          [Diversity and Inclusion Meeting on May 17, 2022.]
          [00:00:04]
          SO WE'LL GO AHEAD AND CALL THE MEETING TO ORDER AT 6 32. 
          AND WE'LL START WITH A ROLL CALL. 
          UM, COMMISSIONER A CHAIRMAN THOMPSON'S HERE. 
          COMMISSIONER GONZALEZ, COMMISSIONER WALKER, COMMISSIONER PRIETTO, COMMISSIONER SPOONS, COMMISSIONER, CHIN, AND COMMISSIONER RANSON, HUDSON. 
          GREAT. 
          NEXT WE'LL MOVE TO PUBLIC COMMENT. 
          DO WE HAVE ANY PUBLIC COMMENT? OKAY. 
          HEARING NONE. 
          WE'LL MOVE TO GENERAL COMMENTS FROM CITY STAFF. 
          GOOD EVENING. 
          UM, IT'S BEEN A WHILE SINCE WE'VE MET. 
          SO, UM, I DID WANT TO BRING A FEW THINGS TO YOUR ATTENTION, BUT I'M NOT SURE SINCE COUNCIL MEMBER KENZIE IS, IS HERE. 
          IF SHE OKAY. 
          BUT IT WAS ADDRESS, IT WAS AN EMAIL ADDRESS TO YOU. 
          SO I WASN'T SURE IF YOU WERE GOING TO ADDRESS THAT OR IF YOU WANT ME TO TALK ABOUT OKAY. 
          UM, SO JUST WANTED TO BRING, UM, AN EMAIL TO THE COMMISSION'S, UM, AWARENESS. 
          AND FIRST OF ALL, I'M SO SORRY. 
          WELCOME. 
          UM, COMMISSIONER RANSON, HUDSON. 
          SO NICE TO SEE YOU HERE. 
          UM, SO I'M GOING TO JUST READ AN EMAIL THAT WAS SENT TO, UM, OUR CITY COUNCIL LIAISON, UH, COUNCIL MEMBER KENZIE ON MAY THE SEVENTH FROM THE MAY 5TH CITY COUNCIL MEETING. 
          UM, SO IT READS COUNCIL MEMBER KENZIE. 
          I REACHED OUT TO YOU SINCE YOU ARE THE LIAISON FOR THE DNI. 
          DO YOU KNOW IF THERE ARE ANY PLANS BY THE CITY OF HADOW OR THE DNI TO RECOGNIZE OR CELEBRATE HISPANIC CULTURE? THIS PAST THURSDAY, I WATCHED THE COUNCIL MEETING AND WAS DISAPPOINTED THAT THE CITY DID NOT ACKNOWLEDGE CINCO DE MAYO COUNCIL MEMBER VIEW REAL SALVO DID MENTION IT AND STATED THAT HOW DOES POPULATION IS 54% HISPANIC? IF THIS NUMBER IS ACCURATE, IT IS IN THE CITY'S BEST INTEREST TO RECOGNIZE THIS GROUP OF PEOPLE AS A MEMBER OF THE HUDDLE HISTORY WRITING COMMITTEE. 
          MY TASK IS TO WRITE ABOUT THE SPANISH MEXICAN ROOTS OF HUDDLE THROUGH 1876, THUS FAR, I'VE NOT FOUND MUCH INFORMATION REGARDING THIS FORGOTTEN POPULATION. 
          MY RESEARCH HAS REVEALED THAT THEY WERE IN THE HUDDLE IN THE WILLIAMSON COUNTY AREAS AS WRITTEN IN THE HISTORY OF NEARBY CITIES, ALONG WITH SEVERAL OTHERS. 
          MY FAMILY SETTLED IN HERETO IN THE EARLY 19 HUNDREDS AND MANY HISPANIC FAMILIES. 
          AND I'LL CALL HUTTOE THEIR HOME. 
          I URGE THE CITY OF HADOW TO RECOGNIZE THE HISPANIC COMMUNITY AND THEIR CULTURE. 
          WE HAVE SO MUCH TO OFFER AND HAVE MANY STORIES YET TO BE TOLD. 
          THANK YOU, ROSE AGUILAR MCMILLAN. 
          SO JUST TO BRING THAT TO YOUR AWARENESS, UM, WE, AS STAFF DID MEET AND DISCUSS, UM, THIS TOPIC AND, UM, I LET THEM KNOW THAT THE COMMISSION WAS MEETING TODAY AND THAT I WOULD BRING THIS TO YOUR ATTENTION. 
          UM, AND STAFF, WE RECOMMEND, UM, IF POSSIBLE THAT LIST, I BELIEVE IT WAS COMMISSIONER SPOONS HAD SENT OUT IF THERE'S A WAY THAT WE COULD, UM, FROM THE COMMISSION'S DISCRETION RECEIVE, UM, HAVE THAT SCALED DOWN TO, TO WHAT YOU KNOW, TO, UM, PROCLAMATIONS, TO ANNOUNCEMENTS, TO WHATEVER WE WANT TO CALL THAT PER MONTH. 
          AND WE CAN GO AHEAD AND HAVE THAT CALENDAR AND WE CAN PRESET THESE DATES AHEAD OF TIME. 
          AND THEN AS THINGS COME UP, WE CAN ALWAYS FROM THE COMMISSION, UM, CAN BRING THINGS SEPARATELY AHEAD, BUT THAT'S JUST A STAFF RECOMMENDATION FOR MAYBE THE NEXT MEETING. 
          OKAY. 
          MAY I SPEAK? YEAH. 
          OR DO I NEED TO WAIT A SECOND? THIS IS KIND OF WHERE I GET ON MY SOAP BOX, BECAUSE WE DID HAVE THIS DISCUSSION ABOUT CINCO DE MAYO. 
          AND I THINK THIS IS WHERE WE KIND OF SQUASHED IT A LITTLE BIT AND PERHAPS DROPPED THE BALL ON THIS ONE BECAUSE I THINK WE, AND I, I WISH ANA WAS HERE BECAUSE WE TALKED ABOUT IT. 
          AND I THINK WE MAY HAVE EVEN MENTIONED THAT THIS WAS A NON CELEBRATED HOLIDAY. 
          AND SO I THINK IN HINDSIGHT, THIS IS WHERE IT WOULD BE GREAT TO KIND OF HAVE THAT DISCUSSION IN, MAYBE GET THE COMMUNITY FEEDBACK ON THIS SO THAT WE'RE NOT SITTING HERE WITH EGG ON OUR FACE. 
          UM, BECAUSE I DON'T THINK THE CALENDAR PRETTY MUCH IS THE ISSUE. 
          I THINK IT'S THE FEEDBACK WHERE WE HAVE THAT CONVERSATION AND WE DON'T TAKE OUR OWN PERSONAL ISSUE WITH THESE HOLIDAYS IS THAT WE KIND OF SAY, THIS IS WHAT PEOPLE WANT. 
          THIS IS NOT WHAT WE THINK AND HAVE OUR OPINION PUT IN ON IT BECAUSE WE DID, I DID BRING IT UP ALONG WITH THE CALENDAR AND I THINK WE WANTED IT, BUT I THINK COLLECTIVELY, WE SAID, UM, BUT YOU KNOW, PEOPLE DON'T CELEBRATE IT AND PEOPLE DON'T DO THIS AND PEOPLE DON'T DO THAT. 
          SO NOW I THINK THIS IS KIND 
          [00:05:01]
OF GRASPING AT WHO TO BLAME FOR THE BALL BEING DROPPED. 
          I DON'T THINK IT'S A CALENDAR ISSUE. 
          I THINK IT'S A US ISSUE AND WE MAY HAVE FAILED IN IT. 
          AND I THINK WE'RE GOING TO CONTINUOUSLY DO THIS. 
          IF WE DON'T TAKE OUR SELF OUT OF IT AND JUST DO THINGS AND QUIT WORRYING ABOUT WHAT PEOPLE MAY THINK. 
          IF WE DO IT, I THINK THIS IS GOING TO HAPPEN WITH JUNETEENTH. 
          I THINK THIS IS GOING TO HAPPEN WITH A LOT OF DIFFERENT HOLIDAYS. 
          I THINK WE JUST DO THINGS PERHAPS WE WILL OFFEND PEOPLE, PERHAPS WE MAY NOT, BUT WE HAVE TO STOP WORRYING ABOUT WHO WE'RE GOING TO OFFEND IF WE DON'T JUST DO STUFF, BECAUSE I THINK WE HAVE BEEN CALLED SO MANY DIFFERENT NAMES IN THE PUBLIC EYE THAT WE ARE AFRAID TO DO ANYTHING. 
          AND WE'VE GOT TO STOP WORRYING ABOUT THAT. 
          WE JUST HAVE TO GET OUT THERE AND DO STUFF BECAUSE WE HAVE, AND A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE SAID THIS, WE HAVE JUST MET AND DONE NOTHING. 
          AND SO AT THIS POINT WE GOT TO DO SOMETHING. 
          WE IT'S THE SAYING, I LIKE SAY, AND I CAN'T SAY IT HERE, BUT WE GOT TO GET OFF OF IT AND DO SOMETHING. 
          AND THAT'S JUST MY PIECE. 
          YEAH. 
          I MEAN, I DO REMEMBER WE DID AND BEING A DISCUSSION. 
          I MEAN, IT IS A CONTRACT IT'S CONTROVERSIAL IN SOME CIRCLES BECAUSE IT'S WHITE PEOPLE CELEBRATING SOMETHING THAT MEXICAN PEOPLE DON'T NECESSARILY SELL, CELEBRATE. 
          THAT WAS WHAT WAS DISCUSSED. 
          I DON'T KNOW THAT AS FACT, AND I DON'T WANT TO BE SPEAKING FOR ANYBODY, BUT I DO REMEMBER HAVING THAT CONVERSATION. 
          I JUST WANT TO SAY THAT WE HAD THE CONVERSATION THAT IT WAS SORT OF LIKE THIS MAY BE OFFENSIVE. 
          IT COULD BE OFFENSIVE. 
          AND YEAH, I DO REMEMBER THAT AND I'M NO EXPERT ON AND, AND, AND, AND NEITHER AM I, I JUST KNOW THAT A LOT OF HISPANIC PEOPLE AND I MAY EVEN BE USING THAT TERM INCORRECTLY, BUT I KNOW THERE'S A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT CELEBRATE CINCO DE MAYO AND THEY MAY NOT KNOW, YOU KNOW, THE HISTORY OF IT FULLY, BUT THEY KNOW BETTER THAN ME BECAUSE AS A BLACK WOMAN, I DON'T KNOW EVERYTHING ABOUT BLACK HISTORY, BUT I KNOW ENOUGH THAT WHEN JUNETEENTH HAPPENS, I CELEBRATE IT. 
          SO, I MEAN, I, I DON'T WANT TO OFFEND ANYBODY. 
          THAT'S THE FIRST THING. 
          SO, BUT WHAT I DO WANT TO DO IS INCLUDE PEOPLE AND I KNOW THIS ROOM IS EMPTY. 
          AND SO I THINK PUBLIC FEEDBACK IS VERY IMPORTANT. 
          SO WE, WE HAVE TO DO THINGS AND INCLUDE PEOPLE BECAUSE THAT'S WHERE WE GET THE INCLUSIVE PART OF IT. 
          UM, SO WE HAVE TO INCLUDE PEOPLE. 
          AND SO I THINK AT THIS POINT NOW WE CAN'T FIX THAT. 
          YOU KNOW, WE CAN'T FIX THAT PROBLEM, BUT GOING FORWARD, I KNOW THAT THERE'S A LOT OF OPPORTUNITY OUT THERE SEAL. 
          AND I KNOW THAT IT HAPPENED WHEN WE, WHEN IT WAS BLACK HISTORY MONTH, WE, WE DIDN'T DO ANYTHING. 
          WE TALKED ABOUT IT, BUT WE FELT LIKE IT WAS TOO LATE. 
          I THINK EVEN ACKNOWLEDGING SOMETHING ON THE WEBSITE WOULD HAVE BEEN BETTER THAN NOT DOING ANYTHING. 
          WE HAVE TO BE MORE PROACTIVE BECAUSE IF WE'RE NOT PROACTIVE, THEN IT LOOKS LIKE WE DON'T HERE. 
          AND I KNOW THAT IS NOT TRUE. 
          WE CARE BECAUSE WE WOULDN'T BE HERE. 
          CAUSE I KNOW MYSELF, I JUST GOT OUT OF THE HOSPITAL. 
          AND THE LAST THING I WOULD WANT TO BE DOING IS SITTING SOMEWHERE IF I DIDN'T CARE, CAUSE I COULD BE DOING A WHOLE LOT OF OTHER THINGS. 
          SO I THINK NOW GOING FORWARD, WE HAVE TO SHOW THAT WE CARE. 
          THAT'S MY LITTLE SPIEL. 
          CHRISTIE, DID YOU HAVE ANYTHING ELSE FOR CITY STAFF COMMENTS? I DID REALLY QUICKLY. 
          AND IT HONESTLY WAS GOING TO BE BROUGHT UP REGARDLESS OF WHAT THIS EMAIL WAS. 
          BUT I DID WANT TO ALSO BRING, UM, TO THE COMMISSION MAYBE FOR THE NEXT AGENDA, UM, UP TO YOU GUYS, BUT WE ARE PLANNING, UM, IN SEPTEMBER MID TO LATE SEPTEMBER, SOME SORT OF INTERNATIONAL FESTIVAL, UM, TO CELEBRATE, UM, ALL DIFFERENT TYPES OF CULTURES, FOODS IN THAT SORT OF THING. 
          AND SO WE WOULD REALLY LIKE TO WORK WITH YOU GUYS TOGETHER, UM, AND GET RECOMMENDATIONS FROM YOU BASED ON PUBLIC FEEDBACK AND THINGS OF THAT NATURE. 
          SO POSSIBLY AS A DISCUSSION ITEM, I'D LIKE, UM, TO HAVE THAT FOR EITHER THE NEXT MEETING OR IF THE EVENTS COMMITTEE STILL EXISTS TO MEET WITH THEM, THAT'S ALL I HAVE. 
          AND I'M, I KNOW CHRISTY YOU WEREN'T ON THIS EMAIL. 
          I DON'T, I THOUGHT I HIT REPLY ALL, BUT I DON'T THINK YOU WERE ON THE ORIGINAL THREAD. 
          SO I WANTED TO READ TO YOU GUYS MY RESPONSE TO MS. MCMILLAN, BECAUSE A LOT OF WHAT YOU'RE SAYING, UM, I DID ADDRESS, SORRY. 
          SORRY. 
          NO, NO, I'M, I'M VERY, IT WAS YOUR IDEA AND I WAS NOT MY, DID YOU HAVE ANYTHING ELSE CHRISTIE FOR UM, CITY STAFF COMMENTS. 
          OKAY. 
          SO THEN WE'LL GO AHEAD AND MOVE TO GENERAL COMMENTS FROM CITY COUNCIL REPS. 
          SORRY. 
          UM, SO, UM, HELLO, MS. MCMILLAN, THANK YOU FOR EMAIL. 
          I DO APOLOGIZE FOR NOT RECOGNIZING THE CINCO DE MAYO CELEBRATION DURING MY COMMENTS AT THE FIVE FIVE MEETING, THE DNI IS AWARE OF THE HOLIDAY AND IT WAS INCLUDED IN THEIR DISCUSSIONS AS A COMMISSION. 
          THEY DECIDED THAT IT WOULD BE MORE APPROPRIATE TO DO A FOCUS ON HISPANIC CULTURE, MORE SURROUNDING DIA DE MUERTOS IN OCTOBER OR NOVEMBER. 
          SINCE THAT BEING MORE 
          [00:10:01]
CELEBRATED, MORE WIDELY ACROSS THE HISPANIC CULTURE, THEY ARE PLANNING AN EVENT. 
          UM, WHEN I LOST MY TRAIN OF THOUGHT WHERE IT WAS, THEY ARE HOPING TO PLAN AN EVENT, ESPECIALLY CIRCLING AROUND HISPANIC CULTURE AND DIA DONE WITH THOSE. 
          I KNOW YOU GUYS HAVE HAD A LOT OF DISCUSSION ABOUT THAT PARTICULAR, UM, HOLIDAY. 
          UM, I SAID, I WILL PASS ALONG YOUR WORDS TO THE COMMISSION. 
          I APPRECIATE YOUR TIME AND REACHING OUT. 
          UM, AND YOUR TIME ON THE HEAD OF HISTORY WRITING COMMITTEE. 
          I KNOW THAT THE D AND I WOULD BE REALLY INTERESTED TO HEAR YOUR THOUGHTS, UM, FOR YOU TO COME AND SHARE YOUR THOUGHTS, UM, IN THE INFORMATION ON THE HISPANIC CULTURE IN HUTTOE ALL THE BEST. 
          AND THEN MY NAME, UM, SO A HUNDRED PERCENT, DID I, AT LEAST I HOPEFULLY, UM, MY RESPONSE TO HER, I HOPE IS KIND OF A LOT OF, UM, THE TRUTH, YOU KNOW, OF WHAT HAPPENED. 
          AND THERE WAS A DISCUSSION IN THE HISPANIC CULTURE. 
          UM, SO HOPEFULLY SHE DID NOT RESPOND BACK. 
          SO I DON'T KNOW IF THAT SUFFICE FOR HER OR NOT. 
          UM, I DID NOT GET A RESPONSE, UM, BUT I DID RESPOND WITH KIND OF THE, THE COMMISSION'S DISCUSSIONS AND THINGS THAT HAVE BEEN REGARDING, ESPECIALLY AROUND THE HISPANIC CULTURE. 
          UM, SO THAT, THAT WAS MY RESPONSE TO THAT. 
          AND, YOU KNOW, I COMPLETELY AGREE WITH COMMISSIONER SPINS. 
          WE'RE ALWAYS, THERE ARE SO MANY, YOU KNOW, HOLIDAYS AND VERY SPECIFIC CULTURE WHEN WE SAW THAT LIST. 
          I MEAN, IT WAS, IT'S MASSIVE, IT'S A MASSIVE LIST. 
          I MEAN, THERE'S NO WAY THAT WE'RE GOING TO DO EVERY SINGLE THING TO BE ABLE TO HAVE, UM, THAT IN, UM, YOU KNOW, IT'S DEFINITELY IN MY BEST INTEREST, YOU KNOW, AS A COUNCIL MEMBER, YOU KNOW, TO AT LEAST INCLUDE IN MY COMMENTS AS, AS A RECOGNITION. 
          SO THAT'S A GROWING POINT FOR ME. 
          UM, AND THAT'S A PRETTY EASY FIX, UM, AND SOMETHING THAT DOESN'T TAKE A WHOLE, WHOLE LOT OF TIME. 
          UM, AND I THINK YOU GUYS ARE, YOU KNOW, LIKE YOU SAID, YOU HERE CAUSE YOU YOU'RE, YOU CARE AND JUST TRYING TO KIND OF GET AHEAD OF THAT CURVE BALL. 
          AND LIKE YOU SAID, WE IT'S JUST ALWAYS SEEMS LIKE WE KIND OF JUST LIKE, WELL, WE DON'T HAVE TIME. 
          WELL, WE MISSED THE MARK, BUT WE DIDN'T MEET OR, YOU KNOW, SOMETHING JUST NEVER QUITE GOT US THERE. 
          UM, SO, YOU KNOW, AND I KNOW IT'S NOT NECESSARILY JUST A CALENDAR OR JUST AN EVENTS ISSUE, BUT IT DEFINITELY IS, YOU KNOW, COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT AND HOW DO WE GET PEOPLE INVOLVED? SO WE KIND OF HAVE A HEARTBEAT BECAUSE AS OF RIGHT NOW, YOU KNOW, WE HAVE, UM, SIX COMMISSIONERS AND, YOU KNOW, JUST KIND OF US LESS THAN 10 PEOPLE IN THE ROOM AND IT, IT'S HARD TO KIND OF REALLY HAVE A PULSE OF WHAT THE HUDDLE COMMUNITY IS WANTING. 
          UM, SO I, I HOPE THAT, UM, AND THE SURVEY ANYWAYS, BACK TO MY ORIGINAL COMMENT, SO I WAS GOING TO SAY, UM, WE HAVE THE, UM, SURVEY, UM, I BELIEVE THAT THAT WAS PICKED AT RANDOM TO WHO THAT'S GOING TO, AND I'M SORRY, BRIAN, IF YOU'RE GOING TO GIVE AN UPDATE ON THAT. 
          UM, SO I WON'T SAY TOO MUCH ABOUT THAT, BUT HOPEFULLY WHAT ARE YOU PLANNING BRIAN? YEAH. 
          OKAY. 
          WELL THEN I WON'T, I'LL LET HIM DO THE UPDATE ON THAT. 
          UM, JUST TO SAY, HOPEFULLY THAT WILL HELP US GET A BETTER HEARTBEAT AND WHAT EVENTS ARE IMPORTANT. 
          AND MAYBE SOME PLACES THAT YOU KNOW, WAS, IS A, IS A WEAKNESS IN PLACES WE CAN, WE CAN IMPROVE. 
          UM, AND THEN KIND OF ALONG THAT SAME LINE WITH WANTING TO ACKNOWLEDGE, YOU KNOW, HISPANIC HERITAGE, UM, I ALSO RECEIVED, UM, NOT A WHOLE LOT. 
          I RECEIVED TWO OTHER EMAILS JUST ASKING IF WE WERE GOING TO BE DOING ANYTHING, UM, FOR LGBTQ PLUS. 
          UM, AND LIKE I SAID, AT THIS POINT, UM, MID MAY, IT, IT IS THE MONTH OF JUNE. 
          UM, SO I DON'T, AND I DON'T WANT TO PUT ANYTHING TOGETHER, HAPHAZARDLY OR, UM, ANYTHING LIKE THAT. 
          SO I'M NOT IN ANY WAY TRYING TO PUT ANYTHING, UM, ON YOUR PLATE. 
          THAT'S NOT GOING TO BE ACHIEVABLE. 
          UM, BUT I'M NOT SURE IF MAYBE WE CAN MAYBE GET THAT ON THE AGENDA FOR JUNE SO WE CAN AT LEAST HAPPENING HAVE SOMETHING FOR THE END OF JUNE, WHETHER IT BE ON THE AGENDA FOR TONIGHT. 
          OKAY. 
          SORRY. 
          I'M BAD. 
          I EMAILED THESE. 
          OKAY. 
          I PICKED THEM UP, LIKE WHEN I WALK IN THE DOOR, I JUST DIDN'T WANT YOU TO KEEP, OKAY. 
          SO THAT'S MY PIECE ON THAT. 
          UM, SO SEE, I'M THINKING PROACTIVELY. 
          UM, AND THEN THERE WERE JUST THREE THINGS THAT I WANTED TO FOLLOW UP ON, UM, AS MYSELF, I GUESS, AS A COUNCIL MEMBER. 
          UM, I KNOW WE HAD TALKED ABOUT THAT SPEAKER TRAINING, QUASI, WHATEVER THAT'S GOING TO LOOK LIKE THAT WE HAD THAT THOUSAND DOLLARS. 
          UM, THE BUDGET CYCLE DOES END IN SEPTEMBER, SO IT DOES HAVE TO BE USED. 
          UM, SO I JUST WANTED TO PUT THAT AGAIN, KIND OF AT YOUR GUYS'S FOREFRONT. 
          UM, AND THEN, UM, THE OPENED ALL CAMPAIGN, I THINK WE GOT SOME GOOD TRACTION WITH THE CHAMBER, AND THEN I'M NOT SURE WE DIDN'T, IT KIND OF GOT CURTAILED AND I KNOW ELECTION SEASON AND EVERYBODY GOT BUSY AND THEN THE CHAMBER HAS EVENTS AND THEN TRYING TO REALLY GET A TIME TO SETTLE DOWN AND REALLY PIN THAT DOWN. 
          BUT I THINK THAT THIS IS A GREAT OPPORTUNITY THAT I DON'T WANT US TO MISS, UM, AS A COMMISSION. 
          UM, AND THEN THE LAST THING WAS THE 
          [00:15:01]
BANNER LOOKS FANTASTIC. 
          UM, IT IS STILL HANGING, YES. 
          OKAY. 
          SO I THOUGHT IT WAS LIKE I WAS THERE THURSDAY LAST THURSDAY NIGHT. 
          UM, AND THE, THE BANNER IS STILL HANGING BY HENRIETTA. 
          UM, IT'S A FANTASTIC BANNER. 
          SO I DON'T KNOW IF YOU GUYS HAD FURTHER THOUGHTS ON THAT. 
          IF YOU WANTED TO MOVE IT AROUND, IF YOU WANTED TO STORE IT SOMEWHERE SAFE, SO IT DOESN'T GET WEATHERIZED AND NASTY FASTER. 
          UM, SO YOU CAN JUST HAVE IT AT SPECIFIC EVENTS. 
          I JUST WANTED TO BRING THAT KIND OF, TO YOUR ATTENTION THAT THE BANNER IS THERE. 
          IT LOOKS FANTASTIC. 
          IT'S HANGING, BUT I DIDN'T KNOW IF THAT'S WHERE YOU WANTED IT TO LIVE. 
          SO THOSE WERE ALL OF MY COMMENTS. 
          THANK YOU. 
          AND WELCOME. 
          I'M SO SORRY. 
          UM, WELCOME TO THE COMMISSION. 
          MY NAME IS CRYSTAL KINSEY. 
          I AM THE DNI LIAISON, BUT I SERVE ON COUNCIL PLEASE. 
          FIVE. 
          THANK YOU, COUNCIL MEMBER KINSEY. 
          UM, ANY GENERAL COMMENTS FROM COMMISSION MEMBERS? I ALREADY JUMPED IN. 
          I THINK I'VE DONE ENOUGH. 
          UM, IF WE DON'T HAVE ANY COMMENTS BEFORE WE BEGIN TONIGHT'S AGENDA ITEMS, I WOULD JUST LIKE TO HAVE A BRIEF MOMENT OF SILENCE FOR, UM, THE UNFORTUNATE EVENTS THAT HAPPENED THIS PAST WEEK IN BUFFALO, NEW YORK, AND IN LAGUNA, CALIFORNIA, IF WE COULD JUST TAKE A MINUTE TO PONDER ON THAT. 
          THANK YOU. 
          I THOUGHT IT WAS IMPORTANT TO AT LEAST ACKNOWLEDGE THAT. 
          UM, JUST BECAUSE, UM, IF YOU'VE HEARD OF ANY OF THOSE INSTANCES, THEY WERE VERY, UH, RACIALLY MOTIVATED. 
          AND BECAUSE OF THAT, UM, I THINK IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT THAT WE, UM, UNDERSTAND HOW IMPORTANT WHAT WE ARE DOING IS TO NOT ONLY OUR COMMUNITY, BUT ALSO TO, UM, THIS NATION. 
          UM, I THINK, UM, BEING IN A DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION COMMISSION, IT'S NOT FOR US. 
          UM, IT'S DEFINITELY FOR US TO SERVE OUR COMMUNITY AND HAVE THEIR BEST INTEREST ALL, UM, AT THE FOREFRONT. 
          AND SO, UM, I JUST THOUGHT THAT WOULD BE A VERY APPROPRIATE THING TO DO ALSO WANT TO CALL ATTENTION TO, UM, THE MONTH OF MAY BEING, UM, AFRICAN, AFRICAN, ASIAN, ASIAN WAIT, AAPI, ASIAN AMERICAN AND PACIFIC ISLANDERS, UM, AWARENESS MONTH. 
          UM, WE DO HAVE A PROCLAMATION THAT WE APPROVED, UM, LAST YEAR. 
          UM, I'M HOPING THAT TONIGHT'S CONVERSATION ABOUT THE WEBSITE COMMITTEE WILL HELP TO, UM, HAVE US PRIORITIZE PUTTING OUR PROCLAMATIONS UP ON A LANDING PAGE THAT IS SPECIFIC TO OUR DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION COMMISSION. 
          SO I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO THAT CONVERSATION. 
          UM, I'M VERY GRATEFUL FOR EVERYONE'S CONTINUED, UM, INVOLVEMENT IN THIS COMMISSION. 
          I KNOW THAT WE HAVE NOT MET IN A COUPLE OF MONTHS DUE TO, UM, ELECTION SEASON WEATHER, UM, NOT HAVING ENOUGH COMMISSIONERS, BUT I DO APPRECIATE EVERYONE FOR BEING HERE TONIGHT AND FOR REALLY, UM, STICKING WITH THE DIVERSITY INCLUSION COMMISSION. 
          I KNOW THAT THIS COMMISSION IS, UM, BENEFITING OUR CITIZENS AND SOMETHING THAT IS NEEDED IN OUR CITY. 
          AND I'M VERY GRATEFUL TO EACH ONE OF YOU FOR TAKING THE TIME OUT TO, UM, PRIORITIZE THE DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION COMMISSION AMONGST ALL OF YOUR OTHER ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES. 
          SO THANK YOU FOR THAT. 
          THANK YOU TO CITY STAFF FOR CONTINUING TO KEEP US, UM, UM, JUST ON TASK, UM, THE CONSTANT EMAILS AND, UM, BRINGING CITIZEN, UM, COMMENTS AND, UM, AWARENESS. 
          I REALLY APPRECIATE IT. 
          UM, AND SO THANK YOU FOR YOUR COUNTLESS HOURS THAT YOU DEDICATE TO THE COMMISSION. 
          UM, WITH THAT I'D LIKE TO, OR 
          [00:20:01]
SORRY, IS THERE ANY OTHER, UM, COMMENTS FROM COMMISSIONER MEMBERS? I DO HAVE A COMMENT  ON THE WEBSITE THAT SAYS WHEN OUR TERMS ARE UP, MINE SAYS 24 AND IT SHOULD SAY 23. 
          CAUSE I ONBOARDED WITH YOU GUYS. 
          YOU DON'T WANT TO STAY THERE'S TIMES WHEN YOU SORT OF POINT THAT OUT. 
          NOW I STILL LIVE HERE AT THAT TIME. 
          ALL RIGHT. 
          HEARING NONE. 
          WE'LL GO AHEAD AND MOVE TO CONSENT AGENDA ITEM. 
          UM, AND WE WILL START WITH, OR I GUESS FIRST I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO MOVE UP ITEM 9.1 AND 9.2. 
          SO WE HAVE A MOTION BY COMMISSIONER THOMPSON AND A SECOND BY COMMISSIONER WALKER. 
          ANY DISCUSSION ON THE ITEM, PLEASE CALL IT A VOTE. 
          COMMISSIONER, LACEY RANSON, HUDSON COMMISSIONER, GINA CHEN COMMISSIONER TERROR, SPOONS, I GUESS WE'RE SAYING YES, I'LL FOLLOW ALONG WITH THAT ONE. 
          I'M GOING TO SHARE A CANDACE WALKER FISHER ON A CONSOLE LIST. 
          I CHAIRMAN BRIAN THOMPSON MOTION PASSES SIX TO ZERO. 
          SO WE'LL MOVE UP. 
          ITEM 9.1 AND 9.2 IN ITEM 9.1. 
          UM, SINCE THIS GOES ALONG WITH DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE ACTION OF CREATION OF A CITY CODE AND ETHICS, UM, I THINK IT'D BE APPROPRIATE FOR US TO INTRODUCE OURSELVES TO COMMISSIONER, UM, RANSON, HUDSON KNUTSEN. 
          UM, SO IT COMMISSIONERS, IF YOU WANT TO TAKE A SECOND AND STATE YOUR NAME, UM, I GUESS WE COULD GO OFF OF, UM, WHAT WE DO AND OUR FAMILY. 
          I THINK THAT'D BE APPROPRIATE. 
          SO I COULD START SINCE I MADE THAT, UM, COMMISSIONER BRIAN THOMPSON. 
          UM, I WORK IN MARKETING FOR DELL AND I HAVE, UH, ME AND MY WIFE HAVE FOUR KIDS, UM, AGES 7, 5, 3, AND ONE. 
          ARE WE GOING TO GO DOWN THAT ROAD? I MEAN, IF YOU DON'T WANT TO, WE HAVE A LIMIT AT THREE, JUST STOP IT. 
          UM, ON A COMMISSIONER OUT OF GONZALEZ, UM, I OWN A LOCAL HAIR SALON AND DAY SPA CALLED THE STUDIO DOWN HERE.

          HUH? UM, TARA SPOONS, I'VE BEEN TOLD I'M A BIT OF A TROUBLEMAKER. 
          I DON'T BELIEVE IT, BUT APPARENTLY ON LAST WEEK, THE HOSPITAL AGREED WITH THAT. 
          MY DAUGHTER, MY SON AND DAUGHTER GRADUATED COLLEGE LAST WEEK. 
          THEY'RE NOT TWINS. 
          MY DAUGHTER GOT HER MASTER'S AND MY SON GOT HIS BACHELOR'S. 
          THEY DECIDED TO DO IT ONE IN AVALENE, ONE IN SAN MARCUS TO SEE IF THEY COULD SPLIT ME IN HALF. 
          IT WAS FINE. 
          UM, I'M A VIRGO, UM, WHICH PROBABLY EXPLAINS WHY I'M A TROUBLEMAKER FOR ADULT CHILDREN. 
          I'M ALSO GOING BACK TO SCHOOL JUST TO ADD MADNESS TO THE PAUSE. 
          AND I'VE BEEN MARRIED ALMOST 25 YEARS AND HE STILL LIKES ME. 
          WE COLOGNE A COMPANY TOGETHER AND I ALSO DECIDED TO BE A TRAVEL AGENT. 
          I DON'T KNOW WHY WE DID BRIAN. 
          SO YOU'RE NEXT. 
          I KNOW. 
          NO, THAT'S AN ADA PERSON. 
          THAT'S, I'M EXPERIENCED 
          [00:25:11]
PEOPLE GET THINGS DONE, NOT DOING ENOUGH. 
          OKAY. 
          I AM TENNIS WALKER. 
          UM, SO I WORK AT APPLE. 
          I LEAD A TEAM OF FOUR SIRI. 
          PUT IT THAT WAY. 
          UM, YEAH, GROWNUPS AND, UH, I HAVE TWO KIDS HAVE FOUR AND SIX. 
          I'M STILL MARRIED. 
          I STILL THERE GUY. 
          UM, BUT IN MY SPARE TIME, I'M IN TWO DIFFERENT SCHOOLS FOR MY MASTERS. 
          UM, ONE FOR ANALYTICS AND THE OTHER ONE IS FOR MY EXECUTIVE BUSINESS. 
          AND THAT'S WHAT I DO FOR FUN STUDY AND DO THE JUGGLING. 
          I LIKE TO SHOOT THINGS. 
          SO WELCOME TO THE TEAM. 
          NOW YOU GET TO TALK. 
          TELL US PLEASE. 
          OKAY. 
          UM, I AM RETIRED AIR FORCE. 
          I RETIRED HERE IN 2019 ONE YEAR, SEVEN MONTHS IN TWO DAYS. 
          SHE DON'T UNDERSTAND THE SEVEN TO EIGHT. 
          MY BOSS IS REALLY IMPORTANT TOO. 
          HE'S RETIRED AIR FORCE THE AMOUNT OF TIME. 
          UM, MY HUSBAND IS A RETIRED MARINE THAT AGAINST HIM THOUGH. 
          OH NO, BUT HE'S A GOOD GUY. 
          I HAVE TWO KIDS, UM, TENANT SEVEN. 
          UM, I'M THE CURRENT PTA PRESIDENT AT NATY AND JOHNSON. 
          HOPEFULLY THAT'LL BE DONE SOON. 
          IT WAS VERY, UM, INTERESTING. 
          UM, I COMPLETED MY MASTER'S IN HISTORY AND I'M DOING A DOCTORATE IN EDUCATION, ORGANIZATIONAL LEADERSHIP RIGHT NOW. 
          SO I STILL HAD GI BILL MONEY. 
          YES. 
          I THINK I HAVE THE OLDEST KIDS IN YOUR WHOLE GROUP. 
          MY OLDEST SISTER. 
          YOU SELL BELONG HERE. 
           MY DAUGHTER IS IN THE AIR FORCE. 
          WELL, WELCOME COUNCIL MEMBERS. 
          THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR VOLUNTEERING AND SPENDING TIME WITH US. 
          AND, UM, LOOK FORWARD TO WORKING WITH YOU ON THE COMMISSION OF IF YOU WANT TO PULL YOUR MIC DOWN SO WE CAN. 
          RIGHT. 
          SO, UM, IN ITEM NINE ONE, I PUT THIS ON THE AGENDA. 
          UM, JUST BECAUSE, UM, IF YOU HAVE WATCHED CITY COUNCIL MEETINGS THE PAST TWO MONTHS, UM, THEY'VE BEEN A LITTLE, UM, LIVELY, I GUESS IS A GOOD WORD. 
          SO LAST, LAST, I'LL SAY TWO. 
          UM, THEY'VE BEEN LIVELY, UM, TO, AS A RESULT OF THAT, UM, AS YOU, EACH ONE OF YOU SEE THERE'S BEEN HADOW CITY COUNCIL EXPECTATIONS THAT HAVE COME OUT OF THAT, UM, WITH A, UH, COUNCIL MEMBER RETREAT THAT HAPPENED, UM, ALSO YOU'VE SEEN IF YOU'VE WATCHED COUNCIL MEETINGS, YOU'VE SEEN, UM, KIND OF THE COMMUNITY COME TOGETHER AND RALLY TOGETHER AROUND THE MCA, UM, WHICH WAS GREAT TO SEE. 
          UM, BUT IF YOU ALSO WATCHED THE END OF THAT AGENDA ITEM, THERE WAS KIND OF A BYPASS OF THE PARKS AND REC ADVISORY BOARD. 
          AND SO I PUT THIS AGENDA ITEM ON OUR AGENDA BECAUSE AS A DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION COMMISSION IN THE CITY OF HUTTOE, I THINK, AND THIS IS JUST ME PERSONALLY, I THINK THAT ONE OF OUR CHARGES FROM CITY COUNCIL IS TO IDENTIFY WAYS THAT WE CAN IMPROVE AND BE MORE RESPECTFUL TO ONE ANOTHER, BUT ALSO IMPROVE AROUND, UM, PROCESS AND PROCEDURES, NOT JUST IN THE CITY, UM, BUT ALSO IN THE COMMUNITY. 
          AND SO BECAUSE OF THAT, UM, I IDENTIFIED THAT WE REALLY DON'T HAVE A CITY CODE OF ETHICS THAT OUR BOARDS AND COMMISSION FOLLOWS THAT KIND OF OUR CITY STAFF FOLLOWS THAT OUR CITY COUNCIL FOLLOWS. 
          AND WHEN I SAY A CODE OF ETHICS, MEANING SOMETHING THAT REALLY HELPS US TO KNOW, YOU KNOW, WHAT WE ARE HOLDING OURSELVES RESPONSIBLE FOR HOW WE TREAT EACH OTHER, UM, AND REALLY THE TRANSPARENCY AND HONESTY THAT WE NOT ONLY TO EACH OTHER, BUT TO THIS, OUR CITIZENS. 
          AND SO BECAUSE OF THAT, UM, I DRAFTED UP A MOCK CODE OF ETHICS FOR OUR CITY, THAT MY VISION IS TO SEE THIS AT THE BACK OF EVERY, UM, AGENDA FOR ANY COMMISSION 
          [00:30:01]
THAT IS IN THE CITY. 
          THAT WAY WE CAN ALL HAVE, OR THE SAME, UH, RESPONSIBILITIES HELD TO THE SAME STANDARD THAT WE WOULD WANT, UM, YOU KNOW, COMMISSION MEMBERS THAT WE SUPPORT TO HOLD THEMSELVES ACCOUNTABLE FOR THOSE TO THOSE SAME STANDARDS. 
          AND SO I THINK THIS WOULD BE SOMETHING THAT WOULD BE APPROPRIATE TO COME OUT OF THE DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION COMMISSION TO PRESENT TO CITY COUNCIL FOR ADOPTION, NOT JUST, UM, FOR OUR COMMISSION, BUT ALSO FOR EVERY COMMISSION THAT IS IN THE CITY. 
          AND HOPEFULLY THAT, UM, YOU KNOW, TRICKLES UPWARD TOWARDS, UM, CITY STAFF AS WELL AS CITY COUNCIL. 
          SO JUST LIKE TO HAVE A DISCUSSION, EACH OF YOU WERE PROVIDED THIS CODE OF ETHICS, UM, DRAFT BEFORE THE MEETING. 
          AND SO JUST WANTED TO HAVE A DISCUSSION ON THIS ITEM AND, UM, POTENTIAL ADOPTION OF THIS, UH, CODE OF ETHICS. 
          AND THEN FROM THERE, UM, WE COULD TALK ABOUT, YOU KNOW, PRESENTING THIS AT CITY COUNCIL TO, UH, KIND OF STATE OUR CLAIM AND SEE, YOU KNOW, IF THIS IS SOMETHING THAT COULD BE ADOPTED MORE WIDELY, I THINK IT'S A GREAT IDEA. 
          YEAH. 
          I, I READ THROUGH IT. 
          I MEAN, IT SOUNDS GOOD. 
          AND I FEEL LIKE I SHOULD GO WATCH THE VIDEOS OF THE CITY COUNCIL MEETINGS BECAUSE IT SOUNDS ENTERTAINING, BUT I MEAN, I I'M ALL FOR THIS. 
          I THINK THIS IS IMPORTANT. 
          I'M GOING TO HAVE TO CIRCLE PRETTY LIVELY, PASSIONATE, PASSIONATE. 
          THAT'S A GOOD WORD. 
          PASSIONATE. 
          YEAH. 
          THANK YOU, BRIAN, FOR THIS TOGETHER. 
          I THINK THIS IS GREAT. 
          OH, I SECOND THAT, YEAH. 
          THAT'S WHAT MY MOTION IS TO APPROVE IT. 
          I GUESS. 
           I AGREE. 
          I THINK IT'S SOMETHING THAT WE SHOULD ALREADY KNOW, BUT IT'S ONE OF THOSE THINGS WHEN YOU SEE IT IN BLACK AND WHITE, YOU'RE LIKE, OH YEAH, LET ME SIT BACK FOR A MINUTE AND LIKE READJUST MYSELF BECAUSE I KNOW THAT I SHOULDN'T BE DOING THIS. 
          AND I PROBABLY LEARNED THIS IN THIRD GRADE, BUT I PROBABLY SHOULDN'T SAY THAT CAUSE THAT'S NOT VERY NICE NOW I KNOW I SHOULDN'T BE DOING WELL. 
          AND I THINK IT'S ALSO SOMETHING THAT, YOU KNOW, I THINK, YOU KNOW, IF YOU, IN, IN THESE DIFFERENT COMMISSIONS, WE, YOU KNOW, DEBATE TOPICS, WE TALK ABOUT THINGS THAT WE'RE PASSIONATE ABOUT. 
          AND I THINK SOMETIMES, YOU KNOW, THAT PASSION COULD BE MISTAKEN FOR AGGRESSION. 
          AND I THINK SOMETIMES IT IS AGGRESSION. 
          I MEAN, NOT THAT THAT LATE AT NIGHT I READ AND I'M NOT GOING TO MENTION IT, BUT I READ SOME OF THE THINGS ONLINE AND IT IS DEFINITELY AGGRESSION AND NO, I MEAN, AND IT'S COMES ACROSS AS AGGRESSIVE IN SOME OF THE THINGS THAT SOME PEOPLE SAY IT'S NASTY. 
          I MEAN, IT'S BEYOND, THERE WAS THE CODE OF ETHICS FOR THE FACEBOOK THREADS THAT GO ON WITH PEOPLE THAT THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT. 
          AND IT BOTHERS ME THAT I THINK THAT SOME PEOPLE THAT HAVE LEFT SEATS HAVE NO CODE OF ETHICS THAT FOLLOW THEM AFTERWARDS. 
          OKAY. 
          SHE'S BEING REALLY SPECIFIC NOW. 
          I WAS KIND OF BROUGHT ABOUT IT. 
          OKAY. 
          BUT NOW SHE'S TALKING, IT'S JUST VERY, IT'S VERY HURTFUL STANDARD. 
          AND THEN WHEN THEY LEAVE, THEY IT'S OPEN GROUND. 
          OH, OH YEAH. 
          I MEAN, IT'S VERY NASTY AND IT'S VERY HURTFUL BECAUSE YOU HAVE RESPECT FOR CERTAIN PEOPLE. 
          AND ONCE YOU GET BEHIND A COMPUTER, YOU SAY WHATEVER YOU WANT TO SAY, CAUSE YOU'RE SITTING AT HOME EATING CHEETOS AND YOU THINK YOU CAN TALK TO ANYBODY ANY KIND OF WAY YOU WANT TO, AND IT'S NOT OKAY. 
          AND I THINK WHEN YOU'RE SITTING UP HERE, YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO BE, EVEN WHEN YOU GO HOME, YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO BE HELD TO A DIFFERENT STANDARD AND YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO TALK TO PEOPLE LIKE, AND I THINK SOMETHING LIKE THIS WILL HELP TO, YOU KNOW, KIND OF REIGN IN IT. 
          YOU KNOW, HOPEFULLY THERE'S NOT AGGRESSIVENESS IN, IN DISCUSSION, BUT YOU KNOW, IF THERE IS, AND I KNOW WE'VE HAD, YOU KNOW, OUR ISSUES HERE ON THE DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION COMMISSION, BUT I THINK THIS WOULD BE SOMETHING WHERE, YOU KNOW, WE CAN ALWAYS REFER BACK TO THE CODE OF ETHICS, ETHICS, AND IF THERE'S EVER AN ISSUE, YOU KNOW, WE HAVE A GOOD FOUNDATION ON, HEY, WE HAVE AN ISSUE LET'S, LET'S SOLVE THIS. 
          THIS IS HOW I'M NOT FEELING RESPECTED OR HOW I DON'T FEEL LIKE YOU'RE BEING HONEST OR FAIR. 
          AND, UM, YOU KNOW, IF, IF WE NEED TO ADD TO THIS AS OVER THE YEARS, WE CAN, WE CAN ALWAYS, YOU KNOW, REVISIT THIS. 
          BUT I THINK THIS GIVES US A GOOD FOUNDATION ON, YOU KNOW, IF THERE'S HURT FEELINGS, IF THERE'S, YOU KNOW, A, UH, A STRUCTURE OF A CONVERSATION THAT NEEDS TO BE HAD, UM, BECAUSE OF, YOU KNOW, AGGRESSIONS OR, OR NOT FEELING, YOU KNOW, VALIDATED, UM, I THINK THIS GIVES US A GOOD FOUNDATION. 
          SO, UM, YEAH, THAT'S WHERE WE GO WITH IT. 
          I WOULD EVEN TAKE IT A STEP FURTHER THAN THIS. 
          I THINK IN THAT MOMENT, WE NEED TO BE ABLE TO SAY, HEY, I DON'T EVEN, I DON'T EVEN KNOW IF YOU WANT TO CALL IT A SAFE WORD 
          [00:35:01]
WHERE YOU CAN SAY IN THAT MOMENT, WHEN THAT STARTS, YOU CAN REFER TO THIS AND SAY IT, YOU KNOW, I WANT TO CALL THIS. 
          LIKE, IF SAY WE'RE GOING BACK AND FORTH. 
          YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT I'M SAYING? NO, BECAUSE SOMETIMES, I MEAN, THERE'S THERE'S LAW THAT SAYS THAT THERE'S SOMEBODY SAYS, OKAY, WE'RE GOING TO PULL THIS. 
          YOU KNOW, I KIND OF LIKE, I DON'T KNOW YET. 
          IT'S KIND OF LIKE THAT. 
          I KNOW YOU CAN TABLE IT, BUT EVEN IF YOU'RE IN THAT MOMENT AND YOU, YOU WANT TO SAY, HOLD ON, YOU KNOW, I CALLED THIS OR WHATEVER. 
          I DON'T KNOW HOW YOU CAN WORD IT. 
          YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT I'M SAYING? IT'S LIKE, THIS IS A TIME OUT. 
          BUT I MEAN, IN A, YEAH, YOU CAN SAY THAT. 
          YEAH. 
          I MEAN, CAUSE YOU WANT TO, YOU WANT TO BE ABLE TO TABLE IT, BUT YOU WANT TO REMEMBER. 
          AND SO THAT WAY YOU CAN'T, YOU DON'T CAUSE YOU DON'T WANT TO CUT ANYBODY OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF YOUR DISCUSSION. 
          BUT CAUSE I KNOW LIKE IT'S BEEN SO LONG SINCE MY KIDS HAD SPORTS, BUT I KNOW THEY HAVE THIS RULE WHERE IT'S LIKE, YOU CAN'T APPROACH THE COACH WITHIN A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF TIME. 
          YOU GOT TO GIVE IT 24 HOURS OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT WITH THIS WITH US, YOU KNOW, I DON'T WANT TO ARGUE WITH ANYBODY. 
          AND I KNOW WE'VE HAD SOME PRETTY HEATED DISCUSSIONS AND SO I, I DON'T WANNA CUT ANYBODY OFF, BUT I ALSO WANT TO SAY, HEY, LET'S COME BACK TO THIS. 
          WE HAVE THIS IN PLACE. 
          SOME KIND OF RULE WE HAVE IN PLACE WHERE WE CAN DISCUSS THIS, BUT I WANT TO GIVE US ALL TIME TO COOL OFF. 
          IF WE HAVE THIS, YOU KNOW, HEY, THIS IS OUR TIME, A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF TIME. 
          WE CAN TALK ABOUT THIS AT ANOTHER TIME. 
          RIGHT? I DON'T WANT TO TELL YOU THAT WHAT YOU'RE SAYING, DOES IT MAKE SENSE TO ME? BUT I ALSO DON'T WANT TO KEEP ARGUING WITH YOU EITHER. 
          AGREED. 
          SO WE HAVE A MOTION BY COMMISSIONER THOMPSON AND THEN THE SECOND BY COMMISSIONER CHIN. 
          ANY OTHER DISCUSSION ON THE AGENDA ITEM, HEARING NONE. 
          PLEASE CALL A VOTE. 
          CHAIRMAN BRIAN THOMPSON COMMISSIONER ON A GONZALEZ. 
          I MISSIONARY CANDICE WALKER. 
          MISSIONER TARA SPOONS. 
          I COMMISSIONER GINA CHIN HIGH COMMISSIONER LACY RANSON, HUDSON MOTION PASSES SIX ZERO. 
          UM, SO THE NEXT STEPS WILL BE TO GET ON THE CITY COUNCIL AGENDA TO DISCUSS THIS, UM, HOPEFULLY AT THE NEXT CITY COUNCIL MEETING, IF NOT, UM, WE COULD DEFINITELY PUSH IT TO THE FOLLOWING, BUT, UM, WHEN THAT HAPPENS, UM, GRACIE, WOULD YOU MIND SENDING OUT AN EMAIL TO THE COMMISSION AND I DON'T MIND TAKING THIS AS, SINCE THIS WAS AN AGENDA ITEM THAT I HAD. 
          I DON'T MIND TAKING THIS TO CITY COUNCIL. 
          AND IF THERE'S ANYONE THAT WOULD LIKE TO BE THERE TO, WHEN IS THE NEXT CITY COUNCIL MEETING? I DON'T KNOW IF WE CAN GET ON THE AGENDA. 
          I MEAN, I BE, I'D BE HAPPY TO BE THERE IF I'M NOT. 
          THANK YOU. 
          SO THE NEXT CITY COUNCIL MEETING IS THURSDAY, SO MAY 19. 
          SO IT'S ALREADY HAD TO BEEN POSTED. 
          SO UNFORTUNATELY IT WON'T MAKE IT ON FOR THAT AGENDA. 
          AND THEN IF I CAN HAVE A SELFISH REQUEST AND YOU CAN TOTALLY DENY IT BECAUSE I DO NOT NEED TO BE THERE, BUT I WILL BE ABSENT AT THE JUNE 2ND MEETING. 
          JUST SO YOU GUYS ARE AWARE, OBVIOUSLY I DO NOT HAVE TO BE THERE. 
          I WOULD LIKE TO BE, BUT I DON'T WANT TO BE STOPPING MOVEMENT. 
          SO I'M JUST, I GUESS WE COULD SEE HOW, UH, HOW LIVELY THE NEXT CITY COUNCIL. 
          YEAH, I KNOW I CAN COME WITH YOU GUYS. 
          I JUST WANT TO BE ABLE TO BE ON THERE AND YEAH, SO JUST MY LITTLE 2 CENTS. 
          SO THEN WE'LL MOVE NEXT TO ITEM NINE TO DISCUSSION DISCUSSION ON THE DIVERSITY AND COMMISSION'S REVIEW OF PURPOSE, INTENTIONS, AND IDENTITY IN THE COMMUNITY. 
          UM, GRACIE, THANK YOU FOR PULLING UP THE CODE OF ETHICS. 
          IF YOU COULD PULL THAT ONE UP, THAT'D BE GREAT. 
          UM, THIS WAS MY AGENDA ITEM AS WELL, AND I APOLOGIZE. 
          I WANTED TO GET THESE AGENDA ITEMS UP FIRST, JUST BECAUSE, UM, IN MOVING TO THE SUBCOMMITTEES, I FEEL LIKE UNDERSTANDING OUR VISION, OUR GOAL, WELL, OUR VISION AND, AND OUR IDENTITY. 
          THAT'S REALLY GOING TO HELP US TO KIND OF STRUCTURE WHERE WE WANT THESE SUBCOMMITTEES TO GO FROM HERE. 
          AND SO THAT'S THE PURPOSE OF ME PULLING THESE UP. 
          UM, ALSO THE CODE OF ETHICS. 
          I JUST THINK THAT'S SOMETHING THAT, YOU KNOW, WE KIND OF NEED TO UNDERSTAND WHERE MY THOUGHT PROCESS WAS BEFORE GETTING WITH THE COMMITTEES, JUST TO UNDERSTAND, UM, YOU KNOW, WHERE WE CAN, IF THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WE WOULD WANT TO DO. 
          AND SO THANK YOU FOR, UM, PULLING THESE ITEMS UP COMMISSIONERS AND, UM, HAVING A DISCUSSION ABOUT IT. 
          SO, UM, 9.2 DISCUSSION ON THE DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION, COMMISSIONS REVIEW A PURPOSE, INTENTIONS AND IDENTITY IN THE COMMUNITY. 
          UM, WE HAVE HAD A LOT OF COMMISSIONERS COME THROUGH THE DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION COMMISSION, UM, AND BECAUSE OF THAT, WE HAVE, UM, HAD DIFFERENT GOALS, MORE CHANGE. 
          UM, AND I FEEL 
          [00:40:01]
LIKE NOW THAT WE REALLY HAVE KIND OF OUR FEET ON THE GROUND, WE HAVE OUR, UM, YOU KNOW, WE HAVE COMMISSIONERS THAT, YOU KNOW, YOU FEEL GOOD ABOUT THEIR COMMITMENT AND THEIR DESIRE TO BE ON THIS COMMISSION. 
          I THINK IT'S APPROPRIATE TO REVIEW WHAT WE HAVE AS OUR COMMISSION GOALS, OUR VISION, UM, WHAT WE WANT TO ACHIEVE AND REALLY LOOK AT THAT AND, YOU KNOW, DO WE WANT TO EDIT THAT? DO WE WANT TO TWEAK THAT? AND SO CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG, COMMISSIONER GONZALEZ AND COMMISSIONER SPOONS, WE DIDN'T REALLY HAVE A VISION AND AN EMISSION. 
          UM, WHENEVER WE FIRST STARTED THE COMMISSION, WE KIND OF JUST USE THE CHARTER THAT WAS GIVEN TO US FROM CITY COUNCIL. 
          BUT I FEEL LIKE NOW THAT WE'VE BEEN, YOU KNOW, IN THE ROLE FOR MORE THAN A YEAR, UM, AND WE'VE SEEN THINGS AND WE'VE OBVIOUSLY HEARD, UH, CITIZEN COMMENT, I THINK, UM, YOU KNOW, CRAFTING A VISION AND A MISSION WOULD BE APPROPRIATE. 
          UM, SO THAT WAY, YOU KNOW, WE'RE DOING WHAT WE'RE SAYING AND WE'RE HOLDING OURSELVES ACCOUNTABLE, NOT ONLY TO, YOU KNOW, THIS COMMISSION, BUT ALSO TO THE CITIZENS. 
          AND SO THIS IS SOMETHING THAT I DRAFTED UP DON'T EXPECT US TO, YOU KNOW, TAKE IT WORD FOR WORD, JUST THOUGHT THIS COULD GIVE US A GOOD STARTING POINT. 
          UM, BECAUSE LIKE I SAID, WHAT WE HAVE CURRENTLY IS JUST THE CHARTER FROM CITY COUNCIL. 
          AND SO, UM, IF YOU WANT TO PULL UP THE CHARTER FEEL, UM, BUT I'D LIKE TO, YOU KNOW, HAVE A DISCUSSION ABOUT WHAT OUR VISION AND OUR MISSION IS. 
          SO THAT WAY, WHENEVER WE GET TO TALKING ABOUT CALENDAR AND EVENTS, OR WHEN WE GET TO TALKING ABOUT, YOU KNOW, WHAT WE WANT FOR OUR NEXT SUBCOMMITTEE, WE AT LEAST KNOW, HEY, THIS IS OUR VISION. 
          THIS IS WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO ACHIEVE. 
          WHAT SUBCOMMITTEE DO WE NEED TO CREATE IN ORDER TO ACHIEVE THESE THINGS? I MEAN, I THINK THIS IS, IS GREAT TOO. 
          I MEAN, I THINK THIS MAKES A WHOLE LOT OF SENSE. 
          THE ONLY, THE ONLY SUGGESTION I HAVE TO IT IS WHEN WE HAVE THAT FREE OF RACISM, HOMOPHOBIA, XENOPHOBIA, ABLEISM, I FEEL LIKE SEXISM SHOULD BE ON THAT LIST. 
          AND I KNOW WE DON'T, WE GET HEAD INTO THAT RAN IF THAT CONVERSATION WHERE YOU COULD PUT EVERYTHING ON THE LIST AND I DON'T WANT TO DO THAT, BUT I ALSO FEEL LIKE SEXISM IS PROBABLY IN THE GROUP THAT SHOULD BE THERE, BUT THAT'S MY 2 CENTS ON THAT. 
          I THINK THAT MAKES SENSE. 
          BUT I THINK THIS IS REALLY GOOD. 
          AND I REALLY LIKED THE FOCUS ON EQUITY IN IT, BECAUSE HONESTLY, BEFORE I JOINED THIS COMMISSION, I WAS SURPRISED THE NAME WAS DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION AND NOT DIVERSITY INCLUSION AND EQUITY, BUT I DIDN'T WANT TO BRING THAT UP BECAUSE I WAS NEW. 
          SO I'M GLAD THAT OUR, OUR VISION AND MISSION TALKS ABOUT EQUITY BECAUSE I THINK THAT'S IMPORTANT. 
          YEAH. 
          IS THERE ANY WAY WE CAN ADD IN LIKE AN ADVOCATE FOR ALL? CAUSE I FEEL LIKE ADVOCACY IS A HUGE PART OF THE COMMISSION. 
          I MEAN, THAT'S PART OF IT AND I JUST THINK JUST THAT WORD. 
          AND WHAT ABOUT, YEAH, I THINK LIKE WHERE IT SAYS, LIKE IN THAT LIST WHERE IT'S FOSTERING, ACKNOWLEDGING AND TRAINING, I THINK THAT THAT'D BE A GREAT PLACE TO BE, TO PUT ADVOCACY INSIGHT THERE AS, AS A LISTING INSIDE, YOU KNOW, THINGS THAT WE COULD DO. 
          SO WHAT WOULD THE, WHAT WOULD IT SAY ADVOCACY FOR ALL? SO WHERE ARE YOU PUTTING THAT BODY ADDING? JUST A FOURTH BULLET POINT RIGHT THERE. 
          COMMISSIONER WALKER. 
          WHAT DID YOU WANT IT TO SAY SPECIFICALLY? OR WHAT WAS YOUR THOUGHT PROCESS AROUND IT? IT WAS GOOD. 
          IT WAS BECAUSE WE SAY LIKE TREATING ALL CITIZENS AND VISITORS WITH RESPECT AND DIGNITY, BUT WE'RE ALSO ADVOCATES. 
          SO WHERE ARE YOU BULLET POINTING THAT? YEAH, I WAS THINKING ABOUT ADDING IT AS A BULLET. 
          YOU MIGHT, SO THAT, ARE YOU PUTTING IT IN THERE IN THAT WITH A COMMA? YOU JUST TOSSED IT UP WHEN YOU, WHEN YOU THINK THE FIRST PLACE I PUT IS LIKE GREAT BULLET POINT TO JUST PUT INSIDE THERE AS A CLEAR STATEMENT THAT WOULDN'T GET LOST IN VERBIAGE OF OTHER PARTS OF, BECAUSE YOU KNOW, WHEN PEOPLE READ THIS, THEY'RE GOING TO READ A LITTLE BIT AND THEN THEY'RE GOING TO GO TO THE BULLET POINTS. 
          UH, A BULLET POINT WOULD BE GOOD BECAUSE IF YOU PUT IT THERE IN THE MIDDLE, THEN IT BRINGS ATTENTION TO IT. 
          NOT SAYING THAT ANYTHING ELSE IN THERE IT'S JUST NOT. 
          BUT I THINK IF YOU, BECAUSE IT SAYS IT DOES WITH BOTH OF YOU, YOU'RE SAYING IF YOU PUT A BULLET POINT THERE YOU DON'T WANT, AND IF, INSTEAD OF TREATING ALL CITIZENS AND VISITORS WITH RESPECT, DIGNITY, WE SAID ADVOCATING FOR ALL CITIZENS AND VISITORS WITH RESPECT AND DID BIG, RIGHT. 
          CAUSE ISN'T IT COMBINING BOTH OF THEM THEN I DON'T KNOW. 
          IT'S JUST AN EYE BECAUSE ADVOCACY IS A TRUE ADVOCATE. 
          I THINK ADVOCACY IS REALLY GOOD WORD HAVING THAT. 
          I REALLY LIKED THAT. 
          I THINK IT'S ONE OF THOSE FIGHTS. 
          MY MOM TOLD ME ABOUT EXACTLY. 
          IT'S A VERY $5 WORD, IS IT WE'RE TREATING ADVOCACY RIGHT. 
          OR ADVOCATING, ADVOCATING ADVOCATE ADVOCATING FOR ALL CITIZENS AND VISITORS WITH RESPECT 
          [00:45:01]
AND DIGNITY ARE SO SMART. 
          TAKES A VILLAGE. 
          YEAH. 
          BUT YOU BROUGHT UP THE ADVOCATING THING. 
          THAT'S THE MOST IMPORTANT THING FOR SO LONG. 
          YEAH. 
          NO, IT'S A GOOD, IT'S A GOOD POINT BECAUSE THAT IS WHAT WE'RE DOING AND WE DON'T WANT TO JUST, WE WANT TO ADVOCATE. 
          YEAH. 
          YEAH. 
          THERE A, CAUSE IT'S A HIGHER LEVEL OF ENGAGEMENT CIRCLES TREATING AND ADVOCATING. 
          ADVOCATING JUST MEANS THAT WE ARE MORE INVESTED IN THAT PERSON AND THOSE PEOPLE'S, UM, YOU KNOW, RELATIONSHIP WITH THE CITY. 
          YEAH. 
          OR LIKE A SOUNDING BOARD. 
          BECAUSE AGAIN, WITH THE SINGLE MILE, WE ALL HAVE DIFFERENT VIEWS OF IT. 
          IT'S NEITHER HERE NOR THERE RIGHT NOW. 
          THERE ARE OTHER OPPORTUNITIES THAT WE HAVE GOING FORWARD. 
          SO I THINK OF JUST THOSE OPPORTUNITIES IN GENERAL, I THINK THAT'S WHAT WE NEED TO START. 
          AND THAT'S WHERE YOU ADVOCATE FOR EVERYBODY. 
          YEAH. 
          I LIKE THAT. 
          I LIKE THAT. 
          SO THEN WE HAVE ADDING IN SEXISM, UM, THAT'S ACTUALLY A HARD JOB TO ADVOCATE FOR EVERYBODY BECAUSE YOU HAVE TO THINK OF EVERYONE, EVEN PEOPLE YOU DON'T NECESSARILY EVEN AGREE WITH IT. 
          EXACTLY. 
          THAT GOES BACK TO THE CODE OF ETHICS. 
          EXACTLY. 
          YOU MAY NOT AGREE. 
          YES. 
          I THINK WE LEARNED SOMETHING GUYS. 
          MY HEART JUST, I THINK WE KNEW IT ALREADY. 
          I KNOW. 
          OKAY. 
          SO WE HAVE ADDING IN SEXISM AFTER HOMOPHOBIA, XENOPHOBIA, ABLEISM, SEXISM, AND ALL OTHER SYSTEMS OF OPPRESSION. 
          AND THEN ON THE THIRD BULLET POINT, WE ARE GOING TO SUBSTITUTE TREATING ALL CITIZENS FOR ADVOCATING FOR ALL CITIZENS AND VISITORS WITH RESPECT AND DIGNITY. 
          YES. 
          GREAT. 
          OKAY. 
          ANY OTHER DISCUSSION ON THE ITEM BEFORE CALLING TO VOTE ON THE DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION VISION AND MISSION HEARING NONE, PLEASE CALL TO VOTE. 
          COMMISSIONER ANA GONZALEZ. 
          I AM A SHARE A CANDACE WALKER CHAIRMAN. 
          BRIAN THOMPSON WAS YOUR TOWER SPOONS. 
          I COMMISSIONED COMMISSIONER GINA CHEN COMMISSIONER LACEY RANSOM, HUDSON. 
          I MOTION PASSES SIX ZERO GRACIE. 
          I JUST REALIZED, I DON'T THINK ANYONE HAD MADE A MOTION FOR THIS. 
          DO WE NEED TO DO THAT AGAIN? DO WE NEED A MOTION? UM, ARE YOU GONNA, ARE YOU GUYS BRINGING IT BACK FOR, WITH THE FINAL REVISIONS? OH WE CAN. 
          SHOULD WE DO THAT? WOULD YOU RECOMMEND US DO THAT ITEM NUMBER? WAS THIS RELATIVE TO OH, SO IT'S NOT, THERE'S NO ACTION ON IT. 
          IT'S JUST A DISCUSSION. 
          IT'S JUST A DISCUSSION. 
          SO SHOULD WE MAKE THE CHANGES, BRING IT BACK AND THEN CALL. 
          OKAY. 
          OKAY. 
          WE HAD TO DO THIS. 
          WOULD THAT THIS CODE OF ETHICS TOO, OR? NO, IT DOESN'T MATTER BECAUSE WE DIDN'T CHANGE ANYTHING, CHANGE ANYTHING ON IT. 
          OKAY. 
          SO WE'LL BRING THIS ITEM BACK AROUND TO OUR NEXT MEETING WITH THOSE REVISED CHANGES. 
          IF I MAY 9.1, THE WAY IT'S WORDED TO ME DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE CREATION, THAT WOULD BE THE ACTION ITEM ON 9.1. 
          SO I THINK YOU HAVE THAT THE VERBIAGE ON 9.1 FOR IT TO BE AN ACTION ITEM 9.2. 
          NOT SO MUCH. 
          YEAH. 
          SO I DON'T THINK 9.1 NEEDS TO COME BACK. 
          GREAT. 
          OKAY. 
          YEAH. 
          AND THAT'S WHAT, YEAH, THAT'S WHAT WE HAD. 
          OKAY, COOL. 
          THANK YOU, COUNCILMAN MCKINSEY. 
          UM, OKAY, SO MOVING FORWARD, WE'LL MOVE BACK UP TO, UM, THE AGENDA ITEM 8.1 OR EIGHT COMMITTEE GOALS AND PROGRESS PROGRESS. 
          AND WE'LL START AT 8.1 DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE ACTION RELATED TO THE DESIGNATION OF MEMBERS AND ACTION ITEMS OF THE WEBSITE COMMITTEE. 
          UM, JUST A LITTLE BACKGROUND FOR, UM, FOR, UM, COMMISSIONER RANTS AND HUDSON. 
          UM, SO FOR OUR COMMISSION, THERE WAS A LOT OF IDEAS WHENEVER WE FIRST FORMED IT. 
          AND SO BECAUSE OF THAT, UM, REALLY A LOT OF THE WORK THAT HAPPENS FOR DNI HAPPENS OUTSIDE OF MEETINGS. 
          AND SO BECAUSE OF THAT, WE CREATED SUB COMMITTEES WHERE WE HAVE, UM, NO MORE THAN THREE MEMBERS, BECAUSE FOUR IS A QUORUM. 
          UM, WE HAVE THREE MEMBERS FOR A SUBCOMMITTEE OF CALENDAR AND EVENTS, UM, TRAINING AND ASSESSMENT, UM, TO, YOU KNOW, WHATEVER IDEAS YOU HAVE, BRING THEM TO YOUR SUB COMMITTEE. 
          AND LET'S GO AHEAD AND START, YOU KNOW, MAKING ACTION ITEMS, KNOCKING OUT THOSE ACTION ITEMS AND THEN BRINGING IT TO THE MEETING FOR DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE 
          [00:50:01]
ACTION. 
          SO WHENEVER WE APPROVE IT, THEN WE CAN, YOU KNOW, GO AHEAD AND START DOING IT. 
          AND SO THAT'S WHAT THE SUBCOMMITTEES ARE. 
          UM, WE HAVE SUBCOMMITTEE OPENINGS FOR THE CALENDAR AND EVENTS SUBCOMMITTEE. 
          UM, WE HAVE COMMISSIONER SPOONS AND COMMISSIONER GONZALES CURRENTLY SERVING ON THOSE. 
          UM, WE HAVE OPENINGS ON THE TRAINING COMMITTEE CURRENTLY. 
          IT IS MYSELF AND COMMISSIONER WALKER. 
          AND THEN ON THE ASSESSMENT SUBCOMMITTEE, WE HAVE MYSELF AND COMMISSIONER CHIN. 
          SO ALL SUBCOMMITTEES ARE OPEN. 
          YOU COULD ESSENTIALLY JOIN EVERY SUB COMMITTEE IF YOU WANT TO DO. 
          UM, BUT JUST, JUST SO YOU HAVE SOME BACKGROUND. 
          SO, UM, RIGHT NOW WE'LL GO AHEAD AND START TALKING ABOUT THE WEBSITES OF THE COMMITTEE. 
          THIS IS A NEW SUBCOMMITTEE THAT WE HAVE NOT, UH, CREATED YET. 
          THEN WE'LL MOVE TO THE CALENDAR AND EVENTS, TRAINING AND ASSESSMENT. 
          OKAY. 
          SO FOR 8.1, THIS IS A DISCUSSION, UM, ABOUT THE WEBSITE SUBCOMMITTEE. 
          I THINK THIS IS SO LAST MEETING. 
          WE VOTED TO CREATE A WEBSITE. 
          SO COMMITTEE THIS MEETING, WE NEED TO DESIGNATE MEMBERS. 
          UM, I THINK BEFORE WE DO THIS, UM, I THINK WE'RE SEEING THE IMPORTANCE OF THE WEBSITE SUBCOMMITTEE AND HOW IMPORTANT IT WILL BE. 
          SO JUST AS A PREAMBLE TO US STARTING THIS DISCUSSION, I DON'T WANT THIS TO COME OFF WRONG, BUT IT'S GOING TO COME OFF WRONG FOR THE WEBSITES OF COMMITTEE. 
          WE'RE SEEING THAT, YOU KNOW, WE HAVE CITIZENS THAT WANT RECOGNITION ON CERTAIN HOLIDAYS. 
          WE ARE SEEING THAT CITY STAFF IS EAGER TO WORK WITH US ON PUTTING SOMETHING OUT TO CITIZENS ABOUT DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION SPECIFIC, UM, INITIATIVES. 
          YOU'RE SEEING THAT PEOPLE WANT TO KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON IN THIS CITY. 
          WHAT, HOW HADOW IS ADDRESSING ISSUES THAT AREN'T IN HADOW, BUT HAVE EFFECT FOR ALL CITIZENS. 
          UM, WHETHER THEY, YOU KNOW, ARE DIFFERENT, UM, YOU KNOW, RACIALLY, UH, RELIGIOUSLY, UM, YOU KNOW, ALL OF THESE DIFFERENT VARIETIES THAT MAKE UP OUR COMMUNITY. 
          PEOPLE WANT TO KNOW ABOUT THAT. 
          AND BECAUSE OF THAT, THIS WEBSITE, SUB COMMITTEE IS GOING TO BE VERY IMPORTANT. 
          AND SO MYSELF TAKING THIS SAME ADVICE, YOU KNOW, IF WE'RE GOING TO JUMP ON THIS WEBSITE, SO COMMITTEE PLEASE BE COMMITTED TO MEETING WITH CITY STAFF TO CREATING ACTION ITEMS AND ACHIEVING THOSE ACTION ITEMS. SO THAT WAY, YOU KNOW, TO STEAL A PHRASE FROM COMMISSIONER SPOONS, WE DON'T LOOK LIKE WE HAVE EGG ON OUR FACE WHENEVER, UM, UH, A CITIZEN COMES TO US AND SAYS, WHY DIDN'T WE? SO JUST, YOU KNOW, TO PREFACE THIS COMMITTEE, LET'S MAKE SURE THAT WHOEVER RAISES THEIR HAND TO BE ON IT, LET'S MAKE SURE THAT YOU'RE COMMITTED TO BEING ON IT. 
          AND, YOU KNOW, WE CAN GET THINGS ACHIEVED. 
          UM, THAT'S MY 2 CENTS. 
          SO LET'S GO AHEAD AND, UH, YOU KNOW, HAVE A DISCUSSION ON THE WEBSITES OF COMMITTEE. 
          I WOULD DEFINITELY VOLUNTEER FOR IT. 
          IT'S ONE OF THE FIRST THINGS WE TALKED ABOUT EARLIER IN THE YEAR. 
          AND I WAS ONE OF THE PEOPLE WHO WERE LIKE, YOU WERE JUMPING OUT OF YOUR SEAT. 
          THAT WAS PART OF WHAT I'M DOING RIGHT NOW IS GRAPHIC DESIGN. 
          SO THIS WILL BE A GREAT OPPORTUNITY TO ENHANCE THOSE SKILLS, AS WELL AS LIKE ALL THE THINGS THAT WE JUST TALKED ABOUT. 
          AND WE JUST WROTE THAT ALL NEEDS TO BE THERE AND WHERE PEOPLE CAN FIND THAT WE CAN ALSO SHOW THE DIVERSITY AND THE DIFFERENT MONTHS BY HIGHLIGHTING DIFFERENT PEOPLE WHO ARE MEETING. 
          SO I THINK THAT'S WHAT THE WEBSITE SHOULD BE. 
          IT SHOULD BE SOMETHING THAT, WHERE W SO WHAT DID I SEE HER? I SEE THIS PERSON. 
          I SEE THEM, WHATEVER IT IS. 
          I THINK WE NEED TO BE ONE COMMUNITY ON THIS WEBSITE. 
          I'M EXCITED. 
          I THINK IT, I THINK IT'S DEFINITELY SOMETHING WHERE, YOU KNOW, WE NEED TO SHOWCASE, YOU KNOW, BUSINESSES, WE NEED TO SHOWCASE CITIZENS. 
          WE NEED TO SHOWCASE, UM, YOU KNOW, OUR, OUR, UM, PROCLAMATIONS THAT WE HAVE, WE HAVE A PROCLAMATION FOR, UM, ASIAN AMERICAN AND PACIFIC ISLANDER FOR THIS MONTH. 
          AND I DON'T THINK ANYONE KNOWS THAT. 
          UM, AND SO, YOU KNOW, WE NEED TO, WE NEED TO UTILIZE THIS, THIS WEBSITE TO REALLY GET OUT THE HEART OF HUDDLE, REALLY THE, YOU KNOW, THE, WHAT MAKES HUDDLE HUDDLE, UM, JUST SO THAT PEOPLE AREN'T GOING TO FACEBOOK AS COMMISSIONER SPOONS SAID, AND, YOU KNOW, SEEING THE BACK AND FORTH AND THINKING, MAN, THIS CITY IS, YOU KNOW, BACKWARDS AND TWICE ON SUNDAY, YOU KNOW? UM, I DID NOT SAY THAT HE SAID THAT I MIGHT'VE SAID THAT I WAS THINKING IT, 
          [00:55:02]
I WAS SITTING ON MY HANDS. 
          WHY ARE YOU LOOKING AT ME NOW? I WANT TO DO IT. 
          BUT, UM, YOU KNOW, I'M DOING ONE THING. 
          AND SO I'VE ALWAYS LIKE, BRIAN, STOP LOOKING AT ME. 
          OKAY. 
          I WANT TO DO IT. 
          I WANT TO DO IT. 
          BUT YOU ALREADY KNEW THAT DIDN'T YOU, YOU KNOW, AND I, AND THE REASON WHY I WANT TO DO IT, I THINK HONESTLY, WITH ME BEING ON THE CALENDAR AND EVENTS, I THINK IT WOULD BE WISE TO HAVE ME THERE OR SOMEBODY, OR EVEN ANA SHE'S A TON OF WORK. 
          I THINK AT LEAST ONE OF US THERE SO THAT WE CAN KIND OF THINK THIS THING THROUGH, UM, NOT NECESSARILY ME OR EVEN ANA, UM, ONE OF US THERE, SOMEBODY, I DON'T KNOW, Y'ALL HELPED ME CAUSE I ALWAYS VOLUNTEER FOR SOME, I WAS PTA TWO. 
          I WAS GIRL SCOUT LEADER, LORD HAVE MERCY HELPED ME. 
          UM, THAT'S WHY YOU LITERALLY SEE ME SITTING ON MY HANDS. 
          CAUSE I'M, I KNEW IT WAS COMING, BUT I DON'T MIND DOING IT IF, IF YOU NEED ME TO DO IT. 
          UM, NOW IN THIS COMMISSION, CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG, CHRISTIE, THIS COMMISSION, I THINK ONE OF THE BEST WAYS, WHENEVER WE WERE TALKING ABOUT IT IS FOR THIS COMMISSION TO GET WITH THE COMMUNICATIONS TASK FORCE TO BE ABLE TO PUT OUT BECAUSE THEY KNOW WHAT WE CAN SAY AND WHAT WE CAN'T SAY AM GOING IN THE RIGHT, RIGHT. 
          THAT'S CORRECT. 
          THAT'D BE VERY IMPORTANT TO ME. 
          I NEED, I NEED LIKE IF YOU SEE MY, MY DESK AT HOME, IF YOU SEE EVERYTHING, LITERALLY I AM A VERY PUNCTUAL PERSON. 
          I HAVE TO KNOW THIS TIME AND THIS DATE, I NEED TO KNOW WHERE I NEED TO BE. 
          SO THAT'S VERY IMPORTANT TO ME. 
          I AM NOT LIKE WHEN Y'ALL SEND OUT THAT LAST MINUTE THING TODAY, I WAS LIKE, HOLD ON A MINUTE. 
          IT'S FOUR 30. 
          WHY ARE Y'ALL SENDING ME SOMETHING TO REVIEW? OKAY, LET ME LOOK AT IT NOW. 
          SO I'M VERY, UM, YOU KNOW, I'M VERY TEST ORIENTED. 
          SO I, THAT'S ONE THING THAT'S IMPORTANT TO ME THAT WE, IF I DO THIS, THAT WE NEED TO KNOW EVERYTHING I KNOW, AND IT'S NOT A PERFECT WORLD. 
          I KNOW THINGS HAPPEN. 
          BUT IF WE'RE MEETING IN, I KNOW YOU GUYS EVERYBODY'S PROFESSIONAL, SO I'M NOT WORRIED ABOUT THAT, BUT THAT'S SOMETHING GOING FORWARD. 
          IF WE DO THIS AND I DO THIS, I HAVE TO KNOW THAT I CAN DO IT. 
          AND I THINK, I THINK THE COMMUNICATIONS TASK FORCE WILL BE HERE TO ASSIST YOU AND WHEN THEY NEED THINGS, UM, I THINK THE WILLINGNESS TO MEET WITH THEM IS GOING TO BE KEY AND MAKING SURE THAT, YOU KNOW, WHENEVER THEY'RE ABLE TO WE'LL ME IN LINE, BECAUSE LOOK AT HER, SHE'S ALREADY WRITING NOTES OVER THERE AND SHE'LL BE TEXTING ME. 
          THERE YOU GO. 
          UM, COMMISSIONER CHIN, NOT TO PUT YOU ON THE SPOT, BUT DO YOU HAVE BANDWIDTH TO DO SOMETHING LIKE THE WEBSITE? YEAH. 
          I MEAN, WHAT COMMISSION WAS I, WHAT SUBCOMMITTEE WAS I I'M WITH YOU IS THAT SORT OF ASSESSMENT. 
          SO ONCE WE, ONCE WE GET THE SURVEY OUT, UM, THE RESPONSES, I MEAN, THAT'S GOING TO BE ANOTHER BIG THING THAT WE NEED TO TACKLE AND KIND OF, YOU KNOW, SORT THOSE OUT, BUT I'M HAPPY TO BE ON THE, THE, UH, THE, UH, WHAT IS IT? THE, UM, WEBSITE ONE. 
          YES. 
          SURE. 
          HOW MANY PEOPLE CAN WE HAVE ON ONE THOUGH? OKAY. 
          SO IT'S NOT A CORE. 
          YEAH, NO, THAT'S FINE. 
          OKAY. 
          UM, UM, COMMISSIONER GONZALEZ, COMMISSIONER, UM, OH GOSH. 
          OKAY. 
          COMMISSIONER GONZALES WITH THE, WITH THE CALENDAR AND EVENT SUBCOMMITTEE THAT'S BETWEEN YOU AND COMMISSIONER SPOONS IS BECAUSE I AGREE WITH COMMISSIONER SPOONS. 
          WE DO NEED TO HAVE SOMEBODY FROM CALENDAR AND EVENTS. 
          SO WHENEVER WE MEET WITH THE COMMUNICATIONS TASK FORCE, WE CAN SAY, WE HAVE THIS CALENDAR AND EVENT, YOU KNOW, ACTIVITY OR INITIATIVE COMING UP. 
          IS, IS IT OKAY WITH YOU? WOULD YOU LIKE TO BE ON IT? BECAUSE IF THAT'S THE CASE, WE CAN, YOU KNOW, TAKE IT TO A VOTE AND, YOU KNOW, ON THE WEBSITE NOT TO BE ON THE WEBSITE, SO THE COMMITTEE AND GET A TECHNOLOGY. 
          SO NOW OUT OF THAT, NO, I'LL PASS ON THAT. 
          SO WE HAVE, SO I'LL MAKE A MOTION TO HAVE COMMISSIONER, UM, WALKER, COMMISSIONER SPOONS, AND COMMISSIONER CHEN ON THE WEBSITE SUB COMMITTEE. 
          AND FROM THERE, UM, YOU KNOW, YOU LADIES CAN CREATE THE GOALS YOU GUYS CAN CREATE. 
          UM, YOU KNOW, WHAT YOU WANT TO ACHIEVE, HOW YOUR TIMELINES WANT TO BE, UM, GETTING WITH CHRISTIE AND GETTING THE CONTACT INFORMATION WITH THE COMMUNICATIONS TASK FORCE. 
          I'LL LEAVE THAT ALL TO YOU. 
          BUT, UM, WHAT I'D LIKE TO SEE IS IN OUR NEXT MEETING, YOU KNOW, YOU GUYS COME TO THE COMMISSION WITH THOSE THINGS, OUTLINE, YOU KNOW, WHAT THE GOAL IS GOING TO BE, HOW THE STRATEGY IS GOING TO TAKE PLACE, WHAT, YOU KNOW, HOW WE'RE GOING TO SET UP THIS WEBSITE. 
          BECAUSE I THINK, YOU KNOW, WITH OBVIOUSLY THE COMMUNICATIONS TASK FORCE LEADING THE WAY WE NEED TO GET THIS UP PRETTY QUICK, SO THAT WHENEVER SOMEONE GOES TO OUR WEBSITE, THEY CAN CLICK ON, YOU KNOW, OUR LANDING PAGE AND THEY CAN SEE, YOU KNOW, WHO'S SERVING ON THE COMMISSION. 
          UM, YOU KNOW, THE, THE EVENTS, YOU KNOW, SOME SORT OF 
          [01:00:01]
RECOGNITION OF THE MONTH, OUR PROCLAMATIONS, BUT I'LL LEAVE THAT ALL UP TO YOU. 
          SO THAT'S WHAT I'D LIKE TO SEE MOVING FORWARD. 
          UM, BUT DO I HAVE A SECOND ON THE MOTION FOR THESE COMMISSIONERS? SO WE HAVE A MOTION BY COMMISSIONER THOMPSON AND SECOND BY COMMISSIONER JEN, ANY OTHER DISCUSSION ON THE ITEM HEARING NONE, PLEASE CALL TO VOTE. 
          MR. LACEY RANTS, HUDSON BY CHAIRMAN BRIAN THOMPSON, COMMISSIONER, GINA 10 COMMISSIONER ANA GONZALEZ. 
          I COMMISSIONER CANDICE WALKER. 
          I'M GONNA SHARE A TOWER SPOONS. 
          AYE. 
          MOTION PASSES. 
          SIX ZERO. 
          THANK YOU. 
          COMMISSIONER WALKER, SPOONS IN CHIN FOR SERVING ON THIS AND LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING WHAT YOU GUYS GOT. 
          I SUPPOSE THE GRAPHIC DESIGNER DOWN THERE. 
          WE'RE GOING TO SEE WHAT I CAN BREAK IT. 
          OKAY. 
          ALL RIGHT. 
          SO NEXT WE'LL MOVE TO AGENDA ITEM OR ITEM 8.2 CALENDAR AND EVENT SUBCOMMITTEE. 
          UM, ALSO 8.2 UPCOMING CALENDAR OF EVENTS. 
          UM, PRIDE MONTH PROCLAMATION, POTENTIAL SPONSOR AT SUNSET BLOCK PARTY BASH DADDY DAUGHTER, HAWAIIAN NIGHT AND SEVENTH ANNUAL HUDDLE FIREFIGHTERS I A F F LOCAL 4, 7 0 7 GOLF TOURNAMENT. 
          UM, I PUT THESE, UH, THESE POTENTIAL SPONSORS SHIPS OUT ON THE AGENDA, JUST BECAUSE I SAW THOSE ON THE HAY HADOW NEWSLETTER. 
          UM, SO THOUGHT THIS WOULD BE AT LEAST A GOOD OPPORTUNITY FOR US TO PUT OUR BANNER OUT. 
          UM, IF THERE'S AN OPPORTUNITY TO SPONSOR A WHOLE, UM, I DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT SPONSORSHIP WOULD LOOK LIKE, BUT IF THERE'S AN OPPORTUNITY FOR THAT, UM, THIS WOULD BE, YOU KNOW, A GOOD PLACE TO, TO SPONSOR A HOLE AT THE GOLF TOURNAMENT OR HANG OUR BANNER AT THE DADDY DAUGHTER NIGHT, OR, UM, HAVE, UH, AT THE BLOCK PARTY BASH, HAVE OUR, HAVE OUR BOOTH AND A BANNER. 
          UM, AND THEN ALSO, UH, SINCE THIS IS AN EVENT, I THOUGHT IT'D BE APPROPRIATE TO TALK ABOUT A PRIDE MONTH PROCLAMATION AS THAT WAS SOMETHING THAT WAS BROUGHT UP ALSO BY COUNCIL MEMBER KINSEY. 
          SO, UM, YEAH. 
          ANY, ANY UPDATES FROM THE SUBCOMMITTEES? AND THEN I GUESS WE CAN TALK ABOUT, UM, THE PROCLAMATION AND THE POTENTIAL SPONSORSHIPS. 
          SO YEAH. 
          SO, UM, YEAH, SO ON THE CALENDAR. 
          SO ARE WE LOOKING AT JUNE, JULY AND AUGUST RIGHT NOW? ARE WE JUST DOING THREE MONTHS OR FOUR MONTHS? THREE MONTHS, THREE MONTHS. 
          JUNE, JULY, AUGUST. 
          SO WE KNOW IN JUNE WE'VE GOT JUNETEENTH COMING UP AND ALL THAT THAT HAPPENS. 
          UM, DO WE WANT, ARE WE GOING TO HAVE A BOOTH THERE AND WHAT DOES, WHAT, OKAY, SO WHEN WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THE BOOTH, ANY BOOTH AT ANY EVENT, I THINK IF WE HAVE SOMETHING THAT'S, REPLICATABLE, THAT'S BASICALLY THIS BOOTH IS JUST HERE AND THIS IS WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE THAT'S WHAT'S IN IT AND IT'S GOING TO BE HERE AND HERE AT ALL. 
          IT'S I THINK WOULD BE GREAT. 
          YES. 
          THAT WOULD BE CONSISTENT. 
          WE WOULD HAVE THE BANNER, WE WOULD HAVE A TABLE, WE'D HAVE THE QR CODES, RIGHT. 
          THINGS LIKE THAT. 
          UM, AND WE MAY OR MAY BE NICE TO HAVE VOLUNTEERS THERE TO TALK AND ASK QUESTIONS AND FEEL THINGS LIKE THAT. 
          SO WE NEED TO CONTACT FOR JUNETEENTH ABOUT HAVING A BOOTH THERE THAT'S BECAUSE OF THE PAST WON'T BE ME. 
          SO I GUESS THE QUESTION FOR ME IS AT, AT THESE EVENTS THAT WE WANT TO SPONSOR, OR THAT WE WANT TO BE AT WHAT IS GOING TO BE, WE NOW HAVE A MISSION AND A VISION. 
          SO COMMISSIONER GONZALEZ, WHENEVER YOU SAY, YOU KNOW, WE COULD FEEL QUESTIONS OR BE THERE TO TALK ABOUT THINGS. 
          I THINK THAT GIVES US A GOOD FOUNDATION. 
          LIKE HERE'S OUR VISION, YOU KNOW, AND I THINK WE CAN GET, YOU KNOW, BANNER EARN NOT BANNERS, BUT LIKE LITTLE BROCHURES MADE UP WITH OUR MISSION AND OUR VISION. 
          AND, YOU KNOW, OBVIOUSLY THE LOGO THAT WE CREATED, UM, WE CAN HAVE THAT. 
          AND, YOU KNOW, THAT COULD BE SOMETHING THAT WE COULD GIVE, BUT I KNOW COMMISSIONER WALKER BROUGHT UP IN OUR LAST MEETING, YOU KNOW, IS THERE SOMETHING THAT WE COULD BRAND AND GIVE AWAY AS WELL? UM, IS THAT SOMETHING THAT WE COULD DO? AND THEN YES, CAUSE THEN WHEN WE'RE TALKING ABOUT BRANDING AND IT GIVES HIM SOMETHING AWAY, THERE'S MONEY INVOLVED WITH US JUST ABOUT TO SAY, IT ALWAYS COMES DOWN TO THAT MONEY. 
          I MEAN, AND WE DO HAVE AN ITEM ON 9.5 TO TALK ABOUT THE CITY ATTORNEY'S RESPONSE REGARDING DONATIONS AND FUNDRAISERS. 
          IS THAT SOMETHING THAT IS, I THINK WE NEED TO WAIT ON THAT ONLY BECAUSE WHEN WE START TALKING ABOUT BEING ABLE TO DO GRAB BAGS, ANYTHING LIKE THAT, WE WERE ALWAYS, 
          [01:05:01]
THAT'S OUR PUSHBACK. 
          THAT'S ALWAYS WHAT OUR ISSUE IS. 
          ESPECIALLY WHEN IT COMES TO US BEING ABLE TO PUT ANYTHING TOGETHER. 
          I THINK THAT'S WHERE, UM, WHERE WE ALWAYS ARE AT, UM, PRETTY MUCH NOTHING IS FREE EXCEPT FOR WHEN WE COME MEET HERE AND WE CAN SIT HERE FOR, UM, BUT IF WE GO ANYWHERE ELSE, WE'RE GOING TO, WHERE ELSE THEY'RE GOING TO CHARGE US SOMETHING WE CAN SHOW UP AND WE CAN TALK TO PEOPLE. 
          WE CAN MAKE QR CODES, WE CAN DO ALL OF THAT, BUT IF WE WANT TO GIVE SOMETHING AWAY, UM, THAT'S USUALLY SOMETHING THAT WE HAVE TO COME IN OUR POCKETS WITH, WHICH I AM OKAY WITH THAT. 
          HONESTLY, I'VE DONE THAT BEFORE. 
          I DIDN'T GET REIMBURSED FOR SOME THINGS THAT I DIDN'T CARE ABOUT. 
          WELL, COUNCIL MEMBER KINSEY, IS THAT LIKE SHOULD, WELL, I GUESS TWO QUESTIONS DOES THE CITY ATTORNEY'S RESPONSE REGARDING DONATIONS AND FUNDRAISER COVER WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT. 
          AND THEN THE SECOND QUESTION IS GIVING AWAY OR DOING SOMETHING LIKE THAT. 
          IS THERE, IS THERE FUNDS THAT WE COULD UTILIZE? IS THAT SOMETHING THAT, YOU KNOW, WE NEED TO GO TO CITY COUNCIL AND, AND YOU KNOW, LIKE HOW WE DID WITH THE BANNER TALK TO CITY COUNCIL ABOUT WHAT ARE THE PARAMETERS ABOUT HAVING SOMETHING OR CREATING EVEN LIKE A BROCHURE TO GIVE TO SOMEONE? I MEAN, OUTREACH OUTREACH IS NOT FREE. 
          I MEAN, NO, THE ONLY TIME OUTREACH CAN BE FREE IS A QR CODE THAT THEY CAN JUST SCAN WITH THEIR PHONES. 
          I THINK THE BEST ADVICE I CAN SAY IS TO GO TO CITY COUNCIL. 
          I DON'T WANT TO NECESSARILY TALK ABOUT 9.5 BECAUSE IT'S ITS OWN SEPARATE THING, BUT KIND OF THE RESPONSE WAS THAT THE ANSWER IS NO. 
          OKAY. 
          WE CAN'T DONATE FUNDRAISE. 
          THAT'S KIND OF THE SHORT ANSWER, WHICH IS, I THINK WHAT THAT WAS, THAT WAS, YEAH. 
          I THINK THAT'S SOMETHING YOU WOULD HAVE TO GO BACK TO CITY COUNCIL FOR. 
          UM, I'M NOT SURE. 
          I MEAN, I KNOW I'M NOT SURE IF THE OTHER COMMISSIONS HAVE BROCHURES AND I KNOW THAT THEY DEFINITELY DON'T HAVE BRANDED ITEMS AND AN EARTH FRIENDLY WORLD. 
          A QR CODE IS THE BEST THING TO GO WITH. 
          AND THE REASON I SAY THAT IS BECAUSE WHEN I GO TO A FESTIVAL AND THINGS ARE HANDED OUT THERE ON THE GROUND AND IT'S LITTER AND TRASH AND PEOPLE REALLY DON'T LOOK AT PAPER AND IT'S NOT SO MUCH THAT I, I WANT TO GIVE A NECKLACE OR BRACELET. 
          THAT'S MORE OF WHAT I'M LOOKING AT BECAUSE I STILL HAVE A GLOW STICKS AND I STILL HAVE A BUNCH OF THOSE. 
          SO YOU HAVE THAT FOR FESTIVALS IN CASE ANYBODY NEEDS ANY AND THE DNI COMMISSION, WE GOT THOSE, SORRY, SUNSET BLOCK PARTY. 
          I GOT THOSE STILL. 
          I JUST WANTED TO MAKE ONE OTHER QUICK COMMENT. 
          UM, THEY HAVE BEGIN, BEGIN BEGUN, UM, ASKING FOR VOLUNTEERS FOR JUNETEENTH. 
          UM, I HAVE THE LADY'S CONTACT INFORMATION. 
          I DO PLAN TO VOLUNTEER AT THE JUNETEENTH EVENT I'VE ALREADY SIGNED UP. 
          UM, SO I HAVE THE, THE INFORMATION AND THE, THE POINT PERSON, UM, MS. JANET HORACE. 
          I'M NOT SURE IF Y'ALL, I, I PROBABLY KNOW IF I SAW HER, BUT I DON'T KNOW HER BY NAME. 
          UM, SO I KNOW THAT THEY'RE DEFINITELY LOOKING FOR VOLUNTEERS AND, UM, WHAT ARE THE DATES GOING TO BE THE 18TH AND THE 19TH? UM, I DON'T KNOW. 
          IT'S THE NIGHT. 
          YES. 
          THE CELEBRATION WILL BE HELD ON JUNE 18TH, 2022 AT ADAM MORGAN PARK FROM ONE TO SIX. 
          OKAY. 
          SO THAT'D BE THAT JUNE 18TH FROM ONE TO SIX. 
          UM, SO I'M LOOKING AT ME, LIKE I SAID, I'M ALREADY PLANNING TO VOLUNTEER. 
          I ALREADY SIGNED UP. 
          SO, UM, IT'S COMPLETELY UP TO INDIVIDUAL COMMISSION MEMBERS, UM, WHO AT BLACK FAMILIES HAVE HAD, I WAS PUTTING THE EVENT TOGETHER. 
          SO IT, IT MIGHT BE A GOOD, UM, OPPORTUNITIES SINCE I KNOW IT WASN'T MISS LAST YEAR, SO IT MIGHT BE COME FROM A GOOD PLACE OF GROWTH, UM, AND A GOOD OPPORTUNITY. 
          I DO PLAN TO BE THERE. 
          SO, UM, THOSE ARE MY THOUGHTS. 
          I HAVE THE CONTACT INFORMATION OR THE LADY, IF YOU WANT IT, I WILL NOT BE SAYING THIS RIGHT NOW WILL NOT BE ABLE TO BE THERE. 
          JUNE 19TH IS MY SON'S BIRTHDAY IN NORTH CAROLINA, AND I WILL BE THERE CELEBRATING WITH HIM THAT WEEKEND. 
          OKAY. 
          SO, UM, GETTING BACK TO WHAT YOU WERE SAYING, COMMISSIONER GONZALES ABOUT THE QR CODES. 
          I THINK THAT IS, I THINK THAT'S A GOOD THAT'S THAT THAT'S OUR BEST APPROACH. 
          I MEAN, IT SEEMS TO ME LIKE, 
          [01:10:01]
YOU KNOW, ARE ALREADY WELL IN CREATING, CREATING THE, THE IMAGERY ON LIKE THOSE SMALL PAPERS THAT WE HAD. 
          UM, SO CREATING, BUT USING THE BANNER IMAGE. 
          UM, I, YOU KNOW, I THINK WE PRINTED THOSE OUT, JUST ME AND MY WIFE FOR LIKE WHAT, LIKE PROBABLY 40, 50 BUCKS FOR ALL, FOR A STACK LIKE THAT. 
          I HAVE PROBABLY. 
          OKAY. 
          SO I MEAN, A STACK LIKE THAT, THAT'S NOT GOING TO BE TOO MUCH WHEN CHAR BANNER AND I CURE ARE CODED AND IT WOULDN'T DIRECTLY, SHE WEREN'T NEEDED. 
          SO I MEAN, EVEN IF WE, EVEN IF WE, YOU KNOW, HAD OUR BANNER IN THE BACKGROUND AND THEN IF WE HAD A COUPLE OF THOSE PAPERS THAT HAD OUR MISSION AND OUR VISION ON IT, I MEAN, IT'S NOTHING TO PRINT THOSE OUT AND THEN, YOU KNOW, WE COULD GIVE THOSE OUT AND WE KEPT THE LAMINATED ONE CENTER. 
          THAT CAN BE JUST, OKAY, SO THEN THERE YOU GO. 
          SO WE'LL HAVE A LAMINATED ONE THAT YOU COULD DO TO THE TABLE, AND THEN WE COULD CREATE, YOU KNOW, JUST A, JUST LIKE A PAPER VERSION OF IT. 
          AND, UM, YOU KNOW, I DON'T MIND COVERING THAT, BUT FOR THE SUNSET BLOCK PARTY, THIS WOULD BE FOR ANYTHING. 
          YEAH. 
          THIS WOULD BE FOR ANYTHING. 
          I'M STILL LOOKING AT THE TIMELINE BECAUSE MY BRAIN IS THAT SUMMER BRAIN. 
          SO IF I WANTED TO DO ANYTHING ELSE, I'M JUST LOOKING AT THE TIMELINE. 
          WELL, CHRISTY, DO WE HAVE DATES FOR THESE THREE ITEMS? AND COULD IT, COULD WE SPONSOR THEM? LIKE, IS THAT SOMETHING CITY STAFF WOULD WANT US TO SPONSOR? SO, UM, WE HAVE, IF WE'RE LOOKING AT THE NEXT THREE MONTHS, IS THAT CORRECT? YEAH. 
          OKAY. 
          SO THERE'S SEVERAL EVENTS MISSING FROM THIS LIST. 
          AND AGAIN, REACH OUT TO ME AS THE EVENTS COMMITTEE AND I'M HAPPY TO FURTHER DISCUSS ALL THOSE THINGS. 
          I ALSO WANTED TO MAKE CLEAR THAT, UM, THE SUNSET BLOCK PARTY BASH AND THE DADDY DAUGHTER HAWAIIAN NIGHT, UM, OUR CITY SPONSORED EVENTS. 
          UM, AND AS I'VE MENTIONED BEFORE, THE SUNSET BLOCK PARTY BASH OR ANY CITY SPONSORED EVENT THAT WE PUT ON, UM, WE WOULD LOVE TO HAVE THE COMMISSION PRESENT. 
          WE JUST NEED TO KNOW ABOUT IT. 
          SO THE BLOCK PARTY BASH IS NEXT FRIDAY. 
          AND I HAVE NOT HEARD ANYTHING FROM THE COMMISSION. 
          WE LUCKILY HAVE ROOM, OF COURSE. 
          UM, IF YOU GUYS WANT A BOOTH, BUT I, I NEED TO KNOW THAT INFORMATION. 
          UM, SO WE CAN MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE 27, CORRECT. 
          OKAY. 
          UM, YOU KNOW, AND IS A GOOD RULE OF THUMB, LIKE TWO WEEKS A MONTH. 
          UM, PREFERABLY AS SOON AS YOU KNOW ABOUT THE EVENT, IF WE COULD, AS SOON AS YOU KNOW, IT'S BETTER, OF COURSE, IF I JUST ASSUME THAT YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE A BOOTH AND THEN YOU, YOU DON'T COME OR YOU DON'T SHOW UP THEN THAT THAT COULD BE A PLACE FOR SOMEONE ELSE. 
          SO, UM, AS SOON AS, AS SOON AS YOU GUYS KNOW, THAT WOULD BE GREAT. 
          UM, SO THAT ONE IS MAY 27TH, WHICH IS NEXT FRIDAY. 
          AND, UM, JUST A BIT ABOUT THAT. 
          THE THEME IS, UM, SINCE MONDAY IS MEMORIAL DAY OBSERVED THAT WE'LL BE, UM, WE'LL HAVE LIVE MUSIC, FOOD TRUCKS, IT'S A FAMILY FRIENDLY EVENT AND WE'LL ALSO HAVE THE AMERICAN LEGION POST PROVIDE, UM, A REMEMBRANCE CEREMONY. 
          UM, IS THAT ON THE SIDE AT THE IT THAT YOU CORRECT? OKAY. 
          UM, AND THEN THE DADDY DAUGHTER HAWAIIANA THAT'S TO THE PARKS DEPARTMENT, BUT I'M HAPPY. 
          I'M SURE THAT THAT'S SOMETHING, IF YOU GUYS WANTED TO PARTICIPATE IN AS FAR AS ANYTHING, THAT'S NOT CITY SPONSORED. 
          SO THE FIRE DEPARTMENT IS NOT PART OF THE CITY, IT'S PART OF THE ESD. 
          SO I REALLY HAVE NO, UM, YOU KNOW, CONTROL OR SAY UNTIL, UNTIL WHAT THEY WOULD WANT TO PROVIDE, BUT I'M HAPPY TO PROVIDE A CONTACT IF THAT'S WHAT YOU WOULD WANT. 
          THE DADDY DANCE, UM, JUNE 18TH. 
          YES. 
          IT'S THE SAME DAY AS JUNETEENTH. 
          IT'S THE EVENING SEVEN TO NINE. 
          I WOULD LOVE TO GO TO ALL OF THIS, BUT I JUST GOT TO NOSE JUST THAT QUICKLY IS ANYONE ELSE ABLE TO ATTEND WITH ME? SO I DON'T GO BY MYSELF AND I HAD A FEW MORE EVENTS TO ADD IF YOU'D LIKE ME TO. 
          YES. 
          SO FOR OUR 4TH OF JULY CELEBRATION IS A VERY LARGE, UM, EVENT ON THE 4TH OF JULY. 
          AND THAT'LL BE AT BRUSHY CREEK AMPHITHEATER FROM LEAVE GATES OPEN AT FOUR 30 AND THEN A FOUR 30 TO NINE FIREWORKS WILL HAPPEN RIGHT AFTER NINE O'CLOCK. 
          UM, ANOTHER OPPORTUNITY WE HAVE, WE ARE PARTNERS WITH, UM, FOR COKE FEST AND IT'S A VERY LARGE SCALE. 
          IT BRINGS IN ABOUT 20,000 PEOPLE OR SO, SO IT'S A GREAT OPPORTUNITY. 
          WE DO HAVE TWO BOOTH SPACES AND WE SET UP KIND OF A TOURISM BOOTH, BUT I MEAN, THAT'S, I'M OPENING IF YOU GUYS WANT TO PARTICIPATE, LET ME KNOW. 
          AND I, HE DOESN'T WANT TO GO TO COKE FEST THOUGH. 
          RIGHT? SEE, YEAH. 
          OR EVEN IF IT'S, EVEN IF IT'S JUST DISTRIBUTING MATERIALS OR HAVING THE BANNER UP THOSE KINDS OF THINGS, BUT JUST, UM, AND THAT'S AUGUST 5TH AND SIX. 
          I APOLOGIZE. 
          I DIDN'T MENTION THE DATE ON THAT ONE. 
          UM, A COUPLE OF OTHER EVENTS THAT ARE TAKING PLACE THAT ARE NOT NECESSARILY CITY SPONSORED EVENTS, BUT I DO HAVE THE CONTACT INFORMATION AND THEY HAVE LET US KNOW THAT THEY ARE MORE THAN HAPPY TO PASS OUT FLYERS, OR IF YOU WANT A BOOTH OR A POP-UP SPACE AT THE FARMER'S MARKET, WHICH IS EVERY WEDNESDAY YEAR ROUND FROM THREE TO SEVEN DOWNTOWN. 
          AND THEN THE HUDDLE MARKET DAYS IS EVERY THIRD SATURDAY. 
          UM, SO IT'S JUST A MATTER OF, OF LETTING US 
          [01:15:01]
KNOW. 
          AND THAT'S THROUGH AUGUST, YOU SAID THE FARMER'S MARKET IS EVERY WEDNESDAY. 
          YES. 
          THREE TO SEVEN. 
          AND THEN THE SATURDAY IS WHAT TIME THE SATURDAY IS. 
          UH, THE HUDDLE MARKET DAYS IS FROM 9:00 AM TO 4:00 PM. 
          SO IT'S AN ALL DAY EVENT AND IT'S THE THIRD SATURDAY. 
          AND I KNOW WE CAN'T EMAIL EACH OTHER AND THAT'S BEEN MY BIGGEST ISSUE, LIKE AS FAR AS COMMUNICATING WITH EACH OTHER. 
          SO HOW WOULD WE DISCUSS THIS OTHER THAN HERE IN THIS FORUM RIGHT NOW? LIKE WHO CAN ATTEND? WHAT, BECAUSE I KNOW LIKE YOU, TWO LADIES CAN'T DO CERTAIN THINGS ON CERTAIN DAYS. 
          YEAH. 
          WELL, I THINK THAT, LIKE, I THINK THIS IS WHERE BEFORE. 
          WELL, YEAH, AND I THINK, AGAIN, I THINK AGAIN, JUST TO REVIEW, LIKE THIS WOULD BE WHERE YOU GUYS WOULD GET, YOU KNOW, EVEN IF YOU WANTED TO GET ONE OF THOSE BIG CALENDARS FROM WALMART, YOU KNOW, YOU GET THAT BIG CALENDAR, YOU BRING IT, YOU KNOW, AND WE TALK ABOUT, HEY, WE MET WITH CHRISTIE, HERE'S THE DATES OF THESE EVENTS WHO CAN BE THERE. 
          I THINK NOW THAT WE'VE HASHED OUT WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO AT THE EVENTS, WE CAN HAVE OUR BANNER, WE CAN, YOU KNOW, HEY, I NEED A, YOU KNOW, SOME OF THE PRINTOUTS, WE HAVE THE QR CODE ON LAMINATE AND WE CAN PUT THAT ON THE TABLE. 
          WE COULD PRINT OUT SOME OF THE, YOU KNOW, UH, OF OUR MISSION AND OUR VISION. 
          AND THAT COULD BE, YOU KNOW, THE BASELINE FOR WHAT YOU TALKED TO. 
          UM, SO NOW I THINK IT'S JUST GETTING THAT CALENDAR, GETTING WITH CHRISTY. 
          WHAT ARE THE THINGS THAT ARE COMING UP ONCE WE KNOW THEN, YOU KNOW, HERE'S THE DATE THAT IT'S GOING TO BE ON? CAN ANYONE ATTEND? IF NOT, WE, MAYBE WE SKIP THAT EVENT. 
          OR IF LIKE CHRISTIE SAID, YOU KNOW, WE HAVE PEOPLE THAT WANT TO HAND OUT STUFF. 
          THEY CAN HAND OUT THE FLYERS AND WE'RE GOOD TO GO. 
          UM, COUPLE OF THINGS WE NEED TO MOVE ON, LIKE RIGHT NOW, RIGHT? LOOK AT SUNSET, BLOCKING ALREADY. 
          WE'RE DOING THAT. 
          LIKE, I, I WILL BE IN PARIS AS YOU ALL KNOW, ONE MORE TIME. 
           I WILL BE IN LUGGAGE, PARISH, TEXAS, NOT PARENTS RIGHT NOW. 
          SHE PUT THE EMPHASIS ON FRIENDS. 
          OKAY. 
          SO SUNSET, YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO HAVE LIVES. 
          IT'S ON THE 27TH, RIGHT? 27TH OF MAY. 
          THE DADDY DAUGHTER HAWAIIAN NIGHT IS JUNE 19TH. 
          OKAY. 
          BRIAN, DON'T GIVE US ALL OF IT AT ONCE. 
          WHO CAN DO SUNSET? NO SCHOOL. 
          YIKES. 
          YEAH, THEY GET IS, ARE, Y'ALL DOING HALF DAYS. 
          I KNOW HOW TO DO IT. 
          CAUSE I CAN DO SUNSET. 
          IT SOUNDS FUN. 
          AND IT'S FUN. 
          IT'S FUN. 
          AND GLOW STICKS COMMISSIONER. 
          OH YEAH. 
          THAT WOULD BE, EVEN IF YOU JUST HAD THE GLOW STICKS, IF EVERYONE WHOEVER'S NOT ABLE TO BE THERE. 
          I DON'T KNOW IF ANYBODY ELSE IS. 
          I LOVE THE PARTY PARTY. 
          WHAT'S THE TIME PRICING TO MIDNIGHT, SIX TO NINE, SIX TO NINE. 
          AND I PROBABLY WOULDN'T EVEN NEED A TABLE OR ANYTHING. 
          NO, WE GOTTA HAVE THE TABLE FOR THE, ARE YOU GOING TO BE THERE PHONE NOW THE TABLE, WE GOTTA, WE GOTTA BE AT THE TABLE OR YOU WAIT. 
          I SAID, ARE YOU GOING TO BE THERE WITH FOLDING THE TABLE? OKAY. 
          AND THIS EVENT, YOU DON'T NEED A TENT BECAUSE WE HAVE THE PAVILION. 
          SO YOU REALLY COULD JUST BRING THE TABLE AND YOU'LL BE UNDER A PAVILION. 
          I'LL BE COMPLETELY A COMPETITION THAT WON'T BE THERE. 
          DANG IT. 
          YEAH. 
          THE 27TH FROM SIX TO NINE. 
          YOU'LL HAVE YOUR SHIRTS TOO. 
          I'LL BE IN MY CELL. 
          WE NEED A, I HAVE MY SHIRT. 
          WE NEED HOW MANY MORE SHIRTS WHEN MAYBE WE MIGHT NEED TO DO SOME ORDER COUNCIL MEMBER KINSEY. 
          I CAN BE THERE IN MY SHIRT. 
          WAIT, WAIT, HOW DO I GET A SHIRT? YEAH, WE GOT TO GET THEM SHIRT. 
          SORRY. 
          THAT WAS TOTALLY FLAT SHIRTS. 
          AN ISSUE WITH AVAILABILITY, BASICALLY CONTENDERS THE DESIGN AND THEN YOU CAN SEE AND JUST MAKE YOUR OWN SHIRT. 
          THAT'S BASICALLY WHAT I'M GONNA HAVE TO DO ANYWAY. 
          OKAY. 
          YOU'RE GOOD. 
          WE COULD USE LOCAL LOCAL. 
          WELL, I THINK, I, I THINK, UH, I THINK WE MAY BE ABLE TO GET SOMETHING THROUGH. 
          UM, WHAT'S HIS NAME? ANDREW? NO. 
          UM, THE OTHER GUY DREW IS HIS NAME ANDREW. 
          OH, I'M SORRY. 
          I DON'T KNOW HIM PERSONALLY. 
          SO I JUST DREW AN ANDREW. 
          YEAH. 
          MAYBE WE COULD, I COULD REACH OUT TO HIM AND SEE, YEAH. 
          I COULD REACH OUT TO HIM. 
          YEAH. 
          I COULD REACH OUT TO HIM AND SEE THAT'S HIS FACEBOOK. 
          SO THEN COUNCIL MEMBER KINSEY, IF YOU'RE GOING TO, IF YOU'RE GOING TO BE THERE ON THE 27TH, WOULD YOU MIND LIKE IF I WAS ABLE TO PROVIDE THE, THE, LIKE OUR MISSION AND VISION AND LIKE SOME LIKE NICE LITTLE SMALL GIVEAWAY, COULD YOU DO THAT WITH COUNCIL MEMBER? UH, OH WAIT. 
          OR DO YOU WANT TO HAVE HIM LIKE, LIKE POSTED LIKE THESE LITTLE 
          [01:20:01]
LIKE CLEAR PLACARDS THAT WOULD LIKE SIT ON THE, LIKE THE, UM, YOU COULD JUST READ IT, THEY COULD READ IT LIKE THE CITY COUNCIL I WAS GOING TO MAKE IT, CAN, WE ALL WEAR OUR QR CODE WHERE IT GOES TO, CAN THAT BE ON THE LANDING PAGE OF WHERE THAT QR CODE GOES TO? SO SOMEBODY CAN GO LIKE THIS, LIKE, OH NO, YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TO TALK WITH SOMEONE ON THE WEBSITE COMMITTEE. 
          WELL, BECAUSE IT LANDS THE QR CODE. 
          WHAT DOES IT LAND TO? IT CURRENTLY GOES TO OUR, TO OUR CITY PAGE AND ON OUR CITY PAGE IS WHERE A LINK TO THE LANDING PAGE IS GOING TO GO. 
          OKAY. 
          OKAY. 
          BECAUSE IF IT GOES, CAUSE IT'LL GO DIRECTLY TO, IT GOES DIRECTLY TO THE DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION PAGE, LIKE LANDING PAGE. 
          IT DOESN'T GO TO THE LINK TO THE THING. 
          LIKE YOU DON'T HAVE TO DO TWO CLICKS TO GET TO IT. 
          WHEN YOU DO THE QR CODE, IT GOES DIRECTLY TO THE DIVERSITY INCLUSION, OPENING PAGE. 
          IF THE MISSION STATEMENT IS RIGHT THERE, THE VERY FIRST THING THAT THEY OPEN TO INSTEAD OF LIKE, WHO ARE THE COMMISSIONERS AND ALL THAT KIND OF STUFF, YOU KNOW? I MEAN, CAN THEY DO THAT IN A WEEK THOUGH? CAN THEY, IT'S A DIGITAL THING, GRACIE. 
          IS THAT SOMETHING THAT COULD BE DONE? CAUSE I KNOW THAT WE, I KNOW THAT, UM, GO, I THINK IT, I THINK IT WAS ALISON THAT MADE A CHANGE DURING OUR MEETING, LIKE RIGHT THEN. 
          AND THERE, IS THAT SOMETHING THAT WE COULD HAVE THE MISSION AND THE VISION PUT ONTO OUR CITY PAGE? OR IS THAT SOMETHING THAT WE NEED TO GET WITH CITY COUNCIL FIRST AND GET APPROVED? WELL, I THINK WE WOULD START WITH ALISON. 
          YEAH. 
          OKAY. 
          SO, SO SHOULD I SEND THE EMAIL TO ALLISON TOMORROW AND ASK HER YOU CAN'T OR IF YOU WANT TO JUST SEND IT TO ME AND THEN I'M HAPPY TO OKAY, GREAT. 
          OKAY. 
          I'LL MAKE SURE. 
          AND IF WE CAN'T GET IT ON THE WEBPAGE, THEN WE CAN HAVE A SMALL LITTLE SNIPPET PRINTED OUT TO HAND OUT AND I CAN, I CAN, UM, WORK ON THAT FOR THE SUNSET ON THE 27TH. 
          DID WE HAVE ANY OTHER EVENTS IN MAY, UH, CALENDAR AND EVENTS? SO COMMITTEE, I DIDN'T HAVE ANYTHING IN MAY. 
          DID WE HAVE ANYTHING ELSE IN MAY? AREN'T WE IN MAY OR IT'S TECHNICALLY DON'T DO THAT. 
          OH, DON'T DO THAT. 
          I GOT SOME THINGS DO AT WORK. 
          I WAS LIKE, WHOA, WE'RE BEEN MADE. 
          SO I MEAN, THERE'S, THERE'S NOTHING, THERE'S NOTHING THAT WE HAVE GOING ON. 
          OKAY. 
          UM, SINCE WE ARE IN THE MAY MEETING, DO WE HAVE ANYTHING FOR JUNE THAT WE SHOULD PROBABLY PLAN OUT OR DISCUSS? IF I MAKE A CALL THERE'S THESE THREE THERE'S THESE THREE THINGS ABLE TO GO ON. 
          SO THE, IN JUNE WE'VE GOT JUNETEENTH POSSIBLE PLACE TO HAVE A BOOTH. 
          WE'VE GOT THE SUNSET PARTY AND THE DADDY DAUGHTER DANCE. 
          THOSE ARE ALL JUNIORS. 
          WELL, SUNSET PARTY IS SUNSET IS IN MAY, JUNE 10TH AND DADDY DAUGHTER BROKE DOWN THE WRONG DATE FOR THAT. 
          UM, UH, UM, CHRISTIE, DID YOU HAVE SOMETHING I JUST ALSO WANTED, UM, TO LET THE COMMISSION KNOW, UM, AS FAR AS JUNETEENTH, UH, WE, AS THE CITY HAVE A, A PRETTY BIG PIECE IN THAT, UM, OUR POLICE DEPARTMENT IS HEAVILY INVOLVED IN ACTUALLY OUR, UM, NEW CHIEF OF POLICE, CHIEF YARBROUGH WILL BE THE KEYNOTE SPEAKER. 
          UM, I'M ALSO SIGNED UP TO VOLUNTEER, UM, AND, UM, WE HAVE OTHER PIECES OF CITY THAT WE DO WORK WITH THEM TOGETHER AND IT USED TO BE HOSTED AT CITY HALL. 
          SO I JUST WANTED TO LET THE COMMISSION KNOW ABOUT THAT AS WELL. 
          SO YOU, SO YOU BEING THE CITY HAVE INVOLVEMENT IN BLACK FAMILY OF HUDDLES JUNETEENTH. 
          THE CITY OF HADOW IS A PARTNER FOR JUNETEENTH AS FAR AS PROVIDING, UM, POLICE PRESENCE AND SUPPORT FOR THE EVENT. 
          SO THEN DOES THE CITY OF HUTTOE HAVE A BOOTH AT JUNETEENTH? NO. 
          I MYSELF HAVE SIGNED UP TO VOLUNTEER AS MYSELF, NOT REPRESENTING THE CITY. 
          I'M JUST HEARING, UM, SIMILAR TO COMMISSIONER KINSEY. 
          UM, BUT WE DON'T HAVE LIKE, UH, WE DON'T HAVE A BOOTH. 
          NO. 
          OKAY. 
          OKAY. 
          SO H HOW WOULD YOU SEE, UH, OUR PRESENCE AT DOING BOOTS AT THE FESTIVAL, WHICH FESTIVAL JUNETEENTH? LIKE HOW, HOW DO YOU SEE THAT MANIFESTATION? LIKE, I, I, I MEAN, I'D LOVE TO HEAR OTHER COMMISSIONERS THOUGHTS ON THAT. 
          I, I DON'T 
          [01:25:01]
SEE CURIOUS, I KNOW LIKE THE CITY OF ROUND ROCK, THEY HOST THEIR OWN, UM, JUNETEENTH AT SOME POINT. 
          DO YOU GUYS EVER SEE HEDO HOSTING A JUNETEENTH CELEBRATION AS THE CITY OF HEAD-ON BLACK FAMILIES HAVE HAD A HOST NET? I MEAN, UM, JUST AS FAR AS THE CITY IS CONCERNED, WE PARTNER WITH DIFFERENT ORGANIZATIONS FOR DIFFERENT EVENTS AND DIFFERENT REASONS THEY ARE LEADING THIS EVENT AND IF THEY CONTINUE TO LEAD, IT WILL PROBABLY CONTINUE TO SUPPORT THAT EFFORT. 
          OKAY. 
          SO THEN, SO WE HAVE VOLUNTEERS FOR THE SUNSET BLOCK PARTY JUNETEENTH KIND OF UP IN THE AIR IS WHAT I'M UNDERSTANDING, UNLESS SOMEONE IS SAYING, OTHERWISE THE DADDY DAUGHTER HAWAIIAN NIGHT, THAT'S THROUGH THE PARKS DEPARTMENT. 
          AND SO NOT MOVING OFF JUNETEENTH, BUT JUST MOVING, YOU KNOW, TO THE NEXT, UH, EVENT, THE DADDY DAUGHTER HAWAIIAN NIGHT. 
          DO WE HAVE SOMEONE THAT WOULD WANT TO GET IN CONTACT WITH THE PARKS COMMISSION TO ASK IF WE COULD, SORRY. 
          I JUST WANNA MAKE A NOTE. 
          SO THE COMMISSION REALLY HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE EVENT. 
          IT'S THE STAFF AND HIS NAME'S JEFF, UM, THE STAFF, THE STAFF MEMBER, THIS IS A STAFF LED EVENT. 
          SO THE PARKS COMMISSION WOULDN'T HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH THIS. 
          SO THE PARKS DEPARTMENT IS DIFFERENT FROM THE PARKS COMMISSION, CORRECT. 
          OKAY. 
          UM, AND ALSO, I JUST WANTED TO NOTE THAT THIS EVENT THERE, THERE'S NOT NECESSARILY GOING TO BE LIKE BOOTHS, AND IT'S NOT LIKE A FESTIVAL, IT'S JUST KIND OF LIKE A GATHERING OF DADDIES AND DAUGHTERS. 
          UM, BUT I'M HAPPY TO SEND OVER JEFF'S CONTACT INFORMATION OR, I MEAN, WHATEVER YOU GUYS DECIDE TO DO, I CAN TRANSLATE THAT OVER TO HIM. 
          IT JUST SOUNDS TO ME LIKE, I MEAN, THERE'S GOING TO BE A BUNCH OF LITTLE GIRLS WITH THEIR DADS. 
          AND SO I DON'T, I DON'T KNOW WHAT OUR PLACE EXACTLY. 
          I DON'T THINK IT'S OUR BEST PLACE. 
          LET'S NOT WORRY ABOUT A DADDY DAUGHTER DANCE, SCRATCH THAT. 
          AND THEN, UM, IT LOOKS, YEAH, IT LOOKS LIKE THE ONLY THING ELSE, UNLESS CHRISTIE, WELL, I GUESS JULY 4TH, BUT WE CAN TALK ABOUT THAT IN JUNE IN THE JUNE MEETING, BUT CHRISTIE JULY 4TH, THAT'S SOMETHING THAT CITY SPONSORED, CORRECT? CORRECT. 
          OKAY. 
          LET ME DO THAT LAST YEAR. 
          Y'ALL DID WE DID NATIONAL NIGHT OUT IN ESSENCE, IT WILL BE ALMOST THE SAME TYPE OF FOOTPRINT, SAME LAYOUT, THAT KIND OF THING. 
          SO, UM, BUT WE WON'T HAVE AS MANY, UM, LIKE POP-UP BOOTS. 
          UM, SO IF YOU GUYS WANTED A SPOT, JUST LET ME KNOW BY THE NEXT MEETING AND I CAN CERTAINLY MAKE THAT HAPPEN. 
          OKAY. 
          SO NEXT MEETING, JUST, I GUESS SEE WHAT YOUR CALENDAR IS LOOKING LIKE FOR JULY 4TH AND LET US KNOW. 
          I ALREADY KNOW MY 4TH OF JULY SCHEDULE. 
          SO THEN MOVING BACK TO THE, THE SEVENTH ANNUAL HELLO FIREFIGHTERS, UM, GOLF TOURNAMENT THAT'S HAPPENING IN JUNE. 
          AND SO IS THERE SOMEONE THAT WANTS TO GET WITH THE FIREFIGHTERS AND I BELIEVE KRISTI, DID YOU SAY YOU HAD A CONTACT INFO FOR THAT PERSON? YES. 
          MY CONTACT AT THE FIRE DEPARTMENT FOR EVENTS, SPECIAL EVENTS AND THINGS IS, UM, MARIANNE BUCHANAN. 
          SO DO WE HAVE OUR, I GUESS CALENDAR AND EVENTS, SUBCOMMITTEE, I GUESS THAT'S FOR YOU GUYS TO DECIDE. 
          IS THAT SOMETHING THAT I'M JUST, UM, THAT IS SUCH A, WHAT'S IT IT'S, UH, IT'S, IT'S A V HOW EFFECTIVE WOULD OUR PRESENCE BE AT A GOLF TOURNAMENT? I THINK THE ONLY THING THAT PROBABLY WE COULD DO IS PUT OUR BANNER THERE. 
          I THINK JUST SO THAT WOULD BE GOOD. 
          THAT WOULD BE LIKE A BANNER PRESENCE BANNER. 
          I DON'T THINK WE NEED A BOOTH. 
          SO THINK THERE'LL BE PLAYING GOLF. 
          THEY WON'T REALLY BE, UH, HOW ABOUT IF WE COME UP WITH A BANNER PRESENCE WOULD BE A LEVEL ONE PRESENTATION, OR BEING THERE A BOOTH AND A BANNER WOULD BE NUMBER TWO, A LEVEL THREE WOULD BE BOOTH BANNER AND PEOPLE. 
          I THINK THAT'S SOMETHING I LIKE IT. 
          I THINK THIS IS A LEVEL ONE. 
          THIS IS A LEVEL ONE PROJECT. 
          THIS IS A LEVEL TWO PROJECT. 
          IT SOUNDS TO ME LIKE THERE'S A TOPIC FOR YOU IF WE'RE ONE OF YOUR GUYS'S MEETINGS RIGHT THERE FOR SUBCOMMITTEES MEETING. 
          ALRIGHT, GREAT. 
          SO, YEAH, SO I GUESS, UH, YOU CAN POTASSIUM RIGHT NOW. 
          I MEAN, EVERYTHING SOUNDS GREAT TO ME, SO I GUESS THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE WANT TO DO. 
          UM, AND THAT'S SOMETHING THAT, YOU KNOW, THE, THE SUBCOMMITTEE WANTS TO DO, UM, GET WITH THE CONTACT THAT CHRISTY HAS AND REACH OUT TO THEM. 
          I WOULD SAY AT THE VERY MINIMUM JUNETEENTH WOULD BE OUR LEVEL ONE PRESENTATION, JUST 
          [01:30:01]
BECAUSE IT WOULD JUST BE, LET'S PUT UP THE BANNER AND WE'LL TAKE IT DOWN AT THE END OF THE THING. 
          WELL, I MEAN, I'D LIKE TO HEAR THAT IDEA FLUSHED OUT A LITTLE BIT MORE. 
          SO, I MEAN, IF YOU GUYS COULD BRING THAT BACK NEXT MEETING AND LET US KNOW WHAT THOSE TIERS ARE, SO THAT WAY WE CAN SUPPORT YOU. 
          I THINK THAT'D BE GREAT BECAUSE RIGHT NOW WE'RE KIND OF SOLICITING HELP FROM COUNCIL MEMBER KINSEY. 
          OKAY. 
          SO AS POSSIBLE. 
          SO THEN LET'S PUT THAT AS AN, AS AN ITEM FOR NEXT MEETING, UM, GRACIE FOR THE CALENDAR AND EVENT SUBCOMMITTEE TO, UH, TALK TO US ABOUT THE DIFFERENT LEVELS OF SUPPORT FOR, UM, FOR DIFFERENT EVENTS. 
          I THINK THAT'D BE GREAT OR APPROPRIATE. 
          AND THEN, UM, CALENDAR AND EVENT SUBCOMMITTEE, IF YOU GUYS FEEL THAT IT IS, UM, IF YOU GUYS FEEL WE SHOULD HAVE A BANNER AT THE GOLF TOURNAMENT, UM, REACH OUT TO THE GREAT, UM, AND I THINK WE ALL CAN BE AT THE COKE FIST, RIGHT? HOW'S THIS WHAT, AUGUST 5TH AND SIXTH, I'M ACTUALLY IN DETROIT, YOU NEED TO STOP, YOU NEED TO STOP TRAVELING. 
          FIRST THING ALWAYS SEE MA'AM WELL THEN, BUT I MEAN, WE HAVE JULY TO TALK ABOUT AUGUST, SEPTEMBER, OCTOBER, SO THAT'LL BE GOOD. 
          WE'LL JUST ROLL THE MONTHS AS THEY GO. 
          OKAY. 
          SO THEN AGAIN, FOR THE SUNSET BLOCK PARTY BASH, WE HAVE, UM, COMMISSIONER SPOONS AND COUNCIL MEMBER KINSEY THAT WILL BE THERE. 
          UM, AND WE WILL ALSO HAVE OUR BANNER THERE AND BE ABLE TO HAVE, UM, OUR QR CODE, UM, PRESENT THERE AS WELL. 
          AND THANK YOU, COMMISSIONER SPOONS IN COUNCIL MEMBER KINSEY FOR VOLUNTEERING IN THE RIGHT LEVEL THREE. 
          UM, THE ONLY OTHER ITEM THAT WE HAD IN 8.2 WAS TO TALK ABOUT THE PRIDE PROCLAMATION. 
          UM, AS FAR AS I KNOW, WE DON'T HAVE A PROCLAMATION FOR PRIDE MONTH. 
          I THINK THIS IS GOING TO BE SOMETHING THAT IS GOING TO BE ONE OF THE FIRST ITEMS TO TACKLE WITH THE WEBSITE COMMITTEE IS GETTING OUR PROCLAMATIONS UP FRONT AND CENTER ON OUR WEBSITE. 
          SO THAT WAY WE A KNOW WHICH ONES WE HAVE AND B UM, CITIZENS CAN, YOU KNOW, SEE WHERE THE CITY OF HADOW FALLS ON, ON, ON DIFFERENT, UH, ISSUES. 
          UM, AND SO I THINK, UH, IT WOULD BE APPROPRIATE TO HAVE A PRIDE MONTH PROCLAMATION. 
          UM, I KNOW THAT COMMISSIONER CHIN WROTE OUR LAST FEW. 
          AND SO IF, UH, YOU KNOW, WE HAVE SOMEONE ELSE THAT WOULD LIKE TO, OR COMMISSIONER CHEN, IF YOU'D LIKE TO, I AM HAPPY TO WRITE IT. 
          I ASSUMED WHAT IT WAS ON THE AGENDA THAT YOU WERE GOING TO ASK ME, GO FRIDAY, WILL YOU BE IN CARE? COULD YOU PLEASE EMAIL US FROM PARIS, FROM PARIS, TAKE YOUR COMPANY, PLEASE TAKE YOUR COMPUTER. 
          SO THAT WOULD NEED TO, WHEN WOULD IT NEED TO BE DONE THOUGH? WE'D NEED TO VOTE ON IT AT THE NEXT MEETING, RIGHT? THE NEXT MEETING IS PRIDE MONTH IS AS JUNE. 
          IT IS THE WHOLE MONTH OF JUNE. 
          AND WHEN IS OUR NEXT MEETING? SO OUR NEXT MEETING 21ST OF JUNE IS OUR NEXT ONE. 
          SO WE'RE JUST LIKE SKATING TOWARDS THE END OF THE MONTH, BUT THAT'S OKAY. 
          AND FOR NOTE, THERE IS NO MORE, SO CITY COUNCIL THAT MONTH IS THE SECOND AND 16TH. 
          SO YOUR MEETING WILL HAPPEN AFTER CAN WE HAVE OUR MEETINGS SOONER? I MEAN, WE HAVE, WE CAN, WE WOULD JUST NEED TO, WE CAN HAVE OUR MEETING SOONER IN JUNE. 
          WE JUST NEED TO AGREE AND YOU DEFINITELY GET I'LL DO THE PROCLAMATION LIKE WE HAVE A WEEK. 
          WELL, WE CAN AGREE. 
          WE JUST NEED TO PICK A DATE THAT WORKS FOR ALL OF US, AND WE NEED TO GET WITH GRACIE AND SEE IF ANY ROOMS WILL BE AVAILABLE. 
          SO IS THERE A DATE? UM, EITHER I THINK COMMISSIONER KINSEY, YOU SAID, OR COUNCIL MEMBER KINSEY. 
          YOU SAID THAT, UM, WE HAVE CITY COUNCIL MEETINGS ON THE SECOND AND 16TH AND SECOND SPECIAL CALLED ON A NINE. 
          WELL, WE DON'T WANT TO GET ON THE SPECIAL COD. 
          YEAH, NO, I'M JUST THINKING OUT LOUD. 
          OKAY. 
          SO THEN DO WE HAVE AVAILABILITY FOR JUNE THE WEEK OF JUNE THE SIXTH? OR WHAT ABOUT MAY 31ST? I SEE, I CAN TELL YOU, I CAN NOT BE THERE MAY 31ST BECAUSE, AND I DON'T WANT TO SAY IT, BUT I WILL BE IN PARIS AGAIN. 
          LET ME GUESS YOU'LL BE IN PARIS. 
          I'M COMING BACK TO 31ST, GET IT READY FOR US FOR THEM. 
          AND THEN WE CAN JUST VOTE ON IT. 
          YOU KNOW, I KNOW YOU GUYS ARE ALL GOING TO HATE ME. 
          THAT'S TRUE. 
          I DON'T, THAT'S A GOOD POINT. 
          WE VOTE ON IT. 
          WELL, I'D LIKE FOR YOU TO BE THERE, COMMISSIONER CHINS SINCE YOU'RE WRITING IT. 
          I MEAN, JUST TO WRITE IT, NOT TO WRITE IT AND PRESENT IT AND VOTE ON IT TO BE PRESENTED. 
          IT'S NOT HERE. 
          IT'S JUST US MEETING. 
          WON'T BE THE COUNCIL MEETING FOR 
          [01:35:01]
HER. 
          SHE'S COMING BACK ON THE 31ST, CORRECT? I AM I'M SO THEY'RE MEETING, UM, ON THE SECOND AND ON THE 16TH. 
          YES, THE WEEK OF THE SIXTH. 
          I MEAN, THAT COULD END, THAT GIVES US A LITTLE BIT MORE TIME TO GET ACTION ITEMS. CAUSE WE ALSO HAVE TO ADOPT IT, UM, PRESENT, UH, I MEAN, IF IT'S READY TO BE ADOPTED AND WE ALL LOVE IT AND IT'S ALL FABULOUS. 
          WELL, AND, AND, AND COMMISSIONER CHEN CAN SEND REVISIONS TO GRACIE AND GRACIE CAN SEND IT OUT TO THE COMMISSION. 
          I MEAN, HERE'S, I MEAN, THERE'S TWO OPTIONS TO ME. 
          I CAN WORK ON THIS TODAY'S TUESDAY. 
          I CAN PROBABLY HAVE THIS DONE BY MONDAY. 
          CAUSE I CAN WORK ON IT OVER THE WEEKEND. 
          YOU ALL, I'LL SEND IT TO GRACIE. 
          WON'T SEND IT TO YOU. 
          DON'T WORRY. 
          CAUSE I DON'T WANT TO VIOLATE OPEN MEETINGS, BUT WE'LL SEND IT TO GRACIE. 
          GRACIE. 
          WE'LL SEND IT TO YOU SO YOU CAN REVIEW IT. 
          I MEAN, IT'S FINE WITH ME IF YOU WANT TO MEET ON THE 31ST SO THAT WE COULD HAVE IT ON THE SECOND COUNCIL MEETING. 
          THE ONLY REASON I PREFER NOT TO MEET ON THE 31ST IS I FEEL LIKE THERE'S ACTION ITEMS THAT WE NEED TO GET. 
          WE WON'T BE READY FOR IT. 
          YEAH. 
          THAT WOULD NEED TO GET MOVING. 
          IT'S NOT, I DON'T THINK IT'S A BIG DEAL. 
          IF WE, IF THE CITY COUNCIL DOESN'T DO THE PROCLAMATION TILL THE 16TH, IT'S NOT PERFECT, BUT WE'VE, IT'S SORT OF OUR TREND WITH MONTHS IS SO AGREED. 
          AND I MEAN, YOU KNOW, THE THING IS ONCE THEY'RE ON THE WEBSITE, IT WON'T REALLY MATTER THAT WE WERE A LITTLE BEHIND. 
          I AGREE. 
          I DON'T THINK WE HAVE TO HAVE IT FOR THE SECOND. 
          SO THEN DO WE HAVE AVAILABILITY ON THE SIXTH, THE WEEK OF THE SIXTH? BECAUSE I CAN DO ANY DAY THAT WEEK, UH, CHAIRMAN, IF I MAY, UM, IF, IS THIS GOING TO BE IN LIEU OF THE REGULARLY SCHEDULED MEETING OR IS THIS GOING TO BE A SPECIAL CALLED MEETING? BECAUSE YOU ALSO HAVE THE OPTION OF DOING A SPECIAL CALLED MEETING AS LONG AS WE POST 72 HOURS IN ADVANCE. 
          SO THEN WE DON'T HAVE TO HAVE EVERYTHING THAT WE WANT ON THE BACK. 
          IT CAN BE THE ONLY THING THAT WE WANT TO MEET TWICE OR DO WE WANT TO MAKE NO PROBLEM WITH MEETING TWICE? IF THAT'S THE ONLY THING WE'RE MEETING FOR AND WE'RE NOT HERE, THAT'D BE SUPER QUICK. 
          YEAH, THAT'D BE SUPER QUICK. 
          AND I THINK THAT'S WHAT ANA WAS. 
          I MEAN, I THINK THAT, I THINK, I THINK THAT'S UP TO THE COMMISSIONERS. 
          DO YOU GUYS WANT TO HAVE A SPECIAL CALLED MEETING ON THE SIXTH JUST FOR THE PROCLAMATION OR WOULD WE WANT TO HAVE OUR REGULARLY SCHEDULED MEETING ON THE WEEK OF THE SIXTH? WHAT ARE WE DOING ON THIS SIXTH? WE'RE MEETING ON A SIXTH TO VOTE ON A PROCLAMATION, HOLD ON, APPROXIMATE IN ORDER FOR IT TO GO TO CITY SO WE CAN HAVE THE PRIDE OF PROCLAMATION FOR THE MONTH. 
          OKAY. 
          WHERE THE 16TH CAUSE THE CITY COUNCIL MEETING IS THE 16TH AND THEY NEED TO PUT IT ON THEIR AGENDA 72 HOURS AHEAD. 
          SO WE'RE DOING THE PRI PROCLAMATION IN THE MIDDLE OF THE W YEAH. 
          OKAY. 
          SO WE'LL, WE'LL START MAKING CONFUSED. 
          SO CAUSE WE THREW A WHOLE BUNCH OF CURVE BALLS OUT THERE. 
          SO WHAT INITIALLY, WHAT ANA WANTED TO DO FOR US TO MEET ON THE 31ST, THAT WAY WE COULD HAVE IT ON THE EARLIER MEETING FOR THE BEGINNING OF THE MONTH, WHICH THAT'S WHAT I WANTED TO DO ALSO. 
          BUT W BRIAN SAID THAT HE KIND OF, I GUESS DIDN'T WANT TO RUSH EVERYTHING ONTO THE, UM, FOR THE OTHER AGENDA ITEMS. CORRECT? I DON'T WANT TO PUT WORDS IN YOUR MOUTH, BUT WE CAME BACK AND SAID, IS THAT NO, WE CAN PUT JUST THAT ONE ITEM ON THERE. 
          UM, AND THEN WE CAN VOTE ON THAT AND THEN PUT IT ON THEIR MEETING ON WHAT THEY, THE SIX 16TH, ONE 16TH, YOUR MEETING ON THE SECOND SPECIAL MEETING. 
          THE WHY NOT JUST THE SPECIAL MEETING ON THE 31ST. 
          RIGHT? THAT'S WHAT WE WANT TO DO. 
          THE SPECIAL MEETING. 
          UM, IT HAS TO BE POSTED 72 HOURS AHEAD OF TIME. 
          AND THE 31ST WOULD NOT GIVE APPROPRIATE POSTING TIME FOR THE MEETING IN THE SECOND. 
          OKAY. 
          OH, I SEE. 
          OKAY. 
          THAT'S THE PROBLEM. 
          SO THE WEEK OF THE SIXTH. 
          OKAY, SO THAT'S THE WEEKEND SIX. 
          SO WE WOULD NOT HAVE ENOUGH TIME IF WE DO THAT. 
          AND LACEY, YOU ARE RIGHT THAT WE ARE BEHIND WITH THE PROCLAMATION, BUT WE'RE TRYING TO GET CAUGHT UP AND WE PROMISE NEVER TO DO THAT AGAIN. 
          SO I THINK WHAT I WAS CIRCLING TO WAS WE'RE DOING THE PRIDE PROCLAMATION, BUT WE'RE NOT DOING SOMETHING FOR JUNETEENTH AND THAT SAME SPIRIT. 
          WE HAVE A PROCLAMATION ALREADY FOR JUNE. 
          WE ALREADY MET. 
          THAT'S GOING TO BE THAT'S. 
          THAT'S ANOTHER THING FOR YOU. 
          COMMISSIONER WALKER. 
          YOU GUYS GOT TO GET THE PROCLAMATIONS THAT WE HAVE WHEN ALREADY, BECAUSE THERE'S ONE FROM LAST YEAR THAT WE DID THAT WE DID THAT LAST YEAR. 
          [01:40:03]
NO PROBLEM. 
          OH YEAH. 
          SO THEN, UH, THE WEEK OF THE SIXTH ON THE SEVENTH, GRACIE, IS THERE AVAILABILITY IN ONE OF THE ROOMS TO JUST SHOW UP, VOTE ON THE PROCLAMATION AND LEAF? YES. 
          I'M SURE I'M CONFIDENT WE CAN EITHER SECURE THE CHAMBERS OR EVEN THE EXECUTIVE ROOM UPSTAIRS. 
          OKAY. 
          OKAY. 
          SO THEN, UM, SO THEN, UM, COMMISSIONERS, ARE WE OKAY TO MEET GRACIE? IS THERE A TIME THAT WORKS BETTER FOR CITY STAFF? COULD WE DO IT, YOU KNOW, RIGHT AT FIVE IT'S ENTIRELY UP TO YOU GUYS. 
          I'LL BE HERE. 
          OKAY. 
          I WILL NOT BE HERE AT FIVE TO EVERYONE. 
          OKAY. 
          WITH THAT TIME, LET ME, I WORK A FULL-TIME JOB. 
          I CAN'T BE HERE AT, BUT I DON'T MATTER JUST SAYING I DO NOT MATTER. 
          YOU GUYS ARE THE ONES THAT MATTER IS THIS. 
          THIS IS THE SEVENTH TUESDAY. 
          CAN, CAN, CAN WE ALL BE HERE AT SEVEN? YES. 
          I CAN BE HERE AT FIVE, FIVE. 
          O'CLOCK ON TUESDAY. 
          THE SAME. 
          IT CANNOT BE HERE AT FIVE IT'S OKAY. 
          IF YOU CANNOT, WE CAN DO IT'S JUST MAJORITY. 
          WE JUST NEED, WE JUST NEED FOUR SO I CAN BE HERE AT FIVE. 
          I CAN BE HERE. 
          HOLD ON. 
          I'M CHECKING MY SALONS. 
          OKAY. 
          SO WE HAVE TWO, WE HAVE THREE THAT CAN BE HERE AT FIVE, BUT WE NEED MORE. 
          WE NEED ONE MORE SIMPLY BE HERE. 
          THAT'D BE LIKE FIVE 30 FOR ME. 
          IT'D BE FIVE 30 FOR YOU. 
          OKAY. 
          I DO NOT LIKE BEING LIKE, I THINK I'M GOOD. 
          YOU CAN DO WHATEVER I COULD BE HERE AT SIX 30, BUT I CANNOT BE HERE AT, BY YES. 
          AND IT WOULD ONLY BE PROBABLY FIVE, 10 MINUTES. 
          OKAY. 
          SO WE HAVE, I COULD BE HERE IF MY ASSOCIATE, I CAN JUST TALK TO MY ASSOCIATES, CONTINUE WORKING FOR ME. 
          I CAN RUN DOWN HERE BOAT AND THEN GO BACK. 
          OKAY. 
          SO WE'RE DOING THIS AT FIVE. 
          WE HAVE, SO WE HAVE A SPECIALLY CALLED MEETING ON TUESDAY, JUNE 7TH AT 5:00 PM. 
          AND GRACIE, WILL YOU BE ABLE TO SEND OUT COMMUNICATION ON WHERE EXACTLY IT'LL BE. 
          OKAY. 
          AND JUST FOR, UM, FOR, JUST TO CLEAR THE RECORD, IT'S GOING TO BE FOR THE SINGLE AGENDA ITEM, CORRECT? THE PRIDE MONTH PROCLAMATION. 
          YES. 
          OKAY. 
          AND ON 8.2, I HAVE ONE MORE THING. 
          UM, I THINK IT WOULD BE A MISS FOR US NOT TO AT LEAST TRY TO GO TO JUNETEENTH. 
          SO AS A COMMISSION. 
          SO I THINK, I DON'T KNOW IF CHRISTIE, SINCE CITY KIND OF HAS A HAND AND A PARTNER IN THAT. 
          UM, IF WE CAN KIND OF REACH OUT AS THE CITY ON THE BEHALF OF DNI OR WE WOULD THE CITY BE OKAY WITH DOING THAT OR WOULD IT NEED TO COME DIRECTLY FROM LIKE THE CHAIRMAN? BECAUSE IT'S NOT A CITY SPONSORED EVENT. 
          I THINK IT WOULD BE MORE APPROPRIATE TO HAVE THAT DIRECT HOW THE COMMISSION REACHED OUT DIRECTLY TO, UM, BLACK FAMILIES OF HUDDLE. 
          BUT OF COURSE, UM, I MEAN, I'M HAPPY TO GET YOU TO THE RIGHT POINT PERSON IF YOU DON'T HAVE THAT INFORMATION. 
          UM, BUT I THINK IT, IT SHOULD COME FROM THE COMMISSION. 
          I AGREE. 
          I WOULD MUCH RATHER TRY AND BE TOLD NO THAN NOT MAKE AN EFFORT. 
          YES. 
          I MEAN, I FEEL LIKE THAT'S A CALENDAR AND EVENTS OF COMMITTEE. 
          OH, SORRY. 
          I SAW WHAT YOU DID. 
          I SEE YOUR SIDE. 
          UM, THE REGULARLY SCHEDULED DNI MEETING FOR JUNE IS JUNE 20TH. 
          SO YOU WOULD MISS JUNETEENTH WHAT'S NEEDED. 
          I'M SORRY, LIKE, UH, JUST IF THEY WANTED THE EVENTS OR PLANNING PEOPLE TO COME BACK OR HAVE ANY INFORMATION ABOUT IT THAT WE NEED TO DISCUSS MEETING. 
          YES. 
          THE MEETING WOULD HAVE, I MEAN, WE WOULD HAVE MISSED IT. 
          WE WOULD HAVE MISSED JUNETEENTH. 
          WE CAN HAVE OUR MEETING THERE JUST GO AS A WHOLE WHOLE UNIT. 
          I MEAN, I'M, I'M DOWN FOR WHATEVER. 
          I THINK THAT WOULD BE GOOD. 
          I THINK IT WOULD BE GOOD TO LEAST ASK AND THEN IT WOULD BE ON THERE. 
          AND IF THEY WANTED TO ACCEPT OR NOT WOULD THIS TO BE, TO HELP OR 
          [01:45:01]
TO HAVE A, A BOOTH UPPER LEVEL, SOMETHING CAME OUT, THEY WERE LOOKING FOR SPONSORS OR SOMETHING. 
          ARE THEY LOOKING FOR DONATIONS, MONETARY OR SOMETHING. 
          SO THAT'S WHY I'M ASKING BASED ON THE SPONSORSHIP LETTER THAT I JUST SEE ARE JUST LOOKED AT. 
          I DON'T THINK WE'RE ALLOWED TO SPONSOR ANYTHING CAUSE OF ANY PURPOSES, BUT I THINK JUST BEING THERE PRESENCE. 
          YEAH. 
          I MEAN, I MEAN, I MEAN, I'M GOING TO BE THERE ANYWAYS. 
          SO DO, DOES DOES THE CALENDAR AND EVENTS, SO THE COMMITTEE FEEL LIKE WOULD YOU GUYS WANT TO REACH OUT, WOULD YOU WANT ME TO REACH OUT? I THINK ITS CHAIRMAN, CHAIRMAN THE FOOTBALL, RIGHT. 
          I'M TRYING TO THROW A LITTLE WHILE BACK. 
          UM, YEAH, I CAN REACH OUT AND SEE IF THERE'S AN OPPORTUNITY AND THEN I CAN GET WITH GRACIE AND GRACE AND SEND OUT THAT COMMUNICATION. 
          I HAVE THE CONTACT, HER NAME WAS JANET HORACE IS PUTTING TOGETHER LIKE THE SIGNUP GENIUS AND EVERYTHING. 
          SO. 
          OKAY. 
          YEAH. 
          IF YOU WANT TO SEND THAT TO ME AND CC, UH, COMMISSIONER GONZALES AND COMMISSIONER SPOONS, THAT'D BE GREAT. 
          AND THEN I GUESS, YOU KNOW, BASED ON WHAT IS SAID, THEN WE CAN COMMUNICATE WITH YOU GRACIE AND YOU CAN PUSH THAT OUT TO THE COMMISSION AND SEE IF THERE'S ANY CALL FOR VOLUNTEERS TO BE AT THE EVENT. 
          AND, UM, WE CAN HAVE OUR BANNER THERE AND YOU KNOW, IF ANYTHING, I THINK IT COULD JUST BE LIKE A LEVEL ONE, JUST HAVE THE BANNER. 
          AND THEN IF YOU GUYS WANT TO JUST VOLUNTEER AND THROUGH THE SIZE THAT'LL DO WITH THE HOURS OF JUNETEENTH ARE, UM, I BELIEVE IT, IT SAYS ONE TO SIX, ONE TO SIX. 
          I MEAN, YES. 
          IT LOOKS LIKE I WILL BE THERE EARLY. 
          I THINK I'M A PART OF LIKE HELPING THE SIGN UP AND LIKE THE PARADE. 
          YEAH, THERE'S THE MARCH. 
          I MEAN, I CAN DO SOMETHING EARLY. 
          I AM JUST AT PFLUGERVILLE PRIDE FROM THREE TO FIVE. 
          I'M ALREADY VOLUNTEERING DOING SOMETHING WITH THEM BECAUSE I DIDN'T. 
          OH, GREAT. 
          CAN YOU FIND OUT HOW THEY'RE PUTTING THAT TOGETHER? CAUSE I THINK THAT'D BE A GREAT CONVERSATION I'D LIKE TO HAVE WITH, YOU KNOW, I DO TOO. 
          LIKE WE HAVE THOSE, THE ONLY ONE WHO DOESN'T HAVE A PRIDE NOW I KNOW THAT THE TAYLOR PRIDE, THE TATER PRIDE ONE IS PUT ON BY BUSINESSES. 
          IT IS. 
          I MEAN, ALL THESE ARE, NONE OF THEM HEARD THEM BY THE CITY PFLUGERVILLE, JUST PUT ON BY VOLUNTEERS AND UM, TAYLOR'S PUT ABOUT ROUND ROCK. 
          YEAH. 
          YEAH. 
          WE'RE GETTING OFF OF, UH, OFF OF THE AGENDA HERE. 
          OKAY. 
          SO THEN, UM, IF THERE'S NO MORE DISCUSSION ON 8.2, WE CAN MOVE TO ITEM 8.3 DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE ACTION RELATED TO THE TRAINING SUBCOMMITTEE. 
          UM, IN THIS ITEM, WE CAN TALK ABOUT POTENTIAL PAID TRAINING OPTIONS AS WELL AS THE SELECTION OF THE NEXT FREE TRAINING COURSE. 
          UM, SO IN THIS ITEM, UM, COMMISSIONER KINSEY OR COUNCIL MEMBER KINSEY ALREADY BROUGHT UP THE, UM, THE DOLLAR AMOUNT FOR THE POTENTIAL PAID TRAINING OPTIONS. 
          AND WHAT WE HAD TALKED ABOUT IN OUR LAST MEETING, IF YOU REMEMBER, WAS COMING TO THIS MEETING WITH POTENTIAL, UM, OPTIONS FOR PAID TRAINING AND JUST WANTED TO KNOW, DID ANYONE HAVE ANY, UH, PAID TRAINING OPTIONS THAT THEY'D LIKE TO PRESENT? I KNOW I HAD ONE, UM, AND I CAN GO AHEAD AND SHARE THAT FIRST. 
          UM, IT WAS WITH A COMPANY CALLED HRDQ. 
          UM, THEY OFFER DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION, UM, TRAINING, UM, AND THEIR TRAINING IS FOCUSED ON, IT'S AN INTERACTIVE TRAINING. 
          IT'S FOCUSED ON FOSTERING, BOTH COOPERATION AND TEAM BUILDING AROUND DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION. 
          UM, THE TRAINING STARTS AT $999. 
          UM, AND IT PUTS THE COST OF TEACHING 25 PEOPLE. 
          UM, WHETHER THAT IS STAFF, UM, OUR COMMISSION AND THEN SOME CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS, BUT 25 PEOPLE AT JUST UNDER $40 EACH. 
          UM, THE TRAINING, UM, COMES WITH A CERTIFICATE OF COMPLETION. 
          UM, AND THIS COMPANY HAS BEEN COACHING AND TRAINING SINCE 1977. 
          UM, SO I FEEL LIKE THEY, THEY HAVE A, YOU KNOW, A WIDE RANGE OF DIFFERENT TOPICS, UM, INCLUDING ACCOUNTABILITY, COACHING LEADERSHIP, DECISION-MAKING, UM, PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT. 
          UM, THEY ARE HEADQUARTERED IN PENNSYLVANIA. 
          UM, I JUST THOUGHT THIS WOULD BE A PRETTY GOOD OPTION. 
          I'VE SEEN, YOU KNOW, A LOT OF, UM, WEBSITES THAT TALK ABOUT HOW GOOD THESE TRAIN THAT TRAINING FROM HRDQ 
          [01:50:01]
IS. 
          UM, BUT LIKE I SAID, IT'S JUST AN OPTION AND I THOUGHT, YOU KNOW, FOR $999, 25 EMPLOYEES OR PEOPLE, UM, I THOUGHT THAT WOULD FIT UNDER THAT, THAT BUDGET THAT WE HAVE. 
          BUT THAT WAS JUST SOMETHING THAT, YOU KNOW, I I'D THROW OUT THERE. 
          I PERSONALLY THINK THAT SOUNDS GOOD. 
          I, I, THE ONLY ONE I WAS, I GOT A LOT OF LEADS ON ONES, BUT NOT WITH ANY MONEY ATTACHED TO IT OR WITH MUCH, MUCH, MUCH MORE MONEY THAN WE'RE LOOKING AT. 
          SO, I MEAN, I, I DON'T KNOW IF YOU NEED EMOTION, BUT THAT SEEMS LIKE IT SOUNDS REALLY GOOD. 
          AND THE PRICE IS IN THE BALLPARK. 
          I MEAN, THAT WAS THE BIGGEST THING. 
          THAT WAS THE BIGGEST THEY WERE, I MEAN, SOME OF THEM WERE LIKE $40,000. 
          THAT'S CRAZY. 
          RIGHT. 
          THAT'S GREAT. 
          WE CAN'T DO THAT. 
          I ALSO FOUND ONE ON, ON CORNELL. 
          UM, BUT THAT WAS OUT OF OUR PRICE RANGE. 
          THAT WAS ABOUT $3,000. 
          AND SO I DIDN'T, BUT THEY, THEY SEEMED VERY CREDIBLE. 
          IT'S JUST THE PRICE RANGE. 
          OH, YOU DIDN'T OKAY. 
          WANDA DOES ONE AS WELL, BUT IT'S A FREE ONE. 
          IT'S LIKE YOU PAY $99 TO GET THE CERTIFICATE OR SOMETHING. 
          AFTER THAT THEY WERE DOING A FREE ONE. 
          LIKE YOU SIGNED UP, IT'S LIKE 40 OTHER, SOME OF THE ONES WE'RE DOING RIGHT NOW, THE FREE ONES. 
          WHAT'S ALL FLORIDA. 
          UM, W DID, DID, DID THE FREE RUN OUT LIKE DID, WAS THERE A TIME IF A KID IS WHAT COSTS? YEAH. 
          IT'S LIKE $99 CERTIFICATE. 
          IT'S LIKE, UM, WHAT'D THEY SAY FEATURE 40 TEDX STYLE SESSION, 10 TO 30 MINUTES FROM 50 PLUS EXPERTS. 
          UM, IT'S LIKE EIGHT SECTIONS. 
          IT COVERS DIFFERENT THINGS, BUT THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE PAYING FOR. 
          SO IT'S EIGHT SECTIONS AND THE SECTIONS WERE, WHAT, 10 MINUTES. 
          IS THAT WHAT YOU SAID? UM, IT VARIES. 
          YEAH. 
          LIKE IT'S, UM, A LOT OF BUSINESS LEADERS AND CEOS AND STUFF OF COMPANIES AND STUFF. 
          AND IT WAS LIKE I SAID, IT WAS FREE, BUT IN ORDER TO GET YOUR CERTIFICATE FOR COMPLAINING. 
          YEAH. 
          I THINK WE DEFINITELY, IF WE DID THAT, WE WOULD DEFINITELY PAY TO GET, BECAUSE WE DO HAVE THE FUNDS. 
          UM, I JUST WONDER, LIKE, DID IT, DOES, I GUESS YOU WOULDN'T KNOW UNTIL YOU ACTUALLY SIGNED UP FOR THE COURSE, BUT DOES IT HAVE LIKE A SCHEDULE OR IS IT SELF PACED, SELF PACE? A LOT OF THE LEADERSHIP BASICS, COMMUNICATION, CONFLICT MANAGEMENT, ETHICAL LEADERSHIP, DECISION-MAKING DIVERSITY, EQUITY AND INCLUSION, INNOVATION, WORK, FAMILY, LIFE BALANCE, AND SELF DEVELOPMENT. 
          AND THEY DO LIKE SEVERAL DIFFERENT ONES. 
          YEAH. 
          A LOT OF THE ONES THAT WE TOOK, I PAID FOR THIS CERTIFICATE INSTEAD OF JUST TAKING THE FREE COURSE. 
          AND YOU JUST GET THE, YOU GET THE CERTIFICATE IF YOU PAY FOR IT. 
          WHEN SOME OF THEM WERE LIKE 49, SOME OF THEM WERE 60 OR JUST PAY FOR THE CERTIFICATE. 
          IS THAT SOMETHING THAT WE FEEL LIKE WE'D WANT TO DO, LIKE PAY, PAY, DO SOMETHING FREE AND THEN PAY FOR THE CERTIFICATE? OR WOULD WE WANT TO JUST USE UP THE FUNDS TO PAY FOR A TRAINING? CAUSE I'M, I'M GOOD EITHER WAY. 
          I JUST DON'T THINK LIKE CITY COUNCIL GAVE US THE MONEY FOR THE TRAINING. 
          SO I MEAN, IF WE DON'T USE IT, I FEEL LIKE WE LOSE IT. 
          SO MIGHT AS WELL JUST GO ALL IN ON SOMETHING. 
          I ALMOST WONDER IF WE'RE GOING TO FIND IN THIS IS GONNA SOUND ALMOST, I DON'T KNOW IF WE'RE GOING TO FIND ANYTHING THAT'S A THOUSAND DOLLARS THAT IS GOING TO BE WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR. 
          A LOT OF THE FREE TRAINING IS REALLY GOOD. 
          AND IF WE'RE PAYING, YOU KNOW, $50 FOR A CERTIFICATE, I THINK THAT'S NOT BAD. 
          UM, BECAUSE I WOULD LOVE FOR AN EXPERT TO COME IN, BUT I'M LOOKING AT A LOT OF THE TRAINING IS $10,000. 
          LIKE, WHOA, THAT IS VERY EXPENSIVE. 
          SO I MEAN, IF I'M GOING TO PAY SOMEBODY 10,000 OR VERSUS I CAN WATCH SOMEONE ONLINE AND IT'S THE SAME EXPERT AND AT THE END OF THE TRAINING, I'M GOING TO PAY HIM $99. 
          I'M GOING TO VOTE 99 EVERY TIME IF IT'S THE SAME EXPERT. 
          SO THAT'S HOW MY MINDSET IS NOW. 
          UM, IF WE CAN HONESTLY TAKE A LITTLE BIT MORE TIME AND FIND SOMEBODY THAT IS A THOUSAND DOLLARS. 
          GREAT. 
          UM, BUT WHAT IS THE CONTENT GOING TO BE? AND THAT'S MY CONCERN FOR IT, BECAUSE IF THIS TRAINING IS WHAT WE'RE PAYING FOR, UM, IS IT WORTH IT $4,000? AND WE DON'T GET WHAT WE REALLY NEED OUT OF IT. 
          ALTHOUGH BRIAN, YOURS WAS UNDER A THOUSAND DOLLARS, RIGHT? YEAH. 
          MINE, MINE WAS 9 99. 
          UM, I WAS JUST LOOKING AT WHAT IT PROVIDES, UM, 
          [01:55:02]
AND IF IT PROVIDES WHAT WE NEED THEN AWESOME. 
          LET'S GO FOR IT. 
          BUT MY GOODNESS, IT'S A VIRTUAL TRADING, RIGHT. 
          OR IT'S NOT A PERSON COMING HERE. 
          RIGHT. 
          UM, GRACIE, CAN I PULL IT UP THAT, THAT THE TRAINING, THIS MIGHT BE A GOOD OPPORTUNITY FOR THE COMMISSION. 
          MAYBE NOT TO MAKE THIS A COMMISSION EVENT OR JUST COMMISSIONING COUNCIL AND JUST KIND OF A CITY EVENT, LIKE A REAL EVENT AND FIRM INFORMATIVE THING THAT YOU GUYS COULD PUT ON YOUR CALENDAR OF EVENTS. 
          AND I MEAN, OBVIOUSLY I'M ONLY ONE COUNCIL MEMBER, BUT I MEAN, IF IT'S GOING TO BE MORE OF A CITY-WIDE OR COMMUNITY-WIDE EVENT, I THINK THAT THERE MAY BE ROOM FOR, UM, A BUDGET AMENDMENT FOR THAT DOLLAR AMOUNT TO GO UP. 
          SO ESPECIALLY IF IT'S PRESENTED IN THAT WAY. 
          UM, SO IT POTENTIALLY COULD REACH 40,000 PEOPLE SINCE THAT'S ABOUT WHERE HEDO IS. 
          UM, I DON'T THINK THAT MAY BLOW UP IT'S PEOPLE DON'T LIKE TO SHOP. 
          UM, BUT I, I MEAN, OBVIOUSLY I'M ONLY ONE COUNCIL MEMBER, BUT I MEAN, I THINK UPPING THAT BUDGET SOME, ESPECIALLY IF WE MAKE IT A BIG COMMUNITY, AT LEAST INVITE THE COMMUNITY TO THE EVENT AND KIND OF MAKE IT A LARGER SCALE AND A BIGGER EVENT FOR YOU GUYS. 
          I THINK THAT MIGHT BE SOMETHING ON THE TABLE, RIGHT? YEAH. 
          AND THAT WOULD, THAT WOULD BE REALLY NICE FOR IT TO BE A EVENT. 
          AND THAT ALSO GETS OUR NAME OUT THERE AND PEOPLE FEEL LIKE WE'RE DOING SOMETHING. 
          RIGHT. 
          THINK THAT GIVES THE OPPORTUNITY. 
          WE CAN CREATE SWAG. 
          I MEAN, I'M NOT REALLY WORRIED ABOUT THE MONEY FUNDS AND STUFF LIKE THAT, BUT I'M SAYING LIKE, THAT'LL BE A GOOD OPPORTUNITY FOR US TO LIKE HAVE REPRESENTATION. 
          RIGHT. 
          AND ALSO LIKE WE COULD GET OUR, WE DO NEED TO GET A VIBE OUT THERE. 
          I HAD NO IDEA THIS EXISTED. 
          I'M PRETTY SURE EVERYBODY ELSE WAS THE SAME WAY. 
          WE REALLY DO NEED TO START BEING PRODUCTIVE. 
          I TOTALLY GET WHAT YOU'RE SAYING. 
          UM, COMMISSIONER'S PHONES. 
          UM, BUT YEAH, WE NEED TO START MOVING. 
          YEAH. 
          CAUSE WE'VE ONLY BEEN OUT TWICE, REALLY OUT THERE. 
          RIGHT. 
          DOING SOMETHING, WHICH WAS THE BLOCK PARTY IN HALLOWEEN. 
          RIGHT. 
          TELL ME TWO TIMES. 
          HM. 
          LOOK AT IT. 
          LET'S COME UP WITH SOMETHING WITH THE CITY. 
          IS THAT WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR? LIKE FOR THE COMMUNITY ITSELF IS WHAT WE NEED TO VOTE TO EXTEND OUR TIME, OUR BUDGET INDIVIDUAL, UNLESS THERE'S AN OBJECTION. 
          I DON'T THINK IT REALLY NEEDS LIKE A CALL TO VOTE. 
          OKAY. 
          OH, IT WAS OUR, MEETING'S SUPPOSED TO BE OVER AT EIGHT 30, BUT IT'S NEVER OVER AT EIGHT 30. 
          IT'S MINE. 
          I'M HEADING HOME NOW. 
          I'M SO REGRETTING. 
          I DIDN'T EXACTLY. 
          IT'S UP TO YOU GUYS. 
          IF YOU GUYS WANT TO DECIDE AND SAY, HEY, WE WANT TO SEND THIS TO COUNCIL AND MAYBE TRY AND GET A BUDGET AMENDMENT AND MAKE IT FOR MORE MONEY. 
          YOU CAN, IF YOU WANT TO THINK THAT, HEY, LET'S JUST STICK WITH OUR THOUSAND DOLLARS THIS TIME. 
          SEE WHAT WE CAN GET AND MAYBE COME BACK NEXT YEAR WITH A BIGGER, I DON'T KNOW. 
          IT'S COMPLETELY NO, BECAUSE AS A PARENT OR AS A BUSINESS DO US WONDERS. 
          IF YOU SHOW ME THAT YOU'RE RESPONSIBLE WITH A THOUSAND DOLLARS AND YOU'RE GOING TO BE MORE RESPONSIBLE WITH THE MORE MONEY THAT I GIVE YOU LATER, THAT'S FAIR POINT. 
          YES. 
          LIKE A CITYWIDE TRAINING OR IF WE BRING PEOPLE IN, I MEAN, SO THIS MIGHT BE A GOOD SPRINGBOARD, YOU KNOW, START HERE BECAUSE THIS IS, IF THIS IS 25 PEOPLE, THEN WE COULD PUT THAT OUT TO THEM. 
          WE COULD HAVE A GROUP OF, OF COMMISSIONER CHAIN, COMMISSION, CITY, COUNCIL, PEOPLE, AND SOME COMMUNITY MEMBERS. 
          YEAH. 
          OR YOU CAN DO CITY STAFF SCROLL DOWN, UM, KEEP GOING. 
          THIS IS LIKE A KID THEN IN OTHER WORDS, RIGHT. 
          IT'S A KIT. 
          SO THING. 
          SO KEEP GOING DOWN GRACIE. 
          THERE'S A, SO GO BACK UP REAL QUICK. 
          SO THIS IS WHAT IS, UH, SORRY, GO DOWN A LITTLE BIT MORE. 
          SO THIS IS WHAT'S IN THE KIT. 
          SO I MEAN, I DON'T KNOW IF THIS IS, THIS IS UP FOR UP TO 25 PARTICIPANTS. 
          AND SO THIS, THIS IS WHAT COMES IN. 
          IT MIGHT BE BETTER TO FIND A TRAINING THAT SOMEONE COMES TO US AND CAN GIVE IT. 
          CAUSE I THINK THAT WOULD BE MORE BENEFICIAL FOR THE COMMUNITY IF WE WANT TO OPEN IT UP TO A COMMUNITY EVENT, BECAUSE I JUST DON'T FEEL LIKE ANYONE WOULD BE LIKE, I DON'T, I DON'T FEEL LIKE PEOPLE WOULD SAY, HEY, YOU'RE NOT A DNI PRACTITIONER. 
          WE DON'T WANT YOU TO. 
          RIGHT. 
          YEAH. 
          WELL, I FOUND THEM, I DON'T KNOW EXACTLY HOW THEIR WORK HAVE THEY WORKED. 
          I'M GOING TO CONTACT THEM TOMORROW AND SEE WHAT THEY SAY. 
          OKAY. 
          YEAH. 
          I THINK, YEAH, BRINGING THAT BACK. 
          THAT'D BE GREAT. 
          UM, AND I MEAN, SINCE WE, IT'S BEEN A MINUTE SINCE WE'VE MET, I THINK, YOU KNOW, THIS COULD BE ANOTHER ACTION 
          [02:00:01]
ITEM THAT WE TAKE BACK FOR OUR NEXT MEETING COMING UP, YOU KNOW, FIND SOME PAID TRAINING OPTIONS, MAYBE ONE TRAINING OPTION FOR JUST OUR COMMISSION AND CITY COUNCIL AND THEN ANOTHER TRAINING OPTION THAT COULD BE A MASS TRAINING OPTION THAT WE COULD PUSH OUT TO THE, THE CITIZENS. 
          UM, AND YOU KNOW, MAYBE THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE COUPLE AT THE END OF THE MONTH OF JUNE, WE SAY, HEY, YOU KNOW, WE HAD JUNETEENTH EARLIER THIS MONTH NOW, YOU KNOW, IF WE CAN SCRAMBLE AND PUT TOGETHER SOMETHING AND WE CAN FIND THE TIME AT, AT CITY HALL, MAYBE THAT'S SOMETHING THAT, YOU KNOW, WE CAN INVITE THE COMMUNITY TO, BUT WE WOULD JUST NEED TO HAVE THAT FOR OUR MEETING, UM, IN JUNE. 
          AND I DON'T KNOW IF NOW IT'S STARTING TO TURN IN MY HEAD. 
          I DON'T KNOW IF WE WANT TO DO THIS, BUT WE COULD HAVE THIS AS LIKE AN, A SECOND AGENDA ITEM ON OUR SPECIALLY CALLED MEETING IS, YOU KNOW, HEY, DO WE HAVE OPTIONS? YOU KNOW, CAN WE START FLUSHING THIS OUT TO PUSH OUT AT THE END OF JUNE, MIGHT BE, MIGHT BE WORTH IT. 
          I DON'T KNOW, JUST A THOUGHT I'D BE DOWN TO FIND TRAINING OPTIONS AND THEN TALK ABOUT IT DURING THE SPECIALTY CALLED MEETING. 
          TALK ABOUT ANOTHER TOPIC ON A SPECIAL MEETING. 
          WE JUST NEED TO LET GRACIE KNOW I HAVE FIVE MINUTES TO COME AND VOTE AND LEAVE. 
          OKAY. 
          SO WE'RE NOT GOING TO HAVE TIME TO DO THAT. 
          WELL, WE CAN, YOU CAN. 
          I MEAN, WE CAN STILL TALK ABOUT IT. 
          JUST ALL COMMISSIONERS. 
          WOULDN'T BE THERE. 
          YEAH. 
          AS LONG AS WE, AS LONG AS WE HAVE AT LEAST FOR AS LONG AS WE HAVE FOR, TO MAKE A DECISION. 
          YUP. 
          OKAY. 
          SO DO, ARE WE IN A GRANTS? WOULD WE WANT TO ADD THE TALKING ABOUT POTENTIALLY PAID TRAINING DURING OUR SPECIALTY CALLED MEETING? YES. 
          SO THEN GRACIE, CAN WE HAVE AN AGENDA ITEM ADDED TO THE SPECIAL CALLED MEETING TO TALK ABOUT PAID TRAINING OPTIONS? YES, SIR. 
          AND THEN DURING THAT MEETING, FOR THOSE THAT CAN'T ATTEND, LET'S PLEASE, YOU KNOW, COME PREPARED WITH SOME OPTIONS AND, UM, GRACIE, CAN YOU MAKE THAT A DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE ACTION? YES, SIR. 
          AND FOR THOSE COMMISSIONERS THAT WON'T BE THERE, YOU KNOW, WE'LL LET YOU KNOW WHAT THE DECISION IS. 
          POSTNUP VIDEOS, POSTS, POST MEETING NOTES. 
          YEAH, WE CAN, WE CAN LET YOU KNOW WHAT THE DECISION IS. 
          UM, IN OUR REGULARLY SCHEDULED MEETING IN JUNE AND IT DOESN'T HAVE TO NECESSARILY BE SOMETHING THAT YOU PAY SOMEBODY. 
          SO I WORK A LOT WITH CHILDREN AND THERE'S A WILLIAMSON COUNTY CHILDREN'S ADVOCACY CENTER. 
          THEY COME AND DO TRAININGS FOR MY STAFF FOR FREE BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT THEY DO, THEIR ADVOCACY CENTER. 
          AND THERE ARE THINGS LIKE THAT IN AUSTIN FOR DIVERSITY. 
          THERE'S A WHOLE DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION PROJECT AUSTIN. 
          SO THERE MAY BE OTHER AVENUES WHERE YOU CAN ACTUALLY HAVE SOMEONE THAT'S LOCAL AND IN PERSON, AND ALSO DOESN'T NECESSARILY HAVE COST IS THE BIG FACTOR. 
          I'M JUST THROWING SOME IDEAS OUT THERE. 
          IT'S JUST GOOD TO HAVE THE COST, I GUESS, IN OUR BACK POCKET IF WE NEED IT. 
          I THINK IT'S JUST KNOWING WHO TO CONTACT. 
          RIGHT. 
          JUST FINDING THEM RIGHT. 
          FINDING THEM. 
          AND THEN I GUESS YOU CHARGE THAT TO THE TRAINING SUBCOMMITTEE THAT THAT'S THEIR CHARGE TO DO FOR THAT MEETING IS HAVE, SEE IF YOU CAN FIND SOME CONTACT PEOPLE AND COME UP WITH, SO THEN THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE COULD TALK ABOUT IN THE MEETING ON THE SIXTH OR ON THE SEVENTH, SORRY, ON THE SEVENTH. 
          OKAY. 
          SO THEN MOVING TO BE UNDER 8.3 SELECTION OF THE NEXT FREE TRADING COURSE. 
          I KNOW THAT I GOT LOST IN OUR TRAINING, WHAT WE WERE DOING. 
          SO I DON'T THINK THERE'S A REVIEW OF TRAINING, BUT, UM, FROM OUR SPREADSHEET, GRACIE, DO YOU HAVE OUR SPREADSHEET AVAILABLE? UM, WE CAN PICK, PICK THE NEXT FREE TRAINING THAT WE'D LIKE TO DO. 
          AND JUST A LITTLE BACKGROUND ON THIS. 
          UM, SO WE ARE, SO WE WERE, ANOTHER CITIZEN COMMENT WAS GIVEN TO US. 
          UM, AND, UH, A CITIZEN WAS CHALLENGING US, GET EDUCATED ON DIVERSITY INCLUSION ISSUES. 
          AND WHILE WE WERE WAITING FOR CITY COUNCIL TO ALLOCATE BUDGET TO US, UM, WE STARTED TO LOOK AT FREE TRAININGS ONLINE THAT WE COULD DO. 
          AND THEN WE WOULD TALK ABOUT WHICH TRAINING COURSE WE WERE GOING TO DO FROM THERE. 
          THE NEXT MEETING WE WOULD COME AND TALK ABOUT, YOU KNOW, WHAT WE LEARNED, UM, HOW WE CAN APPLY 
          [02:05:01]
IT TO OUR, OUR CAREERS, OUR LIVES. 
          AND, UM, I CAN'T REMEMBER THE OTHER, THE OTHER TOPICS, BUT, UM, THE CRUX OF IT WAS TO DO TRAINING SHOW THE COMMUNITY THAT WE'RE DOING TRAINING AND ALSO HAVE AN OPEN DISCUSSION ON WHAT WE LEARNED ABOUT IN THE TRAINING. 
          AND SO, UM, WE HAVE A SPREADSHEET OF DIFFERENT FREE TRAINING OPTIONS. 
          UM, AND SO EACH MEETING WE'VE REPORTED ON WHAT WE'D DONE AND THEN PICKED A NEW ONE. 
          AND SO TONIGHT, UM, SINCE WE HAVEN'T MET IN A WHILE, WE'LL JUST PICK A NEW ONE AND BE PREPARED TO TALK ABOUT THAT IN OUR JUNE MEETING, NOT THE SPECIALLY CALLED MEETING ON THE SEVENTH, BUT OUR ACTUAL MEETING, UM, IN JUNE NOW THE ONE WE WERE SUPPOSED TO DO FOR THIS WEEK, I DID DO IT. 
          OKAY. 
          BUT SHOULD WE JUST REPEAT THAT ONE? WE DIDN'T DO IT. 
          JUST REPEAT THAT ONE. 
          I DON'T REMEMBER WHICH ONE IT WAS. 
          I TOOK NOTES ON IT. 
          AND SO I DON'T EVEN, I MEAN, I DON'T, I DON'T, I DON'T REMEMBER WHAT IT WAS MIXED SO MANY UP NOW AND IN THIS, IN THIS TOPIC, UH, ANY COMMISSIONER, COMMISSIONER, RANTS, AND HUDSON, UM, BUT ANY COMMISSIONER AS WELL, IF YOU FIND FREE TRAINING OPTIONS, PLEASE SEND THAT TO ME OR COMMISSIONER CHIN OR SEND IT TO GRACIE, UM, SO THAT SHE COULD GET IT OUT TO ME AND COMMISSIONER CHEN, UM, OR WAIT ME AND COMMISSIONER WALKER. 
          WE'RE ON THE, UH, YOU GOTTA, YOU GOTTA CORRECT ME COMMISSIONER WALK-INS. 
          UM, BUT SAID IT'S A GRACIE, SO SHE COULD SEND IT TO ME AND COMMISSIONER WALKER, BECAUSE WE'D LOVE TO ADD THAT TO OUR FREE TRAINING, BECAUSE EVEN, YOU KNOW, WHEN WE FINISHED ALL OF THESE TRAININGS, WE STILL WANT TO KEEP DOING TRAININGS. 
          UM, AND SO, UH, THIS'LL BE SOME, LIKE IF YOU FIND ANY FREE TRAININGS, PLEASE LET US KNOW. 
          UM, MICHELLE RANSON, HUDSON, WHAT YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT WITH, UH, UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH FLORIDA. 
          I THINK THAT COULD BE AN OPTION THAT WE LOOK AT. 
          SO PLEASE SEND THOSE RECOMMENDATIONS OVER GRACIE. 
          DID YOU HAVE THAT SPREADSHEET? I'M LOOKING TO SAVE IT. 
          WON'T LET ME LOG IN TO THE NETWORK. 
          SO I'M LOOKING TO SEE IF MAYBE ONE OF OUR PREVIOUS PACKETS, UM, I CAN PULL IT UP THAT WAY. 
          UM, AND ONCE WE, ONCE WE GET ALL THE TRAINING DONE, ARE WE POSTING THAT ON THE WEBSITE OR WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO WITH IT? I THINK, I THINK WE CAN. 
          OR IS THAT JUST SOMETHING THAT THAT'S JUST SOMETHING I THINK YOU GUYS SHOULD TALK ABOUT, BUT I THINK A COOL THING WOULD BE TO POST THE TRAININGS THAT WE'VE DONE AND, YOU KNOW, THE CITIZENS CAN SEE WHAT DONE AND IT WOULDN'T LINK OUT TO IT SO THAT THEY COULD, IF THEY COULD SEE WHAT WE'RE DOING OR THEY COULD ALSO GO AND FOLLOW THE LINK AND TAKE THAT SAME COURSE AND THEY CAN DO IT. 
          SO I FEEL LIKE IT WAS A SHORT ONE COMMISSIONER CHIN, I THINK IT WAS CAUSE WE DID THE REALLY LONG ONE. 
          I REMEMBER, I THINK, AND WE DECIDED WE HAD TO DO A SHORT ONE BECAUSE KNOW? YES. 
          YEAH. 
          AND I ALSO THINK GIVEN THE FACT THAT I ACTUALLY DID IT, IT WAS PROBABLY, UM, I THINK IT WAS MANAGING A DIVERSE TEAM, LINKEDIN ONE DAY, ONE HOUR. 
          THAT'S THE ONE. 
          SO THEN THAT'S THE ONE AND I CAN SEND OUT THE LINK. 
          SO WHAT I'LL DO TOMORROW IS I WILL SEND OUT THE LINK TO THAT TRAINING, TO GRACIE, TO SEND OUT TO EVERYONE. 
          SO THAT WAY WE COULD TAKE IT BEFORE OUR NEXT MEETING AND, UM, JUST TAKE NOTES ON IT. 
          UM, I BELIEVE I HAVE OUR PREVIOUS AGENDA. 
          GIVE ME ONE SECOND. 
          UM, WE HAVEN'T MET SINCE MARCH, SO WOULD IT BE THE MARCH 10TH ONE? I BELIEVE SO. 
          YEAH. 
          WHAT ABOUT IT? DID WE HAVE IT? OKAY, SO THEN PERFECT AND SCRIBBLE ALL OVER THAT ONE. 
          THANK YOU. 
          COMMISSIONER SMITH. 
          OKAY. 
          SO IN THESE, SO WHENEVER WE COME BACK IN JUNE AND FOR ANY TRAINING THAT WE DO, THE QUESTIONS THAT WE'RE ANSWERING ARE, WHAT DID YOU LEARN THAT YOU DID NOT KNOW BEFORE TO YOU? WHAT WAS THE MOST IMPORTANT POINT OF THE TRAINING? AND THEN WHAT IS SOMETHING FROM THE TRAINING PROVIDED THAT YOU CAN INCORPORATE INTO YOUR PERSONAL PROFESSIONAL LIFE, PERSONAL SLASH PROFESSIONAL LIFE? SO THOSE ARE THE THREE QUESTIONS THAT WE ANSWER, UM, FOR ANY OF THE TRAININGS THAT WE DO. 
          AND SO, UM, 
          [02:10:01]
AGAIN, I WILL SEND OUT THE LINK TO THE MANAGING A DIVERSE TEAM TO GRACIE TOMORROW. 
          SO THAT WAY SHE CAN SEND THAT OUT TO ALL OF US AND WE CAN, UM, BEGIN AND COMPLETE THAT TRAINING BEFORE OUR NEXT MEETING IN JUST A WORD ON THE TRAININGS. 
          UM, IN THE PAST WE'VE HAD COMMISSIONERS THAT DIDN'T DO THE TRAININGS. 
          UM, IT'S OKAY. 
          I THINK, UM, YOU KNOW, WE'RE VERY BUSY, DEFINITELY WANT TO OURSELVES, SOME GRACE ON, ON, YOU KNOW, COMPLETING THESE TRAININGS, BUT JUST KEEP IN MIND THAT THESE ARE, THIS WAS A, A HOT TOPIC FROM CITIZENS ABOUT THE DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION COMMISSION AND NOT BEING TRAINED PROPERLY ON TOPICS OF DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION COMMISSION. 
          AND THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WE, TO REMEDY THAT AGREED THAT WE WOULD DO IN ORDER TO NOT ONLY GET EDUCATED, BUT ALSO TO SHOW THE COMMUNITY THAT WE ARE DEVOTED. 
          WE'RE COMMITTED TO THE DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION COMMISSION. 
          AND SO, UM, I'M NOT GOING TO SAY NOT DOING THE TRAININGS IS NOT A GOOD LOOK, BUT NOT DOING THE TRAININGS, I THINK IS SOMETHING THAT, YOU KNOW, IT WOULD KIND OF QUESTION YOUR COMMITMENT TO THE COMMISSION. 
          SO JUST LIKE JUST A WORD OF CAUTION, YOU KNOW, THESE MEETINGS ARE RECORDED. 
          PEOPLE CAN GO BACK AND WATCH THEM OR LISTEN TO THEM. 
          SO, UM, DOING THE TRAININGS WOULD PROBABLY BE IN THE BEST INTEREST AND, YOU KNOW, BEING PREPARED TO TALK ABOUT THOSE, UM, WOULD, WOULD BE, UH, IT WOULD BE SOMETHING THAT, YOU KNOW, I WOULD BE ENCOURAGED, UM, AS WE, AS WE MOVE FORWARD. 
          SO AGAIN, I'LL SEND THIS LINK OUT TO GRACIE, UM, TOMORROW AND LOOK FORWARD TO SPEAKING WITH EVERYONE ABOUT THIS IN OUR NEXT MEETING IN JUNE. 
          AND AGAIN, IT WAS MANAGING A DIVERSE TEAM PROVIDED BY LINKEDIN. 
          OKAY. 
          UM, ANY MORE DISCUSSION ON ITEM 8.3, HEARING NONE, WE'LL MOVE TO ITEM 8.4 DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE ACTION RELATED TO THE ASSESSMENT SUBCOMMITTEE AND CITYWIDE SURVEY. 
          SO THIS IS A COMMITTEE THAT IS HEADED UP BY MYSELF AND COMMISSIONER CHIN. 
          UM, WE HAVE WORKED WITH THE CITY TO CREATE A, UM, A CITY SURVEY THAT, UM, REALLY HELPS TO GAUGE THE, UM, WHAT WOULD YOU SAY, COMMISSIONER CHIN AND GAUGE THE TEMPERATURE OF DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION TOPICS, UM, FEELINGS DESIRES IN THE COMMUNITY OF HUDDLE. 
          UM, WE'VE CRAFTED 25, 50 OR SO QUESTIONS, UM, AND PROVIDED THAT TO A THIRD-PARTY VENDOR THAT HAS THEN KIND OF SPARSED THOSE QUESTIONS DOWN INTO A DIGESTIBLE SURVEY. 
          UM, AND FROM THERE IT'S BEEN CREATED AND TONIGHT WE ARE GIVING AN UPDATE ON. 
          SO, UM, I THINK THAT'S ALL OF THE POINTS TO COVER. 
          IS THAT IT? OKAY. 
          SO, UM, WE HAVE SOME REALLY GREAT PROGRESS. 
          THE SURVEY HAS BEEN COMPLETED. 
          UM, IT WILL BE SENT OUT, I BELIEVE. 
          UM, GRACIE DID, WERE WE ABLE TO GET THE LINK OUT TO THE COMMISSIONERS REGARDING THE SURVEY? WAS THAT ABLE TO GET SENT OUT? DID I SEND THAT EMAIL TO YOU? I'LL HAVE TO LOOK THAT DOESN'T SOUND FAMILIAR. 
          OKAY. 
          CAUSE I, I KNOW I TALKED TO A COUNCIL MEMBER KINSEY ABOUT SENDING OUT THE SURVEY LINK BEFORE THE MEETING. 
          AND I THOUGHT I DID, WAS THIS THE DRAFT FORM OF THE, OF THE SURVEY? I BELIEVE WE HAD IT IN ONE OF OUR LAST PACKETS. 
          WAS IT LIKE A, IT WAS, IT WAS, UH, IT WAS CAUSE ESTHER SENT US THE LINK TO THE SURVEY AND THAT'S WHAT I ASKED TO BE SENT TO THE COMMISSIONERS. 
          OKAY. 
          I RECALL IN A DOCUMENT, BUT MAYBE LET ME JUST PULL IT UP AND SEE IF THAT'S, WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THE SAME THING. 
          AND IF NOT, I GUESS WE COULD JUST PULL UP THE, CAN WE PULL UP THE SURVEY FROM THE LINK THAT ESTHER SENT? 
          [02:15:01]
LET ME, OKAY. 
          SO THE SURVEY HAS BEEN COMPLETED, UM, COUNCIL MEMBER KINSEY. 
          DID WE HAVE A DATE WHEN IT WAS GOING TO BE SENT OUT BECAUSE IT WAS GOING TO BE SENT OUT AT RANDOM? I BELIEVE IT WAS MAY 5TH. 
          I WANT TO SAY, I THINK THAT IT HAS GONE OUT. 
          AT LEAST THAT WAS MY UNDERSTANDING IS I BELIEVE IT WAS BEGINNING OF MAY AND THEN THEY HAD TWO WEEKS TO COMPLETE. 
          SO IT WAS MAILED TO PEOPLE OR EMAILED TO PEOPLE. 
          IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING THAT IT WAS MAILED AND IT WAS DONE AT A RANDOM SELECTION. 
          I FORGET HOW MANY THAT THEY SENT OUT, BUT THEY SAY THAT USUALLY A GOOD VARIABLE OF MEASURE IS IF THEY GET 400 RESPONSES THAT USUALLY THE MARGIN OF ERROR AND, YOU KNOW, X, Y, Z, I'M NOT A FORMULA PERSON. 
          UM, BUT SHE SAID THAT THEY USUALLY AIM TO GET ABOUT 400 RESPONSES TO BE ABLE TO COMPILE THEIR RAW DATA WITH A CERTAIN CERTAINTY THAT THIS IS REPRESENTATIVE REPRESENTATIVE OF THE COMMUNITY. 
          SO I DON'T KNOW HOW THEY SELECTED THE PEOPLE. 
          UM, IT WAS A LOT OF DISCUSSION. 
          WAS, SHOULD IT BE RANDOM? SHOULD IT BE POINTED? SHOULD IT JUST BE AN ONLINE LINK, BUT THEN THAT EXCLUDES A LOT OF PEOPLE AND THEN WHO SEES IT IS GOING TO BE JUST THE PEOPLE THAT ARE MORE ACTIVE ON FACEBOOK. 
          AND IS THAT REALLY REPRESENTATIVE? UM, SO THERE WAS A LOT OF DISCUSSION REGARDING THAT. 
          AND BRIAN, YOU CAN LET ME KNOW IF I'M SAYING ANYTHING WRONG, BUT THAT WAS MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT THEY WERE GOING TO BE MAILED AND THAT THEY WERE LOOKING TO HAVE 400 RESPONSES. 
          THEY DID PUT AN END TIME, YOU KNOW, PLEASE HAVE THIS BACK WITHIN TWO WEEKS. 
          UM, JUST BECAUSE THEY FELT LIKE IF THEY LEFT IT OPEN, CAUSE WE'RE ALL PEOPLE AND WE'RE PROCRASTINATORS. 
          IT MIGHT, WHEN WAS THAT? DO, OH, I CAN GET IT IN THURSDAY NIGHT IF IT'S DUE ON FRIDAY. 
          SO THEY WANTED TO KIND OF PUT AN END DATE. 
          UM, SO IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING. 
          IT WAS TWO WEEKS. 
          THEY WOULD THEN COMPILE IT OUT, UH, HAVE IT ALL TOGETHER. 
          BE ABLE TO SHOW US INFORMATION. 
          I BELIEVE IT WAS MID JUNE. 
          DOES THAT SOUND RIGHT? BRIAN? CHRISTINE, DOES THAT SOUND RIGHT? YEAH. 
          I THINK THAT THE RESULTS IN ESSENCE SHOULD BE AVAILABLE LIKE MID JUNE. 
          RIGHT. 
          SO GRACIE, I JUST SENT YOU THE SURVEY LINK THAT I HAD FROM, FROM ESTHER. 
          UM, IT WAS HADOW SURVEY.ORG. 
          OKAY. 
          YEAH. 
          I'M TRYING TO PULL UP MY EMAIL AND IT'S, IT'S TIMING OUT ON ME. 
          AND SO COMMISSIONERS, I JUST THINK IT'D BE COOL FOR YOU GUYS. 
          I KNOW YOU WON'T READ EVERY QUESTION AND I, BUT IT'D BE NEAT FOR YOU GUYS TO JUST SEE WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE. 
          I THINK IT WAS REALLY WELL DONE. 
          OBVIOUSLY WE COULDN'T PUT ALL THE QUESTIONS IN THERE. 
          COULDN'T BE, YOU KNOW, A STRAIGHT DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION SURVEY, UM, BECAUSE THE CITY NEEDED TO FIND OUT INFORMATION AS WELL. 
          UM, BUT I THINK IT WAS A GREAT MERGE OF CITY TOPICS IN DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION TOPICS. 
          AND I THINK, UM, THE RESULTS WILL HELP US TO, YOU KNOW, FIGURE OUT IF THE SUB COMMITTEES THAT WE HAVE ARE WHAT CITIZENS WANT. 
          UM, I THINK IT WILL ALSO HELP US TO FIGURE OUT, UM, YOU KNOW, BASED ON THE THINGS THAT WE'RE DOING, ARE THESE THINGS GOING TO HAVE AN IMPACT, UM, IN THE, WITH ENOUGH MAGNITUDE THAT WE'RE HOPING THEY HAVE. 
          UM, SO I THINK THIS SURVEY IS GOING TO BE A GREAT, UH, ROADMAP FOR US MOVING FORWARD AS A DNI COMMISSION. 
          AND THAT'S EXCITING. 
          AND SO IF YOU WANT TO JUST TAKE A MINUTE AND JUST LOOK OVER REAL QUICK, THANK YOU GRACIE FOR HAVING THIS AVAILABLE. 
          THAT'S JUST THE HARD COPY BY THE WAY, THIS ISN'T THE ACTUAL LINK, BECAUSE THEN WE'D HAVE TO GO THROUGH AND TAKE IT. 
          THIS IS JUST, AND JUST LET ME KNOW AND I'LL JUST KEEP SCROLLING. 
          CAN WE GET TO MOVE ON TO NUMBER TWO? YES. 
          AND JUST TO EXPLAIN A LITTLE BIT, WHAT, WHAT, UM, COMMISSIONER KINSEY WAS SAYING ABOUT MARGIN OF ERROR. 
          IF, IF THEY HAVE 400 PEOPLE, THE MARGIN OF ERROR IS FIVE POINTS. 
          SO WHAT THAT MEANS IS THAT IF YOU HAVE AN AVERAGE SCORE ON HERE, THE REAL AVERAGE IN THE POPULATION IS FIVE POINTS OVER OR FIVE POINTS LESS. 
          SO THAT'S ALSO REMINDERS. 
          YEAH. 
          BUT THAT'S DECENT AND GET TO MOVE. 
          CAN WE MOVE DOWN AND CAN WE MOVE DOWN, 
          [02:20:03]
GETS INTO COMMUNICATION. 
          SO THIS'LL BE REALLY GOOD ABOUT THE WEBSITE. 
          UM, YEAH, GO AHEAD AND MOVE DOWN. 
          YEAH, I'M REALLY SAD. 
          WE DON'T HAVE A NEWSPAPER ANYMORE. 
          AND HOW TO, I USED TO GET ONE HUDDLE HAD ITS OWN NEWSPAPER REALLY WAS THAT THE TAYLOR PRESS AND TAPE REALLY, BUT EASE. 
          IT WOULD JUST, IT WAS A FREE PAPER TOO. 
          YEAH. 
          THEY WERE GOING TO MOVE DOWN CHRISTIE. 
          IT'S PROBABLY WHY IT'S NOT HERE. 
          LIKE I SAID, I STARTED ROLLING IN, IN A MINUTE PROBLEM WITH IT. 
          GETTING ADVERTISING IS REALLY GOOD FOR ADVERTISERS. 
          JUST, JUST A LOT OF THESE QUESTIONS, LIKE OVERALL QUALITY OF CITY LIBRARY SERVICES. 
          LIKE THESE ARE THINGS THAT WE CAN, YOU KNOW, LOW KEY INSERT OURSELVES INTO. 
          UM, SO I THINK A LOT OF THESE QUESTIONS ARE GOING TO BE PRETTY BENEFICIAL TO OUR COMMISSION. 
          YEAH. 
          I LIKE THE EASE OF HOW YOU CAN JUST SEE EVERYTHING AND HOW EASY IT IS TO. 
          YEAH, I KNOW. 
          IT'S REALLY GOOD. 
          YEAH. 
          I HOPE THEY GET A LOT OF PEOPLE DOING IT. 
          CHRISTIE. 
          WAS THERE ANYTHING ELSE THAT WAS KINDA CAUSE THAT'S WASTING UTILITY? I MEAN, WAS THERE ANYTHING ELSE THAT WAS REALLY LIKE THE FIRST FEW QUESTIONS ARE MAINLY FOCUSED ON DNI AND THEN IT DOES HAVE SPECIFIC QUESTIONS ABOUT LIKE TOWARD THE END SPECIFIC LIBRARY SERVICES AND THINGS OF THAT NATURE. 
          UM, BUT THIS IS AVAILABLE. 
          UM, AND IF NOT, I CAN SEND TO, OR WE CAN SEND IT OUT TO THE COMMISSION. 
          YOU GUYS WANT TO LOOK AT IT. 
          YEAH. 
          THAT'D BE GREAT. 
          IF YOU COULD SEND THAT OUT, THAT'D BE GREAT. 
          WHAT'S GOING ON? THAT'S WHAT I WAS DOING. 
          I WAS JUST DIGGING THROUGH. 
          OH YEAH. 
          I'LL ASK HER THE QUESTIONS. 
          WAIT, WHERE ARE YOU TAKING THE SURVEY? IT'S EASY. 
          IT'S A LIE. 
          MAYBE THEY MAILED IT OUT WITH A LI I DON'T KNOW HOW THEY DISSEMINATE IT. 
          HOW ARE YOU SKEWING RESULTS?  WELL, WE KNOW IT'S SKEWED NOTICE NOW WE KNOW WHAT HAPPENED, RIGHT. 
          THE 5% IS OVER HERE. 
          YEAH. 
          SO ONCE WE, SO THE SURVEY HAS BEEN SENT OUT, UM, ONCE, ONCE THE SURVEY COMES BACK, I THINK THAT'S GOING TO BE AN OPPORTUNITY FOR US, UM, MYSELF AND COMMISSIONER CHIN TO, YOU KNOW, KIND OF GET THE DNI, UM, ACCUMULATION, UM, AND THEN PRESENT THAT TO THE COMMISSION. 
          AND FROM THERE, YOU KNOW, HAVE A REAL GOOD, HONEST DISCUSSION ON, YOU KNOW, IS WHAT WE'RE DOING, REALLY MAKING THE IMPACT THAT WE'RE WANTING. 
          AND SO, UM, I THINK THIS'LL BE REALLY GOOD. 
          SO THERE'S, THAT'S THE UPDATE WITH, UH, WITH THE ASSESSMENT SUBCOMMITTEE. 
          ALL RIGHT. 
          ANY OTHER DISCUSSION ON THIS ITEM? ALL RIGHT. 
          HEARING NONE. 
          WE'LL GO AHEAD AND MOVE TO OTHER BUSINESS. 
          9.3 DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE ACTION TO SIT DOWN WITH THE NEW POLICE CHIEF JEFF YARBROUGH, AND DISCUSS WAYS TO PARTNER WITH AND SUPPORT THE HADOW POLICE DEPARTMENT. 
          UM, I PUT THIS ITEM ON THE AGENDA AS, UM, WE JUST, UH, I GUESS, UM, NOT VOTED IN, BUT, UM, HIRED A NEW POLICE CHIEF AND HAD HIM SWORN IN, UM, I BELIEVE IT WAS TWO CITY COUNCIL MEETINGS AGO. 
          AND, UM, I, I JUST FEEL LIKE, YOU KNOW, THIS CITY HAS HAD ITS UPS AND DOWNS WITH POLICE, UH, FIRST RESPONDERS, BUT I THINK THIS IS A NEW OPPORTUNITY FOR US TO, UM, YOU KNOW, KIND OF PUSH ASIDE AND NOT PUSH ASIDE, BUT PUSH ASIDE, LEARN FROM, YOU KNOW, PAST, UH, PAST CHALLENGES AND MOVE FORWARD WITH A NEW PERSPECTIVE AND WITH A NEW ATTITUDE. 
          AND I THINK THAT REALLY, UM, WOULD GO A LONG WAY IN MEETING WITH THE HUDDLE POLICE DEPARTMENT AND, UM, YOU KNOW, TALKING TO THEM ABOUT OUR VISION, OUR MISSION, WHAT TYPES OF SUBCOMMITTEES WE HAVE, UM, AND SEEING IF THERE'S ANY, YOU KNOW, IDEAS THAT COME FROM THE POLICE DEPARTMENT OPPORTUNITIES TO PARTNER, UM, OPPORTUNITIES TO REALLY, YOU KNOW, MAKE AN IMPACT IN OUR, IN OUR COMMUNITY AND SEE IF THAT LEADS TO, YOU KNOW, WORKING WITH, UM, THE ISD. 
          I THINK, YOU KNOW, COMMISSIONER, UM, UH, RANSON HUDSON, YOU HAVE A GOOD PULSE ON THE ISD AND THAT, YOU KNOW, THIS MAY LEAD TO SOMETHING THERE. 
          UM, THIS COULD LEAD TO, YOU KNOW, UH, THE, THE NEW BUSINESS COMMISSION. 
          I THINK THAT, UM, THE MAYOR 
          [02:25:01]
WAS TALKING ABOUT CREATING THIS COULD LEAD TO, YOU KNOW, SOMETHING AND COMMISSIONER GONZALEZ, YOU HAVE A GOOD PULSE ON, YOU KNOW, BUSINESSES IN HUTTOE. 
          I THINK, YOU KNOW, BEING ABLE TO START TO BRANCH OUT AND WORK WITH DIFFERENT ENTITIES WITHIN THE CITY WOULD BE BENEFICIAL TO, YOU KNOW, GETTING OUR MESSAGE OUT AND JUST BEING, UM, MORE INCLUSIVE IN THE CITY. 
          SO I JUST WANTED TO PUT THIS ON HERE AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT THIS MEETING WOULD LOOK LIKE. 
          I DON'T KNOW HOW TO START THIS, BUT I THINK IT WOULD BE A GOOD DISCUSSION TOPIC FOR US TO SEE, YOU KNOW, IS THIS SOMETHING THAT WE WANT TO DO AND YOU KNOW, WHAT, WHAT POTENTIALLY WOULD WE TALK ABOUT? SO I'LL JUST OPEN IT UP FOR DISCUSSION. 
          I AGREE. 
          I THINK, I THINK THIS ISN'T A CITY OF HEDO ISSUE. 
          I THINK THIS IS AS A NATION. 
          I THINK I'M SETTING UP A RELATIONSHIP WITH ANY POLICE DEPARTMENT IS ALWAYS A GOOD IDEA. 
          I THINK IT'S A GOOD LOOK FOR, UM, ESPECIALLY WITHIN CERTAIN DEMOGRAPHICS. 
          UM, CERTAIN COMMUNITIES NEED TO SET UP A LIAISON WHERE IT'S OKAY. 
          THAT WE TALK WITH THE POLICE, THAT WE KNOW THAT IT THEY'RE HERE TO HELP. 
          UM, I THINK IF WE GOT TO START SOMEWHERE, UM, AND I THINK SITTING DOWN WITH THE POLICE CHIEF WOULD BE A GOOD START. 
          AND, UM, HAVING THAT CONVERSATION IS A GOOD START, UM, WITH US TONIGHT. 
          UM, I DON'T KNOW, LIKE YOU SAID, WHAT IT'S GONNA LOOK LIKE. 
          I DON'T KNOW IF ANYBODY ELSE AGREES WITH ME ON THIS. 
          NO, I THINK I, I TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU. 
          I THINK IT'S, IT'S DEFINITELY A REALLY, WE SHOULD, AND I DON'T KNOW THAT THE FIRST MEETING HAS TO HAVE A BIG AGENDA TO IT. 
          LIKE MAYBE IT'S BETTER TO BE LIKE, HERE WE ARE HERE WE ARE. 
          YOU WANT TO KNOW WHAT YOU DO. 
          THIS IS WHAT WE DO. 
          THIS IS OUR VISION. 
          THIS IS OUR, YOU KNOW, JUST TO DEVELOP A RELATIONSHIP. 
          AND I THINK THAT'S A GOOD START. 
          UM, I DON'T KNOW IF WE'RE GOING TO IRON OUT EVERY DETAIL RIGHT NOW, BUT I THINK JUST SITTING DOWN AS SIMPLE AS A CUP OF COFFEE, UM, YOU KNOW, AND JUST SAYING, HEY, THIS IS WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO. 
          AND WE HOPE YOU HAVE SOME IDEAS, THERE'S ONE COMING UP. 
          RIGHT. 
          AND IT DOESN'T HAVE A COFFEE CHAT OR SOMETHING. 
          I THINK HE DOES. 
          SO BECAUSE THAT WASN'T BECAUSE WE'RE BIG ON COFFEE HERE. 
          AND TO, I THINK IF WE DON'T DO ANYTHING ELSE, WE DRINK MARGARITA DIDN'T HAVE COFFEE. 
          I KNOW THAT BECAUSE WE HAVE A LOT OF GOOD RESTAURANTS. 
          DON'T WE, I THINK WE HAVE, WHAT TWO MORE NOW? I MEAN, I DRINK COFFEE. 
          I WOULD WANT TO HAVE IT. 
          I MEAN, I WOULD WANT TO HAVE IT KIND OF, YEAH, KIND OF MORE INTIMATE. 
          I DON'T KNOW WHAT HIS COFFEE ON OUR PERSONAL EXACTLY. 
          BUT I THINK, YOU KNOW, EVEN IF WE WANTED TO, I DON'T KNOW IF A COMMISSION MEETING IS KIND OF DAUNTING, YOU KNOW, SITTING OUT HERE AND TALKING IN, I DON'T WANT TO TALK AT HIM. 
          I WANT TO TALK WITH HIM. 
          RIGHT. 
          AND SO I GUESS, YOU KNOW, HAVING, SEEING WHAT COMMISSIONER, I GUESS SEEING WHAT THE AVAILABILITY IS OF THE CHIEF OF POLICE AND THEN SEEING WHAT AVAILABILITY COMMISSIONERS HAVE. 
          OH, DON'T WE HAVE TO ALSO WORRY ABOUT HOW MANY COMMISSIONERS, THAT'S WHY I SAY, YOU KNOW, SEE WHAT HIS AVAILABILITY IS AND SEE WHAT COMMISSIONER'S AVAILABLE. 
          I CAN'T REALLY PUT A STATEMENT OUT SAYING THAT IT'S POSSIBLE CORUM. 
          YEAH. 
          IF YOU COME TO AN AGREEMENT, WE CAN JUST, UM, POST A NOTICE OF A POSSIBLE CORUM ADVISING THAT MEMBERS OF THE DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION COMMISSION, YOU KNOW, WE'LL BE GATHERING FOR, YOU KNOW, A, AN EVENT AND THAT NO CITY BUSINESS WILL BE CONDUCTED NO VOTES OR ANY. 
          OKAY. 
          SO I GUESS THE NEXT STEP WOULD BE TO JUST FIGURE OUT HIS AVAILABILITY AND THEN GET WITH YOU CRAZY. 
          OKAY. 
          DOES ANYONE WANT TO TAKE THAT ACTION ITEM ON TO FIND OUT THE CHIEF OF POLICE'S AVAILABILITY? AND WHEN WE COULD POTENTIALLY SIT DOWN, AS I SAY, ANA'S OVER THERE RAISING HER HAND UP, SHE WANTS IT. 
          I HAVE A 16 YEAR OLD WANTING HIM TO KNOW HIM NOW. 
          YEAH. 
          OKAY. 
          AND SO COMMISSIONER GONZALES, DO YOU WANT TO GIVE AN UPDATE ON THAT IN OUR SPECIAL CALLED MEETING ON THE SEVENTH? IT'S REAL QUICK. 
          YEAH. 
          OKAY. 
          SO THEN GRACIE, CAN WE PUT THAT AS AN AGENDA ITEM? I GUESS FIRST SINCE COMMISSIONER GONZALEZ HAS A, ANOTHER ENGAGEMENT JUST TO FIND OUT, YOU KNOW, WHAT HIS AVAILABILITY IS. 
          AND THEN FROM THERE WE CAN TALK ABOUT 
          [02:30:01]
WHAT OUR AVAILABILITY IS. 
          WE WANT TO DO IT AS A DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE ACTION TO MEET WITH HIM. 
          YEAH. 
          THANK YOU. 
          I WILL FIND THE QUICK, FAST DATE. 
          MY LAST NAME IS CONSOLIDATE. 
          THANK YOU VERY MUCH. 
          THANK YOU, COMMISSIONER GONZALEZ FOR DOING THAT. 
          ANY OTHER DISCUSSION ON 9.3? ALL RIGHT. 
          HEARING NONE. 
          WE'LL MOVE TO 9.4 DISCUSSION ON THE ROUND TABLE EVENTS AND THE OPPORTUNITIES FOR COMMISSIONERS TO BRING UP ITEMS TO PUT ON NEXT MEETING AGENDA. 
          UM, I PUT THIS ITEM ON THE AGENDA. 
          UM, I THINK IT WAS IMPROPER OF ME TO JUST CALL FOR AGENDA ITEMS AT THE END OF THE MEETING. 
          I THINK, YOU KNOW, HAVING A DISCUSSION ITEM TO TALK ABOUT, YOU KNOW, IS THERE ANY IDEAS THAT COMMISSIONERS HAVE THAT THEY WANT TO GO AHEAD AND PUT ON THE AGENDA? UM, THIS WOULD BE, YOU KNOW, A GOOD TIME TO JUST, I GUESS, FIELD ANY SORT OF TOPICS THAT COMMISSIONERS WOULD WANT FOR NEXT MEETINGS AGENDA. 
          WE'RE TALKING ABOUT JUNE. 
          RIGHT? RIGHT. 
          SO IF THERE'S ANY ITEMS THAT YOU'D LIKE TO DISCUSS, UM, FOR NEXT MEETING, THIS WOULD BE THE APPROPRIATE TIME TO BRING THOSE UP OR WHERE YOU CAN ALWAYS EMAIL GRACIE AND LET HER KNOW. 
          I DON'T KNOW IF THIS WOULD BE AN AGENDA ITEM, BUT I'M GOING TO BE WORKING WITH THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE ON AN EVENT ABOUT AN EVENT. 
          SO DOES THAT, I DON'T EVEN KNOW IF THAT HAS ANYTHING TO DO WITH THIS, BUT IT DOES. 
          I COULD, FOR AN EVENT THAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN IN OCTOBER. 
          OKAY. 
          YEAH. 
          IT'S A DIVERSITY. 
          I'M GETTING A BRAIN FOG RIGHT NOW. 
          IT COULD BE MADE UNDER, I GUESS, THE COMMENTS COMMISSIONER, UNLESS YOU'RE REQUESTING THAT THE COMMISSION TAKE PART IN AN UPCOMING EVENT. 
          NO, I DON'T THINK IT HAS WELL, NO, I DON'T KNOW THE CALORIE AND EVENT CONVERSATION. 
          OKAY. 
          WE'LL TALK ABOUT, I'LL TALK ABOUT IT ON THE CALENDAR, BUT I DO WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE A, A, UH, UH, ITEM TO TALK ABOUT THE CULTURAL FESTIVAL. 
          UM, I THINK THAT WAS ONE THING THAT CHRISTIE BROUGHT UP AT THE VERY BEGINNING. 
          UM, I THINK THAT GOES BEYOND A LITTLE BIT OF THE CALENDAR AND EVENTS AND IS MORE INCLUSIVE FOR THE DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION COMMISSION AS A WHOLE. 
          SO IF WE COULD HAVE A, AN, AN, A AGENDA ITEM TO TALK ABOUT THE CULTURAL FESTIVAL PLANNING FOR SEPTEMBER, I THINK THAT'D BE APPROPRIATE THAT MUST'VE BEEN ON THE MEETING THAT I WASN'T ABLE TO COME ON A THURSDAY. 
          I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THAT'S ABOUT. 
          THAT'S FOR SEPTEMBER. 
          UM, ALSO IN RESPONSE TO THE, UH, THE EMAIL THAT WAS SENT TO CHRISTIE AS WELL. 
          UM, I THINK IT'D BE GREAT TO HAVE AN ACTION ITEM OR AN AGENDA ITEM TO TALK ABOUT HISPANIC AWARENESS MONTH PROCLAMATION. 
          I THINK THAT'D BE REALLY GOOD. 
          UM, AND YOU DID MENTION, I WANTED TO, I THINK WE NEED TO PUT SOMETHING ON THERE, BUT I PROBABLY WILL EMAIL CAUSE I WANT TO BREAK IT DOWN FURTHER, UM, REVIEWING THE CALENDAR AND MAYBE THAT'S SOMETHING ANA AND I WOULD TALK ABOUT, UM, JUST TO PINPOINT, I THINK YOU SAID, UM, TWO PROCLAMATIONS OR MAYBE ONE FOR EACH MONTH. 
          SO AS A STAFF, WE MET AND DISCUSSED THAT PARTICULAR TOPIC, BUT IN MORE OF A BROAD SCOPE. 
          AND SO WE WERE THINKING TOO, WHETHER YOU WANT IT TO BE PROCLAMATIONS OR RECOGNITIONS OR WHAT HAVE YOU, THAT WE CAN GO AHEAD AND SET AHEAD OF TIME. 
          AND SO, UM, ANGELA WAS MENTIONING THAT IT'S SOMETHING THAT SHE'S DONE, UM, AT OTHER PLACES SHE'S BEEN AT, SHE JUST AUTOMATICALLY INCLUDES THAT IN THE AGENDA. 
          SO IT'S NOT EVEN A QUESTION OF WHEN GOING TO HAPPEN. 
          SO THINGS LIKE, YOU KNOW, SOME OF THESE PROCLAMATIONS THAT YOU'RE NOT ABLE TO GET TO BECAUSE YOU'RE NOT THE MEETINGS DON'T ALIGN OR WHATNOT THAT WOULD, AND THAT'LL TAKE THE PERSON. 
          YOU CAN MOSTLY, IF YOU'RE GOING TO DO THE BLACK FORMATIONS. 
          SO YOU'RE NOT LIKE I'M GOING TO PARIS. 
          LIKE, CAN I DO THIS? YEAH. 
          CAUSE WE, I DON'T WANT TO PUT ALL THE PRESSURE ON FOR YOU. 
          AND THAT HELPS. 
          YEAH. 
          YEAH. 
          I LIKE THE IDEA OF PUTTING THAT ON THE STANDING ITEM, BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW, I WAS THINKING OF SOMETHING AND I COULDN'T THINK OF WHAT IT WAS. 
          THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE SAYING. 
          RIGHT? LIKE THERE'S LIKE A STANDING ITEM AGENDA. 
          THAT MAKES A LOT OF SENSE. 
          YEAH. 
          I MEAN, COULD WE HAVE A STANDING ITEM ON OUR AGENDA? WELL, WHEN WE PUT THOSE ON THE CALENDAR, LIKE IF WE KNOW SEPTEMBER 15TH AND THAT'S WHAT WE'RE SAYING, RIGHT. 
          BUT WHAT I, WHAT, WHAT HAPPENS IS WE THINK ABOUT 
          [02:35:01]
IT, BUT IF THE DEADLINE TO, FOR THE PUBLIC, UM, WE HAVE TO HAVE THE AGENDA SET 72 HOURS BEFORE THE MEETING. 
          AND IF THAT DEADLINE HAS PASSED, WE CAN'T ADD THINGS. 
          AND SO WHAT I, I WAS, I THINK WHAT KRISTI WAS SAYING IS THE CITY COUNCIL COULD HAVE A STANDING ITEM ON THEIR AGENDA TO CONSIDER PROCLAMATIONS, RIGHT? COULDN'T WE HAVE A STANDING ITEM ON OURS BEFORE IF WE KNOW THAT THAT'S COMING, BUT NO I'M SAYING ALWAYS HAVE IT ALWAYS HAVE IT, HAVE A STANDING ITEM ON THE AGENDA THAT SAYS CONSIDERATION FOR POSSIBLE DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE ACTION OF PROCLAMATIONS. 
          BUT I THINK THE ISSUE WITH US, ONE THING HAPPENED. 
          WE MISS A LOT OF MEETINGS BECAUSE WE HAVEN'T MET SINCE MARCH. 
          SO EVEN IF WE WOULD HAVE HAD SOME OF THIS, IT WOULD HAVE NOT HELPED US BECAUSE WE HADN'T MET. 
          AND SO THAT WAS PART OF OUR ISSUE, UM, SICKNESS, YOU KNOW, SOME PEOPLE COULDN'T MAKE IT OKAY. 
          YOU KNOW, LIFE. 
          RIGHT. 
          BUT I THINK WHAT WE'RE SAYING NOW AT THIS POINT, IF WE KNOW NOW WE CAN APPROVE SOME PROCLAMATIONS. 
          NOW LET'S JUST JUMP IN THE HOT WATER AND LET'S JUST GO AHEAD AND WE KNOW IT'S HOT. 
          LET'S DO IT. 
          UM, SO NOW GOING FORWARD INSTEAD OF WAITING AND SAYING, OH YEAH, BY THE WAY, LET'S GO AHEAD AND GET THIS PROCLAMATION DONE NOW IN THE MIDDLE OF THE MONTH, BECAUSE THAT BOTHERS ME ALSO, BECAUSE I SAW YOUR FACIAL EXPRESSION, YOU'RE GOING, BUT YOU SEE, IT'S NOT IDEAL. 
          IT'S TOTALLY NOT. 
          RIGHT. 
          AND WE DON'T LIKE IT EITHER, BUT AT LEAST WE'RE TRYING TO DO IT. 
          YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING? BUT NOW WHAT SHE WAS SAYING IS LET'S TRY TO GET THIS AHEAD OF THE GAME AND PUT IT ON THERE. 
          A STANDING PROCLAMATION WHERE AGENDA AGENDA ITEM, IS THAT THE RIGHT WAY TO SAY IT ANYWAYS? UM, SO THAT NOW GOING FORWARD, IT'S THE FIRST OF THE MONTH WE HAVE IT THERE AND IT'S FOR THE WHOLE MONTH. 
          IT'S NOT FOR HALF THE MONTH. 
          WE CAN JUST PUT IT UNDER, UH, CAN WE, DO WE HAVE TO VOTE ON THIS ONE? NO, NO, WE'RE NOT. 
          WE'RE NOT THAT READY YET. 
          WE COULD JUST PUT IT UNDER OTHER VEINS. 
          LOOK AT ME, PUT IT ON YOUR OTHER BUSINESS. 
          YEAH. 
          BECAUSE THEN WE'RE NOT STYMIED BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT HAPPENS IS THAT WE THINK OF IT, BUT THEN IT'S NOT ON THE AGENDA AND THEN IT'S NOT ON AND THEN EVERYTHING GETS BEHIND YOU. 
          SO LET'S JUST PUT IT, LET'S JUST PUT A STANDING ITEM UNDER IT'S THE STANDARD LANGUAGE LIKE TO DISCUSS ANY AND ALL UPCOMING RIGHT. 
          DISCUSSION, DISCUSSION, AND POSSIBLE ACTION. 
          LIKE, LIKE HOW THERE'S LIKE HOW THERE'S ON ITEM 10, ONE ON CITY COUNCIL MEETING WITH THE COMMISSION'S REVIEW OF ADDITION OR REMOVAL. 
          LIKE WE COULD HAVE THAT, LIKE I RECENTLY DID ADD PROCLAMATIONS IS ONE OF THEIR STANDING ITEMS. SO WE COULD DO THAT AS WELL. 
          UM, AND ALSO JUST AS A REMINDER TO EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOUR COMMISSIONERS, YOU ARE ALWAYS WELCOME TO SEND OVER AGENDA ITEM REQUESTS, AND WE WILL TURN THAT OVER TO THE CHAIRMAN FOR REVIEW AND, AND HAVE THAT ADDED TIL, I MEAN, UM, THAT'S JUST ANY, ANY, AND ALL AGENDA ITEMS. YEAH. 
          THANK YOU FOR SAYING THAT. 
          GRACIE. 
          UM, ANY OTHER DISCUSSION ON 9.4? ALL RIGHT. 
          HEARING NONE. 
          WE'LL MOVE TO 9.5 DISCUSSION OF CITY ATTORNEY'S RESPONSE REGARDING DONATIONS, FUNDRAISERS, ET CETERA. 
          UM, I CAN JUST READ IT. 
          OKAY, PLEASE. 
          THANK YOU. 
          YEAH, NO. 
          SO THIS IS, UM, FROM THE BJORK IS LAW FIRM, WHICH IS THE CITY'S ATTORNEY, UM, OR REPRESENTATION. 
          UM, UH, THE DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION COMMITTEE ORDINANCE DOES NOT AUTHORIZE THE COMMISSION TO SOLICIT FUNDS OR FUNDRAISE. 
          NEVERTHELESS, THE COMMISSION MAY REVIEW AND MAKE ADVISORY RECOMMENDATIONS TO THE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL ON CITY PROGRAMS OR INITIATIVES TO BE PAID FOR WITH CITY FUNDS. 
          THE CITY COUNCIL CAN MAKE EXPENDITURES BASED ON THE RECOMMENDATION OF THE DNI COMMISSION THAT SERVES A LEGITIMATE CITY PURPOSE. 
          SO IT WAS PRETTY RESOUNDING NO SAME THING. 
          JUST MAKE THE RECOMMENDATIONS TO CITY COUNCIL. 
          YEAH. 
          GREAT. 
          THANK YOU. 
          ANY OTHER DISCUSSION ON THIS ITEM? NOPE. 
          NO. 
          ALL RIGHT. 
          UM, 9.6, WE'LL MOVE TO 9.6 BANNER FINAL DRAFT AND PRODUCTION. 
          I GUESS THE BANNER IS STILL HANGING, BUT IT WOULD, YEAH, IT'D BE, IT WOULD, IF WE WOULD HAVE PLANNED IT BETTER, IT WOULD'VE BEEN COOL TO SEE IT, BUT I GUESS YOU JUST DRIVE BY HENRIETTA AND YOU'LL SEE IT. 
          I TOOK A PICTURE OF IT. 
          ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? ANY OTHER DISCUSSION ON 9.6? SO DOES ANYBODY WANT TO COLLECT IT OR KEEP IT, OR DO YOU GUYS WANT TO LEAVE? GET OUT THERE AND THE WEATHER, I MEAN, I DON'T KNOW. 
          IS IT, CAN WE KEEP IT AT HERE AT CITY HALL? YEAH, I CAN TAKE IT DOWN AND ROLL IT UP FOR YOU. 
          THAT'D BE GREAT. 
          THANK YOU, CHRISTIE. 
          ALL RIGHT. 
          ANY OTHER DISCUSSION ON 9.6? 
          [02:40:02]
ALL RIGHT. 
          BEFORE WE ADJOURN, JUST ACTION ITEMS. UM, SO WE WILL, I WILL SEND OUT OUR MANAGING A DIVERSE TEAM, UM, TRAINING FOR NEXT, FOR OUR NEXT MEETING TO BE DISCUSSED IN OUR NEXT MEETING, NOT THE SPECIALLY HELD MEETING ON TUESDAY, JUNE 7TH.
