April 8th minutes.

Okay.

So now we have some heavy lifting.

We thought we would start with the action plan.

Is there a one?

I have a um.

I've lost anything.

Go ahead.

So I'm looking at, don't we have the minutes for May 13th?

Today's May 13th.

Yes.

And what I was going to point.

Yeah, no, what I was going to point out that happened is shared to you this bill by name.

Thoroughly small point.

Today's or the 13th one.

Today's today's agenda.

Oh, okay.

Oh, okay.

Okay.

Let's move on.

It happens all the way.

Okay.

So can we just go through the mechanics of the action plan?

So as you recall, each commissioner, we've been doing a lot digitally.

So you should have an email from informing change.

For the forming change with the uh the four large documents, they are all on the shared drive.

Each commissioner has a folder on the shared drive with your PDF documents that you can make a comment on it.

Um we were also given a Google form separate where you could just type your if you don't have if you're not familiar with PDF and PDF editing, and you can use the Google form and just go to the section where you want to make your comments.

So with that, there are um you know it's a quite uh um information to repair to review and to edit.

And so I thought as a first pass, because everybody's every commissioner, your comments are due Friday, and then first thing Saturday morning informing change change is going to incorporate um all of our comments as best we can and find where there may be um gaps or where there's input.

Most importantly, I would say is where they have asked for us to provide additional information.

So if you look at the first um the first section, where's the report outlined, uh, it specifically says commissioners please provide anything you may know about housing, anything you may know about health.

So when you go through the document, it calls out where they are looking for support for you to add in.

So if you have expertise in an area, go to that area because they're looking to both cite um sources your report a resource and to help embellish the reporting.

So that's sort of one of how you know to read the report and where you want to provide input, and then as we get through as you get deeper into the report, there may be items that you hoping to be included that are not in a particular section, and you should make your comments there.

So that's the overall input now.

Um I have the agenda um, you know, one where I want to go through the document or at least just open up to the floor where folks can say, in this section, I would like to make comments.

That section, I want to make comments.

If you have not reviewed the document, that's fine, you have to Friday, but for the good of the order, the folks want to discuss things that they've noticed to get a dialogue on everyone's first read of the report.

So that's why it's the very first action item, and because the report is lengthy, I wanted to start there because sometimes when we get good suggestions, we have you know some dialogue back and forth.

So I wanted to start with that, the entire report structure and then open it up to see how folks how folks are doing.

Never going to identify those places.

Even if there are questions about how it's structured or outlined or questions, this is really the time to do it, and it's like we really need to do well when we can hear each other's comments.

Oh there we go.

Okay, I finally found the page.

All the stuff in orange is your suggestions or um, for example, economic opportunity and wealth gap.

Some ideas about additional data we could add to further build out, explain this section.

Do you have ideas about where this information may be uh documented?

Um, so I mean that goes throughout the there's I mean, there's just page after page of those questions.

Okay, um, and if I may, I think they said Tassian was on Zoom.

Um, do y'all see her?

Uh Tasian Quavalone, I think she's just in our meeting last night.

Yeah, yeah.

She's on the zone now.

So, we're not to her section yet.

I'll I'll turn we'll promote her.

One of the areas I've noticed not in there is financial literacy and things like that.

Um, I'm not sure where to put it, but there's nothing about that, and that is something that's been sorely lacking in the US, but especially in the African American community.

Understanding how money works, what to do with money.

Um, so that tends to be something that's sorely lacking.

I'll see if I can find a place to plug it in there.

But it is I have not seen it in anywhere of the reports and any of the other information I've looked at.

I wanted to add that when we had our meeting last week that we kind of went over the executive summary of some of the items, and we tagged those for what we thought could use a little bit or color.

Um, but after some discussion, I think we decided that we weren't gonna make the recommendation.

So for the executive summary um in certain parts, it discusses our listening session and um sorry, long form surveys and um a remain uh uh and in numerous places, the surveys are quoted verbatim, but it's not attributed to person that just says a respondent, and my initial suggestion was that we kind of identify what type of respondent it was, but after kind of working it out in committee, I think we decided we would just leave it out was sense that people maybe need more time with the document and um reviewing some of the sections because I I'm um section five in particular recommendations all 43 remember where you all submitted the forms to all 43 um concepts and ideas were submitted with the you know proposed actions implementation consideration when the committees submitted the forms and then individuals submitted the forms that was the 43 forms that were submitted and all of those are included in that section and so and I remember Brennan I was trying to do a um control find I remember you submitted that on your form yeah that financial um literacy section so I was like so I think it's gonna be in one of the forms um that we sorted through but wanted to give some time for folks otherwise you know we can move on to some other parts and then come back to this if we have time at the end but I just make sure you all understood how the report was formatted expectation of you having an opportunity to provide input because the May 15th is a definitive deadline um for the report and so I am gonna you know supposed to gather comments um then and the action item is that we are um committing to provide our last comments by the 15th and we can move on and come back or what's the right thank you so I also brought this up I think in committee so for uh draft version one I want to make sure I'm in the right section at page 12 there's the partners and engagement and I was just noticing that not every partner that we worked with is listed so I just felt that if we wanted to make we can do just a pass um and see if we wanted to add any additional partners to make sure that everybody who supported us throughout the commission gets recognition in the in the paper.

Were there some uh partners that you know off the top of your head that listed yes so definitely alpha phi alpha um I don't see oh I do see Pilgrim okay um and CBW which is National Coalition of 100 black women um we had the uh myself I don't see NAACB South Oakland I mean South Hayward branch listed um is I don't see Commissioner Knowles's people is it Russell City is it called the specific name of the is it a coalition alliance uh that what's it in property justice or yeah commission justice commission yeah Russell City repaired Russell City sorry um I know there's more I'm drawing a blank right now but though there are you're right if people could take a look at page 12 so thank you because I also uh Kingmaker also I had listed the key about Alabama County Juvenile Hall School of Policyboard.

Did the harms report with this?

I thought was missing um I was curious what about our facilitators like Tracy Webb.

So we have a we have a consultant section, right?

Oh, I thought wasn't ECC and coming change lifted up?

CC.

I didn'm going to say a vendor.

Okay.

Should we add a vendor page?

Oh, absolutely.

Thank you, Alan, for lifting that up.

Yes.

Vendors, consultants.

Listed.

Sherry Gore.

As um Commissioner Knowles has pointed out.

This is Alabama County juvenile hall.

We have Alabama County Juvenile Hall.

I think Alabama juvenile hall where you can kind of why reach.

So those are great if people could now I would offer this.

That was supposed to happen, and I'm sorry that Arctavia isn't here.

We were supposed to we're gonna do some outreach for the 30.

I think we were gonna work on a list.

And I'm sure Tiega's right.

There's a lot of other groups that should be mentioned here.

She has been working, you know, online and has a lot of that.

So I can speak with her, she'll hopefully be at our meeting next week.

Um, right, so I know.

Wait, but if we have a timing issue, um what we could do to shorthand that though, to do it.

We could just send that whole list to informing change.

Well, that's uh and it has community members, but we could just send the organizations to inform them.

Okay, to sharp it.

Another thing I also thought Michael was going to join us here tonight.

Was informing.

Oh, yeah, his hand is up.

Yes.

Did you want to ask?

I've been here.

Hello, everyone.

Hello.

Did you hear the comment, Michael?

That we Yeah, I feel yep, and we are that's what that's exactly what we were looking for.

We didn't assume we had everyone.

This is a list that ECC gave us, and so um, and also would like to put the I'm trying to go off.

I'm trying to put my camera on, but I don't see how to put it on.

Um yeah, so we will add um any names that you give us again.

You have the um uh Google Doc thing that you could just drop in if you just want to throw those names into that Google form.

Um, and even if it's duplicate, like if I get the same name from different people, that's good, that's totally fine.

Um, and we'll we'll add all that up, or you could send us uh as Terigore said directly.

Um if you can get that to us by Friday, that would be great.

The full list of all of the other vendors and stuff, um, and we'll add that, including ECC ourselves, um, the facilitators, etc.

And uh I I wanted to go back to an earlier comment around uh all the sort of orange um text that we had, those are just like if there's anything that really stands out to you.

We're not saying that we have to add these things, but we're we're we were on the fence about how much to add versus what not to add.

Um obviously there's more that we could always and continue to look at, but of course we have time constraints too.

So if you have specific thoughts or things that are really key and important, especially when we think about the recommendations that are listed, um, that you you would have some information to inform us about, that would be the most helpful thing to think about.

Um so don't you don't have to think about everything under the sun or just throw something in.

Um, and also heard your comment around um the financial literacy.

I did think there's something in the recommendations, but I I would need to go back to look at that.

But please make a note of that as you look through.

I am I think the other big feedback, and this can go into the Google um doc thing, uh the Google form.

Um it's just if you have any feedback on how well you see yourself in the communities you're connected to reflected in this document.

So if you really feel like, oh, I am not hearing this type of voice or this type of perspective, or this really captures the voices that we heard.

Um that would be helpful to hear to make sure that we're sort of hitting um the sound of this whole thing um correctly too.

Um that it's gonna sort of resonate as community and as you all sort of read through it.

I also make a suggestion that I'm sure at least my history of it.

Yeah, if you have to do the next two days that we might not get all the names on here, that'd be nice to have at the bottom of it.

Nice way of saying these represent groups we've worked with.

We're sorry we left something out or uh yeah, what I'm saying.

Yep, that's great.

We could do that.

Thank you.

I think the other, so in in addition to the question about like how you're seeing yourself and your communities reflected in this.

If you could also think through uh as you read this, what do you think it really needs to happen before this feels final for you?

Um so if you feel like there's something that's glaringly missing or something you really would like to see added, um, including stylistically.

Um, and we are trying to get pictures into here too.

So we're in the process of getting some of the community, the approved uh pictures added to this, and there might be some stylistic changes, but if there's anything that comes to mind for you around that stuff too, please let us know.

Again, you know, this is you know, the time crunch we have is the time crunch we have, but we are going to get everything as best as we can and make sure that all of your work is reflected in there.

I will lift up um you know the section for commendation.

The library is generous and drafted it.

We got it to President Halbert.

So they will be issuing commendations to each commissioner on June 30th.

Well, that language will as soon as we get it um I don't want to say approved, it finalized, we will have that commendation language.

The statement from commissioners, I did draft um some simple language um that I could circulate so people could mark it up or add to it, just sort of an overall statement on behalf of the commissioner.

So there's to be added.

So there is some work product in those two here.

Not sure how to circulate both of those.

Michael, do you have any idea on how?

Because we have the commandation language and we have early draft of the statement.

Yeah, this is what happens when we while you're writing.

Exactly.

I I do not know.

I think I think just distributing it separately, um and getting whatever feedback you need, and just give that to us, whatever that final thing is.

Um if you wanted to distribute it and just give us whatever has the feedback, or if you wanted to revise the feedback, we can work either way.

You are so saying, yeah, yeah.

So I that'll I'll send that language over to ECC and they could get it out tonight.

People could look at it tomorrow on Friday, because everything's due Friday.

Michael, I did find the language for playing natural literacy, it's in two different correct.

Okay, other thoughts, comments?

Yeah.

I really, you know, as a positive note, was really happy with how we honor commissioner.

Thought it was a really nice picture of him, and I like that they gave him a gave him a quote and everything.

So good job, Michael.

I'll make another comment if that's okay.

I don't want to dominate that.

So, and this is for you, Michael, but the bit of the commission as well.

So on page six, it talks about recent reparative efforts.

Um, you know, I think it's huge that California recently passed two reparations bill, SB 518 and SB 437.

One sets up the Bureau of Descendants of American Slavery and the other one does the genealogical project.

So I'll cite those for you, Michael, and I'll put them in.

And then I think it's also noteworthy that you know five other bills were vetoed.

There were 14 altogether, but five made it and were vetoed.

So in this section, I might be able to, you know, give you cite and give you resources on recent efforts because there's been in the last year, it's been quite a bit of movement.

So I'll be able to cite those bills and have it.

That'd be wonderful.

Did you want to comment on the detailing of the whole thought out there?

I think um, but I think Leo brought this up a few meetings ago.

Alameda County should be considered the tip of the spear, and that while the state vetoed, you know, didn't actually go to give some money to this stuff, the Alameda County should.

And so I don't know if you're gonna would say something like that.

You know, I don't know.

I think if you want to make a recommendation to add because that's what this section is kind of, you know, recent effort, right?

So we can add that to the recent efforts.

But I know throughout the report, there is the and I even think um Chris Barry was lifted up that we are the tip of the spear and our efforts so it's cited.

Okay, yeah.

I'm thinking of you know, because it cites, right?

It's like Russell City 12 or six, six, yes.

It cites Russell City, it's like some of the other policy things that are happening, and so thought it would be good to put in those bills and put to the main national heads guidelines, and similarly, we could add the exactly those uh we could add San Francisco.

Yeah, that they got that five million dollar fund set up.

Recently, um so uh, you know, we'll send that along and I'll I'll probably use the Google Doc is best right because that case it's easier to do.

Oh, and Deborah, if I can add one other thing that I know is still working for the system is um Isaac Bryan's bills to get the close if they receive that one too.

It's it doesn't pass yet.

Okay, it's out of the Senate, and it went to it hasn't passed yet.

Okay, it's not to the governor's desk.

And there we could do that till the cops go home.

Okay, fingers crossed it'll get there.

I hope so.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Comment.

Oh I'm sorry, I'm just gonna say one last thing in this way.

When we get the DAR, we'll skip me.

One last thing that we picked up on DAR is on page 27 and 28.

We did realize that they we have all of our listening sessions and well, not all, but we have listening sessions and and I guess pop-ups listed.

So what we're gonna do is there was some missing data.

So we're gonna make sure that we fill in um if it's an official listening session, we're gonna list that versus if it was a pop-up and we're gonna make sure each of the districts gets their um I guess props for when they hosted it.

So that's just another place that we just needed to add in some information.

The newest version they put LS.

So they put listening session.

I think they may have they're gonna say this.

That's the yeah, if Wallace says that, but the highlight we did do all five districts, and that just needs to be highlighted.

LS might not might not highlight that anyway.

Anyway, yeah, and there's still a few question marks, but yeah, that's the you're right, they did put it.

On the late latest version.

We did add it.

The first one it has question on the date for Alan Temple.

Pilate listening session.

I just have that.

Can somebody add it?

Maybe 17th.

Maybe we should check.

Somebody just to add it, though.

Yes.

I'm chatting some of these things down, but please also, yeah.

If you submit it and see it, just add it just in case it's not.

So we do make sure somebody can.

Well I need it burning.

Um yeah, how about May 17th?

2025.

Yes.

Because otherwise it'd be the future.

The pilot and future.

So what district was that?

District six.

So four.

Five.

Five or four.

District four for Alameda County.

Maybe five.

Yeah, that's like it.

So on page seven, um, Michael, in the inequality and discrimination section.

Um you did lift up the Deering family who had the um uh the Freedmont home, and that was well documented.

Shout out to the library of Piedmont who did all that excellent work.

Um, but they also had some wonderful citations on the Klu Klux Clan convenings in out in Oakland and Piedmont.

So I'll forward you um those citations because I think that'd be compelling to put in here that the Google's plan gathered.

I do at least we have images and document media, that case newspaper reports um that they were convening in Alameda County.

So I had that flux plan citing.

Okay, uh, here's one I definitely want to ask the group.

So on page nine, it talks about the commissioners and it lists us by districts.

Um I wanted to list commissioners that also served that who left.

So I wanted to add um CJ.

I can Carolyn, Carolyn Johnson, who served from 24 to 25, Lori Cox who served from 24 to 25.

Stevens, who was very briefly at 2024, um, so that and then behind those of us who have served, then put the years, so you can see, you know, that it was more than just us 15.

Where is that page?

Nine nine.

So then you can see the others who you know were at the beginning, and if we put the date in parents, uh then you could see folks, yeah.

That's a suggestion that I'm putting on the floor though, because that would if I put it in here, I don't want to assume everybody wants to do that, and I don't want informing change to have to make that decision.

So what do y'all think about adding former commissioners?

I think everyone who has had a touch point should be listed.

Well, Lori Carolina Vicky.

Uh-huh.

My only question is would they then receive a commendation too, or is it just gonna be in this part?

Yeah, there's 13 of them.

So it's a lot of commendations.

I might ask after them.

I might ask.

I'm not a bad that's not a bad ass.

Okay, so so that and then so then Michael, I'd have a little bit different language, it says as of this report publication, which I understand why commissioners are.

I would suggest deleting that, and I will have some language we recognize and dedicate this report to all of those who have served as commissioners of ATRC past president, who time expertise and commitment made it possible.

They will list everybody by the date.

Okay, so that was the other suggestion I had.

Um, we just keep going, please.

Okay, okay, I have a quote to put in.

Okay, um, so on page 10, so this is the other two.

We do talk about the our budget for the half a million dollars and the percentage.

I would like to see the dollar amounts there as well.

So, you know, if it's 60% for me, I naturally start to do the math with 60% of it.

So we just put the dollars alongside with the percentage, and I'll work with um Taika or not Tadika, um Alicia.

I think a pie chart, you know, would be nice too, uh, just as a visual so you can see how we spent our money, and then later in the document, I think it also has the county's budget, so same thing.

I appreciate the percentages, but I think adding the dollar amounts would be good.

So that was one that we are considering because some of the money isn't all spent, so it was then gonna have to be the dollars currently spent, and then it also shows different things.

So, you know, remember that the chart um that vice chair showed during the ad hoc meeting.

Um, so this was to sort of sort of simplify that, so it wasn't trying to break down this is a lot spent, this is left over given this time.

We don't completely know, so yeah, that I think that's just a decision.

I think it just give us some clarity about how you want that breakdown and what those numbers, what the numbers you want us to put into there, yeah.

Uh for me, this is a discussion about budget and actuals.

I'm not trying to show budget versus actual and a variant.

So if we're taking 60% of something, I would say the 500,000, the whole budget amount.

I wouldn't try to do an actual versus budget amount, just do 60 percent of 500,000, 14% of 500,000.

So it adds up to the total number.

And Michael, I'll send you some updated categories.

You want to add more categories?

No, change uh oh the names, the names, because I would okay.

So I I'll send you an updated chart that uh it's still in the same buckets, but it's a little bit more easier to digest.

If someone was to look at the different areas of expenses that we uh curver the last year.

That'll be wonderful.

Thank you.

That's huge.

Oh, on page 10 is also the the comment by Artavia.

This this community is the tip of the spear.

So back on the if that could be uh that could be raised up earlier.

Um make a recommendation.

No, I'm I'm I'm not gonna do much about this, but uh, that's the comment I wanted to see it.

Um I'm trying to be sensitive to to the full, no, to the so Michael and and commissioners.

Um, so on page 11, it starts with the commission is an example of others to follow.

It says Oakland and Alameda stature as a historic home of African American power movements, blah blah blah.

I want to be sensitive if we're gonna lift up Oakland, then I want to be careful that we lift up other cities, you know, if we lift up payward or if we lift up Capital Valley, I just if we're gonna do it in one place, and so I kept looking for that and I didn't.

So then I was wondering, is it easier to remove Oakland, even though it is the center of American African American power movement?

Um, or maybe just cite the Black Panther Party as opposed to a city.

So I I want to be fair to all the cities.

I know I feel like I'm splitting hairs, but I want to be sensitive.

I mean, we could say Alameda County is the center of like the black Power movement and just leave it at that type of thing.

Is that what you say?

Yeah, or Commissioner Bailey.

No, we're just saying single, lifting up, are we lifting up Oakland touch?

I think the point was to lift up the Black Pop the Panthers and they are from Oakland.

And so that was well, we could just say Black Panther party and like let's do that.

Okay.

Is that better of Supervisor Bylley?

Then say it open.

That's an observer.

Oh, there it is.

So on page on page 17, then is um the Alamini County departments and budgets, and this one I the dollar amount there are percentages.

And so maybe that's where I got the where I got the appropriation stuff.

It wasn't how it was spent, it was how it was appropriate.

So that I like that chart a lot.

I just wanted to uh affirm that Michael.

Um the rest of it is um no, no, I'm sorry.

If like I said, I got the three-quarters of the I'm I didn't get through all of our 43 recommendations, which is putting to the stuff people already submitted.

Um so that part I'm just trusting was what you all inputted, and here's our 43 things, so those were the things some some of the others are more like, are we doing my uh go ahead, Commissioner Jones?

Are we uh past the point where we can kind of expand on a recommendations that we've submitted or are we just now going through this for editorial purposes?

Oh no, you absolutely can put content.

Well, you absolutely can put content in.

That's the point.

Like if you have like me citing the new bills, I'm actually gonna cite a resource and put and offer some language.

So if it's a section, so it's still located at it out for a little bit of language.

Yes, yes, good.

In a sec, you know, in a section.

Now if you are wanting to change something, then you we'd want the rest of the commission to see it, but we'll we'll we'll let um everybody submit it on the 15th.

Starting the 16th, I know Michael and his team are going to consolidate.

Um so if there are any questions that you know there's inconsistency, but this is the time to get any content in that supports the framework that it's sitting here.

That makes sense.

Can I also add that as opposed to changing the format or structure?

Yeah, so it's it's not about really changing the format or structure, but I think if there is like a substantial change, um so language tweaks, adding some new language or or lines in, I think is is gonna be totally fine.

I think if you do feel like something's not sitting right and you really want to like, especially I'm picking the recommendations themselves.

So the ones that are more detailed at the the very last chapter, uh chapter five.

Um if you if there is like a language thing in there that you're like, oh, I really want to take out this recommendation or I really want to add this recommendation.

Please feel free to do that.

And I think what we will try to do is compile any of those big changes and get that out to you.

ASAP, um probably like Tuesday or Wednesday of oh, yeah.

So this is this week.

Next week, um, to all of you.

I don't I don't know how we'll do that.

We'll we'll talk with you, um Chair Gore, maybe figure out like what's the best way of doing that.

Um, but if there is anything like that, I I don't want to shut off somebody putting that in, but I just wanted to make sure that that's okay, I guess.

And if we're doing the comments in the SharePoint, you're going to be able to look at those.

Exactly.

So we're gonna do we're gonna look at the PDF, we're gonna look at the um Google Docs, we're gonna compile all of it.

That's all on us to pull together.

Comments in the SharePoint because it's a little bit easy, yeah.

Okay, these are fine.

Um the other stuff.

Oh, yep.

It's a question of procedure.

Um who is in charge of the um the Google form, is it uh informing change?

All of it goes to informant change.

Yeah, it goes to us, it's us.

Um so most of the fields for chapter four aren't editable.

So I'm looking at the form.

So if someone has comments for those sections, that would be difficult.

Are the sorry you talk about the um if uh the feedback form that doesn't?

They forgot to add the your answer sections to each of them.

Oh, got it.

Okay, we will I'll I'll make sure we have that by tomorrow morning.

Yeah, so chapter four, pretty much all of it, and then uh start of chapter of chapter five and the start of chapter two.

Okay, thanks for noticing that.

I'll make sure by tomorrow morning it it should be open.

Um please feel free to um email me if if it's not if you try to access it.

Commissioner saw small for that question.

Okay, your number one.

Um okay, so that then is the so what I wanted the reason I have it listed as an action item to confirm that commissioners will all get their comments edits home, you know, like um I appreciate um that Michael is saying if there's something that's missing that you don't think we're hitting the note, please please please add that.

So I just want to motion that we are confirming that commissioners will submit all their comments and everything by the same.

Um the motion, second, second, yeah.

Commissioner, Commissioner Bazo.

All right, Commissioner Barry, excuse me, Commissioner Dones, Commissioner Gaden, Chair Gore, Commissioner Gardner, Commissioner Hirsken, excuse Commissioner Johnson, Commissioner Knowles, Commissioner McClendon, Commissioner Sans, Commissioners come on.

Commissioner Barlan.

Commissioner triplet, excuse motion passed.

Okay.

Locking it in.

Oh, I lost your hand.

Okay, so the next is the four priorities.

Um so the handout is this memorandum that I had sent to the ad hoc committee.

Um we have presented to ad hoc.

Um Commissioner Barker and Vice Chair, and then um we can.

Um, and at that point, you know, we had presented the whole thing, the whole starting in December, all the way through through the Harms report, through the budget process, through the listening sessions, through the feedback, and then met again with the uh supervisors.

And we had a conversation about narrowing everything down to one to two references, and in fact, after we talked through um with the commission, we're going to keep our report the way it is, but we do have four priorities that we want to take action on.

So the first page of this memo then outlines those priorities, are also quite frankly our talking points for how we want them what if we continue.

So the first is they gotta receive and accept the action.

Like that the stage one, we got it done, they have to receive it and accept it, but then I didn't I'm using priority now to not get confused with the recommendations from our 12 recommendations to now our our priorities.

Because if we had recommendations, it'd be like which recommendations are you talking about?

So the distinction is here's our priority and our four talking points.

So the second was language that was you know bridging the gap and preventing delays, right?

We had this the phone.

So it's just yeah, um so in talking with yesterday at the listening session, like you know, bridging the gap and preventing delays was literally what happens next after the commission, what happens next after that hop committee, what you know, and we don't want delays.

So then you hear from the folks who are at the listening um uh listening subcommittee.

Um we embellished it with you know establish a permanent committee, so book and ad hoc to committee, and then phase two of the commission, and then have community voice there through a community advisory, so that's our second priority.

So is that this is not on here what we said.

New memo has it.

Is that the old memo?

The new memo.

Um on the back table.

Yeah, no, it is it is established permanent committee, phase two commission committee advisory council.

That's what we said, yes.

Yes, yes, okay.

Sure, we're okay with it.

So that's why you got us around.

Okay, um, okay.

So then um, and then let me just finish and then we can just open up those.

Then, you know, our third priority is create equity alignment.

Which is Michael, I am gonna add that to the report.

I thought we, in the section of the reparations commission, I did think we missed this opportunity to canvas or otherwise survey some of the equity work being done in the county.

Um, because then we could have seen some of the allies we have.

So I'm gonna add some language to that section of things we could have we might have missed.

Right, but we're not missing it on our priority three.

We want then to do this alignment with the departments and the agencies, um, board commission and committees, so that we do see where the champions and the allies are, um, as creating a baseline to work from, and then the last one is operationalizing.

Um maybe you say it, Brandon, because you can't say that word.

Reparations within the county.

Now I thought you were gonna add some bullet points here, meaning the office of equity is where we think the home should be, but until that gets set up and staff meaning a director, right?

We need to sit in the library, and the library has generously offered to continue to be that placeholder, right?

So now we're telling the county you gotta operationalize it, and I wanted to lift up that operationalizing is county language, right?

If we use some other flowery language, it'll be like, I didn't know what they meant.

Then they then we that's what we are telling.

Uh, and we could put some bullets like we did the other ones where it's like library and then office of equity or something.

Right, but the library until a transition period, until it's able to transition into there, not on the foot, but it's in here.

Oh, it's no, it's in the memo part, but when we came to the right, yeah.

That the that okay, so let me open it up to a floor because that is what we're gonna ask to be our action items on June 30th.

So it's not reworking the report to get it down.

So Michael, the section that you have, what are the one or two recommendations?

That whole concept is gone.

We're gonna submit the report in the format we have it.

Okay.

And then we're gonna articulate these four priorities and get a vote on that day.

So, I guess my question, or maybe it's a submission is are we going to have a dress rehearsal, or maybe we're doing it now after how this will be advanced to the board, um, these four priorities.

I mean, like is Chair Gore gonna say, you know, like during our yeah, or ad hoc.

Yeah.

Would it be done at ad hoc or will we do it on the thirtieth in front of everyone?

We do have an ad hoc committee on the 27th of May, which gives us our June 12th meeting if we trust rehearsal or you know, and we will have gotten feedback from the ad hoc supervisors that we could bring to the call.

But you know, it's subcommittee meetings too, we could be like basically run a show that day.

We have to do a presentation.

We have an hour plus presentation and we gotta get that down to 20 minutes.

Then we gotta get our asks in.

Then we gotta let y'all come up to the, you know, I would hope every commissioner would come up and say something.

Let's say on behalf of the district you're representing.

So by the time you script that, I think we want to be inside of 45 50 minutes or or less if we if we need to give some QA to the board of supervisors.

So we could do that run a show in uh but we could definitely be working on it through the subcommittees.

Sure.

Wouldn't this be a what's the word I'm looking for?

Oh no.

I'll make one other discussion that we would have in the one-on-one with our.

I would think that'd be more appropriate to extending the time and dragging our feet, sending the come directly to the point with the supervisor.

These are the four things we're looking at and want to support and that you support.

It's both either or not being new i in no way will this be the first time a supervisor's hearing it.

Right.

Yeah.

And if they heard it from you all, and then Larry and I circle back, and then like they will have heard it three or four times so that they're comfortable with it and act on.

And why would there need to be QA from the four supervisors if we've seen them that many times?

That's my question.

It's a public meeting.

Okay.

We can't take just like you can't take action outside of your meeting.

We collectively couldn't take action outside of, and if we have questions, we want to make sure the public has the benefit of that understanding of the record.

Publicly, etc.

etc.

etc.

Yeah.

We won't c you know, even if all of you meet with each of us independently, we can't uh collectively say we endorse this.

Okay outside of the official public meeting.

And that's why I'm not in politics.

Thank you.

It makes sense.

One other thing.

Excuse me for jumping in.

Um, then I talked with Deborah about all this.

Submitting your action plan and getting it accepted is important, but uh the reason we're saying ex get the board to accept it is because your action plan is so much in it.

There's no way in the world we'll be able to adopt it that day.

Yes, we're gonna have to go back.

That's why thanks to you know, in your recommendations, you're giving us the ability to look at this and then operationalize it over time.

Is it possible?

Let's just ask the question directly now, these four points that we've just come up with.

Is that gonna be acceptable on the 30th?

I think it's okay yeah you really think I would put this on here if I didn't think it's well that's my Ts and not my eyes.

I'm not putting some more Deborah I'm sorry was that were those four four points um included in a packet because yeah in the email from the clerk okay for look for a piece of email and it's the links it's also linked to the it's linked oh it's linked in the agenda okay I'll go get it again is such an option yeah you should have it sometimes that's confusing you get it multiple times but yes it is so the motion on this is that we're accepting this section plan as well so uh I think it's more conversation I don't want to have a there's no discussion on that one of the second will this be included in the the report as I mean how how does this show up it's a separate item it's not in the report it's like a document we a separate document we could share.

We're just trying to get them to do something.

Yeah we're trying to get them to take action yeah I have I guess I have one addition and I feel like I might be too late with it but I still feel that there just needs to be this um effort to um make sure that people understand the cost and the fiscal impact of you know of the inequality and you know the um fact that it's real but it's often overlooked and it just seems to me that you know we we we um have to make the case and the rationale for why all these things should be adopted and why it's in everybody's best interest not just you know like I said and I thank you for you know in the in the draft of the document elevating I in a really effective way I think some of the points that I made and others made um but I still think that that's an important piece because you know again if if my status as an aggrieved person or party had any ability to raise you know people to the point where they feel like it's it's okay to to make restitution um I probably would have been much wealthier than I am now by now but um it just seems to me that we we have to prioritize you know making sure that the public understands the cost of inequality better than they do.

So that is lifted up in the report specifically page five you are cited oh yeah yeah as that you know that it's not just moral and ethical imperative this the whole concept that you know move from punitive capitalism to um removing the punitive to move it to investment and how it lifted community I think it's literally in our um our mandate envision section.

So you might want to take a look at it.

Yeah I I I will.

I just I guess what I felt.

It was I was I was light on or if it was light on but was then embellish it.

I would definitely say actual suggested steps yeah that should be should be taken.

And that's what I'm gonna be submitting.

Thank you.

That'd be great.

Great.

No, this before this gentleman was.

Oh no, he was, yeah, no.

It was something else, isn't it?

Yeah, I just wanted to say, because um I think the library will work with you on this board letter that'll be submitted will actually list you know your recommendations.

So even though I think if somebody said what the recommendations be in the report, recommendations don't necessarily have to be in the report, the report your action plan is one recommendation.

And continuing the um, you know, making the ad hoc committee permanent is another recommendation.

Uh convening uh an advice, so those are all specific letter, yes, four letters.

Spell that out.

It's clear to the board what you're asking the board to vote on that.

Okay, that's gonna be different from the preface because I know that Dara is gonna work on that, so I'm gonna make sure to we don't have to do it.

Well, I understand this report is updated.

Item one.

So the tighter we get item one hundred pages is item one.

So the preface and all of this is in the screen, sorry.

Yeah.

Okay, so we were we were trying to have a motion.

Motion, go ahead.

Uh I think we're more comments.

Sorry.

So on page 10.

Um I would just strike that table.

As opposed to adding the round figures from the dollar amount.

I'm sorry.

And of the memo.

Oh, okay.

We're about to vote on that, right?

Yep, yeah.

Well, so here's we did we wanted to include your structure.

Yes.

And it looking at the minutes, it was a little, you know.

So I don't want to, I don't want to actually take it out.

Maybe if it needs a little work.

It needs a lot of work.

Well, so I just went from the minutes of the meeting.

Um, and so I would you would rather strike it, but I'd rather keep it in.

I mean, just need to help.

But even if it's struck, that doesn't mean we can't use the here or three options, yeah.

Keep it as is.

I think that's a bad idea.

I do too.

Um, put in something that more adequately reflects what I was trying to communicate.

Okay.

Or see you just remove it.

So the third thing is the easiest thing.

We're gonna vote on it now.

Second thing requires work.

First thing again, I think it's a bad idea.

But who would be the way that it is right now?

Is in coherent.

Who would do the second thing?

I don't think it can be done by Friday, and I think we're gonna use it anyway.

And so it's best to just remove it.

I mean I can do it, but I can't do it in minutes.

Well you have Friday 48 hours.

No, no, if it's not doable.

No, I mean I okay.

Well, if it's by if it's in 48 hours, that that's that's doable.

Oh by the 15th.

Okay.

Like, as it is now, this I don't think this helps answer.

Yeah, does it make the point you were trying to make?

Yeah.

So I appreciate that.

Uh so if we remove it now and then wait for an addendum item to bring later.

So we can prove this now with strike this, we'll prove it now, and then you make a motion with an amendment and the amendment to this.

We have a motion to and a friendly amendment to um update, revise or remove and add this section.

Okay, that works.

You got work to do.

Oh, granted, you can do it now.

Okay, so uh so the friendly amendment, so I think we need a new that we have amendment to the motion, please.

Did you make a motion?

We didn't make a motion, yeah.

Exactly.

Oh, I thought there was okay.

Okay, so now we need a motion.

And with the revise the possible processing tools, each 10 of them.

So that's the motion.

I'm so moved.

Uh so whatever, uh to second motion.

Okay.

No, you have a second.

And what are we gonna do with this exactly?

We're gonna revise it and revise.

Remove and rebut.

You want from the top.

So I'm gonna try I can I can try my hand at it.

So I think the motion is to approve the memo as uh circulated with the caveat that we will be removing a table from page 10 to be amended and updated by Commissioner Small by Friday for the visitor.

Yeah, okay.

Okay, then it'll be clear.

Commissioner's beginning.

All right, commissioner Barry, excuse the listener jones.

Commissioner Gaiden, hi, or Gardner, all right.

Excuse Commissioner Johnson, Commissioner Knowles, Richard McLendon.

All right, commissioner fast, commissioner small, commissioner trip, let me please wait for our number two.

Okay, so uh we got enough.

Okay, so now oh, thank you.

So um my uh Taya for Tassian for being so patient and thank you, Daika for making the motion.

Um could we elevate um and then this this will be our community engagement process moving forward?

We can put in a campaign.

June 30th.

Oh, she said she's online.

Um, did she hide herself?

Sometimes you do hide yourself, huh?

It doesn't show up.

She's gotta turn her screen on something or you should have to do it.

Okay.

There she has her hands.

So we're gonna elevate you, and then if you want to share your screen, that would be great, and you could walk the commission through our community engagement process.

Okay, I'm setting, I'm connecting it now.

It's not letting me can you hear me?

Share the one.

Okay, everyone.

There was a new one.

Oh, not this.

Can you hear me?

Yeah.

You can't share, can she not share her screen?

Because we we literally have a I should be able to.

I'm trying to do it right now.

If not, I could try.

Um, I think I'm gonna be fine.

Let's see.

Share um documents.

This is interesting.

It's not bringing up my document.

But I think I might be able to share my just in general.

My um or uh Larry or I could do it.

Um you want us to do it for you, and then you could just say let's see.

Can you like see?

I can see your campus.

We see your whole desktop.

Okay, can you see?

Yeah, it's only allowing me to share the desktop, it's not letting me share a specific thing, but this is fine.

I can do it this way, okay.

Um, so yes, first, let me thank you all for just allowing the Kwamaleli Group to support you.

My name is Tasian Carmelely.

I am the founder and principal consultant of the Kwamalele Group.

Um, just for background, because I know Deborah had me provide that before.

I have done 12 plus years working in the in the Bay Area, doing communications and public affairs and PR related work um from our current mayor.

When she was the comp when she was in Congress.

I was her communications manager for the district to working in the private sector to move forward major development projects.

So that is the foundation of the Kwamaleli Group where we love PR working with entertainment spaces, working in external affairs spaces, which is to show the right message is hitting at the right moment um to have the right impact.

That is something that we 100% value.

So again, thank you for this opportunity to work with the ACRC.

Thank you to Tiaga for her continued support and sponsorship, and to Deborah for her support along this way, as well as Aaron from the library has been a generous resource and support through this process.

Um I'm just gonna walk through this reparations toolkit.

I met with Deborah.

We had a great conversation about the direction and where the commission is going.

Um, and so I thought it was important that though this is a commission, you can use all of the stakeholders that you have been able to really rally together from November until now to kind of move this initiative forward, um, where we want everybody to, we want this moment to count and we want them to show up on 6 30 at the super the Board of Supervisors meeting.

And so the toolkit will include five things, which is one why June 30th matters, who should be in the room ready to share messaging that has been drafted based upon the plan and the analysis that um the president has prepared and is submitting.

There's an email letter template as well as a link to campaign graphics that we have created to support and elevate the messaging, the ready to share messaging.

Um, so why June 30th matters?

You guys know this, but for the toolkit, it's simple after over two and a half years of gathering research and receiving input from local, state, and national, this is the rewards of the nine months of community listening sessions.

Um, this is we want them to support the final draft action plan, and we've created this toolkit to support it.

Um who should be in the room.

So one of the things that Deborah said was knowing sure we have our community partners, faith leaders, local business leaders, um, but ensuring that Alameda County residents, you guys have done amazing work elevating the work of the entire county.

And so we say Alameda County residents, but ensuring that people don't know they know that their city is listed, and this is why they should be there June 30th.

Um, one of the key things of a toolkit for those that have never used it, it makes it simple for stakeholders, partners to say, I'm gonna copy this draft messaging.

You might you might repurpose it, you might make it more personal, but the ultimate goal is to make it as simple as possible for your partners to promote and elevate the message to share across social media platforms to include information and organizational loop newsletters, announcing at local meetings, events, and then encouraging residents ultimately to attend the June 30th.

The ultimate goal is to have people packing the supervisor meeting on the 30th.

Um here you will see in the toolkit, which I shared earlier, is the draft.

This again is based off what I received from your president and your chair, based on what the message that we want to push forward.

Um, and if you select on any message, let's say you want to say I signed it.

Have you?

That is a message that a stakeholder or a partner wants to support.

If they click on that message, it takes them to a graphic that they can use that same post with the language and post that specific graphic to say, I signed up and ultimately we want you to show up 6 30.

So that's the ultimate goal is to make this as simple and functional for your everyday person.

I call it social media one on one, um, so that nobody can have a question about what's being there's a question in the room.

You said we have a president.

No, I was saying the chair of the commission.

Yes.

Okay.

Um, here's the big part.

So we initially was initially was being called a petition, but because this is a mint municipal organization, you cannot say it's a petition.

So this is a letter of support that has been drafted based upon the language and the information I have been given and the analysis.

And so the ultimate goal is to have your stakeholders, your community partners to sit take a copy of this letter and they just copy and paste it from the doc like this.

You highlight it, copying it in your you copy it, paste it in your email body, and you send it to whomever your supervisor is, or you can send it to all of the supervisors at one time.

That is the first thing we want them to do.

But the second part of it, though it says is it a petition and we're not using that, is the letter of support.

And so we have one on change.org, which will allow us to reach a larger group of people in Alameda County because we could specifically target.

Again, it is the same letter.

Ultimately, we want them to sign on.

Well as well.

So it's basically a two-for-one.

There are some people that will send the letter and won't do anything else.

There are other people that will say, I'm gonna sign on to change.org, and then that will be their way of supporting, and then there will be a group that will actually do both.

We want them to do both, but if they did either, ultimately, we are increasing our numbers, and so that is where our language, when you go back to the social media post, it is encouraging them to not only show up but to sign on to the letter of support.

And finally, which I've already kind of tapped into is our campaign graphics.

You've seen one of them, but again, it gives you a list of the camp, it gives you a link to the campaign graphics.

Also, it tells you to tag the page, and most importantly, ensuring that the main campaign hashtag or used, which is ACRC, Justice is local, and show up 630 because that is where we want people to show up and support.

Um, again, if you click on the link, it has a list of various graphics.

Here's one that is just showing that this is a historic moment for Alameda County.

This is another one, two different ones that says I signed it, and then another one that's like save the date.

So there's like eight or nine, another one that came from the data that um that Deborah gave me that shows like the systemic card prior and the vision for the repair since all of the meetings, and that's all based upon the data that you guys have captured and reported.

So I will stop there, Deborah.

If there are any questions, I'm happy to answer them.

I did I was able to send the updated toolkit to um a core group that I had their emails um for it to be forwarded, but ultimately this will be up in that it's a Google Drive folder that allows anyone with that link to access it from the toolkit to the press release that has already been drafted that will be going out to our media partners, and then all of the graphics as well to support the work that's being done and to support the campaign that will kick off most likely by Friday, we'll start initiating some of our advertisement and things of that nature to build momentum.

So, yes, that is it, and I'm happy to answer any questions that may have arose.

We as commissioners push out.

Yes, and I will say while if somebody has questions, I'm sorry to butt in.

I will thank um uh commissioner varlac, who always supports and reshares content on Instagram as well as Commissioner McClendon, they are two of my top commissioners on Instagram.

And I want to say on Facebook, I want to say it's Commissioner Gardner that I always see sharing content and posting.

Um, so yes, that is within that first 30 minutes to an hour, not only the repost, but the comments and the likes are critical to the algorithm moving things forward, and so I've seen things that we've posted because of those initial likes and comments that have moved to like 6,000 views in a matter of an hour to when we don't have that, where it's only 30 people that have reached it.

So again, you guys are your biggest supporters, and there's like I think like 15 of you.

If all 15 of you liked posted, re-posted and commented on a post that came up, the way the algorithm will move that is astronomical.

So but again, I wanted to thank those commissioners for their continuous in integration and support and engagement with the content that we're sharing.

Well, let's open it up to the floor for questions.

Okay, repeat.

Prince repeat.

I guess my only comment will be, first of all, to just say it's passing on this is amazing.

I just love this.

It's so just dope.

I love the colors and everything.

I was just wondering, and I know that we have some staff here from the different supervisors' office, and one of our supervisors will just go to the supervisors for their newsletters and things like that, or yes.

So I have asked, I have a list of just external, like a group that I have in my own wheelhouse, but I have also asked um Commissioner Gore to provide me with a list of the point of contacts for the stakeholders that you've you've constantly been engaged with, so that this can be shared robustly.

But yes, this will go to the commissioners.

Um I mean to the supervisors for their office to share.

Thank you.

And the reason this is an action item so that we are people are comfortable with this content, and uh, as best you can.

Um try and work, and then uh, you know, I just lift it up uh for those of us who might be more just email oriented, even though this I can't paste it.

If it's just email, then you can grab the language that's on there, attach a PDF and send it, you know, by email.

So you don't have to do all the fancy stuff.

Um, but at least if you get on a social, just hit that like button.

You comment, hit that like button comment.

Um, because we're you know, she'll be doing the back engine stuff and you'll see that stuff, especially I sign the I signed and you send I signed, and it'll other people I'm like, oh, I need to sign, I need to sign.

That's right.

So I need a motion that we are accepting this campaign packet.

I have a question, yeah.

Tatiana, what um social media channel should we focus on, or what gives us the greatest reach?

I will say this.

LinkedIn is the hardest social media channel.

Um, we just over the last week, over the last two weeks, I've seen more like organic growth, but that one has moved a lot slower than the others.

So I would say Facebook and Instagram are the platforms that have been the most beneficial to the council, I mean to the commission to like spread messaging organically and paid.

Um, so I would say focus on Instagram and Facebook.

However, if you have a LinkedIn and you also are able to like and repost and share the content, that is extremely important as well because that breaks through that algorithm struggle that we are going against with this content.

I think it's not just that the work is not amazing, it's not that we don't have content that's not engaging, the topic is also very divisive, right?

And so people are either for it or they're against it, and so we have to work through that narrative with how we present content, how we engage people.

So the core group is really critical to like pushing that narrative over the hump.

So making sure that we don't like and comment on each other's others.

Yeah, do it from the AC AC commission, AC reparations page, reparations commission.

You should be liking it and reposting it from their specific post.

That's easy.

I honestly I feel like if you're doing it from Instagram, it's usually easy, it's gonna always lead you to that original post.

Facebook can kind of make you share someone else's post, which is the original post, but you're still, for example, I'm gonna use their names because I know them very well.

Um, just Tiaga shares it on Facebook and now I'm sharing something, but I'm sharing Tiega's post, even though the original post is the the reparations commission, it still shows that I shared Tiaga's post.

So you just want to ensure that you are going to the original post on the commission's page and sharing it from there.

Yeah, that's a good be putting it on the website, you know, so people want to be directed there, and then um we um bar Barry Registry is gonna do a small little campaign for us.

They have like 60,000 folks on their newsletter, so we we will uh a little bit of kind of ideas.

But it's really gonna be this court group that has to have it out.

And are we?

Sorry, do we have anything that we know about like how we took over Black Joy?

Do we have anything for Juneteenth that we can potentially have maybe paper flyers to give out or QR codes that's how people come to on a third 6 30 show at 6 30?

We have not.

Oh Hayward has a Juneteenth, but I'm not gonna be here on Juneteenth.

That's the only uh also for your calendar.

Another good event is Lake Fest.

Um that happens the sun the Saturday before the meeting on the 27th.

I'm only mentioning that because that also is another client of mine.

However, if that is something that the commission wanted to ensure they had a table or something at, I would be willing to uh work to ensure that you guys have space.

One calling.

No, it's a great um, some matter if somebody has to leave the Freddy.

Is there a list of June teen festivals that is going on right now?

I know we're there.

An actual list, then we can maybe can I mean I would be able to I could contact the the people you know who's ever running it and see if we could send the media out to them.

Yeah, if you have a list of them or if you want to send me June T festivals, I can call them a list.

Maybe they are in register.

I mean, I just look like I follow a lot of people on Instagram, so um, I know your folks probably have something right to Freemont people who had the thing.

Oh, they're called a free my people, but uh yeah, the trusty uh african American Cultural.

They rarely do a June team festival.

There's other than one, and we and you know, even better if you know who the organizer is or the organization that we can reach out to them.

I I'll be willing to do that.

So I'm looking it up right now.

I um I appreciate the lifting it up.

I think it's maybe Commissioner Recommending.

Okay, so are we here's here's a list of them in the elevator county?

Okay, okay.

Yeah, send it over to my point off people want to do something or know somebody who's doing something.

Okay, so I still need a motion on whether this campaign we are going to engage with and make a motion to approve the campaign package uh as is and with the commitment that we will uh reshare and use what's in the campaign.

I second it.

Commissioner Brazil, all right.

Commissioner Barry, excuse Commissioner Jones, Commissioner Verner, all right, Commissioner Gaydon, hi, Chair Gore.

Commissioner Johnson, Commissioner Knowles, Commissioner McClendon, all right, Commissioner Sass.

Sure.

Commissioner Small.

Commissioner Triplett Excuse Commissioner Farlank.

Hi, approved.

Okay.

Okay.

So now I'm making a great time.

Uh so now for three.

Um, but we have a comment from the public.

I was just curious.

Does the commission plan on doing any uh media podcast?

For June 30th.

I can speak to that because that was also a part of the plan.

Um we do have some pitching that we've been in communication with with some of our local radio stations to actually have a sort of PSA that's running, and then some coverage that's coming based on the work that you guys have been doing.

Um in doing a uh uh like a preview story ahead of June 30th.

So yes, those stories have been pitched, they are currently being pitched, and our hope is that there is buy-in um beyond the post.

We know we can get the post, but we're trying to get a major story in either KQED or East Bay Times or SF Chronicle or Okamasai.

I would suggest you could potentially use Juneteenth to press the day or a commission to do something press media wise.

Literally June 30th, a lot of times before something comes to the board of supervisors, the day it's coming to the board of supervisors, people the press event rally or something out in front of you know the um county administration building, uh big press event.

So I'm just saying you've got maybe two good opportunities if you want to use them for press and media, yeah.

I agree, Supervisor Miley and um uh Commissioner Gore, I'm happy to support if that is something that the commission wants to do to organize some psycho pre-event press conference or something like that to rally the media for.

We can 100% build it around that as well.

Yeah, so we we are hoping that the um to have like a registration, it's gonna come through all this change.org um app we can see how many folks register to show up, right?

So we get a hundred people.

Um then we also have a second um guidelines, then we would have we would then have enough folks to have a rally, you know, 90 minutes before, give folks how to sign up to speak, give them a little paperboard talking points, so then they all, you know, we're organized to speak at the actual commission meeting.

So it it's predicated on us having the social media because that's also gonna get people to sign up to to show sign up to show up.

That's why we can't call you know show up June 30 or show up 6 30.

Um so that second step of filling the room is what this is.

Okay, yeah, because I'm just suggesting that you could use once again, yeah.

The um pausa in front of 1221 Oak Street, yes, or big, you know, press event that the day up, yeah.

So that's all I think you'd get a lot of press, I think.

We can get a turnout.

We try to get a turnout.

You gotta get a turnout.

If 10 people show up, we see 10 people registered, we're we've got no traction.

We've got a hundred people, then it's like I wanna belabor it, but just once again, um Juneteenth, you can do something right down there as a preview for June 30th.

Okay.

And on June 30th, do another big press event for what's gonna happen, the board chambers with 200 people in your agenda.

Yeah, do we have any budget for signs to mimic what Kathy I've already doing saying I show up 6 30 so we can have a photograph?

Yep, we put we did a little bit right, Larry.

Didn't we put a little budget for um collateral and publication?

We put some dollars in there.

So we definitely were thinking about the little.

Yeah, we need those.

And then we're also a part of the meeting pages we were talking about if they're at least printing it.

Send them over to me and I'll get quotes and oh, yeah.

So we put some line item in there.

I don't know what we called it for the print.

Okay, so we have print budget.

Because one place that I went, they had the report, it was linked to a QR code.

So I I would love to have the reports to give out.

I think that's a great idea.

But also you have a QR code under show up and you just click it for the report.

That's something that Tassin would uh host for us.

Okay.

It's a QR code but it's not a landscape.

You gotta land somewhere.

Well, but it can land on our website.

That is true.

That would be cool, but the report's gotta be live, though.

I don't think that's a Michael.

It gotta be live.

You know, link to the draft, but people may have one comments or something.

I I just uh I just wanna, you know, uh candor if we do the rally on the Juneteenth and the third, who's going to do that?

Well that was the point is that we would need to set up a subcommittee.

Who wanna take responsibility for it?

I think actually Miley, it's a great idea.

How we do that.

I think we need to do that.

I don't think we should follow on one committee.

I think there should be four or five people around this table that are prepared to do all the work because that's the real question.

And I'm not suggesting a committee.

I was suggesting, you know.

Well not at the end of the it's gonna take bodies.

I meant I wasn't submissive some uh suggesting the listening.

Oh, I know.

No, I'm saying it I'm saying like who one from the library, one from there, one from whatever you guys are, one from you know, and then then you can do it.

But other than that, um anyway.

Well, I think Commissioner Gardner, one thing we could think about, and we could talk about this on Wednesday, is maybe we can go through Commissioner Sassha's list that he shared, or you share whoever has a list of Juneteenth and figure out if there's already gonna be people in the vicinity.

Well, hey, come on and let's do this press release before you go do your Juneteenth, right?

So we can get people kind of that are already around the area, and I think also we can mobilize with our community partners.

So we just say okay, we need you on a 30th, but we also need you on the 19th, especially people like EYO E EOY DC, because that's the young people, you know, they might want to come out and show up.

Same thing with Kingmakers and potentially even some of the college students.

My sense is they're probably already something.

So let's yeah, let's why don't each committee talk about it.

Um, I'm I'm open to help, but I know what it would take.

I think it's a good idea.

They uh is it takes?

Yeah, because I'm not trying to give you any more work, but I think you think the 19th, it's so I don't know.

We lead you into the 30th.

Sean, yeah.

Can we add that to our something to talk about on Monday?

So we put it on to the agenda, just flesh out Juneteenth stuff.

So he's my he's my brain.

You have a brain?

Oh, right.

It's like uh so we can we'll take that um to each subcommittee to sort of volunteers within those uh so and then the last informational item was um request updates from commissioner, but in particular commissioners who want to continue to serve um for the commission 2.0.

So going from representation to implementation.

One, go to your supervisor.

If you have an interest, the supervisors are gonna go uh, you know, appoint people to that commission.

Um and so I think it was requested to see that people were you know willing to share who has interest in rolling over to the um commission two point oh.0 for good of the group, but it was asked of me to put it on the agenda.

I wanted to share if they had interest in serving on the next commission.

And also at the are we gonna roll after the the last day of the our um our appointment are we all gonna find a place to go do the keila shots?

One day, championship celebration downstairs.

No, we're doing after the 30th.

So let me just make the distinction raising your hand and say I would like to you know continue forward doesn't mean you automatically go forward.

Let me just say something too to get in my conversations with Deborah.

Yeah, um, it's not gonna be this big body.

Yes, it's gonna be a smaller body, maybe supervised and you could even recommend that as part of your recommendations, the commission be smaller body, maybe seven folks supervisor appoints a person, and then two um people are appointed at large.

So it's a seven member seven member bot body, something like that, and uh, and it once again there's gonna be a lag between you presenting this on June 30th and voting on it, and then that body being appointed.

I mean, there's gonna be a lag because it takes like when this was exactly it might take us until September to actually get the commission appointed because we'll go and recess in August, and then we won't be back for the recess until mid-September.

So we might not even have another commission operational until the fall.

But if the more you give us, the better it will be.

A follow-up commission that's got the responsibility for ensuring that the action plan has come out of all of your hard work, doesn't just sit on a shelf, but is followed up on is actualized.

Uh and that would be the role of that let's say seven member body.

I understand.

So that's why I like people can say they have interest, but I it's really at the mercy of the structure.

But I was asked to bring it up.

I'm sure if someone says they have interest, they might be appointed.

It's like, oh, you are okay.

Sorry, the other thing is we wouldn't want you to meet every month either.

Yes.

You would need to look at me when he's talking.

This isn't gonna be.

Yeah.

Maybe a quarterly and just uh things like that to follow up.

We like to have we need to have some citizens group that is ensuring that work, the CAC is actualized.

Understandable.

Okay, so if there are no we've covered the whole thing, we think it's sometime back to you.

For the good order, of course.

We only have one more meeting, the formal meeting if we do some of the other events on the Juneteenth or rally.

Obviously, we'll see each other again, but we have a time for that word that's scheduled for the um for the our presentation yet for the 30th.

Um the set item.

What the hell are you crazy?

No, this is the matter that matter for the matter as I want on the 30th.

I did we get the one o'clock, I think it's one o'clock.

I think we just heard it I didn't actually.

I'm just saying if they say one, at least we have a time to shoot for.

You know.

Yeah.

Yeah, it depends on what that's.

Yeah, so yeah, I just want a time to have time to shoot for.

I'm gonna end up, you know, the whole day, but I wanna say, well, you know, and wage it.

Remember about me and I'll give it a we are journalists, yeah.

Thank you everybody.

Thank you, thank you.

Thank you, everyone.
