Thank you.

Committee to Jones is present if I didn't get my name.

Oh thank you.

Thank you for joining Commissioner Dones.

Thank you.

Okay.

So our minutes for both the last March 18th and our special meeting are not ready yet.

So we won't be able to have approval of the minutes.

We will roll it to the main meeting.

So with that, we can have a discussion on the ad hoc committee meeting.

So we I don't know how many of you got to join online.

But we did present a full slide deck of all of our work.

And we then have a robust questioning the answer period with the commissioner or with a supervisors.

My apologies.

So we had um we had good representation of all the work that we did.

I would say that we were thorough and that we covered all the topics, and then we went to QA.

And the I'm just going to summarize high level and then anybody else can chime in.

The feedback was it will not be realistic to try to adopt the plan as we have it laid out.

Short-term, medium term with 12 recommendations.

And they gave us multiple examples about setting up an office in particular Office of Immigration, Immigrant Services, excuse me, which was recommended in 2021, and they are just now studying it in 2026.

So they gave us some examples of you know some of these things that may not be able to happen, and so they were strongly recommending that we prioritize one or two things that we could get done.

Also talked about being prepared with what I would say FAQs for people who might be trying to look for reasons not to support the effort, which you know for us to um focus on our work, like what are the you know the disparaging things or the quality of the work, what that we be prepared with some sort of FAQs and responses.

Um and that also um what happens next with the commission?

They had proposed some concepts that were like, well, we can't get that done by June.

Uh what would like that in particular uh if we were to make a recommendation of next steps or make a recommendation of how we could um uh go beyond just the plan, but actually some action items.

Well, that would take an extended amount of time, so um sort of we should have a discussion here on what that looks like for us as a what does that look like?

Um, if we were going to uh continue the work with a slight, I would say change of scope because we will have finished the plan.

uh go beyond just the plan but actually some action items well that would take an extended amount of time so um sort of we should have a discussion here on what that looks like for us as a what does that look like um if we were going to uh continue the work with a a slight i would say change of scope because we will have finished the plan some of the elements could be um sort of an evaluated process uh a case study sort of format um there's only one other county doing this work that's fulton county in georgia so i don't not sure they they did a much um smaller version of what we're doing so they so that there was a bit of for me new scope that they were proposing which then begged the question what what's the role of commit the commission then moving forward so i would say those were kind of the highlights uh we do if we are going to narrow down some priorities we will need to work two offices and then probably have another meeting in May so that we could finalize what we're going to present oh we are set for June 30th we did get that clarified and it will be a set matter we got both of those things clarified that June 30th will be our day but what would be presented that day we need to give the full um board of supervisors three weeks give a draft or some version three weeks in advance um which we didn't had a chance to even talk to the consultants here um if there would be a a draft version that be materially completed that we could share or even if we sat with each office and said look at this is where the is um so that they have a heads up in advance so they're they they need advance notice and at least three weeks so that puts us you know doing something next month um so those were my highlights let me stop there I know there was uh um some conversation about the budget as well there could um you know learner was there so let me let me open up to the floor on what y'all heard and um what you think yeah how you think that ad hoc committee meeting went uh commissioner mclinton yeah I would say uh one of the things I want to lift up that you just uh provided the update on which was that uh there was a um clear recommendation and suggestion that we get the information over to all of the board of supervisors at least three weeks prior to June 30th so that they can absorb the information now if uh we can't for whatever reason consultants data if we cannot get them the presentation and a draft report so they can absorb it three weeks prior to our meeting the other suggestion was that we schedule individual meetings with each uh board of supervisors member for one hour to then debrief our work with them directly um and so that was the recommendation and the reason I'm lifting that up is because uh both one one strategy relies on our consultants to say we can produce something that is close to final but in still draft format for elected official to consume if they say they can't we have to build the time so we have to organize our schedules to have that lead up and and get with the legislative aid so we can get that one hour in their office so there's a time commitment related to this if we can't get the uh the written uh work over to them i'll just add that the county timeline is three weeks and it's the Tuesday at noon is the deadline before the the three weeks before the actual meeting so the Tuesday before three three weeks on the Tuesday at noon is the is how the normal process works for submission of information to the June 9th no June 9th by noon so who knows yeah can other uh who are there well I just have a question on that um if we are going to have to meet with them um do we have talking points that we can highlight that we are all speaking in one voice well that's would be the work to do here yeah so I that would be the work right if we're going to if we're going to take that approach then as a commission we should decide what the process is talking point draft of the report power point that they review we should be talking about the I understand that because we are because we have our next meeting and then we don't have a meeting yeah with our next meeting and then meeting before we would meet with them would be we have one more meeting where we would have to have the deliberal let me uh let me let's you should hear the whole story okay it was quite a presentation the um gave um and the slides are here I thought you were actually going to recreate it for this body um the whole presentation again can't can we have the video we had ECC speak we had informing change speak we had Larry speak we had every single it was quite it was an orchestration right it was um and I think the punchline I think um

Um the slides are here.

I thought you were actually going to recreate it for this body.

Um the whole presentation again.

Can I think what's the video?

So we had ECC speak, we had informing change speak, we had Larry speak, we had every single, it was quite it was an orchestration.

Right, it was um and I think the punchline, and I think um the supervisor Miley's here.

The punchline is that if we came in with the 12 recommendations as we were, even if we prioritize that that wasn't going to get adopted on the 30th.

Yes.

Um another discussion about and I made this point that what we're doing here is just the first step in this process around reparations, and that the thing that we the report that we agreed upon, whether we're supervisors on the 30th, and then we could walk away.

Um, I have put forward and um commissioner um supervisor Miley have put forward that we've identified one or two things that we absolutely think needs to happen.

Um in that regard, I said I know I feel this way, and I know some others feel this way, but not necessarily everybody feels this way.
