So we're talking about higher back to more people not proceeding how it's like here.

So it's just detail of your public comment is um is included in the recording.

Sure.

Um and then this is meant to be just a simple reference.

So we won't be able to full detail of that thing.

I'd like to mention that moving forward for public comment.

Um I've been directed by other people who run commissions and have much more experience than I do.

That best practices just to say um this person provided comment, and then the recording is the actual detail.

So that's what I've been doing moving forward.

Okay, but I didn't get that type of these ones.

Um minutes or twice uh uh group.

Okay, very much we have the disclosure.

Yes, that's a new thing.

That's an addition.

Um there's a new AO that passed um in regards to expectations for commissions in particular, like the agenda.

Um, and so it is best practice to just have a standing agenda item where if any commissioners have any um financial or personal gain from uh an agenda item that they disclose before talking about that.

So this is the reserved time for which um commissioners or in which commissioners can state that they have an investment in an agenda outcome.

So if there are none, then we can just pass it from an active agenda item.

Yeah, anything that needs to um be voted on essentially because like the the purpose of that is if you have um if you're going to gain something from it, you need to recuse yourself from um voting on that particular issue, and so this is just the space to do that, and we haven't encountered that here before, but um it is standard practice, so just trying to get in line with um best practices set out by the municipality.

Yeah, I see you have your hand up um thanks, David.

I want to first apologize and then make a request.

Um I asked for I excuse me, item F2B to be added to the agenda today, and now I'm realizing that due to just some unforeseen family circumstances, I'm actually not going to be able to stay on the call after five, which is probably when we would get to that item.

So I wonder whether we could either postpone that item to our next meeting or um it up, yeah.

Although I know that E1 is we started that last meeting, so maybe you want to carry forward with that.

I mean, I'm really sorry to not have foreseen this, but um, yeah, that's my request.

Um to give a little bit of background on it F2B.

Um the mayor's office is asking for some guidance, and please feel free to correct me here, is asking for some guidance around um the level of basic needs services um for our neighbors.

Um you want to take maybe 15 seconds to speak to that.

So the conversation is meant to be.

I think really this has been kind of you know building for a while, but to summarize I have a number of different faith communities, a number of different um individuals in the community who are really interested and excited to just try to address people's basic needs, so like clothing, food, those types of things, and I am looking for some guidance from this commission in kind of the best way to channel that because in some ways we want to kind of I I think when we did have big camps, it was a little bit more obvious, like where to send people.

Um, but now that that's not the case, and people are kind of moving around and some people are more into shelter and people have gone other places, it's just not easy to figure out what the the connection points are, and so you know what I've been doing is really kind of directing people more towards the coalition office, towards Third Avenue beans, that's where like the hope and their multidisciplinary outreach team is setting up.

Um but really I'm just looking for some open um discussion and kind of expertise from this group to kind of help me you know figure out what the best approach is on that.

So it's not an urgent thing, like it's not something that's like um really acute, but it's something that I would like to get advice from the group on so our options here would be to um the next month or move it up in the agenda.

Um I well the uh um mentioned that you know it's not an urgent thing.

I do I do feel that it is something that is uh very topical and something that does warrant some robust discussion, and I I for one prefer to have that sooner rather than later because that could affect uh direction coming out of um you know the municipality about how we want these groups to engage.

So um, you know, just while we're discussing it, I would say I hope it moved up with the agenda um while we have had the rules approved changes to hand commission procedures on the agenda for a while.

It's also like while I do want to update those, it's also a broke.

We don't really need you know, I don't see that as like a very urgent business report of the the hand commission.

Um that's where I'm coming from.

I'm I'm curious to hear what others think.

And I think that was one of my items to take the first stab at it.

So I need it, but I didn't mail it out, so I would not be opposed to pushing it in the enough mail email because I think that's the problem saying that I would take the first staff at it and email it to everybody, so it is ready to email if we want to take it and say next month.

Oh, there's other commissioners for thoughts.

Yeah, my thought was uh I was I didn't support them, move it to next month because I a lot of those folks are my members, so I would like to actually go talk to them and bring that back to the commission.

So that would be my wish.

Okay, okay.

Um talking about the conduit to bring those things to those people as much as what those things actually are.

I think it's um space for I think I'd like to know a little bit more about the conversation piece and then be able to like bring back more dialogue that next month because I think I'm intrigued by the initial summary and I want to know more, but I also don't know that I would want to go to answer without talking to uh some of my colleagues and co-workers.

So maybe I would recommend this is we can hunt it to next month, but I would ask in your update from the mayor's office if you could set up the conversation for us so we can think about it, maybe talk to some of our constituents and then re be prepared to bring that back next month for um further conversation.

Um that's not folks and sorry, David.

You mean in my mayor's office report at this meeting set it up?

Yeah, okay, great.

Thank you.

Great.

Thanks, and sorry again for screwing that up.

Yeah, okay.

Um really quickly, so we're postponing it to next month.

I postpone it to next month.
