As we did have some rules of the use for agreement to ensure that there was respectfulness and so forth. And again, it was such a pleasant experience. And when So, as I was driving in that morning, one of the things that kind of came to mind for me was it catchphrase, to kind of help bring order to the room if needed, but then also to show that in order to see a future, you sometimes have to go back to where you started. Started personally, as well as an organization. So the catchphrase was back to basics. And I hear that you've been using that phrase. So for those of you who were there, first, can you raise your hand so we can see who all participated in the exercise. And so when I say back to back to, and we use that throughout the session to just kind of reground us and focus. So I realized that we we, I only have two, very short minutes to go through this entire presentation. So what I'll choose to do is just give a brief overview of each of our activities, and some of the observations that resulted from those activities. And then I'll proceed with going into the recommendations and the timeline. And that's okay. And then I believe that there will be a question and answer or discussion session. And then if I need to go back and provide some clarification, I will do at that time. That's okay. Perfect. Next slide. All right, that first activity was more just to get the ball rolling, and just to see where there were some commonalities and differences amongst the group. So we divided our room into two parts. We asked a series of questions that had two responses. And at that time, we read the question the responses. And for those members who are participating, we asked them to pick aside which response resonated most with them. And your package, you will see there's, there's three, we did a series of eight questions. But these were the three that kind of really broad, broad, that really resonated with a pad. So we asked some question, my neighborhood needs more resources, or my neighborhood needs more representation. Our neighborhoods are more alike than different, or our neighborhoods are more different than alike. I'm a member of AIPAC to be a change maker, I'm a member of a had to be a to be my community's voice. And so that exercise, as I mentioned, showed where, you know, in real time, how the members were alive and different in their selection of the responses that most resonated with them, I thought that was a pretty good exercise to get things going. And to this show that wow, it may seem as though you have a lot of differences, you really do have a lot of commonalities. The second exercise was called for the people where we use this as an opportunity to come outside of yourself as a patent member, and take the plate and instead be the voice of the community in which you represent. So we, we facilitated a series of questions. And at that we asked you to answer as if you were a community representative, or community member, but not an AIPAC member. And so, I'm sorry, let's keep going. We also have activity two. Yes, that's the slide. Thank you. The question is where who is Atlanta? What do the people have in common? And what what do they need from us? Meaning a path. You can see the responses. And so what I found very interesting is that there were some people who took the position of, you know, a resident who's, you know, a legacy resident, a senior and the community son took the perspective, you know, a younger generation to others took positions of activists that are in the community that are not affiliated with In the MPP system or the board, and then these were the outcomes, I think what really resonated to also is what do they need from us as a path number, communication, education and information, inclusion advice, actions that result in feedback group, understanding and empathy, a unified voice willingness to have hard, controversial conversations on the behalf of the community. These were things that came specifically from the members that participated. This is not the consultants summary, these are your words of what you believe that US citizens that you represent you want from you as an APEC member. And then to wrap up that for the people activity, we listed all of the things that are highlighted in your mission, that AIPAC are supposed to provide some advice on Environmental Quality parks and open space land use zoning and transportation, we asked you, you know, has, in the last year, went to these areas as a path most impactful. And as you can see, at the bottom, most felt that he had not that impactful in these areas. So that begs the question to us as a team is, so what is a patch? Whoa. You know, are, what job are you doing? What outcomes do you have, and that inspired conversations that led to us our third activity. But just in summary, some of the key takeaways for that activity is that it matches diverse and multi generational, a path should keep its mission first. And you know, also that all interviews aren't represented a path for some reason. And people may not know what the outcomes of a PAP are, because there is no clearly defined feedback loop. And then finally, a bad test really hasn't in the last 12 months hasn't made a lot of progress. And again, these were opinions of those who participated that day. So activity three, was focusing on purpose. So we took some of the information from the previous two activities, to help be the purpose, discussion, activity threes observations, just because we are running short of time was that APAC really needs to work on his communication, and improving its relationships with the city and the various city departments. You struggle with time management, and having a focus. There's a lot of disruptions that challenge your success as an organization. There was a thought roll it came up that APAC needs a designated planner, we walked into the into the strategy session, we will loose with assumption that he is your planner. But it was articulated a couple of times that probably need someone more to provide more of administrative support for the organization. And then the last observation was personal agendas, that a lot of the work that is done by AIPAC, when successful are not coming from the community through the MPU system, but coming from individual board members, personal agendas.
And then finally, our last activity was focusing on goals like so mad that you have a purpose or need to have a clearly defined purpose that everyone is in agreement with. How do you put into action? So there were four goals that can After the discussion that the that the group developed. Again, these are your words, the goal spend time together focusing on issues that matter speak publicly as one voice, track resolutions progress and advocate AIPAC for the things that you want to work on. For this fiscal year. We took that information, and allowed the participants to participate in an activity where you were to rank them or to prioritize these activities, excuse me prioritize the the activities that will make these goals successful. And we put them in three buckets and now bucket, which is this goals. activity will be executed within the first four months. After receiving the strategic plan and moving towards implementation, the second bucket is my five to eight. And then the last bucket is much nicer to 12. So mad your bar where the budgets? So I'll just quick I don't know where I stand with time.
Okay, so where did you get
as a, as facilitators, we took that information, those goals, and we map them, we identified them into three different categories. If you can keep advancing the slides, you get to keep going. About two or three more. The categories, yes, the recommendations, thank you. You have a purpose, your operation and then communications. Those are the buckets that we will take we took those four goals, we realized that two of those goals were very similar, and so and so to consolidate in them and so now they're represented today to us for the back. Three goals. Goal number one, confirm and clarify a patch rolled. It has a series of tasks by task five tasks, realign your role your code your bylaws, and processes. Review your mission and vision to ensure consistency. Create a cadence to evaluate and check your progress plan by an annual plan, update and revise your bylaws to incorporate all your purpose tasks. Go to establish governance processes and protocols to guide measurable outcomes ensures success and to success. They're doing so tasks that fall within this. Again, this goal falls into operations, but you cannot move forward unless you have some very tangible guidelines. And that's very important for operations. So one key tasks, board structure, the number of members, the committee's and executive board decisions need to be defined based on their need and function. I hear that you have several committees or committee positions that that do not work.
They don't have any
and there's no part. So that's an example. Take a look at your committee structure. Take a look at your board positions and make sure that they're in line with your partner's with your roles. The bellowed standard operating procedures for several critical board operations established on onboarding process for new board members. We've heard that some board members really don't know what where they come up where they fit here. They come to meetings when they don't have a real charge. Obtaining the city planning planner so help with administrative support, created a dashboard to track your electrician submittals and its progress. Identify or designee to maintain this dashboard every Bajra bylaws to incorporate any of these operational modifications. And then finally, the last goal is, is related to communications. Oh, sorry, wherever you are on the right side of things, create an engagement model or advancing a path strategy. The tasks associated with that board code of conduct is needed. So you clearly know what is needed by the board to maintain to respect, develop a focus and well crafted message or brand or AI. To be perfectly honest with all the work that I do with this CNN, Lanza, I bet some of my colleagues know that I was working with a pad. And you know, you don't have a good reputation. But so, the recommendation is to leave brand new stuff, change that perception, and make it your duty reality. Create an internal and external feedback loop, whatever you end times better than me, so be shared with the community that you represent, create more opportunities for API visibility, so they can see a path or a path that collaborates they have that is productive. How do we show that not to be out there, and that and let the city departments but city council, let your constituents See you in action. And again, finally, revise your your bylaws to incorporate any of these communication modifications. And so the last section of the recommendations is the timeline as to when these tasks could occur. And so what we did was we gave you two month intervals to accomplish tasks, since you don't need you can be as a general body once a month, right, and then an executive board once a month, and then committee maybe once a month. We want to give you enough time to be very thoughtful and intentional, and to actually be successful. So all of those tasks were broken up into different months of the year starting in May, Lee, going back all the way to February 2024, which is when we had our our strategic planning session. So in closing of this presentation, I just there's some basic next steps that I think you should do is, you know, collectively, you need to review these recommendations and make sure you're in agreement with it. And then prioritize because there's a lot to be done, and I'm not 100% sure that you'll be able to accomplish it all. So the prioritization of these tasks and these goals is really essential for success. Also ident once they've been identified, and you need to have a champion or a representative of the board, that's going to ensure or lead the charge to make sure that these tasks get accomplished. And that can be a tough situation, or, or, you know, overall work sessions, and then also identify if there's a need for you to use outside resources to help your ads. And if so, bring back to Leah and she can help you identify outside resources to be able to again achieve success that I'm committed to a path. A lot of work for the city of Atlanta would love to continue to help you take this procedure plan and into the execution phase and audio as my partner will is always up there to support you if needed as well. So at this time, I'll conclude the presentation and I can entertain questions.
My name is Kevin W
I really appreciate your presentation.
My question to you is
digging into the company IQ. Do you guys actually do democracy partner? Many allegations or unfair to people of color?
I see a court case has been filed against them for treating people unethically. I see that they work closely
with Mohammed bin Salam. Yes.
Drugs, cigarettes is something that we've been working with. There seems to be
a good approach. They
didn't seem to take into consideration a partnership
with typically, tech money, LGBTQ
wasn't the
first they were concerned about
it. So my question is, I know that we have a lot of stuff to do
here. It seems like you can't do that your partner has an ethical issue that probably at least for me, saying that AIPAC has an issue there
my time I didn't know I was trying to do personal relationships, both was in a car friends of mine
for years, and had
issues expect for each other and professionalism. And so I personally, to be honest, I didn't feel the need to do any research on the organization. I brought these individuals helped me to work with that organization and high level
of confidence and their capabilities and abilities speakers may also do
it for as long
as it support me and I wanted to see if this opportunity to help them further develop relationships with the city of Atlanta and or as a neighborhood organization.
Now I will say that you know, individuals are on competence personal
relationships and maybe creative people maybe they're working
for a company that doesn't provide diversity or provide
equity or working there or they
was they seem to be working with some people I mean, I
have my two cents off and I know that your time
again, we can go on and on
I there's nothing that I can say to that I will say that the two individuals that I brought to the table to help me facilitate this and I'm very pleased that our collaboration I think would it be okay to make a motion
I would like to make a motion that we move presentation
so
on okay, so, I did your second
and I did not make an official image I asked
but I will say I will make your
question I will use your question to the presenter or to body or as a question of motion tracking the question. Correct.
So, so we have this guy
and what are we supposed to document at this
session
we do things to those things
she's going to be presenting there after that discussing
expressions, the sign up and
this is what
you're not adoptable in the sense that we should develop a process to do something. But we can't say yes, we should develop a process to do something unless someone proposes when that process
works. So very
readable.
So that's what this session is supposed to be about what
is going to be responsible for
you. So some of these recommendations, presumably that should be handed to a committee to make a decision
is made. So if there's a specific committee that applies in the
past, and yet,
we need to create an ad hoc committee
there's already a lot of
So, I will just call this and you can contact any questions that you have? friend was questions to her. And then we will get back to this. I will say I should
maybe explore that. And help steer this decision because I think we have Google people spirit. But I think that we want to make sure that this timeless
issue presented, envision
the document has some, some very tangible action items. And so it's, it was it's not our role to help you execute. It was to prepare these tangibles for you. So I think that collectively as a Board have the capacity to take a look at these recommendations, please go and we say tasks, identify the ones that you want to board with, identify your champion on the board who will help guide and then you move towards execution
by someone Federal Board, we get the recommendation. Say that you've got to buy in. Quite honestly, because I'm looking at this. This is a failing grade for a map overall. Okay. Not doing any finger pointing or blaming the city as part of this board. That's why in the low scores and low marks that I'm reading here, this is.
A covenant question. Those are presented for us today or given by the spy. It is just placed on paper in the framework for us. So ultimately, the members of this body created decide who typed it on paper does not necessarily matter what their background typing does not matter even if this is simply the goals that we set forward. Right. And so in knowing that it came from us and saying lay it on the framework and how to move forward. The question now becomes if we decided to partner in the future, what role would you play, whether we chose to bring you along with a partner or not? What role would you play in continuing our efforts for strategic
I appreciate how you synthesize the information, you're right on point. This is bad content consulting work or audios where this is a at board members for those who participated in that activity. So you created, we just synthesize the information. So thank you for recognizing that. As far as a path forward with myself, you know, it's really important to you, like I said, there's a lot of work that has been outlined, for a path moving forward, you just need to be very thoughtful and intentional, what it is that you feel that you have the capacity to execute. Depending on my availability, and capacity, and expertise, then I'll step in and Dubai, and facilitate guidance
through continuous
planning sessions with an ad hoc committee or designated board committee, that will be in charge. I've done that in the past, I'm all about implementation success. So to me, this means nothing if you don't take any of this, these tasks and move forward with execution next year, this time and you haven't accomplished anything. And this document, then basically
wasted all of
you don't want to do that. So one example that I can give you. One recommendation is your brand, although involves late, and you're in the red, and the timeline schedule. That's a role that I believe that I can assist you with, and rebranding yourself, but the brand won't work, if you don't have some tangible, you're a different entity than what you are perceived to be. So that's why I put it lay in the schedule, so that you have an opportunity to have some wins, that you can promote in your new communication in your new brand. I realized that it was pi on being the chair of the Bylaws Committee, and you're supposed to vote I believe today are by law. I mean, I'm in complete agreement with you that you hold off on that boat, I have no idea what your changes to the bylaws are. But your governance structure is really key. And I suggest that you focus on that as an early win, get that in place, make sure you have the right Executive Board Member positions, the correct committee chairs and in someone that holds the seat to do the work don't have a committee that that has heard representation that makes absolutely no sense. So clean that up first, then update your bylaws. And that is a huge win for you that can lead into your whole rebranding and our communication space right now and I can help with both so
this would be a formal promotion but I might revert back to
what I've seen have a lot
more opportunity to read it frame by frame. Also with us if there's questions since we can get together some of those questions that were without formal discussion where your savings opportunity and then sign
questions are
serious so we can make
use of that in just a moment.
other three are part of this framework, right? And we can talk about how
I think that
our borders are gonna die. And so I'm not always so
proud to put something in a committee. I think that the 25 members of this board are more than ready they laid out this for Again, I think we as a board should continue to provide new services. That's fine afternoon with the box there as well. I think we should
first agree to topics like
this for some mysterious reason.
Yeah, I was just gonna say I think our bylaws allow us to create a task force to handle something very specific like this. So maybe a task force would be a good idea that help us people then on this timeline.
Thank you. Step back for a minute. And I heard all the comments are all very thoughtful.
We did not initiate this, this little room. Because she thought word is out there that there was some kind of goofy about a bell.
Maybe a touch maker, maybe this could help. So she set this up. And as we went through it, some of us and just as the outcome of this person's hurt teams, in our interaction with this crazy group. And they make a lot of work into it. And they did their best to understand what's going on. But that's a hard job with something like this. And there's something valuable. For us, if we agree with the premise that started this out, that there's something a little different, maybe, or maybe could be done better, or that would make it more satisfying for the people that come to it, or would have ran the city for mega city and certain leadership, people in the city more attentive to what we have to say, these are all important things. And this has created a scenario where we can consider this. Now how to do that. I think, you know, maybe we take this as threshold and jump into a workgroup of some kind that picks out some of these issues and decides that you want to try to address and then bring this back to the group as a whole, as you say, saying, Okay, last up in here, Gloria says, I mean, I'm here, and it's a failing grade. Apparently. So no, something like four or five things that we consider most important. And bring that back to the group but workgroup brings it back to us, and we
discuss it and we decide on doing
and how we do it. And I think that's where we are now, as far as motions and all that stuff goes, I have no idea. But I do know that these kinds of shifts and direction for large groups are usually
directed by leadership,
leadership size, that group needs to do something and it takes initiative to cause that to happen. In the past. Presidents may have had certain agendas and a path of hurting in that direction. And then there have been presidents who did not want the group to just decide for themselves what they wanted to do. And so the ones that are I think that's where we are, and I know that there are people here who would like to address this issue. And I'm just interested in hearing what the how a group would discuss this and see what the outcome might
be. I just want to make a suggestion. So we have a lot here next steps I would suggest maybe on the agenda for next month. We have a motion to approve full timeline task priorities and the goal of the board as well as the champion we want to advance in priority. So, we would have people to take a closer look at the motion on that you ready motion? Yes, I just think that
we should just say that we also were talking before
everybody so, I wanted to
mention that
we recommend
now, should we generally that's what we say
I agree. We are the issues that have been generated or impacts that will cause us to be looked upon
in partnership and
see we are and ultimately we need to work together
to me that is putting our responsibility on somebody else's decision as to what we should do what I like to recommend we are capable of having virtual meetings if they are not if they are for the workgroups can not
exist so maybe work session that we have candidates as
members of this
race we would just like to bring to the section
about the recommendations
and each one who
decides to adopt them
is that book to me would be a way to get
everybody and
everybody this opportunity to express themselves
separation separations
and bad session. That's why I'm feeling this way, but I feel this way. So, welcome. We have some better information
to break out into
to the left side section, and
that's where you can find
us My question is for
John, are you close to Mike? Yes, everybody.
So my question is for content. Make sure that this document accurately reflects what was this lesson add session specifically regarding comments that come up. We'll recite a planner which is triggered out loud but the logic of the motion is documents miracle you to administer and staff. For more Tables discuss those who don't have technical status. And then we are charged by code when addressing issues. Regarding quality Hearthstone space mining, there's not an app for PCP the person writing this blog. Yes, there is an economist for what we're having. Pressing Technical Support reports, I believe that's what was this last session to get back to the other call data. In addition to the production support,
I think one of my recollections of the conversation was that you're trying to compare yourselves to some other functioning boards. And there was a specific conversation and those boards had a designee that provided administrative technical support, some support, and you felt that you had that curse. So that's what I recall the conversation. And, and from what I gather, you guys that look at the room as that person, someone else that would make a pack function in the same way that CRP functions and the support that they be, you know, sitting in the park departments, so that's my recollection. But
you guys have figured that out
and find something and make it accurate. This is a physical thing is mass. No.
I just want to drill down on what you offer here.
And I think it looks like a huge body of work. We know that a lot of work. We know that. We're right now we're getting back to somewhat dysfunctional. I'm just agreeing. I agree. Really, the takeaways, but I think, you know, we go for passwords, and break down into bite sized chunks, and we get back. We have more songs.
And a statement of timing. Seems that
there's no room
for possibly replacing this
little room.
Okay, that's what I wanted to clarify. I mentioned Value Lists more than candidate systems. I just wanted to clarify that that was not something that
happens all the time.
Absolutely, absolutely not. And again, this is our interpretation of
what really occurred.
And so what you see here is what we thought we heard you say before, we walked into the situation, with the assumption that you had your support with Lena, but you brought the body brought to our attention during the work session that you felt that you did. And so I'm not making any suggestions. The suggestions
are actually not official.
Clarify and approving. That partisan discussion out there were estimated at that part. But as I understand when the board said that day was a while back
with the industry
support,
what I said I think when I came back in the room, or maybe I've said it later, but what I've said pretty consistently is that there's been this challenge because there are members of the board that say we shouldn't have to do this. This is administrative and the department should be doing this for us. And there are other members of the board. This main theme is, hands off, we're our own thing, we can run our own. And we don't need help. Well, we don't want help from the department in here, spin up a bit of back and forth on that. So I think the board and please do feel free to correct me if I'm wrong. I think the board wants more and administrative support,
which we
committed to 1000 times over. And in addition to that administrative support that might be provided. They also want technical reports, and I heard the partner was there, but we didn't discuss that ongoing. So I think there's two different things.
wondered how much more
you have any other questions
for us to
watch this year? possibly take a look at I believe is the simplicity of most of us who are here experienced resident specialists itself, but ultimately, the past the past with the last few pages, the recommendations versus just two seconds in the timeline is successful. We're tasked with reading through this, this series of pages, trying to sense what took place during that session for those who weren't here and then see whether or not we agree with the recommendations or not, and whether or not the timeline is reasonable. That's fine so
this is a living breathing document simply writing work for appropriate I would like to make a motion to adopt the strategic
questions regarding employee okay integration emotion is 70 about about putting the framework there anything else we can talk about process was glad to hear that promotion is the social Yes, on the motion I think the migrants to scroll
up thing is I would like to
personally motion
documents by say something can be retained under advisement act on or something like that because I cannot do that. Well, I mean I
sort of agree with what Richard said in that regard. I think that in the same way that we perceive medics that what this document is is an accurate summary of strategic
planning in the
past and I'm inclined to say yes it's an accurate summary we received it in the same way that our minutes or negative summary of our past meetings so perhaps received into federal court
proceedings or simply means we read write it doesn't
necessarily have to be
able to fit we agree with his accuracy in in representing what happened at that meeting. Nobody disputes back rather than everybody says
so involves a lot of emotional emotional impact a promotion that is first voted up and down
which increases
the motion to adopt the strategic framework
and promotion.
has another maybe a motion to take action
to
just take a second to share
to do was take a local review and actually act on
it. So I guess what I'm asking you
to because I
knew this would have been a briefing document. I think that it's okay to adopt best practices for the board of supervisors and
we'll certainly have to go so
much is about emotional setting
because everybody here had a chance to read and review the
people that are framework are you trying to test too much something Well, let's let's go In motion if you agree with that then motion parliamentarian
is not what we can call the watch as much as possible
the question was asking what is the document
there's a motion on the floor to adopt the framework from the strategic planning session
almost in favor
please raise your
hand it but just kind of close mind
to all those courses
right so
motion passes
you save
for retirement, so the
session was very simple so that we could see exactly what
people that
this space
has been
repeating the process, we're fortunate Debbie said, the more you're talking about this, you have something else to say.
I just want to thank you all for
that. So we work with you. I do this type of exercise with a lot of our practice groups and foundations sitting over my entire career. And so I look at this as an opportunity as a path for you to be successful. And so as I mentioned before, you know, I'm here to severe support system.
I want you to succeed.
You showed up that day. And you put it all out on the table, the good, bad and the ugly.
And
I really hope that now you look at
the navigational tools to
help you
change your perception and gave a clear purpose for what you're rolling and actually execute. So with that, thank you so much. Thank you
Yes, I would like to enter a motion to adopt a framework formulated to address three gold
standard passports.
So I'm making the motion.
We test
the way it works We're dressing a specific goal of breakfast daily goals one through three less than 12.
seconds
questions about emotion?
It isn't clear to be moving in this document that the goals as stated themselves seem to separate
what's up? Question is why was
dressed in all three recommendations in various ways? Not Bylaws Committee. So question commission, were those those bylaws separate out the specific wireless issues and the firewalls? No, I'm just asking the question, because it doesn't seem to be that. That is how I was watching requirements.
Well, you know, we do cross committee work here all the time. As part that's part of the problem itself, one of the one of the franking credits
so I will do the same thing.
So if you remember, she, I think, I suggest that we go to the last page that the framework titles that somebody points out and it makes sense if you do like this still achieve the same goal.
So essentially, we could create three, work throughs
pray pray them out into these turns the task calls and then come back
with a whole box for this giveaway that we're waiting for.
That is going to be smaller sizes by so the magnitude could be the workgroup in July the office we're working
with September October trademark never come back. I will say right now we're
going through will take finding
the finding of the
dots of what the contents are showing.
And also
a lot of you represent
another set of workers
I agree. So this is actually.
Working firewall configuration work. Queues, but it is great to point out you've got to make the most of that. Okay. So this question is the
most important to create these students based on goals 123. And what Rashid has suggested instead is that we can break them down based on the bullet items in the timeline.
Alright, recall that the tasks are for now, not
you can do
it the right way.
All right. So let's make sure everybody is clear.
Right? What it is
is that we start with time micromanaging and those three items in that turn. Each of the word groups is assigned one of those food items. Shall we help one? Another for just
one second?
Would it be okay for us?
Morning now, I would say in general, we can
have more fair conversations.
But I agree with on this discussion. Timeline design, since we've adopted it, we should not divide it into three workers and goals, we should be working according to that point, looking at a particular bullet, I first got to deal with the wants a separate appointment, whatever you want to see, is distinct enough that it's one that two working groups next. Thank you. However, I also am not fully on board with the model partners interpretation for other bases, and working groups are some way to get around. That's certainly a part of wanting to raise effects
on the basis
of the breaking in is not a complete
breakdown is
based upon the way that I see
these spaces, it says substitute
simply cannot encourage you to SP it's not of course
I would encourage
right. Well, you're not interpreting from another
time note again, I got this one. Well, a debt free of course has its attorneys always stayed with us. And
a lot of the stuff is working on.
Right, good. So
I want that for a little bit. But
I wanted to if I may make a recommendation just because part of the thing that we're looking at here is functionality. I would recommend not working backwards by starting with three rooms and then trying to fill those rooms, I would recommend finding out who's interested in doing your work and then divided by however many weeks you may not have may have boards that are interested in volunteering, everybody is already so busy with two domain controllers, etc. If you only have a small number of people that will work for you already working to build. The recommendation
is when I made the motion assumption we start off
with view
appropriately taking bites that
they don't have to offer.
As I'm hearing
we're asking
Mr. Ross to modify or accept the friendly amendment, like everywhere going on in discussion because that is what we're doing or not.
I mean, when we're pointing alternates, what you're saying me being an amendment, or a potential amendment
what I'm asking is having those options or how do you see all the questions and after that. While it's up to him, it's not up to you.
First of all, See how many of you are and one that has
six
so we got that
means we don't need to do something that's going to be sold by the president if you can just organize this email with member and board assigning someone else to do it but we don't need a formal vote for something that we plan to do it thank you receive urgent
what's going on number
two will be
pretty much the same thing with 8.3 to seven
quickly if you important to accomplish first
okay
first of all the items are something intellectual
and we sit around a sheet of paper
no
oh five which requires
but
guess what right.
All right. So, resolution 23 are starting bylaws and I will go ahead and make a motion to deal with discussion on my emotions vote. The vote on this by wasn't I will postpone it until the next meeting. Just in case things change between now and in my case. My motion for now is to postpone voting on Part 305. At all. With that is not a committee motion. My motion? May not I guess I will but I wanted to make the motion
members of the bylaws committee and other people who have expressed interest in the bible tell me not a lot of it. Yes, I have no advice month as
a membership coordinator
as an executive committee on Monday, we do not have a response. So this is a follow up email on Tuesday. On Friday, there was a conversation that shows me the roof I saw a packet in the north of all department to have that discussion. At that point in time, a lot of foreigners are not adding a lot of requests. So that is case number one.
Response and require you to have a lot of
the assets about board. Members a lot of people have bylaws would be the format template provided by Congress. That is a provision paper since 2017. We've had this applied process. So what does that apply to apply supports discussion about the law departments meeting was basically not met our bylaws. And until we had been so
cursory glance of our bylaws as to whether or not you should be thanking us for
knowing the law department, without a full report of the NEC, concerned about us meeting some basic requirements as a challenge. And then number two or number three, and of course, that conversation, the take of the attorney packet what was going on? Right? Was it physical relations, likely considerably different than the opinion of a proscenium last March regarding the ability of a pen to Ash was number four, because we just had a discussion on the strategic plan and where it is and where we might be headed. It has lots of implications for the Bible, I think is relevant and germane precedence for that conversation. At this point in.
Question,
I have a question.
Search of the attorney that there was that the attorney did not believe something about the interpretation about
money
minus ones that you did not apply and on my last one, but this is in the bylaws and
so, you do not do this. Without you view the environment, so conservative, or to bypass and therefore not be with us, as they call it a basic level. So not just Americans find out about mentorship reaching out, or just basically each basis, asking them baseline are based upon this template, which Ahab's Do not leave a three date existence. That that would be a potential issue that may be even really start to get into
alignment. So non compliance, his opinion is based on the template and not the merits
for the year. Now, he
did not believe he had a copy of the Bible was not able to take on the merits of the Bible, as a basic level of procedure, understood that ours do not immoral federal contracting officers?
Yeah, I guess, my question. For the year to date, we have not been operating in compliance with our consistent hours. And we have an operating compliance with the bylaws, as they are supposed to be amended in this resolution. So we can simply continue to operate as if that those were our bylaws, even though they're not until such time as something happens.
Where we're currently not operating in American environments, what are all the states operate in
a manner consistent with our bylaws as this resolution proposed amendment? Well, we are that's what we are. And so my question is, if we if we defer action on this resolution will simply continue to operate as if we passed resolution.
So I believe that that is that there's another company and then what we are, so we are operating outside of this, because out of mind, so this is a contentious issue that right, that we will try to solve. Now, I believe this is the additional thing that we've presented, which is that there's something to be done with a topic that impacts what we're doing that that's out of our control and The importance of getting the product to them, but we still have to have rules, because it's not saying well, we don't have our laws. So, there will, I believe that we need to still continue to operate and could make right in terms of what to bring us up until we have a full view of becoming fully compliant, we can just become a part of our lives now, as you know, we do. So, with that the best part of this is our department, our speakers. Right, take it upon ourselves that I have an issue with us as well, because there is an issue that that contentious we have been dealing with for far too long. And the whole premise of this Congress vote was to stop for this major issue. So that we can also have around that we can come forward in other areas, our organization, therefore, it iPhones are never going to know on that amount, because again, the lowball department but it's been days since 2017. I can improve the review think about that. And that's what this was about as soon as possible to win when we presented this you could ask for that every single month, but what I will say is that we cannot allow them to do their job and to come in and say that implies that I can find yourself to work and so therefore, I believe now
let me just ask
you one of the things that did come out of the new attorneys board
is officially I guess assigned to NCP right
now, he says anything pertaining to a that would come to
anything that takes the Department of City Planning
was there was like that was
like any correspondence that I sent to
America. So,
all it was
for us to make sure that our calls to that Tim as possible to get that set up to 400 Am once he does that all come back to us with a decision and keep in mind all of this stemmed from the fact that ways as to avoid these emotions and this is what we all face as loss Oh ultimately they pretty much they hold until we pretty much
forever chair so we still have our until overturns face is not as crucial to power but the best people we can have we can be the winner
it is that's coming to be recognized for our chair. It's a good software. So
we had a conversation this morning in the early committee in Power BI by the question of whether a passing compliance, that section of the ordinance that speaks to 125 voting members that does not speak to delegates and alternates and I think you've got this theory of
Infinity Wars was
this position was
that was that market theory
a letter that was sent via video may have gotten market positioning, adopted moment in that there are a whole variety of different sorts of forms of bodies that are there. One of those is a contention ratio similar to a, it's a group of bodies that have sung together up to a larger group. And the most important thing for that type of organization is that each body each component body has representation at the convention. statement in the letter was that, that of all the types of governments that are again, Robert's Rules of Order that most closely relates to how it functions, and is called out to me and they put up orders, there are 25 voting members, one from each year, and that the chair or designee is a voting member of that. So that was put forward. And it was briefly touched upon in the conversation yesterday. And Mr. Ward, stated quite clearly that there's a distinction between the names that he had received from the current ordinances, and how he had my function under our own bylaws, as long as they are in conformance with the code of ordinances. State law Federal Constitution. So he did not see an inherent inability to make those two things. He did not say that they were adding a client. There's a possibility that those two things work together that he had his face as a horse. But he had functions in our way as a convention, and can follow Robert's Rules of Order regarding how conventions function, are we able to discern
clearly in that office, that
sufficient award stated very clearly does not represent a pattern on the poll yesterday, he had difficulty answering and addressing some questions or making some opinions because of code they had, which is a separate base from the departments of the planning. And the departments of the planning, have representatives both often call there's a conflict of interest trying to pretend it wasn't the advisor. That is a question for the city attorney not for us
to be as friendly as
it is my understanding, seeing that there is no one here and oftentimes, it's not the point here that the Department of Law has not provided us. And it
was there any installation.
There was not integration there was supposition on Mr. Horse we have that that is par for the course and that basis do have our presentation, and he stated specifically, a few of them that do I
actually vote for me? So my questions for this body are the implications of not adopting this. This set of bylaws, it seems to me like we would revert automatically to our previous vitals. The other question then begs for me, what are the implications? What are the ramifications? If we do adopt this and worse, it will be found that it's out of compliance and because of justice, but at best, we may have something.
So two points. We're not reverting anything because we've had my boss now who is a proposed change, continue to operate with our bylaws, regardless of how we're actually operating. We will continue to say these are our bylaws but they're acting in good faith based upon an opinion that was provided through the department's of last year or part of that motion with Coronavirus during this conversation yesterday. The stated but not in writing of the meaning of Mr. Walker war was that there is no option for a non voting members which is why this resolution that we are set to adopt is based on so based upon what was about to be said it seemed very inappropriate to move forward with something based upon an opinion allegedly coming up tomorrow by completely no he also he has made the reservations about us wrongly being out of compliance by not And
so I definitely admire optical compass, but simply imply that somebody without borders, they're different is receiving an official legal to be the recipient of official legal opinion. And until that point, we're not in compliance. It's just a thought that we could possibly do. And so I started writing,
some of it isn't. Okay.
The problem is that not enforcing
why no more questions. So to add to what was the remarks, I said, if we don't vote today, we're no closer to being in compliance because it's a template. Right? And we do both said we're no closer to being in compliance because of exactly right. So but what what what can we gain from the vote, we will solve a contentious issue amongst our power. So therefore, I see power failure
as an argument.
Well, I agree with everything Rasheen is saying and I think it's important to point out that, that we have the option to amend our bylaws as a rolling basis. So if we amend our bylaws this month, we can meet our pilots again next year mark now, you know, we're not shutting doors. And I think what we have had historically doing was getting a response from the city's waterfront and once whenever they get a response from these law department, they're going to have to respond to any future event. So if we wanted to for example restore alternates we could adopt this send off City get the city's waterpark only to bless this and then next month restore alternatives because that of course is what are offered offer some kind of
takeaway next slide number two by not adopting and by ticking the boxes we have the opportunity to save the current position activities that we do have and we're not basing our change on the interpretation
but that's been our position for over a year now and it hasn't been doing is
correct so
that's why the vote all of the stuff that I've just say so yes by voting today in favor or against it by this option, they would express it also accepting this is a equally valid position it just
happened discussion
was what we said
last month or so who said he gets his documents from the law department about how we
optimize
there's nothing a pass current bylaws for the bylaws and voting this number of voting members as 25 that is never been actually questioned regarding the number of voting members to
optimize the optimizations
and now at this point, we have a motion for to smile so and now now we're talking about the results afterwards as well so let's have the
motion was made.
Some people's time,
especially on emotion management.
Okay, the motion
on the floor is that Tony's 300 in the
day until basically
so, to be clear, So this would allow us if we folks wanted me to go on a next slide, this will be the 30 days notice this is not to say based upon the most recent information it's a little unclear on one proceeding. So this gives us some time to modify the information what we could come right back here next month and say baseline clarity for our followers are based upon this all has to be started
so you should have status the latest version is to postpone voting on this issue 20 to be
extra zeros which by last until may be right how are those
in favor of the notion that you're going to do this this to this
favorite

love it
I'm sorry

I think will be a computer
way all right
yeah, it's not we're getting ready for another presentation that he's going to make oh
it is a very confusing meeting. You're not alone with a smart person. I'm glad you're here.
Isn't it during the singer but
he's getting his presentation I should have brought my own chair
for you all
okay
they can say something
about the
start the presentation Now sure, and at the time while they do whatever.
So long story short Hey, everybody, I'm turning sharp. I am the financial secretary for AIPAC. We were able to put together a really great website, as it was no, I want to say scrolling.
And as we know, one of our functions as they live an advisory board with the concept of participation, so having some type of website where everyone is allowed to see the land and you are resolutions being allowed were letters that are being sent, but also most importantly, just know what he has up to and also be able to view our meetings. So give me a sec. The walkthrough I do want to say is that right now it's just a drag. So if you see a photo up there yourself that you want change and how to do that. Are people really requesting? Biography? criteria. So here's some of our newer website from race was definitely an eye opening part of the record. As you scroll down in just a second this anything here, it's going to give you a little bit of a little bit further a little bit here. So take a look at what the Lincoln departure board is, this will be our homepage, where you want to go to that website to learn about board Bill made years ago with the VOC What do you call it? Contact top, just like other websites, it's going to be three simple ways home lenders and vowed to control the amount there for me is about as a welcome letter, go now select the format welcome letter. Anyone that in this website can know what we are all about what the same time are happening. Here's what we do. At the about tab, there's also going to be six and who are we put on there. And then there's offers from the chairs, and there's also members. So we want to click on offers if the chips are being presented. So you're there all persons in chairs are have everyone's pictures in there, go do some quick email on the email, but the email chairs or political committee chairs here, and the same exact thing we'll do is email all the chairs with me and say upcoming spring, the rest of the tablet software's committees extraordinaire there, you'll be able to click on each of the committees. So committees will be you know, whatever they want to display on their kind of company web page, they'll be able to send it to AIPAC and all the other data onto the page here, there's a calendar that's there, also. So that those that are coming to the website, want to see a meeting, if you click on meetings now. It will take you here and I just filled in a few things. So in theory on the perfect world, anyone would be able to come to this section, click play, and they'd be able to see it right here in real live action. As we're happy for me also, we have a CH in at the same time. So that's the meeting stage all about and then scroll over governance right there. Here's where people may be able to find a lot of our documents. So people who are looking for our bylaws, the legislation for the city, our appointments, if you want to click on infrastructure is the shoulder sector. I'm going to show you what our structure is, what's the parliamentarian who the parliamentarian is, what's a president's role. So all of this is going to be able to advise the council consultants are of your mind do to kind of show off what our brand is, who we are. And what we do is going to be my opinion, I started off actually the data point of this position, more simply, that a word EP use if they choose to also do so without a doubt this way, we want to be able to have a decaf laptop over here and learn all about it. But we also as an advisory board wanted to be able to provide convenience, as the number of them now we have 25 continues with single, actual websites, which means similar results. And we want to make it easy for them to have websites that they want to. And that's what this provides, they will have the opportunity to literally hit duplicate on this entire site, fill in all of their information and have a website that's ready to go forward. On that also is the same for you maybe have websites that are outdated, or even websites that maybe they can't even afford anymore. This is our website is free. It was built off of Google Sites. And I did like that to make it easy for everybody to come in and make the changes and adjustments but most importantly, it for reasons we don't have. It's still there because again, the site is completely reversed. So that's probably not going to be the website, our work. We want everybody to have a chance to clean all the copyrights their bios will send us around. We'll have a few weeks before we leave.
Yes, not first go and a bad writer has a website. The problem is maintaining it and keeping it current and how they can be embarrassing because it
has not been made
10 years ago, it was embarrassing for that reason. The content that you're showing us requires maintenance. and that bothers me that worries me. Because to be realistic, it's not happening this year that won't next year. So the format showing a lot of current office holders and that sort of thing is just not a good idea. I think if we can post the info, I realize there's not a lot of content you can work with, you had to produce some kind of graphic thing for us. And it's very nice what you've done. I think it's very expertly designed. But I can get back to the content issue. And what we want to put out there is something that will pretty much hold its own year after year after year, and not require extensive maintenance. So I think, I think that's a very important issue. And I think perhaps for the web, site, designers need someone to help them with input that can stand on its own, for example, you could lose all the resolutions that we've done for the last five years on the website, and that will be just fine. Because that's not going to change. What happened to them may not be discernible, but at least they'll be up there. And we're proud of those. We did those things. We're proud of them, they should be posted. And those are my thoughts, and we really should pay attention. I'll say
thank you, if the concern is keeping up to date, I think I'm hopefully self assurance because our department is in the process of updating a site on the city website. And it includes everything that I wasn't looking, but everything that I've heard is maybe on your
website.
So if you wanted to like virtual, we're doing the work of making sure that it's up to date regularly. So APAC wanted to take from that site. And
I think it's wonderful. You're engaging with us, what you've done here with this permitting department planning to
maintain the website, on our website.
The website used to be just a static page that had a few paragraphs describing I know. And it never really changed. It was good. Now, I'm not saying we should do that again. But
maybe you can help us come to some compromise on that. easily maintain. Keep it up.
I was reading Rich and I know what it was great. Based on what happened in the past, we are reading through
what's going on now
that we are better organization will be 10 years. And we should have a fair. Great work gets put on the shelf, because we have fear that we won't
get involved. So I think maybe we should have a check and balance to be able to mirror that the campers can have many different thoughts on different brands
and the information what you really want to see when you go
you don't want to miss that.
You want to if you want
I think it's a great spot
for your work on this forward and not always breastfeed. What happened here, understanding medical history and knowing how to go forward with that. My question is,
will there be in a city of Atlanta website? What will this site do different ways? Number one, number
two,
what action are we asking for as a result?
So I can The city of Atlanta does have web pages for meetings in Washington State in your article referring to the current campaign website, that's how it's currently set up. The agenda is on the fact that we refer to it as a new website and get great. Get just right into the correct. Sort of like, okay, so this new information about another one. I've been talking about this in a restaurant for quite some time. So I'm
sure for what.
Five years
dating in a
perfect world was What action are no more.
I'm just presenting as a sports and being adopted. Are we?
I did appreciate
you I recently quit.
Right. So I just wanted to, I guess, ask the question to prompt folks in the letter came up to visit the AICPA website and just create, it looks great. But then, from my understanding of what Lee is saying, Are you saying that there? Is there a website that the city has created another interesting page on the city of Atlanta website that talks about? There is a
there will be it exists, but it's not live? It's a section on the city's website, for a packet information correct. All of the the resolutions, the resolution responses, the board members who come late to the Live Meeting and committee meeting, all the public noticing stuff that hasn't necessarily been done. All of that will function through that website. Shepard
won't be able to claim what was the
picture will be
ly stupid, potentially
this site? Or will it be a tech person with this site? The
second question is on
a security infrastructure type of thing. If we
do
have a separate site, how does that look into the city of Atlanta site it and we see it. So will we be responsible for a data breach? This board will be responsible for a data breach of this separate site.
I cannot imagine any scenario or responsibility for the house. Exactly. So
if it's all in the city systems, they would definitely remediate and circle around rounds to make sure that our backers got to see into August city systems. Bye. Bye. It's a separate site meeting us and we have a breach. What's the protocol for us remedy that breach? Information got exposed and we want to have that.
To your question. I'm not necessarily the best person to speak to that, because that's not my area of expertise. I would say that. I would like to think that everything that you all touched is public property anyway. So there's no there shouldn't be secrets on the website that nobody else can have or should you know what I mean? No, I understand what you're getting Understood. Understood. I don't know if that's what you're getting. But if so,
if we're only talking about if we're trying to go I'm not talking about people's personal identifiable
information beyond their point where we get breached and then that person has to go and get credit monitoring services without signing on.
To a racist that my team discusses regularly with wind blowing outside of our current have in the past had in our in our
control recommended orders use internally
in our custody we've had in the past in our custody war information that I personally, and my team is not comfortable sharing. And we have been working for a while to try to get around that and figure out how we stopped valuing certain information because we don't want to share people's private information, decided to leave the Bucha address down here. We don't want to share that. So we don't take it in. And that is something to consider.
And this is
in conjunction with what they're saying.
If we do, and not just for this, but anybody setting up a website, legally, you cannot have any guys go without any issue with permission, on the same side of the city, and they give them and before they agree with our partners down, give me permission slips, because somebody calls up and they have to get started. You have to get a ticket way you do it is if you're an agency, so as far as the label, email that they send it in whatever form you ask them to send, you can put your photo on a public website. So always
so small, and
also, many of us are surprised that I don't have cell phones. No,
I wouldn't have I'm very disappointed. I appear transparent. I had no idea that ECP was working on a separate website to provide all of the things that was displayed on the website. as well. I think you hit it on the head, I understand myself, I just want to live up to this.
So
I've been a part of this organization. Seven years. And when I first think about the President's children. We've always had two websites. We had one that was a pet item. And we have one that has been around to give our notice on some PHP websites. Right. It has always been Congress of bind to that meeting. Challenge, like just now. I look forward. And does are you talking with government slash departments slash slash
found my team created that page about yourself.
There's always this on my website. With Windows, there wasn't one first one. The first one was collected that again, I guess it wasn't city paid. At the time, it wasn't being what we were not doing. So just because it was a city side, we had no way to play. So that is why she created initiatives social media platforms. So the next time we picked one of the posts so I want to touch upon the fact of us having two websites has always been a case. Now was there for legal analysis is going to be slash treatment, correct, of course having to go through all over the place. So but what I wanted to say is that, you know, I we have been spending money on both sides who leaves the house. We've always said we have to stay there Security gender purchase all those things so we choose to vote with someone now I do have no
females in this world
we are going to get from a person who knows
they should still
discuss this executive committee here is something like a $72
annual fee and we want to make sure that we have your email but
unlike Mr. Charge separate
process I did not know that of course
that assumes that they just get started
on our team and I think most of you know this already but our team is constantly working on improvements every day we're always working on something to make this system better to make the system better so yeah we've been working on the resources and support team day by day working on that for probably
question What about Facebook Facebook before we go any further so
was the last time
she told me the other day so I wanted to do my report so we're going to get a promotion is Tuesday
second favor please
know there are people that would be impacts committee reports last month so I don't know if there's any decent job for
that three years ago workforce and the by House
reports good okay
alright, so at this point we are reading
the bylaws committee does not report obviously discussion on bylaws but we do not have a fourth Once we've received any further information for the scheduled meeting, make sure that this happens but for now until we get further information on department we're not going to
hold the bottom we will not be until that accurate no no.
We don't need to we need to start formatting.
We haven't got a clue what we need to follow the template that Dan was just discussing. If there's something writing already I want to receive it and then we'll get scheduled.
So then after that, how's
it
going morning
So let's get mister Are you here for you business
no
you're crazy
you have anything to add to
not okay all right we can refer to Mr. Kessler
report for
last month was included in the packet we met today there was no action alright transportation
gives me an updated report two cents more than two weeks so it's one that speaks to zero the other is from slavery concert zero which is minimizing serious bodily injury occurred on the streets of Atlanta but more specifically you're looking at with Savannah how how we choose services here in Atlanta
so what I'm
trying to keep it as kind of three things
I would say are
email or shares
or any of their or their representatives to
if you can find any support
introduce themselves
and talk about what they have tried to do
and asking also
there are admin cells or delegate
email lists and so on utilities know
what's exciting he wants to your neck to belt where she comes from a family there was a
waiting list of ours
similar
to why she said that she said
to set for
recommending for
questions
is up to us to point to people to any individual it just seems like you know, we should cash credit.
But that's something that
I miss your work.
Okay, so in the interest of time, I'll just run through everything. And so, you know, announce me announcements, but you haven't put in your packets are 2023 MPA University Catalog. Quick shout out to Mr. Marshall was featured on the cover. I always made the big one day and I wanted to show the catalog is designed to bid on of a smaller version of a coffee table book but it is filled with a lot of really great photography. And it features a number of neighborhoods across the city. The cover photo was from our mobile workshop is with 22 which was historic preservation. That's a tour of historic parks. So thank you, Mr. Martin, and basically the catalogs and as always, please encourage your neighbors and anyone else is interested to participate in university classes. I want to definitely talk about the CIT the community impact grant if time permits, I would really really talk about it. This has not been over Good year for the community impact grant. Today we've awarded $84,000 to 11. And, and we had to, we were only able to award six in the US funding is six or seven at first. Thank you for joining me, we're only able to award six interviews on day one, the first round, every other that apply deficiencies in the application one way or a number of questions that needed to be answered that were not addressed, things that were not cleared, et cetera. As always, we're going to do our part to improve the application so that we so that you are clear on what information we need. I think the challenge that we had is that over the last few years, while we were trying to improve the application, we were also trying to shorten the application, because we realized there's not a whole lot of money, he didn't want you to have to fill out 12 pages of stuff to get over the dollars. So we tried to short the application. But we still do need because of this public funding taxpayer dollars, we have to get accurate information and growth. When Tony gives it to me, I can't stop word for Tony. Okay, weapon, when they give it to me, I can sign off on it if I can't defend it. And just yesterday to process stuff, and our Commissioner immediately sent me an elf. Which was encouraging to me because it means that you know, I know someone who's actually looking at this, and it has to be ready. Not really happy about that. But we're still trying to work through some of the others. And I'm not really sure how that's gonna turn out. So that's a big 11 awarded so far only $4,000. I mentioned last month, I think I mentioned last month that we were the same way that we agreed distribution with that we have a distribution list for meeting notifications. For me, he was doing the same thing for AIPAC. So do you would like to receive meeting notices you're on the board. So you're gonna get the agenda packet anyway, via email, if you'd like to receive meeting notices, or if anyone in your NPU wants to receive meeting notices just have an email MPU Atlanta and Atlanta ga.gov, we will add them to the list. And then each month, they will get their levy link all of the agenda, packet materials, etc. Or a link to all of that information. We are still working on the rules of the forum. And I also noticed that that was in the presentation here. And that you don't have a working group on that. So please, whoever's on that group, we're leaving that in, please make sure that we have good communication, so that we can share with you what we have, and we get your feedback. And so basically,
we continue to just tried to take some of the load off. Of course, whatever, anyway, we're working on the goal is to pour alcohol licenses. I want to make clear, again, that MPU cannot require applicants to attend any meetings other than the meeting that we include on their notice to appear with the Neighbourhood Plan. And if you use that not require alcohol license applicants to attend any other meetings, other than what is included on the notice. That also applies to especially women applications as well.
So you're
quite correct. Thank you, Wes. Let's request what you can what you can request you can invite, what you cannot do is require and what you should not do is make your recommendation conditional upon their appearance. Don't get us into trouble and it's just another it's one of those things that doesn't look good. And causes people to make complaints and things that go against the work that we're trying to do to elevate the profile of the immune system and value. What we what we normally use, again directly for the reading to what they know or stand
for what we usually say to entities that you're located in the community or not mandating.
And rewriting the request.
That's fine. Can't be a requirement.
Absolutely. You made clear that something is
correct. And to be clear, that is covered in our tears training. I think it's covered in other places, too. And I think there might have been, I believe I've sent an email to the chairs as well about that in the past. So anything we need to do to make sure everyone knows that, I will certainly do that. I want to make three of the things that I save for last, because they're really, really important. We're doing a pilot program this month, and next month with just five NVQs to kind of sum up feedback and suggestions on whether it is viable, and if so how to proceed. That pilot, unfortunately, isn't set or participating in the pilot right now, I can tell you later if you're interested in knowing, but what we are doing is I've been a little unsatisfied for a really long time about how the department shares, information updates, etc. With the interviews and internally, we call it the church announcements. I don't like us, they use our planning support in a format that feels like church announcements and doesn't add value to the meeting. So what we're looking to do is couple the announcements that we have for important meetings that are coming up on Sunday 2.0 like thank you can be L S. A W EDS, employ Ellison Larry s&c And a significant list of w, s and w are the fire.
Balls are big, and I couldn't think of something
I'm trying to hurry up. So in addition to reporting on things like going to meetings coming up for university classes, we will be sharing an update on the voting islands. Where is the what is the current status of whatever you voted on last month, or the month before, and we're trying to figure out whether it needs to be quarterly, we're also trying to work through the issues that have a really high volume, and know that they have a really small volume, etc. So I'll report more attacks next month, hopefully, and let you know where we are with that. And the following month as well. If it works, well, we will be rolling that out citywide. participate together. Thank you, thank you, thank you to the members of the board who participated in our participate ATM advisory group. That initiative is our areas for me for the MPU and system. We came out of that two hour session with 10 recommendations, nine of which were supported by me and then supported by department leadership for funding immediately. We have already been done moving forward on all nine of those recommendations. And I'll share more about number 10 later, but I think we might even have a path forward to move forward with recommendation number 10, which was kind of big. So we will be doing a lot in the coming months to get the word out of the city. Why mailers including a media campaign, including a bunch of other stuff. I will be happy to share that with y'all in writing. And yes, I shared it with the folks from here that participated in the conversation just to let you know the status of the discussion and the recommendation.
No, no, I just said I'll share it with you all. I'm sorry, that wasn't clear. I will share that with you all as well. The last item on my list, which is really, really important is I would like to introduce for discussion, an update to the best practices that we've worked together on we have an ongoing issue with neighborhood record recognition standards that I think could be addressed in the best practices documents. In brief, I will tell you that they are. The issue is that the city relies on the MPU for residents that represent the community recognizing that there aren't enough people with the expertise to really really represent the community, but we want it to be as representative as you possibly can be. The problem comes in when the FPU does not allow for I'm sorry when the MPU recognizes neighborhood association that do not allow participation or that discriminate against people in ways that, obviously, we don't legislate that we don't have that sort of relationship with neighborhood associations. But you do. And we will definitely buy a proposal that addresses that. So that neighborhood associations cannot prohibit people. Wait, I want to make that clear. So that NVQs will adopt some sort of standard that encourages neighborhood associations, not to prohibit people from participating in their neighborhood associations. Alright, that's it. I'll call some language on that. But I wanted to throw it here before I send it.
Okay, for questions. But do we have any?
Oh, no.
After
we finally got three down like seven to go. But we didn't get as far as two or three of 2022 resolutions, and our department leadership sends out correspondents that basically encourage people to get this done ASAP. So I am expecting it to know that two of the resolutions are being worked on. As we speak. I was asked if the department leader should ask them to get into the pipeline, he did not. But I expect to get it like when you say when you have as well. But we have worked, we're finally getting some movement on the responses to the resolution. And hopefully moving forward, we will be able to maintain our department does not stay within 30 days.
I think all three of those were responses to resolutions, DHS wide measures. And so we can discuss those at the upcoming meeting with that committee.
Yes,
so the union you have you sent them off and somebody else and they respond and then you cover their response?
No, so as I can answer that, so I've been trying to get to what happens with the with the resolutions, is that lead me or someone on my team, emails, the resolution to all the appropriate folks, it is a resolution directed planning, it goes to the commissioner of planning and the appropriate person for whoever's purview it is in it also goes to city council to the mayor's office, and I think the clerk's office I'm going on here, but we send it out pretty widely. And then we follow up with the Department of review or departments to get a response. I obviously have a lot more influence, I guess, to get responses from those resolutions that are addressed to my department. With other folks it's you know, supernatural bending
their chances of ever getting
as long as you
can, in that person we follow for recognition process. People that have an offer. to shatter guys. We want to shout out someone who has weighed on Civ
yields and public comments, so we can get that in. Okay.
So, coming to the new CD,
Mr. timbre,
I do want to say I'm resigning from my appointment as a teacher. I will not continue to search for my voice or powers and I will not stand by anyone or anything that supports bigotry of any sort. Whether it's diminishing work to clear bias someone's age, whether it's the masculinization of a black man, or oppression of any sort of its black indigenous people of color, and supporting without personal agendas. I'm taking my power back serving people in those spaces where I've seen her
so, from the center of decision in New Delhi, is that what you heard? That is factual.
Or you had a
cell tower moment
for hours, so this would be ideal. For this week, our father gave us basic department requests that they will go over servicing, counting round because the length of the bus route to the being the route and that creates something called a two mile walk to the next cluster. Which, if you honestly let it go too far, it's
just a tiny by jumping
roll up to their brain area, walking from a very protects the second one. So there's this kind of sketch and they take these notes, it's done. It's an amazing comment, or feedback and by my kitchen bathroom to establish that our program we can take up the dress market limited area that does use public transportation for numbers that's available the same week with their faces extend the allocated money here about nine minutes out for the record
that is nice. Because they said the road is not violent.
And so it wasn't so much
we're aware of that that was eliminated. Let's get to the next lesson.
Washing cookies this morning is falling down in the comments. You.
I'm Shari, thank you so much. for that. I just
want to make a quick announcement about both of you guys. hour. And of course, you know, are there certain
certain conditions
for safe, reliable, reasonably priced electric, natural gas and telecommunications. But you saw a rate increase in January, you saw credit on your loans. But did you know that you're probably better for another electricity increase? That will be $23 per month. A lot of folks are having a hard time now trying to decide what to do. And and that's medical school medicine and electricity. So we have Georgia conservation education. We have four actions that are advocating against this measure. So if Georgia Power is your electricity company, then email that the Public Services Commission has five commissioners, none of them have been duly elected by the people. They were all appointed a few months or a couple of years before their six year before the six year term ended. And then they ran later to pass and then come the last time that happened was in July when Governor camera pointed this Johnson in the lower left but this is in July so he will be on the ballot. Whenever we make PSC election happens, so we're educating people because I'll be able to hop and we'll determine across the street from here on May 2 to May 3, to navigate to an advocate against this great time. Best of luck For $300 per year and a lot of our seniors and our children are already suffering. Raise your hand if you can live without like this. Okay, so we have done it before. We need to make sure that it is affordable. And so please join us. If you are not available on May 2 23rd. Then we are having a virtual conference next week. We also have a letter writing campaign I have the letters the venue invites ready to go with the pen so we just go and fill out the information take a picture of it, and also know that it can be any additional information employed, I'm happy to email me at Sherry sh er R, Y, and G. C voters that hold that shared at sh er, G. C folder. Thank you very, very much. And when the younger devices they're gonna show up and support us and this is awesome. Thank you so much
reputation jarred out here
right now
here
we're not figured out.
Thank you, Mr.
Roth is making that recommendation but Glover did indicate to the next day that she's interested in that position. So it makes less money
you might have this interest in Georgia Power. I don't know.
Want to show you
right. Now, this is another tool such as
website, which the ladder Community Association and
commerce market scores, games. Boxes,
want to hear anything about
federal laws or something like this?
Everybody
like
30 seconds. Quick in regards to the Education Committee, we need somebody and I also recommend for
somebody who understands public
education
and securing the way of education,
but maybe because we haven't a lot of different small privatizing schools that want to help us out by the public school learning, Connor caused a lot of issues with zoning. And so whoever sits in that spot, and I'm also a member of that community, I want to work hand in hand with him, but also just whoever gets a spot, they have to really be online. They really have to fight. Right.
Right. And for the children, right, and have children happy to also have children Yes.
The CRJ greetings. My NVQs specifically use rest of the process for various reasons that I'm planning knows if you're having so much problem with your response and forms being filled out in adequately, etc. Does that not say something about the process? That's not really what I would suggest that possibly repair such that once you find a problem with humans best one on one time by way of reporting on whatever it is, and so that you can get the results that you're looking for. I think it's so factor one speaks for itself, that you're having such a poor response. Even the specific NTU was not filling up the form may not be educated enough or whatever, there is a problem. And the UQ has been involved with this problem, since, like three cycles.
So, if I may, we agree with you totally. And one of the things that we've talked about the contract with Nautilus is extremely passionate about. One of the things that we talked about is providing technical assistance during the process, while hearing the application was a little bit more hand holding for those that need a lot more handling. And instead of doing the quarterly check ins, some interviews will be required to do much of the checking to make sure that the funds are being sent the way they were proved to be bad for the application, it really is an application issue. And we will do what we can to improve that we'll continue working on it and improving it. But one of those things definitely has to include requesting Band Aid, reminding folks that know that they will need help to submit their applications early. The problem is that a lot of people wait until 1159. And they kind of shove it through and it's missing everything. And because we're all so friendly and we love this work. They just know that we'll sign off on it anyway. But we really cannot do that. We just cannot the CIC I know that the award letter for tea leaf go out today I just thought it was at a project for a while.
And was it was stated in a meeting of the minds that they were trying that they were under punishment that they were singled out, and I assured them that that is not the case. We just are receiving information and other times basis. You know, we did have to scramble format. But I we didn't realize that there is protocols and it's not like 10 years ago where are you submitted anything and there was a wiggling process. So playing
catch up if you don't mind letting your neighbors know there were 12 or 11 in the US at least at least 10 Let's say it that way that did not get awarded on the first round because there were problems with your affirmations Q with n cubed even have a problem with the application we can always do that
