WEBVTT 00:00:00.066 --> 00:00:07.482 - Okay, it is nine o'clock. We are in order and present is Hopi Stasberg from District 3 and myself and 00:00:07.482 --> 00:00:14.826 - Claire Crossley, yeah, we're here. So, all right, what do we need to talk about? The only thing that 00:00:14.826 --> 00:00:22.097 - we have, I think originally I had scheduled this meeting because we needed to talk about the public 00:00:22.097 --> 00:00:29.950 - transportation board scenario, but that got taken care of last week. So really the only thing that you have 00:00:30.402 --> 00:00:37.417 - Um, you still always will have, um, the issues with BU EA and trying to find somebody. It's just not 00:00:37.417 --> 00:00:44.639 - a thing that's working, but you do have one thing, which is the commission on the status of black males 00:00:44.639 --> 00:00:51.932 - to do resign back in July. There is one application, justice Felton and, um, Crystal, who is the liaison 00:00:51.932 --> 00:00:56.446 - for wrote yesterday that she highly recommended this individual. 00:00:56.866 --> 00:01:03.539 - And he apparently in 2021 won the outstanding leaders of tomorrow. So, Oh yeah. I remember him justice. 00:01:03.539 --> 00:01:10.083 - Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And so that's it. That's literally it. Are you happy to appointment? Yeah. I looked 00:01:10.083 --> 00:01:16.499 - at his application and it looks great. So I'll move that we appoint justice Belton to CC two on the 00:01:16.499 --> 00:01:21.054 - commission on the status of black man. That will happily second. Okay. 00:01:21.218 --> 00:01:30.458 - And as much makes, which makes it irrelevant to call for votes, but we have to do it totally in favor. 00:01:30.458 --> 00:01:39.519 - Okay. So I will put this in the packet. Um, are they okay with that timing? Do we like, you're good. 00:01:39.519 --> 00:01:49.566 - There's no, it's October 14th. Exactly. So they, they should be a special session to actually keep us from, um, 00:01:49.698 --> 00:01:56.117 - But yeah, that's, other than that, I'm looking at all the rest of the things. You all are. That's, 00:01:56.117 --> 00:02:02.861 - that's it. No, I had a thought just reminding me after this meeting. It doesn't relate to this meeting. 00:02:02.861 --> 00:02:09.670 - Um, I'm just scrolling through just, I'm like, I looked at your spreadsheet like five times this morning 00:02:09.670 --> 00:02:14.014 - and make sure. No, you guys are literally good. That's so awesome. 00:02:14.210 --> 00:02:20.883 - We've been very efficient this year. I really appreciate it. Thank you very much. Yeah. And I think 00:02:20.883 --> 00:02:27.689 - it also helps to hopefully the other colleagues can maybe do this in the future too. Like the liaison 00:02:27.689 --> 00:02:34.628 - part where if somebody's talking and as an individual and then you can either come back to this meeting 00:02:34.628 --> 00:02:39.966 - or in council, like that really moves things a lot faster. Before we go though, 00:02:40.290 --> 00:02:48.009 - Uh, in terms of the public transportation board and move from five to seven. Yeah, I reached out. So 00:02:48.009 --> 00:02:56.034 - at their last meeting, they also discussed that and I'm not sure that there's like clarity on both sides 00:02:56.034 --> 00:02:58.174 - about how exactly to do it. 00:02:58.274 --> 00:03:04.649 - Um, they seem to be under the impression that they can do it independently of counsel. Yes, we have 00:03:04.649 --> 00:03:11.151 - to change title to. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That's exactly what we have. So I sent an email to, 00:03:11.151 --> 00:03:15.294 - so they, so James and Nancy ended up, but they're all important. 00:03:15.874 --> 00:03:21.726 - Well, no, they ended up being like the subcommittee or whatever they want to call it, like the working 00:03:21.726 --> 00:03:27.465 - group to work on that. So I had messaged them to try to get in touch with them to talk about it. And 00:03:27.465 --> 00:03:33.260 - I had staff of, I can't remember which fellow anymore, put together like a little summary of pros and 00:03:33.260 --> 00:03:36.158 - cons. That's that and the other thing. Okay, cool. 00:03:36.290 --> 00:03:45.366 - And so, I am generally supportive, like, I think that my only concern really is how difficult it might 00:03:45.366 --> 00:03:51.710 - be to find another Republican and so and that is one of the one of the. 00:03:51.810 --> 00:03:59.045 - challenges on that list and just making sure to find people to serve. But I also mentioned it in the 00:03:59.045 --> 00:04:06.423 - CCP meeting, and they were also like, yeah, pursue that in terms of the research and see what happens. 00:04:06.423 --> 00:04:13.658 - We have another one this meeting next week. I'm hoping to get in touch, like to be able to meet with 00:04:13.658 --> 00:04:16.094 - James and Nancy. Well, most other 00:04:16.610 --> 00:04:24.456 - Cities have that size? Yes, that have this kind of public transportation corporation and several changed 00:04:24.456 --> 00:04:32.078 - to seven members in the last, I can't remember how many years because I don't have that. I also think 00:04:32.078 --> 00:04:38.430 - that thinking ahead, it was mentioned multiple times and it seems like the necessary 00:04:38.754 --> 00:04:45.588 - Outcome in some point in the future is that are you and BT are going to do something, right? It seems 00:04:45.588 --> 00:04:52.355 - appropriate. It seems right. Like, it seems like the right thing. And so it makes sense then also in 00:04:52.355 --> 00:04:55.102 - that context to have a larger board and. 00:04:55.202 --> 00:05:02.106 - Well, the other thing that they mentioned at that meeting was because we've expanded to outside of city 00:05:02.106 --> 00:05:09.011 - limits and transit is not as much. So then there's this potential need for greater collaboration within 00:05:09.011 --> 00:05:11.998 - county and Alexville. And so, and right now, 00:05:12.738 --> 00:05:20.028 - I can't remember right now whether code limits those numbers to within the city limits or not, but that 00:05:20.028 --> 00:05:27.038 - is another element of how we should think about this in terms of that greater collaboration. That's 00:05:27.038 --> 00:05:34.538 - a whole nother element. That actually does remind me. Because that makes me less worried about the finding 00:05:34.538 --> 00:05:37.342 - a person if we were to change it to be. 00:05:37.602 --> 00:05:46.362 - The other thing might be within the urbanized area, because then that mimics MPO language. Yeah. Yeah. 00:05:46.362 --> 00:05:54.866 - I'd be really happy to agree with those things. Yeah. So anyway, that's kind of just like the train 00:05:54.866 --> 00:06:03.966 - of research that I'm going down to think about. Very exciting. Very excited. I think we're good right now. 00:06:04.322 --> 00:06:11.752 - I just have to meet with all these folks and like CCP, it kind of, you know, it's falling under. That's 00:06:11.752 --> 00:06:17.182 - a lot of things. Anyway. Any other business? No, that's great. Okay. Great.
