WEBVTT 00:00:00.130 --> 00:00:11.606 - Yeah, I call this interview committee B meeting to order. Okay, thank you. You're welcome. And so the 00:00:11.606 --> 00:00:23.082 - only thing that you all have in terms of vacancies is the MLK birthday celebration commission. And so 00:00:23.082 --> 00:00:27.582 - all of a sudden we got two applications 00:00:27.746 --> 00:00:34.300 - which has been good because we have not had any applications for a while. And it's had trouble making 00:00:34.300 --> 00:00:41.175 - a quorum, right? Yes and no. And so they've had some vacancies since the beginning of the year. We haven't 00:00:41.175 --> 00:00:47.794 - been able to fill them. The mayoral appointments are filled. Great. So that's good. And so I know that 00:00:47.794 --> 00:00:50.878 - sometimes the staff liaison was explaining that 00:00:51.586 --> 00:00:58.827 - They normally have people that leave for the summer, and sometimes they have some important deadlines 00:00:58.827 --> 00:01:06.067 - that they are working on in preparation for next year's celebration that they have to do like they do 00:01:06.067 --> 00:01:13.237 - during the summer and whatnot. And so CORM could turn into an issue. And so I figure, ooh, let's get 00:01:13.237 --> 00:01:20.478 - Team B in a meeting real quick before y'all go on recess. So these are two applications that we have. 00:01:20.962 --> 00:01:37.796 - Ruiz and Lissandra McCoy. And so Jatana. And there's only one opening. Okay. Great. Yeah. So this is 00:01:37.796 --> 00:01:49.630 - her application. Okay. So she has some experience. And I think she was 00:01:49.954 --> 00:02:04.114 - Also, I think she was encouraged to apply by Dr. Gloria Howe, who has also been on the commission for 00:02:04.114 --> 00:02:14.942 - a while. And so this is her here. And then, LaSondra. She has experience too. 00:02:19.970 --> 00:02:34.435 - He used to be a BPD social worker. Wow. She's impressive. Well, I mean, I guess our options at this 00:02:34.435 --> 00:02:47.454 - point are to invite both of them in to interview, or we could just appoint somebody today 00:02:48.354 --> 00:02:56.284 - off of these two without doing an interview. You could. And then you can make that appointment at your 00:02:56.284 --> 00:03:04.059 - next meeting. Right. If we want to get somebody a place for the summer, that's probably the only way 00:03:04.059 --> 00:03:11.758 - to do it. What was your guidance speech? These are two really good people. And so I think the staff 00:03:11.758 --> 00:03:15.838 - liaison, I think, favors Lysandra a little bit more. 00:03:16.194 --> 00:03:23.360 - Um, but I do know that the student also has been asking, how can I help? What can I do? I'm here, 00:03:23.360 --> 00:03:30.526 - you know, what, what can I do? So this is, this is really hard because the both of them are very, 00:03:30.526 --> 00:03:38.057 - very good. I mean, in the interest of being able to get them quorum over the summer, in case they need 00:03:38.057 --> 00:03:45.150 - it, I feel like we should just pick someone today, but I don't want to turn anybody away without 00:03:45.698 --> 00:03:51.889 - Hearing from them either. Hey, I don't want them to feel like they didn't have a chance. So, but, but, 00:03:51.889 --> 00:03:58.200 - but waiting to hear from someone, I mean, wait, waiting to interview or talk to them automatically means 00:03:58.200 --> 00:04:04.451 - we do the department after break. Yeah. Yeah. So they won't. So my question simply is purely, does that 00:04:04.451 --> 00:04:10.942 - likely to cause any kind of problem? Because it's not like it caused any problem at all. Should I say then. 00:04:11.138 --> 00:04:18.113 - I'd say, why not wait? But if it's likely there's any problem at all, I feel like we should do it, because 00:04:18.113 --> 00:04:24.762 - that's part of the reason we agreed to try to get, they just applied last month, right, both of them? 00:04:24.762 --> 00:04:31.541 - Yeah. I mean, my other question is, are there openings on any other boards or commissions that we might 00:04:31.541 --> 00:04:38.320 - encourage one of them to, hey, unfortunately, this wasn't available, but we would love for you to apply 00:04:38.320 --> 00:04:40.862 - for, not that we can't. Yeah, I think. 00:04:42.370 --> 00:04:57.072 - Is she an undergraduate at IU? So is she here for the summer? I'm trying to look, but all of them literally 00:04:57.072 --> 00:05:11.774 - are, they're all there for a while. Yeah. I do believe that there is another vacancy on another commission. 00:05:12.290 --> 00:05:23.669 - Potentially. I think I've just learned of this within the past week. So the HRC has an appointment to 00:05:23.669 --> 00:05:35.494 - the commission on the status of black males. And so there is a potential vacancy there. Yeah. So there's, 00:05:35.494 --> 00:05:41.406 - yeah, this is the only other thing that I think that 00:05:41.602 --> 00:05:51.869 - we could get a workaround of this is you were the liaison to the MLK commission. And I've reached out 00:05:51.869 --> 00:06:01.935 - to Aubrey to see, that's the staff liaison to see like, what would her take be? And I haven't heard 00:06:01.935 --> 00:06:08.478 - anything back from her. The only thing that I could think of is, 00:06:11.522 --> 00:06:21.195 - Now, could you have your meeting next week? And then that's it. Because technically you could make an 00:06:21.195 --> 00:06:31.343 - appointment, like you could talk about it and make an appointment and you can reach out to the individuals 00:06:31.343 --> 00:06:40.542 - and then make your recommendation based upon like your findings from talking to the individuals. 00:06:41.026 --> 00:06:52.268 - Um, but honestly, these are really, really good applications. And that's the part. And I would have 00:06:52.268 --> 00:07:04.185 - hoped to had somebody say something by now. So, so, you know, with her experience that I read background, 00:07:04.185 --> 00:07:09.694 - um, it seems like she'd be very powerful on what 00:07:09.922 --> 00:07:16.514 - Commission on status of black males to maybe more so there's a student to see what she might bring to 00:07:16.514 --> 00:07:23.365 - that. So if we really knew that there was an opening that could be filled fairly soon on that commission. 00:07:23.365 --> 00:07:29.763 - Yeah, but we also don't have that under our purview. We don't get to say. Look at what she's done. 00:07:29.763 --> 00:07:36.290 - She's very. So I would just think of that on the Commission on status of black males would be really 00:07:36.290 --> 00:07:39.134 - good. What do you think about that thought? 00:07:41.378 --> 00:07:48.550 - And if we, we're going to offer something up, someone else that we want to really be productive and 00:07:48.550 --> 00:07:55.793 - helpful to the community. That is one way to go. I, you know, to encourage her to apply or even just 00:07:55.793 --> 00:08:03.467 - say to that interview committee, if we sent somebody your way, you know, we hope you'll at least interview 00:08:03.467 --> 00:08:08.702 - her because we think she's incredibly strong. And people have done that. 00:08:09.122 --> 00:08:16.665 - I mean, the other option is to, you know, if we just, or well, and, or do that. And I guess do that. 00:08:16.665 --> 00:08:24.133 - And also message to whoever we don't choose. Hey, we want you to keep an eye on this commission. We 00:08:24.133 --> 00:08:31.901 - want you on this commission. We just don't have the room right now. You know, please don't go far. When 00:08:31.901 --> 00:08:38.174 - there's a seat open, we want you to apply and we want you to be there. Or honestly. 00:08:39.906 --> 00:08:50.283 - If it's up in the air and these are really two great applicants, honestly, it might be the best thing 00:08:50.283 --> 00:09:00.660 - to just say, let's just wait. Let's just wait until you can have a chance to interview and get a feel 00:09:00.660 --> 00:09:05.950 - for who they are and what they would want to bring. 00:09:06.146 --> 00:09:13.556 - So I don't think we can go wrong with either one. That's not my concern. My concern is discouragement 00:09:13.556 --> 00:09:20.820 - of them. I don't want to lose either one of them for their contributions. I'm happy to wait. If you 00:09:20.820 --> 00:09:28.375 - think it's not going to mess up any of it. I was hoping to have something back by now, and I don't have 00:09:28.375 --> 00:09:35.422 - anything. And so I know sometimes the staff liaisons look at those things, and then they give it 00:09:36.002 --> 00:09:43.822 - give us the recommendations or they will tell me and then I usually tell you all. But I haven't seen 00:09:43.822 --> 00:09:51.720 - anything back yet and so. So tells you the Navy is not quite urgent. Maybe not as much as what it was 00:09:51.720 --> 00:09:59.617 - what it was possibly thought out to me. Yeah. And I think they can still from my understanding to and 00:09:59.617 --> 00:10:05.502 - talking it over before or after the emails have gone through it sounds like 00:10:05.890 --> 00:10:14.627 - they potentially could continue on. Because like, if they can't, the only thing is we can have a meet 00:10:14.627 --> 00:10:23.364 - in, you know, like a little bit before, like after you all get back and, you know, do an interview of 00:10:23.364 --> 00:10:32.100 - the two and appointed that way, because technically you're missing, they might miss two meetings, but 00:10:32.100 --> 00:10:33.214 - I think it's 00:10:33.634 --> 00:10:40.879 - Their applications expire early August. Those actually, it's OK. So a person, I wish we could change 00:10:40.879 --> 00:10:48.052 - this in onboard. So technically, once a person applies, it's really one year after they've applied. 00:10:48.052 --> 00:10:55.513 - Oh, OK. It expires. OK. I'm actually putting their next meeting in my calendar. It's June 24. I haven't 00:10:55.513 --> 00:11:02.686 - done any of my liaison meetings yet. So I have caps in my calendar already for, I think, next week. 00:11:03.746 --> 00:11:11.641 - I'm going to do this one in June. Have you done any of your liaison? Attended any of your meetings yet? 00:11:11.641 --> 00:11:18.701 - Well, yeah. I was about to say, oh, you make me feel better. But now you know. I did e-read. 00:11:18.701 --> 00:11:26.672 - You did what? I don't know. OK. OK. So let me ask you about this. OK, so you're saying we have six weeks 00:11:26.672 --> 00:11:32.062 - off starting on the 10th. And so it'd be late July, basically, when we 00:11:32.514 --> 00:11:39.834 - And then we could make this appointment by early August. So yeah, they would miss June 24th, July 22nd. 00:11:39.834 --> 00:11:47.014 - I think that's actually our first meeting back. I think it's July 22nd. So then they would be able to 00:11:47.014 --> 00:11:54.475 - get in for the August 1st. And we'd have to miss that July. And we can do interviews during break, right? 00:11:54.475 --> 00:11:58.558 - I mean, I'll be around a lot. I'll be around. If you can. 00:11:58.690 --> 00:12:07.267 - That's fine. I can reach out. And so like, that's just, that's the only thing that you guys have is 00:12:07.267 --> 00:12:16.530 - just the one thing here. So honestly, I wasn't sure like people were traveling or whatnot. And so honestly, 00:12:16.530 --> 00:12:23.134 - if you'll be around, then this is okay. And we can still try to do something 00:12:23.490 --> 00:12:30.622 - Even later on this month, I can send out another invitation to see when you all would be available and 00:12:30.622 --> 00:12:37.616 - then let them know, hey, we got some interviews scheduled, when would you be able to be? In essence, 00:12:37.616 --> 00:12:44.609 - they might not be able to do it this meeting, but in July, maybe by the time that they meet again in 00:12:44.609 --> 00:12:51.326 - July, I'll hear back from the staff liaison and then we would have been able to interview. Okay. 00:12:51.490 --> 00:12:58.765 - Let's do that. I don't want to make a choice without speaking to either of them and make anybody feel 00:12:58.765 --> 00:13:06.039 - that they're not wanted because we want both of them. Yeah. And we can't have both of them. Yeah. And 00:13:06.039 --> 00:13:13.314 - they're both really good applications. And so I'll be around the whole time. OK. Yeah. I'm just going 00:13:13.314 --> 00:13:20.446 - to be gone the week before we come back. Before we start back. Yeah. Otherwise, I'm in and out. OK. 00:13:20.738 --> 00:13:33.300 - Well, other than that, Team B, that is the only vacant C. Let me go back and look at your, I mean, besides 00:13:33.300 --> 00:13:45.393 - CAPS, and that's a work in progress. Unfortunately, we just don't have the applications, and that just 00:13:45.393 --> 00:13:49.854 - stinks. So unless somebody did, fine. 00:13:50.370 --> 00:14:08.613 - And I don't think so. Because I try to monitor this one. No applications. Because the last person that 00:14:08.613 --> 00:14:20.126 - I had reached out to. That's weird. Where's? Oh, OK. Oh, that's. 00:14:20.578 --> 00:14:28.359 - I've reached out to these individuals and I have never heard anything back. And they didn't have phone 00:14:28.359 --> 00:14:35.913 - numbers in their applications for me to even try to follow up with the phone call. And I've emailed 00:14:35.913 --> 00:14:43.694 - multiple times and I haven't heard anything. Okay. So I usually take that as somebody's not interested 00:14:43.694 --> 00:14:49.662 - if they've not responded. Yeah. So. All right. But other than that, that's it. 00:14:50.274 --> 00:14:56.208 - That was easy. Yeah. All right. I move. You said it'd be easy. Yeah. Yeah. I end call this meeting to 00:14:56.208 --> 00:14:57.022 - an end. Okay.
