WEBVTT 00:00:00.706 --> 00:00:16.704 - Good evening, everybody. It is May 21st, 2026. This is the Monroe County Women's Commission. I will 00:00:16.704 --> 00:00:29.022 - call this meeting to order. It's Maria. She's not. I know Jody's on her way. 00:00:31.746 --> 00:00:42.076 - We do have 2, 4, 5 people here, so that is quorum. The commission shall serve in an advisory role to 00:00:42.076 --> 00:00:52.815 - assist residents, businesses, and the government of Monroe County in addressing issues of gender equity. 00:00:52.815 --> 00:01:01.406 - The mission is to advance the status of women in marginalized genders in all areas. 00:01:01.602 --> 00:01:11.296 - You sent out the minutes, every one, I saw one adjustment was asked for. I adjusted and sent back out. 00:01:11.296 --> 00:01:20.802 - Perfect. Do I have a motion to accept the April minute? I make a motion to accept the April minutes. 00:01:20.802 --> 00:01:30.590 - Second. Second. We have a motion and a second to approve the minutes from our April meeting. We'll do a 00:01:31.554 --> 00:01:40.289 - on. Is Maria on? Yeah. Okay, cool. Julie Hardesty. Yes. Tiana. Yes. Rose. So close. Not even. 00:01:40.289 --> 00:01:50.326 - Jennifer Belton. Present and accounted for. No, you're agreeing. Oh, I agree. Or disagreed for the minutes. 00:01:50.326 --> 00:01:58.782 - I said, okay, I'm the one that did the minutes. So of course I agree. Molly Otto. I agree. 00:01:59.106 --> 00:02:11.708 - Yes, and Maria Douglas. We're making them approving the minutes from April. I saw that he did. I didn't. 00:02:11.708 --> 00:02:22.270 - I don't see her. I don't see her on there. She's here. She's in the waiting room. Well. 00:02:34.914 --> 00:02:43.895 - We'll accept the minutes for April. Commissioner updates. Commissioner Otto, do you have any updates 00:02:43.895 --> 00:02:52.965 - in our older ongoing business? No, we have updates in the subcommittee. Perfect. But other than that, 00:02:52.965 --> 00:03:02.301 - I don't accept. There was one thing that I saw regarding May being mental health. There was a conference 00:03:02.301 --> 00:03:03.902 - or something held 00:03:04.066 --> 00:03:11.517 - by the Indiana Chamber of Commerce in conjunction with the Wellness Council of Indiana in Minneapolis 00:03:11.517 --> 00:03:18.822 - on women's wellness at work. And I was not aware of it, so I did not attend. But I just saw some of 00:03:18.822 --> 00:03:26.858 - the things about it. So I want to do a little bit more research and see if there are some data and statistics 00:03:26.858 --> 00:03:32.702 - from that. But I don't have anything to present right now. Commissioner Belton. 00:03:33.474 --> 00:03:49.437 - No updates. Commissioner Roje. No updates. She was and now she's gone again. Yeah, she keeps going. 00:03:49.437 --> 00:04:02.526 - Well, if we ever get her in here, I will. Commissioner Hart, outside of Oldenham. 00:04:03.810 --> 00:04:11.685 - She's saying, I think she's saying she gets connected and she's getting kicked out. So it's something 00:04:11.685 --> 00:04:19.407 - going on, but she's trying. I don't have any updates. I don't think in the Freedom Schools Steering 00:04:19.407 --> 00:04:27.436 - Committee, I'm co-chairing. Maria was mentioning it last month. That's continuing and I have a co-chair 00:04:27.436 --> 00:04:33.150 - now. So there's kind of forming up a little bit more and we're working on 00:04:33.410 --> 00:04:42.268 - working on deciding on curriculum and that sort of thing and what direction we're gonna be able to take 00:04:42.268 --> 00:04:50.784 - that and hoping for something, aiming for something in the fall, we'll see what happens. So there's 00:04:50.784 --> 00:04:59.642 - a lot to do, but yes, it is kind of sort of warming up, so yay. Oh my goodness. Welcome. I'm just gonna 00:04:59.642 --> 00:05:03.134 - give my update and then we'll introduce, 00:05:04.386 --> 00:05:12.449 - the commissioner. That's a little early council person. The only thing that I have that I heard today, 00:05:12.449 --> 00:05:20.433 - I watched the commissioner's meeting was that it is the Bloomington, I don't know what it is exactly, 00:05:20.433 --> 00:05:28.809 - but the Bloomington Chamber of Commerce is looking for a woman's award recipients. So does any outstanding 00:05:28.809 --> 00:05:33.662 - community member, female, women, community members that would 00:05:34.690 --> 00:05:44.270 - made an impact, I would look into that. Other than that? Who was looking for it again? The Better Prism 00:05:44.270 --> 00:05:53.665 - Bureau. The Greater Chamber, sorry. It's their Women Excel Bloomington Award that they do every year. 00:05:53.665 --> 00:06:00.574 - And it's on their website, the application for it. Okay, sorry, thank you. 00:06:04.226 --> 00:06:12.398 - That's all I have, right? All right. Hi, welcome. Hi, everybody. I mean, I don't know, you've never 00:06:12.398 --> 00:06:20.651 - been, right? I mean, in person. Years ago. Yes, in person. Do you want us to introduce ourselves? Do 00:06:20.651 --> 00:06:29.395 - you want anything to... If everybody wanted to say their name, they'd go around. I think that'd be awesome 00:06:29.395 --> 00:06:33.726 - for me, but don't let me distract from your meeting. 00:06:34.210 --> 00:06:41.398 - Well, I will say what's interesting here except for Commissioner Belton is that we have all, and it's 00:06:41.398 --> 00:06:48.797 - been two years, we've all been on the commission for at least four years, which is crazy to think about. 00:06:48.797 --> 00:06:56.056 - And Maria Douglas is working on it. She was trying to get online and she keeps getting kicked out, but 00:06:56.056 --> 00:07:02.046 - she's usually here as well. My name is Susan Hingle and I'm the chair of the Women's 00:07:03.938 --> 00:07:14.356 - I'm a glutton for punishment. I'm the secretary. Nice to see you here. Jennifer Belton. Yanni Rose. 00:07:14.356 --> 00:07:25.295 - Nice seeing you again. And I'm Julie Hardesty. I'm the vice chair. Yes. So we just did approval minutes, 00:07:25.295 --> 00:07:33.630 - commissioner updates. And then we are moving to old and ongoing business, which 00:07:33.730 --> 00:07:43.881 - We will start with outreach or the outreach committee, which is the purpose to elevate the profile of 00:07:43.881 --> 00:07:52.638 - the Monroe County Women's Commission programs that support our mission. Any updates or? 00:07:54.274 --> 00:08:01.389 - We do. Yeah. Yeah, go ahead, Molly. We're excited about our updates. So previously, Commissioner Belton 00:08:01.389 --> 00:08:08.504 - reported on a mini mission to pass out feminine products. And we went again today to Seminary Park just 00:08:08.504 --> 00:08:15.550 - to pass out to those in need. So we are going to continue that program, putting our logo in there. But 00:08:15.550 --> 00:08:21.502 - we made a plan for it. We're going to do it every other Thursday around the same time. 00:08:21.666 --> 00:08:28.031 - depending on weather permitting. But we've made a list of 10 nonprofits that help support unhoused. 00:08:28.031 --> 00:08:34.969 - So we're going to hit those strategically to make sure that they do have a program in place to get menstrual 00:08:34.969 --> 00:08:41.080 - products, and then just kind of let them know what we're doing. And if they don't, we can help. 00:08:41.080 --> 00:08:47.890 - And if not, making those contacts for any other projects we would be able to help with, sweat equity-wise, 00:08:47.890 --> 00:08:51.582 - that if it's, hey, we need four volunteers for this, help 00:08:51.682 --> 00:09:00.886 - recruitment for that or if we can provide those hours, too. So that's what we have in draft notes, but 00:09:00.886 --> 00:09:10.001 - we'll email out a plan, too. Good day for it. Beautiful. Yeah, it was. It was. Better than yesterday. 00:09:10.001 --> 00:09:19.742 - How many products do you think we handed? How many? I lost count. 10? Yeah, because the bag is almost empty. 00:09:21.506 --> 00:09:27.648 - Yeah, about 10. Yeah, if this is something where supply donations are taken, is that like, are you taking 00:09:27.648 --> 00:09:33.500 - it as the subcommittee? Would we bring them here? Yeah, we will take donations. We haven't got there 00:09:33.500 --> 00:09:39.468 - yet, but definitely if you would like to donate, because right now it's out of our pockets and we have 00:09:39.468 --> 00:09:45.378 - at home and we're just. Okay, so this is going to be ongoing, so I can like add this because I wasn't 00:09:45.378 --> 00:09:51.230 - sure if we were going to keep doing it. I'm like, I keep forgetting to bring things, but next month. 00:09:51.746 --> 00:09:57.836 - Yeah. Thanks. Thank you. One thing that might be, if you're looking for donations, because we have a 00:09:57.836 --> 00:10:03.927 - lot of traffic that comes in and out of the building, is there could be a box downstairs for it. And 00:10:03.927 --> 00:10:10.198 - maybe if you wanted two boxes, we can leave one in here, and then maybe other meetings, they might make 00:10:10.198 --> 00:10:16.409 - a reference to it, and then one downstairs just for people coming in. OK. Since you're here, I'm going 00:10:16.409 --> 00:10:20.510 - to ask you this. How would we, I mean, because obviously we're just 00:10:20.706 --> 00:10:28.730 - technically an advisory body to the commission. And as far as I've ever seen, the county doesn't offer 00:10:28.730 --> 00:10:36.521 - supply, feminine products, menstrual products in the bathroom. I mean, at IU, they're everywhere. I 00:10:36.521 --> 00:10:44.312 - can't even imagine how much IU spends on that stuff. But how could we get that? So you mean like in 00:10:44.312 --> 00:10:50.622 - the county dispensers? I think that's just a policy change by the commissioners. 00:10:50.754 --> 00:10:57.878 - Well, it would be cost involved because I mean, so it'd have to be a. But probably not the worst for 00:10:57.878 --> 00:11:05.001 - the county in Detroit. Now, I hear they've got a they got people living there and a massive work for 00:11:05.001 --> 00:11:12.055 - it. We've got a sizable workforce, but limited buildings. So the budgeting for my council hat would 00:11:12.055 --> 00:11:19.390 - I don't think so bad. But yeah, I think the first start would be at maybe if the body wanted to adopt a 00:11:20.930 --> 00:11:35.570 - to the commissioners to the commissioners and then, um. We could look at whatever the cost is. Maybe 00:11:35.570 --> 00:11:47.166 - health has money for this. Um, but, you know, just kind of thinking through it. 00:11:55.074 --> 00:12:03.094 - one question. If we did get a box or two boxes, who do we speak with about placing them in places downstairs 00:12:03.094 --> 00:12:10.672 - or here in this room? Angie? Yeah, I think send a note to Angie just that the Women's Commission would 00:12:10.672 --> 00:12:18.103 - like to have two boxes or one, whatever we think. But yeah, I just think literally left in the room, 00:12:18.103 --> 00:12:24.798 - no harm, no foul and downstairs. A lot of traffic in that bottom floor. Thank you. Really? 00:12:25.666 --> 00:12:32.644 - I mean, it's a beautiful building. I mean, I never know if people come in here or not, so. I think so. 00:12:32.644 --> 00:12:39.487 - I mean, there's just a lot of business that comes in and out for different needs. It would also be a 00:12:39.487 --> 00:12:46.262 - great thing to get on their socials and XYZ, presenting that as well. Do we need to, as the Women's 00:12:46.262 --> 00:12:53.173 - Commission, do we need a motion to get a resolution put together for the commissioners? Do we need to 00:12:53.173 --> 00:12:55.070 - vote on that? I don't know. 00:12:55.426 --> 00:13:03.255 - I don't know if the subcommittee wants to do it. I would rather see just one presented, and then we 00:13:03.255 --> 00:13:11.397 - talk. I mean, chances are I'm going to get dinged for us even doing products without approval. So we'll 00:13:11.397 --> 00:13:18.913 - have to see. OK. What did you say? What did you say about handing out products? Ding. For what? 00:13:18.913 --> 00:13:23.454 - Because it's, I mean, it's an activity. It's an activity. 00:13:27.042 --> 00:13:36.702 - We didn't put anything saying that we're women's commission on products. We're just giving out products. 00:13:36.702 --> 00:13:45.994 - Not on behalf of the county or? No, not right now. I mean for. Yeah, for outreach. But I think we'll 00:13:45.994 --> 00:13:52.894 - get there if we need. Yeah, you find out if we need permission, President. 00:13:53.378 --> 00:13:59.559 - But I think even if the commission, and I was on the commission in 2019, 2020, 2021, we had similar 00:13:59.559 --> 00:14:05.986 - issues back then, but I think even if the commission wants to say it's from, I think, yeah, they should 00:14:05.986 --> 00:14:12.291 - be able to, we should be able to say that, so. Yeah. You always have to ask for permission. Well, one 00:14:12.291 --> 00:14:18.719 - thing's for sure, and two things for certain, we'll get an email about it if we've done something we're 00:14:18.719 --> 00:14:21.438 - not supposed to, but you can, Commissioner, 00:14:21.538 --> 00:14:26.938 - Wait a minute, Councilman Decker, you can help us out with that. I'll do my best. Thank you. 00:14:26.938 --> 00:14:32.744 - That's awesome. I'm reading the steps to attain approval for activities and just trying to see what 00:14:32.744 --> 00:14:38.609 - that means. I mean, I'm sure if it has a logo on it, but... But we don't have a logo. Yes. There's a 00:14:38.609 --> 00:14:44.589 - logo. Well, it'd be still great to do it. I mean, eventually if we move to a proposal and collect and, 00:14:44.589 --> 00:14:50.686 - you know, distribute on behalf of the county, it would be great. Yeah, we're going to continue doing it. 00:14:51.618 --> 00:14:57.778 - Yeah, because we're community members. So we're going to do it because it's a need in the community. 00:14:57.778 --> 00:15:04.121 - Clearly there's a need because you're handing things out and people are like, yes, thank you. And even, 00:15:04.121 --> 00:15:10.281 - well, we had one person that said, well, I can use that for bladder control, which is another piece. 00:15:10.281 --> 00:15:16.502 - And we had a gentleman take one. We did not ask why, but I'm assuming he may have a female that might 00:15:16.502 --> 00:15:18.942 - need them too. So that was good to see. 00:15:24.354 --> 00:15:33.417 - Do we have, okay, so wait, let me sum that up. So I'm gonna make sure we don't, in whatever, 00:15:33.417 --> 00:15:43.259 - in what way, in the future, if we do want, supported by the commission, if we want the commissioners 00:15:43.259 --> 00:15:54.270 - getting approval, we are putting boxes for collection in the courthouse, getting notices on county social media, 00:15:54.690 --> 00:16:03.875 - And then, do you three want to work on a proposal that we could work to present to the commissioners 00:16:03.875 --> 00:16:13.152 - about supplying mental products to industrial and county buildings? Resolution? Yes. Yes. We got you. 00:16:13.152 --> 00:16:22.974 - Yeah, no, it's fine. We got you. Okay, you're not president. Could be. I shouldn't have went outside today. 00:16:24.290 --> 00:16:46.712 - we'll have our next steps. Do we have any other? Wonderful information. Only thing that I'm going to 00:16:46.712 --> 00:16:49.598 - ask again is 00:16:54.306 --> 00:17:02.585 - get the date and the place and all those things. We're back. So give me more information. So are you 00:17:02.585 --> 00:17:11.191 - because I know you do step with IU health. So are you saying on county property or will not be on county 00:17:11.191 --> 00:17:19.634 - property? Okay, I just asked by asking what you're thinking. No, we're going to be on county property. 00:17:19.634 --> 00:17:23.486 - I haven't figured out a place yet. And a date. 00:17:24.674 --> 00:17:34.116 - So are you as we would be one of the sponsors, because we would sweat equity, but. It would be sweat 00:17:34.116 --> 00:17:43.558 - equity. Yes. Okay. Or put on in conjunction with. Okay. Like we're hosting a welfare with IU Health. 00:17:43.558 --> 00:17:53.374 - Definitely an activity that. That's an activity. So yeah, when we get especially good enough time, then. 00:17:54.210 --> 00:18:02.768 - advance and we could. I'm looking for that we're looking for the fall. The discussions that have been 00:18:02.768 --> 00:18:11.410 - on for. That might be something that we can look into when we're hitting these different spot. As last 00:18:11.410 --> 00:18:20.136 - time we had it been. Yeah, you see it was like some reason why it was some of it here in the courthouse 00:18:20.136 --> 00:18:21.982 - that you all see the. 00:18:24.962 --> 00:18:37.633 - here. It wasn't here. It wasn't here. It wasn't here. It wasn't here. It wasn't here. It wasn't here. 00:18:37.633 --> 00:18:50.801 - It wasn't here. It wasn't here. It wasn't here. It wasn't here. It wasn't here. It wasn't here. It wasn't 00:18:50.801 --> 00:18:53.534 - here. It wasn't here. 00:18:54.082 --> 00:19:00.643 - No, that's easy. I mean, I think one of those things to have in conjunction with, I mean, like, I mean, 00:19:00.643 --> 00:19:07.079 - handmade markets too soon, but, you know, something like that where there's already something outside 00:19:07.079 --> 00:19:13.388 - the courthouse, so that inside the courthouse, there was something that you could do that. Yeah, we 00:19:13.388 --> 00:19:16.542 - would have to use the inside due to our machines. 00:19:25.538 --> 00:19:35.311 - That's all I got. I'm busy. Policy subcommittee with commissioners Hardesty, Douglas and Yarrow. Elevate 00:19:35.311 --> 00:19:45.084 - county policy using a gender equity lens is the purpose statement. We have dates. We have, I don't think 00:19:45.084 --> 00:19:51.134 - we have had a meeting since our last women's commission meeting. 00:19:51.394 --> 00:19:58.406 - But we do kind of have that priority list of things that we were interested in getting into. 00:19:58.406 --> 00:20:06.324 - And one of those, I'm seeing that Jody is online and here. So the gender equity rubric that we presented 00:20:06.324 --> 00:20:13.939 - to the commissioner, the county commissioners, we were interested in following up on that and seeing 00:20:13.939 --> 00:20:16.126 - what sort of feedback or use 00:20:16.226 --> 00:20:24.658 - you all as on the council and on the commission are seeing with that. And if there's any sort of feedback 00:20:24.658 --> 00:20:32.613 - you would have about the rubric in any way that we can potentially make it available online outside 00:20:32.613 --> 00:20:40.727 - of where it is in the meeting. I think it's the only place that exists right now. So that's one thing 00:20:40.727 --> 00:20:45.182 - we're kind of wanting to do. Would it be helpful for us 00:20:45.474 --> 00:20:52.642 - to gather any feedback from our respective bodies and then just bring it back or send it back? Yeah. 00:20:52.642 --> 00:20:59.811 - Yeah. Yeah. So I mean, the commissioners, we presented it to the commissioners. So they have it. But 00:20:59.811 --> 00:21:06.979 - I'm not sure if that is something that's made its way into any sort of use at all. But I think we're 00:21:06.979 --> 00:21:14.076 - kind of interested to see what these bodies are thinking about it and if that is something that can 00:21:14.076 --> 00:21:15.070 - be tried out. 00:21:20.546 --> 00:21:34.366 - we can certainly assist in that. Awesome. Thank you. I think that's the update that we would have from 00:21:34.366 --> 00:21:49.662 - the committee until we get to the data committee. Anything else? So committee, this is with commissioners, me and 00:21:49.954 --> 00:22:01.368 - Douglas, where our purpose is to become a granite and who we serve through data. So as we talked about, 00:22:01.368 --> 00:22:12.782 - a long time brewing, about the course, the V600 cohort with Dr. Henschel. So we had a meeting yesterday 00:22:12.782 --> 00:22:19.038 - with Commissioner Madera, Molly Turner King, myself, and 00:22:19.874 --> 00:22:28.420 - Dr. Hentschel to discuss what the scope was of the project and how that we were kind of ahead of ourselves, 00:22:28.420 --> 00:22:36.333 - because obviously it needs to be approved. So they are working on fast tracking that. They had some 00:22:36.333 --> 00:22:44.483 - updates about some language, because we were listed as the, whatever the word is I want. And it should 00:22:44.483 --> 00:22:49.310 - be, since we are not our own body, we are the commissioners. 00:22:49.538 --> 00:22:58.324 - to the commissioners. They should be noted as that. But it does look like it's coming forward. Commissioner 00:22:58.324 --> 00:23:06.460 - Madera, myself, and I believe Maria, as well, are all listed on the course stuff. And I have access 00:23:06.460 --> 00:23:14.677 - through their teams, which was very strange to see it in teams. Actually, a friend of mine is in the 00:23:14.677 --> 00:23:19.070 - class, strangely enough. So we are really looking for 00:23:20.194 --> 00:23:28.650 - that moving forward, it'll move pretty fast, because the class has already technically started. So there 00:23:28.650 --> 00:23:37.186 - are some people, so it's supposed to be 100% online. They did get some approval to have people in person, 00:23:37.186 --> 00:23:45.320 - so we do have a couple people. One I think is an Indy, and so my friend is named Santiago Sotomayor. 00:23:45.320 --> 00:23:46.206 - He is, so, 00:23:48.706 --> 00:23:57.624 - will be great working on that. I need to forward, I will forward the final proposal or the final syllabus 00:23:57.624 --> 00:24:06.038 - once I have it updated, but I'm really excited. Look at that. We had, I know I'd send it out when I 00:24:06.038 --> 00:24:14.452 - found it or we've all looked at the commission on the status of women outcomes when they did that a 00:24:14.452 --> 00:24:15.966 - couple years ago. 00:24:16.386 --> 00:24:23.140 - I mean, that was like, I mean, they did that like four, I think four years ago. And when I think I found 00:24:23.140 --> 00:24:29.637 - it, I don't know, I feel like we have talked about it and shared it many times. So it'll be somewhat 00:24:29.637 --> 00:24:36.070 - in that with a lot of related to sustainability. I know there's some like transportation questions. 00:24:36.070 --> 00:24:40.894 - I know there's that kind of information. Actually, I was looking today and 00:24:41.186 --> 00:24:47.163 - their Qualtrics forum was still live. So I was trying to go through it to see what kind of questions 00:24:47.163 --> 00:24:53.080 - they asked for, which was home ownership and income and transportation and those kind of things. So 00:24:53.080 --> 00:24:59.116 - I'll be interested with that. So if I find that again, I'll definitely share it. I know when I talked 00:24:59.116 --> 00:25:05.092 - on the call yesterday with Dr. Hentschel that she has lost some of the data from the class from four 00:25:05.092 --> 00:25:08.702 - years ago for whatever reason. So we are trying to get data. 00:25:08.834 --> 00:25:18.967 - reach out to Marissa Parscott at the city because she was involved with the project. These tables are 00:25:18.967 --> 00:25:28.702 - still not in the right places. Okay. There's west and north. Okay, sorry. ADHD, what do you want? 00:25:28.962 --> 00:25:36.087 - I think this is great in progress, and one of the things that they are going to want help with when 00:25:36.087 --> 00:25:43.568 - they create the students, create a questionnaire, is help getting that distributed to people. Especially 00:25:43.568 --> 00:25:51.120 - trying to get it into the hands of the population that we're trying to get information from, which again, 00:25:51.120 --> 00:25:58.174 - if you're out distributing, if we're all out distributing menstrual products in various locations, 00:25:58.498 --> 00:26:06.246 - opportunity they are gonna before they've done like hard copies and QR codes and you know to try to 00:26:06.246 --> 00:26:14.149 - reach everybody so that'll be great I think and I'm really I thought this would seem like so far away 00:26:14.149 --> 00:26:21.975 - you know because it seemed like it was last year you know and then it's like already here so I don't 00:26:21.975 --> 00:26:24.222 - know what I'm pretty excited 00:26:27.810 --> 00:26:37.956 - I think a lot of the data disappeared when we had those strange circumstances from IU last 00:26:37.956 --> 00:26:49.329 - year. Unfortunately, we had course pages go down. Even before the Canvas episode, we had the websites 00:26:49.329 --> 00:26:57.022 - just disappeared. I think Dr. Henschel said that she lost data then. 00:26:57.186 --> 00:27:07.084 - That's very unfortunate, but nothing that she could control. And we would be richer for that data. How 00:27:07.084 --> 00:27:16.694 - long is the class, Susan? I don't know. I have to look. You know, Jody? I think it's summer one. So 00:27:16.694 --> 00:27:24.670 - I think summer one is six weeks. Yeah, six weeks. Yeah. So fast. Yeah. Super fast. 00:27:26.786 --> 00:27:35.688 - I did already, I reached out to Marissa at the city today about the project and she already got some 00:27:35.688 --> 00:27:44.766 - things back to me, but we'll see if it's what she was looking for. I know she was looking for, I think 00:27:44.766 --> 00:27:49.790 - specifically the GIS data, so we'll see. I think that's, 00:28:00.354 --> 00:28:10.148 - Yes, that's enough. We did a lot. This is a very productive month. I had nothing under new business, 00:28:10.148 --> 00:28:20.718 - but we kind of got, I mean, in the committee work, new business with new just projects within our committee. 00:28:20.718 --> 00:28:22.366 - So we have that. 00:28:30.146 --> 00:28:36.918 - Anybody want to add anything else? Why? There was, you and I, when we were meeting, doing an executive 00:28:36.918 --> 00:28:43.559 - discussion, we were talking about the data committee and the policy committee and the work that they 00:28:43.559 --> 00:28:50.266 - were doing and whether or not... Overlap and joining. Yeah, if that was worth it to consider. I'm not 00:28:50.266 --> 00:28:57.039 - sure if we really... I don't know if we need to... We were thinking about, because so much of the work 00:28:57.039 --> 00:28:58.814 - overlaps and since we have 00:29:00.450 --> 00:29:11.936 - Commissioner Douglas on both, that it would be just as easy for me to just become a part of policy, 00:29:11.936 --> 00:29:23.997 - flash data committee, and just move forward. Yeah, that's where we get potential for four of us meeting, 00:29:23.997 --> 00:29:25.950 - making a quorum. 00:29:30.882 --> 00:29:36.781 - And with the policy committee, the thing that we would be working on that's most associated with what 00:29:36.781 --> 00:29:42.853 - the data committee is doing is doing the data visualizations from that preliminary data that we gathered 00:29:42.853 --> 00:29:48.637 - last year. Looking at that yesterday. Yeah. The part that I'd come up with that I just never would. 00:29:48.637 --> 00:29:54.536 - Right. So I don't know if that's worth it to try and just gather up together what the data committees 00:29:54.536 --> 00:30:00.030 - put together and what the policy committee was looking at trying to do data visualization for. 00:30:00.322 --> 00:30:07.477 - at some point, it doesn't have to be right now or anything. And again, because I still don't have access 00:30:07.477 --> 00:30:14.496 - to the files, I know there's some stuff in the files for our file group, so I don't know. Oh, with the 00:30:14.496 --> 00:30:21.379 - data under the data subcommittee? No. OK, OK. I know from Kathleen and I that there was already some 00:30:21.379 --> 00:30:28.670 - information in there, and I'd already been working on a spreadsheet and trying to figure out which kind of 00:30:30.370 --> 00:30:35.981 - to get what kind of questions to ask, those kind of things. But that does already exist in the files. 00:30:35.981 --> 00:30:41.702 - I'll take a look at that. The policy committee is meeting next week. Are you thinking of just combining 00:30:41.702 --> 00:30:47.368 - those committees? I'm not exactly sure, or at least working on that together, potentially. Because the 00:30:47.368 --> 00:30:52.924 - data visualization that we were doing, it might be helpful to have the data committee be involved or 00:30:52.924 --> 00:30:58.590 - be informed about what it is that we're putting together as a visualization, especially at this point, 00:30:58.590 --> 00:31:00.350 - if there's more data coming in. 00:31:00.514 --> 00:31:08.942 - So to give you a little bit of backstory here, counselor, is that one of the projects that we've always 00:31:08.942 --> 00:31:17.046 - looked into since we all started, really, was just trying to figure out who we serve. And even like 00:31:17.046 --> 00:31:25.473 - preliminary looking at the data, it is very hard to, there is no data about who the women in the county 00:31:25.473 --> 00:31:28.958 - are, who the non-marginalized genders are. 00:31:29.090 --> 00:31:35.249 - I mean, a lot of the data that, you know, Julie has worked on has been, you know, even, you know, it 00:31:35.249 --> 00:31:41.531 - goes Indiana or, you know, not even, I don't know how much data you've ever looked at about the county 00:31:41.531 --> 00:31:47.751 - and it's very hard to, you know, it's very hard to get into that level. So, you know, is one of those 00:31:47.751 --> 00:31:53.971 - things that we were trying to look into and then trying to come up with a dashboard, you know, on the 00:31:53.971 --> 00:31:57.630 - status of women and marginalized genders for the county to, 00:31:58.082 --> 00:32:04.860 - you know, have. So we would, you know, promote or educate people on the website and such. So it is something. 00:32:04.860 --> 00:32:11.022 - And that's one of the things that this class is going to help us work on is helping us collect some 00:32:11.022 --> 00:32:17.430 - data on women and marginalized genders in the county. So to see who's here. So what do they have? Yeah. 00:32:17.430 --> 00:32:23.592 - And we had this, we had preliminary data that was kind of a project that I was doing last year with 00:32:23.592 --> 00:32:27.166 - the policy committee. And then this year we were going to 00:32:27.394 --> 00:32:34.700 - do a data visualization. We haven't gotten to it yet. So since we have more coming in from the data 00:32:34.700 --> 00:32:42.152 - committee, it might just be better to combine all together and work on it. But I don't know if that's 00:32:42.152 --> 00:32:49.970 - really like a committee's becoming one committee thing. Page is coming to your meeting. As long as there's 00:32:49.970 --> 00:32:55.742 - not four of us. Yeah. Anything else? Do you have any questions about anything? 00:32:56.770 --> 00:33:04.738 - No, no, I don't thank you for I'm sorry. I'm late and thank you for welcoming me in it's good to be 00:33:04.738 --> 00:33:13.104 - back here. We're very busy That's what counselor vital told me earlier today. I said, all right anything 00:33:13.104 --> 00:33:21.630 - I need to know she goes they got a lot going on and they're We try to be active. So Okay, is there anybody 00:33:30.434 --> 00:33:36.862 - fast. I call this meeting adjourned at 6 o'clock. Thank you all very much.
