41. 0:05:10 — open the recording at 5 minutes 10 secondsLakisha M. Bradley (chair): Minutes have been approved. And then we will move to our guest speaker, Dr. Carly Schmidt. First of all, I want to say how much we appreciate the opportunity to speak.

42. 0:05:23 — open the recording at 5 minutes 23 secondsCarly Schmidt (guest — president, League of Women Voters of Vigo County): week and it's so great to want to partner with us on how we can make our democracy work and help our local residents um i do just want to give a brief background about the league women voters um our organization was founded in 1920 right after the passage of the 19th amendment it was actually three generations of women um it's the third sort of wave of women that set up our organization once we got the right to vote and what we do is we encourage informed and active participation of our citizens and government through our

43. 0:06:00 — open the recording at 6 minutesCarly Schmidt (guest — president, League of Women Voters of Vigo County): through the work that we do here locally but also through we also work to influence public policy through education and advocacy locally our League of Women Voters in over the past year and a half has made contact with nearly 2,000 residents in our community most of our work is with voter registration we have a number of community um partners both long-standing but most recently um the terrible blabash valley alumni chapter and melissa and data inc has been a really important partner for us um in carrying out a lot of our

44. 0:06:37 — open the recording at 6 minutes 37 secondsCarly Schmidt (guest — president, League of Women Voters of Vigo County): voter registration work we're at farmer the farmer's market we go to senior living communities residential housing communities um and the places and spaces in our community and events that we can go to reach people who need our voter services um indiana well vigo county is one of the lowest of turn out counties in one of the lowest in the state and one of the lowest turnout plus states in the country um we see this consistently um and there's a number of factors that contribute to that We see it as our mission here is to really work to try to provide as much assistance

45. 0:07:20 — open the recording at 7 minutes 20 secondsCarly Schmidt (guest — president, League of Women Voters of Vigo County): to our community members across various demographics, particularly those who might get left to other fines. In Indiana, our election laws are much more difficult than if we were just a little river not in the way. Where you can register to vote in the same day. In Indiana, perhaps there's a 30-day window to be able to register to vote. have had the right documentation it's just a series of hoops and so we work to try to use that for our community members outside of that too we we moderate and sponsor the only community center candidate forums locally that are

46. 0:07:57 — open the recording at 7 minutes 57 secondsCarly Schmidt (guest — president, League of Women Voters of Vigo County): available that are open to anyone in the community to join and actually submit questions and so we have great partners with that with the public library And so coming up this election year, one of the big things that we're partnering with the city of doing is National Voter Registration Day is on September 15th. We have historically celebrated that. And last year we partnered with the Deltas and we were able to end the Vigo County Public Library and we're doing that yet again. And we have registered about 200 voters or help people change their address, which is

47. 0:08:37 — open the recording at 8 minutes 37 secondsSpeaker 20 (commissioner): also important or just check their registration a last national voter registration day um but the

48. 0:08:43 — open the recording at 8 minutes 43 secondsCarly Schmidt (guest — president, League of Women Voters of Vigo County): mayor is going to declare it as voter registration day on september 15th and so at um is helping facilitate that um and so that would be it's new publicity um encouraging the public and many people

49. 0:08:58 — open the recording at 8 minutes 58 secondsSpeaker 20 (commissioner): think that they're registered to vote but people get thrown on voter rolls uh people move and they'll update your voter registration and all of that is really important because when you move who you get

50. 0:09:08 — open the recording at 9 minutes 8 secondsCarly Schmidt (guest — president, League of Women Voters of Vigo County): to vote for changes right and those are really important um and then our candidate forms here i have some information um this is our flyer um i appreciate that um our first one will be september 15th for the state legislative we have the vigo county council and county commissioners on september 22nd and the vigo county um school board on the 29th um i am pleased to say that we've had a really um candidates are really looking forward to participating across all both parties or all parties now at the school board so we have that moving forward and then we

51. 0:09:50 — open the recording at 9 minutes 50 secondsCarly Schmidt (guest — president, League of Women Voters of Vigo County): have our vote 411 voter information site um and we could really need some help promoting that that's That's what we send out a survey to candidates across in the local levels that they do for our state and national. So our organization does. And candidates answer survey questions even down to the township trustees about so that and then people can go and see how candidates responded and compare and discuss that to help inform their decision. So that is sort of what we have coming up this fall with voter sort of mobilization, but also voter education.

52. 0:10:25 — open the recording at 10 minutes 25 secondsCarly Schmidt (guest — president, League of Women Voters of Vigo County): And so we would really like the city to consider there are other ways that they might want to help partner with us to connect that.

53. 0:10:38 — open the recording at 10 minutes 38 secondsSpeaker 159: Yeah, thank you for coming. Does anyone have any questions for...

54. 0:10:43 — open the recording at 10 minutes 43 secondsSpeaker 122: what the the older registration day the times at the across all the libraries what time clock is that

55. 0:10:56 — open the recording at 10 minutes 56 secondsSpeaker 18: we just let me find okay i think you know that maybe for me yeah yeah yeah um i moved it to 11.

56. 0:11:06 — open the recording at 11 minutes 6 secondsSpeaker 20 (commissioner): um so we will get that broadcasted out 18 and i were talking about how the mayor will actually be out of town for that date so there can be a grand announcement we're hoping to do it at the main

57. 0:11:19 — open the recording at 11 minutes 19 secondsCarly Schmidt (guest — president, League of Women Voters of Vigo County): branch um delta city theta is going to be sort of taking care of that station um and so we were hoping to do something else flashy and any ideas that you all about how to get out the message for

58. 0:11:32 — open the recording at 11 minutes 32 secondsSpeaker 20 (commissioner): people to check your book yes i have a question yeah

59. 0:11:45 — open the recording at 11 minutes 45 secondsCarly Schmidt (guest — president, League of Women Voters of Vigo County): for the legal amendments it's uh um lwb legal.org

60. 0:11:54 — open the recording at 11 minutes 54 secondsSpeaker 175: work this is really effective because um this will be a really good way to put it in the

61. 0:12:02 — open the recording at 12 minutes 2 secondsSpeaker 177: media outlets okay okay i have to so i'm also webmaster as well as president i'm just saying that um but we do have our facebook page which i also manage um that and we have events posted on

62. 0:12:30 — open the recording at 12 minutes 30 secondsCarly Schmidt (guest — president, League of Women Voters of Vigo County): facebook we have these as events the citizens can both live streaming them or watch them recording and they don't want to actually attend um but maybe i should should i update that

63. 0:12:42 — open the recording at 12 minutes 42 secondsSpeaker 191: it does say 2024 candidate yeah that is my fault no worries

64. 0:12:55 — open the recording at 12 minutes 55 secondsSpeaker 196: update the website okay

65. 0:13:04 — open the recording at 13 minutes 4 secondsAnne-Therese Ryan (director (staff)): um to set the mayor's gonna be out of town yeah unfortunately yeah he has to go back to national guard training for a couple weeks in september so i'm you know grateful for his service to our

66. 0:13:18 — open the recording at 13 minutes 18 secondsAnne-Therese Ryan (director (staff)): country but he will unfortunately miss the get out of our voter registration day because it never

67. 0:13:24 — open the recording at 13 minutes 24 secondsSpeaker 206: hurts i mean to use the platform of social media yes like a video with him and the community partners

68. 0:13:31 — open the recording at 13 minutes 31 secondsSpeaker 209: and then record it before he leaves but then broadcast it on the actual day so we can add to

69. 0:13:39 — open the recording at 13 minutes 39 secondsSpeaker 215: the splash of the day we had talked about a social media post but i love the idea of a video yeah

70. 0:13:50 — open the recording at 13 minutes 50 secondsSpeaker 209: i think it would be important to to have him participate in the day virtually and also highlighting you know the reason that he isn't there because that's also important as well.

71. 0:14:06 — open the recording at 14 minutes 6 secondsSpeaker 223 (community review committee member (guest)): So that's a quick easy way to and then you can blast it across social media and we can all share it to draw in that reach.

72. 0:14:18 — open the recording at 14 minutes 18 secondsSpeaker 224: I represent a Hispanic community and I really love bringing this information to a Hispanic community.

73. 0:14:28 — open the recording at 14 minutes 28 secondsSpeaker 14 (commissioner): We don't have an organized website or we used to be around what we want anymore. And a good place to reach out again is other restaurants, the Mexican restaurants. and I wonder how can we use information and bring them to the Hispanic community they claim to be visiting the restaurant with information, flyers

74. 0:15:04 — open the recording at 15 minutes 4 secondsSpeaker 230: could you do that? could you help us do that? that um like making a flyer or or maybe so if you think this is a good quality then i absolutely

75. 0:15:16 — open the recording at 15 minutes 16 secondsSpeaker 14 (commissioner): can't yeah like this is i mean so i actually have it in color but i i could absolutely work on that

76. 0:15:24 — open the recording at 15 minutes 24 secondsSpeaker 241 (commissioner): I mean, I'm 100% of them. Okay, okay.

77. 0:15:31 — open the recording at 15 minutes 31 secondsAnne-Therese Ryan (director (staff)): Yeah, like is there, we could do like a flyer that says like, check your voter registration, would that be something that you're thinking, not just the forums?

78. 0:15:43 — open the recording at 15 minutes 43 secondsSpeaker 169: I've spent 16 years living in Spanish heritage at the United States and I normally invite community members

79. 0:15:55 — open the recording at 15 minutes 55 secondsSpeaker 14 (commissioner): so that would be a good for the day as part of a really good month but we can go before that I can have my Spanish students classes for extra credit visiting the restaurants and then different information is that is that is that is that that would be so and so the key concerns here

80. 0:16:18 — open the recording at 16 minutes 18 secondsCarly Schmidt (guest — president, League of Women Voters of Vigo County): then yes that you would see the information that people would want yes would be to check their role registration or update is that is that what i'm hearing what is okay the easiest way for them

81. 0:16:32 — open the recording at 16 minutes 32 secondsSpeaker 20 (commissioner): to get to vote. I think the bigger picture. Yes. Yes. Okay. No, it's at all three branches.

82. 0:16:52 — open the recording at 16 minutes 52 secondsCarly Schmidt (guest — president, League of Women Voters of Vigo County): Oh, okay. Yes. So we're going to be at all three branches for National Wood Registration day um but we're also at tons of other places so we'll be in all the senior living places we all have on days when it's great for funds and other like facilities which where people have to leave their apartments and they're all they're gathering and so we're checking well that's probably right and so um i would like to talk to you and um maybe not during the meeting about some

83. 0:17:22 — open the recording at 17 minutes 22 secondsSpeaker 123: particular ways that we would target the population with some... You're saying you need one.

84. 0:17:33 — open the recording at 17 minutes 33 secondsSpeaker 269: We can meet it on campus too.

85. 0:17:36 — open the recording at 17 minutes 36 secondsCarly Schmidt (guest — president, League of Women Voters of Vigo County): Yes. Because I have since with... Yes, I have a few people saying that I meet it. So as you know... I'll be reaching out to you then.

86. 0:17:48 — open the recording at 17 minutes 48 secondsSpeaker 152: We can maybe meet next week.

87. 0:17:50 — open the recording at 17 minutes 50 secondsSpeaker 276: week okay if the flyer can be generic enough but if it's not specific you may need one specific

88. 0:18:01 — open the recording at 18 minutes 1 secondSpeaker 263: for your community but can you create a generic one and then i can share with your one sure yeah

130. 0:24:59 — open the recording at 24 minutes 59 secondsSpeaker 372: again and a lot of community engagement just even in the room so

131. 0:25:07 — open the recording at 25 minutes 7 secondsSpeaker 374: well hopefully we haven't overwhelmed you with ideas but not at all not at all i really

136. 0:25:51 — open the recording at 25 minutes 51 secondsSpeaker 175: Okay. Okay.

137. 0:25:53 — open the recording at 25 minutes 53 secondsAnne-Therese Ryan (director (staff)): Well, I was gone a whole week, so the events attended is a little bit shorter, but the

138. 0:26:18 — open the recording at 26 minutes 18 secondsAnne-Therese Ryan (director (staff)): portion of this last month has really been dedicated to the neighborhood investment fund.

139. 0:26:23 — open the recording at 26 minutes 23 secondsAnne-Therese Ryan (director (staff)): So you'll see multiple meetings related to that. We had an orientation meeting for the community review committee. Then we actually had a meme where then they discussed their reviews and then the senior review committee. And then eventually, yeah, we announced it to the public. And I'll share more in that report. But yeah, August 3rd through 7th, which was two weeks ago, I was in Bloomington for a week for my master's program.

140. 0:26:50 — open the recording at 26 minutes 50 secondsSpeaker 399: So, you know, mark your calendars, May 2027. I'm going to graduate.

141. 0:26:54 — open the recording at 26 minutes 54 secondsSpeaker 400: I'm going to be done. So I have one step closer.

142. 0:26:59 — open the recording at 26 minutes 59 secondsAnne-Therese Ryan (director (staff)): Yeah. A couple department head meetings in there. Went to the Homeless Coalition last week. I got a new laptop.

143. 0:27:07 — open the recording at 27 minutes 7 secondsAnne-Therese Ryan (director (staff)): IT set me up. It's a little bit smaller, which I actually prefer.

144. 0:27:11 — open the recording at 27 minutes 11 secondsAnne-Therese Ryan (director (staff)): But it was getting a little slow.

145. 0:27:14 — open the recording at 27 minutes 14 secondsAnne-Therese Ryan (director (staff)): and so this one's updated so quite quite thankful to them if you didn't see the indiana black legislative caucus was supposed to come on saturday but unfortunately um you know lots of terrible weather all over indiana and a lot of our legislators within the caucus live in some of the hardest hit areas whether that be northwest indiana or in the indianapolis area So our thoughts are obviously with them as, you know, I think Northwest Indiana is going on eight or nine days without power.

146. 0:27:51 — open the recording at 27 minutes 51 secondsAnne-Therese Ryan (director (staff)): Indianapolis, of course, just major infrastructure losses and, you know, community, you know, really suffering. So I've reached out to them about rescheduling. I haven't heard back, but I'm not going to push hard. Obviously, the director, she lives in Indianapolis.

147. 0:28:10 — open the recording at 28 minutes 10 secondsAnne-Therese Ryan (director (staff)): And so I will just, I will, I'll send out a reminder in a week or so.

148. Highlight · drawn from this moment: EEOC's new login.gov requirement is making it harder for the Human Relations Commission to help residents file federal job-discrimination complaints

     0:28:19 — open the recording at 28 minutes 19 secondsAnne-Therese Ryan (director (staff)): But yeah, I did assist one individual with filing an employment complaint this week. We met yesterday and we filed that through the Indiana Civil Rights Commission. We, I will say this individual had asked about filing through EEOC.

149. Highlight · drawn from this moment: EEOC's new login.gov requirement is making it harder for the Human Relations Commission to help residents file federal job-discrimination complaints

     0:28:35 — open the recording at 28 minutes 35 secondsAnne-Therese Ryan (director (staff)): And one roadblock I came across before she actually came in was that EEOC requires a login.gov account now, which if you've ever done TSA pre-check or anything where you need a login.

150. Highlight · drawn from this moment: EEOC's new login.gov requirement is making it harder for the Human Relations Commission to help residents file federal job-discrimination complaints

     0:28:56 — open the recording at 28 minutes 56 secondsAnne-Therese Ryan (director (staff)): It's quite an extensive process. So helping people file through EEOC is going to be really hard now unless they already have that account. I don't feel like it's within our capacity to help people with that. You have to like do multi-factor authentication. And yeah, so Indiana Civil Rights Commission is still pretty, very accessible way to help people file.

151. 0:29:22 — open the recording at 29 minutes 22 secondsAnne-Therese Ryan (director (staff)): but I did just want to bring that to everyone's attention. Kind of a bit of a barrier there.

152. Highlight · drawn from this moment: EEOC's new login.gov requirement is making it harder for the Human Relations Commission to help residents file federal job-discrimination complaints

     0:29:29 — open the recording at 29 minutes 29 secondsAnne-Therese Ryan (director (staff)): But also just for context, the Indiana Civil Rights Commission shares the cases that are filed within Indiana with EEOC. They have like a contract agreement. So even if we would have

153. 0:29:41 — open the recording at 29 minutes 41 secondsSpeaker 407: filed with EEOC, there was like a really good chance it would end up at the Indiana Civil rights commission to be investigated but anyway i digress um the i will share a little bit about

154. 0:29:56 — open the recording at 29 minutes 56 secondsAnne-Therese Ryan (director (staff)): the just a reminder on the black history month banner um project the group that is doing the

155. 0:30:02 — open the recording at 30 minutes 2 secondsAnne-Therese Ryan (director (staff)): report for us is we have a meeting with them in a week or so two weeks i'll share more about the

156. Highlight · drawn from this moment: City budgets at least $30,000 for warming-center support as a partner shelter exit could reduce capacity by about 20 beds

     0:30:09 — open the recording at 30 minutes 9 secondsAnne-Therese Ryan (director (staff)): neighborhood investment fund wanted to share that the warming center um we're already planning The city, we have included it in our budget for next year. And so we'll be able to commit at least the same that we did last year, which was $30,000 from the casino revenue. And we're meeting with Mental Health America, which was our partner last year, to get that MOU signed. sign. They've already verbally agreed to continue being the city-sponsored warming center, but we've got to do some more thinking as the one church-based organization will not be operating this year.

157. 0:30:57 — open the recording at 30 minutes 57 secondsAnne-Therese Ryan (director (staff)): And so that means that we'll have probably 20 less beds available within the city. So that's

158. Highlight · drawn from this moment: City budgets at least $30,000 for warming-center support as a partner shelter exit could reduce capacity by about 20 beds

     0:31:03 — open the recording at 31 minutes 3 secondsAnne-Therese Ryan (director (staff)): something we're thinking about now. But hopefully we'll have this agreement in place, long before we didn't have it in place until december last year so it'll be we're hopefully

159. 0:31:15 — open the recording at 31 minutes 15 secondsAnne-Therese Ryan (director (staff)): way ahead of schedule um and that will be good bus shelter construction we're hoping to receive those in october i'm just reminding you all it's been in there every month um but some upcoming dates that this is the things to put in your calendar um not this saturday but next saturday

160. 0:31:35 — open the recording at 31 minutes 35 secondsAnne-Therese Ryan (director (staff)): at 10 a.m. at university hall we will hear from the students from dr mary's class who have been

161. 0:31:44 — open the recording at 31 minutes 44 secondsAnne-Therese Ryan (director (staff)): working on the black history month banner review project now it's in there hasn't did anyone ever

162. 0:31:53 — open the recording at 31 minutes 53 secondsSpeaker 427: okay no

164. 0:32:05 — open the recording at 32 minutes 5 secondsAnne-Therese Ryan (director (staff)): being withheld until they do what they are so they they got two weeks to start making these calls

165. 0:32:13 — open the recording at 32 minutes 13 secondsAnne-Therese Ryan (director (staff)): which we will we will proceed you know i mean this this is we're not paying for this so this is one of those things you when you you risk but um anyway we'll see what they present i'm i'm not

170. 0:33:06 — open the recording at 33 minutes 6 secondsAnne-Therese Ryan (director (staff)): which we i still haven't really thought of an idea for that but we'll do some sort of activity

171. 0:33:12 — open the recording at 33 minutes 12 secondsAnne-Therese Ryan (director (staff)): again engaging with young people it's just a good way to be out there in the community and be visible but i'm thinking we'll do something else that is like an art kind of inspired project that we can then hang out in the hallway just like we did last year. The Interfaith Council of the

172. 0:33:32 — open the recording at 33 minutes 32 secondsAnne-Therese Ryan (director (staff)): Wabash Valley has reached out to me. They are going to host a, they did it a few years ago,

173. 0:33:40 — open the recording at 33 minutes 40 secondsSpeaker 426: this prayer vigil that was like, that one was like for a, I don't know if it was for voting or if it was for a peaceful transfer of power after the election.

174. 0:33:53 — open the recording at 33 minutes 53 secondsAnne-Therese Ryan (director (staff)): Whatever. I don't remember. But they are going to pray again for peaceful voting on September 27th. I think they wanted to have it closer to the election, but somebody's schedule didn't align. So we're praying early or not, whatever. So Sunday, September 27th, I believe at 4 p.m. and out here in the courtyard. And so I don't have a flyer yet for that. Jackie Bradfield is

175. 0:34:26 — open the recording at 34 minutes 26 secondsSpeaker 426: supposed to get that to me. And then Saturday, October 3rd is Pride Fest. So put that on your

176. 0:34:36 — open the recording at 34 minutes 36 secondsAnne-Therese Ryan (director (staff)): calendar. It's I think the times are a little different from last year. So it's noon to six, right Katie yes that's correct and we have this on the agenda tonight to talk about the sponsorship but I'm certain that no matter what will be there so go ahead and add that to your calendar I will be out of office on Friday and a couple days next week I I am attending some trainings that are not related to this job. So I will, I can share more later, but it is personal time off.

177. 0:35:19 — open the recording at 35 minutes 19 secondsAnne-Therese Ryan (director (staff)): And then that Leadership Academy series that you all agreed to help or that the commission would pay for, those are all of the dates.

181. 0:35:53 — open the recording at 35 minutes 53 secondsAnne-Therese Ryan (director (staff)): um big thing to know is um you know in that 2026 actual to date we have about ten thousand dollars remain you know really to do what we want with you know we're in the last six months of the year

182. 0:36:11 — open the recording at 36 minutes 11 secondsAnne-Therese Ryan (director (staff)): we could you know can give some to pride fest we can give some to we could make if the naacp is going to do the freedom fund dinner again. We, of course, could do both of those things, but we don't have, it really, we haven't said like, oh, we're for sure doing this or that. So we do really have quite a bit of funding still this year to play with. And I wanted to make sure since something

183. 0:36:41 — open the recording at 36 minutes 41 secondsSpeaker 455: on the agenda tonight, the sponsored Pride Fest sponsorship will involve our funds.

184. 0:36:47 — open the recording at 36 minutes 47 secondsSpeaker 39: Can that be things that we buy or that we won't use this year, but that come as books or something?

185. 0:37:01 — open the recording at 37 minutes 1 secondSpeaker 459: Yeah, yeah.

186. 0:37:02 — open the recording at 37 minutes 2 secondsSpeaker 461: You know, MLK or something ahead of time? Yeah, absolutely. Ahead of time.

189. 0:37:38 — open the recording at 37 minutes 38 secondsAnne-Therese Ryan (director (staff)): we bought nine and it was 684 dollars so yeah absolutely yeah and that's just ten thousand

190. 0:37:48 — open the recording at 37 minutes 48 secondsAnne-Therese Ryan (director (staff)): dollars of civic promotions but like um our office supplies um you know i'm i'm buying printer ink with that the remaining funds in that um instruction that um paid for another conference and we don't really have any other things out of there um but yeah i mean the rest of it is just like

191. 0:38:12 — open the recording at 38 minutes 12 secondsSpeaker 468: pretty much as it goes and yeah what it said but that's like our programming budget if you will

192. 0:38:26 — open the recording at 38 minutes 26 seconds so

193. 0:38:30 — open the recording at 38 minutes 30 secondsSpeaker 426: there are any questions i'm happy to answer yeah

194. 0:38:33 — open the recording at 38 minutes 33 secondsSpeaker 241 (commissioner): For these events, do you have more information on how can we participate in that?

195. 0:38:43 — open the recording at 38 minutes 43 secondsSpeaker 476: For example, on the day where the students are presenting?

196. 0:38:50 — open the recording at 38 minutes 50 secondsSpeaker 478: Yes, so yeah.

197. 0:38:52 — open the recording at 38 minutes 52 secondsSpeaker 481: Are there any questions that you should be prepared to ask them or to... Well, for that, yeah.

198. 0:39:04 — open the recording at 39 minutes 4 secondsAnne-Therese Ryan (director (staff)): Yeah, I think for that one, I really don't know what they are going to present to us at this point because, and it's in, it's actually in here. So, you know, the number one thing that I had asked them to do was this stakeholder engagement piece. And it sounds like they haven't done it. Um, so I'm really not sure what to ask other than like, why did that not happen? Um, and I, and it's like, I'm not their teacher or their professor. So it's like, I'm not here to give, I just was like, that was the number one thing that

199. 0:39:50 — open the recording at 39 minutes 50 secondsAnne-Therese Ryan (director (staff)): we asked for, but maybe they put a bigger priority on, you know, evaluating how other communities did a committee like this i'm i don't really i don't know what to expect is part of it so yes so and i will send it i think i've sent out a calendar invite to everyone but i don't have a room yet so once i have that i will send that to everyone um but um everyone is welcome to come and hear what they have to share with us but I don't have any expectations for questions or anything that you bring other than just like what comes to mind after they present. For family

200. 0:40:36 — open the recording at 40 minutes 36 secondsAnne-Therese Ryan (director (staff)): learning day, I again I will send out more information about this. Last year we did two shifts and so I will send out a request if you would like to take one of those shifts. It's I think it's only noon or 10 to 1 so it's not very long. I'll be there the whole time but we last year we had a table and most of it was dedicated to the activity that the kids were doing. We had a few giveaways and some information about from the city and from the Human Relations Commission, but mostly it was about kind of engaging with young people. And this, we were

201. 0:41:24 — open the recording at 41 minutes 24 secondsAnne-Therese Ryan (director (staff)): built, they made a quilt square that was their depiction of like, what is unity? Now some of them just kind of drew whatever they wanted, but like, and that's okay. Like it's about being creative and providing this kind of outlet for um for families uh we do actually i know the lot i don't want to step on the library's toes we do still have a ton of books from our previous and

202. 0:41:52 — open the recording at 41 minutes 52 secondsSpeaker 335: i'm like we could give away books but they always give away books anyway i don't think there's

203. 0:41:57 — open the recording at 41 minutes 57 secondsSpeaker 32: Yeah, it's the same. Unfortunately this year, it's the same thing as the Strength Festival.

204. 0:42:07 — open the recording at 42 minutes 7 secondsSpeaker 493: Oh darn. Well.

205. 0:42:09 — open the recording at 42 minutes 9 secondsSandy Mutchler (commissioner): My Strength Festival.

206. 0:42:13 — open the recording at 42 minutes 13 secondsAnne-Therese Ryan (director (staff)): Yeah, every year Sandy helps coordinate the, is it middle school mostly or high school?

207. 0:42:23 — open the recording at 42 minutes 23 secondsSpeaker 498: Well, now we have Livington kids.

208. 0:42:29 — open the recording at 42 minutes 29 secondsSpeaker 500: But would you say it's kind of like a clinic where strings players could come and learn?

209. 0:42:35 — open the recording at 42 minutes 35 secondsSandy Mutchler (commissioner): We have four ensembles. And it's from those kids who are just picking up an instrument for the first time, through those who have been playing with their lives. and they work on ensembles and they're learning to compose music and then we have yeah we wish

210. 0:42:55 — open the recording at 42 minutes 55 secondsSpeaker 382: you all welcome them to we have a final concert yeah they fill some auditorium on sunday uh and this year last year this year we're now collaborating with the high issue favorite music

211. 0:43:08 — open the recording at 43 minutes 8 secondsSandy Mutchler (commissioner): it's our advantage if they'll come back when we play here and play which is really great for their as long as for their you know if they're thinking about music to be able to say that they were the

212. 0:43:18 — open the recording at 43 minutes 18 secondsSpeaker 400: natural record music yeah um yeah no i just wanted to make sure because i didn't know if lucy knew

213. 0:43:32 — open the recording at 43 minutes 32 secondsSpeaker 516: about it yeah yeah yes and then yes again that one's a little while away and plus it's also on

214. 0:43:41 — open the recording at 43 minutes 41 secondsAnne-Therese Ryan (director (staff)): the agenda but for the the vigil i just wanted to make you all aware that that and they had reached

215. 0:43:49 — open the recording at 43 minutes 49 secondsAnne-Therese Ryan (director (staff)): out to me the mayor unfortunately cannot attend that's his daughter's birthday so i think that they are otherwise occupied and so i think i'll be either reading the proclamation on behalf of the mayor but i just want to make sure you are all aware of that since they had invited me to be a part of it. I want to, of course, extend the invitation to the entire commission,

216. 0:44:14 — open the recording at 44 minutes 14 secondsAnne-Therese Ryan (director (staff)): but it's low participation level and totally optional as it is, you know, a faith oriented activity. Pride Fest, we'll get into more of what that, but it is like, it is just such a joyful day.

217. 0:44:32 — open the recording at 44 minutes 32 secondsSpeaker 521: We always have a table and we have giveaways from the city and that's mainly what

218. 0:44:38 — open the recording at 44 minutes 38 secondsAnne-Therese Ryan (director (staff)): are we have shifts where we have different commissioners um but um we always also try to make sure that during your shift you get a chance to step away from the booth um and and get to

219. 0:44:52 — open the recording at 44 minutes 52 secondsAnne-Therese Ryan (director (staff)): participate and uzaya is usually a performer so you know making sure we go over and support uzaya

220. 0:44:59 — open the recording at 44 minutes 59 secondsSpeaker 522: and um there's lots of food trucks and all sorts of good stuff yeah it is organized by our

221. 0:45:08 — open the recording at 45 minutes 8 secondsSpeaker 526: a lot of katie luger so you you know it's you know it's good yeah um but any other questions

222. 0:45:16 — open the recording at 45 minutes 16 secondsSpeaker 426: that thank you no i'm glad that you asked that i will send like i said i'll send out a request for

223. 0:45:22 — open the recording at 45 minutes 22 secondsAnne-Therese Ryan (director (staff)): shifts for the family learning day it is after our next meeting so i just i'm trying to put it on everyone's calendar as as well but we do need to accept that into the minutes ready to uh

224. 0:45:40 — open the recording at 45 minutes 40 secondsLakisha M. Bradley (chair): accept the directing report do you have a motion

225. 0:45:44 — open the recording at 45 minutes 44 secondsSpeaker 532: so second all those in favor of accepting the director's report

226. 0:45:50 — open the recording at 45 minutes 50 secondsSpeaker 536: I wanted to put in here I brought it up earlier but that I really don't know what to expect

227. 0:46:14 — open the recording at 46 minutes 14 secondsAnne-Therese Ryan (director (staff)): from this presentation. These are the things that we asked for, though, and I wanted to share that again. We asked mainly my number one thing, stakeholder engagement, getting feedback through interviews. I sent them a long list of people to talk to.

228. 0:46:34 — open the recording at 46 minutes 34 secondsAnne-Therese Ryan (director (staff)): And I've asked a few different people who were on that list if they had been reached out to. And as of now, no.

229. 0:46:42 — open the recording at 46 minutes 42 secondsAnne-Therese Ryan (director (staff)): them. So a little worried on that front, but I wanted to bring this back to your attention so

230. 0:46:50 — open the recording at 46 minutes 50 secondsAnne-Therese Ryan (director (staff)): you could kind of get an idea of what we asked for. And then when you see the presentation, see how that kind of matches up with what we asked for. Other big things were we wanted to just really have a clear structure for how this committee should operate, you know, who should be on it are we doing this the right way with you know five people three from the commission two from the community we just wanted we either to be validated that we're doing it the right way or feedback that you're forgetting something or you could do better by doing this we wanted to

231. 0:47:32 — open the recording at 47 minutes 32 secondsAnne-Therese Ryan (director (staff)): make sure that the nomination process is still working to the best that it could be and then if

232. 0:47:39 — open the recording at 47 minutes 39 secondsAnne-Therese Ryan (director (staff)): if there's any like recommendations for the future.

233. 0:47:43 — open the recording at 47 minutes 43 secondsAnne-Therese Ryan (director (staff)): Should we have 10 banners installed every year? Should there only be five? Like we were just kind of looking for some guidance. And most of that I really was hoping would be driven

234. 0:47:55 — open the recording at 47 minutes 55 secondsAnne-Therese Ryan (director (staff)): by the conversations that they had with community members.

235. 0:47:59 — open the recording at 47 minutes 59 secondsAnne-Therese Ryan (director (staff)): But as I mentioned in the director's report, the final presentation is Saturday, August 29th at 10 a.m. at University Hall.

236. 0:48:09 — open the recording at 48 minutes 9 secondsAnne-Therese Ryan (director (staff)): Dr. Mary hasn't sent me the room number yet. When I get that, I will send it to you all. And she'd also said that she might send me the executive summary in advance. So I will make sure that that's attached to the calendar invite as well. So you can review that in advance and kind of see that in comparison to what we expected.

237. 0:48:30 — open the recording at 48 minutes 30 secondsSpeaker 544: And just to give you a preview. anyway

238. 0:48:35 — open the recording at 48 minutes 35 secondsSpeaker 426: yeah it's it's a learning process the neighborhood investment fund is at a big um Friday um

239. 0:48:52 — open the recording at 48 minutes 52 secondsSpeaker 522: we funded seven projects so um feel really glad that we I was gonna say we're done but we're not

240. 0:49:00 — open the recording at 49 minutesSpeaker 500: done well there's only there's six district but there's two from district one oh i see

241. 0:49:09 — open the recording at 49 minutes 9 secondsAnne-Therese Ryan (director (staff)): so there are seven there um uh we only have six districts so and we still had money left

     0:49:17 — open the recording at 49 minutes 17 secondsAnne-Therese Ryan (director (staff)): you know so i will explain though all of this so we received 19 applications from all over terra

243. 0:49:23 — open the recording at 49 minutes 23 secondsAnne-Therese Ryan (director (staff)): hope um requesting 215 000 over 215 000 which is almost three times what we had so um strong

244. 0:49:34 — open the recording at 49 minutes 34 secondsAnne-Therese Ryan (director (staff)): response disappointing that we don't have enough money to fund everything lovely lovely projects

245. Highlight · drawn from this moment: City reports $74,261 in first-round Neighborhood Investment Fund awards for 7 projects

     0:49:41 — open the recording at 49 minutes 41 secondsAnne-Therese Ryan (director (staff)): wide range of improvements public art neighborhood signs and banners landscaping projects pavilions gathering spaces a couple different requests for playground equipment several requests for crosswalk improvements or additions of crosswalks um there were a few um yeah kind of like accessibility things as well so these are the seven projects that have been funded for a total of $74,261. We have, we did not use the full 75, mostly because we funded things at the exact amount that they were. And there wasn't any projects that were for, what would that be,

246. 0:50:31 — open the recording at 50 minutes 31 secondsAnne-Therese Ryan (director (staff)): $739. So there is that little buffer. Of course, if something goes wrong, if we start digging underground on one of these and you know have an emergency we can hopefully fund it with $739

247. 0:50:47 — open the recording at 50 minutes 47 secondsAnne-Therese Ryan (director (staff)): it's a neighborhood there's a park in brittle bank um called brittle bank park but that is the

248. 0:50:55 — open the recording at 50 minutes 55 secondsAnne-Therese Ryan (director (staff)): name of the neighborhood uh it's on the south east side of Terre Haute um like Holman and

249. 0:51:04 — open the recording at 51 minutes 4 secondsSpeaker 559: 19th is like kind of the center is that where the park is 21st 22nd i'll pull it up on that

250. 0:51:13 — open the recording at 51 minutes 13 secondsAnne-Therese Ryan (director (staff)): yeah i had the same question because i had never heard of it um so here's passive all the time yeah so yeah kind of in this this is considered between margaret and pullman 19th and fruit Ridge is considered the Brittle Bank neighborhood. So the site where this mural will be is not actually in the park. It's so we made sure it's the neighborhood mural. It's at Muse Art. It'll be on the side of their building. Inside? No on the side. It'll be on the side. So it's right on

251. 0:51:50 — open the recording at 51 minutes 50 secondsAnne-Therese Ryan (director (staff)): coleman so it is a major road major thoroughfare um but if i drop the pin and that's what they where they wanted it to be well um the property owners of muse art um they had offered up their building i think it's this one right here and it'll be right there on the side um so they've offered up their building

252. 0:52:20 — open the recording at 52 minutes 20 secondsSpeaker 580: number and so i think part of that is that the sign will say brittle banks it'll create some

253. 0:52:36 — open the recording at 52 minutes 36 secondsAnne-Therese Ryan (director (staff)): neighborhood identity um but um kind of to share how the selection process went and how the reviews went um the first thing is we got all the applications in by july 17th it closed right at

254. 0:52:50 — open the recording at 52 minutes 50 secondsAnne-Therese Ryan (director (staff)): that our deadline of midnight um 11 59. um so the first thing i did was i i just went through

255. 0:53:00 — open the recording at 53 minutesAnne-Therese Ryan (director (staff)): everything and made sure that like they had submitted all of the correct documents and

256. 0:53:05 — open the recording at 53 minutes 5 secondsAnne-Therese Ryan (director (staff)): everybody did so then that was the only touch point really that i had where i was like um

257. 0:53:11 — open the recording at 53 minutes 11 secondsAnne-Therese Ryan (director (staff)): really like look reviewing anything but it was just to make sure everybody had submitted all of

258. Highlight · drawn from this moment: City reports $74,261 in first-round Neighborhood Investment Fund awards for 7 projects

     0:53:17 — open the recording at 53 minutes 17 secondsAnne-Therese Ryan (director (staff)): the appropriate documents and everyone did so all the applications then went to a community review group which was Tammy Bolin, Curtis Devon, LaKeisha Bradley, Judge Chris Newton, and Joshua

259. 0:53:31 — open the recording at 53 minutes 31 secondsAnne-Therese Ryan (director (staff)): elmore and they um had to go through all 19 and it took a long time so big big thank you um and there was scoring and comments um for every application um and the scores were really like about whether or not that they'll like it really met what the question was asking not whether or

260. 0:53:54 — open the recording at 53 minutes 54 secondsAnne-Therese Ryan (director (staff)): not that they thought the project was a good idea we really were trying we could try to have this like neutral rubric um so big big thank you to our review committee at the same time our engineering our city engineer i think you had some assistance from other engineers on staff they reviewed every proposal and gave it either a favorable a favorable with conditions or a not favorable review because some projects involved quite a bit of construction heavy construction work and we needed to know if these were feasible especially for the price and so that was happening at the

261. 0:54:34 — open the recording at 54 minutes 34 secondsAnne-Therese Ryan (director (staff)): same time that the reviewers then those scores and the comments and the engineering reviews were

262. 0:54:43 — open the recording at 54 minutes 43 secondsAnne-Therese Ryan (director (staff)): aggregated and given to our senior review committee which was the mayor his director of public works jesse towhill and then city engineer marcus also sat in on this conversation and the And the three of them made the final decisions considering the scores, the engineering review, as well as other factors such as geographic diversity, project diversity, and readiness

263. 0:55:09 — open the recording at 55 minutes 9 secondsAnne-Therese Ryan (director (staff)): of the actual projects. So we wanted, you know, what I heard over and over again from the mayor was, you know, we need to cover the entire city with this. can't all be in one particular side of town which we did have a lot concentrated with i mean there of the 19 projects i think if we counted it was like 13 of them were within one mile of one another or within we're in one like square or one mile radius so maybe it was i don't i could i don't

264. 0:55:44 — open the recording at 55 minutes 44 secondsAnne-Therese Ryan (director (staff)): know where that yeah there were a lot within like a small area um yeah i think i know it's not part

265. 0:55:54 — open the recording at 55 minutes 54 secondsSpeaker 595: of your report but no you're good um some of us had to repeat ourselves yes yes absolutely absolutely

266. 0:56:04 — open the recording at 56 minutes 4 secondsAnne-Therese Ryan (director (staff)): many of the projects yeah and so yeah so you can actually see up on the screen this is where every

267. 0:56:10 — open the recording at 56 minutes 10 secondsAnne-Therese Ryan (director (staff)): project was so we kind of had some gaps and you know people might wonder well why was nothing you know no projects in this area well because we didn't get any applications for that area but you

268. 0:56:21 — open the recording at 56 minutes 21 secondsAnne-Therese Ryan (director (staff)): can see um all of these within kind of one mile of one another um i mean really yeah that's demy park right there so two on there several within poplar um but anyway the ones that were actually awarded

269. 0:56:38 — open the recording at 56 minutes 38 secondsAnne-Therese Ryan (director (staff)): i don't know if this is um which a is in the wrong a is in the wrong place um but it should be down there but this is yeah about where everyone was um so it should be that way they're not all

270. 0:56:58 — open the recording at 56 minutes 58 secondsSpeaker 504: consecrated inside. So, um, yeah, it's on Facebook if you follow the city, but, um, uh, yeah,

271. 0:57:10 — open the recording at 57 minutes 10 secondsAnne-Therese Ryan (director (staff)): the mayor was so pleased. And of course, you know, he and, um, Jesse and Marcus were like, you know, well, the mayor, he's quite frugal. So I don't think he was, he was never like,

272. 0:57:21 — open the recording at 57 minutes 21 secondsAnne-Therese Ryan (director (staff)): well, we should fund them all. But he was like, uh, you know, really was like, they've all had a really hard time, you know, what do you, which ones, and so it came down to a lot of times geographic and then project diversity, you know, we didn't want to fund, you know, seven projects that all essentially did the same thing, you know, seven playgrounds or seven, you know, landscaping improvements, trying to make sure there's a diversity of projects.

273. 0:57:48 — open the recording at 57 minutes 48 secondsSpeaker 613: So this is all good to know. Yes, yes. If someone who lived in a neighborhood where they were kids, I know.

274. 0:57:56 — open the recording at 57 minutes 56 secondsSpeaker 615: I know. I'll hear a lot of rumbling and then I can say.

275. 0:58:00 — open the recording at 58 minutesAnne-Therese Ryan (director (staff)): Yes, I've been emailing back and forth with one individual and part, you know, some of the some of the applications, it's like, you know,

276. 0:58:10 — open the recording at 58 minutes 10 secondsAnne-Therese Ryan (director (staff)): what we've realized was in our application workshops, we could have done a better job by having an engineer available to answer questions. Now, some of the people that applied that had these engineering challenges didn't come to a workshop. So, like, you know, it wasn't just that. But we want to make sure we're offering up an engineer at our workshops. And Marcus is like, yes, I want to do it.

277. 0:58:39 — open the recording at 58 minutes 39 secondsAnne-Therese Ryan (director (staff)): he's been so he was like I love this project like we should do more money next year and

278. 0:58:44 — open the recording at 58 minutes 44 secondsAnne-Therese Ryan (director (staff)): keep your fingers crossed hopefully we we can um but um this uh it's so hard because you know people oh we need to add you know this this you know for example the triangle parks like they didn't you'd need a curb ramp to make sure that they're accessible and like maybe a per you know, I don't even know how much that would cost. And so an engineer might be able to give people better cost estimates

279. 0:59:12 — open the recording at 59 minutes 12 secondsAnne-Therese Ryan (director (staff)): and help them understand if their project is really feasible for a $15,000 thing.

280. 0:59:19 — open the recording at 59 minutes 19 secondsSpeaker 400: So anyway, it's been.

281. 0:59:21 — open the recording at 59 minutes 21 secondsSandy Mutchler (commissioner): And that in particular was the fact that we used to have. I know, yeah.

282. 0:59:26 — open the recording at 59 minutes 26 secondsSpeaker 382: We used to have all kinds of equipment in there. And so that probably just didn't occur to them in all these, you know, 25 years.

283. 0:59:35 — open the recording at 59 minutes 35 secondsAnne-Therese Ryan (director (staff)): what is the equipment's been there it's been a real like learning process this whole and you know

284. 0:59:42 — open the recording at 59 minutes 42 secondsAnne-Therese Ryan (director (staff)): um the mayor is very committed to you know having this fund again next year of course the actual number for how much will be in the fund um depends a little bit on budget season and

285. 0:59:56 — open the recording at 59 minutes 56 secondsAnne-Therese Ryan (director (staff)): and what the surplus is looking like. But I think, you know, we will have a fund again next year and I am hopeful that people will reapply, that we'll get this, having had this, we'll have it again

286. 1:00:12 — open the recording at 1 hour 12 secondsAnne-Therese Ryan (director (staff)): and we'll have more interest in it. There's things I could have definitely done better

287. 1:00:19 — open the recording at 1 hour 19 secondsAnne-Therese Ryan (director (staff)): or different, so I've learned

288. 1:00:22 — open the recording at 1 hour 22 secondsAnne-Therese Ryan (director (staff)): and maybe make the application a little bit easier, less of the same questions, maybe make the review process a little bit different.

289. 1:00:34 — open the recording at 1 hour 34 secondsAnne-Therese Ryan (director (staff)): But sometimes you just don't know until you get into it and you start doing it.

290. 1:00:43 — open the recording at 1 hour 43 secondsAnne-Therese Ryan (director (staff)): Yeah, no, but I found it to be,

291. 1:00:47 — open the recording at 1 hour 47 secondsAnne-Therese Ryan (director (staff)): and I'm like, obviously these projects aren't done yet, I'm like when you have like a physical thing that you know is like oh I like helped this

292. 1:00:57 — open the recording at 1 hour 57 secondsAnne-Therese Ryan (director (staff)): project you know like I didn't pick them obviously but you know once the banners go up in Farrington's

293. 1:01:03 — open the recording at 1 hour 1 minute 3 secondsAnne-Therese Ryan (director (staff)): Grove or the the playground goes up at Greenwood Manor I'm gonna be like ah that was because of us

294. 1:01:10 — open the recording at 1 hour 1 minute 10 secondsSpeaker 481: you can see that some projects um require more money than always yes and it's based off of yeah

295. 1:01:17 — open the recording at 1 hour 1 minute 17 secondsSpeaker 554: what they submitted um so we didn't you know we we we didn't half fund anything it was you know

296. 1:01:26 — open the recording at 1 hour 1 minute 26 secondsAnne-Therese Ryan (director (staff)): they said they asked for that and it could be feasibly done within that that was how they were

297. 1:01:34 — open the recording at 1 hour 1 minute 34 secondsAnne-Therese Ryan (director (staff)): um it's someone actually connected to muse art madison king yes um so uh the design

298. 1:01:45 — open the recording at 1 hour 1 minute 45 secondsAnne-Therese Ryan (director (staff)): okay yeah um the design looks really cool it's like a pickleball feature yeah

299. 1:01:54 — open the recording at 1 hour 1 minute 54 secondsSpeaker 223 (community review committee member (guest)): across all of the applications like they were amazing projects if i had to be the person to pick

300. 1:02:02 — open the recording at 1 hour 2 minutes 2 secondsSpeaker 283 (community review committee member (guest)): it would have been extremely hard i appreciated the passion within the applications of how people

301. 1:02:09 — open the recording at 1 hour 2 minutes 9 secondsSpeaker 223 (community review committee member (guest)): wanted to approve for the ones that i was able to review there were several that i was not i had to reduce myself but um to see 19 applications for um this project was was pretty amazing and how

302. 1:02:26 — open the recording at 1 hour 2 minutes 26 secondsSpeaker 364 (community review committee member (guest)): people are invested in their community and wanted to see change in whatever way they wanted to see

303. 1:02:31 — open the recording at 1 hour 2 minutes 31 secondsSpeaker 283 (community review committee member (guest)): change so i'm happy that the mayor is going to to do this again um for me personally i learned a lot

304. 1:02:38 — open the recording at 1 hour 2 minutes 38 secondsSpeaker 223 (community review committee member (guest)): about the communities here, meeting the people who came to the workshops that I was at, and just kind of hearing history and stories about those communities.

305. 1:02:48 — open the recording at 1 hour 2 minutes 48 secondsSpeaker 364 (community review committee member (guest)): So that was helpful for me, as somebody who is not from the community, but making the connection with people.

306. 1:02:56 — open the recording at 1 hour 2 minutes 56 secondsSpeaker 656: I wonder about, did you feedback the people who were just working at what their reactions were?

307. 1:03:06 — open the recording at 1 hour 3 minutes 6 secondsSpeaker 660: Yeah, I think it's been kind of mixed. Yeah.

308. 1:03:12 — open the recording at 1 hour 3 minutes 12 secondsSpeaker 661: Oh, for sure. Oh, for sure. Yeah.

309. 1:03:17 — open the recording at 1 hour 3 minutes 17 secondsSpeaker 664: Oh, yeah. Yeah.

310. 1:03:21 — open the recording at 1 hour 3 minutes 21 secondsAnne-Therese Ryan (director (staff)): Yeah.

311. 1:03:22 — open the recording at 1 hour 3 minutes 22 secondsAnne-Therese Ryan (director (staff)): I mean, I think one thing is, is that it is a risk.

312. 1:03:27 — open the recording at 1 hour 3 minutes 27 secondsAnne-Therese Ryan (director (staff)): You know, you always take a risk when you apply for a grant that you might not get it. And so, you know, there was no guarantee of funding. I think that the having the reviewers and then having engineering score everything as well helped the senior review committee.

313. 1:03:54 — open the recording at 1 hour 3 minutes 54 secondsAnne-Therese Ryan (director (staff)): like I mean just up there just so it's like it's pretty easy to share with people it's like okay you were not chosen for this reason and it was either there were a few where it was it wasn't engineeringly feasible for the budget that you submitted whereas other ones it was you know there just wasn't an yours was highly competitive but geographic geography came into the consideration

314. 1:04:21 — open the recording at 1 hour 4 minutes 21 secondsAnne-Therese Ryan (director (staff)): and yours was below another one that was within the same area.

315. 1:04:26 — open the recording at 1 hour 4 minutes 26 secondsSpeaker 21: So they told that they could apply. Next year?

316. 1:04:32 — open the recording at 1 hour 4 minutes 32 secondsSpeaker 347: Yes.

317. 1:04:34 — open the recording at 1 hour 4 minutes 34 secondsAnne-Therese Ryan (director (staff)): Well, yeah, next year, yeah. And again, it'll depend on how much funding we have.

318. 1:04:40 — open the recording at 1 hour 4 minutes 40 secondsAnne-Therese Ryan (director (staff)): But again, yeah, there's kind of no guarantee ever. Yeah, so, yeah, I think it is disappointing. you know it's it's disappointing when you put in a lot of effort um but yeah

319. 1:04:57 — open the recording at 1 hour 4 minutes 57 secondsAnne-Therese Ryan (director (staff)): yeah so wtwa came on friday um and and wthi didn't come until monday but thankfully the

320. 1:05:07 — open the recording at 1 hour 5 minutes 7 secondsAnne-Therese Ryan (director (staff)): mayor was in that day so i had him share instead of me since um i actually wasn't one of the

321. 1:05:14 — open the recording at 1 hour 5 minutes 14 secondsAnne-Therese Ryan (director (staff)): selectors i thought it would be good to have him share um and then the tribune star i think did a

322. 1:05:20 — open the recording at 1 hour 5 minutes 20 secondsSpeaker 364 (community review committee member (guest)): story too so yeah we did from the newer perspective of our portion of it we was we highlighted the

323. 1:05:31 — open the recording at 1 hour 5 minutes 31 secondsSpeaker 283 (community review committee member (guest)): strengths of every application and areas of improvement of every application so we were able to give you know them feedback that was not selected this is kind of what was missing this is

324. 1:05:42 — open the recording at 1 hour 5 minutes 42 secondsSpeaker 223 (community review committee member (guest)): where you can enhance this but these these parts were like really good yeah it wasn't it was a very um equitable and fair process in that regard because we all were like these projects are like

325. 1:05:57 — open the recording at 1 hour 5 minutes 57 secondsSpeaker 283 (community review committee member (guest)): really good like some ideas that were pretty impressive that we would have never thought of and then some ideas was like man this should have been done a long time ago so it wasn't about the

326. 1:06:08 — open the recording at 1 hour 6 minutes 8 secondsSpeaker 223 (community review committee member (guest)): quality of the project yeah but with 75 000 hours yeah that's a gig i know it's yeah yeah yeah yeah

327. 1:06:22 — open the recording at 1 hour 6 minutes 22 secondsSpeaker 660: it's it's tough um yeah it's tough to say no to people okay um are you all ready to talk about

328. 1:06:32 — open the recording at 1 hour 6 minutes 32 secondsAnne-Therese Ryan (director (staff)): Pride Fest. So like I said, Saturday, October 3rd from 12 to 6 at Fairbanks Park. Pride Fest,

329. 1:06:45 — open the recording at 1 hour 6 minutes 45 secondsAnne-Therese Ryan (director (staff)): the fifth annual. Congrats to the Terre Haute Pride Center on this big milestone. And so we have been invited to be a sponsor again. I received that email from the the Terre Haute Pride Center. I do want to ask a question of our advisory member, Katie. I went to your website and I tried to find the sponsorship application again and I can

330. 1:07:15 — open the recording at 1 hour 7 minutes 15 secondsSpeaker 525: no longer find it. So I don't know if it went away. We will reopen it because we had our

331. 1:07:22 — open the recording at 1 hour 7 minutes 22 secondsKatie Luger (advisory member — Pride Center of Terre Haute): application closed August 1st and then extended to the 15th, but then we're just going to open them to the end of the month because we've had some other folks who are um like our the therapy group even in our um crew wasn't able to get theirs done yet so um yeah so it will be relaunched it'll be open it's there it's just probably hidden for right now okay well that

332. Highlight · drawn from this moment: Human Relations Commission approves $3,000 Pride Fest sponsorship after tabling it in July

     1:07:46 — open the recording at 1 hour 7 minutes 46 secondsAnne-Therese Ryan (director (staff)): helps so i apologize that we're late but no problem no problem last time at our july meeting we did talk about the pride fest sponsorship um uh and i think that there were maybe people

333. 1:08:01 — open the recording at 1 hour 8 minutes 1 secondAnne-Therese Ryan (director (staff)): people wanted to ask you some questions so i do offer that up now people have questions for

334. 1:08:09 — open the recording at 1 hour 8 minutes 9 secondsSpeaker 705: our pal katie i'm so glad to hear your voice i'm so glad to use my brain yeah i've been like

335. 1:08:18 — open the recording at 1 hour 8 minutes 18 secondsKatie Luger (advisory member — Pride Center of Terre Haute): rotting rotting away and just watching so much like tv and doing nothing and so i got approved to go back to work two days ago or yesterday what day is it yeah yesterday so yeah i'm glad to like be back in action a little bit before i can be released for in-person stuff so yeah

336. 1:08:37 — open the recording at 1 hour 8 minutes 37 secondsSpeaker 711: Yeah.

337. 1:08:38 — open the recording at 1 hour 8 minutes 38 seconds Are we talking about sponsorship?

338. 1:08:44 — open the recording at 1 hour 8 minutes 44 secondsSpeaker 715: Yep, a sponsorship.

339. Highlight · drawn from this moment: Human Relations Commission approves $3,000 Pride Fest sponsorship after tabling it in July

     1:08:47 — open the recording at 1 hour 8 minutes 47 secondsAnne-Therese Ryan (director (staff)): Last year we did a tier two sponsorship of $3,000 and I think there were some questions

340. 1:08:55 — open the recording at 1 hour 8 minutes 55 secondsAnne-Therese Ryan (director (staff)): just that you all had because we had tabled this until this meeting.

341. 1:09:02 — open the recording at 1 hour 9 minutes 2 secondsSpeaker 319: I don't remember what the questions were.

342. 1:09:05 — open the recording at 1 hour 9 minutes 5 secondsSpeaker 161: Okay. Are they in the lyrics?

343. 1:09:08 — open the recording at 1 hour 9 minutes 8 secondsSpeaker 718: No. No, well.

344. 1:09:10 — open the recording at 1 hour 9 minutes 10 secondsSpeaker 161: I'm sorry. Yeah, because some of the people who had the questions are behind here.

345. 1:09:16 — open the recording at 1 hour 9 minutes 16 secondsSpeaker 114: Oh, the main questions are here.

346. 1:09:20 — open the recording at 1 hour 9 minutes 20 secondsSpeaker 723: I think the wonderful was about the reception, because wasn't that something that was not

347. 1:09:27 — open the recording at 1 hour 9 minutes 27 secondsSpeaker 725: utilized?

348. 1:09:28 — open the recording at 1 hour 9 minutes 28 secondsSpeaker 580: That was what I noted that I think I was the only person who was able to attend.

349. 1:09:37 — open the recording at 1 hour 9 minutes 37 secondsSpeaker 283 (community review committee member (guest)): So I think the crux of the name is where do we go with the sponsorship dollar amount. refresh my memory but in the 2025 budget was that sponsorship for 2025 or for 2026 it was for 2025

350. 1:10:00 — open the recording at 1 hour 10 minutesSpeaker 732: for last year we um that's where why i decided yeah we break off for a second you're good okay

351. 1:10:08 — open the recording at 1 hour 10 minutes 8 secondsSpeaker 364 (community review committee member (guest)): so we determined sponsorship for this year within this budget yeah yeah so there were

352. 1:10:14 — open the recording at 1 hour 10 minutes 14 secondsSpeaker 276: and then i think the other one was that allyship training so there were those two things that i said that we didn't think we needed to take advantage of

353. 1:10:28 — open the recording at 1 hour 10 minutes 28 secondsSpeaker 697: and if that's something that you want or like sometimes people kind of create their own and say

354. Highlight · drawn from this moment: Human Relations Commission approves $3,000 Pride Fest sponsorship after tabling it in July

     1:10:34 — open the recording at 1 hour 10 minutes 34 secondsSpeaker 739: oh we can't do this one but could we swap for something else and so that's fine like we're so

355. 1:10:40 — open the recording at 1 hour 10 minutes 40 secondsKatie Luger (advisory member — Pride Center of Terre Haute): flexible that we can kind of do what we want so if there are things that are better for you all if there are ways that we can acknowledge your sponsorship better in a different way that's fine

356. 1:10:51 — open the recording at 1 hour 10 minutes 51 secondsKatie Luger (advisory member — Pride Center of Terre Haute): I know last year because one of the things is we had conversations about would we be able to put the logo in a um a certain spot with a little payment you know and so we were we were happy to kind of pivot and talk like what could work what's fine what's not and so if there are things that are best just let me know because this is also our first time kind of upgrading our sponsorship package so if there are things that are more useful less useful let me know the allyship training what i can tell you about that it's actually a virtual training so we don't have

357. 1:11:25 — open the recording at 1 hour 11 minutes 25 secondsKatie Luger (advisory member — Pride Center of Terre Haute): to like come coordinate and find you all at the same time to do a presentation it's something that you can do on self-paste. There's video modules and things like that. And if it's something that you want access to or you'd like to defer to have someone else register, all we have to do at the work on our end is to send the email addresses for the chosen people. So whether it's people for the Human Relations Commission or if you want maybe other people within the, I guess,

358. 1:11:57 — open the recording at 1 hour 11 minutes 57 secondsKatie Luger (advisory member — Pride Center of Terre Haute): within the control the commission of who you can maybe tap to take the training but if they would

359. 1:12:02 — open the recording at 1 hour 12 minutes 2 secondsKatie Luger (advisory member — Pride Center of Terre Haute): like access to it like big big examples the mayor says i really want to take this training we can have him as one of those people right like so it doesn't necessarily have to be everybody there it just is who you want to register and participate um and then for the sponsor reception we changed

360. 1:12:21 — open the recording at 1 hour 12 minutes 21 secondsKatie Luger (advisory member — Pride Center of Terre Haute): the date because i think also we got the save the dates out late last year um and it was on a friday

361. 1:12:29 — open the recording at 1 hour 12 minutes 29 secondsKatie Luger (advisory member — Pride Center of Terre Haute): night and so we changed it to be a saturday lunch time i think so hearing the dates i don't have the calendar uh i can put my calendar i'm pretty sure it might be actually the same day as family learning day because we staffed it right after our september board meeting so our board members could also be present um so the sponsor reception is tentative right now set for saturday september 26th from noon to 1 30. so that might also be falling during um uh family learning day possibly but don't but there's other things we can do too we'll still make sure that you have the gifts and

362. 1:13:11 — open the recording at 1 hour 13 minutes 11 secondsKatie Luger (advisory member — Pride Center of Terre Haute): your thanks and I can send the presentation to AT or I can share it at a meeting. So there are things that we can happily do to be flexible. You just tell me what you need and any level of support is helpful of course. I will be transparent it's a little bit of a struggle this year because more and more organizations aren't able to well aren't able won't kind of the question It's just the state of the government and political things and all the natural structures that we've been experiencing. Not natural structures, the structures we've been experiencing, but anywho.

363. 1:13:53 — open the recording at 1 hour 13 minutes 53 secondsKatie Luger (advisory member — Pride Center of Terre Haute): So at whatever level you are able to give or like to give, we will be so appreciative. Just know that we're happy to be flexible and there are questions from the package. We're happy to meet your needs.

364. 1:14:04 — open the recording at 1 hour 14 minutes 4 secondsSpeaker 39: It seems that if it's the allyship would be interesting, but if you, some of us are

365. 1:14:13 — open the recording at 1 hour 14 minutes 13 secondsSpeaker 748: going to be at family learning day that same day. Oh, I think the allyship training can happen whenever, but the reception.

366. 1:14:23 — open the recording at 1 hour 14 minutes 23 secondsSpeaker 750: Oh, I mean, it's close during that time.

367. 1:14:26 — open the recording at 1 hour 14 minutes 26 secondsAnne-Therese Ryan (director (staff)): Yeah, which, I mean, that's, yeah, I get, yeah, I think, again, to Katie, that's something that no one is able to go to because we have a, you know, we could ask for something else. But again, it's totally up to you all. Like I said, in terms of finances, we have about $10,248 to play with for the rest of the year.

368. 1:14:57 — open the recording at 1 hour 14 minutes 57 secondsAnne-Therese Ryan (director (staff)): We gave $1,500 to Juneteenth and $1,500 to Young Black and Empowered because there wasn't the one Juneteenth thing this year. So we still gave the $3,000 that we had given the previous year, but we split it between two programs. And then I have not heard about the NAACP Freedom Fund or if that's happening again, but we spent about $1,000 last year on that.

369. 1:15:26 — open the recording at 1 hour 15 minutes 26 secondsAnne-Therese Ryan (director (staff)): But those are things that we have done in the past or this year.

370. 1:15:39 — open the recording at 1 hour 15 minutes 39 secondsSpeaker 283 (community review committee member (guest)): I know some of the conversation was, so for the record, the conversation never occurred about not sponsoring. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

371. 1:15:55 — open the recording at 1 hour 15 minutes 55 secondsSpeaker 298: Just kind of put that out to the world of the people who don't watch the YouTube channel.

372. 1:16:04 — open the recording at 1 hour 16 minutes 4 secondsSpeaker 223 (community review committee member (guest)): But there was some conversation of a reduction specific to the reception.

373. 1:16:12 — open the recording at 1 hour 16 minutes 12 secondsSpeaker 283 (community review committee member (guest)): And the scheduling thing, I think that was a challenge also last year. Things that just are out of both groups control of not having somebody there. I don't necessarily know what would be an alternative. And I think continued discussions as we do have a little bit more time before we make a decision, just so that we have more voices at the table to figure out what that could look like. If not the reception, what can collectively we can agree upon,

374. 1:16:46 — open the recording at 1 hour 16 minutes 46 secondsSpeaker 372: if you will, if we wanna stick to the $3,000 sponsorship. I think that's too few voices to really make a decision today and maybe making it in the September meeting.

375. 1:17:01 — open the recording at 1 hour 17 minutes 1 secondSpeaker 283 (community review committee member (guest)): Or I don't know what the sponsorship deadline is, what that looks like.

376. 1:17:07 — open the recording at 1 hour 17 minutes 7 secondsSpeaker 765: Does that put us in a...

377. 1:17:09 — open the recording at 1 hour 17 minutes 9 secondsSpeaker 764: Yeah.

378. 1:17:10 — open the recording at 1 hour 17 minutes 10 secondsSpeaker 765: Yeah.

379. 1:17:11 — open the recording at 1 hour 17 minutes 11 secondsKatie Luger (advisory member — Pride Center of Terre Haute): If so, because our reception is essentially, or the pre-sponsor reception is basically we will feed everyone and then we give out our pride packs at that time and or like the thank you kit and i give a presentation about the a recap of the year how your sponsorship impact i'd be happy if it's helpful to come do that briefly at the next human relations commission too if that's a quick alternative but also we can talk about another perfer edition absolutely

380. 1:17:48 — open the recording at 1 hour 17 minutes 48 secondsSpeaker 771: How many people do you respect working?

381. 1:17:55 — open the recording at 1 hour 17 minutes 55 secondsSpeaker 562: I attended it last year, I will say I did have a good time just meeting jail responses.

382. 1:18:01 — open the recording at 1 hour 18 minutes 1 secondSpeaker 364 (community review committee member (guest)): And again, for me, it's always about connecting to people in the community and the place that they're in.

383. 1:18:07 — open the recording at 1 hour 18 minutes 7 secondsSpeaker 209: There have been several people from that perception that I met that we have been at a lot of events together.

384. 1:18:19 — open the recording at 1 hour 18 minutes 19 secondsSpeaker 223 (community review committee member (guest)): It was helpful for me and also to represent the commission, obviously. I love yoga.

385. 1:18:29 — open the recording at 1 hour 18 minutes 29 secondsAnne-Therese Ryan (director (staff)): Yeah, I think I just want to add, like, all of the benefits are, like, very generous.

386. 1:18:34 — open the recording at 1 hour 18 minutes 34 secondsAnne-Therese Ryan (director (staff)): And, like, for other things we have sponsored in the past, like, we've gotten our logo on something and haven't gotten.

387. 1:18:42 — open the recording at 1 hour 18 minutes 42 secondsAnne-Therese Ryan (director (staff)): So, like, thinking not just about the benefits that we get as an organization, but also thinking about the benefit that this event has to the community, I think, is something that, like, we've used to justify other sponsorships in the past.

388. 1:18:58 — open the recording at 1 hour 18 minutes 58 secondsSpeaker 397: Sure.

389. 1:18:59 — open the recording at 1 hour 18 minutes 59 secondsSpeaker 783: I mean, that's it.

390. 1:19:03 — open the recording at 1 hour 19 minutes 3 secondsSpeaker 214: I don't, I, I'm, Katie did say that the, the sponsorship deadline technically has already passed, but you're, um, yeah, I just, I, I think that, yeah, that would be helpful to

391. 1:19:17 — open the recording at 1 hour 19 minutes 17 secondsSpeaker 788: the conversation is like, what, how, how late can we go?

392. 1:19:22 — open the recording at 1 hour 19 minutes 22 secondsSpeaker 401: Um, sooner the better.

393. 1:19:27 — open the recording at 1 hour 19 minutes 27 secondsKatie Luger (advisory member — Pride Center of Terre Haute): yeah well that's a whole lot to me like ideally if we could get things moving this week since now

394. 1:19:34 — open the recording at 1 hour 19 minutes 34 secondsKatie Luger (advisory member — Pride Center of Terre Haute): i'm back from medical leave i've got a crank out price that so um i'm going to be worked because i go back to work in person probably around september 1st and so while i have um the ability to work remotely during the day and just stay home and eat in the evening and work on christmas and Pride Center stuff it's helpful just from a trying to get things done before September 1 because then I go back to work and then we're officially a month out from Pride Fest and a month out from Pride Fest is when we want to have our marketing materials, flyers, everything finalized so we can start sharing

395. 1:20:13 — open the recording at 1 hour 20 minutes 13 secondsKatie Luger (advisory member — Pride Center of Terre Haute): the good news about Pride Fest, coming up to the schedule, everything like that. So my goal is to kind of binge Pride Fest the next two weeks and then we hopefully as done with it as possible so we're ready to go on October.

396. 1:20:28 — open the recording at 1 hour 20 minutes 28 secondsSpeaker 605: Yeah because our next meeting it's the 16th which is only two weeks before the event.

397. 1:20:38 — open the recording at 1 hour 20 minutes 38 secondsSpeaker 241 (commissioner): I don't necessarily want to be the only voice.

398. 1:20:41 — open the recording at 1 hour 20 minutes 41 secondsSpeaker 14 (commissioner): Yes but at the same time I don't have experience on what happened last year to decide at this point but I mean I supported 100%

399. 1:20:54 — open the recording at 1 hour 20 minutes 54 secondsSpeaker 476: So if we participated in 3000 last year and then it was one time 5000 I would say since we might have more participation

400. 1:21:11 — open the recording at 1 hour 21 minutes 11 secondsSpeaker 14 (commissioner): like do some team between the 5,000 and 3,000. That's what I would say that we did.

401. 1:21:20 — open the recording at 1 hour 21 minutes 20 secondsSpeaker 382: It's very generous. It seems to me that if none of us particularly care about the,

402. 1:21:27 — open the recording at 1 hour 21 minutes 27 secondsSpeaker 809: no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. I know.

403. 1:21:32 — open the recording at 1 hour 21 minutes 32 secondsSpeaker 498: About the reception, you know, it's not like we're saying, oh, we really were wanting to do this because we really want to go to that reception. Yeah. And none of us, I mean we're all willing to either go or to not go, then the things that matter most are giving to them.

404. 1:21:49 — open the recording at 1 hour 21 minutes 49 secondsSpeaker 382: And the recognition that we get, those are the things that really are more important to us as a group than, you know, the receptionist night, but that's not really why they're doing it.

405. 1:22:02 — open the recording at 1 hour 22 minutes 2 secondsSpeaker 817: the effects that we're looking for to the community. From what I'm hearing I think that

406. 1:22:14 — open the recording at 1 hour 22 minutes 14 secondsSpeaker 14 (commissioner): 3,500 would be reasonable. That's what I would say if you want to make decisions today. I don't know because things are more expensive every year than last year. We spent 3,000. That's what I would say I don't know.

407. 1:22:37 — open the recording at 1 hour 22 minutes 37 secondsSpeaker 24: I already said I support 3000. So that's my company. I'll go for you.

408. 1:22:45 — open the recording at 1 hour 22 minutes 45 secondsSpeaker 118: Do you have any thoughts for Jackie?

409. 1:22:47 — open the recording at 1 hour 22 minutes 47 secondsSpeaker 42: I also support 3000. I think that sounds good. I think 3000 sounds good.

410. 1:22:54 — open the recording at 1 hour 22 minutes 54 secondsKatie Luger (advisory member — Pride Center of Terre Haute): okay that is amazing and perfect and really truly wonderful and i really appreciate it and so does

411. 1:23:04 — open the recording at 1 hour 23 minutes 4 secondsKatie Luger (advisory member — Pride Center of Terre Haute): our team so i mean of course i know i have to be a career but that would be such a great help to us

412. 1:23:10 — open the recording at 1 hour 23 minutes 10 secondsSpeaker 703: thank you

413. Highlight · drawn from this moment: Human Relations Commission approves $3,000 Pride Fest sponsorship after tabling it in July

     1:23:11 — open the recording at 1 hour 23 minutes 11 secondsSpeaker 39: a motion

420. 1:24:28 — open the recording at 1 hour 24 minutes 28 secondsAnne-Therese Ryan (director (staff)): seven because I only heard from seven of the nine of us yeah my name's all over I know I know I know so we just need to we just need to decide um what day we're gonna do because unfortunately there's

421. 1:24:46 — open the recording at 1 hour 24 minutes 46 secondsAnne-Therese Ryan (director (staff)): not one day that works for everybody and i don't know about dana or justin it's you know yeah but

422. 1:24:53 — open the recording at 1 hour 24 minutes 53 secondsAnne-Therese Ryan (director (staff)): you're available all of those days um yes so yeah unfortunately yeah there's not a lot of good

423. 1:25:03 — open the recording at 1 hour 25 minutes 3 secondsAnne-Therese Ryan (director (staff)): sundays in there for me um so they weren't on the list and also i know we have some uh several church families in this group. So, um, I, um, we just, we'll just have to, and I'm, I really want Lucy,

424. 1:25:19 — open the recording at 1 hour 25 minutes 19 secondsAnne-Therese Ryan (director (staff)): I mean, I'm, I really want Lucy to be there because, uh, you know, you're new this year.

425. 1:25:25 — open the recording at 1 hour 25 minutes 25 secondsAnne-Therese Ryan (director (staff)): Um, but I also, um, don't know what to do. So this is, I'm presenting this predicament that I am in

426. 1:25:33 — open the recording at 1 hour 25 minutes 33 secondsSpeaker 432: to you all.

427. 1:25:35 — open the recording at 1 hour 25 minutes 35 secondsAnne-Therese Ryan (director (staff)): And so now.

428. 1:25:37 — open the recording at 1 hour 25 minutes 37 secondsSpeaker 432: I'm familiar with this. Yeah, yeah, yeah, please.

429. 1:25:42 — open the recording at 1 hour 25 minutes 42 secondsSpeaker 14 (commissioner): That would be like half one day and the other half on the side of the road.

430. 1:25:47 — open the recording at 1 hour 25 minutes 47 secondsSpeaker 862: That way I don't miss I miss half. I mean, someone else will miss half.

431. 1:25:53 — open the recording at 1 hour 25 minutes 53 secondsSpeaker 476: It's just an idea. Because we can't be all at the same time. You know. That's my idea.

432. 1:26:01 — open the recording at 1 hour 26 minutes 1 secondSpeaker 864: No, I. I like it.

433. 1:26:04 — open the recording at 1 hour 26 minutes 4 secondsSpeaker 866: No, I like it. I'm scratching my neck. No, no, you're good.

434. 1:26:10 — open the recording at 1 hour 26 minutes 10 secondsSpeaker 14 (commissioner): I will miss the first half, the day I can, I will miss the second half. Yeah.

435. 1:26:16 — open the recording at 1 hour 26 minutes 16 secondsSpeaker 871: Yeah. Because most of these times were like 10 to 4.

436. 1:26:24 — open the recording at 1 hour 26 minutes 24 secondsSpeaker 874: I think we said it would be from 9 to like 4.

437. 1:26:28 — open the recording at 1 hour 26 minutes 28 secondsSpeaker 521: or with an eight to nine breakfast. Yeah, nine to four.

438. 1:26:37 — open the recording at 1 hour 26 minutes 37 secondsSpeaker 877: Yeah.

439. 1:26:41 — open the recording at 1 hour 26 minutes 41 secondsSpeaker 881: Do it in the evening. What time do you get done teaching? I think.

440. 1:26:49 — open the recording at 1 hour 26 minutes 49 secondsSpeaker 883: Is it, what about- I teach from nine degrees. Oh, okay.

441. 1:26:52 — open the recording at 1 hour 26 minutes 52 secondsSpeaker 372: Or no, I don't like to do late, but what about instead of an early?

442. 1:26:58 — open the recording at 1 hour 26 minutes 58 secondsSpeaker 122: to an afternoon to an evening. Yes, and then I will miss the first part.

443. 1:27:08 — open the recording at 1 hour 27 minutes 8 secondsSpeaker 241 (commissioner): If that helps. I mean, you can go from two to something. You can have dinner.

444. 1:27:12 — open the recording at 1 hour 27 minutes 12 secondsSpeaker 860: And then I miss the first hour, one, two, three, for example.

445. 1:27:19 — open the recording at 1 hour 27 minutes 19 secondsAnne-Therese Ryan (director (staff)): Thankfully, we're still a long way out from October, but I'm like, if I needed to send out

446. 1:27:25 — open the recording at 1 hour 27 minutes 25 secondsSpeaker 256: a third that it written scheduling full but I think it easier to close I know I know I know

447. 1:27:33 — open the recording at 1 hour 27 minutes 33 secondsSpeaker 895: because I have this in the issue on the Tuesdays and Thursdays because I know yeah yeah

448. 1:27:39 — open the recording at 1 hour 27 minutes 39 secondsSpeaker 522: yeah and it's possible people's calendars have filled up now on these days but I'm just going off of what I had.

449. 1:27:54 — open the recording at 1 hour 27 minutes 54 secondsSpeaker 904: Typically for strategic planning, you don't want to break it up. You want to do it all in one block. Women have to leave.

450. 1:28:17 — open the recording at 1 hour 28 minutes 17 secondsSpeaker 914: I need to eat.

451. 1:28:22 — open the recording at 1 hour 28 minutes 22 secondsSpeaker 915: For strategic planning retreats, there is food. All the things.

452. 1:28:27 — open the recording at 1 hour 28 minutes 27 secondsSpeaker 917: There is food. Anything that says food.

453. 1:28:31 — open the recording at 1 hour 28 minutes 31 secondsSpeaker 918: I'm like, it's quite a bit, so you'll want a break.

454. 1:28:35 — open the recording at 1 hour 28 minutes 35 secondsSpeaker 723: You'll want a break.

455. 1:28:37 — open the recording at 1 hour 28 minutes 37 secondsSpeaker 920: Yeah. Body, soul, yes. For sure, for sure.

456. 1:28:41 — open the recording at 1 hour 28 minutes 41 secondsSpeaker 723: So I want to ask Jackie, since that was the day that Jackie and I had an issue with
