THANK YOU. ITEM NUMBER SIX ARE PRESENTATIONS.
ITEM NUMBER SEVEN, ACTION ITEMS, ALSO NONE ON THE AGENDA.
SECTION EIGHT. THIS IS KIND OF WHERE EVERYTHING IS, AS USUAL, EIGHT POINT ONE TRAFFIC
[8.1 Traffic Signal Update]
SIGNAL BOX UPDATES.JUST A QUICK CONTEXTUALIZATION, THE COMMISSION APPROVED, WE APPROVE THE RESUMPTION OF THE TRAFFIC SIGNAL BOX PROGRAM LAST JULY, JULY OF TWENTY TWENTY, AND NOT MUCH HAS HAPPENED SINCE THEN. HOWEVER, TWO NEW BOXES HAVE BEEN EXPEDITED AND WRAPPED.
THIS WAS KIND OF ONE OF THOSE SITUATIONS WHERE THE CITY MANAGER MADE IT A PRIORITY AND THEN THINGS HAPPENED, EVEN THOUGH WE HADN'T YET MET ABOUT IT, DECIDED THAT THIS WAS SOMETHING TO TO DO REALLY QUICK.
AND SO THEY PROCEEDED TO WRAP TWO OF THE BOXES.
AND THIS APRIL, WHICH IS THIS MONTH, THE OFFICIAL CALL FOR ARTISTS WILL RESUME ONLINE AND WE'LL DISCUSS THE BEST METHODS FOR THE APPLICATION.
SO I JUST WANTED TO POINT THAT OUT BEFORE I TURN IT OVER TO DEBORAH FOR UPDATES, JUST BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY IT'S NICE WHEN THE COMMISSION IS ABLE TO KNOW THESE THINGS BEFOREHAND.
BUT THIS WAS OUT OF STAFF'S HANDS IN THIS CASE.
SO, DEBORAH. AND TOM, THANKS FOR THAT.
YES, JUST TO REITERATE, THE CITY MANAGER REALLY WANTED THIS TO HAPPEN, AND I THINK THERE'S BEEN TALK FROM THE CITY COUNCIL ABOUT AN INTEREST IN SEEING THIS EXPEDITED.
AND SO DESPITE THE PROCESS THAT IS LAID OUT IN THE GUIDELINES THAT WERE APPROVED, BELIEVE IN 2020, YOU KNOW, I HAD TO MAKE A SELECTION.
SO I'M GIVEN THAT I DIDN'T HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO, YOU KNOW, GO, YOU KNOW, MEET WITH YOU GUYS AND SORT OF GO THROUGH OUR APPROVED STEPS.
I REACHED OUT TO THE LOCAL ARTS COLLECTIVE.
THEY WERE OPERATING FOR A MOMENT OUT OF ENDEMOL.
[00:05:02]
AND THERE ARE A LOT OF YOUNG LOCAL ARTISTS.AND I REACHED OUT TO THAT, THEIR DIRECTOR, AND SHE SENT ME SOME IMAGES AND I SELECTED SOME IMAGES AND MUCH SHE SENT ME, I, I SO I FIGURED, YOU KNOW, EVEN THOUGH WE DIDN'T GET TO GO THROUGH PROCESS, WHAT WHAT WE DECIDED WITH OUR STRATEGIC PLANNING IS THAT WE REALLY WANTED TO FOCUS ON PROVIDING OPPORTUNITIES FOR LOCAL ARTISTS AND EMERGING ARTISTS AND THIS SORT OF FIT WITHIN THAT BILL.
AND I AND THE IMAGES THEMSELVES ARE ALREADY DIGITAL.
SO IT SORT OF MADE IT REALLY EASY TO SHARE WITH, YOU KNOW, WITH THE, YOU KNOW, VENDOR THAT ACTUALLY MAKES THE APPS.
I THINK I THINK THEY CAME UP REALLY GOOD.
THE ARTISTS ARE JANET SUBPENA.
I DON'T KNOW IF I'M SEEING IT CORRECTLY.
OH, WAIT, LET ME LET ME LET ME CHECK AND MAKE SURE I'M SEEING THAT RIGHT.
NATION GIVING THEM THE CREDIT, THEY DID AN AMAZING JOB, ONE OF THE REASONS WHY I.
I KIND OF CONNECTED WHAT THEY WHAT THEY CREATED.
YES, J J L L SORRY WAS THAT I THOUGHT THEY HAD A REALLY GOOD MIX OF.
NO POSITIVITY SLASH MELANCHOLY OF BRINGING TOGETHER EVERYTHING THAT WE'RE GOING THROUGH RIGHT NOW. THE IMAGES ARE JUST REALLY BEAUTIFUL TO LOOK AT AND KIND OF CREATE SOME RESPITE FOR US WITH EVERYTHING THAT'S HAPPENING.
AND SO I REALLY I REALLY APPRECIATE THEM FOR STEPPING UP AND PROVIDING THOSE IMAGES TO US BECAUSE WE'RE STILL IN THE PROCESS OF OF, YOU KNOW, GETTING A LOT OF THINGS LAID DOWN.
BUT THEY WERE ABLE TO STEP UP AND SEND THOSE TO US.
AND SO THOSE ARE CURRENTLY LOCATED ON 111, NOAA SAYS, AND 111 AND SMERSH STREET.
AND AND I HOPE YOU GUYS HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO LOOK AT THEM AND IF NOT, POP BY AND HAVE A LOOK WITH REGARD TO, YOU KNOW, PROCEEDING GOING FORWARD.
WE HAVE A LOT OF TRAFFIC SIGNAL BOXES THAT DO NEED TO BE REPAIRED AND REPLACED.
AND SO THE IDEA IS TO PROBABLY HAVE A ROLLING SUBMISSION SO WE CAN KIND OF GET THEM OUT AND GET THEM DONE.
YOU KNOW, STARTING NOW, THE VENDOR THAT WE'RE WORKING WITH DOES REQUIRE SORT OF 30 DAYS FOR THEM TO BE ABLE TO EVERYONE REALLY CAME TOGETHER.
SO THAT WRAPS REALLY HELPED US IN TRYING TO EXPEDITE THIS.
BUT THEY GENERALLY NEED 30 DAYS TO WORK WITH THEIR DIGITAL TEAM TO MAKE SURE THE IMAGES CAN SORT OF FIT IN THE TRAFFIC SIGNAL.
AND I THINK THAT WE CAN PUT OUT A CALL TO ARTISTS AND SORT OF HAVE ROLLING SUBMISSIONS SO THAT ONCE WE HAVE ENOUGH TO PROVIDE TO THEM AND THEY HAVE ENOUGH TIME TO DO THE DIGITAL WORK TO INSTALL THEM, THAT WE CAN JUST CONTINUE DOING IT LIKE THAT INSTEAD OF PUTTING A LOT OF PRESSURE AND GETTING THEM DONE ALL AT ONCE.
AND TO THAT VEIN, I HAVE BEEN EXPOSED TO THE ACTUALLY SAID OF A SEMINAR AND USING A TABLE, THAT'S THE THERE'S A WAY TO HAVE THEM ONLINE SUBMITTED ONLINE, AND THEN I CAN SHARE THEM DIGITALLY WITH YOU GUYS.
AND SO THE QUESTION IS, DID YOU BECAUSE IT'S IT'S I DON'T SAY IT'S NOT A GOOD ONE, BUT BECAUSE IT'S IT'S SIMPLER FOR EVERYONE TO BE ABLE TO HAVE ACCESS.
DECIDE THAT, YOU KNOW, ALL OF THE COMMISSIONERS WILL WEIGH IN ON WHAT IT IS, OR WE CAN DETERMINE IF WE NEED TO KIND OF HAVE A SUBGROUP, AN AD HOC COMMITTEE SORT OF WORKING ON IT IN THE SAME WAY THAT WE LOOKED AT NEWBRIDGE.
SO I GUESS THAT WAS ONE OF THE THINGS IN TERMS OF HOW WE WANTED THIS TO PROCEED MOVING FORWARD, HOW WE WANT THE COMMISSION TO BE INVOLVED IS KIND OF CRUCIAL.
SO THE GOOD THING ABOUT AN AD HOC, AD HOC GROUP IS THAT THEY'RE ABLE TO SORT OF MEET, YOU KNOW, WHENEVER WHERE THE COMMISSION HAS, YOU KNOW, IT'S ONCE A MONTH DATE.
AND, YOU KNOW, COMING TOGETHER FOR SPECIAL MEETINGS ALL THE TIME IS KIND OF A BIT HECTIC.
AND I DON'T REALLY KNOW IF THAT'S HOW SPECIAL MEETINGS ARE SUPPOSED TO WORK.
SO I GUESS, YOU GUYS, THE DISCUSSION RIGHT NOW IS HOW DO YOU WANT THE ADJUDICATION OF THIS TO. GO FORWARD.
WELL, DID DID DID WE NOT HAVE A SUBCOMMITTEE OR AN AD HOC COMMITTEE FOR THREE OF THE
[00:10:03]
BOXES? I WASN'T AND THAT HAPPENS.I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU GUYS DID.
MAYBE I'M WRONG. BUT I THINK I THINK I THINK THAT'S THAT'S THAT'S A PERFECT SOLUTION.
THE COMMITTEE CAN ME MAKE THE CHOICES AND THE REST OF THE COMMISSION WILL TRUST THEIR JUDGMENT.
AND IT CAN BE YOU KNOW, IT'S AN ONGOING ROLLING THING.
INSTEAD OF HAVING WE ONLY MEET ONCE A MONTH, BUT THE AD HOC PEOPLE CAN MEET WHENEVER THEY NEED TO MAKE SURE IT MAKES LIFE A LOT EASIER.
AND IT'S UNFORTUNATE THAT THIS YOU KNOW, YOU WERE PUT IN A VERY, VERY PRECARIOUS SITUATION BECAUSE OF A CITY MANAGER.
FORGOT ABOUT BEING A PROFESSIONAL.
SO I THINK AN AD HOC COMMITTEE WOULD WORK WELL, JUST CHECK.
YES, WE DID HAVE AN AD HOC COMMITTEE.
WE EVEN APPROVED SOME BOXES ALONG MYLES AVENUE SEVERAL YEARS AGO AND SEVERAL STAFF MEMBERS AGO, AND NONE OF WHICH HAVE BEEN WORKED ON OR COMPLETED.
I DON'T KNOW WHATEVER BECAME OF THE DISPOSITION OF THOSE BOXES FROM AN OLD RFP, BUT WE HAVE HAD AN AD HOC BEFORE, SO I CAN.
I THINK THE QUESTION WITH THE AD HOC IS, BECAUSE I REMEMBER WHEN I FIRST JOINED THE COMMISSION, WE DID IT WAS A SUBCOMMITTEE, WE CALLED IT FOR THE TRAFFIC SINGLE BOXES.
BUT NOW WE KNOW THE RULES ON SUBCOMMITTEES VERSUS AD HOC COMMITTEE.
SO I LOVE THE IDEA OF AN AD HOC COMMITTEE BECAUSE IT SEEMS THE MOST EFFICIENT.
BUT I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE RULES ARE AS FAR AS LIKE I BELIEVE THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO COME TOGETHER, DO THE THING AND THEN DISBAND.
SO I DON'T KNOW HOW WE COULD DO THAT.
SO THAT WAY IT CONTINUES TO BE ONGOING.
THAT MAKES SENSE. I REMEMBER THAT YOU'RE RIGHT.
WE WE DID DO THAT WITH YOU AND VANESSA AND WE WERE SORT OF REEVALUATING THE CURRENT STATE OF THE CURRENT BOXES.
WE'RE LOOKING AT LOCATIONS WHICH IS PLANNING TO DETERMINE SOME NEW LOCATIONS.
ABOUT WHAT WE SHOULD DO, AND I MEAN AND I THINK I THINK THAT MANDATE REMAINS THE SAME IN A CERTAIN SENSE, BUT OF COURSE, WE'RE NOT DOING SUBCOMMITTEES ANYMORE.
SO, YOU KNOW, AD HOC SUBCOMMITTEE, YOU KNOW, WE KNOW THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE AND WE KNOW THE RULES, BUT THEY GOING SAY SO.
SO BUT BUT RIGHT NOW, I THINK THE CONCERN IS THAT THE EXISTING BOXES, MOST OF THEM ARE FADED AND A COUPLE OF THEM THAT HAVE SOME OK, BUT THEY THEY ALL NEED TO BE REPLACED.
SO BEFORE WE ARE ABLE TO EXPAND, LIKE WHAT WE WERE TALKING ABOUT IN THAT AD HOC SUBCOMMITTEE, WE WOULD JUST NEED TO REPLACE WHAT'S WHAT'S EXISTING.
AND THEN FROM THERE LOOK TO SEE WHAT WHAT OTHER AREAS COULD BENEFIT FROM BEING A PART OF THE PROGRAM. AND I APOLOGIZE FOR INTERJECTING, BUT TECHNICALLY, AD HOC COMMITTEES DON'T HAVE AUTHORITY TO MAKE DECISIONS INDEPENDENT OF THE ENTIRE COMMISSION.
AND OUR COMMITTEE COULD REVIEW AND AND THEN COME BACK AND REPORT.
AND THE COMMISSION WAS IN AGREEMENT TO HELP EXPEDITE THINGS, BUT THEY CAN'T INDEPENDENTLY MAKE DECISIONS AWAY FROM THE REST OF THE COMMITTEE.
COMMISSION MEMBER. EXCUSE ME. THAT WE UNDERSTAND THAT, KEVIN, AND WE'VE ALWAYS DONE THIS AD HOC COMMITTEE HAS MADE RECOMMENDATIONS TO THE COMMISSION, RIGHT? YOU'RE PROBABLY RIGHT ABOUT. SO THIS ATTACK, WHICH HAS BEEN WORKING TO NARROW DOWN THIS SEASON OR THE CONDITIONS THEN? YEAH, WELL, THAT SOUNDS GOOD TO ME, LIKE HAVING HAVING AN AD HOC COMMITTEE TO DO THAT SPECIFICALLY. I KNOW VANESSA AND I WERE ORIGINALLY ON THE SUBCOMMITTEE TWO YEARS AGO OR TWO AND HALF YEARS AGO. SO I DON'T KNOW IF WE WANT TO JUST START FROM SCRATCH AND SEE IF ANYONE ELSE IS DYING TO BE A PART OF IT, OR DO YOU WANT US TO CONTINUE ON IT BEFORE BEFORE WE MAKE THIS? BEFORE WE TALK ABOUT THAT, I JUST WANTED TO BRING UP THE FACT THAT BECAUSE YOU GUYS ARE SO SENSITIVE IN THE COMMUNITY AND YOU'RE OBVIOUSLY GOING TO BE CONNECTED WITH A LOT OF PEOPLE IN THE COMMUNITY. SO I AM GOING TO THE METHOD IN WHICH THE AD HOC COMMITTEE WOULD RECEIVE THIS WOULD BE BLIND.
SO THE NAMES AND THE IDENTIFIERS SHOULD MOVE FROM THE ARTWORK SO THAT, YOU KNOW, IT KIND OF CREATES A BIT MORE OF AN EVEN PLAYING FIELD FOR THOSE WHO ARE CONNECTED TO A LOT OF ARTISTS OR SO ON AND SO FORTH.
SO I FEEL LIKE I'M AS AS YOU VOLUNTEER TO BE, TO PERFORM THIS FUNCTION, YOU MAY WANT TO THINK ABOUT WHETHER OR NOT YOU WOULD BE ABLE TO STORE THE PERFORMANCE IN AN OBJECTIVE
[00:15:04]
FASHION, DEPENDING ON YOUR CONNECTION TO THE ARTS COMMUNITY.I JUST WANT TO THROW IT OUT THERE.
BUT OF COURSE, IT WOULD BE BLIND, SO.
NO, THAT'S THAT'S A GREAT POINT.
SO DO WE WANT TO DECIDE WHO'S GOING TO BE ON THIS COMMITTEE AND THEN THEY CAN REVIEW THE STUFF BETWEEN OUR NEXT MEETING? WELL, I DO RECALL THAT AT THE LAST THE LAST CENTURY WE PUT TOGETHER AN AD HOC COMMITTEE COMMITTEE, AD HOC COMMITTEE, SORRY THAT IN TIME SAID THEY DIDN'T THERE WASN'T A VOTE REQUIRED, JUST CONSENSUS.
SO. I KNOW PEOPLE WOULD HAVE TO VOLUNTEER TO PARTICIPATE AND PEOPLE BE THE OTHER PARTICIPANTS OF THE COMMISSION AND HAVE TO SEE THAT SOUNDS GOOD.
SO IF THERE'S ANYONE WHO'D LIKE TO VOLUNTEER, I GUESS NOW WOULD BE A GOOD TIME.
YOU GUYS PROBABLY FORGOT I ACTUALLY VOLUNTEERED, I THINK THAT ONE OF THE VERY FIRST MEETINGS THAT THIS WAS TALKED ABOUT LIKE, OH, I'LL DO IT BECAUSE I WAS LIKE, OKAY, WELL, HOLD ON, LET'S WAIT, BECAUSE THERE'S STILL MORE STUFF.
SO WE HAVE ONE VOLUNTEER. THANK YOU.
BECAUSE I DON'T MIND CONTINUING EITHER SINCE I KIND OF HAVE SOME IDEA TO FROM WHAT WE'VE WORKED ON IN THE ONES THAT NEED A PLACE AND JUST HOW WE WERE TALKING ABOUT IT LAST TIME AS A COMMITTEE AND WHERE WE WANT TO SEE THE DIFFERENT BOXES IN MY COMMUNITY, EVEN JUST THE LOCATION AND PROXIMITY TO LIKE WALKABILITY OR PARTS.
I'M DOWN. OK, SO THAT'S COMMISSIONERS', CRUZ AND BASARA, DO WE HAVE A CONSENSUS OR DID ANY DOES ANYBODY ELSE WANT TO MAKE ARGUMENT TO BE PART OF THE AD HOC COMMITTEE OR NOT? AND HE HASN'T ANNOUNCED YET.
BUT IF SOMEBODY IS DYING TO BE ON IT AND I JUST WANTED TO SAY THAT, OK, I GOT IT.
IF THE IF THAT'S THE CASE, IF NOT, THEN I GUESS WE CAN JUST SAY IF WE HAVE A CONSENSUS FOR GOING FORWARD WITH OUR TWO COMMISSIONERS, IT'S FINE.
I'M COOL WITH IT, I'M COOL WITH THAT.
WELL, I GO OK TO CONSENSUS SO WE CAN DO ONCE I GET THE HOTEL UP AND GOING, I'M HOPING TO GET THAT DONE THIS WEEK OR NEXT WEEK.
ON THE SAME DAY, THE GUIDELINES THAT WERE APPROVED WOULD BE FORMALIZED AND PLACED ON THE WEBSITE AND WILL BE INCLUDED AS A LINK IN THE.
AND SO THAT WOULD BE PUBLICIZED AND WE HAVE BEEN WORKING WITH BROOKE AS DIRECTOR OF COMMUNICATIONS AND SHE IS GOING TO HELP ME TO PUT A PUT A CALL OUT AND A PRESS RELEASE.
I KNOW WE TALKED ABOUT THIS BEING CONFINED TO ARTISTS IN THE VALLEY, AND I KNOW WE WANTED TO PRIORITIZE IN THE ARTISTS, IF POSSIBLE.
AND SO ALL OF THOSE THINGS WOULD BE INCLUDED.
AND IT'S KIND OF WHAT WE APPROVED FOR IN THE PREVIOUS GUIDELINES.
SO I WILL SHARE THAT WITH THE STAFF AND THEN COME BACK TO YOU TO MAKE OUR SELECTIONS GREEN. THANK YOU, EVERYBODY.
ALL RIGHT, LET'S MOVE ON TO ITEM EIGHT POINT TO THE CONSERVATOR UPDATE.
[8.2 Conservator Update]
THE MATERIALS ARE SUBMITTED BY THE TO FINANCE FINAL CONSERVATION FIRMS AND REVIEWED AND ONE WAS SELECTED.THE CITY IS CURRENTLY INVOLVED IN CONTRACT NEGOTIATIONS AND EXPECTS TO HAVE AN EXECUTED CONTRACT THIS MONTH APRIL.
DEBORAH, DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING TO.
SO THAT THAT IS PRETTY MUCH WHERE WE ARE RIGHT NOW.
WE HAVE SETTLED ON A FIRM AND WE HAVEN'T WE HAVEN'T ANNOUNCED THE DOCUMENT YET, BUT I THINK WE'RE IN THE FINAL STAGES OF THE FINAL STAGES.
I THINK THEY JUST SENT ME THE FINAL DRAFT AND WOULD BE A MATTER IF, YOU KNOW, IF WE SIGN IT. I WOULD LIKE TO BE ABLE TO KIND OF LET THE OTHER THEM KNOW THAT THEY WEREN'T SELECTED ONCE WE'VE ENTERED AGREEMENT.
BUT I THINK THE DISCUSSION THAT WE HAD WAS VERY USEFUL AND IT SORT OF PAINTS A PICTURE AS TO THE CAPACITY THAT WE WILL NEED IN ORDER TO GET THE MURAL'S LOOKED AT.
AND I THINK THE FIRM THAT WE SELECT THAT THAT WOULD BRING THE CONTRACT NEGOTIATIONS WITH
[00:20:02]
US AT THIS MOMENT HAS THAT CAPACITY TO MOBILIZE PRETTY QUICKLY.AND I KNOW IT'S A HIGH PRIORITY FOR BOTH THE COUNCIL AND THE CITY LEADERSHIP.
SO THAT SHOULD BE HAPPENING FORTHWITH.
BUT WE HAVEN'T COMPLETELY SIGNED THE AGREEMENT YET.
SO I'M NOT SURE IF I WANT TO SAY SINCE IT'S ONE HUNDRED PERCENT, BECAUSE IF NOT, WE HAVE ANOTHER REALLY GREAT FIRM THAT WE WE CAN WORK WITH.
I DON'T KNOW, DOES ANYONE HAVE ANYTHING THEY'D LIKE TO ADD TO THAT, E.J.? NO, I'M GOOD FOR IT. OH, JUST LOOK LIKE YOU'RE UNMUTED.
SORRY, I HAD I'M ON SPEAKERPHONE AT WORK SO I CAN MUTE THE PHONE.
DOES ANYONE HAVE ANYTHING ELSE THEY WANT TO ADD TO THE CONSERVATOR? ITEM EIGHT POINT TO GO, LET'S MOVE ON TO EIGHT POINT THREE, THE COMMISSION WORK PLAN.
[8.3 Commission Work Plan]
IF YOU HAVE THE AGENDA UP ON YOUR COMPUTER, IT'S A LINK SO YOU CAN OPEN UP THE WORK PLAN RIGHT THERE. THIS IS ONGOING FROM WHAT WE'VE TALKED ABOUT BEFORE.AND NOW WE'RE BEING ASKED TO REVIEW AND DISCUSS THIS PROPOSED WORK PLAN.
SO I'M GOING TO TURN IT OVER TO DEBORAH.
BELIEVE IT OR NOT. SO I JUST WANTED TO SAY, BASED ON A LOT OF CONVERSATIONS I'VE HAD SINCE I'VE ARRIVED, I KNOW THAT THERE IS COMMISSION WORK AND STAFF WORK.
AND I THINK IN THE PAST, WHEN I LOOKED I THINK THERE WAS ONE PLAN THAT I HAD THAT I FOUND IN THE ARCHIVES FROM I THINK 20, 16 AND 15.
AND IT'S SORT OF IT INCLUDED A LOT OF STAFF RESPONSIBILITIES WITHIN THAT WORK PLAN.
AND BECAUSE WE WERE REALLY TRYING TO SEPARATE WHAT WHAT IS STAFF RESPONSIBILITY SOMEWHAT IS COMMISSION RESPONSIBILITIES, I REALLY TRY TO DRAW OUT THOSE ELEMENTS THAT WOULDN'T BE A PART OF COMMISSION WORK AND USING THE STRATEGIC PLAN AND THE THINGS THAT WE DECIDED WERE IMPORTANT AND RELEVANT, I TRIED TO INCLUDE THOSE ELEMENTS, AS YOU COULD SEE, IN THE TOP OF THE OF EACH OF THE TABLES, WHAT THOSE ELEMENTS WERE AND HOW THEY CAN BE OPERATIONALIZED. AND, YOU KNOW, I DIDN'T GET TOO GRANULAR ABOUT WHAT EAT.
BUT IN TERMS OF QUARTERS, FACED WITH THE SECOND QUARTER, THIRD QUARTER, FOURTH QUARTER, WHEN THEY CAN BE DONE, OF COURSE.
SEPARATELY, I WILL HAVE TO PROVIDE WITH MY PLAN IS TO MY DIRECTOR AND I'M THE CITY MANAGER, WHICH IS NOT INCLUDED HERE, BUT SOME ELEMENTS OF WHAT I WILL HAVE TO TAKE ON AS RESPONSIBILITIES ARE ALLUDED TO IN THE FIRST IN THE FIRST TABLE.
AND SO I ALSO SORT OF LOOKED AT THE SORT OF FORMAT OF THE OF THE OTHER WORK PLAN, AND IT REALLY STROVE TO DEFINE WHAT WHAT WHAT THE COMMISSION WAS DESCRIBED AS PUBLIC AS.
IT DESCRIBED HISTORIC PRESERVATION.
AND SO HERE I WAS KIND OF AGAIN LOOKING AT WHAT EMERGED FROM OUR YEARLONG STRATEGIC PLAN AND SOME OF THE RECOMMENDATIONS THAT ARE IN THERE TO TALK MORE ABOUT, NOT MORE.
BUT LET'S SPEAK TO CULTURAL AFFAIRS AND.
OUR OUR MAIN RESPONSIBILITY TO FOSTERING COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT AROUND THE ARTS AND I THINK AS STEWARDS OF THE ARTS AND REPRESENTATIVES ON THIS COMMISSION, THAT THAT WORK NEEDS DOING HERE AS WELL AND CAN BE SUPPORTED IN THIS ENVIRONMENT.
SO I TOOK A STAB AT SORT OF CREATING THIS DEFINITIONS AND PLACING THAT IN THERE AND HOPEFULLY MAYBE HAVING A CONVERSATION WITH OUR GOVERNING BODY AND CITY LEADERSHIP ABOUT CREATING THIS THIS MONIKER, THIS TITLE THAT COULD BE REPRESENTATIVE OF THE WORK THAT WE'RE HOPING TO DO MOVING FORWARD.
SO, AGAIN, THIS IS A WORKING DRAFT.
I'M DEFINITELY HERE FOR YOUR INPUT AND FEEDBACK.
AND ACTUALLY, YOU GUYS, BECAUSE I'M LOOKING AT THE DOCUMENTS TO SORT OF MAKE EDITS, CHANGES, INCLUSIONS, EXCLUSIONS BASED ON WHAT YOU GUYS FEEL YOUR YOUR ROLE AND RESPONSIBILITY IS AND IF IT IS REFLECTIVE IN WHAT IS WRITTEN THERE.
THANK YOU. SO DOES ANYBODY HAVE ANYTHING THEY WANT TO BRING UP, POINT OUT, POSSIBLY HAVE REVISED CLARIFY IN OUR WORKPLAN?
[00:25:09]
IF NOT, THAT'S.GREAT. I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE NEXT STEP WAS, I GUESS WE WOULD HAVE TO APPROVE IT, BUT IT WOULD PROBABLY HAVE TO BE AN ACTION ITEM ON AN AGENDA TO DO THAT.
WELL, NOT AS LONG AS LONG AS AS FAR AS WE KNOW THAT IF WE IF WE REALLY SIT DOWN AND CONCENTRATE ON IT AND SEE THINGS THAT WE'D LIKE TO EITHER CHANGE OR DISCUSS WITH DEBORAH, THAT SHE IS AVAILABLE TO DO THAT, THAT THAT'S THAT'S THAT'S FINE.
YEAH. SO THAT CITY MANAGER IS INTERESTED IN FINDING OUT WHAT THE COMMISSION'S WORK PLAN'S GOING TO BE AND SO.
I'M GOING TO SORT OF SHARE IT WITH HIM, BECAUSE I KNOW WE WOULD HAVE IT'S NOT AN ACTION ITEM. UNFORTUNATE BECAUSE I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO HAVE ALL OF THESE NUTS.
I DIDN'T MAKE IT AN ACTION ITEM.
I THOUGHT MAYBE WE SHOULD WORK THROUGH IT.
BUT ON OUR NEXT MEETING, WE CAN.
PLACED IT ON THEIR SERVER, YOU KNOW, UP OR DOWN AND AND KIND OF MADE THE RECOMMENDATION GOING ON TO COUNCIL TO IMPROVE.
SO I'LL JUMP IN THIS PROCESS ONCE AGAIN, THE COMMISSION CAN EXPRESS CONSENSUS AT THIS TIME, SO YOU THAT WOULD GIVE DEBORAH THE INDICATION THAT YOU'RE GENERALLY SUPPORTIVE AS PRESENTED IF YOU WANTED TO.
IT'S JUST ALL THE BASICALLY THE PROVERBIAL NODDING OF THE HEADS.
AND THEN IF YOU WANT TO TAKE FORMAL ACTION, AS DEBORAH DESCRIBED, YOU COULD JEOPARDIZE IT AT YOUR NEXT MEETING. OK, THAT'S GOOD.
THANK YOU FOR THAT CLARIFICATION, DO WE THEN, I GUESS, HAVE A CONSENSUS ON THIS? LOOKS PRETTY GOOD AND.
YOU CAN KIND OF MOVE FORWARD AS IS.
I JUST HAD I JUST HAD ONE QUESTION ABOUT FORMAT, AND IT MAYBE WOULD HELP SOME UNDERSTANDING. SO WE HAVE THE EIGHT GOALS, WHICH ARE PRETTY WELL SPELLED OUT WITH WITH TIMELINES, EVERYTHING BUT FLOATING ABOVE THAT IS THE VALUE FOR BEST PRACTICES, WHICH ISN'T REFERENCED ANYWHERE AHEAD IN THE WORKING DRAFT.
AND I'M JUST MAYBE A TO SOME SORT OF EXPLANATION OF WHY THAT'S JUST INSERTED THERE, BECAUSE IT DOESN'T NECESSARILY HAVE GOALS OR TIMELINES OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT.
IT JUST IT HAS A FEW ITEMS THAT AREN'T REFERENCED IN THE GOALS EITHER.
SO I KNOW THAT BEST PRACTICE IS ONE OF THE VALUES, ONE OF THE FOUR VALUES, AND THEN SO THE OTHER THEM THAT.
OK, SO IN THE EXECUTIVE SUMMARY DRAFT OF I THINK I CAN SHARE MY SCREEN IF THAT IF THAT'S GOING TO BE HELPFUL. PER MY UNDERSTANDING WITH THIS DECLINE, RIGHT, THE WORD YES TO THE STRATEGIC PLAN THEN REFERENCES A STRATEGIC PLAN.
HERE WE HAVE THE VALUES WHICH ARE COMMUNITY OPPORTUNITY, REPRESENTATION AND BEST PRACTICES. AND THEN THE DERIVATIVE GOALS WERE THE AID THAT WERE LISTED IN THE DOCUMENT.
AND SO, I MEAN, THIS DOCUMENT ITSELF WAS AN EVOLUTION OF MANY OTHER FORMS, MUCH LONGER FORMS TO. SO IT MADE SENSE TO ME AS I WROTE IT.
BUT I CAN SEE WHAT YOU'RE SAYING, E.J., THAT IT DOESN'T FEEL COHESIVE WITH THE BIT ABOVE.
I COULD GO AHEAD AND INCLUDE THE.
THE FOUR VALUES IN THAT, YOU KNOW, IN THAT LIST OF THEIR FORBEARERS AND THEN THE EIGHT GOALS, OR I COULD RENAME THIS SECTION REFERENCING THE STRATEGIC PLAN AND.
THE PARTICULAR GOAL THIS IS TALKING ABOUT AND TO SORT OF GIVE A DIFFERENT HEADING HERE, JUST KIND OF LIKE STARFISH IS SOMETHING I KNOW MY MAJOR CONCERN.
[00:30:04]
I JUST DIDN'T REALIZE THAT IT WAS IT WAS REFERRING BACK TO SOMETHING ELSE.THAT'S FINE. SO I DON'T BECAUSE I DON'T HAVE THIS OTHER DOCUMENT MYSELF.
A LOT OF THIS. I CAN SEE WHY IT WOULDN'T BE IN FRONT OF YOU, BUT I CAN ALSO LINK THAT MIGHT BE A GOOD THING TO LENGTHY STRATEGIC PLAN SOMEWHERE IN HERE AS A REFERENCE POINT FOR THE WORKING DRAFT.
AND WE MENTIONED IT SOMEWHERE, SOME STRATEGIC PLANNING PROCESS THAT COULD BE LINK THAT PUT A HYPERLINK THERE THAT WILL TAKE PEOPLE TO THE FULL DOCUMENT OR THE EXECUTIVE SUMMARY SO THAT IT MAKES MORE SENSE.
DOES THAT FEEL LIKE A GOOD SOLUTION? YEAH, I THINK JUST SO LONG AS YOU'RE PRESENTING THIS TO CITY MANAGER AND COUNCILOR, WHOEVER, AND YOU SHOULD.
SO THAT WAY THEY KNOW THAT IT'S REFERENCING BACK TO SOMETHING ELSE, SOMETHING THAT I DIDN'T CATCH.
THANK YOU. IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE YOU WANT TO BRING UP OR POINT OUT ON THE THE WORKPLAN TODAY? IF NOT SO, DEBORAH, CAN YOU JUST CLARIFY THEN WHAT THE NEXT STEP IS WITH THE WORKPLAN NOW THAT WE HAVE OUR CONSENSUS? OK, SO THE NEXT STEP WOULD BE THAT FOR US AS A BODY IS THAT THE NEXT TIME WE MEET, WE WILL HAVE TO THIS WOULD BE AN ACTION ITEM TO APPROVE AND RECOMMEND THAT THIS MOVES FORWARD TO THE COUNCIL FOR FOR THEIR REVIEW AND APPROVAL.
SO WE CAN. START OPERATIONALIZING THESE.
I JUST I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE WE'RE ALL ON THE SAME PAGE AND KNEW WHAT WAS HAPPENING NEXT. GREAT.
IF THAT'S EVERYTHING, I'M SORRY, VANESSA, GO AHEAD.
YES, SO FROM TWO MEETINGS AGO, SO THIS WORK PLAN CAME FROM THE STRATEGIC PLAN, RIGHT? AND THEY HAD WANTED THIS. THEY HAD AND THE COUNCIL WANTS THIS WORK PLAN BEFORE THEY APPROVE THE STRATEGIC PLAN BECAUSE THEY NEED THEY ACCOMPANY ONE ANOTHER.
RIGHT. SO IF THEY'RE GOING TO APPROVE THIS WORK PLAN, ARE THEY THEN GOING TO BE IMPROVING OUR SECURITY PLAN TO CONTINUE OUR WORK WITH IT? THAT'S THAT'S INTERESTING QUESTION, BECAUSE I REMEMBER IN OUR JOINT MEETING, THEY I MEAN, THE JOINT MEETING WAS NOT AN OFFICIAL PROPOSAL OF THE STRATEGIC PLAN.
WE DISCUSSED IT, BUT IT WASN'T LIKE AN OFFICIAL RECOMMENDATION ON THEM APPROVING IT.
BUT I KNOW THAT THEY WANTED AN ASSOCIATED WORK PLAN.
SO, YES, I GUESS THAT MAKES SENSE, I GUESS.
WHAT IT'S GOING TO MEAN IS BECAUSE WE ALREADY WE ALREADY DID AN ACTION ITEMS INTO THAT FOR THE STRATEGIC PLAN TO BE SENT TO COUNCIL.
I BELIEVE THAT WE DID, AND SO THIS WILL BE THE ASSOCIATED PRESS, I GUESS, WHEN IT GOES TO COUNCIL TO BE THEM APPROVING, OFFICIALLY APPROVING BOTH THE PLAN AND THE PLAN.
I SEE. THANK YOU FOR BRINGING UP THAT POINT.
ALL RIGHTY THEN I THINK WE CAN MOVE ON TO, I REMEMBER, NINE, WHICH ARE COMMISSIONER
[9. COMMISSIONER ITEMS]
ITEMS. IF ANYONE HAS ANYTHING THEY WANT TO BRING UP, ANYTHING THEY WANT TO SHARE.NOT ALL AT ONCE. GO CHECK OUT THE NEW ART INSTALLATIONS, I'M GALLERY JANET.
THAT'S A GOOD ONE. I DID WANT TO POINT OUT I JUST ALWAYS HAD THIS QUESTION, DEBORAH AND I MEET ON THE LAST WEDNESDAY OF EACH MONTH TO GO OVER THE AGENDA AND EVERYTHING FOR THE NEXT MEETING OR TO SET THE AGENDA FOR THE MEETING.
AND I JUST WANTED TO JUST REMIND AND INVITE ANYONE IF THEY HAVE ANYTHING THEY WANT TO HAVE. IS AN OFFICIAL ITEM ON THE AGENDA TO SEND THAT TO DIRECTLY TO YOU, DEBORAH, RIGHT BEFORE THE LAST WEDNESDAY OF THE MONTH.
I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE. AND SO ONCE WE GET IT BEFORE WE SET TO SET THE AGENDA, SEE IF YOU CAN SEND IT BY NOON ON THAT WEDNESDAY.
SO THERE'S SOMETHING LIKE A YOU KNOW, SOMETHING THAT YOU REALLY WANT TO MAKE SURE IS BROUGHT UP THAT WE HAVEN'T BEEN GETTING TOO, OR THAT IT'S A NEW THING YOU WANT TO BRING UP, THAT'S THE TIME TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU HAVE THAT OPPORTUNITY.
SO I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE EVERYBODY KNEW ABOUT THAT.
[00:35:03]
ALL RIGHTY, THEN, I GUESS WE CAN MOVE ON TO ADJOURNMENT.IS THERE A MOTION TO ADJOURN TODAY'S MEETING DIRECTOR ITEM? OH, THAT. OH YEAH.
I THINK YOU ALL EITHER HAVE RECEIVED OR WILL RECEIVE AN INVITATION TO OUR VIRTUAL COMMUNITY WORKSHOP FOR OUR HOUSING ON AN UPDATE.
OH, IT'S NOT RELATED TO THE WORK THAT YOU DO AS A COMMISSION MEMBER.
AND AS COMMUNITY MEMBERS WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU IF YOU HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO ATTEND AND GIVE INPUT, WOULD APPRECIATE THAT.
IN ADDITION TO YOURSELVES, WE SEND IT TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION, WE SEND IT TO ALL THE OTHER COMMISSIONERS JUST SO THAT THEY'RE AWARE OF THIS IMPORTANT TOPIC AND ARE GETTING INPUT ON A ON A ON A TOPIC THAT WE HOPE TO HEAR FROM AS MANY PEOPLE AS POSSIBLE.
NOW, MOVING ON TO ITEM NUMBER TEN, IS THERE A MOTION TO ADJOURN TODAY'S MEETING? A MOTION TO ADJOURN TODAY'S MEETING AT SIX AND SIX AND A SECOND OF SECOND, ALL SET TO ADJOURN.
A PERCENT BACK. YES, VICE CHAIR PERSON SHAMSKY, YES, MISSIONER NEUMEYER.
YES, COMMISSIONER CRUSON, THE U.S.
YES, MOTION CARRIES FIVE ZERO.
THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT, TODAY'S MEETING IS ADJOURNED.
THANK YOU, EVERYBODY. I HOPE YOU HAVE A GREAT, HAPPY, HEALTHY MONTH AND GOOD LUCK TO THE AD HOC COMMITTEE.
