PLEASE REVEAL YOUR MEETING MINUTES AND PLEASE MAKE ANY CORRECTION AND THE RECOMMENDATION.
IF YOU SEE IN THE ERROR, I SEE ONE FOR THE MINUTES, ITEM NUMBER TWO APPROVAL OF MINUTES.
IT SHOULD SAY MARCH THE 17TH, INSTEAD OF JANUARY 20TH, I WOULDN'T HAVE THE MARCH MEETING WE DID HAVE IN FEBRUARY.
WE HAD THE MARCH, BUT WE DID SOMETHING ON TONIGHT'S AGENDA TO APPROVE THE MINUTES FROM LAST TIME.
THIS IS THE MINUTES FROM LAST TIME WHERE WE APPROVED JANUARY'S MINT.
YOU SEE WHAT I'M SAYING? THESE ARE THE MINUTES FROM THE MARCH MEETING.
AND SO ON OUR AGENDA TONIGHT, WE'RE APPROVING THOSE.
I HAVE A QUORUM IN FEBRUARY, SO YEAH.

AND I ALSO WANTED TO RECOGNIZE THAT MS. GWEN DANIELS IS IN THE AUDIENCE TODAY AND SHE IS ON THE COMMUNITY COMMITTEE THAT IS DRIVING, UM, HOW THIS PARTICULAR CELEBRATION IS GOING TO LOOK AND FEEL FOR OUR COMMUNITY.
AND I JUST WANTED TO GIVE A LITTLE BIT OF BACKGROUND IN CASE YOU, UM, DON'T REMEMBER, BUT, UH, THIS WAS BROUGHT FORWARD FOR COUNCIL TO ASK THE CITY TO PRODUCE THIS PARTICULAR EVENT, BUT TO INVESTIGATE AND MAKE SURE THAT IT WAS SOMETHING THAT THE COMMUNITY WOULD LIKE.
SO WE WENT DOWN THAT PATH AND STARTED WITH A SURVEY THAT WENT OUT TO THE COMMUNITY AND WE HAD A VERY, VERY GREAT RESPONSE AND, UM, INCLUDED IN THAT SURVEY WAS QUESTIONS ON WHAT THEY WOULD LIKE TO SEE AND DO FOR THAT PARTICULAR CELEBRATION.
SO WE USED THAT AS OUR GUIDING, UM, FORMAT FOR WHAT WILL HAPPEN ON JUNE 19TH.

AND, UM, YOU GUYS CAN HELP US SPREAD THE WORD BECAUSE WE'RE GONNA WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT EVERYBODY KNOWS ABOUT IT.
SO LET ME JUST TELL YOU A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE DAY'S EVENTS IT'S PLANNED
[00:05:01]
FOR AUDUBON PARK ON SUNDAY, JUNE 19TH, WHICH JUST HAPPENS TO BE FATHER'S DAY.SO IT'S A GREAT DAY TO CELEBRATE.
UM, IT'LL BE FROM TWO TO 5:00 PM.
UM, WE HAVE SEVERAL DIFFERENT, UH, ACTIVITIES LINED UP FOR THE DAY.
UH, WE DO HAVE A SPEAKER, UM, THAT IS GOING TO FOCUS ON THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THE CELEBRATION.
UH, WE HAVE LIVE MUSIC FROM THE BEST OR BROWN BAND.
THAT'S ENGAGING THE GIS D STUDENT POPULATION THAT WILL BE AWARDED, UM, ON STAGE FROM THAT PARTICULAR, UM, ESSAY CONTEST.
UM, THE, UM, GRANDMOTHER OF JUNETEENTH, MISS OPRAH LEE JUST, UH, WROTE A NEW CHILDREN'S BOOK.
AND SO WE'RE VERY PLEASED TO HAVE MS. DANIELS READ AN EXCERPT OR PROBABLY THE ENTIRE BOOK, BECAUSE IT'S QUITE SHORT, UM, TO THE AUDIENCE WE'VE GOT FOOD TRACKS AND A CHILDREN'S AREA AND PICNIC TABLES AND, UH, JUST A DAY OF FESTIVITIES, UM, FOR THE COMMUNITY TO ENJOY.
OOPS, WHY DID I DO THAT? AND I WASN'T KIDDING.
WHEN I SAID THIS WAS A VERY SHORT PRESENTATION.
UM, IT'S REALLY A FAMILY FRIENDLY EVENT.
IT'S REALLY FOR OUR OWN GARLAND CITIZENS.
OF COURSE WE WOULD WELCOME ANYBODY FROM OUTSIDE OF GARLAND TO ATTEND, BUT IT'S REALLY FOCUSED FOR OUR OWN, UM, FOR OUR OWN COMMUNITY.
UM, JUST A BRING YOUR PICNIC BLANKET, YOUR, YOU KNOW, YOUR LAWN CHAIRS AND ENJOY THE FESTIVITIES.
UM, WE DO HAVE A FEW, UH, VENDORS THAT WE'RE EXPECTING, UM, THE MUSEUM IS BRINGING OUT IN EXHIBIT.
UM, SO JUST A REALLY, REALLY, UM, BRING THE COMMUNITY TOGETHER TYPE OF AN EVENT.
SO, UH, IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, I BET YOU EITHER MS. DANIELS OR MYSELF, WE'LL BE GLAD TO ANSWER THOSE FOR YOU.
UM, MAY I, GLENN, WOULD YOU LIKE TO SIT AND TAKE A SEAT UP HERE SO EVERYONE CAN SEE YOU? I KNOW WHO YOU ARE.
WE LOVE TO FALL FOR YOU TO TAKE A SEAT RIGHT NEXT TO MS. LARD AND THE QUESTION N A COMMISSION MEMBER.
UM, HOW WOULD YOU LIKE US TO BE INVOLVED? IS THERE ANYTHING YOU'D LIKE US TO DO? DO YOU NEED VOLUNTEERS? I WOULD THINK WE NEED LOADS OF VOLUNTEERS, ESPECIALLY THAT DAY, BUT PRIOR TO THE DATE, WE NEED EVERYONE TO HELP GET THE WORD OUT.
SO ONCE THE FLYER IS DISTRIBUTED, WE NEED TO PUT IT ON YOUR SOCIAL PAGES.
WE NEED YOU TO SEND IT OUT IN YOUR EMAIL LIST, JUST WHATEVER TO HELP GET THE WORD OUT.
MS. DANIELS, I HAVE JUST A QUICK QUESTION.
THAT MAY BE A MORE OF A STEERING COMMITTEE QUESTION.
IF I AM AS A, BY SOMEONE I SEND THE INFORMATION OUT TO, WILL THERE BE SOME SORT OF SECURITY OUT THERE? YES, YES.
UH, WE HAVE REGULAR MEETINGS, UH, WITH THE GARLAND PD FOR ALL SPECIAL EVENTS AND THEY ALREADY HAVE THIS ON THEIR CALENDAR.
WHAT ELSE WE CAN DO TO HELP YOU? YOU KNOW, THE VOLUNTEER QUESTION IS REALLY A WONDERFUL ONE AND IT'S ONE THAT I'M GOING TO BRING FORWARD TO THE COMMITTEE WHEN WE MEET WEEK.
AND, UM, I'LL CIRCLE BACK AROUND WITH MAYBE SOME TIMEFRAMES THAT PEOPLE CAN SIGN UP FOR TO HELP ON THAT PARTICULAR DAY.
UH, I, I, WE, YES, WE DEFINITELY NEED THAT.
AND A CONTACT NAME FOR THE PERSON THAT WILL BE IN CHARGE IF YOU WANT TO SPEAK, UH, IF YOU WANT TO VOLUNTEER.
ME TO PASS THINGS OUT TO THEM AND THEY WANT TO COME BACK AND RESPOND.
WE'LL MAKE SURE THAT RENEE GETS THAT INFORMATION.
WILL THERE BE ANY CITY INFORMATION BOOTHS? UH, THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT IS GOING TO HAVE A BOOTH.
THE LIBRARY'S GOING TO HAVE A BOOTH AT THE MUSEUM AND VISIT GARLAND.
THE REASON I, I HAD SUGGESTED THE FIRE CLUB, HALF INFORMATION, UM, UH, THE CLASSES THAT THEY CAN TAKE FOR FREE, UH, BECAUSE I, IN, IN THE ORGANIZATION, WE'VE GOT LIKE, YOU KNOW, MAYBE 40, UM, MEMBERS, ONLY ONE THAT'S AFRICAN-AMERICAN AND
[00:10:01]
THEY DON'T HAVE TO BELONG TO THE COMMITTEE, BUT THEY CAN TAKE THE CLASS FOR FREE.AND IT GIVES THEM A CHANCE TO LEARN WHAT THEY SHOULD DO IN CASE OF A FIRE.
YOU KNOW, WHAT THE FIREMEN DO, THAT KIND OF STUFF.
I'M UNFORTUNATELY I WON'T, I'LL BE OUT OF TOWN.
BUT, UM, BUT ANYTHING THAT I SUGGESTED THAT, YOU KNOW, UH, BECAUSE I FELT LIKE THE MORE INFORMATION PEOPLE HAVE ON SOMETHING LIKE THIS, BUT I WAS TOLD, OH, NO, IT'S NOT, WE'RE NOT GOING TO HAVE SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
LET ME CIRCLE BACK AROUND, BUT, UM, WITH RENEE AND GET YOU THAT ANSWER.
BUT, UM, CAN YOU TELL ME EXACTLY WHO THE COMMITTEE IS THAT YOUR IT'S ESSENTIAL FIREFIGHTERS CLUB? CITIZENS.
LET ME, LET ME CIRCLE BACK AROUND HERE IS THE PRECEDENT.
UM, I TWO THINGS, I'M WONDERING IF THERE'S SOMEONE FROM THE MULTICULTURAL COMMITTEE, A COMMITTEE THAT COULD ATTEND OUR MEETING THURSDAY AT NOON NEXT WEEK, VIRTUAL IT'S ZOOM.
IF SO, THAT WOULD BE EXCELLENT.
IF YOU COULD JUST CHIME IN, YOU KNOW, AND LISTEN, YOU, YOU WOULD LEARN A LOT ABOUT HOW WE'RE TRYING TO GET IT COHESIVE, JUST JAIL, THE REST OF IT TOGETHER.
WHAT I WAS WONDERING WITH REGARD TO THE FIRE DEPARTMENT IS IF IN PARTICULAR, THEY COULD BRING SOMEONE OUT TO TALK ABOUT THOSE LOCKBOXES FOR CITY SENIORS.
IT'S GOING TO BE, THIS HAS, THIS IS A, UH, HISTORICAL, UM, TYPE OF CELEBRATION.
AND IF THERE WOULD BE PLENTY OF CITIZENS, UH, SENIOR CITIZENS OUT THERE AND LOCKED BOX PROGRAM THAT GARLAND HAS IS JUST SUBURB.
AND IT WOULD BE GREAT TO PUT THE WORD OUT ABOUT IT.
UM, CAN WE GET THE INFORMATION FROM RENEE AS TO THE ZOO? YOU'RE RIGHT.
IT IS THE POLICE, BUT IT'S THE FIRE DEPARTMENT THAT I'VE SEEN A LOT OF TIMES THEY'D HAVE TO COME OUT AND EXPLAIN THAT SITUATION TO THEM.
I, I THINK IT'S LIKE MORE OR LESS DOING 9 1, 1 CALLS.
THAT'S SOMETHING WHERE SOMEONE HAS HAD A MEDICAL SITUATION AND NOT JUST AN EMS, BUT A FIRE UNIT COMES OUT.
THE FIRE COMES OUT, BUT THE POLICE HAVE THE KEY TO IT.
THEY HAVE THE POLICE ANSWERED THE KEY TO OPEN THAT LOCK BOX INSTEAD OF BREAKING IN YOUR WINDOWS.
ALTHOUGH ARE YOUR DOORS, THEY ALSO INSTALL IT.
THE POLICE DEPARTMENT INSTALLS IT.
THAT'S A GOOD PROGRAM THAT WE'VE BEEN ALL THESE YEARS.
WE HAVE BEEN BRINGING THAT UP.
I'LL MAKE SURE YOU GUYS GET THE LINK FOR THE ZOOM.
AND THEN THAT WAY, IF YOU HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY YOU CAN ZOOM IN.
I'LL MAKE SURE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS.
WELL, I CAN TELL YOU, WE'RE REALLY LUCKY TO HAVE MS. DANIELS ON THE COMMITTEE.
UM, SO, AND I THINK THAT THE PROCESS THAT WE'VE GONE THROUGH HAS BEEN FABULOUS AND IT'S MOVING RIGHT ALONG.
SO SUPER, SUPER COOL QUESTIONS FROM THE COMMISSION.
I HAVE ONE YOU'RE ASKING ABOUT, UM, YOU SAID YOUR LB WANTS TO LIKE KIND OF A BOOTH FOR THE CITIZENS FIRE CLUB.
ARE THERE ANY OTHER CITY? I MEAN, LIKE YOU SAID, THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT, ANYBODY ELSE GOING TO SPEAK, I MEAN, GOING TO BE OUT THERE, DIFFERENT DEPARTMENTS OF THE CITY, AS FAR AS HAVING BOOTHS THAT'S, WHO'S SIGNED UP RIGHT NOW.
UM, I MEAN, THE MAYOR IS SPEAKING.
I MEAN, SO WE DO HAVE OTHER PEOPLE SPEAKING, BUT AS FAR AS BOOTHS, THE ONES I MENTIONED ARE WHO HAVE THOSE SO FAR, I MAKE CONTACT WITH HIM.
CAUSE I KNOW THE FIRE DEPARTMENTS TAKING APPLICATIONS STARTING JUNE 24TH.
AND THAT WOULD BE A PERFECT TIME FOR THEM TO BE OUT THERE ANYWAY, WITH THE CITIZENS FIRE CLUB TO LET PEOPLE KNOW ABOUT FIRE.
I THINK IT'S ABOUT 2% MINORITY, AT LEAST THAT'S ALL IT'S EVER BEEN OUT OF 250 FIREFIGHTERS.
THERE'S PROBABLY ABOUT SIX OR SEVEN AFRICAN-AMERICANS IN GARLAND.
SO WE NEED TO GET WITH THE CHIEF AND ON THAT WE COULD CERTAINLY MAKE THAT WORK ON OUR END.
YOU KNOW, THERE'S PLENTY OF ROOM.
WE MOVE ON TO ITEM B STAFF REPORT, JUST A QUICK REPORT.
I DID GET THE NEW BANNER WITH A NEW LOGO ORDERED, SO WE'LL BE READY IF WE WANTED TO USE IT FOR JUNETEENTH, WANT IT TO HAVE SOME PRESENCE THERE, THEN YOU COULD, WE COULD WORK WITH DANA ABOUT THAT, BUT I'VE GOT THE BANNER ORDER WITH NEW LOGO.
[00:15:01]
AND THEN, UM, WE GOT THE INFORMATION FOR SECCHI FEST IN OCTOBER.AND I KNOW THAT SEEMS LIKE IT'S A WAYS OUT, BUT PROBABLY SOMETHING YOU GUYS MAY WANT TO TALK ABOUT TONIGHT.
THE SAFETY FEST HAS ALWAYS BEEN SOMETHING THIS COMMISSION'S PARTICIPATED IN AND MAYBE JENNIFER CAN EXPLAIN WHAT IT IS, RIGHT? UM, THAT'S ALL I HAVE.
I BELIEVE THAT RIGHT NOW WE SHOULD BE TALKING ABOUT JUNETEENTH CELEBRATION AND WE NEED TO MAKE SURE THE COMMISSION UNDERSTAND OUR ROLE AND OUR RESPONSIBILITY FIT RIGHT IN WITH OUR MISSION STATEMENT.
SO CMC BOARD MEMBER PRESENCE WILL BE A GREAT AUDIO FOR THAT DAY.
SO I WOULD FOR ALL THE COMMISSION MORE MEMBER TO MAKE A RECOMMENDATION.
AND IF WE CAN VOTE, IF WE SUPPORT AIR, WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A BOOTH.
WHAT ELSE WE CAN DO? HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE AVAILABLE TO ATTEND ON THAT DAY? SOMETIME THAT IS SO DIFFICULT FOR ALL OF US TO BE ON ONE PLACE AT THE SAME TIME.
SO THREE, FOUR, SOMETIMES A YEAR I HAVE PICTURE, I CAN SHOW YOU RIGHT NOW THAT IN THE PAST ONLY TWO MEMBERS, 2019 ONLY, ONLY ME IN THE END.
AND THEN CHARLIE WILL COME IN LATER ON 2018.
LET'S SEE, WE DON'T NEED A WAY FOR TOIL MEMBERS TO BE TOGETHER AT ONE EVENT WHOM EVER CAN MAKE IT.
SO I WOULD LIKE FOR ALL OF YOU TO THINK ABOUT IT AND MAKE A MOTION, IF WE SHOW SUPPORT OR NOT FOR JUNE 10, FIRST, ME TO ME, MY PERSONAL FEELING, THIS IS SOMETHING THAT YOU SEE, THEY HOUSED IT AND WE ARE CELEBRATING ANOTHER COMMUNITY IN OUR DIVERSE COMMUNITY.
SO WE SHOULD AND WISH WE MUST, IN MY PERSONAL OPINION, I WILL BE THERE.
WELL, I HAVE TO BE THERE STAFF ANYWAY.
SO IF I HAD TO DO THINGS FOR YOU GUYS, IT WOULD JUST, IT'D BE EASY FOR ME CAUSE I HAVE TO BE THERE ANYWAY.
SO WE NEED TO MAKE A MOTION IF WE SUPPORT THIS JUNE 10 OR PARTICIPATION AS WELL.
SO SOMEONE PLEASE MAKE A MOTION.
I MAKE THE MOTION THAT WE SUPPORT THE JUNETEENTH EVENT ON JUNETEENTH DAY.
I THINK WE SHOULD WAIT UNTIL WE FIND OUT MORE ABOUT, UM, WHAT VOLUNTEER NEEDS THAT THEY NEED.
UM, I THINK IT WILL BE MORE PRODUCTIVE FOR US TO VOLUNTEER THAN TO HAVE A TENT THERE.
WE ARE VOTING FOR CMC TABLE REPRESENTING AGRA.
UM, I WOULD PREFER THAT WE VOLUNTEER INSTEAD OF HAVING YOUR TABLE.
THAT'S MY PERSONAL PREFERENCE THOUGH.
I THINK THAT LIKE, LIKE SHE SAID THAT LIKE US BEING THERE AS A SUPPORT VERSUS JUST GIVING OUR WORD OUT, IF WE HAVE OUR SHIRTS AND WHERE WE MAKE OUR SELVES KNOWN AS VOLUNTEERS, BUT AS MEMBERS OF THIS COMMISSION, WE'RE ABLE JUST TO BE ABLE TO HAVE OUR INDIVIDUAL SELVES AS REPRESENTATIONS OF THE CMC, VOLUNTEERING FOR JUNETEENTH VERSUS HAVING A TABLE AND BEING SET LIKE OF IT, BUT LIKE SEPARATE FROM IT.
IF THAT MAKES SENSE, THAT MAKES SENSE.
WE CAN HAVE A, BOTH LET PEOPLE LIKE MAY OR SOME OF THE SENIOR, WE CAN NOT WALK AROUND, VOLUNTEER FOR FOUR HOURS.
SO WE WILL STAND THERE AND GIVE OUR GIFT.
AND WE PROMOTE OUR CMC THAT I CAN DO THAT.
BUT VOLUNTEER, I DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH LONGER ONE HOUR OR TWO HOUR I CAN HANG AROUND.
YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? DUE TO HEALTH ISSUE.
SO WOULD YOU LIKE TO AMEND YOUR MOTION? UM, NO.
WAIT, MY MOTION WAS STILL VALID THOUGH.
IT WAS TO SUPPORT THE JUNETEENTH EVENT.
THAT'S WHY I SAID WE SHOULD WAIT TO SEE WHAT VOLUNTEER NEEDS THEY NEED.
THAT WAY WE COULD FIGURE OUT LIKE, IF THERE ARE, UM, VOLUNTEER DUTIES THAT ARE JUST SITTING OR SANDING SINCE WE DON'T KNOW YET.
UH, I, IT'S NOT, IT'S JUST A SUGGESTION.
UM, WHAT I SAW IN SOME EVENT, I THINK IT WAS SAFETY FEST.
WE WERE GIVING OUT LIKE FIVE OR SIX ITEMS. SO PEOPLE WOULD JUST COME IN TO GET THE ITEMS. THEY WEREN'T LOOKING AT WHO WE WERE OR WHAT WE WERE, THEY WEREN'T PICKING UP, YOU KNOW, WHERE INFORMATION IS TYPE STUFF.
UM, IF WE'RE GOING TO PASS OUT, I WOULD LIKE TO, TO LIMIT THAT TO ONE OR TWO ITEMS SO THAT WE DON'T HAVE EVERYBODY JUST COME IN JUST FOR THE STUFF AND WALKING OUT.
WE'D LIKE FOR THEM TO KNOW WHO WE ARE, WE'RE THERE, IF THEY NEED ANYTHING.
[00:20:01]
SUPPORT THEM, THEN THAT THAT'S GOING TO COVER WHETHER WE'RE SITTING OR HAVING A BOOTH, WE'LL DECIDE, LIKE SHE SAID, FIND OUT WHAT WE NEED, BUT THE NEED IS LATER, BUT JUST THE SUPPORT.WE'RE GOING TO SUPPORT IT IS GOING TO BE THERE IN SOME FORM.
LET ME MAKE SURE I UNDERSTAND YOU, EVERYONE.
SO WE STRUCK OFF THE MOTION THAT YOU MAY KNOW.
RIGHT? THE MOTION WAS TO SUPPORT JUNETEENTH AND BE THERE TO VOLUNTEER AND HAVE A BOOTH.
I FIGURE IT OUT THE DETAILS OF HOW THAT SUPPORT WILL LOOK LIKE.
SO NOW WE NEED TO VOTE ON THE MOTION.
ANY MORE QUESTION DISCUSSION? SO PLEASE.
WELL, I THANK YOU FOR THE SAFETY FIRST.
WE, SHOULD WE WAIT? SHOULD WE WAIT? OR SHOULD WE MAKE A MOTION NOW? I JUST WANT YOU GUYS TO BE AWARE THAT IT'S COMING, THAT THEY ARE GOING TO HAVE IT THIS YEAR.
SO I JUST WANTED IT TO BE ON YOUR MIND.
AND MAYBE WE COULD TALK ABOUT IT AFTER JUNETEENTH, BUT I JUST WANTED YOU TO KNOW THAT IT'S HAPPENING.
UH, PROBABLY PUT, START PUTTING IT ON THE CALENDAR IN JUNE, BUT UH, JUST WANTED YOU GUYS TO HAVE IT ON YOUR MIND AND KNOW THAT THE DATE IS OCTOBER 15TH.
YOU COULD GET IT ON YOUR CALENDARS.
THAT'S KIND OF WHAT I'M DOING.
EVERYBODY'S CALENDARS FILL UP SO QUICKLY THAT I WANT YOU GUYS TO AT LEAST HAVE IT PINPOINTED ON YOUR CALENDAR.
COULD SOMEBODY EXPLAIN SAFETY FEST TO ME? IT'S THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.
DOESN'T WE STARTED, I DON'T KNOW, MAYBE SEVEN, EIGHT YEARS AGO.
IT'S ALWAYS THE WEEKEND IN OCTOBER UP THE GREAT CHICAGO FIRE, YOU KNOW, SO THAT'S WHY IT SAID IT WAS HAPPENING OCTOBER THE NINTH.
BUT, UM, THE FIRE DEPARTMENT DOES A DEMONSTRATION OF, OF EVERYTHING THAT, THAT THEY DO.
IT'S UM, THERE'LL BE SOME, UH, I THINK A COUPLE OF TIMES THEY HAD PEOPLE GIVING VACCINES OUT THERE FOR KIDS AND STUFF LIKE THAT.
IT'S JUST, IT'S JUST ALL OVER, UM, SAFETY, FIRE SAFETY AT THE HOME.
SO THERE'LL BE SOMETHING FOR SENIORS, SOMETHING FOR KIDS, HOW TO GET OUT OF YOUR HOUSE.
I THINK HE'D DO A CAR FIRE DEMONSTRATION.
AND SHE'S, SHE'S PROBABLY A LITTLE LATER THAN I HAVE, BUT THEY DO.
IT'S ALL FIRE SAFETY RELATED TO SET THE FIRE ADMIN BUILDING.
UH, THE HELICOPTER MAY COME AND CARE FOR LIKE, YOU KNOW, THEY CUT UP A CAR AND DO A CAR FIRE, BUT IT'S, IT'S ALL SAFETY RELATED ISSUES WITH THE, UH, UH, THE FIRE DEPARTMENT AND EVEN, YOU KNOW, INFORMATION ON CALLING 9 1, 1, YOU KNOW WHAT TO DO AND DISCARDING MEDICINES.
I THINK THE POLICE MAY BE THERE, BUT IT'S, IT'S JUST ALL AROUND SAFETY FOR THE CITIZENS.
IT'S A LOT OF FUN AND IT IT'S A FAMILY.
UM, THERE'S A LOT OF KIDS COMING AND THEY LEFT TO SEE THE CAR ON FIRE.
EVERYBODY LIKES TO SEE THE DRAG BACK A BODY, WHICH IS A DUMMY, BUT YOU DRANK A BODY JUST SO THEY COULD SEE, YOU KNOW, HOW HEAVY THEY CAN BE.
AND THEY'RE DRAGGING THEM OUT OF A AND THEN ONE YEAR THEY ASKED ME TO PUT ON THE FIRE, OH MY GOODNESS, HEAVY.
AND THEY ONLY GIVE ME THREE MINUTES.
I CAN BARELY GET ON MY FOOT INTO THE ONE LEG.
THAT'S A LOT OF, UH, HANDS-OFF ACTIVITIES FOR KIDS.
AND SOMETIMES WE HAVE LIBRARY GIVING OUT BOOKS.
THE, THE LIBRARY READER, THEY WERE OUT THERE, BUT THEY DO, THEY HAVE ACTIVITIES FOR KIDS, UH, FACE PAINTING.
AND I MEAN, THEY DID, THEY DID ALL THAT KIND OF STUFF, BUT THEY'RE DOING SOME KIND OF CRAFT AND ALSO THE CITIZENS FIRE.
CAN WE START TO MAY 5TH, IF YOU WANT TO GO THROUGH THE GARLAND CITIZENS FIRE ACADEMY, WE'LL SEE IF YOU GO, GO TO THE POLICE FIRST.
CAUSE THEN YOU'LL BE DISAPPOINTED IF YOU GO TO FIRE.
IT'S REALLY, I LIKED IT MORE THAN THE POLICE CAUSE, UH, BUT UH, IT WAS, UH, YOU KNOW, IT, IT'S MORE EXCITING.
IT'S A MORE OF A HANDS-ON TYPE STUFF.
IT'S MORE FUN WITH FIRE DEPARTMENT WITH THE POLICE.
JUST LIKE THE AWARDING OR THE WAY I RAN INTO HERE.
THEY ALSO SERIOUS IN THE POINT THAT YOU FEEL LIKE, OH, DON'T TOUCH THAT HANDCUFFS ME.
IS THAT SOMETHING THAT'S ON THE WEBSITE? SO THIS IS FIRE ACADEMY.
IT'S LIKE AN EIGHT WEEK CLASS ON THURSDAY NIGHTS.
YOU EITHER SIGN UP, THEY'RE STILL TAKING THE APPLICATIONS THAT YOU GIVE THEM ROOM.
I KNOW THEN I WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO MAKE, TO DO IT EVERY 12 WEEKS TOMORROW.
AND THEN YOU WILL MISS YOUR FIRE.
NOW I JUST HAVE TO MISS CLASSES AND YOU CALL IT THE ASSISTANT CITIZENS FIRE ACADEMY.
EIGHT WEEKS WE MOVING ON TO ITEM C GROUP PHOTO.
WE NEED TO SET A DATE FOR OUR COMMISSION
[00:25:01]
PHOTOS.SO YOU ALL COME UP WITH RECOMMENDATIONS, THE DATA, EVERYONE AVAILABLE TO BE THERE, TO TAKE A PICTURE.
UH, IS IT A PICTURE WE WANT TO TAKE OUTSIDE OR DO WE WANT TO TAKE IT INSIDE? I GUESS WE COULD ALWAYS DETERMINE THAT ON THE DAY OF, AND THEN THE REASON I'M ASKING IS BECAUSE IF WE NORMALLY MEET EVERY THIRD, THURSDAY, THEN WHY NOT JUST DO IT THE DAY OF THE MEETING? YEAH, I AGREE.
UM, THE REASON I THINK WE WERE THINKING ABOUT EITHER PICKING A DATE OUTSIDE OF THE CMC MEETING WAS BECAUSE OF WEARING TRADITIONAL CLOTHES.
BUT IF EVERYBODY'S GOOD WITH WEARING LIKE THEIR CULTURAL CLOTHES DURING THE MEETING, THAT'S FINE.
I'M DOWN FOR THE 19TH AS WELL.
WE COULD TAKE A PICTURE IN FRONT OF THE CITY OF GARLAND SIGN.
UM, I, I THINK THERE ARE A LOT OF THINGS I, THIS BUILDING THAT WE CAN TAKE, ALTHOUGH SOME OF US ARE MELANIN IS A LOT BETTER OUT IN THE SUNLIGHT, RIGHT ON THE LOBBY.
AND DON'T FORGET TO BRING YOUR NAME BACK ON THAT DAY.
THE ONLY ISSUE WITH MEI IS I THINK, YEAH, THAT'S THAT'S LEADERSHIP GARLAND, WHICH KIMBERLIN IS GOING TO GRADUATE THAT NIGHT AND I'M THE, THE, UH, LEADER OR THE SENIOR ADVISOR FOR THAT CLASS.
SO I'M GOING TO BE THERE MAY NIGHT MEET ME AND CAROLYN, I THINK BOTH MAY 9TH OF 19, 19, THE THURSDAY, THE NINTH WILL BE MADE THAT DAY.
WE'LL BE OVER THERE AT THE ATRIUM FOR GRADUATION.
I TELL THAT DOESN'T WORK JUST ONLY THAT DAY BE BACK, BUT I'M NOT TOO SURE.
SO THAT'S WHY WE NEED TO PICK A DATE, RIGHT.
A DATE WHERE EVERYONE BE THERE.
I MEAN, YOU KNOW WHAT, BECAUSE I THINK OUR STARTS AT 7, 6 30 OR SEVEN.
SO IF WE DID IT EARLY, MAYBE AWESOME.
WHATEVER WE CAN DOUBLE CHECK WITH KIMBERLIN AND THEN FEED.
IF IT'S A FIVE 30, YOU GUYS MIGHT BE ABLE TO PULL IT OFF, YOU KNOW, 30, 35.
SO FOR RIGHT NOW WE SET FOR MAY 19TH AT 5:30 PM.
SO RENEE, DO YOU MIND JUST SEND OUT A QUICK EMAIL, LETTING EVERYONE KNOW THE DAY OF MAY 19TH FOR THE PHOTO SHOOT AT FIVE 30 AND PLEASE LET YOU KNOW, I'LL ASK NO.
IF SOMEONE IS NOT AVAILABLE BECAUSE WE DON'T WANT TO TAKE A PICTURE ONLY SEVEN OR EIGHT.
EVERYONE AGREE WITH ME ON THAT? YES, WE NEED, WE WOULD LIKE TO GET EVERYONE INTO THE PICTURE.
WELL, SINCE YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT THAT VIA A WEBSITE, RENEE NEEDS, I GUESS, UPSTATE FOR THE COMMITTEE MEMBERS, BECAUSE IT SHOWS, I DON'T KNOW WHO IT SHOWS THIS PRESIDENT BECAUSE KIMBERLIN IS NOT EVEN ON THERE AND SOME OTHER NAMES YEAH.
I DON'T ACTUALLY DO IT, BUT I DON'T.
AND THEN HAVE A, I THINK IT STILL SHOWS JENNIFER'S CHAIRMAN OR SOMETHING.
A MULTICULTURAL FILM FESTIVAL UPDATE.
I DON'T THINK ANYONE WAS ASSIGNED TO TALK TO ANDY.
YOU GUYS TALKED ABOUT REACHING OUT TO HIM, BUT I PUT IT ON HERE BECAUSE THERE WASN'T A DECISION ABOUT WHO WOULD TALK TO ANDY.
SO TH THAT'S WHY SOMETIMES WE, I, WE FEEL LIKE IF WE HAVE SOME ITEM ON THE AGENDA THAT WE MUST DISCUSS AND DECIDED, THEN EVEN IF WE CANNOT DESIGN 100% WHAT WE NEED TO MOVE IN ON AND MAKE SOMETHING HAPPEN.
BECAUSE IF WE DON'T TAKE ACTION, IT WILL ALWAYS BE A DREAM.
SO, UM, I MET AND THEY HAD LUNCH YESTERDAY AFTERNOON WITH MITCH.
SO IF YOU WANT ME TO, I CAN, WELL, I WORKED WITH HIM ON FILM FESTIVAL FOR THE VIETNAMESE AMERICAN AND ASIA AMERICA.
SO I CAN WORK WITH HIM, UH, ON BEHALF OF THE COMMISSION.
IF THAT'S WHAT YOU ALL WOULD LIKE, OKAY.
LIKE I'M NOT, I'M NOT TOTALLY FREE, BUT I WILL.
AND TO STEP UP ON THE PLAY BECAUSE WE LIKE TO GET SOMETHING DONE.
SO IT'S UP TO YOU TO ACT, TO MAKE ME, ASK ME TO DO IT.
SO YOU ARE MY BOSS OR ARE WE THINKING OF DOING, I THINK THE PLANS FOR THE FILM FESTIVAL AND CHANGE, LIKE SOMEONE NEW IS IN CHARGE.
RIGHT? I THINK THAT'S HOW I UNDERSTAND IT.
DAVID CAME AND TALKED TO YOU GUYS, THEN HE NO LONGER WORKS FOR THE CITY AND THAT'S HOW EVERYTHING YOU GUYS WENT ON TRUCK.
I THINK KIMBERLYN WAS CHECKING TO SEE WHO IS THE NEW PERSON IN CHARGE.
NOW, KIMBERLY KIMBERLIN MENTIONED ABOUT ANDY SEVERAL TIMES ABOUT FILM FESTIVAL AT THE MEETING,
[00:30:01]
BUT NOTHING BEING SET YET.THAT'S WHY I PHRASED IT THIS WAY.
DISCUSSING, ASSIGNED MEMBER OR MEMBER JUST CAUSE YOU GOT TO GIVE IT TO SOMEBODY.
YOU NEED TO HAVE A OUTSIDE PERSON TO DO THE TASK.
YOU ALL MAKE A DECISION AND YOU ALL LET ME KNOW.
YOU WANT ME TO DO IT? YOU CAN CONTACT HIM.
OH, MOTION FOR JENNIFER TO CONTACT MR. HESTA REGARDING THE MULTICULTURAL FILM FESTIVAL.
IF NOT ALL IN FAVOR, PLEASE SAY, AYE.
I WILL DO MY BEST AND I'M NOT GOING TO LET YOU DOWN.
DISCUSSION, UPDATE ON PARTNERSHIPS, NAACP, YOUTH COUNCIL, ANY UPDATES WAS I SUPPOSED TO BE GETTING AN UPDATE? CAUSE LAST TIME I GAVE JOYCE MILLER'S NUMBER.
UM, THAT WAS A YOUNG LADY THAT WAS HERE.
DID I NEVER GIVE YOU HER NUMBER? ARE YOU SERIOUS? OKAY.
HOW COULD I HAVE NOT GIVEN YOU HER NUMBER? GIVE ME A SECOND.
AND I'M GONNA GIVE YOU HER NUMBER BEFORE I LEAVE.
WHAT EXACTLY THE, WOULD YOU BE DOING THAT? YEAH.
WHEREAS I SUPPOSE TO HAVE AN UPDATE FOR IT.
WELL, NO, THIS IS LIKE A BROAD STATEMENT RIGHT HERE.
IT JUST SAYS NAACP YOUTH COUNCIL.
I'M NOT SURE, BUT JOYCE'S NAME OUT THERE AS A CONTACT.
AND IF THERE MIGHT BE WAYS TO PARTNER WITH THAT YOUTH GROUP TO DO MULTICULTURAL PROGRAMMING, THEN I DON'T NEED TO GIVE YOU A NUMBER OUT.
ALL OF IT IS ABOUT PROGRAMMING WITH THIS GROUP OF THREE ITEMS. SO WHOEVER IS GOING TO BE LEAD ON IT.
ALL OF IT IS ABOUT PROGRAMMING WITH THIS GROUP, WHATEVER THAT PROGRAMMING YOU PUT MY NAME ON THERE.
MA'AM I WILL TAKE THE LEAD ON.
I WILL TAKE CARE OF THAT AND I APOLOGIZE.
NO PROBLEM COMMUNITIES IN SCHOOLS.
GARLAND INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT AND THE UPDATES.
WELL, I THINK THERE'S, ARE YOU STILL ON THE MULTICULTURAL COMMITTEE? YES, I AM.
I JUST THOUGHT JUST, I HAD AN UPDATE FROM HER SOCIAL WORKER FRIEND THAT OH, OKAY, COOL.
UM, YES, THERE IS AN UPCOMING MEETING ON APRIL 25TH, MONDAY FOR THE GARLAND ISD MULTI-ETHNIC COMMITTEE.
UM, THE TOPIC IS ON SCHOOL OF CHOICE AND ENROLLMENT AND THE ZOOM LINK IS ON THE GARLAND ISD WEBSITE.
AND THEN I ALSO HAVE AN UPDATE ON THE CMC MEDIA PROJECT.
I'M STILL WORKING ON THAT WITH DOROTHY.
I'M SUPPOSED TO MEET WITH HER SOMETIME IN THE NEAR FUTURE.
AND I HAVE A, AN UPDATE FROM THE PARENT AND COMMUNITY, UM, GROUP AT, UH, AT GARLAND ISD AND THEY HAVE WE'D MISSED ONE OF THEM, BUT I DID TRY TO GET HER ON HER FACEBOOK PAGE, BUT THERE IS AN S OR FUNDS, UM, COMMUNITY INPUT OPPORTUNITY NEXT WEDNESDAY, THE 27TH FROM FIVE 30 TO SIX 30, UM, PARENTS AND COMMUNITY MEMBERS INTERESTED IN SEEING HOW ESTHER FUNDS WILL BE SPENT IN THE DISTRICT.
SO IS THAT ON ZOOM MEETING? NOT IN PERSON, RIGHT? IT'S A VIRTUAL MEETING.
WOULD IT BE FAIR IF WE PUT UNDER DISCUSSION UPDATE ON PARTNERSHIP? IF WE PUT THE NAME OF THE PERSON WHO LEADING THAT PROJECT GOING FORWARD, I KNOW IT'S A FAIR FOR EVERYONE THEN NOW WE KNOW WHO TAKE IT.
WHO IS TAKING THE LEAD ON EACH TASK? YEAH.
UPCOMING EVENTS GO GREEN GARLAND EARTH DAY CELEBRATION.
OH, THIS WEEK, SATURDAY, SATURDAY.
SO SATURDAY, APRIL 23RD, 9:00 AM TO NOON GRANDVILLE, PARKING LOT RIGHT HERE.
IT WON'T BE IN FRONT IN THE BACK.
THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE PEOPLE OUT THERE DIRECT TRAFFIC AND ALL THE RECYCLING AND STUFF.
UH, GALLON, GENERALLY ELECTION FOR DISTRICT TWO AND FIVE MAY SEVEN EARLY VOTING IS APRIL 25TH AND RIGHT.
THREE STATE CONSTITUTION PROPOSITIONS.
I BELIEVE THREE OF THEM INVOLVE YOUR TAXES, JUST LETTING YOU KNOW, OH, IF WE
[00:35:01]
CAN, ALL WE ALL CAN USE OUR SOCIAL MEDIA OR YOUR CONTACT AND TALK TO YOUR COMMUNITY, YOUR NEXT DOOR NEIGHBOR, ENCOURAGE THEM TO GO OLIVER, APRIL 25TH OR MAY THE SEVEN.AND WHEN WE ARE TALKING ABOUT GALLON GENERAL ELECTION, WE WOULD LIKE TO UPDATE YOU ALL THAT.
AGAIN WITH YOU, YOU HAVE A LOT OF CONTACTS OUT THERE, A LOT OF RESOURCES AND YOU SEND IT OUR WAY.
THE REASON I SAY WE, CAUSE I'M NOT A ONE MAN BAND PERSON.
WHEN I DO SOMETHING, I ALWAYS TRY TO GET MORE VOLUNTEER TO GET INVOLVED JUST IN CASE I DON'T REMEMBER UNDER SECOND OR THE THIRD OR FOURTH, FIFTH MEMBER WILL TAKE BETTER NOTES THAN I DO.
WE PARTICIPATE ON A CALL WITH DALLAS COUNTY ELECTION ON THE TOPIC OF VOTING SIDE REDUCTIONS, LIKE CLOTHES, A LOT OF VOTING SITES THAT YOU ALL CANNOT IMAGINE.
WHY ARE THEY DOING THAT BEFORE EARLY VOTING? THAT'S A BIG QUESTION, MARK.
THAT WAS FOR THE COMMITTEE THAT WORKED THROUGH THAT PROCESS.
THE REASON THAT'S HAPPENING IS THE SAME REASON EVERYBODY'S HAVING TROUBLE HIRING PEOPLE.
THEY'RE HAVING PEOPLE WHO THEY'RE HAVING TROUBLE HIRING PEOPLE TO WORK THE SITE.
SO YOU CAN'T HAVE THE SITE WHEN THERE'S NO ONE THERE TO RUN IT.
AND SO THEY, IN THE PAST, THEY DIDN'T HAVE TROUBLE DOING THAT, BUT THERE'S BEEN, UM, A CHANGE IN HOW POLL WATCHERS AND I'M REPEATING SOMETHING THAT WAS SAID BY THE DALLAS COUNTY ELECTIONS POLL WATCHERS NOW HAVE IN SOME WAYS MORE AUTHORITY THAN OTHER FOLKS WORKING IN THERE.
AND SO IT CREATES A BIT OF TENSION FOR SOME PEOPLE, NOT FOR EVERYONE.
AND SO SOME PEOPLE JUST AREN'T WILLING TO WORK.
AND SO THEY'RE, THEY'RE STRUGGLING TO FIND PEOPLE TO WORK.
AND THEN SURPRISINGLY, DURING A MEETING, THERE'S A LOT OF VOTING SIDE.
THERE'S ZERO VOTER ZERO, AND THEY'VE BEEN OPEN FOR YEARS.
ELIMINATE IT BECAUSE IF YOU'VE GOT ONE HERE AND ONE A MILE DOWN THE ROAD AND ONE'S GOT 300 PEOPLE AND ONE'S GOT TWO, THEY'RE GOING TO LOSE THAT ONE.
UH, CINCO, THE MAYOR MAY EIGHT WINDOWS
ANOTHER THING ON CINCO DE MAYO, NOT ON CINCO DE MAYO, BUT ON MAY 10TH IS WHO NIGOS MEETING, WHICH I WILL GO TO.
UH, IT IS ALSO, UH, MOTHER'S DAY FOR ALL HISPANIC WOMEN OR MEXICAN WOMEN.
THAT'S WHEN THEY CELEBRATE MOTHER'S DAY, UM, I WILL BE PROVIDING COOKIES AS FAR AS PART OF NEEDLES.
