5. Discuss/modify attached plan for presenters.
  Mariana Moore introduced the topic for discussion and explained that it has been challenging to schedule speakers each week.  MXCAB members provided feedback regarding their disappointment in the racial mix of speakers, in particular the under-representation of African American speakers.  A question came up regarding MXCAB members being allowed to participate as presenters.  Staff reminded the Committee that they had voted to disallow individual members from presenting (however, non-members are allowed to present from the member's organization).  Following an in-depth discussion, Ms. Moore asked members to think about strategies and solutions on how to move forward in order to be prepared for the discussion next week.  The updated list of suggested speakers is attached for reference.  The group also supported a recommendation to ask presenters from the county and community-based organizations to focus their presentation remarks on describing their specific ideas and recommendations for the best use of Measure X funds for the issues on which they are presenting; more general background information on the department/organization and the issue/ecosystem can be presented in the written materials submitted by presenters for advance review by Advisory Board members.
