Discuss/modify attached plan for presenters.
|
| |
BK Williams introduced the topic for discussion and both BK Williams and Mariana Moore reviewed the current schedule of speakers. MXCAB members discussed options for future meetings. It was noted that the schedule included only two more meetings for presentations (July 21 and 28) and that the July 28 meeting covered a wide range of topics with many potential panelists. The pros and cons of splitting the panel into two nights was discussed. Jim Cervantes, District II Appointee, made a motion to break the meeting of July 28th into two meetings, which would defer discussion of development of draft priorities and finalizing the priorities by one week from August 4 and August 8 to August 11 and August 18. The motion was seconded by Odessa LeFrancois, District III Appointee. The MXCAB discussed the impacts of such a motion and several members offered to help to reschedule the panelists. There were no comments from members of the public. The item passed unanimously.
An updated schedule will be attached to the next agenda. |

REVIEW and DISCUSS process for finalizing priorities and recommendations to submit to the Board of Supervisors (Mariana Moore, Chair) |
| |
Mariana Moore introduced the topic for discussion. A discussion took place regarding the process for continued tracking of issues and beginning to sort through priorities in order to make recommendations. BK Williams reminded the MXCAB of the spreadsheet that was prepared by Cathy Hanville for MXCAB use. An updated spreadsheet will be emailed out to MXCAB members and a pdf will be included in the agenda packet for the meeting of July 28. A brief discussion took place regarding the process for MXCAB to make decisions in developing the priority list and recommendations to submit to the Board of Supervisors. The discussion included how sub-group discussions could take place while maintaining transparency and public access to decision makers. After the MXCAB discussion, public comments were made by Elsa Stevens. Staff was asked to review options for sub-group discussions. |
