5. Accept attached updated tracking spreadsheets and list of potential funding buckets.
  Chair Moore introduced the topic for discussion and shared the additional two MXCAB meeting dates in support of additional time to deliberate. Members were asked to submit any pending questions or clarifications of previous presenters to Lisa, BK and Mariana as soon as possible to allow enough time for those communications to be sent and responses to be received in time for their future deliberations. Discussions took place on the two added meetings, the deliberation process, revisions to the screening tool and identified "buckets", use of polling for ranking, transparency on the intended impacts, and structure of the MXCAB recommendations report to the Board of Supervisors.

Odessa LeFrancois made a motion to add a final decision making meeting for August 25th at 5:00 PM, Kathy Chiverton seconded it, and it passed unanimously.

Chair Moore asked MXCAB members to use this next week to review the spreadsheet in preparation for next week's meeting discussion, which will allow an opportunity for sharing and opening up ideas for the full membership to consider. She additionally asked for the following in preparation for next week's meeting: a tab with a cumulative score, adding both the moral and practical implications sections, and the number of people afffected to be added to the tracking spreadsheet; holding discussions at next week's meeting on the report structure and overall approach to making the recommendations to the Board of Supervisors, inclusive of the distinguishing factors tied to what the MXCAB does and does not select as priorities and weaving in a story of impact; and further clarifying where the collective "we" land on how the deliberation process will be moving forward.

Enid agreed to send out an email to the membership with links to the meeting videos posted online. Cathy Hanville agreed to send Enid the revised spreadsheet so that it could be included in the August 11th meeting agenda packet.
