Information

Referral History:

REVIEW and DISCUSS process for finalizing priorities and recommendations to submit to the Board of Supervisors (Mariana Moore, Chair)

Referral Update:

Based on discussion at the August 25 MXCAB meeting -- particularly interest in referencing the original spreadsheet as the Committee reviews the categories, and that the MXCAB create more time for MXCAB discussion of issue areas and strategies -- Vice Chair Williams and Chair Moore propose that the MXCAB move forward with the following process for the meeting this Wednesday, September 1.

Note that the MXCAB is striving to find the right balance between allowing time for important discussions while moving toward closure and decision. In preparation for the meeting:

Review the "Presentations Summary" tab in the attached pdf (Presentation Summary). This document has been updated along the way, but is unchanged since the meeting on August 25. This provides the most detailed list of proposed strategies, grouped in the way that most members are familiar with working.
Review "Sorted by High Priority, Secondary Priority" report from the poll at the August 20 MXCAB meeting. Focusing on the "yes" columns only, note which strategies do and do not have "yes" numbers that together (High Priority & Secondary Priority) exceed 50%. With the need to establish a cut-off point of some sort, the Chair and Vice Chair propose that the cut-off be set at 50%, with the following caveats:
1. Nothing that falls below the 50% line is being formally eliminated yet; simply note what is above and below the line.
2. Continue efforts to clarify and consolidate strategies, which will likely lead to changes to the list.
3. Another poll will be conducted at the September 8 meeting, with the expectation that all MXCAB members will be able to be present and participate in the poll. Next steps will be to check for alignment, discuss any remaining areas of significant diverse opinions, and then check if the majority are ready to move to a formal vote on recommendations to the Board.
At-Large member Susun Kim updated her consolidated list, which is attached for reference; in particular, it can be helpful to see how various strategies polled on 8/20.
In response to the request from several members to create more time for discussion of various strategies, at the meeting on September 1, the MXCAB will use the "Sorted by High Priority, Secondary Priority" poll report, along with the original evaluation spreadsheet, to go through each of the 14 issue categories one by one to allow for MXCAB discussion and debate. Members are also invited to identify any strategies not yet receiving sufficient attention, including any that fall below the current 50% cut-off. Following general discussion at the outset of each category, each MXCAB member will be offered up to 2 minutes to highlight a specific strategy/ies in each category for this purpose.

Recommendation(s)/Next Step(s):

Accept attached updated Measure X Funding Priority Recommendations from S.Kim for discussion of potential funding priorites and consider finalizing priorities and recommendations to submit to the Board of Supervisors
