REGULAR MEETING
Dashawn Debose would like the Commission to reconsider the Inclusion
Committee for Black Lives Matter.
Lyneisha Watson introduced herself and informed the Commission if they have any
questions regarding cannabis or if they need additional information on the product she will be more
than happy to assist them.
Danni Adams thanked the Commission for changing the Heritage Park sign so fast.
She asked the Commission to reconsider the Racial Diversity and Inclusion Board. She said the
Commission should look at appointing a person of color on the Public Art Commission as there is
currently no one of color on the board. Commissioner Mahany informed Ms. Adams when the
board was originally formed, the Chair Person was an African American man and the reason he is
no longer on the board is because he moved.
Takavius Byrd agreed with Ms. Adams on the Commission reconsidering the
Racial Diversity and Inclusion Board. He said the City's social media is not focused on board
applications and that needs to be addressed. Commissioner Britton informed the speakers that she
is the one who postponed the Racial Diversity and Inclusion Committee because she wants the
City to focus on the MBK Committee initiatives, Black Lives Matter and see that the funds from
the CARES Act are provided before the City focuses on a new board.
