Apr 03, 2024 Public Health Commission

UH, MOVING TO, UH, DO I HAVE A APPROVED, UH, MOTION TO APPROVE THE MINUTES OF THE PUBLIC HEALTH COMMISSION SPECIAL CALLED MEETING FOR MARCH 25TH? 2024.

[1. Approve the minutes of the Public Health Commission Special Call Meeting on March 25, 2024.]

SO MOVED.

DO I HAVE A SECOND? I SECOND.

AND SECONDED.

ANY QUESTIONS? SHOULD THE MOTION QUESTIONS, SHOULD THE MOTION THERE BEING NONE? UH, AGENDA ADAM IS APPROVED.

MOVING

[2. Discuss the procedure to submit agenda items outside of an official meeting.]

ON TO DISCUSSION, UH, DISCUSS THE PROCEDURE TO SUBMIT AGENDA ITEMS OUTSIDE OF AN OFFICIAL MEETING.

I BELIEVE WE'VE, WE'VE COVERED THAT PREVIOUSLY.

IT WAS JUST A REMINDER.

UM, SO WHEN ANY COMMISSIONER WANTS TO TURN IN AN AGENDA ITEM NOT, AND NOT DISCUSS IT LIKE DURING THE MEETING, LIKE IF IT'S LIKE AFTERWARDS, UM, JUST MAKE SURE THAT YOU PLEASE REMEMBER TO DO THAT, UH, TWO TO THREE WEEKS BEFORE THE NEXT MEETING, JUST SO WE HAVE ENOUGH TIME TO GET, UM, SOMEONE TO SUPPORT THAT MOTION AND, YOU KNOW, DO THE RESEARCH AND WHATEVER WE NEED TO DO TO GET IT ON THE AGENDA.

ON TO AGENDA ITEM NUMBER THREE, DISCUSSION ON THE STRUCTURE FORMAT OF ENGAGEMENT AND FREQUENCY OF MEETINGS FOR THE COMMISSION'S WORK GROUPS, WHICH ARE THE BUDGET WORK GROUP INFRASTRUCTURE AND ACCESS WORK GROUP AND THE ADVOCACY AND PARTNERSHIP WORK GROUP.

UH, ANY QUESTIONS THAT FEEDBACK REGARDING, ALRIGHT, MOVING

[3. Discussion on the structure, format of engagement and frequency of meetings for the Commission's work groups (Budget work group, Infrastructure and Access work group, and Advocacy and Partnership work group).]

UM, IN, IN THIS ONE, ONE TO REALLY SAY CREATE A CONSENSUS AT THE COMMISSION LEVEL FIRST, SO THAT WAY WE DON'T HAVE THREE DIFFERENT GROUPS ENGAGING OR DOCUMENTING OR, OR, OR ENGAGING DIFFERENTLY.

AND THEN WHEN IT COMES BACK TO REPORTING, EVERYBODY'S LIKE, UH, IT DOESN'T LOOK THE SAME.

EVERYBODY'S DOING SOMETHING DIFFERENTLY.

AND SO I THINK FIRST IS KIND OF WHAT IS THE FREQUENCY? UH, ARE YOU THINKING, UH, SOMETHING TO THE SENSE OF MONTHLY, BIMONTHLY, QUARTERLY, LIKE WHAT SHOULD BE THE, UH, THE BATTLE RHYTHM, SO TO SAY, UH, THE WORK GROUPS, HOW OFTEN SHOULD THOSE WORK GROUPS MEET? UM, SINCE WE'RE PROBABLY GONNA BE LEVERAGING THEM MORE REALLY TO HELP WITH IDENTIFYING POLICIES, POLICY CHANGES, RECOMMENDATIONS, TALKING WITH THE DIFFERENT GROUPS TO MAKE SURE THOSE RECOMMENDATIONS ARE ACTUALLY HITTING WHERE THEY NEED TO.

AND MORE OF BRINGING THAT HERE FOR CONSISTENT AGREEMENT AND OFFICIAL RECOMMENDATION, UH, OF APPROVAL TO, UH, THE APPROPRIATE, UM, AGENCIES TO, TO HOPEFULLY ENACT.

ANY THOUGHTS THERE? I HAD A QUESTION AROUND, UM, DO THIS SUBCOMMITTEE MEETINGS HAVE TO BE PUBLIC OR, UM, CAN WE LIKE THREE PEOPLE MEET ON A ZOOM CALL OR HOW, HOW DOES IT WORK? SO WITH IT BEING A WORK GROUP, IT DOESN'T FALL WITHIN THE LINES OF A SUBCOMMITTEE BEING ESTABLISHED.

SO IT, IT DOESN'T NECESSARILY HAVE THE FULL, UH, PUBLIC HEALTH REQUIREMENTS.

UM, SO IT CAN BE MORE OF INFORMAL.

IT ALSO ALLOWS FOR WHATEVER GROUPS, WHATEVER, UH, UH, SUBJECT MATTER EXPERTS AS WELL THAT COULD BE BENEFICIAL TO WHAT YOU'RE TRYING TO DO WITHOUT HAVING TO GO THROUGH THE FULL FORMALITIES, WHICH OFTENTIMES DELAY THINGS.

AND SO I KNOW WE MEET MONTHLY.

SO AGAIN, HOW FREQUENTLY TO ENSURE THAT WE HAVE SOMETHING TANGIBLE TO TALK ABOUT, SOMETHING TO GIVE GUIDANCE ON AS A FULL BODY VERSUS, YOU KNOW, GOING INTO AN EMPTY AGENDA SPACE AND WE'RE NOT MOVING THE NEEDLE ON ANYTHING, WHICH IS THE ULTIMATE INTENTION OF THE COMMISSION.

ANY THOUGHTS? I'D MAKE A RE RECOMMENDATION.

UM, AREN'T THERE MULTIPLE COMMITTEE MEMBERS ON MULTIPLE SUBCOMMITTEES? SO IF WE ARE, IF WE HAVE MULTIPLE PEOPLE SAYING, UH, YOU KNOW, THEY CAN DEDICATE TIME TO THE BUDGET WORK GROUP AND THE ADVOCACY AND PARTNERSHIP WORK GROUP SAYING THAT WE'D MEET MONTHLY MEANS THAT INDIVIDUAL WILL NOW MM-HMM.

HAVE TO SCHEDULE AROUND THE COMMISSION MEETING MULTIPLE SUBCOMMITTEE MEETINGS PLUS OUR OUTSIDE MM-HMM.

THINGS.

SO IS THERE MAYBE A RECOMMENDATION THAT WE SAY, HEY, EVERYONE HAS TO MEET IN THEIR WORK GROUPS, UM, WITHIN THE NEXT TWO MONTHS AND THEN COME BACK WITH A CADENCE SO THAT THAT WAY WE WOULD HAVE AN ESTABLISHED FREQUENCY FOR EVERYONE AND NOT HAVE TO SAY EVERYBODY HAS TO MEET QUARTERLY WHEN YOU MAY NOT LINE UP ANY CALENDARS TO MEET QUARTERLY OR, THAT'S JUST MY SUGGESTION.

GOAL THERE IS, UM, MAXIMIZING THE TIME OUT OF THE WORK GROUP SINCE YOU'RE NOT MEETING POTENTIALLY THE OTHER TWO MONTHS.

SO I, I DEFINITELY LIKE WHAT YOU BROUGHT UP.

I SEE WE GOT THREE DIFFERENT WORK GROUPS, SO POTENTIALLY IT CAN ALMOST BE ONE MEETING PER MONTH.

RIGHT? SO IF THERE ARE ON MULTIPLE DIFFERENT ONES, IT'S STILL ONLY TWO MEETINGS.

RIGHT? THE

[00:05:01]

UM, ANY ANY OTHER THOUGHTS AROUND THAT? DO WE HAVE A LIST? I'M SORRY, OF, OF THE WORK GROUPS? I'M JUST TRYING TO FIND IT NOW.

RIGHT HERE ON, UH, THE SECOND PAGE.

I'M SORRY.

THE MEMBERS OF THE WORK.

OH, THE MEMBERS.

NO, I DON'T THINK WE HAVE THAT, THAT LIST, UH, ON US.

IS THAT TAB THREE? THANKS.

IS IT OKAY? THANK YOU.

WE ARE, THERE WE GO.

TWO HALFWAY BACK.

THERE'S SOMETHING, UM, EXCUSE ME, EXCUSE ME.

SOMETHING I ALSO WONDERED IF, UM, YOU KNOW, A FIRST MEETING IS, IS HELD THEN MICROPHONE.

I'M SORRY.

I, I ALSO WONDERED IF WE HOLD THE FIRST MEETING AND I'M JUST MAKING A CONVERSATION HERE AND HAVE CLARITY ON WHAT THE QUESTIONS WE WANNA WORK ON, THEN THE SEQUENCE OF WHAT WOULD COME NEXT AS FAR AS NEXT MEETINGS WOULD BE MAYBE, UM, CLEAR TO US.

I'M JUST THINKING OUT LOUD KINDA WHAT YOU SAID NATALIE LEADS TO RACE, TO, UM, HAVING AN INITIAL MEETING, WHICH KIND OF LEADS ME TO THE SECOND QUESTION.

, WHICH IS, YOU KNOW, LET'S SAY EVERYBODY GOT SAID, OKAY, WE'RE GONNA HAVE AN INITIAL MEETING.

DOES DO WE HAVE, DO WE KNOW WHAT THE AGENDA IS FOR THOSE MEETINGS OR WHAT, WHAT THEY'RE GONNA BE REALLY FOCUSED ON? WELL THAT, YEAH, THAT'LL HAVE TO GET SET BY THE WORK GROUPS IN THIS ASPECT.

IT'S GONNA BE KIND OF MORE OF JUST THE BROADER YEAH.

WHAT, WHAT DOES THE OTHER COMMISSIONERS EXPECT WILL BE COMING FROM THAT WORK GROUP.

VERSUS THE WORK GROUP SOLELY CREATING EVERYTHING COMES BACK AND THEN THE REST OF THE COMMISSION IS LIKE, EH, WE THOUGHT YOU WERE GONNA BE WORKING ON SOMETHING DIFFERENT, OR WE THOUGHT YOU WERE GONNA PROBABLY MEET MORE FREQUENTLY GIVEN RIGHT.

THE URGENCY OF THIS TOPIC.

SO, AND I THINK, UM, ONE OF THE THINGS WE HAD DISCUSSED WERE KIND OF THIS OVERARCHING TOPICS THAT WE WERE GONNA HAVE ACROSS THE DIFFERENT, UM, GROUPS.

AND I THOUGHT WE HAD ALREADY KIND OF, UH, LINED THOSE UP.

SO THE TOPIC ON ITSELF I THINK IS ALREADY THERE.

NOW.

IT'S MORE FOR THE SMALL GROUPS TO KIND OF DISCUSS HOW THEY WANNA TACKLE THAT SPECIFIC TOPIC.

I BELIEVE THE FIRST ONE WAS AROUND SOCIAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH, UH, BUT SOCIAL, PHYSICAL AND HOUSING.

SOCIAL AND PHYSICAL.

UH, SO I THINK THAT'S THE FIRST TOPIC THAT ALL THREE OF THESE GROUPS ARE GONNA BE TARGETING.

UM, YEAH.

CAN WE TALK ABOUT THAT A LITTLE BIT? SURE.

WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? WE'RE ALL AWARE THAT THE SOCIAL DETERMINANTS ARE IMPORTANT OR, OR ALL THOSE THINGS.

WHAT IS IT THAT, WHAT'S THE QUESTION? SO I WOULD SAY WE'RE NOT AT THAT JUNCTURE YET RIGHT NOW.

THAT'S GONNA BE THE OTHER PIECE.

SO I THINK RIGHT NOW IS JUST KIND OF, IS THERE A MINIMUM FREQUENCY OF ENGAGEMENT? WE'RE TALKING ABOUT MORE IS ALWAYS BETTER, BUT WHAT'S THE MINIMUM EXPECTANCY? OKAY.

SO ARE WE SAYING AT LEAST MINIMALLY EACH WORK GROUP NEEDS TO MEET QUARTERLY, WHICH POTENTIALLY IS ONE PER MONTH.

NOW QUARTERLY WOULD BE FOUR TIMES A YEAR, CORRECT? YES.

IS THAT WHAT YOU MEAN? YES.

, WHICH DOESN'T SEEM OFTEN ENOUGH, RIGHT? A LITTLE BIT, BUT AGAIN, WE'RE TALKING ABOUT MINIMALLY.

WHAT ARE WE THINKING? MINIMALLY NOW YOU AS A WORK GROUP CAN THEN DETERMINE TO SAY WE, WE PROBABLY NEED TO MEET MORE FREQUENTLY, BUT FOR, UH, A POLICY OR GUIDANCE TO BE WRITTEN UP.

WHAT ARE WE ESTABLISHING AND SAYING, EVEN IF THERE'S NOTHING TO TALK ABOUT, WHICH I DON'T SEE THAT HAPPENING, BUT YOU STILL NEED TO AT LEAST BE MEETING QUARTERLY.

AND SO IF, IF THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE SAYING IS, HEY, WORST CASE SCENARIO, THAT'S GOOD ENOUGH OR YOU'RE SAYING EVEN LESS FREQUENTLY IS PREFERRED? RIGHT.

'CAUSE I DON'T THINK ANYBODY WANTS TO MANDATE ALL OF THEM MEET EVERY MONTH.

BECAUSE AGAIN, AS YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT THE UNINTENTIONAL OVERLAP, SOMEONE COULD BE, I AIN'T GONNA SAY THE, THE WORD I WAS THINKING OF, BUT SOMEONE COULD GET JACKED UP AND HAVE ALMOST LIKE FOUR MEETINGS A MONTH.

WELL, NO ONE'S LISTED ON MORE THAN ANY SINGLE MEETING.

IS ANY COMMISSIONER LISTED ON AS MORE THAN ONE? DID I MISS IT? YES.

KIRKHAM IS LISTED AS WELL AS I'M SORRY.

SO IT SOUNDS LIKE ANY, ANY, ANY NON-CONSENSUS ON ONCE A MONTH QUARTERLY PER WORK GROUP.

ANY THOUGHTS ON, SORRY, QUARTERLY OR ONCE A MONTH? QUARTERLY, BUT WITHIN THAT QUARTER, ONCE A MONTH? WELL, NO, WE'RE, WE'RE CONFUSED.

I'M SAYING, I'M SAYING, OKAY.

THE WAY I WAS THINKING IT, IT PROBABLY DOESN'T MAKE SENSE THE WAY I'M SAYING IT.

UH, THE INFRASTRUCTURE ACCESS WORK GROUP WOULD MEET JUNE, ADVOCACY WOULD MM-HMM.

SO WITHIN EACH QUARTER, ONLY ONE WORK GROUP WILL MEET PER MONTH.

UH, SURE.

SO YOU'RE SAYING,

[00:10:01]

JULY BUDGET WOULD MEET AUGUST.

BUT WE WOULD ALL MEET PER ONCE PER QUARTER.

NOT OVERLAPPING OUR MEETINGS.

EXACTLY.

YOU'RE SAYING THAT'S THE MINIMUM.

MINIMUM.

IT WOULD BE UP TO THE WORK GROUPS IF THEY DECIDE TO DO MORE.

ARE WE ABLE TO COUNT WORK GROUP MEETINGS? LIKE IF NOT EVERYBODY'S PRESENT, IF TWO OUT OF THREE YES.

THAT'S OKAY.

UM, SO NOTICE AGREEMENT ON THAT.

UH, ANY OTHER THOUGHTS AS FAR AS SHOULD THE WORK GROUPS HAPPEN BEFORE THE CREATION OF THE COMMITTEE AGENDA? SO IT HELPS TO DRIVE IT OR SHOULD IT BE AFTER? AND SO HOPEFULLY THERE'S MORE GUIDANCE FROM THE COMMISSION TO THE WORK GROUP.

WHICH, WHICH ONE DO YOU ALL PREFER? I WOULD RECOMMEND WE'D HAVE EITHER LIKE A TEMPLATE TO FOLLOW MM-HMM.

, BUT NOT NECESSARILY A DICTATION RIGHT.

OF COVER THESE, UM, MAYBE BUCKETS.

THE TOPIC EXPLANATION COMMISSION.

EVERYBODY HAS TO COVER, YOU KNOW, UM, JUST BECAUSE IT'S RIGHT HERE IN FRONT OF ME.

AND THOSE ARE EACH ONE OF THE BUCKETS THAT WE HAVE TO COVER.

EVERY SINGLE TIME.

SO THAT IF THERE IS A TIME, NO ONE'S GOING IN AT LIKE MM-HMM.

, WE ONLY TALK, WE ONLY DO EXPLANATIONS.

WE DON'T DO ANYTHING CONNECTING BACK TO COMMISSIONS AND WELL, EVERYBODY ELSE'S.

SO IF WE COULD HAVE IT WHERE IT'S KIND OF A STANDARD OF PRACTICE MM-HMM.

OR PROCEDURE.

UM, THAT'D BE MY RECOMMENDATION.

SO A SECTION WITHIN THE AGENDA THAT ASHLEY IS A REPORT KIND OF COMING FROM THE DIFFERENT WORK GROUPS AT TIMES, THERE PROBABLY WILL BE NO NEW UPDATE.

UM, RIGHT.

, UH, SO DO WE WANT, OKAY.

NO, THAT WORKS.

I THINK THAT SOLVES BOTH WHETHER BEFORE OR AFTER.

ANY THOUGHTS HERE? I MEAN, Y'ALL PART OF THE CREW TOO, SO ALL RIGHT.

WHAT, WHAT ABOUT I HAVE, UM, YEAH, I HAVE A SUGGESTION.

ABSOLUTELY.

UM, I KNOW, I THINK JUST TO KIND OF GET OUR FEET WET A LITTLE BIT, I KNOW THAT, UM, I RECEIVED FROM CAM, FROM VANESSA FUENTES OFFICE, AN INVITATION.

THEY'RE GONNA HAVE A, UH, PUBLIC HEARING HERE AT THE OPPORTUNITY CENTER IN DELL VALLEY.

AND MAYBE JUST COME IN, I DON'T KNOW, I, I'M INVITING, I'LL BE THERE MYSELF, JUST TO KIND OF SEE AND HAVE A LITTLE SENSE OF HOW THE COMMUNITY RESPONDS TO OFFICIALS COMING IN.

IT SEEMS IT'S ABOUT SHARING UPDATES AND SHARING RESOURCES.

AND I'M SURE THAT A LOT OF THE PEOPLE IN DELL VALLEY WILL COME IN WITH AN EXPECTATION OF BEING ABLE TO, YOU KNOW, VOICE SOME OF THEIR CONCERNS GOING ON IN DELL VALLEY THAT I'M SURE THAT VANESSA FUENTES OFFICE WILL TAKE BACK.

UM, IT'S GONNA BE JUDGE BROWN AND COMMISSIONER, UH, FROM TRAVIS, MARGARET GOMEZ.

ALL THREE OF THEM ARE GONNA BE THERE.

I THINK THAT WOULD JUST KIND OF LIKE GIVE US JUST LIKE A, YOU KNOW, AN EXPECTATOR OUTLOOK AND SEE HOW WE COULD SEE OR HOW TO SET UP, UH, THAT WOULD KIND OF GIVE US MORE OF A, UM, HOW CAN WE SET UP WHO CAN WE USE? OR WE CAN USE OPPORTUNITY CENTER AGAIN, IF THEY'RE GONNA, I KNOW THEY'RE HAVING DRINKS AND THEY'RE HAVING, UH, FOOD.

UM, AND WHAT ELSE? AND JUST, I GUESS IT'S JUST ABOUT SHARING RESOURCES AND I JUST WANTED TO EXTEND THAT INVITATION FOR ANYBODY FOR THEIR GROUPS, YOU KNOW, WHEN WE START THE SMALLER GROUPS MM-HMM.

, UM, TO KIND OF HAVE AN IDEA.

ABSOLUTELY.

I THINK THAT'S DEFINITELY GONNA ALIGN WITH THAT PARTNERSHIP AND COLLABORATIONS, UH, WORK GROUP.

AND I SEE A LOT OF THAT BLEEDING OVER IN, IN PROVIDING THE RIGHT CONTEXT, THE RIGHT ENTITIES FOR THE OTHER TWO WORK GROUPS, UH, AS WELL.

AND PROBABLY VICE VERSA TOO.

AUSTIN, TRAVIS COUNTY OFF AUSTIN, TRAVIS COUNTY, RENTEE ROUNDTABLE, UH, THE AUSTIN TRAVIS COUNTY, UH, FOOD PLAN, UH, COMMUNITY ADVISORY COMMITTEE.

UM, AND I THINK THAT'LL PROBABLY BE ONE OF THE NEXT MEETINGS IS US CREATING A LIST OF JUST LIKE, HEY, THESE ARE THE ENTITIES, AGENCIES OR PEOPLE WE NEED TO REACH OUT TO AND GET ONTO THE WORK GROUPS.

AND, AND DEFINITELY WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT THERE TOO, COMMISSIONER, IS WHAT EVENTS AND SO FORTH DO WE POTENTIALLY NEED TO GO TO AND JUST KIND OF NETWORK AND LET PEOPLE EVEN KNOW ABOUT THE PUBLIC HEALTH COMMISSION AND WHAT THE MANDATE AND WHAT THE, WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO.

UH, STILL FAIRLY NEW EVEN OUT THERE FOR ALLIANCES AND COLLABORATIONS.

QUICK QUESTION.

I WAS TRYING TO REMEMBER, AND I CAN'T SEE IT IN, IN THE MINUTES.

THANK YOU.

I CAN'T SEE IT IN THE MINUTES.

SEEMS LIKE ON THAT SATURDAY RETREAT, WE HAD THREE THINGS.

ONE WAS SOCIAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH, ONE WAS MARTHA'S, UM, I THINK SUGGESTION ABOUT STUDYING MORE HOW EASILY THINGS ARE ACCESSED, SERVICES ARE ACCESSED.

AND I FORGET WHAT THE THIRD WAS.

AM I REMEMBERING IT RIGHT? ARE THOSE ARE THE THREE THINGS WE SAID? YEAH.

WE WANTED THE WORK GROUPS TO THINK ABOUT AS TOPICS, RIGHT.

SO THE TOP, THE TOP TOPIC WAS SOCIAL AND PHYSICAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH WITH HOUSING.

THAT WAS THE, THAT WAS THE NUMBER ONE.

UH, AND SO LIKE IN THOSE LENS ORGANIZATIONS, I ALREADY STARTED REACHING OUT TO, OR LIKE THE, UH,

[00:15:01]

SO THOSE DIFFERENT THINGS, I THINK THEY WERE GONNA REACH OUT TO THE CENTRAL TEXAS FOOD, FOOD BANK AND SO FORTH AND, AND SO FORTH.

UHHUH.

THE SECOND ONE WAS, UH, UH, MENTAL HEALTH.

AND WE WERE ALSO LOOKING AT MENTAL HEALTH SLASH UM, OH, UH, UH, UH, UM, USAGE OF, UH, DRUGS AND MEDICATIONS, SUBSTANCE ABUSE, SUBSTANCE ABUSE, MENTAL HEALTH AND SUBSTANCE ABUSE.

AND THEN THE THIRD ONE WAS MORTALITY RATES.

AND THEN IT HAD THE OVERARCHING ACROSS THE WHOLE THEME WAS LOOKING AT, UH, UH, UM, CUSTOMER SATISFACTION.

OH, OKAY.

EXPERIENCE.

THAT WAS GONNA BE THE OVERARCHING THEME ACROSS ALL THREE.

YOU COULD TELL MY MOUTH IS, SO THIS IS GOOD , SO, OKAY.

THANK YOU.

SO NOW THAT WE KNOW HOW FREQUENT, FREQUENTLY WE KNOW HOW WE WANT TO ADDRESS IT ON THE AGENDA FOR DISCUSSION, UM, WE KNOW WHAT THE OVERARCHING THREE TOPICS ARE, THE RECURRING THREE THEME WE'RE GONNA BE THINKING ABOUT AND NEED TO MAKE SURE WHOEVER COMES TO THE WORK GROUPS HAS THAT SAME FOCUS OF IMPACT FROM THE USER, EX USER SIDE OF THE EXPERIENCE.

UM, I THINK YOU ALSO MENTIONED, IS THERE ANY PARTICULAR, ARE YOU NEEDING FROM THE TEAM, ANY PARTICULAR TYPE OF AGENDA OR, UH, ANYTHING LIKE THAT? OR YOU THINK WE'RE GOOD WITH JUST THIS AND LET THE WORK GROUPS FLUSH THE REST OF IT OUT AND COME BACK TO THE COMMISSION WITH HOW THEY WANT TO GO FORWARD? ANY THOUGHTS HERE? DO WE, SHOULD WE DO ANY MORE SPECIFIC GUIDANCE AT OUR LEVEL? OR, OR SHOULD WE NOW SAY, HEY, THAT'S GOOD ENOUGH AT OUR LEVEL THAT THE WORK GROUPS GO AND COME BACK AND TELL US HOW THEY WANT TO EXECUTE? YEAH.

ANY DIFFERENCE? YOU GOT DIFFERENCE ANY, I WOULD, I WOULD SAY JUST LIKE A TEMPLATE FOR AGENDA, BUT WE COULD ALSO LIKE EACH WORK GROUP MAKE ONE ON OUR OWN AND THEN SHARE IT TOGETHER AND SEE WHAT WORKS BEST.

SO LET'S DO THIS.

CAN WE, CAN YOU JUST SHARE A BLANK, THE BLANK AGENDA TEMPLATE TO THE, TO THE THREE WORK GROUPS? UH, AND THEN ALSO I THINK THE WORK GROUPS NEED TO DETERMINE A LEAD.

SO THAT WAY WE JUST HAVE ONE LEAD THAT'S SUPPOSED TO BE CORRALLING WHOEVER, AND MAKING SURE THE MEETING GETS DONE AND CAN ALSO BE THE SPOKESPERSON ADVOCATE, OR IF THERE'S A PARTICULAR TOPIC OUT IN THE COMMUNITY CAN REPRESENT THE COMMISSION, UH, ON BEHALF BECAUSE THEY'RE THE DESIGNATED PERSON FOR THAT WORK GROUP ON BEHALF OF THE COMMISSION.

ANY ISSUES WITH THAT? ALRIGHTY.

SOUNDS LIKE WE GOT THIS ONE DONE.

YEAH, I GUESS THE ONLY THING THAT I WOULD ADD IS, MM-HMM, .

UM, SO WE DON'T FORGET.

WE SHOULD JUST PUT THOSE THREE THINGS SOMEWHERE SO WE ALL KIND OF GO BACK TO IT AND KNOW, OKAY, THIS IS WHAT WE'RE FOCUSING ON NOW.

PROBABLY NEED TO ADD THAT MAYBE AS, UM, AS WE HAVE NOTES ON THE AGENDA, MAYBE THAT'S SOMETHING ADDED IN ITALICS ON THE AGENDA FOR THE WORK GROUPS.

UM, JUST FOLLOWING UP ON THE COMMENT FROM COMMISSIONER LUHAN, IF ANY OF YOU GUYS DO PLAN TO ATTEND TO THAT EVENT, IF IT DOES MEET QUORUM, I DO NEED TO KNOW LIKE HOW MANY OF Y'ALL ARE PLANNING TO GO, UM, BECAUSE I WOULD NEED TO POST AN ANNOUNCEMENT SAYING THAT NO ACTION WILL BE MADE.

SO JUST PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF YOU DO PLAN TO ATTEND.

FOUR, APPROVE THE BUDGET WORK GROUP'S RECOMMENDATION TO ENDORSE THE CITY OF AUSTIN'S JOINT INCLUSION COMMITTEE'S PHYSICAL YEAR 2024.

I'M ALWAYS A LITTLE BIT CONFUSED BECAUSE AS LONG AS WE DON'T DISCUSS COMMISSION TOPICS AMONGST OURSELVES, I THOUGHT THAT WAS AN EXCUSABLE.

WE COULD HAVE A PARTY, WE CAN HAVE A BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION, WE COULD ATTEND A CONCERT.

AND IS IS THAT EVENT NOT SOMETHING LIKE THAT, WHICH IS NOT, NOT A CONSTRUCTED EVENT THAT'S RELATED TO OUR COMMISSION.

IT'S MORE OF A OPTICS.

UM, THAT'S, THAT'S REALLY, REALLY, IT BOILS DOWN TO IT'S MORE THE OPTICS, YOU KNOW, THE NATURAL HUMANISTIC NATURE TO CORRAL AROUND THOSE THAT WE KNOW.

UH, AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN, IF THE DECISION IS MADE THAT ALL OF US VOTE ON, IT'S THE OPTICS.

IT'S BY JUST HAVING THE DOCUMENT SAYING THAT WE'RE GONNA BE THERE.

IT JUST CREATES GREATER TRANSPARENCY THAT WE KNEW WE WERE GONNA BE THERE, YOU KNOW, VERSUS, YOU KNOW, SAYING, OH, WE DIDN'T KNOW.

ALRIGHT.

LET'S, UH, MOVE ON TO ACTION ITEMS. OKAY.
