Hello!
I just wanted to make sure folks have the latest version of the Equitable Development Scorecard. Feel free to share. If
you have any questions, don't hesitate to reach out to either myself or Jenn Arens who is also on this email.
More information will come soon about how we as a community should meet to discuss the application of the scorecard
to development projects that are being considered in Walnut Hills.
Sincerely,
Mona J.

NEIGHBORHOODS AND SCORES, CONT.
Median income changes slowly, even in rapidly gentrifying neighborhoods. If that is our only indicator, our efforts to
protect against displacement will come far too late. Our neighborhood might improve physically, but the benefit will
mostly go to wealthy newcomers. We must also take note of changes and circumstances that affect trends in
market investment.
Run through the following list and check any descriptions that apply to
STEP 2 your neighborhood.
! J Dramatic rise in housing costs— rent and home prices in my neighborhood have recently gotten much
higher
I | Significant resident displacement—neighbors of mine have been getting priced out of the neighborhood
' ~j Surge in development projects—there's a lot more construction, renovation, or business growth happening
in my neighborhood recently
I ~~~| Influx of amenities serving high-incomes—there are many new shops, restaurants, and other businesses
that are mostly too expensive for my long-time neighbors
| | Racial shift—most of my long-time neighbors are people of color, but the new folks moving in are mostly
white
| [ Speculation—real estate businesses are heavily advertising my neighborhood, and people describe it as
"revitalized"
If most of these descriptions fit your neighborhood, you're in a hot, gentrifying market, and you need to bump up to
the 75% score level. More investment is coming, and we need to make sure it doesn't leave vulnerable folks behind.
Even if there's lots of low-income affordable housing now, market forces will make it extremely difficult to keep. And
new economic opportunities will have to be targeted specifically where they are most needed.
If this set of criteria doesn't apply to your neighborhood, move on to Steps 3 and 4.
STEP 3 Run through one more list and check what applies.
[ ~~] More moderate change—similar changes to the ones described above are happening in my neighborhood, but
not quite as dramatically
_ Proximity to downtown—from my neighborhood, you can drive quickly and easily to downtown Cincinnati
Renter occupancy— most of my neighbors are renters
Adjacent investment—at least one of the neighborhoods that border mine is either quite wealthy or gentrifying
quickly
; ~| Historic designation—my neighborhood is home to a local or national historic district
If your neighborhood is described by some combination in this list, it is likely starting to transition or gentrify, and you
should bump up one score level from where you started.
STEP 4 Consider other special circumstances.
Your neighborhood might be a special case. Maybe one huge project is on it's way, and you know it's about to change
the game for investment and development. In order to lay the groundwork for a healthy community and equitable city
future, adjustments may have to be made accordingly.

A PRIMER
Conversations about equitable development are springing up all around Cincinnati,

as citizens recognize that private investment in our communities happens unevenly,
NV
and too often at the expense of our most vulnerable neighbors. This project hones
iA in on our city's use of various public subsidies as incentives for private

. ¦ I development. At the heart of the project is the belief that public assets should be
§gp if used for the public good. With this work we hope to:
• Prioritize goals of equity around class and race

• Increase knowledge and transparency of important public processes
• Facilitate creative, empowering work across neighborhoods to establish shared
standards that reflect the inclusivity we desire for our Cincinnati community
• Create a framework that equips citizens to organize for meaningful change in
our local policies and practices
Our city's robust public support for private development is based on
the following assumptions:

y- »«•
t
• Private development brings jobs, housing, tax base, and
economic opportunity to struggling neighborhoods
Mi

• Partnering with the private market is the best way for the city
to acquire enough power to meet its development needs

Where our city government lacks capital, it has a variety of
benefits— zoning variances, fee waivers, public land, tax

abatements, etc.— that are of value to developers. These are
collective, taxpayer-owned assets. If the goal is to leverage these *11

HHH
Part of the problem is that the market develops space unevenly. Cincinnati's current incentives largely subsidize
development in already competitive markets in select neighborhoods, while other neighborhoods continue to
experience disinvestment. If we create a solid framework for assessing projects, communities could use it to
strategically raise the bar according to their needs. For many public subsidies, we are currently asking nothing in return.
There is lots of room to be smart about how we raise our standards if we are confident that we can achieve public
benefits worth the cost. It's also possible that only some projects will yield a worthwhile return for the community; if so,
it makes sense to dramatically reduce the use of public subsidies, reserving them as incentives for equitable projects.
The rubric is designed to be used alongside our Developer Questionnaire, which would prompt developers seeking
public subsidy to share relevant information on the proposed project, the project value of public subsidies sought, and
the expected public benefits and accompanying commitments. Developers could be asked to complete both
documents ahead of interfacing with the public.
COMMUNITY COUNCILS
Our city government recognizes neighborhood community councils
as the official democratic bodies of area representation, and are
tasked with taking their input into consideration. Currently,
developers are only required to seek community council approval if
requesting a zoning variance, a liquor license, or a select few other
MKtmm requests. Councils could use this tool to evaluate this limited pool of
i projects. Councils could also assert more power in development

decisions by appealing to the city (through an official vote) for this to
be the guiding framework utilized by the Department of Community
and Economic Development and City Council when vetting proposed
development in their neighborhood. An organized effort to do this
across a handful of neighborhoods experiencing gentrification or
r r~
high levels of development would go a long way in impacting policy
and creating more equitable practices in our city.

Peaslee is a community center dedicated to participatory education in our urban core. Our work on this project
reflects our belief in the power of civic engagement and social change. Equitable development is not only
possible, but necessary. The collective work of our community people, our city government, and our economy can
find a better way forward— one that is committed to building a fair and inclusive city. As we move forward with
this project, we welcome your thoughts, insight, and expertise, as well as your energy and commitment to action!

EQUITABLE DEVELOPMENT RUBRIC
Cincinnati aspires to be a fair and equitable place to live. This evaluation tool stems from an effort to make sure this goal is
at the forefront of our public decisions about development. It is designed to score proposed development projects by their
contributions toward equity across class and race in our city.
The rubric's 4 main categories form its core. Jobs and Labor and Community Input apply to all projects; Housing Affordabilitv
and Community Footprint are applied based on certain criteria. Each category is scored on a 4-pt scale.
Any project that scores at least 50% of points across all applicable main categories is eligible to earn Extra Credit points,
based on the criteria listed.
This tool is intended for use by a number of different folks— citizens, community councils, developers, and city officials.

DEVELOPER QUESTIONNAIRE

Our goal is to make our neighborhood, and our city, a more equitable and inclusive place to live. In
order to accomplish this, we must invest in affordable housing, good job opportunities, great public

Initial convening of first-ever Children and Families Council
This is and will remain our top priority. We are building the first-ever Children's
Budget and launching a Children and Families Council this fall. We'll soon have a
comprehensive plan, and additional, big moves to improve the lives of all children
and families. After initial reviews of data, and listening to parents and their children,
issues of evictions, quality affordable housing, activities for youth, safety, and jobs
are rising to the top.

My r?ofes from our community budget hearings
In this budget, our ordinance with Council-member Dennard restored funding for our
youth employment program, got human services funding to Council's "1%"
commitment, lifted up efforts to close our unacceptable gaps in health outcomes,
protected our investments in neighborhood revitalization, upped our investments in
2
job creation efforts as well as our critically important winter shelter.
We also joined Council-members Sittenfeld and Mann to create more permanent,
reliable funding for human services and our neighborhoods.
Our budget restoration efforts were successful, and rooted in our commitment to
children and families.
Finally, we successfully moved forward a motion to begin to identify ways in which
the city can provide meaningful tax relief to community-based childcare and
preschool providers. This could make a big difference in helping ensure the
Cincinnati Preschool Promise is able to reach all of the children and families it can.

Meeting the future of our workforce with a commitment to provide more
Better jobs (with higher wages) and supporting workers is key to making Cincinnati
an infinitely better place for children and families.
Thanks to our efforts, we now have a Wage Monitor who will soon be convening a
"Wages and Workers" committee to better support our working families.
We joined our colleagues, particularly Council-member Seelbach, to put in place a
new Living Wage ordinance, requiring our partners to pay a living wage if they
3
receive city funding.
We did the same with job training, and creating ladders out of poverty, through
Council's "Responsible Bidder" ordinance. We've gotten it done while protecting our
minority inclusion work, which is critical.
We supported the Mayor's effort to add 15 new litter positions, while also pushing
for 10 new sanitation workers that are desperately needed.

Hearing from job creators from Mortar
Finally, we fought hard for investments in some of our big job creators: REDI,
Greater Cincinnati Redevelopment Authority ("Port"), CincyTech, Cintrifuse,
Mortar, and the Hellman Accelerator.
Early Results: Strengthening City Hall
We led on major changes to council rules, which passed last month and should bring
greater collaboration and results.
We are also leading on a new partnership with the Mayerson Foundation to strengthen the
culture at City Flail. Council supported this "strengths-based" approach overwhelmingly, for
which we're grateful.
This "Strong Cincinnati" work is underway, and we're optimistic about the long-term
results to how people at City Hall work together.

New City Manager Patrick Duhaney speaking at our 911 call center
We also led on giving citizens a new City Manager in Patrick Duhaney, who has been
focused on results and bringing people together. We will do a national search for a
permanent City Manager, and we have helped to create a collaborative process between
council, the mayor, and our citizens. We must get this right, and do so together.
Early Results: 911 Center, 'Balanced Development', and
Transit
We have to fix our Emergency Contact Center ("91 1 services"), and we've made progress.
For example, we've purchased new technology, are pursuing new training and policies,
and citizens can now sign up for more reliable services at Smart91 1 .com. Major fixes are
also underway, and we've required a weekly update from the City Manager to ensure the
fixes stay at the forefront. We are also working to bring in continuous improvement support
to ensure our 91 1 system runs as well as possible - for every person, every time.
We are working with community leaders and developers on an effort that we call, Balanced
Development, where we continue to attract investments while lifting up and protecting the
citizens and small businesses already here. Look for bold and pragmatic solutions in the
months to come. In the short-run, we are working on efforts to lift up and protect renters
and low-to-moderate income homeowners in the West End.

plagued by malfunctions and low
ridership. The streetcar needs a
leader and a champion whose sole
purpose is focused on optimization

Also, we WILL dramatically reduce congestion at 6th and Main, a major issue for buses
drivers, and the Streetcar, and we'll do it at little to no cost to taxpayers.
Finally, we continue to work with SORTA on what we hope will be a transformation transit
levy that voters will embrace.

acting city manager, the mayor, and our council colleagues to work on this

Important Updates
Children and Families
2
Cincinnati has one of the highest rates of poverty in the country, and far too
many of our children and families are suffering. Many cities have taken
significant steps to better support children and families, through strategic
partnerships, investments, and leadership (usually by way of an Office for
Children and Families). To take meaningful steps toward real action on behalf
of our children and families, Council approved in an unanimous vote for the
Administration establish for Council and the Mayor a "Children and Families"
Budget detailing our current investments in city-funded programs and projects
that directly or indirectly support children and or families.
We also moved that the Administration identify a point person to work with the
Council on the formation of a Children and Families Council. Click here to view
a detailed overview of the council.
Wage Monitor
Cincinnati has passed several wage-related ordinances that are aimed to
protect workers and lift wages. To help assist in this effort, we moved the
administration to designate a Wage Monitor to further ensure our wage-related
ordinances are being adhered to throughout our city, and consider a 1-800
phone number to make it as easy as possible for workers and others to reach
someone who can help. This passed last week and the Administration will be
reporting back in the next month.
Career Training and Responsible Bidder
Part of making Cincinnati an infinitely better place for families is to ensure
people have access to meaningful career training, which is what our city's new
Responsible Bidder program will do. Through Responsible Bidder, projects

Stories from our Constituents:
An Avondale resident reached out about a Water Works project on a
handful of streets in the neighborhood. Waterworks has removed
patches of grass from yards for a lead pipe replacement program, but
with the flooding and other heavy rains, these patches have washed mud
into the sidewalks and streets.
With little information or a timeline for the project, residents were
understandably concerned about the progress and dissatisfied with the
condition of their streets. As a result, our office is working with Public
Services to get more regular street sweeps through the areas impacted
by this project.
We are routinely sending updates to the Avondale Community Council
4
and neighborhood leaders to keep them informed of the ongoing
progress. For more information, reach out to us at (513) 352-5232.

Stories from our Constituents:
More often than not, city fines are obscure. Though the rules and
regulations behind costs and violations are available to the public, they
remain elusive to most people around Cincinnati, and even to our own
office when we first started. In January, a constituent reached out about a
$750 dollar waste disposal violation fine from the city which had no
real transparency in its application.
These fines may come without warning, even when the issue can be
easily resolved. The fact that the cost of some fines is higher than most
Cincinnatians' rent or mortgage signals that the process must change.
9
Our office is now looking for ways to reform this system so that working
families won't be suddenly faced with fines that can easily be avoided.

• Similar to approach used in other cities such as Kansas City

and Charlotte
• Could be an RFP or other competitive approach,

complementary to City's existing bike share program

Phil and Beth:
Hope you're both doing well. Councilman Young and I attended a meeting last week with a coalition of stakeholders in
Avondale, especially stakeholders from the corridor along Reading
Road between MLK and Rockdale. There were probably 40 people in attendance, including many Pastors, whose
churches are important anchors in the community.
Among the requests was the opportunity to set up a meeting with both of you to talk about the future vision for that
corridor. Could you both attend a meeting at 10:00AM on Thursday,
June 14th?

Thanks for letting me and Councilman Young know.

Steve Chabot" s Failure on the Western Hills Viaduct
As local leaders in the Cincinnati area, we were heartened to see infrastructure

take center stage in the campaign for Ohio's First Congressional District. We
were concerned, however, to hear Steve Chabot punt the issue of the Western
l
Hills Viaduct, and abdicate his responsibility to help us with this vital project.
When asked about the repair funds needed for the Viaduct, Mr. Chabot said that it
will have to be done by local authorities.
We appreciate Mr. Chabot's point that local leadership is needed on repairing the
bridge. But let's be clear: local leaders at the city and county have stepped up to
address this issue. Both the county and the city have each committed $33 million
to the project for a total of $66 million pledged by the local government. The state
of Ohio has put in $10 million. City and county officials have stepped up, have
shown leadership, and are working to address the crumbling Western Hills
Viaduct. But we have not had a partner at the federal level. Steve Chabot has
been missing in action.
Mr. Chabot has been in office for over 20 years. That entire time, the Western
Hills Viaduct has been a pressing issue facing the Cincinnati area. There has been
no major construction or repair done on the viaduct since 1 977. A recent report
said the bridge was structurally deficient and failed every major design criteria. At
last inspection, the bridge received a "poor condition" rating, placing it close to
"imminent failure."
Deteriorating bridges put everyone at risk. The viaduct carries more than 70,000
vehicles a day and connects commuters to the region's two largest jobs
hubs. Nothing is more important than getting this fixed.
As city and county officials, we know that. But raising the $335 million needed
to fix the Viaduct will require leadership from our federal partners as
well. Unfortunately, Steve Chabot continues to drop the ball.
This March, the Trump Administration gave federal grants to 41 infrastructure

projects nationwide. Despite being one of the nation's worst shape bridges, the
Viaduct was not selected for these repair funds. A bridge in Akron was selected
for $8 million and a bridge in Kentucky was selected for $8 million. We received
nothing. This was a critical opportunity for the Viaduct to get badly needed
resources. Mr. Chabot failed to deliver.
As local leaders, we submitted a grant application to the federal government to

help secure funding for the Viaduct. Steve Chabot did not partner with us on this.
He did not sign onto the grant. He did not use his influence in Congress to help
our region secure this badly needed funding. This was a time when we needed a
federal champion. Mr. Chabot has had his chance to lead and he has not.
For Steve Chabot, a politician who's been in Washington for 22 years, to say in a
debate that local authorities need to step up and deliver on the Western Hills
Viaduct is utterly misleading. We are delivering. We have stepped up. It is Mr.
Chabot who has failed to secure the federal funding necessary to address this vital
local project. We can only hope that we eventually have a partner in Washington
as committed to fixing the Viaduct as we are.

Thanks for everyone's time on this.
Attached is the motion that Jon Harmon in Chris' office put together. I
added a sentence for each item for further clarity.
The Editorial Board is taking this up today, and there will be a presentation
in Amy's committee tomorrow.
My proposal is to get this out today, and get everyone's signature as soon
as possible. Including Wendell. Maybe even the others.
l
We then get it in the hands of the Editorial Board and key media folks
(Kevin Aldridge, Chris Wetterick, Nick Swartsell, Sherry Coolidge, Jason
Williams, Jay Hanselman, etc.)
I think it's important to stress that:
• We got folks in a room for ONE HOUR and resolved many if not
most of the big issues, and are more than happy to get everyone
in a room again if additional issues emerge. There is no reason
to delay a law, upheld by the courts, when we can resolve any
issues by simply getting folks in a room - which is what we did.
• A delay just delays a solution, which we made progress on in
ONE HOUR.
• We got to work. Others were further dividing our community
with some of the most offensive rhetoric I've seen in politics.
• We can support local workers and minority business at the same
time, and that's what we're doing.
Take a look and make sure we're good, and then let's print on council
letterhead and get signatures.
We can think through who talks to what reporter when, but it should be
within the next 36 hours.
Sound good?
Thanks, all.

Subject: BUDGET
Good Morning Greg,
We at Local 212 and IBI could really use your help. I'm not sure if Gaylord Poe was able to send you this
information so I thought I would. We were blindsided yesterday with the Cincinnati Proposed Budget. Art
Dahlberg, the Director of Buildings and Inspections, included in his budget proposal the elimination of IBI's
(Inspection Bureau) work within the City! From the very beginning of Mr. Dahlberg's arrival in Cincinnati he
has been hostile towards IBI because IBI is a "vendorized inspection service" and does not "fit in" with Art's
view of what his building department should look like. He has no respect for our 130 years of service to the
City, for our work in electrical safety, our relationship with the contracting community, or for our people and
those we serve. The attached file has 3 pages copied from the budget proposal (pages 16, 34, 142). Mr.
Dahlberg is asking for a budget increase of $5,157,920 and expecting an overall increase of 29.6% in revenue
(page 16). That expectation is based on a significant overall increase in building permit and plan review fees
and an expectation (see page 34 and the article below) of $500,00 income in electrical inspection fees by
taking over IBI's business. On page 142 he is asking for $905,410 to "create" an Electrical Inspection
Department and, as is typical of government, the $905,410 to create the department is significantly more
than IBI's GROSS annual fee revenue over the past several years!!
So the "short version" is - this proposal will significantly hurt IBI's, IBEW employees, IBI's office employees,
their business; and will vastly increase City electrical inspection fees and reduce electrical safety in the City
and ultimately throughout the County. This is a bad deal for the City. The City does not need to be in the
electrical inspection business. The men and women of IBI have performed this service efficiently,
economically and professionally for 130 years.

I thank you for your time and any help you can show Local 212,

Subject: announcement tomorrow
Please find attached a piece of legislation from Councilmember Mann, which if successful, will create a permanent, dedicated stream of
revenue in the City Budget for Human Services, as well as for our community councils and the CDC Association of Cincinnati. The Motion is
attached.
We are planning to formally announce this at a press conference tomorrow at 11:00AM at the Center For Addiction Treatment (834 Ezzard
Charles), in the Spaulding Recovering and Family Care building (just next door to the inpatient building).
All are obviously welcome.
A couple things to note:
1) To create this important new, dedicated funding stream, we will obviously first need 6 Members of Council to agree to place it on the
ballot for the voters of Cincinnati to vote on in November, and second to help ensure that the outcome at the ballot is a positive one.
Working together, will be successful.
2) The proposed allocations of the new funding do not represent a ceiling for funding that can go to Human Services and Neighborhoods;
the expectation is that there can and will be supplemental revenue from the General Fund. What it does do however is establish and
enshrine in the Charter a guaranteed floor and ensure that these funds are not pitted against other needs, as happens each budget cycle.
Thanks,
P.G. Sittenfeld & David Mann

MOTION
WE MOVE that the Law Department draft an ordinance for a Charter Amendment to be

funding for United Way administered Human Services and Neighborhoods.

Councilmember PG%#tenfeld * Councilmember David Mann
BACKGROUND
Cincinnati's current Admissions Tax of 3.0% is far below that of some of our peer Ohio cities
(Cleveland, for example, is at 8.0%; Youngstown is at 5.5%; and Monroe - in neighboring Butler
County - is at 5.0%). Moreover, a significant portion of this revenue stream will come from
residents outside the city of Cincinnati, including Kentucky, Indiana, and many Southwest Ohio
suburbs, who while seeking entertainment inside the city of Cincinnati rely on and utilize our
roads, our public services, and our safety forces. Most not-for-profits are and will remain
exempt (including Universities and non-profit theaters). Finally, consideration may be given in
the drafting of the ordinance to having the Admissions Tax apply only to tickets above a certain
cost threshold or to venues above a certain size threshold.
Proposed breakdown of projected $3.6 million in new revenue:
United Way Administered Human Services: $3,000,000
Neighborhood Community Councils NSP Support: $400,000
CDC Association of Cincinnati: $200,000

the path that the City and IBI has historically agreed to follow and considering that long and good

Good morning my friends, I am copying you in on IBI's last statement

concerning meeting with Patrick and Art. Please let me know your thoughts.
I truly believe the Mayor's input is critical. ..especially if he believes council will
back him when he tells Art to stand down. After council and the Mayor made it
plain to you and to IBI during the budget process that they were satisfied with
our arrangement, Art chose to opt out of our contract without their knowledge
and consent. This makes the City look very bad and the public, if informed, will
view this action negatively. I think this is where the focus should remain. ..Art
acted against the will of council and Mayor. I believe this is the stronger
argument.
Additionally, Item 9 of the existing contract (attached) provides "Any matters

or items not covered under the terms of this Agreement, or in the ordinances
of the City, including work, fees, projects, inspections, review, or other matters
may be separately agreed upon by the parties hereto." This section is the
vehicle for dialogue for clarification or to negotiate certain changes ("...other
matters..."). IBI has always been willing to discuss issues and work with the City
under the existing Agreement (which has been around since "the beginning"
in some form or another.) Art, instead of working with Item 9 of the existing
contract, first tried to secretly "do away" with us and when that failed he
opted out of the contract to the surprise of the Mayor and Council. He has
displayed no intention or willingness to negotiate change within the
framework of the Agreement.
A good and fair path would be for him to rescind his opt-out, take a breath,
take some time and put in writing what positive changes he'd like to see and
let the lawyers work it out. Then if an impasse is reached, and neither party
will agree, he can pull that 180-day trigger. A 130 year-old relationship and
friendship between the City and one of its oldest companies at the least
deserves this common courtesy. Hopefully you can convince them that this is
the best path.
Gaylord

Chair Political Awareness Several members of our executive board joined me in attending many
meetings and serving on committees along with several other
Ms. Karen Brown organizations to investigate how a Responsible Bidder Ordinance
Chair Labor Relations (RBO) could improve the opportunities for black young men and
women to not only be employed, but have careers.
Mr. Paul Booth
Chair Business & Corporate
Communications
The RBO was challenged in the Court of Appeals and upheld. It
appears there is another effort to challenge what so many of us
Ms. Carolyn Little worked hard to bring to fruition for the good of the sons and
Chair Crisis Intervention daughters of our community. Why is there such an effort to stop what
very well may be a great path to improve career opportunities and
Ms. Melinda Edwards
increase the wealth of people left behind too many times.
Chair Membership
Pastor Mary A. Wagner

Please do not tell me what will not work when it has not been given an
Chair Ministerial Relations opportunity. The systems that need to be addressed still need to be
addressed. Nothing has solved the issues of a system leaving our
Mrs. Katrina Rugless people behind.
Chair Educational Interactions
Tweak if and when needed. Do not stop what may be a great

Mr. Sean Rugless
opportunity for our sons and daughters to experience another level of
Chair Economic Development
success and wealth.

GREATER CINCINNATI CHAPTER
GCCNAN NATIONAL ACTION NETWORK

March 7, 2018
"OWtlKt A/
Greetings to all,
Bishop Bobby Hilton, Ph.D.
President
Greater Cincinnati Chapter of National Action Network was officially
State Senator Cecil Thomas

established January 5, 2013. One of our very first mandates was to
Vice President look into why we are seeing many construction projects around town
Chair Criminal Justice with few to no African Americans working? We were very concerned
that billions of dollars of work was coming through MSD. We did not
Dr. Horace Withers want our community members sitting on the side watching others
Secretary
make money and wanted to know how we could get our youth better
prepared and trained.
Mr. Sedrick Denson
Treasurer
Chair Political Awareness Several members of our executive board joined me in attending many
meetings and serving on committees along with several other
Ms. Karen Brown organizations to investigate how a Responsible Bidder Ordinance
Chair Labor Relations (RBO) could improve the opportunities for black young men and
women to not only be employed, but have careers.
Mr. Paul Booth
Chair Business & Corporate
Communications
The RBO was challenged in the Court of Appeals and upheld. It
appears there is another effort to challenge what so many of us
Ms. Carolyn Little worked hard to bring to fruition for the good of the sons and
Chair Crisis Intervention daughters of our community. Why is there such an effort to stop what
very well may be a great path to improve career opportunities and
Ms. Melinda Edwards
increase the wealth of people left behind too many times.
Chair Membership
Pastor Mary A. Wagner

Please do not tell me what will not work when it has not been given an
Chair Ministenal Relations opportunity. The systems that need to be addressed still need to be
addressed. Nothing has solved the issues of a system leaving our
Mrs Katrina Rugless people behind.
Chair Educational Interactions
Tweak if and when needed. Do not stop what may be a great

Mr Sean Rugless
opportunity for our sons and daughters to experience another level of
Chair Economic Development
success and wealth.
Ms. Ashlee Young

Chair Health & Wellness Sincerely,
Ms Nikki Williams
Communications Director
Bishop Bobby Hilton, President
