Approval of January 17, 2017 Minutes: Coulter moved to approve the minutes; the motion was seconded by Willis. A vote was taken and the motion passed 6-0. (Adams and Falk were not present for the vote). Social Justice and Racial Equity Grant Applications: The City of Iowa City Parks and Recreation Department withdrew its application. (See attached late hand out for Human Rights Commission meeting, dated January 25, 2017). All applications submitted for FY17 can be viewed on the City Council's Social Justice and Racial Equity Initiative webpage under the link City of Iowa City's Social Justice & Racial Equity Grant: Applications submitted for FY17 or at http://www8.iowa- city. org/webl ink/0/edoc/1568028/S u bm issions%20for%20SJ R E%20Gra nt%20Fund ing%20for% 20FY%2017. pdf. Hanrahan asked for clarification on the term "salary" as the terms of the grant prohibit funds to be used for salaries. Bowers responded that "salary" should be interpreted as employees of the organization. Salary should not be defined to include "other professional services" for example, if an organization contracted with a professional to provide services. The Commission started the discussion with the two applications they were unable to discuss at the meeting on January 17 due to time restrictions. Iowa Legal Aid Cohen asked whether Iowa Legal Aid has done this activity before. Hanrahan thought the outcomes were a little ambiguous. Kutzko was not sure if the request included salaries. Ghoneim noted that the organization is asking for a modest amount and provides legal advice and legal services to the community. Falkner arrived 5:31. Adams arrived 5:41. United Action for Youth Hanrahan recused herself from the discussion citing Conflict of Interest (employed by United Action for Youth). Ghoneim believes that theater is very important but raised concern that the application is requesting funding for staff salaries. Cohen also noted the concern about paying salaries. Willis loved the idea and thinks it is creative but was unsure how the proposal would accomplish the goals it had in mind. Kutzko thinks that presenting social issues in this type of platform can really have an impact. The Commission directed questions to both Sankofa Outreach Connection and Inside Out Reentry, Inc. The two applicants who did not have representation present at the meeting on January 17. Sankofa Outreach Connection Hanrahan mentioned she felt the application was ambiguous as to how many members the organization actually has currently. Ghoneim noted that the organization has been around for a little less than a year. Kutzko believes there is a strong need for these types of activities in the community. Inside Out Reentry, Inc. Commissioners asked a few questions to the representative including hours of operation. After the application review ended, each Commissioner provided Bowers with their numerical ranking for each applicant with 1 being the highest and 8 the lowest. The applications were then ranked overall from highest points received to lowest. United Action for Youth's points were divided by seven and not eight to note that Hanrahan recused herself from the consideration of that application. The ranking is listed below along with the amount requested by each applicant. 1. Inside Out Reentry, Inc. ($3000.00) 2. Iowa Legal Aid ($2200.00) 3. Johnson County Affordable Homes Coalition ($2500.00) 4. City of Iowa City, World of Bikes, and Iowa City Bike Library ($3250.00) 5. Sankofa Outreach Connection ($13,500.00) 6. United Action for Youth ($7,456.00) 7. Successful Living ($25,000.00) 8. Center for Worker Justice of Eastern Iowa ($17,400.00) Budgetary considerations were discussed after a majority of the Commission had agreed on the ranking order for the applicants. Commissioners discussed funding organizations at an amount less than what they requested and whether that would be sustainable for those organizations. Coulter moved to recommend to the City Council that the five highest applicant scorers be funding at their requested amount; the motion was seconded by Willis. The motion passed 8-0. Adjournment: 6:45 pm.

Andre' Wright Mentor Connector Iowa City Area Development Group icadgroup.com awright64icadgroup.com <jason-sole Flyer.jpg> <Services Provided for Educators and Practitioners.docx> <FY17 Funding Form.pdt> <Resume.docx> As a criminal justice educator, who has served as adjunct as well as assistant professor since 2009, I have a valuable perspective on the global movement taking place. My leadership during the Minneapolis Fourth Precinct Occupation, which lasted 18 days, has been covered widely in media outlets like Los Angeles Times, New York Times, Washington Post, and CNN. I even asked Bernie Sanders a critical question concerning voter disenfranchisement, which has caused many practitioners to examine the impact of collateral consequences post - incarceration. Beyond my activism (currently serving as President of the Minneapolis NAACP) and academics, I've had my own struggles within the criminal justice system. As a three -time convicted felon, as well as a former gang leader, I have been able to shift paradigms throughout the nation. My memoir, From Prison to Ph.D.: A Memoir of Hope, Resilience, and Second Chances, is connecting 201 S Equal Iusuce with juvenile and adult readers in A%vard &6p e.a. correctional facilities, mental _ — health service providers as well as clients, criminal justice students and .r professors, and many more. I have been fortunate enough to help L thousands of people across the country with my presentations and trainings focused on resilience. Services Provided: Lectures (i.e., Dismantling the School -to -Prison Pipeline); Speeches (i.e., Motivational, Keynote); Specialized Training for CEU's or CLE's (i.e., Gangs, Council for Boys and Young Men, Race and Criminal Justice, Fair Sentencing); and Consultation (i.e., Leadership Development, Diversity Concerns in the workplace). Outcomes: Cost-effective training and consultation has led to crime -reduction and lowered recidivism rates; Increased exposure to positive publicity for agencies; Created opportunities to build stronger community relationships; and developed students and staff members as leaders in the criminal justice system.

"Through the African American Civil Rights Grant Program, we're helping our public and private partners tell unique and powerful stories of the African American struggle for equality in the 20' Century," National Park Service Acting Director Michael Reynolds said. Congress appropriated funding for the new NPS African American Civil Rights Grant Program in zoi6 through the Historic Preservation Fund (HPF). The HPF uses revenue from federal oil leases on the Outer Continental Shelf to provide assistance for a broad range of preservation projects without expending tax dollars. States, Tribes, local governments, and non-profit organizations, including Historically Black Colleges and Universities, applied for a broad range of planning, preservation, and research projects for historic sites associated with the Civil Rights Movement and the African -American experience. The competitive grant program is funding 39 projects worth $7,75o,000, including surveys, documentation, interpretation, education, oral histories, planning, and bricks and mortar preservation. Projects receiving grants include those that will educate about and preserve resources like Rosenwald Schools across the nation, Civil Rights struggles at Sixteenth Street Baptist Church in Alabama and Central High School in Arkansas, women that fought for civil rights like Modjeska Simkins in South Carolina, and figures like Oscar DePriest, Emmett Till and Martin Luther King, Jr. -More- Statewide surveys to find stories and sites that are not well known will be funded in Michigan, Rhode Island, Ohio, Maryland, Idaho, District of Columbia, California, and New York A 2oo8 National Park Service study, Civil Rights in America. A Framework for Identifying Significant Sit served as the principal reference for determining the eligibility of proposed projects for the grant program.

Friday, April 7, 2017 8:30am-4:30pm Sheraton Iowa City Hotel Equity and inclusion are values of critical importance across Iowa. Many current inequities are sustained by legacies, structures, and systems that repeat patterns of exclusion. Consider how schools are funded and the relationship between racial and economic segregation in housing. These historically -based systems and structures perpetuate resource and opportunity gaps that ultimately show up as achievement gaps. Clearly, we have not achieved a "post -racial" society, and although there is a strong relationship between race and class, simply talking about class is not enough. Defining and addressing racial inequities while maintaining a class-conscious awareness will maximize positive impacts on both race and income inequities. Local and regional governmental bodies have the ability to implement policy change at multiple levels and across multiple sectors that can drive larger systemic change in jobs, housing, health, education, and the criminal justice system. This all -day conference that focuses on racial equity is a must for government staff, elected officials, educators, and anyone who cares about creating positive change. The conference will be led by the Government Alliance on Race and Equity (GARE) a national network of government working to achieve racial equity and advance opportunities for all. GARE is a joint project of the Center for Social Inclusion and the Haas Institute for a Fair and Inclusive Society. Register at https:Hadvancingracialeguity-ia.eventbrite.com. Early Bird registration is $30 per person. After March 24, registration increases to $45. A limited number of scholarships, full or partial, to fund attendance for persons with financial need are available. Registration ends March 31. There will be no onsite or walk-in registration. If you are employed by the City of Iowa City or the City of Dubuque email stefanie- bowers@iowa-citv.ore to register for the conference. Conference Objectives Increase understanding of racial equity and why it matters. Gain a common understanding of racial equity, explicit and implicit bias, and individual, institutional and structural racism. Introduce new skills, including use of a racial equity tool, inclusive outreach and engagement, and communicating about race and equity. Presenters include Julie Nelson, Executive Director for the Government Alliance on Race and Equity and a Senior Fellow with the Haas Institute for a Fair and Inclusive Society at the University of California, Berkeley. http://www.racialeguityalliance.ore/. Jesse Villolobos, Coordinator of Policy and Advocacy for the Center for Social Inclusion. Jesse's former roles include leading regional policy and programmatic efforts at the National Conference for Community and Justice and heading social justice initiatives at The New School. https://www.centerforsocialinclusion.org/. Dr. Raintry Salk, Research Analyst for the Metropolitan Council in St. Paul, Minnesota. Dr. Salk's most recent research focused on park use among selected communities of color. The Metropolitan Council conducted over 20 focus groups with people of color to explore underlying barriers and issues that produced disparate impacts. The recommendations that were gleaned from the sessions were qualitatively analyzed and used to inform policy development. https:Hmetrocouncii.ore/.

American taxi company notified Mr Gasemiseed not to drive with American taxi any more as well. • The city clerk did not revoke or stop the taxi's license for Mr;gasemelseed therefore, he has the right to hire any other driver to drive his taxi until he get his badge in the future. • The city attorney doesn't have any evidence that American taxi allowed Mr:Gasemelseed to drive with American taxi but the city attorney assuming or imagining that. Mr.Gasameseed provided three documents purporting to show his "taxi cab income for the months July, August and September. I signed with him after he signed before me. He told me this income according to his timesheets. I personally seen others drives drove his taxi sometimes on the game days. The income was reasonable for taxi income on the football games session I have never ever seen Mr.Gasamelseed drives his taxi with the passengers inside his taxi no other driver reported to me that Mr.Gasmelseed driving American taxi cab with the passengers .Mr.Gasamelseed owns the taxi since 2015 he has the key and he lives in Penton Drive which is far from the owner of the company. The city clerk withdrew Mr.Gasmelseed badge however the city clerk did not withdrew his taxi's decal ( taxi's license) from him therefore Mr. Gasmelseed has the right to hire any other drivers to drive for him and this exactly what was happened on this case to generate income to support his family and his children the regulation not prohibit him to do that. If the City Attorney and city Clerk and both they know this facts and Mrs.; Julie knew that and she didn't even explained to the judge in the court room_ City attorney and SSgt>Frank took it personally and both run after my company for years to get rid of it and this is consider discrimination , racism I and haleness only I believe Sgt. Frank know me very well for many years. He came to my apartment more the fifteen times to handle me some cations. Last two citations he came to my house three times in one day asked my family that he want to see, just to hand me the cations. Also Sgt.Frank last year called me on the company's phone, before we answer the phone, the line cut off. After two minutes Sgt.Frank knock my door, my wife opened the door and he said " I called the company phone twice nobody respont ". My wife tld him that was not true she told 1 COPY LI think he let him go home after five hours. Next day I met with this diver and he told me there sexual assault accusation. On the next day two FBI came to my apartment and requested the list of all American taxi drivers, I gave them the list of all American taxi drivers. FBI began to visit all these drivers in their homes humiliated them in front of their families such as stand up ,open your mouse or take your shoes off and another humiliation not related to the sexual assault. Sometime.FB1 come to my apartment 3:00 AM and knock the door asker another list of the drivers. This investigation continued for two weeks. One night teeny police officers stopped all American taxi drivers at midnight still they believe the suspect works with American taxi. The discerption of the suspect was none a white person only, there no any other information from the victim. The Fib search all the American taxi vehicle as well one day the police after two or three months the FBI caught the suspect works with another company called Sunrise taxi cab company owned by Vietnams person and the suspect I believe was mentally ill he use to touch the victims after she reached to her destination and scare her by running after her. Despite I told the FBI that no one off my driver can do that and I told them this suspect is definitely mentally ill but the FBI did not believe me and they treat me personally as a suspect person despite I was disable person. After three month the report of the investigation come out that investigation was a 200 hours Despite 1 have BSc degree in law, two associated degrees as a legal assistant and a master degree on business( MBA) but still I love my job as a taxi driver in Iowa city . I drive a taxi for almost ten year but the city clerk, the city attorney and Stg.Frank they do not want to leave me alone and instead of encourage small business to grow up and support it financially they trying to destroy my business by issuing me more than 16 citations all of them unjustly citations each citations a least cost me $185.00.the only reason because I imposed and I stand against this regulation because i believe this taxi regulation unjustly for small business and the taxi business now is completely dead especially after Upper inter the marketed free campus buses and free nite ride we struggle to pay our monthly premium for the insurance . I know the City attorny and Stg.Frank have influence upon the city manager but I will submit my problem to alla (my GAD) who will take care of me because Gad hates injustice action.

Since that time it is my understanding that you have worked with the City Clerk's Office to establish better internal processes that will ensure timely receipt of future City of Iowa correspondence. Given this circumstance and given the decal has since been returned, I have reconsidered my decision to revoke American Taxi Cab's business license. The City Clerk shall reinstate the business license for American Taxi Cab once all enhanced communication processes and internal controls have been created to the satisfaction of the City Clerk's Office. Iowa City regulates the taxicab industry to protect the health, safety and welfare of residents and visitors to the community. It is imperative that license holders fully understand and adhere to the regulations set forth in the City Code. Further, it is critical that license holders are attentive and responsive to communication that comes from the City. In the instance that gave rise to the revocation, an uninsured vehicle continued to provide taxi services to the public. Vehicle insurance is a very important requirement under the City Code, and it is the responsibility of the taxicab company, not the vehicle owner, to maintain insurance on all vehicles at all times. Thank you for your understanding of the seriousness of this matter and for taking the steps necessary to ensure future compliance with all City regulations. Should you have any questions about your responsibilities as a license holder, the City Clerk's Office will be happy to assist you.
