incidents and trainings attended. So for instance in the Franklin Case, there will now be hyperlinks to the crucial public court documents. I also know that there exists training for stress management. We were also thinking about doing something artistic with cops and kids as a sort of stress reliever. Committee Chair Williams-Preston stated, I think that is a great idea. We also have to look at the older kids too and how to engage them whether it be artistic or not. Moving along, I also wanted to look into the Community of Technical Education program and working with those students. They could help repair homes and sidewalks. Also, we could possibly work with Habitat for Humanity. We are also looking at a traffic control plan to approach the speeding that happens through neighborhoods. Lastly, on March 8t'at 6:00 p.m. at Monroe Circle Community Center we will be meeting with a family that owns many convenience stores and having the discussion of how they affect the community and the nearby neighborhood residents. Mr. Duncan stated, I think this is a big issue. I live in a neighborhood that has one of these stores and many of my neighbors do not like it because of the behavior it attracts. It started as a gas station but now there is a lot more going on there and we don't want it. They need to reach out to the neighbors before they move into these neighborhoods. Committee Chair Williams-Preston stated, In terms of action steps, today we mentioned the Citizen Advisory Board that should be talked about more at the next meeting. The Community Relations Committee will meet the first Wednesday of every month, at 6:00 p.m. I also wanted to point out the GVI presentation that happened at the Health and Public Safety Committee. Mr. Mueller stated,Understanding the new administration at the federal level, we are focusing on maintaining the inclusivity in our community. We don't have to be titled a Sanctuary City to operate as such. With no other business to discuss, Committee Chair Williams-Preston adjourned the Community Relations Committee Organizational meeting at 7:04 p.m. ectfully ubmitted, Re ina Williams-Pres on, Chairperson
