Robin Emmons is the new development director. Hayti is an iconic feature of Durham. St. Joseph AME Church was founded by formerly enslaved people, and the building, one of the few survivors of urban renewal, was built 130 years ago. They are having a film
festival, including drive-in showings; the website is </span><a href="https://hayti.org/programming/film/"><span style="font-size:11pt; font-family:Roboto,sans-serif; color:#1155cc; background-color:#ffffff; font-weight:400; text-decoration:underline">https://hayti.org/programming/film/</span></a><span style="font-size:11pt; font-family:Roboto,sans-serif; color:#201f1e; background-color:#ffffff; font-weight:400">.
They will be launching a year-long celebration for the 130th anniversary. Please enlist as an ambassador for the center, think about donating to it, and subscribe to the newsletter. There was a discussion of how systemic racism has related to funding of
cultural institutions. </span></p>

A subcommittee had a lot of calls and produced a 23-page document of comments to the staff-drafted draft objectives. The deadline to submit comments was last Friday so draft comments were submitted (clearly marked as a draft). Watts Hospital Hillandale board
looked at the draft comments, and had a number of comments, mostly editorial, which we could incorporate. Once the goals are adopted, Planning staff will work on the next step, which will have more concrete policy statements; we are just starting the process
of creating the new plan. Tom moved that we approve the document with cosmetic changes (getting out “community policing,” eliminating use of the first person voice, correcting the word “ordinary” and so on), Rochelle seconded. The vote was 10 for, 0 against,
and 4 abstain or otherwise not voting.</span></p>

The committee met with the student assigned from the Duke Law Clinic. They discussed re-definition of “member neighborhoods.” Alisa Johnson, who at one time represented Burch Avenue, said that SW Durham Quality of Life (QoL) is an amalgamation of 6 neighborhoods,
formed to address common issues of their neighborhoods, and would think about joining as a way to get representation for those of their member neighborhoods that don’t have the capacity to join INC on their own. For most of their history, QoL worked on affordable
housing, especially in Lyon Park and the West End. After some initial missteps in talking to the neighborhoods, Duke gave $1M to buy land on which non-profits built affordable housing. QoL also worked on economic development in the commercial corridor and
did celebrations of history and culture. Tuscaloosa-Lakewood has non-voting members, which might be an option as we re-define “membership.”</span></p>
