▶ 1:08:32 Speaker 4: and one absent thank you all very much for that
▶ 1:08:36 Speaker 1: next up is committee action for the SMART goals this is how I propose that
▶ 1:08:46 Speaker 1: that we proceed what we do every year is once we adopt the SMART goals we come up
▶ 1:08:51 Speaker 4: with action steps or action items that directly speak to the implementation of
▶ 1:09:02 Speaker 1: our plan for achieving these goals and what I would like to do this year with
▶ 1:09:10 Speaker 1: leave of the committee is to open the floor for those who might be interested
▶ 1:09:18 Speaker 1: in working to develop action steps for each of the particular smart goals and
▶ 1:09:26 Speaker 1: with the aim of presenting those to the committee for review and approval at our
▶ 1:09:31 Speaker 4: October 15th meeting so let me kick kick this off if I may the first SMART goal
▶ 1:09:38 Speaker 1: is with regard to working collaboratively with other elected boards
▶ 1:09:50 Speaker 4: and officials in the city in terms of onboarding and establishing providing lines of communication and establishing roles and responsibilities that's certainly something as chair of the committee I would be interested in pursuing and working on whether alone or with others I would be happy to see
▶ 1:10:09 Speaker 4: someone else to that as well likewise again for me the piloting of a new superintendent evaluation process which is our third smart goal that's something I'd be happy to work work on and then under the overarching goal of community collaboration we have a community engagement smart goal again that's something I'd certainly be interested in working on but again with all of these you know I'm happy to defer to the committee and share some of the load on these with that said any comments questions don't all rush the stage at
▶ 1:10:58 Speaker 6: wants mr. some when you say take them on is there a specific action item they're
▶ 1:11:07 Speaker 1: associated with that's a very good question that's a very good question
▶ 1:11:13 Speaker 4: this is not intended as a trap for the unwary first first step if we can assign
▶ 1:11:21 Speaker 4: these to various committee members for the purposes of drafting proposed action
▶ 1:11:28 Speaker 4: items for each not necessarily by raising one's hand this evening to
▶ 1:11:37 Speaker 4: undertake that work either alone or with another committee member one is not necessarily saying not only am i drafting these action items or action steps but I will carry them through and I think that's what you're getting at so
▶ 1:11:49 Speaker 6: So if I may, to be clear, apologies if I infringe upon your time. So what you are asking for us is who is going to take on writing the action items in relation to?
▶ 1:12:04 Speaker 1: That's exactly right. And notwithstanding my disclaimer to the contrary, if one is interested enough in a particular
▶ 1:12:14 Speaker 4: SMART goal that one, again, perhaps in concert with another committee member, is willing to undertake the drafting of action items or action steps uh it would be terrific if that
▶ 1:12:26 Speaker 4: same person or persons would be interested in being responsible for overseeing them over the
▶ 1:12:33 Margaret Raymond Driscoll: course of the year mr please um i would be very interested in working on number one with our newly elected officials and helping to the extent that they are interested in collaborating on onboarding and on number five equity social justice and trauma-informed practices would be primary interests of mine although I am happy to do whatever is most supportive of the committee
