Summary

The committee prepared a presentation for town council and agreed to send the slide deck to staff; Josh advised that councils typically allot about 15–20 minutes and review materials in the packet before the meeting, so a late-September slot is likely if the survey remains open through August.

Committee members reviewed the draft town-council presentation and discussed which slides to keep and who will present. Ashley said Jane’s slide on defining DEIB will need rewriting now that Jane’s committee term has ended, and asked members to provide photos and brief bios for the presentation.

Josh, speaking as town staff, advised the committee that town council typically expects a 15–20 minute presentation followed by questions and that council members receive packet materials several days in advance. "I think what, the town council expects is about 15 to 20 minutes, and then they might have some questions," Josh said. He recommended sending the presentation to the town-council clerk so it can be included in the council packet and noted that a late-September presentation is the most likely slot if the committee waits for August survey results.

The committee asked Ashley to email Josh the presentation and to request consideration for a September date; Josh said individual committee members do not need to attend as a quorum, but that it would be fine for Ashley to present alone with others supporting her.
