Summary

After debate over meeting cadence, the Shelby County ad hoc agreed to meet every 60 days and moved — by unanimous consent — to hold the next meeting Nov. 14 at 3:15 p.m.

Committee members debated how often the Racial Equity Ad Hoc should meet. Some members, including Ernest Strickland, recommended spacing meetings to allow organizations to complete substantive work between check-ins; others favored more frequent check-ins during intense planning phases. The chair proposed assigning each "pillar" a presentation date and a 60‑day cadence for regular committee meetings.

Ernest Strickland moved that the next meeting be held Nov. 14; Allen Gumbel seconded. The chair asked for objections and, hearing none, confirmed Nov. 14 at 3:15 p.m. as the next meeting. The committee also agreed that staff will assign presentation dates and prepare a schedule for quarterly reports once grantees receive funding.
