THE APRIL 20, 2021 MEETING OF
THE COMMUNITY OF ECONOMIC
DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE WILL COME
TO ORDER.

THANK YOU.
SO, COLLEAGUES, WE HAVE A VERY
FULL AGENDA TODAY AND I WANT TO
RESPECT AND THANK, PARTICULARLY
THE APPOINTEES WHO ARE HERE.
BUT I DO WANT TO SAY THAT GIVEN
THAT THE CHAUVIN VERDICT IS
ABOUT TO BE ANNOUNCED, I THINK
IT'S APPROPRIATE FOR US TO
RESCHEDULE THIS COMMITTEE
MEETING.
WE HAVE A LOT OF IMPORTANT
ISSUES TO DISCUSS, PARTICULARLY
WHEN IT COMES TO REIMAGINING
COMMUNITY SAFETY IN A WAY THAT
DOESN'T CENTER POLICE.
BUT I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT THAT
WE GIVE OUR BLACK NEIGHBORS THE
TIME AND SPACE TO PROCESS THIS
VERDICT, WHATEVER IT IS.
AND SO I AM ADJOURNING THIS
MEETING WITH PLANS TO RESCHEDULE
FOR -- BY THE END OF NEXT WEEK
AT THE LATEST.
WE WILL BE IN TOUCH AS SOON AS
POSSIBLE WITH A NEW DATE.
SO I AM PRAYING FOR JUSTICE FOR
GEORGE FLOYD, AND I AM
ADJOURNING THIS MEETING.
AND I WISH YOU ALL A GOOD
AFTERNOON.
