could be a problem but affordable housing after consulting with her i'm not as i said i support her serving on the cac as well i have no objection >> i want to correct for the record it's karen agency others i flying fully support and i want to thank this members to be here for this item i appreciate it very much. my questions or comments for the board. commissioner mendoza-mcdonnell. you had a quick question with regards i'm appreciative to everyone who is trying to do this i'm curious on the make up of the ethnicity of cac members and the representatives we'll have from almost all the ethnic

itself. i know the goal of the cac is to be more diverse may i see it, sir? what's the current make up. and there was a number of charts that were attached to the document we're given to the board lecture i believe it is was. and i could read off you have to said we have only 17 members 0 so it's impossible strategically to cover everything accurately to represent the distinct we've been working on it over the loose two weeks the qualifying disability >> i've read the chart it has the krab children. >> yes. i understand we're to

represent. >> i have no opposition i was wondering so this is the membership the ethnic it of the members i wonder how to relates to our students that are special needs special ed is it a similar make up. i'd like to is that all groups are repealed by the composition of the parents we have an overall representation of the african-american and a special education higher portion and the highest proportion of our cac, you know, members is white so i would say based on what tony explained the small number has something to do with the small percentages not as equal by the

way, we're recruiting diversity all the time and have lots of attendees that are not attending but represent the children and how many of the 17 members are african-american or latino? >> members or children. >> members of the cac that's what we're approving. >> are african-american or latino that's what we are approving. >> so as i would show up as a caucus e caucasian children even though i have 3 african-american children. >> so in this already talks about the children i'm talking about the parents. >> can we get back with you on the data and check on that. >> if you're collecting the

information we ask the parents to tlilts the ethnicity of their children. >> so we can check on that and get back to you. >> i know of one african-american parent that's present tonight that's our newly effected chair which is kilogramly we have families about have multi racial combinations and represents lati latino. >> hi i'm dementia bra i'm a native american and have two children that autism.

>> i am not trying to be offering ivy think that our african-american students and latino i'm trying to balance the concerns and needs of the multi ethnicity and i appreciate the chair is african-american i appreciate you have children that are african-american i'm trying to get a sense of the african-american members the 17 members what that looks like. >> commissioner norton. >> i want to remind the board we have been in the rules committee we've been talking about getting the board in line with the ethnicity you have appoints including the cac if

you have my concerns about the groups of the cac i have the boilth to appoint people to the cac and those volunteers i mean, i feel a little bit defensive on their 0 on behalf of i'm saying i think what gets lost and been conveyed to me and in front of the of the board their service and their volunteer time is somehow discounted by color of their skin and that's not what i'm asking. >> if we have ray a problem of the board when w with our representation the rules of law committee says we want to be in line and we'll appoint whoever he want. >> you're putting
