He stated late last week it was called to attention by a friend of his regarding a Facebook post that had been put forward by Ms. Kathy Ramundt and part of that post was her assertation calling attention to the fact that he has not supported people of color to appointment for city advisory Commissions. She specifically noted that he did not support the appointment of Etienne Djevi and he stated that is factually false. He stated Mr. Djevi's appointment was made unanimously by the Council. He did not recall the last time the Council has had a split vote when it came to Commission appointments. He stated that was something he want- ed to note and make known. It is something that is important and when he is looking to various commission appointments, he seeks to gather and have representation of voices that might be different than the majority. He thought that was something he has strived for. He stated when people go out of their way to make false claims, he felt it was neces- sary to correct them. 5.
