Approve the Race Amity Day Proclamation for 2020, as included in the packet
L. Anderson moved, seconded by T. Fay, that the Board of Selectmen approve the Race Amity Day Proclamation for 2020, as included in the packet. In discussion, T. Fay noted that he supported the proclamation and was pleased to attend the public demonstration in Wayland last Sunday. He also appreciated the support of the Wayland Chief of Police. T. Fay read an excerpt from Dr. Martin Luther King's 1964 Acceptance Speech, on the occasion of the award of the Nobel Peace Prize. D. Levine echoed T. Fay's comments and added the importance of keeping the conversation active to institute change. M. Antes added that the Congressional Black and Latino Caucus had issued ten actionable steps to combat police brutality and advance racial justice. M.

M. Antes suggested that the Board consider declaration of a public health crisis at a future meeting. L. Anderson stated that the responsibility of civic leaders in Wayland is to model how a small town works to have a community minded police department. L.

She suggested that the Board hold off consideration of the tolerance pledge to a future meeting. C. Karlson noted that we are all affected at different levels including personal, societal, and municipal. L. Miller noted that there are two separate issues: excessive use of force by police is an issue of training and education of police departments; the other issue is of racial and other prejudices. L. Miller added that the Town does have policies in place to address the behaviors of Town employees regarding violence, harassment and standards of conduct. Roll Call Vote: YEA: L. Anderson, M. Antes, T. Fay, C. Karlson, D. Levine. NAY: none. ABSENT: none. ABSTAIN: none. Adopted 5-0.” (Motion: Anderson, second: Fay)
