I WILL MOVE ON TO

PUBLIC HEARINGS.

CONDUCT A PUBLIC HEARING, CONSIDER MAKING A RECOMMENDATIONS FOR THE PY 2024 ACTION PLAN AND PROJECTED USE OF FUNDS FOR ADOPTION BY THE CITY COUNCIL SHERIFF.

AYE.

SO YOU KNOW THAT WE WERE ABLE TO VOTE ON OUR BUDGET ON MAY 28TH.

UM, WE HAVE RHONDA'S COMMENTS HERE, EVEN THOUGH RHONDA WAS NOT HERE WITH US.

SO AS YOU CAN SEE, OUR ANNUAL ENTITLEMENT IS 8 34 8 17 WITH UH, ANTICIPATED PROGRAM INCOME OF $5,000.

THAT IS FOR THE REPAYMENT OF ANY DEMO LIENS OR CDBG HOUSING PROGRAM LIENS THAT COME IN.

WE TYPICALLY ESTIMATE LOW BECAUSE WE CANNOT GUARANTEE THAT PEOPLE ARE GONNA PAY THAT MONEY BACK.

UM, WE HOPE TO GET AT LEAST $5,000.

I DON'T LIKE TO PUT A HIGHER NUMBER ON THERE BECAUSE THEN THAT MAKES OUR BUDGET HIGHER.

BUT IF WE ACTUALLY DON'T PULL IN THOSE FUNDS, THEN WE END UP WITH A SHORTAGE AND WE DON'T WANT THAT TO HAPPEN.

IT DID HAPPEN ONE YEAR.

SO, UM, WITH THAT FROM HAPPENING, I ONLY ESTIMATE $5,000 IN PROGRAM INCOME AND OF COURSE PREVIOUS YEARS ON EXPENDED FUNDS.

WE PROBABLY HAVE A LITTLE BIT MORE THAN THAT AND I DON'T KNOW IF WHAT WE'LL HAVE LEFT OVER FOR THIS YEAR.

BUT THAT'S NOT A BAD THING BECAUSE WE'RE GONNA ROLL THAT INTO OUR HOUSING, UM, PROJECTS THAT WE HAVE COMING UP.

SO OUR TOTAL AVAILABLE IS 9 39 8 17 AND HERE IS A LIST OF ALL OF THE AGENCIES THAT WE WILL BE FUNDING FOR THE UPCOMING YEAR AREA HOMELESS SERVICES IS FOR THE DEMOLITION OF THE MEN'S SHELTER, 34 0 6 WISCONSIN SUBSTANDARD STRUCTURE ABATEMENT, NEIGHBORHOOD IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT HOUSING PROGRAMS. THOSE ARE SOME OF OUR INTERNAL PROGRAMS. BERRY HOMELESS SERVICES OPERATIONAL BRIDGE IS FOR THE CHILDCARE ASSISTANCE FOR THE RESIDENTS OF THE FULLER CENTER FOR INTACT FAMILIES.

BAYTOWN POLICE'S EMERGENCY HOTEL PROGRAM IS TO BASICALLY, UM, ASSIST VICTIMS WITH GETTING OUT OF A BAD SITUATION AND GETTING THEM AWAY FROM THEIR OFFENDERS.

VIRTUAL JOB READINESS TRAINING PROGRAM THAT IS COMMUNITIES AND SCHOOLS PROGRAM.

SO WHERE THEY'RE PROVIDING CLASSES IN EITHER COLLEGE PREPARATION OR JOB PREPARATION FOR AFTER HIGH SCHOOL.

OF COURSE OUR TRANSPORTATION PROGRAM IS FOR THE ELDERLY AND DISABLED IN BAYTOWN DOORSTEP.

BLESSINGS IS FOR HEARTS AND HANDS TO DELIVER, UM, FOOD PERISHABLE AND NON-PERISHABLE FOOD ITEMS TO RESIDENTS OF OUR SENIOR LIVING CENTERS HERE IN BAYTOWN OR TO PEOPLE WHO ARE HOME BOUND.

AND MEALS ON WHEELS OF COURSE IS MEALS ON WHEELS NEW YEAR NEW SHOES PROGRAM.

THAT IS WHERE WE PROVIDE A NEW PAIR OF SHOES FOR ELIGIBLE KIDS THAT UM, LIVE WITHIN THE CITY LIMITS.

AND OF COURSE PROGRAM ADMINISTRATION, WHICH IS FOR THE OVERALL ADMINISTRATION OF ALL OF THOSE PROGRAMS. DO Y'ALL HAVE ANY QUESTIONS REGARDING OUR BUDGETS? ALRIGHT, WELL THANKS.

THERE ARE SOME QUESTIONS I WILL NOW CLOSE IN PUBLIC HEARING.

I'LL NOW BELONG TO

[a. Receive the Community Development Manager's Report.]

YOU HEARING? ALRIGHT, SO THIS IS OUR LAST MEETING UNTIL DECEMBER BOO.

OH WOW.

.

YEAH.

UM, THIS BUDGET

[00:05:01]

YES.

I'LL MAKE 'EM, I'LL MAKE 'EM BOTH.

AND NORMA, DO I HAVE A SECOND? SECOND, SECOND.

SECOND.

OKAY.

ALL IN FAVOR? AYE.

OR OPPOSED ALL.

SO SORRY ABOUT THAT.

SO, UM, WE DO TAKE THIS BUDGET TO COUNCIL ON JULY 25TH.

ON THAT DAY WE'LL ALSO HAVE OUR HOUSING PROGRAMS GUIDELINES THAT Y'ALL APPROVED AT THE NEXT LAST MEETING.

SO, RHONDA, I KNOW YOU WERE HERE.

THAT'S WHERE WE'RE INCREASING THE MAXIMUM CONSTRUCTION COSTS FOR NEW HOMES TO MATCH WHATEVER T-D-H-C-A IS DOING WITH THE STATE OF TEXAS IS DOING RIGHT NOW.

THEIR MAX IS $135,000.

UM, WE'RE IN THE, THE WORDING AND THE GUIDELINES STATES THAT WE'RE GONNA BE IN LINE WITH 10 TEXAS ADMINISTRATIVE CODE, 23 DASH BLAH, BLAH BLAH.

SO THAT EVERY TIME THEY INCREASE THEIRS, INSTEAD OF US HAVING TO GO TO COUNCIL AGAIN FOR PUTTING A DOLLAR AMOUNT, WE CAN JUST INCREASE IT AS THEY DO.

UM, FOR HOME BUYER ASSISTANCE.

WE ARE REQUIRING THAT YOU NOW ARE WORKING WITH A LENDER BECAUSE WE DO HAVE PEOPLE THAT LIKE TO APPLY JUST TO SEE IF THEY WOULD GET APPROVED, BUT THEY'RE NOT ACTUALLY GONNA BUY THE HOUSE.

SO WE GO THROUGH THE WHOLE PROCESS OF PROCESSING THE APPLICATION AND THEN NOTHING COMES OF IT.

AND THEN WE'RE, UM, INCREASING THE MAXIMUM SALES PRICE OF A HOME TO $200,000.

WE CAN'T GO TOO MUCH HIGHER BECAUSE WE KNOW THAT WE ARE HELPING LOW INCOME FAMILIES.

SO WE'RE TRYING TO STAY WITHIN A GOOD RANGE FOR THEM.

WE DON'T WANT PEOPLE TO BUY MORE THAN THEY CAN AFFORD, AT LEAST NOT USING OUR FUNDS.

AND THEN SEWER LINE, WE'RE ONLY, UM, ADDING THE REQUIREMENT THAT YOU CANNOT OWE DEBT TO THE CITY, WHICH IS USUALLY A REQUIREMENT FOR ALL OF OUR PROGRAMS. BUT THE WORDING IS NOT IN THE GUIDELINES.

SO IT DID COME UP TO WHERE WE DID HAVE SOMEBODY APPLY THAT HAD A DELINQUENT WATER BILL AND WE WANNA MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE KEEPING IT STRAIGHT ACROSS THE BOARD.

SO THAT'S GOING TO COUNCIL ALSO ON JULY 25TH, UM, MONICA JUST SENT OUT THREE LETTERS TO PROSPECTIVE HOMES THAT WE WANT TO REBUILD THIS YEAR.

OH.

SO, UM, THAT WILL BE REPORTED IN THIS CAPER SINCE WE'RE STARTING THE PROCESS NOW.

SO WHEN WE DO THE CAPER AT THE END OF THE YEAR, THOSE THREE HOMES WILL BE IN THAT CAPER.

UM, ONE IS ON AVENUE J, ONE IS ON OAK AND ONE IS ON, I FORGOT PINE, ONE OF THE TREE STREETS.

UM, WHERE DO THE TREE STREETS? OAK PINE.

OAK STREET ONE IS OAK.

THAT'S MACHUCA.

YEAH, EL APRIL AND I WROTE 'EM ON MY BOARD.

I CAN'T REMEMBER THE NAME.

NO AVENUE J BUT WE DO HAVE THREE.

SO, UM, WE USUALLY, WE UM, WE DON'T, ALL OF OUR APPLICATIONS ARE DONE ONLINE NOW, BUT WE DON'T MAKE THAT APPLICATION PUBLIC ONLINE TO WHERE PEOPLE CAN SEARCH AND APPLY BECAUSE WE ARE ONLY TRYING TO WORK OFF OF OUR WAIT LIST.

SO WE BASICALLY TOOK THE TOP SEVEN HOMES ON OUR WAIT LIST AND MONICA AND CODY DO THE OTHER STREET.

WHAT'S KNEE OFF.

OKAY.

NOT EVEN A TREE.

SORRY.

AND THAT'S WHY YOU THREW ME OFF.

THAT'S WHY I SAID OAK STREET.

SORRY.

I, I'M MISTAKEN NEIL.

BUT, UM, WE WANT TO WORK OFF OF OUR WAIT LIST.

SO WE LOOKED AT THE TOP SEVEN NAMES, MONICA AND CODY DID A WINDSHIELD SURVEY AND WE PICKED THE THREE THAT BASICALLY LOOKED THE WORST.

SO WE SENT OUT THE, UM, THE LETTER TO THEM LETTING THEM KNOW THAT THE APPLICATION IS GOING TO BE OPEN AND WE HAVE THEM COME IN AND WE DO THE APPLICATION ONLINE WITH THEM.

SO WE BASICALLY HAVE 'EM DO IT.

UM, WE OPEN IT UP JUST WHILE THEY'RE IN THE OFFICE AND THEN WE CLOSE IT AGAIN BECAUSE IF NOT, WE'LL HAVE A HUNDRED APPLICATIONS BY THE END.

RIGHT.

SO, UM, WE'RE HOPING TO HEAR BACK FROM THEM BY JULY 1ST, I BELIEVE WAS THE DATE.

AND THEN WE'LL START TO PROCESS FROM THERE DETERMINING THEIR ELIGIBILITY AND INSPECTIONS AND ALL THAT OTHER STUFF.

UM, SPEAKING OF A HUNDRED APPLICATIONS, WE OPENED UP THE SHOE PROGRAM APPLICATION YESTERDAY, BUT IT WAS NOT POSTED ON FACEBOOK TILL TODAY.

SO YESTERDAY I GUESS SOMEBODY, SOMEBODY WAS JUST RANDOMLY LOOKING FOR APPLICATIONS ON OUR WEBSITE AND FOUND IT AND WE RECEIVED LIKE FOUR OR FIVE APPLICATIONS YESTERDAY.

ONE WAS DUPLICATED, A LADY SUBMITTED TWO APPLICATIONS FOR BOTH OF HER KIDS.

BUT UM, TODAY BEFORE WE CAME OVER HERE, WE WERE CLOSE TO 60 ALREADY TODAY.

WOW.

UM, SO WHAT ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE'RE GONNA DO IS, IS WE'RE GOING TO PROBABLY, UM, TURN IT OFF BRIEFLY SO THAT WE CAN GO OVER ALL OF THE APPLICATIONS WE RECEIVED BECAUSE WE ARE ONLY ABLE TO DO ABOUT 300.

I THINK IT'S 400 VOUCHERS THIS YEAR.

BUT SOME FAMILIES HAVE FIVE KIDS, SOME FAMILIES HAVE ONE KIDS, SOME FAMILIES HAVE SEVEN KIDS.

SO WE HAVE TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE, WE KNOW WHERE WE ARE.

GO IN THERE AND DENY PEOPLE FOR LIVING OUTSIDE CITY LIMITS OR SOMETHING.

MARK THEM AS INCOMPLETE IF WE'RE MISSING INFORMATION AND THEN APPROVE EVERYBODY THAT WE CAN SO WE CAN RUN A REPORT AND SEE HOW MANY VOUCHERS WE'VE ALREADY GETTING READY TO ISSUE SO WE KNOW HOW MANY MORE WE CAN.

SO WE'RE PROBABLY GONNA CLOSE IT WHEN WE COME IN TOMORROW 'CAUSE LORD KNOWS WE'RE PROBABLY GONNA GET 40 MORE TONIGHT.

UM, SO WE'RE GONNA DO THAT TOMORROW WHEN WE COME IN.

ME AND MONICA ARE GONNA CLOSE OUR DOORS AND JUST, AND STEPHANIE HAS RECEIVED, GOD, I DON'T EVEN KNOW HOW MANY PHONE CALLS TODAY

[00:10:01]

SO SHE'S RECEIVED MULTIPLE PHONE CALLS TODAY.

SO I THINK WE WE'RE, WE'RE DOING PRETTY GOOD SO FAR.

OUT OF THE ONES THAT WE'VE REVIEWED TODAY, WE'VE DENIED ONLY LIKE EIGHT AND I THINK LIKE MOST OF THEM WERE OUTSIDE CITY LIMITS AND MAYBE LIKE ONE THAT WASN'T A US CITIZEN.

INTERESTING.

SO, AND THAT WAS IT.

ARE THERE STILL LIKE ANOTHER 12? YES.

12 MORE DAYS.

20 DAYS, YES.

UNTIL THE 30TH.

I THINK 30TH MUCH ALL OF US HERE, WE'RE IN THE, WITH THAT, THAT GRANT MONEY HAS WHAT, A COUPLE YEARS THAT WE'VE DOING AND COULD TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION THAT WE SEE THAT IT'S IMMEDIATELY, YOU KNOW, AFFECTED NEED IS THERE.

THEY TAKE ADVANTAGE AWAY IMMEDIATELY RIGHT AWAY.

SO WE SEE THAT, YOU KNOW, SO THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE MIGHT WANT TO CONSIDER NEXT YEAR.

OH YEAH.

NO, THE NEED IS THERE.

TELL ME MORE.

AND SPEAKING OF, NOT THE YEAR COMING UP, BUT THE YEAR AFTER, SO IT'LL BE THE 25, 20 SIXTH YEAR.

UM, WE ARE PARTNERING AGAIN WITH COMMUNITIES AND SCHOOLS FOR OUR BACK TO SCHOOL FAIR, WHICH WILL BE HELD ON AUGUST 10TH, UM, AND AUGUST 10TH.

AUGUST 10TH.

AND ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I MENTIONED TO MEL DANCY WHO'S THE DIRECTOR OF COMMUNITIES AND SCHOOLS IS UM, IF MAYBE THEY MIGHT THINK ABOUT TAKING OVER THE SHOE PROGRAM BECAUSE IF THEY TAKE IT OVER, THEY CAN ACTUALLY SERVE PEOPLE THAT ARE NOT AMERICAN CITIZENS.

IF WE'RE RUNNING IT BECAUSE WE'VE DIRECTLY RECEIVED THE FUNDS FROM HUD, WE ACTUALLY HAVE TO DETERMINE WHETHER OR NOT YOU ARE A CITIZEN OR LEGAL REVENUE.

BUT BECAUSE THEY'RE GETTING THE MONEY FROM US, WE'RE THE MIDDLEMAN.

THEY DON'T HAVE TO.

SO THEY WOULD PROBABLY BE ABLE TO ASSIST MORE PEOPLE THAN WE WOULD.

I'M NOT SURE HOW MANY WE'RE GONNA DENY BY THE END OF THIS BECAUSE OF CITIZENSHIP, BUT THERE ARE GONNA BE SOME, I MEAN THERE WERE ALREADY AT LEAST LIKE TWO TODAY, YOU KNOW? RIGHT.

SO, UM, I DID MENTION IT AND SHE SAID THAT THAT SOUNDS LIKE IT'D BE INTERESTING.

SO THAT WOULD BE SOMETHING THAT FOR THE NEXT RFP TIME OR WHATEVER, WE WOULD TALK EARLY NEXT YEAR, ME AND HER WOULD TALK AND COMMUNITIES, THE SCHOOLS MIGHT END UP TAKING OVER THE SHOE PROGRAM.

SO YOU DO NEED TO ADD MONEY TO THAT.

IS IT FOR CHILD SERVE MORE? WELL IN THE CURRENT YEAR, RIGHT NOW WE HAVE 20 GRAND.

LAST YEAR Y'ALL DID GIVE MORE MONEY FOR THE UPCOMING YEAR.

I ONLY REQUESTED 15 BECAUSE I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT OUR BUDGET WAS.

BUT THE YEAR AFTER WE CAN DO 20 AGAIN.

YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? SO THAT WOULD BE A GOOD THING.

SO IT'S THE CHILD THAT NEEDS TO VISIT CITIZEN.

EVERY HOUSEHOLD MEMBER, ALL OF YOUR HOUSEHOLD MEMBERS HAVE TO BE AN AMERICAN CITIZEN OR LEGAL.

SO IF YOUR KID IS LEGAL BUT YOU'RE NOT, YOU DON'T QUALIFY.

SO IT HAS TO BE ALL OF THE APPLICANT HOUSEHOLD MEMBERS.

YEAH.

ASK SCHOOL.

IT'S GONNA BE THE BACK TO SCHOOL FAIR IS GONNA BE IN THE COMMUNITY CENTER FROM EIGHT TO 12.

IT WAS LAST YEAR.

8:00 AM TO 12:00 PM WE'LL SEND OUT AN EMAIL PRIOR TO THAT OR WHILE SUPPLIES LAST.

SO WE'LL SEND OUT AN EMAIL PRIOR TO THAT THING.

UNDERSTAND.

AND IT IT SEND IT TO YOU.

I GET SO MANY EMAILS.

IF WE DON'T GET SOMETHING FROM YOU, I'LL JUST STOP BY THE STORE.

YOU PROBABLY REMIND I'M, I'M JOKING CAMERA ABOUT LUNCHTIME, YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? , I GO UP THERE TO PANERA SOMETIMES OR I MIGHT GET SOME SUSHI AT KROGER, SO WHO KNOWS.

BUT UM, IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE Y'ALL CAN THINK OF? SHOES? WE DID A WE HAVE JUST GO THERE.

WHAT DO WE NEED TO TECHX STUFF TO SCHOOL SUPPLIES.

YES.

UM, STEPHANIE, IF YOU WANT TO GIVE HIM A RUNDOWN OF ANYTHING ELSE THAT WE PLAN ON DOING? NOPE.

WANNA GIVE HIM A RUNDOWN OF EVERYTHING ELSE YOU'RE TRYING TO GET DONE FOR THAT? OH YES.

SO FOR THE BACK TO SCHOOL THERE, UM, I REACHED OUT TO ALL THE SPONSOR FROM LAST YEAR AND PEOPLE, UM, FROM LIKE EVENTS THAT WE HAD CARDS, UM, WE HAVE HARRIS COUNTY PUBLIC HEALTH, THEY'RE GONNA BRING THEIR UNIT TO DO TESTING.

UM, SO WE'RE HAVE THAT OUTSIDE.

WE'RE ALSO GONNA HAVE TEXAS CHILDREN'S THEY'RE ON AND UM, THEY'RE HAVE, UM, THEIR PROGRAMS. THEY'RE ALSO GONNA HAVE SALMON, ART AND ROCK.

UM, I REACHED OUT TO MD ANDERSON, UM, ABOUT GETTING APPROVED AND POSSIBLY DOING ABOUT SHOW FOR THE KIDS, UM, TO GO OVER SOMETHING LIKE PUPPET, UH, SHOWS, UM, FROM DIFFERENT ART AGENCIES AND ORGANIZATIONS, TALK ABOUT HEALTH, ALL THAT STUFF.

UM, WE HAVE SO FAR LIKE IN BACKPACKS THAT PEOPLE HAVE DONATED OR HAVE SAID THEY'RE GONNA DONATE LIKE ABOUT 50.

AND THEN IN MONEY ACCOUNT SO FAR WE HAVE 7,000.

YEAH.

SO WE'LL HAVE A LOT OF VENDORS AND THEN WE'RE ALSO PARTNERING, PARTNERING WITH COMMUNITIES AND SCHOOLS.

SO THEY'VE ALSO GOT, THEY'RE GONNA BRING THEIRS, UM, WHICH I KNOW WITH THEM IT'S GONNA BE LIKE THESE , HEALTH NUTRITION, , UM,

[00:15:02]

IT'S JUST THE BASIC SUPPLY STUFF.

AND DO YOU, I KNOW YOU HAVE A NUMBER.

WOW.

AND THEN WE HAVE SOME, WE HAVE LEFTOVERS ABOUT 175 BACKPACKS.

WOW.

WE ACTUALLY HAD SOME LEFT.

THEY WERE THE, THE, THERE WERE TONS VERY PLAIN ONES.

YOU KNOW, THE PLAIN ONES WERE WHAT WAS LEFT OVER.

YEAH.

SO IF PEOPLE ARE GOING TO, UM, I WOULD RATHER PEOPLE BUY BACKPACKS AND GIVE THEM TO US, BUT I ALSO DON'T WANT THEM TO BUY THE PLAIN ONES BECAUSE THAT'S THE ONES THAT WE END UP LEFT OVER WITH.

YOU KNOW ABOUT PLAIN, THERE'S NO, THERE'S NOTHING ON IT.

I MEAN IT LOOKS LIKE IT'S, IT LOOKS LIKE IT'S WITH FAMOUS PEOPLE.

NOT EVEN THAT.

THEY'RE JUST VERY PLAIN.

THEY'RE SOLID BLUE OR SOLID PINK.

THOSE ARE THE ONES THAT ARE LEFT.

NO, THERE'S NO GRAPHICS OR NO ART.

THEY DON'T SEEM LIKE IT'S THE BEST QUALITY.

I'M SO PROUD OF YOU.

THAT CROWD LEAVES AND THEN YOU CAN SOME OF THE OLDER KIDS, THEY'RE SMALLER TOO THOUGH.

THEY'RE LIKE SMALL ONES.

THEY WERE PURCHASED ON AMAZON AND THEY CAME WITH LIKE THE SCHOOL AND ALL THAT.

SO, SO IT ALSO ALSO 'CAUSE THE PLAIN ONES, THEY WERE OFF BRAND.

SO LIKE THE BRAND IS JUST LIKE HIGH SCHOOL KID WANTS TO GO.

THAT'S RIGHT.

THEY THEY WANT LIKE A JANSPORT.

MM-HMM.

SHE WANTED MY DAUGHTER TO GET A JANSPORT.

I HAVE TO BUY HER A NORTH FACE'S PUSHING.
