[00:00:01] I'LL NOW CALL THIS [ CITY OF BAYTOWN NOTICE OF MEETING   COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT ADVISORY COMMITTEE TUESDAY, MAY 19, 2026 5:30 P.M. HULLUM CONFERENCE ROOM, CITY HALL 2401 MARKET STREET, BAYTOWN, TEXAS 77520    AGENDA    CALL TO ORDER AND ANNOUNCEMENT OF QUORUM  ] COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT ADVISING COMMITTEE MEETING TO ORDER TODAY BEING TUESDAY, MAY 19TH, 2026, TIME BEING FIVE 30, UM, PM THE FIRST ITEM ON THE, UM, THE AGENDA, EXCUSE ME, IS CITIZENS' COMICS. MS. SHARON, DO WE HAVE ANYBODY SIGNED UP TO SPEAK? NO, SIR. NO. THERE BE NO ONE ELSE THIS HONOR TO SPEAK. THIS CONCLUDES THE CITIZEN'S COMMENT PORTION OF THE AGENDA. I WILL NOW [a. Discuss updates to the Rules of Procedure, including those pertaining to; the committee chair, code of conduct, and the placement of items on the agenda.] MOVE ON TO ITEM CA. UM, DISCUSS UPDATES ARE THE RULES OF RECEIPTS, INCLUDING THOSE PERTAINING TO THE COMMITTEE CHAIR, CODE OF CONDUCT AND THE PLACEMENT OF ITEMS OF THE AGENDA. MR. SHE, SO BACK IN 2022, WE ACTUALLY UPDATED THE COMMITTEE'S RULES AND PROCEDURE. AND THAT'S BASICALLY, UM, HOW MEETINGS ARE CONDUCTED, HOW BUSINESS IS HANDLED AND THE EXPECTATIONS FOR ALL PARTICIPANTS IN MEETINGS. AND THAT INCLUDES STAFF, CITIZENS AND BOARD MEMBERS. SO MAJOR FOCUS OF THE DOCUMENT IS, UM, PROFESSIONALISM, RESPECT, AND ORDERLY BEHAVIOR BY COMMITTEE MEMBERS, STAFF AND CITIZENS. COMMITTEE MEMBERS ARE REQUIRED TO PRESERVE ORDER AND DECORUM, AVOID INTERRUPTING PROCEEDINGS AND FOLLOW ESTABLISHED MEETING ROOM. SO BASICALLY THE LEGAL DEPARTMENT IS REVIEWING THE RULES OF PROCEDURE FOR ALL OF THE COMMITTEES WITH, UH, THROUGHOUT BAYTOWN THROUGHOUT THE CITY. AND THE LEGAL DEPARTMENT EMAILED ME A COUPLE WEEKS AGO, EMAILED ME AND MARTIN, UM, LETTING US KNOW AND SENT US SOMETHING AND I WAS LIKE, OH, WELL WE ALREADY HAVE SOME. SO I SENT THEM WHAT BASICALLY I TOOK UM, THE WORD DOCUMENT AND I DID A COMPARISON ON THEM. AND IT'S ACTUALLY NOT VERY DIFFERENT. IT'S REALLY JUST THE WORDING. KIND OF LIKE THEY MIGHT SAY MEMBER, I THINK I HAVE COMMITTEE MEMBER, YOU KNOW, THEY MIGHT HAVE VICE CHAIR, I HAVE CO-CHAIR, YOU KNOW, IT'S NOTHING HUGE. SO, UM, BUT IT DOES EMPHASIZE A LOT OF THE RULES OF PROCEDURE DOES EMPHASIZE ROBERT'S RULES OF ORDER. SO JUST FOR FUN, I PRINTED Y'ALL JUST A LITTLE CHEAT SHEET ON ROBERT'S RULES OF ORDER SO THAT Y'ALL CAN JUST LOOK IT OVER. UM, BECAUSE A LOT OF WHAT GOES ON IN MEETINGS LET'S, UM, HAS TO DO WITH ROBERT'S RULES OF ORDERS. AND ONCE WE DO HAVE, I WANTED TO JUST DISCUSS IT WITH YOU TODAY AND ONCE WE DO HAVE A FINAL DOCUMENT, THEN WE'LL BE ABLE TO VOTE TO ADOPT IT AND THEN IT'LL GO TO COUNCIL FOR ADOPTION. DO Y'ALL HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THAT? CAN I KEEP THAT? YEAH, NO, I WANT YOU TO GIVE IT BACK. WRITE IT ALL DOWN. I'VE BEEN WANTING, I'VE BEEN WANTING TO LEARN THESE. THAT ONE MY CHILDREN, THE ACTUAL BOOK IS WITH THEM AND WE'RE GONNA GO BY ROBERT. WELL I CAN SEND YOU ONE WITH ALL THE FANCY WORDING. I GAVE THAT TO MARK SO I CAN THAT. WHO IS ROBERT? UH, SOME BRITISH GUY. OH, OKAY. I WAS JUST WONDERING WHO ROBERT WILL, DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT. OKAY, THANKS. . HE WROTE HE'S SOME BRITISH GUY. YEAH, HE WROTE THE RULES, BRO. YES. HE'S BEEN AROUND FOR A WHILE. A VERY LONG TIME. IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING, WE DON'T, WE DON'T IN PUBLIC, UM, COMMITTEES FOLLOW ROBERTS RULES OF ORDER TO THE LETTER BECAUSE IF WE DID WE'D BE IN LAWSUITS ALL THE TIME. 'CAUSE IT'S EXTREMELY LONG AND DETAILED. AND IF YOU DON'T FOLLOW IT TO THE LETTER SO WE DON'T FOLLOW ROBERTS RULES OF ORDER, WE USE IT AS A GUIDE. OKAY. THAT'S WHY I DIDN'T GIVE YOU LIKE A WHOLE BOOK ABOUT IT. IT'S JUST KIND OF LIKE, JUST A LITTLE OVERVIEW ON IT. SO ARE WE DOING OKAY IN THIS COMMITTEE OR ARE WE NOT? YEAH, WE'RE DOING GOOD. IT'S LEGAL IS JUST DOING THIS FOR ALL OF THE BOARDS. SO LIKE FOR THE HOUSING AUTHORITY BOARD, Y'ALL MIGHT BE, I COULD WATCH LIKE A WHOLE VIDEO AND TAKE A QUIZ AND EVERYTHING ABOUT ALL OF IT. REALLY? YEAH. EW. YEAH. . ALRIGHT, WE GOTTA MAKE A VIDEO. KIM WANTS A QUIZ, HUH? VIDEO FROM THE NOT MULTIPLE CHOICE. SHORT ANSWER QUESTIONS. OH, THAT'S THE OPEN IT WHEN CITY CLERK, THAT'S THE OPEN MEETING LAW STUFF THAT'S OPEN MEETING EVERYBODY ON. Y'ALL HAD TO DO THAT, DO THAT. APPOINTED. SEE I DIDN'T HAVE TO DO THAT WHEN I CAME INTO 'CAUSE YOU HAD ALREADY PROBABLY DONE, ALREADY HAD DONE IT. ANOTHER ONE. I STARTED THE HOUSING AUTHORITY ONE AFTER THIS. OH. BUT I GUESS THEY CAUGHT IT . OH, I THINK, I THINK IT'S PROBABLY WORTH NOTING THAT ONCE UM, LEGAL HAS DECIDED THAT OUR RULES ARE WHERE THEY NEED TO BE, THAT WE'LL WE WILL NOT ONLY WILL THIS BODY HAVE TO UM, SORT OF RATIFY THEM, BUT WE WILL ALSO GO THROUGH, UH, AND MAKE SURE EVERYBODY UNDERSTANDS EXACTLY WHAT IT MEANS. WE WILL DO A LITTLE TRAINING ON IT AND MAKE SURE EVERYBODY'S, UH, COVERED. MARTIN'S A PROFESSIONAL AT THAT. I I LIKE THE VERBAL LAW BECAUSE UM, SOMETIMES WE REALLY GET OUTTA HAND AND WE ONLY HAVE A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF TIME AND YOU KNOW, AND, AND IF YOU STICK TO THE POINT AND SAY WHAT WE HAVE TO SAY, SAY SOMETHING, THEN I THINK THAT'S, I I REALLY LIKED THAT ABOUT IT. SO EVERYBODY NEEDS TO BE REFRESHED UNDER, LIKE WE, WE HAD HIM BACK [00:05:01] IN AND MOST OF OUR ORGANIZATIONS ALWAYS HAD HIM. SHE MIGHT KNOW ROBERT. YOU KNOW ROBERT? I KNOW ROBERT. YEAH. BUT BOTTOM LINE IS WHATEVER BOBBY SAYS YOU GOTTA DO IT. THAT'S TRUE. HE DOES HAVE MY NAME ON IT. . OKAY, WELL I WANNA RE HERE NEXT. I WANNA DO IT MY WAY. , I SEE THAT ASSIGNED. HOW OFTEN, HOW OFTEN DO THEY REVIEW THE, THIS IS THE FIRST TIME SINCE I'VE BEEN HERE. WHEN WE DID OURS, IT WAS UM, REGARDING, UH, WE WERE REALLY CONCERNED ABOUT WHAT A QUORUM WAS BECAUSE WE WERE ALWAYS SHORT ON BOARD MEMBERS. AND UM, SO LIKE, UH, THE CURRENT ONES THAT WE HAVE SAY THAT A QUORUM IS THE NUMBER OF APPOINTED MEMBERS INSTEAD OF THE NUMBER OF SEATS. BUT WHEN I TALKED TO, UM, OUR CITY ATTORNEY ABOUT THAT, HE SAID THAT THAT'S ACTUALLY FINE. WE DON'T ACTUALLY HAVE TO HAVE THAT WORDING. WE CAN KEEP LIKE THE REGULAR WORDING TO WHERE IT'S JUST NUMBER THE MAJORITY, BLAH, BLAH, BLAH. UM, HIM AND THE UH, ASSISTANT, UM, HIM AND KRISTEN ACTUALLY SAT THERE AND BOTH WERE LIKE, HAD A BOOK OF ROBERTS RULES OF ORDERS AND THEY WERE FLIPPING THROUGH IT AND TRYING TO FIND, AND THEY WERE LIKE, YOU KNOW, THAT'S FINE THAT YOU'RE DOING IT THAT WAY. BUT I TOLD THEM THE REASON THAT WE DID IT IS BECAUSE WE TEND TO HAVE, AT THAT TIME WE HAD DISTRICT SIX WAS EMPTY FOR THREE YEARS. UM, SO WE WANNA MAKE SURE THAT, YOU KNOW, WE, WE CAN VOTE ON THINGS BECAUSE MEETINGS LIKE THE ONE WE'RE HAVING IN JUNE WHEN IT'S A PUBLIC HEARING, WE HAVE TO PUBLISH AN AD IN THE PAPER. IF WE DON'T HAVE A QUORUM, THAT MEANS NOW I HAVE TO PUBLISH A WHOLE NEW AD IN THE PAPER THAT'S GONNA COST ME, YOU KNOW, 600 PLUS DOLLARS WHEN THAT CAN BE USED FOR SOMETHING ELSE. SO WE JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE. NO, I ASK ALL THE TIME. DAISY UH, DAISY IS VERY FAMILIAR 'CAUSE I TELL HER WE'RE GRANT FUNDED, CAN I GET A DISCOUNT? AND SHE'S LIKE, NO. OKAY, SO SPEAKING OF ARE WE FULLY STAFF OUR POSITIONS? NO, WE ARE MISSING A MEMBER IN DISTRICT FIVE AND AN AT LARGE POSITION REALLY. WE DID HAVE, UM, THE PERSON THAT THEY HAD APPOINTED TO THE AT LARGE POSITION WAS ACTUALLY ALREADY A MEMBER OF THE ETHICS BOARD. AND ON THAT BOARD YOU CAN ONLY BE ON ONE. YOU KNOW HOW LIKE YOU COULD BE ON TWO COMMITTEES OR WHATEVER. I'M NOT SURE IF TWO IS THE MAX, BUT YOU CAN BE ON AT LEAST TWO WHEN YOU'RE ON THE ETHICS BOARD. YOU CAN ONLY BE ON THE ETHICS BOARD. SO THEY GAVE HER THE OPTION OF CHOOSING BETWEEN Z AND ETHICS AND SHE CHOSE ETHICS BECAUSE SHE DIDN'T REALIZE THAT WE'RE THE POLICE COMMITTEE IN BAYTOWN. SO I RIGHT. WAY BETTER THAN ME . BUT YEAH, SO IF Y'ALL DON'T HAVE ANY MORE QUESTIONS ABOUT THAT, I'M HOPING THAT WE CAN MAYBE HAVE THIS ON THE AGENDA FOR JUNE BECAUSE Y'ALL DO KNOW THAT JUNE IS OUR LAST MEETING, UM, AFTER JUNE. WE DON'T MEET AGAIN UNTIL DECEMBER. SO IF THAT'S SOMETHING THAT THEY DO WANNA HAVE, YOU KNOW, ADOPTED BY COUNSEL IN A TIMELY MANNER, THEN WE NEED TO AT LEAST HAVE IT COME TO CDAC FOR OUR JUNE MEETING. SO I'M GONNA BE GETTING WITH THEM TO ASK THEM IF THEY WERE ABLE TO REVIEW WHAT I SENT THEM TO MAKE SURE, YOU KNOW, MAKE THE APPROPRIATE CHANGES SO THAT WHEN WE HAVE OUR JUNE MEETING WE CAN THEN, YOU KNOW, HAVE THAT AS A BUSINESS ITEM ON THE AGENDA AND THEN WE CAN GO FROM THERE. I'LL NOW MOVE ON TO ITEM TWO [b. Discuss and consider the Community Development Block Grant budget recommendation for the 2026-2027 program year.] B, DISCUSS AND CONSIDER THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT BUDGET RECOMMENDATION FOR THE 20 26, 20 27 PROGRAM YEAR. THAT'S WHERE SHE GO. UM, NOW WE'RE GONNA HAVE FUN. SO TONIGHT IS THE NIGHT THAT WE DECIDE, UM, WHO IT IS THAT WE WANNA FUND, AT WHAT LEVEL OF FUNDING IT IS THAT WE WANT TO FUND THEM AND UM, DECIDE ON OUR BUDGET FOR THE UPCOMING YEAR. RIGHT NOW, UM, WE DO HAVE A LOT OF REPEAT REQUESTS ON THIS. UM, EVERYTHING THAT WAS REQUESTED HAS BEEN A REPEAT ITEM. WE DO HAVE A FEW NEW ONES, BUT, SORRY, I HAD FIXED IT EARLIER, BUT I GUESS SO PUBLIC SERVICE ACTIVITIES, WE DO HAVE A 15% CAP ON THAT. SO OUT OF ALL OF THOSE REQUESTS, WE HAVE A REQUEST IN $167,000, BUT THE CAP IS ABOUT 117,000 BUCKS. SO, UM, WE HAVE TO TRIM SOME OF THAT, DECIDE IF WE'RE GONNA FUND ONE OR NOT THE OTHER, UM, I DO HAVE INFORMATION ON, YOU KNOW, OUR, OUR REPEAT OFFENDERS. UM, YOU KNOW HOW IT IS THAT THEY'VE SPENT THEIR MONEY IN THE PAST SO THAT YOU CAN USE THAT INFORMATION WHEN MAKING A DETERMINATION. UM, AND THEN WE DO HAVE A 20% CAP ON PROGRAM ADMINISTRATION, WHICH IS 156,497. AND WHAT WE'RE ACTUALLY REQUESTING IS 1 46 AND WE'RE WELL BELOW THE [00:10:01] CAP, WHICH IS BECAUSE WE DON'T WANT TO EXCEED CAPS. SO, AND WE ALSO HAVE OUR PROGRAMS OVER HERE, HOUSING, BUILDING BOOK APARTMENTS AND NEIGHBORHOOD IMPROVEMENT. THOSE ARE NOT SUBJECT TO A CAP. SO THOSE CAN ACTUALLY BE FUNDED AS YOU SEE FIT. BUT WITH THESE, IT'S EITHER DECIDE TO FULLY FUND SOME AND JUST NOT FUND ANY AT ALL. UM, I DO REQUEST THAT WHENEVER PEOPLE SUBMIT THEIR APPLICATION ON THEIR BUDGET WORKSHEET THAT THEY DO ITEMIZE. THAT WAY YOU CAN GO THROUGH IT AND DECIDE, OKAY, I'LL FUND YOU FOR THIS, BUT NOT FOR THAT. SO IT'S EASIER INSTEAD OF, YOU KNOW, SOMEBODY JUST ASKING FOR, YOU KNOW, A HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS BUT YOU DON'T KNOW WHY I YEAH, IT'S NOTHING TO, I JUST DIDN'T COMPLETELY UNDERSTAND ABOUT THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT TRANSPORTATION THING. THOSE ARE THE BUS TICKETS, RIGHT? IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE WITH THAT? LIKE A FAN OR SOMETHING THAT'S BUS PASSES AND RIDES CARDS. SO WE PROVIDE QUARTERLY BUS PASSES AND THEN WE ALSO LOAD TICKETS, TAXI CARDS. RIGHT. SO THEY, SO WHEN THEY BUY 'EM MONTHLY, THEY DON'T BUY ANYTHING? WE BUY IT. OH NO, NO, NO. OH, WHEN YOU GIVE 'EM, DO THEY GET ENOUGH FOR A A MONTHLY THING? I GUESS I'M NOT SAYING IT RIGHT. WE PROVIDE A QUARTERLY BUS PASS THAT PROVIDES UNLIMITED RIDES ON THE HARRIS COUNTY TRANSIT BUS. LET ME, LET ME FINISH. AND THEN WE ALSO PROVIDE UP TO $300 A MONTH ON A RIDES CARD SO THAT THEY CAN USE THAT FOR TAXI RIDES, TAXI CAMP. WE WANT TAXI CAMP TO MAKE THAT. YEAH. HARRIS COUNTY HAS A CONTRACT WITH MULTIPLE TAXI PROVIDERS TO WHERE THESE PEOPLE WILL CALL AND SCHEDULE A RIDE. THEY WILL COME AND PICK THEM UP AND TAKE THEM TO WHERE IT IS THAT THEY NEED TO GO WITHIN HARRIS COUNTY. AND THEN WHENEVER THEY'RE FINISHED THEY CALL AND THEY GET ANOTHER RIDE TO COME AND PICK THEM UP AND BRING THEM BACK TO WHEREVER IT IS THAT THEY CAN. OKAY. AND A PORTION OF OUR SALARIES ALSO COMES OUT OF THAT. I, NO, I ASKING THIS 'CAUSE I HAVE A FRIEND THAT NEEDED TO OH, WAS WANTING YOU TO KNOW ABOUT THE INFORMATION ABOUT THE TRANSPORTATION SPACE. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. YOU'RE VERY WELCOME. WE ALSO HAVE A WAITING LIST CURRENTLY. SO WE'RE ACTUALLY NOT ACCEPTING NEW APPLICANTS. WE HAVE A WAITING LIST. YES. SO WE HAVE TO ADD ON, WE HAVE TO BE CAREFUL WITH ADDING ON BECAUSE TRANSPORTATION IS A PUBLIC SERVICE ACTIVITY, WHICH IS SUBJECT TO A 15% CAP. SO EVERYTHING, IF YOU LOOK UP THERE WHERE IT SAYS PUBLIC SERVICE ACTIVITY, ALL OF THOSE PEOPLE ARE REQUESTING FUNDS. BUT WE ONLY CAN GIVE THEM $117,000 OUT OF ALL THOSE PEOPLE. SO WE HAVE TO SPLIT THAT $117,000 AMONGST ALL OF THOSE PEOPLE. MM-HMM . OKAY. I UNDERSTAND THAT PART. I UNDERSTAND THAT PART. I UNDERSTAND THAT PART. IT'S JUST A UM, SO ARE THERE LIST YOU WOULD THINK YOU WOULDN'T WANT? I HAVE. IT'S NOT THAT I UNDERSTAND. I UNDERSTAND. WE ALSO HAVE A WAITING LIST FOR OUR HOUSING PROGRAMS MM-HMM FOR OUR RECONSTRUCTION PROGRAM THAT HASN'T BEEN ACCEPTED. I LIKE THE HOUSING PROGRAMS THOUGH. I THOSE HOUSING THERE WAS ANY WAY TO GET THAT BLUE HOUSE WITH THE WHITE BRICK OUT. WHAT WAS YOUR QUESTION, RHONDA? SO WITH THE TRANSPORTATION PROGRAM CURRENTLY, YOU'RE CURRENTLY HELPING 80 PEOPLE. RIGHT NOW WE'RE ACTUALLY HELPING 74, NOT A 70. 'CAUSE UM, LAST QUARTER, WELL AT THE BEGINNING OF THE QUARTER THAT'S ENDING HARRIS COUNTY. SO HARRIS COUNTY USED TO CHARGE US $15 PER QUARTERLY BUS PASS. AND THEN AFTER WE UM, LOST A BUS ROUTE, THEY INCREASED IT TO $30 PER QUARTERLY BUS PASS. AND THEN LAST QUARTER WE GOT AN INVOICE FOR $90 PER QUARTERLY BUS PASS PER PERSON. PER PER PERSON. SO WE WERE HORRIFIED. WE HEARD THAT CORRECTLY. WE WERE HORRIFIED BECAUSE WE'RE LIKE, WE WANTED TO ADD MORE PEOPLE. SO HOW CAN WE ADD MORE IF WE ARE NOW SPENDING WAY MORE MM-HMM . SO WE ENDED UP CONTACTING HARRIS COUNTY TRANSIT, THEY'RE LIKE, HEY, THIS HAS GONE UP QUITE A BIT, WHAT'S HAPPENING? SO, UM, THEY WERE LIKE, OH, WE HAD A MEETING ABOUT THAT. THAT WAS THE FRENCH WII OR THE ROYAL WII. I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT WAS. 'CAUSE WE WERE NOT THERE. WE DIDN'T KNOW THAT THIS WAS HAPPENING. WOW. SO AFTER A LITTLE BIT OF BACK AND FORTH WITH THEM, ONE OF THE QUESTIONS THEY ASKED WAS, OH, SO UM, WHO IS IT THAT YOU'RE SERVING ELDERLY AND DISABLED? THAT, THAT WE SERVED? OH, OKAY. WELL THEN IT'S $30. LIKE, OH, OKAY, WELL THAT'S BETTER. SO NOW WE'RE GONNA ADD SIX MORE TO WHERE WE'RE GONNA BRING IT UP TO EIGHT. BUT IT WAS, IT WAS VERY SCARY FOR A SECOND THERE BECAUSE WE WERE LIKE, OH MY GOD. ESPECIALLY IF WE'RE NOT ABLE TO HELP AS MANY WITH BUS PASSES, THEN THEY MIGHT NEED TO USE THE TAXI MORE. BUT WE [00:15:01] ONLY HAVE SO MUCH THAT WE CAN PROVIDE IN THE TAXI. SO IT'S, IT WAS A LITTLE, YOU KNOW, TOUCHABLE FOR A SECOND. SO WHAT, UM, WOULD Y'ALL LIKE TO START WITH PUBLIC SERVICE ACTIVITIES? 'CAUSE I THINK THAT THAT'S GONNA BE A LOT OF DISCUSSION ON THOSE. YES. AND THEN YOU KNOW THAT WE HAVE A MAX THAT WE CAN MOVE ON. YES. SO THE WAY I HAVE IT SET UP IS WHENEVER WE ENTER SOMETHING HERE ON THE SIDE, IT'LL TELL US WHAT WE HAVE LEFT, RIGHT OVER HERE. OKAY. SO ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS WE'LL JUST DECIDE, WE'LL GO LINE BY LINE ON EXACTLY WHAT IT IS THAT WE WANT TO PROVIDE FUNDING TO. I DID BRING A LITTLE BIT OF, UM, HISTORICAL DATA ON SOME OF OUR USUAL APPLICANTS SO THAT, YOU KNOW, WHENEVER YOU'RE LOOKING AT HOW MUCH IT IS THAT THEY'RE REQUESTING, I KNOW IN YOUR BOOK I DO GO BACK LIKE TWO YEARS ON HOW MUCH THEY SPENT. SO ON SOME OF THEM I WENT BACK JUST A LITTLE BIT FURTHER SO YOU CAN GET A LITTLE BIT MORE BACKGROUND ON HOW IT IS THAT THEY'RE SPENDING THEIR MONEY. SO, UM, THAT AREA, HOMELESS SERVICE, THAT'S TAB NUMBER THREE. THE VERY FIRST ONE, YES. OPERATION AS OF THE MEETING THEY HAVEN'T SPENT AND AS OF TODAY THEY HAVEN'T SPENT ANYTHING. LAST YEAR, UM, THEY SPENT $180 OR 3.6% OF THEIR FUNDS. NOW IN 22, 21 AND 22, THEY DID SPEND 80 TO 90% OF THEIR FUNDS. BUT IN 2020 THEY ONLY SPENT 3% OF THEIR FUNDS. SO IT'S, IT'S KIND OF LIKE, IT'S ONE OF THOSE THINGS TO THINK IS IT IT'S NEEDED BUT IS IT NEEDED AT THE LEVEL THAT THEY'RE REQUESTING? SO THAT'S SOMETHING FOR Y'ALL, IS THAT TO THINK ABOUT, IS THAT MONEY THAT DOESN'T GO TO THEIR BUILDING FUND, RIGHT? NO, NO, NO, NO. THAT'S NO THE CHILD. THIS IS PROVIDING DAYCARE SERVICES. DAYCARE. OH, OKAY. NOW HE DOES, UM, SAY TO US REGULARLY THAT THE BULK OF THE FUNDS ARE USED IN THE SUMMER. THE LAST YEAR THEY ONLY SPENT $180 IN THE SUMMER. SO IT'S, IT'S BASICALLY SOMETHING FOR YOU TO DECIDE, LIKE LOOKING AT THE HISTORICAL DATA, DO THEY REQUIRE THE SAME LEVEL OF FUNDING? BECAUSE WE BASICALLY GIVE THEM THE SAME AMOUNT ALMOST EVERY YEAR. I CAN I START THE DEFINITION? YES. I THINK IT'S DEFINITELY A NEEDED SERVICE IF YOU'VE GOT THESE HOMELESS FAMILIES THAT ARE THERE AND THE PARENTS ARE REQUIRED TO GO OUT AND LOOK FOR JOBS. SO THEY NEED CHILDCARE. RIGHT. BUT I THINK THE NEED, I DON'T THINK WE NEED TO FUND THEM AT THAT LEVEL BECAUSE I THINK THAT WE CAN PUT THAT SOMEWHERE. ESPECIALLY 'CAUSE WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO CUT PRETTY MUCH EVERYBODY. OR NOT FUND SOMEBODY. OR NOT FUND SOMEBODY. AND THAT'S ANOTHER THING. I THINK THAT ALL OF THESE THINGS WITH THE EXCEPTION OF BAY AREA REHAB, AND I'LL TELL YOU WHY. I THINK ALL OF THEM ARE DEFINITELY WORTHY. UM, PEOPLE ARE WORTHY ORGANIZATIONS AND WHAT THEY'RE TRYING TO DO, BAY AREA REHAB CENTER, THOSE THINGS THAT THEY WERE ASKING FOR, THEY LIKE, THESE ARE BOTH NEW LIKE PILOT TYPE THINGS. RIGHT. SO WHAT HAVE THEY DONE BEFORE? SHE DIDN'T REALLY ADDRESS THAT, UM, WHEN SHE PRESENTED THAT. SO I DEFINITELY AM NOT FOR FUNDING THEM BOTH AT $7,500 FOR SURE. SAME FOR PRESENTATION WE HAD C YEAR. NO, BECAUSE IT WASN'T THE SAME. THE SAME TWO, THESE ARE TWO BRAND NEW. THESE ARE BRAND NEW PROGRAMS. THEY ALREADY DO PEDIATRIC THERAPY AT BAY AREA REHAB. RIGHT. SHE SAID THIS WAS BASICALLY SORT OF LIKE FOR PEOPLE WHO COULD, WHO WERE UNDERINSURED OR COULDN'T AFFORD IT AT ALL. WELL WHAT DO THEY DO NOW? THEY'RE A NONPROFIT SO I'M, I THINK THEY PROBABLY JUST TREAT THEM AND WRITE THAT OFF SOMEHOW. SHE SAID OTHER GRANTS ANYWAY. YEAH, THEY TREAT 'EM ANYWAY. UM, THAT'S WHAT THEY DO. THAT'S PART OF WHAT BAY AREA REHAB DOES IS PEDIATRIC THERAPY. UM, AND THEN THE OTHER SPECIAL NEEDS DAYCARE. WHERE ARE THOSE KIDS GOING NOW? SHE, SHE DIDN'T, I DON'T REMEMBER HEARING HER ADDRESS THAT. UM, THEY HAVE A FACILITY WITHIN, THEY HAVE A SPACE WITHIN THE FACILITY. WELL I KNOW THEY HAVE A SECURITY ACTUALLY, BUT THAT'S NOT, IT'S A BRAND NEW PROGRAM. THIS IS A BRAND NEW PROGRAM THOUGH. LIKE WHERE ARE THOSE KIDS GOING NOW THAT SHE SAYS THERE'S A NEED FOR THAT? I DON'T KNOW. UM, WELL HOLD ON. ANYWAY, LET'S STICK WITH THE FIRST ONE. OKAY. UM, SO THAT WE CAN AT LEAST KNOCK THAT ONE OUT. IF IT'S SOMETHING THAT YOU WANNA TABLE AND COME BACK TO, IT'S A TABLE. UM, THEN WE CAN SIGN THAT I BROUGHT IN A SPECIAL PERSON THAT HAD HER MASTERS FOR THE OPERATION BRIDGE. WELL HE SAID THAT NO, NOT FOR OPERATION BRIDGE. HE SAID THAT EMPLOYEE I CUT THEIR BACK A NEW EMPLOYEE. YES. BUT I WAS GONNA MANAGE THE YEAH BECAUSE, SO BAY REHAB ACTUALLY NOT REHAB. HE'D BE A HOMELESS ACTUALLY DIDN'T APPLY [00:20:01] FOR FUNDING IN 2023 BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T HAVE, UM, THEIR MANAGER HAD LEFT. UH, SO THEY JUST HIRED SOMEBODY ELSE. THAT IS, THAT'S WHY THEY APPLIED LAST YEAR AND THAT'S WHY THEY'RE, THEY RECEIVED FUNDING IN THE CURRENT YEAR AS WELL. I JUST DON'T SEE HOW, OR ME BAY AREA HOMELESS SERVICES DOESN'T TEAM UP IN SOMEHOW IN SOME CAPACITY. BUT TELLING YOUR COALITION AS THEY BOTH DEAL WITH HOMELESS INDIVIDUALS, I THINK IT'S ALSO, UM, THE DIFFERENCE IN THEIR PROGRAMS BECAUSE BAY AREA HOMELESS SERVICES DOES HAVE THE REQUIREMENT THAT YOU CAN'T REALLY HAVE ANY MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES, CAN'T BE ON MEDICATION. YOU KNOW, YOU HAVE TO ACTIVELY BE LOOKING FOR A JOB AND YOU KNOW, BASICALLY, YOU KNOW, ON THE ROAD TO SELF-SUFFICIENCY AND TALENT YIELD COALITION IS TRYING TO GET PEOPLE TO THE POINT WHERE THEY'RE ON THAT ROAD. NOW, THE PEOPLE THAT GO TO BAY AREA HOMELESS ARE TYPICALLY, OH I'VE BEEN ON THE ROAD FOR A MINUTE. YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? BUT AT TALENT YIELD NOW AM I WRONG? ARE YOU STILL ON THE ROAD? YEAH, I THINK THAT'S EXACTLY. SO IT'S, IT'S BASICALLY LIKE THEY'RE TRYING TO HELP THEM GET TO THE POINT THAT THEY CAN PROBABLY GET IN AT BAY AREA HOMELESS. 'CAUSE NOW THEY'RE OFF OF THE DRUGS OR THEY'RE NOT, YOU KNOW, YOU'RE EXACTLY RIGHT. AND A LOT OF PEOPLE, FOR INSTANCE, THAT GO TO BAY AREA HOMELESS, THEY HAVE GOT THEIR IDS, THEY MIGHT EVEN HAVE CARS. RIGHT. AND THEY SOMEHOW THEY DON'T HAVE HOUSING OR WHATEVER. A LOT OF THE PEOPLE THAT TELL YOU COALITION HELPS. THEY DON'T HAVE IDS. THEY'RE SLEEPING ON THE PARK BENCHES. RIGHT. THEY DON'T HAVE ANY PAPERWORK AND THEY NEED IDS TO GET SOCIAL SERVICES TO GET, UM, SNAP OR TO GET, AND THAT'S WHAT WE'RE PROVIDING THEM WITH FUNDING FOR IN THE CURRENT YEAR IS IDS. AND THEY'VE ACTUALLY GOTTEN SOME IDS. MM-HMM . UM, AND I THINK SOME BIRTH CERTIFICATES. 'CAUSE I KNOW WE GOT LIKE A MISSOURI BIRTH CERTIFICATE OR SOMETHING. SO THE TALENT YIELD ACTUALLY HAS, I MEAN THEY HAVEN'T SPENT TO THE LEVEL THAT THEY SHOULD BE SPENDING IF YOU LOOK AT IT, BUT THEY ACTUALLY HAVE SPENT SOME MONEY BUT BURY HOMELESS SERVICES, THEY'RE NOT REALLY SHOWING THOUGH. UM, AND BECAUSE I MEAN WHAT ARE THE KIDS DOING AFTER SCHOOL? IF THE KIDS ARE GOING TO SCHOOL, CAN WE FUND THEM? I'D SAY WE FUND THEM A THOUSAND. I AGREE. THAT'S WHAT THAT'S WHAT I WOULD SAY. IF YOU USED 180 LAST YEAR, LAST BUDGET YEAR. I THINK A THOUSAND'S. PLENTY. DOES EVERYBODY AGREE? YES. . SO I'M GONNA PUT THEM DOWN FOR SO NUMBER THREE. YES. ALRIGHT, SO WE'RE ON THIS FAVORITE SUBJECT BARRIER REHAB. WE HAVE TWO PROGRAMS. WE HAVE THE KIDS US SPECIAL NEEDS DAYCARE PROGRAM, AS WELL AS THE PEDIATRIC THERAPY PROGRAM. DOES ANYBODY ELSE HAVE ANY THOUGHTS? I KNOW THEY HAVE A LOT OF UNITED WAY FUNDING. THEY DO MM-HMM . SO I WOULD BE WILLING TO TABLE THIS ONE UNTIL THE END. AND IF THERE IS ANYTHING LEFT OVER, LIKE HELP 'EM OUT. 'CAUSE IT IS WORTHY CAUSES. BUT THEY, THEY HAVE EVERYTHING THEY NEED. WAIT, THEY, IT APPEARS. OKAY, SO WE'LL SKIP THOSE TWO AND WE'LL GO TO COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT TRANSPORTATION PROGRAM. IT'S AN OKAY PROGRAM. . I THINK IT'S A WONDERFUL PROGRAM. I THINK IT'S DEFINITELY NEEDED IN OUR COMMUNITY. UM, THE PEOPLE THAT USE IT NEED IT. AND YOU'RE GONNA SCHEDULE ALL OF YOUR PLANS. THAT'S A LOT OF THE 117,000. BUT IT'S, I I DON'T, I DON'T FEEL LIKE WE CAN CUT THAT AT ALL. NO, I SAY WE, THAT'S JUST ME, MY OPINION. EVERYBODY ELSE SPEAK UP. MY OPINION, WHEREVER FUNDS WE DO HAVE AVAILABLE LEFT, WE NEED TO FUND THEM. YEAH. BECAUSE THAT'S GAS PRICES ARE INCREASING. MORE PEOPLE GONNA BE RELYING ON THIS. THIS ALSO HELPS TAKE PEOPLE OFF THE RATING LIST. SO I'M MORE COMFORTABLE FUNDING THIS THAN HAVING, UM, OPERATION BRIDGE. YOU MEAN OPERATION BRIDGE OR BAT BAY AREA REHAB. BAY AREA REHAB. OKAY. YES. OKAY. SO THEN WE'LL LEAVE IT AT THE FULLY, UH, REQUESTED AMOUNT FOR NOW AND THEN WE'LL REVISIT AT THE END. NEW YEAR. NO SHOES. WE HAVE TO KEEP THIS. ALTHOUGH, CAN I TALK ABOUT WHAT I LEARNED LAST YEAR WHEN I WENT? PEOPLE STEAL WHILE THEY'RE WAITING TO BUY SHOES? YES. OH, SO NO, THEY WERE FINDING OLD PAIRS OF SHOES AND SHOE BOXES AT THE NEW SHOES. THE FAMILIES THAT WERE THERE. I MEAN, YES. DIDN'T WE DIDN'T TELL YOU ABOUT THAT. OKAY. I, I WAS THERE, THERE WASN'T A WHOLE LOT FOR ME TO DO, BUT I WAS THERE TO BE SUPPORTIVE. DID I GO BOTH? YES, I WANTED TO, BUT OKAY. [00:25:02] SO I OFFERED THIS YEAR TO WALK AROUND IN A POLICE VEST TO HER, CAN YOU PLEASE WEAR A WHISTLE ? BUT WHEN I, WHEN THE EMPLOYEES TOLD ME THAT MM-HMM . I WAS JUST, I THOUGHT THE ABSOLUTE GALL, I THINK WE SHOULD PUT LIKE A LITTLE DISCLAIMER MAYBE LIKE ON THE SHOPPING DAY. LIKE IF YOU'RE CAUGHT STEALING, LIKE YOU WILL BE DISQUALIFIED FROM THE PROGRAM MOVING FORWARD. SO, SO WHAT THE EMPLOYEE SAID THAT, AND I THINK IT'S MOSTLY THE MOMS 'CAUSE THERE AREN'T A LOT OF DADS THAT GO, IT'S MOSTLY MOMS. MM-HMM. SO WHAT THE MOMS DO IS THEY GO BACK THERE AND THERE'S ALL THESE PEOPLE AND NOBODY'S PAYING ATTENTION. IT'S, IT'S A MAD HOUSE. SO PARENT LIKE, WHO WOULD THINK TO DO THAT? LIKE I WOULD NEVER THINK TO DO THAT. BUT APPARENTLY THEY COME IN IN THEIR OLD CHOLAS AND THEY ARE LIKE, OH, I LIKE THAT PAIR OF SHOES. SO THEY PUT THOSE PAIR OF SHOES ON THEIR FEET. I GUESS THERE'S NOT REALLY A TAG 'CAUSE IT'S ON THE BOX AND THEY PUT THEIR OLD CHUNK LIDS IN THE BOX AND LEAVE IT THERE AND THE EMPLOYEES FIND THEM. AND THERE'S A TERM THAT THEY CALLED IT. WHEN SHE TOLD ME THAT I THOUGHT, OH MY GOSH. SO THAT MADE ME NOT WANT TO FUND THIS. BUT THEN I THOUGHT NOT, I MEAN NOT TO, NOT A CO . NO, NOT REALLY. IT JUST, THEY NEED THE SHOES. I KNOW THEY DO HAVE BEEN THERE FOR A, IT WAS JUST A THOUGHT. FIRST THOUGHT WAS WANT ICE THERE? OKAY, WE'RE GONNA DO AWAY WITH IT THEN IF YOU'RE GOING TO TAKE ADVANTAGE AND DO THAT KIND OF STUFF. BECAUSE IT'S NOT JUST ONE PERSON. THE MOM NEEDED THE SHOES. I DON'T KNOW. YOU'RE GETTING $50 FOR EACH OF YOUR FIVE KIDS. BUT YOU HAD TO STEAL A PAIR TOO. NO, THAT'S WRONG. IT IS WRONG. EVEN IF YOU DID NEED IT, THAT'S WRONG. IT IS WRONG. AND IT'S, THAT'S SO WRONG. IT'S, IT'S ILLEGAL. YOU'RE STEALING, YOU CAN GO TO JAIL FOR THAT AND THEN WHAT HAPPENS TO YOUR KIDS? RIGHT. SO, SO IT'S NOT LIKE, IT'S NOT LIKE I DON'T HAVE COMPASSION I THINK, BUT WE'RE TRYING TO HELP YOU OUT AND YOU'RE GONNA STEAL A SHOES PROCESS. I THINK THERE COULD BE SOMETHING WE COULD PUT WHEN THEY SIGN UP, SIGN UP, PICK UP THE SHOES, LIKE WE, AND IT COULD ALSO BE A GOOD IDEA TO HAVE MORE BECAUSE, 'CAUSE RIGHT NOW IT'S ONLY MONICA, SHARON AND ONE OTHER PERSON. I STILL WANNA WEAR A, A POLICE VEST AND WE CAN MAYBE WALK AROUND, I'LL WEAR A POLICE VEST WITH YOU. WE CAN BORROW A CUP POP TO COME AND WALK AROUND. WELL I ASKED THAT TOO, BUT IF WE, IF THEY DON'T WANNA COME, I WILL WEAR A POLICE VEST. I DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH OF A DETERRENT I WOULD BE, BUT I THINK THE FIRST DAY, I THINK ONE OF THE DAYS, I CAN'T REMEMBER WHAT DAY, I THINK IT WAS SIX PAIR THAT THEY COUNTED. THAT'S REALLY SAD. AT LEAST THAT THEY MENTIONED SAD. BUT I THINK HAVING MORE EYES, PUTTING A DISCLAIMER AND THEN UM OH YEAH. THE HELP OF, BUT I THINK IT'S A FANTASTIC PROGRAM. PROGRAM ITSELF. AND SO DO WE WANNA FUND IT? IT JUST WARMS YOUR HEART TO KNOW THAT THOSE KIDS ARE EATING A BREAD. I THINK THEY WANT TO. AS LONG AS WE PUT RESTRICTIONS, WHICH WE CAN DO. NO, I STILL WANNA FUND IT. IT JUST REALLY, AS YOU CAN TELL, IT REALLY MADE ME MAD WHEN I HEARD THAT. SO I WILL SAY ONE THING, UM, LAST YEAR I WAS WONDERING, UM, MAYBE SEE IF WE CAN SEE, Y'ALL CAN FIGURE OUT, WE CAN GET SOME OFF-DUTY POLICE OFFICERS TO, THEY ARE OUT THERE TOO AROUND WITH YOUR POLICE OFFICER AND THAT'S WHAT STEPH SAID. YEAH. IT'S NOT COMING OUT. YOU'RE GOOD. YOU'RE GOOD. SHE SUGGESTED THAT THAT MAYBE TRYING TO SEE IF WE CAN GET A SOMEBODY TO WALK OVER IF THEY STILL DO IT. MM-HMM. OH WELL BIG CONSEQUENCE. YEAH. BUT THE DISCLAIMER, LIKE SHE SAID, I THINK IT'S GONNA BE A GOOD, I THINK WE FUND THEM A HUNDRED PERCENT. SO I WILL UM, I WILL MENTION THAT LAST YEAR WE DID FUND IT FOR 15,000 AND UM, BAYTOWN POLICE WAS NOT USING THEIR MONEY. SO WE ACTUALLY TOOK THE MONEY AND I KNOW WE TALKED ABOUT IT AT ONE OF THE MEETINGS TO WHERE WE ENDED UP REALLOCATING THAT FUNDS INTO THAT PROGRAM AND WE WERE ACTUALLY ABLE TO HELP 80 MORE KIDS. 80, 88. THAT'S AWESOME. 80 MORE KIDS. THAT'S AWESOME. UM, THAT'S ALSO ONE THAT, YOU KNOW, IF THERE IS ANY REMAINING FUNDING THAT YOU CAN ALWAYS LOOK TO ADDING, YOU KNOW, A LITTLE BIT OH, FOR SURE AS WELL. FOR SURE. WE'LL GO AHEAD AND WE'LL PUT 15 GRAND ON THAT ONE. LET US KNOW DAYS AND TIMES SO WE CAN BE YEAH, JENNIFER AND KIM AND I, WE'RE ALL POLICE VESTS. I CAN DO IT. HAVE THE INVEST AND I HAVE A CRICKET. I'M JUST SAYING. I KNOW, BUT IN A WAY WE'LL LET THAT RAYA REALLY ASSURE, UH, THAT EVERYBODY'S BOARD, YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? I'M TALKING ABOUT THE PEOPLE THAT ARE THAT GOING WITH THAT INTENTION. YOU KNOW, YOU THINK THAT WOULD BE A DETERMINED, WHO KNOWS. WHO KNOWS? I MEAN, I JUST GO BACK, THEY GET CAUGHT AND THEY MISS OUT ON GETTING, 'CAUSE I MEAN THERE WERE SOME FAMILIES THERE, TONY, NINE KIDS. [00:30:01] THERE WAS ONE NINE KIDS. YEAH. AND THE FIRST THING I THINK OF IS HOW BIG IS YOUR CAR? YOU, BECAUSE YOU'RE TRANSPORTING. THAT'S A LOT OF PEOPLE. IS IT A 10 PASSENGER VAN? LIKE, I DON'T KNOW. YEAH. MY THOUGHT ON THAT IS, YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU GET THERE, YOU, THERE'S SOMETIMES, YOU KNOW, YOU FAMILIES FEEL LIKE THEY GOTTA DO WHAT THEY GOTTA DO TO SURVIVE. AND I GET IT, I GET IT. BUT AT THE SAME TIME THEY DON'T UNDERSTAND THAT YOU'RE DEPRIVING SOMEBODY ELSE. IT'S JUST, IT'S THE SAME SITUATION AS YOU AND THEY NEED IT JUST AS BAD AS YOU DO. THAT IS THE ONLY SHOE STORE THAT WILL WORK WITH US IN THIS REGARD. SO IF WE, WE RUIN THAT RELATIONSHIP WITH THEM, WE HAVE, THAT'S WHO I FELT BAD FOR IS THE EMPLOYEES AT THE SHOE STORE BECAUSE I KNEW THAT THAT WAS THE ONLY SHOE STORE THAT WOULD WORK WITH US ON THIS. OR SO SHE TRAINS THEM FOR IT. EVERY GIRL TRAINS THEM UP FOR THAT. AND, AND SOME OF THE MOMS WERE TIRED OF ONE. THIS ONE MOM WAS GOT SO TIRED OF WAITING BECAUSE THERE'S A LONG LINE THAT GOES ALL THE WAY TO THE, FROM THE CASH REGISTER, FROM THE FRONT ALL THE WAY TO THE BACK. SHE WAS YELLING AT THE LADY AND SHE WAS SO UPSET. SO THEY, THEY GO THROUGH A LOT. AND THEN AT THE END OF THE DAY TO FIND OUT THAT THEY'VE HAD FIVE PAIRS OF SHOES STOLEN. I FELT BAD FOR THEM. AND I THINK ONE OF THE THINGS THAT AS AN INCENTIVE FOR THEM IS THEY ACTUALLY, UM, THEY USE IT AS CELLS. THAT'S HOW MANY CELLS THEY HAD. SO IT HELPS THEIR STORE OH SURE. TO ALSO HAVE IT. SO THEY HAVE IT DURING BOGO. SO SOMETIMES THE KIDS ARE ABLE TO GET TWO PAIRS OF SHOES. THAT'S TRUE. THAT'S, YOU KNOW, TRUE. BECAUSE IT'S BUY ONE GET ONE HALF OFF. RIGHT. AND ESPECIALLY WHEN THEY'RE THE LITTLE LITTLES AND, YOU KNOW, SHOES AREN'T RIDICULOUSLY EXPENSIVE. SOMETIMES THE KIDS WALK OUTTA THERE WITH TWO PAIRS OF SHOES. SO THAT'S PRETTY COOL TOO. YEAH, THAT'S COOL. YOU KNOW, IT'S A GREAT PROGRAM. I THINK IT'S A GREAT PROGRAM. IT'S JUST, YOU KNOW, EVERYTHING'S GONNA HAVE ITS DOWNSIDE, YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? BUT YOU KNOW, LIKE A LOT OF PEOPLE, YOU KNOW, FOR THAT MANY KIDS TO TO, TO BE ABLE TO GET THAT AND THAT WE KNOW WE'RE PART OF HELPING THE COMMUNITY LIKE THAT. ALL RIGHT, SO NEXT STEP. WE HAVE COMMUNITIES IN SCHOOLS. SO ALSO REMEMBER WE STILL HAVE COMMUNITIES IN SCHOOLS, DOORSTEP BLESSING, MEALS ON WHEELS, TALENT YIELD COALITION AND UNITED WAY. AND WE ONLY HAVE $30,000. SO THAT IS, UM, WHAT IS THAT? OKAY, WHERE ARE WE? COMMUNITY SEVEN $61,000 IN REQUEST AND ONLY $30,000 AVAILABLE. COMMUNITIES AND SCHOOLS. COMMUNITIES AND SCHOOLS IS AT $6,000 FOR THE YEAR IN EXPENDITURES. AND IN THE LAST THREE YEARS THEY SPENT A HUNDRED PERCENT OF THEIR FUNDS. THEY ACTUALLY SPEND ALL THEIR MONEY MM-HMM . BUT THEY, WE USUALLY GIVE THEM 10, 9, 5. YEAH. THIS YEAR WE ACTUALLY GAVE THEM 15, BUT THE LAST THREE YEARS WE GAVE 'EM 9, 5, 9, 5, 7,000. I MEAN THEY, THEY MAKE DUE REGARDLESS. SO EVEN IF WE DON'T FULLY FUND THEM, THEY WILL STILL PROVIDE THE TRAININGS. IT MIGHT NOT BE AS MANY, BUT THEY'LL STILL PROVIDE THE TRAININGS TO THE STUDENTS AND EVERYTHING LIKE THAT. SO THAT IS SOMETHING TO TAKE INTO ACCOUNT ONLY BECAUSE WE HAVE SO MANY OTHER, SO MANY THINGS TO TRY TO FUND. THOUSAND. I WANNA GO TO HALF. I BROUGHT MINE DOWN TO NINE. I BROUGHT 'EM BACK DOWN TO NINE. I DID MINE TO NINE. WHERE SAYS HERE, IN MY OPINION, I BROUGHT 'EM BACK DOWN. THEY'RE ON THE LINE ITEM. THEY'RE REQUESTING 11,400 FOR CONSULTING SERVICES AND PLANNING. YES. THAT'S THE QUESTION. I THAT'S THE PERSON THAT ACTUALLY PROVIDES THE TRAINING. THAT'S RIGHT. UM, HER NAME IS VERONICA. OH, I FORGOT HER LAST NAME. BUT SHE'S WITH PIVOT FOUNDATION. THEY'RE THE ONES THAT ACTUALLY DO THE TRAININGS AT THE SCHOOL. SO THAT'S WHO IT IS THAT THEY'RE PAYING FOR. NOW THE REST, I'M TRYING TO PULL IT UP REAL QUICK. THEY'RE ASKING FOR 50 OFFICE SUPPLIES. FIVE 50 IN PRINTING. I KNOW THAT'S A RHETORICAL QUESTION, BUT COULDN'T THAT BE IN HELPS AND SET UP? THAT'S WHAT I'M, I ASKED THE SPECIALIST THOUGH THEY HAVE A MASTER'S DEGREE. SOME, SOME OTHER STAFF DOESN'T HAVE THAT. AND THE PIVOT FOUNDATION ACTUALLY PROVIDES THESE KINDS OF TRAININGS IN MULTIPLE AREAS THAT I BELIEVE PIVOT IS LIKE AROUND THE COUNTRY, IF I'M NOT MISTAKEN. SO THIS IS ACTUALLY LIKE AN ORGANIZATION THAT IS GEARED SPECIFICALLY TOWARD PROVIDING THESE TYPES OF TRAININGS AND THINGS LIKE THAT. SO THEY'RE THE ONES THAT COME UP WITH THE CURRICULUM AND ALL THAT OTHER STUFF. BUT THERE IS 2,500 FOR TRAINING AND TRAVEL AND SHE HAD SAID MILEAGE. THEY'VE NEVER ASKED FOR MILEAGE FROM US BEFORE. THEY'VE NEVER ASKED FOR MILEAGE. IT'S ALWAYS JUST BEEN CONSULTING AND PRINTING. RIGHT MONICA? YES. THEY HAVE ASKED FOR SOME, UM, OFFICE SUPPLIES AS WELL, AS WELL AS THE PRINTING. THEY'VE ACTUALLY NEVER ASKED FOR MILEAGE BEFORE, WHICH WAS INTERESTING FOR TRAVEL. AND THAT WAS MY QUESTION. YOU SAY TRAVEL, BUT YOUR PEOPLE ARE IN-HOUSE. SO WHAT, WHO ARE YOU PAYING? SHE SAID THE SUPERVISORS ARE GOING. THAT IS CORRECT. SO WHAT WERE THEY DOING BEFORE THEY ALSO RECEIVED FUNDING FROM OTHER SOURCES, [00:35:01] RIGHT? MM-HMM. I AGREE. I'M SURE THEY HAVE. THEY JUST DON'T HAVE ANYTHING SECURITY YET, IF I'M NOT MISTAKEN. SEVEN, FIVE. WE RECEIVE FUNDING FROM PIVOT. NO. PIVOT IS THE ORGANIZATION THAT PROVIDES THE TRAINING TO THE CHILDREN. MM-HMM . I DUNNO. THEY PROVIDE THE TRAINING. MY QUESTION ON THAT ONE IS, AND THAT'S WHY IS AS MANY YEARS AS I'VE BEEN DOING IT AND IT'S BEEN SUCCESSFUL AND I SEE THE SAME FACES, SOMEBODY'S BOUND TO BE PICK UP THE, THE, THE WAY THEY TRAIN THESE KIDS SO THAT, SO THAT WE CAN DO THE IN-HOUSE TRAINING VERSUS VERSUS UH, GETTING A CONSULTANT TO COME IN AND DO THAT. WELL THAT WOULD BE A DISCUSSION TO HAVE WITH THEM BECAUSE THAT'S NOT SOMETHING THAT WE CAN ACTUALLY HAVE TO DO NOW THAT'S BECAUSE, YEAH. UM, AND THAT'S WHY I ASKED, YOU KNOW, ABOUT THE CONSULTANT FEE. IS IT AN OUTSIDE COMPANY COMING IN AND DOING THIS? BUT THEY'VE BEEN DOING IT FOR YEARS AND IT'S BEEN VERY SUCCESSFUL. VERONICA LAWRENCE, THAT'S HER NAME AND IT IS LIKE THAT'S, YOU KNOW, THAT'S, I I CAN DO THIS. WHAT'S UP? I MIGHT BE ABLE TO DO THIS. I MIGHT BE KNOW AND PICK IT UP FROM THERE. SO, SO WHAT ARE Y'ALL LOOKING AT IN TERMS OF FUNDING? DID YOU WANT TO, WHEN YOU'RE LOOKING AT EACH INDIVIDUAL LINE ITEM, DO YOU WANT TO DO THE FUNDING FOR THE OFFICE SUPPLIES? 'CAUSE THEY ACTUALLY DID BREAK DOWN THEIR BUDGET. SO WE DO HAVE OFFICE SUPPLIES, PRINTING, TRAINING AND TRAVEL. AND THE CONSULTANT SERVICES. THE CONSULTANT SERVICES MEAN THE BIGGEST CHUNK. SO THAT'S THE ONLY PLACE PROBABLY THEY CAN COME OUT OF REALLY. WELL, YOU CAN ALWAYS, YOU DON'T HAVE TO FUND THEM WITH TRAINING AND TRAVEL. THEY'VE NEVER RECEIVED FUNDING FOR THAT BEFORE. THAT'S SOMEWHERE ELSE. THAT'S, BUT WE STILL GOT, WE STILL GOT SOME OTHER PEOPLE THAT YOU AND USE OUR AND TRY TO STRETCH THE, THE DOLLARS AS FAR AS WE CAN. YOU, SO YOU WANNA CUT 'EM IN HALF OR NINE OR? I WOULD SAY, YEAH, I WOULD SAY I, I'M OKAY WITH HALF. PUT 'EM BACK TO 9.5. KEEP ALL THE LINE ITEMS BECAUSE WHENEVER WE, UM, WHAT I USUALLY DO IS, IS I TAKE THE TOTAL AMOUNT THAT THEY REQUESTED AND I FIGURE OUT WHAT THE PERCENTAGE OF EACH ITEM ON THE LINE IS AND IF WE REDUCE IT, THEN I GO, SO IF AND KNOW FIVE 50 IS 13% OF 15,000, WELL IF WE REDUCE IT TO 95 THEN I TAKE 13% OF 9,500. SO I NEED TO KNOW DID YOU WANNA KEEP THE LINE ITEMS AS THEY ARE? DO YOU WANT TO JUST GIVE THEM FUNDING, LET'S SAY FOR PRINTING AND CONSULTING AND LEAVE IT AT THE 9,500? LIKE HOW DO YOU WANNA DO IT? SO YOU WANNA DO 9,500 AND THEN IT'LL JUST BE WHICH LINE ITEMS? JUST PRINTING AND CONSULTING. PRINTING. SO CONSULTING AND PRINTING AT 9,500 DID TAKE OUT THE, THE TRAINING AND TRAVEL. YES SIR. OKAY. WE OUT TRAINING AND TRAVEL AND OFFICE ADVICE. OKAY. ALRIGHT. HEARTS AND HANDS OF BAYTOWN DOORSTEP BLESSING PROGRAM. THAT IS, YES MA'AM. YES. SO HEARTS AND HANDS OF BAYTOWN, WE'VE BEEN PROVIDING THEM WITH FUNDING AND REGULAR CDBG DOLLARS SINCE 2023. THEY ALWAYS SPEND THEIR MONEY. UM, 2324, THEY HAD NINE GRAND. THEY SPENT 8924 25, THEY HAD EIGHT GRAND. THEY SPENT 7,900. IN THE CURRENT YEAR THEY HAVE 13,000 AND THEY'VE SPENT 41 15 AS OF TODAY. THEY ALSO HAVE, UM, YOU LOOK AT THEIR BUDGET THE DAY THEY'VE ONLY SPENT 41 41 $4,115 AND 8 CENTS. SO THEIR MAIN EXPENDITURES ON THIS PROGRAM IS THE SALARY THEY DO PAY FOR. THEY USE CDBG DOLLARS TO PAY FOR A PORTION OF THE OFFICE. THE YOUNG LADY WHO MANAGES THE DOORSTEP BLESSINGS PROGRAM, [00:40:01] I BELIEVE IT'S HOW MUCH? 18%, UH, 18% OF HER SALARY IS PAID OF OUT OF CDBG. SO THE BULK OF THEIR UM, EXPENDITURES ARE USUALLY SALARIES AND WAGES AND FOOD. NO TRAVEL. RIGHT? WELL, TRAINING AND TRAVEL IS ONLY A THOUSAND. NO, I'M LOOKING AT IT. MONICA, HOW MUCH, HOW DO THEY, BECAUSE I KNOW WE PAY, THE WAY THAT THEY MAKE THE DELIVERIES IS THAT THEY RENT U HALLS. THAT IS CORRECT. 'CAUSE THEY DON'T HAVE A DEDICATED VEHICLE. SO THAT'S WHAT THE TRAINING AND TRAVEL, IT'S NOT FOR ACTUAL TRAINING, IT'S JUST THAT'S WHAT THE LINE ITEM IS CALLED. IT'S FOR TRAVEL. SO THEY USE A U-HAUL THAT THEY RENT AND THEY PROVIDE US WITH RECEIPTS FOR ALL OF THAT. UM, AND THAT'S HOW THEY TRANSPORT THE FOOD WHENEVER THEY'RE MAKING DELIVERIES, THERE ARE SOME CHURCHES THAT THEY WORK WITH THAT WILL COME WITH THEIR OWN TRUCKS AND THEY'LL LOAD UP THE VEHICLES. BUT WHENEVER THEY DON'T HAVE THAT AVAILABLE TO THEM, THEY DO RENT U-HAUL. MM-HMM . AND THAT'S HOW THEY DO THEIR DIVORCE. SO SALARIES, TRAVEL AND FOOD IS WHAT THEY PRIMARILY SPEND THEIR MONEY ON AND THEIR BAGS AND BOX BAGS REALLY, I KNOW IT SAYS BAGS, BOXES, ET CETERA, BUT THEY UM, BAG A LOT OF THEIR STUFF. WELL, FOR THOSE OF YOU THAT ARE FAMILIAR , THE BAGS THAT THEY HAVE, UM, WHICH ARE NO GOOD, THEY'RE HARD. NO, THOSE ARE FOR ANOTHER PROGRAM. THEY USE THE BOXES. THEY HAVE LIKE BIG PLASTIC BAGS TOO. YEAH, THEY USE BOXES. REMEMBER WHEN WE WENT OVER THE THREE OF US, RIGHT? MM-HMM . WELL THEY, UH, I JUST SEE THEIR INVOICES AND A LOT OF IT IS BOXES, BUT MOSTLY BAGS AS WELL AND STUFF. SO YEAH, SO THAT'S UM, AN ITEM THAT YOU CAN ALWAYS JUST SAY YOU WANNA FUND THEM FOR A CERTAIN AMOUNT AND THEN LEAVE IT AS REQUESTED AND I'LL JUST BREAK IT DOWN BY WHATEVER PERCENTAGE. I, I DEFINITELY WANNA FUND FOOD AND WE STILL HAVE MEALS ON WHEELS COMING UP TOO. AND THEY'RE ANOTHER ONE THAT EXACTLY. I USUALLY SPEND ALL THEIR, THE CLOTHING IS CLOSET. OKAY. SO WE GOT 20 GRAND. WE CAN'T DO IT WITH, WE ONLY HAVE 20,000 LEFT TO DO EVERYTHING. IT'S THE 15% CAP. IF THERE WASN'T A 15% CAP LEFT WOULD BE SO MUCH BETTER. SHOULD WRITE YOUR CALL. THANKS. I ACTUALLY CALLED MINE TODAY. WANNA DO TALENT YIELD FIRST? IT MIGHT BE IN THE, NO, MAYBE I HAVE TO LEAVE. OH, SORRY. I WAS JUST SAYING AND THEN WE JUMP BACK TO THE ONES WITH THE MAJORITY AND THEN I, OKAY. ALL RIGHT. SO DOORSTEP BLESSING. I'D SAY WE FUND FOOD THERE. I MEAN THERE'S JUST, THERE'S SO MUCH AND WE JUST CAN'T DO IT ALL. I DEFINITELY WANNA HELP WITH YOU DO IT AT $13,000. AT LEAST 7,800 FOR THE REST. SO DO YOU WANNA FULLY FUND THEM OR DO YOU WANNA FUND THEM AT A PERCENT THOUSAND FOR FOOD? I HAVE 8,000 WITH A QUESTION MARK. I'D SAY WE DO THE FOOD FOR 5,500. FOUR 5,000. WELL THEY ALSO USE THAT MONEY TO PAY FOR THE SALARY OF THE YOUNG LADY THAT HELPS MANAGE THE PROGRAM. LIKE A PERCENTAGE OR A SALARY COMES UNDER. YEAH, I MEAN THEY DO HAVE OTHER FUNDING SOURCES. SO DO YOU MAYBE, I KNOW ANITA SAID THAT SHE HAD EIGHT, I KNOW ANITA SAID THAT SHE HAD 8,000 WRITTEN ON HERS. DID YOU WANT TO MAYBE DO LIKE FOUR AND FOUR OR DID ANYBODY ELSE HAVE ANY DOLLAR AMOUNT WRITTEN ON THAT BEAUTIFUL DOCUMENT THAT I PROVIDED TO YOU? I HAD, I HAD THE WHOLE 13TH. THAT'S NOT GONNA WORK. ME. I ACTUALLY HAVE EIGHT, SO LIKE FOUR AND FOUR. HOW DO Y'ALL FEEL ABOUT THAT? 4,000 FOR SALARIES AND 4,000 FOR, I MEAN THEY'VE GIVEN 'EM EIGHT AND NINE BEFORE AND THEY'VE MADE IT WORK. WHO CARES IF EGGS ARE $15 A DOZEN NEXT TO YOU, BUT YOU WOULD HOLD ? I CAN'T AFFORD THAT. NOT RIGHT NOW. OKAY, SO WE'RE AT $8,000 FOR FIRST A BLESSING. MEALS ON WHEELS. WHEN WE GAVE THEM MONEY IN 2024, THEY RECEIVED 10,000 AND THEY SPENT 99% OF THE FUNDS ALL BUT $2, NO A DOLLAR AND 77 CENTS. AND THEN DURING COVI, WE GAVE THEM $56,250 AND THEY SPENT 90% OF THEIR FUNDING. SO WE ONLY HAVE 13 LEFT. WELL, 73, I MEAN OBVIOUSLY THERE'S A GREAT NEED, BUT YOU, YOU SEE THEY'RE GETTING OVER $400,000 FROM OTHER PLACES. SO OUR LITTLE DROP IN THE BUCKET. WELL, I MEAN DID THEY REQUEST FUNDING LAST YEAR? THEY DIDN'T. [00:45:02] UM, THE YOUNG LADY WHO MANAGES THE PROGRAM, RUBY, SHE HAD UM, SOME FAMILY HEALTH ISSUES AND SHE WAS UNABLE TO SUBMIT THE APPLICATION ON THE, OKAY, SO THEY ACTUALLY MISSED THE OPPORTUNITY LAST YEAR. UM, I KNOW THAT SHE SAID THAT BY FUNDING THEM IT WOULD ADD, WAS IT 11TH TO FALL? YES, THEY CAN REMOVE, IF THEY WERE FULLY FUNDED, THEY CAN REMOVE UP TO 21 PEOPLE WAITING. MM-HMM . THEY'RE FULLY FUNDED, BUT THEY CURRENTLY DO HAVE A WAITING LIST. SO 45 PEOPLE ARE CURRENTLY ON THE RATING LIST, BUT REFUND THEM WHAT THEY'RE ASKING. THEY WILL TAKE 21 PEOPLE OFF OF IT AND THEN WE WILL EXCEED THE PUBLIC SERVICE CAP AND THEN WE'LL GET IN TROUBLE. SO, SO THAT'S NOT GONNA BE ABLE TO HAPPEN. BUT I MEAN, YOU CAN ALWAYS LOOK AT THE THREE ORGANIZATIONS THAT ARE LEFT. NOW WE KNOW THAT TALENT YIELD IS A REPEAT APPLICANT. TALENT YIELD HAS ONLY SPENT $222 SO FAR THIS YEAR. SO WE'RE HALFWAY THROUGH THE YEAR AND THEY SPENT $222 AND 23 THEY SPENT ZERO AND 22 THEY HAD 4,200 AND THEY SPENT 315. SO, BUT YOU KNOW WHAT, RHONDA CAN'T BE HERE FOR THAT DISCUSSION. SO CAN WE DO SIX 6,000 FOR, UM, MEALS ON WHEELS, 6,000 FOR CLOTHING FOR KIDS' CLOSET AND THEN 873 FOR CAL YIELD? I DON'T. SO HOW UNITED WAY KIDS' CLOSET, IT'S THEIR FIRST TIME AROUND AND I REALLY, ONE OF THE THINGS I KNOW THEY'RE USING, I GET THAT. BUT ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I THOUGHT WAS INTERESTING IS THAT THEY'RE BASICALLY RELYING ON COMMUNITIES AND SCHOOLS TO DETERMINE IF THE FAMILIES ARE ELIGIBLE. RIGHT. THEY NEED TO BE ABLE TO DO THAT THEMSELVES, YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? BECAUSE IF THEY GET MONITORED BY HUD, IT CAN'T BE LIKE, OH, BUT SHE TOLD ME IT WAS OKAY. IT DOESN'T HAPPEN THAT WAY. SO I THINK THAT IF Y'ALL, IF Y'ALL WERE TO DECIDE TO PROVIDE THEM WITH FUNDING, I WOULD SAY DO IT AT A LOW AMOUNT JUST TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING? IF YOU KNOW THEY HAVE TO PAY BACK THE MONEY, AT LEAST THEY'RE NOT PAYING BACK MORE THAN $2,000 OR SOMETHING. YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? LIKE, JUST BECAUSE WHEN WE ASK THEM HOW DO YOU DETERMINE ELIGIBILITY? OH, WELL THE COUNSELORS ARE GONNA HANDLE THAT. SO NOW LIKE THAT'S FALLING ON COMMUNITIES IN SCHOOLS AND, AND CYS ALSO THE CIS AND SC. SO THEY DIDN'T, THEY DIDN'T REQUEST ANYTHING. LAST FUNDING LAST YEAR THEY DID, THEIR APPLICATION WAS WITHDRAWN BECAUSE THERE WAS A CHANGE OF, WHAT DID THEY ASK FOR? UH, I THINK IT WAS 10 GRAND LAST YEAR, BUT THEY WITHDREW THE APPLICATION BEFORE WE EVEN CAME TO PUT THE BOOK TOGETHER. OH. BEFORE WE EVEN PUT THE BOOK TOGETHER, THEY, SO WHAT ABOUT BEFORE THAT? THEY'VE NEVER RECEIVED FUNDING FROM US. THEY'VE NEVER RECEIVED FUNDING. SO THEY'RE FINDING A WAY TO DO WHAT THEY'RE DOING. THEY ARE, THIS IS A WAY FOR 'EM TO HELP MORE PEOPLE, BUT THEY ARE FINDING A WAY TO DO, UM, TO, TO MANAGE WITHOUT THE FUNDING. THEY GETTING $66,000 FROM SOMEBODY ELSE. SO I MEAN IF, IF, IF Y'ALL DO WANNA FUND THEM, I WOULD MAYBE SUGGEST NOT FULLY JUST KIND OF SEE HOW IT GOES. BUT ONE OF THE THINGS THAT, YOU KNOW, IF WE DO PROVIDE THEM WITH FUNDING IN THE SUB-RECIPIENT AGREEMENT, WE DO PUT TOGETHER A SCOPE OF SERVICES, UM, BASICALLY TELLING THEM, YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING, HOW IT IS THAT THE MONEY NEEDS TO BE SPENT AND THEN A MONTHLY REPORT DETAIL. AND WE WILL REQUIRE THEM TO DO THE DUE DILIGENCE ON THE PEOPLE THAT THEY'RE HELPING. BECAUSE AT THE END OF THE DAY, IF THEY GET AUDITED BY HUD, HUD IS IT GONNA BE LIKE, BUT SHE SAID IT'S OKAY, THAT DOESN'T MATTER TO THEM. YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? SO THAT WOULD JUST BE SOMETHING THAT WOULD FALL ON US TO MAKE SURE THAT WE REQUIRE THEM TO ACTUALLY DETERMINE ELIGIBILITY IN THE PROGRAM AND THINGS LIKE THAT. I THINK THAT 10,000 IS A LOT, ESPECIALLY FOR A PROGRAM THAT IS NOT A CONSISTENT THING. IT'S LIKE WHEN NEED HAPPENS KIND OF THING. SO, BUT THE NEED'S ALWAYS THERE. SCHOOL STUFF. IT'S, IT'S WELL THAT WOULD THE SAME FOR THE SHOE PROGRAM THEN TOO, RIGHT? HE IS ALWAYS THERE. I KNOW WE'VE ALWAYS TALKED ABOUT DOING THE SHOES HALFWAY THROUGH THE YEAR AND UM, WE HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO DO IT BECAUSE WE HAVE THIS PESKY CAP TO WORRY ABOUT. I MEAN IF WE DIDN'T HAVE THAT PUBLIC SERVICE CAP, WE CAN FUND EVERYBODY FULLY OR ADD MORE TO THEIR PROGRAMS. IT'S, I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION THAT WE DO AT THIS TIME FOR, FOR THE SHARON KIDS KIDS' CLOSET, [00:50:01] DO THEY HAVE TO DISCLOSE LIKE ON THESE REPORTS, DO THEY DISCLOSE THAT IF THEY GET MONEY FROM SOMEWHERE ELSE? WHAT I AM YOU DISCLOSE THAT? YEAH. AND THE REASON I'M ASKING THAT QUESTION, NOT BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, I'M WORRIED ABOUT THE FACT IS THAT THERE'S A LOT OF VOLUNTEERISM THAT'S GOING INTO THE SCHOOLS TOO. YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? IF YOU, IF YOU SAY, HEY, I NEED HELP WITH THIS FAMILY, CAN YOU HELP ME DO THIS? IS THAT DISCLOSED? YEAH, THAT'S MY POINT BECAUSE I KNOW WE DO IT, YOU KNOW, BARBARA AND I DO THAT, SAID, HEY, THEY NEED SOMEBODY CALLS AND SAYS, HEY, THIS FAMILY IS, UM, AND IN DI NEED, HOW, HOW CAN WE HELP YOU? THE FOOD? NOT ONLY ARE WE GONNA TELL YOU WHERE TO GO BECAUSE WE ALREADY KNOW ABOUT ALL THESE PROGRAMS, BUT YOU SEND CONSISTENT SOMEBODY AND WHETHER THEY FOLLOW UP ON IT, THAT'S, BUT FROM A STAND POINT OF VIEWS, US HELPING, WE WANNA HELP THE COMMUNITY IN ANY WAY WE CAN OR FIND SOMEBODY THAT CAN HELP US HELP THEM. AND SO THAT'S WHAT I WANT TO KNOW. THAT DOES THAT, DOES THAT, UH, IT HAPPENS, IT DOES HAPPEN BECAUSE I'VE GOTTEN VOLUNTEERS, UH, FROM THE COMMUNITY, THE OLD BAY TOWN AND I'VE GOT SAID, GO BUY WHATEVER THEY NEED AND LET ME KNOW. AND, AND WE, WE HAVE A CAP OF LIKE $300, $400 WITHOUT HAVING TO, TO WRITE. SO I BRING THE RECEIPT, I BRING A CLOTHES, TAKE A PICTURE OF IT, TAKE, GIVE THAT TO THE PERSON WHO DONATED IT, IT IT, BUT THAT STAYS AT THE SCHOOL THAT THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT. WE DON'T, I JUST DON'T WANNA MAKE SURE THAT THEY'RE NOT DOING WITHOUT ONE WAY OR ANOTHER, WHETHER IT'S A VOLUNTEER, WHETHER IT'S THIS PROGRAM, WHETHER IT'S WHATEVER. SO IF YOU LOOK AT THE BUDGET WORKSHEET, COLUMN BI BELIEVE IS COMMITTED, UH, OTHER FUNDING SOURCES. SO THAT SHOWS ANY FUNDS THAT ARE ALREADY COMMITTED TO THE PROGRAM. COLUMN C IS IN KIND. SO THAT'S ANY, UH, DONATIONS THAT THEY MIGHT RECEIVE, WHETHER IT'S CLOTHING AND THEY PUT THE VALUE OF THEIR CLOTHING, YOUR VOLUNTEER HOURS TO BACK THINGS THOUSAND DOLLARS. SO THAT'S SOMETHING YOU THINK ABOUT. AND THEN IF YOU ACTUALLY READ THROUGHOUT THE APPLICATION, ONE OF THE QUESTIONS IS ARE YOU RECEIVING ANY FUNDS FROM ADDITIONAL SOURCES? AND THEN THEY'LL ANSWER LIKE SOME OF THEM WILL ANSWER, YES, WE GOT THIS, YOU KNOW, WE GOT THIS FROM HERE, THIS FROM HERE. WE'RE AWAITING A RESPONSE ON THIS ONE. SO AT THE TIME OF THE APPLICATION, WE DON'T KNOW IF THEY'VE RECEIVED THE FUNDING FROM WHOEVER THEY'RE WAITING FOR A RESPONSE FROM. BUT THAT'S WHY ON THE BUDGET WORKSHEET, WE DO HAVE ADDITIONAL COLUMNS ON THERE SO THAT THEY CAN SHOW YOU IF THEY'RE GETTING ANY OTHER FUNDING. WELL I'M NOT TALKING ABOUT A BIG, BIG MAJOR, YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? WHEN YOU'RE TRYING TO HELP SOMEBODY, ANY FUNDING IS FUNDING THOUGH. I MEAN EVEN IF IT'S JUST $150, THAT'S STILL SOMETHING THAT'S, THAT'S THE LEAD I'M TALKING ABOUT. I CAN GO TO CHILDREN'S PLACE AND BUY LIKE A WHOLE 5, 6, 7 OUTFITS FOR MY FRIEND'S DAUGHTER, YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? WITH $150 AND SHE'LL LOOK REAL CUTE TOO. SO , I I, I DO, YOU KNOW, I JUST WOULD, WOULD, WOULD HOPE THAT THEY DO HAVE, THERE'S SO MUCH GREAT, THERE'S SUCH GREAT NEED IN THE SCHOOL RIGHT NOW. INCREDIBLE RID. THERE'S ALSO NEED HELP SO MUCH BILLS ON WHEELS. THERE'S ALSO NEED FOR THE HOME. I'M JUST THINKING OF THE PROGRAMS THAT WE STILL HAVE TO FUND. YOU CAN SAY THAT OF EVERYTHING HERE ON EVERYTHING, THERE'S A GREAT NEED. I I THINK IN LIGHT OF THE FACT THAT THEY HAVE $66,000 IN OTHER FUNDING SOURCES AND INKIN CONTRIBUTIONS, I DON'T WANT TO FUND THEM TOTALLY FOR $10,000. THAT'S WHY. SO DO YOU WANNA DO I DON'T WANNA DO FIVE EITHER . OKAY. DID YOU WANNA DO JUST 25% OF THEIR REQUEST AND SEE HOW THEY DO? YEAH, I LIKE THAT IDEA. I DON'T, WELL LET'S VOTE. THAT'S WHY. AND THAT'S WHY WE HAVE A, THAT'S WHAT WE'RE HERE FOR. SEVEN PEOPLE ON THE BOARD ABLE TO GET A MAJORITY. YEAH. IF WE WERE TO PER, NOT JUST HYPOTHETICALLY SPEAKING, IF WE'RE TO PER 5,000 FOR UM, CLOTHING FOR KIDS, HOW MUCH MONEY WOULD THAT LEAVE FOR OTHER PROGRAMS? 7,873. THAT'S WHAT I SAID. GIVE THEM FIVE. GIVE MEALS ON WHEELS. FIVE AND GIVE THE OTHER 8 73 OR GIVE MEALS ON WHEELS SEVEN AND GIVE THEM THREE. YES. I THINK WE JUST, I DON'T KNOW, MAYBE THE KID, YOU KNOW, AND MAYBE THE IS THAT YEAH, THE KIDS SEEMS LIKE THE KIDS PROBABLY BE THE, IN MY OPINION, OPINION THE KIDS WOULD BE THE MOST IMPORTANT. I I WERE THE ELDERLY. HUH? WERE THE ELDERLY SAID THE SENIOR. WELL I'M, I'M, I'M AN ELDERLY. YOU EXXON, YOU DON'T COUNT . YOU ARE THROUGH THE PLANTS, SIR. YOU DON'T COUNT. WE DID FIND OUT ELDERLY IS ALSO, UM, LOW INCOME, RIGHT? IS THAT WHAT IT SAID THAT [00:55:01] LAST ? IT COULD BE. IT COULD BE. I THINK, I THINK WHAT SHARON SAID IS RIGHT, THE HOMELESS, THEY, THEY NEED STUFF. THE ELDERLY NEED THINGS. KIDS NEED THINGS. EVERYBODY. AND AGAIN, THE CLOTHING THING, THEY'RE GETTING $66,000 FROM SOMEWHERE ALREADY. ALREADY. WHICH . AND AND I'M LIKE, I'M LIKE DALIA SAID, IF SOMEBODY SAYS, HEY, THIS KID AT THIS SCHOOL NEEDS SOMETHING, I'M THERE. I'M AT TARGET OR WHEREVER, CHILD, CHILD CHILDREN'S, CHILDREN'S PLACE. LIKE I MEAN I THINK THAT THEY DO THAT, RIGHT? NO, WE CANNOT USE THE NURSES DEPARTMENT USES A GENTLY USED CLOTHES. THEY, EXCEPT THAT. BUT ALL SHOES. ALL SHOES AND SOCKS AND UNDERWEAR, T-SHIRTS HAVE TO BE YOU OKAY FOR THIS PROGRAM? NOTHING IS GENTLY USED. EVERYTH IS PURCHASED, EVERYTHING IS BRAND NEW. HAS TO BE PURCHASED. HAS TO BE PURCHASED. BUT MAYBE BEING ASS HOW IT'S THEIR FIRST YEAR. FUND THEM AT A LOWER LEVEL, SEE HOW EVERYTHING GOES. SO ARE YOU LOOKING AT RHONDA'S 2,500 OR ARE YOU LOOKING AT DAHLIA'S 5,000? ARE YOU LOOKING AT KIM'S 3000? WE GOTTA MAKE A DECISION. 3000. KIM YOU SAID 3000 FOR THIS GROUP BEFORE THE 3000 FOR THIS ONE. KIM'S SUGGESTION WAS 3000 FOR UNITED WAY. 7,000 FOR MEALS ON WHEELS AND 873 FOR TALENT YIELD. THAT'S KIM'S SUGGESTION. THAT'S, SEE ALL I CAN DO IS LEAD YOU, GUIDE YOU AND GIVE YOU ALL OF THE INFORMATION TO WHERE YOU CAN MAKE AN INFORMED DECISION. I CAN'T TELL YOU HOW TO SPEND IT. I CAN JUST TELL YOU. SO I FEEL LIKE FOOD IS PROBABLY MORE IMPORTANT THAN CLOTHING OR TRANSPORTATION. I DON'T KNOW WHERE IT RANKS WITH YOU GUYS, BUT I WOULD RATHER GIVE MONEY TO MEALS ON WHEELS. ENDORSE THAT BLESSINGS THAN I THAT'S THAT'S THE OTHER, RIGHT? WE ALREADY DID DOORSTEP, RIGHT? YEAH. DOORSTEP. WE DID YOU WANT TO GIVE THEM MORE DOORSTEP? BLESSINGS. SOUND. OKAY. ? WELL IF, IF HUD HAD GIVEN US A MILLION BUCKS, REMEMBER THAT NONE OF THE NUMBERS THAT ARE UP THERE ARE SET IN STONE UNTIL YOU GUYS VOTE ON THE ENTIRE BUDGET. SO IF YOU NEED TO ADJUST WHAT'S UP THERE, YOU CAN, MAYBE THAT MAKES THINGS FUZZIER, BUT YOU NEED TO FIND A THOUSAND DOLLARS. MAYBE ONE OF THE OTHER ONES CAN GO A THOUSAND DOLLARS LESS. MAYBE THAT WOULD MAKE SOME OF THESE OTHER LOW NUMBERS HURT A LITTLE LESS. I MEAN, BECAUSE THERE IS NO PERFECT ANSWER. AND, AND I BROUGHT, QUITE FRANKLY, YOU'RE GONNA SIT HERE ALL NIGHT. I BROUGHT MEALS ON WHEELS DOWN. UM, THE REASON WHY IS BECAUSE THEY'RE GETTING SO MUCH MONEY FROM THE STATE AND ALSO FROM OTHER PROGRAMS. I BROUGHT 'EM FROM 20 TO 10,000. I'M WILLING TO GO MORE ON THAT. UH, UH, CLOSE FOR CLOSET. UM, I ORIGINALLY SAID 5,000, BUT I HAVE TO AGREE WITH 'EM, YOU KNOW, 2,500 SEEMS LIKE IT'D BE A, THAT WAY WE ARE SUPPORTING THEM. WE REALLY HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT THE OTHER ONES TOO. I MEAN, IF WE ARE TIGHT, WE CAN ALSO TAKE A THOUSAND OR SO OFF OF COMMUNITIES AND SCHOOLS. I MEAN, WE KNOW IT'S A GREAT PROGRAM, BUT THEY'VE MADE IT WITH 8,500 BEFORE. YOU WORRIED ABOUT, OKAY, SO PUT SOMETHING UP THERE AND LOOK AT IT. IT LOOKS LIKE, SO WHAT DO YOU, UH, WE'LL GO WITH KIM'S FIRST ONE, RIGHT? WHAT WAS IT? SEVEN? OH NO, NO. WAS IT SEVEN? I THINK IT WAS WASN'T SEVEN. NO, NO IT WAS, YES, BECAUSE SHE SAID THREE FOR CLOTHES. WELL, 8 73 WOULD'VE BEEN FOR UM, TALENT. YEAH, TALENT YIELD. SO IS IT EIGHT? NOT HILL, BUT THREE ON THE 10. I KNOW KNOW. I THOUGHT Y'ALL HAD IT AT THREE. HOW DID YOU WE DID. WE DID. WELL I WANTED AT 2,500, BUT I'LL GO WITH KIM AND THREE. [01:00:06] THAT'S IT. WHERE DO YOU, SO WITH A THOUSAND ON DOOR OR NINE FOR DOORSTEP AND EIGHT FOR MEALS ON WHEELS, EITHER OR OR DO YOU WANNA LOWER DOORSTEP JOB READINESS THOUSAND ALSO AND MAKE 'EM BE EVEN? YEAH, TAKE ALSO HAVE THE OPTION OF NOT FUNDING SOMETHING TAKE, I THINK WE'RE NOT FUNDING BAY AREA REHAB CENTER. WELL, CLEARLY , WE HAVE NOTHING LEFT. CLEARLY WE'RE NOT DOING THAT. YEAH, BUT WE WERE LEANING THAT WAY AT THE BEGINNING OF NIGHT. YES. YEAH. TOO NEW. CAN YOU SAY THAT? YOU SAID THAT THE HEARTS, THE DOORSTEPS, WE CAN TAKE A A THOUSAND OFF OF THAT AND ADD IT TO THE NO, NO. TAKE A THOUSAND OFF OF COMMUNITIES AND SCHOOLS IF Y'ALL WANTED TO MAKE DOORSTEPS, EVEN WITH MEALS ON WHEELS. I DON'T KNOW. OKAY. IT'S JUST A THOUGHT. OKAY. WHICH DO YOU THINK MEALS ON WHEELS AND DOORSTEP, ARE THOSE SOME OF THE SAME? CLIENTELES THE DIFFERENCE, WE, BECAUSE MEALS ON WHEEL MEALS HOMEBOUND, THAT IS RIGHT. MEALS ON WHEELS DELIVERS A HOT COOKED MEAL DAY DOORSTEP. HELP FROM, IT'S DIFFERENT, A DIFFERENT KIND OF HELP THOUGH, BECAUSE NOW YOU'RE GETTING RAW FOOD THAT YOU HAVE TO PREPARE IF YOU'RE EVEN ABLE TO DO SO. RIGHT. RIGHT. MEALS ON WHEELS IS GUARANTEED ONE HOT MEAL PER DAY. ONE PER DISH ONE. NOT ON THE WEEKENDS. EVEN ON THE WEEKEND, SOME HOLIDAYS. OKAY, SO I THINK THE OFF, I FORGOT WHAT THE SERVICE HERE DO. MEALS ON WHEELS. LET'S TAKE A THOUSAND FROM DOORSTEP AND PUT IT ON MEALS ON WHEELS. SO 10 GRAND TO MEALS ON WHEELS? YES. MM-HMM. THAT'S JUST MY THOUGHT. HOLD ON, I'M SORRY. SO DOORSTEP LESLIE WOULD BE AT EIGHT. AND THEN MEALS ON WHEELS AT 10. I LIKE THAT. I COULD SUPPORT THAT. I CAN SUPPORT THAT RESTROOM. AND FOR THOSE OF YOU MAKING NOTES, WE CAN ALWAYS PROVIDE YOU WITH A COPY OF THIS. 'CAUSE I SEE PEOPLE ERASING AND REWRITING AND DOING MINUTES. OKAY. SO WE ARE DONE WITH PUBLIC SERVICE ACTIVITIES. YAY. CONGRATULATIONS GUYS. ONE MORE HOUR. NO. WELL, UM, SO WELL WAIT. I MEAN, KIM AND I SAID'S MORE. I KNOW WE GOT THE WHOLE ROOM. WE, WHAT DOES ANYBODY, I MEAN SUPPORT WHAT BABY? WELL, NO, TO FINISH THE BUDGET I KNOW, BUT PUBLIC SERVICE. OKAY, LET'S GO. PUBLIC SERVICE. THAT'S NOT FINISHED. WE HAVE TO COMPLETE THE SPREADSHEET BEFORE Y'ALL VOTE. OKAY. THAT'S WHEN WE'LL RUN IT DOWN ONE MORE TIME AND THEN WE CAN SAY YES, THIS IS IT. AND IT'S WHEN, UM, TO GO TO COUNCIL. SO LET'S JUST DO PROGRAM ADMINISTRATION REAL QUICK. THAT IS FOR THE OVERALL ADMINISTRATION OF THE CDBG PROGRAM. THAT IS FOR THE MANAGING OF THE PROGRAMS IN-HOUSE AS WELL AS MANAGING THE SUB-RECIPIENTS. THAT IS AT 1 46 AND THE CAP IS 1 56. 4 97. SO THAT HAS US ACTUALLY $10,497 UNDER THE CAP. SO I THINK WE SHOULD FUND THAT COMPLETELY. MM-HMM . IS EVERYBODY ELSE IN AGREEMENT? OH YES. YES. ALRIGHT, LET'S GO AHEAD. 'CAUSE I AM SURE ROLLING BROOKE IS GONNA BE A NICE DISCUSSION. LET'S GO AHEAD AND DO THE NEIGHBORHOOD IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM. THAT IS FOR AREA BEAUTIFICATION WITHIN THE NEIGHBORHOOD IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM. AREAS OF MIDDLETOWN, PELLY, AND WEST BAYTOWN. ALSO A PORTION OF THAT DOES COVER, UH, STEPHANIE SOUTH, IF YOU LIKE. STEPHANIE FUNDING WE LOVE. YES. DO YOU WANNA KEEP IT AS IS? I THINK THOSE ARE ALL DEFINITELY GOOD THINGS THAT YOU GUYS CITY BASED ON PLANNING AND ZONING DOES PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT. SERVICE PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT. SORRY. YOU'RE RIGHT, YOU'RE RIGHT. YOU'RE NOT PLANNING AND ZONING. I'M SORRY. MY BAD PLANNING BABY. I THINK THAT WE SHOULD FIND THAT COMPLETELY LIKE IT IS. IS EVERYBODY ELSE IN AGREEMENT? YES. YES. OKAY. 26 7 50. ALL RIGHT. ROLLING BROOK APARTMENTS FOUNDATION RIGHT HERE. IT'S AN ALL OR NONE WITH THAT ONE, CORRECT? NO, THEY ACTUALLY HAVE $30,000 FOR RELOCATION. WHAT NUMBER IS IT, BOBBY? THAT [01:05:01] IS TAB NUMBER. UM, SIX. SIX, YES. SO ONE OF THE QUESTIONS THAT I, THIS WAS JUST FOR YOUR INFORMATION. ONE OF THE QUESTIONS THAT I ASKED AT THE MEETING WAS REGARDING A RESERVE FOR REPLACEMENT ACCOUNT. UM, IF THEY HAVE FUNDING AVAILABLE IN THEIR RESERVE FOR REPLACEMENT ACCOUNT, THEY HAVE TO USE THAT FUNDING FIRST BEFORE THEY CAN USE ANY ADDITIONAL FUNDING ON FEDERAL FUNDS. AT THE TIME WHEN THEY HAD THEIR AUDIT COMPLETED, THEIR RESERVE WAS AT, UH, WHAT IS IT? I HAD IT IN HERE. I THINK I TAX, I GOT $36,000. SO THEY DON'T ACTUALLY HAVE FUNDS, UH, ADEQUATE FUNDING IN THEIR RESERVED FOR REPLACEMENT ACCOUNT, WHICH IS WHAT THEY WOULD TYPICALLY USE FOR REPLACEMENTS, WHICH IS REPAIRS AND THINGS LIKE THAT. NOTES. BUT THEY HAVE TO USE THAT FIRST. YES. SO THAT CAN COVER, UM, A PORTION. WHATEVER YOU GUYS DON'T COVER, THEN THEY, THEY, THEY WOULD USE THAT, THAT WOULD ALMOST ALL OF FOUR AND CONTINGENCY. SO THAT WOULD BE SOMETHING TO WHERE IF YOU JUST WANTED TO FUND, THERE IT IS. REPLACEMENT RESERVE, $36,342 IS WHAT THEY CURRENTLY HAVE IN THEIR RESERVE REPLACEMENT ACCOUNT. SO IN YOUR REQUEST, I WAS CONFUSED ABOUT RELOCATION ANYWAY BECAUSE DIDN'T THEY SAY THAT THE ROOMS THAT ARE BAD OFF, THEY DON'T HAVE TENANTS IN THERE ANYWAY. SO WHO ARE THEY RELOCATING? THREE OF THE ROOMS, I BELIEVE. I THINK THEY HAVE THREE VACANCIES CURRENTLY. THREE. THEY HAVE THREE VACANCIES CURRENTLY OCCUPIED. WHAT THEY'RE DOING IS FOUNDATION REPAIR. SO I DON'T KNOW HOW THAT WILL AFFECT THE OTHER. I I DON'T, I'VE NEVER DONE FOUNDATION REPAIR IN MY LIFE. MOVE OUT WHEN THEY DID MY FOUNDATIONS AND HE SAID THAT IT WAS ONLY IN, ONCE THEY STARTED THE WORK, IF THEY HAD TO RELOCATE, THEY WOULD HAVE TO RELOCATE TO ACCESSIBLE HOTEL ROOMS. YEAH. LOCATION. I AGREE. SO IF YOU DID DECIDE TO FUND THEM, THEN RELOCATION IS OFF THE TABLE. YES. OKAY. AND HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT FLOORING? HOW DOES IT MAKE YOU FEEL? ? I DIDN'T REPLACE FLOORING WHEN I HAD FOUND MY FLOORING, BUT I DON'T KNOW WHAT THEIR FLOORING LOOKS LIKE. THAT'S, I MEAN, I CAN ALWAYS PULL UP DID YOU DO IT RECENTLY? FOUNDATION? I CAN'T ALWAYS PULL UP THEIR RFP HAVE $602,000. IS THAT WHAT WE HAVE TO WORK WITH? ACTUALLY MADE THE CRACKS. CLOSE IT INSIDE IT. SEVEN, WHATEVER THAT NUMBER IS RIGHT THERE. SEVEN $63. SO THAT WOULD BE, UM, FOR HOUSING AND THESE PEOPLE PROBABLY. SO THAT COULD BE TO WHERE IF YOU WANTED TO, YOU CAN JUST REMOVE THEIR FUNDING FOR THE RELOCATION AND FUND THEM FOR THE REST. UM, OR UH, IF ANYBODY IS OPPOSED TO THAT, PLEASE SPEAK UP. THAT WAY YOUR VOICE IS HEARD. ANYBODY WHO HAS DONE REMODELING WORK IN THEIR HOUSE CAN TELL YOU ONCE YOU START WITH FOUNDATION REPAIR, IT'S, IT'S LIKE OPENING THAT DOOR'S BOX. OH YEAH. IT'S, IT IS DOMINO OFFENDER. YES, IT'S DOMINO'S BOX. WHICH IS PROBABLY WHY THEY HAVE THAT $15,000 CONTINGENCY. THAT COULD BE WHY THAT'S THERE. THAT COULD BE IN CASE THEY DO HAVE, LET'S SAY, UM, LET'S DO SOME SHEET ROCK REPAIR OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. 'CAUSE I KNOW THAT THAT'S A BIG THING. MM-HMM . RIGHT, IS, UM, SHEET ROCK IS BEING REPAIRED AND THINGS LIKE THAT. SO THAT COULD BE WHAT THAT CONTINGENCY BUDGET IS THERE FOR. SO WHERE DOES IT PUT US IF WE FUND FOUNDATION, REPAIR, CONTINGENCY AND FLOORING, THAT'S 130,000. YES. SO, ALL RIGHT. WHAT'S THAT NUMBER? SO WE HAVE A LOT THEN [01:10:01] AND WE COULD FUND THEM. YOU COULD, THERE WOULD I IF WE DO FULLY FUND THEM, WHICH ON ONE 30 IS NOT FULLY NO, I'M SAYING IF YOU WERE TO FULLY, THAT'S WHAT I'M JUST SAYING. OH, IF YOU WERE TO FULLY FUND THEM, WE WOULD JUST HAVE TO MAKE SURE THAT WE PUT STIPULATIONS, YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING? IN THE SUBRECIPIENT AGREEMENT, YOU KNOW, REGARDING LIKE THE HOTELS THAT THEY'RE GONNA BE DOING RELOCATIONS OR WITHIN THE CITY LIMITS AND FOR HOW LONG THAT THEY ATE. HM. AND FOR HOW LONG, YOU KNOW? EXACTLY. UH, A LENGTH OF STAY, YOU KNOW, WE'LL ONLY FUND UP TO, LET'S SAY, UM, I FORGOT HOW MANY PEOPLE THEY'D SAY ARE ATTENDANCE 2027, BUT YOU KNOW, UP TO X AMOUNT OF DAYS BECAUSE HOW MUCH, I MEAN, EXTENDED STAY HOTELS, I, I DON'T KNOW. BUT THE, UM, I, I JUST KNOW. BUT THAT'S, WE WOULD'VE USED THEM TO PULL THEM OUT AND THEN DO THAT FOR ME. WHAT IS IT? 6 67? THEY HAVE 24 ACCESSIBLE, BUT THREE OF 'EM. DOES IT GIVE YOU THE NUMBER ON THE BOTTOM? OH, THERE YOU GO. OH, IT'S NOT, OKAY. SO MY, MY, MY, MY FORMULA. WAIT, BUT WAIT, I CAN'T SEE THAT YOUR FORMULA IS JUST G FIVE. YES, IT'S JUST G FIVE, BUT I CAN'T SEE IT. CAN YOU FIX IT MONICA? THE FORMULA. SO THE FORMULA OF IT'S JUST SHOWING G FIVE'S SUPPOSED TO BE G FIVE AND G SIX. UH, SO THAT'S 8 57 3 6 3. OKAY. SO GO DOWN TO THE BOTTOM. SCROLL DOWN SOME. SO WE ARE OVER AT ONE 60. . OH, WELL THERE'S THE ANSWER. WE CAN'T PUT THEM, BUT , BECAUSE YOU ADDED THE DIFFERENCE BACK. IF YOU NEED THE DIFFERENCE HERE, SAY WRITE THE AMOUNT THAT WE'RE REQUESTING FOR HOUSING 65. WHAT, WHAT, I'M SORRY. 65. PUT THE TOTAL IN COLUMN F FOR HOUSING INTO COLUMN G. IT'S PROBABLY AN EASIER WAY TO DO THIS, BUT IS GONNA DO THAT. THIS PHONE SAID, SO NOW WE'RE OVER BY 27,000. OKAY, SO LOCATION COULD BE YOU REMOVING THEIR RELOCATION MONEY. YEAH, BUT I'M AT ONE 30 WHAT I'M HAVING. OKAY. WITH THE FLOORING, WE DON'T HAVE ANY ESTIMATES OF WHERE THEY'RE GETTING THE QUOTES FROM, FROM THE FLOORING. WHAT TYPE OF FLOORING ARE THEY GETTING? WHERE ARE THEY GETTING THE FLOORING FROM? WHAT TYPE OF FLOORING ARE THEY GETTING? SO DON DON'T FIND OUT THE FLOORING. YOU KNOW, I MEAN, I, I'M NOT, I SAY NO ONE FLOORING. OKAY. SO DO YOU WANNA THEN DO NO ONE FLOORING BUT DO A PORTION OF THE RELOCATION? SO WE HAVE IT AT ONE 30 RIGHT NOW. EVEN IF THEY DIDN'T, THEY'RE NOT REQUESTING. UM, ELEVATOR ON THIS ONE. ELEVATOR WAS LAST YEAR. THEY FIXED IT. THEY FOLLOWED THROUGH. SO BECAUSE THEY HAVE A HUNDRED AND ELEVATORS, $15,000 EXPENDITURE IN THEIR REPAIR FOR REPLACEMENT FUND. $115,818 WAS USED. HU APPROVED NOWHERE. ARE YOU SAYING FLOWING QUOTES? ARE THEY GETTING THAT PHONE CALL? WE LOVE FLOORING TO DECOR FULLY LOVE RIGHT THERE ON, ON RUIT. NO, WE'RE JUST GOING ON WHAT THEY'RE GIVING US. OKAY, SO THEN WHAT YOU CAN ALWAYS DO IS, IS JUST DO THE RELOCATION PLUS CONTINGENCY PLUS FOUNDATION AND ELIMINATE FLOORING. WHAT, WHAT IS THE METH ON THAT? LIKE 1 38. MONICA, SCROLL DOWN REAL QUICK, PLEASE. OH, WE'RE OVER, AREN'T WE? YEAH, UNDER 2363. SO ADD THAT. 2363 TO BROOK. SO 1 32 WHATEVER HERE. 1 23 63, OH, WHAT WAS IT? 1 23 63? THAT, NO, THAT'S WHAT I'M ASKING. I DON'T KNOW. SCROLL DOWN AGAIN. OH, I THOUGHT THAT'S WHAT YOU WERE TOLD ME. I'M SORRY. 2360. THAT ONE. 2363. RIGHT. ARE ALL OF MY CELLS ADDING UP ? BECAUSE I DID NOT REALIZE THAT THAT WAS HAPPENING. CAN YOU MAKE SURE THE PUBLIC EXERT SERVICE ACTIVITY, LIKE GO TO THE SUM, THE 1 17 3 73 ON THE COLUMN G. [01:15:01] WE SCROLL DOWN A LITTLE BIT. OKAY. YES. AND THAT, AND LOOK AT THE FORMULA. G 12 TO G 21. YES. OKAY. AND THEN GO TO COLUMN, UH, ROAD 20 HERE. THAT TO THE 9 87. SCROLL DOWN REAL QUICK. GO TO THE 9 87 AND JUST I GUESS MAKE SURE IT'S SEVEN G 10 G 22 G 25. OKAY. ALRIGHT. SO TO RECAP, WE HAVE 5 65 ON THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT HOUSING PROGRAMS. 1 32, 360 3 ON ROLLING BROOK APARTMENTS, 26,750 ON NEIGHBORHOOD IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM AREA HOMELESS SERVICES AT A THOUSAND DOLLARS. COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT, TRANSPORTATION AT 71,000. NEW URINE SHOES AT 15,000. JOB READINESS AT 8,500 DOORSTEP BLESSING AT 8,000, 10,000 FOR MEALS ON WHEELS. $873 FOR TALENT YIELD AND $3,000 FOR THE UNITED WAY. $146,000 FOR THE PUBLIC SERVICE. I'M SORRY, PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION PROGRAM ADMINISTRATION. SORRY ABOUT THAT. SO THIS IS YOUR OPPORTUNITY IF YOU HAVE ANY ISSUES WITH ANY OF THIS FUNDING. SHARON, I HAVE A QUESTION. YES MA'AM. JUST BECAUSE IT'S UM, ONCE WE WRITE OUT IF THEY AGREE ON IT AND SO FORTH ON TAB 10, UM, I DON'T KNOW. WE HAVE TO STEP OUT ON THIS ONE 'CAUSE IT HAS TO DO WITH, UM, COUNT YIELD. UM, SO TAB 10, UH, Y'ALL SAID $873, BUT THAT'S TO COVER WHAT BIRTH CERTIFICATE TO PRODUCE IDENTIFICATION OR PRINTING OFFICE SUPPLIES POSTAGE. THEY'RE REQUESTING DIFFERENT LINE ITEMS. SO THE 8 73, WHAT DOES THAT CONSIST OF? JUST SO WE KNOW IF THAT IS THE TOTAL, WHAT IT'S GONNA GO TO. SO RIGHT NOW THEY'RE ASKING FOR 600 IN OFFICE SUPPLIES, 380 IN POSTAGE 600 AND ID CARDS NINE 20 AND BIRTH CERTIFICATES 500 IN HARRIS COUNTY BUS TOKENS. SO YOU CAN ELIMINATE SOME OF THOSE LINE ITEMS. BASICALLY WE GOTTA EQUAL THIS $873. I THINK THAT THREE MOST IMPORTANT ITEMS ARE PROBABLY THE ID CARD, THE BIRTH CERTIFICATES AND THE POSTAGE. YES. ARE, DO Y'ALL AGREE WITH THAT? SO DO YOU WANT US TO JUST SPLIT IT BETWEEN THOSE THREE ITEMS? WELL, I KNOW LAST I MADE A NOTE THAT LAST YEAR SHE ONLY SPENT $200 IN BUS TOKENS DOWN, DOWN ON THAT ONE. AND WE HAVE $873 BECAUSE WE DO PROVIDE THEM WITH LIKE A LITTLE BREAKDOWN OF THEIR BUDGET SAYING, HEY, THIS IS WHAT YOU ARE FUNDED. FOUR, FOUR, AND 73. CAN WE, WE ADDING THE FORM? YES. CAN WE AGREE BIRTH CERTIFICATES AND ID CARDS ARE IMPORTANT? YES. YES. AND THEN 73 FOR POSTAGE. I WILL SAY BIRTH CERTIFICATES ARE MORE EXPENSIVE THAN ID CARDS, WHICH IS PROBABLY LIKE, YEAH, BECAUSE WHEN I GOT MY BIRTH CERTIFICATE FROM LOUISIANA, IT WAS OVER $200. SO, UM, I KNOW THEY JUST DID A, UH, IN THEIR REIMBURSEMENT REQUEST, I THINK ALL OF THE BIRTH CERTIFICATES WERE LIKE 20 SOMETHING AND THEN THE ID CARDS WERE LIKE 11 OR 15 OR SOMETHING. SO DID YOU WANNA MAYBE MAKE THE BIRTH CERTIFICATE AMOUNT A LITTLE BIT HIGHER THAN THE ID AMOUNT? I KNOW YOU SAID FOUR AND FOUR. MAYBE DO FIVE, THREE AND 73. SO I, SORRY, I JUST NEEDED TO MAKE SURE I HAD THAT. YEAH, I DID IT FOR THE OTHERS, BUT I DIDN'T DO IT FOR THIS ONE. SO THANK YOU FOR THAT. ALL RIGHT. OKAY. SO SPEAK NOW OR FOREVER HOLD YOUR PIECE. OH, OH, RONDA ROCK. SHOULD, DO YOU HAVE ANY EXTRA? WE HAVE NO MONEY AT ALL. A A Y FOUR. WE A MEETING WITH YOUR ? NO, I THINK YOU CAN BRING IT UP RIGHT NOW. OH MY GOSH. THOSE CHAIRS ARE NOT, WE HAVE ANY MONEY LEFT DOOR? NO. OKAY. HOLD ON. IS THERE SOMETHING YES. NO, SHE SAID WHAT? NO, THERE'S, THAT'S WHAT [01:20:01] THE ZEROS RIGHT THERE ARE ZERO ON UNDERNEATH THE 9 87. YEAH, THAT RIGHT THERE IS FOR, UM, THE OVERALL BUDGET. THE ZERO ON THE IN COLUMN I IS JUST FOR THE PUBLIC SERVICE ACTIVITIES. BUT THE ZERO UNDER 9 87 AND COLUMN G THAT SHOWS THAT WE HAVE DONE IT ALL. SO WE, IS THERE SOMETHING ALLOCATED ALL THE FUNDS, BUT WE COULD STILL MOVE THINGS AROUND IF WE WANTED TO. YES. YOU CAN STILL MOVE THINGS AROUND IF YOU WANT TO. IS THERE SOMETHING Y'ALL WANNA MOVE FROM 12 TO 21? THE PUBLIC SERVICE ACTIVITIES. SO I KNOW WE ARE, UM, HELPING THE KIDS WITH BACKPACKS. I KNOW WE'RE HELPING THE KIDS WITH, UM, SHOES. AND IF YOU LOOK AT, IF YOU READ YOUR, UM, TAB NUMBER 11 IS ANY DELETE, WHAT THE PERCENTAGE OF, UM, WHAT 20 CHILDREN IS THAT THE CHILDREN ARE, THIS FUNDING WAS SUPPOSED FOR 600 STUDENTS, UH, FOR THIS COMMITTEE. WHAT PERCENTAGE ARE WE GONNA MEET AT THREE? AT 3000? AT 3000? UH, WITH THAT KIND, WITH THE MONEY THAT WE HAVE THERE, HOW MANY KIDS WILL WE BE ABLE TO MEET? NOW DID THEY SAY THAT THE FUNDING THAT THEY REQUESTED FROM US IS GONNA HELP 600 STUDENTS OR IS THAT WHAT THEIR OVERALL PROGRAM IS? ASSIST SYSTEM? IT SAYS C 509, REQUEST FIVE, 600 STEWARDS DURING THE 2020. WHAT? 2026 AND 2027 IS INCLUDED. AND IT SAYS HERE THEY REFUND OF WHAT THEY'RE ASKING 10,000. THEY WERE SUPPORT APPROXIMATELY 170 STUDENTS WHO RESIDE IN THE BAYTOWN CITY LIMITS. AND WHAT PAGE WAS THAT ON? THAT'S THE LAST PAGE BEFORE YOU SEE THAT. SO THE LAST PAGE. YES. THAT'S $58 PER STUDENT. YES. SO 58 DIVIDED BY 3000 FEET. 3000 DIVIDED 58. 51 KIDS. 51 KIDS. YEAH. BECAUSE THE, THE 600 NUMBER THAT YOU'RE USING IS INCORRECT. IT SAID THAT, AND THIS QUESTION THAT THEY ANSWERED IS SAID THAT IT'S 178. RIGHT? 70. SO IT'LL BE ABOUT 50 KIDS WILL STILL RECEIVE HELP DISTRICT ADDITIONAL, ADDITIONAL MARS BECAUSE THEY'RE STILL GETTING JUST THE FUNDING THAT WE GIVE THEM. IT DOESN'T INCLUDE THE OTHER FUNDING THAT THEY HAVE. MM-HMM . SHE GETTING QUITE A BIT. OH, THAT'S A MONICA 300 AND THE HUNDRED. THE WAY THAT I READ THIS, IT'S SAYING THAT THE 10000TH THAT THEY'RE ASKING FOR WILL SUPPORT 170 BAY BY EXPANDING INVENTORY. SO THAT'S LIKE IN ADDITION TO WHAT THEY'RE HELPING, RIGHT? YEAH. 66,000. SO THAT'S 51 WOULD THOUSAND MONTH EDITION. 50. YOU KNOW, GOOD TO KNOW. HOW MANY KIDS DID WE HELP WITH? NEW SHOES NEW YEAR? 300. 300. SO THERE ARE TONS OF KIDS WHO COULD USE SHOES, BUT WE CAN'T HELP THEM ALL. RIGHT? RIGHT. THERE ARE ALSO SENIORS THAT NEED TRANSPORTATION AND SENIORS WHO NEED TO EAT PEOPLE THAT NEED ID CARDS SO THAT THEY CAN GET SOCIAL SERVICES SO THAT THEY CAN GET OUT OF THE CYCLE. HOMELESSNESS. I MEAN, WE CAN LITERALLY SIT HERE AND TALK ALL DAY ABOUT THE NEED THAT'S IN THE COMMUNITY. WHAT WE'RE TASKED TO DO IS, IS TO TAKE THE FUNDING THAT WE HAVE AND TO TRY TO SPLIT IT IN A WAY THAT CAN HELP IT LIKE A BIG IMPACT. YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING? THAT'S WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO. IT'S UNFORTUNATE THAT WE DO HAVE, YOU KNOW, RESTRICTIONS ON THE AMOUNT OF MONEY THAT WE CAN SPEND. BECAUSE IF IT WAS UP TO ME, WE WOULD, I WOULD'VE WELL, IT'S NOT UP TO ME THOUGH, SO IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT I THINK, BUT IT WOULD LOOK A LITTLE DIFFERENT. WHAT WAS DOING RIGHT NOW. IT WOULD LOOK A WHOLE LOT DIFFERENT WHAT WE'RE DOING RIGHT NOW. AND IT WOULDN'T BE THAT 1 67 REQUEST EITHER WOULD PROBABLY BE MORE, BUT WE ARE HINDERED, YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING? BY A PUBLIC SERVICE CAP TO WHERE [01:25:01] WE CAN ONLY DO SO MUCH. BUT IF WE WERE TO SIT HERE AND TALK ABOUT THE PEOPLE THAT WE'RE NOT HELPING, WELL, WE'D BE HERE ALL NIGHT. UM, SO WE, WE, WE DON'T WANNA BE HERE ALL NIGHT. UH, WE WANT, WE DO WANT TO COME TO A CONSENSUS THOUGH. UM, NOW OF COURSE IT, IT, A MAJORITY VOTE IS WHAT'S GONNA HAVE THIS PASS. SO IT WOULD BE UP TO BOBBY TO PUT IT TO A MOTION. SO IS THERE SOMETHING WE WANT PEOPLE, SOMEBODY WHO IS WANTING TO MOVE AROUND. I CAN'T MOVE ANYTHING AROUND RHONDA EXCEPT FOR ME. THAT'S THE ONLY THING I CAN MOVE AROUND. SO WE HAVE TO, THIS IS UP TO Y'ALL TO DISCUSS. NO, THE ONLY ITEM IN QUESTION IS THAT CAUSED IT FOR KICKS ABOUT PUTTING MORE MONEY IN INSIDE THAT PROGRAM. WHERE ARE WE GONNA GET THAT MONEY? THAT'S WHAT FOR THE BABY, YOU WOULD HAVE TO REMOVE FUNDING FROM SOMETHING ELSE FROM SOMEWHERE. SO WHAT'S, WHAT'S LESS IMPORTANT TO Y'ALL? THAT'S A THING FOR EVERYONE. THAT'S ANOTHER THING THAT WE'RE GONNA BE HERE ALL NIGHT TALKING ABOUT. RIGHT? THAT'S FINE. AND DALIA, THIS IS SOMETHING THAT, IT'S NEW TO THEM USING CDBG FUNDS. IT'S LIKE A TEST RUN. YOU DO YOUR $2,500, SPEND IT CORRECTLY, PROVIDE US WITH ALL OF THE THINGS THAT WE NEED. YEAH, I UNDERSTAND. I UNDERSTAND. TO PROCESS THE REIMBURSEMENT. AND IF YOU SPEND ALL YOUR MONEY AND THEN THEY ASK AGAIN NEXT YEAR, YOU CAN PROBABLY GIVE THEM MORE NEXT YEAR. WE ALSO, MAYBE I CUT DOWN THE PEOPLE THAT I EMAILED TELLING THEM ABOUT THE PROGRAM AND WE DON'T GET SO MANY APPLICATIONS BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT DID IT THIS YEAR, RIGHT? WE WEREN'T, WE WERE ABLE TO ACTUALLY OVERFUND COMMUNITIES AND SCHOOLS LAST YEAR. WE WERE ABLE TO PROVIDE MORE FUNDING BECAUSE WE HAD LESS APPLICANTS. BUT THE FACT THAT WE GOT MORE APPLICANTS THIS YEAR SHOWS THAT THERE IS A NEED. MM-HMM . WE CAN'T HELP EVERYBODY. WE CAN HELP SOME. SO Y'ALL JUST DECIDE WHO IT IS THAT IT'S GONNA RECEIVE ALL THAT HELP. AND WHILE YOU'RE ASKING THEM THESE QUESTIONS, YOU KNOW, WE JUST NEED TO KNOW WE HAVE, THEY HAVE, DO THEY HAVE A LOT OF LEFTOVERS FROM THIS YEAR THAT THEY CAN USE FOR THIS COMING YEAR? SO Y'ALL WRITE THEM DOWN WHENEVER Y'ALL ARE ASKING QUESTIONS. NEXT YEAR IF THEY APPLY AGAIN, PUT IT IN THE NOTES ON YOUR PHONE IF YOU'RE LUCKY ENOUGH TO HAVE AN IPHONE. AND YOU KNOW, BECAUSE IF THEY PUT IT ON YOUR NOTES, BECAUSE THESE ARE QUESTIONS THAT Y'ALL SHOULD BE ASKING WHENEVER THEY DO THEIR PRESENTATIONS. THIS IS WHY WE PROVIDE Y'ALL WITH THE BOOKS WELL IN ADVANCE. YOU GET 'EM LIKE THREE OR ALMOST A MONTH PRIOR TO THE MEETINGS. SO, AND THE REASON THAT YOU GET THEM IS SO THAT YOU CAN LOOK AT ALL OF THAT. AND THEN I HAVE THIS NICE LITTLE PAGE RIGHT HERE IN THE FRONT WITH THIS LITTLE LINED UP AREA. THAT'S WHERE YOU CAN WRITE DOWN YOUR NOTES, ANY NOTES THAT YOU HAVE. SO THIS IS WHY Y'ALL RECEIVE YOUR BOOK WITH ENOUGH TIME FOR YOU TO GET THESE QUESTIONS TOGETHER SO THAT WHEN THEY'RE MAKING THEIR PRESENTATIONS TO YOU, YOU CAN ASK THESE QUESTIONS BECAUSE ASKING SOME QUESTIONS THAT YOU'RE ASKING HERE, NOT YOU SPECIFICALLY, BUT JUST IN GENERAL, WE CAN'T ANSWER THEM BECAUSE WE'RE NOT THE ORGANIZATION. SO THAT'S WHY I NEED Y'ALL TO MAKE SURE THAT FOR NEXT YEAR, OH, AND TAB 12 IS ALSO NOTES. BUT NEXT YEAR WE WANNA MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE REVIEWING THESE THOROUGHLY, ESPECIALLY IF IT'S SOMETHING THAT YOU'RE PASSIONATE ABOUT. RIGHT? AND I KNOW THAT YOU'RE PASSIONATE ABOUT CHILDREN. SO IF IT'S SOMETHING THAT YOU'RE PASSIONATE ABOUT, DISSECT IT, TEAR THAT THING APART AND TRY TO PUT IT BACK TOGETHER IN A WAY THAT IT'LL WORK TO WHERE WE CAN ACTUALLY DO IT. I MEAN, RIGHT NOW WE'RE ACTUALLY ELIMINATING TWO WHOLE PROGRAMS. WE'RE ACTUALLY, UM, FUNDING. I MEAN RIGHT NOW TALENT YIELD'S GOT A THOUSAND DOLLARS IN THE CURRENT YEAR. WE'RE CUTTING THEIR FUNDING, WE'RE CUTTING FUNDING FOR A LOT OF PEOPLE. WE DIDN'T CUT FUNDING FOR TRANSPORTATION BECAUSE WE KNOW, ESPECIALLY WITH THE ELIMINATION OF ONE OF THE BUS ROUTES AND WITH THE COST OF GAS AND EVERYTHING, THAT, THAT IS A, A NEED, RIGHT? LIKE A, I MEAN IT'S A BASIC NEED. THAT'S HOW YOU GO TO BUY FOOD. THAT'S HOW YOU GO TO TAKE YOUR KIDS TO SCHOOL IS HOW YOU GO. YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? SHOES FOR KIDS. I MEAN WE'RE STILL HELPING CHILDREN. NEW YEAR, NEW SHOES HELPS KIDS, COMMUNITIES AND SCHOOLS HELPS KIDS. TALENT YIELD. I'M NOT TALENT YIELD STEEL. UM, CLO CLOTHING FOR CLOSETS HELPS KIDS. SO WE ARE ARE HELPING THEM. IT'S JUST A MATTER OF HOW WE'RE SPLITTING IT. BUT FOR US TO BE ABLE TO MAKE AN INFORMED DECISION, WE HAVE TO ACTUALLY READ THESE BEAUTIFUL BOOKS THAT WE PUT TOGETHER FOR Y'ALL. I DID READ, I KNOW BABY. BUT WE ALSO HAVE TO ASK THE QUESTIONS FROM THE THINGS THAT YOU FOUND THERE. IS THIS THE SAME PROGRAM JUST TO REMIND US ALL THAT WAS AT THE SCHOOLS AND THEN IT WAS TAKEN OVER BY UNITED? I HAVE NO IDEA. YES. . TWO YEARS AGO THEY APPROACHED, THEY APPROACHED THE CITY ASKING FOR FUNDS AND ONE OF THE MAIN, IT WAS AT ONE OF THE CAMPUSES. YES. WHERE TO PUT THE, WHERE TO PUT THIS CLAUSE AT WHAT SCHOOLS? YES. UNITED WAY TOO. AND THEN YOU AND I ALREADY TOOK IT AND WE'RE DEBATING ON WHAT HIGHLANDS. HIGHLANDS NO, HIGHLANDS. IT'S OUT OF CITY LIMITS. WE'RE THINKING HOW, UM, LYLE , UM, IN THE MIDDLE AND THEN WE DECIDED HOW ABOUT SAN JACK IT SOUTH TOWN AND, AND THEY DO HAVE, YOU KNOW WHERE THESE SCHOOLS? SAN JACK, ASHEVILLE, BOWIE, CARVER, BAYTOWN JUNIOR, THOSE. I KNOW THAT THOSE ARE PRIMARILY LOW INCOME AREAS, RIGHT? [01:30:01] BUT WE'RE HAMPERED. SO I MEAN, AND IT'S UP TO Y'ALL TO MAKE THE DECISION THOUGH. WE, WE CAN'T MAKE THIS. ALL I CAN DO IS TYPE IT UP. THAT'S ALL I CAN DO IS TYPE IT UP FOR YOU. IT'S UP TO Y'ALL TO MAKE THAT DECISION. AND IF YOU THINK THAT MAYBE MORE FUNDING SHOULD GO TO THAT, THEN Y'ALL NEED TO TALK TOGETHER AND COME TOGETHER AS A GROUP TO DECIDE WHOSE FUNDING IT IS THAT YOU'RE GOING TO CUT SO THAT YOU CAN ACTUALLY INCREASE SOMEONE ELSE'S FUNDING. BECAUSE THIS IS THE HARDEST LITTLE SECTION RIGHT HERE, THIS LITTLE SECTION THAT I HAVE HIGHLIGHTED JUST BECAUSE OF THIS LOVELY LITTLE CAP THAT IS A HARD SECTION TO, TO GO OVER. 'CAUSE WE ARE LIMITED IN OUR FUNDS. NOW, OF COURSE, IF SOME OF Y'ALL ARE RICH, WE CAN ALWAYS ACCEPT MONEY FROM YOU AND THEN WE WILL, YOU KNOW, GIVE A DONATION TO THESE PEOPLE THAT IF WHO DETERMINES OUR CAPS AT THESE DIFFERENT LEVELS. AND WHO CAN WE CONTACT ABOUT HUD? YOUR CONTACT? HU UH, IT'S HUD. UM, HUD HAS A 15% CAP AND IT IS BASED ON THE AMOUNT OF THE ENTITLEMENT. SO I CREATED THIS HANDY DANDY SPREADSHEET HERE AND I TYPE IN THE AMOUNT THAT WE'RE RECEIVING AND IT MATHS FOR ME. SO IT TELLS ME HERE THAT WE OUT OF THE AMOUNT THAT WE'RE RECEIVING, WE CAN SPEND THAT MUCH IN ADMIN AND THAT MUCH IN PUBLIC SERVICES. DID YOU MAKE THIS QUESTION? I'M PROUD OF YEARS AGO, . NO, I'M JUST, YEAH, I MADE IT YEARS AGO. BUT THIS IS HOW, SO BASICALLY WHEN WE GET OUR LETTER FROM HUD, I OPEN THIS UP AND I TYPE IN THE NEW NUMBER AND IT TELLS ME WHAT MY CAPS ARE. I WISH IT WAS HIGHER BECAUSE A LOT OF THESE PROGRAMS COULD USE MORE FUNDING. BUT IF WE WANNA FUND EVERYBODY, THEN WE'RE NOT GONNA BE ABLE TO FUND THEM AT THE AMOUNT THAT EVERYBODY WOULD LIKE TO FUND THEM. AND WE'VE ALREADY ELIMINATED TOO. SO THAT'S JUST, IT'S THE HARD PART ABOUT DOING THIS, RIGHT? ABSOLUTELY. YEP. YOU KNOW WHAT THE CONSIST IS ALREADY IN WISH WANTED. OKAY. GET YOUR NUMBERS IN THIS CALL. NOW, BEFORE I PUT ON THE FLOOR, DOES ANYBODY HAVE ANY COMMENTS, QUESTIONS, OR CONCERNS ABOUT THIS? THIS IS YOUR OPPORTUNITY. IS IT OPPORTUNITY LAST? YOU CAN NOW RECORD YES. THEN CALL A MOTION. DO I HAVE A MOTION FOR IT? AYE. MOTION BY MR. HINOJOSA. SECOND. AYE. MS. LOPEZ, ALL IN FAVOR? I. AYE. ALL OPPOSED. MOTION CARRIES. CITY COUNCIL HAS ALL BLESSING. AND NOW I WILL NOW MOVE ON TO [a.
