JUST AS MS. WILLIAMS SAID, I'LL BE GOING OVER THE MONTHLY CALENDAR FOR FY 20 25, 26.
UM, SO TYPICALLY CDC MEETINGS ARE HELD THE FIRST THURSDAY OF EVERY MONTH.
BUT IF YOU LOOK AT THE CALENDAR THAT WE HAVE, UH, BEFORE YOU TODAY, YOU'LL NOTICE THAT THERE ARE, UM, TWO DATES THAT DO NOT OCCUR ON THE FIRST THURSDAY.
UH, WE DID HAVE TO MAKE THOSE TWO CHANGES, UH, TO THE PROPOSED CALENDAR.
THE FIRST BEING THE OCTOBER MEETING.
[00:05:01]
UM, WE HAD TO MOVE IT FROM OCTOBER 2ND TO OCTOBER 9TH TO ACCOMMODATE THE OBSERVANCE OF YOM KIPPUR.AND THEN SECONDLY, THE JANUARY MEETING HAS REMOVED FROM NEW YEAR'S DAY TO THE FOLLOWING THURSDAY, UM, JANUARY 8TH.
SO IF YOU GUYS HAVE ANY CONCERNS OR YOU KNOW THAT YOU HAVE ANY SCHEDULING CONFLICTS WITH THE CALENDAR PRESENTED TO YOU TODAY, JUST LET US KNOW.
UH, YOU WILL BE GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY TO, UH, COMPLETE OFFICIAL VOTING FOR THIS.
SO I'LL PASS IT ALONG TO CHAIR RUBIN SO THAT SHE CAN CONDUCT THE OFFICIAL VOTE.
ANY DISCUSSION THEN I'D LIKE TO ENTERTAIN A MOTION TO ACCEPT THE CALENDAR AS PROPOSED WITH THE CHANGES TO OCTOBER 9TH AND JANUARY 8TH.
HAS IT BEEN APPROVED? AND THANK YOU ALL FOR LOOKING AHEAD AND MAKING THOSE CHANGES AHEAD SO WE CAN ALL MAKE PLANS FOR THAT.
UM, COMMISSIONER GLN, THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THAT AND THANK YOU STAFF FOR TAKING CARE OF IT.
VICTOR, PLEASE ALSO NOTE THAT COMMISSIONER BARTOS HAS JOINED US, UM, AND IS IN ATTENDANCE AT OUR MEETING.
WITH THAT, I'D LIKE TO MOVE TO OUR COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE REPORTS.
COMMISSIONER, ARE YOU AT A PLACE WHERE YOU CAN GIVE A UPDATE ON THE PUBLIC SERVICES HELPLINE? ESG COMMITTEE MEETING? I, I CAN ACTUALLY, I'M, UH, I, I HAD A LITTLE BRIEFING WITH VICTOR EARLIER ABOUT HOW I WOULD BE TAKING THE CALL FROM THE OPENING GAME FOR THE COWBOYS TODAY.
AND SO I'M HERE AND I WAS TRYING TO FIND A SPACE THAT WAS SAFE WHERE I COULD SPEAK AND I HAVE FAILED.
UM, BUT I AM GONNA GO OVER HERE AND IT'S RAINING.
THIS IS WHAT FOILED MY PLAN IS.
IT'S ACTUALLY RAINING RIGHT NOW.
SO I WAS LIKE, OH, JUST STEP OUTSIDE AND IT'LL BE FINE.
BUT, UM, LET ME ACTUALLY PULL UP MY NOTES 'CAUSE I DO HAVE THEM WITH ME AND I CAN GIVE THE BRIEFING AND I THINK IT'LL BE QUIET HERE.
GOOD, BECAUSE IT'S A LITTLE WILD.
UM, OKAY, LET ME PULL UP MY NOTES.
SO CAN YOU STILL SEE ME ONLINE? I'M, I KINDA LIKE PULL IT UP ON THE SAME.
WE, WE WOULD'VE HAD NO IDEA WHERE YOU ARE.
SO, UM, THE, FOR THOSE EARRINGS.
I KNOW, UH, IT'S, YEAH, IT'S UH, EAGLES NATION OVER HERE.
UM, THE ONE, YES, I SEE A FEW OF US ARE UP HERE.
I'M REPRESENTING, BUT WE GOT IT.
UM, OH, AT FYI, UM, JUST FOR THE CALENDAR, THERE IS ONE DATE ON THURSDAY, DECEMBER THE FOURTH WHERE, UM, I MEAN, WE'LL WE'LL PROBABLY BE DONE BY THEN, BUT THE, JUST NOTING THE COWBOY STATEMENTS AT SEVEN THAT THURSDAY.
SO LET'S TRY TO GET OUT HERE BEFORE THEN.
SO I DON'T, DON'T THINK THAT'S REASON TO CHANGE THE CALENDAR, BUT THANKS FOR LEARNING.
UM, SO ON MONDAY, AUGUST 18TH, THE PUBLIC SERVICES HOP ON ESG COMMITTEE MET AT 5:04 PM AND THERE'S A COUPLE THINGS THAT WE GOT.
SO THE FIRST THING WAS A REPORT BY HAN WILLIAMS AND IT WAS A COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DIVISION REPORT FROM BUDGET AND MANAGEMENT.
AND IT ESSENTIALLY, IT REVIEWED THE PROPOSED SUBSTANTIAL AMENDMENT TO FY 24 29 CONSOLIDATED PLAN AND THE FY 25 26 ANNUAL ACTION PLAN.
SO BASICALLY WHAT IT WAS SAYING, IT WAS THAT IT WAS GONNA ALIGN CITY PLANS, THE CITY POLICIES, AND THE PROGRAMS WITH FEDERAL EXECUTIVE DIRECTORS AND THE ORDERS IN PLACE.
UM, THE, ONE OF THE BIGGEST HIGHLIGHTS OF THIS MEETING WAS THAT THERE'S, THERE'S GONNA BE A DEPARTMENTAL MERGER.
SO THERE'S FOUR DEPARTMENTS THAT ARE GONNA BE MERGED INTO ONE DEPARTMENT.
SO THE FOUR THAT ARE GONNA BE MERGED TO ONE ARE THE HOUSING AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT, OFFICE OF COMMUNITY CARE, OFFICE OF HOMELESS SOLUTIONS AND FAIR HOUSING.
SO ALL THIS IS GONNA CONSOLIDATE INTO ONE NEW OFFICE OF HOUSING AND COMMUNITY EMPOWERMENT.
AND THIS WAS RECOMMENDED BY THE CITY MANAGER BACK ON THE AUGUST 12TH MEETING.
AND THEN THE WAY THAT THIS IS GONNA BE REFLECTED IS GONNA BE INTO THE HUD ACTION PLAN.
SO ALL THAT WILL BE UPDATED AND IT'LL REFLECT THE, THE MERGER AND WHATNOT.
IN TERMS OF A COUPLE OF POINTS THAT CAME UP WHEN WE WERE DISCUSSING THIS WAS HUD HERE, I'M GONNA MOVE UNDER A TREE 'CAUSE IT'S RAINED.
BUT THEY'RE PLAYING A SONG, SO YOU TELL ME IF IT GETS TOO LOUD.
SO A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS THAT CAME UP WHEN WE'RE DISCUSSING LIKE HUD DOLLARS AND WHATNOT, WAS WHAT, WHAT IS THE BASIS FOR FUNDING AND ELIGIBILITY FOR SOME OF THESE PROGRAMS? AND JUST A COUPLE OF THINGS TO NOTE FOR THE COMMISSIONERS WHO WEREN'T THERE WAS THAT HUD PROJECT ALLOCATIONS ARE BASED ON INCOME AND CENSUS DATA.
[00:10:01]
WAS THE INCOME LIMIT, LIKE WHAT WAS THE INCOME LIMIT FOR ELIGIBILITY? AND THE RESPONSE PROVIDED BY MS. JESSICA GALLISHAW WAS THAT IT'S 80% OF THE AREA MEDIUM INCOME, WHICH IS CURRENTLY $93,850.ALSO, ANOTHER POINT WAS THAT HOMELESS INDIVIDUALS ARE AUTOMATICALLY ELIGIBLE FOR ESG FUNDS.
AND THAT HOPWA ELIGIBILITY REQUIRES BOTH A DO DOCUMENTED MEDICAL NEED AND AS WELL AS, UM, A DOCUMENTED MEDICAL DIAGNOSIS AND PROOF OF LOW INCOME.
AND THEN THERE WAS ALSO A CHILDCARE PROGRAM UPDATE THAT MS. JESSICA HAW, WHO IS THE DIRECTOR OF OFFICE OF COMMUNITY CARE AND EMPOWERMENT.
SO SHE PROVIDED THE UPDATE ON, AND HER PRESENTATION WAS BASICALLY KIND OF, UH, IN REFERENCE TO CHILDCARE SERVICES.
SO, I'M SORRY, I'M GONNA HAVE TO CLEAN MY SCREEN.
SHE, ONE OF THE QUESTIONS THAT CAME UP WAS ABOUT THE ECOS PROGRAM.
AND SO THE RESPONSE THAT SHE PROVIDED WAS, UM, SO ECOS IS THE EARLY CHILDHOOD AND OUTTA SCHOOL TIME SERVICES PROGRAM, AND SHE BASICALLY WAS SAYING THAT THE STAFF RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL THE PROGRAMMING ACTIVITIES RELATED TO CHILDCARE SERVICES, UM, IS GOING TO NEED FEEDBACK FROM THIS COMMISSION REGARDING THE ECOS PROGRAM SO THAT WE CAN BASICALLY RESPOND TO THE PUBLIC SERVICES HWA AND ESG COMMITTEE SO THAT WE CAN, SO ESSENTIALLY WE'RE GONNA BE TAKING FEEDBACK FROM THE COMMISSIONERS AND WE MIGHT NEED TO SCHEDULE AN ADDITIONAL MEETING SPECIFICALLY TO TALK ABOUT ECOS PROGRAM AND HOW THIS IS GONNA AFFECT ANY, ANY BUDGETING OR WHATNOT THAT GOES INTO THIS.
THERE'S ALSO A NOTE, THERE WAS ONE OTHER THING TOO.
UM, AND I, IT'S ON MY OTHER ONE ABOUT BRIAN'S HOUSE THAT I WANTED TO KNOW, AND THIS IS NOT PULLING UP FOR ME.
GIMME ONE SECOND WHILE I PULL IT UP.
DON'T ALLOW, I'M SORRY, MY PHONE'S NOT WORKING PROPERLY.
I CAN MAYBE HELP OUT A LITTLE BIT.
UM, COMMISSIONER
AND SO IT, IT DEFINITELY PUT A DENT IN WHAT THE CITY COULD DO WITH THAT.
IS THAT WHAT YOU'RE REFERRING TO? CHAIR? YOU CUT OUT JUST A LITTLE BIT.
DID, WERE YOU GUYS ABLE TO HEAR MY REPORT UHHUH TO DO THAT? YOU'LL NEED TO BE ONLINE
UM, WE, WE WERE ABLE TO HEAR YOUR REPORT.
BECAUSE I WAS LIKE, OH MY GOSH, THAT WOULD BE TERRIBLE.
YEAH, NO, THERE WAS JUST ONE OTHER POINT ABOUT BRIAN'S HOUSE, AND I DIDN'T HEAR IF YOU HAD SAID IT OR NOT, BUT ESSENTIALLY THEY CLOSED THEIR, THEIR DOORS ON MAY 31ST AND THEY HAD BEEN THE SOLE PROVIDER FOR CHILDREN WITH PHYSICAL AND MENTAL DISABILITIES.
AND SO WE KIND OF WANTED TO KNOW WHERE THOSE CHILDREN WERE BEING SERVICED.
AND THE ANSWER TO THAT WAS VOCAL ALCO, WHO WAS THE CURRENT AGENCY FOR PROVIDING CHILDCARE ASSISTANCE FOR CHILDREN WHO ARE EXPERIENCING HOMELESSNESS.
AND THAT PRETTY MUCH WRAPS UP AND THAT'S THE NUTSHELL OF, UH, WHAT WE COVERED DURING THE MEETING.
I I THINK THERE'S A LITTLE BIT OF A DISTINCTION BETWEEN THE, UM, FAMILY SERVED AT BRIAN'S HOUSE AND AT VOGEL, BUT, UM, I, I THINK IT IS A CHALLENGE FOR THE COMMUNITY TO HAVE LOST BRIAN'S HOUSE AND FOR A PLACE FOR CHILDREN WITH THOSE NEEDS TO, TO, TO BE, UM, TAKEN CARE OF IN THAT WAY.
AND I THINK THE CITY IS STRUGGLING A LITTLE BIT REPLACEMENT ON THAT.
SO WE WILL FOLLOW UP WITH THAT.
AND I DO THINK THAT IT WOULD BE A GREAT IDEA FOR STAFF TO COME TO THE COMMISSION AND, UM, BE ABLE TO PROVIDE SOME FEEDBACK ON THE PROGRAMS. SO DO WE NEED TO SCHEDULE THEN? YEAH, IF THE PUBLIC SERVICES COMMITTEE CAN MEET FOR THE ECO PROGRAM, COME AND GIVE A FULL BRIEFING TO THE COMMUNITY.
THAT WILL HELP IN CHANGES THAT.
SO PUBLIC SERVICES NEEDS TO SET A MEETING TIME.
WHEN, WHEN DO WE NEED TO MEET? UH, OR WHEN DOES THAT COMMITTEE NEED TO MEET BEFORE, LIKE WHAT'S THE DEADLINE TO MEET SEPTEMBER? YEAH.
PREFERABLY THIS MONTH BEFORE OUR OCTOBER MEETING, WHICH IS OCTOBER 9TH.
I KNOW YOU'RE ON THE MOVE, BUT DO YOU HAPPEN TO HAVE SOME DATES THAT YOU KNOW, CAN YOU LOOK AND SEE IF THERE'S SOME DATES THAT WOULD WORK, BUT WE CAN JUST GO AHEAD AND GET THAT SAID? OH YES.
AND ACTUALLY ON THAT COMMITTEE IN A SWEET, I'M IN A SWEET SPOT RIGHT NOW SO I CAN ACTUALLY, I HAVE SIGNAL.
SO BEFORE, BEFORE HAVE TO, I KNOW ALREADY YOU SAID BEFORE AUGUST.
[00:15:01]
AT WEDNESDAYS AT CITY COUNCIL MEETING.OH, DO NOT LOOK AT WEDNESDAYS.
UH, WHAT ABOUT THE 22ND? SEPTEMBER 22ND? OR IS THAT NOT, IS THAT TOO CLOSE TO THE AUGUST 9TH DATE? NO, THAT'S GOOD.
THAT IS ACTUALLY ANOTHER JEWISH HOLIDAY.
I JUST THINK THAT'S NOT GONNA BE A GREAT NIGHT FOR THAT COMMITTEE.
UM, DOES THE 29TH WORK OR IS THAT TOO LATE INTO THE MONTH? I THINK THAT SHOULD WORK.
AND DO YOU WANT FIVE O'CLOCK? OKAY.
DOES FIVE O'CLOCK WORK FOR YOU? CAN WE DO FIVE 30 THIS TIME ONLY TO GIVE ME A LITTLE BIT OF TRAFFIC PUSHING? YES.
SO FIVE 30 AND DOES THAT WORK FOR THE COMMISSION? OKAY.
THE COMMITTEE COMMISSIONERS, MENDEZ, GLOBAN, AND ZEKI AND MIA ALSO ON THE COMMITTEE.
DOES THAT WORK FOR EVERYONE? WHAT IS THE DATE TIME, PLEASE? I'M SORRY, WHAT IS THE DATE AND TIME AGAIN, PLEASE? SEPTEMBER 29TH AT 5:30 PM AND ALL ARE WELCOME AND INVITED.
CHEER US ONTO A VICTORY, PLEASE.
THAT THAT'S YOUR NEXT ASSIGNMENT.
CAN YOU GIVE US A, UM, UPDATE FROM THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT HOUSING AND HOME PROGRAMS COMMITTEE HELD ON AUGUST 21ST? ABSOLUTELY.
UH, ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, UM, HOUSING AND HOME PROGRAMS. WE MET ON THURSDAY, AUGUST 21ST, 6:00 PM UM, I WILL NOT REITERATE.
UH, COMMISSIONER BARIENTOS COVERED THE DEPARTMENT CONSOLIDATION USE.
UM, ASSISTANT DIRECTOR WILLIAMS ALSO SHARED THE SUBSTANTIAL AMENDMENTS FOR 24 THROUGH 29, I BELIEVE WAS ALSO, UH, THAT NIGHT AS WELL.
UM, AND THEN, UH, JESSICA UPDATED ME EARLIER THAT, UM, I THINK IT WAS BACK IN MAY, PERHAPS JUNE, WHERE HOUSING, UH, WANTED TO DELAY A MEETING, UM, BECAUSE THEY HAD A NO FILE AND THEY PUT ANOTHER OUT.
I BELIEVE THAT ONE HAS UNTIL SEPTEMBER 17TH.
IS THAT CORRECT? UH, SO WE'LL AWAIT THE RESPONSE AFTER THAT DATE.
AND THEN, UH, MY LAST POINT WOULD BE, UM, I WOULD ENCOURAGE EVERYONE TO ATTEND THE COMMUNITY MEETINGS IF THEY CAN.
AND THIS COMMITTEE IS ABSENT OF A VICE CHAIR.
I BELIEVE THERE WAS SOME THOUGHT AROUND, UM, US FILLING THE FOUR VACANT, MAYBE FIVE VACANCIES THAT THIS COMMISSION HAS BEFORE WE WENT TO SEEK A, UM, A VICE CHAIRMAN.
I WANTED TO KNOW, UM, IT'S BEEN A WHILE WE'RE, AND WE'RE CLOSE TO THE END OF THE YEAR.
UM, SO IF ANYONE IS INTERESTED, THEN PLEASE STEP UP.
I YOUR NAME IN THE A, UM, BUT I DON'T KNOW IF WE SHOULD WAIT.
THE FIELD, THE FIVE VACANCIES THAT WE HAVE NOW, WE'VE BEEN WITHOUT, UH, VICE CHAIR BOARD.
AND THAT WOULD CO CONCLUDE MY, UH, CHAIR MILLS THAT WOULD, UM, CHAIR RUBEN.
THAT WOULD CONCLUDE MY THANK YOU.
ANY QUESTIONS FOR EITHER COMMITTEE CHAIRS? NO.
AND I'LL MOVE INTO MY CHAIR BOARD AND I DO WANT TO ACKNOWLEDGE COMMISSIONER LEWIS HAS JOINED THE PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS COMMITTEE AND WE APPRECIATE THAT.
UM, AND DO ASK THAT YOU ALL REALLY DO CONSIDER, UM, TAKING SOME LEADERSHIP IN THE COMMITTEES.
AS I'VE MENTIONED BEFORE, REALLY THE BULK OF OUR WORK HAPPENS IN THOSE COMMITTEE MEETINGS.
THAT'S REALLY WHERE WE GET INTO THE ISSUES AND REALLY DIG INTO HOW TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE.
AND SO, UM, ENCOURAGE PARTICIPATION AND LEADERSHIP THERE.
WE DO NEED, UM, VICE CHAIRS FOR CITIZEN PARTICIPATION POLICY AND PROCEDURES AS WELL AS ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, HOUSING AND HOME.
AND WE DO NEED CHAIRS FOR FINANCIAL MONITORING, PERFORMANCE STANDARDS COMMITTEE AND PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS COMMITTEE.
AND THE VICE CHAIR REALLY IS THERE JUST TO STEP IN WHEN THE CHAIR CANNOT.
AND SO IT'S NOT A HEAVY DUTY JOB, BUT IT IS A GOOD WAY TO GET SOME EXPOSURE.
SO WE DEFINITELY ASK IF YOU ALL, UM, GIVE SOME THOUGHT TO IT.
AND I THINK EVEN THOSE OF YOU WHO FEEL LIKE YOU HAVEN'T HAD THAT MUCH EXPERIENCE ARE GONNA HAVE MORE EXPERIENCE THAN YOU COMMISSIONERS COMING ON.
SO, UM, STAFF IS REALLY WONDERFUL ABOUT MEETING AND HELPING WITH THAT.
[00:20:01]
TO THINK ABOUT IT.OTHERWISE I WILL BE HAPPY TO MAKE INDIVIDUAL PHONE CALLS.
AND COMMISSIONER LEWIS HAD INTEREST IN JOINING TWO COMMITTEES.
GREAT COMMISSIONER, PUBLIC SERVICE, PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT.
THE OTHER ONE, ONE I'M FAMILIAR WITH.
SO THEN WE'RE ACTUALLY GONNA NEED A VICE CHAIR FOR PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS AND NOT A CHAIR.
THANK YOU ALL FOR STEPPING UP.
AND PLEASE BE THINKING OTHERWISE, I WILL BE FOLLOWING UP.
VICE CHAIR BARTOS, DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING TO ADD AS A VICE CHAIR BOARD? JUST THAT, UM, DON'T BE AFRAID OF JOINING A COMMITTEE AND DON'T BE AFRAID OF JOINING A VICE CHAIR.
AND THE STAFF IS REALLY GREAT AT PROVIDING NOTES AND GUIDANCE AND ANSWERING QUESTIONS AND WHATNOT.
VICTOR, HAVE ANY PUBLIC SPEAKERS JOINED US YET? NO, THERE ARE NO PUBLIC SPEAKERS ONLINE.
SO AGAIN, I JUST WANNA MAKE SURE EVERYONE KNOWS OUR NEXT MEETING WILL BE OCTOBER 9TH, AND I THINK WE WILL ALSO BE PLANNING ON HAVING, UM, A HIGHLIGHT OF ONE OF THE PROGRAMS WE NEED TO SET OF MEETING FOR THE CITIZEN PART.
UM, AND WE ALSO DO NEED TO SET A MEETING FOR BOTH SEPTEMBER AND OCTOBER FOR CITIZEN PARTICIPATION POLICY AND PROCEDURES.
CHAIR MILLS, CAN YOU THROW OFF SOME DATES THAT WORK FOR YOU? YES, THANK YOU, CHAIR RUBEN.
UM, IF THERE IS A SMALL BIT OF OVERLAP BETWEEN PUBLIC WORKS AND MY COMMITTEE.
SO IF, UH, THOSE WHO ARE HERE, UH, AND AS A COURTESY TO CITY STAFF, I AM VERY OPEN TO HAVING THAT MY COMMITTEE GO IMMEDIATELY AFTER PUBLIC WORKS, IF THAT IS ACCEPTABLE TO MY COMMITTEE, WHICH IS TO WHICH IS TO RECAP, UH, COMMISSION OR CHAIR RUBEN, COMMISSIONER BARIENTOS, COMMISSIONER BLACK, COMMISSIONER GLOBIN, AND COMMISSIONER KY.
SO, AND WHICH, UH, IF THAT WORKS FOR YOU ALL THEN, UM, WOULD SIX 30 BE INAPPROPRIATE TIME FOR, UH, THAT COMMITTEE MEETING TO BEGIN? I THINK THAT WOULD BE GREAT.
THEN I WOULD ASK THAT, UH, UH, CITIZEN PARTICIPATION BEGIN AT SIX 30.
SO THAT'S SEPTEMBER 29TH AT SIX 30.
IS THAT, DOES THAT WORK FOR EVERYONE? NO OBJECTION.
AND CAN WE GO AHEAD AND SET A DATE IN OCTOBER? 'CAUSE WE'LL MEET AS WELL.
THAT ONE OCTOBER IS MORE OF A CHALLENGE AND I APOLOGIZE FOR THAT.
I WOULD, UM, BE OPEN TO THE 19TH OR THE 20TH OR THE, WELL THE 12TH IS COLUMBUS DAY, SO, UM, THE 13TH.
UH, SO I'D SAY THE 13TH, THE 19TH OR THE 20TH, I'M SORRY.
I'LL WORK THE 14TH, 19, 20, THE 14TH.
UM, MAY WE, UH, I THINK IT'S NEVER A GOOD IDEA TO, YOU'RE ALWAYS TRYING TO GET YOUR SEA LIGHTS BACK AFTER A THREE DAY WEEKEND.
UM, SO MAY I SUGGEST THE 21ST, WHICH IS A TUESDAY,
[00:25:04]
AND WHAT TIME, UH, WHAT TIME IS, UH, BES OR ARE THERE ANY OTHER CONFL CONFLICTS THAT CITY STAFF MIGHT HAVE WITH THE MEETING TIME ON THAT DAY? SO, UM, I'M OPEN TO THE SAME FIVE 30 AS WAS FOR PUBLIC WORKS IN SEPTEMBER.ANY OBJECTION, ANY CONFLICT? GREAT.
DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY ANNOUNCEMENTS? NOBODY.
THAT'S A VERY QUIET GROUP TONIGHT.
WELL, I APPRECIATE EVERYONE BEING HERE.
I'LL NOW ENTERTAIN A MOTION TO ADJOURN.
IS THERE A SECOND? SECOND YOU DOUBLE SECOND.
ANY OPPOSED? WELL, THANK YOU ALL.
THAT WAS A VERY EFFICIENT MEETING.
AND WE HAVE ADJOURNED OUR SEPTEMBER 4TH COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION MEETING AT 6:26 PM HOPE EVERYONE HAS A GREAT NIGHT.
AND I GUESS COMMISSIONER BARIENTOS, GO.
I'M GONNA WALK IN, RIGHT? UH, UNFORTUNATELY YOU HAVE OUR CONDOLENCES.
CONGRATS TO THEM, BUT WALK IN RIGHT IN.
UM, BUT YES, I WAS GONNA TAKE MY, UM, BACKGROUND OUT, BUT I HAVE NO IDEA HOW TO DO THAT.
SO, UM, TO SHOW YOU THE MADNESS.
THAT'S LINCOLN FIELD RIGHT THERE BEHIND ME.
AND THERE'S NOTHING BUT MOBS OF GREEN EVERYWHERE.
