[00:00:03]

UM, YEAH.

UM, SO, SO IT'S NOT, IT'S NOT THE GREATEST NOW, BUT IF YOU DID SEE THEIR, UH, INSTAGRAM, YOU SAW THAT THERE THEY'RE HELPING, UH, FIND THE ASSISTANT MANAGER FOR, UM, EIGHT WHERE I RENT A CAR.

UH, WHAT IS IT CALLED? UM, YOU ALL RENT A CAR IS BOTH IN PLACENTIA AND ORANGE.

UM, SO THEY'RE DOING A LOT OF GOOD THINGS, UH, BUT WE JUST HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO OPEN THE DOORS AT THE GARY CENTER AT THIS TIME.

THEY DO HAVE THEIR JOB BOARD FOR ADULTS, UH, AT THE YOUTH CENTER OVER ON WHITTIER BOULEVARD.

OKAY.

KELLY, I HAVE SAID, THIS IS COMMISSIONER KEMPER.

I HAVE A CRYOGEN IS ON THE LA HABRA COMMUNITY EMPLOYMENT PROGRAM.

UM, WE, WE TALK ABOUT THE YOUTH IN THE COMMUNITY THAT WE'RE, WE'RE WORKING ON GETTING JOBS FOR THE YOUTH, BUT, UM, I WAS WONDERING IF WE CAN CONSIDER, UM, EXTENDING OR OPENING THAT UP TO ADULTS TO, TO PREVENT THEM FROM FALLING INTO, UM, YOU KNOW, HOMELESSNESS AND THAT SORT OF THING, BECAUSE THEY HAVE GREATER RESPONSIBILITIES IN SUPPORTING THEIR FAMILIES DURING THIS COVID RIGHT.

YEP.

THAT'S WHAT THIS PROGRAM IS FOR.

RIGHT.

THAT'S WHAT THIS PROGRAM IS FOR AS, AS YOU PROBABLY RECALL, THE ONE-STOP, ONE-STOP MOVED OUT OF THE CITY OF LA HABRA QUITE SOME TIME AGO AND THIS PROGRAM, UM, WE WERE TRYING TO INSTITUTE OUR OWN, AND SO WE WERE THANKFUL TO BE FUNDED THROUGH THE CDBG PROGRAM LAST YEAR.

UM, IT'S JUST MOSTLY COVID HAS NOT REALLY ALLOWED US TO BE AT THE PACE OF IMPLEMENTATION THAT WE THOUGHT WE WOULD BE, BUT THAT'S WHAT THIS WOULD DO RIGHT NOW IS TO CONTINUE THE FUNDING FOR THAT PROGRAM TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE ABLE TO, UM, BE ABLE TO PROVIDE MORE SERVICES FOR ADULTS RIGHT NOW.

WE'RE, WE'RE JUST STARTING, UH, MINIMALLY, UM, THROUGH THE CDBG FUNDING FROM LAST YEAR.

OKAY.

THANK YOU.

UM, PART TWO, ACTUALLY, UM, FOR DIGRESSES, UH, ON THE SOCIAL SERVICE OUTREACH OUTREACH PROGRAM.

UM, SO IT LOOKS TO ME AS THOUGH THAT THE QV, UM, SERVICE DEPARTMENT IS PIVOTING INTO LIKE SOCIAL SERVICES.

IS THAT WHAT I'M SEEING HERE? WELL, YOU KNOW, WE ALREADY DO THAT.

IT'S JUST NOW DURING COVID YOU WE'VE IDENTIFIED THAT WE NEED TO DO IT MORE.

SO COMMUNITY SERVICES ALREADY OPERATE IN THE SOCIAL SERVICES REALM.

AS WE DO THE PARK AT MARKET, THE CRCC FOOD GIVING PROGRAM, UH, MEALS ON WHEELS, LAHABRA AND MEALS ON WHEELS, ORANGE COUNTY'S FORMERLY SENIOR SERVE WITH THE CONGREGATE MEALS FOR SENIORS, AS WELL AS HOME DELIVERED MEALS.

UM, AGAIN, WE, UM, WHEN THE FIRE DEPARTMENT CALLS, UM, CODE ENFORCEMENT, THEY GENERALLY CALL US AND WE'RE THE ONES WHO GO KNOCK ON THE DOORS.

IF THERE'S A HOMELESS PERSON AT A PARK, OUR STAFF ARE USUALLY THE ONES WHO HAVE TO INTERCEPT THEM.

WE WORK CLOSELY WITH CITY NET AND, UM, TO, UH, IDENTIFY THE, THE CHRONIC, UH, HOMELESS, UH, THE ONES THAT ARE, YOU KNOW, UH, I, YOU KNOW, DRUNK IF WE'RE FOR LACK OF A BETTER WORD ON, UM, IN OUR, ON OUR PARKS AND OR OF SLEEPING IN OR ON OUR BUILDINGS AND OUR PROPERTY.

UM, SO WE PUT THIS PROGRAM IN THE QUEUE, EVEN THOUGH WE REALIZED THAT THE SOCIAL SERVICES COMPONENT OF CDBG IS ONLY 15% OF THE TOTAL FUNDING.

UM, AND WITH THAT INCLUDES AT THIS POINT, AT LEAST GRAFFITI FAIR HOUSING.

UM, AND THAT'S A PRETTY GOOD CHUNK, UH, AS WELL AS MERCY HOUSE AND THE OTHER PROGRAMS THAT ARE REALLY NEEDED, UH, WITHIN OUR COMMUNITY.

SO WE'RE NOT TRYING TO TAKE AWAY FROM THAT AT ALL.

WE'RE WE JUST WANNA MAKE SURE THAT, UH, WHEN WE HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO APPLY FOR THINGS WE DO SO THAT WAY, UH, IT'S RECOGNIZED THAT THERE IS A NEED, AND HOPEFULLY WE CAN FIND FUNDING, UH, OUTSIDE OF CDBG, BUT THE COUNCIL AND COMMISSION BOTH UNDERSTAND THAT WE REALLY DO NEED THESE KINDS OF PROGRAMS OR THE STAFF, BECAUSE RIGHT NOW WE, WE MIGHT CALL ST.

BERNARD TO GO OUT THERE.

AND HE'S A REC SPECIALIST, YOU KNOW, THAT'S SUPPOSED TO BE DOING SKATEBOARD PARK ISSUES OR, UM, UM, UH, RUNNING ON EASTER EGG HUNT OR MELISSA, WHO'S DOING A DAY CAMP.

SO WE'D LIKE TO REALLY GET, UM, EVENTUALLY INTO, UM, HAVING SOME TRAINED STAFF WHO ARE SPECIFICALLY TRAINED AND CAPABLE OF KNOCKING ON A SENIOR CITIZENS DOOR WHERE THEIR NEIGHBOR HASN'T SEEN HIM FOR THREE DAYS, YOU KNOW, OR IF THE FIRE DEPARTMENT SAYS THAT, HEY, THIS LADY IS CALLING NINE ONE ONE EVERY DAY BECAUSE HE'S LONELY.

UM, THAT WE HAVE SOME TRAINED PEOPLE TO GO INTO HOMES LIKE THAT.

AGAIN, WE JUST PUT IT IN THE QUEUE.

SO THAT WAY WE KNOW THAT EVERYBODY KNOWS THAT, UH, WE'RE THINKING OF THOSE.

AND IF THERE'S FUNDING IN THE FUTURE OUTSIDE OF CDBG INCLUDED, WHICH COULD BE GENERAL FUND OR OTHER GRANTS THAT WE HAVE IT, UM, BASICALLY A SHOVEL READY PROJECTS, UH, IN SOCIAL SERVICES.

OKAY.

[00:05:01]

GO AHEAD, COMMISSIONER.

LABIANCA I WAS JUST GONNA, UM, THIS IS HAPPENING THROUGH THE RECREATION DEPARTMENT AND ABOUT THE PARK AT MARKET AND ALL THOSE SORT OF THINGS.

I THOUGHT THAT WAS THROUGH THE COLLABORATIVE.

NOPE.

WE RUN PARK AT MARKET.

UM, THEY ARE THE ONES WHO HAVE THE CONTACT, JUST LIKE CRCC FOR THE MOST PART IS RUN BY VOLUNTEERS RIGHT NOW, BUT WE DO ALL OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE WORK FOR IT.

SO THAT WAY, UM, WHEN WE'RE COORDINATING WITH THE DIFFERENT, UM, UH, MARKETS THAT DELIVER TO US, UH, ON TUESDAYS, WE DELIVER THE FOOD FOR THE CRCC.

I MEAN, THE PARKING MARKET ON MONDAYS, WE ARE, UH, PUTTING THE BAPTIST TOGETHER.

SO TRADITIONALLY THE, THE PEOPLE WILL COME AND CONTACT THROUGH THE COLLABORATIVE, UH, AND, BUT PEOPLE WOULD PICK IT UP THEMSELVES, BUT BECAUSE THEY HAVE NO WAY NOW OUR STAFF ARE REQUIRED TO PACKAGE IT, ALL THE FOOD AND THEN DELIVER IT WHERE WE ARE NOT USING THE SHUTTLE ANY LONGER.

SO NOW WE'RE COORDINATING IT THROUGH OUR TAXI SERVICE AND WHEN IT COMES TO HOMELESS, BUT YOU KNOW, LIKE MARIE AT THE CHAMBER, REMEMBER WHEN YOU WERE HAVING ISSUES, UM, YOU KNOW, SITTING THERE TRYING TO DO WHAT THEY DID, YOU KNOW, DAVID TRIED TO DO, WE DID.

AND, UM, IT USUALLY ENDS UP LANDING IN OUR LAP.

SO THAT WAY WE CAN FOLLOW UP WITH CITY MET, AND THAT'S WHAT THIS PERSON WOULD HOPEFULLY IN THE FUTURE BE ABLE TO DO.

AGAIN, I DON'T EXPECT, ONCE WE TALK TO THE SUBCOMMITTEE, WE'LL GO WAY MORE INTO DETAIL TOO.

UM, BUT IT'S NOT LIKE WE EXPECT FUNDING BECAUSE WE DON'T WANT TO TAKE IT AWAY FROM GRAFFITI AND, UM, OR, OR ANYTHING ELSE.

UH, BECAUSE WE DO BELIEVE THAT MERCY HOUSE IS IN GREAT NEED AND LIKE, UH, FAIR HOUSING WILL BE IN, UM, IT USED TO BE IN ADMINISTRATION NOW IT'S IN, UM, COMMUNITY SERVICES.

SO WE KNOW THAT THE POT IS LIMITED.

UM, BUT YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT'LL HAPPEN IN THE FUTURE WHEN IT COMES TO, UH, THE GOVERNOR AND ANY OTHER COVID FUNDING THAT COMES AROUND.

UM, I WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE HAD SOMETHING IN THE QUEUE AND THAT PEOPLE IDENTIFY THAT, UH, WE, WE NEED THE SERVICE, WE'RE ALREADY DOING IT AND WE NEED SOME HELP.

NOW, SOME OF THESE SERVICES HAVE COME ABOUT BECAUSE OF COVID.

UM, YEAH, I WOULD SAY WE ARE, EXCEPT FOR PARK MARKET.

WE WEREN'T DELIVERING IT BEFORE.

WE WERE JUST ADMITTED DURING THE PROGRAM AT THE COMMUNITY CENTER, PEOPLE WOULD WALK UP AND PICK UP THEIR OWN FOOD.

BUT OTHER THAN THAT, EVERYTHING ELSE WE'VE ALWAYS DONE OR HAVE BEEN DOING NOW MOST RECENTLY BECAUSE OF COVID NO, NO, ALL EVERYTHING, EXCEPT FOR THE DELIVERY OF FOOD FOR PARK AT MARKET, WE HAD ALREADY BEEN DOING CRCC, UH, THE FOOD GIVING PROGRAM THERE TOO, BECAUSE AS YOU KNOW, CRCC AND, UM, GARRY CENTER, WE'RE DOING TWO DIFFERENT PROGRAMS AND IT WAS, UM, NOT THE MOST ORGANIZED.

AND SO WE'RE JUST WORKING WITH THEM RIGHT NOW, UM, UH, WITH THE COLLABORATIVE TO MAKE SURE THAT THOSE PROGRAMS, UM, ARE DOING WHAT THERE ARE NEED TO BE DOING.

AND, UM, HOW DOES OLG COME INTO ALL OF THIS WITH THE COLLABORATIVE AND, UM, UH, BUT THEY'RE STILL RUNNING THEIR PROGRAM THERE, CORRECT? AT THE CHURCH, YO YEAH.

OH YEAH.

THEY HAVE A BIG FOOD GIVING PROGRAM THERE TOO, BUT, YOU KNOW, THANKFULLY THEY HAVE THEIR STAFF VOLUNTEER TO DO A LOT OF THINGS WITHIN, UM, THE CRCC AND THE COMMUNITY FOOD GIVING PROGRAM.

UM, THEY HAVE STAFF THAT HELP US WITH INDOOR AND OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES, AS WELL AS THEIR VOLUNTEERS WHO THEN ARE VETTED THROUGH THEIR PROGRAM.

AND WE DON'T HAVE TO, SO BASICALLY WITH CRCC, WE ARE THE SAFETY NET TO ENSURE THAT THE PROGRAMS CONTINUE TO EXIST.

UM, SO AS YOU KNOW, UM, DURING COVID, UH, IT'S ALMOST, UH, QUADRUPLED FOUR TIMES THE AMOUNT, UM, UM, SO THEN WE'LL PROVIDE STAFF, UH, WHEN THEY DON'T HAVE ENOUGH VOLUNTEERS, WHICH, YOU KNOW, GENERALLY THAT'S BEEN HAPPENING ON A REGULAR BASIS, AS WELL AS SAY, UM, MEALS ON WHEELS.

LAHABRA WE DON'T RUN THE PROGRAM AT ALL.

WE JUST HELP ADMINISTER IT.

YOU KNOW, WE HELP BY PROVIDING SPACE AND STAFF WHEN NEEDED, YOU KNOW, BUT CARMEN RUNS THE PROGRAM, BUT WE ARE THEIR SAFETY MAP THAT IF, AND WHEN THEY NEED SOMETHING, WE'RE THERE TO HELP THEM.

UM, AS WELL AS, UM, YOU KNOW, CONTACT, UH, UH, RECIPIENTS AND THINGS WHEN NEEDED TO, OKAY, KELLY, THIS IS MIRANDA.

HI.

I WANT TO TRY TO COORDINATE, UM, MAYBE A CONFERENCE CALL WITH YOU AND OUR CONSULTANTS SO THAT WE CAN SEE IF MAYBE WE CAN GET SOME OF YOUR SOCIAL SERVICES OUTREACH APPROVED WITH SOME CDBG CB FUNDS.

IT WOULD JUST BE TEMPORARY BECAUSE WE WOULD HAVE TO TIE IT BACK TO COVID, BUT WE MIGHT BE ABLE TO AT LEAST GET YOU STARTED WITH SOME COVID

[00:10:01]

OH, THAT'D BE GREAT.

YEAH.

THAT'S, THAT'S THE ONE WHERE WE DOING, WE, WE FULLY UNDERSTAND THAT SOCIAL SERVICES MONEY IS TAPPED OUT.

UM, BUT WE JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE WE'RE IN THE CUTE, JUST IN CASE, SOMETHING LIKE THAT.

WHEN SOMEBODY HEARS OF ANOTHER PROGRAM THAT WE MAY BE ABLE TO BE FUNDED THROUGH, THAT WOULD BE WONDERFUL.

OKAY.

SO THEN, UM, I'LL MAKE, UM, I'LL GET IN CONTACT WITH HER TOMORROW AND FIGURE OUT SOME SCHEDULING, AND THEN I'LL CIRCLE BACK TO YOU TO SEND ME IF IT WORKS WITH YOUR SCHEDULE, BECAUSE I KNOW IN THE INTERIM, MAYBE WE CAN TRY TO SEE WHAT WE CAN COVER WITH THE CDBG CD.

YEAH.

THAT'D BE WONDERFUL.

I MEAN, ANYTHING HELPS, YOU KNOW, HOW IT IS.

YEAH.

YEAH.

GREAT.

THANK YOU, MIRANDA.

THAT'S AWESOME.

AND, UM, HIS SISTER'S IN LOUIE AGAIN, AND I, UH, I'M NOT SURE WHICH COMMISSIONER BROUGHT IT BROUGHT UP A REALLY GOOD QUESTION ABOUT, UM, THE EMPLOYMENT PROGRAM OR THE, THE COMMUNITY EMPLOYMENT PROGRAM THAT, UM, I THINK SHE, THAT WAS ONLY FOR, UM, LIKE TEENAGERS OR THE YOUTH, THE YOUTH EMPLOYMENT.

UM, BUT WE DID WITH TTB D CV, WHICH IS A CARER'S MONEY.

WE DID, UM, FUND 30,000 OF THAT TOWARDS OUR, UM, BIG COMMUNITY EMPLOYMENT PROGRAM TO BE ABLE TO ASSIST THOSE THAT HAVE LOST THEIR JOBS SO THAT THEY WOULDN'T LOSE THEIR HOUSING.

AND WE THOUGHT IT WAS IMPORTANT.

SO WE DO REFER SOME OF THE APPLICANTS FROM OUR EMERGENCY RENTAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM THAT THEY GO AND SEE AT AL SO THAT THEY COULD BE PLACED BECAUSE IT STARTS FROM THE, THEIR JOB AND THAT'S HOW SOMEBODY LOSES THEIR HOUSING.

SO WE DID MAKE THAT TIE BACK.

AND, UM, I THINK THAT WAS ALSO, UM, GREAT.

AND NOW WE'RE GOING TO TRY TO SEE IF WE CAN ASSIST WITH OTHERS CDBG CD MONEY.

SO WHY I LIKE HOW IT SAYS IT'S IMPORTANT TO PUT IT OUT SO THAT PEOPLE KIND OF THINK OF WHAT THEY'RE THINKING IN THE FUTURE AND IF THERE'S FUNDS AVAILABLE, THEN IT HELPS EVERYBODY.

YEAH.

THANK YOU.

THANK YOU.

SO I GUESS, UM, WITH THAT, ALL THE QUESTIONS FOR KELLY TO, WE CAN, UM, JUST TALK ABOUT THE LAST, UH, THE PUBLIC WORKS PROJECTS.

YES, I THINK SO.

OKAY.

SO, UM, DOES ANYBODY HAVE ANY QUESTIONS IN REGARDS TO THE PUBLIC WORKS MEMO? UM, AND THINK KELLY MENTIONED EARLIER THAT REALLY IT'S THOSE, THE FUNDS FOR PUBLIC WORKS ARE JUST TO BE ABLE TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY ARE COMPLETED.

THEY WERE FUNDED IN PREVIOUS YEARS, BUT THE MONEY IS TO MAKE SURE THOSE PROJECTS ARE COMPLETED IN THIS UPCOMING FISCAL YEAR.

HI, THIS IS COMMISSIONER GARCIA.

I HAD A QUESTION ON THE COMMUNITY CENTER PARKING LOT AMOUNT REQUESTED.

SO THIS IS IN ADDITION TO THE MONEY THAT WAS APPROVED LAST YEAR.

IS THAT CORRECT? UM, HI, THIS IS MIRANDA.

SO YES, BUT THE PROJECTS ARE BEING BROKEN DOWN A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENTLY THAN WE ANTICIPATED.

WHEN WE CAME LAST YEAR, ENGINEERING HAS EXPERIENCED A, UM, A RECENT RUSH OF, UH, LOSS OF STAFF AND THEY HAVE ONE NEW STAFF MEMBER THAT IS CURRENTLY STARTING TO WORK ON PROJECTS.

SO WE'RE TAKING A TIERED APPROACH WITH SOME OF THE PROJECTS NOW WHERE WE'RE DOING, UM, EITHER PURCHASE DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION AS DIFFERENT FISCAL YEARS.

AND WITH THAT, WE'VE HAD TWO PROJECTS THAT WE ARE DOING SUBSTANTIAL AMENDMENTS ON THAT WERE NOT INCLUDED IN THE ORIGINAL PROJECT.

AND ONE OF THEM WAS A SECURITY SYSTEM FOR THE SKATE PARK.

I MIGHT HAVE GOTTEN THAT INCORRECT KELLY.

IT'S LIKE A, I THINK IT'S LIKE A CAMERA SYSTEM OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT CAMERA.

YEAH, YEAH, YEAH.

SO THAT WAS A PROJECT THAT WASN'T ORIGINALLY INCLUDED AND THE FISCAL YEAR, 2020, 2021 ALLOCATIONS THAT WERE REVIEWED BY COMMISSION, BUT THAT WERE APPROVED THROUGH SUBSTANTIAL AMENDMENT WE'RE IN THE PROCESS OF GOING THROUGH AN ADDITIONAL SUBSTANTIAL AMENDMENT FOR FISCAL YEAR 20, 20, 2021.

UM, THERE WAS A NEW PROPERTY OWNER ON THE HARBOR BOULEVARD THAT IS INTERESTED IN MAKING HIS BUILDING, UM, UH, SUBDIVIDING THE PARCEL, THE BUILDING INTO FOUR DIFFERENT, UM, TENANT SPACES AND MODERNIZING IT TO MAKE IT MORE ATTRACTIVE TO, UH, BUSINESSES THAT ARE LOOKING FOR A COMMERCIAL SPACE TODAY IN ORDER TO HELP FACILITATE THAT, UH, PROJECT STAFF IS MEETING WITH

[00:15:01]

THEN WE'LL NEED TO DO THE, UM, TENANT IMPROVEMENTS TO THE BUILDING.

AND WHAT ALSO ALLOW US TO USE THAT SPACE TO HELP OFFSET REQUIRED PARKING FOR BUSINESSES WITHIN THAT GENERAL AREA, AND WOULD ALSO ALLOW THE CITY TO USE THAT SPACE, UM, AS THEY PLAN FUTURE EVENTS OR THE CITY IN ORDER TO MAKE IT ELIGIBLE UNDER CDBG, WITHOUT HAVING TO DO A SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNT OF DOCUMENTATION FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS, WITH THE BUSINESSES THAT WILL LOCATE THAT PARTICULAR SPACE.

WE ARE RECOMMENDING THAT, UM, WE DO IT AS A PUBLIC PARKING LOT BECAUSE IT'S IN A LOW INCOME CDC, CDBG CENSUS TRACT OUT THE QUALIFIES.

SO THERE WERE TWO SUBSTANTIAL AMENDMENTS THAT AFFECTED THE, THE BUDGETS FOR ALL OF THE PROJECTS THAT WERE APPROVED IN FISCAL YEAR 2020, BUT IT ACTUALLY WORKS FOR ENGINEERING BECAUSE IT ALLOWS THEM TO BREAK THEIR PROJECTS UP OVER TWO TO THREE YEARS WHERE THEY CAN FOCUS ON PURCHASE DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION IN DIFFERENT YEARS.

AND THEN IT WILL ALSO HELP US MEET OUR DEADLINE WITH HUD FOR WHEN WE HAVE TO SPEND MONEY WITHOUT HAVING TO SIT ON MONEY FOR MULTIPLE YEARS WITHOUT ANY PROGRESS ON A PROJECT.

SO YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT THE ALDRIDGE IMPROVEMENT PROJECT, CORRECT? THAT'S THE NEW ONE.

SO THIS 196,000 ADDITIONAL IS NOT FOR THE COMMUNITY CENTER PARKING LOT.

IT'S FOR THE PARKING THAT WILL PARKING LOT ON ALDRIDGE, OR MAYBE I'M NOT COMPLETELY FOLLOWING.

SO THE 196,000 IS WHAT'S ULTIMATELY GOING TO BE THE FINAL APPROVED, UH, FUNDING AMOUNT FOR THE COMMUNITY CENTER OF A PARKING LOT, UH, FOR THIS FISCAL YEAR.

AND THAT'S GOING TO ALLOW THEM TO DEMOLISH THE EXISTING BUILDING TO DO ALL THE DEMO, AND THEY'RE GOING TO START DESIGN.

THEY ACTUALLY PLAN ON BRINGING A CONTRACT FOR DEMOLITION TO COUNCIL AND FEBRUARY.

UM, AND THEN AFTER THAT, THEY'LL START WORKING ON THE DESIGN OF THAT PARKING LOT.

SO WAS THE THREE 96 FROM LAST YEAR, NOT COMPLETELY USED.

UM, UM, IT HASN'T BECAUSE THEY HAVEN'T, THEY'RE STILL WORKING ON THE, UM, BACK FOR THE DEMOLITION AND THEN THAT'LL GO TO COUNCIL IN FEBRUARY.

SO THIS YEAR, WHEN WE, WHEN WE SAT DOWN AND TALKED TO ENGINEERING, WE ANTICIPATE THAT THEY'RE PROBABLY GOING TO NEED FOR THIS FISCAL YEAR 196,000, THE 65,000 THAT WE'RE PROPOSING FOR FISCAL YEAR 20.

WAIT, I'M SORRY.

I'M LOOKING AT THE WRONG.

THE ONE 96, SIX 23 THAT WERE PROPOSED, UM, IS GOING TO ALLOW THEM TO FINISH THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE PROJECT DURING THE NEXT, THE DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION OF THE PROJECT DURING THE NEXT FISCAL YEAR.

SO, SO THE TOTAL COST OF THIS COMMUNITY CENTER PARKING LOT PROJECT IS GOING TO BE THE THREE 96 PLUS THE ONE 96.

NO, IT'S JUST GOING TO BE THE THREE 96, BUT IT'S GOING TO BE BROKEN DOWN INTO MULTIPLE YEARS.

OKAY.

BUT I THINK I GOT LOST.

THAT'S A BIT CONFUSING ONLY BECAUSE YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT THE COMMUNITY CENTER, PARKING AND ALDRIDGE AS WELL.

SO I WAS, I WAS JUST, YEAH, I GOT LOST.

SO IT'S ALL THE ALDRIDGE PROPERTY PROJECT IS A SEPARATE ISSUE, CORRECT? MIRANDA, CORRECT.

WELL, YEAH, THAT'S NUMBER FOUR, BUT IT WAS LUMPED INTO THE SAME CONVERSATION AS NUMBER ONE.

SO THAT'S WHY I WASN'T SURE IF THERE WAS A RELATIONSHIP THERE, ALL OF THE FUNDING FOR ALL OF LAST YEAR'S PROJECTS, EXCEPT EXCEPT FOR THE SKATEBOARD PARK, UH, HAS SHIFTED TO STAFFING.

AND THEN IT'S DONE TO ALLOW FOR THE ALDRIDGE PROJECTS YOU'LL BE PURCHASED, DESIGNED AND CONSTRUCTED, YOU KNOW, WHAT MIGHT BE HELPFUL, AT LEAST FOR ME, BECAUSE IN MY MIND, LIKE I SAID, I WAS ADDING THE THREE 96 PLUS THE ONE 96, WHICH KIND OF ALARMED ME.

UM, SO IS IT POSSIBLE TO HAVE LIKE A TOTAL COST ADDED TO EACH

[00:20:01]

WE'RE IN THE PROCESS OF REALLOCATING THAT MONEY.

NOW I WILL KNOW FOR SURE THAT EVERYTHING IS GOING TO GO THROUGH AS PLANNED AFTER WE TALK WITH COUNCIL ON THE SEVENTH, THE 19TH OF THIS MONTH.

SO AS SEE, AS OF RIGHT NOW, UM, WE APPROVED 396 LAST YEAR, BUT IT REALLY IS ZERO BECAUSE, UM, WE WEREN'T ABLE TO DO IT IN THAT MANNER.

SO WE'RE REALLOCATING, THAT'S THREE 96 AND NOW REQUESTING 190 SOMETHING.

AND WE'LL COME BACK NEXT YEAR TO COMMISSION FOR THE COMPLETION OF THE PROJECT WITH A DIFFERENT AMOUNT.

I, YEAH, I HAVE A BREAKDOWN THAT I USED AND WHEN WE MET WITH STAFF, SO THE ORIGINAL PROJECT AMOUNT FOR COMMUNITY CENTER PARKING LOT IS THREE 96, SIX 23.

THAT'S NOT CHANGING, BUT WHAT'S HAPPENING IS THIS FISCAL YEAR WE'RE, UH, SUGGESTING THAT IT CHANGES TO 200,000.

AND THEN FOR FISCAL YEAR 2021, 2022, WHICH IS WHAT YOU'RE LOOKING AT NOW, WE'RE SUGGESTING THAT WE GIVE THEM BACK THE ONE 96, SIX 23.

SO THEIR TOTAL PROJECT AMOUNT IS STILL THREE 96, SIX 23.

AND I HAVE THE NUMBERS FOR EACH PROJECT, IF THAT MAKES IT EASIER FOR ANYONE.

YEAH.

AND WE'LL DISCUSS THIS MORE IN OUR SUBCOMMITTEE, UM, AND BRING IT BACK TO COMMISSION IN, UM, FEBRUARY, RIGHT? YES.

BECAUSE WE'LL HAVE A FULL STAFF REPORT IN FEBRUARY.

THIS IS NOT REALLY ABOUT THE FUNDING TONIGHT.

IT WAS ABOUT THE PRESENCE OF PATIENTS FEBRUARY'S MEETING IS WHERE WE GO INTO THE DEEPER DISCUSSION ABOUT FUNDING.

YEAH.

AND WE CAN, SO WE COULD GO THROUGH ALL THESE DETAILS IN THE SUBCOMMITTEE.

SO THAT WAY, UM, WE, UM, WE DON'T HAVE TO DO THAT NOW.

RIGHT.

BECAUSE IT SHOULD BE, THIS SHOULD BE JUST INTRODUCTION AND THEN WE'D GO TO THE SUB COMMITTEE.

OKAY.

SO EVERYONE CAN TAKE IT HOME AND READ IT AND HAVE, UM, QUESTIONS, UM, AGAIN AT THE NEXT MEETING.

UM, OR GIVE IT TO THE MEMBERS FOR THE SUBCOMMITTEE.

YEAH.

AND THE STAFF REPORT FOR FEBRUARY WE'LL HAVE THE BREAKDOWN, UM, FOR ANY APPROVED CHANGES TO THE CDBG FOR THIS CURRENT FISCAL YEAR THAT WE'RE IN.

AND THEN I WILL DO THE PROPOSAL FOR THE NEXT, UH, FOR FISCAL YEAR 2020 FOR FISCAL YEAR 2021 AND FISCAL YEAR 2022.

SO I'LL BREAK ALL OF THAT DOWN.

AND THE NEXT STAFF REPORT, THAT'S WHEN WE'LL BE DEALING WITH THE FUNDING.

OKAY.

OKAY.

AND THEN, UM, UM, PROJECT NUMBER FOUR, THE ALDRIDGE THAT HAS ALREADY BEEN, UM, WE KNOW THAT THAT QUALIFIES AND IS ACCORDING TO THE GUIDELINES OR RULES OR WHATEVER.

YES.

IT'S ELIGIBLE FOR CDBG FUNDING.

OKAY.

HOW DO WE KNOW THAT I CHOSE THE EASIEST PATH? UM, WE COULD HAVE MADE IT ELIGIBLE TWO WAYS UNDER ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT ARE AS A PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT PROJECT, BY DOING IT UNDER ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, I WOULD HAVE TO WORK WITH THE ORGANIZATIONS FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS, POSSIBLY UP TO 15 YEARS DOCUMENTING TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY'VE EITHER, UM, HALF THE NUMBER OF JOBS THAT WERE REQUIRED OR WHATEVER, BECAUSE IT'S IN A LOW INCOME CENSUS TRACT.

UM, WE ARE, WE'VE DECIDED TO DO IT AS A PUBLIC PARKING LOT BY DOING IT AS A PUBLIC PARKING LOT.

WE CAN DO IT UNDER CDBG, JUST BASED ON THE CENSUS TRACK THAT HAS BEEN WITHOUT HAVING TO DOCUMENT UP BUSINESS.

OKAY.

OKAY.

AND THE OWNERS, I HAVE A BRIEF, YES.

THE OWNER IS ON BOARD AND, UM, FROM COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT, UM, STANDPOINT, IT'S EXCITING BECAUSE THIS IS ONE OF THE FEW OWNERS WHO HAVE BEEN WILLING TO MAKE A BIG INVESTMENT ON THE BOULEVARD.

HE'S SPENT ABOUT ONE AND A HALF MILLION DOLLARS PURCHASING THE BUILDING, AND HE'S STILL LOOKING TO PUT ANOTHER SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNT OF MONEY INTO DOING SOME INFRASTRUCTURE.

SO WE'RE EXCITED ABOUT THE POSSIBILITY OF STARTING TO TURN AROUND LOVE LA HARBOR BOULEVARD.

YEAH.

THAT SOUNDS GOOD.

THE, UM,

[00:25:01]

UM, YEAH.

UM, ANY OTHER QUESTIONS GOING TO SHARE? NO.

NOPE.

I THINK WE ARE GOOD.

IT'S SEEMS SO ODD DOING IT THIS WAY.

GETTING ON AUDIO ZOOM.

YES.

YEAH.

I'M ASSUMING EVERYBODY'S SHAKING THEIR HEAD.

YES OR NO.

IT'S HARD BECAUSE THIS IS WHERE YOU DO PRESENTATIONS.

SO YOU DON'T WANT TO ENTER IN INTERRUPTED, THEN YOU DON'T SEE WHAT WE'RE SAYING OR SMILING OR RIGHT, RIGHT.

LIKE REMIT.

BUT I THINK THAT IF NOBODY HAS ANY OTHER QUESTIONS, I THINK THAT CONCLUDES OUR PRESENTATIONS FOR TONIGHT.

THANK YOU.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

THANK YOU.

THANK YOU.

THANK YOU.

OKAY, BOB.

THANK YOU.

HAVE A GOOD EVENING.

BYE.

BYE.

KELLY OR KIM, DO WE HAVE ANY COMMENTS FROM, UM, NOPE, NO COMMENT FROM US.

NOT FOR ME.

AT LEAST I CAN.

NO, I THINK WE'RE GOOD.

OH, YAY.

OKAY.

I'M LIKE, WAIT A MINUTE.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN NO COMMENTS? OH, NO, NO, NO.

I'M SORRY.

I'M SORRY.

I THOUGHT YOU MEANT ON CDB D NO, NO, NO.

I THOUGHT WE WERE DONE WITH THAT.

WELL, I DO HAVE A FEW COMMENTS.

SO JUST TO KEEP YOU GUYS ABREAST OF WHAT WE'RE DOING, I KNOW IT'S LATE AND WE'VE BEEN ON THIS PHONE FOR AN HOUR AND A HALF NOW, BUT MAYBE, UM, IT'S STILL GOOD TO SAY.

UM, SO FOR US, UM, AS YOU KNOW, THE DEPO THEATER, UM, UH, THE, THEY, WE ARE, UM, I'M SORRY, LET ME TAKE A BREATH.

UH, WE ARE RFP, WE'RE REQUESTING PROPOSALS FOR A NEW VENDOR AT THE DEPOT THEATER.

IT'S KIND OF EXCITING FOR US.

AND, UM, WE HOPE TO HAVE A RECOMMENDATION TO COMMISSION, WHICH IT SHOULD BE EXCITING FOR YOU GUYS TO, UM, TO LOOK AT SOON.

UM, THEY'RE DUE MARCH 1ST, ALL OF THE, UM, PROPOSALS.

AND WE DON'T KNOW IF WE CAN MAKE IT TO YOU GUYS IN MARCH, BUT DEFINITELY BY APRIL, WE'LL BE COMING TO YOU WITH A RECOMMENDATION OF CHOOSING A VENDOR TO OCCUPY THE DEPOT THEATER.

UM, WE WERE TRYING TO HOLD OUT FOR COVID, BUT SINCE IT LOOKS LIKE IT'S NOT GOING TO CHANGE ANYTIME SOON, UH, WE WENT AHEAD AND SENT, UH, SENT OUT THE RFP, UH, SPEAKING OF COVID AS YOU KNOW, OUR SPECIAL EVENTS ARE NOT AS WE KNEW IT IN THE PAST.

SO WE'RE STILL LOOKING FOR IDEAS AND, UM, COMMITMENTS OF HOW WE'RE GOING TO RUN OUR EASTER PROGRAM AND OUR 5K, BUT WE WANT TO DO AT LEAST SOMETHING THAT RESEMBLES, UH, BOTH OF THOSE PROGRAMS. WE THINK THEY'RE TOO IMPORTANT TO LOSE.

THAT ALSO INCLUDES THE CITRUS FAIR.

I'M HOPING THAT, UM, MAYBE WE CAN SIT DOWN WITH THE MEMBERS OF THE CHAMBER, UM, TO DISCUSS WHAT THEY THINK MIGHT OR MIGHT NOT HAPPEN.

THE LIONS HAVE ALREADY COME TO US AND HAVE PUSHED BACK THEIR CORN FESTIVAL TO THE LAST WEEKEND IN SEPTEMBER, UH, KNOWING THAT THEY DON'T BELIEVE IN THAT NEITHER DO WE, THAT WILL BE AVAILABLE THE FIRST WEEKEND IN AUGUST.

UM, WE ARE STILL GEARING UP TO TRY TO RUN A 4TH OF JULY PROGRAM, BUT IT'S KIND OF, UM, LOOKING LIKE WE WON'T BE ABLE TO HAVE THE THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE GATHERING AT THE PARK LIKE WE HAVE IN THE PAST EITHER, BUT WE'RE STILL WORKING ON A CONTRACT FOR FIREWORKS.

AND IF IT'S, UM, WE CAN'T HAVE A CORRAL, WE WILL, UM, AS YOU KNOW, COVID IN THE COMMUNITY, UM, IS PRETTY HIGH.

AND IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN LAHABRA, HIS NUMBERS ARE REALLY, REALLY BAD.

UM, AS YOU KNOW, WE WERE RIGHT BEHIND ANAHEIM AND SANTA ANA AND, UM, SOME POLLS SHOW THAT WERE EVEN WORSE THAN THE TWO OF THOSE, UH, CITIES.

NOW WE'RE WORKING ON VACCINES, YOU KNOW, THEY ARE DEPLOYING THEM.

UM, WE'RE IN, I THINK TIER ONE C OR ONE B MAYBE AT THIS POINT WITHIN THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA OR, UM, THE COUNTY OF ORANGE.

UH, BUT THE, UH, AREA AGENCY ON AGING HAS REACHED OUT AND ASKED IF WE WOULD HOST, UM, A POINT OF DISTRIBUTED DISTRIBUTION, A POD PROGRAM FOR VACCINATIONS FOR THE ELDERLY.

SO WE JUMPED IT AND WE'RE, HOPEFULLY WE ARE APPROVED AND WE CAN START VACCINATING OUR OF 65 AND OLDER AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

UM, IN THE FIRST HERE, UH, IF YOU GUYS ARE PAYING ATTENTION IN THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA, UM, HEALTH WORKERS WERE FIRST AND, UH, FIRE DEPARTMENT GOT THERE FOR SOME REASON.

THE POLICE DEPARTMENT WERE IN THAT FIRST

[00:30:01]

SO WE'RE HOPING THAT OUR POLICE DEPARTMENT, AT LEAST THOSE WHO WANT TO ARE GETTING A NOW, UM, BECAUSE IT IS DANGEROUS OUT THERE.

UM, ALL OF OUR PROGRAMS STILL ARE REASONABLY RUNNING, CHILD DEVELOPMENT AND REC DAY CAMPS ARE BOTH RUNNING, BUT AS YOU KNOW, AS IT IS EVERYWHERE ELSE, WE ARE FINDING POSITIVES WITHIN OUR EMPLOYEES AND OUR CHILDREN.

SO WE'RE TRYING TO, YOU KNOW, MAKE IT AS SAFE AS POSSIBLE FOR EVERYBODY, BUT IT'S A LITTLE SCARY.

OUR MUSEUM CONTINUES TO RUN ON, UM, ONLINE CLASSES AND DROP BY PICKUP PROGRAM.

UM, AND EMPLOYMENT AND TRAINING IS STILL CONTINUING TO WORK IN SERVE.

UM, IF ANYBODY KNOWS ANYBODY THAT NEEDS SERVICES OR KNOW ANYBODY THAT'S LOOKING TO HIRE PEOPLE, MAKE SURE YOU SEND THEM THEIR WAY, OUR FACILITIES, UH, PROGRAM.

THEY'RE DOING A LOT OF WORK RIGHT NOW, YOU KNOW, WITH THE SANITIZING AND CLEANING OF ALL OUR FACILITIES, AS WELL AS THE GRAFFITI PROGRAM, UH, BECAUSE WITH KIDS IN IDLE TIME, IT MAKES IT A LITTLE DIFFICULT ON US FOR GRAFFITI AND SPEAKING OF IDLE TIME HOUR, UH, SKATEBOARD PARK, UH, WE HAD 24 HOUR SECURITY BECAUSE OUR CARES ZACK MONEY WAS ABLE TO PAY FOR IT.

WE DON'T HAVE THAT KIND OF MONEY.

OF COURSE.

UM, SO OUR SECURITY GUARD SERVICES HAVE BEEN REDUCED TO, UH, BASICALLY 11:00 AM TO 8:00 PM, BUT AT LEAST WE HAVE THAT.

SO WE'RE REQUIRING, UM, HELMETS AND PROTECTIVE GEAR FOR ANYBODY WHO ENTERS.

AND IT'S REALLY HELPED BECAUSE WE HAVE A LOT OF, UH, YOUNGER CHILDREN WHO ARE NOW GOING TO THE SKATEBOARD PARK.

AND, UM, AND WE LOVE THAT.

WE HOPE THE GRAFFITI AND VANDALISM DOES NOT COME BACK TO WHAT IT WAS PRE COVID, UM, IN THE OVERNIGHT HOURS.

BUT WE'LL BE MONITORING THAT TO SEE, UH, THAT'S PRETTY MUCH IT FOR THE REC REPORT.

UM, IF ANYBODY HAS ANY QUESTIONS, I'LL BE HAPPY TO ANSWER OR ANY SUGGESTIONS AT ALL.

THANK YOU, KELLY.

THAT'S QUITE A BIT, ACTUALLY.

I KNOW THAT YOU MET ON CDBG.

WELL, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THAT UPDATE.

THANK YOU.

THAT'S GREAT.

THE POD AND WANTING.

I KNOW, I REALLY HOPE WE CAN APPROVE IT.

YES, DEFINITELY.

I HOPE YOU HAVE A COUPLE OF PEOPLE ASKING ABOUT WHAT, THAT INFORMATION THAT YOU EMAILED.

SOME ASKING ABOUT HOW TO GET HIGH, TO GET BACK, TO NEED IT.

I'M SO I'VE BEEN SENDING THEM OUT TO DISNEYLAND.

I KNOW IT'S YES.

I THINK IT OPENS TOMORROW.

HUH? OPEN TOMORROW.

NO, FOR, FOR VACCINATIONS.

OH, OKAY.

OKAY.

YEAH.

THAT'S WHAT I READ.

YEAH, BUT THEY'RE STILL IN THE TIER PROGRAM, SO NOT EVERYBODY CAN GO YET.

YEAH.

WE ALL HAVE TO WAIT OUR TURN, BUT IS IT, OR IS IT, OH, ARE THEY ELIGIBLE NOW? I KNOW LA COUNTY, BUT THE ORANGE COUNTY THAT'S GOOD.

SO, UM, THAT IS GOOD BECAUSE THOSE PEOPLE THAT, WHERE WE ARE, UM, AND I WILL, UH, SET UP AN APPOINTMENT WITH YOU TO TALK OVER THE PRELIMINARY ON THE CITRUS HERE.

YEAH.

THAT'D BE WONDERFUL WHENEVER YOU GET A CHANCE.

OKAY.

PERFECT.

PERFECT.

THANKS.

HEY KELLY, THIS IS TERESA.

IS I HAVE A QUESTION.

UM, DO, HAS THE GOVERNOR, UM, RELEASED ANY TYPE OF INFORMATION ON HOW WE'RE GOING TO MOVE FORWARD AS FAR AS SUSTAINABILITY? OH, NO, I HAVEN'T SEEN ANYTHING.

YOU KNOW, THEY HAD A BUDGET SURPLUS OF ALL THINGS THIS YEAR, IF YOU SAW THAT, UM, UH, BECAUSE THEY HAD REDUCED THEIR BUDGET, BUT WITH ALL THE TAXES AND EVERYTHING ELSE, PEOPLE ARE STILL PAYING SALES TAX.

I THINK, OH, I READ THAT THEY HAD CLOSE TO 50 OR $40 BILLION OR 24.

MAYBE IT WAS BILLION DOLLAR SURPLUS THIS YEAR.

AND SO WE'LL SEE HOW HE DISTRIBUTES THAT.

UM, I KNOW, I THINK IT WAS 2.4 BILLION WAS GOING TO, HE WAS PROPOSING $600 PAYMENTS TO ALL CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS.

UM, WITH LOW INCOME DON'T KNOW WHAT THE THRESHOLD WAS, BUT THAT WAS 2.4 BILLION OF IT.

WE'RE HOPING THAT LOCAL GOVERNMENTS GET SOMETHING BECAUSE WE WERE, UM, ELIMINATED FROM THE FUNDING THAT THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT PUT OUT WITH THEIR STIMULUS PLAN.

SO WE'RE, UM, WE'RE A LITTLE BIT SAD ABOUT THAT BECAUSE OF COURSE, AS YOU KNOW, LOCAL GOVERNMENT DOES SO MUCH TO TOUCH OUR RESIDENTS.

UM, WE'RE HOPING, I'M SORRY, GO AHEAD.

YEAH, NO, GO AHEAD.

I MEAN, YEAH, THAT'S, IT'S INTERESTING.

I WAS JUST READING ON HOW THEY'RE GOING TO PUT A BOATLOAD OF MONEY INTO THE PORTS OF LONG BEACH AND SAN P WAIT, SAN PEDRO.

THOSE ARE BIG PORTS IN IT.

YOU KNOW, IT PROVIDES A LOT OF, UH, JOBS AND TAXES, UH, FOR THE CITY OF

[00:35:01]

UM, I'M NOT, YEAH, I'M NOT SURE I HAVEN'T SEEN MUCH BECAUSE, UM, I MEAN, EVEN THEY'RE USING DISNEYLAND AS A DISTRIBUTION POINT, WHICH IS SMART BECAUSE THEY HAVE THOUSANDS OF EMPLOYEES WHO ARE ALREADY TRAINED IN CROWD CONTROL AND, UM, TRAFFIC CONTROL AND ALL THOSE THINGS.

SO I'M HOPING THAT IT'S VERY EFFICIENT AND WE CAN START GETTING THE VACCINE OUT.

UM, AND THE MORE WE GET VACCINATED, I MEAN, REGARDLESS OF WHAT IDEOLOGIES WE HAVE AND WHETHER OR NOT WE'RE EACH ONE OF US ARE GONNA GET IT, UM, WE WON'T BE ABLE TO OPEN UP REALLY ANYTHING UNTIL THEY'RE, UM, THERE'S A PRETTY SIGNIFICANT NUMBER OF PEOPLE, OUR PERCENTAGE OF PEOPLE THAT ARE GETTING VACCINATED.

AND, UM, SO YEAH, I HAVEN'T, BUT WE HAVEN'T HEARD ANYTHING.

THERE'S NOTHING NEW FOR LOCAL MONEY.

I HOPE FOR THERE WILL BE MURRAY FOR BUSINESSES, BUT, UM, THERE'S MORE MONEY COMING DOWN AND THINGS LIKE THAT, BUT, UM, IT'S ALL GOING TO BE FUNDED THROUGH THE STATE AT THIS POINT.

AND I HAVEN'T EVEN SEEN AN ALLOCATION TO THE COUNTY, WHICH, YOU KNOW, THE STATE JUST BECOMES BIGGER AND BIGGER BUREAUCRACY THEN WITH MORE EMPLOYEES AND, UM, WHERE WE ARE MORE CONTROL AND MORE IN CONTACT WITH OUR BUSINESSES AND OUR RESIDENTS THAT ARE, UM, UH, PEOPLE OF NEED, YOU KNOW, SO I HOPE, I HOPE THEY, THEY RECOGNIZE THAT SHORTLY AND, UM, ALLOCATE SOME MONEY TO THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT.

WE'LL SEE.

I'LL KEEP YOU POSTED THOUGH.

THE GRANT PROCESS CLOSES AT MIDNIGHT TONIGHT FOR THE LOCAL BUSINESSES.

YES.

AND THE SECOND DRAW ON THE PPP AND ALSO FIRST IS REOPENED.

SO THERE'S, UM, YEAH, THERE'S MANY OUT THERE IT'S JUST A MATTER OF PEOPLE, YOU KNOW, APPLYING AND TAKING ADVANTAGE OF IT.

YEAH.

AND WE'RE, YOU KNOW, WE'RE HOPING AND TRYING, BECAUSE WE'RE, WE'RE TRYING TO GET, UM, FUNDING FOR THE MUSEUM BECAUSE THE MUSEUM IS HURTING TOO WITH, WE HAVE NO INCOME AT ALL AND, YOU KNOW, WE STILL, UM, YOU KNOW, WANT TO OPERATE AND WANT TO STAY RELEVANT.

SO, UM, WE'RE HOPING THAT THE, YES, THERE'S A PROGRAM.

LET ME SEE IF I HAVE THE NAME OF IT.

IT'S CALLED A SHUTTERED VENUE.

OPERATION GRANT.

YEP.

YEP.

YOU'VE ALREADY APPLIED.

OKAY.

SO THE OTHER FRIENDS ARE GOOD FOR US.

I THINK SO.

I THINK SO.

SO WE'RE, UH, WE'RE, WE'RE LOOKING FORWARD TO THAT.

UM, YEAH, BECAUSE I DON'T THINK THEY'RE GOING TO LET US OPEN.

WE'LL SEE, UH, THE GOVERNOR DID, I THINK RELEASED SACRAMENTO COUNTY, UM, FROM THE LOCKDOWN, UH, TUESDAY.

SO, UM, MAYBE THERE'S A CHANCE WE'LL EVENTUALLY GET A RELEASE, AT LEAST FOR THE LOCKDOWN WE WON'T BE RELEASED.

TOTALLY.

BUT AS OF RIGHT NOW, YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO ONLY BE OUT OF YOUR HOUSE FOR ESSENTIAL BUSINESS.

SO, UM RIGHT.

YOU KNOW, HOPEFULLY SOON.

YEAH.

ALL RIGHT.

LET'S GET SEPARATED FROM, UM, LA COUNTY WHO'S EVEN WORSE OFF THAN WE ARE.

YES.

YES.

THAT'D BE NICE.

IT WOULD, COMMISSIONER IS, DO WE HAVE ANY COMMENTS? UNFORTUNATELY, KATHY, UH, FELIX CAN NOT UNMUTE HERSELF AND MEET HER.

SO I, I'M NOT SURE WHAT'S GOING ON, BUT SHE'S BEEN IN ON THE MEETING, BUT UNFORTUNATELY SHE DOESN'T HAVE A VOICE TONIGHT.

HEY, THIS IS GABBY.

I HAD A QUESTION.

OKAY.

UM, I W ARE WE GOING TO LOOK AT, UM, THE, THE SUBCOMMITTEES AGAIN AND WHO'S ON WHICH COMMITTEES? I REMEMBER WE STARTED TALKING ABOUT IT A FEW MONTHS AGO AND DIDN'T GET BACK TO IT.

YES.

WE WILL BE REORGANIZING A BIT.

UM, UH, OBVIOUSLY AS YOU KNOW, UM, ONE OF OUR COMMISSIONERS, ANDREA, ANDREA TRUJILLO, YOU KNOW, RECENTLY PASSED AWAY AND THEY WILL BE, UH, UM, RECRUITING FOR HER POSITION.

UM, I BELIEVE HER TERM WAS UP IN MARCH.

UM, AND SO WE WOULD LIKE TO WAIT UNTIL WE GET THAT POSITION FILLED.

UM, BEFORE WE, UM, REVISIT THE, THE, UH, VARIOUS SUB COMMITTEES.

NOW, ARE WE GOING TO VISIT THE CBDG PRIOR TO MARCH? YES.

W THE S THE CDBG SUBCOMMITTEE WILL BE MEETING LATER THIS MONTH IN JANUARY OR VERY EARLY FEBRUARY, UH, BEFORE THE NEXT FEBRUARY COMMISSION MEETING.

OKAY.

I WAS INTERESTED IN THE CBBC SUB COMMITTEE.

THAT'S WHY I'M ASKING, ARE WE ABLE TO JUST SIT IN AS LISTENERS? YOU KNOW, WE, WE CAN'T, UH, JUST BECAUSE OF, UM, UM, YOU KNOW, BROWN ACT, THE NUMBER OF, UH, YOU KNOW, THE MAJORITY OF COMMISSIONERS, BUT I'D BE HAPPY TO SIT WITH YOU ONE-ON-ONE AND ANSWER WHATEVER QUESTIONS, OR WE COULD TALK IT OVER OR EXPLAIN, OR ANYBODY ONE-ON-ONE, UM, AND BRING YOUR QUESTIONS TO THE, OR YOU COULD GIVE, UH, YOUR QUESTIONS DIRECTLY TO WHOEVER THE MEMBERS ARE.

UM, AND I MEAN, IF THAT HELPS AT ALL, UH, WE COULD DEFINITELY DO THAT.

AND, UM, UM, AND THEN GO FROM THERE, AND THEN WE COULD SEEK PERMISSION MAYBE FOR

[00:40:01]

OKAY.

WELL, WE HAVE TO DO IT BY ZOOM.

OKAY.

KIM, WHAT DO WE HAVE? UM, TWO, TWO OR THREE.

WE HAVE THREE, THREE PLUS ME AND KIM.

WE COULD PROBABLY MEET IN, UM, THE EL CAMINO ROOM, OR, UM, MAYBE ONE THIRD OF THE BALLROOM WITH FIVE OF US CAN SPACE OUT.

YEP.

I THINK SO.

WE JUST, AND THEN WE'LL FIND OUT IF ANYBODY ELSE CAN ATTEND, UM, AS, UH, A VISITOR.

SURE.

WE'LL TRY.

WHAT IS THE TRADITIONAL REORGANIZATION WHERE WE, WE READ LOOK AT THOSE, IS THAT MARCH OR APRIL, OR WHEN DID WE NORMALLY DO THAT QUESTION? IT SLIDES A LITTLE BIT JUST DEPENDING ON WHAT'S GOING ON, BUT, UM, IT'S GENERALLY AN ANNUAL, UM, AN ANNUAL REPORT IF ANYONE WANTS TO MOVE, UH, COMMITTEES AROUND.

OKAY.

IT'S USUALLY, IT'S USUALLY, I THINK HAPPENED IN MARCH.

IT FEELS LIKE, AND I THOUGHT IT WAS AFTER THE NEW COMMISSIONERS COME IN.

RIGHT.

OH, MAYBE THAT'S IT IN MARCH THEN.

YEAH, SO WE HAVE, BUT WE HAVE A LOT OF OTHER PROJECTS.

UM, THAT'LL BE IMPORTANT, UH, COMMITTEES ALSO, UM, OR AT LEAST IF NOTHING ELSE, UH, IMPORTANT, UM, DECISIONS TO BE MADE, THAT WAS THE RFP WITH, UM, THE THEATER, AS WELL AS THE TENNIS COURT, THE TENNIS CENTER AND THOSE PROJECTS.

SO WE LOOK FORWARD TO HAVING A LOT OF WORK FOR ALL THE COMMISSIONERS SOON.

AND TIM, DID YOU WANT TO COORDINATE THAT, THAT MEET THE SUBCOMMITTEE MEETING? YES.

I'LL SEND OUT A SEPARATE EMAIL, UM, TO THE COMMITTEE MEMBERS TOMORROW AND WE CAN LOOK AT DATES.

OKAY, PERFECT.

THANK YOU.

AND THEN, UM, FOR THE RECRUITING OF THE NEW POSITION, UM, NOW I KNOW THAT I'M COMING UP FOR TIME LIMIT, AND I THINK IT WAS ANDREA MYSELF, AND I'M NOT SURE IF IT WAS MARIA TERESA TERESA.

SO IT WAS ME, IT WAS ME, CARRIE, I'M COMING UP TO, I THINK THIS ISN'T WORKING OUT TO YOU.

UM, THERE'S STILL TIME TO DECIDE WITH ALL, TO BE DOING A ZOOM, UM, INTERVIEW OR RECRUITMENT, I GUESS, AND INTERVIEWING, OR, OR, UM, POTENTIALLY MEETING IN PERSON.

THEY DID SAY THAT THEY WOULD LET US KNOW AND THEN THEY WOULD BE REACHING OUT, UM, TO SEE, UM, IF YOU WERE INTERESTED IN, UM, STAYING ON THE COMMISSION AND, AND THEN RECRUITING FOR, UM, ANDREW'S POSITION.

OKAY.

SO IT COULD BE THAT WE CAN JUST KEEP THEM NICE TRY.

RIGHT.

YEAH.

NICE.

OKAY.

SO I JUST WANT TO JUST, UH, UPDATE A LITTLE BIT ON ANDREA.

SO, UM, I WENT OVER AND SPOKE WITH HER FATHER AND I TOOK A CARD FROM ALL OF US, UM, THE COMMUNITY SERVICES COMMISSION.

UM, SO I SIGNED EVERYBODY'S NAME.

I HOPE YOU, EVERYBODY WAS OKAY WITH THAT.

AND, UM, YOU'RE WELCOME.

SO SHE IS BEING CREMATED.

UM, HER FAMILY WAS COMING OUT FROM IDAHO AND COLORADO, UM, THIS LAST WEEKEND.

AND SO THEY WERE, UM, YOU KNOW, GOING THROUGH HER PROPERTY AND TRYING TO, UM, YOU KNOW, CLEAN UP HER HOUSE AND DO WHATEVER THEY NEED TO DO AND THERE'S FURNITURE AND THINGS THAT THEY WERE GOING TO BE DIVIDING UP.

HE HASN'T MADE ANY, UM, DECISIONS ON WHAT TYPE OF SERVICE, UM, YOU KNOW, MEMORIAL SERVICE OR, UH, UM, CELEBRATION OF LIFE.

BUT AS THAT COMES UP, HE, THEY WILL LET ME KNOW AND I'LL PASS THAT ON TO EVERYONE.

OKAY.

AND THEY DID SAY THAT THE CAUSE OF DEATH WAS FROM HER BREAST CANCER.

UM, THAT, THAT WAS ONE OF HER FIRST CANCERS THAT SHE HAD.

AND, UM, OF COURSE AFTER ALL THESE YEARS, UM, IT DID GO, UM, YOU KNOW, THROUGHOUT HER BODY.

AND THAT'S, THAT'S WHAT JUST TO OCCUR FOR, UM, THE LAST ROUND.
