SO, SO THE COMMUNITY SERVICES CALENDAR, UM, IF YOU LOOK IN YOUR LITTLE PACKET, UM, THERE'S OBVIOUSLY A WHOLE LIST OF DATES.
I WANTED TO POINT OUT A COUPLE NEW ONES AS WELL AS TALK ABOUT A COUPLE UPCOMING SPECIAL EVENTS THAT WE HAVE, UM, TAKING PLACE.
WHAT WE DID ADD, WHICH IS A, UM, A PROGRAM THAT DENISE WAS A PART OF AS A BEAUTIFICATION COMMITTEE MEMBER, IS OUR FOLLOWING, UH, DECORATING CONTEST.
AND THIS IS A REALLY A FUN, UH, FREE COMMUNITY EVENT AS YOU KNOW, NOT ONLY, UM, IT'S CHRISTMAS, UH, FOR DECORATING HALLOWEEN, PEOPLE ARE GOING ALL OUT AS EARLY AS SEPTEMBER.
WE OBVIOUS SAW SOME HOUSES DECORATED AND THEN WE WANTED TO ALSO RECOGNIZE FALL ON THANKSGIVING FOR THOSE THAT MAY NOT CELEBRATE HALLOWEEN.
IF YOU HAVE ANY HOUSES IN YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD OR IF YOU'RE DRIVING THROUGH, SEND ME A PICTURE ON THE ADDRESS AND WE'LL ADD IT TO OUR NOMINATION LIST.
AND THEN THE BEAUTIFICATION COMMITTEE AND I WILL BE MEETING ON THE 27TH OF THIS MONTH TO SELECT A COUPLE WINNERS THROUGHOUT THE CITY, AND THEY'LL BE AWARDED WITH A SPECIAL YARD SIGN AND A CERTIFICATE FROM THE MAYOR AND THE CITY COUNCIL.
UM, SO I JUST WANNA MAKE SURE THAT IT'S OPEN TO EVERYONE, NOT JUST THE BEAUTIFICATION COMMITTEE MEMBERS.
AND SO ANY, UM, NOMINATIONS YOU WANNA PROVIDE WOULD BE HELPFUL.
HOW, HOW DO, UM, HOW DOES THE GENERAL PUBLIC NOMINATE FOLKS? UM, SO THERE'S AN EMAIL ON THE FLYER.
UM, THE BEAUTIFICATION COMMITTEE MEMBERS, IT'S IN THE, HAVE PROMOTED IT, IT'S IN, UM, SOME OF OUR PUBLICATIONS, BUT THERE'S AN EMAIL ADDRESS, UM, TO SEND THE PICTURES TO, UH, WITH AN ADDRESS OR THEY CAN JUST SEND US THE ADDRESS.
IT'S A LITTLE BIT EASIER, OTHERWISE WE DO A LOT OF DRIVING AROUND LAST MINUTE.
UM, WHAT'S UM, HELPFUL IS WHEN PEOPLE CAN TAKE IT AND THEY SEE, UM, THEY CAN TAKE, DO IT WITHOUT CARS AND TRASH CANS IN THE WAY, CUZ WE DO PUT A PICTURE OF THE, UM, PROPERTY ON THEIR CERTIFICATE AS WELL.
AND I, I CAN SEND YOU A FLYER IF I DIDN'T KNOW ALREADY.
SEND YOU A FLYER AND THAT WAY YOU CAN REPOST IT.
[00:05:01]
DID YOU GET A FLYER? UM, NOT THROUGH EMAIL.LET MAKE SURE WE SEND YOU A, A FLYER THAT WE CAN, UM, THAT YOU GUYS CAN POST IF YOU WANT.
THIS HAS LIKE EVERYTHING ON YEAH, IT DOES.
THIS IS OUR, UM, COMMUNITY OPEN HOUSE FLYER.
SO, UM, NOW THAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT THE COMMUNITY OPEN HOUSE, THAT'S ACTUALLY COMING UP NEXT SATURDAY, OCTOBER 22ND.
UM, THIS IS NEW AND THAT WE ARE EXPANDING IT TO THE ENTIRE CITY OF LA HABRA, UM, OPERATIONS.
IT'S NORMALLY THE POLICE TO OPEN HOUSE AND EVERY YEAR IT'S GROWN A LITTLE BIT.
OF COURSE, COMMUNITY SERVICES.
OUR DEPARTMENT HAS ALWAYS, UM, PROVIDED THAT SUPPORT AND HELPING WITH THE LOGISTICS OF THAT EVENT.
AND SO I THINK IT WAS THE CITY MANAGER'S IDEA TO EXPAND IT TO ALL THE CITY DEPARTMENTS AND OPERATIONS AND REALLY LET ALL THE RESIDENTS KNOW ABOUT ALL THE WONDERFUL PROGRAMS AND SERVICES THAT ARE AVAILABLE TO NOT ONLY SUPPORT THEM, BUT TO, YOU KNOW, BE AVAILABLE, UM, AND ACCESSIBLE TO THEIR FAMILIES.
SO WE'RE LOOKING FORWARD TO A FUN, UH, DAY.
UM, WE HAVE A LOT OF DIFFERENT CITY, UM, PROGRAMS THAT WILL BE OUT THERE.
UM, AGAIN, A LOT OF OUR CITY DEPARTMENTS WILL BE OUT THERE, COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT, PUBLIC WORKS, FINANCE, THE POLICE DEPARTMENT, OUR DEPARTMENT, EVEN HUMAN RESOURCES WILL BE OUT THERE AND THEY'LL HAVE A COMPUTER AVAILABLE TO APPLY FOR CITY JOBS ONLINE RIGHT THEN AND THERE, THERE'S A PORTAL.
AND SO WE REALLY WANNA, UM, LET THE COMMUNITY KNOW WE'RE HERE FOR YOU AND, UM, WHO NEED CHILDCARE.
OUR CHILD DEVELOPMENT, YOU KNOW, PROGRAM WILL BE OUT THERE WITH A BOOTH.
OUR CHILDREN'S MUSEUM WILL BE OUT THERE.
I HOPE THE COMMISSION, UH, CAN MAKE SOME TIME TO BE OUT THERE AND, UM, CERTAINLY SHARE IT WITH YOUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS AND NEIGHBORS.
AND WHILE WE'RE LOOKING AT THIS FLYER THAT HAS ALL THESE OTHER EVENTS, AS YOU CAN SEE, WE'RE STILL BUSY.
YOU KNOW, OUR SUMMER PROGRAMMING IS OVER, BUT WE STILL HAVE PROGRAMMING, EXCUSE ME, ALL YEAR ROUND.
UM, THE OTHER EVENT THAT WE WOULD LIKE TO REALLY PROMOTE, UM, IN ADDITION TO ALL OF THESE IS OUR LAHABRA VETERANS DAY EVENT THAT'S COMING UP ON FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 11TH.
UM, I BELIEVE THERE'S A PANCAKE BREAKFAST HOSTED BY THE LIONS MM-HMM.
AND, AND THERE'S BEEN INVOLVED TOO.
UM, THE ACTUAL PROGRAM IS OUT IS AT 11:11 AM IN THE MORNING.
UM, THE BREAKFAST STARTS AT 9:00 AM AT 9:00 AM GOES TO 10 AND GOES TO UH, 10.
AND THEY HAD THE SWING DOLLS LAST YEAR.
THEY'RE THEY GOOD BACK BY POPULAR DEMAND.
UM, KIM, CAN I, UM, ECHO SOMETHING IS THEY'RE GONNA HAVE, UM, ON NOVEMBER 6TH AT FOR THE WOMEN VETERANS, THE LADIES CLUB, THE WOMEN'S CLUB.
UM, CARRIE KNOWS MORE INFORMATION ABOUT IT.
UM, IS THAT A SUNDAY? THAT'S A SUNDAY, RIGHT? THAT IS A SUNDAY AND IT'S GOING TO BE AT 11 O'CLOCK.
I CAN GET SOME MORE INFORMATION FROM NATALIE AND SEND THAT OUT.
WE'RE GONNA DO A TABLE, SO OH, NICE.
AND THEN OF COURSE, THE SAME WEEKEND AS VETERAN'S DAY IS THE ANNUAL CORN, UH, FESTIVAL AS WELL AS THE, UH, PARADE.
AND SO, UM, THAT FESTIVAL STARTS FRIDAY NIGHT AT FIVE O'CLOCK AND RUNS THROUGH SUNDAY EVENING.
OF COURSE, THE COMMISSION IS INVITED TO BE IN THE PARADE ON SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 12TH.
AND I BELIEVE, UM, WHO WAS ORGANIZING THAT? WAS IT YOU OR THERESA, YOU OR MARIE? UM, FOR THE RIDE.
UM, WE GOT IN ONE OF OUR VETERANS MEETINGS, UM, RANDY WAS THERE AND HE SAID THAT THEY ORGANIZED THE CARS.
AND THAT'S A GOOD QUESTION CAUSE I HAD THAT ON MY NOTES TONIGHT IS ARE THERE ANY COMMISSIONERS THAT ARE WANTING TO, UH, RIDE IN A CAR ON THE PARADE? YEAH.
JUST, JUST TEXT ME AND JUST OKAY.
WHEN YOU GET A CHANCE IN, LET ME KNOW AND THEN WE'LL GO FROM THERE.
AT, IS MARIE WRITING OR IS SHE DOING A CHAMBER? NO, SHE'S DOING THE CHAMBER.
SHE'S, AND THAT HAPPENS A LOT.
SHE'S, SHE'S ALWAYS DONE THE CHAMBER SINCE I'VE BEEN ON BOARD.
AND SO RANDY'S GONNA LOOK INTO THAT.
I JUST HAVE, HE JUST WANTS TO KNOW, HE WANTS TO CONFIRM THE AMOUNT OF PEOPLE FOR THE CAR.
DOES THAT HAPPEN ON SATURDAY? THE PARADE? YES.
SATURDAY, UH, NOVEMBER 12TH AT NINE O'CLOCK.
THERE IS A SPECIAL BREAKFAST AHEAD OF TIME AND INVITATION SHOULD BE GOING OUT SOON.
UM, WE PROVIDE A LOT OF SUPPORT, BUT THAT COMES OUTTA THE CITY MANAGER'S OFFICE.
BUT BASICALLY THERE'S A SPECIAL BREAKFAST FOR ALL THE GUESTS, UM, OR ELECTED OFFICIALS.
AND THEN, UM, SOME OF THE, UM, UH, I DON'T WANNA USE VIP, BUT YOU KNOW, THE GROUND MARSHALL AND SOME OF OUR, UM, COMMUNITY MEMBERS, UH, ARE INVITED TO A SPECIAL BREAKFAST THAT MORNING.
AND IT'S ONLY FOR THE PEOPLE THAT ARE IN THE, IN THE RIDES OR IN THE CARS.
UM, THOSE INVITATIONS SHOULD BE GOING OUT, UM, I WOULD THINK IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF WEEKS.
BUT USUALLY THAT BREAKFAST STARTS AT SEVEN 30 AND WE NEED TO START SHUTTLING EVERYONE ABOUT 8 15, 8 30 AT THE LATEST.
I KNOW EVERYONE WANTS TO GO ON THE LAST SHUTTLE.
[00:10:01]
ONE WANTS TO BE FIRST, BUT, UM, WHAT'S HAPPENING IS WE, WE'VE STARTED TO PRAY LATE BECAUSE WE CAN'T GET EVERYONE LINED UP IN TIME.SO WE'RE GONNA BE WORKING ON THAT EFFORT, UM, A LITTLE BIT MORE.
AND, UM, MOVING THE BREAKFAST ALONG, IT'S REALLY LIKE CONTINENTAL BREAKFAST, BUT IT'S FUN TO TAKE PICTURES AND TO SEE EVERYONE.
IT IS, I'M SORRY, UM, KIM, IS THAT AT SEVEN, DID YOU SAY? 7:00 AM STARTS AT SEVEN 30.
YEAH, AGAIN, AN INVITATION SHOULD BE GOING OUT SHORTLY AND THAT'S GONNA BE HERE AT CITY HALL IN THE ATRIUM.
AND THEN WE WILL HAVE SHUTTLE SERVICE, UM, PROVIDED TO THE STARTING POINT AT THE PARADE.
AND IT WILL BE DROPPING YOU OFF RIGHT OFF A CYPRUS? RIGHT.
UM, NEAR THE, UH, EL CENTRAL ALLIANCE PARK.
WE'RE TRYING TO FIGURE OUT IF THE SHUTTLE CAN PICK UP AT THE PARK.
IT'S JUST GONNA BE A LITTLE BIT TIGHT WITH ALL THE, THE REST OF THE PARADE COMING THROUGH.
SO WE'RE TRYING TO WORK OUT THOSE DETAILS.
I'VE BEEN MEETING WITH RANDY AND WITH DOUG ON THAT END TO SEE WHAT WE CAN DO.
THE PARKING HERE WILL BE AVAILABLE UNTIL NOON ON THAT DAY, ABOUT 1230.
WE DO HAVE A FACILITY RENTAL IN THIS SPACE.
AND SO THE UNFORTUNATE PART IS WHEN THE LINES MOVE THEIR DATE A COUPLE TIMES ON THE FINAL DATE THAT THEY WANTED ARE BOTH FACILITIES, THE COMMUNITY CENTER AND THE, UH, ATRIUM ARE RENTED OUT SATURDAY NIGHT AT 12TH.
AND SO WE DO HAVE TO BLOCK OUT PARK AND STARTING ABOUT SMALL 1230 TO MAKE SURE THAT THE RENTALS HAVE THE ADEQUATE PARKING THAT THEY WERE, UM, THAT THEY HAVE PAID FOR AND THAT THEY HAVE, UM, YOU KNOW, RESERVED SO TO SPEAK.
UM, HE SAID PEOPLE GET CREATED WITH PARKING, BUT, YOU KNOW, AND IT'S UNFORTUNATE THAT WE HAVE TWO PARKING LOTS NOT AVAILABLE FOR SATURDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING, BUT THAT'LL BE AVAILABLE FRIDAY AND ON SUNDAY.
SO THAT GOES, WE'RE GONNA BE LETTING EVERYONE KNOW THAT, THAT ALL THE, UM, OTHER PEOPLE THAT ATTENDED BREAKFAST IN THE MORNING, A LOT OF TIMES PEOPLE TEND TO GO TO THE PARK AFTER THE PARADE, BUT THEY'RE GONNA STILL NEED TO MOVE THEIR CARS.
UM, SO WE'LL TRY TO, I JUST GET DROPPED OFF.
THEY JUST GET DROPPED OFF IN THE MORNING TO, HONESTLY, UBERING ARE GETTING DROPPED OFF IS PROBABLY, PROBABLY EASIER.
BUT THEY'RE CERTAINLY PARKING DOWN AT THE CHILDREN'S MUSEUM AND THAT'S ONE OF THE PICKUPS AS WELL, UM, FOR THE PARADE.
CAN I, WHY YOU MENTIONED THE MUSEUM, AND I DON'T WANNA FORGET THIS.
I WENT TO A, A NEIGHBOR'S BIRTHDAY, THEIR LITTLE BOY'S BIRTHDAY PARTY AND ALL SHE ASKED, THE MOTHER ASKED FOR MONEY CUZ THEY HAVE ENOUGH TOYS, RIGHT.
UM, FOR A MEMBERSHIP FOR THE CHILDREN'S MUSEUM.
AND THEY GOT MONEY AND SO IT, THEY WERE SO JAZZED.
IT WAS, YEAH, IT'S A GREAT GIFT.
WHAT A GREAT GIFT IT WAS FOR THE WHOLE ANOTHER TIME.
EVERYBODY GAVE HIM MONEY FOR THAT.
AND THEN COMING UP ON NOVEMBER 17TH, WE HAVE OUR, UM, EMPLOYEE THANKSGIVING LUNCHEON.
AND THAT IS A LUNCH THAT'S, UM, FOR ALL OF OUR CITY EMPLOYEES.
AND TECHNICALLY YOU'RE ON PAYROLL, SO YOU'RE CONSIDERED A CITY EMPLOYEE
UM, BUT THAT'S A LUNCH WHERE WE, UH, FUNDRAISE FOR THE HOLIDAY WISHES PROGRAM.
SO, UM, YOU EITHER, AND IT'S OPTIONAL, BUT YOU ARE ENCOURAGED OR INVITED TO, YOU HAVE A $10 DONATION OR A GIFT CARD AND WE OBVIOUSLY PUT THAT TOWARDS THE HOLIDAY WISHES PROGRAM IN DECEMBER.
SO, UH, THE FLYERS SHOULD BE GOING OUT NEXT WEEK.
WE JUST HAD TO FIND, MAKE SURE WE HAD A LOCATION.
WE DO HAVE SOME BUSY PROGRAMING COMING UP.
AND SO, UM, WANTED TO MAKE SURE YOU GET THAT ON YOUR CALENDAR.
AND ONE MORE THING I'M MISSING A COUPLE THINGS, UM, IS THE SENIOR, UM, HEALTH FAIR WEEK, THE WEEKEND NOVEMBER 14TH.
AND SO THAT'LL TAKE PLACE AT THE LAHA COMMUNITY CENTER AS WELL.
AND THERE'S A SEPARATE FLYER AND I'LL MAKE SURE YOU GUYS GET THAT FLYER AS WELL.
IF ANYONE CAN STOP BY ANY TIME DURING THE WEEK, IT WOULD BE GREAT.
WE'RE REALLY TRYING TO INCREASE OUR PROGRAMMING ON THE SENIOR SIDE END.
UM, AND WE HAVE FUNDING FROM THE LAHARA HOST LIONS.
WE'RE WORKING CLOSELY WITH ST.
JUDE FRIENDS OF FAMILY AND SOME OTHER NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS TO MAKE THIS HAPPEN.
I'M SORRY, KIM, I MISSED THE TIMING ON THE EMPLOYEE THANKSGIVING LUNCHEON.
AT THE LITTLE HOPPER COMMUNITY CENTER.
AS FAR AS SPECIAL EVENTS, OF COURSE THERE'S MORE THAT WE'LL TALK ABOUT IN NOVEMBER, UM, I DID PASS OUT SOME OF THE PHANTOM PROJECTS, UH, CARDS.
I ACTUALLY DID GO TO THE SHOW ON FRIDAY NIGHT.
AND UM, ALTHOUGH IT WAS A GREAT SHOW, A LITTLE BIT HEAVY, YOU KNOW, IT WAS VERY SAD BECAUSE IT WAS JUST SUCH A LIGHT CROWD.
I THINK THERE WERE SIX PEOPLE IN THE THEATER.
AND HE'S LITERALLY GIVING AWAY TICKETS.
HE JUST WANTS THE THEATER TO HAVE PEOPLE, WHETHER THEY'RE IT'S MOMENTUM FREE TICKETS OR NOT.
UM, SO I WOULD JUST ENCOURAGE IF YOU OR OR FAMILY MEMBERS OR FRIENDS THAT YOU KNOW, WOULD BE INTERESTED.
I MEAN, HE WILL LITERALLY, IF YOU SHOW UP AND SAY YOU CAN'T PAY OR YOU CAN ONLY PAY FOR ONE TICKET, BUT YOU HAVE TWO PEOPLE, HE WILL LET YOU IN.
UM, AND THE SHOW IS ACTUALLY REALLY GOOD.
AND AGAIN, UM, YOU KNOW, WE'RE WORKING WITH HIM BECAUSE SOME OF THE LANGUAGE WOULD NOT BE APPROPRIATE FOR KIDS.
AND HE RECOGNIZES THAT, THAT, YOU KNOW, HE HAS
[00:15:01]
SOME SHOWS FOR ADULTS AND THEN SOME, SOME SHOWS FOR, UH, THE SMALLER KIDS.BUT, YOU KNOW, IF YOU WANTED TO DO A FAMILY OUTING, THIS WOULD NOT BE THE RIGHT SHOW.
AND THEY HAD A, AN ACTOR THAT HAD DOWN SYNDROME AND SHE DID A PHENOMENAL JOB OH.
UM, AND SO SHE REALLY KNEW HER LINES AND UM, YOU KNOW, SHE DID A GREAT JOB.
SO I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU IF HE CAN, TO STOP BY AND SEE ONE OF THESE PLAYS.
THE 26 PLES IS GONNA BE A LITTLE BIT, AGAIN, A HEAVIER SUBJECT.
IT'S THE SANDY HOOK, BUT IT'S MORE ABOUT HOW THEY DEALT WITH AN ACTOR AND HOW THE COMMUNITY CAME TOGETHER AND LESSONS LEARNED.
SO HOPEFULLY THAT MESSAGE GETS OUT IN THE, UM, THE MARKETING.
CUZ I THINK, YOU KNOW, PEOPLE THINK IT'S GONNA BE A REALLY DARK, HEAVY AND I THINK IT WILL HAVE SOME HEAVINESS TO IT.
BUT AGAIN, IT'S MORE OF THE GOOD IF YOU CAN SAY THAT THAT CAME OUT OF IT.
SO I TOLD STEVE I DO A PLUG THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR AND, AND TRY TO ENCOURAGE, UH, ANYONE TO, TO SHOW UP IF THEY CAN.
SO THAT'S ALL I HAVE ON THE SPECIAL EVENTS END.
I, UM, AM VERY SORRY, I SEE THAT WE DON'T HAVE THE POWERPOINT PRESENTATION PRINTED OUT FOR THE READY SET OC PROGRAM.
UM, DID ANYONE BRING A COPY BY CHANCE? DID ANYBODY BRING WHAT? A COPY THE POWERPOINT.
SO I DO WANNA JUST TALK BRIEFLY ABOUT THE PROGRAM.
UM, I KNOW WE ARE REALLY TRYING TO, UH, INCREASE OUR ENROLLMENT.
SO THE READY SET RC PROGRAM, AS YOU KNOW, IS A COUNTY CONTRACT WITH THE COUNTY OF ORANGE.
THE CITY OF LAJA WAS AWARDED THIS CONTRACT, UM, TWO YEARS AGO.
WE'RE IN OUR THIRD AND FINAL YEAR.
NOT HAVE, UM, ESPECIALLY IF WE WERE ABLE TO JUST FOCUS IN LAHABRA, BUT WE ARE ACTUALLY SERVING ALL OF ORANGE COUNTY.
AND WE HAVE TO SERVE WHERE, UM, OUR CONTRACT SAYS WE NEED TO SERVE 600 YOUTH THAT HAVE BARRIERS.
AND THOSE BARRIERS ARE EXPERIENCING HOMELESSNESS.
UM, THEY WOULD HAVE AN I E P, WHICH MEANS THEY MOST LIKELY HAVE A LEARNING DISABILITY, PREGNANT OR PARENTING.
OBVIOUSLY LOW INCOME IS A BARRIER JUSTICE INVOLVED.
SO, UM, THOSE ARE REALLY THE CORE, UH, BARRIERS.
SO IT, IT'S A LITTLE BIT DIFFICULT BECAUSE A LOT OF PEOPLE HEAR ABOUT THE PROGRAM AND THEY SAY, OH, I HAVE A SON OR DAUGHTER OR GRANDCHILD.
AND THEN THEY HEAR THEY HAVE THE BARRIERS THEY HAVE TO MEET.
AND SO WE DO RECOGNIZE THAT IT'S A LITTLE BIT HARD.
THE MESSAGING HAS TO BE CORRECT TO MAKE SURE WE'RE RE REACHING THE RIGHT POPULATIONS, BUT WE ARE SERVING ALL OF ORANGE COUNTY.
AND SO EVEN THOUGH OUR ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICES ARE UP HERE IN LA HORA ON WOODIER BOULEVARD RIGHT NEXT TO, I THINK IT'S BANK OF POPULAR OR RIGHT AT CYPRUS AND, UH, WOODIER BOULEVARD, IF YOU DRIVE ON WOODIER BOULEVARD AND YOU'LL SEE LETTERING THAT SAYS READY SET C AND THEIR OFFICE SUITES.
BUT WHAT WE REALLY NEED HELP WITH FROM THE COMMISSION AND EVERYONE IS WE NEED THEM TO EITHER HELP PROMOTE THE PROGRAM, WE NEED THEM TO, UH, GIVE US LEADS.
IF YOU HAVE ANY LEADS WITH NONPROFIT GROUPS THAT SERVE AGES 14 TO 24 CHURCHES, UH, SCHOOL CONNECTIONS, ANYONE, ANY PLACE YOU THINK MIGHT HAVE YOUTH THAT WOULD BE AVAILABLE OR IF YOU KNOW A BUSINESS THAT MIGHT BE WILLING TO TAKE ONE OF OUR YOUTH AND, UM, BE A PART OF OUR INTERNSHIP PROGRAM.
IT'S A 12 WEEK PROGRAM THAT GRANT PAYS MINIMUM WAGE, $15 AN HOUR FOR, I THINK IT'S UP TO 300 HOURS.
AND SO AGAIN, WE'RE LOOKING FOR LOCAL BUSINESSES AND WE'RE TRYING TO WORK FOR THE CHAMBER THAT WOULD GIVE, YOU KNOW, THESE PARTICIPANTS AN OPPORTUNITY TO AT LEAST GET SOME WORK EXPERIENCE SO THAT THEY CAN'T GO OUT AND GET A REGULAR UNSUBSIDIZED PAYING JOB.
AND IT'S KIND OF INTERESTING, YOU KNOW, I KIND OF THOUGHT MCDONALD'S AND SOME OF THESE PLACES WOULD TAKE ANYONE AND THEY REALLY, YOU KNOW, THEY'RE, THEY'RE NOT HIRING SOME OF OUR PARTICIPANTS CUZ THEY'RE NOT READY.
AND SO NOW WE KNOW MORE THAN EVER THEY NEED TO HAVE THE WORK EXPERIENCE TO LEARN, YOU KNOW, SOME BASIC SKILLS THAT WE MIGHT TAKE FOR GRANTED.
AND THAT'S, YOU KNOW, SHOWING UP ON TIME, HAVING A CLEAN APPEARANCE, UM, SPEAKING APPROPRIATELY TO, YOU KNOW, OTHER STAFF MEMBERS, CUSTOMER SERVICE.
AND SO WE DO ALL THAT TRAINING WITH THEM AND HELP THEM BE PREPARED FOR THE INTERVIEW SKILL, THE INTERVIEW PROCESS, HELP 'EM FILL OUT THEIR APPLICATIONS.
IF THEY NEED A RESUME, WE HELP BUY THEM CLOSE FOR THEIR FIRST INTERVIEW.
SO WE DO A LOT OF SUPPORTIVE SERVICES.
SO I THINK THAT'S PRETTY, UH, FANTASTIC.
AND THEN THE GOAL IS FOR THEM TO FIND A JOB WHERE THEY CAN, YOU KNOW, HOPEFULLY EVENTUALLY THROUGH EDUCATION AND ADDITIONAL TRAINING, UM, FIND A JOB LONG TERM THAT WILL HELP THEM BE SELF-SUFFICIENT.
WE KNOW THAT'S A LONG WAYS OFF.
MOST PARTICIPANTS IN THE PROGRAM DON'T REACH THAT MILESTONE, BUT A LOT OF 'EM ARE ON THE, ON THEIR WAY.
SO, UM, I CAN CERTAINLY EMAIL OUT THIS FLYER AGAIN AND YOU WANNA HELP SHARE IT ON FACEBOOK OR SOCIAL MEDIA AND, UM, ANY OTHER PEOPLE YOU CAN THINK OF.
UM, AGAIN, BECAUSE IT REACHES TO OLIVE ORANGE
[00:20:01]
COUNTY, SO I LIVE IN INTESTINE, I SENT IT TO A BUNCH OF FRIENDS AND FAMILY AND I SAID, PLEASE SHARE THIS FLYER, USE MY NAME.AND SO WE'RE GONNA BE STARTING TO SET UP MEETINGS WITH ALL THE SCHOOL DISTRICTS.
BUT AGAIN, JUST GETTING INTO THE DISTRICT IS PRETTY HARD.
AND SO AGAIN, WE JUST NEED, IF ANYONE HAS ANY LEADS OR CONTACTS OF, OF ORGANIZATIONS THAT THEY COULD CONNECT US WITH, WE'RE KIND OF DESPERATE TO, TO GET THE HELP IF YOU HAVE ANY, ANY UH, SOURCES OR AGAIN, CONNECTIONS, WHATNOT.
WE SPOKE TO THE CITY MANAGERS GROUP IN AUGUST.
EVERYONE SAID, YAY, WE WANT THIS PROGRAM IN OUR CITY.
AND WE SENT A VIDEO AND ALL THIS STUFF AND THEN IT WENT SILENT.
SO, OH, I THINK PEOPLE WANNA HELP.
I THINK, YOU KNOW, THEY'RE MAYBE NOT SURE HOW THE PROGRAM RUNS OR THEY THINK THEY HAVE TO RUN IT THEMSELVES.
NO, WE WILL DO ALL THE LEGWORK, WE'LL DO THE PLACEMENT WITH THE BUSINESSES OR NONPROFIT GROUPS THAT ARE AVAILABLE IN THAT REGION.
UM, BUT IT IS A LOT OF LOGISTICS AND SO WE JUST NEED A LITTLE HELP WITH SOME OF THESE CONNECTIONS.
IF ANYONE HAS ANY, ANY, LET US KNOW.
KIM, SO YOU SAID THAT WE HAVE TO SERVE 600 YOUTH.
BEFORE THIS JUNE, 2023 DATE, WHAT, WHAT, WHERE ARE WE RIGHT NOW? OUR FIRST QUARTER WE'RE AT A HUNDRED.
I WILL TELL YOU THAT WE'RE, UH, THAT'S A SIGNIFICANT IMPROVEMENT IN THIS PAST YEAR.
WE ONLY SERVED A LITTLE OVER 200 YOUTH AND THERE'S CERTAINLY, YOU KNOW, PARTIAL REASONS FOR THAT WITHOUT MAKING EXCUSES.
COVID WAS CERTAINLY A BIG ISSUE EVEN LAST YEAR.
UM, A LOT OF OUR PARTICIPANTS, YOU KNOW, UM, HAD OTHER THINGS TO FOCUS ON, YOU KNOW, COMING OUT OF THE PANDEMIC, A LOT OF 'EM LOST HOUSING, A LOT OF THEIR FAMILIES WERE DISPLACED.
UM, UM, YOU KNOW, LEARNING LOSS.
SO, YOU KNOW, WE'RE TRYING TO HELP 'EM FIND SCHOOLING AND ALL THAT.
AND SO IT WAS JUST SO THE WORK, THE THE JOB PART WASN'T AS IMPORTANT TO THEM.
IT WAS KIND OF THE IMMEDIATE ESSENTIALS.
THE, WHEN YOU SAY SERVING ORANGE COUNTY, DOES THAT MEAN THAT THE KIDS HAVE TO LIVE IN ORANGE COUNTY? MM-HMM.
AND SO WE'RE REALLY, YOU KNOW, WE'VE MET, OBVIOUSLY WE'RE PRETTY FAMILIAR WITH NORTH ORANGE COUNTY.
I, I HAVE SOME APPOINTMENTS COMING OUT DOWN IN SOUTH ORANGE COUNTY.
BUT AGAIN, IT'S, IT'S HARD WHEN I SAY I'M FROM THE CITY OF BAHARA, BUT I'M REALLY WORKING FOR THE READY SET RC PROGRAM.
BUT WE REALLY NEED YOUR HELP TO, YOU KNOW, WE'RE JUST TRYING TO FIGURE OUT, UM, A BETTER OUTREACH OR RECRUITMENT SYSTEM.
UM, SO IF ANYONE HAS ANY IDEAS, CERTAINLY LET US KNOW.
UM, COUNCIL MEMBER
AND THEN THE WOMEN'S CLUB, THEY SAW IT AND THEY SAID, WELL, WE WANNA MAKE OUR DONATIONS THIS YEAR TO THE READY SET C PROGRAM.
UM, SO I HELP THE PRESIDENT WRITE A GRANT TO THE ROTARY CLUB TO SERVE, YOU KNOW, A NUMBER OF STUDENTS THAT ARE LA HARBOR BASED AND THEY'LL GET SOME EXTRA CHRISTMAS, UH, UM, GIFTS THIS YEAR AND WE'RE GONNA HAVE A LITTLE LUNCHEON FOR THEM.
AND SO THAT CAME FROM SOMEONE SEEING SOMEONE'S SOCIAL MEDIA POST.
SO WE SEE THAT, YOU KNOW, IT DOES WORK.
AND, UM, IF WE CAN SHARE THE INFORMATION AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE, YOU KNOW, IT, IT GOES LONG WAYS.
UM, KIM DOES, DOES THE PROGRAM WORK THROUGH THE ORANGE COUNTY COURT SYSTEM FOR THE JUVENILES COME THROUGH? PARDON ME? FOR THE JUVENILES THAT COME THROUGH THE COURT SYSTEM? DO DOES IT LINK UP TO THAT? IT DOES.
SO WE ACTUALLY HAVE, WE HAVE FOUR SATELLITE OFFICES AND ONE OF 'EM IS AT THE PROBATION OFFICE.
THE PROBLEM IS, AND I'M GONNA BE CAREFUL WHAT I SAID CUZ WE'RE BEING RECORDED, IS THERE ARE A LOT OF, UM, UH, WHO TO JUMP THROUGH THE COUNTY, WHETHER IT'S THE, AN INTERNAL POLICY THROUGH THEM OR THE STATE NOW WANTS MORE DOCUMENTATION.
I MEAN, IF WE OFFER A SERVICE FOR $10, THERE'S PROBABLY 10 FORMS WE HAVE TO FILL OUT AND, YOU KNOW, CHASING DOWN THE PARTICIPANTS TO GET ADDITIONAL SIGNATURES OR WE FORGOT A DATE, YOU KNOW, TO, TO DATE SOMETHING.
AND IT HAS TO BE THE DATE THAT SERVICE WAS GIVEN.
AND IT'S JUST A LOT OF DOCUMENTATION.
AND I THINK SOME OF THE PARTICIPANTS ARE LIKE, IT'S JUST, IT'S TOO MUCH.
YOU KNOW, AND THERE'S SOME REQUIREMENTS ONCE YOU ENROLL, YOU NEED TO GO THROUGH FINANCIAL LITERACY.
THERE ARE SOME, SOME REQUIRED, UH, WORKSHOPS, WHICH I THINK ARE ALL GOOD AND THEY'RE ALL BENEFICIAL.
BUT ONE OVER THE WORKSHOPS IS 10 WEEKS.
AND WE FEEL LIKE THAT'S A LONG TIME FOR SOMEONE TO COMMIT TO, YOU KNOW, LET ALONE A REGULAR CLASS.
WE WOULD LOVE IT IF IT WAS, YOU KNOW, A TWO HOUR WORKSHOP AND IT SATISFIED THE FINANCIAL LITERACY REQUIREMENT.
BUT, YOU KNOW, BECAUSE IT'S F F D I C APPROVED AND ALL THAT, YOU KNOW, IT'S X AMOUNT OF HOURS.
BUT AGAIN, WHEN SOME OF OUR PARTICIPANTS ARE WORRIED ABOUT, YOU KNOW, HAVING A ROOF OVER THEIR HEAD OR WHERE THEY'RE GONNA GET THEIR NEXT MEAL, IT'S HARD FOR THEM TO COMMIT TO A 10 WEEK PROGRAM.
DO THEY GET PAID WHEN THEY ATTEND THESE PROGRAMS? YEAH.
OH, THAT MAKES A DIFFERENCE, RIGHT? YEAH, THEY DO.
UM, BUT YOU KNOW, A LOT OF 'EM HAVE GOOD INTENTIONS.
THEY'LL GO TO THE FIRST COUPLE, BUT THEN THERE'S, YOU KNOW, A CRISIS OR, YOU KNOW, SOMETHING HAPPENS THEIR, THEIR
[00:25:01]
INTERNET'S DOWN OR SOMEONE DIDN'T PAY THE BILL AND THEY DON'T HAVE, AND YOU KNOW, THEY'RE ENCOURAGED TO COME INTO, UM, THE DIFFERENT SITES.BUT, YOU KNOW, A LOT OF THE PROGRAMS ARE AFTER SCHOOL OR IN THE EVENINGS AND YOU KNOW, THEY'RE NOT GONNA DRIVE DOWN AT SIX O'CLOCK AT NIGHT TO KINDA ONE OF OUR CENTERS.
SO WE'RE LEARNING AS WE GO THROUGH THIS PROCESS.
AND WE CERTAINLY HAVE SOME SUGGESTIONS AND THAT WE'VE MADE, BUT WE'LL SEE, UM, YOU KNOW, IF ANY OF THEM ARE, UH, CONSIDERED I GUESS OVER YEAH.
CAUSE I, IN THE SOCCER LEAGUE, I KNOW WE HAVE A LOT OF KIDS, YOU KNOW, THOSE TYPES OF THINGS.
WITH THAT FIT THE PROFILE BASICALLY MM-HMM.
SO, AND WE HAVE SOME STANDOUT PARTICIPANTS.
I MEAN, THEY JUST, YOU KNOW, THEY, UM, TOOK ADVANTAGE OF THE OPPORTUNITY AND, AND THEY'RE REALLY SELF-SUFFICIENT.
I MEAN THAT THEY, UM, AND SO WE WANT THOSE PARTICIPANTS TOO, WHERE, YOU KNOW, THEIR BARRIER MIGHT BE VERY MINIMAL.
IT MIGHT, YOU KNOW, BE THAT THEY HAVE AN IEP AND YOU KNOW, THEY STUTTER.
AND SO GETTING A JOB IS HARD FOR THEM BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, THE EMPLOYER DOESN'T KNOW THAT THEY HAVE A DISABILITY OR WHATNOT, BUT, YOU KNOW, THEY, WE WORK WITH THEM ON THOSE.
AND SO THOSE ARE, ARE MORE HIGH FUNCTIONING, YOU KNOW, GIVING THEM THE SELF CONFIDENCE, WORKING WITH THEM ON INTERVIEW SKILLS AND ALL THAT KIND OF STUFF.
AND THEN YOU HAVE SOME THAT, YOU KNOW, THEY JUST, YOU KNOW, UM, ARE SO SOCIALLY AWKWARD.
AND SO WE WORK ON BUILDING UP THEIR SELF CONFIDENCE.
AND SO WE TRY TO REALLY HELP IN ANY WAY WE CAN SO THAT THEY CAN BE SUCCESSFUL TO, YOU KNOW, AT LEAST JUST GET AN INTERVIEW.
AND WE TELL 'EM, IF YOU JUST GET AN INTERVIEW, THAT'S STEP ONE.
AND EVEN IF YOU DON'T GET THE JOB, THAT MEANS, YOU KNOW, WE'LL LOOK FOR OTHER OPTIONS.
BUT JUST GETTING AN INTERVIEW FOR SOME OF THEM IS HUGE.
UM, SO, AND THEY HAVE CASE MANAGERS ASSIGNED TO THEM, SO THAT'S, YOU KNOW, REALLY THEY, WE WORK ON BUILDING A, A POSITIVE TRUSTING RELATIONSHIP AND ALL THAT.
BUT I'M JUST RECENTLY, YOU KNOW, WHEN I SAY RECENTLY, IT'S PROBABLY BEEN ABOUT THE LAST SIX MONTHS TAKING THIS PROGRAM OVER.
UM, YOU KNOW, IT'S KIND OF NEW TO ME AS FAR AS ALL THE LOGISTICS AND ALL THE DETAILS AND BEING COMPLIANCE.
I, I WISH I MAYBE WOULD'VE BEEN MORE INVOLVED EARLIER ON, CAUSE I THINK I WOULD'VE HELPED NAVIGATE.
NOW I'M KIND OF, YOU KNOW, WALKING INTO A PROGRAM THAT'S BEEN ESTABLISHED AND I THINK WE COULD HAVE DONE THINGS A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENTLY, BUT WE'RE MAKING THOSE CHANGES SLOWLY.
BUT WE ONLY HAVE ABOUT, YOU KNOW, EIGHT MORE MONTHS.
SO, UM, OR LESS, MAYBE LESS THAN THAT.
SO ANY HELP YOU CAN GIVE US WOULD BE GREAT.
SO IF YOU WANNA GO TO, TO COMMISSIONER COMMENTS, I THINK WE CAN START THERE.
UM, DOES ANYBODY HAVE ANY COMMENTS? UM, I JUST HAVE A, A QUICK, UH, QUICK UPDATE ON THE YOUTH COMMITTEE.
SO THE YOUTH COMMITTEE HAS BEEN GOING GREAT.
THEY HAVE, I THINK IT'S ABOUT 54 STUDENTS THAT ARE SIGNED UP, WHICH IS AMAZING.
AND WE CONSISTENTLY HAVE ABOUT 40 TO 45 KIDS SHOWING UP AT EACH MEETING.
SO IT'S REALLY NICE CAUSE YOU HAVE THIS ROOM FULL OF KIDS THERE AND THEY'VE BEEN DOING, UH, A LOT OF FUN ACTIVITIES.
THEY'RE GONNA BE BUSY IN OCTOBER.
THEY'RE HELPING WITH THE KIDS NIGHT OUT MOVIES IN THE PARK, THE COMMUNITY OPEN HOUSE, AND THE SENIOR DANCE.
SO THEY'RE GONNA BE VOLUNTEERING AT ALL OF THOSE.
AND FOR THE COMMUNITY OPEN HOUSE, WE'RE ACTUALLY GONNA HAVE A SNACK BAR AND THEY'RE GONNA BE SELLING DONUTS.
SO IF ANYONE WANTS TO DONATE A BOX OF DONUTS, UM, ABSOLUTELY THAT PROCEEDS WILL GO TOWARDS THE PROGRAM.
UM, CAN I TELL YOU SOMETHING ABOUT I DID, UM, I PARTICIPATED IN A LOVE LAHABRA MM-HMM.
SO THIS YEAR I CHOSE TO DO THE CARDS, YOU KNOW, AND THAT WAS WITH THE YOUTH COMMITTEE AND THEY WERE IN ATRIUM HERE.
AND THE, THE EXCITEMENT, THE ENTHUSIASM, THE, THE CREATIVITY WAS JUST LIKE AMAZING.
AND THEY'RE LIKE, YEAH, WE JUST WANNA DO MORE
I MEAN, WE'RE SITTING IN WITH THESE GIRLS, RIGHT.
AND THEY WERE JUST, AND GUYS ALIKE, YOU KNOW, AND, AND THEY JUST, I'M A TALL STRANGER.
SO WHEN WE HAD TO PUT OUR THINGS BACK, THEY'RE LIKE, OH, HEY, DO YOU WANNA SEE MY ARTWORK? OH.
I'M LIKE, YEAH,
THEY'RE, THEY'RE SO INVOLVED AND THEY WANNA BE SO INVOLVED WHENEVER THEY SEND OUT A SIGNUP SHEET, THAT THING GETS FULL RIGHT AWAY.
SO IT'S LIKE, GRAB YOUR SPOT IF YOU WANNA HELP OUT.
AND I THINK THEY WERE ALSO HELPING OUT THE MOBILE HOMES WITH THE CLEANUP BEFORE THE LINES WENT IN.
SO THEY, OH, THEY'RE, THEY'RE BIG HELP.
THEY'RE AWESOME PROGRAMS GROWN.
I'M GLAD I HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO TELL YOU THAT BECAUSE I WAS JUST THRILLED WHEN I WALKED AWAY TO SEE THAT WITH THE YOUTH.
UM, ANYBODY ELSE? OH, JUST SURE.
BRIEFLY, WE HAD OUR FIRST SEASONAL MEETING FOR THE, UH, LAHABRA OUTDOORS.
AND WE, UH, I THINK I SHARED SOME MONTHS AGO THAT WE HAD OUR, UM, GRANT EXTENDED TO THIS YEAR.
WE HAD HIT SOME BUMPS IN THE ROAD LAST YEAR TRYING TO RALLY UP ENOUGH YOUNG PEOPLE TO ATTEND
[00:30:01]
THE, THE EVENTS.SO WE HAVE A NEW STRATEGY MM-HMM.
I THINK WE'RE GONNA TAP THE YOUTH MM-HMM.
DID HAVE YOU BEEN BACK? I THOUGHT THEY DOING A CAMPING TRIP AT THE END OF THE YEAR TOO.
THEY MENTIONED SOMETHING ABOUT THAT.
WELL, THAT'S, THAT WAS THE SURVEY.
WE ALREADY HAD A LOT OF PARENTS THAT ACTUALLY ASKED IF THEY COULD COME.
SO I SAID, YOU KNOW, WE'LL TAKE A LIST, BUT YOU KNOW, THERE'LL BE A LITTLE TRAINING INVOLVED.
AND SO DID KATIE GET RESPONSE IN TERMS OF A DATE? UM, LET ME DOUBLE CHECK.
CAUSE I KNOW THE SURVEY WENT OUT.
SURVEY, AND THEN WE WERE GONNA TRY TO, THE DATES DATES WERE ON THERE.
I BELIEVE YOU HAVE IT GABBY, BY CHANCE.
I DON'T HAVE THE RESULTS, BUT LET ME GET THOSE.
BUT THAT SAME DAY SHE DID SEND OUT THE SURVEY.
ANYWAY, WE HAVE A, A NEW GAME PLAN MM-HMM.
IT DOESN'T SAVE A DATE UPDATE? NO.
WE'LL HAVE TO CHECK ON THAT THEN.
THEY DID DO A POLL AND SO IT LOOKS LIKE, UH, JUNE 24TH THROUGH THE 20, THE WEEKEND FIFTH.
A GOOD DATE IS THAT, THAT'S THE, THAT HAS 19 OUT 23 BOOKS.
SO WHY DON'T WE USE THAT DATE, RICHARD? THAT'S A WEEKEND.
SO WE'RE DOING THE SATURDAY, SATURDAY OVERNIGHT.
WE HAD A LOT OF PARENTS IN WANTING TO ASK HOW THEY CAN BE A VOLUNTEER, SO THAT'S GREAT.
WELL, THAT'S ALREADY GOOD NEWS.
DENISE, DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING? UM, NO, I DON'T.
MARISA, ANYTHING? UM, THAT NO, I DON'T HAVE ANYTHING ELSE.
UM, I'M JUST, UM, I JUST WANTED TO, UM, LET THE COMMISSIONERS KNOW THAT I NEED TO HEAR BACK FROM THEM SO I CAN RELAY THE TRANSPORTATION, UH, THE CAR FOR US IN THE PARADE.
SO I'LL, I'LL LET HIM KNOW THAT, AND GABBY AND MYSELF AND THEN WE'LL WAIT TO HEAR FROM RICHARD.
UM, YOU KNOW WHAT COMMISSIONERS, I COULD YOU, WE PASS THESE DOWN AND THEN I WILL FORWARD THOSE TO KIM AND THEN WE WILL ADJOURN OUR MEETING.
WITH NOTHING FURTHER TO BE SAID, I WOULD LIKE TO ADJOURN OUR MEETING AND WE WILL BE MEETING, WE WILL RE ADJOURN ON NO, UH, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 9TH, 2022 AT 6:30 PM.
