I CAN'T STAND THE WAY IT LOOKS, SO, UM, IF ANYONE HAS ANY IDEAS OR SUGGESTIONS, CERTAINLY SEND THEM MY WAY AND WE'RE GONNA REVAMP IT FOR THE 2023, UH, CALENDAR YEAR.
UM, I KNOW IT GETS A LITTLE BUSY WITH ALL THE DIFFERENT, UM, EVENTS WE HAVE GOING ON, AND THEN I HATE TO TAKE 'EM OFF CAUSE I, IT'S A GOOD REMINDER OF ALL THE WONDERFUL ACTIVITIES THAT ARE TAKING PLACE IN THE CITY.
UM, BUT OF COURSE COMING UP, EXCUSE ME, COMING UP.
WE HAVE OUR VETERANS DAY THIS FRIDAY, UH, NOVEMBER 11TH.
AND WE HAVE ONE OF OUR CO-CHAIRS HERE, THERESA, SO YOU WANNA GIVE ANY MORE, UM, UPDATES TO THE EVENT AND THE BREAKFAST? UM, SURE.
THE, UM, THE EVENT IS GOING TO BEGIN AT, UM, OH GOSH, I HAD ALL MY PERSONAL NOTES NOW.

SO IT'S GONNA BE A REALLY GOOD PROGRAM AND, UM, WE'RE LOOKING FORWARD TO HAVING YOU.
WE, I WOULD LIKE TO INVITE ALL MY COMMISSIONERS TO COME AND TAKE PART.
AND THAT IS FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 11TH.
AND THE LAHABRA HOST LIONS CLUB ALSO IS HOSTING A BREAKFAST PRIOR TO THE EVENT.
AND I BELIEVE WE CAN BUY TICKETS AT THE DOOR.
IS THAT CORRECT? MARIE AND GABBY? OH, TO THE VETERAN'S DAY? YEAH.
I DIDN'T HEAR THEM SAY TO BUY TICKETS.
DIDN'T TICKETS? I DIDN'T, I DIDN'T HEAR THAT.
THEY NEVER SAID THAT AT OUR MEETINGS.
OH, THAT YOU PAY, DO YOU PAY AT THE EVENT? I THINK, IS IT $5 OR IS IT FREE? I DON'T KNOW.
IT WAS, REMEMBER IT BEING FREE.
YEAH, I THINK IT WAS FREE LAST YEAR.
IT'S AT COMMUNITY CENTER, RIGHT? YES, I'M SORRY.
AND IT IS AT THE COMMUNITY CENTER.
WELL, MAYBE THIS IS A FREE EVENT, SO I APOLOGIZE.
WE HOPE TO SEE YOU ALL OUT THERE.
AND JUST A SIDE NOTE IS THAT I DO HAVE SOME RAFFLE TICKETS FOR THE QUILT.
SO IF ANYBODY'S INTERESTED, PLEASE COME SEE ME AFTER THE MEETING.
I ALREADY BOUGHT A BUNCH AND I'M GONNA WIN.
SO
I SAID THAT ABOUT THE POWER BALL
SO OF COURSE LATER THAT DAY, THE CORN FESTIVAL OPENS UP AT FIVE O'CLOCK AT EL CENTRA ALLIANCES PARK.
UM, AS YOU CAN IMAGINE, THERE'S BEEN SOME LOGISTICAL ISSUES WITH THE RAIN THAT WE RECENTLY HAD AND THE WET GROUNDS AT THE PARK.
WE WERE NOT ABLE TO ACCOMMODATE AND ALLOW FOR THE CARNIVAL RIDES TO MOVE INTO THE PARK ON THE, ON THE DAY THAT THEY NEEDED TO, WHICH WAS YESTERDAY.
UM, AND SO IT CREATED, YOU KNOW, SOME ISSUES WITH HAVING TO, UH, REDESIGN THE SPACE FOR THE, THE RIDES.
AND SO THEY WILL BE ON IRNA AND ORANGE STREET AND THEN ALSO IN THE LIBRARY PARKING LOT.
SO, UM, THERE WILL BE A FEW SMALLER KITTY RIDES THAT WILL BE INSIDE THE PARK, BUT FOR THE MOST PART, THE FOOTPRINT HAS EXPANDED BECAUSE THEY CANNOT HAVE THE HEAVIER RIDES ON THE GRASS RIGHT NOW.
SO, UM, WE'VE HAD TO OF COURSE, UM, ADDRESS RESIDENT CONCERNS THAT LIVE RIGHT THERE ON ONNA AND ORANGE.
AND, AND WE UNDERSTAND THAT, YOU KNOW, IT'S A LITTLE DIFFERENT THAN JUST HAVING 'EM CLOSED OFF NOW.
THERE'S ACTUAL RIDES IN FRONT OF THEIR HOUSES.
THERE'S LIGHTS, THERE'S NOISE.
UM, SO, WHICH WE'VE BEEN DOING DAMAGE CONTROL TODAY, TRYING TO MAKE SURE THAT, UM, WE CAN ACCOMMODATE
[00:10:01]
SOME OF THEIR CONCERNS.BUT IT SHOULD BE A GREAT WEEKEND.
AND THEN OF COURSE, WE'LL SEE YOU ALL THIS SATURDAY MORNING AT THE, UH, LAHABRA, UH, PARADE AND THE BREAKFAST HERE AT CITY HALL.
AND HOPEFULLY EVERYONE HAS RSV PIZZA, BRIANNA.
IF NOT, YOU CAN LET ME KNOW TONIGHT AND I WILL CERTAINLY SHOOT HER AN EMAIL IN THE MORNING.
I, I WILL BE ATTENDING, BY THE WAY.
I JUST, UM, KIM, I HAVE A QUESTION.
IS I JUST NEEDED THE, UM, THE LINEUP FOR THE CORN FESTIVAL SO THAT I COULD TELL LIKE RICHARD IS GOING TO BE ALLOWING US TO USE HIS VEHICLE AND FOR DENISE, RICHARD, AND MYSELF.
AND YOU'RE GONNA DO A LIONS FUNCTION, IS THAT CORRECT, GABBY? YES.
SO, UM, I'M JUST GONNA, I, I DIDN'T GET A TIMELINE.
I CALLED UH, DOUG GUYMAN AND I SPOKE TO KATHERINE, BUT I DIDN'T GET A, A TIMELINE FOR LIKE WHERE THE CARS GO, WHERE THEY PARK.
WE TAKE A SHUTTLE THAT SORT OF, SO I'LL TELL YOU WHAT I KNOW.
UM, I DON'T HAVE A LINEUP MYSELF.
UM, I DO KNOW THAT WE WILL BE SHUTTLING ALL OF OUR GUESTS THAT ARE GONNA BE HERE AT THE BREAKFAST IN THE MORNING.
WE HAVE TWO BOYS AND GIRLS OF VANS AS WELL AS OUR OWN
THEY WILL DO BE DOING PICKUPS HERE AT THE CITY HALL, AT THE COMMUNITY CENTER AND AT THE CHILDREN'S MUSEUM.
AND THE SHUTTLES WILL BE ROTATING, UM, THROUGH THOSE THREE VENUES AND THEN DURING DROPOFFS AT OG ON LAHA BOULEVARD.
AND THEY WILL BE DOING THAT ROTATION FROM SEVEN 30 IN THE MORNING TO NINE 20.
UM, AND SO EVERYONE WILL BE AT THE LINEUP OR THE FRAY LINEUP AT OG AND I WILL TRY MY BEST TO GET SOMETHING FROM DOUG AHEAD OF TIME JUST TO GIVE YOU GUYS KIND OF A HEADS UP OF WHERE YOU ARE IN THE PARADE.
I DON'T HAVE ANY OF THAT INFORMATION RIGHT NOW.
I'M GONNA ASK VICTOR AND SEE IF HE'LL TELL ME.
PARDON ME? MY HUSBAND IS ANNOUNCING THE PARADE.
SO I JUST SENT HIM A TEXT TO ASK HIM WHAT NUMBER.
SO I, I'M JUST TRYING TO GET CLARITY HERE.
SO MARIE, WITH THAT, DO I HAVE TO DO A 22ND SPIEL TO WHAT THE COMMUNITY SERVICE DOES AS WE GO BY? WHO? WHO, WHO SUBMITS THAT? IS IT MYSELF? YEAH.
SO DID YOU FILL OUT EXHIBIT YET? YES, I DID.
IT SHOULD BE ON THERE, RIGHT? YEAH.
THERE'S A LITTLE BLUR, A LITTLE SPOT FOR THAT.
SO LEMME MAKE SURE YOU HAS IT THE SPOT.
UM, DOUG DID CONFIRM THAT, UH, BOTH THE BEAUTIFICATION COMMITTEE AND THE COMMISSION WILL HAVE A SIGN.
I WAS GONNA ORDER OUR OWN SIGNS.
AND HE DID CONFIRM THAT HE HAD TAKEN CARE OF THOSE SIGNS.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE OR WHAT IT SAYS, BUT HE SAID HE TOOK CARE OF IT.
RICHARD SAID HE HAS A TWO DOOR.
SO WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO GET OUR LITTLE GLOVES SO WE CAN WIN.
WHAT KIND OF CAR? ANY CORN HATS.
IS THAT WHAT IS LEXUS TWO DOOR.
I LOVE HE HAD SOME BLUE SHIRTS.
WHAT TIME WILL THEY CLOSE THE STREET? I NEVER GOT ANY NOTIFICATION OR ANYTHING.
SEVEN O'CLOCK THEY'LL CLOSE THE STREET AT SEVEN.
CAUSE I NEED TO GET INTO THE OFFICE AND THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO BE DELIVERING THE SOUND SYSTEM AT SEVEN.
HOPEFULLY WE CAN GET IN THERE.
SO WE'RE LOOKING FORWARD TO, UM, A FUN WEEKEND AND I HOPE TO SEE A LOT OF YOU GUYS OUT THERE.
UM, I DID WANT TO THANK YOU ALL FOR GOING TO THE FIRST COMMUNITY OPEN HOUSE, UM, ON OCTOBER 22ND.
WE'VE GOTTEN A LOT OF GOOD FEEDBACK.
OF COURSE, IT WAS OUR FIRST TIME EXPANDING IT TO THAT FOOTPRINT, INCLUDING ALL THE DEPARTMENTS.
NORMALLY IT'S BEEN THE POLICE OPEN HOUSE, AND SO OBVIOUSLY WE, UM, YOU KNOW, UH, JUMPED IN ON THEIR EVENT AND THEN EXPANDED IT TO MORE OF A COMMUNITY WIDE CITYWIDE EVENT.
BUT I WANTED TO KNOW, DID WE GET ANY FEEDBACK FROM NOT ONLY YOU, BUT FROM THE COMMUNITY OR RESIDENTS? HAVE YOU HEARD? UM, YEAH.
YOU KNOW, LIKE I WAS AT THE BOOTH, I WORKED THE BOOTH MM-HMM.
AND, UM, IT WAS REALLY EXCITING BECAUSE, UM, IT, IT JUST HAD A STEADY FLOW ALL DAY LONG MM-HMM.
AND, AND, UH, HE, HE SEEMED A LITTLE NERVOUS, YOU KNOW, AT FIRST.
AND THERE WAS JUST, YOU KNOW, A LOT OF PEOPLE LIKE THAT PASSPORT CONCEPT.
WE HAD SOME PEOPLE STOPPING BY.
A LOT OF PEOPLE STOP BY ACTUALLY FOR THE PASSPORT SIGNATURE.
AND, UM, AND WE HAD A FEW PEOPLE ASK ABOUT, YOU KNOW, THE VETERANS JOINING THE AMERICAN LEGION.
SO YEAH, IT WAS A REAL GOOD EVENT.
[00:15:01]
YEAH.ANYONE ELSE HAVE COMMENTS? I SAW EVERYONE OUT THERE, SO THAT WAS GREAT.
THE CITY, UM, I THINK IT WAS PUBLIC WORKS THAT HAD THIS STUMPS OUT THERE MM-HMM.
AND I WAS QUITE IMPRESSED BECAUSE THERE WAS ONE STUMP AND I THOUGHT IT WAS GONNA BE LIKE A, I DON'T KNOW, LIKE THERE WAS JUST ROTTING BETWEEN EX THROWING OR YEAH.
LIKE THERE WAS ROT IN BETWEEN.
BUT, UM, THE GENTLEMAN THAT WAS AT THE DISPLAY EXPLAINED THAT IT WAS HERE ON EUCLID SOMEWHERE AND IT WAS A BEEHIVE.
THEY WENT TO CUT THE TREE AND OUT STARTED COMING BEES.
SO THE WHOLE CENTER WAS, IT MUST HAVE BEEN LIKE THAT BIG AROUND, WAS A WHOLE BIG, HUGE BEEHIVE IN THE INSIDE THE TREE.
THEY TEND TO KEEP LIKE THOSE LITTLE, UM, LITTLE REMEMBRANCES OF DIFFERENT EVENTS THAT HAPPEN THAT ARE OUT OF THE ORDINARY.
SO IT WAS, IT WAS KIND OF EXCITING.
SO HE WAS EXPLAINING THE DIFFERENT TREES AND, AND JUST ASKING THE QUESTIONS.
THEY SEEMED PROUD OF WHAT THEY DO IN THE CITY.
SO I WAS REALLY PLEASED WITH THAT.
AND, UH, AND PEOPLE SEEMED TO BE REALLY HAVING A GOOD TIME.
IT WAS A REALLY FRIENDLY CROWD.
UM, I THINK EVERYONE HAD A GOOD TIME.
THE ONLY THING, UM, PEOPLE WERE ASKING ABOUT, THEY LIKED THE PASSPORT, BUT THEY REALLY WEREN'T SURE IF WE WERE SUPPOSED TO SIGN IT FROM THE BOOTH AND OKAY.
THAT THERE WERE, AND SOME OF THEM ALSO DIDN'T SEEM TO KNOW THAT THERE WERE EXHIBITS INSIDE THE CITY HALL MM-HMM.
THEY THOUGHT IT WAS JUST ALL OUTSIDE THE STREET, OUTSIDE AND IN THE POLICE.
BUT WE WILL, UM, BE IMPROVING OUR SIGNAGE, UM, DEFINITELY FOR NEXT YEAR.
THERE WAS ALSO, YOU KNOW, A WHOLE SECTION IN THE POLICE COMPOUND IS WHAT WE CALL IT, BUT THEIR PARKING LOT.
AND THERE WEREN'T ANY DIRECTIONAL SIGNS GOING IN THERE.
I THINK WE JUST WEREN'T QUITE SURE HOW BIG OR SMALL THIS EVENT WAS GONNA BE.
BUT KNOWING THAT IT WAS A PRETTY GOOD TURNOUT AND THAT IT WAS A BIG FOOTPRINT, WE WANNA MAKE SURE THAT PEOPLE DON'T MISS OUT ON ANYTHING.
DID THE PASSPORT PAGE HAVE A MAP ON THE BACK OF IT, LIKE TELLING YOU WHERE THE STATIONS WERE? NO, IT DIDN'T, BUT IT DID SAY LIKE THAT THERE WERE SOME THINGS IN CITY HALL.
MAYBE THAT'S A SUGGESTION FOR NEXT YEAR ON THE, THE BACKSIDE HAVE A MAP SHOWING THE DIFFERENT STATIONS.
AND I DON'T KNOW, MAYBE IT'S EASIER FOR STAFF JUST TO COME UP WITH A STAMP.
I MEAN, YOU CAN GO TO A, OH, THAT'D BE STATIONARY STORE.
AND EVERYBODY GETS A DIFFERENT STAMP.
SO THERE'S NO SIGNATURES WHO'S EVER AT THE TABLE.
JUST STAMP THE, WELL, OUR, OUR BOOTH ALREADY SET OUR C MOBILE UNIT.
WE PUT A LITTLE TINY STICKER ON IT.
THAT WAS OUR STATE OF, BUT DEFINITELY, UM, A STAMP OR A STICKER AND THAT, AND WE WERE, HAD ENCOURAGED PEOPLE TO DO A STAMP OR A STICKER.
BUT WE'LL MAKE SURE WE COORDINATE THAT NEXT YEAR.
I THINK THERE WERE LIKE TOO MANY ENTRIES TO DO A STAMP.
SO I THINK WE CAN, AND I THINK MAYBE, MAYBE IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE EVERY SINGLE STATION.
MAYBE IT'S 20 OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
CAUSE UM, I, I THINK SOME PEOPLE WERE JUST WANTING TO GET THE STAMPS AND THEY WEREN'T REALLY SPENDING TIME IN THE DIFFERENT EXHIBIT AREAS OR, OR BOOTHS.
BUT I HAPPENED TO BE WITH KELLY AND KIM IN THE MORNING AND WE WENT TO THE, THE ROAD CREW.
THE HIGHWAY DEPARTMENT I GUESS, RIGHT? YEAH.
AND THOSE FOLKS WERE LIKE, LIKE YOU SAID, SUPER, UH, EXCITED TO HAVE US STOP BY AND REALLY SHARING THEIR HISTORY OF THEIR CAREERS AND THINGS THAT THEY DO AND HAVING US BE THERE, YOU KNOW, AND THANKING THEM FOR THAT.
AND THEN WHEN I CAME INTO CITY HALL, I'M NOT SURE WHAT THE, THE TABLE WAS AT THE VERY BACK, YOU KNOW, AWAY FROM THE RECEPTION DESK, LIKE THE OPPOSITE END OF THE, WAS IT COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT? SO MAYBE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT OR ENGINEERING OR SOMETHING, OR ENGINEERING.
THEY HAD, THEY HAD, UH, PARK PLANS THAT THEY WERE GIVEN OUT.
THOSE FOLKS WERE LIKE SUPER, SUPER ENTHUSIASTIC ABOUT, WOW, THIS, YOU EVEN CARE ABOUT THIS STUFF.
WE DO THIS EVERY DAY AND WE GO HOME AT NIGHT, BUT HERE WE ARE CELEBRATING THE THINGS WE DO.
AND THAT'S, THAT'S HUGE I THINK.
NO, IT IS FOR BOTH THE COMMUNITY AND FOR US THAT, YOU KNOW, VOLUNTEER FOR THE COMMISSIONS, IT REALLY OPENED UP A LOT.
I THINK IT OPENED UP A LOT OF, TO THE, THE COMMUNITY TO SEE WHAT GOES ON.
YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING? MM-HMM.
CAUSE A LOT OF TIMES YOU COULD JUST KIND OF, YOUR VISION IS VERY, YOU KNOW, ISOLATED TO YOUR BLOCK, YOU KNOW, OR WHATEVER.
BUT YEAH, I THOUGHT THAT'S WHAT IT DID A GOOD JOB AT THAT.
WE WANNA MAKE SURE THAT, YOU KNOW, THEIR RESIDENTS IN THE COMMUNITY KNOW OF ALL THE GREAT SERVICES AND PROGRAMS AND SUPPORT THERE IS RIGHT HERE LOCALLY.
AND ALSO, YOU KNOW, THAT THERE, THEY MIGHT HAVE MAYBE HAD A NEGATIVE OR A POSITIVE EXPERIENCE AT CITY HALL OR, OR THE COMMUNITY CENTER OR THE POLICE STATION.
BUT THAT, UM, YOU KNOW, WE OFFER SO MUCH MORE AND WE WANNA MAKE SURE THAT, YOU KNOW, THEY KNOW THAT WE'RE HERE FOR THEM.
UM, REGARDLESS OF, OF WHAT, WHAT THEY NEED TO DO HERE FOR CITY BUSINESS OR IF THEY HAVE AN ISSUE WITH A PARKING TICKET OR WHATEVER IT IS.
I GUESS IT'S FOR A LOT OF RESIDENTS, IT'S THE FIRST TIME THEY EVER GO IN CITY HALL.
I THINK THAT WHEN THEY RENOVATED, WHEN THEY DID THAT, I LOVED IT.
WAS, WAS THERE A BANNER ON, UH, LAHABRA BOULEVARD ANNOUNCING IT? MM-HMM.
NO, THERE IS NOT A BANNER AND THERE'S A REASON RIGHT NOW, BUT WE HOPE BY
[00:20:01]
NEXT YEAR AND SOON THAT WE WILL HAVE A BANNER.APPARENTLY THERE WAS AN ACCIDENT AND THE POLL CAME DOWN.
UM, AND IT'S BEEN DOWN FOR QUITE A WHILE, SO WE HAVE PROBABLY ABOUT THREE OR FOUR EVENTS THAT HAVE UNFORTUNATELY NOT BEEN ABLE TO HAVE A BANNER.
AND I KNOW THAT THEY'RE TRYING TO FIGURE OUT A WAY TO RESOLVE IT.
CAUSE I GUESS IT'S AN AREA OR A POLE THAT GETS HIT QUITE OFTEN.
UM, AND SO THAT'S WHAT MY UNDERSTANDING IS.
BUT DEFINITELY AGAIN, MORE SIGNAGE, MORE BANNERS.
UM, WOULD BE, WELL ONE REALLY EXCITING, UH, ACTIVITY, I GUESS YOU HAD, ONCE YOU GOT ALL THE STATIONS SIGNED OFF, YOU WERE ELIGIBLE TO COMPETE OR I GUESS FOR A STREET SIGN.
WE COULD WIN A SIGN AND CHANGE THE NAME OF OUR STREET.
I THINK IT'S JUST A NO, THAT'S THERE, IT'S A COLLECTION ITEM.
WELL THAT WOULD BE A BE GREAT FOR A $500 TICKET.
SO WE HAD OUR YOUTH COMMITTEE SELLING HOT DOGS AND UM, AND CHIPS AND DONUTS, UM, AS A FUNDRAISER FOR THEM.
BUT, UM, I THINK, YOU KNOW, THERE HAVE BEEN SOME REQUESTS FOR MAYBE SOME ADDITIONAL FOOD, UM, OR FOOD TRUCK.
BUT, YOU KNOW, AGAIN, WE WEREN'T SURE HOW BIG OR SMALL THIS WAS GONNA BE.
AND WE ALSO WANNA MAKE SURE WE GIVE OPPORTUNITIES TO OUR, OUR LOCAL GROUPS TO, TO MAKE SOME MONEY.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE FINAL YEAH.
DO YOU KNOW WHAT THAT FINAL NUMBER IS? GABBY? I D KNOW WHAT THE FINAL NUMBER WAS.
BUT THEY WERE PRETTY BUSY AT LUNCHTIME.
CAUSE THEY DID DONUTS AND COFFEE TOO.
I DON'T THINK PEOPLE STARTED TO SHOW UP UNTIL AROUND LUNCHTIME.
IT WAS A LITTLE GLOOMY IN THE MORNING.
SO IT STARTED OUT, BUT THEN IT, IT WAS BEAUTIFUL WEATHER.
I THINK IT WAS SUPPOSED TO RAIN, REMEMBER? IT WAS SUPPOSED TO SPRINKLE AND IT DIDN'T.
IT DIDN'T, IT WAS A BEAUTIFUL DAY.
I THINK IT'LL JUST GROW CUZ THAT'S, IT WAS A REALLY GOOD IDEA TO GET ALL THE DEPARTMENTS IN.
THE CITY MANAGER WAS VERY PLEASED.
AND, UM, AS WELL WAS THE CITY COUNCIL.
BUT WE APPRECIATE HAVING THE COMMISSION OUT THERE TOO.
IT LOOKS GOOD TO HAVE YOUR SUPPORT AND PARTICIPATION.
WELL THEN ALSO UPCOMING IN, UM, DECEMBER AS WE HAVE OUR TAMA FESTIVAL.
AS YOU ALL ARE AWARE, THAT'S AT ONE OF OUR BIGGER EVENTS.
THAT'LL BE ON SATURDAY, DECEMBER 3RD FROM 10:00 AM TO 10:00 PM AND SO WE'RE GONNA BE ON OR NOT UN LAUNCHING, LAUNCHING OUR, UM, ENTERTAINMENT TOMORROW OR FRIDAY.
WE'LL BE DOING A BIG MEDIA POST.
BUT WE HAVE SOME GREAT ENTERTAINMENT COMING IN.
UM, WE'RE GONNA HAVE THREE DIFFERENT STAGES, UM, AT THE TEMA FESTIVAL, WHICH WE'VE HAD IN THE PAST.
BUT, UM, YOU KNOW, ALL THE ENTERTAINMENT WILL BE BALANCED.
WE'VE HAD LIKE A KID STAGE AREA.
WE HAVE THE CITY HALL STAGE AND THE MAIN STAGE, BUT WE'RE MAKING SURE THAT WE HAVE, YOU KNOW, SOLID ACTS AT EACH OF THE STAGES, UM, JUST TO KIND OF SHARE IN THE, UM, THE PROFESSIONAL ENTERTAINMENT THERE.
AND THEN OF COURSE WE HAVE, UM, HOLIDAY WISHES COMING UP ON, UH, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 14TH.
WE KNOW THAT'S THE SAME DAY AS OUR COMMISSION MEETING.
WE ALSO KNOW THAT SOMETIMES WE DON'T MEET OR WE, WE DO A HOLIDAY OUTING.
SO I HAVEN'T HAD A CHANCE TO TALK TO KELLY ABOUT THAT QUITE YET.
AND AS YOU KNOW, SHE'S HAD, UM, SHE'S HELPING HER DAD OUT RIGHT NOW.
AND SO I KIND OF WANTED TO, YOU KNOW, SEE HOW HER SCHEDULE WAS GONNA LOOK, UM, BEFORE WE DECIDE IF WE'RE GONNA, UM, MAYBE, UM, HAVE OUR COMMISSION MEETING, UM, OR HAVE A HOLIDAY CHAIR INSTEAD OF A COMMISSION MEETING BECAUSE IT IS ALSO ON THE SAME DAY AS HOLIDAY WISHES.
UM, OR WE'LL MEET AFTER HOLIDAY WISHES.
MY HOLIDAY WISHES WILL TAKE PLACE AT THE CHILDREN'S MUSEUM AGAIN THIS YEAR, UM, AS WE DID LAST YEAR FROM TWO TO 6:00 PM AND OF COURSE WE'D LOVE TO HAVE VOLUNTEERS.
WE WOULD LOVE TO HAVE YOU THERE.
IT WILL PROBABLY BE A LITTLE BUSIER.
I KNOW LAST YEAR WE HAD SOME SLOW POCKETS BECAUSE WE HAD SCHEDULED ALL THE FAMILIES TO COME AT DIFFERENT TIMES BASED ON, UM, ALPHA MEDICAL ORDER AND ALL THAT.
WELL, WE REALIZED THAT THAT JUST PEOPLE CAME NO MATTER WHAT TIME
AND SO AGAIN, YOU KNOW, WE HAD THE TIME, WE HAD THE STAFF AND SO WE'RE KIND OF NOT GOING TO HAVE A SCHEDULED TIME.
SO WE FEEL LIKE WE COULD BE PRETTY BUSY, YOU KNOW, AT LEAST EARLY ON.
A LOT OF PEOPLE LIKE TO COME RIGHT IN THE BEGINNING.
UM, BUT THAT WAY WE'RE NOT, YOU KNOW, HAVING TO WAIT FOR THE LAST FEW LETTERS OF THE NIGHT.
AND WE'RE KIND OF STANDING AROUND AT LEAST IF THEY WANTED TO COME EARLIER, THEY CAN.
NOW, IS THERE, IS IT GOING TO BE A SHOPPING TYPE OF EVENT? OR WILL YOU DO IT LIKE YOU DID LAST YEAR WHERE YOU UNFORTUNATELY IT'S, IT'S NOT GONNA HAVE THE SHOPPING EXPERIENCE BECAUSE WE, WE DON'T HAVE THE LOCATION THAT WE HAD AT PETCO, WHICH IS NOW THE ST.
JUDE MEDICAL BUILDING ON THE CORNER OF, OF THE PROPERTY AT, ON NORTHGATE MARKET BECAUSE IT WAS SUCH A BIG SPACE.
DO YOU REMEMBER HOW BIG IT WAS? MM-HMM.
WE JUST, THE SMALL LITTLE SCOUT ROOM THAT WE'RE IN AT THE COMMUNITY CENTER EXPANSION IS ALL I HAVE RIGHT NOW AS FAR AS SORTING, ORGANIZING, WRAPPING, OR NOT WRAPPING, UM, PACKAGING.
UH, AND SO WE JUST DON'T HAVE THE ROOM TO, TO SET UP
[00:25:01]
EVERYTHING AND TO HAVE THAT SHE EXPERIENCE.BUT IF YOU EVER COME ACROSS IN THE FUTURE, AN EMPTY BUILDING OR, UM, AND EVEN THE COMMUNITY CENTER, WE THOUGHT ABOUT THE, THE GROUND BALLROOM, BUT WE CAN'T, I CAN'T BOOK IT FOR TWO OR THREE WEEKS CUZ WE HAVE SO MANY RENTALS AND SO MANY ASIA GROUPS AND CLASSES AND SENIOR PROGRAMMING.
BUT I KNOW I WOULD LOVE TO GO BACK TO THAT CONCEPT.
HOW DOES SOMEONE GET, UM, LIKE REGISTERED FOR HOLIDAY WISHES? SO WE'LL TAKE REFERRALS, BUT WE DO WORK CLOSELY WITH THE COMMUNITY OUTREACH LIAISONS AT ALL THE SCHOOLS.
SO WE'VE BEEN ALREADY SENT THE, THE MASS EMAIL THAT WE SEND OUT TO ALL NINE SCHOOLS IN THE HARBOR CITY SCHOOL DISTRICT.
AND THEN WE WORK DIRECTLY WITH THE, UM, ADMINISTRATION OFFICE IN LOW JOINT.
AND THEY IDENTIFY A SMALLER NUMBER OF FAMILIES, BUT EACH FAMILY OR EACH SCHOOL, UM, GIVES US A NAME OF, OF 30 FAMILIES THAT THEY'VE IDENTIFIED.
IS THERE CAN, CAN A RESIDENT COME FORWARD AND LIKE REQUEST TO BE ADDED? THEY CAN, IT, IT IS ON A FIRST COME, FIRST SERVE BASIS.
IT IS, YOU KNOW, BASED ON NEED.
AND THAT'S WHY WE LIKE THE COMMUNITY, UM, LIAISONS TO GIVE US A REFERRAL LIST CUZ THEY CAN HELP IDENTIFY THOSE THAT REALLY NEED IT.
UM, BUT WE WOULDN'T, YOU KNOW, IF WE HAVE, UH, THE ROOM AND UM, THE, UH, TOYS AND THINGS TO GIVE OUT, WE CERTAINLY WOULD, WOULD HELP A FAMILY.
THEY, THE COMMUNITY CENTER OR HOW WOULD, PARDON ME? WHO WOULD THEY CONTACT THEM? THEY CAN CONTACT MYSELF OR ANDRE ARA.
IS THE, UM, SHOP AND D BEING HELD THE SAME WAY WITH THE SCHOOL LIAISONS, OR HOW IS THAT HAPPENING? I'M SORRY, SAY THAT AGAIN? THE SHOP AND D THE SHOP AND DINE, YEAH.
THE CARDS THAT ARE BEING GIVEN OUT BY THE CITY, UH, FOR 20 GOOD DEVELOPMENT AND GO.
I'M SORRY, WHAT WAS THE QUESTION? IS IT, IS IT BEING HANDLED THROUGH THE SCHOOLS AS WELL OR HOW DID, HOW DID THE RESIDENTS APPLY FOR THAT? I DON'T KNOW THAT TO BE HONEST.
UM, THAT'S COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT IS RUNNING THAT PROGRAM, THE SHOP AND DINING, IS THAT WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT? YES.
I BELIEVE THAT IS COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT.
THAT'S NOT IN OUR DEPARTMENT, SO I DON'T HAVE A LOT OF INFORMATION ON THAT, BUT I WOULD BE HAPPY TO GET IT FOR YOU AND SEND IT OUT.
MIRANDA'S RUNNING THAT PROGRAM, I BELIEVE.
UM, AND SO I'LL CHECK WITH HER.
IS THAT, THAT'S NOT THE GRANT ONE THOUGH, IS IT? NO, I DON'T THINK SO.
I THINK IT'S THE, I DON'T KNOW.
THEY WERE GONNA GIVE OUT THE GIFT CARDS AT $200.
AND THEN THEY CAN SPEND IT ANYWHERE IN LAHABRA.
I HAVE NOT SEEN ANY ADVERTISING ON THAT, TO BE HONEST.
DID SEE IT ONCE ON FACEBOOK, BUT I DON'T KNOW HOW TO CATCH IT, YOU KNOW? OKAY.
YEAH, I, UM, IT WAS ONLY PRESENTED AT THE COUNCIL MEETING, I THINK, WHEN I HEARD ABOUT IT.
THAT'S, THAT'S, WE SHOULD HAVE MORE INFORMATION.
YEAH, NO, I, I'M NOT ON IT ENOUGH MYSELF.
SO, SO ANYWAYS, THAT'S IT FOR NOW, BUT, UM, AND THEN WE DO HAVE A DEPARTMENT POWERPOINT.
I'D BE HAPPY TO TO GO THROUGH IT WITH YOU.
UM, MOST OF YOU ARE VERY FAMILIAR WITH OUR PROGRAMS, BUT CERTAINLY WE'D BE HAPPY TO TO WALK YOU THROUGH IT.
AND IF ANYONE HAS ANY QUESTIONS, I'LL TRY MY BEST TO ANSWER THEM.
I JUST HAVE A QUICK QUESTION BEFORE WE MOVE ON TO THAT.
IS, UM, I HAVE AN INSURANCE FORM FROM RICHARD FOR HIS VEHICLE AND I'M WONDERING WHO I WOULD TURN THIS INTO TO DOUG.
I'LL GIVE THAT TO HIM FIRST THING IN THE MORNING.
YOU SEE YOUR SCREENS ARE ON, SO WE FIGURED OUT HOW TO USE THAT.
AND SO IN THE FUTURE, WE SHOULD HAVE OUR AGENDA ON HERE AND WE'LL BE, YOU KNOW, UM, STATE OF THE ART WITH OUR AGENDAS AND NOT HAVING TO PRINT OUT SO MUCH PAPER.
SO, UM, AS YOU KNOW, WE HAVE SEVEN DIFFERENT DIVISIONS IN COMMUNITY SERVICES.
WE ARE VERY UNIQUE CUZ MOST COMMUNITY SERVICES DEPARTMENTS, ALSO KNOWN AS PARKS AND RECREATION, UM, DO NOT HAVE THEIR OWN CHILD DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM OR THEIR CHILDREN'S MUSEUM OR EMPLOYMENT AND TRAINING.
UM, AND FACILITY MAINTENANCE IS USUALLY IN PUBLIC WORKS.
SO WE'RE A VERY UNIQUE DEPARTMENT AND, UM, WE'RE A LOT BIGGER THAN MOST OTHER CITY DEPARTMENTS, OTHER CITIES, COMMUNITY SERVICES DEPARTMENTS BECAUSE OF OUR SEVEN DIFFERENT DIVISIONS.
AND OUR BUDGET, AS YOU CAN SEE, IS A MIX OF GENERAL FUND GRANT FUND.
AND THEN WE ALSO HAVE OFFSETTING REVENUE.
AND THAT'S, YOU KNOW, UM, UH, REVENUE BASED, IT'S FEE BASED.
IT'S, UM, UM, GRANTS THROUGH THE STATE.
SO AS YOU CAN SEE, IT'S A VERY DIVERSE MIX OF OUR BUDGET THAT MAKES UP A LITTLE, ALMOST $11 MILLION.
AND THEN IN ADMINISTRATION, WHICH IS ONE OF THE AREAS THAT I, UM, MANAGE, UH, WE HAVE OUR GRAFFITI ABATEMENT PROGRAM.
OUR FACILITY, FACILITY LEASES PROGRAM.
AND JUST FOR THOSE OF YOU THAT MAY NOT BE AWARE, OUR FACILITY LEASES ARE VERY,
[00:30:01]
UM, THEY INCLUDE A LOT OF OUR NONPROFIT GROUPS HERE.AND SO THAT WOULD BE THE BOYS AND GIRLS CLUB LEASE, THE H B I C, THE HELP FOR BRAIN INJURED CHILDREN LEASE THE TENNIS CLUB, LEASE, THE LAHABRA DEPOT LEASE, THE VCC GARY CENTER AND LAHABRA COLLABORATIVE LEASE.
SO IN ADDITION TO OUR OWN CITY BUILDING, CITY HALL, COMMUNITY CENTER, POLICE STATION, CHILDREN'S MUSEUM, WE ALSO MANAGE THE LEASE AGREEMENTS FOR ALL THESE OTHER NONPROFITS THAT CURRENTLY USE OUR CITY BUILDINGS.
AND THEN OBVIOUSLY THE COMMUNITY SERVICES COMMISSION BEAUTIFICATION COMMITTEE.
UM, WE ARE LOOKING FORWARD TO, UM, UH, EXPANDING OUR, OUR PAVER PROGRAM, UM, AS OUR CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION GEAR IS UP RIGHT AFTER THE HOLIDAYS, WE HOPE TO HAVE EVERY EMPTY PAVER OUT THERE FILLED WITH, UM, ALL OF YOU GUYS IF YOU ALREADY HAVE A PAVER.
I KNOW WE HAD A COMMISSION PAVER AT ONE TIME, BUT WE WOULD LOVE TO EXPAND THAT PROGRAM AS PART OF OUR CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION.
AND THEN OF COURSE, WE, UM, MANAGE THE MILITARY BANNER PROGRAM AND THE LIFE IN THE HARA PROGRAM ALONG WITH THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.
AND THEN WE ALSO, AS YOU KNOW, DO A LOT OF SOCIAL SERVICE PROGRAMMING AND, UM, THAT INCLUDES MOST RECENTLY JUST OUR, OUR PARTNERSHIP WITH THE VCC GARY CENTER AND THE LA HARBOR COLLABORATIVE.
UM, AND TO, UM, OFFER THE FOOD DISTRIBUTION PROGRAM.
AND THAT'S EXPANDED TO HYGIENE IS IT'S DIAPERS, IT'S CLOTHING NOW, IT'S OTHER, UH, RESOURCES.
WE HAVE OUR HOMELESS OUTREACH LIAISONS NOW HOUSED DOWN AT THE HILLCREST SITE.
WE HAVE OUR MOBILE UNIT FOR THE READY SET RC PROGRAM DOWN THERE ONCE A MONTH.
SO WE'RE TRYING TO SLOWLY BUILD UP THE RESOURCES THAT ARE AVAILABLE.
WE HAVE A TEAM FROM THE, UM, UH, ORANGE COUNTY HEALTHCARE AGENCY.
IT'S A MENTAL, UM, HEALTH, UM, CRISIS MOBILE UNIT.
AND THEY COME DOWN AND THEY ALSO WORK WITH THE, UM, THE AT RISK, UH, POPULATION TO DO A MENTAL HEALTH INTAKE AND TO HOPEFULLY PROVIDE SERVICES.
AND SO, UM, WE FEEL REALLY GOOD ABOUT OUR PARTNERSHIP THAT'S TAKING PLACE WITH, UM, THESE DIFFERENT GROUPS THAT WE'RE WORKING CLOSELY WITH.
AND THEN WE ALSO, OF COURSE, WORK CLOSELY WITH THE AMERICAN RED CROSS ON OFFERING BLOOD DRIVES ON A, UM, IT WAS A MONTHLY BASIS.
AND THEN WE ALSO WORK WITH 'EM IN TIMES OF CRISIS.
I, I THINK MOST OF YOU'RE AWARE, THERE WAS A, A RECENT FIRE LAST MONTH AND THERE WERE FOUR FAMILIES THAT WERE DISPLACED.
AND THEY ACTUALLY CAME HERE INTO THE COMMUNITY CENTER AT ABOUT SIX 30 AT NIGHT.
AND, UM, THE RED CROSS WAS CALLED AND HELPED PROVIDE RESOURCES FOR THEM.
WE, UM, FOUND THEM, UM, TEMPORARY HOUSING AT HOTELS AND MOTELS.
SCOTT'S GROUP CAME IN AND HELPED US.
THERE WERE SOME CHILDREN THAT NEEDED DIAPERS AND CLOTHING AND SO IT WAS A GROUP EFFORT.
AND SO WE WORKED CLOSELY WITH THE RED CROSS.
AND THEN OF COURSE, THE HOLIDAY WAS JUST PROGRAM THAT WE CONTINUE TO OFFER, UM, IS ALSO PART OF OUR SOCIAL SERVICE PROGRAMS. AND THEN OUR, OUR COMMUNITY, SOMEBODY, I'M SORRY, WAS JUST THERE WHEN THEY SHOWED UP AT SIX 30.
PARDON ME? SOMEBODY WAS AT THE COMMUNITY CENTER? OR HOW DO, HOW DO THEY CONTACT SOMEBODY IF THERE'S A CRISIS AFTER HOURS? WE GOT A CALL FROM THE POLICE DEPARTMENT.
THEY CALL OUR CITY CELL PHONES.
I WAS ON THE FREEWAY GOING HOME AND I TURNED BACK AROUND.
AND KATIE WAS STILL HAPPENED TO BE AT WORK.
WE DIDN'T GET HOME UNTIL ALMOST MIDNIGHT.
I MEAN, THAT'S AMAZING THAT YOU THAT YEAH, NO, THAT'S WHAT WE DO FITS IN THAT WAY.
WE'RE, WE'RE HERE FOR THE COMMUNITY AND WE SERVE THE COMMUNITY AND, UM, WE WERE, YOU KNOW, HAPPY THAT THEY COULD ALL GET SOME SUPPORT AND SERVICES.
AND IT'S DIFFICULT THOUGH, BECAUSE SOME OF THEM, IT WAS JUST HARD FOR THEM TO, AFTER THEIR VOUCHERS RAN OUT, YOU KNOW, WE HAD TO PROVIDE SOME OTHER SERVICES FOR THEM.
AND SO IT'S A BUSY BUILDING FOR SURE.
AND THEN, AS I MENTIONED EARLIER, OUR COMMUNITY OUTREACH LIAISONS ARE NOW HOUSED DOWN AT THE HILLCREST, UM, UH, SITE OFF OF HILLCREST.
AND, UM, THEY'RE DOING A REALLY GREAT JOB WITH WORKING IN THE COMMUNITY.
HOPEFULLY YOU SEE THEM AROUND, THEY HAVE THEIR STAFF SHIRTS TO IDENTIFY THEM.
THEY'RE DRIVING A CITY VEHICLE, A CITY TRUCK.
AND WE'VE HAD, UM, 45 PLACEMENTS, UM, IN TEMPORARY, UH, HOMELESS SHELTERS.
AND, UM, FOR THE MOST PART, I THINK THEY GAVE ME A NUMBER OF 80% BEING, UM, RETENTION OF STAYING IN THE SHELTER.
AND THEN OF COURSE, THEY HAVE A 20% LEAVE OR, UM, YOU KNOW, THEY, THEY HAVE BEEN ASKED TO LEAVE THE PROGRAM CAUSE THEY'RE NOT FOLLOWING THE, SO I MEAN, WE'RE REALLY GOOD ABOUT THAT NUMBER.
OF COURSE, WE WISH WE COULD SERVE MORE, BUT WE'RE ALSO, UM, UH, THE SHELTERS ARE AT CAPACITY OFTENTIMES.
AND SO IT'S ONLY, UM, YOU KNOW, WHAT'S AVAILABLE TO LAHABRA.
[00:35:01]
UH, THE BUENA PARK NAVIGATION CENTER AND, UH, THE PLACE, UH, NAVIGATION CENTER.AND SO WE GET A PERCENTAGE OF BEDS.
THE UNFORTUNATE PART IS, UH, YOU KNOW, THERE'S COVID OUT THERE STILL.
THERE'S OTHER, UM, HEALTH ISSUES THAT SOMETIMES THE, THE SHELTERS ARE CLOSED OR LOCKED DOWN.
SO IF THERE'S A COVID OUTBREAK OR A, UM, OR AN EXPOSURE, THEN THEY WILL NOT TAKE ANY OUTSIDE PEOPLE IN.
AND THAT'S LIKE A TWO WEEK PROCESS AS YOU KNOW, UNTIL, UM, EVERYONE'S BEEN QUARANTINED.
AND, UM, AND THEN THEY ALSO SOMETIMES WILL HAVE TO OPERATE AT A REDUCED CAPACITY BECAUSE OF COVID.
SO WE HOPE THAT THAT'S NOT A HUGE IMPACT.
THIS, THIS, YOU KNOW, AS THE WINTER MONTHS COME UP.
AND SO WE'RE TRYING TO PREPARE AND, UM, LOOK INTO HOTEL VOUCHERS AND THINGS OF THAT SORT.
AND, BUT WE REALLY DON'T WANT TO TRY TO DO THAT BECAUSE WE, WE LEARNED THAT THAT JUST KIND OF OPENS UP THE DOOR FOR SOME ACTIVITIES THAT WE DON'T WANNA SUPPORT, YOU KNOW, UM, WHEN SOME OF THEM GET A HOTEL VOUCHER, THEN IT, THEY INVITE THEIR FRIENDS AND THEN, YOU KNOW, IT BECOMES JUST A LITTLE BIT PROBLEMATIC.
SO WE'RE TRYING TO REALLY STAY WITH THE, THE SHELTERS.
AND THEN AS WE'VE TALKED ABOUT IN THE PAST, UM, OR, OR AT OUR LAST MEETING, THE READY SET, OUR C PROGRAM IS IN FULL SWING.
WE'RE REALLY TRYING TO REACH OUR TARGET OF 600 NEW ENROLLMENTS.
SO WE DO FEEL GOOD ABOUT THAT.
WE JUST HAD OUR FIRST QUARTER, UH, PERFORMANCE MEETING WITH THE COUNTY, BUT WE STILL ARE NOT WHERE WE NEED TO BE.
AND SO AGAIN, WE'RE REACHING OUT TO ANYONE AND EVERYONE THAT MIGHT HAVE ANY SORT OF, UM, CONNECTION TO A YOUTH OR A FAMILY MEMBER OR A NEIGHBOR THAT, UM, MIGHT BE EXPERIENCING CHALLENGING TIMES.
THAT'S BETWEEN 14 AND 24 THAT WE COULD HELP SERVE.
UM, THEY OBVIOUSLY HAVE TO, YOU KNOW, MEET OUR ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA, BUT, UM, USUALLY THERE'S A WAY TO, TO FIND, UM, FIND HELP FOR THEM.
AND THEN OF COURSE, COMMUNITY SERVICES, RECREATION, WHICH MOST OF YOU'RE VERY FAMILIAR WITH.
UM, AS YOU CAN SEE, THESE ARE PICTURES FROM OUR LOVE THE HARBOR DAY, CONCERTS IN THE PARK, MOVIES IN THE PARK, SPLASH PADS, OUR MINI SPORTS.
AND, UM, AGAIN, JUST SOME MORE PICTURES.
AND THEN THERE'S A LITTLE MATRIX, UH, TO THE RIGHT SIDE THAT GIVES JUST SOME, UM, NUMBERS, STATISTICS THAT WE HAVE BASED ON OUR CALCULATIONS,
SO WE DO OFFER A LOT OF DIFFERENT ACTIVITIES.
WE DO SERVE A LOT OF RESIDENTS HERE IN THE COMMUNITY AND SURROUNDING CITIES.
AND LET ME KNOW IF ANYONE HAS ANY QUESTIONS.
IT WAS, I WISH WE COULD BUILD LIKE FIVE MORE
AND THEN OF COURSE OUR SPECIAL EVENTS.
AGAIN, YOU'RE VERY FAMILIAR WITH OUR SPECIAL EVENTS.
UH, EASTER GAN
AND IN OUR SENIOR PROGRAMS ARE DOING REALLY WELL.
NOW THAT WE'RE ABLE TO BE BACK IN PERSON, WE FEEL REALLY THANKFUL THAT WE CAN INVITE OUR SENIORS BACK TO THE COMMUNITY CENTER.
OF COURSE, IT WAS VERY ROUGH FOR THEM OVER THE PAST COUPLE YEARS WITH C A LOT OF THEM WERE VERY ISOLATED.
AND SO WE'RE THRILLED TO BE ABLE TO BE BACK IN PERSON.
WE HAVE SOME GENEROUS FUNDING FROM THE LAHABRA HOST LIONS CLUB.
THEY GAVE US A GENEROUS DONATION LAST WEEK.
I THINK I WENT TO THE CAL THE MEETING.
ACTUALLY I DID NOT SEE MARIE OR GABBY THERE.
AND SO THEY GAVE A GENEROUS DONATION OF $17,000 TOWARDS SENIOR PROGRAMS. WOW.
AND THE YEAR BEFORE IT WAS OVER 20,000.
SO THAT'S A NICE, UM, UH, DONATION WHERE WE NOW HAVE LION'S LUNCHES ON FRIDAYS.
WE HAVE THAT CATERED, OR WE ACTUALLY HAVE CITY STAFF THAT MAKE THEIR LUNCH AND THEY, THEY'RE GETTING KIND OF SPOILED BECAUSE THEN THEY HAVE THEIR REGULAR ORANGE COUNTY MEALS ON WHEELS PROGRAM LUNCH.
AND SO THEY CERTAINLY, LIKE THE FRIDAY LUNCH IS BETTER CUZ IT'S, IT'S A LOT.
IT'S NOT AS MAYBE HEALTHY AS AS THE OTHER MENU, UM, THAT THE COUNTY SERVES.
BUT, UM, WE HAVE DANCES ONCE A MONTH THAT ARE HOSTED BY THE LA HARBOR HOST LIONS.
AND THEN OF COURSE WE HAVE MORE EXERCISE CLASSES MORE THAN EVER.
WE HAVE, UM, SOME DAY TRIPS THAT WE TAKE 'EM ON AND WE HAVE GAMES.
AND SO IT'S, AND WE HAVE MOVIE, MOVIE MORNING ON THURSDAYS WITH POPCORN.
SO IT'S BEEN A REALLY GREAT, UM, PAST YEAR HAVING THEM BACK IN PERSON.
UM, IF I REMEMBER CORRECTLY, THE DONATION WAS AS A RESULT OF THE PASTA.
AND SOMETIMES IT KIND OF, UH, ENCOURAGES US TO ATTEND WHEN WE KNOW THE FRUIT OR WE SEE THE FRUIT OF HOW MANY SENIORS ARE ACTUALLY BEING ABLE TO BE TOUCHED JUST BY US ATTENDING A FUNDRAISER.
SO THAT'S A GREAT POINT, MARIE.
YEAH, THEY, THEY DO OFFER, THEY HOST THE PASTA FEST EVERY SUMMER AND THAT'S A FINE EVENT.
IF ANY OF YOU HAVE NOT BEEN, I ENCOURAGE YOU
[00:40:01]
TO GO AND THEY HAVE A LOT OF FUN AND ALL THE PROCEEDS TO GO BACK TO OUR CITY OF LAHABRA SENIOR AND SOCIAL SERVICE PROGRAMS. SO THANK YOU.AND THEN THE CHILDREN'S MUSEUM.
I THINK EVERYONE HERE HAS BEEN TO THE CHILDREN'S MUSEUM.
AND AGAIN, WE'RE GONNA HAVE OUR HOLIDAY WISHES PROGRAM, UM, DISTRIBUTION DAY THERE.
BUT THIS, UM, PROGRAM IS NEAR AND DEAR TO MY HEART.
I WAS AT THE CHILDREN'S MUSEUM FOR NINE YEARS AS THEIR, UM, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR.
SO THEY CONTINUE TO DO GREAT THINGS HERE IN THE COMMUNITY.
THEY'VE DONE A LOT OF RENOVATING OVER, UM, IN THEIR EXHIBIT SPACES.
THEY HAVE A BRAND NEW CENTENNIAL FARMS EXHIBIT, STATE OF THE ART.
AND SO, UM, AS USUAL, THEY, THEY ARE, UM, FUNDRAISING TO, UH, RENOVATE THE REST OF THE MUSEUM.
AND SO, UM, THEY'VE ALSO INCREASED THEIR PROGRAMMING.
NOW THAT WE'RE BACK IN PERSON, UM, WE REALIZE AGAIN HOW MUCH FAMILIES NEEDED TO GET OUT AND TO BE TOGETHER AND TO SOCIALIZE.
AND, UM, FOR THOSE OF YOU THAT DON'T KNOW THIS, THE MUSEUM OPERATES AS AN ENTERPRISE FUND.
SO THEY ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR RAISING ALL OF THEIR, COVERING ALL OF THEIR EXPENSES.
AND, UM, THERE IS SOME, SOME CITY IN-KIND SUPPORT, BUT THERE'S NO GENERAL FUND MONEY THAT GOES TOWARDS THE CHILDREN'S MUSEUM.
SO THEY OPERATE AS A BUSINESS.
AND SO THAT'S WHY FUNDRAISING AND, UM, YOU KNOW, GRANTS AND DONATIONS IS SO IMPORTANT FOR THEIR LIVELIHOOD.
AND THEN WE HAVE OUR CHILD DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM, WHICH YOU ARE ALL AWARE OF AS WELL.
AGAIN, WE'RE HAPPY TO BE BACK IN PERSON.
UM, WE HAVE FOUR DIFFERENT SITES.
UM, WE HAVE THE MAIN OFFICE, WHICH IS RIGHT HERE ON THE EUCLID.
WE HAVE TWO SITES, UM, AT OFF OF EUCLID BY THE CHILDREN'S MUSEUM, THE ANTENNA CENTER.
AND THEN WE HAVE ANOTHER SITE, UH, OVER AT LA BONITA PARK RIGHT OFF OF WOODIER BOULEVARD.
ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT CHILD DEVELOPMENT? GONNA MAKE ONE MORE COMMENT.
UH, WE'RE SELLING TICKETS IN FOR THE CORN FESTIVAL IN THE OFFICE AND A LADY CAME IN WITH HER LITTLE BOY AND HE GOES TO THE SCHOOL RIGHT BY THE I TENS.
AND THEY WERE, THEY SPOKE SO HIGHLY OF THE PROGRAM.
SHE HAD ALSO, THAT SAME CHILD HAD ALSO ATTENDED THE SCHOOL ON WHITTIER BOULEVARD BY THE TACO BELL.
AND SO HE'S PROMOTING AND HE'S GROWING AND SHE SAID THEY JUST LOVE THE PROGRAM SPOKE.
SO HE'S IN THE SCHOOL AGE PROGRAM NOW? YES.
SO THAT WAS, THAT WAS NICE TO HEAR.
AND JUST, I DON'T KNOW IF YOU NOTICED, THEY ARE MORE OUT IN THE COMMUNITY THESE DAYS.
THEY'RE TRYING TO DO MORE OUTREACH AND RECRUITMENT, BUT ALSO WE'RE TRYING TO LET THE FAMILIES KNOW THAT RIGHT HERE IN YOUR OWN CITY, THERE'S A LOT OF FUN ACTIVITIES, FREE ACTIVITIES, THERE'S A LOT OF RESOURCES.
THEY PARTICIPATED IN, THEY ARE PARTICIPATING AGAIN IN THE, UH, CORN FESTIVAL PARADE.
THEY WERE AT THE COMMUNITY OPEN HOUSE, YOU CAN SEE THEIR BOOTH HERE.
THEY ALSO WERE AT THE TREE LIGHTING CEREMONY LAST YEAR AND THEY PERFORMED AND WE SAW HUNDREDS OF KIDS OUT THERE.
THAT WAS OUR OWN PRESCHOOL PROGRAM.
AND THEN WE HAVE OUR FACILITY MAINTENANCE DIVISION.
AND I MENTIONED THE OTHER NIGHT AT THE COUNCIL MEETING THAT THEY ARE A SMALL BUT MIGHTY GROUP OF THREE FULL TIME, UH, EMPLOYEES.
AND THEY HAVE A LOT OF RESPONSIBILITY.
I MEAN, OF COURSE MAINTAINING OUR CITY BUILDINGS TO ENSURE THAT WE'RE OPERATING SAFELY AND EFFICIENTLY WITH, YOU KNOW, ALL OF THE PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE THAT IS REQUIRED.
AND UH, YOU KNOW, AS YOU CAN IMAGINE, THINGS HAPPEN, RIGHT.
YOU KNOW, WHETHER, WHETHER IT'S FLOODING, UM, THERE'S DAMAGE TO SOMETHING.
WE HAD A WHOLE ELEVATOR ISSUE IN THIS BUILDING A COUPLE YEARS AGO AND, YOU KNOW, A NEW CHEF HAD TO BE PUT IN.
SO THEY'RE RESPONSIBLE FOR A LOT OF DIFFERENT PRO PROJECTS, YOU KNOW, TO HELP MAINTAIN OUR BUILDINGS AND TO KEEP US ALL SAFE SO THAT WE CAN OPERATE AND CONDUCT CITY BUSINESS.
AND THEN AGAIN, UM, YOU'RE FAMILIAR WITH A LOT OF THESE PROGRAMS THAT WE'VE ALREADY TALKED ABOUT, BUT YOU KNOW, WE HAVE A LOT GOING ON, A LOT TO STILL DO.
AND THESE ARE SOME UPCOMING EXCITING PROJECTS.
AND WE'VE TALKED BRIEFLY ABOUT SOME OF THEM, BUT WE'VE TALKED A LOT ABOUT, UM, THE WOMEN'S CLUB AND THE ART ASSOCIATION.
RELOCATING TO THE ELECTRONICS BUILDING, WHICH IS RIGHT HERE ACROSS THE STREET.
AND WE ARE GONNA REPURPOSE THE EXPANSION BUILDING, UM, RIGHT NEXT TO THE COMMUNITY CENTER.
WE ARE LOOKING AT, AT DOING A SMALL, UM, DEDICATED SENIOR SPACE.
SO, UM, THAT, THAT'S THE INTENTION THERE.
WE'RE GONNA REIMAGINE THE HISTORICAL SOCIETY SLASH MUSEUM AND MOVE THEM OVER TO THE CHIROPRACTIC BUILDING THAT THE CITY RECENTLY PURCHASED.
AND SO THEY WILL HAVE HALF OF THAT BUILDING.
UM, THE CITY WILL TAKE OVER THE OPERATIONS OF THE HISTORICAL MUSEUM WILL STILL CERTAINLY RECRUIT FOR DOCENTS AND VOLUNTEERS, BUT, UM, WE BELIEVE IT'LL BE A NICE COMPLIMENT TO THE CHILDREN'S MUSEUM ALREADY THERE.
[00:45:01]
CLUB WILL BE ACROSS THE STREET, THE ART ASSOCIATION AND WILL BE CREATING MORE OF A CULTURAL, UM, UH, BUSINESS DISTRICT, UM, WALKABLE AREA.SO WE LOOK FORWARD TO HAVING THIS ALL IN PLACE BEFORE THE CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION.
SO THAT'S A LOT OF LOT GOING ON.
AND THEN, UM, WE'RE GOING TO ALSO, UH, CREATE SOME EXHIBIT SPACE FOR THE HISTORICAL MUSEUM HERE AT CITY HALL.
WE HAVE, YOU KNOW, THESE BIG, UM, LOBBY ENTRANCE AREAS AND KIND OF TEASER, UH, MATERIALS TO LET THEM KNOW THAT HEY, RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET IS OUR HISTORICAL MUSEUM, UH, OUR CHILDREN'S MUSEUM, THE ART ASSOCIATION.
SO AGAIN, IT'LL BE KIND OF A ROTATING SPACE.
UM, AND ALSO HIGHLIGHT SOME LOCAL ARTISTS FROM THE ART ASSOCIATION.
SO WE'RE LOOKING FORWARD TO GETTING THAT PROGRAM OFF THE GROUND.
AND THEN WE'RE ALSO RENOVATING OUR COMMUNITY CENTER GROUND BALLROOM AS YOU'VE ALL BEEN IN THERE FOR SEVERAL EVENTS.
IT NEEDS A LITTLE TLC, IT'S A LITTLE DATED.
NO ONE, YOU KNOW, REALLY PURPLE'S NOT THE POPULAR COLOR ANYMORE.
SO WE'RE REALLY GONNA LIGHTEN UP THAT SPACE.
WE'RE GONNA PUT FLOORING IN, UM, GO IN MORE NEUTRAL GRAY TONES AND SO MAKE IT A LITTLE BIT MORE, UM, DESIRABLE FOR WEDDINGS AND OTHER, UH, PARTIES.
CUZ I CAN'T TELL YOU HOW MANY PEOPLE SAY, WELL, YOU KNOW, THESE CHAIRS JUST ARE NOT, THEY DON'T GO WITH THE COLOR THAT WE WANNA HAVE.
AND SO THEY HAVE TO BRING IN THEIR OWN CHAIRS AND WE WANNA KIND OF IMPROVE SOME OF THOSE, UM, RENTAL, UM, OPTIONS.
AND SO WE'LL START THAT PROJECT IN JANUARY.
AND THEN, AS I MENTIONED, OUR HUNDREDS CELEBRATION, UM, CENTENNIAL KICKOFF.
AND WE'RE GONNA BE WORKING WITH COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT ON A BUS BENCH ART CONTEST.
AS YOU NOTICE, SOME OF OUR SHELTERS NEED A LITTLE, UM, EXTRA LOVE.
UH, THEY'RE A LITTLE OUTDATED WITH THE MATERIAL THAT'S IN THEM.
AND SO WE'RE GOING TO BE, UM, DOING AN ART CONTEST AND REDOING ALL THE BUS SHELTERS.
WE'RE LOOKING AT POTENTIALLY DOING A COMPLETE WRAP AROUND, UM, I KNOW THAT'S REALLY POPULAR ON THE UTILITY BOXES AND WE'RE LEARNING THAT YOU CAN ACTUALLY DO IT ON SOME OF THESE BUS SHELTER, UM, STRUCTURES WHERE IT'S A COMPLETE WRAPPED ART.
UM, YOU KNOW, I MEAN THERE'S ARTWORK AND THEN IT GETS CONVERTED INTO THIS WRAP.
SO I THINK IT'LL LOOK REALLY GREAT TO HAVE A LOT OF COLOR THROUGHOUT THE CITY, HAVE IT POP, HIGHLIGHT, YOU KNOW, LOCAL KIDS ART.
AND THEN ALSO LASTLY IS THE BOXING CLUB REHABILITATION.
UM, THAT BUILDING IS EMPTY RIGHT NOW AND IS USED AS STORAGE, BUT AS YOU KNOW, THE BOXING CLUB LEFT US DURING COVID AND UM, WE WOULD LIKE TO GET IT THROUGH A STANDARD WHERE WE CAN OPERATE SAFELY AND OFFER COMMUNITY, UH, CLASSES, UH, RESOURCE CLASSES, WORKSHOPS, AND CONSIDER IT A SATELLITE COMMUNITY CENTER, UM, SITE.
SO WE'RE LOOKING FORWARD TO GETTING SOME, UM, UH, BIDS AND AND QUOTES TO SEE WHAT IT WOULD TAKE TO BRING IT UP TO MM-HMM.
UM, SO ISN'T THAT BEING USED FOR STORAGE RIGHT NOW FOR THE COLLABORATIVE? IT IS AND FOR MY PROGRAM'S HOLIDAY WISHES.
SO WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO THAT? WELL, WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO CLEAN OUT AND I MEAN, SCOTT'S ON BOARD WITH OUR, OUR, UM, DESIRE TO USE IT.
WE'RE, WE'RE WORKING ON IT SO THAT HE CAN HELP MANAGE AND RUN PROGRAMS OUT OF THERE.
BECAUSE WHEN I SAW IT, IT WAS PACKED.
AND SO WE ARE, WE DO REALIZE THAT STORAGE IS AN ISSUE AND SO IF IT MEANS, YOU KNOW, HAVING TO LOOK INTO A POD TYPE OF STRUCTURE OR, OR CONTAINER.
UM, BUT WE'RE DEFINITELY RUNNING OUT OF SPACE, BUT WE, WE ALSO KNOW WE NEED TO CLEAN OUT A LOT OF STUFF THAT WE HAVE AS WELL.
KIM, WHEN WE TOOK THAT, UM, LITTLE FIELD TRIP THAT WE DID TO SEE ALL THE LITTLE BUILDINGS THAT THE CITY SERVICES IS, UM, THAT THAT, WAS THAT A CHURCH AT ONE POINT THAT MM-HMM.
IT, IT WAS OKAY CUZ IT WAS EMPTY.
IT'S NOT, I MEAN IT'S CONSIDERED HISTORICAL, BUT IT'S NOT ON THE REGISTRY.
BUT IT IS A, YOU KNOW, A PRETTY SIGNIFICANT HISTORICAL BUILDING.
HAS THE CITY EVER ENVISIONED A, I DON'T KNOW, SOUTHSIDE RECREATION CENTER FOR THERE? NOT SINCE IT'S NOT RE RECORDED.
I MEAN PEOPLE HAVE A LOT OF EMOTIONAL CONNECTIONS TO IT.
I, WHEN WE DID THAT TOUR, BUT MM-HMM.
SO EITHER WE WILL, YOU KNOW, USE THE EXISTING BUILDING STRUCTURE AND, YOU KNOW, GO IN AND, AND YOU KNOW, DO SOME REINFORCEMENTS AND, AND GET IT TO A PLACE WHERE WE CAN OPERATE AND USE IT, UM, FOR, YOU KNOW, AS A COMMUNITY ROOM OR COMMUNITY SPACE.
BUT THAT'S OUR, OUR VISION IS TO, TO DO MORE PROGRAMMING DOWN THERE FOR SURE.
I KNOW I TALKED FAST AND, AND UM, YOU KNOW, YOU'RE FAMILIAR WITH A LOT OF THIS INFORMATION, BUT WE DID PRESENT THIS TO THE CITY COUNCIL, SO MARIE GOT TO HEAR IT AGAIN.
WEEK IS THAT ON HERE? THAT'S NOT ON OUR CALENDAR.
OUR UH, SENIOR WEEK STARTS ON NOVEMBER 14TH AND ENDS ON FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 18TH
[00:50:01]
WITH A HEALTH FAIR NEXT FRIDAY AT THE COMMUNITY CENTER.SO ALL WEEK LONG THERE ARE DIFFERENT ACTIVITIES THAT WILL TAKE PLACE AT THE COMMUNITY CENTER AND AT DIFFERENT LOCATIONS THROUGHOUT THE CITY.
I CAN ACTUALLY SEND YOU GUYS A FLYER ON THAT.
LASTLY, I WILL SAY, AND THIS WILL HELP ME GET MORE ORGANIZED, IS WE ARE UM, HOPEFULLY NEXT WEEK GONNA MAKE AN OFFER FOR A MANAGEMENT ANALYST POSITION.
WE'VE HAD SECOND INTERVIEWS AND SO WE HOPE TO GET THAT PERSON ON BOARD AFTER THE NEW YEAR AND THAT PERSON WILL HELP ME OUT, HELP KATIE OUT, UM, WITH A LOT OF SPECIAL ASSIGNMENTS.
SO WE LOOK FORWARD TO INTRODUCING THE WHO THEY ARE, UM, IN THE NEAR FUTURE.
AND THAT'S ALL I HAVE UNLESS ANYONE HAS ANY QUESTIONS.
YOU RUN A LOT OF PROGRAMS. YOU GUYS DO.
UM, SO MOVING RIGHT ALONG KIND OF WAS ENTRANCED BY ALL YOUR LITTLE PLEASANT THINGS THAT YOU HAD TO OFFER MY GLASSES BACK.
THERE ARE NO COMMENTS FROM STAFF.
SO WE CAN MOVE TO COMMISSIONER COMMENTS, NO STAFF COMMENTS.
WOULD THE, UM, CONSIDERATION ON COMMUNITY SPECIAL EVENTS.
SO DO THE COMMISSIONERS, DO YOU HAVE ANY COMMENTS TO MAKE OR HAVE ANY SUGGESTIONS YOU'D LIKE? NO.
THERE, I JUST WANNA SAY THANK YOU FOR WORKING SO HARD ON GETTING THE CORN FESTIVAL CAR
THANK YOU RICHARD FOR VOLUNTEERING.
I THINK IT'S GONNA BE A FUN DAY.
OKAY, SO VICTOR DID SAY YOU'RE NUMBER 47 AS OF RIGHT NOW.
AND THEN HE SAID THAT THE LINEUP, THIS DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE, BUT I'LL JUST TELL YOU WHAT IT SAYS.
IDAHO STREET BEHIND BLACK BEAR DINER AND IN FRONT OF HEART ACADEMY DANCE.
IS THAT EVEN POSSIBLE? NO, THAT'S TWO TOTALLY.
WHAT? THAT DOES NOT MAKE SENSE.
SO YOU'RE ON IDAHO, THERE'S ON IDAHO, RIGHT? YEAH.
DANCE ACADEMY IS RIGHT ON, ON LAHABRA BOULEVARD.
AND SO THAT BIRD DINER IS WAIT, WHERE I'M NO, THE LINE, A PARADE LINE STARTS AT OLG.
YEAH, BUT SOMETIMES IT'S, THERE'S SOME ON THIS STREET AND THEN THERE'S SOME ON THIS STREET.
CAUSE I KNOW ON, I'M USUALLY ON LAHABRA AND THEN THERE WERE SOME CARS THAT WERE IN THE PARKING LOT OF OG.
SO IT'S LIKE, OKAY, WELL, WHERE, HOW DO YOU KNOW, FIGURE OUT WHERE YOU ARE? YEAH.
THEY SHOULD ALL BE STARTING IN THE PARKING LOT OF OG AS WELL.
AND THEN, UM, WHAT TIME DO YOU NEED TO GET THE CAR? THERE WOULD BE THE NEXT QUESTION.
SO THAT IS THE NEXT QUESTION IS, SO WHAT TIME WOULD THEY NEED THE CAR THERE? BECAUSE THEY'RE GONNA START BLOCKING OFF THE STREETS.
UM, I, I WOULD HAVE TO REACH OUT TO DOUG.
I I JUST DON'T HAVE THOSE DETAILS, YOU KNOW, I'M GONNA TALK TO I BY NOW.
AND DO THEY HAVE A MAP, MARIE, WHERE ALL THE, UM, PARTICIPANTS IN THE PARADE ARE TO PARK THEIR CARS OR, SO YOU'LL BE PARKING YOUR CAR EITHER HERE AT CITY HALL AND THEN WE'LL BE SHUTTLING EVERYONE DOWN TO OLG TO THE START OF THE PARADE ROUTE.
AND THEN YOU'LL BE DROPPED OFF, OFF OF CYPRESS.
SO WE WILL HAVE SOME SHUTTLES TO BRING YOU BACK TO CITY HALL OR YOU CAN WALK BACK.
I WILL SAY EVERYONE NEEDS TO VACATE THIS PARKING LOT ON SATURDAY AT NOON BECAUSE WE HAVE A FACILITY RENTAL IN HERE.
IT'S, IT'S A LITTLE PROBLEMATIC, BUT WHEN THE DATE WAS CHANGED SEVERAL TIMES, BY THE TIME WE LANDED ON A DATE, WE TOLD THE LINES AHEAD OF TIME THAT WE HAD A COUPLE RENTALS HERE AND AT THE COMMUNITY CENTER.
SO WE WILL HAVE A SECURITY GARDEN HERE AND THEY'LL BE SIGNING SAYING THAT THERE'S NO PARKING THE AFTERNOON AFTER 12 ON SATURDAY.
UM, OKAY, SO I'M JUST GONNA ASK THEN FOR THE, THE RUNDOWN BECAUSE I WANNA MAKE SURE THAT RICHARD HAS IT STRAIGHT CUZ HE'S GONNA BE THE ONE THAT'S BRINGING IN THE CAR.
AND I CAN, I'LL TRY TO REACH OUT TO HIM AS WELL.
WHERE DO I GO? RICHARD, ARE YOU DRIVING TOO WITH THE DRIVER? YEAH, YEAH, YEAH.

UM, I LOOK, PASS IT ALONG OR IF YOU SEE IT ON FACEBOOK, JUST KIND OF SHARE.
REALLY TRYING TO DRIVE THE DOLLARS TO STAY IN LAHABRA.
AND THEN RUBY REDS WE'RE DOING A LUNCH MOB ON THE 16TH AND UM, THEY FINALLY DID GET THEIR APPROVAL FROM PLANNING, UH, TO EXPAND, BUT WE GOT TIRED OF WAITING, SO WE'RE JUST DOING THE LUNCH MOB ANYWAY.
AND THEN EVENTUALLY THE FIRST OF THE YEAR OR WHENEVER, WE'LL GO AHEAD AND, UM, TRY DOING THAT.
ARE THEY GOING INTO THE BUILDING NEXT TO THEM? YES.
SO THEY'LL BE GROWING, GOING ON IMPERIAL.
YEAH, SO IT'S THE 16TH ON AT 1130.
OH, SPEAKING OF LUNCH, UM, EVERYONE GOT THEIR INVITE TO THE EMPLOYEE THANKSGIVING LUNCH THAT BENEFITS THE HOLIDAY WISHES PROGRAM? NO, I DIDN'T.

I DON'T KNOW HOW IT GOT THERE, SO THAT'S CRAZY.
OH, YOU KNOW, I SENT YOU THE PORN FESTIVAL INVITE.
UM, YEAH, I GOT AN ERROR ON MY CITY EMAIL.
YOU DON'T USE IT ENOUGH? I I RUN IT ALL THE TIME.
I, WHEN I GO TO MY MAIL IT JUST RUNS TO SEE IF THERE'S ANYTHING THERE.
BUT IT LOOKS LIKE IT STOPPED DOING, I GOT MORE EMAILS TO THE TECH THAN I DO EMAILS FROM THE CITY.
I WILL, UM, I'LL RESEND IT TOMORROW MORNING.
I'M, I HAVE IT ON MY CALENDAR AND I DON'T KNOW HOW I GOT IT THERE.
I MUST HAVE
