[0:13] prob with little two little kids they

[0:16] got everything and

[0:19] [Laughter]

[0:39] like to call to Connected city council

[0:41] committee meeting for special committee

[0:43] meeting for Friday December 27 2024 we

[0:46] have one committee that we um for order

[0:50] I'll turn over to Mr

[0:51] M thank you madam president I'd like to

[0:54] call the finance committee to order on

[0:56] the four item is discussing amending

[0:59] resolution

[1:00] number 2022 d224 to modify the amount of

[1:05] funds for Coco

[1:09] house well um M she originally sent

[1:15] consent attached to it so I know Mr want

[1:18] to bring it back to committee let you

[1:19] move forward yeah the reason why we want

[1:21] to bring back to committee so that we

[1:24] get an update from Miss far so where we

[1:27] are and in terms of

[1:30] um the modification how much we can take

[1:34] back from Coco house and why are we

[1:36] taking it

[1:38] back well I think that's a good evening

[1:41] city council hey why we can take it

[1:44] back I was hoping that you had a little

[1:47] bit more direct questions for me but

[1:50] what I will say is that the department

[1:52] of development um our community

[1:54] development supervisor make you could

[1:56] come up and join me is here with me um I

[1:59] was able to look at the last council

[2:01] meeting and I want um city council to

[2:04] know that anytime the department of

[2:06] development planning comes with the

[2:08] recommendation and my team um has done

[2:10] our new diligence and we based our

[2:13] recommendation how we got our

[2:15] recommendation is very simple one

[2:17] performance two reporting and three

[2:21] spending and when asked the question are

[2:24] there any sub recipients that we have

[2:26] concerns about spending the funding C

[2:30] house is a concern year to dat they went

[2:33] into contract in March of

[2:36] 2024 and they spent roughly

[2:41] $3,742 of2 200,000 that was allocated

[2:45] for their first year

[2:48] salaries my staff my team has spent

[2:51] significant

[2:53] time with Coco house leadership walking

[2:56] them through the terms of their contract

[3:00] on several occasions the arer contract

[3:03] says that we would do some things as a

[3:05] city and we've done that we've done

[3:08] program project monitoring we've done a

[3:10] desk review we've done an

[3:13] onsite review and then each one of those

[3:16] we have stressed the concern of spending

[3:18] down your allocated funds for

[3:23] salar um MCH has some information that

[3:25] he can share you have I think direct

[3:27] questions is more what do you want to

[3:30] know um is the easier way and then we

[3:32] can give you the facts this isn't based

[3:35] off of what C house does in the

[3:38] community me my department agrees with

[3:41] the admission statement but it is my job

[3:44] as a director of development to make

[3:45] sure that we are being fiscally

[3:47] responsible when we make a

[3:48] recommendation in regards to how this

[3:51] money is going to be spent in a timely

[3:53] manner to keep us in

[3:57] compartment so um I I know meeting on

[4:00] Monday but um had to watch it so I think

[4:04] some of the concerns proba around not

[4:07] moving forward on Monday was the fact

[4:09] that uh the executive director did come

[4:12] and seem to express some level of

[4:15] confusion about what was going

[4:22] on

[4:25] yeah why do have to because it's not an

[4:28] ex it's a public meeting

[4:30] but it's not closed it's it's for the

[4:33] sound people want to walk in they can

[4:35] walk

[4:40] in I think

[4:44] so anyway as I was saying the executive

[4:47] director did come and speak to the C and

[4:49] express some concern felt like um they

[4:52] didn't receive all the information that

[4:53] they needed um and so therefore that was

[4:57] they felt also that they du they got it

[5:01] at a very late date and so therefore

[5:04] that was why they hadn't spended the

[5:06] money as as agreed to in their cont but

[5:09] we want to ride

[5:11] that so I started working with mras in

[5:15] mayor June of this year after I started

[5:19] April

[5:20] 15 here from the nonprofit side and you

[5:25] know originally our interaction started

[5:27] with closing out cdb to Grand

[5:29] construction work the CFO was located in

[5:33] California you know the board member who

[5:35] was acting as the CFO and he was you

[5:37] know once they reached out to to him Mr

[5:40] re hooked us up with Mr lmer I believe

[5:43] his name is and you know he was very

[5:45] efficient you know think to know what's

[5:49] going on with Coco house and was able to

[5:51] close out that gr within 30 days of me

[5:54] reaching out to him in June we were able

[5:56] to clo up at cdbg Grant at the same time

[5:59] I became aware of the

[6:02] arrants and I saw that Koka House's

[6:06] arrant started in March and we had no

[6:08] reporting as of as of yet at the time

[6:11] which was May you know June July of 24

[6:15] which

[6:15] is um and so at that time I reached out

[6:20] to

[6:21] mras be in touch with uh once again with

[6:25] uh Mr wymer out in California to do the

[6:29] report

[6:30] and

[6:32] uh he was not aware of the reporting but

[6:35] he was able to get me you know the data

[6:37] that we needed to get started on that

[6:39] and I then started working with then the

[6:42] gentleman in California had some issues

[6:44] and he no longer

[6:46] participate uh in coko house on their

[6:49] board and I was working directly with Mr

[6:51] Ras and we had a bunch of conversations

[6:54] which culminated in in arranging a

[6:56] meeting at CoCo house on August 20

[7:00] 7th my myself and you know Denise

[7:05] Brooker who been assisting in the uh

[7:08] Department of development went out there

[7:10] we met we T his new building you know

[7:13] heard the whole you know heard the back

[7:15] story I was pretty familiar with it from

[7:17] working in the neighborhood uh for many years but we got we got the story

[7:22] and then I was able to we were able to

[7:24] sit down with him and go through the

[7:25] reporting

[7:27] requirements and the invoicing

[7:28] requirements for ARA line by line by

[7:32] line in great detail I got all the

[7:34] information that he needed and he

[7:36] educated him probably for 2 and a half

[7:38] hours on what was required part of that

[7:41] discussion was specifically the fact

[7:44] that you know I asked him about his work

[7:47] there and he was working part-time he

[7:49] still have a full-time job at the time

[7:52] and I explained that you know one of the

[7:54] requirements in the grant is that he was

[7:57] going to be one of the St was going to

[7:59] be his as the executive director to work

[8:01] full-time I said you might want to

[8:03] consider doing that I said because

[8:06] hiring people full time without

[8:09] full-time uh oversight could be you know

[8:12] could be problematic and also you need

[8:14] to use that money up and I specifically

[8:16] told them according to the grant that

[8:18] the city council may choose to recoup

[8:20] some of that money if a year goes by and

[8:22] they have to spent to

[8:24] $200,000 and he brought up the fact that

[8:27] you know he was having some difficulty

[8:29] with getting you know 20 or $30,000 to

[8:33] SL off until the city's funds can come

[8:36] around and we had we had a nice

[8:38] discussion you know having work in the

[8:40] nonprofit world I explained to him one

[8:42] of the things we we often do is we take

[8:44] the half a million doll contract that

[8:46] you have with the city and we go to one

[8:48] of the local banks and we say look we

[8:50] need you know you have a half million

[8:52] contract in the city it's Federal money

[8:55] guaranteed to come to you you spend it I

[8:57] said and they should be able to to give

[9:00] you some kind of bline credit if you

[9:02] only need

[9:04] $25,000 or $35,000 whatever you might

[9:06] need that's a guarantee against that

[9:09] loan and you should be able to get it

[9:12] it's been done before you can go to CPC

[9:14] there a you know that deals with

[9:16] nonprofits I say ways to do that as well

[9:18] as reaching out to their funding sources

[9:20] that have that assisted you in building

[9:22] doing the construction work and some and

[9:25] rning your programs is not a big ass and

[9:28] also at some point whether or not I I

[9:30] didn't know having just been there just

[9:32] a few months whether or not the city

[9:34] would Advance money to them uh but

[9:37] that's that'll be my next the next

[9:39] meeting we have so I gave him all these

[9:41] ideas and I offered you know I explained

[9:43] to him that I've been doing this for a

[9:45] long time in his

[9:47] position and that I could be a

[9:50] resource so we work with him for the

[9:53] next couple of weeks he got the

[9:55] reporting up to dat uh through you know

[9:59] J June 30th the next quarter so you got

[10:01] all the Au reporting up the date

[10:03] everything was good I looked at his

[10:05] paperwork you know and I was happy with

[10:09] the way where he was at the moment he

[10:11] once again was you know at that time he

[10:16] had told me that he was going to be

[10:17] hiring two

[10:19] employees uh I don't know if he ever did

[10:22] or not this was 820 the end of August

[10:25] but we did arrange to have another

[10:26] meeting this time in the office with

[10:29] including Alex to have some of his

[10:31] concern addressed once again so on

[10:34] September 26 I believe he came into the

[10:37] office I met with him along with with

[10:40] Denise from our office and Alex and Alex

[10:44] went through the budget one of the

[10:46] concerns specifically was the city

[10:49] council and uh their requirements for

[10:53] determining whether or not funds were

[10:55] going to be taken back it was I was very

[10:57] explicit with them that that if he

[10:59] doesn't spend this money you can be in

[11:01] danger of of having the city council be

[11:05] and let's work together to get it done

[11:08] having worked for nonprofit I understood

[11:10] you don't want to be getting the money

[11:11] back to the city uh but now that they

[11:13] work for the city you don't want to give

[11:15] back to the

[11:16] federal so at this meeting now we go

[11:19] line by line again on that contract we

[11:22] speak about spending the money down this

[11:24] is the second time right so my team did

[11:27] it on site I did in an office he left

[11:31] that meeting I said do you understand at

[11:34] that meeting he came he said he didn't

[11:35] have a copy of his contract that his CFO

[11:38] hadn't made him aware of what the terms

[11:41] were on that contract and then we've

[11:43] already gone above and beyond it's not

[11:45] the Department of development's Job to

[11:47] ensure that's not part of technical

[11:49] assistance that they have right there to

[11:51] assigned executed copy completely but it

[11:54] is our job to make sure that they

[11:56] understand and we did that we walked

[11:58] through do you have any question are we

[12:00] on the same page is kind of what I said

[12:03] are we on the same page he agreed and

[12:05] walked away with the

[12:07] plan again the plan is now the same song

[12:11] and dance I'm going to hire some people

[12:14] we're we're about to be hiring okay I

[12:16] got Clarity he left motivated saying

[12:18] yeah Clarity fast forward to the next

[12:21] meeting so I I work with uh Mr Reas once

[12:26] again over the next few weeks and I kept

[12:28] sing him that the the September 30th

[12:30] report is due on October

[12:33] 15th and I and I said I said look the

[12:37] city council is going to be wanting this

[12:40] report and sure enough I don't remember

[12:42] when exactly you know Alex requested

[12:44] that you folks wanted the most recent

[12:46] cly reports but I said you know you need

[12:50] to get the report so I had to come in on

[12:52] 10:26 again into the office and I walk

[12:55] through him what we would need on that

[12:58] report

[12:59] okay to number one meet off the

[13:02] regulations and number two show the city

[13:06] council that he's he's doing something

[13:09] and he did get the report to me which

[13:12] was included in in a list of reports

[13:14] that I sent out to uh Alex which was fed

[13:17] to you folks a month or two ago uh but

[13:21] once again I went through the know the

[13:22] same exact about hiring people you know

[13:26] as part as I knew he still he still

[13:28] wasn't working for whole time which was

[13:30] part of his in his contract that as you

[13:32] know the first line with him as

[13:34] executive

[13:35] director and I explained that it's

[13:38] difficult to run your agency if you're

[13:40] only there part

[13:42] ter and in the meantime that's that's

[13:45] where we are okay so then on the first

[13:49] week of December Finance Department of

[13:53] Finance requested that we're having a

[13:55] regular AR meeting because now the 31st

[13:58] is coming and they want to be sure that

[14:00] we have a plan together right so I

[14:03] attended my first meeting with the

[14:05] Department of Finance on December 3rd in

[14:07] which they questioned Coco house only

[14:10] spending

[14:12] $30,000 I said okay I'll go back to the

[14:14] Coco house and see if I can get some

[14:16] movement a clear understanding on where

[14:18] they are again reaching out to will viz

[14:22] I spoke to him on 129 he said I knew

[14:26] that was why you call Mrs verba we board

[14:29] just hired somebody last night

[14:32] again this is the third time that you

[14:35] have told the department that you hired

[14:37] somebody we understand that there have

[14:40] been some hiccups some transitions for

[14:42] the organization but our recommendation

[14:44] isn't based on that our recommendation

[14:46] is based on the ability to spend this

[14:49] money and not losing the

[14:52] funds so we have engaged Mr viz prior to

[14:58] Mitch Tak this on I had worked closely

[15:00] with Bob weer anytime a question was

[15:04] asked to Mr viz he's always reverted

[15:08] back to the CFO Bob Wier so he kind of

[15:10] was disconnected um from the project but

[15:13] we did engage him and this is no

[15:16] surprise that there was a possibility

[15:18] that funds could be

[15:20] recaptured when I spoke to him last week

[15:24] he agreed to funds being recaptured and

[15:26] said he's not coming to city council so

[15:29] between the time that I spoke to him on

[15:31] that morning and the night of the city

[15:33] council um his thought process or what

[15:36] he agreed on verbally on the phone with

[15:38] his board new board president had

[15:41] changed and I just kind of recap some of

[15:44] those things at one of the meetings the

[15:46] meeting that happened on September 26 I

[15:49] did address to him meeting the advaned

[15:51] funding and I said if you send a formal

[15:54] request give me something in writing and

[15:57] then we can see what we can do we never

[15:59] received a request so what I'm what I'm

[16:01] saying city council is that the

[16:03] department of development really went

[16:05] above and beyond what technical

[16:07] assistance is from the government when

[16:10] HUD is is on us about spending our money

[16:13] they're not holding our hand they're

[16:14] saying exactly what it is

[16:17] so my appeal is I I stand 100% behind

[16:21] the recommendation um that I made and to

[16:24] be honest with you I think my Rec our

[16:26] recommendation from the Department was

[16:27] generous cu considering the

[16:35] facts how many children is he actually

[16:39] serving Bas in this period of time based

[16:42] on the last quarterly report the new one

[16:44] is in due Mr Mayor until January 15th it

[16:47] closes out on the end of this month so

[16:50] based on September 30th in total for

[16:53] this grant period they have served 21

[16:55] young people

[16:59] quarter quarter one they served 14 and

[17:02] Quarter Two they added an

[17:04] additional which made it

[17:06] 21 do you have accountan the Staffing

[17:10] currently we have requested that that is

[17:13] in their contract as well that they are

[17:14] to supply resumees and Staffing and we

[17:17] had not when in the reporting he said

[17:19] that he had

[17:22] hired I have the last report

[17:26] sorry he said that he had hired some

[17:29] people and then we

[17:31] readed and asked about it that there was

[17:34] some hiccups and the persons um couldn't

[17:37] start um so they were back to uh square

[17:42] one with the Highland and then the most

[17:45] recent person that he said hired I asked

[17:48] him um how much was it I never got a

[17:51] name since $18 an hour for community

[17:54] outreach and they were going to use the

[17:57] other money for direct support staff I

[17:59] asked him based on his contract what

[18:01] positions are you considering direct

[18:04] support I did not get an

[18:06] answer I've also requested an updated

[18:08] spending plan I have not received that

[18:11] today today I also asked the new board

[18:13] president if he can provide an updated

[18:18] spending so M car you said you were

[18:21] generous and your mod um suggested a

[18:26] modification if you were to give us the

[18:28] real number what would I be I

[18:30] realistically I probably would have

[18:32] split it down the middle there's 21

[18:34] months left based on our subian

[18:37] contracts they have to June of 2026 to

[18:40] spend this money so based on the current

[18:42] recommendation that Lees them

[18:44] $336,000 to spend in 21 months if I have

[18:48] to B base this

[18:50] on what I had before me as far as

[18:54] reporting and what they have spent down

[18:56] it is unrealistic

[18:59] coming from me and I don't even know

[19:01] it's leaving 250,000 on the table right

[19:03] now what I

[19:05] have is

[19:08] realistic I just want to ask if we going

[19:10] to talk specifically about contracts do

[19:12] we need to do that

[19:14] executive might have to all right what

[19:18] the okay just want to make sure we uh

[19:21] don't have too much contact discussion

[19:23] if

[19:24] you're Corporation Council if you're

[19:28] talking about just what's in a contract

[19:30] that's not executive session if you're

[19:32] looking to

[19:34] negotiate or modify a contract something

[19:37] that would be subject

[19:40] to you know what direction the council

[19:42] goes what position I'm taking something

[19:45] then be appropriate go into executive

[19:48] session and council members I can't

[19:50] stress enough that we love the work

[19:52] that's being done in the community and

[19:54] this is not about that this is about the

[19:56] department making the best

[19:58] recommendation to make sure that we

[20:00] remain fiscally responsible with our off

[20:02] the

[20:03] funding go ahead so this money that was

[20:07] um was actually reallocated from a

[20:09] building and I understand all that

[20:10] process and we did it um towards

[20:13] Staffing um so I have in front of me you

[20:16] know a copy of the contract and I see

[20:18] that there would have been five well

[20:21] five and then also the executive

[20:23] director any position F there is

[20:28] one part-time position and that is what

[20:32] we receive the

[20:34] $30,000

[20:38] invoice go ahead please are we conf yes

[20:43] that is a are we confident that that

[20:46] person is still employed we have no

[20:48] documentation to support that because

[20:50] you you requested you requested the

[20:53] resumés you requested different kinds of

[20:56] reports and those were not received is

[20:58] what I read we have our updated reports

[21:00] that say that we hire people but with

[21:02] the invoice it doesn't doesn't match so

[21:05] we don't know what's what so you in the

[21:07] reporting he said he had Trent Griffin

[21:10] coming to do work but then over the

[21:12] phone he said that didn't go through

[21:14] there was some hiccups with it it's just

[21:17] kind of been there's been no Clarity

[21:20] provided to us and my team we're already

[21:23] short staff upstairs we we we've done more than what we techically

[21:29] would do with the

[21:33] subi I'm not sure if my questions for um

[21:37] should be in executive session so you

[21:39] can ask them and then okay I get an

[21:41] answer

[21:42] um I'm wondering if you know anything

[21:45] about I mean I think Mr weiner has been

[21:47] the person that sort of has been um

[21:50] overseeing anything that would be he

[21:53] took ill okay you have taken ill it's

[21:56] not coming back okay and then there was

[21:58] a whole shift with the entire board

[22:01] there's a whole new board from when we

[22:03] started this process and we didn't know

[22:05] that there was a new board Denise when

[22:08] we weren't getting the reports had to

[22:10] reach out and get this get the updated

[22:13] information okay my other question is

[22:16] just I just want to clarify because I

[22:18] think I heard you saying this but just

[22:20] want to hear it um

[22:22] so in terms of the development

[22:25] team's confidence in whether

[22:29] 25 uh 2025 and 2026 whether this work

[22:33] could be

[22:35] completed I just wanted to get a sense

[22:37] of your confidence level based on what

[22:39] we have M you want to chime in on this I

[22:43] don't want to be the bad kind um but

[22:45] based on information that we have I'm

[22:49] not 100% confident that they'll be able

[22:52] to spend all of that funding now I would

[22:56] like to also put on

[22:59] that we made suggestions to them to

[23:01] partner with the school district to do

[23:04] the Visa program with Union College

[23:06] we've had those conversations with will

[23:08] too and made some suggestions on how

[23:11] they can spend the funding so it is my

[23:13] hope that a new updated spending plan

[23:16] would

[23:17] support um

[23:20] spending thank you the remainder

[23:23] funds so so my question is so I guess my

[23:27] position is first that I'm always trying

[23:29] to remind the council that when we're

[23:30] working with kind know of the smaller

[23:33] nonprofits that we are being Equitable

[23:36] in our approach and not

[23:38] um having the similar same expectations

[23:41] of a nonprofit that has a whole

[23:43] development reporting department and you

[23:45] know what I seems like that isn't the

[23:48] case here which I know I'm you know glad

[23:51] to hear that you have been you know

[23:54] extremely supportive to the Coco house

[23:57] my question is

[23:59] the

[23:59] money

[24:01] that with the copal house as it stands

[24:04] right now has to spend that money on the

[24:07] workforce correct based on the contract

[24:10] salaries based on what they came the

[24:12] city council and asked to do with that

[24:15] funding okay okay good my thinking is

[24:17] that spending the money would probably

[24:19] not be an issue with the community such

[24:22] a great need but if

[24:24] it but to spend it the the the tension

[24:28] there is that it has to be spent

[24:31] in what

[24:32] they okay yeah the modification was

[24:35] asked to from the original build to kind

[24:38] of like staing and then we were back and

[24:40] forward and we had to change it to kind

[24:42] of like accommodate and then a budget

[24:44] was presented to us to kind of outline

[24:47] the Staffing and the salary

[24:51] level no I was just going to just

[24:55] explain so I was going to say I

[24:56] appreciate the level detail you provided

[24:59] way you got anticipate that coming back

[25:02] with respect to this but I also

[25:04] appreciate your differentiating between

[25:07] the work of the organization and just

[25:09] the communication we received with

[25:10] regards to this budget line and thank

[25:13] you for stressing that in hearing the

[25:15] two numbers that we've been hearing the

[25:18] 140,000 and you saying half of the

[25:20] remaining balance truly this is the last

[25:23] opportunity we'll have to REM These

[25:24] funds back so wanting your true figure

[25:28] and and I know it's Miss Patrick's Point

[25:30] with as it was presented the

[25:33] 140,000 whatever that new figure is what

[25:35] is then your confence that that would be

[25:38] approprate for to spend out

[25:42] mrams that is up to city council is that where we're starting to

[25:47] move that be executive session we're

[25:50] getting into the into the contract NE so

[25:53] we can we can discuss and then move into

[25:55] an executive session and address that I

[25:58] guess

[25:59] I would want to just highlight the fact

[26:01] that coko house obviously isn't the only

[26:04] institution that's struggling to find

[26:06] qualified candidates in the current

[26:08] labor market so there is a you know

[26:10] there's an expectation of there to be a

[26:13] me that that that's going to be a

[26:15] struggle because some of the uh larger

[26:18] institutions that do have resources um

[26:20] are still struggling um to to to find um

[26:24] qualified candidates so I I I think

[26:26] that's something that we want to keep in mind but also

[26:30] um Miss car I know that in the past you

[26:33] have uh requested like maybe a couple

[26:37] weeks ago maybe last month it was when

[26:39] you came you were requesting spending

[26:41] plans from um from some cities did the

[26:46] COC ever provide you with the spending

[26:48] when I requested that on the phone to

[26:51] them

[26:52] 129 and then I would questioned it again

[26:55] for an updated plan with the new board

[26:57] president

[26:59] again the board president new board

[27:01] president is the one that shout to me

[27:03] today not Mr VI so this further just

[27:06] kind of support the the disconnect um

[27:09] out of all of our 47 subrecipients

[27:13] I hav't had to work for board

[27:16] president um It's usually the executive

[27:19] director the CEO who's doing the dayto

[27:21] day so that we're

[27:23] clear what the expectations are um so

[27:28] I was referred back to the new board

[27:31] president and I just asked if he can

[27:33] simply you know submit an

[27:41] update go ahead no I was before I

[27:45] mean in the contract that we approved on

[27:48] the document that we approved it was the

[27:50] executive director should be on

[27:52] full-time so how many months have passed

[27:55] and the executive L is still not

[27:57] full-time it's probably

[27:58] M and um I'm glad that both you and

[28:02] Michelle is goinging through in detail

[28:03] because I spoke with u Mr Reas last week

[28:06] and that was one of the reason why I had

[28:07] many concern

[28:09] because what he told me is not what I'm

[28:11] hearing here and I trust what I'm

[28:14] hearing here and that was the reason I

[28:16] asked M president if we can hold this to

[28:18] discuss this you know a a level to

[28:21] understand what is happening here and he

[28:23] never mentioned to me that he was not

[28:25] full time he says he's taking a k cut

[28:28] so I asked you why are you taking a pay

[28:30] cut you should you know it was approved

[28:33] for you to take a full salary and

[28:35] there's no reason why you should take it

[28:37] is it one of the reason why it's 30,000

[28:39] and not higher than that that we

[28:41] expended today so I'm glad that this

[28:43] information is coming out here for us to

[28:45] discuss so that we understand where we

[28:48] are at this point in time and

[28:51] um I am worried that um they might not

[28:55] able to spend all this money over the

[28:57] next couple years and we might be able

[28:59] to lose

[29:01] again if there is a plan our our team is

[29:05] ready to kind of help them flush through

[29:06] it we've been constantly saying that we

[29:09] are a resource

[29:13] um but it look like you are going Beyond

[29:17] you and your team going Way Beyond mean

[29:19] we are going above and beyond and not

[29:22] just with that I'm I'm a trusted

[29:24] department and if I make a

[29:25] recommendation to you please believe

[29:28] that my team has done their part and

[29:30] we've assessed what we've needed to

[29:32] assess to make a solid recommendation to

[29:36] the mayor Department of Finance and city

[29:39] council please so we're recommending

[29:43] that we almost take

[29:44] $320,000 back for the 140 plus halfs

[29:47] left that will be an executive session

[29:50] Contra so we'll keep

[29:53] that and you just mentioned that uh he

[29:55] took a pay cut do we do we know who the

[29:57] EMP is that's getting the $30,000 or

[30:00] that no no no he's he's he's not

[30:02] full-time so he's more like okay he

[30:04] didn't mention to me that he was not

[30:06] full-time you mentioned that he's not

[30:08] drawing down his full salary that was

[30:10] allocated in this ARA doc I wonder if he

[30:13] was pulling in that I mean that's what

[30:18] he I mean will reiterated that I believe

[30:21] the other evening at city council as

[30:23] well that um he hadn't taken the salary

[30:25] that was included in this um

[30:29] I think that's what he kind of meant he

[30:30] did he exactly said that yes he did say

[30:33] that to us too he said he thought he was

[30:35] doing the right thing and wanted to hire

[30:38] um other staff before he paid himself he

[30:41] did he did say

[30:44] that I will say that in his invoices he

[30:47] he's paying for the amount of hours that

[30:49] he puts in okay so he's he he said to me

[30:53] he only works parttime there so he's

[30:55] putting he's he's billing us an

[30:56] appropriate salary

[30:58] you know for the hours that he's

[31:02] working Mr um so actually it's kind of

[31:06] like really to Mr F's point I just um

[31:09] just want to be clear it's not that

[31:10] we're not we want the C to be successful

[31:13] we you put the money and so it's not

[31:15] about not want them to be successful but

[31:18] it's more about can they spend the money

[31:20] because if the money is not spent then

[31:22] the money goes back and back to federal

[31:25] government and we don't want to be put

[31:27] in that position we want what's being my

[31:30] understanding and recommendation from

[31:31] Department development is uh just leave

[31:34] enough of the funding so they can still

[31:36] spend it within that the of time frame

[31:39] without putting other funding in

[31:41] Jeopardy so I know it's difficult for

[31:43] everybody to hire that's a

[31:46] fact

[31:51] you

[31:54] everybody go

[31:56] ahead no you can go ahead and no I just

[31:59] want to clarify again did I hear um and

[32:01] I don't have the contract with me I did

[32:04] look it um the contract says that he

[32:08] would be full-time is that what I heard

[32:10] earlier yes and also it's been since

[32:13] March that you guys have been meeting

[32:15] with

[32:15] him I started meeting with him oh June

[32:19] May June and then in person you know

[32:21] August September October and prior to

[32:24] that it has been with he directed us to

[32:28] contract

[32:30] Mr so I would imagine that just for

[32:33] clarity that the contract say that not necessar that he would be fulltime

[32:37] but someone would be full-time right

[32:40] okay I just want to make

[32:42] that but in there in his

[32:47] proposal he states that he okay will be

[32:51] full time here's a copy and I don't know

[32:53] that you have it but that is how they

[32:55] proposed to city council with the ch and

[32:58] it it says in there that he will be the

[33:01] full-time executive director and that

[33:04] this funding will support him being time

[33:07] so that he F that will help support the

[33:11] sustainability

[33:12] plan as I would imagine that Mr Reas is

[33:17] probably used to

[33:18] working um in a way that you know um he

[33:23] trying to be really mindful about how we

[33:25] spending that money so I would say him

[33:27] now

[33:28] taking a full-time position and trying

[33:30] to open up opportunity for somebody else

[33:31] to step in and you know I I I could see

[33:34] why that might be a his thought process

[33:36] I don't think that it it lends itself to

[33:39] how this is structured but I just

[33:40] thought that was important to bring up

[33:43] as well and and for the Department you

[33:46] know our book is very challenging and we

[33:48] want to make sure that we're crossing

[33:50] our tees and D in our eyes you know when

[33:53] it comes from the city's perspective my

[33:58] perspective as the Director of

[33:59] development we have to do our due

[34:01] diligence to ensure that we're in

[34:03] compliance again I can't stress enough

[34:05] how we do believe and the work is doing

[34:09] in the community and ser offering and

[34:12] our recommendation is not

[34:19] very go ahead please the next action

[34:22] since the other two items are related is

[34:24] going to Executive

[34:26] session sign missing any other comments

[34:30] well we'll have this question on them

[34:31] and then we'll move into executive

[34:34] session do we have any other questions

[34:37] on this item so I just want to um point

[34:41] out what currently is in there in terms

[34:42] of as because we're going to go into the

[34:44] funding

[34:45] um and what was also to in the um

[34:48] contract is that uh any funds for

[34:51] OnStaff positions would be de obligated

[34:58] that is in the contract to the Coco

[35:06] house any other question on this

[35:10] it I actually uh I just want to say that

[35:13] I support what Mr Williams is saying

[35:15] that I think we should go into executive

[35:16] session I don't know how we can discuss

[35:18] the other two items right um about

[35:21] making decisions about well discussing

[35:23] the other item may not be

[35:25] fully TR may not be fully executive

[35:28] session

[35:29] okay when we go executive session

[35:31] discuss the money thing come out back

[35:33] and then come back

[35:36] up we wouldn't have to go in second

[35:39] session and talk about the contract and

[35:41] then we can come out the second session

[35:43] and talk about

[35:44] items

[35:46] okay so so motion to go into executive

[35:50] session second second all in favor I we

[35:54] are in the executive section

[1:37:22] e e

[1:40:01] couldn't we just be amending the Arc of

[1:40:04] money that we already gave to the city

[1:40:06] for that we already in other words we

[1:40:08] already amended we already gave money

[1:40:10] for summer youth employment if we were

[1:40:13] going to be giving more money for Su

[1:40:14] that was in the budget yes that's an

[1:40:17] orance so you have to do

[1:40:20] notice you're not going to do it by

[1:40:22] Tuesday

[1:40:26] oh question Mr oh go ahead so um are we

[1:40:30] previously had an agreement

[1:40:33] with yeah we can't no we did not we

[1:40:36] never

[1:40:39] did well who did we have an agreement

[1:40:41] with through the summer

[1:40:43] program we we work with the

[1:40:47] county conects but we don't it

[1:40:51] was no official was a school district I

[1:40:54] believe in this school district was in

[1:40:56] 22 yes that was the last agreement we

[1:40:59] had

[1:41:01] second I was trying to see if we could

[1:41:03] just amend something we already had in

[1:41:04] place by getting more money like we just

[1:41:07] took money from can you amend the budget

[1:41:10] but the budget is an ordinance this is

[1:41:14] now okay thank

[1:41:20] you by Tuesday

[1:41:27] understand what you

[1:41:29] say what are you saying for the

[1:41:32] allocation to the truck or that the

[1:41:34] truck I can get a contract by Tuesday

[1:41:37] get a purchase order in place it's the

[1:41:40] remaining money student censuses to put

[1:41:43] it in a summer

[1:41:45] youth

[1:41:48] program I'm not clear how I get that

[1:41:54] so has anybody talk to the

[1:41:57] county

[1:42:00] about

[1:42:01] no no but I mean I know for example that

[1:42:05] it would would to be I know I believe

[1:42:07] that um the parks director has indicated

[1:42:11] that they could use more bus that that

[1:42:13] would just be within the

[1:42:16] city yes yes how does that move that

[1:42:19] Mone I guess we can't because it's

[1:42:22] resolution

[1:42:24] so let's to

[1:42:27] C enter into an

[1:42:30] agreement agency agreement you have to

[1:42:33] have one or signed by or otherwise

[1:42:36] evidence to send parties so if we could

[1:42:39] get

[1:42:42] Anil

[1:42:44] agreement doesn't necessar have to be

[1:42:50] S then

[1:42:56] these are all going to be looked at and

[1:42:58] it's how just make it happen it's not an

[1:43:03] agreement and I have a point that go

[1:43:06] ahead please with

[1:43:11] Mr so what I what I was saying is

[1:43:14] that we partnered with the school

[1:43:16] district PR I'm sure

[1:43:19] that being that there's already an

[1:43:21] infrastructure there to help with the

[1:43:23] summer youth

[1:43:24] program then I think that that would be

[1:43:27] a pretty

[1:43:28] easy contract to get sign relatively

[1:43:33] quickly um if I understand what we're

[1:43:35] saying is that any money that's

[1:43:37] recruited we can't just move it to the

[1:43:39] youth uh Services line without

[1:43:46] an you authorize me to sign

[1:43:50] it does the superintendent have to go

[1:43:53] back to the board of education to get it

[1:43:55] authorized for him to yes which is how

[1:43:57] most of

[1:44:00] those happen if you're

[1:44:03] amending an existing agreement and I

[1:44:06] don't remember the details of the prior

[1:44:08] one when I

[1:44:10] think it's probably limited and you're

[1:44:13] not going to be able to amend that that

[1:44:15] is sure we could model it after that

[1:44:19] redo it right don't have the time

[1:44:26] isn't it the same thing for the county

[1:44:27] also they will have to have their vot on

[1:44:29] Direct s money from us from the count

[1:44:32] man will have to make a recommendation

[1:44:34] for the full full body they may have I'm

[1:44:37] not sure for some of those program it's

[1:44:41] a lower

[1:44:42] threshold there some things that falls I

[1:44:46] can

[1:44:48] sign without full Council authorization

[1:44:54] what if it was a different project what

[1:44:56] if it was using money for a truck and

[1:45:00] then something else um something else

[1:45:03] like can can we move this money into the city buet something else the

[1:45:10] differences would that has to be done by

[1:45:13] ordinance and would that create problem

[1:45:16] it has to obligate the money so if it's

[1:45:18] going internally in the city it's got to

[1:45:21] be uh

[1:45:24] an ordinance if you're authorizing

[1:45:26] payment there's other things

[1:45:30] for uh you we're doing work on the water

[1:45:35] BS

[1:45:37] uh we could find some Bill there for the

[1:45:42] water WS that use AR that's what I'm

[1:45:44] wondering

[1:45:49] uh saying while was looking for ,000 for

[1:45:54] a fountain for

[1:45:57] the one pound

[1:46:06] andry I mean just looking at past ARA

[1:46:10] applications under Parks is um oh the

[1:46:13] environmental Clearing House of SK you

[1:46:16] know the new thing going on over there

[1:46:17] can we hire somebody there for something

[1:46:20] put some more money into there or that's

[1:46:21] all pay for

[1:46:23] but got to have a

[1:46:25] contract contract the easiest way is dep

[1:46:29] have the in the city in the city and

[1:46:31] let's see how we can able to reallocate

[1:46:33] that money within the city you what do

[1:46:35] you need it for what do you need it for

[1:46:37] like 9,000 10,000 what do we need we'll

[1:46:40] give

[1:46:41] it what number are we talking about 108

[1:46:45] can can I um can I just get

[1:46:46] clarification because initially when we

[1:46:48] started into the conversation we said

[1:46:50] like 140 was the number um and now that

[1:46:53] numbers changed so are you are you

[1:46:56] asking still just for the 140 for the

[1:46:58] truck is that what you're asking now and

[1:46:59] now the discussion is what Happ to the

[1:47:01] left right just want to the truck is

[1:47:05] actually

[1:47:07] 14158

[1:47:12] okay well I got one quick question pleas

[1:47:16] in the budget that we currently have and

[1:47:18] this was supposed to have been a plow

[1:47:19] truck plow trucks were a little bit

[1:47:21] higher than that

[1:47:24] this and I don't know if you were

[1:47:26] hearing I said we lost another truck

[1:47:27] Monday was in an auto accident Car buer

[1:47:31] Pro the this is the cab and

[1:47:36] Chassis for the truck and then we would

[1:47:39] put on the back of it either the sander

[1:47:44] or a box so they put uh you know Hall

[1:47:48] dirt or other things and it's capable of

[1:47:51] up to an 11 foot straight edge plow

[1:47:54] blade so we already have plow

[1:47:57] blades go on even though

[1:48:01] it's it's the winter so everybody

[1:48:03] worries about plow trucks

[1:48:06] it's I'm just what I'm seeing here say

[1:48:08] PL trucks and I looked in our budget the

[1:48:10] P trucks were a little bit like they

[1:48:12] like 300,000 or something so that's why

[1:48:14] but that's you're buying the whole thing

[1:48:17] this is want to give me more money we'll

[1:48:20] buy but we can get by with the just

[1:48:24] under

[1:48:26] Z all right so what's our

[1:48:30] next I'm

[1:48:38] sorry

[1:48:40] Comm if we were to do an Audi if we need

[1:48:43] to do an

[1:48:44] audience how do we proceed you don't

[1:48:47] have enough time we don't

[1:48:50] have no we can't

[1:48:54] so again my thing would be any money

[1:48:57] that we are recouping we want to

[1:48:59] reinvest into the youth um as well and I

[1:49:03] think that if we

[1:49:05] could work with um the school district

[1:49:09] to do the uh like the youth employment

[1:49:12] piece then that's good use of funds and

[1:49:15] I'm confident that they'd be able to and

[1:49:18] I'm I'm confident that they that they'd

[1:49:20] be able to do that to um execute a

[1:49:22] contract contct on by Monday um so we

[1:49:26] wouldn't have them so the the board

[1:49:28] would able to meet an execute a contract

[1:49:30] I'm confident that that would they would

[1:49:32] have we already had an exist they have

[1:49:35] to do notice right yes

[1:49:39] Friday we only have two days one

[1:49:43] day

[1:49:46] no we did it Monday they're not they're

[1:49:49] not there yeah Monday Monday would be

[1:49:50] yes we can't come choose it choose

[1:49:53] bu yeah so you're saying that the board

[1:49:57] can meet from now if we were to move

[1:49:59] forward is from now to to Monday close

[1:50:01] the business and sign a contract and get

[1:50:03] it back to the mayor because there's

[1:50:05] already an existing contract that we

[1:50:06] could use because there's already an

[1:50:07] infrastructure that's been done before a

[1:50:09] lot of the questions that would be asked

[1:50:10] would probably be answered already

[1:50:12] because this is not new new territory

[1:50:13] for them so I think that if were

[1:50:17] um what's the Le time on the school

[1:50:21] board we

[1:50:27] like City it's a three-day yust you

[1:50:33] said you I think

[1:50:35] you so could we if we're talking about

[1:50:38] the city hiring just have an insure

[1:50:40] agency agreement with our HR department

[1:50:42] could we do that

[1:50:45] why so internally by it's this inter

[1:50:51] agency agreements of really a contract M

[1:50:55] so it has to be an outside

[1:50:59] agency so it's so it's

[1:51:02] $108,000 if I can if I get Paul fund on

[1:51:06] the phone and find something for

[1:51:10] $100,000 like in the water department we

[1:51:13] use it in the water department and then

[1:51:15] I come the water the water fund has more

[1:51:18] flexibility

[1:51:21] than the fund it's just an odity in the

[1:51:24] way the code is written and I come back

[1:51:27] to the council in 30 days or 40 days

[1:51:31] and we have a summer

[1:51:34] program out of the water department

[1:51:37] for

[1:51:40] $100,000 paid from the paid from the

[1:51:42] budget right from the budget sorry he

[1:51:45] actually Mr Leon did mention that at a

[1:51:47] meeting that I attended about youth

[1:51:49] employment with the school district um

[1:51:52] and s We There was big meeting like last

[1:51:54] week or a couple weeks ago um and Mr

[1:51:57] Leon was at the table and he talked

[1:51:59] about possibly hiring youth that would

[1:52:02] be able to do like water research and other kinds of things through the

[1:52:06] waterc I I think that's a great

[1:52:07] suggestion because we don't want to lose

[1:52:09] this whatever the number is 108

[1:52:11] 112 is it's it's vital that we secure

[1:52:15] the money and it's prent for go ahead so

[1:52:19] we're talking about summer program is it

[1:52:21] really conceivable

[1:52:23] that we can um spend $18,000 in

[1:52:26] the water

[1:52:29] department because I mean that's a lot

[1:52:31] of kids to hire I don't think it's

[1:52:34] conceivable that we can spend all that

[1:52:35] money because it's not like you can put

[1:52:37] the money in the water their pocket we

[1:52:38] can hire I don't know staff in the cl's

[1:52:41] office staff here staff there I think

[1:52:43] that those are considerations that not

[1:52:45] everyone's going to be able to work in

[1:52:46] the water department I

[1:52:49] agree Mr so then necess is then maybe B keep this

[1:52:58] money under po house yes and then go

[1:53:01] back to where um the mayor had mentioned

[1:53:04] that we utilize them to pay for these

[1:53:07] youth as we secure Y and I was trying to

[1:53:10] be careful for what to disclose from

[1:53:12] executive session but I would say that

[1:53:13] makes the most sense use it and leverage

[1:53:15] it exactly as the mayor mentioned so I

[1:53:18] think that we move forward with you know

[1:53:20] taking back x amount we have allocate to

[1:53:23] item number

[1:53:24] two and the remaining balance for me go

[1:53:28] before back to so we don't have to do

[1:53:30] the 250 250 minus the 108 whatever the

[1:53:34] final number is and then work with I'm

[1:53:36] Sor and then work with Coco house no to kind of spend that money but then I'm

[1:53:42] worried that we going to have to be

[1:53:44] really really really I'm looking at you because it's

[1:53:49] going to be double work for you and your

[1:53:52] stuff

[1:53:53] and that's what I'm concerned about you

[1:53:56] guys said you can yeah go ahead please

[1:53:59] but I would say but the work is a loose

[1:54:00] term where they would be a funding

[1:54:02] source yes as we previously discussed so

[1:54:05] it's not that they're traditionally

[1:54:06] doing the work they would be funding

[1:54:09] another Staffing uh resource in the city

[1:54:13] more like a pass we will have to help

[1:54:16] them with the recording the the

[1:54:18] bookkeeping I would hope not I mean but

[1:54:20] we have to because that's going to be it

[1:54:21] on us

[1:54:22] still be responsible for they're still

[1:54:25] responsible yes but can't they hire

[1:54:28] someone to do that if the money is there

[1:54:31] and they're doing this this work that's

[1:54:33] used Etc don't you hire someone to do

[1:54:35] that as opposed to City staff TR to do

[1:54:37] that that's a further way of spending

[1:54:39] the money someone overseeing the

[1:54:41] programs to hire young people I I I

[1:54:44] think the option is you

[1:54:46] know not not he's in charge of

[1:54:50] everything Mr leine well parks Parks

[1:54:53] water no I have some I have some

[1:54:56] responsibility well he can send people

[1:54:58] over to the pool that's really you're

[1:55:00] right they're not Parts funding the

[1:55:03] funding of Parts is under the general

[1:55:04] budget water and garbage F so when you

[1:55:07] put some money in there it has to spend

[1:55:08] for that purpose

[1:55:11] only again I mean I I feel like I'm

[1:55:14] missing something here but so we we are

[1:55:16] sure that we can't take the money and

[1:55:19] use it for some other

[1:55:22] you g me a scenario yeah well like like

[1:55:26] for example a splash pad in Hill crr

[1:55:29] Park or um okay we can do that I have to

[1:55:32] have it under contract I see what you're

[1:55:34] saying by Tu midnight on Tuesday we

[1:55:37] probably can't do that no that's excuse

[1:55:39] me so that's one of the reasons that we

[1:55:40] move the Other M because we didn't have

[1:55:42] a contract for those things so we want

[1:55:45] to don't want to put ourselves in

[1:55:47] same can we um so can we move up here so

[1:55:50] let me just pull something out can we

[1:55:52] move some is it water department some

[1:55:54] money to the water department report

[1:55:56] back some money to F house and let's move

[1:56:00] forward so we have some money in the

[1:56:02] water department H you and we go back

[1:56:05] and house instead of 250 we give back do

[1:56:09] they will they call a meeting for

[1:56:11] this obviously dem's on the

[1:56:14] phone do they have the time for that

[1:56:19] respect 24 hourss wow

[1:56:23] 24 hour we should know this so

[1:56:28] Monday this isn't

[1:56:32] um a conflict of interest with you and

[1:56:35] what you do when what how you're paid or

[1:56:38] anything no no well so no be confli

[1:56:42] interest because I'm just trying to

[1:56:44] figure out if they have the capacity to

[1:56:46] do it answering the question that the

[1:56:47] mayor is asking so now so let me just be

[1:56:49] clear conflict of interest if he's like

[1:56:51] directly benefiting from and we're

[1:56:52] talking about you program right but and

[1:56:55] for me I will recuse myself from the

[1:56:58] vote right

[1:57:07] thank so um mayor in ter in terms of and maybe Mr far you know this as well

[1:57:13] in terms of um Coco houses or you know

[1:57:16] in terms of their summer youth program

[1:57:18] you mentioned that their connect this

[1:57:19] connect connects in some

[1:57:22] I didn't somebody else said

[1:57:26] they

[1:57:30] connect puts kids in

[1:57:34] there working with I think other kids

[1:57:36] right so so this is just you know since

[1:57:40] we're really thinking way outside the

[1:57:41] box so is it possible that connect

[1:57:44] connects do you know have some

[1:57:45] recruiting and so and the actual payment

[1:57:48] for the children young people comes

[1:57:51] through poal house where don't have

[1:57:52] because they don't have the capacity to

[1:57:54] since um connecting connects I'm

[1:57:57] assuming gets like thousands or hundreds

[1:58:00] of

[1:58:01] applications then they could just you

[1:58:03] know then C the kid the young people

[1:58:05] could go work there but still get paid

[1:58:08] and get paid through the focal house if

[1:58:10] we're still we're talking about those

[1:58:12] things that is

[1:58:13] correct well yes and they can utilize

[1:58:16] the funding based on the suggestion that

[1:58:19] we made and exactly outlined by you

[1:58:21] there and

[1:58:23] soan it's going to the

[1:58:25] youth that would have to be outlined

[1:58:28] because technically C house can do

[1:58:30] whatever they want with the money that

[1:58:32] would have to be very specific specify

[1:58:36] in the contract cont we wouldn't have

[1:58:41] any authority to say you have to do that

[1:58:44] un let that's we could modify a

[1:58:47] contract going forward as long as this

[1:58:50] existing contract is in place okay the

[1:58:53] money is obligated and it's within the

[1:58:55] prog to spend a little bit more this

[1:58:58] year a little bit less the next year so

[1:59:01] long as we're happy with it they're

[1:59:02] happy with it me to General there's no

[1:59:05] rush to modify it before the midnight of

[1:59:07] Tuesday is there I think we should I

[1:59:10] don't think I want to take any

[1:59:12] chance well we have to modify it to get

[1:59:15] the money the truck yeah definitely do

[1:59:18] that and then the

[1:59:20] yes yes that part yes and then also as

[1:59:24] Miss car was saying I think that we

[1:59:26] should air on the side you know um air

[1:59:29] on the side of judgment that we should

[1:59:32] modify it also to make sure that the

[1:59:34] spending goes away we discussing we

[1:59:37] don't

[1:59:43] need okay so I think this is the best

[1:59:46] way to move forward item two and three

[1:59:49] to we make um a suggestion if their

[1:59:53] support for it and then the balance just

[1:59:56] reort back to poal house and and then

[1:59:58] amend the contract to kind of put that

[2:00:00] towards in is that how we what aming

[2:00:06] back well we well what the truck the

[2:00:09] suggestion on the table the pl truck is

[2:00:11] 142,000 141

[2:00:14] 1558 let's do the

[2:00:16] 142 then we might lose a little bit of

[2:00:18] money yeah exactly well I'm going I'm

[2:00:23] going by with the person who got the

[2:00:24] numbers and why if it's maybe it's only

[2:00:27] 220,000 whatever it is I think we should

[2:00:29] go says and then just like

[2:00:32] round was it 141 58

[2:00:39] 580 that give us

[2:00:44] back2 plus 250

[2:00:47] resolution truck take that

[2:00:50] so what it

[2:00:54] it's fine says CL

[2:00:56] that will be

[2:01:03] 350n to

[2:01:09] use

[2:01:11] I no no no it has the contract has to be

[2:01:13] 350 at 420 FAL house and then we'll have

[2:01:16] to amend the their contract to kind

[2:01:20] of to say at

[2:01:23] 108,000 108 420 for you um Youth

[2:01:28] Employment

[2:01:29] Program is

[2:01:31] that

[2:01:34] see and so that still leaves them

[2:01:36] roughly

[2:01:37] 24,000 M yeah minus the 30

[2:01:43] 38 yes two um 320 and if we minus no we can't minus

[2:01:50] 108 because it has to be contract so

[2:01:53] they

[2:02:02] contract so their new allocation is 358

[2:02:05] 420

[2:02:11] 35842

[2:02:13] oh see if everybody agrees to that

[2:02:15] though yes we're just using numbers and

[2:02:17] then um

[2:02:19] 141 580

[2:02:25] is

[2:02:27] there fun a good standing and maybe we

[2:02:31] can cont shot C doing a

[2:02:39] great please so the issue that we're

[2:02:41] dealing with is how can we still move

[2:02:44] the money and not lose it so that's

[2:02:46] where we're currently at so the Coco

[2:02:48] housing project as it currently stands

[2:02:51] is more us like a holding pot yes for

[2:02:54] the money so we can all not be in

[2:02:56] agreement on them holding it I think the

[2:02:59] conversation then shifts to all right

[2:03:01] how do we adjust the contract mov

[2:03:03] forward so that it meets the common

[2:03:06] conversations that have been happening

[2:03:07] over the evening but if we don't proceed

[2:03:09] with this we potentionally do not have a

[2:03:12] contract signed and lose all the money

[2:03:14] by Tuesday that's the they sign it I

[2:03:18] suggest you go back into executive

[2:03:20] session you're going to talk about

[2:03:23] cont

[2:03:35] yeah she we have

[2:03:40] any do we can we vote on the truck I

[2:03:44] mean well you have to get the money we

[2:03:47] already did we did that already oh

[2:03:50] because we didn't done

[2:03:53] anything ccle

[2:03:57] around back

[2:04:00] second well can I ask a question before

[2:04:02] we

[2:04:03] go we have to keep going no before we

[2:04:07] back to Second session if we've come up

[2:04:10] with the number that needs to happen we

[2:04:13] can't vote that through you can't excuse

[2:04:17] me not going to say me because I know

[2:04:18] I'm not on the committee you can't vote

[2:04:19] that through the number that we said

[2:04:21] that we would amend

[2:04:23] we still talking about a

[2:04:24] contract I think Mr Williams's

[2:04:26] recommendation is to put it into the

[2:04:28] Coco house contract right no my

[2:04:31] recommendation is to only move the

[2:04:33] amount or the truck that's the only

[2:04:36] adjustment oh okay but that can't we do

[2:04:38] that now is what I was

[2:04:43] asking well didn't get there's no second

[2:04:47] that's I can withdraw that but I I think

[2:04:49] I was hearing that we have that money

[2:04:52] because we didn't take it away yet that

[2:04:54] is

[2:04:59] correct oh so I guess if there there any

[2:05:02] further conversation I would like to

[2:05:04] make a motion

[2:05:05] to recoup back that 14 don't have a

[2:05:09] specific amount that's the motion that I

[2:05:11] would

[2:05:12] to what I would suggest

[2:05:15] is

[2:05:18] in legislation to recruit that money

[2:05:22] is that the council agrees to modify the

[2:05:26] Coco house contract to allocate

[2:05:33] $108,000

[2:05:35] for summer youth

[2:05:38] programs the same motion okay okay for

[2:05:42] in it might be with the city it might be

[2:05:46] with uh the school district who might be

[2:05:48] with con actually connects uh

[2:05:56] so I would say let's make a motion to

[2:05:59] recoup

[2:06:00] $141,500 from the Coco

[2:06:04] house and that the

[2:06:08] remaining

[2:06:13] um

[2:06:14] 108,000

[2:06:17] 8,4 be allocated to support the sum

[2:06:21] youth program as to be outlined within

[2:06:24] the football the football

[2:06:27] house do you think they'd be agreeable

[2:06:29] to that or to work on

[2:06:31] it or do they have the capacity to do it

[2:06:36] well some they don't have to have we

[2:06:39] have the

[2:06:43] money

[2:06:48] people we're hiring the people

[2:06:52] City

[2:06:53] Department so first we need a motion to

[2:06:55] take back that's what he's doing no

[2:06:58] you're taking back one40 so we going to

[2:07:00] take back the 250 250 so we need a I

[2:07:03] need we need a motion a resolution to De

[2:07:06] obligate the Coco house allocation from

[2:07:10] 500,000 to

[2:07:12] 250,000 Mr May um what what mood us to

[2:07:17] say was do we take back to 41 580 and

[2:07:22] that the rest was remaining and then we

[2:07:23] would then amend their contract to spend

[2:07:26] 108 420 on summer program it would still

[2:07:29] would need to take that money back we

[2:07:31] just amend their contract in summer

[2:07:33] that's what should was being said I

[2:07:35] think this raises to

[2:07:41] negotiate do you think that

[2:07:44] works I'm not totally clear um and I I

[2:07:49] guess so but I'm

[2:07:51] if if if I'm hearing it correctly I I I

[2:07:54] think it works I'm just not sure if uh

[2:07:56] we're on the same page as that though so

[2:07:58] I I don't know if we're talking if this

[2:07:59] is the level if this conversation is

[2:08:01] Raising itself to the level um of

[2:08:03] negotiations to Mrs Patrick ear so those

[2:08:06] are two things I'm

[2:08:08] thinking but again I'm not on you know I

[2:08:10] think yeah so let's let's recap that

[2:08:13] back

[2:08:14] please so I'm making a motion to recoup

[2:08:17] $141,500

[2:08:21] from the Coco house in further outlining

[2:08:25] that

[2:08:26] $18,400 remaining within that line be

[2:08:29] allocated to Summer you program

[2:08:32] support those details can be further

[2:08:34] outlined within the contract correct and that will bring pocal house

[2:08:39] allocation to

[2:08:41] $358,500 that is

[2:08:45] correct do we have

[2:08:47] a that's on the table I guess you get a

[2:08:50] second to de discuss it second respond

[2:08:54] to discuss you have to discuss before

[2:08:56] motion there's a motion that's what did

[2:08:59] second the motion it's

[2:09:00] fine we could

[2:09:06] stor program person so it's flexibility

[2:09:08] within the contract but as long as the

[2:09:12] overall

[2:09:15] allocation before December

[2:09:20] 31st so so let me try speak can do it

[2:09:23] this way I think this might be easier a

[2:09:25] resolution to De obligate the clal house

[2:09:27] allocation from 500,000 to

[2:09:31] $358,500 then we have to have a

[2:09:34] resolution for the

[2:09:36] TR yes so I think that was that's what's

[2:09:38] on the table right now a resolution to

[2:09:40] De obligate Cal house

[2:09:42] allocation 500,000 to 358

[2:09:49] 420 are we including will be going to do

[2:09:54] that kids there

[2:09:57] to some of the other

[2:10:03] programs well that 40 that is on the

[2:10:07] table was what they via text agreed that

[2:10:10] they okay with so they would still have

[2:10:13] council's expressing this pleasure with

[2:10:16] their performance and saying they'll

[2:10:19] have the money but they want to go

[2:10:22] for 10 something, 108 to go for youth uh

[2:10:29] employment and then they still have

[2:10:31] 250,000 to spend in 21 months on

[2:10:35] sou uh is it do they have a 250 or is it

[2:10:44] 250 in 18 so it's $10,000 a month got

[2:11:02] and they to use that

[2:11:04] money they wouldn't be hirings we would

[2:11:07] be wanting them to work with SK

[2:11:10] connects not the youth won't be working

[2:11:13] at COC house

[2:11:17] maybe it's sto to be developed could

[2:11:22] the school district could

[2:11:26] be St with in the neighborhood

[2:11:30] to

[2:11:32] Mr so my suggestion there is a motion on

[2:11:35] table that we decide whe How that Mo

[2:11:38] going to move forward and then we if

[2:11:40] we're going to like the ACT terms of how

[2:11:43] the contract is going to be then then we

[2:11:45] have to go back into the

[2:11:47] session if we need to discuss those ex

[2:11:50] those actually

[2:11:54] because right now we're discussing in

[2:11:55] the MTH

[2:11:57] public no I I think we we just need to

[2:11:59] move forward with with resolution to

[2:12:02] draw down the money and then reallocate

[2:12:12] it Mr Williams what was your motion

[2:12:14] again for the

[2:12:16] 100 I say the way that Mr M phrase it it

[2:12:20] simplified that entire

[2:12:21] so we are

[2:12:23] making that's we have toy

[2:12:26] sorry okay no so was start was de oblig

[2:12:32] obligate from

[2:12:35] $500,000 that 358 420 so let me just for

[2:12:39] just the sake of clarity a resolution to

[2:12:41] De obligate the COC house allocation

[2:12:44] from 500,000 to

[2:12:48] 35843 that's a motion on the table I

[2:12:50] think move that do we have the ability

[2:12:54] to put any restrictions on that 3 then

[2:12:56] I'm going to then I'm going to ask for a

[2:12:58] restriction on the one the resolution

[2:13:00] also okay then I'll second

[2:13:02] it all I so then there's a

[2:13:07] resolution to modify c c house contract

[2:13:11] to

[2:13:12] allocate session for the modification of

[2:13:14] the contract do we have to do that

[2:13:16] that's a question for you well now

[2:13:17] you're just now now anything special

[2:13:21] meetings you don't worry about what came

[2:13:23] out of the committee

[2:13:25] it's called with a very limited

[2:13:32] agenda was

[2:13:34] that I was wondering if we're going to

[2:13:36] talk about amending their contract if

[2:13:37] that needs to be done in executive

[2:13:39] session that was my question for you

[2:13:40] talk about the terms of it then I think

[2:13:43] right now you're just going what the

[2:13:45] motion but the motion motion be we not

[2:13:47] defining what is going to be at this

[2:13:49] point in time that is yes the motion

[2:13:51] should be

[2:13:53] passed

[2:13:56] session so the resolution to modify Coco

[2:14:00] house contract to allocate

[2:14:01] [Music]

[2:14:04] 8,420 is that

[2:14:07] correct um to the summer you would

[2:14:11] program all in favor I Mr chairman are

[2:14:15] we in your committee meeting right now

[2:14:17] is that no this is I think this Finance

[2:14:19] that's what I'm asking yes yes is in

[2:14:21] your finance committee yes okay so then

[2:14:23] there's a

[2:14:24] resolution to authorize the purchase of

[2:14:27] a plow truck for

[2:14:31] 41,5 180 so second second all in favor I what else do we need I think we captur

[2:14:47] that I I can

[2:14:51] going into a special meeting don't have

[2:14:54] a

[2:14:59] report so a resolution authorizing the

[2:15:01] purchase of

[2:15:04] A5 6500 International CV

[2:15:11] previous resolution to a resolution

[2:15:13] authorizing the purchase of the 6500

[2:15:17] International CV

[2:15:23] with the

[2:15:29] 10.5 meeting not in the finance Comm

[2:15:48] that's and then this not how you the

[2:15:51] agenda then you'll follow the special

[2:15:53] that's how we said it because we had I I

[2:15:55] felt like we need discuss the issues in

[2:15:58] finance but the mayor says differently

[2:16:01] so but we still have to call special

[2:16:03] meeting at this point for the city

[2:16:04] council because right now at this point

[2:16:06] I call the um committee to

[2:16:09] so so I I still have on the table the

[2:17:41] council a special finance committee

[2:17:43] meeting with us to review and to

[2:17:45] identify appropriate appropriate

[2:17:47] solutions that will address the American

[2:17:50] Rescue plan act funding

[2:17:52] reappropriations this committee meeting

[2:17:54] will be followed by the council meeting

[2:17:55] to address the AR

[2:17:57] reallocation and this was addressed to

[2:17:59] this connect city

[2:18:02] council so there's a we have three items

[2:18:04] actually on our agenda um and the first

[2:18:08] item is resolution amending resolution

[2:18:11] number

[2:18:12] 2022 d224 to modify the funds of the for

[2:18:17] poops

[2:18:20] the modification amount would be to

[2:18:23] $358

[2:18:27] and 3,5 358

[2:18:32] 38,42 thank

[2:18:35] you so um I need to have a call

[2:18:41] that Mr

[2:18:43] yes

[2:18:48] Mr come back to me

[2:18:51] oh I'm sorry no there you can before

[2:18:55] that I'm sorry we can open this up for

[2:18:56] discussion and then the roll call you

[2:18:58] have discussion Mr

[2:18:59] Farley yeah I'm just a little confused

[2:19:02] as

[2:19:03] to I'm not uh in this agreement with

[2:19:08] making sure that we're making Sound

[2:19:10] phisical Decision here just as far as the process itself that's what

[2:19:15] we're doing that's where

[2:19:18] my confusion is at

[2:19:21] I getting out of the committee meeting

[2:19:25] then going into the special meeting

[2:19:28] but it was raised that we were in a

[2:19:30] special meeting initially so I'm just

[2:19:32] going to confuse about the process for

[2:19:34] that so I guess my main concern would be

[2:19:38] that any money that is recruited from

[2:19:44] uh kind of Youth facing agency that

[2:19:47] there is if we're recruitment money for

[2:19:49] that that will make it their also

[2:19:51] ensuring that that money is still being

[2:19:53] invested into you know use basing

[2:19:56] services that would be my discussion

[2:19:59] point on

[2:20:01] that is there any other

[2:20:07] discussion okay if not then

[2:20:10] will Mr Williams yes Mr Burley

[2:20:36] think I stay not really

[2:20:39] sure

[2:20:41] I I do I do have a question but I think

[2:20:44] we have to be executive session in terms

[2:20:46] of the terms of the contract right

[2:20:51] executive session right now we're voting

[2:20:53] on

[2:20:55] moving the the the obligation of funds

[2:20:58] reallocation funds that's what we're

[2:21:00] voting on right now and if you need to

[2:21:03] talk further about the contract then we

[2:21:05] would have to go into executive session

[2:21:07] but that's what we we had this this this

[2:21:09] discussion around the table what we're

[2:21:11] going to do and that that was moving

[2:21:12] second and moved out committee but right

[2:21:14] now we're voting on what was mve

[2:21:17] as I'll vote Yes

[2:21:21] Mr M yes Mr Toro

[2:21:26] no Mr

[2:21:35] manini this part

[2:21:43] yes so the motion um pass with um five

[2:21:49] yeses one

[2:21:51] extension and one

[2:21:54] no the second agenda item is a

[2:21:56] resolution to purchase authorizing the

[2:21:59] purchase of pile

[2:22:02] truck in the amount of

[2:22:10] 14158 should be

[3:19:52] Coco house par allocation funding

[3:19:54] brother the 2025 2026 Summer Youth

[3:19:56] Employment

[3:19:58] Program motion

[3:20:09] please is there any discussion on this

[3:20:12] item

[3:20:16] yeah so what I just want to kind of

[3:20:20] bring to the front is that

[3:20:23] I wanted to make sure that you know any

[3:20:27] again any money that is you know recruit

[3:20:29] will still maintain um and serve the

[3:20:32] purpose of serving the use the city

[3:20:36] um I'm concerned that even though this

[3:20:40] will do that I agree with it in theory I

[3:20:43] agree with it in practice I just don't

[3:20:45] agree with this as a the way of

[3:20:47] resolution I feel like we're saying that

[3:20:49] we're um the city council allocates

[3:20:52] $18,000

[3:20:54] $420 um of the 3508 ARA funding to the

[3:20:57] youth employment I feel like that is

[3:21:00] something that um you'd have to we'd

[3:21:03] have to change um by contract so I don't

[3:21:07] I'm just not I don't agree with the

[3:21:09] process of what we're doing it not that

[3:21:11] we necessarily dis work by way of

[3:21:14] resolution I don't think that that is

[3:21:15] the appropriate way to do it so that

[3:21:17] would be my conversation pce any

[3:21:20] discussion Mr Toro yes thank you so

[3:21:23] again the remaining of the 358 minus the

[3:21:26] 108 I'm not very comfortable leaving um

[3:21:30] in in the the Coco house uh for um

[3:21:35] salary uh which is in the contract which

[3:21:38] it's allotted for so I don't feel it's

[3:21:41] fiscally responsible of us to leave them

[3:21:44] that money when they haven't had um been

[3:21:46] able to spend it and do everything

[3:21:50] appropriately up to this point

[3:21:53] so just clarify you said you're not um

[3:21:56] you're not comfortable with the 108

[3:21:57] saying no no no uh 10 uh the 358 minus

[3:22:01] the 108 again right so I I don't know if

[3:22:04] it comes back to 312 we have a lot of

[3:22:06] different numbers today so yeah 2 2 yes

[3:22:12] 12 thank

[3:22:14] you is there any further discussion

[3:22:18] make another point I don't think that

[3:22:19] adding that oh sorry yeah I think that

[3:22:22] just adding that language and

[3:22:26] expectation for uh the Coco house to

[3:22:31] do something different with the money I

[3:22:34] think that that's almost I feel like

[3:22:35] that's a little arbitrary rule on our

[3:22:38] behalf so I

[3:22:41] just thank

[3:22:43] you any further discussion this

[3:22:47] so I just want to that um you know our

[3:22:50] goal is to make sure that what we were

[3:22:52] trying to is to make sure that the

[3:22:54] summer youth got employed I think this

[3:22:56] is part of the reason way to to get

[3:22:57] there um and additionally it does the

[3:23:00] resolution before us first that the

[3:23:02] mayor would enter into contract and

[3:23:04] execute all necessary documents to

[3:23:06] implement the program so um since Cal

[3:23:09] house is referenced and this would be

[3:23:10] through local house and he would be

[3:23:12] doing and signing those documents

[3:23:14] necessary documents do that

[3:23:24] um I agree with what you're saying as

[3:23:27] far as it does the language does clearly

[3:23:29] state that however prior to that it says

[3:23:31] that we are allocating

[3:23:34] $108,000 and of the

[3:23:38] $358,000 $420 so therefore there's a

[3:23:41] again you know there's an expectation

[3:23:43] for the Coco house to to do to use this

[3:23:47] for the Youth uh program and again I

[3:23:50] think that that is going to I think that

[3:23:54] that's arbitrary for us to put that rule

[3:23:55] in place prior

[3:23:58] to entering into a pro that's my concern

[3:24:01] but the thing I don't want to have these

[3:24:03] special

[3:24:04] rules for the pocal house that we're not

[3:24:07] holding

[3:24:09] other nonprofits too I just believe

[3:24:12] that's littleit arbitrary we've had like

[3:24:15] a linkage public discussion is the

[3:24:17] reason for why we've had to take this

[3:24:19] action just to be clear that um as a

[3:24:22] city we are under

[3:24:24] a de if we allocating the plans by

[3:24:27] December 31st um there's a spend down

[3:24:30] also for the um organization supended by

[3:24:33] the um by thee June 2026 so I feel like

[3:24:38] we've taking real measures to make sure

[3:24:40] that that happens and in additionally

[3:24:42] there's been a commitment to assist to

[3:24:44] make sure that the summer program

[3:24:46] happens

[3:24:46] and I know that M that's something that

[3:24:48] you definitely wanted so with with time

[3:24:51] not on our side we have I felt like

[3:24:55] really worked hard uh these last few

[3:24:56] hours to make every accommodation to

[3:24:59] both um make sure that Coco house is

[3:25:02] able to move forward in their

[3:25:04] programming and have salaries and based

[3:25:06] on their the performance to date and

[3:25:09] additionally making sure that this

[3:25:10] summer program so um I understand that

[3:25:13] not everyone can agree on on everything

[3:25:15] but I just want to make it very clear

[3:25:17] that um this is not just an arbitrary

[3:25:19] decision but one that's made by the fact

[3:25:21] that we have a deadline to face and

[3:25:24] additionally we want to also um

[3:25:27] accomplish certain things when it comes

[3:25:28] to youth in terms of summer employment

[3:25:31] and this based on what we have in front

[3:25:32] of us is um has been determined by the

[3:25:35] majority of the body as the best course

[3:25:37] of action thank you you're welcome Mr M

[3:25:42] yes I just want to comment on on this

[3:25:44] item here I mean this is the best option

[3:25:46] that we have on P fundaments this is for

[3:25:50] over a twoyear period which um allowing

[3:25:53] them to with our help from the city to

[3:25:56] spend

[3:25:57] $118,400 towards the you program we it's will be I it's impossible to get a

[3:26:05] contract signed by midnight Tuesday with

[3:26:09] the county or the school district with

[3:26:11] all the things in place that has to go

[3:26:14] through with the board meeting the

[3:26:16] legislative meeting or the manager has

[3:26:18] do some sort of special something there

[3:26:20] to get this done so by reallocating

[3:26:23] modifying the contract and put this

[3:26:25] money into the you Employment Program

[3:26:27] line and the city is going to help over

[3:26:30] house administ this program I think this

[3:26:32] is the best fit for this money at this

[3:26:35] point in time if we don't do this we

[3:26:38] spend a greater chance of losing this

[3:26:41] money so I think what we're doing here

[3:26:43] is the best way forward and all of us

[3:26:46] will have to chip in and help to make

[3:26:48] sure that the youth program under C

[3:26:50] house is uh is fully

[3:26:55] executed something there more discussion

[3:26:57] Mr far yeah so I want to just be again I

[3:27:00] don't think that u i I agree um and I

[3:27:04] understand how how we um what the

[3:27:06] there's a merit in in the action that's

[3:27:08] happening for clarity like my earlier my

[3:27:11] earlier extension was because of the

[3:27:14] process of how we're getting here

[3:27:16] not necessarily that we're here so I

[3:27:19] don't think that um if it's unrealistic

[3:27:21] for the school district the county

[3:27:23] another not whoever if the timeline is

[3:27:26] indeed is not on our side definitely not

[3:27:28] arguing that not debating that what I'm

[3:27:30] saying is by I feel like this

[3:27:32] stipulation by way of resolution instead

[3:27:35] of just way of contract I think is is is something that I just I'm not

[3:27:40] agreeable too again thank you all for

[3:27:42] hearing me

[3:27:44] out so just again clear the resolution

[3:27:47] is to for the mayor to enter into an

[3:27:48] agreement that is why the language is is

[3:27:50] in there so

[3:27:53] um we

[3:27:55] had L discussioni to this and so um is
