20
00:01:12,172 --> 00:01:12,805
I'll ask the city manager to

21
00:01:12,805 --> 00:01:14,607
introduce the first one.

22
00:01:14,607 --> 00:01:15,740
>> thank you, MR. Mayor and

23
00:01:15,740 --> 00:01:16,576

00:01:16,576 --> 00:01:18,978

the annual report for the

33
00:01:32,392 --> 00:01:33,893
authority.

34
00:01:33,893 --> 00:01:34,627
There's a lot of really great

35
00:01:34,627 --> 00:01:35,862
stuff happening there.

36
00:01:35,862 --> 00:01:37,831
As you know many of you have

37
00:01:37,831 --> 00:01:39,320
have been involved in the

38
00:01:39,320 --> 00:01:41,000
landscape action plan and we're

39
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:42,102
all anxiously awaiting the

40
00:01:42,102 --> 00:01:43,637
unveiling of the first part of

41
00:01:43,637 --> 00:01:44,604
the african landing memorial

42
00:01:44,604 --> 00:01:46,272
later this month.

43
00:01:46,272 --> 00:01:48,375
But there's so much more good to

44
00:01:48,375 --> 00:01:51,375
share, MR. Joseph and MR.

45
00:01:52,712 --> 00:01:54,681
Martin will be glad to impart to

46
00:01:54,681 --> 00:01:55,648
you all.

47
00:01:55,648 --> 00:01:57,648
>> good afternoon.

48
00:01:57,851 --> 00:01:59,851
>> good afternoon.

49
00:02:00,421 --> 00:02:02,756
We have to meet

50
00:02:02,756 --> 00:02:03,323
-- need a password

51
00:02:03,323 --> 00:02:04,524
apparently.

52
00:02:04,524 --> 00:02:06,293
Anyway I'm here just to greet

53
00:02:06,293 --> 00:02:09,396
you really and say thank you for

54
00:02:09,396 --> 00:02:09,731
taking an interest in fort

55
00:02:09,731 --> 00:02:11,310
monroe.

56
00:02:11,310 --> 00:02:12,132
I know it's an important part of

57
00:02:12,132 --> 00:02:14,334
hampton and what we do.

58
00:02:14,334 --> 00:02:16,838
Just two quick things: one to

59
00:02:16,838 --> 00:02:17,239
remind everybody about our

60
00:02:17,239 --> 00:02:19,139
governance.

61
00:02:19,139 --> 00:02:21,108
We are a board of 14 members.

62
00:02:21,108 --> 00:02:22,944
Two of your appointees are

63
00:02:22,944 --> 00:02:25,245
obviously mary and me.

64
00:02:25,245 --> 00:02:26,247
But the other twelve are

65
00:02:26,247 --> 00:02:27,248
controlled by the elections and

66
00:02:27,248 --> 00:02:28,983
by the governor.

67
00:02:28,983 --> 00:02:31,752
We have of course our delegate

68
00:02:31,752 --> 00:02:33,154
and state senator, martha is

69
00:02:33,154 --> 00:02:35,790
familiar with that job so

70
00:02:35,790 --> 00:02:36,791
delegate thorton and senator

71
00:02:36,791 --> 00:02:38,791
loch currently.

72
00:02:39,527 --> 00:02:41,362
We have two ex-physio members,

73
00:02:41,362 --> 00:02:42,897
secretaries of commerce and

74
00:02:42,897 --> 00:02:44,899
trade and of natural and

75
00:02:44,899 --> 00:02:46,501
historic resources much and then

76
00:02:46,501 --> 00:02:47,935
we have 8 citizen appointees

77
00:02:47,935 --> 00:02:50,204
that the governor appoints.

78
00:02:50,204 --> 00:02:51,439
To hampton has a small role to

79
00:02:51,439 --> 00:02:53,408
play, 2 out of 14 board members,

80
00:02:53,408 --> 00:02:54,509
but I can tell you that we more

81
00:02:54,509 --> 00:02:56,310
than carry our weight.

82
00:02:56,310 --> 00:02:57,578
When you appointed mary, I was a

83
00:02:57,578 --> 00:02:59,247
little concerned that we would

84
00:02:59,247 --> 00:03:01,149
be stretching her too thin.

85
00:03:01,149 --> 00:03:02,684
I can tell you she has been an

86
00:03:02,684 --> 00:03:02,984
incredible contractor to our

87
00:03:02,984 --> 00:03:04,984
board.

88
00:03:08,190 --> 00:03:10,459
For example, she helped behind

89
00:03:10,459 --> 00:03:11,793
the scenes with glen of his

90
00:03:11,793 --> 00:03:13,262
management of fort monroe,

91
00:03:13,262 --> 00:03:13,628
making it a more efficient

92
00:03:13,628 --> 00:03:15,197
operation.

93
00:03:15,197 --> 00:03:17,699
She also served on the search

94
00:03:17,699 --> 00:03:18,133
committee that brought us scott

95
00:03:18,133 --> 00:03:19,668
martin.

96
00:03:19,668 --> 00:03:21,536
Now, we can no longer refer to

97
00:03:21,536 --> 00:03:23,739
scott as our new ceo.

98
00:03:23,739 --> 00:03:25,774
He's been with us since JANUARY

99
00:03:25,774 --> 00:03:27,109
of 2025, over 18 months.

100
00:03:27,109 --> 00:03:29,511
You know, we're not supposed to

101
00:03:29,511 --> 00:03:31,580
compare our children or our

102
00:03:31,580 --> 00:03:31,947
CEOs, but glen had his

103
00:03:31,947 --> 00:03:33,947
strengths.

104
00:03:36,719 --> 00:03:37,954
Glen really got us in good

105
00:03:37,954 --> 00:03:39,954
standing when richmond,

106
00:03:40,456 --> 00:03:42,425
established our funding stream

107
00:03:42,425 --> 00:03:42,758
and has really helped us in that

108
00:03:42,758 --> 00:03:44,293
way.

109
00:03:44,293 --> 00:03:46,595
Scott brings a whole different

110
00:03:46,595 --> 00:03:49,765
set of talents to fort monroe.

111
00:03:49,765 --> 00:03:51,100
His background, we hired them

112
00:03:51,100 --> 00:03:52,501
from chattanooga parks and

113
00:03:52,501 --> 00:03:54,604
before that he had another urban

114
00:03:54,604 --> 00:03:56,806
parks job, so he comes with a

115
00:03:56,806 --> 00:03:58,407
lot of urban park experience.

116
00:03:58,407 --> 00:04:01,440
And I think as you'll see from

117
00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:02,612
his presentation, he has vision,

118
00:04:02,612 --> 00:04:04,881
he has enthusiasm and we look

119
00:04:04,881 --> 00:04:06,649
very much forward to the next

120
00:04:06,649 --> 00:04:07,840
phase of our success at fort

121
00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:09,840
monroe.

122
00:04:10,186 --> 00:04:10,920
So here is scott.

123
00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:12,422
>> thank you, jay.

124
00:04:12,422 --> 00:04:14,191
>> all right, scott, should we

125
00:04:14,191 --> 00:04:14,557
start clapping now or --

126
00:04:14,557 --> 00:04:15,491
>> no.

127
00:04:15,491 --> 00:04:17,600
[Laughter]

128
00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:18,362
The honeymoon will end.

129
00:04:18,362 --> 00:04:20,762
It will be fine.

130
00:04:20,830 --> 00:04:22,866
I would say good things about

131
00:04:22,866 --> 00:04:23,734
mary and I share one

132
00:04:23,734 --> 00:04:25,802
commonality, we're both children

133
00:04:25,802 --> 00:04:26,904
of city managers so we are

134
00:04:26,904 --> 00:04:28,539
emotionally supported or

135
00:04:28,539 --> 00:04:29,539
stunted, I'll let you take that

136
00:04:29,539 --> 00:04:31,107
however you want to.

137
00:04:31,107 --> 00:04:33,243
i'm going to run you through

138
00:04:33,243 --> 00:04:33,577
what is now our annual report to

139
00:04:33,577 --> 00:04:35,345
you.

140
00:04:35,345 --> 00:04:35,646
There's no action item for you

141
00:04:35,646 --> 00:04:37,646
here.

142
00:04:38,115 --> 00:04:39,160
I'm not expecting any sort of

143
00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:39,816
response, other than really

144
00:04:39,816 --> 00:04:41,118
absorption about what we're

145
00:04:41,118 --> 00:04:41,985
working on, with future

146
00:04:41,985 --> 00:04:43,985
engagement to come.

147
00:04:44,540 --> 00:04:45,723
So apologies in advance, but

148
00:04:45,723 --> 00:04:47,257
those of y'all who have been

149
00:04:47,257 --> 00:04:48,659
stuck with me know that I will

150
00:04:48,659 --> 00:04:50,395
throw a thousand slides at you

151
00:04:50,395 --> 00:04:51,729
and if you hold onto one or two

152
00:04:51,729 --> 00:04:53,300
things you're doing pretty good

153
00:04:53,300 --> 00:04:54,331
but hopefully there's something

154
00:04:54,331 --> 00:04:55,132
for each person so I'm going to

155
00:04:55,132 --> 00:04:56,867
jump right in.

156
00:04:56,867 --> 00:04:57,168
We have 1.3 million visits a

157
00:04:57,168 --> 00:04:59,168
year.

158
00:05:00,380 --> 00:05:00,772
That's why this work and this

159
00:05:00,772 --> 00:05:01,238
collaboration with you means so

160
00:05:01,238 --> 00:05:02,573
much to us.

161
00:05:02,573 --> 00:05:03,140
There's a lot of things going on

162
00:05:03,140 --> 00:05:04,976
as well.

163
00:05:04,976 --> 00:05:06,578
I sent you a deck earlier, I

164
00:05:06,578 --> 00:05:08,279
won't repeat it, you can read as

165
00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:10,448
well as I can but I think the

166
00:05:10,448 --> 00:05:12,216
most transformational and the

167
00:05:12,216 --> 00:05:13,485
adaptive reuse underway now for

168
00:05:13,485 --> 00:05:15,920
residence at fort monroe, when

169
00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:17,788
you're welcoming, 300, 350 new

170
00:05:17,788 --> 00:05:18,756
residents to hampton at fort

171
00:05:18,756 --> 00:05:20,625
monroe through buildings like

172
00:05:20,625 --> 00:05:21,993
this that are now being adaptbly

173
00:05:21,993 --> 00:05:23,993
re-used and activated.

174
00:05:24,280 --> 00:05:26,980
The first building on the

175
00:05:26,980 --> 00:05:27,865
entryway is now fully leased.

176
00:05:27,865 --> 00:05:29,400
You probably noticed folks

177
00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:30,902
sitting there.

178
00:05:30,902 --> 00:05:32,470
Building 100, that's the same

179
00:05:32,470 --> 00:05:34,500
architect that did the library

180
00:05:34,500 --> 00:05:35,206
of congress did that building.

181
00:05:35,206 --> 00:05:37,275
That will become occupied

182
00:05:37,275 --> 00:05:38,577
mid-this month, fully leased.

183
00:05:38,577 --> 00:05:39,577
Then this coming year, we're

184
00:05:39,577 --> 00:05:40,445
working through your planning

185
00:05:40,445 --> 00:05:41,880
and building departments already

186
00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:43,281
for permits, but the medical

187
00:05:43,281 --> 00:05:44,382
arts building and the arsenal

188
00:05:44,382 --> 00:05:44,816
will begin their redevelopment

189
00:05:44,816 --> 00:05:46,816
as well.

190
00:05:46,919 --> 00:05:48,319
All in, you're looking at

191
00:05:48,319 --> 00:05:49,988
$45 million of private

192
00:05:49,988 --> 00:05:50,322
investment in hampton for

193
00:05:50,322 --> 00:05:51,523
housing.

194
00:05:51,523 --> 00:05:53,358
I think any city would be happy

195
00:05:53,358 --> 00:05:55,327
to have that, and it was not a

196
00:05:55,327 --> 00:05:57,730
light step to move that fast,

197
00:05:57,730 --> 00:05:59,498
and mary and jay and all the

198
00:05:59,498 --> 00:06:00,366
folks before me deserve all the

199
00:06:00,366 --> 00:06:01,990
credit.

200
00:06:01,990 --> 00:06:03,435
Additionally in the state budget

201
00:06:03,435 --> 00:06:04,737
this year I'm proud to report

202
00:06:04,737 --> 00:06:06,371
senator loch is senator loch,

203
00:06:06,371 --> 00:06:07,807
put her in bubble wrap, whatever

204
00:06:07,807 --> 00:06:09,341
we have to do.

205
00:06:09,341 --> 00:06:11,144
She's rock star for us.

206
00:06:11,144 --> 00:06:12,811
She brought home $12 million to

207
00:06:12,811 --> 00:06:14,790
bring utilities to the inner

208
00:06:14,790 --> 00:06:15,682
fourth, that means those

209
00:06:15,682 --> 00:06:17,820
buildings can finally be used

210
00:06:17,820 --> 00:06:20,820
once the utilities are there.

211
00:06:20,853 --> 00:06:22,540
They can't be yet, no matter how

212
00:06:22,540 --> 00:06:23,122
many great ideas I show you.

213
00:06:23,122 --> 00:06:25,624
I think everyone in the crowd

214
00:06:25,624 --> 00:06:28,161
who has been to the beach will

215
00:06:28,161 --> 00:06:30,262
appreciate this, we'll put a

216
00:06:30,262 --> 00:06:33,862
bathroom at the beach instead of

217
00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:37,136
a port-a-john, with a cafe

218
00:06:37,136 --> 00:06:38,305
facility and then the landscape

219
00:06:38,305 --> 00:06:40,106
action plan that I'll talk to

220
00:06:40,106 --> 00:06:42,106
you about today.

221
00:06:42,475 --> 00:06:43,142
As you keep pushing the

222
00:06:43,142 --> 00:06:44,577
specialness of hampton we're

223
00:06:44,577 --> 00:06:45,912
seeing the fruits of your labor,

224
00:06:45,912 --> 00:06:47,130
and I can't say enough about

225
00:06:47,130 --> 00:06:48,882
mary and your team.

226
00:06:48,882 --> 00:06:49,916
We're seeing attendance up

227
00:06:49,916 --> 00:06:51,384
across the boards.

228
00:06:51,384 --> 00:06:53,453
You can read the stats as well

229
00:06:53,453 --> 00:06:54,754
as I do but folks are coming out

230
00:06:54,754 --> 00:06:56,756
and they're spending time I

231
00:06:56,756 --> 00:06:57,957
would be remiss if I didn't

232
00:06:57,957 --> 00:06:58,325
spend the african landing

233
00:06:58,325 --> 00:07:00,325
memorial.

234
00:07:00,326 --> 00:07:02,726
It's finding its footing.

235
00:07:02,863 --> 00:07:04,970
I have seen graduation photos,

236
00:07:04,970 --> 00:07:06,366
proposals, I've seen people cry,

237
00:07:06,366 --> 00:07:08,335
i've seen people come there just

238
00:07:08,335 --> 00:07:10,404
to touch the stones.

239
00:07:10,404 --> 00:07:11,405
I've need knucklehead

240
00:07:11,405 --> 00:07:12,606
skateboarders that I chase off,

241
00:07:12,606 --> 00:07:15,800
you get the full range.

242
00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:16,310
But the community is finding the

243
00:07:16,310 --> 00:07:18,846
memorial and we look forward to

244
00:07:18,846 --> 00:07:21,448
the next phase of at, and I hope

245
00:07:21,448 --> 00:07:23,851
you will join us on the 29th

246
00:07:23,851 --> 00:07:24,619
when the first sculpture arrives

247
00:07:24,619 --> 00:07:25,520
and at that point, y'all when

248
00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:27,121
it's going to change.

249
00:07:27,121 --> 00:07:28,221
When the memorial goes vertical

250
00:07:28,221 --> 00:07:29,756
and the figures arrive and

251
00:07:29,756 --> 00:07:30,857
stories and names find their

252
00:07:30,857 --> 00:07:31,926
place, let's watch how the

253
00:07:31,926 --> 00:07:32,960
nation responds to this space.

254
00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:34,610
It's going to be a very

255
00:07:34,610 --> 00:07:35,696
interesting and dynamic

256
00:07:35,696 --> 00:07:36,463
experience over the next couple

257
00:07:36,463 --> 00:07:37,998
of years.

258
00:07:37,998 --> 00:07:39,634
But mainly what I want to talk

259
00:07:39,634 --> 00:07:40,835
to y'all today about is the

260
00:07:40,835 --> 00:07:42,136
landscape action plan and the

261
00:07:42,136 --> 00:07:44,536
work we've been doing.

262
00:07:45,500 --> 00:07:46,974
We'll zoom out to 100,000-foot

263
00:07:46,974 --> 00:07:47,842
and then I promise we'll come

264
00:07:47,842 --> 00:07:49,243
down to at least 20,000.

265
00:07:49,243 --> 00:07:50,144
The future is urban, no matter

266
00:07:50,144 --> 00:07:51,646
what anyone says.

267
00:07:51,646 --> 00:07:53,314
The challenge is not a lot of

268
00:07:53,314 --> 00:07:55,282
folks at state government think

269
00:07:55,282 --> 00:07:56,684
about urban every day, where

270
00:07:56,684 --> 00:07:58,186
they wake up and say how are

271
00:07:58,186 --> 00:07:59,520
these areas functioning.

272
00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:00,755
This is our one chance to do

273
00:08:00,755 --> 00:08:01,957
that as the commonwealth of

274
00:08:01,957 --> 00:08:04,359
virginia, it's a unique deal.

275
00:08:04,359 --> 00:08:06,328
We sit in the 37th largest

276
00:08:06,328 --> 00:08:07,362
city in the nation if you take

277
00:08:07,362 --> 00:08:09,630
hampton roads as a city.

278
00:08:09,630 --> 00:08:11,265
And I can pull any best places

279
00:08:11,265 --> 00:08:12,330
to live, I imagine you all get

280
00:08:12,330 --> 00:08:13,902
sucked into these as much as I

281
00:08:13,902 --> 00:08:15,337
do when they come out, they're

282
00:08:15,337 --> 00:08:17,337
click bait.

283
00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:20,342
But -- they are click bait.

284
00:08:20,342 --> 00:08:21,409
Moniquele came out with their

285
00:08:21,409 --> 00:08:21,943
top 20 best places to live in

286
00:08:21,943 --> 00:08:23,943
the world.

287
00:08:23,979 --> 00:08:25,948
the yellow ones, 14 of the top

288
00:08:25,948 --> 00:08:27,782
20 are port cities.

289
00:08:27,782 --> 00:08:29,351
Something happens in cities like

290
00:08:29,351 --> 00:08:30,520
ours where ports are and

291
00:08:30,520 --> 00:08:31,920
commerce meets water.

292
00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:33,550
They are the best places to live

293
00:08:33,550 --> 00:08:34,690
if we get it right.

294
00:08:34,690 --> 00:08:37,920
And we think we've got a great

295
00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:39,195
chance to deploy fort monroe,

296
00:08:39,195 --> 00:08:41,363
much like you've seen at the

297
00:08:41,363 --> 00:08:42,165
press idioin san francisco and

298
00:08:42,165 --> 00:08:43,699
governors aisle in new york and

299
00:08:43,699 --> 00:08:44,901
this is our flag and it sits in

300
00:08:44,901 --> 00:08:46,202
hampton so we're all very

301
00:08:46,202 --> 00:08:47,336
fortunate and if we're being

302
00:08:47,336 --> 00:08:48,871
honest, we're all probably a

303
00:08:48,871 --> 00:08:50,706
little bit overwhelmed and

304
00:08:50,706 --> 00:08:52,141
humbled by this landscape and

305
00:08:52,141 --> 00:08:53,809
the stories it carries.

306
00:08:53,809 --> 00:08:55,745
And the big stuff here to finish

307
00:08:55,745 --> 00:08:57,279
up and set you up is the most

308
00:08:57,279 --> 00:08:58,847
important thing to get these

309
00:08:58,847 --> 00:09:00,816
projects done isn't bricks,

310
00:09:00,816 --> 00:09:01,550
isn't mortar, isn't a listing,

311
00:09:01,550 --> 00:09:02,685
it's the people.

312
00:09:02,685 --> 00:09:03,752
You've got to have the right

313
00:09:03,752 --> 00:09:04,753
people at the right time asking

314
00:09:04,753 --> 00:09:05,388
the right questions for the

315
00:09:05,388 --> 00:09:06,489
right place.

316
00:09:06,489 --> 00:09:07,590
And we think we do.

317
00:09:07,590 --> 00:09:08,792
And thank you and thank you mary

318
00:09:08,792 --> 00:09:10,326
and everyone else for being the

319
00:09:10,326 --> 00:09:11,627
right people to advance us.

320
00:09:11,627 --> 00:09:14,130
The first way we did that was

321
00:09:14,130 --> 00:09:15,898
the selection of hargrave jones,

322
00:09:15,898 --> 00:09:18,340
the architects that design the

323
00:09:18,340 --> 00:09:19,169
next iteration of fort monroe.

324
00:09:19,169 --> 00:09:20,503
We picked them I think mary

325
00:09:20,503 --> 00:09:22,373
would agree in large part

326
00:09:22,373 --> 00:09:22,738
because of their success at this

327
00:09:22,738 --> 00:09:24,374
location.

328
00:09:24,374 --> 00:09:25,800
That's the presidio in san

329
00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:26,976
francisco.

330
00:09:26,976 --> 00:09:28,611
In 1995 when it ceased being a

331
00:09:28,611 --> 00:09:30,146
military base and rolled into

332
00:09:30,146 --> 00:09:31,715
what a public landscape is, this

333
00:09:31,715 --> 00:09:35,315
is the apprentice I had so

334
00:09:35,384 --> 00:09:36,719
presidio today.

335
00:09:36,719 --> 00:09:37,587
You're looking at the number 1

336
00:09:37,587 --> 00:09:38,255
visited national park in the

337
00:09:38,255 --> 00:09:39,789
national park system.

338
00:09:39,789 --> 00:09:41,591
You're looking at a unit of the

339
00:09:41,591 --> 00:09:42,192
national park that netted

340
00:09:42,192 --> 00:09:43,394
$18 million last year.

341
00:09:43,394 --> 00:09:45,794
It's different, san francisco,

342
00:09:47,197 --> 00:09:49,700
you throw a rock, you hit a

343
00:09:49,700 --> 00:09:50,367
hedge fund manager worth a

344
00:09:50,367 --> 00:09:51,668
billion dollars.

345
00:09:51,668 --> 00:09:52,102
They roll in a different

346
00:09:52,102 --> 00:09:54,102
neighborhood.

347
00:09:54,405 --> 00:09:56,730
But the lessons are absolutely

348
00:09:56,730 --> 00:09:59,730
applicable to what we're doing

349
00:09:59,243 --> 00:10:00,545
here and we felt har graves

350
00:10:00,545 --> 00:10:01,645
jones would bring those lessons

351
00:10:01,645 --> 00:10:04,282
and bring them to us.

352
00:10:04,282 --> 00:10:04,581
We had our jury competition last

353
00:10:04,581 --> 00:10:06,581
year.

354
00:10:07,451 --> 00:10:08,218
We started the process in

355
00:10:08,218 --> 00:10:09,420
JANUARY.

356
00:10:09,420 --> 00:10:10,387
We're on track to have the

357
00:10:10,387 --> 00:10:12,256
trustees in SEPTEMBER and we're

358
00:10:12,256 --> 00:10:13,791
on target to deliver this to the

359
00:10:13,791 --> 00:10:15,791
governor in DECEMBER.

360
00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:18,960
Fun part of our project:

361
00:10:19,630 --> 00:10:21,630
private investors, public

362
00:10:21,899 --> 00:10:23,200
investors, philanthropists, city

363
00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:24,568
councils, you all want to know

364
00:10:24,568 --> 00:10:25,936
there's consistency, is it going

365
00:10:25,936 --> 00:10:26,704
to last, you ask yourself that

366
00:10:26,704 --> 00:10:28,138
every day.

367
00:10:28,138 --> 00:10:29,106
The fun thing is we will ask

368
00:10:29,106 --> 00:10:29,974
because there's one person in

369
00:10:29,974 --> 00:10:31,742
virginia who has the authority

370
00:10:31,742 --> 00:10:33,511
to sign the deed restriction and

371
00:10:33,511 --> 00:10:34,779
master plan for fort monroe and

372
00:10:34,779 --> 00:10:35,580
I know where she goes to work

373
00:10:35,580 --> 00:10:37,580
every single day.

374
00:10:38,416 --> 00:10:39,750
So we will be in governor spam

375
00:10:39,750 --> 00:10:41,319
burger's office with the master

376
00:10:41,319 --> 00:10:42,187
plan and when she sirens it

377
00:10:42,187 --> 00:10:44,187
we're

378
00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:50,261
signs it,we're locked in.

379
00:10:50,261 --> 00:10:52,960
That's a very powerful position

380
00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:53,198
to be in as I'm sure leonard

381
00:10:53,198 --> 00:10:53,598
would say in economic

382
00:10:53,598 --> 00:10:55,598
development.

383
00:10:56,501 --> 00:10:58,904
These are the key themes.

384
00:10:58,904 --> 00:11:00,438
We've had nearly 1500 folks

385
00:11:00,438 --> 00:11:03,274
engage us around the community

386
00:11:03,274 --> 00:11:03,641
in meetings and public

387
00:11:03,641 --> 00:11:05,641
workshops.

388
00:11:06,111 --> 00:11:06,878
No surprise, these are all the

389
00:11:06,878 --> 00:11:09,714
things people tell us they want

390
00:11:09,714 --> 00:11:11,249
to see done.

391
00:11:11,249 --> 00:11:12,350
They match in many ways the

392
00:11:12,350 --> 00:11:14,753
screening I can plan you already

393
00:11:14,753 --> 00:11:15,621
have so there's a consistent

394
00:11:15,621 --> 00:11:16,200
hampton language that rolls

395
00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:17,489
throughout.

396
00:11:17,489 --> 00:11:18,690
We have to map in the economics

397
00:11:18,690 --> 00:11:19,791
because this doesn't work if it

398
00:11:19,791 --> 00:11:21,193
doesn't pencil out.

399
00:11:21,193 --> 00:11:24,620
That's where they live, how

400
00:11:24,620 --> 00:11:26,733
people work, how we align with

401
00:11:26,733 --> 00:11:27,700
leonard's team, how we fit into

402
00:11:27,700 --> 00:11:28,668
the ecosystem of economic

403
00:11:28,668 --> 00:11:29,680
development, how we fit into

404
00:11:29,680 --> 00:11:30,636
programing.

405
00:11:30,636 --> 00:11:31,637
And then our trustees were asked

406
00:11:31,637 --> 00:11:33,138
to tell us where they want to

407
00:11:33,138 --> 00:11:33,605
go, because they're charged with

408
00:11:33,605 --> 00:11:34,707
leadership.

409
00:11:34,707 --> 00:11:37,110
This was the word exercise we

410
00:11:37,110 --> 00:11:38,110
did with the trustees when we

411
00:11:38,110 --> 00:11:39,745
said, what are the important

412
00:11:39,745 --> 00:11:40,790
things to emphasize at fort

413
00:11:40,790 --> 00:11:41,614
monroe.

414
00:11:41,614 --> 00:11:43,349
And I want to share this because

415
00:11:43,349 --> 00:11:44,383
y'all have done these word maps

416
00:11:44,383 --> 00:11:45,384
I'm sure in other planning

417
00:11:45,384 --> 00:11:47,119
exercises you have done.

418
00:11:47,119 --> 00:11:47,987
The centrality of history and

419
00:11:47,987 --> 00:11:49,956
specialness around both black

420
00:11:49,956 --> 00:11:50,523
history but also around ecology

421
00:11:50,523 --> 00:11:51,791
just rang true.

422
00:11:51,791 --> 00:11:53,459
We're starting to think about

423
00:11:53,459 --> 00:11:54,260
how this landscape speaks to the

424
00:11:54,260 --> 00:11:55,895
nation going forward.

425
00:11:55,895 --> 00:11:56,896
And we found this a great

426
00:11:56,896 --> 00:11:58,431
launching point for design, to

427
00:11:58,431 --> 00:12:00,399
have this sort of continuity

428
00:12:00,399 --> 00:12:01,601
from our trustees.

429
00:12:01,601 --> 00:12:02,350
National park service is

430
00:12:02,350 --> 00:12:03,769
involved.

431
00:12:03,769 --> 00:12:05,338
Our plan is reaching from our

432
00:12:05,338 --> 00:12:05,638
land to national park service

433
00:12:05,638 --> 00:12:07,173
land.

434
00:12:07,173 --> 00:12:08,708
I had to put this language up at

435
00:12:08,708 --> 00:12:09,809
their request.

436
00:12:09,809 --> 00:12:11,430
The park service cannot commit

437
00:12:11,430 --> 00:12:11,377
to any of the plans we're

438
00:12:11,377 --> 00:12:12,779
drawing.

439
00:12:12,779 --> 00:12:13,112
The commonwealth of virginia is

440
00:12:13,112 --> 00:12:14,800
leading.

441
00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:15,748
We hope they follow.

442
00:12:15,748 --> 00:12:16,483
But nothing we propose is

443
00:12:16,483 --> 00:12:16,883
something they can commit to at

444
00:12:16,883 --> 00:12:18,883
this time.

445
00:12:19,586 --> 00:12:21,870
They are in lock step with us.

446
00:12:21,870 --> 00:12:22,856
Some of y'all were around during

447
00:12:22,856 --> 00:12:23,220
the time fort monroe was

448
00:12:23,220 --> 00:12:23,957
created.

449
00:12:23,957 --> 00:12:25,692
If you remember the property

450
00:12:25,692 --> 00:12:27,594
lines on where the national park

451
00:12:27,594 --> 00:12:28,862
service is and the commonwealth

452
00:12:28,862 --> 00:12:30,163
is, those were political

453
00:12:30,163 --> 00:12:31,832
decisions of a political

454
00:12:31,832 --> 00:12:33,800
negotiation, not about the

455
00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:35,435
resource, how a visitor

456
00:12:35,435 --> 00:12:36,970
experiences the site or a

457
00:12:36,970 --> 00:12:38,939
seagull experiences the site.

458
00:12:38,939 --> 00:12:40,908
I've interviewed the seagulls,

459
00:12:40,908 --> 00:12:41,642
they don't know if they're on

460
00:12:41,642 --> 00:12:42,642
commonwealth land or

461
00:12:42,642 --> 00:12:43,978
commonwealth of virginia land,

462
00:12:43,978 --> 00:12:45,146
they don't care.

463
00:12:45,146 --> 00:12:46,914
So when we bring it all together

464
00:12:46,914 --> 00:12:47,248
I want to show you what's going

465
00:12:47,248 --> 00:12:49,216
on.

466
00:12:49,216 --> 00:12:51,185
These are 20% drawings and we'll

467
00:12:51,185 --> 00:12:52,530
zip through them and show you

468
00:12:52,530 --> 00:12:54,210
some precedents about thinking

469
00:12:54,210 --> 00:12:54,455
about the advancement of fort

470
00:12:54,455 --> 00:12:55,890
monroe.

471
00:12:55,890 --> 00:12:56,657
First we start with

472
00:12:56,657 --> 00:12:58,192
connectivity.

473
00:12:58,192 --> 00:13:00,494
Connectivity for us begins with

474
00:13:00,494 --> 00:13:03,330
pipes and I'm sure this group

475
00:13:03,330 --> 00:13:03,697
has heard a lot about our

476
00:13:03,697 --> 00:13:05,332
problems.

477
00:13:05,332 --> 00:13:08,336
We had a problem at mill creek.

478
00:13:08,336 --> 00:13:09,905
We got to get the pipes right.

479
00:13:09,905 --> 00:13:10,904
We have about $27 million in the

480
00:13:10,904 --> 00:13:11,906
bank right now and projects

481
00:13:11,906 --> 00:13:12,473
being designed to take care of

482
00:13:12,473 --> 00:13:13,975
the utilities.

483
00:13:13,975 --> 00:13:15,510
We take care of utilities, we

484
00:13:15,510 --> 00:13:16,711
then can come above ground.

485
00:13:16,711 --> 00:13:17,579
The next then becomes the above

486
00:13:17,579 --> 00:13:18,579
ground stuff, which is what

487
00:13:18,579 --> 00:13:20,979
people are interested in.

488
00:13:21,182 --> 00:13:21,515
How do vehicles move around fort

489
00:13:21,515 --> 00:13:23,418
monroe?

490
00:13:23,418 --> 00:13:23,951
The army moved them around one

491
00:13:23,951 --> 00:13:25,353
way.

492
00:13:25,353 --> 00:13:26,887
We don't need to move them

493
00:13:26,887 --> 00:13:27,155
around the same way the army

494
00:13:27,155 --> 00:13:28,900
did.

495
00:13:28,900 --> 00:13:29,624
Nor should we.

496
00:13:29,624 --> 00:13:31,259
They were worried about quickly

497
00:13:31,259 --> 00:13:32,761
getting from a to b.

498
00:13:32,761 --> 00:13:34,662
We don't do that.

499
00:13:34,662 --> 00:13:35,664
Public landscapes is about how

500
00:13:35,664 --> 00:13:37,298
it makes you feel.

501
00:13:37,298 --> 00:13:39,600
This is the current look, y'all

502
00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:40,902
have probably been out there and

503
00:13:40,902 --> 00:13:41,203
seen fenwick as it looks like

504
00:13:41,203 --> 00:13:42,237
this.

505
00:13:42,237 --> 00:13:43,872
This is how it's going to look

506
00:13:43,872 --> 00:13:45,307
when we're done with it.

507
00:13:45,307 --> 00:13:47,509
This is about a landscape that

508
00:13:47,509 --> 00:13:49,478
is now changing.

509
00:13:49,478 --> 00:13:49,845
Everything is about the

510
00:13:49,845 --> 00:13:51,790
performed.

511
00:13:51,790 --> 00:13:53,281
We're going to build in rational

512
00:13:53,281 --> 00:13:54,916
routes so you don't have to

513
00:13:54,916 --> 00:13:56,685
crossroads with a stroller or

514
00:13:56,685 --> 00:13:57,652
someone learning to drive a bike

515
00:13:57,652 --> 00:13:58,420
or you can move in a circle

516
00:13:58,420 --> 00:14:00,420
around the site.

517
00:14:00,522 --> 00:14:01,156
How do we move pedestrians and

518
00:14:01,156 --> 00:14:02,391
bikes around?

519
00:14:02,391 --> 00:14:04,227
The army was fine with this.

520
00:14:04,227 --> 00:14:04,527
This is a fine service for the

521
00:14:04,527 --> 00:14:05,862
army.

522
00:14:05,862 --> 00:14:07,831
We think this is a higher level

523
00:14:07,831 --> 00:14:10,132
service for our landscape people

524
00:14:10,132 --> 00:14:10,999
that want to spend in and

525
00:14:10,999 --> 00:14:11,867
businesses that would want to

526
00:14:11,867 --> 00:14:13,636
invest in.

527
00:14:13,636 --> 00:14:15,204
And that continues on with

528
00:14:15,204 --> 00:14:15,838
boardwalk languages I'm see us

529
00:14:15,838 --> 00:14:17,838
deploy throughout.

530
00:14:24,514 --> 00:14:25,915
Hardscape is a big one for us.

531
00:14:25,915 --> 00:14:26,915
Form -- a fifth of fort monroe

532
00:14:26,915 --> 00:14:28,350
is paved and people think we

533
00:14:28,350 --> 00:14:30,750
have a flooding problem.

534
00:14:40,397 --> 00:14:42,640
No, we have a pavement problem.

535
00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:42,398
We have a need forrest room and

536
00:14:42,398 --> 00:14:44,333
parking.

537
00:14:44,333 --> 00:14:45,435
so while we eliminate parking in

538
00:14:45,435 --> 00:14:47,103
someplaces, you put it where you

539
00:14:47,103 --> 00:14:48,939
need it in others.

540
00:14:48,939 --> 00:14:52,509
I know y'all hear it, you need

541
00:14:52,509 --> 00:14:55,110
more parking at fort monroement

542
00:14:55,110 --> 00:14:56,513
I'm here to tell you do not need

543
00:14:56,513 --> 00:14:57,914
more park, you need the right

544
00:14:57,914 --> 00:14:59,149
parking at fort monroe.

545
00:14:59,149 --> 00:15:00,284
We can design our way through

546
00:15:00,284 --> 00:15:02,284
that, with restrooms.

547
00:15:02,686 --> 00:15:03,119
We want to build around the

548
00:15:03,119 --> 00:15:04,200
destinations.

549
00:15:04,200 --> 00:15:05,880
It's everything from the

550
00:15:05,880 --> 00:15:06,857
historical sites you know, the

551
00:15:06,857 --> 00:15:08,491
national historic landmark, and

552
00:15:08,491 --> 00:15:09,926
the history sites that are lost.

553
00:15:09,926 --> 00:15:10,461
African landing memorial is a

554
00:15:10,461 --> 00:15:12,950
perfect example.

555
00:15:12,950 --> 00:15:13,396
There is nothing in the

556
00:15:13,396 --> 00:15:15,650
landscape that told y'all 20

557
00:15:15,650 --> 00:15:15,565
years ago the african landing

558
00:15:15,565 --> 00:15:16,367
happened there.

559
00:15:16,367 --> 00:15:18,367
There is now.

560
00:15:18,669 --> 00:15:19,870
There's nothing on our site to

561
00:15:19,870 --> 00:15:20,136
tells the native american story

562
00:15:20,136 --> 00:15:21,171
yet.

563
00:15:21,171 --> 00:15:22,272
There will be in the future.

564
00:15:22,272 --> 00:15:23,607
There's nothing that talks about

565
00:15:23,607 --> 00:15:25,800
the bird migration.

566
00:15:25,800 --> 00:15:27,411
There will be in the future.

567
00:15:27,411 --> 00:15:28,412
So it's past and present for

568
00:15:28,412 --> 00:15:29,212
connectivity in history that we

569
00:15:29,212 --> 00:15:31,212
draw forward.

570
00:15:32,482 --> 00:15:33,784
And that begins with us, with

571
00:15:33,784 --> 00:15:34,151
adaptive reuse of existing

572
00:15:34,151 --> 00:15:35,219
buildings.

573
00:15:35,219 --> 00:15:36,720
One of the first moves we're

574
00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:38,156
going to hear from this plan is

575
00:15:38,156 --> 00:15:39,456
no new buildings until we fill

576
00:15:39,456 --> 00:15:40,557
our existing buildings and we're

577
00:15:40,557 --> 00:15:41,759
probably going to do some

578
00:15:41,759 --> 00:15:42,260
removal of buildings along the

579
00:15:42,260 --> 00:15:42,993
way.

580
00:15:42,993 --> 00:15:43,594
The market isn't there to

581
00:15:43,594 --> 00:15:45,163
support that much more.

582
00:15:45,163 --> 00:15:46,164
And that's good, we don't have

583
00:15:46,164 --> 00:15:48,166
the budget to sustain it.

584
00:15:48,166 --> 00:15:49,135
We can be adults about this and

585
00:15:49,135 --> 00:15:50,769
make the hard decisions.

586
00:15:50,769 --> 00:15:52,403
And then find the places where

587
00:15:52,403 --> 00:15:52,670
the private investors wanting to

588
00:15:52,670 --> 00:15:54,380
in.

589
00:15:54,380 --> 00:15:55,573
Water and beach is everything,

590
00:15:55,573 --> 00:15:56,574
about 70% of our visitors at

591
00:15:56,574 --> 00:15:58,800
some point encounter water and

592
00:15:58,800 --> 00:15:58,876
the beach so how do we bring

593
00:15:58,876 --> 00:16:00,745
that forward?

594
00:16:00,745 --> 00:16:02,313
And our board, the trustees have

595
00:16:02,313 --> 00:16:04,716
been keenly focused on this.

596
00:16:04,716 --> 00:16:05,984
We did an exercise and asked

597
00:16:05,984 --> 00:16:07,752
what was important to them and

598
00:16:07,752 --> 00:16:09,821
it was water, water, water.

599
00:16:09,821 --> 00:16:12,657
How do we design amenities like

600
00:16:12,657 --> 00:16:13,992
this that allow you to enjoy it

601
00:16:13,992 --> 00:16:15,861
safely, cleanly and go home

602
00:16:15,861 --> 00:16:18,296
without sand between your toes?

603
00:16:18,296 --> 00:16:19,797
The sea walls don't have to be

604
00:16:19,797 --> 00:16:21,332
corps of engineers, we can

605
00:16:21,332 --> 00:16:22,767
design sea walls that allow

606
00:16:22,767 --> 00:16:23,735
people to get in the water but

607
00:16:23,735 --> 00:16:24,703
also protect our assets.

608
00:16:24,703 --> 00:16:26,703
And then residential.

609
00:16:26,838 --> 00:16:28,720
We've got that great grain, the

610
00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:29,374
historic village there, that can

611
00:16:29,374 --> 00:16:30,709
be infilled with appropriate

612
00:16:30,709 --> 00:16:32,545
housing.

613
00:16:32,545 --> 00:16:33,712
We're using charles son and

614
00:16:33,712 --> 00:16:34,846
savannah as the model.

615
00:16:34,846 --> 00:16:36,381
It can receive infill.

616
00:16:36,381 --> 00:16:38,350
It needs to receive trees that

617
00:16:38,350 --> 00:16:39,218
it's a walkable, gentle density

618
00:16:39,218 --> 00:16:41,320
neighborhood, like it has been

619
00:16:41,320 --> 00:16:41,954
for nearly 150 years and we've

620
00:16:41,954 --> 00:16:43,588
got ways forward.

621
00:16:43,588 --> 00:16:43,922
And that includes the infill of

622
00:16:43,922 --> 00:16:45,224
spaces.

623
00:16:45,224 --> 00:16:49,424
So we have all sorts of uses

624
00:16:49,729 --> 00:16:51,597
that loop in here.

625
00:16:51,597 --> 00:16:52,564
I'm happy to spend time

626
00:16:52,564 --> 00:16:53,532
afterwards if you want to deep

627
00:16:53,532 --> 00:16:54,534
dive the stuff.

628
00:16:54,534 --> 00:16:55,400
And then we've got

629
00:16:55,400 --> 00:16:57,400
transformation of land.

630
00:16:57,736 --> 00:16:59,238
The army just had -- if you go

631
00:16:59,238 --> 00:17:01,600
out today there's at all fescue

632
00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:02,541
they make short and you know it

633
00:17:02,541 --> 00:17:04,543
really, really well you know it

634
00:17:04,543 --> 00:17:07,543
has sand bursts in it

635
00:17:09,215 --> 00:17:11,184
burrs in it.

636
00:17:11,184 --> 00:17:12,818
So we want to think about

637
00:17:12,818 --> 00:17:13,819
grasslands to shoreline edge to

638
00:17:13,819 --> 00:17:15,688
activating the parade grounds so

639
00:17:15,688 --> 00:17:18,688
it can host musical festivals,

640
00:17:18,825 --> 00:17:20,393
so it can host art shows.

641
00:17:20,393 --> 00:17:22,328
And just areas of shade and

642
00:17:22,328 --> 00:17:22,628
places you can sit down and

643
00:17:22,628 --> 00:17:24,628
enjoy.

644
00:17:24,730 --> 00:17:25,640
Coupled with the resilient

645
00:17:25,640 --> 00:17:26,199
ecology.

646
00:17:26,199 --> 00:17:27,800
We think we can put about a

647
00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:29,469
hundred acres of marsh in fort

648
00:17:29,469 --> 00:17:29,902
monroe and restore the key

649
00:17:29,902 --> 00:17:31,337
coming there.

650
00:17:31,337 --> 00:17:33,606
What I want you to think about

651
00:17:33,606 --> 00:17:34,708
the power of that and maybe it's

652
00:17:34,708 --> 00:17:37,708
me, mid-life cries issues I'll

653
00:17:38,545 --> 00:17:40,800
own it.

654
00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:40,413
Crisis, I'll own

655
00:17:40,413 --> 00:17:41,714
it.

656
00:17:41,714 --> 00:17:44,170
Sometimes it's hard to

657
00:17:44,170 --> 00:17:45,552
appreciate the chesapeake bay

658
00:17:45,552 --> 00:17:46,886
until you drive by it every day,

659
00:17:46,886 --> 00:17:48,288
everyone who comes and says oh,

660
00:17:48,288 --> 00:17:49,589
my gosh, you live here?

661
00:17:49,589 --> 00:17:50,924
Our job is to bring that forward

662
00:17:50,924 --> 00:17:52,759
and ecology is how we do it.

663
00:17:52,759 --> 00:17:56,697
I want you to imagine -- because

664
00:17:56,697 --> 00:17:58,131
the plans are going to show --

665
00:17:58,131 --> 00:18:00,634
you're able to stay at a lodge

666
00:18:00,634 --> 00:18:03,404
and then walk into a chesapeake

667
00:18:03,404 --> 00:18:04,404
marsh and see a red drum sunning

668
00:18:04,404 --> 00:18:05,372
itself, see what we experience.

669
00:18:05,372 --> 00:18:06,907
We can do that.

670
00:18:06,907 --> 00:18:07,674
The army had a mission and they

671
00:18:07,674 --> 00:18:09,210
were mission focused.

672
00:18:09,210 --> 00:18:11,178
Our mission will be a little

673
00:18:11,178 --> 00:18:12,280
different so you'll see us bring

674
00:18:12,280 --> 00:18:12,813
ecology into the landscape as

675
00:18:12,813 --> 00:18:14,682
well.

676
00:18:14,682 --> 00:18:16,651
To not only soften it, make it

677
00:18:16,651 --> 00:18:18,286
more resilient in terms of

678
00:18:18,286 --> 00:18:19,720
climate change but make it more

679
00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:20,922
beautiful, enjoyable as well

680
00:18:20,922 --> 00:18:22,389
give folks the opportunity to

681
00:18:22,389 --> 00:18:25,393
spend time out there in a way

682
00:18:25,393 --> 00:18:27,495
you can't do anywhere else in

683
00:18:27,495 --> 00:18:28,195
hampton roads.

684
00:18:28,195 --> 00:18:30,431
There's no one else playing in

685
00:18:30,431 --> 00:18:32,633
this lane, it's wide up for us.

686
00:18:32,633 --> 00:18:35,136
One of the trans formses we've

687
00:18:35,136 --> 00:18:37,538
learned is mill creek is a top 3

688
00:18:37,538 --> 00:18:38,440
sailing and crew facility that's

689
00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:39,640
underused on the east coast.

690
00:18:39,640 --> 00:18:40,608
We've been told that by the

691
00:18:40,608 --> 00:18:42,577
national governing bodies.

692
00:18:42,577 --> 00:18:42,944
How do we deploy that as a

693
00:18:42,944 --> 00:18:44,812
resource?

694
00:18:44,812 --> 00:18:46,113
Because you can't get the big

695
00:18:46,113 --> 00:18:47,982
boats in there to cause trouble.

696
00:18:47,982 --> 00:18:49,317
So we are looking at a boat

697
00:18:49,317 --> 00:18:52,620
house complex to what you see up

698
00:18:52,620 --> 00:18:53,755
there to amplify the work of

699
00:18:53,755 --> 00:18:55,657
youth sail virginia -- I think

700
00:18:55,657 --> 00:18:56,591
they were going to cancel

701
00:18:56,591 --> 00:18:58,591
sailing, they're bringing

702
00:18:58,727 --> 00:19:00,610
sailing back, and how can we

703
00:19:00,610 --> 00:19:02,664
work nationally in that space, a

704
00:19:02,664 --> 00:19:04,990
real opportunity for us there.

705
00:19:04,990 --> 00:19:05,401
Towers have always been part of

706
00:19:05,401 --> 00:19:06,702
fort monroe's history, so one of

707
00:19:06,702 --> 00:19:08,360
the things architects quickly

708
00:19:08,360 --> 00:19:08,403
figured out is let's bring them

709
00:19:08,403 --> 00:19:10,720
back.

710
00:19:10,720 --> 00:19:11,508
So if we can find the confidence

711
00:19:11,508 --> 00:19:13,342
to bring contemporary

712
00:19:13,342 --> 00:19:15,645
architecture, do a design

713
00:19:15,645 --> 00:19:17,279
competition, and you know it is

714
00:19:17,279 --> 00:19:19,782
an instagram we live in, if

715
00:19:19,782 --> 00:19:23,982
you've been to new york and --

716
00:19:24,860 --> 00:19:26,189
what's it called, the big strat

717
00:19:26,189 --> 00:19:28,189
few thing, we're

718
00:19:31,293 --> 00:19:32,528
-- at one timethere were over 22 towers up and

719
00:19:32,528 --> 00:19:34,630
down that peninsula and once

720
00:19:34,630 --> 00:19:37,700
you're up in those towers, any

721
00:19:37,700 --> 00:19:39,435
of y'all that have trespassed,

722
00:19:39,435 --> 00:19:41,337
if you get up high you can see

723
00:19:41,337 --> 00:19:42,137
all the way to the chesapeake

724
00:19:42,137 --> 00:19:43,272
bridge tunnel and even beyond.

725
00:19:43,272 --> 00:19:44,507
We can make that available to

726
00:19:44,507 --> 00:19:46,142
our guests as well.

727
00:19:46,142 --> 00:19:46,475
So those are the big ideas we're

728
00:19:46,475 --> 00:19:48,475
chasing.

729
00:19:49,645 --> 00:19:50,120
We're moving to 60% in

730
00:19:50,120 --> 00:19:52,120
SEPTEMBER.

731
00:19:52,149 --> 00:19:54,984
In SEPTEMBER, we are going to be

732
00:19:54,984 --> 00:19:56,419
at two public workshops.

733
00:19:56,419 --> 00:19:56,719
Love to have y'all engage as

734
00:19:56,719 --> 00:19:57,620
well.

735
00:19:57,620 --> 00:19:58,454
We're always testing this

736
00:19:58,454 --> 00:19:59,822
against our residence and

737
00:19:59,822 --> 00:20:01,558
listening and then we listen

738
00:20:01,558 --> 00:20:01,858
again, did we get it right or

739
00:20:01,858 --> 00:20:03,526
wrong.

740
00:20:03,526 --> 00:20:05,610
We'll be at the peninsula on

741
00:20:05,610 --> 00:20:06,697
SEPTEMBER 16th from 6 to 8

742
00:20:06,697 --> 00:20:07,331
P.M., virginia teck is helping

743
00:20:07,331 --> 00:20:09,331
could

744
00:20:11,201 --> 00:20:13,236
cosponsor that and then south

745
00:20:13,236 --> 00:20:15,138
side on the 17th for both of

746
00:20:15,138 --> 00:20:16,873
the listening sessions before we

747
00:20:16,873 --> 00:20:19,276
do final edits that will come

748
00:20:19,276 --> 00:20:20,644
back to our board in OCTOBER --

749
00:20:20,644 --> 00:20:22,413
spoiler alert there will be a

750
00:20:22,413 --> 00:20:25,150
called meeting -- and then

751
00:20:25,150 --> 00:20:27,418
advance that to the governor

752
00:20:27,418 --> 00:20:28,952
because we love hitting

753
00:20:28,952 --> 00:20:30,488
headlines.

754
00:20:30,488 --> 00:20:31,489
And my final statement before I

755
00:20:31,489 --> 00:20:32,856
depart or take questions, we've

756
00:20:32,856 --> 00:20:34,591
done this before as a nation.

757
00:20:34,591 --> 00:20:35,927
It is of course the national

758
00:20:35,927 --> 00:20:37,761
mall in 1946.

759
00:20:37,761 --> 00:20:40,264
That is a public landscape

760
00:20:40,264 --> 00:20:41,566
serving our nation brilliantly.

761
00:20:41,566 --> 00:20:43,467
It won a world war.

762
00:20:43,467 --> 00:20:45,202
And then the greatest generation

763
00:20:45,202 --> 00:20:47,838
did one neat thing, didn't they?

764
00:20:47,838 --> 00:20:48,139
They gave it back to us like

765
00:20:48,139 --> 00:20:50,139
that.

766
00:20:50,775 --> 00:20:53,770
A public landscape, serving its

767
00:20:53,770 --> 00:20:54,812
nation, beautifully today with

768
00:20:54,812 --> 00:20:55,947
the world war ii memorial, the

769
00:20:55,947 --> 00:20:57,148
vietnam memorial, the steps of

770
00:20:57,148 --> 00:20:59,317
the lincoln memorial where so

771
00:20:59,317 --> 00:21:00,885
much of our history was written.

772
00:21:00,885 --> 00:21:02,120
These landscapes pivot and

773
00:21:02,120 --> 00:21:04,288
change to serve how we ask them

774
00:21:04,288 --> 00:21:05,724
to serve and we're simply saying

775
00:21:05,724 --> 00:21:06,691
to fort monroe what's your

776
00:21:06,691 --> 00:21:07,258
service to virginia and the

777
00:21:07,258 --> 00:21:08,793
nation next?

778
00:21:08,793 --> 00:21:10,762
I appreciate y'all's patience.

779
00:21:10,762 --> 00:21:12,297
I know that's a lot of slides.

780
00:21:12,297 --> 00:21:14,599
I'll share the deck.

781
00:21:14,599 --> 00:21:17,200
Happy to take any questions and

782
00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:18,670
again just encourage to come see

783
00:21:18,670 --> 00:21:20,205
us at the public work sessions

784
00:21:20,205 --> 00:21:20,839
and on the 29th when we

785
00:21:20,839 --> 00:21:22,374
welcome not only the

786
00:21:22,374 --> 00:21:24,209
commonwealth but the nature to a

787
00:21:24,209 --> 00:21:25,744
pretty significant momenter us

788
00:21:25,744 --> 00:21:28,144
as perform reveal the

789
00:21:30,749 --> 00:21:32,584
we reveal the first sculpture

790
00:21:32,584 --> 00:21:35,353
of the african landing memorial.

791
00:21:35,353 --> 00:21:37,353
>> thank you, scott.

792
00:21:38,423 --> 00:21:39,258
You flew through 97 slides like

793
00:21:39,258 --> 00:21:40,625
I've never seen before.

794
00:21:40,625 --> 00:21:41,894
You can present anytime.

795
00:21:41,894 --> 00:21:42,995
Vice mayor brown?

796
00:21:42,995 --> 00:21:45,970
>> thank you and scott and jay

797
00:21:45,970 --> 00:21:46,866
and to your board, thank you.

798
00:21:46,866 --> 00:21:48,167
I hope people in the audience

799
00:21:48,167 --> 00:21:49,435
and also watching will realize

800
00:21:49,435 --> 00:21:50,360
that great things are happening

801
00:21:50,360 --> 00:21:52,360
at fort monroe.

802
00:21:53,205 --> 00:21:53,906
And some of the things that's

803
00:21:53,906 --> 00:21:56,306
happening, there really isn't

804
00:21:57,776 --> 00:21:59,545
any cost to citizens, taxpayers,

805
00:21:59,545 --> 00:22:01,447
and the question I had was, I

806
00:22:01,447 --> 00:22:05,470
know that the system -- what

807
00:22:05,284 --> 00:22:07,454
fort monroe has had one water

808
00:22:07,454 --> 00:22:10,389
meter and to meet the demand for

809
00:22:10,389 --> 00:22:11,624
the government, are there plans

810
00:22:11,624 --> 00:22:13,926
for additional water meter, one

811
00:22:13,926 --> 00:22:15,561
or two more meters to meet that

812
00:22:15,561 --> 00:22:16,329
demand?

813
00:22:16,329 --> 00:22:17,397
>> yeah, we're going to meter

814
00:22:17,397 --> 00:22:19,499
everything that uses water,

815
00:22:19,499 --> 00:22:21,801
because you're exactly right the

816
00:22:21,801 --> 00:22:22,102
army had one meter for water and

817
00:22:22,102 --> 00:22:24,102
sewer.

818
00:22:24,737 --> 00:22:25,505
That's the only way to treat

819
00:22:25,505 --> 00:22:27,140
renters fairly.

820
00:22:27,140 --> 00:22:28,474
And to add a little asterisk,

821
00:22:28,474 --> 00:22:30,677
why does it matter and why are

822
00:22:30,677 --> 00:22:31,440
we spending so much money on

823
00:22:31,440 --> 00:22:32,545
utilities?

824
00:22:32,545 --> 00:22:35,482
We buy approximately, give or

825
00:22:35,482 --> 00:22:37,450
take, john will quibble with my

826
00:22:37,450 --> 00:22:38,419
numbers but 50,000 gallons of

827
00:22:38,419 --> 00:22:40,754
water a month or fort monroe.

828
00:22:40,754 --> 00:22:42,189
We pay to treat on the average

829
00:22:42,189 --> 00:22:43,490
month 400,000 gallons.

830
00:22:43,490 --> 00:22:45,226
That's all chesapeake bay water

831
00:22:45,226 --> 00:22:45,559
that comes into our aging pipe

832
00:22:45,559 --> 00:22:47,427
systems.

833
00:22:47,427 --> 00:22:48,328
So while I'm happy to clean the

834
00:22:48,328 --> 00:22:51,164
bay, I think there are better

835
00:22:51,164 --> 00:22:52,599
ways to did it than through our

836
00:22:52,599 --> 00:22:53,600
local sewer district would and

837
00:22:53,600 --> 00:22:55,600
my

838
00:22:55,603 --> 00:22:56,937
.

839
00:22:56,937 --> 00:22:57,938
>> as we look at developing fort

840
00:22:57,938 --> 00:23:00,774
monroe and all the great things

841
00:23:00,774 --> 00:23:02,676
going to happen there, that will

842
00:23:02,676 --> 00:23:05,760
rival the apprentice I

843
00:23:07,514 --> 00:23:09,514
apprentice I

844
00:23:10,984 --> 00:23:13,384
-- that will produce

845
00:23:13,488 --> 00:23:14,589
an enormous amount of revenue so

846
00:23:14,589 --> 00:23:16,724
our community can continue to do

847
00:23:16,724 --> 00:23:20,728
the kinds of things that we do

848
00:23:20,728 --> 00:23:23,431
and looking at the plans, this

849
00:23:23,431 --> 00:23:24,632
will be the envy of the east

850
00:23:24,632 --> 00:23:26,330
coast and probably one of the

851
00:23:26,330 --> 00:23:26,367
greatest places to visit in the

852
00:23:26,367 --> 00:23:28,367
nation.

853
00:23:28,703 --> 00:23:29,270
So thank you very much for that.

854
00:23:29,270 --> 00:23:30,672
Appreciate it.

855
00:23:30,672 --> 00:23:32,672
>> any other questions?

856
00:23:33,740 --> 00:23:34,609
All right, scott, I just want to

857
00:23:34,609 --> 00:23:37,879
ask, you know when you showed

858
00:23:37,879 --> 00:23:39,800
that fenwick with would be

859
00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:42,800
eventually closed and be a

860
00:23:43,484 --> 00:23:45,153
trail, is that a part of the

861
00:23:45,153 --> 00:23:47,880
trail is that part of the trail

862
00:23:47,880 --> 00:23:47,422
757 that terminates at fort

863
00:23:47,422 --> 00:23:47,890
monroe?

864
00:23:47,890 --> 00:23:48,756
>> yes, sir.

865
00:23:48,756 --> 00:23:50,756
>> all right.

866
00:23:51,126 --> 00:23:53,526
Any other questions, comments?

867
00:23:54,960 --> 00:23:56,496
All right, thank you.

868
00:23:58,833 --> 00:24:00,833
Great presentation.

869
00:24:02,103 --> 00:24:04,730
[Applause]

870
00:24:04,730 --> 00:24:04,507
Okay, city manager, our next

871
00:24:04,507 --> 00:24:06,507
presentation?

872
00:24:08,243 --> 00:24:10,643
>> thank you, MR. Mayor.

873
00:24:10,746 --> 00:24:12,414
As you know, and hopefully the

874
00:24:12,414 --> 00:24:14,917
community knows, some time ago

875
00:24:14,917 --> 00:24:16,452
we were awarded a

876
00:24:16,452 --> 00:24:17,987
3 million-dollar coastal storm

877
00:24:17,987 --> 00:24:19,722
risk management feasibility

878
00:24:19,722 --> 00:24:21,457
study, colloquially known as

879
00:24:21,457 --> 00:24:23,910
three by three studies, to

880
00:24:23,910 --> 00:24:23,792
assess how we might work with

881
00:24:23,792 --> 00:24:26,192
the federal government through

882
00:24:26,862 --> 00:24:29,231
the army corps much

883
00:24:29,231 --> 00:24:30,990
corps of engineer to

884
00:24:30,990 --> 00:24:31,634
better protect our community not

885
00:24:31,634 --> 00:24:33,636
just from the intense rain

886
00:24:33,636 --> 00:24:34,837
events like we had this week --

887
00:24:34,837 --> 00:24:37,837
an interesting fact in that

888
00:24:38,400 --> 00:24:39,809
deluge of rain we got on monday

889
00:24:39,809 --> 00:24:40,976
night, 1.87 inches fell in just

890
00:24:40,976 --> 00:24:42,976
10 minutes.

891
00:24:43,112 --> 00:24:44,947
Let that sink in, 1.87 inches.

892
00:24:44,947 --> 00:24:45,715
That's a lot of rain in 10

893
00:24:45,715 --> 00:24:47,160
minutes' time.

894
00:24:47,160 --> 00:24:48,785
So if you had extra flooding in

895
00:24:48,785 --> 00:24:49,953
your neighborhood or on your

896
00:24:49,953 --> 00:24:51,953
property, that's why.

897
00:24:52,488 --> 00:24:54,357
None of the systems that were

898
00:24:54,357 --> 00:24:56,326
built 50 to 100 years ago to

899
00:24:56,326 --> 00:24:57,961
protect our city anticipated

900
00:24:57,961 --> 00:24:58,628
intense rain events of that

901
00:24:58,628 --> 00:25:00,628
nature.

902
00:25:01,664 --> 00:25:04,300
But also, we know that our

903
00:25:04,300 --> 00:25:06,350
region is experiencing both sea

904
00:25:06,350 --> 00:25:07,570
level rise and land subsidence.

905
00:25:07,570 --> 00:25:08,671
And we want to think about not

906
00:25:08,671 --> 00:25:10,106
just what's happening today, we

907
00:25:10,106 --> 00:25:12,176
want to think about what's going

908
00:25:12,176 --> 00:25:13,844
to happen in 50 years.

909
00:25:13,844 --> 00:25:17,314
And so the biggest source of

910
00:25:17,314 --> 00:25:18,949
federal funding to help address

911
00:25:18,949 --> 00:25:20,283
things like this comes through

912
00:25:20,283 --> 00:25:21,618
army corps of engineers and the

913
00:25:21,618 --> 00:25:25,122
gateway to getting that type of

914
00:25:25,122 --> 00:25:27,524
money is what's called a coastal

915
00:25:27,524 --> 00:25:27,825
risk management study or 3 by 3

916
00:25:27,825 --> 00:25:29,825
study.

917
00:25:30,527 --> 00:25:31,461
We were very happy when we got

918
00:25:31,461 --> 00:25:32,696
that 3 million-dollar study,

919
00:25:32,696 --> 00:25:34,565
because we were told it would

920
00:25:34,565 --> 00:25:37,935
come with no local match, and we

921
00:25:37,935 --> 00:25:39,136
would get to look at structural

922
00:25:39,136 --> 00:25:40,904
and non-structural solutions

923
00:25:40,904 --> 00:25:42,640
that would help us prepare for

924
00:25:42,640 --> 00:25:44,608
what's going on today and 50

925
00:25:44,608 --> 00:25:45,643
years from now.

926
00:25:45,643 --> 00:25:47,711
Unfortunately, shortly after we

927
00:25:47,711 --> 00:25:49,481
got all of that and started

928
00:25:49,481 --> 00:25:50,981
going, we got new direction from

929
00:25:50,981 --> 00:25:52,950
the corps that they were only

930
00:25:52,950 --> 00:25:53,350
allowed to stay within that

931
00:25:53,350 --> 00:25:54,685
$3 million.

932
00:25:54,685 --> 00:25:56,453
We could not put any additional

933
00:25:56,453 --> 00:25:57,388
money into it, nor could the

934
00:25:57,388 --> 00:25:59,357
federal government, and because

935
00:25:59,357 --> 00:26:01,359
it was capped at $3 million,

936
00:26:01,359 --> 00:26:02,994
they would not be able to look

937
00:26:02,994 --> 00:26:04,796
at structural solutions, which

938
00:26:04,796 --> 00:26:06,131
we believe are absolutely

939
00:26:06,131 --> 00:26:08,131
necessary and warranted.

940
00:26:08,733 --> 00:26:10,680
And I say that because what they

941
00:26:10,680 --> 00:26:11,269
ended up focusing on and what

942
00:26:11,269 --> 00:26:12,736
you're going to hear about today

943
00:26:12,736 --> 00:26:15,136
is a non-structural study.

944
00:26:15,139 --> 00:26:16,441
And to contrast that, when you

945
00:26:16,441 --> 00:26:19,441
think about other areas that

946
00:26:20,845 --> 00:26:22,381
have gotten federal support,

947
00:26:22,381 --> 00:26:24,682
whether they're levy systems

948
00:26:24,682 --> 00:26:26,985
like in new orleans, tidal

949
00:26:26,985 --> 00:26:28,954
gates, other kinds of things

950
00:26:28,954 --> 00:26:31,220
like bulkheads and things of

951
00:26:31,220 --> 00:26:32,230
that nature, they're what we

952
00:26:32,230 --> 00:26:33,559
call structural solutions and

953
00:26:33,559 --> 00:26:35,426
they tend to protect lots of

954
00:26:35,426 --> 00:26:36,595
properties, not singular

955
00:26:36,595 --> 00:26:37,929
properties, whereas non-

956
00:26:37,929 --> 00:26:40,329
structural solutions are things

957
00:26:40,765 --> 00:26:41,366
like elevating homes or

958
00:26:41,366 --> 00:26:43,680
floodproofing buildings.

959
00:26:43,680 --> 00:26:44,703
And those are helpful, but they

960
00:26:44,703 --> 00:26:47,572
don't provide the same coverage

961
00:26:47,572 --> 00:26:49,207
that the larger structural

962
00:26:49,207 --> 00:26:50,409
solutions will offer.

963
00:26:50,409 --> 00:26:52,477
The army corps apologized to us

964
00:26:52,477 --> 00:26:53,679
that they would only be able to

965
00:26:53,679 --> 00:26:54,813
look at structural at this time

966
00:26:54,813 --> 00:26:55,781
and said that they would

967
00:26:55,781 --> 00:26:58,781
absolutely continue to work with

968
00:26:58,951 --> 00:26:59,285
us to look at structural in the

969
00:26:59,285 --> 00:27:00,719
future.

970
00:27:00,719 --> 00:27:02,210
And we press on and keep

971
00:27:02,210 --> 00:27:03,656
reminding them of that and

972
00:27:03,656 --> 00:27:06,560
hopefully that structural study

973
00:27:06,725 --> 00:27:07,693
will come, just as it did come

974
00:27:07,693 --> 00:27:08,594
for norfolk and virginia beach

975
00:27:08,594 --> 00:27:09,795
in our area.

976
00:27:09,795 --> 00:27:11,330
But today what you're going to

977
00:27:11,330 --> 00:27:13,399
hear about is only a non-

978
00:27:13,399 --> 00:27:14,500
structural study and I want to

979
00:27:14,500 --> 00:27:16,135
caveat and I've taken the time

980
00:27:16,135 --> 00:27:17,970
to caveat this to say that

981
00:27:17,970 --> 00:27:18,971
they've done this assuming no

982
00:27:18,971 --> 00:27:20,306
structural improvements, even

983
00:27:20,306 --> 00:27:21,374
though we know that's what we

984
00:27:21,374 --> 00:27:22,410
need and what we're going to

985
00:27:22,410 --> 00:27:23,676
advocate for.

986
00:27:23,676 --> 00:27:25,845
So the numbers you're going to

987
00:27:25,845 --> 00:27:27,847
see are pretty staggering, and

988
00:27:27,847 --> 00:27:30,116
just as one example, when they

989
00:27:30,116 --> 00:27:31,251
talk about home elevations, they

990
00:27:31,251 --> 00:27:34,287
suggest what we would need to do

991
00:27:34,287 --> 00:27:37,230
is on the order of 300 a year

992
00:27:37,230 --> 00:27:38,691
for ten years, and there are not

993
00:27:38,691 --> 00:27:41,910
enough contractors to do 300

994
00:27:41,661 --> 00:27:42,963
home elevations a year in our

995
00:27:42,963 --> 00:27:44,963
state or region.

996
00:27:45,698 --> 00:27:47,333
The numbers are very high.

997
00:27:47,333 --> 00:27:48,868
And what we would have to spend,

998
00:27:48,868 --> 00:27:51,171
as you will see, to do that is

999
00:27:51,171 --> 00:27:53,240
on the order of 100 million a

1000
00:27:53,240 --> 00:27:55,108
year, if I remember correctly.

1001
00:27:55,108 --> 00:27:55,508
Not within our financial

1002
00:27:55,508 --> 00:27:56,676
capability.

1003
00:27:56,676 --> 00:27:57,977
And honestly not the best source

1004
00:27:57,977 --> 00:27:59,512
of funds if we could take that

1005
00:27:59,512 --> 00:28:01,482
same amount of money and put it

1006
00:28:01,482 --> 00:28:02,783
into the structural solutions.

1007
00:28:02,783 --> 00:28:03,884
But we were given a non-

1008
00:28:03,884 --> 00:28:05,418
structural study.

1009
00:28:05,418 --> 00:28:06,386
And they are ready to produce

1010
00:28:06,386 --> 00:28:08,288
that non-structural study.

1011
00:28:08,288 --> 00:28:09,723
And we've asked them to put all

1012
00:28:09,723 --> 00:28:11,392
these caveats I'm describing to

1013
00:28:11,392 --> 00:28:12,693
you in their report and in

1014
00:28:12,693 --> 00:28:14,762
executive summary and to make

1015
00:28:14,762 --> 00:28:15,863
clear in their final report --

1016
00:28:15,863 --> 00:28:17,398
because we're talking about a

1017
00:28:17,398 --> 00:28:18,832
draft report today -- we still

1018
00:28:18,832 --> 00:28:21,335
believe that structural is the

1019
00:28:21,335 --> 00:28:22,904
way to go, that this report that

1020
00:28:22,904 --> 00:28:24,305
you hear actually builds the

1021
00:28:24,305 --> 00:28:26,941
case even stronger than we had

1022
00:28:26,941 --> 00:28:28,809
built it before.

1023
00:28:28,809 --> 00:28:30,878
So the process of the study is

1024
00:28:30,878 --> 00:28:32,313
to have a public comment period,

1025
00:28:32,313 --> 00:28:33,614
and we wanted to provide the

1026
00:28:33,614 --> 00:28:35,583
information not only to council

1027
00:28:35,583 --> 00:28:37,118
but to the community, so you

1028
00:28:37,118 --> 00:28:37,985
understand where we are, and

1029
00:28:37,985 --> 00:28:40,385
understand our concerns about

1030
00:28:41,255 --> 00:28:41,989
the study and its limitations

1031
00:28:41,989 --> 00:28:43,925
and understand that we're going

1032
00:28:43,925 --> 00:28:45,159
to continue to press for the

1033
00:28:45,159 --> 00:28:46,361
structural as well.

1034
00:28:46,361 --> 00:28:48,290
As I say there is a benefit from

1035
00:28:48,290 --> 00:28:50,965
the study, there absolutely are.

1036
00:28:50,965 --> 00:28:51,833
It is a gateway to funding, as i

1037
00:28:51,833 --> 00:28:54,200
mentioned, and there are really

1038
00:28:54,200 --> 00:28:57,200
good examples of where home

1039
00:28:57,205 --> 00:28:57,872
elevation, floodproofing,

1040
00:28:57,872 --> 00:28:58,740
critical infrastructure

1041
00:28:58,740 --> 00:28:59,407
management can be done through

1042
00:28:59,407 --> 00:29:01,407
the study.

1043
00:29:02,810 --> 00:29:04,345
But I do want to be very clear

1044
00:29:04,345 --> 00:29:05,847
that as olivia and scott deliver

1045
00:29:05,847 --> 00:29:07,683
this presentation, we are not

1046
00:29:07,683 --> 00:29:09,170
anticipating being able to

1047
00:29:09,170 --> 00:29:11,419
financially nor do we think it

1048
00:29:11,419 --> 00:29:14,623
is the right solution to do 300

1049
00:29:14,623 --> 00:29:15,924
home elevations a year.

1050
00:29:15,924 --> 00:29:16,925
There just like I said isn't

1051
00:29:16,925 --> 00:29:17,959
even the contractor capacity to

1052
00:29:17,959 --> 00:29:19,327
do that kind of thing.

1053
00:29:19,327 --> 00:29:22,163
So it is a helpful study.

1054
00:29:22,163 --> 00:29:23,465
It moves our living with water

1055
00:29:23,465 --> 00:29:25,767
agenda forward but not quite as

1056
00:29:25,767 --> 00:29:26,101
far forward as we would have

1057
00:29:26,101 --> 00:29:27,736
liked.

1058
00:29:27,736 --> 00:29:28,937
But with that caveat, I'm

1059
00:29:28,937 --> 00:29:30,840
pleased to have olivia and

1060
00:29:30,840 --> 00:29:31,940
scott, our leaders of our

1061
00:29:31,940 --> 00:29:32,908
resilient effort, to walk you

1062
00:29:32,908 --> 00:29:34,442
through what it says, where we

1063
00:29:34,442 --> 00:29:36,178
are in that process, what it

1064
00:29:36,178 --> 00:29:37,512
means during this federal

1065
00:29:37,512 --> 00:29:38,614
comment period and where we

1066
00:29:38,614 --> 00:29:42,218
expect to end up at the end of

1067
00:29:42,218 --> 00:29:42,551
the day.

1068
00:29:42,551 --> 00:29:43,218
Olivia?

1069
00:29:43,218 --> 00:29:44,387
>> thank you, mary.

1070
00:29:44,387 --> 00:29:46,210
I feel like I don't really need

1071
00:29:46,210 --> 00:29:48,424
to do the presentation anymore.

1072
00:29:48,424 --> 00:29:48,991
That was a wonderful job --

1073
00:29:48,991 --> 00:29:50,991
[Laughter]

1074
00:29:51,193 --> 00:29:53,162
-- for the record to explain t

1075
00:29:53,162 --> 00:29:55,598
so you didn't have to say

1076
00:29:55,598 --> 00:29:57,199
negative things about the corpse

1077
00:29:57,199 --> 00:29:58,434
that I'm saying.

1078
00:29:58,434 --> 00:29:59,535
>> we're going to fly through

1079
00:29:59,535 --> 00:30:01,535
some slides today.

1080
00:30:04,907 --> 00:30:05,241
I'm olivia askew, the resilience

1081
00:30:05,241 --> 00:30:07,241
officer.

1082
00:30:09,378 --> 00:30:12,315
I have with me scott smith our

1083
00:30:12,315 --> 00:30:14,251
resilience engineer and we have

1084
00:30:14,251 --> 00:30:15,585
a representative from the corps,

1085
00:30:15,585 --> 00:30:17,754
so she would be able to answer

1086
00:30:17,754 --> 00:30:20,560
any questions for you.

1087
00:30:20,560 --> 00:30:20,323
so here is our agenda for the

1088
00:30:20,323 --> 00:30:22,323
day.

1089
00:30:22,559 --> 00:30:23,660
We're going to spend most of the

1090
00:30:23,660 --> 00:30:24,961
time at the content of the draft

1091
00:30:24,961 --> 00:30:27,497
report but I want to provide

1092
00:30:27,497 --> 00:30:29,799
some additional context, adding

1093
00:30:29,799 --> 00:30:31,635
onto what mary provided you and

1094
00:30:31,635 --> 00:30:34,104
then we'll end with what are the

1095
00:30:34,104 --> 00:30:37,104
next steps for the study.

1096
00:30:37,841 --> 00:30:40,243
So in terms of the challenge of

1097
00:30:40,243 --> 00:30:42,980
flooding for our region, in both

1098
00:30:42,980 --> 00:30:44,614
hampton and the coast -- and

1099
00:30:44,614 --> 00:30:46,684
I'll circle back around to why

1100
00:30:46,684 --> 00:30:48,453
I'm talking about vic owes in,

1101
00:30:48,453 --> 00:30:49,753
they're vulnerable to widespread

1102
00:30:49,753 --> 00:30:50,954
and flex complex flooding

1103
00:30:50,954 --> 00:30:52,954
challenges.

1104
00:30:53,424 --> 00:30:55,824
Flooding just just occur

1105
00:30:55,893 --> 00:30:57,961
doesn't just occur on

1106
00:30:57,961 --> 00:31:01,561
our coast, they come from lots

1107
00:31:10,474 --> 00:31:11,876
of different directions.

1108
00:31:11,876 --> 00:31:14,876
In response to challenges and

1109
00:31:38,469 --> 00:31:40,805
the impacts in hampton in

1110
00:31:40,805 --> 00:31:43,805
some background: this study as

1111
00:31:43,975 --> 00:31:45,610
already mentioned is 100%

1112
00:31:45,610 --> 00:31:46,244
federally funded to the end of

1113
00:31:46,244 --> 00:31:48,244
the study.

1114
00:31:48,246 --> 00:31:49,547
Additional appropriations will

1115
00:31:49,547 --> 00:31:51,850
be needed to further engineer

1116
00:31:51,850 --> 00:31:52,517
and design and eventual

1117
00:31:52,517 --> 00:31:53,718
implementation of the early

1118
00:31:53,718 --> 00:31:56,455
actual plan, which we'll talk

1119
00:31:56,455 --> 00:31:58,855
about in a minute.

1120
00:31:59,910 --> 00:31:59,391
It's at a max of $3 million in 3

1121
00:31:59,391 --> 00:32:00,525
years.

1122
00:32:00,525 --> 00:32:02,627
This is a very quick study in

1123
00:32:02,627 --> 00:32:05,363
terms of how long it takes to do

1124
00:32:05,363 --> 00:32:07,799
a city wide regional study.

1125
00:32:07,799 --> 00:32:09,670
So that limits us for what we're

1126
00:32:09,670 --> 00:32:11,670
able to study.

1127
00:32:11,603 --> 00:32:14,907
The city of hampton is the sole

1128
00:32:14,907 --> 00:32:16,740
non-federal sponsor but we're

1129
00:32:16,740 --> 00:32:17,409
also partnering with the city of

1130
00:32:17,409 --> 00:32:19,440
poquoson and they have been a

1131
00:32:19,440 --> 00:32:22,440
great partner to work with.

1132
00:32:22,381 --> 00:32:23,149
So as mentioned this is a single

1133
00:32:23,149 --> 00:32:23,916
purpose coastal storm

1134
00:32:23,916 --> 00:32:25,884
co-management study.

1135
00:32:25,884 --> 00:32:27,119
We're not looking at ecological

1136
00:32:27,119 --> 00:32:29,955
restoration or things of that

1137
00:32:29,955 --> 00:32:31,590
nature or dredging, just looking

1138
00:32:31,590 --> 00:32:33,659
at coastal storm management,

1139
00:32:33,659 --> 00:32:35,659
focused on non-structural

1140
00:32:35,861 --> 00:32:37,861
analysis, elevation of

1141
00:32:40,660 --> 00:32:41,701
residential and floodproofing of

1142
00:32:41,701 --> 00:32:43,701
nonresidential and critical

1143
00:32:44,300 --> 00:32:44,537
infrastructure in hampton and

1144
00:32:44,537 --> 00:32:46,537
poquoson.

1145
00:32:47,206 --> 00:32:48,274
It's a 50 period of analysis

1146
00:32:48,274 --> 00:32:50,274
from 2040 to 2090.

1147
00:32:51,244 --> 00:32:51,544
How does this connect with

1148
00:32:51,544 --> 00:32:53,120
water?

1149
00:32:53,120 --> 00:32:55,810
I'll briefly go over this.

1150
00:32:55,810 --> 00:32:55,381
Our party has two facets, two

1151
00:32:55,381 --> 00:32:57,830
sides.

1152
00:32:57,830 --> 00:32:58,151
It's a challenge, flooding is a

1153
00:32:58,151 --> 00:32:59,852
challenge in hampton but water

1154
00:32:59,852 --> 00:33:01,387
is an asset.

1155
00:33:01,387 --> 00:33:03,456
And non-structural measures are

1156
00:33:03,456 --> 00:33:04,557
one of the strategies that we

1157
00:33:04,557 --> 00:33:07,557
can address the challenge, again

1158
00:33:08,962 --> 00:33:10,864
as mary noted is a singular

1159
00:33:10,864 --> 00:33:13,864
structure strategy rather than a

1160
00:33:14,134 --> 00:33:16,103
community wide strategy.

1161
00:33:16,103 --> 00:33:17,872
So the feasibility study

1162
00:33:17,872 --> 00:33:19,872
planning process: it's

1163
00:33:20,841 --> 00:33:22,242
important to note that first and

1164
00:33:22,242 --> 00:33:24,110
foremost, this peninsula coastal

1165
00:33:24,110 --> 00:33:27,110
storm risk management or I'll

1166
00:33:28,215 --> 00:33:30,517
abbreviate to csrm for ease is

1167
00:33:30,517 --> 00:33:32,917
an army corps plan.

1168
00:33:34,321 --> 00:33:35,889
And as an army corps plan is it

1169
00:33:35,889 --> 00:33:36,590
must follow federal policies and

1170
00:33:36,590 --> 00:33:38,590
administration priorities that

1171
00:33:38,959 --> 00:33:41,228
are set in washington and then

1172
00:33:41,228 --> 00:33:42,897
dictated to our local norfolk

1173
00:33:42,897 --> 00:33:43,330
district by the army corps

1174
00:33:43,330 --> 00:33:45,330
headquarters.

1175
00:33:45,666 --> 00:33:48,666
And sometimes these policies and

1176
00:33:48,736 --> 00:33:49,804
priorities align with the city's

1177
00:33:49,804 --> 00:33:51,705
priorities and values for living

1178
00:33:51,705 --> 00:33:53,240
with water and resilience, and

1179
00:33:53,240 --> 00:33:55,240
sometimes they don't.

1180
00:33:55,776 --> 00:33:57,645
So our goal at the city and --

1181
00:33:57,645 --> 00:33:59,714
at our project team is to have

1182
00:33:59,714 --> 00:34:01,682
this balancing act, where we are

1183
00:34:01,682 --> 00:34:04,820
attempting to maximize the

1184
00:34:04,352 --> 00:34:05,954
federal investment that we have,

1185
00:34:05,954 --> 00:34:07,954
this 3 million-dollar study,

1186
00:34:09,824 --> 00:34:10,725
while balancing the policies

1187
00:34:10,725 --> 00:34:12,260
that sometimes don't align with

1188
00:34:12,260 --> 00:34:15,564
the city in order to get the

1189
00:34:15,564 --> 00:34:16,564
best risk reduction for our

1190
00:34:16,564 --> 00:34:18,564
citizens.

1191
00:34:19,868 --> 00:34:21,503
So the army corps has a

1192
00:34:21,503 --> 00:34:22,504
four-part feasibility study

1193
00:34:22,504 --> 00:34:22,871
schedule, scoping is the

1194
00:34:22,871 --> 00:34:24,806
beginning.

1195
00:34:24,806 --> 00:34:26,806
Which began in 2024.

1196
00:34:27,342 --> 00:34:30,211
Then we move into alternatives

1197
00:34:30,211 --> 00:34:32,211
analysis and evaluation.

1198
00:34:33,381 --> 00:34:35,160
Then there's the continued

1199
00:34:35,160 --> 00:34:36,251
refinement of the selected plan,

1200
00:34:36,251 --> 00:34:37,452
so the alternative that's

1201
00:34:37,452 --> 00:34:39,654
selected to move forward, and

1202
00:34:39,654 --> 00:34:42,291
then there is a series of

1203
00:34:42,291 --> 00:34:44,359
reviews at the washington level.

1204
00:34:44,359 --> 00:34:46,862
And you can see there, noted, we

1205
00:34:46,862 --> 00:34:48,297
are here, in between

1206
00:34:48,297 --> 00:34:49,832
alternative, evaluation and

1207
00:34:49,832 --> 00:34:50,165
continued refinement of the

1208
00:34:50,165 --> 00:34:52,000
plan.

1209
00:34:52,000 --> 00:34:55,600
So the draft report was released

1210
00:34:57,306 --> 00:35:01,506
in JULY of 2022 and the end of

1211
00:35:02,244 --> 00:35:05,140
the public comment period is

1212
00:35:05,140 --> 00:35:06,649
SEPTEMBER 6th, 2026.

1213
00:35:06,649 --> 00:35:09,520
So again some additional context

1214
00:35:09,520 --> 00:35:10,920
for what the draft report is and

1215
00:35:10,920 --> 00:35:12,321
the language that's on this

1216
00:35:12,321 --> 00:35:14,190
shied is directly from that

1217
00:35:14,190 --> 00:35:14,557
executive summary that mary

1218
00:35:14,557 --> 00:35:16,557
mentioned.

1219
00:35:17,693 --> 00:35:18,461
The draft report is a snapshot

1220
00:35:18,461 --> 00:35:20,163
in time.

1221
00:35:20,163 --> 00:35:21,564
The army corps has to stop,

1222
00:35:21,564 --> 00:35:24,200
release a draft report and in

1223
00:35:24,200 --> 00:35:25,268
this instance this was -- the

1224
00:35:25,268 --> 00:35:27,668
information from the draft

1225
00:35:27,670 --> 00:35:30,700
report reflects the study

1226
00:35:31,107 --> 00:35:33,107
analysis in JUNE.

1227
00:35:34,177 --> 00:35:35,945
We have continued to refine down

1228
00:35:35,945 --> 00:35:38,681
since JUNE -- it's AUGUST now,

1229
00:35:38,681 --> 00:35:41,851
it's been several months -- the

1230
00:35:41,851 --> 00:35:43,920
scope and scale of the plan.

1231
00:35:43,920 --> 00:35:47,520
But one of the biggest benefits

1232
00:35:48,325 --> 00:35:49,827
of the report is that it does

1233
00:35:49,827 --> 00:35:51,610
illustrate at the federal level

1234
00:35:51,610 --> 00:35:53,797
the extensive need for risk

1235
00:35:53,797 --> 00:35:54,498
management in hampton and notes

1236
00:35:54,498 --> 00:35:55,598
that there is federal interest

1237
00:35:55,598 --> 00:35:57,100
in reducing that risk.

1238
00:35:57,100 --> 00:35:58,268
I'm sorry not a local or

1239
00:35:58,268 --> 00:35:59,436
regional problem, it is a

1240
00:35:59,436 --> 00:36:00,871
federal problem.

1241
00:36:00,871 --> 00:36:03,707
But the current scope and scale,

1242
00:36:03,707 --> 00:36:04,975
as mary noted, is above

1243
00:36:04,975 --> 00:36:06,975
realistic implementation and

1244
00:36:08,912 --> 00:36:09,880
capacity because of the cost and

1245
00:36:09,880 --> 00:36:11,315
other issues as well.

1246
00:36:11,315 --> 00:36:13,830
So refinement will occur between

1247
00:36:13,830 --> 00:36:16,253
the draft and final report to

1248
00:36:16,253 --> 00:36:17,455
ensure that the early actual

1249
00:36:17,455 --> 00:36:19,455
plan, that recommendation

1250
00:36:19,623 --> 00:36:21,292
reflects an interim solution

1251
00:36:21,292 --> 00:36:23,600
that can be reasonably

1252
00:36:23,600 --> 00:36:24,695
implemented in a timely and

1253
00:36:24,695 --> 00:36:27,950
practical manner, with knowing

1254
00:36:27,198 --> 00:36:28,933
that nature based and structural

1255
00:36:28,933 --> 00:36:30,367
measures are needed in addition

1256
00:36:30,367 --> 00:36:31,369
to these non-structural

1257
00:36:31,369 --> 00:36:32,904
measures that are outlined in

1258
00:36:32,904 --> 00:36:34,872
the plan.

1259
00:36:34,872 --> 00:36:36,875
And so with that, I'm going pass

1260
00:36:36,875 --> 00:36:41,120
it over to scott and then I'll

1261
00:36:41,120 --> 00:36:41,279
come back around and close us

1262
00:36:41,279 --> 00:36:42,780
out.

1263
00:36:42,780 --> 00:36:44,780
>> thank you, everyone.

1264
00:36:45,717 --> 00:36:48,520
So we're going to go and look at

1265
00:36:48,520 --> 00:36:50,221
what's actually in the report,

1266
00:36:50,221 --> 00:36:52,557
how significant the future of

1267
00:36:52,557 --> 00:36:53,858
hampton's coastal flood risk is

1268
00:36:53,858 --> 00:36:56,160
and what the corps evaluated and

1269
00:36:56,160 --> 00:36:58,290
what is currently being proposed

1270
00:36:58,290 --> 00:37:00,290
for federal investment.

1271
00:37:01,199 --> 00:37:02,734
This map illustrates the

1272
00:37:02,734 --> 00:37:03,101
magnitude of the long-term

1273
00:37:03,101 --> 00:37:05,101
challenge.

1274
00:37:05,804 --> 00:37:08,204
The corps evaluated conditions

1275
00:37:09,641 --> 00:37:12,641
through 2090 using the tide sea

1276
00:37:17,549 --> 00:37:19,451
level rise scenario of about 5.1 feet of sea level rise and

1277
00:37:19,451 --> 00:37:20,652
the takeaway is that the flood

1278
00:37:20,652 --> 00:37:21,854
exposure becomes increasingly

1279
00:37:21,854 --> 00:37:22,187
widespread over the study

1280
00:37:22,187 --> 00:37:24,187
period.

1281
00:37:29,428 --> 00:37:33,999
So it's a scary map, but -- and

1282
00:37:33,999 --> 00:37:35,334
then the corps then translates

1283
00:37:35,334 --> 00:37:36,735
economic damages -- essentially

1284
00:37:36,735 --> 00:37:39,135
they're asking two questions:

1285
00:37:39,205 --> 00:37:42,805
what happens if we do nothing

1286
00:37:43,609 --> 00:37:45,110
and how much damage with an

1287
00:37:45,110 --> 00:37:46,545
investment prevent?

1288
00:37:46,545 --> 00:37:47,880
Does the damages become the

1289
00:37:47,880 --> 00:37:50,880
basis for determining whether a

1290
00:37:51,484 --> 00:37:51,851
project is economically

1291
00:37:51,851 --> 00:37:53,851
justified?

1292
00:37:55,210 --> 00:37:57,223
So this slide demonstrates the

1293
00:37:57,223 --> 00:37:58,958
scale of the problem, more than

1294
00:37:58,958 --> 00:38:00,958
45,000 hampton assets were

1295
00:38:01,494 --> 00:38:03,894
identified as potentially at

1296
00:38:05,431 --> 00:38:07,400
risk, including critical

1297
00:38:07,400 --> 00:38:09,800
infrastructure, such as fire

1298
00:38:09,937 --> 00:38:11,337
stations, emergency operations,

1299
00:38:11,337 --> 00:38:13,400
shelters and the hospital.

1300
00:38:13,400 --> 00:38:14,341
So this is not simply a

1301
00:38:14,341 --> 00:38:16,543
residential flooding issue, it's

1302
00:38:16,543 --> 00:38:18,943
also about maintaining essential

1303
00:38:19,460 --> 00:38:19,446
services during and after a

1304
00:38:19,446 --> 00:38:21,446
storm.

1305
00:38:22,482 --> 00:38:24,170
As we said, we went through

1306
00:38:24,170 --> 00:38:25,985
study refinement, and this is

1307
00:38:25,985 --> 00:38:27,654
where the study begins to

1308
00:38:27,654 --> 00:38:28,956
narrow.

1309
00:38:28,956 --> 00:38:30,957
The corps cannot advance

1310
00:38:30,957 --> 00:38:32,892
everything identified in the

1311
00:38:32,892 --> 00:38:34,628
analysis within the current

1312
00:38:34,628 --> 00:38:35,962
study, schedule, budget, new

1313
00:38:35,962 --> 00:38:37,962
federal requirements including

1314
00:38:38,866 --> 00:38:41,135
reaching a 35% design threshold,

1315
00:38:41,135 --> 00:38:42,236
and the need for an early

1316
00:38:42,236 --> 00:38:44,636
actionable project forced the

1317
00:38:45,206 --> 00:38:47,750
team to prioritize.

1318
00:38:47,750 --> 00:38:50,244
So I want you to just remember

1319
00:38:50,244 --> 00:38:52,546
that the need didn't get

1320
00:38:52,546 --> 00:38:54,546
smaller, the federally

1321
00:38:56,500 --> 00:38:58,500
actionable project did.

1322
00:38:59,220 --> 00:39:00,455
So for critical infrastructure,

1323
00:39:00,455 --> 00:39:02,189
the corpse focused opt

1324
00:39:02,189 --> 00:39:04,589
facilities facing the greatest

1325
00:39:05,459 --> 00:39:06,694
flood exposure, particularly

1326
00:39:06,694 --> 00:39:09,940
facilities with low first

1327
00:39:10,970 --> 00:39:10,865
floors, exposure of the 20-40

1328
00:39:10,865 --> 00:39:13,265
floodplain and facilities that

1329
00:39:17,673 --> 00:39:18,306
are not already scheduled for

1330
00:39:18,306 --> 00:39:19,774
replacement.

1331
00:39:19,774 --> 00:39:20,875
So we had 18 structures in

1332
00:39:20,875 --> 00:39:21,242
hampton and there were 3 in

1333
00:39:21,242 --> 00:39:23,242
poquoson.

1334
00:39:27,282 --> 00:39:28,450
And next we looked at the non-

1335
00:39:28,450 --> 00:39:31,450
structural focus area and for

1336
00:39:32,353 --> 00:39:33,989
homes and businesses the corps

1337
00:39:33,989 --> 00:39:35,857
also defined folks areas based

1338
00:39:35,857 --> 00:39:36,625
on community cohesion, hydrology

1339
00:39:36,625 --> 00:39:38,625
and flood risk.

1340
00:39:41,196 --> 00:39:42,430
The resulting inventory contains

1341
00:39:42,430 --> 00:39:44,430
nearly 27,000 structures and 94%

1342
00:39:46,234 --> 00:39:46,535
of those are single family

1343
00:39:46,535 --> 00:39:48,535
homes.

1344
00:39:50,605 --> 00:39:51,974
So when we look at the future

1345
00:39:51,974 --> 00:39:53,909
with our project, this is one of

1346
00:39:53,909 --> 00:39:54,910
the most important numbers in

1347
00:39:54,910 --> 00:39:56,879
the presentation.

1348
00:39:56,879 --> 00:39:58,881
Within the focus areas, the

1349
00:39:58,881 --> 00:40:01,281
corps estimates more than

1350
00:40:01,517 --> 00:40:03,917
$10 billion in future flood

1351
00:40:04,253 --> 00:40:06,253
damages, including approximately

1352
00:40:06,355 --> 00:40:08,390
7.6 billion in hampton alone.

1353
00:40:08,390 --> 00:40:09,725
That puts the scale of our

1354
00:40:09,725 --> 00:40:11,725
long-term resilience challenge

1355
00:40:14,897 --> 00:40:16,832
into perspective.

1356
00:40:16,832 --> 00:40:19,832
So it's important to remember

1357
00:40:20,469 --> 00:40:22,305
what the federal study does and

1358
00:40:22,305 --> 00:40:24,730
does not address.

1359
00:40:24,730 --> 00:40:25,808
This is specifically a coastal

1360
00:40:25,808 --> 00:40:28,111
storm risk management study

1361
00:40:28,111 --> 00:40:30,113
focused primarily on non-

1362
00:40:30,113 --> 00:40:32,513
structural measures and critical

1363
00:40:34,150 --> 00:40:34,617
forecast.

1364
00:40:34,617 --> 00:40:36,419
Infrastructures.

1365
00:40:36,419 --> 00:40:37,520
It's not looking at compound

1366
00:40:37,520 --> 00:40:38,254
flooding from the rain reasons

1367
00:40:38,254 --> 00:40:40,254
as

1368
00:40:42,358 --> 00:40:43,560
events,as mary talked about earlier.

1369
00:40:43,560 --> 00:40:46,195
One of the components of the

1370
00:40:46,195 --> 00:40:48,640
broader living with water

1371
00:40:48,640 --> 00:40:51,640
strategy and not the city's

1372
00:40:55,205 --> 00:40:57,730
entire flood resilience

1373
00:40:57,730 --> 00:40:58,740
program.

1374
00:40:58,740 --> 00:40:58,942
So the corps as part of the

1375
00:40:58,942 --> 00:41:00,610
planning process evaluated

1376
00:41:00,610 --> 00:41:03,610
several alternatives, what if we

1377
00:41:04,214 --> 00:41:07,214
do nothing, looking at critical

1378
00:41:08,218 --> 00:41:09,620
infrastructure only.

1379
00:41:09,620 --> 00:41:12,200
And the alternative could

1380
00:41:12,155 --> 00:41:14,555
prevent roughly 7.5 billion in

1381
00:41:17,761 --> 00:41:18,262
damages but it is estimated to

1382
00:41:18,262 --> 00:41:19,697
exceed $5 billion.

1383
00:41:19,697 --> 00:41:22,697
That scale is simply not

1384
00:41:25,336 --> 00:41:26,637
practical as a near-term single

1385
00:41:26,637 --> 00:41:28,372
project, which is why further

1386
00:41:28,372 --> 00:41:30,372
prioritization is necessary.

1387
00:41:30,641 --> 00:41:32,276
again, this analysis validates

1388
00:41:32,276 --> 00:41:33,777
the need but it also

1389
00:41:33,777 --> 00:41:36,177
demonstrates why the program

1390
00:41:37,848 --> 00:41:39,848
must be phased.

1391
00:41:42,120 --> 00:41:43,988
And then this slide illustrates

1392
00:41:43,988 --> 00:41:45,957
the path forward, the corps

1393
00:41:45,957 --> 00:41:47,792
separating the larger composite

1394
00:41:47,792 --> 00:41:50,595
hence I was vision into an early

1395
00:41:50,595 --> 00:41:52,130
anxiousable plan that can move

1396
00:41:52,130 --> 00:41:54,530
forward toward authorization and

1397
00:41:56,935 --> 00:41:58,136
authorization is that

1398
00:41:58,136 --> 00:42:01,136
federally -- getting it approved

1399
00:42:01,840 --> 00:42:03,374
for funding down the road.

1400
00:42:03,374 --> 00:42:04,242
And the future action plans that

1401
00:42:04,242 --> 00:42:05,777
preserve additional needs for

1402
00:42:05,777 --> 00:42:07,777
later phases.

1403
00:42:09,314 --> 00:42:12,314
The immediate project must reach

1404
00:42:13,252 --> 00:42:16,210
35% design and meet the federal

1405
00:42:16,210 --> 00:42:18,210
environmental requirements.

1406
00:42:22,929 --> 00:42:24,663
So we can use we can use this to

1407
00:42:24,663 --> 00:42:25,998
eye ply for future projects to

1408
00:42:25,998 --> 00:42:27,732
elevate more homes but we would

1409
00:42:27,732 --> 00:42:28,834
have to go back through the 3 by

1410
00:42:28,834 --> 00:42:30,602
3 process again.

1411
00:42:30,602 --> 00:42:33,672
It's just that some of that

1412
00:42:33,672 --> 00:42:34,506
work's already been done so

1413
00:42:34,506 --> 00:42:35,641
hopefully can be done --

1414
00:42:35,641 --> 00:42:37,209
>> excuse me, scott.

1415
00:42:37,209 --> 00:42:38,844
>> yes, sir?

1416
00:42:38,844 --> 00:42:41,844
>> you referenced on a previous

1417
00:42:43,549 --> 00:42:43,949
slide the 35% design maturity

1418
00:42:43,949 --> 00:42:45,180
requirement.

1419
00:42:45,180 --> 00:42:45,351
Could you explain what that

1420
00:42:45,351 --> 00:42:47,351
means?

1421
00:42:49,622 --> 00:42:54,422
>> so they have to do -- for the

1422
00:42:54,594 --> 00:42:56,162
number of homes to be elevated

1423
00:42:56,162 --> 00:42:58,898
they have to go through and come

1424
00:42:58,898 --> 00:43:00,867
up with a 35% design maturity

1425
00:43:00,867 --> 00:43:03,867
showing, you know, what they

1426
00:43:04,838 --> 00:43:06,472
anticipate being the actual cost

1427
00:43:06,472 --> 00:43:07,708
of raising those homes.

1428
00:43:07,708 --> 00:43:09,142
So to break them into different

1429
00:43:09,142 --> 00:43:11,210
types of homes, different sizes

1430
00:43:11,210 --> 00:43:14,210
and come up with engineered

1431
00:43:14,981 --> 00:43:18,581
estimates as to what that cost

1432
00:43:18,852 --> 00:43:20,852
will be.

1433
00:43:22,355 --> 00:43:25,580
And then the early actionable

1434
00:43:25,580 --> 00:43:26,826
plan, currently it includes up

1435
00:43:26,826 --> 00:43:28,826
to 21 critical infrastructure

1436
00:43:29,696 --> 00:43:31,231
facilities and almost 4,000

1437
00:43:31,231 --> 00:43:33,231
residential and nonresidential

1438
00:43:33,867 --> 00:43:34,234
buildings across hampton and

1439
00:43:34,234 --> 00:43:36,234
poquoson.

1440
00:43:37,804 --> 00:43:40,600
And as we said, this will get

1441
00:43:40,600 --> 00:43:41,775
further refined, but the focus

1442
00:43:41,775 --> 00:43:43,944
is on areas with significant

1443
00:43:43,944 --> 00:43:45,450
flood risk, lower disaster

1444
00:43:45,450 --> 00:43:47,347
preparedness and recovery are

1445
00:43:47,347 --> 00:43:48,415
capacity in areas where

1446
00:43:48,415 --> 00:43:50,551
structural flood protection is

1447
00:43:50,551 --> 00:43:52,551
not considered appropriate.

1448
00:43:53,520 --> 00:43:57,120
So for hampton, we're looking at

1449
00:43:58,158 --> 00:44:01,128
aberdeen, buckroe and fox hill.

1450
00:44:01,128 --> 00:44:04,728
And the cost of the early

1451
00:44:05,966 --> 00:44:07,802
actionable plan -- so as we

1452
00:44:07,802 --> 00:44:10,104
said, when we're looking at the

1453
00:44:10,104 --> 00:44:11,773
federal share and the non-

1454
00:44:11,773 --> 00:44:14,173
federal share, a non-federal

1455
00:44:14,408 --> 00:44:16,811
share for the city of almost one

1456
00:44:16,811 --> 00:44:19,800
and a half billion dollars over

1457
00:44:19,800 --> 00:44:22,680
ten years is just not realistic

1458
00:44:24,152 --> 00:44:26,152
for the city.

1459
00:44:26,888 --> 00:44:29,888
And then for hampton, the

1460
00:44:31,359 --> 00:44:32,694
current plan identifies 2308

1461
00:44:32,694 --> 00:44:33,661
assets including 18 critical

1462
00:44:33,661 --> 00:44:36,610
infrastructure and the benefit

1463
00:44:36,865 --> 00:44:38,166
cost ratio is only 1.11, so the

1464
00:44:38,166 --> 00:44:40,166
project is economically

1465
00:44:43,271 --> 00:44:45,507
justified but only narrowly.

1466
00:44:45,507 --> 00:44:46,308
And the draft report gives us a

1467
00:44:46,308 --> 00:44:47,943
very --

1468
00:44:47,943 --> 00:44:49,244
>> scott, vice mayor brown.

1469
00:44:49,244 --> 00:44:49,678
>> yeah, thank you, thank you,

1470
00:44:49,678 --> 00:44:51,678
scott.

1471
00:44:53,448 --> 00:44:56,448
To the community that you're

1472
00:44:59,288 --> 00:45:00,922
looking at currently it's fox

1473
00:45:00,922 --> 00:45:02,558
hill aberdeen and buckroe?

1474
00:45:02,558 --> 00:45:04,920
What's the criteria for

1475
00:45:04,920 --> 00:45:04,961
selecting these communities?

1476
00:45:04,961 --> 00:45:07,620
>> they're looking at the

1477
00:45:07,620 --> 00:45:09,462
finished floor elevation, the

1478
00:45:09,698 --> 00:45:10,999
flood risk and then also looking

1479
00:45:10,999 --> 00:45:14,599
at -- for community cohesion, so

1480
00:45:20,542 --> 00:45:22,780
not just looking at a particular

1481
00:45:22,780 --> 00:45:23,179
home but a group of homes.

1482
00:45:23,179 --> 00:45:25,140
And they're also looking at the

1483
00:45:25,140 --> 00:45:27,516
area, the susceptibility of the

1484
00:45:27,516 --> 00:45:28,884
area for flooding.

1485
00:45:28,884 --> 00:45:29,752
>> are you looking at the upper

1486
00:45:29,752 --> 00:45:32,752
communities that would also meet

1487
00:45:32,789 --> 00:45:33,222
the same kind of resourcing and

1488
00:45:33,222 --> 00:45:34,257
services?

1489
00:45:34,257 --> 00:45:36,792
>> initially the entire city was

1490
00:45:36,792 --> 00:45:38,961
looked at and then it's just

1491
00:45:38,961 --> 00:45:41,464
been the first sizing took it

1492
00:45:41,464 --> 00:45:44,834
down to these areas, it will be

1493
00:45:44,834 --> 00:45:46,369
further refined down to get to a

1494
00:45:46,369 --> 00:45:48,369
more manageable number.

1495
00:45:48,639 --> 00:45:50,639
>> okay, thank you.

1496
00:45:52,750 --> 00:45:53,176
Councilmember bowman?

1497
00:45:53,176 --> 00:45:53,910
>> was city line drive included

1498
00:45:53,910 --> 00:45:56,310
in this city --

1499
00:45:56,479 --> 00:46:00,790
>> the city line -- the city

1500
00:46:00,483 --> 00:46:00,951
line apartments, that area?

1501
00:46:00,951 --> 00:46:02,251
>> yes.

1502
00:46:02,251 --> 00:46:04,754
>> no, that's being looked at

1503
00:46:04,754 --> 00:46:07,154
through another study currently.

1504
00:46:07,557 --> 00:46:09,292
We had a study through fema that

1505
00:46:09,292 --> 00:46:11,495
we're looking at those apartment

1506
00:46:11,495 --> 00:46:12,996
complexes.

1507
00:46:12,996 --> 00:46:13,396
>> okay, thank you.

1508
00:46:13,396 --> 00:46:15,265
>> yeah.

1509
00:46:15,265 --> 00:46:17,265
>> COUNCILWOMAN Mugler?

1510
00:46:18,402 --> 00:46:20,802
>> thank you, MR. Mayor.

1511
00:46:21,338 --> 00:46:22,806
Can you -- on the slide before

1512
00:46:22,806 --> 00:46:24,909
this I think, still on the map,

1513
00:46:24,909 --> 00:46:26,343
can you talk a little bit about

1514
00:46:26,343 --> 00:46:28,846
the coloring of the map?

1515
00:46:28,846 --> 00:46:29,379
Is there any significance in the

1516
00:46:29,379 --> 00:46:30,481
colors --

1517
00:46:30,481 --> 00:46:31,982
>> no, it was just to

1518
00:46:31,982 --> 00:46:33,982
differentiate the areas.

1519
00:46:35,520 --> 00:46:36,487
It doesn't indicate priorities

1520
00:46:36,487 --> 00:46:37,788
or anything else, it's just

1521
00:46:37,788 --> 00:46:39,788
highlighting the areas.

1522
00:46:46,997 --> 00:46:48,866
>> okay, thank you.

1523
00:46:48,866 --> 00:46:53,660
>> and then I'll turn it over to

1524
00:46:53,938 --> 00:46:56,938
olivia to close us out.

1525
00:46:57,775 --> 00:46:59,343
>> all right, so as previously

1526
00:46:59,343 --> 00:47:01,546
mentioned, we are in the public

1527
00:47:01,546 --> 00:47:01,879
comment period for the draft

1528
00:47:01,879 --> 00:47:03,879
report.

1529
00:47:03,948 --> 00:47:06,584
The final report that pencils

1530
00:47:06,584 --> 00:47:08,653
down for the working team is

1531
00:47:08,653 --> 00:47:11,522
around MARCH of next year.

1532
00:47:11,522 --> 00:47:13,491
So we will come back, present a

1533
00:47:13,491 --> 00:47:15,126
briefing to you all once the

1534
00:47:15,126 --> 00:47:17,228
final early actionable plan has

1535
00:47:17,228 --> 00:47:19,864
been been refined and we're not

1536
00:47:19,864 --> 00:47:23,464
able to refine anymore, to let

1537
00:47:23,802 --> 00:47:25,136
you all know about what is

1538
00:47:25,136 --> 00:47:26,605
continuing to be part of the

1539
00:47:26,605 --> 00:47:30,205
plan and we can do periodic

1540
00:47:30,976 --> 00:47:31,743
briefings through the memo as

1541
00:47:31,743 --> 00:47:33,743
well.

1542
00:47:34,146 --> 00:47:37,583
And then from MARCH of 2027, it

1543
00:47:37,583 --> 00:47:39,551
goes to washington, and we'll

1544
00:47:39,551 --> 00:47:41,520
have several levels of review,

1545
00:47:41,520 --> 00:47:42,154
and we anticipate a signed chief

1546
00:47:42,154 --> 00:47:44,456
report by the assistant

1547
00:47:44,456 --> 00:47:44,756
secretary of the army in JULY of

1548
00:47:44,756 --> 00:47:46,625
2027.

1549
00:47:46,625 --> 00:47:49,828
And then from there as scott

1550
00:47:49,828 --> 00:47:51,997
mentioned, the city would need

1551
00:47:51,997 --> 00:47:53,632
to ask for additional

1552
00:47:53,632 --> 00:47:54,967
appropriations from congress to

1553
00:47:54,967 --> 00:47:56,935
further additional design and

1554
00:47:56,935 --> 00:47:58,935
engineering and implementation

1555
00:48:00,439 --> 00:48:02,108
of the early actionable plan.

1556
00:48:02,108 --> 00:48:04,310
So there are currently two

1557
00:48:04,310 --> 00:48:04,844
options for feedback for the

1558
00:48:04,844 --> 00:48:06,812
public.

1559
00:48:06,812 --> 00:48:08,481
The first is tomorrow evening.

1560
00:48:08,481 --> 00:48:10,149
There is an in-person meeting at

1561
00:48:10,149 --> 00:48:12,685
the fox hill neighborhood center

1562
00:48:12,685 --> 00:48:14,453
from 6 to 7:30.

1563
00:48:14,453 --> 00:48:16,322
That is at 65 hall road.

1564
00:48:16,322 --> 00:48:18,240
It will be a short presentation

1565
00:48:18,240 --> 00:48:20,226
at the beginning and then an

1566
00:48:20,226 --> 00:48:22,528
open house style, with members

1567
00:48:22,528 --> 00:48:24,163
of the resilient hampton team

1568
00:48:24,163 --> 00:48:26,366
and our staff and many different

1569
00:48:26,366 --> 00:48:28,101
members from the army corps

1570
00:48:28,101 --> 00:48:29,302
norfolk district there to answer

1571
00:48:29,302 --> 00:48:31,302
any citizens' questions.

1572
00:48:31,337 --> 00:48:34,937
In addition to to the in-person

1573
00:48:36,310 --> 00:48:37,877
participation option, there is

1574
00:48:37,877 --> 00:48:39,846
already up online on the army

1575
00:48:39,846 --> 00:48:40,647
corps website an on demand

1576
00:48:40,647 --> 00:48:42,282
presentation that we had that

1577
00:48:42,282 --> 00:48:45,282
will be available again for

1578
00:48:46,352 --> 00:48:48,752
comment until SEPTEMBER 6th.

1579
00:48:48,755 --> 00:48:50,857
In closing, we're going to

1580
00:48:50,857 --> 00:48:51,224
continue to work on the

1581
00:48:51,224 --> 00:48:52,626
project --

1582
00:48:52,626 --> 00:48:54,270
>> vice mayor brown.

1583
00:48:54,270 --> 00:48:56,427
>> yeah, thank you, olivia.

1584
00:48:56,663 --> 00:48:57,300
How do you get this out to

1585
00:48:57,300 --> 00:48:58,465
residents?

1586
00:48:58,465 --> 00:49:01,201
What are we doing to get

1587
00:49:01,201 --> 00:49:02,770
residents here and at the

1588
00:49:02,770 --> 00:49:04,371
meeting regarding this issue?

1589
00:49:04,371 --> 00:49:06,371
>> yes, sir.

1590
00:49:09,343 --> 00:49:10,144
So we've used our city social

1591
00:49:10,144 --> 00:49:11,745
media and e news.

1592
00:49:11,745 --> 00:49:12,646
We also have our resilient

1593
00:49:12,646 --> 00:49:13,414
hampton newsletter.

1594
00:49:13,414 --> 00:49:15,316
In addition to that we've sent

1595
00:49:15,316 --> 00:49:17,385
it out to our community

1596
00:49:17,385 --> 00:49:18,485
partners, folks on our

1597
00:49:18,485 --> 00:49:20,120
neighborhood commission to

1598
00:49:20,120 --> 00:49:20,454
distribute to neighborhood

1599
00:49:20,454 --> 00:49:21,956
groups.

1600
00:49:21,956 --> 00:49:24,956
>> are we doing any postal?

1601
00:49:28,195 --> 00:49:29,196
>> not for this effort.

1602
00:49:29,196 --> 00:49:32,233
So we're going to continue to

1603
00:49:32,233 --> 00:49:34,569
work and scale down the study to

1604
00:49:34,569 --> 00:49:35,670
it's something that's actually

1605
00:49:35,670 --> 00:49:36,370
feesible for the city to

1606
00:49:36,370 --> 00:49:36,971
implement.

1607
00:49:36,971 --> 00:49:38,840
As we've already said, this is

1608
00:49:38,840 --> 00:49:39,941
just one of the city's

1609
00:49:39,941 --> 00:49:40,408
strategies to reduce coastal

1610
00:49:40,408 --> 00:49:42,176
storm risk.

1611
00:49:42,176 --> 00:49:43,611
This is not the only strategy.

1612
00:49:43,611 --> 00:49:45,280
We will continue to pursue

1613
00:49:45,280 --> 00:49:47,280
structural and nature-based

1614
00:49:48,216 --> 00:49:51,216
strategies where they make sense

1615
00:49:51,352 --> 00:49:53,121
and where they provide the most

1616
00:49:53,121 --> 00:49:54,523
benefit for the community.

1617
00:49:54,523 --> 00:49:55,523
And we will continue to look

1618
00:49:55,523 --> 00:49:57,392
forward to future partnerships

1619
00:49:57,392 --> 00:50:00,128
with the U.S. Army corps on that

1620
00:50:00,128 --> 00:50:02,128
effort as well.

1621
00:50:02,430 --> 00:50:03,732
So this is a shameless plug for

1622
00:50:03,732 --> 00:50:05,200
that newsletter and social media

1623
00:50:05,200 --> 00:50:06,335
that I mentioned.

1624
00:50:06,335 --> 00:50:08,537
If anybody from the public would

1625
00:50:08,537 --> 00:50:09,771
like to scan and sign up for our

1626
00:50:09,771 --> 00:50:11,940
newsletter, we put information

1627
00:50:11,940 --> 00:50:14,340
about our upcoming public

1628
00:50:14,509 --> 00:50:15,210
meetings, project updates, share

1629
00:50:15,210 --> 00:50:17,610
partner opportunities as well

1630
00:50:18,113 --> 00:50:19,781
and then we recently established

1631
00:50:19,781 --> 00:50:21,784
a facebook and instagram where

1632
00:50:21,784 --> 00:50:23,552
we share similar information.

1633
00:50:23,552 --> 00:50:24,686
But as I said, scott and I are

1634
00:50:24,686 --> 00:50:28,286
here for any questions that you

1635
00:50:29,125 --> 00:50:30,459
MAY have, and if we have any

1636
00:50:30,459 --> 00:50:32,859
army corps questions, someone

1637
00:50:33,228 --> 00:50:33,529
could answer those for you as

1638
00:50:33,529 --> 00:50:35,529
well.

1639
00:50:36,165 --> 00:50:37,566
Thank you.

1640
00:50:37,566 --> 00:50:38,767
>> okay thank you.

1641
00:50:38,767 --> 00:50:39,235
Questions, comments from

1642
00:50:39,235 --> 00:50:40,569
councilmembers?

1643
00:50:40,569 --> 00:50:42,380
All right -- I'm sorry,

1644
00:50:42,380 --> 00:50:44,380
COUNCILWOMAN Mugler.

1645
00:50:44,274 --> 00:50:46,175
>> thank you, MR. Mayor.

1646
00:50:46,175 --> 00:50:50,790
We're back to the slide that we

1647
00:50:50,790 --> 00:50:51,681
were on before, I think it's

1648
00:50:51,681 --> 00:50:52,548
number 25.

1649
00:50:52,548 --> 00:50:54,548
That's not it.

1650
00:50:57,190 --> 00:50:58,521
It's the one with the map, with

1651
00:50:58,521 --> 00:50:59,389
the color -- I'm just --

1652
00:50:59,389 --> 00:51:01,389
>> yes, ma'am.

1653
00:51:05,194 --> 00:51:07,964
>> I'm just curious about the

1654
00:51:07,964 --> 00:51:10,901
findings and where this is

1655
00:51:10,901 --> 00:51:13,136
focused and that it didn't

1656
00:51:13,136 --> 00:51:14,537
capture with our downtown where

1657
00:51:14,537 --> 00:51:16,106
we know we've got a lot of

1658
00:51:16,106 --> 00:51:18,106
significant flooding.

1659
00:51:19,142 --> 00:51:20,430
It didn't capture really

1660
00:51:20,430 --> 00:51:21,911
riverdale -- I'm not sure what

1661
00:51:21,911 --> 00:51:23,130
that's referred to in this --

1662
00:51:23,130 --> 00:51:25,130
>> mercury central.

1663
00:51:25,382 --> 00:51:26,283
>> yeah, okay.

1664
00:51:26,283 --> 00:51:28,283
-- map.

1665
00:51:28,652 --> 00:51:30,621
So what were -- how did they

1666
00:51:30,621 --> 00:51:31,922
land on these particular areas

1667
00:51:31,922 --> 00:51:33,922
to focus on?

1668
00:51:34,991 --> 00:51:36,660
>> so number 3 there on the

1669
00:51:36,660 --> 00:51:37,962
criteria, area is not suited for

1670
00:51:37,962 --> 00:51:39,963
structural measures, is key to

1671
00:51:39,963 --> 00:51:41,531
how we zoomed in on fox hill,

1672
00:51:41,531 --> 00:51:42,933
buckroe and aberdeen.

1673
00:51:42,933 --> 00:51:44,134
As mary mentioned in the

1674
00:51:44,134 --> 00:51:46,870
beginning of the process when we

1675
00:51:46,870 --> 00:51:48,639
were scoping, we were scoping

1676
00:51:48,639 --> 00:51:50,700
structural and nature based,

1677
00:51:50,700 --> 00:51:51,341
non-structural, so we worked

1678
00:51:51,341 --> 00:51:53,944
with our consultant team and we

1679
00:51:53,944 --> 00:51:56,147
worked with the army corps to

1680
00:51:56,147 --> 00:51:58,249
outline what we thought at a

1681
00:51:58,249 --> 00:51:58,949
very conceptual level, where

1682
00:51:58,949 --> 00:52:01,349
could structural measures such

1683
00:52:02,219 --> 00:52:02,853
as a levee or a flood wall

1684
00:52:02,853 --> 00:52:03,388
provide community scale

1685
00:52:03,388 --> 00:52:04,421
benefits.

1686
00:52:04,421 --> 00:52:05,856
And we have a pretty good

1687
00:52:05,856 --> 00:52:09,270
picture of where those are now.

1688
00:52:09,270 --> 00:52:11,462
So in terms of just not looking

1689
00:52:11,462 --> 00:52:13,564
at what areas are lowlying, okay

1690
00:52:13,564 --> 00:52:16,200
yes, it's all the hashed areas

1691
00:52:16,200 --> 00:52:17,836
and the areas that are colored.

1692
00:52:17,836 --> 00:52:21,436
What are areas that are socially

1693
00:52:23,207 --> 00:52:23,975
vulnerable, that's what the load

1694
00:52:23,975 --> 00:52:24,643
[Indiscernible] That means in

1695
00:52:24,643 --> 00:52:26,277
army corps language.

1696
00:52:26,277 --> 00:52:27,479
Those are scattered throughout

1697
00:52:27,479 --> 00:52:29,479
the city.

1698
00:52:29,547 --> 00:52:30,448
But there are places where we

1699
00:52:30,448 --> 00:52:32,651
feel that structural measures

1700
00:52:32,651 --> 00:52:35,387
will provide the most benefit.

1701
00:52:35,387 --> 00:52:37,790
So when we were looking to zoom

1702
00:52:37,790 --> 00:52:40,158
in on criteria in areas where we

1703
00:52:40,158 --> 00:52:41,226
can move forward with non-

1704
00:52:41,226 --> 00:52:43,626
structural, we said okay,

1705
00:52:43,995 --> 00:52:46,399
there's a structural measure for

1706
00:52:46,399 --> 00:52:49,399
mercury central, if we're truly

1707
00:52:50,402 --> 00:52:52,604
trying to refine and use the

1708
00:52:52,604 --> 00:52:54,907
investment in the areas where

1709
00:52:54,907 --> 00:52:56,642
future federal investment MAY

1710
00:52:56,642 --> 00:52:57,943
not happen, we said, okay,

1711
00:52:57,943 --> 00:52:59,612
there's a structural measure,

1712
00:52:59,612 --> 00:53:03,549
we're not going to look at that

1713
00:53:03,549 --> 00:53:06,518
focus area, and so we ended with

1714
00:53:06,518 --> 00:53:08,587
fox hill area and buckroe

1715
00:53:08,587 --> 00:53:10,987
because there aren't structural

1716
00:53:11,560 --> 00:53:12,358
solutions that provide wide

1717
00:53:12,358 --> 00:53:14,758
scale community benefit, and

1718
00:53:15,940 --> 00:53:16,829
then aberdeen, we zoomed in

1719
00:53:16,829 --> 00:53:19,229
because of the social

1720
00:53:19,365 --> 00:53:19,665
vulnerabilities in that area as

1721
00:53:19,665 --> 00:53:20,166
well.

1722
00:53:20,166 --> 00:53:20,699
>> thank you.

1723
00:53:20,699 --> 00:53:22,699
That's very helpful.

1724
00:53:24,300 --> 00:53:26,106
I appreciate the further detail

1725
00:53:26,106 --> 00:53:26,772
on that.

1726
00:53:26,772 --> 00:53:28,400
Thank you.

1727
00:53:28,400 --> 00:53:29,542
>> all right, any other

1728
00:53:29,542 --> 00:53:30,276
questions, comments from

1729
00:53:30,276 --> 00:53:32,276
councilmembers?

1730
00:53:33,120 --> 00:53:35,882
Okay, thank you olivia, scott.

1731
00:53:35,882 --> 00:53:36,449
All right, city manager, next

1732
00:53:36,449 --> 00:53:38,449
presentation?

1733
00:53:38,584 --> 00:53:41,221
>> yeah, so last month we heard

1734
00:53:41,221 --> 00:53:42,322
from chief wideman about the law

1735
00:53:42,322 --> 00:53:44,322
enforcement efforts around

1736
00:53:44,624 --> 00:53:46,192
bringing down crime, and we had

1737
00:53:46,192 --> 00:53:48,695
some really good reports from

1738
00:53:48,695 --> 00:53:49,620
chief wideman, as you'll

1739
00:53:49,620 --> 00:53:49,929
recollect.

1740
00:53:49,929 --> 00:53:50,764
That's something we do each year

1741
00:53:50,764 --> 00:53:52,764
in JULY.

1742
00:53:53,660 --> 00:53:55,435
And each year in AUGUST we come

1743
00:53:55,435 --> 00:53:56,736
behind the chief and share what

1744
00:53:56,736 --> 00:53:57,838
we're doing for prevention and

1745
00:53:57,838 --> 00:53:59,472
intervention through our office

1746
00:53:59,472 --> 00:54:00,373
of youth and young adult did

1747
00:54:00,373 --> 00:54:02,420
opportunities which is the host

1748
00:54:02,420 --> 00:54:03,243
of the hopeful hampton program.

1749
00:54:03,243 --> 00:54:06,213
Really there's no one department

1750
00:54:06,213 --> 00:54:07,314
that works on prevention and

1751
00:54:07,314 --> 00:54:10,314
intervention, but the office of

1752
00:54:10,717 --> 00:54:12,719
youth and young adult

1753
00:54:12,719 --> 00:54:14,121
opportunities is the home, the

1754
00:54:14,121 --> 00:54:15,355
centralizing facilitator for

1755
00:54:15,355 --> 00:54:16,990
hopeful hampton initiative that

1756
00:54:16,990 --> 00:54:18,658
has helped us make tremendous

1757
00:54:18,658 --> 00:54:20,627
strides with youth and young

1758
00:54:20,627 --> 00:54:22,263
adult activity that has been

1759
00:54:22,263 --> 00:54:22,630
detrimental in the past in our

1760
00:54:22,630 --> 00:54:24,630
community.

1761
00:54:24,665 --> 00:54:26,567
And so today, hugo morrison who

1762
00:54:26,567 --> 00:54:28,636
is our interim director for that

1763
00:54:28,636 --> 00:54:31,720
office, will do the annual

1764
00:54:31,720 --> 00:54:33,274
report, which covers JULY 1st of

1765
00:54:33,274 --> 00:54:33,574
2025 through JUNE 30th of

1766
00:54:33,574 --> 00:54:35,574
2026.

1767
00:54:35,810 --> 00:54:36,878
I think you'll be really excited

1768
00:54:36,878 --> 00:54:38,212
to see how much has been done

1769
00:54:38,212 --> 00:54:39,480
over the last year and it backs

1770
00:54:39,480 --> 00:54:42,216
up the results that you were

1771
00:54:42,216 --> 00:54:42,516
seeing from chief wideman last

1772
00:54:42,516 --> 00:54:43,984
month.

1773
00:54:43,984 --> 00:54:44,285
>> thank you, city manager,

1774
00:54:44,285 --> 00:54:46,187
mayor.

1775
00:54:46,187 --> 00:54:48,587
Good afternoon, mayor, vice

1776
00:54:48,589 --> 00:54:50,658
mayor, members of council, city

1777
00:54:50,658 --> 00:54:51,893
manager, city attorney, clerk of

1778
00:54:51,893 --> 00:54:52,995
council and other elected

1779
00:54:52,995 --> 00:54:53,461
officials, and our hampton

1780
00:54:53,461 --> 00:54:54,463
family.

1781
00:54:54,463 --> 00:54:55,464
Today I want to temperature you

1782
00:54:55,464 --> 00:54:57,464
a

1783
00:55:00,134 --> 00:55:01,870
tell you thestory of how hampton is leveling

1784
00:55:01,870 --> 00:55:03,772
up not only by offering more

1785
00:55:03,772 --> 00:55:05,730
programs but making developments

1786
00:55:05,730 --> 00:55:07,375
that create impact in the lives

1787
00:55:07,375 --> 00:55:07,809
of young people, families and

1788
00:55:07,809 --> 00:55:09,809
neighborhoods.

1789
00:55:10,679 --> 00:55:11,847
For us leveling up means moving

1790
00:55:11,847 --> 00:55:13,315
beyond isolated activities

1791
00:55:13,315 --> 00:55:14,549
toward a connected system of

1792
00:55:14,549 --> 00:55:16,549
accountability and opportunity.

1793
00:55:16,985 --> 00:55:19,200
It means addressing trauma so

1794
00:55:19,200 --> 00:55:20,389
people can heal, strengthen

1795
00:55:20,389 --> 00:55:22,758
stability skills and future

1796
00:55:22,758 --> 00:55:24,593
readiness so they can rebuild,

1797
00:55:24,593 --> 00:55:25,794
and helping young people and

1798
00:55:25,794 --> 00:55:26,895
communities reach their fullest

1799
00:55:26,895 --> 00:55:27,229
potential so that they can

1800
00:55:27,229 --> 00:55:28,530
thrive.

1801
00:55:28,530 --> 00:55:30,133
This annual report reflects the

1802
00:55:30,133 --> 00:55:31,533
city's commitment to creating

1803
00:55:31,533 --> 00:55:34,269
better outcomes for youth and

1804
00:55:34,269 --> 00:55:35,371
young adults across prevention,

1805
00:55:35,371 --> 00:55:36,973
intervention, workforce

1806
00:55:36,973 --> 00:55:38,474
development, housing

1807
00:55:38,474 --> 00:55:40,474
stabilization, neighborhood

1808
00:55:40,476 --> 00:55:40,910
engagement and community

1809
00:55:40,910 --> 00:55:42,110
partnerships.

1810
00:55:42,110 --> 00:55:43,312
Hampton's invested in both

1811
00:55:43,312 --> 00:55:45,548
people and the conditions that

1812
00:55:45,548 --> 00:55:47,449
help people succeed.

1813
00:55:47,449 --> 00:55:48,851
The story you will hear today is

1814
00:55:48,851 --> 00:55:51,530
not only about dollars spent, it

1815
00:55:51,530 --> 00:55:51,420
is about what those dollars make

1816
00:55:51,420 --> 00:55:53,420
possible.

1817
00:55:53,823 --> 00:55:54,490
A young person finding

1818
00:55:54,490 --> 00:55:56,459
direction.

1819
00:55:56,459 --> 00:55:57,193
A family remaining stable.

1820
00:55:57,193 --> 00:55:58,628
Grassroots organizations

1821
00:55:58,628 --> 00:55:59,829
expanding its reach.

1822
00:55:59,829 --> 00:56:02,198
And a neighborhood gaining

1823
00:56:02,198 --> 00:56:03,466
direct access to help before

1824
00:56:03,466 --> 00:56:05,168
crisis become consequences.

1825
00:56:05,168 --> 00:56:05,702
That is the promise behind this

1826
00:56:05,702 --> 00:56:07,702
work.

1827
00:56:08,671 --> 00:56:09,405
When we engage community with

1828
00:56:09,405 --> 00:56:11,405
intention, investment becomes

1829
00:56:11,474 --> 00:56:14,110
impact and impact gives hampton

1830
00:56:14,110 --> 00:56:15,211
the opportunity to heal, rebuild

1831
00:56:15,211 --> 00:56:17,211
and thrive.

1832
00:56:17,480 --> 00:56:19,115
Our work is rooted in a simple

1833
00:56:19,115 --> 00:56:20,850
belief every young person

1834
00:56:20,850 --> 00:56:22,152
deserves an opportunity, every

1835
00:56:22,152 --> 00:56:24,552
family deserves support and

1836
00:56:24,754 --> 00:56:25,550
every neighborhood deserves

1837
00:56:25,550 --> 00:56:26,560
hope.

1838
00:56:26,560 --> 00:56:26,823
The progress highlighted

1839
00:56:26,823 --> 00:56:28,158
throughout this report belongs

1840
00:56:28,158 --> 00:56:30,558
to all of us.

1841
00:56:30,761 --> 00:56:33,663
Our city council, our city

1842
00:56:33,663 --> 00:56:35,298
manager, mayor, staff, steering

1843
00:56:35,298 --> 00:56:36,401
committee, community

1844
00:56:36,401 --> 00:56:37,601
organizations, law enforcement,

1845
00:56:37,601 --> 00:56:39,269
schools, faith leaders,

1846
00:56:39,269 --> 00:56:40,704
businesses, residents and most

1847
00:56:40,704 --> 00:56:42,105
importantly, the young people

1848
00:56:42,105 --> 00:56:43,440
who continue to choose a

1849
00:56:43,440 --> 00:56:45,750
different path every day.

1850
00:56:45,750 --> 00:56:46,877
I would like to take a moment to

1851
00:56:46,877 --> 00:56:48,512
pause to acknowledge the

1852
00:56:48,512 --> 00:56:49,246
presence of our hopeful hampton

1853
00:56:49,246 --> 00:56:51,646
steering committee members that

1854
00:56:56,320 --> 00:56:58,220
are present and I'll ask them to

1855
00:56:58,220 --> 00:56:59,924
stand.

1856
00:56:59,924 --> 00:57:01,759
Thank you.

1857
00:57:01,759 --> 00:57:03,261
Our violence interrupters who

1858
00:57:03,261 --> 00:57:05,362
are present as well, would you

1859
00:57:05,362 --> 00:57:05,996
please stand.

1860
00:57:05,996 --> 00:57:07,996
Thank you.

1861
00:57:07,998 --> 00:57:09,660
And the staff team of youth and

1862
00:57:09,660 --> 00:57:11,466
young adult opportunities, would

1863
00:57:13,170 --> 00:57:14,805
you please stand.

1864
00:57:14,805 --> 00:57:16,805
Thank you.

1865
00:57:17,108 --> 00:57:17,776
While we celebrate significant

1866
00:57:17,776 --> 00:57:19,776
accomplishments, we also

1867
00:57:20,211 --> 00:57:21,779
recognize that our work is far

1868
00:57:21,779 --> 00:57:22,747
from complete.

1869
00:57:22,747 --> 00:57:23,981
Balance prevention is not a

1870
00:57:23,981 --> 00:57:25,283
destination, it is a long-term

1871
00:57:25,283 --> 00:57:27,252
commitment that requires

1872
00:57:27,252 --> 00:57:28,386
courage, collaboration,

1873
00:57:28,386 --> 00:57:28,786
innovation and sustained

1874
00:57:28,786 --> 00:57:30,121
investment.

1875
00:57:30,121 --> 00:57:32,390
As we move into the next fiscal

1876
00:57:32,390 --> 00:57:33,491
year, we remain committed to

1877
00:57:33,491 --> 00:57:34,993
strengthening protective

1878
00:57:34,993 --> 00:57:36,428
factors, creating meaningful

1879
00:57:36,428 --> 00:57:37,595
opportunities, building safer

1880
00:57:37,595 --> 00:57:39,898
neighborhoods and ensuring every

1881
00:57:39,898 --> 00:57:41,666
young person has the chance to

1882
00:57:41,666 --> 00:57:43,401
heal, rebuild and thrive.

1883
00:57:43,401 --> 00:57:45,370
Together we are proving that

1884
00:57:45,370 --> 00:57:46,438
when a city believes in people,

1885
00:57:46,438 --> 00:57:48,438
transformation is possible.

1886
00:57:49,700 --> 00:57:50,800
And before we begin, looking at

1887
00:57:50,800 --> 00:57:53,800
spreadsheets and numbers I want

1888
00:57:53,712 --> 00:57:56,548
us to take a moment to look at

1889
00:57:56,548 --> 00:57:57,884
some success stories.

1890
00:57:57,884 --> 00:57:58,650
I want us to pause with the

1891
00:57:58,650 --> 00:58:00,619
stories on this slide.

1892
00:58:00,619 --> 00:58:03,190
These letters and reflections

1893
00:58:03,388 --> 00:58:04,890
remind us that every day in

1894
00:58:04,890 --> 00:58:06,125
point represents a person whose

1895
00:58:06,125 --> 00:58:07,926
life was touched by opportunity,

1896
00:58:07,926 --> 00:58:09,926
support and hope.

1897
00:58:10,195 --> 00:58:11,960
One young person describes how

1898
00:58:11,960 --> 00:58:13,496
summer youth employment provided

1899
00:58:14,866 --> 00:58:16,168
more than a paycheque

1900
00:58:16,168 --> 00:58:18,370
paycheck.

1901
00:58:18,370 --> 00:58:19,438
It ultimately landed them a job

1902
00:58:19,438 --> 00:58:21,573
in a federal facility.

1903
00:58:21,573 --> 00:58:24,573
The city of hampton's investment

1904
00:58:24,677 --> 00:58:26,645
created the structure but caring

1905
00:58:26,645 --> 00:58:27,814
staff, mentors and community

1906
00:58:27,814 --> 00:58:29,381
partners helped turn that

1907
00:58:29,381 --> 00:58:29,783
structure into a life changing

1908
00:58:29,783 --> 00:58:31,751
experience.

1909
00:58:31,751 --> 00:58:33,386
The result is not simply program

1910
00:58:33,386 --> 00:58:33,786
participation, it is greater

1911
00:58:33,786 --> 00:58:35,786
confidence.

1912
00:58:36,222 --> 00:58:37,757
It is stronger relationships,

1913
00:58:37,757 --> 00:58:38,124
new skills and a clearer path

1914
00:58:38,124 --> 00:58:40,124
forward.

1915
00:58:40,994 --> 00:58:43,620
When I reflect on fiscal year

1916
00:58:43,620 --> 00:58:43,963
'26, I don't first think about

1917
00:58:43,963 --> 00:58:44,965
programs, budgets or statistics,

1918
00:58:44,965 --> 00:58:46,866
I think about people.

1919
00:58:46,866 --> 00:58:48,734
I think about the young man who

1920
00:58:48,734 --> 00:58:49,936
completed probation, found

1921
00:58:49,936 --> 00:58:51,771
employment and now believes

1922
00:58:51,771 --> 00:58:53,640
tomorrow is worth fighting for

1923
00:58:53,640 --> 00:58:53,940
and is still connected to fed ex

1924
00:58:53,940 --> 00:58:55,940
today.

1925
00:58:56,376 --> 00:58:59,976
I think about the student who

1926
00:59:00,800 --> 00:59:01,815
received an acceptance letter,

1927
00:59:01,815 --> 00:59:03,449
who will be joining the ranks of

1928
00:59:03,449 --> 00:59:04,417
higher institution this

1929
00:59:04,417 --> 00:59:06,860
particular AUGUST and actually

1930
00:59:06,860 --> 00:59:08,421
in just one day or two will be

1931
00:59:08,421 --> 00:59:09,990
going off to school after having

1932
00:59:09,990 --> 00:59:10,724
participated in our hopeful

1933
00:59:10,724 --> 00:59:12,724
hampton divergent program.

1934
00:59:13,260 --> 00:59:15,362
I think about families who found

1935
00:59:15,362 --> 00:59:16,630
hope instead of despair,

1936
00:59:16,630 --> 00:59:17,264
neighborhoods that discovered

1937
00:59:17,264 --> 00:59:18,266
partners instead of barriers.

1938
00:59:18,266 --> 00:59:20,100
Every number in this report

1939
00:59:20,100 --> 00:59:20,434
represents a life, a family or a

1940
00:59:20,434 --> 00:59:22,434
future.

1941
00:59:22,503 --> 00:59:23,604
As we review the rest of the

1942
00:59:23,604 --> 00:59:24,504
report, I invite you to keep

1943
00:59:24,504 --> 00:59:26,540
these young people in mind.

1944
00:59:26,540 --> 00:59:28,800
They are the reason behind every

1945
00:59:28,800 --> 00:59:30,110
investment and clearest evidence

1946
00:59:30,110 --> 00:59:32,279
of why this work matters.

1947
00:59:32,279 --> 00:59:34,916
With the human factor and view,

1948
00:59:34,916 --> 00:59:36,950
let us look at this dashboard.

1949
00:59:36,950 --> 00:59:39,350
This dashboard represents our

1950
00:59:40,221 --> 00:59:42,900
programs as they operate, as

1951
00:59:42,900 --> 00:59:44,391
they connect the continuum

1952
00:59:44,391 --> 00:59:44,792
rather than isolating

1953
00:59:44,792 --> 00:59:46,394
initiatives.

1954
00:59:46,394 --> 00:59:46,761
Opportunity connect received 117

1955
00:59:46,761 --> 00:59:48,761
referrals.

1956
00:59:49,960 --> 00:59:50,264
Of those referrals, 73

1957
00:59:50,264 --> 00:59:52,133
individuals were eligible for

1958
00:59:52,133 --> 00:59:54,133
wraparound services, while 44

1959
00:59:54,235 --> 00:59:54,602
were referred to external

1960
00:59:54,602 --> 00:59:55,770
resources.

1961
00:59:55,770 --> 00:59:57,371
It is important to note here

1962
00:59:57,371 --> 00:59:59,807
that in some cases, the office

1963
00:59:59,807 --> 01:00:00,741
MAY be unable to provide the

1964
01:00:00,741 --> 01:00:01,843
specific services requested

1965
01:00:01,843 --> 01:00:04,450
because the individual falls

1966
01:00:04,450 --> 01:00:05,447
outside of the program's

1967
01:00:05,447 --> 01:00:06,548
eligibility requirements, such

1968
01:00:06,548 --> 01:00:09,548
as the requested assistance is

1969
01:00:10,752 --> 01:00:11,853
outside of our authorized scope,

1970
01:00:11,853 --> 01:00:14,220
relocation or bill assistance

1971
01:00:14,220 --> 01:00:15,223
was requested or the person is

1972
01:00:15,223 --> 01:00:17,223
already receiving coordinated

1973
01:00:19,294 --> 01:00:19,661
case management through another

1974
01:00:19,661 --> 01:00:21,620
provider.

1975
01:00:21,620 --> 01:00:23,165
Some additional exclusions MAY

1976
01:00:23,165 --> 01:00:24,699
be they're not a hampton

1977
01:00:24,699 --> 01:00:27,102
resident or outside of the age

1978
01:00:27,102 --> 01:00:27,969
range for the referral.

1979
01:00:27,969 --> 01:00:29,472
However, being ineligible for

1980
01:00:29,472 --> 01:00:32,107
one of our programs does not

1981
01:00:32,107 --> 01:00:32,407
mean that we simply turn someone

1982
01:00:32,407 --> 01:00:34,276
away.

1983
01:00:34,276 --> 01:00:35,845
Wherever possible, we provide a

1984
01:00:35,845 --> 01:00:37,412
warm referral to an agency

1985
01:00:37,412 --> 01:00:38,470
better positioned to address

1986
01:00:38,470 --> 01:00:39,915
that need.

1987
01:00:39,915 --> 01:00:41,717
our goal is to help the resident

1988
01:00:41,717 --> 01:00:43,452
reach the right door, even when

1989
01:00:43,452 --> 01:00:43,785
the office is not the final

1990
01:00:43,785 --> 01:00:45,785
door.

1991
01:00:45,955 --> 01:00:48,955
The dashboard also reflects our

1992
01:00:49,491 --> 01:00:51,260
broader impact, 146 youth placed

1993
01:00:51,260 --> 01:00:53,660
through summer youth employment

1994
01:00:53,662 --> 01:00:55,298
programs, 13 young people served

1995
01:00:55,298 --> 01:00:56,932
through our divergent cohorts

1996
01:00:56,932 --> 01:00:58,467
and five neighborhood youth

1997
01:00:58,467 --> 01:00:59,835
employee associates completing

1998
01:00:59,835 --> 01:01:00,235
year round workforce

1999
01:01:00,235 --> 01:01:02,235
development.

2000
01:01:02,237 --> 01:01:03,672
The larger story is that hampton

2001
01:01:03,672 --> 01:01:05,107
is building infrastructure

2002
01:01:05,107 --> 01:01:07,760
around people with multiple

2003
01:01:07,760 --> 01:01:09,476
entry points and multiple

2004
01:01:12,381 --> 01:01:13,816
pathways toward success.

2005
01:01:13,816 --> 01:01:15,816
Housing stability is

2006
01:01:16,180 --> 01:01:17,220
foundational to youth

2007
01:01:17,220 --> 01:01:17,653
development and violence

2008
01:01:17,653 --> 01:01:19,880
prevention.

2009
01:01:19,880 --> 01:01:20,156
A young person cannot

2010
01:01:20,156 --> 01:01:20,790
consistently focus on school,

2011
01:01:20,790 --> 01:01:22,790
employment or personal

2012
01:01:22,993 --> 01:01:24,627
development when the family is

2013
01:01:24,627 --> 01:01:25,929
facing displacement, hunger or

2014
01:01:25,929 --> 01:01:27,931
an immediate housing crisis.

2015
01:01:27,931 --> 01:01:29,931
During fiscal year 26,

2016
01:01:31,100 --> 01:01:32,902
opportunity connect invested

2017
01:01:32,902 --> 01:01:34,871
$10,157.30 in housing and family

2018
01:01:34,871 --> 01:01:35,939
stabilization assistance.

2019
01:01:35,939 --> 01:01:37,907
That investment supported four

2020
01:01:37,907 --> 01:01:39,907
families experiencing emergency

2021
01:01:43,980 --> 01:01:45,980
housing needs, provided

2022
01:01:47,191 --> 01:01:47,342
emergency food since and

2023
01:01:47,342 --> 01:01:47,491
addressed five stabilization

2024
01:01:47,491 --> 01:01:49,491
cases overall.

2025
01:01:50,220 --> 01:01:51,989
It included 6,800 in emergency

2026
01:01:51,989 --> 01:01:53,989
housing stabilization, 1,000 in

2027
01:01:55,792 --> 01:01:57,792
rental assistance, $2,282.30 in

2028
01:01:58,929 --> 01:02:00,197
temporary lodging and $75 in

2029
01:02:00,197 --> 01:02:02,197
emergency food support.

2030
01:02:02,332 --> 01:02:03,300
The immediate outcome was the

2031
01:02:03,300 --> 01:02:05,302
families that received the

2032
01:02:05,302 --> 01:02:07,638
support necessary to remain

2033
01:02:07,638 --> 01:02:09,573
sheltered, avoid deeper crisis

2034
01:02:09,573 --> 01:02:10,908
and address urgent food needs.

2035
01:02:10,908 --> 01:02:12,576
These interventions gave

2036
01:02:12,576 --> 01:02:14,678
families additional time and

2037
01:02:14,678 --> 01:02:17,114
stability to work through their

2038
01:02:17,114 --> 01:02:19,114
individualized service balance

2039
01:02:20,818 --> 01:02:21,485
as well.

2040
01:02:21,485 --> 01:02:22,453
To distinguish between

2041
01:02:22,453 --> 01:02:23,321
assistance provided and

2042
01:02:23,321 --> 01:02:25,321
long-term outcomes.

2043
01:02:27,825 --> 01:02:29,260
The during data demonstrates

2044
01:02:29,260 --> 01:02:31,530
that as we stabilize our

2045
01:02:31,530 --> 01:02:32,730
evaluation model we also want to

2046
01:02:32,730 --> 01:02:35,130
measure where the families

2047
01:02:36,000 --> 01:02:37,402
remain housed 30, 60 and 90 days

2048
01:02:37,402 --> 01:02:38,503
after receiving assistance.

2049
01:02:38,503 --> 01:02:39,504
>> hugo, if I can just add for

2050
01:02:39,504 --> 01:02:40,538
clarity, this is -- I want to be

2051
01:02:40,538 --> 01:02:43,538
clear, these are the investments

2052
01:02:43,608 --> 01:02:46,211
being done by this office.

2053
01:02:46,211 --> 01:02:47,111
Which obviously have larger

2054
01:02:47,111 --> 01:02:48,980
housing stabilization programs

2055
01:02:48,980 --> 01:02:50,148
through our human services

2056
01:02:50,148 --> 01:02:51,983
department, for people who for

2057
01:02:51,983 --> 01:02:53,184
instance are on the verge of

2058
01:02:53,184 --> 01:02:54,853
homelessness, experiencing

2059
01:02:54,853 --> 01:02:56,688
homelessness and whatnot.

2060
01:02:56,688 --> 01:02:57,656
What hugo is describing here is

2061
01:02:57,656 --> 01:02:59,958
the direct efforts for people

2062
01:02:59,958 --> 01:03:01,693
who are on our vulnerability

2063
01:03:01,693 --> 01:03:04,329
list or who have come to us

2064
01:03:04,329 --> 01:03:06,465
through one of our partner

2065
01:03:06,465 --> 01:03:08,200
agencies as needing specific

2066
01:03:08,200 --> 01:03:09,534
help to avoid falling into the

2067
01:03:09,534 --> 01:03:12,171
trap of being either a victim or

2068
01:03:12,171 --> 01:03:14,571
a perpetrator of crime.

2069
01:03:14,707 --> 01:03:15,807
So I don't think you to think

2070
01:03:15,807 --> 01:03:17,310
that's all the we've done with

2071
01:03:17,310 --> 01:03:17,743
respect to housing

2072
01:03:17,743 --> 01:03:18,410
stabilization.

2073
01:03:18,410 --> 01:03:19,778
This is the specific efforts

2074
01:03:19,778 --> 01:03:20,346
around this department and

2075
01:03:20,346 --> 01:03:22,346
hopeful hampton.

2076
01:03:24,820 --> 01:03:25,918
>> yes, thank you.

2077
01:03:25,918 --> 01:03:27,787
I'm happy to also report that

2078
01:03:27,787 --> 01:03:30,787
these families are still stable

2079
01:03:35,528 --> 01:03:36,729
and have remained connected to

2080
01:03:36,729 --> 01:03:39,129
employment, including jobs at

2081
01:03:39,598 --> 01:03:41,867
amazon and fed ex.

2082
01:03:41,867 --> 01:03:42,234
Stable homes build stronger

2083
01:03:42,234 --> 01:03:43,202
families.

2084
01:03:43,202 --> 01:03:44,503
That is how housing

2085
01:03:44,503 --> 01:03:46,606
stabilization becomes a part of

2086
01:03:46,606 --> 01:03:49,606
lamp's larger story of healing,

2087
01:03:50,376 --> 01:03:51,244
rebuilding and thriving.

2088
01:03:51,244 --> 01:03:53,450
Opportunity connect also

2089
01:03:53,450 --> 01:03:55,214
demonstrates the impact that is

2090
01:03:55,214 --> 01:03:57,160
created not only through direct

2091
01:03:57,160 --> 01:03:58,317
assistance but also through

2092
01:03:58,317 --> 01:04:00,287
strategic investment and trusted

2093
01:04:00,287 --> 01:04:00,686
community spaces and

2094
01:04:00,686 --> 01:04:02,686
experiences.

2095
01:04:06,793 --> 01:04:08,950
During fiscal year 2026,

2096
01:04:08,950 --> 01:04:10,950
$22,345.08 in directions and

2097
01:04:10,964 --> 01:04:12,265
direct stipends for

2098
01:04:12,265 --> 01:04:14,665
incentivization helped the city

2099
01:04:15,335 --> 01:04:17,735
respond to real-time needs.

2100
01:04:19,806 --> 01:04:20,607
An additional $569.85 supported

2101
01:04:20,607 --> 01:04:22,476
activities and programing.

2102
01:04:22,476 --> 01:04:23,710
Together these resources helped

2103
01:04:23,710 --> 01:04:24,912
remove barriers by creating

2104
01:04:24,912 --> 01:04:27,312
opportunities for young people

2105
01:04:28,415 --> 01:04:29,283
and families to connect in

2106
01:04:29,283 --> 01:04:29,716
positive, supportive

2107
01:04:29,716 --> 01:04:31,418
environments.

2108
01:04:31,418 --> 01:04:33,420
The city supported initiatives

2109
01:04:33,420 --> 01:04:35,589
such as the commonwealth cares,

2110
01:04:35,589 --> 01:04:37,989
youthfest 25 with the greater

2111
01:04:38,959 --> 01:04:40,794
aberdeen community coalition,

2112
01:04:40,794 --> 01:04:42,794
the [Indiscernible] Community

2113
01:04:43,430 --> 01:04:44,531
event, 707 community showcase,

2114
01:04:44,531 --> 01:04:46,200
trunk retreat celebrations

2115
01:04:46,200 --> 01:04:48,600
through our recreation and

2116
01:04:48,769 --> 01:04:51,639
leisure services and a toy drive

2117
01:04:51,639 --> 01:04:52,840
with 249 ninja in the phoebus

2118
01:04:52,840 --> 01:04:54,840
area.

2119
01:04:55,710 --> 01:04:57,645
Each activity served a strategic

2120
01:04:57,645 --> 01:04:58,879
purpose, strengthening trust and

2121
01:04:58,879 --> 01:04:59,747
neighborhood relationships,

2122
01:04:59,747 --> 01:05:02,147
resource rich gatherings expand

2123
01:05:02,483 --> 01:05:04,180
access to services, athletics

2124
01:05:04,180 --> 01:05:05,519
mentoring celebrations and

2125
01:05:05,519 --> 01:05:06,387
family activities create

2126
01:05:06,387 --> 01:05:08,156
protective experiences that

2127
01:05:08,156 --> 01:05:09,458
reduce isolation, reinforce

2128
01:05:09,458 --> 01:05:11,459
belonging and give young people

2129
01:05:11,459 --> 01:05:13,262
constructive ways to engage.

2130
01:05:13,262 --> 01:05:14,262
The city's role was not to

2131
01:05:14,262 --> 01:05:16,431
replace community leadership, it

2132
01:05:16,431 --> 01:05:18,399
was to resource it.

2133
01:05:18,399 --> 01:05:18,733
Connect it and help it reach

2134
01:05:18,733 --> 01:05:20,201
further.

2135
01:05:20,201 --> 01:05:21,636
This is responsive government,

2136
01:05:21,636 --> 01:05:23,371
listening for where we can

2137
01:05:23,371 --> 01:05:25,139
support and unlock momentum and

2138
01:05:25,139 --> 01:05:28,420
then invest it in ways where we

2139
01:05:28,420 --> 01:05:29,430
can meet people where they are.

2140
01:05:29,430 --> 01:05:30,446
Every dollar represented more

2141
01:05:30,446 --> 01:05:31,980
than financial assistance, it

2142
01:05:31,980 --> 01:05:33,980
represents hampton's commitment

2143
01:05:34,416 --> 01:05:36,217
to stronger families, safer

2144
01:05:36,217 --> 01:05:38,617
neighborhoods and a community

2145
01:05:41,220 --> 01:05:41,589
where opportunity is visible and

2146
01:05:41,589 --> 01:05:43,224
accessible.

2147
01:05:43,224 --> 01:05:45,624
Our summer youth employment

2148
01:05:45,961 --> 01:05:46,862
program continues to be one of

2149
01:05:46,862 --> 01:05:48,764
hampton's strongest violence

2150
01:05:48,764 --> 01:05:49,398
preference and workforce

2151
01:05:49,398 --> 01:05:50,632
development developments,

2152
01:05:50,632 --> 01:05:52,501
because it connects young people

2153
01:05:52,501 --> 01:05:54,501
with meaningful employment,

2154
01:05:55,437 --> 01:05:58,437
caring adults and real world

2155
01:05:58,807 --> 01:05:59,174
experiences that extend beyond a

2156
01:05:59,174 --> 01:06:01,174
paycheck.

2157
01:06:02,645 --> 01:06:03,846
This summer we received 332

2158
01:06:03,846 --> 01:06:05,381
applications, interviewed 330

2159
01:06:05,381 --> 01:06:07,781
young people and successfully

2160
01:06:08,417 --> 01:06:10,817
hired and placed 146 youth

2161
01:06:11,720 --> 01:06:13,122
across 52 host sites.

2162
01:06:13,122 --> 01:06:14,624
These placements span virtually

2163
01:06:14,624 --> 01:06:15,591
every major sector of city

2164
01:06:15,591 --> 01:06:16,926
government, from public works

2165
01:06:16,926 --> 01:06:19,195
and parks and recreation to

2166
01:06:19,195 --> 01:06:20,296
human services, education and

2167
01:06:20,296 --> 01:06:22,296
business administration.

2168
01:06:22,465 --> 01:06:24,000
This year's implementation

2169
01:06:24,000 --> 01:06:25,535
required significantly more

2170
01:06:25,535 --> 01:06:25,835
coordination than previous

2171
01:06:25,835 --> 01:06:26,536
years.

2172
01:06:26,536 --> 01:06:28,871
Beyond matching students with

2173
01:06:28,871 --> 01:06:31,741
host sites, our team managed

2174
01:06:31,741 --> 01:06:32,842
recruitment onboarding,

2175
01:06:32,842 --> 01:06:34,677
orientations, compliance

2176
01:06:34,677 --> 01:06:35,745
requirements, work site support,

2177
01:06:35,745 --> 01:06:37,380
payroll coordination and

2178
01:06:37,380 --> 01:06:37,980
continual engagement with both

2179
01:06:37,980 --> 01:06:38,916
students and supervisors

2180
01:06:38,916 --> 01:06:40,916
throughout the summer.

2181
01:06:41,840 --> 01:06:45,210
One area of growth this year was

2182
01:06:45,210 --> 01:06:45,889
our partnership with joint based

2183
01:06:45,889 --> 01:06:47,889
langley [Indiscernible] Where

2184
01:06:49,920 --> 01:06:49,426
eligible youth had to attain a

2185
01:06:49,426 --> 01:06:51,160
really.

2186
01:06:51,160 --> 01:06:53,330
D or passport before placement,

2187
01:06:53,330 --> 01:06:54,564
while that created additional

2188
01:06:54,564 --> 01:06:55,765
planning responsibility, it also

2189
01:06:55,765 --> 01:06:57,500
opened doors to career

2190
01:06:57,500 --> 01:06:59,603
experiences many of our youth

2191
01:06:59,603 --> 01:06:59,870
would not otherwise have access

2192
01:06:59,870 --> 01:07:01,137
to.

2193
01:07:01,137 --> 01:07:03,540
And speaking with the base

2194
01:07:03,540 --> 01:07:06,540
command, they actually asked us

2195
01:07:10,514 --> 01:07:13,514
to consider staffing the uestace

2196
01:07:14,510 --> 01:07:16,510
base as well.

2197
01:07:17,321 --> 01:07:19,321
We will

2198
01:07:20,791 --> 01:07:21,759
with him see if a potential

2199
01:07:21,759 --> 01:07:23,460
partnership exist there is.

2200
01:07:23,460 --> 01:07:25,896
The program isn't simply about

2201
01:07:25,896 --> 01:07:27,531
summer jobs, it is about

2202
01:07:27,531 --> 01:07:29,500
building workforce readiness,

2203
01:07:29,500 --> 01:07:30,701
expanding career exposure,

2204
01:07:30,701 --> 01:07:31,735
strengthening mentorship

2205
01:07:31,735 --> 01:07:33,735
opportunities and creating

2206
01:07:38,442 --> 01:07:39,877
lasting community impact.

2207
01:07:39,877 --> 01:07:40,644
Today's report represents the

2208
01:07:40,644 --> 01:07:42,146
implementation phase rather than

2209
01:07:42,146 --> 01:07:44,546
the final outcome phase.

2210
01:07:45,820 --> 01:07:46,830
The true impact of this year's

2211
01:07:46,830 --> 01:07:48,860
cohort will be measured

2212
01:07:48,860 --> 01:07:49,687
following midpoint evaluations

2213
01:07:49,687 --> 01:07:51,989
and program evaluations, which

2214
01:07:51,989 --> 01:07:53,989
are happening now.

2215
01:07:54,225 --> 01:07:56,428
Youth satisfaction surveys, host

2216
01:07:56,428 --> 01:07:58,620
site feedback, employment

2217
01:07:58,620 --> 01:07:59,931
retention data and documented

2218
01:07:59,931 --> 01:08:01,499
workforce readiness outcomes.

2219
01:08:01,499 --> 01:08:03,340
Those comprehensive findings

2220
01:08:03,340 --> 01:08:05,236
will be included in next year's

2221
01:08:05,236 --> 01:08:07,305
annual report, allowing us to

2222
01:08:07,305 --> 01:08:09,108
measure not simply participation

2223
01:08:09,108 --> 01:08:10,408
but long-term growth.

2224
01:08:10,408 --> 01:08:11,976
Skill development and career

2225
01:08:11,976 --> 01:08:13,478
readiness while we celebrate the

2226
01:08:13,478 --> 01:08:15,580
number of youth served today,

2227
01:08:15,580 --> 01:08:17,782
our greater success will be

2228
01:08:17,782 --> 01:08:18,984
ultimately measured by how many

2229
01:08:18,984 --> 01:08:21,153
young people leave this

2230
01:08:21,153 --> 01:08:22,821
experience more employable and

2231
01:08:22,821 --> 01:08:24,689
ready and more confident and

2232
01:08:24,689 --> 01:08:26,910
willing to take on career

2233
01:08:26,910 --> 01:08:27,159
opportunities.

2234
01:08:27,159 --> 01:08:29,559
As participation continues to

2235
01:08:30,280 --> 01:08:30,896
grow, so does the operational

2236
01:08:30,896 --> 01:08:33,296
complexity of the program.

2237
01:08:33,398 --> 01:08:35,501
this is not a seasonal project

2238
01:08:35,501 --> 01:08:36,702
any longer, planning begins

2239
01:08:36,702 --> 01:08:38,771
months well before the first

2240
01:08:38,771 --> 01:08:41,400
student is hired and continues

2241
01:08:41,400 --> 01:08:42,908
well after the final workday,

2242
01:08:42,908 --> 01:08:44,676
through evaluations, employer

2243
01:08:44,676 --> 01:08:46,676
engagement, compliance,

2244
01:08:47,179 --> 01:08:48,281
reporting, recruitment and

2245
01:08:48,281 --> 01:08:49,949
participation in the next

2246
01:08:49,949 --> 01:08:52,349
program cycle or preparation

2247
01:08:52,918 --> 01:08:53,218
excuse me for the next program

2248
01:08:53,218 --> 01:08:54,453
cycle.

2249
01:08:54,453 --> 01:08:56,322
The sustained -- to strengthen

2250
01:08:56,322 --> 01:08:57,356
and sustain this momentum, we

2251
01:08:57,356 --> 01:08:59,459
will be requesting at the

2252
01:08:59,459 --> 01:09:01,528
appropriate time a full-time

2253
01:09:01,528 --> 01:09:03,262
program facilitator dedicated

2254
01:09:03,262 --> 01:09:04,530
exclusively to planning

2255
01:09:04,530 --> 01:09:05,631
coordination, execution and

2256
01:09:05,631 --> 01:09:07,660
continuous improvement of the

2257
01:09:07,660 --> 01:09:08,701
summer youth employment program.

2258
01:09:08,701 --> 01:09:10,369
Adding this capacity allows

2259
01:09:10,369 --> 01:09:12,271
leadership to focus on strategic

2260
01:09:12,271 --> 01:09:13,806
growth while ensuring the

2261
01:09:13,806 --> 01:09:15,975
day-to-day operations of one of

2262
01:09:15,975 --> 01:09:17,511
hampton's largest youth

2263
01:09:17,511 --> 01:09:19,511
workforce initiatives, receive

2264
01:09:22,515 --> 01:09:24,150
the dedicated attention it now

2265
01:09:24,150 --> 01:09:26,150
requires.

2266
01:09:26,553 --> 01:09:27,220
The hopeful hampton divergent

2267
01:09:27,220 --> 01:09:28,455
program.

2268
01:09:28,455 --> 01:09:28,988
The hopeful lamp

2269
01:09:28,988 --> 01:09:29,756
rg hampton

2270
01:09:29,756 --> 01:09:31,758
divergent program provides early

2271
01:09:31,758 --> 01:09:34,158
and intensive intervention for

2272
01:09:34,828 --> 01:09:35,162
young people facing elevated

2273
01:09:35,162 --> 01:09:37,162
risk.

2274
01:09:37,197 --> 01:09:39,597
During fiscal year 2026 the

2275
01:09:40,168 --> 01:09:41,135
program operated two twelve-week

2276
01:09:41,135 --> 01:09:42,569
cohorts providing 24 total weeks

2277
01:09:42,569 --> 01:09:43,537
of programing and serving 13

2278
01:09:43,537 --> 01:09:45,537
young people.

2279
01:09:46,239 --> 01:09:47,741
Of those participants, 53.8%

2280
01:09:47,741 --> 01:09:49,710
were age 15 or younger.

2281
01:09:49,710 --> 01:09:50,811
That is significant because it

2282
01:09:50,811 --> 01:09:52,447
demonstrates that we are

2283
01:09:52,447 --> 01:09:54,480
reaching young people early

2284
01:09:54,480 --> 01:09:55,683
enough to influence their

2285
01:09:55,683 --> 01:09:56,116
decisions and future

2286
01:09:56,116 --> 01:09:58,116
trajectories.

2287
01:10:00,187 --> 01:10:02,587
the city invested $72,581.99 in

2288
01:10:03,290 --> 01:10:04,625
participant stipends, mentors,

2289
01:10:04,625 --> 01:10:06,625
mindfulness and guided

2290
01:10:07,127 --> 01:10:08,195
recreation, food and nutrition

2291
01:10:08,195 --> 01:10:10,195
equipment, experiencial learning

2292
01:10:10,531 --> 01:10:11,399
and commencement activities.

2293
01:10:11,399 --> 01:10:13,340
Approximately 87.5% of the

2294
01:10:13,340 --> 01:10:15,434
funding was invested directly

2295
01:10:15,503 --> 01:10:17,371
into program services.

2296
01:10:17,371 --> 01:10:18,239
Based on the total investment

2297
01:10:18,239 --> 01:10:20,639
and 13 participants served the

2298
01:10:22,109 --> 01:10:23,778
cost was approximately 5,583

2299
01:10:23,778 --> 01:10:24,680
cents per participant.

2300
01:10:24,680 --> 01:10:26,180
12 of the 13 participants

2301
01:10:26,180 --> 01:10:28,580
completed the program, resulting

2302
01:10:31,553 --> 01:10:32,887
in approximately cost of $6,049

2303
01:10:32,887 --> 01:10:33,655
per completer.

2304
01:10:33,655 --> 01:10:36,124
Those figures should be viewed

2305
01:10:36,124 --> 01:10:36,491
in the context of the program's

2306
01:10:36,491 --> 01:10:38,259
intensity.

2307
01:10:38,259 --> 01:10:41,963
This is not a single workshop or

2308
01:10:41,963 --> 01:10:42,330
a short-term recreational

2309
01:10:42,330 --> 01:10:44,330
activity.

2310
01:10:44,700 --> 01:10:46,568
Participants receive 12 weeks of

2311
01:10:46,568 --> 01:10:48,568
structured intervention,

2312
01:10:48,970 --> 01:10:50,872
stipend, mentoring workforce

2313
01:10:50,872 --> 01:10:51,740
readiness, mindfulness,

2314
01:10:51,740 --> 01:10:53,410
experiencial learning, meals and

2315
01:10:53,410 --> 01:10:53,675
sustained engagement from

2316
01:10:53,675 --> 01:10:55,675
trusted adults.

2317
01:10:56,511 --> 01:10:58,146
Study show that it costs more

2318
01:10:58,146 --> 01:11:00,115
than $110,000 annually to house

2319
01:11:00,115 --> 01:11:00,983
one young person and a juvenile

2320
01:11:00,983 --> 01:11:02,951
detention center.

2321
01:11:02,951 --> 01:11:07,151
Our goal is to reach them now

2322
01:11:08,123 --> 01:11:09,959
rather than to rescue them

2323
01:11:09,959 --> 01:11:11,360
later.

2324
01:11:11,360 --> 01:11:12,494
Investing in prevention before

2325
01:11:12,494 --> 01:11:12,828
incarceration becomes their

2326
01:11:12,828 --> 01:11:13,562
reality.

2327
01:11:13,562 --> 01:11:15,531
It is also important to note

2328
01:11:15,531 --> 01:11:17,733
that incarceration does not mean

2329
01:11:17,733 --> 01:11:19,101
the city abandons a partner.

2330
01:11:19,101 --> 01:11:20,200
If a young people is

2331
01:11:20,200 --> 01:11:20,869
incarcerated during the program,

2332
01:11:20,869 --> 01:11:23,269
our relationship with that

2333
01:11:23,506 --> 01:11:24,707
participant does not

2334
01:11:24,707 --> 01:11:26,309
automatically end.

2335
01:11:26,309 --> 01:11:28,111
Following the release the office

2336
01:11:28,111 --> 01:11:29,679
will attempt to reconnect with

2337
01:11:29,679 --> 01:11:31,214
the young person and re-engage

2338
01:11:31,214 --> 01:11:32,849
them in programing or connect

2339
01:11:32,849 --> 01:11:33,616
them with another appropriate

2340
01:11:33,616 --> 01:11:35,616
opportunity.

2341
01:11:36,190 --> 01:11:38,187
Our message is that a setback

2342
01:11:38,187 --> 01:11:39,722
does not eliminate someone's

2343
01:11:39,722 --> 01:11:41,657
ability to receive support, we

2344
01:11:41,657 --> 01:11:43,859
continue to create opportunities

2345
01:11:43,859 --> 01:11:45,428
for young people, to reconnect,

2346
01:11:45,428 --> 01:11:46,829
rebuild and choose a different

2347
01:11:46,829 --> 01:11:48,798
path.

2348
01:11:48,798 --> 01:11:51,901
That work grows stronger when we

2349
01:11:51,901 --> 01:11:52,335
pair it with trusted

2350
01:11:52,335 --> 01:11:54,335
relationships.

2351
01:11:54,437 --> 01:11:54,971
Which brings us to our outside

2352
01:11:54,971 --> 01:11:56,971
agency partnerships.

2353
01:11:57,574 --> 01:11:58,475
As we continue to level up,

2354
01:11:58,475 --> 01:12:00,900
engaging with our community

2355
01:12:00,900 --> 01:12:01,612
through impact, one of the most

2356
01:12:01,612 --> 01:12:03,460
important lessons we've learned

2357
01:12:03,460 --> 01:12:05,448
is that government cannot do

2358
01:12:05,448 --> 01:12:06,649
this work alone.

2359
01:12:06,649 --> 01:12:08,285
Change happens when we invest in

2360
01:12:08,285 --> 01:12:10,253
people and organizations that

2361
01:12:10,253 --> 01:12:10,687
have earned trust in our

2362
01:12:10,687 --> 01:12:12,687
neighborhoods.

2363
01:12:14,391 --> 01:12:15,692
Our outside agency partners

2364
01:12:15,692 --> 01:12:18,280
catch more kids [Indiscernible]

2365
01:12:18,280 --> 01:12:19,529
Project, love, let our voices in

2366
01:12:19,529 --> 01:12:21,310
power and get back to the block

2367
01:12:21,310 --> 01:12:21,365
serve as an extension of hopeful

2368
01:12:21,365 --> 01:12:22,900
hampton.

2369
01:12:22,900 --> 01:12:23,567
Every day, they are in our

2370
01:12:23,567 --> 01:12:25,302
communities building

2371
01:12:25,302 --> 01:12:27,302
relationships, mentoring youth,

2372
01:12:28,138 --> 01:12:29,600
responding to crises, engaging

2373
01:12:29,600 --> 01:12:31,600
families, transporting

2374
01:12:31,308 --> 01:12:32,509
participants to services,

2375
01:12:32,509 --> 01:12:33,477
supporting workforce

2376
01:12:33,477 --> 01:12:34,645
development, navigating the

2377
01:12:34,645 --> 01:12:36,214
court system and connecting

2378
01:12:36,214 --> 01:12:37,715
young people to opportunities

2379
01:12:37,715 --> 01:12:38,916
that change their lives.

2380
01:12:38,916 --> 01:12:41,180
One of the strongest indicators

2381
01:12:41,180 --> 01:12:42,653
of their impact is that routine

2382
01:12:42,653 --> 01:12:43,421
check-ins were the most frequent

2383
01:12:43,421 --> 01:12:44,956
service provided.

2384
01:12:44,956 --> 01:12:46,991
That tells us this work isn't

2385
01:12:46,991 --> 01:12:49,391
built on one-time interventions,

2386
01:12:49,527 --> 01:12:50,828
it is built on consistent

2387
01:12:50,828 --> 01:12:52,697
relationships, trust,

2388
01:12:52,697 --> 01:12:55,970
accountability and showing up

2389
01:12:55,333 --> 01:12:56,868
day after day.

2390
01:12:56,868 --> 01:12:59,868
When crisis occurred, these same

2391
01:13:00,138 --> 01:13:01,472
organizations were there to

2392
01:13:01,472 --> 01:13:03,472
intervene, stabilize families

2393
01:13:03,841 --> 01:13:04,742
and reconnect youth to positive

2394
01:13:04,742 --> 01:13:05,944
pathways.

2395
01:13:05,944 --> 01:13:07,579
Leveling up means moving beyond

2396
01:13:07,579 --> 01:13:08,130
programs to strengthen

2397
01:13:08,130 --> 01:13:09,314
partnerships.

2398
01:13:09,314 --> 01:13:11,149
Every investment we make in

2399
01:13:11,149 --> 01:13:12,170
these grassroots organizations

2400
01:13:12,170 --> 01:13:13,251
expands the city's capacity to

2401
01:13:13,251 --> 01:13:14,986
reach more young people, to

2402
01:13:14,986 --> 01:13:16,288
respond more effectively and

2403
01:13:16,288 --> 01:13:17,489
build safer neighborhoods from

2404
01:13:17,489 --> 01:13:19,357
the inside out.

2405
01:13:19,357 --> 01:13:20,992
Together we are creating a

2406
01:13:20,992 --> 01:13:22,394
community where prevention is

2407
01:13:22,394 --> 01:13:24,794
shared, opportunity is expanded

2408
01:13:24,930 --> 01:13:26,231
and every young person has the

2409
01:13:26,231 --> 01:13:28,200
support they need to, guess

2410
01:13:28,200 --> 01:13:29,735
what, heal, rebuild and thrive.

2411
01:13:29,735 --> 01:13:31,370
As important as our partnerships

2412
01:13:31,370 --> 01:13:32,971
with outside agencies have been,

2413
01:13:32,971 --> 01:13:35,507
we also recognize that some of

2414
01:13:35,507 --> 01:13:37,643
the most innovative solutions to

2415
01:13:37,643 --> 01:13:39,778
community balance don't begin in

2416
01:13:39,778 --> 01:13:40,212
government, they begin in

2417
01:13:40,212 --> 01:13:42,212
neighborhoods.

2418
01:13:43,480 --> 01:13:45,170
And so while many grants are

2419
01:13:45,170 --> 01:13:46,886
named -- in name, they make very

2420
01:13:46,886 --> 01:13:48,886
big impacts.

2421
01:13:49,121 --> 01:13:50,756
The mini grants program reflects

2422
01:13:50,756 --> 01:13:52,910
a simple but powerful belief,

2423
01:13:52,910 --> 01:13:53,526
communities often know what they

2424
01:13:53,526 --> 01:13:55,127
need and the city investment can

2425
01:13:55,127 --> 01:13:58,127
help local solutions grow much

2426
01:13:58,864 --> 01:14:01,264
in fiscal year 2026, hampton

2427
01:14:03,350 --> 01:14:05,350
invested $96,350 across 12

2428
01:14:05,504 --> 01:14:06,839
grassroots organizations.

2429
01:14:06,839 --> 01:14:07,940
These partners delivered

2430
01:14:07,940 --> 01:14:09,940
mentoring youth, development

2431
01:14:10,109 --> 01:14:11,944
back to school support, violence

2432
01:14:11,944 --> 01:14:13,944
prevention, awareness, mental

2433
01:14:15,682 --> 01:14:17,417
health and wellness programs,

2434
01:14:17,417 --> 01:14:18,518
again helping us impact young

2435
01:14:18,518 --> 01:14:20,386
people where they grow.

2436
01:14:20,386 --> 01:14:22,689
And I'm sorry, that was the mini

2437
01:14:22,689 --> 01:14:24,689
grant investment of $86,000,

2438
01:14:27,394 --> 01:14:28,461
with a donation agreement of

2439
01:14:28,461 --> 01:14:30,461
$22,345.08, bringing our total

2440
01:14:33,660 --> 01:14:35,660
city investment to $108,345.08.

2441
01:14:36,770 --> 01:14:38,105
To ensure accountability and

2442
01:14:38,105 --> 01:14:40,105
equitable investment, proposals

2443
01:14:40,174 --> 01:14:41,174
are reviewed by a

2444
01:14:41,174 --> 01:14:43,174
multidisciplinary committee,

2445
01:14:43,343 --> 01:14:44,945
representing public health,

2446
01:14:44,945 --> 01:14:45,946
education, juvenile justice,

2447
01:14:45,946 --> 01:14:47,946
financial oversight, youth

2448
01:14:48,583 --> 01:14:48,982
development and community

2449
01:14:48,982 --> 01:14:50,951
leadership.

2450
01:14:50,951 --> 01:14:52,920
This collaborative review

2451
01:14:52,920 --> 01:14:55,222
process helps ensure funding

2452
01:14:55,222 --> 01:14:56,757
decisions are transparent, data

2453
01:14:56,757 --> 01:14:58,258
informed, equitable and aligned

2454
01:14:58,258 --> 01:14:58,592
with the mission of hopeful

2455
01:14:58,592 --> 01:15:00,280
hampton.

2456
01:15:00,280 --> 01:15:01,228
By investing directly in

2457
01:15:01,228 --> 01:15:03,228
grassroots organizations, the

2458
01:15:03,631 --> 01:15:05,650
city continues to strengthen

2459
01:15:05,650 --> 01:15:06,900
local capacity, amplify

2460
01:15:06,900 --> 01:15:08,102
community voices and build

2461
01:15:08,102 --> 01:15:10,710
sustainable partnerships that

2462
01:15:10,710 --> 01:15:10,638
improve safety and quality of

2463
01:15:10,638 --> 01:15:12,139
life.

2464
01:15:12,139 --> 01:15:14,709
Looking ahead, we are committed

2465
01:15:14,709 --> 01:15:16,377
to strengthening the mini grant

2466
01:15:16,377 --> 01:15:16,777
program through continuous

2467
01:15:16,777 --> 01:15:17,878
improvement.

2468
01:15:17,878 --> 01:15:20,714
In the coming year, we will

2469
01:15:20,714 --> 01:15:22,483
broaden the program's reach by

2470
01:15:22,483 --> 01:15:24,752
refining eligibility and scoring

2471
01:15:24,752 --> 01:15:25,854
criteria, to encourage greater

2472
01:15:25,854 --> 01:15:27,488
participation from diverse

2473
01:15:27,488 --> 01:15:29,123
community organizations.

2474
01:15:29,123 --> 01:15:31,325
We will also expand monitoring

2475
01:15:31,325 --> 01:15:33,294
through enhanced desk reviews

2476
01:15:33,294 --> 01:15:35,290
and periodic site visits to

2477
01:15:35,290 --> 01:15:37,231
better measure outcomes, provide

2478
01:15:37,231 --> 01:15:38,432
technical assistance and ensure

2479
01:15:38,432 --> 01:15:39,734
accountability.

2480
01:15:39,734 --> 01:15:41,903
Additionally, we plan to

2481
01:15:41,903 --> 01:15:44,303
implement a rotating review

2482
01:15:45,173 --> 01:15:46,410
panel that reflects a broad

2483
01:15:46,410 --> 01:15:47,675
cross-section of community

2484
01:15:47,675 --> 01:15:48,543
expertise and lived experience,

2485
01:15:48,543 --> 01:15:50,211
promoting diverse perspectives

2486
01:15:50,211 --> 01:15:52,247
while maintaining a fair

2487
01:15:52,247 --> 01:15:53,681
objective and defensible grant

2488
01:15:53,681 --> 01:15:56,810
review process and elevating

2489
01:15:57,520 --> 01:15:59,755
youth forces by adding youth

2490
01:15:59,755 --> 01:16:01,189
members to that team as well.

2491
01:16:01,189 --> 01:16:02,825
These enhancements will

2492
01:16:02,825 --> 01:16:04,125
reinforce public trust, improve

2493
01:16:04,125 --> 01:16:05,995
program effectiveness and

2494
01:16:05,995 --> 01:16:07,362
maximize the city's investment

2495
01:16:07,362 --> 01:16:09,362
in community-led violence

2496
01:16:13,201 --> 01:16:13,969
prevention initiatives.

2497
01:16:13,969 --> 01:16:16,369
Our youth violence prevention

2498
01:16:17,806 --> 01:16:18,140
week is hampton's annual call to

2499
01:16:18,140 --> 01:16:20,140
action.

2500
01:16:20,309 --> 01:16:21,843
It is our public health

2501
01:16:21,843 --> 01:16:23,843
awareness initiative, bringing

2502
01:16:24,180 --> 01:16:25,281
together youth, families,

2503
01:16:25,281 --> 01:16:26,649
schools, law enforcement, faith

2504
01:16:26,649 --> 01:16:27,983
leaders, non-profit

2505
01:16:27,983 --> 01:16:29,718
organizations and community

2506
01:16:29,718 --> 01:16:31,353
partners around one shared

2507
01:16:31,353 --> 01:16:32,210
belief: violence prevention is

2508
01:16:32,210 --> 01:16:33,255
everyone's responsibility.

2509
01:16:33,255 --> 01:16:35,624
Throughout the week, events such

2510
01:16:35,624 --> 01:16:37,159
as the reunion of hope, coupled

2511
01:16:37,159 --> 01:16:38,794
with its resource fair, the

2512
01:16:38,794 --> 01:16:41,194
mayor's classic town hall,

2513
01:16:41,497 --> 01:16:43,800
college edition, hopeful hampton

2514
01:16:43,800 --> 01:16:45,201
football showcase and hopefest

2515
01:16:45,201 --> 01:16:46,569
created opportunities for

2516
01:16:46,569 --> 01:16:48,569
meaningful conversations,

2517
01:16:48,938 --> 01:16:50,807
positive youth engagement and

2518
01:16:50,807 --> 01:16:51,240
direct access to community

2519
01:16:51,240 --> 01:16:53,240
resources.

2520
01:16:53,309 --> 01:16:54,744
While these events successfully

2521
01:16:54,744 --> 01:16:55,612
foster connection and

2522
01:16:55,612 --> 01:16:57,460
visibility, they also challenge

2523
01:16:57,460 --> 01:16:59,316
us to think differently about

2524
01:16:59,316 --> 01:17:00,750
how we engage the community.

2525
01:17:00,750 --> 01:17:03,520
As we continue to level up,

2526
01:17:03,520 --> 01:17:04,120
there is an opportunity to

2527
01:17:04,120 --> 01:17:05,855
evolve youth violence prevention

2528
01:17:05,855 --> 01:17:09,455
week from a series of individual

2529
01:17:10,127 --> 01:17:11,428
events into a core city wide

2530
01:17:11,428 --> 01:17:13,828
movement that reaches residents

2531
01:17:14,231 --> 01:17:14,564
where they live, learn, work and

2532
01:17:14,564 --> 01:17:15,532
gather.

2533
01:17:15,532 --> 01:17:16,967
To increase participation,

2534
01:17:16,967 --> 01:17:18,401
accessibility and neighborhood

2535
01:17:18,401 --> 01:17:19,603
ownership, we propose re-imagine

2536
01:17:19,603 --> 01:17:21,371
being youth violence prevention

2537
01:17:21,371 --> 01:17:23,340
week around three community

2538
01:17:23,340 --> 01:17:24,307
impact zones, strategically

2539
01:17:24,307 --> 01:17:25,876
located throughout hampton.

2540
01:17:25,876 --> 01:17:27,277
Rather than asking residents to

2541
01:17:27,277 --> 01:17:28,979
travel across the city, each

2542
01:17:28,979 --> 01:17:30,180
zone would host activities

2543
01:17:30,180 --> 01:17:33,150
tailored to the unique strengths

2544
01:17:33,150 --> 01:17:34,585
and needs of its surrounding

2545
01:17:34,585 --> 01:17:36,585
neighborhoods, while maintaining

2546
01:17:36,753 --> 01:17:38,220
a unified city wide message of

2547
01:17:38,220 --> 01:17:40,391
hope, safety and opportunity.

2548
01:17:40,391 --> 01:17:42,326
In addition the week would

2549
01:17:42,326 --> 01:17:43,627
culminate with a dedicated

2550
01:17:43,627 --> 01:17:45,162
community partners and service

2551
01:17:45,162 --> 01:17:46,363
provider night and evening

2552
01:17:46,363 --> 01:17:47,364
focused on strengthening

2553
01:17:47,364 --> 01:17:49,364
collaboration among agencies,

2554
01:17:50,634 --> 01:17:52,634
non-profit organizations, faith

2555
01:17:52,870 --> 01:17:54,870
communities, schools, behavioral

2556
01:17:55,390 --> 01:17:55,439
health providers and local

2557
01:17:55,439 --> 01:17:56,340
businesses.

2558
01:17:56,340 --> 01:17:58,740
This event would provide

2559
01:17:59,277 --> 01:18:02,277
residents with direct access to

2560
01:18:02,346 --> 01:18:03,548
services while giving providers

2561
01:18:03,548 --> 01:18:04,749
an opportunity to coordinate

2562
01:18:04,749 --> 01:18:06,951
resources and identify new

2563
01:18:06,951 --> 01:18:07,885
partnerships that strengthen

2564
01:18:07,885 --> 01:18:08,252
hampton's violence prevention

2565
01:18:08,252 --> 01:18:10,122
ecosystem.

2566
01:18:10,122 --> 01:18:11,522
As we continue to level up, our

2567
01:18:11,522 --> 01:18:13,157
goal is simply not to host

2568
01:18:13,157 --> 01:18:15,560
events, it is to build a city

2569
01:18:15,560 --> 01:18:16,628
where every neighborhood has a

2570
01:18:16,628 --> 01:18:18,163
voice, every family family has

2571
01:18:18,163 --> 01:18:20,465
access to support and every

2572
01:18:20,465 --> 01:18:23,465
young person has the opportunity

2573
01:18:23,835 --> 01:18:24,702
to heal, rebuild and thrive.

2574
01:18:24,702 --> 01:18:25,270
Prevention today creates

2575
01:18:25,270 --> 01:18:27,500
possibility tomorrow.

2576
01:18:27,500 --> 01:18:28,106
This is how we build saver

2577
01:18:28,106 --> 01:18:30,106
neighborhoods and brighter

2578
01:18:30,375 --> 01:18:32,375
futures together.

2579
01:18:33,912 --> 01:18:35,413
Our urgency center at rip rap

2580
01:18:35,413 --> 01:18:37,182
road represents far more than an

2581
01:18:37,182 --> 01:18:37,549
opening of another city

2582
01:18:37,549 --> 01:18:39,251
facility.

2583
01:18:39,251 --> 01:18:41,119
It represents a new model for

2584
01:18:41,119 --> 01:18:42,187
how hampton serves its

2585
01:18:42,187 --> 01:18:43,880
neighborhoods, bringing

2586
01:18:43,880 --> 01:18:45,880
opportunity, prevention and

2587
01:18:45,324 --> 01:18:47,324
coordinate the

2588
01:18:47,659 --> 01:18:48,260
coordinated services into the

2589
01:18:48,260 --> 01:18:49,328
community.

2590
01:18:49,328 --> 01:18:50,162
Our team has been laying the

2591
01:18:50,162 --> 01:18:52,562
foundation for this moment.

2592
01:18:52,598 --> 01:18:53,932
We have intentionally built the

2593
01:18:53,932 --> 01:18:56,332
operational framework that will

2594
01:18:56,769 --> 01:18:57,870
guide the center's work, build

2595
01:18:57,870 --> 01:18:59,605
partnerships and engage

2596
01:18:59,605 --> 01:19:01,473
residents to better understand

2597
01:19:01,473 --> 01:19:03,873
the needs, interests and

2598
01:19:07,279 --> 01:19:07,647
priorities of the rip rap road

2599
01:19:07,647 --> 01:19:09,140
community.

2600
01:19:09,140 --> 01:19:10,116
It is my privilege to announce

2601
01:19:10,116 --> 01:19:13,116
that we anticipate you joining

2602
01:19:13,486 --> 01:19:15,210
us for our ribbon cutting

2603
01:19:15,210 --> 01:19:15,688
ceremony on wednesday 26 at 1

2604
01:19:15,688 --> 01:19:17,123
P.M.

2605
01:19:17,123 --> 01:19:18,858
Invitations are beginning to be

2606
01:19:18,858 --> 01:19:21,694
circulated and on your calendar

2607
01:19:21,694 --> 01:19:22,996
as well as to the public as well

2608
01:19:22,996 --> 01:19:25,996
as they're hearing it probably

2609
01:19:26,933 --> 01:19:29,335
here for the first time.

2610
01:19:29,335 --> 01:19:31,335
Hopeful hampton, making

2611
01:19:33,273 --> 01:19:35,273
measurable progress.

2612
01:19:35,876 --> 01:19:36,910
Again, hopeful hampton was

2613
01:19:36,910 --> 01:19:37,944
established to fundamentally

2614
01:19:37,944 --> 01:19:39,145
change the conditions that allow

2615
01:19:39,145 --> 01:19:41,145
violence to occur.

2616
01:19:41,481 --> 01:19:42,782
Through a public health

2617
01:19:42,782 --> 01:19:43,550
approach, cross-section of

2618
01:19:43,550 --> 01:19:44,651
partnerships, focused

2619
01:19:44,651 --> 01:19:45,752
intervention and meaningful

2620
01:19:45,752 --> 01:19:46,753
opportunities, we are

2621
01:19:46,753 --> 01:19:48,155
committed -- we committed

2622
01:19:48,155 --> 01:19:49,156
ourselves to creating safer

2623
01:19:49,156 --> 01:19:51,156
neighborhoods and better

2624
01:19:51,691 --> 01:19:53,193
outcomes for hampton residents.

2625
01:19:53,193 --> 01:19:53,860
Today the data tells a

2626
01:19:53,860 --> 01:19:55,495
compelling story.

2627
01:19:55,495 --> 01:19:56,697
While our work is far from

2628
01:19:56,697 --> 01:19:57,898
complete, the measurable

2629
01:19:57,898 --> 01:20:00,298
progress we are seeing

2630
01:20:00,300 --> 01:20:00,968
demonstrates that strategic

2631
01:20:00,968 --> 01:20:02,936
investments, community

2632
01:20:02,936 --> 01:20:04,936
partnerships and intentional

2633
01:20:05,105 --> 01:20:05,773
intervention are making a

2634
01:20:05,773 --> 01:20:07,773
difference.

2635
01:20:08,275 --> 01:20:10,275
Fiscal year 2026 gunshot

2636
01:20:11,979 --> 01:20:14,379
injuries among this population

2637
01:20:14,381 --> 01:20:16,383
of 25 and under decreased to 21,

2638
01:20:16,383 --> 01:20:18,783
compared with a five-year

2639
01:20:21,222 --> 01:20:23,222
average of 52.8%.

2640
01:20:24,392 --> 01:20:26,792
That represents a 60% decrease

2641
01:20:26,894 --> 01:20:28,529
in total gunshot injuries.

2642
01:20:28,529 --> 01:20:30,929
Fatal shootings decreased by

2643
01:20:31,265 --> 01:20:32,366
69%, from a five-year average of

2644
01:20:32,366 --> 01:20:33,868
13 to 4.

2645
01:20:33,868 --> 01:20:35,868
Non-fatal shootings decreased

2646
01:20:38,706 --> 01:20:41,209
by 58%, from a five-year average

2647
01:20:41,209 --> 01:20:43,209
of 39.8 to 17.

2648
01:20:43,745 --> 01:20:45,313
These statistics focus

2649
01:20:45,313 --> 01:20:46,981
specifically on individual's

2650
01:20:46,981 --> 01:20:49,981
aged 25 and under and reflect

2651
01:20:51,153 --> 01:20:51,686
data through JULY 30th of this

2652
01:20:51,686 --> 01:20:53,686
year.

2653
01:20:53,755 --> 01:20:54,756
The vulnerability lists outcomes

2654
01:20:54,756 --> 01:20:57,250
add another important dimension.

2655
01:20:57,250 --> 01:20:58,660
During fiscal year 26, 116

2656
01:20:58,660 --> 01:20:59,761
individuals were removed from

2657
01:20:59,761 --> 01:21:01,761
the list.

2658
01:21:02,897 --> 01:21:03,465
81 were removed for sustained

2659
01:21:03,465 --> 01:21:05,465
positive behavior.

2660
01:21:06,334 --> 01:21:06,668
27 were removed for following an

2661
01:21:06,668 --> 01:21:08,668
arrest.

2662
01:21:08,937 --> 01:21:10,572
5 were removed after relocating

2663
01:21:10,572 --> 01:21:12,972
and unfortunately 3 were removed

2664
01:21:13,108 --> 01:21:14,877
from being deceased.

2665
01:21:14,877 --> 01:21:16,812
The 27 arrests should not be

2666
01:21:16,812 --> 01:21:19,281
interpreted as 27 people who are

2667
01:21:19,281 --> 01:21:20,916
currently incarcerated.

2668
01:21:20,916 --> 01:21:22,250
Some MAY have subsequently been

2669
01:21:22,250 --> 01:21:23,652
released, similarly relocation

2670
01:21:23,652 --> 01:21:26,520
reflects the person's known

2671
01:21:26,388 --> 01:21:27,689
status when they are removed.

2672
01:21:27,689 --> 01:21:30,225
An individual could have later

2673
01:21:30,225 --> 01:21:31,760
returned to hampton without our

2674
01:21:31,760 --> 01:21:33,729
immediate knowledge as well.

2675
01:21:33,729 --> 01:21:34,290
Community perception matters as

2676
01:21:34,290 --> 01:21:35,764
well.

2677
01:21:35,764 --> 01:21:38,164
Youth violence prevention week

2678
01:21:39,168 --> 01:21:40,269
surveys results show that 80% of

2679
01:21:40,269 --> 01:21:42,238
respondents increased their

2680
01:21:42,238 --> 01:21:44,507
understanding of youth violence

2681
01:21:44,507 --> 01:21:46,476
prevention, while 64% reported

2682
01:21:46,476 --> 01:21:47,900
an improved perception of

2683
01:21:47,900 --> 01:21:49,900
neighborhood safety.

2684
01:21:49,111 --> 01:21:50,112
We are making progress while

2685
01:21:50,112 --> 01:21:52,512
recognizing that continued work

2686
01:21:52,949 --> 01:21:55,451
is needed to reach the 85%

2687
01:21:55,451 --> 01:21:57,753
safety projection goal overall.

2688
01:21:57,753 --> 01:22:00,153
The conclusion is clear:

2689
01:22:00,156 --> 01:22:02,156
hampton's investment across

2690
01:22:02,792 --> 01:22:04,193
prevention, intervention and

2691
01:22:04,193 --> 01:22:05,629
enforcement, opportunity,

2692
01:22:05,629 --> 01:22:07,629
stabilization and community

2693
01:22:10,333 --> 01:22:12,680
partnerships is working our

2694
01:22:12,680 --> 01:22:13,603
next level is deeper

2695
01:22:13,603 --> 01:22:15,603
coordination, improve data

2696
01:22:16,673 --> 01:22:17,407
tracking and evaluation, expand

2697
01:22:17,407 --> 01:22:19,807
trusted partnerships and sustain

2698
01:22:20,376 --> 01:22:20,944
the resources that make this

2699
01:22:20,944 --> 01:22:22,245
continuum possible.

2700
01:22:22,245 --> 01:22:24,214
Leveling up is not a single

2701
01:22:24,214 --> 01:22:26,249
program or a single year, it is

2702
01:22:26,249 --> 01:22:28,885
the city of hampton making a

2703
01:22:28,885 --> 01:22:31,285
long-term commitment to people,

2704
01:22:31,822 --> 01:22:33,240
investing early, responding

2705
01:22:33,240 --> 01:22:34,224
strategically, measuring

2706
01:22:34,224 --> 01:22:35,692
honestly and building a

2707
01:22:35,692 --> 01:22:38,920
community where every young

2708
01:22:38,629 --> 01:22:40,364
person and family has the

2709
01:22:40,364 --> 01:22:42,566
opportunity to -- say it with me

2710
01:22:42,566 --> 01:22:43,167
now -- heal, rebuild and thrive.

2711
01:22:43,167 --> 01:22:45,167
Thank you.

2712
01:22:46,204 --> 01:22:48,438
And I'll answer any questions

2713
01:22:48,438 --> 01:22:49,674
you MAY have.

2714
01:22:49,674 --> 01:22:51,674
>> COUNCILWOMAN Harper?

2715
01:22:52,676 --> 01:22:54,676
>> thank you, hugo.

2716
01:22:54,745 --> 01:22:57,548
The presentation was very good.

2717
01:22:57,548 --> 01:22:58,749
I really, really enjoyed it.

2718
01:22:58,749 --> 01:23:01,485
Y'all know the department is

2719
01:23:01,485 --> 01:23:02,520
very close to my heart,

2720
01:23:02,520 --> 01:23:03,988
personally.

2721
01:23:03,988 --> 01:23:04,688
But I had several things -- not

2722
01:23:04,688 --> 01:23:05,956
necessarily so many questions

2723
01:23:05,956 --> 01:23:06,224
but several things I wanted to

2724
01:23:06,224 --> 01:23:07,425
say.

2725
01:23:07,425 --> 01:23:09,425
Isms glad

2726
01:23:10,895 --> 01:23:12,630
I was glad to know that y'all

2727
01:23:12,630 --> 01:23:16,230
are doing things to assist with

2728
01:23:16,367 --> 01:23:19,367
the families, because I always

2729
01:23:19,403 --> 01:23:20,371
have said that when they come

2730
01:23:20,371 --> 01:23:23,971
outside and they're with you for

2731
01:23:24,800 --> 01:23:25,376
two or three hours, they go back

2732
01:23:25,376 --> 01:23:28,376
home, where they're there 95% of

2733
01:23:29,147 --> 01:23:30,682
the time, so those families, I'm

2734
01:23:30,682 --> 01:23:32,317
glad to see that helping

2735
01:23:32,317 --> 01:23:34,719
everyone inside of the home to

2736
01:23:34,719 --> 01:23:35,286
help them heal and thrive as

2737
01:23:35,286 --> 01:23:36,540
well.

2738
01:23:36,540 --> 01:23:38,540
And rebuild.

2739
01:23:38,556 --> 01:23:40,910
So thank you for that.

2740
01:23:40,910 --> 01:23:43,128
One of the things I wanted to

2741
01:23:43,128 --> 01:23:45,764
say, I wanted the public to note

2742
01:23:45,764 --> 01:23:47,650
that the violence interrupters

2743
01:23:47,650 --> 01:23:50,650
specifically, the ones that are

2744
01:23:51,336 --> 01:23:54,336
here along with adrian cook,

2745
01:23:54,673 --> 01:23:56,673
their job is 24/7.

2746
01:23:58,644 --> 01:24:00,946
It is not a job that they do 8

2747
01:24:00,946 --> 01:24:02,481
to 5, you know, 10 to 4.

2748
01:24:02,481 --> 01:24:04,481
It is 24/7.

2749
01:24:05,785 --> 01:24:07,186
They really get engrained into

2750
01:24:07,186 --> 01:24:08,954
those young people and into

2751
01:24:08,954 --> 01:24:10,689
their lives, their families,

2752
01:24:10,689 --> 01:24:11,924
their -- they get to know their

2753
01:24:11,924 --> 01:24:14,293
families, their families get to

2754
01:24:14,293 --> 01:24:16,293
know them.

2755
01:24:17,129 --> 01:24:18,130
And to the point of they are

2756
01:24:18,130 --> 01:24:19,865
there with them every step of

2757
01:24:19,865 --> 01:24:22,865
the way, going different places,

2758
01:24:23,269 --> 01:24:25,971
going to the home, you know,

2759
01:24:25,971 --> 01:24:27,740
helping with mentoring them, if

2760
01:24:27,740 --> 01:24:29,175
they need some further talking

2761
01:24:29,175 --> 01:24:31,544
to, they are there for that to

2762
01:24:31,544 --> 01:24:34,544
help the families with that.

2763
01:24:34,748 --> 01:24:37,250
So I just want to applaud them

2764
01:24:37,250 --> 01:24:40,860
for a second to personally say

2765
01:24:40,860 --> 01:24:42,522
thank y'all for what you do,

2766
01:24:42,522 --> 01:24:45,580
because being a mentor, it is a

2767
01:24:45,580 --> 01:24:46,292
dedicated and committed effort.

2768
01:24:46,292 --> 01:24:48,328
And so thank y'all so very much

2769
01:24:48,328 --> 01:24:51,928
for the time that you've given

2770
01:24:52,932 --> 01:24:53,800
to the hampton youth and by the

2771
01:24:53,800 --> 01:24:55,135
measurable progress, what you're

2772
01:24:55,135 --> 01:24:57,135
doing is working.

2773
01:24:57,604 --> 01:24:59,372
So thank y'all so very much and

2774
01:24:59,372 --> 01:25:02,242
I know you all have outside

2775
01:25:02,242 --> 01:25:04,242
organizations and non-profits

2776
01:25:05,312 --> 01:25:06,379
that yourselves have, so in

2777
01:25:06,379 --> 01:25:08,248
addition to doing that and

2778
01:25:08,248 --> 01:25:11,248
assisting with our youth, thank

2779
01:25:11,752 --> 01:25:12,520
you so very much for that as

2780
01:25:12,520 --> 01:25:14,520
well.

2781
01:25:16,323 --> 01:25:16,590
And I think that's all that I

2782
01:25:16,590 --> 01:25:18,192
had.

2783
01:25:18,192 --> 01:25:21,261
I think you did talk -- one

2784
01:25:21,261 --> 01:25:22,330
other thing, hugo, about the

2785
01:25:22,330 --> 01:25:23,230
expansion of the summer youth

2786
01:25:23,230 --> 01:25:25,630
employment program, that we're

2787
01:25:26,500 --> 01:25:26,900
still doing that this year?

2788
01:25:26,900 --> 01:25:28,900
>> yes.

2789
01:25:29,436 --> 01:25:31,338
We will still maintain for young

2790
01:25:31,338 --> 01:25:32,372
people moving into a year round

2791
01:25:32,372 --> 01:25:34,772
employment experience, and many

2792
01:25:35,430 --> 01:25:36,443
of them are submitting their

2793
01:25:36,443 --> 01:25:38,843
applications today, because the

2794
01:25:39,947 --> 01:25:41,882
program -- the summer youth

2795
01:25:41,882 --> 01:25:43,751
employment program will end on

2796
01:25:43,751 --> 01:25:44,919
AUGUST 24th but some of them

2797
01:25:44,919 --> 01:25:45,820
will be able to continue on as

2798
01:25:45,820 --> 01:25:47,488
long as they have met the

2799
01:25:47,488 --> 01:25:48,756
criteria and have had a good

2800
01:25:48,756 --> 01:25:50,992
evaluation from their current

2801
01:25:50,992 --> 01:25:51,492
position.

2802
01:25:51,492 --> 01:25:51,993
>> wonderful.

2803
01:25:51,993 --> 01:25:53,395
Thank you so much.

2804
01:25:53,395 --> 01:25:54,829
>> vice mayor brown?

2805
01:25:54,829 --> 01:25:56,931
>> yeah, thank you, hugo, and

2806
01:25:56,931 --> 01:25:58,900
also to your staff.

2807
01:25:58,900 --> 01:26:02,500
Like again, this is a team

2808
01:26:02,837 --> 01:26:04,720
effort so I'm very impressed,

2809
01:26:04,720 --> 01:26:06,575
and I don't know if nobody told

2810
01:26:06,575 --> 01:26:07,875
you, I like numbers and youth

2811
01:26:07,875 --> 01:26:09,745
numbers -- I'm getting really

2812
01:26:09,745 --> 01:26:10,945
excited about these.

2813
01:26:10,945 --> 01:26:13,748
The only comment I had -- or

2814
01:26:13,748 --> 01:26:16,510
question I had is when you go

2815
01:26:16,510 --> 01:26:19,200
back to your hopeful hampton

2816
01:26:19,200 --> 01:26:20,855
divergent program, I think you

2817
01:26:20,855 --> 01:26:23,258
posted the '25 and '26 numbers

2818
01:26:23,258 --> 01:26:26,661
of who was involved in the youth

2819
01:26:26,661 --> 01:26:29,397
divergent program, and I guess

2820
01:26:29,397 --> 01:26:32,997
my question is 13 of them were

2821
01:26:33,969 --> 01:26:34,836
served and went the 24 weeks of

2822
01:26:34,836 --> 01:26:36,836
total program.

2823
01:26:39,975 --> 01:26:41,760
How many did we lose?

2824
01:26:41,760 --> 01:26:43,476
Did we lose any?

2825
01:26:43,812 --> 01:26:45,948
>> just one this fiscal year.

2826
01:26:45,948 --> 01:26:47,416
>> just one?

2827
01:26:47,416 --> 01:26:47,983
>> yes.

2828
01:26:47,983 --> 01:26:49,983
>> okay.

2829
01:26:50,520 --> 01:26:52,355
Also, for your case management,

2830
01:26:52,355 --> 01:26:54,657
one of the things that I have

2831
01:26:54,657 --> 01:26:56,725
been impressed with, I said this

2832
01:26:56,725 --> 01:26:58,594
many, many times about how we

2833
01:26:58,594 --> 01:27:01,564
track young people who are in

2834
01:27:01,564 --> 01:27:01,897
these programs or in this

2835
01:27:01,897 --> 01:27:03,432
office.

2836
01:27:03,432 --> 01:27:04,100
How do we know how they're

2837
01:27:04,100 --> 01:27:06,500
doing, what success rates

2838
01:27:06,803 --> 01:27:09,803
they're having, what notes are

2839
01:27:10,139 --> 01:27:11,874
captured to do case management?

2840
01:27:11,874 --> 01:27:14,100
Do you use an electronic system?

2841
01:27:14,100 --> 01:27:14,777
How do you use case management?

2842
01:27:14,777 --> 01:27:17,800
>> we use [Indiscernible] Not

2843
01:27:17,800 --> 01:27:19,282
represented on this data but I

2844
01:27:19,282 --> 01:27:19,916
did want to highlight the

2845
01:27:19,916 --> 01:27:21,840
hopeful hampton divergent

2846
01:27:21,840 --> 01:27:22,752
program on this dashboard, as

2847
01:27:22,752 --> 01:27:23,953
you can see.

2848
01:27:23,953 --> 01:27:25,288
That spans over the total

2849
01:27:25,288 --> 01:27:26,389
conception of the program, since

2850
01:27:26,389 --> 01:27:28,525
we've been doing it.

2851
01:27:28,525 --> 01:27:29,192
We had about 40 applicants, 35

2852
01:27:29,192 --> 01:27:31,192
successful outcomes.

2853
01:27:31,361 --> 01:27:33,290
13 of them are working currently

2854
01:27:33,290 --> 01:27:34,364
and 14 of them have graduated

2855
01:27:34,364 --> 01:27:36,764
from high school graduations

2856
01:27:36,834 --> 01:27:37,167
since being involved with the

2857
01:27:37,167 --> 01:27:38,680
program.

2858
01:27:38,680 --> 01:27:39,569
So they're going to highlight

2859
01:27:39,569 --> 01:27:42,873
that on the dashboard as well.

2860
01:27:42,873 --> 01:27:44,308
But in tracking our -- we use a

2861
01:27:44,308 --> 01:27:45,609
is system called casebook which

2862
01:27:45,609 --> 01:27:47,677
is an electronic software where

2863
01:27:47,677 --> 01:27:48,846
we capture all of our notes

2864
01:27:48,846 --> 01:27:50,846
inside of there.

2865
01:27:55,219 --> 01:27:55,987
Of course we build out

2866
01:27:55,987 --> 01:27:58,189
individualized plans so they're

2867
01:27:58,189 --> 01:27:59,923
made a referral to the office.

2868
01:27:59,923 --> 01:28:02,323
Families can refer themselves.

2869
01:28:02,660 --> 01:28:04,228
We get referrals from our

2870
01:28:04,228 --> 01:28:06,228
hopeful hampton steering

2871
01:28:07,632 --> 01:28:10,320
committee, from port services

2872
01:28:10,535 --> 01:28:12,303
unit, schools, any counselor or

2873
01:28:12,303 --> 01:28:14,272
anyone who comes in contact with

2874
01:28:14,272 --> 01:28:16,340
a youth, our violence

2875
01:28:16,340 --> 01:28:17,675
interrupters are now referring

2876
01:28:17,675 --> 01:28:18,442
students to that process as well

2877
01:28:18,442 --> 01:28:19,410
through our opportunity connects

2878
01:28:19,410 --> 01:28:21,279
because they MAY be out in the

2879
01:28:21,279 --> 01:28:23,679
community working with someone

2880
01:28:24,150 --> 01:28:25,116
and find another participant

2881
01:28:25,116 --> 01:28:26,317
that MAY need additional layers

2882
01:28:26,317 --> 01:28:28,717
of support as well.

2883
01:28:30,488 --> 01:28:32,256
So from there it turns into a

2884
01:28:32,256 --> 01:28:33,991
meeting, an intake meeting and

2885
01:28:33,991 --> 01:28:36,728
so from the intake meeting it's

2886
01:28:36,728 --> 01:28:39,364
when your case notes will begin

2887
01:28:39,364 --> 01:28:40,798
and your tracking system and

2888
01:28:40,798 --> 01:28:42,100
case book system so yes, we

2889
01:28:42,100 --> 01:28:44,936
maintain the case book system

2890
01:28:44,936 --> 01:28:46,571
with notes and making sure that

2891
01:28:46,571 --> 01:28:50,171
the clinical -- or not clinical

2892
01:28:51,609 --> 01:28:52,677
team but our engagement team are

2893
01:28:52,677 --> 01:28:55,770
documenting all of their

2894
01:29:01,860 --> 01:29:03,255
interactions with young people.

2895
01:29:03,255 --> 01:29:05,357
>> we capture them while they're

2896
01:29:05,357 --> 01:29:08,957
in the program in case book.

2897
01:29:10,396 --> 01:29:11,864
What about post?

2898
01:29:11,864 --> 01:29:14,333
>> we're keeping track of where

2899
01:29:14,333 --> 01:29:16,869
they are so they will have a 30,

2900
01:29:16,869 --> 01:29:18,204
60 and 90-day review and 100

2901
01:29:18,204 --> 01:29:21,240
days out review and they will

2902
01:29:21,240 --> 01:29:24,209
move from intensive or active

2903
01:29:24,209 --> 01:29:25,778
referral to active monitoring.

2904
01:29:25,778 --> 01:29:27,613
So during that we're monitoring

2905
01:29:27,613 --> 01:29:29,248
them based on reports that they

2906
01:29:29,248 --> 01:29:30,549
are self-reporting as well as

2907
01:29:30,549 --> 01:29:32,785
any follow-up with schools or

2908
01:29:32,785 --> 01:29:34,420
agencies that refer them.

2909
01:29:34,420 --> 01:29:36,722
>> now, I know that going back

2910
01:29:36,722 --> 01:29:39,722
to your resource -- enabled

2911
01:29:40,559 --> 01:29:41,828
resource centers, I know that

2912
01:29:41,828 --> 01:29:42,795
congressman scott gave us 4

2913
01:29:42,795 --> 01:29:45,364
point something million I think

2914
01:29:45,364 --> 01:29:46,132
it was to do a neighborhood

2915
01:29:46,132 --> 01:29:46,532
resource center.

2916
01:29:46,532 --> 01:29:48,134
>> yes,.

2917
01:29:48,134 --> 01:29:50,203
>> the first one is going to

2918
01:29:50,203 --> 01:29:50,603
open on you said AUGUST 26th?

2919
01:29:50,603 --> 01:29:52,603
>> yes.

2920
01:29:52,939 --> 01:29:56,539
>> so when you look at going

2921
01:29:56,676 --> 01:29:59,379
into a community, is there a

2922
01:29:59,379 --> 01:30:00,813
need assessment done, when you

2923
01:30:00,813 --> 01:30:02,115
place these centers in a

2924
01:30:02,115 --> 01:30:05,115
particular community to see what

2925
01:30:06,286 --> 01:30:09,155
the needs are, which determines

2926
01:30:09,155 --> 01:30:10,560
how busy or how well used that

2927
01:30:10,560 --> 01:30:11,791
center is going to be?

2928
01:30:11,791 --> 01:30:14,191
Do you do that?

2929
01:30:14,194 --> 01:30:15,662
>> yes, we will do that at the

2930
01:30:15,662 --> 01:30:17,931
opening by surveying community

2931
01:30:17,931 --> 01:30:18,431
members and those that come to

2932
01:30:18,431 --> 01:30:19,900
the center.

2933
01:30:19,900 --> 01:30:22,690
They are being placed --

2934
01:30:22,690 --> 01:30:24,469
currently the placement was

2935
01:30:24,571 --> 01:30:26,440
determined by calls for service

2936
01:30:26,440 --> 01:30:28,109
in our traffic zones where we've

2937
01:30:28,109 --> 01:30:30,177
noticed an elevated call of

2938
01:30:30,177 --> 01:30:32,679
services and needs in that area.

2939
01:30:32,679 --> 01:30:34,982
So while we are having to --

2940
01:30:34,982 --> 01:30:36,417
we're negotiating space and

2941
01:30:36,417 --> 01:30:37,518
scouring spaces, we're scouring

2942
01:30:37,518 --> 01:30:39,387
them in specific neighborhoods

2943
01:30:39,387 --> 01:30:39,720
that have elevated calls for

2944
01:30:39,720 --> 01:30:41,720
service.

2945
01:30:43,757 --> 01:30:45,827
But yes, we will do some

2946
01:30:45,827 --> 01:30:46,927
individualized planning and

2947
01:30:46,927 --> 01:30:48,596
needs assessments with community

2948
01:30:48,596 --> 01:30:48,930
members as we open up the

2949
01:30:48,930 --> 01:30:50,664
models.

2950
01:30:50,664 --> 01:30:52,767
So some of them will look --

2951
01:30:52,767 --> 01:30:53,734
most of them will look identical

2952
01:30:53,734 --> 01:30:56,270
but they will have specific

2953
01:30:56,270 --> 01:30:57,400
needs that have arisen from

2954
01:30:57,400 --> 01:30:58,406
community voices.

2955
01:30:58,406 --> 01:31:00,541
>> so the services could be

2956
01:31:00,541 --> 01:31:01,800
different in a neighborhood

2957
01:31:01,800 --> 01:31:02,176
[Indiscernible]

2958
01:31:02,176 --> 01:31:03,945
>> it's a possibility, yes,

2959
01:31:03,945 --> 01:31:04,212
that's what we anticipate, yes,

2960
01:31:04,212 --> 01:31:06,212
sir.

2961
01:31:07,315 --> 01:31:08,416
>> and my last question is there

2962
01:31:08,416 --> 01:31:10,117
are other centers that we are

2963
01:31:10,117 --> 01:31:12,153
going to stand up.

2964
01:31:12,153 --> 01:31:13,454
Have you identified other sites

2965
01:31:13,454 --> 01:31:15,900
already or in the process you're

2966
01:31:15,900 --> 01:31:16,658
looking at other places for

2967
01:31:16,658 --> 01:31:18,658
these centers?

2968
01:31:19,327 --> 01:31:20,428
>> we are in some negotiations

2969
01:31:20,428 --> 01:31:22,196
right now with scouting some

2970
01:31:22,196 --> 01:31:23,197
sites, so yes, we have one

2971
01:31:23,197 --> 01:31:24,499
that's on the table that's going

2972
01:31:24,499 --> 01:31:25,500
to follow this one immediately

2973
01:31:25,500 --> 01:31:26,935
and then we have another one

2974
01:31:26,935 --> 01:31:29,370
that we'll be reviewing,

2975
01:31:29,370 --> 01:31:30,605
hopefully right after this.

2976
01:31:30,605 --> 01:31:32,475
>> all right, thank you.

2977
01:31:32,475 --> 01:31:33,575
Good job.

2978
01:31:33,575 --> 01:31:35,343
>> thank you.

2979
01:31:35,343 --> 01:31:36,878
>> COUNCILWOMAN Ferebee?

2980
01:31:36,878 --> 01:31:39,278
>> thank you, MR. Mayor.

2981
01:31:39,815 --> 01:31:43,415
MR. Morrison, I just want to

2982
01:31:43,652 --> 01:31:46,154
applaud you for your leadership,

2983
01:31:46,154 --> 01:31:46,588
engaging community through

2984
01:31:46,588 --> 01:31:48,588
impact.

2985
01:31:48,790 --> 01:31:50,992
This program -- this group of

2986
01:31:50,992 --> 01:31:53,392
programs under this office

2987
01:31:53,829 --> 01:31:54,596
are -- it's not a nicety, it's a

2988
01:31:54,596 --> 01:31:56,365
necessity because our children

2989
01:31:56,365 --> 01:31:57,866
are our present and our future,

2990
01:31:57,866 --> 01:31:59,735
and in order for our city to

2991
01:31:59,735 --> 01:32:03,380
continue to thrive, we have to

2992
01:32:03,380 --> 01:32:05,341
be prepared to support our

2993
01:32:05,341 --> 01:32:06,475
communities and more importantly

2994
01:32:06,475 --> 01:32:09,110
our -- the people that are going

2995
01:32:09,110 --> 01:32:11,800
to take over our jobs and our

2996
01:32:11,800 --> 01:32:14,483
positions, and we want to make

2997
01:32:14,483 --> 01:32:15,918
sure that hampton is a place of

2998
01:32:15,918 --> 01:32:19,322
choice for our youth to want to

2999
01:32:19,322 --> 01:32:19,622
come back, to live, play and

3000
01:32:19,622 --> 01:32:21,622
work.

3001
01:32:22,825 --> 01:32:24,794
I can't say enough about the

3002
01:32:24,794 --> 01:32:26,295
emphasis that you have on, you

3003
01:32:26,295 --> 01:32:28,331
know, capturing all the talents

3004
01:32:28,331 --> 01:32:30,299
of all of our students and the

3005
01:32:30,299 --> 01:32:31,701
violence interrupters and your

3006
01:32:31,701 --> 01:32:32,101
staff, y'all are just

3007
01:32:32,101 --> 01:32:33,136
phenomenal.

3008
01:32:33,136 --> 01:32:36,736
Anything that I can do to

3009
01:32:38,308 --> 01:32:40,708
support you, I'm here.

3010
01:32:40,710 --> 01:32:44,310
And I do really appreciate the

3011
01:32:44,314 --> 01:32:47,314
depth of information that you've

3012
01:32:48,585 --> 01:32:50,888
provided to us and this impact

3013
01:32:50,888 --> 01:32:52,423
report, also that dovetails the

3014
01:32:52,423 --> 01:32:54,491
report that we received last

3015
01:32:54,491 --> 01:32:55,926
month from our police chief.

3016
01:32:55,926 --> 01:32:59,496
This partnership that we have in

3017
01:32:59,496 --> 01:33:00,831
the city is like no other, and I

3018
01:33:00,831 --> 01:33:02,699
just can't say enough positive

3019
01:33:02,699 --> 01:33:03,800
things about the work that's

3020
01:33:03,800 --> 01:33:04,168
happening in this area within

3021
01:33:04,168 --> 01:33:06,168
our city.

3022
01:33:06,737 --> 01:33:09,373
And I want to thank our city

3023
01:33:09,373 --> 01:33:11,208
manager and our mayor and

3024
01:33:11,208 --> 01:33:11,508
council for your support as

3025
01:33:11,508 --> 01:33:13,508
well.

3026
01:33:14,778 --> 01:33:15,912
Thank you.

3027
01:33:15,912 --> 01:33:17,140
>> thank you.

3028
01:33:17,140 --> 01:33:20,614
>> john could you go back to

3029
01:33:20,618 --> 01:33:24,218
your slide where you showed the

3030
01:33:24,822 --> 01:33:25,422
reduction in shootings in the --

3031
01:33:25,422 --> 01:33:26,624
>> yes, sir.

3032
01:33:26,624 --> 01:33:28,624
>> -- age groups?

3033
01:33:32,997 --> 01:33:33,431
Because I didn't see that one.

3034
01:33:33,431 --> 01:33:35,431
Okay.

3035
01:33:36,400 --> 01:33:40,600
So looking at the trend from '21

3036
01:33:41,205 --> 01:33:43,842
down to -- well, fy21 down to

3037
01:33:43,842 --> 01:33:46,842
fy26, is a significant decline.

3038
01:33:46,878 --> 01:33:47,145
And you indicate the average is

3039
01:33:47,145 --> 01:33:49,145
60%.

3040
01:33:49,280 --> 01:33:50,915
I was looking around and I see a

3041
01:33:50,915 --> 01:33:52,150
city hall reporter has left us

3042
01:33:52,150 --> 01:33:54,180
and I don't know if he caught

3043
01:33:54,180 --> 01:33:54,886
this particular slide, because

3044
01:33:54,886 --> 01:33:57,286
those other communities have

3045
01:33:58,189 --> 01:33:59,991
been talking about significant

3046
01:33:59,991 --> 01:34:02,391
drops in violent crime.

3047
01:34:02,427 --> 01:34:04,295
I think this is important to see

3048
01:34:04,295 --> 01:34:06,164
what the work in hampton is

3049
01:34:06,164 --> 01:34:09,134
accomplishing, the work you all

3050
01:34:09,134 --> 01:34:11,970
are doing with reducing violent

3051
01:34:11,970 --> 01:34:14,172
crime amongst this age group.

3052
01:34:14,172 --> 01:34:17,576
And you know, obviously we got

3053
01:34:17,576 --> 01:34:18,543
work to do in other age groups

3054
01:34:18,543 --> 01:34:19,544
that you might go not be

3055
01:34:19,544 --> 01:34:21,313
touching but this is where we

3056
01:34:21,313 --> 01:34:22,481
were focusing on attention based

3057
01:34:22,481 --> 01:34:25,718
on hopeful hampton and based on

3058
01:34:25,718 --> 01:34:29,918
the work that I think our team

3059
01:34:30,989 --> 01:34:32,989
started with

3060
01:34:35,628 --> 01:34:37,629
started an is now continuing and

3061
01:34:37,629 --> 01:34:40,629
we're creating a safer community

3062
01:34:40,933 --> 01:34:42,601
with significant reduction

3063
01:34:42,601 --> 01:34:44,270
in crime.

3064
01:34:44,270 --> 01:34:46,500
So again I want to thank all of

3065
01:34:46,500 --> 01:34:46,939
you and your team and our

3066
01:34:46,939 --> 01:34:48,607
violence interrupters.

3067
01:34:48,607 --> 01:34:51,844
I've heard some of the stories

3068
01:34:51,844 --> 01:34:52,845
of the some of the work that

3069
01:34:52,845 --> 01:34:54,380
you're doing with young people,

3070
01:34:54,380 --> 01:34:56,548
it's just amazing work, and this

3071
01:34:56,548 --> 01:34:58,718
is getting the results.

3072
01:34:58,718 --> 01:35:01,254
So we need to hold hampton up as

3073
01:35:01,254 --> 01:35:02,421
an example of what can be done

3074
01:35:02,421 --> 01:35:03,456
when you invest in the right

3075
01:35:03,456 --> 01:35:04,991
people and the right resources

3076
01:35:04,991 --> 01:35:06,959
and give them the tools they

3077
01:35:06,959 --> 01:35:08,261
need to go out and do the work,

3078
01:35:08,261 --> 01:35:08,594
that we can get these kind of

3079
01:35:08,594 --> 01:35:10,594
results.

3080
01:35:11,264 --> 01:35:14,834
So thank you so much for that.

3081
01:35:14,834 --> 01:35:16,834
>> thank you, mayor.

3082
01:35:17,871 --> 01:35:19,739
>> city manager, next slide I

3083
01:35:19,739 --> 01:35:20,390
think is a continuation of this

3084
01:35:20,390 --> 01:35:21,410
one --

3085
01:35:21,410 --> 01:35:22,475
>> it is a continuation, and

3086
01:35:22,475 --> 01:35:25,178
hugo is going to continue, but i

3087
01:35:25,178 --> 01:35:26,213
would like to sort of segue and

3088
01:35:26,213 --> 01:35:28,582
say you've seen what we've been

3089
01:35:28,582 --> 01:35:30,784
able to do with the city funds

3090
01:35:30,784 --> 01:35:32,319
that you've allocated and with

3091
01:35:32,319 --> 01:35:35,919
some of the arpa dollars that

3092
01:35:36,523 --> 01:35:38,158
went to this over some of that

3093
01:35:38,158 --> 01:35:39,159
year period of time, there were

3094
01:35:39,159 --> 01:35:41,462
arpa funds involved as well.

3095
01:35:41,462 --> 01:35:44,640
We are very pleased and grateful

3096
01:35:44,640 --> 01:35:45,320
to the general assembly most

3097
01:35:45,320 --> 01:35:46,934
especially senator loch,

3098
01:35:46,934 --> 01:35:48,435
delegate thorton and delegate

3099
01:35:48,435 --> 01:35:51,435
ward for getting hampton added

3100
01:35:51,939 --> 01:35:52,373
to the safer communities

3101
01:35:52,373 --> 01:35:54,373
program.

3102
01:35:55,542 --> 01:35:56,944
The safer communities program is

3103
01:35:56,944 --> 01:35:58,412
a program of prevention and

3104
01:35:58,412 --> 01:35:59,180
intervention that has existed

3105
01:35:59,180 --> 01:36:00,448
for a period of time.

3106
01:36:00,448 --> 01:36:03,448
We were not originally included

3107
01:36:04,385 --> 01:36:06,119
in it, nor was newport news and

3108
01:36:06,119 --> 01:36:08,756
some other localities that were

3109
01:36:08,756 --> 01:36:09,857
added this year, norfolk,

3110
01:36:09,857 --> 01:36:10,958
portsmouth are two that are in

3111
01:36:10,958 --> 01:36:13,261
our region that were on the

3112
01:36:13,261 --> 01:36:14,495
program before.

3113
01:36:14,495 --> 01:36:15,897
And senator loch for several

3114
01:36:15,897 --> 01:36:17,331
years has carried the water to

3115
01:36:17,331 --> 01:36:19,331
get us added.

3116
01:36:20,670 --> 01:36:21,569
And of course delegate thorton

3117
01:36:21,569 --> 01:36:22,336
and delegate ward have supported

3118
01:36:22,336 --> 01:36:24,736
her in that effort.

3119
01:36:25,600 --> 01:36:25,773
This year, we were able to to be

3120
01:36:25,773 --> 01:36:29,973
added, and as a result of that

3121
01:36:32,790 --> 01:36:33,181
we will be getting $3.1 million of

3122
01:36:33,181 --> 01:36:34,949
extra money this clear towards

3123
01:36:34,949 --> 01:36:37,349
these kinds of initiatives.

3124
01:36:39,540 --> 01:36:42,654
We believe this will be largely

3125
01:36:43,124 --> 01:36:44,559
annual, recurring money, unless

3126
01:36:44,559 --> 01:36:45,661
the general simply decides to

3127
01:36:45,661 --> 01:36:47,950
stop the program all together.

3128
01:36:47,950 --> 01:36:49,598
I say largely because we were

3129
01:36:49,598 --> 01:36:51,233
total our allocation would be

3130
01:36:51,233 --> 01:36:52,868
2.5 and we were pleasantly

3131
01:36:52,868 --> 01:36:53,869
surprised when the office

3132
01:36:53,869 --> 01:36:55,869
communicated 3.1.

3133
01:36:57,572 --> 01:36:59,341
We're not clear if the 3.1 is

3134
01:36:59,341 --> 01:37:00,642
recurring but it will take it

3135
01:37:00,642 --> 01:37:01,610
and do good things with it.

3136
01:37:01,610 --> 01:37:04,460
Now that we have gotten

3137
01:37:04,460 --> 01:37:05,113
direction from the state agency

3138
01:37:05,113 --> 01:37:06,348
that oversees this about how the

3139
01:37:06,348 --> 01:37:07,349
funds can be used and the

3140
01:37:07,349 --> 01:37:09,840
process for pulling them down,

3141
01:37:09,840 --> 01:37:13,210
we wanted to bring to you all

3142
01:37:13,210 --> 01:37:15,230
our proposal for doing that.

3143
01:37:15,230 --> 01:37:15,457
The item says briefing and

3144
01:37:15,457 --> 01:37:16,125
appropriation.

3145
01:37:16,125 --> 01:37:17,192
There is no appropriation at

3146
01:37:17,192 --> 01:37:18,427
this point.

3147
01:37:18,427 --> 01:37:20,429
There is just a briefing.

3148
01:37:20,429 --> 01:37:21,497
What will happen, assuming you

3149
01:37:21,497 --> 01:37:22,698
agree with us on our proposed

3150
01:37:22,698 --> 01:37:26,102
use of the funds, is that we

3151
01:37:26,102 --> 01:37:27,537
will submit this to the state.

3152
01:37:27,537 --> 01:37:28,938
We've had verbal conversations.

3153
01:37:28,938 --> 01:37:30,607
We expect it to be approved but

3154
01:37:30,607 --> 01:37:32,141
there's a formal mechanism for

3155
01:37:32,141 --> 01:37:33,242
submitting it formally after you

3156
01:37:33,242 --> 01:37:34,543
have received it.

3157
01:37:34,543 --> 01:37:36,312
And so we will make that

3158
01:37:36,312 --> 01:37:38,470
submission and then hopefully in

3159
01:37:38,470 --> 01:37:39,148
a few weeks' time be able to

3160
01:37:39,148 --> 01:37:40,449
announce that the money is in

3161
01:37:40,449 --> 01:37:42,752
hand and we can start to do the

3162
01:37:42,752 --> 01:37:43,219
things that hugo is about to

3163
01:37:43,219 --> 01:37:44,654
present to you.

3164
01:37:44,654 --> 01:37:46,522
And putting this proposal

3165
01:37:46,522 --> 01:37:48,358
together, we relied, a, on the

3166
01:37:48,358 --> 01:37:51,260
data that you've seen, what has

3167
01:37:51,260 --> 01:37:53,196
been working, what we know to

3168
01:37:53,196 --> 01:37:54,864
work, not only based upon our

3169
01:37:54,864 --> 01:37:55,231
experience but on national

3170
01:37:55,231 --> 01:37:57,330
research.

3171
01:37:57,330 --> 01:37:58,701
We wanted to expand programs

3172
01:37:58,701 --> 01:38:00,236
you'll see and talk about

3173
01:38:00,236 --> 01:38:01,438
expanding things like our youth

3174
01:38:01,438 --> 01:38:03,720
violence interruption programs

3175
01:38:03,720 --> 01:38:03,940
or community grassroots

3176
01:38:03,940 --> 01:38:04,808
programs, our workforce

3177
01:38:04,808 --> 01:38:05,810
development programs and those

3178
01:38:05,810 --> 01:38:07,677
kinds of things.

3179
01:38:07,677 --> 01:38:09,112
But we also wanted to use some

3180
01:38:09,112 --> 01:38:10,847
funds to do some things we

3181
01:38:10,847 --> 01:38:12,716
haven't been able to do, like

3182
01:38:12,716 --> 01:38:14,151
add some pro-social activity

3183
01:38:14,151 --> 01:38:16,353
that we hear from young people

3184
01:38:16,353 --> 01:38:19,900
that they would like to see that

3185
01:38:19,900 --> 01:38:21,825
keeps them positively engaged in

3186
01:38:21,825 --> 01:38:23,360
activities as opposed to doing

3187
01:38:23,360 --> 01:38:23,760
potentially disruptive kinds of

3188
01:38:23,760 --> 01:38:25,195
behaviours.

3189
01:38:25,195 --> 01:38:27,397
So you're going to see a mix of

3190
01:38:27,397 --> 01:38:28,932
things here that represent a

3191
01:38:28,932 --> 01:38:30,767
range of opportunities for us,

3192
01:38:30,767 --> 01:38:32,200
some of them are one-time funds

3193
01:38:32,200 --> 01:38:34,538
and that would allow us to

3194
01:38:34,538 --> 01:38:35,720
buffer if we really only get 2.5

3195
01:38:35,720 --> 01:38:36,640
next clear.

3196
01:38:36,640 --> 01:38:38,275
It will also help us to pick up

3197
01:38:38,275 --> 01:38:39,476
the resource centers when

3198
01:38:39,476 --> 01:38:41,876
congressman scott's grant does

3199
01:38:42,446 --> 01:38:43,981
run out, if those resource

3200
01:38:43,981 --> 01:38:44,915
centers are as successful as we

3201
01:38:44,915 --> 01:38:45,883
expect them to be.

3202
01:38:45,883 --> 01:38:48,883
So we've put together a

3203
01:38:48,954 --> 01:38:50,721
portfolio of a mix of recurring

3204
01:38:50,721 --> 01:38:52,723
and one-time funds for you today

3205
01:38:52,723 --> 01:38:55,260
and I'm pleased to turn it back

3206
01:38:55,260 --> 01:38:56,794
to hugo to share what our staff

3207
01:38:56,794 --> 01:38:57,395
proposal is for how to best use

3208
01:38:57,395 --> 01:38:59,363
these funds.

3209
01:38:59,363 --> 01:39:01,332
>> I will skip some of the

3210
01:39:01,332 --> 01:39:03,200
preliminary, because our city

3211
01:39:03,200 --> 01:39:03,568
manager has gave us a great

3212
01:39:03,568 --> 01:39:05,568
overview.

3213
01:39:07,472 --> 01:39:10,809
As we've heard already, we have

3214
01:39:10,809 --> 01:39:12,443
been aligned with 3.12 million,

3215
01:39:12,443 --> 01:39:14,843
around five eligible pillars.

3216
01:39:14,847 --> 01:39:15,947
So I do want to highlight the

3217
01:39:15,947 --> 01:39:18,283
state's pillars around after

3218
01:39:18,283 --> 01:39:19,818
school programs and mentor

3219
01:39:19,818 --> 01:39:21,986
ships, education and economic

3220
01:39:21,986 --> 01:39:23,986
opportunity, trauma informed

3221
01:39:24,422 --> 01:39:25,290
mental health care, credible

3222
01:39:25,290 --> 01:39:27,580
messengers, violence

3223
01:39:27,580 --> 01:39:28,360
interrupters and then trust

3224
01:39:28,360 --> 01:39:29,594
between law enforcement and

3225
01:39:29,594 --> 01:39:31,994
community stakeholders and while

3226
01:39:34,733 --> 01:39:35,567
we have received the

3227
01:39:35,567 --> 01:39:37,169
appropriation in the

3228
01:39:37,169 --> 01:39:40,169
commonwealth's budget we do have

3229
01:39:40,973 --> 01:39:42,374
to submit an application, by

3230
01:39:42,374 --> 01:39:44,576
AUGUST 31st as you see is the

3231
01:39:44,576 --> 01:39:46,478
application deadline, so we're

3232
01:39:46,478 --> 01:39:48,781
working in compressed time line,

3233
01:39:48,781 --> 01:39:51,417
so today what we're asking for

3234
01:39:51,417 --> 01:39:53,419
is probably some feedback from

3235
01:39:53,419 --> 01:39:56,455
our council on the proposal that

3236
01:39:56,455 --> 01:39:57,890
we will review in just one

3237
01:39:57,890 --> 01:39:59,625
moment to determine direction,

3238
01:39:59,625 --> 01:40:01,393
if you agree with staffing

3239
01:40:01,393 --> 01:40:03,629
direction and just overall

3240
01:40:03,629 --> 01:40:04,964
proposal, then we will move to

3241
01:40:04,964 --> 01:40:07,364
the completion of our

3242
01:40:08,340 --> 01:40:09,802
application and finalizing the

3243
01:40:09,802 --> 01:40:10,202
scope of eligible programs and

3244
01:40:10,202 --> 01:40:12,202
activities.

3245
01:40:13,406 --> 01:40:16,242
What you'll see next is that we

3246
01:40:16,242 --> 01:40:18,778
have coordinated these -- this

3247
01:40:18,778 --> 01:40:20,778
investment around 6 investment

3248
01:40:21,280 --> 01:40:24,280
areas that directly align with

3249
01:40:24,817 --> 01:40:25,919
the 5 pillars of the state's

3250
01:40:25,919 --> 01:40:27,200
eligibility criteria, but

3251
01:40:27,200 --> 01:40:29,420
hampton has 6 investments that

3252
01:40:29,722 --> 01:40:30,757
we would like to lift up before

3253
01:40:30,757 --> 01:40:32,757
you today.

3254
01:40:32,959 --> 01:40:34,929
So the first one being

3255
01:40:34,929 --> 01:40:35,929
prevention and youth

3256
01:40:35,929 --> 01:40:37,131
opportunities, which will be

3257
01:40:37,131 --> 01:40:38,565
preventative factors before

3258
01:40:38,565 --> 01:40:39,899
crisis, by connecting youth and

3259
01:40:39,899 --> 01:40:41,435
families to education,

3260
01:40:41,435 --> 01:40:43,435
employment, mentorship,

3261
01:40:45,238 --> 01:40:45,906
leadership and safe structured

3262
01:40:45,906 --> 01:40:47,774
opportunities.

3263
01:40:47,774 --> 01:40:49,760
And some of the representative

3264
01:40:49,760 --> 01:40:52,676
activities there of how we plan

3265
01:40:54,140 --> 01:40:55,983
to spend the 612,000 in this

3266
01:40:55,983 --> 01:40:57,384
area is to increase our year

3267
01:40:57,384 --> 01:40:59,784
round workforce development and

3268
01:40:59,953 --> 01:41:01,922
career pathways, have a

3269
01:41:01,922 --> 01:41:03,557
coordinated resource navigation

3270
01:41:03,557 --> 01:41:05,292
and opportunity connect, and

3271
01:41:05,292 --> 01:41:07,692
then some youth leadership,

3272
01:41:08,162 --> 01:41:09,363
family strengthen and safe out

3273
01:41:09,363 --> 01:41:12,299
of school time and program.

3274
01:41:12,299 --> 01:41:13,401
What's already included in

3275
01:41:13,401 --> 01:41:16,401
this -- what's already been

3276
01:41:18,772 --> 01:41:21,772
approved in fiscal year 27's

3277
01:41:22,510 --> 01:41:23,911
budget includes family and

3278
01:41:23,911 --> 01:41:25,546
planning resilience training and

3279
01:41:25,546 --> 01:41:27,281
employment funds that we might

3280
01:41:27,281 --> 01:41:29,316
spend there as well so -- our

3281
01:41:29,316 --> 01:41:30,418
next one is safe neighborhoods

3282
01:41:30,418 --> 01:41:32,418
and stabilization.

3283
01:41:32,487 --> 01:41:35,487
The proposed investment in safe

3284
01:41:35,790 --> 01:41:36,324
neighborhoods and stabilization

3285
01:41:36,324 --> 01:41:38,126
is 927,200.

3286
01:41:38,126 --> 01:41:40,294
This area addresses the physical

3287
01:41:40,294 --> 01:41:42,497
and social conditions that shape

3288
01:41:42,497 --> 01:41:43,564
neighborhood safety, including

3289
01:41:43,564 --> 01:41:45,564
housing stability, inclusive

3290
01:41:47,200 --> 01:41:47,869
public spaces, environmental

3291
01:41:47,869 --> 01:41:49,304
design, security infrastructure

3292
01:41:49,304 --> 01:41:49,737
and positive community gathering

3293
01:41:49,737 --> 01:41:51,737
opportunities.

3294
01:41:52,240 --> 01:41:54,142
This category preserves support

3295
01:41:54,142 --> 01:41:55,244
for the riverside hand-in-hand

3296
01:41:55,244 --> 01:41:57,644
housing program, which is

3297
01:41:57,645 --> 01:42:00,615
included in the fiscal year 27

3298
01:42:00,615 --> 01:42:02,951
budget, which also creates d

3299
01:42:02,951 --> 01:42:03,818
while also creating room for

3300
01:42:03,818 --> 01:42:05,154
strategic capital developments

3301
01:42:05,154 --> 01:42:07,554
proposed in coordination with

3302
01:42:09,525 --> 01:42:11,930
other departments as well.

3303
01:42:11,930 --> 01:42:13,195
That includes a portable skating

3304
01:42:13,195 --> 01:42:14,963
rink, a portable basketball

3305
01:42:14,963 --> 01:42:17,363
court, inclusive recreation and

3306
01:42:18,467 --> 01:42:20,467
sensory environments across

3307
01:42:20,969 --> 01:42:22,304
community centers, community

3308
01:42:22,304 --> 01:42:22,905
gathering spaces and security

3309
01:42:22,905 --> 01:42:24,905
and environmental safety

3310
01:42:26,208 --> 01:42:28,208
improvements as well.

3311
01:42:28,911 --> 01:42:30,879
>> vice mayor brown?

3312
01:42:30,879 --> 01:42:33,215
>> hugo, help me with inclusive

3313
01:42:33,215 --> 01:42:34,316
public spaces.

3314
01:42:34,316 --> 01:42:35,518
>> so at our community centers

3315
01:42:35,518 --> 01:42:37,520
and recreation centers, we want

3316
01:42:37,520 --> 01:42:41,252
to look at the spaces there to

3317
01:42:41,790 --> 01:42:43,920
make them more accessible and

3318
01:42:43,920 --> 01:42:44,527
inclusive of all people

3319
01:42:44,527 --> 01:42:45,961
especially ada accommodations

3320
01:42:45,961 --> 01:42:47,197
and things of that nature, so it

3321
01:42:47,197 --> 01:42:47,964
will have some different

3322
01:42:47,964 --> 01:42:50,364
recreation programing that we

3323
01:42:52,835 --> 01:42:54,203
MAY be able to offer.

3324
01:42:54,203 --> 01:42:55,305
As well as those that just

3325
01:42:55,305 --> 01:42:57,440
gather and choose to participate

3326
01:42:57,440 --> 01:42:58,408
in non-recreational activities.

3327
01:42:58,408 --> 01:42:59,408
>> is this tied to neighborhood

3328
01:42:59,408 --> 01:43:01,408
resource centers?

3329
01:43:01,511 --> 01:43:01,945
>> this particular segment is

3330
01:43:01,945 --> 01:43:02,345
not.

3331
01:43:02,345 --> 01:43:04,147
>> okay.

3332
01:43:04,147 --> 01:43:06,683
And the other thing, riverside

3333
01:43:06,683 --> 01:43:08,552
hand-in-hand housing program?

3334
01:43:08,552 --> 01:43:10,860
>> yes, so there is a proposal

3335
01:43:10,860 --> 01:43:12,288
that we're working on with the

3336
01:43:12,288 --> 01:43:13,156
riverside hand-in-hand hospital

3337
01:43:13,156 --> 01:43:15,156
based violence intervention

3338
01:43:15,792 --> 01:43:17,661
program to provide them some

3339
01:43:17,661 --> 01:43:21,970
support of making sure that when

3340
01:43:21,970 --> 01:43:23,166
those residents from our city

3341
01:43:23,166 --> 01:43:24,935
have been a victim of crime or

3342
01:43:24,935 --> 01:43:27,300
have been a victim of gunshots

3343
01:43:27,300 --> 01:43:28,572
or trauma that we have ability

3344
01:43:28,572 --> 01:43:30,907
to house them for whatever the

3345
01:43:30,907 --> 01:43:33,844
case MAY be, whether it's

3346
01:43:33,844 --> 01:43:35,479
relocation, for protective -- to

3347
01:43:35,479 --> 01:43:38,348
let cooler heads prevail so

3348
01:43:38,348 --> 01:43:39,783
there is not a reaction or

3349
01:43:39,783 --> 01:43:41,852
retaliation in the community.

3350
01:43:41,852 --> 01:43:42,386
We want to be able to support

3351
01:43:42,386 --> 01:43:44,386
that effort.

3352
01:43:45,222 --> 01:43:46,900
And there's a proposal that

3353
01:43:46,900 --> 01:43:48,900
we're currently considering.

3354
01:43:48,125 --> 01:43:50,427
>> we had -- just as a reminder,

3355
01:43:50,427 --> 01:43:53,970
we had that in the budget if the

3356
01:43:53,970 --> 01:43:54,365
current fiscal year -- the last

3357
01:43:54,365 --> 01:43:57,365
and the current fiscal year

3358
01:43:58,302 --> 01:43:59,403
really to help be a conduit

3359
01:43:59,403 --> 01:44:00,538
entity for some of the things

3360
01:44:00,538 --> 01:44:01,839
that will help stabilize

3361
01:44:01,839 --> 01:44:05,439
situations that are not as easy

3362
01:44:05,576 --> 01:44:07,412
for us to directly do.

3363
01:44:07,412 --> 01:44:10,948
And so in this particular case,

3364
01:44:10,948 --> 01:44:12,383
we're picking that up so it

3365
01:44:12,383 --> 01:44:13,651
doesn't remain -- our growing

3366
01:44:13,651 --> 01:44:17,251
needs there don't put a burden

3367
01:44:20,258 --> 01:44:21,259
on the general fund budget.

3368
01:44:21,259 --> 01:44:23,270
>> while we have done some of

3369
01:44:23,270 --> 01:44:24,229
this in the past we have to look

3370
01:44:24,229 --> 01:44:27,229
at different areas through our

3371
01:44:27,967 --> 01:44:29,967
crime prevention, through

3372
01:44:35,400 --> 01:44:36,708
environmental design and making

3373
01:44:36,708 --> 01:44:38,910
sure that we offer that as well

3374
01:44:38,910 --> 01:44:39,978
as a possibility.

3375
01:44:39,978 --> 01:44:42,981
Our next investment would be our

3376
01:44:42,981 --> 01:44:43,782
violence interruption and

3377
01:44:43,782 --> 01:44:45,782
community safety.

3378
01:44:47,850 --> 01:44:48,820
It is our largest proposed area

3379
01:44:48,820 --> 01:44:50,289
with $978,000 and those

3380
01:44:50,289 --> 01:44:52,289
represented the

3381
01:44:55,394 --> 01:44:57,394
representative activities

3382
01:44:57,629 --> 01:44:59,629
include violence interrupter

3383
01:44:59,832 --> 01:45:01,233
teams, as well as our hopeful

3384
01:45:01,233 --> 01:45:03,469
hampton divergent program and

3385
01:45:03,469 --> 01:45:05,370
structure intervention and every

3386
01:45:05,370 --> 01:45:07,139
entry crisis response and

3387
01:45:07,139 --> 01:45:09,139
emergency stabilization.

3388
01:45:11,410 --> 01:45:14,680
As you can see, also included in

3389
01:45:14,680 --> 01:45:16,982
fiscal year approved budget is

3390
01:45:16,982 --> 01:45:18,170
our voices in power,

3391
01:45:18,170 --> 01:45:19,885
[Indiscernible] Star reentry

3392
01:45:19,885 --> 01:45:22,255
center we want to work with and

3393
01:45:22,255 --> 01:45:24,490
then increasing our credible

3394
01:45:24,490 --> 01:45:26,930
messenger capacity as well.

3395
01:45:26,930 --> 01:45:27,493
I thought you had a question --

3396
01:45:27,493 --> 01:45:29,128
>> if I MAY again just to

3397
01:45:29,128 --> 01:45:29,796
clarify, hugo is referencing the

3398
01:45:29,796 --> 01:45:31,796
'27 budget.

3399
01:45:31,998 --> 01:45:34,000
You MAY recollect that during

3400
01:45:34,000 --> 01:45:35,301
the budget, we took a chance

3401
01:45:35,301 --> 01:45:37,370
that we were going to get this.

3402
01:45:37,370 --> 01:45:38,471
I say took a chance because,

3403
01:45:38,471 --> 01:45:40,240
remember, the state budget had

3404
01:45:40,240 --> 01:45:41,875
not been finalized but we were

3405
01:45:41,875 --> 01:45:43,176
pushing to make sure that we

3406
01:45:43,176 --> 01:45:44,444
could pick up one time monies

3407
01:45:44,444 --> 01:45:46,790
that we had used for some of

3408
01:45:46,790 --> 01:45:48,810
these programs, like the

3409
01:45:48,810 --> 01:45:49,349
riverside helping hand or some

3410
01:45:49,349 --> 01:45:51,170
of the money for the divergent

3411
01:45:51,170 --> 01:45:52,353
programs and things like that

3412
01:45:52,353 --> 01:45:52,819
for prior grants that were

3413
01:45:52,819 --> 01:45:54,819
running out.

3414
01:45:55,188 --> 01:45:56,423
We wanted to continue those.

3415
01:45:56,423 --> 01:45:57,958
We were believing we would get

3416
01:45:57,958 --> 01:45:59,893
the state grant.

3417
01:45:59,893 --> 01:46:00,927
So we took a million of the 2.5

3418
01:46:00,927 --> 01:46:02,996
to be able to continue things

3419
01:46:02,996 --> 01:46:03,763
that we had started with

3420
01:46:03,763 --> 01:46:05,980
one-time money.

3421
01:46:05,980 --> 01:46:06,199
And those were the ones we put

3422
01:46:06,199 --> 01:46:07,534
in the budget.

3423
01:46:07,534 --> 01:46:08,402
We didn't -- because we didn't

3424
01:46:08,402 --> 01:46:10,138
know if the state budget would

3425
01:46:10,138 --> 01:46:12,730
include us in the end, we didn't

3426
01:46:12,730 --> 01:46:14,700
push it all the way to the 2.5

3427
01:46:14,700 --> 01:46:16,700
or the 3.1.

3428
01:46:16,776 --> 01:46:18,880
So when he's making callbacks to

3429
01:46:18,880 --> 01:46:20,848
what the '27 budget includes,

3430
01:46:20,848 --> 01:46:22,483
he's making reference to that

3431
01:46:22,483 --> 01:46:23,350
first million dollars we had

3432
01:46:23,350 --> 01:46:25,350
pre-allocated basically.

3433
01:46:25,820 --> 01:46:27,655
I just saw some confused

3434
01:46:27,655 --> 01:46:29,290
expressions as hugo was

3435
01:46:29,290 --> 01:46:30,891
referencing '27 so he's trying

3436
01:46:30,891 --> 01:46:31,759
to make the link back for you

3437
01:46:31,759 --> 01:46:33,161
all with what you did in the

3438
01:46:33,161 --> 01:46:35,696
budget by using one million

3439
01:46:35,696 --> 01:46:39,296
dollars of grant funds that we

3440
01:46:39,967 --> 01:46:40,736
anticipated getting, with the

3441
01:46:40,736 --> 01:46:41,869
predefined programs and these

3442
01:46:41,869 --> 01:46:43,104
other things he's talking about

3443
01:46:43,104 --> 01:46:44,710
either expansions or new things

3444
01:46:44,710 --> 01:46:46,700
are using the differential

3445
01:46:46,700 --> 01:46:48,876
between the money we're getting

3446
01:46:48,876 --> 01:46:49,310
and the one million we already

3447
01:46:49,310 --> 01:46:51,310
pre-allocated.

3448
01:46:52,480 --> 01:46:53,848
Does that help?

3449
01:46:53,848 --> 01:46:55,490
>> all right, our next

3450
01:46:55,490 --> 01:46:58,490
investment area we're going to

3451
01:46:58,987 --> 01:47:00,555
look at is healing and recovery,

3452
01:47:00,555 --> 01:47:02,955
by expanding trauma informed

3453
01:47:03,910 --> 01:47:05,160
care, healing supports, recovery

3454
01:47:05,160 --> 01:47:05,560
services and school connected

3455
01:47:05,560 --> 01:47:07,560
prevention.

3456
01:47:08,330 --> 01:47:08,697
In this area we've proposed

3457
01:47:08,697 --> 01:47:10,697
$225,000.

3458
01:47:11,233 --> 01:47:12,434
This proposed investment in

3459
01:47:12,434 --> 01:47:13,969
healing and recovery recognized

3460
01:47:13,969 --> 01:47:15,704
violence as both a public safety

3461
01:47:15,704 --> 01:47:16,572
issue and a public health

3462
01:47:16,572 --> 01:47:17,706
awareness issue.

3463
01:47:17,706 --> 01:47:20,900
The effects of violence do not

3464
01:47:20,900 --> 01:47:20,443
end when the incident report is

3465
01:47:20,443 --> 01:47:21,977
completed.

3466
01:47:21,977 --> 01:47:24,312
Trauma can affect a victim, a

3467
01:47:24,312 --> 01:47:26,182
family, a peer group, a school,

3468
01:47:26,182 --> 01:47:26,816
an entire neighborhood.

3469
01:47:26,816 --> 01:47:28,816
Representative activities

3470
01:47:29,180 --> 01:47:31,418
include trauma informed behavior

3471
01:47:32,621 --> 01:47:34,957
health services and clinical

3472
01:47:34,957 --> 01:47:36,392
screenings, victim-family, peer

3473
01:47:36,392 --> 01:47:38,560
and community healing supports,

3474
01:47:38,560 --> 01:47:40,950
a safe passage program connected

3475
01:47:40,950 --> 01:47:41,430
with our schools and school

3476
01:47:41,430 --> 01:47:42,731
connected prevention and

3477
01:47:42,731 --> 01:47:44,167
workforce training that

3478
01:47:44,167 --> 01:47:46,567
strengthening the capacity of

3479
01:47:47,200 --> 01:47:47,570
staff and partners to respond

3480
01:47:47,570 --> 01:47:48,370
effectively.

3481
01:47:48,370 --> 01:47:50,370
So if you

3482
01:47:50,840 --> 01:47:51,607
doing some additional

3483
01:47:51,607 --> 01:47:53,809
training around local trainings

3484
01:47:53,809 --> 01:47:55,912
and CBTs to ensure that staff

3485
01:47:55,912 --> 01:47:56,245
have the capacity to respond as

3486
01:47:56,245 --> 01:47:58,245
well.

3487
01:47:58,648 --> 01:47:59,849
this proposal is not intended to

3488
01:47:59,849 --> 01:48:01,849
duplicate existing behavioral

3489
01:48:02,251 --> 01:48:03,786
health services and instead it

3490
01:48:03,786 --> 01:48:06,186
creates opportunities to close

3491
01:48:06,856 --> 01:48:08,570
gaps, improve referrals, support

3492
01:48:08,570 --> 01:48:09,159
trauma informed responses and

3493
01:48:09,159 --> 01:48:10,694
connect residents to help

3494
01:48:10,694 --> 01:48:13,940
through trusted city and

3495
01:48:14,564 --> 01:48:16,564
community partners.

3496
01:48:16,866 --> 01:48:18,680
Our next area would be community

3497
01:48:18,680 --> 01:48:20,680
partnerships and capacity

3498
01:48:20,704 --> 01:48:22,380
building and it's proposed for

3499
01:48:22,380 --> 01:48:24,380
$215,000, extend hampton's reach

3500
01:48:24,341 --> 01:48:25,775
by investing in community

3501
01:48:25,775 --> 01:48:26,576
organizations, resident led

3502
01:48:26,576 --> 01:48:28,576
solution

3503
01:48:29,246 --> 01:48:29,813
solutions and collaborative

3504
01:48:29,813 --> 01:48:30,914
networks.

3505
01:48:30,914 --> 01:48:32,249
So representative activities

3506
01:48:32,249 --> 01:48:34,318
include competitive grants for

3507
01:48:34,318 --> 01:48:35,852
community based organizations,

3508
01:48:35,852 --> 01:48:36,453
faith and community

3509
01:48:36,453 --> 01:48:37,688
collaboration, technical

3510
01:48:37,688 --> 01:48:40,880
assistance in a flexible

3511
01:48:41,525 --> 01:48:41,959
structure for emerging community

3512
01:48:41,959 --> 01:48:43,894
initiatives.

3513
01:48:43,894 --> 01:48:44,895
Community organizations often

3514
01:48:44,895 --> 01:48:46,797
have relationships and access

3515
01:48:46,797 --> 01:48:47,164
that government cannot

3516
01:48:47,164 --> 01:48:49,164
reproduce.

3517
01:48:49,900 --> 01:48:51,869
They MAY be the first to

3518
01:48:51,869 --> 01:48:53,271
recognize a developing conflict,

3519
01:48:53,271 --> 01:48:56,474
the first place a family turns

3520
01:48:56,474 --> 01:48:57,574
for help or trusted voice to

3521
01:48:57,574 --> 01:48:57,975
encourages a young person to

3522
01:48:57,975 --> 01:48:59,975
self-report.

3523
01:49:00,311 --> 01:49:01,946
So we envision having the

3524
01:49:01,946 --> 01:49:03,681
opportunity, much like our mini

3525
01:49:03,681 --> 01:49:04,648
grant process, to go through a

3526
01:49:04,648 --> 01:49:05,783
competitive process where

3527
01:49:05,783 --> 01:49:07,783
grassroots organizations would

3528
01:49:08,419 --> 01:49:09,987
come alongside of us that fall

3529
01:49:09,987 --> 01:49:12,560
in that category of

3530
01:49:12,560 --> 01:49:13,157
intervention, prevention or

3531
01:49:13,157 --> 01:49:16,757
awareness to do some of this

3532
01:49:18,429 --> 01:49:19,964
work alongside of us.

3533
01:49:19,964 --> 01:49:22,364
>> a question right there.

3534
01:49:23,168 --> 01:49:25,437
Regarding the 215 for community

3535
01:49:25,437 --> 01:49:27,472
partnerships, which includes the

3536
01:49:27,472 --> 01:49:29,872
competitive mini grants, will

3537
01:49:31,209 --> 01:49:32,844
this be 215 in addition to what

3538
01:49:32,844 --> 01:49:35,844
we're already spend, so we're

3539
01:49:36,648 --> 01:49:38,316
able to offer more mini grants?

3540
01:49:38,316 --> 01:49:41,286
Okay, all right, thank you.

3541
01:49:41,286 --> 01:49:42,921
>> no problem.

3542
01:49:42,921 --> 01:49:44,222
And lastly would be our strategy

3543
01:49:44,222 --> 01:49:44,522
innovation and sustainability,

3544
01:49:44,522 --> 01:49:45,557
right.

3545
01:49:45,557 --> 01:49:47,325
We want to continue the work

3546
01:49:47,325 --> 01:49:48,860
that has already been started,

3547
01:49:48,860 --> 01:49:50,395
but as we start new work, we

3548
01:49:50,395 --> 01:49:51,930
want to be able to look at how

3549
01:49:51,930 --> 01:49:54,132
do we sustain this and what is

3550
01:49:54,132 --> 01:49:56,532
the data telling us.

3551
01:49:58,504 --> 01:49:59,705
So we propose another $158,513

3552
01:49:59,705 --> 01:50:01,907
in this investment strategy.

3553
01:50:01,907 --> 01:50:03,909
This category supports the

3554
01:50:03,909 --> 01:50:05,909
staffing, data, evaluation,

3555
01:50:05,978 --> 01:50:07,413
communication and continuous

3556
01:50:07,413 --> 01:50:09,581
improvement functions needed to

3557
01:50:09,581 --> 01:50:10,115
administer the award and

3558
01:50:10,115 --> 01:50:11,584
demonstrate results.

3559
01:50:11,584 --> 01:50:13,686
The safer community guidelines

3560
01:50:13,686 --> 01:50:16,860
requires a full-time coordinated

3561
01:50:16,222 --> 01:50:17,423
dedicated to the planning,

3562
01:50:17,423 --> 01:50:18,958
implementation and coordination

3563
01:50:18,958 --> 01:50:20,590
of community violence

3564
01:50:20,590 --> 01:50:21,695
restructuring strategies.

3565
01:50:21,695 --> 01:50:24,695
That position will help align

3566
01:50:24,897 --> 01:50:26,232
departments and partners, track

3567
01:50:26,232 --> 01:50:27,433
implementation, manage grant

3568
01:50:27,433 --> 01:50:28,835
requirements and pursue

3569
01:50:28,835 --> 01:50:30,835
opportunities to sustain

3570
01:50:31,470 --> 01:50:32,138
effective work beyond the award

3571
01:50:32,138 --> 01:50:33,539
period.

3572
01:50:33,539 --> 01:50:35,939
This category also includes

3573
01:50:36,909 --> 01:50:38,445
evaluation and performance

3574
01:50:38,445 --> 01:50:39,846
measurement, a community center

3575
01:50:39,846 --> 01:50:40,413
data dashboard, strategic

3576
01:50:40,413 --> 01:50:41,214
communications and

3577
01:50:41,214 --> 01:50:42,549
sustainability planning.

3578
01:50:42,549 --> 01:50:44,417
These are not add-ons.

3579
01:50:44,417 --> 01:50:45,618
They are the infrastructure that

3580
01:50:45,618 --> 01:50:47,186
allows council, staff, partners

3581
01:50:47,186 --> 01:50:49,155
and residents to understand

3582
01:50:49,155 --> 01:50:51,240
where funds were invested, what

3583
01:50:51,240 --> 01:50:52,659
activities occur, who will serve

3584
01:50:52,659 --> 01:50:54,761
and whether the strategy is

3585
01:50:54,761 --> 01:50:57,161
producing the intended results.

3586
01:50:57,764 --> 01:50:59,399
Because this is a one-year

3587
01:50:59,399 --> 01:51:01,399
award, discipline implementation

3588
01:51:01,468 --> 01:51:01,835
and regular monitoring will be

3589
01:51:01,835 --> 01:51:03,835
essential.

3590
01:51:03,870 --> 01:51:05,872
We must be able to identify

3591
01:51:05,872 --> 01:51:06,540
delays early, adjust

3592
01:51:06,540 --> 01:51:08,750
responsibly, document

3593
01:51:08,750 --> 01:51:09,810
expenditures and ensure the full

3594
01:51:09,810 --> 01:51:11,778
investment is used for eligible

3595
01:51:11,778 --> 01:51:13,647
and impactful purposes.

3596
01:51:13,647 --> 01:51:16,850
And that's why you see that

3597
01:51:16,850 --> 01:51:17,951
investment at that level.

3598
01:51:17,951 --> 01:51:20,154
So today we're asking council

3599
01:51:20,154 --> 01:51:22,355
for feedback on the proposed

3600
01:51:22,355 --> 01:51:23,557
categories, priorities and

3601
01:51:23,557 --> 01:51:24,425
overall investment direction.

3602
01:51:24,425 --> 01:51:25,960
Specifically, we would like to

3603
01:51:25,960 --> 01:51:27,328
know whether this framework

3604
01:51:27,328 --> 01:51:28,729
reflects the community safety

3605
01:51:28,729 --> 01:51:31,129
priorities council wants hampton

3606
01:51:31,465 --> 01:51:33,434
to advance, whether the proposed

3607
01:51:33,434 --> 01:51:34,435
balance among direct programing,

3608
01:51:34,435 --> 01:51:35,970
neighborhood investments,

3609
01:51:35,970 --> 01:51:37,970
community partnerships, healing

3610
01:51:38,305 --> 01:51:39,730
services and accountability is

3611
01:51:39,730 --> 01:51:40,808
appropriate, and whether there

3612
01:51:40,808 --> 01:51:41,909
are concerns or adjustments

3613
01:51:41,909 --> 01:51:44,440
staff should address before the

3614
01:51:44,440 --> 01:51:45,580
application is finalized.

3615
01:51:45,580 --> 01:51:47,548
Following council's feedback,

3616
01:51:47,548 --> 01:51:49,384
staff will refine category

3617
01:51:49,384 --> 01:51:51,784
totals as necessary, verify

3618
01:51:52,920 --> 01:51:54,221
project costs, confirm allowable

3619
01:51:54,221 --> 01:51:55,656
expenses, completed supporting

3620
01:51:55,656 --> 01:51:58,560
narratives and approvals and

3621
01:51:58,259 --> 01:52:01,620
prepare the application for the

3622
01:52:01,620 --> 01:52:02,263
submission by AUGUST 31st.

3623
01:52:02,263 --> 01:52:05,133
And then again this proposal is

3624
01:52:05,133 --> 01:52:06,668
not a collection of disconnected

3625
01:52:06,668 --> 01:52:08,503
programs, it is an investment in

3626
01:52:08,503 --> 01:52:10,205
our ecosystem and what we've

3627
01:52:10,205 --> 01:52:10,539
already began with hopeful

3628
01:52:10,539 --> 01:52:12,273
hampton.

3629
01:52:12,273 --> 01:52:14,476
We want to further advance the

3630
01:52:14,476 --> 01:52:17,790
work, close the gaps and

3631
01:52:17,790 --> 01:52:18,113
continue making sure that we

3632
01:52:18,113 --> 01:52:20,113
provide opportunities and

3633
01:52:23,852 --> 01:52:24,619
results as well.

3634
01:52:24,619 --> 01:52:26,619
>> questions?

3635
01:52:26,855 --> 01:52:29,255
I'm sorry, COUNCILWOMAN Mugler?

3636
01:52:30,292 --> 01:52:32,692
>> thank you, MR. Mayor.

3637
01:52:33,996 --> 01:52:36,264
and thank you, hugo.

3638
01:52:36,264 --> 01:52:39,264
This is a good presentation.

3639
01:52:41,103 --> 01:52:42,771
And a very thoughtful proposal.

3640
01:52:42,771 --> 01:52:44,307
So I am impressed with -- you

3641
01:52:44,307 --> 01:52:46,242
have a lot of money to spend so

3642
01:52:46,242 --> 01:52:47,910
you've been very thoughtful

3643
01:52:47,910 --> 01:52:48,477
about how you can direct this

3644
01:52:48,477 --> 01:52:50,477
money.

3645
01:52:52,810 --> 01:52:56,281
The only area I think I would

3646
01:52:58,654 --> 01:53:01,390
see a challenge is in your

3647
01:53:01,390 --> 01:53:03,126
violence interrupters, and that

3648
01:53:03,126 --> 01:53:05,428
is only that we -- it's hard to

3649
01:53:05,428 --> 01:53:07,330
find them, right.

3650
01:53:07,330 --> 01:53:08,898
And so that's where the

3651
01:53:08,898 --> 01:53:10,733
challenge will be, I think, is

3652
01:53:10,733 --> 01:53:12,969
to find good folks like the ones

3653
01:53:12,969 --> 01:53:13,736
we already have participating

3654
01:53:13,736 --> 01:53:15,736
with us.

3655
01:53:19,208 --> 01:53:19,976
But we know that that's been a

3656
01:53:19,976 --> 01:53:20,877
tremendously successful part of

3657
01:53:20,877 --> 01:53:22,877
your work.

3658
01:53:23,980 --> 01:53:26,149
And so I hope we can use every

3659
01:53:26,149 --> 01:53:28,151
penny of that to expand that and

3660
01:53:28,151 --> 01:53:30,653
make it work for young people.

3661
01:53:30,653 --> 01:53:31,354
But yeah, I think this is a very

3662
01:53:31,354 --> 01:53:31,988
thoughtful proposal.

3663
01:53:31,988 --> 01:53:33,988
>> thank you.

3664
01:53:34,724 --> 01:53:36,590
And some of our team members

3665
01:53:36,590 --> 01:53:36,826
have additional referrals and

3666
01:53:36,826 --> 01:53:39,226
recommendations they would want

3667
01:53:39,996 --> 01:53:41,131
to make as well, so we would be

3668
01:53:41,131 --> 01:53:42,666
open to their feedback for the

3669
01:53:42,666 --> 01:53:44,201
current team that's serving and

3670
01:53:44,201 --> 01:53:46,537
then how do we expand on what we

3671
01:53:46,537 --> 01:53:48,271
have right now and then possibly

3672
01:53:48,271 --> 01:53:48,572
making some additions to that

3673
01:53:48,572 --> 01:53:49,806
team.

3674
01:53:49,806 --> 01:53:50,807
>> you've got your work cut out

3675
01:53:50,807 --> 01:53:51,241
for you.

3676
01:53:51,241 --> 01:53:53,143
>> yes.

3677
01:53:53,143 --> 01:53:54,111
>> especially between now and

3678
01:53:54,111 --> 01:53:56,111
AUGUST 31st, right?

3679
01:53:56,513 --> 01:53:58,148
>> yes, but I have great support

3680
01:53:58,148 --> 01:54:00,818
and multiple departments as well

3681
01:54:00,818 --> 01:54:01,819
sites not -- while we're

3682
01:54:01,819 --> 01:54:03,120
coordinating the effort there's

3683
01:54:03,120 --> 01:54:05,756
good support around the city and

3684
01:54:05,756 --> 01:54:06,123
we're doing this collaboratively

3685
01:54:06,123 --> 01:54:08,123
together.

3686
01:54:08,392 --> 01:54:10,392
Thank you.

3687
01:54:11,195 --> 01:54:11,562
>> any other questions,

3688
01:54:11,562 --> 01:54:12,830
comments?

3689
01:54:12,830 --> 01:54:14,164
Okay well, thank you, hugo.

3690
01:54:14,164 --> 01:54:16,634
A lot of presentations today, a

3691
01:54:16,634 --> 01:54:18,970
lot of good information.

3692
01:54:18,970 --> 01:54:20,738
And I think we're excited about

3693
01:54:20,738 --> 01:54:22,640
the good work you're going to do

3694
01:54:22,640 --> 01:54:23,507
going forward, taking full

3695
01:54:23,507 --> 01:54:24,410
advantage of the safer

3696
01:54:24,410 --> 01:54:25,420
communities grants.

3697
01:54:25,420 --> 01:54:28,120
>> all right, thank you, mayor.

3698
01:54:28,120 --> 01:54:30,810
And thank you, members of

3699
01:54:30,810 --> 01:54:31,983
council.

3700
01:54:31,983 --> 01:54:33,418
>> so that sounds like you're

3701
01:54:33,418 --> 01:54:35,353
comfortable generally with us

3702
01:54:35,353 --> 01:54:35,820
submitting this --

3703
01:54:35,820 --> 01:54:37,555
[Applause]

3704
01:54:37,555 --> 01:54:39,570
And we plan to bring back even

3705
01:54:39,570 --> 01:54:40,492
better numbers than the ones we

3706
01:54:40,492 --> 01:54:41,793
gave you in the earlier

3707
01:54:41,793 --> 01:54:43,762
presentation after we're able to

3708
01:54:43,762 --> 01:54:45,397
do these additional things.

3709
01:54:45,397 --> 01:54:48,397
MR. Mayor, that completes the

3710
01:54:48,533 --> 01:54:48,967
prepared staff presentations for

3712
01:54:49,734 --> 01:54:51,703
>> okay, all right.

3713
01:54:51,703 --> 01:54:53,972
So with that, are there any

3714
01:54:53,972 --> 01:54:55,972
regional issues?

3715
01:54:56,975 --> 01:54:58,410
Any items of new business?

3716
01:54:58,410 --> 01:55:00,178
All right, there being none,

3717
01:55:00,178 --> 01:55:03,215
then I'm going to ask the clerk

3718
01:55:03,215 --> 01:55:04,149

3719
01:55:04,149 --> 01:55:05,450
