>>  yes, the hospice people are here.

78
00:23:27,669 --> 00:23:27,669
>>  good morning judge and commissioners.  Whereas for

79
00:23:32,641 --> 00:23:32,641
more than 40 years hospice has helped provide comfort and

80
00:23:41,315 --> 00:23:44,720
dignity to millions of people allowing them to spend their final moments at home surrounded by the people important to them.  Whereas, the hospice model is built on

81
00:23:46,021 --> 00:23:46,021
an inner discipline team oriented approach including

82
00:23:52,728 --> 00:23:54,196
expert medical care, quality symptom control and comprehensive pain management as a foundation of care.

83
00:23:58,934 --> 00:23:58,934
whereas, in an increasingly fragmented and broken

84
00:24:04,207 --> 00:24:05,641
healthcare system hospice is one of the few sectors that demonstrates how healthcare can and should work and is best for

85
00:24:08,910 --> 00:24:11,713
the people it serves.  Whereas, 1.61 million medicare beneficiaries living with life illnesses and families receive

care from the nations hospice programs and communities across

87

the united states in 2019. Whereas, hospice organizations are advocates and educators about advance care planning that help individuals make decisions about the care that

88
00:24:34,437 --> 00:24:36,505
they want.  Now, therefore, we proclaim the hidalgo county commissioners court proclaims the month of november 2022 as

00:25:48,444 --> 00:25:49,912
november is a time of giving thanks for all of our blessings and it happens to be national hospice and palliative care

98
00:25:53,616 --> 00:25:55,685
month.  Palliative care means to lessen the severity of a patient's suffering especially with life limiting illness.

99
00:25:58,221 --> 00:25:58,221
however we take this time and opportunity to engage with

100
00:26:03,827 --> 00:26:06,528

101
00:26:09,599 --> 00:26:09,599

102
00:26:19,142 --> 00:26:20,610
and care workers who make a difference every day in our patient stay with their family. These heroic caregivers play a

103
00:26:27,783 --> 00:26:31,254
vital role in the healthcare system.  Let's raise awareness about the highest quality of care going to patients through this difficult time at end of life.  And let's carry the

104
00:26:50,306 --> 00:26:53,710
sentiment through the year to follow.  Hospice and palliative care workers are skilled professionals that provide medical, emotional, social and spiritual care to those with

105
00:26:55,312 --> 00:26:56,846
long-term and terminal illnesses.  Plus, they provide support to the family members as well.  The team includes

106
00:27:00,717 --> 00:27:02,718
physicians, pas, nurse practitioners, nurses, social workers, therapists and more. It takes compassion and care to

107
00:27:08,091 --> 00:27:10,293
be a hospice and palliative care worker.  As well as patience and endurance as the hours are long and

108
00:27:20,103 --> 00:27:23,607
unpredictable.  Not only do they provide care for the patients but lessen the burdens on the families.  It takes a very special person to work in hospice and relative care.

109
00:27:25,675 --> 00:27:29,212
whether you are the one receiving palliative care, have a family member in hospice, let's take some time to honor these members and thank you for this time.  [applause]

111
00:27:46,030 --> 00:27:48,799

113
00:28:03,047 --> 00:28:04,949
and being able to give it the respect and care and compassion that is needed to make it good, a good part of life.  Something

114
00:28:12,456 --> 00:28:12,456

115
00:28:19,196 --> 00:28:22,266

thank you for having us. Usually I have my 17-year-old daughter with me but I'm happy to tell you she is at school

143
00:36:04,631 --> 00:36:04,631
today.  It is extraordinary because just after a year ago

144
00:36:10,404 --> 00:36:13,574
she lost total control.  She broke through all of her medication and the day after christmas we drove to houston and we were inpatient for a week.  It's also extorting a

145
00:36:17,978 --> 00:36:17,978
because we came out that stay with wonderful new spirit we

146
00:36:22,049 --> 00:36:22,049
believe that since her last go at resection at 2015 we were

147
00:36:31,192 --> 00:36:32,993
out of medicine, out of science and data and that surgery was no longer an option.  Knowing this inpatient state we were

148
00:36:37,197 --> 00:36:37,197
told that science has been made and she is in a series two of

149
00:36:45,539 --> 00:36:47,708
three and we are wrapping up with laser ablation at the end of this month.  I am telling you this because just in 2016

150
00:36:52,446 --> 00:36:55,950
we have ran out of medicine. There was nothing that could be done for her.  Now, here we are taking this next giant leap.

151
00:36:59,053 --> 00:36:59,053
it is radical that the valley not only catch up but keep up

152
00:37:06,961 --> 00:37:09,863
with the treatment of epilepsy. I am encouraged in what dhr is doing and they are trying to get to a level iii epilepsy

153
00:37:15,770 --> 00:37:18,005
center.  Most of our kids who are intractable have to go to euston, san antonio or corpus to get this care.  We ask that

154
00:37:28,682 --> 00:37:32,553
any opportunity you have to support our medical communities and build our neurology programs that specifically address epilepsy we would like to do so.  Now, my buddy,

155
00:37:34,521 --> 00:37:36,023
nathaniel has been patient and he has something to say to you. >>  hello, my name is nathaniel.  Stop seizures.

156
00:37:51,807 --> 00:37:51,807
hello, my name is nathaniel. Stop seizures.

157
00:37:59,047 --> 00:37:59,047
>>  tell them thank you. >>  thank you.  Hello, my name

158
00:38:05,353 --> 00:38:05,353
is nathaniel.  Stop seizures. Thank you.  [applause]

159
00:38:20,535 --> 00:38:20,535
>>  nathaniel talks through his ipad.  And his mom has helped

160
00:38:24,973 --> 00:38:24,973
him hear chi make sure he has a voice for himself.

161
00:38:30,679 --> 00:38:30,679
>>  thank you very much for supporting the epilepsy

162
00:38:34,949 --> 00:38:36,986
community.  I never asked to join this community. Fortunately when nathaniel was diagnosed at 14 months I had

163
00:38:42,958 --> 00:38:45,127
nowhere to turn to.  It will be a forever lifetime journey that I'm so glad to have the epilepsy support t group full

164
00:38:49,698 --> 00:38:49,698
of people who have traveled this journey who will continue

165
00:38:53,868 --> 00:38:53,868
and who offer me resources, advice and support.  Like april

166
00:38:58,874 --> 00:39:01,677
said, if you have the opportunity to support the medical community and bring down a level iv, level v

167
00:39:07,382 --> 00:39:10,953
hospital epilepsy we appreciate it.  You don't understand how many times we have had to make the sacrifice to travel out of

168
00:39:13,222 --> 00:39:16,958
town to get the quality of care that we need.  In this difficult journey I do not wish epilepsy on anybody.  We are

169
00:39:20,830 --> 00:39:20,830
okay and nathaniel has come a long way.  His seizures, thank

170
00:39:27,236 --> 00:39:27,236
god, are controlled.  He has had surgeries and he is on

171
00:39:32,975 --> 00:39:34,209
medication and we don't know what the future looks like. For now nathaniel has made so much progress more than what

172
00:39:37,212 --> 00:39:40,949
was ever expected.  Thank you so much. >>  thank you.  [applause] [applause]

173
00:43:08,158 --> 00:43:08,158
>>  judge, item 5d if I may proceed is a proclamation

174
00:43:17,468 --> 00:43:17,468
declaring november 16, 2022 as 211 texas program celebration

175
00:43:21,673 --> 00:43:21,673
and referral national day. Judge, as you well know and

176
00:43:30,247 --> 00:43:33,318
commissioners, as you know, hidalgo county is privileged to have a 211 system and informational sum for social services.  People can pick up the phone, dial 211, get an

177
00:43:45,596 --> 00:43:49,501
operator in english or spanish and ask questions about social services that are available to them in the community.  It's probably the best-kept secret in the entire county and one

178
00:43:50,769 --> 00:43:54,739
thing that we found out working through the prosperity task force that mr. Reyna is going to talk about.  Judge, it's your initiative that started this conversation about how do

179
00:43:59,944 --> 00:44:03,581
we help people in poverty escape poverty?  The number 1 thing is to get information in front of them so they can

180
00:44:06,551 --> 00:44:09,086
access the wonderful services that are here in the county.  I want to invite mr. Reyna to come up and speak briefly about

181
00:44:13,191 --> 00:44:14,759
211 and the prosperity task force. >>  good morning and thank you for allowing us to be here.  I

182
00:44:22,401 --> 00:44:22,401
arrived here in the valley back in 1996 after a 20 year air

183
00:44:28,039 --> 00:44:28,039
force career.  When I arrived the unemployment rate in

184
00:44:34,145 --> 00:44:34,145
hidalgo county was about 23, 24 percent.  Now they are 7.8

185
00:44:40,251 --> 00:44:40,251
percent, 7.7.  There has been some prosperity.  Thanks to the

186
00:44:45,591 --> 00:44:45,591
judge initiative we have started or he started a process

187
00:44:53,197 --> 00:44:53,197
way back in march of 2020 that something more had to be done

188
00:44:58,937 --> 00:44:58,937
because the situation here in hidalgo county is what we would

189
00:45:03,575 --> 00:45:03,575
be considered to be dire.  When you have at least 40 percent of

190
00:45:08,980 --> 00:45:08,980
our citizens in poverty that is not a good situation at all.

191
00:45:14,052 --> 00:45:14,052
so, the task force main objective is to get people into

192
00:45:21,760 --> 00:45:24,496
prosperity.  Groups were created to look at some of the items that needs to be addressed.  For example,

193
00:45:29,068 --> 00:45:29,068
housing, food insecurity, transportation, counseling,

194
00:45:36,107 --> 00:45:38,443
mentoring, workforce development, economic development, higher learning and then there's also an

195
00:45:42,180 --> 00:45:45,751
administrative group.  The discussions with all the groups that we are having, the services to residents group

196
00:45:50,855 --> 00:45:50,855
kept saying 211 is the answer. I look at myself.  I was

197
00:46:01,033 --> 00:46:03,802
educated by the finest organization in the world the united states air force.  I was the dean at stc for business

198
00:46:08,974 --> 00:46:08,974
and technology and I had no idea what 211 is.  I said well,

199
00:46:16,415 --> 00:46:16,415
if you think 211 is an answer then we need to make 211

200
00:46:22,955 --> 00:46:22,955
equivalent to 911.  Any kid out there knows if there is a

201
00:46:30,997 --> 00:46:30,997
situation going on they call 911.  How many of us think of

202
00:46:35,034 --> 00:46:35,034
211 that way?  I guarantee you that we don't.  I am glad that

203
00:46:42,241 --> 00:46:42,241
there is this proclamation being talked about.  There is

204
00:46:47,047 --> 00:46:47,047
more that needs to be done. The prosperity task force, each

205
00:46:54,887 --> 00:46:56,088
group, what they are doing is taking inventory of what we have in the county.  We are finding where there might be

206
00:47:00,026 --> 00:47:00,026
some gaps.  This is one initiative, one item that we

207
00:47:09,002 --> 00:47:10,936
are going to push forward and this is just the beginning. There's more that needs to be done with 211 and I thank you

208
00:47:16,943 --> 00:47:16,943
for allowing us to be here this morning.  [applause]

209
00:47:22,315 --> 00:47:25,852
>>  judge, today we do have dalia duarte with the 211 system representing abby and abby since her regrets for not

210
00:47:34,193 --> 00:47:34,193
being able to be with us today. Really, 211 is exactly what mr.

211
00:47:38,431 --> 00:47:39,966
reyna talked about.  A clearinghouse of information were nonprofits, community-based organizations

212
00:47:47,107 --> 00:47:50,243
can fill out a form about the services they offer.  It is kept on a database system and people call nine211, people can access it online.  I don't know if jackie can bring that up.

213
00:47:57,717 --> 00:47:59,687
there is a website, there it is.  Type in your zip code and click on what together item you are needing, housing

214
00:48:02,856 --> 00:48:02,856
assistance, utility assistance, impartial to utility

215
00:48:09,096 --> 00:48:09,096
assistance, of course.  But all kinds of services.  It will

216
00:48:13,600 --> 00:48:15,202
pull up a menu of different services available right there in that zip code.  You can do by phone or about silly neonlin

217
00:48:20,173 --> 00:48:20,173
it is english or spanish. Really, the one thing that held

218
00:48:25,011 --> 00:48:28,982
the 211 system back is a lack of knowledge that the system is out there.  With this proclamation today and

219
00:48:32,752 --> 00:48:36,156
representative with folks from the urban county program representing the food bank, really, all of the community based organizations that serve hidalgo county, we urge those

220
00:48:39,192 --> 00:48:39,192
organizations to join the system.  We want residents in

221
00:48:49,002 --> 00:48:49,002
the county as mario said that 211 is as vital as 911.

222
00:48:56,242 --> 00:48:56,242
through this proclamation we ask for the entire county

223
00:49:01,615 --> 00:49:03,217
support it with your permission I would like to read the proclamation.  Whereas, 211, the texas community council of

224
00:49:07,287 --> 00:49:07,287
the valley has made a central contribution to individuals and

225
00:49:13,994 --> 00:49:17,131
counties across the nation to provide information and referrals in there communities and whereas 211, the texas committee county council educates and encourages callers

226
00:49:25,972 --> 00:49:28,976
to dial the three digit number as an essential aspect of enabling and enhancing their education, health and quality of life and whereas 211 texas/the community council of

227
00:49:33,013 --> 00:49:33,013
the valley promotes committee wide education and referrals

228
00:49:43,724 --> 00:49:46,994
throughout our cities, suburbs, colonialist, rural areas and whereas 211 texas committee counsel is celebrating 25 years of information and referrals, advocacy, follow-ups and

229
00:49:52,900 --> 00:49:55,168
providing proven results for americans now therefore be it proclaimed that the hidalgo county commissioners court does

230
00:49:57,004 --> 00:49:57,004
hereby proclaim the month of november 16, 2022 as 211 texas

231
00:50:04,511 --> 00:50:07,515
community council of the valley information and referral day in recognition of their hard work in all area centers.  Approved

232
00:50:16,257 --> 00:50:17,391
this 15th day of november, 2022. >>  a make a motion.  > second.

233
00:50:21,028 --> 00:50:21,028
>> judge:  all in favor say aye, the motion

234
00:50:25,432 --> 00:50:25,432
carries.[applause] >>  judge quickly I want to do

235
00:51:30,399 --> 00:51:30,399
point out that 211 in the rio grande valley was started by

236
00:51:34,869 --> 00:51:34,869
the united way of south texas. Lily could not be here today

237
00:51:39,408 --> 00:51:39,408
but certainly wanted to express her good wishes on the

238
00:51:49,551 --> 00:51:52,654
anniversary.  It was started as a project of the united way of south texas.  We are very grateful for united way and their leadership in all of this.  Judge, with your

239
00:51:57,292 --> 00:52:00,895
permission may I proceed with my agenda item so I may be dismissed?  >  we have an open forum.  If you wait until epicafter the form I would be happy to accommodate pier the

240
00:52:07,770 --> 00:52:09,939
next item is open forum. >>  thank you judge.  I would like to remind the public that they are always welcome to

241
00:52:12,374 --> 00:52:12,374
produce a pay in public forum. It does not allow attacks on

242
00:52:23,185 --> 00:52:25,555
individuals.  It cannot be threatening in nature. >>  do I translate that? >>.

243
00:52:48,411 --> 00:52:48,411
>>  thank you.  From agnes? Mr. Magnus?

244
00:52:55,984 --> 00:52:58,187
>>  yes first we have mr. Chavez. >>  please be advised that there is a three minute time

245
00:53:03,125 --> 00:53:06,262
limit.  I will let you know when it's one minute.  You can begin sir. >>  my name is lupe chavez.  I

246
00:53:11,266 --> 00:53:11,266
am a 9/11 survivor and proud son of a world war ii veteran.

247
00:53:16,805 --> 00:53:20,442
if I'm not mistaken, the county court just approved renaming a memorial park which is a memorial to all the veterans to

248
00:53:24,549 --> 00:53:24,549
one person.  I don't think my father or veterans would

249
00:53:28,551 --> 00:53:28,551
approve of that.  Secondly, I inhere because of these items

250
00:53:34,624 --> 00:53:34,624
on domestic violence.  I had a friend in san alamo her name is

251
00:53:45,001 --> 00:53:47,003
melinda garza, may she rest in peace.  I have been asked politically the establishment and I was convicted of a crime

252
00:53:50,240 --> 00:53:50,240
a nonviolent crime for evading arrest in a vehicle because the

253
00:53:56,279 --> 00:53:57,814
pd was harassing meet when someone was a commissioner and their brother had a lot of schoolboard people.  At any

254
00:54:00,417 --> 00:54:00,417
rate I had to go to every probation meeting, I had to pay

255
00:54:08,091 --> 00:54:09,993
every fine.  It was even to the point where I had fallen behind in my family was celebrating my son's birthday party at peter

256
00:54:12,596 --> 00:54:16,366
piper and who should be there but I probation officer looking at me.  Spending money on a party for my son and giving me

257
00:54:20,771 --> 00:54:20,771
the eyes like okay, the next time you come you better pay

258
00:54:28,077 --> 00:54:28,077
the fine.  My friend melinda garza was dating a man the name

259
00:54:32,516 --> 00:54:34,351
of matt garza.  He has a long criminal history and part of that history was domestic violence.  He never went to his

260
00:54:38,188 --> 00:54:41,324
meetings, he never paid his fines.  Because of that, he was free to murder my friend melinda garza.  She is not the

261
00:54:45,028 --> 00:54:45,028
only friend of mine who has been murdered by domestic

262
00:54:49,098 --> 00:54:49,098
violence.  Now, additionally, I heard all these wonderful

263
00:54:56,373 --> 00:54:56,373
comments about hospice care and I am sorry, mr. Torres to hear

264
00:55:06,483 --> 00:55:09,953
about your family suffering. There is a world war ii family the nel family and they suffer because of the palazzo family and comfort house and this patterson and her accomplices

265
00:55:11,121 --> 00:55:14,024
were able to smother him to death.  If I am not mistaken, I don't see her anymore but one of the 13th court of appeals

266
00:55:20,297 --> 00:55:23,333
judges and a county judge intervened on criminal matter involving funds.  I know we all talk about this red wave.  I'm

267
00:55:30,141 --> 00:55:30,141
never good about mixing primary colors but if you mix red and

268
00:55:35,312 --> 00:55:37,748
blue do you know what you get? You get elected officials from hidalgo county who are really democrats in name only.  Thank

269
00:55:40,984 --> 00:55:40,984
you for your time. >>  thank you sir.  Mr. Magnus?

270
00:55:46,423 --> 00:55:46,423
>>  next we have miss mclarty. >>  miss mclarty there is a

271
00:55:54,731 --> 00:55:57,234
three minute time limit I will advise when there is one minute and I will start when you start. >>  commissioner, I am sorry about your mom I know what it

272
00:56:06,076 --> 00:56:09,779
feels like and it is very painful.  Commissioners, I am sure that when each of you decide to run for office it was with the intent of improving the lives of the people and

273
00:56:11,582 --> 00:56:11,582
families here in hidalgo county.  Judge, I remember

274
00:56:19,991 --> 00:56:21,225
meeting with you and finding out that addressing poverty was your primary object of.  Soon, thereafter, he wrote an article

275
00:56:26,864 --> 00:56:26,864
in the monitor indicating the improvement of conditions of

276
00:56:30,969 --> 00:56:34,539
poverty was central to the future of this county.  Each of you have similar aspirations. What happened to those people?

277
00:56:38,376 --> 00:56:38,376
what could it be that you forgot after you were elected?

278
00:56:45,015 --> 00:56:45,015
because at each meeting it is a constant spin, spin, spin.  The

279
00:56:51,655 --> 00:56:54,459
fact that I heard today and I'm stating it the percent of the population who live here in hidalgo county are in poverty.

280
00:56:58,596 --> 00:56:58,596
that does not seem to be as important as when your

281
00:57:03,001 --> 00:57:03,001
elections when you first came to office.  How is spending

282
00:57:07,872 --> 00:57:07,872
usd420 million in bonds for buildings and how is that going

283
00:57:13,845 --> 00:57:13,845
