176 00:19:08,600 --> 00:19:17,240 data um every well the data is always four 177 00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:24,080 days old they update it daily and so the the data is always 4 days out so if we 178 00:19:22,559 --> 00:19:28,799 want a business and that's not as critical as 179 00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:37,240 the four days is like an event say we do do U when we do the uh K hunto Festival 180 00:19:32,919 --> 00:19:42,840 we want to see how that impacted Los Fresnos we can get that 181 00:19:40,600 --> 00:19:47,280 data after 4 days so if we had it this past weekend 182 00:19:46,120 --> 00:19:53,799 Friday and Saturday by Wednesday we can get on 183 00:19:49,960 --> 00:19:58,919 there and we can pull data to say a better idea how many people came who 184 00:19:56,200 --> 00:20:04,400 came and where they're from and all of the same data that I've showed you 185 00:20:00,760 --> 00:20:10,880 before uh a lot of it comes from cell phone um we can do it for Rodeo we can 186 00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:15,320 do it for even like our uh Independence Day celebration that was last week we 187 00:20:13,720 --> 00:20:20,600 could you know look at that and see who's 188 00:20:16,760 --> 00:20:26,760 coming it'll help us then decide hey who who are we missing can we maybe look 189 00:20:24,320 --> 00:20:32,520 look at other places that's just on the events that we've never had before for 190 00:20:29,039 --> 00:20:37,400 the businesses as we're got businesses come in uh Desi's always saying hey I 191 00:20:35,360 --> 00:20:43,080 need something for a restaurant and it's hard to get that information 192 00:20:40,159 --> 00:20:50,039 well we can be users on here and it'll pull the data and we actually can do any 193 00:20:46,600 --> 00:20:53,960 any event in Texas uh he had us for we could do any event in the United States 194 00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:58,799 but I don't really care about those we don't 195 00:20:55,520 --> 00:21:06,200 so it was a lot more expensive than than this but uh this brings it down to all 196 00:21:02,960 --> 00:21:11,400 we really care about is Los fres so the there's two different options is we can 197 00:21:09,280 --> 00:21:18,840 start in August and September and then go for for the next year and it's 198 00:21:15,679 --> 00:21:24,679 9333 um or we can do a TW this option two 26 month this August and September 199 00:21:21,320 --> 00:21:31,559 of this year and then the next two years uh they reduce it by $11,000 or so uh if 200 00:21:28,840 --> 00:21:35,640 we do that and we're limited to two named users but that's okay uh we don't 201 00:21:34,080 --> 00:21:43,600 need a bunch of users there's not a bunch of us anyway um that wears those 202 00:21:38,360 --> 00:21:48,840 hats and um it'll be a great tool for uh Economic Development and attracting new 203 00:21:46,200 --> 00:21:54,799 businesses to come and Los fros so we're almost getting real time 204 00:21:52,360 --> 00:22:01,000 reports pretty close to real as real time as you can get 205 00:21:57,360 --> 00:22:06,480 it no which one do you recommend Mr M the two-year or the I recommend option 206 00:22:03,799 --> 00:22:12,760 two just cuz I think it's I've looked at the data um they actually did the rodeo 207 00:22:09,880 --> 00:22:20,679 this past year for us uh and he he pulled it back to I think you can go to 208 00:22:16,559 --> 00:22:24,480 2017 and it was way more people than we've ever 209 00:22:21,799 --> 00:22:29,240 dreamed uh they're looking we always said 20 to 25,000 but their their data 210 00:22:28,120 --> 00:22:34,039 shows 35 to 211 00:22:30,559 --> 00:22:41,520 40,000 which is considerable amount more than what we ever thought um over that 212 00:22:36,960 --> 00:22:45,760 three-day weekend um anyway he did that as a 213 00:22:42,600 --> 00:22:51,159 demonstration uh and it's it's really really good 214 00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:53,679 data thank you Mr Milo any questions comments 215 00:22:56,760 --> 00:23:05,320 discussion loud and that information would be used in in case like our rodeo 216 00:23:02,880 --> 00:23:10,720 we call it the smallest Rodeo but you know by the Numbers it's it's not 217 00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:16,600 getting real it's not small at all to expand maybe more maybe expand but it it 218 00:23:14,159 --> 00:23:22,640 helps sponsorship it helps you decide hey are we getting our value for our 219 00:23:19,240 --> 00:23:29,120 money the CDC board gives a considerable amount of money uh are we getting money 220 00:23:25,600 --> 00:23:34,840 and value for that uh so that's what this board can use it for um as well as 221 00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:40,240 other events hey we're not doing well in that event why are we not can we do 222 00:23:37,400 --> 00:23:47,520 something better and so as you fund those we can utilize that as a tool to 223 00:23:43,120 --> 00:23:51,919 help we can also share it with those organizations so that they can utilize 224 00:23:50,080 --> 00:23:59,240 it for better sponsorship or modify what they're 225 00:23:55,840 --> 00:24:05,520 doing that's for the events part of it the business part of it is if we you 226 00:24:02,200 --> 00:24:11,440 know I think we need a rental place here that that rents all kinds of uh 227 00:24:08,919 --> 00:24:15,279 stuff I need a shovel today I don't want a shovel I don't want to own a shovel 228 00:24:13,080 --> 00:24:19,240 but I need one today I can go rent one for today that's 229 00:24:17,720 --> 00:24:23,480 example and but you know mostly it's bigger 230 00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:28,960 equipment to that but I would love for us to have a rental place but I don't 231 00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:35,000 have data to go to them and say look this is what Los France can offer in 232 00:24:32,039 --> 00:24:40,760 people numbers of people and their uh economic uh backgrounds and uh all of 233 00:24:38,799 --> 00:24:45,520 the data that those people need to decide whether Los fness is a good place 234 00:24:43,279 --> 00:24:52,120 or not so that's why we'll use it for the business piece of it to attract more 235 00:24:49,840 --> 00:24:58,520 businesses way we had to do it before if you'll recall is I mean I know one of 236 00:24:54,880 --> 00:25:04,559 them was 30 grand for retail coach to come and do this and they gave us a it's 237 00:25:01,200 --> 00:25:09,960 like a a sorage board of things and we can give it but then after 238 00:25:07,240 --> 00:25:15,640 about 6 8 n 10 months or a year it's out of date and so we need to update that 239 00:25:13,799 --> 00:25:23,279 again and then it costs more money to do that and this we can do it real 240 00:25:19,279 --> 00:25:28,640 time I have a question a deszy calls it Highway 241 00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:34,880 100,000 uh not Highway 100 uh is there any way to tie in maybe through text Dot 242 00:25:31,679 --> 00:25:38,320 the the traffic volume through this road during those 243 00:25:36,200 --> 00:25:45,399 events I don't know just a just a thought okay but it 244 00:25:42,159 --> 00:25:50,080 seems to uh people who are also looking the people that are wanting to sell and 245 00:25:47,640 --> 00:25:55,640 utilize this report for business purposes will also want to see who who 246 00:25:53,640 --> 00:26:02,440 how many people are getting exposed to my advertising let's say so 247 00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:08,679 maybe we can dig that up Mark I had a question I think I heard 248 00:26:05,120 --> 00:26:14,640 you say a one-time report from that retail coach was 249 00:26:11,799 --> 00:26:19,799 30,000 that was sorry that was the initial one that we did four or five 250 00:26:17,240 --> 00:26:24,880 years ago and then we waited like two years two and a half years and then we 251 00:26:21,679 --> 00:26:28,440 updated and I can't remember the price but it was around 252 00:26:29,240 --> 00:26:35,720 $3,000 is what I remember so at any time we can say hey we want it updated and 253 00:26:34,240 --> 00:26:44,120 it's going to cost us twice as much as one of these would 254 00:26:39,799 --> 00:26:44,120 yeah it looks a lot more economical 255 00:26:46,760 --> 00:26:55,919 correct any questions comments discussions Mr M um will Desi have 256 00:26:54,000 --> 00:27:00,000 access will he be one of the ones to have access to to the system 257 00:27:00,679 -->

00:27:50,600 $16,669.24 264 00:27:59,600 --> 00:28:06,440 we have a motion and a second to approve an agreement with Placer for an uh for 265 00:28:04,600 --> 00:28:10,200 analytics for events and business development in the amount of option two 266 00:28:09,399 --> 00:28:16,360 $1 16,1 267 00:28:12,360 --> 00:28:21,519 166 um as recommended by Mr milm any questions comments 268 00:28:19,440 --> 00:28:27,480 discussion that being the case all in favor say I I eyes have it it's 269 00:28:24,440 --> 00:28:32,919 unanimous item d8 consideration and action to develop a project for 270 00:28:29,399 --> 00:28:39,559 financing Street repairs benefiting the business areas Mr mil Mr chairman 271 00:28:36,360 --> 00:28:46,000 members of the board um I'm working on a I say a a large project uh to the tune 272 00:28:42,960 --> 00:28:52,240 of about six and a half million dollar uh to 273 00:28:46,880 --> 00:29:00,039 do um quite a few upgrades um some of them affect the business 274 00:28:55,840 --> 00:29:00,039 community and uh 275 00:29:00,440 --> 00:29:13,440 um will'll Finance it over about 15 years 10 years um and the cdc's portion 276 00:29:09,480 --> 00:29:13,440 would be a total of about 277 00:29:14,279 --> 00:29:22,679 $525,000 and we 278 00:29:18,159 --> 00:29:29,080 would we would do 150,000 a year in the payment and what it 279 00:29:26,200 --> 00:29:33,640 would if if you got in your mind uh Alamo 280 00:29:30,240 --> 00:29:38,640 Street uh well first let's start off the one by the 281 00:29:34,880 --> 00:29:47,519 bank um that's the only one way street in town um it's need repair and then if 282 00:29:43,600 --> 00:29:53,640 you'll start at 100 and go uh behind the city hall on Alamo to third to second to 283 00:29:50,760 --> 00:30:01,039 first which connects back to the bank back to those that those two business um 284 00:29:59,080 --> 00:30:05,559 complexes that I think it's 285 00:30:03,279 --> 00:30:10,240 a I don't know all the different businesses across the street from 286 00:30:06,760 --> 00:30:15,519 Hector's shop but it's got It's got got several businesses there so it'll 287 00:30:12,279 --> 00:30:22,720 connect those with Paving uh on those it'll also handle uh there by um Wing 288 00:30:19,399 --> 00:30:29,440 Stop you ever seen that the the curb on the opposite side is just I think it's 289 00:30:26,919 --> 00:30:36,600 rolled over back Wards um and that's ebano Street Ocean um but it's a total 290 00:30:32,760 --> 00:30:42,519 of seven blocks is what we would the CDC portion would be 291 00:30:39,799 --> 00:30:48,320 um and it would be financed in the next four years 150,000 a year so what we 292 00:30:45,399 --> 00:30:54,120 would do just set that up as part of a payment that goes for four years and 293 00:30:51,320 --> 00:31:01,360 then it goes away uh the other agreements that you you uh are part of I 294 00:30:57,559 --> 00:31:08,519 think the utility ones um I think they're this is the last year 295 00:31:04,279 --> 00:31:14,080 or maybe one more year um and then the the initial one that you did with the 296 00:31:10,679 --> 00:31:20,559 help of uh alleys is two more years of 20,000 and that's gone paid off uh the 297 00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:26,720 other just so you'll have a idea on the other that we're looking at is uh our 298 00:31:23,840 --> 00:31:35,960 tax in increment reinvestment Zone number one uh which we developed uh 299 00:31:30,480 --> 00:31:45,000 prior to Walmart coming in and it it has about depending on when when we meet the 300 00:31:40,519 --> 00:31:51,720 the cap uh about 3 million over the next six years to spend maybe close to 4 301 00:31:48,600 --> 00:31:58,639 million so we want to set aside 2.2 right now to help pave Canal 302 00:31:55,480 --> 00:32:06,039 Street uh from oroyal all the way to Lopez rins and then mosquite from Lopez 303 00:32:01,600 --> 00:32:11,639 rins back to 100 uh if you've ever been especially on Canal it's a uh it has to 304 00:32:10,240 --> 00:32:17,120 be we have to do that in conjunction with some sewer work to to fix some 305 00:32:14,080 --> 00:32:27,919 sewer lines uh upgrade them but we can do that uh so that would be for the turs 306 00:32:21,360 --> 00:32:35,279 to to to do uh the other one is uh redo to Henderson Road um the community there 307 00:32:32,080 --> 00:32:42,080 doesn't want it expanded really to a a big road because then it'll 308 00:32:37,960 --> 00:32:46,440 attract more more people but it's getting bad and so we would like to 309 00:32:44,279 --> 00:32:51,240 upgrade it and then maybe add you know if we could add a foot or two uh without 310 00:32:48,960 --> 00:32:56,279 having to change the bar ditches and all that we would like to do that uh in tune 311 00:32:53,679 --> 00:33:01,519 of about 2.2 million those those two projects and then the city um the rest 312 00:33:00,120 --> 00:33:06,360 would be about 3,725 th000 uh two of them that would be 313 00:33:05,159 --> 00:33:13,320 uh really it it can't be funded by the CDC 314 00:33:09,840 --> 00:33:19,200 but yet would be beneficial because it's residential uh improvements Fifth Street 315 00:33:16,360 --> 00:33:24,600 if you've ever paid attention fifth Street's never been done this by this 316 00:33:22,120 --> 00:33:30,600 last block uh behind um 317 00:33:28,600 --> 00:33:36,039 what's there now where the animal clinic used to be wet paws is that next street 318 00:33:33,559 --> 00:33:39,480 over has never been developed there's people that own those lots and we say 319 00:33:38,200 --> 00:33:45,639 well we you get all the people together and 320 00:33:42,519 --> 00:33:52,760 upgrade the sewer the water and in the streets and we'll put it you that's very 321 00:33:49,159 --> 00:33:59,840 hard to make happen so uh we've actually on another Grant done the sewer part but 322 00:33:56,200 --> 00:34:04,960 we need the street and we need water uh and then on Fifth uh Fifth Street I'm 323 00:34:02,399 --> 00:34:14,079 sorry that's Fifth Street First Street behind if you go past 324 00:34:08,520 --> 00:34:20,079 uh um Wing Stop and that whole area there uh there's two blocks at First 325 00:34:16,399 --> 00:34:25,560 Street hasn't been developed past where the apartments are and then past where 326 00:34:22,879 --> 00:34:32,240 um um Sierra RV Park is and so we would 327 00:34:29,720 --> 00:34:37,919 extend that street two blocks with water and sewer the city would do that part 328 00:34:34,800 --> 00:34:46,119 but what that helps CDC is it you know it opens up about you know 40 homes that 329 00:34:41,760 --> 00:34:46,119 can be built maybe 35 330 00:34:46,159 --> 00:34:56,000 uh plus or minus um to be homes that are now shopping at 331 00:34:53,839 --> 00:35:04,359 all these businesses and then there's a bunch of other streets that we would UPG 332 00:34:57,720 --> 00:35:12,680 gr and and U um repay so that's the plan and my a question to you is would you be 333 00:35:09,200 --> 00:35:19,800 willing to the CDC to participate in that and I'll be honest 334 00:35:15,720 --> 00:35:26,480 what what what it helps uh the city has about three loans that'll be coming due 335 00:35:22,680 --> 00:35:31,280 over the next three years and so we don't want to take any 336 00:35:28,599 --> 00:35:36,599 capacity current until those start being paid 337 00:35:34,079 --> 00:35:43,760 down so we'll take the money from the CDC and the turs and use those payments 338 00:35:39,880 --> 00:35:49,160 in the first four years and then the city will be the heavy the the turs will 339 00:35:46,440 --> 00:35:55,000 be paid off the CDC will be paid off in four years and then the balance the CD 340 00:35:51,800 --> 00:36:02,680 the city pays and it won't increase our debt um over year to year does that make 341 00:35:59,200 --> 00:36:07,720 sense we'll be able to even out our debt uh where we don't have to raise taxes 342 00:36:04,640 --> 00:36:07,720 and we can get lots 343 00:36:12,880 --> 00:36:21,440 done a lot of details uh but all I see 344 00:36:18,720 --> 00:36:25,000 is this one liner here you're going to prepare more details for that or is this 345 00:36:23,599 --> 00:36:30,040 just a general proposal General proposal uh it'll come 346 00:36:28,000 --> 00:36:35,720 back to you for final approval but I don't want to go for it if if we don't 347 00:36:31,839 --> 00:36:41,240 have Buy in then then then we have to wait four or five years to to do any of 348 00:36:38,960 --> 00:36:46,319 this uh but if we have General buying from this board that says yes we're 349 00:36:43,640 --> 00:36:49,920 interested we'll we'll go forward and and see what that looks like well it 350 00:36:48,760 --> 00:36:55,920 won't look any different than that 150,000 for for four 351 00:36:52,720 --> 00:37:00,680 years okay I I see it as a a dual purpose because we're not only helping 352 00:36:58,079 --> 00:37:06,119 the business Community we're helping our community as far as homes and and 353 00:37:03,520 --> 00:37:11,480 streets and and um they they're getting much better uh and I think we're we're 354 00:37:09,000 --> 00:37:17,319 going down the right Road and I I I would like to see you put something more 355 00:37:13,440 --> 00:37:23,440 uh more um detail together and I I for one am all for 356 00:37:20,040 --> 00:37:28,920 it I I believe and I'm I'm second with Mr ju is that if we want to improve the 357 00:37:26,200 --> 00:37:35,040 living conditions of our our citizens and you know our motto is to uh Los F of 358 00:37:32,440 --> 00:37:41,119 city with opportunity uh we we need to do that in order to uh provide people 359 00:37:37,960 --> 00:37:45,599 and have people move in and and and see what we've done to attract these people 360 00:37:43,640 --> 00:37:51,599 and the businesses also because I know that we're getting a lot of business 361 00:37:46,800 --> 00:37:55,520 come in and we just have to continue doing what we plan to do and approve 362 00:37:54,200 --> 00:38:01,880 what we plan to do when you put something together Mr 363 00:37:58,200 --> 00:38:06,040 milm can you also mention on there um the um the sewer improvements not 364 00:38:04,599 --> 00:38:11,280 necessarily because we're going to pay for them but just to to show that we're 365 00:38:08,440 --> 00:38:16,880 not only you know redoing the street we're actually redoing the whole service 366 00:38:14,440 --> 00:38:22,960 this the street and the sewer and water if that's the 367 00:38:20,520 --> 00:38:31,520 case that'll be the portions that the city's funding um but I wanted you to 368 00:38:26,880 --> 00:38:35,680 see the whole big picture it's uh if if we were just doing the CDC streets I 369 00:38:33,599 --> 00:38:41,200 could go out and borrow you know we could do the the borrow it over four 370 00:38:38,000 --> 00:38:48,680 years and be done but I wanted you to see the big picture of the what the six 371 00:38:43,319 --> 00:38:48,680 and half million dollar would do uh 372 00:38:48,760 --> 00:38:59,680 Citywide good there's no action on this item is there yes there is 373 00:38:55,240 --> 00:39:06,480 action that you and my action is you agree with the concept and then we bring 374 00:39:02,240 --> 00:39:12,400 it back for for final approval as we get it put 375

all the way up to lais Etc to our rural 420 00:43:37,520 --> 00:43:45,720 communities so uh I just wanted you to keep informed 421 00:43:42,359 --> 00:43:53,079 that how important R&D not only in Mr Milam's office we just presented which 422 00:43:47,880 --> 00:43:59,000 is is very very fruitful and uh but also and the CDC and working on day-to-day 423 00:43:56,440 --> 00:44:04,839 items that need to create more opportunities for our 424 00:44:01,319 --> 00:44:11,520 community as we grow and we are growing but we are have those challenges of 425 00:44:08,800 --> 00:44:17,240 sites so this the combination of what you just approved and the combination of 426 00:44:14,680 --> 00:44:22,800 us moving forward and having others help us to get open more doors to our 427 00:44:19,960 --> 00:44:29,400 business Community uh longan guarantees uh solar panel projects Etc 428 00:44:26,559 --> 00:44:35,280 grants to the rodal grounds if they need bathrooms etc etc right now they're 429 00:44:32,960 --> 00:44:42,119 ineligible under USDA there's another uh we another area 430 00:44:39,720 --> 00:44:47,000 that we submitted to a business and Cooperative program exemption for one 431 00:44:44,839 --> 00:44:51,880 site there's and it's a little complicated and you'll see it when we 432 00:44:48,640 --> 00:44:56,720 submit it to you by email that right now the only way that this area for example 433 00:44:54,200 --> 00:45:02,280 this area you're stand you're meeting in is not eligible for USDA programs but 434 00:45:00,079 --> 00:45:09,880 across the street it is that census track or that block this block Isn't So 435 00:45:06,720 --> 00:45:17,000 this program under Section USDA section 436 00:45:12,720 --> 00:45:24,520 343a uh 13 will allow for potential new business site in this area to qualify 437 00:45:21,000 --> 00:45:29,800 because of a string exemption in other words please ask ask permission from 438 00:45:27,160 --> 00:45:36,520 USDA if this side on this side of the road can qualify for a a long guarantee 439 00:45:33,520 --> 00:45:42,040 or bathrooms grants at the road grounds because we're not on that side of the 440 00:45:38,880 --> 00:45:46,800 road and that is eligible so there's a lot of detail you'll see it when you get 441 00:45:43,920 --> 00:45:52,280 in the email but we want you to know that it's it's it's a 442 00:45:48,640 --> 00:45:57,839 moving activities that we have both in uh the CDC office and working jointly 443 00:45:55,480 --> 00:46:06,800 with the with the city man and of course our our our chamber because their 444 00:46:02,319 --> 00:46:12,480 position also helps to work you know contact the Senators and legislator says 445 00:46:09,400 --> 00:46:19,240 Hey help us out that's what you that's what you're supposed to do for us anyway 446 00:46:15,359 --> 00:46:22,800 U the other thing we have a started an elderly program and you can read there 447 00:46:21,880 --> 00:46:29,559 that the interns uh have done a mail out with one 448 00:46:25,960 --> 00:46:36,640 of our local employers that helps that has a a customer base of Elders in 449 00:46:34,400 --> 00:46:40,800 Medicare and we've gotten three applications there are challenges and 450 00:46:38,720 --> 00:46:47,480 I'm finding out and having been a builder and uh and know you know both 451 00:46:43,760 --> 00:46:53,400 residential commercial and Industrial uh understand the the detail one of the 452 00:46:50,520 --> 00:46:58,000 challenges I'll let you know is that when 453 00:46:55,319 --> 00:47:03,359 you mobile home hes are eligible if the prop the property owner 454 00:47:01,359 --> 00:47:09,240 owns a property and the mobile home the Elder 60 and older uh single family 455 00:47:07,040 --> 00:47:14,760 homes if you own the lot and the property and you're 62 and Low Mother 456 00:47:11,760 --> 00:47:19,839 income one of the challenges is they don't know how to describe their their 457 00:47:17,319 --> 00:47:24,440 their needs so in other words describe their repairs so I've been helping out 458 00:47:22,400 --> 00:47:31,920 because I know how to do descriptive work of a bathroom or or a ramp and 459 00:47:29,160 --> 00:47:37,200 detailing it out as they detail here for the applications for the grants they 460 00:47:34,400 --> 00:47:43,079 have to give you detail and quotes the other challenge is getting quotes for 461 00:47:40,520 --> 00:47:49,079 them out there in the community from contractors usda's position is we don't 462 00:47:46,960 --> 00:47:54,079 give contracts just to the electrician to do this work or the ramp to do that 463 00:47:51,960 --> 00:48:00,079 or the bathroom to do that we want one general contractor to manage everything 464 00:47:57,119 --> 00:48:06,280 out of Edinburgh that's their position I says fine we'll try so I'm trying to 465 00:48:02,880 --> 00:48:13,480 look for contracts in the area that can do and make quotes for those people to 466 00:48:09,920 --> 00:48:18,200 submit their application otherwise the application will be on hold until all 467 00:48:15,920 --> 00:48:22,800 the quotes are in so it's the same process basically that you're we do with 468 00:48:20,520 --> 00:48:27,079 the with our business Community been doing it for 20 some years that's what 469 00:48:25,319 --> 00:48:31,280 they need out there in the elders and most of these elderly are Spanish 470 00:48:28,800 --> 00:48:36,319 speaking so they need the help and they don't know how to do other forms so 471 00:48:33,079 --> 00:48:42,000 we're doing it uh we're starting it we're laying the foundation and we'll 472 00:48:40,079 --> 00:48:46,160 start drawing straight lines and if they're outside of the city limits we're 473 00:48:44,599 --> 00:48:51,680 going to get with the county and say please help our neighbors to help 474 00:48:49,079 --> 00:48:59,000 themselves to get these grants for $110,000 they they should well deserve 475 00:48:55,280 --> 00:49:04,920 and Report recording also my discussion with USDA I asked them how many of these 476 00:49:03,160 --> 00:49:08,760 grants have you done in Cameron County rural 477 00:49:06,920 --> 00:49:20,359 areas they said about 10 how many have you done in 478 00:49:13,240 --> 00:49:24,839 in the and in the RGV 80 I said uh I they didn't have any how many here in 479 00:49:22,200 --> 00:49:30,280 Los virgines area but obviously I know they haven't done any in in Los Virgos 480 00:49:27,680 --> 00:49:37,280 uh except one that we helped with some time ago and I said why don't you have 481 00:49:34,440 --> 00:49:44,440 more participation of the elderly from Regals or it's etj or rural area or 482 00:49:40,839 --> 00:49:49,839 trade area says well they can apply through the 483 00:49:45,960 --> 00:49:54,359 internet most people my age don't have a degree master's degree and and fly not 484 00:49:52,200 --> 00:49:59,000 applications or doing CA estimating or getting contracts or doing quotes so I 485 00:49:57,160 --> 00:50:03,440 told them look we're going to start this this thing and and close the gap and 486 00:50:01,559 --> 00:50:09,040 start getting more people from those F Fred's market area and the county the 487 00:50:06,119 --> 00:50:15,520 the joint venture to expand that so we can have our share of our area Le 6 over 488 00:50:13,400 --> 00:50:21,440 get those $10,000 grants and so that's what I'm doing uh finally um and I want 489 00:50:19,200 --> 00:50:28,640 to think that CH chamber they also putting the word out on this uh the 490 00:50:24,839 --> 00:50:28,640 sponsored promotions activities and 491 00:50:31,400 --> 00:50:39,040 others uh we just continue working with a chamber and and uh they refer a lot of 492 00:50:37,079 --> 00:50:43,960 folks to us there's a couple of business I'm working with with their business 493 00:50:40,520 --> 00:50:48,160 plans and sites and uh and and working with with Jackie's office and all that 494 00:50:45,920 --> 00:50:55,400 on their on their site so they can start up one is very very fulfilling to me 495 00:50:51,960 --> 00:50:59,000 because uh it it they sell regionally they they're they're expand anding the 496 00:50:57,000 --> 00:51:03,680 business starting at the old 10x10 office they're now going and bought the 497 00:51:01,440 --> 00:51:11,520 property they're probably don't qualify we a USDA loan but uh I'm working on it 498 00:51:07,920 --> 00:51:18,119 uh for a loan guarantee but uh they do sell throughout the region 499 00:51:16,160 --> 00:51:23,359 and I I can't expose it right now they're just kicking off but I I'll keep 500 00:51:20,599 --> 00:51:29,000 you in FL the the the real good things that are happening in your town by 501 00:51:26,599 --> 00:51:33,799 people getting empowered by having a One-Stop Center as we have here because 502 00:51:32,119 --> 00:51:39,599 of Y all and I thank you very much if you have any questions any referrals oh 503 00:51:36,559 --> 00:51:47,400 and I also want to do a big shout out to U Chad Benson is and this uh Fellowship 504 00:51:43,920 --> 00:51:53,000 group we had a whole bunch of kids here at the 4th of July also that
