Garden, 2 00:00:11,920 --> 00:00:23,720 » Ellison, Mary, Jessica Fitz, Jody, Sam, >> John, Thor, Matt J, 3 00:00:24,560 --> 00:00:28,199 » Gilbert, Ryan, 4 00:00:28,320 --> 00:00:34,719 we have so we have Jennifer Leaf, Chief Haynes, 5 00:00:32,880 --> 00:00:37,960 Sh and then 6 00:00:38,559 --> 00:00:44,719 » sorry, we're sitting at commission. chambers 7 00:00:42,879 --> 00:00:48,440 apologize in commission. 8 00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:58,160 » So, let's uh let's go right into the community and you're going to kind of 9 00:00:55,680 --> 00:01:01,760 give us a a what's up. >> Yeah. 10 00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:06,320 » Yeah. Sounds good. Um so, hello everybody. Uh thanks for for having me. 11 00:01:04,239 --> 00:01:09,680 You might have heard of community mediation services. Some of you I've 12 00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:15,840 already met with um some of you wouldn't have. Some of you are on my board who 13 00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:19,920 also would have um but I am Mary Maul. I took over just about three months ago. 14 00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:25,759 We're kind of drawn with community mediation and I'm just trying to get 15 00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:31,119 onto out into the community and remind those of us who already know about us um 16 00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:37,040 and let people know if they don't already know um what we do. So, so many 17 00:01:35,439 --> 00:01:45,840 of the situations that come into the local public safety um area 18 00:01:41,759 --> 00:01:51,119 areas that were not original criminal issues. It started out as a dispute or a 19 00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:54,720 conflict that that may have been something that could have been dealt 20 00:01:52,159 --> 00:01:58,719 with in a different way. And maybe even as you get the calls, they actually 21 00:01:56,240 --> 00:02:05,600 aren't they still haven't escalated to any kind of philosophy. And yet you're 22 00:02:01,119 --> 00:02:10,160 getting call again and again of the barking dog or you know the neighbor 23 00:02:07,759 --> 00:02:16,720 whose music is loud at night or whatever it might be. Um something that 24 00:02:14,640 --> 00:02:21,680 isn't a legal issue and shouldn't really be dealt with law enforcement. Um that's 25 00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:28,560 where we come in. So, community mediation services, our role is to step 26 00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:33,760 in uh for those cases that aren't um all cases and help folks have a 27 00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:38,480 conversation if they're willing. So, it's a voluntary service. It's a 28 00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:45,040 confidential service. So, it's it's offering a place for people to come with 29 00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:50,000 their full selves um and have real open honest dialogue with one another. Um so 30 00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:56,560 the way that our that it works is if somebody is interested in mediation you 31 00:02:52,720 --> 00:03:01,920 all could refer refer them to us or um give them our contact information and 32 00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:07,680 then we would call them check and see what's going on. Uh we would need both 33 00:03:04,319 --> 00:03:12,879 parties information. We we have a initial phone call with both parties to 34 00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:19,040 see what's going on to see if this is a mediatable conversation um and to see if 35 00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:25,840 people are willing to come to the table. They are that's great. And we work to 36 00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:28,879 schedule um schedule a meeting and and have help them have a difficult 37 00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:33,920 conversation that they don't feel like they have the tools to deal with on 38 00:03:30,640 --> 00:03:40,799 their own. and it's not really something that requires uh law enforcement or 39 00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:46,159 other systems. Um so we can do family mediation, we do juvenile um 40 00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:50,560 referrals from the juvenile department for restorative dialogues if there 41 00:03:48,239 --> 00:03:53,519 actually has been a harm caused but but the juvenile department believes that it 42 00:03:52,319 --> 00:03:58,720 would be better suited for a conversation. Do that. We can do 43 00:03:55,840 --> 00:04:03,120 neighbor to neighbor. Uh we do landlord tenant. So, we also have a partnership 44 00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:08,560 with the manufactured and Marina home parks. Um, so they they can some cases, 45 00:04:05,439 --> 00:04:14,239 but so can other apartments and really any landlord or tenant feels like they 46 00:04:11,439 --> 00:04:19,359 are struggling to communicate in a way that works um and they would like to be 47 00:04:17,280 --> 00:04:23,680 able to communicate. So, I mean that can help with eviction avoidance. it if 48 00:04:21,519 --> 00:04:28,960 folks can get on a payment plan if they uh are experiencing a difficulty with 49 00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:33,840 payment and and a conversation will really help them get to a place where 50 00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:40,639 they mutually agree. Um so it really is beneficial to multiple parties and as 51 00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:44,639 mediators we are neutral third parties so so we're not taking any sides. We 52 00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:48,639 just want to make sure that people get to say the things that they need to say 53 00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:54,720 and hear the things that they need to hear. Um, [snorts] so that's my spiel, 54 00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:59,840 which I know I have 20 minutes, but I don't like talking 20 minutes, so that's 55 00:04:57,440 --> 00:05:08,080 unnecessary. Nobody nobody wants to hear my voice for that long. But I would love 56 00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:12,320 this to be a conversation um to see how we can get more referrals because we do 57 00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:18,560 currently have a low capacity of referrals, although the warm weather 58 00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:22,720 seems to be bringing out more people and makes sense. Yeah, I think people didn't 59 00:05:21,280 --> 00:05:27,440 see their neighbors and then they progressed to their kids and now they 60 00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:32,160 remember and they're calling. So, so that's great and we have capacity for 61 00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:38,639 more cases. It's great that we're dealing with the conflict, not not that 62 00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:45,360 there is um but we have capacity for more cases. So, I kind of want this to 63 00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:48,960 be a conversation. Um just asking so what kind of repeat calls Oh, you look 64 00:05:47,759 --> 00:05:52,000 » I just have a question. Yeah. >> How are you funded? 65 00:05:49,840 --> 00:05:57,360 » How are we funded? Okay. Um, we get multiple grants. Um, we have state state 66 00:05:54,720 --> 00:06:04,319 grants from Resolutions Oregon, which is our main funer and it's a it's a uh 67 00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:08,080 it goes through the University of Oregon School of Law and it's it's a group of 68 00:06:06,319 --> 00:06:12,880 community dispute resolution centers that all get this pool of money. Um so 69 00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:19,120 we have that we get money from the county. Um we get individual donations. 70 00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:25,120 Uh we get money from the juvenile department on a case by case uh basis. 71 00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:32,639 We also get money from the manufacturer and Maria homeworks to do their 72 00:06:27,039 --> 00:06:37,960 mandatory. Um so and then just uh foundational grants 73 00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:37,960 that 74 00:06:39,919 --> 00:06:47,639 I have a couple questions. So, do you use voluntary groups to still? 75 00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:47,639 » We do. Yes. 76 00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:53,919 » So, currently our pool is low. In addition to trying to get more cases, 77 00:06:51,440 --> 00:07:00,479 I'm also trying to get more uh volunteers. So, we are we are [snorts] 78 00:06:57,120 --> 00:07:08,039 working on that as well. Um right now we have three volunteers and I also 79 00:07:05,039 --> 00:07:08,039 so 80 00:07:09,039 --> 00:07:16,080 » Yes. So they they go through the 40hour basic mediation training that we would 81 00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:19,599 put on as I meet with more people and I'm 82 00:07:17,759 --> 00:07:24,479 trying to also cultivate interest in the training uh so that we can run one of 83 00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:28,880 those and get some. So I heard you say that you can do 84 00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:35,560 neighbor to neighbor mediate those types of disputes pretend. I also heard you 85 00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:35,560 say justice 86 00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:47,440 success stories. >> Um 87 00:07:43,199 --> 00:07:53,759 I mean so recently it's been harder to get the victim to want to participate. 88 00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:59,440 Um so that makes it difficult. we do still have uh that are coming in and 89 00:07:56,479 --> 00:08:02,400 talking to us which is it depends on what you consider a success story. I 90 00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:08,280 mean I I do think there's some accountability in that so it's not 91 00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:08,280 entirely unorthw 92 00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:18,879 that that had a full dialogue because it is voluntary and we're not forcing 93 00:08:17,039 --> 00:08:23,560 people who are harmed to come to the table. They're really important for 94 00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:31,759 I'm biased because I'm on the board, right? So, I got involved when I was 95 00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:36,560 still at the district attorney's office and I actually work called the victim of 96 00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:41,200 vendor reconciliation project. So there's some people that 97 00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:44,320 um but you know I think for for law enforcement really the power is is you 98 00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:48,240 know how many times where you call up the DEA late at night they tell you it's 99 00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:53,176 civil and that those kind of questions for your officers is is there a resource 100 00:08:51,680 --> 00:08:57,120 out there that we want these people [clears throat] to where they're not 101 00:08:54,399 --> 00:09:02,080 calling law enforcement all the time and I know Mary Ken that work closely with 102 00:08:58,959 --> 00:09:05,760 neighbor neighbor Mary County and that's sharing agreements in place there but 103 00:09:04,399 --> 00:09:09,920 you know the one thing I tell people all the time with mediation is one of the 104 00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:15,440 things is sometime you might want to file a civil 105 00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:19,839 at that point and for a lot of the statutes there is a requirement that the 106 00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:24,240 people have engaged in a certain level dialogue in order to break certain 107 00:09:21,519 --> 00:09:28,720 things and so they that neighbor neighbor mediation is one way they can 108 00:09:26,399 --> 00:09:32,880 show that they've engaged in that that's a lot of time my practice as a lawyer 109 00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:38,800 that's what I tell folks is hey it's worse give it give it a shot Um Mary and 110 00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:42,880 her folks are do a great job. Um she's still closer to Ken. So when's he coming 111 00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:46,200 back? April. >> April just 112 00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:53,839 uh and they still do a really robust training. Now it's been 10 years since I 113 00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:58,720 took the train, so maybe I should pressure. 114 00:09:55,760 --> 00:10:04,640 Um but for the juvenile side of things, I have seen both sides as victims to the 115 00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:09,440 the youth, the delinquent youth. I can say it even when it's just the youth 116 00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:15,920 coming and talking with them it makes a big difference and really helps us as 117 00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:21,040 John say rehabilitating the youth so they can actually say oh I can put 118 00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:25,200 myself my I'm done 119 00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:28,800 so and to add to that point I mean that is the conversation that we're having 120 00:10:26,959 --> 00:10:32,399 when the when it is just the youth coming in even if it's not just the 121 00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:37,360 youth even if we get to a dialogue we always have a conversation with respons 122 00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:41,200 responsible use of the offender uh where we talk about so so what actually 123 00:10:39,519 --> 00:10:46,000 happened and what were the impacts of that. So it is really looking on 124 00:10:43,680 --> 00:10:51,440 accountability. So this this thing that you did that's considered a crime how 125 00:10:48,399 --> 00:10:58,240 could it have affected person that was on the other side of it or the victim? 126 00:10:54,480 --> 00:11:03,760 So it really it's focusing more on trying to to help them see uh the 127 00:11:01,519 --> 00:11:09,360 accountability for their actions that has 128 00:11:05,680 --> 00:11:15,200 » so it's three things. >> Yeah. Yeah. for those purposes the 129 00:11:11,839 --> 00:11:19,920 states already grant or through those already paid the services available for 130 00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:24,000 the manufacturing that's those owners have to pay into one of 131 00:11:22,560 --> 00:11:28,399 that and then they're required by statute to engage in that medation 132 00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:32,959 process before they all of our services are free to the 133 00:11:30,399 --> 00:11:38,880 participants except for um parenting plans we can also use plans or create 134 00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:42,560 court parenting plans or renegotiating already existing 135 00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:48,240 plans. Those ones we do charge for. Although it's on a sliding scale, 136 00:11:46,560 --> 00:11:53,600 » but you don't matter. It doesn't matter you how you get a reference, but you 137 00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:56,600 just want more. >> Yes. 138 00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:09,360 » And it's so long that whenever we went to mediation, you came wrong. Well, 139 00:12:04,079 --> 00:12:13,200 nobody was K. So now we've got Mary trying to step in that hole and just get 140 00:12:11,279 --> 00:12:19,720 that communication. Everybody understands who the contact is 141 00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:19,720 called 142 00:12:20,639 --> 00:12:31,440 but all the volunteers were friends and what our volunteers love too. So it's 143 00:12:26,959 --> 00:12:36,079 just a matter of ready to make big and can also remind you that this 144 00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:40,800 service is here and can save you a lot of time officers doing things you don't 145 00:12:38,720 --> 00:12:45,360 need and maybe some space 146 00:12:42,639 --> 00:12:49,200 » you were asking for success story. So with Kim a lot of times they're staffing 147 00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:53,360 to see if we'll take the youth. Sometimes we're not going to take them, 148 00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:58,880 but a lot of times the parents will come and just ask for help and the board that 149 00:12:56,079 --> 00:13:02,880 whatever one I'm on, we'll we will offer here's how to get the help that we see. 150 00:13:01,279 --> 00:13:07,760 And a lot of times the parents are really appreciative of that of um we 151 00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:11,519 understand how to navigate that world in what we do and then the partners as well 152 00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:16,320 sometimes. So I think parents found that really helpful to avoid coming to like 153 00:13:14,079 --> 00:13:20,639 placement with us. I really appreciate speaking on the 154 00:13:18,160 --> 00:13:26,600 agenda. It's really great to meet you. Um I that's how I started career was law 155 00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:26,600 school 156 00:13:26,639 --> 00:13:36,720 a little bit less so um per say but the types of things that 157 00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:40,120 you're doing that's those 158 00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:50,639 you know we would finish up the judges so grateful for the resolution because 159 00:13:48,079 --> 00:13:56,639 it would clear our resources 160 00:13:53,680 --> 00:14:03,800 or you have that trial and everybody especially neighbors 161 00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:03,800 everybody 162 00:14:04,079 --> 00:14:11,839 like and that and I developed I developed a you know one more question 163 00:14:10,160 --> 00:14:16,160 what's required to show up today but not 164 00:14:13,279 --> 00:14:21,040 required to to come here I'm just kind of curious what's the one thing about 165 00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:24,040 your case that you the judge and 166 00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:30,560 made it and to the point where like I won't be a volunteer. I got to the point 167 00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:35,519 where just have to tell the story. It's great. 168 00:14:32,880 --> 00:14:41,440 » I've done a lot of landlord tenant and um in those way back in those days you'd 169 00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:45,600 show up and the judge would assign you know different cases to mediator. this 170 00:14:43,839 --> 00:14:49,920 one. I'm sorry. Like judge is speaking. So 171 00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:56,680 Judge goes, "I'm sorry, Judge." And we will not mediate with 172 00:14:53,199 --> 00:14:56,680 anyway. So 173 00:14:59,760 --> 00:15:05,680 anyway, it's a really incredible service. So well done. It's really nice 174 00:15:03,519 --> 00:15:09,680 to meet you. >> Yes. And and that is part of our role 175 00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:13,760 too is to be the agent of reality. So for those people who don't think that 176 00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:17,360 their case is a shoe in we just say okay so I hear you saying you think you'll 177 00:15:15,279 --> 00:15:21,199 win your case just for understanding all of your 178 00:15:19,279 --> 00:15:26,959 options if you didn't what would that look like and just kind of not forcing 179 00:15:23,839 --> 00:15:31,600 anybody and also and also your option to go to court does not vanish because you 180 00:15:29,120 --> 00:15:37,839 made it so trying to have a conversation 181 00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:42,079 might might be you um so I I brought these fun little referral guides if 182 00:15:40,320 --> 00:15:47,600 folks want those. I also have brochures and business cards and a little um 183 00:15:45,040 --> 00:15:54,000 interest sign up sheet if anybody wants to give their contact. Um, so I don't 184 00:15:51,759 --> 00:16:00,199 I've sat in a place that doesn't suit that, but let's just 185 00:15:57,199 --> 00:16:00,199 say 186 00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:13,199 » so if we were able to plug into a dispatch center like right now for our 187 00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:16,079 barking dogs here, um, it's a limited success, but still I think they've got 188 00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:18,560 cloth because usually >> it's an avenue. 189 00:16:16,959 --> 00:16:22,880 » It's an avenue. Usually the issue is that someone calls they don't know who 190 00:16:20,639 --> 00:16:27,600 the other party is and so it becomes difficult there but I think they got 191 00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:32,480 more phone calls at least generated that way. So I don't know if you have the the 192 00:16:29,279 --> 00:16:36,921 ability if that you put that law enforcement have that as kind of 193 00:16:34,399 --> 00:16:39,680 check boxes when it calls in [clears throat] 194 00:16:38,160 --> 00:16:44,720 complaints those kind of things it automatically call taker knows to say 195 00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:48,160 either go to the website or say hey here's number 196 00:16:46,880 --> 00:16:56,720 doesn't sound like it's going to come out or it's low fence but if you have 197 00:16:51,120 --> 00:17:00,320 that bandwidth you want to see this >> disc having having them. 198 00:16:58,480 --> 00:17:02,399 » Yes, they can do that as an initial referral. So, if someone calls in, 199 00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:07,280 » yes, >> for us, it was parking dog. Parking dog, 200 00:17:04,959 --> 00:17:11,280 hey, talk to your neighbor. Yes. Well, how about neighbor? Would you like to 201 00:17:08,799 --> 00:17:14,880 talk to a mediator? Work that out. For us, we're not, 202 00:17:12,559 --> 00:17:20,160 » right? We all have a little different policies on that, but there's probably 203 00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:25,760 things that to start having to dispatch that call. So, 91 emergency dispatchers 204 00:17:23,919 --> 00:17:29,959 then can have the option. Have you tried? 205 00:17:26,319 --> 00:17:29,959 » Yeah. uhation. 206 00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:36,400 » Yes. No, that's a great great suggestion. Absolutely. 207 00:17:33,280 --> 00:17:40,320 » And they touch every agency. >> Yeah. Absolutely. And and then they 208 00:17:38,080 --> 00:17:45,360 don't just give you our website or phone number. Um everything. 209 00:17:42,960 --> 00:17:49,919 » Yeah. So it's >> the only thing is if they don't know who 210 00:17:47,039 --> 00:17:54,400 their neighbor is, um we would need at the very least an address with and we're 211 00:17:52,320 --> 00:17:58,080 also not gonna go knock on someone's door. Okay. But at least that they have 212 00:17:56,640 --> 00:18:03,120 that they can even have that conversation find out 213 00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:06,240 » who it is or they call you and sometimes if they're that frustrated they're ready 214 00:18:04,720 --> 00:18:08,320 to take the next step and try to figure it 215 00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:13,520 out. >> Yeah, absolutely. And um if they are 216 00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:17,679 frustrated and they they call me because I would be the one answering it 217 00:18:14,880 --> 00:18:24,480 sometimes it helps them diffuse because uh I do have time for 218 00:18:20,960 --> 00:18:29,039 uh listening for and and not to say that you all don't listen but um 219 00:18:26,559 --> 00:18:34,799 » but I think I have the opportunity to to really be more about what's going on and 220 00:18:31,760 --> 00:18:38,720 u and that's that's the whole point and people 221 00:18:36,559 --> 00:18:43,919 just the power of listening deescal escalates things so much. Folks didn't 222 00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:48,720 really want to feel heard. They use a lot of words and really loud words. 223 00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:56,480 I think they use some words. Sometimes they use a 224 00:18:50,400 --> 00:19:01,200 tons of words and we just I'm going to >> stuff that we could do to help you with 225 00:18:58,320 --> 00:19:10,160 the growth on the mediators. a good multi communication or contact with it. 226 00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:15,520 » Um, that's a really good question. Uh, I mean, so, so our training 227 00:19:13,039 --> 00:19:20,640 I I don't want to run a training until I know I have enough people to to 228 00:19:17,520 --> 00:19:24,559 successfully run one. Um, I've been meeting with volunteer organizations and 229 00:19:22,799 --> 00:19:29,840 trying to just kind of cultivate interest that way. And then I was hoping 230 00:19:27,280 --> 00:19:34,160 that with enough interest cultivated that I could then start bringing out the 231 00:19:32,480 --> 00:19:40,559 hey we're going to be running the basic mediation training. Um there's an 232 00:19:36,720 --> 00:19:47,440 expense to it which I think sometimes makes people 233 00:19:43,679 --> 00:19:52,799 » just aside. Yeah, it's $625 including a uh $25 234 00:19:50,640 --> 00:19:58,919 registr non-refundable to registration fee. If people are willing to volunteer 235 00:19:54,720 --> 00:19:58,919 with us, then it becomes $325 236 00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:08,720 nonreundable registration fee. And then if you're Spanish speaking, um it 237 00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:13,440 actually is only $25 because we do want have more. So that that's something. But 238 00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:17,280 it is. >> So if there's people that we know or 239 00:20:16,160 --> 00:20:21,520 have conversations with that are interested in 240 00:20:19,120 --> 00:20:25,280 sort of interest, 241 00:20:22,640 --> 00:20:30,559 » you could have them contact me. Yeah. As I as I really don't want to run a basic 242 00:20:28,159 --> 00:20:36,640 mediation training and have it not not go 243 00:20:33,360 --> 00:20:42,400 » at home. That would be great. And that will give me more of an idea of when to 244 00:20:39,120 --> 00:20:47,520 to do the training as I have. people just 245 00:20:44,799 --> 00:20:53,840 thank you Ryan. It is a great I mean I think like you know retirees or you know 246 00:20:50,080 --> 00:21:00,000 retired people who can get to that place where they're pretty chill they can also 247 00:20:57,280 --> 00:21:05,679 be good listeners and you know get something but then agent 248 00:21:03,679 --> 00:21:11,360 » yeah and it is community mediation services so we want it to be largely 249 00:21:07,919 --> 00:21:15,840 voluntary at this point I'm I will be in the mediation every time which I love 250 00:21:13,760 --> 00:21:21,159 mediation so that's not really a problem and also community mediation services. 251 00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:29,520 » Appreciate skip real quick. Uh I also need to 252 00:21:28,880 --> 00:21:36,559 leave. So >> yeah. No, that's very kind. Um so 253 00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:39,840 updates from Liberty House. We are we scrapped I don't know if you heard we 254 00:21:37,919 --> 00:21:43,039 scrapped our screen and function because that thing was costing us like 255 00:21:41,120 --> 00:21:46,400 $45$50,000 to be like you know. So we're like, 256 00:21:45,360 --> 00:21:50,320 "Okay, we're done with that." And instead, we're doing a series of 257 00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:54,559 community based meetings and we have one out in Dallas earlier. Um it was the end 258 00:21:52,880 --> 00:21:58,400 of March and right after spring break and it was really magical, really 259 00:21:56,159 --> 00:22:03,360 amazing. So we're really just excited about that model. How can we be in 260 00:22:00,640 --> 00:22:08,080 better relationship with each other, not giving us heavy hand fundraising, I do 261 00:22:05,919 --> 00:22:14,799 you'll see us post social media. So, I'd like to um our insurance billings are 262 00:22:10,880 --> 00:22:18,640 down uh because insurance companies do what they want, they pay what they want, 263 00:22:16,240 --> 00:22:22,320 and so that's fun. But overall, we've had nine months of operating our budget 264 00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:29,200 for black after doing some recessing last summer. Um our services to PK 265 00:22:25,520 --> 00:22:35,760 County is up 6%. So, really are seeing we saw 6% more kids from refer from P 266 00:22:31,840 --> 00:22:38,799 County this year or in 2025 and so I feel really good about that. So just 267 00:22:37,360 --> 00:22:45,679 want to continue to be a good resource for you and yeah thanks for give an 268 00:22:43,039 --> 00:22:51,679 update our team members are involved with the service integration teams 269 00:22:49,039 --> 00:22:54,679 we also just 270 00:23:01,360 --> 00:23:07,640 got the minutes from February 2026 So 271 00:23:09,520 --> 00:23:12,520 here 272 00:23:13,679 --> 00:23:20,720 all those well is there any other discussion? 273 00:23:17,919 --> 00:23:26,799 Okay. >> All those in favor signify by saying I. 274 00:23:23,520 --> 00:23:33,919 Any oppose? Perfect. Uh let's start courts. 275 00:23:29,600 --> 00:23:39,200 Uh sorry. So we have [clears throat] We've been working with the county and 276 00:23:35,600 --> 00:23:45,919 other uh involved folks to bring in port security process. It's going to go live 277 00:23:42,559 --> 00:23:50,080 June 1st. Um we got one time funding from the legislature. So this is going 278 00:23:48,080 --> 00:23:55,679 to start June 1st and it's going to run through end of next June. And we're 279 00:23:52,880 --> 00:24:01,360 hoping very much through this process we can show the legislature and whoever 280 00:23:58,320 --> 00:24:07,039 else locally to see if we can make this more of a permanentfunded project. Uh 281 00:24:04,720 --> 00:24:12,159 obviously the security around the courthouse and safety has been for a 282 00:24:09,440 --> 00:24:17,279 long time as far as the chief justice and the statewide voice system. We have 283 00:24:15,120 --> 00:24:22,000 made that one of the top priorities going forward. It was last year and it's 284 00:24:19,600 --> 00:24:26,960 going to be for some time to come. Uh we're very fortunate, I believe, that we 285 00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:32,880 are the only jurisdiction in the state who's got funding out of this. Uh was 286 00:24:29,600 --> 00:24:38,320 granted $2 million for various equipment purchases throughout the state and for 287 00:24:35,360 --> 00:24:43,840 this public project. So contracts been signed going back at this point. Uh 288 00:24:41,840 --> 00:24:47,840 equipment has been ordered. I think it's scheduled to be delivered in a couple of 289 00:24:45,760 --> 00:24:51,440 weeks. the courthouse, the X-ray machines better, 290 00:24:50,159 --> 00:24:56,960 and then we're working with the sheriff's office and the count books to 291 00:24:54,000 --> 00:25:01,760 get it installed. Uh, free basically is the same entrance that we all use 292 00:24:59,039 --> 00:25:07,279 currently on the Jefferson Street side and equipment will be stationed there 293 00:25:03,840 --> 00:25:11,760 manned by two security officers. And uh, as more information becomes 294 00:25:09,760 --> 00:25:16,799 available, I will share with everybody in this room as well as those folks who 295 00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:22,559 are on the screen. That's one. Any questions on this? 296 00:25:20,320 --> 00:25:27,919 » It is private security. >> Right. Right. It's a security uh company 297 00:25:24,720 --> 00:25:34,320 called DPI. They already have contracts with a number of other state agencies 298 00:25:30,080 --> 00:25:37,320 including uh OJ in capital. >> Yeah. 299 00:25:40,080 --> 00:25:46,799 » Okay. The next item that I want to share is that if you would please pencil it 300 00:25:44,159 --> 00:25:51,760 and your calendar, chief justice and the state court administrator will be 301 00:25:48,480 --> 00:25:58,000 visiting our county, our court July 22nd. I am working on a program and I'm 302 00:25:56,000 --> 00:26:03,919 hoping to be able to invite everybody that's in this room and that's purpose 303 00:26:01,039 --> 00:26:11,200 of the uh visit is for chiefs to get to understand the local needs as well as 304 00:26:07,919 --> 00:26:18,400 issues and have dialogue with the various agency heads 305 00:26:13,919 --> 00:26:23,279 um justice partners um with our staff and so if you have any particular 306 00:26:21,039 --> 00:26:28,559 thoughts do let me you know, try to group the meetings so that we have 307 00:26:25,440 --> 00:26:33,360 relevant folks gathered together with the chief as opposed to, you know, one 308 00:26:31,360 --> 00:26:39,039 of each and becoming kind of a hodgepodge. And then July 22nd, I hope 309 00:26:37,039 --> 00:26:46,919 to start the program somewhere around 9:00 and end it prior to probably 4:00 310 00:26:43,520 --> 00:26:46,919 is what I'm 311 00:26:48,480 --> 00:26:55,440 » uh protocol for the screen. Yes, >> for like uniformed officers and not 312 00:26:54,720 --> 00:27:00,000 » right >> this we didn't talk about sending 313 00:26:57,440 --> 00:27:04,080 something out to just all the agencies if you ever have you thought about that 314 00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:08,720 » right so uh right now we are working on the communication piece including the 315 00:27:06,159 --> 00:27:14,000 press release and the signage and I'll hope to have that out pretty soon I 316 00:27:11,600 --> 00:27:20,720 think this week >> DPI has grant different I'm not worried 317 00:27:16,880 --> 00:27:20,720 about them about officers 318 00:27:22,480 --> 00:27:30,960 like plain closed ones. Doesn't everybody have their own batch? 319 00:27:27,919 --> 00:27:33,960 » Well, from their agency, but not not county. 320 00:27:35,120 --> 00:27:44,240 » So, PTA was signed last week on this issue. If you look at it, statutoily 321 00:27:41,200 --> 00:27:48,120 authorized law enforcement agents and officers are exempted. 322 00:27:50,320 --> 00:27:53,320 possibly. 323 00:27:57,679 --> 00:28:06,000 » Um, we are currently short staff as I'm sure everybody is. Uh, we have 324 00:28:04,320 --> 00:28:10,880 five officers. I'm in the process of recruiting one. I believe this is the 325 00:28:08,960 --> 00:28:15,760 second or third posting for this position. So, we're just not getting a 326 00:28:12,720 --> 00:28:20,080 lot of the applicants that we hoped for. So 327 00:28:17,279 --> 00:28:23,200 uh we have another process coming that we have four that we're going to 328 00:28:21,440 --> 00:28:30,080 look at and we shall see what happens with that but uh we don't settle. So it 329 00:28:27,520 --> 00:28:35,440 may be a third or fourth post measure. So anyways uh so the the PS that we do 330 00:28:33,919 --> 00:28:40,880 have currently our case loads are extremely high. Uh we are basically back 331 00:28:38,480 --> 00:28:45,360 to condition based supervision. Uh we're prioritizing the public safety issues as 332 00:28:43,440 --> 00:28:50,159 well as those um my words running among uh causing 333 00:28:48,559 --> 00:28:53,679 problems within the community that we're getting phone calls on because those are 334 00:28:52,240 --> 00:28:59,600 quite frankly the ones that we should be focusing on. 335 00:28:55,679 --> 00:29:06,320 So they're doing a great job considering uh the the workload that they have on 336 00:29:03,039 --> 00:29:11,039 them, but we're we're plugging away. Uh from the juvenile standpoint, we are 337 00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:15,679 also down a position and at this point unsure whether or not we will be able to 338 00:29:12,799 --> 00:29:23,120 hire that position based off of budget blows within the county. So I am at a 339 00:29:19,200 --> 00:29:31,360 stand still um waiting for my boss Greg to convene the thumbs up for stand. Um, 340 00:29:27,679 --> 00:29:35,440 I may have had some persuasiveness going conversations with 341 00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:40,320 him, but I don't know that it's all there right now, [laughter] 342 00:29:37,440 --> 00:29:44,880 but I'm I'm trying. Uh, so juvenile side, their their case loads off also 343 00:29:42,240 --> 00:29:49,840 are quite high. Uh, and you know, from a juvenile standpoint, the most expensive 344 00:29:46,960 --> 00:29:54,240 thing for us is juvenile detention beds. Uh, and we contract with Yamh Hill 345 00:29:52,399 --> 00:29:58,960 County for four beds. If we go over those four beds, we're we're charged an 346 00:29:56,080 --> 00:30:04,640 overage. And I can tell you on average, I I sign a bill for about $26,000 a 347 00:30:01,840 --> 00:30:09,600 month for those. And so that is just an astronomical amount of costs. But it is 348 00:30:07,360 --> 00:30:14,720 necessary. We're unwilling to compromise on that because it is appropriate, 349 00:30:12,320 --> 00:30:20,720 especially considering some of the uh the behaviors of our youth here lately. 350 00:30:17,600 --> 00:30:26,559 Um, and as as Marriott had said, you know, the 351 00:30:22,799 --> 00:30:32,000 weather is nice and so we're more folks are out and about, we're getting more 352 00:30:28,799 --> 00:30:35,960 calls. So, we definitely need that. So, that's all we have for 353 00:30:38,080 --> 00:30:47,600 » uh Sheriff's Office. Um, Jenkins is trying to get bigger. So uh 354 00:30:45,600 --> 00:30:53,440 we're going to work on updating our patient crimes team agreement all 355 00:30:50,240 --> 00:30:58,480 agencies seems weekly getting that going. Um also have a jail 356 00:30:56,559 --> 00:31:05,120 commander is retiring next week or end of next week or a week. So any commander 357 00:31:02,399 --> 00:31:12,600 in that budget position I guess but 358 00:31:08,480 --> 00:31:12,600 so yeah we're just pling along 359 00:31:14,320 --> 00:31:21,679 here Mr. jars. 360 00:31:18,720 --> 00:31:26,399 » Uh we're going to catch the same thing. I think uh one of our attorneys that was 361 00:31:23,919 --> 00:31:32,480 on came back today. So it's good to have impact at least alleviate some of the 362 00:31:28,880 --> 00:31:36,799 pressure associates in my um other than that the conflict 363 00:31:34,320 --> 00:31:43,840 consortium has hired two people doing adult criminal 364 00:31:39,760 --> 00:31:47,440 not having any issues with funding. There have been a few cases especially 365 00:31:45,200 --> 00:31:52,360 in general where we exhausted everybody through conflict had to reach out 366 00:31:49,360 --> 00:31:52,360 attorneys. 367 00:31:58,399 --> 00:32:03,080 So we are in budget right now. 368 00:32:06,399 --> 00:32:13,799 So that's fair is on the bubble right now. 369 00:32:14,159 --> 00:32:22,960 I believe most likely will be living for the fairgrounds in the liquor and moving 370 00:32:20,240 --> 00:32:29,279 forward no matter what I expect 371 00:32:26,080 --> 00:32:33,287 for funding. We don't have we had to 372 00:32:31,267 --> 00:32:33,287 [snorts] 373 00:32:33,679 --> 00:32:42,519 it's it's not fun but it's reality. It finally got up and that's going forward. 374 00:32:52,720 --> 00:33:01,840 » Hi. Um, we like everybody else are short staffed and are just not getting in 375 00:32:58,640 --> 00:33:06,880 applications. So, we did find one person to hire. I think we need a couple more 376 00:33:03,840 --> 00:33:11,360 though. So, hopefully that's a plus, at least one. And the other thing that 377 00:33:09,519 --> 00:33:17,519 we've been doing lately is working closely with Grand Rond for um first of 378 00:33:15,519 --> 00:33:22,559 all on their post vvention communication response protocol and also working on 379 00:33:20,399 --> 00:33:27,360 our workflow to work between the health and wellness and the Grand Round Tribal 380 00:33:24,799 --> 00:33:31,120 Police. So learned a lot about their resources. They came and toured our 381 00:33:28,960 --> 00:33:34,559 building and learned about ours. And I'm excited about that partnership and 382 00:33:33,360 --> 00:33:38,799 hopefully we'll go out to see their place pretty soon. But I think we'll I 383 00:33:36,799 --> 00:33:45,679 think we'll work a little bit better together moving forward. So that's 384 00:33:42,320 --> 00:33:49,960 probably about it. >> Thank you. Uh 385 00:33:52,480 --> 00:34:01,519 Chief Hayes, >> good afternoon. Uh first I wanted to is 386 00:33:58,799 --> 00:34:05,440 it Mary that gave the presentation? Thank you for the presentation. uh was 387 00:34:03,440 --> 00:34:10,879 really good and and I'll just echo that uh it is a great resource. I know that 388 00:34:07,279 --> 00:34:15,359 we've used Ken uh a handful of times uh over the years and not every one of them 389 00:34:13,119 --> 00:34:18,639 was a success but I know that there were some that were and I think anytime we 390 00:34:16,960 --> 00:34:22,480 can give another resource to our community that's good. So I am 391 00:34:20,560 --> 00:34:26,000 interested in your contact and theformational stuff and I was going to 392 00:34:24,079 --> 00:34:31,919 ask Sam if she might be able to email that out to those attending online. 393 00:34:28,720 --> 00:34:37,440 Yeah. Um from Monmouth PD, uh we are down two positions. Uh we've 394 00:34:34,879 --> 00:34:42,320 uh we've got two that are in background. So hopefully that all turns out well and 395 00:34:39,599 --> 00:34:46,399 we can hire two. Um you know, probably just before the end of this fiscal year. 396 00:34:44,480 --> 00:34:52,159 Uh going through budgets right now and I know that's tight for everyone. Um but 397 00:34:49,200 --> 00:34:56,639 uh we're hoping to get through that kind of unscathed again this year. And um I 398 00:34:54,960 --> 00:35:01,920 think lastly, one of the big things that we're doing right now is we've just kind 399 00:34:58,880 --> 00:35:08,079 of implemented um using some AI for our report writing and uh through Axon draft 400 00:35:05,040 --> 00:35:11,599 1. And that's been it's been a really I think good thing. I think it's going to 401 00:35:09,280 --> 00:35:16,240 be kind of a force multiplier I'll say for our department, especially when 402 00:35:13,760 --> 00:35:19,760 we're we're down, you know, people. Uh report writing takes a lot of time or 403 00:35:17,920 --> 00:35:22,640 can take a lot of time and and I think this is going to be an efficiency that 404 00:35:21,520 --> 00:35:26,800 uh we're going to get some of that time back. So, we're kind of rolling it out 405 00:35:24,800 --> 00:35:31,200 slowly. We're not doing any kind of uh criminal uh stuff with that yet, 406 00:35:29,429 --> 00:35:34,160 [clears throat] but I do foresee, you know, once we kind of get some things 407 00:35:32,400 --> 00:35:39,599 ironed out with the DA's office that we will kind of uh start looking uh to use 408 00:35:36,800 --> 00:35:42,839 it for that as well. So, um I think that's it. 409 00:35:46,640 --> 00:35:54,800 » Sure. Yeah, I will say one thing you were talking about or the AI translate 410 00:35:51,520 --> 00:36:02,160 not translate for writing um you may beting the Axon translate 411 00:35:59,040 --> 00:36:07,480 down here and I had used it twice last week in the Spanish conversation and it 412 00:36:04,480 --> 00:36:07,480 was 413 00:36:08,079 --> 00:36:13,960 as well as the price for 414 00:36:16,640 --> 00:36:25,760 Yeah. Uh 100% staff, good to go. >> So yeah, 415 00:36:23,839 --> 00:36:29,040 just joking. Just joking. [clears throat] 416 00:36:27,119 --> 00:36:35,680 Uh yeah, today is the beginning of our reorg. So Chief WAC is retiring May 417 00:36:32,720 --> 00:36:41,760 22nd. So uh Assistant Chief Ditto is going to be the interim chief. Uh Chief 418 00:36:38,720 --> 00:36:49,000 Aguular has moved up to inter assistant chief. Uh and then Lance Tini is becig. 419 00:36:50,800 --> 00:36:56,720 So lots of shuffles today. Um so if you email someone they used to email and 420 00:36:55,440 --> 00:37:02,400 they have a different title or don't respond. There you go. So we'll see how 421 00:36:59,040 --> 00:37:08,560 that's worked out. Um for whole county side of the house, I know we did uh 422 00:37:06,079 --> 00:37:11,760 Junal helped out I think last month and got somebody over to Yel and got them 423 00:37:10,240 --> 00:37:15,599 booked in nice. So, we really appreciate that. We worked a few of those bugs out 424 00:37:13,839 --> 00:37:20,240 to that house. So, I really appreciate that. And then, uh, Wall Street Park, 425 00:37:18,400 --> 00:37:25,200 uh, not jump to the shark, but I think we're working on with a local contractor 426 00:37:23,680 --> 00:37:31,359 to bring in some heavy equipment out there and the piles of mounds of 427 00:37:28,400 --> 00:37:34,960 bicycles, trash, things like that. So, uh, to be able to get in and clean up 428 00:37:32,800 --> 00:37:39,920 some stuff that our clean team, the small equipment they have, they can't 429 00:37:36,320 --> 00:37:44,960 get to. So the two work on that and uh making some headway there. So that on 430 00:37:42,560 --> 00:37:51,839 the north end or >> start towards north end the it's 431 00:37:48,960 --> 00:37:57,760 continued to push north to pass this off. So just so you know we're getting a 432 00:37:54,720 --> 00:38:02,400 lot of folks that are being told to move further north. 433 00:37:59,760 --> 00:38:08,560 So yeah, on the private property which will speed. So 434 00:38:05,680 --> 00:38:12,240 yeah, just for just for recycling, right? 435 00:38:09,920 --> 00:38:18,476 » Yeah, fair enough. >> You're going to have a good there. 436 00:38:16,456 --> 00:38:18,476 [laughter] 437 00:38:19,119 --> 00:38:24,800 » Okay. >> Is that all you got? 438 00:38:22,480 --> 00:38:30,480 » I think so. Okay. Uh OSP, 439 00:38:28,000 --> 00:38:33,920 » thank you. I don't think I have much. Um, just a little update on staffing. 440 00:38:32,960 --> 00:38:37,839 Just like everybody else, we're short-handed. Although, here in I don't 441 00:38:36,480 --> 00:38:43,920 know about a month, we're going to have between the Salem office and McMinnville 442 00:38:40,320 --> 00:38:47,200 office, seven recruits getting out um with their coaches. So, hopefully we can 443 00:38:45,280 --> 00:38:50,480 get them solo here in a few months. One thing that you guys may have noticed 444 00:38:48,240 --> 00:38:54,800 here in the past couple months is now that session's no longer going on at the 445 00:38:52,640 --> 00:38:59,760 Capitol then when they have uh the bodies to do so which is almost daily um 446 00:38:58,160 --> 00:39:03,359 they're sending at least one troop out to primarily Pulk County. Sometimes they 447 00:39:01,920 --> 00:39:08,480 have to go up to Yam Hill County but primarily the love is going to PK County 448 00:39:05,040 --> 00:39:15,599 right now. So um the goal is is to have at least a trooper in PK County uh on 449 00:39:11,599 --> 00:39:21,599 the day and swing shifts if you will. So that's all I got for OSP. 450 00:39:19,280 --> 00:39:25,320 » Yeah, we see guys out there all the time. So it's it's 451 00:39:25,520 --> 00:39:33,359 » all right. City government. City government. Um so recently on the law 452 00:39:30,640 --> 00:39:36,800 enforcement agencies total county patrols to hit Dallas weeks ago. It was 453 00:39:35,359 --> 00:39:40,280 great. Ty told me my kids did not drive that day. So 454 00:39:41,440 --> 00:39:49,280 » um no that's actually been really popular here in Dallas 455 00:39:46,079 --> 00:39:52,079 over happy place so that stuff's good. Um 456 00:39:49,920 --> 00:39:54,160 » they got two attorneys that I could see that 457 00:39:52,960 --> 00:40:03,440 » they got two attorneys. >> Yes. Love it. Um so no it's great just a 458 00:39:58,960 --> 00:40:09,040 reminder for the community issue that is great. Um for Dallas 459 00:40:06,880 --> 00:40:14,560 specifically, uh the council made a decision on the police station project. 460 00:40:10,960 --> 00:40:19,440 Um so instead of going back out building renovate former item building into a new 461 00:40:17,440 --> 00:40:22,800 city hall renovate city hall into a police station. Those are long-term 462 00:40:21,359 --> 00:40:27,119 projects. The renovation of item measure will take place this year. Um we're 463 00:40:25,040 --> 00:40:32,079 going to open bids tomorrow. We have 17 contractors announcing. So we expect 464 00:40:30,320 --> 00:40:37,359 that to be successful and to be relocated at city hall city hall by the 465 00:40:34,720 --> 00:40:40,240 end of this calendar year. Um the courtesy hall and the police station 466 00:40:38,720 --> 00:40:45,280 will be a little bit longer term maybe the size of that building. Um so we're 467 00:40:42,800 --> 00:40:48,880 going to pursue a state for that two years before we do that work. But in the 468 00:40:47,119 --> 00:40:54,359 meantime the police will occupy that space 469 00:40:51,119 --> 00:40:54,359 so that 470 00:40:54,400 --> 00:41:01,280 um and we did a fee on our bill because we do have bills at Dallas. Um it's a 471 00:40:58,720 --> 00:41:05,599 little pay for that $5 a month. We also produced another we have on the books by 472 00:41:04,160 --> 00:41:09,920 $5. So then there's no impact to the citizens wallets for that. Um on a 473 00:41:08,079 --> 00:41:14,480 staffing side our police department we're short two right now. We're 474 00:41:12,240 --> 00:41:18,400 transitioning one of our other employees into the police department for another 475 00:41:16,240 --> 00:41:26,079 department that has experience that'll be good and then we get one right now 476 00:41:21,200 --> 00:41:31,119 soon for another on that our last did that we might because we lost 477 00:41:29,599 --> 00:41:36,960 um but we're hoping to get that that one last position bill um on the budget side 478 00:41:34,160 --> 00:41:41,200 since fun is tight and people don't have the ability to ask about assistance 479 00:41:38,960 --> 00:41:45,319 we're not doing that so we're uh cutting agile sessions 480 00:41:47,920 --> 00:41:52,880 DHS. >> Yes. Uh things are going to be 481 00:41:50,800 --> 00:41:59,280 progressed. We haven't mentioned new CPS workers. So if you work with CPS, you'll 482 00:41:55,200 --> 00:42:03,440 be seeing new faces. Um and we the state is on a hiring bus. So when that 483 00:42:01,839 --> 00:42:08,079 position opens up, we have to wait six months. One of those positions is our 484 00:42:05,920 --> 00:42:12,800 resource parent recruiter for the district. So just want to put a plug 485 00:42:10,560 --> 00:42:18,000 out. But we are spent Saturday night late into Sunday morning um trying to 486 00:42:15,440 --> 00:42:23,200 find a resource parent for a kid. And so if you're in your places and spaces and 487 00:42:20,560 --> 00:42:27,359 you care of people who are quality that you think would send them our way. We 488 00:42:25,440 --> 00:42:33,280 need um that's like our I think our biggest need is to keep kids in their 489 00:42:29,599 --> 00:42:36,839 community. Um we need homes. And so that's just my 490 00:42:38,400 --> 00:42:41,400 » and 491 00:42:42,720 --> 00:42:50,319 um hi. So a big project that Sable House has going on right now is we're 492 00:42:48,079 --> 00:42:56,960 currently upgrading or renovating the shelter facility to be better able to 493 00:42:52,560 --> 00:43:02,560 accommodate pets um for families. Um currently, um we've been utilizing a lot 494 00:43:00,400 --> 00:43:07,760 of like hotel stays for people who or for families who have pets and working 495 00:43:04,800 --> 00:43:13,200 with them in that capacity. Um in the past, we've done a lot of boarding for 496 00:43:10,480 --> 00:43:19,520 with pets through a program that helped fund the boarding expenses. Um but that 497 00:43:16,560 --> 00:43:25,760 funding um stream is no longer available. And so knowing that the 498 00:43:23,520 --> 00:43:30,079 people will decline shelter if they can't have their pets within the same 499 00:43:27,520 --> 00:43:35,680 vicinity with them, um we're just working on figuring out how to be able 500 00:43:32,400 --> 00:43:42,400 to have dogs and cats specifically at the shelter and hoping that with these 501 00:43:38,640 --> 00:43:46,480 renovations um that we'll be able to better serve families and bring them 502 00:43:44,160 --> 00:43:50,720 into the shelter facility and have them there and be able to work with them 503 00:43:47,760 --> 00:43:56,400 through the facility. So that's the big um project that we have going on right 504 00:43:52,880 --> 00:44:00,960 now. Um but we continue to serve the families. We last quarter served 10 505 00:43:59,200 --> 00:44:07,119 families through emergency shelter services and we have 15 families 506 00:44:04,319 --> 00:44:14,319 currently just on our um housing assistance program. And last quarter as 507 00:44:10,400 --> 00:44:20,240 well, we helped five families avoid the um eviction process by allowing us to 508 00:44:17,920 --> 00:44:24,800 help pay the backed rent that was due and everything, which for Sable House, 509 00:44:22,400 --> 00:44:29,839 that's that's fairly new. Funding that we got is that uh has allowed us to do 510 00:44:27,440 --> 00:44:35,760 that is fairly new.
