1
00:08:51,950 --> 00:08:52,290
This year.

2
00:08:54,430 --> 00:09:22,270
Switching over to the senior services division. They have a bunch of activities for those seniors. They have their craft classes. Of course, they have their bingo, which is twice a week. But also, we had a bingo social. So it's an event that we put together where the seniors love playing Lotaria and bingo. So they were able to entertain themselves with that. By also adding music, they had the city's Hawkins dance where they got to dress the same and come with pairs. They also had movie days.

3
00:09:22,270 --> 00:09:25,510
They had excursions such as the O.C. Fair and the SWATMe.

4
00:09:26,130 --> 00:09:29,390
They also had a karaoke social and their August birthday social.

5
00:09:29,830 --> 00:09:32,450
So you can see that August was a very busy month for the seniors.

6
00:09:32,910 --> 00:09:40,750
What we try to do is we try to get them as tired as we can so they can go home and just sleep and then a little later.

7
00:09:41,650 --> 00:09:45,170
However, they keep coming back every single day, so we're so happy to see them.

8
00:09:48,180 --> 00:09:50,120
As we look, we can see our stats reports.

9
00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:55,060
These are the activities that they signed up for for the month of August.

10
00:09:55,580 --> 00:10:01,120
We have anywhere from classes, fitness classes, workshops, nutrition program, which is where

11
00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:03,540
they can eat for a donation.

12
00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:08,500
They have recreation activities, socializing groups, clubs, and even our case management

13
00:10:08,500 --> 00:10:09,080
services.

14
00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:17,540
In total, we had 6,700 and five activities, individuals attend activities throughout the month.

15
00:10:17,540 --> 00:10:21,120
And then you can see there are also the presentations we had throughout the month of August.

16
00:10:21,500 --> 00:10:26,000
We had from information booths to presentations to the health department.

17
00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:29,600
We also had the American Red Cross come in and do a blood drive.

18
00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:35,260
And then the Christian Health Center also came in and did free blood pressure screening.

19
00:10:35,560 --> 00:10:37,960
And they also set up an info booth for anybody who was interested.

20
00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:43,500
To conclude the presentation, we have our transportation division.

21
00:10:43,500 --> 00:10:51,420
and here you can see the number of trips that we gave out through the month of August.

22
00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:57,480
You can see an increase toward the end of the weeks because we started taking the children back to school.

23
00:10:57,980 --> 00:11:03,260
So you can see weeks four through six. There's a slight increase in the number of kids we were transporting.

24
00:11:03,980 --> 00:11:10,660
And also we added some new places. So we have a shopping and we have even some workplaces.

25
00:11:10,660 --> 00:11:17,800
what we hope to do with our transportation is just to add places that the seniors can that they can sign up

26
00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:21,680
and we can take them throughout the week and we call these different from our daily routes.

27
00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:25,800
And that concludes my presentation. If anybody have any questions?

28
00:11:28,750 --> 00:11:30,870
No, then we can continue with the agenda. Thank you.

29
00:11:35,900 --> 00:11:37,460
Can I have a approval of the agenda?

30
00:11:43,620 --> 00:11:44,200
I'll second it.

31
00:11:56,220 --> 00:12:02,160

00:13:36,650 --> 00:13:39,010
Is there anyone online that would wish to speak?

45

51
00:14:18,940 --> 00:14:21,800
Can we get a motion for approval and I get a motion for approval.

52
00:14:21,800 --> 00:14:21,880
Two.

53
00:14:24,790 --> 00:14:25,550
All second.

54
00:14:29,270 --> 00:14:29,650
Two missions.

55
00:14:29,950 --> 00:14:30,730
Vesera.

56
00:14:31,070 --> 00:14:31,670
Aye.

57
00:14:32,110 --> 00:14:32,690
Vasquez.

58
00:14:33,290 --> 00:14:34,170
Velasquez.

59
00:14:34,470 --> 00:14:34,630
Aye.

60
00:14:35,350 --> 00:14:36,650
Vice Chair Diaz.

61
00:14:36,810 --> 00:14:36,970
Aye.

62
00:14:37,610 --> 00:14:38,630
Chair Angano.

63
00:14:40,640 --> 00:14:43,140
Motion carries 302.

64
00:14:47,170 --> 00:14:56,150
Six A. Consideration approval of the regular Community Service Commission meeting minutes of July 14, 2026.

65
00:14:57,570 --> 00:14:59,930
Since you already approved consent calendar, the minutes are included.

66
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:29,800
So it was already approved. So you go to general business, general business, seven, a consideration, approval, the 2026 Christmas wish, toy giveaway event donation letter. The committee services department requests that the commission review, consider and recommend approval of the 2026 Christmas wish, toy giveaway donation letter. Upon commission recommendation, donation,

67
00:15:33,350 --> 00:15:42,330
The decision letter will be submitted to the City Council to secure signature, authorizing and approval for formal distribution to the local businesses community.

68
00:15:43,710 --> 00:15:46,810
I can do a brief presentation and then answer any questions.

69
00:15:47,690 --> 00:15:54,350
So before your commissioners, we have consideration approval of the 2026 Christmas wish toy giveaway donation letter.

70
00:15:54,830 --> 00:16:03,330
So every year what the community services department is tasked to do is collect donations from the business community through establishing the community.

71
00:16:03,330 --> 00:16:07,370
a letter which is formed as Attachment A and sent out to the business community to collect

72
00:16:07,370 --> 00:16:13,290
funds in order for us to provide toys to the underprivileged families of the city of South

73
00:16:13,290 --> 00:16:19,430
Amani. This also includes a hot meal, a present, and a day full of activities which includes

74
00:16:19,430 --> 00:16:25,810
a snow field, a visit from Santa Claus. And lastly, we have inflatables and activities for

75
00:16:25,810 --> 00:16:30,290
the children to do. This year, the toy drive is going to, the toy giveaway is going to be

76
00:16:30,290 --> 00:16:38,070
December 12th, that is a Saturday, and we have about an average, we get about 50 to 60 families

77
00:16:38,070 --> 00:16:44,390
per group and we do four groups throughout the day. So what we like to do is send out this

78
00:16:44,390 --> 00:16:49,110
letter to the business community and they respond by giving us a check back made to the city of

79
00:16:49,110 --> 00:16:55,250
Southamani in which we would buy a toy and then give that toy to a needy family that is registered

80
00:16:55,250 --> 00:17:01,530
for the event. So attachment A is broken down there and you can see a draft of the letter.

81
00:17:02,130 --> 00:17:06,390
If this community service commission approves, then we will present this letter to the city

82
00:17:06,390 --> 00:17:12,310
council. And then attachment B is the actual form that is filled out giving the donation

83
00:17:12,310 --> 00:17:18,250
amount. So that's where a entity for a business will sign whatever amount or they can also

84
00:17:18,250 --> 00:17:22,750
put other and put a selected amount. Then they'll mail a check back to the city of South

85
00:17:22,750 --> 00:17:25,890
the money with that donation amount that they wish.

86
00:17:27,390 --> 00:17:31,010
Is there any questions from the commissioners?

87
00:17:33,920 --> 00:17:39,680
If there's no questions, then I just ask if there can be a motion for approval to present

88
00:17:39,680 --> 00:17:41,440
this letter to the City Council.

89
00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:42,440
I make a motion.

90
00:17:43,500 --> 00:17:44,600
I'll second it.

91
00:17:47,780 --> 00:17:48,760
Commissioners Bicera?

92
00:17:49,340 --> 00:17:49,500
Aye.

93
00:17:50,540 --> 00:17:51,040
Vasquez?

94
00:17:51,780 --> 00:17:52,440
Velasquez?

95
00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:52,860
Aye.

96
00:17:53,360 --> 00:17:54,400
Vice-Chairdys?

97
00:17:54,940 --> 00:17:56,080
Chair Angano?

98
00:17:56,080 --> 00:17:59,620
No. Motion carries 302.

99
00:18:09,450 --> 00:18:10,270
Or an item 7B.

100
00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:14,400
Let me just read the title and then I can do.

101
00:18:14,520 --> 00:18:19,020
On the 26th, 5K turkey dash and 1K turkey trot, perfect.

102
00:18:19,780 --> 00:18:24,500
So I wanted to provide an update on the 5K and the 1K turkey dash turkey trot that's

103
00:18:24,500 --> 00:18:26,240
going to happen in the city of Southamani.

104
00:18:26,760 --> 00:18:31,420
The date for the event is going to be Saturday, November 21st, so that is the Saturday before

105
00:18:31,420 --> 00:18:31,940
Thanksgiving.

106
00:18:31,940 --> 00:18:39,980
giving. It's an annual event, and the participation has increased over the years. The first time

107
00:18:39,980 --> 00:18:44,600
we did this event, I believe was about seven years ago. We had 50, and then last year

108
00:18:44,600 --> 00:18:50,480
we had 580 participants signed up for the event. So it is a growing event. We're doing

109
00:18:50,480 --> 00:18:54,460
so the update that I wanted to provide to the commission was we did raise the fees.

110
00:19:01,480 --> 00:19:01,920
So what

111
00:19:01,920 --> 00:19:07,180
However, we had kids free for a significant amount of years.

112
00:19:07,380 --> 00:19:09,420
So all the years in the past, every child has been free.

113
00:19:10,100 --> 00:19:12,080
However, when we do every child is free,

114
00:19:12,140 --> 00:19:14,340
what we notice is that 50% of the participants

115
00:19:14,340 --> 00:19:17,700
that sign up under the free category, they don't attend the event.

116
00:19:18,340 --> 00:19:22,420
And it is a cost per participant for us to do administrative work,

117
00:19:22,680 --> 00:19:27,160
but also we have to pay for a timing chip which is $2.50 per participant.

118
00:19:27,160 --> 00:19:31,780
So whoever does income, we do it for free, we actually lose funding.

119
00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:38,160
So to make a $5 fee for youth participants, it's more of a commitment fee in order for

120
00:19:38,160 --> 00:19:39,720
them to actually attend the event.

121
00:19:40,340 --> 00:19:46,800
So that is the update that I wanted to provide to the commission and everything else with

122
00:19:46,800 --> 00:19:51,500
the races themselves, the courses have not changed, the number of categories have not changed,

123
00:19:51,500 --> 00:19:54,000
and also the race times have not changed.

124
00:19:54,000 --> 00:20:01,680
We have two races, we have the children's turkey trot, which are from ages 5 to 8 years old, and then we have the 5K from ages.

125
00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:07,720
You can sign up as a 5-year-old as well, and we go all the way up to whatever age as long as you want to participate in it.

126
00:20:08,100 --> 00:20:12,140
And within those, we have different age categories that you can win in each category.

127
00:20:14,330 --> 00:20:18,370
So some of the categories we have themselves, we have adult categories, we have a senior category.

128
00:20:18,370 --> 00:20:24,590
adult goes from 30 to 45 and then we have 46 to 55 and then we have senior

129
00:20:24,590 --> 00:20:29,350
categories from 55 to 65 and then we have a 65 plus as well.

130
00:20:32,380 --> 00:20:33,000
Are there any

131
00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:36,960
questions from the commission about any of the information about the South

132
00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:39,980
Amani Turkey-5K and 1K trial?

133
00:20:46,790 --> 00:20:48,570
If they're being done I mean this is more for a

134
00:20:48,570 --> 00:20:54,550
receiving file since there's no discussion. So receiving file? Yes sir.

135
00:21:06,310 --> 00:21:06,910
No

136
00:21:06,910 --> 00:21:08,730
Go to number eight.

137
00:21:11,130 --> 00:21:11,610
Yes, sir.

138
00:21:11,910 --> 00:21:12,030
Right.

139
00:21:12,990 --> 00:21:16,550
Commissioners reports, including AB1234 reports.

140
00:21:17,850 --> 00:21:29,170
AB1234 Section 532.32.3D requires members of a legislative body to provide brief reports on meetings attended at the expense of the local agency.

141
00:21:30,210 --> 00:21:32,990
A conference and seminar training, etc.

142
00:21:34,050 --> 00:21:36,790
At the next regular meeting of the legislative body.

143
00:21:40,230 --> 00:21:41,850
Any of the commissions which to start?

144
00:21:42,870 --> 00:21:43,530
I'll start.

145
00:21:44,310 --> 00:21:46,690
I was able to attend the National Ride Out.

146
00:21:48,170 --> 00:21:49,210
It was a good turnout.

147
00:21:50,010 --> 00:21:52,350
I think last year was a bit more than we had this year.

148
00:21:52,870 --> 00:21:53,830
But it's still good turnout.

149
00:21:54,110 --> 00:21:55,090
The kids enjoyed it.

150
00:21:55,530 --> 00:21:57,490
They enjoyed getting a backpack and stuff.

151
00:21:57,790 --> 00:21:59,350
So it was a good event.

152
00:22:00,090 --> 00:22:02,710
The night market again was well attended.

153
00:22:03,130 --> 00:22:03,810
A good crowd.

154
00:22:05,430 --> 00:22:08,290
I ran into a lot of kids that I used to coach before.

155
00:22:08,290 --> 00:22:11,010
and it was kind of a good environment as usual.

156
00:22:11,570 --> 00:22:14,750
So, good old to our staff, they do fantastic work.

157
00:22:16,670 --> 00:22:17,250
So, I have.

158
00:22:19,010 --> 00:22:21,710
I was able to attend the last night market,

159
00:22:21,830 --> 00:22:22,490
which was really fun.

160
00:22:23,250 --> 00:22:24,710
And then my son just played the whole time.

161
00:22:25,050 --> 00:22:28,110
So, other than that, but I think it was while

162
00:22:28,110 --> 00:22:29,550
a tendency that I had a lot more new,

163
00:22:30,510 --> 00:22:35,270
I think it's not like more new boost or stuff like that

164
00:22:35,270 --> 00:22:37,710
that I have in the past, so it was a lot more selections

165
00:22:37,710 --> 00:22:40,130
that I like that. So hopefully they come back.

166
00:22:42,430 --> 00:22:47,410
I attended the night market, which is always nice. It's always fun.

167
00:22:48,010 --> 00:22:53,550
That's a food. That's a people. Maybe because of the band, you know, the DJ.

168
00:22:54,450 --> 00:23:00,390
But other than that, looking forward to next year's night market.

169
00:23:11,150 --> 00:23:13,570
And then we can go to section nine correspondence.

170
00:23:14,570 --> 00:23:15,510
We have none.

171
00:23:17,210 --> 00:23:18,230
Commissioners agenda.

172
00:23:18,690 --> 00:23:19,650
There are none at this time.

173
00:23:20,810 --> 00:23:24,220
A German 621.

174
00:23:25,720 --> 00:23:27,520
Can you just read the next meeting please?

175
00:23:27,920 --> 00:23:31,820
