00:09:23,790 --> 00:09:24,040
necessarily native but we

262
00:09:24,324 --> 00:09:24,574

00:09:35,568 --> 00:09:35,818
mostly young girls and we hear

268
00:09:36,202 --> 00:09:36,452
what we hear is that

269
00:09:39,572 --> 00:09:39,822

00:09:43,510 --> 00:09:43,760
and it's very concerning you

272
00:09:44,244 --> 00:09:44,494
know trafficking is our biggest

273
00:09:46,012 --> 00:09:46,262
thing. one of my biggest things

274
00:09:48,047 --> 00:09:48,297
to continue and can continue to

275
00:09:49,783 --> 00:09:50,033
address you know and we need to

276
00:09:51,818 --> 00:09:52,068
make sure that we keep don't let

277
00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:54,570
it out out of our view and keep

278
00:09:55,755 --> 00:09:56,005
pushing the trafficking and

279
00:09:57,524 --> 00:09:57,774
making sure that we provide a

280
00:09:58,525 --> 00:09:58,775
safe place for people to go we

281
00:10:00,093 --> 00:10:00,343
want to we want to try to make

282
00:10:02,295 --> 00:10:02,545
something safe where if somebody

283
00:10:04,264 --> 00:10:04,514
is here maybe against their will

284
00:10:05,865 --> 00:10:06,115
or some got dropped off you know

285
00:10:08,034 --> 00:10:08,284
and as soon as you hear dropped

286
00:10:11,571 --> 00:10:11,821
off that's that's scary you know

287
00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:14,290
and we wanted that's one

288
00:10:15,508 --> 00:10:15,758
of the things we're working on

289
00:10:16,276 --> 00:10:16,526

know they're safe and they can

292
00:10:21,548 --> 00:10:21,798
go. having worked in Mexico30

293
00:10:22,348 --> 00:10:22,598
years ago I kind of have a

294
00:10:24,317 --> 00:10:24,567
little bit of experience with

295
00:10:26,352 --> 00:10:26,602
what what happens with when you

296
00:10:27,921 --> 00:10:28,171
have people who are trafficked

297
00:10:29,589 --> 00:10:29,839
and some of the people aren't

298
00:10:30,356 --> 00:10:30,606
necessarily native they are

299
00:10:31,825 --> 00:10:32,075

300
00:10:32,492 --> 00:10:32,742

side to provide these positions

357
00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:14,010

358
00:12:16,029 --> 00:12:16,279
step is the education we want to

in hand with their universities

381
00:12:58,304 --> 00:12:58,554
to be able to fill the positions

382
00:13:00,273 --> 00:13:00,523
that they that they they know

383
00:13:02,075 --> 00:13:02,325
they're gonna need and they and

384
00:13:02,809 --> 00:13:03,059
they fill these positions so

385
00:13:04,511 --> 00:13:04,761
that they can provide an experts

386
00:13:07,747 --> 00:13:07,997
the the the high quality

387
00:13:10,016 --> 00:13:10,266
testing lab and testing facility

388
00:13:13,520 --> 00:13:13,770
so you know education of course

389
00:13:15,755 --> 00:13:16,005
then the court the next thing is

390
00:13:16,489 --> 00:13:16,739
recreation you know we want to

391
00:13:17,190 --> 00:13:17,440
we the gallup is we're looking

392
00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:20,610
at doing a pretty big expansion

393
00:13:21,995 --> 00:13:22,245
to our recreation. you know I

394
00:13:22,595 --> 00:13:22,845
hear when I go to the municipal

395
00:13:23,763 --> 00:13:24,013
league I hear from people that

396
00:13:25,498 --> 00:13:25,748
gallup has some of the best

397
00:13:27,667 --> 00:13:27,917
recreational facilities and we

398
00:13:29,536 --> 00:13:29,786
do you know and not only that we

399
00:13:31,538 --> 00:13:31,788
have cool weather so in the

400
00:13:32,138 --> 00:13:32,388
summertime it's nice to come to

401
00:13:34,407 --> 00:13:34,657
Gallup but of course you know as

402
00:13:36,109 --> 00:13:36,359
as Senator Pinto knows you know

403
00:13:38,278 --> 00:13:38,528
basketball is dear to gallup and

404
00:13:40,313 --> 00:13:40,563
so is you know the soccer is

405
00:13:41,781 --> 00:13:42,031
becoming one of the other things

406
00:13:43,817 --> 00:13:44,067
volleyball you know football

407
00:13:45,518 --> 00:13:45,768
and all the different sports but

408
00:13:46,486 --> 00:13:46,736
we have the opportunity here

409
00:13:47,153 --> 00:13:47,403
every weekend

410
00:13:50,290 --> 00:13:50,540
our our sports fields are filled

411
00:13:52,058 --> 00:13:52,308
because people come as far as

412
00:13:53,993 --> 00:13:54,243
Phoenix Yuma, Texas to go to

413
00:13:55,728 --> 00:13:55,978
play here inallup and we want to

414
00:13:58,231 --> 00:13:58,481
continue that the then

415
00:14:00,033 --> 00:14:00,283
another thing of course is

416
00:14:02,302 --> 00:14:02,552
housing you know one of the

417
00:14:03,736 --> 00:14:03,986
one of the deals that or one of

418
00:14:04,404 --> 00:14:04,654
the things that we will work on

419
00:14:07,540 --> 00:14:07,790
housing right now is incredibly

420
00:14:10,076 --> 00:14:10,326
expensive my family's been

421
00:14:11,811 --> 00:14:12,061
building houses in here probably

422
00:14:13,580 --> 00:14:13,830
for h00 years. you know my aro

423
00:14:15,548 --> 00:14:15,798
Caania was was my grandfather he

424
00:14:17,717 --> 00:14:17,967
was a stonemason he learned the

425
00:14:20,086 --> 00:14:20,336
stonemasonry from the Spanish so

426
00:14:21,554 --> 00:14:21,804
one of the reasons when I went

427
00:14:22,188 --> 00:14:22,438
back to Barcelona I wanted to

428
00:14:24,090 --> 00:14:24,340
see exactly what why

429
00:14:25,558 --> 00:14:25,808
everything's so common wall and

430
00:14:26,192 --> 00:14:26,442
sure enough you know I could see

431
00:14:28,061 --> 00:14:28,311
that see the resemblance between

432
00:14:30,363 --> 00:14:30,613
downtown Gallup and some of the

433
00:14:33,566 --> 00:14:33,816
buildings were in Barcelona but

434
00:14:34,267 --> 00:14:34,517
you know he he learned the

435
00:14:34,801 --> 00:14:35,051
stonemason trade from the S

436
00:14:37,804 --> 00:14:38,054
pan ish and at one time he had75

437
00:14:39,806 --> 00:14:40,056
stonemasons working for him. He

438
00:14:41,775 --> 00:14:42,025
built the church in Hau. he

439
00:14:43,810 --> 00:14:44,060
built the church in Tohatchie

440
00:14:45,578 --> 00:14:45,828
he built churches all over the

441
00:14:47,614 --> 00:14:47,864
diocese of gallup. we had75

442
00:14:48,348 --> 00:14:48,598
stonemasons and then most of

443
00:14:50,016 --> 00:14:50,266
them are either zuni or Navajo

444
00:14:53,553 --> 00:14:53,803
the Tracy's Keaazzzie all my

445
00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:54,370
all my friends that grew up with

446
00:14:57,757 --> 00:14:58,007
but housing is dear is

447
00:14:58,291 --> 00:14:58,541
something we really need to look

448
00:14:58,958 --> 00:14:59,208
into

449
00:15:01,828 --> 00:15:02,078
you know it's it's a hard it's

450
00:15:02,495 --> 00:15:02,745
hard to

451
00:15:06,032 --> 00:15:06,282
it's hard to proceed with

452
00:15:09,536 --> 00:15:09,786
housing when a simple1300 square

453
00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:14,090
foot houses almost $250,000 you

454
00:15:14,574 --> 00:15:14,824
know, I I don't know what how

455
00:15:16,309 --> 00:15:16,559
we're ever going to catch up but

456
00:15:17,777 --> 00:15:18,027
you know there are going to be

457
00:15:18,378 --> 00:15:18,628
you know it's one of the things

458
00:15:20,013 --> 00:15:20,263
we have to do is maybe there

459
00:15:21,781 --> 00:15:22,031
might be some federal federal or

460
00:15:23,583 --> 00:15:23,833
state assistance to do that but

461
00:15:24,350 --> 00:15:24,600
that's the next thing so

462
00:15:27,821 --> 00:15:28,071
recreation education housing and

463
00:15:28,488 --> 00:15:28,738
jobs

464
00:15:31,758 --> 00:15:32,008
and with that if there's any

465
00:15:32,425 --> 00:15:32,675
questions I'll be glad to answer

466
00:15:33,059 --> 00:15:33,309
them.

trying to have us host this

meeting however

508
00:16:56,042 --> 00:16:56,292
you know due to unforeseen

509
00:16:58,077 --> 00:16:58,327
circumstances we have to you

510
00:17:00,280 --> 00:17:00,530
know we were without water there

511
00:17:02,282 --> 00:17:02,532
for a while we were without

512
00:17:04,317 --> 00:17:04,567
internet and electric and we had

513
00:17:06,453 --> 00:17:06,703
a lot of stranded relatives

514
00:17:08,021 --> 00:17:08,271
that we needed to house at the

515
00:17:11,825 --> 00:17:12,075
chapter anyway so we've been

516
00:17:15,995 --> 00:17:16,245

that and some projects have been

582
00:19:45,812 --> 00:19:46,062
successfully done and one

583
00:19:47,547 --> 00:19:47,797
thing before anything as I

584
00:19:49,516 --> 00:19:49,766
wanted to say I hope you still

585
00:19:52,018 --> 00:19:52,268
support us with the the projects

586
00:19:53,787 --> 00:19:54,037
that are still pending like

587
00:19:54,521 --> 00:19:54,771
the highway491 lighting

588
00:19:58,258 --> 00:19:58,508
and if you guys were over at

589
00:19:59,793 --> 00:20:00,043
the chapter I was and go ahead

590
00:20:03,463 --> 00:20:03,713
and have you witness all the

591
00:20:05,565 --> 00:20:05,815
fast vehicles that are going

592
00:20:06,199 --> 00:20:06,449
through and we have an

593
00:20:08,268 --> 00:20:08,518
elementary school there is no

594
00:20:11,571 --> 00:20:11,821
slowdown signs there is no

595
00:20:13,773 --> 00:20:14,023
bus pullout nothing like that

596
00:20:16,075 --> 00:20:16,325
people are just passing through

597
00:20:18,278 --> 00:20:18,528
there so fast there is no bump,

598
00:20:20,046 --> 00:20:20,296
nothing to warn people that

599
00:20:22,482 --> 00:20:22,732
there's a school there or

600
00:20:24,284 --> 00:20:24,534
anything so please I would

601
00:20:24,818 --> 00:20:25,068
suggest that you guys

602
00:20:28,621 --> 00:20:28,871
look into that and see what we

603
00:20:30,290 --> 00:20:30,540
can do to eliminate or to slow

604
00:20:31,591 --> 00:20:31,841
down traffic through there

605
00:20:35,795 --> 00:20:36,045
and then another thing that that

606
00:20:37,530 --> 00:20:37,780
you know is on my mind while

607
00:20:41,801 --> 00:20:42,051
I'm here is that we do we

608
00:20:44,003 --> 00:20:44,253
did pay the money that you guys

609
00:20:47,507 --> 00:20:47,757
did give paid for the safety

610
00:20:49,709 --> 00:20:49,959
audit that took all the money

611
00:20:52,045 --> 00:20:52,295
that your you allocated so

612
00:20:53,813 --> 00:20:54,063
now it's just the construction

613
00:20:57,584 --> 00:20:57,834
that's all you know pending and

614
00:20:58,318 --> 00:20:58,568
they say that we need more

615
00:21:01,721 --> 00:21:01,971
money1.4 million to complete and

616
00:21:02,388 --> 00:21:02,638
we really

617
00:21:05,758 --> 00:21:06,008
request that and hopefully it

618
00:21:06,426 --> 00:21:06,676
can be done soon

619
00:21:10,029 --> 00:21:10,279
and then and then thank you

620
00:21:11,898 --> 00:21:12,148
so much for

621
00:21:16,269 --> 00:21:16,519
JohnsonRoad. it is now a major

622
00:21:19,506 --> 00:21:19,756
road in our community thank you

623
00:21:21,875 --> 00:21:22,125
Patty Lindstrum for pushing

624
00:21:22,442 --> 00:21:22,692
that through for us

625
00:21:25,845 --> 00:21:26,095
and now we get all of the coyote

626
00:21:28,047 --> 00:21:28,297
Kenyan transportation to people

627
00:21:30,016 --> 00:21:30,266
coming from Coyota Canyon go

628
00:21:31,985 --> 00:21:32,235
through that road people coming

629
00:21:33,787 --> 00:21:34,037
fromortlegai roadad go through

630
00:21:36,055 --> 00:21:36,305
that road so it's really it

631
00:21:39,559 --> 00:21:39,809
needs to be completed the

632
00:21:41,561 --> 00:21:41,811
construction was not completed

633
00:21:43,997 --> 00:21:44,247
2.2 miles of it is still

634
00:21:46,299 --> 00:21:46,549
unfinished due to the fact that

635
00:21:49,536 --> 00:21:49,786
money ran short but I would

636
00:21:51,604 --> 00:21:51,854
really recommend that that being

637
00:21:52,272 --> 00:21:52,522
that it's a major road right

638
00:21:55,909 --> 00:21:56,159
now but it has a lot of potholes

639
00:21:58,311 --> 00:21:58,561
now you know due to you know

640
00:22:00,313 --> 00:22:00,563
people going through there a lot

641
00:22:02,115 --> 00:22:02,365
and it's one of the major roads

642
00:22:04,284 --> 00:22:04,534
and one of our bridges are ready

643
00:22:05,985 --> 00:22:06,235
to give out and there's two

644
00:22:08,021 --> 00:22:08,271
bridges on that road but anyway

645
00:22:09,956 --> 00:22:10,206
I wanted to highlight that

646
00:22:13,526 --> 00:22:13,776
for you guys and then thankfully

647
00:22:15,562 --> 00:22:15,812
the money that you all allocated

648
00:22:16,296 --> 00:22:16,546
for the demolition of the old

649
00:22:19,566 --> 00:22:19,816
chapter itss finally going to

650
00:22:21,768 --> 00:22:22,018
happen it's out for bid and all

651
00:22:22,435 --> 00:22:22,685
that and

652
00:22:24,504 --> 00:22:24,754
asbestos cleanup needs to happen

653
00:22:26,306 --> 00:22:26,556
and all that they say but it's

654
00:22:29,476 --> 00:22:29,726
going to happen soon and it's

655
00:22:32,011 --> 00:22:32,261
out for bid so with that you

656
00:22:34,280 --> 00:22:34,530
know wanted to let you all know

657
00:22:36,549 --> 00:22:36,799
that that's going to happen

658
00:22:39,986 --> 00:22:40,236
and then and it's sad that

659
00:22:41,754 --> 00:22:42,004
the community cemetery that's

660
00:22:44,290 --> 00:22:44,540
really needed in our area.

661
00:22:47,761 --> 00:22:48,011
that money was reburied you know

662
00:22:50,230 --> 00:22:50,480
just because you know we have

663
00:22:51,731 --> 00:22:51,981
no project managers at the

664
00:22:54,434 --> 00:22:54,684
Navajo Nation

665
00:22:58,004 --> 00:22:58,254
in their government where you

666
00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:00,490
know the planned the projects

667
00:23:01,741 --> 00:23:01,991
and things like that people are

668
00:23:04,077 --> 00:23:04,327
leaving leaving their jobs and

669
00:23:06,012 --> 00:23:06,262
it's just staff turnover that's

670
00:23:08,314 --> 00:23:08,564
really slowing down things in

671
00:23:10,016 --> 00:23:10,266
the winter rock and with our

672
00:23:11,985 --> 00:23:12,235
chapter so we're just sitting

673
00:23:14,053 --> 00:23:14,303
idly by just waiting you know

674
00:23:15,755 --> 00:23:16,005
for these projects to be

675
00:23:19,592 --> 00:23:19,842
completed so you know that's I

676
00:23:20,193 --> 00:23:20,443
just wanted you guys to all

677
00:23:22,395 --> 00:23:22,645
understand that so you know it's

678
00:23:23,029 --> 00:23:23,279
really win the rock

679
00:23:26,032 --> 00:23:26,282
you know money stops there and

680
00:23:27,734 --> 00:23:27,984
all of that and you all know

681
00:23:30,203 --> 00:23:30,453
that so we just need people to

682
00:23:32,205 --> 00:23:32,455
push all that money through so

683
00:23:33,840 --> 00:23:34,090
it can you know accommodate our

684
00:23:34,541 --> 00:23:34,791
community

685
00:23:37,777 --> 00:23:38,027
and then one thing I want to

686
00:23:38,378 --> 00:23:38,628
suggest to the mayor is that

687
00:23:40,447 --> 00:23:40,697
maybe a sports complex in Gallup

688
00:23:43,750 --> 00:23:44,000
is due because you know I think

689
00:23:46,085 --> 00:23:46,335
it brings a lot of revenue

690
00:23:47,821 --> 00:23:48,071
and money you know are our

691
00:23:49,989 --> 00:23:50,239
sports and Navajo kids are

692
00:23:51,758 --> 00:23:52,008
really into sports and they

693
00:23:53,560 --> 00:23:53,810
bring that activity here and

694
00:23:54,227 --> 00:23:54,477
gallup

695
00:23:57,564 --> 00:23:57,814
you know makes makes money off

696
00:23:59,732 --> 00:23:59,982
of our people and all that and I

697
00:24:02,001 --> 00:24:02,251
think a sports complexes do here

698
00:24:02,669 --> 00:24:02,919
in Gallup

699
00:24:05,538 --> 00:24:05,788
either that or on the

700
00:24:06,172 --> 00:24:06,422
reservation on the highway491.

701
00:24:09,976 --> 00:24:10,226
but anyway, these are some of

702
00:24:11,978 --> 00:24:12,228
the things I wanted to highlight

703
00:24:12,679 --> 00:24:12,929
and

704
00:24:16,349 --> 00:24:16,599
just think about all this for

705
00:24:19,519 --> 00:24:19,769
us honorable leaders and we

706
00:24:20,286 --> 00:24:20,536
really appreciate all that you

707
00:24:23,756 --> 00:24:24,006
do and that's what I I have

708
00:24:26,059 --> 00:24:26,309
to say and the vice president

709
00:24:26,693 --> 00:24:26,943
here from the chapter I think

710
00:24:27,360 --> 00:24:27,610
will

711
00:24:29,929 --> 00:24:30,179
you know add to that

712
00:24:36,319 --> 00:24:36,569

718
00:24:54,254 --> 00:24:54,504

00:24:56,022 --> 00:24:56,272

ChR does not have a place to

00:25:38,064 --> 00:25:38,314
house herself so she's stuck in

740
00:25:38,698 --> 00:25:38,948
the corner at the chapter house

741
00:25:43,803 --> 00:25:44,053
that consists of all the

742
00:25:46,005 --> 00:25:46,255
functions the daily functions of

743
00:25:46,673 --> 00:25:46,923
our chapter house

744
00:25:49,542 --> 00:25:49,792
and we would have loved to show

745
00:25:51,544 --> 00:25:51,794
you and take you down some of

746
00:25:53,746 --> 00:25:53,996
these roads that men and

747
00:25:55,748 --> 00:25:55,998
majority of our people travel

748
00:25:58,251 --> 00:25:58,501
every single day and these roads

749
00:26:01,788 --> 00:26:02,038
are for school use hospital

750
00:26:03,990 --> 00:26:04,240
appointment just to go get food

751
00:26:04,657 --> 00:26:04,907
just daily survival

752
00:26:09,562 --> 00:26:09,812
and a lot of them are washed out

753
00:26:10,497 --> 00:26:10,747
at this around last week and

754
00:26:11,631 --> 00:26:11,881
this week mostly

755
00:26:16,069 --> 00:26:16,319
wo homes completely flooded and

756
00:26:18,271 --> 00:26:18,521
we're working diligently to

757
00:26:19,806 --> 00:26:20,056
replace those homes with

758
00:26:21,741 --> 00:26:21,991
whatever funds we can get our

759
00:26:22,408 --> 00:26:22,658
hands on

760
00:26:26,212 --> 00:26:26,462
and just to echo what my sister

761
00:26:28,248 --> 00:26:28,498
said were sisters by clan by the

762
00:26:30,150 --> 00:26:30,400
way I'm probably sisters and

763
00:26:33,553 --> 00:26:33,803
relatives of the leadership here

764
00:26:34,187 --> 00:26:34,437
we work with

765
00:26:37,791 --> 00:26:38,041
our local governments whether

766
00:26:39,993 --> 00:26:40,243
it be thenavajo nation the state

767
00:26:42,262 --> 00:26:42,512
government, the Mcinley County,

768
00:26:42,896 --> 00:26:43,146
the city

769
00:26:47,801 --> 00:26:48,051
we all work together and try to

770
00:26:48,535 --> 00:26:48,785
make things happen for our

771
00:26:51,971 --> 00:26:52,221
people we get call all hours of

772
00:26:54,240 --> 00:26:54,490
the night we get text messages.

773
00:26:57,510 --> 00:26:57,760
I am flooded what can you do is

774
00:26:59,712 --> 00:26:59,962
the chapter available and we

775
00:27:01,514 --> 00:27:01,764
have to go around and make the

776
00:27:02,182 --> 00:27:02,432
chapter accessible 24/7.

777
00:27:06,286 --> 00:27:06,536
and mind you we're missing one

778
00:27:08,288 --> 00:27:08,538
important employee at our local

779
00:27:10,457 --> 00:27:10,707
government letters the the area

780
00:27:13,593 --> 00:27:13,843
so that makes it even harder

781
00:27:16,029 --> 00:27:16,279
what they call a a a community

782
00:27:18,098 --> 00:27:18,348
service worker the position is

783
00:27:18,765 --> 00:27:19,015
vacant in our area.

784
00:27:20,233 --> 00:27:20,483
in our chapter

785
00:27:23,536 --> 00:27:23,786
so we have to rely on our local

786
00:27:24,204 --> 00:27:24,454
public employment program

787
00:27:24,771 --> 00:27:25,021
workers

788
00:27:28,041 --> 00:27:28,291
and that's just the gist of how

789
00:27:31,778 --> 00:27:32,028
we live our lives in twin lakes

790
00:27:33,980 --> 00:27:34,230
but I would not change it for

791
00:27:35,782 --> 00:27:36,032
anything else. I'm there to help

792
00:27:37,750 --> 00:27:38,000
my people wherever I can however

793
00:27:40,053 --> 00:27:40,303
I can and I really do appreciate

794
00:27:43,756 --> 00:27:44,006
you all listening to me a ha I

795
00:27:45,525 --> 00:27:45,775
appreciate you all and

796
00:27:46,025 --> 00:27:46,275
everything that you all do you

797
00:27:48,261 --> 00:27:48,511
know it takes a lot being in a

798
00:27:49,796 --> 00:27:50,046
position wearing all kinds of

799
00:27:51,765 --> 00:27:52,015
hats and I'm sure you'll all get

800
00:27:52,398 --> 00:27:52,648
told this too

801
00:27:55,535 --> 00:27:55,785
some good and some not so good

802
00:27:57,837 --> 00:27:58,087
but we managed to live all those

803
00:27:58,471 --> 00:27:58,721
moments

804
00:27:58,721 --> 00:27:58,971
thank you

805
00:28:06,312 --> 00:28:06,562
thank you I havepresentative

806
00:28:07,814 --> 00:28:08,064
Lindstrom. thank you madam

807
00:28:09,783 --> 00:28:10,033
Chair. I'd like to start by

808
00:28:12,018 --> 00:28:12,268
saying both Elouise and Joan are

809
00:28:13,820 --> 00:28:14,070
two of the hardestworking public

810
00:28:14,487 --> 00:28:14,737
servants I've ever met.

811
00:28:17,757 --> 00:28:18,007
I've worked with them for years

812
00:28:19,793 --> 00:28:20,043
Eloise obviously at the

813
00:28:21,528 --> 00:28:21,778
chapter level and Joan at the

814
00:28:22,162 --> 00:28:22,412
chapter level and the public

815
00:28:22,829 --> 00:28:23,079
schools

816
00:28:26,266 --> 00:28:26,516
I did want to ask you a question

817
00:28:28,034 --> 00:28:28,284
there's a concept being kicked

818
00:28:29,836 --> 00:28:30,086
around now that council

819
00:28:32,005 --> 00:28:32,255
delegates will determine where

820
00:28:32,639 --> 00:28:32,889
your capital outlay goes.

821
00:28:35,942 --> 00:28:36,192
that's in a nutshell what I've

822
00:28:37,777 --> 00:28:38,027
always said when they talked to

823
00:28:38,511 --> 00:28:38,761
me about it is I'm gonna put the

824
00:28:39,245 --> 00:28:39,495
money

825
00:28:41,548 --> 00:28:41,798
to the people that actually send

826
00:28:43,516 --> 00:28:43,766
me to Santa Fe and I'm still

827
00:28:44,451 --> 00:28:44,701
gonna do that regardless of what

828
00:28:45,118 --> 00:28:45,368
everybody else does.

829
00:28:48,021 --> 00:28:48,271
because I think you know your

830
00:28:50,323 --> 00:28:50,573
community's at a heart level you

831
00:28:52,225 --> 00:28:52,475
know exactly where those

832
00:28:52,759 --> 00:28:53,009
pressure points are

833
00:28:56,196 --> 00:28:56,446
when you talk about things

834
00:28:58,031 --> 00:28:58,281
like JohnsonRoad. we worked on

835
00:29:00,233 --> 00:29:00,483
that project for probably5 years

836
00:29:02,268 --> 00:29:02,518
or longer. All those road

837
00:29:05,505 --> 00:29:05,755
projects I was involved with the

838
00:29:07,640 --> 00:29:07,890
new chapter building and that

839
00:29:08,308 --> 00:29:08,558
was yours in the making

840
00:29:10,477 --> 00:29:10,727
and it worked out fine for us

841
00:29:12,212 --> 00:29:12,462
and we're the rubber hits the

842
00:29:13,780 --> 00:29:14,030
road for us is what happens in

843
00:29:14,447 --> 00:29:14,697
Wind orRock.

844
00:29:16,149 --> 00:29:16,399
we don't have any control over

845
00:29:16,850 --> 00:29:17,100
that

846
00:29:20,286 --> 00:29:20,536
but what I wanted to ask is that

847
00:29:20,954 --> 00:29:21,204
there is a

848
00:29:24,290 --> 00:29:24,540
a group that's called the New

849
00:29:26,226 --> 00:29:26,476
Mexico delegation they're made

850
00:29:27,527 --> 00:29:27,777
up of different council

851
00:29:28,261 --> 00:29:28,511
delegates they're supposed to

852
00:29:29,796 --> 00:29:30,046
meet with us on a regular basis

853
00:29:33,767 --> 00:29:34,017
and they meet with us and tell

854
00:29:36,035 --> 00:29:36,285
us what the needs of the of the

855
00:29:36,669 --> 00:29:36,919
tribe is you know in general

856
00:29:38,204 --> 00:29:38,454
and

857
00:29:41,541 --> 00:29:41,791
what I've always found

858
00:29:43,543 --> 00:29:43,793
interesting is that they've

859
00:29:44,310 --> 00:29:44,560
never brought up this thing

860
00:29:45,779 --> 00:29:46,029
about cemeteries now the

861
00:29:47,981 --> 00:29:48,231
cemetery issue is a regulation

862
00:29:49,983 --> 00:29:50,233
that's changed across the entire

863
00:29:50,683 --> 00:29:50,933
Navajo nation

864
00:29:54,020 --> 00:29:54,270
so why on earth money would

865
00:29:55,989 --> 00:29:56,239
revert especially knowing that

866
00:29:57,557 --> 00:29:57,807
I'm the one who put that in

867
00:29:59,793 --> 00:30:00,043
there bugs me. it bugs me

868
00:30:01,995 --> 00:30:02,245
because those regulations came

869
00:30:03,530 --> 00:30:03,780
out of wenderock for the

870
00:30:05,598 --> 00:30:05,848
chapters to follow. It would

871
00:30:07,767 --> 00:30:08,017
make sense to me that this New

872
00:30:10,236 --> 00:30:10,486
Mexico delegation of council

873
00:30:12,005 --> 00:30:12,255
delegates would come together

874
00:30:14,507 --> 00:30:14,757
ask for one appropriation for

875
00:30:16,009 --> 00:30:16,259
all the chapters that are

876
00:30:17,610 --> 00:30:17,860
looking at upgrading your

877
00:30:18,178 --> 00:30:18,428
cemeteries

878
00:30:21,548 --> 00:30:21,798
for improvements for cemeteries

879
00:30:23,550 --> 00:30:23,800
across New Mexico chapters and

880
00:30:24,284 --> 00:30:24,534
we put that in as one capital

881
00:30:24,884 --> 00:30:25,134
request.

882
00:30:26,519 --> 00:30:26,769
but that's not how it happens

883
00:30:30,223 --> 00:30:30,473
So I I don't know if you guys go

884
00:30:33,793 --> 00:30:34,043
to those meetings or can talk

885
00:30:34,461 --> 00:30:34,711
to your delegates about that

886
00:30:38,031 --> 00:30:38,281
but I think we need one request

887
00:30:39,799 --> 00:30:40,049
so we can help all of them. I've

888
00:30:43,536 --> 00:30:43,786
had3 or4 now different chapters

889
00:30:44,270 --> 00:30:44,520
that have asked for cemetery

890
00:30:46,072 --> 00:30:46,322
improvement money and and I know

891
00:30:47,540 --> 00:30:47,790
you need it because the

892
00:30:49,843 --> 00:30:50,093
regulations have changed and

893
00:30:50,443 --> 00:30:50,693
there's no money that comes with

894
00:30:51,578 --> 00:30:51,828
that regulatory change

895
00:30:56,015 --> 00:30:56,265
so I would strongly suggest that

896
00:30:58,518 --> 00:30:58,768
maybe this committee can just

897
00:30:59,152 --> 00:30:59,402
work on that anyway

898
00:31:02,288 --> 00:31:02,538
but I don't want to jump the gun

899
00:31:04,090 --> 00:31:04,340
if the chapters have changed

900
00:31:06,025 --> 00:31:06,275
their priorities but I I know

901
00:31:07,560 --> 00:31:07,810
cemeteries are a big deal and

902
00:31:09,863 --> 00:31:10,113
I've had I've got at least4 now

903
00:31:10,563 --> 00:31:10,813
that want to see upgrade

904
00:31:14,033 --> 00:31:14,283
but I wanna cre appreciate you

905
00:31:15,769 --> 00:31:16,019
too and thank you for coming

906
00:31:17,804 --> 00:31:18,054
out. thanks for being partners

907
00:31:19,539 --> 00:31:19,789
in the trenches when it matters

908
00:31:21,508 --> 00:31:21,758
the most and anything I can do

909
00:31:22,175 --> 00:31:22,425
just ask me

910
00:31:28,882 --> 00:31:29,132

established

931
00:32:23,803 --> 00:32:24,053
ok so there's no land withdrawal

932
00:32:25,538 --> 00:32:25,788
that's been done. Yes or where

working on the you know

937
00:32:38,084 --> 00:32:38,334
acquiring that first

938
00:32:39,853 --> 00:32:40,103
we're going to start with the

939
00:32:43,556 --> 00:32:43,806
four acres you know right now we

940
00:32:46,059 --> 00:32:46,309
had it set for11 acres and we

941
00:32:48,061 --> 00:32:48,311
did get a land withdrawal done.

942
00:32:49,863 --> 00:32:50,113
it's going through right now and

943
00:32:50,530 --> 00:32:50,780
we have

944
00:32:53,566 --> 00:32:53,816

00:32:59,506 --> 00:32:59,756
cemetery there and it's on route

many miles down three miles down

977
00:34:09,776 --> 00:34:10,026
it's reverted back to11.5 and

978
00:34:12,245 --> 00:34:12,495
we're asking for access to the

979
00:34:14,247 --> 00:34:14,497
area and it's right along the

980
00:34:18,251 --> 00:34:18,501
line that gas line but it's

981
00:34:20,220 --> 00:34:20,470
not right in the area it's

982
00:34:21,988 --> 00:34:22,238
beside the area so we're going

983
00:34:23,723 --> 00:34:23,973
to have to ask for permission

984
00:34:26,059 --> 00:34:26,309
from the company there just

985
00:34:27,894 --> 00:34:28,144
little minor steps that we're

986
00:34:28,595 --> 00:34:28,845
still working on

987
00:34:29,763 --> 00:34:30,013
otherwise

988
00:34:34,000 --> 00:34:34,250

989
00:34:37,771 --> 00:34:38,021
it and the lady that is

990
00:34:38,705 --> 00:34:38,955
president for lupsy. she knows

991
00:34:39,372 --> 00:34:39,622
what she's doing

992
00:34:42,075 --> 00:34:42,325
that's her job and she's got a

993
00:34:44,043 --> 00:34:44,293
lot of experience with that so

994
00:34:46,279 --> 00:34:46,529
she's leading us through and

995
00:34:49,549 --> 00:34:49,799
I have the packet with me and I

996
00:34:50,250 --> 00:34:50,500
just as soon as I get the

997
00:34:51,751 --> 00:34:52,001
signatures from the young man

998
00:34:52,418 --> 00:34:52,668
we're on our way

999
00:34:56,322 --> 00:34:56,572
thank you and it's it's kind of

1000
00:34:57,991 --> 00:34:58,241
just letting our members know

1001
00:35:00,059 --> 00:35:00,309
too what we what our challenges

1002
00:35:01,795 --> 00:35:02,045
are within the chapter because

1003
00:35:04,297 --> 00:35:04,547
not every chapter has a cemetery

1004
00:35:07,834 --> 00:35:08,084
ours actually in hatchie's maxed

1005
00:35:09,836 --> 00:35:10,086
out and they did extend it but

1006
00:35:12,305 --> 00:35:12,555
with the upgrades to the burial

1007
00:35:15,608 --> 00:35:15,858
procedure it has to be fenced

1008
00:35:17,811 --> 00:35:18,061
and it has to have public access

1009
00:35:21,548 --> 00:35:21,798
is part of it so they didn't

1010
00:35:23,783 --> 00:35:24,033
say actually criteria for what

1011
00:35:24,417 --> 00:35:24,667
public access is I don't know

1012
00:35:27,854 --> 00:35:28,104
as far as grading the road

1013
00:35:28,421 --> 00:35:28,671
because I if that

1014
00:35:30,256 --> 00:35:30,506
because I know there are

1015
00:35:32,091 --> 00:35:32,341
restrictions when you go over

1016
00:35:33,793 --> 00:35:34,043
the gas line as far as grading

1017
00:35:34,494 --> 00:35:34,744
or any kind of road improvement

1018
00:35:37,730 --> 00:35:37,980
yeah it's very difficult

1019
00:35:41,835 --> 00:35:42,085
the water situation

1020
00:35:46,339 --> 00:35:46,589
it was interesting this morning

1021
00:35:48,007 --> 00:35:48,257
cause I was on my way to the

1022
00:35:49,576 --> 00:35:49,826
meeting here and they said it is

1023
00:35:51,811 --> 00:35:52,061
not just a it happens

1024
00:35:53,546 --> 00:35:53,796
periodically. how often does

1025
00:35:55,548 --> 00:35:55,798
that happen in what areas of the

1026
00:35:58,084 --> 00:35:58,334
twin lakes is happening at it

1027
00:35:59,786 --> 00:36:00,036
sounds like you guys are losing

1028
00:36:03,590 --> 00:36:03,840
water often well to answer

1029
00:36:04,190 --> 00:36:04,440
your question

1030
00:36:04,591 --> 00:36:04,841
chair

1031
00:36:07,627 --> 00:36:07,877
it happens

1032
00:36:10,563 --> 00:36:10,813
I would say more than

1033
00:36:12,332 --> 00:36:12,582
periodically we either have no

1034
00:36:14,234 --> 00:36:14,484
water or no electricity.

1035
00:36:18,371 --> 00:36:18,621
and it's only like a certain

1036
00:36:21,541 --> 00:36:21,791
section and I don't know if ours

1037
00:36:23,810 --> 00:36:24,060
we live in that area where it's

1038
00:36:24,477 --> 00:36:24,727
always been impacted

1039
00:36:26,079 --> 00:36:26,329
our neighbors would have water

1040
00:36:29,582 --> 00:36:29,832
neighborighs on the other side

1041
00:36:31,551 --> 00:36:31,801
would have water but I don't

1042
00:36:32,285 --> 00:36:32,535
know if our water tank is

1043
00:36:34,287 --> 00:36:34,537
connected withexican springs

1044
00:36:36,322 --> 00:36:36,572
when they're without water we

1045
00:36:38,291 --> 00:36:38,541
don't have water and that water

1046
00:36:40,226 --> 00:36:40,476
what the the area that I'm

1047
00:36:41,795 --> 00:36:42,045
talking about is if you know

1048
00:36:43,763 --> 00:36:44,013
where the chapter house is

1049
00:36:45,565 --> 00:36:45,815
straight down east from there

1050
00:36:47,567 --> 00:36:47,817
and you notice the housing there

1051
00:36:49,569 --> 00:36:49,819
and the elementary is just east

1052
00:36:52,005 --> 00:36:52,255
of Dda Headart is just east of

1053
00:36:52,672 --> 00:36:52,922
there yeah

1054
00:36:56,075 --> 00:36:56,325
Twin Lakes housing yeah just

1055
00:36:57,577 --> 00:36:57,827
it's that whole strip will have

1056
00:36:58,278 --> 00:36:58,528
no water

1057
00:37:02,248 --> 00:37:02,498
and if and if the power goes

1058
00:37:03,716 --> 00:37:03,966
out it's completely out a

1059
00:37:04,284 --> 00:37:04,534
blackout

1060
00:37:08,121 --> 00:37:08,371
and you just I mean people will

1061
00:37:10,089 --> 00:37:10,339
call me I will call NTUA and try

1062
00:37:11,758 --> 00:37:12,008
to get somebody get some

1063
00:37:13,760 --> 00:37:14,010
information really back to

1064
00:37:15,795 --> 00:37:16,045
the community residents

1065
00:37:17,797 --> 00:37:18,047
so NTUA is aware of it

1066
00:37:20,600 --> 00:37:20,850
we've been calling and calling

1067
00:37:21,234 --> 00:37:21,484
and

1068
00:37:26,005 --> 00:37:26,255
their answer is always your area

1069
00:37:28,341 --> 00:37:28,591
is not the only one affected all

1070
00:37:30,009 --> 00:37:30,259
these other areas so we'll

1071
00:37:32,011 --> 00:37:32,261
address it when we will address

1072
00:37:33,513 --> 00:37:33,763
it when we find a broken water

1073
00:37:34,214 --> 00:37:34,464
line

1074
00:37:37,884 --> 00:37:38,134
so you don't know if it's

1075
00:37:39,786 --> 00:37:40,036
actually a broken water line or

1076
00:37:42,021 --> 00:37:42,271
don't know we just report it you

1077
00:37:45,492 --> 00:37:45,742
just report it what happens

1078
00:37:47,494 --> 00:37:47,744
at the school do you know if

1079
00:37:48,228 --> 00:37:48,478
they don't have any water they

1080
00:37:50,029 --> 00:37:50,279
get water delivered water

1081
00:37:53,566 --> 00:37:53,816
bottles delivered and then they

1082
00:37:54,300 --> 00:37:54,550
also have

1083
00:37:56,369 --> 00:37:56,619
other alternative ways

1084
00:37:58,505 --> 00:37:58,755
for the restroom facility

1085
00:38:03,576 --> 00:38:03,826
or if worst comes to worst

1086
00:38:05,545 --> 00:38:05,795
the last thing they do I know

1087
00:38:06,279 --> 00:38:06,529
for a fact is they don't release

1088
00:38:09,516 --> 00:38:09,766
school any time during the

1089
00:38:10,316 --> 00:38:10,566
school day because they don't

1090
00:38:12,318 --> 00:38:12,568
know if anybody will be home to

1091
00:38:14,320 --> 00:38:14,570
receive the kits or even if they

1092
00:38:15,588 --> 00:38:15,838
have a key to get into their

1093
00:38:16,189 --> 00:38:16,439
house

1094
00:38:19,559 --> 00:38:19,809
it's better and safer for them

1095
00:38:21,528 --> 00:38:21,778
to stay at the school and I just

1096
00:38:23,530 --> 00:38:23,780
want members to know this is

1097
00:38:24,297 --> 00:38:24,547
this happens atchi too it

1098
00:38:26,299 --> 00:38:26,549
happened once a couple of years

1099
00:38:28,334 --> 00:38:28,584
at elementary you we have and

1100
00:38:30,270 --> 00:38:30,520
they told my kids that because

1101
00:38:32,272 --> 00:38:32,522
they couldn't get porta potties

1102
00:38:34,340 --> 00:38:34,590
they had to get on the bus and

1103
00:38:36,042 --> 00:38:36,292
go to Twinlakes to use the

1104
00:38:37,510 --> 00:38:37,760
restroom at one moment

1105
00:38:42,048 --> 00:38:42,298
so this is it's an issue I

1106
00:38:44,017 --> 00:38:44,267
and you have reached out

1107
00:38:45,785 --> 00:38:46,035
tonTwe ok

1108
00:38:49,956 --> 00:38:50,206
I'm I'm going to talk to our our

1109
00:38:51,791 --> 00:38:52,041
our public school company they

1110
00:38:53,960 --> 00:38:54,210
oversight task force and PED and

1111
00:38:55,829 --> 00:38:56,079
then we'll go from there too and

1112
00:38:58,331 --> 00:38:58,581
and the delegates

1113
00:39:02,035 --> 00:39:02,285
somebody from the nation's far

1114
00:39:03,603 --> 00:39:03,853
leadership are they aware

1115
00:39:06,539 --> 00:39:06,789
thelDAs or I think oh

1116
00:39:11,511 --> 00:39:11,761
thelAs are the ones that work

1117
00:39:14,013 --> 00:39:14,263
for council delegate that

1118
00:39:15,548 --> 00:39:15,798
because they they're the ones

1119
00:39:16,382 --> 00:39:16,632
attending the meetings and you

1120
00:39:18,284 --> 00:39:18,534
haven't spoken to a delegate

1121
00:39:20,220 --> 00:39:20,470
directly more than the delegate

1122
00:39:22,322 --> 00:39:22,572
because delegates always in

1123
00:39:23,990 --> 00:39:24,240
the window on those committee

1124
00:39:26,292 --> 00:39:26,542
meetings and all that so he

1125
00:39:29,729 --> 00:39:29,979
has 2 2lDAs that work under him

1126
00:39:31,564 --> 00:39:31,814
so they go to these meetings at

1127
00:39:33,900 --> 00:39:34,150
the local level can you have

1128
00:39:35,769 --> 00:39:36,019
something generated written

1129
00:39:36,469 --> 00:39:36,719
to the the members or to me and

1130
00:39:37,170 --> 00:39:37,420
then I'll

1131
00:39:40,140 --> 00:39:40,390
disseminate it to to our members

1132
00:39:40,807 --> 00:39:41,057
here

1133
00:39:44,010 --> 00:39:44,260
to read it over in that way

1134
00:39:46,312 --> 00:39:46,562
representatives here can also

1135
00:39:48,381 --> 00:39:48,631
take it up the line to our to

1136
00:39:51,484 --> 00:39:51,734
who we talk to too and get it

1137
00:39:53,520 --> 00:39:53,770
addressed cause I think it is in

1138
00:39:55,555 --> 00:39:55,805
especially when we talk about

1139
00:39:56,222 --> 00:39:56,472
our children

1140
00:39:57,791 --> 00:39:58,041
it should probably even go to

1141
00:39:59,793 --> 00:40:00,043
OEh in some instances because

1142
00:40:01,494 --> 00:40:01,744
I'm assuming that senior center

1143
00:40:03,530 --> 00:40:03,780
and that gets shut down when the

1144
00:40:04,330 --> 00:40:04,580
water pressures because you

1145
00:40:04,931 --> 00:40:05,181
can't have you can't

1146
00:40:12,005 --> 00:40:12,255
ok let me see the chapter I

1147
00:40:14,040 --> 00:40:14,290
know that the old chapter

1148
00:40:16,009 --> 00:40:16,259
house with the demolition you

1149
00:40:18,044 --> 00:40:18,294
need to report that to us to in

1150
00:40:19,779 --> 00:40:20,029
that process of where you're

1151
00:40:21,748 --> 00:40:21,998
standing because right now on my

1152
00:40:23,516 --> 00:40:23,766
list that I just received last

1153
00:40:26,019 --> 00:40:26,269
week that it says nobody's

1154
00:40:27,787 --> 00:40:28,037
reported anything and you guys

1155
00:40:28,521 --> 00:40:28,771
are under the red about where

1156
00:40:30,390 --> 00:40:30,640
the project stands so you need

1157
00:40:33,793 --> 00:40:34,043
to call our DFfa and let them

1158
00:40:35,562 --> 00:40:35,812
know where you guys are at in

1159
00:40:36,262 --> 00:40:36,512
the process so it reflects in

1160
00:40:36,896 --> 00:40:37,146
what

1161
00:40:40,033 --> 00:40:40,283
I receive or else will be in

1162
00:40:41,835 --> 00:40:42,085
trouble by the time the session

1163
00:40:44,003 --> 00:40:44,253
startsmorrow we're having a

1164
00:40:45,772 --> 00:40:46,022
leadership meeting tomorrow

1165
00:40:46,539 --> 00:40:46,789
morning at the chapter and

1166
00:40:48,241 --> 00:40:48,491
that's when the council delegate

1167
00:40:51,778 --> 00:40:52,028
and his LDA that's when we we

1168
00:40:52,445 --> 00:40:52,695
report to each others

1169
00:40:56,249 --> 00:40:56,499
and the officials so and yeah

1170
00:40:57,951 --> 00:40:58,201
they'll be that that will be on

1171
00:40:59,986 --> 00:41:00,236
the list yeah and I just want to

1172
00:41:02,288 --> 00:41:02,538
make sure too I mean I'm not

1173
00:41:04,023 --> 00:41:04,273
trying to because I know I

1174
00:41:06,025 --> 00:41:06,275
have other chapter leaders here

1175
00:41:09,496 --> 00:41:09,746
and community members here that

1176
00:41:10,196 --> 00:41:10,446
if we're not really aware of

1177
00:41:11,965 --> 00:41:12,215
the situation but we need

1178
00:41:14,267 --> 00:41:14,517
something in writing even when I

1179
00:41:15,769 --> 00:41:16,019
talked to my congressional

1180
00:41:16,369 --> 00:41:16,619
leaders especially when it's

1181
00:41:18,238 --> 00:41:18,488
like a federal road or something

1182
00:41:20,273 --> 00:41:20,523
is it's like yeah there's a

1183
00:41:20,874 --> 00:41:21,124
problem with this road

1184
00:41:23,743 --> 00:41:23,993
no it's not just because I'm

1185
00:41:25,645 --> 00:41:25,895
driving on it but I need a

1186
00:41:26,379 --> 00:41:26,629
community member to come forward

1187
00:41:28,348 --> 00:41:28,598
and put that in writing so I can

1188
00:41:30,383 --> 00:41:30,633
send it up and say this is an

1189
00:41:31,985 --> 00:41:32,235
issue coming from this person in

1190
00:41:33,753 --> 00:41:34,003
this community and that they're

1191
00:41:34,521 --> 00:41:34,771
not just thinking I'm trying to

1192
00:41:36,289 --> 00:41:36,539
do something that's easier for

1193
00:41:39,793 --> 00:41:40,043
me and to drive on to where I

1194
00:41:41,828 --> 00:41:42,078
drive or in any issue in that

1195
00:41:43,830 --> 00:41:44,080
sense so we need to receive that

1196
00:41:46,032 --> 00:41:46,282
in writing in that sense but

1197
00:41:48,101 --> 00:41:48,351
thank you for the work you do

1198
00:41:50,236 --> 00:41:50,486
and I believe that process to

1199
00:41:50,904 --> 00:41:51,154
that proposed process

1200
00:41:54,107 --> 00:41:54,357
was just recently proposed

1201
00:41:56,042 --> 00:41:56,292
but we're going back to to

1202
00:41:57,544 --> 00:41:57,794
make sure that you guys are

1203
00:41:59,779 --> 00:42:00,029
shovel ready in that sense but I

1204
00:42:01,514 --> 00:42:01,764
think it does, I don't think it

1205
00:42:02,248 --> 00:42:02,498
has been communicated to the

1206
00:42:04,517 --> 00:42:04,767
chapters yet because it seems

1207
00:42:07,854 --> 00:42:08,104
like it's coming top down and

1208
00:42:09,589 --> 00:42:09,839
then we'll go from there because

1209
00:42:11,558 --> 00:42:11,808
I do believe that Navajo Nation

1210
00:42:15,528 --> 00:42:15,778
areigrother has their process

1211
00:42:18,364 --> 00:42:18,614
that hurts our chapters and

1212
00:42:19,833 --> 00:42:20,083
they need to streamline it over

1213
00:42:20,533 --> 00:42:20,783
there and get their their ducks

1214
00:42:21,201 --> 00:42:21,451
in a row

1215
00:42:23,837 --> 00:42:24,087
and then let our our chapters

1216
00:42:24,504 --> 00:42:24,754
know

1217
00:42:26,072 --> 00:42:26,322
what's what's there but once

1218
00:42:28,108 --> 00:42:28,358
it's done it'll be communicated

1219
00:42:30,076 --> 00:42:30,326
out as soon as possible. I don't

1220
00:42:31,578 --> 00:42:31,828
know if you have any questions

1221
00:42:32,278 --> 00:42:32,528
for me. Oh, and the lighting

1222
00:42:35,515 --> 00:42:35,765
because I don't think you guys

1223
00:42:37,717 --> 00:42:37,967
ever had a school zone like

1224
00:42:40,019 --> 00:42:40,269
ever in that area. it was just a

1225
00:42:41,488 --> 00:42:41,738
safety corridor that was it.

1226
00:42:43,490 --> 00:42:43,740
Tohatchee does not have one

1227
00:42:44,090 --> 00:42:44,340
there's got

1228
00:42:46,025 --> 00:42:46,275
knocked down I think in an

1229
00:42:48,027 --> 00:42:48,277
accident or something but all

1230
00:42:50,029 --> 00:42:50,279
along for91, that's going to

1231
00:42:51,998 --> 00:42:52,248
be something I will will address

1232
00:42:55,568 --> 00:42:55,818
up and down49 because I

1233
00:42:56,035 --> 00:42:56,285
think new comes the other one

1234
00:43:00,273 --> 00:43:00,523
up and down there that needs

1235
00:43:03,576 --> 00:43:03,826
and even with the bus routes and

1236
00:43:04,244 --> 00:43:04,494
rockcksprings with the

1237
00:43:07,580 --> 00:43:07,830
because I do believetachi

1238
00:43:08,348 --> 00:43:08,598
changed her transportation route

1239
00:43:11,551 --> 00:43:11,801
so your school bus

1240
00:43:13,586 --> 00:43:13,836
transportation routes need to

1241
00:43:14,320 --> 00:43:14,570
make sure they're communicated

1242
00:43:15,789 --> 00:43:16,039
so that we know where that

1243
00:43:16,356 --> 00:43:16,606
zone's supposed to be how far

1244
00:43:17,056 --> 00:43:17,306
out

1245
00:43:20,059 --> 00:43:20,309
in that sense and I know we

1246
00:43:20,593 --> 00:43:20,843
did

1247
00:43:24,364 --> 00:43:24,614
I don't know if there's actually

1248
00:43:26,633 --> 00:43:26,883
needs to be a turnout extended

1249
00:43:29,602 --> 00:43:29,852
like they did at Chi Dodge

1250
00:43:30,136 --> 00:43:30,386
because we were having issues

1251
00:43:31,771 --> 00:43:32,021
right there on top of the hill

1252
00:43:33,573 --> 00:43:33,823
and you saw we extended that

1253
00:43:36,042 --> 00:43:36,292
lane out for for that traffic. I

1254
00:43:36,709 --> 00:43:36,959
don't know

1255
00:43:40,280 --> 00:43:40,530
how that but let's let's take

1256
00:43:42,482 --> 00:43:42,732
this further but thank you and

1257
00:43:44,083 --> 00:43:44,333
alluding to the turnout to the

1258
00:43:44,684 --> 00:43:44,934
elementary school needs to bewi.

1259
00:43:49,789 --> 00:43:50,039
we have two yeah big buses that

1260
00:43:51,591 --> 00:43:51,841
go in there and you can turn out

1261
00:43:52,392 --> 00:43:52,642
and then you wait for the

1262
00:43:55,562 --> 00:43:55,812
vehicles creates a congestion in

1263
00:43:56,262 --> 00:43:56,512
the mornings they told me

1264
00:43:57,864 --> 00:43:58,114
because I told them

1265
00:43:59,599 --> 00:43:59,849
tohachielementary was like that

1266
00:44:01,568 --> 00:44:01,818
and they said you're right it's

1267
00:44:02,602 --> 00:44:02,852
too narrow but I'm not sure what

1268
00:44:04,104 --> 00:44:04,354
we because that road right

1269
00:44:06,306 --> 00:44:06,556
there's a BIA road and that one

1270
00:44:07,874 --> 00:44:08,124
might be too right

1271
00:44:11,845 --> 00:44:12,095
to be ident yeah to the to the

1272
00:44:12,512 --> 00:44:12,762
housing ok

1273
00:44:15,782 --> 00:44:16,032
but that one was they did a

1274
00:44:17,784 --> 00:44:18,034
good job right there at Doy

1275
00:44:20,253 --> 00:44:20,503
dodge they completed it that's

1276
00:44:21,788 --> 00:44:22,038
yeah it's very safe and I like

1277
00:44:22,455 --> 00:44:22,705
it

1278
00:44:24,791 --> 00:44:25,041

00:44:33,566 --> 00:44:33,816
times but you guys are busy too

1284
00:44:36,336 --> 00:44:36,586

heavy equipment coming from

Gallup headed up north on491 so

1297
00:45:01,561 --> 00:45:01,811

1327

Gallup,

1328
00:49:04,938 --> 00:49:05,188
love my hometown I'd have to say

1329
00:49:05,605 --> 00:49:05,855
that's why I'm still here

1330
00:49:08,408 --> 00:49:08,658
good place to raise a family

1331
00:49:09,008 --> 00:49:09,258
fifth generation is here

1332
00:49:11,845 --> 00:49:12,095
One of these days we'll have a

1333
00:49:13,646 --> 00:49:13,896
sixthgeneration but right now I

1334
00:49:14,347 --> 00:49:14,597
have grand dogs

1335
00:49:18,351 --> 00:49:18,601
welcome welcome to Gallup.

1336
00:49:20,019 --> 00:49:20,269
we wanted to do a short

1337
00:49:21,855 --> 00:49:22,105
discussion on the Navajo Gallup

1338
00:49:22,522 --> 00:49:22,772
water supply project.

1339
00:49:25,792 --> 00:49:26,042
our mayor being the water

1340
00:49:27,627 --> 00:49:27,877
engineer that's been involved in

1341
00:49:29,562 --> 00:49:29,812
this since conception. I think

1342
00:49:30,563 --> 00:49:30,813
it'd be more appropriate for him

1343
00:49:31,831 --> 00:49:32,081
to talk about that. Then I've

1344
00:49:34,100 --> 00:49:34,350
also brought deborah Martinez

1345
00:49:35,869 --> 00:49:36,119
who runs our behavioral health

1346
00:49:38,338 --> 00:49:38,588
programs and I brought her in

1347
00:49:40,306 --> 00:49:40,556
so when we talked the unhoused

1348
00:49:41,941 --> 00:49:42,191
and housing initiatives

1349
00:49:45,845 --> 00:49:46,095
she she can give a deeper

1350
00:49:46,379 --> 00:49:46,629
background and answer more in

1351
00:49:48,081 --> 00:49:48,331
depth questions than I would be

1352
00:49:49,849 --> 00:49:50,099
able to. I know a little bit

1353
00:49:50,450 --> 00:49:50,700
about the city and every

1354
00:49:52,352 --> 00:49:52,602
component but we have experts

1355
00:49:54,287 --> 00:49:54,537
so'd like to turn it over to

1356
00:49:55,789 --> 00:49:56,039
Maor depaulli to talk about our

1357
00:49:56,489 --> 00:49:56,739
Navajo gallup

1358
00:50:00,059 --> 00:50:00,309
thanks rank then thanks again

1359
00:50:02,061 --> 00:50:02,311
for coming to madam chair and

1360
00:50:02,762 --> 00:50:03,012
everybody already gave an

1361
00:50:04,297 --> 00:50:04,547
introduction and welcome so

1362
00:50:06,065 --> 00:50:06,315
thenavel gallup project as you

1363
00:50:07,801 --> 00:50:08,051
guys know has been in the works

1364
00:50:11,604 --> 00:50:11,854
for over100 years1922 is when it

1365
00:50:12,272 --> 00:50:12,522
was first started and we're not

1366
00:50:13,573 --> 00:50:13,823
gonna go through all the

1367
00:50:14,307 --> 00:50:14,557
tribulations and stuff but it

1368
00:50:17,877 --> 00:50:18,127
was delayed in in 2019. the

1369
00:50:19,612 --> 00:50:19,862
delivery date was supposed to be

1370
00:50:22,081 --> 00:50:22,331
December31st,2024. that

1371
00:50:23,817 --> 00:50:24,067
delayed that data has been

1372
00:50:25,785 --> 00:50:26,035
delayed because of some some mac

1373
00:50:26,553 --> 00:50:26,803
operational things that that

1374
00:50:27,220 --> 00:50:27,470
would enhance the

1375
00:50:28,254 --> 00:50:28,504
project.

1376
00:50:31,558 --> 00:50:31,808
so right now the del delivery

1377
00:50:34,294 --> 00:50:34,544
date is set for about 2030.

1378
00:50:35,895 --> 00:50:36,145
hopefully by then the we'll

1379
00:50:37,564 --> 00:50:37,814
have the rest of the the water

1380
00:50:38,364 --> 00:50:38,614
treatment plant done and the the

1381
00:50:39,833 --> 00:50:40,083
water delivery facilities

1382
00:50:42,102 --> 00:50:42,352
installed and we'll be seeing

1383
00:50:44,104 --> 00:50:44,354
drinking water in gallup and

1384
00:50:45,839 --> 00:50:46,089
that means also all of our

1385
00:50:47,607 --> 00:50:47,857
neighbors to the north twin

1386
00:50:50,110 --> 00:50:50,360
Lakes of course Tohatchie and

1387
00:50:51,878 --> 00:50:52,128

through town but right now

1392
00:51:03,590 --> 00:51:03,840
we're still on groundwater and

1393
00:51:04,524 --> 00:51:04,774
we really appreciate all the the

1394
00:51:06,126 --> 00:51:06,376
help that the state has given us

1395
00:51:07,761 --> 00:51:08,011
by supplementing the delay in

1396
00:51:09,796 --> 00:51:10,046
the the compensating for the

1397
00:51:11,564 --> 00:51:11,814
delay and the delivery of the

1398
00:51:13,800 --> 00:51:14,050
surface water by giving us money

1399
00:51:15,535 --> 00:51:15,785
to drill wells so far we've

1400
00:51:17,604 --> 00:51:17,854
drilled about 6 wells and we

1401
00:51:18,338 --> 00:51:18,588
should have all three of those

1402
00:51:21,841 --> 00:51:22,091
equipped unfortunately

1403
00:51:23,843 --> 00:51:24,093
because of switch gear and

1404
00:51:24,444 --> 00:51:24,694
that's electrical switch gear

1405
00:51:27,814 --> 00:51:28,064
and and pumps we use the same

1406
00:51:28,448 --> 00:51:28,698
switch gear and pumps that they

1407
00:51:31,518 --> 00:51:31,768
use in the oil industry and when

1408
00:51:33,820 --> 00:51:34,070
oil's100 dollars a barrel

1409
00:51:35,588 --> 00:51:35,838
it's hard to get that those

1410
00:51:36,322 --> 00:51:36,572
companies to want even come to

1411
00:51:38,391 --> 00:51:38,641
gallup so we are having a little

1412
00:51:39,793 --> 00:51:40,043
bit of struggle getting our

1413
00:51:41,761 --> 00:51:42,011
water wells equipped with the

1414
00:51:42,429 --> 00:51:42,679
proper pumps and switch gear.

1415
00:51:46,099 --> 00:51:46,349
with that umc again should we

1416
00:51:46,699 --> 00:51:46,949
should have hopefully the I

1417
00:51:48,401 --> 00:51:48,651
think the water is on time to be

1418
00:51:49,903 --> 00:51:50,153
delivered so the surface water

1419
00:51:50,637 --> 00:51:50,887
should be here but in the

1420
00:51:51,638 --> 00:51:51,888
meantime we're still struggling

1421
00:51:52,305 --> 00:51:52,555
with groundwater

1422
00:51:55,642 --> 00:51:55,892
and if you do and if anybody has

1423
00:51:56,342 --> 00:51:56,592
any questions about thearbo

1424
00:51:57,644 --> 00:51:57,894
gallup or anything I'd be glad

1425
00:51:58,311 --> 00:51:58,561
to answer them.

1426
00:52:05,618 --> 00:52:05,868
Yeah let's go ahead and have you

1427
00:52:06,252 --> 00:52:06,502
all present and then we'll take

1428
00:52:06,986 --> 00:52:07,236
questions after so

1429
00:52:15,829 --> 00:52:16,079
Thank you vice chair.

1430
00:52:17,864 --> 00:52:18,114
attached you you we were giving

1431
00:52:18,565 --> 00:52:18,815
you several graphs

1432
00:52:21,668 --> 00:52:21,918
last winter

1433
00:52:25,705 --> 00:52:25,955
for the unhoused

1434
00:52:29,676 --> 00:52:29,926
ally gallup has a number

1435
00:52:33,980 --> 00:52:34,230
and

1436
00:52:35,915 --> 00:52:36,165
we were working to

1437
00:52:39,853 --> 00:52:40,103
I'm not plugged in sorry once

1438
00:52:41,554 --> 00:52:41,804
again we did a warming center

1439
00:52:43,590 --> 00:52:43,840
last winter. thank you very much

1440
00:52:45,625 --> 00:52:45,875
legislative council services

1441
00:52:46,226 --> 00:52:46,476
is always on top of things

1442
00:52:48,128 --> 00:52:48,378
we

1443
00:52:52,031 --> 00:52:52,281
had a warming center to try to

1444
00:52:55,602 --> 00:52:55,852
prevent exposure deaths

1445
00:52:57,871 --> 00:52:58,121
gallup traditionally has a large

1446
00:52:58,605 --> 00:52:58,855
number of exposure desks

1447
00:53:02,408 --> 00:53:02,658
it's it's not uncommon to see

1448
00:53:03,977 --> 00:53:04,227
subzero temperatures in Gallllup

1449
00:53:04,677 --> 00:53:04,927
during the wintertime.

1450
00:53:08,114 --> 00:53:08,364
so December 22nd through

1451
00:53:10,116 --> 00:53:10,366
February 28, we had a warming

1452
00:53:13,586 --> 00:53:13,836
center we leased a portion of a

1453
00:53:17,624 --> 00:53:17,874
motel provided daily ser

1454
00:53:20,126 --> 00:53:20,376
or evening services for them.

1455
00:53:20,827 --> 00:53:21,077
I'm not gonna say it was a

1456
00:53:21,361 --> 00:53:21,611
smooth

1457
00:53:27,934 --> 00:53:28,184
it it had some roadblocks

1458
00:53:29,636 --> 00:53:29,886
people wanting to bring alcohol

1459
00:53:32,238 --> 00:53:32,488
in weapons in some violence

1460
00:53:35,575 --> 00:53:35,825
so as we started we we had to

1461
00:53:36,276 --> 00:53:36,526
be equipped a little bit deeper

1462
00:53:36,976 --> 00:53:37,226
with security

1463
00:53:39,979 --> 00:53:40,229
and and other things to keep

1464
00:53:40,547 --> 00:53:40,797
staff safe

1465
00:53:44,684 --> 00:53:44,934
it it it we were hoping for

1466
00:53:46,352 --> 00:53:46,602
something smooth, appreciated,

1467
00:53:47,854 --> 00:53:48,104
I'm gonna say some families

1468
00:53:48,421 --> 00:53:48,671
did

1469
00:53:51,658 --> 00:53:51,908
it was troubling to see

1470
00:53:52,225 --> 00:53:52,475
having to see children

1471
00:53:52,692 --> 00:53:52,942
coming in

1472
00:53:53,726 --> 00:53:53,976
to it

1473
00:53:57,697 --> 00:53:57,947
so it it did serve its

1474
00:53:58,164 --> 00:53:58,414
purpose

1475
00:54:00,366 --> 00:54:00,616
but with not without

1476
00:54:02,035 --> 00:54:02,285
roadblocks and and that's

1477
00:54:02,669 --> 00:54:02,919
something that

1478
00:54:06,139 --> 00:54:06,389
the group that does take it this

1479
00:54:08,174 --> 00:54:08,424
next year if they want to. city

1480
00:54:09,576 --> 00:54:09,826
he'd be happy to be the fiscal

1481
00:54:11,578 --> 00:54:11,828
agent but we're asking

1482
00:54:13,813 --> 00:54:14,063
another group some some of

1483
00:54:14,447 --> 00:54:14,697
the groups that are wanting to

1484
00:54:15,882 --> 00:54:16,132
do cooling and warming centers

1485
00:54:16,583 --> 00:54:16,833
in the area

1486
00:54:18,184 --> 00:54:18,434
and are directly with the

1487
00:54:20,053 --> 00:54:20,303
unhoused already might already

1488
00:54:22,088 --> 00:54:22,338
have that expertise to to do it

1489
00:54:22,722 --> 00:54:22,972
more than what the city did.

1490
00:54:28,194 --> 00:54:28,444
again we provide services

1491
00:54:28,728 --> 00:54:28,978
we have

1492
00:54:32,065 --> 00:54:32,315
groups that that meet offer

1493
00:54:34,100 --> 00:54:34,350
services but when we're offering

1494
00:54:36,102 --> 00:54:36,352
services we're offering to to

1495
00:54:38,371 --> 00:54:38,621
external agencies we the city

1496
00:54:40,106 --> 00:54:40,356
itself doesn't do the direct

1497
00:54:40,740 --> 00:54:40,990
services

1498
00:54:42,475 --> 00:54:42,725
so we were stepping up on this

1499
00:54:43,143 --> 00:54:43,393
almost

1500
00:54:46,079 --> 00:54:46,329
expected to be more of a direct

1501
00:54:47,614 --> 00:54:47,864
service which we're not equipped

1502
00:54:49,883 --> 00:54:50,133
to do so we'd like to see

1503
00:54:50,450 --> 00:54:50,700
another one of the groups

1504
00:54:53,853 --> 00:54:54,103
take it but again they can't

1505
00:54:56,289 --> 00:54:56,539
really be the fiscal agent so I

1506
00:54:58,091 --> 00:54:58,341
I will offer the city services

1507
00:54:59,859 --> 00:55:00,109
to be that fiscal agent and help

1508
00:55:00,593 --> 00:55:00,843
coordinate the financing portion

1509
00:55:03,596 --> 00:55:03,846
but when it comes down to the

1510
00:55:05,799 --> 00:55:06,049
programming portion again we

1511
00:55:07,767 --> 00:55:08,017
would love to do intakes we

1512
00:55:08,401 --> 00:55:08,651
would love to help with the

1513
00:55:10,336 --> 00:55:10,586
referrals but we'd like to see

1514
00:55:11,004 --> 00:55:11,254
somebody who's equipped

1515
00:55:13,573 --> 00:55:13,823
dealing with all the

1516
00:55:15,809 --> 00:55:16,059
components of the unhoused to

1517
00:55:16,476 --> 00:55:16,726
actually do the services itself

1518
00:55:18,511 --> 00:55:18,761
so we don't want it to go away

1519
00:55:21,848 --> 00:55:22,098
but at the same time we don't

1520
00:55:23,583 --> 00:55:23,833
want to be the direct portion

1521
00:55:24,250 --> 00:55:24,500
because again safety for our

1522
00:55:24,918 --> 00:55:25,168
staff

1523
00:55:26,085 --> 00:55:26,335
and and then

1524
00:55:30,390 --> 00:55:30,640
we have knowledge but we're not

1525
00:55:32,325 --> 00:55:32,575
experts OK a lot of data

1526
00:55:34,093 --> 00:55:34,343
there for you and deb if you'd

1527
00:55:36,129 --> 00:55:36,379
like to talk about the the data

1528
00:55:41,534 --> 00:55:41,784
did a great job. again we we

1529
00:55:43,603 --> 00:55:43,853
do have these type of services

1530
00:55:46,339 --> 00:55:46,589
to to break down the data and

1531
00:55:47,006 --> 00:55:47,256
and to

1532
00:55:49,609 --> 00:55:49,859
I can't think of the name of

1533
00:55:50,276 --> 00:55:50,526
your

1534
00:55:53,847 --> 00:55:54,097
ro up that each of your grants

1535
00:55:54,514 --> 00:55:54,764
has to have that breaks the data

1536
00:55:55,181 --> 00:55:55,431
down

1537
00:55:58,284 --> 00:55:58,534
evaluate evaluator. we do have

1538
00:56:00,086 --> 00:56:00,336
those type of services so she

1539
00:56:00,720 --> 00:56:00,970
does a great job with the data

1540
00:56:04,090 --> 00:56:04,340
madam chairir committee

1541
00:56:06,559 --> 00:56:06,809
like we did we did a pilot

1542
00:56:08,094 --> 00:56:08,344
project with the emergency

1543
00:56:09,896 --> 00:56:10,146
shelter we contracted with

1544
00:56:12,265 --> 00:56:12,515
various programs they are

1545
00:56:14,300 --> 00:56:14,550
listed here we had

1546
00:56:17,804 --> 00:56:18,054
transport services we use the

1547
00:56:20,373 --> 00:56:20,623
hotel we gallupunity Health

1548
00:56:22,342 --> 00:56:22,592
was actually the ones operating

1549
00:56:24,377 --> 00:56:24,627
it but it took a lot of

1550
00:56:26,079 --> 00:56:26,329
manpower and you'll see some of

1551
00:56:26,746 --> 00:56:26,996
the recommendations out of of

1552
00:56:31,584 --> 00:56:31,834
the the warming shelter so we

1553
00:56:36,089 --> 00:56:36,339
had 292,971 intakes and out of

1554
00:56:38,591 --> 00:56:38,841
those there was 636 unique

1555
00:56:40,360 --> 00:56:40,610
individuals so you'll see split

1556
00:56:42,028 --> 00:56:42,278
it opened by population

1557
00:56:45,598 --> 00:56:45,848
and then the highest number of

1558
00:56:48,301 --> 00:56:48,551
stays there was 63 but you'll

1559
00:56:49,803 --> 00:56:50,053
see that a majority of the

1560
00:56:51,638 --> 00:56:51,888
people didn't stay less than5

1561
00:56:52,305 --> 00:56:52,555
days.

1562
00:56:55,909 --> 00:56:56,159
you'll see the population

1563
00:56:57,610 --> 00:56:57,860
we didn't break it down by the

1564
00:56:58,378 --> 00:56:58,628
time that we had got this going

1565
00:57:00,113 --> 00:57:00,363
it was kind of a last minute

1566
00:57:01,548 --> 00:57:01,798
thing it was an emergency

1567
00:57:04,150 --> 00:57:04,400
shelter 64% of the individuals

1568
00:57:06,219 --> 00:57:06,469
are from McKinley County. you'll

1569
00:57:08,321 --> 00:57:08,571
see the ethnicity the age range

1570
00:57:10,123 --> 00:57:10,373
and then the percentage of time

1571
00:57:12,091 --> 00:57:12,341
they were homelessness and then

1572
00:57:13,827 --> 00:57:14,077
which was interesting was the

1573
00:57:16,129 --> 00:57:16,379
barriers to housing a lot of

1574
00:57:17,564 --> 00:57:17,814
individuals had missing

1575
00:57:19,599 --> 00:57:19,849
documents had substance use

1576
00:57:21,634 --> 00:57:21,884
disorder, no housing for a large

1577
00:57:22,302 --> 00:57:22,552
families

1578
00:57:25,572 --> 00:57:25,822
access to services, access to

1579
00:57:26,606 --> 00:57:26,856
communication, no physical

1580
00:57:28,141 --> 00:57:28,391
mailing address, mental health

1581
00:57:29,509 --> 00:57:29,759
and rental prices

1582
00:57:39,652 --> 00:57:39,902
Thank you Deb we also do

1583
00:57:42,122 --> 00:57:42,372
outreach monthly where our

1584
00:57:44,324 --> 00:57:44,574
law enforcement fire, any

1585
00:57:45,792 --> 00:57:46,042
agency that wants to go along

1586
00:57:48,294 --> 00:57:48,544
with us and and then Deb's

1587
00:57:50,497 --> 00:57:50,747
department goes out and and

1588
00:57:53,600 --> 00:57:53,850
actually walks the ditches,

1589
00:57:56,102 --> 00:57:56,352
walks the area of traditional

1590
00:57:58,104 --> 00:57:58,354
unhoused locations a lot of our

1591
00:57:58,805 --> 00:57:59,055
transient camps and they go and

1592
00:57:59,472 --> 00:57:59,722
visit

1593
00:58:04,110 --> 00:58:04,360
and we we try to talk to him

1594
00:58:06,379 --> 00:58:06,629
build trust, offer services

1595
00:58:08,047 --> 00:58:08,297
find what the underlying causes

1596
00:58:10,350 --> 00:58:10,600
if it's housing how how can we

1597
00:58:12,385 --> 00:58:12,635
help refer you to to some place

1598
00:58:14,320 --> 00:58:14,570
to help with housing if it's

1599
00:58:15,889 --> 00:58:16,139
missing documents we we can help

1600
00:58:17,590 --> 00:58:17,840
to try to get him the documents

1601
00:58:19,559 --> 00:58:19,809
for substance abuse we can do

1602
00:58:20,326 --> 00:58:20,576
referrals but I'm gonna say

1603
00:58:22,395 --> 00:58:22,645
that's that's very difficult in

1604
00:58:23,897 --> 00:58:24,147
our area without mandatory

1605
00:58:28,034 --> 00:58:28,284
required

1606
00:58:29,936 --> 00:58:30,186
they they don't want to go

1607
00:58:30,570 --> 00:58:30,820
they don't wanna stay

1608
00:58:34,407 --> 00:58:34,657
we're we're finding that our

1609
00:58:37,677 --> 00:58:37,927
ditch roerco

1610
00:58:40,113 --> 00:58:40,363
the the river system is a haven

1611
00:58:45,852 --> 00:58:46,102
for the unhoused a lot of it

1612
00:58:46,486 --> 00:58:46,736
falls under state jurisdiction.

1613
00:58:48,354 --> 00:58:48,604
a lot of it falls under

1614
00:58:49,856 --> 00:58:50,106
Burlington Northern railroad

1615
00:58:51,858 --> 00:58:52,108
jurisdiction. some of it we have

1616
00:58:54,093 --> 00:58:54,343
no jurisdiction whatsoever so it

1617
00:58:57,630 --> 00:58:57,880
it becomes a a mecca for

1618
00:59:00,400 --> 00:59:00,650
prostitution for drugs used

1619
00:59:02,135 --> 00:59:02,385
to be alcohol which was easier

1620
00:59:03,837 --> 00:59:04,087
to deal with but now it's

1621
00:59:04,404 --> 00:59:04,654
fentanyl it's meth

1622
00:59:07,841 --> 00:59:08,091
it it it's it's getting deeper

1623
00:59:10,276 --> 00:59:10,526
I believe in the the mayor's

1624
00:59:11,978 --> 00:59:12,228
opening he talked about the

1625
00:59:12,512 --> 00:59:12,762
trafficking

1626
00:59:15,548 --> 00:59:15,798
and and it's amazing to hear how

1627
00:59:17,584 --> 00:59:17,834
many young girls that oh I just

1628
00:59:18,384 --> 00:59:18,634
had a ride into town and and and

1629
00:59:19,085 --> 00:59:19,335
they left me

1630
00:59:20,186 --> 00:59:20,436
that that's a cover

1631
00:59:24,057 --> 00:59:24,307
they're they're here they're

1632
00:59:26,059 --> 00:59:26,309
being they're being marketed

1633
00:59:28,094 --> 00:59:28,344
it's it's a sad and and it's

1634
00:59:29,863 --> 00:59:30,113
very difficult for us they

1635
00:59:30,463 --> 00:59:30,713
haven't committed a crime that

1636
00:59:32,298 --> 00:59:32,548
we know of. we know what's

1637
00:59:34,334 --> 00:59:34,584
happening but to prove it and

1638
00:59:35,802 --> 00:59:36,052
when they just tell you I'm I'm

1639
00:59:36,536 --> 00:59:36,786
here voluntarily I was left. I

1640
00:59:37,604 --> 00:59:37,854
don't want services

1641
00:59:40,373 --> 00:59:40,623
and they walk across the bridge

1642
00:59:42,108 --> 00:59:42,358
away from you and immediately

1643
00:59:44,110 --> 00:59:44,360
get picked up by somebody you

1644
00:59:45,578 --> 00:59:45,828
know they're being trafficked it

1645
00:59:46,279 --> 00:59:46,529
it it's it's a sad

1646
00:59:48,081 --> 00:59:48,331
sad step so

1647
00:59:51,818 --> 00:59:52,068
anything we can get for

1648
00:59:54,287 --> 00:59:54,537
mandatory treatment for those

1649
00:59:56,122 --> 00:59:56,372
that are not competent because

1650
00:59:56,790 --> 00:59:57,040
of the heavy drug use

1651
00:59:59,859 --> 01:00:00,109
or anything that can be helped

1652
01:00:00,493 --> 01:00:00,743
with

1653
01:00:04,364 --> 01:00:04,614
the the trafficking any laws

1654
01:00:04,931 --> 01:00:05,181
that you can do would be a great

1655
01:00:05,632 --> 01:00:05,882
help.

1656
01:00:08,067 --> 01:00:08,317
during these outreach this year

1657
01:00:08,735 --> 01:00:08,985
we're starting to collect deeper

1658
01:00:09,402 --> 01:00:09,652
data

1659
01:00:12,305 --> 01:00:12,555
one of them I brought was

1660
01:00:13,840 --> 01:00:14,090
where where the people are

1661
01:00:14,407 --> 01:00:14,657
coming from

1662
01:00:14,741 --> 01:00:14,991
so we did two

1663
01:00:17,844 --> 01:00:18,094
two so far August and September

1664
01:00:20,113 --> 01:00:20,363
for this fiscal year

1665
01:00:24,317 --> 01:00:24,567
these are low numbers

1666
01:00:27,620 --> 01:00:27,870
august we hit I believe

1667
01:00:30,056 --> 01:00:30,306
around50 some people the

1668
01:00:31,858 --> 01:00:32,108
September 1 we hit a little

1669
01:00:32,392 --> 01:00:32,642
over100

1670
01:00:35,795 --> 01:00:36,045
so it's it's not the best data

1671
01:00:37,564 --> 01:00:37,814
because of the small population

1672
01:00:38,364 --> 01:00:38,614
numbers but but you can see

1673
01:00:43,803 --> 01:00:44,053
where where the where the people

1674
01:00:45,638 --> 01:00:45,888
are coming from. In august

1675
01:00:46,239 --> 01:00:46,489
everybodydy talked to us it was

1676
01:00:48,274 --> 01:00:48,524
it was nice to hear and and you

1677
01:00:50,009 --> 01:00:50,259
can see the breakdown of of

1678
01:00:50,577 --> 01:00:50,827
where the people came from

1679
01:00:54,314 --> 01:00:54,564
Gallup might be over emphasized

1680
01:00:57,817 --> 01:00:58,067
um73% doesn't mean they're from

1681
01:00:58,551 --> 01:00:58,801
Gallup. We know Gallup has a new

1682
01:00:59,853 --> 01:01:00,103
meaning

1683
01:01:02,088 --> 01:01:02,338
people used to laugh when

1684
01:01:03,823 --> 01:01:04,073
they tell me they come from

1685
01:01:05,825 --> 01:01:06,075
Comato and I'm like ok which

1686
01:01:06,426 --> 01:01:06,676
direction

1687
01:01:08,061 --> 01:01:08,311
because there's not many people

1688
01:01:10,096 --> 01:01:10,346
in Comaro you know they live in

1689
01:01:12,031 --> 01:01:12,281
Apache Creek if they live east

1690
01:01:14,300 --> 01:01:14,550
ofummoto towards Dadl west north

1691
01:01:15,835 --> 01:01:16,085
they're from Comado even though

1692
01:01:17,904 --> 01:01:18,154
they're not inomado well that's

1693
01:01:18,571 --> 01:01:18,821
the same for gallup

1694
01:01:22,208 --> 01:01:22,458
September we we had a lot

1695
01:01:22,742 --> 01:01:22,992
refused to talk to us.

1696
01:01:25,879 --> 01:01:26,129
it's sad to see that that huge

1697
01:01:28,348 --> 01:01:28,598
left b block blue block just

1698
01:01:30,416 --> 01:01:30,666
refused to give us information

1699
01:01:31,751 --> 01:01:32,001
but we have people coming from

1700
01:01:32,418 --> 01:01:32,668
Texas

1701
01:01:34,087 --> 01:01:34,337
navajo Nation

1702
01:01:36,389 --> 01:01:36,639
Zunni, or

1703
01:01:41,628 --> 01:01:41,878
when I put arizona I don't put

1704
01:01:42,295 --> 01:01:42,545
the

1705
01:01:42,545 --> 01:01:42,795
chinnley

1706
01:01:45,832 --> 01:01:46,082
granato. I I count those as

1707
01:01:47,834 --> 01:01:48,084
Navonation. So this group from

1708
01:01:51,638 --> 01:01:51,888
that that 2% from arizona we're

1709
01:01:54,107 --> 01:01:54,357
talking Phoenix, Tucson, those

1710
01:01:55,875 --> 01:01:56,125
type of places and what we're

1711
01:01:56,476 --> 01:01:56,726
finding with a lot of those as

1712
01:01:58,378 --> 01:01:58,628
we talk to them they come to

1713
01:01:59,612 --> 01:01:59,862
gallup for treatment

1714
01:02:00,713 --> 01:02:00,963
or

1715
01:02:03,683 --> 01:02:03,933
they get on a bus

1716
01:02:06,119 --> 01:02:06,369
or they're kicked off a train

1717
01:02:09,622 --> 01:02:09,872
they can get intoxicated on the

1718
01:02:10,323 --> 01:02:10,573
train the next stop the train

1719
01:02:10,990 --> 01:02:11,240
stops

1720
01:02:11,891 --> 01:02:12,141
you're removed

1721
01:02:15,829 --> 01:02:16,079
they have a bus ticket and this

1722
01:02:17,897 --> 01:02:18,147
is as far as they get. we've

1723
01:02:18,498 --> 01:02:18,748
we've actually talked to some

1724
01:02:19,132 --> 01:02:19,382
people last year

1725
01:02:22,302 --> 01:02:22,552
several Africanericans it's like

1726
01:02:24,070 --> 01:02:24,320
hey what brought you to gallup?

1727
01:02:25,805 --> 01:02:26,055
It's like well we were going

1728
01:02:26,473 --> 01:02:26,723
west and this is as far as we

1729
01:02:27,107 --> 01:02:27,357
had money to get.

1730
01:02:29,876 --> 01:02:30,126
this was the bus stop that our

1731
01:02:30,543 --> 01:02:30,793
ticket ran out

1732
01:02:30,844 --> 01:02:31,094
here we are

1733
01:02:36,116 --> 01:02:36,366
that type of stuff we see

1734
01:02:37,550 --> 01:02:37,800
some that go to treatment

1735
01:02:39,853 --> 01:02:40,103
they either voluntarily say I'm

1736
01:02:40,487 --> 01:02:40,737
done with this because there's

1737
01:02:42,388 --> 01:02:42,638
no again no mandatory to

1738
01:02:44,090 --> 01:02:44,340
complete treatment they walk out

1739
01:02:46,226 --> 01:02:46,476
after 2 days,80 days whatever

1740
01:02:46,860 --> 01:02:47,110
they walk out

1741
01:02:49,896 --> 01:02:50,146
they don't have the money to get

1742
01:02:50,530 --> 01:02:50,780
back home

1743
01:02:53,867 --> 01:02:54,117
some of them actually graduate

1744
01:02:54,467 --> 01:02:54,717
from these programs

1745
01:02:57,737 --> 01:02:57,987
they don't have the money to go

1746
01:02:58,404 --> 01:02:58,654
back home

1747
01:03:00,106 --> 01:03:00,356
and unfortunately then we're

1748
01:03:00,774 --> 01:03:01,024
seeing

1749
01:03:02,275 --> 01:03:02,525
they graduate from these

1750
01:03:02,842 --> 01:03:03,092
programs

1751
01:03:05,812 --> 01:03:06,062
they don't have the housing they

1752
01:03:06,479 --> 01:03:06,729
don't have the workforce

1753
01:03:09,582 --> 01:03:09,832
they start the cycle all over

1754
01:03:11,618 --> 01:03:11,868
again we know if they end up

1755
01:03:12,285 --> 01:03:12,535
back in that real perco

1756
01:03:14,053 --> 01:03:14,303
within 30 days they're going to

1757
01:03:14,754 --> 01:03:15,004
be using again it's sad to say

1758
01:03:18,358 --> 01:03:18,608
the last giraffe is a much

1759
01:03:20,093 --> 01:03:20,343
better representation this is

1760
01:03:20,760 --> 01:03:21,010
well over1000 people.

1761
01:03:22,362 --> 01:03:22,612
these are the people done

1762
01:03:24,264 --> 01:03:24,514
intakes at NCI who come to NCI

1763
01:03:30,069 --> 01:03:30,319
and and when I say come tonCI we

1764
01:03:32,205 --> 01:03:32,455
do allow people come to NCI who

1765
01:03:32,906 --> 01:03:33,156
are clean

1766
01:03:36,142 --> 01:03:36,392
that need a place to stay for

1767
01:03:36,709 --> 01:03:36,959
the night, especially in the

1768
01:03:37,377 --> 01:03:37,627
cold months.

1769
01:03:40,346 --> 01:03:40,596
um, especially before we had the

1770
01:03:42,148 --> 01:03:42,398
warming shelter we allow them

1771
01:03:43,917 --> 01:03:44,167
to come if you're clean when you

1772
01:03:44,584 --> 01:03:44,834
come in and you're clean the

1773
01:03:45,218 --> 01:03:45,468
next morning

1774
01:03:45,952 --> 01:03:46,202
have a great day

1775
01:03:49,589 --> 01:03:49,839
you got a nice bed you got your

1776
01:03:50,256 --> 01:03:50,506
clothes washed showered, fed

1777
01:03:54,327 --> 01:03:54,577
and and you can go bo about your

1778
01:03:56,062 --> 01:03:56,312
life now if they are intoxicated

1779
01:03:57,597 --> 01:03:57,847
we do do72hoho tip

1780
01:04:04,053 --> 01:04:04,303
twelvehour and72 hour depending

1781
01:04:04,571 --> 01:04:04,821
on how many times they've been

1782
01:04:05,738 --> 01:04:05,988
to the facility in the last th30

1783
01:04:06,406 --> 01:04:06,656
days.

1784
01:04:09,909 --> 01:04:10,159
so so we have some that we hold

1785
01:04:10,543 --> 01:04:10,793
longer

1786
01:04:15,849 --> 01:04:16,099
this so this is much better data

1787
01:04:17,884 --> 01:04:18,134
and again Texas, Colorado

1788
01:04:18,451 --> 01:04:18,701
arizona

1789
01:04:21,588 --> 01:04:21,838
other portions of New Mexico

1790
01:04:23,623 --> 01:04:23,873
Navajo Nation Zunni

1791
01:04:25,859 --> 01:04:26,109
gallopingam merkel and then the

1792
01:04:27,660 --> 01:04:27,910
rema and when I sayRama it's

1793
01:04:29,996 --> 01:04:30,246
it's ramah pine hill area so you

1794
01:04:31,898 --> 01:04:32,148
know we're seeing a large number

1795
01:04:33,600 --> 01:04:33,850
and and this is where we're

1796
01:04:34,200 --> 01:04:34,450
we're asking you

1797
01:04:37,871 --> 01:04:38,121
we're we're funding NCI with

1798
01:04:39,639 --> 01:04:39,889
with the money that that we get

1799
01:04:40,340 --> 01:04:40,590
granted

1800
01:04:43,576 --> 01:04:43,826
we're we're looking for other

1801
01:04:45,578 --> 01:04:45,828
support this is a national

1802
01:04:46,579 --> 01:04:46,829
problem as you can see by the

1803
01:04:47,213 --> 01:04:47,463
other states

1804
01:04:49,682 --> 01:04:49,932
and it's anavajo nation problem

1805
01:04:53,586 --> 01:04:53,836
and it's a gallup problem so

1806
01:04:54,220 --> 01:04:54,470
working trying to work in

1807
01:04:55,588 --> 01:04:55,838
conjunction with all parties

1808
01:04:59,859 --> 01:05:00,109
so

1809
01:05:02,362 --> 01:05:02,612
it it it's just something I

1810
01:05:04,030 --> 01:05:04,280
wanted to to put on the table to

1811
01:05:06,332 --> 01:05:06,582
to see what we have and then

1812
01:05:06,966 --> 01:05:07,216
open that discussion

1813
01:05:08,435 --> 01:05:08,685
We do have gallup housing

1814
01:05:13,673 --> 01:05:13,923
authority who are doing the

1815
01:05:14,240 --> 01:05:14,490
the low income housing

1816
01:05:16,176 --> 01:05:16,426
great to see

1817
01:05:18,111 --> 01:05:18,361
they are maxed out

1818
01:05:20,480 --> 01:05:20,730
they have a long waiting list

1819
01:05:24,083 --> 01:05:24,333
they're now looking at working

1820
01:05:26,386 --> 01:05:26,636
towards the people who've timed

1821
01:05:28,121 --> 01:05:28,371
out within their program they've

1822
01:05:29,823 --> 01:05:30,073
been in the maximum number of

1823
01:05:32,125 --> 01:05:32,375
years months and and now they

1824
01:05:33,860 --> 01:05:34,110
have to move to the next level

1825
01:05:34,494 --> 01:05:34,744
housing workforce housing so

1826
01:05:36,062 --> 01:05:36,312
they're they're starting to look

1827
01:05:37,864 --> 01:05:38,114
at that and Gallllup is also

1828
01:05:38,498 --> 01:05:38,748
starting we have several

1829
01:05:40,667 --> 01:05:40,917
potential

1830
01:05:43,837 --> 01:05:44,087
residential sites where the city

1831
01:05:44,537 --> 01:05:44,787
of Gallup owns land

1832
01:05:48,174 --> 01:05:48,424
we would like to really start

1833
01:05:48,808 --> 01:05:49,058
turning that land into

1834
01:05:54,414 --> 01:05:54,664
the housing to start opening the

1835
01:05:55,081 --> 01:05:55,331
low rent housing

1836
01:05:58,651 --> 01:05:58,901
to some of these unhoused type

1837
01:06:01,921 --> 01:06:02,171
to to who qualify and start

1838
01:06:02,522 --> 01:06:02,772
taking those that are now aging

1839
01:06:03,189 --> 01:06:03,439
out

1840
01:06:06,459 --> 01:06:06,709
of the low income into the

1841
01:06:08,094 --> 01:06:08,344
workforce development,

1842
01:06:11,664 --> 01:06:11,914
tho those families as soon as

1843
01:06:12,298 --> 01:06:12,548
they age out where are they

1844
01:06:12,866 --> 01:06:13,116
going

1845
01:06:14,300 --> 01:06:14,550
Gallup doesn't have workforce

1846
01:06:14,934 --> 01:06:15,184
housing.

1847
01:06:17,771 --> 01:06:18,021
we have market rate housing

1848
01:06:20,206 --> 01:06:20,456
and the market rates in Gallup

1849
01:06:20,874 --> 01:06:21,124
are high.

1850
01:06:24,110 --> 01:06:24,360
so we'd like to build more of a

1851
01:06:25,612 --> 01:06:25,862
workforce smaller homes

1852
01:06:29,582 --> 01:06:29,832
we would love to do senior

1853
01:06:30,350 --> 01:06:30,600
we're building a new senior

1854
01:06:32,118 --> 01:06:32,368
center and we thank your

1855
01:06:33,820 --> 01:06:34,070
Department of Aging for

1856
01:06:34,621 --> 01:06:34,871
everything they've done for us.

1857
01:06:36,422 --> 01:06:36,672
It's it's fabulous. we're

1858
01:06:37,891 --> 01:06:38,141
looking at a grand opening in

1859
01:06:38,558 --> 01:06:38,808
November so we'll be sending

1860
01:06:39,225 --> 01:06:39,475
invites out

1861
01:06:41,895 --> 01:06:42,145
it's going to be a beautiful

1862
01:06:45,598 --> 01:06:45,848
center generator will

1863
01:06:47,567 --> 01:06:47,817
actually have an emergency

1864
01:06:49,602 --> 01:06:49,852
shelter for elderly therefore

1865
01:06:50,270 --> 01:06:50,520
when the power goes out

1866
01:06:52,372 --> 01:06:52,622
those type of things

1867
01:06:55,608 --> 01:06:55,858
we would love we own the land

1868
01:06:56,409 --> 01:06:56,659
across the street. we would love

1869
01:06:58,411 --> 01:06:58,661
to see senior housing because

1870
01:06:59,045 --> 01:06:59,295
we're seeing that's another need

1871
01:06:59,712 --> 01:06:59,962
also

1872
01:07:03,850 --> 01:07:04,100
so we were doing research we've

1873
01:07:05,852 --> 01:07:06,102
looked in Gunnison we've looked

1874
01:07:07,587 --> 01:07:07,837
at other places that have

1875
01:07:08,087 --> 01:07:08,337
presented to the International

1876
01:07:10,390 --> 01:07:10,640
cityity Manag's association who

1877
01:07:12,325 --> 01:07:12,575
are doing wonderful workforce

1878
01:07:15,628 --> 01:07:15,878
developing housing and how with

1879
01:07:16,296 --> 01:07:16,546
the startup money

1880
01:07:18,198 --> 01:07:18,448
they then can take over

1881
01:07:22,402 --> 01:07:22,652
with their revenue to escalate

1882
01:07:25,605 --> 01:07:25,855
it and continue it for for the

1883
01:07:26,372 --> 01:07:26,622
initial investment. So we're

1884
01:07:28,374 --> 01:07:28,624
doing that research and we will

1885
01:07:30,043 --> 01:07:30,293
be applying to all the available

1886
01:07:31,845 --> 01:07:32,095
programs both state and

1887
01:07:34,147 --> 01:07:34,397
federally to get us that seed

1888
01:07:36,082 --> 01:07:36,332
money to build the first complex

1889
01:07:39,619 --> 01:07:39,869
type thing and then move we're

1890
01:07:40,320 --> 01:07:40,570
also working with some

1891
01:07:42,122 --> 01:07:42,372
behavioral health agencies as I

1892
01:07:42,822 --> 01:07:43,072
said they you go for addiction

1893
01:07:45,859 --> 01:07:46,109
you come out clean in 90 days?

1894
01:07:50,130 --> 01:07:50,380
where do you go? Nobody has the

1895
01:07:52,365 --> 01:07:52,615
transitional housing where to go

1896
01:07:54,400 --> 01:07:54,650
so we are talking with some of

1897
01:07:55,802 --> 01:07:56,052
them we just met with our

1898
01:07:57,637 --> 01:07:57,887
Corners new staff. they have a

1899
01:08:00,140 --> 01:08:00,390
new CEO and we met with them a

1900
01:08:02,175 --> 01:08:02,425
couple weeks ago and and and I

1901
01:08:03,576 --> 01:08:03,826
pitched the idea wed pitched it

1902
01:08:04,344 --> 01:08:04,594
to him last year there was some

1903
01:08:06,079 --> 01:08:06,329
momentum excitement then they

1904
01:08:08,114 --> 01:08:08,364
changed people and it was quiet

1905
01:08:08,782 --> 01:08:09,032
during the last legislative

1906
01:08:10,116 --> 01:08:10,366
season. I didn't want to come

1907
01:08:12,352 --> 01:08:12,602
ask for anything not knowing if

1908
01:08:14,087 --> 01:08:14,337
it was wanted or not this year

1909
01:08:15,622 --> 01:08:15,872
it looks like it's gonna be

1910
01:08:16,156 --> 01:08:16,406
wanted they would love to build

1911
01:08:16,823 --> 01:08:17,073
a

1912
01:08:19,626 --> 01:08:19,876
transitional one year housing so

1913
01:08:20,393 --> 01:08:20,643
as they graduate from these

1914
01:08:22,095 --> 01:08:22,345
treatment centers they can move

1915
01:08:22,796 --> 01:08:23,046
into group housing

1916
01:08:25,598 --> 01:08:25,848
and in that group housing they

1917
01:08:26,566 --> 01:08:26,816
have the camaraderie they have

1918
01:08:28,301 --> 01:08:28,551
the counseling a place where the

1919
01:08:29,002 --> 01:08:29,252
PO can meet with them

1920
01:08:31,805 --> 01:08:32,055
they have the individual

1921
01:08:33,907 --> 01:08:34,157
counseling but more importantly

1922
01:08:36,309 --> 01:08:36,559
we can offer them a set location

1923
01:08:38,278 --> 01:08:38,528
for the public transportation,

1924
01:08:40,313 --> 01:08:40,563
working with other agencies to

1925
01:08:41,815 --> 01:08:42,065
get them into workforce

1926
01:08:43,850 --> 01:08:44,100
development. give them that one

1927
01:08:45,819 --> 01:08:46,069
year of clean life, building

1928
01:08:47,921 --> 01:08:48,171
skills to where they graduate

1929
01:08:48,555 --> 01:08:48,805
that next year

1930
01:08:51,057 --> 01:08:51,307
hopefully they've got a small

1931
01:08:52,091 --> 01:08:52,341
next stake to go where they want

1932
01:08:54,294 --> 01:08:54,544
whether it's back home whether

1933
01:08:56,129 --> 01:08:56,379
it's here and then to live clean

1934
01:09:00,366 --> 01:09:00,616
in in the next transition

1935
01:09:01,701 --> 01:09:01,951
without having to go back on the

1936
01:09:02,335 --> 01:09:02,585
street

1937
01:09:04,237 --> 01:09:04,487
and and and start the cycle over

1938
01:09:07,640 --> 01:09:07,890
so those are some of the things

1939
01:09:08,374 --> 01:09:08,624
that we're looking at doing

1940
01:09:10,343 --> 01:09:10,593
we're we're excited about and

1941
01:09:12,145 --> 01:09:12,395
we're starting to get other

1942
01:09:14,080 --> 01:09:14,330
agencies to look with us and I

1943
01:09:16,149 --> 01:09:16,399
think that's important. City

1944
01:09:17,884 --> 01:09:18,134
can't do it by herself. The

1945
01:09:19,586 --> 01:09:19,836
outside agencies can't do it by

1946
01:09:20,220 --> 01:09:20,470
theirsel but with good

1947
01:09:20,687 --> 01:09:20,937
partnerships I think we're going

1948
01:09:21,354 --> 01:09:21,604
to get there

1949
01:09:24,157 --> 01:09:24,407
so we would all love to stand

1950
01:09:24,824 --> 01:09:25,074
for questions

1951
01:09:28,161 --> 01:09:28,411
thank you memberspresentative

1952
01:09:28,828 --> 01:09:29,078
Luundstone

1953
01:09:31,564 --> 01:09:31,814
thank you madam chair and I'd

1954
01:09:33,600 --> 01:09:33,850
like to thank the panel this

1955
01:09:34,334 --> 01:09:34,584
morning for being here. A

1956
01:09:35,769 --> 01:09:36,019
coupleup of questions that I did

1957
01:09:38,304 --> 01:09:38,554
have in august we had a joint

1958
01:09:39,839 --> 01:09:40,089
committee hearing federal funds

1959
01:09:40,507 --> 01:09:40,757
stabilization with the health

1960
01:09:41,174 --> 01:09:41,424
committee

1961
01:09:44,077 --> 01:09:44,327
that was over at the county

1962
01:09:46,045 --> 01:09:46,295
and it's interesting to listen

1963
01:09:48,014 --> 01:09:48,264
about how we need other

1964
01:09:50,016 --> 01:09:50,266
support regre regarding some of

1965
01:09:52,018 --> 01:09:52,268
these services for the homeless

1966
01:09:54,320 --> 01:09:54,570
and behavioral health services

1967
01:09:55,889 --> 01:09:56,139
one of the issues that was

1968
01:09:57,857 --> 01:09:58,107
brought up and actually being

1969
01:09:59,526 --> 01:09:59,776
initiated by some of the members

1970
01:10:01,795 --> 01:10:02,045
of this committee is asking for

1971
01:10:02,429 --> 01:10:02,679
an increase in alcohol tax.

1972
01:10:07,634 --> 01:10:07,884
and I'm asking you guys don't

1973
01:10:08,334 --> 01:10:08,584
have to tell me now what you

1974
01:10:09,869 --> 01:10:10,119
think about it but obviously

1975
01:10:10,503 --> 01:10:10,753
I'll want to know before the

1976
01:10:13,573 --> 01:10:13,823
session starts where does the

1977
01:10:15,842 --> 01:10:16,092
city stand on increase for

1978
01:10:18,044 --> 01:10:18,294
alcohol tax to try to get some

1979
01:10:20,079 --> 01:10:20,329
of these things dealt with as

1980
01:10:21,815 --> 01:10:22,065
I've mentioned in that committee

1981
01:10:24,117 --> 01:10:24,367
hearing, McKinley County already

1982
01:10:25,885 --> 01:10:26,135
has a liquor excise tax at5%.

1983
01:10:29,589 --> 01:10:29,839
what this bill is calling for as

1984
01:10:32,025 --> 01:10:32,275
an additional5% on top of that

1985
01:10:32,759 --> 01:10:33,009
and

1986
01:10:35,595 --> 01:10:35,845
the important thing to remember

1987
01:10:36,396 --> 01:10:36,646
though is that it is

1988
01:10:38,598 --> 01:10:38,848
considerable increase in money

1989
01:10:40,366 --> 01:10:40,616
coming back to Mcinley County.

1990
01:10:42,335 --> 01:10:42,585
You get about a million dollars

1991
01:10:45,805 --> 01:10:46,055
in liquor excise tax now but if

1992
01:10:46,506 --> 01:10:46,756
this additional tax was included

1993
01:10:50,343 --> 01:10:50,593
what I saw on that chart was

1994
01:10:52,011 --> 01:10:52,261
about 2 million that comes back

1995
01:10:53,813 --> 01:10:54,063
to the county for services.

1996
01:10:54,414 --> 01:10:54,664
obviouslybviously the city too

1997
01:10:57,584 --> 01:10:57,834
but I need to know where you

1998
01:10:59,552 --> 01:10:59,802
stand. I haven't voted for that

1999
01:11:00,286 --> 01:11:00,536
bill and I serve on the tax

2000
01:11:01,821 --> 01:11:02,071
committee. I haven't voted for

2001
01:11:03,623 --> 01:11:03,873
it the last two times, but I

2002
01:11:04,224 --> 01:11:04,474
need to know where we are on

2003
01:11:06,292 --> 01:11:06,542
this I know we're going to

2004
01:11:08,061 --> 01:11:08,311
have a separate meeting with the

2005
01:11:09,796 --> 01:11:10,046
chamber. they're going to have a

2006
01:11:11,598 --> 01:11:11,848
separate legislative meeting

2007
01:11:12,232 --> 01:11:12,482
with all of its local

2008
01:11:13,600 --> 01:11:13,850
legislators. I don't know if

2009
01:11:15,835 --> 01:11:16,085
this will be an issue or not but

2010
01:11:16,569 --> 01:11:16,819
I think it's important for the

2011
01:11:18,138 --> 01:11:18,388
members of this committee as you

2012
01:11:18,838 --> 01:11:19,088
see who who's here

2013
01:11:22,075 --> 01:11:22,325
where do you guys stand on

2014
01:11:24,043 --> 01:11:24,293
this? We don't we don't have to

2015
01:11:26,112 --> 01:11:26,362
answer it today but we will need

2016
01:11:26,813 --> 01:11:27,063
to know before the beginning of

2017
01:11:27,514 --> 01:11:27,764
the session

2018
01:11:31,785 --> 01:11:32,035
the other question I had is

2019
01:11:33,586 --> 01:11:33,836
regarding the Navajo Gallup

2020
01:11:34,320 --> 01:11:34,570
water supply project as the

2021
01:11:36,356 --> 01:11:36,606
mayor knows, I have a long long

2022
01:11:39,559 --> 01:11:39,809
history with that project and

2023
01:11:40,160 --> 01:11:40,410
I'd like to ask

2024
01:11:43,630 --> 01:11:43,880
is the proportional cost

2025
01:11:48,134 --> 01:11:48,384
allocated to the s so the the

2026
01:11:50,103 --> 01:11:50,353
cost of the pipeline. it's one

2027
01:11:50,703 --> 01:11:50,953
project with two major pipelines

2028
01:11:54,374 --> 01:11:54,624
so I'm curious is the hickoria

2029
01:11:55,008 --> 01:11:55,258
site open now? iss it up and

2030
01:11:55,575 --> 01:11:55,825
running?

2031
01:12:00,346 --> 01:12:00,596
ma'am OK. so hickory is up and

2032
01:12:02,048 --> 01:12:02,298
running because the state of New

2033
01:12:04,050 --> 01:12:04,300
Mexico has put considerable

2034
01:12:07,554 --> 01:12:07,804
money in this project as match

2035
01:12:08,321 --> 01:12:08,571
you know we have the Indian

2036
01:12:10,323 --> 01:12:10,573
water rights piece in the in the

2037
01:12:12,392 --> 01:12:12,642
budget and we've put a lot of

2038
01:12:13,893 --> 01:12:14,143
money through the New Mexico

2039
01:12:14,527 --> 01:12:14,777
finance Authority through the

2040
01:12:16,129 --> 01:12:16,379
waterterrust board through

2041
01:12:16,696 --> 01:12:16,946
Capital outlay

2042
01:12:19,799 --> 01:12:20,049
to try to offset the match

2043
01:12:21,601 --> 01:12:21,851
that's required by the feds I

2044
01:12:23,570 --> 01:12:23,820
know the city's match is75

2045
01:12:26,072 --> 01:12:26,322
million but we have also tried

2046
01:12:29,843 --> 01:12:30,093
to help with with state funds my

2047
01:12:32,112 --> 01:12:32,362
my question is then have we

2048
01:12:33,613 --> 01:12:33,863
resolved all the match

2049
01:12:34,080 --> 01:12:34,330
requirement for

2050
01:12:40,086 --> 01:12:40,336
madam chair andpresentative

2051
01:12:42,355 --> 01:12:42,605
Lumstrom so the way that the

2052
01:12:44,624 --> 01:12:44,874
project works is that there was

2053
01:12:47,827 --> 01:12:48,077
a repayment contract required

2054
01:12:49,562 --> 01:12:49,812
for hickoryia and for the city

2055
01:12:51,564 --> 01:12:51,814
of Gallup but the biggest part

2056
01:12:52,365 --> 01:12:52,615
of the whole project was the

2057
01:12:54,334 --> 01:12:54,584
settlement amount of50 million

2058
01:12:56,069 --> 01:12:56,319
dollars that the city that the

2059
01:12:56,703 --> 01:12:56,953
state of New Mexico was to pay

2060
01:13:00,106 --> 01:13:00,356
so all of the initial monies

2061
01:13:01,808 --> 01:13:02,058
from the waterrust board there

2062
01:13:03,576 --> 01:13:03,826
was actually some cash and some

2063
01:13:04,277 --> 01:13:04,527
other grant monies that went

2064
01:13:05,879 --> 01:13:06,129
into the project be it for

2065
01:13:08,348 --> 01:13:08,598
actual capitalX projects or cash

2066
01:13:10,083 --> 01:13:10,333
went to the state of New

2067
01:13:12,385 --> 01:13:12,635
Mexico's portion and that was

2068
01:13:15,555 --> 01:13:15,805
that was satisfied in about

2069
01:13:17,857 --> 01:13:18,107
2017. Since then the rest of the

2070
01:13:19,592 --> 01:13:19,842
monies have been applied either

2071
01:13:21,594 --> 01:13:21,844
to hickoria for their their cost

2072
01:13:22,262 --> 01:13:22,512
what they call their obligation

2073
01:13:25,865 --> 01:13:26,115
or or the city of gallups

2074
01:13:27,600 --> 01:13:27,850
from what from what I understand

2075
01:13:28,435 --> 01:13:28,685
everything on part of the

2076
01:13:30,069 --> 01:13:30,319
hickorya has been satisfied and

2077
01:13:31,571 --> 01:13:31,821
they are in some type of

2078
01:13:34,107 --> 01:13:34,357
repayment contract to make

2079
01:13:36,376 --> 01:13:36,626
sure they repay and thanks to

2080
01:13:38,378 --> 01:13:38,628
all of our congressmen and the

2081
01:13:39,846 --> 01:13:40,096
administ the current

2082
01:13:41,848 --> 01:13:42,098
administration we have a76

2083
01:13:44,083 --> 01:13:44,333
million dollars cost cap because

2084
01:13:46,319 --> 01:13:46,569
of the delay the project went

2085
01:13:48,121 --> 01:13:48,371
from about what we thought would

2086
01:13:50,156 --> 01:13:50,406
be about1.1 billion it's almost

2087
01:13:51,825 --> 01:13:52,075
over 2.3 and of course the

2088
01:13:52,392 --> 01:13:52,642
city's port

2089
01:13:54,594 --> 01:13:54,844
ion of that is is an average of

2090
01:13:59,833 --> 01:14:00,083
about 8%. and so that's a lot

2091
01:14:01,835 --> 01:14:02,085
of money for a town for a small

2092
01:14:03,837 --> 01:14:04,087
town topa so we do have our cost

2093
01:14:06,639 --> 01:14:06,889
gap and we have an any since the

2094
01:14:08,108 --> 01:14:08,358
state's obligation has been met

2095
01:14:09,576 --> 01:14:09,826
any monies that go into the

2096
01:14:11,845 --> 01:14:12,095
Navajo Gallup project. so far we

2097
01:14:13,546 --> 01:14:13,796
have another 8 million coming

2098
01:14:15,615 --> 01:14:15,865
from waterrust board and we

2099
01:14:16,416 --> 01:14:16,666
anticipate another 8 or10

2100
01:14:17,851 --> 01:14:18,101
million for the pumping plant

2101
01:14:18,618 --> 01:14:18,868
each will will be the final

2102
01:14:21,621 --> 01:14:21,871
component of the city system we

2103
01:14:22,288 --> 01:14:22,538
should get full credit for those

2104
01:14:22,989 --> 01:14:23,239
and that'll go

2105
01:14:24,557 --> 01:14:24,807
toward our76 million dollars

2106
01:14:26,092 --> 01:14:26,342
match which should

2107
01:14:29,829 --> 01:14:30,079
finalize all the city's money

2108
01:14:31,598 --> 01:14:31,848
now we do have a loan

2109
01:14:33,600 --> 01:14:33,850
obligations we did get through

2110
01:14:35,835 --> 01:14:36,085
the waterrust board 6040 loans

2111
01:14:36,603 --> 01:14:36,853
so we have about18 million

2112
01:14:39,572 --> 01:14:39,822
dollars in loans we are repaying

2113
01:14:41,608 --> 01:14:41,858
at a much lower percentage rate

2114
01:14:42,375 --> 01:14:42,625
than the federal government the

2115
01:14:44,344 --> 01:14:44,594
federal government's about4% the

2116
01:14:46,312 --> 01:14:46,562
state of New Mexico is about 25%

2117
01:14:48,314 --> 01:14:48,564
so it is a no brainer what we

2118
01:14:50,383 --> 01:14:50,633
did on those so the only the

2119
01:14:51,050 --> 01:14:51,300
only last piece of the puzzle

2120
01:14:54,554 --> 01:14:54,804
is what they call interest

2121
01:14:56,055 --> 01:14:56,305
during construction and that is

2122
01:14:59,559 --> 01:14:59,809
a what this federal government

2123
01:15:01,828 --> 01:15:02,078
charges all the participants

2124
01:15:03,563 --> 01:15:03,813
during the construction portion

2125
01:15:05,598 --> 01:15:05,848
of the project it's not interest

2126
01:15:06,299 --> 01:15:06,549
on loan it's it's interest

2127
01:15:07,901 --> 01:15:08,151
during construction so that

2128
01:15:09,602 --> 01:15:09,852
component is the last thing that

2129
01:15:10,336 --> 01:15:10,586
we are negotiating. We don't

2130
01:15:12,439 --> 01:15:12,689
know if the76 million dollars

2131
01:15:14,073 --> 01:15:14,323
includes the interest during

2132
01:15:15,875 --> 01:15:16,125
construction I'm looking at

2133
01:15:16,443 --> 01:15:16,693
Frank because he's the onen

2134
01:15:18,378 --> 01:15:18,628
working on it or if it's gonna

2135
01:15:19,612 --> 01:15:19,862
or if that's gonna be in charge

2136
01:15:20,346 --> 01:15:20,596
to addition so that's the last

2137
01:15:21,714 --> 01:15:21,964
component that we're worried

2138
01:15:22,282 --> 01:15:22,532
about

2139
01:15:23,349 --> 01:15:23,599
p re s ent ative Lunstrom

2140
01:15:26,119 --> 01:15:26,369
so madam Chair, does that

2141
01:15:29,589 --> 01:15:29,839
mean at least the city's

2142
01:15:32,559 --> 01:15:32,809
responsibility of 676 million is

2143
01:15:35,595 --> 01:15:35,845
resolved it's resolved except

2144
01:15:36,229 --> 01:15:36,479
for the the interest or in

2145
01:15:38,098 --> 01:15:38,348
construction and that interest

2146
01:15:40,400 --> 01:15:40,650
would be at at a4% on the

2147
01:15:41,835 --> 01:15:42,085
remaining components of

2148
01:15:44,104 --> 01:15:44,354
construction which is about

2149
01:15:49,576 --> 01:15:49,826
about $6600 million so that

2150
01:15:51,845 --> 01:15:52,095
has not been resolved yet. We

2151
01:15:52,612 --> 01:15:52,862
still need to with our repayment

2152
01:15:53,246 --> 01:15:53,496
contract our revised re

2153
01:15:55,815 --> 01:15:56,065
pa y ment contract come up with

2154
01:15:58,151 --> 01:15:58,401
a plan and a formula of how we

2155
01:15:58,852 --> 01:15:59,102
will be addressing the interest

2156
01:15:59,519 --> 01:15:59,769
during construction

2157
01:16:01,888 --> 01:16:02,138
and that an interest in

2158
01:16:02,355 --> 01:16:02,605
construction is an elaborate

2159
01:16:05,592 --> 01:16:05,842
thing that the federal

2160
01:16:06,359 --> 01:16:06,609
government came up with 100

2161
01:16:07,861 --> 01:16:08,111
years ago with the bureau of

2162
01:16:09,596 --> 01:16:09,846
reclamation since they built the

2163
01:16:10,296 --> 01:16:10,546
Hooveramm

2164
01:16:13,800 --> 01:16:14,050
p re s ent ed Lonestrom if if I

2165
01:16:14,434 --> 01:16:14,684
can add

2166
01:16:17,570 --> 01:16:17,820
luckily we've minimized gallup's

2167
01:16:18,271 --> 01:16:18,521
interest during

2168
01:16:22,008 --> 01:16:22,258
we've

2169
01:16:22,842 --> 01:16:23,092
we've

2170
01:16:23,943 --> 01:16:24,193
prepaid

2171
01:16:28,681 --> 01:16:28,931
most of ours so as as we get the

2172
01:16:30,316 --> 01:16:30,566
waterru board as as we're

2173
01:16:32,085 --> 01:16:32,335
building we're making those

2174
01:16:34,354 --> 01:16:34,604
payments so they can't try to

2175
01:16:36,022 --> 01:16:36,272
charge us interest when we're

2176
01:16:36,656 --> 01:16:36,906
paying

2177
01:16:39,859 --> 01:16:40,109
going through so we've

2178
01:16:42,362 --> 01:16:42,612
minimized ours our component.

2179
01:16:45,832 --> 01:16:46,082
So really126 million of that 2.1

2180
01:16:47,834 --> 01:16:48,084
billion is going to be coming

2181
01:16:49,569 --> 01:16:49,819
from either gallup or the state

2182
01:16:51,604 --> 01:16:51,854
of New Mexico so I think when

2183
01:16:52,338 --> 01:16:52,588
you look at the cost

2184
01:16:54,107 --> 01:16:54,357
proportionate of the number of

2185
01:16:56,109 --> 01:16:56,359
lines and such I think we're

2186
01:16:58,144 --> 01:16:58,394
coming out pretty fair yeah

2187
01:16:59,779 --> 01:17:00,029
we're coming up very fair.

2188
01:17:02,115 --> 01:17:02,365
I I will speak for our

2189
01:17:04,417 --> 01:17:04,667
surrounding area though we we

2190
01:17:06,052 --> 01:17:06,302
really need to stay on the

2191
01:17:06,619 --> 01:17:06,869
bureau of reclamation

2192
01:17:09,923 --> 01:17:10,173
to ensure that the other

2193
01:17:10,623 --> 01:17:10,873
portions you know we're always

2194
01:17:11,224 --> 01:17:11,474
worried about gallup

2195
01:17:14,360 --> 01:17:14,610
we needed to build pumping

2196
01:17:16,329 --> 01:17:16,579
plant eight and we still need to

2197
01:17:19,599 --> 01:17:19,849
build reach 2712 which goes

2198
01:17:20,400 --> 01:17:20,650
through Caulpa hills and comes

2199
01:17:22,168 --> 01:17:22,418
out by Redhill's mobilele

2200
01:17:23,603 --> 01:17:23,853
Homeark that's the last

2201
01:17:24,137 --> 01:17:24,387
components of gallup

2202
01:17:26,372 --> 01:17:26,622
but but we still have going

2203
01:17:29,576 --> 01:17:29,826
south we we've still got the

2204
01:17:30,376 --> 01:17:30,626
RedRock chapter we've still got

2205
01:17:32,078 --> 01:17:32,328
chielta resprings we have to

2206
01:17:35,648 --> 01:17:35,898
think of our family members who

2207
01:17:36,282 --> 01:17:36,532
live in the county who

2208
01:17:38,451 --> 01:17:38,701
who are still as I said they're

2209
01:17:40,086 --> 01:17:40,336
still gallup even though they

2210
01:17:42,021 --> 01:17:42,271
don't live in the city limits we

2211
01:17:44,057 --> 01:17:44,307
still consider him gallup. So,

2212
01:17:45,792 --> 01:17:46,042
so we need to make sure that

2213
01:17:47,794 --> 01:17:48,044
those are continuing and then of

2214
01:17:48,561 --> 01:17:48,811
course we need to keep ensuring

2215
01:17:50,130 --> 01:17:50,380
that IHs is going to be doing

2216
01:17:52,098 --> 01:17:52,348
their component.'s great to have

2217
01:17:53,833 --> 01:17:54,083
a water line but if it's not

2218
01:17:56,202 --> 01:17:56,452
connected to a house that water

2219
01:17:56,836 --> 01:17:57,086
line doesn't do any good

2220
01:18:00,373 --> 01:18:00,623
so we're we're we're still

2221
01:18:02,342 --> 01:18:02,592
stressing those we're still

2222
01:18:05,578 --> 01:18:05,828
negotiating for we're we're

2223
01:18:06,179 --> 01:18:06,429
going through with continuing

2224
01:18:06,846 --> 01:18:07,096
resolutions every year

2225
01:18:10,049 --> 01:18:10,299
they they still need to pony

2226
01:18:11,885 --> 01:18:12,135
up the federal government needs

2227
01:18:12,519 --> 01:18:12,769
to pony up that final

2228
01:18:15,855 --> 01:18:16,105
to get the full project paid for

2229
01:18:16,589 --> 01:18:16,839
it's not100% paid for at this

2230
01:18:17,257 --> 01:18:17,507
date.

2231
01:18:20,360 --> 01:18:20,610
they've got enough to satisfy

2232
01:18:21,694 --> 01:18:21,944
the contracts that have been

2233
01:18:22,295 --> 01:18:22,545
given this year

2234
01:18:23,963 --> 01:18:24,213
but not those future

2235
01:18:27,634 --> 01:18:27,884
as the southern component's

2236
01:18:28,401 --> 01:18:28,651
going to our brothers and

2237
01:18:30,036 --> 01:18:30,286
sisters south of Gallllup and

2238
01:18:30,670 --> 01:18:30,920
those those components

2239
01:18:32,705 --> 01:18:32,955
the money hasn't come up with

2240
01:18:33,373 --> 01:18:33,623
yet

2241
01:18:35,975 --> 01:18:36,225
so yes we can get water to

2242
01:18:36,509 --> 01:18:36,759
gallup

2243
01:18:38,411 --> 01:18:38,661
but can we get water to all

2244
01:18:42,081 --> 01:18:42,331
those again this is a a rights

2245
01:18:42,715 --> 01:18:42,965
water rights settlement

2246
01:18:46,085 --> 01:18:46,335
gallup's very fortunate to be

2247
01:18:48,321 --> 01:18:48,571
part of it but let's let's

2248
01:18:50,056 --> 01:18:50,306
make sure it does what it's

2249
01:18:51,791 --> 01:18:52,041
intended and and sometimes with

2250
01:18:53,593 --> 01:18:53,843
the federal government we don't

2251
01:18:54,327 --> 01:18:54,577
see that follow through so we

2252
01:18:56,096 --> 01:18:56,346
want to continue lobbying and I

2253
01:18:58,098 --> 01:18:58,348
would really love to think

2254
01:18:59,833 --> 01:19:00,083
Representative Johnson

2255
01:19:01,835 --> 01:19:02,085
andrerepresentative Luundstrom

2256
01:19:04,037 --> 01:19:04,287
for earlier this year going to

2257
01:19:07,640 --> 01:19:07,890
Dc and and helping us open doors

2258
01:19:10,376 --> 01:19:10,626
to talk to the other legislature

2259
01:19:12,278 --> 01:19:12,528
our federal legislators that

2260
01:19:13,880 --> 01:19:14,130
we need to Luhan

2261
01:19:19,586 --> 01:19:19,836
and and and heinrich being very

2262
01:19:21,588 --> 01:19:21,838
instrumental in carrying the

2263
01:19:24,090 --> 01:19:24,340
bills and pushing hard to ensure

2264
01:19:24,791 --> 01:19:25,041
we got the cost cap

2265
01:19:25,692 --> 01:19:25,942
plus

2266
01:19:29,596 --> 01:19:29,846
other allocations to get that

2267
01:19:30,296 --> 01:19:30,546
pumping plant bid out and

2268
01:19:30,864 --> 01:19:31,114
started on construction

2269
01:19:33,933 --> 01:19:34,183
so very big thank you to both of

2270
01:19:34,601 --> 01:19:34,851
you for

2271
01:19:38,138 --> 01:19:38,388
helping take some additional

2272
01:19:38,738 --> 01:19:38,988
muscle up there

2273
01:19:42,408 --> 01:19:42,658
they were our bodyguards on the

2274
01:19:43,076 --> 01:19:43,326
street too

2275
01:19:45,545 --> 01:19:45,795
madam Chair the reason I raised

2276
01:19:47,814 --> 01:19:48,064
this is because if the project

2277
01:19:49,816 --> 01:19:50,066
can't demonstrate beneficial use

2278
01:19:52,118 --> 01:19:52,368
by actual people using it using

2279
01:19:54,120 --> 01:19:54,370
the water we have problems in

2280
01:19:56,055 --> 01:19:56,305
river City and what I mean is

2281
01:19:58,091 --> 01:19:58,341
these chapters have to be part

2282
01:20:00,093 --> 01:20:00,343
of this they are the reason

2283
01:20:01,628 --> 01:20:01,878
we're getting this. it's an

2284
01:20:03,596 --> 01:20:03,846
Indian water rights settlement

2285
01:20:04,230 --> 01:20:04,480
without the chapters we ain't

2286
01:20:07,801 --> 01:20:08,051
got a project. So I I think we

2287
01:20:08,468 --> 01:20:08,718
got a whatever those hiccups

2288
01:20:12,405 --> 01:20:12,655
are this is the right committee

2289
01:20:14,374 --> 01:20:14,624
to hear that and I'd like to

2290
01:20:16,075 --> 01:20:16,325
get something in writing from

2291
01:20:18,578 --> 01:20:18,828
you Frank all of us would just

2292
01:20:20,346 --> 01:20:20,596
so we know what we need to be

2293
01:20:21,614 --> 01:20:21,864
talking about

2294
01:20:24,250 --> 01:20:24,500
because we're we don't mind

2295
01:20:25,852 --> 01:20:26,102
going back we don't mind

2296
01:20:26,386 --> 01:20:26,636
fighting for this and

2297
01:20:29,622 --> 01:20:29,872
working with the Navajo Nation

2298
01:20:30,356 --> 01:20:30,606
and whoever but we got to know

2299
01:20:31,825 --> 01:20:32,075
what we're fighting for and I

2300
01:20:33,593 --> 01:20:33,843
think we have to demonstrate

2301
01:20:34,394 --> 01:20:34,644
beneficial use and that means

2302
01:20:35,829 --> 01:20:36,079
that these chapters need to be

2303
01:20:37,831 --> 01:20:38,081
hooked up. Thank you madam

2304
01:20:39,566 --> 01:20:39,816

that also even even offering

2335
01:21:42,362 --> 01:21:42,612
to take

2336
01:21:43,329 --> 01:21:43,579

will say right now until this

2340
01:21:53,573 --> 01:21:53,823
project is finished we're we're

2341
01:21:55,809 --> 01:21:56,059
holding off doing full support

2342
01:21:57,777 --> 01:21:58,027
for the western Navajo

2343
01:22:00,380 --> 01:22:00,630
settlement it's a different

2344
01:22:04,284 --> 01:22:04,534
river basin it and in arizona

2345
01:22:05,985 --> 01:22:06,235
as you look at the western part

2346
01:22:08,087 --> 01:22:08,337
of the arizona they're they're

2347
01:22:09,589 --> 01:22:09,839
wanting water out of the

2348
01:22:10,290 --> 01:22:10,540
Colorado and and of course

2349
01:22:13,560 --> 01:22:13,810
that's the lower basin a lot

2350
01:22:14,127 --> 01:22:14,377
more political you're now

2351
01:22:14,694 --> 01:22:14,944
dealing with Nevada

2352
01:22:16,663 --> 01:22:16,913
Montana

2353
01:22:22,068 --> 01:22:22,318
Utah, Nevada arizona, or and and

2354
01:22:24,137 --> 01:22:24,387
it's getting a lot more

2355
01:22:26,039 --> 01:22:26,289
political where the upper basin

2356
01:22:27,574 --> 01:22:27,824
we've already got our

2357
01:22:28,274 --> 01:22:28,524
settlement. let's get it built

2358
01:22:31,611 --> 01:22:31,861
and closed and then throw our

2359
01:22:32,345 --> 01:22:32,595
support to to our brothers and

2360
01:22:36,082 --> 01:22:36,332
sisters in in arizona. until

2361
01:22:38,351 --> 01:22:38,601
then though againuppton that

2362
01:22:40,086 --> 01:22:40,336
area we're throwing our support

2363
01:22:42,088 --> 01:22:42,338
because it it's it's different

2364
01:22:43,590 --> 01:22:43,840
they're in our watershed

2365
01:22:46,092 --> 01:22:46,342
right now and and and we can

2366
01:22:46,726 --> 01:22:46,976
prove that Gallup

2367
01:22:49,796 --> 01:22:50,046
where our real perco goes it's

2368
01:22:50,463 --> 01:22:50,713
going through their communities

2369
01:22:52,298 --> 01:22:52,548
let's give them water so the one

2370
01:22:54,033 --> 01:22:54,283
I'm really advocating for right

2371
01:22:55,802 --> 01:22:56,052
now is we've got the north we've

2372
01:22:57,837 --> 01:22:58,087
got the east west is just

2373
01:22:58,371 --> 01:22:58,621
proposed at this date

2374
01:22:59,839 --> 01:23:00,089
but South is on paper

2375
01:23:02,108 --> 01:23:02,358
but we haven't seen any

2376
01:23:02,609 --> 01:23:02,859
construction

2377
01:23:04,344 --> 01:23:04,594
those are the ones that we're

2378
01:23:04,944 --> 01:23:05,194
needing to stand up for

2379
01:23:08,047 --> 01:23:08,297
and and that goes to the zuni

2380
01:23:10,116 --> 01:23:10,366
watershed so you're looking at

2381
01:23:12,352 --> 01:23:12,602
the chapters of ed rock read

2382
01:23:12,919 --> 01:23:13,169
springs and Chichota.

2383
01:23:17,557 --> 01:23:17,807
those three chapters we want to

2384
01:23:18,191 --> 01:23:18,441
ensure that water is getting

2385
01:23:19,826 --> 01:23:20,076
down there and I will say they

2386
01:23:20,426 --> 01:23:20,676
will be ahead of the game as

2387
01:23:22,262 --> 01:23:22,512
soon as this gets there because

2388
01:23:24,063 --> 01:23:24,313
NTUA has a lot of those feeder

2389
01:23:24,697 --> 01:23:24,947
routes already going.

2390
01:23:28,268 --> 01:23:28,518
so as soon as we can supply

2391
01:23:30,036 --> 01:23:30,286
additional water, those other

2392
01:23:30,703 --> 01:23:30,953
homes can be added quicker

2393
01:23:36,075 --> 01:23:36,325

01:23:49,589 --> 01:23:49,839
thing is is that I wanted to ask

2403
01:23:50,256 --> 01:23:50,506
Elo

2404
01:23:55,762 --> 01:23:56,012
want to make sure these chapters

2405
01:23:57,597 --> 01:23:57,847
are knowledgeable about what's

2406
01:23:58,565 --> 01:23:58,815
going on. I mean we got to be in

2407
01:23:59,232 --> 01:23:59,482
the game here

2408
01:24:02,135 --> 01:24:02,385
thank you madam chair

2409
01:24:04,104 --> 01:24:04,354
thank you madam chairir one nice

2410
01:24:04,804 --> 01:24:05,054
to answer Representative

2411
01:24:05,338 --> 01:24:05,588
Lunstrom's first question

2412
01:24:08,274 --> 01:24:08,524
yes I'm I'm not gonna say no

2413
01:24:08,942 --> 01:24:09,192
because debo hit me

2414
01:24:14,080 --> 01:24:14,330
we have always actively pursued

2415
01:24:17,817 --> 01:24:18,067
that extra tax again we are

2416
01:24:19,586 --> 01:24:19,836
moving from seeing liquor

2417
01:24:21,654 --> 01:24:21,904
addiction it's still a major

2418
01:24:23,857 --> 01:24:24,107
issue we're starting to see more

2419
01:24:26,059 --> 01:24:26,309
fentanyl meth, those type of

2420
01:24:28,061 --> 01:24:28,311
addictions but we still have the

2421
01:24:30,563 --> 01:24:30,813
alcohol and that alcohol tax

2422
01:24:32,365 --> 01:24:32,615
does fund the other programs

2423
01:24:34,300 --> 01:24:34,550
that are helping with the other

2424
01:24:36,202 --> 01:24:36,452
addictions we see addiction

2425
01:24:37,904 --> 01:24:38,154
as an addiction whether it's

2426
01:24:39,973 --> 01:24:40,223
alcohol it it is a drug so that

2427
01:24:42,342 --> 01:24:42,592
that extra million dollars

2428
01:24:44,244 --> 01:24:44,494
that's coming in we can go

2429
01:24:47,781 --> 01:24:48,031
beyond NCI the housing the

2430
01:24:50,049 --> 01:24:50,299
intake the offers we can go more

2431
01:24:52,318 --> 01:24:52,568
into treatment and and those

2432
01:24:54,087 --> 01:24:54,337
type of things the the

2433
01:24:59,526 --> 01:24:59,776
the year of transition type

2434
01:25:01,561 --> 01:25:01,811
stuff that I was discussing we

2435
01:25:03,596 --> 01:25:03,846
can do a lot more right now that

2436
01:25:04,364 --> 01:25:04,614
first million is really just

2437
01:25:04,998 --> 01:25:05,248
going to

2438
01:25:07,667 --> 01:25:07,917
our initial programs of tracking

2439
01:25:12,071 --> 01:25:12,321
offering services those type

2440
01:25:13,807 --> 01:25:14,057
of things and of course NCI

2441
01:25:15,575 --> 01:25:15,825
itself which is vital in our

2442
01:25:17,777 --> 01:25:18,027
area but but an extra million

2443
01:25:18,478 --> 01:25:18,728
dollars on top being financed by

2444
01:25:23,850 --> 01:25:24,100
the drug itself it is is

2445
01:25:24,517 --> 01:25:24,767
powerful now if you guys can get

2446
01:25:26,119 --> 01:25:26,369
that more you know we're using

2447
01:25:27,854 --> 01:25:28,104
our marijuana tax money for

2448
01:25:29,823 --> 01:25:30,073
parks and recreation and

2449
01:25:30,356 --> 01:25:30,606
prevention at the youth level

2450
01:25:36,296 --> 01:25:36,546
and and it'll be amiss to say

2451
01:25:38,298 --> 01:25:38,548
deb's groups have all been

2452
01:25:40,300 --> 01:25:40,550
talking to us it's not just an

2453
01:25:43,837 --> 01:25:44,087
added tax. it's limiting the

2454
01:25:44,437 --> 01:25:44,687
number where it can come from

2455
01:25:48,074 --> 01:25:48,324
and if that's possibility that

2456
01:25:50,110 --> 01:25:50,360
would be wonderful too. We are

2457
01:25:51,578 --> 01:25:51,828
seeing the outnumber of alcohol

2458
01:25:52,278 --> 01:25:52,528
establishments in Gallup go

2459
01:25:52,846 --> 01:25:53,096
down?

2460
01:25:55,815 --> 01:25:56,065
but then we're seeing the

2461
01:25:57,884 --> 01:25:58,134
recreational marijuana stuff

2462
01:26:01,855 --> 01:26:02,105
exploding and and if we can get

2463
01:26:04,090 --> 01:26:04,340
a balance amongst them all and

2464
01:26:04,757 --> 01:26:05,007
and and more of a limit

2465
01:26:07,861 --> 01:26:08,111
it it it helps our law

2466
01:26:11,798 --> 01:26:12,048
enforcement with the the DWi or

2467
01:26:13,633 --> 01:26:13,883
driving impaired again the

2468
01:26:14,200 --> 01:26:14,450
more you spread it out

2469
01:26:16,369 --> 01:26:16,619
the harder it is to track the

2470
01:26:17,937 --> 01:26:18,187
harder it is to control and and

2471
01:26:23,576 --> 01:26:23,826
those type of things so if if

2472
01:26:24,544 --> 01:26:24,794
we can limit to where it's more

2473
01:26:25,211 --> 01:26:25,461
manageable

2474
01:26:26,546 --> 01:26:26,796
that would be a lot bigger help

2475
01:26:27,247 --> 01:26:27,497
too

2476
01:26:30,350 --> 01:26:30,600
thank you I have Representative

2477
01:26:31,084 --> 01:26:31,334
Garcia

2478
01:26:36,289 --> 01:26:36,539
thank you madam chair and

2479
01:26:38,291 --> 01:26:38,541
colleagues on the Indian

2480
01:26:40,560 --> 01:26:40,810
affairs committeetee I have a

2481
01:26:42,061 --> 01:26:42,311
number of questions that I would

2482
01:26:43,630 --> 01:26:43,880
like to ask. let me go ahead and

2483
01:26:45,598 --> 01:26:45,848
ask all of them just so you can

2484
01:26:48,301 --> 01:26:48,551
be able to respond to those

2485
01:26:51,838 --> 01:26:52,088
he first of all I also want

2486
01:26:52,405 --> 01:26:52,655
to support and

2487
01:26:56,309 --> 01:26:56,559
say that we do need documents on

2488
01:26:58,344 --> 01:26:58,594
the waterline issue that is

2489
01:27:02,048 --> 01:27:02,298
happening you stated a number

2490
01:27:04,284 --> 01:27:04,534
of numbers and data and

2491
01:27:07,554 --> 01:27:07,804
whatever that that you have

2492
01:27:08,288 --> 01:27:08,538
talked about but if you can put

2493
01:27:10,056 --> 01:27:10,306
that in writing it would be

2494
01:27:12,125 --> 01:27:12,375
easier for us to see what

2495
01:27:14,327 --> 01:27:14,577
what has been made and what's

2496
01:27:16,296 --> 01:27:16,546
what is still needed in those

2497
01:27:20,266 --> 01:27:20,516
areas and a number of people

2498
01:27:22,168 --> 01:27:22,418
and chapters and I guess

2499
01:27:22,735 --> 01:27:22,985
population that

2500
01:27:26,306 --> 01:27:26,556
' s impacted and will benefit

2501
01:27:28,007 --> 01:27:28,257
from this so if you can provide

2502
01:27:30,310 --> 01:27:30,560
that to us as soon as possible

2503
01:27:31,878 --> 01:27:32,128
like you've done with this

2504
01:27:32,612 --> 01:27:32,862
emergency warming center

2505
01:27:37,884 --> 01:27:38,134
with that what's what section

2506
01:27:39,586 --> 01:27:39,836
of the city government is

2507
01:27:41,888 --> 01:27:42,138
responsible for the emergency

2508
01:27:42,522 --> 01:27:42,772
warming centre

2509

2513
01:27:51,297 --> 01:27:51,547
health

2514
01:27:58,304 --> 01:27:58,554
and who was

2515
01:28:04,077 --> 01:28:04,327
implementing the emergency

2516
01:28:05,745 --> 01:28:05,995
center madam Chair

2517
01:28:07,814 --> 01:28:08,064
Representative Garcia umallllup

2518
01:28:09,849 --> 01:28:10,099
Community Health was the lead

2519
01:28:10,483 --> 01:28:10,733
agency for the

2520
01:28:15,555 --> 01:28:15,805
the implementation howard

2521
01:28:17,557 --> 01:28:17,807
Johnson we rented the two

2522
01:28:19,826 --> 01:28:20,076
ballrooms as a facility we also

2523
01:28:21,628 --> 01:28:21,878
had gallup transnsit do the

2524
01:28:24,097 --> 01:28:24,347
transportation out

2525
01:28:25,999 --> 01:28:26,249
gallupunity antry donated some

2526
01:28:28,334 --> 01:28:28,584
food so it was a well we all

2527
01:28:30,003 --> 01:28:30,253
collaborated together to work on

2528
01:28:30,703 --> 01:28:30,953
this

2529
01:28:34,073 --> 01:28:34,323
and then workforce solutions

2530
01:28:35,809 --> 01:28:36,059
officeice of housing gave us the

2531
01:28:38,111 --> 01:28:38,361
emergency funding and how long

2532
01:28:40,046 --> 01:28:40,296
has this been in operation?

2533
01:28:42,115 --> 01:28:42,365
Madam Cha Representative Garcia

2534
01:28:44,117 --> 01:28:44,367
this was only a pilot project

2535
01:28:45,852 --> 01:28:46,102
just one year which is a

2536
01:28:51,558 --> 01:28:51,808
not even it's like december 22

2537
01:28:52,392 --> 01:28:52,642
through September 28hre

2538
01:28:52,959 --> 01:28:53,209
representative 2.5

2539
01:29:00,133 --> 01:29:00,383
this is just to address people

2540
01:29:01,634 --> 01:29:01,884
that need a place during the

2541
01:29:02,202 --> 01:29:02,452
winter

2542
01:29:06,072 --> 01:29:06,322
but in the meantime we also are

2543
01:29:08,007 --> 01:29:08,257
very much aware of that unho

2544
01:29:08,608 --> 01:29:08,858
individuals within the city

2545
01:29:14,380 --> 01:29:14,630
I'm aware of that these

2546
01:29:14,948 --> 01:29:15,198
individuals

2547
01:29:19,552 --> 01:29:19,802
are coming and going at various

2548
01:29:21,754 --> 01:29:22,004
times but most of them continue

2549
01:29:22,422 --> 01:29:22,672
to be within the city

2550
01:29:26,359 --> 01:29:26,609
and I'm aware that these

2551
01:29:28,294 --> 01:29:28,544
unhealth individual had

2552
01:29:30,563 --> 01:29:30,813
established a camp down by the

2553
01:29:33,867 --> 01:29:34,117
river by the railroad track but

2554
01:29:36,069 --> 01:29:36,319
that has been cleaned out and

2555
01:29:38,037 --> 01:29:38,287
they're no longer there I'm just

2556
01:29:39,873 --> 01:29:40,123
wondering where did they go

2557
01:29:42,242 --> 01:29:42,492
where where are they now that

2558
01:29:44,410 --> 01:29:44,660
I'm sure there are other areas

2559
01:29:47,647 --> 01:29:47,897
that they have been establishing

2560
01:29:48,381 --> 01:29:48,631
and have been going to these

2561
01:29:49,849 --> 01:29:50,099
places

2562
01:29:51,885 --> 01:29:52,135
where are where are they now?

2563
01:29:55,789 --> 01:29:56,039
madam chairir Representative

2564
01:29:57,624 --> 01:29:57,874
Garcia, they do have different

2565
01:29:58,358 --> 01:29:58,608
locations where they move

2566
01:30:01,594 --> 01:30:01,844
throughout the city the city

2567
01:30:04,030 --> 01:30:04,280
does do the camp cleanups

2568
01:30:06,065 --> 01:30:06,315
they clean them up and they're

2569
01:30:08,101 --> 01:30:08,351
back in those locations probably

2570
01:30:08,802 --> 01:30:09,052
within a couple of weeks

2571
01:30:12,005 --> 01:30:12,255
we do have a an independent

2572
01:30:14,674 --> 01:30:14,924
shelter and a shelter at NI

2573
01:30:20,046 --> 01:30:20,296
part of our population about43%

2574
01:30:22,315 --> 01:30:22,565
of those are intakes for shelter

2575
01:30:24,284 --> 01:30:24,534
so we do have that and then the

2576
01:30:26,319 --> 01:30:26,569
independent livinggrame where

2577
01:30:28,321 --> 01:30:28,571
they can come stay leave their

2578
01:30:31,558 --> 01:30:31,808
stuff we do personal

2579
01:30:32,292 --> 01:30:32,542
improvement plan with them we

2580
01:30:35,562 --> 01:30:35,812
have them see a counselor and

2581
01:30:36,262 --> 01:30:36,512
then we have them attend groups

2582
01:30:38,298 --> 01:30:38,548
and then we even just got

2583
01:30:39,766 --> 01:30:40,016
bikes recently so they can go

2584
01:30:40,433 --> 01:30:40,683
look for

2585
01:30:44,637 --> 01:30:44,887
so we have different shelter

2586
01:30:45,872 --> 01:30:46,122
components in NCI

2587
01:30:51,611 --> 01:30:51,861
I see that between December

2588
01:30:54,147 --> 01:30:54,397
22 and February 28h of this past

2589
01:30:59,586 --> 01:30:59,836
year you have had 2971

2590
01:31:03,857 --> 01:31:04,107
intakes but you were only 636

2591
01:31:06,326 --> 01:31:06,576
were able to receive services

2592
01:31:10,096 --> 01:31:10,346
and be able to utilize the

2593
01:31:12,065 --> 01:31:12,315
warming center so looking at

2594
01:31:14,367 --> 01:31:14,617
that on a yearround basis that

2595
01:31:16,402 --> 01:31:16,652
would really probably triple it

2596
01:31:17,103 --> 01:31:17,353
even more

2597
01:31:20,306 --> 01:31:20,556
people that would be seeking

2598
01:31:24,077 --> 01:31:24,327
services are just be just

2599
01:31:27,614 --> 01:31:27,864
unhouse in the area what is the

2600
01:31:28,281 --> 01:31:28,531
city doing to address that

2601
01:31:32,118 --> 01:31:32,368
madam chairirpresentative Garcia

2602
01:31:34,120 --> 01:31:34,370
we did see a decrease in our

2603
01:31:38,057 --> 01:31:38,307
shelter population at NCI so we

2604
01:31:40,326 --> 01:31:40,576
and we saw the increase at the

2605
01:31:41,928 --> 01:31:42,178
warming shelter the warming

2606
01:31:42,462 --> 01:31:42,712
shelter had

2607
01:31:46,199 --> 01:31:46,449
more relaxed rules whereas

2608
01:31:48,435 --> 01:31:48,685
the detox center it's a a little

2609
01:31:50,370 --> 01:31:50,620
more strict so we've seen that

2610
01:31:52,038 --> 01:31:52,288
population just go to the

2611
01:31:53,740 --> 01:31:53,990
the warming

2612
01:31:58,411 --> 01:31:58,661
I guess my my question is ok we

2613
01:32:01,848 --> 01:32:02,098
have a number of individuals

2614
01:32:04,117 --> 01:32:04,367
that are on house they they're

2615
01:32:05,785 --> 01:32:06,035
here where everybody sees that

2616
01:32:09,589 --> 01:32:09,839
what is the city doing besides

2617
01:32:11,825 --> 01:32:12,075
doing the warming center center

2618
01:32:14,294 --> 01:32:14,544
are depending on NCI what what

2619
01:32:16,329 --> 01:32:16,579
are we doing to to assist and

2620
01:32:22,068 --> 01:32:22,318
any programs anything that's

2621
01:32:22,669 --> 01:32:22,919
being planned for them

2622
01:32:27,607 --> 01:32:27,857
madam chairir Representative

2623
01:32:28,575 --> 01:32:28,825
Garcia like again we're doing

2624
01:32:31,678 --> 01:32:31,928
our our outreach where we're

2625
01:32:33,613 --> 01:32:33,863
trying to make contact with them

2626
01:32:35,782 --> 01:32:36,032
to to get to the root of the

2627
01:32:36,416 --> 01:32:36,666
issues and refer them to

2628
01:32:41,621 --> 01:32:41,871
agencies or programs that

2629
01:32:43,790 --> 01:32:44,040
that will help them but

2630
01:32:45,859 --> 01:32:46,109
again, a lot of these people

2631
01:32:46,426 --> 01:32:46,676
don't want to go to the warming

2632
01:32:47,093 --> 01:32:47,343
center

2633
01:32:47,861 --> 01:32:48,111
because

2634
01:32:51,564 --> 01:32:51,814
they cannot be using alcohol or

2635
01:32:52,332 --> 01:32:52,582
drugs while in the warming

2636
01:32:52,966 --> 01:32:53,216
center

2637
01:32:54,567 --> 01:32:54,817
they don't want to go to NCI

2638
01:32:59,873 --> 01:33:00,123
because if they are intoxicated

2639
01:33:01,574 --> 01:33:01,824
and they have multiple they're

2640
01:33:03,576 --> 01:33:03,826
having to spend longer time

2641
01:33:04,344 --> 01:33:04,594
there and they don't want to

2642
01:33:06,079 --> 01:33:06,329
they went out the next day

2643
01:33:07,580 --> 01:33:07,830
they're looking for their next

2644
01:33:08,248 --> 01:33:08,498
day's fix I hate to say

2645
01:33:11,618 --> 01:33:11,868
so so we have a lot of these

2646
01:33:12,285 --> 01:33:12,535
that are making a choice

2647
01:33:15,822 --> 01:33:16,072
to be unhoused they're making

2648
01:33:16,422 --> 01:33:16,672
that choice we can offer them

2649
01:33:17,090 --> 01:33:17,340
services

2650
01:33:18,057 --> 01:33:18,307
but

2651
01:33:22,395 --> 01:33:22,645
again those services are clean

2652
01:33:23,930 --> 01:33:24,180
to be clean to be getting help

2653
01:33:26,065 --> 01:33:26,315
and and if they don't want that

2654
01:33:28,134 --> 01:33:28,384
they

2655
01:33:32,071 --> 01:33:32,321
they they're gonna live in the

2656
01:33:33,573 --> 01:33:33,823
ditch they would prefer to live

2657
01:33:35,842 --> 01:33:36,092
in the ditch they would be live

2658
01:33:37,577 --> 01:33:37,827
on the side of a somebody's

2659
01:33:39,813 --> 01:33:40,063
house those type of things

2660
01:33:43,583 --> 01:33:43,833
they are adding a huge cost to

2661
01:33:45,685 --> 01:33:45,935
our homeowners and business

2662
01:33:47,587 --> 01:33:47,837
owners because if they're on

2663
01:33:49,622 --> 01:33:49,872
private land state of New Mexico

2664
01:33:50,356 --> 01:33:50,606
inki donations we cannot clean

2665
01:33:51,057 --> 01:33:51,307
up

2666
01:33:53,860 --> 01:33:54,110
if it's private land. So if they

2667
01:33:55,662 --> 01:33:55,912
choose a a portion of a ditch

2668
01:33:56,329 --> 01:33:56,579
that

2669
01:33:59,632 --> 01:33:59,882
is in a business property we

2670
01:34:00,366 --> 01:34:00,616
can't clean it up. law

2671
01:34:00,900 --> 01:34:01,150
enforcement can move them along

2672
01:34:03,870 --> 01:34:04,120
but we can't come in and clean

2673
01:34:06,072 --> 01:34:06,322
it up. it it's a high expense. I

2674
01:34:08,074 --> 01:34:08,324
will say a lot of programs are

2675
01:34:08,741 --> 01:34:08,991
trying to help feed

2676
01:34:12,312 --> 01:34:12,562
they are coming in we have a

2677
01:34:14,280 --> 01:34:14,530
number of projects that that

2678
01:34:16,116 --> 01:34:16,366
feed on a daily basis different

2679
01:34:18,084 --> 01:34:18,334
areas of town and and then we

2680
01:34:19,586 --> 01:34:19,836
have a couple of others that

2681
01:34:21,855 --> 01:34:22,105
provide showers stuff like that

2682
01:34:22,589 --> 01:34:22,839
we're just hoping they're doing

2683
01:34:24,090 --> 01:34:24,340
those intakes and offering the

2684
01:34:24,791 --> 01:34:25,041
help

2685
01:34:28,094 --> 01:34:28,344
not just we feel good we fed you

2686
01:34:29,996 --> 01:34:30,246
but more we're trying to guild

2687
01:34:30,697 --> 01:34:30,947
your trust to get you into a

2688
01:34:31,364 --> 01:34:31,614
program

2689
01:34:34,367 --> 01:34:34,617
thank you for that information

2690
01:34:37,837 --> 01:34:38,087
and madam chair my last

2691
01:34:41,641 --> 01:34:41,891
question would be about the

2692
01:34:44,077 --> 01:34:44,327
because I've I've I I'm aware

2693
01:34:47,847 --> 01:34:48,097
of this experience the city

2694
01:34:49,816 --> 01:34:50,066
employees or anyone that

2695
01:34:52,118 --> 01:34:52,368
deals with the population

2696
01:34:55,855 --> 01:34:56,105
that is unhoused or better known

2697
01:34:56,623 --> 01:34:56,873
as homeless

2698
01:35:00,360 --> 01:35:00,610
they come here and they you know

2699
01:35:01,828 --> 01:35:02,078
they

2700
01:35:05,565 --> 01:35:05,815
they are here because of their

2701
01:35:07,801 --> 01:35:08,051
own problems issues whatever

2702
01:35:09,869 --> 01:35:10,119
their they're here and working

2703
01:35:12,372 --> 01:35:12,622
with one another and what are

2704
01:35:13,039 --> 01:35:13,289
we

2705
01:35:17,577 --> 01:35:17,827
doing any kind of training for

2706
01:35:18,645 --> 01:35:18,895
these employees so they are

2707
01:35:21,848 --> 01:35:22,098
sensitive to the situation and

2708
01:35:23,850 --> 01:35:24,100
and they're not prejudiced

2709
01:35:25,819 --> 01:35:26,069
against them and do what they

2710
01:35:29,823 --> 01:35:30,073
can to help help them when

2711
01:35:33,860 --> 01:35:34,110
when it comes to that do they

2712
01:35:35,862 --> 01:35:36,112
receive specialized training

2713
01:35:39,599 --> 01:35:39,849
to prevent discrimination or any

2714
01:35:42,402 --> 01:35:42,652
kind of treatment for these

2715
01:35:43,002 --> 01:35:43,252
individual I know it's really

2716
01:35:43,670 --> 01:35:43,920
hard to

2717
01:35:47,841 --> 01:35:48,091
tolerate and and deal with a

2718
01:35:48,441 --> 01:35:48,691
situation

2719
01:35:52,112 --> 01:35:52,362
because it's individual

2720
01:35:54,314 --> 01:35:54,564
choices that have been made but

2721
01:35:56,282 --> 01:35:56,532
they're still here and

2722
01:35:58,284 --> 01:35:58,534
they're still part of become

2723
01:36:01,621 --> 01:36:01,871
part of our community while back

2724
01:36:03,623 --> 01:36:03,873
a while ago you said that even

2725
01:36:05,825 --> 01:36:06,075
though the chapters south are

2726
01:36:08,361 --> 01:36:08,611
not part of members of gallup

2727
01:36:11,664 --> 01:36:11,914
but remember I come in about

2728
01:36:14,134 --> 01:36:14,384
every week to pick up hay to

2729
01:36:16,302 --> 01:36:16,552
pick up food and I become a

2730
01:36:18,071 --> 01:36:18,321
member of gallup and contribute

2731
01:36:18,805 --> 01:36:19,055
to to gallup

2732
01:36:21,574 --> 01:36:21,824
ll up in whatever way possible

2733
01:36:23,576 --> 01:36:23,826
even though I live in Ceepola

2734
01:36:27,580 --> 01:36:27,830
County so based on that I

2735
01:36:30,617 --> 01:36:30,867
just want to make sure that

2736
01:36:34,087 --> 01:36:34,337
our people whoever they are re

2737
01:36:37,891 --> 01:36:38,141
whether they'renavajozunni

2738
01:36:40,393 --> 01:36:40,643
non natives that they receive a

2739
01:36:43,897 --> 01:36:44,147
fair treatment and and not

2740
01:36:45,865 --> 01:36:46,115
make fun of that's where I'm

2741
01:36:46,499 --> 01:36:46,749
coming from

2742
01:36:49,836 --> 01:36:50,086

2745
01:36:55,842 --> 01:36:56,092

individuals into thehavi health

2747
01:36:59,579 --> 01:36:59,829
field and then we take them out

2748
01:37:00,647 --> 01:37:00,897
to do outreach and coach them

2749
01:37:02,415 --> 01:37:02,665
how to interact we provide

2750
01:37:05,585 --> 01:37:05,835
trauma informed care and we also

2751
01:37:07,587 --> 01:37:07,837
have our evaluator come in and

2752
01:37:10,023 --> 01:37:10,273
do a random fidelity checks with

2753
01:37:12,392 --> 01:37:12,642
our groups our counselors and

2754
01:37:13,860 --> 01:37:14,110
then we have them meet with

we are we are provi

2757
01:37:31,811 --> 01:37:32,061

01:39:44,277 --> 01:39:44,527
part partnership

2811
01:39:44,677 --> 01:39:44,927
council delegate

2812
01:39:46,312 --> 01:39:46,562
Eray.

2813
01:39:50,350 --> 01:39:50,600
Nelson if I remember right it

2814
01:39:52,152 --> 01:39:52,402
has has actually talked with me

2815
01:39:53,853 --> 01:39:54,103
and said you know these are our

2816
01:39:55,588 --> 01:39:55,838
family members going to town.

2817
01:39:57,624 --> 01:39:57,874
What help do they need to bring

2818
01:39:58,358 --> 01:39:58,608
him home and and why aren't they

2819
01:40:00,059 --> 01:40:00,309
being accepted at home was his

2820
01:40:00,727 --> 01:40:00,977
biggest concern

2821
01:40:04,097 --> 01:40:04,347
so so we are starting to see

2822
01:40:06,366 --> 01:40:06,616
some threads starting to weave

2823
01:40:08,401 --> 01:40:08,651
together of how can we work

2824
01:40:11,838 --> 01:40:12,088
together it's slow and and and

2825
01:40:13,573 --> 01:40:13,823
we'd love to see it getting

2826
01:40:15,608 --> 01:40:15,858
deeper thicker thicker

2827
01:40:17,944 --> 01:40:18,194
woven to where we're all

2828
01:40:19,612 --> 01:40:19,862
working towards the same thing

2829
01:40:20,380 --> 01:40:20,630
cause yes they are coming from

2830
01:40:22,315 --> 01:40:22,565
surrounding areas like

2831
01:40:24,584 --> 01:40:24,834
Representative Garcia said but

2832
01:40:25,251 --> 01:40:25,501
we consider us all

2833
01:40:30,056 --> 01:40:30,306
from the same area so however

2834
01:40:30,723 --> 01:40:30,973
we can work with these other

2835
01:40:34,093 --> 01:40:34,343
legislative bodies. I mean

2836
01:40:36,362 --> 01:40:36,612
sovereign sovereignty to to

2837
01:40:38,298 --> 01:40:38,548
other groups and other areas we

2838
01:40:39,799 --> 01:40:40,049
we would love to to come

2839
01:40:40,333 --> 01:40:40,583
together

2840
01:40:42,769 --> 01:40:43,019
so madam vice chair and

2841
01:40:48,041 --> 01:40:48,291
so I just recently last week

2842
01:40:50,276 --> 01:40:50,526
went through because with a a

2843
01:40:50,944 --> 01:40:51,194
company or

2844
01:40:53,613 --> 01:40:53,863
the behavioral health people

2845
01:40:56,316 --> 01:40:56,566
that working that are working

2846
01:40:57,951 --> 01:40:58,201
with thenavajo nation that do

2847
01:40:58,618 --> 01:40:58,868
have a contract with the Navajo

2848
01:41:00,353 --> 01:41:00,603
Nation now operating in arizona

2849
01:41:02,088 --> 01:41:02,338
so it's trying to bring them

2850
01:41:04,290 --> 01:41:04,540
here to New Mexico so that was

2851
01:41:06,326 --> 01:41:06,576
just beginning discussions just

2852
01:41:08,094 --> 01:41:08,344
had a real good meeting last

2853
01:41:10,130 --> 01:41:10,380
week a lot a lot

2854
01:41:15,602 --> 01:41:15,852
to do that we don't have but

2855
01:41:17,604 --> 01:41:17,854
I do caution to that they they

2856
01:41:19,839 --> 01:41:20,089
do have like veterans facilities

2857
01:41:20,507 --> 01:41:20,757
too and all kinds of

2858
01:41:22,075 --> 01:41:22,325
but we'll talk more about that

2859
01:41:23,610 --> 01:41:23,860
but there there is something

2860
01:41:24,277 --> 01:41:24,527
going on right now

2861
01:41:29,582 --> 01:41:29,832
OK thank you. I I was wondering

2862
01:41:30,350 --> 01:41:30,600
maybe we could entertain if we

2863
01:41:32,085 --> 01:41:32,335
don't already have a

2864
01:41:35,889 --> 01:41:36,139
multidisciplinary team or group

2865
01:41:36,523 --> 01:41:36,773
or committee within our

2866
01:41:40,326 --> 01:41:40,576
county or city and the reason

2867
01:41:43,530 --> 01:41:43,780
why I say that is because I work

2868
01:41:46,065 --> 01:41:46,315
at the hospital and we have the

2869
01:41:46,733 --> 01:41:46,983
same types of

2870
01:41:50,336 --> 01:41:50,586
patients constituents

2871
01:41:53,840 --> 01:41:54,090
individuals some of them driving

2872
01:41:56,342 --> 01:41:56,592
across the state one way or the

2873
01:41:59,579 --> 01:41:59,829
other getting stranded after an

2874
01:42:00,213 --> 01:42:00,463
emergency room treatment

2875
01:42:04,150 --> 01:42:04,400
our own folks having no place to

2876
01:42:06,286 --> 01:42:06,536
go after discharge, having no

2877
01:42:08,321 --> 01:42:08,571
transportation after discharge

2878
01:42:12,058 --> 01:42:12,308
and then our referrals are NCI

2879
01:42:14,360 --> 01:42:14,610
and you know where else wherever

2880
01:42:18,098 --> 01:42:18,348
else we can find help even

2881
01:42:20,133 --> 01:42:20,383
having to call the chaptershojo

2882
01:42:24,304 --> 01:42:24,554
so just the thought and then

2883
01:42:27,674 --> 01:42:27,924
my other question is about

2884
01:42:28,241 --> 01:42:28,491
the water line

2885
01:42:32,078 --> 01:42:32,328
I represent Eastern Agency so

2886
01:42:36,616 --> 01:42:36,866
the water line from standingRock

2887
01:42:39,786 --> 01:42:40,036
to Crown Point and that reach I

2888
01:42:41,554 --> 01:42:41,804
am advocating for. I understand

2889
01:42:43,590 --> 01:42:43,840
there's a10 million dollars

2890
01:42:45,825 --> 01:42:46,075
shortfall? do you know anything

2891
01:42:47,794 --> 01:42:48,044
about that or the specifics?

2892
01:42:48,461 --> 01:42:48,711
Thank you.

2893
01:42:52,098 --> 01:42:52,348
madam chairir Representative

2894
01:42:54,067 --> 01:42:54,317
Johnson, I'm not too sure

2895
01:42:55,635 --> 01:42:55,885
exactly what the10 million

2896
01:42:56,336 --> 01:42:56,586
dollars is. I know there's a

2897
01:42:58,638 --> 01:42:58,888
bunch of different

2898
01:43:00,073 --> 01:43:00,323
projects that came out of that

2899
01:43:01,808 --> 01:43:02,058
main line that went from that

2900
01:43:02,475 --> 01:43:02,725
went along the was that 99

2901
01:43:06,546 --> 01:43:06,796
they're and it might be

2902
01:43:07,814 --> 01:43:08,064
something that they're they're

2903
01:43:09,549 --> 01:43:09,799
gonna try to get state funding

2904
01:43:10,150 --> 01:43:10,400
for and it might be just

2905
01:43:12,252 --> 01:43:12,502
tributary off the main line but

2906
01:43:14,120 --> 01:43:14,370
I'm not too aware I know the

2907
01:43:16,122 --> 01:43:16,372
whole project has about a500

2908
01:43:17,824 --> 01:43:18,074
million dollars shortfall right

2909
01:43:18,591 --> 01:43:18,841
now which Frank talked about

2910
01:43:20,059 --> 01:43:20,309
which needs and it's and and it

2911
01:43:20,760 --> 01:43:21,010
might be included in that

2912
01:43:23,596 --> 01:43:23,846
thank you

2913
01:43:26,065 --> 01:43:26,315

water lines to our homes is very

2917
01:43:35,608 --> 01:43:35,858
important. I have both

2918
01:43:36,342 --> 01:43:36,592
experiences. I live in the city

2919
01:43:39,579 --> 01:43:39,829

01:43:41,548 --> 01:43:41,798
homestead about 20 miles

northeast of here and

2922
01:43:45,585 --> 01:43:45,835
I had an incident hauling water

2923
01:43:46,252 --> 01:43:46,502

and others for raising their

2932
01:44:09,876 --> 01:44:10,126
questions because they covered

2933
01:44:11,578 --> 01:44:11,828
most of what I wanted. So I'm

2934
01:44:12,378 --> 01:44:12,628
going to zero in on just a few

2935
01:44:13,046 --> 01:44:13,296
things

2936
01:44:16,483 --> 01:44:16,733
in terms of the intake and I'm

2937
01:44:18,151 --> 01:44:18,401
raising these questions because

2938
01:44:18,785 --> 01:44:19,035
I

2939
01:44:22,388 --> 01:44:22,638
in my previous career I'm

2940
01:44:24,090 --> 01:44:24,340
clinical social worker dealing

2941
01:44:26,292 --> 01:44:26,542
with substance and alcohol abuse

2942
01:44:28,561 --> 01:44:28,811
individuals and families

2943
01:44:31,598 --> 01:44:31,848
needs and so it's important to

2944
01:44:33,500 --> 01:44:33,750
me to get these type of

2945
01:44:35,835 --> 01:44:36,085
questions out. so in the intake

2946
01:44:37,637 --> 01:44:37,887
process and the only information

2947
01:44:39,606 --> 01:44:39,856
I have is relevant to what you

2948
01:44:40,640 --> 01:44:40,890
passed out here in terms of the

2949
01:44:43,910 --> 01:44:44,160
emergency warming center when

2950
01:44:47,580 --> 01:44:47,830
intake and it applies to NCI and

2951
01:44:48,248 --> 01:44:48,498
wherever else intake is done

2952
01:44:52,152 --> 01:44:52,402
what is the professional

2953
01:44:54,120 --> 01:44:54,370
preparation of the persons that

2954
01:44:54,821 --> 01:44:55,071
are doing the intake.

2955
01:44:56,322 --> 01:44:56,572
that's question one

2956
01:45:02,328 --> 01:45:02,578
madam chairirpresentative

2957
01:45:05,799 --> 01:45:06,049
roybalcaballero sorry

2958
01:45:10,103 --> 01:45:10,353
when we did the the emergency

2959
01:45:12,105 --> 01:45:12,355
shelter Gallllupunity Health had

2960
01:45:14,040 --> 01:45:14,290
a one on one training and all

2961
01:45:15,875 --> 01:45:16,125
day training and they did

2962
01:45:17,877 --> 01:45:18,127
hire people who had shelter

2963
01:45:20,280 --> 01:45:20,530
experience and worked with

2964
01:45:23,850 --> 01:45:24,100
the unsheltered one of them did

2965
01:45:25,485 --> 01:45:25,735
the burrito project who was the

2966
01:45:26,152 --> 01:45:26,402
manager who holds

2967
01:45:30,223 --> 01:45:30,473
Monthly events for the

2968
01:45:31,825 --> 01:45:32,075
unsheltered and offers them

2969
01:45:33,626 --> 01:45:33,876
showers and things like that so

2970
01:45:35,795 --> 01:45:36,045
a lot of the the individuals who

2971
01:45:38,098 --> 01:45:38,348
were hired had training or

2972
01:45:40,300 --> 01:45:40,550
experience within that and then

2973
01:45:42,068 --> 01:45:42,318
our intake process this was a

2974
01:45:42,702 --> 01:45:42,952
little different

2975
01:45:46,506 --> 01:45:46,756
we didn't have it so much

2976
01:45:48,074 --> 01:45:48,324
clinical at the emergency

2977
01:45:50,043 --> 01:45:50,293
warming shelter but at the the

2978
01:45:52,045 --> 01:45:52,295
detox center we do have a

2979
01:45:54,314 --> 01:45:54,564
counselor who does the expert

2980
01:45:56,116 --> 01:45:56,366
screening with them and then we

2981
01:45:57,884 --> 01:45:58,134
try and get them into treatment

2982
01:45:59,853 --> 01:46:00,103
once they're discharged the

2983
01:46:00,553 --> 01:46:00,803
numbers that were given within

2984
01:46:03,857 --> 01:46:04,107
those 1000 we're only with the

2985
01:46:05,592 --> 01:46:05,842
twelvehour holds that are

2986
01:46:06,159 --> 01:46:06,409
discharged

2987
01:46:07,861 --> 01:46:08,111

thank you so madam chair the the

2989
01:46:13,600 --> 01:46:13,850
whole point about intake in

2990
01:46:14,267 --> 01:46:14,517
general just the intake in

2991
01:46:17,604 --> 01:46:17,854
general and why the preparation

2992
01:46:18,304 --> 01:46:18,554
of those that are taking intake

2993
01:46:20,273 --> 01:46:20,523

2994
01:46:22,041 --> 01:46:22,291

that is that we have

2997
01:46:28,047 --> 01:46:28,297
individuals that

2998
01:46:33,586 --> 01:46:33,836
alcohol substance abuse

2999
01:46:35,855 --> 01:46:36,105
mental health, s possible

3000
01:46:38,091 --> 01:46:38,341
medical issues as well and so

3001
01:46:40,026 --> 01:46:40,276
the intake process is not just a

3002
01:46:42,262 --> 01:46:42,512
process of taking an application

3003
01:46:45,999 --> 01:46:46,249
or interviewing it's a what I

3004
01:46:49,836 --> 01:46:50,086
would view an indepth look at

3005
01:46:51,638 --> 01:46:51,888
the person who's sitting in

3006
01:46:53,606 --> 01:46:53,856
front of you in depth and

3007
01:46:54,274 --> 01:46:54,524
looking at that person madam

3008
01:46:57,610 --> 01:46:57,860
chair holistically to try to get

3009
01:46:58,244 --> 01:46:58,494
to the root the whole idea for

3010
01:46:58,912 --> 01:46:59,162
all of us

3011
01:47:02,048 --> 01:47:02,298
is to get to the root causes of

3012
01:47:03,783 --> 01:47:04,033
why we're seeing these kinds of

3013
01:47:10,073 --> 01:47:10,323
symptoms and and reliance on

3014
01:47:11,825 --> 01:47:12,075
or lack of reliance on on self

3015
01:47:16,129 --> 01:47:16,379
so I I would stress that that

3016
01:47:20,300 --> 01:47:20,550
the intake process in general

3017
01:47:21,835 --> 01:47:22,085
where whether it's in the

3018
01:47:23,770 --> 01:47:24,020
warming center or whether it's

3019
01:47:26,239 --> 01:47:26,489
an NCI or wherever it happens it

3020
01:47:27,907 --> 01:47:28,157
really is the place where you

3021
01:47:29,676 --> 01:47:29,926
have the actual professional

3022
01:47:34,147 --> 01:47:34,397
preparation and you you have a

3023
01:47:36,116 --> 01:47:36,366
lot of resources here or in

3024
01:47:37,884 --> 01:47:38,134
the neighboring areas with

3025
01:47:40,253 --> 01:47:40,503
universities I know that

3026
01:47:43,590 --> 01:47:43,840
there's student interns work

3027
01:47:46,326 --> 01:47:46,576
work experience that are already

3028
01:47:47,861 --> 01:47:48,111
in their3rd and4th year those

3029
01:47:50,563 --> 01:47:50,813
are perfect places for this

3030
01:47:55,769 --> 01:47:56,019
placements intake. So I would

3031
01:47:56,436 --> 01:47:56,686
just

3032
01:47:59,572 --> 01:47:59,822
I think we're all trying to get

3033
01:48:00,306 --> 01:48:00,556
at a comprehensive approach to

3034
01:48:02,308 --> 01:48:02,558
try to resolve these problems.

3035
01:48:05,578 --> 01:48:05,828
and aspresentative Garcia

3036
01:48:06,279 --> 01:48:06,529
mentioned we have an obligation

3037
01:48:09,549 --> 01:48:09,799
these are our people we have

3038
01:48:11,551 --> 01:48:11,801
an obligation to make sure we do

3039
01:48:12,252 --> 01:48:12,502
this so we don't want madam

3040
01:48:14,587 --> 01:48:14,837
chairir individuals a revolving

3041
01:48:15,622 --> 01:48:15,872
door we want

3042
01:48:20,360 --> 01:48:20,610
an end to this and so how we get

3043
01:48:22,295 --> 01:48:22,545
to that is by trying to look at

3044
01:48:24,330 --> 01:48:24,580
the whole person, the whole

3045
01:48:27,834 --> 01:48:28,084
family and then try to reach the

3046
01:48:28,468 --> 01:48:28,718
root causes so that

3047
01:48:33,573 --> 01:48:33,823
it was mentioned several times

3048
01:48:36,276 --> 01:48:36,526
that that the these are

3049
01:48:39,546 --> 01:48:39,796
choices that are being made by

3050
01:48:40,246 --> 01:48:40,496
these individuals to go back

3051
01:48:41,781 --> 01:48:42,031
to the

3052
01:48:45,785 --> 01:48:46,035
it

3053
01:48:49,556 --> 01:48:49,806
it's not necessarily a choice

3054
01:48:52,091 --> 01:48:52,341
it's how they see themselves

3055
01:48:55,562 --> 01:48:55,812
relative to society in general

3056
01:48:57,564 --> 01:48:57,814
and there's no place for these

3057
01:49:00,033 --> 01:49:00,283
persons. there's no place there

3058
01:49:02,035 --> 01:49:02,285
there and so there's a reason

3059
01:49:02,602 --> 01:49:02,852
why

3060
01:49:06,072 --> 01:49:06,322
we use different terminology

3061
01:49:07,540 --> 01:49:07,790
we're moving away from

3062
01:49:08,541 --> 01:49:08,791
homelessness we're now trying to

3063
01:49:11,544 --> 01:49:11,794
move away from unhoused in the

3064
01:49:13,513 --> 01:49:13,763
arena of social work and

3065
01:49:14,047 --> 01:49:14,297
casework because

3066
01:49:19,686 --> 01:49:19,936
we we can't take an attitude

3067
01:49:22,122 --> 01:49:22,372
or perspective or

3068
01:49:26,359 --> 01:49:26,609
or a prejudice in any form or

3069
01:49:27,861 --> 01:49:28,111
fashion and then

3070
01:49:31,865 --> 01:49:32,115
by by stating that it's their

3071
01:49:34,334 --> 01:49:34,584
choice. Yes, they may go back

3072
01:49:35,602 --> 01:49:35,852
but there's a reason why they're

3073
01:49:36,302 --> 01:49:36,552
going back

3074
01:49:38,605 --> 01:49:38,855
and I I would strongly

3075
01:49:42,308 --> 01:49:42,558
look at taking a comprehensive

3076
01:49:45,845 --> 01:49:46,095
approach one stop, share the

3077
01:49:46,479 --> 01:49:46,729
resources that are available

3078
01:49:49,849 --> 01:49:50,099
under one roof and then be able

3079
01:49:51,618 --> 01:49:51,868
to address those needs

3080
01:49:53,553 --> 01:49:53,803
uhpresentative vice chairir

3081
01:49:54,320 --> 01:49:54,570
Johnson mentioned the medical

3082
01:49:56,556 --> 01:49:56,806
the hospital there's medical

3083
01:49:58,024 --> 01:49:58,274
institutions here they need

3084
01:49:58,591 --> 01:49:58,841
to be

3085
01:50:02,095 --> 01:50:02,345
involved because we don't we

3086
01:50:03,830 --> 01:50:04,080
don't know what the medical, uh,

3087
01:50:06,099 --> 01:50:06,349
wellbeing of that person is or

3088
01:50:09,602 --> 01:50:09,852
or the family or the children so

3089
01:50:11,604 --> 01:50:11,854
I I just encourage you to kind

3090
01:50:12,305 --> 01:50:12,555
of move away from

3091
01:50:18,144 --> 01:50:18,394
treating the intake process as

3092
01:50:20,079 --> 01:50:20,329
just an filling out forms

3093
01:50:22,415 --> 01:50:22,665
process and looking at it from a

3094
01:50:25,552 --> 01:50:25,802
more indepth comprehensive

3095
01:50:28,154 --> 01:50:28,404
way and that so one final

3096
01:50:29,823 --> 01:50:30,073
question and you may not be able

3097
01:50:30,557 --> 01:50:30,807
to answer that madam chairir

3098
01:50:32,325 --> 01:50:32,575
right now but I'd like to

3099
01:50:35,862 --> 01:50:36,112
know what the percentage all the

3100
01:50:36,529 --> 01:50:36,779
funding that you mentioned that

3101
01:50:39,632 --> 01:50:39,882
has been coming in either

3102
01:50:40,333 --> 01:50:40,583
through the federal or however

3103
01:50:41,835 --> 01:50:42,085
else the all the other funding

3104
01:50:44,104 --> 01:50:44,354
what percentage goes directly to

3105
01:50:45,872 --> 01:50:46,122
direct service and what

3106
01:50:47,507 --> 01:50:47,757
percentage goes to

3107
01:50:48,274 --> 01:50:48,524
administration. I know that

3108
01:50:52,112 --> 01:50:52,362
there are limits by funding

3109
01:50:53,546 --> 01:50:53,796
sources in terms of

3110
01:50:54,280 --> 01:50:54,530
administration but I'd be

3111
01:50:56,082 --> 01:50:56,332
curious to see how much is

3112
01:50:57,817 --> 01:50:58,067
actually going into direct

3113
01:51:01,588 --> 01:51:01,838
service and then the longevity

3114
01:51:04,591 --> 01:51:04,841
of of the service you you

3115
01:51:05,125 --> 01:51:05,375
kind of address it

3116
01:51:10,029 --> 01:51:10,279
in just this warming center but

3117
01:51:12,298 --> 01:51:12,548
I think in general it would

3118
01:51:14,234 --> 01:51:14,484
help to be able to look at

3119
01:51:16,136 --> 01:51:16,386
how long

3120
01:51:21,608 --> 01:51:21,858
why they're not staying the

3121
01:51:22,375 --> 01:51:22,625
questions should be asked why

3122
01:51:24,344 --> 01:51:24,594
did they come to gallup in the

3123
01:51:25,011 --> 01:51:25,261
first place

3124
01:51:25,645 --> 01:51:25,895
and what are they seeking when

3125
01:51:28,414 --> 01:51:28,664
and then

3126
01:51:33,920 --> 01:51:34,170
a lot of questions there's a lot

3127
01:51:35,722 --> 01:51:35,972
of questions we need to ask but

3128
01:51:37,757 --> 01:51:38,007
anyway, madam chair if you

3129
01:51:39,559 --> 01:51:39,809
can answer that right now that's

3130
01:51:40,260 --> 01:51:40,510
fine. I don't want to take too

3131
01:51:41,728 --> 01:51:41,978
much more time but if you can

3132
01:51:43,730 --> 01:51:43,980
provide that to the film I mean

3133
01:51:44,397 --> 01:51:44,647
to the committee that would be

3134
01:51:45,064 --> 01:51:45,314
helpful. Thank you.

3135
01:51:48,134 --> 01:51:48,384
madam chairir, umpresentativeRoy

3136
01:51:50,036 --> 01:51:50,286
Ball umabbriero

3137
01:51:54,073 --> 01:51:54,323
we didn't take any funding from

3138
01:51:55,975 --> 01:51:56,225
the emergency shelter that went

3139
01:51:58,244 --> 01:51:58,494
all directly this was a pilot

3140
01:52:00,180 --> 01:52:00,430
project and we wanted to have it

3141
01:52:03,750 --> 01:52:04,000
low barrier so that included

3142
01:52:05,552 --> 01:52:05,802
not as many questions during the

3143
01:52:06,219 --> 01:52:06,469
intake process because we didn't

3144
01:52:08,254 --> 01:52:08,504
want to screen anybody out at

3145
01:52:11,591 --> 01:52:11,841
the beginning and then for the

3146
01:52:14,027 --> 01:52:14,277
other funding the IHS funding

3147
01:52:15,929 --> 01:52:16,179
it funds my salary and another

3148
01:52:17,931 --> 01:52:18,181
employee and we go I'm the

3149
01:52:19,799 --> 01:52:20,049
program manager and we only have

3150
01:52:20,567 --> 01:52:20,817
two staff in our behavioral

3151
01:52:21,101 --> 01:52:21,351

thank you madam chairir and

3156
01:52:31,778 --> 01:52:32,028
and so there's no other intake

3157
01:52:34,013 --> 01:52:34,263
process that occurs outside of

3158
01:52:34,681 --> 01:52:34,931
the warming center

3159
01:52:36,216 --> 01:52:36,466
don't you have an intake process

01:52:39,719 --> 01:52:39,969
at NTI also madam chairir yes

3161
01:52:41,521 --> 01:52:41,771

3179

question I had was of the

3180

clients who came into the

3181
01:53:18,024 --> 01:53:18,274
worming center were any of those

3182
01:53:18,691 --> 01:53:18,941
children?

3183
01:53:25,632 --> 01:53:25,882
Madam chair on the corner we

3184
01:53:26,299 --> 01:53:26,549
had

3185
01:53:32,238 --> 01:53:32,488
six families and18 adults thank

3186
01:53:32,906 --> 01:53:33,156
you thank you

3187
01:53:35,942 --> 01:53:36,192
and then it was mentioned

3188
01:53:38,111 --> 01:53:38,361
earlier that graduates of the

3189
01:53:41,514 --> 01:53:41,764
detox program weren't able to go

3190
01:53:42,315 --> 01:53:42,565
home because of cost two part

3191
01:53:44,184 --> 01:53:44,434
question is is there a

3192
01:53:45,718 --> 01:53:45,968
willingness to go home to

3193
01:53:47,554 --> 01:53:47,804
participants want to go home and

3194
01:53:50,223 --> 01:53:50,473
is it just is it a a barrier is

3195
01:53:51,591 --> 01:53:51,841
it a cost barrier to get them

3196
01:53:52,258 --> 01:53:52,508
home if

3197
01:53:57,697 --> 01:53:57,947
madam chair senator umarrlie

3198
01:54:00,166 --> 01:54:00,416
a lot of these individuals have

3199
01:54:03,970 --> 01:54:04,220
family dynamics where they've

3200
01:54:05,772 --> 01:54:06,022
drank a lot and the family

3201
01:54:08,174 --> 01:54:08,424
doesn't want him home so it's

3202
01:54:10,310 --> 01:54:10,560
about building those bridges

3203
01:54:12,112 --> 01:54:12,362
we've had instances where

3204
01:54:14,147 --> 01:54:14,397
people want bus pass we do offer

3205
01:54:15,748 --> 01:54:15,998
them bus passes if they want to

3206
01:54:18,184 --> 01:54:18,434
go home and we offer them the

3207
01:54:21,588 --> 01:54:21,838
ability to call their family

3208
01:54:22,155 --> 01:54:22,405
to let them know they're at

3209
01:54:24,190 --> 01:54:24,440
detox. Most don't take them

3210
01:54:27,594 --> 01:54:27,844
up on that offer and if they

3211
01:54:28,261 --> 01:54:28,511
do not live in

3212
01:54:30,130 --> 01:54:30,380
gallup we do offer them a bus

3213
01:54:31,965 --> 01:54:32,215
pass or train ticket if they

3214
01:54:33,933 --> 01:54:34,183
want to return home. OK thank

3215
01:54:35,935 --> 01:54:36,185
you and then the next question

3216
01:54:37,737 --> 01:54:37,987
is about your last slide here

3217
01:54:41,708 --> 01:54:41,958
the NCI intake the breakdown

3218
01:54:43,743 --> 01:54:43,993
of numbers doesn't tell me how

3219
01:54:45,545 --> 01:54:45,795
many participants that is is

3220
01:54:47,914 --> 01:54:48,164
that the total 2971 or is that a

3221
01:54:48,548 --> 01:54:48,798
different total?

3222
01:54:53,620 --> 01:54:53,870
the total on that is1006

3223
01:54:57,824 --> 01:54:58,074
this is for NCI not for the

3224
01:54:59,793 --> 01:55:00,043
warming clinic and this is only

3225
01:55:02,128 --> 01:55:02,378
for the tw2 hour hold. so those

3226
01:55:04,097 --> 01:55:04,347
individuals that came in they

3227
01:55:07,967 --> 01:55:08,217
blew a.20 1 zeroed out we

3228
01:55:09,702 --> 01:55:09,952
have to meet with a counselor

3229
01:55:11,938 --> 01:55:12,188
offer them services if they're

3230
01:55:13,540 --> 01:55:13,790
interested in treatment we do a

3231
01:55:15,742 --> 01:55:15,992
warm handoff to four corners or

3232
01:55:17,977 --> 01:55:18,227
even Albuquerque, Las Cruces

3233
01:55:19,579 --> 01:55:19,829
wherever they want to go and we

3234
01:55:20,213 --> 01:55:20,463
coordinate with medicaid to do

3235
01:55:23,817 --> 01:55:24,067
transport. thank you and then

3236
01:55:24,417 --> 01:55:24,667
I didn't get a comprehensive

3237
01:55:25,084 --> 01:55:25,334
picture

3238
01:55:28,021 --> 01:55:28,271
of the total cost. there's

3239
01:55:29,756 --> 01:55:30,006
not a budget associated with the

3240
01:55:31,524 --> 01:55:31,774
emergency warming center is

3241
01:55:33,693 --> 01:55:33,943
it175,000 plus inkind donations

3242
01:55:35,829 --> 01:55:36,079
repres us

3243
01:55:39,766 --> 01:55:40,016
madam chair senator Charlie yes

3244
01:55:41,701 --> 01:55:41,951
and do you have a breakdown of

3245
01:55:42,335 --> 01:55:42,585
what those inkind donation

3246
01:55:42,936 --> 01:55:43,186
totals are

3247
01:55:43,837 --> 01:55:44,087
I don't

3248
01:55:47,941 --> 01:55:48,191
in thinking about a potential

3249
01:55:49,909 --> 01:55:50,159
fiscal agent that those are the

3250
01:55:51,711 --> 01:55:51,961
questions that I'm thinking

3251
01:55:53,513 --> 01:55:53,763
about right who can sustain a

3252
01:55:55,748 --> 01:55:55,998
program of this budget. I mean

3253
01:55:56,416 --> 01:55:56,666
you've said that the city would

3254
01:55:57,984 --> 01:55:58,234
be willing to be a fiscal agent.

3255
01:56:01,721 --> 01:56:01,971
do you have potential entities

3256
01:56:02,422 --> 01:56:02,672
ready to step in and continue

3257
01:56:03,089 --> 01:56:03,339
the program?

3258
01:56:09,529 --> 01:56:09,779
Gallllupun madam chairir,

3259
01:56:11,598 --> 01:56:11,848
Senator Charlie Gel Community

3260
01:56:13,833 --> 01:56:14,083
Health has shared interest with

3261
01:56:14,534 --> 01:56:14,784
wanting to continue they

3262
01:56:15,969 --> 01:56:16,219
actually wanted to do a cooling

3263
01:56:16,636 --> 01:56:16,886
center this summer just

3264
01:56:18,238 --> 01:56:18,488
it got cool before we got to it

3265
01:56:22,142 --> 01:56:22,392
it's it's already getting nippy

3266
01:56:25,578 --> 01:56:25,828
falls falls here so so we've

3267
01:56:26,179 --> 01:56:26,429
already got Gallup Community

3268
01:56:28,047 --> 01:56:28,297
Health and and several other

3269
01:56:31,551 --> 01:56:31,801
entities wanting to again it

3270
01:56:34,120 --> 01:56:34,370
comes down to having the

3271
01:56:34,721 --> 01:56:34,971
backbone which came from

3272
01:56:38,124 --> 01:56:38,374
that175,000

3273
01:56:42,095 --> 01:56:42,345
something like that to to get it

3274
01:56:43,830 --> 01:56:44,080
going and then they're in income

3275
01:56:46,266 --> 01:56:46,516
can sustain for a short period

3276
01:56:48,301 --> 01:56:48,551
of time but without the infuse

3277
01:56:49,002 --> 01:56:49,252
of that original money

3278
01:56:52,038 --> 01:56:52,288
not even the city of Gallup

3279
01:56:54,040 --> 01:56:54,290
has the the capacity right now.

3280
01:56:55,809 --> 01:56:56,059
Sure thank you madam Chair.

3281
01:56:58,111 --> 01:56:58,361
so this it sounded like it was

3282
01:57:00,046 --> 01:57:00,296
an emergency grant. are there

3283
01:57:01,548 --> 01:57:01,798
funds available? Are you working

3284
01:57:02,215 --> 01:57:02,465
with the

3285
01:57:07,787 --> 01:57:08,037
allocations through Senate Bill3

3286
01:57:09,622 --> 01:57:09,872
or other potential funding

3287
01:57:16,362 --> 01:57:16,612
madam chair senator Charlie

3288
01:57:19,532 --> 01:57:19,782
we do have a housing program

3289
01:57:21,601 --> 01:57:21,851
manager and since then I've kind

3290
01:57:22,335 --> 01:57:22,585
of kicked that off because

3291
01:57:22,869 --> 01:57:23,119
housing's not my

3292
01:57:27,874 --> 01:57:28,124
my specialty but I know that

3293
01:57:29,509 --> 01:57:29,759
we did talk to workforce

3294
01:57:31,878 --> 01:57:32,128
Solutions about putting out a

3295
01:57:34,080 --> 01:57:34,330
grant instead of giving it to

3296
01:57:36,382 --> 01:57:36,632
a municipality and letting other

3297
01:57:38,151 --> 01:57:38,401
individuals apply so they can

3298
01:57:41,621 --> 01:57:41,871
assess their own costs and needs

3299
01:57:42,388 --> 01:57:42,638
associated with the warming

3300
01:57:44,591 --> 01:57:44,841
shelters and I know there was an

3301
01:57:46,326 --> 01:57:46,576
RFP but I'm not sure if anybody

3302
01:57:47,627 --> 01:57:47,877
applied for it locally

3303
01:57:50,330 --> 01:57:50,580
thank you madam chairir. I don't

3304
01:57:51,798 --> 01:57:52,048
know if you could do it less

3305
01:57:54,234 --> 01:57:54,484
expensive than175,000 dollars

3306
01:57:55,835 --> 01:57:56,085
quite honestly for that amount

3307
01:57:57,871 --> 01:57:58,121
of time that's about50,000

3308
01:58:00,073 --> 01:58:00,323
dollars a month which is for the

3309
01:58:01,808 --> 01:58:02,058
the amount of individuals that

3310
01:58:04,077 --> 01:58:04,327
you're interacting with. I

3311
01:58:04,644 --> 01:58:04,894
don't know if that's possible

3312
01:58:05,311 --> 01:58:05,561
but

3313
01:58:08,348 --> 01:58:08,598
thank you that that concludes my

3314
01:58:10,083 --> 01:58:10,333
my questions madam chairir I'll

3315
01:58:11,551 --> 01:58:11,801
just say this one last thing I

3316
01:58:12,485 --> 01:58:12,735
read an interesting article

3317
01:58:14,320 --> 01:58:14,570
recently about harm reduction

3318
01:58:19,859 --> 01:58:20,109
policies and how major

3319
01:58:21,561 --> 01:58:21,811
metropolitan areas are rolling

3320
01:58:22,295 --> 01:58:22,545
back their harm reduction

3321
01:58:24,531 --> 01:58:24,781
policies but also to include

3322
01:58:27,634 --> 01:58:27,884
mandatory treatment for the

3323
01:58:29,602 --> 01:58:29,852
reasons that were mentioned and

3324
01:58:31,838 --> 01:58:32,088
when mandatory treatment is

3325
01:58:33,840 --> 01:58:34,090
required of those individuals

3326
01:58:34,607 --> 01:58:34,857
who come into contact with the

3327
01:58:35,275 --> 01:58:35,525
system recidivism

3328
01:58:39,579 --> 01:58:39,829
decreases and so I think it's an

3329
01:58:41,848 --> 01:58:42,098
interesting intersection for

3330
01:58:45,585 --> 01:58:45,835
us to explore while we're making

3331
01:58:46,319 --> 01:58:46,569
decisions about treatment

3332
01:58:48,054 --> 01:58:48,304
facilities into the future.

3333
01:58:48,588 --> 01:58:48,838
thank you madam chairir.

3334
01:58:52,058 --> 01:58:52,308
and I would like to mention that

3335
01:58:53,593 --> 01:58:53,843
these guys actually do the

3336
01:58:55,595 --> 01:58:55,845
workforce development when they

3337
01:58:56,362 --> 01:58:56,612
do the intake right when the

3338
01:58:57,831 --> 01:58:58,081
people are in the program like

3339
01:59:00,066 --> 01:59:00,316
as soon as they can handle it

3340
01:59:01,601 --> 01:59:01,851
and get them going so it's not

3341
01:59:02,302 --> 01:59:02,552
till after they

3342
01:59:04,804 --> 01:59:05,054
ter ing

3343
01:59:08,141 --> 01:59:08,391
p re s ent ative Abeda, thank

right into my questions

3348
01:59:16,282 --> 01:59:16,532
beautifully thank you in regards

3349
01:59:18,051 --> 01:59:18,301
to the mandatory treatment for

3350
01:59:19,819 --> 01:59:20,069
both NCI or excuse me the

3351
01:59:22,122 --> 01:59:22,372
nonmandatory treatment for NCI

3352
01:59:24,290 --> 01:59:24,540
are you keeping any

3353
01:59:26,359 --> 01:59:26,609
information about tribal court

3354
01:59:26,993 --> 01:59:27,243
versus non tribal court?

3355
01:59:33,800 --> 01:59:34,050
madam chair umre representative

3356
01:59:36,102 --> 01:59:36,352
Abeda we just keep the

3357
01:59:37,604 --> 01:59:37,854
commitment where they're

3358
01:59:39,606 --> 01:59:39,856
committed from so only a law

3359
01:59:40,173 --> 01:59:40,423
enforcement officer and a

3360
01:59:42,308 --> 01:59:42,558
medical provider can commit him

3361
01:59:44,077 --> 01:59:44,327
into NCI and we do have that

3362
01:59:47,614 --> 01:59:47,864
data. Great OK. where are you

3363
01:59:48,281 --> 01:59:48,531
seeing more of the commitments

3364
01:59:48,948 --> 01:59:49,198
coming from

3365
01:59:53,753 --> 01:59:54,003
umgpd I think it's 95% are

3366
01:59:54,287 --> 01:59:54,537
coming from Galluplice

3367
02:00:01,594 --> 02:00:01,844
I can get you that exact

3368
02:00:02,095 --> 02:00:02,345
breakdown

3369
02:00:04,330 --> 02:00:04,580
OK thank you madam chair thank

3370
02:00:06,299 --> 02:00:06,549
you presenters. The reason

3371
02:00:08,301 --> 02:00:08,551
why I ask is I agree with

3372
02:00:09,569 --> 02:00:09,819
Senator Charlie in the article

3373
02:00:11,571 --> 02:00:11,821
written that mandatory treatment

3374
02:00:12,338 --> 02:00:12,588
does have an impact and it does

3375
02:00:15,842 --> 02:00:16,092
help. but I wanted to see if

3376
02:00:17,844 --> 02:00:18,094
that was if we were seeing

3377
02:00:20,079 --> 02:00:20,329
mandatory treatment commitments

3378
02:00:22,115 --> 02:00:22,365
from tribal courts as well

3379
02:00:25,852 --> 02:00:26,102
because for my experience that

3380
02:00:27,554 --> 02:00:27,804
NCI is one of the only local

3381
02:00:28,221 --> 02:00:28,471
places that they can

3382
02:00:37,597 --> 02:00:37,847
do not go to NCI then they're

3383
02:00:38,364 --> 02:00:38,614
sent out of state they're sent

3384
02:00:39,599 --> 02:00:39,849
to facilities that are much

3385
02:00:40,166 --> 02:00:40,416
further

3386
02:00:45,572 --> 02:00:45,822
u ll recovery because the

3387
02:00:46,339 --> 02:00:46,589
curriculum's either not

3388
02:00:50,143 --> 02:00:50,393
culturally responsive to them or

3389
02:00:52,145 --> 02:00:52,395
just the distance alone and

3390
02:00:53,880 --> 02:00:54,130
then coming back into the same

3391
02:00:54,681 --> 02:00:54,931
environment that coping

3392
02:00:56,116 --> 02:00:56,366
mechanisms are just not there.

3393
02:00:58,184 --> 02:00:58,434
So I want I would love to see

3394
02:01:01,955 --> 02:01:02,205
those two issues because my I

3395
02:01:05,592 --> 02:01:05,842
am moving towards more

3396
02:01:07,894 --> 02:01:08,144
collaboration with courts and

3397
02:01:08,561 --> 02:01:08,811
also the law school about

3398
02:01:11,698 --> 02:01:11,948
addressing needs for our legal

3399
02:01:12,365 --> 02:01:12,615
desert in

3400
02:01:15,668 --> 02:01:15,918
this is Albuquerque west all the

3401
02:01:22,258 --> 02:01:22,508
the next question I had was

3402
02:01:24,377 --> 02:01:24,627
in the in the curriculum I know

3403
02:01:26,179 --> 02:01:26,429
you said that they go through a

3404
02:01:27,914 --> 02:01:28,164
program that they can finish. Do

3405
02:01:28,648 --> 02:01:28,898
you know if there's a life

3406
02:01:30,049 --> 02:01:30,299
skills component in that

3407
02:01:32,085 --> 02:01:32,335
curriculum and the life skills

3408
02:01:34,087 --> 02:01:34,337
component would be how to find a

3409
02:01:36,356 --> 02:01:36,606
home or building a resume job

3410
02:01:39,626 --> 02:01:39,876
application or having a support

3411
02:01:40,293 --> 02:01:40,543
for

3412
02:01:42,662 --> 02:01:42,912
relapse prevention is that part

3413
02:01:43,329 --> 02:01:43,579
of the curriculum

3414
02:01:49,786 --> 02:01:50,036
madam chairirpresentative Obea

3415
02:01:51,571 --> 02:01:51,821
we do have people come into

3416
02:01:52,572 --> 02:01:52,822
NCI and do groups from

3417
02:01:55,542 --> 02:01:55,792
umorkforce solutions that they

3418
02:01:57,544 --> 02:01:57,794
do provide the job

3419
02:01:58,311 --> 02:01:58,561
application a lot of these

3420
02:02:01,548 --> 02:02:01,798
people are just coming off of

3421
02:02:04,584 --> 02:02:04,834
having abAc of.20 so we have to

3422
02:02:08,321 --> 02:02:08,571
repeat those and and work slowly

3423
02:02:10,323 --> 02:02:10,573
with this population because a

3424
02:02:12,358 --> 02:02:12,608
lot of them have been unhoused

3425
02:02:14,494 --> 02:02:14,744
and unsheltered for a while

3426
02:02:15,028 --> 02:02:15,278
we've had

3427
02:02:17,831 --> 02:02:18,081
in the independent living we've

3428
02:02:20,033 --> 02:02:20,283
had success with working with

3429
02:02:22,135 --> 02:02:22,385
them to get jobs and then

3430
02:02:24,070 --> 02:02:24,320
providing the bikes to get to

3431
02:02:27,874 --> 02:02:28,124
employment it takes some time

3432
02:02:29,576 --> 02:02:29,826
to get him into a routine

3433
02:02:30,310 --> 02:02:30,560
because we do give them chores

3434
02:02:32,312 --> 02:02:32,562
we kind of have like a house

3435
02:02:34,080 --> 02:02:34,330
manager within that shelter and

3436
02:02:36,316 --> 02:02:36,566
they all take turns it's it's

3437
02:02:37,851 --> 02:02:38,101
been really nice to see and

3438
02:02:40,086 --> 02:02:40,336
we're looking at implementing a

3439
02:02:42,322 --> 02:02:42,572
a contingency management program

3440
02:02:44,591 --> 02:02:44,841
where we increase the rewards

3441
02:02:45,258 --> 02:02:45,508
for the positive behavior

3442
02:02:48,628 --> 02:02:48,878
so we don't have that

3443
02:02:49,095 --> 02:02:49,345
necessarily

3444
02:02:53,600 --> 02:02:53,850
curriculum of life skills but we

3445
02:02:54,400 --> 02:02:54,650
have them work with a peer

3446
02:02:54,968 --> 02:02:55,218
support to guide them through a

3447
02:02:55,635 --> 02:02:55,885
lot of this.

3448
02:02:57,937 --> 02:02:58,187
thank you madam chair thank you

3449
02:03:01,841 --> 02:03:02,091
my last question is about

3450
02:03:03,810 --> 02:03:04,060
family support I've been on

3451
02:03:07,580 --> 02:03:07,830
the side of family where you are

3452
02:03:09,582 --> 02:03:09,832
helpless, hopeless about how you

3453
02:03:11,651 --> 02:03:11,901
can support your loved one. a

3454
02:03:12,685 --> 02:03:12,935
lot of times we've heard it on

3455
02:03:13,853 --> 02:03:14,103
this committee that when you

3456
02:03:16,089 --> 02:03:16,339
come into gallup you see our

3457
02:03:17,857 --> 02:03:18,107
relatives on the streets you see

3458
02:03:19,559 --> 02:03:19,809
them in certain areas you can't

3459
02:03:20,226 --> 02:03:20,476
help but wonder where is their

3460
02:03:20,894 --> 02:03:21,144
family

3461
02:03:24,397 --> 02:03:24,647
but is there a service or is

3462
02:03:26,065 --> 02:03:26,315
there a resource is there a

3463
02:03:27,867 --> 02:03:28,117
hotline? what do we have for

3464
02:03:29,602 --> 02:03:29,852
families and I ask this too

3465
02:03:31,805 --> 02:03:32,055
because so often even in my

3466
02:03:33,807 --> 02:03:34,057
home community when I ask

3467
02:03:35,642 --> 02:03:35,892
students or kids from the

3468
02:03:36,176 --> 02:03:36,426
neighborhood, you know where's

3469
02:03:37,610 --> 02:03:37,860
your mom? how's your mom? how's

3470
02:03:38,311 --> 02:03:38,561
your dad? how's your uncle

3471
02:03:40,380 --> 02:03:40,630
they haven't been home they're

3472
02:03:42,315 --> 02:03:42,565
on the streets and so the

3473
02:03:44,150 --> 02:03:44,400
kids worry just as much for

3474
02:03:45,819 --> 02:03:46,069
their relatives that are out

3475
02:03:47,821 --> 02:03:48,071
there grandma's grandpa's

3476
02:03:49,589 --> 02:03:49,839
worry about their children their

3477
02:03:50,390 --> 02:03:50,640
nephews their nieces their

3478
02:03:52,091 --> 02:03:52,341
grandchildren who are out there.

3479
02:03:53,827 --> 02:03:54,077
do we have a resource set up to

3480
02:03:56,162 --> 02:03:56,412
help families who are going

3481
02:03:56,796 --> 02:03:57,046
through this and if if not what

3482
02:03:57,464 --> 02:03:57,714
are your thoughts on that?

3483
02:04:02,068 --> 02:04:02,318
madam chairirpresentative Abeda,

3484
02:04:04,070 --> 02:04:04,320
that is a huge need in our

3485
02:04:06,372 --> 02:04:06,622
community we do offer them the

3486
02:04:08,141 --> 02:04:08,391
right to call and connect with

3487
02:04:09,576 --> 02:04:09,826
their family member if that's

3488
02:04:11,611 --> 02:04:11,861
what they choose and we are

3489
02:04:12,412 --> 02:04:12,662
willing to do counseling

3490
02:04:14,314 --> 02:04:14,564
sessions with the family we just

3491
02:04:17,550 --> 02:04:17,800
haven't had any one take us up

3492
02:04:18,284 --> 02:04:18,534
on that and probably a couple of

3493
02:04:19,018 --> 02:04:19,268
years

3494
02:04:21,020 --> 02:04:21,270
but it is well needed

3495
02:04:25,558 --> 02:04:25,808
OK thank you that's madam chair

3496
02:04:26,326 --> 02:04:26,576
and Councilor Bata one of the

3497
02:04:28,128 --> 02:04:28,378
problems we do have to in gallup

3498
02:04:28,828 --> 02:04:29,078
we have mothers grandmothers

3499
02:04:29,496 --> 02:04:29,746
coming

3500
02:04:31,831 --> 02:04:32,081
to visiting me as the mayor and

3501
02:04:32,499 --> 02:04:32,749
say my 12 year old

3502
02:04:33,933 --> 02:04:34,183
is on cannabis

3503
02:04:37,570 --> 02:04:37,820
and we can't we don't know what

3504
02:04:38,404 --> 02:04:38,654
to do and that's one of the

3505
02:04:39,606 --> 02:04:39,856
problems we need to start

3506
02:04:40,440 --> 02:04:40,690
looking into is those gateway

3507
02:04:41,875 --> 02:04:42,125
drugs I don't know if they call

3508
02:04:43,810 --> 02:04:44,060
it a gateway drug but when these

3509
02:04:45,812 --> 02:04:46,062
young kids10,111el years old are

3510
02:04:47,514 --> 02:04:47,764
doing our vaping cannabis you

3511
02:04:48,314 --> 02:04:48,564
can't tell it you it's it's not

3512
02:04:50,450 --> 02:04:50,700
visible and we're gonna have to

3513
02:04:51,885 --> 02:04:52,135
start addressing that really

3514
02:04:53,586 --> 02:04:53,836
soon because I think that's

3515
02:04:54,187 --> 02:04:54,437
the gateway that's starting the

3516
02:04:54,854 --> 02:04:55,104
problems

3517
02:05:01,594 --> 02:05:01,844
OK

3518
02:05:03,563 --> 02:05:03,813
we know that and we thank you

3519
02:05:04,164 --> 02:05:04,414
very much

3520
02:05:07,834 --> 02:05:08,084
the place I visited was the yeah

3521
02:05:09,803 --> 02:05:10,053
this condehohoienter in Phoenix,

3522
02:05:10,470 --> 02:05:10,720
Arizona

3523
02:05:13,573 --> 02:05:13,823
and everything you're talking

3524
02:05:14,240 --> 02:05:14,490
about all these

3525
02:05:16,643 --> 02:05:16,893
I mean you needing somebody to

3526
02:05:17,877 --> 02:05:18,127
do this you're talking about the

3527
02:05:20,146 --> 02:05:20,396
curriculum the intake they

3528
02:05:21,848 --> 02:05:22,098
handle all of it closed loop

3529
02:05:24,184 --> 02:05:24,434
system with resources and so

3530
02:05:25,852 --> 02:05:26,102
they have a better idea of what

3531
02:05:28,121 --> 02:05:28,371
we're spending on on it in

3532
02:05:30,290 --> 02:05:30,540
that whole loop so I'm very very

3533
02:05:33,593 --> 02:05:33,843
excited to to introduce them to

3534
02:05:35,628 --> 02:05:35,878
you and get them going here in

3535
02:05:37,831 --> 02:05:38,081
New Mexico just to build the

3536
02:05:40,333 --> 02:05:40,583
foundation that is very it

3537
02:05:41,868 --> 02:05:42,118
just really blew my mind how

3538
02:05:43,803 --> 02:05:44,053
much they really listened to the

3539
02:05:44,437 --> 02:05:44,687
community of the

3540
02:05:46,639 --> 02:05:46,889
people that were coming in and

3541
02:05:48,308 --> 02:05:48,558
the barriers that were there I

3542
02:05:49,609 --> 02:05:49,859
understand we still have a

3543
02:05:51,778 --> 02:05:52,028
barrier with transportation of

3544
02:05:53,847 --> 02:05:54,097
getting them there to the

3545
02:05:54,414 --> 02:05:54,664
treatment center especially when

3546
02:05:56,282 --> 02:05:56,532
you talk about tribal court

3547
02:05:58,084 --> 02:05:58,334
so we're talking about hubs

3548
02:06:00,086 --> 02:06:00,336
within the Navajo nation where

3549
02:06:02,122 --> 02:06:02,372
we're because we see this with

3550
02:06:04,090 --> 02:06:04,340
the MMIP is that they say I'm

3551
02:06:04,757 --> 02:06:05,007
gonna go get treatment they

3552
02:06:05,358 --> 02:06:05,608
leave here

3553
02:06:06,659 --> 02:06:06,909
then they don't make it there

3554
02:06:09,629 --> 02:06:09,879
so like we need you to take

3555
02:06:11,531 --> 02:06:11,781
place for them to go see well

3556
02:06:12,298 --> 02:06:12,548
and want treatment get them to a

3557
02:06:13,833 --> 02:06:14,083
safe place here maybe the

3558
02:06:15,568 --> 02:06:15,818
chapter and then actually have

3559
02:06:17,537 --> 02:06:17,787
that transportation safely down

3560
02:06:19,639 --> 02:06:19,889
there so we do know where where

3561
02:06:21,574 --> 02:06:21,824
that they did get there and

3562
02:06:22,175 --> 02:06:22,425
handling the intake really

3563
02:06:24,043 --> 02:06:24,293
knowing caseworkers are there

3564
02:06:26,045 --> 02:06:26,295
all under one roof. it is just

3565
02:06:26,713 --> 02:06:26,963
very

3566
02:06:29,883 --> 02:06:30,133
they're doing well and hoping

3567
02:06:31,651 --> 02:06:31,901
we're really getting ready to do

3568
02:06:32,385 --> 02:06:32,635
something here in Albuquerque

3569
02:06:34,053 --> 02:06:34,303
very quickly as they have talked

3570
02:06:34,788 --> 02:06:35,038
to Albuquerque already so very

3571
02:06:38,158 --> 02:06:38,408
been excited to have bring them

3572
02:06:39,826 --> 02:06:40,076
to see talk to you ma'am where

3573
02:06:42,328 --> 02:06:42,578
is it located in phoenix? It is

3574
02:06:44,597 --> 02:06:44,847
I don't know. I went to probably

3575
02:06:47,867 --> 02:06:48,117
6 different facilities within a

3576
02:06:49,602 --> 02:06:49,852
day and a half so there's more

3577
02:06:51,938 --> 02:06:52,188
than one they had the veterans

3578
02:06:54,073 --> 02:06:54,323
outreach and then they had

3579
02:06:55,842 --> 02:06:56,092
housing they had 200 units for

3580
02:06:57,844 --> 02:06:58,094
veterans down there in which

3581
02:06:59,612 --> 02:06:59,862
they I was just really blown

3582
02:07:00,346 --> 02:07:00,596
away about how many units they

3583
02:07:02,382 --> 02:07:02,632
have and even getting them

3584
02:07:04,384 --> 02:07:04,634
through the 9ty day that they

3585
02:07:04,984 --> 02:07:05,234
actually don't tell the person

3586
02:07:08,288 --> 02:07:08,538
well we only can fund you for 60

3587
02:07:10,056 --> 02:07:10,306
days or you're only here for30.

3588
02:07:11,658 --> 02:07:11,908
They actually tried to make sure

3589
02:07:12,325 --> 02:07:12,575
they're all the way for the

3590
02:07:13,593 --> 02:07:13,843
night0 whatever's

3591
02:07:16,329 --> 02:07:16,579
cut by medicaid or whatever

3592
02:07:19,532 --> 02:07:19,782
nation takes care of the rest so

3593
02:07:21,801 --> 02:07:22,051
I'm just really even the

3594
02:07:23,803 --> 02:07:24,053
court ordered they have that

3595
02:07:25,505 --> 02:07:25,755
whole judicial part too where

3596
02:07:26,172 --> 02:07:26,422
they probation and

3597
02:07:31,845 --> 02:07:32,095
reinvented or redid these

3598
02:07:34,047 --> 02:07:34,297
buildings old hospitals senior

3599
02:07:36,282 --> 02:07:36,532
centers and repurposed them and

3600
02:07:38,017 --> 02:07:38,267
it really meant the needs of the

3601
02:07:40,220 --> 02:07:40,470
area and even with our Navajo

3602
02:07:42,088 --> 02:07:42,338
facility that'snavajo

3603
02:07:43,823 --> 02:07:44,073
Nationowned has anavajo nation

3604
02:07:45,692 --> 02:07:45,942
flag outside down there is

3605
02:07:47,660 --> 02:07:47,910
pretty new and even with the

3606
02:07:48,328 --> 02:07:48,578
hydration

3607
02:07:53,633 --> 02:07:53,883
and all right there in that area

3608
02:07:58,138 --> 02:07:58,388
and they provide transportation

3609
02:08:00,106 --> 02:08:00,356
to the doctors and all that for

3610
02:08:01,574 --> 02:08:01,824
the people that are in there so

3611
02:08:05,845 --> 02:08:06,095
keep my fingers crossed that we

3612
02:08:08,314 --> 02:08:08,564
get it going here you know yes

3613
02:08:10,316 --> 02:08:10,566
madam chair'd like to go back to

3614
02:08:11,751 --> 02:08:12,001
uhpresentative Betas

3615
02:08:15,855 --> 02:08:16,105
on on the mandatory seeing very

3616
02:08:16,523 --> 02:08:16,773
few of our judges

3617
02:08:19,659 --> 02:08:19,909
require mandatory treatment

3618
02:08:20,293 --> 02:08:20,543
unless they're dealing

3619
02:08:22,195 --> 02:08:22,445
unless they're dealers

3620
02:08:26,065 --> 02:08:26,315
if they're addicted and they're

3621
02:08:27,834 --> 02:08:28,084
dealing drugs and they're being

3622
02:08:29,803 --> 02:08:30,053
sentenced to prison or something

3623
02:08:31,571 --> 02:08:31,821
like that then they're getting

3624
02:08:33,807 --> 02:08:34,057
some rehab within that but just

3625
02:08:35,909 --> 02:08:36,159
our common users in an

3626
02:08:37,844 --> 02:08:38,094
example we we had a a person

3627
02:08:38,411 --> 02:08:38,661
down on Cole Street

3628
02:08:41,781 --> 02:08:42,031
heavily induced with drugs throw

3629
02:08:43,583 --> 02:08:43,833
a rock through a local business

3630
02:08:45,852 --> 02:08:46,102
window was caught, goes through

3631
02:08:47,787 --> 02:08:48,037
the court and and a week later

3632
02:08:48,521 --> 02:08:48,771
I'm I'm getting a call from here

3633
02:08:50,757 --> 02:08:51,007
because he's in the back parking

3634
02:08:51,424 --> 02:08:51,674
lot

3635
02:08:52,025 --> 02:08:52,275
out of his mind

3636
02:08:57,797 --> 02:08:58,047
nonresponsive they're

3637
02:08:58,264 --> 02:08:58,514
they're they're already back on

3638
02:08:59,566 --> 02:08:59,816
the street so so I don't see our

3639
02:09:02,068 --> 02:09:02,318
courts here for people who are

3640
02:09:06,339 --> 02:09:06,589
heavily are are former DA was

3641
02:09:07,640 --> 02:09:07,890
they're not competent to stand

3642
02:09:08,308 --> 02:09:08,558
trial

3643
02:09:12,145 --> 02:09:12,395
so they're not even gonna press

3644
02:09:12,812 --> 02:09:13,062
charges and get to the judge

3645
02:09:16,082 --> 02:09:16,332
so so that is what we're seeing

3646
02:09:18,084 --> 02:09:18,334
the noncompetency and if

3647
02:09:19,552 --> 02:09:19,802
you're not competent you don't

3648
02:09:20,253 --> 02:09:20,503
go to court you don't go to

3649
02:09:20,787 --> 02:09:21,037
court you don't get committed

3650
02:09:25,625 --> 02:09:25,875
we can refer and and try to

3651
02:09:27,794 --> 02:09:28,044
get them to these these programs

3652
02:09:29,562 --> 02:09:29,812
but then again if we're

3653
02:09:30,330 --> 02:09:30,580
referring and we actually get

3654
02:09:31,564 --> 02:09:31,814
them in the door have enough

3655
02:09:32,265 --> 02:09:32,515
trust and get them in the door

3656
02:09:33,666 --> 02:09:33,916
they're not staying

3657
02:09:36,035 --> 02:09:36,285
they they might get through that

3658
02:09:37,837 --> 02:09:38,087
initial detox

3659
02:09:40,106 --> 02:09:40,356
and then I'm leaving there

3660
02:09:42,108 --> 02:09:42,358
there's and there's nothing to

3661
02:09:43,610 --> 02:09:43,860
stop them legally and and that's

3662
02:09:44,344 --> 02:09:44,594
what we're running into. if

3663
02:09:44,978 --> 02:09:45,228
I'm not mistaken arizona

3664
02:09:46,479 --> 02:09:46,729
has a mandatory commitment

3665
02:09:50,383 --> 02:09:50,633
I know the governor tried doing

3666
02:09:51,851 --> 02:09:52,101
that in a special session a

3667
02:09:53,887 --> 02:09:54,137
couple years ago I believe. She

3668
02:09:55,588 --> 02:09:55,838
tried doing that here in New

3669
02:09:57,824 --> 02:09:58,074
Mexico and Gallllup would be

3670
02:09:59,859 --> 02:10:00,109
very favorable of that because

3671
02:10:01,795 --> 02:10:02,045
our law enforcement know the

3672
02:10:02,462 --> 02:10:02,712
repeat offenders

3673
02:10:04,364 --> 02:10:04,614
they're at the point now they're

3674
02:10:06,399 --> 02:10:06,649
throwing their hands up of why

3675
02:10:07,066 --> 02:10:07,316
am I even picking him up

3676
02:10:10,103 --> 02:10:10,353
they're frustrated you know we

3677
02:10:12,305 --> 02:10:12,555
we we see it they're going to

3678
02:10:14,073 --> 02:10:14,323
be right back on the street. Our

3679
02:10:16,309 --> 02:10:16,559
businesses are our citizens are

3680
02:10:18,211 --> 02:10:18,461
getting frustrated and that goes

3681
02:10:19,846 --> 02:10:20,096
back to Representative Garcia's

3682
02:10:22,081 --> 02:10:22,331
now the stereotype of we're

3683
02:10:24,083 --> 02:10:24,333
throwing our hands up and we now

3684
02:10:25,585 --> 02:10:25,835
we're reacting against the

3685
02:10:26,152 --> 02:10:26,402
person

3686
02:10:28,154 --> 02:10:28,404
versus against the disability.

3687
02:10:31,858 --> 02:10:32,108
so if we can do some mandatory

3688
02:10:32,525 --> 02:10:32,775
type thing where we can get them

3689
02:10:33,193 --> 02:10:33,443
in the door

3690
02:10:36,296 --> 02:10:36,546
and we can start getting them

3691
02:10:39,732 --> 02:10:39,982
clean and and responsive and

3692
02:10:40,400 --> 02:10:40,650
competent to accept

3693
02:10:42,402 --> 02:10:42,652
the workforce the the the

3694
02:10:43,703 --> 02:10:43,953
counseling the

3695
02:10:47,574 --> 02:10:47,824
repairs with their family the

3696
02:10:50,343 --> 02:10:50,593
housing all that whole circle

3697
02:10:52,078 --> 02:10:52,328
that's needed not one component

3698
02:10:54,080 --> 02:10:54,330
is going to cure anybody it's

3699
02:10:56,082 --> 02:10:56,332
got to be a full component and

3700
02:10:58,084 --> 02:10:58,334
and I'm speaking from not

3701
02:11:00,286 --> 02:11:00,536
experience but but from my son I

3702
02:11:02,288 --> 02:11:02,538
I I will say my my son went

3703
02:11:04,124 --> 02:11:04,374
through a heavy addiction and

3704
02:11:06,126 --> 02:11:06,376
and it took prison for him to

3705
02:11:07,894 --> 02:11:08,144
get clean and that was a

3706
02:11:09,896 --> 02:11:10,146
mandatory commitment because it

3707
02:11:11,831 --> 02:11:12,081
was prison. It it wasn't I

3708
02:11:12,432 --> 02:11:12,682
want to be there

3709
02:11:14,400 --> 02:11:14,650
and and I'm happy to say two

3710
02:11:14,968 --> 02:11:15,218
years

3711
02:11:19,873 --> 02:11:20,123
that he's very involved with the

3712
02:11:20,540 --> 02:11:20,790
community now and clean.

3713
02:11:22,342 --> 02:11:22,592
and and a product productive

3714
02:11:23,743 --> 02:11:23,993
citizen that's what we're

3715
02:11:24,277 --> 02:11:24,527
looking for

3716
02:11:27,680 --> 02:11:27,930
but but it has to be a mandatory

3717
02:11:28,448 --> 02:11:28,698
and and I would rather see it

3718
02:11:30,283 --> 02:11:30,533
mandatory to a treatment than

3719
02:11:30,984 --> 02:11:31,234
mandatory to a prison.

3720
02:11:32,185 --> 02:11:32,435
to be honest

3721
02:11:34,554 --> 02:11:34,804
because because I will be honest

3722
02:11:35,188 --> 02:11:35,438
with you there too.

3723
02:11:38,124 --> 02:11:38,374
Dad it was easier for me to get

3724
02:11:39,759 --> 02:11:40,009
drugs in prison than it was on

3725
02:11:40,393 --> 02:11:40,643
the streets

3726
02:11:41,761 --> 02:11:42,011
I will be blunt with that

3727
02:11:44,364 --> 02:11:44,614
I think that's the other thing

3728
02:11:45,598 --> 02:11:45,848
too with arizona is they have

3729
02:11:53,807 --> 02:11:54,057
there were some questions about

3730
02:11:55,575 --> 02:11:55,825
the economic development of the

3731
02:11:57,544 --> 02:11:57,794
area of the industrial park

3732
02:11:59,879 --> 02:12:00,129
because before I got here it is

3733
02:12:02,315 --> 02:12:02,565
a whole conundrum with data

3734
02:12:03,817 --> 02:12:04,067
centers

3735
02:12:06,085 --> 02:12:06,335
but you get it very briefly

3736
02:12:10,323 --> 02:12:10,573
madam chair we'd be happy to

3737
02:12:12,492 --> 02:12:12,742
we we did have a brief

3738
02:12:15,628 --> 02:12:15,878
interest from a data center

3739
02:12:17,831 --> 02:12:18,081
coming in. there there was

3740
02:12:20,100 --> 02:12:20,350
some discussions at this

3741
02:12:21,835 --> 02:12:22,085
point they're not on the table.

3742
02:12:24,104 --> 02:12:24,354
We we do have a manufacturing

3743
02:12:25,872 --> 02:12:26,122
facility wanting to come in that

3744
02:12:26,539 --> 02:12:26,789
is going to manufacture solar

3745
02:12:27,207 --> 02:12:27,457
panels

3746
02:12:30,410 --> 02:12:30,660
unfortunately he he talked in

3747
02:12:31,044 --> 02:12:31,294
his in his

3748
02:12:35,615 --> 02:12:35,865
portfolio he called it a data

3749
02:12:37,550 --> 02:12:37,800
center, but I would like to call

3750
02:12:38,351 --> 02:12:38,601
it an operating center it it

3751
02:12:40,353 --> 02:12:40,603
it's it's it's the technological

3752
02:12:43,590 --> 02:12:43,840
portion to control his machines

3753
02:12:45,592 --> 02:12:45,842
we're not talking oracle Project

3754
02:12:47,627 --> 02:12:47,877
Jupiter we're not talking big

3755
02:12:48,361 --> 02:12:48,611
data center where we're housing

3756
02:12:50,530 --> 02:12:50,780
and farming out stuff Ai we're

3757
02:12:51,264 --> 02:12:51,514
we're talking

3758
02:12:54,134 --> 02:12:54,384
to compete with the Chinese

3759
02:12:56,102 --> 02:12:56,352
we're we're going to have to

3760
02:12:58,404 --> 02:12:58,654
have some machines doing some of

3761
02:13:00,340 --> 02:13:00,590
this intensive work. Well this

3762
02:13:02,108 --> 02:13:02,358
is an operation center to run

3763
02:13:04,110 --> 02:13:04,360
that so it's a data center to

3764
02:13:07,614 --> 02:13:07,864
run his machines so we we have a

3765
02:13:09,849 --> 02:13:10,099
big interest in a production

3766
02:13:12,418 --> 02:13:12,668
facility of solar panels they

3767
02:13:14,120 --> 02:13:14,370
want to go into making the glass

3768
02:13:16,389 --> 02:13:16,639
making all they're heavily

3769
02:13:19,592 --> 02:13:19,842
involved in a right now on

3770
02:13:20,593 --> 02:13:20,843
providing solar and

3771
02:13:21,027 --> 02:13:21,277
hydroelectric

3772
02:13:24,063 --> 02:13:24,313
to a company there to a

3773
02:13:25,832 --> 02:13:26,082
country not a company a country

3774
02:13:27,634 --> 02:13:27,884
there and they want to produce

3775
02:13:29,569 --> 02:13:29,819
them here they are going to need

3776
02:13:30,303 --> 02:13:30,553
a lot of land to put solar

3777
02:13:31,838 --> 02:13:32,088
panels up because we cannot

3778
02:13:32,405 --> 02:13:32,655
supply them the electricity

3779
02:13:35,842 --> 02:13:36,092
we just don't have enough we

3780
02:13:36,443 --> 02:13:36,693
can't even buy enough into

3781
02:13:38,044 --> 02:13:38,294
gallup to provide so they're

3782
02:13:39,779 --> 02:13:40,029
gonna have to use a lot of the

3783
02:13:40,513 --> 02:13:40,763
land for solar. there is a

3784
02:13:43,583 --> 02:13:43,833
stereotype on water we have

3785
02:13:44,184 --> 02:13:44,434
no agreements right now with

3786
02:13:45,852 --> 02:13:46,102
them for water. there isn't

3787
02:13:47,620 --> 02:13:47,870
interest to buy our treated

3788
02:13:48,221 --> 02:13:48,471
affluent water

3789
02:13:51,591 --> 02:13:51,841
which we have an abundance of

3790
02:13:52,358 --> 02:13:52,608
because right now we put it in

3791
02:13:54,060 --> 02:13:54,310
the Perco and it goes down

3792
02:13:55,995 --> 02:13:56,245
river. it it's going into

3793
02:13:58,064 --> 02:13:58,314
arizona so we would rather use

3794
02:14:01,801 --> 02:14:02,051
that to a true purpose of of

3795
02:14:04,370 --> 02:14:04,620
treating it and the logistics is

3796
02:14:06,139 --> 02:14:06,389
there. they're going into an old

3797
02:14:08,575 --> 02:14:08,825
car strip mine that used

3798
02:14:10,076 --> 02:14:10,326
affluent water for dust control

3799
02:14:12,445 --> 02:14:12,695
so that the the mechanisms

3800
02:14:14,147 --> 02:14:14,397
they'll have to replace the

3801
02:14:15,582 --> 02:14:15,832
pumps because they're old. The

3802
02:14:16,349 --> 02:14:16,599
pumps the lines are there to get

3803
02:14:17,817 --> 02:14:18,067
them the affluent water from our

3804
02:14:18,485 --> 02:14:18,735
plant we

3805
02:14:20,120 --> 02:14:20,370
have well over a million gallons

3806
02:14:20,820 --> 02:14:21,070
a day that we can supply them

3807
02:14:21,888 --> 02:14:22,138
sell them

3808
02:14:26,392 --> 02:14:26,642
and and it was pledged to other

3809
02:14:27,060 --> 02:14:27,310
companies in the past

3810
02:14:30,063 --> 02:14:30,313
we felt we don't want to pledge

3811
02:14:31,831 --> 02:14:32,081
it that way we would prefer him

3812
02:14:32,565 --> 02:14:32,815
to go through the state leadA

3813
02:14:33,233 --> 02:14:33,483
process

3814
02:14:35,635 --> 02:14:35,885
through the local leader process

3815
02:14:36,336 --> 02:14:36,586
to where if we're giving them a

3816
02:14:38,004 --> 02:14:38,254
discount on that water it's

3817
02:14:39,606 --> 02:14:39,856
through a process not a

3818
02:14:41,574 --> 02:14:41,824
handshake deal of this is what

3819
02:14:42,242 --> 02:14:42,492
you promised us but more of an

3820
02:14:42,942 --> 02:14:43,192
economic deal

3821
02:14:46,346 --> 02:14:46,596
this is to bring you in so we're

3822
02:14:47,580 --> 02:14:47,830
if we're talking any type of

3823
02:14:48,248 --> 02:14:48,498
freshwater

3824
02:14:51,618 --> 02:14:51,868
it is for the restrooms for

3825
02:14:52,185 --> 02:14:52,435
housing for kitchenettes

3826
02:14:55,588 --> 02:14:55,838
just like we would supply to

3827
02:14:57,590 --> 02:14:57,840
Walmart or any other business

3828
02:15:00,093 --> 02:15:00,343
coming in water to operate for

3829
02:15:01,828 --> 02:15:02,078
the public, not for the

3830
02:15:03,830 --> 02:15:04,080
manufacturing. The only water we

3831
02:15:05,932 --> 02:15:06,182
will pledge and haven't yet is a

3832
02:15:06,566 --> 02:15:06,816
fluent water

3833
02:15:07,834 --> 02:15:08,084
for their manufacturing

3834
02:15:10,270 --> 02:15:10,520
thank you thank you for that

3835
02:15:11,771 --> 02:15:12,021
clarification because they think

3836
02:15:12,472 --> 02:15:12,722
there's a lot of companies in

3837
02:15:14,274 --> 02:15:14,524
that misconception too when they

3838
02:15:16,309 --> 02:15:16,559
say data center because that

3839
02:15:19,579 --> 02:15:19,829
reliance on someone else

3840
02:15:21,548 --> 02:15:21,798
housing your storage and all

3841
02:15:22,215 --> 02:15:22,465
that seems to be

3842
02:15:25,585 --> 02:15:25,835
it seems to be lower cost

3843
02:15:26,319 --> 02:15:26,569
especially if even with energy I

3844
02:15:28,087 --> 02:15:28,337
know some people on the

3845
02:15:30,089 --> 02:15:30,339
hazardous materials so we talked

3846
02:15:31,524 --> 02:15:31,774
about thes andRs the small

3847
02:15:33,660 --> 02:15:33,910
nuclear reactors and uranium and

3848
02:15:34,360 --> 02:15:34,610
energy

3849
02:15:36,596 --> 02:15:36,846
because as far as I know I

3850
02:15:38,298 --> 02:15:38,548
haven't had anybody kind of do

3851
02:15:41,601 --> 02:15:41,851
any restrictions on water yet or

3852
02:15:43,603 --> 02:15:43,853
do any restrictions on energy

3853
02:15:45,605 --> 02:15:45,855
and how much we but we're

3854
02:15:47,807 --> 02:15:48,057
consuming we're consuming a

3855
02:15:50,276 --> 02:15:50,526
great amounts and it is it's

3856
02:15:52,378 --> 02:15:52,628
there it's reality and some

3857
02:15:53,847 --> 02:15:54,097
people are really fighting

3858
02:15:54,447 --> 02:15:54,697
against thinking we're just

3859
02:15:55,849 --> 02:15:56,099
gonna cut everything off by its

3860
02:15:57,884 --> 02:15:58,134
like there has to be some

3861
02:15:59,552 --> 02:15:59,802
compromise there because in

3862
02:16:00,553 --> 02:16:00,803
order to have economic

3863
02:16:03,590 --> 02:16:03,840
development there are some

3864
02:16:04,157 --> 02:16:04,407
things that are necessary for

3865
02:16:06,025 --> 02:16:06,275
some of these companies

3866
02:16:06,526 --> 02:16:06,776
especially when you talk about

3867
02:16:09,562 --> 02:16:09,812
trust and reliability and not

3868
02:16:10,296 --> 02:16:10,546
even waiting for somebody else

3869
02:16:12,332 --> 02:16:12,582
to do that for you relying on

3870
02:16:14,067 --> 02:16:14,317
some other entity to come in if

3871
02:16:16,035 --> 02:16:16,285
you can provide it all there. it

3872
02:16:18,371 --> 02:16:18,621
is more I think advantageous for

3873
02:16:19,906 --> 02:16:20,156
a company to come in but thank

3874
02:16:21,574 --> 02:16:21,824
you for that clarification madam

3875
02:16:22,308 --> 02:16:22,558
Jerem let you know we've been

3876
02:16:24,077 --> 02:16:24,327
upfront and honest with this

3877
02:16:25,678 --> 02:16:25,928
company. This is the only power

3878
02:16:26,346 --> 02:16:26,596
we can provide you.

3879
02:16:28,381 --> 02:16:28,631
this is all we can provide there

3880
02:16:30,216 --> 02:16:30,466
all the rest must come from

3881
02:16:31,818 --> 02:16:32,068
behind the meter and and that's

3882
02:16:32,552 --> 02:16:32,802
why they're looking at

3883
02:16:34,087 --> 02:16:34,337
purchasing more land for their

3884
02:16:36,089 --> 02:16:36,339
solar to produce and such and

3885
02:16:37,857 --> 02:16:38,107
and we've been very upfront with

3886
02:16:38,525 --> 02:16:38,775
them on water

3887
02:16:40,326 --> 02:16:40,576
you know they they were talking4

3888
02:16:42,061 --> 02:16:42,311
or ive phases and we can

3889
02:16:43,663 --> 02:16:43,913
probably get them enough

3890
02:16:44,597 --> 02:16:44,847
affluent water for two phases so

3891
02:16:45,865 --> 02:16:46,115
that's all they're looking at at

3892
02:16:47,867 --> 02:16:48,117
this point until they can find

3893
02:16:49,836 --> 02:16:50,086
other sources of water but we

3894
02:16:51,538 --> 02:16:51,788
are not pledging our Navajo

3895
02:16:52,272 --> 02:16:52,522
Gallup water supply project when

3896
02:16:54,607 --> 02:16:54,857
it comes in our our public

3897
02:16:55,175 --> 02:16:55,425
entity

3898
02:16:56,309 --> 02:16:56,559
come first

3899
02:17:01,614 --> 02:17:01,864
right now and then we've also

3900
02:17:03,817 --> 02:17:04,067
told them we have to withholdX

3901
02:17:04,517 --> 02:17:04,767
amount of affluent water because

3902
02:17:06,419 --> 02:17:06,669
we do use it to water our golf

3903
02:17:09,589 --> 02:17:09,839
course and you know we've taken

3904
02:17:10,256 --> 02:17:10,506
almost all of our parks

3905
02:17:12,425 --> 02:17:12,675
off of the watering system now.

3906
02:17:14,360 --> 02:17:14,610
thank you state government

3907
02:17:16,095 --> 02:17:16,345
you've given us the the

3908
02:17:19,599 --> 02:17:19,849
resources to turf almost all of

3909
02:17:20,333 --> 02:17:20,583
our parks were down to 2 parks

3910
02:17:21,568 --> 02:17:21,818
now that we're looking at the

3911
02:17:22,202 --> 02:17:22,452
future of getting rid of the

3912
02:17:24,070 --> 02:17:24,320
grass and going to turf and

3913
02:17:26,339 --> 02:17:26,589
we'll be100% artificial turf

3914
02:17:29,843 --> 02:17:30,093
with no watering in our parks so

3915
02:17:31,611 --> 02:17:31,861
we're we're working on that so

3916
02:17:32,345 --> 02:17:32,595
we've been upfront and honest

3917
02:17:34,114 --> 02:17:34,364
with this company and the public

3918
02:17:36,082 --> 02:17:36,332
that this is all we can supply

3919
02:17:39,586 --> 02:17:39,836
you and nothing you go above and

3920
02:17:40,320 --> 02:17:40,570
beyond while that's on you you

3921
02:17:40,987 --> 02:17:41,237
you you cannot

3922
02:17:41,688 --> 02:17:41,938
expand beyond what we can give

3923
02:17:42,355 --> 02:17:42,605
you

3924
02:17:45,592 --> 02:17:45,842
thank you it ain't hope with our

3925
02:17:46,326 --> 02:17:46,576

4029
02:29:08,274 --> 02:29:08,524
what I will call it it's a long

4030
02:29:10,276 --> 02:29:10,526
name and we've thought about

4031
02:29:12,245 --> 02:29:12,495
changing the name but since we

4032
02:29:14,481 --> 02:29:14,731
serve community we're keeping it

4033
02:29:17,817 --> 02:29:18,067
for now we are all of our

4034
02:29:20,019 --> 02:29:20,269
strategic direction is around

4035
02:29:23,623 --> 02:29:23,873
communities so our official

4036
02:29:26,092 --> 02:29:26,342
mission is to bridge access to

4037
02:29:28,094 --> 02:29:28,344
knowledge space technology

4038
02:29:29,562 --> 02:29:29,812
people and capital to

4039
02:29:32,565 --> 02:29:32,815
create stronger communities

4040
02:29:35,568 --> 02:29:35,818
resilient local economies and

4041
02:29:38,371 --> 02:29:38,621
pathways to prosperity we

4042
02:29:40,073 --> 02:29:40,323
activate life changing

4043
02:29:43,810 --> 02:29:44,060
opportunities with indigenous

4044
02:29:45,912 --> 02:29:46,162
people and other economically

4045
02:29:48,214 --> 02:29:48,464
distressed communities to build

4046
02:29:51,584 --> 02:29:51,834
community economic sovereignty

4047
02:29:55,588 --> 02:29:55,838
we've been around since 204, our

4048
02:29:57,590 --> 02:29:57,840
first investor was a local

4049
02:29:59,626 --> 02:29:59,876
pueblo we started as a non

4050
02:30:03,863 --> 02:30:04,113
p ro fi t but we also had a Vc

4051
02:30:07,801 --> 02:30:08,051
arm which is a fund we actually

4052
02:30:09,769 --> 02:30:10,019
ran two funds that were around

4053
02:30:14,107 --> 02:30:14,357
up until a year and a half ago

4054
02:30:16,376 --> 02:30:16,626
when we closed the fund so both

4055
02:30:20,580 --> 02:30:20,830
were successful and the idea

4056
02:30:21,247 --> 02:30:21,497
was that

4057
02:30:26,085 --> 02:30:26,335
it we wanted to find investment

4058
02:30:29,556 --> 02:30:29,806
ready businesses led by

4059
02:30:31,591 --> 02:30:31,841
indigenous people we couldn't

4060
02:30:33,860 --> 02:30:34,110
find them so we had to just

4061
02:30:36,095 --> 02:30:36,345
recalibrate a little bit and

4062
02:30:38,364 --> 02:30:38,614
really go to that group and

4063
02:30:40,300 --> 02:30:40,550
teach them how to do that and

4064
02:30:41,601 --> 02:30:41,851
get investment ready.

4065
02:30:47,574 --> 02:30:47,824
that is kind of where I come

4066
02:30:48,274 --> 02:30:48,524
into the picture. I was one of

4067
02:30:50,076 --> 02:30:50,326
those native entrepreneurs in

4068
02:30:52,078 --> 02:30:52,328
residence at the time I was a

4069
02:30:52,712 --> 02:30:52,962
high school teacher at the

4070
02:30:54,147 --> 02:30:54,397
Native American Community

4071
02:30:56,082 --> 02:30:56,332
academy and I was on my own path

4072
02:30:58,351 --> 02:30:58,601
to recovery right my dad died of

4073
02:31:00,053 --> 02:31:00,303
cirrhosis of the liver so

4074
02:31:01,788 --> 02:31:02,038
that's just something you know

4075
02:31:02,489 --> 02:31:02,739
this conversation that we had

4076
02:31:04,090 --> 02:31:04,340
previously really hit home you

4077
02:31:05,859 --> 02:31:06,109
know for me and what gave me

4078
02:31:07,627 --> 02:31:07,877
hope is entrepreneurship. you

4079
02:31:08,328 --> 02:31:08,578
know what gave me hope is being

4080
02:31:11,631 --> 02:31:11,881
in school and getting my degree

4081
02:31:12,365 --> 02:31:12,615
and that's when I got connected

4082
02:31:14,100 --> 02:31:14,350
to New Mexicounity capital we

4083
02:31:14,701 --> 02:31:14,951
see that there's

4084
02:31:17,804 --> 02:31:18,054
a lot of societal challenges but

4085
02:31:19,539 --> 02:31:19,789
we feel like we're a community

4086
02:31:21,574 --> 02:31:21,824
solution, right we know that

4087
02:31:22,542 --> 02:31:22,792
over 6% of New Mexico businesses

4088
02:31:24,277 --> 02:31:24,527
are native owned and we also

4089
02:31:26,045 --> 02:31:26,295
know that indigenous founders

4090
02:31:28,181 --> 02:31:28,431
receive less than0.5% of venture

4091
02:31:29,816 --> 02:31:30,066
capital and philanthropic

4092
02:31:31,818 --> 02:31:32,068
funding. so that's what our

4093
02:31:32,452 --> 02:31:32,702
that's why we're here that's why

4094
02:31:34,087 --> 02:31:34,337
we wanted to talk with you all

4095
02:31:35,622 --> 02:31:35,872
to just really start building

4096
02:31:37,624 --> 02:31:37,874
relations and kinship

4097
02:31:39,926 --> 02:31:40,176
connected so like Liz mentioned

4098
02:31:41,594 --> 02:31:41,844
we really activate life changing

4099
02:31:42,295 --> 02:31:42,545
opportunities and we wanted to

4100
02:31:44,130 --> 02:31:44,380
show you all some cases and

4101
02:31:44,697 --> 02:31:44,947
examples of how we've done that

4102
02:31:47,867 --> 02:31:48,117
in the past and I'm following

4103
02:31:49,836 --> 02:31:50,086
you all have a presentation of

4104
02:31:51,771 --> 02:31:52,021
our slide deck. So I'm going to

4105
02:31:52,505 --> 02:31:52,755
the deck that is entitled core

4106
02:31:55,875 --> 02:31:56,125
annualgras one of the

4107
02:31:57,844 --> 02:31:58,094
culturally grounded business

4108
02:31:59,579 --> 02:31:59,829
education workshops that we do

4109
02:32:00,280 --> 02:32:00,530

all were talking about intake

4112
02:32:05,819 --> 02:32:06,069
and people needing support

4113
02:32:07,587 --> 02:32:07,837
what we do right away is we

4114
02:32:08,321 --> 02:32:08,571
offer a holistic support to

4115
02:32:10,290 --> 02:32:10,540
native entrepreneurs we take

4116
02:32:13,560 --> 02:32:13,810
in again what their needs are

4117
02:32:14,227 --> 02:32:14,477
what their challenges and right

4118
02:32:14,894 --> 02:32:15,144
away we give

4119
02:32:16,396 --> 02:32:16,646
them access to one on one

4120
02:32:18,298 --> 02:32:18,548
coaching and support. We give

4121
02:32:20,300 --> 02:32:20,550
them a digital wallet for their

4122
02:32:22,302 --> 02:32:22,552
online subscriptions to get aite

4123
02:32:24,270 --> 02:32:24,520
we also offer laptops we know

4124
02:32:26,072 --> 02:32:26,322
that resources and access to

4125
02:32:28,074 --> 02:32:28,324
technologies is a real barrier

4126
02:32:29,809 --> 02:32:30,059
so we've been over we've been

4127
02:32:30,410 --> 02:32:30,660
able to literally give out

4128
02:32:32,278 --> 02:32:32,528
thousands of laptops across

4129
02:32:34,514 --> 02:32:34,764
Mexico and then provide access

4130
02:32:37,784 --> 02:32:38,034
to actual cash resources so back

4131
02:32:39,819 --> 02:32:40,069
starting in 2017 when we started

4132
02:32:40,520 --> 02:32:40,770
our business marketing

4133
02:32:43,823 --> 02:32:44,073
essentials we offer everyone1200

4134
02:32:44,557 --> 02:32:44,807
dollars to be able to help

4135
02:32:45,091 --> 02:32:45,341
them with their marketing

4136
02:32:46,392 --> 02:32:46,642
during our business and

4137
02:32:49,562 --> 02:32:49,812
marketing essentials class

4138
02:32:50,163 --> 02:32:50,413
and before in our native

4139
02:32:51,831 --> 02:32:52,081
entrepreneur and residence

4140
02:32:52,532 --> 02:32:52,782
program we offered all of our

4141
02:32:55,802 --> 02:32:56,052
entrepreneurs15,000 dollars plus

4142
02:32:57,570 --> 02:32:57,820
six months of mentorship. That

4143
02:32:58,304 --> 02:32:58,554
was life changing for me. that's

4144
02:33:00,006 --> 02:33:00,256
what we talked about when we we

4145
02:33:01,508 --> 02:33:01,758
offer life changing

4146
02:33:02,242 --> 02:33:02,492
opportunities because that's how

4147
02:33:03,777 --> 02:33:04,027
I was able to become an

4148
02:33:05,879 --> 02:33:06,129
entrepreneur shift from my

4149
02:33:08,081 --> 02:33:08,331
full time job as a as a teacher

4150
02:33:09,849 --> 02:33:10,099
to also being an entrepreneur

4151
02:33:11,851 --> 02:33:12,101
and own a storefront in downtown

4152
02:33:13,620 --> 02:33:13,870
Albuquerque. So these are the

4153
02:33:14,220 --> 02:33:14,470
types of things that we do

4154
02:33:14,754 --> 02:33:15,004
like wement

4155
02:33:17,791 --> 02:33:18,041
we access to community capital

4156
02:33:20,059 --> 02:33:20,309
so that's micro grants tech tool

4157
02:33:22,028 --> 02:33:22,278
kits nonpredatory loans,

4158
02:33:24,097 --> 02:33:24,347
networks of peers and allies and

4159
02:33:25,598 --> 02:33:25,848
I think that's how we've also

4160
02:33:26,332 --> 02:33:26,582
been able to strengthen our

4161
02:33:28,101 --> 02:33:28,351
indigenous workforce and

4162
02:33:31,604 --> 02:33:31,854
business owners and then we also

4163
02:33:33,773 --> 02:33:34,023
offer fiscal sponsorship so you

4164
02:33:34,507 --> 02:33:34,757
all mentioned right there's

4165
02:33:36,109 --> 02:33:36,359
always a lack of fiscal sponsors

4166
02:33:37,877 --> 02:33:38,127
within our community who's able

4167
02:33:39,579 --> 02:33:39,829
to take in these funds these

4168
02:33:41,548 --> 02:33:41,798
capital stacks and be able to

4169
02:33:42,282 --> 02:33:42,532
manage programs and that's

4170
02:33:44,117 --> 02:33:44,367
really what we focused on we

4171
02:33:44,784 --> 02:33:45,034
have 22 different

4172
02:33:47,587 --> 02:33:47,837
emerging projects around the

4173
02:33:48,354 --> 02:33:48,604
state that we act as a fiscal

4174
02:33:50,123 --> 02:33:50,373
sponsor and what has really

4175
02:33:51,825 --> 02:33:52,075
helped us is that we have our

4176
02:33:52,559 --> 02:33:52,809
back end we have a solid

4177
02:33:54,060 --> 02:33:54,310
foundation as a venture capital

4178
02:33:56,296 --> 02:33:56,546
fund operating for over 20 years

4179
02:33:58,064 --> 02:33:58,314
we have two accountants and we

4180
02:34:00,033 --> 02:34:00,283
really focus on technology to

4181
02:34:00,667 --> 02:34:00,917
help with program management.

4182
02:34:04,304 --> 02:34:04,554
So on our next slide, Liz is

4183
02:34:06,039 --> 02:34:06,289
going to talk about you know why

4184
02:34:07,907 --> 02:34:08,157
we're here and why should we

4185
02:34:08,475 --> 02:34:08,725
invest in more native

4186
02:34:09,809 --> 02:34:10,059
entrepreneurs in New Mexico

4187
02:34:10,376 --> 02:34:10,626
community capital.

4188
02:34:25,558 --> 02:34:25,808
So New Mexico is a hot spot as

4189
02:34:27,594 --> 02:34:27,844
I'm sure you are all feeling

4190
02:34:29,596 --> 02:34:29,846
with perhaps different

4191
02:34:32,298 --> 02:34:32,548
leadership coming in

4192
02:34:36,269 --> 02:34:36,519
different way and right it is

4193
02:34:39,606 --> 02:34:39,856
the second state number 2 for

4194
02:34:43,576 --> 02:34:43,826
native owned businesses in 2025

4195
02:34:46,279 --> 02:34:46,529
so our work over the last decade

4196
02:34:49,883 --> 02:34:50,133
has helped New Mexico stand out

4197
02:34:50,550 --> 02:34:50,800
as one of the strongest

4198
02:34:51,117 --> 02:34:51,367
environment

4199
02:34:54,120 --> 02:34:54,370
s in the country for native

4200
02:34:56,289 --> 02:34:56,539
entrepreneurs and we're the only

4201
02:34:59,592 --> 02:34:59,842
native led nonprofit that

4202
02:35:01,594 --> 02:35:01,844
provides services to business

4203
02:35:03,930 --> 02:35:04,180
owners statewide and all tribal

4204
02:35:04,597 --> 02:35:04,847
affiliation.

4205
02:35:06,499 --> 02:35:06,749
affiliations sorry

4206
02:35:07,801 --> 02:35:08,051
so

4207
02:35:11,805 --> 02:35:12,055
we've done a lot in the past10

4208
02:35:16,276 --> 02:35:16,526
years so officially in 2014 we

4209
02:35:18,211 --> 02:35:18,461
received a grant from the

4210
02:35:20,046 --> 02:35:20,296
administration for Native

4211
02:35:24,083 --> 02:35:24,333
Americans which kicked off ourE

4212
02:35:25,785 --> 02:35:26,035
program native entrepreneur and

4213
02:35:28,388 --> 02:35:28,638
residents program a very first

4214
02:35:30,089 --> 02:35:30,339
company to go through the

4215
02:35:32,258 --> 02:35:32,508
program was bo and arrow brewery

4216
02:35:37,564 --> 02:35:37,814
sohya Shepherd worked at NMCc

4217
02:35:38,198 --> 02:35:38,448
she was a financial analyst

4218
02:35:41,801 --> 02:35:42,051
so she took it to the next step.

4219
02:35:44,003 --> 02:35:44,253
she was ready to take the leap

4220
02:35:47,574 --> 02:35:47,824
and she helped formulate and

4221
02:35:49,509 --> 02:35:49,759
build the curriculum for the

4222
02:35:50,076 --> 02:35:50,326
NMCc program so

4223
02:35:54,013 --> 02:35:54,263
she was the first of46

4224
02:35:56,116 --> 02:35:56,366
entrepreneurs to go through the

4225
02:35:58,251 --> 02:35:58,501
six month program but what we

4226
02:36:02,088 --> 02:36:02,338
found was we needed more basics

4227
02:36:05,558 --> 02:36:05,808
and essentials so Jake created

4228
02:36:06,526 --> 02:36:06,776
another program calledinancial

4229
02:36:09,829 --> 02:36:10,079
Business basicsics we then moved

4230
02:36:13,566 --> 02:36:13,816
to digital marketing and

4231
02:36:16,336 --> 02:36:16,586
media basics and now where we've

4232
02:36:18,471 --> 02:36:18,721
landed is business and marketing

4233
02:36:20,006 --> 02:36:20,256
essentials so all of those

4234
02:36:20,607 --> 02:36:20,857
program

4235
02:36:25,779 --> 02:36:26,029
s we've put 864 people through

4236
02:36:28,281 --> 02:36:28,531
various programs every single

4237
02:36:32,051 --> 02:36:32,301
one has received a stipend so

4238
02:36:34,254 --> 02:36:34,504
anywhere from1200 dollars

4239
02:36:37,590 --> 02:36:37,840
to15,000 for the six month

4240
02:36:39,592 --> 02:36:39,842
program that is included in

4241
02:36:41,961 --> 02:36:42,211
every grant that we provide to

4242
02:36:42,595 --> 02:36:42,845
funders

4243
02:36:46,099 --> 02:36:46,349
it is an essential piece of the

4244
02:36:49,569 --> 02:36:49,819
work that we do people not only

4245
02:36:50,303 --> 02:36:50,553
need it for the business they

4246
02:36:52,338 --> 02:36:52,588
need it for child care they need

4247
02:36:55,842 --> 02:36:56,092
it for food we think what are

4248
02:36:56,643 --> 02:36:56,893
the hurdles that are keeping

4249
02:36:58,111 --> 02:36:58,361
entrepreneurs from doing their

4250
02:37:03,550 --> 02:37:03,800
work so that amounts to10,000

4251
02:37:06,052 --> 02:37:06,302
over10,000 hours in training so

4252
02:37:08,054 --> 02:37:08,304
I'm oh you're looking at the new

4253
02:37:12,025 --> 02:37:12,275
pack 228,000 in tech toolkits

4254
02:37:15,895 --> 02:37:16,145
the value of that mentorship is

4255
02:37:18,064 --> 02:37:18,314
almost a million dollars that

4256
02:37:21,835 --> 02:37:22,085
we've provided and we have

4257
02:37:26,072 --> 02:37:26,322
received14.5 million in grants

4258
02:37:28,341 --> 02:37:28,591
we have only received one state

4259
02:37:32,312 --> 02:37:32,562
grant from IAD we did a program

4260
02:37:33,780 --> 02:37:34,030
just this earlier this year

4261
02:37:37,784 --> 02:37:38,034
we did two business and

4262
02:37:38,551 --> 02:37:38,801
marketing essentials classes

4263
02:37:43,556 --> 02:37:43,806
awesome thank you Liz for

4264
02:37:44,090 --> 02:37:44,340
sharing some of that impact and

4265
02:37:45,825 --> 02:37:46,075
that's all driven by the

4266
02:37:47,560 --> 02:37:47,810
entrepreneurs themselves,

4267
02:37:48,561 --> 02:37:48,811
including the mentorship we

4268
02:37:50,296 --> 02:37:50,546
really value finding native

4269
02:37:53,566 --> 02:37:53,816
mentors as well so in some cases

4270
02:37:54,334 --> 02:37:54,584
that's here both in New Mexico

4271
02:37:55,969 --> 02:37:56,219
as well as nationally and

4272
02:37:56,536 --> 02:37:56,786
internationally

4273
02:37:59,806 --> 02:38:00,056
so on our next slide we're

4274
02:38:00,406 --> 02:38:00,656
talking about access to

4275
02:38:02,008 --> 02:38:02,258
knowledge so just want to give

4276
02:38:03,810 --> 02:38:04,060
you a quote you know from a

4277
02:38:05,612 --> 02:38:05,862
participant the training I

4278
02:38:06,212 --> 02:38:06,462
received gave me the confidence

4279
02:38:07,847 --> 02:38:08,097
and tools to grow my business

4280
02:38:10,083 --> 02:38:10,333
and support my community and I

4281
02:38:11,851 --> 02:38:12,101
would say that's almost one of

4282
02:38:13,787 --> 02:38:14,037
the most valuable parts of our

4283
02:38:14,587 --> 02:38:14,837
programming is to connect and

4284
02:38:16,089 --> 02:38:16,339
network with the peers of native

4285
02:38:18,358 --> 02:38:18,608
entrepreneurs right we have a

4286
02:38:20,059 --> 02:38:20,309
space in downtown Albuquerque.

4287
02:38:22,061 --> 02:38:22,311
We recently spent1.4 million

4288
02:38:24,364 --> 02:38:24,614
dollars of renovating the space

4289
02:38:26,299 --> 02:38:26,549
to have the best in class

4290
02:38:26,833 --> 02:38:27,083
audiovisual to be able to do

4291
02:38:30,103 --> 02:38:30,353
hybrid events to host community

4292
02:38:32,338 --> 02:38:32,588
events and we have one of our

4293
02:38:33,573 --> 02:38:33,823
participants here today

4294
02:38:35,542 --> 02:38:35,792
Aquilamartinez and this is

4295
02:38:37,577 --> 02:38:37,827
really around access to

4296
02:38:40,079 --> 02:38:40,329
technology we doubled down on

4297
02:38:41,815 --> 02:38:42,065
technology especially before the

4298
02:38:43,817 --> 02:38:44,067
pandemic so we already knew that

4299
02:38:45,585 --> 02:38:45,835
the rural nature of of our

4300
02:38:46,352 --> 02:38:46,602
community meant that we couldn't

4301
02:38:47,854 --> 02:38:48,104
be everywhere so we had to

4302
02:38:49,856 --> 02:38:50,106
really focus on doing virtual

4303
02:38:51,558 --> 02:38:51,808
programming making sure to give

4304
02:38:53,560 --> 02:38:53,810
people computers teaching them

4305
02:38:55,595 --> 02:38:55,845
how to do a a virtual

4306
02:38:56,362 --> 02:38:56,612
programming right to to log in.

4307
02:38:57,096 --> 02:38:57,346
So during the

4308
02:38:59,566 --> 02:38:59,816
pandemic we actually were able

4309
02:39:00,333 --> 02:39:00,583
to scale we never stopped

4310
02:39:02,035 --> 02:39:02,285
working because our work was

4311
02:39:03,837 --> 02:39:04,087
already based in that virtual

4312
02:39:05,772 --> 02:39:06,022
programming. Akila was one of

4313
02:39:07,640 --> 02:39:07,890
our participants and I feel like

4314
02:39:08,308 --> 02:39:08,558
Liz you know if you could

4315
02:39:09,809 --> 02:39:10,059
introduce her so that she could

4316
02:39:10,510 --> 02:39:10,760
share her new slides that she

4317
02:39:11,177 --> 02:39:11,427
also shared with you all

4318
02:39:16,316 --> 02:39:16,566
Absolutely so Akila is one of

4319
02:39:19,786 --> 02:39:20,036
those success stories that we'd

4320
02:39:23,556 --> 02:39:23,806
like to point out I very much

4321
02:39:26,025 --> 02:39:26,275
believe in system models and I

4322
02:39:29,562 --> 02:39:29,812
think the other interpretation

4323
02:39:31,531 --> 02:39:31,781
of a system which is a very

4324
02:39:33,566 --> 02:39:33,816
western term is relationship

4325
02:39:36,336 --> 02:39:36,586
based models so here akeyla

4326
02:39:39,806 --> 02:39:40,056
comes in she attends a class we

4327
02:39:42,008 --> 02:39:42,258
see that she is very skilled so

4328
02:39:42,709 --> 02:39:42,959
she comes in

4329
02:39:46,279 --> 02:39:46,529
she becomes a guest speaker we

4330
02:39:49,749 --> 02:39:49,999
decide to hire Akila to

4331
02:39:52,051 --> 02:39:52,301
create some little vignettes of

4332
02:39:55,555 --> 02:39:55,805
instruction around social

4333
02:39:56,122 --> 02:39:56,372
media which is really needed

4334
02:40:01,528 --> 02:40:01,778
so that goes on ikok and I think

4335
02:40:03,997 --> 02:40:04,247
that maybe our highest rated

4336
02:40:06,032 --> 02:40:06,282
ikok so if you go to our site

4337
02:40:09,536 --> 02:40:09,786
and go back you'll see and it is

4338
02:40:11,738 --> 02:40:11,988
all around language preservation

4339
02:40:15,742 --> 02:40:15,992
so she has made it identifiable

4340
02:40:17,744 --> 02:40:17,994
by younger people by older

4341
02:40:20,046 --> 02:40:20,296
people just by the subject she

4342
02:40:24,050 --> 02:40:24,300
uses she kicked off and led

4343
02:40:26,085 --> 02:40:26,335
and she's going to talk a little

4344
02:40:26,719 --> 02:40:26,969
about this but I think it's

4345
02:40:27,287 --> 02:40:27,537
important

4346
02:40:30,290 --> 02:40:30,540
to really just elevate what

4347
02:40:33,760 --> 02:40:34,010
she's done in community and the

4348
02:40:36,296 --> 02:40:36,546
most humble way we put on a

4349
02:40:39,532 --> 02:40:39,782
turtle island women in tech

4350
02:40:42,001 --> 02:40:42,251
conference so we brought women

4351
02:40:44,037 --> 02:40:44,287
from New Zealand from Canada

4352
02:40:48,241 --> 02:40:48,491
and my goodness and about six

4353
02:40:52,045 --> 02:40:52,295
weeks 8 weeks akila raised

4354
02:40:53,546 --> 02:40:53,796
enough money to put this

4355
02:40:54,247 --> 02:40:54,497
conference on and brought these

4356
02:40:57,650 --> 02:40:57,900
people here it was amazing. so

4357
02:40:59,552 --> 02:40:59,802
this is something that just took

4358
02:41:01,521 --> 02:41:01,771
place a year and a half ago it

4359
02:41:03,756 --> 02:41:04,006
was the first of its kind and

4360
02:41:05,792 --> 02:41:06,042
we're really pro proud that

4361
02:41:08,094 --> 02:41:08,344
she's a part of our extended

4362
02:41:11,598 --> 02:41:11,848
family at NMCc so I'm gonna pass

4363
02:41:13,666 --> 02:41:13,916
it toilla and she can just talk

4364
02:41:14,300 --> 02:41:14,550
about her work.

4365
02:41:17,804 --> 02:41:18,054
thank you Liz that means so

4366
02:41:19,739 --> 02:41:19,989
much. So just for some context

4367
02:41:21,775 --> 02:41:22,025
we'll start on this slide here

4368
02:41:23,576 --> 02:41:23,826
don't know if you guys could

4369
02:41:25,812 --> 02:41:26,062
see that so a quick agenda of

4370
02:41:28,047 --> 02:41:28,297
what I'll be talking about today

4371
02:41:30,250 --> 02:41:30,500
is a glittering ro girl intro to

4372
02:41:33,820 --> 02:41:34,070
my business and then how NMCc

4373
02:41:35,588 --> 02:41:35,838
helped the latest momentum and

4374
02:41:36,222 --> 02:41:36,472
why support matters in this work

4375
02:41:40,326 --> 02:41:40,576
so starting with the first slide

4376
02:41:43,763 --> 02:41:44,013
yay my name is Aquilo Martinez

4377
02:41:45,832 --> 02:41:46,082
Bajaleque winni ini dnasha I

4378
02:41:46,432 --> 02:41:46,682
come from the redsprings

4379
02:41:48,034 --> 02:41:48,284
community of the Navajo Nation

4380
02:41:50,270 --> 02:41:50,520
which is just about1f minutes

4381
02:41:52,238 --> 02:41:52,488
south of Gallup, New Mexico so I

4382
02:41:55,608 --> 02:41:55,858
went to school here elementary

4383
02:41:56,543 --> 02:41:56,793
school, middle school and high

4384
02:41:59,779 --> 02:42:00,029
school. and so yeah, I really

4385
02:42:02,282 --> 02:42:02,532
much know what it is to be like

4386
02:42:03,850 --> 02:42:04,100
growing up on a border by border

4387
02:42:04,551 --> 02:42:04,801
town.

4388
02:42:06,319 --> 02:42:06,569
I

4389
02:42:09,823 --> 02:42:10,073
got my lifelong goal at the age

4390
02:42:10,523 --> 02:42:10,773
of three to create

4391
02:42:12,325 --> 02:42:12,575
community-based media after

4392
02:42:14,027 --> 02:42:14,277
constantly witnessing my

4393
02:42:15,995 --> 02:42:16,245
grandparents have to watch TV

4394
02:42:16,696 --> 02:42:16,946
programming that was only

4395
02:42:18,264 --> 02:42:18,514
offered in English so that's why

4396
02:42:20,066 --> 02:42:20,316
I felt like it was important to

4397
02:42:22,235 --> 02:42:22,485
create media that revitalizes

4398
02:42:22,902 --> 02:42:23,152
language and culture

4399
02:42:26,005 --> 02:42:26,255
into my adolescence after I

4400
02:42:28,274 --> 02:42:28,524
graduated college I really saw

4401
02:42:30,477 --> 02:42:30,727
that there was a lack of

4402
02:42:32,245 --> 02:42:32,495
career opportunity around the

4403
02:42:34,013 --> 02:42:34,263
area for language and culture

4404
02:42:36,082 --> 02:42:36,332
preservation so which that led

4405
02:42:36,716 --> 02:42:36,966
me down the path of

4406
02:42:37,150 --> 02:42:37,400
entrepreneurship.

4407
02:42:40,320 --> 02:42:40,570
Today glittering wallir is an

4408
02:42:43,623 --> 02:42:43,873
indigenous women owned

4409
02:42:45,859 --> 02:42:46,109
multimedia house and I focus on

4410
02:42:47,627 --> 02:42:47,877
creating indigenousbased

4411
02:42:50,330 --> 02:42:50,580
circular economic ecosystems

4412
02:42:51,865 --> 02:42:52,115
community based media that

4413
02:42:53,633 --> 02:42:53,883
focuses on indigenous language

4414
02:42:55,835 --> 02:42:56,085
and culture of futurism. The

4415
02:42:58,104 --> 02:42:58,354
medium that I predominantly

4416
02:43:00,240 --> 02:43:00,490
focus on which is the next slide

4417
02:43:05,578 --> 02:43:05,828
this one right here is

4418
02:43:07,881 --> 02:43:08,131
augmented reality and so I

4419
02:43:09,849 --> 02:43:10,099
develop augmented reality for

4420
02:43:12,352 --> 02:43:12,602
mobile phones and for also

4421
02:43:13,753 --> 02:43:14,003
augmented reality glasses

4422
02:43:17,791 --> 02:43:18,041
multiple types of AR are

4423
02:43:19,826 --> 02:43:20,076
augmented reality which is the

4424
02:43:22,228 --> 02:43:22,478
slide here is the famous type of

4425
02:43:24,264 --> 02:43:24,514
Aar is for social media filters

4426
02:43:25,532 --> 02:43:25,782
and then also Pokemon Go.

4427
02:43:31,805 --> 02:43:32,055
and some really cool exciting

4428
02:43:33,540 --> 02:43:33,790
client feedback which is this

4429
02:43:36,075 --> 02:43:36,325
slide here. is that

4430
02:43:37,844 --> 02:43:38,094
glittering world girl was able

4431
02:43:40,313 --> 02:43:40,563
to deliver AR experiences at a

4432
02:43:42,348 --> 02:43:42,598
faster capacity and that are

4433
02:43:44,050 --> 02:43:44,300
much better designed than

4434
02:43:45,819 --> 02:43:46,069
companies on the east coast. So

4435
02:43:47,854 --> 02:43:48,104
that really means a lot to me

4436
02:43:49,589 --> 02:43:49,839
because it's taken a lot of

4437
02:43:51,825 --> 02:43:52,075
momentum to teach myself how to

4438
02:43:53,593 --> 02:43:53,843
build AR experiences which is an

4439
02:43:55,862 --> 02:43:56,112
emerging technology and the

4440
02:43:57,597 --> 02:43:57,847
focus of glittering Worldirl is

4441
02:43:58,298 --> 02:43:58,548
to really help New

4442
02:44:01,835 --> 02:44:02,085
Mexico and tribal nations become

4443
02:44:03,870 --> 02:44:04,120
technologically inclined and up

4444
02:44:04,571 --> 02:44:04,821
to date with emerging

4445
02:44:05,772 --> 02:44:06,022
technologies that are changing

4446
02:44:06,406 --> 02:44:06,656
the world.

4447
02:44:09,542 --> 02:44:09,792
Some awards there that you see

4448
02:44:11,845 --> 02:44:12,095
is that I've received

4449
02:44:15,548 --> 02:44:15,798
multiple awards from MIT

4450
02:44:17,884 --> 02:44:18,134
Stanford and recently a VC

4451
02:44:18,451 --> 02:44:18,701
fund

4452
02:44:22,455 --> 02:44:22,705
establishment in San Francisco

4453
02:44:24,057 --> 02:44:24,307
and I've also gotten the New

4454
02:44:26,059 --> 02:44:26,309
Mexico Women and Tech emerging

4455
02:44:26,726 --> 02:44:26,976
award of 2024.

4456
02:44:29,896 --> 02:44:30,146
and then you see there's some

4457
02:44:31,598 --> 02:44:31,848
media coverage that my work has

4458
02:44:35,802 --> 02:44:36,052
gotten and then also how New

4459
02:44:38,037 --> 02:44:38,287
Mexicounity capital has really

4460
02:44:40,507 --> 02:44:40,757
flourished and given me capacity

4461
02:44:44,043 --> 02:44:44,293
to build on my business is in

4462
02:44:47,614 --> 02:44:47,864
2021 I joined their business

4463
02:44:49,816 --> 02:44:50,066
marketingssentials class and

4464
02:44:51,818 --> 02:44:52,068
they they really provided an

4465
02:44:53,586 --> 02:44:53,836
environment and a space of

4466
02:44:55,588 --> 02:44:55,838
support of entrepreneurship

4467
02:44:56,322 --> 02:44:56,572
teaching me about marketing

4468
02:44:56,856 --> 02:44:57,106
financial

4469
02:45:00,360 --> 02:45:00,610
literacy, business and finance

4470
02:45:04,063 --> 02:45:04,313
structures and that really

4471
02:45:07,867 --> 02:45:08,117
led to me winning AIBE pitch

4472
02:45:10,670 --> 02:45:10,920
competition in 2022 for first

4473
02:45:11,337 --> 02:45:11,587
place for glittering Worldirl.

4474
02:45:17,811 --> 02:45:18,061
since then I have like Liz

4475
02:45:20,013 --> 02:45:20,263
mentioned there was a lot of

4476
02:45:23,616 --> 02:45:23,866
trust there that was built I was

4477
02:45:26,286 --> 02:45:26,536
hired to host some of their

4478
02:45:29,556 --> 02:45:29,806
video marketing workshops and

4479
02:45:31,724 --> 02:45:31,974
then also contracted to produce

4480
02:45:32,459 --> 02:45:32,709
some videos for their

4481
02:45:34,027 --> 02:45:34,277
programming and that really

4482
02:45:35,862 --> 02:45:36,112
meant a lot to me because it

4483
02:45:38,131 --> 02:45:38,381
felt like they believed in my

4484
02:45:38,765 --> 02:45:39,015
my offerings that a business had

4485
02:45:40,700 --> 02:45:40,950
my business had

4486
02:45:44,270 --> 02:45:44,520
I've also and a s recipient of

4487
02:45:46,039 --> 02:45:46,289
their kinship lending loan

4488
02:45:48,041 --> 02:45:48,291
programme, which not only helped

4489
02:45:49,776 --> 02:45:50,026
my business but it also helped

4490
02:45:52,245 --> 02:45:52,495
me establish and create a

4491
02:45:53,913 --> 02:45:54,163
positive credit for myself.

4492
02:45:58,284 --> 02:45:58,534
in 2025 my business received

4493
02:46:01,855 --> 02:46:02,105
a h00,000 dollars grant and I

4494
02:46:03,890 --> 02:46:04,140
was able to use New Mexicounity

4495
02:46:06,059 --> 02:46:06,309
capital as a fiscal sponsor and

4496
02:46:07,760 --> 02:46:08,010
through that process they were a

4497
02:46:08,428 --> 02:46:08,678
true partner in that process

4498
02:46:13,566 --> 02:46:13,816
by offering me administrative

4499
02:46:16,536 --> 02:46:16,786
and financial administrative

4500
02:46:19,839 --> 02:46:20,089
support which let me learn about

4501
02:46:21,574 --> 02:46:21,824
the ins and outs of budget to

4502
02:46:22,342 --> 02:46:22,592
actuals profit and loss

4503
02:46:24,077 --> 02:46:24,327
statements associated with the

4504
02:46:26,312 --> 02:46:26,562
grant and most importantly to

4505
02:46:27,814 --> 02:46:28,064
give me a sense of what it

4506
02:46:29,649 --> 02:46:29,899
really takes to offer

4507
02:46:30,250 --> 02:46:30,500
technologybased programming for

4508
02:46:30,917 --> 02:46:31,167
the community.

4509
02:46:33,820 --> 02:46:34,070
So on there you'll see pictures

4510
02:46:36,022 --> 02:46:36,272
of indigenous augmented reality

4511
02:46:38,258 --> 02:46:38,508
workshops I was able to host

4512
02:46:40,026 --> 02:46:40,276
those at New Mexico Community

4513
02:46:41,594 --> 02:46:41,844
Capital and through their fiscal

4514
02:46:44,063 --> 02:46:44,313
sponsorship I was able to do

4515
02:46:46,166 --> 02:46:46,416
workshops on the Navajo Nation

4516
02:46:46,833 --> 02:46:47,083
and at UCLA.

4517
02:46:52,105 --> 02:46:52,355
so and then the most latest

4518
02:46:56,042 --> 02:46:56,292
momentum is that we hosted the

4519
02:46:57,644 --> 02:46:57,894
turtle Islandomen in Tech event

4520
02:47:01,614 --> 02:47:01,864
just this past august and that

4521
02:47:03,883 --> 02:47:04,133
was an amazing moment in

4522
02:47:05,585 --> 02:47:05,835
itself we brought together

4523
02:47:06,319 --> 02:47:06,569
prominent indigenous women from

4524
02:47:08,588 --> 02:47:08,838
Canada, New Zealand, across the

4525
02:47:10,123 --> 02:47:10,373
states and of course New Mexico

4526
02:47:14,093 --> 02:47:14,343
to really dream and imagine

4527
02:47:16,162 --> 02:47:16,412
what technology can be like on

4528
02:47:16,763 --> 02:47:17,013
our terms for economic sovere

4529
02:47:19,799 --> 02:47:20,049
ign ty self determination,

4530
02:47:22,068 --> 02:47:22,318
language and culturely

4531
02:47:24,270 --> 02:47:24,520
appropriate content in

4532
02:47:25,738 --> 02:47:25,988
technology and

4533
02:47:30,076 --> 02:47:30,326
that in itself was a true

4534
02:47:31,778 --> 02:47:32,028
partnership as well with New

4535
02:47:33,580 --> 02:47:33,830
Mexico Community Capital you

4536
02:47:34,514 --> 02:47:34,764
could say they acted as a fiscal

4537
02:47:35,548 --> 02:47:35,798
sponsor for that

4538
02:47:38,351 --> 02:47:38,601
because all of the skills that I

4539
02:47:40,253 --> 02:47:40,503
have obtained up until this past

4540
02:47:43,523 --> 02:47:43,773
august as an entrepreneur I was

4541
02:47:45,792 --> 02:47:46,042
able to raise over47,000 dollars

4542
02:47:47,594 --> 02:47:47,844
for this event within a matter

4543
02:47:49,829 --> 02:47:50,079
of three months and that came

4544
02:47:50,430 --> 02:47:50,680
from pitching

4545
02:47:54,067 --> 02:47:54,317
glittering wogir New Mexico

4546
02:47:55,568 --> 02:47:55,818
community capital to each of

4547
02:47:56,569 --> 02:47:56,819
these sponsors to earn their

4548
02:47:57,604 --> 02:47:57,854
trust and their dollars to

4549
02:47:58,171 --> 02:47:58,421
sponsor this event

4550
02:48:00,073 --> 02:48:00,323
so

4551
02:48:02,275 --> 02:48:02,525
this is that that kind of space

4552
02:48:04,043 --> 02:48:04,293
that the turtle Islandomen in

4553
02:48:07,580 --> 02:48:07,830
tech event created is so

4554
02:48:09,816 --> 02:48:10,066
valuable because as I've been in

4555
02:48:11,785 --> 02:48:12,035
spaces like I mentioned at MIT

4556
02:48:14,320 --> 02:48:14,570
Stanford Snapchat meta and

4557
02:48:16,222 --> 02:48:16,472
some of the leading global

4558
02:48:18,291 --> 02:48:18,541
conferences I see no indigenous

4559
02:48:20,260 --> 02:48:20,510
representation in these spaces

4560
02:48:24,097 --> 02:48:24,347
and so creating an event like

4561
02:48:25,565 --> 02:48:25,815
the turtle Islandomen intech

4562
02:48:27,867 --> 02:48:28,117
event is something that was is

4563
02:48:28,535 --> 02:48:28,785
very much needed

4564
02:48:30,503 --> 02:48:30,753
and it was an event to be

4565
02:48:33,573 --> 02:48:33,823
attended by indigenous people

4566
02:48:34,340 --> 02:48:34,590
non indigenous people, everyone

4567
02:48:36,276 --> 02:48:36,526
so we can create an ecosystem

4568
02:48:38,077 --> 02:48:38,327
and learn how we can work

4569
02:48:41,614 --> 02:48:41,864
together and in innovative ways

4570
02:48:43,883 --> 02:48:44,133
aside from that on glittering

4571
02:48:44,517 --> 02:48:44,767
Worldirls

4572
02:48:48,254 --> 02:48:48,504
with glittering wo girl I've

4573
02:48:50,023 --> 02:48:50,273
been in talk with Bernna Leo

4574
02:48:52,091 --> 02:48:52,341
County and Gallupup Tourism here

4575
02:48:54,294 --> 02:48:54,544
to learn how to bring augmented

4576
02:48:56,062 --> 02:48:56,312
reality programming to schools

4577
02:48:59,566 --> 02:48:59,816
and then also to for the

4578
02:49:01,568 --> 02:49:01,818
gallup tourism efforts as well

4579
02:49:02,235 --> 02:49:02,485
to kind of bring an emerging

4580
02:49:05,572 --> 02:49:05,822
te technology to an

4581
02:49:06,272 --> 02:49:06,522
experience that the tourists get

4582
02:49:07,841 --> 02:49:08,091
to experience when they

4583
02:49:10,143 --> 02:49:10,393
visitallllup. but yeah so I

4584
02:49:12,245 --> 02:49:12,495
just I really want to thank New

4585
02:49:14,581 --> 02:49:14,831
Mexicounity Capi I think that

4586
02:49:15,215 --> 02:49:15,465
what it takes really is

4587
02:49:19,519 --> 02:49:19,769
resources I think through my

4588
02:49:21,554 --> 02:49:21,804
work I realized that it does

4589
02:49:24,257 --> 02:49:24,507
take a a a lot of dollars to be

4590
02:49:26,059 --> 02:49:26,309
able to to create impact to be

4591
02:49:29,796 --> 02:49:30,046
able to offer back to the

4592
02:49:30,363 --> 02:49:30,613
community so through my

4593
02:49:33,833 --> 02:49:34,083
workshops I I offer stipends to

4594
02:49:36,269 --> 02:49:36,519
participants to attend we

4595
02:49:38,304 --> 02:49:38,554
offer catering and then we also

4596
02:49:41,574 --> 02:49:41,824
hire local talent to perform

4597
02:49:44,577 --> 02:49:44,827
at these workshops so yeah I

4598
02:49:45,145 --> 02:49:45,395
think that my ask

4599
02:49:49,582 --> 02:49:49,832
today is for you guys to you

4600
02:49:51,785 --> 02:49:52,035

02:49:52,385 --> 02:49:52,635
capital because of all of the

4602
02:49:54,287 --> 02:49:54,537
great work that they do they

4603
02:49:56,055 --> 02:49:56,305
really are a leader in the

4604
02:49:58,258 --> 02:49:58,508
whole50 states for innovation

4605
02:50:01,561 --> 02:50:01,811
and indigenous entrepreneurship

4606
02:50:03,563 --> 02:50:03,813
they're creating a whole

4607
02:50:04,330 --> 02:50:04,580
ecosystem of that that is a

4608
02:50:04,898 --> 02:50:05,148
model to be studied

4609
02:50:09,569 --> 02:50:09,819
and so yes the ask is that

4610
02:50:11,538 --> 02:50:11,788
you know we need support as

4611
02:50:12,338 --> 02:50:12,588
entrepreneurs who are trying to

4612
02:50:14,307 --> 02:50:14,557
give back to community and

4613
02:50:16,042 --> 02:50:16,292
create and invent new things for

4614
02:50:18,044 --> 02:50:18,294
the community we need the

4615
02:50:20,413 --> 02:50:20,663
dollars to do that the

4616
02:50:22,048 --> 02:50:22,298
visibility and really the

4617
02:50:23,550 --> 02:50:23,800
community and trust in the

4618
02:50:25,819 --> 02:50:26,069
kinship amongst all of us to

4619
02:50:27,821 --> 02:50:28,071
create that thriving ecosystem.

4620
02:50:28,521 --> 02:50:28,771

we did receive a small grant

4624
02:50:42,435 --> 02:50:42,685
from the IED this past year

4625
02:50:43,002 --> 02:50:43,252
but we have yeah we have not

4626
02:50:45,672 --> 02:50:45,922
yes and that's also

4627
02:50:52,228 --> 02:50:52,478
we we could have a couple more

4628
02:50:54,080 --> 02:50:54,330
slides but it's up to you ok

4629
02:50:56,082 --> 02:50:56,332
yeah so yeah we'll focus

4630
02:50:57,584 --> 02:50:57,834
we'll just finish up some of the

4631
02:50:59,619 --> 02:50:59,869
slides so Kela was talking

4632
02:51:00,386 --> 02:51:00,636
about our turtle Island women at

4633
02:51:02,088 --> 02:51:02,338
tech event you know, I just want

4634
02:51:03,857 --> 02:51:04,107
to put it out there we had

4635
02:51:06,326 --> 02:51:06,576
over100 entrepreneurs there at

4636
02:51:08,128 --> 02:51:08,378
this event and we had

4637
02:51:10,096 --> 02:51:10,346
BobbyRossette from Canada who

4638
02:51:11,865 --> 02:51:12,115
just sold their business one of

4639
02:51:13,566 --> 02:51:13,816
the first native women business

4640
02:51:14,267 --> 02:51:14,517
owners who just sold their

4641
02:51:16,136 --> 02:51:16,386
business for over400 million

4642
02:51:17,837 --> 02:51:18,087
dollars, right? And so that's

4643
02:51:19,606 --> 02:51:19,856
the type of story that's the

4644
02:51:20,240 --> 02:51:20,490
type of hope that we're

4645
02:51:20,807 --> 02:51:21,057
providing right just

4646
02:51:23,610 --> 02:51:23,860
just examples of that since

4647
02:51:24,344 --> 02:51:24,594
opening up our resilience hub

4648
02:51:26,346 --> 02:51:26,596
we've had over19 different

4649
02:51:28,381 --> 02:51:28,631
pueblos use our space over47

4650
02:51:31,584 --> 02:51:31,834
other tribal nations, ix

4651
02:51:32,352 --> 02:51:32,602
international indigenous groups

4652
02:51:35,822 --> 02:51:36,072
over116 partner organizations we

4653
02:51:37,590 --> 02:51:37,840
host we hope to host you all one

4654
02:51:38,625 --> 02:51:38,875
day as well in the future we

4655
02:51:40,426 --> 02:51:40,676
do film nights art nights

4656
02:51:42,095 --> 02:51:42,345
wellness classes, powwow

4657
02:51:44,164 --> 02:51:44,414
practice drum and native games

4658
02:51:45,632 --> 02:51:45,882
and this is something that we

4659
02:51:47,600 --> 02:51:47,850
want to expand across New Mexico

4660
02:51:48,368 --> 02:51:48,618
right? how do we activate

4661
02:51:49,803 --> 02:51:50,053
downtown spaces we're operating

4662
02:51:52,372 --> 02:51:52,622
in a space called the Occidental

4663
02:51:54,073 --> 02:51:54,323
buildingilding and if you all

4664
02:51:56,075 --> 02:51:56,325
know that means the the western

4665
02:51:57,644 --> 02:51:57,894
building right so it it's really

4666
02:51:59,879 --> 02:52:00,129
symbolic that we have all of

4667
02:52:01,614 --> 02:52:01,864
these indigenous entrepreneurs

4668
02:52:03,616 --> 02:52:03,866
cultural bearers utilizing the

4669
02:52:04,384 --> 02:52:04,634
space one of the nicest

4670
02:52:06,152 --> 02:52:06,402
historical buildings in downtown

4671
02:52:07,854 --> 02:52:08,104
Albuquerque we're hoping to

4672
02:52:08,588 --> 02:52:08,838
purchase that building. we

4673
02:52:09,823 --> 02:52:10,073
know that you all can't help

4674
02:52:11,958 --> 02:52:12,208
with capital outlay but

4675
02:52:13,626 --> 02:52:13,876
that's something that we're also

4676
02:52:15,895 --> 02:52:16,145
fundraising for just a little

4677
02:52:16,529 --> 02:52:16,779
bit about our access to

4678
02:52:18,131 --> 02:52:18,381
community capital the fiscal

4679
02:52:19,899 --> 02:52:20,149
sponsorship grants the stipends,

4680
02:52:20,633 --> 02:52:20,883
the rooted

4681
02:52:23,937 --> 02:52:24,187
relative loan funds the co op

4682
02:52:24,704 --> 02:52:24,954
capital loans and did you

4683
02:52:25,839 --> 02:52:26,089
exchange sales? these are all

4684
02:52:26,473 --> 02:52:26,723
just numbers that we wanted to

4685
02:52:28,141 --> 02:52:28,391
share with you all. We want nex

4686
02:52:29,876 --> 02:52:30,126
this in the next10 years, right?

4687
02:52:30,510 --> 02:52:30,760
this is what something that

4688
02:52:32,078 --> 02:52:32,328
we're passionate about and we

4689
02:52:33,880 --> 02:52:34,130
have a system that I believe

4690
02:52:35,849 --> 02:52:36,099
works not only for indigenous

4691
02:52:37,617 --> 02:52:37,867
communities but rural

4692
02:52:38,384 --> 02:52:38,634
communities across New Mexico

4693
02:52:39,886 --> 02:52:40,136
and that's why we want to keep

4694
02:52:41,588 --> 02:52:41,838
our name New Mexicounity

4695
02:52:43,890 --> 02:52:44,140
Capital. So I'll have thisz

4696
02:52:45,625 --> 02:52:45,875
round us out to with our

4697
02:52:46,659 --> 02:52:46,909
presentations so we could have

4698
02:52:47,360 --> 02:52:47,610
start into questions.

4699
02:52:54,016 --> 02:52:54,266
so as Jake said for the past

4700
02:52:56,102 --> 02:52:56,352
year we've been looking at

4701
02:52:59,572 --> 02:52:59,822
buying our building we've also

4702
02:53:02,108 --> 02:53:02,358
been concerned about operating

4703
02:53:04,410 --> 02:53:04,660
expenses so we can continue this

4704
02:53:08,114 --> 02:53:08,364
work I think it is an

4705
02:53:10,316 --> 02:53:10,566
important piece of programming

4706
02:53:14,053 --> 02:53:14,303
to offer stipends to individuals

4707
02:53:16,623 --> 02:53:16,873
so that raises the cost of the

4708
02:53:19,626 --> 02:53:19,876
program a bit we also offer

4709
02:53:20,160 --> 02:53:20,410
follow

4710
02:53:24,063 --> 02:53:24,313
up mentorship and technical

4711
02:53:27,867 --> 02:53:28,117
assistance so at least3 to5

4712
02:53:30,336 --> 02:53:30,586
hours of mentorship for every

4713
02:53:33,573 --> 02:53:33,823
person is offered and that's not

4714
02:53:34,607 --> 02:53:34,857
just with us that could be with

4715
02:53:38,077 --> 02:53:38,327
others Akila has been a mentor

4716
02:53:38,745 --> 02:53:38,995
another role that

4717
02:53:42,515 --> 02:53:42,765
Akila has filled and we have

4718
02:53:45,618 --> 02:53:45,868
first Friday art walks madam

4719
02:53:47,821 --> 02:53:48,071
chair you look like you have a

4720
02:53:51,791 --> 02:53:52,041
question. OK sounds good so

4721
02:53:54,527 --> 02:53:54,777
we have we offer first Friday

4722
02:53:56,329 --> 02:53:56,579
art walks all the vendors that

4723
02:53:58,364 --> 02:53:58,614
have been in our programs are

4724
02:54:01,601 --> 02:54:01,851
invited to participate in that

4725
02:54:04,104 --> 02:54:04,354
so we don't charge we offer food

4726
02:54:06,306 --> 02:54:06,556
to all of the vendors that come

4727
02:54:08,041 --> 02:54:08,291
so again paying for security

4728
02:54:12,378 --> 02:54:12,628
you know not charging them a

4729
02:54:14,247 --> 02:54:14,497
space buying food and then the

4730
02:54:17,817 --> 02:54:18,067
staff is there that has to take

4731
02:54:20,420 --> 02:54:20,670
part in it and we've done worked

4732
02:54:24,057 --> 02:54:24,307
with the rail yards we've done40

4733
02:54:27,627 --> 02:54:27,877
we've hosted40 different

4734
02:54:29,629 --> 02:54:29,879
individuals we paid for the

4735
02:54:31,898 --> 02:54:32,148
space and given them it to them

4736
02:54:34,134 --> 02:54:34,384
we just wrapped up a five year

4737
02:54:34,767 --> 02:54:35,017
award

4738
02:54:38,004 --> 02:54:38,254
through the future is indigenous

4739
02:54:40,406 --> 02:54:40,656
women so that was a five year

4740
02:54:43,710 --> 02:54:43,960
program that we ran we were the

4741
02:54:45,845 --> 02:54:46,095
recipient of a10 million dollars

4742
02:54:50,083 --> 02:54:50,333
award from Melinda Gates and

4743
02:54:53,586 --> 02:54:53,836
mackenzieco and the Schusterman

4744
02:54:55,655 --> 02:54:55,905
Foundation to make women native

4745
02:54:57,891 --> 02:54:58,141
women more vestable so we did

4746
02:55:00,093 --> 02:55:00,343
that through summits and

4747
02:55:02,328 --> 02:55:02,578
programs and the repatriating

4748
02:55:04,097 --> 02:55:04,347
economies apprenticeship gave

4749
02:55:08,301 --> 02:55:08,551
them a lot of air time and

4750
02:55:12,105 --> 02:55:12,355
interviews and did community

4751
02:55:14,307 --> 02:55:14,557
table building sessions online

4752
02:55:18,011 --> 02:55:18,261
we had5 years of that so we just

4753
02:55:21,581 --> 02:55:21,831
wrapped up we'll have a public

4754
02:55:22,248 --> 02:55:22,498
report out soon

4755
02:55:28,288 --> 02:55:28,538
with that10 million4.6 million

4756
02:55:31,825 --> 02:55:32,075
was given back to community so

4757
02:55:33,827 --> 02:55:34,077
that went through stipends that

4758
02:55:37,597 --> 02:55:37,847
was loans that was technical

4759
02:55:39,833 --> 02:55:40,083
assistance so truly almost half

4760
02:55:41,835 --> 02:55:42,085
of it went back out to everyone

4761
02:55:43,603 --> 02:55:43,853
that participated in the program

4762
02:55:47,640 --> 02:55:47,890
and we'll we'll end this

4763
02:55:48,341 --> 02:55:48,591
presentation with just one other

4764
02:55:50,276 --> 02:55:50,526
example success story

4765
02:55:52,345 --> 02:55:52,595
benendndo the last name might

4766
02:55:55,582 --> 02:55:55,832
sound familiar but again also

4767
02:55:56,349 --> 02:55:56,599
program graduate became a

4768
02:55:59,586 --> 02:55:59,836
fiscally sponsored project

4769
02:56:00,353 --> 02:56:00,603
helped him with branding and

4770
02:56:02,355 --> 02:56:02,605
marketing support and helped him

4771
02:56:05,592 --> 02:56:05,842
buy a property inhama Springs

4772
02:56:07,627 --> 02:56:07,877
and he is fromhama pueblo and

4773
02:56:08,361 --> 02:56:08,611
that was very symbolic to be

4774
02:56:11,598 --> 02:56:11,848
able to have a physical location

4775
02:56:13,600 --> 02:56:13,850
within Hama Springs to offer

4776
02:56:14,300 --> 02:56:14,550
culturally rele relevant

4777
02:56:14,868 --> 02:56:15,118
training capoe

4778
02:56:18,071 --> 02:56:18,321
a training dance classes you

4779
02:56:20,306 --> 02:56:20,556
know to his community it's now a

4780
02:56:21,841 --> 02:56:22,091
community retreat and gathering

4781
02:56:23,843 --> 02:56:24,093
space and just another

4782
02:56:25,578 --> 02:56:25,828
example you know of how they

4783
02:56:27,614 --> 02:56:27,864
went through our system and I

4784
02:56:28,214 --> 02:56:28,464
just want to emphasize this

4785
02:56:29,582 --> 02:56:29,832
because you all probably hear a

4786
02:56:31,651 --> 02:56:31,901
lot of really I don't wanna say

4787
02:56:33,653 --> 02:56:33,903
like sad stories right on this

4788
02:56:34,320 --> 02:56:34,570
committee you know just hearing

4789
02:56:36,189 --> 02:56:36,439
about water addiction. we want

4790
02:56:37,824 --> 02:56:38,074
to bring this this light because

4791
02:56:39,592 --> 02:56:39,842
I think this is the success that

4792
02:56:41,594 --> 02:56:41,844
we want to see more of, right?

4793
02:56:43,596 --> 02:56:43,846
people from the community

4794
02:56:44,297 --> 02:56:44,547
supporting one another and

4795
02:56:44,864 --> 02:56:45,114
really you know taking the

4796
02:56:49,569 --> 02:56:49,819
emphasis to increase their

4797
02:56:50,303 --> 02:56:50,553
generational wealth so I

4798
02:56:51,905 --> 02:56:52,155
think we'll you know pause that

4799
02:56:53,606 --> 02:56:53,856
you get to see a little bit of

4800
02:56:55,608 --> 02:56:55,858
our operating budget as well and

4801
02:56:56,376 --> 02:56:56,626
some future projects but I'll

4802
02:56:58,278 --> 02:56:58,528
have Liz and this end this

4803
02:56:58,878 --> 02:56:59,128
presentation thank you

4804
02:57:06,085 --> 02:57:06,335
so we have have run a budget

4805
02:57:08,321 --> 02:57:08,571
for the past5 years of anywhere

4806
02:57:13,793 --> 02:57:14,043
from3.75 to4.2 million dollars

4807
02:57:14,527 --> 02:57:14,777
and and a lot of that

4808
02:57:19,799 --> 02:57:20,049
that's high for us and that was

4809
02:57:22,068 --> 02:57:22,318
due to the award we managed the

4810
02:57:25,572 --> 02:57:25,822
the funding for this we also

4811
02:57:28,074 --> 02:57:28,324
were able to invest very safely

4812
02:57:31,845 --> 02:57:32,095
in CDs and were backed FDIC

4813
02:57:34,347 --> 02:57:34,597
insured so we're able even to

4814
02:57:37,851 --> 02:57:38,101
make a little bit more but

4815
02:57:42,155 --> 02:57:42,405
just to share that we have 88%

4816
02:57:44,591 --> 02:57:44,841
of the money that funds us comes

4817
02:57:45,258 --> 02:57:45,508
from grants

4818
02:57:49,529 --> 02:57:49,779
and contributions business

4819
02:57:53,833 --> 02:57:54,083
services is 9% for2026 interest

4820
02:57:54,534 --> 02:57:54,784
income is3%.

4821
02:58:00,106 --> 02:58:00,356
we that actually seems high

4822
02:58:02,342 --> 02:58:02,592
but it's lower than what it has

4823
02:58:06,312 --> 02:58:06,562
been has been closer to 95% and

4824
02:58:09,849 --> 02:58:10,099
it's hard to rely on grants and

4825
02:58:12,585 --> 02:58:12,835
private funding for this work

4826
02:58:16,122 --> 02:58:16,372
year after year so we have not

4827
02:58:19,826 --> 02:58:20,076
presented before and there's

4828
02:58:22,095 --> 02:58:22,345
a couple of reasons for us being

4829
02:58:22,829 --> 02:58:23,079
here one is

4830
02:58:27,600 --> 02:58:27,850
we do need to diversify the way

4831
02:58:30,036 --> 02:58:30,286
that we bring funding in and

4832
02:58:31,805 --> 02:58:32,055
we are in a building

4833
02:58:35,809 --> 02:58:36,059
I've been here for 8 years when

4834
02:58:40,113 --> 02:58:40,363
I was here came in 2018 we were

4835
02:58:42,081 --> 02:58:42,331
in a corporate office building

4836
02:58:44,284 --> 02:58:44,534
at the corner of central andhird

4837
02:58:49,589 --> 02:58:49,839
it felt like that was not quite

4838
02:58:51,591 --> 02:58:51,841
our environment but that's where

4839
02:58:53,827 --> 02:58:54,077
we were and where we landed in

4840
02:58:57,597 --> 02:58:57,847
December of 2020 we moved to

4841
02:59:00,300 --> 02:59:00,550
theoccidental building slowly

4842
02:59:03,670 --> 02:59:03,920
took over4,000 square feet of

4843
02:59:06,339 --> 02:59:06,589
space we took over another4,000

4844
02:59:10,076 --> 02:59:10,326
square feet with the building

4845
02:59:12,045 --> 02:59:12,295
and opening of the razillience

4846
02:59:14,314 --> 02:59:14,564
sub two years ago October1st

4847
02:59:14,981 --> 02:59:15,231
will be our

4848
02:59:18,351 --> 02:59:18,601
anniversary and we raised as

4849
02:59:21,855 --> 02:59:22,105
Jake said1.4 million dollars to

4850
02:59:24,057 --> 02:59:24,307
finish that we have plans to

4851
02:59:27,794 --> 02:59:28,044
expand and continue to grow in

4852
02:59:30,263 --> 02:59:30,513
community and we need support

4853
02:59:33,900 --> 02:59:34,150
with raising more money for

4854
02:59:37,570 --> 02:59:37,820
the down payment we want to pair

4855
02:59:39,806 --> 02:59:40,056
with another nonprofit who's

4856
02:59:42,308 --> 02:59:42,558
currently on the 2nd floor and

4857
02:59:42,942 --> 02:59:43,192
do a joint venture

4858
02:59:47,847 --> 02:59:48,097
and own the building and this is

4859
02:59:52,318 --> 02:59:52,568
for the long term vision of NMCc

4860
02:59:54,487 --> 02:59:54,737
we also are looking for funding

4861
02:59:57,824 --> 02:59:58,074
to support our programming so we

4862
03:00:00,260 --> 03:00:00,510
can continue to build on this

4863
03:00:03,763 --> 03:00:04,013
legacy of education and support

4864
03:00:07,567 --> 03:00:07,817
in a way I feel is so unique in

4865
03:00:10,336 --> 03:00:10,586
this area in this atmosphere I I

4866
03:00:12,338 --> 03:00:12,588
truly want to see a continued

4867
03:00:12,939 --> 03:00:13,189
Jake as our program director

4868
03:00:18,044 --> 03:00:18,294
brings his whole life experience

4869
03:00:20,346 --> 03:00:20,596
and it's really magical to see

4870
03:00:23,583 --> 03:00:23,833
him lead classes and I've

4871
03:00:24,117 --> 03:00:24,367
learned lots so

4872
03:00:27,587 --> 03:00:27,837
we also want to move into

4873
03:00:29,589 --> 03:00:29,839
tech more so and do it in the

4874
03:00:32,058 --> 03:00:32,308
best way possible not relying on

4875
03:00:34,327 --> 03:00:34,577
data centers where not for data

4876
03:00:38,131 --> 03:00:38,381
centers but we see data servers

4877
03:00:40,066 --> 03:00:40,316
perhaps on the second floor to

4878
03:00:44,304 --> 03:00:44,554
make local models right and

4879
03:00:46,106 --> 03:00:46,356
yeah and Jake has done a lot of

4880
03:00:48,108 --> 03:00:48,358
work there he had previously

4881
03:00:50,110 --> 03:00:50,360
worked in the grow with

4882
03:00:53,646 --> 03:00:53,896
Google environment and for

4883
03:00:54,247 --> 03:00:54,497
several years so

4884
03:00:57,851 --> 03:00:58,101
they supported us and actually

4885
03:00:59,853 --> 03:01:00,103
just granted us a little bit of

4886
03:01:02,088 --> 03:01:02,338
money so we can continue that

4887
03:01:05,825 --> 03:01:06,075
work with them and also of

4888
03:01:08,561 --> 03:01:08,811
course agg right growing food

4889
03:01:10,363 --> 03:01:10,613
we have in the resilience hub we

4890
03:01:12,332 --> 03:01:12,582
have a gathering space that

4891
03:01:18,371 --> 03:01:18,621
seats175 people we have a a seed

4892
03:01:20,573 --> 03:01:20,823
vault it was previously a bank

4893
03:01:23,843 --> 03:01:24,093
we've converted that into exceed

4894
03:01:24,477 --> 03:01:24,727
exchange

4895
03:01:26,579 --> 03:01:26,829
vaults so its temperature

4896
03:01:29,582 --> 03:01:29,832
controlled mud all the way on

4897
03:01:31,551 --> 03:01:31,801
the inside and we're having

4898
03:01:33,853 --> 03:01:34,103
furniture we just fundraised

4899
03:01:36,055 --> 03:01:36,305
for this having some custom

4900
03:01:38,291 --> 03:01:38,541
pieces made so it is can be

4901
03:01:41,594 --> 03:01:41,844
usable by community Wales of

4902
03:01:43,596 --> 03:01:43,846
wellness space in the resilience

4903
03:01:45,565 --> 03:01:45,815
hub so that could be

4904
03:01:48,101 --> 03:01:48,351
traditional healing or western

4905
03:01:48,802 --> 03:01:49,052
healing so

4906
03:01:51,905 --> 03:01:52,155
that is our little community and

4907
03:01:56,075 --> 03:01:56,325
we want to continue this work so

4908
03:02:02,048 --> 03:02:02,298
I am just on the I don't

4909
03:02:04,117 --> 03:02:04,367
know what this is the time sorry

4910
03:02:05,852 --> 03:02:06,102
since it's my first

4911
03:02:07,854 --> 03:02:08,104
presentation but we're trying to

4912
03:02:09,856 --> 03:02:10,106
raise a million dollars to help

4913
03:02:12,358 --> 03:02:12,608
with programming and developing

4914
03:02:15,829 --> 03:02:16,079
the next vision and version of

4915
03:02:17,864 --> 03:02:18,114
our entrepreneurial program

4916
03:02:19,833 --> 03:02:20,083
which are called razilian

4917
03:02:22,135 --> 03:02:22,385
circles it's already been tried

4918
03:02:25,605 --> 03:02:25,855
out in Alaska so it is a whole

4919
03:02:26,306 --> 03:02:26,556
wholelistic application

4920
03:02:31,811 --> 03:02:32,061
of entrepreneurial coursework

4921
03:02:34,114 --> 03:02:34,364
while also recognizing that

4922
03:02:35,849 --> 03:02:36,099
there are real needs that our

4923
03:02:37,917 --> 03:02:38,167
entrepreneurs have that are not

4924
03:02:40,320 --> 03:02:40,570
met with that western model so

4925
03:02:40,987 --> 03:02:41,237
that

4926
03:02:44,090 --> 03:02:44,340
the building and just to

4927
03:02:45,825 --> 03:02:46,075
continue the work we do and take

4928
03:02:48,294 --> 03:02:48,544
a chance on people like Akila

4929
03:02:50,296 --> 03:02:50,546
right I mean she was gonna make

4930
03:02:52,398 --> 03:02:52,648
it wherever she was where

4931
03:02:54,367 --> 03:02:54,617
fortunate that she partnered and

4932
03:02:57,871 --> 03:02:58,121
paired with us for this kind

4933
03:03:00,140 --> 03:03:00,390
of work but she's also gonna be

4934
03:03:04,344 --> 03:03:04,594
just fine so that is our

4935
03:03:07,580 --> 03:03:07,830
presentation and just want to

4936
03:03:08,581 --> 03:03:08,831
thank you all for your attention

4937
03:03:10,350 --> 03:03:10,600
so we had to present during

4938
03:03:13,186 --> 03:03:13,436
lunch but yeah thank you

4939
03:03:16,122 --> 03:03:16,372
thank you I remember when

4940
03:03:17,624 --> 03:03:17,874
Sheilla and Melissa were first I

4941
03:03:18,291 --> 03:03:18,541
think out

4942
03:03:21,661 --> 03:03:21,911
I'd like to say it seemed like

4943
03:03:22,328 --> 03:03:22,578
it was just

4944
03:03:29,602 --> 03:03:29,852
before yeah way before I don't

4945
03:03:30,370 --> 03:03:30,620
remember them mentioning bonero

4946
03:03:32,372 --> 03:03:32,622
in in anybody's mind or even

4947
03:03:34,040 --> 03:03:34,290
that thought of it but thank

4948
03:03:34,607 --> 03:03:34,857
youpresentative Lindstrom

4949
03:03:37,544 --> 03:03:37,794
madam chairir I just have some

4950
03:03:39,546 --> 03:03:39,796
quick questions. I'm looking

4951
03:03:41,581 --> 03:03:41,831
at your handout which says core

4952
03:03:43,583 --> 03:03:43,833
annual programming and when you

4953
03:03:44,284 --> 03:03:44,534
talk about access to community

4954
03:03:44,984 --> 03:03:45,234
capital

4955
03:03:48,421 --> 03:03:48,671
the first page of this handout

4956
03:03:50,089 --> 03:03:50,339
talks about you being a venture

4957
03:03:52,325 --> 03:03:52,575
capitalist but then it talks

4958
03:03:54,127 --> 03:03:54,377
about giving micro grants

4959
03:03:56,362 --> 03:03:56,612
nonpredatory loans so what

4960
03:03:58,364 --> 03:03:58,614
are you? I mean you've got

4961
03:04:00,333 --> 03:04:00,583
everything under the sun in

4962
03:04:02,368 --> 03:04:02,618
here. what specifically do you

4963
03:04:04,337 --> 03:04:04,587
do iss it venture capital work?

4964
03:04:05,772 --> 03:04:06,022
is it grants what is it

4965
03:04:08,575 --> 03:04:08,825
Yeah I'll I'll get to share that

4966
03:04:10,110 --> 03:04:10,360
it's an evolution, right? So we

4967
03:04:11,578 --> 03:04:11,828
started as a venture capital

4968
03:04:13,613 --> 03:04:13,863
fund we saw that venture capital

4969
03:04:14,414 --> 03:04:14,664
wasn't fitting our entrepreneur

4970
03:04:16,349 --> 03:04:16,599
sector right so we went into

4971
03:04:18,351 --> 03:04:18,601
CDFI right and doing loans went

4972
03:04:20,386 --> 03:04:20,636
through the program at the time

4973
03:04:21,855 --> 03:04:22,105
around10 years ago we didn't

4974
03:04:23,590 --> 03:04:23,840
have many people interested in

4975
03:04:24,357 --> 03:04:24,607
those loans even though they

4976
03:04:26,092 --> 03:04:26,342
were low interest still that

4977
03:04:28,094 --> 03:04:28,344
that apprehension to take out

4978
03:04:30,063 --> 03:04:30,313
loan right debtbased financing.

4979
03:04:31,798 --> 03:04:32,048
So we went specifically in

4980
03:04:33,633 --> 03:04:33,883
grants and grant support of

4981
03:04:34,400 --> 03:04:34,650
course everyone loves grants

4982
03:04:35,802 --> 03:04:36,052
right nonrecoverable grants

4983
03:04:39,606 --> 03:04:39,856
right now we're looking at being

4984
03:04:41,574 --> 03:04:41,824
an intermediary as we know the

4985
03:04:42,242 --> 03:04:42,492
state investment council the

4986
03:04:43,910 --> 03:04:44,160
strategy that's behind that we

4987
03:04:44,611 --> 03:04:44,861
feel like we're a really strong

4988
03:04:46,079 --> 03:04:46,329
intermediary and we feel like

4989
03:04:47,580 --> 03:04:47,830
we're really strong fiscal

4990
03:04:50,049 --> 03:04:50,299
sponsor that does programming so

4991
03:04:51,851 --> 03:04:52,101
I'll let Liz kind of share that

4992
03:04:53,853 --> 03:04:54,103
we actually also with our

4993
03:04:55,588 --> 03:04:55,838
with our rooted relative fund

4994
03:04:56,222 --> 03:04:56,472
you could also share about that

4995
03:04:56,890 --> 03:04:57,140
structure.

4996
03:05:00,326 --> 03:05:00,576
so I I feel like we're doing a

4997
03:05:03,797 --> 03:05:04,047
redo for everything so we're not

4998
03:05:06,099 --> 03:05:06,349
in venture capital anymore I

4999
03:05:08,268 --> 03:05:08,518
think you know I can argue that

5000
03:05:12,038 --> 03:05:12,288
we're taking risks on people but

5001
03:05:14,073 --> 03:05:14,323
really we're not looking at it

5002
03:05:18,044 --> 03:05:18,294
that way we are one of three

5003
03:05:21,548 --> 03:05:21,798
pilot nonprofits to in arizona

5004
03:05:26,085 --> 03:05:26,335
and one here via RCAc to run

5005
03:05:26,753 --> 03:05:27,003
the rooted relative fund so

5006
03:05:31,558 --> 03:05:31,808
this is one of the community

5007
03:05:36,262 --> 03:05:36,512
capital pieces we offer3% at

5008
03:05:42,335 --> 03:05:42,585
a loans up to $250,000 so we

5009
03:05:44,304 --> 03:05:44,554
have this for three years we're

5010
03:05:47,640 --> 03:05:47,890
just starting our3rd year of it

5011
03:05:51,578 --> 03:05:51,828
we're supporting CJ

5012
03:05:54,380 --> 03:05:54,630
Bernal in Taos pueblo and Don

5013
03:05:56,549 --> 03:05:56,799
butterfly cafe so we came in

5014
03:05:57,117 --> 03:05:57,367
with the

5015
03:06:00,053 --> 03:06:00,303
you know the capital stack he

5016
03:06:03,857 --> 03:06:04,107
needed to convert a restaurant

5017
03:06:06,025 --> 03:06:06,275
outside Taos pueblo we helped

5018
03:06:10,296 --> 03:06:10,546
other make other folks like him

5019
03:06:13,600 --> 03:06:13,850
nicole Arthun who came from

5020
03:06:15,835 --> 03:06:16,085
changing women initiative and is

5021
03:06:18,071 --> 03:06:18,321
starting you to be brief. OK

5022
03:06:21,975 --> 03:06:22,225
OK so it's a3% loan that's what

5023
03:06:22,609 --> 03:06:22,859
you offer

5024
03:06:27,814 --> 03:06:28,064
and is that a flat rate or is

5025
03:06:29,783 --> 03:06:30,033
that does that change with

5026
03:06:34,254 --> 03:06:34,504
interest it is a flat rate3% so

5027
03:06:37,590 --> 03:06:37,840
in case you were before another

5028
03:06:38,324 --> 03:06:38,574
committee through the chair and

5029
03:06:41,795 --> 03:06:42,045
then to the to the rep apologize

5030
03:06:44,264 --> 03:06:44,514
yeah madam chairirpresentative

5031
03:06:47,534 --> 03:06:47,784
Luundstrom apologies

5032
03:06:51,838 --> 03:06:52,088
so instead of the native CDy

5033
03:06:52,472 --> 03:06:52,722
that we're part of we knew that

5034
03:06:53,139 --> 03:06:53,389
we had

5035
03:06:56,075 --> 03:06:56,325
to do something differently so

5036
03:06:58,311 --> 03:06:58,561
we went with two different loans

5037
03:07:01,581 --> 03:07:01,831
that are relationshipbased loans

5038
03:07:04,017 --> 03:07:04,267
one is co op Capital which is on

5039
03:07:07,587 --> 03:07:07,837
air which is a5% fixed rate loan

5040
03:07:11,591 --> 03:07:11,841
up to50,000 dollars the other is

5041
03:07:14,327 --> 03:07:14,577
rooted relative fund which is up

5042
03:07:19,899 --> 03:07:20,149
to 250,000 that's a3% so we have

5043
03:07:22,368 --> 03:07:22,618
the capacity of lending3 million

5044
03:07:23,069 --> 03:07:23,319
dollars

5045
03:07:29,776 --> 03:07:30,026
we've lent so far one.05 million

5046
03:07:32,245 --> 03:07:32,495
over the past two years were now

5047
03:07:35,548 --> 03:07:35,798
building a program around it

5048
03:07:36,449 --> 03:07:36,699
because we see the need so

5049
03:07:37,617 --> 03:07:37,867
relationship based lending

5050
03:07:41,821 --> 03:07:42,071
so that's what we turned it into

5051
03:07:45,625 --> 03:07:45,875
versus just regular bank

5052
03:07:46,192 --> 03:07:46,442
loans or lending

5053
03:07:49,762 --> 03:07:50,012
Yeah I

5054
03:07:52,298 --> 03:07:52,548
madam chairir and presenters, I

5055
03:07:53,900 --> 03:07:54,150
appreciate you bringing this up

5056
03:07:54,534 --> 03:07:54,784
but

5057
03:07:58,371 --> 03:07:58,621
I live in this world so it's not

5058
03:08:01,908 --> 03:08:02,158
that I'm trying to to poke

5059
03:08:03,576 --> 03:08:03,826
holes through this. I just want

5060
03:08:04,344 --> 03:08:04,594
to understand it. I wonders

5061
03:08:05,812 --> 03:08:06,062
understand what you're actually

5062
03:08:06,513 --> 03:08:06,763
doing here because

5063
03:08:08,381 --> 03:08:08,631
when you talk I would take that

5064
03:08:10,049 --> 03:08:10,299
whole venture capital thing out

5065
03:08:11,785 --> 03:08:12,035
of here because the first thing

5066
03:08:12,418 --> 03:08:12,668
I thought when I looked at that

5067
03:08:14,087 --> 03:08:14,337
is how much do you guys get of

5068
03:08:16,122 --> 03:08:16,372
the company? How much do you own

5069
03:08:16,856 --> 03:08:17,106
of the companies that you helped

5070
03:08:17,524 --> 03:08:17,774
them

5071
03:08:19,592 --> 03:08:19,842
but I'm glad you're not doing

5072
03:08:20,260 --> 03:08:20,510
that and I'm glad you're not

5073
03:08:24,097 --> 03:08:24,347
because I can't imagine any

5074
03:08:26,199 --> 03:08:26,449
small entrepreneur coming to you

5075
03:08:26,833 --> 03:08:27,083
and asking for those kind of

5076
03:08:27,433 --> 03:08:27,683
loans either

5077
03:08:31,604 --> 03:08:31,854
so just trying to trying to

5078
03:08:32,338 --> 03:08:32,588
get my arms around what you're

5079
03:08:34,340 --> 03:08:34,590
trying to do now as a nonprofit

5080
03:08:38,044 --> 03:08:38,294
it's hard for us the state as a

5081
03:08:38,745 --> 03:08:38,995
state

5082
03:08:39,679 --> 03:08:39,929
to provide

5083
03:08:43,817 --> 03:08:44,067
capital outlay or even general

5084
03:08:45,585 --> 03:08:45,835
appropriation funds to

5085
03:08:48,087 --> 03:08:48,337
nonprofits you have to have a

5086
03:08:50,089 --> 03:08:50,339
fiscal agent that can accept

5087
03:08:51,724 --> 03:08:51,974
those funds do you have somebody

5088
03:08:52,392 --> 03:08:52,642
like that or did you know

5089
03:09:00,333 --> 03:09:00,583
yes madam chair andres

5090
03:09:04,304 --> 03:09:04,554
Lindstrom where I did not

5091
03:09:07,507 --> 03:09:07,757
know that I needed a physical to

5092
03:09:08,174 --> 03:09:08,424
accept those funds

5093
03:09:12,112 --> 03:09:12,362
we can talk offline about that

5094
03:09:14,114 --> 03:09:14,364
or anyone can help you with

5095
03:09:16,116 --> 03:09:16,366
it but I I was just curious how

5096
03:09:17,984 --> 03:09:18,234
that was going to work we we are

5097
03:09:18,618 --> 03:09:18,868
not allowed

5098
03:09:22,155 --> 03:09:22,405
to give funding directly to

5099
03:09:24,224 --> 03:09:24,474
nonprofits especially for

5100
03:09:24,791 --> 03:09:25,041
capital purposes

5101
03:09:28,261 --> 03:09:28,511
but this programming looks very

5102
03:09:29,796 --> 03:09:30,046
intriguing and I'm surprised

5103
03:09:31,631 --> 03:09:31,881
that it wouldn't fit under some

5104
03:09:32,265 --> 03:09:32,515
of our existing programs

5105
03:09:36,035 --> 03:09:36,285
just just bring that to your

5106
03:09:38,037 --> 03:09:38,287
attention thank you madam chair

5107
03:09:40,273 --> 03:09:40,523
thank you thank youpresentative.

5108
03:09:41,608 --> 03:09:41,858
Any other questions from

5109
03:09:42,208 --> 03:09:42,458
committee members?

5110
03:09:42,642 --> 03:09:42,892
Representative roybarabballero.

5111
03:09:46,079 --> 03:09:46,329
thank you madam chair and thank

5112
03:09:48,081 --> 03:09:48,331
you very much I I do understand

5113
03:09:49,649 --> 03:09:49,899
fully what you're doing. I've

5114
03:09:50,350 --> 03:09:50,600
done this

5115
03:09:50,650 --> 03:09:50,900
probably when it

5116
03:09:54,354 --> 03:09:54,604
we were trailblazing this whole

5117
03:09:55,989 --> 03:09:56,239
concept of community economic

5118
03:09:56,656 --> 03:09:56,906
development

5119
03:09:59,826 --> 03:10:00,076
that approach was done in the

5120
03:10:03,596 --> 03:10:03,846
early1980s actually it was

5121
03:10:05,832 --> 03:10:06,082
an experimental federal

5122
03:10:09,803 --> 03:10:10,053
program that began under the

5123
03:10:10,570 --> 03:10:10,820
Reagan administration's

5124
03:10:11,037 --> 03:10:11,287
self-help concepts

5125
03:10:14,073 --> 03:10:14,323
right that was a long time ago.

5126
03:10:16,609 --> 03:10:16,859
So we set up an entity similar

5127
03:10:19,879 --> 03:10:20,129
to yours in southern end of

5128
03:10:20,447 --> 03:10:20,697
southern New Mexico and

5129
03:10:22,215 --> 03:10:22,465
El Paso region

5130
03:10:25,885 --> 03:10:26,135
excuse me and again as I said it

5131
03:10:26,519 --> 03:10:26,769
was ahead of its time

5132
03:10:29,823 --> 03:10:30,073
it was also sponsored through

5133
03:10:30,423 --> 03:10:30,673
the Development training

5134
03:10:32,292 --> 03:10:32,542
institute out of Baltimore at

5135
03:10:34,060 --> 03:10:34,310
Maryland which is where I got my

5136
03:10:36,029 --> 03:10:36,279
certification madam chairir. So

5137
03:10:40,333 --> 03:10:40,583
I I'm I'm fully aware of what

5138
03:10:42,101 --> 03:10:42,351
you're attempting to do and what

5139
03:10:44,304 --> 03:10:44,554
you're doing actually so I have

5140
03:10:45,905 --> 03:10:46,155
a couple of questions and that

5141
03:10:46,539 --> 03:10:46,789
is

5142
03:10:50,110 --> 03:10:50,360
we do have and I think you

5143
03:10:52,078 --> 03:10:52,328

5144
03:10:58,051 --> 03:10:58,301
state in investment co, can you

5145
03:11:00,053 --> 03:11:00,303

5146
03:11:01,855 --> 03:11:02,105
did you establish a relationship

5147
03:11:02,522 --> 03:11:02,772
with the SIC?

5148
03:11:04,257 --> 03:11:04,507
madam chairirpresentative

5149
03:11:08,027 --> 03:11:08,277
Caballero we are we are

5150
03:11:09,562 --> 03:11:09,812
currently establishing that

5151
03:11:10,130 --> 03:11:10,380
relationship with the state

5152
03:11:11,831 --> 03:11:12,081
investment council we're trying

5153
03:11:13,533 --> 03:11:13,783
to find out what our niche is

5154
03:11:15,635 --> 03:11:15,885
you know we know that they they

5155
03:11:16,436 --> 03:11:16,686
have invested over $2 billion in

5156
03:11:18,037 --> 03:11:18,287
over40 different venture capital

5157
03:11:20,039 --> 03:11:20,289
funds and we're wanting to just

5158
03:11:21,574 --> 03:11:21,824
again build relations find any

5159
03:11:23,610 --> 03:11:23,860
clues that you all have. this is

5160
03:11:25,578 --> 03:11:25,828
exactly why we're here just

5161
03:11:26,146 --> 03:11:26,396
making those introductions

5162
03:11:26,746 --> 03:11:26,996
because we yeah we feel like we

5163
03:11:27,413 --> 03:11:27,663
can help

5164
03:11:30,316 --> 03:11:30,566
the state. thank you madam Chair

5165
03:11:32,285 --> 03:11:32,535
and thank you. I think to

5166
03:11:34,053 --> 03:11:34,303
continue to establish that

5167
03:11:36,356 --> 03:11:36,606
relationship is important also

5168
03:11:37,590 --> 03:11:37,840
the relationship with the New

5169
03:11:39,859 --> 03:11:40,109
Mexico finance Authority I

5170
03:11:40,393 --> 03:11:40,643
think that

5171
03:11:44,297 --> 03:11:44,547
you they will explain to you the

5172
03:11:46,032 --> 03:11:46,282
various steps that would be

5173
03:11:48,334 --> 03:11:48,584
necessary for your entity to be

5174
03:11:51,571 --> 03:11:51,821
able to enter into a

5175
03:11:53,573 --> 03:11:53,823
relationship at the state level

5176
03:11:55,775 --> 03:11:56,025
and address the the questions

5177
03:11:58,044 --> 03:11:58,294
that have come up with by

5178
03:11:59,846 --> 03:12:00,096
Representative Luundstrom and

5179
03:12:01,881 --> 03:12:02,131
other andpresentative Lumstrom

5180
03:12:02,549 --> 03:12:02,799
and

5181
03:12:03,650 --> 03:12:03,900
it it

5182
03:12:08,087 --> 03:12:08,337
it will guide you in terms of

5183
03:12:09,789 --> 03:12:10,039
the steps that you need to

5184
03:12:11,825 --> 03:12:12,075
follow in building that

5185
03:12:13,626 --> 03:12:13,876
relationship because this is a

5186
03:12:14,294 --> 03:12:14,544
fine area of

5187
03:12:18,064 --> 03:12:18,314
concentration you have

5188
03:12:19,933 --> 03:12:20,183
identified the downtown

5189
03:12:21,801 --> 03:12:22,051
Albuquerque revitalization, the

5190
03:12:23,570 --> 03:12:23,820
ethical Ai agricultural work as

5191
03:12:26,539 --> 03:12:26,789
your focus I guess your your

5192
03:12:27,107 --> 03:12:27,357
focus

5193
03:12:29,676 --> 03:12:29,926
in terms of

5194
03:12:32,245 --> 03:12:32,495
fundraising and I think it's

5195
03:12:34,047 --> 03:12:34,297
really important those three

5196
03:12:35,982 --> 03:12:36,232
areas agricultural work madam

5197
03:12:37,851 --> 03:12:38,101
chairir is vitally important

5198
03:12:39,853 --> 03:12:40,103
right now because we've got to

5199
03:12:42,322 --> 03:12:42,572
bring in that indigenous

5200
03:12:44,290 --> 03:12:44,540
knowledge that we have in terms

5201
03:12:46,159 --> 03:12:46,409
of agriculture and food

5202
03:12:46,659 --> 03:12:46,909
preservation

5203
03:12:49,529 --> 03:12:49,779
we're faced with a climate

5204
03:12:52,065 --> 03:12:52,315
crisis we're also faced with an

5205
03:12:55,635 --> 03:12:55,885
unwanted war we're also faced

5206
03:12:56,236 --> 03:12:56,486
with a very

5207
03:13:00,306 --> 03:13:00,556
gloomy future in terms of water

5208
03:13:04,310 --> 03:13:04,560
in terms of pollution of our

5209
03:13:07,580 --> 03:13:07,830
air and land and destruction of

5210
03:13:09,582 --> 03:13:09,832
our land so a lot of these and

5211
03:13:11,584 --> 03:13:11,834
so we've got to bring back that

5212
03:13:13,820 --> 03:13:14,070
indigenous knowledge madam

5213
03:13:16,055 --> 03:13:16,305
chair to help us find ways to

5214
03:13:20,260 --> 03:13:20,510
preserve food for the future

5215
03:13:22,529 --> 03:13:22,779
should we faced and when it's

5216
03:13:23,830 --> 03:13:24,080
not going to happen in our

5217
03:13:25,665 --> 03:13:25,915
lifetime I'm worried about our

5218
03:13:26,366 --> 03:13:26,616
children and grandchildren and

5219
03:13:27,033 --> 03:13:27,283
great grandchild

5220
03:13:28,568 --> 03:13:28,818
re n because they may be faced

5221
03:13:31,604 --> 03:13:31,854
with well I don't know in our

5222
03:13:33,573 --> 03:13:33,823
lifetime we may face invasion of

5223
03:13:36,109 --> 03:13:36,359
our utilities or the outages

5224
03:13:38,077 --> 03:13:38,327
more and more outages and lack

5225
03:13:39,813 --> 03:13:40,063
of water we already heard this

5226
03:13:41,581 --> 03:13:41,831
morning madam chairir that we

5227
03:13:42,315 --> 03:13:42,565
have communities which is

5228
03:13:45,819 --> 03:13:46,069
appalling to me that are

5229
03:13:47,587 --> 03:13:47,837
faced with all those conditions

5230
03:13:48,254 --> 03:13:48,504
still

5231
03:13:49,722 --> 03:13:49,972

small business and the

5249
03:14:30,363 --> 03:14:30,613
administration for Native

5250
03:14:31,564 --> 03:14:31,814
Americans those were all

5251
03:14:32,132 --> 03:14:32,382
entities that we were

5252
03:14:36,536 --> 03:14:36,786
so they were very strong support

5253
03:14:37,570 --> 03:14:37,820
so thank you very much thank you

5254
03:14:38,238 --> 03:14:38,488
madam chair

madamirpresentative Caballero

5256
03:14:42,308 --> 03:14:42,558
thank you so much for your words

5257
03:14:44,377 --> 03:14:44,627
we also received atl grant

from the Mexico Economic

5259
03:14:46,312 --> 03:14:46,562
Development to become a

5260
03:14:48,348 --> 03:14:48,598
certified incubator and

5261
03:14:49,816 --> 03:14:50,066
accelerator so that I think that

5262
03:14:50,583 --> 03:14:50,833
also answers your

5263
03:14:52,318 --> 03:14:52,568
questionpresentative Liundstrom

5264
03:14:54,087 --> 03:14:54,337
as well so we definitely want to

5265
03:14:55,822 --> 03:14:56,072
stay in conversations we want

5266
03:14:56,623 --> 03:14:56,873
just more Face time you know we

5267
03:14:57,924 --> 03:14:58,174
hear that a lot of people have

5268
03:14:59,626 --> 03:14:59,876
never heard of New Mexico

5269
03:15:01,628 --> 03:15:01,878
community capital so that's also

5270
03:15:02,362 --> 03:15:02,612
a reason why we're here we want

5271
03:15:03,897 --> 03:15:04,147
to make sure that we're in

5272
03:15:05,832 --> 03:15:06,082
community making the trips out

5273
03:15:07,634 --> 03:15:07,884
to gallup and other locations

5274
03:15:08,201 --> 03:15:08,451
and lastly we also

5275
03:15:11,771 --> 03:15:12,021
helped bidi Baoos Zachariah

5276
03:15:14,073 --> 03:15:14,323
Mary ben buy a four acre farm

5277
03:15:14,674 --> 03:15:14,924
outside of Farmington in aztec,

5278
03:15:17,577 --> 03:15:17,827
New Mexico and help them with

5279
03:15:19,646 --> 03:15:19,896
their freeze drying operation

5280
03:15:20,313 --> 03:15:20,563
and baby food line. so thank

5281
03:15:20,980 --> 03:15:21,230
you.

5282
03:15:23,716 --> 03:15:23,966
thank youpresentative

5283
03:15:26,352 --> 03:15:26,602
any other questions for members

5284
03:15:27,053 --> 03:15:27,303
so

5285
03:15:30,490 --> 03:15:30,740
you want a million dollars to do

5286
03:15:31,124 --> 03:15:31,374
building.

5287
03:15:37,564 --> 03:15:37,814
madam chairir we do but we

5288
03:15:39,833 --> 03:15:40,083
also I think we're a s re kind

5289
03:15:41,868 --> 03:15:42,118
of framing that for programming

5290
03:15:43,536 --> 03:15:43,786
so we're not asking asking for

5291
03:15:44,237 --> 03:15:44,487
capital

5292
03:15:45,672 --> 03:15:45,922
at this point that that that's a

5293
03:15:46,339 --> 03:15:46,589
whole different thing now

5294
03:15:50,343 --> 03:15:50,593
willing to do that but what's

5295
03:15:52,278 --> 03:15:52,528
your background akila what did

5296
03:15:55,548 --> 03:15:55,798
you get a degree at Stanford or

5297
03:15:58,084 --> 03:15:58,334
what what what kind of or yeah

5298
03:16:00,053 --> 03:16:00,303
so I like I said I'm from south

5299
03:16:01,855 --> 03:16:02,105
of Gallup and I primarily live

5300
03:16:04,124 --> 03:16:04,374
there now. I got a bachelor of

5301
03:16:05,592 --> 03:16:05,842
fine arts from Universityiv of

5302
03:16:08,094 --> 03:16:08,344
New Mexico and then I went

5303
03:16:08,661 --> 03:16:08,911
and took care of my grandma into

5304
03:16:11,831 --> 03:16:12,081
hospice up until 2018 and then I

5305
03:16:13,600 --> 03:16:13,850
kind of entered theXR augmented

5306
03:16:15,835 --> 03:16:16,085
reality technology scene

5307
03:16:17,637 --> 03:16:17,887
through a nontraditional route

5308
03:16:18,371 --> 03:16:18,621
so I did a lot of

5309
03:16:20,373 --> 03:16:20,623
like coding boot camps but what

5310
03:16:22,108 --> 03:16:22,358
I did is that I attended

5311
03:16:24,110 --> 03:16:24,360
hackathons at like MIt and

5312
03:16:26,112 --> 03:16:26,362
Stanford joined teams and then

5313
03:16:27,580 --> 03:16:27,830
that's how I won the awards

5314
03:16:30,083 --> 03:16:30,333
there and the reason I ask is

5315
03:16:31,818 --> 03:16:32,068
because when one of the

5316
03:16:32,485 --> 03:16:32,735
granddaughters too wanted

5317
03:16:36,089 --> 03:16:36,339
I believe graphic arts degree

5318
03:16:37,857 --> 03:16:38,107
good didn't have any here in New

5319
03:16:40,059 --> 03:16:40,309
Mexico are higher education

5320
03:16:41,828 --> 03:16:42,078
institutions didn't offer so she

5321
03:16:44,063 --> 03:16:44,313
had to go out of state and what

5322
03:16:46,099 --> 03:16:46,349
I'm reading too with some of our

5323
03:16:48,067 --> 03:16:48,317
higher education institutions

5324
03:16:49,803 --> 03:16:50,053
you went through fine arts but

5325
03:16:51,805 --> 03:16:52,055
you probably just had one or two

5326
03:16:54,073 --> 03:16:54,323
classes in digital or technology

5327
03:16:56,309 --> 03:16:56,559
yeah it was only just a few that

5328
03:16:57,844 --> 03:16:58,094
were offered but that's kind of

5329
03:16:59,846 --> 03:17:00,096
where I really saw coding as

5330
03:17:02,348 --> 03:17:02,598
an avenue for me and then

5331
03:17:02,916 --> 03:17:03,166
that it exactly like

5332
03:17:06,085 --> 03:17:06,335
I had to join a I received an

5333
03:17:08,087 --> 03:17:08,337
immersive technology fellowship

5334
03:17:09,823 --> 03:17:10,073
that enabled me to travel

5335
03:17:11,791 --> 03:17:12,041
between Los Angeles and New York

5336
03:17:14,093 --> 03:17:14,343
City to learn about social

5337
03:17:15,862 --> 03:17:16,112
entrepreneurship coupled withXR

5338
03:17:16,563 --> 03:17:16,813
technologies so that's kind of

5339
03:17:18,298 --> 03:17:18,548
like what really was

5340
03:17:20,333 --> 03:17:20,583
foundational for me and then

5341
03:17:22,101 --> 03:17:22,351
the supporting the supportive

5342
03:17:24,337 --> 03:17:24,587
environment that NMCc provide

5343
03:17:25,004 --> 03:17:25,254
was really

5344
03:17:29,576 --> 03:17:29,826
huge for me because like even

5345
03:17:30,343 --> 03:17:30,593
I've had family members talk

5346
03:17:32,312 --> 03:17:32,562
down on me saying like why are

5347
03:17:32,912 --> 03:17:33,162
you going down this

5348
03:17:34,314 --> 03:17:34,564
nontraditional path like you

5349
03:17:35,815 --> 03:17:36,065
should just get a regular job

5350
03:17:37,584 --> 03:17:37,834
you know like not believing in

5351
03:17:40,086 --> 03:17:40,336
the vision so like I think that

5352
03:17:42,088 --> 03:17:42,338
I think a lot of entrepreneurs

5353
03:17:44,390 --> 03:17:44,640
we can face an environment like

5354
03:17:45,825 --> 03:17:46,075
that but when we step into a

5355
03:17:48,161 --> 03:17:48,411
supportive environment like NMCc

5356
03:17:50,330 --> 03:17:50,580
that I think is a really like

5357
03:17:53,967 --> 03:17:54,217
a local environment that was

5358
03:17:54,667 --> 03:17:54,917
really helpful for me on my

5359
03:17:55,201 --> 03:17:55,451
journey

5360
03:17:56,469 --> 03:17:56,719
and you think that's one thing

5361
03:17:58,271 --> 03:17:58,521
that I'm not I mean we do try to

5362
03:18:00,140 --> 03:18:00,390
do stuff through our career

5363
03:18:00,673 --> 03:18:00,923
technical education

5364
03:18:05,545 --> 03:18:05,795
but when we talk about a lot of

5365
03:18:06,579 --> 03:18:06,829
this doing with the coding and

5366
03:18:07,580 --> 03:18:07,830
online I don't think our

5367
03:18:08,148 --> 03:18:08,398
curriculum

5368
03:18:13,853 --> 03:18:14,103
still with the traditional

5369
03:18:15,822 --> 03:18:16,072
route but we're not adapting

5370
03:18:18,124 --> 03:18:18,374
very much very quickly and I

5371
03:18:19,559 --> 03:18:19,809
think that's where we end up

5372
03:18:21,795 --> 03:18:22,045
lacking very much behind. Yeah.

5373
03:18:23,563 --> 03:18:23,813
so one of my funders that is

5374
03:18:25,632 --> 03:18:25,882
actually most likely gonna be

5375
03:18:26,399 --> 03:18:26,649
renewed before the end of the

5376
03:18:28,334 --> 03:18:28,584
year and that's the fiscal

5377
03:18:30,069 --> 03:18:30,319
the funding went through the

5378
03:18:32,071 --> 03:18:32,321
these guys as a fiscal agent

5379
03:18:34,641 --> 03:18:34,891
that is the next mission is

5380
03:18:36,142 --> 03:18:36,392
programming especially on the

5381
03:18:38,111 --> 03:18:38,361
Navajo Nation and then

5382
03:18:39,646 --> 03:18:39,896
there's also another source of

5383
03:18:40,280 --> 03:18:40,530
fun

5384
03:18:42,115 --> 03:18:42,365
ding that glittering world girl

5385
03:18:44,350 --> 03:18:44,600
is tapping into to bring

5386
03:18:46,052 --> 03:18:46,302
technologyXR technology

5387
03:18:47,821 --> 03:18:48,071
programming associated with

5388
03:18:50,089 --> 03:18:50,339
mural creation so it's like art

5389
03:18:52,058 --> 03:18:52,308
and technology like s steam

5390
03:18:55,628 --> 03:18:55,878
into Bernnailo County as well so

5391
03:18:57,897 --> 03:18:58,147
yeah and I think that with

5392
03:19:00,333 --> 03:19:00,583
with the budget cuts that

5393
03:19:02,068 --> 03:19:02,318
schools have been seeing this

5394
03:19:04,070 --> 03:19:04,320
could be a model too that

5395
03:19:06,172 --> 03:19:06,422
programming that goes into

5396
03:19:06,806 --> 03:19:07,056
schools and that they don't have

5397
03:19:09,609 --> 03:19:09,859
to fund it themselves so you did

5398
03:19:10,243 --> 03:19:10,493
receive

5399
03:19:12,078 --> 03:19:12,328
money from the nation and that's

5400
03:19:14,280 --> 03:19:14,530
the thing I'm kind of so the the

5401
03:19:16,282 --> 03:19:16,532
bit confused about in some sense

5402
03:19:17,584 --> 03:19:17,834
because you're saying you're the

5403
03:19:18,218 --> 03:19:18,468
only native American nonprofit

5404
03:19:21,588 --> 03:19:21,838
yes you're probably the only

5405
03:19:24,090 --> 03:19:24,340
nonprofit but our tribes nations

5406
03:19:26,126 --> 03:19:26,376
and pueblos do there do you have

5407
03:19:27,794 --> 03:19:28,044
their own economic development

5408
03:19:29,863 --> 03:19:30,113
money but you did not receive it

5409
03:19:31,898 --> 03:19:32,148
or you didn't qualify for it. I

5410
03:19:36,302 --> 03:19:36,552
madam chairir, I I have not

5411
03:19:37,771 --> 03:19:38,021
received money from the Navajo

5412
03:19:38,404 --> 03:19:38,654
Nation.

5413
03:19:41,574 --> 03:19:41,824
you didn't qualify or you didn't

5414
03:19:43,610 --> 03:19:43,860
never applied or what what what

5415
03:19:45,845 --> 03:19:46,095
do you to be clear I did receive

5416
03:19:47,847 --> 03:19:48,097
their the hardship assistance

5417
03:19:50,316 --> 03:19:50,566
that was for the artisans

5418
03:19:51,885 --> 03:19:52,135
during COVID that's the that's

5419
03:19:53,586 --> 03:19:53,836
what I've received from the

5420
03:19:55,622 --> 03:19:55,872
Navajo Nation that was for

5421
03:19:57,657 --> 03:19:57,907
small businesses and artisans

5422
03:19:59,893 --> 03:20:00,143
for COID during theOID pandemic

5423
03:20:03,563 --> 03:20:03,813
but I honestly have not even

5424
03:20:04,330 --> 03:20:04,580
tried to see if I could apply

5425
03:20:06,166 --> 03:20:06,416
for funding from the Navajo

5426
03:20:06,699 --> 03:20:06,949
Nation past that

5427
03:20:10,036 --> 03:20:10,286
so then that's the thing I'm

5428
03:20:11,805 --> 03:20:12,055
wondering too with the nonpro

5429
03:20:13,807 --> 03:20:14,057
you know a nonprofit as far as a

5430
03:20:16,142 --> 03:20:16,392
resource too is that the funding

5431
03:20:16,810 --> 03:20:17,060
also

5432
03:20:21,815 --> 03:20:22,065
that you also put them in touch

5433
03:20:22,515 --> 03:20:22,765
with their own tribes nations

5434
03:20:24,083 --> 03:20:24,333
and publiclos because they find

5435
03:20:26,085 --> 03:20:26,335
that as the fiscal agent that's

5436
03:20:27,587 --> 03:20:27,837
where our money would be

5437
03:20:28,054 --> 03:20:28,304
funneled to to LEA

5438
03:20:31,624 --> 03:20:31,874
in that way and that our tribes

5439
03:20:33,593 --> 03:20:33,843
nations of pueblos can apply for

5440
03:20:35,795 --> 03:20:36,045
it to implement these programs

5441
03:20:37,564 --> 03:20:37,814
within there as far as

5442
03:20:39,899 --> 03:20:40,149
sovereignty and when you were

5443
03:20:40,567 --> 03:20:40,817
speaking about just women

5444
03:20:41,835 --> 03:20:42,085
receiving something like that

5445
03:20:43,837 --> 03:20:44,087
but that I don't think is

5446
03:20:45,805 --> 03:20:46,055
something we do in general we

5447
03:20:48,308 --> 03:20:48,558
try to it's not about sex it's

5448
03:20:50,310 --> 03:20:50,560
just about you know making

5449
03:20:52,078 --> 03:20:52,328
sure everybody has that

5450
03:20:53,880 --> 03:20:54,130
opportunity equal opportunity

5451
03:20:55,849 --> 03:20:56,099
for the funding so very

5452
03:20:57,817 --> 03:20:58,067
interesting but I like very

5453
03:20:58,384 --> 03:20:58,634
much needed for what you're

5454
03:20:58,952 --> 03:20:59,202
doing

5455
03:21:00,320 --> 03:21:00,570
but you know we need further

5456
03:21:03,623 --> 03:21:03,873
discussion and clarity so I do

5457
03:21:04,324 --> 03:21:04,574
offer you to you know talk to

5458
03:21:05,558 --> 03:21:05,808
our members here to to

5459
03:21:13,900 --> 03:21:14,150
ation and even as far as

5460
03:21:15,668 --> 03:21:15,918
moving forward in need I don't

5461
03:21:16,336 --> 03:21:16,586
know if you have any closing

5462
03:21:16,970 --> 03:21:17,220
comments

5463
03:21:21,841 --> 03:21:22,091
madam chairirpresentative

5467

really important work to us and

5468
03:21:36,089 --> 03:21:36,339
I feel that

03:21:42,061 --> 03:21:42,311
we do an amazing heartfelt

5470
03:21:44,631 --> 03:21:44,881
job with community and we want

5471
03:21:48,101 --> 03:21:48,351
to see it continue so if there

5472
03:21:50,336 --> 03:21:50,586
are opportunities you know of

5473
03:21:53,807 --> 03:21:54,057
that we don't know and to be

5474
03:21:57,944 --> 03:21:58,194
honest I am not as familiar. I

5475
03:21:59,612 --> 03:21:59,862

5476
03:22:02,382 --> 03:22:02,632

with our people here

November of last year

5514
03:24:05,505 --> 03:24:05,755
just about a month ago I

5515
03:24:06,606 --> 03:24:06,856
received an invitation through

03:24:08,141 --> 03:24:08,391
email to sit before the

5517
03:24:10,176 --> 03:24:10,426
committee and express some

5518
03:24:11,811 --> 03:24:12,061
thoughts about believe it was

5519
03:24:12,479 --> 03:24:12,729
capital outlay

5520
03:24:14,347 --> 03:24:14,597
I shared that invitation with

5521
03:24:18,084 --> 03:24:18,334
our chapter officials and Mr

5522
03:24:19,786 --> 03:24:20,036
Daniel Lee our chapter president

5523
03:24:22,055 --> 03:24:22,305
is here with me today. I have

5524
03:24:24,090 --> 03:24:24,340
not come with a script per se

5525
03:24:25,859 --> 03:24:26,109
but would have come with is a

5526
03:24:27,827 --> 03:24:28,077
message and a couple of

5527
03:24:29,596 --> 03:24:29,846
inquiries so I'll allow Mr. Lee

5528
03:24:30,263 --> 03:24:30,513

5531
03:24:39,139 --> 03:24:39,389
inviting us and then

5532
03:24:43,877 --> 03:24:44,127
it's like Reagan said my CSE

5533
03:24:44,544 --> 03:24:44,794
and

5534
03:24:46,412 --> 03:24:46,662
then do a little bit of a

5535
03:24:49,849 --> 03:24:50,099
presentation and we'll just do

5536
03:24:51,785 --> 03:24:52,035
it offhands instead of having

5537
03:24:52,485 --> 03:24:52,735
notes and all that so

5538
03:24:52,952 --> 03:24:53,202
thank you

5539
03:24:59,826 --> 03:25:00,076
Again madam chair members of the

5540
03:25:01,828 --> 03:25:02,078
committee representing

5541
03:25:03,863 --> 03:25:04,113
mannuitto chapter first and

5542
03:25:06,099 --> 03:25:06,349
foremost we are a smaller

5543
03:25:09,669 --> 03:25:09,919
chapter our our service area

5544
03:25:11,838 --> 03:25:12,088
probably covers just under1,000

5545
03:25:13,573 --> 03:25:13,823
individuals now who are

5546
03:25:16,109 --> 03:25:16,359
individuals we have numerous

5547
03:25:18,111 --> 03:25:18,361
capital outlay projects we have

5548
03:25:21,581 --> 03:25:21,831
I believe14 projects upwards of

5549
03:25:24,117 --> 03:25:24,367
$6 million that are in the in in

5550
03:25:25,919 --> 03:25:26,169
the cooker so to speak we have a

5551
03:25:26,619 --> 03:25:26,869
number that are very very active

5552
03:25:27,320 --> 03:25:27,570
we have a number

5553
03:25:31,591 --> 03:25:31,841
that are being delayed the

5554
03:25:32,425 --> 03:25:32,675
biggest portion of the delayed

5555
03:25:34,160 --> 03:25:34,410
projects falls upon our

5556
03:25:34,627 --> 03:25:34,877
electrification projects

5557
03:25:36,429 --> 03:25:36,679
the biggest

5558
03:25:40,166 --> 03:25:40,416
obstacle for our electrification

5559
03:25:42,135 --> 03:25:42,385
power line residential projects

5560
03:25:45,872 --> 03:25:46,122
is right of way access given

5561
03:25:47,574 --> 03:25:47,824
the various land statuses that

5562
03:25:48,208 --> 03:25:48,458
we have in your manually to

5563
03:25:49,876 --> 03:25:50,126
chapter of course we're on

5564
03:25:52,378 --> 03:25:52,628
Navajo Trust land we're also on

5565
03:25:54,114 --> 03:25:54,364
allotted land we are on state

5566
03:25:56,149 --> 03:25:56,399
land we have a number of issues

5567
03:25:57,617 --> 03:25:57,867
that are very very challenging

5568
03:26:00,086 --> 03:26:00,336
so getting the rights of way is

5569
03:26:03,623 --> 03:26:03,873
a very very extensive experience

5570
03:26:06,359 --> 03:26:06,609
I am looking right now at one

5571
03:26:07,026 --> 03:26:07,276
particular project that has

5572
03:26:10,330 --> 03:26:10,580
been on the books for manuallito

5573
03:26:14,100 --> 03:26:14,350
chapters since 2008 and the

5574
03:26:15,602 --> 03:26:15,852
biggest hindrance there is the

5575
03:26:18,071 --> 03:26:18,321
right of way access. now the

5576
03:26:20,173 --> 03:26:20,423
the contracting company

5577
03:26:21,574 --> 03:26:21,824
continental Divide has done

5578
03:26:23,576 --> 03:26:23,826
their share of reaching out.

5579
03:26:26,112 --> 03:26:26,362
They are in now in the fourth

5580
03:26:29,616 --> 03:26:29,866
round of sending out appeals for

5581
03:26:30,350 --> 03:26:30,600
right of way through allottees

5582
03:26:32,085 --> 03:26:32,335
and things of that nature. So

5583
03:26:34,354 --> 03:26:34,604
and where I'm going with this is

5584
03:26:36,422 --> 03:26:36,672
I I would like to see some sort

5585
03:26:37,157 --> 03:26:37,407
of a

5586
03:26:41,628 --> 03:26:41,878
an amendment or an addressing of

5587
03:26:43,897 --> 03:26:44,147
an issue here in these kinds of

5588
03:26:46,099 --> 03:26:46,349
situations where where a lottes

5589
03:26:48,334 --> 03:26:48,584
and other land issues are really

5590
03:26:50,336 --> 03:26:50,586
an obstacle to getting the right

5591
03:26:51,805 --> 03:26:52,055
of way in for these

5592
03:26:53,840 --> 03:26:54,090
electrification projects we

5593
03:26:55,575 --> 03:26:55,825
have4 clients on this particular

5594
03:26:57,710 --> 03:26:57,960
project that have been waiting

5595
03:26:58,411 --> 03:26:58,661
for power for

5596
03:27:00,113 --> 03:27:00,363
a number of years 20 since 2008

5597
03:27:03,550 --> 03:27:03,800
and if there if there could be

5598
03:27:05,585 --> 03:27:05,835
some some investigatory

5599
03:27:06,352 --> 03:27:06,602
committee or something perhaps

5600
03:27:08,087 --> 03:27:08,337
we can offer some solutions

5601
03:27:10,323 --> 03:27:10,573
perhaps manuallito chapter

5602
03:27:13,860 --> 03:27:14,110
could be more forward more more

5603
03:27:17,597 --> 03:27:17,847
proactive in reaching out to

5604
03:27:19,799 --> 03:27:20,049
the allottees but the biggest

5605
03:27:20,433 --> 03:27:20,683
obstacle that we're seeing is

5606
03:27:24,304 --> 03:27:24,554
right of way just gaining

5607
03:27:25,705 --> 03:27:25,955
right of way

5608
03:27:29,576 --> 03:27:29,826
whether whether it be you know

5609
03:27:30,343 --> 03:27:30,593
the the allottes on the

5610
03:27:32,345 --> 03:27:32,595
allotment lands there are some

5611
03:27:34,414 --> 03:27:34,664
state land issues we we're

5612
03:27:34,948 --> 03:27:35,198
just

5613
03:27:38,451 --> 03:27:38,701
I'm going to say we're we're a

5614
03:27:40,353 --> 03:27:40,603
little frustrated at it of

5615
03:27:41,888 --> 03:27:42,138
course they're there are there

5616
03:27:42,522 --> 03:27:42,772
are other issues there are there

5617
03:27:45,592 --> 03:27:45,842
are some systems systemic issues

5618
03:27:47,894 --> 03:27:48,144
within the the processes

5619
03:27:49,596 --> 03:27:49,846
withnavo Nation there are other

5620
03:27:50,230 --> 03:27:50,480
issues there but the biggest

5621
03:27:52,365 --> 03:27:52,615
problem we have is gaining right

5622
03:27:54,100 --> 03:27:54,350
of way so for the

5623
03:27:54,434 --> 03:27:54,684
electrification

5624
03:27:59,939 --> 03:28:00,189
secondly I would appeal to

5625
03:28:00,507 --> 03:28:00,757
this committee

5626
03:28:06,446 --> 03:28:06,696
to advocate for a voice in an

5627
03:28:09,582 --> 03:28:09,832
area called manualito Big House

5628
03:28:11,885 --> 03:28:12,135
Ruins. It is a national historic

5629
03:28:15,622 --> 03:28:15,872
landmark there are3 families

5630
03:28:16,322 --> 03:28:16,572
that have been in that area

5631
03:28:19,859 --> 03:28:20,109
that that that that that's their

5632
03:28:22,529 --> 03:28:22,779
homeland and they do not have

5633
03:28:23,196 --> 03:28:23,446
the basic

5634
03:28:27,600 --> 03:28:27,850
infrastructure needed they do

5635
03:28:28,434 --> 03:28:28,684
not have water lines they do not

5636
03:28:29,102 --> 03:28:29,352
have power

5637
03:28:33,840 --> 03:28:34,090
I am meeting Wednesday with

5638
03:28:35,842 --> 03:28:36,092
these families on what I have

5639
03:28:38,344 --> 03:28:38,594
coined as the big house task

5640
03:28:41,648 --> 03:28:41,898
forcece. What I want to do is

5641
03:28:43,683 --> 03:28:43,933
gain an audience with our

5642
03:28:45,618 --> 03:28:45,868
Navonation source and

5643
03:28:46,586 --> 03:28:46,836
Developmentittee to see if we

5644
03:28:49,622 --> 03:28:49,872
can't advocate that this

5645
03:28:50,156 --> 03:28:50,406
property which is on state land

5646
03:28:53,893 --> 03:28:54,143
there is on the fringes of this

5647
03:28:54,561 --> 03:28:54,811
property

5648
03:28:55,728 --> 03:28:55,978
a power line

5649
03:28:58,364 --> 03:28:58,614
one of the families on this

5650
03:28:58,965 --> 03:28:59,215
property does have power

5651
03:29:02,068 --> 03:29:02,318
but there are two other families

5652
03:29:03,570 --> 03:29:03,820
there that have no power and

5653
03:29:05,839 --> 03:29:06,089
have no water. the families that

5654
03:29:07,807 --> 03:29:08,057
are that are without the water

5655
03:29:08,508 --> 03:29:08,758
they do

5656
03:29:10,343 --> 03:29:10,593
live on a cistern system

5657
03:29:14,380 --> 03:29:14,630
but the fellow's getting old and

5658
03:29:15,048 --> 03:29:15,298
he can't operate that cistern

5659
03:29:18,318 --> 03:29:18,568
and these things these are not

5660
03:29:21,654 --> 03:29:21,904
gonna change so my petition here

5661
03:29:23,790 --> 03:29:24,040
particularly tends to a voice

5662
03:29:27,594 --> 03:29:27,844
perhaps a voice with the state

5663
03:29:29,596 --> 03:29:29,846
land board with from our

5664
03:29:31,831 --> 03:29:32,081
constituents there at manualito

5665
03:29:33,900 --> 03:29:34,150
through thenavo Nation Resource

5666
03:29:35,902 --> 03:29:36,152
and Development Committee. I

5667
03:29:37,604 --> 03:29:37,854
don't pretend to be a a

5668
03:29:39,606 --> 03:29:39,856
magnanimous voice for everybody

5669
03:29:40,340 --> 03:29:40,590
but I believe if we have the

5670
03:29:42,342 --> 03:29:42,592
backing of our own council that

5671
03:29:44,110 --> 03:29:44,360
we can talk to the the New

5672
03:29:45,812 --> 03:29:46,062
Mexico State Land Commission and

5673
03:29:46,513 --> 03:29:46,763
through this committee here

5674
03:29:47,046 --> 03:29:47,296
perhaps gain

5675
03:29:52,118 --> 03:29:52,368
gain some ground on bringing

5676
03:29:53,853 --> 03:29:54,103
infrastructure to these families

5677
03:29:56,356 --> 03:29:56,606
that live on the on the the

5678
03:29:58,358 --> 03:29:58,608
perimeters of this historic

5679
03:30:00,360 --> 03:30:00,610
landmark so those are my two

5680
03:30:01,027 --> 03:30:01,277
messages today

5681
03:30:08,468 --> 03:30:08,718
Yeah I like to add to that we

5682
03:30:09,135 --> 03:30:09,385
did contact

5683
03:30:10,537 --> 03:30:10,787
Santape

5684
03:30:12,005 --> 03:30:12,255
and

5685
03:30:16,376 --> 03:30:16,626
they just told us to get

5686
03:30:18,311 --> 03:30:18,561
representative like you guys and

5687
03:30:19,913 --> 03:30:20,163
saying that ok

5688
03:30:24,017 --> 03:30:24,267
we we know about the spartan

5689
03:30:24,651 --> 03:30:24,901
all this

5690
03:30:29,622 --> 03:30:29,872
other stuff like GPS and all

5691
03:30:32,091 --> 03:30:32,341
that and you know you guys know

5692
03:30:34,327 --> 03:30:34,577
whereabouts this place is then

5693
03:30:38,097 --> 03:30:38,347
they recommendations and then

5694
03:30:40,333 --> 03:30:40,583
that way they can somebody from

5695
03:30:42,335 --> 03:30:42,585
the commission can override it

5696
03:30:42,969 --> 03:30:43,219
and that's the reason why we're

5697
03:30:44,571 --> 03:30:44,821
here and

5698
03:30:49,609 --> 03:30:49,859
even with the roads that's the

5699
03:30:50,410 --> 03:30:50,660
reason why some of our capital

5700
03:30:52,345 --> 03:30:52,595
outlay went and reverted back

5701
03:30:53,913 --> 03:30:54,163
and we tried working

5702
03:30:55,849 --> 03:30:56,099
with the

5703
03:30:58,384 --> 03:30:58,634
county commissioners

5704
03:31:00,019 --> 03:31:00,269
and then

5705
03:31:01,955 --> 03:31:02,205
some of our

5706
03:31:03,723 --> 03:31:03,973
projects

5707
03:31:07,894 --> 03:31:08,144
went and reverted back and it's

5708
03:31:10,363 --> 03:31:10,613
due to the consents like he said

5709
03:31:14,067 --> 03:31:14,317
well right away and then now

5710
03:31:15,835 --> 03:31:16,085
they said that they revoked it

5711
03:31:16,536 --> 03:31:16,786
all the

5712
03:31:18,271 --> 03:31:18,521
MOUs so

5713
03:31:20,206 --> 03:31:20,456
we don't know

5714
03:31:23,877 --> 03:31:24,127
you know what's going to happen

5715
03:31:25,845 --> 03:31:26,095
now because a lot of people that

5716
03:31:26,579 --> 03:31:26,829
are in a community has

5717
03:31:28,414 --> 03:31:28,664
kids that go to school

5718
03:31:33,887 --> 03:31:34,137
and at the same time they

5719
03:31:34,454 --> 03:31:34,704
commute

5720
03:31:34,704 --> 03:31:34,954
to gallup

5721
03:31:35,922 --> 03:31:36,172
so

5722
03:31:40,193 --> 03:31:40,443
with that being said

5723
03:31:43,963 --> 03:31:44,213
we should like to have them help

5724
03:31:44,631 --> 03:31:44,881
from you guys

5725
03:31:45,899 --> 03:31:46,149
as far as

5726
03:31:50,303 --> 03:31:50,553
and doing all this other stuff

5727
03:31:51,805 --> 03:31:52,055
and then that way we can move on

5728
03:31:54,307 --> 03:31:54,557
with our projects and improve on

5729
03:31:57,610 --> 03:31:57,860
some of the roads and provide

5730
03:31:59,813 --> 03:32:00,063
service like water service and

5731
03:32:01,815 --> 03:32:02,065
power line to these community

5732
03:32:03,850 --> 03:32:04,100
members that's what we're asking

5733
03:32:06,419 --> 03:32:06,669
of today and at the same time

5734
03:32:08,588 --> 03:32:08,838
on the other hand

5735
03:32:12,425 --> 03:32:12,675
my wife is a teacher in Tohachi

5736
03:32:14,694 --> 03:32:14,944
and they moved us to

5737
03:32:20,600 --> 03:32:20,850
twin lakes and we do have issues

5738
03:32:21,668 --> 03:32:21,918
with the power line and water

5739
03:32:25,605 --> 03:32:25,855
there's no power there's no

5740
03:32:26,639 --> 03:32:26,889
pressure in the water most of

5741
03:32:27,307 --> 03:32:27,557
the time

5742
03:32:31,611 --> 03:32:31,861
and then in the middle of my

5743
03:32:32,312 --> 03:32:32,562
wife doing her lesson plan

5744
03:32:36,349 --> 03:32:36,599
the power goes off there's no

5745
03:32:39,819 --> 03:32:40,069
surcharge or anything we

5746
03:32:40,520 --> 03:32:40,770
complained about that so many

5747
03:32:41,121 --> 03:32:41,371
times

5748
03:32:44,124 --> 03:32:44,374
every time it goes out we

5749
03:32:44,691 --> 03:32:44,941
complain to

5750
03:32:46,159 --> 03:32:46,409
NTUA

5751
03:32:48,228 --> 03:32:48,478
they had done nothing

5752
03:32:53,833 --> 03:32:54,083
and even our our street light

5753
03:32:54,467 --> 03:32:54,717
right outside our trailer

5754
03:32:57,737 --> 03:32:57,987
it just goes out they haven't

5755
03:32:58,371 --> 03:32:58,621
done nothing about it

5756
03:32:58,838 --> 03:32:59,088
so

5757
03:33:00,073 --> 03:33:00,323
that's

5758
03:33:04,043 --> 03:33:04,293
the other thing that I wanted to

5759
03:33:06,346 --> 03:33:06,596
add to twin Lakes that were

5760
03:33:06,913 --> 03:33:07,163
here present

5761
03:33:08,214 --> 03:33:08,464

03:33:28,067 --> 03:33:28,317
comment so we don't want to ask

5769
03:33:28,735 --> 03:33:28,985
questions but I'll talk

5770
03:33:47,554 --> 03:33:47,804

reduce seizures and improve a

5792
03:34:27,627 --> 03:34:27,877
patient's quality of life. it's

5793
03:34:28,328 --> 03:34:28,578
been approved by the FDA and has

5794
03:34:30,330 --> 03:34:30,580
been been available for ir0

5795
03:34:32,332 --> 03:34:32,582
years. Today what I'd like to

5796
03:34:35,602 --> 03:34:35,852
share more than the the the VNS

5797
03:34:37,637 --> 03:34:37,887
system itself is the impact that

5798
03:34:38,304 --> 03:34:38,554
people living with drug

5799
03:34:41,841 --> 03:34:42,091
resistant epilepsy in a face in

5800
03:34:43,843 --> 03:34:44,093
New Mexico when most people hear

5801
03:34:44,611 --> 03:34:44,861
that word epilepsy they think

5802
03:34:45,278 --> 03:34:45,528
this is a

5803
03:34:46,412 --> 03:34:46,662
condition that can be controlled

5804
03:34:48,348 --> 03:34:48,598
primarily by medication but the

5805
03:34:51,551 --> 03:34:51,801
sad truth is about1 in3

5806
03:34:53,820 --> 03:34:54,070
individuals is not treatable or

5807
03:34:54,521 --> 03:34:54,771
they are not treatable by

5808
03:34:56,289 --> 03:34:56,539
medications and so despite

5809
03:34:59,592 --> 03:34:59,842
trying several anti seizure

5810
03:35:01,561 --> 03:35:01,811
therapies and medications

5811
03:35:02,262 --> 03:35:02,512
these patients are considered to

5812
03:35:03,797 --> 03:35:04,047
have what is called drug

5813
03:35:06,499 --> 03:35:06,749
resistant epilepsy DRE and

5814
03:35:08,134 --> 03:35:08,384
for these patients a seizure is

5815
03:35:10,103 --> 03:35:10,353
more than just an event it can

5816
03:35:12,071 --> 03:35:12,321
actually be life threatening

5817
03:35:14,073 --> 03:35:14,323
and lead to death. as this

5818
03:35:14,641 --> 03:35:14,891
challenge dis

5819
03:35:16,376 --> 03:35:16,626
p ro port ion ate ly affects

5820
03:35:17,844 --> 03:35:18,094
some of New Mexico's most

5821
03:35:20,079 --> 03:35:20,329
vulnerable populations and

5822
03:35:22,282 --> 03:35:22,532
that is why we are in particular

5823
03:35:24,284 --> 03:35:24,534
speaking about this today in

5824
03:35:25,618 --> 03:35:25,868
front of this committeesearch

5825
03:35:26,286 --> 03:35:26,536
shows that Native American

5826
03:35:28,321 --> 03:35:28,571
communities experience a greater

5827
03:35:31,791 --> 03:35:32,041
burden of epilepsy and epilepsy

5828
03:35:33,793 --> 03:35:34,043
related disparities than many

5829
03:35:34,394 --> 03:35:34,644
other populations in fact the

5830
03:35:36,262 --> 03:35:36,512
Navajo nation it is estimated

5831
03:35:40,333 --> 03:35:40,583
alone has about1600 cases of

5832
03:35:43,570 --> 03:35:43,820
drug resistant epilepsy yet

5833
03:35:44,170 --> 03:35:44,420
despite this need New Mexico has

5834
03:35:44,838 --> 03:35:45,088
been left

5835
03:35:47,807 --> 03:35:48,057
with an extraordinary access

5836
03:35:49,843 --> 03:35:50,093
problem and a challenge that

5837
03:35:51,578 --> 03:35:51,828
we still face today. The

5838
03:35:52,278 --> 03:35:52,528
Universityiv of New Mexico

5839
03:35:53,980 --> 03:35:54,230
hospitalspital is the only

5840
03:35:55,815 --> 03:35:56,065
hospital in our state performing

5841
03:35:59,586 --> 03:35:59,836
VNS implant procedures and we

5842
03:36:02,322 --> 03:36:02,572
may soon lose them as the

5843
03:36:05,592 --> 03:36:05,842
only provider in the state the

5844
03:36:06,526 --> 03:36:06,776
reason is simple the low

5845
03:36:09,629 --> 03:36:09,879
medicaid reimbursement to

5846
03:36:11,598 --> 03:36:11,848
hospitals for the procedure is

5847
03:36:13,600 --> 03:36:13,850
far too low and has not changed

5848
03:36:14,234 --> 03:36:14,484
since 2014 when

5849
03:36:17,637 --> 03:36:17,887
an entire state depends on a

5850
03:36:19,572 --> 03:36:19,822
single hospital for access to

5851
03:36:20,306 --> 03:36:20,556
specialized therapy patients and

5852
03:36:22,275 --> 03:36:22,525
families often face of course

5853
03:36:24,277 --> 03:36:24,527
significant barriers manyy must

5854
03:36:26,045 --> 03:36:26,295
travel long distances multiple

5855
03:36:29,582 --> 03:36:29,832
times consultations surgery

5856
03:36:31,584 --> 03:36:31,834
and followup care. Some require

5857
03:36:33,586 --> 03:36:33,836
transportation assistance. this

5858
03:36:35,588 --> 03:36:35,838
includes airlifts from places

5859
03:36:37,590 --> 03:36:37,840
like Gallup others simply do

5860
03:36:38,291 --> 03:36:38,541
not have the financial means and

5861
03:36:40,293 --> 03:36:40,543
the family support of logistical

5862
03:36:42,328 --> 03:36:42,578
ability to make these trips and

5863
03:36:44,130 --> 03:36:44,380
so wait times again as we

5864
03:36:46,299 --> 03:36:46,549
all know for specialists in the

5865
03:36:48,067 --> 03:36:48,317
state can be extraordinarily

5866
03:36:51,805 --> 03:36:52,055
long. All of these barriers

5867
03:36:53,606 --> 03:36:53,856
result in patients continually

5868
03:36:54,340 --> 03:36:54,590
cycling through the emergency

5869
03:36:55,809 --> 03:36:56,059
rooms and through hospital

5870
03:36:58,044 --> 03:36:58,294
admissions resulting in much

5871
03:36:59,846 --> 03:37:00,096
higher costs for not only the

5872
03:37:01,815 --> 03:37:02,065
families but for our own

5873
03:37:03,616 --> 03:37:03,866
healthcare authority here in New

5874
03:37:04,317 --> 03:37:04,567
Mexico because the system just

5875
03:37:06,286 --> 03:37:06,536
keeps recycling these folks

5876
03:37:07,654 --> 03:37:07,904
rather than treating what is

5877
03:37:08,288 --> 03:37:08,538
there

5878
03:37:11,558 --> 03:37:11,808
what we know is that there is

5879
03:37:13,827 --> 03:37:14,077
funding through medicaid

5880
03:37:15,562 --> 03:37:15,812
available and actually the state

5881
03:37:17,597 --> 03:37:17,847
is leaving dollars on the table

5882
03:37:18,331 --> 03:37:18,581
by not getting full

5883
03:37:20,066 --> 03:37:20,316
reimbursement for this

5884
03:37:23,570 --> 03:37:23,820
procedure. we have this issue

5885
03:37:25,572 --> 03:37:25,822
now before thelfC and have put

5886
03:37:28,074 --> 03:37:28,324
that there we may hopefully

5887
03:37:29,876 --> 03:37:30,126
call on Representative

5888
03:37:30,376 --> 03:37:30,626
Lindstrom and Representative

5889
03:37:32,112 --> 03:37:32,362
Herndon again to carry

5890
03:37:34,114 --> 03:37:34,364
legislation just to bolster that

5891
03:37:37,817 --> 03:37:38,067
support in thelfC so this

5892
03:37:38,451 --> 03:37:38,701
is not simply

5893
03:37:40,053 --> 03:37:40,303
a reimbursement discussion it

5894
03:37:42,322 --> 03:37:42,572
really is an access issue it's a

5895
03:37:44,290 --> 03:37:44,540
rural healthcare issue obviously

5896
03:37:46,092 --> 03:37:46,342
and it is a tribal healthcare

5897
03:37:48,061 --> 03:37:48,311
issue today we ask for your

5898
03:37:50,063 --> 03:37:50,313
legislative support to get the

5899
03:37:52,298 --> 03:37:52,548
department to cover the cost to

5900
03:37:54,067 --> 03:37:54,317
help improve the health and

5901
03:37:55,768 --> 03:37:56,018
quality of life for New Mexicans

5902
03:37:56,503 --> 03:37:56,753
dealing with drug resistant

5903
03:37:59,606 --> 03:37:59,856
epilepsy we want to regre again

5904
03:38:00,373 --> 03:38:00,623
Representative Lenstone,

5905
03:38:01,875 --> 03:38:02,125
Representative Herndon who've

5906
03:38:04,344 --> 03:38:04,594
carried this legislation and are

5907
03:38:05,845 --> 03:38:06,095
working to resolve this issue

5908
03:38:07,781 --> 03:38:08,031
along our side and we thank you

5909
03:38:08,448 --> 03:38:08,698

5910
03:38:11,551 --> 03:38:11,801

03:38:46,786 --> 03:38:47,036
welcome you all to gallup

5925
03:38:50,056 --> 03:38:50,306
I know this wasn't the

5926
03:38:52,325 --> 03:38:52,575
planned meeting location but we

5927
03:38:54,260 --> 03:38:54,510
are glad to have you here and we

5928
03:38:55,795 --> 03:38:56,045
would welcome you guys coming

5929
03:38:57,597 --> 03:38:57,847
back anytime for any other

5930
03:38:58,198 --> 03:38:58,448
committees that you might have

5931
03:39:00,066 --> 03:39:00,316
so I hope that you guys have

5932
03:39:01,868 --> 03:39:02,118
felt warm a warm welcome here

5933
03:39:03,603 --> 03:39:03,853
and hopefully we'll see I know I

5934
03:39:04,370 --> 03:39:04,620
will see you guys during

5935
03:39:06,106 --> 03:39:06,356
legislative session and

5936
03:39:07,807 --> 03:39:08,057
hopefully before then as well.

5937
03:39:09,876 --> 03:39:10,126
some of you I know very well

5938
03:39:10,610 --> 03:39:10,860
and some of you I've met maybe

5939
03:39:12,112 --> 03:39:12,362
once or twice over at the

5940
03:39:13,847 --> 03:39:14,097
state capitol and I hope to get

5941
03:39:16,149 --> 03:39:16,399
you to know you as well as my

5942
03:39:16,749 --> 03:39:16,999
my mentor here Bill

5943
03:39:19,886 --> 03:39:20,136
is so he obviously had a little

5944
03:39:21,588 --> 03:39:21,838
bit different of an agenda than

5945
03:39:22,322 --> 03:39:22,572
what I did. I just wanted to

5946
03:39:23,823 --> 03:39:24,073
make sure that you guys felt

5947
03:39:25,792 --> 03:39:26,042
welcome here there is one

5948
03:39:26,359 --> 03:39:26,609
thing that I would like to bring

5949
03:39:28,495 --> 03:39:28,745
to this committee it's been

5950
03:39:29,062 --> 03:39:29,312
talked about

5951
03:39:31,865 --> 03:39:32,115
in other places and maybe you

5952
03:39:32,532 --> 03:39:32,782
guys can give us a legup

5953
03:39:35,535 --> 03:39:35,785
as you know we have been

5954
03:39:37,904 --> 03:39:38,154
flooded in this area not only in

5955
03:39:39,839 --> 03:39:40,089
the gallup area but in McKinley

5956
03:39:40,573 --> 03:39:40,823
County and and across the state

5957
03:39:41,207 --> 03:39:41,457
for that matter

5958
03:39:43,777 --> 03:39:44,027
we are going to need some

5959
03:39:44,344 --> 03:39:44,594
help

5960
03:39:46,412 --> 03:39:46,662
not only in gallup but in the

5961
03:39:47,013 --> 03:39:47,263
county

5962
03:39:51,851 --> 03:39:52,101
to get our flood systems up to

5963
03:39:53,586 --> 03:39:53,836
speed and be able to handle

5964
03:39:54,354 --> 03:39:54,604
capacity now yes this might be

5965
03:39:55,021 --> 03:39:55,271
an abnormal year for storms

5966
03:39:59,592 --> 03:39:59,842
but as you've seen on some of

5967
03:40:00,260 --> 03:40:00,510
the video that's been taken

5968
03:40:00,894 --> 03:40:01,144
especially up in the Mexican

5969
03:40:03,596 --> 03:40:03,846
spprings area and and up in

5970
03:40:04,297 --> 03:40:04,547
northern McKinley County I mean

5971
03:40:06,132 --> 03:40:06,382
they've had entire roads that

5972
03:40:07,634 --> 03:40:07,884
have been washed out by the

5973
03:40:09,803 --> 03:40:10,053
floods and it's more just

5974
03:40:11,805 --> 03:40:12,055
because we haven't had enough

5975
03:40:13,606 --> 03:40:13,856
foresight to plan for that kind

5976
03:40:15,842 --> 03:40:16,092
of capacity of water gallup

5977
03:40:18,344 --> 03:40:18,594
also does suffer from that

5978
03:40:20,313 --> 03:40:20,563
you know we have a a majority

5979
03:40:21,681 --> 03:40:21,931
population that is native

5980
03:40:22,449 --> 03:40:22,699
American so I feel that this

5981
03:40:23,850 --> 03:40:24,100
committee is appropriate to

5982
03:40:24,617 --> 03:40:24,867
address to help us at least get

5983
03:40:25,285 --> 03:40:25,535
the

5984
03:40:28,121 --> 03:40:28,371
conversation started on

5985
03:40:29,756 --> 03:40:30,006
possibly upgrading our storm

5986
03:40:32,358 --> 03:40:32,608
drainage systems most if not

5987
03:40:35,595 --> 03:40:35,845
all of our storm drains are only

5988
03:40:36,262 --> 03:40:36,512
partially concreted

5989
03:40:38,631 --> 03:40:38,881
so when you go to bigger urban

5990
03:40:39,799 --> 03:40:40,049
areas most of the storm drainage

5991
03:40:41,601 --> 03:40:41,851
in the arroyos and like in

5992
03:40:42,168 --> 03:40:42,418
Albuquerque and other areas

5993
03:40:43,837 --> 03:40:44,087
they're fully concrete so they

5994
03:40:44,504 --> 03:40:44,754
don't have erosion problems like

5995
03:40:45,171 --> 03:40:45,421
we see here

5996
03:40:49,509 --> 03:40:49,759
when we get runoff from the

5997
03:40:51,611 --> 03:40:51,861
rains that happened in our area

5998
03:40:52,278 --> 03:40:52,528
it comes right through downtown

5999
03:40:54,280 --> 03:40:54,530
Gallup and we get everything

6000
03:40:55,815 --> 03:40:56,065
that comes along with it the

6001
03:40:57,617 --> 03:40:57,867
silt and the the debris and

6002
03:40:58,318 --> 03:40:58,568
everything but the most of

6003
03:41:01,588 --> 03:41:01,838
our arroyo system through the

6004
03:41:03,890 --> 03:41:04,140
gallup area from the Rio Puerco

6005
03:41:08,027 --> 03:41:08,277
is not fully concreted so we

6006
03:41:09,562 --> 03:41:09,812
are constantly having to do

6007
03:41:10,130 --> 03:41:10,380
maintenance on it and I say we

6008
03:41:11,798 --> 03:41:12,048
very loosely it's the community

6009
03:41:14,134 --> 03:41:14,384
it's the city the county they

6010
03:41:14,734 --> 03:41:14,984
they have to constantly maintain

6011
03:41:15,435 --> 03:41:15,685
these because

6012
03:41:18,338 --> 03:41:18,588
we are inundated with silt

6013
03:41:21,841 --> 03:41:22,091
debris mud and we also run into

6014
03:41:23,576 --> 03:41:23,826
jurisdictional issues from what

6015
03:41:25,779 --> 03:41:26,029
I've been told that where the

6016
03:41:27,847 --> 03:41:28,097
the land is like some of the the

6017
03:41:29,616 --> 03:41:29,866
people that have presented today

6018
03:41:30,316 --> 03:41:30,566
the land is owned by the state

6019
03:41:33,553 --> 03:41:33,803
the land is owned by BNSf or

6020
03:41:35,855 --> 03:41:36,105
other entities and it's hard to

6021
03:41:37,590 --> 03:41:37,840
acquire the proper permission to

6022
03:41:39,559 --> 03:41:39,809
do maintenance on the storm

6023
03:41:40,293 --> 03:41:40,543
drainage system. So I just

6024
03:41:42,095 --> 03:41:42,345
wanted to start the conversation

6025
03:41:43,863 --> 03:41:44,113
here I've I've talked with

6026
03:41:44,531 --> 03:41:44,781
the the city manager about it. I

6027
03:41:45,198 --> 03:41:45,448
haven't had the chance to talk

6028
03:41:45,899 --> 03:41:46,149
with the

6029
03:41:48,067 --> 03:41:48,317
county about it but I figured

6030
03:41:50,036 --> 03:41:50,286
that we could start the the the

6031
03:41:51,838 --> 03:41:52,088
conversation and maybe I can

6032
03:41:52,439 --> 03:41:52,689
work with our my local

6033
03:41:54,040 --> 03:41:54,290
legislators so that we can get

6034
03:41:55,742 --> 03:41:55,992
this maybe get something

6035
03:42:00,213 --> 03:42:00,463
Other than that I would again

6036
03:42:02,081 --> 03:42:02,331

6168
03:47:47,794 --> 03:47:48,044
these clients call me from my

6170
03:47:53,867 --> 03:47:54,117

6171
03:47:56,069 --> 03:47:56,319

03:47:58,304 --> 03:47:58,554
all of you to please the good

6173
03:47:59,873 --> 03:48:00,123

NCI to them

6175
03:48:04,043 --> 03:48:04,293
percentage

6176
03:48:07,847 --> 03:48:08,097
discrimination, keep those

good afternoon

6187
03:48:35,842 --> 03:48:36,092
the

6188
03:48:39,846 --> 03:48:40,096
committee here coming from

6189
03:48:40,480 --> 03:48:40,730
different parts of New Mexico

6190
03:48:44,083 --> 03:48:44,333
and I wanted to say a few

6191
03:48:45,652 --> 03:48:45,902
things here some of this was

6192
03:48:48,388 --> 03:48:48,638
stated this morning in the

6193
03:48:49,789 --> 03:48:50,039
presentation by the city of

6194
03:48:50,356 --> 03:48:50,606
Gallup

6195
03:48:53,827 --> 03:48:54,077
their officials a mayor and

6196
03:48:54,427 --> 03:48:54,677
the the city manager

6197
03:48:56,196 --> 03:48:56,446
and the

6198
03:48:58,431 --> 03:48:58,681
mental health department

6199
03:49:01,768 --> 03:49:02,018
of course yeah

6200
03:49:04,137 --> 03:49:04,387
ard ge ant Linibe hadti think so

6201
03:49:07,707 --> 03:49:07,957
my name is Larry Foster

6202
03:49:10,343 --> 03:49:10,593
and my wife is over here maddie

6203
03:49:14,414 --> 03:49:14,664
I'm from the townhouse rockck

6204
03:49:15,949 --> 03:49:16,199
people lankyon in

6205
03:49:18,351 --> 03:49:18,601
adolani manco people

6206
03:49:22,122 --> 03:49:22,372
on the second son of a Navajo

6207
03:49:22,789 --> 03:49:23,039
coat talker

6208
03:49:26,126 --> 03:49:26,376
Here they used to have the code

6209
03:49:27,794 --> 03:49:28,044
talker meetings monthly in here

6210
03:49:28,461 --> 03:49:28,711
in this building

6211
03:49:29,963 --> 03:49:30,213
so

6212
03:49:34,067 --> 03:49:34,317
the perspective of the city

6213
03:49:36,069 --> 03:49:36,319
presentation this mornings

6214
03:49:36,669 --> 03:49:36,919
from their administrative

6215
03:49:39,939 --> 03:49:40,189
some of the data is kind of

6216
03:49:40,507 --> 03:49:40,757
shortcoming

6217
03:49:42,542 --> 03:49:42,792
they might have been using the

6218
03:49:44,410 --> 03:49:44,660
old data or or some missing data

6219
03:49:50,083 --> 03:49:50,333
but it's very well taken but my

6220
03:49:51,785 --> 03:49:52,035
perspective right now is from

6221
03:49:52,385 --> 03:49:52,635
the human rights

6222
03:49:56,422 --> 03:49:56,672
and the civil rights of our the

6223
03:49:57,090 --> 03:49:57,340
indigenous people

6224
03:50:02,061 --> 03:50:02,311
nor cotten nepain that's what

6225
03:50:04,264 --> 03:50:04,514
we're called but the state in

6226
03:50:05,665 --> 03:50:05,915
New Mexico calls usnavajos

6227
03:50:11,805 --> 03:50:12,055
sookota so during their

6228
03:50:13,840 --> 03:50:14,090
rainstorms that we had recently

6229
03:50:16,042 --> 03:50:16,292
we saw a lot of things that

6230
03:50:18,111 --> 03:50:18,361
happened here in Gallup. I think

6231
03:50:20,113 --> 03:50:20,363
that made the city of Gallup

6232
03:50:22,081 --> 03:50:22,331
depressed particularly people

6233
03:50:22,715 --> 03:50:22,965
that live on the north side

6234
03:50:26,319 --> 03:50:26,569
up on 9th Street in Maloney

6235
03:50:28,121 --> 03:50:28,371
the people that lived there they

6236
03:50:28,788 --> 03:50:29,038
were angry

6237
03:50:32,392 --> 03:50:32,642
and then of course they

6238
03:50:34,594 --> 03:50:34,844
were confused about the politics

6239
03:50:35,228 --> 03:50:35,478
of Gallup

6240
03:50:37,864 --> 03:50:38,114
who is in the leadership

6241
03:50:42,202 --> 03:50:42,452
and then of course there

6242
03:50:42,802 --> 03:50:43,052
was a lot of stress

6243
03:50:43,903 --> 03:50:44,153
so

6244
03:50:47,841 --> 03:50:48,091
from that I I gathered there was

6245
03:50:49,843 --> 03:50:50,093
a lot of jealousy among the

6246
03:50:51,845 --> 03:50:52,095
leaders. Most recently we had a

6247
03:50:53,847 --> 03:50:54,097
changeover of the mayor

6248
03:50:56,082 --> 03:50:56,332
so what you're seeing here that

6249
03:50:57,784 --> 03:50:58,034
presented this morning that

6250
03:50:58,351 --> 03:50:58,601
that's a new mayor

6251
03:51:01,988 --> 03:51:02,238
he's involved it's mainly

6252
03:51:02,589 --> 03:51:02,839
administrative

6253
03:51:06,059 --> 03:51:06,309
but I think he's kind of weak

6254
03:51:06,659 --> 03:51:06,909
on human rights, civil rights

6255
03:51:10,296 --> 03:51:10,546
so that's

6256
03:51:15,568 --> 03:51:15,818
directed to the chapters the

6257
03:51:18,071 --> 03:51:18,321
sovereignty issue consolidation

6258
03:51:25,879 --> 03:51:26,129
actct of19781988199 or 208 they

6259
03:51:28,081 --> 03:51:28,331
need to utilize that act over

6260
03:51:28,782 --> 03:51:29,032
here in uhnavajo land

6261
03:51:33,820 --> 03:51:34,070
particularly uhRock Springs,

6262
03:51:34,454 --> 03:51:34,704
Mangnito

6263
03:51:37,824 --> 03:51:38,074
ra cheatuo

6264
03:51:41,628 --> 03:51:41,878
they're gonna build some things

6265
03:51:43,663 --> 03:51:43,913
over here pretty quick and I

6266
03:51:44,330 --> 03:51:44,580
think a lot of the community is

6267
03:51:47,667 --> 03:51:47,917
not well informed on that

6268
03:51:48,201 --> 03:51:48,451
particularly chapters

6269
03:51:51,738 --> 03:51:51,988
so that I don't know why they're

6270
03:51:52,372 --> 03:51:52,622
holding back

6271
03:51:54,441 --> 03:51:54,691
so they shouldn't do that with

6272
03:51:56,142 --> 03:51:56,392
these laws that are in the state

6273
03:51:57,911 --> 03:51:58,161
of New Mexico that are

6274
03:51:58,411 --> 03:51:58,661
implemented 20 years ago

6275
03:52:03,850 --> 03:52:04,100
so along with the increase of

6276
03:52:05,885 --> 03:52:06,135
liquor what was mentioned at

6277
03:52:06,486 --> 03:52:06,736
Speedway

6278
03:52:10,056 --> 03:52:10,306
and then the the the marijuana

6279
03:52:10,723 --> 03:52:10,973
outlets

6280
03:52:14,093 --> 03:52:14,343
that causes a lot of a child

6281
03:52:14,727 --> 03:52:14,977
abandonment what I've seen

6282
03:52:18,097 --> 03:52:18,347
and then they they did

6283
03:52:18,698 --> 03:52:18,948
mention any street birth

6284
03:52:22,569 --> 03:52:22,819
or unsheltered native veterans

6285
03:52:28,141 --> 03:52:28,391
those were the data what they

6286
03:52:29,576 --> 03:52:29,826
had that's what I mean

6287
03:52:30,076 --> 03:52:30,326
misinformation of data

6288
03:52:34,147 --> 03:52:34,397
go over here to westgallllup

6289
03:52:35,815 --> 03:52:36,065
there's a lot of abandoned

6290
03:52:36,416 --> 03:52:36,666
buildings there's graffiti,

6291
03:52:38,351 --> 03:52:38,601
there's potholes our relatives

6292
03:52:40,320 --> 03:52:40,570
are living under the bridges

6293
03:52:42,055 --> 03:52:42,305
Interstate40 tent cities

6294
03:52:46,226 --> 03:52:46,476
and yet deborah Martinez

6295
03:52:46,759 --> 03:52:47,009
mentioned that

6296
03:52:48,194 --> 03:52:48,444
I think that

6297
03:52:51,931 --> 03:52:52,181
my wife and I we go out

6298
03:52:54,567 --> 03:52:54,817
the flea market under the

6299
03:52:56,336 --> 03:52:56,586
culverts yeah they're dangerous

6300
03:52:57,704 --> 03:52:57,954
people are high on fentanyl

6301
03:53:02,041 --> 03:53:02,291
but we try to talk to them we

6302
03:53:03,710 --> 03:53:03,960
try to start a a talking circle

6303
03:53:07,814 --> 03:53:08,064
we went down to the burrito

6304
03:53:10,116 --> 03:53:10,366
project outlet and we weren't

6305
03:53:11,785 --> 03:53:12,035
very welcome because we're

6306
03:53:12,318 --> 03:53:12,568
talking Navajo

6307
03:53:16,356 --> 03:53:16,606
to start talking circle talking

6308
03:53:17,056 --> 03:53:17,306
about the problems in Navajo

6309
03:53:18,191 --> 03:53:18,441
so we let it go

6310
03:53:23,763 --> 03:53:24,013
so I think my recommendation is

6311
03:53:24,430 --> 03:53:24,680
here

6312
03:53:28,067 --> 03:53:28,317
with all these problems that

6313
03:53:29,602 --> 03:53:29,852
one thing I want to mention

6314
03:53:30,303 --> 03:53:30,553
about McKinley County school

6315
03:53:33,540 --> 03:53:33,790
system I think we really need

6316
03:53:34,274 --> 03:53:34,524
to get involved with the

6317
03:53:34,841 --> 03:53:35,091
yasemartinez

6318
03:53:36,443 --> 03:53:36,693
case

6319
03:53:40,346 --> 03:53:40,596
The judge said that a couple of

6320
03:53:43,850 --> 03:53:44,100
months ago the federal funding

6321
03:53:44,517 --> 03:53:44,767
the federal impact aid

6322
03:53:48,087 --> 03:53:48,337
we need to review that a little

6323
03:53:49,556 --> 03:53:49,806
bit more work with the Navajo

6324
03:53:50,490 --> 03:53:50,740
Nation Department of Education

6325
03:53:51,591 --> 03:53:51,841
NDOJ

6326
03:53:55,595 --> 03:53:55,845
that involves it Johnson

6327
03:53:56,529 --> 03:53:56,779
O'malley funds Title 06 and7.

6328
03:54:01,835 --> 03:54:02,085
we don't want to misuse that and

6329
03:54:02,502 --> 03:54:02,752
let it sit somewhere

6330
03:54:06,039 --> 03:54:06,289
that's happening now the lawsuit

6331
03:54:06,773 --> 03:54:07,023
that might come out of that

6332
03:54:11,611 --> 03:54:11,861
so in closing I want to say that

6333
03:54:13,613 --> 03:54:13,863
to improve some of this quality

6334
03:54:16,349 --> 03:54:16,599
of life, my recommendation is

6335
03:54:18,118 --> 03:54:18,368
we need to get a grant rider

6336
03:54:18,685 --> 03:54:18,935
over there at the mayor's office

6337
03:54:20,253 --> 03:54:20,503
let's help the mayor

6338
03:54:21,754 --> 03:54:22,004
see your manager

6339
03:54:27,627 --> 03:54:27,877
and get an indigenous task force

6340
03:54:29,629 --> 03:54:29,879
in order. There's people like

6341
03:54:30,230 --> 03:54:30,480
myself that

6342
03:54:33,666 --> 03:54:33,916
I wanted to to help the city of

6343
03:54:34,300 --> 03:54:34,550
Gallup

6344
03:54:36,569 --> 03:54:36,819
I've been here for my wife and I

6345
03:54:37,237 --> 03:54:37,487
over30 years

6346
03:54:41,808 --> 03:54:42,058
and then to review some of the

6347
03:54:42,475 --> 03:54:42,725
contracts

6348
03:54:44,410 --> 03:54:44,660
I don't know who takes care of

6349
03:54:45,879 --> 03:54:46,129
the contracts over there it

6350
03:54:46,513 --> 03:54:46,763
sounds like it's just one person

6351
03:54:51,718 --> 03:54:51,968
so this is all about the

6352
03:54:54,454 --> 03:54:54,704
public health human rights civil

6353
03:54:55,121 --> 03:54:55,371
rights

6354
03:54:56,055 --> 03:54:56,305
so

6355
03:55:00,093 --> 03:55:00,343

03:55:14,941 --> 03:55:15,191
works over there

6364
03:55:18,278 --> 03:55:18,528
likewise with the surrounding

6365
03:55:19,813 --> 03:55:20,063
tribes Aama and Naguna

6366
03:55:22,315 --> 03:55:22,565

it was sign in sheet but

6376
03:56:22,108 --> 03:56:22,358

6378
03:56:27,046 --> 03:56:27,296
anyway

6379
03:56:30,350 --> 03:56:30,600
my name is maddie Foster and my

6380
03:56:32,585 --> 03:56:32,835
client is with ondo to by the

6381
03:56:34,387 --> 03:56:34,637
machine touchy nationalinando

6382
03:56:36,356 --> 03:56:36,606
shin the shi cheong a

6383
03:56:37,624 --> 03:56:37,874
a

6384
03:56:43,563 --> 03:56:43,813
I'm a lady here and my husband

6385
03:56:45,765 --> 03:56:46,015
he's said th30 years actually

6386
03:56:46,432 --> 03:56:46,682
it's50 years

6387
03:56:48,101 --> 03:56:48,351
so

6388
03:56:50,503 --> 03:56:50,753
we've beenga was a girlup we

6389
03:56:52,071 --> 03:56:52,321
live and he was a galla with our

6390
03:56:54,073 --> 03:56:54,323
children and our grandchildren

6391
03:56:56,276 --> 03:56:56,526
and they all go to school at

6392
03:56:58,311 --> 03:56:58,561
Gallup McKinney County School.

6393
03:56:58,978 --> 03:56:59,228
so

6394
03:57:04,417 --> 03:57:04,667
I guess what my complaint would

6395
03:57:05,084 --> 03:57:05,334
be

6396
03:57:10,089 --> 03:57:10,339
I lived in Galla for most of my

6397
03:57:12,192 --> 03:57:12,442
years and I see what's going on

6398
03:57:13,860 --> 03:57:14,110
and

6399
03:57:18,698 --> 03:57:18,948
it's heartbreaking as a mother

6400
03:57:22,335 --> 03:57:22,585
as a ali and and thennavajo lady

6401
03:57:26,072 --> 03:57:26,322
that you see a relatives on

6402
03:57:26,639 --> 03:57:26,889
the streets

6403
03:57:31,811 --> 03:57:32,061
they all need help

6404
03:57:34,280 --> 03:57:34,530
I seen a little girl she was

6405
03:57:37,584 --> 03:57:37,834
about 9 or10 years old on the

6406
03:57:39,786 --> 03:57:40,036
street and I thought what is she

6407
03:57:40,520 --> 03:57:40,770
doing here? Where's her parents

6408
03:57:44,257 --> 03:57:44,507
and there she went

6409
03:57:48,628 --> 03:57:48,878
following this one person older

6410
03:57:49,329 --> 03:57:49,579
man

6411
03:57:56,102 --> 03:57:56,352
and he does heartbreaking so us

6412
03:57:59,639 --> 03:57:59,889
ladies as woman native women we

6413
03:58:00,306 --> 03:58:00,556
need to do a lot of

6414
03:58:01,875 --> 03:58:02,125
work

6415
03:58:07,580 --> 03:58:07,830
like they're saying outreach my

6416
03:58:09,582 --> 03:58:09,832
husband and I are both retired

6417
03:58:11,584 --> 03:58:11,834
our work atingate High School

6418
03:58:13,586 --> 03:58:13,836
for48 years and eight months

6419
03:58:14,554 --> 03:58:14,804
with the students and

6420
03:58:19,826 --> 03:58:20,076
my husband worked at PhS forth38

6421
03:58:21,795 --> 03:58:22,045
years so we're both retired and

6422
03:58:24,330 --> 03:58:24,580
we do a lot of volunteer work

6423
03:58:27,600 --> 03:58:27,850
no right now we don't get paid

6424
03:58:29,903 --> 03:58:30,153
we just go out there who needs

6425
03:58:31,604 --> 03:58:31,854
help or maybe one of the

6426
03:58:34,407 --> 03:58:34,657
projects needs help or somebody

6427
03:58:35,074 --> 03:58:35,324
that needs food

6428
03:58:39,579 --> 03:58:39,829
so this takes most of our time

6429
03:58:40,213 --> 03:58:40,463
and whoever

6430
03:58:42,248 --> 03:58:42,498
we go

6431
03:58:48,455 --> 03:58:48,705
we just offer our help

6432
03:58:53,827 --> 03:58:54,077
on the west side too there's a

6433
03:58:54,694 --> 03:58:54,944
lot of graffiti and

6434
03:58:58,331 --> 03:58:58,581
like my husband said there's a

6435
03:59:00,233 --> 03:59:00,483
lot of buildings or boarded up

6436
03:59:04,471 --> 03:59:04,721
need to bring more business or

6437
03:59:05,071 --> 03:59:05,321
clean it up

6438
03:59:06,172 --> 03:59:06,422
and

6439
03:59:11,644 --> 03:59:11,894
even at Gallllup High School we

6440
03:59:13,680 --> 03:59:13,930
mention it to the superintendent

6441
03:59:16,382 --> 03:59:16,632
that left at the pavement

6442
03:59:16,950 --> 03:59:17,200
needs to be paved

6443
03:59:18,351 --> 03:59:18,601
and

6444
03:59:23,857 --> 03:59:24,107
the other day I think one of

6445
03:59:26,059 --> 03:59:26,309
they got excused early because

6446
03:59:28,361 --> 03:59:28,611
the air conditioner or something

6447
03:59:31,865 --> 03:59:32,115
that wasn't working so we gallup

6448
03:59:33,833 --> 03:59:34,083
high needs a new school

6449
03:59:36,436 --> 03:59:36,686
buildingallllup High School and

6450
03:59:41,608 --> 03:59:41,858
we need a lot of parents

6451
03:59:44,010 --> 03:59:44,260
involvement that's what we're

6452
03:59:44,677 --> 03:59:44,927
lacking too

6453
03:59:48,114 --> 03:59:48,364
thats we try to represent a lot

6454
03:59:50,083 --> 03:59:50,333
of native students atallllup

6455
03:59:51,785 --> 03:59:52,035
high school where they mean

6456
03:59:52,352 --> 03:59:52,602
being mistreated

6457
03:59:56,089 --> 03:59:56,339
and we go to to go to the school

6458
03:59:58,057 --> 03:59:58,307
board meeting and try to voice

6459
04:00:01,561 --> 04:00:01,811
our opinion but they always call

6460
04:00:03,563 --> 04:00:03,813
the security saying there comes

6461
04:00:06,166 --> 04:00:06,416
a fosters better call the

6462
04:00:06,666 --> 04:00:06,916
security so

6463
04:00:11,571 --> 04:00:11,821
ashley we're trying to help help

6464
04:00:14,040 --> 04:00:14,290
the students or represent them

6465
04:00:17,577 --> 04:00:17,827
and also the JOM money too is to

6466
04:00:21,581 --> 04:00:21,831
sit in atonderrock and where we

6467
04:00:24,350 --> 04:00:24,600
used to sponsored nativist

6468
04:00:26,586 --> 04:00:26,836
culture at Gallllup High

6469
04:00:27,187 --> 04:00:27,437
School

6470
04:00:29,989 --> 04:00:30,239
and at tourpin

6471
04:00:32,559 --> 04:00:32,809
that that's not happening

6472
04:00:38,064 --> 04:00:38,314
so when you are jail and money

6473
04:00:41,734 --> 04:00:41,984
back to the school and we talked

6474
04:00:42,368 --> 04:00:42,618
with Bo Nagrin

6475
04:00:42,769 --> 04:00:43,019
that

6476
04:00:47,841 --> 04:00:48,091
this is how our native students

6477
04:00:50,076 --> 04:00:50,326
are getting treated amongcinney

6478
04:00:51,611 --> 04:00:51,861
County School. he was going to

6479
04:00:54,314 --> 04:00:54,564
set up our office here and all

6480
04:00:57,851 --> 04:00:58,101
our native unsheltered

6481
04:01:00,120 --> 04:01:00,370
relatives to on the streets I'll

6482
04:01:00,820 --> 04:01:01,070
work with them it never happened

6483
04:01:04,357 --> 04:01:04,607
so when he was campaigning again

6484
04:01:06,326 --> 04:01:06,576
at the flea market approached

6485
04:01:10,330 --> 04:01:10,580
him. where's the office for you

6486
04:01:11,998 --> 04:01:12,248
promised us when you were

6487
04:01:14,067 --> 04:01:14,317
campaigning I'll work on it. No

6488
04:01:14,701 --> 04:01:14,951
your term is over

6489
04:01:20,073 --> 04:01:20,323
so we approached the new

6490
04:01:22,275 --> 04:01:22,525
administration Justin Jones and

6491
04:01:24,043 --> 04:01:24,293
he said he's gonna work on it

6492
04:01:27,814 --> 04:01:28,064
with the gallupmcckinley County

6493
04:01:28,515 --> 04:01:28,765
School

6494
04:01:30,216 --> 04:01:30,466
why our natives are getting

6495
04:01:30,750 --> 04:01:31,000
discriminated

6496
04:01:32,318 --> 04:01:32,568
and

6497
04:01:37,590 --> 04:01:37,840
with the native unsheltered

6498
04:01:40,093 --> 04:01:40,343
relatives too we need we need

6499
04:01:40,760 --> 04:01:41,010
help we told him

6500
04:01:43,630 --> 04:01:43,880
so this and his campaign

6501
04:01:47,801 --> 04:01:48,051
hopefully he pays a lot of

6502
04:01:50,303 --> 04:01:50,553
attention to what everybody is

6503
04:01:53,573 --> 04:01:53,823
asking him to do for his new

6504
04:01:56,376 --> 04:01:56,626

6607
04:05:51,544 --> 04:05:51,794
at our farm and we cannot get

6608
04:05:53,546 --> 04:05:53,796
into our farm because of because

6609
04:05:54,314 --> 04:05:54,564
of the floods and the and the

6610
04:05:56,049 --> 04:05:56,299
muddy roads and the access to

6611
04:05:57,584 --> 04:05:57,834
our farm but we were able to get

6612
04:05:59,586 --> 04:05:59,836
in because the past few days we

6613
04:06:01,554 --> 04:06:01,804
had some a little bit warmer

6614
04:06:03,590 --> 04:06:03,840
weather so we could get into the

6615
04:06:07,794 --> 04:06:08,044

as a part of our contribution

6730
04:09:44,110 --> 04:09:44,360
towards that and again this is

6731
04:09:44,778 --> 04:09:45,028
something that we're doing and

6732
04:09:47,814 --> 04:09:48,064
I'm just kind of going on as

6733
04:09:49,582 --> 04:09:49,832

6734
04:09:50,250 --> 04:09:50,500

want to thank them for all

6744
04:10:06,332 --> 04:10:06,582
the work they've done over the

6745
04:10:08,334 --> 04:10:08,584
many many years we just had our

6746
04:10:10,103 --> 04:10:10,353
groundbreaking in schools in

6747
04:10:11,838 --> 04:10:12,088
session now all the kids are

6748
04:10:13,606 --> 04:10:13,856
enjoying their new school now

6749
04:10:15,875 --> 04:10:16,125
and of course they cannot wait

6750
04:10:16,509 --> 04:10:16,759
for basketball season. we have a

6751
04:10:19,579 --> 04:10:19,829
new basketball gymnasium that

6752
04:10:20,313 --> 04:10:20,563
we're gonna be occupying and

6753
04:10:20,947 --> 04:10:21,197
we're gonna be cheering on

6754
04:10:23,850 --> 04:10:24,100
you know our opponents and

6755
04:10:24,417 --> 04:10:24,667
everyone else there when they

6756
04:10:26,319 --> 04:10:26,569
come to Johatchi, home of the

6757
04:10:28,087 --> 04:10:28,337
cougars and we're gonna be

04:10:29,823 --> 04:10:30,073

04:10:31,825 --> 04:10:32,075
got spirit how about you? you

6760
04:10:33,793 --> 04:10:34,043
know that's gonna happen right

6761
04:10:36,296 --> 04:10:36,546
on so again we appreciate that

6762
04:10:38,064 --> 04:10:38,314
other things that are going

6763
04:10:40,133 --> 04:10:40,383
on that's sad to say again

6764
04:10:42,101 --> 04:10:42,351
ourtahaji seniorenter has been

6765
04:10:44,103 --> 04:10:44,353
closed for the last couple of

6766
04:10:46,072 --> 04:10:46,322
weeks or so3 weeks because of

6767
04:10:48,308 --> 04:10:48,558
our hy their hibc system their

6768
04:10:50,009 --> 04:10:50,259
highback system has is not

6769
04:10:50,577 --> 04:10:50,827
functioning and it's not just to

6770
04:10:53,847 --> 04:10:54,097
haji it's a majority of naval

6771
04:10:55,615 --> 04:10:55,865
nation where we're having that

6772
04:10:56,649 --> 04:10:56,899
issue the expending the

6773
04:10:58,118 --> 04:10:58,368
expanding the expenditure

6774
04:10:59,819 --> 04:11:00,069
process of getting these money

6775
04:11:01,554 --> 04:11:01,804
spent is a problem with our

6776
04:11:03,590 --> 04:11:03,840
navajo nation and that's been a

6777
04:11:05,825 --> 04:11:06,075
long long ongoing process so the

6778
04:11:07,827 --> 04:11:08,077
senior senator is dealing with

6779
04:11:08,595 --> 04:11:08,845
that we as officials are

6780
04:11:10,363 --> 04:11:10,613
supporting them they under they

6781
04:11:12,132 --> 04:11:12,382
are under doltech with Navo

6782
04:11:14,134 --> 04:11:14,384
Nation so we are supporting

6783
04:11:16,136 --> 04:11:16,386
their effort to get this done. I

6784
04:11:17,804 --> 04:11:18,054
just found out a week ago that

6785
04:11:19,839 --> 04:11:20,089
is the high ec system works at

6786
04:11:20,507 --> 04:11:20,757
the senior center it's just some

6787
04:11:21,207 --> 04:11:21,457
d

6788
04:11:23,576 --> 04:11:23,826
uck wood I need some upgrades

6789
04:11:25,612 --> 04:11:25,862
that's why there's no there's no

6790
04:11:27,647 --> 04:11:27,897
functioning air flow through the

6791
04:11:28,381 --> 04:11:28,631
through the building itself so

6792
04:11:30,083 --> 04:11:30,333
we're working again with

6793
04:11:31,584 --> 04:11:31,834
something there so we need

6794
04:11:32,218 --> 04:11:32,468
something to do with that

6795
04:11:34,053 --> 04:11:34,303
system. these systems and these

6796
04:11:36,089 --> 04:11:36,339
senior center centers have been

6797
04:11:38,525 --> 04:11:38,775
outdated for so many years so

6798
04:11:40,326 --> 04:11:40,576
if you have senior centers in on

6799
04:11:43,630 --> 04:11:43,880
on in your area as legislators

6800
04:11:44,297 --> 04:11:44,547
you need to look more closely at

6801
04:11:46,099 --> 04:11:46,349
what's going on with their

6802
04:11:48,034 --> 04:11:48,284
facility it's a bad situation

6803
04:11:49,836 --> 04:11:50,086
because they're very full

6804
04:11:50,336 --> 04:11:50,586
they're much outdated

6805
04:11:50,804 --> 04:11:51,054
infrastructure

6806
04:11:53,840 --> 04:11:54,090
so anyway that's something that

6807
04:11:55,809 --> 04:11:56,059
we're dealing with now and

6808
04:11:56,609 --> 04:11:56,859
and we're we're soon to have

6809
04:11:59,612 --> 04:11:59,862
that open and guarantee that so

6810
04:12:01,581 --> 04:12:01,831
the other the other commanding

6811
04:12:02,382 --> 04:12:02,632
commanding information or

6812
04:12:03,850 --> 04:12:04,100
comment I want to make is the

6813
04:12:07,587 --> 04:12:07,837
MexicodlT thank you for your new

6814
04:12:08,354 --> 04:12:08,604
paving that you're doing now

6815
04:12:09,589 --> 04:12:09,839
through our community of

6816
04:12:11,591 --> 04:12:11,841
Tehatchie M marker16 through

6817
04:12:14,360 --> 04:12:14,610
mile marker 25 we lobbied for

6818
04:12:16,095 --> 04:12:16,345
that advocated for that here

6819
04:12:19,599 --> 04:12:19,849
about a month ago or so with DOT

6820
04:12:20,266 --> 04:12:20,516
we asked Trujillo and we

6821
04:12:20,834 --> 04:12:21,084
asked Lis

6822
04:12:23,870 --> 04:12:24,120
a Vega why are you guys not

6823
04:12:25,572 --> 04:12:25,822
still why you guys are notpa

6824
04:12:26,539 --> 04:12:26,789
that north lane, the double

6825
04:12:28,308 --> 04:12:28,558
lanes and a couple weeks three

6826
04:12:30,310 --> 04:12:30,560
weeks later they got on it. so

6827
04:12:31,811 --> 04:12:32,061
thank you for those guys there

6828
04:12:34,080 --> 04:12:34,330
was money for it thanks to

6829
04:12:35,815 --> 04:12:36,065
our other local leadership that

6830
04:12:37,817 --> 04:12:38,067
followed us through that we

6831
04:12:39,886 --> 04:12:40,136
did meet withrujillo in Santa Fe

6832
04:12:41,888 --> 04:12:42,138
and on teleconference call and

6833
04:12:43,623 --> 04:12:43,873
we we got a blessing after that

6834
04:12:44,357 --> 04:12:44,607
and thank you for that we really

6835
04:12:47,594 --> 04:12:47,844
need that highway repaved and

6836
04:12:48,261 --> 04:12:48,511
it's happening now so that

6837
04:12:49,562 --> 04:12:49,812
should be completed I think

6838
04:12:50,296 --> 04:12:50,546
probably the end of this week or

6839
04:12:50,964 --> 04:12:51,214
within the next several

6840
04:12:54,067 --> 04:12:54,317
days. Again there's so much

6841
04:12:55,835 --> 04:12:56,085
blessed thank you for that we

6842
04:12:58,138 --> 04:12:58,388
have now again I hope the

6843
04:13:00,106 --> 04:13:00,356
speeders don't speed too much

6844
04:13:01,608 --> 04:13:01,858
more but we don't we don't want

6845
04:13:02,308 --> 04:13:02,558
that you know we'd like to

6846
04:13:05,612 --> 04:13:05,862
control that so that may be

6847
04:13:06,312 --> 04:13:06,562
another issue. Again there's

6848
04:13:07,814 --> 04:13:08,064
another part that I want to

6849
04:13:09,883 --> 04:13:10,133
mention that wement as a chapter

6850
04:13:12,085 --> 04:13:12,335
advocating with other leadership

6851
04:13:13,887 --> 04:13:14,137
before was the Edward O Plumber

6852
04:13:18,124 --> 04:13:18,374
interchange 264 and highway491.

6853
04:13:20,293 --> 04:13:20,543
We need those lights back on. We

6854
04:13:20,960 --> 04:13:21,210
need those lights back on. We

6855
04:13:24,063 --> 04:13:24,313
' ve complained about that. why

6856
04:13:25,799 --> 04:13:26,049
they have not get to that we've

6857
04:13:26,499 --> 04:13:26,749
talked to the county manager

6858
04:13:28,334 --> 04:13:28,584
about this they've been

6859
04:13:29,803 --> 04:13:30,053
pointing fingers at each other

6860
04:13:32,105 --> 04:13:32,355
in the Mexico DlT counties

6861
04:13:35,575 --> 04:13:35,825
responsible and so forth so

6862
04:13:37,577 --> 04:13:37,827
that's a very big danger zone

6863
04:13:39,646 --> 04:13:39,896
guarantee you that because I go

6864
04:13:40,313 --> 04:13:40,563
through that day and night and

6865
04:13:42,048 --> 04:13:42,298
it's a problem so we need to get

6866
04:13:45,585 --> 04:13:45,835
that fixed leadership so

6867
04:13:47,587 --> 04:13:47,837
with that I have don't I

6868
04:13:49,556 --> 04:13:49,806
don't have any other much more

6869
04:13:50,290 --> 04:13:50,540
else to say but last but not

6870
04:13:50,890 --> 04:13:51,140
least

6871
04:13:54,127 --> 04:13:54,377
our school beacon flashing

6872
04:13:56,296 --> 04:13:56,546
lights in Tohachi at our main

6873
04:13:58,131 --> 04:13:58,381
school exit to our high school

6874
04:14:00,099 --> 04:14:00,349
in our elementary school we need

6875
04:14:02,068 --> 04:14:02,318
those bea and flash of lights

6876
04:14:04,370 --> 04:14:04,620
install we've complained to the

6877
04:14:06,306 --> 04:14:06,556
county for the past year or so

6878
04:14:08,575 --> 04:14:08,825
it has not been done. Anthony

need your help. The school is

6882
04:14:18,084 --> 04:14:18,334
not responsible for it. they

6883
04:14:20,120 --> 04:14:20,370
pointed to the county they

6884
04:14:20,653 --> 04:14:20,903
pointed to MexicodlT

6885
04:14:23,823 --> 04:14:24,073
everyone just does not want

6886
04:14:25,558 --> 04:14:25,808

6887
04:14:27,861 --> 04:14:28,111

04:15:12,071 --> 04:15:12,321
our street signs they're done

6912
04:15:13,606 --> 04:15:13,856
they're ready to go we just

6913
04:15:14,407 --> 04:15:14,657
need to we just needed to get

6914
04:15:16,109 --> 04:15:16,359
some cooler weather and that's

6915
04:15:17,877 --> 04:15:18,127
happened but we're getting rain

6916
04:15:19,879 --> 04:15:20,129
so we can't get out there to do

6917
04:15:20,547 --> 04:15:20,797
that right now but we will move

6918
04:15:21,247 --> 04:15:21,497
forward on that so

with committee members

6934
04:15:56,382 --> 04:15:56,632
And I did see chance came in

6935
04:15:56,983 --> 04:15:57,233
hello come on that

6936

and you have someone with you or

6937
04:16:00,887 --> 04:16:01,137
is it just you?

6938
04:16:03,857 --> 04:16:04,107
they can join you just as long

6939
04:16:05,825 --> 04:16:06,075
as they introduce themselves.

6940
04:16:07,594 --> 04:16:07,844
Oh neararley

6941
04:16:10,330 --> 04:16:10,580
excellent we feel I wonder if

6942
04:16:11,564 --> 04:16:11,814
he's nervous sit up

6943
04:16:18,338 --> 04:16:18,588
So is he overseeing you are you

6944
04:16:22,075 --> 04:16:22,325
overseeing him? I'm just kidding

6945
04:16:25,612 --> 04:16:25,862
do we have an extra

6946
04:16:32,552 --> 04:16:32,802
don't have don't have anything

6947
04:16:37,590 --> 04:16:37,840
don't have any anything I'll

6948
04:16:38,224 --> 04:16:38,474
check my email but I didn't this

6949
04:16:38,892 --> 04:16:39,142
morning

6950
04:16:53,706 --> 04:16:53,956
we were at a different location

6951
04:16:54,374 --> 04:16:54,624
and this was one of our

6952
04:16:58,278 --> 04:16:58,528
I think they're gonna so we'll

6953
04:17:00,213 --> 04:17:00,463
take a five minute break here

6954
04:17:01,881 --> 04:17:02,131
before we convene no it's ok

6955
04:17:04,651 --> 04:17:04,901
if it helps you move through the

6956
04:17:05,919 --> 04:17:06,169
rep representation that'll help

6957
04:17:06,619 --> 04:17:06,869
us

6958
04:17:09,589 --> 04:17:09,839
so we don't have so many

6959
04:17:10,156 --> 04:17:10,406
questions if we can read

6960
04:17:20,433 --> 04:17:20,683
or if he can just get a laptop

6961
04:17:21,067 --> 04:17:21,317
to him

6962
04:17:23,803 --> 04:17:24,053
Nnicole if he can just get a

6963
04:17:25,772 --> 04:17:26,022
laptop oh he has his laptop you

6964
04:17:26,406 --> 04:17:26,656
can't read off your

6965
04:17:27,874 --> 04:17:28,124
yeah

6966
04:17:31,978 --> 04:17:32,228
ok give them the internet it's

6967
04:17:33,646 --> 04:17:33,896
internet password

6968
04:24:24,424 --> 04:24:24,674
members that you may begin

6969
04:24:33,700 --> 04:24:33,950
Testing madam chair and members

6970
04:24:34,367 --> 04:24:34,617
of the committee we just thank

6971
04:24:36,369 --> 04:24:36,619
you for inviting us up here to

6972
04:24:39,606 --> 04:24:39,856
talk with you guys about modular

6973
04:24:41,941 --> 04:24:42,191
housing. I'm Chance Mitchell. my

6974
04:24:43,676 --> 04:24:43,926
dad here is Jim Mitchell and

6975
04:24:44,344 --> 04:24:44,594
over the last three or four

6976
04:24:48,148 --> 04:24:48,398
years we've spent our lives

6977
04:24:51,951 --> 04:24:52,201
sort of renovating a420,000

6978
04:24:53,887 --> 04:24:54,137
square foot bus plant that we've

6979
04:24:55,588 --> 04:24:55,838
now converted into a modular

6980
04:24:57,624 --> 04:24:57,874
homeme factory providing

6981
04:24:58,324 --> 04:24:58,574
homes for areas all across

6982
04:24:58,892 --> 04:24:59,142
the state and

6983
04:25:02,362 --> 04:25:02,612
so my my goal the reason that we

6984
04:25:06,032 --> 04:25:06,282
came up here is I I would just

6985
04:25:08,368 --> 04:25:08,618
like to communicate what a good

6986
04:25:09,836 --> 04:25:10,086
and what a permanent solution

6987
04:25:12,305 --> 04:25:12,555
that modular housing can be for

6988
04:25:13,706 --> 04:25:13,956
rural and tribal communities.

6989
04:25:19,646 --> 04:25:19,896
So little presentation overview

6990
04:25:21,648 --> 04:25:21,898
so originally we'd have a set

6991
04:25:23,583 --> 04:25:23,833
video just a video of us

6992
04:25:24,317 --> 04:25:24,567
actually setting the homes but

6993
04:25:26,719 --> 04:25:26,969
I think I'm having some

6994
04:25:28,988 --> 04:25:29,238
technical difficulties so we'll

6995
04:25:30,123 --> 04:25:30,373
we'll have to do without that

6996
04:25:32,459 --> 04:25:32,709
but I'm going to talk about

6997
04:25:35,662 --> 04:25:35,912
modular housing from a general

6998
04:25:37,664 --> 04:25:37,914
point of view. First, what are

6999
04:25:39,933 --> 04:25:40,183
the benefits? what is it and

7000
04:25:40,700 --> 04:25:40,950
after that I'm going to talk

7001
04:25:42,402 --> 04:25:42,652
about fortified our company and

7002
04:25:44,437 --> 04:25:44,687
sort of how we stand out how we

7003
04:25:45,638 --> 04:25:45,888
can just help

7004
04:25:47,907 --> 04:25:48,157
communities around New Mexico.

7005
04:25:50,410 --> 04:25:50,660
that video

7006
04:25:54,114 --> 04:25:54,364
I did include this picture

7007
04:25:56,449 --> 04:25:56,699
though so this is a project

7008
04:25:56,983 --> 04:25:57,233
that we have

7009
04:26:01,621 --> 04:26:01,871
just completed in Redriver

7010
04:26:03,857 --> 04:26:04,107
this summer. it from the time we

7011
04:26:04,591 --> 04:26:04,841
went under contract with the

7012
04:26:06,159 --> 04:26:06,409
town of Red River to the time we

7013
04:26:07,894 --> 04:26:08,144
actually got the homes on the

7014
04:26:10,096 --> 04:26:10,346
ground was 2 months so and I

7015
04:26:11,631 --> 04:26:11,881
think that's pretty unheard of

7016
04:26:13,633 --> 04:26:13,883
when you're working with

7017
04:26:14,400 --> 04:26:14,650
local governments and whatnot

7018
04:26:16,636 --> 04:26:16,886
but I think it is a testament

7019
04:26:20,406 --> 04:26:20,656
to the the speed of our building

7020
04:26:23,643 --> 04:26:23,893
processes so yes the the

7021
04:26:24,410 --> 04:26:24,660
community up there is using

7022
04:26:26,246 --> 04:26:26,496
these town homemes for workforce

7023
04:26:26,946 --> 04:26:27,196
housing

7024
04:26:29,749 --> 04:26:29,999
why modular

7025
04:26:31,618 --> 04:26:31,868
so

7026
04:26:33,887 --> 04:26:34,137
let's just talk about the

7027
04:26:36,356 --> 04:26:36,606
quality of modular first so we

7028
04:26:38,358 --> 04:26:38,608
build everything in an enclosed

7029
04:26:41,594 --> 04:26:41,844
environment that in itself we

7030
04:26:42,395 --> 04:26:42,645
have a roof over our heads while

7031
04:26:44,397 --> 04:26:44,647
while we build our homes so we

7032
04:26:46,166 --> 04:26:46,416
are not dealing with weather

7033
04:26:48,368 --> 04:26:48,618
delays or weather damage to our

7034
04:26:51,638 --> 04:26:51,888
materials we're not dealing with

7035
04:26:54,073 --> 04:26:54,323
any theft or any of the

7036
04:26:56,376 --> 04:26:56,626
issues that would come with just

7037
04:26:58,111 --> 04:26:58,361
the elements. I mean if you

7038
04:26:59,979 --> 04:27:00,229
think that you can get your cut

7039
04:27:00,647 --> 04:27:00,897
your angle as pre

7040
04:27:02,449 --> 04:27:02,699
ci se as I can when I'm cutting

7041
04:27:04,117 --> 04:27:04,367
in a building and you're out

7042
04:27:05,618 --> 04:27:05,868
there in the rain and the mud

7043
04:27:06,319 --> 04:27:06,569
and the wind. I'll take you up

7044
04:27:08,321 --> 04:27:08,571
on that challenge all day long.

7045
04:27:11,624 --> 04:27:11,874
streamlined processes we we

7046
04:27:12,659 --> 04:27:12,909
build everything ination we have

7047
04:27:14,127 --> 04:27:14,377
our materials right there we're

7048
04:27:15,895 --> 04:27:16,145
not running to Home Depot 20

7049
04:27:18,164 --> 04:27:18,414
times a day like a normal site

7050
04:27:18,798 --> 04:27:19,048
builder would

7051
04:27:22,469 --> 04:27:22,719
and we're able to build a lot

7052
04:27:23,903 --> 04:27:24,153
faster because of our

7053
04:27:25,872 --> 04:27:26,122
streamlined processes and a lot

7054
04:27:28,174 --> 04:27:28,424
better our people do the same

7055
04:27:29,876 --> 04:27:30,126
thing every day in the same

7056
04:27:31,845 --> 04:27:32,095
place. The the quality becomes

7057
04:27:32,512 --> 04:27:32,762
very good

7058
04:27:36,149 --> 04:27:36,399
engineered for durability. so

7059
04:27:37,884 --> 04:27:38,134
one of the differences between

7060
04:27:40,386 --> 04:27:40,636
modular and like a manufactured

7061
04:27:43,890 --> 04:27:44,140
or a mobile home is we build to

7062
04:27:45,592 --> 04:27:45,842
the IRc the International

7063
04:27:47,660 --> 04:27:47,910
residential code it's the same

7064
04:27:48,428 --> 04:27:48,678
code that a regular site builder

7065
04:27:49,762 --> 04:27:50,012
would build to

7066
04:27:53,900 --> 04:27:54,150
whereas a mobile manufactured

7067
04:27:55,635 --> 04:27:55,885
home they build to theU code

7068
04:27:58,404 --> 04:27:58,654
which think section 8 housing

7069
04:28:01,875 --> 04:28:02,125
it's a code created for just

7070
04:28:03,843 --> 04:28:04,093
purely affordable you know this

7071
04:28:05,645 --> 04:28:05,895
is these are homes that have a

7072
04:28:06,713 --> 04:28:06,963
shelf life they deteriorate

7073
04:28:08,148 --> 04:28:08,398
eventually you're gonna have to

7074
04:28:09,649 --> 04:28:09,899
replace it. there's a place for

7075
04:28:10,483 --> 04:28:10,733
it in the market but it's not a

7076
04:28:11,151 --> 04:28:11,401
permanent solution

7077
04:28:15,889 --> 04:28:16,139
these are engineered at

7078
04:28:16,389 --> 04:28:16,639
the same code that a site

7079
04:28:18,358 --> 04:28:18,608
builder would use except we

7080
04:28:20,160 --> 04:28:20,410
actually overengineer them

7081
04:28:20,693 --> 04:28:20,943
because we do put them on a

7082
04:28:22,128 --> 04:28:22,378
truck, lift them up with a crane

7083
04:28:24,097 --> 04:28:24,347
and so they they are very very

7084
04:28:24,764 --> 04:28:25,014
sturdy homes

7085
04:28:29,869 --> 04:28:30,119
faster build timeline I sort

7086
04:28:30,470 --> 04:28:30,720
of talked about that with the

7087
04:28:34,274 --> 04:28:34,524
streamlined processes I guess

7088
04:28:34,941 --> 04:28:35,191
but

7089
04:28:39,846 --> 04:28:40,096
right now in our factory we

7090
04:28:41,614 --> 04:28:41,864
complete a home in 22 business

7091
04:28:44,117 --> 04:28:44,367
days so very quick build

7092
04:28:46,119 --> 04:28:46,369
timeline in the factory during

7093
04:28:47,854 --> 04:28:48,104
those 22 business days we're out

7094
04:28:48,621 --> 04:28:48,871
there on site doing the

7095
04:28:51,658 --> 04:28:51,908
foundation and so the

7096
04:28:52,459 --> 04:28:52,709
foundation's ready when the home

7097
04:28:54,194 --> 04:28:54,444
comes out. you got about four

7098
04:28:55,862 --> 04:28:56,112
weeks of stitch up after the

7099
04:28:57,630 --> 04:28:57,880
home actually comes out gets set

7100
04:28:59,632 --> 04:28:59,882
on the foundation and so you're

7101
04:29:01,868 --> 04:29:02,118
looking at a two month to three

7102
04:29:03,570 --> 04:29:03,820
months at the most build

7103
04:29:04,370 --> 04:29:04,620
timeline when you

7104
04:29:06,806 --> 04:29:07,056
go with one of

7105
04:29:09,843 --> 04:29:10,093
a standard typical home that we

7106
04:29:11,845 --> 04:29:12,095
built and you know compared to a

7107
04:29:13,880 --> 04:29:14,130
site built you're you're looking

7108
04:29:15,849 --> 04:29:16,099
at six months at the minimum,

7109
04:29:16,483 --> 04:29:16,733
especially in one of these rural

7110
04:29:17,817 --> 04:29:18,067
communities. I mean you're

7111
04:29:18,518 --> 04:29:18,768
probably looking at closer to a

7112
04:29:19,219 --> 04:29:19,469
year or more than a year

7113
04:29:22,122 --> 04:29:22,372
so

7114
04:29:26,426 --> 04:29:26,676
we we save a lot of time and we

7115
04:29:28,394 --> 04:29:28,644
also save people a lot of money

7116
04:29:29,095 --> 04:29:29,345
so

7117
04:29:32,132 --> 04:29:32,382
affordability I just did this

7118
04:29:35,702 --> 04:29:35,952
little mockup estimate if we

7119
04:29:36,369 --> 04:29:36,619
were just going to go

7120
04:29:39,639 --> 04:29:39,889
to Ta and build a home. really

7121
04:29:40,340 --> 04:29:40,590
we could do this in any rural

7122
04:29:42,108 --> 04:29:42,358
community. I chose Taos because

7123
04:29:43,843 --> 04:29:44,093
it's people can't build there

7124
04:29:45,879 --> 04:29:46,129
for less than400 a foot right

7125
04:29:47,947 --> 04:29:48,197
now it's the housing market has

7126
04:29:50,150 --> 04:29:50,400
just gotten crazy. minus the

7127
04:29:52,118 --> 04:29:52,368
land this would be our cost if

7128
04:29:54,120 --> 04:29:54,370
we were to go up there and build

7129
04:29:56,389 --> 04:29:56,639
a home between the foundation

7130
04:29:57,824 --> 04:29:58,074
of everything to get the home

7131
04:29:59,826 --> 04:30:00,076
actually turnkey we're looking

7132
04:30:02,128 --> 04:30:02,378
at160 bucks a foot to build it

7133
04:30:04,364 --> 04:30:04,614
whereas yeah intas site builders

7134
04:30:05,865 --> 04:30:06,115
can't build a home for less

7135
04:30:06,432 --> 04:30:06,682
than400 buck

7136
04:30:08,101 --> 04:30:08,351
a foot frankly so

7137
04:30:11,838 --> 04:30:12,088
when I say this is a a good

7138
04:30:12,472 --> 04:30:12,722
solution for our rural

7139
04:30:13,540 --> 04:30:13,790
communities. I I really do mean

7140
04:30:14,240 --> 04:30:14,490
it.

7141
04:30:18,178 --> 04:30:18,428
greener

7142
04:30:22,148 --> 04:30:22,398
I I know that we are facing so

7143
04:30:27,887 --> 04:30:28,137
many issues and topics around

7144
04:30:29,622 --> 04:30:29,872
just the issue of waste so

7145
04:30:30,390 --> 04:30:30,640
modular with our streamlined

7146
04:30:32,325 --> 04:30:32,575
processes with our lack of

7147
04:30:35,829 --> 04:30:36,079
weather damage theft, you name

7148
04:30:39,599 --> 04:30:39,849
it. we use about30% of the waste

7149
04:30:40,400 --> 04:30:40,650
that a site builder would use

7150
04:30:41,034 --> 04:30:41,284
for building a home so think

7151
04:30:44,204 --> 04:30:44,454
we would use like a55 gallon

7152
04:30:48,141 --> 04:30:48,391
dumpster loaded up per home

7153
04:30:49,576 --> 04:30:49,826
whereas a site builder would

7154
04:30:51,878 --> 04:30:52,128
probably use two semi trucks

7155
04:30:55,548 --> 04:30:55,798
of waste so it's a very green

7156
04:31:02,004 --> 04:31:02,254
y fortify it so now we'll talk

7157
04:31:03,623 --> 04:31:03,873
about fortified structures our

7158
04:31:04,324 --> 04:31:04,574
actual company what sets us

7159
04:31:05,925 --> 04:31:06,175
apart and how we can help

7160
04:31:09,829 --> 04:31:10,079
so we are very vertical

7161
04:31:12,098 --> 04:31:12,348
vertically integrated we

7162
04:31:13,833 --> 04:31:14,083
originally started as a civil

7163
04:31:15,869 --> 04:31:16,119
construction company. my

7164
04:31:18,138 --> 04:31:18,388
parents started JNhervices about

7165
04:31:21,574 --> 04:31:21,824
30 years ago and have run it in

7166
04:31:22,375 --> 04:31:22,625
southeast New Mexico building

7167
04:31:26,112 --> 04:31:26,362
bridges highways since then

7168
04:31:28,081 --> 04:31:28,331
have acquired an asphalt plant a

7169
04:31:30,116 --> 04:31:30,366
concrete plant and so when

7170
04:31:32,385 --> 04:31:32,635
somebody hires us we don't just

7171
04:31:34,154 --> 04:31:34,404
build the houses we actually do

7172
04:31:35,855 --> 04:31:36,105
the civil engineering we do the

7173
04:31:36,556 --> 04:31:36,806
dirt work and everything

7174
04:31:38,358 --> 04:31:38,608
because we see a lot of these

7175
04:31:40,126 --> 04:31:40,376
municipalities when they get

7176
04:31:42,128 --> 04:31:42,378
funding from the state the first

7177
04:31:43,630 --> 04:31:43,880
place they'll go is they'll hire

7178
04:31:45,832 --> 04:31:46,082
a super expensive engineer spent

7179
04:31:46,566 --> 04:31:46,816
half the project money on an

7180
04:31:47,867 --> 04:31:48,117
engineer that engineers the

7181
04:31:49,869 --> 04:31:50,119
project to be way more expensive

7182
04:31:51,604 --> 04:31:51,854
than anything they can afford

7183
04:31:52,338 --> 04:31:52,588
and then the project doesn't get

7184
04:31:54,340 --> 04:31:54,590
done and so when you're able to

7185
04:31:57,577 --> 04:31:57,827
keep this whole project in house

7186
04:31:59,679 --> 04:31:59,929
you know we're able to

7187
04:32:01,881 --> 04:32:02,131
understand the customers values

7188
04:32:03,850 --> 04:32:04,100
the end goals and from start to

7189
04:32:05,785 --> 04:32:06,035
finish we're able to stay on the

7190
04:32:06,453 --> 04:32:06,703
same page with everybody

7191
04:32:09,823 --> 04:32:10,073
because we're we handle the

7192
04:32:12,058 --> 04:32:12,308
whole process so yeah we from

7193
04:32:14,327 --> 04:32:14,577
the civil engineering to the

7194
04:32:17,597 --> 04:32:17,847
actual homes being turnkey

7195
04:32:18,198 --> 04:32:18,448
ready. we handle that

7196
04:32:21,601 --> 04:32:21,851
we don't

7197
04:32:23,803 --> 04:32:24,053
let me just say we don't have to

7198
04:32:26,372 --> 04:32:26,622
handle that if a municipality or

7199
04:32:28,374 --> 04:32:28,624
somebody was to say hey we have

7200
04:32:30,076 --> 04:32:30,326
these lots already developed you

7201
04:32:30,777 --> 04:32:31,027
know that's not something that

7202
04:32:33,613 --> 04:32:33,863
we have to do but we we have

7203
04:32:34,180 --> 04:32:34,430
capacity to take care of the

7204
04:32:34,848 --> 04:32:35,098
whole thing

7205
04:32:40,086 --> 04:32:40,336
unique business structure so

7206
04:32:42,122 --> 04:32:42,372
because all the factory because

7207
04:32:43,823 --> 04:32:44,073
the factory does all the heavy

7208
04:32:44,557 --> 04:32:44,807
lifting by building the homes in

7209
04:32:45,225 --> 04:32:45,475
the

7210
04:32:50,396 --> 04:32:50,646
plant we are able to qualify a

7211
04:32:52,098 --> 04:32:52,348
lot of contractors in local

7212
04:32:54,067 --> 04:32:54,317
areas that we're building that

7213
04:32:57,604 --> 04:32:57,854
maybe wouldn't be able to handle

7214
04:32:59,572 --> 04:32:59,822
all the capacity if they were

7215
04:33:01,574 --> 04:33:01,824
just to build100% of the homes.

7216
04:33:04,110 --> 04:33:04,360
so when we go to a different

7217
04:33:06,079 --> 04:33:06,329
community our goal is to utilize

7218
04:33:06,746 --> 04:33:06,996
the local

7219
04:33:10,316 --> 04:33:10,566
workforce boost the economy,

7220
04:33:12,252 --> 04:33:12,502
buy the new homes and also buy

7221
04:33:16,322 --> 04:33:16,572
the labor because yeah the the

7222
04:33:18,124 --> 04:33:18,374
amount of work that gets done on

7223
04:33:19,659 --> 04:33:19,909
site is relatively easy.

7224
04:33:20,360 --> 04:33:20,610
so

7225
04:33:24,430 --> 04:33:24,680
there you go and yeah we're

7226
04:33:24,964 --> 04:33:25,214
we're

7227
04:33:28,368 --> 04:33:28,618
constantly scaling across the

7228
04:33:30,069 --> 04:33:30,319
southwest by we have

7229
04:33:33,640 --> 04:33:33,890
customers who are buying

7230
04:33:36,075 --> 04:33:36,325
licenses to their areas I

7231
04:33:37,877 --> 04:33:38,127
guess and they're just buying

7232
04:33:38,478 --> 04:33:38,728
our home straight out of the

7233
04:33:42,148 --> 04:33:42,398
factory and putting their homes

7234
04:33:42,849 --> 04:33:43,099
in their local areas and

7235
04:33:45,852 --> 04:33:46,102
that's sort of how we've been

7236
04:33:47,854 --> 04:33:48,104
scaling and serving communities

7237
04:33:48,555 --> 04:33:48,805
far fromRoswell.

7238
04:33:49,889 --> 04:33:50,139
so

7239
04:33:54,093 --> 04:33:54,343
here's a bit of our current

7240
04:33:56,362 --> 04:33:56,612
speed incompa capacity right now

7241
04:33:59,632 --> 04:33:59,882
so our current production is two

7242
04:34:00,266 --> 04:34:00,516
modules a day

7243
04:34:02,602 --> 04:34:02,852
we we work in terms of modules

7244
04:34:04,103 --> 04:34:04,353
because a home can be one

7245
04:34:05,839 --> 04:34:06,089
module, a home could be10

7246
04:34:06,372 --> 04:34:06,622
modules it really just depends

7247
04:34:08,341 --> 04:34:08,591
on the home. So think the

7248
04:34:10,343 --> 04:34:10,593
average home is about 2 modules

7249
04:34:12,378 --> 04:34:12,628
so we're building a house a day

7250
04:34:14,080 --> 04:34:14,330
right now out of the factory.

7251
04:34:16,116 --> 04:34:16,366
Our goal by the end of 227 is to

7252
04:34:19,619 --> 04:34:19,869
double that and then once we

7253
04:34:20,353 --> 04:34:20,603
double that we'll open up our

7254
04:34:22,122 --> 04:34:22,372
second production line through

7255
04:34:23,823 --> 04:34:24,073
the plant because really only

7256
04:34:26,359 --> 04:34:26,609
using30 or40% of it right now

7257
04:34:27,627 --> 04:34:27,877
the actual square footage in our

7258
04:34:28,294 --> 04:34:28,544
factory

7259
04:34:33,600 --> 04:34:33,850
so that that's a little bit

7260
04:34:34,334 --> 04:34:34,584
about us. I look forward to any

7261
04:34:37,570 --> 04:34:37,820
questions that you guys have

7262
04:34:39,806 --> 04:34:40,056
that's our director of sales

7263
04:34:41,574 --> 04:34:41,824
contact info but I also have

7264
04:34:42,275 --> 04:34:42,525
business cards that I'd love to

7265
04:34:42,976 --> 04:34:43,226
hand out with with mine as well

7266
04:34:48,181 --> 04:34:48,431
committee memberspresentative

7267
04:34:48,782 --> 04:34:49,032
Abela

7268
04:34:51,851 --> 04:34:52,101
thank you chair. thank you Mr.

7269

Mitchell for your

7270
04:34:55,588 --> 04:34:55,838
presentation and for also

7271
04:34:56,589 --> 04:34:56,839
bringing your father a quick

7272
04:34:57,624 --> 04:34:57,874
question

7273
04:35:01,828 --> 04:35:02,078
quick question well multiple

7274
04:35:02,629 --> 04:35:02,879
questions the Red river

7275
04:35:03,930 --> 04:35:04,180
structure that you showed up

7276
04:35:05,565 --> 04:35:05,815
here can you give me a little

7277
04:35:06,366 --> 04:35:06,616
bit of the details about what it

7278
04:35:07,767 --> 04:35:08,017
was and how much that costs

7279
04:35:12,372 --> 04:35:12,622
madam Chairpresentative, thank

7280
04:35:13,840 --> 04:35:14,090
you for asking that question.

7281
04:35:14,474 --> 04:35:14,724
Yes so the

7282
04:35:18,311 --> 04:35:18,561
town of Red River approached us

7283
04:35:20,113 --> 04:35:20,363
they needed workforce housing

7284
04:35:20,780 --> 04:35:21,030
they have

7285
04:35:22,482 --> 04:35:22,732
the same issue that a lot of

7286
04:35:25,585 --> 04:35:25,835
these rural, especially these

7287
04:35:26,386 --> 04:35:26,636
mountain towns have where the

7288
04:35:27,887 --> 04:35:28,137
real estate has become so

7289
04:35:28,388 --> 04:35:28,638
expensive that the people who

7290
04:35:29,656 --> 04:35:29,906
actually run the town can't live

7291
04:35:30,356 --> 04:35:30,606
there.

7292
04:35:31,925 --> 04:35:32,175
so

7293
04:35:32,592 --> 04:35:32,842
we came in

7294
04:35:36,496 --> 04:35:36,746
we completed the homes and set

7295
04:35:37,864 --> 04:35:38,114
the homes within two months and

7296
04:35:41,601 --> 04:35:41,851
then we we actually did the site

7297
04:35:42,268 --> 04:35:42,518
work after that

7298
04:35:43,970 --> 04:35:44,220
now

7299
04:35:48,374 --> 04:35:48,624
I I believe the cost was around

7300
04:35:50,510 --> 04:35:50,760
250 b a square foot. that's

7301
04:35:52,112 --> 04:35:52,362
probably not the exact number

7302
04:35:54,047 --> 04:35:54,297
but that's that's where we were

7303
04:35:58,184 --> 04:35:58,434
to to build that turnkey whereas

7304
04:36:01,821 --> 04:36:02,071
yeah do you have anything else

7305
04:36:03,523 --> 04:36:03,773
to say? Yeah I could speak to

7306
04:36:04,290 --> 04:36:04,540
that a little bit so each one of

7307
04:36:07,594 --> 04:36:07,844
those units is1280 square feet

7308
04:36:08,194 --> 04:36:08,444
there

7309
04:36:11,831 --> 04:36:12,081
they were right around 250 a

7310
04:36:12,465 --> 04:36:12,715
foot with the

7311
04:36:15,835 --> 04:36:16,085
the government procurement side

7312
04:36:17,637 --> 04:36:17,887
because everything in the

7313
04:36:19,572 --> 04:36:19,822
factory we were able to not pay

7314
04:36:20,340 --> 04:36:20,590
the wage rate decision but

7315
04:36:22,308 --> 04:36:22,558
everything on site had to be bid

7316
04:36:25,578 --> 04:36:25,828
as wage rate decision. we

7317
04:36:26,312 --> 04:36:26,562
helped them with all the

7318
04:36:29,816 --> 04:36:30,066
engineering and it also being

7319
04:36:32,152 --> 04:36:32,402
in Red River had to be zonefi

7320
04:36:34,387 --> 04:36:34,637
insulated and approved for that

7321
04:36:36,089 --> 04:36:36,339
so that added to the cost to

7322
04:36:38,358 --> 04:36:38,608
some degree their quote for this

7323
04:36:40,160 --> 04:36:40,410
project was near50000 of the

7324
04:36:44,364 --> 04:36:44,614
so came in at half that yeah we

7325
04:36:45,064 --> 04:36:45,314
were just right at half of

7326
04:36:47,767 --> 04:36:48,017
what they were thinking it was

7327
04:36:48,468 --> 04:36:48,718
going to cost them

7328
04:36:51,805 --> 04:36:52,055
you chair thank you Mr.

7329
04:36:53,573 --> 04:36:53,823
Mitchell. So just to clarify the

7330
04:36:55,575 --> 04:36:55,825
original estimate was500,000

7331
04:36:56,309 --> 04:36:56,559
because that was going to

7332
04:36:58,111 --> 04:36:58,361
include engineering and other

7333
04:37:00,046 --> 04:37:00,296
prep work but at the end of the

7334
04:37:02,282 --> 04:37:02,532
project it was

7335
04:37:06,085 --> 04:37:06,335
$250 per square foot. Right

7336
04:37:08,054 --> 04:37:08,304
correct right well no they they

7337
04:37:10,089 --> 04:37:10,339
estimate to build it on site

7338
04:37:13,626 --> 04:37:13,876
with a local contractor was500 a

7339
04:37:14,360 --> 04:37:14,610
foot by using us they saved

7340
04:37:16,396 --> 04:37:16,646
half. Thank you I misunderstood

7341
04:37:18,298 --> 04:37:18,548
that thank you madam Chair Mr.

7342
04:37:18,965 --> 04:37:19,215
Mitchell. OK

7343
04:37:21,835 --> 04:37:22,085
I think that's a great idea

7344
04:37:23,870 --> 04:37:24,120
for a lot of our rural schools

7345
04:37:25,572 --> 04:37:25,822
that are grappling with how

7346
04:37:26,172 --> 04:37:26,422
we're going to provide teacher

7347
04:37:29,642 --> 04:37:29,892
housing so this is interesting

7348
04:37:31,644 --> 04:37:31,894
so can you tell me what was

7349
04:37:32,212 --> 04:37:32,462
the total cost then?

7350
04:37:36,649 --> 04:37:36,899
they had some additional costs

7351
04:37:38,084 --> 04:37:38,334
there was some facilities here

7352
04:37:40,286 --> 04:37:40,536
that they dem demoed to make

7353
04:37:43,623 --> 04:37:43,873
room for this. I believe our

7354
04:37:45,592 --> 04:37:45,842
contract was right around 2

7355
04:37:46,426 --> 04:37:46,676
million and it

7356
04:37:50,296 --> 04:37:50,546
I didn't mention but all all

7357
04:37:52,031 --> 04:37:52,281
those units were a three bedroom

7358
04:37:52,699 --> 04:37:52,949
two bath

7359
04:37:52,949 --> 04:37:53,199
units

7360
04:38:00,573 --> 04:38:00,823
Thank you chair and Mr Mitchell

7361
04:38:01,908 --> 04:38:02,158
my next question is

7362
04:38:06,079 --> 04:38:06,329
you may have answered this a

7363
04:38:07,580 --> 04:38:07,830
while ago you had talked about

7364
04:38:09,816 --> 04:38:10,066
how you use the local workforce

7365
04:38:13,620 --> 04:38:13,870
but you build in your facility

7366
04:38:15,822 --> 04:38:16,072
so is a a a crew taken out? Is

7367
04:38:17,791 --> 04:38:18,041
is that the work what what's the

7368
04:38:19,626 --> 04:38:19,876
local workforce helplp me

7369
04:38:20,360 --> 04:38:20,610
understand that madam Chair

7370
04:38:22,128 --> 04:38:22,378
andpresentative thank you for

7371
04:38:23,596 --> 04:38:23,846
that question. I'd love to

7372
04:38:26,299 --> 04:38:26,549
clarify it so the actual home

7373
04:38:28,134 --> 04:38:28,384
like you you see these we can

7374
04:38:30,303 --> 04:38:30,553
just look at this for example so

7375
04:38:32,639 --> 04:38:32,889
the home when you walk in

7376
04:38:33,239 --> 04:38:33,489
there the cabinet

7377
04:38:36,109 --> 04:38:36,359
s the flooring, the countertops,

7378
04:38:38,311 --> 04:38:38,561
the bathrooms that was all done

7379
04:38:40,346 --> 04:38:40,596
in the factory. However, there

7380
04:38:41,815 --> 04:38:42,065
are certain things that need to

7381
04:38:43,550 --> 04:38:43,800
take place on site once we

7382
04:38:44,250 --> 04:38:44,500
actually set the home on the

7383
04:38:45,852 --> 04:38:46,102
foundation. Well, one the

7384
04:38:47,787 --> 04:38:48,037
foundation needs to be poured on

7385
04:38:50,056 --> 04:38:50,306
site. that metal roof had to be

7386
04:38:51,858 --> 04:38:52,108
done on site. there's a little

7387
04:38:54,060 --> 04:38:54,310
bit of the sighting that has to

7388
04:38:56,596 --> 04:38:56,846
marry up a little bit of

7389
04:38:58,097 --> 04:38:58,347
interior work plumbing

7390
04:38:59,866 --> 04:39:00,116
connections, electrical

7391
04:39:02,101 --> 04:39:02,351
connections and that has to be

7392
04:39:02,769 --> 04:39:03,019
done on site and so we can use

7393
04:39:05,772 --> 04:39:06,022
our local

7394
04:39:07,507 --> 04:39:07,757
trade

7395
04:39:10,110 --> 04:39:10,360
force that we use inRoswell

7396
04:39:10,677 --> 04:39:10,927
arttesia but

7397
04:39:14,114 --> 04:39:14,364
we prefer and we know that the

7398
04:39:15,648 --> 04:39:15,898
communities prefer that we use

7399
04:39:16,349 --> 04:39:16,599
their local

7400
04:39:18,218 --> 04:39:18,468
workforce because it's

7401
04:39:20,420 --> 04:39:20,670
relatively easy stuff it it's

7402
04:39:24,157 --> 04:39:24,407
not anything that a regular

7403
04:39:24,724 --> 04:39:24,974
contractor can't handle

7404
04:39:29,629 --> 04:39:29,879
you for that answer chair and

7405
04:39:30,363 --> 04:39:30,613
Mr Mitchell, my last question is

7406
04:39:32,432 --> 04:39:32,682
what are the warranties on these

7407
04:39:33,099 --> 04:39:33,349
types of structures

7408
04:39:37,770 --> 04:39:38,020
madam chair andre representative

7409
04:39:40,340 --> 04:39:40,590
we offer a one year bumper to

7410
04:39:43,576 --> 04:39:43,826
bumper warranty on all our new

7411
04:39:45,578 --> 04:39:45,828
homes and then they also come

7412
04:39:46,246 --> 04:39:46,496
with a twoyear mechanical

7413
04:39:50,283 --> 04:39:50,533
plumbing warranty so think the

7414
04:39:52,252 --> 04:39:52,502
Ac goes out within the first two

7415
04:39:54,254 --> 04:39:54,504
years we'll we'll go fix that

7416
04:39:55,588 --> 04:39:55,838
and then they have a 10 year

7417
04:39:56,322 --> 04:39:56,572
structural warranty. anything

7418
04:39:58,057 --> 04:39:58,307
happens with the foundation

7419
04:40:00,326 --> 04:40:00,576
whatnot in the 1st 10 years

7420
04:40:00,927 --> 04:40:01,177
we'll go and fix that

7421
04:40:05,832 --> 04:40:06,082
you have one more question thank

7422
04:40:06,499 --> 04:40:06,749
you have you

04:40:10,069 --> 04:40:10,319
chaired Mr Mitchell have you

public schools tribally

7426
04:40:14,340 --> 04:40:14,590
controlled schools, private

7427
04:40:16,109 --> 04:40:16,359
schools to provide teacher

7428
04:40:18,311 --> 04:40:18,561
housing or tribally

7429
04:40:20,346 --> 04:40:20,596

housing? have you worked with

7433
04:40:26,252 --> 04:40:26,502
them and can you tell us about

7434
04:40:26,920 --> 04:40:27,170
those

7435
04:40:30,023 --> 04:40:30,273
madam chair andres

representative, my dad can

7437
04:40:34,027 --> 04:40:34,277
probably speak a little more to

7438
04:40:37,831 --> 04:40:38,081
this we haven't had any teacher

7439
04:40:40,133 --> 04:40:40,383
housing projects that we've

7440
04:40:41,801 --> 04:40:42,051
completed yet we're in the works

7441
04:40:44,137 --> 04:40:44,387
on a couple but I know that

7442
04:40:46,306 --> 04:40:46,556
JNh services the civil side has

7443
04:40:49,542 --> 04:40:49,792
done a lot and we are CES

7444
04:40:53,613 --> 04:40:53,863
approved so we we can do that

7445
04:40:54,581 --> 04:40:54,831

04:41:39,592 --> 04:41:39,842
that and I'm also glad I didn't

7469
04:41:41,828 --> 04:41:42,078
hear of any restrictions or any

7470
04:41:43,596 --> 04:41:43,846
concerns that you had that the

7471
04:41:44,397 --> 04:41:44,647
federal government doesn't allow

7472
04:41:46,065 --> 04:41:46,315
that type of contracting with

7473
04:41:48,134 --> 04:41:48,384
modular buildings sounds like

7474
04:41:50,103 --> 04:41:50,353
they do so yes ma'am so just

7475
04:41:52,372 --> 04:41:52,622
because it's modular it it it

7476
04:41:54,440 --> 04:41:54,690
appreciates everything about it

7477
04:41:55,809 --> 04:41:56,059
as as if it's on site belt.

7478
04:42:00,313 --> 04:42:00,563
and and it's actually better

7479
04:42:00,980 --> 04:42:01,230
quality.

7480
04:42:01,714 --> 04:42:01,964

thank you madam chair and thank

you it's good to see you again

7485
04:42:13,827 --> 04:42:14,077
you would have been proud very

7486
04:42:15,795 --> 04:42:16,045
proud of your son100 time full

7487
04:42:17,831 --> 04:42:18,081
because he presented before the

7488
04:42:18,531 --> 04:42:18,781
economic and rural

7489
04:42:21,601 --> 04:42:21,851
development when we met in

7490
04:42:23,570 --> 04:42:23,820
uhRoswell and part of our

7491
04:42:24,270 --> 04:42:24,520
conversation madam chairir was

7492
04:42:27,607 --> 04:42:27,857
we encouraged him to reach out

7493
04:42:29,609 --> 04:42:29,859
to various interim committees

7494
04:42:30,376 --> 04:42:30,626
around the state because we were

7495
04:42:33,847 --> 04:42:34,097
still meeting and we wanted

7496
04:42:35,648 --> 04:42:35,898
to help him

7497
04:42:37,851 --> 04:42:38,101
promote

7498
04:42:41,888 --> 04:42:42,138
the housing this modular

7499
04:42:42,455 --> 04:42:42,705
housing

7500
04:42:45,592 --> 04:42:45,842
and because of the very

7501
04:42:46,126 --> 04:42:46,376
questions you were asking

7502
04:42:51,831 --> 04:42:52,081
Teacher housing you know started

7503
04:42:52,565 --> 04:42:52,815
working in in Cibala

7504
04:42:55,835 --> 04:42:56,085
McKinley County's back in 2001

7505
04:42:57,704 --> 04:42:57,954
and back then

7506
04:42:58,338 --> 04:42:58,588
they were telling us

7507
04:43:02,041 --> 04:43:02,291
about the need for teacher

7508
04:43:05,578 --> 04:43:05,828
housing and then the city of

7509
04:43:06,212 --> 04:43:06,462
Grantz was highly

7510
04:43:08,348 --> 04:43:08,598
had

7511
04:43:10,116 --> 04:43:10,366
high degree of dilapidated

7512
04:43:10,683 --> 04:43:10,933
housing

7513
04:43:14,387 --> 04:43:14,637
and housing had to be those

7514
04:43:16,055 --> 04:43:16,305
homes had to be demolished they

7515
04:43:18,358 --> 04:43:18,608
were ruled unsafe for a large to

7516
04:43:20,059 --> 04:43:20,309
a large extent because they were

7517
04:43:21,861 --> 04:43:22,111
so old they were built in the

7518
04:43:24,597 --> 04:43:24,847
early mining industry so I

7519
04:43:27,600 --> 04:43:27,850
say all that to say that again I

7520
04:43:29,569 --> 04:43:29,819
I was exposed to modular housing

7521
04:43:31,838 --> 04:43:32,088
when I was doing housing

7522
04:43:32,438 --> 04:43:32,688
development down south

7523
04:43:35,842 --> 04:43:36,092
and and thank you for asking

7524
04:43:37,610 --> 04:43:37,860
the question about the federal

7525
04:43:39,546 --> 04:43:39,796
government because it in fact

7526
04:43:41,581 --> 04:43:41,831
was one of the very first

7527
04:43:43,850 --> 04:43:44,100
grants I can't remember I think

7528
04:43:47,520 --> 04:43:47,770
it was carlos might remember but

7529
04:43:48,188 --> 04:43:48,438
we received

7530
04:43:52,358 --> 04:43:52,608
Federal funding on from three

7531
04:43:54,360 --> 04:43:54,610
different sources because at

7532
04:43:56,095 --> 04:43:56,345
that time we were breaking

7533
04:43:58,097 --> 04:43:58,347
ground it was a trailblazing

7534
04:44:01,868 --> 04:44:02,118
idea of modular homes and it

7535
04:44:02,635 --> 04:44:02,885
worked so well that the veterans

7536
04:44:04,337 --> 04:44:04,587
administration bought into it

7537
04:44:07,607 --> 04:44:07,857
in certain areas and far west

7538
04:44:09,876 --> 04:44:10,126
Texas that are very isolated but

7539
04:44:13,546 --> 04:44:13,796
yet veterans were were

7540
04:44:15,582 --> 04:44:15,832
buying pieces of land once they

7541
04:44:17,617 --> 04:44:17,867
had access to capital and so on

7542
04:44:19,619 --> 04:44:19,869
so madam chair I wanted to

7543
04:44:24,324 --> 04:44:24,574
just bring that because we

7544
04:44:27,827 --> 04:44:28,077
encouraged exposure of

7545
04:44:29,829 --> 04:44:30,079
this and the more you get

7546
04:44:31,798 --> 04:44:32,048
exposed to us in our committees

7547
04:44:33,600 --> 04:44:33,850
around the state I think the

7548
04:44:35,835 --> 04:44:36,085
more the better understanding we

7549
04:44:36,469 --> 04:44:36,719
get of how

7550
04:44:40,106 --> 04:44:40,356
this could actually be a great

7551
04:44:41,775 --> 04:44:42,025
resolution for our housing

7552
04:44:43,910 --> 04:44:44,160
shortage but not only that the

7553
04:44:47,580 --> 04:44:47,830
affordability factor we also

7554
04:44:48,148 --> 04:44:48,398
madam chairir brought up the

7555
04:44:50,283 --> 04:44:50,533
whole question of how are

7556
04:44:52,118 --> 04:44:52,368
unfortunately our senior

7557
04:44:55,622 --> 04:44:55,872
citizens are losing their homes

7558
04:44:57,657 --> 04:44:57,907
because they're unable to

7559
04:44:58,324 --> 04:44:58,574
keep up with the horrible

7560
04:45:00,326 --> 04:45:00,576
costs associated they may have

7561
04:45:02,061 --> 04:45:02,311
finished their mortgage but they

7562
04:45:03,596 --> 04:45:03,846
have these high utility rates

7563
04:45:04,364 --> 04:45:04,614
and all the other costs

7564
04:45:05,799 --> 04:45:06,049
associated and their homes have

7565
04:45:06,466 --> 04:45:06,716
now

7566
04:45:09,636 --> 04:45:09,886
after th30,40,50 years become

7567
04:45:10,303 --> 04:45:10,553
unaffordable and they

7568
04:45:15,575 --> 04:45:15,825
especially those families that

7569
04:45:17,844 --> 04:45:18,094
don't have dependences so

7570
04:45:20,079 --> 04:45:20,329
this is a viable alternative

7571
04:45:23,583 --> 04:45:23,833
affordable alternative in a

7572
04:45:24,317 --> 04:45:24,567
number of ways and so one

7573
04:45:24,851 --> 04:45:25,101
question

7574
04:45:28,455 --> 04:45:28,705
were you able to get

7575
04:45:31,791 --> 04:45:32,041
on the agenda with mortgage

7576
04:45:32,358 --> 04:45:32,608
finance Author

7577
04:45:41,901 --> 04:45:42,151
Madam Chair andre

7578
04:45:42,402 --> 04:45:42,652
representative, thank you for

7579
04:45:44,070 --> 04:45:44,320
that question. Yes ma'am we've

7580
04:45:46,439 --> 04:45:46,689
actually presented at their

7581
04:45:47,006 --> 04:45:47,256
board meeting

7582
04:45:51,811 --> 04:45:52,061
before and I I've gotten to

7583
04:45:53,880 --> 04:45:54,130
be a special guest once or twice

7584
04:45:55,548 --> 04:45:55,798
so that's they've they've been

7585
04:45:58,118 --> 04:45:58,368
very good to us and we're going

7586
04:45:59,853 --> 04:46:00,103
to need all the legislative

7587
04:46:01,855 --> 04:46:02,105
support we can get to move

7588
04:46:04,090 --> 04:46:04,340
mortgage finance authority I

7589
04:46:05,825 --> 04:46:06,075
think we all need to be the

7590
04:46:06,593 --> 04:46:06,843
oversight for them because they

7591
04:46:08,394 --> 04:46:08,644
have been presented many ideas

7592
04:46:10,096 --> 04:46:10,346
and this is one of the most

7593
04:46:11,831 --> 04:46:12,081
affordable ideas they've been

7594
04:46:13,833 --> 04:46:14,083
presented and for some reason

7595
04:46:14,567 --> 04:46:14,817
they have a new name what is it

7596
04:46:15,235 --> 04:46:15,485
housing

7597
04:46:18,071 --> 04:46:18,321
New Mexico or something like

7598
04:46:20,073 --> 04:46:20,323
that they they just

7599
04:46:24,110 --> 04:46:24,360
do not want to remove themselves

7600
04:46:24,844 --> 04:46:25,094
from the conventional

7601
04:46:26,079 --> 04:46:26,329
housing

7602
04:46:30,350 --> 04:46:30,600
construction concepts right that

7603
04:46:34,053 --> 04:46:34,303
self or380,000 dollars to start

7604
04:46:37,557 --> 04:46:37,807
off with up and they call that

7605
04:46:39,859 --> 04:46:40,109
affordable when in fact at

7606
04:46:41,594 --> 04:46:41,844
one of their meetings madam

7607
04:46:43,763 --> 04:46:44,013
chair a question was asked and

7608
04:46:46,366 --> 04:46:46,616
said how much money would

7609
04:46:47,834 --> 04:46:48,084
what is what would be the

7610
04:46:49,569 --> 04:46:49,819
minimum hourly wage that a

7611
04:46:51,805 --> 04:46:52,055
family would have to be made a

7612
04:46:53,873 --> 04:46:54,123
head of household would have to

7613
04:46:55,909 --> 04:46:56,159
make in order to be able to

7614
04:46:56,543 --> 04:46:56,793
afford just walking into

7615
04:46:57,110 --> 04:46:57,360
a380,000

7616
04:47:00,580 --> 04:47:00,830
and it came out to44 almost45

7617
04:47:01,247 --> 04:47:01,497
dollars an hour

7618
04:47:04,284 --> 04:47:04,534
wage they would have to earn in

7619
04:47:07,620 --> 04:47:07,870
order to be able to walk

7620
04:47:08,188 --> 04:47:08,438
into380,00

7621
04:47:13,760 --> 04:47:14,010
you know in Albuquerque so

7622
04:47:14,294 --> 04:47:14,544
again this is

7623
04:47:19,566 --> 04:47:19,816
a real alternate not alternative

7624
04:47:22,101 --> 04:47:22,351
it's a real housing opportunity

7625
04:47:25,839 --> 04:47:26,089
that's being presented to us at

7626
04:47:26,539 --> 04:47:26,789
different committees and

7627
04:47:28,641 --> 04:47:28,891
different areas of our state

7628
04:47:30,376 --> 04:47:30,626
where we're all being faced with

7629
04:47:31,644 --> 04:47:31,894
a housing crisis

7630
04:47:35,582 --> 04:47:35,832
and we heard earlier fromallup

7631
04:47:37,750 --> 04:47:38,000
about the homeless unsheltered

7632
04:47:38,418 --> 04:47:38,668
crisis that we're facing

7633
04:47:40,386 --> 04:47:40,636
when we have a viable

7634
04:47:43,556 --> 04:47:43,806
alternative right here so I just

7635
04:47:44,357 --> 04:47:44,607
wanted to say thank you to you

7636
04:47:46,126 --> 04:47:46,376
for being diligent in pursuing

7637
04:47:49,863 --> 04:47:50,113
these presentations and I

7638
04:47:51,598 --> 04:47:51,848
would just say that you keep

7639
04:47:53,833 --> 04:47:54,083
doing it be persistent and

7640
04:47:55,902 --> 04:47:56,152
we'll keep promoting as much as

7641
04:47:59,973 --> 04:48:00,223
we can the the this

7642
04:48:00,406 --> 04:48:00,656
housing

7643
04:48:02,709 --> 04:48:02,959
modular home

7644
04:48:05,879 --> 04:48:06,129
concept although it's been

7645
04:48:09,682 --> 04:48:09,932
around for a while but in in the

7646
04:48:10,416 --> 04:48:10,666
other admirable thing is that

7647
04:48:12,318 --> 04:48:12,568
you're present right here in our

7648
04:48:13,820 --> 04:48:14,070
backyard in the state of New

7649
04:48:14,487 --> 04:48:14,737
Mexico

7650
04:48:16,356 --> 04:48:16,606
so I'm glad you did a little bit

7651
04:48:18,324 --> 04:48:18,574
about your company because

inRoswell, New Mexico.

7654
04:48:23,530 --> 04:48:23,780
so and you have the capacity to

7655
04:48:24,197 --> 04:48:24,447
be

7656
04:48:29,602 --> 04:48:29,852
communities as well and I

7657
04:48:31,805 --> 04:48:32,055
think the more volume it's the

7658
04:48:33,573 --> 04:48:33,823
classic capitalist concept the

7659
04:48:36,075 --> 04:48:36,325
more volume the cost can go down

7660
04:48:38,077 --> 04:48:38,327
so the more volume we have in

7661
04:48:39,879 --> 04:48:40,129
this type of housing hopefully

7662
04:48:40,580 --> 04:48:40,830
by the time you get toallup, New

7663
04:48:41,214 --> 04:48:41,464
Mexico

7664
04:48:44,384 --> 04:48:44,634
the the price per square foot

7665
04:48:46,286 --> 04:48:46,536
might go down from160 to

7666
04:48:48,588 --> 04:48:48,838
maybe140,120 I don't know

7667
04:48:50,323 --> 04:48:50,573
wishful thinking but anyway

7668
04:48:51,524 --> 04:48:51,774
thank you madam chair and and

7669
04:48:52,192 --> 04:48:52,442

7671
04:49:00,066 --> 04:49:00,316
hope because you're a young man

7672
04:49:02,068 --> 04:49:02,318
following in a family business

7673
04:49:03,736 --> 04:49:03,986
but you're doing an excellent

7674
04:49:04,370 --> 04:49:04,620
job. Thank you.

7675
04:49:06,372 --> 04:49:06,622

7676
04:49:08,074 --> 04:49:08,324

Johnson. thank you madam chairir

7678
04:49:14,047 --> 04:49:14,297
I just want to say now you tell

7679
04:49:15,615 --> 04:49:15,865
me

7680
04:49:17,584 --> 04:49:17,834
because I'm one of those people

7681
04:49:18,284 --> 04:49:18,534
who drives back

7682
04:49:27,827 --> 04:49:28,077
So I think I'm excited to

7683
04:49:30,296 --> 04:49:30,546
continue to follow and support

7684
04:49:33,600 --> 04:49:33,850
this program. I know that our

7685
04:49:34,267 --> 04:49:34,517
health

7686
04:49:39,739 --> 04:49:39,989
our senior citizens

7687
04:49:48,181 --> 04:49:48,431
see our students commute

7688
04:49:51,584 --> 04:49:51,834
hundreds of miles just to attend

7689
04:49:53,586 --> 04:49:53,836
class who who need to be in

7690
04:50:00,293 --> 04:50:00,543
a class work so and I want to

7691
04:50:02,328 --> 04:50:02,578
thankpresentative Abeda for the

7692
04:50:06,065 --> 04:50:06,315
questions she asked all the

7693
04:50:06,633 --> 04:50:06,883
questions that we were curious

7694
04:50:07,267 --> 04:50:07,517
about

7695
04:50:09,769 --> 04:50:10,019
and so I think homes are

7696
04:50:16,643 --> 04:50:16,893
so

7697
04:50:17,644 --> 04:50:17,894
thank you

7704
04:50:40,133 --> 04:50:40,383
bit of a solution I think for

7705

many of the things we because

7706
04:50:42,368 --> 04:50:42,618

them to that next step of

7712
04:50:53,913 --> 04:50:54,163
something they can afford

7713
04:50:55,548 --> 04:50:55,798
especially if they have those

7714
04:50:56,216 --> 04:50:56,466
skills and meet the needs of the

7715
04:51:00,320 --> 04:51:00,570

part of this committee it's

7758
04:53:38,011 --> 04:53:38,261
really an honor to be here.

7759
04:53:40,480 --> 04:53:40,730
I don't know about being short

7760
04:53:42,348 --> 04:53:42,598
because as a part of why I'm

7761
04:53:44,384 --> 04:53:44,634
here I want to give you a really

7762
04:53:46,586 --> 04:53:46,836
my

7763
04:53:52,125 --> 04:53:52,375
how I got here started 50 years

7764
04:53:52,725 --> 04:53:52,975
ago on December

7765
04:53:56,629 --> 04:53:56,879
thir1st around3 in the morning

7766
04:54:01,868 --> 04:54:02,118
when my

7767
04:54:05,638 --> 04:54:05,888
professional baseball career

7768
04:54:08,208 --> 04:54:08,458
ended after I ran into a car on

7769
04:54:08,875 --> 04:54:09,125
a snowmobile

7770
04:54:12,579 --> 04:54:12,829
I'm from Oregon originally and

7771
04:54:15,748 --> 04:54:15,998
I'd come home from a successful

7772
04:54:16,416 --> 04:54:16,666
baseball season

7773
04:54:18,251 --> 04:54:18,501
your first handout is a

7774
04:54:21,921 --> 04:54:22,171
letter that I received from

7775
04:54:22,489 --> 04:54:22,739
Tonyegegal

7776
04:54:24,424 --> 04:54:24,674
I was hoping to

7777
04:54:28,094 --> 04:54:28,344
move out of professional

7778
04:54:31,564 --> 04:54:31,814
baseball here in the states. I'd

7779
04:54:33,600 --> 04:54:33,850
play I'd turn down playing in

7780
04:54:36,436 --> 04:54:36,686
Mexico in1976 to stay at home in

7781
04:54:37,103 --> 04:54:37,353
oregon

7782
04:54:41,574 --> 04:54:41,824
I played professionally for

7783
04:54:44,377 --> 04:54:44,627
six seasons for regular seasons

7784
04:54:45,578 --> 04:54:45,828
with the Milwaukeebrewers in

7785
04:54:47,814 --> 04:54:48,064
their farm system. I got

7786
04:54:51,885 --> 04:54:52,135
released in'751975 from the

7787
04:54:54,354 --> 04:54:54,604
sacramento bees in the Pacific

7788
04:54:57,624 --> 04:54:57,874
coast League I might be the

7789
04:55:00,426 --> 04:55:00,676
only player that you know who

7790
04:55:01,828 --> 04:55:02,078
actually pitched against the

7791
04:55:02,428 --> 04:55:02,678
Albuquerque dukes

7792
04:55:05,632 --> 04:55:05,882
Tommy Lasorda, Ronsey

7793
04:55:11,954 --> 04:55:12,204
that's my relief pitcher back

7794
04:55:12,472 --> 04:55:12,722
here in the back

7795
04:55:17,610 --> 04:55:17,860
Larry Foster he was honored to

7796
04:55:18,611 --> 04:55:18,861
be a part of Native Americanhall

7797
04:55:21,581 --> 04:55:21,831
of fame baseball playing hall of

7798
04:55:22,282 --> 04:55:22,532
fame but

7799
04:55:28,087 --> 04:55:28,337
really I'm here to really try to

7800
04:55:29,856 --> 04:55:30,106
give you information and what

7801
04:55:31,825 --> 04:55:32,075
I've learned over the last50

7802
04:55:34,060 --> 04:55:34,310
years of living with a brain

7803
04:55:36,095 --> 04:55:36,345
injury because I really hope

7804
04:55:37,864 --> 04:55:38,114
that this information I know

7805
04:55:40,099 --> 04:55:40,349
I've talked to uhpresentative

7806
04:55:42,168 --> 04:55:42,418
Johnson since she's had her

7807
04:55:45,638 --> 04:55:45,888
brain injury and I'll let her

7808
04:55:46,306 --> 04:55:46,556
talk to

7809
04:55:48,441 --> 04:55:48,691
some of that after I talk here

7810
04:55:51,878 --> 04:55:52,128
about her care and and really I

7811
04:55:53,847 --> 04:55:54,097
think it's gonna

7812
04:55:56,282 --> 04:55:56,532
point out some of the reasons

7813
04:55:56,983 --> 04:55:57,233
why I'm here

7814
04:55:59,686 --> 04:55:59,936
because really

7815
04:56:03,723 --> 04:56:03,973
it's really hard to understand

7816
04:56:05,859 --> 04:56:06,109
we look fine

7817
04:56:08,361 --> 04:56:08,611
but you don't understand the

7818
04:56:10,597 --> 04:56:10,847
difficulties that we have in

7819
04:56:11,264 --> 04:56:11,514
just daily living

7820
04:56:16,102 --> 04:56:16,352
Once our brain is scrambled it

7821
04:56:19,606 --> 04:56:19,856
really is hard to make sense of

7822
04:56:21,808 --> 04:56:22,058
things and understand things. it

7823
04:56:24,110 --> 04:56:24,360
was good that Bill Lee was here

7824
04:56:24,778 --> 04:56:25,028
talking about epilepsy

7825
04:56:27,881 --> 04:56:28,131
the number one cause of epilepsy

7826
04:56:28,615 --> 04:56:28,865
is brain injuries.

7827
04:56:33,586 --> 04:56:33,836
and so I really recommend and I

7828
04:56:34,320 --> 04:56:34,570
support what he was saying and

7829
04:56:36,156 --> 04:56:36,406
doing with the vagus nerve

7830
04:56:36,723 --> 04:56:36,973
implant

7831
04:56:39,826 --> 04:56:40,076
because that's one of the things

7832
04:56:40,627 --> 04:56:40,877
I've learned over the years and

7833
04:56:42,128 --> 04:56:42,378
I'll talk a little bit about

7834
04:56:43,797 --> 04:56:44,047
this as I go along

7835
04:56:44,230 --> 04:56:44,480
but when I

7836
04:56:47,801 --> 04:56:48,051
woke up I'll tell you a little

7837
04:56:49,536 --> 04:56:49,786
bit about my injury

7838
04:56:52,105 --> 04:56:52,355
everything I don't know any of

7839
04:56:54,407 --> 04:56:54,657
things I've got about a month

7840
04:56:58,144 --> 04:56:58,394
missing. I remember going to

7841
04:57:00,313 --> 04:57:00,563
the hot springs I'd come home

7842
04:57:02,048 --> 04:57:02,298
for the holidays after its

7843
04:57:03,883 --> 04:57:04,133
successful baseball season. I

7844
04:57:08,087 --> 04:57:08,337
was10 and1 in1976 our team took

7845
04:57:09,823 --> 04:57:10,073
the state championship instead

7846
04:57:11,624 --> 04:57:11,874
of I turned down played in

7847
04:57:13,560 --> 04:57:13,810
Mexico professionally but I

7848
04:57:14,327 --> 04:57:14,577
stayed in Oregon to plan semiro

7849
04:57:16,463 --> 04:57:16,713
team Bend Oregon

7850
04:57:20,300 --> 04:57:20,550
I was10 and1. our team took

7851
04:57:21,801 --> 04:57:22,051
the state championship. I

7852
04:57:24,103 --> 04:57:24,353
pitched the semifinal game to

7853
04:57:25,872 --> 04:57:26,122
get us into the playoffs and

7854
04:57:28,141 --> 04:57:28,391
then I came in in relief to win

7855
04:57:28,808 --> 04:57:29,058
the championship

7856
04:57:32,378 --> 04:57:32,628
like I I was gonna use this

7857
04:57:32,946 --> 04:57:33,196
letter

7858
04:57:37,584 --> 04:57:37,834
to go out of the states because

7859
04:57:41,588 --> 04:57:41,838
in1976 Major League Baseball

7860
04:57:44,457 --> 04:57:44,707
was opening up and as well as

7861
04:57:48,294 --> 04:57:48,544
Europee was expanding Italy that

7862
04:57:50,296 --> 04:57:50,546
they were all kinds of places

7863
04:57:52,031 --> 04:57:52,281
for me to play and I was gonna

7864
04:57:55,568 --> 04:57:55,818
take my skills and my abilities

7865
04:57:57,604 --> 04:57:57,854
outside of the states because I

7866
04:57:58,271 --> 04:57:58,521
saw that's where my future was.

7867
04:58:04,110 --> 04:58:04,360
unfortunately I never got to use

7868
04:58:04,778 --> 04:58:05,028
this letter

7869
04:58:08,081 --> 04:58:08,331
like I said they told me that

7870
04:58:11,551 --> 04:58:11,801
I remember Christmas Eve I went

7871
04:58:13,553 --> 04:58:13,803
up to the hot springs. I wanted

7872
04:58:15,855 --> 04:58:16,105
to do two things when I got home

7873
04:58:16,556 --> 04:58:16,806
for the ho well three things

7874
04:58:19,592 --> 04:58:19,842
actually regroup and decide if I

7875
04:58:20,326 --> 04:58:20,576
was where I was going to play

7876
04:58:21,895 --> 04:58:22,145
that summer if I was going to

7877
04:58:22,529 --> 04:58:22,779
play

7878
04:58:26,099 --> 04:58:26,349
other was to go to the hot

7879
04:58:28,134 --> 04:58:28,384
springs well actually you had to

7880
04:58:30,136 --> 04:58:30,386
go to the hot springs and that's

7881
04:58:31,805 --> 04:58:32,055
what I remember doing on

7882
04:58:33,606 --> 04:58:33,856
Christmas Eve. The other was to

7883
04:58:34,274 --> 04:58:34,524
go snowmobiling

7884
04:58:37,911 --> 04:58:38,161
I don't remember that they tell

7885
04:58:38,578 --> 04:58:38,828
me I was

7886
04:58:42,081 --> 04:58:42,331
one of my we met a bunch of

7887
04:58:43,817 --> 04:58:44,067
people three of us had been

7888
04:58:45,585 --> 04:58:45,835
snowmobiling for a couple3 hours

7889
04:58:46,319 --> 04:58:46,569
we met other people at this

7890
04:58:47,921 --> 04:58:48,171
rendezvous place

7891
04:58:53,626 --> 04:58:53,876
after the bars had closed so

7892
04:58:55,595 --> 04:58:55,845
they all came up and I guess one

7893
04:58:57,831 --> 04:58:58,081
of my friends had lost his keys

7894
04:59:00,133 --> 04:59:00,383
to a snowbill, another hot wired

7895
04:59:01,801 --> 04:59:02,051
it and they said let me take

7896
04:59:02,469 --> 04:59:02,719
it for a test run

7897
04:59:05,572 --> 04:59:05,822
they told me I went up about

7898
04:59:08,074 --> 04:59:08,324
mile, came back all all out and

7899
04:59:10,043 --> 04:59:10,293
was probably doing4050 miles an

7900
04:59:12,512 --> 04:59:12,762
hour. the only person that saw

7901
04:59:15,615 --> 04:59:15,865
saw what happened was standing

7902
04:59:17,851 --> 04:59:18,101
in there was a line of pickups

7903
04:59:20,320 --> 04:59:20,570
on one side there was a u and he

7904
04:59:23,590 --> 04:59:23,840
was standing in between the the

7905
04:59:24,524 --> 04:59:24,774
pickups and the and and the you

7906
04:59:27,627 --> 04:59:27,877
and all I can think of is I must

7907
04:59:29,596 --> 04:59:29,846
have saw him and tried to avoid

7908
04:59:31,865 --> 04:59:32,115
hitting him and ran heads

7909
04:59:32,432 --> 04:59:32,682
headfirst into a side of

7910
04:59:33,099 --> 04:59:33,349
a parked car

7911
04:59:37,837 --> 04:59:38,087
when I hit the car I broke my

7912
04:59:40,073 --> 04:59:40,323
jaw below my chin rammed this

7913
04:59:43,543 --> 04:59:43,793
jawbone into my ear canal on

7914
04:59:44,577 --> 04:59:44,827
impact I separated my skull

7915
04:59:46,346 --> 04:59:46,596
busted out some teeth, broke a

7916
04:59:51,584 --> 04:59:51,834
rib and knocked me out for so

7917
04:59:53,853 --> 04:59:54,103
the only thing that I then the

7918
04:59:56,089 --> 04:59:56,339
next thing I remember was waking

7919
04:59:56,723 --> 04:59:56,973
up at home

7920
04:59:59,859 --> 05:00:00,109
in front of a mirror about 6

7921
05:00:01,828 --> 05:00:02,078
inches in front of a mirror

7922
05:00:03,830 --> 05:00:04,080
coming out at darkness through a

7923
05:00:07,567 --> 05:00:07,817
fog to picking the wires of my

7924
05:00:08,368 --> 05:00:08,618
mouth my wire my mouth was wired

7925
05:00:09,068 --> 05:00:09,318
shut

7926
05:00:15,875 --> 05:00:16,125
what the blank happened to you

7927
05:00:17,610 --> 05:00:17,860
that's all I could say because I

7928
05:00:19,579 --> 05:00:19,829
didn't know I knew that I was at

7929
05:00:21,614 --> 05:00:21,864
home because I was in my folks'

7930
05:00:24,083 --> 05:00:24,333
bedroom with my bathrobe on my

7931
05:00:24,784 --> 05:00:25,034
name wasen and I played baseball

7932
05:00:28,087 --> 05:00:28,337
but I didn't know anything about

7933
05:00:30,290 --> 05:00:30,540
home kin or baseball. the only

7934
05:00:32,525 --> 05:00:32,775
thing I knew was my mouth was

7935
05:00:33,593 --> 05:00:33,843
wid shut and I didn't know why

7936
05:00:38,031 --> 05:00:38,281
so I walked into my mar tried to

7937
05:00:39,799 --> 05:00:40,049
find my mom. I remember sitting

7938
05:00:41,601 --> 05:00:41,851
back there for a half hour

7939
05:00:43,636 --> 05:00:43,886
trying to figure out what's

7940
05:00:45,839 --> 05:00:46,089
going on and so I walked in to

7941
05:00:47,607 --> 05:00:47,857
try to find my mom who just

7942
05:00:48,374 --> 05:00:48,624
happened to be coming down the

7943
05:00:52,045 --> 05:00:52,295
hallway my my mom operated a

7944
05:00:53,913 --> 05:00:54,163
shoe store and so she's getting

7945
05:00:55,582 --> 05:00:55,832
ready to go to work and Is

7946
05:00:56,149 --> 05:00:56,399
stopped her

7947
05:00:59,619 --> 05:00:59,869
why is my mouth wiren't shut and

7948
05:01:01,521 --> 05:01:01,771
I can still remember that look

7949
05:01:02,188 --> 05:01:02,438
on her face of

7950
05:01:06,326 --> 05:01:06,576
well you were in a snowmobile

7951
05:01:08,328 --> 05:01:08,578
wreck at Summit Lake, but I

7952
05:01:10,029 --> 05:01:10,279
grabbed her and I said momm what

7953
05:01:12,031 --> 05:01:12,281
what what do you mean? I just

7954
05:01:14,334 --> 05:01:14,584
got here fromor which is the

7955
05:01:16,536 --> 05:01:16,786
first time I was ever able to

7956
05:01:19,839 --> 05:01:20,089
say that to her even though it

7957
05:01:20,473 --> 05:01:20,723
would take me three or four

7958
05:01:22,342 --> 05:01:22,592
months to be able to remember

7959
05:01:25,812 --> 05:01:26,062
about being inor and coming home

7960
05:01:28,348 --> 05:01:28,598
I just said it and just that

7961
05:01:30,350 --> 05:01:30,600
look on her face I can still

7962
05:01:32,385 --> 05:01:32,635
feel her arm her hands on my

7963
05:01:33,620 --> 05:01:33,870
arms. Oh your back

7964
05:01:35,021 --> 05:01:35,271
you're back

7965
05:01:39,592 --> 05:01:39,842
what do you mean? what happened

7966
05:01:41,594 --> 05:01:41,844
to me? Why is my mouth wired

7967
05:01:42,162 --> 05:01:42,412
shut?

7968
05:01:44,097 --> 05:01:44,347
So I'd already forgot about

7969
05:01:45,765 --> 05:01:46,015
being in the snowmobile wreck

7970
05:01:47,567 --> 05:01:47,817
and that's the way it is with

7971
05:01:49,869 --> 05:01:50,119
brain injury. it took me a long

7972
05:01:50,537 --> 05:01:50,787
time that short term memory loss

7973
05:01:54,107 --> 05:01:54,357
now I want to come up to

7974
05:01:58,611 --> 05:01:58,861
this next when I this next is a

7975
05:02:01,848 --> 05:02:02,098
letter fromRobert Saposky. he's

7976
05:02:04,083 --> 05:02:04,333
a noted neuroscientist from

7977
05:02:04,651 --> 05:02:04,901
Chicago

7978
05:02:09,622 --> 05:02:09,872
when I came when I came to and I

7979
05:02:10,323 --> 05:02:10,573
started having friends come over

7980
05:02:13,827 --> 05:02:14,077
to see me after after I got out

7981
05:02:15,562 --> 05:02:15,812
of the hospital I could

7982
05:02:17,697 --> 05:02:17,947
recognize her face but I

7983
05:02:18,231 --> 05:02:18,481
couldn't remember their name

7984
05:02:20,633 --> 05:02:20,883
and that really bothered it it

7985
05:02:23,803 --> 05:02:24,053
was embarrassing. I mean I a

7986
05:02:25,839 --> 05:02:26,089
small town my graduating class

7987
05:02:28,341 --> 05:02:28,591
was 98 kids and that was a long

7988
05:02:31,544 --> 05:02:31,794
largest class in in the school

7989
05:02:32,545 --> 05:02:32,795
history but I knew everybody,

7990
05:02:36,082 --> 05:02:36,332
everybody knew me and I couldn't

7991
05:02:36,749 --> 05:02:36,999
remember their name

7992
05:02:40,053 --> 05:02:40,303
and it was just so embarrassing

7993
05:02:42,055 --> 05:02:42,305
and the harder that I tried to

7994
05:02:44,023 --> 05:02:44,273
remember the more impossible it

7995
05:02:44,657 --> 05:02:44,907
was

7996
05:02:47,861 --> 05:02:48,111
but my baseball

7997
05:02:48,495 --> 05:02:48,745
skills kicked in

7998
05:02:52,132 --> 05:02:52,382
because that's one thing you

7999
05:02:54,033 --> 05:02:54,283
learn as a pitcher is how to

8000
05:02:56,536 --> 05:02:56,786
control stress so that you can

8001
05:02:59,572 --> 05:02:59,822
block all this stuff that's

8002
05:03:01,541 --> 05:03:01,791
going on because your job is to

8003
05:03:03,843 --> 05:03:04,093
throw strikes get people out

8004
05:03:06,112 --> 05:03:06,362
that's focused concentration but

8005
05:03:08,014 --> 05:03:08,264
most of all it's relaxation

8006
05:03:12,285 --> 05:03:12,535
because when you're pitching

8007
05:03:15,588 --> 05:03:15,838
and if you don't manage the

8008
05:03:18,291 --> 05:03:18,541
stress your wrist straightens

8009
05:03:20,293 --> 05:03:20,543
out stiffens up and your

8010
05:03:22,295 --> 05:03:22,545
fastball straightens out which

8011
05:03:25,632 --> 05:03:25,882
makes it easier to hit so your

8012
05:03:27,834 --> 05:03:28,084
drill all the time about

8013
05:03:30,303 --> 05:03:30,553
listening to your body. nowadays

8014
05:03:31,671 --> 05:03:31,921
that's called biofeedback

8015
05:03:35,842 --> 05:03:36,092
and staying calm keeping your

8016
05:03:38,645 --> 05:03:38,895
poise, breathing that's all

8017
05:03:39,679 --> 05:03:39,929
called mindfulness

8018
05:03:40,213 --> 05:03:40,463
now

8019
05:03:46,085 --> 05:03:46,335
so all these things that I had

8020
05:03:49,556 --> 05:03:49,806
to learn the hard way. I mean I

8021
05:03:50,256 --> 05:03:50,506
I like to tell people that I

8022
05:03:52,091 --> 05:03:52,341
greg graduated from the school

8023
05:03:54,327 --> 05:03:54,577
of hard knocks because that's

8024
05:03:57,897 --> 05:03:58,147
the way it is. I mean within the

8025
05:03:59,866 --> 05:04:00,116
brain injury

8026
05:04:03,837 --> 05:04:04,087
so let me go and so when I

8027
05:04:06,039 --> 05:04:06,289
did that when I listened to my

8028
05:04:06,706 --> 05:04:06,956
body

8029
05:04:08,274 --> 05:04:08,524
and just

8030
05:04:10,577 --> 05:04:10,827
stayed calm sometimes their name

8031
05:04:11,244 --> 05:04:11,494
would come

8032
05:04:16,382 --> 05:04:16,632
not every time but it it would

8033
05:04:18,051 --> 05:04:18,301
definitely would never come if

8034
05:04:19,853 --> 05:04:20,103
I'm trying to remember and

8035
05:04:22,522 --> 05:04:22,772
it just it just that's just how

8036
05:04:25,859 --> 05:04:26,109
it works and so I kept that and

8037
05:04:26,593 --> 05:04:26,843
so once I started having

8038
05:04:30,563 --> 05:04:30,813
I'm a founding member of the

8039
05:04:32,065 --> 05:04:32,315
Oregon Head Injury Foundation

8040
05:04:35,802 --> 05:04:36,052
in1985 so I'll come up a little

8041
05:04:39,606 --> 05:04:39,856
bit from that50 years so I was

8042
05:04:41,841 --> 05:04:42,091
appointed by5 governors in

8043
05:04:42,609 --> 05:04:42,859
Oregon to sit on the Oregon

8044
05:04:45,578 --> 05:04:45,828
disability commission because of

8045
05:04:48,114 --> 05:04:48,364
my experience and knowhow as a

8046
05:04:52,152 --> 05:04:52,402
vista volunteer in1988. I

8047
05:04:54,154 --> 05:04:54,404
started the first brain injury

8048
05:04:56,289 --> 05:04:56,539
supported living program in

8049
05:04:56,856 --> 05:04:57,106
the country as

8050
05:05:00,393 --> 05:05:00,643
a vista volunteer so I mean I've

8051
05:05:02,095 --> 05:05:02,345
been active in all this stuff

8052
05:05:04,063 --> 05:05:04,313
but this is all part of my

8053
05:05:06,099 --> 05:05:06,349
knowledge and that's what I want

8054
05:05:08,368 --> 05:05:08,618
to share with with y'all because

8055
05:05:10,303 --> 05:05:10,553
right now you've got a you've

8056
05:05:12,372 --> 05:05:12,622
got a your vice chair has had a

8057
05:05:16,376 --> 05:05:16,626
brain injury and it's it really

8058
05:05:19,612 --> 05:05:19,862
is important I mean that that

8059
05:05:22,115 --> 05:05:22,365
you see here as capable and just

8060
05:05:23,850 --> 05:05:24,100
because she has a brain injury

8061
05:05:24,584 --> 05:05:24,834
doesn't mean that she's not

8062
05:05:26,319 --> 05:05:26,569
capable because she's more than

8063
05:05:26,986 --> 05:05:27,236
capable I've talked to her a lot

8064
05:05:30,590 --> 05:05:30,840
I I hope I'm not making her

8065
05:05:34,327 --> 05:05:34,577
uncomfortable but it really

8066
05:05:36,329 --> 05:05:36,579
is critical that we

8067
05:05:39,799 --> 05:05:40,049
identify folks with brain

8068
05:05:42,335 --> 05:05:42,585
injuries on the streets and

8069
05:05:43,570 --> 05:05:43,820
that's really part part of why

8070
05:05:45,872 --> 05:05:46,122
I'm here this next inf

8071
05:05:48,141 --> 05:05:48,391
information I got is a guy

8072
05:05:50,376 --> 05:05:50,626
that's I picked this up when I

8073
05:05:52,145 --> 05:05:52,395
was given my groups I've been

8074
05:05:54,614 --> 05:05:54,864
giving groups here for over

8075
05:05:56,416 --> 05:05:56,666
fif years this was one of my

8076
05:05:56,983 --> 05:05:57,233
first

8077
05:06:00,353 --> 05:06:00,603
groups I went to at the jail to

8078
05:06:02,088 --> 05:06:02,338
talk about brain injury

8079
05:06:06,126 --> 05:06:06,376
awareness bring it because I I

8080
05:06:08,128 --> 05:06:08,378
believe and again that's why I'm

8081
05:06:12,132 --> 05:06:12,382
here is to is to identify people

8082
05:06:13,600 --> 05:06:13,850
with brain injuries on the

8083
05:06:16,102 --> 05:06:16,352
streets of Gallup because unless

8084
05:06:19,606 --> 05:06:19,856
we do this it's going to make

8085
05:06:21,574 --> 05:06:21,824
really solving the problem of

8086
05:06:23,576 --> 05:06:23,826
the revolving door that we have

8087
05:06:25,678 --> 05:06:25,928
here impossible to to end

8088
05:06:28,114 --> 05:06:28,364
so

8089
05:06:28,414 --> 05:06:28,664
the next

8090
05:06:33,987 --> 05:06:34,237
handout I've got is the coping

8091
05:06:34,654 --> 05:06:34,904
with stress

8092
05:06:36,623 --> 05:06:36,873
this is the mindfulness that I

8093
05:06:37,290 --> 05:06:37,540
talk about

8094
05:06:42,061 --> 05:06:42,311
this is the ways that we can

8095
05:06:45,799 --> 05:06:46,049
assist people at the hojos I

8096
05:06:47,534 --> 05:06:47,784
forgot to tell you I'm executive

8097
05:06:48,234 --> 05:06:48,484
director of thehosho Center for

8098
05:06:51,571 --> 05:06:51,821
Personal Enhancement. our office

8099
05:06:52,305 --> 05:06:52,555
is down in the mall. We

8100
05:06:54,507 --> 05:06:54,757
primarily work with people on

8101
05:06:55,742 --> 05:06:55,992
the streets

8102
05:06:59,813 --> 05:07:00,063
I've talked about this

8103
05:07:01,848 --> 05:07:02,098
identifying people with with

8104
05:07:04,083 --> 05:07:04,333
brain injuries for over 20

8105
05:07:06,119 --> 05:07:06,369
years. I just had my 2fourth

8106
05:07:08,288 --> 05:07:08,538
anniversary living ingumerco

8107
05:07:12,058 --> 05:07:12,308
I've been living here for 24

8108
05:07:14,294 --> 05:07:14,544
years so and when the

8109
05:07:16,296 --> 05:07:16,546
hozhouenter was first being

8110
05:07:19,799 --> 05:07:20,049
organized it was being

8111
05:07:22,135 --> 05:07:22,385
organized as a drop in center

8112
05:07:23,837 --> 05:07:24,087
for people on the streets with

8113
05:07:25,672 --> 05:07:25,922
alcohol substance abuse and

8114
05:07:26,206 --> 05:07:26,456
mental health issues

8115
05:07:30,076 --> 05:07:30,326
I got involved because when I

8116
05:07:32,378 --> 05:07:32,628
heard mental health I wanted to

8117
05:07:34,114 --> 05:07:34,364
make sure that people with brain

8118
05:07:36,049 --> 05:07:36,299
injuries were a part of this

8119
05:07:36,616 --> 05:07:36,866
discussion

8120
05:07:39,886 --> 05:07:40,136
because

8121
05:07:43,857 --> 05:07:44,107
mental health mental illness and

8122
05:07:44,624 --> 05:07:44,874
brain injury they're all

8123
05:07:47,861 --> 05:07:48,111
separate well it probably a

8124
05:07:49,562 --> 05:07:49,812
brain injuries are included with

8125
05:07:50,296 --> 05:07:50,546
mental health but I wanted to

8126
05:07:52,298 --> 05:07:52,548
make sure that specifically

8127
05:07:54,300 --> 05:07:54,550
people with brain injuries were

8128
05:07:54,934 --> 05:07:55,184
identified

8129
05:07:58,071 --> 05:07:58,321
so that we could so they would

8130
05:08:00,340 --> 05:08:00,590
receive the type of care in

8131
05:08:01,841 --> 05:08:02,091
terms of stress management,

8132
05:08:04,077 --> 05:08:04,327
everything that I've learned

8133
05:08:06,412 --> 05:08:06,662
over the last50 years has been

8134
05:08:07,046 --> 05:08:07,296
what I've been talking about

8135
05:08:08,381 --> 05:08:08,631
so

8136
05:08:12,252 --> 05:08:12,502
there's the second one young

8137
05:08:14,320 --> 05:08:14,570
young brain shaped by fear and

8138
05:08:17,590 --> 05:08:17,840
pain that really is some of the

8139
05:08:19,559 --> 05:08:19,809
trauma that we're seeing on the

8140
05:08:22,362 --> 05:08:22,612
streets so when and that's why

8141
05:08:25,899 --> 05:08:26,149
everyone is in a state of

8142
05:08:30,136 --> 05:08:30,386
reaction they're not capable

8143
05:08:31,571 --> 05:08:31,821
they're they're in their

8144
05:08:33,573 --> 05:08:33,823
survival skill that their

8145
05:08:35,575 --> 05:08:35,825
survival instincts are in

8146
05:08:38,545 --> 05:08:38,795
control

8147
05:08:41,614 --> 05:08:41,864
uhpresentativeabbelcaballero

8148
05:08:44,083 --> 05:08:44,333
sorry when you mention that

8149
05:08:45,819 --> 05:08:46,069
about intake it's critical

8150
05:08:50,089 --> 05:08:50,339
see that's why I mentioned now

8151
05:08:52,325 --> 05:08:52,575
on your second handout here

8152
05:08:52,959 --> 05:08:53,209
you've got

8153
05:08:56,362 --> 05:08:56,612
we're working with UN them we

8154
05:08:59,599 --> 05:08:59,849
have two interns that we're

8155
05:09:00,333 --> 05:09:00,583
working with who are passing out

8156
05:09:03,603 --> 05:09:03,853
these these are are surveys

8157
05:09:05,638 --> 05:09:05,888
because we want to get to those

8158
05:09:07,574 --> 05:09:07,824
questions because right now

8159
05:09:10,343 --> 05:09:10,593
intakes the way they are they're

8160
05:09:12,579 --> 05:09:12,829
pretty much they don't ask the

8161
05:09:13,246 --> 05:09:13,496
right questions

8162
05:09:17,851 --> 05:09:18,101
and as a part of this handout

8163
05:09:19,619 --> 05:09:19,869
and the questions that we're

8164
05:09:21,621 --> 05:09:21,871
asking on the second page

8165
05:09:24,190 --> 05:09:24,440
there's a

8166
05:09:27,927 --> 05:09:28,177
there's a screening tool

8167
05:09:31,831 --> 05:09:32,081
that we want everybody to use

8168
05:09:33,600 --> 05:09:33,850
right now the only ones that are

8169
05:09:35,802 --> 05:09:36,052
using it are Gallup Indian

8170
05:09:38,104 --> 05:09:38,354
Medical Center that I'm aware of

8171
05:09:40,106 --> 05:09:40,356
some of the MCO's

8172
05:09:42,342 --> 05:09:42,592
presbyterian Molina they've

8173
05:09:44,110 --> 05:09:44,360
picked it up to so they're

8174
05:09:45,879 --> 05:09:46,129
starting to use a different

8175
05:09:48,047 --> 05:09:48,297
screening tool not this one. I

8176
05:09:49,849 --> 05:09:50,099
just found out about this one at

8177
05:09:51,584 --> 05:09:51,834
our last brain injury

8178
05:09:52,285 --> 05:09:52,535
advisory council meeting you

8179
05:09:55,622 --> 05:09:55,872
have a question OK yeah as part

8180
05:09:57,557 --> 05:09:57,807
of our I'm on the brain

8181
05:09:58,057 --> 05:09:58,307
injury advisory council

8182
05:10:01,861 --> 05:10:02,111
and I just found out that that

8183
05:10:02,562 --> 05:10:02,812
we that

8184
05:10:05,565 --> 05:10:05,815
my act have our own separate

8185
05:10:08,101 --> 05:10:08,351
screening tool that's tied in to

8186
05:10:12,071 --> 05:10:12,321
to to the part to HCA so that

8187
05:10:14,140 --> 05:10:14,390
they're starting to gather this

8188
05:10:15,675 --> 05:10:15,925
information so they can kind of

8189
05:10:16,309 --> 05:10:16,559
ferret it out

8190
05:10:19,579 --> 05:10:19,829
and that will that's that will

8191
05:10:22,081 --> 05:10:22,331
be included with Senate

8192
05:10:23,783 --> 05:10:24,033
Bill30. that's part of this

8193
05:10:25,585 --> 05:10:25,835
Senate bill3 again I think that

8194
05:10:26,286 --> 05:10:26,536
you have Senate Bill30

8195
05:10:28,254 --> 05:10:28,504
yeah

8196
05:10:30,156 --> 05:10:30,406
and so

8197
05:10:31,991 --> 05:10:32,241
ok

8198
05:10:36,329 --> 05:10:36,579
the last thing I want to talk

8199
05:10:38,298 --> 05:10:38,548
about is that I was identi I was

8200
05:10:40,333 --> 05:10:40,583
contracted last week this is

8201
05:10:42,035 --> 05:10:42,285

she's the one that contacted me

8209
05:11:02,155 --> 05:11:02,405
about this meeting we think that

8210
05:11:02,889 --> 05:11:03,139
there's that there's really a

8211
05:11:03,490 --> 05:11:03,740
need for

8212
05:11:07,827 --> 05:11:08,077

05:18:14,220 --> 05:18:14,470
our

8401
05:18:19,793 --> 05:18:20,043
previously I know I have

8402
05:18:20,326 --> 05:18:20,576
earmarked

8403
05:18:41,614 --> 05:18:41,864
communities or

8404
05:19:02,202 --> 05:19:02,452
sorry

8405
05:19:08,374 --> 05:19:08,624
do we had a dinner at Don

8406
05:19:11,811 --> 05:19:12,061
Diego's it's an annual dinner

8407
05:19:14,114 --> 05:19:14,364
with Santa Fe recovery with

8408
05:19:16,116 --> 05:19:16,366
their board and I brought up to

8409
05:19:18,318 --> 05:19:18,568
the chair and the new CEO for

8410
05:19:21,588 --> 05:19:21,838
them to take the lead in

8411
05:19:23,857 --> 05:19:24,107
developing a brain injury

8412
05:19:24,357 --> 05:19:24,607
rehabilitation program

8413
05:19:29,562 --> 05:19:29,812
they have a contact in I

8414
05:19:31,798 --> 05:19:32,048
think it was Colorado with it an

8415
05:19:34,033 --> 05:19:34,283
agency or or an organization

8416
05:19:36,369 --> 05:19:36,619
that works specifically with

8417
05:19:38,304 --> 05:19:38,554
alcohol substance abuse and

8418
05:19:41,841 --> 05:19:42,091
brain injury so I'm working on

8419
05:19:42,642 --> 05:19:42,892
that right now and if we could

8420
05:19:45,612 --> 05:19:45,862
get say that organization to

8421
05:19:48,148 --> 05:19:48,398
come here and set up shop that

8422
05:19:49,816 --> 05:19:50,066
would be great. that would be

8423
05:19:52,051 --> 05:19:52,301
just what we need because that's

8424
05:19:53,820 --> 05:19:54,070
one of the things that's

8425
05:19:54,387 --> 05:19:54,637
identified insenate bill30 is

8426
05:19:58,358 --> 05:19:58,608
a need a recommendation that

8427
05:20:00,059 --> 05:20:00,309
because right now there's no

8428
05:20:01,828 --> 05:20:02,078
place in state everybody sent

8429
05:20:02,495 --> 05:20:02,745
out a state

8430
05:20:05,665 --> 05:20:05,915
for any kind of rehab brain

8431
05:20:06,266 --> 05:20:06,516
injury rehab

8432
05:20:12,105 --> 05:20:12,355
injury rehabilitation injury

8433
05:20:14,140 --> 05:20:14,390
rehabilitation program that's

8434
05:20:15,809 --> 05:20:16,059
one of the recommendations

8435
05:20:18,378 --> 05:20:18,628
because there's nothing in in in

8436
05:20:19,612 --> 05:20:19,862
New Mexico and there needs to be

8437
05:20:23,583 --> 05:20:23,833
but so that's what I mentioned

8438
05:20:24,350 --> 05:20:24,600
to but they say oh that's

8439
05:20:25,819 --> 05:20:26,069
something we could look at so I

8440
05:20:27,687 --> 05:20:27,937
mean see it's this kind of work

8441
05:20:30,056 --> 05:20:30,306
I see that I do to give people

8442
05:20:33,660 --> 05:20:33,910
ideas and reach out and connect

8443
05:20:34,327 --> 05:20:34,577
with people

8444
05:20:39,866 --> 05:20:40,116
but they didn't say no they just

8445
05:20:41,601 --> 05:20:41,851
said then then that's how he

8446
05:20:43,603 --> 05:20:43,853
found out about this the program

8447
05:20:45,538 --> 05:20:45,788
that they know about that works

8448
05:20:46,206 --> 05:20:46,456
with people with brain injuries

8449
05:20:51,845 --> 05:20:52,095
because that would be ideal and

8450
05:20:54,080 --> 05:20:54,330
then we are also working with

8451
05:20:56,082 --> 05:20:56,332
brain injury it's not brain it's

8452
05:20:58,351 --> 05:20:58,601
life skillsternational and

8453
05:21:00,320 --> 05:21:00,570
that's something that I'm hoping

8454
05:21:03,590 --> 05:21:03,840
that Judgeyazi will will bring

8455
05:21:05,592 --> 05:21:05,842
up because we're working on

8456
05:21:06,359 --> 05:21:06,609
identi this this this

8457
05:21:12,065 --> 05:21:12,315
life skillsternational they

8458
05:21:15,835 --> 05:21:16,085
work around the state but it's

8459
05:21:16,503 --> 05:21:16,753
healing childhood trauma

8460
05:21:22,175 --> 05:21:22,425
and curing complex PTSD

8461
05:21:25,812 --> 05:21:26,062
they've got curriculum, they

8462
05:21:27,914 --> 05:21:28,164
work with schools they've worked

8463
05:21:29,883 --> 05:21:30,133
with domestic violence

8464
05:21:32,018 --> 05:21:32,268
organizations with state

8465
05:21:35,922 --> 05:21:36,172
agencies probation so they've

8466
05:21:38,091 --> 05:21:38,341
worked with a number of and so

8467
05:21:39,592 --> 05:21:39,842
that's who we're trying to get

8468
05:21:41,594 --> 05:21:41,844
within our MOU that we're

8469
05:21:44,097 --> 05:21:44,347
working on with with the courts

8470
05:21:48,301 --> 05:21:48,551
is have the courts work with

8471
05:21:50,570 --> 05:21:50,820
life skillsternational and I'm

8472
05:21:51,938 --> 05:21:52,188
hoping that they're going to

8473
05:21:52,505 --> 05:21:52,755
come up and she all kinds of

8474
05:21:53,072 --> 05:21:53,322
great

8475
05:21:56,042 --> 05:21:56,292
things about what they're doing

8476
05:21:59,612 --> 05:21:59,862
but but but this has so much

8477
05:22:00,413 --> 05:22:00,663
potential to solve our problems

8478
05:22:01,080 --> 05:22:01,330
here

8479
05:22:03,817 --> 05:22:04,067
to solve childhood trauma

8480
05:22:09,589 --> 05:22:09,839
and cure complex PTSD and I

8481
05:22:12,025 --> 05:22:12,275
believe in them. I I mean I it's

8482
05:22:14,394 --> 05:22:14,644
it's not just belief but I've

8483
05:22:18,031 --> 05:22:18,281
been involved with hearing and

8484
05:22:21,901 --> 05:22:22,151
working with life skills to

8485
05:22:23,870 --> 05:22:24,120
know that what they're talking

8486
05:22:25,572 --> 05:22:25,822
about is the same thing that I

8487
05:22:28,374 --> 05:22:28,624
talk about but it's finding the

8488
05:22:31,845 --> 05:22:32,095
are really getting to that place

8489
05:22:33,780 --> 05:22:34,030
to where practice you know

8490
05:22:36,316 --> 05:22:36,566
that's what the curriculum

8491
05:22:38,384 --> 05:22:38,634
offers people is a way because

8492
05:22:40,320 --> 05:22:40,570
it's not just it's like with

8493
05:22:43,523 --> 05:22:43,773
mindfulness for example you can

8494
05:22:44,290 --> 05:22:44,540
read about mindfulness and go oh

8495
05:22:46,326 --> 05:22:46,576
yeah that makes sense but you've

8496
05:22:48,328 --> 05:22:48,578
got to practice it you got to

8497
05:22:51,831 --> 05:22:52,081
practice it and so that's what

8498
05:22:53,867 --> 05:22:54,117
life schools International has

8499
05:22:56,402 --> 05:22:56,652
done. they've developed a system

8500
05:22:58,738 --> 05:22:58,988
with a curriculum that makes it

8501
05:22:59,405 --> 05:22:59,655
all happen

8502
05:23:01,941 --> 05:23:02,191
and I'll just leave it up to

8503
05:23:03,710 --> 05:23:03,960
them now to hope I didn't

8504
05:23:10,233 --> 05:23:10,483
thank you and I think the

8505
05:23:11,785 --> 05:23:12,035
well I don't really have

8506
05:23:12,352 --> 05:23:12,602
questions for

8507
05:23:15,588 --> 05:23:15,838
yeah we talked about

8508
05:23:20,393 --> 05:23:20,643
but do have questions for our

8509
05:23:23,530 --> 05:23:23,780
our our state people where this

8510
05:23:24,197 --> 05:23:24,447
is going so

8511
05:23:29,803 --> 05:23:30,053
and about finding in about SB3

8512
05:23:32,071 --> 05:23:32,321
and all of that but stay in the

8513
05:23:32,705 --> 05:23:32,955
stay in the conversation

8514
05:23:34,073 --> 05:23:34,323
continue to advocate that's very

8515
05:23:35,575 --> 05:23:35,825
important especially with this

8516
05:23:44,384 --> 05:23:44,634

8517
05:23:48,154 --> 05:23:48,404
get the notices on some of that

8518
05:23:51,558 --> 05:23:51,808
I believe you were involved with

8519
05:23:52,225 --> 05:23:52,475
some of the planning that

8520
05:23:58,398 --> 05:23:58,648
Wa SB3 I was but I never got

05:23:58,965 --> 05:23:59,215

wintertime it's kind of

8572
05:26:14,734 --> 05:26:14,984
difficult to drive

program has been in fruition

8578
05:26:30,216 --> 05:26:30,466
since 2022 during that time

8579
05:26:34,087 --> 05:26:34,337
we had our program was

8580
05:26:37,857 --> 05:26:38,107
we didn't have a lot of support

8581
05:26:39,859 --> 05:26:40,109
during that time and where we

8582
05:26:40,493 --> 05:26:40,743
were going to lose our funding

8583
05:26:42,162 --> 05:26:42,412
for our DWI treatment program

8584
05:26:44,097 --> 05:26:44,347
and we had to become we had to

8585
05:26:46,366 --> 05:26:46,616

half Navajo and half Sunni

8626

and I've lived in Gallup my

8627
05:28:13,553 --> 05:28:13,803
entire life. My dad was from

8628
05:28:15,822 --> 05:28:16,072

8629
05:28:16,523 --> 05:28:16,773
zuni and was sent to rehobus for

8630
05:28:17,624 --> 05:28:17,874
school.

8631
05:28:20,326 --> 05:28:20,576
and he never moved back to Zunni

8632
05:28:22,562 --> 05:28:22,812
so he he stayed in Gallup was

8633
05:28:25,598 --> 05:28:25,848
part of the medical field he

8634
05:28:26,299 --> 05:28:26,549
was an EMT paramedic and

8635
05:28:27,834 --> 05:28:28,084

05:28:33,573 --> 05:28:33,823
EMS system here inallup here

8638
05:28:34,607 --> 05:28:34,857
in Zunni as well as the Navajo

8639
05:28:37,610 --> 05:28:37,860
Nation. He assisted Sa Benito

8640
05:28:39,813 --> 05:28:40,063
with their EMS services setting

8641
05:28:41,815 --> 05:28:42,065
that up. like I said, I've lived

8642
05:28:43,850 --> 05:28:44,100
here for in gallup for my entire

8643
05:28:45,852 --> 05:28:46,102
life born and raised so my

8644
05:28:47,687 --> 05:28:47,937
community means a lot to me and

8645
05:28:48,321 --> 05:28:48,571
this was

8646
05:28:51,925 --> 05:28:52,175
this is meaningful work to me

8647
05:28:55,829 --> 05:28:56,079
so to follow up on Ju what

8648
05:28:58,031 --> 05:28:58,281
Judgeazzie stated we are very

8649
05:28:59,566 --> 05:28:59,816
thankful that this program is

8650
05:29:02,068 --> 05:29:02,318
still up and going and shenel

8651
05:29:04,137 --> 05:29:04,387
did a lot of work just putting

8652
05:29:05,572 --> 05:29:05,822
it together, getting it

8653
05:29:06,105 --> 05:29:06,355
established, getting it off the

8654
05:29:06,773 --> 05:29:07,023
ground

8655
05:29:10,109 --> 05:29:10,359
came in and picked up where she

8656
05:29:11,811 --> 05:29:12,061
left off so I'm very thankful

8657
05:29:13,646 --> 05:29:13,896
for the work that she did before

8658
05:29:15,815 --> 05:29:16,065
me. as Dojazzy said our first

8659
05:29:17,817 --> 05:29:18,067
participant for the program

8660
05:29:19,819 --> 05:29:20,069
was inducted back in November of

8661
05:29:20,487 --> 05:29:20,737
2022.

8662
05:29:25,592 --> 05:29:25,842
as to date we have graduated16

8663
05:29:26,526 --> 05:29:26,776
of our participants so far.

8664
05:29:29,562 --> 05:29:29,812
total number of participants we

8665
05:29:31,564 --> 05:29:31,814
have served in the program is42.

8666
05:29:34,134 --> 05:29:34,384
so we have had42 participants in

8667
05:29:36,069 --> 05:29:36,319
total since the first induction

8668
05:29:36,703 --> 05:29:36,953
in November of 2022.

8669
05:29:41,574 --> 05:29:41,824
Our current caseload is18. I do

8670
05:29:43,877 --> 05:29:44,127
have17 individuals in person and

8671
05:29:44,577 --> 05:29:44,827
one in extended treatment

8672
05:29:48,081 --> 05:29:48,331
we have had in total 24

8673
05:29:48,648 --> 05:29:48,898
discharges

8674
05:29:51,818 --> 05:29:52,068
seven of these discharges were

8675
05:29:54,154 --> 05:29:54,404
unsuccessful.wo absconded and

8676
05:29:54,854 --> 05:29:55,104
ive were noncompliant.

8677
05:29:58,124 --> 05:29:58,374
There was one neutral discharge

8678
05:29:58,758 --> 05:29:59,008
for medical reasons

8679
05:30:04,063 --> 05:30:04,313
and16 successful discharges. We

8680
05:30:06,099 --> 05:30:06,349
also have 6 participants that

8681
05:30:08,101 --> 05:30:08,351
are scheduled to graduate on

8682
05:30:10,336 --> 05:30:10,586
Monday, September twentyeh

8683
05:30:11,638 --> 05:30:11,888
which will bring our count to

8684
05:30:16,442 --> 05:30:16,692
3030 discharges but 22

8685
05:30:16,876 --> 05:30:17,126
successful graduations.

8686
05:30:19,646 --> 05:30:19,896
we also

8687
05:30:23,616 --> 05:30:23,866
our recidivism rate our graduate

8688
05:30:26,052 --> 05:30:26,302
recidivism rate for fy 26

8689
05:30:28,087 --> 05:30:28,337
is14.29%. However, I was

8690
05:30:31,558 --> 05:30:31,808
informed by my supervisor

8691
05:30:32,292 --> 05:30:32,542
this afternoon as well that we

8692
05:30:34,060 --> 05:30:34,310
are actually below the national

8693
05:30:37,797 --> 05:30:38,047
average for recidivism which is

8694
05:30:40,300 --> 05:30:40,550
a 28 to35% rate three years

8695
05:30:43,636 --> 05:30:43,886
postgrad. so that was very

8696
05:30:45,605 --> 05:30:45,855
very encouraging to hear you

8697
05:30:46,206 --> 05:30:46,456
know

8698
05:30:48,508 --> 05:30:48,758
so that that's those are our

8699
05:30:51,644 --> 05:30:51,894
current numbers now we will

8700
05:30:53,613 --> 05:30:53,863
be accepting new referrals

8701
05:30:55,815 --> 05:30:56,065
probably at the end of the year.

8702
05:30:58,351 --> 05:30:58,601
with discharging six of these

8703
05:31:00,053 --> 05:31:00,303
participants that does bring my

8704
05:31:02,055 --> 05:31:02,305
caseload down to12. So I try to

8705
05:31:04,057 --> 05:31:04,307
keep it roughly about 20 I think

8706
05:31:06,326 --> 05:31:06,576
my largest caseload was about 21

8707
05:31:09,662 --> 05:31:09,912
or 22 individuals but for me to

8708
05:31:10,396 --> 05:31:10,646
oversee them and supervise them

8709
05:31:11,831 --> 05:31:12,081
on my own that's quite a bit so

8710
05:31:13,867 --> 05:31:14,117
I try to cap it out at 20 but

8711
05:31:15,668 --> 05:31:15,918
the more individuals we can help

8712
05:31:16,369 --> 05:31:16,619
you know that's that's the most

8713
05:31:17,036 --> 05:31:17,286
important thing

8714
05:31:19,806 --> 05:31:20,056
so yes those are those are

8715
05:31:21,641 --> 05:31:21,891
some numbers but just to kind of

8716
05:31:22,342 --> 05:31:22,592
give you an idea of our program

8717
05:31:25,545 --> 05:31:25,795
as well we do have a

8718
05:31:26,246 --> 05:31:26,496
multidisciplinary team which

8719
05:31:28,348 --> 05:31:28,598
consists of the judge she

8720
05:31:30,517 --> 05:31:30,767
oversees the program. I'm the

8721
05:31:32,051 --> 05:31:32,301
program manager and coordinator.

8722
05:31:35,855 --> 05:31:36,105
I also do supervision and

8723
05:31:37,824 --> 05:31:38,074
kinda whatever needs to be done,

8724
05:31:39,826 --> 05:31:40,076
I I will switch my hat as

8725
05:31:40,360 --> 05:31:40,610
necessary. We are currently

8726
05:31:44,330 --> 05:31:44,580
contracted withinsu Behavioral

8727
05:31:46,432 --> 05:31:46,682
Health which is a newer agency

8728
05:31:49,602 --> 05:31:49,852
within the community I

8729
05:31:51,838 --> 05:31:52,088
believe they got started about

8730
05:31:53,873 --> 05:31:54,123
I'm a couple of years ago I

8731
05:31:54,440 --> 05:31:54,690
don't want to give an exact

8732
05:31:55,809 --> 05:31:56,059
date. I may be wrong but yes

8733
05:31:56,442 --> 05:31:56,692
they they have been in the

8734
05:31:58,111 --> 05:31:58,361
community for I want to say

8735
05:32:01,848 --> 05:32:02,098
about5 years or so we were

8736
05:32:03,583 --> 05:32:03,833
previously contracted with our

8737
05:32:05,819 --> 05:32:06,069
Corners or Santa Ferecovery as

8738
05:32:06,586 --> 05:32:06,836
they're now known. we still have

8739
05:32:08,354 --> 05:32:08,604
an MOUis four corners here for

8740
05:32:11,624 --> 05:32:11,874
our inpatient residential so

8741
05:32:12,258 --> 05:32:12,508
we're able to send particip

8742
05:32:14,093 --> 05:32:14,343
ant s that are qualified for

8743
05:32:16,095 --> 05:32:16,345
inpatient here to wind I'm

8744
05:32:17,831 --> 05:32:18,081
sorry here to our corners here

8745
05:32:20,066 --> 05:32:20,316
in Gallup. and still working

8746
05:32:22,335 --> 05:32:22,585
withinsung as well. We also did

8747
05:32:24,537 --> 05:32:24,787
develop an MOU as Ken said

8748
05:32:27,607 --> 05:32:27,857
withhozhouenter for Personal

8749
05:32:28,575 --> 05:32:28,825
Enhancement. So we are

8750
05:32:33,580 --> 05:32:33,830
we are hoping that we can well

8751
05:32:34,547 --> 05:32:34,797
not hoping this is what our plan

8752
05:32:36,382 --> 05:32:36,632
is is we're gonna start to

8753
05:32:38,084 --> 05:32:38,334
incorporate more healing to

8754
05:32:39,586 --> 05:32:39,836
wellness what's called healing

8755
05:32:40,320 --> 05:32:40,570
to wellness and what that is is

8756
05:32:42,355 --> 05:32:42,605
basically traditional healing.

8757
05:32:45,525 --> 05:32:45,775
so we can utilize their

8758
05:32:46,493 --> 05:32:46,743
serviceshozhouenter services

8759
05:32:49,629 --> 05:32:49,879
such as their hoon for any type

8760
05:32:51,831 --> 05:32:52,081
of meetings and also their

8761
05:32:54,100 --> 05:32:54,350
well brady talking circle so

8762
05:32:56,069 --> 05:32:56,319
those are some more options for

8763
05:32:57,871 --> 05:32:58,121
our participants who want to

8764
05:32:59,639 --> 05:32:59,889
stay engaged with traditional

8765
05:33:00,306 --> 05:33:00,556
practices and it also opens

8766
05:33:03,576 --> 05:33:03,826
up the cultural and

8767
05:33:06,112 --> 05:33:06,362
traditional component for those

8768
05:33:08,114 --> 05:33:08,364
individuals who maybe grew up

8769
05:33:09,849 --> 05:33:10,099
without that connection without

8770
05:33:11,551 --> 05:33:11,801
that tie and now they're they're

8771
05:33:12,318 --> 05:33:12,568
looking for something they're

8772
05:33:14,087 --> 05:33:14,337
searching you know for

8773
05:33:16,122 --> 05:33:16,372
spirituality and that's

8774
05:33:17,557 --> 05:33:17,807
another option for them so we

8775
05:33:19,826 --> 05:33:20,076
encourage them to stay connected

8776
05:33:20,527 --> 05:33:20,777
with their traditions and

8777
05:33:23,830 --> 05:33:24,080
developing that MOU withhozi was

8778
05:33:25,799 --> 05:33:26,049
a way for us to do that and

8779
05:33:27,600 --> 05:33:27,850
provide those for our

8780
05:33:29,536 --> 05:33:29,786
participants. we also have an

8781
05:33:30,537 --> 05:33:30,787
alumni support group that I

8782
05:33:31,805 --> 05:33:32,055
would like to highlight because

8783
05:33:33,807 --> 05:33:34,057
I think our alumni support group

8784
05:33:34,541 --> 05:33:34,791
is a very important part of our

8785
05:33:35,241 --> 05:33:35,491
program

8786
05:33:38,044 --> 05:33:38,294
the alumni support group

8787
05:33:40,513 --> 05:33:40,763
consists of graduates of the

8788
05:33:41,080 --> 05:33:41,330
program

8789
05:33:44,551 --> 05:33:44,801
and they they the train

8790
05:33:46,085 --> 05:33:46,335
coordinators we have4 trained

8791
05:33:47,821 --> 05:33:48,071
coordinators so they went

8792
05:33:49,556 --> 05:33:49,806
through the training process to

8793
05:33:51,558 --> 05:33:51,808
become a coordinator learning

8794
05:33:52,325 --> 05:33:52,575
about ethics learning about

8795
05:33:53,860 --> 05:33:54,110
boundaries learning how to

8796
05:33:55,829 --> 05:33:56,079
conduct a group appropriately.

8797
05:33:57,597 --> 05:33:57,847
so we do have4 trained

8798
05:33:59,632 --> 05:33:59,882
coordinators for our program

8799
05:34:01,601 --> 05:34:01,851
to our contracted with the state

8800
05:34:03,603 --> 05:34:03,853
of New Mexico and two are

8801
05:34:05,538 --> 05:34:05,788
pending graduation at after

8802
05:34:06,339 --> 05:34:06,589
graduation they will be

8803
05:34:07,841 --> 05:34:08,091
contracted. So out of those six

8804
05:34:09,609 --> 05:34:09,859
graduates we have on Monday

8805
05:34:10,410 --> 05:34:10,660
two of them are ready to

8806
05:34:11,811 --> 05:34:12,061
contract with the state of New

8807
05:34:12,479 --> 05:34:12,729
Mexico as alumni coordinators

8808
05:34:16,049 --> 05:34:16,299
we hold our alumni support group

8809
05:34:18,284 --> 05:34:18,534
at the courthouse before ourDWI

8810
05:34:20,353 --> 05:34:20,603
treatment court docket. it's an

8811
05:34:22,322 --> 05:34:22,572
hourlong, just basically a

8812
05:34:24,290 --> 05:34:24,540
recovery group something where

8813
05:34:26,326 --> 05:34:26,576
they it I guess it could be

8814
05:34:28,094 --> 05:34:28,344
equated to something similar to

8815
05:34:30,296 --> 05:34:30,546
like a maybe an AA group a

8816
05:34:32,098 --> 05:34:32,348
support group but it's also just

8817
05:34:33,867 --> 05:34:34,117
a safe space for them to

8818
05:34:36,102 --> 05:34:36,352
share and

8819
05:34:40,273 --> 05:34:40,523
just you know kind of reflect on

8820
05:34:42,041 --> 05:34:42,291
things together as a whole.

8821
05:34:43,810 --> 05:34:44,060
Again, these are participants of

8822
05:34:45,812 --> 05:34:46,062
the program both previously and

8823
05:34:46,546 --> 05:34:46,796
current. and this is only for

8824
05:34:47,881 --> 05:34:48,131
our participants of the

8825
05:34:49,849 --> 05:34:50,099
treatment court programme. So I

8826
05:34:50,550 --> 05:34:50,800
always tell the participants you

8827
05:34:52,051 --> 05:34:52,301
know it's a safe place. please

8828
05:34:55,588 --> 05:34:55,838
go and attend if you want to

8829
05:34:56,189 --> 05:34:56,439
vent about the program you want

8830
05:34:57,857 --> 05:34:58,107
to vent about me you know that's

8831
05:34:58,625 --> 05:34:58,875
a safe place it's it's all

8832
05:35:00,093 --> 05:35:00,343
confidential our alumni

8833
05:35:01,594 --> 05:35:01,844
coordinators do keep it

8834
05:35:03,630 --> 05:35:03,880
confidential and are only

8835
05:35:05,832 --> 05:35:06,082
required to for mandated

8836
05:35:06,366 --> 05:35:06,616
reporting so our participants

8837
05:35:07,033 --> 05:35:07,283
have

8838
05:35:09,803 --> 05:35:10,053
really enjoyed that and I

8839
05:35:11,838 --> 05:35:12,088
appreciate our two trained

8840
05:35:13,606 --> 05:35:13,856
coordinators that are contracted

8841
05:35:15,775 --> 05:35:16,025
Tyrone Castillo and Duane

8842
05:35:18,077 --> 05:35:18,327
Chamani. when I came on for this

8843
05:35:21,581 --> 05:35:21,831
program officially came on I

8844
05:35:22,315 --> 05:35:22,565
over I started to oversee the

8845
05:35:23,616 --> 05:35:23,866
program in February of

8846
05:35:28,054 --> 05:35:28,304
2024 and then started with the

8847
05:35:29,622 --> 05:35:29,872
state of New Mexico became a

8848
05:35:30,323 --> 05:35:30,573
permanent employee in September

8849
05:35:33,827 --> 05:35:34,077
of 2024 as well. So within that

8850
05:35:35,628 --> 05:35:35,878
time I was just overseeing

8851
05:35:36,596 --> 05:35:36,846
the program and working for the

8852
05:35:37,297 --> 05:35:37,547
compliance program with

8853
05:35:40,033 --> 05:35:40,283
McKinley County. once I was

8854
05:35:42,068 --> 05:35:42,318
officially in my position as the

8855
05:35:43,803 --> 05:35:44,053
program manager, the first thing

8856
05:35:45,605 --> 05:35:45,855
that I told my supervisor was I

8857
05:35:46,306 --> 05:35:46,556
want to get the alumni group

8858
05:35:47,874 --> 05:35:48,124
going. We know we need to have

8859
05:35:48,541 --> 05:35:48,791
some support for our

8860
05:35:51,811 --> 05:35:52,061
participants as well. and I

8861
05:35:52,412 --> 05:35:52,662
put the offer out there to our

8862
05:35:54,047 --> 05:35:54,297
previous graduates and

8863
05:35:55,849 --> 05:35:56,099
thankfullyduane and Tyrone did

8864
05:35:57,951 --> 05:35:58,201
step up and you know offered to

8865
05:35:58,618 --> 05:35:58,868
help me so they've been employed

8866
05:35:59,853 --> 05:36:00,103
with the state probably just as

8867
05:36:02,122 --> 05:36:02,372
long as I have but I I have a

8868
05:36:04,290 --> 05:36:04,540
deep appreciation for them

8869
05:36:06,392 --> 05:36:06,642
Tyrone in the meantime has

8870
05:36:06,960 --> 05:36:07,210
advanced his education

8871
05:36:10,029 --> 05:36:10,279
and is enrolled with the UNM and

8872
05:36:13,600 --> 05:36:13,850
looking to pursue a career in

8873
05:36:14,334 --> 05:36:14,584
the behavioral health field as

8874
05:36:16,536 --> 05:36:16,786
well he's doing great things and

8875
05:36:18,371 --> 05:36:18,621
working with peer peer

8876
05:36:20,240 --> 05:36:20,490
members from thehozhou uhenter

8877
05:36:23,676 --> 05:36:23,926
as well and thenduanne is also

8878
05:36:24,310 --> 05:36:24,560
our

8879
05:36:26,312 --> 05:36:26,562
our other coordinator he is from

8880
05:36:29,616 --> 05:36:29,866
Zunni as well and he stays in

8881
05:36:31,551 --> 05:36:31,801
contact with celebrate recovery

8882
05:36:32,552 --> 05:36:32,802
and you know kind of keeps the

8883
05:36:34,087 --> 05:36:34,337
recovery group going within the

8884
05:36:36,356 --> 05:36:36,606
unique community and our our

8885
05:36:38,091 --> 05:36:38,341
community here within Gallup and

8886
05:36:39,559 --> 05:36:39,809
then also being a part of our

8887
05:36:40,326 --> 05:36:40,576
alumni group as well. So I'm

8888
05:36:42,128 --> 05:36:42,378
very thankful for these

8889
05:36:44,197 --> 05:36:44,447
individuals and I think peer

8890
05:36:45,598 --> 05:36:45,848
support is you know the other

8891
05:36:47,567 --> 05:36:47,817
half of what makes our program

8892
05:36:49,869 --> 05:36:50,119
work. being able to have peers

8893
05:36:51,838 --> 05:36:52,088
available for our participants

8894
05:36:52,438 --> 05:36:52,688
that understand what they're

8895
05:36:53,840 --> 05:36:54,090
going through, understand how

8896
05:36:54,407 --> 05:36:54,657
difficult the

8897
05:36:57,811 --> 05:36:58,061
program can be and but they

8898
05:36:59,646 --> 05:36:59,896
can say they did it you know

8899
05:37:00,280 --> 05:37:00,530
they made it they struggled

8900
05:37:02,315 --> 05:37:02,565
through it so whatever support

8901
05:37:03,817 --> 05:37:04,067
they and motivation they can

8902
05:37:05,885 --> 05:37:06,135
offer our participants we we

8903
05:37:06,519 --> 05:37:06,769
extremely are appreciative of it

8904
05:37:12,058 --> 05:37:12,308
and then like I said just a it's

8905
05:37:14,027 --> 05:37:14,277
just a kind of a rundown of how

8906
05:37:16,329 --> 05:37:16,579
our how our program works I'm

8907
05:37:17,831 --> 05:37:18,081
not sure if you all are you know

8908
05:37:19,566 --> 05:37:19,816
familiar with treatment courts

8909
05:37:20,233 --> 05:37:20,483
but we do have a

8910
05:37:22,335 --> 05:37:22,585
multidisciplinary team that

8911
05:37:22,936 --> 05:37:23,186
consists of the

8912
05:37:26,372 --> 05:37:26,622
the judge myself probation

8913
05:37:28,041 --> 05:37:28,291
officers from the compliance

8914
05:37:30,043 --> 05:37:30,293
program our treatment providers

8915
05:37:32,378 --> 05:37:32,628
as well as we have a

8916
05:37:34,347 --> 05:37:34,597
contracted defense counsel for

8917
05:37:36,316 --> 05:37:36,566
our for our participants. So our

8918
05:37:39,586 --> 05:37:39,836
defense counsel is our go to for

8919
05:37:40,353 --> 05:37:40,603
our participants if there's any

8920
05:37:42,288 --> 05:37:42,538
noncompliance, if there's you

8921
05:37:43,790 --> 05:37:44,040
know any kind of questions,

8922
05:37:45,592 --> 05:37:45,842
anything like that our defense

8923
05:37:47,594 --> 05:37:47,844
counsel makes sure that we're

8924
05:37:49,863 --> 05:37:50,113
abiding by all legal proceedings

8925
05:37:51,664 --> 05:37:51,914
and you know not violating

8926
05:37:52,198 --> 05:37:52,448
anybody's rights so they are the

8927
05:37:52,899 --> 05:37:53,149
advocate for our participants

8928
05:37:53,566 --> 05:37:53,816
and our participant

8929
05:37:56,102 --> 05:37:56,352
s know that and they will call

8930
05:37:59,606 --> 05:37:59,856
her they you know we've we're

8931
05:38:00,273 --> 05:38:00,523
going through a transition right

8932
05:38:02,008 --> 05:38:02,258
now and there was some issues

8933
05:38:04,010 --> 05:38:04,260
regarding UAs and of course you

8934
05:38:06,312 --> 05:38:06,562
know you a's are always gonna

8935
05:38:08,314 --> 05:38:08,564
make our participants nervous

8936
05:38:10,350 --> 05:38:10,600
you know if there may be like

8937
05:38:11,818 --> 05:38:12,068
false positives or whatever so

8938
05:38:13,586 --> 05:38:13,836
they contacted their defense

8939
05:38:15,622 --> 05:38:15,872
counsel but this was a great

8940
05:38:16,356 --> 05:38:16,606
illustration of our

8941
05:38:17,824 --> 05:38:18,074
participant's learning to

8942
05:38:19,592 --> 05:38:19,842
advocate for themselves. so that

8943
05:38:22,128 --> 05:38:22,378
was a great way for us to say

8944
05:38:22,729 --> 05:38:22,979
you know you're doing what

8945
05:38:23,296 --> 05:38:23,546
you're supposed to be doing and

8946
05:38:23,930 --> 05:38:24,180
and they

8947
05:38:25,565 --> 05:38:25,815
' re you know they're being

8948
05:38:27,634 --> 05:38:27,884
heard and somebody is advocating

8949
05:38:28,368 --> 05:38:28,618
for them and some of these

8950
05:38:28,968 --> 05:38:29,218
things are

8951
05:38:33,573 --> 05:38:33,823
are participants have never had

8952
05:38:35,575 --> 05:38:35,825
to do this before or they may be

8953
05:38:37,577 --> 05:38:37,827
scared they may not know how to

8954
05:38:38,311 --> 05:38:38,561
go about it. They just kind of

8955
05:38:39,612 --> 05:38:39,862
roll with the punches they've

8956
05:38:40,380 --> 05:38:40,630
been in the legal system for so

8957
05:38:42,081 --> 05:38:42,331
long they just do what they're

8958
05:38:43,850 --> 05:38:44,100
told but so we're we're showing

8959
05:38:45,552 --> 05:38:45,802
them to advocate for themselves

8960
05:38:46,319 --> 05:38:46,569
and then to touch a little bit

8961
05:38:48,321 --> 05:38:48,571
on a life skills that Ken was

8962
05:38:50,190 --> 05:38:50,440
talking about. We do have

8963
05:38:51,591 --> 05:38:51,841
certain curriculums that they

8964
05:38:52,258 --> 05:38:52,508
are required to

8965
05:38:56,129 --> 05:38:56,379
complete the treatment component

8966
05:38:57,831 --> 05:38:58,081
is through the entirety of the

8967
05:38:59,599 --> 05:38:59,849
program so as soon as we get

8968
05:39:01,601 --> 05:39:01,851
them in they're going for IopP

8969
05:39:02,368 --> 05:39:02,618
which is intensive outpatient a

8970
05:39:05,572 --> 05:39:05,822
90da program. Once they complete

8971
05:39:07,874 --> 05:39:08,124
that they step down to what is

8972
05:39:09,676 --> 05:39:09,926
called moral recognition therapy

8973
05:39:11,878 --> 05:39:12,128
and that is where we see the

8974
05:39:14,114 --> 05:39:14,364
change happening and it is it

8975
05:39:16,382 --> 05:39:16,632
it'si do not have the words for

8976
05:39:18,118 --> 05:39:18,368
it. I have been meeting with our

8977
05:39:20,353 --> 05:39:20,603
graduates today and tomorrow

8978
05:39:21,888 --> 05:39:22,138
I will be meeting with our ix

8979
05:39:22,489 --> 05:39:22,739
graduates for their final

8980
05:39:23,056 --> 05:39:23,306
check-ins

8981
05:39:26,192 --> 05:39:26,442
and I met with three today and

8982
05:39:26,826 --> 05:39:27,076
it was very emotional

8983
05:39:28,161 --> 05:39:28,411
just to see

8984
05:39:31,798 --> 05:39:32,048
the person who sat in front of

8985
05:39:33,833 --> 05:39:34,083
me when I sold them on the on

8986
05:39:35,835 --> 05:39:36,085
the program and screened them

8987
05:39:37,604 --> 05:39:37,854
and told them hey you qualify

8988
05:39:38,238 --> 05:39:38,488
you know do you want to take

8989
05:39:40,106 --> 05:39:40,356
this opportunity versus who I

8990
05:39:42,108 --> 05:39:42,358
see sitting in front of me. for

8991
05:39:43,877 --> 05:39:44,127
example one of my participants

8992
05:39:45,845 --> 05:39:46,095
my female participants came in

8993
05:39:47,614 --> 05:39:47,864
and I had her on probation at

8994
05:39:48,214 --> 05:39:48,464
compliance so she kind of

8995
05:39:50,350 --> 05:39:50,600
followed me over. I knew her

8996
05:39:53,620 --> 05:39:53,870
backstory. I knew there was

8997
05:39:54,387 --> 05:39:54,637
noncompliance and what the

8998
05:39:55,822 --> 05:39:56,072
issues were you know housing

8999
05:39:56,422 --> 05:39:56,672
environment stuff like that she

9000
05:39:57,924 --> 05:39:58,174
was in a bad environment

9001
05:40:00,660 --> 05:40:00,910
now

9002
05:40:03,930 --> 05:40:04,180
I met with her today and I was

9003
05:40:05,832 --> 05:40:06,082
so happy just that that was my

9004
05:40:07,834 --> 05:40:08,084
first checkin today and it was

9005
05:40:09,836 --> 05:40:10,086
very emotional for many reasons.

9006
05:40:11,838 --> 05:40:12,088
Within this program she has

9007
05:40:13,606 --> 05:40:13,856
obtained her own housing. She

9008
05:40:15,608 --> 05:40:15,858
has moved out from living with

9009
05:40:17,577 --> 05:40:17,827
her family, which was the toxic

9010
05:40:18,278 --> 05:40:18,528
environment and she was able to

9011
05:40:21,614 --> 05:40:21,864
obtain housing on her own not

9012
05:40:22,348 --> 05:40:22,598
just one apartment she found an

9013
05:40:24,083 --> 05:40:24,333
apartment you know wasn't the

9014
05:40:25,852 --> 05:40:26,102
right place for her, didn't work

9015
05:40:28,087 --> 05:40:28,337
out for her finances and she

9016
05:40:29,889 --> 05:40:30,139
found another apartment and just

9017
05:40:30,523 --> 05:40:30,773
continued to motivate herself

9018
05:40:32,225 --> 05:40:32,475
and following up on these

9019
05:40:34,294 --> 05:40:34,544
applications and so she's where

9020
05:40:36,062 --> 05:40:36,312
she needs to be in a good

9021
05:40:37,831 --> 05:40:38,081
environment a nice neighborhood,

9022
05:40:40,166 --> 05:40:40,416
safe house, she does have

9023
05:40:42,135 --> 05:40:42,385
custody of one of her daughters

9024
05:40:43,837 --> 05:40:44,087
and is working on regaining

9025
05:40:45,605 --> 05:40:45,855
custody of the other daughter.

9026
05:40:47,607 --> 05:40:47,857
She told me today that she is

9027
05:40:49,542 --> 05:40:49,792
has the younger daughter who she

9028
05:40:50,510 --> 05:40:50,760
does not have custody of.

9029
05:40:51,845 --> 05:40:52,095
she's able to bring her over on

9030
05:40:53,880 --> 05:40:54,130
the weekends and she's

9031
05:40:55,648 --> 05:40:55,898
planning on keeping her for the

9032
05:40:57,617 --> 05:40:57,867
fall break and just working up

9033
05:40:59,619 --> 05:40:59,869
to eventually petitioning for

9034
05:41:00,286 --> 05:41:00,536
custody again. so very proud of

9035
05:41:00,954 --> 05:41:01,204
her but

9036
05:41:02,322 --> 05:41:02,572
like I said to see the

9037
05:41:04,090 --> 05:41:04,340
individual who sat in who sat in

9038
05:41:05,558 --> 05:41:05,808
front of me this morning who

9039
05:41:07,560 --> 05:41:07,810
sits who who sits in front of me

9040
05:41:09,896 --> 05:41:10,146
you know big change, major

9041
05:41:12,098 --> 05:41:12,348
life changes attitude and that's

9042
05:41:14,267 --> 05:41:14,517
one thing I think we can all say

9043
05:41:17,570 --> 05:41:17,820
we we don't like to be told hey

9044
05:41:19,572 --> 05:41:19,822
you've got an attitude you know

9045
05:41:20,507 --> 05:41:20,757
don't be like that but these are

9046
05:41:22,075 --> 05:41:22,325
things we have to tell our

9047
05:41:24,077 --> 05:41:24,327
participants because it's a it's

9048
05:41:26,312 --> 05:41:26,562
a whole change you know full

9049
05:41:29,616 --> 05:41:29,866
circle so and they get it they

9050
05:41:30,250 --> 05:41:30,500
really do get it and I think

9051
05:41:30,917 --> 05:41:31,167
that moral recognition the

9052
05:41:32,585 --> 05:41:32,835
ra p y does help just to

9053
05:41:36,523 --> 05:41:36,773
encourage accountability and

9054
05:41:38,057 --> 05:41:38,307
that's one of the biggest things

9055
05:41:39,793 --> 05:41:40,043
that helps them is just being

9056
05:41:42,295 --> 05:41:42,545
able to say yes I did that. I'm

9057
05:41:44,297 --> 05:41:44,547
sorry let's make amends and

9058
05:41:46,065 --> 05:41:46,315
let's move on from it and that's

9059
05:41:47,834 --> 05:41:48,084
what moral recognition therapy

9060
05:41:48,568 --> 05:41:48,818
does a lot with their family as

9061
05:41:50,069 --> 05:41:50,319
well so we're seeing

9062
05:41:52,105 --> 05:41:52,355
relationships being rebuilt with

9063
05:41:54,073 --> 05:41:54,323
the family with the kids you

9064
05:41:56,042 --> 05:41:56,292
know and these are trust is lost

9065
05:41:57,911 --> 05:41:58,161
you know so that's a hard thing

9066
05:41:59,612 --> 05:41:59,862
to regain that trust with your

9067
05:42:00,313 --> 05:42:00,563
family but also with your

9068
05:42:02,315 --> 05:42:02,565
children and this participant

9069
05:42:02,949 --> 05:42:03,199
did tell me this morning

9070
05:42:06,085 --> 05:42:06,335
I had a moment of realization

9071
05:42:08,087 --> 05:42:08,337
this weekend of course because

9072
05:42:09,589 --> 05:42:09,839
there was the blackout you know

9073
05:42:11,558 --> 05:42:11,808
we had no utilities for quite a

9074
05:42:12,225 --> 05:42:12,475
while so she was sitting there

9075
05:42:14,093 --> 05:42:14,343
and she said my girls had a

9076
05:42:15,795 --> 05:42:16,045
little dance party in the living

9077
05:42:16,429 --> 05:42:16,679
room. they brought out their

9078
05:42:17,597 --> 05:42:17,847
glow sticks. they brought out

9079
05:42:18,298 --> 05:42:18,548
their little lights they had the

9080
05:42:20,099 --> 05:42:20,349
the phone going you know so they

9081
05:42:21,601 --> 05:42:21,851
had a little dance party she

9082
05:42:22,168 --> 05:42:22,418
goes and I took a step back

9083
05:42:23,203 --> 05:42:23,453
and

9084
05:42:26,606 --> 05:42:26,856
I just she goes it was just like

9085
05:42:28,107 --> 05:42:28,357
one of those being in the moment

9086
05:42:30,043 --> 05:42:30,293
moments where she was in her own

9087
05:42:32,278 --> 05:42:32,528
place at her kitchen table. herr

9088
05:42:34,047 --> 05:42:34,297
girls were here with her and

9089
05:42:37,584 --> 05:42:37,834
they were safe and what got me

9090
05:42:38,284 --> 05:42:38,534
what got me right in the heart

9091
05:42:39,552 --> 05:42:39,802
was she said and my girls knew

9092
05:42:40,253 --> 05:42:40,503
they were safe.

9093
05:42:44,124 --> 05:42:44,374
intoxicated they didn't have to

9094
05:42:46,359 --> 05:42:46,609
worry about mom and they weren't

9095
05:42:48,261 --> 05:42:48,511
there taking care of each other

9096
05:42:50,096 --> 05:42:50,346
because I was not in the right

9097
05:42:51,865 --> 05:42:52,115
state of mind. Oh it it makes me

9098
05:42:53,566 --> 05:42:53,816
emotional now but you know to

9099
05:42:54,267 --> 05:42:54,517
hear her say that was like

9100
05:42:58,138 --> 05:42:58,388
wow I have no other words for it

9101
05:43:00,340 --> 05:43:00,590
than wow you know and I I just

9102
05:43:02,342 --> 05:43:02,592
told her I wish I had all the

9103
05:43:04,077 --> 05:43:04,327
words in the world to tell you

9104
05:43:06,079 --> 05:43:06,329
how proud of you I am and one

9105
05:43:08,081 --> 05:43:08,331
thing I do tell them is there's

9106
05:43:10,350 --> 05:43:10,600
a lot life is hard we all know

9107
05:43:12,352 --> 05:43:12,602
life is hard. This may be the

9108
05:43:13,820 --> 05:43:14,070
hardest thing you've done in

9109
05:43:14,487 --> 05:43:14,737
your life and if it is

9110
05:43:15,955 --> 05:43:16,205
congratulations you did it

9111
05:43:19,759 --> 05:43:20,009
You are doing it so don't ever

9112
05:43:21,561 --> 05:43:21,811
doubt yourself and know that you

9113
05:43:22,462 --> 05:43:22,712
can do hard things in life you

9114
05:43:24,364 --> 05:43:24,614
know it's just about asking for

9115
05:43:26,332 --> 05:43:26,582
help and finding the right

9116
05:43:28,067 --> 05:43:28,317
people to support you and I

9117
05:43:30,003 --> 05:43:30,253
think that's where our team

9118
05:43:32,071 --> 05:43:32,321
comes in, our empathy and our

9119
05:43:34,307 --> 05:43:34,557
compassion from the judge from

9120
05:43:35,608 --> 05:43:35,858
myself, from our

9121
05:43:37,577 --> 05:43:37,827
multidisciplinary team and most

9122
05:43:39,612 --> 05:43:39,862
s most especially from our peers

9123
05:43:49,589 --> 05:43:49,839
Well and again that was a big

9124
05:43:51,591 --> 05:43:51,841
rundown but ok

9125
05:43:53,893 --> 05:43:54,143
but I'm glad again that Danielle

9126
05:43:55,595 --> 05:43:55,845
shared with us again our success

9127
05:43:57,664 --> 05:43:57,914
in our program. We again

9128
05:43:58,231 --> 05:43:58,481
treatment works

9129
05:44:01,601 --> 05:44:01,851
if you listen if you believe you

9130
05:44:03,603 --> 05:44:03,853
have empathy and compassion for

9131
05:44:05,839 --> 05:44:06,089
your community right now again

9132
05:44:06,473 --> 05:44:06,723

9133
05:44:10,076 --> 05:44:10,326
participants were100% Native

9134
05:44:11,845 --> 05:44:12,095
American. they're all DWI

9135
05:44:12,412 --> 05:44:12,662
related

9136
05:44:15,849 --> 05:44:16,099
everyone who's in our program

9137
05:44:18,017 --> 05:44:18,267

9138
05:44:20,253 --> 05:44:20,503
again we're doing our best again

9139
05:44:22,122 --> 05:44:22,372
and we have we have had two

9140
05:44:24,324 --> 05:44:24,574
gentlemen who've asked me to

9141
05:44:26,092 --> 05:44:26,342
throw them in jail put them in

9142
05:44:28,128 --> 05:44:28,378
jail and I told him I'm not

9143
05:44:30,063 --> 05:44:30,313
giving up on you I'm not gonna

9144
05:44:31,898 --> 05:44:32,148
give you that leeway and I'm not

9145
05:44:32,599 --> 05:44:32,849
gonna place you in custody

9146
05:44:33,833 --> 05:44:34,083
you're gonna finish this program

9147
05:44:35,869 --> 05:44:36,119
so what now the when she

9148
05:44:37,804 --> 05:44:38,054
mentioned Mr Tyrone Castillo

9149
05:44:39,606 --> 05:44:39,856
who's now our alumni

9150
05:44:41,875 --> 05:44:42,125
coordinator. thanks me everyday

9151
05:44:42,542 --> 05:44:42,792
almost every every time we have

9152
05:44:43,209 --> 05:44:43,459
our

9153
05:44:45,845 --> 05:44:46,095
our our session that he's very

9154
05:44:47,614 --> 05:44:47,864
thankful because he's on the

9155
05:44:48,314 --> 05:44:48,564
right path and he's becoming

9156
05:44:48,915 --> 05:44:49,165
successful

9157
05:44:52,385 --> 05:44:52,635
again and he was one of those

9158
05:44:54,087 --> 05:44:54,337
gentleman again who I guess you

9159
05:44:55,588 --> 05:44:55,838
would see out on the street who

9160
05:44:56,389 --> 05:44:56,639
was like thuglike I guess you

9161
05:44:58,124 --> 05:44:58,374
could say that he would have a

9162
05:45:02,095 --> 05:45:02,345
thug life and a gangster but he

9163
05:45:04,097 --> 05:45:04,347
phased out of it and now he's

9164
05:45:05,865 --> 05:45:06,115
become a man and he's become a

9165
05:45:07,634 --> 05:45:07,884
better man man for himself and

9166
05:45:08,334 --> 05:45:08,584
his mother so

9167
05:45:10,570 --> 05:45:10,820
that was a successful story for

9168
05:45:14,073 --> 05:45:14,323
us again and his mom he she came

9169
05:45:16,075 --> 05:45:16,325
to the graduation and she was

9170
05:45:17,777 --> 05:45:18,027
very grateful to see her son

9171
05:45:18,378 --> 05:45:18,628
again

9172
05:45:23,850 --> 05:45:24,100
and she she shed some tears

9173
05:45:25,819 --> 05:45:26,069
and very she was very emotional

9174
05:45:27,587 --> 05:45:27,837
with who she saw and then of

9175
05:45:28,354 --> 05:45:28,604
course we'd had an emotional

9176
05:45:30,323 --> 05:45:30,573
other graduates who had their

9177
05:45:31,858 --> 05:45:32,108
parents come through and again

9178
05:45:33,593 --> 05:45:33,843
those stories are emotional as

9179
05:45:36,129 --> 05:45:36,379
well so again treatment works

9180
05:45:38,331 --> 05:45:38,581
but again you have to believe

9181
05:45:41,601 --> 05:45:41,851
and again leadership have to

9182
05:45:42,268 --> 05:45:42,518
believe as well

9183
05:45:43,870 --> 05:45:44,120
people can change

9184
05:45:47,841 --> 05:45:48,091
again and this is our community

9185
05:45:49,576 --> 05:45:49,826
and we want to make our

9186
05:45:51,611 --> 05:45:51,861
community better we want to heal

9187
05:45:53,613 --> 05:45:53,863
our young kids that are walking

9188
05:45:54,314 --> 05:45:54,564
the streets and again

9189
05:45:58,118 --> 05:45:58,368
older older again older

9190
05:45:59,986 --> 05:46:00,236
generation as well who

9191
05:46:01,621 --> 05:46:01,871
experienced again childhood

9192
05:46:06,059 --> 05:46:06,309
trauma again historical

9193
05:46:08,628 --> 05:46:08,878
trauma and that's where we stand

9194
05:46:09,295 --> 05:46:09,545
with this program and

9195
05:46:13,600 --> 05:46:13,850
we're very thankful for what

9196
05:46:14,367 --> 05:46:14,617
we've accomplished right now in

9197
05:46:16,069 --> 05:46:16,319
this program and we're thankful

9198
05:46:18,071 --> 05:46:18,321
for the support of you all again

9199
05:46:20,273 --> 05:46:20,523
as leaderships as well and again

9200
05:46:22,542 --> 05:46:22,792
we want to continue we want your

9201
05:46:24,344 --> 05:46:24,594
continued support again from us

9202
05:46:26,079 --> 05:46:26,329
that's all we're asking of

9203
05:46:27,614 --> 05:46:27,864
course to give you updates and

9204
05:46:28,314 --> 05:46:28,564
again your support that's about

9205
05:46:30,283 --> 05:46:30,533
it so again we appreciate the

9206
05:46:33,586 --> 05:46:33,836
invitation and I hope again you

9207
05:46:34,287 --> 05:46:34,537
again you're satisfied with the

9208
05:46:35,889 --> 05:46:36,139
update and we're again we're

9209
05:46:36,523 --> 05:46:36,773
gonna continue to do our work

9210
05:46:39,626 --> 05:46:39,876
we appreciate the invitation.

9211
05:46:40,293 --> 05:46:40,543
thank you.

9212
05:46:41,628 --> 05:46:41,878
thank you and question

9213
05:46:45,632 --> 05:46:45,882
so our new member

9214
05:46:54,140 --> 05:46:54,390
I think for our new members

9215
05:46:56,075 --> 05:46:56,325
this has been something we've

9216
05:46:58,111 --> 05:46:58,361
worked on with Judge Yazley

9217
05:47:00,346 --> 05:47:00,596
to them coming forward with

9218
05:47:03,616 --> 05:47:03,866
Chanel and just really hearing

9219
05:47:04,250 --> 05:47:04,500
the program and how they

9220
05:47:07,854 --> 05:47:08,104
developed it to really meet the

9221
05:47:09,522 --> 05:47:09,772
needs of those that were I mean

9222
05:47:11,558 --> 05:47:11,808
there's some restrictions on it

9223
05:47:12,192 --> 05:47:12,442
because they knew like

9224
05:47:13,660 --> 05:47:13,910
how far away will they

9225
05:47:18,298 --> 05:47:18,548
that they weren't setting them

9226
05:47:19,666 --> 05:47:19,916
up for failure and all those

9227
05:47:20,233 --> 05:47:20,483
things

9228
05:47:26,406 --> 05:47:26,656
mention it but it was really

9229
05:47:28,107 --> 05:47:28,357
eye opening because some people

9230
05:47:28,741 --> 05:47:28,991
think oh we just

9231
05:47:32,111 --> 05:47:32,361
and I do have some questions

9232
05:47:34,047 --> 05:47:34,297
that will lead us into certain

9233
05:47:37,584 --> 05:47:37,834
things but very grateful for

9234
05:47:38,384 --> 05:47:38,634
for that development and all

9235
05:47:39,519 --> 05:47:39,769
those considerations given

9236
05:47:44,357 --> 05:47:44,607
you said set them up for failure

9237
05:47:46,292 --> 05:47:46,542
in some sense it was really

9238
05:47:47,527 --> 05:47:47,777
about getting them through and

9239
05:47:48,194 --> 05:47:48,444
really

9240
05:47:54,067 --> 05:47:54,317
Through the programpresentative

9241
05:47:54,767 --> 05:47:55,017
Garcia

9242
05:48:04,377 --> 05:48:04,627
my question is in regards to

9243
05:48:06,312 --> 05:48:06,562
your pamphlet says that you

9244
05:48:08,081 --> 05:48:08,331
must be a resident of new

9245
05:48:08,615 --> 05:48:08,865
McKinley County.

9246
05:48:10,483 --> 05:48:10,733
and

9247
05:48:14,187 --> 05:48:14,437
I'm not sure which court it was

9248
05:48:16,156 --> 05:48:16,406
but

9249
05:48:20,093 --> 05:48:20,343
this past week I got a notice

9250
05:48:22,328 --> 05:48:22,578
from a young lady not wanting a

9251
05:48:23,797 --> 05:48:24,047
letter stating that

9252
05:48:28,001 --> 05:48:28,251
I guess the probation officer

9253
05:48:28,601 --> 05:48:28,851
wanted

9254
05:48:32,038 --> 05:48:32,288
a letter fromRaymond Apo chapter

9255
05:48:35,575 --> 05:48:35,825
to allow them to come on to our

9256
05:48:38,044 --> 05:48:38,294
community to visit the lady

9257
05:48:40,113 --> 05:48:40,363
week on a weekly basis and maybe

9258
05:48:41,815 --> 05:48:42,065
even two times a week and

9259
05:48:46,319 --> 05:48:46,569
she said that the judge that

9260
05:48:49,823 --> 05:48:50,073
made the made the order and

9261
05:48:51,758 --> 05:48:52,008
gave it to the probation officer

9262
05:48:54,127 --> 05:48:54,377
whatever communication that

9263
05:48:57,630 --> 05:48:57,880
was made was not clearly

9264
05:49:00,333 --> 05:49:00,583
explained to her except that

9265
05:49:02,035 --> 05:49:02,285
you're not you are now on

9266
05:49:04,571 --> 05:49:04,821
probation and therefore you will

9267
05:49:06,372 --> 05:49:06,622
be coming in but since she lives

9268
05:49:10,076 --> 05:49:10,326
inibla County they said

9269
05:49:12,078 --> 05:49:12,328
the probation officer will be

9270
05:49:12,679 --> 05:49:12,929
going out there to visit

9271
05:49:14,881 --> 05:49:15,131
with her and

9272
05:49:18,084 --> 05:49:18,334
she wanted to know if it was

9273
05:49:21,554 --> 05:49:21,804
possible to have someone

9274
05:49:23,556 --> 05:49:23,806
fromiblela County as a probation

9275
05:49:24,591 --> 05:49:24,841
officer to come out because that

9276
05:49:27,627 --> 05:49:27,877
would be closer for her or for

9277
05:49:28,361 --> 05:49:28,611
her to go in and visit or for

9278
05:49:30,096 --> 05:49:30,346
that person to come and visit

9279
05:49:32,298 --> 05:49:32,548
her so that was a situation I

9280
05:49:34,334 --> 05:49:34,584
came upon this past week and I

9281
05:49:36,102 --> 05:49:36,352
did write a letter saying that

9282
05:49:38,404 --> 05:49:38,654
it was ok for the probation

9283
05:49:40,306 --> 05:49:40,556
officer to becoming and be

9284
05:49:43,643 --> 05:49:43,893
visiting with her but beyond

9285
05:49:44,477 --> 05:49:44,727
that that was the question that

9286
05:49:45,145 --> 05:49:45,395
she had asked

9287
05:49:46,379 --> 05:49:46,629
could you said

9288
05:49:49,716 --> 05:49:49,966
the judge

9289
05:49:53,853 --> 05:49:54,103
but she wants to transfer to

9290
05:49:56,122 --> 05:49:56,372
McKinley County probably it's

9291
05:49:56,756 --> 05:49:57,006
from McKinleyelunty judge

9292
05:50:01,561 --> 05:50:01,811
and the probation officers in is

9293
05:50:03,630 --> 05:50:03,880
in Mcinley County. Now she wants

9294
05:50:04,330 --> 05:50:04,580
to know if she could have the

9295
05:50:06,099 --> 05:50:06,349
probation officer fromiela

9296
05:50:07,700 --> 05:50:07,950
County come out because that was

9297
05:50:08,368 --> 05:50:08,618
closer.

9298
05:50:10,270 --> 05:50:10,520
thank youpresentative Garcia

9299
05:50:15,642 --> 05:50:15,892
again probation we don't

9300
05:50:16,376 --> 05:50:16,626
controlled with probation again

9301
05:50:18,178 --> 05:50:18,428
first of all we don't have

9302
05:50:20,146 --> 05:50:20,396
jurisdiction inRama because

9303
05:50:22,115 --> 05:50:22,365
again that's a Navajo nation and

9304
05:50:25,885 --> 05:50:26,135
that's what we always address is

9305
05:50:27,854 --> 05:50:28,104
the issue again again cross

9306
05:50:30,356 --> 05:50:30,606
jurisdiction in order for us to

9307
05:50:32,592 --> 05:50:32,842
cross over to the reservation we

9308
05:50:35,628 --> 05:50:35,878
need to get an MOU from the

9309
05:50:36,196 --> 05:50:36,446
nation so we're still working on

9310
05:50:39,866 --> 05:50:40,116
again getting that approval from

9311
05:50:41,868 --> 05:50:42,118
the nation but as for probation

9312
05:50:43,603 --> 05:50:43,853
that's a probation question

9313
05:50:45,872 --> 05:50:46,122
again for whoever that that

9314
05:50:46,473 --> 05:50:46,723
individual would be would need

9315
05:50:47,974 --> 05:50:48,224
to get approval from McKinley

9316
05:50:48,641 --> 05:50:48,891
County probation.

9317
05:50:51,978 --> 05:50:52,228
and from there they can work

9318
05:50:53,847 --> 05:50:54,097
with one another to transfer to

9319
05:50:54,581 --> 05:50:54,831
Sabula County but that's out of

9320
05:50:56,149 --> 05:50:56,399
my again that's out of my hands

9321
05:50:56,816 --> 05:50:57,066
that's probation

9322
05:51:00,386 --> 05:51:00,636
as for your other question the

9323
05:51:02,122 --> 05:51:02,372
order by a judge again I don't

9324
05:51:04,124 --> 05:51:04,374
know who the judge is I don't

9325
05:51:04,791 --> 05:51:05,041
yeah I don't do

9326
05:51:08,027 --> 05:51:08,277
I I I know where I stand and I

9327
05:51:09,863 --> 05:51:10,113
know I don't I don't try to

9328
05:51:10,630 --> 05:51:10,880
cross those boundaries as well

9329
05:51:12,432 --> 05:51:12,682
so I know where my jurisdiction

9330
05:51:15,602 --> 05:51:15,852
lies and it's not on the

9331
05:51:17,604 --> 05:51:17,854
reservation right now even

9332
05:51:18,338 --> 05:51:18,588
though I live on the reservation

9333
05:51:22,108 --> 05:51:22,358
so but with that being said

9334
05:51:24,077 --> 05:51:24,327
and then your question regarding

9335
05:51:25,845 --> 05:51:26,095
the pamphlet indicating

9336
05:51:27,881 --> 05:51:28,131
McKinley County residents that's

9337
05:51:30,383 --> 05:51:30,633
a typogain it's anyone who

9338
05:51:32,118 --> 05:51:32,368
receives an infraction within

9339
05:51:33,887 --> 05:51:34,137
McKinney County because we have

9340
05:51:34,554 --> 05:51:34,804
individuals from arizona I

9341
05:51:36,356 --> 05:51:36,606
think we have one

9342
05:51:39,826 --> 05:51:40,076
that comes in from Arizona fort

9343
05:51:41,628 --> 05:51:41,878
defiance to take part in our

9344
05:51:43,830 --> 05:51:44,080
program. It's a 40 mile radius

9345
05:51:46,366 --> 05:51:46,616
is what we're again who we

9346
05:51:49,569 --> 05:51:49,819
try to get into our program

9347
05:51:50,336 --> 05:51:50,586
because everyone outside the

9348
05:51:52,539 --> 05:51:52,789
outskirts of40 miles we're

9349
05:51:54,107 --> 05:51:54,357
setting them up for failure

9350
05:51:56,109 --> 05:51:56,359
because we know transportation

9351
05:51:58,144 --> 05:51:58,394
is an issue here in McKinley

9352
05:51:59,879 --> 05:52:00,129
County because again the poverty

9353
05:52:02,215 --> 05:52:02,465
rate again we we take that into

9354
05:52:04,350 --> 05:52:04,600
consideration as well so we try

9355
05:52:05,919 --> 05:52:06,169
to only take individuals who we

9356
05:52:06,586 --> 05:52:06,836
think can

9357
05:52:09,856 --> 05:52:10,106
complete the program and be s

9358
05:52:11,624 --> 05:52:11,874
successful although we want to

9359
05:52:14,127 --> 05:52:14,377
reach everybody out there it's

9360
05:52:14,794 --> 05:52:15,044
kind of we don't want to set

9361
05:52:16,095 --> 05:52:16,345
them up for failure where

9362
05:52:17,864 --> 05:52:18,114
there's a lot of things we take

9363
05:52:18,498 --> 05:52:18,748
into consideration in

9364
05:52:18,998 --> 05:52:19,248
transportation is one of them

9365
05:52:22,435 --> 05:52:22,685
and again there are other

9366
05:52:24,103 --> 05:52:24,353
factors we also take into

9367
05:52:25,872 --> 05:52:26,122
consideration they can't be they

9368
05:52:27,607 --> 05:52:27,857
can't have violent offenses as

9369
05:52:29,642 --> 05:52:29,892
well they can't have a felony

9370
05:52:31,644 --> 05:52:31,894
and again we only address 2nd

9371
05:52:34,080 --> 05:52:34,330
and 3rd offense DWIs so again

9372
05:52:34,681 --> 05:52:34,931
thank you for that question

9373
05:52:35,248 --> 05:52:35,498
madam Garcia.

9374
05:52:40,120 --> 05:52:40,370
madam chairir thank you too

9375
05:52:42,322 --> 05:52:42,572
for that answer we are about

9376
05:52:42,989 --> 05:52:43,239
oh

9377
05:52:45,825 --> 05:52:46,075
to the chapter it's about 60

9378
05:52:48,294 --> 05:52:48,544
miles so I think we're outside

9379
05:52:53,633 --> 05:52:53,883
of that 60 or40 mile but

9380
05:52:54,200 --> 05:52:54,450
transportation would be an issue

9381
05:52:54,868 --> 05:52:55,118
for her

9382
05:52:57,704 --> 05:52:57,954
she was wonderering the streets

9383
05:53:00,306 --> 05:53:00,556
over here and got caught for DWi

9384
05:53:03,810 --> 05:53:04,060
and that that was the reason why

9385
05:53:05,812 --> 05:53:06,062
she said that she had to get

9386
05:53:07,814 --> 05:53:08,064
on probation with I don't know

9387
05:53:09,849 --> 05:53:10,099
which court it was I didn't get

9388
05:53:10,517 --> 05:53:10,767
all that information

9389
05:53:13,887 --> 05:53:14,137
so all I did was write the

9390
05:53:15,655 --> 05:53:15,905
letter to the probation officer.

9391
05:53:16,322 --> 05:53:16,572
OK, thank you.

9392
05:53:18,424 --> 05:53:18,674
thank youpresentative

9393
05:53:18,858 --> 05:53:19,108
Representative Johnson.

9394
05:53:22,095 --> 05:53:22,345
thank you madam chair

9395
05:53:27,867 --> 05:53:28,117
my question is, I guess it would

9396
05:53:28,501 --> 05:53:28,751
be depending

9397
05:53:32,372 --> 05:53:32,622
participants or a number of

9398
05:53:35,608 --> 05:53:35,858
workload, but what is the wait

9399
05:53:36,309 --> 05:53:36,559
time or the service timeline

9400
05:53:39,612 --> 05:53:39,862
for an individual to have

9401
05:53:43,783 --> 05:53:44,033
outpatient treatment or

9402
05:53:44,284 --> 05:53:44,534
treatment

9403
05:53:47,720 --> 05:53:47,970
DWI

9404
05:53:54,210 --> 05:53:54,460
After littleBI once they oh

9405
05:53:56,062 --> 05:53:56,312
sorry madam chair or

9406
05:53:58,331 --> 05:53:58,581
madampresentative Johnson thank

9407
05:54:00,300 --> 05:54:00,550
you for that question the

9408
05:54:01,901 --> 05:54:02,151
timeline again once we

9409
05:54:05,839 --> 05:54:06,089
if they want to be a part of the

9410
05:54:06,573 --> 05:54:06,823
DWI treatment program and

9411
05:54:08,107 --> 05:54:08,357
referred to the because a lot of

9412
05:54:09,609 --> 05:54:09,859
people want to avoid the

9413
05:54:11,845 --> 05:54:12,095
thirtyday jail sentence or the40

9414
05:54:13,847 --> 05:54:14,097
mandatory jail term so they want

9415
05:54:15,882 --> 05:54:16,132
to stay out of jail they'll

9416
05:54:17,650 --> 05:54:17,900
request a see if they can

9417
05:54:18,485 --> 05:54:18,735
they're eligible for our our

9418
05:54:19,152 --> 05:54:19,402
treatment program

9419
05:54:22,355 --> 05:54:22,605
so what we do is right when

9420
05:54:24,324 --> 05:54:24,574
we're about to sentence an

9421
05:54:25,859 --> 05:54:26,109
individual or what when I'm

9422
05:54:27,594 --> 05:54:27,844
about to sentence an individual

9423
05:54:30,096 --> 05:54:30,346
I send them to Danielle she

9424
05:54:31,798 --> 05:54:32,048
again assesses them she keeps

9425
05:54:32,565 --> 05:54:32,815
completes their assessment

9426
05:54:34,367 --> 05:54:34,617
oncece she knows that if there

9427
05:54:35,835 --> 05:54:36,085
again once we know that they're

9428
05:54:38,138 --> 05:54:38,388
eligible then I'll sentence them

9429
05:54:40,140 --> 05:54:40,390
to the program and from there

9430
05:54:41,841 --> 05:54:42,091
Danielle does the legwork and

9431
05:54:42,509 --> 05:54:42,759
she'll tell you what she does

9432
05:54:43,143 --> 05:54:43,393
after that go ahead Danielle

9433
05:54:46,212 --> 05:54:46,462
thank you judgedge Ezzie so

9434
05:54:46,780 --> 05:54:47,030
as Judge aszzie said

9435
05:54:51,584 --> 05:54:51,834
they'll she'll contact me to

9436
05:54:52,218 --> 05:54:52,468
do a what's called a screening

9437
05:54:55,889 --> 05:54:56,139
I think with our current

9438
05:54:57,624 --> 05:54:57,874
participants the majority of

9439
05:54:59,826 --> 05:55:00,076
them were either there in person

9440
05:55:01,694 --> 05:55:01,944
where it was convenient for me

9441
05:55:02,395 --> 05:55:02,645
to just step out of my office

9442
05:55:04,264 --> 05:55:04,514
and I screen them right, you

9443
05:55:05,865 --> 05:55:06,115
know right then and there.

9444
05:55:07,901 --> 05:55:08,151
and I was able to report back to

9445
05:55:09,869 --> 05:55:10,119
the court immediately whether

9446
05:55:12,338 --> 05:55:12,588
they were eligible or not. we

9447
05:55:14,607 --> 05:55:14,857
use what is called the DY rant

9448
05:55:18,077 --> 05:55:18,327
and I'm sorry I wish I wish I

9449
05:55:18,711 --> 05:55:18,961
could tell you what those what

9450
05:55:20,380 --> 05:55:20,630
those acronyms are for but the

9451
05:55:21,848 --> 05:55:22,098
the screener is called the

9452
05:55:25,919 --> 05:55:26,169
DUI rant and it gauges the level

9453
05:55:29,656 --> 05:55:29,906
of risk as well as the need

9454
05:55:30,390 --> 05:55:30,640
for treatment so what we call

9455
05:55:32,358 --> 05:55:32,608
highris high need. Highri

9456
05:55:34,461 --> 05:55:34,711
meaning they are at a high risk

9457
05:55:36,129 --> 05:55:36,379
of reoffending. high need

9458
05:55:37,597 --> 05:55:37,847
meaning that they have a

9459
05:55:39,899 --> 05:55:40,149
moderate to severe substance use

9460
05:55:41,868 --> 05:55:42,118
issue. Substance also including

9461
05:55:44,137 --> 05:55:44,387
alcohol so as judge said I

9462
05:55:44,671 --> 05:55:44,921
will screen them once they

9463
05:55:45,205 --> 05:55:45,455
qualify I

9464
05:55:48,408 --> 05:55:48,658
let the courts know and she

9465
05:55:50,343 --> 05:55:50,593
proceeds with sentencing after

9466
05:55:51,611 --> 05:55:51,861
they are sentenced, they come

9467
05:55:53,880 --> 05:55:54,130
and see me immediately at

9468
05:55:55,849 --> 05:55:56,099
which time I scheduled their

9469
05:55:57,884 --> 05:55:58,134
induction into the program and

9470
05:55:59,652 --> 05:55:59,902
they are also sent to our

9471
05:56:00,186 --> 05:56:00,436
treatment

9472
05:56:03,623 --> 05:56:03,873
treatment agency which was Santa

9473
05:56:04,390 --> 05:56:04,640
Ferecovery at the time so they

9474
05:56:06,192 --> 05:56:06,442
would be sent to Santa Fe

9475
05:56:08,094 --> 05:56:08,344
recovery to schedule an intake

9476
05:56:10,130 --> 05:56:10,380
with their treatment providers

9477
05:56:11,898 --> 05:56:12,148
get all of their screenings and

9478
05:56:13,633 --> 05:56:13,883
assessments done and it is

9479
05:56:14,367 --> 05:56:14,617
within our contract with our

9480
05:56:16,469 --> 05:56:16,719
treatment providers that are

9481
05:56:19,639 --> 05:56:19,889
participants be expedited

9482
05:56:21,608 --> 05:56:21,858
that their services be expedited

9483
05:56:23,576 --> 05:56:23,826
so it is within the contract

9484
05:56:24,677 --> 05:56:24,927
that from the date of referral

9485
05:56:27,614 --> 05:56:27,864
with the treatment providers

9486
05:56:29,649 --> 05:56:29,899
they have5 business days to get

9487
05:56:30,350 --> 05:56:30,600
them assessed and get

9488
05:56:33,586 --> 05:56:33,836
them into treatment so to answer

9489
05:56:34,387 --> 05:56:34,637
your question it would be

9490
05:56:36,055 --> 05:56:36,305
roughly a five business day

9491
05:56:38,358 --> 05:56:38,608
wait. OK after induction. not

9492
05:56:39,859 --> 05:56:40,109
after sentencing but after

9493
05:56:41,861 --> 05:56:42,111
induction. yeah usually you know

9494
05:56:42,629 --> 05:56:42,879
after sentencing but if you you

9495
05:56:44,164 --> 05:56:44,414
count the weekends and whatnot.

9496
05:56:46,032 --> 05:56:46,282
so we get them in right away

9497
05:56:46,699 --> 05:56:46,949
and

9498
05:56:50,170 --> 05:56:50,420
and the so we get them in

9499
05:56:51,604 --> 05:56:51,854
with the treatment providers

9500
05:56:53,640 --> 05:56:53,890
right away. they more than

9501
05:56:55,608 --> 05:56:55,858
likely are also placed on an

9502
05:56:57,610 --> 05:56:57,860
alcohol monitoring device so

9503
05:56:59,579 --> 05:56:59,829
just to we we start that

9504
05:57:01,848 --> 05:57:02,098
sobriety the day of you know so

9505
05:57:03,583 --> 05:57:03,833
really encouraging but we

9506
05:57:04,384 --> 05:57:04,634
also know that you know it's

9507
05:57:05,885 --> 05:57:06,135
it's difficult. not all of our

9508
05:57:07,821 --> 05:57:08,071
participants come in with

9509
05:57:09,589 --> 05:57:09,839
complete sobriety. some of them

9510
05:57:11,591 --> 05:57:11,841
have stopped drinking after the

9511
05:57:13,593 --> 05:57:13,843
incident after their arrest and

9512
05:57:14,360 --> 05:57:14,610
just waiting to go to

9513
05:57:16,129 --> 05:57:16,379
sentencing it is part of their

9514
05:57:16,763 --> 05:57:17,013
conditions of release as well to

9515
05:57:17,430 --> 05:57:17,680
not

9516
05:57:19,833 --> 05:57:20,083
to abstain from alcohol. So

9517
05:57:21,568 --> 05:57:21,818
some of them do come in with

9518
05:57:22,569 --> 05:57:22,819
some sobriety. and there's

9519
05:57:24,404 --> 05:57:24,654
also others that come in and

9520
05:57:26,406 --> 05:57:26,656
it's day one of sobriety for

9521
05:57:28,441 --> 05:57:28,691
them so we are we're working

9522
05:57:30,343 --> 05:57:30,593
from you know from the bottom

9523
05:57:32,145 --> 05:57:32,395
and working up and just

9524
05:57:34,380 --> 05:57:34,630
encouraging them to to maintain

9525
05:57:35,615 --> 05:57:35,865
that sobriety for the first

9526
05:57:36,382 --> 05:57:36,632
couple of days for the first

9527
05:57:37,884 --> 05:57:38,134
couple of weeks you know and

9528
05:57:39,819 --> 05:57:40,069
then so forth but yes it it's a

9529
05:57:40,553 --> 05:57:40,803
very short wait for our

9530
05:57:41,121 --> 05:57:41,371
treatment intake.

9531
05:57:51,631 --> 05:57:51,881
the five days who said that

9532
05:57:58,338 --> 05:57:58,588
to say this is you got to do

9533
05:58:00,273 --> 05:58:00,523
this within5 days it's on the

9534
05:58:02,275 --> 05:58:02,525
within the contract yeah within

9535
05:58:04,043 --> 05:58:04,293
our contract they have to get

9536
05:58:06,045 --> 05:58:06,295
into treatment and then from

9537
05:58:07,881 --> 05:58:08,131
there yes just as as again

9538
05:58:08,448 --> 05:58:08,698
Mleaketty mentioned it's

9539
05:58:10,083 --> 05:58:10,333
difficult some some of them is

9540
05:58:11,851 --> 05:58:12,101
day one but with the scram

9541
05:58:13,887 --> 05:58:14,137
bracelet we continue to monitor

9542
05:58:15,855 --> 05:58:16,105
them and we know return to use

9543
05:58:18,324 --> 05:58:18,574
is gonna be again it's gonna be

9544
05:58:21,895 --> 05:58:22,145
a continued issue until they

9545
05:58:23,563 --> 05:58:23,813
have to be in sobriety for 90

9546
05:58:24,264 --> 05:58:24,514
days for them to face to the

9547
05:58:25,698 --> 05:58:25,948
next phase so if they

9548
05:58:28,368 --> 05:58:28,618
continue to use again I have

9549
05:58:29,536 --> 05:58:29,786
again just like I said the

9550
05:58:30,270 --> 05:58:30,520
gentleman I've had two gentlemen

9551
05:58:30,937 --> 05:58:31,187
who again

9552
05:58:35,608 --> 05:58:35,858
continue to use weekly weekly

9553
05:58:37,577 --> 05:58:37,827
and again we kept addressing

9554
05:58:39,612 --> 05:58:39,862
them addressing them finally I

9555
05:58:40,346 --> 05:58:40,596
don't know I don't know if they

9556
05:58:43,616 --> 05:58:43,866
had an epiphany but again they

9557
05:58:45,618 --> 05:58:45,868
came back on the right track

9558
05:58:46,352 --> 05:58:46,602
again and we have another

9559
05:58:47,921 --> 05:58:48,171
individual who's like Mr

9560
05:58:50,089 --> 05:58:50,339
Castillo who was fighting the

9561
05:58:52,058 --> 05:58:52,308
court constantly intoxicated

9562
05:58:53,860 --> 05:58:54,110
coming to court and we tell them

9563
05:58:54,594 --> 05:58:54,844
no you need to leave that's a

9564
05:58:56,296 --> 05:58:56,546
trigger for our participants we

9565
05:58:59,632 --> 05:58:59,882
cannot have you here so we

9566
05:59:00,533 --> 05:59:00,783
again make him leave our session

9567
05:59:04,337 --> 05:59:04,587
but we bring him back to address

9568
05:59:06,206 --> 05:59:06,456
him tell him this is not going

9569
05:59:08,308 --> 05:59:08,558
to be a continued issue. We

9570
05:59:10,109 --> 05:59:10,359
increase his treatment again we

9571
05:59:11,811 --> 05:59:12,061
sent him back for a reassessment

9572
05:59:13,880 --> 05:59:14,130
what is going on what trauma,

9573
05:59:15,548 --> 05:59:15,798
what is why are you continuing

9574
05:59:16,549 --> 05:59:16,799
to reuse return to use so

9575
05:59:21,554 --> 05:59:21,804
we finally got it situated. He's

9576
05:59:23,823 --> 05:59:24,073
on the right track. he's going

9577
05:59:24,457 --> 05:59:24,707
back to school

9578
05:59:25,892 --> 05:59:26,142
and he knows what

9579
05:59:31,631 --> 05:59:31,881
So the device what did you call

9580
05:59:32,365 --> 05:59:32,615
it a scram bracelet scram

9581
05:59:34,334 --> 05:59:34,584
bracelet? It detects alcohol

9582
05:59:34,968 --> 05:59:35,218
through their skin

9583
05:59:36,202 --> 05:59:36,452
yeah

9584
05:59:37,770 --> 05:59:38,020
how much does that cost

9585
05:59:43,843 --> 05:59:44,093
for a device that is in the it's

9586
05:59:46,079 --> 05:59:46,329
in the for a device maybe it's

9587
05:59:49,616 --> 05:59:49,866
pretty expensive it's about it

9588
05:59:51,785 --> 05:59:52,035
depends on how many we have

9589
05:59:54,254 --> 05:59:54,504
monitored but I I would like

9590
05:59:56,122 --> 05:59:56,372
to say ballpark anywhere

9591
05:59:59,592 --> 05:59:59,842
from1000 to1,500 you know per

9592
06:00:01,895 --> 06:00:02,145
month. So I am exploring other

9593
06:00:02,562 --> 06:00:02,812
options we've been to some

9594
06:00:04,330 --> 06:00:04,580
conferences recently where they

9595
06:00:06,366 --> 06:00:06,616
are actually that technology is

9596
06:00:08,368 --> 06:00:08,618
advancing as well we have

9597
06:00:09,602 --> 06:00:09,852
well some companies have

9598
06:00:12,605 --> 06:00:12,855
GPS trackers and alcohol

9599
06:00:14,307 --> 06:00:14,557
monitors that are about the size

9600
06:00:16,276 --> 06:00:16,526
of the Apple watches or like the

9601
06:00:18,344 --> 06:00:18,594
android watches so very much

9602
06:00:20,079 --> 06:00:20,329
more convenient rather than a

9603
06:00:22,315 --> 06:00:22,565
big device probably as as big as

9604
06:00:24,083 --> 06:00:24,333
my phone you know strapped to

9605
06:00:26,152 --> 06:00:26,402
your leg so the scram bracelet

9606
06:00:28,121 --> 06:00:28,371
it as judge said it detects

9607
06:00:31,624 --> 06:00:31,874
alcohol by taking a sample of

9608
06:00:32,392 --> 06:00:32,642
your pores from the sweat from

9609
06:00:34,160 --> 06:00:34,410
your pores so there's a screen

9610
06:00:35,628 --> 06:00:35,878
on the device that has to stay

9611
06:00:37,897 --> 06:00:38,147
in close contact with the skin

9612
06:00:38,598 --> 06:00:38,848
and then we also have to be

9613
06:00:39,732 --> 06:00:39,982
mindful and tell our

9614
06:00:40,166 --> 06:00:40,416
participants

9615
06:00:42,569 --> 06:00:42,819
don't be using any products

9616
06:00:44,404 --> 06:00:44,654
that contain alcohol and that

9617
06:00:46,406 --> 06:00:46,656
could be cologne and body spray.

9618
06:00:49,609 --> 06:00:49,859
so they start to learn you know

9619
06:00:51,611 --> 06:00:51,861
all the different stuff that we

9620
06:00:52,378 --> 06:00:52,628
use everyday that contains

9621
06:00:54,614 --> 06:00:54,864
alcohol and it's a it's a it's

9622
06:00:56,382 --> 06:00:56,632
an eye opener but to answer your

9623
06:00:58,084 --> 06:00:58,334
other question as far as that

9624
06:00:59,886 --> 06:01:00,136
requirement of the five days, I

9625
06:01:00,587 --> 06:01:00,837
believe that comes from the New

9626
06:01:01,654 --> 06:01:01,904
Mexicoreatment court standards.

9627
06:01:13,800 --> 06:01:14,050
making them wait I again I do

9628
06:01:16,136 --> 06:01:16,386
want to mention we do we did

9629
06:01:17,604 --> 06:01:17,854
have a delay for one of our

9630
06:01:18,371 --> 06:01:18,621
veterans again we had two

9631
06:01:22,108 --> 06:01:22,358
veterans one graduated again he

9632
06:01:23,877 --> 06:01:24,127
successfully working again

9633
06:01:25,645 --> 06:01:25,895
but we have one veteran again

9634
06:01:26,279 --> 06:01:26,529
who who does have PTI

9635
06:01:32,485 --> 06:01:32,735
again working with him was a

9636
06:01:36,689 --> 06:01:36,939
challenge but again we also

9637
06:01:39,893 --> 06:01:40,143
kept them in the program we he's

9638
06:01:41,661 --> 06:01:41,911
actually being successful right

9639
06:01:42,395 --> 06:01:42,645
now and he's being compliant

9640
06:01:45,598 --> 06:01:45,848
from the beginning he was again

9641
06:01:47,634 --> 06:01:47,884
returning to use and we sent him

9642
06:01:49,903 --> 06:01:50,153
to treatment we held them in

9643
06:01:51,905 --> 06:01:52,155
custody and we're waiting for

9644
06:01:53,840 --> 06:01:54,090
veterans to get back to us the

9645
06:01:56,309 --> 06:01:56,559
veterans program the VSo via the

9646
06:01:56,976 --> 06:01:57,226
BA

9647
06:02:01,915 --> 06:02:02,165
Danielle can share that with

9648
06:02:02,649 --> 06:02:02,899
you but again I would yeah it

9649
06:02:04,317 --> 06:02:04,567
would his his case was time

9650
06:02:06,352 --> 06:02:06,602
consuming only because we were

9651
06:02:07,620 --> 06:02:07,870
waiting for

9652
06:02:11,825 --> 06:02:12,075
the VO to get him into get

9653
06:02:14,360 --> 06:02:14,610
screened and find out if he can

9654
06:02:15,895 --> 06:02:16,145
take part in that treatment that

9655
06:02:17,697 --> 06:02:17,947
was the issue that we were

9656
06:02:20,400 --> 06:02:20,650
having so since then we've kind

9657
06:02:22,469 --> 06:02:22,719
of shied away from that and

9658
06:02:24,137 --> 06:02:24,387
we're kind of just utilizing our

9659
06:02:25,839 --> 06:02:26,089
own treatment provider but we

9660
06:02:26,439 --> 06:02:26,689
were trying to do what was best

9661
06:02:27,106 --> 06:02:27,356
for him

9662
06:02:29,876 --> 06:02:30,126
again and trying to send him

9663
06:02:31,845 --> 06:02:32,095
send him back to the VA to get

9664
06:02:33,680 --> 06:02:33,930
that treatment so he stays

9665
06:02:34,380 --> 06:02:34,630
within the program and they

9666
06:02:36,216 --> 06:02:36,466
report to us but again I'll let

9667
06:02:38,351 --> 06:02:38,601
Danielle share that that that

9668
06:02:39,018 --> 06:02:39,268
information with you

9669
06:02:42,288 --> 06:02:42,538
thank you Judgeyzzie. Yes, so we

9670
06:02:45,592 --> 06:02:45,842
do have as Joelzy said we've

9671
06:02:47,594 --> 06:02:47,844
had two veteran participants one

9672
06:02:49,863 --> 06:02:50,113
previously and one current.

9673
06:02:50,597 --> 06:02:50,847
this current veteran I've worked

9674
06:02:53,633 --> 06:02:53,883
with since compliance and again

9675
06:02:54,434 --> 06:02:54,684
he kind of followed me over so

9676
06:02:57,937 --> 06:02:58,187
I've seen him make tremendous

9677
06:02:59,873 --> 06:03:00,123
progress from an individual that

9678
06:03:02,375 --> 06:03:02,625
was very reserved very you

9679
06:03:05,645 --> 06:03:05,895
know not easily trusting of

9680
06:03:06,379 --> 06:03:06,629
everybody which is completely

9681
06:03:08,181 --> 06:03:08,431
understandable but very very

9682
06:03:08,782 --> 06:03:09,032
respectful, very very compliant.

9683
06:03:11,885 --> 06:03:12,135
this individual does have a lot

9684
06:03:14,187 --> 06:03:14,437
of trauma. we did get in

9685
06:03:16,122 --> 06:03:16,372
contact with veterans justice

9686
06:03:18,291 --> 06:03:18,541
outreach which is the VJO they

9687
06:03:20,293 --> 06:03:20,543
are the outreach component of

9688
06:03:23,897 --> 06:03:24,147
the veterans veteran system

9689
06:03:25,799 --> 06:03:26,049
to help justice involved

9690
06:03:27,867 --> 06:03:28,117
individuals. So making that

9691
06:03:29,569 --> 06:03:29,819
connection with the VJO also

9692
06:03:30,370 --> 06:03:30,620
opened up doors for compliance,

9693
06:03:32,405 --> 06:03:32,655
the compliance program as well

9694
06:03:34,207 --> 06:03:34,457
to know that these are resources

9695
06:03:36,142 --> 06:03:36,392
available for their clients as

9696
06:03:37,944 --> 06:03:38,194
well that are just on regular

9697
06:03:38,645 --> 06:03:38,895
misdemeanor probation. so our

9698
06:03:39,312 --> 06:03:39,562
partic

9699
06:03:42,415 --> 06:03:42,665
ip ant did receive services

9700
06:03:44,350 --> 06:03:44,600
after a while with the veterans

9701
06:03:46,352 --> 06:03:46,602
with with the veterans clinic

9702
06:03:50,123 --> 06:03:50,373
and was receiving individual

9703
06:03:51,891 --> 06:03:52,141
services as well as group

9704
06:03:53,593 --> 06:03:53,843
services however they were

9705
06:03:55,528 --> 06:03:55,778
virtual and we didn't really

9706
06:03:56,129 --> 06:03:56,379
feel that it was working

9707
06:03:58,398 --> 06:03:58,648
virtually. so we were able to

9708
06:04:01,568 --> 06:04:01,818
get him in with We song and

9709
06:04:02,302 --> 06:04:02,552
their clinical supervisor is

9710
06:04:05,572 --> 06:04:05,822
actually works with the

9711
06:04:07,640 --> 06:04:07,890
eterans department. I'm not sure

9712
06:04:08,575 --> 06:04:08,825
if he is a veteran himself. I I

9713
06:04:09,242 --> 06:04:09,492
believe he is

9714
06:04:12,378 --> 06:04:12,628
so that's that's helpful as

9715
06:04:14,314 --> 06:04:14,564
well. He also works with the VA

9716
06:04:17,517 --> 06:04:17,767
here in Gallup. so the VA is

9717
06:04:18,251 --> 06:04:18,501
very tricky to work with. they

9718
06:04:20,053 --> 06:04:20,303
will not talk to me. they will

9719
06:04:21,855 --> 06:04:22,105
not contact mething is through

9720
06:04:23,590 --> 06:04:23,840
the veteran so the veteran has

9721
06:04:25,892 --> 06:04:26,142
to be very accountable if I need

9722
06:04:26,593 --> 06:04:26,843
progress reports, I will have to

9723
06:04:28,361 --> 06:04:28,611
ask the veteran will you

9724
06:04:30,130 --> 06:04:30,380
contact your provider and get a

9725
06:04:31,898 --> 06:04:32,148
letter of your updates or your

9726
06:04:33,833 --> 06:04:34,083
status right now so he's he's

9727
06:04:34,467 --> 06:04:34,717
very compliant so he'll be able

9728
06:04:38,138 --> 06:04:38,388
to do that so this individual

9729
06:04:38,805 --> 06:04:39,055
is receiving services at Winsong

9730
06:04:43,643 --> 06:04:43,893
working with their veteran

9731
06:04:45,845 --> 06:04:46,095
clinical supervisor and he is

9732
06:04:47,781 --> 06:04:48,031
still also involved with the

9733
06:04:48,381 --> 06:04:48,631
veterans clinic out in

9734
06:04:50,583 --> 06:04:50,833
Albuquerque. He still meets with

9735
06:04:53,620 --> 06:04:53,870
his provider there and then

9736
06:04:54,354 --> 06:04:54,604
attends what's called a relapse

9737
06:04:56,356 --> 06:04:56,606
prevention group weekly. So he

9738
06:04:57,857 --> 06:04:58,107
keeps himself busy and

9739
06:05:00,426 --> 06:05:00,676
we also keep in contact with the

9740
06:05:02,328 --> 06:05:02,578
VA as well just you know making

9741
06:05:04,097 --> 06:05:04,347
sure that everybody is all on

9742
06:05:06,065 --> 06:05:06,315
the same page as far as his

9743
06:05:07,834 --> 06:05:08,084
progress in any updates that we

9744
06:05:08,468 --> 06:05:08,718
need.

9745
06:05:11,638 --> 06:05:11,888
but that's that's our

9746
06:05:12,105 --> 06:05:12,355
relationship working

9747
06:05:13,807 --> 06:05:14,057
relationship with the veterans

9748
06:05:15,642 --> 06:05:15,892
department as well and their

9749
06:05:16,409 --> 06:05:16,659
veteran justice outreach

9750
06:05:21,614 --> 06:05:21,864
but yes that that is and then

9751
06:05:22,215 --> 06:05:22,465
just don't like I said opening

9752
06:05:23,917 --> 06:05:24,167
up those doors what resources we

9753
06:05:25,585 --> 06:05:25,835
can get from the VJO and from

9754
06:05:27,587 --> 06:05:27,837
the veterans department. I

9755
06:05:28,555 --> 06:05:28,805
also share with compliance and

9756
06:05:30,190 --> 06:05:30,440
we've got a little what I call

9757
06:05:31,825 --> 06:05:32,075
resource board up there in the

9758
06:05:33,893 --> 06:05:34,143
courthouse that has

9759
06:05:34,394 --> 06:05:34,644
information such as

9760
06:05:37,831 --> 06:05:38,081
contact information for the

9761
06:05:40,099 --> 06:05:40,349
VJO any kind of treatment

9762
06:05:42,035 --> 06:05:42,285
services recovery support groups

9763
06:05:44,337 --> 06:05:44,587
whatever kind of resources I

9764
06:05:46,172 --> 06:05:46,422
can put up there for people that

9765
06:05:48,041 --> 06:05:48,291
are post adjudication

9766
06:05:49,876 --> 06:05:50,126
preadjudication whatever helps I

9767
06:05:51,644 --> 06:05:51,894
put it up there. The more

9768
06:05:52,245 --> 06:05:52,495
resources I can get out there

9769
06:05:52,846 --> 06:05:53,096
the better.

9770
06:05:55,748 --> 06:05:55,998
thank you and that with the

9771
06:05:56,316 --> 06:05:56,566
benefits because we don't have

9772
06:06:05,792 --> 06:06:06,042
No, there is no veterans court

9773
06:06:06,493 --> 06:06:06,743
currently.

9774
06:06:09,863 --> 06:06:10,113
so one of the things too I've

9775
06:06:11,598 --> 06:06:11,848
been not combined need to

9776
06:06:12,132 --> 06:06:12,382
explore is the

9777
06:06:21,908 --> 06:06:22,158
but I think it seemed to be a

9778
06:06:24,144 --> 06:06:24,394
lot more efficient as far as

9779
06:06:25,545 --> 06:06:25,795
making sure there was not

9780
06:06:27,914 --> 06:06:28,164
duplicate services and that you

9781
06:06:28,581 --> 06:06:28,831
did not have to

9782
06:06:31,851 --> 06:06:32,101
post it on your board but that

9783
06:06:34,387 --> 06:06:34,637
you put a referral out and then

9784
06:06:36,389 --> 06:06:36,639
whoever can meet the needs if

9785
06:06:37,824 --> 06:06:38,074
it's something that needs to be

9786
06:06:39,826 --> 06:06:40,076
immediate or something specific

9787
06:06:42,061 --> 06:06:42,311
or if it's a veteran that it

9788
06:06:43,830 --> 06:06:44,080
that's where it goes and they're

9789
06:06:46,366 --> 06:06:46,616
able to with that those

9790
06:06:48,401 --> 06:06:48,651
resources they're they're

9791
06:06:50,103 --> 06:06:50,353
contracted with us and they we

9792
06:06:52,105 --> 06:06:52,355
become the in some sense more

9793
06:06:53,873 --> 06:06:54,123
accountable to doing what they

9794
06:06:54,541 --> 06:06:54,791
need to do

9795
06:06:58,144 --> 06:06:58,394
don't know how I'm gonna move

9796
06:07:00,346 --> 06:07:00,596
that forwardda because it's we

9797
06:07:01,848 --> 06:07:02,098
got a lot going on here in New

9798
06:07:02,482 --> 06:07:02,732
Mexico

9799
06:07:05,618 --> 06:07:05,868
and I think that's the only

9800
06:07:06,453 --> 06:07:06,703
thing I think that's probably is

9801
06:07:07,086 --> 06:07:07,336
that the only

9802
06:07:10,423 --> 06:07:10,673
in a way barrier or something

9803
06:07:11,624 --> 06:07:11,874
that needs to be worked on is

9804
06:07:12,225 --> 06:07:12,475
with our veter

9805
06:07:22,368 --> 06:07:22,618
we're sorry I believe I believe

9806
06:07:24,103 --> 06:07:24,353
that was the only issue we had

9807
06:07:26,172 --> 06:07:26,422
again was getting our vet our

9808
06:07:28,475 --> 06:07:28,725
veteran into treatment again

9809
06:07:32,045 --> 06:07:32,295
services from BBJO or VSO

9810
06:07:33,980 --> 06:07:34,230
other than that again like I

9811
06:07:35,615 --> 06:07:35,865
said it was frustrating from the

9812
06:07:36,249 --> 06:07:36,499
beginning for him because again

9813
06:07:37,917 --> 06:07:38,167
I didn't want to keep him in

9814
06:07:39,886 --> 06:07:40,136
custody as well and we we kept

9815
06:07:41,621 --> 06:07:41,871
them in there for almost an

9816
06:07:43,656 --> 06:07:43,906
entire month just before he was

9817
06:07:44,657 --> 06:07:44,907
able to obtain some type of

9818
06:07:45,925 --> 06:07:46,175
service and before we were able

9819
06:07:46,559 --> 06:07:46,809
to release him

9820
06:07:50,096 --> 06:07:50,346
but in the end again he's

9821
06:07:51,865 --> 06:07:52,115
doing very well and he's

9822
06:07:53,900 --> 06:07:54,150
compliant like she said she he's

9823
06:07:54,567 --> 06:07:54,817
very respectful and

9824
06:07:57,837 --> 06:07:58,087
and of course the warden he

9825
06:07:58,404 --> 06:07:58,654
really respects the warden

9826
06:08:00,073 --> 06:08:00,323
because he's also a veteran as

9827
06:08:02,408 --> 06:08:02,658
well so our warden again was our

9828
06:08:04,110 --> 06:08:04,360
our program manager as well at

9829
06:08:07,614 --> 06:08:07,864
one point for McKinley County so

9830
06:08:08,481 --> 06:08:08,731
he knows the the the

9831
06:08:10,283 --> 06:08:10,533
participants so he can again

9832
06:08:14,354 --> 06:08:14,604
I guess encourage and mentor

9833
06:08:17,590 --> 06:08:17,840
again the participant as well so

9834
06:08:18,358 --> 06:08:18,608
it it's it's it's it's it was

9835
06:08:21,628 --> 06:08:21,878
it worked out for the best

9836
06:08:22,328 --> 06:08:22,578
because again the warden was

9837
06:08:23,930 --> 06:08:24,180
able to speak with our

9838
06:08:26,099 --> 06:08:26,349
participant and again that's how

9839
06:08:28,368 --> 06:08:28,618
he was able to maintain again as

9840
06:08:32,038 --> 06:08:32,288
well any traumas or any yeah

9841
06:08:32,705 --> 06:08:32,955
whatever

9842
06:08:35,542 --> 06:08:35,792
disorder he was going through

9843
06:08:36,142 --> 06:08:36,392
and don't I don't know how to

9844
06:08:40,113 --> 06:08:40,363
say it but yeah but yeah but in

9845
06:08:40,780 --> 06:08:41,030
the end

9846
06:08:43,817 --> 06:08:44,067
I don't believe we we don't we

9847
06:08:46,286 --> 06:08:46,536
haven't stumbled upon any any

9848
06:08:48,121 --> 06:08:48,371
barriers at this moment again of

9849
06:08:49,889 --> 06:08:50,139
course just the same issues

9850
06:08:52,459 --> 06:08:52,709
housing transportation for

9851
06:08:54,127 --> 06:08:54,377
our participants other than that

9852
06:08:55,862 --> 06:08:56,112
again just the same resources

9853
06:08:57,897 --> 06:08:58,147
that everybody else is having to

9854
06:09:00,133 --> 06:09:00,383
deal with where we're still

9855
06:09:02,101 --> 06:09:02,351
hinders our program but in the

9856
06:09:04,370 --> 06:09:04,620
end again I'm just thankful

9857
06:09:06,406 --> 06:09:06,656
again our DA it's now all for

9858
06:09:06,973 --> 06:09:07,223
treatment as well

9859
06:09:11,878 --> 06:09:12,128
again so again he's sending

9860
06:09:14,180 --> 06:09:14,430
again anyone who's again being

9861
06:09:16,382 --> 06:09:16,632
arrested for possession a

9862
06:09:17,851 --> 06:09:18,101
controlled substance into

9863
06:09:19,886 --> 06:09:20,136
treatment again that's a again

9864
06:09:20,620 --> 06:09:20,870
that's again beenn

9865
06:09:24,357 --> 06:09:24,607
very successful at some again in

9866
06:09:25,058 --> 06:09:25,308
some

9867
06:09:28,161 --> 06:09:28,411
at some point but again at the

9868
06:09:29,762 --> 06:09:30,012
same time you know that they

9869
06:09:30,363 --> 06:09:30,613
don't want to go into treatment

9870
06:09:32,398 --> 06:09:32,648
as well so it's it's kind of hit

9871
06:09:35,835 --> 06:09:36,085
or miss but um'm umjo Burnetts

9872
06:09:38,338 --> 06:09:38,588
and Mr Friedley again they've

9873
06:09:40,073 --> 06:09:40,323
been sending a lot of their per

9874
06:09:42,342 --> 06:09:42,592
our defendants into treatment as

9875
06:09:43,009 --> 06:09:43,259
well for anyone who was

9876
06:09:46,346 --> 06:09:46,596
charged with possession have any

9877
06:09:49,582 --> 06:09:49,832
type of substance and any the

9878
06:09:50,350 --> 06:09:50,600
diversion programs they're still

9879
06:09:52,085 --> 06:09:52,335
trying to work on it too and I'm

9880
06:09:53,586 --> 06:09:53,836
very grateful for that and I'm

9881
06:09:54,254 --> 06:09:54,504
hoping we continue to move in

9882
06:09:54,888 --> 06:09:55,138
that direction

9883
06:09:59,592 --> 06:09:59,842
you're funding's good because I

9884
06:10:00,326 --> 06:10:00,576
know we pump a lot of money into

9885
06:10:03,530 --> 06:10:03,780
the IOc this past and trying to

9886
06:10:04,230 --> 06:10:04,480
get de dedicated funding for

9887
06:10:08,601 --> 06:10:08,851
thank you for the work you do

9888
06:10:09,602 --> 06:10:09,852
but I do I think on a side

9889
06:10:19,746 --> 06:10:19,996
treatment providers after the

9890
06:10:20,413 --> 06:10:20,663
they they don't have to

9891
06:10:27,887 --> 06:10:28,137
our treatment providers are are

9892
06:10:28,621 --> 06:10:28,871
certified yes they're clinicians

9893
06:10:31,858 --> 06:10:32,108
so our our like I said our

9894
06:10:33,593 --> 06:10:33,843
clinical supervisor I believe is

9895
06:10:36,362 --> 06:10:36,612
in LMSW I believe licensed

9896
06:10:37,597 --> 06:10:37,847
mental social worker

9897
06:10:56,116 --> 06:10:56,366
that deat sobriety was necessary

9898
06:10:57,550 --> 06:10:57,800
as far as just

9899
06:11:03,723 --> 06:11:03,973
to mentor in that sense then I

9900
06:11:04,457 --> 06:11:04,707
also like to

9901
06:11:13,833 --> 06:11:14,083
sentencing to programs like this

9902
06:11:14,534 --> 06:11:14,784
I think that's a very

9903
06:11:15,735 --> 06:11:15,985
different kind of as far as

9904
06:11:25,712 --> 06:11:25,962
indigenous people but thank you

9905
06:11:26,379 --> 06:11:26,629
thank you for the work you

9906
06:11:29,682 --> 06:11:29,932
Welcome aboard and

9907
06:11:34,354 --> 06:11:34,604
and learned a lot is what I

9908
06:11:35,588 --> 06:11:35,838
understand and hopefully expand

9909
06:11:36,289 --> 06:11:36,539
it

9910
06:11:42,128 --> 06:11:42,378
we are looking into expanding

9911
06:11:44,097 --> 06:11:44,347
again we're looking at again

9912
06:11:45,832 --> 06:11:46,082
just as she mentioned the

9913
06:11:47,567 --> 06:11:47,817
holistic approach to healing to

9914
06:11:49,636 --> 06:11:49,886
wellness portion of it because

9915
06:11:51,638 --> 06:11:51,888
again apparently we don't we're

9916
06:11:53,640 --> 06:11:53,890
no longer a DWI program we're

9917
06:11:54,374 --> 06:11:54,624
now going to be transitioning to

9918
06:11:56,376 --> 06:11:56,626
healing and wellness so again

9919
06:11:59,879 --> 06:12:00,129
working with Ken and joanener

9920
06:12:01,581 --> 06:12:01,831
again utilizing the culture and

9921
06:12:03,650 --> 06:12:03,900
the traditions for the native

9922
06:12:05,618 --> 06:12:05,868
Americans who again want to find

9923
06:12:06,352 --> 06:12:06,602
their way back to our culture

9924
06:12:08,188 --> 06:12:08,438

9925
06:12:11,591 --> 06:12:11,841

9958
06:13:35,809 --> 06:13:36,059
