261
00:09:17,270 --> 00:09:17,520
necessarily native but we

262
00:09:19,990 --> 00:09:20,240

have been dropped off inallup

266
00:09:27,150 --> 00:09:27,400

267
00:09:29,350 --> 00:09:29,600
mostly young girls and we hear

268
00:09:30,110 --> 00:09:30,360
what we hear is that

269
00:09:34,890 --> 00:09:35,140
they're their friend dropped

270
00:09:35,070 --> 00:09:35,320
them off and left him you know

271
00:09:37,090 --> 00:09:37,340
and it's very concerning you

272
00:09:38,770 --> 00:09:39,020
know trafficking is our biggest

273
00:09:40,570 --> 00:09:40,820
thing. one of my biggest things

274
00:09:41,830 --> 00:09:42,080
to continue and can continue to

275
00:09:44,290 --> 00:09:44,540
address you know and we need to

276
00:09:45,650 --> 00:09:45,900
make sure that we keep don't let

277
00:09:47,710 --> 00:09:47,960
it out out of our view and keep

278
00:09:50,330 --> 00:09:50,580
pushing the trafficking and

279
00:09:51,650 --> 00:09:51,900
making sure that we provide a

280
00:09:52,890 --> 00:09:53,140
safe place for people to go we

281
00:09:55,730 --> 00:09:55,980
want to we want to try to make

282
00:09:56,270 --> 00:09:56,520
something safe where if somebody

283
00:09:58,490 --> 00:09:58,740
is here maybe against their will

284
00:10:01,260 --> 00:10:01,510
or some got dropped off you know

285
00:10:03,220 --> 00:10:03,470
and as soon as you hear dropped

286
00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:04,450
off that's that's scary you know

287
00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:09,050
and we wanted that's one

288
00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:10,610
of the things we're working on

289
00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:11,330
is try to get him a safe get

290
00:10:12,460 --> 00:10:12,710

00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:13,730
know they're safe and they can

292
00:10:14,340 --> 00:10:14,590
go. having worked in Mexico30

293
00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:17,330
years ago I kind of have a

294
00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:19,010
little bit of experience with

295
00:10:20,860 --> 00:10:21,110
what what happens with when you

296
00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:23,170
have people who are trafficked

297
00:10:23,980 --> 00:10:24,230
and some of the people aren't

298
00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:25,450
necessarily native they are

299
00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:26,690
they're people from all over the

300
00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:28,170
place that come in they come

side to provide these positions

357
00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:08,970

358
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:10,250
step is the education we want to

in hand with their universities

381
00:12:52,560 --> 00:12:52,810
to be able to fill the positions

382
00:12:54,380 --> 00:12:54,630
that they that they they know

383
00:12:56,620 --> 00:12:56,870
they're gonna need and they and

384
00:12:57,300 --> 00:12:57,550
they fill these positions so

385
00:12:58,700 --> 00:12:58,950
that they can provide an experts

386
00:13:00,920 --> 00:13:01,170
the the the high quality

387
00:13:03,500 --> 00:13:03,750
testing lab and testing facility

388
00:13:07,020 --> 00:13:07,270
so you know education of course

389
00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:09,650
then the court the next thing is

390
00:13:10,820 --> 00:13:11,070
recreation you know we want to

391
00:13:13,260 --> 00:13:13,510
we the gallup is we're looking

392
00:13:14,420 --> 00:13:14,670
at doing a pretty big expansion

393
00:13:16,580 --> 00:13:16,830
to our recreation. you know I

394
00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:18,050
hear when I go to the municipal

395
00:13:18,760 --> 00:13:19,010
league I hear from people that

396
00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:20,170
gallup has some of the best

397
00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:21,570
recreational facilities and we

398
00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:23,690
do you know and not only that we

399
00:13:24,980 --> 00:13:25,230
have cool weather so in the

400
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:27,250
summertime it's nice to come to

401
00:13:28,220 --> 00:13:28,470
Gallup but of course you know as

402
00:13:30,180 --> 00:13:30,430
as Senator Pinto knows you know

403
00:13:32,540 --> 00:13:32,790
basketball is dear to gallup and

404
00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:35,170
so is you know the soccer is

405
00:13:36,840 --> 00:13:37,090
becoming one of the other things

406
00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:38,010
volleyball you know football

407
00:13:39,540 --> 00:13:39,790
and all the different sports but

408
00:13:40,860 --> 00:13:41,110
we have the opportunity here

409
00:13:43,460 --> 00:13:43,710
every weekend

410
00:13:44,280 --> 00:13:44,530
our our sports fields are filled

411
00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:46,410
because people come as far as

412
00:13:47,900 --> 00:13:48,150
Phoenix Yuma, Texas to go to

413
00:13:50,380 --> 00:13:50,630
play here inallup and we want to

414
00:13:51,620 --> 00:13:51,870
continue that the then

415
00:13:54,700 --> 00:13:54,950
another thing of course is

416
00:13:55,740 --> 00:13:55,990
housing you know one of the

417
00:13:59,260 --> 00:13:59,510
one of the deals that or one of

418
00:13:59,640 --> 00:13:59,890
the things that we will work on

419
00:14:01,660 --> 00:14:01,910
housing right now is incredibly

420
00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:03,090
expensive my family's been

421
00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:06,370
building houses in here probably

422
00:14:07,400 --> 00:14:07,650
for h00 years. you know my aro

423
00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:10,170
Caania was was my grandfather he

424
00:14:11,300 --> 00:14:11,550
was a stonemason he learned the

425
00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:14,570
stonemasonry from the Spanish so

426
00:14:16,100 --> 00:14:16,350
one of the reasons when I went

427
00:14:16,860 --> 00:14:17,110
back to Barcelona I wanted to

428
00:14:18,140 --> 00:14:18,390
see exactly what why

429
00:14:19,160 --> 00:14:19,410
everything's so common wall and

430
00:14:21,220 --> 00:14:21,470
sure enough you know I could see

431
00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:23,450
that see the resemblance between

432
00:14:24,340 --> 00:14:24,590
downtown Gallup and some of the

433
00:14:26,500 --> 00:14:26,750
buildings were in Barcelona but

434
00:14:28,760 --> 00:14:29,010
you know he he learned the

435
00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:30,970
stonemason trade from the S

436
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:32,250
pan ish and at one time he had75

437
00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:34,610
stonemasons working for him. He

438
00:14:35,700 --> 00:14:35,950
built the church in Hau. he

439
00:14:37,180 --> 00:14:37,430
built the church in Tohatchie

440
00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:39,850
he built churches all over the

441
00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:40,970
diocese of gallup. we had75

442
00:14:44,140 --> 00:14:44,390
stonemasons and then most of

443
00:14:44,540 --> 00:14:44,790
them are either zuni or Navajo

444
00:14:47,953 --> 00:14:48,203
the Tracy's Keaazzzie all my

445
00:14:48,500 --> 00:14:48,750
all my friends that grew up with

446
00:14:52,420 --> 00:14:52,670
but housing is dear is

447
00:14:53,380 --> 00:14:53,630
something we really need to look

448
00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:55,250
into

449
00:14:56,440 --> 00:14:56,690
you know it's it's a hard it's

450
00:14:56,576 --> 00:14:56,826
hard to

451
00:14:57,300 --> 00:14:57,550
it's hard to proceed with

452
00:15:01,740 --> 00:15:01,990
housing when a simple1300 square

453
00:15:09,300 --> 00:15:09,550
foot houses almost $250,000 you

454
00:15:09,700 --> 00:15:09,950
know, I I don't know what how

455
00:15:10,900 --> 00:15:11,150
we're ever going to catch up but

456
00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:12,970
you know there are going to be

457
00:15:13,900 --> 00:15:14,150
you know it's one of the things

458
00:15:14,740 --> 00:15:14,990
we have to do is maybe there

459
00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:15,930
might be some federal federal or

460
00:15:17,540 --> 00:15:17,790
state assistance to do that but

461
00:15:19,060 --> 00:15:19,310
that's the next thing so

462
00:15:20,900 --> 00:15:21,150
recreation education housing and

463
00:15:24,100 --> 00:15:24,350
jobs

464
00:15:25,660 --> 00:15:25,910
and with that if there's any

465
00:15:27,220 --> 00:15:27,470
questions I'll be glad to answer

466
00:15:29,480 --> 00:15:29,730

trying to have us host this

meeting however

508
00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:50,490
you know due to unforeseen

509
00:16:52,100 --> 00:16:52,350
circumstances we have to you

510
00:16:54,100 --> 00:16:54,350
know we were without water there

511
00:16:56,080 --> 00:16:56,330
for a while we were without

512
00:16:58,200 --> 00:16:58,450
internet and electric and we had

513
00:17:00,520 --> 00:17:00,770
a lot of stranded relatives

514
00:17:02,980 --> 00:17:03,230
that we needed to house at the

515
00:17:04,580 --> 00:17:04,830
chapter anyway so we've been

516
00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:08,250

517
00:17:12,120 --> 00:17:12,370

526
00:17:28,080 --> 00:17:28,330

581
00:19:36,420 --> 00:19:36,670
that and some projects have been

582
00:19:38,160 --> 00:19:38,410
successfully done and one

583
00:19:41,580 --> 00:19:41,830
thing before anything as I

584
00:19:43,500 --> 00:19:43,750
wanted to say I hope you still

585
00:19:45,120 --> 00:19:45,370
support us with the the projects

586
00:19:47,880 --> 00:19:48,130
that are still pending like

587
00:19:49,540 --> 00:19:49,790
the highway491 lighting

588
00:19:52,560 --> 00:19:52,810
and if you guys were over at

589
00:19:54,600 --> 00:19:54,850
the chapter I was and go ahead

590
00:19:56,140 --> 00:19:56,390
and have you witness all the

591
00:19:59,200 --> 00:19:59,450
fast vehicles that are going

592
00:20:00,700 --> 00:20:00,950
through and we have an

593
00:20:02,180 --> 00:20:02,430
elementary school there is no

594
00:20:04,520 --> 00:20:04,770
slowdown signs there is no

595
00:20:06,860 --> 00:20:07,110
bus pullout nothing like that

596
00:20:09,800 --> 00:20:10,050
people are just passing through

597
00:20:12,340 --> 00:20:12,590
there so fast there is no bump,

598
00:20:14,860 --> 00:20:15,110
nothing to warn people that

599
00:20:16,320 --> 00:20:16,570
there's a school there or

600
00:20:18,460 --> 00:20:18,710
anything so please I would

601
00:20:20,800 --> 00:20:21,050
suggest that you guys

602
00:20:21,900 --> 00:20:22,150
look into that and see what we

603
00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:25,250
can do to eliminate or to slow

604
00:20:26,980 --> 00:20:27,230
down traffic through there

605
00:20:29,120 --> 00:20:29,370
and then another thing that that

606
00:20:31,040 --> 00:20:31,290
you know is on my mind while

607
00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:33,490
I'm here is that we do we

608
00:20:36,520 --> 00:20:36,770
did pay the money that you guys

609
00:20:39,840 --> 00:20:40,090
did give paid for the safety

610
00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:43,250
audit that took all the money

611
00:20:45,220 --> 00:20:45,470
that your you allocated so

612
00:20:48,120 --> 00:20:48,370
now it's just the construction

613
00:20:49,900 --> 00:20:50,150
that's all you know pending and

614
00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:53,250
they say that we need more

615
00:20:55,680 --> 00:20:55,930
money1.4 million to complete and

616
00:20:58,100 --> 00:20:58,350
we really

617
00:20:58,520 --> 00:20:58,770
request that and hopefully it

618
00:21:01,520 --> 00:21:01,770
can be done soon

619
00:21:03,560 --> 00:21:03,810
and then and then thank you

620
00:21:05,960 --> 00:21:06,210
so much for

621
00:21:11,460 --> 00:21:11,710
JohnsonRoad. it is now a major

622
00:21:12,900 --> 00:21:13,150
road in our community thank you

623
00:21:15,160 --> 00:21:15,410
Patty Lindstrum for pushing

624
00:21:17,860 --> 00:21:18,110
that through for us

625
00:21:19,380 --> 00:21:19,630
and now we get all of the coyote

626
00:21:23,960 --> 00:21:24,210
Kenyan transportation to people

627
00:21:24,260 --> 00:21:24,510
coming from Coyota Canyon go

628
00:21:26,040 --> 00:21:26,290
through that road people coming

629
00:21:29,120 --> 00:21:29,370
fromortlegai roadad go through

630
00:21:29,640 --> 00:21:29,890
that road so it's really it

631
00:21:32,060 --> 00:21:32,310
needs to be completed the

632
00:21:35,120 --> 00:21:35,370
construction was not completed

633
00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:39,130
2.2 miles of it is still

634
00:21:40,180 --> 00:21:40,430
unfinished due to the fact that

635
00:21:42,580 --> 00:21:42,830
money ran short but I would

636
00:21:45,300 --> 00:21:45,550
really recommend that that being

637
00:21:47,180 --> 00:21:47,430
that it's a major road right

638
00:21:49,120 --> 00:21:49,370
now but it has a lot of potholes

639
00:21:51,620 --> 00:21:51,870
now you know due to you know

640
00:21:53,080 --> 00:21:53,330
people going through there a lot

641
00:21:56,680 --> 00:21:56,930
and it's one of the major roads

642
00:21:58,240 --> 00:21:58,490
and one of our bridges are ready

643
00:21:59,940 --> 00:22:00,190
to give out and there's two

644
00:22:02,120 --> 00:22:02,370
bridges on that road but anyway

645
00:22:04,660 --> 00:22:04,910
I wanted to highlight that

646
00:22:06,380 --> 00:22:06,630
for you guys and then thankfully

647
00:22:08,480 --> 00:22:08,730
the money that you all allocated

648
00:22:11,020 --> 00:22:11,270
for the demolition of the old

649
00:22:12,760 --> 00:22:13,010
chapter itss finally going to

650
00:22:14,940 --> 00:22:15,190
happen it's out for bid and all

651
00:22:18,280 --> 00:22:18,530
that and

652
00:22:18,940 --> 00:22:19,190
asbestos cleanup needs to happen

653
00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:21,130
and all that they say but it's

654
00:22:23,200 --> 00:22:23,450
going to happen soon and it's

655
00:22:25,360 --> 00:22:25,610
out for bid so with that you

656
00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:28,210
know wanted to let you all know

657
00:22:30,280 --> 00:22:30,530
that that's going to happen

658
00:22:33,600 --> 00:22:33,850
and then and it's sad that

659
00:22:36,080 --> 00:22:36,330
the community cemetery that's

660
00:22:37,900 --> 00:22:38,150
really needed in our area.

661
00:22:40,260 --> 00:22:40,510
that money was reburied you know

662
00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:45,730
just because you know we have

663
00:22:46,920 --> 00:22:47,170
no project managers at the

664
00:22:49,080 --> 00:22:49,330
Navajo Nation

665
00:22:52,680 --> 00:22:52,930
in their government where you

666
00:22:55,580 --> 00:22:55,830
know the planned the projects

667
00:22:56,300 --> 00:22:56,550
and things like that people are

668
00:22:57,860 --> 00:22:58,110
leaving leaving their jobs and

669
00:23:00,500 --> 00:23:00,750
it's just staff turnover that's

670
00:23:02,200 --> 00:23:02,450
really slowing down things in

671
00:23:04,500 --> 00:23:04,750
the winter rock and with our

672
00:23:05,920 --> 00:23:06,170
chapter so we're just sitting

673
00:23:08,120 --> 00:23:08,370
idly by just waiting you know

674
00:23:10,190 --> 00:23:10,440
for these projects to be

675
00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:11,970
completed so you know that's I

676
00:23:14,920 --> 00:23:15,170
just wanted you guys to all

677
00:23:16,200 --> 00:23:16,450
understand that so you know it's

678
00:23:16,953 --> 00:23:17,203
really win the rock

679
00:23:20,520 --> 00:23:20,770
you know money stops there and

680
00:23:22,380 --> 00:23:22,630
all of that and you all know

681
00:23:23,700 --> 00:23:23,950
that so we just need people to

682
00:23:26,220 --> 00:23:26,470
push all that money through so

683
00:23:27,880 --> 00:23:28,130
it can you know accommodate our

684
00:23:30,260 --> 00:23:30,510
community

685
00:23:31,940 --> 00:23:32,190
and then one thing I want to

686
00:23:33,080 --> 00:23:33,330
suggest to the mayor is that

687
00:23:34,740 --> 00:23:34,990
maybe a sports complex in Gallup

688
00:23:36,780 --> 00:23:37,030
is due because you know I think

689
00:23:39,700 --> 00:23:39,950
it brings a lot of revenue

690
00:23:41,820 --> 00:23:42,070
and money you know are our

691
00:23:43,600 --> 00:23:43,850
sports and Navajo kids are

692
00:23:46,180 --> 00:23:46,430
really into sports and they

693
00:23:47,680 --> 00:23:47,930
bring that activity here and

694
00:23:49,860 --> 00:23:50,110
gallup

695
00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:51,930
you know makes makes money off

696
00:23:53,460 --> 00:23:53,710
of our people and all that and I

697
00:23:55,900 --> 00:23:56,150
think a sports complexes do here

698
00:23:58,480 --> 00:23:58,730
in Gallup

699
00:23:59,820 --> 00:24:00,070
either that or on the

700
00:24:01,160 --> 00:24:01,410
reservation on the highway491.

701
00:24:04,240 --> 00:24:04,490
but anyway, these are some of

702
00:24:06,140 --> 00:24:06,390
the things I wanted to highlight

703
00:24:07,580 --> 00:24:07,830
and

704
00:24:09,340 --> 00:24:09,590
just think about all this for

705
00:24:12,500 --> 00:24:12,750
us honorable leaders and we

706
00:24:14,900 --> 00:24:15,150
really appreciate all that you

707
00:24:16,460 --> 00:24:16,710
do and that's what I I have

708
00:24:19,760 --> 00:24:20,010
to say and the vice president

709
00:24:22,140 --> 00:24:22,390
here from the chapter I think

710
00:24:22,853 --> 00:24:23,103
will

711
00:24:25,600 --> 00:24:25,850
you know add to that

712
00:24:31,960 --> 00:24:32,210

718
00:24:49,200 --> 00:24:49,450

00:24:50,520 --> 00:24:50,770

ChR does not have a place to

00:25:32,540 --> 00:25:32,790
house herself so she's stuck in

740
00:25:34,300 --> 00:25:34,550
the corner at the chapter house

741
00:25:37,140 --> 00:25:37,390
that consists of all the

742
00:25:39,460 --> 00:25:39,710
functions the daily functions of

743
00:25:41,740 --> 00:25:41,990
our chapter house

744
00:25:43,400 --> 00:25:43,650
and we would have loved to show

745
00:25:45,520 --> 00:25:45,770
you and take you down some of

746
00:25:47,220 --> 00:25:47,470
these roads that men and

747
00:25:49,640 --> 00:25:49,890
majority of our people travel

748
00:25:51,380 --> 00:25:51,630
every single day and these roads

749
00:25:54,460 --> 00:25:54,710
are for school use hospital

750
00:25:57,580 --> 00:25:57,830
appointment just to go get food

751
00:26:00,560 --> 00:26:00,810
just daily survival

752
00:26:02,580 --> 00:26:02,830
and a lot of them are washed out

753
00:26:04,720 --> 00:26:04,970
at this around last week and

754
00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:07,250
this week mostly

755
00:26:09,260 --> 00:26:09,510
wo homes completely flooded and

756
00:26:12,400 --> 00:26:12,650
we're working diligently to

757
00:26:14,300 --> 00:26:14,550
replace those homes with

758
00:26:15,860 --> 00:26:16,110
whatever funds we can get our

759
00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:18,250
hands on

760
00:26:19,660 --> 00:26:19,910
and just to echo what my sister

761
00:26:22,220 --> 00:26:22,470
said were sisters by clan by the

762
00:26:24,340 --> 00:26:24,590
way I'm probably sisters and

763
00:26:26,040 --> 00:26:26,290
relatives of the leadership here

764
00:26:29,340 --> 00:26:29,590
we work with

765
00:26:30,340 --> 00:26:30,590
our local governments whether

766
00:26:33,520 --> 00:26:33,770
it be thenavajo nation the state

767
00:26:36,400 --> 00:26:36,650
government, the Mcinley County,

768
00:26:39,260 --> 00:26:39,510
the city

769
00:26:40,640 --> 00:26:40,890
we all work together and try to

770
00:26:43,680 --> 00:26:43,930
make things happen for our

771
00:26:45,080 --> 00:26:45,330
people we get call all hours of

772
00:26:48,140 --> 00:26:48,390
the night we get text messages.

773
00:26:50,860 --> 00:26:51,110
I am flooded what can you do is

774
00:26:53,300 --> 00:26:53,550
the chapter available and we

775
00:26:55,440 --> 00:26:55,690
have to go around and make the

776
00:26:57,400 --> 00:26:57,650
chapter accessible 24/7.

777
00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:00,290
and mind you we're missing one

778
00:27:02,220 --> 00:27:02,470
important employee at our local

779
00:27:04,320 --> 00:27:04,570
government letters the the area

780
00:27:07,040 --> 00:27:07,290
so that makes it even harder

781
00:27:09,320 --> 00:27:09,570
what they call a a a community

782
00:27:11,740 --> 00:27:11,990
service worker the position is

783
00:27:14,220 --> 00:27:14,470
vacant in our area.

784
00:27:15,940 --> 00:27:16,190
in our chapter

785
00:27:17,340 --> 00:27:17,590
so we have to rely on our local

786
00:27:19,360 --> 00:27:19,610
public employment program

787
00:27:21,040 --> 00:27:21,290
workers

788
00:27:22,320 --> 00:27:22,570
and that's just the gist of how

789
00:27:24,280 --> 00:27:24,530
we live our lives in twin lakes

790
00:27:27,560 --> 00:27:27,810
but I would not change it for

791
00:27:29,520 --> 00:27:29,770
anything else. I'm there to help

792
00:27:31,440 --> 00:27:31,690
my people wherever I can however

793
00:27:33,960 --> 00:27:34,210
I can and I really do appreciate

794
00:27:36,260 --> 00:27:36,510
you all listening to me a ha I

795
00:27:38,380 --> 00:27:38,630
appreciate you all and

796
00:27:40,720 --> 00:27:40,970
everything that you all do you

797
00:27:42,140 --> 00:27:42,390
know it takes a lot being in a

798
00:27:44,520 --> 00:27:44,770
position wearing all kinds of

799
00:27:46,120 --> 00:27:46,370
hats and I'm sure you'll all get

800
00:27:48,120 --> 00:27:48,370
told this too

801
00:27:49,460 --> 00:27:49,710
some good and some not so good

802
00:27:51,180 --> 00:27:51,430
but we managed to live all those

803
00:27:54,360 --> 00:27:54,610
moments

804
00:27:55,240 --> 00:27:55,490
thank you

805
00:27:59,770 --> 00:28:00,020
thank you I havepresentative

806
00:28:02,110 --> 00:28:02,360
Lindstrom. thank you madam

807
00:28:03,810 --> 00:28:04,060
Chair. I'd like to start by

808
00:28:05,610 --> 00:28:05,860
saying both Elouise and Joan are

809
00:28:08,190 --> 00:28:08,440
two of the hardestworking public

810
00:28:09,670 --> 00:28:09,920
servants I've ever met.

811
00:28:11,410 --> 00:28:11,660
I've worked with them for years

812
00:28:14,350 --> 00:28:14,600
Eloise obviously at the

813
00:28:15,710 --> 00:28:15,960
chapter level and Joan at the

814
00:28:17,250 --> 00:28:17,500
chapter level and the public

815
00:28:18,710 --> 00:28:18,960
schools

816
00:28:19,910 --> 00:28:20,160
I did want to ask you a question

817
00:28:22,010 --> 00:28:22,260
there's a concept being kicked

818
00:28:24,310 --> 00:28:24,560
around now that council

819
00:28:25,550 --> 00:28:25,800
delegates will determine where

820
00:28:27,450 --> 00:28:27,700
your capital outlay goes.

821
00:28:29,350 --> 00:28:29,600
that's in a nutshell what I've

822
00:28:31,730 --> 00:28:31,980
always said when they talked to

823
00:28:33,570 --> 00:28:33,820
me about it is I'm gonna put the

824
00:28:34,890 --> 00:28:35,140
money

825
00:28:35,110 --> 00:28:35,360
to the people that actually send

826
00:28:37,350 --> 00:28:37,600
me to Santa Fe and I'm still

827
00:28:39,010 --> 00:28:39,260
gonna do that regardless of what

828
00:28:41,050 --> 00:28:41,300
everybody else does.

829
00:28:42,770 --> 00:28:43,020
because I think you know your

830
00:28:44,930 --> 00:28:45,180
community's at a heart level you

831
00:28:46,750 --> 00:28:47,000
know exactly where those

832
00:28:48,350 --> 00:28:48,600
pressure points are

833
00:28:50,670 --> 00:28:50,920
when you talk about things

834
00:28:52,270 --> 00:28:52,520
like JohnsonRoad. we worked on

835
00:28:54,590 --> 00:28:54,840
that project for probably5 years

836
00:28:56,410 --> 00:28:56,660
or longer. All those road

837
00:28:58,510 --> 00:28:58,760
projects I was involved with the

838
00:29:01,150 --> 00:29:01,400
new chapter building and that

839
00:29:03,270 --> 00:29:03,520
was yours in the making

840
00:29:05,010 --> 00:29:05,260
and it worked out fine for us

841
00:29:07,090 --> 00:29:07,340
and we're the rubber hits the

842
00:29:08,850 --> 00:29:09,100
road for us is what happens in

843
00:29:09,650 --> 00:29:09,900
Wind orRock.

844
00:29:11,690 --> 00:29:11,940
we don't have any control over

845
00:29:13,250 --> 00:29:13,500
that

846
00:29:14,090 --> 00:29:14,340
but what I wanted to ask is that

847
00:29:16,670 --> 00:29:16,920
there is a

848
00:29:17,290 --> 00:29:17,540
a group that's called the New

849
00:29:20,590 --> 00:29:20,840
Mexico delegation they're made

850
00:29:22,370 --> 00:29:22,620
up of different council

851
00:29:23,330 --> 00:29:23,580
delegates they're supposed to

852
00:29:25,010 --> 00:29:25,260
meet with us on a regular basis

853
00:29:27,350 --> 00:29:27,600
and they meet with us and tell

854
00:29:29,650 --> 00:29:29,900
us what the needs of the of the

855
00:29:31,190 --> 00:29:31,440
tribe is you know in general

856
00:29:34,690 --> 00:29:34,940
and

857
00:29:35,350 --> 00:29:35,600
what I've always found

858
00:29:36,770 --> 00:29:37,020
interesting is that they've

859
00:29:39,370 --> 00:29:39,620
never brought up this thing

860
00:29:40,450 --> 00:29:40,700
about cemeteries now the

861
00:29:42,090 --> 00:29:42,340
cemetery issue is a regulation

862
00:29:44,070 --> 00:29:44,320
that's changed across the entire

863
00:29:46,070 --> 00:29:46,320
Navajo nation

864
00:29:47,980 --> 00:29:48,230
so why on earth money would

865
00:29:49,950 --> 00:29:50,200
revert especially knowing that

866
00:29:52,170 --> 00:29:52,420
I'm the one who put that in

867
00:29:53,190 --> 00:29:53,440
there bugs me. it bugs me

868
00:29:55,690 --> 00:29:55,940
because those regulations came

869
00:29:57,950 --> 00:29:58,200
out of wenderock for the

870
00:29:59,410 --> 00:29:59,660
chapters to follow. It would

871
00:30:01,480 --> 00:30:01,730
make sense to me that this New

872
00:30:03,580 --> 00:30:03,830
Mexico delegation of council

873
00:30:06,620 --> 00:30:06,870
delegates would come together

874
00:30:08,360 --> 00:30:08,610
ask for one appropriation for

875
00:30:11,160 --> 00:30:11,410
all the chapters that are

876
00:30:12,280 --> 00:30:12,530
looking at upgrading your

877
00:30:13,620 --> 00:30:13,870
cemeteries

878
00:30:15,260 --> 00:30:15,510
for improvements for cemeteries

879
00:30:16,880 --> 00:30:17,130
across New Mexico chapters and

880
00:30:19,280 --> 00:30:19,530
we put that in as one capital

881
00:30:20,840 --> 00:30:21,090
request.

882
00:30:22,020 --> 00:30:22,270
but that's not how it happens

883
00:30:24,860 --> 00:30:25,110
So I I don't know if you guys go

884
00:30:26,880 --> 00:30:27,130
to those meetings or can talk

885
00:30:29,700 --> 00:30:29,950
to your delegates about that

886
00:30:31,980 --> 00:30:32,230
but I think we need one request

887
00:30:33,900 --> 00:30:34,150
so we can help all of them. I've

888
00:30:37,400 --> 00:30:37,650
had3 or4 now different chapters

889
00:30:38,660 --> 00:30:38,910
that have asked for cemetery

890
00:30:40,040 --> 00:30:40,290
improvement money and and I know

891
00:30:42,320 --> 00:30:42,570
you need it because the

892
00:30:43,460 --> 00:30:43,710
regulations have changed and

893
00:30:45,660 --> 00:30:45,910
there's no money that comes with

894
00:30:46,940 --> 00:30:47,190
that regulatory change

895
00:30:48,980 --> 00:30:49,230
so I would strongly suggest that

896
00:30:53,120 --> 00:30:53,370
maybe this committee can just

897
00:30:54,760 --> 00:30:55,010
work on that anyway

898
00:30:56,540 --> 00:30:56,790
but I don't want to jump the gun

899
00:30:58,320 --> 00:30:58,570
if the chapters have changed

900
00:30:59,780 --> 00:31:00,030
their priorities but I I know

901
00:31:01,760 --> 00:31:02,010
cemeteries are a big deal and

902
00:31:03,520 --> 00:31:03,770
I've had I've got at least4 now

903
00:31:05,460 --> 00:31:05,710
that want to see upgrade

904
00:31:08,240 --> 00:31:08,490
but I wanna cre appreciate you

905
00:31:10,280 --> 00:31:10,530
too and thank you for coming

906
00:31:11,400 --> 00:31:11,650
out. thanks for being partners

907
00:31:13,440 --> 00:31:13,690
in the trenches when it matters

908
00:31:15,180 --> 00:31:15,430
the most and anything I can do

909
00:31:17,840 --> 00:31:18,090
just ask me

910
00:31:25,480 --> 00:31:25,730

established

931
00:32:17,790 --> 00:32:18,040
ok so there's no land withdrawal

932
00:32:19,750 --> 00:32:20,000
that's been done. Yes or where

working on the you know

937
00:32:32,531 --> 00:32:32,781
acquiring that first

938
00:32:34,310 --> 00:32:34,560
we're going to start with the

939
00:32:35,150 --> 00:32:35,400
four acres you know right now we

940
00:32:38,890 --> 00:32:39,140
had it set for11 acres and we

941
00:32:42,090 --> 00:32:42,340
did get a land withdrawal done.

942
00:32:44,150 --> 00:32:44,400
it's going through right now and

943
00:32:46,270 --> 00:32:46,520
we have

944
00:32:46,770 --> 00:32:47,020
permission from the

945
00:32:48,707 --> 00:32:48,957

00:32:51,430 --> 00:32:51,680
cemetery there and it's on route

many miles down three miles down

00:34:02,830 --> 00:34:03,080
it's reverted back to11.5 and

978
00:34:05,730 --> 00:34:05,980
we're asking for access to the

979
00:34:08,590 --> 00:34:08,840
area and it's right along the

980
00:34:10,930 --> 00:34:11,180
line that gas line but it's

981
00:34:14,370 --> 00:34:14,620
not right in the area it's

982
00:34:16,130 --> 00:34:16,380
beside the area so we're going

983
00:34:18,190 --> 00:34:18,440
to have to ask for permission

984
00:34:19,610 --> 00:34:19,860
from the company there just

985
00:34:22,170 --> 00:34:22,420
little minor steps that we're

986
00:34:23,610 --> 00:34:23,860
still working on

987
00:34:25,750 --> 00:34:26,000
otherwise

988
00:34:27,590 --> 00:34:27,840

989
00:34:29,970 --> 00:34:30,220

990
00:34:34,710 --> 00:34:34,960
president for lupsy. she knows

991
00:34:35,390 --> 00:34:35,640
what she's doing

992
00:34:36,750 --> 00:34:37,000
that's her job and she's got a

993
00:34:38,510 --> 00:34:38,760
lot of experience with that so

994
00:34:40,130 --> 00:34:40,380
she's leading us through and

995
00:34:42,770 --> 00:34:43,020
I have the packet with me and I

996
00:34:45,150 --> 00:34:45,400
just as soon as I get the

997
00:34:46,290 --> 00:34:46,540
signatures from the young man

998
00:34:47,950 --> 00:34:48,200
we're on our way

999
00:34:50,910 --> 00:34:51,160
thank you and it's it's kind of

1000
00:34:52,890 --> 00:34:53,140
just letting our members know

1001
00:34:54,070 --> 00:34:54,320
too what we what our challenges

1002
00:34:56,130 --> 00:34:56,380
are within the chapter because

1003
00:34:57,690 --> 00:34:57,940
not every chapter has a cemetery

1004
00:35:01,290 --> 00:35:01,540
ours actually in hatchie's maxed

1005
00:35:03,670 --> 00:35:03,920
out and they did extend it but

1006
00:35:05,450 --> 00:35:05,700
with the upgrades to the burial

1007
00:35:08,150 --> 00:35:08,400
procedure it has to be fenced

1008
00:35:11,190 --> 00:35:11,440
and it has to have public access

1009
00:35:13,270 --> 00:35:13,520
is part of it so they didn't

1010
00:35:17,210 --> 00:35:17,460
say actually criteria for what

1011
00:35:19,310 --> 00:35:19,560
public access is I don't know

1012
00:35:22,110 --> 00:35:22,360
as far as grading the road

1013
00:35:23,290 --> 00:35:23,540
because I if that

1014
00:35:25,390 --> 00:35:25,640
because I know there are

1015
00:35:26,430 --> 00:35:26,680
restrictions when you go over

1016
00:35:28,170 --> 00:35:28,420
the gas line as far as grading

1017
00:35:29,790 --> 00:35:30,040
or any kind of road improvement

1018
00:35:33,030 --> 00:35:33,280
yeah it's very difficult

1019
00:35:36,650 --> 00:35:36,900
the water situation

1020
00:35:40,170 --> 00:35:40,420
it was interesting this morning

1021
00:35:42,670 --> 00:35:42,920
cause I was on my way to the

1022
00:35:43,890 --> 00:35:44,140
meeting here and they said it is

1023
00:35:45,550 --> 00:35:45,800
not just a it happens

1024
00:35:47,590 --> 00:35:47,840
periodically. how often does

1025
00:35:49,250 --> 00:35:49,500
that happen in what areas of the

1026
00:35:51,130 --> 00:35:51,380
twin lakes is happening at it

1027
00:35:53,990 --> 00:35:54,240
sounds like you guys are losing

1028
00:35:55,150 --> 00:35:55,400
water often well to answer

1029
00:35:59,410 --> 00:35:59,660
your question

1030
00:36:00,350 --> 00:36:00,600
chair

1031
00:36:03,410 --> 00:36:03,660
it happens

1032
00:36:04,930 --> 00:36:05,180
I would say more than

1033
00:36:06,990 --> 00:36:07,240
periodically we either have no

1034
00:36:09,010 --> 00:36:09,260
water or no electricity.

1035
00:36:12,430 --> 00:36:12,680
and it's only like a certain

1036
00:36:14,750 --> 00:36:15,000
section and I don't know if ours

1037
00:36:17,010 --> 00:36:17,260
we live in that area where it's

1038
00:36:19,110 --> 00:36:19,360
always been impacted

1039
00:36:21,210 --> 00:36:21,460
our neighbors would have water

1040
00:36:24,270 --> 00:36:24,520
neighborighs on the other side

1041
00:36:25,050 --> 00:36:25,300
would have water but I don't

1042
00:36:27,050 --> 00:36:27,300
know if our water tank is

1043
00:36:28,690 --> 00:36:28,940
connected withexican springs

1044
00:36:30,310 --> 00:36:30,560
when they're without water we

1045
00:36:32,370 --> 00:36:32,620
don't have water and that water

1046
00:36:34,490 --> 00:36:34,740
what the the area that I'm

1047
00:36:36,390 --> 00:36:36,640
talking about is if you know

1048
00:36:37,870 --> 00:36:38,120
where the chapter house is

1049
00:36:39,370 --> 00:36:39,620
straight down east from there

1050
00:36:41,370 --> 00:36:41,620
and you notice the housing there

1051
00:36:42,950 --> 00:36:43,200
and the elementary is just east

1052
00:36:45,150 --> 00:36:45,400
of Dda Headart is just east of

1053
00:36:47,810 --> 00:36:48,060
there yeah

1054
00:36:49,970 --> 00:36:50,220
Twin Lakes housing yeah just

1055
00:36:52,530 --> 00:36:52,780
it's that whole strip will have

1056
00:36:53,950 --> 00:36:54,200
no water

1057
00:36:55,090 --> 00:36:55,340
and if and if the power goes

1058
00:36:58,190 --> 00:36:58,440
out it's completely out a

1059
00:37:00,550 --> 00:37:00,800
blackout

1060
00:37:01,270 --> 00:37:01,520
and you just I mean people will

1061
00:37:04,070 --> 00:37:04,320
call me I will call NTUA and try

1062
00:37:06,290 --> 00:37:06,540
to get somebody get some

1063
00:37:07,370 --> 00:37:07,620
information really back to

1064
00:37:08,930 --> 00:37:09,180
the community residents

1065
00:37:11,630 --> 00:37:11,880
so NTUA is aware of it

1066
00:37:15,690 --> 00:37:15,940
we've been calling and calling

1067
00:37:17,390 --> 00:37:17,640
and

1068
00:37:17,870 --> 00:37:18,120
their answer is always your area

1069
00:37:21,990 --> 00:37:22,240
is not the only one affected all

1070
00:37:24,370 --> 00:37:24,620
these other areas so we'll

1071
00:37:26,070 --> 00:37:26,320
address it when we will address

1072
00:37:28,430 --> 00:37:28,680
it when we find a broken water

1073
00:37:30,270 --> 00:37:30,520
line

1074
00:37:32,450 --> 00:37:32,700
so you don't know if it's

1075
00:37:33,930 --> 00:37:34,180
actually a broken water line or

1076
00:37:36,590 --> 00:37:36,840
don't know we just report it you

1077
00:37:38,330 --> 00:37:38,580
just report it what happens

1078
00:37:40,990 --> 00:37:41,240
at the school do you know if

1079
00:37:43,070 --> 00:37:43,320
they don't have any water they

1080
00:37:44,550 --> 00:37:44,800
get water delivered water

1081
00:37:46,610 --> 00:37:46,860
bottles delivered and then they

1082
00:37:49,230 --> 00:37:49,480
also have

1083
00:37:50,190 --> 00:37:50,440
other alternative ways

1084
00:37:53,290 --> 00:37:53,540
for the restroom facility

1085
00:37:56,210 --> 00:37:56,460
or if worst comes to worst

1086
00:37:59,150 --> 00:37:59,400
the last thing they do I know

1087
00:38:01,210 --> 00:38:01,460
for a fact is they don't release

1088
00:38:04,450 --> 00:38:04,700
school any time during the

1089
00:38:05,290 --> 00:38:05,540
school day because they don't

1090
00:38:06,610 --> 00:38:06,860
know if anybody will be home to

1091
00:38:08,350 --> 00:38:08,600
receive the kits or even if they

1092
00:38:10,870 --> 00:38:11,120
have a key to get into their

1093
00:38:12,230 --> 00:38:12,480
house

1094
00:38:12,990 --> 00:38:13,240
it's better and safer for them

1095
00:38:14,990 --> 00:38:15,240
to stay at the school and I just

1096
00:38:17,290 --> 00:38:17,540
want members to know this is

1097
00:38:18,930 --> 00:38:19,180
this happens atchi too it

1098
00:38:20,930 --> 00:38:21,180
happened once a couple of years

1099
00:38:23,350 --> 00:38:23,600
at elementary you we have and

1100
00:38:24,670 --> 00:38:24,920
they told my kids that because

1101
00:38:26,830 --> 00:38:27,080
they couldn't get porta potties

1102
00:38:28,550 --> 00:38:28,800
they had to get on the bus and

1103
00:38:30,570 --> 00:38:30,820
go to Twinlakes to use the

1104
00:38:32,050 --> 00:38:32,300
restroom at one moment

1105
00:38:34,250 --> 00:38:34,500
so this is it's an issue I

1106
00:38:38,030 --> 00:38:38,280
and you have reached out

1107
00:38:39,709 --> 00:38:39,959
tonTwe ok

1108
00:38:43,670 --> 00:38:43,920
I'm I'm going to talk to our our

1109
00:38:45,630 --> 00:38:45,880
our public school company they

1110
00:38:47,410 --> 00:38:47,660
oversight task force and PED and

1111
00:38:50,510 --> 00:38:50,760
then we'll go from there too and

1112
00:38:55,270 --> 00:38:55,520
and the delegates

1113
00:38:56,490 --> 00:38:56,740
somebody from the nation's far

1114
00:38:59,430 --> 00:38:59,680
leadership are they aware

1115
00:39:01,747 --> 00:39:01,997
thelDAs or I think oh

1116
00:39:05,670 --> 00:39:05,920
thelAs are the ones that work

1117
00:39:07,150 --> 00:39:07,400
for council delegate that

1118
00:39:09,890 --> 00:39:10,140
because they they're the ones

1119
00:39:11,130 --> 00:39:11,380
attending the meetings and you

1120
00:39:12,590 --> 00:39:12,840
haven't spoken to a delegate

1121
00:39:13,970 --> 00:39:14,220
directly more than the delegate

1122
00:39:16,470 --> 00:39:16,720
because delegates always in

1123
00:39:18,670 --> 00:39:18,920
the window on those committee

1124
00:39:20,050 --> 00:39:20,300
meetings and all that so he

1125
00:39:22,850 --> 00:39:23,100
has 2 2lDAs that work under him

1126
00:39:25,570 --> 00:39:25,820
so they go to these meetings at

1127
00:39:27,690 --> 00:39:27,940
the local level can you have

1128
00:39:29,870 --> 00:39:30,120
something generated written

1129
00:39:33,550 --> 00:39:33,800
to the the members or to me and

1130
00:39:34,130 --> 00:39:34,380
then I'll

1131
00:39:34,470 --> 00:39:34,720
disseminate it to to our members

1132
00:39:36,230 --> 00:39:36,480
here

1133
00:39:36,570 --> 00:39:36,820
to read it over in that way

1134
00:39:39,510 --> 00:39:39,760
representatives here can also

1135
00:39:42,210 --> 00:39:42,460
take it up the line to our to

1136
00:39:44,530 --> 00:39:44,780
who we talk to too and get it

1137
00:39:46,990 --> 00:39:47,240
addressed cause I think it is in

1138
00:39:48,950 --> 00:39:49,200
especially when we talk about

1139
00:39:50,970 --> 00:39:51,220
our children

1140
00:39:52,910 --> 00:39:53,160
it should probably even go to

1141
00:39:53,930 --> 00:39:54,180
OEh in some instances because

1142
00:39:55,630 --> 00:39:55,880
I'm assuming that senior center

1143
00:39:57,390 --> 00:39:57,640
and that gets shut down when the

1144
00:39:59,230 --> 00:39:59,480
water pressures because you

1145
00:40:00,600 --> 00:40:00,850
can't have you can't

1146
00:40:03,760 --> 00:40:04,010
ok let me see the chapter I

1147
00:40:08,120 --> 00:40:08,370
know that the old chapter

1148
00:40:09,880 --> 00:40:10,130
house with the demolition you

1149
00:40:12,060 --> 00:40:12,310
need to report that to us to in

1150
00:40:14,380 --> 00:40:14,630
that process of where you're

1151
00:40:15,720 --> 00:40:15,970
standing because right now on my

1152
00:40:17,660 --> 00:40:17,910
list that I just received last

1153
00:40:19,180 --> 00:40:19,430
week that it says nobody's

1154
00:40:21,760 --> 00:40:22,010
reported anything and you guys

1155
00:40:23,220 --> 00:40:23,470
are under the red about where

1156
00:40:24,940 --> 00:40:25,190
the project stands so you need

1157
00:40:27,100 --> 00:40:27,350
to call our DFfa and let them

1158
00:40:29,720 --> 00:40:29,970
know where you guys are at in

1159
00:40:31,440 --> 00:40:31,690
the process so it reflects in

1160
00:40:33,060 --> 00:40:33,310
what

1161
00:40:33,580 --> 00:40:33,830
I receive or else will be in

1162
00:40:35,940 --> 00:40:36,190
trouble by the time the session

1163
00:40:39,020 --> 00:40:39,270
startsmorrow we're having a

1164
00:40:40,040 --> 00:40:40,290
leadership meeting tomorrow

1165
00:40:41,300 --> 00:40:41,550
morning at the chapter and

1166
00:40:43,080 --> 00:40:43,330
that's when the council delegate

1167
00:40:44,700 --> 00:40:44,950
and his LDA that's when we we

1168
00:40:47,100 --> 00:40:47,350
report to each others

1169
00:40:49,780 --> 00:40:50,030
and the officials so and yeah

1170
00:40:51,420 --> 00:40:51,670
they'll be that that will be on

1171
00:40:54,160 --> 00:40:54,410
the list yeah and I just want to

1172
00:40:56,200 --> 00:40:56,450
make sure too I mean I'm not

1173
00:40:57,920 --> 00:40:58,170
trying to because I know I

1174
00:41:00,460 --> 00:41:00,710
have other chapter leaders here

1175
00:41:02,400 --> 00:41:02,650
and community members here that

1176
00:41:04,800 --> 00:41:05,050
if we're not really aware of

1177
00:41:06,680 --> 00:41:06,930
the situation but we need

1178
00:41:08,020 --> 00:41:08,270
something in writing even when I

1179
00:41:10,740 --> 00:41:10,990
talked to my congressional

1180
00:41:11,560 --> 00:41:11,810
leaders especially when it's

1181
00:41:13,020 --> 00:41:13,270
like a federal road or something

1182
00:41:14,300 --> 00:41:14,550
is it's like yeah there's a

1183
00:41:16,480 --> 00:41:16,730
problem with this road

1184
00:41:18,100 --> 00:41:18,350
no it's not just because I'm

1185
00:41:19,620 --> 00:41:19,870
driving on it but I need a

1186
00:41:21,120 --> 00:41:21,370
community member to come forward

1187
00:41:22,580 --> 00:41:22,830
and put that in writing so I can

1188
00:41:24,800 --> 00:41:25,050
send it up and say this is an

1189
00:41:26,260 --> 00:41:26,510
issue coming from this person in

1190
00:41:27,840 --> 00:41:28,090
this community and that they're

1191
00:41:29,520 --> 00:41:29,770
not just thinking I'm trying to

1192
00:41:30,920 --> 00:41:31,170
do something that's easier for

1193
00:41:32,960 --> 00:41:33,210
me and to drive on to where I

1194
00:41:35,500 --> 00:41:35,750
drive or in any issue in that

1195
00:41:37,660 --> 00:41:37,910
sense so we need to receive that

1196
00:41:39,380 --> 00:41:39,630
in writing in that sense but

1197
00:41:41,720 --> 00:41:41,970
thank you for the work you do

1198
00:41:44,220 --> 00:41:44,470
and I believe that process to

1199
00:41:46,340 --> 00:41:46,590
that proposed process

1200
00:41:47,820 --> 00:41:48,070
was just recently proposed

1201
00:41:50,580 --> 00:41:50,830
but we're going back to to

1202
00:41:52,300 --> 00:41:52,550
make sure that you guys are

1203
00:41:53,300 --> 00:41:53,550
shovel ready in that sense but I

1204
00:41:55,620 --> 00:41:55,870
think it does, I don't think it

1205
00:41:57,360 --> 00:41:57,610
has been communicated to the

1206
00:41:58,820 --> 00:41:59,070
chapters yet because it seems

1207
00:42:00,560 --> 00:42:00,810
like it's coming top down and

1208
00:42:03,960 --> 00:42:04,210
then we'll go from there because

1209
00:42:05,240 --> 00:42:05,490
I do believe that Navajo Nation

1210
00:42:08,400 --> 00:42:08,650
areigrother has their process

1211
00:42:10,420 --> 00:42:10,670
that hurts our chapters and

1212
00:42:14,660 --> 00:42:14,910
they need to streamline it over

1213
00:42:16,000 --> 00:42:16,250
there and get their their ducks

1214
00:42:17,600 --> 00:42:17,850
in a row

1215
00:42:18,100 --> 00:42:18,350
and then let our our chapters

1216
00:42:19,720 --> 00:42:19,970
know

1217
00:42:20,060 --> 00:42:20,310
what's what's there but once

1218
00:42:22,480 --> 00:42:22,730
it's done it'll be communicated

1219
00:42:24,300 --> 00:42:24,550
out as soon as possible. I don't

1220
00:42:25,920 --> 00:42:26,170
know if you have any questions

1221
00:42:26,880 --> 00:42:27,130
for me. Oh, and the lighting

1222
00:42:28,660 --> 00:42:28,910
because I don't think you guys

1223
00:42:31,280 --> 00:42:31,530
ever had a school zone like

1224
00:42:33,540 --> 00:42:33,790
ever in that area. it was just a

1225
00:42:35,940 --> 00:42:36,190
safety corridor that was it.

1226
00:42:38,160 --> 00:42:38,410
Tohatchee does not have one

1227
00:42:40,100 --> 00:42:40,350
there's got

1228
00:42:40,320 --> 00:42:40,570
knocked down I think in an

1229
00:42:42,000 --> 00:42:42,250
accident or something but all

1230
00:42:44,000 --> 00:42:44,250
along for91, that's going to

1231
00:42:46,140 --> 00:42:46,390
be something I will will address

1232
00:42:48,760 --> 00:42:49,010
up and down49 because I

1233
00:42:51,340 --> 00:42:51,590
think new comes the other one

1234
00:42:53,800 --> 00:42:54,050
up and down there that needs

1235
00:42:55,760 --> 00:42:56,010
and even with the bus routes and

1236
00:43:00,080 --> 00:43:00,330
rockcksprings with the

1237
00:43:00,920 --> 00:43:01,170
because I do believetachi

1238
00:43:03,720 --> 00:43:03,970
changed her transportation route

1239
00:43:05,260 --> 00:43:05,510
so your school bus

1240
00:43:06,900 --> 00:43:07,150
transportation routes need to

1241
00:43:08,920 --> 00:43:09,170
make sure they're communicated

1242
00:43:10,440 --> 00:43:10,690
so that we know where that

1243
00:43:12,180 --> 00:43:12,430
zone's supposed to be how far

1244
00:43:13,520 --> 00:43:13,770
out

1245
00:43:13,820 --> 00:43:14,070
in that sense and I know we

1246
00:43:16,380 --> 00:43:16,630
did

1247
00:43:18,700 --> 00:43:18,950
I don't know if there's actually

1248
00:43:20,600 --> 00:43:20,850
needs to be a turnout extended

1249
00:43:22,900 --> 00:43:23,150
like they did at Chi Dodge

1250
00:43:24,620 --> 00:43:24,870
because we were having issues

1251
00:43:26,340 --> 00:43:26,590
right there on top of the hill

1252
00:43:27,680 --> 00:43:27,930
and you saw we extended that

1253
00:43:29,280 --> 00:43:29,530
lane out for for that traffic. I

1254
00:43:32,360 --> 00:43:32,610
don't know

1255
00:43:32,840 --> 00:43:33,090
how that but let's let's take

1256
00:43:36,480 --> 00:43:36,730
this further but thank you and

1257
00:43:38,540 --> 00:43:38,790
alluding to the turnout to the

1258
00:43:40,320 --> 00:43:40,570
elementary school needs to bewi.

1259
00:43:42,620 --> 00:43:42,870
we have two yeah big buses that

1260
00:43:45,320 --> 00:43:45,570
go in there and you can turn out

1261
00:43:47,540 --> 00:43:47,790
and then you wait for the

1262
00:43:48,640 --> 00:43:48,890
vehicles creates a congestion in

1263
00:43:51,520 --> 00:43:51,770
the mornings they told me

1264
00:43:52,880 --> 00:43:53,130
because I told them

1265
00:43:54,320 --> 00:43:54,570
tohachielementary was like that

1266
00:43:55,240 --> 00:43:55,490
and they said you're right it's

1267
00:43:56,820 --> 00:43:57,070
too narrow but I'm not sure what

1268
00:43:58,740 --> 00:43:58,990
we because that road right

1269
00:44:00,320 --> 00:44:00,570
there's a BIA road and that one

1270
00:44:02,520 --> 00:44:02,770
might be too right

1271
00:44:06,580 --> 00:44:06,830
to be ident yeah to the to the

1272
00:44:07,620 --> 00:44:07,870
housing ok

1273
00:44:09,560 --> 00:44:09,810
but that one was they did a

1274
00:44:11,800 --> 00:44:12,050
good job right there at Doy

1275
00:44:14,540 --> 00:44:14,790
dodge they completed it that's

1276
00:44:16,040 --> 00:44:16,290
yeah it's very safe and I like

1277
00:44:18,400 --> 00:44:18,650
it

1278
00:44:19,980 --> 00:44:20,230

00:44:26,760 --> 00:44:27,010
times but you guys are busy too

1284
00:44:30,040 --> 00:44:30,290

heavy equipment coming from

00:44:53,120 --> 00:44:53,370
Gallup headed up north on491 so

1297
00:44:55,780 --> 00:44:56,030

00:44:59,640 --> 00:44:59,890

1327

Gallup,

1328
00:48:59,580 --> 00:48:59,830
love my hometown I'd have to say

1329
00:49:01,640 --> 00:49:01,890
that's why I'm still here

1330
00:49:03,000 --> 00:49:03,250
good place to raise a family

1331
00:49:04,940 --> 00:49:05,190
fifth generation is here

1332
00:49:06,770 --> 00:49:07,020
One of these days we'll have a

1333
00:49:08,700 --> 00:49:08,950
sixthgeneration but right now I

1334
00:49:09,320 --> 00:49:09,570
have grand dogs

1335
00:49:12,580 --> 00:49:12,830
welcome welcome to Gallup.

1336
00:49:14,360 --> 00:49:14,610
we wanted to do a short

1337
00:49:15,700 --> 00:49:15,950
discussion on the Navajo Gallup

1338
00:49:17,380 --> 00:49:17,630
water supply project.

1339
00:49:19,300 --> 00:49:19,550
our mayor being the water

1340
00:49:21,520 --> 00:49:21,770
engineer that's been involved in

1341
00:49:23,040 --> 00:49:23,290
this since conception. I think

1342
00:49:25,080 --> 00:49:25,330
it'd be more appropriate for him

1343
00:49:26,420 --> 00:49:26,670
to talk about that. Then I've

1344
00:49:28,120 --> 00:49:28,370
also brought deborah Martinez

1345
00:49:30,180 --> 00:49:30,430
who runs our behavioral health

1346
00:49:31,860 --> 00:49:32,110
programs and I brought her in

1347
00:49:34,680 --> 00:49:34,930
so when we talked the unhoused

1348
00:49:36,000 --> 00:49:36,250
and housing initiatives

1349
00:49:38,380 --> 00:49:38,630
she she can give a deeper

1350
00:49:40,680 --> 00:49:40,930
background and answer more in

1351
00:49:42,640 --> 00:49:42,890
depth questions than I would be

1352
00:49:44,200 --> 00:49:44,450
able to. I know a little bit

1353
00:49:45,640 --> 00:49:45,890
about the city and every

1354
00:49:46,540 --> 00:49:46,790
component but we have experts

1355
00:49:49,460 --> 00:49:49,710
so'd like to turn it over to

1356
00:49:50,980 --> 00:49:51,230
Maor depaulli to talk about our

1357
00:49:51,720 --> 00:49:51,970
Navajo gallup

1358
00:49:55,320 --> 00:49:55,570
thanks rank then thanks again

1359
00:49:56,040 --> 00:49:56,290
for coming to madam chair and

1360
00:49:58,040 --> 00:49:58,290
everybody already gave an

1361
00:49:59,060 --> 00:49:59,310
introduction and welcome so

1362
00:50:01,380 --> 00:50:01,630
thenavel gallup project as you

1363
00:50:02,400 --> 00:50:02,650
guys know has been in the works

1364
00:50:03,580 --> 00:50:03,830
for over100 years1922 is when it

1365
00:50:07,020 --> 00:50:07,270
was first started and we're not

1366
00:50:08,280 --> 00:50:08,530
gonna go through all the

1367
00:50:08,940 --> 00:50:09,190
tribulations and stuff but it

1368
00:50:10,520 --> 00:50:10,770
was delayed in in 2019. the

1369
00:50:13,580 --> 00:50:13,830
delivery date was supposed to be

1370
00:50:16,539 --> 00:50:16,789
December31st,2024. that

1371
00:50:18,620 --> 00:50:18,870
delayed that data has been

1372
00:50:19,380 --> 00:50:19,630
delayed because of some some mac

1373
00:50:22,880 --> 00:50:23,130
operational things that that

1374
00:50:23,100 --> 00:50:23,350
would enhance the

1375
00:50:24,200 --> 00:50:24,450
project.

1376
00:50:25,360 --> 00:50:25,610
so right now the del delivery

1377
00:50:26,980 --> 00:50:27,230
date is set for about 2030.

1378
00:50:29,960 --> 00:50:30,210
hopefully by then the we'll

1379
00:50:32,040 --> 00:50:32,290
have the rest of the the water

1380
00:50:33,080 --> 00:50:33,330
treatment plant done and the the

1381
00:50:34,360 --> 00:50:34,610
water delivery facilities

1382
00:50:35,660 --> 00:50:35,910
installed and we'll be seeing

1383
00:50:37,800 --> 00:50:38,050
drinking water in gallup and

1384
00:50:39,920 --> 00:50:40,170
that means also all of our

1385
00:50:41,520 --> 00:50:41,770
neighbors to the north twin

1386
00:50:43,280 --> 00:50:43,530
Lakes of course Tohatchie and

1387
00:50:45,980 --> 00:50:46,230

through town but right now

1392
00:50:57,160 --> 00:50:57,410
we're still on groundwater and

1393
00:50:58,980 --> 00:50:59,230
we really appreciate all the the

1394
00:51:00,660 --> 00:51:00,910
help that the state has given us

1395
00:51:02,280 --> 00:51:02,530
by supplementing the delay in

1396
00:51:05,340 --> 00:51:05,590
the the compensating for the

1397
00:51:06,020 --> 00:51:06,270
delay and the delivery of the

1398
00:51:07,160 --> 00:51:07,410
surface water by giving us money

1399
00:51:09,020 --> 00:51:09,270
to drill wells so far we've

1400
00:51:11,060 --> 00:51:11,310
drilled about 6 wells and we

1401
00:51:13,160 --> 00:51:13,410
should have all three of those

1402
00:51:14,760 --> 00:51:15,010
equipped unfortunately

1403
00:51:17,240 --> 00:51:17,490
because of switch gear and

1404
00:51:19,400 --> 00:51:19,650
that's electrical switch gear

1405
00:51:20,820 --> 00:51:21,070
and and pumps we use the same

1406
00:51:23,700 --> 00:51:23,950
switch gear and pumps that they

1407
00:51:24,840 --> 00:51:25,090
use in the oil industry and when

1408
00:51:28,380 --> 00:51:28,630
oil's100 dollars a barrel

1409
00:51:29,520 --> 00:51:29,770
it's hard to get that those

1410
00:51:31,000 --> 00:51:31,250
companies to want even come to

1411
00:51:32,820 --> 00:51:33,070
gallup so we are having a little

1412
00:51:34,800 --> 00:51:35,050
bit of struggle getting our

1413
00:51:35,720 --> 00:51:35,970
water wells equipped with the

1414
00:51:37,780 --> 00:51:38,030
proper pumps and switch gear.

1415
00:51:40,300 --> 00:51:40,550
with that umc again should we

1416
00:51:42,820 --> 00:51:43,070
should have hopefully the I

1417
00:51:42,920 --> 00:51:43,170
think the water is on time to be

1418
00:51:44,520 --> 00:51:44,770
delivered so the surface water

1419
00:51:45,740 --> 00:51:45,990
should be here but in the

1420
00:51:46,840 --> 00:51:47,090
meantime we're still struggling

1421
00:51:47,840 --> 00:51:48,090
with groundwater

1422
00:51:48,280 --> 00:51:48,530
and if you do and if anybody has

1423
00:51:51,120 --> 00:51:51,370
any questions about thearbo

1424
00:51:52,600 --> 00:51:52,850
gallup or anything I'd be glad

1425
00:51:53,700 --> 00:51:53,950
to answer them.

1426
00:51:58,850 --> 00:51:59,100
Yeah let's go ahead and have you

1427
00:52:00,910 --> 00:52:01,160
all present and then we'll take

1428
00:52:02,070 --> 00:52:02,320
questions after so

1429
00:52:09,180 --> 00:52:09,430
Thank you vice chair.

1430
00:52:11,380 --> 00:52:11,630
attached you you we were giving

1431
00:52:13,600 --> 00:52:13,850
you several graphs

1432
00:52:17,680 --> 00:52:17,930
last winter

1433
00:52:20,160 --> 00:52:20,410
for the unhoused

1434
00:52:25,100 --> 00:52:25,350
ally gallup has a number

1435
00:52:30,440 --> 00:52:30,690
and

1436
00:52:31,000 --> 00:52:31,250
we were working to

1437
00:52:33,840 --> 00:52:34,090
I'm not plugged in sorry once

1438
00:52:35,540 --> 00:52:35,790
again we did a warming center

1439
00:52:36,960 --> 00:52:37,210
last winter. thank you very much

1440
00:52:40,020 --> 00:52:40,270
legislative council services

1441
00:52:41,380 --> 00:52:41,630
is always on top of things

1442
00:52:45,180 --> 00:52:45,430
we

1443
00:52:45,740 --> 00:52:45,990
had a warming center to try to

1444
00:52:47,960 --> 00:52:48,210
prevent exposure deaths

1445
00:52:50,940 --> 00:52:51,190
gallup traditionally has a large

1446
00:52:53,860 --> 00:52:54,110
number of exposure desks

1447
00:52:56,560 --> 00:52:56,810
it's it's not uncommon to see

1448
00:52:58,939 --> 00:52:59,189
subzero temperatures in Gallllup

1449
00:53:00,000 --> 00:53:00,250
during the wintertime.

1450
00:53:01,700 --> 00:53:01,950
so December 22nd through

1451
00:53:03,980 --> 00:53:04,230
February 28, we had a warming

1452
00:53:06,320 --> 00:53:06,570
center we leased a portion of a

1453
00:53:09,040 --> 00:53:09,290
motel provided daily ser

1454
00:53:11,380 --> 00:53:11,630
or evening services for them.

1455
00:53:15,960 --> 00:53:16,210
I'm not gonna say it was a

1456
00:53:17,720 --> 00:53:17,970
smooth

1457
00:53:20,080 --> 00:53:20,330
it it had some roadblocks

1458
00:53:23,600 --> 00:53:23,850
people wanting to bring alcohol

1459
00:53:25,260 --> 00:53:25,510
in weapons in some violence

1460
00:53:29,180 --> 00:53:29,430
so as we started we we had to

1461
00:53:31,520 --> 00:53:31,770
be equipped a little bit deeper

1462
00:53:32,320 --> 00:53:32,570
with security

1463
00:53:33,360 --> 00:53:33,610
and and other things to keep

1464
00:53:36,020 --> 00:53:36,270
staff safe

1465
00:53:38,700 --> 00:53:38,950
it it it we were hoping for

1466
00:53:40,600 --> 00:53:40,850
something smooth, appreciated,

1467
00:53:43,580 --> 00:53:43,830
I'm gonna say some families

1468
00:53:44,660 --> 00:53:44,910
did

1469
00:53:45,660 --> 00:53:45,910
it was troubling to see

1470
00:53:47,080 --> 00:53:47,330
having to see children

1471
00:53:48,180 --> 00:53:48,430
coming in

1472
00:53:49,520 --> 00:53:49,770
to it

1473
00:53:52,320 --> 00:53:52,570
so it it did serve its

1474
00:53:54,080 --> 00:53:54,330
purpose

1475
00:53:55,280 --> 00:53:55,530
but with not without

1476
00:53:56,620 --> 00:53:56,870
roadblocks and and that's

1477
00:53:58,160 --> 00:53:58,410
something that

1478
00:53:58,900 --> 00:53:59,150
the group that does take it this

1479
00:54:02,320 --> 00:54:02,570
next year if they want to. city

1480
00:54:04,400 --> 00:54:04,650
he'd be happy to be the fiscal

1481
00:54:05,280 --> 00:54:05,530
agent but we're asking

1482
00:54:07,060 --> 00:54:07,310
another group some some of

1483
00:54:09,600 --> 00:54:09,850
the groups that are wanting to

1484
00:54:10,520 --> 00:54:10,770
do cooling and warming centers

1485
00:54:11,800 --> 00:54:12,050
in the area

1486
00:54:12,540 --> 00:54:12,790
and are directly with the

1487
00:54:14,420 --> 00:54:14,670
unhoused already might already

1488
00:54:16,240 --> 00:54:16,490
have that expertise to to do it

1489
00:54:18,260 --> 00:54:18,510
more than what the city did.

1490
00:54:20,560 --> 00:54:20,810
again we provide services

1491
00:54:24,160 --> 00:54:24,410
we have

1492
00:54:25,180 --> 00:54:25,430
groups that that meet offer

1493
00:54:28,060 --> 00:54:28,310
services but when we're offering

1494
00:54:30,320 --> 00:54:30,570
services we're offering to to

1495
00:54:33,680 --> 00:54:33,930
external agencies we the city

1496
00:54:34,400 --> 00:54:34,650
itself doesn't do the direct

1497
00:54:36,320 --> 00:54:36,570
services

1498
00:54:36,920 --> 00:54:37,170
so we were stepping up on this

1499
00:54:39,220 --> 00:54:39,470
almost

1500
00:54:39,500 --> 00:54:39,750
expected to be more of a direct

1501
00:54:42,020 --> 00:54:42,270
service which we're not equipped

1502
00:54:43,380 --> 00:54:43,630
to do so we'd like to see

1503
00:54:45,220 --> 00:54:45,470
another one of the groups

1504
00:54:46,620 --> 00:54:46,870
take it but again they can't

1505
00:54:49,900 --> 00:54:50,150
really be the fiscal agent so I

1506
00:54:52,300 --> 00:54:52,550
I will offer the city services

1507
00:54:53,960 --> 00:54:54,210
to be that fiscal agent and help

1508
00:54:55,620 --> 00:54:55,870
coordinate the financing portion

1509
00:54:58,100 --> 00:54:58,350
but when it comes down to the

1510
00:54:59,280 --> 00:54:59,530
programming portion again we

1511
00:55:01,620 --> 00:55:01,870
would love to do intakes we

1512
00:55:03,300 --> 00:55:03,550
would love to help with the

1513
00:55:04,360 --> 00:55:04,610
referrals but we'd like to see

1514
00:55:06,220 --> 00:55:06,470
somebody who's equipped

1515
00:55:07,400 --> 00:55:07,650
dealing with all the

1516
00:55:09,380 --> 00:55:09,630
components of the unhoused to

1517
00:55:11,300 --> 00:55:11,550
actually do the services itself

1518
00:55:14,060 --> 00:55:14,310
so we don't want it to go away

1519
00:55:16,540 --> 00:55:16,790
but at the same time we don't

1520
00:55:17,940 --> 00:55:18,190
want to be the direct portion

1521
00:55:19,200 --> 00:55:19,450
because again safety for our

1522
00:55:21,340 --> 00:55:21,590
staff

1523
00:55:22,520 --> 00:55:22,770
and and then

1524
00:55:22,920 --> 00:55:23,170
we have knowledge but we're not

1525
00:55:26,300 --> 00:55:26,550
experts OK a lot of data

1526
00:55:28,820 --> 00:55:29,070
there for you and deb if you'd

1527
00:55:30,320 --> 00:55:30,570
like to talk about the the data

1528
00:55:34,700 --> 00:55:34,950
did a great job. again we we

1529
00:55:36,880 --> 00:55:37,130
do have these type of services

1530
00:55:38,480 --> 00:55:38,730
to to break down the data and

1531
00:55:42,540 --> 00:55:42,790
and to

1532
00:55:45,020 --> 00:55:45,270
I can't think of the name of

1533
00:55:46,620 --> 00:55:46,870
your

1534
00:55:49,200 --> 00:55:49,450
ro up that each of your grants

1535
00:55:50,060 --> 00:55:50,310
has to have that breaks the data

1536
00:55:51,440 --> 00:55:51,690
down

1537
00:55:53,300 --> 00:55:53,550
evaluate evaluator. we do have

1538
00:55:54,640 --> 00:55:54,890
those type of services so she

1539
00:55:56,040 --> 00:55:56,290
does a great job with the data

1540
00:55:58,800 --> 00:55:59,050
madam chairir committee

1541
00:56:01,580 --> 00:56:01,830
like we did we did a pilot

1542
00:56:02,800 --> 00:56:03,050
project with the emergency

1543
00:56:04,020 --> 00:56:04,270
shelter we contracted with

1544
00:56:05,920 --> 00:56:06,170
various programs they are

1545
00:56:08,440 --> 00:56:08,690
listed here we had

1546
00:56:10,240 --> 00:56:10,490
transport services we use the

1547
00:56:16,480 --> 00:56:16,730
hotel we gallupunity Health

1548
00:56:16,860 --> 00:56:17,110
was actually the ones operating

1549
00:56:18,720 --> 00:56:18,970
it but it took a lot of

1550
00:56:20,640 --> 00:56:20,890
manpower and you'll see some of

1551
00:56:22,260 --> 00:56:22,510
the recommendations out of of

1552
00:56:23,880 --> 00:56:24,130
the the warming shelter so we

1553
00:56:27,280 --> 00:56:27,530
had 292,971 intakes and out of

1554
00:56:32,280 --> 00:56:32,530
those there was 636 unique

1555
00:56:34,540 --> 00:56:34,790
individuals so you'll see split

1556
00:56:36,760 --> 00:56:37,010
it opened by population

1557
00:56:39,560 --> 00:56:39,810
and then the highest number of

1558
00:56:41,300 --> 00:56:41,550
stays there was 63 but you'll

1559
00:56:44,600 --> 00:56:44,850
see that a majority of the

1560
00:56:45,680 --> 00:56:45,930
people didn't stay less than5

1561
00:56:47,940 --> 00:56:48,190
days.

1562
00:56:49,360 --> 00:56:49,610
you'll see the population

1563
00:56:51,260 --> 00:56:51,510
we didn't break it down by the

1564
00:56:53,340 --> 00:56:53,590
time that we had got this going

1565
00:56:54,680 --> 00:56:54,930
it was kind of a last minute

1566
00:56:55,880 --> 00:56:56,130
thing it was an emergency

1567
00:56:57,160 --> 00:56:57,410
shelter 64% of the individuals

1568
00:57:00,160 --> 00:57:00,410
are from McKinley County. you'll

1569
00:57:02,240 --> 00:57:02,490
see the ethnicity the age range

1570
00:57:04,800 --> 00:57:05,050
and then the percentage of time

1571
00:57:06,400 --> 00:57:06,650
they were homelessness and then

1572
00:57:08,420 --> 00:57:08,670
which was interesting was the

1573
00:57:09,800 --> 00:57:10,050
barriers to housing a lot of

1574
00:57:11,960 --> 00:57:12,210
individuals had missing

1575
00:57:12,940 --> 00:57:13,190
documents had substance use

1576
00:57:15,080 --> 00:57:15,330
disorder, no housing for a large

1577
00:57:17,320 --> 00:57:17,570
families

1578
00:57:18,680 --> 00:57:18,930
access to services, access to

1579
00:57:20,900 --> 00:57:21,150
communication, no physical

1580
00:57:22,600 --> 00:57:22,850
mailing address, mental health

1581
00:57:24,720 --> 00:57:24,970
and rental prices

1582
00:57:33,000 --> 00:57:33,250
Thank you Deb we also do

1583
00:57:35,100 --> 00:57:35,350
outreach monthly where our

1584
00:57:37,840 --> 00:57:38,090
law enforcement fire, any

1585
00:57:40,520 --> 00:57:40,770
agency that wants to go along

1586
00:57:41,820 --> 00:57:42,070
with us and and then Deb's

1587
00:57:44,220 --> 00:57:44,470
department goes out and and

1588
00:57:46,960 --> 00:57:47,210
actually walks the ditches,

1589
00:57:49,100 --> 00:57:49,350
walks the area of traditional

1590
00:57:51,740 --> 00:57:51,990
unhoused locations a lot of our

1591
00:57:54,180 --> 00:57:54,430
transient camps and they go and

1592
00:57:55,720 --> 00:57:55,970
visit

1593
00:57:57,100 --> 00:57:57,350
and we we try to talk to him

1594
00:58:00,080 --> 00:58:00,330
build trust, offer services

1595
00:58:02,560 --> 00:58:02,810
find what the underlying causes

1596
00:58:04,340 --> 00:58:04,590
if it's housing how how can we

1597
00:58:06,700 --> 00:58:06,950
help refer you to to some place

1598
00:58:08,260 --> 00:58:08,510
to help with housing if it's

1599
00:58:09,980 --> 00:58:10,230
missing documents we we can help

1600
00:58:12,060 --> 00:58:12,310
to try to get him the documents

1601
00:58:14,000 --> 00:58:14,250
for substance abuse we can do

1602
00:58:15,220 --> 00:58:15,470
referrals but I'm gonna say

1603
00:58:17,000 --> 00:58:17,250
that's that's very difficult in

1604
00:58:18,500 --> 00:58:18,750
our area without mandatory

1605
00:58:23,254 --> 00:58:23,504
required

1606
00:58:25,440 --> 00:58:25,690
they they don't want to go

1607
00:58:27,200 --> 00:58:27,450
they don't wanna stay

1608
00:58:30,060 --> 00:58:30,310
we're we're finding that our

1609
00:58:31,780 --> 00:58:32,030
ditch roerco

1610
00:58:35,000 --> 00:58:35,250
the the river system is a haven

1611
00:58:37,120 --> 00:58:37,370
for the unhoused a lot of it

1612
00:58:41,380 --> 00:58:41,630
falls under state jurisdiction.

1613
00:58:42,500 --> 00:58:42,750
a lot of it falls under

1614
00:58:43,820 --> 00:58:44,070
Burlington Northern railroad

1615
00:58:45,660 --> 00:58:45,910
jurisdiction. some of it we have

1616
00:58:47,900 --> 00:58:48,150
no jurisdiction whatsoever so it

1617
00:58:50,860 --> 00:58:51,110
it becomes a a mecca for

1618
00:58:52,640 --> 00:58:52,890
prostitution for drugs used

1619
00:58:56,260 --> 00:58:56,510
to be alcohol which was easier

1620
00:58:58,160 --> 00:58:58,410
to deal with but now it's

1621
00:58:59,680 --> 00:58:59,930
fentanyl it's meth

1622
00:59:01,580 --> 00:59:01,830
it it it's it's getting deeper

1623
00:59:04,520 --> 00:59:04,770
I believe in the the mayor's

1624
00:59:06,440 --> 00:59:06,690
opening he talked about the

1625
00:59:08,580 --> 00:59:08,830
trafficking

1626
00:59:09,680 --> 00:59:09,930
and and it's amazing to hear how

1627
00:59:11,460 --> 00:59:11,710
many young girls that oh I just

1628
00:59:13,380 --> 00:59:13,630
had a ride into town and and and

1629
00:59:14,620 --> 00:59:14,870
they left me

1630
00:59:17,100 --> 00:59:17,350
that that's a cover

1631
00:59:19,000 --> 00:59:19,250
they're they're here they're

1632
00:59:20,220 --> 00:59:20,470
being they're being marketed

1633
00:59:22,620 --> 00:59:22,870
it's it's a sad and and it's

1634
00:59:24,380 --> 00:59:24,630
very difficult for us they

1635
00:59:25,700 --> 00:59:25,950
haven't committed a crime that

1636
00:59:26,920 --> 00:59:27,170
we know of. we know what's

1637
00:59:28,520 --> 00:59:28,770
happening but to prove it and

1638
00:59:30,600 --> 00:59:30,850
when they just tell you I'm I'm

1639
00:59:31,660 --> 00:59:31,910
here voluntarily I was left. I

1640
00:59:33,220 --> 00:59:33,470
don't want services

1641
00:59:35,000 --> 00:59:35,250
and they walk across the bridge

1642
00:59:36,480 --> 00:59:36,730
away from you and immediately

1643
00:59:37,880 --> 00:59:38,130
get picked up by somebody you

1644
00:59:40,020 --> 00:59:40,270
know they're being trafficked it

1645
00:59:41,400 --> 00:59:41,650
it it's it's a sad

1646
00:59:42,860 --> 00:59:43,110
sad step so

1647
00:59:45,140 --> 00:59:45,390
anything we can get for

1648
00:59:47,560 --> 00:59:47,810
mandatory treatment for those

1649
00:59:50,200 --> 00:59:50,450
that are not competent because

1650
00:59:52,180 --> 00:59:52,430
of the heavy drug use

1651
00:59:53,420 --> 00:59:53,670
or anything that can be helped

1652
00:59:55,620 --> 00:59:55,870
with

1653
00:59:56,240 --> 00:59:56,490
the the trafficking any laws

1654
01:00:00,260 --> 01:00:00,510
that you can do would be a great

1655
01:00:01,780 --> 01:00:02,030
help.

1656
01:00:02,880 --> 01:00:03,130
during these outreach this year

1657
01:00:04,260 --> 01:00:04,510
we're starting to collect deeper

1658
01:00:05,480 --> 01:00:05,730
data

1659
01:00:07,120 --> 01:00:07,370
one of them I brought was

1660
01:00:08,500 --> 01:00:08,750
where where the people are

1661
01:00:09,800 --> 01:00:10,050
coming from

1662
01:00:11,200 --> 01:00:11,450
so we did two

1663
01:00:11,620 --> 01:00:11,870
two so far August and September

1664
01:00:14,720 --> 01:00:14,970
for this fiscal year

1665
01:00:18,420 --> 01:00:18,670
these are low numbers

1666
01:00:21,360 --> 01:00:21,610
august we hit I believe

1667
01:00:24,000 --> 01:00:24,250
around50 some people the

1668
01:00:26,300 --> 01:00:26,550
September 1 we hit a little

1669
01:00:26,699 --> 01:00:26,949
over100

1670
01:00:29,240 --> 01:00:29,490
so it's it's not the best data

1671
01:00:31,100 --> 01:00:31,350
because of the small population

1672
01:00:32,660 --> 01:00:32,910
numbers but but you can see

1673
01:00:34,860 --> 01:00:35,110
where where the where the people

1674
01:00:39,380 --> 01:00:39,630
are coming from. In august

1675
01:00:41,500 --> 01:00:41,750
everybodydy talked to us it was

1676
01:00:42,280 --> 01:00:42,530
it was nice to hear and and you

1677
01:00:44,560 --> 01:00:44,810
can see the breakdown of of

1678
01:00:46,100 --> 01:00:46,350
where the people came from

1679
01:00:47,720 --> 01:00:47,970
Gallup might be over emphasized

1680
01:00:51,820 --> 01:00:52,070
um73% doesn't mean they're from

1681
01:00:53,280 --> 01:00:53,530
Gallup. We know Gallup has a new

1682
01:00:55,100 --> 01:00:55,350
meaning

1683
01:00:57,320 --> 01:00:57,570
people used to laugh when

1684
01:00:58,540 --> 01:00:58,790
they tell me they come from

1685
01:01:00,360 --> 01:01:00,610
Comato and I'm like ok which

1686
01:01:01,820 --> 01:01:02,070
direction

1687
01:01:03,080 --> 01:01:03,330
because there's not many people

1688
01:01:04,140 --> 01:01:04,390
in Comaro you know they live in

1689
01:01:06,420 --> 01:01:06,670
Apache Creek if they live east

1690
01:01:09,180 --> 01:01:09,430
ofummoto towards Dadl west north

1691
01:01:10,540 --> 01:01:10,790
they're from Comado even though

1692
01:01:11,960 --> 01:01:12,210
they're not inomado well that's

1693
01:01:13,900 --> 01:01:14,150
the same for gallup

1694
01:01:15,820 --> 01:01:16,070
September we we had a lot

1695
01:01:18,220 --> 01:01:18,470
refused to talk to us.

1696
01:01:20,380 --> 01:01:20,630
it's sad to see that that huge

1697
01:01:22,300 --> 01:01:22,550
left b block blue block just

1698
01:01:24,800 --> 01:01:25,050
refused to give us information

1699
01:01:26,720 --> 01:01:26,970
but we have people coming from

1700
01:01:27,840 --> 01:01:28,090
Texas

1701
01:01:30,560 --> 01:01:30,810
navajo Nation

1702
01:01:31,830 --> 01:01:32,080
Zunni, or

1703
01:01:34,720 --> 01:01:34,970
when I put arizona I don't put

1704
01:01:36,940 --> 01:01:37,190
the

1705
01:01:37,218 --> 01:01:37,468
chinnley

1706
01:01:40,880 --> 01:01:41,130
granato. I I count those as

1707
01:01:42,680 --> 01:01:42,930
Navonation. So this group from

1708
01:01:43,640 --> 01:01:43,890
that that 2% from arizona we're

1709
01:01:47,100 --> 01:01:47,350
talking Phoenix, Tucson, those

1710
01:01:49,900 --> 01:01:50,150
type of places and what we're

1711
01:01:51,780 --> 01:01:52,030
finding with a lot of those as

1712
01:01:53,000 --> 01:01:53,250
we talk to them they come to

1713
01:01:54,980 --> 01:01:55,230
gallup for treatment

1714
01:01:57,900 --> 01:01:58,150
or

1715
01:01:58,360 --> 01:01:58,610
they get on a bus

1716
01:02:01,280 --> 01:02:01,530
or they're kicked off a train

1717
01:02:03,780 --> 01:02:04,030
they can get intoxicated on the

1718
01:02:05,220 --> 01:02:05,470
train the next stop the train

1719
01:02:06,700 --> 01:02:06,950
stops

1720
01:02:07,680 --> 01:02:07,930
you're removed

1721
01:02:09,760 --> 01:02:10,010
they have a bus ticket and this

1722
01:02:11,700 --> 01:02:11,950
is as far as they get. we've

1723
01:02:13,820 --> 01:02:14,070
we've actually talked to some

1724
01:02:14,580 --> 01:02:14,830
people last year

1725
01:02:17,100 --> 01:02:17,350
several Africanericans it's like

1726
01:02:18,980 --> 01:02:19,230
hey what brought you to gallup?

1727
01:02:20,360 --> 01:02:20,610
It's like well we were going

1728
01:02:21,480 --> 01:02:21,730
west and this is as far as we

1729
01:02:22,900 --> 01:02:23,150
had money to get.

1730
01:02:24,480 --> 01:02:24,730
this was the bus stop that our

1731
01:02:25,880 --> 01:02:26,130
ticket ran out

1732
01:02:27,360 --> 01:02:27,610
here we are

1733
01:02:29,800 --> 01:02:30,050
that type of stuff we see

1734
01:02:31,460 --> 01:02:31,710
some that go to treatment

1735
01:02:33,340 --> 01:02:33,590
they either voluntarily say I'm

1736
01:02:35,900 --> 01:02:36,150
done with this because there's

1737
01:02:36,900 --> 01:02:37,150
no again no mandatory to

1738
01:02:38,620 --> 01:02:38,870
complete treatment they walk out

1739
01:02:40,320 --> 01:02:40,570
after 2 days,80 days whatever

1740
01:02:42,800 --> 01:02:43,050
they walk out

1741
01:02:44,860 --> 01:02:45,110
they don't have the money to get

1742
01:02:45,940 --> 01:02:46,190
back home

1743
01:02:47,980 --> 01:02:48,230
some of them actually graduate

1744
01:02:49,520 --> 01:02:49,770
from these programs

1745
01:02:52,820 --> 01:02:53,070
they don't have the money to go

1746
01:02:54,000 --> 01:02:54,250
back home

1747
01:02:55,420 --> 01:02:55,670
and unfortunately then we're

1748
01:02:56,460 --> 01:02:56,710
seeing

1749
01:02:57,300 --> 01:02:57,550
they graduate from these

1750
01:02:58,580 --> 01:02:58,830
programs

1751
01:02:59,940 --> 01:03:00,190
they don't have the housing they

1752
01:03:01,600 --> 01:03:01,850
don't have the workforce

1753
01:03:03,440 --> 01:03:03,690
they start the cycle all over

1754
01:03:04,940 --> 01:03:05,190
again we know if they end up

1755
01:03:07,100 --> 01:03:07,350
back in that real perco

1756
01:03:08,820 --> 01:03:09,070
within 30 days they're going to

1757
01:03:10,080 --> 01:03:10,330
be using again it's sad to say

1758
01:03:12,640 --> 01:03:12,890
the last giraffe is a much

1759
01:03:14,400 --> 01:03:14,650
better representation this is

1760
01:03:15,840 --> 01:03:16,090
well over1000 people.

1761
01:03:17,880 --> 01:03:18,130
these are the people done

1762
01:03:18,640 --> 01:03:18,890
intakes at NCI who come to NCI

1763
01:03:23,520 --> 01:03:23,770
and and when I say come tonCI we

1764
01:03:26,140 --> 01:03:26,390
do allow people come to NCI who

1765
01:03:28,240 --> 01:03:28,490
are clean

1766
01:03:30,480 --> 01:03:30,730
that need a place to stay for

1767
01:03:32,160 --> 01:03:32,410
the night, especially in the

1768
01:03:33,300 --> 01:03:33,550
cold months.

1769
01:03:34,740 --> 01:03:34,990
um, especially before we had the

1770
01:03:35,920 --> 01:03:36,170
warming shelter we allow them

1771
01:03:38,300 --> 01:03:38,550
to come if you're clean when you

1772
01:03:39,560 --> 01:03:39,810
come in and you're clean the

1773
01:03:40,660 --> 01:03:40,910
next morning

1774
01:03:41,620 --> 01:03:41,870
have a great day

1775
01:03:43,320 --> 01:03:43,570
you got a nice bed you got your

1776
01:03:44,960 --> 01:03:45,210
clothes washed showered, fed

1777
01:03:48,740 --> 01:03:48,990
and and you can go bo about your

1778
01:03:50,200 --> 01:03:50,450
life now if they are intoxicated

1779
01:03:52,540 --> 01:03:52,790
we do do72hoho tip

1780
01:03:58,620 --> 01:03:58,870
twelvehour and72 hour depending

1781
01:03:59,700 --> 01:03:59,950
on how many times they've been

1782
01:04:01,020 --> 01:04:01,270
to the facility in the last th30

1783
01:04:01,475 --> 01:04:01,725
days.

1784
01:04:03,860 --> 01:04:04,110
so so we have some that we hold

1785
01:04:06,120 --> 01:04:06,370
longer

1786
01:04:10,100 --> 01:04:10,350
this so this is much better data

1787
01:04:11,640 --> 01:04:11,890
and again Texas, Colorado

1788
01:04:14,120 --> 01:04:14,370
arizona

1789
01:04:15,000 --> 01:04:15,250
other portions of New Mexico

1790
01:04:17,500 --> 01:04:17,750
Navajo Nation Zunni

1791
01:04:21,520 --> 01:04:21,770
gallopingam merkel and then the

1792
01:04:21,800 --> 01:04:22,050
rema and when I sayRama it's

1793
01:04:23,640 --> 01:04:23,890
it's ramah pine hill area so you

1794
01:04:25,960 --> 01:04:26,210
know we're seeing a large number

1795
01:04:28,360 --> 01:04:28,610
and and this is where we're

1796
01:04:28,846 --> 01:04:29,096
we're asking you

1797
01:04:31,820 --> 01:04:32,070
we're we're funding NCI with

1798
01:04:34,520 --> 01:04:34,770
with the money that that we get

1799
01:04:35,880 --> 01:04:36,130
granted

1800
01:04:37,760 --> 01:04:38,010
we're we're looking for other

1801
01:04:38,940 --> 01:04:39,190
support this is a national

1802
01:04:40,780 --> 01:04:41,030
problem as you can see by the

1803
01:04:43,020 --> 01:04:43,270
other states

1804
01:04:45,620 --> 01:04:45,870
and it's anavajo nation problem

1805
01:04:46,680 --> 01:04:46,930
and it's a gallup problem so

1806
01:04:49,260 --> 01:04:49,510
working trying to work in

1807
01:04:50,400 --> 01:04:50,650
conjunction with all parties

1808
01:04:56,600 --> 01:04:56,850
so

1809
01:04:57,160 --> 01:04:57,410
it it it's just something I

1810
01:04:58,400 --> 01:04:58,650
wanted to to put on the table to

1811
01:04:59,780 --> 01:05:00,030
to see what we have and then

1812
01:05:02,540 --> 01:05:02,790
open that discussion

1813
01:05:04,360 --> 01:05:04,610
We do have gallup housing

1814
01:05:05,780 --> 01:05:06,030
authority who are doing the

1815
01:05:08,680 --> 01:05:08,930
the low income housing

1816
01:05:12,240 --> 01:05:12,490
great to see

1817
01:05:14,160 --> 01:05:14,410
they are maxed out

1818
01:05:16,100 --> 01:05:16,350
they have a long waiting list

1819
01:05:18,520 --> 01:05:18,770
they're now looking at working

1820
01:05:19,740 --> 01:05:19,990
towards the people who've timed

1821
01:05:22,460 --> 01:05:22,710
out within their program they've

1822
01:05:24,340 --> 01:05:24,590
been in the maximum number of

1823
01:05:25,860 --> 01:05:26,110
years months and and now they

1824
01:05:28,160 --> 01:05:28,410
have to move to the next level

1825
01:05:29,460 --> 01:05:29,710
housing workforce housing so

1826
01:05:30,720 --> 01:05:30,970
they're they're starting to look

1827
01:05:31,740 --> 01:05:31,990
at that and Gallllup is also

1828
01:05:33,580 --> 01:05:33,830
starting we have several

1829
01:05:35,700 --> 01:05:35,950
potential

1830
01:05:37,300 --> 01:05:37,550
residential sites where the city

1831
01:05:40,200 --> 01:05:40,450
of Gallup owns land

1832
01:05:42,830 --> 01:05:43,080
we would like to really start

1833
01:05:44,180 --> 01:05:44,430
turning that land into

1834
01:05:45,860 --> 01:05:46,110
the housing to start opening the

1835
01:05:50,980 --> 01:05:51,230
low rent housing

1836
01:05:52,770 --> 01:05:53,020
to some of these unhoused type

1837
01:05:54,700 --> 01:05:54,950
to to who qualify and start

1838
01:05:57,920 --> 01:05:58,170
taking those that are now aging

1839
01:05:59,540 --> 01:05:59,790
out

1840
01:05:59,980 --> 01:06:00,230
of the low income into the

1841
01:06:02,640 --> 01:06:02,890
workforce development,

1842
01:06:05,360 --> 01:06:05,610
tho those families as soon as

1843
01:06:07,240 --> 01:06:07,490
they age out where are they

1844
01:06:07,881 --> 01:06:08,131
going

1845
01:06:09,500 --> 01:06:09,750
Gallup doesn't have workforce

1846
01:06:11,100 --> 01:06:11,350
housing.

1847
01:06:12,760 --> 01:06:13,010
we have market rate housing

1848
01:06:15,300 --> 01:06:15,550
and the market rates in Gallup

1849
01:06:16,940 --> 01:06:17,190
are high.

1850
01:06:18,180 --> 01:06:18,430
so we'd like to build more of a

1851
01:06:20,200 --> 01:06:20,450
workforce smaller homes

1852
01:06:23,400 --> 01:06:23,650
we would love to do senior

1853
01:06:25,480 --> 01:06:25,730
we're building a new senior

1854
01:06:26,440 --> 01:06:26,690
center and we thank your

1855
01:06:27,920 --> 01:06:28,170
Department of Aging for

1856
01:06:28,960 --> 01:06:29,210
everything they've done for us.

1857
01:06:31,200 --> 01:06:31,450
It's it's fabulous. we're

1858
01:06:32,660 --> 01:06:32,910
looking at a grand opening in

1859
01:06:33,820 --> 01:06:34,070
November so we'll be sending

1860
01:06:34,920 --> 01:06:35,170
invites out

1861
01:06:36,600 --> 01:06:36,850
it's going to be a beautiful

1862
01:06:37,620 --> 01:06:37,870
center generator will

1863
01:06:41,060 --> 01:06:41,310
actually have an emergency

1864
01:06:42,740 --> 01:06:42,990
shelter for elderly therefore

1865
01:06:45,100 --> 01:06:45,350
when the power goes out

1866
01:06:47,180 --> 01:06:47,430
those type of things

1867
01:06:49,600 --> 01:06:49,850
we would love we own the land

1868
01:06:50,960 --> 01:06:51,210
across the street. we would love

1869
01:06:52,740 --> 01:06:52,990
to see senior housing because

1870
01:06:54,660 --> 01:06:54,910
we're seeing that's another need

1871
01:06:55,860 --> 01:06:56,110
also

1872
01:06:56,160 --> 01:06:56,410
so we were doing research we've

1873
01:07:00,080 --> 01:07:00,330
looked in Gunnison we've looked

1874
01:07:01,920 --> 01:07:02,170
at other places that have

1875
01:07:03,000 --> 01:07:03,250
presented to the International

1876
01:07:05,000 --> 01:07:05,250
cityity Manag's association who

1877
01:07:06,580 --> 01:07:06,830
are doing wonderful workforce

1878
01:07:08,300 --> 01:07:08,550
developing housing and how with

1879
01:07:11,620 --> 01:07:11,870
the startup money

1880
01:07:13,840 --> 01:07:14,090
they then can take over

1881
01:07:15,260 --> 01:07:15,510
with their revenue to escalate

1882
01:07:18,900 --> 01:07:19,150
it and continue it for for the

1883
01:07:21,140 --> 01:07:21,390
initial investment. So we're

1884
01:07:22,620 --> 01:07:22,870
doing that research and we will

1885
01:07:24,500 --> 01:07:24,750
be applying to all the available

1886
01:07:26,020 --> 01:07:26,270
programs both state and

1887
01:07:27,860 --> 01:07:28,110
federally to get us that seed

1888
01:07:30,020 --> 01:07:30,270
money to build the first complex

1889
01:07:32,140 --> 01:07:32,390
type thing and then move we're

1890
01:07:34,900 --> 01:07:35,150
also working with some

1891
01:07:35,840 --> 01:07:36,090
behavioral health agencies as I

1892
01:07:37,740 --> 01:07:37,990
said they you go for addiction

1893
01:07:40,620 --> 01:07:40,870
you come out clean in 90 days?

1894
01:07:43,400 --> 01:07:43,650
where do you go? Nobody has the

1895
01:07:46,280 --> 01:07:46,530
transitional housing where to go

1896
01:07:48,820 --> 01:07:49,070
so we are talking with some of

1897
01:07:50,720 --> 01:07:50,970
them we just met with our

1898
01:07:51,620 --> 01:07:51,870
Corners new staff. they have a

1899
01:07:53,200 --> 01:07:53,450
new CEO and we met with them a

1900
01:07:55,880 --> 01:07:56,130
couple weeks ago and and and I

1901
01:07:58,060 --> 01:07:58,310
pitched the idea wed pitched it

1902
01:07:59,340 --> 01:07:59,590
to him last year there was some

1903
01:08:00,480 --> 01:08:00,730
momentum excitement then they

1904
01:08:02,280 --> 01:08:02,530
changed people and it was quiet

1905
01:08:03,900 --> 01:08:04,150
during the last legislative

1906
01:08:05,020 --> 01:08:05,270
season. I didn't want to come

1907
01:08:06,380 --> 01:08:06,630
ask for anything not knowing if

1908
01:08:08,640 --> 01:08:08,890
it was wanted or not this year

1909
01:08:10,520 --> 01:08:10,770
it looks like it's gonna be

1910
01:08:11,340 --> 01:08:11,590
wanted they would love to build

1911
01:08:13,140 --> 01:08:13,390
a

1912
01:08:13,460 --> 01:08:13,710
transitional one year housing so

1913
01:08:15,140 --> 01:08:15,390
as they graduate from these

1914
01:08:16,620 --> 01:08:16,870
treatment centers they can move

1915
01:08:18,280 --> 01:08:18,530
into group housing

1916
01:08:19,840 --> 01:08:20,090
and in that group housing they

1917
01:08:21,060 --> 01:08:21,310
have the camaraderie they have

1918
01:08:22,740 --> 01:08:22,990
the counseling a place where the

1919
01:08:24,840 --> 01:08:25,090
PO can meet with them

1920
01:08:26,280 --> 01:08:26,530
they have the individual

1921
01:08:27,620 --> 01:08:27,870
counseling but more importantly

1922
01:08:29,600 --> 01:08:29,850
we can offer them a set location

1923
01:08:32,160 --> 01:08:32,410
for the public transportation,

1924
01:08:35,160 --> 01:08:35,410
working with other agencies to

1925
01:08:36,740 --> 01:08:36,990
get them into workforce

1926
01:08:37,460 --> 01:08:37,710
development. give them that one

1927
01:08:39,600 --> 01:08:39,850
year of clean life, building

1928
01:08:41,400 --> 01:08:41,650
skills to where they graduate

1929
01:08:43,460 --> 01:08:43,710
that next year

1930
01:08:45,760 --> 01:08:46,010
hopefully they've got a small

1931
01:08:46,840 --> 01:08:47,090
next stake to go where they want

1932
01:08:48,540 --> 01:08:48,790
whether it's back home whether

1933
01:08:50,200 --> 01:08:50,450
it's here and then to live clean

1934
01:08:53,220 --> 01:08:53,470
in in the next transition

1935
01:08:56,020 --> 01:08:56,270
without having to go back on the

1936
01:08:57,800 --> 01:08:58,050
street

1937
01:08:59,420 --> 01:08:59,670
and and and start the cycle over

1938
01:09:02,000 --> 01:09:02,250
so those are some of the things

1939
01:09:03,280 --> 01:09:03,530
that we're looking at doing

1940
01:09:04,900 --> 01:09:05,150
we're we're excited about and

1941
01:09:06,760 --> 01:09:07,010
we're starting to get other

1942
01:09:07,800 --> 01:09:08,050
agencies to look with us and I

1943
01:09:09,880 --> 01:09:10,130
think that's important. City

1944
01:09:11,860 --> 01:09:12,110
can't do it by herself. The

1945
01:09:13,720 --> 01:09:13,970
outside agencies can't do it by

1946
01:09:15,700 --> 01:09:15,950
theirsel but with good

1947
01:09:16,180 --> 01:09:16,430
partnerships I think we're going

1948
01:09:17,480 --> 01:09:17,730
to get there

1949
01:09:17,900 --> 01:09:18,150
so we would all love to stand

1950
01:09:20,640 --> 01:09:20,890
for questions

1951
01:09:22,100 --> 01:09:22,350
thank you memberspresentative

1952
01:09:22,904 --> 01:09:23,154
Luundstone

1953
01:09:26,200 --> 01:09:26,450
thank you madam chair and I'd

1954
01:09:27,300 --> 01:09:27,550
like to thank the panel this

1955
01:09:29,220 --> 01:09:29,470
morning for being here. A

1956
01:09:30,620 --> 01:09:30,870
coupleup of questions that I did

1957
01:09:31,640 --> 01:09:31,890
have in august we had a joint

1958
01:09:34,240 --> 01:09:34,490
committee hearing federal funds

1959
01:09:35,800 --> 01:09:36,050
stabilization with the health

1960
01:09:37,260 --> 01:09:37,510
committee

1961
01:09:38,460 --> 01:09:38,710
that was over at the county

1962
01:09:40,580 --> 01:09:40,830
and it's interesting to listen

1963
01:09:42,040 --> 01:09:42,290
about how we need other

1964
01:09:43,960 --> 01:09:44,210
support regre regarding some of

1965
01:09:46,420 --> 01:09:46,670
these services for the homeless

1966
01:09:47,840 --> 01:09:48,090
and behavioral health services

1967
01:09:50,720 --> 01:09:50,970
one of the issues that was

1968
01:09:51,840 --> 01:09:52,090
brought up and actually being

1969
01:09:53,920 --> 01:09:54,170
initiated by some of the members

1970
01:09:55,380 --> 01:09:55,630
of this committee is asking for

1971
01:09:57,620 --> 01:09:57,870
an increase in alcohol tax.

1972
01:10:00,370 --> 01:10:00,620
and I'm asking you guys don't

1973
01:10:03,090 --> 01:10:03,340
have to tell me now what you

1974
01:10:04,470 --> 01:10:04,720
think about it but obviously

1975
01:10:06,150 --> 01:10:06,400
I'll want to know before the

1976
01:10:07,110 --> 01:10:07,360
session starts where does the

1977
01:10:08,690 --> 01:10:08,940
city stand on increase for

1978
01:10:11,450 --> 01:10:11,700
alcohol tax to try to get some

1979
01:10:13,910 --> 01:10:14,160
of these things dealt with as

1980
01:10:16,370 --> 01:10:16,620
I've mentioned in that committee

1981
01:10:17,770 --> 01:10:18,020
hearing, McKinley County already

1982
01:10:20,230 --> 01:10:20,480
has a liquor excise tax at5%.

1983
01:10:22,950 --> 01:10:23,200
what this bill is calling for as

1984
01:10:26,690 --> 01:10:26,940
an additional5% on top of that

1985
01:10:27,950 --> 01:10:28,200
and

1986
01:10:28,870 --> 01:10:29,120
the important thing to remember

1987
01:10:30,750 --> 01:10:31,000
though is that it is

1988
01:10:32,230 --> 01:10:32,480
considerable increase in money

1989
01:10:34,990 --> 01:10:35,240
coming back to Mcinley County.

1990
01:10:36,710 --> 01:10:36,960
You get about a million dollars

1991
01:10:38,770 --> 01:10:39,020
in liquor excise tax now but if

1992
01:10:41,690 --> 01:10:41,940
this additional tax was included

1993
01:10:45,290 --> 01:10:45,540
what I saw on that chart was

1994
01:10:46,470 --> 01:10:46,720
about 2 million that comes back

1995
01:10:47,990 --> 01:10:48,240
to the county for services.

1996
01:10:49,870 --> 01:10:50,120
obviouslybviously the city too

1997
01:10:51,570 --> 01:10:51,820
but I need to know where you

1998
01:10:53,110 --> 01:10:53,360
stand. I haven't voted for that

1999
01:10:54,850 --> 01:10:55,100
bill and I serve on the tax

2000
01:10:56,230 --> 01:10:56,480
committee. I haven't voted for

2001
01:10:57,890 --> 01:10:58,140
it the last two times, but I

2002
01:10:59,330 --> 01:10:59,580
need to know where we are on

2003
01:11:00,570 --> 01:11:00,820
this I know we're going to

2004
01:11:02,510 --> 01:11:02,760
have a separate meeting with the

2005
01:11:04,030 --> 01:11:04,280
chamber. they're going to have a

2006
01:11:05,610 --> 01:11:05,860
separate legislative meeting

2007
01:11:06,910 --> 01:11:07,160
with all of its local

2008
01:11:07,950 --> 01:11:08,200
legislators. I don't know if

2009
01:11:09,670 --> 01:11:09,920
this will be an issue or not but

2010
01:11:11,750 --> 01:11:12,000
I think it's important for the

2011
01:11:12,930 --> 01:11:13,180
members of this committee as you

2012
01:11:14,390 --> 01:11:14,640
see who who's here

2013
01:11:16,730 --> 01:11:16,980
where do you guys stand on

2014
01:11:18,130 --> 01:11:18,380
this? We don't we don't have to

2015
01:11:19,850 --> 01:11:20,100
answer it today but we will need

2016
01:11:22,030 --> 01:11:22,280
to know before the beginning of

2017
01:11:23,270 --> 01:11:23,520
the session

2018
01:11:25,130 --> 01:11:25,380
the other question I had is

2019
01:11:27,390 --> 01:11:27,640
regarding the Navajo Gallup

2020
01:11:28,990 --> 01:11:29,240
water supply project as the

2021
01:11:30,830 --> 01:11:31,080
mayor knows, I have a long long

2022
01:11:32,390 --> 01:11:32,640
history with that project and

2023
01:11:35,030 --> 01:11:35,280
I'd like to ask

2024
01:11:37,770 --> 01:11:38,020
is the proportional cost

2025
01:11:41,170 --> 01:11:41,420
allocated to the s so the the

2026
01:11:43,610 --> 01:11:43,860
cost of the pipeline. it's one

2027
01:11:45,990 --> 01:11:46,240
project with two major pipelines

2028
01:11:48,430 --> 01:11:48,680
so I'm curious is the hickoria

2029
01:11:51,350 --> 01:11:51,600
site open now? iss it up and

2030
01:11:51,730 --> 01:11:51,980
running?

2031
01:11:55,070 --> 01:11:55,320
ma'am OK. so hickory is up and

2032
01:11:56,470 --> 01:11:56,720
running because the state of New

2033
01:11:58,270 --> 01:11:58,520
Mexico has put considerable

2034
01:11:59,950 --> 01:12:00,200
money in this project as match

2035
01:12:03,130 --> 01:12:03,380
you know we have the Indian

2036
01:12:04,310 --> 01:12:04,560
water rights piece in the in the

2037
01:12:06,350 --> 01:12:06,600
budget and we've put a lot of

2038
01:12:08,510 --> 01:12:08,760
money through the New Mexico

2039
01:12:09,610 --> 01:12:09,860
finance Authority through the

2040
01:12:11,490 --> 01:12:11,740
waterterrust board through

2041
01:12:12,470 --> 01:12:12,720
Capital outlay

2042
01:12:13,390 --> 01:12:13,640
to try to offset the match

2043
01:12:15,710 --> 01:12:15,960
that's required by the feds I

2044
01:12:17,290 --> 01:12:17,540
know the city's match is75

2045
01:12:18,870 --> 01:12:19,120
million but we have also tried

2046
01:12:22,110 --> 01:12:22,360
to help with with state funds my

2047
01:12:25,350 --> 01:12:25,600
my question is then have we

2048
01:12:27,890 --> 01:12:28,140
resolved all the match

2049
01:12:29,950 --> 01:12:30,200
requirement for

2050
01:12:35,125 --> 01:12:35,375
madam chair andpresentative

2051
01:12:37,080 --> 01:12:37,330
Lumstrom so the way that the

2052
01:12:38,640 --> 01:12:38,890
project works is that there was

2053
01:12:41,040 --> 01:12:41,290
a repayment contract required

2054
01:12:43,400 --> 01:12:43,650
for hickoryia and for the city

2055
01:12:45,400 --> 01:12:45,650
of Gallup but the biggest part

2056
01:12:47,260 --> 01:12:47,510
of the whole project was the

2057
01:12:48,460 --> 01:12:48,710
settlement amount of50 million

2058
01:12:50,320 --> 01:12:50,570
dollars that the city that the

2059
01:12:52,000 --> 01:12:52,250
state of New Mexico was to pay

2060
01:12:54,220 --> 01:12:54,470
so all of the initial monies

2061
01:12:56,160 --> 01:12:56,410
from the waterrust board there

2062
01:12:57,800 --> 01:12:58,050
was actually some cash and some

2063
01:12:59,160 --> 01:12:59,410
other grant monies that went

2064
01:13:00,140 --> 01:13:00,390
into the project be it for

2065
01:13:01,700 --> 01:13:01,950
actual capitalX projects or cash

2066
01:13:04,440 --> 01:13:04,690
went to the state of New

2067
01:13:06,200 --> 01:13:06,450
Mexico's portion and that was

2068
01:13:08,460 --> 01:13:08,710
that was satisfied in about

2069
01:13:11,010 --> 01:13:11,260
2017. Since then the rest of the

2070
01:13:13,900 --> 01:13:14,150
monies have been applied either

2071
01:13:15,180 --> 01:13:15,430
to hickoria for their their cost

2072
01:13:17,160 --> 01:13:17,410
what they call their obligation

2073
01:13:18,740 --> 01:13:18,990
or or the city of gallups

2074
01:13:21,640 --> 01:13:21,890
from what from what I understand

2075
01:13:23,200 --> 01:13:23,450
everything on part of the

2076
01:13:25,040 --> 01:13:25,290
hickorya has been satisfied and

2077
01:13:26,340 --> 01:13:26,590
they are in some type of

2078
01:13:27,320 --> 01:13:27,570
repayment contract to make

2079
01:13:29,640 --> 01:13:29,890
sure they repay and thanks to

2080
01:13:32,400 --> 01:13:32,650
all of our congressmen and the

2081
01:13:35,520 --> 01:13:35,770
administ the current

2082
01:13:35,760 --> 01:13:36,010
administration we have a76

2083
01:13:38,300 --> 01:13:38,550
million dollars cost cap because

2084
01:13:40,180 --> 01:13:40,430
of the delay the project went

2085
01:13:42,220 --> 01:13:42,470
from about what we thought would

2086
01:13:45,080 --> 01:13:45,330
be about1.1 billion it's almost

2087
01:13:46,160 --> 01:13:46,410
over 2.3 and of course the

2088
01:13:48,400 --> 01:13:48,650
city's port

2089
01:13:49,680 --> 01:13:49,930
ion of that is is an average of

2090
01:13:51,020 --> 01:13:51,270
about 8%. and so that's a lot

2091
01:13:55,720 --> 01:13:55,970
of money for a town for a small

2092
01:13:57,660 --> 01:13:57,910
town topa so we do have our cost

2093
01:14:00,040 --> 01:14:00,290
gap and we have an any since the

2094
01:14:02,520 --> 01:14:02,770
state's obligation has been met

2095
01:14:04,080 --> 01:14:04,330
any monies that go into the

2096
01:14:05,560 --> 01:14:05,810
Navajo Gallup project. so far we

2097
01:14:07,860 --> 01:14:08,110
have another 8 million coming

2098
01:14:09,200 --> 01:14:09,450
from waterrust board and we

2099
01:14:10,900 --> 01:14:11,150
anticipate another 8 or10

2100
01:14:12,280 --> 01:14:12,530
million for the pumping plant

2101
01:14:14,440 --> 01:14:14,690
each will will be the final

2102
01:14:14,840 --> 01:14:15,090
component of the city system we

2103
01:14:17,060 --> 01:14:17,310
should get full credit for those

2104
01:14:18,520 --> 01:14:18,770
and that'll go

2105
01:14:19,080 --> 01:14:19,330
toward our76 million dollars

2106
01:14:20,660 --> 01:14:20,910
match which should

2107
01:14:23,980 --> 01:14:24,230
finalize all the city's money

2108
01:14:25,400 --> 01:14:25,650
now we do have a loan

2109
01:14:27,140 --> 01:14:27,390
obligations we did get through

2110
01:14:30,600 --> 01:14:30,850
the waterrust board 6040 loans

2111
01:14:31,040 --> 01:14:31,290
so we have about18 million

2112
01:14:33,080 --> 01:14:33,330
dollars in loans we are repaying

2113
01:14:35,040 --> 01:14:35,290
at a much lower percentage rate

2114
01:14:37,200 --> 01:14:37,450
than the federal government the

2115
01:14:38,480 --> 01:14:38,730
federal government's about4% the

2116
01:14:40,440 --> 01:14:40,690
state of New Mexico is about 25%

2117
01:14:42,500 --> 01:14:42,750
so it is a no brainer what we

2118
01:14:44,440 --> 01:14:44,690
did on those so the only the

2119
01:14:46,700 --> 01:14:46,950
only last piece of the puzzle

2120
01:14:48,700 --> 01:14:48,950
is what they call interest

2121
01:14:50,460 --> 01:14:50,710
during construction and that is

2122
01:14:52,500 --> 01:14:52,750
a what this federal government

2123
01:14:55,460 --> 01:14:55,710
charges all the participants

2124
01:14:57,060 --> 01:14:57,310
during the construction portion

2125
01:14:59,280 --> 01:14:59,530
of the project it's not interest

2126
01:15:01,020 --> 01:15:01,270
on loan it's it's interest

2127
01:15:02,420 --> 01:15:02,670
during construction so that

2128
01:15:03,740 --> 01:15:03,990
component is the last thing that

2129
01:15:05,160 --> 01:15:05,410
we are negotiating. We don't

2130
01:15:06,940 --> 01:15:07,190
know if the76 million dollars

2131
01:15:08,520 --> 01:15:08,770
includes the interest during

2132
01:15:10,280 --> 01:15:10,530
construction I'm looking at

2133
01:15:11,540 --> 01:15:11,790
Frank because he's the onen

2134
01:15:12,580 --> 01:15:12,830
working on it or if it's gonna

2135
01:15:14,240 --> 01:15:14,490
or if that's gonna be in charge

2136
01:15:15,620 --> 01:15:15,870
to addition so that's the last

2137
01:15:17,040 --> 01:15:17,290
component that we're worried

2138
01:15:17,920 --> 01:15:18,170
about

2139
01:15:18,565 --> 01:15:18,815
p re s ent ative Lunstrom

2140
01:15:20,240 --> 01:15:20,490
so madam Chair, does that

2141
01:15:22,300 --> 01:15:22,550
mean at least the city's

2142
01:15:25,420 --> 01:15:25,670
responsibility of 676 million is

2143
01:15:29,120 --> 01:15:29,370
resolved it's resolved except

2144
01:15:31,400 --> 01:15:31,650
for the the interest or in

2145
01:15:32,800 --> 01:15:33,050
construction and that interest

2146
01:15:34,000 --> 01:15:34,250
would be at at a4% on the

2147
01:15:36,420 --> 01:15:36,670
remaining components of

2148
01:15:37,640 --> 01:15:37,890
construction which is about

2149
01:15:40,220 --> 01:15:40,470
about $6600 million so that

2150
01:15:45,360 --> 01:15:45,610
has not been resolved yet. We

2151
01:15:47,100 --> 01:15:47,350
still need to with our repayment

2152
01:15:49,320 --> 01:15:49,570
contract our revised re

2153
01:15:50,740 --> 01:15:50,990
pa y ment contract come up with

2154
01:15:51,800 --> 01:15:52,050
a plan and a formula of how we

2155
01:15:54,100 --> 01:15:54,350
will be addressing the interest

2156
01:15:55,340 --> 01:15:55,590
during construction

2157
01:15:56,860 --> 01:15:57,110
and that an interest in

2158
01:15:58,340 --> 01:15:58,590
construction is an elaborate

2159
01:16:00,220 --> 01:16:00,470
thing that the federal

2160
01:16:01,280 --> 01:16:01,530
government came up with 100

2161
01:16:02,560 --> 01:16:02,810
years ago with the bureau of

2162
01:16:03,660 --> 01:16:03,910
reclamation since they built the

2163
01:16:04,539 --> 01:16:04,789
Hooveramm

2164
01:16:08,940 --> 01:16:09,190
p re s ent ed Lonestrom if if I

2165
01:16:09,560 --> 01:16:09,810
can add

2166
01:16:11,340 --> 01:16:11,590
luckily we've minimized gallup's

2167
01:16:13,940 --> 01:16:14,190
interest during

2168
01:16:18,090 --> 01:16:18,340
we've

2169
01:16:19,290 --> 01:16:19,540
we've

2170
01:16:20,970 --> 01:16:21,220
prepaid

2171
01:16:22,110 --> 01:16:22,360
most of ours so as as we get the

2172
01:16:25,610 --> 01:16:25,860
waterru board as as we're

2173
01:16:26,810 --> 01:16:27,060
building we're making those

2174
01:16:28,430 --> 01:16:28,680
payments so they can't try to

2175
01:16:30,570 --> 01:16:30,820
charge us interest when we're

2176
01:16:32,590 --> 01:16:32,840
paying

2177
01:16:33,330 --> 01:16:33,580
going through so we've

2178
01:16:35,590 --> 01:16:35,840
minimized ours our component.

2179
01:16:38,310 --> 01:16:38,560
So really126 million of that 2.1

2180
01:16:41,630 --> 01:16:41,880
billion is going to be coming

2181
01:16:43,450 --> 01:16:43,700
from either gallup or the state

2182
01:16:45,410 --> 01:16:45,660
of New Mexico so I think when

2183
01:16:47,350 --> 01:16:47,600
you look at the cost

2184
01:16:48,210 --> 01:16:48,460
proportionate of the number of

2185
01:16:50,150 --> 01:16:50,400
lines and such I think we're

2186
01:16:52,270 --> 01:16:52,520
coming out pretty fair yeah

2187
01:16:54,106 --> 01:16:54,356
we're coming up very fair.

2188
01:16:56,730 --> 01:16:56,980
I I will speak for our

2189
01:16:58,290 --> 01:16:58,540
surrounding area though we we

2190
01:17:00,050 --> 01:17:00,300
really need to stay on the

2191
01:17:02,230 --> 01:17:02,480
bureau of reclamation

2192
01:17:02,970 --> 01:17:03,220
to ensure that the other

2193
01:17:05,590 --> 01:17:05,840
portions you know we're always

2194
01:17:07,330 --> 01:17:07,580
worried about gallup

2195
01:17:08,950 --> 01:17:09,200
we needed to build pumping

2196
01:17:11,110 --> 01:17:11,360
plant eight and we still need to

2197
01:17:12,710 --> 01:17:12,960
build reach 2712 which goes

2198
01:17:15,010 --> 01:17:15,260
through Caulpa hills and comes

2199
01:17:16,370 --> 01:17:16,620
out by Redhill's mobilele

2200
01:17:18,810 --> 01:17:19,060
Homeark that's the last

2201
01:17:19,470 --> 01:17:19,720
components of gallup

2202
01:17:21,130 --> 01:17:21,380
but but we still have going

2203
01:17:22,550 --> 01:17:22,800
south we we've still got the

2204
01:17:25,170 --> 01:17:25,420
RedRock chapter we've still got

2205
01:17:27,410 --> 01:17:27,660
chielta resprings we have to

2206
01:17:28,310 --> 01:17:28,560
think of our family members who

2207
01:17:30,390 --> 01:17:30,640
live in the county who

2208
01:17:33,050 --> 01:17:33,300
who are still as I said they're

2209
01:17:35,070 --> 01:17:35,320
still gallup even though they

2210
01:17:36,490 --> 01:17:36,740
don't live in the city limits we

2211
01:17:38,130 --> 01:17:38,380
still consider him gallup. So,

2212
01:17:39,970 --> 01:17:40,220
so we need to make sure that

2213
01:17:41,250 --> 01:17:41,500
those are continuing and then of

2214
01:17:43,630 --> 01:17:43,880
course we need to keep ensuring

2215
01:17:44,990 --> 01:17:45,240
that IHs is going to be doing

2216
01:17:46,390 --> 01:17:46,640
their component.'s great to have

2217
01:17:48,130 --> 01:17:48,380
a water line but if it's not

2218
01:17:49,910 --> 01:17:50,160
connected to a house that water

2219
01:17:51,910 --> 01:17:52,160
line doesn't do any good

2220
01:17:54,010 --> 01:17:54,260
so we're we're we're still

2221
01:17:55,810 --> 01:17:56,060
stressing those we're still

2222
01:17:58,090 --> 01:17:58,340
negotiating for we're we're

2223
01:18:00,910 --> 01:18:01,160
going through with continuing

2224
01:18:02,190 --> 01:18:02,440
resolutions every year

2225
01:18:04,770 --> 01:18:05,020
they they still need to pony

2226
01:18:06,270 --> 01:18:06,520
up the federal government needs

2227
01:18:07,470 --> 01:18:07,720
to pony up that final

2228
01:18:09,470 --> 01:18:09,720
to get the full project paid for

2229
01:18:11,710 --> 01:18:11,960
it's not100% paid for at this

2230
01:18:13,750 --> 01:18:14,000
date.

2231
01:18:15,050 --> 01:18:15,300
they've got enough to satisfy

2232
01:18:16,490 --> 01:18:16,740
the contracts that have been

2233
01:18:17,610 --> 01:18:17,860
given this year

2234
01:18:19,290 --> 01:18:19,540
but not those future

2235
01:18:20,750 --> 01:18:21,000
as the southern component's

2236
01:18:23,050 --> 01:18:23,300
going to our brothers and

2237
01:18:24,690 --> 01:18:24,940
sisters south of Gallllup and

2238
01:18:26,210 --> 01:18:26,460
those those components

2239
01:18:28,330 --> 01:18:28,580
the money hasn't come up with

2240
01:18:29,730 --> 01:18:29,980
yet

2241
01:18:30,410 --> 01:18:30,660
so yes we can get water to

2242
01:18:32,010 --> 01:18:32,260
gallup

2243
01:18:32,990 --> 01:18:33,240
but can we get water to all

2244
01:18:34,950 --> 01:18:35,200
those again this is a a rights

2245
01:18:38,070 --> 01:18:38,320
water rights settlement

2246
01:18:41,550 --> 01:18:41,800
gallup's very fortunate to be

2247
01:18:42,330 --> 01:18:42,580
part of it but let's let's

2248
01:18:44,770 --> 01:18:45,020
make sure it does what it's

2249
01:18:45,930 --> 01:18:46,180
intended and and sometimes with

2250
01:18:47,630 --> 01:18:47,880
the federal government we don't

2251
01:18:48,630 --> 01:18:48,880
see that follow through so we

2252
01:18:50,510 --> 01:18:50,760
want to continue lobbying and I

2253
01:18:52,330 --> 01:18:52,580
would really love to think

2254
01:18:53,861 --> 01:18:54,111
Representative Johnson

2255
01:18:55,627 --> 01:18:55,877
andrerepresentative Luundstrom

2256
01:18:57,570 --> 01:18:57,820
for earlier this year going to

2257
01:18:59,950 --> 01:19:00,200
Dc and and helping us open doors

2258
01:19:02,810 --> 01:19:03,060
to talk to the other legislature

2259
01:19:06,570 --> 01:19:06,820
our federal legislators that

2260
01:19:08,630 --> 01:19:08,880
we need to Luhan

2261
01:19:10,470 --> 01:19:10,720
and and and heinrich being very

2262
01:19:15,150 --> 01:19:15,400
instrumental in carrying the

2263
01:19:17,310 --> 01:19:17,560
bills and pushing hard to ensure

2264
01:19:19,890 --> 01:19:20,140
we got the cost cap

2265
01:19:21,630 --> 01:19:21,880
plus

2266
01:19:22,870 --> 01:19:23,120
other allocations to get that

2267
01:19:25,230 --> 01:19:25,480
pumping plant bid out and

2268
01:19:26,630 --> 01:19:26,880
started on construction

2269
01:19:27,650 --> 01:19:27,900
so very big thank you to both of

2270
01:19:30,570 --> 01:19:30,820
you for

2271
01:19:31,770 --> 01:19:32,020
helping take some additional

2272
01:19:34,250 --> 01:19:34,500
muscle up there

2273
01:19:36,410 --> 01:19:36,660
they were our bodyguards on the

2274
01:19:37,890 --> 01:19:38,140
street too

2275
01:19:39,430 --> 01:19:39,680
madam Chair the reason I raised

2276
01:19:41,210 --> 01:19:41,460
this is because if the project

2277
01:19:43,390 --> 01:19:43,640
can't demonstrate beneficial use

2278
01:19:45,490 --> 01:19:45,740
by actual people using it using

2279
01:19:47,930 --> 01:19:48,180
the water we have problems in

2280
01:19:50,050 --> 01:19:50,300
river City and what I mean is

2281
01:19:52,110 --> 01:19:52,360
these chapters have to be part

2282
01:19:53,910 --> 01:19:54,160
of this they are the reason

2283
01:19:55,790 --> 01:19:56,040
we're getting this. it's an

2284
01:19:57,610 --> 01:19:57,860
Indian water rights settlement

2285
01:19:58,910 --> 01:19:59,160
without the chapters we ain't

2286
01:20:00,400 --> 01:20:00,650
got a project. So I I think we

2287
01:20:03,640 --> 01:20:03,890
got a whatever those hiccups

2288
01:20:06,300 --> 01:20:06,550
are this is the right committee

2289
01:20:07,920 --> 01:20:08,170
to hear that and I'd like to

2290
01:20:10,880 --> 01:20:11,130
get something in writing from

2291
01:20:12,200 --> 01:20:12,450
you Frank all of us would just

2292
01:20:14,820 --> 01:20:15,070
so we know what we need to be

2293
01:20:16,240 --> 01:20:16,490
talking about

2294
01:20:19,440 --> 01:20:19,690
because we're we don't mind

2295
01:20:20,400 --> 01:20:20,650
going back we don't mind

2296
01:20:21,680 --> 01:20:21,930
fighting for this and

2297
01:20:22,980 --> 01:20:23,230
working with the Navajo Nation

2298
01:20:24,780 --> 01:20:25,030
and whoever but we got to know

2299
01:20:26,560 --> 01:20:26,810
what we're fighting for and I

2300
01:20:28,080 --> 01:20:28,330
think we have to demonstrate

2301
01:20:29,020 --> 01:20:29,270
beneficial use and that means

2302
01:20:30,760 --> 01:20:31,010
that these chapters need to be

2303
01:20:32,020 --> 01:20:32,270
hooked up. Thank you madam

2304
01:20:33,400 --> 01:20:33,650

that also even even offering

2335
01:21:38,360 --> 01:21:38,610
to take

2336
01:21:38,920 --> 01:21:39,170

will say right now until this

2340
01:21:46,640 --> 01:21:46,890
project is finished we're we're

2341
01:21:49,040 --> 01:21:49,290
holding off doing full support

2342
01:21:51,340 --> 01:21:51,590
for the western Navajo

2343
01:21:54,460 --> 01:21:54,710
settlement it's a different

2344
01:21:56,580 --> 01:21:56,830
river basin it and in arizona

2345
01:22:00,460 --> 01:22:00,710
as you look at the western part

2346
01:22:01,880 --> 01:22:02,130
of the arizona they're they're

2347
01:22:04,180 --> 01:22:04,430
wanting water out of the

2348
01:22:05,020 --> 01:22:05,270
Colorado and and of course

2349
01:22:06,920 --> 01:22:07,170
that's the lower basin a lot

2350
01:22:08,980 --> 01:22:09,230
more political you're now

2351
01:22:10,080 --> 01:22:10,330
dealing with Nevada

2352
01:22:11,980 --> 01:22:12,230
Montana

2353
01:22:13,800 --> 01:22:14,050
Utah, Nevada arizona, or and and

2354
01:22:18,060 --> 01:22:18,310
it's getting a lot more

2355
01:22:19,860 --> 01:22:20,110
political where the upper basin

2356
01:22:22,240 --> 01:22:22,490
we've already got our

2357
01:22:22,900 --> 01:22:23,150
settlement. let's get it built

2358
01:22:24,660 --> 01:22:24,910
and closed and then throw our

2359
01:22:27,220 --> 01:22:27,470
support to to our brothers and

2360
01:22:28,780 --> 01:22:29,030
sisters in in arizona. until

2361
01:22:31,580 --> 01:22:31,830
then though againuppton that

2362
01:22:34,620 --> 01:22:34,870
area we're throwing our support

2363
01:22:35,900 --> 01:22:36,150
because it it's it's different

2364
01:22:38,020 --> 01:22:38,270
they're in our watershed

2365
01:22:39,380 --> 01:22:39,630
right now and and and we can

2366
01:22:41,900 --> 01:22:42,150
prove that Gallup

2367
01:22:43,660 --> 01:22:43,910
where our real perco goes it's

2368
01:22:45,980 --> 01:22:46,230
going through their communities

2369
01:22:47,300 --> 01:22:47,550
let's give them water so the one

2370
01:22:48,840 --> 01:22:49,090
I'm really advocating for right

2371
01:22:50,120 --> 01:22:50,370
now is we've got the north we've

2372
01:22:51,540 --> 01:22:51,790
got the east west is just

2373
01:22:53,380 --> 01:22:53,630
proposed at this date

2374
01:22:54,640 --> 01:22:54,890
but South is on paper

2375
01:22:56,560 --> 01:22:56,810
but we haven't seen any

2376
01:22:58,400 --> 01:22:58,650
construction

2377
01:22:59,580 --> 01:22:59,830
those are the ones that we're

2378
01:23:00,780 --> 01:23:01,030
needing to stand up for

2379
01:23:02,200 --> 01:23:02,450
and and that goes to the zuni

2380
01:23:04,280 --> 01:23:04,530
watershed so you're looking at

2381
01:23:06,440 --> 01:23:06,690
the chapters of ed rock read

2382
01:23:08,420 --> 01:23:08,670
springs and Chichota.

2383
01:23:11,100 --> 01:23:11,350
those three chapters we want to

2384
01:23:13,020 --> 01:23:13,270
ensure that water is getting

2385
01:23:14,100 --> 01:23:14,350
down there and I will say they

2386
01:23:15,660 --> 01:23:15,910
will be ahead of the game as

2387
01:23:16,740 --> 01:23:16,990
soon as this gets there because

2388
01:23:18,420 --> 01:23:18,670
NTUA has a lot of those feeder

2389
01:23:20,200 --> 01:23:20,450
routes already going.

2390
01:23:22,520 --> 01:23:22,770
so as soon as we can supply

2391
01:23:24,280 --> 01:23:24,530
additional water, those other

2392
01:23:26,060 --> 01:23:26,310
homes can be added quicker

2393
01:23:30,350 --> 01:23:30,600

01:23:43,970 --> 01:23:44,220
thing is is that I wanted to ask

2403
01:23:44,720 --> 01:23:44,970
Elo

2404
01:23:50,910 --> 01:23:51,160
want to make sure these chapters

2405
01:23:52,050 --> 01:23:52,300
are knowledgeable about what's

2406
01:23:53,430 --> 01:23:53,680
going on. I mean we got to be in

2407
01:23:55,570 --> 01:23:55,820
the game here

2408
01:23:56,830 --> 01:23:57,080
thank you madam chair

2409
01:23:57,570 --> 01:23:57,820
thank you madam chairir one nice

2410
01:23:59,760 --> 01:24:00,010
to answer Representative

2411
01:24:01,430 --> 01:24:01,680
Lunstrom's first question

2412
01:24:02,530 --> 01:24:02,780
yes I'm I'm not gonna say no

2413
01:24:05,090 --> 01:24:05,340
because debo hit me

2414
01:24:07,170 --> 01:24:07,420
we have always actively pursued

2415
01:24:09,790 --> 01:24:10,040
that extra tax again we are

2416
01:24:13,250 --> 01:24:13,500
moving from seeing liquor

2417
01:24:15,530 --> 01:24:15,780
addiction it's still a major

2418
01:24:17,030 --> 01:24:17,280
issue we're starting to see more

2419
01:24:19,890 --> 01:24:20,140
fentanyl meth, those type of

2420
01:24:22,250 --> 01:24:22,500
addictions but we still have the

2421
01:24:23,870 --> 01:24:24,120
alcohol and that alcohol tax

2422
01:24:26,270 --> 01:24:26,520
does fund the other programs

2423
01:24:28,550 --> 01:24:28,800
that are helping with the other

2424
01:24:30,630 --> 01:24:30,880
addictions we see addiction

2425
01:24:32,230 --> 01:24:32,480
as an addiction whether it's

2426
01:24:33,850 --> 01:24:34,100
alcohol it it is a drug so that

2427
01:24:36,210 --> 01:24:36,460
that extra million dollars

2428
01:24:38,650 --> 01:24:38,900
that's coming in we can go

2429
01:24:40,390 --> 01:24:40,640
beyond NCI the housing the

2430
01:24:42,910 --> 01:24:43,160
intake the offers we can go more

2431
01:24:46,430 --> 01:24:46,680
into treatment and and those

2432
01:24:48,470 --> 01:24:48,720
type of things the the

2433
01:24:49,810 --> 01:24:50,060
the year of transition type

2434
01:24:55,050 --> 01:24:55,300
stuff that I was discussing we

2435
01:24:57,070 --> 01:24:57,320
can do a lot more right now that

2436
01:24:59,170 --> 01:24:59,420
first million is really just

2437
01:25:00,390 --> 01:25:00,640
going to

2438
01:25:01,050 --> 01:25:01,300
our initial programs of tracking

2439
01:25:05,150 --> 01:25:05,400
offering services those type

2440
01:25:08,270 --> 01:25:08,520
of things and of course NCI

2441
01:25:09,710 --> 01:25:09,960
itself which is vital in our

2442
01:25:11,410 --> 01:25:11,660
area but but an extra million

2443
01:25:13,510 --> 01:25:13,760
dollars on top being financed by

2444
01:25:15,670 --> 01:25:15,920
the drug itself it is is

2445
01:25:20,190 --> 01:25:20,440
powerful now if you guys can get

2446
01:25:20,910 --> 01:25:21,160
that more you know we're using

2447
01:25:22,430 --> 01:25:22,680
our marijuana tax money for

2448
01:25:23,870 --> 01:25:24,120
parks and recreation and

2449
01:25:25,750 --> 01:25:26,000
prevention at the youth level

2450
01:25:29,780 --> 01:25:30,030
and and it'll be amiss to say

2451
01:25:32,180 --> 01:25:32,430
deb's groups have all been

2452
01:25:34,660 --> 01:25:34,910
talking to us it's not just an

2453
01:25:36,640 --> 01:25:36,890
added tax. it's limiting the

2454
01:25:39,760 --> 01:25:40,010
number where it can come from

2455
01:25:42,440 --> 01:25:42,690
and if that's possibility that

2456
01:25:44,080 --> 01:25:44,330
would be wonderful too. We are

2457
01:25:45,900 --> 01:25:46,150
seeing the outnumber of alcohol

2458
01:25:47,080 --> 01:25:47,330
establishments in Gallup go

2459
01:25:48,540 --> 01:25:48,790
down?

2460
01:25:49,280 --> 01:25:49,530
but then we're seeing the

2461
01:25:51,620 --> 01:25:51,870
recreational marijuana stuff

2462
01:25:53,480 --> 01:25:53,730
exploding and and if we can get

2463
01:25:57,220 --> 01:25:57,470
a balance amongst them all and

2464
01:26:00,300 --> 01:26:00,550
and and more of a limit

2465
01:26:02,060 --> 01:26:02,310
it it it helps our law

2466
01:26:03,720 --> 01:26:03,970
enforcement with the the DWi or

2467
01:26:07,020 --> 01:26:07,270
driving impaired again the

2468
01:26:09,400 --> 01:26:09,650
more you spread it out

2469
01:26:10,860 --> 01:26:11,110
the harder it is to track the

2470
01:26:12,660 --> 01:26:12,910
harder it is to control and and

2471
01:26:14,540 --> 01:26:14,790
those type of things so if if

2472
01:26:18,440 --> 01:26:18,690
we can limit to where it's more

2473
01:26:21,020 --> 01:26:21,270
manageable

2474
01:26:21,800 --> 01:26:22,050
that would be a lot bigger help

2475
01:26:23,980 --> 01:26:24,230
too

2476
01:26:25,480 --> 01:26:25,730
thank you I have Representative

2477
01:26:27,340 --> 01:26:27,590
Garcia

2478
01:26:30,840 --> 01:26:31,090
thank you madam chair and

2479
01:26:32,420 --> 01:26:32,670
colleagues on the Indian

2480
01:26:34,600 --> 01:26:34,850
affairs committeetee I have a

2481
01:26:36,940 --> 01:26:37,190
number of questions that I would

2482
01:26:38,260 --> 01:26:38,510
like to ask. let me go ahead and

2483
01:26:39,460 --> 01:26:39,710
ask all of them just so you can

2484
01:26:40,940 --> 01:26:41,190
be able to respond to those

2485
01:26:45,460 --> 01:26:45,710
he first of all I also want

2486
01:26:47,600 --> 01:26:47,850
to support and

2487
01:26:48,600 --> 01:26:48,850
say that we do need documents on

2488
01:26:51,880 --> 01:26:52,130
the waterline issue that is

2489
01:26:54,580 --> 01:26:54,830
happening you stated a number

2490
01:26:57,920 --> 01:26:58,170
of numbers and data and

2491
01:27:00,440 --> 01:27:00,690
whatever that that you have

2492
01:27:03,060 --> 01:27:03,310
talked about but if you can put

2493
01:27:04,520 --> 01:27:04,770
that in writing it would be

2494
01:27:05,780 --> 01:27:06,030
easier for us to see what

2495
01:27:07,820 --> 01:27:08,070
what has been made and what's

2496
01:27:09,900 --> 01:27:10,150
what is still needed in those

2497
01:27:12,340 --> 01:27:12,590
areas and a number of people

2498
01:27:16,320 --> 01:27:16,570
and chapters and I guess

2499
01:27:19,040 --> 01:27:19,290
population that

2500
01:27:19,960 --> 01:27:20,210
' s impacted and will benefit

2501
01:27:22,200 --> 01:27:22,450
from this so if you can provide

2502
01:27:23,800 --> 01:27:24,050
that to us as soon as possible

2503
01:27:26,620 --> 01:27:26,870
like you've done with this

2504
01:27:27,840 --> 01:27:28,090
emergency warming center

2505
01:27:30,700 --> 01:27:30,950
with that what's what section

2506
01:27:33,640 --> 01:27:33,890
of the city government is

2507
01:27:35,200 --> 01:27:35,450
responsible for the emergency

2508
01:27:37,040 --> 01:27:37,290
warming centre

2509

2513
01:27:45,756 --> 01:27:46,006
health

2514
01:27:48,040 --> 01:27:48,290
and who was

2515
01:27:57,530 --> 01:27:57,780
implementing the emergency

2516
01:27:59,990 --> 01:28:00,240
center madam Chair

2517
01:28:01,710 --> 01:28:01,960
Representative Garcia umallllup

2518
01:28:03,770 --> 01:28:04,020
Community Health was the lead

2519
01:28:05,170 --> 01:28:05,420
agency for the

2520
01:28:08,770 --> 01:28:09,020
the implementation howard

2521
01:28:11,170 --> 01:28:11,420
Johnson we rented the two

2522
01:28:12,970 --> 01:28:13,220
ballrooms as a facility we also

2523
01:28:16,090 --> 01:28:16,340
had gallup transnsit do the

2524
01:28:17,570 --> 01:28:17,820
transportation out

2525
01:28:21,450 --> 01:28:21,700
gallupunity antry donated some

2526
01:28:22,290 --> 01:28:22,540
food so it was a well we all

2527
01:28:24,650 --> 01:28:24,900
collaborated together to work on

2528
01:28:26,650 --> 01:28:26,900
this

2529
01:28:27,950 --> 01:28:28,200
and then workforce solutions

2530
01:28:30,650 --> 01:28:30,900
officeice of housing gave us the

2531
01:28:31,770 --> 01:28:32,020
emergency funding and how long

2532
01:28:34,150 --> 01:28:34,400
has this been in operation?

2533
01:28:36,170 --> 01:28:36,420
Madam Cha Representative Garcia

2534
01:28:38,490 --> 01:28:38,740
this was only a pilot project

2535
01:28:40,390 --> 01:28:40,640
just one year which is a

2536
01:28:45,916 --> 01:28:46,166
not even it's like december 22

2537
01:28:46,723 --> 01:28:46,973
through September 28hre

2538
01:28:47,273 --> 01:28:47,523
representative 2.5

2539
01:28:54,220 --> 01:28:54,470
this is just to address people

2540
01:28:56,100 --> 01:28:56,350
that need a place during the

2541
01:28:57,900 --> 01:28:58,150
winter

2542
01:28:59,760 --> 01:29:00,010
but in the meantime we also are

2543
01:29:02,240 --> 01:29:02,490
very much aware of that unho

2544
01:29:04,340 --> 01:29:04,590
individuals within the city

2545
01:29:08,700 --> 01:29:08,950
I'm aware of that these

2546
01:29:10,960 --> 01:29:11,210
individuals

2547
01:29:11,660 --> 01:29:11,910
are coming and going at various

2548
01:29:14,900 --> 01:29:15,150
times but most of them continue

2549
01:29:17,540 --> 01:29:17,790
to be within the city

2550
01:29:19,880 --> 01:29:20,130
and I'm aware that these

2551
01:29:23,380 --> 01:29:23,630
unhealth individual had

2552
01:29:24,380 --> 01:29:24,630
established a camp down by the

2553
01:29:27,140 --> 01:29:27,390
river by the railroad track but

2554
01:29:29,560 --> 01:29:29,810
that has been cleaned out and

2555
01:29:31,540 --> 01:29:31,790
they're no longer there I'm just

2556
01:29:33,940 --> 01:29:34,190
wondering where did they go

2557
01:29:35,880 --> 01:29:36,130
where where are they now that

2558
01:29:38,120 --> 01:29:38,370
I'm sure there are other areas

2559
01:29:40,420 --> 01:29:40,670
that they have been establishing

2560
01:29:42,860 --> 01:29:43,110
and have been going to these

2561
01:29:44,720 --> 01:29:44,970
places

2562
01:29:46,040 --> 01:29:46,290
where are where are they now?

2563
01:29:49,980 --> 01:29:50,230
madam chairir Representative

2564
01:29:51,460 --> 01:29:51,710
Garcia, they do have different

2565
01:29:53,340 --> 01:29:53,590
locations where they move

2566
01:29:54,860 --> 01:29:55,110
throughout the city the city

2567
01:29:57,360 --> 01:29:57,610
does do the camp cleanups

2568
01:30:00,000 --> 01:30:00,250
they clean them up and they're

2569
01:30:01,360 --> 01:30:01,610
back in those locations probably

2570
01:30:03,900 --> 01:30:04,150
within a couple of weeks

2571
01:30:06,050 --> 01:30:06,300
we do have a an independent

2572
01:30:07,980 --> 01:30:08,230
shelter and a shelter at NI

2573
01:30:12,440 --> 01:30:12,690
part of our population about43%

2574
01:30:16,160 --> 01:30:16,410
of those are intakes for shelter

2575
01:30:18,700 --> 01:30:18,950
so we do have that and then the

2576
01:30:20,620 --> 01:30:20,870
independent livinggrame where

2577
01:30:22,560 --> 01:30:22,810
they can come stay leave their

2578
01:30:24,340 --> 01:30:24,590
stuff we do personal

2579
01:30:27,060 --> 01:30:27,310
improvement plan with them we

2580
01:30:28,980 --> 01:30:29,230
have them see a counselor and

2581
01:30:31,060 --> 01:30:31,310
then we have them attend groups

2582
01:30:33,060 --> 01:30:33,310
and then we even just got

2583
01:30:34,640 --> 01:30:34,890
bikes recently so they can go

2584
01:30:36,220 --> 01:30:36,470
look for

2585
01:30:38,800 --> 01:30:39,050
so we have different shelter

2586
01:30:40,740 --> 01:30:40,990
components in NCI

2587
01:30:44,180 --> 01:30:44,430
I see that between December

2588
01:30:49,740 --> 01:30:49,990
22 and February 28h of this past

2589
01:30:50,220 --> 01:30:50,470
year you have had 2971

2590
01:30:54,660 --> 01:30:54,910
intakes but you were only 636

2591
01:30:59,580 --> 01:30:59,830
were able to receive services

2592
01:31:02,080 --> 01:31:02,330
and be able to utilize the

2593
01:31:05,380 --> 01:31:05,630
warming center so looking at

2594
01:31:08,040 --> 01:31:08,290
that on a yearround basis that

2595
01:31:10,520 --> 01:31:10,770
would really probably triple it

2596
01:31:13,440 --> 01:31:13,690
even more

2597
01:31:14,580 --> 01:31:14,830
people that would be seeking

2598
01:31:16,600 --> 01:31:16,850
services are just be just

2599
01:31:20,760 --> 01:31:21,010
unhouse in the area what is the

2600
01:31:23,180 --> 01:31:23,430
city doing to address that

2601
01:31:26,300 --> 01:31:26,550
madam chairirpresentative Garcia

2602
01:31:28,660 --> 01:31:28,910
we did see a decrease in our

2603
01:31:30,460 --> 01:31:30,710
shelter population at NCI so we

2604
01:31:34,060 --> 01:31:34,310
and we saw the increase at the

2605
01:31:36,540 --> 01:31:36,790
warming shelter the warming

2606
01:31:38,080 --> 01:31:38,330
shelter had

2607
01:31:38,760 --> 01:31:39,010
more relaxed rules whereas

2608
01:31:42,320 --> 01:31:42,570
the detox center it's a a little

2609
01:31:44,580 --> 01:31:44,830
more strict so we've seen that

2610
01:31:46,420 --> 01:31:46,670
population just go to the

2611
01:31:47,974 --> 01:31:48,224
the warming

2612
01:31:52,240 --> 01:31:52,490
I guess my my question is ok we

2613
01:31:54,960 --> 01:31:55,210
have a number of individuals

2614
01:31:57,360 --> 01:31:57,610
that are on house they they're

2615
01:32:00,460 --> 01:32:00,710
here where everybody sees that

2616
01:32:02,820 --> 01:32:03,070
what is the city doing besides

2617
01:32:04,960 --> 01:32:05,210
doing the warming center center

2618
01:32:07,980 --> 01:32:08,230
are depending on NCI what what

2619
01:32:10,140 --> 01:32:10,390
are we doing to to assist and

2620
01:32:13,620 --> 01:32:13,870
any programs anything that's

2621
01:32:17,620 --> 01:32:17,870
being planned for them

2622
01:32:21,580 --> 01:32:21,830
madam chairir Representative

2623
01:32:24,160 --> 01:32:24,410
Garcia like again we're doing

2624
01:32:24,920 --> 01:32:25,170
our our outreach where we're

2625
01:32:27,520 --> 01:32:27,770
trying to make contact with them

2626
01:32:28,960 --> 01:32:29,210
to to get to the root of the

2627
01:32:31,520 --> 01:32:31,770
issues and refer them to

2628
01:32:33,260 --> 01:32:33,510
agencies or programs that

2629
01:32:36,100 --> 01:32:36,350
that will help them but

2630
01:32:39,200 --> 01:32:39,450
again, a lot of these people

2631
01:32:41,540 --> 01:32:41,790
don't want to go to the warming

2632
01:32:42,560 --> 01:32:42,810
center

2633
01:32:43,800 --> 01:32:44,050
because

2634
01:32:44,400 --> 01:32:44,650
they cannot be using alcohol or

2635
01:32:46,800 --> 01:32:47,050
drugs while in the warming

2636
01:32:48,200 --> 01:32:48,450
center

2637
01:32:50,380 --> 01:32:50,630
they don't want to go to NCI

2638
01:32:52,060 --> 01:32:52,310
because if they are intoxicated

2639
01:32:55,300 --> 01:32:55,550
and they have multiple they're

2640
01:32:57,560 --> 01:32:57,810
having to spend longer time

2641
01:32:59,140 --> 01:32:59,390
there and they don't want to

2642
01:33:00,700 --> 01:33:00,950
they went out the next day

2643
01:33:02,140 --> 01:33:02,390
they're looking for their next

2644
01:33:03,380 --> 01:33:03,630
day's fix I hate to say

2645
01:33:05,820 --> 01:33:06,070
so so we have a lot of these

2646
01:33:07,420 --> 01:33:07,670
that are making a choice

2647
01:33:08,540 --> 01:33:08,790
to be unhoused they're making

2648
01:33:11,440 --> 01:33:11,690
that choice we can offer them

2649
01:33:13,040 --> 01:33:13,290
services

2650
01:33:13,520 --> 01:33:13,770
but

2651
01:33:15,060 --> 01:33:15,310
again those services are clean

2652
01:33:18,440 --> 01:33:18,690
to be clean to be getting help

2653
01:33:21,780 --> 01:33:22,030
and and if they don't want that

2654
01:33:22,724 --> 01:33:22,974
they

2655
01:33:24,520 --> 01:33:24,770
they they're gonna live in the

2656
01:33:28,340 --> 01:33:28,590
ditch they would prefer to live

2657
01:33:29,500 --> 01:33:29,750
in the ditch they would be live

2658
01:33:31,780 --> 01:33:32,030
on the side of a somebody's

2659
01:33:33,060 --> 01:33:33,310
house those type of things

2660
01:33:35,720 --> 01:33:35,970
they are adding a huge cost to

2661
01:33:39,140 --> 01:33:39,390
our homeowners and business

2662
01:33:41,400 --> 01:33:41,650
owners because if they're on

2663
01:33:43,360 --> 01:33:43,610
private land state of New Mexico

2664
01:33:45,520 --> 01:33:45,770
inki donations we cannot clean

2665
01:33:46,940 --> 01:33:47,190
up

2666
01:33:47,140 --> 01:33:47,390
if it's private land. So if they

2667
01:33:49,680 --> 01:33:49,930
choose a a portion of a ditch

2668
01:33:51,680 --> 01:33:51,930
that

2669
01:33:52,240 --> 01:33:52,490
is in a business property we

2670
01:33:55,320 --> 01:33:55,570
can't clean it up. law

2671
01:33:56,680 --> 01:33:56,930
enforcement can move them along

2672
01:33:58,120 --> 01:33:58,370
but we can't come in and clean

2673
01:33:59,880 --> 01:34:00,130
it up. it it's a high expense. I

2674
01:34:02,140 --> 01:34:02,390
will say a lot of programs are

2675
01:34:03,760 --> 01:34:04,010
trying to help feed

2676
01:34:06,560 --> 01:34:06,810
they are coming in we have a

2677
01:34:08,480 --> 01:34:08,730
number of projects that that

2678
01:34:10,300 --> 01:34:10,550
feed on a daily basis different

2679
01:34:12,100 --> 01:34:12,350
areas of town and and then we

2680
01:34:14,220 --> 01:34:14,470
have a couple of others that

2681
01:34:15,260 --> 01:34:15,510
provide showers stuff like that

2682
01:34:17,660 --> 01:34:17,910
we're just hoping they're doing

2683
01:34:18,740 --> 01:34:18,990
those intakes and offering the

2684
01:34:20,620 --> 01:34:20,870
help

2685
01:34:21,460 --> 01:34:21,710
not just we feel good we fed you

2686
01:34:24,340 --> 01:34:24,590
but more we're trying to guild

2687
01:34:25,940 --> 01:34:26,190
your trust to get you into a

2688
01:34:27,360 --> 01:34:27,610
program

2689
01:34:28,960 --> 01:34:29,210
thank you for that information

2690
01:34:31,280 --> 01:34:31,530
and madam chair my last

2691
01:34:33,460 --> 01:34:33,710
question would be about the

2692
01:34:38,800 --> 01:34:39,050
because I've I've I I'm aware

2693
01:34:40,200 --> 01:34:40,450
of this experience the city

2694
01:34:43,080 --> 01:34:43,330
employees or anyone that

2695
01:34:45,780 --> 01:34:46,030
deals with the population

2696
01:34:48,260 --> 01:34:48,510
that is unhoused or better known

2697
01:34:51,800 --> 01:34:52,050
as homeless

2698
01:34:54,520 --> 01:34:54,770
they come here and they you know

2699
01:34:54,915 --> 01:34:55,165
they

2700
01:34:55,920 --> 01:34:56,170
they are here because of their

2701
01:35:01,200 --> 01:35:01,450
own problems issues whatever

2702
01:35:03,560 --> 01:35:03,810
their they're here and working

2703
01:35:05,240 --> 01:35:05,490
with one another and what are

2704
01:35:08,680 --> 01:35:08,930
we

2705
01:35:09,100 --> 01:35:09,350
doing any kind of training for

2706
01:35:12,980 --> 01:35:13,230
these employees so they are

2707
01:35:14,840 --> 01:35:15,090
sensitive to the situation and

2708
01:35:17,169 --> 01:35:17,419
and they're not prejudiced

2709
01:35:19,460 --> 01:35:19,710
against them and do what they

2710
01:35:21,800 --> 01:35:22,050
can to help help them when

2711
01:35:25,240 --> 01:35:25,490
when it comes to that do they

2712
01:35:29,280 --> 01:35:29,530
receive specialized training

2713
01:35:31,320 --> 01:35:31,570
to prevent discrimination or any

2714
01:35:35,020 --> 01:35:35,270
kind of treatment for these

2715
01:35:39,020 --> 01:35:39,270
individual I know it's really

2716
01:35:39,780 --> 01:35:40,030
hard to

2717
01:35:40,320 --> 01:35:40,570
tolerate and and deal with a

2718
01:35:43,440 --> 01:35:43,690
situation

2719
01:35:46,000 --> 01:35:46,250
because it's individual

2720
01:35:48,040 --> 01:35:48,290
choices that have been made but

2721
01:35:50,520 --> 01:35:50,770
they're still here and

2722
01:35:52,620 --> 01:35:52,870
they're still part of become

2723
01:35:54,180 --> 01:35:54,430
part of our community while back

2724
01:35:56,260 --> 01:35:56,510
a while ago you said that even

2725
01:35:58,840 --> 01:35:59,090
though the chapters south are

2726
01:36:01,560 --> 01:36:01,810
not part of members of gallup

2727
01:36:04,840 --> 01:36:05,090
but remember I come in about

2728
01:36:06,780 --> 01:36:07,030
every week to pick up hay to

2729
01:36:10,540 --> 01:36:10,790
pick up food and I become a

2730
01:36:12,740 --> 01:36:12,990
member of gallup and contribute

2731
01:36:14,420 --> 01:36:14,670
to to gallup

2732
01:36:15,840 --> 01:36:16,090
ll up in whatever way possible

2733
01:36:17,640 --> 01:36:17,890
even though I live in Ceepola

2734
01:36:19,100 --> 01:36:19,350
County so based on that I

2735
01:36:23,160 --> 01:36:23,410
just want to make sure that

2736
01:36:26,020 --> 01:36:26,270
our people whoever they are re

2737
01:36:30,472 --> 01:36:30,722
whether they'renavajozunni

2738
01:36:33,400 --> 01:36:33,650
non natives that they receive a

2739
01:36:37,220 --> 01:36:37,470
fair treatment and and not

2740
01:36:38,980 --> 01:36:39,230
make fun of that's where I'm

2741
01:36:41,880 --> 01:36:42,130
coming from

2742
01:36:44,260 --> 01:36:44,510

2745
01:36:49,680 --> 01:36:49,930

2746
01:36:51,140 --> 01:36:51,390
individuals into thehavi health

2747
01:36:53,280 --> 01:36:53,530
field and then we take them out

2748
01:36:54,940 --> 01:36:55,190
to do outreach and coach them

2749
01:36:56,720 --> 01:36:56,970
how to interact we provide

2750
01:36:58,520 --> 01:36:58,770
trauma informed care and we also

2751
01:37:00,940 --> 01:37:01,190
have our evaluator come in and

2752
01:37:03,400 --> 01:37:03,650
do a random fidelity checks with

2753
01:37:05,960 --> 01:37:06,210
our groups our counselors and

2754
01:37:08,240 --> 01:37:08,490
then we have them meet with

01:37:11,160 --> 01:37:11,410
we are we are provi

2757
01:37:24,470 --> 01:37:24,720

01:39:38,710 --> 01:39:38,960
part partnership

2811
01:39:40,630 --> 01:39:40,880
council delegate

2812
01:39:41,408 --> 01:39:41,658
Eray.

2813
01:39:43,330 --> 01:39:43,580
Nelson if I remember right it

2814
01:39:46,050 --> 01:39:46,300
has has actually talked with me

2815
01:39:48,050 --> 01:39:48,300
and said you know these are our

2816
01:39:49,750 --> 01:39:50,000
family members going to town.

2817
01:39:51,690 --> 01:39:51,940
What help do they need to bring

2818
01:39:54,170 --> 01:39:54,420
him home and and why aren't they

2819
01:39:54,810 --> 01:39:55,060
being accepted at home was his

2820
01:39:56,450 --> 01:39:56,700
biggest concern

2821
01:39:58,250 --> 01:39:58,500
so so we are starting to see

2822
01:40:00,180 --> 01:40:00,430
some threads starting to weave

2823
01:40:02,280 --> 01:40:02,530
together of how can we work

2824
01:40:04,660 --> 01:40:04,910
together it's slow and and and

2825
01:40:06,840 --> 01:40:07,090
we'd love to see it getting

2826
01:40:08,680 --> 01:40:08,930
deeper thicker thicker

2827
01:40:10,980 --> 01:40:11,230
woven to where we're all

2828
01:40:13,680 --> 01:40:13,930
working towards the same thing

2829
01:40:15,460 --> 01:40:15,710
cause yes they are coming from

2830
01:40:16,940 --> 01:40:17,190
surrounding areas like

2831
01:40:18,320 --> 01:40:18,570
Representative Garcia said but

2832
01:40:20,780 --> 01:40:21,030
we consider us all

2833
01:40:22,020 --> 01:40:22,270
from the same area so however

2834
01:40:25,840 --> 01:40:26,090
we can work with these other

2835
01:40:27,140 --> 01:40:27,390
legislative bodies. I mean

2836
01:40:32,160 --> 01:40:32,410
sovereign sovereignty to to

2837
01:40:32,500 --> 01:40:32,750
other groups and other areas we

2838
01:40:35,300 --> 01:40:35,550
we would love to to come

2839
01:40:36,060 --> 01:40:36,310
together

2840
01:40:37,820 --> 01:40:38,070
so madam vice chair and

2841
01:40:39,700 --> 01:40:39,950
so I just recently last week

2842
01:40:43,800 --> 01:40:44,050
went through because with a a

2843
01:40:46,140 --> 01:40:46,390
company or

2844
01:40:47,180 --> 01:40:47,430
the behavioral health people

2845
01:40:50,140 --> 01:40:50,390
that working that are working

2846
01:40:52,420 --> 01:40:52,670
with thenavajo nation that do

2847
01:40:53,780 --> 01:40:54,030
have a contract with the Navajo

2848
01:40:54,980 --> 01:40:55,230
Nation now operating in arizona

2849
01:40:57,320 --> 01:40:57,570
so it's trying to bring them

2850
01:40:58,360 --> 01:40:58,610
here to New Mexico so that was

2851
01:41:00,480 --> 01:41:00,730
just beginning discussions just

2852
01:41:02,280 --> 01:41:02,530
had a real good meeting last

2853
01:41:04,100 --> 01:41:04,350
week a lot a lot

2854
01:41:07,260 --> 01:41:07,510
to do that we don't have but

2855
01:41:11,600 --> 01:41:11,850
I do caution to that they they

2856
01:41:13,180 --> 01:41:13,430
do have like veterans facilities

2857
01:41:15,200 --> 01:41:15,450
too and all kinds of

2858
01:41:17,340 --> 01:41:17,590
but we'll talk more about that

2859
01:41:18,500 --> 01:41:18,750
but there there is something

2860
01:41:19,520 --> 01:41:19,770
going on right now

2861
01:41:23,440 --> 01:41:23,690
OK thank you. I I was wondering

2862
01:41:24,740 --> 01:41:24,990
maybe we could entertain if we

2863
01:41:26,940 --> 01:41:27,190
don't already have a

2864
01:41:30,260 --> 01:41:30,510
multidisciplinary team or group

2865
01:41:31,340 --> 01:41:31,590
or committee within our

2866
01:41:33,200 --> 01:41:33,450
county or city and the reason

2867
01:41:36,920 --> 01:41:37,170
why I say that is because I work

2868
01:41:39,060 --> 01:41:39,310
at the hospital and we have the

2869
01:41:41,760 --> 01:41:42,010
same types of

2870
01:41:43,500 --> 01:41:43,750
patients constituents

2871
01:41:47,100 --> 01:41:47,350
individuals some of them driving

2872
01:41:49,280 --> 01:41:49,530
across the state one way or the

2873
01:41:52,260 --> 01:41:52,510
other getting stranded after an

2874
01:41:55,260 --> 01:41:55,510
emergency room treatment

2875
01:41:57,500 --> 01:41:57,750
our own folks having no place to

2876
01:42:00,120 --> 01:42:00,370
go after discharge, having no

2877
01:42:02,280 --> 01:42:02,530
transportation after discharge

2878
01:42:04,960 --> 01:42:05,210
and then our referrals are NCI

2879
01:42:08,020 --> 01:42:08,270
and you know where else wherever

2880
01:42:09,640 --> 01:42:09,890
else we can find help even

2881
01:42:13,520 --> 01:42:13,770
having to call the chaptershojo

2882
01:42:18,820 --> 01:42:19,070
so just the thought and then

2883
01:42:20,200 --> 01:42:20,450
my other question is about

2884
01:42:23,380 --> 01:42:23,630
the water line

2885
01:42:25,080 --> 01:42:25,330
I represent Eastern Agency so

2886
01:42:28,020 --> 01:42:28,270
the water line from standingRock

2887
01:42:32,740 --> 01:42:32,990
to Crown Point and that reach I

2888
01:42:35,760 --> 01:42:36,010
am advocating for. I understand

2889
01:42:37,380 --> 01:42:37,630
there's a10 million dollars

2890
01:42:38,340 --> 01:42:38,590
shortfall? do you know anything

2891
01:42:41,200 --> 01:42:41,450
about that or the specifics?

2892
01:42:43,620 --> 01:42:43,870
Thank you.

2893
01:42:46,600 --> 01:42:46,850
madam chairir Representative

2894
01:42:48,220 --> 01:42:48,470
Johnson, I'm not too sure

2895
01:42:49,820 --> 01:42:50,070
exactly what the10 million

2896
01:42:50,980 --> 01:42:51,230
dollars is. I know there's a

2897
01:42:52,420 --> 01:42:52,670
bunch of different

2898
01:42:54,800 --> 01:42:55,050
projects that came out of that

2899
01:42:56,220 --> 01:42:56,470
main line that went from that

2900
01:42:57,720 --> 01:42:57,970
went along the was that 99

2901
01:43:02,380 --> 01:43:02,630
they're and it might be

2902
01:43:02,980 --> 01:43:03,230
something that they're they're

2903
01:43:04,260 --> 01:43:04,510
gonna try to get state funding

2904
01:43:05,240 --> 01:43:05,490
for and it might be just

2905
01:43:06,480 --> 01:43:06,730
tributary off the main line but

2906
01:43:08,840 --> 01:43:09,090
I'm not too aware I know the

2907
01:43:10,060 --> 01:43:10,310
whole project has about a500

2908
01:43:11,980 --> 01:43:12,230
million dollars shortfall right

2909
01:43:13,640 --> 01:43:13,890
now which Frank talked about

2910
01:43:15,160 --> 01:43:15,410
which needs and it's and and it

2911
01:43:16,220 --> 01:43:16,470
might be included in that

2912
01:43:19,240 --> 01:43:19,490
thank you

2913
01:43:20,680 --> 01:43:20,930

water lines to our homes is very

2917
01:43:28,920 --> 01:43:29,170
important. I have both

2918
01:43:30,880 --> 01:43:31,130
experiences. I live in the city

2919
01:43:32,780 --> 01:43:33,030

2920
01:43:35,180 --> 01:43:35,430
homestead about 20 miles

northeast of here and

2922
01:43:38,360 --> 01:43:38,610
I had an incident hauling water

2923
01:43:41,240 --> 01:43:41,490

and others for raising their

2932
01:44:04,160 --> 01:44:04,410
questions because they covered

2933
01:44:05,720 --> 01:44:05,970
most of what I wanted. So I'm

2934
01:44:07,020 --> 01:44:07,270
going to zero in on just a few

2935
01:44:08,580 --> 01:44:08,830
things

2936
01:44:10,460 --> 01:44:10,710
in terms of the intake and I'm

2937
01:44:12,580 --> 01:44:12,830
raising these questions because

2938
01:44:14,100 --> 01:44:14,350
I

2939
01:44:15,620 --> 01:44:15,870
in my previous career I'm

2940
01:44:18,780 --> 01:44:19,030
clinical social worker dealing

2941
01:44:20,200 --> 01:44:20,450
with substance and alcohol abuse

2942
01:44:22,180 --> 01:44:22,430
individuals and families

2943
01:44:24,380 --> 01:44:24,630
needs and so it's important to

2944
01:44:27,340 --> 01:44:27,590
me to get these type of

2945
01:44:28,840 --> 01:44:29,090
questions out. so in the intake

2946
01:44:31,260 --> 01:44:31,510
process and the only information

2947
01:44:33,000 --> 01:44:33,250
I have is relevant to what you

2948
01:44:34,880 --> 01:44:35,130
passed out here in terms of the

2949
01:44:36,480 --> 01:44:36,730
emergency warming center when

2950
01:44:39,460 --> 01:44:39,710
intake and it applies to NCI and

2951
01:44:43,040 --> 01:44:43,290
wherever else intake is done

2952
01:44:46,700 --> 01:44:46,950
what is the professional

2953
01:44:48,300 --> 01:44:48,550
preparation of the persons that

2954
01:44:50,100 --> 01:44:50,350
are doing the intake.

2955
01:44:52,180 --> 01:44:52,430
that's question one

2956
01:44:55,620 --> 01:44:55,870
madam chairirpresentative

2957
01:45:01,560 --> 01:45:01,810
roybalcaballero sorry

2958
01:45:04,060 --> 01:45:04,310
when we did the the emergency

2959
01:45:07,320 --> 01:45:07,570
shelter Gallllupunity Health had

2960
01:45:07,960 --> 01:45:08,210
a one on one training and all

2961
01:45:09,800 --> 01:45:10,050
day training and they did

2962
01:45:12,060 --> 01:45:12,310
hire people who had shelter

2963
01:45:13,520 --> 01:45:13,770
experience and worked with

2964
01:45:16,520 --> 01:45:16,770
the unsheltered one of them did

2965
01:45:19,340 --> 01:45:19,590
the burrito project who was the

2966
01:45:20,920 --> 01:45:21,170
manager who holds

2967
01:45:22,640 --> 01:45:22,890
Monthly events for the

2968
01:45:26,430 --> 01:45:26,680
unsheltered and offers them

2969
01:45:27,870 --> 01:45:28,120
showers and things like that so

2970
01:45:29,450 --> 01:45:29,700
a lot of the the individuals who

2971
01:45:31,510 --> 01:45:31,760
were hired had training or

2972
01:45:33,550 --> 01:45:33,800
experience within that and then

2973
01:45:36,290 --> 01:45:36,540
our intake process this was a

2974
01:45:38,550 --> 01:45:38,800
little different

2975
01:45:41,110 --> 01:45:41,360
we didn't have it so much

2976
01:45:42,810 --> 01:45:43,060
clinical at the emergency

2977
01:45:43,950 --> 01:45:44,200
warming shelter but at the the

2978
01:45:46,190 --> 01:45:46,440
detox center we do have a

2979
01:45:48,310 --> 01:45:48,560
counselor who does the expert

2980
01:45:50,070 --> 01:45:50,320
screening with them and then we

2981
01:45:51,990 --> 01:45:52,240
try and get them into treatment

2982
01:45:53,470 --> 01:45:53,720
once they're discharged the

2983
01:45:55,310 --> 01:45:55,560
numbers that were given within

2984
01:45:56,770 --> 01:45:57,020
those 1000 we're only with the

2985
01:46:00,470 --> 01:46:00,720
twelvehour holds that are

2986
01:46:01,690 --> 01:46:01,940
discharged

2987
01:46:02,110 --> 01:46:02,360

01:46:05,110 --> 01:46:05,360
thank you so madam chair the the

2989
01:46:07,330 --> 01:46:07,580
whole point about intake in

2990
01:46:09,410 --> 01:46:09,660
general just the intake in

2991
01:46:10,910 --> 01:46:11,160
general and why the preparation

2992
01:46:12,970 --> 01:46:13,220
of those that are taking intake

2993
01:46:14,510 --> 01:46:14,760
is so critically important is

2994
01:46:16,570 --> 01:46:16,820
based on all the issues that you

2996
01:46:20,590 --> 01:46:20,840
that is that we have

2997
01:46:22,690 --> 01:46:22,940
individuals that

2998
01:46:23,770 --> 01:46:24,020
alcohol substance abuse

2999
01:46:29,290 --> 01:46:29,540
mental health, s possible

3000
01:46:31,450 --> 01:46:31,700
medical issues as well and so

3001
01:46:34,110 --> 01:46:34,360
the intake process is not just a

3002
01:46:36,430 --> 01:46:36,680
process of taking an application

3003
01:46:38,030 --> 01:46:38,280
or interviewing it's a what I

3004
01:46:42,150 --> 01:46:42,400
would view an indepth look at

3005
01:46:45,310 --> 01:46:45,560
the person who's sitting in

3006
01:46:47,410 --> 01:46:47,660
front of you in depth and

3007
01:46:49,310 --> 01:46:49,560
looking at that person madam

3008
01:46:50,670 --> 01:46:50,920
chair holistically to try to get

3009
01:46:53,230 --> 01:46:53,480
to the root the whole idea for

3010
01:46:54,970 --> 01:46:55,220
all of us

3011
01:46:55,510 --> 01:46:55,760
is to get to the root causes of

3012
01:46:58,050 --> 01:46:58,300
why we're seeing these kinds of

3013
01:47:00,450 --> 01:47:00,700
symptoms and and reliance on

3014
01:47:06,250 --> 01:47:06,500
or lack of reliance on on self

3015
01:47:10,010 --> 01:47:10,260
so I I would stress that that

3016
01:47:12,790 --> 01:47:13,040
the intake process in general

3017
01:47:16,750 --> 01:47:17,000
where whether it's in the

3018
01:47:18,890 --> 01:47:19,140
warming center or whether it's

3019
01:47:19,310 --> 01:47:19,560
an NCI or wherever it happens it

3020
01:47:22,430 --> 01:47:22,680
really is the place where you

3021
01:47:23,950 --> 01:47:24,200
have the actual professional

3022
01:47:26,730 --> 01:47:26,980
preparation and you you have a

3023
01:47:29,850 --> 01:47:30,100
lot of resources here or in

3024
01:47:32,630 --> 01:47:32,880
the neighboring areas with

3025
01:47:33,970 --> 01:47:34,220
universities I know that

3026
01:47:36,710 --> 01:47:36,960
there's student interns work

3027
01:47:39,030 --> 01:47:39,280
work experience that are already

3028
01:47:42,310 --> 01:47:42,560
in their3rd and4th year those

3029
01:47:44,070 --> 01:47:44,320
are perfect places for this

3030
01:47:47,950 --> 01:47:48,200
placements intake. So I would

3031
01:47:52,210 --> 01:47:52,460
just

3032
01:47:53,170 --> 01:47:53,420
I think we're all trying to get

3033
01:47:54,890 --> 01:47:55,140
at a comprehensive approach to

3034
01:47:56,650 --> 01:47:56,900
try to resolve these problems.

3035
01:47:59,210 --> 01:47:59,460
and aspresentative Garcia

3036
01:48:00,990 --> 01:48:01,240
mentioned we have an obligation

3037
01:48:03,030 --> 01:48:03,280
these are our people we have

3038
01:48:05,310 --> 01:48:05,560
an obligation to make sure we do

3039
01:48:06,890 --> 01:48:07,140
this so we don't want madam

3040
01:48:09,930 --> 01:48:10,180
chairir individuals a revolving

3041
01:48:10,970 --> 01:48:11,220
door we want

3042
01:48:12,370 --> 01:48:12,620
an end to this and so how we get

3043
01:48:16,730 --> 01:48:16,980
to that is by trying to look at

3044
01:48:18,750 --> 01:48:19,000
the whole person, the whole

3045
01:48:20,590 --> 01:48:20,840
family and then try to reach the

3046
01:48:23,990 --> 01:48:24,240
root causes so that

3047
01:48:25,230 --> 01:48:25,480
it was mentioned several times

3048
01:48:29,190 --> 01:48:29,440
that that the these are

3049
01:48:32,510 --> 01:48:32,760
choices that are being made by

3050
01:48:35,090 --> 01:48:35,340
these individuals to go back

3051
01:48:37,330 --> 01:48:37,580
to the

3052
01:48:39,848 --> 01:48:40,098
it

3053
01:48:42,220 --> 01:48:42,470
it's not necessarily a choice

3054
01:48:45,000 --> 01:48:45,250
it's how they see themselves

3055
01:48:47,680 --> 01:48:47,930
relative to society in general

3056
01:48:51,060 --> 01:48:51,310
and there's no place for these

3057
01:48:52,720 --> 01:48:52,970
persons. there's no place there

3058
01:48:55,620 --> 01:48:55,870
there and so there's a reason

3059
01:48:58,080 --> 01:48:58,330
why

3060
01:48:58,540 --> 01:48:58,790
we use different terminology

3061
01:49:02,160 --> 01:49:02,410
we're moving away from

3062
01:49:03,160 --> 01:49:03,410
homelessness we're now trying to

3063
01:49:04,840 --> 01:49:05,090
move away from unhoused in the

3064
01:49:07,040 --> 01:49:07,290
arena of social work and

3065
01:49:09,000 --> 01:49:09,250
casework because

3066
01:49:10,080 --> 01:49:10,330
we we can't take an attitude

3067
01:49:16,210 --> 01:49:16,460
or perspective or

3068
01:49:17,950 --> 01:49:18,200
or a prejudice in any form or

3069
01:49:22,510 --> 01:49:22,760
fashion and then

3070
01:49:24,810 --> 01:49:25,060
by by stating that it's their

3071
01:49:27,970 --> 01:49:28,220
choice. Yes, they may go back

3072
01:49:30,690 --> 01:49:30,940
but there's a reason why they're

3073
01:49:31,830 --> 01:49:32,080
going back

3074
01:49:33,150 --> 01:49:33,400
and I I would strongly

3075
01:49:35,670 --> 01:49:35,920
look at taking a comprehensive

3076
01:49:38,170 --> 01:49:38,420
approach one stop, share the

3077
01:49:41,450 --> 01:49:41,700
resources that are available

3078
01:49:42,790 --> 01:49:43,040
under one roof and then be able

3079
01:49:45,410 --> 01:49:45,660
to address those needs

3080
01:49:47,831 --> 01:49:48,081
uhpresentative vice chairir

3081
01:49:48,790 --> 01:49:49,040
Johnson mentioned the medical

3082
01:49:50,850 --> 01:49:51,100
the hospital there's medical

3083
01:49:52,450 --> 01:49:52,700
institutions here they need

3084
01:49:54,950 --> 01:49:55,200
to be

3085
01:49:55,370 --> 01:49:55,620
involved because we don't we

3086
01:49:58,350 --> 01:49:58,600
don't know what the medical, uh,

3087
01:50:00,800 --> 01:50:01,050
wellbeing of that person is or

3088
01:50:01,920 --> 01:50:02,170
or the family or the children so

3089
01:50:04,860 --> 01:50:05,110
I I just encourage you to kind

3090
01:50:07,020 --> 01:50:07,270
of move away from

3091
01:50:10,820 --> 01:50:11,070
treating the intake process as

3092
01:50:13,900 --> 01:50:14,150
just an filling out forms

3093
01:50:16,020 --> 01:50:16,270
process and looking at it from a

3094
01:50:18,880 --> 01:50:19,130
more indepth comprehensive

3095
01:50:20,540 --> 01:50:20,790
way and that so one final

3096
01:50:23,740 --> 01:50:23,990
question and you may not be able

3097
01:50:25,580 --> 01:50:25,830
to answer that madam chairir

3098
01:50:26,980 --> 01:50:27,230
right now but I'd like to

3099
01:50:29,100 --> 01:50:29,350
know what the percentage all the

3100
01:50:31,600 --> 01:50:31,850
funding that you mentioned that

3101
01:50:33,060 --> 01:50:33,310
has been coming in either

3102
01:50:34,680 --> 01:50:34,930
through the federal or however

3103
01:50:36,220 --> 01:50:36,470
else the all the other funding

3104
01:50:38,000 --> 01:50:38,250
what percentage goes directly to

3105
01:50:40,000 --> 01:50:40,250
direct service and what

3106
01:50:41,860 --> 01:50:42,110
percentage goes to

3107
01:50:42,940 --> 01:50:43,190
administration. I know that

3108
01:50:44,480 --> 01:50:44,730
there are limits by funding

3109
01:50:47,700 --> 01:50:47,950
sources in terms of

3110
01:50:49,040 --> 01:50:49,290
administration but I'd be

3111
01:50:51,040 --> 01:50:51,290
curious to see how much is

3112
01:50:52,500 --> 01:50:52,750
actually going into direct

3113
01:50:53,800 --> 01:50:54,050
service and then the longevity

3114
01:50:56,720 --> 01:50:56,970
of of the service you you

3115
01:51:01,000 --> 01:51:01,250
kind of address it

3116
01:51:02,380 --> 01:51:02,630
in just this warming center but

3117
01:51:06,140 --> 01:51:06,390
I think in general it would

3118
01:51:08,440 --> 01:51:08,690
help to be able to look at

3119
01:51:12,820 --> 01:51:13,070
how long

3120
01:51:14,560 --> 01:51:14,810
why they're not staying the

3121
01:51:16,960 --> 01:51:17,210
questions should be asked why

3122
01:51:18,500 --> 01:51:18,750
did they come to gallup in the

3123
01:51:19,660 --> 01:51:19,910
first place

3124
01:51:21,040 --> 01:51:21,290
and what are they seeking when

3125
01:51:24,720 --> 01:51:24,970
and then

3126
01:51:25,340 --> 01:51:25,590
a lot of questions there's a lot

3127
01:51:29,920 --> 01:51:30,170
of questions we need to ask but

3128
01:51:31,680 --> 01:51:31,930
anyway, madam chair if you

3129
01:51:34,200 --> 01:51:34,450
can answer that right now that's

3130
01:51:35,320 --> 01:51:35,570
fine. I don't want to take too

3131
01:51:36,440 --> 01:51:36,690
much more time but if you can

3132
01:51:37,740 --> 01:51:37,990
provide that to the film I mean

3133
01:51:39,280 --> 01:51:39,530
to the committee that would be

3134
01:51:40,440 --> 01:51:40,690
helpful. Thank you.

3135
01:51:42,140 --> 01:51:42,390
madam chairir, umpresentativeRoy

3136
01:51:44,004 --> 01:51:44,254
Ball umabbriero

3137
01:51:47,960 --> 01:51:48,210
we didn't take any funding from

3138
01:51:50,220 --> 01:51:50,470
the emergency shelter that went

3139
01:51:52,040 --> 01:51:52,290
all directly this was a pilot

3140
01:51:54,540 --> 01:51:54,790
project and we wanted to have it

3141
01:51:56,680 --> 01:51:56,930
low barrier so that included

3142
01:51:58,700 --> 01:51:58,950
not as many questions during the

3143
01:52:01,220 --> 01:52:01,470
intake process because we didn't

3144
01:52:02,720 --> 01:52:02,970
want to screen anybody out at

3145
01:52:04,660 --> 01:52:04,910
the beginning and then for the

3146
01:52:06,700 --> 01:52:06,950
other funding the IHS funding

3147
01:52:10,380 --> 01:52:10,630
it funds my salary and another

3148
01:52:11,880 --> 01:52:12,130
employee and we go I'm the

3149
01:52:14,240 --> 01:52:14,490
program manager and we only have

3150
01:52:15,900 --> 01:52:16,150
two staff in our behavioral

3151
01:52:16,523 --> 01:52:16,773

thank you madam chairir and

3156
01:52:24,380 --> 01:52:24,630
and so there's no other intake

3157
01:52:27,700 --> 01:52:27,950
process that occurs outside of

3158
01:52:30,280 --> 01:52:30,530
the warming center

3159
01:52:31,400 --> 01:52:31,650
don't you have an intake process

01:52:32,940 --> 01:52:33,190
at NTI also madam chairir yes

3161
01:52:35,780 --> 01:52:36,030

3179

question I had was of the

3180

clients who came into the

3181
01:53:13,600 --> 01:53:13,850
worming center were any of those

3182
01:53:14,780 --> 01:53:15,030
children?

01:53:19,120 --> 01:53:19,370
Madam chair on the corner we

3184
01:53:21,600 --> 01:53:21,850
had

3185
01:53:28,200 --> 01:53:28,450
six families and18 adults thank

3186
01:53:28,380 --> 01:53:28,630
you thank you

3187
01:53:30,260 --> 01:53:30,510
and then it was mentioned

3188
01:53:31,700 --> 01:53:31,950
earlier that graduates of the

3189
01:53:34,800 --> 01:53:35,050
detox program weren't able to go

3190
01:53:37,200 --> 01:53:37,450
home because of cost two part

3191
01:53:38,860 --> 01:53:39,110
question is is there a

3192
01:53:40,700 --> 01:53:40,950
willingness to go home to

3193
01:53:41,780 --> 01:53:42,030
participants want to go home and

3194
01:53:43,360 --> 01:53:43,610
is it just is it a a barrier is

3195
01:53:46,560 --> 01:53:46,810
it a cost barrier to get them

3196
01:53:48,180 --> 01:53:48,430
home if

3197
01:53:51,510 --> 01:53:51,760
madam chair senator umarrlie

3198
01:53:55,010 --> 01:53:55,260
a lot of these individuals have

3199
01:53:56,830 --> 01:53:57,080
family dynamics where they've

3200
01:54:00,390 --> 01:54:00,640
drank a lot and the family

3201
01:54:01,730 --> 01:54:01,980
doesn't want him home so it's

3202
01:54:04,250 --> 01:54:04,500
about building those bridges

3203
01:54:06,630 --> 01:54:06,880
we've had instances where

3204
01:54:08,850 --> 01:54:09,100
people want bus pass we do offer

3205
01:54:10,570 --> 01:54:10,820
them bus passes if they want to

3206
01:54:12,960 --> 01:54:13,210
go home and we offer them the

3207
01:54:14,830 --> 01:54:15,080
ability to call their family

3208
01:54:17,080 --> 01:54:17,330
to let them know they're at

3209
01:54:18,310 --> 01:54:18,560
detox. Most don't take them

3210
01:54:20,750 --> 01:54:21,000
up on that offer and if they

3211
01:54:23,590 --> 01:54:23,840
do not live in

3212
01:54:24,570 --> 01:54:24,820
gallup we do offer them a bus

3213
01:54:26,990 --> 01:54:27,240
pass or train ticket if they

3214
01:54:30,170 --> 01:54:30,420
want to return home. OK thank

3215
01:54:30,430 --> 01:54:30,680
you and then the next question

3216
01:54:32,290 --> 01:54:32,540
is about your last slide here

3217
01:54:33,850 --> 01:54:34,100
the NCI intake the breakdown

3218
01:54:37,590 --> 01:54:37,840
of numbers doesn't tell me how

3219
01:54:40,010 --> 01:54:40,260
many participants that is is

3220
01:54:41,490 --> 01:54:41,740
that the total 2971 or is that a

3221
01:54:44,210 --> 01:54:44,460
different total?

3222
01:54:47,280 --> 01:54:47,530
the total on that is1006

3223
01:54:52,040 --> 01:54:52,290
this is for NCI not for the

3224
01:54:53,880 --> 01:54:54,130
warming clinic and this is only

3225
01:54:55,740 --> 01:54:55,990
for the tw2 hour hold. so those

3226
01:54:58,220 --> 01:54:58,470
individuals that came in they

3227
01:55:00,500 --> 01:55:00,750
blew a.20 1 zeroed out we

3228
01:55:04,300 --> 01:55:04,550
have to meet with a counselor

3229
01:55:05,980 --> 01:55:06,230
offer them services if they're

3230
01:55:07,920 --> 01:55:08,170
interested in treatment we do a

3231
01:55:09,400 --> 01:55:09,650
warm handoff to four corners or

3232
01:55:11,620 --> 01:55:11,870
even Albuquerque, Las Cruces

3233
01:55:13,800 --> 01:55:14,050
wherever they want to go and we

3234
01:55:15,360 --> 01:55:15,610
coordinate with medicaid to do

3235
01:55:17,000 --> 01:55:17,250
transport. thank you and then

3236
01:55:19,780 --> 01:55:20,030
I didn't get a comprehensive

3237
01:55:20,940 --> 01:55:21,190
picture

3238
01:55:21,580 --> 01:55:21,830
of the total cost. there's

3239
01:55:24,160 --> 01:55:24,410
not a budget associated with the

3240
01:55:25,880 --> 01:55:26,130
emergency warming center is

3241
01:55:27,838 --> 01:55:28,088
it175,000 plus inkind donations

3242
01:55:29,766 --> 01:55:30,016
repres us

3243
01:55:33,320 --> 01:55:33,570
madam chair senator Charlie yes

3244
01:55:36,300 --> 01:55:36,550
and do you have a breakdown of

3245
01:55:37,700 --> 01:55:37,950
what those inkind donation

3246
01:55:38,900 --> 01:55:39,150
totals are

3247
01:55:40,300 --> 01:55:40,550
I don't

3248
01:55:42,740 --> 01:55:42,990
in thinking about a potential

3249
01:55:44,280 --> 01:55:44,530
fiscal agent that those are the

3250
01:55:46,440 --> 01:55:46,690
questions that I'm thinking

3251
01:55:47,400 --> 01:55:47,650
about right who can sustain a

3252
01:55:49,120 --> 01:55:49,370
program of this budget. I mean

3253
01:55:51,580 --> 01:55:51,830
you've said that the city would

3254
01:55:52,960 --> 01:55:53,210
be willing to be a fiscal agent.

3255
01:55:54,760 --> 01:55:55,010
do you have potential entities

3256
01:55:57,400 --> 01:55:57,650
ready to step in and continue

3257
01:55:59,360 --> 01:55:59,610
the program?

3258
01:56:04,809 --> 01:56:05,059
Gallllupun madam chairir,

3259
01:56:06,560 --> 01:56:06,810
Senator Charlie Gel Community

3260
01:56:06,760 --> 01:56:07,010
Health has shared interest with

3261
01:56:09,260 --> 01:56:09,510
wanting to continue they

3262
01:56:10,780 --> 01:56:11,030
actually wanted to do a cooling

3263
01:56:11,960 --> 01:56:12,210
center this summer just

3264
01:56:13,200 --> 01:56:13,450
it got cool before we got to it

3265
01:56:16,460 --> 01:56:16,710
it's it's already getting nippy

3266
01:56:18,780 --> 01:56:19,030
falls falls here so so we've

3267
01:56:21,240 --> 01:56:21,490
already got Gallup Community

3268
01:56:22,060 --> 01:56:22,310
Health and and several other

3269
01:56:23,480 --> 01:56:23,730
entities wanting to again it

3270
01:56:27,340 --> 01:56:27,590
comes down to having the

3271
01:56:30,080 --> 01:56:30,330
backbone which came from

3272
01:56:32,821 --> 01:56:33,071
that175,000

3273
01:56:36,020 --> 01:56:36,270
something like that to to get it

3274
01:56:38,180 --> 01:56:38,430
going and then they're in income

3275
01:56:39,960 --> 01:56:40,210
can sustain for a short period

3276
01:56:42,440 --> 01:56:42,690
of time but without the infuse

3277
01:56:44,660 --> 01:56:44,910
of that original money

3278
01:56:46,840 --> 01:56:47,090
not even the city of Gallup

3279
01:56:48,260 --> 01:56:48,510
has the the capacity right now.

3280
01:56:50,140 --> 01:56:50,390
Sure thank you madam Chair.

3281
01:56:52,300 --> 01:56:52,550
so this it sounded like it was

3282
01:56:53,920 --> 01:56:54,170
an emergency grant. are there

3283
01:56:55,800 --> 01:56:56,050
funds available? Are you working

3284
01:56:57,580 --> 01:56:57,830
with the

3285
01:57:01,140 --> 01:57:01,390
allocations through Senate Bill3

3286
01:57:03,420 --> 01:57:03,670
or other potential funding

3287
01:57:10,680 --> 01:57:10,930
madam chair senator Charlie

3288
01:57:13,200 --> 01:57:13,450
we do have a housing program

3289
01:57:15,100 --> 01:57:15,350
manager and since then I've kind

3290
01:57:17,500 --> 01:57:17,750
of kicked that off because

3291
01:57:17,666 --> 01:57:17,916
housing's not my

3292
01:57:19,220 --> 01:57:19,470
my specialty but I know that

3293
01:57:23,640 --> 01:57:23,890
we did talk to workforce

3294
01:57:24,820 --> 01:57:25,070
Solutions about putting out a

3295
01:57:27,420 --> 01:57:27,670
grant instead of giving it to

3296
01:57:29,820 --> 01:57:30,070
a municipality and letting other

3297
01:57:32,640 --> 01:57:32,890
individuals apply so they can

3298
01:57:34,280 --> 01:57:34,530
assess their own costs and needs

3299
01:57:36,820 --> 01:57:37,070
associated with the warming

3300
01:57:38,500 --> 01:57:38,750
shelters and I know there was an

3301
01:57:40,900 --> 01:57:41,150
RFP but I'm not sure if anybody

3302
01:57:42,680 --> 01:57:42,930
applied for it locally

3303
01:57:45,200 --> 01:57:45,450
thank you madam chairir. I don't

3304
01:57:46,520 --> 01:57:46,770
know if you could do it less

3305
01:57:47,480 --> 01:57:47,730
expensive than175,000 dollars

3306
01:57:50,020 --> 01:57:50,270
quite honestly for that amount

3307
01:57:52,000 --> 01:57:52,250
of time that's about50,000

3308
01:57:53,620 --> 01:57:53,870
dollars a month which is for the

3309
01:57:55,460 --> 01:57:55,710
the amount of individuals that

3310
01:57:57,800 --> 01:57:58,050
you're interacting with. I

3311
01:57:59,960 --> 01:58:00,210
don't know if that's possible

3312
01:58:01,420 --> 01:58:01,670
but

3313
01:58:01,420 --> 01:58:01,670
thank you that that concludes my

3314
01:58:04,180 --> 01:58:04,430
my questions madam chairir I'll

3315
01:58:06,000 --> 01:58:06,250
just say this one last thing I

3316
01:58:07,200 --> 01:58:07,450
read an interesting article

3317
01:58:08,260 --> 01:58:08,510
recently about harm reduction

3318
01:58:10,620 --> 01:58:10,870
policies and how major

3319
01:58:15,220 --> 01:58:15,470
metropolitan areas are rolling

3320
01:58:16,740 --> 01:58:16,990
back their harm reduction

3321
01:58:17,700 --> 01:58:17,950
policies but also to include

3322
01:58:20,880 --> 01:58:21,130
mandatory treatment for the

3323
01:58:23,120 --> 01:58:23,370
reasons that were mentioned and

3324
01:58:24,800 --> 01:58:25,050
when mandatory treatment is

3325
01:58:26,960 --> 01:58:27,210
required of those individuals

3326
01:58:29,620 --> 01:58:29,870
who come into contact with the

3327
01:58:31,000 --> 01:58:31,250
system recidivism

3328
01:58:32,360 --> 01:58:32,610
decreases and so I think it's an

3329
01:58:34,860 --> 01:58:35,110
interesting intersection for

3330
01:58:37,340 --> 01:58:37,590
us to explore while we're making

3331
01:58:40,800 --> 01:58:41,050
decisions about treatment

3332
01:58:42,900 --> 01:58:43,150
facilities into the future.

3333
01:58:44,460 --> 01:58:44,710
thank you madam chairir.

3334
01:58:46,360 --> 01:58:46,610
and I would like to mention that

3335
01:58:47,820 --> 01:58:48,070
these guys actually do the

3336
01:58:49,340 --> 01:58:49,590
workforce development when they

3337
01:58:51,380 --> 01:58:51,630
do the intake right when the

3338
01:58:52,880 --> 01:58:53,130
people are in the program like

3339
01:58:53,720 --> 01:58:53,970
as soon as they can handle it

3340
01:58:55,680 --> 01:58:55,930
and get them going so it's not

3341
01:58:57,560 --> 01:58:57,810
till after they

3342
01:59:00,371 --> 01:59:00,621
ter ing

3343
01:59:04,120 --> 01:59:04,370
p re s ent ative Abeda, thank

right into my questions

3348
01:59:10,380 --> 01:59:10,630
beautifully thank you in regards

3349
01:59:12,640 --> 01:59:12,890
to the mandatory treatment for

3350
01:59:14,160 --> 01:59:14,410
both NCI or excuse me the

3351
01:59:16,580 --> 01:59:16,830
nonmandatory treatment for NCI

3352
01:59:18,240 --> 01:59:18,490
are you keeping any

3353
01:59:20,260 --> 01:59:20,510
information about tribal court

3354
01:59:22,600 --> 01:59:22,850
versus non tribal court?

3355
01:59:26,890 --> 01:59:27,140
madam chair umre representative

3356
01:59:31,270 --> 01:59:31,520
Abeda we just keep the

3357
01:59:32,030 --> 01:59:32,280
commitment where they're

3358
01:59:32,990 --> 01:59:33,240
committed from so only a law

3359
01:59:35,110 --> 01:59:35,360
enforcement officer and a

3360
01:59:36,370 --> 01:59:36,620
medical provider can commit him

3361
01:59:38,370 --> 01:59:38,620
into NCI and we do have that

3362
01:59:40,610 --> 01:59:40,860
data. Great OK. where are you

3363
01:59:42,970 --> 01:59:43,220
seeing more of the commitments

3364
01:59:44,830 --> 01:59:45,080
coming from

3365
01:59:47,210 --> 01:59:47,460
umgpd I think it's 95% are

3366
01:59:49,410 --> 01:59:49,660
coming from Galluplice

3367
01:59:55,930 --> 01:59:56,180
I can get you that exact

3368
01:59:57,310 --> 01:59:57,560
breakdown

3369
02:00:00,000 --> 02:00:00,250
OK thank you madam chair thank

3370
02:00:00,760 --> 02:00:01,010
you presenters. The reason

3371
02:00:02,680 --> 02:00:02,930
why I ask is I agree with

3372
02:00:04,260 --> 02:00:04,510
Senator Charlie in the article

3373
02:00:05,500 --> 02:00:05,750
written that mandatory treatment

3374
02:00:06,980 --> 02:00:07,230
does have an impact and it does

3375
02:00:08,720 --> 02:00:08,970
help. but I wanted to see if

3376
02:00:11,220 --> 02:00:11,470
that was if we were seeing

3377
02:00:13,420 --> 02:00:13,670
mandatory treatment commitments

3378
02:00:15,800 --> 02:00:16,050
from tribal courts as well

3379
02:00:17,920 --> 02:00:18,170
because for my experience that

3380
02:00:21,520 --> 02:00:21,770
NCI is one of the only local

3381
02:00:23,200 --> 02:00:23,450
places that they can

3382
02:00:30,740 --> 02:00:30,990
do not go to NCI then they're

3383
02:00:33,300 --> 02:00:33,550
sent out of state they're sent

3384
02:00:34,820 --> 02:00:35,070
to facilities that are much

3385
02:00:36,220 --> 02:00:36,470
further

3386
02:00:39,140 --> 02:00:39,390
u ll recovery because the

3387
02:00:42,300 --> 02:00:42,550
curriculum's either not

3388
02:00:42,740 --> 02:00:42,990
culturally responsive to them or

3389
02:00:45,900 --> 02:00:46,150
just the distance alone and

3390
02:00:47,920 --> 02:00:48,170
then coming back into the same

3391
02:00:49,480 --> 02:00:49,730
environment that coping

3392
02:00:50,840 --> 02:00:51,090
mechanisms are just not there.

3393
02:00:52,600 --> 02:00:52,850
So I want I would love to see

3394
02:00:54,280 --> 02:00:54,530
those two issues because my I

3395
02:00:57,080 --> 02:00:57,330
am moving towards more

3396
02:00:59,920 --> 02:01:00,170
collaboration with courts and

3397
02:01:03,780 --> 02:01:04,030
also the law school about

3398
02:01:05,680 --> 02:01:05,930
addressing needs for our legal

3399
02:01:08,080 --> 02:01:08,330
desert in

3400
02:01:08,740 --> 02:01:08,990
this is Albuquerque west all the

3401
02:01:15,760 --> 02:01:16,010
the next question I had was

3402
02:01:17,680 --> 02:01:17,930
in the in the curriculum I know

3403
02:01:20,920 --> 02:01:21,170
you said that they go through a

3404
02:01:22,080 --> 02:01:22,330
program that they can finish. Do

3405
02:01:23,660 --> 02:01:23,910
you know if there's a life

3406
02:01:24,820 --> 02:01:25,070
skills component in that

3407
02:01:26,300 --> 02:01:26,550
curriculum and the life skills

3408
02:01:27,900 --> 02:01:28,150
component would be how to find a

3409
02:01:30,100 --> 02:01:30,350
home or building a resume job

3410
02:01:32,360 --> 02:01:32,610
application or having a support

3411
02:01:35,100 --> 02:01:35,350
for

3412
02:01:35,920 --> 02:01:36,170
relapse prevention is that part

3413
02:01:39,060 --> 02:01:39,310
of the curriculum

3414
02:01:42,600 --> 02:01:42,850
madam chairirpresentative Obea

3415
02:01:45,400 --> 02:01:45,650
we do have people come into

3416
02:01:46,960 --> 02:01:47,210
NCI and do groups from

3417
02:01:49,820 --> 02:01:50,070
umorkforce solutions that they

3418
02:01:51,320 --> 02:01:51,570
do provide the job

3419
02:01:54,360 --> 02:01:54,610
application a lot of these

3420
02:01:54,880 --> 02:01:55,130
people are just coming off of

3421
02:01:56,780 --> 02:01:57,030
having abAc of.20 so we have to

3422
02:02:00,420 --> 02:02:00,670
repeat those and and work slowly

3423
02:02:04,920 --> 02:02:05,170
with this population because a

3424
02:02:06,660 --> 02:02:06,910
lot of them have been unhoused

3425
02:02:08,160 --> 02:02:08,410
and unsheltered for a while

3426
02:02:11,520 --> 02:02:11,770
we've had

3427
02:02:12,080 --> 02:02:12,330
in the independent living we've

3428
02:02:13,940 --> 02:02:14,190
had success with working with

3429
02:02:15,900 --> 02:02:16,150
them to get jobs and then

3430
02:02:17,840 --> 02:02:18,090
providing the bikes to get to

3431
02:02:20,040 --> 02:02:20,290
employment it takes some time

3432
02:02:23,380 --> 02:02:23,630
to get him into a routine

3433
02:02:25,100 --> 02:02:25,350
because we do give them chores

3434
02:02:26,820 --> 02:02:27,070
we kind of have like a house

3435
02:02:28,280 --> 02:02:28,530
manager within that shelter and

3436
02:02:29,960 --> 02:02:30,210
they all take turns it's it's

3437
02:02:32,700 --> 02:02:32,950
been really nice to see and

3438
02:02:34,100 --> 02:02:34,350
we're looking at implementing a

3439
02:02:36,280 --> 02:02:36,530
a contingency management program

3440
02:02:38,300 --> 02:02:38,550
where we increase the rewards

3441
02:02:40,560 --> 02:02:40,810
for the positive behavior

3442
02:02:42,600 --> 02:02:42,850
so we don't have that

3443
02:02:44,580 --> 02:02:44,830
necessarily

3444
02:02:45,200 --> 02:02:45,450
curriculum of life skills but we

3445
02:02:49,020 --> 02:02:49,270
have them work with a peer

3446
02:02:50,060 --> 02:02:50,310
support to guide them through a

3447
02:02:51,560 --> 02:02:51,810
lot of this.

3448
02:02:53,340 --> 02:02:53,590
thank you madam chair thank you

3449
02:02:55,420 --> 02:02:55,670
my last question is about

3450
02:02:57,340 --> 02:02:57,590
family support I've been on

3451
02:02:59,760 --> 02:03:00,010
the side of family where you are

3452
02:03:02,560 --> 02:03:02,810
helpless, hopeless about how you

3453
02:03:05,200 --> 02:03:05,450
can support your loved one. a

3454
02:03:07,280 --> 02:03:07,530
lot of times we've heard it on

3455
02:03:08,780 --> 02:03:09,030
this committee that when you

3456
02:03:09,820 --> 02:03:10,070
come into gallup you see our

3457
02:03:12,040 --> 02:03:12,290
relatives on the streets you see

3458
02:03:13,740 --> 02:03:13,990
them in certain areas you can't

3459
02:03:15,240 --> 02:03:15,490
help but wonder where is their

3460
02:03:16,320 --> 02:03:16,570
family

3461
02:03:19,120 --> 02:03:19,370
but is there a service or is

3462
02:03:20,880 --> 02:03:21,130
there a resource is there a

3463
02:03:22,180 --> 02:03:22,430
hotline? what do we have for

3464
02:03:23,640 --> 02:03:23,890
families and I ask this too

3465
02:03:25,100 --> 02:03:25,350
because so often even in my

3466
02:03:27,620 --> 02:03:27,870
home community when I ask

3467
02:03:29,380 --> 02:03:29,630
students or kids from the

3468
02:03:31,320 --> 02:03:31,570
neighborhood, you know where's

3469
02:03:32,160 --> 02:03:32,410
your mom? how's your mom? how's

3470
02:03:33,480 --> 02:03:33,730
your dad? how's your uncle

3471
02:03:35,280 --> 02:03:35,530
they haven't been home they're

3472
02:03:36,580 --> 02:03:36,830
on the streets and so the

3473
02:03:38,600 --> 02:03:38,850
kids worry just as much for

3474
02:03:40,080 --> 02:03:40,330
their relatives that are out

3475
02:03:41,280 --> 02:03:41,530
there grandma's grandpa's

3476
02:03:43,600 --> 02:03:43,850
worry about their children their

3477
02:03:45,540 --> 02:03:45,790
nephews their nieces their

3478
02:03:46,740 --> 02:03:46,990
grandchildren who are out there.

3479
02:03:48,340 --> 02:03:48,590
do we have a resource set up to

3480
02:03:49,980 --> 02:03:50,230
help families who are going

3481
02:03:51,840 --> 02:03:52,090
through this and if if not what

3482
02:03:53,380 --> 02:03:53,630
are your thoughts on that?

3483
02:03:55,900 --> 02:03:56,150
madam chairirpresentative Abeda,

3484
02:03:58,340 --> 02:03:58,590
that is a huge need in our

3485
02:03:59,760 --> 02:04:00,010
community we do offer them the

3486
02:04:02,320 --> 02:04:02,570
right to call and connect with

3487
02:04:04,060 --> 02:04:04,310
their family member if that's

3488
02:04:05,520 --> 02:04:05,770
what they choose and we are

3489
02:04:07,480 --> 02:04:07,730
willing to do counseling

3490
02:04:08,680 --> 02:04:08,930
sessions with the family we just

3491
02:04:10,760 --> 02:04:11,010
haven't had any one take us up

3492
02:04:13,040 --> 02:04:13,290
on that and probably a couple of

3493
02:04:14,780 --> 02:04:15,030
years

3494
02:04:15,800 --> 02:04:16,050
but it is well needed

3495
02:04:21,393 --> 02:04:21,643
OK thank you that's madam chair

3496
02:04:22,340 --> 02:04:22,590
and Councilor Bata one of the

3497
02:04:22,640 --> 02:04:22,890
problems we do have to in gallup

3498
02:04:24,260 --> 02:04:24,510
we have mothers grandmothers

3499
02:04:25,420 --> 02:04:25,670
coming

3500
02:04:25,760 --> 02:04:26,010
to visiting me as the mayor and

3501
02:04:27,720 --> 02:04:27,970
say my 12 year old

3502
02:04:28,940 --> 02:04:29,190
is on cannabis

3503
02:04:31,720 --> 02:04:31,970
and we can't we don't know what

3504
02:04:33,040 --> 02:04:33,290
to do and that's one of the

3505
02:04:34,500 --> 02:04:34,750
problems we need to start

3506
02:04:35,140 --> 02:04:35,390
looking into is those gateway

3507
02:04:36,820 --> 02:04:37,070
drugs I don't know if they call

3508
02:04:38,040 --> 02:04:38,290
it a gateway drug but when these

3509
02:04:39,660 --> 02:04:39,910
young kids10,111el years old are

3510
02:04:41,420 --> 02:04:41,670
doing our vaping cannabis you

3511
02:04:42,800 --> 02:04:43,050
can't tell it you it's it's not

3512
02:04:44,460 --> 02:04:44,710
visible and we're gonna have to

3513
02:04:46,440 --> 02:04:46,690
start addressing that really

3514
02:04:47,600 --> 02:04:47,850
soon because I think that's

3515
02:04:49,560 --> 02:04:49,810
the gateway that's starting the

3516
02:04:50,460 --> 02:04:50,710
problems

3517
02:04:55,692 --> 02:04:55,942
OK

3518
02:04:57,220 --> 02:04:57,470
we know that and we thank you

3519
02:04:59,420 --> 02:04:59,670
very much

3520
02:05:01,500 --> 02:05:01,750
the place I visited was the yeah

3521
02:05:04,960 --> 02:05:05,210
this condehohoienter in Phoenix,

3522
02:05:06,280 --> 02:05:06,530
Arizona

3523
02:05:07,360 --> 02:05:07,610
and everything you're talking

3524
02:05:08,960 --> 02:05:09,210
about all these

3525
02:05:11,460 --> 02:05:11,710
I mean you needing somebody to

3526
02:05:12,680 --> 02:05:12,930
do this you're talking about the

3527
02:05:13,720 --> 02:05:13,970
curriculum the intake they

3528
02:05:16,100 --> 02:05:16,350
handle all of it closed loop

3529
02:05:17,520 --> 02:05:17,770
system with resources and so

3530
02:05:19,960 --> 02:05:20,210
they have a better idea of what

3531
02:05:21,540 --> 02:05:21,790
we're spending on on it in

3532
02:05:24,200 --> 02:05:24,450
that whole loop so I'm very very

3533
02:05:26,540 --> 02:05:26,790
excited to to introduce them to

3534
02:05:29,280 --> 02:05:29,530
you and get them going here in

3535
02:05:31,340 --> 02:05:31,590
New Mexico just to build the

3536
02:05:33,460 --> 02:05:33,710
foundation that is very it

3537
02:05:36,440 --> 02:05:36,690
just really blew my mind how

3538
02:05:38,020 --> 02:05:38,270
much they really listened to the

3539
02:05:40,220 --> 02:05:40,470
community of the

3540
02:05:41,280 --> 02:05:41,530
people that were coming in and

3541
02:05:42,880 --> 02:05:43,130
the barriers that were there I

3542
02:05:44,660 --> 02:05:44,910
understand we still have a

3543
02:05:45,520 --> 02:05:45,770
barrier with transportation of

3544
02:05:47,700 --> 02:05:47,950
getting them there to the

3545
02:05:49,540 --> 02:05:49,790
treatment center especially when

3546
02:05:50,740 --> 02:05:50,990
you talk about tribal court

3547
02:05:52,660 --> 02:05:52,910
so we're talking about hubs

3548
02:05:53,920 --> 02:05:54,170
within the Navajo nation where

3549
02:05:56,240 --> 02:05:56,490
we're because we see this with

3550
02:05:58,280 --> 02:05:58,530
the MMIP is that they say I'm

3551
02:06:00,200 --> 02:06:00,450
gonna go get treatment they

3552
02:06:01,280 --> 02:06:01,530
leave here

3553
02:06:02,200 --> 02:06:02,450
then they don't make it there

3554
02:06:04,060 --> 02:06:04,310
so like we need you to take

3555
02:06:05,180 --> 02:06:05,430
place for them to go see well

3556
02:06:07,000 --> 02:06:07,250
and want treatment get them to a

3557
02:06:08,480 --> 02:06:08,730
safe place here maybe the

3558
02:06:09,660 --> 02:06:09,910
chapter and then actually have

3559
02:06:11,360 --> 02:06:11,610
that transportation safely down

3560
02:06:13,400 --> 02:06:13,650
there so we do know where where

3561
02:06:15,220 --> 02:06:15,470
that they did get there and

3562
02:06:16,880 --> 02:06:17,130
handling the intake really

3563
02:06:18,200 --> 02:06:18,450
knowing caseworkers are there

3564
02:06:19,860 --> 02:06:20,110
all under one roof. it is just

3565
02:06:22,040 --> 02:06:22,290
very

3566
02:06:22,740 --> 02:06:22,990
they're doing well and hoping

3567
02:06:25,300 --> 02:06:25,550
we're really getting ready to do

3568
02:06:27,320 --> 02:06:27,570
something here in Albuquerque

3569
02:06:28,180 --> 02:06:28,430
very quickly as they have talked

3570
02:06:29,740 --> 02:06:29,990
to Albuquerque already so very

3571
02:06:31,920 --> 02:06:32,170
been excited to have bring them

3572
02:06:34,020 --> 02:06:34,270
to see talk to you ma'am where

3573
02:06:35,720 --> 02:06:35,970
is it located in phoenix? It is

3574
02:06:38,480 --> 02:06:38,730
I don't know. I went to probably

3575
02:06:41,480 --> 02:06:41,730
6 different facilities within a

3576
02:06:43,660 --> 02:06:43,910
day and a half so there's more

3577
02:06:45,020 --> 02:06:45,270
than one they had the veterans

3578
02:06:47,320 --> 02:06:47,570
outreach and then they had

3579
02:06:50,040 --> 02:06:50,290
housing they had 200 units for

3580
02:06:51,660 --> 02:06:51,910
veterans down there in which

3581
02:06:53,940 --> 02:06:54,190
they I was just really blown

3582
02:06:55,380 --> 02:06:55,630
away about how many units they

3583
02:06:56,640 --> 02:06:56,890
have and even getting them

3584
02:06:58,780 --> 02:06:59,030
through the 9ty day that they

3585
02:07:00,260 --> 02:07:00,510
actually don't tell the person

3586
02:07:02,680 --> 02:07:02,930
well we only can fund you for 60

3587
02:07:04,460 --> 02:07:04,710
days or you're only here for30.

3588
02:07:05,980 --> 02:07:06,230
They actually tried to make sure

3589
02:07:07,340 --> 02:07:07,590
they're all the way for the

3590
02:07:08,265 --> 02:07:08,515
night0 whatever's

3591
02:07:10,260 --> 02:07:10,510
cut by medicaid or whatever

3592
02:07:12,860 --> 02:07:13,110
nation takes care of the rest so

3593
02:07:14,880 --> 02:07:15,130
I'm just really even the

3594
02:07:17,880 --> 02:07:18,130
court ordered they have that

3595
02:07:19,480 --> 02:07:19,730
whole judicial part too where

3596
02:07:20,980 --> 02:07:21,230
they probation and

3597
02:07:24,280 --> 02:07:24,530
reinvented or redid these

3598
02:07:27,920 --> 02:07:28,170
buildings old hospitals senior

3599
02:07:30,120 --> 02:07:30,370
centers and repurposed them and

3600
02:07:32,480 --> 02:07:32,730
it really meant the needs of the

3601
02:07:33,880 --> 02:07:34,130
area and even with our Navajo

3602
02:07:36,280 --> 02:07:36,530
facility that'snavajo

3603
02:07:39,700 --> 02:07:39,950
Nationowned has anavajo nation

3604
02:07:39,960 --> 02:07:40,210
flag outside down there is

3605
02:07:41,900 --> 02:07:42,150
pretty new and even with the

3606
02:07:44,420 --> 02:07:44,670
hydration

3607
02:07:47,960 --> 02:07:48,210
and all right there in that area

3608
02:07:52,860 --> 02:07:53,110
and they provide transportation

3609
02:07:54,460 --> 02:07:54,710
to the doctors and all that for

3610
02:07:56,120 --> 02:07:56,370
the people that are in there so

3611
02:08:00,740 --> 02:08:00,990
keep my fingers crossed that we

3612
02:08:01,980 --> 02:08:02,230
get it going here you know yes

3613
02:08:05,680 --> 02:08:05,930
madam chair'd like to go back to

3614
02:08:06,763 --> 02:08:07,013
uhpresentative Betas

3615
02:08:09,860 --> 02:08:10,110
on on the mandatory seeing very

3616
02:08:11,680 --> 02:08:11,930
few of our judges

3617
02:08:12,580 --> 02:08:12,830
require mandatory treatment

3618
02:08:14,860 --> 02:08:15,110
unless they're dealing

3619
02:08:18,180 --> 02:08:18,430
unless they're dealers

3620
02:08:20,360 --> 02:08:20,610
if they're addicted and they're

3621
02:08:22,140 --> 02:08:22,390
dealing drugs and they're being

3622
02:08:23,660 --> 02:08:23,910
sentenced to prison or something

3623
02:08:25,520 --> 02:08:25,770
like that then they're getting

3624
02:08:26,900 --> 02:08:27,150
some rehab within that but just

3625
02:08:29,380 --> 02:08:29,630
our common users in an

3626
02:08:33,360 --> 02:08:33,610
example we we had a a person

3627
02:08:34,000 --> 02:08:34,250
down on Cole Street

3628
02:08:34,840 --> 02:08:35,090
heavily induced with drugs throw

3629
02:08:37,800 --> 02:08:38,050
a rock through a local business

3630
02:08:38,920 --> 02:08:39,170
window was caught, goes through

3631
02:08:41,720 --> 02:08:41,970
the court and and a week later

3632
02:08:44,100 --> 02:08:44,350
I'm I'm getting a call from here

3633
02:08:45,620 --> 02:08:45,870
because he's in the back parking

3634
02:08:47,560 --> 02:08:47,810
lot

3635
02:08:47,880 --> 02:08:48,130
out of his mind

3636
02:08:52,672 --> 02:08:52,922
nonresponsive they're

3637
02:08:53,060 --> 02:08:53,310
they're they're already back on

3638
02:08:54,060 --> 02:08:54,310
the street so so I don't see our

3639
02:08:55,520 --> 02:08:55,770
courts here for people who are

3640
02:08:58,060 --> 02:08:58,310
heavily are are former DA was

3641
02:09:02,440 --> 02:09:02,690
they're not competent to stand

3642
02:09:03,940 --> 02:09:04,190
trial

3643
02:09:06,240 --> 02:09:06,490
so they're not even gonna press

3644
02:09:08,040 --> 02:09:08,290
charges and get to the judge

3645
02:09:10,420 --> 02:09:10,670
so so that is what we're seeing

3646
02:09:13,800 --> 02:09:14,050
the noncompetency and if

3647
02:09:14,340 --> 02:09:14,590
you're not competent you don't

3648
02:09:15,320 --> 02:09:15,570
go to court you don't go to

3649
02:09:16,400 --> 02:09:16,650
court you don't get committed

3650
02:09:18,720 --> 02:09:18,970
we can refer and and try to

3651
02:09:21,140 --> 02:09:21,390
get them to these these programs

3652
02:09:23,740 --> 02:09:23,990
but then again if we're

3653
02:09:24,940 --> 02:09:25,190
referring and we actually get

3654
02:09:26,400 --> 02:09:26,650
them in the door have enough

3655
02:09:27,320 --> 02:09:27,570
trust and get them in the door

3656
02:09:29,160 --> 02:09:29,410
they're not staying

3657
02:09:31,000 --> 02:09:31,250
they they might get through that

3658
02:09:32,380 --> 02:09:32,630
initial detox

3659
02:09:33,260 --> 02:09:33,510
and then I'm leaving there

3660
02:09:36,360 --> 02:09:36,610
there's and there's nothing to

3661
02:09:37,500 --> 02:09:37,750
stop them legally and and that's

3662
02:09:39,540 --> 02:09:39,790
what we're running into. if

3663
02:09:40,820 --> 02:09:41,070
I'm not mistaken arizona

3664
02:09:41,900 --> 02:09:42,150
has a mandatory commitment

3665
02:09:44,900 --> 02:09:45,150
I know the governor tried doing

3666
02:09:46,320 --> 02:09:46,570
that in a special session a

3667
02:09:48,160 --> 02:09:48,410
couple years ago I believe. She

3668
02:09:49,700 --> 02:09:49,950
tried doing that here in New

3669
02:09:51,460 --> 02:09:51,710
Mexico and Gallllup would be

3670
02:09:53,720 --> 02:09:53,970
very favorable of that because

3671
02:09:55,360 --> 02:09:55,610
our law enforcement know the

3672
02:09:57,780 --> 02:09:58,030
repeat offenders

3673
02:09:59,200 --> 02:09:59,450
they're at the point now they're

3674
02:10:00,720 --> 02:10:00,970
throwing their hands up of why

3675
02:10:02,240 --> 02:10:02,490
am I even picking him up

3676
02:10:04,280 --> 02:10:04,530
they're frustrated you know we

3677
02:10:06,220 --> 02:10:06,470
we we see it they're going to

3678
02:10:08,620 --> 02:10:08,870
be right back on the street. Our

3679
02:10:10,020 --> 02:10:10,270
businesses are our citizens are

3680
02:10:12,660 --> 02:10:12,910
getting frustrated and that goes

3681
02:10:14,220 --> 02:10:14,470
back to Representative Garcia's

3682
02:10:15,980 --> 02:10:16,230
now the stereotype of we're

3683
02:10:18,220 --> 02:10:18,470
throwing our hands up and we now

3684
02:10:20,380 --> 02:10:20,630
we're reacting against the

3685
02:10:21,700 --> 02:10:21,950
person

3686
02:10:22,180 --> 02:10:22,430
versus against the disability.

3687
02:10:25,460 --> 02:10:25,710
so if we can do some mandatory

3688
02:10:27,540 --> 02:10:27,790
type thing where we can get them

3689
02:10:28,980 --> 02:10:29,230
in the door

3690
02:10:29,480 --> 02:10:29,730
and we can start getting them

3691
02:10:32,300 --> 02:10:32,550
clean and and responsive and

3692
02:10:34,640 --> 02:10:34,890
competent to accept

3693
02:10:36,160 --> 02:10:36,410
the workforce the the the

3694
02:10:38,580 --> 02:10:38,830
counseling the

3695
02:10:39,860 --> 02:10:40,110
repairs with their family the

3696
02:10:42,960 --> 02:10:43,210
housing all that whole circle

3697
02:10:46,800 --> 02:10:47,050
that's needed not one component

3698
02:10:48,260 --> 02:10:48,510
is going to cure anybody it's

3699
02:10:50,140 --> 02:10:50,390
got to be a full component and

3700
02:10:52,280 --> 02:10:52,530
and I'm speaking from not

3701
02:10:54,120 --> 02:10:54,370
experience but but from my son I

3702
02:10:57,580 --> 02:10:57,830
I I will say my my son went

3703
02:10:58,660 --> 02:10:58,910
through a heavy addiction and

3704
02:10:59,440 --> 02:10:59,690
and it took prison for him to

3705
02:11:02,240 --> 02:11:02,490
get clean and that was a

3706
02:11:03,760 --> 02:11:04,010
mandatory commitment because it

3707
02:11:05,400 --> 02:11:05,650
was prison. It it wasn't I

3708
02:11:07,960 --> 02:11:08,210
want to be there

3709
02:11:08,540 --> 02:11:08,790
and and I'm happy to say two

3710
02:11:11,180 --> 02:11:11,430
years

3711
02:11:11,500 --> 02:11:11,750
that he's very involved with the

3712
02:11:15,620 --> 02:11:15,870
community now and clean.

3713
02:11:17,100 --> 02:11:17,350
and and a product productive

3714
02:11:18,620 --> 02:11:18,870
citizen that's what we're

3715
02:11:20,200 --> 02:11:20,450
looking for

3716
02:11:20,720 --> 02:11:20,970
but but it has to be a mandatory

3717
02:11:23,180 --> 02:11:23,430
and and I would rather see it

3718
02:11:24,640 --> 02:11:24,890
mandatory to a treatment than

3719
02:11:26,760 --> 02:11:27,010
mandatory to a prison.

3720
02:11:27,940 --> 02:11:28,190
to be honest

3721
02:11:29,460 --> 02:11:29,710
because because I will be honest

3722
02:11:31,440 --> 02:11:31,690
with you there too.

3723
02:11:32,700 --> 02:11:32,950
Dad it was easier for me to get

3724
02:11:34,180 --> 02:11:34,430
drugs in prison than it was on

3725
02:11:36,060 --> 02:11:36,310
the streets

3726
02:11:37,060 --> 02:11:37,310
I will be blunt with that

3727
02:11:39,520 --> 02:11:39,770
I think that's the other thing

3728
02:11:40,920 --> 02:11:41,170
too with arizona is they have

3729
02:11:48,200 --> 02:11:48,450
there were some questions about

3730
02:11:49,700 --> 02:11:49,950
the economic development of the

3731
02:11:51,480 --> 02:11:51,730
area of the industrial park

3732
02:11:52,880 --> 02:11:53,130
because before I got here it is

3733
02:11:55,620 --> 02:11:55,870
a whole conundrum with data

3734
02:11:58,260 --> 02:11:58,510
centers

3735
02:12:01,780 --> 02:12:02,030
but you get it very briefly

3736
02:12:03,760 --> 02:12:04,010
madam chair we'd be happy to

3737
02:12:07,140 --> 02:12:07,390
we we did have a brief

3738
02:12:08,160 --> 02:12:08,410
interest from a data center

3739
02:12:10,320 --> 02:12:10,570
coming in. there there was

3740
02:12:15,800 --> 02:12:16,050
some discussions at this

3741
02:12:16,160 --> 02:12:16,410
point they're not on the table.

3742
02:12:17,400 --> 02:12:17,650
We we do have a manufacturing

3743
02:12:19,920 --> 02:12:20,170
facility wanting to come in that

3744
02:12:21,780 --> 02:12:22,030
is going to manufacture solar

3745
02:12:23,160 --> 02:12:23,410
panels

3746
02:12:25,100 --> 02:12:25,350
unfortunately he he talked in

3747
02:12:27,000 --> 02:12:27,250
his in his

3748
02:12:27,800 --> 02:12:28,050
portfolio he called it a data

3749
02:12:31,080 --> 02:12:31,330
center, but I would like to call

3750
02:12:33,020 --> 02:12:33,270
it an operating center it it

3751
02:12:35,100 --> 02:12:35,350
it's it's it's the technological

3752
02:12:36,800 --> 02:12:37,050
portion to control his machines

3753
02:12:38,880 --> 02:12:39,130
we're not talking oracle Project

3754
02:12:41,160 --> 02:12:41,410
Jupiter we're not talking big

3755
02:12:43,180 --> 02:12:43,430
data center where we're housing

3756
02:12:44,400 --> 02:12:44,650
and farming out stuff Ai we're

3757
02:12:47,100 --> 02:12:47,350
we're talking

3758
02:12:47,580 --> 02:12:47,830
to compete with the Chinese

3759
02:12:50,840 --> 02:12:51,090
we're we're going to have to

3760
02:12:51,940 --> 02:12:52,190
have some machines doing some of

3761
02:12:54,740 --> 02:12:54,990
this intensive work. Well this

3762
02:12:56,720 --> 02:12:56,970
is an operation center to run

3763
02:12:58,280 --> 02:12:58,530
that so it's a data center to

3764
02:13:00,140 --> 02:13:00,390
run his machines so we we have a

3765
02:13:03,100 --> 02:13:03,350
big interest in a production

3766
02:13:05,520 --> 02:13:05,770
facility of solar panels they

3767
02:13:08,380 --> 02:13:08,630
want to go into making the glass

3768
02:13:10,160 --> 02:13:10,410
making all they're heavily

3769
02:13:12,280 --> 02:13:12,530
involved in a right now on

3770
02:13:14,960 --> 02:13:15,210
providing solar and

3771
02:13:16,920 --> 02:13:17,170
hydroelectric

3772
02:13:18,280 --> 02:13:18,530
to a company there to a

3773
02:13:20,080 --> 02:13:20,330
country not a company a country

3774
02:13:21,420 --> 02:13:21,670
there and they want to produce

3775
02:13:22,800 --> 02:13:23,050
them here they are going to need

3776
02:13:24,620 --> 02:13:24,870
a lot of land to put solar

3777
02:13:26,300 --> 02:13:26,550
panels up because we cannot

3778
02:13:27,620 --> 02:13:27,870
supply them the electricity

3779
02:13:30,060 --> 02:13:30,310
we just don't have enough we

3780
02:13:31,360 --> 02:13:31,610
can't even buy enough into

3781
02:13:32,440 --> 02:13:32,690
gallup to provide so they're

3782
02:13:34,280 --> 02:13:34,530
gonna have to use a lot of the

3783
02:13:35,060 --> 02:13:35,310
land for solar. there is a

3784
02:13:36,920 --> 02:13:37,170
stereotype on water we have

3785
02:13:39,160 --> 02:13:39,410
no agreements right now with

3786
02:13:40,360 --> 02:13:40,610
them for water. there isn't

3787
02:13:41,420 --> 02:13:41,670
interest to buy our treated

3788
02:13:43,260 --> 02:13:43,510
affluent water

3789
02:13:44,680 --> 02:13:44,930
which we have an abundance of

3790
02:13:46,980 --> 02:13:47,230
because right now we put it in

3791
02:13:48,580 --> 02:13:48,830
the Perco and it goes down

3792
02:13:50,160 --> 02:13:50,410
river. it it's going into

3793
02:13:52,100 --> 02:13:52,350
arizona so we would rather use

3794
02:13:54,320 --> 02:13:54,570
that to a true purpose of of

3795
02:13:56,960 --> 02:13:57,210
treating it and the logistics is

3796
02:14:00,420 --> 02:14:00,670
there. they're going into an old

3797
02:14:01,940 --> 02:14:02,190
car strip mine that used

3798
02:14:04,740 --> 02:14:04,990
affluent water for dust control

3799
02:14:06,240 --> 02:14:06,490
so that the the mechanisms

3800
02:14:08,820 --> 02:14:09,070
they'll have to replace the

3801
02:14:09,760 --> 02:14:10,010
pumps because they're old. The

3802
02:14:11,240 --> 02:14:11,490
pumps the lines are there to get

3803
02:14:12,720 --> 02:14:12,970
them the affluent water from our

3804
02:14:14,040 --> 02:14:14,290
plant we

3805
02:14:14,960 --> 02:14:15,210
have well over a million gallons

3806
02:14:16,240 --> 02:14:16,490
a day that we can supply them

3807
02:14:18,720 --> 02:14:18,970
sell them

3808
02:14:19,360 --> 02:14:19,610
and and it was pledged to other

3809
02:14:22,300 --> 02:14:22,550
companies in the past

3810
02:14:24,360 --> 02:14:24,610
we felt we don't want to pledge

3811
02:14:26,060 --> 02:14:26,310
it that way we would prefer him

3812
02:14:27,660 --> 02:14:27,910
to go through the state leadA

3813
02:14:28,700 --> 02:14:28,950
process

3814
02:14:29,080 --> 02:14:29,330
through the local leader process

3815
02:14:31,180 --> 02:14:31,430
to where if we're giving them a

3816
02:14:32,300 --> 02:14:32,550
discount on that water it's

3817
02:14:33,940 --> 02:14:34,190
through a process not a

3818
02:14:35,300 --> 02:14:35,550
handshake deal of this is what

3819
02:14:37,020 --> 02:14:37,270
you promised us but more of an

3820
02:14:38,620 --> 02:14:38,870
economic deal

3821
02:14:39,720 --> 02:14:39,970
this is to bring you in so we're

3822
02:14:41,960 --> 02:14:42,210
if we're talking any type of

3823
02:14:42,463 --> 02:14:42,713
freshwater

3824
02:14:45,000 --> 02:14:45,250
it is for the restrooms for

3825
02:14:47,420 --> 02:14:47,670
housing for kitchenettes

3826
02:14:49,900 --> 02:14:50,150
just like we would supply to

3827
02:14:51,280 --> 02:14:51,530
Walmart or any other business

3828
02:14:52,500 --> 02:14:52,750
coming in water to operate for

3829
02:14:56,000 --> 02:14:56,250
the public, not for the

3830
02:14:57,720 --> 02:14:57,970
manufacturing. The only water we

3831
02:14:59,480 --> 02:14:59,730
will pledge and haven't yet is a

3832
02:15:02,380 --> 02:15:02,630
fluent water

3833
02:15:02,860 --> 02:15:03,110
for their manufacturing

3834
02:15:05,140 --> 02:15:05,390
thank you thank you for that

3835
02:15:06,520 --> 02:15:06,770
clarification because they think

3836
02:15:07,720 --> 02:15:07,970
there's a lot of companies in

3837
02:15:08,860 --> 02:15:09,110
that misconception too when they

3838
02:15:10,300 --> 02:15:10,550
say data center because that

3839
02:15:12,600 --> 02:15:12,850
reliance on someone else

3840
02:15:14,320 --> 02:15:14,570
housing your storage and all

3841
02:15:16,860 --> 02:15:17,110
that seems to be

3842
02:15:18,000 --> 02:15:18,250
it seems to be lower cost

3843
02:15:20,920 --> 02:15:21,170
especially if even with energy I

3844
02:15:22,760 --> 02:15:23,010
know some people on the

3845
02:15:24,400 --> 02:15:24,650
hazardous materials so we talked

3846
02:15:26,660 --> 02:15:26,910
about thes andRs the small

3847
02:15:27,040 --> 02:15:27,290
nuclear reactors and uranium and

3848
02:15:30,100 --> 02:15:30,350
energy

3849
02:15:31,100 --> 02:15:31,350
because as far as I know I

3850
02:15:32,940 --> 02:15:33,190
haven't had anybody kind of do

3851
02:15:34,700 --> 02:15:34,950
any restrictions on water yet or

3852
02:15:37,340 --> 02:15:37,590
do any restrictions on energy

3853
02:15:39,060 --> 02:15:39,310
and how much we but we're

3854
02:15:41,280 --> 02:15:41,530
consuming we're consuming a

3855
02:15:43,120 --> 02:15:43,370
great amounts and it is it's

3856
02:15:46,980 --> 02:15:47,230
there it's reality and some

3857
02:15:48,880 --> 02:15:49,130
people are really fighting

3858
02:15:49,437 --> 02:15:49,687
against thinking we're just

3859
02:15:50,740 --> 02:15:50,990
gonna cut everything off by its

3860
02:15:51,720 --> 02:15:51,970
like there has to be some

3861
02:15:53,140 --> 02:15:53,390
compromise there because in

3862
02:15:54,960 --> 02:15:55,210
order to have economic

3863
02:15:56,800 --> 02:15:57,050
development there are some

3864
02:15:58,980 --> 02:15:59,230
things that are necessary for

3865
02:16:01,160 --> 02:16:01,410
some of these companies

3866
02:16:02,080 --> 02:16:02,330
especially when you talk about

3867
02:16:03,080 --> 02:16:03,330
trust and reliability and not

3868
02:16:05,120 --> 02:16:05,370
even waiting for somebody else

3869
02:16:06,820 --> 02:16:07,070
to do that for you relying on

3870
02:16:08,500 --> 02:16:08,750
some other entity to come in if

3871
02:16:10,160 --> 02:16:10,410
you can provide it all there. it

3872
02:16:12,040 --> 02:16:12,290
is more I think advantageous for

3873
02:16:14,280 --> 02:16:14,530
a company to come in but thank

3874
02:16:16,160 --> 02:16:16,410
you for that clarification madam

3875
02:16:17,980 --> 02:16:18,230
Jerem let you know we've been

3876
02:16:18,720 --> 02:16:18,970
upfront and honest with this

3877
02:16:19,980 --> 02:16:20,230
company. This is the only power

3878
02:16:21,640 --> 02:16:21,890
we can provide you.

3879
02:16:23,060 --> 02:16:23,310
this is all we can provide there

3880
02:16:24,880 --> 02:16:25,130
all the rest must come from

3881
02:16:26,040 --> 02:16:26,290
behind the meter and and that's

3882
02:16:27,840 --> 02:16:28,090
why they're looking at

3883
02:16:28,700 --> 02:16:28,950
purchasing more land for their

3884
02:16:30,020 --> 02:16:30,270
solar to produce and such and

3885
02:16:32,160 --> 02:16:32,410
and we've been very upfront with

3886
02:16:33,500 --> 02:16:33,750
them on water

3887
02:16:35,660 --> 02:16:35,910
you know they they were talking4

3888
02:16:36,920 --> 02:16:37,170
or ive phases and we can

3889
02:16:38,200 --> 02:16:38,450
probably get them enough

3890
02:16:38,920 --> 02:16:39,170
affluent water for two phases so

3891
02:16:40,840 --> 02:16:41,090
that's all they're looking at at

3892
02:16:41,940 --> 02:16:42,190
this point until they can find

3893
02:16:43,640 --> 02:16:43,890
other sources of water but we

3894
02:16:45,620 --> 02:16:45,870
are not pledging our Navajo

3895
02:16:47,120 --> 02:16:47,370
Gallup water supply project when

3896
02:16:48,740 --> 02:16:48,990
it comes in our our public

3897
02:16:51,640 --> 02:16:51,890
entity

3898
02:16:52,100 --> 02:16:52,350
come first

3899
02:16:55,140 --> 02:16:55,390
right now and then we've also

3900
02:16:57,040 --> 02:16:57,290
told them we have to withholdX

3901
02:16:59,380 --> 02:16:59,630
amount of affluent water because

3902
02:17:01,060 --> 02:17:01,310
we do use it to water our golf

3903
02:17:02,920 --> 02:17:03,170
course and you know we've taken

3904
02:17:05,000 --> 02:17:05,250
almost all of our parks

3905
02:17:06,320 --> 02:17:06,570
off of the watering system now.

3906
02:17:08,940 --> 02:17:09,190
thank you state government

3907
02:17:10,560 --> 02:17:10,810
you've given us the the

3908
02:17:11,680 --> 02:17:11,930
resources to turf almost all of

3909
02:17:14,880 --> 02:17:15,130
our parks were down to 2 parks

3910
02:17:16,260 --> 02:17:16,510
now that we're looking at the

3911
02:17:17,340 --> 02:17:17,590
future of getting rid of the

3912
02:17:18,460 --> 02:17:18,710
grass and going to turf and

3913
02:17:20,420 --> 02:17:20,670
we'll be100% artificial turf

3914
02:17:23,900 --> 02:17:24,150
with no watering in our parks so

3915
02:17:25,420 --> 02:17:25,670
we're we're working on that so

3916
02:17:27,140 --> 02:17:27,390
we've been upfront and honest

3917
02:17:28,620 --> 02:17:28,870
with this company and the public

3918
02:17:30,040 --> 02:17:30,290
that this is all we can supply

3919
02:17:32,440 --> 02:17:32,690
you and nothing you go above and

3920
02:17:34,780 --> 02:17:35,030
beyond while that's on you you

3921
02:17:35,760 --> 02:17:36,010
you you cannot

3922
02:17:37,160 --> 02:17:37,410
expand beyond what we can give

3923
02:17:38,620 --> 02:17:38,870
you

3924
02:17:39,420 --> 02:17:39,670
thank you it ain't hope with our

3925
02:17:41,440 --> 02:17:41,690

4029
02:29:02,580 --> 02:29:02,830
what I will call it it's a long

4030
02:29:04,480 --> 02:29:04,730
name and we've thought about

4031
02:29:06,420 --> 02:29:06,670
changing the name but since we

4032
02:29:08,440 --> 02:29:08,690
serve community we're keeping it

4033
02:29:10,840 --> 02:29:11,090
for now we are all of our

4034
02:29:14,020 --> 02:29:14,270
strategic direction is around

4035
02:29:17,060 --> 02:29:17,310
communities so our official

4036
02:29:18,660 --> 02:29:18,910
mission is to bridge access to

4037
02:29:21,660 --> 02:29:21,910
knowledge space technology

4038
02:29:24,160 --> 02:29:24,410
people and capital to

4039
02:29:26,480 --> 02:29:26,730
create stronger communities

4040
02:29:28,760 --> 02:29:29,010
resilient local economies and

4041
02:29:31,240 --> 02:29:31,490
pathways to prosperity we

4042
02:29:34,460 --> 02:29:34,710
activate life changing

4043
02:29:36,140 --> 02:29:36,390
opportunities with indigenous

4044
02:29:39,040 --> 02:29:39,290
people and other economically

4045
02:29:41,560 --> 02:29:41,810
distressed communities to build

4046
02:29:43,920 --> 02:29:44,170
community economic sovereignty

4047
02:29:47,320 --> 02:29:47,570
we've been around since 204, our

4048
02:29:51,040 --> 02:29:51,290
first investor was a local

4049
02:29:53,360 --> 02:29:53,610
pueblo we started as a non

4050
02:29:57,220 --> 02:29:57,470
p ro fi t but we also had a Vc

4051
02:30:00,000 --> 02:30:00,250
arm which is a fund we actually

4052
02:30:02,980 --> 02:30:03,230
ran two funds that were around

4053
02:30:06,520 --> 02:30:06,770
up until a year and a half ago

4054
02:30:10,020 --> 02:30:10,270
when we closed the fund so both

4055
02:30:12,520 --> 02:30:12,770
were successful and the idea

4056
02:30:15,860 --> 02:30:16,110
was that

4057
02:30:18,100 --> 02:30:18,350
it we wanted to find investment

4058
02:30:22,300 --> 02:30:22,550
ready businesses led by

4059
02:30:24,860 --> 02:30:25,110
indigenous people we couldn't

4060
02:30:27,040 --> 02:30:27,290
find them so we had to just

4061
02:30:29,800 --> 02:30:30,050
recalibrate a little bit and

4062
02:30:32,100 --> 02:30:32,350
really go to that group and

4063
02:30:34,400 --> 02:30:34,650
teach them how to do that and

4064
02:30:36,600 --> 02:30:36,850
get investment ready.

4065
02:30:41,700 --> 02:30:41,950
that is kind of where I come

4066
02:30:43,340 --> 02:30:43,590
into the picture. I was one of

4067
02:30:44,700 --> 02:30:44,950
those native entrepreneurs in

4068
02:30:46,260 --> 02:30:46,510
residence at the time I was a

4069
02:30:48,200 --> 02:30:48,450
high school teacher at the

4070
02:30:49,020 --> 02:30:49,270
Native American Community

4071
02:30:50,080 --> 02:30:50,330
academy and I was on my own path

4072
02:30:52,140 --> 02:30:52,390
to recovery right my dad died of

4073
02:30:54,560 --> 02:30:54,810
cirrhosis of the liver so

4074
02:30:56,497 --> 02:30:56,747
that's just something you know

4075
02:30:57,280 --> 02:30:57,530
this conversation that we had

4076
02:30:58,460 --> 02:30:58,710
previously really hit home you

4077
02:31:01,180 --> 02:31:01,430
know for me and what gave me

4078
02:31:01,700 --> 02:31:01,950
hope is entrepreneurship. you

4079
02:31:03,640 --> 02:31:03,890
know what gave me hope is being

4080
02:31:04,900 --> 02:31:05,150
in school and getting my degree

4081
02:31:07,600 --> 02:31:07,850
and that's when I got connected

4082
02:31:08,380 --> 02:31:08,630
to New Mexicounity capital we

4083
02:31:10,920 --> 02:31:11,170
see that there's

4084
02:31:11,560 --> 02:31:11,810
a lot of societal challenges but

4085
02:31:13,540 --> 02:31:13,790
we feel like we're a community

4086
02:31:14,820 --> 02:31:15,070
solution, right we know that

4087
02:31:16,900 --> 02:31:17,150
over 6% of New Mexico businesses

4088
02:31:18,760 --> 02:31:19,010
are native owned and we also

4089
02:31:20,760 --> 02:31:21,010
know that indigenous founders

4090
02:31:21,820 --> 02:31:22,070
receive less than0.5% of venture

4091
02:31:24,260 --> 02:31:24,510
capital and philanthropic

4092
02:31:25,840 --> 02:31:26,090
funding. so that's what our

4093
02:31:28,480 --> 02:31:28,730
that's why we're here that's why

4094
02:31:28,580 --> 02:31:28,830
we wanted to talk with you all

4095
02:31:29,740 --> 02:31:29,990
to just really start building

4096
02:31:31,560 --> 02:31:31,810
relations and kinship

4097
02:31:32,800 --> 02:31:33,050
connected so like Liz mentioned

4098
02:31:35,560 --> 02:31:35,810
we really activate life changing

4099
02:31:37,220 --> 02:31:37,470
opportunities and we wanted to

4100
02:31:38,680 --> 02:31:38,930
show you all some cases and

4101
02:31:39,940 --> 02:31:40,190
examples of how we've done that

4102
02:31:41,480 --> 02:31:41,730
in the past and I'm following

4103
02:31:43,980 --> 02:31:44,230
you all have a presentation of

4104
02:31:45,380 --> 02:31:45,630
our slide deck. So I'm going to

4105
02:31:47,080 --> 02:31:47,330
the deck that is entitled core

4106
02:31:50,720 --> 02:31:50,970
annualgras one of the

4107
02:31:51,480 --> 02:31:51,730
culturally grounded business

4108
02:31:53,120 --> 02:31:53,370
education workshops that we do

4109
02:31:55,260 --> 02:31:55,510

4110
02:31:56,440 --> 02:31:56,690
essentials so imagine right you

02:31:58,900 --> 02:31:59,150
all were talking about intake

4112
02:32:00,020 --> 02:32:00,270
and people needing support

4113
02:32:01,840 --> 02:32:02,090
what we do right away is we

4114
02:32:03,440 --> 02:32:03,690
offer a holistic support to

4115
02:32:04,960 --> 02:32:05,210
native entrepreneurs we take

4116
02:32:06,760 --> 02:32:07,010
in again what their needs are

4117
02:32:08,980 --> 02:32:09,230
what their challenges and right

4118
02:32:10,500 --> 02:32:10,750
away we give

4119
02:32:11,540 --> 02:32:11,790
them access to one on one

4120
02:32:12,800 --> 02:32:13,050
coaching and support. We give

4121
02:32:14,520 --> 02:32:14,770
them a digital wallet for their

4122
02:32:16,140 --> 02:32:16,390
online subscriptions to get aite

4123
02:32:18,460 --> 02:32:18,710
we also offer laptops we know

4124
02:32:20,880 --> 02:32:21,130
that resources and access to

4125
02:32:23,020 --> 02:32:23,270
technologies is a real barrier

4126
02:32:24,260 --> 02:32:24,510
so we've been over we've been

4127
02:32:24,720 --> 02:32:24,970
able to literally give out

4128
02:32:26,680 --> 02:32:26,930
thousands of laptops across

4129
02:32:28,060 --> 02:32:28,310
Mexico and then provide access

4130
02:32:30,600 --> 02:32:30,850
to actual cash resources so back

4131
02:32:33,380 --> 02:32:33,630
starting in 2017 when we started

4132
02:32:35,520 --> 02:32:35,770
our business marketing

4133
02:32:36,320 --> 02:32:36,570
essentials we offer everyone1200

4134
02:32:38,660 --> 02:32:38,910
dollars to be able to help

4135
02:32:40,420 --> 02:32:40,670
them with their marketing

4136
02:32:41,740 --> 02:32:41,990
during our business and

4137
02:32:42,680 --> 02:32:42,930
marketing essentials class

4138
02:32:44,640 --> 02:32:44,890
and before in our native

4139
02:32:46,180 --> 02:32:46,430
entrepreneur and residence

4140
02:32:47,020 --> 02:32:47,270
program we offered all of our

4141
02:32:50,680 --> 02:32:50,930
entrepreneurs15,000 dollars plus

4142
02:32:51,560 --> 02:32:51,810
six months of mentorship. That

4143
02:32:53,380 --> 02:32:53,630
was life changing for me. that's

4144
02:32:55,500 --> 02:32:55,750
what we talked about when we we

4145
02:32:55,640 --> 02:32:55,890
offer life changing

4146
02:32:56,860 --> 02:32:57,110
opportunities because that's how

4147
02:32:58,520 --> 02:32:58,770
I was able to become an

4148
02:32:59,560 --> 02:32:59,810
entrepreneur shift from my

4149
02:33:01,840 --> 02:33:02,090
full time job as a as a teacher

4150
02:33:03,820 --> 02:33:04,070
to also being an entrepreneur

4151
02:33:05,260 --> 02:33:05,510
and own a storefront in downtown

4152
02:33:07,520 --> 02:33:07,770
Albuquerque. So these are the

4153
02:33:09,040 --> 02:33:09,290
types of things that we do

4154
02:33:10,640 --> 02:33:10,890
like wement

4155
02:33:11,820 --> 02:33:12,070
we access to community capital

4156
02:33:13,920 --> 02:33:14,170
so that's micro grants tech tool

4157
02:33:15,980 --> 02:33:16,230
kits nonpredatory loans,

4158
02:33:18,140 --> 02:33:18,390
networks of peers and allies and

4159
02:33:20,380 --> 02:33:20,630
I think that's how we've also

4160
02:33:21,460 --> 02:33:21,710
been able to strengthen our

4161
02:33:22,860 --> 02:33:23,110
indigenous workforce and

4162
02:33:24,300 --> 02:33:24,550
business owners and then we also

4163
02:33:27,180 --> 02:33:27,430
offer fiscal sponsorship so you

4164
02:33:29,360 --> 02:33:29,610
all mentioned right there's

4165
02:33:30,400 --> 02:33:30,650
always a lack of fiscal sponsors

4166
02:33:32,240 --> 02:33:32,490
within our community who's able

4167
02:33:33,860 --> 02:33:34,110
to take in these funds these

4168
02:33:35,120 --> 02:33:35,370
capital stacks and be able to

4169
02:33:36,880 --> 02:33:37,130
manage programs and that's

4170
02:33:38,700 --> 02:33:38,950
really what we focused on we

4171
02:33:40,480 --> 02:33:40,730
have 22 different

4172
02:33:41,420 --> 02:33:41,670
emerging projects around the

4173
02:33:42,940 --> 02:33:43,190
state that we act as a fiscal

4174
02:33:44,600 --> 02:33:44,850
sponsor and what has really

4175
02:33:46,080 --> 02:33:46,330
helped us is that we have our

4176
02:33:47,640 --> 02:33:47,890
back end we have a solid

4177
02:33:49,000 --> 02:33:49,250
foundation as a venture capital

4178
02:33:50,340 --> 02:33:50,590
fund operating for over 20 years

4179
02:33:52,460 --> 02:33:52,710
we have two accountants and we

4180
02:33:54,340 --> 02:33:54,590
really focus on technology to

4181
02:33:56,360 --> 02:33:56,610
help with program management.

4182
02:33:58,940 --> 02:33:59,190
So on our next slide, Liz is

4183
02:34:00,760 --> 02:34:01,010
going to talk about you know why

4184
02:34:02,140 --> 02:34:02,390
we're here and why should we

4185
02:34:03,540 --> 02:34:03,790
invest in more native

4186
02:34:04,760 --> 02:34:05,010
entrepreneurs in New Mexico

4187
02:34:05,960 --> 02:34:06,210
community capital.

4188
02:34:17,490 --> 02:34:17,740
So New Mexico is a hot spot as

4189
02:34:20,870 --> 02:34:21,120
I'm sure you are all feeling

4190
02:34:23,010 --> 02:34:23,260
with perhaps different

4191
02:34:25,310 --> 02:34:25,560
leadership coming in

4192
02:34:28,010 --> 02:34:28,260
different way and right it is

4193
02:34:32,170 --> 02:34:32,420
the second state number 2 for

4194
02:34:35,370 --> 02:34:35,620
native owned businesses in 2025

4195
02:34:39,210 --> 02:34:39,460
so our work over the last decade

4196
02:34:42,310 --> 02:34:42,560
has helped New Mexico stand out

4197
02:34:45,250 --> 02:34:45,500
as one of the strongest

4198
02:34:45,593 --> 02:34:45,843
environment

4199
02:34:47,410 --> 02:34:47,660
s in the country for native

4200
02:34:49,530 --> 02:34:49,780
entrepreneurs and we're the only

4201
02:34:52,370 --> 02:34:52,620
native led nonprofit that

4202
02:34:54,990 --> 02:34:55,240
provides services to business

4203
02:34:56,850 --> 02:34:57,100
owners statewide and all tribal

4204
02:34:57,619 --> 02:34:57,869
affiliation.

4205
02:34:59,810 --> 02:35:00,060
affiliations sorry

4206
02:35:03,990 --> 02:35:04,240
so

4207
02:35:04,150 --> 02:35:04,400
we've done a lot in the past10

4208
02:35:07,710 --> 02:35:07,960
years so officially in 2014 we

4209
02:35:12,390 --> 02:35:12,640
received a grant from the

4210
02:35:14,190 --> 02:35:14,440
administration for Native

4211
02:35:16,050 --> 02:35:16,300
Americans which kicked off ourE

4212
02:35:19,430 --> 02:35:19,680
program native entrepreneur and

4213
02:35:24,150 --> 02:35:24,400
residents program a very first

4214
02:35:24,770 --> 02:35:25,020
company to go through the

4215
02:35:26,070 --> 02:35:26,320
program was bo and arrow brewery

4216
02:35:29,970 --> 02:35:30,220
sohya Shepherd worked at NMCc

4217
02:35:32,510 --> 02:35:32,760
she was a financial analyst

4218
02:35:35,690 --> 02:35:35,940
so she took it to the next step.

4219
02:35:37,770 --> 02:35:38,020
she was ready to take the leap

4220
02:35:39,650 --> 02:35:39,900
and she helped formulate and

4221
02:35:43,690 --> 02:35:43,940
build the curriculum for the

4222
02:35:45,090 --> 02:35:45,340
NMCc program so

4223
02:35:47,150 --> 02:35:47,400
she was the first of46

4224
02:35:49,870 --> 02:35:50,120
entrepreneurs to go through the

4225
02:35:52,490 --> 02:35:52,740
six month program but what we

4226
02:35:54,850 --> 02:35:55,100
found was we needed more basics

4227
02:35:57,810 --> 02:35:58,060
and essentials so Jake created

4228
02:36:00,730 --> 02:36:00,980
another program calledinancial

4229
02:36:04,790 --> 02:36:05,040
Business basicsics we then moved

4230
02:36:05,730 --> 02:36:05,980
to digital marketing and

4231
02:36:09,210 --> 02:36:09,460
media basics and now where we've

4232
02:36:12,630 --> 02:36:12,880
landed is business and marketing

4233
02:36:14,650 --> 02:36:14,900
essentials so all of those

4234
02:36:15,004 --> 02:36:15,254
program

4235
02:36:18,050 --> 02:36:18,300
s we've put 864 people through

4236
02:36:21,650 --> 02:36:21,900
various programs every single

4237
02:36:24,530 --> 02:36:24,780
one has received a stipend so

4238
02:36:27,610 --> 02:36:27,860
anywhere from1200 dollars

4239
02:36:31,670 --> 02:36:31,920
to15,000 for the six month

4240
02:36:32,850 --> 02:36:33,100
program that is included in

4241
02:36:35,350 --> 02:36:35,600
every grant that we provide to

4242
02:36:38,270 --> 02:36:38,520
funders

4243
02:36:39,410 --> 02:36:39,660
it is an essential piece of the

4244
02:36:42,250 --> 02:36:42,500
work that we do people not only

4245
02:36:45,190 --> 02:36:45,440
need it for the business they

4246
02:36:46,870 --> 02:36:47,120
need it for child care they need

4247
02:36:48,750 --> 02:36:49,000
it for food we think what are

4248
02:36:51,390 --> 02:36:51,640
the hurdles that are keeping

4249
02:36:52,630 --> 02:36:52,880
entrepreneurs from doing their

4250
02:36:54,450 --> 02:36:54,700
work so that amounts to10,000

4251
02:36:59,970 --> 02:37:00,220
over10,000 hours in training so

4252
02:37:01,930 --> 02:37:02,180
I'm oh you're looking at the new

4253
02:37:04,170 --> 02:37:04,420
pack 228,000 in tech toolkits

4254
02:37:09,450 --> 02:37:09,700
the value of that mentorship is

4255
02:37:11,830 --> 02:37:12,080
almost a million dollars that

4256
02:37:14,090 --> 02:37:14,340
we've provided and we have

4257
02:37:19,470 --> 02:37:19,720
received14.5 million in grants

4258
02:37:22,030 --> 02:37:22,280
we have only received one state

4259
02:37:24,590 --> 02:37:24,840
grant from IAD we did a program

4260
02:37:28,030 --> 02:37:28,280
just this earlier this year

4261
02:37:31,430 --> 02:37:31,680
we did two business and

4262
02:37:33,650 --> 02:37:33,900
marketing essentials classes

4263
02:37:37,660 --> 02:37:37,910
awesome thank you Liz for

4264
02:37:39,120 --> 02:37:39,370
sharing some of that impact and

4265
02:37:40,380 --> 02:37:40,630
that's all driven by the

4266
02:37:41,620 --> 02:37:41,870
entrepreneurs themselves,

4267
02:37:43,120 --> 02:37:43,370
including the mentorship we

4268
02:37:44,640 --> 02:37:44,890
really value finding native

4269
02:37:46,640 --> 02:37:46,890
mentors as well so in some cases

4270
02:37:48,960 --> 02:37:49,210
that's here both in New Mexico

4271
02:37:50,540 --> 02:37:50,790
as well as nationally and

4272
02:37:52,340 --> 02:37:52,590
internationally

4273
02:37:53,860 --> 02:37:54,110
so on our next slide we're

4274
02:37:55,700 --> 02:37:55,950
talking about access to

4275
02:37:56,720 --> 02:37:56,970
knowledge so just want to give

4276
02:37:57,900 --> 02:37:58,150
you a quote you know from a

4277
02:37:59,920 --> 02:38:00,170
participant the training I

4278
02:38:01,020 --> 02:38:01,270
received gave me the confidence

4279
02:38:02,180 --> 02:38:02,430
and tools to grow my business

4280
02:38:03,660 --> 02:38:03,910
and support my community and I

4281
02:38:06,240 --> 02:38:06,490
would say that's almost one of

4282
02:38:07,840 --> 02:38:08,090
the most valuable parts of our

4283
02:38:09,060 --> 02:38:09,310
programming is to connect and

4284
02:38:10,580 --> 02:38:10,830
network with the peers of native

4285
02:38:12,440 --> 02:38:12,690
entrepreneurs right we have a

4286
02:38:14,480 --> 02:38:14,730
space in downtown Albuquerque.

4287
02:38:16,080 --> 02:38:16,330
We recently spent1.4 million

4288
02:38:18,160 --> 02:38:18,410
dollars of renovating the space

4289
02:38:20,220 --> 02:38:20,470
to have the best in class

4290
02:38:22,880 --> 02:38:23,130
audiovisual to be able to do

4291
02:38:23,960 --> 02:38:24,210
hybrid events to host community

4292
02:38:25,760 --> 02:38:26,010
events and we have one of our

4293
02:38:28,240 --> 02:38:28,490
participants here today

4294
02:38:30,820 --> 02:38:31,070
Aquilamartinez and this is

4295
02:38:31,520 --> 02:38:31,770
really around access to

4296
02:38:32,680 --> 02:38:32,930
technology we doubled down on

4297
02:38:35,460 --> 02:38:35,710
technology especially before the

4298
02:38:37,600 --> 02:38:37,850
pandemic so we already knew that

4299
02:38:39,540 --> 02:38:39,790
the rural nature of of our

4300
02:38:41,080 --> 02:38:41,330
community meant that we couldn't

4301
02:38:42,720 --> 02:38:42,970
be everywhere so we had to

4302
02:38:43,980 --> 02:38:44,230
really focus on doing virtual

4303
02:38:45,280 --> 02:38:45,530
programming making sure to give

4304
02:38:46,980 --> 02:38:47,230
people computers teaching them

4305
02:38:48,820 --> 02:38:49,070
how to do a a virtual

4306
02:38:50,860 --> 02:38:51,110
programming right to to log in.

4307
02:38:53,120 --> 02:38:53,370
So during the

4308
02:38:53,820 --> 02:38:54,070
pandemic we actually were able

4309
02:38:55,180 --> 02:38:55,430
to scale we never stopped

4310
02:38:56,400 --> 02:38:56,650
working because our work was

4311
02:38:57,940 --> 02:38:58,190
already based in that virtual

4312
02:38:59,720 --> 02:38:59,970
programming. Akila was one of

4313
02:39:01,520 --> 02:39:01,770
our participants and I feel like

4314
02:39:03,260 --> 02:39:03,510
Liz you know if you could

4315
02:39:04,220 --> 02:39:04,470
introduce her so that she could

4316
02:39:05,840 --> 02:39:06,090
share her new slides that she

4317
02:39:07,200 --> 02:39:07,450
also shared with you all

4318
02:39:11,940 --> 02:39:12,190
Absolutely so Akila is one of

4319
02:39:12,840 --> 02:39:13,090
those success stories that we'd

4320
02:39:15,600 --> 02:39:15,850
like to point out I very much

4321
02:39:19,000 --> 02:39:19,250
believe in system models and I

4322
02:39:22,040 --> 02:39:22,290
think the other interpretation

4323
02:39:24,400 --> 02:39:24,650
of a system which is a very

4324
02:39:26,740 --> 02:39:26,990
western term is relationship

4325
02:39:29,340 --> 02:39:29,590
based models so here akeyla

4326
02:39:32,540 --> 02:39:32,790
comes in she attends a class we

4327
02:39:35,740 --> 02:39:35,990
see that she is very skilled so

4328
02:39:38,540 --> 02:39:38,790
she comes in

4329
02:39:39,440 --> 02:39:39,690
she becomes a guest speaker we

4330
02:39:42,100 --> 02:39:42,350
decide to hire Akila to

4331
02:39:45,260 --> 02:39:45,510
create some little vignettes of

4332
02:39:48,180 --> 02:39:48,430
instruction around social

4333
02:39:50,940 --> 02:39:51,190
media which is really needed

4334
02:39:53,820 --> 02:39:54,070
so that goes on ikok and I think

4335
02:39:57,000 --> 02:39:57,250
that maybe our highest rated

4336
02:40:00,680 --> 02:40:00,930
ikok so if you go to our site

4337
02:40:02,500 --> 02:40:02,750
and go back you'll see and it is

4338
02:40:05,320 --> 02:40:05,570
all around language preservation

4339
02:40:07,180 --> 02:40:07,430
so she has made it identifiable

4340
02:40:11,200 --> 02:40:11,450
by younger people by older

4341
02:40:13,620 --> 02:40:13,870
people just by the subject she

4342
02:40:16,040 --> 02:40:16,290
uses she kicked off and led

4343
02:40:20,300 --> 02:40:20,550
and she's going to talk a little

4344
02:40:21,640 --> 02:40:21,890
about this but I think it's

4345
02:40:23,420 --> 02:40:23,670
important

4346
02:40:23,860 --> 02:40:24,110
to really just elevate what

4347
02:40:26,360 --> 02:40:26,610
she's done in community and the

4348
02:40:29,400 --> 02:40:29,650
most humble way we put on a

4349
02:40:32,840 --> 02:40:33,090
turtle island women in tech

4350
02:40:35,240 --> 02:40:35,490
conference so we brought women

4351
02:40:37,660 --> 02:40:37,910
from New Zealand from Canada

4352
02:40:40,520 --> 02:40:40,770
and my goodness and about six

4353
02:40:44,480 --> 02:40:44,730
weeks 8 weeks akila raised

4354
02:40:47,660 --> 02:40:47,910
enough money to put this

4355
02:40:49,220 --> 02:40:49,470
conference on and brought these

4356
02:40:50,960 --> 02:40:51,210
people here it was amazing. so

4357
02:40:53,300 --> 02:40:53,550
this is something that just took

4358
02:40:55,160 --> 02:40:55,410
place a year and a half ago it

4359
02:40:57,280 --> 02:40:57,530
was the first of its kind and

4360
02:40:59,600 --> 02:40:59,850
we're really pro proud that

4361
02:41:01,740 --> 02:41:01,990
she's a part of our extended

4362
02:41:03,800 --> 02:41:04,050
family at NMCc so I'm gonna pass

4363
02:41:07,860 --> 02:41:08,110
it toilla and she can just talk

4364
02:41:09,040 --> 02:41:09,290
about her work.

4365
02:41:10,220 --> 02:41:10,470
thank you Liz that means so

4366
02:41:13,760 --> 02:41:14,010
much. So just for some context

4367
02:41:15,480 --> 02:41:15,730
we'll start on this slide here

4368
02:41:18,060 --> 02:41:18,310
don't know if you guys could

4369
02:41:19,280 --> 02:41:19,530
see that so a quick agenda of

4370
02:41:21,980 --> 02:41:22,230
what I'll be talking about today

4371
02:41:23,440 --> 02:41:23,690
is a glittering ro girl intro to

4372
02:41:26,740 --> 02:41:26,990
my business and then how NMCc

4373
02:41:29,240 --> 02:41:29,490
helped the latest momentum and

4374
02:41:31,480 --> 02:41:31,730
why support matters in this work

4375
02:41:33,320 --> 02:41:33,570
so starting with the first slide

4376
02:41:37,260 --> 02:41:37,510
yay my name is Aquilo Martinez

4377
02:41:41,380 --> 02:41:41,630
Bajaleque winni ini dnasha I

4378
02:41:41,660 --> 02:41:41,910
come from the redsprings

4379
02:41:42,540 --> 02:41:42,790
community of the Navajo Nation

4380
02:41:44,000 --> 02:41:44,250
which is just about1f minutes

4381
02:41:46,200 --> 02:41:46,450
south of Gallup, New Mexico so I

4382
02:41:48,560 --> 02:41:48,810
went to school here elementary

4383
02:41:50,620 --> 02:41:50,870
school, middle school and high

4384
02:41:52,780 --> 02:41:53,030
school. and so yeah, I really

4385
02:41:55,840 --> 02:41:56,090
much know what it is to be like

4386
02:41:58,480 --> 02:41:58,730
growing up on a border by border

4387
02:42:00,420 --> 02:42:00,670
town.

4388
02:42:03,180 --> 02:42:03,430
I

4389
02:42:03,780 --> 02:42:04,030
got my lifelong goal at the age

4390
02:42:05,700 --> 02:42:05,950
of three to create

4391
02:42:07,340 --> 02:42:07,590
community-based media after

4392
02:42:08,700 --> 02:42:08,950
constantly witnessing my

4393
02:42:10,080 --> 02:42:10,330
grandparents have to watch TV

4394
02:42:11,580 --> 02:42:11,830
programming that was only

4395
02:42:12,660 --> 02:42:12,910
offered in English so that's why

4396
02:42:14,840 --> 02:42:15,090
I felt like it was important to

4397
02:42:16,060 --> 02:42:16,310
create media that revitalizes

4398
02:42:18,560 --> 02:42:18,810
language and culture

4399
02:42:19,440 --> 02:42:19,690
into my adolescence after I

4400
02:42:22,140 --> 02:42:22,390
graduated college I really saw

4401
02:42:24,640 --> 02:42:24,890
that there was a lack of

4402
02:42:26,220 --> 02:42:26,470
career opportunity around the

4403
02:42:28,840 --> 02:42:29,090
area for language and culture

4404
02:42:30,380 --> 02:42:30,630
preservation so which that led

4405
02:42:32,180 --> 02:42:32,430
me down the path of

4406
02:42:33,260 --> 02:42:33,510
entrepreneurship.

4407
02:42:33,980 --> 02:42:34,230
Today glittering wallir is an

4408
02:42:36,900 --> 02:42:37,150
indigenous women owned

4409
02:42:39,040 --> 02:42:39,290
multimedia house and I focus on

4410
02:42:40,709 --> 02:42:40,959
creating indigenousbased

4411
02:42:43,260 --> 02:42:43,510
circular economic ecosystems

4412
02:42:45,180 --> 02:42:45,430
community based media that

4413
02:42:47,660 --> 02:42:47,910
focuses on indigenous language

4414
02:42:49,420 --> 02:42:49,670
and culture of futurism. The

4415
02:42:51,760 --> 02:42:52,010
medium that I predominantly

4416
02:42:53,240 --> 02:42:53,490
focus on which is the next slide

4417
02:42:56,400 --> 02:42:56,650
this one right here is

4418
02:43:01,480 --> 02:43:01,730
augmented reality and so I

4419
02:43:04,160 --> 02:43:04,410
develop augmented reality for

4420
02:43:05,780 --> 02:43:06,030
mobile phones and for also

4421
02:43:08,620 --> 02:43:08,870
augmented reality glasses

4422
02:43:10,060 --> 02:43:10,310
multiple types of AR are

4423
02:43:13,420 --> 02:43:13,670
augmented reality which is the

4424
02:43:14,960 --> 02:43:15,210
slide here is the famous type of

4425
02:43:19,040 --> 02:43:19,290
Aar is for social media filters

4426
02:43:20,620 --> 02:43:20,870
and then also Pokemon Go.

4427
02:43:22,320 --> 02:43:22,570
and some really cool exciting

4428
02:43:27,500 --> 02:43:27,750
client feedback which is this

4429
02:43:29,200 --> 02:43:29,450
slide here. is that

4430
02:43:32,180 --> 02:43:32,430
glittering world girl was able

4431
02:43:33,540 --> 02:43:33,790
to deliver AR experiences at a

4432
02:43:36,300 --> 02:43:36,550
faster capacity and that are

4433
02:43:38,760 --> 02:43:39,010
much better designed than

4434
02:43:40,040 --> 02:43:40,290
companies on the east coast. So

4435
02:43:41,960 --> 02:43:42,210
that really means a lot to me

4436
02:43:43,280 --> 02:43:43,530
because it's taken a lot of

4437
02:43:45,220 --> 02:43:45,470
momentum to teach myself how to

4438
02:43:47,460 --> 02:43:47,710
build AR experiences which is an

4439
02:43:49,380 --> 02:43:49,630
emerging technology and the

4440
02:43:52,000 --> 02:43:52,250
focus of glittering Worldirl is

4441
02:43:53,580 --> 02:43:53,830
to really help New

4442
02:43:54,680 --> 02:43:54,930
Mexico and tribal nations become

4443
02:43:57,560 --> 02:43:57,810
technologically inclined and up

4444
02:43:59,560 --> 02:43:59,810
to date with emerging

4445
02:44:00,620 --> 02:44:00,870
technologies that are changing

4446
02:44:01,940 --> 02:44:02,190
the world.

4447
02:44:02,480 --> 02:44:02,730
Some awards there that you see

4448
02:44:05,240 --> 02:44:05,490
is that I've received

4449
02:44:06,620 --> 02:44:06,870
multiple awards from MIT

4450
02:44:09,600 --> 02:44:09,850
Stanford and recently a VC

4451
02:44:13,680 --> 02:44:13,930
fund

4452
02:44:14,140 --> 02:44:14,390
establishment in San Francisco

4453
02:44:18,580 --> 02:44:18,830
and I've also gotten the New

4454
02:44:20,160 --> 02:44:20,410
Mexico Women and Tech emerging

4455
02:44:21,840 --> 02:44:22,090
award of 2024.

4456
02:44:23,180 --> 02:44:23,430
and then you see there's some

4457
02:44:25,840 --> 02:44:26,090
media coverage that my work has

4458
02:44:27,520 --> 02:44:27,770
gotten and then also how New

4459
02:44:32,380 --> 02:44:32,630
Mexicounity capital has really

4460
02:44:33,740 --> 02:44:33,990
flourished and given me capacity

4461
02:44:36,360 --> 02:44:36,610
to build on my business is in

4462
02:44:40,440 --> 02:44:40,690
2021 I joined their business

4463
02:44:43,122 --> 02:44:43,372
marketingssentials class and

4464
02:44:45,560 --> 02:44:45,810
they they really provided an

4465
02:44:47,480 --> 02:44:47,730
environment and a space of

4466
02:44:49,220 --> 02:44:49,470
support of entrepreneurship

4467
02:44:51,080 --> 02:44:51,330
teaching me about marketing

4468
02:44:52,860 --> 02:44:53,110
financial

4469
02:44:53,960 --> 02:44:54,210
literacy, business and finance

4470
02:44:56,860 --> 02:44:57,110
structures and that really

4471
02:45:00,120 --> 02:45:00,370
led to me winning AIBE pitch

4472
02:45:03,320 --> 02:45:03,570
competition in 2022 for first

4473
02:45:06,740 --> 02:45:06,990
place for glittering Worldirl.

4474
02:45:08,060 --> 02:45:08,310
since then I have like Liz

4475
02:45:13,500 --> 02:45:13,750
mentioned there was a lot of

4476
02:45:15,700 --> 02:45:15,950
trust there that was built I was

4477
02:45:19,280 --> 02:45:19,530
hired to host some of their

4478
02:45:22,080 --> 02:45:22,330
video marketing workshops and

4479
02:45:25,100 --> 02:45:25,350
then also contracted to produce

4480
02:45:27,380 --> 02:45:27,630
some videos for their

4481
02:45:28,440 --> 02:45:28,690
programming and that really

4482
02:45:29,920 --> 02:45:30,170
meant a lot to me because it

4483
02:45:31,980 --> 02:45:32,230
felt like they believed in my

4484
02:45:33,480 --> 02:45:33,730
my offerings that a business had

4485
02:45:36,200 --> 02:45:36,450
my business had

4486
02:45:37,240 --> 02:45:37,490
I've also and a s recipient of

4487
02:45:40,680 --> 02:45:40,930
their kinship lending loan

4488
02:45:42,640 --> 02:45:42,890
programme, which not only helped

4489
02:45:44,000 --> 02:45:44,250
my business but it also helped

4490
02:45:45,620 --> 02:45:45,870
me establish and create a

4491
02:45:47,680 --> 02:45:47,930
positive credit for myself.

4492
02:45:49,760 --> 02:45:50,010
in 2025 my business received

4493
02:45:54,220 --> 02:45:54,470
a h00,000 dollars grant and I

4494
02:45:57,600 --> 02:45:57,850
was able to use New Mexicounity

4495
02:46:00,140 --> 02:46:00,390
capital as a fiscal sponsor and

4496
02:46:02,040 --> 02:46:02,290
through that process they were a

4497
02:46:03,720 --> 02:46:03,970
true partner in that process

4498
02:46:06,240 --> 02:46:06,490
by offering me administrative

4499
02:46:08,800 --> 02:46:09,050
and financial administrative

4500
02:46:11,580 --> 02:46:11,830
support which let me learn about

4501
02:46:15,640 --> 02:46:15,890
the ins and outs of budget to

4502
02:46:17,080 --> 02:46:17,330
actuals profit and loss

4503
02:46:18,520 --> 02:46:18,770
statements associated with the

4504
02:46:20,100 --> 02:46:20,350
grant and most importantly to

4505
02:46:22,580 --> 02:46:22,830
give me a sense of what it

4506
02:46:23,640 --> 02:46:23,890
really takes to offer

4507
02:46:26,180 --> 02:46:26,430
technologybased programming for

4508
02:46:26,980 --> 02:46:27,230
the community.

4509
02:46:28,240 --> 02:46:28,490
So on there you'll see pictures

4510
02:46:29,640 --> 02:46:29,890
of indigenous augmented reality

4511
02:46:31,840 --> 02:46:32,090
workshops I was able to host

4512
02:46:33,472 --> 02:46:33,722
those at New Mexico Community

4513
02:46:34,920 --> 02:46:35,170
Capital and through their fiscal

4514
02:46:37,200 --> 02:46:37,450
sponsorship I was able to do

4515
02:46:40,060 --> 02:46:40,310
workshops on the Navajo Nation

4516
02:46:42,160 --> 02:46:42,410
and at UCLA.

4517
02:46:45,060 --> 02:46:45,310
so and then the most latest

4518
02:46:47,860 --> 02:46:48,110
momentum is that we hosted the

4519
02:46:51,800 --> 02:46:52,050
turtle Islandomen in Tech event

4520
02:46:53,520 --> 02:46:53,770
just this past august and that

4521
02:46:56,940 --> 02:46:57,190
was an amazing moment in

4522
02:46:59,640 --> 02:46:59,890
itself we brought together

4523
02:47:00,740 --> 02:47:00,990
prominent indigenous women from

4524
02:47:02,380 --> 02:47:02,630
Canada, New Zealand, across the

4525
02:47:04,780 --> 02:47:05,030
states and of course New Mexico

4526
02:47:06,120 --> 02:47:06,370
to really dream and imagine

4527
02:47:09,740 --> 02:47:09,990
what technology can be like on

4528
02:47:11,980 --> 02:47:12,230
our terms for economic sovere

4529
02:47:14,320 --> 02:47:14,570
ign ty self determination,

4530
02:47:16,300 --> 02:47:16,550
language and culturely

4531
02:47:17,540 --> 02:47:17,790
appropriate content in

4532
02:47:19,840 --> 02:47:20,090
technology and

4533
02:47:21,740 --> 02:47:21,990
that in itself was a true

4534
02:47:26,160 --> 02:47:26,410
partnership as well with New

4535
02:47:27,520 --> 02:47:27,770
Mexico Community Capital you

4536
02:47:28,900 --> 02:47:29,150
could say they acted as a fiscal

4537
02:47:30,300 --> 02:47:30,550
sponsor for that

4538
02:47:31,340 --> 02:47:31,590
because all of the skills that I

4539
02:47:34,740 --> 02:47:34,990
have obtained up until this past

4540
02:47:36,540 --> 02:47:36,790
august as an entrepreneur I was

4541
02:47:39,240 --> 02:47:39,490
able to raise over47,000 dollars

4542
02:47:41,460 --> 02:47:41,710
for this event within a matter

4543
02:47:43,580 --> 02:47:43,830
of three months and that came

4544
02:47:45,920 --> 02:47:46,170
from pitching

4545
02:47:46,660 --> 02:47:46,910
glittering wogir New Mexico

4546
02:47:49,560 --> 02:47:49,810
community capital to each of

4547
02:47:51,060 --> 02:47:51,310
these sponsors to earn their

4548
02:47:52,680 --> 02:47:52,930
trust and their dollars to

4549
02:47:53,880 --> 02:47:54,130
sponsor this event

4550
02:47:54,740 --> 02:47:54,990
so

4551
02:47:55,940 --> 02:47:56,190
this is that that kind of space

4552
02:47:58,920 --> 02:47:59,170
that the turtle Islandomen in

4553
02:48:00,380 --> 02:48:00,630
tech event created is so

4554
02:48:03,100 --> 02:48:03,350
valuable because as I've been in

4555
02:48:05,280 --> 02:48:05,530
spaces like I mentioned at MIT

4556
02:48:07,760 --> 02:48:08,010
Stanford Snapchat meta and

4557
02:48:10,880 --> 02:48:11,130
some of the leading global

4558
02:48:12,080 --> 02:48:12,330
conferences I see no indigenous

4559
02:48:14,480 --> 02:48:14,730
representation in these spaces

4560
02:48:16,220 --> 02:48:16,470
and so creating an event like

4561
02:48:20,040 --> 02:48:20,290
the turtle Islandomen intech

4562
02:48:21,420 --> 02:48:21,670
event is something that was is

4563
02:48:23,780 --> 02:48:24,030
very much needed

4564
02:48:24,620 --> 02:48:24,870
and it was an event to be

4565
02:48:27,020 --> 02:48:27,270
attended by indigenous people

4566
02:48:28,600 --> 02:48:28,850
non indigenous people, everyone

4567
02:48:30,340 --> 02:48:30,590
so we can create an ecosystem

4568
02:48:32,280 --> 02:48:32,530
and learn how we can work

4569
02:48:34,120 --> 02:48:34,370
together and in innovative ways

4570
02:48:37,600 --> 02:48:37,850
aside from that on glittering

4571
02:48:38,459 --> 02:48:38,709
Worldirls

4572
02:48:43,520 --> 02:48:43,770
with glittering wo girl I've

4573
02:48:44,520 --> 02:48:44,770
been in talk with Bernna Leo

4574
02:48:46,960 --> 02:48:47,210
County and Gallupup Tourism here

4575
02:48:47,960 --> 02:48:48,210
to learn how to bring augmented

4576
02:48:50,080 --> 02:48:50,330
reality programming to schools

4577
02:48:51,960 --> 02:48:52,210
and then also to for the

4578
02:48:54,940 --> 02:48:55,190
gallup tourism efforts as well

4579
02:48:56,880 --> 02:48:57,130
to kind of bring an emerging

4580
02:48:58,740 --> 02:48:58,990
te technology to an

4581
02:49:00,640 --> 02:49:00,890
experience that the tourists get

4582
02:49:02,420 --> 02:49:02,670
to experience when they

4583
02:49:04,120 --> 02:49:04,370
visitallllup. but yeah so I

4584
02:49:06,460 --> 02:49:06,710
just I really want to thank New

4585
02:49:09,560 --> 02:49:09,810
Mexicounity Capi I think that

4586
02:49:10,320 --> 02:49:10,570
what it takes really is

4587
02:49:12,640 --> 02:49:12,890
resources I think through my

4588
02:49:15,060 --> 02:49:15,310
work I realized that it does

4589
02:49:16,860 --> 02:49:17,110
take a a a lot of dollars to be

4590
02:49:20,420 --> 02:49:20,670
able to to create impact to be

4591
02:49:22,640 --> 02:49:22,890
able to offer back to the

4592
02:49:25,320 --> 02:49:25,570
community so through my

4593
02:49:26,560 --> 02:49:26,810
workshops I I offer stipends to

4594
02:49:29,540 --> 02:49:29,790
participants to attend we

4595
02:49:32,400 --> 02:49:32,650
offer catering and then we also

4596
02:49:34,700 --> 02:49:34,950
hire local talent to perform

4597
02:49:37,220 --> 02:49:37,470
at these workshops so yeah I

4598
02:49:41,180 --> 02:49:41,430
think that my ask

4599
02:49:42,440 --> 02:49:42,690
today is for you guys to you

4600
02:49:45,340 --> 02:49:45,590

4602
02:49:48,680 --> 02:49:48,930
great work that they do they

4603
02:49:50,460 --> 02:49:50,710
really are a leader in the

4604
02:49:52,800 --> 02:49:53,050
whole50 states for innovation

4605
02:49:54,620 --> 02:49:54,870
and indigenous entrepreneurship

4606
02:49:56,760 --> 02:49:57,010
they're creating a whole

4607
02:49:58,780 --> 02:49:59,030
ecosystem of that that is a

4608
02:50:00,640 --> 02:50:00,890
model to be studied

4609
02:50:03,080 --> 02:50:03,330
and so yes the ask is that

4610
02:50:05,220 --> 02:50:05,470
you know we need support as

4611
02:50:06,860 --> 02:50:07,110
entrepreneurs who are trying to

4612
02:50:08,520 --> 02:50:08,770
give back to community and

4613
02:50:10,180 --> 02:50:10,430
create and invent new things for

4614
02:50:12,180 --> 02:50:12,430
the community we need the

4615
02:50:14,360 --> 02:50:14,610

4616
02:50:16,580 --> 02:50:16,830
visibility and really the

4617
02:50:17,900 --> 02:50:18,150
community and trust in the

4618
02:50:19,300 --> 02:50:19,550
kinship amongst all of us to

4619
02:50:21,280 --> 02:50:21,530
create that thriving ecosystem.

we did receive a small grant

4624
02:50:35,890 --> 02:50:36,140
from the IED this past year

4625
02:50:38,550 --> 02:50:38,800
but we have yeah we have not

4626
02:50:40,870 --> 02:50:41,120
yes and that's also

4627
02:50:47,350 --> 02:50:47,600
we we could have a couple more

4628
02:50:48,330 --> 02:50:48,580
slides but it's up to you ok

4629
02:50:50,250 --> 02:50:50,500
yeah so yeah we'll focus

4630
02:50:51,990 --> 02:50:52,240
we'll just finish up some of the

4631
02:50:53,250 --> 02:50:53,500
slides so Kela was talking

4632
02:50:55,390 --> 02:50:55,640
about our turtle Island women at

4633
02:50:56,990 --> 02:50:57,240
tech event you know, I just want

4634
02:50:58,410 --> 02:50:58,660
to put it out there we had

4635
02:51:00,650 --> 02:51:00,900
over100 entrepreneurs there at

4636
02:51:02,550 --> 02:51:02,800
this event and we had

4637
02:51:04,790 --> 02:51:05,040
BobbyRossette from Canada who

4638
02:51:06,310 --> 02:51:06,560
just sold their business one of

4639
02:51:07,910 --> 02:51:08,160
the first native women business

4640
02:51:09,330 --> 02:51:09,580
owners who just sold their

4641
02:51:10,350 --> 02:51:10,600
business for over400 million

4642
02:51:12,850 --> 02:51:13,100
dollars, right? And so that's

4643
02:51:13,790 --> 02:51:14,040
the type of story that's the

4644
02:51:14,950 --> 02:51:15,200
type of hope that we're

4645
02:51:16,030 --> 02:51:16,280
providing right just

4646
02:51:17,010 --> 02:51:17,260
just examples of that since

4647
02:51:19,050 --> 02:51:19,300
opening up our resilience hub

4648
02:51:20,770 --> 02:51:21,020
we've had over19 different

4649
02:51:22,570 --> 02:51:22,820
pueblos use our space over47

4650
02:51:24,950 --> 02:51:25,200
other tribal nations, ix

4651
02:51:26,970 --> 02:51:27,220
international indigenous groups

4652
02:51:29,845 --> 02:51:30,095
over116 partner organizations we

4653
02:51:31,310 --> 02:51:31,560
host we hope to host you all one

4654
02:51:33,070 --> 02:51:33,320
day as well in the future we

4655
02:51:35,030 --> 02:51:35,280
do film nights art nights

4656
02:51:36,670 --> 02:51:36,920
wellness classes, powwow

4657
02:51:38,010 --> 02:51:38,260
practice drum and native games

4658
02:51:40,390 --> 02:51:40,640
and this is something that we

4659
02:51:41,370 --> 02:51:41,620
want to expand across New Mexico

4660
02:51:43,010 --> 02:51:43,260
right? how do we activate

4661
02:51:44,310 --> 02:51:44,560
downtown spaces we're operating

4662
02:51:46,770 --> 02:51:47,020
in a space called the Occidental

4663
02:51:49,470 --> 02:51:49,720
buildingilding and if you all

4664
02:51:49,990 --> 02:51:50,240
know that means the the western

4665
02:51:51,650 --> 02:51:51,900
building right so it it's really

4666
02:51:53,690 --> 02:51:53,940
symbolic that we have all of

4667
02:51:56,030 --> 02:51:56,280
these indigenous entrepreneurs

4668
02:51:57,470 --> 02:51:57,720
cultural bearers utilizing the

4669
02:51:59,050 --> 02:51:59,300
space one of the nicest

4670
02:52:00,410 --> 02:52:00,660
historical buildings in downtown

4671
02:52:01,910 --> 02:52:02,160
Albuquerque we're hoping to

4672
02:52:03,530 --> 02:52:03,780
purchase that building. we

4673
02:52:04,950 --> 02:52:05,200
know that you all can't help

4674
02:52:06,030 --> 02:52:06,280
with capital outlay but

4675
02:52:07,370 --> 02:52:07,620
that's something that we're also

4676
02:52:08,990 --> 02:52:09,240
fundraising for just a little

4677
02:52:11,590 --> 02:52:11,840
bit about our access to

4678
02:52:12,530 --> 02:52:12,780
community capital the fiscal

4679
02:52:14,210 --> 02:52:14,460
sponsorship grants the stipends,

4680
02:52:16,350 --> 02:52:16,600
the rooted

4681
02:52:16,730 --> 02:52:16,980
relative loan funds the co op

4682
02:52:18,350 --> 02:52:18,600
capital loans and did you

4683
02:52:19,890 --> 02:52:20,140
exchange sales? these are all

4684
02:52:21,410 --> 02:52:21,660
just numbers that we wanted to

4685
02:52:22,490 --> 02:52:22,740
share with you all. We want nex

4686
02:52:24,170 --> 02:52:24,420
this in the next10 years, right?

4687
02:52:25,950 --> 02:52:26,200
this is what something that

4688
02:52:26,910 --> 02:52:27,160
we're passionate about and we

4689
02:52:28,310 --> 02:52:28,560
have a system that I believe

4690
02:52:29,670 --> 02:52:29,920
works not only for indigenous

4691
02:52:31,170 --> 02:52:31,420
communities but rural

4692
02:52:32,550 --> 02:52:32,800
communities across New Mexico

4693
02:52:34,570 --> 02:52:34,820
and that's why we want to keep

4694
02:52:35,730 --> 02:52:35,980
our name New Mexicounity

4695
02:52:37,030 --> 02:52:37,280
Capital. So I'll have thisz

4696
02:52:39,030 --> 02:52:39,280
round us out to with our

4697
02:52:40,870 --> 02:52:41,120
presentations so we could have

4698
02:52:43,050 --> 02:52:43,300
start into questions.

4699
02:52:46,680 --> 02:52:46,930
so as Jake said for the past

4700
02:52:49,960 --> 02:52:50,210
year we've been looking at

4701
02:52:52,140 --> 02:52:52,390
buying our building we've also

4702
02:52:54,440 --> 02:52:54,690
been concerned about operating

4703
02:52:57,500 --> 02:52:57,750
expenses so we can continue this

4704
02:53:00,340 --> 02:53:00,590
work I think it is an

4705
02:53:03,900 --> 02:53:04,150
important piece of programming

4706
02:53:06,760 --> 02:53:07,010
to offer stipends to individuals

4707
02:53:10,220 --> 02:53:10,470
so that raises the cost of the

4708
02:53:12,920 --> 02:53:13,170
program a bit we also offer

4709
02:53:16,060 --> 02:53:16,310
follow

4710
02:53:16,720 --> 02:53:16,970
up mentorship and technical

4711
02:53:20,020 --> 02:53:20,270
assistance so at least3 to5

4712
02:53:23,740 --> 02:53:23,990
hours of mentorship for every

4713
02:53:26,280 --> 02:53:26,530
person is offered and that's not

4714
02:53:29,060 --> 02:53:29,310
just with us that could be with

4715
02:53:30,920 --> 02:53:31,170
others Akila has been a mentor

4716
02:53:33,860 --> 02:53:34,110
another role that

4717
02:53:36,480 --> 02:53:36,730
Akila has filled and we have

4718
02:53:38,820 --> 02:53:39,070
first Friday art walks madam

4719
02:53:41,180 --> 02:53:41,430
chair you look like you have a

4720
02:53:42,740 --> 02:53:42,990
question. OK sounds good so

4721
02:53:47,460 --> 02:53:47,710
we have we offer first Friday

4722
02:53:50,380 --> 02:53:50,630
art walks all the vendors that

4723
02:53:52,920 --> 02:53:53,170
have been in our programs are

4724
02:53:54,620 --> 02:53:54,870
invited to participate in that

4725
02:53:56,780 --> 02:53:57,030
so we don't charge we offer food

4726
02:54:00,080 --> 02:54:00,330
to all of the vendors that come

4727
02:54:02,660 --> 02:54:02,910
so again paying for security

4728
02:54:06,440 --> 02:54:06,690
you know not charging them a

4729
02:54:08,260 --> 02:54:08,510
space buying food and then the

4730
02:54:10,880 --> 02:54:11,130
staff is there that has to take

4731
02:54:13,520 --> 02:54:13,770
part in it and we've done worked

4732
02:54:16,420 --> 02:54:16,670
with the rail yards we've done40

4733
02:54:20,481 --> 02:54:20,731
we've hosted40 different

4734
02:54:22,759 --> 02:54:23,009
individuals we paid for the

4735
02:54:25,340 --> 02:54:25,590
space and given them it to them

4736
02:54:27,860 --> 02:54:28,110
we just wrapped up a five year

4737
02:54:30,200 --> 02:54:30,450
award

4738
02:54:31,580 --> 02:54:31,830
through the future is indigenous

4739
02:54:33,780 --> 02:54:34,030
women so that was a five year

4740
02:54:36,380 --> 02:54:36,630
program that we ran we were the

4741
02:54:39,180 --> 02:54:39,430
recipient of a10 million dollars

4742
02:54:41,340 --> 02:54:41,590
award from Melinda Gates and

4743
02:54:47,220 --> 02:54:47,470
mackenzieco and the Schusterman

4744
02:54:48,440 --> 02:54:48,690
Foundation to make women native

4745
02:54:51,360 --> 02:54:51,610
women more vestable so we did

4746
02:54:53,860 --> 02:54:54,110
that through summits and

4747
02:54:56,060 --> 02:54:56,310
programs and the repatriating

4748
02:54:58,340 --> 02:54:58,590
economies apprenticeship gave

4749
02:55:01,180 --> 02:55:01,430
them a lot of air time and

4750
02:55:03,720 --> 02:55:03,970
interviews and did community

4751
02:55:07,520 --> 02:55:07,770
table building sessions online

4752
02:55:11,140 --> 02:55:11,390
we had5 years of that so we just

4753
02:55:13,980 --> 02:55:14,230
wrapped up we'll have a public

4754
02:55:16,640 --> 02:55:16,890
report out soon

4755
02:55:19,840 --> 02:55:20,090
with that10 million4.6 million

4756
02:55:23,880 --> 02:55:24,130
was given back to community so

4757
02:55:27,420 --> 02:55:27,670
that went through stipends that

4758
02:55:29,860 --> 02:55:30,110
was loans that was technical

4759
02:55:32,200 --> 02:55:32,450
assistance so truly almost half

4760
02:55:35,580 --> 02:55:35,830
of it went back out to everyone

4761
02:55:37,760 --> 02:55:38,010
that participated in the program

4762
02:55:40,240 --> 02:55:40,490
and we'll we'll end this

4763
02:55:42,980 --> 02:55:43,230
presentation with just one other

4764
02:55:44,300 --> 02:55:44,550
example success story

4765
02:55:47,820 --> 02:55:48,070
benendndo the last name might

4766
02:55:48,700 --> 02:55:48,950
sound familiar but again also

4767
02:55:51,120 --> 02:55:51,370
program graduate became a

4768
02:55:52,940 --> 02:55:53,190
fiscally sponsored project

4769
02:55:55,020 --> 02:55:55,270
helped him with branding and

4770
02:55:56,180 --> 02:55:56,430
marketing support and helped him

4771
02:55:58,160 --> 02:55:58,410
buy a property inhama Springs

4772
02:56:01,740 --> 02:56:01,990
and he is fromhama pueblo and

4773
02:56:03,340 --> 02:56:03,590
that was very symbolic to be

4774
02:56:04,700 --> 02:56:04,950
able to have a physical location

4775
02:56:06,900 --> 02:56:07,150
within Hama Springs to offer

4776
02:56:09,120 --> 02:56:09,370
culturally rele relevant

4777
02:56:09,548 --> 02:56:09,798
training capoe

4778
02:56:11,960 --> 02:56:12,210
a training dance classes you

4779
02:56:14,400 --> 02:56:14,650
know to his community it's now a

4780
02:56:16,160 --> 02:56:16,410
community retreat and gathering

4781
02:56:17,500 --> 02:56:17,750
space and just another

4782
02:56:19,560 --> 02:56:19,810
example you know of how they

4783
02:56:21,240 --> 02:56:21,490
went through our system and I

4784
02:56:23,060 --> 02:56:23,310
just want to emphasize this

4785
02:56:23,920 --> 02:56:24,170
because you all probably hear a

4786
02:56:25,220 --> 02:56:25,470
lot of really I don't wanna say

4787
02:56:26,840 --> 02:56:27,090
like sad stories right on this

4788
02:56:29,140 --> 02:56:29,390
committee you know just hearing

4789
02:56:30,280 --> 02:56:30,530
about water addiction. we want

4790
02:56:32,680 --> 02:56:32,930
to bring this this light because

4791
02:56:33,900 --> 02:56:34,150
I think this is the success that

4792
02:56:35,360 --> 02:56:35,610
we want to see more of, right?

4793
02:56:36,680 --> 02:56:36,930
people from the community

4794
02:56:38,340 --> 02:56:38,590
supporting one another and

4795
02:56:40,440 --> 02:56:40,690
really you know taking the

4796
02:56:41,800 --> 02:56:42,050
emphasis to increase their

4797
02:56:44,380 --> 02:56:44,630
generational wealth so I

4798
02:56:46,440 --> 02:56:46,690
think we'll you know pause that

4799
02:56:48,020 --> 02:56:48,270
you get to see a little bit of

4800
02:56:49,200 --> 02:56:49,450
our operating budget as well and

4801
02:56:51,380 --> 02:56:51,630
some future projects but I'll

4802
02:56:52,700 --> 02:56:52,950
have Liz and this end this

4803
02:56:54,720 --> 02:56:54,970
presentation thank you

4804
02:56:57,160 --> 02:56:57,410
so we have have run a budget

4805
02:57:01,560 --> 02:57:01,810
for the past5 years of anywhere

4806
02:57:09,531 --> 02:57:09,781
from3.75 to4.2 million dollars

4807
02:57:10,600 --> 02:57:10,850
and and a lot of that

4808
02:57:12,480 --> 02:57:12,730
that's high for us and that was

4809
02:57:15,300 --> 02:57:15,550
due to the award we managed the

4810
02:57:18,020 --> 02:57:18,270
the funding for this we also

4811
02:57:21,380 --> 02:57:21,630
were able to invest very safely

4812
02:57:24,100 --> 02:57:24,350
in CDs and were backed FDIC

4813
02:57:27,300 --> 02:57:27,550
insured so we're able even to

4814
02:57:30,780 --> 02:57:31,030
make a little bit more but

4815
02:57:33,460 --> 02:57:33,710
just to share that we have 88%

4816
02:57:37,560 --> 02:57:37,810
of the money that funds us comes

4817
02:57:40,840 --> 02:57:41,090
from grants

4818
02:57:41,840 --> 02:57:42,090
and contributions business

4819
02:57:44,700 --> 02:57:44,950
services is 9% for2026 interest

4820
02:57:45,650 --> 02:57:45,900
income is3%.

4821
02:57:53,200 --> 02:57:53,450
we that actually seems high

4822
02:57:56,240 --> 02:57:56,490
but it's lower than what it has

4823
02:57:58,740 --> 02:57:58,990
been has been closer to 95% and

4824
02:58:02,880 --> 02:58:03,130
it's hard to rely on grants and

4825
02:58:05,540 --> 02:58:05,790
private funding for this work

4826
02:58:08,740 --> 02:58:08,990
year after year so we have not

4827
02:58:12,040 --> 02:58:12,290
presented before and there's

4828
02:58:15,800 --> 02:58:16,050
a couple of reasons for us being

4829
02:58:17,600 --> 02:58:17,850
here one is

4830
02:58:19,360 --> 02:58:19,610
we do need to diversify the way

4831
02:58:22,660 --> 02:58:22,910
that we bring funding in and

4832
02:58:26,280 --> 02:58:26,530
we are in a building

4833
02:58:29,120 --> 02:58:29,370
I've been here for 8 years when

4834
02:58:31,660 --> 02:58:31,910
I was here came in 2018 we were

4835
02:58:36,180 --> 02:58:36,430
in a corporate office building

4836
02:58:38,080 --> 02:58:38,330
at the corner of central andhird

4837
02:58:41,840 --> 02:58:42,090
it felt like that was not quite

4838
02:58:44,700 --> 02:58:44,950
our environment but that's where

4839
02:58:47,380 --> 02:58:47,630
we were and where we landed in

4840
02:58:49,720 --> 02:58:49,970
December of 2020 we moved to

4841
02:58:53,740 --> 02:58:53,990
theoccidental building slowly

4842
02:58:56,100 --> 02:58:56,350
took over4,000 square feet of

4843
02:58:58,840 --> 02:58:59,090
space we took over another4,000

4844
02:59:02,660 --> 02:59:02,910
square feet with the building

4845
02:59:05,820 --> 02:59:06,070
and opening of the razillience

4846
02:59:07,760 --> 02:59:08,010
sub two years ago October1st

4847
02:59:10,940 --> 02:59:11,190
will be our

4848
02:59:11,600 --> 02:59:11,850
anniversary and we raised as

4849
02:59:14,160 --> 02:59:14,410
Jake said1.4 million dollars to

4850
02:59:17,080 --> 02:59:17,330
finish that we have plans to

4851
02:59:20,380 --> 02:59:20,630
expand and continue to grow in

4852
02:59:23,500 --> 02:59:23,750
community and we need support

4853
02:59:26,120 --> 02:59:26,370
with raising more money for

4854
02:59:29,740 --> 02:59:29,990
the down payment we want to pair

4855
02:59:33,280 --> 02:59:33,530
with another nonprofit who's

4856
02:59:35,720 --> 02:59:35,970
currently on the 2nd floor and

4857
02:59:38,460 --> 02:59:38,710
do a joint venture

4858
02:59:39,960 --> 02:59:40,210
and own the building and this is

4859
02:59:43,720 --> 02:59:43,970
for the long term vision of NMCc

4860
02:59:48,360 --> 02:59:48,610
we also are looking for funding

4861
02:59:50,780 --> 02:59:51,030
to support our programming so we

4862
02:59:53,560 --> 02:59:53,810
can continue to build on this

4863
02:59:56,320 --> 02:59:56,570
legacy of education and support

4864
03:00:00,000 --> 03:00:00,250
in a way I feel is so unique in

4865
03:00:03,360 --> 03:00:03,610
this area in this atmosphere I I

4866
03:00:06,160 --> 03:00:06,410
truly want to see a continued

4867
03:00:09,120 --> 03:00:09,370
Jake as our program director

4868
03:00:10,920 --> 03:00:11,170
brings his whole life experience

4869
03:00:14,340 --> 03:00:14,590
and it's really magical to see

4870
03:00:16,700 --> 03:00:16,950
him lead classes and I've

4871
03:00:18,900 --> 03:00:19,150
learned lots so

4872
03:00:20,300 --> 03:00:20,550
we also want to move into

4873
03:00:23,240 --> 03:00:23,490
tech more so and do it in the

4874
03:00:25,540 --> 03:00:25,790
best way possible not relying on

4875
03:00:28,140 --> 03:00:28,390
data centers where not for data

4876
03:00:30,500 --> 03:00:30,750
centers but we see data servers

4877
03:00:33,700 --> 03:00:33,950
perhaps on the second floor to

4878
03:00:36,380 --> 03:00:36,630
make local models right and

4879
03:00:39,880 --> 03:00:40,130
yeah and Jake has done a lot of

4880
03:00:42,280 --> 03:00:42,530
work there he had previously

4881
03:00:43,700 --> 03:00:43,950
worked in the grow with

4882
03:00:46,040 --> 03:00:46,290
Google environment and for

4883
03:00:49,180 --> 03:00:49,430
several years so

4884
03:00:50,780 --> 03:00:51,030
they supported us and actually

4885
03:00:53,720 --> 03:00:53,970
just granted us a little bit of

4886
03:00:55,620 --> 03:00:55,870
money so we can continue that

4887
03:00:57,820 --> 03:00:58,070
work with them and also of

4888
03:01:01,400 --> 03:01:01,650
course agg right growing food

4889
03:01:04,580 --> 03:01:04,830
we have in the resilience hub we

4890
03:01:06,900 --> 03:01:07,150
have a gathering space that

4891
03:01:10,540 --> 03:01:10,790
seats175 people we have a a seed

4892
03:01:14,280 --> 03:01:14,530
vault it was previously a bank

4893
03:01:17,100 --> 03:01:17,350
we've converted that into exceed

4894
03:01:18,259 --> 03:01:18,509
exchange

4895
03:01:22,100 --> 03:01:22,350
vaults so its temperature

4896
03:01:22,460 --> 03:01:22,710
controlled mud all the way on

4897
03:01:25,120 --> 03:01:25,370
the inside and we're having

4898
03:01:27,180 --> 03:01:27,430
furniture we just fundraised

4899
03:01:29,480 --> 03:01:29,730
for this having some custom

4900
03:01:31,380 --> 03:01:31,630
pieces made so it is can be

4901
03:01:34,500 --> 03:01:34,750
usable by community Wales of

4902
03:01:37,180 --> 03:01:37,430
wellness space in the resilience

4903
03:01:38,980 --> 03:01:39,230
hub so that could be

4904
03:01:41,260 --> 03:01:41,510
traditional healing or western

4905
03:01:43,640 --> 03:01:43,890
healing so

4906
03:01:44,720 --> 03:01:44,970
that is our little community and

4907
03:01:48,580 --> 03:01:48,830
we want to continue this work so

4908
03:01:52,420 --> 03:01:52,670
I am just on the I don't

4909
03:01:58,000 --> 03:01:58,250
know what this is the time sorry

4910
03:01:59,780 --> 03:02:00,030
since it's my first

4911
03:02:01,080 --> 03:02:01,330
presentation but we're trying to

4912
03:02:03,820 --> 03:02:04,070
raise a million dollars to help

4913
03:02:05,840 --> 03:02:06,090
with programming and developing

4914
03:02:08,600 --> 03:02:08,850
the next vision and version of

4915
03:02:11,500 --> 03:02:11,750
our entrepreneurial program

4916
03:02:13,900 --> 03:02:14,150
which are called razilian

4917
03:02:15,540 --> 03:02:15,790
circles it's already been tried

4918
03:02:18,040 --> 03:02:18,290
out in Alaska so it is a whole

4919
03:02:21,860 --> 03:02:22,110
wholelistic application

4920
03:02:23,400 --> 03:02:23,650
of entrepreneurial coursework

4921
03:02:27,300 --> 03:02:27,550
while also recognizing that

4922
03:02:29,840 --> 03:02:30,090
there are real needs that our

4923
03:02:31,760 --> 03:02:32,010
entrepreneurs have that are not

4924
03:02:33,540 --> 03:02:33,790
met with that western model so

4925
03:02:36,840 --> 03:02:37,090
that

4926
03:02:38,160 --> 03:02:38,410
the building and just to

4927
03:02:39,920 --> 03:02:40,170
continue the work we do and take

4928
03:02:42,100 --> 03:02:42,350
a chance on people like Akila

4929
03:02:44,700 --> 03:02:44,950
right I mean she was gonna make

4930
03:02:46,600 --> 03:02:46,850
it wherever she was where

4931
03:02:48,460 --> 03:02:48,710
fortunate that she partnered and

4932
03:02:50,780 --> 03:02:51,030
paired with us for this kind

4933
03:02:53,600 --> 03:02:53,850
of work but she's also gonna be

4934
03:02:55,880 --> 03:02:56,130
just fine so that is our

4935
03:03:00,420 --> 03:03:00,670
presentation and just want to

4936
03:03:03,000 --> 03:03:03,250
thank you all for your attention

4937
03:03:06,120 --> 03:03:06,370
so we had to present during

4938
03:03:07,780 --> 03:03:08,030
lunch but yeah thank you

4939
03:03:10,860 --> 03:03:11,110
thank you I remember when

4940
03:03:12,880 --> 03:03:13,130
Sheilla and Melissa were first I

4941
03:03:14,300 --> 03:03:14,550
think out

4942
03:03:16,580 --> 03:03:16,830
I'd like to say it seemed like

4943
03:03:18,320 --> 03:03:18,570
it was just

4944
03:03:24,020 --> 03:03:24,270
before yeah way before I don't

4945
03:03:24,920 --> 03:03:25,170
remember them mentioning bonero

4946
03:03:26,260 --> 03:03:26,510
in in anybody's mind or even

4947
03:03:28,340 --> 03:03:28,590
that thought of it but thank

4948
03:03:29,049 --> 03:03:29,299
youpresentative Lindstrom

4949
03:03:32,720 --> 03:03:32,970
madam chairir I just have some

4950
03:03:33,260 --> 03:03:33,510
quick questions. I'm looking

4951
03:03:35,000 --> 03:03:35,250
at your handout which says core

4952
03:03:37,180 --> 03:03:37,430
annual programming and when you

4953
03:03:39,320 --> 03:03:39,570
talk about access to community

4954
03:03:40,820 --> 03:03:41,070
capital

4955
03:03:42,340 --> 03:03:42,590
the first page of this handout

4956
03:03:44,400 --> 03:03:44,650
talks about you being a venture

4957
03:03:46,120 --> 03:03:46,370
capitalist but then it talks

4958
03:03:48,060 --> 03:03:48,310
about giving micro grants

4959
03:03:51,080 --> 03:03:51,330
nonpredatory loans so what

4960
03:03:53,020 --> 03:03:53,270
are you? I mean you've got

4961
03:03:54,620 --> 03:03:54,870
everything under the sun in

4962
03:03:56,520 --> 03:03:56,770
here. what specifically do you

4963
03:03:58,360 --> 03:03:58,610
do iss it venture capital work?

4964
03:04:00,420 --> 03:04:00,670
is it grants what is it

4965
03:04:03,180 --> 03:04:03,430
Yeah I'll I'll get to share that

4966
03:04:04,760 --> 03:04:05,010
it's an evolution, right? So we

4967
03:04:06,440 --> 03:04:06,690
started as a venture capital

4968
03:04:08,000 --> 03:04:08,250
fund we saw that venture capital

4969
03:04:09,060 --> 03:04:09,310
wasn't fitting our entrepreneur

4970
03:04:10,520 --> 03:04:10,770
sector right so we went into

4971
03:04:12,480 --> 03:04:12,730
CDFI right and doing loans went

4972
03:04:14,740 --> 03:04:14,990
through the program at the time

4973
03:04:17,000 --> 03:04:17,250
around10 years ago we didn't

4974
03:04:18,060 --> 03:04:18,310
have many people interested in

4975
03:04:19,180 --> 03:04:19,430
those loans even though they

4976
03:04:20,440 --> 03:04:20,690
were low interest still that

4977
03:04:22,380 --> 03:04:22,630
that apprehension to take out

4978
03:04:24,300 --> 03:04:24,550
loan right debtbased financing.

4979
03:04:26,040 --> 03:04:26,290
So we went specifically in

4980
03:04:27,500 --> 03:04:27,750
grants and grant support of

4981
03:04:29,280 --> 03:04:29,530
course everyone loves grants

4982
03:04:30,880 --> 03:04:31,130
right nonrecoverable grants

4983
03:04:33,280 --> 03:04:33,530
right now we're looking at being

4984
03:04:35,180 --> 03:04:35,430
an intermediary as we know the

4985
03:04:36,980 --> 03:04:37,230
state investment council the

4986
03:04:38,320 --> 03:04:38,570
strategy that's behind that we

4987
03:04:39,700 --> 03:04:39,950
feel like we're a really strong

4988
03:04:40,700 --> 03:04:40,950
intermediary and we feel like

4989
03:04:42,220 --> 03:04:42,470
we're really strong fiscal

4990
03:04:43,240 --> 03:04:43,490
sponsor that does programming so

4991
03:04:45,860 --> 03:04:46,110
I'll let Liz kind of share that

4992
03:04:48,100 --> 03:04:48,350
we actually also with our

4993
03:04:49,800 --> 03:04:50,050
with our rooted relative fund

4994
03:04:51,340 --> 03:04:51,590
you could also share about that

4995
03:04:52,380 --> 03:04:52,630
structure.

4996
03:04:54,000 --> 03:04:54,250
so I I feel like we're doing a

4997
03:04:56,600 --> 03:04:56,850
redo for everything so we're not

4998
03:04:59,300 --> 03:04:59,550
in venture capital anymore I

4999
03:05:01,740 --> 03:05:01,990
think you know I can argue that

5000
03:05:04,640 --> 03:05:04,890
we're taking risks on people but

5001
03:05:08,160 --> 03:05:08,410
really we're not looking at it

5002
03:05:10,060 --> 03:05:10,310
that way we are one of three

5003
03:05:13,860 --> 03:05:14,110
pilot nonprofits to in arizona

5004
03:05:17,100 --> 03:05:17,350
and one here via RCAc to run

5005
03:05:21,880 --> 03:05:22,130
the rooted relative fund so

5006
03:05:24,000 --> 03:05:24,250
this is one of the community

5007
03:05:26,760 --> 03:05:27,010
capital pieces we offer3% at

5008
03:05:31,760 --> 03:05:32,010
a loans up to $250,000 so we

5009
03:05:38,320 --> 03:05:38,570
have this for three years we're

5010
03:05:40,400 --> 03:05:40,650
just starting our3rd year of it

5011
03:05:43,340 --> 03:05:43,590
we're supporting CJ

5012
03:05:47,020 --> 03:05:47,270
Bernal in Taos pueblo and Don

5013
03:05:50,340 --> 03:05:50,590
butterfly cafe so we came in

5014
03:05:53,420 --> 03:05:53,670
with the

5015
03:05:54,380 --> 03:05:54,630
you know the capital stack he

5016
03:05:56,340 --> 03:05:56,590
needed to convert a restaurant

5017
03:05:59,160 --> 03:05:59,410
outside Taos pueblo we helped

5018
03:06:02,260 --> 03:06:02,510
other make other folks like him

5019
03:06:06,740 --> 03:06:06,990
nicole Arthun who came from

5020
03:06:09,060 --> 03:06:09,310
changing women initiative and is

5021
03:06:11,520 --> 03:06:11,770
starting you to be brief. OK

5022
03:06:18,020 --> 03:06:18,270
OK so it's a3% loan that's what

5023
03:06:18,340 --> 03:06:18,590
you offer

5024
03:06:20,200 --> 03:06:20,450
and is that a flat rate or is

5025
03:06:23,960 --> 03:06:24,210
that does that change with

5026
03:06:25,620 --> 03:06:25,870
interest it is a flat rate3% so

5027
03:06:31,200 --> 03:06:31,450
in case you were before another

5028
03:06:33,120 --> 03:06:33,370
committee through the chair and

5029
03:06:34,640 --> 03:06:34,890
then to the to the rep apologize

5030
03:06:37,522 --> 03:06:37,772
yeah madam chairirpresentative

5031
03:06:41,340 --> 03:06:41,590
Luundstrom apologies

5032
03:06:44,360 --> 03:06:44,610
so instead of the native CDy

5033
03:06:47,640 --> 03:06:47,890
that we're part of we knew that

5034
03:06:49,820 --> 03:06:50,070
we had

5035
03:06:50,240 --> 03:06:50,490
to do something differently so

5036
03:06:52,240 --> 03:06:52,490
we went with two different loans

5037
03:06:54,640 --> 03:06:54,890
that are relationshipbased loans

5038
03:06:57,120 --> 03:06:57,370
one is co op Capital which is on

5039
03:07:01,680 --> 03:07:01,930
air which is a5% fixed rate loan

5040
03:07:03,600 --> 03:07:03,850
up to50,000 dollars the other is

5041
03:07:07,160 --> 03:07:07,410
rooted relative fund which is up

5042
03:07:10,460 --> 03:07:10,710
to 250,000 that's a3% so we have

5043
03:07:15,600 --> 03:07:15,850
the capacity of lending3 million

5044
03:07:16,033 --> 03:07:16,283
dollars

5045
03:07:20,180 --> 03:07:20,430
we've lent so far one.05 million

5046
03:07:25,280 --> 03:07:25,530
over the past two years were now

5047
03:07:28,700 --> 03:07:28,950
building a program around it

5048
03:07:30,740 --> 03:07:30,990
because we see the need so

5049
03:07:32,780 --> 03:07:33,030
relationship based lending

5050
03:07:35,180 --> 03:07:35,430
so that's what we turned it into

5051
03:07:38,800 --> 03:07:39,050
versus just regular bank

5052
03:07:41,320 --> 03:07:41,570
loans or lending

5053
03:07:44,540 --> 03:07:44,790
Yeah I

5054
03:07:45,860 --> 03:07:46,110
madam chairir and presenters, I

5055
03:07:48,520 --> 03:07:48,770
appreciate you bringing this up

5056
03:07:49,940 --> 03:07:50,190
but

5057
03:07:50,140 --> 03:07:50,390
I live in this world so it's not

5058
03:07:54,920 --> 03:07:55,170
that I'm trying to to poke

5059
03:07:57,820 --> 03:07:58,070
holes through this. I just want

5060
03:07:59,000 --> 03:07:59,250
to understand it. I wonders

5061
03:08:00,160 --> 03:08:00,410
understand what you're actually

5062
03:08:01,460 --> 03:08:01,710
doing here because

5063
03:08:02,920 --> 03:08:03,170
when you talk I would take that

5064
03:08:04,740 --> 03:08:04,990
whole venture capital thing out

5065
03:08:06,100 --> 03:08:06,350
of here because the first thing

5066
03:08:07,420 --> 03:08:07,670
I thought when I looked at that

5067
03:08:08,640 --> 03:08:08,890
is how much do you guys get of

5068
03:08:10,160 --> 03:08:10,410
the company? How much do you own

5069
03:08:12,200 --> 03:08:12,450
of the companies that you helped

5070
03:08:12,766 --> 03:08:13,016
them

5071
03:08:14,520 --> 03:08:14,770
but I'm glad you're not doing

5072
03:08:15,520 --> 03:08:15,770
that and I'm glad you're not

5073
03:08:18,610 --> 03:08:18,860
because I can't imagine any

5074
03:08:20,260 --> 03:08:20,510
small entrepreneur coming to you

5075
03:08:22,000 --> 03:08:22,250
and asking for those kind of

5076
03:08:23,140 --> 03:08:23,390
loans either

5077
03:08:24,220 --> 03:08:24,470
so just trying to trying to

5078
03:08:26,720 --> 03:08:26,970
get my arms around what you're

5079
03:08:28,700 --> 03:08:28,950
trying to do now as a nonprofit

5080
03:08:31,480 --> 03:08:31,730
it's hard for us the state as a

5081
03:08:34,780 --> 03:08:35,030
state

5082
03:08:35,630 --> 03:08:35,880
to provide

5083
03:08:36,500 --> 03:08:36,750
capital outlay or even general

5084
03:08:39,600 --> 03:08:39,850
appropriation funds to

5085
03:08:41,240 --> 03:08:41,490
nonprofits you have to have a

5086
03:08:43,660 --> 03:08:43,910
fiscal agent that can accept

5087
03:08:45,720 --> 03:08:45,970
those funds do you have somebody

5088
03:08:47,760 --> 03:08:48,010
like that or did you know

5089
03:08:55,140 --> 03:08:55,390
yes madam chair andres

5090
03:08:59,880 --> 03:09:00,130
Lindstrom where I did not

5091
03:09:00,620 --> 03:09:00,870
know that I needed a physical to

5092
03:09:03,300 --> 03:09:03,550
accept those funds

5093
03:09:07,040 --> 03:09:07,290
we can talk offline about that

5094
03:09:08,660 --> 03:09:08,910
or anyone can help you with

5095
03:09:10,460 --> 03:09:10,710
it but I I was just curious how

5096
03:09:12,020 --> 03:09:12,270
that was going to work we we are

5097
03:09:13,920 --> 03:09:14,170
not allowed

5098
03:09:14,600 --> 03:09:14,850
to give funding directly to

5099
03:09:18,240 --> 03:09:18,490
nonprofits especially for

5100
03:09:20,080 --> 03:09:20,330
capital purposes

5101
03:09:21,900 --> 03:09:22,150
but this programming looks very

5102
03:09:24,440 --> 03:09:24,690
intriguing and I'm surprised

5103
03:09:25,880 --> 03:09:26,130
that it wouldn't fit under some

5104
03:09:27,260 --> 03:09:27,510
of our existing programs

5105
03:09:30,800 --> 03:09:31,050
just just bring that to your

5106
03:09:32,280 --> 03:09:32,530
attention thank you madam chair

5107
03:09:34,380 --> 03:09:34,630
thank you thank youpresentative.

5108
03:09:36,520 --> 03:09:36,770
Any other questions from

5109
03:09:37,300 --> 03:09:37,550
committee members?

5110
03:09:38,240 --> 03:09:38,490
Representative roybarabballero.

5111
03:09:40,260 --> 03:09:40,510
thank you madam chair and thank

5112
03:09:42,340 --> 03:09:42,590
you very much I I do understand

5113
03:09:44,100 --> 03:09:44,350
fully what you're doing. I've

5114
03:09:45,580 --> 03:09:45,830
done this

5115
03:09:46,320 --> 03:09:46,570
probably when it

5116
03:09:47,780 --> 03:09:48,030
we were trailblazing this whole

5117
03:09:50,220 --> 03:09:50,470
concept of community economic

5118
03:09:52,100 --> 03:09:52,350
development

5119
03:09:53,460 --> 03:09:53,710
that approach was done in the

5120
03:09:57,580 --> 03:09:57,830
early1980s actually it was

5121
03:09:59,400 --> 03:09:59,650
an experimental federal

5122
03:10:01,580 --> 03:10:01,830
program that began under the

5123
03:10:05,480 --> 03:10:05,730
Reagan administration's

5124
03:10:07,340 --> 03:10:07,590
self-help concepts

5125
03:10:08,440 --> 03:10:08,690
right that was a long time ago.

5126
03:10:10,600 --> 03:10:10,850
So we set up an entity similar

5127
03:10:12,760 --> 03:10:13,010
to yours in southern end of

5128
03:10:14,680 --> 03:10:14,930
southern New Mexico and

5129
03:10:17,160 --> 03:10:17,410
El Paso region

5130
03:10:20,120 --> 03:10:20,370
excuse me and again as I said it

5131
03:10:22,060 --> 03:10:22,310
was ahead of its time

5132
03:10:23,820 --> 03:10:24,070
it was also sponsored through

5133
03:10:25,780 --> 03:10:26,030
the Development training

5134
03:10:26,540 --> 03:10:26,790
institute out of Baltimore at

5135
03:10:28,160 --> 03:10:28,410
Maryland which is where I got my

5136
03:10:30,260 --> 03:10:30,510
certification madam chairir. So

5137
03:10:32,620 --> 03:10:32,870
I I'm I'm fully aware of what

5138
03:10:36,680 --> 03:10:36,930
you're attempting to do and what

5139
03:10:38,300 --> 03:10:38,550
you're doing actually so I have

5140
03:10:40,500 --> 03:10:40,750
a couple of questions and that

5141
03:10:41,940 --> 03:10:42,190
is

5142
03:10:44,100 --> 03:10:44,350
we do have and I think you

5143
03:10:46,060 --> 03:10:46,310

5144
03:10:48,280 --> 03:10:48,530
state in investment co, can you

5145
03:10:53,960 --> 03:10:54,210

5146
03:10:55,600 --> 03:10:55,850
did you establish a relationship

5147
03:10:57,440 --> 03:10:57,690
with the SIC?

5148
03:10:59,420 --> 03:10:59,670
madam chairirpresentative

5149
03:11:02,060 --> 03:11:02,310
Caballero we are we are

5150
03:11:02,520 --> 03:11:02,770
currently establishing that

5151
03:11:05,400 --> 03:11:05,650
relationship with the state

5152
03:11:06,440 --> 03:11:06,690
investment council we're trying

5153
03:11:07,940 --> 03:11:08,190
to find out what our niche is

5154
03:11:09,540 --> 03:11:09,790
you know we know that they they

5155
03:11:10,400 --> 03:11:10,650
have invested over $2 billion in

5156
03:11:13,340 --> 03:11:13,590
over40 different venture capital

5157
03:11:14,140 --> 03:11:14,390
funds and we're wanting to just

5158
03:11:15,880 --> 03:11:16,130
again build relations find any

5159
03:11:17,520 --> 03:11:17,770
clues that you all have. this is

5160
03:11:19,340 --> 03:11:19,590
exactly why we're here just

5161
03:11:21,020 --> 03:11:21,270
making those introductions

5162
03:11:21,980 --> 03:11:22,230
because we yeah we feel like we

5163
03:11:23,640 --> 03:11:23,890
can help

5164
03:11:24,140 --> 03:11:24,390
the state. thank you madam Chair

5165
03:11:26,500 --> 03:11:26,750
and thank you. I think to

5166
03:11:28,400 --> 03:11:28,650
continue to establish that

5167
03:11:30,100 --> 03:11:30,350
relationship is important also

5168
03:11:32,340 --> 03:11:32,590
the relationship with the New

5169
03:11:33,620 --> 03:11:33,870
Mexico finance Authority I

5170
03:11:36,160 --> 03:11:36,410
think that

5171
03:11:36,860 --> 03:11:37,110
you they will explain to you the

5172
03:11:40,440 --> 03:11:40,690
various steps that would be

5173
03:11:41,900 --> 03:11:42,150
necessary for your entity to be

5174
03:11:44,480 --> 03:11:44,730
able to enter into a

5175
03:11:47,120 --> 03:11:47,370
relationship at the state level

5176
03:11:49,220 --> 03:11:49,470
and address the the questions

5177
03:11:51,200 --> 03:11:51,450
that have come up with by

5178
03:11:52,783 --> 03:11:53,033
Representative Luundstrom and

5179
03:11:54,570 --> 03:11:54,820
other andpresentative Lumstrom

5180
03:11:55,156 --> 03:11:55,406
and

5181
03:11:56,123 --> 03:11:56,373
it it

5182
03:12:00,020 --> 03:12:00,270
it will guide you in terms of

5183
03:12:03,600 --> 03:12:03,850
the steps that you need to

5184
03:12:05,640 --> 03:12:05,890
follow in building that

5185
03:12:07,540 --> 03:12:07,790
relationship because this is a

5186
03:12:09,180 --> 03:12:09,430
fine area of

5187
03:12:10,700 --> 03:12:10,950
concentration you have

5188
03:12:14,280 --> 03:12:14,530
identified the downtown

5189
03:12:15,760 --> 03:12:16,010
Albuquerque revitalization, the

5190
03:12:17,660 --> 03:12:17,910
ethical Ai agricultural work as

5191
03:12:20,040 --> 03:12:20,290
your focus I guess your your

5192
03:12:22,660 --> 03:12:22,910
focus

5193
03:12:23,860 --> 03:12:24,110
in terms of

5194
03:12:25,880 --> 03:12:26,130
fundraising and I think it's

5195
03:12:28,560 --> 03:12:28,810
really important those three

5196
03:12:30,000 --> 03:12:30,250
areas agricultural work madam

5197
03:12:32,060 --> 03:12:32,310
chairir is vitally important

5198
03:12:33,740 --> 03:12:33,990
right now because we've got to

5199
03:12:35,660 --> 03:12:35,910
bring in that indigenous

5200
03:12:38,360 --> 03:12:38,610
knowledge that we have in terms

5201
03:12:40,600 --> 03:12:40,850
of agriculture and food

5202
03:12:42,300 --> 03:12:42,550
preservation

5203
03:12:43,720 --> 03:12:43,970
we're faced with a climate

5204
03:12:45,000 --> 03:12:45,250
crisis we're also faced with an

5205
03:12:48,220 --> 03:12:48,470
unwanted war we're also faced

5206
03:12:50,680 --> 03:12:50,930
with a very

5207
03:12:51,660 --> 03:12:51,910
gloomy future in terms of water

5208
03:12:57,440 --> 03:12:57,690
in terms of pollution of our

5209
03:13:00,760 --> 03:13:01,010
air and land and destruction of

5210
03:13:02,940 --> 03:13:03,190
our land so a lot of these and

5211
03:13:05,160 --> 03:13:05,410
so we've got to bring back that

5212
03:13:07,580 --> 03:13:07,830
indigenous knowledge madam

5213
03:13:09,540 --> 03:13:09,790
chair to help us find ways to

5214
03:13:12,140 --> 03:13:12,390
preserve food for the future

5215
03:13:15,660 --> 03:13:15,910
should we faced and when it's

5216
03:13:19,020 --> 03:13:19,270
not going to happen in our

5217
03:13:19,880 --> 03:13:20,130
lifetime I'm worried about our

5218
03:13:21,380 --> 03:13:21,630
children and grandchildren and

5219
03:13:22,740 --> 03:13:22,990
great grandchild

5220
03:13:23,300 --> 03:13:23,550
re n because they may be faced

5221
03:13:24,940 --> 03:13:25,190
with well I don't know in our

5222
03:13:27,340 --> 03:13:27,590
lifetime we may face invasion of

5223
03:13:29,560 --> 03:13:29,810
our utilities or the outages

5224
03:13:32,020 --> 03:13:32,270
more and more outages and lack

5225
03:13:34,000 --> 03:13:34,250
of water we already heard this

5226
03:13:35,580 --> 03:13:35,830
morning madam chairir that we

5227
03:13:37,460 --> 03:13:37,710
have communities which is

5228
03:13:38,860 --> 03:13:39,110
appalling to me that are

5229
03:13:41,900 --> 03:13:42,150
faced with all those conditions

5230
03:13:43,340 --> 03:13:43,590
still

5231
03:13:44,180 --> 03:13:44,430

small business and the

5249
03:14:25,200 --> 03:14:25,450
administration for Native

5250
03:14:26,540 --> 03:14:26,790
Americans those were all

5251
03:14:27,820 --> 03:14:28,070
entities that we were

5252
03:14:30,720 --> 03:14:30,970
so they were very strong support

5253
03:14:32,680 --> 03:14:32,930
so thank you very much thank you

5254
03:14:34,080 --> 03:14:34,330

madamirpresentative Caballero

5256
03:14:36,660 --> 03:14:36,910
thank you so much for your words

5257
03:14:38,540 --> 03:14:38,790
we also received atl grant

Development to become a

5260
03:14:43,080 --> 03:14:43,330
certified incubator and

5261
03:14:44,600 --> 03:14:44,850
accelerator so that I think that

5262
03:14:45,760 --> 03:14:46,010
also answers your

5263
03:14:46,978 --> 03:14:47,228
questionpresentative Liundstrom

03:14:48,220 --> 03:14:48,470
as well so we definitely want to

5265
03:14:49,980 --> 03:14:50,230
stay in conversations we want

5266
03:14:51,460 --> 03:14:51,710
just more Face time you know we

5267
03:14:52,920 --> 03:14:53,170
hear that a lot of people have

5268
03:14:54,160 --> 03:14:54,410
never heard of New Mexico

5269
03:14:55,140 --> 03:14:55,390
community capital so that's also

5270
03:14:57,060 --> 03:14:57,310
a reason why we're here we want

5271
03:14:58,540 --> 03:14:58,790
to make sure that we're in

5272
03:14:59,420 --> 03:14:59,670
community making the trips out

5273
03:15:01,320 --> 03:15:01,570
to gallup and other locations

5274
03:15:02,960 --> 03:15:03,210
and lastly we also

5275
03:15:04,660 --> 03:15:04,910
helped bidi Baoos Zachariah

5276
03:15:07,480 --> 03:15:07,730
Mary ben buy a four acre farm

5277
03:15:09,740 --> 03:15:09,990
outside of Farmington in aztec,

5278
03:15:11,200 --> 03:15:11,450
New Mexico and help them with

5279
03:15:13,280 --> 03:15:13,530
their freeze drying operation

5280
03:15:15,020 --> 03:15:15,270
and baby food line. so thank

5281
03:15:17,580 --> 03:15:17,830
you.

5282
03:15:18,320 --> 03:15:18,570
thank youpresentative

5283
03:15:20,700 --> 03:15:20,950
any other questions for members

5284
03:15:23,380 --> 03:15:23,630
so

5285
03:15:23,940 --> 03:15:24,190
you want a million dollars to do

5286
03:15:27,480 --> 03:15:27,730
building.

5287
03:15:30,620 --> 03:15:30,870
madam chairir we do but we

5288
03:15:33,460 --> 03:15:33,710
also I think we're a s re kind

5289
03:15:35,640 --> 03:15:35,890
of framing that for programming

5290
03:15:37,040 --> 03:15:37,290
so we're not asking asking for

5291
03:15:38,195 --> 03:15:38,445
capital

5292
03:15:40,560 --> 03:15:40,810
at this point that that that's a

5293
03:15:41,660 --> 03:15:41,910
whole different thing now

5294
03:15:44,940 --> 03:15:45,190
willing to do that but what's

5295
03:15:47,000 --> 03:15:47,250
your background akila what did

5296
03:15:48,740 --> 03:15:48,990
you get a degree at Stanford or

5297
03:15:51,340 --> 03:15:51,590
what what what kind of or yeah

5298
03:15:54,100 --> 03:15:54,350
so I like I said I'm from south

5299
03:15:56,200 --> 03:15:56,450
of Gallup and I primarily live

5300
03:15:57,920 --> 03:15:58,170
there now. I got a bachelor of

5301
03:16:00,240 --> 03:16:00,490
fine arts from Universityiv of

5302
03:16:01,340 --> 03:16:01,590
New Mexico and then I went

5303
03:16:03,840 --> 03:16:04,090
and took care of my grandma into

5304
03:16:04,940 --> 03:16:05,190
hospice up until 2018 and then I

5305
03:16:07,580 --> 03:16:07,830
kind of entered theXR augmented

5306
03:16:09,480 --> 03:16:09,730
reality technology scene

5307
03:16:11,020 --> 03:16:11,270
through a nontraditional route

5308
03:16:13,080 --> 03:16:13,330
so I did a lot of

5309
03:16:14,420 --> 03:16:14,670
like coding boot camps but what

5310
03:16:16,640 --> 03:16:16,890
I did is that I attended

5311
03:16:18,120 --> 03:16:18,370
hackathons at like MIt and

5312
03:16:20,020 --> 03:16:20,270
Stanford joined teams and then

5313
03:16:22,000 --> 03:16:22,250
that's how I won the awards

5314
03:16:23,140 --> 03:16:23,390
there and the reason I ask is

5315
03:16:25,920 --> 03:16:26,170
because when one of the

5316
03:16:27,600 --> 03:16:27,850
granddaughters too wanted

5317
03:16:29,320 --> 03:16:29,570
I believe graphic arts degree

5318
03:16:32,800 --> 03:16:33,050
good didn't have any here in New

5319
03:16:33,860 --> 03:16:34,110
Mexico are higher education

5320
03:16:35,940 --> 03:16:36,190
institutions didn't offer so she

5321
03:16:37,800 --> 03:16:38,050
had to go out of state and what

5322
03:16:39,820 --> 03:16:40,070
I'm reading too with some of our

5323
03:16:41,840 --> 03:16:42,090
higher education institutions

5324
03:16:43,540 --> 03:16:43,790
you went through fine arts but

5325
03:16:46,000 --> 03:16:46,250
you probably just had one or two

5326
03:16:47,460 --> 03:16:47,710
classes in digital or technology

5327
03:16:50,320 --> 03:16:50,570
yeah it was only just a few that

5328
03:16:52,520 --> 03:16:52,770
were offered but that's kind of

5329
03:16:53,820 --> 03:16:54,070
where I really saw coding as

5330
03:16:56,040 --> 03:16:56,290
an avenue for me and then

5331
03:16:58,460 --> 03:16:58,710
that it exactly like

5332
03:17:00,220 --> 03:17:00,470
I had to join a I received an

5333
03:17:02,600 --> 03:17:02,850
immersive technology fellowship

5334
03:17:04,060 --> 03:17:04,310
that enabled me to travel

5335
03:17:05,620 --> 03:17:05,870
between Los Angeles and New York

5336
03:17:07,620 --> 03:17:07,870
City to learn about social

5337
03:17:09,760 --> 03:17:10,010
entrepreneurship coupled withXR

5338
03:17:12,380 --> 03:17:12,630
technologies so that's kind of

5339
03:17:13,140 --> 03:17:13,390
like what really was

5340
03:17:14,340 --> 03:17:14,590
foundational for me and then

5341
03:17:16,480 --> 03:17:16,730
the supporting the supportive

5342
03:17:18,000 --> 03:17:18,250
environment that NMCc provide

5343
03:17:20,640 --> 03:17:20,890
was really

5344
03:17:21,280 --> 03:17:21,530
huge for me because like even

5345
03:17:24,680 --> 03:17:24,930
I've had family members talk

5346
03:17:26,320 --> 03:17:26,570
down on me saying like why are

5347
03:17:28,400 --> 03:17:28,650
you going down this

5348
03:17:29,780 --> 03:17:30,030
nontraditional path like you

5349
03:17:30,660 --> 03:17:30,910
should just get a regular job

5350
03:17:31,820 --> 03:17:32,070
you know like not believing in

5351
03:17:33,200 --> 03:17:33,450
the vision so like I think that

5352
03:17:35,500 --> 03:17:35,750
I think a lot of entrepreneurs

5353
03:17:37,800 --> 03:17:38,050
we can face an environment like

5354
03:17:40,320 --> 03:17:40,570
that but when we step into a

5355
03:17:41,740 --> 03:17:41,990
supportive environment like NMCc

5356
03:17:43,660 --> 03:17:43,910
that I think is a really like

5357
03:17:47,000 --> 03:17:47,250
a local environment that was

5358
03:17:49,220 --> 03:17:49,470
really helpful for me on my

5359
03:17:50,380 --> 03:17:50,630
journey

5360
03:17:51,260 --> 03:17:51,510
and you think that's one thing

5361
03:17:52,640 --> 03:17:52,890
that I'm not I mean we do try to

5362
03:17:54,920 --> 03:17:55,170
do stuff through our career

5363
03:17:56,260 --> 03:17:56,510
technical education

5364
03:17:57,440 --> 03:17:57,690
but when we talk about a lot of

5365
03:18:00,860 --> 03:18:01,110
this doing with the coding and

5366
03:18:02,420 --> 03:18:02,670
online I don't think our

5367
03:18:03,700 --> 03:18:03,950
curriculum

5368
03:18:06,960 --> 03:18:07,210
still with the traditional

5369
03:18:08,240 --> 03:18:08,490
route but we're not adapting

5370
03:18:11,720 --> 03:18:11,970
very much very quickly and I

5371
03:18:13,820 --> 03:18:14,070
think that's where we end up

5372
03:18:15,060 --> 03:18:15,310
lacking very much behind. Yeah.

5373
03:18:17,460 --> 03:18:17,710
so one of my funders that is

5374
03:18:19,620 --> 03:18:19,870
actually most likely gonna be

5375
03:18:21,580 --> 03:18:21,830
renewed before the end of the

5376
03:18:22,920 --> 03:18:23,170
year and that's the fiscal

5377
03:18:24,060 --> 03:18:24,310
the funding went through the

5378
03:18:25,720 --> 03:18:25,970
these guys as a fiscal agent

5379
03:18:28,960 --> 03:18:29,210
that is the next mission is

5380
03:18:30,760 --> 03:18:31,010
programming especially on the

5381
03:18:32,200 --> 03:18:32,450
Navajo Nation and then

5382
03:18:34,100 --> 03:18:34,350
there's also another source of

5383
03:18:34,804 --> 03:18:35,054
fun

5384
03:18:36,840 --> 03:18:37,090
ding that glittering world girl

5385
03:18:37,920 --> 03:18:38,170
is tapping into to bring

5386
03:18:41,700 --> 03:18:41,950
technologyXR technology

5387
03:18:42,200 --> 03:18:42,450
programming associated with

5388
03:18:44,000 --> 03:18:44,250
mural creation so it's like art

5389
03:18:45,860 --> 03:18:46,110
and technology like s steam

5390
03:18:48,840 --> 03:18:49,090
into Bernnailo County as well so

5391
03:18:50,560 --> 03:18:50,810
yeah and I think that with

5392
03:18:53,200 --> 03:18:53,450
with the budget cuts that

5393
03:18:56,400 --> 03:18:56,650
schools have been seeing this

5394
03:18:57,980 --> 03:18:58,230
could be a model too that

5395
03:18:59,480 --> 03:18:59,730
programming that goes into

5396
03:19:01,720 --> 03:19:01,970
schools and that they don't have

5397
03:19:03,100 --> 03:19:03,350
to fund it themselves so you did

5398
03:19:06,040 --> 03:19:06,290
receive

5399
03:19:06,400 --> 03:19:06,650
money from the nation and that's

5400
03:19:07,900 --> 03:19:08,150
the thing I'm kind of so the the

5401
03:19:09,020 --> 03:19:09,270
bit confused about in some sense

5402
03:19:12,400 --> 03:19:12,650
because you're saying you're the

5403
03:19:13,560 --> 03:19:13,810
only native American nonprofit

5404
03:19:15,100 --> 03:19:15,350
yes you're probably the only

5405
03:19:17,540 --> 03:19:17,790
nonprofit but our tribes nations

5406
03:19:19,820 --> 03:19:20,070
and pueblos do there do you have

5407
03:19:22,180 --> 03:19:22,430
their own economic development

5408
03:19:23,200 --> 03:19:23,450
money but you did not receive it

5409
03:19:25,820 --> 03:19:26,070
or you didn't qualify for it. I

5410
03:19:28,380 --> 03:19:28,630
madam chairir, I I have not

5411
03:19:32,720 --> 03:19:32,970
received money from the Navajo

5412
03:19:34,240 --> 03:19:34,490
Nation.

5413
03:19:35,800 --> 03:19:36,050
you didn't qualify or you didn't

5414
03:19:37,240 --> 03:19:37,490
never applied or what what what

5415
03:19:39,560 --> 03:19:39,810
do you to be clear I did receive

5416
03:19:41,800 --> 03:19:42,050
their the hardship assistance

5417
03:19:43,080 --> 03:19:43,330
that was for the artisans

5418
03:19:46,200 --> 03:19:46,450
during COVID that's the that's

5419
03:19:48,040 --> 03:19:48,290
what I've received from the

5420
03:19:48,940 --> 03:19:49,190
Navajo Nation that was for

5421
03:19:51,160 --> 03:19:51,410
small businesses and artisans

5422
03:19:52,840 --> 03:19:53,090
for COID during theOID pandemic

5423
03:19:55,380 --> 03:19:55,630
but I honestly have not even

5424
03:19:59,120 --> 03:19:59,370
tried to see if I could apply

5425
03:20:00,980 --> 03:20:01,230
for funding from the Navajo

5426
03:20:02,500 --> 03:20:02,750
Nation past that

5427
03:20:04,680 --> 03:20:04,930
so then that's the thing I'm

5428
03:20:06,000 --> 03:20:06,250
wondering too with the nonpro

5429
03:20:08,820 --> 03:20:09,070
you know a nonprofit as far as a

5430
03:20:09,200 --> 03:20:09,450
resource too is that the funding

5431
03:20:12,460 --> 03:20:12,710
also

5432
03:20:16,300 --> 03:20:16,550
that you also put them in touch

5433
03:20:17,700 --> 03:20:17,950
with their own tribes nations

5434
03:20:18,960 --> 03:20:19,210
and publiclos because they find

5435
03:20:20,420 --> 03:20:20,670
that as the fiscal agent that's

5436
03:20:22,060 --> 03:20:22,310
where our money would be

5437
03:20:22,980 --> 03:20:23,230
funneled to to LEA

5438
03:20:24,860 --> 03:20:25,110
in that way and that our tribes

5439
03:20:27,480 --> 03:20:27,730
nations of pueblos can apply for

5440
03:20:29,280 --> 03:20:29,530
it to implement these programs

5441
03:20:31,200 --> 03:20:31,450
within there as far as

5442
03:20:32,940 --> 03:20:33,190
sovereignty and when you were

5443
03:20:35,120 --> 03:20:35,370
speaking about just women

5444
03:20:36,220 --> 03:20:36,470
receiving something like that

5445
03:20:38,200 --> 03:20:38,450
but that I don't think is

5446
03:20:39,900 --> 03:20:40,150
something we do in general we

5447
03:20:41,820 --> 03:20:42,070
try to it's not about sex it's

5448
03:20:44,380 --> 03:20:44,630
just about you know making

5449
03:20:46,240 --> 03:20:46,490
sure everybody has that

5450
03:20:47,280 --> 03:20:47,530
opportunity equal opportunity

5451
03:20:49,160 --> 03:20:49,410
for the funding so very

5452
03:20:51,840 --> 03:20:52,090
interesting but I like very

5453
03:20:53,760 --> 03:20:54,010
much needed for what you're

5454
03:20:54,680 --> 03:20:54,930
doing

5455
03:20:55,640 --> 03:20:55,890
but you know we need further

5456
03:20:56,600 --> 03:20:56,850
discussion and clarity so I do

5457
03:20:58,500 --> 03:20:58,750
offer you to you know talk to

5458
03:21:00,680 --> 03:21:00,930
our members here to to

5459
03:21:08,300 --> 03:21:08,550
ation and even as far as

5460
03:21:09,900 --> 03:21:10,150
moving forward in need I don't

5461
03:21:11,220 --> 03:21:11,470
know if you have any closing

5462
03:21:11,940 --> 03:21:12,190
comments

5463
03:21:15,400 --> 03:21:15,650
madam chairirpresentative

really important work to us and

5468
03:21:29,980 --> 03:21:30,230
I feel that

03:21:31,820 --> 03:21:32,070
we do an amazing heartfelt

5470
03:21:36,360 --> 03:21:36,610
job with community and we want

5471
03:21:40,960 --> 03:21:41,210
to see it continue so if there

5472
03:21:43,960 --> 03:21:44,210
are opportunities you know of

5473
03:21:46,760 --> 03:21:47,010
that we don't know and to be

5474
03:21:49,800 --> 03:21:50,050
honest I am not as familiar. I

5475
03:21:53,620 --> 03:21:53,870

5476
03:21:56,700 --> 03:21:56,950

with our people here

November of last year

5514
03:23:59,110 --> 03:23:59,360
just about a month ago I

5515
03:24:00,710 --> 03:24:00,960
received an invitation through

03:24:02,850 --> 03:24:03,100
email to sit before the

5517
03:24:04,310 --> 03:24:04,560
committee and express some

5518
03:24:05,870 --> 03:24:06,120
thoughts about believe it was

5519
03:24:07,810 --> 03:24:08,060
capital outlay

5520
03:24:09,350 --> 03:24:09,600
I shared that invitation with

5521
03:24:10,670 --> 03:24:10,920
our chapter officials and Mr

5522
03:24:14,330 --> 03:24:14,580
Daniel Lee our chapter president

5523
03:24:15,830 --> 03:24:16,080
is here with me today. I have

5524
03:24:17,890 --> 03:24:18,140
not come with a script per se

5525
03:24:20,290 --> 03:24:20,540
but would have come with is a

5526
03:24:21,870 --> 03:24:22,120
message and a couple of

5527
03:24:23,330 --> 03:24:23,580
inquiries so I'll allow Mr. Lee

5528
03:24:25,630 --> 03:24:25,880

5531
03:24:34,720 --> 03:24:34,970
inviting us and then

5532
03:24:38,240 --> 03:24:38,490
it's like Reagan said my CSE

5533
03:24:39,520 --> 03:24:39,770
and

5534
03:24:41,420 --> 03:24:41,670
then do a little bit of a

5535
03:24:42,440 --> 03:24:42,690
presentation and we'll just do

5536
03:24:45,560 --> 03:24:45,810
it offhands instead of having

5537
03:24:47,440 --> 03:24:47,690
notes and all that so

5538
03:24:48,540 --> 03:24:48,790
thank you

5539
03:24:54,190 --> 03:24:54,440
Again madam chair members of the

5540
03:24:55,530 --> 03:24:55,780
committee representing

5541
03:24:58,170 --> 03:24:58,420
mannuitto chapter first and

5542
03:24:59,710 --> 03:24:59,960
foremost we are a smaller

5543
03:25:02,210 --> 03:25:02,460
chapter our our service area

5544
03:25:04,850 --> 03:25:05,100
probably covers just under1,000

5545
03:25:06,426 --> 03:25:06,676
individuals now who are

5546
03:25:08,730 --> 03:25:08,980
individuals we have numerous

5547
03:25:11,670 --> 03:25:11,920
capital outlay projects we have

5548
03:25:14,390 --> 03:25:14,640
I believe14 projects upwards of

5549
03:25:17,290 --> 03:25:17,540
$6 million that are in the in in

5550
03:25:19,530 --> 03:25:19,780
the cooker so to speak we have a

5551
03:25:21,810 --> 03:25:22,060
number that are very very active

5552
03:25:23,330 --> 03:25:23,580
we have a number

5553
03:25:24,010 --> 03:25:24,260
that are being delayed the

5554
03:25:26,970 --> 03:25:27,220
biggest portion of the delayed

5555
03:25:28,390 --> 03:25:28,640
projects falls upon our

5556
03:25:30,010 --> 03:25:30,260
electrification projects

5557
03:25:32,390 --> 03:25:32,640
the biggest

5558
03:25:33,210 --> 03:25:33,460
obstacle for our electrification

5559
03:25:36,370 --> 03:25:36,620
power line residential projects

5560
03:25:38,310 --> 03:25:38,560
is right of way access given

5561
03:25:41,770 --> 03:25:42,020
the various land statuses that

5562
03:25:43,270 --> 03:25:43,520
we have in your manually to

5563
03:25:44,290 --> 03:25:44,540
chapter of course we're on

5564
03:25:45,710 --> 03:25:45,960
Navajo Trust land we're also on

5565
03:25:47,730 --> 03:25:47,980
allotted land we are on state

5566
03:25:50,090 --> 03:25:50,340
land we have a number of issues

5567
03:25:52,010 --> 03:25:52,260
that are very very challenging

5568
03:25:54,070 --> 03:25:54,320
so getting the rights of way is

5569
03:25:56,390 --> 03:25:56,640
a very very extensive experience

5570
03:25:59,430 --> 03:25:59,680
I am looking right now at one

5571
03:26:02,390 --> 03:26:02,640
particular project that has

5572
03:26:03,830 --> 03:26:04,080
been on the books for manuallito

5573
03:26:06,970 --> 03:26:07,220
chapters since 2008 and the

5574
03:26:09,930 --> 03:26:10,180
biggest hindrance there is the

5575
03:26:11,350 --> 03:26:11,600
right of way access. now the

5576
03:26:14,362 --> 03:26:14,612
the contracting company

5577
03:26:16,370 --> 03:26:16,620
continental Divide has done

5578
03:26:17,110 --> 03:26:17,360
their share of reaching out.

5579
03:26:18,710 --> 03:26:18,960
They are in now in the fourth

5580
03:26:21,430 --> 03:26:21,680
round of sending out appeals for

5581
03:26:24,570 --> 03:26:24,820
right of way through allottees

5582
03:26:26,610 --> 03:26:26,860
and things of that nature. So

5583
03:26:28,290 --> 03:26:28,540
and where I'm going with this is

5584
03:26:30,050 --> 03:26:30,300
I I would like to see some sort

5585
03:26:33,510 --> 03:26:33,760
of a

5586
03:26:33,730 --> 03:26:33,980
an amendment or an addressing of

5587
03:26:36,850 --> 03:26:37,100
an issue here in these kinds of

5588
03:26:38,870 --> 03:26:39,120
situations where where a lottes

5589
03:26:41,870 --> 03:26:42,120
and other land issues are really

5590
03:26:44,490 --> 03:26:44,740
an obstacle to getting the right

5591
03:26:46,910 --> 03:26:47,160
of way in for these

5592
03:26:47,870 --> 03:26:48,120
electrification projects we

5593
03:26:50,170 --> 03:26:50,420
have4 clients on this particular

5594
03:26:51,270 --> 03:26:51,520
project that have been waiting

5595
03:26:52,590 --> 03:26:52,840
for power for

5596
03:26:54,250 --> 03:26:54,500
a number of years 20 since 2008

5597
03:26:57,750 --> 03:26:58,000
and if there if there could be

5598
03:26:59,050 --> 03:26:59,300
some some investigatory

5599
03:27:01,170 --> 03:27:01,420
committee or something perhaps

5600
03:27:02,690 --> 03:27:02,940
we can offer some solutions

5601
03:27:05,030 --> 03:27:05,280
perhaps manuallito chapter

5602
03:27:06,510 --> 03:27:06,760
could be more forward more more

5603
03:27:08,570 --> 03:27:08,820
proactive in reaching out to

5604
03:27:12,490 --> 03:27:12,740
the allottees but the biggest

5605
03:27:15,930 --> 03:27:16,180
obstacle that we're seeing is

5606
03:27:17,730 --> 03:27:17,980
right of way just gaining

5607
03:27:20,730 --> 03:27:20,980
right of way

5608
03:27:23,410 --> 03:27:23,660
whether whether it be you know

5609
03:27:26,290 --> 03:27:26,540
the the allottes on the

5610
03:27:26,570 --> 03:27:26,820
allotment lands there are some

5611
03:27:28,210 --> 03:27:28,460
state land issues we we're

5612
03:27:28,877 --> 03:27:29,127
just

5613
03:27:33,250 --> 03:27:33,500
I'm going to say we're we're a

5614
03:27:34,810 --> 03:27:35,060
little frustrated at it of

5615
03:27:36,730 --> 03:27:36,980
course they're there are there

5616
03:27:37,350 --> 03:27:37,600
are other issues there are there

5617
03:27:39,210 --> 03:27:39,460
are some systems systemic issues

5618
03:27:40,890 --> 03:27:41,140
within the the processes

5619
03:27:43,870 --> 03:27:44,120
withnavo Nation there are other

5620
03:27:45,290 --> 03:27:45,540
issues there but the biggest

5621
03:27:46,330 --> 03:27:46,580
problem we have is gaining right

5622
03:27:48,810 --> 03:27:49,060
of way so for the

5623
03:27:50,170 --> 03:27:50,420
electrification

5624
03:27:52,490 --> 03:27:52,740
secondly I would appeal to

5625
03:27:55,470 --> 03:27:55,720
this committee

5626
03:27:58,130 --> 03:27:58,380
to advocate for a voice in an

5627
03:28:02,430 --> 03:28:02,680
area called manualito Big House

5628
03:28:04,870 --> 03:28:05,120
Ruins. It is a national historic

5629
03:28:07,390 --> 03:28:07,640
landmark there are3 families

5630
03:28:11,090 --> 03:28:11,340
that have been in that area

5631
03:28:14,510 --> 03:28:14,760
that that that that that's their

5632
03:28:15,590 --> 03:28:15,840
homeland and they do not have

5633
03:28:18,870 --> 03:28:19,120
the basic

5634
03:28:20,130 --> 03:28:20,380
infrastructure needed they do

5635
03:28:23,170 --> 03:28:23,420
not have water lines they do not

5636
03:28:25,030 --> 03:28:25,280
have power

5637
03:28:26,850 --> 03:28:27,100
I am meeting Wednesday with

5638
03:28:29,570 --> 03:28:29,820
these families on what I have

5639
03:28:31,730 --> 03:28:31,980
coined as the big house task

5640
03:28:35,650 --> 03:28:35,900
forcece. What I want to do is

5641
03:28:37,010 --> 03:28:37,260
gain an audience with our

5642
03:28:40,423 --> 03:28:40,673
Navonation source and

5643
03:28:42,130 --> 03:28:42,380
Developmentittee to see if we

5644
03:28:42,930 --> 03:28:43,180
can't advocate that this

5645
03:28:45,330 --> 03:28:45,580
property which is on state land

5646
03:28:47,890 --> 03:28:48,140
there is on the fringes of this

5647
03:28:50,210 --> 03:28:50,460
property

5648
03:28:50,750 --> 03:28:51,000
a power line

5649
03:28:53,170 --> 03:28:53,420
one of the families on this

5650
03:28:54,730 --> 03:28:54,980
property does have power

5651
03:28:56,810 --> 03:28:57,060
but there are two other families

5652
03:28:58,110 --> 03:28:58,360
there that have no power and

5653
03:28:59,470 --> 03:28:59,720
have no water. the families that

5654
03:29:01,810 --> 03:29:02,060
are that are without the water

5655
03:29:03,470 --> 03:29:03,720
they do

5656
03:29:04,290 --> 03:29:04,540
live on a cistern system

5657
03:29:08,510 --> 03:29:08,760
but the fellow's getting old and

5658
03:29:10,870 --> 03:29:11,120
he can't operate that cistern

5659
03:29:12,910 --> 03:29:13,160
and these things these are not

5660
03:29:14,430 --> 03:29:14,680
gonna change so my petition here

5661
03:29:16,810 --> 03:29:17,060
particularly tends to a voice

5662
03:29:21,630 --> 03:29:21,880
perhaps a voice with the state

5663
03:29:23,210 --> 03:29:23,460
land board with from our

5664
03:29:25,190 --> 03:29:25,440
constituents there at manualito

5665
03:29:29,150 --> 03:29:29,400
through thenavo Nation Resource

5666
03:29:29,730 --> 03:29:29,980
and Development Committee. I

5667
03:29:31,470 --> 03:29:31,720
don't pretend to be a a

5668
03:29:32,970 --> 03:29:33,220
magnanimous voice for everybody

5669
03:29:35,650 --> 03:29:35,900
but I believe if we have the

5670
03:29:36,930 --> 03:29:37,180
backing of our own council that

5671
03:29:38,590 --> 03:29:38,840
we can talk to the the New

5672
03:29:40,030 --> 03:29:40,280
Mexico State Land Commission and

5673
03:29:41,470 --> 03:29:41,720
through this committee here

5674
03:29:42,810 --> 03:29:43,060
perhaps gain

5675
03:29:43,170 --> 03:29:43,420
gain some ground on bringing

5676
03:29:48,090 --> 03:29:48,340
infrastructure to these families

5677
03:29:49,670 --> 03:29:49,920
that live on the on the the

5678
03:29:51,490 --> 03:29:51,740
perimeters of this historic

5679
03:29:54,290 --> 03:29:54,540
landmark so those are my two

5680
03:29:56,550 --> 03:29:56,800
messages today

5681
03:30:01,260 --> 03:30:01,510
Yeah I like to add to that we

5682
03:30:04,360 --> 03:30:04,610
did contact

5683
03:30:06,382 --> 03:30:06,632
Santape

5684
03:30:08,500 --> 03:30:08,750
and

5685
03:30:10,500 --> 03:30:10,750
they just told us to get

5686
03:30:12,420 --> 03:30:12,670
representative like you guys and

5687
03:30:14,480 --> 03:30:14,730
saying that ok

5688
03:30:17,900 --> 03:30:18,150
we we know about the spartan

5689
03:30:20,360 --> 03:30:20,610
all this

5690
03:30:22,780 --> 03:30:23,030
other stuff like GPS and all

5691
03:30:25,380 --> 03:30:25,630
that and you know you guys know

5692
03:30:27,880 --> 03:30:28,130
whereabouts this place is then

5693
03:30:32,740 --> 03:30:32,990
they recommendations and then

5694
03:30:34,140 --> 03:30:34,390
that way they can somebody from

5695
03:30:36,660 --> 03:30:36,910
the commission can override it

5696
03:30:38,200 --> 03:30:38,450
and that's the reason why we're

5697
03:30:40,400 --> 03:30:40,650
here and

5698
03:30:42,940 --> 03:30:43,190
even with the roads that's the

5699
03:30:45,140 --> 03:30:45,390
reason why some of our capital

5700
03:30:46,680 --> 03:30:46,930
outlay went and reverted back

5701
03:30:48,520 --> 03:30:48,770
and we tried working

5702
03:30:51,220 --> 03:30:51,470
with the

5703
03:30:54,680 --> 03:30:54,930
county commissioners

5704
03:30:55,960 --> 03:30:56,210
and then

5705
03:30:57,100 --> 03:30:57,350
some of our

5706
03:31:00,300 --> 03:31:00,550
projects

5707
03:31:00,940 --> 03:31:01,190
went and reverted back and it's

5708
03:31:03,340 --> 03:31:03,590
due to the consents like he said

5709
03:31:07,880 --> 03:31:08,130
well right away and then now

5710
03:31:09,860 --> 03:31:10,110
they said that they revoked it

5711
03:31:11,860 --> 03:31:12,110
all the

5712
03:31:13,820 --> 03:31:14,070
MOUs so

5713
03:31:15,100 --> 03:31:15,350
we don't know

5714
03:31:17,640 --> 03:31:17,890
you know what's going to happen

5715
03:31:19,340 --> 03:31:19,590
now because a lot of people that

5716
03:31:21,280 --> 03:31:21,530
are in a community has

5717
03:31:24,180 --> 03:31:24,430
kids that go to school

5718
03:31:27,140 --> 03:31:27,390
and at the same time they

5719
03:31:29,680 --> 03:31:29,930
commute

5720
03:31:30,140 --> 03:31:30,390
to gallup

5721
03:31:32,830 --> 03:31:33,080
so

5722
03:31:35,050 --> 03:31:35,300
with that being said

5723
03:31:37,270 --> 03:31:37,520
we should like to have them help

5724
03:31:40,170 --> 03:31:40,420
from you guys

5725
03:31:40,830 --> 03:31:41,080
as far as

5726
03:31:44,130 --> 03:31:44,380
and doing all this other stuff

5727
03:31:46,490 --> 03:31:46,740
and then that way we can move on

5728
03:31:48,130 --> 03:31:48,380
with our projects and improve on

5729
03:31:50,530 --> 03:31:50,780
some of the roads and provide

5730
03:31:52,950 --> 03:31:53,200
service like water service and

5731
03:31:55,390 --> 03:31:55,640
power line to these community

5732
03:31:57,470 --> 03:31:57,720
members that's what we're asking

5733
03:31:59,550 --> 03:31:59,800
of today and at the same time

5734
03:32:04,170 --> 03:32:04,420
on the other hand

5735
03:32:06,650 --> 03:32:06,900
my wife is a teacher in Tohachi

5736
03:32:10,570 --> 03:32:10,820
and they moved us to

5737
03:32:12,650 --> 03:32:12,900
twin lakes and we do have issues

5738
03:32:16,670 --> 03:32:16,920
with the power line and water

5739
03:32:19,090 --> 03:32:19,340
there's no power there's no

5740
03:32:21,090 --> 03:32:21,340
pressure in the water most of

5741
03:32:23,530 --> 03:32:23,780
the time

5742
03:32:24,010 --> 03:32:24,260
and then in the middle of my

5743
03:32:27,430 --> 03:32:27,680
wife doing her lesson plan

5744
03:32:30,070 --> 03:32:30,320
the power goes off there's no

5745
03:32:32,850 --> 03:32:33,100
surcharge or anything we

5746
03:32:35,250 --> 03:32:35,500
complained about that so many

5747
03:32:37,530 --> 03:32:37,780
times

5748
03:32:38,670 --> 03:32:38,920
every time it goes out we

5749
03:32:40,250 --> 03:32:40,500
complain to

5750
03:32:41,985 --> 03:32:42,235
NTUA

5751
03:32:44,430 --> 03:32:44,680
they had done nothing

5752
03:32:45,190 --> 03:32:45,440
and even our our street light

5753
03:32:49,310 --> 03:32:49,560
right outside our trailer

5754
03:32:50,870 --> 03:32:51,120
it just goes out they haven't

5755
03:32:53,390 --> 03:32:53,640
done nothing about it

5756
03:32:54,610 --> 03:32:54,860
so

5757
03:32:57,760 --> 03:32:58,010
that's

5758
03:32:58,300 --> 03:32:58,550
the other thing that I wanted to

5759
03:33:00,260 --> 03:33:00,510
add to twin Lakes that were

5760
03:33:02,960 --> 03:33:03,210
here present

5761
03:33:04,160 --> 03:33:04,410

on to our next Bille and then

5766
03:33:15,060 --> 03:33:15,310
I don't know if Peter is

5767
03:33:20,760 --> 03:33:21,010
Oh yeah so this is public

5768
03:33:22,820 --> 03:33:23,070
comment so we don't want to ask

5769
03:33:23,820 --> 03:33:24,070
questions but I'll talk

5770
03:33:41,980 --> 03:33:42,230

reduce seizures and improve a

5792
03:34:21,420 --> 03:34:21,670
patient's quality of life. it's

5793
03:34:23,260 --> 03:34:23,510
been approved by the FDA and has

5794
03:34:24,940 --> 03:34:25,190
been been available for ir0

5795
03:34:26,580 --> 03:34:26,830
years. Today what I'd like to

5796
03:34:28,540 --> 03:34:28,790
share more than the the the VNS

5797
03:34:30,600 --> 03:34:30,850
system itself is the impact that

5798
03:34:33,140 --> 03:34:33,390
people living with drug

5799
03:34:34,420 --> 03:34:34,670
resistant epilepsy in a face in

5800
03:34:37,400 --> 03:34:37,650
New Mexico when most people hear

5801
03:34:39,440 --> 03:34:39,690
that word epilepsy they think

5802
03:34:40,940 --> 03:34:41,190
this is a

5803
03:34:41,400 --> 03:34:41,650
condition that can be controlled

5804
03:34:42,640 --> 03:34:42,890
primarily by medication but the

5805
03:34:44,540 --> 03:34:44,790
sad truth is about1 in3

5806
03:34:46,620 --> 03:34:46,870
individuals is not treatable or

5807
03:34:49,280 --> 03:34:49,530
they are not treatable by

5808
03:34:50,460 --> 03:34:50,710
medications and so despite

5809
03:34:52,880 --> 03:34:53,130
trying several anti seizure

5810
03:34:54,900 --> 03:34:55,150
therapies and medications

5811
03:34:57,000 --> 03:34:57,250
these patients are considered to

5812
03:34:58,560 --> 03:34:58,810
have what is called drug

5813
03:34:59,560 --> 03:34:59,810
resistant epilepsy DRE and

5814
03:35:02,720 --> 03:35:02,970
for these patients a seizure is

5815
03:35:04,480 --> 03:35:04,730
more than just an event it can

5816
03:35:06,220 --> 03:35:06,470
actually be life threatening

5817
03:35:07,580 --> 03:35:07,830
and lead to death. as this

5818
03:35:10,640 --> 03:35:10,890
challenge dis

5819
03:35:12,160 --> 03:35:12,410
p ro port ion ate ly affects

5820
03:35:12,420 --> 03:35:12,670
some of New Mexico's most

5821
03:35:13,800 --> 03:35:14,050
vulnerable populations and

5822
03:35:16,220 --> 03:35:16,470
that is why we are in particular

5823
03:35:18,200 --> 03:35:18,450
speaking about this today in

5824
03:35:19,960 --> 03:35:20,210
front of this committeesearch

5825
03:35:21,420 --> 03:35:21,670
shows that Native American

5826
03:35:22,740 --> 03:35:22,990
communities experience a greater

5827
03:35:24,420 --> 03:35:24,670
burden of epilepsy and epilepsy

5828
03:35:27,000 --> 03:35:27,250
related disparities than many

5829
03:35:29,300 --> 03:35:29,550
other populations in fact the

5830
03:35:30,800 --> 03:35:31,050
Navajo nation it is estimated

5831
03:35:32,380 --> 03:35:32,630
alone has about1600 cases of

5832
03:35:36,680 --> 03:35:36,930
drug resistant epilepsy yet

5833
03:35:39,160 --> 03:35:39,410
despite this need New Mexico has

5834
03:35:40,940 --> 03:35:41,190
been left

5835
03:35:41,520 --> 03:35:41,770
with an extraordinary access

5836
03:35:43,380 --> 03:35:43,630
problem and a challenge that

5837
03:35:45,720 --> 03:35:45,970
we still face today. The

5838
03:35:47,560 --> 03:35:47,810
Universityiv of New Mexico

5839
03:35:48,700 --> 03:35:48,950
hospitalspital is the only

5840
03:35:49,680 --> 03:35:49,930
hospital in our state performing

5841
03:35:51,620 --> 03:35:51,870
VNS implant procedures and we

5842
03:35:54,960 --> 03:35:55,210
may soon lose them as the

5843
03:35:58,700 --> 03:35:58,950
only provider in the state the

5844
03:36:00,700 --> 03:36:00,950
reason is simple the low

5845
03:36:02,860 --> 03:36:03,110
medicaid reimbursement to

5846
03:36:05,100 --> 03:36:05,350
hospitals for the procedure is

5847
03:36:06,760 --> 03:36:07,010
far too low and has not changed

5848
03:36:09,240 --> 03:36:09,490
since 2014 when

5849
03:36:11,300 --> 03:36:11,550
an entire state depends on a

5850
03:36:12,680 --> 03:36:12,930
single hospital for access to

5851
03:36:15,080 --> 03:36:15,330
specialized therapy patients and

5852
03:36:16,500 --> 03:36:16,750
families often face of course

5853
03:36:18,300 --> 03:36:18,550
significant barriers manyy must

5854
03:36:20,260 --> 03:36:20,510
travel long distances multiple

5855
03:36:22,100 --> 03:36:22,350
times consultations surgery

5856
03:36:24,860 --> 03:36:25,110
and followup care. Some require

5857
03:36:26,840 --> 03:36:27,090
transportation assistance. this

5858
03:36:28,780 --> 03:36:29,030
includes airlifts from places

5859
03:36:30,960 --> 03:36:31,210
like Gallup others simply do

5860
03:36:33,400 --> 03:36:33,650
not have the financial means and

5861
03:36:35,060 --> 03:36:35,310
the family support of logistical

5862
03:36:36,880 --> 03:36:37,130
ability to make these trips and

5863
03:36:38,420 --> 03:36:38,670
so wait times again as we

5864
03:36:41,460 --> 03:36:41,710
all know for specialists in the

5865
03:36:42,860 --> 03:36:43,110
state can be extraordinarily

5866
03:36:44,160 --> 03:36:44,410
long. All of these barriers

5867
03:36:47,060 --> 03:36:47,310
result in patients continually

5868
03:36:48,900 --> 03:36:49,150
cycling through the emergency

5869
03:36:50,340 --> 03:36:50,590
rooms and through hospital

5870
03:36:51,800 --> 03:36:52,050
admissions resulting in much

5871
03:36:54,020 --> 03:36:54,270
higher costs for not only the

5872
03:36:55,500 --> 03:36:55,750
families but for our own

5873
03:36:58,000 --> 03:36:58,250
healthcare authority here in New

5874
03:36:58,900 --> 03:36:59,150
Mexico because the system just

5875
03:37:00,440 --> 03:37:00,690
keeps recycling these folks

5876
03:37:02,420 --> 03:37:02,670
rather than treating what is

5877
03:37:04,000 --> 03:37:04,250
there

5878
03:37:04,680 --> 03:37:04,930
what we know is that there is

5879
03:37:07,660 --> 03:37:07,910
funding through medicaid

5880
03:37:09,100 --> 03:37:09,350
available and actually the state

5881
03:37:11,420 --> 03:37:11,670
is leaving dollars on the table

5882
03:37:13,400 --> 03:37:13,650
by not getting full

5883
03:37:14,560 --> 03:37:14,810
reimbursement for this

5884
03:37:16,240 --> 03:37:16,490
procedure. we have this issue

5885
03:37:18,840 --> 03:37:19,090
now before thelfC and have put

5886
03:37:21,120 --> 03:37:21,370
that there we may hopefully

5887
03:37:24,460 --> 03:37:24,710
call on Representative

5888
03:37:26,140 --> 03:37:26,390
Lindstrom and Representative

5889
03:37:26,700 --> 03:37:26,950
Herndon again to carry

5890
03:37:28,060 --> 03:37:28,310
legislation just to bolster that

5891
03:37:29,920 --> 03:37:30,170
support in thelfC so this

5892
03:37:34,000 --> 03:37:34,250
is not simply

5893
03:37:34,740 --> 03:37:34,990
a reimbursement discussion it

5894
03:37:36,200 --> 03:37:36,450
really is an access issue it's a

5895
03:37:39,260 --> 03:37:39,510
rural healthcare issue obviously

5896
03:37:40,000 --> 03:37:40,250
and it is a tribal healthcare

5897
03:37:42,280 --> 03:37:42,530
issue today we ask for your

5898
03:37:44,440 --> 03:37:44,690
legislative support to get the

5899
03:37:46,200 --> 03:37:46,450
department to cover the cost to

5900
03:37:48,480 --> 03:37:48,730
help improve the health and

5901
03:37:49,760 --> 03:37:50,010
quality of life for New Mexicans

5902
03:37:51,220 --> 03:37:51,470
dealing with drug resistant

5903
03:37:52,420 --> 03:37:52,670
epilepsy we want to regre again

5904
03:37:53,677 --> 03:37:53,927
Representative Lenstone,

5905
03:37:56,140 --> 03:37:56,390
Representative Herndon who've

5906
03:37:57,920 --> 03:37:58,170
carried this legislation and are

5907
03:38:00,180 --> 03:38:00,430
working to resolve this issue

5908
03:38:01,660 --> 03:38:01,910
along our side and we thank you

5909
03:38:04,300 --> 03:38:04,550

5910
03:38:04,960 --> 03:38:05,210

03:38:42,480 --> 03:38:42,730
welcome you all to gallup

5925
03:38:44,660 --> 03:38:44,910
I know this wasn't the

5926
03:38:45,980 --> 03:38:46,230
planned meeting location but we

5927
03:38:48,680 --> 03:38:48,930
are glad to have you here and we

5928
03:38:50,680 --> 03:38:50,930
would welcome you guys coming

5929
03:38:51,700 --> 03:38:51,950
back anytime for any other

5930
03:38:52,940 --> 03:38:53,190
committees that you might have

5931
03:38:53,940 --> 03:38:54,190
so I hope that you guys have

5932
03:38:55,700 --> 03:38:55,950
felt warm a warm welcome here

5933
03:38:57,960 --> 03:38:58,210
and hopefully we'll see I know I

5934
03:38:59,340 --> 03:38:59,590
will see you guys during

5935
03:39:00,780 --> 03:39:01,030
legislative session and

5936
03:39:01,940 --> 03:39:02,190
hopefully before then as well.

5937
03:39:03,940 --> 03:39:04,190
some of you I know very well

5938
03:39:05,340 --> 03:39:05,590
and some of you I've met maybe

5939
03:39:06,660 --> 03:39:06,910
once or twice over at the

5940
03:39:08,260 --> 03:39:08,510
state capitol and I hope to get

5941
03:39:09,560 --> 03:39:09,810
you to know you as well as my

5942
03:39:12,040 --> 03:39:12,290
my mentor here Bill

5943
03:39:14,020 --> 03:39:14,270
is so he obviously had a little

5944
03:39:15,920 --> 03:39:16,170
bit different of an agenda than

5945
03:39:17,300 --> 03:39:17,550
what I did. I just wanted to

5946
03:39:18,680 --> 03:39:18,930
make sure that you guys felt

5947
03:39:19,720 --> 03:39:19,970
welcome here there is one

5948
03:39:21,460 --> 03:39:21,710
thing that I would like to bring

5949
03:39:22,520 --> 03:39:22,770
to this committee it's been

5950
03:39:25,040 --> 03:39:25,290
talked about

5951
03:39:25,620 --> 03:39:25,870
in other places and maybe you

5952
03:39:27,820 --> 03:39:28,070
guys can give us a legup

5953
03:39:29,600 --> 03:39:29,850
as you know we have been

5954
03:39:31,480 --> 03:39:31,730
flooded in this area not only in

5955
03:39:33,940 --> 03:39:34,190
the gallup area but in McKinley

5956
03:39:35,620 --> 03:39:35,870
County and and across the state

5957
03:39:37,260 --> 03:39:37,510
for that matter

5958
03:39:38,980 --> 03:39:39,230
we are going to need some

5959
03:39:40,360 --> 03:39:40,610
help

5960
03:39:41,320 --> 03:39:41,570
not only in gallup but in the

5961
03:39:43,280 --> 03:39:43,530
county

5962
03:39:43,560 --> 03:39:43,810
to get our flood systems up to

5963
03:39:47,260 --> 03:39:47,510
speed and be able to handle

5964
03:39:48,800 --> 03:39:49,050
capacity now yes this might be

5965
03:39:50,480 --> 03:39:50,730
an abnormal year for storms

5966
03:39:51,860 --> 03:39:52,110
but as you've seen on some of

5967
03:39:54,540 --> 03:39:54,790
the video that's been taken

5968
03:39:55,660 --> 03:39:55,910
especially up in the Mexican

5969
03:39:57,000 --> 03:39:57,250
spprings area and and up in

5970
03:39:59,440 --> 03:39:59,690
northern McKinley County I mean

5971
03:40:00,640 --> 03:40:00,890
they've had entire roads that

5972
03:40:02,000 --> 03:40:02,250
have been washed out by the

5973
03:40:03,060 --> 03:40:03,310
floods and it's more just

5974
03:40:05,040 --> 03:40:05,290
because we haven't had enough

5975
03:40:07,260 --> 03:40:07,510
foresight to plan for that kind

5976
03:40:09,360 --> 03:40:09,610
of capacity of water gallup

5977
03:40:11,560 --> 03:40:11,810
also does suffer from that

5978
03:40:14,600 --> 03:40:14,850
you know we have a a majority

5979
03:40:16,080 --> 03:40:16,330
population that is native

5980
03:40:17,200 --> 03:40:17,450
American so I feel that this

5981
03:40:18,400 --> 03:40:18,650
committee is appropriate to

5982
03:40:19,520 --> 03:40:19,770
address to help us at least get

5983
03:40:21,740 --> 03:40:21,990
the

5984
03:40:21,860 --> 03:40:22,110
conversation started on

5985
03:40:23,960 --> 03:40:24,210
possibly upgrading our storm

5986
03:40:25,300 --> 03:40:25,550
drainage systems most if not

5987
03:40:28,620 --> 03:40:28,870
all of our storm drains are only

5988
03:40:31,160 --> 03:40:31,410
partially concreted

5989
03:40:33,240 --> 03:40:33,490
so when you go to bigger urban

5990
03:40:34,680 --> 03:40:34,930
areas most of the storm drainage

5991
03:40:36,100 --> 03:40:36,350
in the arroyos and like in

5992
03:40:37,160 --> 03:40:37,410
Albuquerque and other areas

5993
03:40:38,360 --> 03:40:38,610
they're fully concrete so they

5994
03:40:39,640 --> 03:40:39,890
don't have erosion problems like

5995
03:40:41,540 --> 03:40:41,790
we see here

5996
03:40:43,300 --> 03:40:43,550
when we get runoff from the

5997
03:40:45,440 --> 03:40:45,690
rains that happened in our area

5998
03:40:47,000 --> 03:40:47,250
it comes right through downtown

5999
03:40:48,260 --> 03:40:48,510
Gallup and we get everything

6000
03:40:50,220 --> 03:40:50,470
that comes along with it the

6001
03:40:51,300 --> 03:40:51,550
silt and the the debris and

6002
03:40:53,320 --> 03:40:53,570
everything but the most of

6003
03:40:55,020 --> 03:40:55,270
our arroyo system through the

6004
03:40:57,040 --> 03:40:57,290
gallup area from the Rio Puerco

6005
03:40:59,360 --> 03:40:59,610
is not fully concreted so we

6006
03:41:04,120 --> 03:41:04,370
are constantly having to do

6007
03:41:05,320 --> 03:41:05,570
maintenance on it and I say we

6008
03:41:06,580 --> 03:41:06,830
very loosely it's the community

6009
03:41:07,880 --> 03:41:08,130
it's the city the county they

6010
03:41:10,160 --> 03:41:10,410
they have to constantly maintain

6011
03:41:11,780 --> 03:41:12,030
these because

6012
03:41:12,520 --> 03:41:12,770
we are inundated with silt

6013
03:41:14,640 --> 03:41:14,890
debris mud and we also run into

6014
03:41:17,800 --> 03:41:18,050
jurisdictional issues from what

6015
03:41:19,200 --> 03:41:19,450
I've been told that where the

6016
03:41:20,860 --> 03:41:21,110
the land is like some of the the

6017
03:41:23,580 --> 03:41:23,830
people that have presented today

6018
03:41:25,200 --> 03:41:25,450
the land is owned by the state

6019
03:41:26,880 --> 03:41:27,130
the land is owned by BNSf or

6020
03:41:28,720 --> 03:41:28,970
other entities and it's hard to

6021
03:41:31,440 --> 03:41:31,690
acquire the proper permission to

6022
03:41:33,000 --> 03:41:33,250
do maintenance on the storm

6023
03:41:35,300 --> 03:41:35,550
drainage system. So I just

6024
03:41:36,840 --> 03:41:37,090
wanted to start the conversation

6025
03:41:38,040 --> 03:41:38,290
here I've I've talked with

6026
03:41:39,860 --> 03:41:40,110
the the city manager about it. I

6027
03:41:41,300 --> 03:41:41,550
haven't had the chance to talk

6028
03:41:42,300 --> 03:41:42,550
with the

6029
03:41:42,540 --> 03:41:42,790
county about it but I figured

6030
03:41:44,100 --> 03:41:44,350
that we could start the the the

6031
03:41:45,660 --> 03:41:45,910
conversation and maybe I can

6032
03:41:47,780 --> 03:41:48,030
work with our my local

6033
03:41:48,780 --> 03:41:49,030
legislators so that we can get

6034
03:41:50,200 --> 03:41:50,450
this maybe get something

6035
03:41:55,040 --> 03:41:55,290
Other than that I would again

6036
03:41:56,420 --> 03:41:56,670

03:47:50,210 --> 03:47:50,460

6173
03:47:54,650 --> 03:47:54,900

NCI to them

6175
03:47:59,410 --> 03:47:59,660
percentage

6176
03:48:01,410 --> 03:48:01,660
discrimination, keep those

good afternoon

6187
03:48:31,930 --> 03:48:32,180
the

6188
03:48:32,350 --> 03:48:32,600
committee here coming from

6189
03:48:35,150 --> 03:48:35,400
different parts of New Mexico

6190
03:48:37,830 --> 03:48:38,080
and I wanted to say a few

6191
03:48:40,010 --> 03:48:40,260
things here some of this was

6192
03:48:42,370 --> 03:48:42,620
stated this morning in the

6193
03:48:44,730 --> 03:48:44,980
presentation by the city of

6194
03:48:46,250 --> 03:48:46,500
Gallup

6195
03:48:49,010 --> 03:48:49,260
their officials a mayor and

6196
03:48:49,730 --> 03:48:49,980
the the city manager

6197
03:48:52,970 --> 03:48:53,220
and the

6198
03:48:53,230 --> 03:48:53,480
mental health department

6199
03:48:56,710 --> 03:48:56,960
of course yeah

6200
03:49:01,250 --> 03:49:01,500
ard ge ant Linibe hadti think so

6201
03:49:02,070 --> 03:49:02,320
my name is Larry Foster

6202
03:49:04,730 --> 03:49:04,980
and my wife is over here maddie

6203
03:49:08,650 --> 03:49:08,900
I'm from the townhouse rockck

6204
03:49:10,311 --> 03:49:10,561
people lankyon in

6205
03:49:12,910 --> 03:49:13,160
adolani manco people

6206
03:49:16,990 --> 03:49:17,240
on the second son of a Navajo

6207
03:49:18,870 --> 03:49:19,120
coat talker

6208
03:49:20,710 --> 03:49:20,960
Here they used to have the code

6209
03:49:22,430 --> 03:49:22,680
talker meetings monthly in here

6210
03:49:24,070 --> 03:49:24,320
in this building

6211
03:49:26,150 --> 03:49:26,400
so

6212
03:49:26,390 --> 03:49:26,640
the perspective of the city

6213
03:49:29,670 --> 03:49:29,920
presentation this mornings

6214
03:49:32,010 --> 03:49:32,260
from their administrative

6215
03:49:34,710 --> 03:49:34,960
some of the data is kind of

6216
03:49:36,150 --> 03:49:36,400
shortcoming

6217
03:49:37,590 --> 03:49:37,840
they might have been using the

6218
03:49:39,730 --> 03:49:39,980
old data or or some missing data

6219
03:49:42,990 --> 03:49:43,240
but it's very well taken but my

6220
03:49:45,690 --> 03:49:45,940
perspective right now is from

6221
03:49:47,890 --> 03:49:48,140
the human rights

6222
03:49:48,870 --> 03:49:49,120
and the civil rights of our the

6223
03:49:49,882 --> 03:49:50,132
indigenous people

6224
03:49:57,410 --> 03:49:57,660
nor cotten nepain that's what

6225
03:49:57,870 --> 03:49:58,120
we're called but the state in

6226
03:50:00,500 --> 03:50:00,750
New Mexico calls usnavajos

6227
03:50:06,554 --> 03:50:06,804
sookota so during their

6228
03:50:08,560 --> 03:50:08,810
rainstorms that we had recently

6229
03:50:09,760 --> 03:50:10,010
we saw a lot of things that

6230
03:50:12,000 --> 03:50:12,250
happened here in Gallup. I think

6231
03:50:14,000 --> 03:50:14,250
that made the city of Gallup

6232
03:50:15,420 --> 03:50:15,670
depressed particularly people

6233
03:50:18,500 --> 03:50:18,750
that live on the north side

6234
03:50:20,380 --> 03:50:20,630
up on 9th Street in Maloney

6235
03:50:23,120 --> 03:50:23,370
the people that lived there they

6236
03:50:24,800 --> 03:50:25,050
were angry

6237
03:50:26,960 --> 03:50:27,210
and then of course they

6238
03:50:28,880 --> 03:50:29,130
were confused about the politics

6239
03:50:31,400 --> 03:50:31,650
of Gallup

6240
03:50:33,100 --> 03:50:33,350
who is in the leadership

6241
03:50:35,980 --> 03:50:36,230
and then of course there

6242
03:50:38,220 --> 03:50:38,470
was a lot of stress

6243
03:50:41,340 --> 03:50:41,590
so

6244
03:50:41,860 --> 03:50:42,110
from that I I gathered there was

6245
03:50:43,700 --> 03:50:43,950
a lot of jealousy among the

6246
03:50:45,120 --> 03:50:45,370
leaders. Most recently we had a

6247
03:50:48,260 --> 03:50:48,510
changeover of the mayor

6248
03:50:50,340 --> 03:50:50,590
so what you're seeing here that

6249
03:50:52,420 --> 03:50:52,670
presented this morning that

6250
03:50:53,820 --> 03:50:54,070
that's a new mayor

6251
03:50:55,720 --> 03:50:55,970
he's involved it's mainly

6252
03:50:57,420 --> 03:50:57,670
administrative

6253
03:50:59,140 --> 03:50:59,390
but I think he's kind of weak

6254
03:51:01,740 --> 03:51:01,990
on human rights, civil rights

6255
03:51:06,340 --> 03:51:06,590
so that's

6256
03:51:06,940 --> 03:51:07,190
directed to the chapters the

6257
03:51:11,220 --> 03:51:11,470
sovereignty issue consolidation

6258
03:51:21,240 --> 03:51:21,490
actct of19781988199 or 208 they

6259
03:51:21,880 --> 03:51:22,130
need to utilize that act over

6260
03:51:24,460 --> 03:51:24,710
here in uhnavajo land

6261
03:51:28,931 --> 03:51:29,181
particularly uhRock Springs,

6262
03:51:29,494 --> 03:51:29,744
Mangnito

6263
03:51:32,484 --> 03:51:32,734
ra cheatuo

6264
03:51:35,860 --> 03:51:36,110
they're gonna build some things

6265
03:51:36,660 --> 03:51:36,910
over here pretty quick and I

6266
03:51:39,260 --> 03:51:39,510
think a lot of the community is

6267
03:51:40,620 --> 03:51:40,870
not well informed on that

6268
03:51:42,760 --> 03:51:43,010
particularly chapters

6269
03:51:46,080 --> 03:51:46,330
so that I don't know why they're

6270
03:51:47,540 --> 03:51:47,790
holding back

6271
03:51:49,440 --> 03:51:49,690
so they shouldn't do that with

6272
03:51:50,780 --> 03:51:51,030
these laws that are in the state

6273
03:51:52,300 --> 03:51:52,550
of New Mexico that are

6274
03:51:53,160 --> 03:51:53,410
implemented 20 years ago

6275
03:51:57,400 --> 03:51:57,650
so along with the increase of

6276
03:51:59,880 --> 03:52:00,130
liquor what was mentioned at

6277
03:52:01,520 --> 03:52:01,770
Speedway

6278
03:52:03,200 --> 03:52:03,450
and then the the the marijuana

6279
03:52:05,920 --> 03:52:06,170
outlets

6280
03:52:06,660 --> 03:52:06,910
that causes a lot of a child

6281
03:52:10,160 --> 03:52:10,410
abandonment what I've seen

6282
03:52:12,840 --> 03:52:13,090
and then they they did

6283
03:52:14,200 --> 03:52:14,450
mention any street birth

6284
03:52:17,820 --> 03:52:18,070
or unsheltered native veterans

6285
03:52:21,340 --> 03:52:21,590
those were the data what they

6286
03:52:23,480 --> 03:52:23,730
had that's what I mean

6287
03:52:24,840 --> 03:52:25,090
misinformation of data

6288
03:52:28,180 --> 03:52:28,430
go over here to westgallllup

6289
03:52:30,320 --> 03:52:30,570
there's a lot of abandoned

6290
03:52:31,140 --> 03:52:31,390
buildings there's graffiti,

6291
03:52:32,660 --> 03:52:32,910
there's potholes our relatives

6292
03:52:34,860 --> 03:52:35,110
are living under the bridges

6293
03:52:38,460 --> 03:52:38,710
Interstate40 tent cities

6294
03:52:40,700 --> 03:52:40,950
and yet deborah Martinez

6295
03:52:42,560 --> 03:52:42,810
mentioned that

6296
03:52:44,620 --> 03:52:44,870
I think that

6297
03:52:45,320 --> 03:52:45,570
my wife and I we go out

6298
03:52:50,060 --> 03:52:50,310
the flea market under the

6299
03:52:51,100 --> 03:52:51,350
culverts yeah they're dangerous

6300
03:52:53,220 --> 03:52:53,470
people are high on fentanyl

6301
03:52:56,000 --> 03:52:56,250
but we try to talk to them we

6302
03:52:58,160 --> 03:52:58,410
try to start a a talking circle

6303
03:53:01,880 --> 03:53:02,130
we went down to the burrito

6304
03:53:03,300 --> 03:53:03,550
project outlet and we weren't

6305
03:53:06,480 --> 03:53:06,730
very welcome because we're

6306
03:53:07,860 --> 03:53:08,110
talking Navajo

6307
03:53:10,300 --> 03:53:10,550
to start talking circle talking

6308
03:53:12,560 --> 03:53:12,810
about the problems in Navajo

6309
03:53:14,560 --> 03:53:14,810
so we let it go

6310
03:53:17,280 --> 03:53:17,530
so I think my recommendation is

6311
03:53:20,160 --> 03:53:20,410
here

6312
03:53:20,520 --> 03:53:20,770
with all these problems that

6313
03:53:23,560 --> 03:53:23,810
one thing I want to mention

6314
03:53:25,000 --> 03:53:25,250
about McKinley County school

6315
03:53:26,740 --> 03:53:26,990
system I think we really need

6316
03:53:29,200 --> 03:53:29,450
to get involved with the

6317
03:53:29,739 --> 03:53:29,989
yasemartinez

6318
03:53:31,260 --> 03:53:31,510
case

6319
03:53:35,120 --> 03:53:35,370
The judge said that a couple of

6320
03:53:36,880 --> 03:53:37,130
months ago the federal funding

6321
03:53:39,840 --> 03:53:40,090
the federal impact aid

6322
03:53:42,180 --> 03:53:42,430
we need to review that a little

6323
03:53:43,900 --> 03:53:44,150
bit more work with the Navajo

6324
03:53:45,160 --> 03:53:45,410
Nation Department of Education

6325
03:53:46,181 --> 03:53:46,431
NDOJ

6326
03:53:49,894 --> 03:53:50,144
that involves it Johnson

6327
03:53:50,760 --> 03:53:51,010
O'malley funds Title 06 and7.

6328
03:53:55,680 --> 03:53:55,930
we don't want to misuse that and

6329
03:53:57,760 --> 03:53:58,010
let it sit somewhere

6330
03:53:59,960 --> 03:54:00,210
that's happening now the lawsuit

6331
03:54:01,880 --> 03:54:02,130
that might come out of that

6332
03:54:04,920 --> 03:54:05,170
so in closing I want to say that

6333
03:54:07,220 --> 03:54:07,470
to improve some of this quality

6334
03:54:09,220 --> 03:54:09,470
of life, my recommendation is

6335
03:54:11,680 --> 03:54:11,930
we need to get a grant rider

6336
03:54:13,860 --> 03:54:14,110
over there at the mayor's office

6337
03:54:16,060 --> 03:54:16,310
let's help the mayor

6338
03:54:18,180 --> 03:54:18,430
see your manager

6339
03:54:20,760 --> 03:54:21,010
and get an indigenous task force

6340
03:54:23,240 --> 03:54:23,490
in order. There's people like

6341
03:54:25,180 --> 03:54:25,430
myself that

6342
03:54:26,480 --> 03:54:26,730
I wanted to to help the city of

6343
03:54:29,900 --> 03:54:30,150
Gallup

6344
03:54:31,080 --> 03:54:31,330
I've been here for my wife and I

6345
03:54:33,640 --> 03:54:33,890
over30 years

6346
03:54:34,080 --> 03:54:34,330
and then to review some of the

6347
03:54:37,500 --> 03:54:37,750
contracts

6348
03:54:39,320 --> 03:54:39,570
I don't know who takes care of

6349
03:54:40,540 --> 03:54:40,790
the contracts over there it

6350
03:54:41,760 --> 03:54:42,010
sounds like it's just one person

6351
03:54:46,510 --> 03:54:46,760
so this is all about the

6352
03:54:47,910 --> 03:54:48,160
public health human rights civil

6353
03:54:51,470 --> 03:54:51,720
rights

6354
03:54:53,350 --> 03:54:53,600
so

6355
03:54:53,830 --> 03:54:54,080

03:55:10,790 --> 03:55:11,040
works over there

6364
03:55:13,270 --> 03:55:13,520
likewise with the surrounding

6365
03:55:14,690 --> 03:55:14,940
tribes Aama and Naguna

6366
03:55:16,550 --> 03:55:16,800

it was sign in sheet but

6376
03:56:16,720 --> 03:56:16,970

6378
03:56:21,760 --> 03:56:22,010
anyway

6379
03:56:23,440 --> 03:56:23,690
my name is maddie Foster and my

6380
03:56:26,640 --> 03:56:26,890
client is with ondo to by the

6381
03:56:27,901 --> 03:56:28,151
machine touchy nationalinando

6382
03:56:29,278 --> 03:56:29,528
shin the shi cheong a

6383
03:56:30,165 --> 03:56:30,415
a

6384
03:56:34,320 --> 03:56:34,570
I'm a lady here and my husband

6385
03:56:40,337 --> 03:56:40,587
he's said th30 years actually

6386
03:56:42,160 --> 03:56:42,410
it's50 years

6387
03:56:43,820 --> 03:56:44,070
so

6388
03:56:43,820 --> 03:56:44,070
we've beenga was a girlup we

6389
03:56:47,920 --> 03:56:48,170
live and he was a galla with our

6390
03:56:48,400 --> 03:56:48,650
children and our grandchildren

6391
03:56:50,680 --> 03:56:50,930
and they all go to school at

6392
03:56:53,520 --> 03:56:53,770
Gallup McKinney County School.

6393
03:56:55,360 --> 03:56:55,610
so

6394
03:56:55,520 --> 03:56:55,770
I guess what my complaint would

6395
03:57:01,060 --> 03:57:01,310
be

6396
03:57:02,520 --> 03:57:02,770
I lived in Galla for most of my

6397
03:57:05,400 --> 03:57:05,650
years and I see what's going on

6398
03:57:10,940 --> 03:57:11,190
and

6399
03:57:11,740 --> 03:57:11,990
it's heartbreaking as a mother

6400
03:57:15,420 --> 03:57:15,670
as a ali and and thennavajo lady

6401
03:57:18,760 --> 03:57:19,010
that you see a relatives on

6402
03:57:22,480 --> 03:57:22,730
the streets

6403
03:57:26,100 --> 03:57:26,350
they all need help

6404
03:57:28,760 --> 03:57:29,010
I seen a little girl she was

6405
03:57:30,700 --> 03:57:30,950
about 9 or10 years old on the

6406
03:57:32,680 --> 03:57:32,930
street and I thought what is she

6407
03:57:35,260 --> 03:57:35,510
doing here? Where's her parents

6408
03:57:39,620 --> 03:57:39,870
and there she went

6409
03:57:40,880 --> 03:57:41,130
following this one person older

6410
03:57:45,120 --> 03:57:45,370
man

6411
03:57:46,920 --> 03:57:47,170
and he does heartbreaking so us

6412
03:57:53,400 --> 03:57:53,650
ladies as woman native women we

6413
03:57:55,160 --> 03:57:55,410
need to do a lot of

6414
03:57:56,820 --> 03:57:57,070
work

6415
03:58:00,330 --> 03:58:00,580
like they're saying outreach my

6416
03:58:03,330 --> 03:58:03,580
husband and I are both retired

6417
03:58:05,660 --> 03:58:05,910
our work atingate High School

6418
03:58:07,990 --> 03:58:08,240
for48 years and eight months

6419
03:58:09,150 --> 03:58:09,400
with the students and

6420
03:58:12,350 --> 03:58:12,600
my husband worked at PhS forth38

6421
03:58:15,310 --> 03:58:15,560
years so we're both retired and

6422
03:58:17,790 --> 03:58:18,040
we do a lot of volunteer work

6423
03:58:20,950 --> 03:58:21,200
no right now we don't get paid

6424
03:58:23,630 --> 03:58:23,880
we just go out there who needs

6425
03:58:25,610 --> 03:58:25,860
help or maybe one of the

6426
03:58:27,250 --> 03:58:27,500
projects needs help or somebody

6427
03:58:30,450 --> 03:58:30,700
that needs food

6428
03:58:32,450 --> 03:58:32,700
so this takes most of our time

6429
03:58:34,990 --> 03:58:35,240
and whoever

6430
03:58:37,150 --> 03:58:37,400
we go

6431
03:58:43,680 --> 03:58:43,930
we just offer our help

6432
03:58:47,200 --> 03:58:47,450
on the west side too there's a

6433
03:58:49,440 --> 03:58:49,690
lot of graffiti and

6434
03:58:52,760 --> 03:58:53,010
like my husband said there's a

6435
03:58:54,820 --> 03:58:55,070
lot of buildings or boarded up

6436
03:58:58,980 --> 03:58:59,230
need to bring more business or

6437
03:59:00,940 --> 03:59:01,190
clean it up

6438
03:59:03,440 --> 03:59:03,690
and

6439
03:59:04,160 --> 03:59:04,410
even at Gallllup High School we

6440
03:59:07,360 --> 03:59:07,610
mention it to the superintendent

6441
03:59:09,080 --> 03:59:09,330
that left at the pavement

6442
03:59:12,500 --> 03:59:12,750
needs to be paved

6443
03:59:15,640 --> 03:59:15,890
and

6444
03:59:16,440 --> 03:59:16,690
the other day I think one of

6445
03:59:20,560 --> 03:59:20,810
they got excused early because

6446
03:59:21,520 --> 03:59:21,770
the air conditioner or something

6447
03:59:25,060 --> 03:59:25,310
that wasn't working so we gallup

6448
03:59:27,740 --> 03:59:27,990
high needs a new school

6449
03:59:31,120 --> 03:59:31,370
buildingallllup High School and

6450
03:59:35,460 --> 03:59:35,710
we need a lot of parents

6451
03:59:37,380 --> 03:59:37,630
involvement that's what we're

6452
03:59:39,660 --> 03:59:39,910
lacking too

6453
03:59:41,680 --> 03:59:41,930
thats we try to represent a lot

6454
03:59:43,840 --> 03:59:44,090
of native students atallllup

6455
03:59:45,560 --> 03:59:45,810
high school where they mean

6456
03:59:48,000 --> 03:59:48,250
being mistreated

6457
03:59:50,320 --> 03:59:50,570
and we go to to go to the school

6458
03:59:52,060 --> 03:59:52,310
board meeting and try to voice

6459
03:59:54,220 --> 03:59:54,470
our opinion but they always call

6460
03:59:57,560 --> 03:59:57,810
the security saying there comes

6461
03:59:59,380 --> 03:59:59,630
a fosters better call the

6462
03:59:59,931 --> 04:00:00,181
security so

6463
04:00:05,340 --> 04:00:05,590
ashley we're trying to help help

6464
04:00:06,480 --> 04:00:06,730
the students or represent them

6465
04:00:10,540 --> 04:00:10,790
and also the JOM money too is to

6466
04:00:13,300 --> 04:00:13,550
sit in atonderrock and where we

6467
04:00:18,799 --> 04:00:19,049
used to sponsored nativist

6468
04:00:23,240 --> 04:00:23,490
culture at Gallllup High

6469
04:00:23,480 --> 04:00:23,730
School

6470
04:00:24,960 --> 04:00:25,210
and at tourpin

6471
04:00:28,260 --> 04:00:28,510
that that's not happening

6472
04:00:30,520 --> 04:00:30,770
so when you are jail and money

6473
04:00:33,700 --> 04:00:33,950
back to the school and we talked

6474
04:00:37,040 --> 04:00:37,290
with Bo Nagrin

6475
04:00:38,140 --> 04:00:38,390
that

6476
04:00:41,400 --> 04:00:41,650
this is how our native students

6477
04:00:43,640 --> 04:00:43,890
are getting treated amongcinney

6478
04:00:45,100 --> 04:00:45,350
County School. he was going to

6479
04:00:47,580 --> 04:00:47,830
set up our office here and all

6480
04:00:50,060 --> 04:00:50,310
our native unsheltered

6481
04:00:52,740 --> 04:00:52,990
relatives to on the streets I'll

6482
04:00:56,300 --> 04:00:56,550
work with them it never happened

6483
04:00:58,400 --> 04:00:58,650
so when he was campaigning again

6484
04:01:00,820 --> 04:01:01,070
at the flea market approached

6485
04:01:02,580 --> 04:01:02,830
him. where's the office for you

6486
04:01:06,220 --> 04:01:06,470
promised us when you were

6487
04:01:07,560 --> 04:01:07,810
campaigning I'll work on it. No

6488
04:01:10,560 --> 04:01:10,810
your term is over

6489
04:01:12,740 --> 04:01:12,990
so we approached the new

6490
04:01:15,140 --> 04:01:15,390
administration Justin Jones and

6491
04:01:18,540 --> 04:01:18,790
he said he's gonna work on it

6492
04:01:21,060 --> 04:01:21,310
with the gallupmcckinley County

6493
04:01:22,192 --> 04:01:22,442
School

6494
04:01:24,940 --> 04:01:25,190
why our natives are getting

6495
04:01:26,320 --> 04:01:26,570
discriminated

6496
04:01:28,780 --> 04:01:29,030
and

6497
04:01:28,840 --> 04:01:29,090
with the native unsheltered

6498
04:01:32,920 --> 04:01:33,170
relatives too we need we need

6499
04:01:35,840 --> 04:01:36,090
help we told him

6500
04:01:38,180 --> 04:01:38,430
so this and his campaign

6501
04:01:40,860 --> 04:01:41,110
hopefully he pays a lot of

6502
04:01:43,380 --> 04:01:43,630
attention to what everybody is

6503
04:01:46,580 --> 04:01:46,830
asking him to do for his new

6504
04:01:48,920 --> 04:01:49,170

6605
04:05:41,680 --> 04:05:41,930
I was just coming from this

6606
04:05:42,760 --> 04:05:43,010
morning we we got a lot of water

6607
04:05:45,040 --> 04:05:45,290
at our farm and we cannot get

6608
04:05:46,980 --> 04:05:47,230
into our farm because of because

6609
04:05:49,580 --> 04:05:49,830
of the floods and the and the

6610
04:05:50,500 --> 04:05:50,750
muddy roads and the access to

6611
04:05:51,960 --> 04:05:52,210
our farm but we were able to get

6612
04:05:53,440 --> 04:05:53,690
in because the past few days we

6613
04:05:55,440 --> 04:05:55,690
had some a little bit warmer

6614
04:05:57,120 --> 04:05:57,370
weather so we could get into the

6615
04:06:03,225 --> 04:06:03,475

6616
04:06:04,291 --> 04:06:04,541

04:06:08,260 --> 04:06:08,510
that we also got money for our

6620
04:06:11,240 --> 04:06:11,490

as a part of our contribution

6730
04:09:37,480 --> 04:09:37,730
towards that and again this is

6731
04:09:39,800 --> 04:09:40,050
something that we're doing and

6732
04:09:41,040 --> 04:09:41,290
I'm just kind of going on as

6733
04:09:43,380 --> 04:09:43,630

6734
04:09:45,340 --> 04:09:45,590

04:09:48,381 --> 04:09:48,631
I want to also thank theal

04:10:00,300 --> 04:10:00,550
want to thank them for all

6744
04:10:01,180 --> 04:10:01,430
the work they've done over the

6745
04:10:02,560 --> 04:10:02,810
many many years we just had our

6746
04:10:04,300 --> 04:10:04,550
groundbreaking in schools in

6747
04:10:06,280 --> 04:10:06,530
session now all the kids are

6748
04:10:07,640 --> 04:10:07,890
enjoying their new school now

6749
04:10:09,780 --> 04:10:10,030
and of course they cannot wait

6750
04:10:11,400 --> 04:10:11,650
for basketball season. we have a

6751
04:10:12,860 --> 04:10:13,110
new basketball gymnasium that

6752
04:10:14,940 --> 04:10:15,190
we're gonna be occupying and

6753
04:10:16,780 --> 04:10:17,030
we're gonna be cheering on

6754
04:10:17,960 --> 04:10:18,210
you know our opponents and

6755
04:10:19,560 --> 04:10:19,810
everyone else there when they

6756
04:10:20,720 --> 04:10:20,970
come to Johatchi, home of the

6757
04:10:22,480 --> 04:10:22,730
cougars and we're gonna be

6758
04:10:23,580 --> 04:10:23,830

04:10:25,820 --> 04:10:26,070
got spirit how about you? you

6760
04:10:28,780 --> 04:10:29,030
know that's gonna happen right

6761
04:10:29,660 --> 04:10:29,910
on so again we appreciate that

6762
04:10:32,940 --> 04:10:33,190
other things that are going

6763
04:10:34,180 --> 04:10:34,430
on that's sad to say again

6764
04:10:37,460 --> 04:10:37,710
ourtahaji seniorenter has been

6765
04:10:37,920 --> 04:10:38,170
closed for the last couple of

6766
04:10:40,360 --> 04:10:40,610
weeks or so3 weeks because of

6767
04:10:43,280 --> 04:10:43,530
our hy their hibc system their

6768
04:10:44,400 --> 04:10:44,650
highback system has is not

6769
04:10:45,900 --> 04:10:46,150
functioning and it's not just to

6770
04:10:48,340 --> 04:10:48,590
haji it's a majority of naval

6771
04:10:49,720 --> 04:10:49,970
nation where we're having that

6772
04:10:50,740 --> 04:10:50,990
issue the expending the

6773
04:10:53,060 --> 04:10:53,310
expanding the expenditure

6774
04:10:54,100 --> 04:10:54,350
process of getting these money

6775
04:10:55,840 --> 04:10:56,090
spent is a problem with our

6776
04:10:57,100 --> 04:10:57,350
navajo nation and that's been a

6777
04:10:59,140 --> 04:10:59,390
long long ongoing process so the

6778
04:11:01,740 --> 04:11:01,990
senior senator is dealing with

6779
04:11:03,740 --> 04:11:03,990
that we as officials are

6780
04:11:04,820 --> 04:11:05,070
supporting them they under they

6781
04:11:06,434 --> 04:11:06,684
are under doltech with Navo

6782
04:11:08,260 --> 04:11:08,510
Nation so we are supporting

6783
04:11:10,000 --> 04:11:10,250
their effort to get this done. I

6784
04:11:12,060 --> 04:11:12,310
just found out a week ago that

6785
04:11:14,780 --> 04:11:15,030
is the high ec system works at

6786
04:11:15,700 --> 04:11:15,950
the senior center it's just some

6787
04:11:16,307 --> 04:11:16,557
d

6788
04:11:18,360 --> 04:11:18,610
uck wood I need some upgrades

6789
04:11:19,540 --> 04:11:19,790
that's why there's no there's no

6790
04:11:20,300 --> 04:11:20,550
functioning air flow through the

6791
04:11:22,520 --> 04:11:22,770
through the building itself so

6792
04:11:24,520 --> 04:11:24,770
we're working again with

6793
04:11:26,120 --> 04:11:26,370
something there so we need

6794
04:11:27,260 --> 04:11:27,510
something to do with that

6795
04:11:28,260 --> 04:11:28,510
system. these systems and these

6796
04:11:30,440 --> 04:11:30,690
senior center centers have been

6797
04:11:31,920 --> 04:11:32,170
outdated for so many years so

6798
04:11:35,020 --> 04:11:35,270
if you have senior centers in on

6799
04:11:36,200 --> 04:11:36,450
on in your area as legislators

6800
04:11:38,880 --> 04:11:39,130
you need to look more closely at

6801
04:11:40,840 --> 04:11:41,090
what's going on with their

6802
04:11:41,980 --> 04:11:42,230
facility it's a bad situation

6803
04:11:43,840 --> 04:11:44,090
because they're very full

6804
04:11:45,660 --> 04:11:45,910
they're much outdated

6805
04:11:46,660 --> 04:11:46,910
infrastructure

6806
04:11:48,300 --> 04:11:48,550
so anyway that's something that

6807
04:11:49,460 --> 04:11:49,710
we're dealing with now and

6808
04:11:51,940 --> 04:11:52,190
and we're we're soon to have

6809
04:11:53,020 --> 04:11:53,270
that open and guarantee that so

6810
04:11:55,060 --> 04:11:55,310
the other the other commanding

6811
04:11:57,000 --> 04:11:57,250
commanding information or

6812
04:11:58,460 --> 04:11:58,710
comment I want to make is the

6813
04:12:01,020 --> 04:12:01,270
MexicodlT thank you for your new

6814
04:12:02,920 --> 04:12:03,170
paving that you're doing now

6815
04:12:04,240 --> 04:12:04,490
through our community of

6816
04:12:07,240 --> 04:12:07,490
Tehatchie M marker16 through

6817
04:12:07,620 --> 04:12:07,870
mile marker 25 we lobbied for

6818
04:12:10,460 --> 04:12:10,710
that advocated for that here

6819
04:12:11,980 --> 04:12:12,230
about a month ago or so with DOT

6820
04:12:15,280 --> 04:12:15,530
we asked Trujillo and we

6821
04:12:17,380 --> 04:12:17,630
asked Lis

6822
04:12:17,900 --> 04:12:18,150
a Vega why are you guys not

6823
04:12:19,380 --> 04:12:19,630
still why you guys are notpa

6824
04:12:21,000 --> 04:12:21,250
that north lane, the double

6825
04:12:23,000 --> 04:12:23,250
lanes and a couple weeks three

6826
04:12:24,800 --> 04:12:25,050
weeks later they got on it. so

6827
04:12:26,600 --> 04:12:26,850
thank you for those guys there

6828
04:12:27,820 --> 04:12:28,070
was money for it thanks to

6829
04:12:30,160 --> 04:12:30,410
our other local leadership that

6830
04:12:31,740 --> 04:12:31,990
followed us through that we

6831
04:12:33,700 --> 04:12:33,950
did meet withrujillo in Santa Fe

6832
04:12:35,560 --> 04:12:35,810
and on teleconference call and

6833
04:12:37,860 --> 04:12:38,110
we we got a blessing after that

6834
04:12:39,480 --> 04:12:39,730
and thank you for that we really

6835
04:12:40,700 --> 04:12:40,950
need that highway repaved and

6836
04:12:42,920 --> 04:12:43,170
it's happening now so that

6837
04:12:44,020 --> 04:12:44,270
should be completed I think

6838
04:12:45,140 --> 04:12:45,390
probably the end of this week or

6839
04:12:46,860 --> 04:12:47,110
within the next several

6840
04:12:47,740 --> 04:12:47,990
days. Again there's so much

6841
04:12:50,020 --> 04:12:50,270
blessed thank you for that we

6842
04:12:51,660 --> 04:12:51,910
have now again I hope the

6843
04:12:54,080 --> 04:12:54,330
speeders don't speed too much

6844
04:12:56,000 --> 04:12:56,250
more but we don't we don't want

6845
04:12:58,160 --> 04:12:58,410
that you know we'd like to

6846
04:12:58,540 --> 04:12:58,790
control that so that may be

6847
04:13:00,900 --> 04:13:01,150
another issue. Again there's

6848
04:13:02,520 --> 04:13:02,770
another part that I want to

6849
04:13:03,680 --> 04:13:03,930
mention that wement as a chapter

6850
04:13:05,780 --> 04:13:06,030
advocating with other leadership

6851
04:13:07,860 --> 04:13:08,110
before was the Edward O Plumber

6852
04:13:09,720 --> 04:13:09,970
interchange 264 and highway491.

6853
04:13:13,920 --> 04:13:14,170
We need those lights back on. We

6854
04:13:16,320 --> 04:13:16,570
need those lights back on. We

6855
04:13:18,040 --> 04:13:18,290
' ve complained about that. why

6856
04:13:19,760 --> 04:13:20,010
they have not get to that we've

6857
04:13:21,360 --> 04:13:21,610
talked to the county manager

6858
04:13:22,540 --> 04:13:22,790
about this they've been

6859
04:13:24,680 --> 04:13:24,930
pointing fingers at each other

6860
04:13:26,040 --> 04:13:26,290
in the Mexico DlT counties

6861
04:13:28,480 --> 04:13:28,730
responsible and so forth so

6862
04:13:31,340 --> 04:13:31,590
that's a very big danger zone

6863
04:13:33,520 --> 04:13:33,770
guarantee you that because I go

6864
04:13:34,960 --> 04:13:35,210
through that day and night and

6865
04:13:36,420 --> 04:13:36,670
it's a problem so we need to get

6866
04:13:38,260 --> 04:13:38,510
that fixed leadership so

6867
04:13:40,500 --> 04:13:40,750
with that I have don't I

6868
04:13:42,260 --> 04:13:42,510
don't have any other much more

6869
04:13:44,560 --> 04:13:44,810
else to say but last but not

6870
04:13:47,360 --> 04:13:47,610
least

6871
04:13:48,200 --> 04:13:48,450
our school beacon flashing

6872
04:13:49,780 --> 04:13:50,030
lights in Tohachi at our main

6873
04:13:52,180 --> 04:13:52,430
school exit to our high school

6874
04:13:54,780 --> 04:13:55,030
in our elementary school we need

6875
04:13:56,500 --> 04:13:56,750
those bea and flash of lights

6876
04:13:59,380 --> 04:13:59,630
install we've complained to the

6877
04:14:00,420 --> 04:14:00,670
county for the past year or so

6878
04:14:02,600 --> 04:14:02,850
it has not been done. Anthony

04:14:05,800 --> 04:14:06,050
demis, if you're listening, I

need your help. The school is

6882
04:14:12,400 --> 04:14:12,650
not responsible for it. they

6883
04:14:14,280 --> 04:14:14,530
pointed to the county they

6884
04:14:14,893 --> 04:14:15,143
pointed to MexicodlT

6885
04:14:18,540 --> 04:14:18,790
everyone just does not want

6886
04:14:19,840 --> 04:14:20,090

6887
04:14:22,720 --> 04:14:22,970

04:15:06,220 --> 04:15:06,470
our street signs they're done

6912
04:15:07,760 --> 04:15:08,010
they're ready to go we just

6913
04:15:09,600 --> 04:15:09,850
need to we just needed to get

6914
04:15:10,940 --> 04:15:11,190
some cooler weather and that's

6915
04:15:12,500 --> 04:15:12,750
happened but we're getting rain

6916
04:15:13,760 --> 04:15:14,010
so we can't get out there to do

6917
04:15:15,560 --> 04:15:15,810
that right now but we will move

6918
04:15:16,840 --> 04:15:17,090
forward on that so

with committee members

6934
04:15:50,120 --> 04:15:50,370
And I did see chance came in

6935
04:15:52,600 --> 04:15:52,850
hello come on that

04:15:56,720 --> 04:15:56,970
is it just you?

6938
04:15:58,440 --> 04:15:58,690
they can join you just as long

6939
04:15:59,860 --> 04:16:00,110
as they introduce themselves.

6940
04:16:01,713 --> 04:16:01,963
Oh neararley

6941
04:16:04,580 --> 04:16:04,830
excellent we feel I wonder if

6942
04:16:05,830 --> 04:16:06,080
he's nervous sit up

6943
04:16:12,690 --> 04:16:12,940
So is he overseeing you are you

6944
04:16:14,750 --> 04:16:15,000
overseeing him? I'm just kidding

6945
04:16:18,447 --> 04:16:18,697
do we have an extra

6946
04:16:25,700 --> 04:16:25,950
don't have don't have anything

6947
04:16:31,900 --> 04:16:32,150
don't have any anything I'll

6948
04:16:33,180 --> 04:16:33,430
check my email but I didn't this

6949
04:16:34,880 --> 04:16:35,130
morning

6950
04:16:48,120 --> 04:16:48,370
we were at a different location

6951
04:16:49,500 --> 04:16:49,750
and this was one of our

6952
04:16:52,220 --> 04:16:52,470
I think they're gonna so we'll

6953
04:16:54,540 --> 04:16:54,790
take a five minute break here

6954
04:16:56,620 --> 04:16:56,870
before we convene no it's ok

6955
04:16:59,660 --> 04:16:59,910
if it helps you move through the

6956
04:17:01,220 --> 04:17:01,470
rep representation that'll help

6957
04:17:02,740 --> 04:17:02,990
us

6958
04:17:03,980 --> 04:17:04,230
so we don't have so many

6959
04:17:05,120 --> 04:17:05,370
questions if we can read

6960
04:17:07,520 --> 04:17:07,770
or if he can just get a laptop

6961
04:17:16,920 --> 04:17:17,170
to him

6962
04:17:19,100 --> 04:17:19,350
Nnicole if he can just get a

6963
04:17:19,800 --> 04:17:20,050
laptop oh he has his laptop you

6964
04:17:20,434 --> 04:17:20,684
can't read off your

6965
04:17:21,903 --> 04:17:22,153
yeah

6966
04:17:26,009 --> 04:17:26,259
ok give them the internet it's

6967
04:17:27,678 --> 04:17:27,928
internet password

6968
04:24:18,640 --> 04:24:18,890
members that you may begin

6969
04:24:26,390 --> 04:24:26,640
Testing madam chair and members

6970
04:24:29,230 --> 04:24:29,480
of the committee we just thank

6971
04:24:30,550 --> 04:24:30,800
you for inviting us up here to

6972
04:24:32,370 --> 04:24:32,620
talk with you guys about modular

6973
04:24:34,850 --> 04:24:35,100
housing. I'm Chance Mitchell. my

6974
04:24:37,310 --> 04:24:37,560
dad here is Jim Mitchell and

6975
04:24:39,350 --> 04:24:39,600
over the last three or four

6976
04:24:40,590 --> 04:24:40,840
years we've spent our lives

6977
04:24:44,050 --> 04:24:44,300
sort of renovating a420,000

6978
04:24:47,750 --> 04:24:48,000
square foot bus plant that we've

6979
04:24:49,590 --> 04:24:49,840
now converted into a modular

6980
04:24:51,530 --> 04:24:51,780
homeme factory providing

6981
04:24:53,050 --> 04:24:53,300
homes for areas all across

6982
04:24:55,470 --> 04:24:55,720
the state and

6983
04:24:56,210 --> 04:24:56,460
so my my goal the reason that we

6984
04:24:59,050 --> 04:24:59,300
came up here is I I would just

6985
04:25:02,130 --> 04:25:02,380
like to communicate what a good

6986
04:25:04,190 --> 04:25:04,440
and what a permanent solution

6987
04:25:05,770 --> 04:25:06,020
that modular housing can be for

6988
04:25:07,890 --> 04:25:08,140
rural and tribal communities.

6989
04:25:12,750 --> 04:25:13,000
So little presentation overview

6990
04:25:15,150 --> 04:25:15,400
so originally we'd have a set

6991
04:25:16,970 --> 04:25:17,220
video just a video of us

6992
04:25:18,930 --> 04:25:19,180
actually setting the homes but

6993
04:25:20,550 --> 04:25:20,800
I think I'm having some

6994
04:25:22,350 --> 04:25:22,600
technical difficulties so we'll

6995
04:25:24,510 --> 04:25:24,760
we'll have to do without that

6996
04:25:25,610 --> 04:25:25,860
but I'm going to talk about

6997
04:25:28,390 --> 04:25:28,640
modular housing from a general

6998
04:25:30,950 --> 04:25:31,200
point of view. First, what are

6999
04:25:33,290 --> 04:25:33,540
the benefits? what is it and

7000
04:25:35,390 --> 04:25:35,640
after that I'm going to talk

7001
04:25:36,810 --> 04:25:37,060
about fortified our company and

7002
04:25:38,830 --> 04:25:39,080
sort of how we stand out how we

7003
04:25:40,910 --> 04:25:41,160
can just help

7004
04:25:42,810 --> 04:25:43,060
communities around New Mexico.

7005
04:25:47,510 --> 04:25:47,760
that video

7006
04:25:49,090 --> 04:25:49,340
I did include this picture

7007
04:25:50,570 --> 04:25:50,820
though so this is a project

7008
04:25:52,470 --> 04:25:52,720
that we have

7009
04:25:53,910 --> 04:25:54,160
just completed in Redriver

7010
04:25:58,650 --> 04:25:58,900
this summer. it from the time we

7011
04:25:59,710 --> 04:25:59,960
went under contract with the

7012
04:26:00,930 --> 04:26:01,180
town of Red River to the time we

7013
04:26:02,470 --> 04:26:02,720
actually got the homes on the

7014
04:26:03,490 --> 04:26:03,740
ground was 2 months so and I

7015
04:26:05,910 --> 04:26:06,160
think that's pretty unheard of

7016
04:26:07,350 --> 04:26:07,600
when you're working with

7017
04:26:08,330 --> 04:26:08,580
local governments and whatnot

7018
04:26:10,290 --> 04:26:10,540
but I think it is a testament

7019
04:26:12,650 --> 04:26:12,900
to the the speed of our building

7020
04:26:16,630 --> 04:26:16,880
processes so yes the the

7021
04:26:19,030 --> 04:26:19,280
community up there is using

7022
04:26:20,270 --> 04:26:20,520
these town homemes for workforce

7023
04:26:22,270 --> 04:26:22,520
housing

7024
04:26:25,310 --> 04:26:25,560
why modular

7025
04:26:27,190 --> 04:26:27,440
so

7026
04:26:27,710 --> 04:26:27,960
let's just talk about the

7027
04:26:29,610 --> 04:26:29,860
quality of modular first so we

7028
04:26:32,570 --> 04:26:32,820
build everything in an enclosed

7029
04:26:34,390 --> 04:26:34,640
environment that in itself we

7030
04:26:36,890 --> 04:26:37,140
have a roof over our heads while

7031
04:26:38,230 --> 04:26:38,480
while we build our homes so we

7032
04:26:40,970 --> 04:26:41,220
are not dealing with weather

7033
04:26:42,210 --> 04:26:42,460
delays or weather damage to our

7034
04:26:44,770 --> 04:26:45,020
materials we're not dealing with

7035
04:26:46,810 --> 04:26:47,060
any theft or any of the

7036
04:26:49,950 --> 04:26:50,200
issues that would come with just

7037
04:26:52,850 --> 04:26:53,100
the elements. I mean if you

7038
04:26:54,410 --> 04:26:54,660
think that you can get your cut

7039
04:26:56,070 --> 04:26:56,320
your angle as pre

7040
04:26:57,210 --> 04:26:57,460
ci se as I can when I'm cutting

7041
04:26:59,010 --> 04:26:59,260
in a building and you're out

7042
04:27:00,290 --> 04:27:00,540
there in the rain and the mud

7043
04:27:01,530 --> 04:27:01,780
and the wind. I'll take you up

7044
04:27:02,890 --> 04:27:03,140
on that challenge all day long.

7045
04:27:06,350 --> 04:27:06,600
streamlined processes we we

7046
04:27:06,850 --> 04:27:07,100
build everything ination we have

7047
04:27:08,970 --> 04:27:09,220
our materials right there we're

7048
04:27:10,690 --> 04:27:10,940
not running to Home Depot 20

7049
04:27:11,970 --> 04:27:12,220
times a day like a normal site

7050
04:27:14,510 --> 04:27:14,760
builder would

7051
04:27:15,110 --> 04:27:15,360
and we're able to build a lot

7052
04:27:18,690 --> 04:27:18,940
faster because of our

7053
04:27:20,070 --> 04:27:20,320
streamlined processes and a lot

7054
04:27:21,170 --> 04:27:21,420
better our people do the same

7055
04:27:23,930 --> 04:27:24,180
thing every day in the same

7056
04:27:25,630 --> 04:27:25,880
place. The the quality becomes

7057
04:27:27,630 --> 04:27:27,880
very good

7058
04:27:28,690 --> 04:27:28,940
engineered for durability. so

7059
04:27:31,770 --> 04:27:32,020
one of the differences between

7060
04:27:33,610 --> 04:27:33,860
modular and like a manufactured

7061
04:27:36,450 --> 04:27:36,700
or a mobile home is we build to

7062
04:27:39,290 --> 04:27:39,540
the IRc the International

7063
04:27:41,290 --> 04:27:41,540
residential code it's the same

7064
04:27:43,270 --> 04:27:43,520
code that a regular site builder

7065
04:27:44,890 --> 04:27:45,140
would build to

7066
04:27:45,570 --> 04:27:45,820
whereas a mobile manufactured

7067
04:27:49,350 --> 04:27:49,600
home they build to theU code

7068
04:27:53,450 --> 04:27:53,700
which think section 8 housing

7069
04:27:54,290 --> 04:27:54,540
it's a code created for just

7070
04:27:57,430 --> 04:27:57,680
purely affordable you know this

7071
04:27:59,570 --> 04:27:59,820
is these are homes that have a

7072
04:28:00,810 --> 04:28:01,060
shelf life they deteriorate

7073
04:28:02,230 --> 04:28:02,480
eventually you're gonna have to

7074
04:28:04,110 --> 04:28:04,360
replace it. there's a place for

7075
04:28:05,470 --> 04:28:05,720
it in the market but it's not a

7076
04:28:06,930 --> 04:28:07,180
permanent solution

7077
04:28:07,670 --> 04:28:07,920
these are engineered at

7078
04:28:11,630 --> 04:28:11,880
the same code that a site

7079
04:28:12,770 --> 04:28:13,020
builder would use except we

7080
04:28:14,330 --> 04:28:14,580
actually overengineer them

7081
04:28:15,490 --> 04:28:15,740
because we do put them on a

7082
04:28:16,790 --> 04:28:17,040
truck, lift them up with a crane

7083
04:28:18,130 --> 04:28:18,380
and so they they are very very

7084
04:28:20,670 --> 04:28:20,920
sturdy homes

7085
04:28:21,370 --> 04:28:21,620
faster build timeline I sort

7086
04:28:25,750 --> 04:28:26,000
of talked about that with the

7087
04:28:29,090 --> 04:28:29,340
streamlined processes I guess

7088
04:28:30,610 --> 04:28:30,860
but

7089
04:28:31,330 --> 04:28:31,580
right now in our factory we

7090
04:28:34,870 --> 04:28:35,120
complete a home in 22 business

7091
04:28:37,110 --> 04:28:37,360
days so very quick build

7092
04:28:40,290 --> 04:28:40,540
timeline in the factory during

7093
04:28:42,110 --> 04:28:42,360
those 22 business days we're out

7094
04:28:43,650 --> 04:28:43,900
there on site doing the

7095
04:28:44,710 --> 04:28:44,960
foundation and so the

7096
04:28:47,610 --> 04:28:47,860
foundation's ready when the home

7097
04:28:48,310 --> 04:28:48,560
comes out. you got about four

7098
04:28:50,110 --> 04:28:50,360
weeks of stitch up after the

7099
04:28:51,990 --> 04:28:52,240
home actually comes out gets set

7100
04:28:53,450 --> 04:28:53,700
on the foundation and so you're

7101
04:28:55,270 --> 04:28:55,520
looking at a two month to three

7102
04:28:57,810 --> 04:28:58,060
months at the most build

7103
04:28:59,050 --> 04:28:59,300
timeline when you

7104
04:29:01,670 --> 04:29:01,920
go with one of

7105
04:29:02,810 --> 04:29:03,060
a standard typical home that we

7106
04:29:05,910 --> 04:29:06,160
built and you know compared to a

7107
04:29:07,990 --> 04:29:08,240
site built you're you're looking

7108
04:29:09,450 --> 04:29:09,700
at six months at the minimum,

7109
04:29:11,370 --> 04:29:11,620
especially in one of these rural

7110
04:29:12,530 --> 04:29:12,780
communities. I mean you're

7111
04:29:13,650 --> 04:29:13,900
probably looking at closer to a

7112
04:29:14,890 --> 04:29:15,140
year or more than a year

7113
04:29:15,830 --> 04:29:16,080
so

7114
04:29:18,810 --> 04:29:19,060
we we save a lot of time and we

7115
04:29:22,590 --> 04:29:22,840
also save people a lot of money

7116
04:29:24,210 --> 04:29:24,460
so

7117
04:29:25,030 --> 04:29:25,280
affordability I just did this

7118
04:29:27,830 --> 04:29:28,080
little mockup estimate if we

7119
04:29:31,510 --> 04:29:31,760
were just going to go

7120
04:29:33,770 --> 04:29:34,020
to Ta and build a home. really

7121
04:29:34,990 --> 04:29:35,240
we could do this in any rural

7122
04:29:36,090 --> 04:29:36,340
community. I chose Taos because

7123
04:29:38,370 --> 04:29:38,620
it's people can't build there

7124
04:29:40,070 --> 04:29:40,320
for less than400 a foot right

7125
04:29:41,550 --> 04:29:41,800
now it's the housing market has

7126
04:29:43,370 --> 04:29:43,620
just gotten crazy. minus the

7127
04:29:46,030 --> 04:29:46,280
land this would be our cost if

7128
04:29:48,170 --> 04:29:48,420
we were to go up there and build

7129
04:29:49,330 --> 04:29:49,580
a home between the foundation

7130
04:29:52,510 --> 04:29:52,760
of everything to get the home

7131
04:29:53,870 --> 04:29:54,120
actually turnkey we're looking

7132
04:29:56,610 --> 04:29:56,860
at160 bucks a foot to build it

7133
04:29:58,170 --> 04:29:58,420
whereas yeah intas site builders

7134
04:30:00,420 --> 04:30:00,670
can't build a home for less

7135
04:30:01,074 --> 04:30:01,324
than400 buck

7136
04:30:03,000 --> 04:30:03,250
a foot frankly so

7137
04:30:04,320 --> 04:30:04,570
when I say this is a a good

7138
04:30:07,680 --> 04:30:07,930
solution for our rural

7139
04:30:08,760 --> 04:30:09,010
communities. I I really do mean

7140
04:30:10,240 --> 04:30:10,490
it.

7141
04:30:15,100 --> 04:30:15,350
greener

7142
04:30:15,740 --> 04:30:15,990
I I know that we are facing so

7143
04:30:18,380 --> 04:30:18,630
many issues and topics around

7144
04:30:22,220 --> 04:30:22,470
just the issue of waste so

7145
04:30:25,220 --> 04:30:25,470
modular with our streamlined

7146
04:30:26,580 --> 04:30:26,830
processes with our lack of

7147
04:30:28,780 --> 04:30:29,030
weather damage theft, you name

7148
04:30:31,680 --> 04:30:31,930
it. we use about30% of the waste

7149
04:30:34,580 --> 04:30:34,830
that a site builder would use

7150
04:30:36,620 --> 04:30:36,870
for building a home so think

7151
04:30:37,780 --> 04:30:38,030
we would use like a55 gallon

7152
04:30:40,960 --> 04:30:41,210
dumpster loaded up per home

7153
04:30:44,200 --> 04:30:44,450
whereas a site builder would

7154
04:30:45,160 --> 04:30:45,410
probably use two semi trucks

7155
04:30:46,820 --> 04:30:47,070
of waste so it's a very green

7156
04:30:56,850 --> 04:30:57,100
y fortify it so now we'll talk

7157
04:30:57,530 --> 04:30:57,780
about fortified structures our

7158
04:30:59,050 --> 04:30:59,300
actual company what sets us

7159
04:31:00,490 --> 04:31:00,740
apart and how we can help

7160
04:31:02,210 --> 04:31:02,460
so we are very vertical

7161
04:31:04,930 --> 04:31:05,180
vertically integrated we

7162
04:31:07,850 --> 04:31:08,100
originally started as a civil

7163
04:31:09,430 --> 04:31:09,680
construction company. my

7164
04:31:11,350 --> 04:31:11,600
parents started JNhervices about

7165
04:31:14,050 --> 04:31:14,300
30 years ago and have run it in

7166
04:31:17,110 --> 04:31:17,360
southeast New Mexico building

7167
04:31:18,430 --> 04:31:18,680
bridges highways since then

7168
04:31:22,050 --> 04:31:22,300
have acquired an asphalt plant a

7169
04:31:23,870 --> 04:31:24,120
concrete plant and so when

7170
04:31:26,050 --> 04:31:26,300
somebody hires us we don't just

7171
04:31:28,470 --> 04:31:28,720
build the houses we actually do

7172
04:31:30,270 --> 04:31:30,520
the civil engineering we do the

7173
04:31:31,950 --> 04:31:32,200
dirt work and everything

7174
04:31:33,070 --> 04:31:33,320
because we see a lot of these

7175
04:31:34,390 --> 04:31:34,640
municipalities when they get

7176
04:31:36,230 --> 04:31:36,480
funding from the state the first

7177
04:31:37,790 --> 04:31:38,040
place they'll go is they'll hire

7178
04:31:39,170 --> 04:31:39,420
a super expensive engineer spent

7179
04:31:41,310 --> 04:31:41,560
half the project money on an

7180
04:31:42,590 --> 04:31:42,840
engineer that engineers the

7181
04:31:43,950 --> 04:31:44,200
project to be way more expensive

7182
04:31:45,930 --> 04:31:46,180
than anything they can afford

7183
04:31:47,490 --> 04:31:47,740
and then the project doesn't get

7184
04:31:48,550 --> 04:31:48,800
done and so when you're able to

7185
04:31:50,590 --> 04:31:50,840
keep this whole project in house

7186
04:31:53,290 --> 04:31:53,540
you know we're able to

7187
04:31:55,110 --> 04:31:55,360
understand the customers values

7188
04:31:57,890 --> 04:31:58,140
the end goals and from start to

7189
04:31:59,730 --> 04:31:59,980
finish we're able to stay on the

7190
04:32:01,650 --> 04:32:01,900
same page with everybody

7191
04:32:02,890 --> 04:32:03,140
because we're we handle the

7192
04:32:05,630 --> 04:32:05,880
whole process so yeah we from

7193
04:32:08,150 --> 04:32:08,400
the civil engineering to the

7194
04:32:10,250 --> 04:32:10,500
actual homes being turnkey

7195
04:32:13,570 --> 04:32:13,820
ready. we handle that

7196
04:32:17,700 --> 04:32:17,950
we don't

7197
04:32:18,540 --> 04:32:18,790
let me just say we don't have to

7198
04:32:19,980 --> 04:32:20,230
handle that if a municipality or

7199
04:32:22,420 --> 04:32:22,670
somebody was to say hey we have

7200
04:32:24,300 --> 04:32:24,550
these lots already developed you

7201
04:32:25,940 --> 04:32:26,190
know that's not something that

7202
04:32:26,980 --> 04:32:27,230
we have to do but we we have

7203
04:32:29,100 --> 04:32:29,350
capacity to take care of the

7204
04:32:30,960 --> 04:32:31,210
whole thing

7205
04:32:34,080 --> 04:32:34,330
unique business structure so

7206
04:32:35,880 --> 04:32:36,130
because all the factory because

7207
04:32:38,360 --> 04:32:38,610
the factory does all the heavy

7208
04:32:39,780 --> 04:32:40,030
lifting by building the homes in

7209
04:32:41,720 --> 04:32:41,970
the

7210
04:32:41,920 --> 04:32:42,170
plant we are able to qualify a

7211
04:32:46,700 --> 04:32:46,950
lot of contractors in local

7212
04:32:48,280 --> 04:32:48,530
areas that we're building that

7213
04:32:49,660 --> 04:32:49,910
maybe wouldn't be able to handle

7214
04:32:52,820 --> 04:32:53,070
all the capacity if they were

7215
04:32:54,980 --> 04:32:55,230
just to build100% of the homes.

7216
04:32:57,480 --> 04:32:57,730
so when we go to a different

7217
04:33:00,400 --> 04:33:00,650
community our goal is to utilize

7218
04:33:02,440 --> 04:33:02,690
the local

7219
04:33:03,060 --> 04:33:03,310
workforce boost the economy,

7220
04:33:07,100 --> 04:33:07,350
buy the new homes and also buy

7221
04:33:08,620 --> 04:33:08,870
the labor because yeah the the

7222
04:33:11,900 --> 04:33:12,150
amount of work that gets done on

7223
04:33:14,100 --> 04:33:14,350
site is relatively easy.

7224
04:33:17,840 --> 04:33:18,090
so

7225
04:33:18,440 --> 04:33:18,690
there you go and yeah we're

7226
04:33:20,880 --> 04:33:21,130
we're

7227
04:33:21,700 --> 04:33:21,950
constantly scaling across the

7228
04:33:24,720 --> 04:33:24,970
southwest by we have

7229
04:33:27,040 --> 04:33:27,290
customers who are buying

7230
04:33:29,200 --> 04:33:29,450
licenses to their areas I

7231
04:33:32,380 --> 04:33:32,630
guess and they're just buying

7232
04:33:34,040 --> 04:33:34,290
our home straight out of the

7233
04:33:34,960 --> 04:33:35,210
factory and putting their homes

7234
04:33:37,860 --> 04:33:38,110
in their local areas and

7235
04:33:39,640 --> 04:33:39,890
that's sort of how we've been

7236
04:33:41,840 --> 04:33:42,090
scaling and serving communities

7237
04:33:43,800 --> 04:33:44,050
far fromRoswell.

7238
04:33:47,840 --> 04:33:48,090
so

7239
04:33:48,280 --> 04:33:48,530
here's a bit of our current

7240
04:33:49,680 --> 04:33:49,930
speed incompa capacity right now

7241
04:33:53,260 --> 04:33:53,510
so our current production is two

7242
04:33:55,720 --> 04:33:55,970
modules a day

7243
04:33:56,960 --> 04:33:57,210
we we work in terms of modules

7244
04:33:58,580 --> 04:33:58,830
because a home can be one

7245
04:34:00,360 --> 04:34:00,610
module, a home could be10

7246
04:34:01,680 --> 04:34:01,930
modules it really just depends

7247
04:34:02,940 --> 04:34:03,190
on the home. So think the

7248
04:34:04,740 --> 04:34:04,990
average home is about 2 modules

7249
04:34:06,560 --> 04:34:06,810
so we're building a house a day

7250
04:34:08,000 --> 04:34:08,250
right now out of the factory.

7251
04:34:10,180 --> 04:34:10,430
Our goal by the end of 227 is to

7252
04:34:12,540 --> 04:34:12,790
double that and then once we

7253
04:34:15,260 --> 04:34:15,510
double that we'll open up our

7254
04:34:16,840 --> 04:34:17,090
second production line through

7255
04:34:18,000 --> 04:34:18,250
the plant because really only

7256
04:34:21,160 --> 04:34:21,410
using30 or40% of it right now

7257
04:34:22,580 --> 04:34:22,830
the actual square footage in our

7258
04:34:24,040 --> 04:34:24,290
factory

7259
04:34:28,030 --> 04:34:28,280
so that that's a little bit

7260
04:34:29,370 --> 04:34:29,620
about us. I look forward to any

7261
04:34:30,690 --> 04:34:30,940
questions that you guys have

7262
04:34:33,350 --> 04:34:33,600
that's our director of sales

7263
04:34:35,130 --> 04:34:35,380
contact info but I also have

7264
04:34:37,290 --> 04:34:37,540
business cards that I'd love to

7265
04:34:38,370 --> 04:34:38,620
hand out with with mine as well

7266
04:34:43,079 --> 04:34:43,329
committee memberspresentative

7267
04:34:43,623 --> 04:34:43,873
Abela

7268
04:34:46,400 --> 04:34:46,650
thank you chair. thank you Mr.

7269

Mitchell for your

7270
04:34:48,800 --> 04:34:49,050
presentation and for also

7271
04:34:50,900 --> 04:34:51,150
bringing your father a quick

7272
04:34:52,720 --> 04:34:52,970
question

7273
04:34:53,640 --> 04:34:53,890
quick question well multiple

7274
04:34:57,160 --> 04:34:57,410
questions the Red river

7275
04:34:58,940 --> 04:34:59,190
structure that you showed up

7276
04:35:00,080 --> 04:35:00,330
here can you give me a little

7277
04:35:01,100 --> 04:35:01,350
bit of the details about what it

7278
04:35:02,700 --> 04:35:02,950
was and how much that costs

7279
04:35:06,340 --> 04:35:06,590
madam Chairpresentative, thank

7280
04:35:08,680 --> 04:35:08,930
you for asking that question.

7281
04:35:10,220 --> 04:35:10,470
Yes so the

7282
04:35:11,640 --> 04:35:11,890
town of Red River approached us

7283
04:35:14,500 --> 04:35:14,750
they needed workforce housing

7284
04:35:16,080 --> 04:35:16,330
they have

7285
04:35:16,880 --> 04:35:17,130
the same issue that a lot of

7286
04:35:18,860 --> 04:35:19,110
these rural, especially these

7287
04:35:21,060 --> 04:35:21,310
mountain towns have where the

7288
04:35:22,440 --> 04:35:22,690
real estate has become so

7289
04:35:23,620 --> 04:35:23,870
expensive that the people who

7290
04:35:24,980 --> 04:35:25,230
actually run the town can't live

7291
04:35:26,180 --> 04:35:26,430
there.

7292
04:35:27,600 --> 04:35:27,850
so

7293
04:35:28,080 --> 04:35:28,330
we came in

7294
04:35:30,200 --> 04:35:30,450
we completed the homes and set

7295
04:35:32,620 --> 04:35:32,870
the homes within two months and

7296
04:35:33,960 --> 04:35:34,210
then we we actually did the site

7297
04:35:37,100 --> 04:35:37,350
work after that

7298
04:35:41,240 --> 04:35:41,490
now

7299
04:35:41,780 --> 04:35:42,030
I I believe the cost was around

7300
04:35:44,400 --> 04:35:44,650
250 b a square foot. that's

7301
04:35:46,820 --> 04:35:47,070
probably not the exact number

7302
04:35:48,440 --> 04:35:48,690
but that's that's where we were

7303
04:35:50,320 --> 04:35:50,570
to to build that turnkey whereas

7304
04:35:56,360 --> 04:35:56,610
yeah do you have anything else

7305
04:35:57,520 --> 04:35:57,770
to say? Yeah I could speak to

7306
04:35:59,040 --> 04:35:59,290
that a little bit so each one of

7307
04:36:00,560 --> 04:36:00,810
those units is1280 square feet

7308
04:36:03,100 --> 04:36:03,350
there

7309
04:36:05,260 --> 04:36:05,510
they were right around 250 a

7310
04:36:05,688 --> 04:36:05,938
foot with the

7311
04:36:07,960 --> 04:36:08,210
the government procurement side

7312
04:36:11,800 --> 04:36:12,050
because everything in the

7313
04:36:13,160 --> 04:36:13,410
factory we were able to not pay

7314
04:36:15,200 --> 04:36:15,450
the wage rate decision but

7315
04:36:16,380 --> 04:36:16,630
everything on site had to be bid

7316
04:36:18,720 --> 04:36:18,970
as wage rate decision. we

7317
04:36:21,020 --> 04:36:21,270
helped them with all the

7318
04:36:21,900 --> 04:36:22,150
engineering and it also being

7319
04:36:25,680 --> 04:36:25,930
in Red River had to be zonefi

7320
04:36:28,040 --> 04:36:28,290
insulated and approved for that

7321
04:36:30,840 --> 04:36:31,090
so that added to the cost to

7322
04:36:32,240 --> 04:36:32,490
some degree their quote for this

7323
04:36:34,080 --> 04:36:34,330
project was near50000 of the

7324
04:36:39,440 --> 04:36:39,690
so came in at half that yeah we

7325
04:36:40,600 --> 04:36:40,850
were just right at half of

7326
04:36:41,840 --> 04:36:42,090
what they were thinking it was

7327
04:36:43,840 --> 04:36:44,090
going to cost them

7328
04:36:46,220 --> 04:36:46,470
you chair thank you Mr.

7329
04:36:47,460 --> 04:36:47,710
Mitchell. So just to clarify the

7330
04:36:49,080 --> 04:36:49,330
original estimate was500,000

7331
04:36:51,220 --> 04:36:51,470
because that was going to

7332
04:36:52,640 --> 04:36:52,890
include engineering and other

7333
04:36:54,300 --> 04:36:54,550
prep work but at the end of the

7334
04:36:55,980 --> 04:36:56,230
project it was

7335
04:36:56,780 --> 04:36:57,030
$250 per square foot. Right

7336
04:37:01,920 --> 04:37:02,170
correct right well no they they

7337
04:37:03,700 --> 04:37:03,950
estimate to build it on site

7338
04:37:06,240 --> 04:37:06,490
with a local contractor was500 a

7339
04:37:08,980 --> 04:37:09,230
foot by using us they saved

7340
04:37:10,600 --> 04:37:10,850
half. Thank you I misunderstood

7341
04:37:12,440 --> 04:37:12,690
that thank you madam Chair Mr.

7342
04:37:14,600 --> 04:37:14,850
Mitchell. OK

7343
04:37:15,920 --> 04:37:16,170
I think that's a great idea

7344
04:37:17,680 --> 04:37:17,930
for a lot of our rural schools

7345
04:37:19,140 --> 04:37:19,390
that are grappling with how

7346
04:37:21,420 --> 04:37:21,670
we're going to provide teacher

7347
04:37:22,500 --> 04:37:22,750
housing so this is interesting

7348
04:37:25,620 --> 04:37:25,870
so can you tell me what was

7349
04:37:27,380 --> 04:37:27,630
the total cost then?

7350
04:37:31,000 --> 04:37:31,250
they had some additional costs

7351
04:37:32,900 --> 04:37:33,150
there was some facilities here

7352
04:37:34,120 --> 04:37:34,370
that they dem demoed to make

7353
04:37:36,760 --> 04:37:37,010
room for this. I believe our

7354
04:37:38,980 --> 04:37:39,230
contract was right around 2

7355
04:37:41,040 --> 04:37:41,290
million and it

7356
04:37:44,500 --> 04:37:44,750
I didn't mention but all all

7357
04:37:46,660 --> 04:37:46,910
those units were a three bedroom

7358
04:37:48,420 --> 04:37:48,670
two bath

7359
04:37:48,900 --> 04:37:49,150
units

7360
04:37:54,560 --> 04:37:54,810
Thank you chair and Mr Mitchell

7361
04:37:56,960 --> 04:37:57,210
my next question is

7362
04:37:59,760 --> 04:38:00,010
you may have answered this a

7363
04:38:02,100 --> 04:38:02,350
while ago you had talked about

7364
04:38:03,340 --> 04:38:03,590
how you use the local workforce

7365
04:38:05,380 --> 04:38:05,630
but you build in your facility

7366
04:38:09,160 --> 04:38:09,410
so is a a a crew taken out? Is

7367
04:38:12,060 --> 04:38:12,310
is that the work what what's the

7368
04:38:13,760 --> 04:38:14,010
local workforce helplp me

7369
04:38:14,780 --> 04:38:15,030
understand that madam Chair

7370
04:38:17,780 --> 04:38:18,030
andpresentative thank you for

7371
04:38:18,080 --> 04:38:18,330
that question. I'd love to

7372
04:38:19,340 --> 04:38:19,590
clarify it so the actual home

7373
04:38:22,480 --> 04:38:22,730
like you you see these we can

7374
04:38:24,360 --> 04:38:24,610
just look at this for example so

7375
04:38:26,280 --> 04:38:26,530
the home when you walk in

7376
04:38:29,760 --> 04:38:30,010
there the cabinet

7377
04:38:30,880 --> 04:38:31,130
s the flooring, the countertops,

7378
04:38:32,380 --> 04:38:32,630
the bathrooms that was all done

7379
04:38:34,360 --> 04:38:34,610
in the factory. However, there

7380
04:38:36,820 --> 04:38:37,070
are certain things that need to

7381
04:38:37,860 --> 04:38:38,110
take place on site once we

7382
04:38:39,200 --> 04:38:39,450
actually set the home on the

7383
04:38:40,300 --> 04:38:40,550
foundation. Well, one the

7384
04:38:42,040 --> 04:38:42,290
foundation needs to be poured on

7385
04:38:43,660 --> 04:38:43,910
site. that metal roof had to be

7386
04:38:46,100 --> 04:38:46,350
done on site. there's a little

7387
04:38:47,740 --> 04:38:47,990
bit of the sighting that has to

7388
04:38:49,440 --> 04:38:49,690
marry up a little bit of

7389
04:38:52,540 --> 04:38:52,790
interior work plumbing

7390
04:38:54,200 --> 04:38:54,450
connections, electrical

7391
04:38:55,580 --> 04:38:55,830
connections and that has to be

7392
04:38:58,100 --> 04:38:58,350
done on site and so we can use

7393
04:39:00,640 --> 04:39:00,890
our local

7394
04:39:01,760 --> 04:39:02,010
trade

7395
04:39:03,560 --> 04:39:03,810
force that we use inRoswell

7396
04:39:07,240 --> 04:39:07,490
arttesia but

7397
04:39:07,620 --> 04:39:07,870
we prefer and we know that the

7398
04:39:10,140 --> 04:39:10,390
communities prefer that we use

7399
04:39:11,720 --> 04:39:11,970
their local

7400
04:39:12,280 --> 04:39:12,530
workforce because it's

7401
04:39:14,720 --> 04:39:14,970
relatively easy stuff it it's

7402
04:39:16,820 --> 04:39:17,070
not anything that a regular

7403
04:39:20,300 --> 04:39:20,550
contractor can't handle

7404
04:39:22,780 --> 04:39:23,030
you for that answer chair and

7405
04:39:25,020 --> 04:39:25,270
Mr Mitchell, my last question is

7406
04:39:26,700 --> 04:39:26,950
what are the warranties on these

7407
04:39:28,560 --> 04:39:28,810
types of structures

7408
04:39:31,460 --> 04:39:31,710
madam chair andre representative

7409
04:39:33,420 --> 04:39:33,670
we offer a one year bumper to

7410
04:39:37,100 --> 04:39:37,350
bumper warranty on all our new

7411
04:39:39,180 --> 04:39:39,430
homes and then they also come

7412
04:39:41,360 --> 04:39:41,610
with a twoyear mechanical

7413
04:39:43,040 --> 04:39:43,290
plumbing warranty so think the

7414
04:39:46,780 --> 04:39:47,030
Ac goes out within the first two

7415
04:39:48,440 --> 04:39:48,690
years we'll we'll go fix that

7416
04:39:50,280 --> 04:39:50,530
and then they have a 10 year

7417
04:39:51,560 --> 04:39:51,810
structural warranty. anything

7418
04:39:52,820 --> 04:39:53,070
happens with the foundation

7419
04:39:56,060 --> 04:39:56,310
whatnot in the 1st 10 years

7420
04:39:56,680 --> 04:39:56,930
we'll go and fix that

7421
04:40:00,120 --> 04:40:00,370
you have one more question thank

7422
04:40:02,060 --> 04:40:02,310
you have you

04:40:04,540 --> 04:40:04,790
chaired Mr Mitchell have you

public schools tribally

7426
04:40:09,340 --> 04:40:09,590
controlled schools, private

7427
04:40:10,460 --> 04:40:10,710
schools to provide teacher

7428
04:40:12,080 --> 04:40:12,330
housing or tribally

7429
04:40:14,440 --> 04:40:14,690

housing? have you worked with

7433
04:40:21,500 --> 04:40:21,750
them and can you tell us about

7434
04:40:22,480 --> 04:40:22,730
those

7435
04:40:25,288 --> 04:40:25,538
madam chair andres

representative, my dad can

7437
04:40:26,880 --> 04:40:27,130
probably speak a little more to

7438
04:40:29,880 --> 04:40:30,130
this we haven't had any teacher

7439
04:40:33,600 --> 04:40:33,850
housing projects that we've

7440
04:40:35,800 --> 04:40:36,050
completed yet we're in the works

7441
04:40:37,320 --> 04:40:37,570
on a couple but I know that

7442
04:40:40,820 --> 04:40:41,070
JNh services the civil side has

7443
04:40:42,480 --> 04:40:42,730
done a lot and we are CES

7444
04:40:44,520 --> 04:40:44,770
approved so we we can do that

7445
04:40:47,440 --> 04:40:47,690

04:41:33,900 --> 04:41:34,150
that and I'm also glad I didn't

7469
04:41:35,280 --> 04:41:35,530
hear of any restrictions or any

7470
04:41:37,260 --> 04:41:37,510
concerns that you had that the

7471
04:41:39,120 --> 04:41:39,370
federal government doesn't allow

7472
04:41:40,320 --> 04:41:40,570
that type of contracting with

7473
04:41:42,220 --> 04:41:42,470
modular buildings sounds like

7474
04:41:43,820 --> 04:41:44,070
they do so yes ma'am so just

7475
04:41:46,340 --> 04:41:46,590
because it's modular it it it

7476
04:41:48,320 --> 04:41:48,570
appreciates everything about it

7477
04:41:50,780 --> 04:41:51,030
as as if it's on site belt.

7478
04:41:53,840 --> 04:41:54,090
and and it's actually better

7479
04:41:55,680 --> 04:41:55,930
quality.

7480
04:41:57,760 --> 04:41:58,010

you would have been proud very

7486
04:42:09,040 --> 04:42:09,290
proud of your son100 time full

7487
04:42:11,600 --> 04:42:11,850
because he presented before the

7488
04:42:13,180 --> 04:42:13,430
economic and rural

7489
04:42:14,720 --> 04:42:14,970
development when we met in

7490
04:42:17,700 --> 04:42:17,950
uhRoswell and part of our

7491
04:42:18,760 --> 04:42:19,010
conversation madam chairir was

7492
04:42:20,640 --> 04:42:20,890
we encouraged him to reach out

7493
04:42:22,920 --> 04:42:23,170
to various interim committees

7494
04:42:25,370 --> 04:42:25,620
around the state because we were

7495
04:42:26,800 --> 04:42:27,050
still meeting and we wanted

7496
04:42:29,580 --> 04:42:29,830
to help him

7497
04:42:31,220 --> 04:42:31,470
promote

7498
04:42:34,400 --> 04:42:34,650
the housing this modular

7499
04:42:38,080 --> 04:42:38,330
housing

7500
04:42:39,220 --> 04:42:39,470
and because of the very

7501
04:42:41,540 --> 04:42:41,790
questions you were asking

7502
04:42:46,400 --> 04:42:46,650
Teacher housing you know started

7503
04:42:47,500 --> 04:42:47,750
working in in Cibala

7504
04:42:50,760 --> 04:42:51,010
McKinley County's back in 2001

7505
04:42:53,440 --> 04:42:53,690
and back then

7506
04:42:54,120 --> 04:42:54,370
they were telling us

7507
04:42:56,080 --> 04:42:56,330
about the need for teacher

7508
04:42:58,000 --> 04:42:58,250
housing and then the city of

7509
04:42:58,830 --> 04:42:59,080
Grantz was highly

7510
04:43:01,626 --> 04:43:01,876
had

7511
04:43:03,940 --> 04:43:04,190
high degree of dilapidated

7512
04:43:06,280 --> 04:43:06,530
housing

7513
04:43:07,600 --> 04:43:07,850
and housing had to be those

7514
04:43:09,940 --> 04:43:10,190
homes had to be demolished they

7515
04:43:12,140 --> 04:43:12,390
were ruled unsafe for a large to

7516
04:43:13,860 --> 04:43:14,110
a large extent because they were

7517
04:43:16,200 --> 04:43:16,450
so old they were built in the

7518
04:43:17,460 --> 04:43:17,710
early mining industry so I

7519
04:43:20,920 --> 04:43:21,170
say all that to say that again I

7520
04:43:23,020 --> 04:43:23,270
I was exposed to modular housing

7521
04:43:26,220 --> 04:43:26,470
when I was doing housing

7522
04:43:27,460 --> 04:43:27,710
development down south

7523
04:43:30,180 --> 04:43:30,430
and and thank you for asking

7524
04:43:31,660 --> 04:43:31,910
the question about the federal

7525
04:43:33,040 --> 04:43:33,290
government because it in fact

7526
04:43:35,300 --> 04:43:35,550
was one of the very first

7527
04:43:36,840 --> 04:43:37,090
grants I can't remember I think

7528
04:43:39,700 --> 04:43:39,950
it was carlos might remember but

7529
04:43:42,420 --> 04:43:42,670
we received

7530
04:43:44,800 --> 04:43:45,050
Federal funding on from three

7531
04:43:48,840 --> 04:43:49,090
different sources because at

7532
04:43:50,820 --> 04:43:51,070
that time we were breaking

7533
04:43:51,900 --> 04:43:52,150
ground it was a trailblazing

7534
04:43:53,600 --> 04:43:53,850
idea of modular homes and it

7535
04:43:57,320 --> 04:43:57,570
worked so well that the veterans

7536
04:43:58,640 --> 04:43:58,890
administration bought into it

7537
04:44:01,120 --> 04:44:01,370
in certain areas and far west

7538
04:44:03,320 --> 04:44:03,570
Texas that are very isolated but

7539
04:44:05,600 --> 04:44:05,850
yet veterans were were

7540
04:44:08,140 --> 04:44:08,390
buying pieces of land once they

7541
04:44:11,140 --> 04:44:11,390
had access to capital and so on

7542
04:44:13,800 --> 04:44:14,050
so madam chair I wanted to

7543
04:44:17,390 --> 04:44:17,640
just bring that because we

7544
04:44:20,510 --> 04:44:20,760
encouraged exposure of

7545
04:44:23,750 --> 04:44:24,000
this and the more you get

7546
04:44:25,490 --> 04:44:25,740
exposed to us in our committees

7547
04:44:27,470 --> 04:44:27,720
around the state I think the

7548
04:44:29,390 --> 04:44:29,640
more the better understanding we

7549
04:44:31,390 --> 04:44:31,640
get of how

7550
04:44:32,650 --> 04:44:32,900
this could actually be a great

7551
04:44:36,270 --> 04:44:36,520
resolution for our housing

7552
04:44:37,710 --> 04:44:37,960
shortage but not only that the

7553
04:44:39,470 --> 04:44:39,720
affordability factor we also

7554
04:44:42,990 --> 04:44:43,240
madam chairir brought up the

7555
04:44:43,970 --> 04:44:44,220
whole question of how are

7556
04:44:45,870 --> 04:44:46,120
unfortunately our senior

7557
04:44:48,490 --> 04:44:48,740
citizens are losing their homes

7558
04:44:50,650 --> 04:44:50,900
because they're unable to

7559
04:44:53,070 --> 04:44:53,320
keep up with the horrible

7560
04:44:54,610 --> 04:44:54,860
costs associated they may have

7561
04:44:56,250 --> 04:44:56,500
finished their mortgage but they

7562
04:44:58,050 --> 04:44:58,300
have these high utility rates

7563
04:44:59,590 --> 04:44:59,840
and all the other costs

7564
04:45:00,650 --> 04:45:00,900
associated and their homes have

7565
04:45:02,890 --> 04:45:03,140
now

7566
04:45:03,310 --> 04:45:03,560
after th30,40,50 years become

7567
04:45:05,310 --> 04:45:05,560
unaffordable and they

7568
04:45:09,710 --> 04:45:09,960
especially those families that

7569
04:45:11,210 --> 04:45:11,460
don't have dependences so

7570
04:45:13,730 --> 04:45:13,980
this is a viable alternative

7571
04:45:15,950 --> 04:45:16,200
affordable alternative in a

7572
04:45:18,950 --> 04:45:19,200
number of ways and so one

7573
04:45:20,390 --> 04:45:20,640
question

7574
04:45:22,590 --> 04:45:22,840
were you able to get

7575
04:45:24,970 --> 04:45:25,220
on the agenda with mortgage

7576
04:45:27,810 --> 04:45:28,060
finance Author

7577
04:45:37,074 --> 04:45:37,324
Madam Chair andre

7578
04:45:37,560 --> 04:45:37,810
representative, thank you for

7579
04:45:38,540 --> 04:45:38,790
that question. Yes ma'am we've

7580
04:45:39,940 --> 04:45:40,190
actually presented at their

7581
04:45:43,280 --> 04:45:43,530
board meeting

7582
04:45:43,980 --> 04:45:44,230
before and I I've gotten to

7583
04:45:47,480 --> 04:45:47,730
be a special guest once or twice

7584
04:45:49,880 --> 04:45:50,130
so that's they've they've been

7585
04:45:51,380 --> 04:45:51,630
very good to us and we're going

7586
04:45:54,280 --> 04:45:54,530
to need all the legislative

7587
04:45:55,440 --> 04:45:55,690
support we can get to move

7588
04:45:57,400 --> 04:45:57,650
mortgage finance authority I

7589
04:46:00,220 --> 04:46:00,470
think we all need to be the

7590
04:46:01,360 --> 04:46:01,610
oversight for them because they

7591
04:46:03,020 --> 04:46:03,270
have been presented many ideas

7592
04:46:05,180 --> 04:46:05,430
and this is one of the most

7593
04:46:06,220 --> 04:46:06,470
affordable ideas they've been

7594
04:46:07,700 --> 04:46:07,950
presented and for some reason

7595
04:46:09,600 --> 04:46:09,850
they have a new name what is it

7596
04:46:11,500 --> 04:46:11,750
housing

7597
04:46:11,720 --> 04:46:11,970
New Mexico or something like

7598
04:46:14,040 --> 04:46:14,290
that they they just

7599
04:46:17,140 --> 04:46:17,390
do not want to remove themselves

7600
04:46:19,820 --> 04:46:20,070
from the conventional

7601
04:46:21,160 --> 04:46:21,410
housing

7602
04:46:22,860 --> 04:46:23,110
construction concepts right that

7603
04:46:28,980 --> 04:46:29,230
self or380,000 dollars to start

7604
04:46:30,480 --> 04:46:30,730
off with up and they call that

7605
04:46:33,320 --> 04:46:33,570
affordable when in fact at

7606
04:46:35,780 --> 04:46:36,030
one of their meetings madam

7607
04:46:36,980 --> 04:46:37,230
chair a question was asked and

7608
04:46:39,460 --> 04:46:39,710
said how much money would

7609
04:46:40,560 --> 04:46:40,810
what is what would be the

7610
04:46:43,720 --> 04:46:43,970
minimum hourly wage that a

7611
04:46:45,380 --> 04:46:45,630
family would have to be made a

7612
04:46:47,340 --> 04:46:47,590
head of household would have to

7613
04:46:49,460 --> 04:46:49,710
make in order to be able to

7614
04:46:51,240 --> 04:46:51,490
afford just walking into

7615
04:46:51,664 --> 04:46:51,914
a380,000

7616
04:46:54,260 --> 04:46:54,510
and it came out to44 almost45

7617
04:46:56,900 --> 04:46:57,150
dollars an hour

7618
04:46:57,860 --> 04:46:58,110
wage they would have to earn in

7619
04:47:01,040 --> 04:47:01,290
order to be able to walk

7620
04:47:01,532 --> 04:47:01,782
into380,00

7621
04:47:06,360 --> 04:47:06,610
you know in Albuquerque so

7622
04:47:09,460 --> 04:47:09,710
again this is

7623
04:47:10,880 --> 04:47:11,130
a real alternate not alternative

7624
04:47:15,680 --> 04:47:15,930
it's a real housing opportunity

7625
04:47:17,780 --> 04:47:18,030
that's being presented to us at

7626
04:47:21,180 --> 04:47:21,430
different committees and

7627
04:47:22,700 --> 04:47:22,950
different areas of our state

7628
04:47:24,840 --> 04:47:25,090
where we're all being faced with

7629
04:47:26,740 --> 04:47:26,990
a housing crisis

7630
04:47:28,840 --> 04:47:29,090
and we heard earlier fromallup

7631
04:47:30,820 --> 04:47:31,070
about the homeless unsheltered

7632
04:47:33,100 --> 04:47:33,350
crisis that we're facing

7633
04:47:35,060 --> 04:47:35,310
when we have a viable

7634
04:47:36,340 --> 04:47:36,590
alternative right here so I just

7635
04:47:38,760 --> 04:47:39,010
wanted to say thank you to you

7636
04:47:40,160 --> 04:47:40,410
for being diligent in pursuing

7637
04:47:41,820 --> 04:47:42,070
these presentations and I

7638
04:47:45,280 --> 04:47:45,530
would just say that you keep

7639
04:47:46,980 --> 04:47:47,230
doing it be persistent and

7640
04:47:48,900 --> 04:47:49,150
we'll keep promoting as much as

7641
04:47:51,640 --> 04:47:51,890
we can the the this

7642
04:47:55,140 --> 04:47:55,390
housing

7643
04:47:56,280 --> 04:47:56,530
modular home

7644
04:47:59,520 --> 04:47:59,770
concept although it's been

7645
04:48:01,900 --> 04:48:02,150
around for a while but in in the

7646
04:48:05,020 --> 04:48:05,270
other admirable thing is that

7647
04:48:06,860 --> 04:48:07,110
you're present right here in our

7648
04:48:08,600 --> 04:48:08,850
backyard in the state of New

7649
04:48:10,020 --> 04:48:10,270
Mexico

7650
04:48:10,920 --> 04:48:11,170
so I'm glad you did a little bit

7651
04:48:12,740 --> 04:48:12,990
about your company because

inRoswell, New Mexico.

7654
04:48:18,200 --> 04:48:18,450
so and you have the capacity to

7655
04:48:20,480 --> 04:48:20,730
be

7656
04:48:22,060 --> 04:48:22,310
communities as well and I

7657
04:48:25,200 --> 04:48:25,450
think the more volume it's the

7658
04:48:27,360 --> 04:48:27,610
classic capitalist concept the

7659
04:48:29,340 --> 04:48:29,590
more volume the cost can go down

7660
04:48:32,060 --> 04:48:32,310
so the more volume we have in

7661
04:48:33,860 --> 04:48:34,110
this type of housing hopefully

7662
04:48:35,640 --> 04:48:35,890
by the time you get toallup, New

7663
04:48:36,163 --> 04:48:36,413
Mexico

7664
04:48:38,780 --> 04:48:39,030
the the price per square foot

7665
04:48:40,720 --> 04:48:40,970
might go down from160 to

7666
04:48:44,500 --> 04:48:44,750
maybe140,120 I don't know

7667
04:48:45,320 --> 04:48:45,570
wishful thinking but anyway

7668
04:48:47,040 --> 04:48:47,290
thank you madam chair and and

7669
04:48:47,480 --> 04:48:47,730

7671
04:48:54,560 --> 04:48:54,810
hope because you're a young man

7672
04:48:56,000 --> 04:48:56,250
following in a family business

7673
04:48:57,940 --> 04:48:58,190
but you're doing an excellent

7674
04:48:59,440 --> 04:48:59,690
job. Thank you.

7675
04:49:01,220 --> 04:49:01,470
thank youpresentative

7676
04:49:02,667 --> 04:49:02,917

Johnson. thank you madam chairir

7678
04:49:07,520 --> 04:49:07,770
I just want to say now you tell

7679
04:49:10,340 --> 04:49:10,590
me

7680
04:49:11,920 --> 04:49:12,170
because I'm one of those people

7681
04:49:13,760 --> 04:49:14,010
who drives back

7682
04:49:19,200 --> 04:49:19,450
So I think I'm excited to

7683
04:49:23,440 --> 04:49:23,690
continue to follow and support

7684
04:49:26,300 --> 04:49:26,550
this program. I know that our

7685
04:49:30,280 --> 04:49:30,530
health

7686
04:49:35,020 --> 04:49:35,270
our senior citizens

7687
04:49:42,920 --> 04:49:43,170
see our students commute

7688
04:49:44,540 --> 04:49:44,790
hundreds of miles just to attend

7689
04:49:46,700 --> 04:49:46,950
class who who need to be in

7690
04:49:55,100 --> 04:49:55,350
a class work so and I want to

7691
04:49:58,300 --> 04:49:58,550
thankpresentative Abeda for the

7692
04:49:58,640 --> 04:49:58,890
questions she asked all the

7693
04:50:01,140 --> 04:50:01,390
questions that we were curious

7694
04:50:03,340 --> 04:50:03,590
about

7695
04:50:04,900 --> 04:50:05,150
and so I think homes are

7696
04:50:13,500 --> 04:50:13,750
so

7697
04:50:13,580 --> 04:50:13,830
thank you

7704
04:50:33,400 --> 04:50:33,650
bit of a solution I think for

7705
04:50:35,800 --> 04:50:36,050
many of the things we because

7706
04:50:37,420 --> 04:50:37,670

04:50:47,500 --> 04:50:47,750
them to that next step of

7712
04:50:48,900 --> 04:50:49,150
something they can afford

7713
04:50:50,060 --> 04:50:50,310
especially if they have those

7714
04:50:51,120 --> 04:50:51,370
skills and meet the needs of the

7715
04:50:54,620 --> 04:50:54,870

part of this committee it's

7758
04:53:31,540 --> 04:53:31,790
really an honor to be here.

7759
04:53:35,200 --> 04:53:35,450
I don't know about being short

7760
04:53:36,840 --> 04:53:37,090
because as a part of why I'm

7761
04:53:38,940 --> 04:53:39,190
here I want to give you a really

7762
04:53:41,820 --> 04:53:42,070
my

7763
04:53:45,420 --> 04:53:45,670
how I got here started 50 years

7764
04:53:47,980 --> 04:53:48,230
ago on December

7765
04:53:53,120 --> 04:53:53,370
thir1st around3 in the morning

7766
04:53:56,440 --> 04:53:56,690
when my

7767
04:53:58,440 --> 04:53:58,690
professional baseball career

7768
04:54:00,920 --> 04:54:01,170
ended after I ran into a car on

7769
04:54:04,520 --> 04:54:04,770
a snowmobile

7770
04:54:06,060 --> 04:54:06,310
I'm from Oregon originally and

7771
04:54:08,940 --> 04:54:09,190
I'd come home from a successful

7772
04:54:11,220 --> 04:54:11,470
baseball season

7773
04:54:13,400 --> 04:54:13,650
your first handout is a

7774
04:54:15,680 --> 04:54:15,930
letter that I received from

7775
04:54:16,533 --> 04:54:16,783
Tonyegegal

7776
04:54:19,440 --> 04:54:19,690
I was hoping to

7777
04:54:21,220 --> 04:54:21,470
move out of professional

7778
04:54:24,220 --> 04:54:24,470
baseball here in the states. I'd

7779
04:54:27,000 --> 04:54:27,250
play I'd turn down playing in

7780
04:54:29,140 --> 04:54:29,390
Mexico in1976 to stay at home in

7781
04:54:33,280 --> 04:54:33,530
oregon

7782
04:54:35,150 --> 04:54:35,400
I played professionally for

7783
04:54:37,100 --> 04:54:37,350
six seasons for regular seasons

7784
04:54:40,020 --> 04:54:40,270
with the Milwaukeebrewers in

7785
04:54:41,700 --> 04:54:41,950
their farm system. I got

7786
04:54:43,620 --> 04:54:43,870
released in'751975 from the

7787
04:54:47,140 --> 04:54:47,390
sacramento bees in the Pacific

7788
04:54:49,720 --> 04:54:49,970
coast League I might be the

7789
04:54:53,420 --> 04:54:53,670
only player that you know who

7790
04:54:56,540 --> 04:54:56,790
actually pitched against the

7791
04:54:58,020 --> 04:54:58,270
Albuquerque dukes

7792
04:54:59,980 --> 04:55:00,230
Tommy Lasorda, Ronsey

7793
04:55:05,760 --> 04:55:06,010
that's my relief pitcher back

7794
04:55:07,820 --> 04:55:08,070
here in the back

7795
04:55:09,960 --> 04:55:10,210
Larry Foster he was honored to

7796
04:55:12,820 --> 04:55:13,070
be a part of Native Americanhall

7797
04:55:15,240 --> 04:55:15,490
of fame baseball playing hall of

7798
04:55:15,893 --> 04:55:16,143
fame but

7799
04:55:21,300 --> 04:55:21,550
really I'm here to really try to

7800
04:55:24,200 --> 04:55:24,450
give you information and what

7801
04:55:25,700 --> 04:55:25,950
I've learned over the last50

7802
04:55:27,420 --> 04:55:27,670
years of living with a brain

7803
04:55:29,600 --> 04:55:29,850
injury because I really hope

7804
04:55:32,040 --> 04:55:32,290
that this information I know

7805
04:55:34,160 --> 04:55:34,410
I've talked to uhpresentative

7806
04:55:35,780 --> 04:55:36,030
Johnson since she's had her

7807
04:55:38,320 --> 04:55:38,570
brain injury and I'll let her

7808
04:55:41,220 --> 04:55:41,470
talk to

7809
04:55:41,960 --> 04:55:42,210
some of that after I talk here

7810
04:55:44,760 --> 04:55:45,010
about her care and and really I

7811
04:55:47,860 --> 04:55:48,110
think it's gonna

7812
04:55:48,660 --> 04:55:48,910
point out some of the reasons

7813
04:55:52,780 --> 04:55:53,030
why I'm here

7814
04:55:54,200 --> 04:55:54,450
because really

7815
04:55:56,640 --> 04:55:56,890
it's really hard to understand

7816
04:56:01,080 --> 04:56:01,330
we look fine

7817
04:56:02,640 --> 04:56:02,890
but you don't understand the

7818
04:56:04,620 --> 04:56:04,870
difficulties that we have in

7819
04:56:06,760 --> 04:56:07,010
just daily living

7820
04:56:08,960 --> 04:56:09,210
Once our brain is scrambled it

7821
04:56:12,380 --> 04:56:12,630
really is hard to make sense of

7822
04:56:15,420 --> 04:56:15,670
things and understand things. it

7823
04:56:17,520 --> 04:56:17,770
was good that Bill Lee was here

7824
04:56:19,620 --> 04:56:19,870
talking about epilepsy

7825
04:56:21,980 --> 04:56:22,230
the number one cause of epilepsy

7826
04:56:23,860 --> 04:56:24,110
is brain injuries.

7827
04:56:25,880 --> 04:56:26,130
and so I really recommend and I

7828
04:56:28,740 --> 04:56:28,990
support what he was saying and

7829
04:56:30,660 --> 04:56:30,910
doing with the vagus nerve

7830
04:56:31,130 --> 04:56:31,380
implant

7831
04:56:33,700 --> 04:56:33,950
because that's one of the things

7832
04:56:35,360 --> 04:56:35,610
I've learned over the years and

7833
04:56:36,960 --> 04:56:37,210
I'll talk a little bit about

7834
04:56:38,060 --> 04:56:38,310
this as I go along

7835
04:56:39,360 --> 04:56:39,610
but when I

7836
04:56:41,340 --> 04:56:41,590
woke up I'll tell you a little

7837
04:56:43,440 --> 04:56:43,690
bit about my injury

7838
04:56:45,760 --> 04:56:46,010
everything I don't know any of

7839
04:56:49,020 --> 04:56:49,270
things I've got about a month

7840
04:56:50,580 --> 04:56:50,830
missing. I remember going to

7841
04:56:54,400 --> 04:56:54,650
the hot springs I'd come home

7842
04:56:56,320 --> 04:56:56,570
for the holidays after its

7843
04:56:57,760 --> 04:56:58,010
successful baseball season. I

7844
04:57:02,760 --> 04:57:03,010
was10 and1 in1976 our team took

7845
04:57:03,940 --> 04:57:04,190
the state championship instead

7846
04:57:05,580 --> 04:57:05,830
of I turned down played in

7847
04:57:07,180 --> 04:57:07,430
Mexico professionally but I

7848
04:57:08,740 --> 04:57:08,990
stayed in Oregon to plan semiro

7849
04:57:12,180 --> 04:57:12,430
team Bend Oregon

7850
04:57:14,000 --> 04:57:14,250
I was10 and1. our team took

7851
04:57:16,300 --> 04:57:16,550
the state championship. I

7852
04:57:17,940 --> 04:57:18,190
pitched the semifinal game to

7853
04:57:20,160 --> 04:57:20,410
get us into the playoffs and

7854
04:57:21,940 --> 04:57:22,190
then I came in in relief to win

7855
04:57:24,280 --> 04:57:24,530
the championship

7856
04:57:26,760 --> 04:57:27,010
like I I was gonna use this

7857
04:57:28,900 --> 04:57:29,150
letter

7858
04:57:29,400 --> 04:57:29,650
to go out of the states because

7859
04:57:34,880 --> 04:57:35,130
in1976 Major League Baseball

7860
04:57:37,120 --> 04:57:37,370
was opening up and as well as

7861
04:57:41,300 --> 04:57:41,550
Europee was expanding Italy that

7862
04:57:44,220 --> 04:57:44,470
they were all kinds of places

7863
04:57:46,500 --> 04:57:46,750
for me to play and I was gonna

7864
04:57:48,180 --> 04:57:48,430
take my skills and my abilities

7865
04:57:50,800 --> 04:57:51,050
outside of the states because I

7866
04:57:53,300 --> 04:57:53,550
saw that's where my future was.

7867
04:57:58,220 --> 04:57:58,470
unfortunately I never got to use

7868
04:58:00,520 --> 04:58:00,770
this letter

7869
04:58:02,460 --> 04:58:02,710
like I said they told me that

7870
04:58:04,480 --> 04:58:04,730
I remember Christmas Eve I went

7871
04:58:07,200 --> 04:58:07,450
up to the hot springs. I wanted

7872
04:58:09,360 --> 04:58:09,610
to do two things when I got home

7873
04:58:11,340 --> 04:58:11,590
for the ho well three things

7874
04:58:12,720 --> 04:58:12,970
actually regroup and decide if I

7875
04:58:14,780 --> 04:58:15,030
was where I was going to play

7876
04:58:16,340 --> 04:58:16,590
that summer if I was going to

7877
04:58:18,400 --> 04:58:18,650
play

7878
04:58:20,020 --> 04:58:20,270
other was to go to the hot

7879
04:58:22,300 --> 04:58:22,550
springs well actually you had to

7880
04:58:24,380 --> 04:58:24,630
go to the hot springs and that's

7881
04:58:25,860 --> 04:58:26,110
what I remember doing on

7882
04:58:27,100 --> 04:58:27,350
Christmas Eve. The other was to

7883
04:58:29,200 --> 04:58:29,450
go snowmobiling

7884
04:58:31,140 --> 04:58:31,390
I don't remember that they tell

7885
04:58:33,720 --> 04:58:33,970
me I was

7886
04:58:36,340 --> 04:58:36,590
one of my we met a bunch of

7887
04:58:37,860 --> 04:58:38,110
people three of us had been

7888
04:58:39,120 --> 04:58:39,370
snowmobiling for a couple3 hours

7889
04:58:41,360 --> 04:58:41,610
we met other people at this

7890
04:58:42,880 --> 04:58:43,130
rendezvous place

7891
04:58:46,480 --> 04:58:46,730
after the bars had closed so

7892
04:58:49,180 --> 04:58:49,430
they all came up and I guess one

7893
04:58:51,080 --> 04:58:51,330
of my friends had lost his keys

7894
04:58:53,320 --> 04:58:53,570
to a snowbill, another hot wired

7895
04:58:56,120 --> 04:58:56,370
it and they said let me take

7896
04:58:57,480 --> 04:58:57,730
it for a test run

7897
04:58:59,480 --> 04:58:59,730
they told me I went up about

7898
04:59:01,480 --> 04:59:01,730
mile, came back all all out and

7899
04:59:05,540 --> 04:59:05,790
was probably doing4050 miles an

7900
04:59:06,200 --> 04:59:06,450
hour. the only person that saw

7901
04:59:08,260 --> 04:59:08,510
saw what happened was standing

7902
04:59:11,460 --> 04:59:11,710
in there was a line of pickups

7903
04:59:13,280 --> 04:59:13,530
on one side there was a u and he

7904
04:59:16,720 --> 04:59:16,970
was standing in between the the

7905
04:59:18,380 --> 04:59:18,630
pickups and the and and the you

7906
04:59:20,720 --> 04:59:20,970
and all I can think of is I must

7907
04:59:23,200 --> 04:59:23,450
have saw him and tried to avoid

7908
04:59:25,240 --> 04:59:25,490
hitting him and ran heads

7909
04:59:28,200 --> 04:59:28,450
headfirst into a side of

7910
04:59:29,040 --> 04:59:29,290
a parked car

7911
04:59:31,260 --> 04:59:31,510
when I hit the car I broke my

7912
04:59:33,820 --> 04:59:34,070
jaw below my chin rammed this

7913
04:59:36,060 --> 04:59:36,310
jawbone into my ear canal on

7914
04:59:38,560 --> 04:59:38,810
impact I separated my skull

7915
04:59:40,920 --> 04:59:41,170
busted out some teeth, broke a

7916
04:59:42,680 --> 04:59:42,930
rib and knocked me out for so

7917
04:59:47,140 --> 04:59:47,390
the only thing that I then the

7918
04:59:49,380 --> 04:59:49,630
next thing I remember was waking

7919
04:59:51,680 --> 04:59:51,930
up at home

7920
04:59:53,590 --> 04:59:53,840
in front of a mirror about 6

7921
04:59:55,960 --> 04:59:56,210
inches in front of a mirror

7922
04:59:57,620 --> 04:59:57,870
coming out at darkness through a

7923
05:00:02,240 --> 05:00:02,490
fog to picking the wires of my

7924
05:00:03,080 --> 05:00:03,330
mouth my wire my mouth was wired

7925
05:00:05,200 --> 05:00:05,450
shut

7926
05:00:08,080 --> 05:00:08,330
what the blank happened to you

7927
05:00:11,760 --> 05:00:12,010
that's all I could say because I

7928
05:00:13,660 --> 05:00:13,910
didn't know I knew that I was at

7929
05:00:15,500 --> 05:00:15,750
home because I was in my folks'

7930
05:00:17,180 --> 05:00:17,430
bedroom with my bathrobe on my

7931
05:00:19,920 --> 05:00:20,170
name wasen and I played baseball

7932
05:00:22,600 --> 05:00:22,850
but I didn't know anything about

7933
05:00:23,940 --> 05:00:24,190
home kin or baseball. the only

7934
05:00:26,420 --> 05:00:26,670
thing I knew was my mouth was

7935
05:00:28,900 --> 05:00:29,150
wid shut and I didn't know why

7936
05:00:31,820 --> 05:00:32,070
so I walked into my mar tried to

7937
05:00:34,080 --> 05:00:34,330
find my mom. I remember sitting

7938
05:00:35,540 --> 05:00:35,790
back there for a half hour

7939
05:00:37,060 --> 05:00:37,310
trying to figure out what's

7940
05:00:39,120 --> 05:00:39,370
going on and so I walked in to

7941
05:00:41,820 --> 05:00:42,070
try to find my mom who just

7942
05:00:43,360 --> 05:00:43,610
happened to be coming down the

7943
05:00:44,600 --> 05:00:44,850
hallway my my mom operated a

7944
05:00:48,240 --> 05:00:48,490
shoe store and so she's getting

7945
05:00:50,020 --> 05:00:50,270
ready to go to work and Is

7946
05:00:51,940 --> 05:00:52,190
stopped her

7947
05:00:53,020 --> 05:00:53,270
why is my mouth wiren't shut and

7948
05:00:55,360 --> 05:00:55,610
I can still remember that look

7949
05:00:57,240 --> 05:00:57,490
on her face of

7950
05:00:59,440 --> 05:00:59,690
well you were in a snowmobile

7951
05:01:02,520 --> 05:01:02,770
wreck at Summit Lake, but I

7952
05:01:04,620 --> 05:01:04,870
grabbed her and I said momm what

7953
05:01:05,980 --> 05:01:06,230
what what do you mean? I just

7954
05:01:07,940 --> 05:01:08,190
got here fromor which is the

7955
05:01:10,520 --> 05:01:10,770
first time I was ever able to

7956
05:01:12,680 --> 05:01:12,930
say that to her even though it

7957
05:01:15,600 --> 05:01:15,850
would take me three or four

7958
05:01:16,940 --> 05:01:17,190
months to be able to remember

7959
05:01:18,540 --> 05:01:18,790
about being inor and coming home

7960
05:01:22,060 --> 05:01:22,310
I just said it and just that

7961
05:01:24,240 --> 05:01:24,490
look on her face I can still

7962
05:01:26,740 --> 05:01:26,990
feel her arm her hands on my

7963
05:01:28,820 --> 05:01:29,070
arms. Oh your back

7964
05:01:31,220 --> 05:01:31,470
you're back

7965
05:01:33,180 --> 05:01:33,430
what do you mean? what happened

7966
05:01:35,160 --> 05:01:35,410
to me? Why is my mouth wired

7967
05:01:36,560 --> 05:01:36,810
shut?

7968
05:01:37,480 --> 05:01:37,730
So I'd already forgot about

7969
05:01:39,820 --> 05:01:40,070
being in the snowmobile wreck

7970
05:01:41,800 --> 05:01:42,050
and that's the way it is with

7971
05:01:43,180 --> 05:01:43,430
brain injury. it took me a long

7972
05:01:45,480 --> 05:01:45,730
time that short term memory loss

7973
05:01:49,260 --> 05:01:49,510
now I want to come up to

7974
05:01:51,240 --> 05:01:51,490
this next when I this next is a

7975
05:01:55,120 --> 05:01:55,370
letter fromRobert Saposky. he's

7976
05:01:58,080 --> 05:01:58,330
a noted neuroscientist from

7977
05:01:58,604 --> 05:01:58,854
Chicago

7978
05:02:03,190 --> 05:02:03,440
when I came when I came to and I

7979
05:02:05,320 --> 05:02:05,570
started having friends come over

7980
05:02:06,860 --> 05:02:07,110
to see me after after I got out

7981
05:02:09,760 --> 05:02:10,010
of the hospital I could

7982
05:02:11,240 --> 05:02:11,490
recognize her face but I

7983
05:02:13,040 --> 05:02:13,290
couldn't remember their name

7984
05:02:14,900 --> 05:02:15,150
and that really bothered it it

7985
05:02:17,100 --> 05:02:17,350
was embarrassing. I mean I a

7986
05:02:19,380 --> 05:02:19,630
small town my graduating class

7987
05:02:21,540 --> 05:02:21,790
was 98 kids and that was a long

7988
05:02:25,220 --> 05:02:25,470
largest class in in the school

7989
05:02:26,600 --> 05:02:26,850
history but I knew everybody,

7990
05:02:29,480 --> 05:02:29,730
everybody knew me and I couldn't

7991
05:02:31,840 --> 05:02:32,090
remember their name

7992
05:02:33,600 --> 05:02:33,850
and it was just so embarrassing

7993
05:02:36,380 --> 05:02:36,630
and the harder that I tried to

7994
05:02:37,940 --> 05:02:38,190
remember the more impossible it

7995
05:02:40,440 --> 05:02:40,690
was

7996
05:02:41,600 --> 05:02:41,850
but my baseball

7997
05:02:42,920 --> 05:02:43,170
skills kicked in

7998
05:02:46,600 --> 05:02:46,850
because that's one thing you

7999
05:02:47,920 --> 05:02:48,170
learn as a pitcher is how to

8000
05:02:49,540 --> 05:02:49,790
control stress so that you can

8001
05:02:52,980 --> 05:02:53,230
block all this stuff that's

8002
05:02:55,100 --> 05:02:55,350
going on because your job is to

8003
05:02:57,340 --> 05:02:57,590
throw strikes get people out

8004
05:02:59,700 --> 05:02:59,950
that's focused concentration but

8005
05:03:01,700 --> 05:03:01,950
most of all it's relaxation

8006
05:03:05,920 --> 05:03:06,170
because when you're pitching

8007
05:03:09,280 --> 05:03:09,530
and if you don't manage the

8008
05:03:11,060 --> 05:03:11,310
stress your wrist straightens

8009
05:03:14,300 --> 05:03:14,550
out stiffens up and your

8010
05:03:16,660 --> 05:03:16,910
fastball straightens out which

8011
05:03:18,880 --> 05:03:19,130
makes it easier to hit so your

8012
05:03:21,300 --> 05:03:21,550
drill all the time about

8013
05:03:23,400 --> 05:03:23,650
listening to your body. nowadays

8014
05:03:26,360 --> 05:03:26,610
that's called biofeedback

8015
05:03:29,680 --> 05:03:29,930
and staying calm keeping your

8016
05:03:31,680 --> 05:03:31,930
poise, breathing that's all

8017
05:03:34,780 --> 05:03:35,030
called mindfulness

8018
05:03:35,800 --> 05:03:36,050
now

8019
05:03:38,380 --> 05:03:38,630
so all these things that I had

8020
05:03:41,880 --> 05:03:42,130
to learn the hard way. I mean I

8021
05:03:45,020 --> 05:03:45,270
I like to tell people that I

8022
05:03:46,960 --> 05:03:47,210
greg graduated from the school

8023
05:03:48,500 --> 05:03:48,750
of hard knocks because that's

8024
05:03:51,000 --> 05:03:51,250
the way it is. I mean within the

8025
05:03:53,680 --> 05:03:53,930
brain injury

8026
05:03:57,340 --> 05:03:57,590
so let me go and so when I

8027
05:03:59,720 --> 05:03:59,970
did that when I listened to my

8028
05:04:01,980 --> 05:04:02,230
body

8029
05:04:03,520 --> 05:04:03,770
and just

8030
05:04:04,540 --> 05:04:04,790
stayed calm sometimes their name

8031
05:04:07,720 --> 05:04:07,970
would come

8032
05:04:09,560 --> 05:04:09,810
not every time but it it would

8033
05:04:12,560 --> 05:04:12,810
definitely would never come if

8034
05:04:14,200 --> 05:04:14,450
I'm trying to remember and

8035
05:04:16,560 --> 05:04:16,810
it just it just that's just how

8036
05:04:18,880 --> 05:04:19,130
it works and so I kept that and

8037
05:04:21,860 --> 05:04:22,110
so once I started having

8038
05:04:24,520 --> 05:04:24,770
I'm a founding member of the

8039
05:04:27,040 --> 05:04:27,290
Oregon Head Injury Foundation

8040
05:04:29,480 --> 05:04:29,730
in1985 so I'll come up a little

8041
05:04:31,520 --> 05:04:31,770
bit from that50 years so I was

8042
05:04:35,140 --> 05:04:35,390
appointed by5 governors in

8043
05:04:37,360 --> 05:04:37,610
Oregon to sit on the Oregon

8044
05:04:38,700 --> 05:04:38,950
disability commission because of

8045
05:04:41,380 --> 05:04:41,630
my experience and knowhow as a

8046
05:04:44,260 --> 05:04:44,510
vista volunteer in1988. I

8047
05:04:47,940 --> 05:04:48,190
started the first brain injury

8048
05:04:49,780 --> 05:04:50,030
supported living program in

8049
05:04:52,740 --> 05:04:52,990
the country as

8050
05:04:54,200 --> 05:04:54,450
a vista volunteer so I mean I've

8051
05:04:56,660 --> 05:04:56,910
been active in all this stuff

8052
05:04:58,540 --> 05:04:58,790
but this is all part of my

8053
05:04:59,900 --> 05:05:00,150
knowledge and that's what I want

8054
05:05:04,160 --> 05:05:04,410
to share with with y'all because

8055
05:05:04,520 --> 05:05:04,770
right now you've got a you've

8056
05:05:07,220 --> 05:05:07,470
got a your vice chair has had a

8057
05:05:08,640 --> 05:05:08,890
brain injury and it's it really

8058
05:05:12,840 --> 05:05:13,090
is important I mean that that

8059
05:05:15,220 --> 05:05:15,470
you see here as capable and just

8060
05:05:17,740 --> 05:05:17,990
because she has a brain injury

8061
05:05:19,340 --> 05:05:19,590
doesn't mean that she's not

8062
05:05:20,780 --> 05:05:21,030
capable because she's more than

8063
05:05:22,560 --> 05:05:22,810
capable I've talked to her a lot

8064
05:05:24,780 --> 05:05:25,030
I I hope I'm not making her

8065
05:05:26,980 --> 05:05:27,230
uncomfortable but it really

8066
05:05:30,540 --> 05:05:30,790
is critical that we

8067
05:05:32,260 --> 05:05:32,510
identify folks with brain

8068
05:05:35,520 --> 05:05:35,770
injuries on the streets and

8069
05:05:38,000 --> 05:05:38,250
that's really part part of why

8070
05:05:39,600 --> 05:05:39,850
I'm here this next inf

8071
05:05:40,920 --> 05:05:41,170
information I got is a guy

8072
05:05:44,040 --> 05:05:44,290
that's I picked this up when I

8073
05:05:46,480 --> 05:05:46,730
was given my groups I've been

8074
05:05:47,980 --> 05:05:48,230
giving groups here for over

8075
05:05:51,540 --> 05:05:51,790
fif years this was one of my

8076
05:05:53,780 --> 05:05:54,030
first

8077
05:05:54,060 --> 05:05:54,310
groups I went to at the jail to

8078
05:05:56,600 --> 05:05:56,850
talk about brain injury

8079
05:05:58,260 --> 05:05:58,510
awareness bring it because I I

8080
05:06:01,540 --> 05:06:01,790
believe and again that's why I'm

8081
05:06:04,280 --> 05:06:04,530
here is to is to identify people

8082
05:06:08,140 --> 05:06:08,390
with brain injuries on the

8083
05:06:09,560 --> 05:06:09,810
streets of Gallup because unless

8084
05:06:12,000 --> 05:06:12,250
we do this it's going to make

8085
05:06:14,880 --> 05:06:15,130
really solving the problem of

8086
05:06:17,140 --> 05:06:17,390
the revolving door that we have

8087
05:06:18,920 --> 05:06:19,170
here impossible to to end

8088
05:06:23,600 --> 05:06:23,850
so

8089
05:06:24,060 --> 05:06:24,310
the next

8090
05:06:25,660 --> 05:06:25,910
handout I've got is the coping

8091
05:06:29,720 --> 05:06:29,970
with stress

8092
05:06:31,400 --> 05:06:31,650
this is the mindfulness that I

8093
05:06:33,360 --> 05:06:33,610
talk about

8094
05:06:35,040 --> 05:06:35,290
this is the ways that we can

8095
05:06:37,640 --> 05:06:37,890
assist people at the hojos I

8096
05:06:41,600 --> 05:06:41,850
forgot to tell you I'm executive

8097
05:06:43,020 --> 05:06:43,270
director of thehosho Center for

8098
05:06:44,840 --> 05:06:45,090
Personal Enhancement. our office

8099
05:06:46,900 --> 05:06:47,150
is down in the mall. We

8100
05:06:48,500 --> 05:06:48,750
primarily work with people on

8101
05:06:50,480 --> 05:06:50,730
the streets

8102
05:06:53,100 --> 05:06:53,350
I've talked about this

8103
05:06:55,840 --> 05:06:56,090
identifying people with with

8104
05:06:57,320 --> 05:06:57,570
brain injuries for over 20

8105
05:06:59,980 --> 05:07:00,230
years. I just had my 2fourth

8106
05:07:01,981 --> 05:07:02,231
anniversary living ingumerco

8107
05:07:05,460 --> 05:07:05,710
I've been living here for 24

8108
05:07:07,960 --> 05:07:08,210
years so and when the

8109
05:07:11,820 --> 05:07:12,070
hozhouenter was first being

8110
05:07:12,800 --> 05:07:13,050
organized it was being

8111
05:07:15,540 --> 05:07:15,790
organized as a drop in center

8112
05:07:17,700 --> 05:07:17,950
for people on the streets with

8113
05:07:19,380 --> 05:07:19,630
alcohol substance abuse and

8114
05:07:21,640 --> 05:07:21,890
mental health issues

8115
05:07:23,680 --> 05:07:23,930
I got involved because when I

8116
05:07:26,300 --> 05:07:26,550
heard mental health I wanted to

8117
05:07:28,220 --> 05:07:28,470
make sure that people with brain

8118
05:07:30,020 --> 05:07:30,270
injuries were a part of this

8119
05:07:32,520 --> 05:07:32,770
discussion

8120
05:07:36,580 --> 05:07:36,830
because

8121
05:07:37,180 --> 05:07:37,430
mental health mental illness and

8122
05:07:39,620 --> 05:07:39,870
brain injury they're all

8123
05:07:40,760 --> 05:07:41,010
separate well it probably a

8124
05:07:43,120 --> 05:07:43,370
brain injuries are included with

8125
05:07:45,200 --> 05:07:45,450
mental health but I wanted to

8126
05:07:46,600 --> 05:07:46,850
make sure that specifically

8127
05:07:48,660 --> 05:07:48,910
people with brain injuries were

8128
05:07:50,540 --> 05:07:50,790
identified

8129
05:07:52,140 --> 05:07:52,390
so that we could so they would

8130
05:07:54,100 --> 05:07:54,350
receive the type of care in

8131
05:07:56,280 --> 05:07:56,530
terms of stress management,

8132
05:07:58,160 --> 05:07:58,410
everything that I've learned

8133
05:07:59,540 --> 05:07:59,790
over the last50 years has been

8134
05:08:02,680 --> 05:08:02,930
what I've been talking about

8135
05:08:04,920 --> 05:08:05,170
so

8136
05:08:05,960 --> 05:08:06,210
there's the second one young

8137
05:08:08,100 --> 05:08:08,350
young brain shaped by fear and

8138
05:08:10,520 --> 05:08:10,770
pain that really is some of the

8139
05:08:12,960 --> 05:08:13,210
trauma that we're seeing on the

8140
05:08:14,780 --> 05:08:15,030
streets so when and that's why

8141
05:08:18,060 --> 05:08:18,310
everyone is in a state of

8142
05:08:22,540 --> 05:08:22,790
reaction they're not capable

8143
05:08:26,680 --> 05:08:26,930
they're they're in their

8144
05:08:27,260 --> 05:08:27,510
survival skill that their

8145
05:08:29,020 --> 05:08:29,270
survival instincts are in

8146
05:08:30,740 --> 05:08:30,990
control

8147
05:08:33,156 --> 05:08:33,406
uhpresentativeabbelcaballero

8148
05:08:35,100 --> 05:08:35,350
sorry when you mention that

8149
05:08:39,620 --> 05:08:39,870
about intake it's critical

8150
05:08:43,380 --> 05:08:43,630
see that's why I mentioned now

8151
05:08:46,260 --> 05:08:46,510
on your second handout here

8152
05:08:49,260 --> 05:08:49,510
you've got

8153
05:08:50,220 --> 05:08:50,470
we're working with UN them we

8154
05:08:52,760 --> 05:08:53,010
have two interns that we're

8155
05:08:54,980 --> 05:08:55,230
working with who are passing out

8156
05:08:56,660 --> 05:08:56,910
these these are are surveys

8157
05:08:59,430 --> 05:08:59,680
because we want to get to those

8158
05:09:00,940 --> 05:09:01,190
questions because right now

8159
05:09:03,220 --> 05:09:03,470
intakes the way they are they're

8160
05:09:06,240 --> 05:09:06,490
pretty much they don't ask the

8161
05:09:08,800 --> 05:09:09,050
right questions

8162
05:09:10,740 --> 05:09:10,990
and as a part of this handout

8163
05:09:13,600 --> 05:09:13,850
and the questions that we're

8164
05:09:14,900 --> 05:09:15,150
asking on the second page

8165
05:09:17,088 --> 05:09:17,338
there's a

8166
05:09:20,270 --> 05:09:20,520
there's a screening tool

8167
05:09:24,450 --> 05:09:24,700
that we want everybody to use

8168
05:09:27,690 --> 05:09:27,940
right now the only ones that are

8169
05:09:29,350 --> 05:09:29,600
using it are Gallup Indian

8170
05:09:30,910 --> 05:09:31,160
Medical Center that I'm aware of

8171
05:09:34,590 --> 05:09:34,840
some of the MCO's

8172
05:09:36,150 --> 05:09:36,400
presbyterian Molina they've

8173
05:09:38,530 --> 05:09:38,780
picked it up to so they're

8174
05:09:40,050 --> 05:09:40,300
starting to use a different

8175
05:09:41,730 --> 05:09:41,980
screening tool not this one. I

8176
05:09:43,990 --> 05:09:44,240
just found out about this one at

8177
05:09:45,610 --> 05:09:45,860
our last brain injury

8178
05:09:46,910 --> 05:09:47,160
advisory council meeting you

8179
05:09:48,750 --> 05:09:49,000
have a question OK yeah as part

8180
05:09:51,510 --> 05:09:51,760
of our I'm on the brain

8181
05:09:53,470 --> 05:09:53,720
injury advisory council

8182
05:09:55,230 --> 05:09:55,480
and I just found out that that

8183
05:09:56,133 --> 05:09:56,383
we that

8184
05:10:00,000 --> 05:10:00,250
my act have our own separate

8185
05:10:01,180 --> 05:10:01,430
screening tool that's tied in to

8186
05:10:05,460 --> 05:10:05,710
to to the part to HCA so that

8187
05:10:07,840 --> 05:10:08,090
they're starting to gather this

8188
05:10:09,520 --> 05:10:09,770
information so they can kind of

8189
05:10:11,540 --> 05:10:11,790
ferret it out

8190
05:10:12,480 --> 05:10:12,730
and that will that's that will

8191
05:10:14,100 --> 05:10:14,350
be included with Senate

8192
05:10:18,720 --> 05:10:18,970
Bill30. that's part of this

8193
05:10:19,640 --> 05:10:19,890
Senate bill3 again I think that

8194
05:10:21,460 --> 05:10:21,710
you have Senate Bill30

8195
05:10:24,680 --> 05:10:24,930
yeah

8196
05:10:26,180 --> 05:10:26,430
and so

8197
05:10:27,613 --> 05:10:27,863
ok

8198
05:10:31,000 --> 05:10:31,250
the last thing I want to talk

8199
05:10:32,300 --> 05:10:32,550
about is that I was identi I was

8200
05:10:35,100 --> 05:10:35,350
contracted last week this is

8201
05:10:36,460 --> 05:10:36,710
another thing at thehozhoenter

05:10:38,060 --> 05:10:38,310
is working on and that's a

8203
05:10:40,020 --> 05:10:40,270

she's the one that contacted me

8209
05:10:56,140 --> 05:10:56,390
about this meeting we think that

8210
05:10:58,500 --> 05:10:58,750
there's that there's really a

8211
05:10:59,940 --> 05:11:00,190
need for

8212
05:11:00,360 --> 05:11:00,610

05:18:10,360 --> 05:18:10,610
our

8401
05:18:14,180 --> 05:18:14,430
previously I know I have

8402
05:18:15,620 --> 05:18:15,870
earmarked

8403
05:18:35,921 --> 05:18:36,171
communities or

8404
05:18:55,554 --> 05:18:55,804
sorry

8405
05:19:01,440 --> 05:19:01,690
do we had a dinner at Don

8406
05:19:04,780 --> 05:19:05,030
Diego's it's an annual dinner

8407
05:19:07,220 --> 05:19:07,470
with Santa Fe recovery with

8408
05:19:09,660 --> 05:19:09,910
their board and I brought up to

8409
05:19:12,160 --> 05:19:12,410
the chair and the new CEO for

8410
05:19:14,920 --> 05:19:15,170
them to take the lead in

8411
05:19:17,060 --> 05:19:17,310
developing a brain injury

8412
05:19:19,480 --> 05:19:19,730
rehabilitation program

8413
05:19:21,200 --> 05:19:21,450
they have a contact in I

8414
05:19:24,940 --> 05:19:25,190
think it was Colorado with it an

8415
05:19:28,560 --> 05:19:28,810
agency or or an organization

8416
05:19:29,980 --> 05:19:30,230
that works specifically with

8417
05:19:32,500 --> 05:19:32,750
alcohol substance abuse and

8418
05:19:34,620 --> 05:19:34,870
brain injury so I'm working on

8419
05:19:37,280 --> 05:19:37,530
that right now and if we could

8420
05:19:38,840 --> 05:19:39,090
get say that organization to

8421
05:19:41,480 --> 05:19:41,730
come here and set up shop that

8422
05:19:44,080 --> 05:19:44,330
would be great. that would be

8423
05:19:45,540 --> 05:19:45,790
just what we need because that's

8424
05:19:48,000 --> 05:19:48,250
one of the things that's

8425
05:19:49,260 --> 05:19:49,510
identified insenate bill30 is

8426
05:19:51,920 --> 05:19:52,170
a need a recommendation that

8427
05:19:54,920 --> 05:19:55,170
because right now there's no

8428
05:19:55,980 --> 05:19:56,230
place in state everybody sent

8429
05:19:58,440 --> 05:19:58,690
out a state

8430
05:20:00,000 --> 05:20:00,250
for any kind of rehab brain

8431
05:20:01,820 --> 05:20:02,070
injury rehab

8432
05:20:07,760 --> 05:20:08,010
injury rehabilitation injury

8433
05:20:08,180 --> 05:20:08,430
rehabilitation program that's

8434
05:20:10,100 --> 05:20:10,350
one of the recommendations

8435
05:20:11,360 --> 05:20:11,610
because there's nothing in in in

8436
05:20:13,760 --> 05:20:14,010
New Mexico and there needs to be

8437
05:20:17,520 --> 05:20:17,770
but so that's what I mentioned

8438
05:20:18,940 --> 05:20:19,190
to but they say oh that's

8439
05:20:20,460 --> 05:20:20,710
something we could look at so I

8440
05:20:21,620 --> 05:20:21,870
mean see it's this kind of work

8441
05:20:23,340 --> 05:20:23,590
I see that I do to give people

8442
05:20:26,120 --> 05:20:26,370
ideas and reach out and connect

8443
05:20:29,860 --> 05:20:30,110
with people

8444
05:20:33,720 --> 05:20:33,970
but they didn't say no they just

8445
05:20:35,800 --> 05:20:36,050
said then then that's how he

8446
05:20:37,080 --> 05:20:37,330
found out about this the program

8447
05:20:39,220 --> 05:20:39,470
that they know about that works

8448
05:20:41,420 --> 05:20:41,670
with people with brain injuries

8449
05:20:46,200 --> 05:20:46,450
because that would be ideal and

8450
05:20:48,140 --> 05:20:48,390
then we are also working with

8451
05:20:49,940 --> 05:20:50,190
brain injury it's not brain it's

8452
05:20:52,280 --> 05:20:52,530
life skillsternational and

8453
05:20:54,600 --> 05:20:54,850
that's something that I'm hoping

8454
05:20:56,120 --> 05:20:56,370
that Judgeyazi will will bring

8455
05:20:59,280 --> 05:20:59,530
up because we're working on

8456
05:21:00,242 --> 05:21:00,492
identi this this this

8457
05:21:07,400 --> 05:21:07,650
life skillsternational they

8458
05:21:07,920 --> 05:21:08,170
work around the state but it's

8459
05:21:11,260 --> 05:21:11,510
healing childhood trauma

8460
05:21:14,740 --> 05:21:14,990
and curing complex PTSD

8461
05:21:19,860 --> 05:21:20,110
they've got curriculum, they

8462
05:21:21,620 --> 05:21:21,870
work with schools they've worked

8463
05:21:23,500 --> 05:21:23,750
with domestic violence

8464
05:21:25,500 --> 05:21:25,750
organizations with state

8465
05:21:27,940 --> 05:21:28,190
agencies probation so they've

8466
05:21:31,380 --> 05:21:31,630
worked with a number of and so

8467
05:21:33,620 --> 05:21:33,870
that's who we're trying to get

8468
05:21:35,320 --> 05:21:35,570
within our MOU that we're

8469
05:21:37,380 --> 05:21:37,630
working on with with the courts

8470
05:21:40,200 --> 05:21:40,450
is have the courts work with

8471
05:21:43,200 --> 05:21:43,450
life skillsternational and I'm

8472
05:21:46,880 --> 05:21:47,130
hoping that they're going to

8473
05:21:47,820 --> 05:21:48,070
come up and she all kinds of

8474
05:21:49,460 --> 05:21:49,710
great

8475
05:21:49,660 --> 05:21:49,910
things about what they're doing

8476
05:21:52,700 --> 05:21:52,950
but but but this has so much

8477
05:21:55,060 --> 05:21:55,310
potential to solve our problems

8478
05:21:57,320 --> 05:21:57,570
here

8479
05:21:58,380 --> 05:21:58,630
to solve childhood trauma

8480
05:22:01,260 --> 05:22:01,510
and cure complex PTSD and I

8481
05:22:05,020 --> 05:22:05,270
believe in them. I I mean I it's

8482
05:22:07,200 --> 05:22:07,450
it's not just belief but I've

8483
05:22:10,220 --> 05:22:10,470
been involved with hearing and

8484
05:22:13,980 --> 05:22:14,230
working with life skills to

8485
05:22:17,740 --> 05:22:17,990
know that what they're talking

8486
05:22:19,240 --> 05:22:19,490
about is the same thing that I

8487
05:22:21,180 --> 05:22:21,430
talk about but it's finding the

8488
05:22:24,860 --> 05:22:25,110
are really getting to that place

8489
05:22:27,540 --> 05:22:27,790
to where practice you know

8490
05:22:31,080 --> 05:22:31,330
that's what the curriculum

8491
05:22:32,480 --> 05:22:32,730
offers people is a way because

8492
05:22:34,740 --> 05:22:34,990
it's not just it's like with

8493
05:22:36,580 --> 05:22:36,830
mindfulness for example you can

8494
05:22:38,800 --> 05:22:39,050
read about mindfulness and go oh

8495
05:22:40,600 --> 05:22:40,850
yeah that makes sense but you've

8496
05:22:42,640 --> 05:22:42,890
got to practice it you got to

8497
05:22:44,880 --> 05:22:45,130
practice it and so that's what

8498
05:22:47,860 --> 05:22:48,110
life schools International has

8499
05:22:49,560 --> 05:22:49,810
done. they've developed a system

8500
05:22:52,160 --> 05:22:52,410
with a curriculum that makes it

8501
05:22:55,680 --> 05:22:55,930
all happen

8502
05:22:56,700 --> 05:22:56,950
and I'll just leave it up to

8503
05:22:58,120 --> 05:22:58,370
them now to hope I didn't

8504
05:23:05,253 --> 05:23:05,503
thank you and I think the

8505
05:23:06,950 --> 05:23:07,200
well I don't really have

8506
05:23:08,050 --> 05:23:08,300
questions for

8507
05:23:11,076 --> 05:23:11,326
yeah we talked about

8508
05:23:15,570 --> 05:23:15,820
but do have questions for our

8509
05:23:19,670 --> 05:23:19,920
our our state people where this

8510
05:23:20,070 --> 05:23:20,320
is going so

8511
05:23:24,670 --> 05:23:24,920
and about finding in about SB3

8512
05:23:25,650 --> 05:23:25,900
and all of that but stay in the

8513
05:23:27,250 --> 05:23:27,500
stay in the conversation

8514
05:23:28,710 --> 05:23:28,960
continue to advocate that's very

8515
05:23:30,330 --> 05:23:30,580
important especially with this

8516
05:23:41,050 --> 05:23:41,300
do you

8517
05:23:41,590 --> 05:23:41,840
get the notices on some of that

8518
05:23:45,990 --> 05:23:46,240
I believe you were involved with

8519
05:23:47,470 --> 05:23:47,720
some of the planning that

8520
05:23:53,690 --> 05:23:53,940
Wa SB3 I was but I never got

8521
05:23:55,110 --> 05:23:55,360

wintertime it's kind of

8572
05:26:10,460 --> 05:26:10,710
difficult to drive

program has been in fruition

8578
05:26:22,800 --> 05:26:23,050
since 2022 during that time

8579
05:26:26,840 --> 05:26:27,090
we had our program was

8580
05:26:31,260 --> 05:26:31,510
we didn't have a lot of support

8581
05:26:33,280 --> 05:26:33,530
during that time and where we

8582
05:26:35,400 --> 05:26:35,650
were going to lose our funding

8583
05:26:36,500 --> 05:26:36,750
for our DWI treatment program

8584
05:26:38,280 --> 05:26:38,530
and we had to become we had to

8585
05:26:40,460 --> 05:26:40,710

half Navajo and half Sunni

8626

and I've lived in Gallup my

8627
05:28:07,420 --> 05:28:07,670
entire life. My dad was from

8628
05:28:09,840 --> 05:28:10,090

8629
05:28:11,400 --> 05:28:11,650
zuni and was sent to rehobus for

8630
05:28:12,820 --> 05:28:13,070
school.

8631
05:28:14,680 --> 05:28:14,930
and he never moved back to Zunni

8632
05:28:16,600 --> 05:28:16,850
so he he stayed in Gallup was

8633
05:28:18,820 --> 05:28:19,070
part of the medical field he

8634
05:28:21,160 --> 05:28:21,410
was an EMT paramedic and

8635
05:28:22,700 --> 05:28:22,950

8638
05:28:29,900 --> 05:28:30,150
in Zunni as well as the Navajo

8639
05:28:30,940 --> 05:28:31,190
Nation. He assisted Sa Benito

8640
05:28:33,000 --> 05:28:33,250
with their EMS services setting

8641
05:28:35,400 --> 05:28:35,650
that up. like I said, I've lived

8642
05:28:37,520 --> 05:28:37,770
here for in gallup for my entire

8643
05:28:39,440 --> 05:28:39,690
life born and raised so my

8644
05:28:41,240 --> 05:28:41,490
community means a lot to me and

8645
05:28:43,600 --> 05:28:43,850
this was

8646
05:28:44,460 --> 05:28:44,710
this is meaningful work to me

8647
05:28:49,020 --> 05:28:49,270
so to follow up on Ju what

8648
05:28:52,260 --> 05:28:52,510
Judgeazzie stated we are very

8649
05:28:54,120 --> 05:28:54,370
thankful that this program is

8650
05:28:55,520 --> 05:28:55,770
still up and going and shenel

8651
05:28:58,260 --> 05:28:58,510
did a lot of work just putting

8652
05:29:00,240 --> 05:29:00,490
it together, getting it

8653
05:29:01,220 --> 05:29:01,470
established, getting it off the

8654
05:29:02,460 --> 05:29:02,710
ground

8655
05:29:04,980 --> 05:29:05,230
came in and picked up where she

8656
05:29:06,400 --> 05:29:06,650
left off so I'm very thankful

8657
05:29:07,680 --> 05:29:07,930
for the work that she did before

8658
05:29:09,220 --> 05:29:09,470
me. as Dojazzy said our first

8659
05:29:11,660 --> 05:29:11,910
participant for the program

8660
05:29:13,360 --> 05:29:13,610
was inducted back in November of

8661
05:29:15,480 --> 05:29:15,730
2022.

8662
05:29:17,360 --> 05:29:17,610
as to date we have graduated16

8663
05:29:21,020 --> 05:29:21,270
of our participants so far.

8664
05:29:23,180 --> 05:29:23,430
total number of participants we

8665
05:29:25,160 --> 05:29:25,410
have served in the program is42.

8666
05:29:27,220 --> 05:29:27,470
so we have had42 participants in

8667
05:29:29,880 --> 05:29:30,130
total since the first induction

8668
05:29:31,740 --> 05:29:31,990
in November of 2022.

8669
05:29:34,200 --> 05:29:34,450
Our current caseload is18. I do

8670
05:29:38,060 --> 05:29:38,310
have17 individuals in person and

8671
05:29:39,740 --> 05:29:39,990
one in extended treatment

8672
05:29:41,760 --> 05:29:42,010
we have had in total 24

8673
05:29:44,200 --> 05:29:44,450
discharges

8674
05:29:45,900 --> 05:29:46,150
seven of these discharges were

8675
05:29:48,256 --> 05:29:48,506
unsuccessful.wo absconded and

8676
05:29:48,962 --> 05:29:49,212
ive were noncompliant.

8677
05:29:52,260 --> 05:29:52,510
There was one neutral discharge

8678
05:29:54,200 --> 05:29:54,450
for medical reasons

8679
05:30:00,000 --> 05:30:00,250
and16 successful discharges. We

8680
05:30:00,000 --> 05:30:00,250
also have 6 participants that

8681
05:30:02,080 --> 05:30:02,330
are scheduled to graduate on

8682
05:30:03,840 --> 05:30:04,090
Monday, September twentyeh

8683
05:30:06,540 --> 05:30:06,790
which will bring our count to

8684
05:30:10,360 --> 05:30:10,610
3030 discharges but 22

8685
05:30:12,280 --> 05:30:12,530
successful graduations.

8686
05:30:14,980 --> 05:30:15,230
we also

8687
05:30:17,560 --> 05:30:17,810
our recidivism rate our graduate

8688
05:30:19,040 --> 05:30:19,290
recidivism rate for fy 26

8689
05:30:23,640 --> 05:30:23,890
is14.29%. However, I was

8690
05:30:24,540 --> 05:30:24,790
informed by my supervisor

8691
05:30:26,780 --> 05:30:27,030
this afternoon as well that we

8692
05:30:28,660 --> 05:30:28,910
are actually below the national

8693
05:30:30,120 --> 05:30:30,370
average for recidivism which is

8694
05:30:33,300 --> 05:30:33,550
a 28 to35% rate three years

8695
05:30:36,580 --> 05:30:36,830
postgrad. so that was very

8696
05:30:38,700 --> 05:30:38,950
very encouraging to hear you

8697
05:30:39,748 --> 05:30:39,998
know

8698
05:30:43,760 --> 05:30:44,010
so that that's those are our

8699
05:30:45,020 --> 05:30:45,270
current numbers now we will

8700
05:30:47,500 --> 05:30:47,750
be accepting new referrals

8701
05:30:49,060 --> 05:30:49,310
probably at the end of the year.

8702
05:30:50,800 --> 05:30:51,050
with discharging six of these

8703
05:30:54,340 --> 05:30:54,590
participants that does bring my

8704
05:30:57,260 --> 05:30:57,510
caseload down to12. So I try to

8705
05:30:58,360 --> 05:30:58,610
keep it roughly about 20 I think

8706
05:31:00,460 --> 05:31:00,710
my largest caseload was about 21

8707
05:31:02,460 --> 05:31:02,710
or 22 individuals but for me to

8708
05:31:04,860 --> 05:31:05,110
oversee them and supervise them

8709
05:31:06,340 --> 05:31:06,590
on my own that's quite a bit so

8710
05:31:07,600 --> 05:31:07,850
I try to cap it out at 20 but

8711
05:31:09,700 --> 05:31:09,950
the more individuals we can help

8712
05:31:11,400 --> 05:31:11,650
you know that's that's the most

8713
05:31:12,380 --> 05:31:12,630
important thing

8714
05:31:14,040 --> 05:31:14,290
so yes those are those are

8715
05:31:15,280 --> 05:31:15,530
some numbers but just to kind of

8716
05:31:17,560 --> 05:31:17,810
give you an idea of our program

8717
05:31:18,920 --> 05:31:19,170
as well we do have a

8718
05:31:21,180 --> 05:31:21,430
multidisciplinary team which

8719
05:31:22,780 --> 05:31:23,030
consists of the judge she

8720
05:31:24,580 --> 05:31:24,830
oversees the program. I'm the

8721
05:31:26,800 --> 05:31:27,050
program manager and coordinator.

8722
05:31:28,560 --> 05:31:28,810
I also do supervision and

8723
05:31:32,200 --> 05:31:32,450
kinda whatever needs to be done,

8724
05:31:34,000 --> 05:31:34,250
I I will switch my hat as

8725
05:31:35,300 --> 05:31:35,550
necessary. We are currently

8726
05:31:37,100 --> 05:31:37,350
contracted withinsu Behavioral

8727
05:31:40,780 --> 05:31:41,030
Health which is a newer agency

8728
05:31:42,720 --> 05:31:42,970
within the community I

8729
05:31:44,820 --> 05:31:45,070
believe they got started about

8730
05:31:46,880 --> 05:31:47,130
I'm a couple of years ago I

8731
05:31:49,400 --> 05:31:49,650
don't want to give an exact

8732
05:31:50,040 --> 05:31:50,290
date. I may be wrong but yes

8733
05:31:51,880 --> 05:31:52,130
they they have been in the

8734
05:31:52,860 --> 05:31:53,110
community for I want to say

8735
05:31:54,940 --> 05:31:55,190
about5 years or so we were

8736
05:31:57,460 --> 05:31:57,710
previously contracted with our

8737
05:31:59,220 --> 05:31:59,470
Corners or Santa Ferecovery as

8738
05:32:01,320 --> 05:32:01,570
they're now known. we still have

8739
05:32:03,180 --> 05:32:03,430
an MOUis four corners here for

8740
05:32:04,980 --> 05:32:05,230
our inpatient residential so

8741
05:32:06,940 --> 05:32:07,190
we're able to send particip

8742
05:32:08,660 --> 05:32:08,910
ant s that are qualified for

8743
05:32:10,180 --> 05:32:10,430
inpatient here to wind I'm

8744
05:32:12,420 --> 05:32:12,670
sorry here to our corners here

8745
05:32:13,620 --> 05:32:13,870
in Gallup. and still working

8746
05:32:16,700 --> 05:32:16,950
withinsung as well. We also did

8747
05:32:18,440 --> 05:32:18,690
develop an MOU as Ken said

8748
05:32:22,220 --> 05:32:22,470
withhozhouenter for Personal

8749
05:32:23,040 --> 05:32:23,290
Enhancement. So we are

8750
05:32:24,940 --> 05:32:25,190
we are hoping that we can well

8751
05:32:29,260 --> 05:32:29,510
not hoping this is what our plan

8752
05:32:30,560 --> 05:32:30,810
is is we're gonna start to

8753
05:32:32,520 --> 05:32:32,770
incorporate more healing to

8754
05:32:34,500 --> 05:32:34,750
wellness what's called healing

8755
05:32:35,380 --> 05:32:35,630
to wellness and what that is is

8756
05:32:36,640 --> 05:32:36,890
basically traditional healing.

8757
05:32:39,100 --> 05:32:39,350
so we can utilize their

8758
05:32:42,200 --> 05:32:42,450
serviceshozhouenter services

8759
05:32:42,800 --> 05:32:43,050
such as their hoon for any type

8760
05:32:45,280 --> 05:32:45,530
of meetings and also their

8761
05:32:47,840 --> 05:32:48,090
well brady talking circle so

8762
05:32:49,400 --> 05:32:49,650
those are some more options for

8763
05:32:51,900 --> 05:32:52,150
our participants who want to

8764
05:32:53,560 --> 05:32:53,810
stay engaged with traditional

8765
05:32:55,180 --> 05:32:55,430
practices and it also opens

8766
05:32:57,200 --> 05:32:57,450
up the cultural and

8767
05:32:59,180 --> 05:32:59,430
traditional component for those

8768
05:33:01,240 --> 05:33:01,490
individuals who maybe grew up

8769
05:33:04,120 --> 05:33:04,370
without that connection without

8770
05:33:05,620 --> 05:33:05,870
that tie and now they're they're

8771
05:33:07,100 --> 05:33:07,350
looking for something they're

8772
05:33:08,440 --> 05:33:08,690
searching you know for

8773
05:33:09,460 --> 05:33:09,710
spirituality and that's

8774
05:33:11,880 --> 05:33:12,130
another option for them so we

8775
05:33:13,180 --> 05:33:13,430
encourage them to stay connected

8776
05:33:15,600 --> 05:33:15,850
with their traditions and

8777
05:33:17,100 --> 05:33:17,350
developing that MOU withhozi was

8778
05:33:19,900 --> 05:33:20,150
a way for us to do that and

8779
05:33:21,420 --> 05:33:21,670
provide those for our

8780
05:33:22,480 --> 05:33:22,730
participants. we also have an

8781
05:33:25,320 --> 05:33:25,570
alumni support group that I

8782
05:33:26,900 --> 05:33:27,150
would like to highlight because

8783
05:33:28,060 --> 05:33:28,310
I think our alumni support group

8784
05:33:29,620 --> 05:33:29,870
is a very important part of our

8785
05:33:31,680 --> 05:33:31,930
program

8786
05:33:32,840 --> 05:33:33,090
the alumni support group

8787
05:33:34,080 --> 05:33:34,330
consists of graduates of the

8788
05:33:36,400 --> 05:33:36,650
program

8789
05:33:39,140 --> 05:33:39,390
and they they the train

8790
05:33:42,160 --> 05:33:42,410
coordinators we have4 trained

8791
05:33:42,480 --> 05:33:42,730
coordinators so they went

8792
05:33:43,580 --> 05:33:43,830
through the training process to

8793
05:33:44,900 --> 05:33:45,150
become a coordinator learning

8794
05:33:47,080 --> 05:33:47,330
about ethics learning about

8795
05:33:48,500 --> 05:33:48,750
boundaries learning how to

8796
05:33:49,660 --> 05:33:49,910
conduct a group appropriately.

8797
05:33:51,760 --> 05:33:52,010
so we do have4 trained

8798
05:33:53,120 --> 05:33:53,370
coordinators for our program

8799
05:33:56,000 --> 05:33:56,250
to our contracted with the state

8800
05:33:57,180 --> 05:33:57,430
of New Mexico and two are

8801
05:33:59,040 --> 05:33:59,290
pending graduation at after

8802
05:34:01,140 --> 05:34:01,390
graduation they will be

8803
05:34:02,140 --> 05:34:02,390
contracted. So out of those six

8804
05:34:03,500 --> 05:34:03,750
graduates we have on Monday

8805
05:34:05,440 --> 05:34:05,690
two of them are ready to

8806
05:34:06,780 --> 05:34:07,030
contract with the state of New

8807
05:34:07,780 --> 05:34:08,030
Mexico as alumni coordinators

8808
05:34:09,940 --> 05:34:10,190
we hold our alumni support group

8809
05:34:11,980 --> 05:34:12,230
at the courthouse before ourDWI

8810
05:34:14,620 --> 05:34:14,870
treatment court docket. it's an

8811
05:34:17,640 --> 05:34:17,890
hourlong, just basically a

8812
05:34:18,700 --> 05:34:18,950
recovery group something where

8813
05:34:20,440 --> 05:34:20,690
they it I guess it could be

8814
05:34:22,380 --> 05:34:22,630
equated to something similar to

8815
05:34:24,180 --> 05:34:24,430
like a maybe an AA group a

8816
05:34:26,620 --> 05:34:26,870
support group but it's also just

8817
05:34:28,140 --> 05:34:28,390
a safe space for them to

8818
05:34:29,680 --> 05:34:29,930
share and

8819
05:34:33,000 --> 05:34:33,250
just you know kind of reflect on

8820
05:34:36,860 --> 05:34:37,110
things together as a whole.

8821
05:34:38,160 --> 05:34:38,410
Again, these are participants of

8822
05:34:39,520 --> 05:34:39,770
the program both previously and

8823
05:34:41,320 --> 05:34:41,570
current. and this is only for

8824
05:34:43,040 --> 05:34:43,290
our participants of the

8825
05:34:44,080 --> 05:34:44,330
treatment court programme. So I

8826
05:34:45,700 --> 05:34:45,950
always tell the participants you

8827
05:34:46,960 --> 05:34:47,210
know it's a safe place. please

8828
05:34:48,200 --> 05:34:48,450
go and attend if you want to

8829
05:34:51,000 --> 05:34:51,250
vent about the program you want

8830
05:34:52,280 --> 05:34:52,530
to vent about me you know that's

8831
05:34:53,620 --> 05:34:53,870
a safe place it's it's all

8832
05:34:54,920 --> 05:34:55,170
confidential our alumni

8833
05:34:56,020 --> 05:34:56,270
coordinators do keep it

8834
05:34:57,240 --> 05:34:57,490
confidential and are only

8835
05:34:58,940 --> 05:34:59,190
required to for mandated

8836
05:35:00,840 --> 05:35:01,090
reporting so our participants

8837
05:35:03,440 --> 05:35:03,690
have

8838
05:35:03,940 --> 05:35:04,190
really enjoyed that and I

8839
05:35:05,700 --> 05:35:05,950
appreciate our two trained

8840
05:35:07,440 --> 05:35:07,690
coordinators that are contracted

8841
05:35:08,920 --> 05:35:09,170
Tyrone Castillo and Duane

8842
05:35:12,150 --> 05:35:12,400
Chamani. when I came on for this

8843
05:35:13,960 --> 05:35:14,210
program officially came on I

8844
05:35:16,880 --> 05:35:17,130
over I started to oversee the

8845
05:35:18,360 --> 05:35:18,610
program in February of

8846
05:35:19,460 --> 05:35:19,710
2024 and then started with the

8847
05:35:23,460 --> 05:35:23,710
state of New Mexico became a

8848
05:35:25,240 --> 05:35:25,490
permanent employee in September

8849
05:35:26,680 --> 05:35:26,930
of 2024 as well. So within that

8850
05:35:29,500 --> 05:35:29,750
time I was just overseeing

8851
05:35:31,400 --> 05:35:31,650
the program and working for the

8852
05:35:32,980 --> 05:35:33,230
compliance program with

8853
05:35:34,000 --> 05:35:34,250
McKinley County. once I was

8854
05:35:36,180 --> 05:35:36,430
officially in my position as the

8855
05:35:37,960 --> 05:35:38,210
program manager, the first thing

8856
05:35:39,360 --> 05:35:39,610
that I told my supervisor was I

8857
05:35:41,040 --> 05:35:41,290
want to get the alumni group

8858
05:35:42,300 --> 05:35:42,550
going. We know we need to have

8859
05:35:43,840 --> 05:35:44,090
some support for our

8860
05:35:44,840 --> 05:35:45,090
participants as well. and I

8861
05:35:47,360 --> 05:35:47,610
put the offer out there to our

8862
05:35:48,840 --> 05:35:49,090
previous graduates and

8863
05:35:50,840 --> 05:35:51,090
thankfullyduane and Tyrone did

8864
05:35:51,500 --> 05:35:51,750
step up and you know offered to

8865
05:35:53,380 --> 05:35:53,630
help me so they've been employed

8866
05:35:54,920 --> 05:35:55,170
with the state probably just as

8867
05:35:56,100 --> 05:35:56,350
long as I have but I I have a

8868
05:35:57,900 --> 05:35:58,150
deep appreciation for them

8869
05:36:00,440 --> 05:36:00,690
Tyrone in the meantime has

8870
05:36:02,160 --> 05:36:02,410
advanced his education

8871
05:36:03,880 --> 05:36:04,130
and is enrolled with the UNM and

8872
05:36:06,200 --> 05:36:06,450
looking to pursue a career in

8873
05:36:09,160 --> 05:36:09,410
the behavioral health field as

8874
05:36:10,460 --> 05:36:10,710
well he's doing great things and

8875
05:36:12,240 --> 05:36:12,490
working with peer peer

8876
05:36:13,811 --> 05:36:14,061
members from thehozhou uhenter

8877
05:36:16,700 --> 05:36:16,950
as well and thenduanne is also

8878
05:36:17,340 --> 05:36:17,590
our

8879
05:36:19,360 --> 05:36:19,610
our other coordinator he is from

8880
05:36:23,060 --> 05:36:23,310
Zunni as well and he stays in

8881
05:36:24,700 --> 05:36:24,950
contact with celebrate recovery

8882
05:36:27,460 --> 05:36:27,710
and you know kind of keeps the

8883
05:36:28,900 --> 05:36:29,150
recovery group going within the

8884
05:36:31,580 --> 05:36:31,830
unique community and our our

8885
05:36:31,860 --> 05:36:32,110
community here within Gallup and

8886
05:36:34,240 --> 05:36:34,490
then also being a part of our

8887
05:36:35,280 --> 05:36:35,530
alumni group as well. So I'm

8888
05:36:36,780 --> 05:36:37,030
very thankful for these

8889
05:36:37,740 --> 05:36:37,990
individuals and I think peer

8890
05:36:39,440 --> 05:36:39,690
support is you know the other

8891
05:36:41,520 --> 05:36:41,770
half of what makes our program

8892
05:36:43,120 --> 05:36:43,370
work. being able to have peers

8893
05:36:45,680 --> 05:36:45,930
available for our participants

8894
05:36:47,380 --> 05:36:47,630
that understand what they're

8895
05:36:48,680 --> 05:36:48,930
going through, understand how

8896
05:36:50,140 --> 05:36:50,390
difficult the

8897
05:36:50,880 --> 05:36:51,130
program can be and but they

8898
05:36:53,680 --> 05:36:53,930
can say they did it you know

8899
05:36:54,840 --> 05:36:55,090
they made it they struggled

8900
05:36:56,080 --> 05:36:56,330
through it so whatever support

8901
05:36:58,140 --> 05:36:58,390
they and motivation they can

8902
05:36:59,940 --> 05:37:00,190
offer our participants we we

8903
05:37:01,300 --> 05:37:01,550
extremely are appreciative of it

8904
05:37:05,800 --> 05:37:06,050
and then like I said just a it's

8905
05:37:08,060 --> 05:37:08,310
just a kind of a rundown of how

8906
05:37:09,280 --> 05:37:09,530
our how our program works I'm

8907
05:37:12,220 --> 05:37:12,470
not sure if you all are you know

8908
05:37:13,200 --> 05:37:13,450
familiar with treatment courts

8909
05:37:15,220 --> 05:37:15,470
but we do have a

8910
05:37:15,980 --> 05:37:16,230
multidisciplinary team that

8911
05:37:18,440 --> 05:37:18,690
consists of the

8912
05:37:19,520 --> 05:37:19,770
the judge myself probation

8913
05:37:22,820 --> 05:37:23,070
officers from the compliance

8914
05:37:24,040 --> 05:37:24,290
program our treatment providers

8915
05:37:25,980 --> 05:37:26,230
as well as we have a

8916
05:37:28,360 --> 05:37:28,610
contracted defense counsel for

8917
05:37:30,140 --> 05:37:30,390
our for our participants. So our

8918
05:37:32,780 --> 05:37:33,030
defense counsel is our go to for

8919
05:37:35,180 --> 05:37:35,430
our participants if there's any

8920
05:37:36,970 --> 05:37:37,220
noncompliance, if there's you

8921
05:37:38,360 --> 05:37:38,610
know any kind of questions,

8922
05:37:39,520 --> 05:37:39,770
anything like that our defense

8923
05:37:40,840 --> 05:37:41,090
counsel makes sure that we're

8924
05:37:42,660 --> 05:37:42,910
abiding by all legal proceedings

8925
05:37:45,640 --> 05:37:45,890
and you know not violating

8926
05:37:46,900 --> 05:37:47,150
anybody's rights so they are the

8927
05:37:48,380 --> 05:37:48,630
advocate for our participants

8928
05:37:49,660 --> 05:37:49,910
and our participant

8929
05:37:50,480 --> 05:37:50,730
s know that and they will call

8930
05:37:52,520 --> 05:37:52,770
her they you know we've we're

8931
05:37:55,140 --> 05:37:55,390
going through a transition right

8932
05:37:56,200 --> 05:37:56,450
now and there was some issues

8933
05:37:57,760 --> 05:37:58,010
regarding UAs and of course you

8934
05:38:02,100 --> 05:38:02,350
know you a's are always gonna

8935
05:38:02,660 --> 05:38:02,910
make our participants nervous

8936
05:38:05,460 --> 05:38:05,710
you know if there may be like

8937
05:38:06,380 --> 05:38:06,630
false positives or whatever so

8938
05:38:07,840 --> 05:38:08,090
they contacted their defense

8939
05:38:09,120 --> 05:38:09,370
counsel but this was a great

8940
05:38:10,940 --> 05:38:11,190
illustration of our

8941
05:38:12,880 --> 05:38:13,130
participant's learning to

8942
05:38:13,640 --> 05:38:13,890
advocate for themselves. so that

8943
05:38:15,340 --> 05:38:15,590
was a great way for us to say

8944
05:38:18,300 --> 05:38:18,550
you know you're doing what

8945
05:38:18,900 --> 05:38:19,150
you're supposed to be doing and

8946
05:38:19,269 --> 05:38:19,519
and they

8947
05:38:20,220 --> 05:38:20,470
' re you know they're being

8948
05:38:21,380 --> 05:38:21,630
heard and somebody is advocating

8949
05:38:22,860 --> 05:38:23,110
for them and some of these

8950
05:38:24,440 --> 05:38:24,690
things are

8951
05:38:27,660 --> 05:38:27,910
are participants have never had

8952
05:38:28,900 --> 05:38:29,150
to do this before or they may be

8953
05:38:30,760 --> 05:38:31,010
scared they may not know how to

8954
05:38:32,820 --> 05:38:33,070
go about it. They just kind of

8955
05:38:34,700 --> 05:38:34,950
roll with the punches they've

8956
05:38:35,680 --> 05:38:35,930
been in the legal system for so

8957
05:38:37,020 --> 05:38:37,270
long they just do what they're

8958
05:38:38,020 --> 05:38:38,270
told but so we're we're showing

8959
05:38:39,720 --> 05:38:39,970
them to advocate for themselves

8960
05:38:41,100 --> 05:38:41,350
and then to touch a little bit

8961
05:38:42,680 --> 05:38:42,930
on a life skills that Ken was

8962
05:38:44,440 --> 05:38:44,690
talking about. We do have

8963
05:38:45,980 --> 05:38:46,230
certain curriculums that they

8964
05:38:47,460 --> 05:38:47,710
are required to

8965
05:38:48,740 --> 05:38:48,990
complete the treatment component

8966
05:38:52,200 --> 05:38:52,450
is through the entirety of the

8967
05:38:53,720 --> 05:38:53,970
program so as soon as we get

8968
05:38:55,500 --> 05:38:55,750
them in they're going for IopP

8969
05:38:57,580 --> 05:38:57,830
which is intensive outpatient a

8970
05:38:59,440 --> 05:38:59,690
90da program. Once they complete

8971
05:39:01,100 --> 05:39:01,350
that they step down to what is

8972
05:39:03,420 --> 05:39:03,670
called moral recognition therapy

8973
05:39:05,480 --> 05:39:05,730
and that is where we see the

8974
05:39:07,820 --> 05:39:08,070
change happening and it is it

8975
05:39:11,080 --> 05:39:11,330
it'si do not have the words for

8976
05:39:12,540 --> 05:39:12,790
it. I have been meeting with our

8977
05:39:14,120 --> 05:39:14,370
graduates today and tomorrow

8978
05:39:16,480 --> 05:39:16,730
I will be meeting with our ix

8979
05:39:17,800 --> 05:39:18,050
graduates for their final

8980
05:39:18,137 --> 05:39:18,387
check-ins

8981
05:39:20,000 --> 05:39:20,250
and I met with three today and

8982
05:39:22,260 --> 05:39:22,510
it was very emotional

8983
05:39:24,120 --> 05:39:24,370
just to see

8984
05:39:24,880 --> 05:39:25,130
the person who sat in front of

8985
05:39:27,840 --> 05:39:28,090
me when I sold them on the on

8986
05:39:29,680 --> 05:39:29,930
the program and screened them

8987
05:39:31,760 --> 05:39:32,010
and told them hey you qualify

8988
05:39:33,160 --> 05:39:33,410
you know do you want to take

8989
05:39:33,960 --> 05:39:34,210
this opportunity versus who I

8990
05:39:36,040 --> 05:39:36,290
see sitting in front of me. for

8991
05:39:37,880 --> 05:39:38,130
example one of my participants

8992
05:39:39,840 --> 05:39:40,090
my female participants came in

8993
05:39:41,620 --> 05:39:41,870
and I had her on probation at

8994
05:39:43,080 --> 05:39:43,330
compliance so she kind of

8995
05:39:44,220 --> 05:39:44,470
followed me over. I knew her

8996
05:39:46,560 --> 05:39:46,810
backstory. I knew there was

8997
05:39:49,660 --> 05:39:49,910
noncompliance and what the

8998
05:39:50,140 --> 05:39:50,390
issues were you know housing

8999
05:39:51,800 --> 05:39:52,050
environment stuff like that she

9000
05:39:53,160 --> 05:39:53,410
was in a bad environment

9001
05:39:57,100 --> 05:39:57,350
now

9002
05:39:57,460 --> 05:39:57,710
I met with her today and I was

9003
05:39:59,240 --> 05:39:59,490
so happy just that that was my

9004
05:40:01,540 --> 05:40:01,790
first checkin today and it was

9005
05:40:02,960 --> 05:40:03,210
very emotional for many reasons.

9006
05:40:06,180 --> 05:40:06,430
Within this program she has

9007
05:40:07,700 --> 05:40:07,950
obtained her own housing. She

9008
05:40:09,520 --> 05:40:09,770
has moved out from living with

9009
05:40:11,120 --> 05:40:11,370
her family, which was the toxic

9010
05:40:12,820 --> 05:40:13,070
environment and she was able to

9011
05:40:14,480 --> 05:40:14,730
obtain housing on her own not

9012
05:40:17,140 --> 05:40:17,390
just one apartment she found an

9013
05:40:18,700 --> 05:40:18,950
apartment you know wasn't the

9014
05:40:20,360 --> 05:40:20,610
right place for her, didn't work

9015
05:40:21,780 --> 05:40:22,030
out for her finances and she

9016
05:40:23,780 --> 05:40:24,030
found another apartment and just

9017
05:40:25,400 --> 05:40:25,650
continued to motivate herself

9018
05:40:27,520 --> 05:40:27,770
and following up on these

9019
05:40:28,540 --> 05:40:28,790
applications and so she's where

9020
05:40:30,520 --> 05:40:30,770
she needs to be in a good

9021
05:40:31,660 --> 05:40:31,910
environment a nice neighborhood,

9022
05:40:33,680 --> 05:40:33,930
safe house, she does have

9023
05:40:36,200 --> 05:40:36,450
custody of one of her daughters

9024
05:40:37,760 --> 05:40:38,010
and is working on regaining

9025
05:40:39,700 --> 05:40:39,950
custody of the other daughter.

9026
05:40:41,420 --> 05:40:41,670
She told me today that she is

9027
05:40:42,740 --> 05:40:42,990
has the younger daughter who she

9028
05:40:44,820 --> 05:40:45,070
does not have custody of.

9029
05:40:46,460 --> 05:40:46,710
she's able to bring her over on

9030
05:40:47,840 --> 05:40:48,090
the weekends and she's

9031
05:40:49,240 --> 05:40:49,490
planning on keeping her for the

9032
05:40:51,220 --> 05:40:51,470
fall break and just working up

9033
05:40:52,820 --> 05:40:53,070
to eventually petitioning for

9034
05:40:54,980 --> 05:40:55,230
custody again. so very proud of

9035
05:40:57,280 --> 05:40:57,530
her but

9036
05:40:57,480 --> 05:40:57,730
like I said to see the

9037
05:40:58,660 --> 05:40:58,910
individual who sat in who sat in

9038
05:41:00,260 --> 05:41:00,510
front of me this morning who

9039
05:41:01,320 --> 05:41:01,570
sits who who sits in front of me

9040
05:41:03,000 --> 05:41:03,250
you know big change, major

9041
05:41:05,640 --> 05:41:05,890
life changes attitude and that's

9042
05:41:08,180 --> 05:41:08,430
one thing I think we can all say

9043
05:41:10,860 --> 05:41:11,110
we we don't like to be told hey

9044
05:41:13,460 --> 05:41:13,710
you've got an attitude you know

9045
05:41:14,860 --> 05:41:15,110
don't be like that but these are

9046
05:41:16,880 --> 05:41:17,130
things we have to tell our

9047
05:41:18,260 --> 05:41:18,510
participants because it's a it's

9048
05:41:19,780 --> 05:41:20,030
a whole change you know full

9049
05:41:22,660 --> 05:41:22,910
circle so and they get it they

9050
05:41:25,020 --> 05:41:25,270
really do get it and I think

9051
05:41:26,100 --> 05:41:26,350
that moral recognition the

9052
05:41:27,540 --> 05:41:27,790
ra p y does help just to

9053
05:41:30,140 --> 05:41:30,390
encourage accountability and

9054
05:41:32,860 --> 05:41:33,110
that's one of the biggest things

9055
05:41:34,200 --> 05:41:34,450
that helps them is just being

9056
05:41:35,940 --> 05:41:36,190
able to say yes I did that. I'm

9057
05:41:38,520 --> 05:41:38,770
sorry let's make amends and

9058
05:41:40,580 --> 05:41:40,830
let's move on from it and that's

9059
05:41:42,300 --> 05:41:42,550
what moral recognition therapy

9060
05:41:43,500 --> 05:41:43,750
does a lot with their family as

9061
05:41:45,140 --> 05:41:45,390
well so we're seeing

9062
05:41:46,060 --> 05:41:46,310
relationships being rebuilt with

9063
05:41:48,440 --> 05:41:48,690
the family with the kids you

9064
05:41:50,180 --> 05:41:50,430
know and these are trust is lost

9065
05:41:52,420 --> 05:41:52,670
you know so that's a hard thing

9066
05:41:53,440 --> 05:41:53,690
to regain that trust with your

9067
05:41:55,060 --> 05:41:55,310
family but also with your

9068
05:41:56,280 --> 05:41:56,530
children and this participant

9069
05:41:58,640 --> 05:41:58,890
did tell me this morning

9070
05:42:00,300 --> 05:42:00,550
I had a moment of realization

9071
05:42:02,240 --> 05:42:02,490
this weekend of course because

9072
05:42:04,180 --> 05:42:04,430
there was the blackout you know

9073
05:42:05,520 --> 05:42:05,770
we had no utilities for quite a

9074
05:42:07,020 --> 05:42:07,270
while so she was sitting there

9075
05:42:08,280 --> 05:42:08,530
and she said my girls had a

9076
05:42:10,100 --> 05:42:10,350
little dance party in the living

9077
05:42:11,380 --> 05:42:11,630
room. they brought out their

9078
05:42:12,340 --> 05:42:12,590
glow sticks. they brought out

9079
05:42:13,460 --> 05:42:13,710
their little lights they had the

9080
05:42:14,480 --> 05:42:14,730
the phone going you know so they

9081
05:42:16,100 --> 05:42:16,350
had a little dance party she

9082
05:42:17,320 --> 05:42:17,570
goes and I took a step back

9083
05:42:20,560 --> 05:42:20,810
and

9084
05:42:20,960 --> 05:42:21,210
I just she goes it was just like

9085
05:42:22,840 --> 05:42:23,090
one of those being in the moment

9086
05:42:24,220 --> 05:42:24,470
moments where she was in her own

9087
05:42:26,180 --> 05:42:26,430
place at her kitchen table. herr

9088
05:42:28,660 --> 05:42:28,910
girls were here with her and

9089
05:42:30,180 --> 05:42:30,430
they were safe and what got me

9090
05:42:32,940 --> 05:42:33,190
what got me right in the heart

9091
05:42:33,900 --> 05:42:34,150
was she said and my girls knew

9092
05:42:36,160 --> 05:42:36,410
they were safe.

9093
05:42:38,760 --> 05:42:39,010
intoxicated they didn't have to

9094
05:42:40,380 --> 05:42:40,630
worry about mom and they weren't

9095
05:42:42,840 --> 05:42:43,090
there taking care of each other

9096
05:42:44,200 --> 05:42:44,450
because I was not in the right

9097
05:42:45,980 --> 05:42:46,230
state of mind. Oh it it makes me

9098
05:42:47,780 --> 05:42:48,030
emotional now but you know to

9099
05:42:49,160 --> 05:42:49,410
hear her say that was like

9100
05:42:51,700 --> 05:42:51,950
wow I have no other words for it

9101
05:42:54,140 --> 05:42:54,390
than wow you know and I I just

9102
05:42:56,120 --> 05:42:56,370
told her I wish I had all the

9103
05:42:58,600 --> 05:42:58,850
words in the world to tell you

9104
05:43:00,000 --> 05:43:00,250
how proud of you I am and one

9105
05:43:02,460 --> 05:43:02,710
thing I do tell them is there's

9106
05:43:04,520 --> 05:43:04,770
a lot life is hard we all know

9107
05:43:06,000 --> 05:43:06,250
life is hard. This may be the

9108
05:43:08,420 --> 05:43:08,670
hardest thing you've done in

9109
05:43:09,540 --> 05:43:09,790
your life and if it is

9110
05:43:11,640 --> 05:43:11,890
congratulations you did it

9111
05:43:13,580 --> 05:43:13,830
You are doing it so don't ever

9112
05:43:15,400 --> 05:43:15,650
doubt yourself and know that you

9113
05:43:17,240 --> 05:43:17,490
can do hard things in life you

9114
05:43:18,800 --> 05:43:19,050
know it's just about asking for

9115
05:43:20,840 --> 05:43:21,090
help and finding the right

9116
05:43:22,540 --> 05:43:22,790
people to support you and I

9117
05:43:24,180 --> 05:43:24,430
think that's where our team

9118
05:43:25,820 --> 05:43:26,070
comes in, our empathy and our

9119
05:43:28,220 --> 05:43:28,470
compassion from the judge from

9120
05:43:30,360 --> 05:43:30,610
myself, from our

9121
05:43:31,320 --> 05:43:31,570
multidisciplinary team and most

9122
05:43:33,260 --> 05:43:33,510
s most especially from our peers

9123
05:43:43,240 --> 05:43:43,490
Well and again that was a big

9124
05:43:45,000 --> 05:43:45,250
rundown but ok

9125
05:43:47,460 --> 05:43:47,710
but I'm glad again that Danielle

9126
05:43:49,440 --> 05:43:49,690
shared with us again our success

9127
05:43:51,240 --> 05:43:51,490
in our program. We again

9128
05:43:53,420 --> 05:43:53,670
treatment works

9129
05:43:54,840 --> 05:43:55,090
if you listen if you believe you

9130
05:43:57,180 --> 05:43:57,430
have empathy and compassion for

9131
05:43:59,060 --> 05:43:59,310
your community right now again

9132
05:44:01,680 --> 05:44:01,930

9133
05:44:01,880 --> 05:44:02,130
participants were100% Native

9134
05:44:05,780 --> 05:44:06,030
American. they're all DWI

9135
05:44:08,080 --> 05:44:08,330

9136
05:44:09,920 --> 05:44:10,170
everyone who's in our program

9137
05:44:11,780 --> 05:44:12,030

9139
05:44:16,460 --> 05:44:16,710
and we have we have had two

9140
05:44:18,400 --> 05:44:18,650
gentlemen who've asked me to

9141
05:44:20,660 --> 05:44:20,910
throw them in jail put them in

9142
05:44:21,960 --> 05:44:22,210
jail and I told him I'm not

9143
05:44:23,960 --> 05:44:24,210
giving up on you I'm not gonna

9144
05:44:26,120 --> 05:44:26,370
give you that leeway and I'm not

9145
05:44:27,700 --> 05:44:27,950
gonna place you in custody

9146
05:44:28,920 --> 05:44:29,170
you're gonna finish this program

9147
05:44:30,080 --> 05:44:30,330
so what now the when she

9148
05:44:31,600 --> 05:44:31,850
mentioned Mr Tyrone Castillo

9149
05:44:33,660 --> 05:44:33,910
who's now our alumni

9150
05:44:34,900 --> 05:44:35,150
coordinator. thanks me everyday

9151
05:44:37,260 --> 05:44:37,510
almost every every time we have

9152
05:44:37,595 --> 05:44:37,845
our

9153
05:44:38,920 --> 05:44:39,170
our our session that he's very

9154
05:44:41,700 --> 05:44:41,950
thankful because he's on the

9155
05:44:43,060 --> 05:44:43,310
right path and he's becoming

9156
05:44:44,600 --> 05:44:44,850
successful

9157
05:44:45,260 --> 05:44:45,510
again and he was one of those

9158
05:44:48,680 --> 05:44:48,930
gentleman again who I guess you

9159
05:44:50,100 --> 05:44:50,350
would see out on the street who

9160
05:44:51,300 --> 05:44:51,550
was like thuglike I guess you

9161
05:44:52,780 --> 05:44:53,030
could say that he would have a

9162
05:44:53,980 --> 05:44:54,230
thug life and a gangster but he

9163
05:44:58,080 --> 05:44:58,330
phased out of it and now he's

9164
05:44:59,880 --> 05:45:00,130
become a man and he's become a

9165
05:45:01,300 --> 05:45:01,550
better man man for himself and

9166
05:45:03,460 --> 05:45:03,710
his mother so

9167
05:45:04,640 --> 05:45:04,890
that was a successful story for

9168
05:45:07,140 --> 05:45:07,390
us again and his mom he she came

9169
05:45:10,460 --> 05:45:10,710
to the graduation and she was

9170
05:45:12,040 --> 05:45:12,290
very grateful to see her son

9171
05:45:14,080 --> 05:45:14,330
again

9172
05:45:15,480 --> 05:45:15,730
and she she shed some tears

9173
05:45:19,380 --> 05:45:19,630
and very she was very emotional

9174
05:45:21,120 --> 05:45:21,370
with who she saw and then of

9175
05:45:23,340 --> 05:45:23,590
course we'd had an emotional

9176
05:45:24,000 --> 05:45:24,250
other graduates who had their

9177
05:45:26,260 --> 05:45:26,510
parents come through and again

9178
05:45:27,740 --> 05:45:27,990
those stories are emotional as

9179
05:45:29,160 --> 05:45:29,410
well so again treatment works

9180
05:45:32,460 --> 05:45:32,710
but again you have to believe

9181
05:45:35,040 --> 05:45:35,290
and again leadership have to

9182
05:45:36,640 --> 05:45:36,890
believe as well

9183
05:45:39,000 --> 05:45:39,250
people can change

9184
05:45:41,640 --> 05:45:41,890
again and this is our community

9185
05:45:43,780 --> 05:45:44,030
and we want to make our

9186
05:45:44,940 --> 05:45:45,190
community better we want to heal

9187
05:45:47,240 --> 05:45:47,490
our young kids that are walking

9188
05:45:49,100 --> 05:45:49,350
the streets and again

9189
05:45:52,100 --> 05:45:52,350
older older again older

9190
05:45:53,940 --> 05:45:54,190
generation as well who

9191
05:45:55,420 --> 05:45:55,670
experienced again childhood

9192
05:45:57,080 --> 05:45:57,330
trauma again historical

9193
05:46:01,340 --> 05:46:01,590
trauma and that's where we stand

9194
05:46:04,720 --> 05:46:04,970
with this program and

9195
05:46:06,000 --> 05:46:06,250
we're very thankful for what

9196
05:46:09,220 --> 05:46:09,470
we've accomplished right now in

9197
05:46:10,700 --> 05:46:10,950
this program and we're thankful

9198
05:46:11,800 --> 05:46:12,050
for the support of you all again

9199
05:46:14,400 --> 05:46:14,650
as leaderships as well and again

9200
05:46:16,700 --> 05:46:16,950
we want to continue we want your

9201
05:46:18,480 --> 05:46:18,730
continued support again from us

9202
05:46:21,220 --> 05:46:21,470
that's all we're asking of

9203
05:46:22,220 --> 05:46:22,470
course to give you updates and

9204
05:46:23,320 --> 05:46:23,570
again your support that's about

9205
05:46:24,580 --> 05:46:24,830
it so again we appreciate the

9206
05:46:26,520 --> 05:46:26,770
invitation and I hope again you

9207
05:46:28,840 --> 05:46:29,090
again you're satisfied with the

9208
05:46:30,340 --> 05:46:30,590
update and we're again we're

9209
05:46:32,080 --> 05:46:32,330
gonna continue to do our work

9210
05:46:33,680 --> 05:46:33,930
we appreciate the invitation.

9211
05:46:35,800 --> 05:46:36,050
thank you.

9212
05:46:37,360 --> 05:46:37,610
thank you and question

9213
05:46:41,240 --> 05:46:41,490
so our new member

9214
05:46:48,740 --> 05:46:48,990
I think for our new members

9215
05:46:50,200 --> 05:46:50,450
this has been something we've

9216
05:46:52,020 --> 05:46:52,270
worked on with Judge Yazley

9217
05:46:55,000 --> 05:46:55,250
to them coming forward with

9218
05:46:56,520 --> 05:46:56,770
Chanel and just really hearing

9219
05:46:59,240 --> 05:46:59,490
the program and how they

9220
05:47:01,140 --> 05:47:01,390
developed it to really meet the

9221
05:47:03,620 --> 05:47:03,870
needs of those that were I mean

9222
05:47:05,280 --> 05:47:05,530
there's some restrictions on it

9223
05:47:07,000 --> 05:47:07,250
because they knew like

9224
05:47:08,540 --> 05:47:08,790
how far away will they

9225
05:47:12,960 --> 05:47:13,210
that they weren't setting them

9226
05:47:14,640 --> 05:47:14,890
up for failure and all those

9227
05:47:16,640 --> 05:47:16,890
things

9228
05:47:19,340 --> 05:47:19,590
mention it but it was really

9229
05:47:22,100 --> 05:47:22,350
eye opening because some people

9230
05:47:24,620 --> 05:47:24,870
think oh we just

9231
05:47:26,100 --> 05:47:26,350
and I do have some questions

9232
05:47:27,700 --> 05:47:27,950
that will lead us into certain

9233
05:47:30,060 --> 05:47:30,310
things but very grateful for

9234
05:47:33,140 --> 05:47:33,390
for that development and all

9235
05:47:34,900 --> 05:47:35,150
those considerations given

9236
05:47:39,600 --> 05:47:39,850
you said set them up for failure

9237
05:47:40,860 --> 05:47:41,110
in some sense it was really

9238
05:47:42,340 --> 05:47:42,590
about getting them through and

9239
05:47:44,360 --> 05:47:44,610
really

9240
05:47:50,043 --> 05:47:50,293
Through the programpresentative

9241
05:47:50,720 --> 05:47:50,970
Garcia

9242
05:47:57,220 --> 05:47:57,470
my question is in regards to

9243
05:47:59,300 --> 05:47:59,550
your pamphlet says that you

9244
05:48:02,580 --> 05:48:02,830
must be a resident of new

9245
05:48:03,880 --> 05:48:04,130
McKinley County.

9246
05:48:07,620 --> 05:48:07,870
and

9247
05:48:08,260 --> 05:48:08,510
I'm not sure which court it was

9248
05:48:12,060 --> 05:48:12,310
but

9249
05:48:12,700 --> 05:48:12,950
this past week I got a notice

9250
05:48:16,120 --> 05:48:16,370
from a young lady not wanting a

9251
05:48:18,240 --> 05:48:18,490
letter stating that

9252
05:48:20,340 --> 05:48:20,590
I guess the probation officer

9253
05:48:23,600 --> 05:48:23,850
wanted

9254
05:48:24,040 --> 05:48:24,290
a letter fromRaymond Apo chapter

9255
05:48:27,860 --> 05:48:28,110
to allow them to come on to our

9256
05:48:30,940 --> 05:48:31,190
community to visit the lady

9257
05:48:33,500 --> 05:48:33,750
week on a weekly basis and maybe

9258
05:48:36,120 --> 05:48:36,370
even two times a week and

9259
05:48:39,980 --> 05:48:40,230
she said that the judge that

9260
05:48:42,440 --> 05:48:42,690
made the made the order and

9261
05:48:45,580 --> 05:48:45,830
gave it to the probation officer

9262
05:48:48,340 --> 05:48:48,590
whatever communication that

9263
05:48:50,140 --> 05:48:50,390
was made was not clearly

9264
05:48:53,120 --> 05:48:53,370
explained to her except that

9265
05:48:56,840 --> 05:48:57,090
you're not you are now on

9266
05:48:58,040 --> 05:48:58,290
probation and therefore you will

9267
05:49:00,740 --> 05:49:00,990
be coming in but since she lives

9268
05:49:03,500 --> 05:49:03,750
inibla County they said

9269
05:49:05,480 --> 05:49:05,730
the probation officer will be

9270
05:49:07,560 --> 05:49:07,810
going out there to visit

9271
05:49:10,040 --> 05:49:10,290
with her and

9272
05:49:11,420 --> 05:49:11,670
she wanted to know if it was

9273
05:49:14,260 --> 05:49:14,510
possible to have someone

9274
05:49:17,920 --> 05:49:18,170
fromiblela County as a probation

9275
05:49:19,080 --> 05:49:19,330
officer to come out because that

9276
05:49:20,760 --> 05:49:21,010
would be closer for her or for

9277
05:49:23,180 --> 05:49:23,430
her to go in and visit or for

9278
05:49:24,800 --> 05:49:25,050
that person to come and visit

9279
05:49:26,280 --> 05:49:26,530
her so that was a situation I

9280
05:49:28,740 --> 05:49:28,990
came upon this past week and I

9281
05:49:30,420 --> 05:49:30,670
did write a letter saying that

9282
05:49:31,800 --> 05:49:32,050
it was ok for the probation

9283
05:49:34,620 --> 05:49:34,870
officer to becoming and be

9284
05:49:36,720 --> 05:49:36,970
visiting with her but beyond

9285
05:49:38,980 --> 05:49:39,230
that that was the question that

9286
05:49:40,400 --> 05:49:40,650
she had asked

9287
05:49:41,700 --> 05:49:41,950
could you said

9288
05:49:44,656 --> 05:49:44,906
the judge

9289
05:49:48,320 --> 05:49:48,570
but she wants to transfer to

9290
05:49:49,840 --> 05:49:50,090
McKinley County probably it's

9291
05:49:53,040 --> 05:49:53,290
from McKinleyelunty judge

9292
05:49:53,440 --> 05:49:53,690
and the probation officers in is

9293
05:49:57,760 --> 05:49:58,010
in Mcinley County. Now she wants

9294
05:49:59,180 --> 05:49:59,430
to know if she could have the

9295
05:50:00,460 --> 05:50:00,710
probation officer fromiela

9296
05:50:02,360 --> 05:50:02,610
County come out because that was

9297
05:50:03,760 --> 05:50:04,010
closer.

9298
05:50:05,920 --> 05:50:06,170
thank youpresentative Garcia

9299
05:50:08,640 --> 05:50:08,890
again probation we don't

9300
05:50:11,180 --> 05:50:11,430
controlled with probation again

9301
05:50:13,360 --> 05:50:13,610
first of all we don't have

9302
05:50:14,380 --> 05:50:14,630
jurisdiction inRama because

9303
05:50:15,820 --> 05:50:16,070
again that's a Navajo nation and

9304
05:50:17,920 --> 05:50:18,170
that's what we always address is

9305
05:50:21,840 --> 05:50:22,090
the issue again again cross

9306
05:50:23,760 --> 05:50:24,010
jurisdiction in order for us to

9307
05:50:26,180 --> 05:50:26,430
cross over to the reservation we

9308
05:50:28,880 --> 05:50:29,130
need to get an MOU from the

9309
05:50:31,200 --> 05:50:31,450
nation so we're still working on

9310
05:50:33,020 --> 05:50:33,270
again getting that approval from

9311
05:50:35,280 --> 05:50:35,530
the nation but as for probation

9312
05:50:37,600 --> 05:50:37,850
that's a probation question

9313
05:50:39,060 --> 05:50:39,310
again for whoever that that

9314
05:50:41,520 --> 05:50:41,770
individual would be would need

9315
05:50:42,840 --> 05:50:43,090
to get approval from McKinley

9316
05:50:44,020 --> 05:50:44,270
County probation.

9317
05:50:44,780 --> 05:50:45,030
and from there they can work

9318
05:50:47,500 --> 05:50:47,750
with one another to transfer to

9319
05:50:49,520 --> 05:50:49,770
Sabula County but that's out of

9320
05:50:50,840 --> 05:50:51,090
my again that's out of my hands

9321
05:50:52,760 --> 05:50:53,010
that's probation

9322
05:50:53,180 --> 05:50:53,430
as for your other question the

9323
05:50:56,860 --> 05:50:57,110
order by a judge again I don't

9324
05:50:58,180 --> 05:50:58,430
know who the judge is I don't

9325
05:51:00,260 --> 05:51:00,510
yeah I don't do

9326
05:51:01,340 --> 05:51:01,590
I I I know where I stand and I

9327
05:51:04,120 --> 05:51:04,370
know I don't I don't try to

9328
05:51:05,400 --> 05:51:05,650
cross those boundaries as well

9329
05:51:06,860 --> 05:51:07,110
so I know where my jurisdiction

9330
05:51:08,780 --> 05:51:09,030
lies and it's not on the

9331
05:51:11,280 --> 05:51:11,530
reservation right now even

9332
05:51:12,980 --> 05:51:13,230
though I live on the reservation

9333
05:51:14,500 --> 05:51:14,750
so but with that being said

9334
05:51:17,900 --> 05:51:18,150
and then your question regarding

9335
05:51:19,960 --> 05:51:20,210
the pamphlet indicating

9336
05:51:21,780 --> 05:51:22,030
McKinley County residents that's

9337
05:51:23,420 --> 05:51:23,670
a typogain it's anyone who

9338
05:51:26,340 --> 05:51:26,590
receives an infraction within

9339
05:51:28,440 --> 05:51:28,690
McKinney County because we have

9340
05:51:29,360 --> 05:51:29,610
individuals from arizona I

9341
05:51:31,920 --> 05:51:32,170
think we have one

9342
05:51:32,740 --> 05:51:32,990
that comes in from Arizona fort

9343
05:51:35,200 --> 05:51:35,450
defiance to take part in our

9344
05:51:37,040 --> 05:51:37,290
program. It's a 40 mile radius

9345
05:51:39,240 --> 05:51:39,490
is what we're again who we

9346
05:51:42,360 --> 05:51:42,610
try to get into our program

9347
05:51:44,840 --> 05:51:45,090
because everyone outside the

9348
05:51:46,700 --> 05:51:46,950
outskirts of40 miles we're

9349
05:51:48,700 --> 05:51:48,950
setting them up for failure

9350
05:51:49,800 --> 05:51:50,050
because we know transportation

9351
05:51:51,360 --> 05:51:51,610
is an issue here in McKinley

9352
05:51:54,040 --> 05:51:54,290
County because again the poverty

9353
05:51:55,720 --> 05:51:55,970
rate again we we take that into

9354
05:51:57,700 --> 05:51:57,950
consideration as well so we try

9355
05:52:00,200 --> 05:52:00,450
to only take individuals who we

9356
05:52:02,180 --> 05:52:02,430
think can

9357
05:52:02,940 --> 05:52:03,190
complete the program and be s

9358
05:52:06,160 --> 05:52:06,410
successful although we want to

9359
05:52:07,600 --> 05:52:07,850
reach everybody out there it's

9360
05:52:10,020 --> 05:52:10,270
kind of we don't want to set

9361
05:52:10,980 --> 05:52:11,230
them up for failure where

9362
05:52:12,260 --> 05:52:12,510
there's a lot of things we take

9363
05:52:13,540 --> 05:52:13,790
into consideration in

9364
05:52:14,780 --> 05:52:15,030
transportation is one of them

9365
05:52:16,280 --> 05:52:16,530
and again there are other

9366
05:52:18,540 --> 05:52:18,790
factors we also take into

9367
05:52:19,940 --> 05:52:20,190
consideration they can't be they

9368
05:52:21,700 --> 05:52:21,950
can't have violent offenses as

9369
05:52:23,200 --> 05:52:23,450
well they can't have a felony

9370
05:52:24,920 --> 05:52:25,170
and again we only address 2nd

9371
05:52:28,520 --> 05:52:28,770
and 3rd offense DWIs so again

9372
05:52:29,960 --> 05:52:30,210
thank you for that question

9373
05:52:30,840 --> 05:52:31,090
madam Garcia.

9374
05:52:31,680 --> 05:52:31,930
madam chairir thank you too

9375
05:52:36,100 --> 05:52:36,350
for that answer we are about

9376
05:52:38,820 --> 05:52:39,070
oh

9377
05:52:39,460 --> 05:52:39,710
to the chapter it's about 60

9378
05:52:41,640 --> 05:52:41,890
miles so I think we're outside

9379
05:52:44,540 --> 05:52:44,790
of that 60 or40 mile but

9380
05:52:48,140 --> 05:52:48,390
transportation would be an issue

9381
05:52:50,700 --> 05:52:50,950
for her

9382
05:52:51,240 --> 05:52:51,490
she was wonderering the streets

9383
05:52:53,400 --> 05:52:53,650
over here and got caught for DWi

9384
05:52:56,340 --> 05:52:56,590
and that that was the reason why

9385
05:52:58,980 --> 05:52:59,230
she said that she had to get

9386
05:53:01,680 --> 05:53:01,930
on probation with I don't know

9387
05:53:03,920 --> 05:53:04,170
which court it was I didn't get

9388
05:53:05,920 --> 05:53:06,170
all that information

9389
05:53:06,760 --> 05:53:07,010
so all I did was write the

9390
05:53:09,780 --> 05:53:10,030
letter to the probation officer.

9391
05:53:11,740 --> 05:53:11,990
OK, thank you.

9392
05:53:12,260 --> 05:53:12,510
thank youpresentative

9393
05:53:14,520 --> 05:53:14,770
Representative Johnson.

9394
05:53:16,080 --> 05:53:16,330
thank you madam chair

9395
05:53:18,660 --> 05:53:18,910
my question is, I guess it would

9396
05:53:23,740 --> 05:53:23,990
be depending

9397
05:53:26,940 --> 05:53:27,190
participants or a number of

9398
05:53:28,640 --> 05:53:28,890
workload, but what is the wait

9399
05:53:31,260 --> 05:53:31,510
time or the service timeline

9400
05:53:33,100 --> 05:53:33,350
for an individual to have

9401
05:53:38,300 --> 05:53:38,550
outpatient treatment or

9402
05:53:40,160 --> 05:53:40,410
treatment

9403
05:53:43,172 --> 05:53:43,422
DWI

9404
05:53:48,860 --> 05:53:49,110
After littleBI once they oh

9405
05:53:50,280 --> 05:53:50,530
sorry madam chair or

9406
05:53:53,360 --> 05:53:53,610
madampresentative Johnson thank

9407
05:53:54,380 --> 05:53:54,630
you for that question the

9408
05:53:56,300 --> 05:53:56,550
timeline again once we

9409
05:53:58,840 --> 05:53:59,090
if they want to be a part of the

9410
05:54:01,280 --> 05:54:01,530
DWI treatment program and

9411
05:54:02,720 --> 05:54:02,970
referred to the because a lot of

9412
05:54:04,340 --> 05:54:04,590
people want to avoid the

9413
05:54:05,740 --> 05:54:05,990
thirtyday jail sentence or the40

9414
05:54:07,680 --> 05:54:07,930
mandatory jail term so they want

9415
05:54:09,960 --> 05:54:10,210
to stay out of jail they'll

9416
05:54:11,320 --> 05:54:11,570
request a see if they can

9417
05:54:12,940 --> 05:54:13,190
they're eligible for our our

9418
05:54:14,160 --> 05:54:14,410
treatment program

9419
05:54:15,300 --> 05:54:15,550
so what we do is right when

9420
05:54:19,020 --> 05:54:19,270
we're about to sentence an

9421
05:54:20,280 --> 05:54:20,530
individual or what when I'm

9422
05:54:21,580 --> 05:54:21,830
about to sentence an individual

9423
05:54:22,920 --> 05:54:23,170
I send them to Danielle she

9424
05:54:25,600 --> 05:54:25,850
again assesses them she keeps

9425
05:54:27,420 --> 05:54:27,670
completes their assessment

9426
05:54:29,260 --> 05:54:29,510
oncece she knows that if there

9427
05:54:30,540 --> 05:54:30,790
again once we know that they're

9428
05:54:31,920 --> 05:54:32,170
eligible then I'll sentence them

9429
05:54:33,760 --> 05:54:34,010
to the program and from there

9430
05:54:35,800 --> 05:54:36,050
Danielle does the legwork and

9431
05:54:37,480 --> 05:54:37,730
she'll tell you what she does

9432
05:54:38,440 --> 05:54:38,690
after that go ahead Danielle

9433
05:54:39,740 --> 05:54:39,990
thank you judgedge Ezzie so

9434
05:54:42,460 --> 05:54:42,710
as Judge aszzie said

9435
05:54:43,520 --> 05:54:43,770
they'll she'll contact me to

9436
05:54:47,420 --> 05:54:47,670
do a what's called a screening

9437
05:54:48,860 --> 05:54:49,110
I think with our current

9438
05:54:51,800 --> 05:54:52,050
participants the majority of

9439
05:54:53,240 --> 05:54:53,490
them were either there in person

9440
05:54:55,620 --> 05:54:55,870
where it was convenient for me

9441
05:54:57,120 --> 05:54:57,370
to just step out of my office

9442
05:54:58,320 --> 05:54:58,570
and I screen them right, you

9443
05:55:00,500 --> 05:55:00,750
know right then and there.

9444
05:55:01,420 --> 05:55:01,670
and I was able to report back to

9445
05:55:03,900 --> 05:55:04,150
the court immediately whether

9446
05:55:05,000 --> 05:55:05,250
they were eligible or not. we

9447
05:55:08,640 --> 05:55:08,890
use what is called the DY rant

9448
05:55:11,640 --> 05:55:11,890
and I'm sorry I wish I wish I

9449
05:55:13,960 --> 05:55:14,210
could tell you what those what

9450
05:55:14,780 --> 05:55:15,030
those acronyms are for but the

9451
05:55:16,200 --> 05:55:16,450
the screener is called the

9452
05:55:17,640 --> 05:55:17,890
DUI rant and it gauges the level

9453
05:55:21,560 --> 05:55:21,810
of risk as well as the need

9454
05:55:24,140 --> 05:55:24,390
for treatment so what we call

9455
05:55:26,161 --> 05:55:26,411
highris high need. Highri

9456
05:55:28,320 --> 05:55:28,570
meaning they are at a high risk

9457
05:55:29,900 --> 05:55:30,150
of reoffending. high need

9458
05:55:32,220 --> 05:55:32,470
meaning that they have a

9459
05:55:33,400 --> 05:55:33,650
moderate to severe substance use

9460
05:55:35,520 --> 05:55:35,770
issue. Substance also including

9461
05:55:37,400 --> 05:55:37,650
alcohol so as judge said I

9462
05:55:39,700 --> 05:55:39,950
will screen them once they

9463
05:55:41,640 --> 05:55:41,890
qualify I

9464
05:55:42,340 --> 05:55:42,590
let the courts know and she

9465
05:55:44,440 --> 05:55:44,690
proceeds with sentencing after

9466
05:55:46,380 --> 05:55:46,630
they are sentenced, they come

9467
05:55:47,620 --> 05:55:47,870
and see me immediately at

9468
05:55:49,880 --> 05:55:50,130
which time I scheduled their

9469
05:55:51,500 --> 05:55:51,750
induction into the program and

9470
05:55:53,480 --> 05:55:53,730
they are also sent to our

9471
05:55:55,120 --> 05:55:55,370
treatment

9472
05:55:56,260 --> 05:55:56,510
treatment agency which was Santa

9473
05:55:59,620 --> 05:55:59,870
Ferecovery at the time so they

9474
05:56:00,900 --> 05:56:01,150
would be sent to Santa Fe

9475
05:56:01,960 --> 05:56:02,210
recovery to schedule an intake

9476
05:56:03,780 --> 05:56:04,030
with their treatment providers

9477
05:56:05,300 --> 05:56:05,550
get all of their screenings and

9478
05:56:07,360 --> 05:56:07,610
assessments done and it is

9479
05:56:09,200 --> 05:56:09,450
within our contract with our

9480
05:56:10,960 --> 05:56:11,210
treatment providers that are

9481
05:56:12,600 --> 05:56:12,850
participants be expedited

9482
05:56:15,140 --> 05:56:15,390
that their services be expedited

9483
05:56:16,800 --> 05:56:17,050
so it is within the contract

9484
05:56:18,560 --> 05:56:18,810
that from the date of referral

9485
05:56:20,840 --> 05:56:21,090
with the treatment providers

9486
05:56:23,140 --> 05:56:23,390
they have5 business days to get

9487
05:56:25,480 --> 05:56:25,730
them assessed and get

9488
05:56:26,660 --> 05:56:26,910
them into treatment so to answer

9489
05:56:29,140 --> 05:56:29,390
your question it would be

9490
05:56:30,380 --> 05:56:30,630
roughly a five business day

9491
05:56:32,120 --> 05:56:32,370
wait. OK after induction. not

9492
05:56:34,560 --> 05:56:34,810
after sentencing but after

9493
05:56:35,820 --> 05:56:36,070
induction. yeah usually you know

9494
05:56:37,520 --> 05:56:37,770
after sentencing but if you you

9495
05:56:38,860 --> 05:56:39,110
count the weekends and whatnot.

9496
05:56:39,860 --> 05:56:40,110
so we get them in right away

9497
05:56:41,880 --> 05:56:42,130
and

9498
05:56:42,540 --> 05:56:42,790
and the so we get them in

9499
05:56:45,920 --> 05:56:46,170
with the treatment providers

9500
05:56:46,880 --> 05:56:47,130
right away. they more than

9501
05:56:49,540 --> 05:56:49,790
likely are also placed on an

9502
05:56:51,560 --> 05:56:51,810
alcohol monitoring device so

9503
05:56:53,420 --> 05:56:53,670
just to we we start that

9504
05:56:54,980 --> 05:56:55,230
sobriety the day of you know so

9505
05:56:57,080 --> 05:56:57,330
really encouraging but we

9506
05:56:58,920 --> 05:56:59,170
also know that you know it's

9507
05:57:00,800 --> 05:57:01,050
it's difficult. not all of our

9508
05:57:01,880 --> 05:57:02,130
participants come in with

9509
05:57:03,720 --> 05:57:03,970
complete sobriety. some of them

9510
05:57:05,500 --> 05:57:05,750
have stopped drinking after the

9511
05:57:07,140 --> 05:57:07,390
incident after their arrest and

9512
05:57:09,120 --> 05:57:09,370
just waiting to go to

9513
05:57:10,420 --> 05:57:10,670
sentencing it is part of their

9514
05:57:11,880 --> 05:57:12,130
conditions of release as well to

9515
05:57:13,500 --> 05:57:13,750
not

9516
05:57:13,780 --> 05:57:14,030
to abstain from alcohol. So

9517
05:57:15,360 --> 05:57:15,610
some of them do come in with

9518
05:57:16,880 --> 05:57:17,130
some sobriety. and there's

9519
05:57:18,920 --> 05:57:19,170
also others that come in and

9520
05:57:21,020 --> 05:57:21,270
it's day one of sobriety for

9521
05:57:22,660 --> 05:57:22,910
them so we are we're working

9522
05:57:24,220 --> 05:57:24,470
from you know from the bottom

9523
05:57:26,400 --> 05:57:26,650
and working up and just

9524
05:57:27,860 --> 05:57:28,110
encouraging them to to maintain

9525
05:57:30,140 --> 05:57:30,390
that sobriety for the first

9526
05:57:31,540 --> 05:57:31,790
couple of days for the first

9527
05:57:32,660 --> 05:57:32,910
couple of weeks you know and

9528
05:57:33,640 --> 05:57:33,890
then so forth but yes it it's a

9529
05:57:35,580 --> 05:57:35,830
very short wait for our

9530
05:57:37,080 --> 05:57:37,330
treatment intake.

9531
05:57:46,900 --> 05:57:47,150
the five days who said that

9532
05:57:50,020 --> 05:57:50,270
to say this is you got to do

9533
05:57:54,660 --> 05:57:54,910
this within5 days it's on the

9534
05:57:56,820 --> 05:57:57,070
within the contract yeah within

9535
05:57:58,900 --> 05:57:59,150
our contract they have to get

9536
05:58:00,460 --> 05:58:00,710
into treatment and then from

9537
05:58:02,040 --> 05:58:02,290
there yes just as as again

9538
05:58:03,920 --> 05:58:04,170
Mleaketty mentioned it's

9539
05:58:04,580 --> 05:58:04,830
difficult some some of them is

9540
05:58:06,020 --> 05:58:06,270
day one but with the scram

9541
05:58:08,260 --> 05:58:08,510
bracelet we continue to monitor

9542
05:58:09,520 --> 05:58:09,770
them and we know return to use

9543
05:58:12,480 --> 05:58:12,730
is gonna be again it's gonna be

9544
05:58:14,660 --> 05:58:14,910
a continued issue until they

9545
05:58:17,280 --> 05:58:17,530
have to be in sobriety for 90

9546
05:58:19,220 --> 05:58:19,470
days for them to face to the

9547
05:58:20,720 --> 05:58:20,970
next phase so if they

9548
05:58:22,440 --> 05:58:22,690
continue to use again I have

9549
05:58:24,040 --> 05:58:24,290
again just like I said the

9550
05:58:25,380 --> 05:58:25,630
gentleman I've had two gentlemen

9551
05:58:26,920 --> 05:58:27,170
who again

9552
05:58:27,860 --> 05:58:28,110
continue to use weekly weekly

9553
05:58:30,740 --> 05:58:30,990
and again we kept addressing

9554
05:58:32,900 --> 05:58:33,150
them addressing them finally I

9555
05:58:35,460 --> 05:58:35,710
don't know I don't know if they

9556
05:58:36,900 --> 05:58:37,150
had an epiphany but again they

9557
05:58:39,360 --> 05:58:39,610
came back on the right track

9558
05:58:40,600 --> 05:58:40,850
again and we have another

9559
05:58:42,100 --> 05:58:42,350
individual who's like Mr

9560
05:58:43,420 --> 05:58:43,670
Castillo who was fighting the

9561
05:58:45,720 --> 05:58:45,970
court constantly intoxicated

9562
05:58:48,780 --> 05:58:49,030
coming to court and we tell them

9563
05:58:49,500 --> 05:58:49,750
no you need to leave that's a

9564
05:58:51,040 --> 05:58:51,290
trigger for our participants we

9565
05:58:52,700 --> 05:58:52,950
cannot have you here so we

9566
05:58:54,660 --> 05:58:54,910
again make him leave our session

9567
05:58:57,600 --> 05:58:57,850
but we bring him back to address

9568
05:59:00,680 --> 05:59:00,930
him tell him this is not going

9569
05:59:02,220 --> 05:59:02,470
to be a continued issue. We

9570
05:59:04,040 --> 05:59:04,290
increase his treatment again we

9571
05:59:06,440 --> 05:59:06,690
sent him back for a reassessment

9572
05:59:07,620 --> 05:59:07,870
what is going on what trauma,

9573
05:59:09,440 --> 05:59:09,690
what is why are you continuing

9574
05:59:10,880 --> 05:59:11,130
to reuse return to use so

9575
05:59:13,760 --> 05:59:14,010
we finally got it situated. He's

9576
05:59:17,220 --> 05:59:17,470
on the right track. he's going

9577
05:59:19,860 --> 05:59:20,110
back to school

9578
05:59:21,000 --> 05:59:21,250
and he knows what

9579
05:59:24,600 --> 05:59:24,850
So the device what did you call

9580
05:59:27,380 --> 05:59:27,630
it a scram bracelet scram

9581
05:59:28,960 --> 05:59:29,210
bracelet? It detects alcohol

9582
05:59:30,340 --> 05:59:30,590
through their skin

9583
05:59:31,460 --> 05:59:31,710
yeah

9584
05:59:32,191 --> 05:59:32,441
how much does that cost

9585
05:59:35,020 --> 05:59:35,270
for a device that is in the it's

9586
05:59:39,900 --> 05:59:40,150
in the for a device maybe it's

9587
05:59:42,260 --> 05:59:42,510
pretty expensive it's about it

9588
05:59:44,760 --> 05:59:45,010
depends on how many we have

9589
05:59:47,220 --> 05:59:47,470
monitored but I I would like

9590
05:59:50,240 --> 05:59:50,490
to say ballpark anywhere

9591
05:59:54,040 --> 05:59:54,290
from1000 to1,500 you know per

9592
05:59:55,300 --> 05:59:55,550
month. So I am exploring other

9593
05:59:57,200 --> 05:59:57,450
options we've been to some

9594
05:59:58,220 --> 05:59:58,470
conferences recently where they

9595
06:00:00,480 --> 06:00:00,730
are actually that technology is

9596
06:00:02,580 --> 06:00:02,830
advancing as well we have

9597
06:00:04,940 --> 06:00:05,190
well some companies have

9598
06:00:06,300 --> 06:00:06,550
GPS trackers and alcohol

9599
06:00:08,680 --> 06:00:08,930
monitors that are about the size

9600
06:00:10,680 --> 06:00:10,930
of the Apple watches or like the

9601
06:00:12,540 --> 06:00:12,790
android watches so very much

9602
06:00:14,600 --> 06:00:14,850
more convenient rather than a

9603
06:00:16,040 --> 06:00:16,290
big device probably as as big as

9604
06:00:18,440 --> 06:00:18,690
my phone you know strapped to

9605
06:00:20,220 --> 06:00:20,470
your leg so the scram bracelet

9606
06:00:22,620 --> 06:00:22,870
it as judge said it detects

9607
06:00:24,200 --> 06:00:24,450
alcohol by taking a sample of

9608
06:00:27,200 --> 06:00:27,450
your pores from the sweat from

9609
06:00:28,600 --> 06:00:28,850
your pores so there's a screen

9610
06:00:29,900 --> 06:00:30,150
on the device that has to stay

9611
06:00:31,180 --> 06:00:31,430
in close contact with the skin

9612
06:00:33,620 --> 06:00:33,870
and then we also have to be

9613
06:00:34,920 --> 06:00:35,170
mindful and tell our

9614
06:00:35,960 --> 06:00:36,210
participants

9615
06:00:36,540 --> 06:00:36,790
don't be using any products

9616
06:00:39,000 --> 06:00:39,250
that contain alcohol and that

9617
06:00:40,680 --> 06:00:40,930
could be cologne and body spray.

9618
06:00:43,000 --> 06:00:43,250
so they start to learn you know

9619
06:00:44,960 --> 06:00:45,210
all the different stuff that we

9620
06:00:47,120 --> 06:00:47,370
use everyday that contains

9621
06:00:48,480 --> 06:00:48,730
alcohol and it's a it's a it's

9622
06:00:50,260 --> 06:00:50,510
an eye opener but to answer your

9623
06:00:52,760 --> 06:00:53,010
other question as far as that

9624
06:00:53,960 --> 06:00:54,210
requirement of the five days, I

9625
06:00:55,640 --> 06:00:55,890
believe that comes from the New

9626
06:00:56,599 --> 06:00:56,849
Mexicoreatment court standards.

9627
06:01:07,510 --> 06:01:07,760
making them wait I again I do

9628
06:01:09,830 --> 06:01:10,080
want to mention we do we did

9629
06:01:12,010 --> 06:01:12,260
have a delay for one of our

9630
06:01:13,510 --> 06:01:13,760
veterans again we had two

9631
06:01:14,990 --> 06:01:15,240
veterans one graduated again he

9632
06:01:17,150 --> 06:01:17,400
successfully working again

9633
06:01:20,030 --> 06:01:20,280
but we have one veteran again

9634
06:01:21,390 --> 06:01:21,640
who who does have PTI

9635
06:01:24,030 --> 06:01:24,280
again working with him was a

9636
06:01:28,790 --> 06:01:29,040
challenge but again we also

9637
06:01:32,870 --> 06:01:33,120
kept them in the program we he's

9638
06:01:35,550 --> 06:01:35,800
actually being successful right

9639
06:01:36,970 --> 06:01:37,220
now and he's being compliant

9640
06:01:38,930 --> 06:01:39,180
from the beginning he was again

9641
06:01:40,910 --> 06:01:41,160
returning to use and we sent him

9642
06:01:43,390 --> 06:01:43,640
to treatment we held them in

9643
06:01:45,850 --> 06:01:46,100
custody and we're waiting for

9644
06:01:47,830 --> 06:01:48,080
veterans to get back to us the

9645
06:01:49,710 --> 06:01:49,960
veterans program the VSo via the

9646
06:01:50,338 --> 06:01:50,588
BA

9647
06:01:54,990 --> 06:01:55,240
Danielle can share that with

9648
06:01:57,030 --> 06:01:57,280
you but again I would yeah it

9649
06:02:00,350 --> 06:02:00,600
would his his case was time

9650
06:02:00,830 --> 06:02:01,080
consuming only because we were

9651
06:02:02,250 --> 06:02:02,500
waiting for

9652
06:02:02,830 --> 06:02:03,080
the VO to get him into get

9653
06:02:07,170 --> 06:02:07,420
screened and find out if he can

9654
06:02:10,330 --> 06:02:10,580
take part in that treatment that

9655
06:02:12,030 --> 06:02:12,280
was the issue that we were

9656
06:02:13,050 --> 06:02:13,300
having so since then we've kind

9657
06:02:16,730 --> 06:02:16,980
of shied away from that and

9658
06:02:18,390 --> 06:02:18,640
we're kind of just utilizing our

9659
06:02:19,890 --> 06:02:20,140
own treatment provider but we

9660
06:02:21,530 --> 06:02:21,780
were trying to do what was best

9661
06:02:23,570 --> 06:02:23,820
for him

9662
06:02:24,010 --> 06:02:24,260
again and trying to send him

9663
06:02:25,430 --> 06:02:25,680
send him back to the VA to get

9664
06:02:27,530 --> 06:02:27,780
that treatment so he stays

9665
06:02:28,950 --> 06:02:29,200
within the program and they

9666
06:02:30,550 --> 06:02:30,800
report to us but again I'll let

9667
06:02:32,510 --> 06:02:32,760
Danielle share that that that

9668
06:02:33,890 --> 06:02:34,140
information with you

9669
06:02:36,650 --> 06:02:36,900
thank you Judgeyzzie. Yes, so we

9670
06:02:38,710 --> 06:02:38,960
do have as Joelzy said we've

9671
06:02:41,270 --> 06:02:41,520
had two veteran participants one

9672
06:02:43,070 --> 06:02:43,320
previously and one current.

9673
06:02:45,250 --> 06:02:45,500
this current veteran I've worked

9674
06:02:47,130 --> 06:02:47,380
with since compliance and again

9675
06:02:49,270 --> 06:02:49,520
he kind of followed me over so

9676
06:02:50,550 --> 06:02:50,800
I've seen him make tremendous

9677
06:02:53,410 --> 06:02:53,660
progress from an individual that

9678
06:02:55,650 --> 06:02:55,900
was very reserved very you

9679
06:02:58,550 --> 06:02:58,800
know not easily trusting of

9680
06:03:01,350 --> 06:03:01,600
everybody which is completely

9681
06:03:02,330 --> 06:03:02,580
understandable but very very

9682
06:03:03,750 --> 06:03:04,000
respectful, very very compliant.

9683
06:03:06,210 --> 06:03:06,460
this individual does have a lot

9684
06:03:07,970 --> 06:03:08,220
of trauma. we did get in

9685
06:03:09,910 --> 06:03:10,160
contact with veterans justice

9686
06:03:11,710 --> 06:03:11,960
outreach which is the VJO they

9687
06:03:14,270 --> 06:03:14,520
are the outreach component of

9688
06:03:16,710 --> 06:03:16,960
the veterans veteran system

9689
06:03:19,490 --> 06:03:19,740
to help justice involved

9690
06:03:21,550 --> 06:03:21,800
individuals. So making that

9691
06:03:23,450 --> 06:03:23,700
connection with the VJO also

9692
06:03:25,050 --> 06:03:25,300
opened up doors for compliance,

9693
06:03:26,790 --> 06:03:27,040
the compliance program as well

9694
06:03:28,430 --> 06:03:28,680
to know that these are resources

9695
06:03:30,270 --> 06:03:30,520
available for their clients as

9696
06:03:32,070 --> 06:03:32,320
well that are just on regular

9697
06:03:33,650 --> 06:03:33,900
misdemeanor probation. so our

9698
06:03:34,206 --> 06:03:34,456
partic

9699
06:03:36,790 --> 06:03:37,040
ip ant did receive services

9700
06:03:38,470 --> 06:03:38,720
after a while with the veterans

9701
06:03:39,330 --> 06:03:39,580
with with the veterans clinic

9702
06:03:42,870 --> 06:03:43,120
and was receiving individual

9703
06:03:45,530 --> 06:03:45,780
services as well as group

9704
06:03:47,870 --> 06:03:48,120
services however they were

9705
06:03:49,170 --> 06:03:49,420
virtual and we didn't really

9706
06:03:51,170 --> 06:03:51,420
feel that it was working

9707
06:03:52,130 --> 06:03:52,380
virtually. so we were able to

9708
06:03:54,430 --> 06:03:54,680
get him in with We song and

9709
06:03:56,810 --> 06:03:57,060
their clinical supervisor is

9710
06:03:58,390 --> 06:03:58,640
actually works with the

9711
06:04:01,790 --> 06:04:02,040
eterans department. I'm not sure

9712
06:04:03,210 --> 06:04:03,460
if he is a veteran himself. I I

9713
06:04:05,750 --> 06:04:06,000
believe he is

9714
06:04:06,950 --> 06:04:07,200
so that's that's helpful as

9715
06:04:08,890 --> 06:04:09,140
well. He also works with the VA

9716
06:04:10,410 --> 06:04:10,660
here in Gallup. so the VA is

9717
06:04:12,950 --> 06:04:13,200
very tricky to work with. they

9718
06:04:14,530 --> 06:04:14,780
will not talk to me. they will

9719
06:04:16,010 --> 06:04:16,260
not contact mething is through

9720
06:04:17,730 --> 06:04:17,980
the veteran so the veteran has

9721
06:04:19,390 --> 06:04:19,640
to be very accountable if I need

9722
06:04:21,490 --> 06:04:21,740
progress reports, I will have to

9723
06:04:22,890 --> 06:04:23,140
ask the veteran will you

9724
06:04:24,590 --> 06:04:24,840
contact your provider and get a

9725
06:04:25,990 --> 06:04:26,240
letter of your updates or your

9726
06:04:27,690 --> 06:04:27,940
status right now so he's he's

9727
06:04:29,750 --> 06:04:30,000
very compliant so he'll be able

9728
06:04:31,130 --> 06:04:31,380
to do that so this individual

9729
06:04:33,590 --> 06:04:33,840
is receiving services at Winsong

9730
06:04:36,790 --> 06:04:37,040
working with their veteran

9731
06:04:39,210 --> 06:04:39,460
clinical supervisor and he is

9732
06:04:41,690 --> 06:04:41,940
still also involved with the

9733
06:04:43,950 --> 06:04:44,200
veterans clinic out in

9734
06:04:44,510 --> 06:04:44,760
Albuquerque. He still meets with

9735
06:04:46,470 --> 06:04:46,720
his provider there and then

9736
06:04:48,990 --> 06:04:49,240
attends what's called a relapse

9737
06:04:50,550 --> 06:04:50,800
prevention group weekly. So he

9738
06:04:52,450 --> 06:04:52,700
keeps himself busy and

9739
06:04:54,350 --> 06:04:54,600
we also keep in contact with the

9740
06:04:57,070 --> 06:04:57,320
VA as well just you know making

9741
06:04:58,450 --> 06:04:58,700
sure that everybody is all on

9742
06:05:00,030 --> 06:05:00,280
the same page as far as his

9743
06:05:01,870 --> 06:05:02,120
progress in any updates that we

9744
06:05:03,630 --> 06:05:03,880
need.

9745
06:05:05,730 --> 06:05:05,980
but that's that's our

9746
06:05:06,810 --> 06:05:07,060
relationship working

9747
06:05:07,850 --> 06:05:08,100
relationship with the veterans

9748
06:05:09,610 --> 06:05:09,860
department as well and their

9749
06:05:11,250 --> 06:05:11,500
veteran justice outreach

9750
06:05:14,910 --> 06:05:15,160
but yes that that is and then

9751
06:05:17,170 --> 06:05:17,420
just don't like I said opening

9752
06:05:18,250 --> 06:05:18,500
up those doors what resources we

9753
06:05:19,730 --> 06:05:19,980
can get from the VJO and from

9754
06:05:21,250 --> 06:05:21,500
the veterans department. I

9755
06:05:23,170 --> 06:05:23,420
also share with compliance and

9756
06:05:24,970 --> 06:05:25,220
we've got a little what I call

9757
06:05:26,070 --> 06:05:26,320
resource board up there in the

9758
06:05:27,770 --> 06:05:28,020
courthouse that has

9759
06:05:28,870 --> 06:05:29,120
information such as

9760
06:05:30,930 --> 06:05:31,180
contact information for the

9761
06:05:33,770 --> 06:05:34,020
VJO any kind of treatment

9762
06:05:36,010 --> 06:05:36,260
services recovery support groups

9763
06:05:38,130 --> 06:05:38,380
whatever kind of resources I

9764
06:05:40,510 --> 06:05:40,760
can put up there for people that

9765
06:05:41,990 --> 06:05:42,240
are post adjudication

9766
06:05:44,910 --> 06:05:45,160
preadjudication whatever helps I

9767
06:05:45,730 --> 06:05:45,980
put it up there. The more

9768
06:05:46,830 --> 06:05:47,080
resources I can get out there

9769
06:05:48,310 --> 06:05:48,560
the better.

9770
06:05:49,350 --> 06:05:49,600
thank you and that with the

9771
06:05:52,010 --> 06:05:52,260
benefits because we don't have

9772
06:05:57,910 --> 06:05:58,160
No, there is no veterans court

9773
06:06:01,850 --> 06:06:02,100
currently.

9774
06:06:04,150 --> 06:06:04,400
so one of the things too I've

9775
06:06:05,990 --> 06:06:06,240
been not combined need to

9776
06:06:07,990 --> 06:06:08,240
explore is the

9777
06:06:15,510 --> 06:06:15,760
but I think it seemed to be a

9778
06:06:17,770 --> 06:06:18,020
lot more efficient as far as

9779
06:06:20,330 --> 06:06:20,580
making sure there was not

9780
06:06:21,250 --> 06:06:21,500
duplicate services and that you

9781
06:06:23,770 --> 06:06:24,020
did not have to

9782
06:06:24,610 --> 06:06:24,860
post it on your board but that

9783
06:06:27,750 --> 06:06:28,000
you put a referral out and then

9784
06:06:30,390 --> 06:06:30,640
whoever can meet the needs if

9785
06:06:32,610 --> 06:06:32,860
it's something that needs to be

9786
06:06:33,570 --> 06:06:33,820
immediate or something specific

9787
06:06:35,410 --> 06:06:35,660
or if it's a veteran that it

9788
06:06:38,290 --> 06:06:38,540
that's where it goes and they're

9789
06:06:40,090 --> 06:06:40,340
able to with that those

9790
06:06:42,430 --> 06:06:42,680
resources they're they're

9791
06:06:44,170 --> 06:06:44,420
contracted with us and they we

9792
06:06:46,750 --> 06:06:47,000
become the in some sense more

9793
06:06:47,870 --> 06:06:48,120
accountable to doing what they

9794
06:06:49,790 --> 06:06:50,040
need to do

9795
06:06:53,110 --> 06:06:53,360
don't know how I'm gonna move

9796
06:06:53,850 --> 06:06:54,100
that forwardda because it's we

9797
06:06:56,290 --> 06:06:56,540
got a lot going on here in New

9798
06:06:57,630 --> 06:06:57,880
Mexico

9799
06:07:00,110 --> 06:07:00,360
and I think that's the only

9800
06:07:01,390 --> 06:07:01,640
thing I think that's probably is

9801
06:07:03,270 --> 06:07:03,520
that the only

9802
06:07:04,350 --> 06:07:04,600
in a way barrier or something

9803
06:07:06,430 --> 06:07:06,680
that needs to be worked on is

9804
06:07:08,090 --> 06:07:08,340
with our veter

9805
06:07:17,850 --> 06:07:18,100
we're sorry I believe I believe

9806
06:07:18,150 --> 06:07:18,400
that was the only issue we had

9807
06:07:20,230 --> 06:07:20,480
again was getting our vet our

9808
06:07:21,250 --> 06:07:21,500
veteran into treatment again

9809
06:07:24,130 --> 06:07:24,380
services from BBJO or VSO

9810
06:07:28,030 --> 06:07:28,280
other than that again like I

9811
06:07:29,830 --> 06:07:30,080
said it was frustrating from the

9812
06:07:31,010 --> 06:07:31,260
beginning for him because again

9813
06:07:32,470 --> 06:07:32,720
I didn't want to keep him in

9814
06:07:33,830 --> 06:07:34,080
custody as well and we we kept

9815
06:07:36,070 --> 06:07:36,320
them in there for almost an

9816
06:07:37,010 --> 06:07:37,260
entire month just before he was

9817
06:07:39,270 --> 06:07:39,520
able to obtain some type of

9818
06:07:41,170 --> 06:07:41,420
service and before we were able

9819
06:07:42,470 --> 06:07:42,720
to release him

9820
06:07:44,370 --> 06:07:44,620
but in the end again he's

9821
06:07:46,170 --> 06:07:46,420
doing very well and he's

9822
06:07:47,810 --> 06:07:48,060
compliant like she said she he's

9823
06:07:49,590 --> 06:07:49,840
very respectful and

9824
06:07:51,810 --> 06:07:52,060
and of course the warden he

9825
06:07:53,630 --> 06:07:53,880
really respects the warden

9826
06:07:54,730 --> 06:07:54,980
because he's also a veteran as

9827
06:07:56,170 --> 06:07:56,420
well so our warden again was our

9828
06:07:58,670 --> 06:07:58,920
our program manager as well at

9829
06:08:00,410 --> 06:08:00,660
one point for McKinley County so

9830
06:08:02,690 --> 06:08:02,940
he knows the the the

9831
06:08:04,910 --> 06:08:05,160
participants so he can again

9832
06:08:08,170 --> 06:08:08,420
I guess encourage and mentor

9833
06:08:11,050 --> 06:08:11,300
again the participant as well so

9834
06:08:11,408 --> 06:08:11,658
it it's it's it's it's it was

9835
06:08:12,930 --> 06:08:13,180
it worked out for the best

9836
06:08:17,410 --> 06:08:17,660
because again the warden was

9837
06:08:19,050 --> 06:08:19,300
able to speak with our

9838
06:08:19,990 --> 06:08:20,240
participant and again that's how

9839
06:08:22,090 --> 06:08:22,340
he was able to maintain again as

9840
06:08:24,530 --> 06:08:24,780
well any traumas or any yeah

9841
06:08:28,610 --> 06:08:28,860
whatever

9842
06:08:28,950 --> 06:08:29,200
disorder he was going through

9843
06:08:31,210 --> 06:08:31,460
and don't I don't know how to

9844
06:08:32,170 --> 06:08:32,420
say it but yeah but yeah but in

9845
06:08:36,130 --> 06:08:36,380
the end

9846
06:08:37,510 --> 06:08:37,760
I don't believe we we don't we

9847
06:08:40,430 --> 06:08:40,680
haven't stumbled upon any any

9848
06:08:41,750 --> 06:08:42,000
barriers at this moment again of

9849
06:08:44,110 --> 06:08:44,360
course just the same issues

9850
06:08:45,910 --> 06:08:46,160
housing transportation for

9851
06:08:48,550 --> 06:08:48,800
our participants other than that

9852
06:08:50,110 --> 06:08:50,360
again just the same resources

9853
06:08:51,370 --> 06:08:51,620
that everybody else is having to

9854
06:08:53,430 --> 06:08:53,680
deal with where we're still

9855
06:08:56,170 --> 06:08:56,420
hinders our program but in the

9856
06:08:58,230 --> 06:08:58,480
end again I'm just thankful

9857
06:09:00,410 --> 06:09:00,660
again our DA it's now all for

9858
06:09:02,610 --> 06:09:02,860
treatment as well

9859
06:09:04,750 --> 06:09:05,000
again so again he's sending

9860
06:09:07,430 --> 06:09:07,680
again anyone who's again being

9861
06:09:10,410 --> 06:09:10,660
arrested for possession a

9862
06:09:12,570 --> 06:09:12,820
controlled substance into

9863
06:09:13,370 --> 06:09:13,620
treatment again that's a again

9864
06:09:13,922 --> 06:09:14,172
that's again beenn

9865
06:09:16,730 --> 06:09:16,980
very successful at some again in

9866
06:09:17,497 --> 06:09:17,747
some

9867
06:09:20,890 --> 06:09:21,140
at some point but again at the

9868
06:09:24,130 --> 06:09:24,380
same time you know that they

9869
06:09:25,790 --> 06:09:26,040
don't want to go into treatment

9870
06:09:26,490 --> 06:09:26,740
as well so it's it's kind of hit

9871
06:09:28,650 --> 06:09:28,900
or miss but um'm umjo Burnetts

9872
06:09:33,790 --> 06:09:34,040
and Mr Friedley again they've

9873
06:09:34,470 --> 06:09:34,720
been sending a lot of their per

9874
06:09:36,430 --> 06:09:36,680
our defendants into treatment as

9875
06:09:38,210 --> 06:09:38,460
well for anyone who was

9876
06:09:39,870 --> 06:09:40,120
charged with possession have any

9877
06:09:42,570 --> 06:09:42,820
type of substance and any the

9878
06:09:44,910 --> 06:09:45,160
diversion programs they're still

9879
06:09:46,410 --> 06:09:46,660
trying to work on it too and I'm

9880
06:09:47,950 --> 06:09:48,200
very grateful for that and I'm

9881
06:09:49,570 --> 06:09:49,820
hoping we continue to move in

9882
06:09:50,990 --> 06:09:51,240
that direction

9883
06:09:54,110 --> 06:09:54,360
you're funding's good because I

9884
06:09:54,990 --> 06:09:55,240
know we pump a lot of money into

9885
06:09:56,450 --> 06:09:56,700
the IOc this past and trying to

9886
06:09:58,930 --> 06:09:59,180
get de dedicated funding for

9887
06:10:03,300 --> 06:10:03,550
thank you for the work you do

9888
06:10:04,301 --> 06:10:04,551
but I do I think on a side

9889
06:10:14,444 --> 06:10:14,694
treatment providers after the

9890
06:10:15,111 --> 06:10:15,361
they they don't have to

9891
06:10:22,583 --> 06:10:22,833
our treatment providers are are

9892
06:10:23,317 --> 06:10:23,567
certified yes they're clinicians

9893
06:10:26,554 --> 06:10:26,804
so our our like I said our

9894
06:10:28,289 --> 06:10:28,539
clinical supervisor I believe is

9895
06:10:31,057 --> 06:10:31,307
in LMSW I believe licensed

9896
06:10:32,292 --> 06:10:32,542
mental social worker

9897
06:10:50,808 --> 06:10:51,058
that deat sobriety was necessary

9898
06:10:52,242 --> 06:10:52,492
as far as just

9899
06:10:58,414 --> 06:10:58,664
to mentor in that sense then I

9900
06:10:59,148 --> 06:10:59,398
also like to

9901
06:11:08,523 --> 06:11:08,773
sentencing to programs like this

9902
06:11:09,224 --> 06:11:09,474
I think that's a very

9903
06:11:10,424 --> 06:11:10,674
different kind of as far as

9904
06:11:20,400 --> 06:11:20,650
indigenous people but thank you

9905
06:11:21,067 --> 06:11:21,317
thank you for the work you

9906
06:11:24,369 --> 06:11:24,619
Welcome aboard and

9907
06:11:29,041 --> 06:11:29,291
and learned a lot is what I

9908
06:11:30,274 --> 06:11:30,524
understand and hopefully expand

9909
06:11:30,975 --> 06:11:31,225
it

9910
06:11:36,813 --> 06:11:37,063
we are looking into expanding

9911
06:11:38,782 --> 06:11:39,032
again we're looking at again

9912
06:11:40,517 --> 06:11:40,767
just as she mentioned the

9913
06:11:42,252 --> 06:11:42,502
holistic approach to healing to

9914
06:11:44,320 --> 06:11:44,570
wellness portion of it because

9915
06:11:46,322 --> 06:11:46,572
again apparently we don't we're

9916
06:11:48,324 --> 06:11:48,574
no longer a DWI program we're

9917
06:11:49,058 --> 06:11:49,308
now going to be transitioning to

9918
06:11:51,059 --> 06:11:51,309
healing and wellness so again

9919
06:11:54,562 --> 06:11:54,812
working with Ken and joanener

9920
06:11:56,264 --> 06:11:56,514
again utilizing the culture and

9921
06:11:58,332 --> 06:11:58,582
the traditions for the native

9922
06:12:00,300 --> 06:12:00,550
Americans who again want to find

9923
06:12:01,120 --> 06:12:01,370
their way back to our culture

9924
06:12:02,340 --> 06:12:02,590

9925
06:12:04,920 --> 06:12:05,170

there's constructions' going

all coming westbound and as soon

9958
06:13:30,650 --> 06:13:30,900
as the highways then you'd
