[1:52] Okay, here and then, all those in favor, signal aye. All those opposed? Motion carries.
[2:02] Now we're moving on to the meeting minute approval. The minutes shown in September 8, 2020, 6 minutes.
[2:21] You need a minute.
[2:22] Okay, so I have the motion by Mr. Workman. Do I have a second?
[2:24] I think.
[2:26] Second.

[2:37] Motion case.
[2:40] Now we're moving on to the consent agenda.
[2:42] Every little point in the roll voucher is from September 1st to the 15th.
[3:00] So two minutes to set agenda.
[3:02] That's pretty.
[3:03] Okay.
[3:03] I have a motion by Miss Alvarado.
[3:06] Could I have a second?
[3:07] Second.
[3:08] Second.
[3:08] Mr. Jamie,
[3:13] any discussion?
[3:15] Yeah, on a night-out thing, we're still under the work of 20, we're sorry.
[3:23] Looks like we've just spent about $900, not counting the city employees that we're
[3:28] proud to look there.
[3:31] The national media has their own money that they get donations from.
[3:35] The city doesn't pay for it.
[3:36] in that you do see it on AP, but it's because their money is in our account, but the city doesn't
[3:42] pay for national makeup. They get donations for national makeup. So they re-inverses this money
[3:49] is put out there. Yeah, it's true. Actually, if you look it's coded, it's coded on your national
[3:54] makeup, the money from national makeup. Yeah, supply and story. Yeah, okay. So we are on and on and on.
[4:03] We are spending a brief, but that has to have its own code in it, that's how it's
[4:07] on money.
[4:11] Anything else?
[4:13] I have a question.
[4:15] I really like to ask questions prior to a community prior to making a motion.
[4:21] And of course, because if we make a motion and then we approve, I know there's
[4:24] questions, but that doesn't make any changes, or unless we all know that.
[4:28] If it's a group, if it's a motion and a group, if it's a question, then there's going to be a changes.
[4:34] So I don't, this is for all of us to understand that or ask questions prior to, to, well, it doesn't get, it doesn't get a approach until we motion it.
[4:44] So, what we did, we motion it.
[4:45] Yeah.
[4:46] And so, after the discussions, if you, you're in this agreement of it, then you don't, you don't agree on it.
[4:52] But I mean, we can look into that.
[4:53] I've never, I mean, we haven't done it that way, but that doesn't have the great way to do things.
[4:57] because it kind of makes sense, right?
[5:00] It's not official to be voter until it's...
[5:05] Okay, any more discussion on the new session?
[5:07] Mayor.
[5:09] So, our attorney is having trouble with Zoom.
[5:11] She said, don't wait for her, but she's still trying to get in.
[5:14] I just want to let you know.
[5:15] Oh, okay.
[5:15] I didn't want to look at TV.
[5:18] I think hearing those questions, all those in favor,
[5:21] signal, hi, hi, hi, hi, hi, hi, hi.
[5:22] All those opposed?
[5:25] I'll see you again.
[5:29] Now we're moving on to public comment, public comment is limited in three minutes per person.
[5:33] The Council does not respond to questions, comments, or engage in discussion with speakers regarding comments.
[5:40] Anybody who wants to give public comments, but come up here and stay here in the United States?
[5:50] Mr. Maryland.
[5:53] Mr. Maryland Robinson.
[5:55] So I have a couple of steps to go ahead and I'm going to go up and talk about what I actually
[5:59] wanted to make an announcement invitation.
[6:01] I engaged in a wonderful turnance of vote project called C Love Act.
[6:07] And it has excellent voter education resources that will take the chance to finish.
[6:12] And it's a great signage.
[6:14] And if any of you know something you would like to help block the talents, get a better
[6:18] voting, turn up that we had in the past.
[6:22] Let me know.
[6:24] Thank you.
[6:25] Thank you.
[6:33] Anyone else?
[6:37] And public comment is now closed.
[6:39] Tonight, you have no old business, so we're moving on to new business, which is a
[6:44] progress estimate one well five treatment.
[6:48] So, he is not here, let's all take that.
[6:54] So, kind of you guys, this is the first set of funding that we'll pay for this.
[7:00] is the ARPA funding. That's a half a million dollar and max so it will cover all of this
[7:05] payment.
[7:08] So, this is pretty basic payment to the contractor. Now, I'll do this $2,000 or so they
[7:14] want $1,16, that's 52 cents. That's the amount to be deposited in a retainage of $13,000,
[7:26] $50.
[7:30] Three cents, and the tarry of $7,890, and two cents. So what I mean if I retain these is out of the fact, what can we get that reimbursement?
[7:43] We can't have $13,000 of life. $1,350 in three cents, and we set them on a side, teleproject, and it's gone through the final steps.
[7:52] And once the father just completed it and the city recognizes us complete it, then it will release that we can't.
[8:02] So is A and B the same thing or is A?
[8:08] Sorry, you want to vote because I just see the office estimate.
[8:11] And then we also have the archive.
[8:13] I think it should have been the other word, but that's what I can check.
[8:17] Okay, so we're only voting on B, not voting on A.
[8:20] We're voting on this part here.
[8:22] Okay, so.
[8:23] But not on me.
[8:27] Is anybody have questions?
[8:29] For that, I'm not progress as to make a wine and wealth life achievement.
[8:35] So it's all covered in arpe.
[8:37] This is the up and yet, I'm not going to answer.
[8:45] Okay.
[8:45] Here are your questions.
[8:47] Do I have a motion to a third progress as to make one wealth life achievement?
[8:53] I have a motion by Ms. Solis.
[8:54] Do I have a second?
[8:56] I have a second.
[8:57] I have a second.
[8:57] My Mr. Workman.
[9:01] All those in favor signal I.
[9:03] All right, all this is the first, most thing carries.
[9:09] So moving on to be where disregarding that,
[9:11] is that all along, you know what we need to do
[9:14] if vote on B. Okay, so if you want to, yeah.
[9:18] So what this is, this is different.
[9:20] This is a, a member to the contract with the Act of Law
[9:24] on the Art of Funds.
[9:26] You've heard me talk about this before,
[9:27] where I was getting concerned, because the Art of Funds
[9:31] of the bees that's scented by the end of the longest.
[9:34] So we went to them and asked them
[9:36] to four of the one-time extension.
[9:38] Our new deadline is the end of September,
[9:42] or actually the end of October, which we should have no problems
[9:46] with the end deadline to get all those funds suspended.
[9:51] Yeah, I'm going to go down and say amen.
[9:53] So basically all this is just a mandatory contract
[9:57] and giving us the additional time.
[10:01] Does anybody have questions on the amendment contract?
[10:10] What questions do I have in motion?
[10:12] Motion to prove.
[10:13] Motion from Mr. Jamie, do I have a second?
[10:16] I have a second.
[10:18] I have a second. My Mr. Workman.
[10:21] All those in favor, signal aye.
[10:24] All those opposed?
[10:27] Motion carries.
[10:29] Now we're going to be not to see which is the September and end of tolling agreement for our
[10:34] Lafakau WWE TF.
[10:39] How can you do it?
[10:42] You think you should have done that.
[10:44] She looks like she's doing it.
[10:45] She's doing it.
[10:46] She's doing it on.
[10:47] It's you.
[10:49] Are you going to talk about the tolling agreement?
[10:51] Where do you want me to go?
[10:52] The tolling agreement?
[10:54] Oh, yeah.
[10:55] This is just the, uh,
[10:59] the two of these to, uh,
[11:01] So, if you can hear our VPA results in the responsibility of my evaluation, the VPA,
[11:10] I'm going to sort of order and heard it now.
[11:12] We're looking on the part two of the program, which is the healthy combination and
[11:18] finalizing orders.
[11:20] So, we need to do a little additional time if that's what this program is going to do.
[11:26] So, does anyone have questions on the telling of the event to do anything?
[11:32] Thank you, Julie, do I have a motion?
[11:36] You wish it to approve?
[11:37] I have a motion on Mr. David, do I have a second?
[11:40] Excuse me.
[11:41] I have a second.
[11:42] Linda Solings.
[11:44] All those are favors, signal aye.
[11:45] All those of us.
[11:48] You have to know if you're just carries.
[11:52] Now we're moving on to the Justice Healthy Yakima.
[11:58] Okay.
[11:58] You can go back to the morning.
[12:00] We call it as a leader.
[12:01] I can't come in.
[12:04] Thank you for having me here.
[12:06] You're welcome.
[12:07] You know, my name is OK.
[12:08] I'm Jennifer Schwelsey.
[12:10] I'm a executive director for Justice Housing at Mom.
[12:13] I'd like to thank Pat for keeping me
[12:16] for coordinating us to be here.
[12:18] I just want to talk a little bit about what we're doing.
[12:24] And I'd like to call it from this part of housing light
[12:29] because I would give you a brief overview.
[12:31] And then you guys can ask questions.
[12:32] I will let the gentleman I have here introduce themselves so we have questions about
[12:37] our protective or any funding. I have that up here.
[12:42] So we are in our
[12:43] group of stages of conducting a feasibility study to see if we can bring some
[12:51] permanent support of housing to walk it up. So a little background information
[12:56] And just as Housing Yakima is a non-profit or small, I mean only employee, we currently
[13:03] have, for minutes of Board of Housing Yakima, we just have one development thus far, it
[13:09] was finished about a year and a half ago, it's called Cottage Hill Place, it's 16 units.
[13:18] And we are now looking to develop more for it's Board of Housing.
[13:23] Permit's part of housing is exactly what the name sounds like, so it's not a shelter.
[13:33] It's not transitional housing. Permit's supportive housing, our housing units, apartments, usually pretty small,
[13:43] for chronically homeless individuals and the housing is permanent.
[13:47] So residents, sign of lease, they have renters rights and responsibilities just as any other
[13:57] tenant would, that any other apartment or dueplex or home neighbor renting, they have rules
[14:04] they have to follow, there are codes of conduct, they do pay rent, the supportive word means that
[14:12] that they are, there's case management on site.
[14:17] So yes, you are housing almost individuals,
[14:24] but you're not just housing and believing them.
[14:26] They're not just left to their own device.
[14:28] The support side of it means that there's case management
[14:31] on site, the case management is typically
[14:33] a housing case manager.
[14:35] What we found at credit shelf place,
[14:38] as we have gone through the first year and a half
[14:41] housing individuals is that the housing case manager is really a really important component.
[14:49] There's also other services that we've brought on site. Mental health treatments and substance use disorder care
[14:57] coordination so that we can get
[15:00] That people to holistically improve their lives. Permits for the housing, we know we're not
[15:08] holiana about it. It is a model that is proven to work. I always say it's meant to be the last
[15:17] stop on the train. So individuals have been homeless. They may have been in a shelter, which
[15:24] know, they may have gone into transitional housing, those all have failed out points, and those
[15:31] aren't permanent, and those are revolving door, and then they're back on the street.
[15:36] Back on the street, they're sitting on the street corner, and you guys all know, it's very
[15:40] long-touch.
[15:42] Currents part of housing is really meant to stop that revolving door.
[15:45] That's their home.
[15:46] There's, they don't have to leave, there's not a point where they're told, do this by a certain
[15:54] time and then you have to go on, permanent supportive housing, it has a 85 to 90% success rate
[16:03] and that's not just me saying words that's actually true and proven.
[16:09] So for example, College of Place has 16 units, a small number, I know for the amount of homelessness
[16:16] individuals in Yakima. But after one year, 15 of those 16 original residents that moved in were
[16:27] still there. We have residents who have buying the treatment and come back and be able to work
[16:36] their program and stay sober because they have a home. We have residents who have gotten jobs,
[16:43] have residents who have made up their legal entanglements, the residents who have had
[16:49] daily green of the beach, but most importantly, our residents are still housed. They're
[16:55] not homeless anymore. They're not cycling in a not social services and EMS and being a
[17:05] drain on the system and a drain on taxpayer dollars, they're housed and so all of those
[17:10] I need things that happen when you're currently homeless from down.
[17:17] I can keep talking, but I know I should stop.
[17:21] I can keep going and going, and I'm sure that I've missed a lot.
[17:26] So I would like to open it up to questions, and I will also, as part of the feasibility study,
[17:32] we do have a building that we're looking at, and I would like to invite our architect to talk a little bit about that,
[17:39] But also, just for why I said over the last few minutes,
[17:43] you guys have any questions you can think of right out
[17:46] of that, what would you like to have more of a technical part?
[17:49] What would the rent be based on?
[17:51] That's a really good question.
[17:54] So if invariant support of housing,
[17:55] in which is, we have to follow RCW's,
[18:00] it is 30% of their income.
[18:03] So it's 30% of what they have a job, 30% of their benefits,
[18:08] 30% of their social security, and they pay, they pay, they pay, they pay, they pay, they are 30% and they have to pay it.
[18:16] Are you going to have, like, certainly, acquire risks?
[18:18] Are you going to be given eligible to, to live there?
[18:22] Yep, that's another really good question.
[18:24] So, permanent supportive housing residents are placed through the coordinate entry system.
[18:30] The coordinate entry system is a gap, not coordinate entry system.
[18:33] And it is, I always say, it's a list of, well, list of individuals here,
[18:37] list of housing here and it populates names. However, our feasibility study, I can have
[18:44] really open discussions with the county. Commissioner Curtis, his name focused if you
[18:50] curtains talk, is to try to get away with the shelters. Now shelters are a really
[18:56] important component of the homeless crisis response system. But housing is what this was
[19:05] So, I'm sorry, remind me of your, oh, the credit,
[19:09] so I've been working with the county on the feasibility study,
[19:12] and this is for a lot of time.
[19:15] So, we would be, when you are getting it from its part of housing,
[19:20] you are trying to be homeless and you have other disabilities
[19:23] that have paid their ability to stay currently housed.
[19:27] So, it's trying to be homeless and a measurable disability.
[19:32] But we are not bringing people from other towns in Tawapato to come live in Tawapato housing.
[19:39] I have been very specific with the county that the number of homeless individuals,
[19:45] really high in individuals in Tawapato, there's more than enough to fill the housing.
[19:50] The justice housing document would like to build in Tawapato that we are not
[19:56] busing people here from other areas of the county.
[20:01] This is for a lot of time.
[20:03] And your case management, I'm going to be able to refer,
[20:07] like for example, something you need some sort of treatment,
[20:10] or are they going to be there to follow on and make sure
[20:12] that they can extremely need?
[20:16] So the healthy case managers focus on,
[20:20] I've learned about this over the last year and a half with
[20:23] We thought, you know, that our biggest concern would be like breadbugs and it turns out the biggest concern is the people and they're the highest need.
[20:32] And so yes, the housing case managers really focus on the things that could lead someone to become un-house.
[20:39] So what I have done at Cottage Hill Place is add additional way or sub-services that do just that.
[20:47] So if someone needs to get a treatment, or someone needs to be seen by mental health provider
[20:53] and get on certain medications and then be followed so they see out those medications with
[20:58] this population, if you just tell them they're in a house and you tell them there's a
[21:03] business card that'll call this person, you know, they won't do it.
[21:06] But if you have people on site with a case manager or a care coordinator or a peer counselor,
[21:13] and they do a warm hand off so they're able to get them to those services whatever
[21:17] it takes.
[21:18] I mean, if you have to drive in there, if you have to walk in there, whatever it
[21:21] takes, yes, that's the most important component because I don't know how many individuals
[21:28] just in general could try to better out a life once they've been chronicly homeless and
[21:34] stick to it when they're still homeless.
[21:37] But when they have a home and they can work on those things, they can go to substance use
[21:41] or treatment, they can go address mental health needs,
[21:44] behavioral health needs, whatever it is,
[21:47] and they can come back to being in a home,
[21:50] they have a much higher success rate.
[21:53] You've got a presentation?
[21:56] We, Joe, but,
[22:01] I mean, I'm not trying to,
[22:03] I think that's a critical piece.
[22:05] It is.
[22:06] Down here, to get to services in the platforms.
[22:09] So one of the reasons we're looking at the site
[22:11] And we're looking at which is the old police station site that's precise that you kind of
[22:14] essentially look at it.
[22:16] So a number of services would be walkable, and it's also fairly well situated relative
[22:21] to the existing public.
[22:23] I understand this limited, but it is good to say.
[22:25] And always have to look into, um, you know, somebody...
[22:30] I'm just going to get in to services in comprehensive or, you know, can transportation be coordinated for that.
[22:40] I know right now it's kind of a show place, the program manager is Dean Dave Hanson. He is Executive Director from Center, you know,
[22:48] Everyone, let's say you all know what they need.
[22:49] We know what they need.
[22:50] The center is outreach center.
[22:52] These executive director is a pastor
[22:54] and he drives people with, you know,
[22:58] a prison for housing is sometimes
[22:59] cobbling together what you can mean for it
[23:01] to get before they need to be.
[23:03] And so we can address that as we move forward.
[23:08] Yeah, you know, okay, well that's a barrier.
[23:10] That's a barrier when you're here,
[23:12] you need to get your services that are out there.
[23:14] As a coordinator, you're watching services
[23:16] that are being required of them to check boxes on the legal side and with big, very areas
[23:21] I can't get too top-nish for any club meeting because or I'm not in a reason it's like
[23:27] that transportation piece allows them to check a box and keep moving.
[23:31] And I think I can speak to you.
[23:33] I don't even see it on that side.
[23:35] I'm sure it's similar.
[23:36] But down here, everybody walks.
[23:39] Yeah.
[23:39] And I think that I can't make a house.
[23:41] But we have enough time that if we have enough opportunity to apply for grants that
[23:45] we can look into this special case and can we get a man?
[23:50] I mean, I'm not this is part of our early, but the barriers are the things that makes people
[23:58] give them those sale-out ones.
[24:01] If they're housed and we're getting complaints from other residents because they're not
[24:06] following the rules and that's not going to come back from because they're needing to
[24:15] we need to get them or they need to go.
[24:17] We can, we can, we know that.
[24:19] And we can, we can work on us, yes, cool.
[24:21] Thank you.
[24:22] Worst cottage here, okay.
[24:24] It's at 15, 0, 1, fall some avenue.
[24:28] It's right in, in Yakima.
[24:32] I will leave you guys, my business card.
[24:33] It's on my cell number on it.
[24:34] Please text me or call me out of the love
[24:36] to show you productial place.
[24:38] I would love to, I would love for you to come see it.
[24:41] It's, yeah, I'm afraid.
[24:42] Thanks.
[24:45] Do you have any kind of interests?
[24:48] I mean, are we going to filter out people with violent crime backgrounds?
[24:54] I'm really good question.
[24:59] And so, I wish David was here.
[25:02] I wish David was here.
[25:06] So, we get the names from what I'll say it wasn't about until we get the names from the
[25:16] the program manager is filters through those names, just you get a more names than you need.
[25:22] So let's be able to first type of filters, seniors, and we got, you know, let's say 30 names.
[25:28] Dave has, or the program manager, or the person in charge of that particular
[25:32] from his first housing development, has the capability and the right and the power, I guess, to
[25:41] determine who they don't do and who they don't have to take.
[25:44] So I'm probably going to need to look into that and talk today about if it's somebody with, you know,
[25:52] long list of felonies that are out by the felonies. They might not be able to fix it.
[25:56] We're living with a lot of other people in a community-based, you know, as a result.
[26:00] You think?
[26:01] Right.
[26:06] You think we have some good part of that?
[26:08] Sure.
[26:09] Okay.
[26:11] I'm going to leave my business card and any of you please call me, who would be in touch more and or email me, and I'd love to have you come up and look at kind of a place and I'll just sit down and chat, so I hope that you will invite.
[26:25] I think that's good.
[26:28] Thank you.
[26:29] Hi, everybody.
[26:29] I'm Simon Smith.
[26:30] I'm a partner with an asset signature planning development
[26:33] or an asset development.
[26:34] I don't know if you're watching.
[26:36] My work and I,
[26:38] George Lowe and I are working for a former
[26:41] firm call in Britain and I know that we're,
[26:44] uh, in college at a place, so we're from another program.
[26:46] And we do a lot of work.
[26:47] We consider Washington, and also we have depth of humanity.
[26:50] And we're looking on profits.
[26:52] So, we really look for work that's meaningful.
[26:56] of just housing programs that's done to really kind of an important project and you know
[27:01] have to seem like community that could benefit from the source that we hear.
[27:07] We have, you know, really appreciate the time that it's a two-genic and director.
[27:12] When you have given us so far talking about the situation here about the properties, the
[27:18] cities on that might be a good fit and I think we're all sort of a agreement that the former
[27:23] police station jail or it has a lot of workers sitting all building is a good fit given that
[27:30] it doesn't really have a use and it would be probably fairly hard to dispose of through private
[27:36] market means as a location and that works really well for the third round you think and then
[27:44] it really kind of a powerful story about contributing to thousands and to parents for the
[27:49] most people kind of restoring the city hall to city views and that is across the street from
[27:55] the current city hall. We all think are nice things. We are clear that there is work that
[28:00] goes into clearing a site that's not old in terms of how to listen materials. I'm so liking
[28:06] there would be some abandonment and then what we call our protection adaptive reuse means trying
[28:13] to save the start pieces of it. What we're working out scope to do now is looking at just saving
[28:19] piece that used to be the old city hall. So at some point the jail was built and the fire
[28:25] the program was built and it kind of added and added that the two story piece on the corner
[28:29] more or less is what was the original city hall. I believe they got 1908 and so we're going to be
[28:37] looking to see what funding there would be from historic preservation sources. To help with that
[28:42] state has a lot of programs for historic preservation.
[28:46] They also have programs for environmental
[28:48] remediation and clean-up hazardous materials.
[28:52] And there are even programs that are specifically for cleaning
[28:54] up hazardous materials for sites where four of the housing,
[28:56] which is a problem, like one.
[28:58] Some of those are easier for me to use apologies to access.
[29:02] So if we were going forward, we could work
[29:04] in closely with Pat, and they kind of figure out
[29:06] when the best point to turn it over would be,
[29:09] It might actually be easier for us to help you with the application and have the city
[29:14] of the applicants and there are a lot of details on the display and a figure out.
[29:17] At the end of the day, we might not be able to say a minister or a piece, we're going to
[29:21] be up front with that, but it is our goal because we think it is such a kind of powerful
[29:25] symbol.
[29:26] It is really quite a charismatic building that just needs love, so we're hoping that we'll
[29:31] be able to figure that case out.
[29:34] Happy to answer any questions about the site or about the program or the process or
[29:39] I'm going to use your plan to put in there.
[29:41] That's a good question.
[29:43] The kind of, given that it is downtown,
[29:48] your zoning does allow for a fair bit of density,
[29:51] which we think is an asset,
[29:54] but there is kind of an optimal size for a phase.
[29:58] And so we're looking at doing phase.
[30:02] We're going to be two 24 unit phases or three is kind of our good question. So we're still kind of studying the kind of cycle now. But if we'd be 24, starting, we'd be going to see how like those.
[30:17] Do you have a diagram when you're going to park the cars?
[30:20] Not yet, but we, you know, would be looking at what on-site farming is available.
[30:27] The leaves there are, if the site has three block faces around 25 street parking spaces available.
[30:36] And we wanted to only count the ones that weren't on the sea hall facing straight view as well.
[30:40] There are currently under years only part of the park in the downtown, which is one of the advantage of the site.
[30:46] It's also a population that doesn't tend to own cars, so we wouldn't want to pay to ask
[30:51] a lot of large portions of the site that weren't going to be used, but we do want to be clear
[30:55] at it, but visitors about staff and people coming to do service provision so all of that
[31:02] effort makes it would be accurate. Do you have a price tag on this yet?
[31:10] Do you have a price tag
[31:17] We'd start wanting to get something very loose in writing and laying out an attention.
[31:24] We would do what we call an existing condition report on the installation building, which we're
[31:29] allowed us to see how much it would cost to save it relative to the cost of just the demolishing
[31:33] that is very fresh.
[31:35] And we do have high level drawings of that first base to get a price, but I get all this money
[31:41] be coming from Gretz, and from potentially dead on the property, so we're not asking for
[31:53] If you couldn't say that.
[31:55] The horrible housing is typically, you can say, to Washington, on the view, housing
[32:00] I was just a commerce and so to apply and that's and then a number and a few other
[32:11] funding sources.
[32:11] So if you're saying you're going to need to sit at YouTube and manage the green
[32:16] brush cuts or for you guys going to be able to apply for that directly.
[32:19] No, that's a strength.
[32:21] Okay.
[32:22] Yeah, the worst way to see being the applicant there's a grant called chip for infrastructure.
[32:27] So if we now need to improve the sewer or wire systems nearby, they're state money specifically for that,
[32:33] where the city would be the applicant, and then some of those environmental mediation brands.
[32:38] Also, non-robots can apply to the amount you're looking for, which is sometimes more of a city kind of like what it is.
[32:45] So, again, until we have the existing conditions for you, what's there, we can't say exactly how much we're going to need that.
[32:52] We're a customer, but the grants could be a construction with the just a housing, as the applicant and then fourth, the office of rural, all kinds of federal and formal housing.
[33:04] We're the development consultants. We were the consultants for a kind of show place, and also a rural and formal housing.
[33:13] We go by board with our acronym.
[33:15] So we're now in a propagation of Yakima that was kind of in 1979.
[33:21] We've done hundreds of projects, mostly in rural areas, throughout the state,
[33:27] affordable housing projects.
[33:29] We're involved with the project from the feasibility stage where we are now,
[33:33] all the way through, you know,
[33:35] we're talking about grants and funding, we assist with all the grant applications
[33:39] that put in the capital steps together in something built.
[33:42] and we're involved in the project all the way through the construction and through the love and stuff.
[33:50] And so I think, you know, for about a time line perspective, the trust fund grants are for this year of human life.
[33:55] Yeah. So we're looking at next year's cycle of business around the end.
[33:58] There's another set of grants that is federal grants that come through the federal reserve that are due to the pain.
[34:07] I think whenever they do this, yeah. So we be looking to formalize that application in April.
[34:11] And for both of those, we wouldn't have to actually transact the land before we apply, but we would need an agreement basically saying,
[34:18] contingent on the funding coming in, the site would be made available, and so that's generally speaking enough for just as housing as the applicant would say,
[34:27] if you give us the money we can execute.
[34:32] So I see here that over the past that I'm on,
[34:35] that I've been living into, why walked into,
[34:37] what's what's what's what's what's interesting
[34:38] you walked over there,
[34:39] because studies didn't give it to me.
[34:42] Turn it up there.
[34:43] Well, how do we place that?
[34:47] Are we really, are we really transparent about this?
[34:51] Ken Jones was a part-time employee
[34:56] that kind of, I'm trying to believe,
[34:57] that worked for Justice Housing at Maud doing payroll,
[35:02] just trying to check some balances,
[35:03] you know, just a few hours a week.
[35:05] He did the same thing from those art principles.
[35:08] So he was kind of a, he did both.
[35:11] And so we, I, I relatively knew tonight,
[35:16] we didn't have about three years,
[35:20] but kind of show place, if you guys can see it,
[35:23] we're on phase one right now.
[35:24] We will eventually be developing phase two from a story that's far too long to tell, not our fault.
[35:31] We are not able to develop phase two right now.
[35:34] So we've kind of just been, I've just kind of been thinking, what's our next step, what's our next step?
[35:40] And can Jones, you know, I've worked closely with him, and he came to me and said,
[35:45] I think you should look at how comfortable.
[35:47] And he said, I think that you should look at the knows our building,
[35:50] which we did, and it turned out that it's not a piece of the location for us to develop
[35:58] any housing.
[35:59] But that led into just more discussions and working with chief and realizing that with
[36:07] the number of chronically homeless people you have, we can build a housing to house them.
[36:16] I mean, you know, the number that right now that sits outside of those art,
[36:20] it was our break now as a sheltering people during the day, only at night.
[36:24] And that's why you just, and I got to really like cheap Denise.
[36:31] Because we had a documentary and I brought to you, Yakima, that was called the On the Bridge.
[36:36] And if he was on our panel.
[36:38] And I just, you know, I'm not from Yakima, I'm from Wapato, but I know that Wapato
[36:43] can really benefit from this and meet it. And I would love to see this happen.
[36:49] But I'm just glad you do it for this decision.
[36:53] I'm proud to say you have to talk and have some thanks along to Ken.
[36:55] Because it was just kind of a conversation.
[36:57] And then we just do my little further with it.
[36:59] And I think it's, I hope that I don't have to become something really great.
[37:03] Does Walter make still maintain their ownership with the property?
[37:08] It would be owned by Justice Heldian.
[37:09] on unless you wanted to do it as you call it ground lease and so basically if you
[37:15] did want to retain the ownership of the property you could make just 1,000
[37:19] in a very long term lease usually somewhere 2,59 years and it would also have
[37:24] the option to renew the end of that period but it would allow you to retain the
[37:28] Thank you for all the fun term.
[37:30] When we get housing trust fund money, there's a comment on the property that says that you have to be affordable housing for, like, 40 years.
[37:37] 40 years. Yeah, you can't take those units and turn it in anything else.
[37:42] Thank you very much.
[37:43] All right, so they're pleased to give it to us. If you're willing to sit and keep sitting on the title, it could be done by.
[37:49] Any
[37:54] other question?
[37:57] Thank you.
[37:57] Thank you.
[38:00] So we'll move on to the part of your report. So, let's start with you, Alonair.
[38:03] Good evening, council.
[38:07] I have completed entering the state permit, the transactions for our reconciles, as well as
[38:17] the document county and property taxes and the MS taxes.
[38:23] I'm planning to work on other withdrawals that we have, including people and benefits, because
[38:31] It's a process, so I've been doing little by little in that task and those tasks.
[38:38] I was hoping to be done by now, but just looking at it, it has been a problem to me in
[38:43] the other two weeks to get that completely done.
[38:47] Also, I'll be working on being no taxes for this month and hoping to get all that done because
[38:54] I don't know how to start quarter-dees as well, maybe first week of October. Any questions?
[39:05] I just got a comment on your minister under old business.
[39:10] I think that's really a great way that you've done that.
[39:12] Now that's really clear and concise.
[39:15] And I think that's a great idea to outline the ABCD everything.
[39:23] It's a lot more pleasant.
[39:25] So, I'll commend you on that.
[39:27] Yeah, thank you.
[39:27] That'd be actually does some minutes, so I will let her go on that.
[39:35] Your question?
[39:39] I'm going to unmute that.
[39:41] Yeah, okay.
[39:44] So, well, one and two, which are the private wells.
[39:48] There, we're having a problem over there with them.
[39:52] We're shutting off.
[39:53] And we have to go back over and keep turning them on.
[39:55] I think it's just a matter of electrical issues that we,
[39:59] that something we need to look at getting fixed sooner than later.
[40:04] Well, three got pulled earlier this year.
[40:08] I think that's going to be a bigger project than expected.
[40:12] We did camera, the line.
[40:15] There's obviously something broke off down in there.
[40:18] So we're going to have to try to go and recover that.
[40:22] The other problem is the
[40:25] Casey doesn't go to the bottom of the hole. It's it's short cut about three-hurt
[40:32] water g. And we need the lower that well. The design originally
[40:38] showed that it went all the way down but it's not the way down. So we don't
[40:46] know what we're seeing down there. It's like a time to be casing broke off and
[40:49] fell in there. If that is that's really going to be a problem. There is a more
[40:55] form a way to fix that is we may have to down the sides or both sides because these are
[41:02] in line terms, these are not some personal pumps. And then line it and then put some
[41:10] more of a set of holes in it and then go down deeper to get the water volume we need. So
[41:19] some issues, but if we can get actually well 3 and well 5 and another well operating,
[41:29] we would not be beholding to using the tri-lose anymore. I love let that go at this point,
[41:39] but just in case there's a word to see if we can handle this back up, but we won't have to run those so far.
[41:45] We can actually, because each of those wells have enough water rights to meet your demand
[41:51] and enough capacity when they're fully, fully funded and produced in the water.
[41:55] Let's say a lot of term needs.
[41:58] At some time, I know, here's a piece of property that's been set aside to drill a future
[42:03] well at some time in the future.
[42:06] I don't know what those, a few guys are aware of what the wind or, well, that was both
[42:13] If you read a drill or if there was ever a really a plan or just something you guys mocked
[42:17] to hold aside, but if anybody knows an information information, that would be great.
[42:23] I would like to take a moment to talk about the justice housing and some of the other positive
[42:28] things.
[42:29] That right now, we spend a lot of time, public work staff does, and so does the police department.
[42:36] on alleyways, I hear from the mayor almost weekly on people who may
[42:42] encourage it to the other way is building beds and then we have to go to
[42:46] regular on that very job there to clean it up.
[42:48] These people have homes to go to, we're going to, you know, let's have
[42:53] take a big workload off of us. I'm not going to say we still won't have
[42:57] some problems, but we have a lot of problems in the park with
[43:00] breaking sprinklers and or sending blocks on top of sprinklers so they won't rise so it can
[43:06] stay dry when they're trying to sleep. And the other damage to the sillies now I know it's
[43:16] not all just coming from all of us, it's juveniles doing it as well, things as well. It would take
[43:24] a big cone enforcement issue to offer the plate of the city a lot of our time to a lot of money
[43:31] that we're spending towards that.
[43:38] Any questions from that?
[43:45] Good afternoon.
[43:46] Good afternoon. Even Councilman there.
[43:48] It's been a little while since I've been here. I apologize.
[43:50] It's been kind of a crazy.
[43:53] Graduating senior unions, college and all that stuff. So it's been a crazy summer for me.
[43:58] Just summarized the last two weeks report.
[44:02] September 14th.
[44:03] We had 50-12 cases that were addressed in court, 12 cases were done via Zoom within custody
[44:09] defendants.
[44:10] Of those 50 cases, 10 were traffic, 32 were non-traffic and eight infractions.
[44:16] The decisions that were made on that 50 case load.
[44:19] We had two dismissals, three deals, two amendments.
[44:23] And five cases were defendants, no shows, we sent summons.
[44:27] The other date was today actually the 21st.
[44:31] We had 56 cases today, nine in custody of Zoom, two of those cases were actually done with
[44:37] a defendant that's in powdery ridge, made rages with a prison system to tremors all the
[44:42] warn issue that we're dealing with and so try to, well, he's kept in confinement, maybe
[44:47] he can resolve all the issues and close the door, the bowling team track room.
[44:52] Of those 56 cases, 12 are traffic, 32 are not traffic and 12 are not traffic and 12 are
[44:58] Today we did one of those
[45:12] I don't know if you could tell by the case count normally, on here between 35 and 40 so that it'd be 50 plus, means a variety of different things are going on. But right now, we got to increase flow, because what police part is doing is they're trying to keep people safe, we're trying to close the door together in two places.
[45:29] So it's pretty good.
[45:32] Anybody have any questions for me?
[45:41] Over the last two weeks, we responded to 186 total calls.
[45:44] 82 of those calls are traffic advances.
[45:48] We're continuing to make that a priority.
[45:50] And the schools on to get people to slow down.
[45:54] We didn't have any overdoses that had my wear up.
[45:57] They had our document in our case load.
[46:00] We just continue to make that a priority being out
[46:05] in visible in the public and trying to be there ahead of time. I know there's been calls
[46:11] when telling us that there's somebody overdosing, but by the time we get there they're
[46:16] either, they've been, Narcan and up and gone. So when it comes to our statistics, it doesn't
[46:24] show that we actually were to respond to an overdose because we never got to get a name
[46:30] and talk to the person.
[46:33] I can tell you that for those calls,
[46:36] there has been that I know of Don DeShift
[46:38] in the last couple of weeks, it's been three.
[46:41] But all the only got there, one of the individuals
[46:45] was he swore he was not overdosing.
[46:49] He was very animated about it.
[46:52] And so we can't claim that as an overdose.
[46:55] It's our overdose and our fentanyl problem gone.
[46:58] absolutely not. It's still here that it's something we do with and we're working on with
[47:05] this assessment. We deal with it every day. So some of the stuff that I've done outside of
[47:11] of working shift and being out on patrol is I met with the Traffic Safety Commission through
[47:16] Washington State and I am working on a grant with them to get some more equipment for our vehicles.
[47:23] I mean, radar units, handheld laser units to help with the speed enforcement.
[47:31] The other thing I've asked them is that there was a possibility of how we could get a
[47:35] photo-in-force camera, speed camera set up in the schools-off, so it will always be there.
[47:41] Those tickets would then go directly to the courts and officer would have to just attest to it.
[47:48] So, that's something I want to do with them, that's a conversation I've had last week with them.
[47:53] So, I don't have a lot of information on what it's going to take to do that.
[47:58] I met with the Department of Commerce.
[48:01] I've got on the dashboard, I've got on the sign.
[48:07] Individual that will monitor and oversee the grant that we put in for through them,
[48:12] the $13,000 to start building the courtroom here.
[48:16] So I finally have somebody assigned that will walk this through and we will get the project moving.
[48:23] So this will be, we will start to use this or start to get this, the construction and the remote done.
[48:32] I attended a ribbon cutting ceremony for the YWCA domestic violence shelter in Yakima.
[48:39] That is going to be a great resource for us. There's so much more bed space.
[48:43] and we did what domestic we had just three in the last two weeks and so that give us another resource we can take
[48:51] anybody and they have male and female rooms so it's something that's going to be a really good thing
[48:58] for Yakima County.
[49:01] I met with the Department of Justice Asset Sharing Program.
[49:06] Now, I have activated our account, so now that all of the cases that we assist with federal
[49:13] cases and there's any significant seizures that happen, we now get our percentage of that.
[49:23] So that any case that could be DEA of VI, ATF, Bureau of Indian Affairs, any of those cases
[49:32] that we assist with, that we're a part of, we get a percentage of any seizures, and that
[49:36] comes directly to the police department to be used for police purposes.
[49:45] I've replaced, I had all the expired pads
[49:48] and batteries for all the officers,
[49:50] EEDs, the defibrillators that they all have in their cars.
[49:54] So those are all up and ready to go.
[49:58] We're still addressing that graffiti downtown.
[50:01] I tried to make the first contact,
[50:05] just a personal contact asking for the business owners
[50:09] as a property owner, since you take care of the graffiti,
[50:13] before our letters is given up.
[50:15] If I don't get that cooperation within,
[50:18] I'll give them a week or two, that I will give them
[50:22] a letter in a certified mail as well,
[50:25] to get it taken care of within the prescribed time.
[50:30] Other than that, there's all I have.
[50:32] How long is there, when were you?
[50:34] She's doing great. She is on her second phase of FTO and is doing very well.
[50:41] She's going to be a great fit for the department.
[50:46] I don't know if it's something for you or from Pat, but I don't know if we'll be able to prove it.
[50:51] On 6th Street, we are going on a 10th and 8th turn on 6th.
[50:56] There's a key that's coming down and it's almost like hitting.
[50:59] I know it's called the card that's powered in my head.
[51:02] Is that key? Is there anything we can do about that?
[51:04] I'll create six in that cheese because even that's a little district cult because it hits the busses.
[51:09] Yeah because it almost hits my car because when I drive it, it's fun and I'm running again.
[51:13] There's like, what's that? It doesn't hit me down. It's not cheese and tight in on things.
[51:17] Let me show you that.
[51:18] We have a car on fire. We have a car on fire there, so I'll look at it.
[51:24] Yeah, we can let me help react.
[51:27] I'll turn it back or cut it down over a week.
[51:30] Okay.
[51:32] If we contract, or if you get a speech hammer, is that belong to, or we contract with
[51:38] the alphabet that owns that, or is that our equipment?
[51:43] I don't have those answers yet, but it will not be a cost to the city.
[51:49] No, it's not a cost, but there's constitutional rights there, that people have a right
[51:55] to face to your accuser.
[51:56] There's been a lot of back legislation on those speed cameras and a lot of me
[52:01] witnessed the municipality that have removed them for that reason.
[52:06] I'm just trying to keep the school on the schools I'd say.
[52:09] Well, I think we're doing that, aren't we?
[52:11] I haven't heard of any accidents happening there.
[52:13] I'm just trying to keep the schools on safe.
[52:15] Yeah, I think we're doing it.
[52:18] Okay, any questions?
[52:21] Okay, do I have a motion?
[52:23] I'm most interested in most of the year and most of my Mr. Jamie B to have a second.
[52:30] Second, my miscellaneous, all of the papers, they're now aye, aye, aye, aye, aye, aye, aye, aye, aye, aye, aye, aye, aye, aye, aye. All the first motion, motion, aye, aye, aye, aye, aye.
