[00:00:02]
AND WE'RE THE TIME IS 1 36.WE HAVE SOME SPEAKERS THAT WE'RE GOING TO CALL.
WE'RE GOING TO HEAR THE SPEAKERS AND THEN RECESS THE AUSTIN HOUSING FINANCE CORPORATION MEETING.
GO BACK INTO THE AUSTIN CITY COUNCIL MEETING AND TAKE THE PUBLIC COMMUNICATION SPEAKERS AND THEN BREAK OUR COUNCIL MEMBER TOBA THAT COMES FROM OUR KITCHEN MIRROR.
I APOLOGIZE FOR INTERRUPTING YOU, BUT BEFORE WE REASSESSED AND CONVENED, I WAS GOING TO ASK IF WE COULD POSTPONE ANOTHER ITEM ON THE COUNCIL AGENDA.
UM, IF IT DIDN'T CAUSE CONCERN FOR STAFF, I HAVEN'T HEARD BACK FROM STAFF, BUT I THINK THAT MIGHT SAVE US A BIT OF TIME.
IT'S ITEM 17, THAT WAS ALSO SCHEDULED TO BE, HAVE SOME QUESTIONS AND EXECUTIVE SESSION.
SO IT WOULD BE INAPPROPRIATE FOR ME TO MENTION IT NOW BECAUSE WE'RE IN THE AUSTIN HOUSING AND FINANCE, BUT I DID WANT TO HOLD UP FOR EXECUTIVE SESSION.
LET'S GO AHEAD AND GO INTO EXECUTIVE SESSION.
WE CAN ALWAYS POSTPONE, AS SOON AS WE COME BACK, I WAS JUST TRYING TO SAVE SOME OF OUR STAFF TIME HERE, BUT OKAY, LET'S GO TO, LET'S GO TO EXECUTIVE SESSION.
UH, WELL, BUT WE'RE IN THE AUSTIN HOUSING FINANCE CORPORATION MEETING.
PLEASE CALL THE, UH, SPEAKERS THAT WE HAVE.
WE'RE NOT GOING TO CONSIDER ANY OF THE ITEMS UNLESS IT'S REAL FAST ON CONSENT, WHICH CASE YOU CAN DO THAT.
UH, BUT LET'S HEAR THE SPEAKERS.
FIRST SPEAKER IS SURELY CROSSLAND.
AND JUST, JUST A MOMENT, JARED, WE'RE GOING TO HEAR FROM THE SPEAKERS.
WE'RE GOING TO HEAR MANDY DIMILLO'S AT THE PODIUM.
WE'RE GONNA HEAR FROM SPEAKERS OR FROM I WOULD HERE.
I WOULD HEAR FROM THE SPEAKERS FIRST, IF THERE'S NOT GOING TO BE ANY DEBATE OR DISCUSSION AND THE CONSENT AGENDA ITEM CAN BE HANDLED IN TWO MINUTES, THEN I WOULD HANDLE IT THEN AND PASS IT.
AND THEN YOU CAN END THE AUSTIN HOUSING IF THERE'S ANY DISCUSSION THEN HOLD UNTIL AFTER LUNCH.
BECAUSE WHAT YOU'RE WANTING TO DO IS TO GET OUT OF AUSTIN HOUSING, FINANCE TO GET BACK INTO OUR REGULAR ONES.
SO YOU CAN HEAR PUBLIC COMMUNICATIONS AND THEN TAKE A BREAK SPEAKERS, PLEASE ON HFC, SHIRLEY, CROSS-LINKED SORRY.
I COULD NOT REPLACE AND REPAIR A LOT OF THINGS.
UM, AND THEY, UM, WHAT IT'S SUPPOSED TO, FOR INSTANCE, THE, UH, HOT WATER TANKS AND THE AIR CONDITIONERS, UM, AND THOSE, UM, WILL BE AN ONGOING, UM, UH, THING UNTIL, UM, UNTIL THE RENOVATIONS STARTS.
UM, UH, THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AGAIN.
I SUPPORT THIS NEXT SPEAKER IS SANJAY SHED.
NEXT SPEAKER IS MARI SHAD, ARI.
MY NAME IS MARIE CHAUDHRY OWNER OF BOTH THE HAMPTON AND HOMEWOOD ADJACENT TO CANDLEWOOD.
FIRST CITY SPENT 9.5 MILLION TO BUY CANDLEWOOD.
AND NOW CITY WANTS TO GIVE 3.9 MILLION TO FAMILY ELDERCARE TO RENOVATE.
HAS THE CITY FORGOTTEN HOW MUCH IT WILL COST TO REPAIR DAMAGE FROM VANDALS? PROBABLY A GOOD MILLION.
ALL THE TECH, ALL TAXPAYER MONEY.
IS THERE A SHELTER UP YET? NO, BUT HE SAYS SHELTER WILL BE UP IN SIX MONTHS.
HOW CAN THAT BE WHEN IT'S BEEN SITTING EMPTY FOR NINE MONTHS? WHAT SECURITY PROVIDED? NO.
ARE WOODEN FENCES WERE DAMAGED BY VANDALS, WINDMILL, CITY REPAIR AND OR REPLACED.
WE WANT THIS DONE IMMEDIATELY FOR OUR SAFETY.
MAYOR COUNCIL, ARMS AND OPIOD.
JOSEPH SPEAKING ON ITEM FOUR, WHICH IS THE JUNIPER CREEK DEVELOPMENT.
I'M OPPOSED TO THIS DEVELOPMENT BECAUSE IT CONCENTRATES POVERTY NEAR BREAKER IN NORTH LAMAR.
WELL, 3 92 AS A 45 MINUTES LONG, AND IT'S 30 MINUTES
[00:05:01]
TO TRANSFER IT TO THE LEFT SIDE.AS IT RELATES TO ITEM SEVEN, THAT'S A $3.9 MILLION FROM THE AMERICAN RESCUE PLAN ACT FOR CANDLEWOOD.
I OPPOSE THIS ITEM BECAUSE YOU HAVE NOT TREATED THE PERMANENT SUPPORTIVE HOUSING DEVELOPMENTS EQUITABLY 151 SRO UNITS ON RUTLAND WITH NO BUS.
AND HERE YOU HAVE ONLY 78 UNITS.
I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW HOW MUCH IT IS PER INDIVIDUAL AT THIS COST.
I WOULD ALSO MENTION MAYOR, UH, SPECIFICALLY THAT THERE ARE STUDENTS NEAR RUTLAND AND YOU HAVE ACTUALLY ENGAGED STAFF TO CREATE A NONPROFIT TO OVERSEE, UH, THE CANDLEWOOD, UH, WITH FAMILY ELDER CARE.
AND YOU'VE NOT DONE THE SAME WITH AS PHARAOH.
SO I WOULD JUST ASK YOU TO RECOGNIZE THE HISTORY MADE THIRD.
YOU SAID THERE WOULD ONLY BE 51 UNITS AT SPARROW MAY 18TH.
HE DID THE SWITCH RUTH, UM, NUMBER WOULD BECAME APPLEWOOD, APPLE PIE HOTELS.
IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, I'LL GLOVE ASK NOTHING'S COMING.
NEXT SPEAKER IS SANJAY HSA DARI, DEAR MAYOR AND COUNCIL.
I MANAGED THE BUSINESSES THAT SENT TO CANDLEWOOD AND DISTRICT SIX.
WHAT HAPPENED RECENTLY? THE CANDLEWOOD IS UNACCEPTABLE.
HOWEVER, IT DIDN'T HAPPEN OVERNIGHT.
AND IT WAS UNFORTUNATELY PREDICTABLE APART FROM THE NOT GIVEN NOTICE OR DUE PROCESS OF THE PURCHASE OF CANDLEWOOD.
ONE OF OUR POINTS WAS BEING GIVEN VERBAL PROMISES THAT WE'RE NOT GOING TO BE KEPT.
THE PROMISE OF SECURITY DIDN'T HAPPEN.
DIANA GREY'S APOLOGY IS NOT ACCEPTABLE.
I THINK THE CITY OF AUSTIN SHOULD BE TRANSPARENT AND SHOW THE EMAIL OR REQUEST FOR SECURITY WHOSE FAULT WAS IT, OR WAS DIANA GRAY STATEMENT, JUST AN EMPTY APOLOGY.
FURTHERMORE, YOU'RE DISCUSSING THE RENOVATION AND MANAGEMENT BUDGET FOR THE CANDLEWOOD, BUT DOES IT INCLUDE THE REPAIRS TO FIX THE DAMAGE? I THINK COUNCIL SHOULD WAIT TO VOTE ON THIS ITEM UNTIL, YOU KNOW, THE POOL COSTS TO REPAIR AND RENOVATE FROM WHAT I HAVE SEEN IN PHOTOS AND WITHOUT TAKING A TOUR, I THINK THE EXTRA COST WILL BE CLOSE TO AN ADDITIONAL MILLION DOLLARS.
FURTHERMORE, I RELUCTANT OR RELUCTANTLY DON'T THINK SIX MONTHS UNTIL IT OPENS ANYMORE FOR THAT, I THINK THERE SHOULD BE A REAL APOLOGY TO THE NEIGHBORS AND TAXPAYERS, LASTLY, ANYBODY.
THAT CONCLUDES ALL THE SPEAKERS.
SO, UH, IF THAT IS THE CONCLUSION OF ALL OUR AGE FC SPEAKERS,
[Consent]
UM, DIRECTOR, UM, ALMOST CALLED YOU DIRECTOR, TRUE LOVE MANDY TO MAY OF, WAS THERE ANY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION BEFORE WE ADJOURN THE HFC MEETINGS? WOULD YOU LIKE ME TO BRIEFLY GO OVER THE CONSENT AGENDA FOR HFC? YES, PLEASE.WE HAVE ACTUALLY SIX ITEMS ON THE AGENDA.
