TWO C REAL QUICK. 
          UH, THE BRIEFING DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE ACTION ON ITEMS. UM, BROUGHT FORTH ABOUT REIMAGINING PUBLIC SAFETY WORKING GROUP. 
          THE WORKING GROUP DID NOT MEET, UH, I DID INTEND ON BRINGING A DRAFT OF SOMETHING, WHICH I DID NOT DO, UH, SO I WILL CONTINUE TO WORK ON THAT AND HOPEFULLY WE'LL, WE'LL GET TO MEET BEFORE NEXT MEETING, BUT, UM, I DO NOT HAVE ANYTHING TO SHOW THE COMMISSION TODAY. 
          UM, WE CAN, UH, CONTINUE TO MOVE ON TO  IF WE WANT. 
          UM, I, IF I COULD INTERRUPT, THIS IS LISA. 
          UM, I'M 
          [4A. Discussion and possible action regarding 2021 CDC Meeting Calendar]
SUGGESTING THAT YOU LOOK AHEAD TO FOUR A, WHICH IS TO APPROVE THE MEETING SCHEDULED FOR 2021. 
          YEAH. 
          YEAH. 
          OKAY. 
          UH, THANKS LISA. 
          I DON'T KNOW IF YOU WANT TO FILL, UH, THE COMMISSIONERS IN, BUT IT SOUNDS LIKE, UH, THERE MAY BE OTHER TIMES AVAILABLE FOR US, UH, IN THE EVENING, BUT IT WON'T BE A CONSISTENT DAY OF THE WEEK IF THAT'S MY UNDERSTANDING CURRENTLY OUR OLD TIME WAS OF COURSE, SIX, SIX 30 ON TUESDAY OR 6:00 PM ON TUESDAY. 
          UM, IS THAT CORRECT? WE HAVE SOME MORE FLEXIBILITY, BUT, BUT WE MAY NOT BE ON A CONSISTENT DAY. 
          THAT IS WHAT I WAS TOLD. 
          AND I HAVE ALSO JUST RECEIVED A CALENDAR FOR NOVEMBER AND WE DO HAVE AN EVENING SLOT ON OUR USUAL DATES, SO THAT'S GOOD NEWS. 
          OKAY. 
          BUT IT'S NOT GUARANTEED GOING FORWARD. 
          RIGHT. 
          OKAY. 
          SO THAT MEANS IT WOULD BE OUR SORT OF DEFAULT DAY, BUT THERE MAY BE TIMES WHERE IT'S NOT AVAILABLE. 
          YES. 
          OKAY. 
          IF WE GO WITH OUR DEFAULT DAY, THERE'S A LIKELIHOOD THAT, WELL, IT'S JUST KIND OF A TOSS OF THE COIN, WHETHER WE WOULD HAVE AN EVENING SLOT OR AN AFTERNOON OR MORNING. 
          OKAY. 
          IS THERE A TIME OR TWO WHERE WE HAVE A MORE CONSISTENT, UH, OPPORTUNITY TO, TO KEEP THE TIME, THE EVENING TIME? UM, LET ME LOOK INTO THAT. 
          I DON'T OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD. 
          NO. 
          OR ANYTIME, ANY TIME SLOT THAT MIGHT BE A LITTLE MORE CONSISTENT, LESS VARIABLE FOR SURE. 
          THERE'S A POSSIBILITY FOR A FRIDAY EVENING, WHICH I DON'T KNOW HOW, WHAT THE WILL IS ABOUT THAT. 
          I WONDER WHY THAT'S NOT A POPULAR TIME FOR PEOPLE. 
          UM, OKAY. 
          ARE THERE ANY OTHER SUGGESTIONS THAT YOU HAVE ANY OTHER TIMES THAT ARE AVAILABLE FOR US TO CHOOSE FROM? THIS IS ERICA LAKE. 
          MY UNDERSTANDING FROM THE CITY CLERK'S OFFICE IS THAT WE WOULD HAVE THE BEST LUCK GETTING A CONSISTENT TIME IF WE ACTUALLY STAY WITH THE NORMAL CDC TIME. 
          UM, OTHER THAN THE FRIDAY, I HAVE NOT HEARD OF ANY OTHER OPTIONS WHERE WE WOULD BE LIKELY TO GET THIS THE SAME TIME CONSISTENTLY. 
          OKAY. 
          WELL, I MEAN, PERSONALLY, I CAN SAY THAT WE'VE HAD A PRETTY GOOD RECORD OF A QUORUM, UH, AT THAT TIME. 
          SO OTHER COMMISSIONERS, DO YOU ALL HAVE THOUGHTS ON, UH, CHANGING THE TIME? UM, OR KEEPING IT THE SAME SIX 30 ON TUESDAYS? UH, 20. 
          I FEEL FINE WITH THAT. 
          OKAY. 
          UH, I KNOW THAT THE TIME DURING THE MIDDLE OF THE DAY THAT WE'VE BEEN DOING, LIKE RIGHT NOW HAS BEEN AN ISSUE FOR, UM, FOR SOME FOLKS. 
          SO I THINK THAT EVENING TOWN SENTENCE EVENING TIME SOUNDS LIKE IT'S GOING TO BE THE BEST ONE FOR US. 
          UH, SO ARE WE GOING TO NEED TO, I GUESS, MAKE THEM HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND AND TAKE A VOTE ON THAT? YES. 
          OKAY. 
          COMMISSIONER TO, UH, WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF CHANGING THE TIME AND THE DATE? THE REASON I'M WANTING 
          [00:15:01]
TO KNOW IS THIS IS, UH, UH, WE EVER GOING TO GET BACK INTO THE BUILDING TO MEET, UH, WE ALWAYS GOING TO BE ON A TELEPHONE COUNTRY. 
          YEAH. 
          I THINK THE IDEA IS THAT WE GO BACK INTO THE BUILDING. 
          UM, AND THAT'S WHAT WE'RE VOTING ON RIGHT NOW IS TO LIKE, HAVE OUR NORMAL TIME POST PANDEMIC TO BE BACK AT SIX 30 IN THE BUILDING AT CITY HALL, UM, ON TUESDAYS, UH, AT SIX 30. 
          SO THAT'S, THAT'S WHAT WE'RE ACTUALLY VOTING ON. 
          OKAY. 
          ALL RIGHT. 
          AND ESSENTIALLY WE'RE VOTING TO KEEP IT TO THE WAY IT WAS BEFORE. 
          OKAY. 
          ALRIGHT. 
          SO WE'LL NEED A MOTION IF YOU'D LIKE TO MAKE ONE. 
          OKAY. 
          COMMISSIONER CHILD WILL MAKE A MOTION THAT WE KEEP A REGULAR TIME. 
          OKAY. 
          WE HAVE A MOTION COMMISSIONERS, 20 I'LL SECOND THAT MOTION. 
          OKAY. 
          WE'VE GOT A SECOND FROM COMMISSIONER. 
           ALL IN FAVOR. 
          SAY AYE. 
          ALL OPPOSED. 
          SAY NAY. 
          OKAY. 
          IT SOUNDS LIKE A UNANIMOUS VOTE TO KEEP THE TIME THE SAME. 
          UM, WOULD YOU LIKE US TO MOVE TO FOR BEING PRESENTATION OF THE AUSTIN COMMUNITY CLIMATE PLAN REVISION? UM, 
          [2B. Discussion and possible action on the appointment of commissioners and election of the Chair to the CDC Housing Committee. (Part 2 of 2)]

          AND THAT'S PRETTY MUCH WHERE WE ARE RIGHT NOW.

          UH, WE'RE PROBABLY NOT GOING TO GET TO THAT GOAL. 
          UM, BUT THE STATE OF HAPPY THAT WE WERE ABLE TO GET TO 25, UM, THROUGH OCTOBER, UH, WE ARE ALSO TAKING THE OPPORTUNITY AT THIS TIME TO REVAMP AND SORT OF BE IN PANTS, OUR CASE MANAGEMENT SERVICES, AS WE LOOK TO THE FUTURE AND REINTEGRATING BACK INTO OUR NEIGHBORHOOD CENTERS AND BRINGING IN THE PUBLIC AGAIN. 
          UM, IF YOU GO DOWN TO SOME OF OUR OUTCOMES, UH, LIKE THE HIGHLIGHT FOR E HOUSEHOLDS WHO HAVE WEIGHTED EVICTION ABOUT 810 HOUSEHOLDS, WE'VE ASSISTED, OUR TARGET WAS 500 AT THE BEGINNING OF THE YEAR. 
          UM, SO WE'VE DEFINITELY DONE A LOT MORE THAN THAT. 
          UM, A LOT OF THAT IS RENT. 
          UH, WE ALSO HAVE UTILITY PAYMENTS, UH, THE SERVICE FOR 
          [00:25:02]
L 228. 
          PEOPLE SERVED WITH OUR PLUS ONE, UH, FUNDING. 
          IF YOU GO DOWN TO THE BOTTOM OF THAT PAGE, I'LL GIVE SOME PROGRAMMATIC AND ADMINISTRATIVE UPDATES. 
          WE'RE VERY EXCITED THAT IN THE MIDDLE OF THIS PANDEMIC, AGAIN, WE'LL CONTINUE TO GROW. 
          UM, WE'RE VERY LUCKY. 
          WE ONBOARDED TWO PUBLIC HEALTH NURSES, ONE FOR OUR ST JOHN NEIGHBORHOOD CENTER. 
          AND ONE FOR I'M ON TOP OF LIST NEIGHBORHOOD CENTER. 
          THAT'S JUST ABOUT TO OPEN UP. 
          UH, WE ALSO ADDED AN ADMINISTRATIVE ASSOCIATE AT THE BLACK ONE NEIGHBORHOOD CENTER AND TO COMMUNITY WORKERS. 
          WE CONTINUE TO WORK WITH THE HUMAN RESOURCE DEPARTMENT TO HIRE TWO MORE COMMUNITY WORKERS AND ANOTHER ADMIN FOR OUR MONTOPOLIS LOCATION. 
          SO WE ARE IN A GOOD PLACE AS WE LOOK TO THE FUTURE. 
          NUMBER TWO. 
          OKAY. 
          AS I'VE TOLD YOU, BEFORE WE POSTED ON MARCH 16TH, WHERE WE CONTINUE TO DO RENT AND UTILITY ASSISTANCE IN FOOD PANTRY, CURBSIDE BY APPOINTMENT ONLY. 
          NOW I'M GO TO NUMBER THREE. 
          I'LL BE TALKING ABOUT THAT AS A SEPARATE ITEM TODAY. 
          UM, THE TEXAS, EXCUSE ME, THE DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND COMMUNITY AFFAIRS ASKS US TO PRESENT OUR STRATEGIC PLAN GOALS, UM, THAT ARE PART OF THEIR, UM, REQUIREMENTS FOR US TO RECEIVE FUNDING, UH, THOSE GOALS, UM, UPPER SAMPLES, AND IN A FEW MINUTES, UM, THEY CAN BE ALIGNED WITH OUR, UM, COMMUNITY NEEDS ASSESSMENT AND, UM, THEY ARE ON A SPECIAL WORKSHEET. 
          SO IT WILL BE PRESENTED IN THAT MANNER. 
          I THINK YOU GUYS HAVE THOSE IN YOUR BACKUP AS WELL. 
          AND WE NEED FOR YOU GUYS TO, YOU KNOW, LISTEN TO MY PRESENTATION AND THEN ASK QUESTIONS IF YOU HAVE ANY, AND THEN, UM, UH, HOPEFULLY APPROVE THE GOALS. 
          NUMBER FOUR, KAREN ZACK CSBG FUNDING. 
          AS I MENTIONED A FEW MONTHS AGO, WE RECEIVED ALMOST $1.5 MILLION TO ASSIST FOLKS WITH, UH, RENTAL ASSISTANCE. 
          AND WE'RE MOVING THROUGH THE PROCESS. 
          WE'VE IDENTIFIED THE AUSTIN AREA, URBAN LEAGUE. 
          THEY'VE BEEN APPROVED BY COUNCIL TO BE OUR FISCAL AGENT FOR THIS CONTRACT. 
          SO WE'RE EXCITED ABOUT THAT. 
          AND HOPEFULLY VERY SOON, WE'LL BE ABLE TO, UM, TO GET THOSE FUNDS ACTIVATED AND, UH, HELP THE FOLKS IN, IN NEED. 
          UH, NUMBER FIVE, WE RECEIVED SOME CSBG DISCRETIONARY FUNDING THIS SUMMER ABOUT $54,000. 
          WE'VE FULLY EXPENDED THAT, UH, THROUGH AUGUST 31ST, WE WERE ABLE TO ASSIST ABOUT 148 INDIVIDUALS SUBWAY EVICTION WITH THOSE FUNDS. 
          SO THAT WAS EXCITING. 
          UH, NUMBER SIX OFF THE ENERGY PLUS ONE PROGRAM, WE'RE GRATEFUL TO AUSTIN ENERGY. 
          THEY CONTINUE TO PROVIDE US WITH FUNDING TO HELP THOSE FOLKS WHO ARE BEHIND ON THEIR UTILITY BILLS. 
          UM, AND WE JUST RECEIVED ANOTHER $35,000 AS OF OCTOBER 1ST. 
          SO WE'RE HELPING FOLKS WITH THAT TOO. 
          THERE'S A SUCCESS STORY ON THIS INVITE, YOU GUYS TO TAKE THE TIME. 
          SO WE'D SPEND, AT SOME POINT IT DOES RELATE TO COVID-19 AND THE RESPONSE BY OUR PUBLIC HEALTH NURSING FOLKS WHO HAVE BEEN REASSIGNED TO WORK THE BOSTON PUBLIC HEALTH MEDICAL HOTLINE. 
          SO INSTEAD OF DOING THE CASE MANAGEMENT WORK THAT THEY WERE DOING AT THE NEIGHBORHOOD CENTER AND TO COMMUNITY HEALTH HUBS, WHICH HAVE BECOME IMPOSSIBLE, THEY ARE ACTUALLY DOING A LOT OF GOOD WORK AT THAT, UM, HOTLINE THROUGH AUGUST. 
          I BELIEVE THERE WERE, IT RESPONDED TO ABOUT 57,000 CALLS, UM, WHICH I THINK COMES BACK TO AROUND LIKE 8,000 CALLS PER NURSE SINCE THE PENDANT KIT. 
          SO THEY'VE BEEN VERY BUSY. 
          THEY'RE TAKING CALLS FROM THE PUBLIC AND ANSWERING ALL KINDS OF QUESTIONS THAT RELATE TO COVID. 
          AND THAT COMPLETES MY FIRST PART OF THE PRESENTATION. 
          UM, YOU MAY BE MUTED. 
          OH, SORRY. 
          YEAH, I WAS, I WAS DEFINITELY MUTED. 
          UM, LET'S SEE. 
          OKAY. 
          SO WE ARE NOW ON, UH, THREE B, 
          [3B. Presentation, discussion and possible action on the 2020 – 2024 Neighborhood Services Strategic Plan (Angel Zambrano, Manager, Neighborhood Services Unit, Austin Public Health).]
WHICH IS THE SECOND PART, THE PRESENTATION DISCUSSION POSSIBLE ACTION ON THE 20, 20 TO 2024 NEIGHBORHOOD SERVICES, STRATEGIC PLAN ANGEL, I THINK COMMISSIONER. 
          YEAH, I CAN'T SEE, LIKE I SAID, I CAN'T SEE THIS SCREEN, SO THANK YOU FOR THAT. 
          YEAH, YEAH. 
          I'M SORRY. 
          YEAH, I LOST, I HAD LOST MY PLACE ON MY SCREEN AS WELL. 
          OKAY. 
          I COULDN'T FIND MY, UH, MY AGENDA, SO MY APOLOGIES. 
          ALL RIGHT. 
          TOTALLY UNDERSTAND. 
          ALL RIGHT. 
          SO, AS I MENTIONED A LITTLE BIT, A COUPLE OF MINUTES AGO, UH, THE TEXAS DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING COMMUNITY 
          [00:30:01]
AFFAIRS, UH, REQUIRES US TO DO A STRATEGIC PLAN FIVE YEARS OUT AND TO PRESENT THE STRATEGIC PLAN GOALS, UH, TO THE COMMISSION. 
          SO, UH, AUSTIN PUBLIC HEALTH HAS ITS OWN STRATEGIC PLAN AND ABOUT OVERARCHING KIND OF THE BIG ONE. 
          AND THEN THE NEW SERVICES UNIT, UH, SUBMITS A SPECIFIC STRATEGIC PLAN GOALS FOR THE WORK THAT'S SUPPORTED BY OUR CSBG, UH, FUNDING, THE NEIGHBORHOOD CENTERS, AND ALSO TO ALIGN AND MEET TDAC EXPECTATIONS. 
          UM, THE FIRST PART THAT I IN YOUR BACKUP IS A WORD DOC. 
          UM, THAT'S THE FORMAT THAT THE STATE REQUIRES US TO SUBMIT THIS AS A, SO I JUST KIND OF GO OVER SOME OF IT AND KIND OF HIGHLIGHT SOME THINGS THAT I THINK WOULD BE OF INTEREST TO YOU GUYS, AS YOU KNOW, 2020 HAS BEEN A UNIT OR A MEMBER DOING THIS PANDEMIC. 
          WE'VE HAD TO ADAPT. 
          AND SO UNPREDICTABLE CIRCUMSTANCES WHERE THE PREDICTABLE NEEDS OF OUR NEIGHBORS CENTERS, COMMUNITIES. 
          AND I THINK I'VE PRESENTED THAT OVER THE MONTH ALREADY. 
          SO I WON'T GO INTO DETAIL WITH THAT, UM, TO DEVELOP THESE GOALS, UH, THAT ARE SUPPORTED BY CSBG. 
          UH, WE MET WITH STAFF, UH, WE ALSO HAD MEETINGS WITH, UH, COMMUNITY MEMBERS AND A SURVEY THAT WENT OUT TO FOLKS. 
          AND, UM, IF YOU GO TO PAGE NUMBER TWO OF THAT DOCUMENT THAT HAS THE PURPOSE, UM, I WON'T LEAVE THE PURPOSE. 
          THAT'S RIGHT THERE FOR YOU. 
          I'LL KIND OF GO DOWN TO NUMBER THREE, THE MANDATES, THE G AND T HCA, PRETTY CLEAR, YOU KNOW, TO REDUCE POVERTY, TO REVITALIZE LOW INCOME COMMUNITIES, OUR FAMILIES AND INDIVIDUALS TO BECOME SELF SUFFICIENT, TO MEET ORGANIZATIONAL STANDARDS FROM TMCA TO PROVIDE CASE MANAGEMENT TO OUR CLIENTS AND TO TRANSITION 43 CLIENTS OUT OF POVERTY EACH YEAR. 
          AND WE DO THAT THROUGH A VARIETY OF SERVICES, WHETHER IT'S TARGETING BASIC NEEDS, THE MENTAL HEALTH CASE MANAGEMENT WITH OUR SOCIAL WORKERS AND EMPLOYMENT SUPPORT AS WELL. 
          IF YOU KIND OF GO DOWN AND YOU SEE THE CITY OF AUSTIN VALUES AND EXPECTATIONS, THE PRIDE VALUES THAT I'M SURE YOU'RE ALL WELL AWARE OF PUBLIC SERVICE, RESPONSIBILITY AND ACCOUNTABILITY, INNOVATION AND SUSTAINABILITY ARE SEEING THAT INCLUSION AND ETHICS AND INTEGRITY. 
          YEAH. 
          THE VISION AND MISSION AUSTIN, PUBLIC HEALTHCARE AS WELL. 
          AND THE CORE PURPOSE I'D LIKE TO SKIP DOWN TO NUMBER THREE, HAVE A SUMMARY OF OUR STRENGTHS, INTERESTS, AND CHALLENGES. 
          AS WE WERE WORKING THROUGH THESE GOALS, I'D BE HAPPY TO SAY THAT SOME OF OUR STRENGTHS ARE, WE HAVE A REALLY GOOD, SOLID INTERDISCIPLINARY TEAM APPROACH. 
          AS YOU GUYS KNOW, WE HAVE COMMUNITY WORKERS, SOCIAL WORKERS, NURSES, MANAGERS, COMMUNITY, HEALTH WORKERS, ALL WORKING TOGETHER TO SUPPORT AND EMPOWER A COMMUNITY, BOTH IN TERMS OF REDACTS AS EMPLOYMENTS OR SNAP BENEFITS, ET CETERA. 
          WE HAVE GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE EVERY YEAR. 
          WE GET REALLY POSITIVE CLIENT FEEDBACK. 
          I THINK I PRESENTED THIS BACK IN JANUARY AND THE RESULT OF THAT, WE HAVE A DIVERSITY OF STAFF THAT COME WITH LIVED EXPERIENCE, UM, OUR FOOD ACCESS PROGRAMS THAN OTHER STRENGTH OF OURS. 
          WE REALLY DO A LOT OF COLLABORATION WITH THE CENTRAL TEXAS FOOD BANK, HEB WHOLE FOODS, UH, TO BE ABLE TO RECEIVE, UM, PERISHABLE AND NONPERISHABLE FOODS OR A COMMUNITY. 
          AND THE BIGGEST THING, I THINK THE BIGGEST STRENGTH THAT WE HAVE IS THAT WE'RE, IT'S THREE SERVICES. 
          THIS IS AT NO COST TO OUR FOLKS GO TO THE NEXT PAGE. 
          UH, SOME WEAKNESSES THAT WE IDENTIFIED OR WERE IDENTIFIED WAS A LACK OF SOCIAL MEDIA PRESENCE. 
          UM, I THINK WHEN I CAME ON BOARD, WE WERE STILL PRETTY OLD SCHOOL. 
          A LOT OF, UM, WE RELIED A LOT ON WORD OF MOUTH, UH, FLYERS, THAT TYPE OF THING. 
          UM, AND THE COMMUNITY IS REALLY GOOD ABOUT LETTING EACH OTHER KNOW ABOUT OUR SERVICES AND THAT WE EXIST, BUT WE'VE BEEN WORKING A LOT MORE PROACTIVELY, UM, IN THE LAST YEAR, YEAR AND A HALF TO, TO HAVE MORE OF A SOCIAL MEDIA PRESENCE. 
          SO WE'RE WORKING WITH OUR PIO AND, UM, HELP HAVING THEM HELP US WITH THE WEBSITE, UH, WITH FACEBOOK AND ALL THOSE THINGS. 
          AND I THINK IT'S MADE, UH, STARTING TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE, UM, THAT GOES ALONG WITH THE PROMOTION AND OUTREACH THROUGH A VERY GOOD ABOUT DOING IT, YOU KNOW, ONE PERSON AT A TIME, OR TRYING TO DO IT A LITTLE BIT MORE PLANNED THAN MORE, UM, SORT OF, UH, PUTTING BLAST OUT THERE. 
          UH, FUNDING AND BUDGETING IS ALWAYS A CRISPY SCENE. 
          IT'S A WEAKNESS IT'S SORT OF ON THE WHIMS OF GOVERNMENT AND POLITICS, BUT SO FAR WE'VE RECEIVED, UH, YOU KNOW, FUNDING TO CONTINUE PROVIDING EXCELLENT SERVICES WITH JUST CARES THAT FUNDING WILL BE 
          [00:35:01]
ABLE TO DO EVEN MORE. 
          UM, IF YOU GET ONTO OPPORTUNITIES, UM, FINDING SATELLITE LOCATIONS TO PROVIDE OUR SERVICES WAS SOMETHING THAT I THOUGHT WAS, UH, WAS A GOOD, GOOD THING WE COULD DO. 
          AND WE STARTED THAT AND WE JUST STARTED, WE JUST GOT GOING WITH THAT BACK IN FEBRUARY AND MARCH, OR WHENEVER YOU GUYS REMEMBER, WE OPENED UP A YMC NORRIS, AND WE'RE ABOUT TO OPEN UP AT THE YMCA EAST AND THEN THE PANDEMIC KIT. 
          SO WE EVEN TEST DEFINITELY GOING TO BE A BIG FOCUS OF OURS ONCE WE REINTEGRATE INTO OUR CENTERS, UM, WRAPAROUND SERVICES WAS ANOTHER OPPORTUNITY THAT WE SAW. 
          WE HAVE A LOT OF PARTNERS, WHETHER THEY'RE IN THE BUILDINGS WITH US OR THEIR HEALTHCARE, AND WE KNOW WHO THEY ARE. 
          SO WE'RE GOING TO BE WORKING ON THAT, UM, CHILDISH INC WITH WIC, WITH THE WORKFORCE, ET CETERA, UH, SOME THREATS. 
          UH, AGAIN, I MENTIONED THAT ON THE NATIONAL BUDGET AND FUNDING, IT'S ALWAYS CONTENTIOUS ON BOTH SIDES OF THE AISLE, UM, TO BE HONEST, BOTH SIDES WHERE WE WANT TO CUT OUR SERVICES EVERY YEAR. 
          AND THEN AT THE END, THEY COME UP WITH A COMPROMISE, BUT THEN LUCKY THAT WE CONTINUE TO GET THE FUNDING, UM, UNDOCUMENTED CLIENTS FEARFUL OF APPLYING FOR SERVICES WAS SEEN AS A THREAT WHEN WE WERE DOING THIS, BUT I THINK WE'VE DONE A REALLY GOOD JOB OF GETTING THE WORD OUT THAT, THAT THAT IS NOT AN ISSUE FOR US. 
          AND WE HAVE VERY, VERY LONG TERM EMPLOYEES WITHIN OUR UNITS THAT HAVE REALLY STRONG RELATIONSHIPS WITH COMMUNITY AGENCIES. 
          SO I BELIEVE THAT'S NOT SO MUCH OF A THREAT ANYMORE. 
          UM, POLICIES AND PROCEDURES ARE LENGTHY COMPLICATED, BUT WE HAVE TO ABIDE BY THEM IN ORDER TO CONTINUE TO GET THE FUNDING. 
          SO THAT'S THERE FOR GOOD AND THE POLITICAL CLIMATE AGAIN, AND LEGISLATION TO CHANGE AT ANY TIME, FEDERAL, STATE, AND LOCAL LEVELS. 
          YOU GO TO THE NEXT PAGE ABOUT  KEY, STRATEGIC ISSUES IDENTIFIED. 
          UM, YOU LOOK AT THOSE AT THE MIDDLE OF THE PAGE, INCREASING OUR PROGRAM OUTCOMES, ENSURING COMPLIANCE WITH CSBG ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS, VERY IMPORTANT, UM, IMPROVING OUR MARKETING AND OUTREACH AND EDUCATION TO THE COMMUNITY. 
          AS I MENTIONED EARLIER WITH HER AN OPPORTUNITY, UM, HE'S AND PROMOTING AND SUPPORTING EMPLOYEE WELLNESS AND EMPLOYEE CAREER DEVELOPMENT AND RETENTION EFFORTS, UH, WAS ALSO VERY IMPORTANT TO US AS WE LISTENED TO OUR WORKFORCE AND WHAT THEY WANTED IN TERMS OF SUPPORT. 
          UH, WE NEED TO HAVE HEALTHY EMPLOYEES, HAPPY EMPLOYEES, FOLKS THAT CAN COME INTO OUR OFFICE WITH ENTHUSIASM AND BUOYANCY TO DO THE DIFFICULT WORK THAT WE DO DAY IN AND DAY OUT. 
          AND NUMBER FIVE, IMPROVE COORDINATION AND COMMUNICATION BETWEEN PROGRAMS AND COMMUNITY PARTNERS THAT DEFINITELY COULD ALWAYS BE IMPROVED. 
          AND THEN WE CAME UP WITH, UH, WITH THE GOALS AND THEIR FORMAT AS WELL. 
          SO THAT WOULD BE THE I'M ASSUMING I CAN'T SEE YOU A BACKUP, BUT THERE SHOULD BE A SECOND WORKSHEET DOCUMENT IN YOUR BACKUP THAT GOES OVER THE, UM, THE GOALS. 
          DO YOU GUYS HAVE THAT? YOU CAN SEE IT THAT'S SO, YEAH, I'M ACTUALLY LOOKING FOR A BACKUP, IF YOU CAN, IF YOU CAN SEE IT, THAT'S FINE. 
          IF NOT, YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE IT THERE. 
          I'LL JUST KIND OF BRIEFLY GO OVER EACH GOAL. 
          THERE'S FIVE GOALS SHEET AND, UH, OKAY, AWESOME. 
          SO YOU'RE LIKE A GOAL NUMBER ONE, UM, THE WAY IT'S SET UP IT'S UM, IT'S WHEN IT TARGETS THE COMMUNITY NEEDS ASSESSMENT, UH, NEED NUMBER THREE, WHICH WAS EMPLOYMENT AND KIND OF TIES IN WITH OUR SELF SUFFICIENCY CASE MANAGEMENT, UH, PROGRAMMING TALKS A LITTLE BIT ABOUT HOW WE COLLECT THE DATA WHEN WE REPORT IT. 
          I THINK IT'S CALLED DOWN TO THE BOTTOM OF THAT FIRST PAD MIGHT BE YOUR SECOND PAGE, KIND OF OUTLINES IT FROM YEAR 20, 22 YEAR 2024. 
          THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE WE WANT TO ENROLL IN SELF-SUFFICIENCY CASE MANAGEMENT IN TERMS OF OUR CAPACITY IN OUR, OUR STAFFING, UH, THERE'S SOME OUTCOMES WE WANT TO BE ABLE TO EVERY YEAR HAVE MORE AND MORE OF OUR FOLKS THAT ARE ENROLLED IN SELF SUFFICIENCY, CASE MANAGEMENT, UH, OBTAIN EMPLOYMENT. 
          AND WITH THAT, WE ALSO WANT AT LEAST, UM, 43 PEOPLE IN STATION OUT OF POVERTY, UM, EVERY YEAR THROUGH THE NEXT FIVE YEARS. 
          AND I, THE BIGGEST ID PIECE FOR ME IS THAT WE ARE REVAMPING OUR CASE MANAGEMENT SERVICES. 
          WE TOOK THIS TIME RIGHT NOW TO BE ABLE TO DO THAT. 
          AND WHEN 
          [00:40:01]
WE OPEN UP AGAIN, WE'LL HAVE A MORE ROBUST PROGRAM. 
          IF YOU GO TO GOAL NUMBER TWO, IT'S A CITY OF AUSTIN NEIGHBORHOOD CENTERS WILL PROMOTE WELLNESS, UNEMPLOYABLE RETENTION ACTIVITIES. 
          OUR OBJECTIVE IS TO INCREASE KNOWLEDGE, SKILLS, AND ABILITIES OF ALL STAFF WORKING IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD CENTERS. 
          A STRATEGY IS TO USE THE EMPLOYMENT RETENTION AND WELLNESS PROMOTION TASKFORCE THAT WAS CREATED WITH THIS IN MIND TO ORGANIZE AND IMPLEMENT TRAININGS AND ACTIVITIES. 
          UH, THERE'S SOME OUTPUTS THERE, WHICH IS PUBLISHING A NEWSLETTER THAT PROMOTES WELLNESS IN THE WORKPLACE AND AT HOME. 
          ANOTHER OUTPUT IS FACILITATING WELLNESS ACTIVITIES THAT THE NEIGHBORHOOD SERVICE IS UNIT STAFF MEETINGS. 
          AND WE'VE BEEN HAVING SOME, UM, SOME VIRTUAL MEETINGS THAT ARE A LITTLE BIT, WE USED TO MEET TWO OR THREE TIMES A YEAR FOR SIX, SEVEN HOURS AT A TIME TO DO KIND OF A LONG RETREAT, BUT OBVIOUSLY IT'S NOT POSSIBLE. 
          SO WE'RE DOING SHORTER UNIT WIDE MEETINGS AND INCORPORATING WELLNESS ACTIVITIES, UM, IN BETWEEN OTHER PROGRAMMATIC, UM, BULLETS ON THE AGENDA. 
          AND THEN WE'RE ALSO TRYING TO MEASURE THIS BY PROMOTING AND MEASURING HOW MANY STAFF WILL PARTICIPATE IN THOSE CITY OF AUSTIN SPONSORED WELLNESS ACTIVITIES. 
          THE CITY IS REALLY GOOD, UM, THROUGH THE HEALTH CODE EVENTS AND PROMOTING THIS, WE'D LIKE TO GET UP TO 30% NOW AND ALL THE WAY UP TO 60% OF ALL STAFF PARTICIPATING IN THESE, UM, PROACTIVE ACTIVITIES. 
          AND WE WANT TO CONTINUE TO PROVIDE TO STAFF REQUEST TRAINING ANNUALLY. 
          SO LISTEN TO THEM WHAT THEY WANT TO BE TRAINED ON WHEN IT'S MOTIVATIONAL INTERVIEWING KIND OF MEDITATIVE PRACTICE, UM, FROM INFORMED CARE, WHATEVER IT IS, BRING FOLKS IN TO BE ABLE TO PROVIDE THOSE TRAINING. 
          YOU GO TO BOWL, NUMBER THREE, THAT GOAL ALLIANCE WITH, UH, THE FOURTH NEED AND OUR BASIC IN THEIR COMMUNITY NEEDS ASSESSMENT, WHICH IS BASIC NEEDS. 
          OUR GOAL IS TO IMPROVE ACCESS TO BASIC NEEDS SERVICES. 
          AND OUR OBJECTIVE IS TO INCREASE THE NUMBER OF SERVICE SITES AND WAYS TO ACCESS THOSE SERVICES AND THAT WE WERE GOING TO BE DOING THAT IS, UM, WE FORMED A TASK FORCE TO DEVELOP THE ONLINE INQUIRY. 
          THEY ARE WORKING ON THAT RIGHT NOW TO BRING THAT ONLINE, UM, APPLICATION PROCESS SO THAT FOLKS CAN APPLY FOR OUR SERVICES DURING NON DISTANCE HOURS. 
          UH, WE'RE ALSO WORKING ON AGAIN ON REIMPLEMENTING THE TWO SATELLITE LOCATIONS. 
          ONCE WE OPEN UP TO THE PUBLIC, AGAIN, I'M ALSO EXCITED ABOUT OPENING MINIMUM TOPLESS, RECREATION AND COMMUNITY CENTER. 
          AND AS WE MOVE FORWARD, UH, WORKING PROACTIVELY WITH THE DOVE SPRINGS NEIGHBORHOOD CENTER PLANNING FOLKS, TO MAKE SURE THAT, UM, THE CENTER ALSO HAS A FULL NEIGHBORS CENTERED COMPONENT. 
          I DON'T KNOW HOW COME IT'S ABOUT HOW SORRY, JOE. 
          I DON'T, I DON'T KNOW IF I'M THE ONLY PERSON WHO CAN'T SEE YOUR SCREEN ANYMORE, BUT I'M TRYING TO FOLLOW ALONG IN THE BACKUP, BUT ALL I HAVE IS A BLACK SCREEN ON THE SHARED SCREEN. 
          SO I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S JUST MINOR, IF THAT'S WHAT EVERYBODY'S SAYING. 
          YEAH. 
          I CAN'T SEE THE SCREEN AT ALL. 
          LIKE I'M NOT EVEN LOGGED ON. 
          I MEAN, I'M, I, WE ARRANGE THE CHAIRS. 
          YEAH, YEAH, NO, NO, IT'S UP NOW. 
          SO, SO THANK YOU, WHOEVER AT CITY HALL REFRESHED. 
          APPRECIATE THAT. 
          OKAY. 
          THANKS. 
          YOU CAN CONTINUE ANGEL. 
          SORRY. 
          OKAY. 
          NO, I APOLOGIZE FOR THE AWKWARDNESS TOO. 
          CAUSE LIKE I SAID, I, MY SCREEN KEEPS SAYING, PREPARING FOR THE EVENT, BUT I'M JUST GONNA COPY. 
          OKAY. 
          UM, SO YOU LOOK AT THAT GOAL SECOND PAGE. 
          UM, I BASICALLY OUTLINED THE ONLINE APPLICATION PROCESS AND UM, THE SATELLITE LOCATIONS AND THEN YOU NEIGHBORHOOD CENTER SPRINGS. 
          ALL RIGHT. 
          IF YOU GO TO GOAL, UH, NUMBER FOUR IT'S ELIGIBILITY WILL BE DETERMINED CORRECTLY FOR OUR CLIENTS RECEIVING CSBG SERVICES. 
          WE DECIDED TO KEEP THIS IN HERE, CAUSE IT'S SUCH A BIG PART OF, UM, OF WHAT WE DO. 
          YOU KNOW, WE REALLY CANNOT HAVE ELIGIBILITY AREAS FOR THE FUNDING WE RECEIVE. 
          AND WE'RE OBVIOUSLY TURNOVER AT TIMES AND GETTING NEW STAFF SO WANT TO CONTINUE TO MAKE SURE THAT ALL CFPG FUNDED SERVICES WILL BE PEER REVIEWED AND WE WILL AUDIT, UM, THESE RECORDS TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE STATE AND THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT WILL PROVIDE TWO YEARLY ELIGIBILITY TRAININGS FOR ALL STAFF. 
          THOSE ARE THE ONES THAT ARE USUALLY SEVEN TO EIGHT HOURS, VERY COMPLICATED. 
          I MEAN THE WORK WE DO SEEMS SIMPLE. 
          HELPING PEOPLE PAY THEIR RENT, UTILITIES, FIND EMPLOYMENT, HAVE ACCESS TO FOOD. 
          UH, BUT BEHIND THE SCENES, IT'S A LOT OF PAPERWORK. 
          YOU 
          [00:45:01]
GO TO GOAL NUMBER FIVE, THE COMMUNITY NEEDS ASSESSMENT IDENTIFIED THIS AS THE NUMBER ONE NEEDS HOUSING AND OUR GOAL AGAIN, AND HAS ALWAYS BEEN TO PREVENT DISPLACEMENT. 
          SO THEIR BIRTH CENTER CLIENTS FROM AUSTIN OR TRAVIS COUNTY AND OUR OBJECTIVE IS TO OBJECTIVIST TO INCREASE HOUSING STABILITY, THE PROVISION OF RENT AND UTILITY ASSISTANCE AND CASE MANAGEMENT SORT OF ASSIST STRATEGIES TO EFFICIENTLY PROCESS THIS FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE AND ADVOCATE FOR ADDITIONAL FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE FUNDING AS IT BECOMES AVAILABLE TO ASSIST LOW INCOME INDIVIDUALS. 
          UM, IF YOU LOOK THE LOW DHEA WE HAD THE GOALS THROUGH THE YEAR, OUR GOAL WAS 500 HOUSEHOLD SCHOOL, AVOID EVICTION FOR NEXT YEAR. 
          HAVING RECEIVED AS EXTRA CARE SIDE FUNDING, UH, WE TARGETED THAT WE MIGHT BE ABLE TO ASSIST 1200 HOUSEHOLDS AVOID EVICTION WITH THAT 1.1 0.2, $1.3 MILLION AND EXTRA FUNDING THAT WE RECEIVED. 
          AND THEN IT'S ALL AN UNKNOWN. 
          WE KIND OF MOVED BACK TOWARDS THE 500 GOAL FOR THE FOLLOWING YEAR. 
          HOPEFULLY COLE WILL BE BEHIND US AND THEN WE INCREMENTALLY INCREASE THAT TO ABOUT 550 FOLKS THAT WE CAN ASSIST TO OUR SERVICES, AVOID EVICTION IN AUSTIN. 
          AND AGAIN, SOME OF THESE THINGS THAT ARE UNKNOWN, UH, WE DON'T KNOW, YOU KNOW, WHAT WILL HAPPEN TOMORROW OR NEXT MONTH WITH THIS PANDEMIC. 
          SO WE ARE HOPEFUL THAT WE WILL BE ABLE TO BE THERE FOR THE CLIENTS WHO ARE, WHO NEED US IN TERMS OF RENT UTILITIES, LIKE HEALTH NURSING AND CASE MANAGEMENT. 
          WELL, THANK YOU FOR SOLICITING TAKING THE TIME, UM, TO GO OVER THIS. 
          AND I APOLOGIZE AGAIN WITH THE TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES, NOT BEING ABLE TO SEE IT ON THIS SCREEN AS I PRESENTED. 
          SO I HAVE A QUICK QUESTION. 
          SO LOOKING AT THIS, YOU'RE OBVIOUSLY TRYING TO AS MANY PEOPLE TO AVOID EVICTION AS POSSIBLE AND THE REPORT THAT YOU GAVE JUST A MOMENT AGO AND THE PREVIOUS AGENDA ITEM, YOUR TARGET WAS 500. 
          AND THAT'S WHAT IT SAYS HERE FOR 2020 IS THE GOAL OR THE OUTCOME, BUT IT SAYS YOU ACHIEVED 810 HOUSEHOLDS AVOIDING EVICTION. 
          UM, AND THEN IN 20 AND 2021, YOU'RE, YOU'RE SEEING YOU HAVE A HIGHER NUMBER. 
          SO OBVIOUSLY THIS IS OFF, I GUESS THE PANDEMIC IS FACTORING INTO THIS. 
          UM, I'M WONDERING, ARE YOU SEEING ANY, ARE YOU THINK MORE PEOPLE ARE ON THE BRINK NOW THAN THEY WERE A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO? CAN YOU CHARACTERIZE WHAT YOU'RE SEEING? UM, WHAT WE'RE SEEING AT THE NEIGHBORHOOD CENTERS IS, UH, A HIGH DEMAND FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. 
          UH, STILL, UH, WE SEE PEOPLE THAT ARE BEHIND A MONTH OR TWO AND RENT. 
          UM, WE ALSO DO SEE A LOT OF RESILIENCE AND A LOT OF FOLKS, UH, NETWORKING AND GETTING SUPPORT ELSEWHERE OR FROM RELATIVES. 
          SO IT'S KIND OF A MIX. 
          UM, BUT DEFINITELY FOR US HAVE BEEN ABLE TO CENTER US. 
          WE, WE DEFINITELY SEE THE DEMAND AND I DON'T SEE IT LETTING UP. 
          UM, BUT AGAIN, THAT'S JUST MY OWN SORT OF ANECDOTAL OPINION. 
          I'M LISTENING TO OUR STAFF IN OUR NUMBERS. 
          UM, I THINK WHEN WE GET THAT, IT'S GOING TO BE ALMOST $1.1 MILLION A CHAIR THAT WE WERE GOING TO BE ABLE TO USE FOR, UM, WHERE THE CARES ACT FUNDING. 
          AND THAT COMES OUT TO MAYBE A THOUSAND DOLLARS PER HOUSEHOLD THAT WE'LL BE ABLE TO ASSIST. 
          UM, IF HE'S FAIR TO SAY THAT, CAUSE YOU NEVER KNOW IT'S VERY COMPLICATED OR SOME FOLKS MIGHT COME IN AND, AND, AND THE $3,000 TO BE ABLE TO STAY HOUSED. 
          THIS MIGHT COME IN ONLY 800, SO IT'S VERY, IT'S VERY A LOT OF UNKNOWNS. 
          BUT TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION, I THINK WE'VE AT LEAST IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD CENTERS, WE'RE STILL SEEING THE DEMAND FOR SURE. 
          COMMISSIONERS TO ANYONE. 
          ANYONE ELSE HAVE QUESTIONS? COMMISSIONER DELGADO, PLEASE.

          [00:50:01]
I KNOW THAT YOU SAID THAT THE CLINICS HAVE BEEN CLOSED. 
          UM, IS THERE, WHAT TYPE OF, UM, WHAT'S GOING ON OVER THERE? CAN YOU GIVE ME AN UPDATE? SURE. 
          COMMISSIONER  THANK YOU FOR THE QUESTION. 
          UH, AT SECOND AND KOMAL NEIGHBORHOOD CENTER, UM, I'LL GIVE YOU A COUPLE OF 'EM. 
          WHY NOT SAY IT, THAT WE HAVE A NEW PROGRAM MANAGER, UM, WHO STARTED YESTERDAY? UH, JUAN GARCIA, WHO HAD BEEN THE PROGRAM MANAGER THERE, UH, WENT TO WORK AT WORKFORCE. 
          SO WE HAVE A NEW MANAGER AND WE ARE PROVIDING RIGHT NOW, WE ARE PROVIDING THE CURBSIDE, UH, FOOD PANTRY SERVICE. 
          WE, THIS SUMMER WE PROVIDED THE FANS AGAIN, IT WAS KIND OF A DRIVE UP, UH, FANS FOR, UM, FOLKS. 
          AND WE'RE ALSO PROVIDING THE RENT AND UTILITY ASSISTANCE VIRTUALLY YOU CAN CALL IN AND THEY CAN GET FOOD PANTRY, CURBSIDE, ANYTHING UTILITY ASSISTANCE, DEPENDING ON OUR FUNDING. 
          AND, UM, AND IF THERE'S SEASONAL EVENTS, LIKE THE FANS WERE ABLE TO DO THAT AS WELL. 
          AND WE MIGHT BE ABLE TO DO COATS FOR KIDS. 
          WE'RE STILL KIND OF WORKING WITH THAT ORGANIZATION, UH, FOR THAT. 
          COULD YOU GIVE ME THAT NUMBER AGAIN FOR THE RENT AND ASSISTANCE AT RENT AND UTILITY ASSISTANCE? UH, YES. 
          YOU WOULD CALL, UM, NINE SEVEN TWO SIX SIX FIVE ZERO. 
          OKAY, GREAT. 
          AND AS FAR AS EVICTIONS, UM, I SEE THAT YOU ALL HAVE BEEN HELPING, UM, WITH THE ACT NOW, IS THAT AT, OUT OF THIS CENTER AS WELL? OR IS IT, OR IS IT I THOUGHT OF THIS KIND OF ALL OF THE CENTERS WE HAVE MEMBERS ALL KIND OF FUNNEL UP. 
          YEP. 
          YEP. 
          OKAY, GOOD, GOOD, GOOD. 
          UM, ONE THING I'D LIKE TO SAY COMMISSIONER,  ANOTHER THING THAT WE DO. 
          IF WE CAN NOT HELP SOMEONE, IF SOMEONE CALLS AND WE DON'T HAVE THE FUNDING OR AT THE MOMENT WE DON'T HAVE THAT SERVICE, WE'RE VERY HAPPY TO PROVIDE ALTERNATIVE SOURCES AND DO LIKE A WARM HANDOFF. 
          PEOPLE ARE NOT GOING TO LEAVE WITHOUT ANY INFORMATION AT ALL. 
          SO THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE CAN OUT OF OUR WAY. 
          SO WHETHER IT'S, UM, CATHOLIC CHARITIES OR URBAN LEAGUE OR THE NIGHT ATX, THAT'S HOW WE WILL DEFINITELY GIVE THEM SOME SOMETHING TO WALK AWAY WITH SO THEY CAN GET HELP ELSEWHERE IF NEEDED. 
          OKAY, GREAT, GREAT, GREAT. 
          SO, UM, I GUESS WE'RE GOING TO JUST WAIT UNTIL WE'RE AT A HUNDRED PERCENT, UH, CAPACITY OR ABLE TO, TO OPEN UP AND THEN YOU'LL BE OPENING UP ALL CLINICS. 
          ARE YOU HAVE, Y'ALL DISCUSS WHAT THE PLAN IS OF HOW YOU ARE GOING TO BE OPENING UP THE CLINIC. 
          WE'RE WORKING ON THAT AS WE SPEAK. 
          I THINK OUR APH AND HR DEPARTMENT IS ALSO WORKING ON, ARE WE INTEGRATION PLAN FOLLOWING GUIDANCE FROM THE CITY MANAGER WHEN WE GET TO GO AHEAD, BUT WE DEFINITELY ARE IN THE PLANNING STAGES. 
          SO THE CASE MANAGEMENT THAT YOU ARE PROVIDING IS THAT, UH, THROUGH THE NUMBER THAT YOU'VE GIVEN ME, UH, FOR THE RATS FOR DIFFERENT SWINGS FACILITIES, THAT'S THE CASE MANAGEMENT FOR WRAPAROUND SERVICES AS WELL AS WELL. 
          OKAY. 
          JUST WANT TO GET THAT CLEARED. 
          ANOTHER THING I WANT TO BRING UP IS, UM, I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHEN AN ELECTION AND IT KILLED FOR THE SEAT OF BLACK PLAN, UH, AREA ROSEWOOD AREA, UH, TO MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT THAT SEAT STILL VACANT, THAT IT IS STILL VACANT. 
          AND I HAD THAT NACD REACH OUT TO ME A COUPLE OF DAYS AGO TO DISCUSS THAT. 
          SO I'LL BE REACHING OUT TO THEM AND TALKING TO THEM ABOUT GETTING THAT ELECTION PLANNED. 
          OKAY. 
          CAUSE, UM, I WANT TO SAY THAT WE'VE BEEN WITHOUT, WE'VE BEEN AT, HAD A VACANCY FOR QUITE SOME TIME NOW AND THE AREA IN THAT, UM, SPECIFICALLY IN THE BLACKLINE COMMUNITY AND ROSEWOOD AREA IS HIGHLY GENTRIFIED RIGHT NOW. 
          UM, AND I HAVE NO REPRESENTATION, UH, TO ASSIST ME IN EAST AUSTIN. 
          UM, AND SO I FEEL THAT I'VE BEEN OVERSIGHTING THAT AREA AS WELL. 
          UM, UM, THERE'S A LOT OF COMPLAINTS, A LOT OF CONCERNS THAT HAVE BEEN EMAILED AND BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION, UM, ESPECIALLY WITH THE BLACK MAN COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION. 
          UM, THERE'S A LOT OF THINGS THAT HAVE BEEN CHANGED. 
          THERE'S A LOT OF PEOPLE IN MANAGEMENT OVER THERE, UM, AND PEOPLE DON'T HAVE ANY DIRECTION NOR DO THEY HAVE ANY REPRESENTATION. 
          SO THEY'RE UNDERSERVED AT THIS TIME. 
          AND SO WE NEED TO MAKE THAT I'VE PROBABLY OR RECEIVED TO GET THAT POSITION, UM, AND TO GET SOMEBODY ELECTED BEFORE THE END OF THE YEAR, I'M HOPING, UM, IF WE CAN GET THAT WORD OUT THERE, UM, AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. 
          SO I WANTED TO BRING THAT TO YOUR ATTENTION TODAY AND HAVE THAT ON THE RECORD. 
          AND SO MY NOTES, I THINK THAT, UM, THAT'S REALLY ABOUT IT AT THIS AT THIS MOMENT. 
          THANK YOU. 
          THANKS COMMISSIONER. 
          UM, COMMISSIONER, IS 
          [00:55:01]
ANYONE ELSE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR ANGEL? NO, THERE'S COMMISSIONER IT'S OLIVER. 
          MR DOLLIVER PLEASE. 
          UH, I LIKE TO ASK HIM, UH, WITH, UH, HIS SERVICES HAS BEEN SUPPLYING FACE MASK, HAND SANITIZER, AND ANYTHING ELSE TO THE WARRANTS THAT COMES IN FOR THE FORT. 
          WE, UH, WE DON'T HAVE THE PUBLIC COMING INTO OUR CENTERS THAT ARE CLOSED. 
          SO I KNOW THAT I KNOW THAT THE ONLY PP THAT WE PROVIDE US, THE STAFF, BUT I KNOW THAT AUSTIN PUBLIC HEALTH HAS BEEN DOING A LOT OF EVENTS AND PROVIDING PPE TO THE PUBLIC WRITING PROJECTS ON THE APH WEBSITE, OR Y'ALL HELPING OUT IN THAT FARM AND FASHION. 
          WE ARE NOT, WE ARE FOCUSING ON THE RENT AND UTILITIES, THE FOOD CURBSIDE FOOD PANTRY, CURBSIDE PICKUP, AND OUR PUBLIC HEALTH NURSES ARE DEDICATED TO THE HOTLINE. 
          SO OTHER STAFF IN OTHER DEPARTMENTS ARE DOING THAT WORK. 
          OKAY. 
          SO WHAT I'M TRYING TO FIND OUT IS YOU'RE SAYING THAT YOUR FUNDING WITH UTILITIES AND RENT AND FOOD, IS THAT RIGHT? THAT'S RIGHT. 
          OKAY. 
          ALL RIGHT. 
          NOW I UNDERSTAND. 
          THANKS COMMISSIONER TO OLIVER. 
          UM, AND IN ANGEL, UM, I KNOW YOU'RE EXPECTING SOME ACTION FROM THE COMMISSION ON THIS. 
          I MEAN, OBVIOUSLY YOU'RE LOOKING FOR APPROVAL OF THIS, OF THIS PLAN, IDEALLY. 
          YEAH. 
          BASICALLY THAT'S WHAT THE STATE SAID, PREVENT THE PRESIDENT, THE FIVE GOALS YOU GUYS APPROVE THEM. 
          AND THEN I THINK LISA MAKES A NOTE IN THE MINUTES AND THAT'S WHAT I NEED TO SUBMIT TO THE ESTATE. 
          RIGHT. 
          SO COMMISSIONERS, DO YOU HAVE ANY MORE QUESTIONS SPECIFICALLY ABOUT THE GOALS PRESENTED IN THE STRATEGIC PLAN? UM, THIS IS COMMISSIONER MOTWANI AND, UM, JUST AROUND THE GOALS WITH RESPECT TO EVICTION, UH, RELATED GOALS. 
          AND OF COURSE, UM, YOU KNOW, YOU IDENTIFIED THAT THE NEEDS ASSESSMENT CLEARLY SHOWS THAT HOUSING IS THE GREATEST NEED. 
          UH, AND, UH, YOU MENTIONED ALSO I THINK THAT THERE WOULD BE LIKE ONE POINT X MILLION, 1.1, I THINK, UH, THAT WOULD BE LEVERAGED TO HELP AVOID EVICTIONS. 
          UM, AS WELL AS SOME DOLLARS THAT WOULD BE USED EXTRA GOT WITH THE AMOUNT WAS, I THINK IT WAS $35,000. 
          MAYBE IT WAS JUST THIS MONTH THAT WAS GOING TO BE USED FOR UTILITIES. 
          UM, UH, YES. 
          IS, IS THERE A, SO JUST REALLY, UH, YOU KNOW, THE, THOSE ARE CARE'S DOLLARS. 
          CAN YOU SPEAK A LITTLE BIT AND JUST REALLY QUICKLY, I DON'T MEAN TO BELABOR IT. 
          I'M JUST REALLY CURIOUS ABOUT, UH, WHAT, WHAT IS THE, IS THE PROCESS THE SAME AS THE OTHER RENT ALLEVIATION AND UTILITIES, UH, BURDEN, ALLEVIATION, UH, TOOLS THAT ARE OUT THERE, MEANING THE REN T PROGRAM AND THE CAP PROGRAM, OR IS IT A LITTLE BIT FASTER AND EASIER GOING TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD CENTER OR ARE YOU USING BASICALLY THE SAME MEANS THE SAME VEHICLE? I THINK IT'S PRETTY SIMILAR. 
          I MEAN, THE ELIGIBILITY FOR US AS A HUNDRED AND, UH, SORRY, THEY INCREASE IT 200% FEDERAL POVERTY INCOME LEVEL. 
          UM, COVID RELATED CRISIS IN TERMS OF A CRISIS AND LIVING IN THE, YOU KNOW, OBVIOUSLY IN THE AREA, THE CITY OF AUSTIN, SO THAT THE ELIGIBILITY I THINK IS SIMILAR, THE PROCESS, WE HAVE OUR OWN PROCESS. 
          UM, IT'S, I DON'T THINK IT'S EITHER FASTER OR LESS FAST AND THE CITIES OTHER, OKAY, WELL, I'M ACTUALLY GOING TO PORTLAND IN THE INTEREST OF TIME. 
          I'M GOING TO INTERRUPT YOU RIGHT THERE. 
          AND SO, YOU KNOW, IF IT'S NOT FASTER OR LESS FAST, DOES IT MEAN BASICALLY THAT FOR RENT, THE RENT IS PAID DIRECTLY TO LANDLORDS AND FOR UTILITIES, UM, THE, BASICALLY THE UTILITY, UH, REDUCTION IS DONE ON THE PART OF AUSTIN ENERGY, RIGHT? YES. 
          CORRECT. 
          UM, AND WOULD THERE BE AVENUE FOR YOU TO BE ABLE TO GET THOSE DOLLARS DIRECTLY INTO THE HANDS OF THE FOLKS THAT MAYBE MAKE IT FASTER OR IS THAT YOU'RE PRETTY LIMITED TO THAT. 
          OKAY, GREAT. 
          THAT'S MY LAST QUESTION. 
          OKAY. 
          THANK YOU. 
          THANKS COMMISSIONER. 
          MY WHINY. 
          UM, OKAY. 
          UM, IF WE DON'T HAVE ANY MORE QUESTIONS FOR ANGEL, I THINK WE NEED TO CONSIDER APPROVING THE GOALS AS THEY ARE FOR WE'RE DONE. 
          COMMISSIONER COMMISSIONER  HAS MADE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE STRATEGIC PLAN CHAIR.

          HERE WE GO. 
          LOOKS LIKE WE CAN'T HEAR ANYTHING I FEEL OR TRYING TO TALK. 
          I DON'T KNOW IF YOU ARE, BUT WE DON'T HEAR ANYTHING. 
          KIMBERLY MUTED.

          SORRY. 
          I COULDN'T GET THAT COMPLETED. 
          OH, OKAY. 
          OKAY. 
          THAT'S QUITE QUITE BIT. 
          THERE'S QUITE A BIT OF EXCESS. 
          UH, IF EVERYONE, IF THERE'S MORE TALKING, GO AHEAD AND MUTE AND I'M GOING TO MUTE MYSELF. 
          OKAY. 
          IS THAT BETTER? IT'S A, IT'S A LITTLE BETTER. 
          AS LONG AS EVERYONE ELSE'S MADE. 
          I THINK IT WILL BE FINE. 
          OKAY. 
          UM, SO THANK YOU, Y'ALL FOR HAVING ME THIS AFTERNOON ON YOUR AGENDA. 
          UM, WHAT YOU SEE IN FRONT OF YOU IS THE POWERPOINT THAT WE ACTUALLY WILL BE GIVING TO THE PUBLIC STARTING ON THE 15TH AND THE 17TH FOR OUR FIRST VIRTUAL PUBLIC MEETING FOR THIS PROJECT FOR DOVE SPRINGS. 
          UM, BUT WE ALSO ARE ENGAGING ON REGULAR BASIS WITH THREE MAJOR, UH, COMMISSIONS AND BOARDS. 
          ONE OF WHICH IS A COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION, BUT ALSO THE EARLY CHILDHOOD COMMISSION AND THE PARKS BOARD, ALL THREE OF YOU HAVE A VERY, UM, INTEGRAL STAKE IN THIS PROJECT. 
          WE WANT TO BE SURE THAT YOU'RE ALL UP TO DATE ON WHAT'S HAPPENING. 
          SO YOU WERE ACTUALLY THE FIRST TO SEE THIS BECAUSE YOU WERE THE FIRST ONE SCHEDULE ON THE CALENDAR. 
          SO, UM, YOU CAN GO TO THE NEXT SLIDE. 
          SO JUST AS A QUICK RECAP OF WHAT WE'VE ACCOMPLISHED SO FAR FOR THIS PROJECT, THIS WAS A 2018 BOND PROJECT, UM, THAT WAS APPROVED BY THE VOTERS. 
          UM, IT, WE WERE ABLE TO HIRE A CONSULTANT TO DO ALL OF THE PRELIMINARY SITE ANALYSIS, CHOOSE AN ACTUAL SITE AND GO THROUGH A LOT OF THE TECHNICAL, UM, STUDIES THAT HAVE TO BE DONE, WATERSHED AND FLOOD PLAIN, UM, SURVEYS AND WHATNOT. 
          AND WE ALSO WENT THROUGH THE CHAPTER 26 PROCESS FOR USE OF PARKLAND. 
          THE SITE THAT WAS CHOSEN, UM, WAS PARKLAND. 
          UM, AND SO WE DID GO THROUGH AN APPROVAL PROCESS THAT GOES THROUGH THE PARKS BOARD AND THE CITY COUNCIL TO HAVE, UH, SEVERAL ACRES OF PARKLAND, DESIGNATED AND REZONED TO, UM, P PUBLIC, UM, SO THAT IT COULD, WE COULD BUILD A PERMANENT FACILITY ON IT. 
          IT IS ADJACENT TO THE DEATH SPRINGS DISTRICT PARK, UM, AND JUST, UM, RIGHT NEXT DOOR TO THE, UH, BEST SPRINGS REC CENTER. 
          WE ARE CURRENTLY, UM, WE HAVE HIRED SPA GLASS THROUGH A COMPETITIVE PROCESS AS THE DESIGN BUILDER FOR THE PROJECT. 
          AND WE ARE CURRENTLY IN THE SCHEMATIC DESIGN PHASE, WHICH MEANS WE'RE WORKING WITH THE PUBLIC TO DETERMINE WHAT THE ACTUAL FACILITY'S GOING TO LOOK LIKE, UM, DIFFERENT FEATURES OF IT. 
          AND THAT'S WHAT THIS PRESENTATION IS REALLY ABOUT BECAUSE THIS IS THE FIRST REALLY MORE DETAILED LOOK WE'RE ASKING THE PUBLIC FOR FEEDBACK ON, ON THIS PROJECT. 
          [01:05:01]
SO, UM, WHAT'S GOING TO BE HOUSED IN THIS FACILITY, FULL SERVICE NEIGHBORHOOD CENTER Y'ALL ARE VERY FAMILIAR WITH THAT, UM, WHICH WE CURRENTLY DON'T HAVE IN THE DOVE SPRINGS NEIGHBORHOOD. 
          SO IT'S VERY EXCITING, UM, FOR US TO BE ABLE TO EXPAND THOSE SERVICES FULL TIME INTO DOVE SPRINGS, I'M A WOMAN INFANT AND CHILDREN'S CLINIC. 
          THIS CLINIC WILL ACTUALLY BE RELOCATED FROM ITS CURRENT LOCATION AT  AND WAYNE CANNON, UH, IMMUNIZATIONS CLINIC, WHICH HAS SHOTS FOR TOTS AND BIG SHOTS, WHICH IS FOR ADULTS, UM, WHICH IS GOING TO BE RELOCATED FROM  AND STASSNEY, WHICH IS ON THE WEST SIDE OF , BUT A LARGE NUMBER OF FOLKS WHO USE THAT CLINIC FOR IMMUNIZATIONS ARE FROM THE DOVE SPRINGS AREA. 
          AND SO RELOCATING THAT, UM, INTO THE DOVE SPRINGS AREA, WE'RE ALSO GOING TO HAVE A HIGH QUALITY CHILDCARE CENTER IN THE FACILITY, UM, THAT WE ARE, WE'LL BE WORKING TO, UM, FOCUS THOSE SERVICES, UH, TO FOLKS WITH SUBSIDIES. 
          UH, WE'RE HOPING TO HAVE FUNDING FOR ADDITIONAL SUBSIDIES, BE ADDED TO BE ABLE TO, UH, DO A LARGE PORTION OF THE SLOTS OF THAT CHILDCARE CENTER TO BE SUBSIDIZED CHILDCARE. 
          UM, WE'RE ALSO HAVING MULTIPURPOSE SPACE AND A COMMERCIAL KITCHEN THAT'LL BE OPEN FOR COMMUNITY USE. 
          UH, WE ARE AS PART OF OUR MITIGATION FOR TAKING, UH, PARKS LAND. 
          UM, WE ARE CONSTRUCTING YOUTH SOCCER FIELDS ON THE PROPERTY, UM, INCLUDING IRRIGATION AND, AND, UH, STANDS AND, UM, ALL THE, ALL THE FUNDS YEAH. 
          STUFF THAT, THAT THAT'S ACTUALLY BEING BUILT ON PARKLAND, BUT IT'S ADJACENT TO OUR FACILITY AREA. 
          UM, AND THEN WE ARE CONSTRUCTING TRAILS THAT WILL CONNECT THE EXISTING DISTRICT PARK TRAILS INTO THE ADJACENT NEIGHBORHOOD. 
          NEXT SLIDE PLEASE. 
          TODAY. 
          UM, WE OBVIOUSLY DID BE, UM, THE FALL 2018 OUTREACH, UM, COORDINATED WITH THE BOND DEVELOPMENT PROJECT. 
          UH, WE HAD OUR FIRST MEETING WITH COMMUNITY LEADERS IN APRIL OF 2019. 
          WE HAD OUR FIRST PUBLIC MEETING IN JUNE OF 2019. 
          UH, WE'VE HAD A SPEAK-UP AUSTIN SURVEY THAT WAS OUT, UH, LAST SPRING. 
          UM, AND THEN, UH, OUR ANOTHER PUBLIC MEETING WAS HELD ON SEPTEMBER 21ST, 2019 AT THE BRANCH LIBRARY WHERE WE GOT SPECIFIC FEEDBACK ABOUT WHAT TYPE OF BUILDER OR CONTRACTORS THAT THE COMMUNITY WANTED AND WHAT TYPE OF, UH, SPECIFICATIONS THEY WANTED, UM, TO BE SURE THE BUILDER COULD, COULD DO. 
          UM, WE ALSO CREATED A TASK FORCE, UH, COMMUNITY LEADERS, UH, IN THE SPRING OF 2020 TO HELP US INCREASE OUR COMMUNITY PARTICIPATION AND ALSO TO STAY AS CONNECTED TO THE, UM, COMMUNITY AS WE CAN THROUGHOUT THE PROCESS OF DESIGNING AND CONSTRUCTING THIS FACILITY THAT TASKFORCE HAS MET SEVERAL TIMES, WE'RE MEETING ONCE A MONTH. 
          AT THIS POINT, IT HAS, UM, REPRESENTATION FROM THE THREE BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS THAT I TALKED ABOUT EARLIER, AS WELL AS, UH, REPRESENTATION FROM SEVERAL KEY STAKEHOLDER GROUPS THAT WORK ON SPECIFICALLY IN THE DOVE SPRINGS AREA. 
          NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE. 
          THIS IS JUST A LISTING OF THE, OF THE TASK FORCE MEMBERS FOR YOUR, UH, UH, PERUSAL. 
          AND WE'VE HAD SOME REALLY GREAT MEETINGS, GREAT DISCUSSION ON THIS TASKFORCE HAS BEEN A GREAT ASSET TO THE PROJECT SO FAR, AND I EXPECT IT TO CONTINUE THAT WAY, UH, THROUGHOUT THE COMPLETION OF THE PROJECT. 
          SO ON THE ORIGINAL FEEDBACK MEETING WE HAD BACK IN JUNE OF 2019, THE COMMUNITY TOLD US THAT THEY WANTED THEIR FACILITY TO REPRESENT NEIGHBORHOOD, COMMUNITY, FAMILY, AND WELCOMING. 
          THOSE ARE THE WORDS THEY WANT TO BE ABLE TO ASSOCIATE WHEN THEY SEE THIS BUILDING NEXT SLIDE. 
          UM, AND THEN THESE ARE, UM, THE TOP CHOICES, UH, FOR TYPES OF BUILDING WAS A MODERN STYLE. 
          THEY WOULD LIKE METAL TYPE PANELING, UH, MATERIALS, WHICH IS VERY CONSISTENT WITH MODERN STYLING, UH, STANDING SEAM ROOF. 
          WE GAVE THEM SEVERAL PICTURES OF DIFFERENT TYPES OF, UM, CONSTRUCTION AND DIFFERENT TYPES OF MATERIALS. 
          AND THEY WERE VERY, THE HIGHEST VOTE GETTER FOR A GREEN ELEMENT IS SOLAR PANELS, WHICH YES, WE WILL HAVE SIGNIFICANT, UM, GREEN FEATURES IN THIS FACILITY, INCLUDING SOLAR PANELS. 
          NEXT SLIDE PLEASE. 
          AND THEN THESE ARE JUST SOME PICTURES OF OUR TWO PUBLIC MEETINGS THAT WE WERE ABLE TO HAVE RECOVERED. 
          UM, NEXT SLIDE. 
          THIS IS THE PROJECT SITE. 
          SO TO ORIENT YOU, THE SMALL GREEN ROOF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE PICTURE IS THE DOVE SPRINGS RECREATION CENTER. 
          UH, THE PROJECT SITE IS JUST ABOVE THAT, 
          [01:10:01]
UM, JUST TO THE EAST OF THAT. 
          UM, AND THE, UH, ELEMENTARY SCHOOL AND MIDDLE SCHOOL ARE THE TWO BLUE ROOFS. 
          UM, SO THAT JUST KINDA GIVES YOU AN IDEA OF THE PROJECT IS IT HAS BEEN GIVEN THE ADDRESS OF 58, 11 PALO BLANCO LANE. 
          UM, AND THE ENTRANCE WILL BE WHERE PALO BLANCO AND NEZ, UH, CONNECT. 
          NEXT SLIDE PLEASE. 
          SO THE BIGGEST POINT OF THIS, THIS NEXT, UM, PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT IS TO ASK THE COMMUNITY WHAT FOOTPRINT THEY PREFER. 
          SO OUR ARCHITECTS HAVE DONE SEVERAL, UH, TWO DIFFERENT ITERATIONS OF HOW THE BUILDING COULD SIT ON THE PROPERTY. 
          UH, OBVIOUSLY THE BIGGEST CONSIDERATION IS WE WANT TO KEEP A PARK LIKE A, UH, ENVIRONMENT. 
          UM, WE DO, WE WANT THE BUILDING TO, TO BE A, UM, ASSET TO THE PARK. 
          THAT'S JUST ADJACENT TO IT AND NOT DETRACT FROM IT. 
          ALSO, WE WANT TO SAVE AS MANY TREES AS POSSIBLE AND NOT TO DISTURB. 
          THERE ARE SEVERAL LARGE TREES ON THIS PROPERTY AND WE DO, WE WANT TO CONSTRUCT THE BUILDING IN A WAY THAT DOES NOT THOSE LARGE TREES. 
          SO THIS IS OPTION NUMBER ONE. 
          UM, AND IT'S, IT'S MORE ABOUT THE FOOTPRINT OF THE BUILDING, UM, AND WHERE SOME OF THE OTHER ASSETS ARE. 
          SO YOU'LL SEE THAT THERE'S, UM, A LARGE, THIS'LL BE A TWO STORY BUILDING. 
          UM, THE BLUE, IT WOULD BE THE LARGE CHUNK OF YOUR CENTER. 
          UH, WE'RE ESTIMATING AROUND 74. 
          CHILDREN WILL BE ABLE TO BE SERVED AT VARIOUS AGES FROM INFANT, UM, THROUGH, UH, PRE-K THREE, UH, AND THEN AUSTIN PUBLIC HEALTH WOULD BE, UM, ON THE OTHER SIDE, IN A TWO STORY, THE CHILDCARE CENTER IS ONE STORY. 
          THE OTHER SIDE OF AUSTIN PUBLIC HEALTH WOULD BE A TWO STORY. 
          UM, THERE WOULD BE OBVIOUSLY PARKING THE PUBLIC PLAYGROUND. 
          WE ARE PUTTING THAT THERE BECAUSE THE PLAYGROUNDS ARE LEARNING AREAS, OUTDOOR LEARNING AREAS THAT ARE ATTACHED TO THE CHILDCARE CENTER CANNOT BE OPEN TO THE PUBLIC. 
          THEY NEED TO BE, UM, FOR THE YOUTH SIMPLY OF THE CENTER. 
          SO WE ARE GOING TO CONSTRUCT A, A PLAYGROUND TYPE AREA, UM, FOR PUBLIC USE. 
          UM, AND THEN WE'LL HAVE A SHADED PAVILION AND YOU'LL SEE THE SOCCER FIELDS ORIENTATION, AND THEN THE BIOFILTER FILTRATION. 
          PONDING IS A WATER QUALITY, UM, FEATURE THAT WE'RE REQUIRED TO HAVE FOR THIS SITE. 
          SO THIS IS OPTION ONE FOOTPRINT, NEXT SLIDE. 
          SO THIS JUST SHOWS YOU A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE, THE TWO STORIES AND WHAT PROGRAMS WOULD BE WHERE A WOMEN INFANT AND CHILDREN'S WOULD BE ON THE FIRST FLOOR ON THE SECOND FLOOR WOULD BE THE NEIGHBORHOOD CENTER AND THE IMMUNIZATIONS CLINIC, UM, AND ALSO OUR COMMUNITY, UM, YOUTH DEVELOPMENT STAFFING, WHICH IS A SPECIAL PROGRAM FROM DSPS, UH, FOR, UH, YOUTH IN THE FOUR, FOUR ZIP CODE OPTION. 
          TWO IS A LITTLE MORE OF A V A LITTLE DIFFERENT, UM, ORIENTATION OF THE BUILDING. 
          UM, SAME FEATURES, SAME, UM, PLACEMENT OF PROGRAMMING, UH, JUST A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT FEEL OF THE BUILDINGS, UM, SHAPE ALL THE OTHER ELEMENTS ARE THE SAME, UM, AS FAR AS THE SOCCER FIELDS AND THE PAVILION AND THE WATER QUALITY AND PARKING AND WHATNOT. 
          NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE. 
          AND THIS JUST SHOWS YOU THE, AGAIN, THE, THE PLACEMENT OF PROGRAMMING ON THE FIRST AND SECOND FLOORS OF OPTION TO EXCITE. 
          SO WE WILL HAVE QUITE A FEW GREEN FEATURES IN THE FACILITY. 
          UM, THE CITY BY BY COUNCIL ORDINANCE IS REQUIRED TO ACHIEVE LEAD SILVER CORP CERTIFICATION FOR ANY CONSTRUCTION PROJECT ON THE FACILITY. 
          UM, SO TO ACHIEVE THAT, WE WILL HAVE SOLAR PANELS. 
          WE WILL HAVE RAINWATER COLLECTION, UM, EVERYWHERE WE CAN, WE ARE GOING TO USE, UM, PERVIOUS PAVEMENT OR PAVERS FOR THE PARKING LOT. 
          SO NOT A WHOLE BUNCH OF CONCRETE, UM, THAT, THAT WE WANT THINGS THAT THE WATER CAN FILTRATE THROUGH WHILE RAIN GARDENS AND A LOT OF COLORFUL NATIVE PLANTS, EXCUSE ME. 
          AND, AND AS I SAID BEFORE, UH, PROTECTION OF THE EXISTING TREES, UM, AND THIS IS A PICTURE OF A, OF A RAIN GARDEN TYPE AREA THAT WE'VE DONE AT ANOTHER FACILITY. 
          SO THIS IS KIND OF AN EXAMPLE OF WHAT SOME OF THE RAIN GARDEN AREAS ADJACENT TO THE PARKING MIGHT LOOK LIKE. 
          NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE. 
          MMM. 
          SOME IMAGES WERE GIVING FOR THE PUBLIC TO UNDERSTAND THIS IS KIND OF A MODERN, A MODERN FACILITY. 
          LOOK, NEXT SLIDE. 
          SO OUR TIMELINE, SO WE HAVE COMPLETED THE PRELIMINARY PHASE. 
          WE PROCREATE COMPLETED THE DESIGN CRITERIA MANUAL, WHICH IS REQUIRED TO GO OUT FOR BID FOR A DESIGN BUILDER. 
          WE HAVE PROCURED OUR DESIGN BUILDER, WHICH IS SPYGLASS. 
          SO WE'RE CURRENTLY IN OUR FACILITY DESIGN AND PERMITTING, WHICH SHOULD BE DONE BY NEXT SPRING. 
          [01:15:01]
UM, WE WILL GO TO COUNCIL FOR WHAT THEY CALL THE GUARANTEED MAXIMUM PRICE, WHICH IS THE BUILDER GIVING US THE ACTUAL CONSTRUCTION PRICE BASED ON THE DESIGN THAT WE'VE, UM, APPROVED AND THEN CONSTRUCTION SHOULD START NEXT FALL, UM, AND BE COMPLETED BY SPRING OF 2023. 
          NEXT SLIDE PLEASE. 
          UM, THIS IS A SECTION IN THE PRESENTATION ON ARTS AND PUBLIC PLACES. 
          THIS IS A SEPARATE, A SEPARATE, UM, PROCESS THAT HAPPENS PARALLEL TO OUR DESIGN PROCESS. 
          NEXT SLIDE. 
          SO THERE'LL BE WORKING, UH, ARTS AND PUBLIC PLACES. 
          STAFF WILL BE WORKING WITH THE COMMUNITY. 
          UM, THERE'S A LARGE AMOUNT OF MONEY IN THIS PROJECT FOR ART AND PUBLIC PLACES, UM, PROJECTS, UM, MUCH LIKE THERE WAS FROM ON TOP OF US. 
          UM, AND SO THIS IS A PICTURE HERE OF THE WOMEN AND CHILDREN'S SHELTER, ART AND PUBLIC PLACES, UH, PROJECT THAT WE HAD A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO THAT USED THE PLAYGROUND, UM, IN THE LEARNING OUTDOOR LEARNING AREA, UM, FOR THE ART, WHICH IS SOMETHING WE'D LIKE TO DO IN THIS PROJECT AS WELL. 
          MMM. 
          NEXT SLIDE PLEASE. 
          MMM. 
          AND SO THIS IS JUST THE, THE PROCESS FOR THE ART IN PUBLIC PLACES. 
          IT'S VERY COMMUNITY BASED. 
          UH, THE COMMUNITY REALLY DRIVES THIS PROCESS ALONG WITH THE ARTS COMMISSION. 
          NEXT SLIDE PLEASE. 
          AND THEIR TIMELINE FOR THE ARTWORK WILL PARALLEL HOURS. 
          SO THEY ARE RIGHT NOW STARTING THEIR ENGAGEMENT WITH THE COMMUNITY ON WHAT THEY WOULD LIKE TO SEE. 
          UM, AND THEN INSTALLATIONS WILL HAPPEN, UH, AS OUR CONSTRUCTION GETS CLOSER TO BEING FINISHED AND WILL BE COMPLETED BY SPRING OF 2023. 
          NEXT SLIDE PLEASE. 
          SO WHAT IS NEXT? SO WE'LL, WE'LL FINISH OUR SCHEMATIC DESIGN WITH THE COMMUNITY. 
          UM, WE WILL HAVE, UH, DIFFERENT BOARDS AS WE GET FURTHER ALONG PROBABLY LATER IN THE YEAR. 
          WE'LL HAVE MORE RENDERINGS THAT REALLY, THIS IS WHAT WE'RE THINKING. 
          THE BUILDING MIGHT LOOK LIKE, GET FEEDBACK ON THOSE, INCORPORATE THOSE COMMENTS TO FINALIZE THE DESIGN. 
          UM, AND THEN, UM, PRESENT THE FINAL DESIGN IN SPRING. 
          NEXT SLIDE PLEASE. 
          UM, THESE ARE JUST IMAGES OF THE PROPERTY AT CURRENT, AND THIS IS ACTUALLY A PICTURE OF CITY HALL, BUT IT'S A, UM, THE GREAT EXAMPLE OF SOME OF THE BUILDINGS THAT THE CITY HAS DONE. 
          UM, AND I'LL BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS FOR YOU. 
          THANK YOU SO MUCH. 
          YOU CAN REALLY, UM, COMMISSIONERS, WE ARE NOT REALLY SET FOR DISCUSSION TO THIS ITEM, PARTICULARLY IT WAS AN UPDATE, BUT IF SOMEBODY HAS ANY QUICK QUESTIONS THAT THEY, THEY MIGHT WANT TO ASK, UH, FIRST WEEK, I WANT TO SAY WE REALLY APPRECIATE THE, UH, THE UPDATE HERE ON, ON THE PROGRESS. 
          UH, KIMBERLY, THANK YOU. 
          OH, PLEASE GO AHEAD. 
          I DON'T HAVE ANY QUESTIONS. 
          I JUST WANTED TO ADD, UM, WHEN WE TALKED ABOUT THE ART COMPONENT, UM, AND I KNOW THAT THAT IS THROUGH ARTS AND PUBLIC PLACES AND THROUGH THE PARKS DEPARTMENT AND ALL OF YOU ALL WORK TOGETHER, AND THAT'S REALLY GREAT. 
          THIS IS AWESOME TO HEAR. 
          I'M SO EXCITED ABOUT THE REC AND ALL THE GOOD THINGS THAT ARE COMING. 
          I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THE ART, UM, IF WE CAN PUT ON THE RECORD FOR YOUR NOTES AND YOU CAN TAKE THIS BACK TO THE ENGINEERS OR ARCHITECTS OR CONSULTANTS, UM, THAT THE ART, THE, UM, A REFLECTION OF THE DEB SPRINGS COMMUNITY, UM, AND THAT WE ALSO ARE GIVING THE OPPORTUNITY TO THE DEB SPRINGS ARTISTS IN SOUTH AUSTIN, ARTISTS THAT HAVE, UM, NEVER HAD, HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO BE A PART OF A CITY PROJECT AND A COMMISSION PROJECT. 
          UM, SO THE OPPORTUNITY SOUNDS VERY, VERY GREAT. 
          I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT NO, AT A CITY OR AT A STATE ARTISTS ARE COMING IN AND TAKING ADVANTAGE OF THOSE OPPORTUNITIES, THAT THOSE OPPORTUNITIES ARE GIVEN TO THE LOCAL ARTISTS AND THE DEB SPRINGS AREA THAT HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR AN OPPORTUNITY LIKE THIS ON THE LIFETIME, AND THAT THE ART SYMBOLIZES, UM, THE DEB SPRINGS COMMUNITY AND THE REFLECTION OF THE PEOPLE THAT LIVE IN THAT COMMUNITY. 
          THANK YOU, EXHIBITION. 
          OKAY. 
          UM, THANKS AGAIN, KIMBERLY. 
          UM, WE APPRECIATE THE UPDATE ON THE DOVE SPRINGS FACILITY, UM, COMMISSIONERS. 
          WE ARE GOING TO CONTINUE ALONG THE TIME CHECK. 
          UH, IT IS FOUR 30. 
          WE DO HAVE UNTIL FIVE, IF WE NEED, UH, 
          [01:20:01]
WE ONLY HAVE TWO MORE ITEMS LEFT. 
          WE ARE NOW MOVING TO ITEM FOUR 
          [4B. Presentation on the Austin Community Climate Plan 2020 Revision (Zach Baumer, Climate Program Manager, Office of Sustainability)]
B PRESENTATION ON THE AUSTIN COMMUNITY CLIMATE PLAN, 2020 REVISION, ZACH BOMBER, THE CLIMATE PROGRAM MANAGER FOR THE OFFICE OF SUSTAINABILITY. 
          YES, I'M HERE. 
          THIS IS ZACH BOMBER. 
          THANK YOU FOR HAVING US. 
          UM, ARE YOU GUYS GOING TO PULL UP THE SLIDE DECK OR DO YOU WANT ME TO SHARE MY SCREEN? YOU GOT IT. 
          WE'VE GOT IT. 
          YES. 
          PERFECT. 
          OKAY. 
          SO I KNOW YOU GUYS ARE SHORT ON TIME. 
          UM, SO I HAVE SALINE RUN DAWN FOR MY TEAM HERE WITH ME. 
          UM, WE ARE GOING TO GO THROUGH THE SLIDE DECK QUICKLY. 
          WE'RE GOING TO PROBABLY NOT REALLY COVER EVERYTHING. 
          UM, BUT WE'LL GIVE YOU, UH, MOST OF THE STORY, BUT AS QUICKLY AS WE CAN. 
          UM, AND THANK YOU TO, UH, PHYSIO WHO'S ON THIS COMMISSION WHO SERVES ON THE JOINT SUSTAINABILITY COMMITTEE AND HAS HELPED US WITH THE DIRECTION FOR THIS CLIMATE PLAN REVISION. 
          UM, AND WE'VE DONE SOME COLLABORATION WITH HER OVERTIME ON THIS, THIS TOPIC. 
          SO, UM, SO BASICALLY WE'RE JUST HERE TODAY TO PRESENT, UM, THIS, UH, DRAFT CLIMATE EQUITY PLAN, WHICH IS A FIVE YEAR REVISION OF THE WHOLE AUSTIN COMMUNITY CLIMATE PLAN, WHICH IS OUR CITY'S, UM, FULL EFFORT TO SORT OF ADDRESS EMISSIONS ASSOCIATED WITH CLIMATE CHANGE, UH, FOR THE LONGTERM. 
          EXCELLENT. 
          SO WE'VE IN THE PROCESS OF UPDATING THIS PLAN NOW FOR ABOUT A YEAR, UM, BECAUSE OF TIMING, ACTUALLY, THE PUBLIC COMMENT PERIOD ON THIS IS CLOSED. 
          IT WAS ACTUALLY A FULL MONTH OF NOVEMBER AND WE GOT THOUSANDS OF COMMENTS. 
          UM, SO WE WERE PROCESSING ALL THAT NOW AND LOOKING TO MAKE FINAL REVISIONS TO THIS PLAN. 
          AND IT LOOKS LIKE WE'RE AIMING TO GO TO THE NOVEMBER 12TH CITY PASADENA. 
          UM, THIS IS ACTUALLY THE 23RD COMMISSION THAT WOULD HAVE PRESENTED THIS PLAN TO 24TH. 
          ONE IS TONIGHT PRESENTED TO ALL PERMISSIONS TO, UM, SO WE'RE LOOKING FOR YOUR QUESTIONS, AREAS OF INTEREST, PLEDGES OF SUPPORT. 
          UH, IT'S KINDA HARD TO COVER THIS WHOLE TOPIC IN THIS WHOLE PLANNING EFFORT PROCESS, EVERYTHING IN HERE IN A SHORT AMOUNT OF TIME, BUT WE'LL HIT THE HIGHLIGHTS NEXT SLIDE. 
          SO THE ORIGINAL AUSTIN COMMUNITY CLIMATE PLAN THAT YOU CAN SEE THE TITLE PAGE HERE. 
          UM, THIS WAS GREAT. 
          IN 2015 CITY COUNCIL ESTABLISHED THE TARGET OF NET ZERO COMMUNITY-WIDE GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS BY 2050 BACK IN 2014, WHEN CITY COUNCIL ESTABLISHED THAT TARGET, THAT WAS A VISIONARY LOOK OVER THE COURSE OF THE NEXT 35 YEARS, COULD OUR CITY AND OUR ENTIRE COMMUNITY GET TO A PLACE WHERE WE'RE USING ZERO FOSSIL FUELS. 
          AND SO THIS INITIAL PLAN WAS CREATED IN 2014, 15. 
          WE WORK WITH ABOUT 50 STAKEHOLDERS AT THE TIME FROM THE COMMUNITY AND CITY STAFF TO CREATE THIS. 
          AND THIS PLAN HAS KIND OF BEEN UNDER IMPLEMENTATION FOR THE LAST FIVE WRITTEN INTO THIS AT THE FIVE YEAR. 
          MARK SAID THAT WE SHOULD DO A FULL REVISION OF THAT PROCESS. 
          SO THAT'S WHAT WE'VE BEEN DOING FOR THE LAST YEAR IS A COMPLETE UPDATE ON THIS PLAN. 
          EXCELLENT. 
          SO IT SHOULD BE SAID THAT, UM, WE HAVE SPENT A LOT OF TIME ON THE PROCESS. 
          I MEAN, A FULL DEDICATED YEAR OF, UM, 20 PLUS CITY STAFF FROM ABOUT 10 DEPARTMENTS OVER 120 COMMUNITY MEMBERS, UH, AMBASSADORS, EQUITY TRAININGS IN PUBLIC IN PERSON WORKSHOPS, UM, THOUSANDS OF HOURS OF DONATED TIME FROM THE COMMUNITY TO COLLABORATE AND CREATE THIS PLAN. 
          SO THIS WAS A REAL, LIKE THE COMMUNITY WAS INVITED IN TO REALLY WORK HAND IN HAND WITH US TO CREATE WHAT, UM, WHAT YOU'RE GOING TO SEE AND WHAT THIS BULLET POINTS NEXT SLIDE. 
          UH, THESE ARE THE STEERING COMMITTEE MEMBERS. 
          THE STEERING COMMITTEE WAS REALLY MY, UM, YOU KNOW, ME AS THE PROJECT MANAGER FOR THIS PROJECT. 
          LIKE THIS WAS MY BOARD OF DIRECTORS. 
          ALL OF THESE MEMBERS ARE COMMUNITY MEMBERS WHO DONATED THEIR TIME TO SERVE ON THIS GROUP THAT HAS MET EVERY OTHER WEEK WHERE I'M MEETING 23, UM, TO GIVE ME GUIDANCE, GIVE ME DIRECTION, UH, MAKE DECISIONS FOR THE PROCESS LIKE I'VE BEEN DOING WHAT THIS GROUP WANTS. 
          UM, SO THIS GROUP HAS REALLY BEEN KEY TO LIKE THE CREATION OF THIS PROCESS. 
          IT'S LIKE, SO WHEN WE GOT STARTED IN THIS PROCESS, I BECAME CRYSTAL CLEAR FROM GUIDANCE FROM THE EQUITY OFFICE GUIDANCE FROM THE JOINT SUSTAINABILITY 
          [01:25:01]
COMMITTEE, UM, AND GUIDANCE FROM THE INITIAL MEMBERS OF THAT STEERING COMMITTEE THAT WE NEEDED TO CENTER EQUITY AND RACIAL EQUITY AT THE CORE OF THIS PLANNING PROCESS. 
          AND WE HAD NEVER DONE ANYTHING LIKE THAT BEFORE. 
          AND SO WE SORT OF SET OFF ON THIS MISSION TO, UM, TO LEARN, TO WORK WITH THE EQUITY OFFICE, TO THINK ABOUT THE PAST. 
          THINK ABOUT THE HISTORY YOU THINK ABOUT THE REALITIES OF AUSTIN TODAY AND FIGURE OUT WHERE WAS THE INTERSECTION OF THE CONNECTION POINT BETWEEN EQUITY ISSUES AND FIND A CHANGE. 
          SO THIS GOES ALL THE WAY BACK TO THE 1928 MASTER PLAN AND ON SEGREGATION IN OUR CITY, ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE ISSUES IN OUR CITY, GENTRIFICATION ISSUES IN OUR CITY, UM, ON EQUAL ECONOMIC OUTCOMES ON EQUAL HEALTH OUTCOMES, ALL OF THIS IS RELATED TO ENERGY USAGE, IT'S ALL RELATED TO CLIMATE CHANGE. 
          UM, AND AS WE PEEL BACK THE LAYERS WARMER AND MORE, IT JUST BECAME CLEAR THAT, YOU KNOW, YOU REALLY COULDN'T HAVE A GOVERNMENT PLAN. 
          THAT'S FOCUSED ON FINDING CHANGE WITHOUT CENTERING, UH, THESE TOPICS IN THAT. 
          EXCELLENT. 
          SO AT THE CORE OF THIS THOUGH, UM, IT'S A PLAN TO ADDRESS THE EMISSIONS ASSOCIATED WITH CAUSING CLIMATE CHANGE, RIGHT? WE BRING OIL, COAL AND NATURAL GAS EVER SINCE THE INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION, UM, GLOBALLY WE'RE MANY BILLIONS, YOU KNOW, SICK, 50 BILLION, TONS OF CO2 EVERY SINGLE YEAR NOW, UH, GLOBAL EMISSIONS HAVE NOT STARTED TO COME DOWN. 
          THE CLIMATE HAS ALREADY STARTED CHANGE. 
          LIKE WE ARE NOT IN A GOOD SPOT WITH CLIMATE CHANGE GLOBALLY. 
          AND THERE IS, YOU KNOW, AN URGENT NEED FOR ACTION. 
          UM, SO THAT'S SORT OF, WHAT'S REFLECTED IN THIS PLAN. 
          IT'S LIKE OUR CITY AND OUR COMMUNITY'S RESPONSE TO HOW ARE WE GOING TO MAKE AN IMPACT AND MAKE A DIFFERENCE AND DO IT IN A WAY THAT LIKE RESPECTS OR SIDNEY IN IT WORKS FOR US. 
          AND THAT'S LIKE, SO THE OTHER TIME WITH CLIMATE CHANGE IS HOW THE CLIMATE IS GOING TO CHANGE AND HOW THAT AFFECTS OUR COMMUNITY AND HOW THAT'S RELATED TO EQUITY. 
          SO EXTREME HEAT, DROUGHT, WILDFIRE, UH, FLASH FLOODING. 
          THESE ARE, THIS IS HOW CLIMATE CHANGE WILL MANIFEST ITSELF IN THE AUSTIN AREA. 
          AND ALL OF THESE THINGS DISPROPORTIONATELY AFFECTS LOW INCOME COMMUNITIES AND COMMUNITIES. 
          SO CANCER, POWER, CLIMATE CHANGE WITHOUT CENTERING EQUITY AT EXCELLENT. 
          SO AFTER, UM, A FULL DAY WORKSHOP THAT WE HAD WITH ALL, UM, 120 PLAN PARTICIPANTS THAT PARTICIPATED IN A FULL DAY EQUITY EQUITY CLIMATE WORKSHOP, HE ENDED UP WITH, UM, THIS INTERSECTION POINT. 
          SO IF WE'RE GOING TO REALLY PROPERLY ADDRESS CLIMATE CHANGE, WE'RE GOING TO PROPERLY ADDRESS RACIAL EQUITY, UM, AIMING TO ELIMINATE DISPARITIES, AIMING TO ELIMINATE THESE OF FOSSIL FUELS. 
          WE ENDED UP WITH THESE SEVEN VALUES. 
          THESE SEVEN VALUES KIND OF COME UP OVER AND OVER AGAIN IN OUR PROCESS. 
          UM, WE USED THEM IN AN EQUITY TOOL THAT WE CREATED, USE THEM TO, UH, TO ASK QUESTIONS AND KIND OF CENTER. 
          UM, IF WE'RE GOING TO PROPOSE A GOAL OR A STRATEGY, LET'S MAKE SURE THAT IT ADDRESSES THESE THINGS, CAUSE THIS IS WHERE THESE TWO ISSUES INTERCONNECT AND, AND REALLY THE BOTTOM LINE FOR ME IS THAT, YOU KNOW, I REALLY REALIZED THAT, YOU KNOW, THROUGH OUR PLAN PROCESS AND LEARNING AND GROWING THROUGH THIS IS THAT IN A PLAN LIKE THIS, IF WE'RE NOT PROACTIVELY ADDRESSING EQUITY, ESPECIALLY IN THE CONTEXT OF CLIMATE CHANGE AND WE WOULD JUST BE PERPETUATING INJUSTICE AND YOU ESSENTIALLY LIKE CAN'T REALLY HAVE A PLAN THAT'S PROPERLY ADDRESSING CLIMATE CHANGE WITHOUT ALSO THINKING ABOUT IT. 
          SO WHERE DO THE EMISSIONS COME FROM IN OUR COMMUNITY? THIS IS THE CARBON FOOTPRINT FOR OUR ENTIRE COMMUNITY, ALL OF THE ACTIVITIES AND ALL THE FOSSIL FUELS THAT WE BURN. 
          UM, THE BASELINE THAT WE USE IS 2010, AND THIS IS LOOKING OUT AT 2020 OR THAT THE DATA GOES THROUGH 2018 HERE PROJECTING THE 2030, AND THEN PROJECTING INTO THE FUTURE. 
          UM, THE LARGEST PORTION OF THE CARBON CORPORATE. 
          AND WHEN WE STARTED WAS ELECTRICITY AND NATURAL GAS, YOU CAN BUILD THOSE OVER TIME. 
          AUSTIN ENERGY IMPLEMENTING THEIR PLANS HAVE DRAMATICALLY REDUCED THE EMISSIONS FROM ELECTRICITY GENERATION, AND THAT'S JUST GOING TO CONTINUE TO DROP OFF AS THEY CONTINUE TO ADD RENEWABLE ENERGY. 
          SO THE BIGGEST REAL CONTRIBUTOR HERE TO EMISSIONS IN OUR COMMUNITY IS TRANSPORTATION. 
          THAT'S ALL THE GASOLINE AND DIESEL ISSUES AND CARS AND TRUCKS AND MOVING US ALL AROUND. 
          SO HOW DO WE ADDRESS THAT? UM, IN A WAY THAT'S EQUITABLE. 
          THE OTHER KEY THING HERE TO NOTE IS THAT THE ORIGINAL GOAL LINE THAT WAS PROPOSED BY CITY COUNCIL, OR THERE WAS ADOPTED BY CITY COUNCIL IS NET ZERO EMISSIONS BY 2050. 
          UM, THE STEERING COMMITTEE IS PROPOSING THAT WE MOVE THAT GOAL LINE UP TO THE BLACK LINE, WHICH FOR SENIORS. 
          SO MOVING THE GOAL TO NET ZERO EMISSIONS BY 2040. 
          SO THAT GOES WITH THE URGENCY THAT WE NEED TO TAKE ACTION ON CLIMATE CHANGE AND REALLY LIKE RATCHETING UP OUR EFFORTS TO TAKE MORE ACTIONS. 
          EXCELLENT. 
          [01:30:01]
SO WHAT'S INCLUDED IN THIS PLAN AND I'M NOT GOING TO HAVE TIME TO GO THROUGH ALL OF THE DETAILS IN THE PLAN, BUT WHAT'S INCLUDED IS SECTIONS FOCUSED ON SUSTAINABLE BUILDINGS, TRANSPORTATION, ELECTRIFICATION, TRANSPORTATION, LAND, USE HOW THEY INTERSECT WITH CLIMATE NATURAL SYSTEMS AND CONSUMPTION OF GOODS AND FOOD PRODUCTS. 
          AND THE KEY THING WITH THIS, HOW WE ENDED UP ON THESE FIVE TOPICS IS THAT WE HAD TO FIT THIS PLAN IN THE CONSTELLATION OF ALL OF THE OTHER PLANNING EFFORTS THAT GO ON AT THE CITY, RIGHT? AUSTIN ENERGY HAS A PLAN. 
          THE SOCIAL RECOVERY IS WORKING ON A REVISED PLAN. 
          THERE'S CAP, METRO PLANS, TRANSPORTATION PLANS, STRATEGIC COUNCIL PLANS, LIKE, YOU KNOW, THERE'S, THERE'S, UM, INITIATIVES GO LOWER. 
          AND SO WE HAD TO SORT OF FIGURE OUT HOW DO WE FIT THIS WORK, UM, WITHIN THOSE OTHER PLANS AND SORT OF NOT LIKE DO THEIR WORK FOR THEM, UM, OR OVERSTEP THE BOUNDS INTO AREAS THAT WERE NOT SO RESPONSIBLE FOR. 
          EXCELLENT. 
          SO TWO QUICK THINGS, UH, SELENA IS GOING TO JUMP IN AND TELL YOU JUST A LITTLE BIT ABOUT HOW REALLY EQUITY BECAME A RAW REALITY IN THIS PROCESS WITH OUR EQUITY TOOL. 
          AND THEN, UH, TALK ABOUT THE AMBASSADOR PROGRAM. 
          THANKS SEC, MY NAME IS LEANNE RENDON AND I'M THE KEY ENGAGEMENT SPECIALIST WITH THE OFFICE OF SUSTAINABILITY, UM, AND WORKING WITH THEM FOR A YEAR NOW, SPECIFICALLY FOCUSING ON THE CLIMATE EQUITY PLAN PROCESS. 
          SO HERE WE HAVE OUTLINED THE PROCESS, UM, THAT WE PROVIDED FOR OUR ADVISORY GROUPS AND FOR PARTICIPANTS THAT WERE INVOLVED. 
          UM, AND THIS WAS JUST ADOPTED FROM THE GOVERNMENT WEITZMAN RAISED EQUITY, WHICH IS ALSO WHAT THE EQUITY OFFICE USES IN THEIR ASSESSMENT REPORTS ACROSS THE CITY. 
          UM, AS I MENTIONED, WE HAD A CLIMATE EQUITY WORKSHOP BACK IN DECEMBER THAT WAS FACILITATED BY DR. 
          TONY WARD. 
          WHO'S A COMMUNITY ORGANIZER HERE IN AUSTIN, UM, AND TO KIND OF PROVIDE THAT HISTORICAL PIECE AND THAT TRAINING FOR ALL PARTICIPANTS IN THE PLAN, IT WAS A FULL DAY TRAINING. 
          WE HAD FOUR AVAILABLE FOR PARTICIPANTS, UM, AND WE ALSO HAD ALMANZA WHO LED THE TRAINING FOR OUR AMBASSADORS AS WELL. 
          SO I WANT TO GIVE THAT CREDIT TO, UM, YEAH, THIS WAS JUST THE PROCESS. 
          OUTLINED THE GROUPS LOOK AT DATA, DEMOGRAPHIC DATA, CURRENT TRENDS, FUTURE TRENDS, PROJECTED TRENDS, UM, TO HELP ENSURE THAT GOALS INCLUDED BOTH THE CLIMATE AND EQUITY COMPONENT, UM, WITH OUR STEERING COMMITTEE, WE ALSO, UM, CO-CREATED AN EQUITY TOOL WITH THE COMMUNITY MEMBERS, UM, HONORS STEERING COMMITTEE AND THE EQUITY TOOL IS BASED ON THE SEVEN VALUES THAT ZACH MENTIONED EARLIER AROUND CULTURAL PRESERVATION, HEALTH AFFORDABILITY, AND SO ON. 
          AND, UM, IT'S BASICALLY DESIGNED AS, UM, A SCREENING QUESTIONS AND IT WAS MOSTLY USED AS SUBJECTIVE TOOLS FOR, UH, THE ADVISORY GROUPS AND PARTICIPANTS TO CONSIDER POTENTIAL IMPACTS AND TO, UM, UNDERSTAND THAT WE'RE KIND OF BUILDING THIS PLAN AS A VISIONARY PROCESS AND WHAT WE WANT OUTLINED TO SEE IN OUR ENGAGEMENT PROCESS AND OUR GOAL SETTING NARRATIVE, UM, AND ALL OF THAT. 
          AND WITH THE LIMITED TIME I'M GOING TO SEND A FOLLOWUP TO THE STAFF LIAISON. 
          SO YOU'LL RECEIVE A WHOLE BUNCH OF THINGS TO LIKE, KIND OF DIG INTO MORE OF THOSE PIECES. 
          HE, YOU GO TO THE NEXT SLIDE. 
          YEAH. 
          AND ONE OF THE MAJOR COMPONENTS OF OUR PLANET PLAN WAS THE DEVELOPMENT OF OUR COMMUNITY CLIMATE AMBASSADOR PROGRAM. 
          12 INDIVIDUALS WERE SELECTED AND COMPENSATED TO FACILITATE THEIR OWN COMMUNITY CONVERSATIONS. 
          UM, THEY HAD THE FREEDOM TO KIND OF DESIGN AND FACILITATE THAT IN ANY WAY THAT THEY WISH A LOT OF FOLKS FOCUS ON LANGUAGE, ACCESS, PEOPLE, DISABILITIES, UM, CULTURAL CONNECTION, UM, ISSUES OF GENTRIFICATION AND AFFORDABILITY. 
          AND SO, UM, A LOT OF GREAT TAKEAWAYS FROM THESE DISCUSSIONS, BUT ALSO THINK ABOUT THE CLIMATE NARRATIVE, HOW IT HAS NOT BEEN HISTORICALLY INCLUSIVE OF ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE ISSUES OR CLIMATE JUSTICE ISSUES. 
          AND SO THIS, UM, REALLY HELPED INFORM NOT ONLY OUR GOALS AND STRATEGIES, BUT ALSO HOW WE NEED TO LIKE REVAMP AND RETHINK OUR COMMUNICATIONS FROM THE CITY. 
          UM, NOT ONLY IN SUSTAINABILITY AND CLIMATE ISSUES, BUT JUST OVERALL, UM, A LOT OF SIMILAR TAKEAWAYS FROM OTHER PLANNING EFFORTS THAT WE'VE SEEN. 
          AND THAT'S, THAT'S IT FOR THE SLIDES. 
          THANKS LYNN. 
          SO NEXT SLIDE. 
          UM, SO WE'RE NOT GONNA, WE'RE NOT GONNA HAVE TIME TO STEP THROUGH ALL OF THE DRAFT RULES AND STRATEGIES, UM, WHAT YOU SEE IN THE FOLLOWING SLIDES AND WHAT YOU SEE IN THE SHORT DOCUMENT IN THE FULL EXPLANATION OF THIS PLAN ARE 18 GOALS. 
          UH, GO BACK, UM, 18 GOALS THAT ARE THE QUANTITATIVE MEASURES THAT WE NEED TO STAY ON TRACK, UH, BY 2030, 75 STRATEGIES THAT ARE FOCUSED ON WHAT DO WE NEED TO IMPLEMENT IN THE NEXT FIVE YEARS TO MAKE PROGRESS IN ALL OF THESE AREAS AND REALLY, UH, CENTERING ON EQUITY THROUGHOUT ALL OF THOSE STRATEGIES. 
          SO PRIORITIZING INCENTIVES, TARGETED COMMUNICATIONS AT LOW INCOME COMMUNITIES AND COMMUNITIES OF COLOR, TRYING TO FOCUS ON ANTI-DISPLACEMENT, 
          [01:35:01]
WHERE IT CONNECTS, UM, JUST TRANSITION TRAINING JOBS, ENTREPRENEURSHIP FOR NEW INDUSTRIES AND TECHNOLOGY, PRIORITIZING HEALTH BENEFITS, AND JUST CENTERING COMMUNITIES OF COLOR IN OUR ONGOING RESPONSE. 
          UM, THERE IS, YOU KNOW, FOR THIS GROUP, THE TRANSPORTATION AND LAND USE SCHOOLS, I THINK ARE KIND OF LIKE THE MOST APPLICABLE TO THIS GROUP. 
          UM, THERE ARE TWO GOALS RELATED TO, UM, UH, COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT AND THEN RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT, ESSENTIALLY THE RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT TARGETS ARE STRAIGHT OUT OF THE STRATEGIC HOUSING BLUEPRINT. 
          SO COMMITTING TO AFFORDABLE HOUSING AND TRYING TO KEEP AS MANY PEOPLE AS WE CAN IN AUSTIN, UH, BECAUSE AS PEOPLE MOVE FURTHER AND FURTHER OUT THEIR APARTMENT PROGRAMS JUST GROW. 
          SO WE THINK THAT AFFORDABLE HOUSING LIKE HAS, UH, YOU KNOW, IN ESSENTIAL TIE WITH ADDRESSING EMISSIONS, YOU KNOW, LARGE HOUSES AND LARGE COMMUTES, LIKE JUST MAKES, UH, CARBON FOOTPRINTS HIGHER AND HIGHER. 
          UM, AND THEN THERE ARE TWO GOALS RELATED TO GETTING PEOPLE OUT OF CARS AND SUPPORTING PEOPLE TO LIKE, NOT HAVE TO OWN CARS, UM, IF POSSIBLE. 
          SO MAKING PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION BETTER, UH, MAKING, WALKING AND BIKING BETTER. 
          UM, AND, AND ALL OF THOSE THINGS SORT OF CONNECT WITH, LIKE WITH AFFORDABILITY AND HAVING LOWER ENERGY COSTS AND HAVE LOWER TRANSPORTATION COSTS, UM, WHICH WE THINK AGAIN, SORT OF HAVE A TIME WITH EQUITY ISSUES AND AFFORDABILITY HOUSING. 
          SO I'LL JUST LEAVE IT RIGHT THERE. 
          UM, THANKS SO MUCH FOR LISTENING. 
          UM, THAT'S IT. 
          THANK YOU, MR. CHAIR. 
          CAN I INTERJECT HERE? YEAH, ABSOLUTELY. 
          PLEASE. 
          YEAH. 
          WELL, I JUST WANT TO SAY THANK YOU SO MUCH TO ZACH AND CELINE AND TO, YOU KNOW, THE SUSTAINABILITY OFFICE, LIKE ZACH SAID, A LOT OF WORK HAS GONE INTO, UM, PUTTING THIS PLAN TOGETHER REALLY. 
          UH, AND I THINK WHAT IS QUITE UNIQUE AND REMARKABLE ABOUT THIS WORK IN AUSTIN IS THAT, UH, SEVERAL CITIES HAVE COMMUNITY, UM, CLIMATE PLANS AND SOME HAVE EQUITY AS JUST AN ATTENDANT, BUT THE FACT THAT WE ARE MAKING EQUITY AT THE CENTER OF APPLYING AND ACTUALLY NAMING THE PLAN WITH EQUITY, UM, IN ITS LABEL AND NOT JUST, UH, AS A COVER, BUT IN FACT, IN THE PROCESS OF DEVELOPING THE PLAN AND HOPEFULLY GOING FORWARD, I THINK IS QUITE, UM, UH, IT'S WORTH APPLAUDING AND AS, UH, PARTICULARLY PRETENDS TO ALL COMMISSION. 
          I THINK THAT, UH, THE FACT THAT EQUITY IS AT THE CENTER, UM, YOU KNOW, IS, UH, THAT'S WHAT WE WANT TO SEE AND, UH, THAT WE ARE NOT, IT'S NOT JUST COMING OUT THE BACK END OF IT. 
          IT'S THE CORE DRIVER OF THE, SO, UH, I WANT TO APPLAUD YOU GUYS AGAIN FOR THAT. 
          AND, UM, HOPEFULLY THE COMMISSIONERS HAVE ANY COMMENTS ALSO HERE FROM HERE FROM OTHER COMMISSIONERS. 
          I JUST WANT TO ADD BEFORE I STOP TALKING THAT I, UH, I HAVE A RESOLUTION THAT I WOULD LIKE OUR COMMISSION TO, UM, PASS AND ADOPT TO, UM, UH, RECOMMEND THAT COUNCIL QUICKLY, UM, UM, MOVE TO ADOPT THIS PLAN. 
          BUT BEFORE WE GET THERE, I'LL LEAVE IT OPEN TO OTHER CONDITIONERS. 
          THANK YOU, COMMISSIONER FIDELITY. 
          THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR, FOR YOUR EFFORT AND PUTTING, BEING A PART OF THIS AND REPRESENTING OUR COMMISSION ON THIS WORK. 
          I MEAN, I THINK IT'S REALLY, REALLY INCREDIBLE TO SEE BECAUSE WE HEAR, YOU KNOW, EQUITY IS ALWAYS SUCH A CONTROVERSIAL THING, BUT THEN WHEN WE PAIR IT WITH REALLY THE FUTURE OF INHABITABLE PLANET, IT KIND OF MAKES IT TO WHERE EQUITY IS REALLY EVERYBODY'S BUSINESS AND REALLY IMPORTANT FOR ALL, FOR ALL OF US TO FIND A WAY TO, TO LIVE TOGETHER AND WAS IN OUR, UM, YOU KNOW, THE PROPER FOOTPRINT. 
          UM, I KNOW COMMISSIONER COSTA HAD HIS HAND UP, SO I'LL LET YOU GO NEXT COMMISSIONER, A FEW, SOME COMMENTS. 
          HEY, THANK YOU, MAN. 
          I REALLY, REALLY WISH WE HAD MORE TIME ON THIS. 
          THIS IS SUCH AN INCREDIBLE PLAN, LIKE WITH A LOT OF DETAILS. 
          UM, AND I DON'T WANT TO TAKE UP TOO MUCH TIME. 
          SO JUST ONE QUICK QUESTION, REALLY, TO FOCUS ON IS THAT'S THE BULK OF GROWTH, ESPECIALLY YEAH. 
          IS COMING FROM THE REGION, NOT JUST THE CITY. 
          SO I WONDERED IF YOU COULD SPEAK TO WHAT THE PLAN SAYS ABOUT, I SAW ONE OF THE GOALS WAS REACHING SMALL DEVELOPMENTS. 
          IF YOU COULD JUST SPEAK TO HOW THAT GOAL TIES IN WITH TRYING TO KEEP THE AREA IN CHECK, AS OPPOSED TO JUST THE CITY. 
          AND THEN TO SAY THAT, I AGREE WITH THAT ONE. 
          THAT'S THE WORD FOR IT? I AGREE WITH ABOUT, UH, ABOUT THE RESOLUTION. 
          YEAH, I WOULD, I ALWAYS THAT THERE IS A CROSS CUTTING GOAL THAT'S CALLED REGIONAL COLLABORATION BECAUSE IT BECAME CLEAR ACROSS THIS ENTIRE PLAN, NOT ONLY TRANSPORTATION, BUT 
          [01:40:01]
LIKE HOUSING AND ALL OF THE DIFFERENT ISSUES. 
          LIKE WE NEED TO BE WORKING WITH OUR SURROUNDING CITIES COUNTIES TO PROPERLY ADDRESS IT BECAUSE LIKE AUSTIN, AND THERE'S NO FENCE THAT THEY ASKED ME, WE ARE REALLY LIKE A WHOLE, UM, YOU KNOW, IN TERMS OF LAND USE POLICY, LIKE, YOU KNOW, WE DON'T HAVE THE ANSWERS TO LAND USE POLICY AND LIKE GROWTH MANAGEMENT, OR LIKE NOT SUPPOSED TO 100% ANSWER, THEN THIS PLAN, LIKE THERE'S A LOT OF OTHER CONVERSATIONS THAT ARE GOING ON THAT TOPIC. 
          I WOULD SAY, YOU KNOW, FROM THE TRANSPORTATION SIDE, UM, YOU KNOW, SUPPORTING PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE, LIKE WHERE IT CAN WORK OR REGIONALLY, I THINK IS KEY. 
          AND THEN THE SECOND THING IS SUPPORTING ELECTRIFICATION, RIGHT? JUST LIKE THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT LIVE IN THESE LONG COMMUTES AND, YOU KNOW, PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION IS LIKE NEVER GOING TO WORK IF YOU CAN LIVE LIKE AT THE END OF, YOU KNOW, ENDED ROUND ROCK. 
          SO, UM, ENABLING ELECTRIC VEHICLES, UM, AS THEY BECOME MORE AND MORE AVAILABLE AND MORE AND MORE PORTABLE, UM, TO SAVE PEOPLE MONEY, TO SAVE THE AIR QUALITY EMISSIONS, TO SAVE THE CEO TO OTHER SHIPS. 
          UM, AND YOU KNOW, IT'S NOT THE BEST SOLUTION, BUT IT MAY BE SORT OF LIKE THE OLIN SOLUTION, UH, IN SOME CASES. 
          SO YEAH, LOTS OF WORK THERE TO DO REGIONALLY. 
          UM, THANK YOU, COMMISSIONERS. 
          YEAH. 
          IT'S ME COMMISSIONER DELGADO. 
          I, YEAH, I JUST WANTED TO, UM, TO JUST CHIME IN AND TO SAY THAT, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ALL OF THAT HARD WORK. 
          UM, AND 10 SEWING RING GONE JUST ON A MONTH.

          I JUST WANTED TO THANK YOU SO, SO MUCH FOR ALL THE HARD WORK Y'ALL HAVE DONE AND HOW Y'ALL HAVE PRIORITIZED THAT. 
          AND I AM IN FULL SUPPORT OF IT. 
          SO I JUST WANTED TO TELL YOU ALL, THANK YOU SO MUCH. 
          THANKS COMMISSIONER. 
          AND WE HAVE ABOUT FIVE MINUTES LEFT AND COMMISSIONER POPPY HAD YOUR HAND UP.

          LOOKS LIKE YOU'RE STILL ON MUTE. 
          HERE WE GO. 
          SEE THAT WERE POSTED FOR POSSIBLE ACTION ON THE CLIMATE PLAN. 
          AND SINCE THE COMMISSIONER ASKED US TO APPROVE THE RESOLUTION ON IT, LIKE IF YOU HAVE TIME TO READ THAT RESOLUTION, I DON'T THINK WE'RE POSTED FOR ACTION TODAY. 
          THIS IS A PRESENTATION. 
          I THINK WE ARE. 
          I THINK THAT WAS UPDATED. 
          WASN'T IT? YEAH.

          WE ARE WELL STAFF, WE MAY NEED TO GET YOU IN HERE TO LET US KNOW WHAT WE CAN DO. 
          WE ONLY HAVE FIVE MINUTES. 
          IT SEEMS LIKE WE ALL SUPPORT THIS IN GENERAL, BUT WE HAVEN'T SEEN THE RESOLUTION SHOULD BE IN A BACKUP. 
          YEAH. 
          WHEN HAD TIME TO DISCUSS THE RESOLUTION, I SHOULD SAY, UH, I DON'T SEE IT AT THE BOTTOM OF THE MINE, BUT LET ME KEEP LOOKING. 
          UM, I DON'T DO, DOES EVERYONE ELSE SEE IT? WE ARE GOING TO, THIS IS AIR CLIQUE. 
          UM, THE GIRAFFE RESOLUTION IS THE LAST TWO PAGES OF THE BACKUP THAT THAT WAS INCLUDED IN THE MEETING INVITATION.

          WOULD YOU LIKE ME TO READ IT? IS THAT WHAT YOU'RE SAYING? NO, I DON'T THINK THERE'S TIME TO, I THINK FOLKS CAN JUST READ IT AND THEN YEAH, THE CORE, THE CORE ITEMS ON THE LAST PAGE. 
          I MEAN, BASICALLY WHAT WE'RE TELLING COUNCIL TO DO ON THE LAST PAGE AND THOSE ARE EASIER TO GO THROUGH. 
          SO THE FIRST ONE IS TO ADOPT THE PLAN QUICKLY, ADOPT THE PLAN AND THEN DIRECT CITY MANAGER TO PRETTY MUCH ALLOCATE RESOURCES TOWARDS IT. 
          AND, UH, TO CREATE A NEW COUNCIL QUANTITY ON ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE TO PROVIDE LEADERSHIP ON AND OVERSEE IMPLEMENTATION.
