2026-11-04 - Ann Land and Bertha Henschel Memorial Funds Commission

Summary

Built from the posted agenda and the uploader-provided YouTube captions.

The Chair was absent and the Vice Chair presided; a quorum was established and, with a six-member quorum, actions required unanimous votes. The August 26, 2026 minutes were approved unanimously on the consent calendar.
Outgoing commissioners were recognized with mayor-signed certificates.
City Treasurer's report: the portfolio's annual return was 10.72% against a 10.68% benchmark and the one-year return was 5.47% against a 2.6% benchmark; the fund holds about $5.1 million and about $7 million in income has been distributed since inception.
The Treasurer recommended $225,000 for the 2027 grant cycle, a $35,000 increase over the previous year, with funding expected to stay steady for the next few years.
Commission priorities were confirmed as food, transportation and housing with wraparound services. Applicant attendance is a grant requirement and many applicants did not attend.
Applicants must be current with the state Attorney General's registry or provide proof of filing before contracting; otherwise their funds default back to the memorial fund.
About 30 organizations were scored; total scored requests were about $337,000 against $225,000 available.
The Commission approved tiered allocations totaling $225,000, funding the top tier at 100% and lower tiers at reduced percentages; organizations scoring below roughly 60% of possible points received no funding (exact tier thresholds and per-organization amounts were not clearly stated).
The motion to approve the 2027 allocations passed unanimously; there was no public comment. The next meeting will cover lessons learned on the new grant management system.

00:56so I am the assistant chair,

00:59vice president, whatever you

01:00want to call it. And will be

01:03serving as the chairman for

01:04this meeting. If the clerk

01:44Chair Ellis will be absent as

01:46well. Vice chair. We have

01:47quorum. Thank you.

01:48>> Thank you.

01:53>> I'm sorry. Before we begin,

01:55a brief reminder for members of

01:57the public in attendance. If

01:59you wish to speak or submit

02:01comments, please fill out the

02:03online form by scanning the QR

02:04code at the back of the room

02:06and on the back page of the

02:08agenda. Handouts are located

02:09near the front, and the city

02:11clerk's office staff are

02:12available in the lobby to

02:14assist. You will have two

02:15minutes to speak on up to four

02:17items, with the timer displayed

02:19on the screen behind me.

02:21Today's meeting is live

02:22streamed on YouTube in English

02:24and Spanish. Please note that

02:26the captions and translations

02:28are AI generated and may

02:30contain errors. We will now

02:32proceed with today's agenda.

02:38>> Thank you. And one more

02:39process thing. If you're just

02:41if you're here representing an

02:42organization that has submitted

02:43a grant application, you don't

02:46need to check in and say you

02:48want to speak. We will call

02:51each organization to ensure who

02:53is here. And then if if anyone

02:56on the panel has questions for

02:58you, we will ask those

03:00questions. But you don't need

03:02to request to speak. And if we

03:04don't ask questions, it means

03:06that we were able to review

03:08your your application and

03:10evaluate it. And no one on the

03:13panel has any questions for you.

03:15So if we don't ask you to speak,

03:17don't take that personally.

03:18It's just a way to speed up

03:21this process. This year, we

03:23have a historic number of

03:27applicants. We have just a

03:30quorum of the commission. And

03:32so everything we do in this

03:34meeting, there has to be a

03:36unanimous vote on to move

03:38forward. Because you need at

03:41least six votes and quorum is

03:43six. So we're going to have to

03:46be able to reach consensus as a

03:49group. We appreciate if you

03:50make any comments that you make

03:51them as succinct as possible.

03:55And with that, I would like you

03:57to rise for the land

04:00acknowledgment and the Pledge

04:03of Allegiance. To the original

04:09people of this land, the

04:11Nisenan people, the southern

04:13Maidu Valley and Plains Miwok,

04:16Patwin Wintun peoples and the

04:19people of the Wilton Rancheria,

04:22Sacramento's only federally

04:23recognized tribe. May we

04:26acknowledge and honor the

04:27native people who came before

04:28us and still walk beside us

04:30today on these ancestral lands,

04:32by choosing to gather today an

04:34active practice of

04:36acknowledgment and appreciation

04:37for Sacramento's indigenous

04:39people's history, contributions,

04:43and lives. And now, the Pledge

04:47of Allegiance. I pledge

04:49allegiance to the flag of the

04:52United States of America and to

04:54the Republic for which it

04:56stands. One nation under God,

04:59with with liberty and justice

05:02for all. Next is the approval

05:12of the consent calendar. Is

05:17there anything on the consent

05:20calendar?

05:22>> Thank you, Vice Chair. Yes.

05:24On the consent calendar today,

05:26we have an approval of the

05:28minutes from the August 26th

05:31meeting. And that looks like

05:34that will be all.

05:37>> Okay. Is there anyone that

05:40wishes to speak on the meeting

05:43minutes that were sent to the

05:47commission? Any changes?

05:50Corrections. Would someone like

05:53to make a motion to approve the

05:57commission meeting minutes from

05:59August?

06:00>> I make a motion.

06:01>> Thank you. Is there a second?

06:04>> I second.

06:07>> Did you have a question? Oh,

06:10okay. Thank you. All right.

06:14Please call the roll.

06:15>> Thank you. And, Vice chair,

06:16can we clarify who was the who

06:18made the motion? I'm sorry.

06:20What was your name,

06:21Commissioner.

06:22>> Commissioner Contreras.

06:24>> Thank you. And who was the

06:25second?

06:27>> Catherine. Roll.

06:30>> Thank you. Thank you,

06:33commissioners and all those in

06:34favor, please say I, I. Thank

06:37you. Any opposition or abstain?

06:42Thank you. Motion passes.

06:44>> Thank you.

06:46>> Chair. Would you like to go

06:48back to the recognition?

06:53>> Of the.

06:54>> Members that are expiring?

06:56>> Yes. Thank you. All right.

06:58Thank you very much. I do want

07:00to make recognition before we

07:03move on to the agenda. I'd like

07:06to thank and recognize

07:09commissioners Sheila Ellis,

07:11Joseph Contreras and Alex Brown

07:14for their service, because we

07:16are at the end of their

07:19appointment. And so I want to

07:21thank them for their service to

07:23this organization as we move

07:26forward.

07:28>> Thank you for your service.

07:29And the clerk's office will be

07:31providing you a certificate

07:32that has been signed by the

07:33mayor before the end of the

07:35meeting.

07:35>> Thank you. Excuse me.

07:39>> Did you have a question?

07:41>> I just got a comment. I got

07:44a a notification from the vice

07:48mayor saying that she

07:49reappointed me again for this.

07:51So has that come through or not?

07:54What?

07:55>> That's a city clerk's office

07:58question.

07:58>> Correct. I will take that

07:59information back to the clerk's

08:01office, and we will get back in

08:02touch with you.

08:03>> Okay.

08:04>> Thank you. Thank you.

08:07>> Okay. Highlights of the City

08:11Treasurer's annual report and

08:12funding recommendations is up

08:16next.

08:20>> Thank you, Vice Chair. Yes,

08:22we will be moving to item

08:23number two. Highlights of the

08:24City Treasurer's annual report

08:26and the 2027 funding

08:28recommendations.

08:29>> Thanks, Heather. Good

08:30morning chair.

08:31>> Do you folks have the

08:32handout that Stacey provided to

08:34you? Can it be made public?

08:39>> We have reams of paper.

08:42>> It's the one that is stapled.

08:44>> Yes. And I was hoping we

08:47could put it above. But it's

08:49not. Oh, well. Well, I'm John

08:56Colville. This is my 23rd year

08:58presenting in front of you. I

09:00started when I was just a baby,

09:03and Stacy Hussey is our chief

09:05investment officer. She's the

09:05one who actually manages the

09:07portfolio. But she always makes

09:09me present because she thinks

09:12it shows more esteem, I guess,

09:13to you guys.

09:18>> Have to be a supplemental.

09:20>> I know you have a lot of

09:21business ahead of you, so I

09:23guess we'll move forward. You

09:24you provided the most recent

09:27performance. Yeah. Just throw

09:29it on there. Yeah. So there's a

09:33formal fiscal year report that

09:35was put in your agenda. That

09:37shows an annual return for the

09:39portfolio of 10.72% compared to

09:42the custom benchmark, which is

09:43a 10.68%. So we outperformed

09:46that. The portfolio is now a

09:4850% allocation to bonds and a

09:5050% allocation to dividends and

09:52value equities, and that's only

09:55a recent development since

09:57interest rates have risen so

09:58much rapidly. We are now out of

10:01a zero interest rate

10:02environment. Now we can provide

10:03fixed income securities that

10:06will provide income, because

10:07just as a matter of historical

10:09debt, this money was bequeathed

10:12to the city. It was about a

10:14half $1 million. And the

10:15stipulation was that only

10:17income could be peeled off and

10:19used for the poor and indigent,

10:20so the principal could not be

10:22sold off. So the objective of

10:24the portfolio is to create as

10:26much income on an annual basis.

10:27So you guys can donate or

10:31allocate those to the, to the,

10:33to the community to invest in,

10:36in the poor and indigent. So

10:39right now we're a little over

10:41$5 billion. So we went from

10:44$500,000 to $5 million. So

10:45going forward, the current

10:49portfolio has a 45% weighting

10:50to fixed income, which has

10:52generated a 4.54% yield. And if

10:57you look on page ten of the

10:58report, the longer term returns

11:00of the portfolio for some of

11:01the most more standard

11:02benchmarks can be seen. As

11:04expected, the portfolio returns

11:05fall in between the returns of

11:06pure equity and pure fixed

11:08income. The S&P 500 returned a

11:1220.84%, and if you're aware of

11:15what the markets are doing, a

11:16lot of that returns are AI

11:19generated AI companies, a lot

11:20of IT technology. They don't

11:21fit into our portfolio because

11:23they do not pay dividends. They

11:24do not create income that could

11:26be dispersed. So we we do not

11:28generally invest in technology

11:30companies because they don't

11:30meet the objective of the

11:32portfolio, as opposed to a pure

11:34bond portfolio, which earned

11:36about 3.86%. So you can see

11:38we're pretty much in the middle

11:39because we have a 5050

11:41allocation. For the 2027 grant

11:46cycle. We recommend $225,000

11:49this year. That's a $35,000

11:51increase from the previous year,

11:53following six years of small

11:55incremental increases. The

11:56portfolio is now generating

11:57about 225,000 per year, and we

12:00anticipate the funding level to

12:01remain constant for the next

12:02few years as a result of the

12:04bond income that has been

12:05locked in. So if we look out,

12:07look to the handout that Stacy

12:09put in front of you, the one

12:10year return from September to

12:13September is 5.47%. Again, we

12:15outperformed the benchmark,

12:16which is at a 2.6% return. And

12:19as you can see, the other

12:20benchmarks which I spoke about,

12:22the S&P 500, which is a pure

12:23equity portfolio, was 14.4,

12:26again driven a lot by

12:27technology. On page two. You

12:32can see the changes to the

12:33yield curve. There you go. As

12:36you can see, the red line

12:38indicates the the yield curve

12:41from 2026 versus 2025. As you

12:47can see, interest rates are

12:48rising. It's no surprise to any

12:50of us anyone's trying to buy a

12:51house. You're looking at a 7%

12:53interest rate. Your credit card

12:55interest rates are going up, as

12:56is everything else due to

12:58inflation. But you can see

13:01we're earning about 4.34% on

13:03the portfolio, which is which

13:05is about a two year bond is

13:08right now. So page three, the

13:12chart shows the current price

13:13of the corporate bonds. The

13:16blue highlights, the bonds that

13:18are new to the portfolio that

13:19have been purchased since we

13:20last met. As we as a result of

13:23the dramatic increase in

13:24interest rates, bond prices are

13:25down over year over year

13:26because they move inversely.

13:28Interest rates go up, bond

13:30prices go down. And inversely,

13:31as a result of the dramatic

13:33increase in interest rates,

13:34bond prices are down year over

13:35year. Interest rates stabilize

13:36and begin to come down, which

13:38we anticipate if inflation gets.

13:41And if the war ends at some

13:42point, then bond prices should

13:44go up and the portfolio should

13:46increase. So as you can see, if

13:51we go to the last page, let's

13:53go to the last page. It shows

13:55you actually what what we've

13:56done in the portfolio. The

13:58portfolio is up values worth

14:015.1 million. It's up for about

14:035 million since last year and

14:06since the inception of the

14:07portfolio, we've generated

14:08enough money to. So you can

14:10distribute $7 million in income

14:12out to the community. So

14:15overall, we're quite pleased.

14:15The returns we're very happy

14:17that we've been able to

14:18increase what you can

14:19distribute to the folks. And

14:21Stacy and I are here to answer

14:23any questions if you deem

14:26necessary.

14:30>> Thank you. Are there any

14:32commissioners with questions?

14:37Are there any members of the

14:38public that would like to speak

14:40on this item?

14:42>> Thank you, Vice Chair. There

14:43are no speakers on this item,

14:45and there were no speakers on

14:46the consent calendar either.

14:47Thank you.

14:48>> Thank you very much. Thank

14:50you for your work. I appreciate

14:52the good news for us, actually,

14:53for the people in this room. So

14:56I appreciate it. Thank you.

14:58>> Thanks, John. See you next

14:59year.

15:00>> Yes.

15:09>> Thank you. Our next item

15:10will be item number three,

15:12which is the 2027 and land and

15:15Bertha Hinshaw grant funding

15:17allocations.

15:20>> Okay. So commissioners in

15:22your packet. You have a copy of

15:26the funding history from 2010

15:30till present. You also have a

15:33summary of the pre meeting

15:35scores and. You have the detail

15:42of all of the commissioners

15:45scores. So at this point. We're

15:53just going to go organization

15:55by organization and see what

16:00commissioners have. What

16:02questions about these

16:04organizations so that we can.

16:14Yes. Go ahead Brian.

16:16>> And there's just a few

16:18points I want to cover before

16:20we get started with this item.

16:22Number one is the attorney

16:24general status. So the attorney

16:27general has a new website, and

16:29we've been told that some of

16:32the statuses are not updated

16:35yet. So for the purposes of

16:37this meeting we are not going

16:39to be disqualifying agencies

16:43based on their attorney General

16:45status as of today. However,

16:49once and if they are selected,

16:52the Attorney General status

16:53will need to be updated for

16:55them to go under contract. So I

16:58know that that is one of the

16:59criterias, and I just want to

17:01let you all know we have been

17:03in communication with the

17:04agencies. They have submitted

17:06proof that they've submitted

17:08the required documentation.

17:09Just the website doesn't show

17:10the updated status yet for many

17:12of them. And we did notice that

17:14this was a many organizations

17:17having these issues. So we will

17:20take that into consideration

17:22when they are to go under

17:23contract.

17:29>> So the ones that are due or

17:33in review or past due, if we

17:37fund that organization and then

17:39they end up not having a

17:41current being current with the

17:44attorney general. Then we need

17:49to talk about what to do with

17:51the money we've given them or

17:53allocated to them. When we

17:58discuss allocation at the end.

17:59So you helped me remember to do

18:01that, but we haven't had this

18:02issue before. So this is not

18:07not ideal, but we'll deal with

18:09it. Okay. I want to go in

18:14alphabetical order just because

18:17that's what the attendance list

18:20is, the order that the

18:21attendance list is in. It's

18:24also the order that the pre

18:26meeting scores, all questions

18:28that was given to us. That's

18:31this very tiny print thing.

18:35It's the order that they're in.

18:44Are there any questions about

18:47what we're looking at. No. Okay.

18:53>> One more thing. Sorry Vice

18:56Chair, but for commissioners

18:59that had a little bit of

19:00trouble submitting their scores

19:01via the grant management system,

19:04you do have this meeting to

19:06finalize the scores. We'll have

19:07a break after the discussion to

19:09submit. Your final scores to me

19:11will come one by one so I can

19:13edit the spreadsheet. For those

19:15that have seen this in the past,

19:16it takes us a few minutes,

19:18right? It's a little break and

19:19then we'll finalize the scores.

19:21Now, if you are not able to

19:23have scores for all agencies,

19:25then we will not be able to

19:27count any of your scores for

19:28any agency because otherwise it

19:31will throw off the averages. If

19:32you only scored, let's say half

19:34of them, but then the other

19:36half didn't receive a score. So

19:38just a note on that. So you

19:40have you will have to submit

19:42your final scores at the end of

19:44the during the break. I mean,

19:46and then if you don't have a

19:48score for all agencies, then we

19:50will not be able to count your

19:53scores today.

19:55>> Thank you. Okay, so we're

19:58going to go in alphabetical

20:00order. So the first one is 3.0.

20:10Studio T Arts and entertainment.

20:16Is there any representative

20:17here from studio T Arts and

20:21Entertainment. Okay. The next

20:32one is Academy stay. I'm trying

20:40to find that one. Oh, there it

20:44is. Is there a representative

20:48here from Academy? Stay. Is

20:50that you? Okay, I have

20:55questions, so if you want to

20:57come up, please introduce

21:00yourself and then we'll ask

21:03whatever questions we have.

21:06>> My name is Elizabeth. I'm

21:07the operations manager at

21:09Academy. Stay standing in for

21:12Jennifer Davidson.

21:13>> I can barely hear you. Can

21:15you either step closer to the

21:17mics or bend the mics in? Yeah,

21:19I think they're on.

21:20>> Is that better?

21:21>> Much better.

21:22>> Okay. You're welcome.

21:29>> Okay. I just want to verify

21:33it. It sounds like most of the

21:35money you've requested is. For

21:41driver's license. For students,

21:46and then 2800 for r t passes.

21:51Is that a correct reading of

21:55your application?

21:57>> Yes.

21:57>> Okay. All right. So in

22:03general, we are focused on

22:06funding food.

22:09>> Okay.

22:10>> And transportation and

22:15housing with wraparound

22:17services. So most of what

22:19you've asked for is not in our

22:22in our general focus areas for

22:25the, for this organization. And

22:28so I just wanted to verify that

22:31that's what that's what you

22:32were asking for before we move

22:34forward with our scoring.

22:35>> We do have wraparound

22:37services and housing for aged

22:39out foster youth. That's the

22:40basis of our entire program.

22:42>> I know that you didn't ask

22:43for money for that. Got it. I

22:45see clarifying. Okay. Thank you

22:47very much. Any other panel

22:50members have questions?

22:52>> I guess I don't have a

22:54question. It's more of a

22:55comment. I mean, I see driver's

22:56licenses as tying directly into

22:59transportation because it's

23:00ensuring that people can then

23:02be autonomous and move forward.

23:05But again, maybe that's a

23:07different.

23:08>> Interpretation, tie almost

23:09anything to anything. And so

23:12typically what we funded is bus

23:15passes, our T passes, that sort

23:18of thing to get people where

23:20they need to go rather than a

23:22class. It's a training class

23:24basically is what they're

23:24asking for money for. So anyhow,

23:29we all can rate based on how we

23:31feel about it. All right,

23:33that's it. I don't have any

23:35other questions. Anybody else?

23:37Right. Great. Thank you.

23:39>> Thank you.

23:39>> Moving on. Art ism. Art ism.

23:55Okay. Asian Community Center a

24:03c c Senior services. Does

24:07anyone have any question for a

24:11C senior services? I don't see

24:21anybody's hand. So thank you

24:22for coming. You can sit back

24:25down. You're not on the hot

24:26seat today. Center for

24:29Employment opportunities. Right.

24:35Does anybody have any questions

24:37for them? I think I think I do.

24:46I have a question for you. If

24:47you want to come up and

24:50introduce yourself to the panel,

24:52and then we'll go from there.

24:57>> Hello.

24:57>> Good morning. My name is

24:59Skye O'Leary. I'm a business

25:00account manager and job

25:02developer for CEO of Sacramento.

25:06>> Okay. In your application, I

25:10didn't see a description of

25:12your staff qualifications. Can

25:14you give us a little

25:15information briefly?

25:17>> Are you talking about like

25:18the clients we serve or like

25:19the actual staff of CEO

25:21Sacramento?

25:23>> Your staff?

25:24>> Yes, our staff, it can be a

25:27variety. We be in a reentry

25:30program. We do have an

25:31internship program we call LP.

25:33So a lot of our staff,

25:34especially at Sacramento, have

25:36actually worked their way

25:37through the program, done the

25:40internship, and then, you know,

25:41when opportunities arise to be

25:42part of the staff. I think that

25:45is one of the mantras of our

25:47organization is that obviously

25:48we're employment services, so

25:49we should practice what we

25:51preach. So if you demonstrate

25:53the skills to be a job coach or

25:55retention specialist or any of

25:57our roles, we think we should

25:58be able to offer that to anyone

26:00who's come through our program.

26:03>> Okay. Thank you. Any other

26:05commissioners have questions?

26:08All right. Thank you for your

26:09time.

26:09>> Awesome.

26:10>> Thank you. Moving on.

26:13Citynet. Can you come up,

26:21please?

26:26>> Good morning. I'm Carrie

26:27Jones, Northern California

26:28program director for Citynet.

26:30>> Thank you. So where exactly

26:34are you located? Because your

26:36application talked about

26:38Carmichael, Rancho Cordova,

26:39Sacramento County. And we only

26:44provide money for people who

26:45live within the city limits. So

26:48can you give me an idea of

26:50where you're located, where the

26:52services are provided?

26:54>> Yeah, we have multiple

26:55locations. I believe they put

26:57the Watt Avenue location as our

26:58main. That site is going to be

27:01opening up later on next year.

27:03Probably first quarter is what

27:05they're saying, but I believe

27:07most of the funds would be used

27:08for the Cal AIM department,

27:10which we utilize. We serve

27:13community members in all areas

27:15of Sacramento. That program is

27:18were funded by the managed care

27:19plans, and it's very limited.

27:21They're cutting funds for

27:24moving costs and and we get

27:27referrals from people from the

27:28managed care plans. And so we

27:29don't know where they're from.

27:31They're all over the place.

27:35>> All right. I so your Watt

27:39Avenue location, is that it

27:40within the city limits.

27:42>> It's North Highlands.

27:44>> Okay.

27:44>> So that. Yeah. But that's

27:46where our our staff will be.

27:48But they are community based.

27:50They meet them where they're at.

27:53>> Does anybody else have any

27:54questions for Citynet. Yes. Mr.

27:57>> Ubang on the application, I

28:01noticed under client

28:02Transportation and Access

28:04Assistance, you have

28:05identification services. What

28:07do you mean by that?

28:09>> Getting California IDs.

28:11>> Okay. And then under housing

28:15stabilization and move in

28:16assistance, including security

28:19deposits and move in costs.

28:22Okay.

28:23>> Yeah. It's our biggest

28:25struggle right now is

28:27application fees for housing 35,

28:30$45. It's a lot. And our

28:33calling, they don't most of the

28:34managed care plans don't cover

28:35that.

28:36>> Okay.

28:37>> Thank you.

28:40>> Are there any other

28:42questions? Go ahead please.

28:44>> And then with the funds, how

28:46would you guarantee they go to

28:47the city of Sacramento

28:49residents?

28:51>> Well, it's pretty easy to

28:52track when we get a referral.

28:54We know what, who they're

28:56coming or where they're located.

28:57If they're in an encampment, we

28:59know where that's located. So

29:01as soon as we get a referral

29:03from a managed care plan, they

29:04tell us what zip code they're

29:06in, so we'd be able to track it

29:08through my S and the location

29:11services.

29:14>> Thank you.

29:15>> Thank you.

29:18>> Then. I'm having an issue

29:22finding the next applicant.

29:28Color the block. Do you have a

29:30number for them? Their original

29:35number in the system?

29:36>> No. That would be. Do you

29:42have no notes on that? I don't

29:54know if I can. Look that up.

30:02>> Yeah, I.

30:13>> Like the application.

30:20>> And I have my notes are by

30:22the, the, the application

30:25number. Okay. Yeah. All right.

30:32If you're here from color the

30:33Block, we're going to skip over

30:34you right now because I'm

30:36having trouble finding things.

30:40This is the first year we've

30:41used this grant management

30:42system. And there are

30:44definitely some lessons learned.

30:46So thank you for your patience.

30:50Court appointed special

30:52advocates of Sacramento County

30:54Casa. Are you here? Okay.

31:08Daughters of Zion Enterprises,

31:12can you come up, please? Can

31:17you introduce yourself, please?

31:18>> Yeah. Good morning. My name

31:19is Tamara Bennett. We are the

31:22CEO and founder of daughter

31:23Zion Enterprise. And this is

31:25Roshan Perry.

31:28>> Welcome consultant.

31:36>> So it looks like about half

31:40of your request is for laptops,

31:44iPads, pet food charging and

31:47storage formula, hygiene

31:52products. Is that a correct?

31:57>> Yes, sir. Okay.

32:00>> All right. Does anyone else

32:02have any questions for daughter

32:05of Zion Enterprises Enterprise?

32:12Commissioner Brown.

32:13>> Just to confirm, the youth

32:15digital inclusion storage

32:16infrastructure, that's just

32:18memory, essentially.

32:19>> I'm sorry, can you repeat

32:20that?

32:21>> The in the requested list

32:23youth or it lists digital

32:26inclusion and storage

32:27infrastructure. Is that just

32:28memory to. Yes.

32:31>> Sorry. Can you repeat the

32:32question one more time?

32:33>> The digital inclusion and

32:34storage infrastructure that's

32:35listed as like something the

32:37money would go to. Is that just

32:39memory to what are you storing?

32:41I guess essentially.

32:42>> It's really. So we're doing

32:44classes right now with youth

32:47for our next gen classes. And

32:48so it's really giving them

32:50access to be able to have

32:52digital access and to be able

32:54to learn kind of the things

32:57that we're doing as far as our

32:59program to support college and

33:02career readiness. And so it's

33:03kind of walking them through

33:05kind of the back end as well as

33:06the front end to be prepared

33:08for a digital climate.

33:11>> Okay, okay.

33:12>> Thank you.

33:15>> Okay. Any other questions

33:16for them? All right. Thank you

33:18very much. Thank you. We're

33:21going back to color the block.

33:24Is there someone here from

33:25color of the block? Okay.

33:32Moving on then. East End child

33:38Care center. Could you come up,

33:40please?

33:46>> I'm Amy Walker representing

33:47East End child Care Center.

33:51>> Okay. Your request was for

33:54parking fees for staff who are

33:58working full time.

33:59>> Yeah.

33:59>> Okay. That's it's quite a

34:02ways out of what we focus on.

34:04We're focusing on destitute

34:06individuals. So I just wanted

34:09to verify that that's what you

34:10were asking for.

34:12>> Yeah.

34:12>> Any other commissioners have

34:14questions for her. All right.

34:17Thank you.

34:18>> Thank you.

34:26>> Fairy tale town. Could you

34:39introduce yourself to us,

34:40please?

34:40>> Yes. My name is Kevin Smith

34:42and I serve as executive

34:43director at Fairy Tale Town.

34:46>> Okay. Thank you. So I just

34:49want to clarify, your grant

34:52request is to take people to

34:56Fairy Tale Town and pay for the

34:57admission. People that couldn't

34:59otherwise afford to get there.

35:00>> It is primarily for title

35:03one schools, specifically low

35:05income elementary school field

35:07trips, educational field trips

35:09to fairy tale town. So of the

35:12budget submitted, it's

35:13overwhelmingly for

35:15transportation costs to cover

35:17low and moderate income schools.

35:19Bus fees to come to Fairy Tale

35:22Town with a. Then a small

35:24amount to cover the deeply

35:27discounted admission and an

35:30educational workshop that would

35:31be part of the field trip.

35:33>> Okay. Do any other

35:35commissioners have questions?

35:40Nope. Okay. Thank you for being

35:43here. Feed. Sacramento.

35:53Homeless. Okay, one second

35:58please. Does anybody have any

36:13questions for Sacramento

36:15homeless? If you could come up,

36:16please.

36:28>> Bobby Wooten, founder of

36:30Sacramento Homeless.

36:31>> Can you repeat your name,

36:33please?

36:33>> Bobby Wooten. Thank you. No

36:35problem.

36:36>> Welcome.

36:37>> Thank you.

36:38>> Just on my notes, it says

36:39that some of the funding goes

36:40to toys. Is that correct?

36:42>> Well, that is what we

36:44proposed for this year based on

36:46it talked about direct services

36:48and basic needs. And as we have

36:52found with low income families

36:54or families that are unhoused.

36:56Christmas is definitely, you

36:59know, something that is

37:01stressful for them. So for us,

37:03we look at that as a basic need

37:05to be able to supply young,

37:06young kiddos with that, you

37:08know, Christmas and holiday

37:10experience. So, but it, I guess

37:13if that is in issue or, you

37:16know, something that you guys

37:18would not fund, we are

37:20definitely prepared to, to

37:21pivot and still utilize those

37:23funds for food because we do a

37:26holiday, we do three holiday

37:28meals in between November and

37:31December of every year, where

37:32we feed a significant amount of

37:34individuals in need.

37:36>> Thank you.

37:38>> Are there any other

37:39questions? Okay. Thank you very

37:43much.

37:43>> Thank you.

37:48>> First step housing, first

37:50Step Communities. Come on up.

37:55Well, wait a minute. You may

37:56not have to come up. I don't

38:07have any questions. Does

38:08anybody have any questions for

38:10first step housing? Okay. Thank

38:19you for being here. Helping

38:24hands community mission. Are

38:26you here? Great. Hang on one

38:31second. So I have a question

38:43for you. If you could come up,

38:45please.

38:59>> Good morning commissioners.

39:01My name is Jessica Johnson from

39:03Helping Hands Community Mission.

39:04And our goal is to bring 100

39:07nutritionist groceries to 100

39:09families in Sacramento.

39:12>> I had a question about your

39:15application, what the amount of

39:16money you've asked for, which

39:18is within our guidelines. Is

39:24larger than last year's entire

39:26budget for your organization.

39:30And it looks like you were just

39:32incorporated about five months

39:33ago.

39:34>> Correct.

39:34>> So how are you? You're going

39:38from 0 to $10,000, and it

39:42doesn't look like you have a

39:43lot of infrastructure to

39:44support that. Can you describe

39:50how you provide the services or

39:52how you will provide these

39:53services?

39:54>> Absolutely. So we have

39:55partnered with we have fiscal

39:58sponsors as well for this

39:59project, but we decided to come

40:01apply on our own because we

40:03have partnered with the local

40:04credit unions, Toastmasters,

40:06other Sacramento community

40:08services and organizations that

40:10have experience with donations

40:12and fundraisers and things. And

40:14they didn't mind believing in

40:16our vision and actually putting

40:18the work in. They've seen us

40:19from. We started recently in

40:21April, and we have definitely

40:22made impact. And for us to get

40:24these major sponsors like the

40:26bank, our credit union, they

40:28have actually seen us do the

40:29work. This will be our first

40:32funding as far as from the city

40:33of Sacramento, but I have been

40:36on the boards of several

40:37non-profits, so I have been

40:38able to distribute money before.

40:40So this is just our first time

40:42with this specific nonprofit.

40:45>> Okay. Are there any other

40:46questions for her? Okay. Thank

40:51you very much.

40:52>> Have a.

40:53>> Good evening.

40:54>> I appreciate you being here.

40:56Next is Love is the Answer.

40:58Mission ministries. Love is the

41:03answer. Mission ministries. Not

41:08here. Okay. Lucky opportunity

41:24organization. Can you step up,

41:26please?

41:31>> How are you doing? Kashif

41:32Ali, CEO of Lucky Opportunity

41:35Organization.

41:39>> So you requested $50,000.

41:41Our limit for requests is

41:4512,500. So when we go into our

41:47our scoring, we'll just lower

41:50your request and then we'll

41:51apply our scoring criteria.

41:54>> Okay.

41:55>> What you requested is 14

41:57times your entire budget for

41:59last year. Where do you

42:03actually provide these services?

42:06And how could the commission be

42:08assured that this would be how

42:12this would be done?

42:14>> So last year is June is when

42:16the organization was started.

42:19This year, we've raised close

42:21to 40,000, and all of it went

42:23back into the community helping

42:25the youth, the homeless,

42:28families in need. So as of

42:31right now, I believe we have

42:33raised close to 40,000 and

42:34given it back to the community.

42:38>> Does anybody else on the

42:39panel have any questions for

42:41them? 1321 hang on. So it's

42:58listed under Kashif Ali.

43:01>> That's me.

43:03>> Did I did I pronounce that

43:04right?

43:05>> Yeah.

43:05>> Okay. Thank you. Sorry if I

43:07messed it up. We have an issue

43:11that some of these were filed

43:12under the name of the person

43:14applying for the money, and

43:15some of them were filed under

43:17an organization name. So our

43:19rating system has a different

43:20name than our score summary

43:21sheet. So that's why I that's

43:24why there was a little

43:25confusion. Okay. Did you have

43:27question for him? Okay.

43:28>> I have a quick question. I

43:30mean, it, it looks like some of

43:32the areas that you're hoping to

43:35support include like family

43:37activities and school supplies.

43:39And those aren't part of our,

43:41you know, major area of

43:43emphasis, as you know, as

43:44opposed to the transportation,

43:45the food and the housing with

43:46wraparound services. Is that

43:48correct?

43:49>> This year, we did give out

43:51about 200 school backpacks with

43:53supplies in it.

43:55>> But I guess what are the it

43:57looks as though you were

43:59proposing to utilize these

44:00funds for those same types of

44:02activities is that.

44:02>> We're able.

44:03>> To.

44:04>> For, for, for the families

44:06that can't afford school

44:07supplies before the kids go

44:09there. We did that this year.

44:11Okay. Yeah.

44:12>> All right.

44:12>> Thank you. Okay.

44:14>> Any other questions from

44:15commissioners? All right. Thank

44:17you very much for being here.

44:21Midtown Homeless Assistance

44:24Resource Team. Can you come up,

44:31please? Rotator cuff surgery

44:37close.

44:39>> Yes.

44:40>> Dislocated twice. A little

44:42cleanup. David Jones, board

44:45member from Midtown art.

44:48>> Thank you. It looks like

44:51about half of your grant is for

44:53items that are not priority

44:55items for us. So I, I would

44:58encourage you in the future to

45:00like really focus in on what

45:02what we say our priorities are.

45:04Because if your priorities are

45:06our priorities, you end up with

45:08more money. So anyway, does

45:11anyone else have questions for

45:14Midtown homeless assistance

45:16resource? Okay. Thank you. Off

45:20the hook. Have a seat. NorCal.

45:32Resist. Anyone here from NorCal

45:36resist. Okay. Our father's

45:51house outreach. Our father's

45:57house outreach. Oh, come on up,

46:01please.

46:06>> Good morning commissioners.

46:07I'm Felicito Cazares, founder

46:09of our father's House outreach.

46:11And this is my lovely secretary,

46:13Kristi Nix.

46:14>> Thank you.

46:18>> So it looks like about a

46:20quarter of what you've asked

46:21for is for food. And then

46:23there's also pet food, auto

46:25parts, and your request of

46:30$8,350 is four times last

46:32year's total expenditures for

46:34your organization. So can you

46:39talk about. How these funds

46:44will be managed?

46:45>> Sure.

46:45>> So originally we started

46:47feeding unhoused individuals

46:49and families, and February, we

46:55began an adolescence program

46:57because there is so many now

47:01adolescent and youth, unhoused

47:03from aged out foster care. And

47:07I work with title one schools.

47:10Some of the city navigators,

47:13and they have brought this

47:15awareness to us. So we have

47:18actually probably doubled our

47:23food outtake and our hygiene

47:26supplies distribution, and we

47:28have increased from, I want to

47:31say, 16, eight teams to 17

47:36teams now. So we are we have

47:38grown significantly in a very

47:41short amount of time. And we're

47:42very proud of the work we do.

47:45And we are all volunteers. So

47:47all of our expenses are out of

47:50pocket, which we will continue

47:52to do because we enjoy what we

47:54do and we believe what we do is

47:56making a huge difference in

47:57their lives.

47:59>> Okay.

48:00>> Do any other commissioners

48:01have questions for them? Seeing

48:06none, I want to thank you for

48:08being here.

48:08>> Thank you.

48:09>> And we'll move on to the

48:11next organization, Reimagine

48:12Macro Foundation. Does anyone

48:17have any questions for them?

48:23Okay. Thank you for being here.

48:31The next organization is

48:35restoring our community. Is

48:44there anyone here from

48:45restoring our community? Okay.

48:54Next is Roberts Family

48:57Development Center. Thank you.

48:59Does anybody have any questions

49:01for this organization? Yes.

49:16>> Can you turn your microphone?

49:19>> Just the general question,

49:20can we pay past due utilities?

49:22Because that's something they

49:23mentioned on there.

49:24>> We have historically funded

49:28utility assistance. So it

49:30doesn't matter whether it's

49:31it's past due.

49:31>> Or just okay.

49:33>> We have funded utility

49:35assistance many, many times in

49:37the past.

49:38>> Okay. Thank you.

49:40>> Okay. I don't think we have

49:41any questions for you. Thank

49:43you for being here. The next

49:53organization is Sactown Mardi

49:57Gras. Is there a representative

50:00here? Okay. The next one is

50:14Saxophonist Boxing. Is there a

50:16representative? Okay. Could you

50:23come up, please? We really only

50:26need like,

50:27>> One spokesperson. If as long

50:29as you don't need them to

50:30answer other questions. Okay.

50:39Whatever makes you comfortable.

50:41>> I appreciate it. Thank you.

50:44Members of the commission.

50:46>> Can you speak up a little

50:47bit?

50:48>> Thank you. Members of the

50:49commission. My name is Leticia

50:52Aguilar. Santa Ana Lucia

50:55Aguilar, Pinoleville Pomo

50:57Nation. And this is.

50:59>> My name is Sonia, her niece.

51:04>> It looks like quite a bit of

51:07your funding. About a little

51:09over half is for training and

51:11that sort of thing. And about

51:145600 is food and transportation.

51:16Is that a fair summary of what

51:20you're asking for?

51:22>> Yes. So the saxophonist

51:24boxing serves under underserved

51:26youth within the South

51:28Sacramento area. And they come,

51:31they walk, they catch the bus,

51:35and we're getting 25 to 30 kids

51:39a day. And so being able to

51:42provide nutritious hydration

51:45and protein bars and snacks and

51:48alleviating transportation

51:50barriers for them, and also

51:52giving them some things to

51:55alleviate financial burdens,

51:57such as supplies that needed to

52:01be part of the fitness. They're

52:02running miles around the

52:05neighborhood as part of the

52:07program. They're having

52:08disciplinary fitness every day,

52:10Monday through Friday they're

52:11there, and then they're also

52:13being able to compete. It

52:16starts out foundationally, just

52:19with disciplinary, with fitness

52:23really. I'm also the CFO, but I

52:27came in recently as a mother

52:29and seeing the transformation

52:31in my own son and his quality

52:33of health, his mental health

52:34and his choice of foods that he

52:37wants to eat. So it's a program

52:40that's been existent for a long

52:42time through LLC. And Miss

52:46Sonia here has been, along with

52:48the in-kind time of the coaches

52:52that just come together and

52:54create the program. Since 2015

52:59and have been sustaining

53:01through registration fees.

53:03However, there's a lot of

53:05children that are having

53:08financial issues. They're some

53:10of them are undocumented in the

53:12area, really rough area. We

53:15would love for you guys to come

53:17out and even do a site visit

53:18and see the beauty that takes

53:20place, but through the

53:24incorporating and having this

53:25nonprofit coming in again, as a

53:27parent in my own nonprofit

53:29experience, only then was there

53:32capacity to help, right? So

53:35that's where I came in and

53:36helped write the grant for the

53:38first through SAC City, to be

53:40able to receive funding. Does

53:42that help?

53:44>> Thank you very much. Any

53:45other questions? Commissioner

53:48Eubank?

53:49>> So transportation, you say

53:51transportation. What does that

53:53mean?

53:55>> Transportation would be in

53:56the form of right now, gas

53:58prices are really high. Some of

53:59the kids again, there's a lot

54:01of scarcity around being

54:03undocumented. So the parents

54:06are trusting the coaches to

54:09transport them to make sure

54:11that they get to and from back

54:13safely at home, and which that

54:16is an amazing thing that these

54:18kids are still able to partake

54:20in and be active in their

54:22improving their quality of life.

54:24But also, there's kids that

54:25come on the bus. The bus goes

54:27right down 47th. So I didn't

54:30know the bus passes were a part

54:32of that, but any kind of

54:36transportation, but also going

54:37to and from the tournament. So

54:38they also take the children and

54:41there there's various boxing

54:44sites around the area where

54:45they can go and also spar with

54:48other youth, interact, reduce

54:50social isolation and get out of

54:52the area and be able to compete

54:55all the way to Olympic champion

54:58level. Some of the girls have

54:59belts with theirs. They're

55:01serving girls as well and as

55:03well as the young men and all

55:07genders.

55:08>> So is the when you say the

55:11volunteer coaches are taking

55:13them, are we the gas? Is that

55:16what you're asking for? Money

55:17for gas.

55:18>> Gas cards, mileage. We can

55:21create some mileage sheets and

55:23track all expenses through

55:26transportation. Yes.

55:27>> Okay. Thank you.

55:29>> Any other questions?

55:31>> Thank you very much for your

55:32time.

55:33>> Thank you for your time.

55:35>> Sacramento Cottage Housing

55:37Incorporated.

55:54>> Oh my God.

55:57>> I actually have a question.

56:01>> Do you have a questions?

56:03Okay.

56:04>> Hi, I'm Kimberly Diaz. I'm a

56:06contractor with cottage housing

56:07for fund development. Thank you

56:09for having me.

56:10>> Yeah, I guess it goes back.

56:11We had a question earlier about

56:13like holiday baskets and.

56:16>> You speak up a little. I can

56:18barely hear you.

56:19>> Sorry. Sure. I had a

56:20question about the holiday

56:21baskets. It looks like that was

56:22one of the priorities that you

56:24identified as part of the grant

56:27application. And I guess what

56:32to me, that isn't necessarily

56:35something that's a priority for

56:37the grant funds. Can you

56:41describe that? Or can you just

56:43describe what you are planning

56:44on utilizing the grant funds

56:45for?

56:47>> Absolutely. So cottage

56:49housing serves individuals who

56:50are formerly homeless coming in

56:52through coordinated entry. Over

56:5596% of residents have income

56:57under, I think $24,000,

56:59qualifying them as low to

57:00moderate income. So our focus

57:02for the grant was on providing

57:04basic services for the

57:06destitute individuals at the

57:08site. So welcome baskets when

57:10they come in with their, you

57:11know, kind of garbage bag of

57:13stuff to kind of get them, get

57:14them started, get them going.

57:16Basic soap, toothbrush,

57:18toothpaste, kind of those basic

57:20items when they come into to

57:22their cottage. And then the

57:23holiday baskets is, was more

57:25for people that were serving

57:27all of the residents, not just

57:29new residents. And the big

57:30focus on that was food and

57:33providing food options for them

57:34so that they could have shelf

57:36stable milk and different

57:37options in there. And again,

57:38kind of refreshing some of that

57:40hygiene, some socks, kind of

57:43just basic, basic needs, a nice

57:45way to, to serve the residents

57:47and kind of give them something

57:50for the holidays.

57:53>> And you answered all of my

57:54questions too. So are there any

57:56other commissioners with

57:58questions? All right. Thank you

58:00very much.

58:01>> Excuse me. Thank you.

58:04>> Sacramento LGBT Community

58:06Center. Does anybody have any

58:10questions for them? Okay. Thank

58:13you for being here. Sacramento

58:17loaves and fishes.

58:38Okay. No one

58:39here from Sacramento. Loaves

58:40and fishes. That's interesting.

58:43They are a long time grantee. I

58:45don't know what happened.

58:47Sacramento Regional Family

58:48Justice Center. Okay, one

58:51moment please. Do any

58:57commissioners have questions

58:58for this organization? Okay. If

59:00you could step up, please.

59:07>> Hello, my name is Michelle.

59:09I am the domestic violence and

59:12anti-trafficking coordinator

59:13for the Family Justice Center.

59:15One safe place.

59:18>> Commissioner. You back?

59:20>> So I wanted to confirm if

59:23the funds you'd like to use

59:26towards you have two hotel

59:28rooms. Is that what the funds

59:29are going to. Is that what the

59:31funds will pay. Are these two.

59:33>> It's not only the hotel. We

59:35have victims come in. We help

59:36with domestic violence,

59:38restraining orders, and daily.

59:40We're putting people into

59:43motels because there is

59:45absolutely no immediate shelter.

59:48Along with that, most of them

59:49are coming in with nothing and

59:51children. So it's food as well.

59:53And then transportation,

59:54whether that be like an Uber

59:57ride. So it's literally going

1:00:00to shelter, food and

1:00:03transportation.

1:00:06>> And how many how many

1:00:08victims do you see a year?

1:00:10>> Oh, we're the leading agency

1:00:13in Sacramento to provide

1:00:15restraining orders for domestic

1:00:18violence, elder abuse, human

1:00:20trafficking, sexual assault and

1:00:21child abuse. I want to say last

1:00:23year it was probably and we're

1:00:28growing yearly. I want to say

1:00:30maybe over 5 or 6000 people, if

1:00:33not more.

1:00:35>> And I'm focused on the two

1:00:37hotel rooms. So that's the only

1:00:41place that they can be placed.

1:00:42>> No, we have a so we do have

1:00:44an amazing partnership with the

1:00:46owner from a two motels, but we

1:00:49go through a third party. It's

1:00:51called re low share. So if our

1:00:54motels are not available, we go

1:00:56through. It's called Relo share.

1:00:58>> Okay.

1:00:58>> Thank you, thank you.

1:01:01>> Are there any other

1:01:02questions. Okay. Thank you so

1:01:06much for being here.

1:01:07>> Thank you.

1:01:08>> Thank you. Sacramento Youth

1:01:10Center. Could you come up here,

1:01:13please? Thank you.

1:01:23>> Hello, I'm Krystal Gonzalez,

1:01:24director of community Health

1:01:26services at Sacramento Youth

1:01:27Center.

1:01:27>> Thank you. And thank you for

1:01:29speaking up and into the.

1:01:31>> I have a loud mouth.

1:01:33>> Yeah.

1:01:35>> Okay. Your budget was not

1:01:39very clear to me.

1:01:40>> Okay.

1:01:41>> It looks like there's

1:01:42personal care items. Crisis

1:01:44needs. But the budget in

1:01:48general was a little

1:01:51nonspecific for me. Okay. So

1:01:53can you talk about what's

1:01:54included in the 12,450 that you.

1:01:57>> Asked for? I think that the

1:01:59difference is that we meet

1:02:01personal needs one on one. So,

1:02:03for example, if we have a youth,

1:02:06we let me back up. We every

1:02:08week we feed between 40 and 60

1:02:12youth that come in that don't

1:02:13have food. So we feed them,

1:02:15they come in, we give them a

1:02:16meal. So we do that in bulk

1:02:18where we purchase that in bulk.

1:02:20But a lot of times we're doing

1:02:21one on one needs with the youth.

1:02:23So we service approximately 700

1:02:28unique youth a year that come

1:02:29into our drop in center. And so

1:02:32they'll come and they'll say, I

1:02:33need clothes. Like yesterday.

1:02:34Somebody's like, I need a

1:02:36raincoat, it's raining, I need

1:02:37this, I need that. So the

1:02:39budget was just saying that we

1:02:40would give $150 per youth up to,

1:02:44I think it was 83 youth. And we

1:02:46would meet whatever that need

1:02:48is. Like maybe it's food, maybe

1:02:51it's this like, and we had that

1:02:53budget kind of broken down,

1:02:54like 25 max of food for them,

1:02:5725 max of this area. But

1:03:00because it's more of a one on

1:03:01one situation, that's why it's

1:03:04not like a big initiative. It's

1:03:07more giving money directly to

1:03:09that person, to that indigent

1:03:11person that's coming in off the

1:03:12streets, that needs services.

1:03:14Does that make sense?

1:03:16>> Yes. And do they get the

1:03:18items or the food or what they

1:03:20need?

1:03:21>> We do not give them money.

1:03:23We don't give them cash money.

1:03:25No, we we either do a gift card.

1:03:27If it's something that would

1:03:28need to be a gift card or like

1:03:30a bus pass, because we do

1:03:32service youth 14 to 24. So some

1:03:35of them are not eligible for

1:03:36the free bus passes. So we

1:03:38would need to purchase bus

1:03:39passes for some of them, some

1:03:41if they need food, we're going

1:03:42to buy the groceries for them

1:03:44and have them sent because we

1:03:46know if we give money, you know,

1:03:48a lot of times the things that

1:03:50they need aren't actually

1:03:51purchased, unfortunately. So

1:03:53everything we do, we do it by

1:03:55actually purchasing it for them.

1:03:58>> Okay. Does anybody else in

1:04:01the commission have questions?

1:04:02>> I have one, just a quick

1:04:04question. Yes. Do you have a

1:04:05way of tracking who you give

1:04:07and how much?

1:04:09>> Yes. So we have two ways

1:04:11that we do that. First of all,

1:04:13we've received other grants and

1:04:14they required like we did a

1:04:16gift card thing and we would do

1:04:17gift card logs, but we also do

1:04:19an affidavit. So every person

1:04:20that receives any item from us,

1:04:23whether it's a gift card, which

1:04:25we only do, Amazon gift cards

1:04:26just because you can't buy

1:04:27alcohol on Amazon, but we, if

1:04:30we ever did that, we get they

1:04:31have to fill out the affidavit.

1:04:33We keep it in our CRM that says,

1:04:36I received this from whatever

1:04:39the case manager is on this

1:04:42date. And so there's an

1:04:43affidavit that we keep. And we

1:04:44also keep a log.

1:04:46>> Okay. Thank you.

1:04:47>> Yes.

1:04:48>> Thank you very much for

1:04:49being here. Thank you. We'll

1:04:51move on to the next

1:04:52organization. Single Mom Strong.

1:05:00If you can step up.

1:05:07>> Hi, Kimberly Diaz. I'm also

1:05:08a contractor with Single Mom

1:05:10Strong.

1:05:13>> Okay. They're asking you're

1:05:18asking for $7,000 for clothing

1:05:22and seasonal goods. I'm not

1:05:24sure what that is. And then

1:05:26$3,000 for holiday meals and

1:05:29grocery gift cards. And I don't

1:05:34see in the assessment process

1:05:39what. How you determine if

1:05:43they're destitute individuals.

1:05:47And also the past services seem

1:05:50very focused in the Citrus

1:05:52Heights area. So can you speak

1:05:54to those two things?

1:05:55>> Yes. So Single Mom Strong is

1:05:58headquartered in Citrus Heights,

1:05:59and that's where their location

1:06:01has been for years. In 2027,

1:06:03the organization will be ten

1:06:04years old. In 2026, they

1:06:07launched a new site in South

1:06:09Sacramento, which I believe is

1:06:10in the city of Sacramento. And

1:06:11in 2027, a new site is also

1:06:14launching in heartland as part

1:06:15of the expansion plan. So many

1:06:17of the families that we're

1:06:19currently serving live in the

1:06:20city of Sacramento, and with

1:06:21the expansion, we anticipate

1:06:24more families from the city of

1:06:26Sacramento to request the

1:06:28services. Single moms fill out

1:06:30the application themselves, and

1:06:32they explain their situation

1:06:35and their financial situation.

1:06:371 in 4 families in Sacramento

1:06:38County come from single parent

1:06:40households. 96% of the moms

1:06:43that we serve in career

1:06:44advancement qualify as low to

1:06:45moderate income. So we know

1:06:47that this is a population that

1:06:48that needs support. And so we

1:06:51think with the expansion, we're

1:06:53going to have more families

1:06:54serving in the city of

1:06:55Sacramento. And on the

1:06:56application they put their

1:06:57address in. So it's very clear

1:06:59whether they're, you know, in

1:07:00the in the grant, you know,

1:07:03period, application spot or not.

1:07:07>> Okay. Does anybody else on

1:07:11the commission have questions

1:07:12for her? All right. Thank you

1:07:15very much for being here again.

1:12:12summary of the amount you're

1:12:14asking for and what it's for?

1:13:30the amount for each thing. So I

1:13:33just, I needed to be sure I

1:13:34wasn't making assumptions that

1:13:36affected your score. But thank

1:13:38you very much for your

1:13:39information. Any other

1:13:40questions for her?

1:13:43>> Thank you. Thank you.

1:18:39Yancey Outreach. If you could

1:18:48step forward, please.

1:19:02>> I am Mr. Yancey Yancey,

1:19:04program director. I just want

1:19:06to say the program is exactly

1:19:08the same as last year's. We

1:19:10didn't make any changes.

1:19:12>> Okay. So I had a question

1:19:16about where you provide these

1:19:18services.

1:19:20>> It's all in a Sacramento.

1:19:22Those funds are Sacramento,

1:19:24right.

1:19:24>> But how do you get the

1:19:26services to the people? Do they

1:19:28come to, you.

1:19:29>> Know, we're out in the

1:19:30streets. We're an outreach. Our

1:19:33office is only for scheduled

1:19:35counseling sessions, the food

1:19:37and outreach. We are out there

1:19:38with them.

1:19:40>> Okay.

1:19:43>> How many people did you

1:19:45serve last year currently?

1:19:48>> As for the homeless and hot

1:19:50food, I believe we're we're at

1:19:53728 groceries. We are at five

1:19:57something. I don't have all the

1:19:58figures, but we're at five.

1:19:59Something with the grocery bags,

1:20:03bus tickets, I think we were at

1:20:05I mean, bus passes. I think we

1:20:09are. At about, I say 80 or 90.

1:20:23>> Okay. Do any other

1:20:24commissioners have any

1:20:25questions for them? Yes. Go

1:20:28ahead.

1:20:28>> So what parts of Sacramento

1:20:30do you mainly distribute

1:20:32services to? Do you focus on

1:20:33one area or are you kind of

1:20:35like all over the different

1:20:36pockets that have need within

1:20:37the city?

1:20:38>> We have all of Sacramento

1:20:41City, but our hot food, we have

1:20:45encampments that's on

1:20:46Sacramento City and Broadway,

1:20:49those Sacramento cities, that's

1:20:51our hot food and our grocery

1:20:52bags. We have a couple of

1:20:54senior, low and senior citizen

1:20:57housing that need groceries,

1:20:59and those are all in Sacramento

1:21:01City. We make sure that those

1:21:03funds are exactly Sacramento

1:21:05City. We fund our program

1:21:09ourselves in other areas, but

1:21:10these funds have gone directly

1:21:12to Sacramento.

1:21:15>> Three times.

1:21:16>> Any other questions? Thank

1:21:19you for being here today. And

1:21:33last but not least, YMCA of

1:21:36superior, California. YMCA.

1:21:47Okay, just a comment for those

1:21:48of you that are here, one of

1:21:50the requirements to get this

1:21:51grant is to show up to this

1:21:53meeting. And so we have a large

1:21:56number of organizations that

1:21:57aren't here, which is too bad

1:21:59for them. But for you, it means

1:22:02we can. Do you have a question?

1:22:06I can't hear you. Why don't you

1:22:09just come up?

1:22:18>> My name is Brenda Meyer from

1:22:20Africa House, Sacramento. I

1:22:22didn't hear our name mentioned.

1:22:25Sorry.

1:22:31>> So are you a grant applicant?

1:22:34Did you submit a grant request

1:22:36to us?

1:22:37>> Yes, I did.

1:22:38>> Under what business name?

1:22:41>> Africa House. Sacramento.

1:22:44>> Okay, I can check in with

1:22:45them after the meeting, but I

1:22:49don't think they were eligible.

1:22:57>> I have.

1:22:58>> Different spreadsheet.

1:23:02>> So. Documentation and we

1:23:10email them and we.

1:23:15>> Okay, okay.

1:23:17>> Michelle talk to you. All

1:23:22right. So we have completed our

1:23:25scoring and asked our questions.

1:23:27So now the next step is the

1:23:29commissioners based on the

1:23:30answers that were provided,

1:23:33will provide the city staff any

1:23:37revisions to the scores or if

1:23:38they had not scored somebody

1:23:40and they can provide the city

1:23:42staff with the score. And then

1:23:45after that, they'll total

1:23:47everything up, put people in

1:23:48order, and then we'll get back

1:23:52together again to determine the

1:23:53funding per organization. So we

1:23:57need about 20 minutes. Last

1:24:02year we tried to say ten, but

1:24:03it took 20. So we'll just give

1:24:05you 20 minutes. So we're going

1:24:06to take a break for about 20

1:24:09minutes. And then we will come

1:24:12back and do the funding

1:24:14distribution.

1:24:20>> I have no changes.

1:24:23>> And yes.

1:24:23>> There are way to clarify.

1:24:25>> One by one.

1:24:27>> If you have score changes.

1:49:14Our staff is ready when you are.

1:49:22>> We're going to call the

1:49:23meeting back to order at seven

1:49:27minutes to 12. The city has

1:49:31requirements for meetings that

1:49:32they should be conducted within

1:49:35two hours, or they could be

1:49:38extended, but it requires a

1:49:39vote of the commission. So I

1:49:43would like to suggest extending

1:49:45the meeting to 105. Since we

1:49:49started at 1005. Is there

1:49:54someone that would like to

1:49:56second that motion?

1:49:58>> I'll second that motion.

1:50:00>> And clerk, if you'll call

1:50:02the roll.

1:50:03>> Thank you, Vice Chair. That

1:50:05was a motion to extend by Vice

1:50:07Chair Smith with a second by

1:50:09Commissioner Rule. All those in

1:50:11favor, please say I.

1:50:13>> I.

1:50:13>> I any opposed. Abstain.

1:50:19Thank you. Motion passes.

1:50:20>> All right. So we have turned

1:50:23in our changes to the ratings

1:50:26to Mr. Vargas, the city staff.

1:50:29And he is updating a

1:50:31spreadsheet that we will soon

1:50:33show on the screen behind me.

1:50:51So the process is we will

1:50:54display a summary of. The

1:50:58scores for the individuals who

1:51:01are here today. And then we

1:51:05will sort it by score order.

1:51:08And then we will determine

1:51:10funding level based on the

1:51:12scores. And so he is updating

1:51:16the scores. Now if you can give

1:51:19him another couple minutes let

1:51:21me know when you're ready.

1:51:25>> I'm not copying that from

1:51:27the other tab for some reason.

1:51:55Let me write them up.

1:51:57>> Okay. All right. It's okay.

1:52:12>> Now you've made your

1:52:13appearance. That's all that's

1:52:14required. You just won't know

1:52:15the outcome until after the

1:52:18meeting.

1:52:19>> You can watch the meeting

1:52:20live on your phone. Where would

1:52:22I watch that? It's on YouTube

1:52:26as well as on the city websites.

1:52:30You Google watch for the

1:52:32Sacramento City Council

1:52:35meetings.

1:53:27>> And we'll try it now.

1:54:04>> Do we want to do the.

1:54:08>> If there's no requests.

1:54:10>> To put it on record.

1:54:13>> Okay.

1:54:19>> Well, we're waiting for the

1:54:20final scores. For the record,

1:54:21there are no public comments on

1:54:23this item.

1:54:33>> I was there. It's a lot of

1:54:36applicants.

1:56:19Just three more

1:56:21scores.

1:57:00There you go. You

1:57:04should be seeing them by

1:57:08highest to lowest score. Now on

1:57:09the screen.

1:57:13>> There scores of one digit.

1:57:20>> Zeros for that one. This is

1:57:21three digits right here.

1:57:23>> Okay.

1:57:25>> It's just top to bottom.

1:57:29>> Okay. All right. The total

1:57:38scores that you're seeing on

1:57:39the board. There's one where

1:57:44the name has disappeared after

1:57:46the gathering spot gathering in.

1:57:53>> Figure out who it is. It's

1:58:02the gathering. All right. Sorry.

1:58:06Just kidding. Why is it doing

1:58:10this?

1:58:14>> It's not an easy thing to do.

1:58:16I.

1:58:18>> I feel all the all the eyes

1:58:20watching.

1:58:50>> All. I have all the scores.

1:58:52Now, listen to another

1:58:55spreadsheet. This is not

1:58:56working. How it's supposed to.

1:59:04>> So, did you take off the no

1:59:06shows?

1:59:07>> Yeah. The issue is once I

1:59:08try to sort them from highest

1:59:10to lowest, it's doing weird

1:59:11things for some reason. So I'm

1:59:15just going to create a new tab

1:59:16and try to do it there. But.

1:59:26And be. Considered a row above

1:59:33agency name. Funds requested as

1:59:40okay.

2:00:19All right. Sorry about

2:00:20that. Here you go. Just had to

2:00:23create a whole new tab. But we

2:00:26are good now. So we have total

2:00:37about 30 organizations that did

2:00:42end up with a final score. Our

2:00:44lowest score is a 92, and our

2:00:48highest score is a 467. The way

2:00:52you've done it in the past is

2:00:54you have decided like a cut off,

2:00:56so everybody above a certain

2:00:58score will get funded. I don't

2:01:01know where that natural cutoff

2:01:03would be for this one. And if

2:01:05you want to do it the same, or

2:01:07you just want to try to award

2:01:09until we run out of funds. It's

2:01:11the commission's decision at

2:01:13that point.

2:01:26>> And then, but I wouldn't I

2:01:29would transfer down to just.

2:01:33>> Oh, this is right here.

2:01:35>> Yeah.

2:01:36>> Also, can you make one more

2:01:38adjustment? Because there's one

2:01:39organization that had a request

2:01:41that was greater than the total

2:01:43grant allotment allowed. And

2:01:45that. Yeah. Right there.

2:01:49>> 12. Five.

2:01:52>> Okay.

2:01:59>> And so the score is an is it

2:02:03an average of the ratings? Is

2:02:07that what the total score is?

2:02:10>> It's a total.

2:02:14>> So the total score is the

2:02:17the aggregate of all the

2:02:19commissioners scores together.

2:02:22>> Okay. So hang on one second.

2:02:34Can you scroll down.

2:02:56So there

2:02:57was total scores of 502. The

2:03:03total scores aren't making

2:03:05sense to me because we had

2:03:06scores higher than this.

2:03:11>> Right? So yes, the

2:03:13commission does not allow proxy

2:03:16voting. So even though

2:03:17Commissioner Calero had

2:03:19submitted scores, we had to

2:03:20take those out because he's not

2:03:22here. So it will lower the

2:03:25total scores. Yes.

2:03:42>> All right. It disappeared on

2:03:44my screen again.

2:03:50>> So would the.

2:03:51>> Commission like to discuss

2:03:52how you would like to approach

2:03:55scoring? If you would like to

2:03:56give a flat amount across?

2:03:57>> Yeah, we usually put them in

2:04:00order and then we decide the.

2:04:04There's another spreadsheet

2:04:05that applies percentages and we.

2:04:08>> Brian's working on that up

2:04:09there, but they are in order

2:04:11here. And you can see them by

2:04:14ranked order. Right.

2:04:15>> We need to there's a

2:04:17spreadsheet that has a total

2:04:19dollars available. And then we

2:04:22adjust the cutoffs based on the

2:04:24total dollars available and the

2:04:25total scores. And then we also

2:04:28generally will set a cutoff

2:04:31which would be. What are the

2:04:35total points available. I would

2:04:42recommend a cutoff of about 60%,

2:04:46but it's up to the up to the

2:04:50commission. We also had a

2:04:52larger number than usual that

2:04:56didn't show up. So why don't we

2:04:58start with can you scroll down,

2:05:02Brian?

2:05:02>> Yes. I'm trying to create

2:05:05the formula for this. Right

2:05:13here.

2:05:14>> So there's you have all

2:05:15these scores on here that are

2:05:18the people that are no shows,

2:05:19right. That's what the zero.

2:05:22Can you take those out. Okay.

2:05:29Now I need to see the totals.

2:05:35>> The total score.

2:05:39>> Now the total requests that

2:05:42were scored.

2:05:46>> Total for. 337.

2:05:57>> And we have 225. Okay.

2:06:03>> 225.

2:06:03>> If you give me one second, I

2:06:05can make this table aggregate.

2:06:08So as we go down.

2:06:12>> Plus that. Yeah.

2:06:16>> Oh. Well, you also can do it

2:06:20by looking at the total at the

2:06:22end of the funding allocation.

2:06:25Okay. So oops.

2:06:27>> Well we just wanted to cut

2:06:28off when we get to 225. Right.

2:06:32>> Well no, our total has to be

2:06:36225. But we need to decide

2:06:38where we're going to cut off

2:06:41for the 100%. And then we go

2:06:46down to 90 or 95 depending on

2:06:48how much money we have. So our

2:06:51our prior thing had 190, 80, 60,

2:06:56and anything that was below.

2:07:0160%, I think last year or year

2:07:04before is not funded because we

2:07:09don't want to give somebody

2:07:12$200. And we've agreed that the

2:07:14people that should get most of

2:07:15the money are at the top. Right.

2:07:20>> So in the past, once you

2:07:22decide that natural, natural

2:07:24cut off, then you start saying,

2:07:27okay, 100, then we go down to

2:07:2990, 95. We've kind of messed

2:07:30around with the formula, the,

2:07:32the spreadsheet you're talking

2:07:35about is this one, but it's not

2:07:37working as it usually does. So

2:07:39we just made a new one right

2:07:41here on the spot. But it's the

2:07:42same thing. So as we adjust the

2:07:45percentages, it will adjust the

2:07:47award amount and then how much

2:07:48we've allocated aggregate. Yeah.

2:07:51Aggregate up to this point. So

2:07:54if all of this got 100% at this

2:07:56point we would run out of

2:07:58funding. So right. This is

2:07:59right. So as we go down we can

2:08:01say, okay, anybody above.

2:08:03>> So dang it.

2:08:06>> Can I make a.

2:08:07>> Touching the screen and then

2:08:08everything.

2:08:09>> For 25. So anything greater

2:08:11than 425 is 100%. And that

2:08:14would be our first break point.

2:08:16>> Let's try it. And then

2:08:18starting at 423, no.

2:08:20>> 429 would be 100. And then

2:08:23423 would be 9090. And then

2:08:28copy that down and see what

2:08:30happens.

2:08:30>> Down to 405.

2:08:32>> Sure. And then do 75 at that

2:08:39point. See what happens.

2:08:41>> Down to.

2:08:44>> So I want I would like to

2:08:47advocate with a total of around

2:08:51the total available around 500.

2:08:54Is that right? Because 99 per

2:08:5799 points available. So the

2:09:00total would be 497. I'd like to

2:09:04advocate for scores below 60%

2:09:09of that total to to not be

2:09:13funded or drop the. What is 60%

2:09:19of four, 82, 98? Okay. So my

2:09:27thought is that 290 that below

2:09:30300 should be in the zero

2:09:34funding category. And then we

2:09:40need some. Try cutting off the

2:09:4675 at. 367 and go to 60%.

2:10:17So

2:10:18let's. Let's take out anything

2:10:23below 336. Change those to

2:10:28zeros and see where we are. And

2:10:32we have. 220 right.

2:10:35>> 225 correct.

2:10:37>> So I would leave us with

2:10:38about five grand left.

2:10:39>> So we have about 5 or $6000.

2:10:44That's just me. So feel free to

2:10:46chime in for other

2:10:50commissioners. Try making the

2:11:0260, 60 or.

2:11:04>> 65 and see if.

2:11:06>> We can get 5%.

2:11:08>> There you go.

2:11:26I'm good with

2:11:26that. I think.

2:11:29>> That's. The other thing we

2:11:39could do is make the 7576 and

2:11:44see if that gets if that takes

2:11:47care of the other.

2:11:53>> Don't get us at 222.

2:12:01>> Want to make them 77 and see

2:12:03what that does.

2:12:20That's pretty

2:12:21close. Any commissioners have

2:12:25thoughts about how it's laying

2:12:27out?

2:12:33>> I agree with.

2:12:36>> Yes.

2:12:38>> What if we raise the bottom

2:12:39ones to 70%?

2:12:42>> The 65.

2:12:44>> To 70.

2:12:45>> We could do that. See if

2:12:47that.

2:12:51>> Yeah.

2:12:51>> There you go. That did it.

2:12:55>> I'm curious and I think it

2:12:57would be great to tell the

2:13:00organization sitting here why

2:13:01what the natural cutoff is and

2:13:03why. What's the reasoning for

2:13:05cutting off at that point, if

2:13:08there is one?

2:13:09>> Well, we historically we've

2:13:12looked at the scoring and the

2:13:14if they're in that 60%, if they

2:13:16have to get at least 60% to get

2:13:19any money, because a score

2:13:23that's 60% of the possible

2:13:25total is, you know, if you were

2:13:27in school, that would be a

2:13:29failing grade, probably. Or at

2:13:33least when I was in school 100

2:13:35years ago. And so historically,

2:13:38we've found a cutoff and we've

2:13:42had the bottom 6 to 8 people

2:13:46not get funding because our

2:13:48goal is to reward the people

2:13:50who most closely meet our

2:13:53funding criteria and our

2:13:55funding priorities. And so we

2:14:00bump amounts up rather than.

2:14:07Give people a grant because

2:14:08they asked for it.

2:14:10>> Okay. So that is the cutoff

2:14:11is 60% score.

2:14:13>> That's that's what we did.

2:14:15The 60% is 300. So. We cut it

2:14:22off because there is a break

2:14:23between three. A break before

2:14:28320. That's.

2:14:31>> Thank you. No I think that

2:14:33is helpful.

2:14:34>> Yeah.

2:14:35>> Yeah. And for those that

2:14:36have been through this over and

2:14:38over again, you've seen us do

2:14:39this every year. So the other

2:14:45thing I want to talk about is

2:14:47there are some of these that

2:14:49are on this list that we don't

2:14:50have current secretary or

2:14:54secretary, no attorney

2:14:55general's office certification

2:14:58about their their status. Right.

2:15:03And so if those people end up

2:15:06not being able to get that

2:15:08corrected and updated in time,

2:15:11how do we want to allocate the

2:15:14funds? The other thing we could

2:15:20do is if they don't get if they

2:15:22don't meet that requirement

2:15:24before it's time to issue the

2:15:25grant funds, we can just roll

2:15:27over that money and it'll be

2:15:28available next year. So there's

2:15:31really there's a couple of

2:15:32options about how to do it. So

2:15:35any thoughts?

2:15:36>> Sorry, can I interrupt? It

2:15:38would be really great if,

2:15:39before we get to that

2:15:41discussion, we could have

2:15:42consensus among the

2:15:43commissioners upon the scoring

2:15:45and the award if if possible.

2:15:46Or are you thinking that this.

2:15:48>> We have to take a vote. And

2:15:50the vote should include

2:15:52everything, because it's a

2:15:54single agenda item that would

2:15:55be voting on.

2:15:56>> I just want to make sure

2:15:57that there weren't further

2:15:59comments from commissioners on

2:16:00the.

2:16:00>> I was going to I was going

2:16:02to ask that. Okay. After I

2:16:04asked this question.

2:16:05>> Okay. Apologies.

2:16:05>> That's all right. Are there

2:16:08any thoughts on how to

2:16:09distribute leftover funds? If

2:16:11any of these people don't have

2:16:12their. We don't have the

2:16:16certifications on their

2:16:17eligibility back.

2:16:20>> Do we know if it's a major

2:16:22issue for many of the grant

2:16:25applicants?

2:16:28>> Where is that list?

2:16:29>> No, there's only a few. And

2:16:32what would happen? And this is

2:16:34something that has happened in

2:16:35the past with a different grant

2:16:37that we. That I also manage is

2:16:39like, they'll report they're

2:16:41supposed to be updated in

2:16:42November and they won't

2:16:43actually be updated until March.

2:16:45But if the agency submits proof,

2:16:49the confirmation emails from

2:16:51the attorney General's office

2:16:53saying, we've received your

2:16:55your report and it is prior to

2:17:00November 4th, then they would

2:17:01be counted and we would just

2:17:03keep checking the website for

2:17:06them to get updated, as long as

2:17:08they're not delinquent, they

2:17:11would still be eligible for for

2:17:13a contract. Correct?

2:17:17>> Hi. Good morning or good

2:17:19afternoon everyone. Jill with

2:17:20the city Attorney's office. Yes,

2:17:22Brian is correct. We have

2:17:24noticed in the last couple of

2:17:26years things have just been

2:17:28slower in terms of paperwork

2:17:30and processing paperwork. So we

2:17:32certainly do not want that to

2:17:33be an issue with our grantees,

2:17:37our community based

2:17:39organizations. So as Brian

2:17:40mentioned, we will consider a

2:17:43totality of factors. So if they

2:17:45have been current in years past,

2:17:47they haven't had any issues of

2:17:49delinquencies that we can see

2:17:50on the website. We can see that

2:17:52truly this is a processing

2:17:53error that they are current

2:17:55with the Secretary of State's

2:17:56website here in California. So

2:17:59we'll look at it from that

2:18:00perspective. Right now, the if

2:18:04we were to have a grantee that

2:18:07is delinquent or we do see some

2:18:09issues that come up and arise,

2:18:12the default approach would be

2:18:13that any funds that were

2:18:14allocated to them will go back

2:18:16to the. And lands that the

2:18:19grant. So that would be the

2:18:21default option.

2:18:23>> Okay. Are there any

2:18:26commissioners that have an

2:18:27issue with just letting the

2:18:28letting the funds go back into

2:18:30the memorial fund and be

2:18:33available next year? Okay. All

2:18:36right. Is there any more

2:18:39discussion about the ratings?

2:18:41Anybody think we ought to

2:18:43adjust something or are you

2:18:45okay with the way it has laid

2:18:47out here?

2:18:54>> We have two organizations

2:18:55that are out there that are

2:18:57getting funds because we're out

2:18:58of funds. If any of the other

2:19:01ones become ineligible.

2:19:33>> Okay. Would somebody like to

2:19:35make a motion to approve this,

2:19:39or are there any other comments

2:19:42that we want to make before we

2:19:44approve?

2:19:46>> I'll make a motion to

2:19:47approve.

2:19:48>> Motion. I'll second.

2:19:51>> I'm sorry. You talked over

2:19:52each other.

2:19:54>> I'll make a motion to

2:19:55approve.

2:19:56>> And I'll second.

2:19:57>> Okay. Thank you. All right.

2:20:03>> Commissioner.

2:20:05>> Did you get the names?

2:20:07>> Yes.

2:20:08>> Thank you for that.

2:20:10Confirming that that was a

2:20:11motion by Commissioner Seymour

2:20:13with a second by Commissioner

2:20:17Contreras. Correct? Yes. Thank

2:20:19you. Could all commissioners

2:20:21unmute your microphones for a

2:20:23vote? All those in favor,

2:20:25please say aye.

2:20:27>> Aye.

2:20:28>> Any opposed? Abstain. Thank

2:20:32you. Motion passes.

2:20:35>> Okay. Thank you all for

2:20:38hanging out. The last item on

2:20:39the agenda is Commissioner.

2:20:42Comments. Ideas. Questions. And

2:20:46just as a reminder for

2:20:48commissioners we will go. Our

2:20:50next meeting we're going to do

2:20:52a lessons learned. Since we

2:20:54have a whole new system. And so

2:20:58please make note of any

2:20:59challenges or things you think

2:21:00could be improved as we move

2:21:04forward. Are there any

2:21:05commissioners that have

2:21:07comments, ideas or questions?

2:21:15Okay. We do have one. So public

2:21:24comments not on the agenda. Are

2:21:26there any public comments?

2:21:37>> Thank you chair. We do not

2:21:39have any speakers on this item.

2:21:41>> Okay.

2:21:42>> All right. That concludes

2:21:44our work. An hour or half hour

2:21:47ahead of schedule. That's good.

2:21:49Thank you all commissioners,

2:21:51for being here. And thank you

2:21:54all for being here.
