          ALRIGHT, GOOD.

          AND THAT WAS, UH, ON PURPOSE TO MAKE SURE THAT WE CAN SUPPORT ALL OF THE SUBCOMMITTEES AND THE WORK THAT THEY'RE DOING OUT THERE. 
          IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT TO TRY AND ENGAGE, BUT FOR US TO ENGAGE, UH, WE MEAN WE WANT TO TALK TO YOU. 
          WE WANNA TRY AND GET TO YOUR, UM, GIVE YOU THE, THE RESOURCES YOU NEED IN ORDER TO REACH THE FOLKS IN YOUR COMMUNITIES.

          ALL RIGHT, THAT'S GOOD. 
          THE LAST THING I WANTED TO MENTION QUICKLY WAS THAT I GOT SOME GREAT NEWS THIS MORNING. 
          SO I KNOW THAT TEXAS IS ENGAGING, UM, UH, THE DIFFERENT COMMUNITIES THROUGHOUT TEXAS. 
          UM, AND SO, UM, I HEARD THIS MORNING THAT DALLAS HAS ALLOCATED $1.2 MILLION FOR THE CENSUS EFFORTS IN THAT COMMUNITY. 
          AND HOUSTON INDIC, UH, ALSO ALLOCATED $5.6 MILLION FOR THEIR EFFORTS IN THE CENSUS OPERATIONS, UH, UM, YOU KNOW, FOR 2020. 
          SO AGAIN, JUST, UH, SOME GREAT NEWS ACROSS TEXAS. 
          IT'S GONNA BE VERY IMPORTANT THAT WE GET THE PEOPLE OUT THERE COMPLETING THEIR CENSUS FORMS, BECAUSE AS YOU ALREADY KNOW, IT TRANSLATES INTO FEDERAL DOLLARS AS WELL AS, UH, REPRESENTATION, RIGHT? AND THAT'S WHAT WE ALL WANT. 
          THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR, UH, WE'LL BE AROUND HERE THROUGH THE END OF THE COMMITTEE MEETINGS AND SO ON OR BRIEFINGS IN CASE ANYONE HAS ANY QUESTIONS. 
          APPRECIATE IT. 
          ALRIGHT, SO I DON'T WANNA STAND BETWEEN THE COMMITTEE PRESENTATIONS, SO I'LL BE QUICK. 
          . 
          SO THIS IS, AS YOU CAN SEE HERE, OUR ORG CHART, UH, AS OF MAY 20TH, 2019. 
          AND AS, UM, MR. ALFARO REFERENCED, WE'RE ALIGNED IN MANY WAYS FROM THAT SUBCOMMITTEE, UH, ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE, WHICH IS IMPORTANT. 
          WHAT WE'RE SUPER EXCITED ABOUT IS THAT WE'VE EVOLVED, UM, AND WE RECOGNIZE THE IMPORTANCE, UM, THAT THIS DEFINITELY HAS THE ELEMENTS OF, YOU KNOW, COMMITTEES. 
          BUT BELOW THERE'S EVEN MORE DEFINED APPROACHES, WHICH THE COMMITTEES CHAIRS WILL BE PRESENTING ON AS IT RELATES TO GOING DEEPER INTO, UM, THE POPULATIONS, UH, THAT ARE LISTED UP AT THE TOP. 
          SO THEY HAVE THESE IN THEIR FOLDER, RIGHT? GREAT. 
          SO REALLY JUST EXCITING, UH, TO SEE AGAIN, THE EVOLUTION. 
          AND WE JUST GOT STARTED. 
          UM, AND TO KICK US OFF, TODAY'S MEETING IS REALLY GOING TO BE ABOUT HEARING THE THOUGHTS AND THE STRATEGIES PUT TOGETHER BY THE COMMITTEES. 
          AND IN DOING THAT, WE WILL BE TAKING, UM, NOTES PROFUSELY. 
          AS I MENTIONED, THE MEETING IS ACTUALLY BEING RECORDED AS WELL, SO WE'LL BE ABLE TO REFLECT ON SOME OF THE COMMENTS, UM, AND IDEAS 
          [00:15:01]
THAT ARE FORMING. 
          IT IS IMPORTANT FOR US TO ALSO KEEP ON SCHEDULE . 
          UH, IT'S 1130, UH, AND WE PROMISE TO HAVE YOU OUT BY ONE OR IF NOT SOONER. 
          UH, IF IT'S UP TO THE, MY CO-CHAIR AND I, AND IN DOING SO, WHAT WOULD BE GREAT IS IF YOU DO HAVE QUESTIONS TO PLEASE HOLD THOSE QUESTIONS, UM, SO THAT THEY CAN GET THROUGH THE PRESENTATIONS AND THEN SHARE THOSE QUESTIONS WITH EITHER DWAYNE OR BERTHA AS IT RELATES TO, UM, JUST DOING SOME FOLLOW UPS. 
          UM, IT'S IMPORTANT FOR US, AGAIN, JUST TO MAKE SURE THAT WE HONOR YOUR TIME, UM, BUT ALSO LISTEN AND KIND OF ALLOW THE INFORMATION TO SEEP IN SO THAT WE, UH, CAN, YOU KNOW, IF YOU'RE AN INTROVERT OR AN EXTROVERT, IT DEPENDS ON HOW YOU TAKE INFORMATION IN, RIGHT? I WAS JUST TALKING TO SOMEONE ABOUT THAT. 
          BUT WHAT I'M REALLY EXCITED ABOUT, UH, IS THAT WE'RE ALSO GOING TO UNVEIL, UM, OUR INFORMATION AS A COMMITTEE. 
          UM, AND I'M GONNA HAND THIS OVER TO REBECCA SO SHE CAN PUT SOME MORE LOGISTICS AROUND IT. 
          AND THEN I THINK THAT'S WHAT WE'LL BE MOVING TO, RIGHT? YES. 
          ALL RIGHT, MA'AM. 
          SHE'S THE ENFORCER GUYS, JUST SO YOU KNOW, SHE'S EACH, WHEN EACH COMMITTEE CHAIR COMES UP TO, UH, TO MAKE THE PRESENTATION, YOU HAVE A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF TIME TO, TO DO YOUR PITCH. 
          AND THEN AS THE ENFORCER, I WILL TELL YOU HOW MUCH TIME YOU HAVE LEFT, WRAP AND SIT. 
          AND, AND IT'S, AND IT'S, AND IT'S REALLY, TO BE FAIR, THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF WORK BY ALL OF THE COMMITTEES, BY ALL OF YOU, FOR HAVING PUT IN YOUR TIME OVER THE SUMMERS. 
          I MENTIONED EARLIER. 
          SO THERE'S, THERE'S MORE STORIES THAN WHAT IS ACTUALLY GOING TO BE PUT ON, ON THE, ON THE SCREEN TODAY, BUT YOU KNOW, THE STORIES THAT YOU'VE DONE. 
          AND AS WE GO INTO THIS FALL SESSION, THIS NEXT ROUND, WHEN WE MEET AGAIN IN NOVEMBER, A LOT OF THAT MEAT WILL START TO BE PUT TOGETHER. 
          WE'LL HAVE COMPLETE MEALS. 
          SO I'M, I'M, WE'RE REALLY EXCITED ABOUT TODAY BECAUSE IT IS THE BEGINNING OF HOW THE PROCESS IS GOING TO ENROLL BASED ON THE WORK YOU HAVE DONE, BECAUSE IT'S NOT HAPPENING WITHOUT YOU AND, AND BY THE DEDICATION THAT YOU HAVE PROVIDED ALREADY DURING THIS SHORT TIME PERIOD OF THE PAST FOUR MONTHS. 
          AND WE'VE GOT ANOTHER YEAR AHEAD OF US. 
          SO THANK YOU SO MUCH. 
          AND WE'RE GOING TO, UH, HAVE, UH, AN UNVEILING, WHICH IS REALLY, REALLY COOL. 
          PRESENTATION FIRST, OKAY. 
          THERE'S GONNA BE A, WE'RE GONNA HAVE AN UNVEILING OF THE WORK THAT HAS BEEN DONE BY THE, UH, BY THE MEDIA AND COMMUNICATIONS COMMITTEE. 
          SO WITH THAT, IT'S TUESDAY. 
          TUESDAY, THANK YOU. 
          TUESDAY. 
          THANK YOU, REBECCA. 
          UH, GOOD MORNING EVERYONE. 
          MORNING. 
          YOU WERE SO MUCH MORE EXCITED EARLIER. 
          GOOD MORNING, , . 
          I GET TO DO THE FUN PART. 
          SO THAT MEANS YOU HAVE TO GIVE THAT BACK TO ME BECAUSE I'M ACTUALLY DOING THE UNVEIL, WHICH IS SO EXCITING. 
          SO I ASKED FOR CONFETTI EARLIER. 
          I DON'T THINK I HAVE IT, BUT I'LL DO THE BEST THAT I CAN. 
          SO, UM, , THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR HAVING ME. 
          I'M TUESDAY NIGHT. 
          I'M THE MEDIA AND COMMUNICATIONS CHAIR. 
          UM, WE ALL KNOW THE IMPORTANCE OF AN ACCURATE AND FAIR COUNT. 
          I REPRESENT THE EAST SIDE OF SAN ANTONIO, WHICH HAS BEEN PRETTY MUCH DISENFRANCHISED ALONG WITH SEVERAL OTHER PARTS OF THE CITY. 
          WE ARE TRYING TO MAKE SURE THAT THAT DOESN'T HAPPEN THIS YEAR. 
          THE IMPORTANCE OF THIS CENSUS MEANS THAT WE HAVE THAT COUNT, MEANING THAT WE'RE GONNA GET THOSE DOLLARS THAT WE NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT EVERYTHING HAPPENS IN SAN ANTONIO THAT WE NEED TO HAVE HAPPEN. 
          SO WITH THAT, ALRIGHT, SO THE VETTING PROCESS, WE DECIDED THAT WE NEEDED TO LOOK AT SOME OTHER LOGOS. 
          THERE IS A NATIONAL LOGO THAT IS GOING TO BE UNVEILED AS WELL, BUT WE WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE TALKED ABOUT WHAT THE LOCAL FEEL OF A LOGO WOULD LOOK LIKE. 
          SO OUR SMALL AND MIGHTY MEDIA AND COMMUNICATIONS COMMITTEE BACK THERE, WE HAD SEVERAL DISCUSSIONS ABOUT WHAT THAT NEEDED TO LOOK LIKE. 
          SO WITH OF COURSE, OUR COMPLETE COUNT COMMITTEE CHAIRS, THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR LEADERSHIP. 
          UM, WE LOOKED AT SEVERAL, UM, PEOPLE TO INVITE TO THE STEERING COMMITTEE. 
          SO WE INVITED THOSE PEOPLE, THEY CAME IN. 
          THEN WE ALSO USED THE CITY OF SAN ANTONIO. 
          SO JEFF COYLE, I SAW HIM WALK IN. 
          THANK YOU. 
          AND, UH, MEGAN DODGE. 
          IS MEGAN HERE? UH, NO, SHE'S ACTUALLY, SHE'S GONE ON TO KANSAS. 
          SHE'S GONE TO KANSAS. 
          OKAY. 
          AND THEN, UM, WE HAVE SOME OTHER MEMBERS OF THE BEAR COUNTY, UH, UH, LINDA RIVAS, MONICA RAMOS, AND OF COURSE DWAYNE. 
          THANK YOU SO MUCH AGAIN. 
          AND THOMAS GUEVARA. 
          IS SHE HERE? NO. 
          PERFECT. 
          ALRIGHT, SO MOVING ALONG. 
          SO WE TOOK THE QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DATA ANALYSIS. 
          THERE'S A REPORT, IT WAS A NATIONWIDE STUDY CALLED THE CBAS. 
          AND WHAT THEY DID WAS THEY INTERVIEWED 50,000 HOUSEHOLDS TO DETERMINE WHAT THE IMPEDIMENTS TO GOING TO A CENSUS LOOKED LIKE. 
          I'LL TALK A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT THAT IN OUR PRESENTATION, BECAUSE I KNOW THAT WE NEED, WE ARE ON A TIME LIMIT, BUT THERE WERE SEVERAL THINGS THAT MADE A BIG DIFFERENCE. 
          LOW PROFICIENCY IN INTERNET OR NO INTERNET AT ALL. 
          YOUNG CHILDREN, RURAL AREAS, SEVERAL OTHER FACTORS. 
          SO WE TOOK ALL OF THOSE INTO CONSIDERATION. 
          WHEN WE DID THAT, WE UNDERSTOOD THAT THERE'S A MINDSET OF PEOPLE NOT WANTING TO PARTICIPATE IN THE CENSUS. 
          [00:20:01]
THAT MEANT FROM ANY TYPE OF CITIZENSHIP QUESTION. 
          THAT WAS A DISCUSSION THAT MEANT, AGAIN, SOME OF THOSE IMPEDIMENTS THAT I TALKED TO ON ACCESS. 
          UM, AND WE KNEW THAT, BUT WE WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE MADE IT ACCESSIBLE, FRIENDLY, AND SO FORTH. 
          SO WE LOOKED AT ALL OF THOSE THINGS AND THEN WE DECIDED TO COME UP WITH SOME MESSAGING. 
          WITH THAT MESSAGING, AGAIN, CAME FROM THAT DATA-DRIVEN DECISIONS. 
          WE HAD 13 LOGOS TO LOOK AT. 
          THE COMMITTEE LOOKED AT ALL OF THEM AND REALLY DISSECTED WHAT THOSE PIECES MEANT AND WHAT THAT WOULD MEAN TO OUR COMMUNITY. 
          SO FOUR LOGOS WERE THEN APPROVED BY OUR COMMITTEE AND THEN PASSED ALONG, AND THEN THOSE LOGOS WERE REVIEWED. 
          SO WHEN THOSE TWO, WHEN THOSE LOGOS WERE PRESENTED, THEN WE VOTED ON THE TWO. 
          NOW WE ARE A HEAVILY SPANISH POPULATION. 
          WE KNOW THAT SPANISH LANGUAGE IS IMPORTANT IN ALL OF THE DOCUMENTATION AND COMMUNICATIONS THAT WE HAVE. 
          SO WITH THAT BEING SAID, WE HAD TO HAVE A SPANISH VERSION. 
          SO WE KNOW, COUNT ME IN IS THE NATIONAL, BUT AMIGO IS GONNA BE VERY, VERY SAN ANTONIO. 
          WE WANTED TO MAKE SURE WE FOCUSED ON THE COLORS, THE FEEL, THE EXPRESSION, AND SO THIS IS WHAT WE CAME UP WITH, OR WOO, HERE WE GO. 
          SO THE COUNT ME IN, OBVIOUSLY, AND THEN THE QUANT AL AND THE PURPOSE IS THE CHECK. 
          THE AL IS VOTE WITH ME, STAND WITH ME, SPEAK WITH ME. 
          WE WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY KNOW IN OUR COMMUNITY THAT WE WANT THEIR PARTICIPATION AS WELL AS OUR ENGLISH SPEAKERS AS WELL. 
          SO I'M NOT GONNA FORGET THE COUNT ME IN, BUT, UM, WE ARE VERY EXCITED ABOUT THE LOGO. 
          WE'RE VERY EXCITED ABOUT WHAT IT REPRESENTS AND THE WORK THAT WE'RE GONNA DO HERE TODAY. 
          WE HAVE OUR FIRST COLLATERAL PIECE, AND I WAS ALSO TOLD THAT WE HAVE OUR FIRST COLLATERAL PIECE CREATED. 
          SO WE ARE GONNA GO AHEAD AND PASS THOSE OUT. 
          THANK YOU, BERTHA. 
          UM, AND SO WE WILL HAVE THOSE, BUT AGAIN, I'LL GIVE YOU A LITTLE BIT MORE INFORMATION WHEN I TALK A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT THE COMMITTEE WORK ITSELF. 
          UM, SO LASTLY, UH, THIS PRETTY MUCH JUST THUMBS UP EVERYTHING THAT WE SAID. 
          THE COLORS ARE WELCOMING. 
          IF YOU NOTICE THEY'RE A LITTLE SPURS REMINISCENT. 
          UM, , I'M GLAD YOU SAW THAT. 
          UH, SO WE WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT, AGAIN, WE ARE REPRESENTING THE HEART OF OUR COMMUNITY. 
          IT'S ATTENTION GRABBING. 
          THE HAND IS, AGAIN, TO SPEAK WITH OURSELVES AND THE CHECK MARK. 
          UH, WE HAD SEVERAL PEOPLE LOOK AT THE LOGOS TO MAKE SURE. 
          SO THESE ARE JUST EXPRESSIONS AND REVIEWS FROM SOME PEOPLE THAT LOOKED AT THEM AS WE WERE GOING ALONG THE PROCESS. 
          AND EVERY SINGLE ONE WAS CONSISTENT. 
          THEY LIKED THE HAND, IT WAS EYE CATCHING. 
          IT WOULD ACTUALLY LOOK WELL ON A COLLATERAL PIECE, UM, AND SO FORTH. 
          SO WE WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE HAD THAT. 
          SO THOSE ARE JUST SOME OF THE VIEWS, AND I'LL LET YOU READ THOSE FOR YOURSELF. 
          OKAY. 
          NOW WE'LL GO AHEAD AND WE'LL GET STARTED WITH, WITH THE COMMITTEE PRESENTATIONS. 
          EACH COMMITTEE WILL HAVE 10 MINUTES TO PRESENT. 
          AND THEN I WILL DO THIS, THIS TO LET YOU KNOW THAT YOU'RE HALFWAY THROUGH YOUR PRESENTATION. 
          AND THEN AT THE WRAP, I WILL TELL YOU WHEN IT'S, WHEN YOU SHOULD BE DONE.

          AND THEN THOSE NUMBER OF PEOPLE WILL PROVIDE TRAINING TO THEIR LABOR, UH, UNION MEMBERS. 
          SO AGAIN, WE'RE LOOKING AT ABOUT THE POTENTIAL REACH FOR THE LABOR UNIONS. 
          IT'S BETWEEN 60 AND 70,000 MEMBERS, SO THAT'S PRETTY SIGNIFICANT.

          ALRIGHT, THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. 
          GOOD MORNING. 
          MY NAME IS JEAN CHERYL. 
          I'M ONE OF THE CO-CHAIRS AND I'M JUST COVERING RIGHT NOW. 
          FOR THE OTHERS. 
          WE ARE WORKING WITH COMMUNITY AND FAITH-BASED SUBCOMMITTEE, 
          [00:30:01]
AND WE HAVE CHOSEN SIX OF THE, UM, GROUPS THAT WERE UNDER, UM, COUNTED IN THE LAST CENSUS. 
          AND THESE ARE THE ONES THAT WE'RE GOING TO BE, UM, CONCENTRATING ON. 
          AND SO YOU'LL SEE AS I GO THROUGH, I'LL HIT EACH OF THOSE SIX AREAS. 
          UM, WE HAVE IDENTIFIED STAKEHOLDERS, WHICH ARE COMMUNITY OR FAITH-BASED GROUPS IN WHICH WE WILL USE, UM, AS TO ASSIST US IN GETTING THE COMPLETE CENSUS DONE FOR THOSE EXPERIENCING HOMELESS. 
          WE DO HAVE, UH, SARAH HAVEN FOR HOPE, SAM MINISTRIES, COSA OUTREACH TEAMS, SALVATION ARMY, CATHOLIC WORKER HOUSE AND SUCH. 
          AND THE S A P D. 
          UM, WE DO HAVE, UH, MEMBERS ON OUR COMMITTEE FOR AT LEAST ONE OR TWO OF THOSE PLACES. 
          FOR SENIORS WE WISH TO WORK WITH A A R P, MEALS ON WHEELS, CHURCHES, SA FOOD BANK, UH, VOTING RIGHTS GROUPS, SALSA AND VITA TAX INFORMATION, L G B T Q COMMUNITY. 
          WE'RE LOOKING WITH RYAN WHITE, PLANNING COUNCIL, COSA, DEPARTMENT OF EQUITY, THRIVE YOUTH CENTER, NEXT LEVEL YOUTH CENTER AND PRIDE CENTER. 
          PERSONS WITH DISABILITIES, CSA, OFFICE OF EQUITY, T A C P W P, ACOG SA CLUBHOUSE, DISABILITY ACCESS OFFICE. 
          WE WANNA WORK FOR THE RENTER AND MULTI-UNIT HOUSING PEOPLE WITH THE SAHA REPRESENTATIVE, SAHA AND LARGE AFFORDABLE HOUSING PROVIDERS AND MANAGERS THAT THERE ARE THROUGHOUT THE CITY FOR IMMIGRANTS AND REFUGEES. 
          WE'RE GOING TO WORK WITH COSA, FAITH-BASED INITIATIVE, COPS, METRO MALDEF, AND THE DIFFERENT RESETTLEMENT AGENCIES WE HAVE IN THE CITY. 
          UH, PARTNERSHIPS THAT HAVE BEEN FORGED. 
          UH, WE'VE MET WITH SARAH HAVEN FOR HOPE AND SAM MINISTRIES TO HELP IDENTIFY THE SBE. 
          UM, WE NEED TO MEET WITH THE COSA HOMELESS TEAM, PLUS SS A P D. 
          UM, THERE IS A ONE TIME A YEAR WHEN THE HOMELESS ARE COUNTED AND WE'RE NOT ABLE TO DO THE CENSUS AT THE SAME TIME. 
          WE'RE TRYING TO DUPLICATE THAT SAME ACTIVITY ON THE CENSUS DAY SENIORS, UM, TRAINING THE VITA TEAM, MEALS ON WHEELS, VOLUNTEERS HOW TO, UM, HAVE APPROPRIATE CAPACITY AND IDENTIFYING SBE, THE L G B T Q COMMITTEE. 
          UH, WE'VE MET WITH THE THRIVE YOUTH CENTER AND THEY'RE GOING TO BE INSTRUMENTAL HELPING US. 
          WE'RE GOING TO BE MEETING WITH THE RYAN WHITE PLANNING COUNCIL, CSA DEPARTMENT OF EQUITY, A A R C S, SA AIDS FOUNDATION, AND OTHER GROUPS IN, UH, AN EFFORT TO PROVIDE THE COMMUNICATION AS LONG AS, AS WELL AS THE PRIDE CENTER FOR COMMUNICATION PERSONS WITH DISABILITIES. 
          WE ARE STILL WORKING ON STAKEHOLDERS IN THAT GROUP. 
          RENTER MULTI-UNIT HOUSING. 
          UH, WE HAVE A SAHA REPRESENTATIVE ON OUR SUBCOMMITTEE, AND WE'RE GOING TO BE MEETING WITH THE LARGE HOUSING PROVIDERS IN ORDER TO COMMUNICATE WITHIN THE, UM, DIFFERENT HOUSING AREAS. 
          UM, THEY ALL HAVE TO COME AT LEAST ONCE A MONTH TO PAY RENT. 
          RIGHT? AND THEN IMMIGRANTS AND REFUGEES. 
          WE HAVE THE CENTER FOR REFUGEE SERVICES, AND WE'RE GOING TO REACH OUT TO THE OTHER RESETTLEMENT IN AGENCIES IN THE CITY, AS WELL AS THE COAST OF FAITH-BASED INITIATIVE. 
          COPS, METRO AND MALDEF, WHICH IS ALSO ON OUR COMMITTEE STRATEGIES THAT WE'RE GOING TO BE CONSIDERING IS, UH, FOR THE HOMELESS, THE NEED TO CONFIRM THE S B E SITES OF WHERE WE'RE GOING TO COUNT THEM. 
          UM, WE'RE GONNA PLACE A HOLD ON CAMP ENCAMPMENT ABATEMENT ACTIVITY UNTIL WE CAN MAKE SURE WE GET THIS DONE. 
          AND THEN THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT HAS SAID WE CANNOT USE THE P I T VOLUNTEERS OR THE ONES THAT DO THAT COUNT ONCE A YEAR. 
          SO WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO DUPLICATE THAT SENIORS. 
          UM, WE'RE GONNA WORK WITH THE STATE, OUR DIFFERENT STAKEHOLDERS FOR IDEAS. 
          UM, ONE THING WE WANNA MAKE SURE IS WE HAVE LARGE PRINT L G B T Q COMMITTEE. 
          UM, WE'RE LOOKING TOGETHER TO HAVE AN EVENT FOR THEM WHERE IT WOULD BE A SAFE PLACE FOR THEM TO COME. 
          AND ALSO TO HAVE OUTREACH EFFORTS AT NIGHTCLUBS BARS AND FLOP HOUSES, AND TO CREMATE, CREATE A COMMUNICATION TOOL. 
          SO THERE'S A FEELING OF SAFETY WITH THEIR DATA IS WHAT IS WHAT WE'RE WORKING ON. 
          OKAY. 
          SO STRATEGIES TO BE CONSIDERED. 
          WE NEED TO MEET, UM, WITH DIFFERENT GROUPS WITH, UH, DISABILITIES, UM, AND SAHA. 
          AND WE ARE TRYING TO IDENTIFY CHAMPIONS WHO CAN BE TRUSTED TO COMMUNICATE IN THE DIFFERENT LANGUAGES THAT WE HAVE. 
          WE HAVE 12 TO 15 LANGUAGES THAT ARE NOT SPANISH TO DEAL WITH. 
          UM, WE ARE TRYING TO FIND, UM, SMALL INCENTIVES PRO MAYBE, IF THAT WOULD BE POSSIBLE FOR THE HOMELESS TO BE WILLING TO WORK WITH US. 
          UM, THE SENIORS WE'RE WORKING ON. 
          AND THEN WE'RE LOOKING AT HAVING AN EVENT FOR THE L G B T Q COMMUNITY FOR THEM TO COME TOGETHER AND TO WORK IN THAT WAY. 
          SO FUNDING NEEDS STRATEGIES AND FUNDING NEEDS. 
          WE'RE JUST WORKING ON GETTING THE MATERIALS THAT ARE BE AVAILABLE THAT ARE AVAILABLE FOR US. 
          IT'S MAKING SURE WE HAVE 5 0 8 COMPLIANT AND LARGE PRINT WORKING FOR ANY INTERPRETER SERVICES THAT WE MIGHT NEED. 
          UM, AND MAKING SURE WE HAVE THE, THE 
          [00:35:01]
MATERIALS THAT ARE NEEDED AT THE PLACES WHERE PEOPLE LIVE AND WHERE THEY GO. 
          JUST AS YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT GOING TO THE DIFFERENT BUSINESSES AND GETTING THE FLYERS, UM, TO THE DIFFERENT PLACES WHERE THE IMMIGRANTS AND REFUGEES WOULD COME REGULARLY. 
          YES. 
          ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS OR SUGGESTIONS? CAN YOU GO BACK AT THE ONE SLIDE? YOU TALK ABOUT THE FUNDING NEEDS AND, AND GETTING FLYERS AND HOTSPOTS, RIGHT? SO WE TALK ABOUT, UH, WE MENTIONED THE DIGITAL DIVIDE IS A REALITY ON OUR COMMUNITIES, AND I SEE THEM FUNDING FOR HOTSPOTS TO, TO MAKE SURE PEOPLE HAVE ACCESS TO THE INTERNET. 
          BUT I, I DON'T KNOW IF YOU GUYS HAVE ANY OTHER PLANS OR INCLUDED FUNDING FOR COMPUTERS OR HOW YOU'RE GONNA REACH OUT. 
          'CAUSE YOU CAN HAVE INTERNET, BUT STILL NOT HAVING THE RIGHT DEVICES. 
          SO I GUESS I'M JUST CURIOUS WHY JUST HOTSPOT? WE, WE DO HAVE A FEELING THAT MANY PEOPLE WOULD HAVE ACCESS TO A COMPUTER OR A, OR A PHONE THAT THIS IS NOT, NOT EVERYBODY, NO. 
          BUT, UM, THE IDEA IS THAT WE WOULD BE ABLE TO HAVE A PLACE WHERE WE WOULD HAVE A HOTSPOT THAT PEOPLE COULD USE THEIR CELL PHONES, THE THING, THEIR DEVICES WHERE THEY, ANY DEVICE THEY HAVE, BUT THEY DON'T HAVE THE ACCESS. 
          SO WE'RE LOOKING, UM, AT THAT SPOT, AT THAT PLACE FOR THAT. 
          BUT WE ALSO THEN ARE LOOKING AT, UM, BEING ABLE TO FIND THOSE PLACES WHERE PEOPLE LIVE, ESPECIALLY IN THE, UM, RENTAL MULTI-USE WHERE WE WOULD BE ABLE TO PROVIDE NOT ONLY THE HOTSPOT, BUT THE COMPUTER ACCESS AT THE SAME TIME, THE IPADS AND SUCH. 
          BUT AT THE SAME TIME, WE'RE ALSO GOING TO NEED TO BE WORKING WITH, UM, INTERPRETERS OR LANGUAGE PEOPLE, NOT ONLY FOR THOSE WHO SPEAK OTHER LANGUAGES, BUT THOSE WHO ARE UNABLE TO EVEN READ ANY LANGUAGE TO READ, UH, A SCREEN TO SEE WHAT IT SAYS. 
          AND KNOWING THAT WE CANNOT DO THE ANSWERS FOR THEM, THEN WE'RE TRYING TO FIND THE CHAMPIONS THAT MIGHT BE ABLE TO ASSIST THEM IN THEIR PROVIDING THE ANSWERS THAT ARE NEEDED WITHOUT PROVIDING THE ANSWERS ON THEIR BEHALF. 
          AND JEAN, IF I MAY ADD, AND YOU'LL SEE THIS IN ANOTHER SLIDE, BUT THEY'RE ALSO STRATEGIES AROUND MAKING COMPUTER ACCESSES AVAILABLE THROUGH THE LIBRARY, THROUGH BIBLIO TECH AND THROUGH OTHER ENTITIES THAT HAVE COMPUTERS ONSITE. 
          SO WE'RE EXPLORING ALL THOSE OPPORTUNITIES. 
          I I HAD MORE OF A COMMENT. 
          I WANNA ENCOURAGE YOU TO PLEASE, UH, LOOK AT THE SENIOR COMMUNITY CENTERS AS AN OPPORTUNITY TO TRY TO REACH OUT TO UNDERCOUNTED POPULATIONS. 
          WE HAVE, UH, DOZENS OR MORE HERE IN SAN ANTONIO, IN BEXAR COUNTY. 
          UH, THEY ALSO HAVE TRANSPORTATION IN, IN SAN ANTONIO RATHER TO THOSE, UH, UNITS. 
          SO ALL THOSE ARE OPPORTUNITIES TO REACH PEOPLE WHO ARE NOT NECESSARILY GONNA HAVE COMPUTERS AT HOME, MAY NOT BE FAMILIAR WITH COMPUTERS, BUT YOU UNDERSTAND THAT, THAT THESE COMPUTER, AT THESE SENIOR CENTERS, THERE ARE COMPUTER CENTERS WHERE THEY TEACH OLDER PERSONS ABOUT HOW TO USE A COMPUTER. 
          SO YOU HAVE THE ACCESS RIGHT THERE AND YOU HAVE PEOPLE, UH, WHO USE MEALS ON WHEELS AND THINGS LIKE, UH, FREE MEALS THERE. 
          AND ALL THOSE ARE GOOD POPULATIONS TO REACH. 
          I HOPE THAT BECOMES PART OF THE STRATEGY AS WELL. 
          ANOTHER POINT IN REGARDS TO WHAT YOU STATED ON RENTER AND MULTI-UNIT HOUSING, UH, IT, YOU KNOW, OBVIOUSLY SAN ANTONIO HOUSING AUTHORITY IS, IS ONE COMPONENT MM-HMM. 
           OF THE, UH, UH, PROVIDERS AS FAR AS MULTI-FAMILY HOUSING. 
          BUT THERE ARE OF COURSE MARKET RATE AND, AND, UM, BASIC ORGANIZATIONS THAT COVER, UH, THOSE GROUPS. 
          AND I ALWAYS BELIEVE THAT IT'S, IT'S IMPORTANT TO REACH THOSE PROPERTY MANAGERS. 
          AND SO PERHAPS THAT COULD EVEN BE AN, AN ITEM UNDER BUSINESS NOT TO, UH, ADD ADD TO OUR LIST, RICHARD. 
          BUT THAT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE DON'T LOSE THE LARGER PICTURE OF, UM, WHO PROVIDES MULTIFAMILY HOUSING. 
          CORRECT. 
          AND WE DO, WE DID PUT, ALONG WITH SAHA, WE PUT THE LARGER, MANY OF THE COM OF THE HOUSING UNITS THAT ARE IN THE CITY ARE UNDER A DOZEN OR SO DIFFERENT COMPANIES. 
          AND BY, THAT'S, THOSE ARE THE COMPANIES THAT WE DID HAVE ON THERE THAT WE ARE GOING TO BE TRYING TO REACH IS THE OWNERS OF THE APARTMENT COMPLEXES TO SEE THAT THEY'RE WILLING TO HAVE, UM, A, A TIME WHERE PEOPLE CAN DO IT IN THEIR OFFICES. 
          INDEED. 
          AND, AND THOSE OFTEN DO HAVE THAT CAPACITY. 
          THANK YOU. 
          CORRECT. 
          A GREAT REPORT. 
          I JUST WANT TO ENCOURAGE YOU TO ADD A COUPLE OF, UM, ORGANIZATIONS, THE SAN ANTONIO FOOD BANK BEAT AIDS, THE L B G T Q, CHAMBER OF COMMERCE, BEAR COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE, AND THE CENTER FOR HEALTHCARE SERVICES. 
          UH, I WAS JUST GONNA SUGGEST THAT PERHAPS IN THE FUTURE, BEFORE WE HAVE OUR NEXT LARGE QUARTERLY MEETING, THAT THE SUBCOMMITTEE CHAIRS GET TOGETHER TO HAVE SOME OF THESE DISCUSSIONS FIRST. 
          BECAUSE I FEEL LIKE, FOR EXAMPLE, I WAS, WE WERE JUST DISCUSSING GONZABA MEDICAL GROUP HOLDS A LOT OF EVENTS AND THEY'RE NOT THE ONLY ONE. 
          THERE'S SEVERAL OF THEM WELL MET AND SUCH, AND THEY HOLD EVENTS FOR THESE SENIORS. 
          SO THEY PACK UP FROM THEIR LITTLE NUTRITION SITE 
          [00:40:01]
AFTER THEY'RE DONE HAVING THEIR LUNCH, AND THEY BUST THEM ALL OVER TO THEIR EVENT CENTER AND THEY HOLD SENIOR DANCES. 
          AND SO TO MAKE SURE THAT RICHARD IS COORDINATING WITH THE C E O OF WELLMED AND WITH GONZABA AND WHATEVER OTHER GROUPS THERE ARE, AND COORDINATING WITH THE CHAIR OF THE COMMITTEE FOR COMMUNITY FACE FAITH-BASED EFFORTS, AND THAT WAY WE ARE KIND OF MAKING SURE THAT WE ARE CROSSING PATHS WHERE WE CAN. 
          YES. 
          THANK YOU HEATHER. 
          AND, AND THAT IS WHAT THE HOPE OF THIS MEETING IS, AND WE CAN CERTAINLY GATHER THE STEERING COMMITTEE AS A WHOLE AND DO THE SAME. 
          SO THANK YOU. 
          YEAH. 
          AND NOW THE EDUCATION COMMITTEE, PLEASE. 
          THANK YOU, JANE. 
          OKAY. 
          WELL, WE, LET'S SEE. 
          I GUESS I HAVE CONTROL HERE. 
          SO WE ENDED UP, AS WE MET AS A, AS A COMMITTEE DECIDING THAT REALLY WE HAD THREE VERY DIFFERENT FOCUSES WITHIN EDUCATION. 
          SO WE HAD SUBDIVIDED OUR SUBCOMMITTEE, UM, INTO HOUSEHOLDS WITH CHILDREN UNDER THE AGE OF FIVE, K THROUGH 12, AND HIGHER ED. 
          SO WE'RE EACH GOING TO TALK ABOUT OUR OWN AREA, AND I WOULD SUGGEST WE KIND OF GO DOWN HERE AND THEN YOU TAKE BACK OVER FOR THE SECOND SLIDE. 
          SO WE'LL MAKE THIS AS QUICK AS WE CAN. 
          UM, I'M SUSAN THOMPSON WITH AVANSE. 
          UM, SO I AM FOCUSED ON THE HOUSEHOLDS WITH CHILDREN UNDER FIVE. 
          UH, THERE IS A HEAD START CONSORTIUM HERE IN SAN ANTONIO. 
          SO WE WILL DEFINITELY, THERE'S ALREADY BEEN ONE MEETING. 
          WE WILL, UH, CONTINUE TO CONFER AND COORDINATE WITH THEM WITH PRE-K FOR SA. 
          UH, WE'LL COORDINATE WITH THE COMMUNITY AND FAITH BASE, UH, SUBCOMMITTEE FOR MUSEUM. 
          UNITED WAY DOES A LOT OF THINGS AROUND READY KID SA. 
          UM, AND, UH, THERE THERE IS A LIST OF REGISTERED INDEPENDENT AT HOME DAYCARE FACILITIES WE'LL BE WORKING WITH. 
          GOOD MORNING.

          UH, WE WERE ABLE TO, UH, LOOK AT THE PREVIOUS CENSUS DATA ON SELF-REPORTING. 
          AND BASED ON THAT WE IDENTIFIED THE ISDS THAT HAVE THE LOWEST SELF-REPORTING. 
          NOW, YOU WILL NOTICE THERE ARE SOME SUCH AS NORTHEAST, UH, I S D WHERE THERE IS KIND OF BIT OF A HIGHER SELF-REPORTING, BUT THERE'S POCKETS THERE WHERE IT'S EXTREMELY LOW. 
          AND THAT IS WHERE WE'RE GOING TO FOCUS IN SPECIFICALLY. 
          GOOD MORNING. 
          I'M MEDINA WILLIAMS LAWSON, PRESIDENT AT ST. 
          PHILIP'S COLLEGE, AND I REPRESENT THE HIGHER EDUCATION COMMUNITY EFFORTS. 
          UH, DR. 
          BLAN EDWARD LANMAN FROM TEXAS A AND M IS ALSO A CO-PARTNER WITH ME. 
          WE SENT A JOINT LETTER TO THE PRESIDENTS OF ALL OF THE HIGHER EDUCATION INSTITUTIONS IN SAN ANTONIO, UH, NOTIFYING THEM OF OUR EFFORTS WITH THE CENSUS AND STRESSING THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THE HIGHER EDUCATION COMMUNITY BEING INVOLVED. 
          AND YOU CAN SEE THE LIST OF THOSE INDIVIDUALS THAT WERE AT OUR FIRST MEETING ON JUNE, THE JULY THE 29TH AT ST. 
          PHILLIPS COLLEGE. 
          AND SO WITH THAT LETTER THAT WAS SENT TO ALL OF THE PRESIDENTS, UH, WE DID HAVE A GREAT RESPONSE AND THEY ARE FULLY ENGAGED AND ON BOARD. 
          WE'RE CONTINUING HIGHER ED. 
          ALRIGHT, SO HIGHER EDUCATION. 
          WE DRAFTED THE LETTER THAT WENT TO THE PRESIDENTS AND THEY, THE PRESIDENTS WERE ASKED TO APPOINT A DECISION MAKER, SOMEONE THAT COULD MAKE A DECISION. 
          SO WE DID NOT HAVE THEM GOING BACK TO THEIR INSTITUTIONS WAITING TO CONNECT WITH THE PRESIDENT AND THEN COMING BACK. 
          SO THEY WERE ASKED TO APPOINT A DECISION MAKER AND THEN SOMEONE THAT HAD ACCESS TO THE STUDENTS. 
          SO IT NEEDED TO NECESSARILY BE PRO, PERHAPS SOMEONE IN THE HIGHER RANKINGS FOR STUDENT, UH, SUCCESS. 
          AND IN DOING THAT, WE FORMED A HIGHER EDUCATION TASK FORCE. 
          OUR FIRST MEETING WAS HELD ON JULY THE 29TH AT ST. 
          PHILLIPS COLLEGE. 
          AND WE AGREED TO FORMULATE A STRATEGIC PLAN FOR A COLLECTIVE IMPACT. 
          GREAT. 
          NOW FOR K THROUGH 12. 
          UM, AND PLEASE NOTE THAT IT'S 14 TARGETED ISDS, NOT 13. 
          UM, WE HAVE PRESENTED TO ALL OF THE SUPERINTENDENTS AND ALL OF BEXAR COUNTY IS S D THANKS TIM. 
          MAA WAS ABLE TO GIVE US AN OPPORTUNITY TO INTRODUCE THE COMMITTEE, UM, AND ALSO TO TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE WORK AND INVITE THEM TO OUR NEXT MEETING, WHICH WE'LL TALK A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT ON SEPTEMBER 5TH. 
          UH, AND WE HAVE ALSO DRAFTED A LETTER THAT'S GONNA BE SENT IN ADDITION TO THAT INVITATION TO THE SPECIFIC, UM, I S D SUPERINTENDENTS, UH, ASKING THEM TO ATTEND AND TO HAVE SOMEBODY WHO'S GONNA BE OUR POINT OF CONTACT FROM NOW UNTIL JULY, 2020. 
          UH, AND 
          [00:45:01]
THEN WE HAVE ALSO DRAFTED A PLEDGE FOR EVERY I S D WHERE WE HAVE VERY VAGUE ASK, BUT THESE ARE GONNA BE THINGS LIKE, UM, YOU KNOW, THEM COORDINATING WITH US AND WORKING WITH US AND ENSURING THAT THEY'RE GONNA PROVIDE THINGS LIKE MAYBE OPENING COMPUTER LABS OR COMP OR OPENING THEIR SPACES FOR PEOPLE TO SELF-REPORT, UM, OR HELPING WITH INTERPRETATION IF THEY HAVE ANY OF THE RE THE RESOURCES THAT WE MAY BE NEEDING. 
          UM, BUT WE WILL BE ASKING FOR THAT COMMITMENT FOR THEM TO CONTINUOUSLY WORK WITH US. 
          UM, AND ALSO JUST TO HAVE THE REPRESENTATION OF THE SUPERINTENDENT ONCE YOU GO INTO A SCHOOL AND YOU SAY, HEY, LOOK, I HAVE THIS PLEDGE FROM A SUPERINTENDENT. 
          IT'S A LOT EASIER TO BE ABLE TO COORDINATE SOME INDIVIDUAL EVENTS. 
          ALL RIGHT. 
          AND I, I REALLY KIND OF ALREADY COVERED IN MY FIRST COMMENTS, WHAT'S ON HERE? WE WILL CONTINUE TO RECONVENE WITH, WITH THE STAKEHOLDERS FOR UNDER FIVE. 
          UM, AND WE'RE ESPECIALLY EXCITED ABOUT BRINGING THOSE HOME DAYCARES INTO THE FOLD BECAUSE THERE ARE MANY TIMES THEY FEEL, UH, LEFT OUT OF, OF OUR COMMUNITY OF FOLKS CARING FOR OUR LITTLEST CITIZENS. 
          UM, SO, UM, AGAIN, WE WILL CONTINUE TO WORK WITH, WITH ALL OF THESE STAKEHOLDERS. 
          UM, EACH ONE IS GOING TO HAVE DIFFERENT METHODOLOGIES FOR REACHING OUT, UM, TO, TO THOSE THAT THEY'RE SERVING. 
          UM, AND SO, UH, THAT THOSE FURTHER DETAILS WILL COME ABOUT AS WE HAVE, UH, MORE CONVERSATIONS. 
          SO IN ADDITION TO ALREADY IDENTIFYING ISDS FOR K THROUGH 12, UH, WE'VE ALREADY HAD, YOU KNOW, STARTED TALKING SOME OF THE STRATEGIES, SOME OF THE TACTICS. 
          UM, SO ONE OF IT, UM, THANKS TO ENRIQUE, UH, ONE OF OUR MEMBERS FROM THE, THE TASK FORCE, HE'S IDENTIFIED SCHOOLS WITH SUMMER FOOD PROGRAMS. UH, SINCE WE KNOW THAT THAT'S GONNA BE A BIG, UH, BUSY PERIOD WHERE WE WANNA GET PEOPLE TO AS MANY PEOPLE TO SELF-REPORT. 
          UM, AND THEN ALSO IDENTIFYING THAT POINT OF CONTACT WITH IDS, UM, SO THEY CAN HELP WITH DISTRIBUTING LITERATURE, UM, HOSTING CENSUS EVENTS, SEEING AGAIN, IF THEY CAN OPEN THEIR FACILITIES, IF THEY HAVE ANY, UH, FAMILIES WHO MAY HAVE QUESTIONS AND WE CAN KIND OF GIVE THEM MORE INDIVIDUAL HELP. 
          UM, ESPECIALLY WHEN IT COMES TO BEING IN AREAS WHERE A LOT OF THE PARENTS ARE ONLY SPANISH SPEAKERS. 
          UM, AND WE WILL BE DEVELOPING FURTHER STRATEGIES, BUT WE HAVE KIND OF JUST STARTED WITH THAT ALSO, MAYBE IDENTIFYING THE STADIUMS. YOU KNOW, FOOTBALL TENDS TO BE VERY BIG HERE. 
          UM, SO, YOU KNOW, USING THESE EVENTS WHERE THERE'S A LARGE AMOUNT OF PEOPLE ALREADY GOING TO AND JUST KIND OF CATCHING THEM FOR A COUPLE OF MINUTES AND START JUST PLANTING THAT SEED AND TELLING THEM ABOUT THE CENSUS. 
          AND IN OUR JULY THE 29TH MEETING, WE CAME UP WITH 10 STRATEGIES. 
          ALL OF THE UNIVERSITIES ARE IN AGREEMENT, UNIVERSITIES AND COLLEGES ARE IN AGREEMENT THAT THESE ARE THE 10 THINGS THAT WE WILL ALL DO TO HAVE A COLLECTIVE IMPACT IN HIGHER EDUCATION. 
          WE ALSO AGREED THAT IT WAS VERY IMPORTANT. 
          THERE ARE CERTAIN NUANCES. 
          SOME OF US HAVE RESIDENTIAL CAMPUSES AND OTHERS DO NOT. 
          SO IN ADDITION TO THE FACT SHEET THAT IS OUT THERE FOR THE CENSUS, WE NEEDED TO DO A FACT SHEET FOR THE HIGHER EDUCATION COMMUNITY, EXPLAINING TO THEM UPFRONT, IF YOU'RE LIVING IN A DORM, IF YOU'RE LIVING IN A DORM WITH TWO PEOPLE OR SUITE WITH POOR PEOPLE, HOW DO YOU RESPOND? BECAUSE WE KNOW THAT THAT IS A SIGNIFICANT QUESTION THAT HAS TO BE ADDRESSED. 
          AND WE WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT THERE WAS AN F A Q OUT THERE. 
          AND THEN ALSO TO KICK IT OFF, WE SAID THAT IT'S IMPORTANT TO, FOR THE CEOS TO DEMONSTRATE A COMMITMENT TO THIS SIGNIFICANCE. 
          SO WE WOULD HAVE A VIDEOTAPE OF EACH C E O, EACH PRESIDENT ENCOURAGING THE STUDENTS TO COUNT ME IN AND BE A PART OF THE COMPLETE COUNT CENSUS FOR THE BEGINNING OF THE SEMESTER IS WE ROLL OUT STUDENT ACTIVITIES FOR THE FIRST WEEK OF SCHOOL. 
          IN ADDITION TO THAT, SOME OF THE THINGS THAT WE AGREED TO, THEY'RE UP HERE. 
          WE SAID THAT EVERY HIGHER EDUCATION INSTITUTION WILL HAVE A DESIGNATED ROOM WHERE THE STUDENTS CAN GO AND COMPLETE THE CENSUS ONLINE. 
          SO THAT IS SOMETHING THAT, AND IT'LL BE IDENTIFIED, IT'LL BE A PART OF OUR F A Q THAT WILL BE A ONLINE PORTAL THAT WOULD GIVE THEM TOTAL ACCESS, IMMEDIATE ACCESS. 
          WE ALL HAVE TV MONITORS WHERE WE HAVE DIGITAL MEDIA ACROSS THE COLLEGES. 
          SO ON OUR DIGITAL MEDIA, IT WILL BE COVERED. 
          THERE WILL BE A MASS EMAIL THAT WILL GO OUT TO ALL OF THE STUDENTS. 
          WE'LL HAVE SCHEDULED CAMPUS EVENTS DURING THE WELCOME WEEK WHEN WE BRING STUDENTS BACK. 
          THERE'S ALWAYS A WELCOME WEEK WHERE WE HAVE A, AN ORIENTATION OR WELCOME WEEK, BUT THEN WE WILL HAVE DELIBERATE ACTIVITIES AND THAT WILL BE A PART OF WHEN THE PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE IS ROLLED OUT. 
          ALSO, WE WILL ENGAGE THE STUDENT GOVERNMENT ASSOCIATIONS ON ALL OF THE COLLEGE CAMPUSES AND WE'LL UTILIZE THE SOCIAL MEDIA, THE CAMPUS NEWSPAPER AND NEWSLETTERS TO PROMOTE THE COMPLETE COUNT AS WELL AS THE C E O PRESIDENT DOING THE KICKOFF PROMOTION, PROMOTING THE CENSUS. 
          AND WE'RE LOOKING TO SECURE THE FUNDS TO ESTABLISH AND UPDATING THE WEBSITE FOR HEXA. 
          SO WE'LL HAVE ONE COMMON WEBSITE THAT THE STUDENTS, THAT WILL RESONATE WITH THE STUDENTS BECAUSE IT IS SIGNIFICANT. 
          WE RECOGNIZE THAT AN ALAMO COLLEGE, ST. 
          PHILLIPS COLLEGE STUDENT CAN ALSO BE A U T S A STUDENT, 
          [00:50:01]
A TEXAS A AND M STUDENT, OR A UNIVERSITY OF MCCONNEY WORD STUDENT CAN BE ONE OF THE OTHER STUDENTS, AREN'T ALL TOTALLY, THERE'S A FREE FLOW. 
          ALRIGHT, SO NOW WITH THE STRATEGY FOR K TO 12, ONCE WE HAVE OUR MEETING WITH THE SUPERINTENDENTS, THE TARGETED SUPERINTENDENTS AND EVERYBODY WHO WE'VE INVITED, UH, WITH K TO 12, WE, UH, WERE ACTUALLY ABLE TO PRESENT AN EXAMPLE STRATEGY THAT S A I S D HAS ALREADY BEGUN WHEN WE FIRST FIRST SPOKE TO THEM. 
          SO WE ARE GOING TO WORK WITH THEM SO THEY CAN SHARE THEIR STRATEGY AND THEREFORE WE CAN COORDINATE AND EITHER WE CAN ENHANCE IT OR WE CAN COMPLIMENT IT ALONG WITH THE BUREAU AS WELL, KEEP COMMUNICATION. 
          SO WE KNOW THAT THERE IS THAT, UH, COORDINATION, MAKING SURE IT'S THE KEY, BUT ALSO MAKING SURE THAT PEOPLE ARE LISTENING AND HEARING ABOUT THIS CAMPAIGN FROM MULTIPLE ANGLES AS WELL. 
          UM, AND THEN FROM THERE WE'LL BE ABLE TO HAVE THAT, UH, SOLID GROUP OF THE PEOPLE THAT WILL BE MEETING MONTHLY TO MAKING, UH, YOU KNOW, THE CHECK-INS AND IF THERE'S ANY ASK THAT ANY SPECIFIC I S D MAY HAVE. 
          ALRIGHT. 
          AND I KNOW WE'RE OUT OF TIME. 
          SO, UM, REAL QUICKLY, I THINK THE THING THAT WE'RE MOST EXCITED ABOUT IS TRAINING THE FOLKS THAT WE'RE SERVING, UM, IN PRE-K FOR SA AND ALL THE HEAD START PROGRAMS AND IN THE DAYCARES TO BE PROMOTOR TO GO OUT, UH, INTO THEIR COMMUNITIES AND SPEAK PEER-TO-PEER AND, AND KIND OF TAMP DOWN ANY FEARS THERE MAY BE, ESPECIALLY WITH ALL THE CONTROVERSY THERE WAS ON THE CITIZENSHIP QUESTION. 
          SO, UM, WE'LL, WE'LL MEET MONTHLY  AND I, I, I, I KIND OF COVERED IT AS WELL. 
          WE'RE GONNA IDENTIFY THE, THE STAKEHOLDERS, UM, AND MAKE SURE THAT EVERYBODY ALSO IS INFORMED ON THE CENSUS INFORMATION ON SELF-REPORTING. 
          SO THEY ALSO KNOW WHAT SCHOOLS THAT, UH, WE CAN TARGET, UM, AND, AND VISIT A LITTLE MORE OFTEN. 
          OKAY. 
          AND OUR NEXT MEETING IS SCHEDULED FOR THE HIGHER EDUCATION COMMUNITY IS SCHEDULED FOR SEPTEMBER THE 16TH. 
          WE ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THOSE 10 THINGS IN ORDER TO HAVE A COLLECTIVE IMPACT FOR HIGHER EDUCATION, WE WILL ALL DO. 
          BUT THEN WE SAY WE ARE UNIQUELY DIFFERENT AS WELL. 
          SO WE ARE ENCOURAGING EACH INSTITUTION TO ALSO DO THINGS ABOVE AND BEYOND, UH, THOSE 10 ITEMS THAT WE'VE IDENTIFIED. 
          AND SO WHEN WE MEET ON SEPTEMBER THE 16TH, EACH UH, HIRED ENTITY INSTITUTION WILL COME BACK AND PUBLISH AND SHARE WITH US THOSE THINGS THAT THEY'RE DOING IN ADDITIONAL TO THE 10 ITEMS THAT WE'VE IDENTIFIED. 
          AND WE GAVE SOME EXAMPLES LIKE WE ALL CELEBRATE FIESTA. 
          THAT'S ANOTHER TIME TO PROMOTE THE CENSUS AND OTHER ACTIVITIES THAT WE HAVE ON THE CAMPUS. 
          BUT WE WILL CODIFY AND PUT INTO THE RECORD THOSE THINGS THAT WE'RE DOING ABOVE AND BEYOND. 
          UH, WE ALSO HAVE THE HIGHER EDUCATION COUNCIL OF SAN ANTONIO. 
          IT'S NOT BEEN AS ACTIVE AS IT SHOULD BE, BUT IT REPRESENTS ALL OF THE HIGHER EDUCATION INSTITUTIONS. 
          SO WE WILL MAKE WORK TO HAVE IT UPDATED, THE WEBSITE UPDATED AND UTILIZE IT ALSO AS A COMMUNICATIONS TOOL. 
          AND THEN THE WELCOME WEEK WILL BE FINALIZED DURING THIS MEETING, WHAT WE WILL BE DOING TO ROLL OUT THE COMPLETE COUNT CENSUS ACTIVITIES FOR JANUARY, 2020. 
          AND THAT IS THE WELCOME WEEK THAT WE'RE SPEAKING, SPEAKING ABOUT. 
          BUT ALL OF THAT WILL BE FINALIZED ON SEPTEMBER 16TH. 
          I THINK THAT'S IT. 
          SO A QUESTION, I JUST HAVE A QUICK QUESTION. 
          DO YOU HAVE A STRATEGY FOR, UH, P T A ONCE WE HAVE THE ISDS TOGETHER, UM, IT'S A LOT EASIER FOR THEM TO TELL US WHEN THESE EVENTS OR THESE THINGS ARE HAPPENING AS OPPOSED TO US TRYING TO FIGURE OUT, SO IT IS GONNA BE ON THE NEXT STEPS. 
          UM, BUT WE WE'RE TRYING TO GET EVERYBODY IN THE ROOM TOGETHER SO WE CAN ALL SHARE THAT INFORMATION. 
          NATION. 
          YEAH. 
          I HAD A QUESTION. 
          UH, ARE YOUR 10 STRATEGIES, DO THEY INCLUDE, UH, JOB OPPORTUNITIES? 'CAUSE WE'RE GONNA HAVE FU KICKING UP, KICKING OFF IN APRIL SO THAT ALL OF THE, ALL OF THE TEACHERS THAT ARE OFF THE SUMMER AND ALL, AND ALL THE STUDENTS THAT ARE OFF, UH, WE NEED APPLICANTS FROM THAT POOL OF PEOPLE. 
          SO IF WE COULD PARTNER UP WITH YOU GUYS TO GET THAT MESSAGE OUT, THAT WOULD BE A, A BIG HELP FOR US. 
          WE CAN PARTNER UP. 
          WE DO INCLUDE THE JOB OPPORTUNITIES WAS ME. 
          WE CAN DO THAT. 
          AND I KNOW THAT THAT'S UNDERWAY. 
          WE WERE FOCUSING ON THINGS THAT WE KICKED OFF IN JANUARY, 2020, BUT I KNOW THAT WE'VE BEEN WORKING, UH, BECAUSE RICHARD HAS VISITED MOST OF, I KNOW THE  COLLEGES TO TALK ABOUT EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES THAT WOULD BE AVAILABLE. 
          AND SO YOUR EFFORTS HAVE BEEN UNDERWAY AHEAD OF US, BUT WE CAN HAVE THAT CONVERSATION CERTAINLY. 
          BUT WE MEET ON SEPTEMBER THE 16TH, AND WE'LL DO THAT. 
          I, I HAD A QUESTION ABOUT, UH, IN REACHING OUT TO THE CAMPUSES, BOTH AT THE, UH, K THROUGH 12 AND COLLEGE LEVEL, I DIDN'T SEE ANYTHING ABOUT THE FACULTY AT THE COLLEGE LEVEL. 
          YOU HAVE DIFFERENT FACULTY ASSOCIATIONS, I BELIEVE, WHICH WOULD MIGHT BE VERY INSTRUMENTAL, UH, AT THE, UH, CAMPUS LEVEL FOR K THROUGH 
          [00:55:01]
12. 
          YOU'VE GOT TEACHER ASSOCIATIONS REPRESENT MANY TEACHERS, AND THOSE GROUPS WOULD ALL BE WELL-SERVED BY HELPING THE CENSUS COUNT, BECAUSE THE MORE PEOPLE COUNTED, THE BETTER THEIR FUNDING WILL BE. 
          SO THOSE ORGANIZATIONS SHOULD BE, UH, HELPFUL. 
          ALSO, IF YOU'RE AT THE CLASSROOM LEVEL, AT THE COLLEGE LEVEL IN PARTICULAR, HAVING A SIGN IN THE CLASSROOMS THAT SAYS CENSUS 20, UH, DOT GOV WEBSITE, WHATEVER IT IS, UH, THE DAY OF THE THING WOULD BE VERY HELPFUL AS WELL. 
          THAT WAY STUDENTS CAN SEE IT WHEN THEY GO IN THE CLASSROOM EVERY DAY. 
          IT SHOULDN'T TAKE UP TOO MUCH SPACE ANYWAY. 
          SOME TIMKO THE FACULTY VERY MUCH ARE INCLUDED. 
          UH, SATURDAY, ALL COLLEGE MEETINGS, THE FACULTY WERE PRESENT AND IT WAS ANNOUNCED THEN, AND EACH OF THE PRESIDENTS ARE PROMOTING IT. 
          WE DIDN'T JUST LIMIT IT TO THE CLASSROOM BECAUSE WE WANTED TO MAKE IT MUCH BROADER THAN IT'S, BUT THE FACULTY WILL BE INVOLVED AND EVERY INSTITUTION HAS AN OPPORTUNITY TO EXPAND IT. 
          SO YES, THEY WILL BE. 
          YOU WANTED TO TALK ABOUT THAT K THROUGH 12 AS WELL BACK TEACHERS REGARDING THE K THROUGH 12. 
          AGAIN, UH, WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE COMPLIMENT AND THAT WE COORDINATE. 
          SO THOSE ARE GONNA BE CONVERSATIONS THAT WE'RE GONNA HAVE AND THAT WE'RE GONNA BE PULLING IN OTHER ORGANIZATIONS WITH TEACHERS, BUT WE WANT TO, WE'RE ENGAGING, YOU KNOW, THE TEACHERS, THE FACULTY AND EVERYBODY. 
          UM, AND THAT'S PART OF THE PLEDGE PART OF THE COMMITMENT THAT WE ARE GONNA BE ASKING FROM THEM. 
          S SO I JUST WANTED TO ADD ON KODA RAO GARZA. 
          I JUST WANTED TO ADD ON THAT. 
          UM, AS SE SENA MENTIONED, S A S D SERVED SERVE AS A, AS AN EXEMPLAR OF A DISTRICT THAT HAS ALREADY BEGUN ITS EFFORTS, UM, IN STRATEGIZING AROUND THE CENSUS 2020. 
          AND ONE OF THOSE STRATEGIES CERTAINLY IS ENGAGING, UM, CAMPUS LEVEL FACULTY, BUT ALSO COMMUNITY STAKEHOLDERS LIKE, UH, ORGANIZATIONS, TEACHER ORGANIZATIONS, AS WELL AS, UM, SOME OF THE COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIPS THAT WE HAVE WITH, UH, UH, GRASSROOTS ORGANIZATIONS. 
          AND SO THIS ALSO INCLUDES P T A, IT ALSO INCLUDES PFLS, PARENT FAMILY LIAISONS WHO, UH, TEND TO DO HOME VISITS AND THOSE KINDS OF THINGS. 
          UM, AND, AND, UH, I JUST WANTED TO SORT OF, UM, ADD ON THAT. 
          THAT'S, UH, ONE OF THE, THE SORT OF STRATEGIES THAT WE'VE TAKEN ON. 
          AND I WILL ADD TO THE AGENDA, THE FACULTY SENATE ASSOCIATIONS, THE STAFF WE'VE PROBABLY SHARED WITH THE STAFF SENATE AS WELL. 
          BUT WE WILL DO THAT. 
          FACULTY, SENATE, STAFF, SENATE, AND EMPLOYMENT WILL BE ADDED TO THE AGENDA. 
          THANK YOU. 
          THANK YOU LADIES. 
          THANK YOU. 
          AND I DID GET A REQUEST FROM THE BUREAU TO CLARIFY, UH, A COUPLE OF THINGS, UH, REGARDING THE HOMELESS AND, UH, MOLLY AND, UH, UM, AND BRENDA MOSCARO AND I HAVE HAD THESE CONVERSATIONS. 
          THE HOMELESS WILL BE ENUMERATED, UH, BY THE BUREAU. 
          SO WHAT WE'RE, WHAT THE COMMITTEE IS DOING IS THE COMMITTEE IS PROVIDING INFORMATION ON SBE SO THAT THEY CAN HAVE ADVANCED NOTICE. 
          SO THAT IS A CLARIFICATION THE BUREAU HAS ASKED, UH, FOR US TO MAKE. 
          WE WILL NOT BE ACCOMPANYING, UH, ANY, UH, CENSUS WORKERS IN THE FIELD, UM, BASED ON TITLE 13. 
          IF WE WERE TO ACCOMPANY 'EM, THAT NULLIFIES THE, UM, THEIR ABILITY TO KEEP THE INFORMATION SECURE AND SAFE. 
          SO, AND, AND MOLLY, UH, BUT GLARY FROM HAVEN IS LEADING THAT EFFORT FOR US. 
          AND SO IT'S IN VERY, VERY GOOD HANDS. 
          UH, AND THE SECOND CLARIFICATION THE BUREAU ASKED, UH, ME TO MAKE WAS, UH, WITH REGARD TO COLLEGE CAMPUSES THAT HAVE ONSITE STUDENTS, SO ALL THE ENUMERATION WILL HAPPEN ADMINISTRATIVELY THROUGH THE BUREAU. 
          OUR COMMITTEE'S GOAL AND PURPOSE IS TO ENSURE MESSAGING AND OUTREACH AND AWARENESS, AND TO ENSURE THAT THOSE THAT ARE NOT ON, ON SITE, UH, LIVING ON CAMPUS, UH, ARE AWARE OF HOW TO PARTICIPATE. 
          SO, YES, AND SO THAT WAS A REQUEST FROM JEROME TO CLARIFY THOSE TWO, UH, AN IMMIGRATION, UH, APPROACHES IF WE COULD HAVE THE NEXT SUBCOMMITTEE UP. 
          UH, GOVERNMENT AND MILITARY. 
          HELLO, UH, I'M STINA DE LOS SANTO, JOINT BASED SAN ANTONIO. 
          AND OUR COACH, MY CO-CHAIR IS MARIO ODO, UH, FROM THE SAN ANTONIO FOOD BANK. 
          AND BEFORE I GET STARTED, I WANTED TO THANK, UH, BURO RODRIGUEZ AND MARY MILLS FOR THE GREAT, PHENOMENAL HELP THERE THAT THEY GAVE US TO GET TO THIS POINT, BECAUSE IF WITHOUT THEM, WE WOULDN'T BE HERE. 
          ANYWAY. 
          SO NOW I'M GONNA TURN IT OVER TO MARIO. 
          THANK YOU VERY MUCH. 
          AND, UH, DO WANT TO PUBLICLY THANK, UH, SAS. 
          I'M SURE THEY WERE ALREADY THANKED FOR LETTING US MEET HERE TODAY. 
          AND ROBERT PUENTE AND HIS, HIS STAFF, UM, MARIO BLATO, JUNIOR CHIEF OF GOVERNMENT AND PUBLIC AFFAIRS AT YOUR SAN ANTONIO FOOD BANK. 
          AND, UM, I'M ASSISTING WITH THIS GREAT EFFORT IN TERMS OF, UH, THE GOVERNMENT OUTREACH AND STRATEGIES ASSOCIATED WITH THAT. 
          WE'VE HAD A FEW MEETINGS, UM, SOME REALLY PRODUCTIVE MEETINGS. 
          UM, WE DECIDED AT THE OUTSET, AS YOU CAN SEE FROM THE, UH, CHART, UH, TO BREAK UP GOVERNMENT AND VETERANS. 
          AND SERAFIN IS GONNA SPEAK ABOUT THE VETERANS COMPONENT IN JUST A FEW MINUTES. 
          UH, SO FOR THE GOVERNMENT SIDE OF THINGS, BREAKING IT DOWN, WE HAVE A GREAT, UH, UH, LEGISLATIVE DELEGATION WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT AND STATE GOVERNMENT. 
          SO THE BEAR, UH, DELEGATION ON BOTH LEVELS, AND 
          [01:00:01]
THEN ALSO, UH, A CITY AND, AND COUNTY. 
          SO, UH, WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT THE MAYOR AND COUNCIL MEMBERS, UH, THE COUNTY JUDGE AND COMMISSIONERS, AND BOTH LEVELS OF GOVERNMENT THERE, UH, WE HAVE SOME GREAT ASSETS AND OPPORTUNITIES TO REALLY MAKE, UH, MAKE AN, UH, SOME POSITIVE GAINS, UH, WITH OUR EFFORTS. 
          UM, DURING OUR MEETINGS, UH, WE STRATEGIZE AND DISCUSS SOME, SOME THINGS AROUND, UH, UH, LEVELS OF GOVERNMENT, AND SO FEDERAL AND STATE, UH, CONNECTING WITH OUR MEMBERS AND THE CHIEFS OF STAFF, RIGHT? SO THE CHIEF OF STAFFS FOR THESE OFFICES ARE REALLY RUNNING A LOT OF THE DAY TO DAY AND, AND CONNECTING WITH THEIR BOSSES AND KEEPING THEM ABREAST OF THINGS. 
          AND SO WE ARE WORKING TOWARDS THAT TO CONNECT WITH THOSE OFFICES AND LET 'EM KNOW WHAT WE'RE UP TO AND WHAT THE CENSUS IS ALL ABOUT. 
          NOW, THEY'VE RECEIVED A LOT OF INFORMATION SO FAR FROM VARIOUS OUTLETS ON THE CENSUS, SO THEY KIND OF UNDERSTAND, BUT WE WANT TO GET THAT FACE TO FACE WITH THEM AND REALLY MAKE SURE THAT, THAT THEY UNDERSTAND HOW WE'RE WORKING, UM, LOCAL, UH, GOVERNMENT, SO CITY AND COUNTY AGAIN, AND, AND, UM, MAKING SURE THAT WE SIT DOWN WITH THOSE FOLKS AND GET THEM BRIEFED ON HOW WE'RE WORKING AND WHAT WE'D LIKE TO ACCOMPLISH. 
          AND THEN THE ASSETS WITHIN, UH, LOCAL GOVERNMENT, SO CITY AND COUNTY, SO ASSETS, UH, TO REACH THEIR EMPLOYEES AND, UH, THE RESIDENTS AND THE CONSTITUENTS THAT THEY SERVE. 
          SO, UM, SOME OF THE INITIAL THINGS WE'VE DONE IN TERMS OF, UH, PARTNERSHIPS AND JUST STAKEHOLDERS THAT WE'RE TRYING TO, TO CONNECT WITH, UH, SENATOR MENENDEZ. 
          WE'VE HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK WITH HIM AND HIS STAFF. 
          AND, UH, A FEW WEEKS AGO, WE WERE ABLE TO GO DOWN TO THE DOWNTOWN LIBRARY TO ONE OF HIS LEGISLATIVE TOWN HALL MEETINGS. 
          AND, UH, BETA, I WANT TO THANK HER FOR GIVING A GREAT PRESENTATION AND REALLY WELL RECEIVED BY THE SENATOR AND, UH, THE CONSTITUENTS THAT WERE THERE AS FAR AS THE DEAN OF THE HOUSE DELEGATION ON THE STATE LEVEL, TREY MARTINEZ FISHER, WE ALL KNOW TREY, AND WE HAVE A MEETING SET UP WITH HIM AND HIS STAFF TO KIND OF GO OVER SOME OF THE THINGS THAT WE'D LIKE TO ACCOMPLISH WITH THE DELEGATION ON THE HOUSE SIDE. 
          UH, THERE ARE SOME EFFORTS IN THE WORKS WITH, UH, CONGRESSMAN, UH, DOGGETT AS WELL TO BRING IN THE FEDERAL FOLKS, UM, UH, IN THE, ON THE CITY, UH, LANDSCAPE, IF YOU WILL. 
          UH, THERE'S A VARIETY OF ENTITIES THAT WE'D LIKE TO GET ENGAGED IN. 
          WE'RE ALREADY WORKING TOWARDS THAT. 
          SO THE SAN ANTONIO PUBLIC LIBRARY, ONE SAWS, AS I MENTIONED BEFORE, ROBERT, AND, UH, HIS ORGANIZATION, C P S AND VIA. 
          SO WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT THE FOOTPRINTS OF THESE ORGANIZATIONS AND THE OUTREACH AND THE CAPACITY THAT THEY HAVE, TRY TO WORK THROUGH THOSE CHANNELS IN ORDER TO GET THE WORD OUT ON THE CENSUS, UH, TO THE FOLKS THAT, UH, USE, UH, THEIR ORGANIZATIONS FOR SERVICES. 
          UH, AND THEN THE COUNTY, THE NEW MILITARY TRANSITION CENTER, I SAY NEW, BUT COMMISSIONER WOLF'S BEEN WORKING AT THAT FOR A COUPLE OF YEARS, AND FIN IS GONNA TOUCH ON THAT IN HER, UH, PRESENTATION. 
          UH, BIBLIOTECH, AS WE ALL KNOW, UH, THE JUDGE, UH, STARTED THAT A FEW YEARS AGO. 
          THE BOOKLESS LIBRARY, UH, THAT HAS A GREAT, UH, POTENTIAL TO BE ABLE TO GET THIS INFORMATION OUT RATHER QUICKLY. 
          AND THEN ALSO, ALBERT, THE TAX ASSESSOR COLLECTOR, ALBERT ESTI, TO TRY TO GET INFORMATION OUT TO THE FOLKS THAT ARE, UH, USING, UH, THE COUNTY, UH, THROUGH HIS OFFICE. 
          UM, THIS, UH, SLIDE RIGHT HERE, JUST AGAIN, KIND OF SOME OF THE STUFF THAT I'VE ALREADY TOUCHED ON. 
          UH, YOU'LL SEE THE LEGISLATIVE BRIEFING. 
          SO, TOWN HALLS, UH, YOU KNOW, A LOT OF THE MEMBERS DURING THE INTERIM ARE HAVING THEIR, UH, LEGISLATIVE TOWN HALL MEETINGS. 
          AND SO TAKING A ADVANTAGE OF THAT, AGAIN, WORKING WITH, UH, TREY AND THE DELEGATION, UM, SAN ANTONIO LIBRARY, GETTING INFORMATION OUT, AGAIN THROUGH THEIR FOOTPRINT AND TO THE FOLKS THAT PAY, UH, USE, UH, THE PUBLIC LIBRARY SYSTEM, SAWS AND C P S, UM, YOU KNOW, WHEN THEY'RE SENDING OUT, UH, THEIR BILLS TO THEIR CUSTOMERS, THAT'S A GREAT WAY JUST TO GET OUT INFORMATION TO FOLKS THAT MAYBE DON'T USE THE, THE INTERNET OR DON'T HAVE THAT, UH, CAPABILITY. 
          SO WE REALLY WANT TO FOCUS IN ON THAT, UH, VIA OUR GREAT FRIENDS OVER THERE, JEFF, AREN'T. 
          SO THEIR RIDERSHIP, MAKING SURE THAT WE GET INFORMATION OUT THROUGH THEIR, UH, BUS ROUTES, ON THEIR BUSES, AND THROUGH THEIR, UH, THROUGH THEIR CHANNELS. 
          UM, AGAIN, CITY AND COUNTY WEBSITE AND SOCIAL MEDIA THROUGH ALL THESE LEVELS OF GOVERNMENT. 
          SO WE REALLY WANNA MAXIMIZE THAT AS WELL. 
          THEY ALL HAVE, WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT THESE ELECTED OFFICIALS, THEY ALL HAVE THEIR, UH, E-BLASTS. 
          THEY ALL HAVE THEIR, UH, CONSTITUENT, UM, COMMUNICATION, UH, STRATEGIES. 
          AND SO WE WANNA MAXIMIZE THAT. 
          AND AGAIN, UH, THE BEX COUNTY TAX ASSESSOR COLLECTOR. 
          UM, AND WITH THAT, I'M GONNA TRANSITION OVER TO SARAFINA FOR HER TO TOUCH ON SOME OF THE VETERAN STRATEGIES AND OUTREACH. 
          THANK YOU. 
          UH, MARIO. 
          UH, OKAY. 
          SO, UH, REALLY THIS SLIDE ONLY SHOWS, UH, THE, THE, THE, UH, STRATEGY WE'RE GOING TO USE IS TO REALLY USE THE MARKETING MATERIAL THAT'S GONNA BE MADE AVAILABLE TO US AND GET OUT THE WORD OF MOUTH. 
          HERE'S A LIST OF THE, UH, STAKEHOLDERS THAT WE HAD A MEETING AND WE JUST BRAINSTORMED. 
          NOT ALL INCLUSIVE. 
          SO THERE ARE MANY, MANY ORGANIZATIONS OUT THERE, BUT THESE ARE SOME OF THE PRIMARY ONES THAT WE HAVE. 
          [01:05:01]
SO, UH, THE STRATEGIES TO PROVIDE MARKETING MATERIAL, UH, MA MAKE OURSELVES AVAILABLE TO GO SPEAK TO THEIR MEETINGS WHEN THEY HAVE MEETINGS, AND THE OTH AND, UH, ALSO, UH, TALK ABOUT THE PATRIOTIC THING TO DO TO THESE VETERANS, YOU KNOW, STILL WANTING TO GIVE BACK. 
          AND SO WE'RE GONNA MAYBE PLAY ON THAT FROM A COMMUNICATION STANDPOINT AND SOME SOCIAL MEDIA, BECAUSE, UH, WE'RE VERY ACTIVE, UH, VETERANS AND TRANSITIONING SERVICE MEMBERS, UH, SOON TO BE VETERANS AND SPOUSES ARE VERY ACTIVE ON SOCIAL MEDIA LIKE LINKEDIN. 
          SO INTENT IS TO USE THAT, UH, THAT, UH, COMMUNICATION STRATEGY. 
          UM, THE OTHER PIECE IS, UH, J B S A HOLDS, UH, I CHAIR A MEETING EVERY WEEK, EVERY TUESDAY WHERE I INVITE, UH, THE, UH, COMMUNITY TO COME INTO THE, INSIDE THE GATE AND MEET WITH US. 
          AND I HAVE, UH, REPRESENTATIVES FROM ALL OF THE VETERANS, NONPROFIT, NON-GOVERNMENT, UH, AND GOVERNMENT ORGANIZATIONS. 
          SO THE INTENT, AGAIN, IS TO EDUCATE THEM AND MAKE THEM, YOU KNOW, MY FORCE MULTIPLIERS TO GO OUT THERE AS THEY COUNSEL FOLKS TO MAYBE GIVE THEM SOME, UH, MARKETING MATERIAL. 
          UH, SO I'LL BE NEEDING A LOT OF MARKETING MATERIAL TO ENSURE THAT THEY HAVE, UH, SOMETHING IN HAND THAT THEY, THEY CAN SHARE WITH THEIR CONSTITUENTS AND THEIR DEMOGRAPHIC. 
          UH, IT'S ALL ABOUT GETTING THE WORD OUT AND, AND AGAIN, UM, ENCOURAGING THEM TO THAT. 
          IT, IT'S PART OF, OF GIVING BACK, EVEN THOUGH THEY'RE NO LONGER IN THE MILITARY TO STILL GET COUNTED BECAUSE THEY CAN HELP THEIR COMMUNITY BY DOING SO. 
          UM, MARIO TALKED ABOUT THE, UH, UH, BEAR COUNTY MILITARY AND VETERAN CENTER. 
          THEY'RE DOING A LOT OF GREAT WORK, BOTH INSIDE THE GATE, INSIDE JOINT BASE, SAN ANTONIO, AND OUTSIDE THE GATE, THEY TOUCH, UH, VETERANS, UH, FOR WHATEVER REASON THAT THEY COME IN AND NEED HELP. 
          UH, SO AGAIN, LET'S HAVE SOME SIGNS OUT THERE. 
          LET'S HAVE SOME MARKETING MATERIAL. 
          WHEREVER WE HAVE VETERAN CENTERS, WE'RE GONNA NEED MARKETING MATERIAL SO THAT, YOU KNOW, ONE WAY OR ANOTHER THEY CAN SEE, UH, A POSTER OR SOMETHING THAT, UH, TALKS ABOUT, UH, GETTING, UH, EMPLOYED EMPLOYER PARTNERS ALSO ARE IMPORTANT. 
          THEY ALSO PARTNER WITH US, BUT THEY HAVE VETERAN DEMOGRAPHIC INSIDE THAT ARE THEIR EMPLOYEES, AND THEY HAVE VETERANS ORGANIZATIONS INSIDE THOSE, UH, THOSE, UH, UH, UH, BUSINESSES. 
          SO WE WANNA ENSURE THAT THE ONES WE TOUCH, WE CAN, UH, WE CAN MEET WITH, AGAIN, UH, I'M GETTING SHORT ON TIME HERE, BUT, UH, THE BOTTOM LINE IS WE, IT'S ALL ABOUT MARKETING AND ENSURING THAT WE MAKE OURSELVES AVAILABLE TO GET THE WORD OUT TO ALL THE VETERANS ORGANIZATIONS. 
          UM, AND WITH THAT, UH, I THINK I'VE, I THINK I'VE BEAT A DEAD HORSE IN COMMU AS FAR AS COMMUNICATION IS CONCERNED, BUT THAT'S THE PLAN, MAKING OURSELVES AVAILABLE AND HAVING MARKETING MATERIAL TO, TO SHARE, UH, WITH OUR VETERAN DEMOGRAPHIC. 
          AND EACH OF YOU TOUCH VETERANS IN SOME WAY OR FASHION, WHETHER IT'S HIGHER EDUCATION OR THROUGH THE COMMU OR THROUGH THE, UH, UH, CENTERS FOR THE AGED. 
          UH, SOME OF YOU HAVE A VETERAN DEMOGRAPHIC, AND IF WE CAN BE OF ASSISTANCE TO HELP GET THE WORD OUT, PLEASE DON'T HESITATE TO ASK US. 
          AND, YOU KNOW, WE CAN GO AND TALK TO THEM AND, UH, YOU KNOW, SHARE OUR, OUR STORY BECAUSE WE'RE, I'M A VETERAN ALSO, SO I CAN DEFINITELY, UH, UM, TALK ABOUT THAT, UH, SUBJECT TO YOUR QUESTIONS. 
          SORRY. 
          HI. 
          UM, I'D JUST LIKE A CLARIFICATION FOR THE GOVERNMENT PORTION. 
          I KNOW THAT YOU MENTIONED A STATE SENATOR, STATE REP AND CONGRESSIONAL, UM, REPRESENTATIVE. 
          UH, BUT WILL EVERYBODY LIKE MUNICIPAL AND CITY, COUNTY, STATE AND FEDERAL BE TOUCHED AT AT ONE POINT TO SHARE THIS CAMPAIGN AS WELL? SO, YES. 
          ALL, ALL, JUST TO CLARIFY, ALL LEVELS OF GOVERNMENT, CITY, COUNTY, STATE, AND FEDERAL. 
          SO WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT CITY 10 COUNCIL DISTRICTS, YOU KNOW, AND THE MAYOR, UH, THEIR CONSTITUENCY, AND YOU TALK ABOUT THE COUNTY, THE JUDGE, AND THE FOUR COMMISSIONERS AND THEIR CONSTITUENTS, THE FOUR PRECINCTS. 
          AND THEN YOU MOVE UP TO THE STATE LEVEL, AND YOU HAVE OUR, UH, STATE HOUSE MEMBERS AND SENATE MEMBERS. 
          THEY HAVE THEIR CONSTITUENTS AND DISTRICTS, AND YOU MOVE UP TO THE FEDERAL LEVEL, OUR CONGRESSIONAL MEMBERS AND US SENATE. 
          SO THEY HAVE THEIR DISTRICTS AND THEIR JURISDICTION. 
          SO IT'S REALLY LAYERED, WE'RE GONNA BE, UH, MAKING AN IMPACT ON ALL LAYERS OF GOVERNMENT. 
          AND, AND IS THERE A, HAVE YOU SET A DEADLINE BY WHEN YOU WOULD WANNA TOUCH ALL OF THE, THE REPRESENTATIVES AND, AND EVERYBODY? YES. 
          SO ALL THOSE ELECTED OFFICIALS AND GETTING OUT INFORMATION THROUGH THEIR, UM, ACCESS TO, UH, SOCIAL MEDIA, UH, THEIR COMMUNICATIONS, EVERYTHING THAT THEY'RE DOING, AND GETTING OUT TO THEIR CONSTITUENTS INFORMATION, WE WOULD BE PUSHING THROUGH THOSE CHANNELS. 
          UM, I DO WANT TO ACKNOWLEDGE, I WAS AT, UH, CENTRAL MED CLINIC, UM, DISTRICT FOUR, THIS, THIS WEEKEND, SATURDAY. 
          SO COUNCILWOMAN, ADRIANA, UH, GARCIA ROCHA, UH, SHE HAD HER, UM, BACK TO SCHOOL EVENT, UH, WHERE SHE PARTNERED UP WITH CENTRAL MED AND THE MAYOR WAS THERE AND OTHERS WERE THERE, BUT, UH, THE CENSUS WAS THERE AND THEY WERE GETTING INFORMATION OUT 
          [01:10:01]
TO THE FOLKS THAT WERE THERE, A LOT OF FAMILIES AND INDIVIDUALS. 
          SO IT WAS GOOD TO SEE THAT, UH, PRESENCE AND, UM, ANYWAY, SO THAT'S KIND OF THE MINDSET WHERE THESE FOLKS ARE AT, HOW THEY'RE GETTING INFORMATION OUT. 
          WE WANT TO BE PIGGYBACKING ON THAT. 
          GOOD MORNING. 
          UM, I'M A VETERAN MYSELF, AND I WAS GONNA ASK YOU, WITHIN MILITARY, UH, INSTALLATIONS, ARE Y'ALL GONNA ALSO CONSIDER AND HAVE A PLAN TO DO AN OUTREACH WITH, UH, CIVIL SERVICE EMPLOYEES AND DEFENSE CONTRACTORS? AND ARE, ARE YOU ALSO GONNA REACH OUT TO VA CLINICS AND OTIE MURPHY? YES, AND IT JUST SO HAPPENS THAT WITHIN JOINT BASE, SAN ANTONIO, MY PARTICULAR ORGANIZATION, UH, MANAGES THE, UH, ALL OF THE, UH, CIVIL, THE HR PIECE OF JOINT BASE SAN ANTONIO. 
          SO THOSE PEOPLE ACTUALLY WORK FOR US. 
          AND, AND YES, THE ANSWER IS YES, AND THE ANSWER IS YES. 
          AND THE ANSWER IS YES. 
          WE'RE GONNA DO IT ALL. 
           BACK HERE. 
          I WAS GONNA SAY WHEN THE TIME IS APPROPRIATE, BECAUSE YOU COULD FLOOD THIS, BUT TRENDS GUIDE TO COORDINATE WITH TXDOT, AND WHEN WE GET CLOSER TO THAT TIMEFRAME THAT THEY COULD LIST UP MESSAGES, AND OF COURSE, THAT COULD BE STATEWIDE AS WELL. 
          SURE, YES. 
          ELECTRONIC BILLBOARDS. 
          AND IF I COULD CHIME IN AND ADD REAL QUICKLY THAT WHEN WE'LL ALSO GET INTO IT, SOME WITH THE, UH, RURAL AND SUBCOMMITTEE, THE RURAL AND SUBURBAN CITIES, AND UNINCORPORATED, THERE IS ALSO THE RELATIONSHIP WITH THE 26 CITIES, SOME OF WHICH HAVE SOME REALLY CLOSE RELATIONSHIPS WITH THE MILITARY INSTALLATIONS. 
          SO WE'LL BE WORKING WITH THEM AS WELL. 
          RIGHT. 
          SO, SO, UH, I WAS WONDERING FOR THE GOVERNMENT PORTION, IF YOU HAVE, I KNOW YOUR PLAN IS TO REACH OUT TO THE ENTIRE DELEGATION, BUT I WAS WONDERING IF YOU'VE IDENTIFIED WHICH MEMBERS OF THE DELEGATION REPRESENT SOME OF THE, THE AREAS THAT HAVE THE HARDEST TO COUNT, AND THEN IS THERE A STRATEGY AROUND WORKING SPECIFICALLY WITH THEM? UM, SO, UH, THAT'S A GOOD QUESTION. 
          AND YES, WE DO WANT TO, UH, MAKE SURE THAT, SO WHEN YOU LOOK AT BEAR COUNTY AND YOU LOOK AT CITY, YOU KNOW, ALL THESE LEVELS OF GOVERNMENT AND YOU LOOK AT THE DISTRICTS, UH, YOU CAN IDENTIFY AREAS THAT MAYBE, UM, UM, HOW SHOULD I SAY, UM, HAVE BEEN UNDERSERVED, MAYBE THAT HAVE LACK TECHNOLOGY THAT DON'T HAVE, UH, THE ABILITY TO ACCESS, UH, INFORMATION EASILY. 
          AND SO WE DO WANNA MAKE A FOCUS ON THAT. 
          UM, SO JUST OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD, I MEAN, CITY COUNCIL, DISTRICT FIVE, YOU KNOW, YOU LOOK IN THE SENATOR MENENDEZ DISTRICT IN, IN, IN SENATE DISTRICT 26, THERE ARE AREAS THAT, UH, NEED OUR ASSISTANCE IN ORDER TO MAKE SURE THAT THEIR CONSTITUENTS GET THE INFORMATION ON THE CENSUS, WHY IT'S IMPORTANT, HOW THEY CAN PARTICIPATE IN THE, IN THE PROGRAM, IN THE PROCESS. 
          SURE. 
          WITH, WITH THE JOINT BASE, UM, ALLIANCE, ARE YOU ALSO GOING TO BE, UM, TARGETING THE E F M P WITHIN THAT ALLIANCE? UH, YES, BECAUSE AGAIN, UH, MY, THE FIVE OH SECOND FOUR SUPPORT GROUP AT J B SS A HAPPENS TO RUN ALL OF THE HR PROGRAMS, ALL OF THE F M P PROGRAMS. SO IT'S LIKE A, I'M A TWO FOR ONE, I GUESS, BUT, UM, SO YES, THE ANSWER IS YES. 
          I JUST WANTED TO MAKE, UM, A SUGGESTION THAT YOU CAN ALSO BE SURE TO GET, UM, ELECTED OFFICIALS ATTENTION BY REMINDING THEM THAT THE CENSUS NUMBERS WILL BE USED FOR REDISTRICTING PURPOSES, UM, AND NOT JUST A MATTER OF US PICKING UP POTENTIALLY CONGRESSIONAL SEATS, BUT, UM, THEM REMAINING IN OFFICE IN THE WAY THAT THE DISTRICTS WILL BE DRAWN AFTER THE CENSUS IS COMPLETED IS ALSO SOMETHING GOOD TO MENTION. 
          YEAH, REDISTRICTING ALWAYS GETS PEOPLE'S ATTENTION. 
          AND SO YES, UH, WE'LL BE DOING THAT. 
          BUT THEN ALSO THE, THE MECHANICS ON THE CENSUS, ON THE IMPORTANCE OF IT, WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT DOLLARS TO LOCAL COMMUNITIES, AND IF YOU DON'T PARTICIPATE, YOU'RE GONNA MISS OUT ON THOSE DOLLARS. 
          THAT CAN REALLY HELP, UH, BE IT WITH HOUSING INFRASTRUCTURE, SO ON, SO FORTH. 
          SO, UM, IF WE WANT TO IMPROVE OUR QUALITY OF LIFE HERE WITHIN THE CITY OF SAN ANTONIO AND BEXAR COUNTY, WE HAVE TO MAKE SURE THAT WE GET FOLKS TO, UM, TO THE INFORMATION, AND I BELIEVE THE ELECTED OFFICIALS WILL WANT TO DO JUST THAT. 
          ONE THING I JUST WANTED TO, TO ADD THAT I FORGOT TO ADD WAS LAST WEEK THE CITY UNVEILED THE MILITARY CITY U S A TRADEMARK, IT'S NOW OFFICIAL THAT SAN ANTONIO IS, HAS BEEN TRADEMARKED. 
          UH, SO THAT'S ANOTHER, UH, WAY THAT FROM A STRATEGIC COMMUNICATIONS PIECE, THAT WE CAN, UH, UH, YOU KNOW, PETITION, UH, VETERANS AND SERVICE MEMBERS TO, UH, TAKE THE CENSUS FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF THE HARD TO COUNT. 
          I ASKED JULIO JUST TO TOUCH ON ROME. 
          YES. 
          I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY OF YOU ARE FAMILIAR WITH OUR ROME, UH, DATABASE. 
          OKAY, GOOD. 
          I SEE A LOT OF HANDS COMING UP AND STUFF. 
          SO, VERY VALUABLE TOOL BECAUSE IT'LL HELP YOU IDENTIFY THOSE POCKETS THAT WERE REFERRED TO AS TO WHERE, UH, THE COMMUNITIES AND ALSO THE, UM, EVEN SMALLER, UH, BLOCKS OF, OF, UH, UH, INDIVIDUALS ARE UNDERREPRESENTED IN THE, AS FAR AS THE CENSUS COUNT IS CONCERNED. 
          SO ONE OF THE OTHER THINGS 
          [01:15:01]
THAT THE CENSUS IS ALSO WORKING ON IS A DATABASE WHERE WE'LL BE ABLE TO MONITOR, UM, MONITOR, UH, INFORMATION COMING IN AS A RESULT OF THE CENSUS, UH, QUESTIONNAIRE BEING, UH, ANSWERED, NOT AT THE INDIVIDUAL LEVEL, BUT AT THE COMMUNITY LEVEL. 
          SO WE KNOW WHERE WE CAN SEND INDIVIDUALS OR, OR, UH, TEAMS IN TO PROMOTE, UH, COMPLETING THEIR CENSUS FORMS THAT WILL BE AVAILABLE TO THE PUBLIC AS WELL, THAT IS BEING WORKED ON RIGHT NOW BY HEADQUARTERS, UH, IN SUITLAND, MARYLAND. 
          SO WE'LL HAVE MORE INFORMATION ON THAT, UH, APPLICATION, THAT DATABASE TO HELP OUT WITH, UH, IDENTIFYING THESE, THESE COMMUNITIES THAT ARE UNDERREPRESENTED TRADITIONALLY, UH, AS, UH, BASED ON THE 2010 DATA. 
          THANK YOU. 
          AND, UH, TUESDAY WE'LL BE DOING A REPEAT SHOW, , HOPEFULLY WITH NEW INFORMATION, RIGHT? YES. 
          OKAY, SO I'M BACK AND THE CLICKER, OH, HERE WE GO. 
          ALL RIGHT, SO MOST OF YOU HAVE SAID ALMOST EVERYTHING THAT WE ARE TALKING ABOUT. 
          THE ONLY THING THAT I THINK THAT WAS OUR BIGGEST ISSUE AND WHAT SOME OF YOU HAVE ALREADY STATED, AS WELL AS HEATHER BACK IN THE BACK, THANK YOU FOR THAT COMMENT IN THAT WE ALL NEED TO WORK TOGETHER IN THIS. 
          EVERYBODY IS SO EXCITED ABOUT THE PROJECT AND EVERYBODY'S JUST RUNNING FULL FORCE AHEAD AND MOVING, BUT WE WANNA MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE A WAY TO MANAGE THAT. 
          SO WE'RE GONNA TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THAT NOW. 
          UM, SO THE, THE FUNDS THAT WERE GIVEN WITH THE CENTRAL CENSUS BUREAU AND THE NATIONAL PAID AND THE NATIONAL LOCAL IS ABOUT $500 MILLION. 
          WE ARE GONNA TALK ABOUT SOME FUNDING THAT WE HAVE LOCALLY AS WELL, BUT OUR SUBCOMMITTEE DECIDED THAT WE NEEDED TO TALK ABOUT ALL OF THESE THINGS FROM MEDIA COMMUNICATIONS PERSPECTIVE, DIGITAL MARKETING, PRODUCTION, UNPAID MEDIA, AND PAID MEDIA. 
          SO I'M GONNA RUN THROUGH THAT REAL QUICKLY, BUT AGAIN, SOME OF YOU HAVE ALREADY MENTIONED SOME OF THESE THINGS. 
          SO AS I MENTIONED, THE $500 MILLION IS ACROSS THE COUNTRY, $250 MILLION IS GONNA BE HERE LOCALLY. 
          SO WE HAD AN R F P PROCESS, AND IN THAT R F B PROCESS THROUGH THE ADVERTISING AGENCY, THE, THE ONE THAT'S USED BY THE CENSUS BUREAU, V M L Y N R, WHICH STANDS FOR IT'S YOUNG AND RUBEN, AND THEY MERGED WITH ANOTHER AGENCY. 
          THERE YOU GO. 
          UH, AND SO OUR LOCAL MEDIA OUTLETS WERE ABLE TO SUBMIT THOSE RFPS. 
          WE KNOW OF FOUR, WE DON'T KNOW IF ANYONE ELSE SUBMITTED, BUT WE DO KNOW SPECIFICALLY THAT THOSE FOUR, UM, SUBMITTED. 
          UM, THROUGH THAT WE WILL KNOW IN NOVEMBER WHO WAS AWARDED, WHO WAS AWARDED THOSE MEDIA DOLLARS. 
          ALSO, THE CITY OF SAN ANTONIO IS PUTTING MONEY IN FROM THEIR COMMUNICATIONS BUDGET, 349 AS WELL AS THE COUNTY 50,000. 
          SO WE'RE WANTING TO MAKE SURE THAT, AGAIN, THAT GWEN THAL AND THE COUNT ME IN THE LOCAL EFFORT IS REALLY, REALLY SOLIDIFIED HERE IN OUR COMMUNICATIONS. 
          UM, WE WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE KEPT THE COMMUNICATIONS HIGH AND IN EVERYONE'S FACE CONSISTENTLY, BECAUSE AS WE KNOW, ONCE THIS HITS OFF IN JANUARY, THAT'S WHEN THE MEDIA IS GOING TO BE TALKING ABOUT ELECTIONS, UM, TALKING ABOUT NEW YEAR AND, AND ALL KINDS OF THINGS. 
          SO WE WANNA MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE TOP OF MIND IN JANUARY. 
          SO, UH, THIS MEDIA BUY IS REALLY, REALLY IMPORTANT FOR US. 
          WE WANNA RAISE AWARENESS, EDUCATE, MOTIVATE, AND MAKE SURE THAT THE MESSAGES ARE SPECIFIC TO SAN ANTONIO. 
          THE COMMUNICATIONS PHASES, UH, THE AWARENESS STARTS IN JANUARY, EVEN THOUGH ALL OF THIS WORK IS HAPPENING, AND WE KNOW THAT A LOT OF YOU ARE DOING A LOT OF WORK ALREADY, THE ACTUAL PHYSICAL DATE THAT IT'S SUPPOSED TO START IS JANUARY. 
          UM, BUT WE WANNA GET AHEAD OF THAT AND WE WANNA BE PREPARED ONCE IT DOES COME. 
          SO THE EDUCATION AND MOTIVATION WILL HAPPEN MID-MARCH TO MAY. 
          AND THEN REMINDERS OUT AS WELL. 
          OUR CORE MEDIA STRATEGY, WE WANNA MAKE SURE THAT IT'S DIVERSE AND AGAIN, VERY CONSISTENT. 
          WE WANT THOSE SIGNS, THAT MARKETING MATERIAL THAT SINA WAS TALKING ABOUT. 
          BY THE WAY, SINA IS PLAYING MORE THAN DOUBLE DUTY. 
          SHE ACTUALLY SAT ON A COMMUNICATIONS MEETING AS WELL WITH US. 
          SO THANK YOU SINA, FOR YOUR WORK. 
          UM, THE COMPLETE COUNT DECIDED THAT WE NEEDED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE WERE HYPER HYPERLOCAL. 
          WE WANNA MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE SPEAKING TO OUR COMMUNITY, AS WE'VE SAID ALREADY SEVERAL TIMES, THE UNPAID MEDIA. 
          WE KNOW THAT, UM, THAT WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO UTILIZE EVERY SINGLE PARTNER THAT WE HAVE. 
          ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE MENTIONED IN OUR COMMITTEE WAS, WHO DO YOU KNOW? BECAUSE THAT'S THE WAY SAN ANTONIO IS. 
          WE'RE VERY, VERY RELATIONSHIP DRIVEN. 
          AND SO WE KNOW THAT WE HAVE PARTNERS THAT SIT AT THE TABLE THAT CAN ACTUALLY HELP US WITH THAT INFORMATION. 
          UM, WE WE'RE GONNA HAVE PUBLIC BROADCASTING, RADIO STATIONS, TV, SO AGAIN, ALL OF THE THINGS THAT YOU HAVE MENTIONED, WE ARE WANTING TO CIRCLE ALL THAT AROUND AND GET ALL OF THAT INFORMATION OUT. 
          WE'RE, UH, PLANNING ON USING OUR CENSUS CHAMPIONS. 
          WE HAD A REALLY INTERESTING TIME TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHO WE COULD USE A FACE THAT WAS KNOWN SO THAT PEOPLE COULD ACTUALLY SEE THAT THERE'S PEOPLE THAT ARE INVOLVED IN THIS COMMITTEE OR THIS, THIS CENSUS COUNT, THAT KNOW THAT THIS IS IMPORTANT FOR US AND THAT PEOPLE CAN RELATE TO. 
          UNIVISION WAS ACTUALLY SITTING AT OUR COMMITTEE TABLE AND THEY ACTUALLY OFFERED SOME FREE ADVERTISING AND, AND THINGS LIKE THAT. 
          SO WE KNOW THAT WE HAVE THE PARTNERS, WE JUST HAVE TO REACH OUT TO THEM. 
          AND NOW THAT THE LOGO IS, HAS BEEN DEBUTED, 
          [01:20:01]
WE'RE EXCITED TO USE THAT AS WELL. 
          UM, WE'RE DEFINITELY GONNA HAVE A DIRECT MAIL STRATEGY. 
          EVERYONE'S ALREADY MENTIONED THAT, THAT, SO I'M NOT GONNA GO THROUGH THAT AGAIN. 
          EVENT MARKETING. 
          NOW THAT'S THE PART THAT WE FOUND THE MOST DIFFICULT BECAUSE AS WE HAVE MENTIONED, AND ALMOST EVERY COMMITTEE CHAIR HAS MENTIONED IS THERE IS NOT ONE PLACE WHERE ALL OF THIS INFORMATION IS CAN BE FOUND. 
          AND SO THERE'S SEVERAL EVENTS HAPPENING HERE, SEVERAL EVENTS HAPPENING HERE, SEVERAL EVENTS AT ST. 
          PHILIP'S AND, AND ALL THE PLACES THAT WE'VE ALL REPRESENTED, BUT WE WANNA MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE AT LEAST A LIST SO THAT WE CAN START WORKING ON THAT. 
          SO THAT'S WHAT WE'RE GOING TO START WORKING ON AND COMPILING. 
          UM, THE CITY OF SAN ANTONIO IS GONNA HAVE SOME PAID LOCAL MEDIA AND, UM, AND THROUGH THOSE DOLLARS THAT WE TALKED ABOUT EARLIER, THEY'RE GONNA HAVE A LOT OF THESE THINGS DONE. 
          DIGITAL, UM, PRINT MEDIUMS, MARKETING MATERIALS, ET CETERA. 
          AND THEN WE'RE ALSO WORKING TO TRY TO FIND A SOCIAL MEDIA VENDOR. 
          WE KNOW THAT THAT'S VERY IMPORTANT, ESPECIALLY WITH OUR, OUR YOUNGER GENERATION, THAT THAT IS A VERY, VERY IMPORTANT THING. 
          SO WE WANNA MAKE SURE THAT, UH, WE GET THAT COUNTED AS WELL. 
          UM, WE WANNA MAXIMIZE THE REACH AND THE FREQUENCY. 
          WE WANNA MAKE SURE THAT EVERYWHERE YOU TURN IN JANUARY, WE HAVE THAT MESSAGING OUT. 
          AND AGAIN, IT'S GONNA BE REALLY DIFFICULT BECAUSE OF ALL OF THE OTHER ADVERTISEMENTS THAT ARE GONNA BE HAPPENING IN JANUARY. 
          UM, BY IMPLEMENTING THE PLAN, WE, UH, ISSUED RFPS FOR SOCIAL MEDIA. 
          WE'VE ISSUED RFPS FOR MEDIA PLANNING, AND, UH, OUR NEXT COMMITTEE COUNT MEETING IS ON SEPTEMBER 9TH. 
          AND SO WE ARE GOING TO COME BACK TOGETHER AND LOOK AT ALL OF THAT INFORMATION AND MAKE SURE THAT WE CAN GET THAT OUT TO THE COMM COMMUNITY. 
          AND WITH THAT, I WILL OPEN UP TO QUESTIONS. 
          I WAS JUST WONDERING, WONDERING IF WE ARE WORKING ON PSSAS FOR THE COMMITTEE? I'M SORRY, I MISSED THE QUESTION. 
          UH, IF WE'RE, IF WE'RE WORKING ON PSAS, THAT'S WHAT UNIVISION HAS OFFERED? YES. 
          UM, UNIVISION HAS ACTUALLY OFFERED TO HELP US WITH THAT. 
          UM, AND ALSO THE COMMITTEE IS GOING TO WORK ON THAT VERBIAGE BECAUSE THE CENSUS HAS THEIR LANGUAGE. 
          WE'RE JUST GONNA MAKE SURE THAT WE APPLY SAN ANTONIO LANGUAGE AS WELL. 
          DO WE HAVE ANY IDEA IN TERMS OF TIMELINES WHEN THE, THOSE BANNERS WILL BE AVAILABLE? BECAUSE I'M THINKING WE'D WANT TO PUT THEM ON ALL OF THE CAMP, ON ALL OF THE INSTITUTIONS AND IN PARTICULAR IN THOSE DESIGNATED ROOMS. SO DO WE HAVE ANY THAT'S THE TIMELINE. 
          THAT'S A QUESTION ABOVE MY PAY GRADE. 
          DR. 
          LAWSON, HOW MANY CAN I TAKE? ? WE HAVE SOME, I WILL GET THOSE TO YOU STARTING TODAY. 
          LOOK AT THAT. 
          SO WHAT WE'LL WANT TO, UH, WE'LL WANT TO PROBABLY CIRCLE BACK WITH THE STEERING COMMITTEE CHAIRS AND START TO LOOK AT, THERE WAS A SLIDE AT THE END THAT TALKED ABOUT FUNDING NEEDS AND MARKETING MATERIALS AND THINGS OF THAT NATURE. 
          AND WE'LL COME BACK AND COMPILE THAT AND MAYBE MEET AS A GROUP AND SAY, UH, YOU KNOW, THESE ARE THE TOP FIVE THINGS WE WANNA REPRODUCING. 
          THE CITY'S ALSO LOOKING AT MAGNETS AND CHAMPION BUTTONS AND PUSH CARDS AND POSTERS. 
          SO NOW THAT WE'VE GONE THROUGH THE PLANNING PHASE OF THIS AND WE HAVE A BETTER IDEA OF WHERE WE'RE GONNA BE AND WHAT WE NEED TO BE THERE IN AN EFFECTIVE MANNER TO COME BACK AND SAY, OKAY, THESE ARE THE THINGS WE NEED IN HAND. 
          AND THAT'S WHERE WE START TO SAY X NUMBER TO X GROUPS SO THAT, YOU KNOW, DWAYNE'S OFFICE ISN'T BEING RATED AT TWO IN THE MORNING FOR BANNERS. 
          SO, BUT YES, THAT IS THE NEXT PHASE OF THE PLANNING PROCESS IS TO IDENTIFY COLLATERAL MATERIALS, WHO NEEDS IT AND WHERE IF THERE'S A MORE IMMEDIATE NEED, WE DEFINITELY WANT TO BE ABLE TO FULFILL THAT. 
          SO WE WILL DEFINITELY REACH OUT TO YOU AT, UH, DR. 
          LAWSON. 
          HOLD ON. 
          I THANK YOU. 
          WHEN WILL ELECTRONIC, UM, LIKE BRANDING BE AVAILABLE AND BRANDING GUIDES? SO WE CURRENTLY HAVE THE BRANDING GUIDE AVAILABLE, UH, AND WE CAN SEND IT OUT TO THE COMMITTEE. 
          SO WE'VE GOT THE LOGO, WE'VE GOT THE HEX COLORS, THE R G B COLORS, WE'VE GOT ALL THAT READY ALONG WITH THE, UH, BRANDING BRIEF THAT'S IN YOUR FOLDERS THAT WE WANT TO ENSURE THAT THE COMMITTEE MEMBERS UNDERSTAND HOW TO USE IT. 
          AND SO THAT IS AVAILABLE AND WE WILL, UM, WORK WITH THE CO-CHAIRS TO GET THAT OUT TO YOU. 
          THANK YOU, DEBRA. 
          ALRIGHT, WELL THANK YOU VERY MUCH AND IF THE RULE COMMITTEE CAN COME UP, PLEASE. 
          THANK YOU. 
          HI, MY NAME IS HEATHER RAMALA AND I'M WITH THE RURAL SUBURBAN, UNINCORPORATED, YOU NAME IT. 
          ANYTHING OUTSIDE OF THE CITY OF SAN ANTONIO OR SOME OF THE CITIES WITHIN SAN ANTONIO. 
          AND I JUST WANNA SAY THERE'S PLENTY OF ROOM TO JOIN OUR COMMITTEE IF ANYONE WOULD LIKE TO JOIN. 
          PERHAPS OUR MEMBERSHIP IS SO LOW BECAUSE WE KEEP GETTING PUT LAST NO, I'M JUST KIDDING. 
          I'M JUST KIDDING. 
          , I'M JUST KIDDING. 
          UM, IT WAS BY ALPHABETICAL ORDER. 
          OH, OKAY. 
          WELL I'M GONNA MOVE THE, YEAH, WE, WE ARE GONNA PUT A RURAL SUBURBAN SUBCOMMITTEE MEETING. 
          WE'RE GONNA CHANGE THE NAME OF THAT. 
          UM, SO I'M SURE MOST OF YOU KNOW WHO DWAYNE IS. 
          AND DWAYNE IS ALSO THE JUDGE'S 
          [01:25:01]
COUNTY LIAISON FOR THE SUBURBAN COMMITTEES OR SUBURBAN CITIES. 
          SO DWAYNE HAS ALREADY MET WITH THE MAJORITY OF THEM AND I FEEL LIKE A LOT OF THIS IS OVERLAP WITH WHAT MANY OF YOU HAVE DISCUSSED. 
          SO WE WERE LOOKING TO IDENTIFY SOME OF THE, UM, SCHOOL DISTRICTS BESIDES THOSE MUNICIPAL AREAS THAT COULD HELP US OUT WITH OUTREACH. 
          AND WE WERE LOOKING AT THE DATA THAT, I MEAN TO ME IT'S PRETTY MUCH A SOCIOECONOMIC MAP WHERE THE LACK OF PARTICIPATION IS. 
          UH, SO THE EAST SIDE OF BEXAR COUNTY, EAST CENTRAL I S D, JUDSON, I S D. 
          AND THEN I WAS JUST KIND OF GOING AROUND 1604, SOUTH SIDE, SOMERSET, SOUTHWEST, UM, THE AREAS AROUND HIGHWAY 90, WHICH INCLUDES NORTH SIDE. 
          AND LIKE I SAID, I'M NOT MENTIONING NECESSARILY S A I S D BECAUSE I WAS LOOKING 1604 AND OUT. 
          SO WE PROBABLY NEED TO COORDINATE WITH YOU GUYS ON THE EDUCATION COMMITTEE SO THAT WE'RE NOT GIVING MIXED MESSAGES TO SOME OF THOSE SCHOOL DISTRICTS OR SO THAT NOT 10 OF US ARE TALKING TO THEM. 
          AND I'D LOVE TO DO THAT, THAT WAY MAYBE Y'ALL CAN REACH OUT TO SOME, SOME AND WE CAN REACH OUT TO SOME, WE DON'T DOUBLE OUR EFFORTS. 
          UH, SO DWAYNE HAS ALREADY, LIKE I SAID, MET WITH MANY OF THEM AND 26 OF THEM HAVE COMMITTED TO HAVING A C C C. 
          AND SO THEY ARE GONNA PARTICIPATE, UH, WITH SOME OF THEIR EVENTS. 
          WE'RE ASKING THEM FOR CALENDARS AND I FEEL LIKE ALMOST WE COULD FIND A WAY FOR ALL OF US COMMITTEES TO HAVE SOME TYPE OF MASTER CALENDAR TO COORDINATE OUR EFFORTS BETTER, UM, TO SEE WHAT EVENTS, WHO WANTS TO PARTICIPATE. 
          AND LIKE, AGAIN, YOU KNOW, DWAYNE, I ASKED HIM WHO'S ATTENDING ALL OF THESE EVENTS AND HE SAID, ME, , . 
          SO IT WOULD BE MUCH BETTER IF WE COULD ALL COORDINATE AND THEN DWAYNE'S NOT SPENDING ALL OF HIS TIME AT EVENTS, UH, AND MEETING WITH THOSE, UM, VARIOUS GROUPS. 
          THERE'S BEEN, THESE GUYS ARE WORKING, LIKE I SAID ON THE C C C, THEY'RE PLANNING, LOOKING AT VARIOUS COMMUNITY EVENTS AND SOME OF THOSE AREAS, SOME OF THE SUMMERSET, THE UNIVERSAL CITIES EVEN WITHIN THE CITY, THE BA COUNTY'S HEIGHTS, THINGS LIKE THAT. 
          UM, DWAYNE HAS MET WITH SOUTH SIDE I S D TO EXPLORE ESTABLISHING A C C C ON THEIR CAMPUSES. 
          SO THAT'S SOMETHING THAT HE PROBABLY NEEDS TO DISCUSS WITH YOU GUYS. 
          UH, WE ARE LOOKING FOR OUTREACH EVENT FROM OUR COMMISSIONERS THAT WOULD BE IN THOSE RURAL AREAS AS WELL, AS WELL AS THE EVENTS THAT THOSE COMMISSIONERS HOLD. 
          FOR EXAMPLE, COMMISSIONER RODRIGUEZ HOLDS HIS, UM, HIS COWBOY BREAKFAST EVERY YEAR. 
          UH, I KNOW COMMISSIONER CALVERT HOLDS EVENT, YOU KNOW WHAT, CAN YOU GO BACK ONE REAL QUICK? OH, ALSO MANY TIMES EVENTS IN THOSE AREAS ARE HELD AT THE VFWS. 
          SO WE'RE GONNA NEED TO MEET WITH THAT COMMITTEE AND HAVE THAT DISCUSSION WITH THEM. 
          THE KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS' AND THE CHURCH GROUPS. 
          SO EVEN IF THEY'RE NOT HOSTING THE EVENTS, OFTENTIMES THE EVENTS ARE AT THEIR FACILITIES BECAUSE THEY'RE THE OWNERS OF THOSE FACILITIES IN THOSE AREAS. 
          UH, WE'RE LOOKING AT ESTABLISHING PARTNERSHIPS, UH, YOU KNOW, AGAIN, SO THE COMMUNITY AND FAITH-BASED GROUP WE NEED TO COORDINATE WITH YOU GUYS. 
          UM, ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I WAS THINKING ABOUT A MINUTE AGO AS WELL WAS THE YOUTH SPORTS ORGANIZATIONS. 
          FOR EXAMPLE, IF YOU LOOK TO YOUTH FOOTBALL IN SAN ANTONIO OR BEXAR COUNTY, YOU WOULD FIND TFA, TEXAS YOUTH FOOTBALL ASSOCIATION, POP WARNER. 
          THEY OFTENTIMES HAVE A BOARD MEETING. 
          MAYBE IF WE COULD GO MEET WITH THOSE GUYS BECAUSE WHILE YOU MAY NOT PAY ATTENTION TO IT WHEN IT'S IN YOUR C P S BILL 'CAUSE MINE GETS EMAILED TO ME, BUT I'M DEFINITELY GONNA BE AT MIJOS GAME AND I'LL FIND OUT ABOUT IT THERE. 
          . 
          UM, SO ALSO WE WANTED TO PARTNER WITH ACOG. 
          I KNOW SOME OF Y'ALL MENTIONED THAT AS WELL. 
          SO ACOG HAS THE GROUP FOR THEIR VETERANS. 
          ACOG HAS THE AREA AGENCY ON AGING. 
          ACOG HAS A GROUP, YOU KNOW, YOU NAME IT, ACOG HAS A GROUP FOR IT. 
          SO WE WANNA MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE COORDINATING WITH THEM FOR THOSE PEOPLE THAT LIVE OUTSIDE OF THE CITY LIMITS. 
          UM, FOR EXAMPLE, IF, I KNOW WE TALKED ABOUT SENIORS EARLIER, IF A SENIOR ALL OF A SUDDEN HAS TO BE PUT ON EMERGENCY SERVICES, ACOG HAS A CASEWORKER THAT GOES OUT THERE AND MEETS WITH THEM. 
          SO THESE ARE NOT NECESSARILY PEOPLE THAT WE NEED A CENSUS PERSON WALKING IN WITH THEM, BUT WE WANNA MAKE SURE THAT THEY'RE CARRYING OUR MATERIAL. 
          UH, LET'S SEE. 
          YEAH, THE BIBLIO TECH I KNOW WAS ALREADY DISCUSSED. 
          THE LIBRARY, THE COUNTY SATELLITE OFFICES, THE UM, PRECINCT FOUR OFFICE, THE PRECINCT TWO OFFICE THAT YOU'LL HAVE THE TAX OFFICE IN THERE. 
          SO YOU'RE THERE TO GET YOUR STICKERS. 
          YOU'LL HAVE JP COURT IN THERE IN CASE YOU GOT A SPEEDING TICKET. 
          UM, YOUR SHERIFF SUBSTATIONS THAT ARE AVAILABLE IN THOSE AREAS. 
          UH, THOSE ARE JUST PART OF IDENTIFYING AREAS WHERE WE MAY WANNA HAVE MATERIAL PRESENT AND THEN WE HAVE A BUDGET. 
          SO WE WERE LOOKING AT SPENDING MONEY WITH THOSE THAT ARE WILLING TO HAVE THEIR OWN C C C AND 
          [01:30:01]
HELPING THEM OUT FUNDING WISE. 
          SO WE HAVE 50,000 FOR THIS FISCAL YEAR. 
          IF WE WANNA GET THAT SPENT ASAP SO THAT WE CAN GET SOME MORE IN THE NEXT FISCAL YEAR, UM, 26,000 WOULD GO TO THOSE CITIES AND AREAS ENGAGING WITH THE C C C, THE I S D FUNDING THAT YOU SEE UP THERE, THAT'S BECAUSE, FOR EXAMPLE, I'M FROM EAST CENTRAL, WE HAVE A NEWSLETTER THAT GOES OUT EVERY COUPLE OF MONTHS. 
          SO I MAY NOT READ THE EXPRESS NEWS WHEN I PICK IT UP, BUT I'M DEFINITELY GONNA READ THAT TO MAKE SURE I'M NOT MISSING SOMETHING AT THE SCHOOL THAT I NEED TO BE ATTENDING. 
          UM, SO I KNOW THERE ARE OTHER SCHOOL DISTRICTS THAT HAVE THOSE AS WELL OR PERHAPS SOME OTHER ADVERTISEMENT THAT WE CAN HAVE THERE. 
          UM, ANY OF THOSE OTHER COMMUNITY BASED ORGANIZATIONS, MARKETING MATERIALS, THOSE MATERIALS WE WOULD LIKE TO DEVELOP AN F A Q AS WELL, KIND OF LIKE A RAC CARD OF SOME SORT. 
          AND WE WERE HOPING TO HAVE ON THE BACK BECAUSE OF THE SOCIOECONOMICS OF OUR AREA. 
          SOMETHING LIKE, FOR EXAMPLE, THE QUESTION, WE'VE HAD THIS DISCUSSION MANY TIMES ON OUR MEETINGS, SO NOW THAT THE QUESTION IS NO LONGER LISTED IN THERE, WE WANNA MAKE SURE EVERYONE IS AWARE THE QUESTION IS NOT ON THERE. 
          WE WANNA MAKE SURE I HAVE TWO COLLEGE STUDENTS, I WANT THEM TO FILL IT OUT HERE BECAUSE I WANT A NEW CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT. 
          I DON'T WANT THEM FILLING IT OUT AT THEIR DORMS. UM, SO ALSO BECAUSE MANY TIMES WE HAVE MULTI-GENERATIONAL FAMILIES, ESPECIALLY OUT IN THE RURAL AREAS. 
          SO IF ME HAS STILL LIVES WITH ME OR GRANDMA LIVES WITH ME, WHO'S FILLING THAT OUT? DOES SHE NEED TO FILL OUT HER OWN? DO I INCLUDE HER IN MINE? HOW ARE WE DOING THAT? WE ALSO WANNA MAKE SURE THAT THEY ARE AWARE OF HOW TO ACCESS THIS BY PAPER. 
          UM, I KNOW MANY TIMES THAT'S AN AREA THAT DOESN'T EVEN WANT TO VOTE USING THE ELECTRONIC VOTING SYSTEM. 
          SO WE WANNA MAKE SURE THAT THEY'RE ABLE TO DO THAT AND WE WANNA INCLUDE THAT IN THAT MATERIAL. 
          TRANSPORTATION MEDIA IS BECAUSE WE ARE GETTING MAGNETS FOR SOME OF THE VEHICLES THAT THE COUNTY OWNS AND THAT WAY IT'LL CARRY THAT MESSAGE ON THERE AS THEY'RE DRIVING AROUND THE COUNTY. 
          OR IF WE JUST HAVE THEM PARKED IN A CERTAIN AREA, THEN WE WANNA HAVE THOSE OUT THERE AND STAFF RESOURCES FOR ANYTHING ELSE THE STAFF MAY NEED. 
          UH, SO THESE ARE SOME OF THE THINGS THAT JUST, YOU KNOW, WE IDENTIFIED AS, OKAY, THESE ARE EVENTS THAT WE CAN HAVE SOME PEOPLE AT, SOME MATERIAL AT DO SOME ADVERTISING. 
          WE ARE LOOKING AT PUTTING TOGETHER A FUTURE CALENDAR, LIKE I MENTIONED, TO HAVE THE LEVERAGE THOSE RESOURCES THAT THE COUNTY ALREADY HAS. 
          THE FREEMAN COLISEUM HAS ABOUT A MILLION GRADUATIONS, UH, THE AT T CENTER, SOMERSET FOOTBALL STADIUM, EAST CENTRALS, JUDSONS, ALL OF THOSE AND MAKING SURE THAT WE ARE GETTING OUR MESSAGE UP THERE ON THEIR BOARD. 
          THAT'S IT. 
          AND AS I MENTIONED WITH THE CALENDAR, SO NEXT STEPS FOR US IS WE'RE PUTTING TOGETHER A MORE DETAILED CALENDAR BECAUSE WE WANNA IDENTIFY THOSE EVENTS WHERE WE MAY ACTUALLY WANT SOMEONE TO BE AT OR SHARE THAT WITH THE CENSUS SO THAT YOU HAVE A BOOTH THERE AND THOSE EVENTS WHERE WE JUST WANNA MAKE SURE WE HAVE MATERIAL AND WHATEVER STAFF IT IS FOR WHATEVER AGENCY IT IS THAT THEY'RE CARRYING THAT. 
          ANY QUESTIONS? I, I LIKE THE IDEA OF THE CAR MAGNETS AND I'M WONDERING IF THAT'S SOMETHING, IF THERE'S A BUDGET FOR THAT, IF IT COULD BE EXPANDED. 
          SO FOR EXAMPLE, AVANSE HAS A FLEET OF BUSES THAT WE USE TO, TO BRING OUR FAMILIES TO OUR LOCATIONS AND IT'S A TRUSTED NAME IN THE NEIGHBORHOODS AND THEY ARE THE, THE NEIGHBORHOODS THAT ARE TYPICALLY UNDER COUNTED. 
          SO, YOU KNOW, AND I'M SURE THERE ARE MANY OTHER NONPROFITS AND OTHERS THAT COULD KIND OF CO-BRAND IN THAT WAY. 
          SO WORTH CONSIDERING AND I KNOW THAT WE ARE LOOKING AT IT AND OUR BUDGET INCLUDES THOSE COLLATERAL MATERIALS FOR THE COUNTY AND FOR THOSE RESOURCES THAT WE NEED OUTSIDE OF 1604. 
          I DUNNO IF THE MEDIA COMMITTEE PERHAPS IS LOOKING INTO THAT AND MAYBE THEY COULD BE USED FOR OTHER AGENCIES AS WELL. 
          OKAY, GOT YOU. 
          THAT'S A YES. 
          . 
          I HAVE A QUESTION ABOUT, UM, I GUESS I KEPT HEARING THROUGHOUT THE CONVERSATIONS ABOUT THE VARIETY OF LANGUAGES THAT WE HAVE IN SAN ANTONIO. 
          ARE YOU ACTUALLY GONNA BE HIRING A PROFESSIONAL LANGUAGE TRANSLATOR TO HELP FAMILIES WITH THE CENSUS? I'LL SAY THAT'S SNAP. 
          SO THAT IS ONE OF THE STRATEGIES THAT'S BEEN TALKED ABOUT TO PROVIDE DOLLARS FOR PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AROUND, UH, LANGUAGE. 
          BUT I'M GONNA ASK THE BUREAU TO ADDRESS THAT A LITTLE BIT AS WELL. 
          YEAH, YEAH. 
          WE'RE, WE'RE, UH, WE'RE ACTUALLY TRYING TO IDENTIFY SOURCES, UH, OUT IN THE COMMUNITY THAT CAN DO THAT FOR US AS WELL. 
          THAT'S PROBABLY THE PRIMARY, UM, APPROACH FOR US IS TO TRY TO GET SOMEBODY THAT'S A TRUSTED, UH, SPOKESPERSON WITHIN THE COMMUNITY TO HELP OUT WITH LANGUAGE BARRIERS. 
          AND THERE ARE A LOT OF 'EM OUT THERE IS JUST FINDING THEM IS, UH, IS REALLY THE QUESTION. 
          YEAH, WE CAN, WE CAN DIRECTLY THAT WOULD BE 
          [01:35:01]
AWESOME. 
          ABSOLUTELY. 
          YEAH. 
          AND WE CAN IDENTIFY SOME OF THOSE. 
          ANYTHING ELSE YOU WANNA ADD? THANK YOU. 
          AND THAT, UH, ANAM MARIA FROM ROED HERE, WHO IS GOING TO BE ONE OF OUR STAKEHOLDER PARTNERS, JOHN? YEAH, I, I CAN, YEAH. 
          TRADER'S VILLAGE ON SOUTHWEST SIDE HAS A HUGE, UH, BASE THAT GOES OUT THERE AND SHOPS EVERY WEEKEND. 
          BUT THERE'S OTHER FLEA MARKETS SPREAD THROUGHOUT SOUTH, UH, EAST AND WEST BEAR COUNTY AND, AND THESE ARE AREAS WHERE YOU'RE TRYING TO REACH PEOPLE THE MOST. 
          'CAUSE THOSE WERE UN UNDERCOUNT THE MOST IN 2010. 
          SO I ENCOURAGE YOU TO LOOK AT THE FLEA MARKETS THAT ARE AROUND TOWN AND USING THAT AS SOME WAY TO TRY TO REACH OUT TO PEOPLE. 
          SURE, WE CAN CERTAINLY LOOK INTO THAT AND WE'D CONTACT THE OWNERS AND, AND SEE WHO IS WILLING FOR US TO LET US PLACE THAT MATERIAL, UM, FREE. 
          THAT'S GONNA BE PART OF IT IS THAT FOR US ON THE COUNTY SIDE, WE DON'T HAVE QUITE THE FUNDING THAT THE CITY SIDE HAS, SO WE NEED TO BE VERY STRATEGIC IN OUR MARKETING EFFORTS AS WELL. 
          THANK YOU. 
          THANK YOU ALL. 
          ALRIGHT, WELL, LOTS MORE WORK TO DO, EH, , THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR PRESENTATIONS TODAY. 
          I REALLY APPRECIATE IT. 
          UH, I KNOW REBECCA AND I WERE EXCITED AND NERVOUS ABOUT TODAY AND YOU GUYS HIT IT OUT OF THE BALLPARK. 
          A COUPLE OF THINGS JUST IN TERMS OF NEXT STEPS, THERE'S OBVIOUSLY MORE WORK TO DO, MORE COORDINATION. 
          WE HEARD FROM YOU, SO I'M SURE WE'LL BE DEBRIEFING WITH BERTHA AND DWAYNE HOW TO COORDINATE ON MEETINGS SO PEOPLE CAN SEE A CALENDAR VERSUS JUST LOADED EMAILS ABOUT DATES AND TIMES THAT ARE GOING ON. 
          SO WE'LL GET BACK TO YOU ON THAT. 
          AND THEN THE SECOND, JUST AS LEADERS WITHIN THIS COMMITTEE, COMMITTEE, GOING BACK TO YOUR COUNCIL PERSONS AND YOUR COUNTY OFFICIALS THAT APPOINTED YOU AND LETTING, LETTING THEM KNOW ABOUT THIS WOULD BE VERY IMPORTANT. 
          UM, BECAUSE AS YOU SAW, WE HAVE SEVERAL REQUESTS AS IT RELATES TO COLLATERAL AND HAVING LOCALIZED MATERIAL AND YOU SHARING THIS INFORMATION AND BEING AMBASSADORS FOR BUDGET PURPOSES OR FOR THEIR DISTRICT OFFICES TO SUPPORT IS ALSO GOING TO BE IMPORTANT AS WELL. 
          SO I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE, UH, THE MESSAGE TO THEM, GET THEM EXCITED. 
          UM, MARIO CAN'T DO IT ALL. 
          UM, I'M SURE HE CAN. 
          UM, BUT JUST COMING FROM YOUR OWN CONSTITUENT, THAT MAKES A DIFFERENCE AS WELL. 
          SO REBECCA, YOU HAVE ANY OTHER WORDS YOU'D LIKE TO SHARE? YOU BETCHA. 
          THE TIME THAT YOU PUT IN OVER THE SUMMER HAS BEEN PHENOMENAL. 
          THE NEXT PLANNING PHASE IS FROM NOW THROUGH NOVEMBER. 
          NOVEMBER THE SIXTH IS WHEN WE MEET AGAIN, IT'LL BE HERE IN THIS ROOM AGAIN. 
          SO THANK YOU FOR COMING. 
          UM, AND DURING THIS NEXT THREE MONTHS, THIS IS WHEN WE'RE GONNA START TO PUT THE PACKAGES TOGETHER. 
          RIGHT NOW THE JELLO IS STILL KIND OF WIGGLY IN THE, IN THE FRIDGE AND IT'LL BE MUCH MORE. 
          SO NEXT TIME WE TOUCH IT, IT'LL WIGGLE TO THE OTHER END AND IT'LL BE MORE SOLID. 
          BUT ALL WE'RE DOING, DOING NOW FOR THESE NEXT FEW MONTHS IS GETTING READY FOR JANUARY FOR THE BIG KICKOFF. 
          THAT IS THE KEY. 
          AND SO ALL OF THE IDEAS THAT HAVE BEEN PRESENTED ON THE BOARD, ALL OF THE IDEAS THAT HAVE BEEN TALKED ABOUT THIS A THIS AFTERNOON ABOUT DID YOU THINK ABOUT, DID YOU ADD, HOW ABOUT THIS? THOSE ARE ALL GONNA BE PLUGGED IN NOT ONLY FOR ONE COMMITTEE, BUT FOR MANY OTHERS BECAUSE WE'RE FINDING THAT THERE'S A LOT OF LINKS AND, AND A LOT OF, UH, A LOT OF GOOD FLOW FROM FROM ONE COMMITTEE TO THE NEXT. 
          AND THAT'S GONNA BE THE KEY BECAUSE IF WE MISS ONE, SOMEONE ELSE WILL GET IT. 
          OR WHO KNOWS, WE MAY BE TRIPLING ON THINGS, BUT THE MORE PEOPLE HEAR ABOUT IT, THE MORE THEY'RE, THEY'RE GONNA SAY, YES, THIS IS IMPORTANT. 
          IT'S NOT JUST SOME WHIM. 
          SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR COMING. 
          WE'LL SEE YOU IN NOVEMBER ON NOVEMBER THE SIXTH, 11 O'CLOCK AND WE'LL BE SEEING YOU BETWEEN NOW AND NOVEMBER DATE. 
          JUST ONE FINAL NOTE, AS WE MOVE INTO THE NEXT, UH, PHASE OF PLANNING, I'LL BE, UH, ASKING ANY OF YOU POLICY DATA WONKS, UH, TO JOIN IN A MEETING. 
          I HAVE, UH, HAD PRELIMINARY DISCUSSIONS WITH DR. 
          LLOYD POTTER AND LAURA MCEWING, OUR DATA GURUS, AND WE ARE NEEDING TO START TO LOOK AT METRICS. 
          WE ARE VERY EXCITED ABOUT THE NEAR REAL TIME DATA THAT THE BUREAU WILL MAKE AVAILABLE BY CENSUS TRACK AND THAT IS GOING TO HELP US OPTIMIZE AT THE LOCAL LEVEL OUR OUTREACH STRATEGIES. 
          SO WE KNOW IN 2020 WAS THAT, IS THAT OUTREACH STRATEGY EFFECTIVE? AND IT'S NOT, WHAT DO WE NEED TO DO TO CHANGE IT? SO WE'RE GONNA BE LOOKING AT HOW TO CREATE METRICS BY CENSUS TRACK, BY CLUSTERS, BY STRATEGY. 
          SO AGAIN, ALL YOU POLICY DATA WONKS, UH, STEP FOREIGN, IT'S, IT'S OUR, IT'S OUR TURN . 
          SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH. 
          THANK YOU.
