          [1. 20-2333 Briefing and update on SA2020. [Molly Cox, President and CEO,
SA2020]]
GOOD AFTERNOON, MAYOR AND COUNCIL. 
          UH, TODAY'S BRIEFING. 
          OUR FIRST BRIEFING TODAY, UH, WILL BE AN UPDATE AND OVERVIEW OF SA 2020S, UH, WORK IN DRIVING PROGRESS, UH, TOWARD A SHARED VISION OF A THRIVING SAN ANTONIO GOALS THAT WERE SET. 
          UM, 10 YEARS AGO, MOLLY COX, THE PRESIDENT, AND C E O OF SA 2020 IS HERE TO PROVIDE THAT BRIEFING. 
          MOLLY, WELCOME. 
          MOLLY. 
          THANK YOU, . 
          IT WAS THE WAY YOU SAID IT WITH A SMILE THAT MADE ME KIND OF GIGGLE A LITTLE BIT. 
          UM, I AM ACTUALLY, UH, THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR HAVING US. 
          UM, I'M HERE WITH KIERAN COBAIN, ALSO A MEMBER OF THE SA 2020 TEAM, AND THEN OUR ENTIRE ACTUALLY TEAM IS HERE, UH, IN OUR FRONT ROW. 
          WE ALSO HAVE SOME BOARD MEMBERS, COMMITTEE MEMBERS AND AMBASSADORS, UH, JOINING US, UM, AS WELL. 
          AND THEN I THINK WE HAVE A FEW AMBASSADORS WHO ARE ONLINE. 
          SO HELLO AND SHOUT OUT TO THEM TOO. 
          UH, THE QUESTION WE GET ASKED, I THINK MOST FREQUENTLY, UH, PARTICULARLY AS WE MOVE THROUGH AND INTO THE YEAR 2020, IS, SO WHAT HAPPENS IN THE YEAR 2020 THROUGHOUT THIS YEAR, SC 2020 IS REAFFIRMING AND STRENGTHENING SAN ANTONIO'S COMMUNITY VISION, UM, FOR THE NEXT DECADE. 
          SIX WEEKS AGO, WE LAUNCHED A THREE QUESTION SURVEY ASKING PEOPLE TO SHARE WHAT DO THEY WANT TO MAINTAIN AND PRESERVE IN SAN ANTONIO? WHAT DO THEY HOPE TO SEE IMPROVED OR WHAT WOULD THEY LIKE TO CHANGE? NEARLY 3000 PEOPLE HAVE PARTICIPATED IN THIS SURVEY, WHETHER THAT WAS ONLINE OR AND IN PERSON. 
          AND TRANSPARENCY IN THIS PROCESS IS VERY IMPORTANT TO SA 2020. 
          WE HAVE POSTED A DASHBOARD AS OF TWO WEEKS AGO THAT TRACKS THE DEMOGRAPHICS OF THE FOLKS WHO HAVE PARTICIPATED IN THIS SURVEY, AS WELL AS ELEVATING THE PRIORITIES THAT HAVE MERGED BOTH IN MAINTAINING AND PRESERVING THINGS IN SAN ANTONIO, ANTONIO, AS WELL AS CHANGING AND IMPROVING THINGS. 
          AND BECAUSE THAT INFORMATION IS POSTED ONLINE TRANSPARENTLY, YOU CAN INTERACT WITH THAT INFORMATION AND SEE WHAT ARE THE PRIORITIES THAT ARE EMERGING THAT ARE SPECIFIC TO YOUR CITY COUNCIL DISTRICTS. 
          YOU CAN ISOLATE AND LOOK AT WHAT ARE THE SPECIFIC FOLKS IN SAN ANTONIO, WHO ARE THEY THAT ARE ENGAGING WITH THIS BY RACE OR GENDER AND AGE, AND WHAT ARE THEY SPECIFICALLY SAYING ARE THEIR PRIORITIES ACROSS DEMOGRAPHICS? MOBILITY IS RISING TO THE TOP, FOLLOWED BY INFRASTRUCTURE AND EDUCATION. 
          UH, WE ARE REAFFIRMING AND STRENGTHENING THE COMMUNITY VISION THAT ALREADY EXISTS. 
          UH, IN 2010, NEARLY 6,000 PEOPLE CAME TOGETHER TO DRAFT THIS VISION FOR THE FUTURE OF SAN ANTONIO. 
          UM, WITH THAT FINAL SENTENCE, OUR ENTIRE COMMUNITY TAKES RESPONSIBILITY FOR OUR COLLECTIVE WELLBEING, REALLY BEING SORT OF THE DRIVING, UH, SENTENCE FOR THE WORK THAT WE'VE BEEN DOING OVER THE COURSE OF THE LAST DECADE. 
          UM, THE COMMUNITY 
          [00:05:01]
PRIORITIZED 11 RESULTS. 
          UH, THINGS LIKE WE WOULD BE WORLD RENOWNED FOR ARTS AND CULTURE. 
          WE WOULD HAVE A QUALITY ACCESS TO QUALITY EDUCATION, NO MATTER A STUDENT'S ZIP CODE. 
          WE WOULD HAVE A SAFE AND DEFICIENT TRANSIT SYSTEM THAT ALLOWS EVERYONE TO WALK, WHEEL RIDE, OR DRIVE WHEREVER THEY ARE GOING, A TRANSPARENT AND ACCOUNTABLE GOVERNMENT. 
          UM, THE PROCESS, AS MANY OF YOU KNOW, AND MANY PARTICIPATED IN, UH, BEGAN IN 2010 AS A PUBLIC PARTICIPATION PROCESS UNDER FORMER MAYOR JULIAN CASTRO. 
          UM, THE IDEA REALLY WAS TO SORT OF FIGURE OUT COULD WE ASK THE COMMUNITY AT LARGE TO TELL US WHERE THEY WOULD LIKE US TO GO, UM, AS A CITY, AS A COMMUNITY, AND HOW WOULD WE EVEN TRACK GETTING THERE. 
          UM, IT WAS UNPRECEDENTED THAT NEARLY 6,000 PEOPLE PARTICIPATED. 
          UM, ONE OF THE MOST SUCCESSFUL COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT PROCESSES AT THE TIME, THE TAGLINE AT THE TIME WAS DREAM IT, MAP IT, DO IT. 
          WE ASKED THE COMMUNITY TO DREAM WHAT THE FUTURE COULD POTENTIALLY LOOK LIKE, MAP IT, TELL US HOW WE WOULD EVEN KNOW IF WE WERE GETTING CLOSE TO THAT. 
          AND IT WAS IN THE DO IT PART. 
          I THINK THAT, UM, WE STARTED TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT WOULD BE THE NEXT STEPS. 
          THERE WASN'T ANOTHER CITY TO SORT OF POINT TO AND SAY, HOW DO WE MAKE THIS THING REAL? UM, AND IT HAS BEEN KIND OF AN INTERESTING, UH, DECADE OF FIGURING OUT HOW TO DO IT. 
          YEAH. 
          THE COMMUNITY VISION ITSELF, UH, ALLOWS FOR FORCED ALIGNMENT REALLY ACROSS ORGANIZATIONS AND SECTORS, TOWARD COMMUNITY RESULTS. 
          AND IN FACT, IT HAS LED TO QUITE A FEW, UH, BIG, BOLD EFFORTS. 
          THE COMMUNITY VISION, UM, IS IMPORTANT, UH, NOT JUST FOR WHAT IT SAYS, BUT FOR WHAT IT ASKS US TO ALIGN TOWARDS TO WHAT IT SHOWS US WE NEED TO PRIORITIZE. 
          UM, AND WHAT YOU SEE THEN IS CROSS-SECTOR COLLABORATIVE TARGETED INTERVENTIONS THAT HAVE BEEN OCCURRING OVER THE COURSE OF THE LAST DECADE BASED ON WHAT SAN ANTONIANS PRIORITIZED AS THE THINGS, THE RESULTS THAT THEY WANTED TO SEE. 
          FOR EXAMPLE, WHEN SAN ANTONIAN SAID, WE WANT EDUCATION, UH, ACCESS, NO MATTER YOUR ZIP CODE, AND WE THINK WE WOULD KNOW IF THAT WAS OCCURRING, IF KINDER READINESS WENT UP. 
          PRE-K FOR ESSAY WAS ONE OF THE FIRST BOLD EFFORTS TO COME OUT OF THAT. 
          WHEN WE SAID THAT WE WANTED DOWNTOWN TO BE EVERYONE'S NEIGHBORHOOD WHERE WE COULD LIVE, WORK, AND PLAY. 
          THE DECADE OF DOWNTOWN LAUNCHED INTO FIGURING OUT HOW TO PUT MORE HOUSING INTO OUR DOWNTOWN SECTOR, MORE EMPLOYMENT AND EMPLOYEES IN OUR DOWNTOWN. 
          WHEN WE SAID WE WANTED TO HAVE THE HEALTHIEST RESIDENTS IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, SAN ANTONIO SAID, WE WOULD KNOW THAT WOULD BE REAL IF WE WERE INCREASING ACCESS TO HEALTHCARE. 
          WHEN ENROLLS SA LAUNCHED, UM, AS A MULTI-SECTOR OPPORTUNITY TO GET MORE PEOPLE ENROLLED IN HEALTHCARE, IT WAS TOWARDS THAT GOAL. 
          UM, AND FINALLY, THE COMMUNITY VISION MADE THESE EFFORTS OCCUR. 
          WHILE AT SAN ANTONIO'S COMMUNITY VISION THAT MADE THESE EFFORTS OCCUR, IT IS SA 20 TWENTY'S RESPONSIBILITY TO HOLD THE COMMUNITY AT LARGE ACCOUNTABLE TO THESE RESULTS. 
          TODAY, SAN ANTONIO IS THE ONLY LARGE CITY IN THE ENTIRE UNITED STATES THAT HAS A COMMUNITY VISION WRITTEN BY THE FOLKS WHO CALL THE COMMUNITY HOME, AN INDEPENDENT NONPROFIT ORGANIZATION THAT'S A 2020 THAT'S DRIVING PROGRESS, ACTIVATING INDIVIDUALS AND ORGANIZATIONS, AND HAS OVER 160 PARTNER MULTI-SECTOR ORGANIZATIONS THAT HAVE COMMITTED TO ACTIVELY ALIGNING THEIR WORK TOWARDS THIS VISION. 
          AND IN FACT, OTHER CITIES ARE TAKING NOTICE BOTH OF THE FACT THAT WE HAVE A COMMUNITY VISION AND AN INDEPENDENT NONPROFIT THAT IS HOLDING THE COMMUNITY ACCOUNTABLE. 
          LAST YEAR ALONE, WE HEARD FROM AND WORKED WITH ABILENE, WICHITA, INDIANAPOLIS, AND BERGEN COUNTY, NEW JERSEY. 
          AND TODAY WE WANNA SHARE WITH Y'ALL HOW EXACTLY WE ARE DOING THIS WORK BECAUSE WE ARE ACCOUNTABLE TO THE COMMUNITY VISION SA 2020 TRANSPARENTLY REPORTS ON PROGRESS REPORTS, LIKE, UM, THE NONPROFIT PARTNER IMPACT REPORT, WHICH YOU ALL SHOULD HAVE A COPY OF IN FRONT OF YOU. 
          UM, OUR CITY COUNCIL REPORTS THAT ALLOW FOR, UM, DISAGGREGATING THE INDICATORS BY COUNCIL DISTRICTS TO SHOW YOU WHERE YOUR COUNCIL DISTRICTS SIT ON THE COMMUNITY VISION. 
          ORGANIZATIONAL REPORTS THAT ALLOW US TO WORK WITH ORGANIZATIONS AND COMPANIES LIKE HIXSON PROPERTIES OR BANK OF AMERICA TO HELP THEM UNDERSTAND WHAT THEIR IMPACT IS ON THE COMMUNITY VISION AND EVEN COMMUNICATIONS. 
          RIGHT? IN PODCASTS WITH, IN COLLABORATION WITH K L R N, UH, AND ONGOING DIGITAL PRESENCE AND IN PRESENTATIONS IN 
          [00:10:01]
MEDIA, WE ARE PROBABLY BEST KNOWN FOR THE ANNUAL IMPACT REPORT THAT WE PUT OUT EVERY YEAR, SIX WEEKS AGO. 
          WE PUT THAT OUT. 
          UM, THE REPORT IS A SNAPSHOT. 
          IT SHOULD BE LOOKED AT AS A SNAPSHOT, UM, AND SHOULD INSTILL CURIOSITY, GETTING YOU TO ASK WHY SOMETHING IS MOVING OR WHY SOMETHING IS NOT. 
          UM, UNDERSTANDING SORT OF THE INTERRELATEDNESS OF THE DATA AND THE AREAS THAT WE ARE TRYING TO INFLUENCE. 
          THERE ARE 62 INDICATORS THAT WE'VE IDENTIFIED AND PRIORITIZED BY THE COMMUNITY. 
          ABOUT A THIRD OF THOSE ARE DISAGGREGATED BY RACE, GENDER, AND AGE, UH, IN EVEN GEOGRAPHY WHERE AVAILABLE. 
          UM, CITY DEPARTMENTS MAKE UP EIGHT OF THE 33 SOURCES WE RECEIVE OUR INFORMATION FROM. 
          UM, AND THE REPORT IS IN PRINT AND ONLINE, UH, ON A DASHBOARD THAT ACTUALLY WON BEST, UH, COMMUNITY INDICATORS PROJECT FROM THE COMMUNITY INDICATORS CONSORTIUM IN 2019, UM, AND PUT TOGETHER, UH, AND LAUNCHED BY A FANTASTIC GROUP OF VOLUNTEERS WHO DONATE THEIR TIME AND SMARTS TO MAKING OUR INDICATOR DASHBOARD EASILY ACCESSIBLE. 
          UM, AND WE KNOW THAT THIS WORK IS WORKING. 
          UH, WHEN WE ARE WORKING TOWARDS COMMON GOALS, POSITIVE COMMUNITY CHANGE HAPPENS. 
          AND WE DON'T JUST BELIEVE THAT AT SA 2020, WE PROVE IT RIGHT. 
          72% OF THE INDICATORS WE ARE TRACKING ARE MOVING IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION. 
          THAT'S 44 OF 62 INDICATORS DOING BETTER TODAY THAN THEY WERE WHEN WE STARTED. 
          AND WE ALSO KNOW THAT MORE WORK REMAINS. 
          WE KNOW THAT EARLY CHILDHOOD IS SEEING SOME FANTASTIC IMPROVEMENTS IN KINDER READINESS AND EVEN SOME PROGRESS IN THIRD GRADE LITERACY AND ALSO MATERNAL AND INFANT HEALTH, PARTICULARLY WHEN YOU DISAGGREGATE THAT BY RACE IS HAVING CHALLENGES. 
          WE KNOW THAT HIGHER ED AND WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT IS A CHALLENGE FOR US. 
          89% OF OUR STUDENTS ARE NOW GRADUATING HIGH SCHOOL UP FROM 74% OF OUR STUDENTS AND EVERYTHING BEYOND HIGH SCHOOL HAS FLATLINED. 
          AND WE KNOW THAT 65% OF JOBS TODAY REQUIRES SOMETHING BEYOND HIGH SCHOOL. 
          WE KNOW THAT COST OF LIVING AND QUALITY OF LIFE CONTINUES TO BE A CHALLENGE IN SAN ANTONIO, WHERE ONE IN THREE PEOPLE CAN'T AFFORD THE HOMES THAT THEY LIVE IN. 
          WHERE WE SEE UNEMPLOYMENT AT ITS ALL TIME LOW, AND AT THE SAME TIME, UNDEREMPLOYMENT GOING UP. 
          WE KNOW THAT FAMILY VIOLENCE IS A CHALLENGE IN OUR COMMUNITY AND AFFECTS LITERALLY EVERY COUNCIL DISTRICT AND EVERY PART OF OUR COMMUNITY. 
          AND MOBILITY CONTINUES TO BE A CHALLENGE. 
          AND WHEN WE SAY MOBILITY, WE'RE TALKING ABOUT NOT ONLY PUBLIC TRANSIT AND ALTERNATIVE TRANSIT USE, BUT ALSO ACCESS TO PARKS AND GREEN SPACES, WALKABILITY AND MICRO MOBILITY, MICRO MOBILITY. 
          AND IN EACH OF THESE INSTANCES, WE CAN SHOW YOU WHERE TARGETED INTERVENTIONS ACTUALLY WORKED TO INCREASE THE, UH, PROGRESS IN THESE COMMUNITY INDICATORS. 
          IN ADDITION TO TRANSPARENTLY REPORTING ON THE COMMUNITY'S PROGRESS, SA 2010 IS WORKING TO ALIGN ORGANIZATIONS TOWARD SHARED GOALS. 
          THOSE WITH THE 160 PLUS MULTI-SECTOR PARTNER ORGANIZATIONS, AND IN 2019 ALONE, WE SAW A 20% GROWTH ACROSS THOSE PARTNERSHIPS. 
          THERE'S AN APPLICATION PROCESS TO BECOME A PARTNER WITH SA 2020 THAT ASKS FOLKS AND ORGANIZATIONS TO SHOW US HOW THEIR SPECIFIC OR OUTCOMES ARE MOVING THE NEEDLE ON COMMUNITY LEVEL RESULTS. 
          WE THEN WORK WITH PARTNER ORGANIZATIONS TO STRENGTHEN THEIR CAPACITY AND TO STRENGTHEN THEIR ABILITY TO IDENTIFY AND PRIORITIZE THOSE OUTCOMES AND MAKE THE GREATEST POSSIBLE IMPACT TOWARDS THE COMMUNITY VISION. 
          THIS WORK THEN GIVES US A UNIQUE BIRD'S EYE VIEW OF SAN ANTONIO. 
          OUR ONLINE INTERACTIVE ECOSYSTEM MAP ALLOWS YOU TO ISOLATE ANY SPECIFIC COMMUNITY RESULT AND SEE THE BREADTH OF SA 2020 PARTNERS THAT ARE MOVING THE NEEDLE TOWARDS THOSE RESULTS. 
          OR YOU COULD ISOLATE A SPECIFIC SECTOR AND SEE, FOR EXAMPLE, WHAT NONPROFITS ARE DOING IN SAN ANTONIO, OR WHAT FOUNDATIONS AND FUNDERS OR GOVERNMENT OR EDUCATION INSTITUTIONS ACROSS ALL OF OUR PARTNERSHIPS ARE DOING. 
          OR YOU COULD LOOK AT A VERY SPECIFIC NON-PROFIT OR VERY SPECIFIC PARTNER AND SEE HOW THEY'RE MOVING THE NEEDLE IN VARIOUS WAYS TOWARDS SAN ANTONIO'S COMMUNITY VISION. 
          WE CALL THIS WORK THAT WE DO WITH OUR PARTNERS, MICRO AND MACRO LEVEL ACCOUNTABILITY TO SAN ANTONIO'S COMMUNITY VISION THROUGH FACILITATION TRAINING, DATA ANALYSIS AND EVALUATION THROUGH STRENGTHENING THE CAPACITY FOR ORGANIZATIONS TO COMMUNICATE THEIR IMPACT. 
          WE DO THIS WORK WITH THE UNDERSTANDING THAT NO ONE ORGANIZATION, EVEN LOCAL GOVERNMENT, CAN BY WORKING ALONE, ACHIEVE ENTIRE COMMUNITY RESULTS. 
          THE CITY OF SAN ANTONIO IS ONE PARTNER ORGANIZATION, 
          [00:15:01]
FOR EXAMPLE, THAT HAS THE MISSION OF DELIVERING QUALITY SERVICES TO SAN ANTONIO'S VISION OF PROSPERITY, AND THEN HOW SIGNIFICANT IT IS IN SAN ANTONIO TO BE ONE OF THE ONLY LARGE CITIES IN THE COUNTRY WITH A VISION AND WITH ORGANIZATIONS ACTIVELY ALIGNING AND WITH AN INDEPENDENT NONPROFIT HOLDING THE COMMUNITY ACCOUNTABLE THAT WE HAVE THIS VISION DEFINED. 
          AND FOR THROUGHOUT THIS YEAR, WE'LL BE REAFFIRMING AND STRENGTHENING THAT VISION FOR THE NEXT DECADE. 
          MORE SPECIFICALLY, WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE IN WORKING WITH AN ORGANIZATION LIKE THE CITY OF SAN ANTONIO IS THE UNDERSTANDING THAT LOCAL GOVERNMENT IS DRIVING SPECIFIC POLICIES, SPECIFIC SERVICES AND PROGRAMS. OUR FACILITATION AND CAPACITY BUILDING WORK WITH ORGANIZATIONS IS TO STRENGTHEN THAT WORK SO THAT IT'S DRIVING ORGANIZATIONAL OUTCOMES AND ALSO NORMALIZING LANGUAGE ACROSS ORGANIZATIONS THAT WE'RE ALL UTILIZING THE SAME DEFINITION FOR OUTCOMES. 
          WE UNDERSTAND THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN OUTCOMES OR COMMUNITY RESULTS OR PERFORMANCE METRICS AND COMMUNITY INDICATORS. 
          AND WE KNOW BY STRENGTHENING THE IMPACT OF CITY GOVERNMENT, WE CAN THEN MAKE SURE THAT THE IMPACT TOWARDS SAN ANTONIO'S COMMUNITY VISION IS ALWAYS MAXIMIZED. 
          AND THIS UNIQUE BIRD'S EYE VIEW THAT SAN ANTONIO HOLDS ALLOWS FOR A FEEDBACK LOOP OF, BECAUSE WE KNOW WHERE WE CAN CELEBRATE INCREMENTAL PROGRESS, AND WE CAN ALSO HIGHLIGHT CHALLENGES. 
          WE CAN INFLUENCE PARTNER ORGANIZATIONS TO WORK TOGETHER BETTER, WHILE ALSO DOUBLING DOWN ON EFFORTS TO MAKE THE GREATEST POSSIBLE IMPACT IN LOCAL GOVERNMENT. 
          WE KNOW THAT THERE'S OFTENTIMES A SENSE OF INFINITE NEED AND FINITE RESOURCES. 
          THIS WORK OF IDENTIFYING AND PRIORITIZING OUTCOMES ACROSS, FOR EXAMPLE, SPECIFIC CITY DEPARTMENTS AND ALIGNING THAT WORK TO THE MISSION OF THE ORGANIZATION IS HOW WE ENSURE THAT PARTNER ORGANIZATIONS ARE MAKING THE GREATEST IMPACT TOWARDS SAN ANTONIO'S COMMUNITY VISION. 
          THIS THEN REQUIRES OUR PARTNER ORGANIZATIONS TO LEAN ON SA 2020 AND OUR UNIQUE BIRD'S EYE VIEW FROM TRACKING TRANSPARENTLY THOSE 62 COMMUNITY INDICATORS. 
          AND ALSO COMPLIMENTING THAT VIEW OR UNDERSTANDING OF SAN ANTONIO THROUGH THE KNOWLEDGE WE HOLD OF THE LANDSCAPE OF WORK THAT'S HAPPENING ACROSS OUR MULTI-SECTOR PARTNER ORGANIZATIONS. 
          WE USE, RIGHT? THE IDEA THAT WE'VE TRANSPARENTLY REPORTED ON OUR COMMUNITY PROGRESS AND CONTINUE TO REPORT, AND ALSO OUR PARTNERSHIP WORK TO ALSO ENGAGE AND ACTIVATE THE COMMUNITY AT LARGE. 
          OUR JOB IS JUST TO BRING MORE INDIVIDUALS AND ORGANIZATIONS INTO THE FOLD, REDUCING BARRIERS TO PUBLIC PARTICIPATION IN AN EFFORT TO REACH SAN ANTONIO'S SHARED COMMUNITY VISION. 
          SA 2020, FOR EXAMPLE, LAUNCHED THE BOARD GAME LAST YEAR. 
          IT WAS A NONPROFIT BOARD LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT AND MATCHING PROGRAM, WHICH TRAINED 132 PEOPLE AND MATCHED THEM TO 47 NONPROFIT PARTNERS. 
          PARTICIPANTS IN THAT PROGRAM LARGELY WERE PEOPLE OF COLOR, INCLUDING 45% WOMEN OF COLOR, AND OVERWHELMINGLY 40 OR YOUNGER. 
          THIS IS AFTER A SURVEY OF OUR NONPROFIT PARTNERS THAT SHOWED THE VAST MAJORITY OF THEIR BOARD MEMBERS WERE OVER THE AGE OF 50, UH, AND MEN AND WHITE, AND LIVING OUTSIDE OF SAN ANTONIO. 
          CITY LIMITS CIVIC ENGAGEMENT IS THE FOUNDATION OF THE ORIGINAL VISIONING PROCESS. 
          UH, IT'S ALSO THE PROGRESS WE'VE MADE AS A CITY TOGETHER IN THE LAST DECADE. 
          AGAIN, TAKING RESPONSIBILITY FOR OUR COLLECTIVE WELLBEING. 
          AND IT'S WORKING. 
          THE MOMENTUM, UH, HAS NEVER BEEN STRONGER FOR THE SAN ANTONIO COMMUNITY VISION. 
          AND IN FACT, WHAT IT ALLOWS US THEN TO DO BY TRANSPARENTLY REPORTING AND WORKING WITH 160 MULTI-SECTOR PARTNERS AND ENGAGING IN ACTIVATING THE COMMUNITY IS TO SHARE A MORE COMPLETE STORY OF SAN ANTONIO. 
          IT IS THE STORY OF ONE OF THE FASTEST GROWING CITIES IN THE UNITED STATES, THE SECOND IN MILLENNIAL GROWTH, AND OF COURSE, THE BEST SOFTWARE OR THE BEST CITY FOR SOFTWARE ENGINEERS. 
          WHILE AT THE SAME TIME, ONE IN THREE PEOPLE ARE BURDENED BY HOUSING COSTS, ONE IN FIVE LIVE IN POVERTY, 25 ONLY 34% OF OUR COMMUNITY HAS AN ASSOCIATE'S DEGREE, OR HIRINGS EXIST AT THE EXACT SAME TIME IN OUR COMMUNITY. 
          AND NONE OF THE THINGS THAT ARE GOOD ON THAT BAR, ON THAT MAP HAPPENED BY HAPPENSTANCE. 
          IT WAS MULTI-SECTOR, COLLABORATIVE TARGETED INTERVENTIONS ON BEING THE CITY THAT TARGETS COLLEGE EDUCATED MILLENNIAL GROWTH. 
          AS WE FOUND WE WERE PRODUCING ONLY ONE IN 10 IT PEOPLE. 
          FOR OUR JOB SECTOR, OF COURSE, WE HAVE TO RECRUIT YES. 
          AND IS THE APPROACH THAT WE ASK PEOPLE TO TAKE. 
          WE CAN BOTH DO BE THE FASTEST GROWING CITY AND FIGURE OUT HOW TO MAKE HOUSING BURDEN NOT HAPPEN ANYMORE. 
          WE KNOW VERY SPECIFICALLY THAT PROGRESS IS POSSIBLE, PARTICULARLY IF WE HIGHLIGHT CHALLENGES AND CELEBRATE 
          [00:20:01]
OUR INCREMENTAL PROGRESS. 
          THIS BRINGS US BACK THEN TO OUR, THE IMPORTANCE OF PLANNING FOR THE NEXT DECADE. 
          WE, KNOWING THAT WE ARE ONE OF THE ONLY CITIES IN THE COUNTRY, THE ONLY LARGE CITIES IN THE COUNTRY THAT IS DOING THIS WORK. 
          IN THIS WAY, OF COURSE, WE WILL KEEP THE MOMENTUM GOING FOR THE NEXT ONE YEAR. 
          WE ARE COMMITTED TO INCREASING THE NUMBER OF FOLKS IN SAN ANTONIO WHO ARE REPRESENTATIVE OF THE CITY BY RACE, GENDER, AGE, CITY COUNCIL, DISTRICT, AND GEOGRAPHY MORE BROADLY, WHO ARE REAFFIRMING AND STRENGTHENING THE COMMUNITY VISION. 
          WE WILL DO WHAT WE'VE DONE TODAY IN THIS CONVERSATION IN ELEVATING THE IMPORTANCE OF A SHARED VISION, NOT JUST FOR WHAT IT SAYS, BUT FOR WHAT IT PUSHES US TO PRIORITIZE AND ACCOMPLISH TOGETHER, AND ALSO THE, AND ALSO THE SIGNIFICANCE OF AN INDEPENDENT NONPROFIT THAT IS DRIVING PROGRESS IN THIS WAY. 
          AND FINALLY, WE WANT TO DOCUMENT THIS YEAR LONG PROCESS AND UPHOLD IT AS A BEST PRACTICE FOR HOW WE ARE ACTIVELY REMOVING THE BARRIERS TO PUBLIC PARTICIPATION SO THAT WE CAN, IN FACT, INCREASE THE NUMBER OF FOLKS WHO ARE REAFFIRMING AND STRENGTHENING SAN ANTONIO'S COMMUNITY VISION. 
          ONE OF THESE BEST PRACTICES IN FACTS IS MOVING FOLKS ALONG A CONTINUUM OF PUBLIC PARTICIPATION THAT BEGINS WITH RAISING AWARENESS OF SAN ANTONIO'S COMMUNITY VISION, RAISING AWARENESS OF THE INDEPENDENT NONPROFIT THAT'S DRIVING PROGRESS. 
          MUCH LIKE THIS PRESENTATION TODAY, IT MEANS CONSULTING AND ENGAGING THE COMMUNITY AT LARGE, DOING THINGS LIKE THE THREE QUESTION SURVEY TO RECEIVE INPUT INTO HOW WE CAN STRENGTHEN SPECIFIC COMMUNITY RESULTS, AND ALSO THE WAY IN WHICH WE ARE MEASURING PROGRESS AND HOW WE ARE MEASURING SPECIFIC INDICATORS. 
          IT ALSO INCLUDES CO-CREATING AND ACTIVATING, IDENTIFYING WHAT ARE THE STRATEGIES BY WHICH WE CAN DRIVE PROGRESS FOR THE NEXT DECADE TOWARDS THE REAFFIRMED AND STRENGTHENED VISION. 
          AND HOW CAN WE TOGETHER WITH COMMUNITY, PRIORITIZE THOSE STRATEGIES. 
          ANOTHER BEST PRACTICE IS TRUSTED RELATIONSHIPS. 
          SA 2020 IN THIS YEAR LONG ENGAGEMENT PROCESS IS LEANING ON THE RELATIONSHIPS WE HOLD IN THE COMMUNITY AT LARGE AS WELL AS OUR PARTNERSHIPS. 
          SO WE'RE WORKING VERY SPECIFICALLY WITH 70 SA 2020 AMBASSADORS, AS WELL AS OUR MORE THAN 160 PARTNER ORGANIZATIONS. 
          AND ASKING THEM BASED ON FURTHER THEIR STRENGTH OF NETWORKS AND FOLKS IN THE COMMUNITY TO HELP US BRING MORE FOLKS INTO THE FOLD INTO THIS PROCESS. 
          ACROSS THE BOARD, LIKE I SAID, DOCUMENTING ALL OF THESE THINGS AS BEST PRACTICES, WHICH INCLUDES THE DASHBOARD THAT WE SHARED AT THE START OF THIS ORGANIZATION THAT IS TRANSPARENTLY REPORTING ON WHO IS ENGAGING WITH THIS AND WHAT ARE THEY SAYING. 
          THERE'S A COMMITMENT FROM OUR AMBASSADORS AND OUR PARTNER ORGANIZATIONS THEN THAT WE WOULD REACH 162,850 PEOPLE THIS YEAR IN REAFFIRMING AND STRENGTHENING SAN ANTONIO'S COMMUNITY VISION. 
          UM, THEY, OUR PARTNERS HAVE SAID, WE WILL HELP YOU GET IN FRONT OF PEOPLE WHO MAY HAVE NOT PARTICIPATED 10 YEARS AGO, BUT WHO DEFINITELY UNDERSTAND THAT THE IMPORTANCE OF HEARING A COMMUNITY'S VOICE ALLOWS US TO ALIGN AND PRIORITIZE BECAUSE WE ARE A SEPARATE NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATION, WE ARE ALSO HELD ACCOUNTABLE TO BEING, ENSURING THE HEALTH AND SUSTAINABILITY OF OUR ORGANIZATION. 
          WHAT YOU'RE SEEING IN FRONT OF YOU IS ACTUALLY AN OVERARCHING VIEW OF OUR FUNDING STREAMS FROM 2010 TO TODAY TO 2019 WHEN OUR LAST FISCAL YEAR ENDED. 
          YOU'LL SEE ON THERE THE CITY OF SAN ANTONIO AT 24%, UM, OVER THE COURSE OF THE LAST NINE YEARS. 
          WHAT WE'RE TELLING YOU HERE IS, UM, THE CITY IS A PARTNER IN MULTIPLE WAYS. 
          ONE, AS A FUNDER, UM, THEY FUND US. 
          WE PROVIDE BACK TO THE CITY A VERY CONTRACTUAL SPACE OF DELIVERING THE, UM, INDIVIDUAL REPORTS THAT YOU'RE SEEING IN FRONT OF YOU. 
          CITY COUNCIL PROFILES AS YOU SEE THEM. 
          UH, THEY ARE ALSO A DATA PARTNER. 
          WE'VE MENTIONED EIGHT OF OUR 33 DATA SOURCES ARE DEPARTMENTS FROM THE CITY OF SAN ANTONIO. 
          UH, AND THEN OF COURSE, ALIGNING THEIR WORK AND AN EFFORT TO HELP MOVE THE NEEDLE ON SAN ANTONIO'S COMMUNITY VISION. 
          AND ALSO THE MOMENTUM FOR SAN ANTONIO'S, UH, S A 2020 HAS NEVER BEEN STRONGER IN THAT WE CONTINUE TO INCREASE THE AMOUNT OF INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE ALSO ENGAGING IN FUNDING OUR WORK. 
          THE QUESTION THAT WE ASK THEN IS, HOW DO YOU MAKE THE GREATEST IMPACT? WE ASK THIS LITERALLY AT EVERY SINGLE PRESENTATION WE GIVE. 
          UM, AND WE KNOW THAT WE ASK THAT QUESTION BECAUSE WE AS INDIVIDUALS MAKE UP THE SYSTEMS WE SEEK TO CHANGE. 
          AND YOU AS POLICY MAKERS, UH, INFORM EVERY POLICY AND BUDGET DOLLAR, UH, THAT COULD MEET THE NEEDS OF SAN ANTONIO, THAT COULD HELP THE CITY OF SAN ANTONIO DELIVER QUALITY CITY SERVICES TOWARD A VISION OF PROSPERITY THAT HAS ALREADY BEEN ARTICULATED BY THE COMMUNITY AT LARGE. 
          YOU COULD UTILIZES A 2020S 
          [00:25:01]
UNIQUE BIRD'S EYE VIEW TO IDENTIFY CONTENT EXPERTS IN THE AREAS THAT YOU BELIEVE THAT NEED MORE SHORING UP OR MAYBE IT'S PARTNER. 
          UM, THE 2019 IMPACT REPORT HAS A LITERAL COMPLETE LIST OF ALL CALL TO ACTION ITEMS FOR ELECTED OFFICIALS. 
          WE ALSO ASK THAT YOU, UM, HELP US IN ACTIVATING YOUR OWN COMMUNITIES. 
          UH, IN FACT, WE JUST DELIVERED 100 OF THE PRINTED SURVEYS TO COUNCILMAN PERRY'S OFFICE BECAUSE HE HAS A MOMENT OF PEOPLE COMING TO IN MARCH 16TH, UH, BRINGING PEOPLE TOGETHER AND ASKING THEM TO FILL OUT THE SURVEY AND ALSO RESPOND. 
          UM, SO HOW ARE YOU UTILIZING THE COMMUNITY VISION AND HELPING PEOPLE WITHIN YOUR OWN, UH, COUNCIL DISTRICTS UNDERSTAND HOW THEY ARE PART OF A LARGER COMMUNITY? UH, WE WILL BE LEAVING HERE TODAY, UH, AND HEADING OVER TO ONE OF OUR FIRST EVENTS, UH, MEETUPS THIS YEAR ACTUALLY OVER AT DORT DISTILLERY IN COUNCIL DISTRICT FIVE. 
          WE'LL BE LOOKING AT CIVIC ENGAGEMENT, ASKING OUR, THE PEOPLE WHO ARE THERE TO HELP US UNDERSTAND HOW WE MIGHT BE TRACKING CIVIC ENGAGEMENT DIFFERENTLY. 
          IS THE RESULT STILL THE RESULT THAT WE WANNA SEE? UM, AND WE WILL BE DOING SOMETHING EVERY SINGLE MONTH AS A MATTER OF FACT, AND ARE EVEN AT THIS POINT SAYING, HEY, WHERE ARE YOU? WHERE ARE YOU DOING THINGS THAT WE MIGHT BE ABLE TO COME OUT AND ENGAGE YOUR OWN, THE PEOPLE WHO SHOW UP TO YOUR MEETINGS? UM, THAT IS AN OVERARCHING VIEW OF THE WORK THAT SA 2020 DOES TO DRIVE PROGRESS TOWARDS SAN ANTONIO'S COMMUNITY VISION. 
          AND WE CERTAINLY WELCOME ALL THE QUESTIONS. 
           GREAT. 
          THANK YOU VERY MUCH, UH, FOR THE PRESENTATION. 
          UH, MOLLY AND KIERAN, THERE'S A LOT IN THERE THAT YOU GOT THROUGH VERY QUICKLY. 
          SO I, I LOOK FORWARD TO THE CONVERSATION AROUND THE DAIS. 
          UM, I DO WANT TO JUST START, UH, BY SAYING THAT, UM, I'M GLAD YOU'RE HERE. 
          WE NEED TO HAVE YOU HERE MORE OFTEN TO CHECK IN WITH HOW WE ARE DOING IN THE COMMUNITY'S VISION. 
          I'VE TALKED A LOT ABOUT HOW MY, UM, MY JOURNEY INTO THIS BUILDING WAS IN PART, UH, THROUGH SA 2020 AS A FACILITATOR AND A PARTICIPANT AS A CITIZEN, ENGAGED IN A COUPLE OF THE TABLES THERE, PARTICULARLY ON CIVIC ENGAGEMENT, VOTER TURNOUT, ARTS AND CULTURE, THAT SORT OF THING. 
          UM, AND SO IT, IT IS, UH, REASSURING TO ME THAT THE MOVES THAT WE'VE MADE IN HERE OVER THE LAST 10 YEARS HAVE BEEN SORT OF ITERATIVE. 
          MM-HMM. 
          , UH, FROM THE SA 2020 VISIONING PROCESS TO THE ESTABLISHMENT OF AN ORGANIZATION THAT CAN KEEP US ACCOUNTABLE AND DRIVE CIVIC PARTICIPATION IN THAT. 
          UH, PLUS THE MASTER PLANNING PROCESS, SA 2020 THAT REALLY ACTUALIZED THIS INTO A OVERALL DESIGN OF OUR CITY FROM LAND USE TO SUSTAINABILITY AND MOBILITY. 
          UM, AND THEN OF COURSE TO SOME OF THE MORE TACTICAL THINGS THAT WE'RE DOING IN HOUSING, UH, ULTIMATELY TRANSPORTATION, UH, CLIMATE PLANNING AND THAT SORT OF THING. 
          UH, A COUPLE OF, UH, OF ITEMS POPPED OUT TO ME THAT I'D LIKE FOR YOU TO, UH, JUST SPEAK TO A LITTLE BIT MORE IN THE REPORT. 
          OKAY. 
          UM, ONE OF THEM WAS, UM, OBVIOUSLY MOBILITY. 
          BUT BEFORE I GET TO THAT, UM, ON PAGE 36, I THINK IT'S PAGE 36, I HAVE A DIGITAL VERSION. 
          IT'S ON, UM, IT'S IN THE CRIME SECTION. 
          YEAH. 
          ON REDUCING RECIDIVISM 36 OR 33, IT MIGHT BE. 
          UM, IT NOTED THERE THAT WE HAD A GOAL OF 15, LET GET TO IT MYSELF, IF, DO YOU MEAN THAT WOULD BE HELPFUL? YEAH. 
          NO. 
          REDUCING RECIDIVISM RATES MM-HMM. 
          . 
          UM, AND OUR GOAL WAS TO REDUCE THE RECIDIVISM RECIDIVISM RATE BY 50% IN 2020. 
          THAT'S RIGHT. 
          UH, THE 2016 UPDATE, I GUESS, WHICH IS THE, THE LATEST AVAILABLE DATA THAT'S RIGHT. 
          SHOWS THAT WE'VE ACTUALLY GONE IN THE WRONG DIRECTION MM-HMM. 
           SIGNIFICANTLY. 
          RIGHT. 
          WE SHOULD BE AROUND 16%. 
          UH, WE WANT, WE ARE NOW AT 34%. 
          SO WE'VE TICKED UP, CAN YOU SPEAK TO THAT? UH, AND, AND MAYBE WHAT THAT DATA IS TELLING US ON WHAT OUR SHOULD, WHAT OUR CONVERSATIONS SHOULD BE HERE FROM A POLICY PERSPECTIVE. 
          YEAH. 
          THIS IS A PERFECT OPPORTUNITY, RIGHT? TO SAY, IF WE JUST LOOKED AT THIS AND THEN CLOSED THE BOOK AND SAID, I GUESS OUR RECIDIVISM RATE IS GOING IN THE WRONG DIRECTION. 
          WE NEED TO FIGURE THAT OUT. 
          THIS IS HOW WE CAN START LOOKING AT SORT OF HOW EVERYTHING IS INTERRELATED. 
          SO WE JUST GOT THROUGH TELLING YOU ONE OF OUR BIGGEST CHALLENGES COMPLEX COMMUNITY CHALLENGES IN, IN OUR COMMUNITY IS EVERYTHING BEYOND HIGH SCHOOL. 
          UM, AND WE KNOW THAT WHEN, UH, THE REASON BEHIND REDUCING RECIDIVISM RATE WAS TO GET A PERSON OUT OF, UM, THE SYSTEM, WE ALSO KNOW THAT THE CHALLENGES THAT COME WITH BEING IN THE SYSTEM IN THE FIRST PLACE ARE ATTACHED TO HOUSING. 
          THEY'RE ATTACHED TO JOBS, THEY'RE ATTACHED TO DRIVER'S LICENSES, RIGHT? SO WE'VE AUTOMATICALLY, 
          [00:30:01]
IF WE WERE SERIOUS ABOUT TARGETED INTERVENTIONS, UM, WE CAN LOOK AT AN ENTIRE POPULATION OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN INSIDE A SYSTEM, BRING THEM OUT, AND THEN HELP THEM BY GETTING THEM CERTIFICATES, WHICH WE HAVE SEEN GO BACKWARDS IN OUR COMMUNITY. 
          UM, WE HAVE SEEN HOUSING CHALLENGES BECAUSE OF JOBS AND UNDEREMPLOYMENT, RIGHT? SO IT'S AN ENTIRE POPULATION OF HUMANS, ENTIRE POPULATION THAT IF WE DID A TARGETED INTERVENTION APPROACH, UM, AND SPENT, UH, SHIFTED OUR RESOURCES AND PROGRAMS TO MEET THAT COMMUNITY NEED, IT WOULD ALSO EFF, IN EFFECT, HELP THE REST OF THE COMMUNITY, RIGHT? BY INCREASING THE AMOUNT OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE CERTIFICATES IN ORDER TO FILL THE JOBS THAT WE KEEP RECRUITING FOR. 
          WELL, I'D LIKE US TO, TO THINK ABOUT THAT A LITTLE BIT MORE, BECAUSE THIS IS ALSO RELATED TO OUR ANTI TRUANCY EFFORTS AT THE CITY. 
          AND SO A COUPLE YEARS AGO, A FORMER COUNCIL MEMBER AND TWO FORMER COUNCIL MEMBERS BROUGHT UP IN THEIR COMMITTEE, UH, WHAT IT WOULD LOOK LIKE IF WE STARTED AN EFFORT TOWARDS, UH, SECOND CHANCE. 
          MM-HMM. 
          , YOU KNOW, THAT WAS HIGHLY CONTROVERSIAL, DIDN'T GO VERY FAR. 
          BUT AT THIS DATA SHOWS US THAT WE NEED TO HEART START HAVING THOSE DIFFICULT CONVERSATIONS ABOUT HOW DO WE GET PEOPLE INTO THE WORKFORCE THAT HAVE PREVIOUSLY SERVED THEIR TIME, UH, AND MADE, UH, AND MADE THEMSELVES, UH, UH, UH, RIGHT AND AVAILABLE TO PARTICIPATE AGAIN. 
          UM, SO THAT'S SOMETHING I'D LIKE FOR US TO, TO THINK ABOUT HOW WE APPROACH. 
          YEAH. 
          I WAS, I WOULD SAY TO YOU, RIGHT, THERE'S AN OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE A CONVERSATION COMMU COMMUNITY-WIDE WHEN YOU SEE THAT THERE IS, I'M, I'M GONNA USE OPPOSITION IN AIR QUOTES. 
          'CAUSE I'M LIKE, RIGHT WHEN SOMEBODY SAYS, OH, I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S THE ROUTE TO GO. 
          IT'S POINTING BACK TO WHAT THE COMMUNITY SAID THAT IT WANTED, RIGHT? AND SHOWING THIS IS A POTENTIAL INTERVENTION IN REDUCING RECIDIVISM WHILE ALSO INCREASING, RIGHT? YEAH. 
          EVERYTHING BEYOND HIGH SCHOOL. 
          AND SO OUR, THAT WHAT YOU JUST SAID IS OUR ANSWER TO THE VERY VOCAL, UH, CON CONTROVERSY THAT SOMETIMES THESE EFFORTS STIR UP. 
          YEAH. 
          THE PUBLIC WANTS US TO DO THESE THINGS AND TACKLE THESE EXTRAORDINARY CHALLENGES, AND THESE ARE THE DATA THAT SHOW US WHY IT'S IMPORTANT. 
          SO, ON THAT NOTE, COULD YOU TALK A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT MOBILITY AND TRANSPORTATION AND WHAT THE DATA IS CURRENTLY TELLING YOU? YEAH. 
          THE, I, THE, YOU SAW THE GRAPH, UH, IT IS MOBILITY HAS BEEN THE CHALLENGE, UH, IN OUR COMMUNITY FOR LONGER THAN WE'VE BEEN TRACKING IT. 
          AND ALSO WE CAN SHOW YOU THROUGH THE TRACKING, UM, HOW MOBILITY HAS NOT SHIFTED. 
          UM, ONE OF THE CHALLENGES THAT I THINK WE HAVE IN MOBILITY IS AS WE CONTINUE TO GROW, UM, WE ARE SPREADING OUT, RIGHT? WE ALSO KNOW THAT MOBILITY IS THE SECOND TO HIGHEST COST. 
          TRANSPORTATION IS THE SECOND HIGHEST COST BEYOND, UH, HOUSING. 
          UH, THE AVERAGE SAN ANTONIO IS SPENDING ABOUT $12,000 A YEAR ON TRANSPORTATION. 
          UH, IT'S CAR MAINTENANCE. 
          IT'S GAS, IT'S RIGHT. 
          DOING THE THINGS THAT YOU NEED TO FOR YOUR CAR. 
          UM, WE'RE THE SA TOMORROW PLAN, PARTICULARLY AS IT RELATES TO TRANSPORTATION, GAVE A VERY SPECIFIC IDEA AROUND HOW INFRASTRUCTURE COULD HELP ALLEVIATE THAT. 
          THERE'S BEEN CONVERSATIONS WITH CONNECT SA NOW THINKING ABOUT MULTIMODAL TRANSPORTATION. 
          UM, AND THEN WHAT WE'RE ALSO SEEING AND I THINK IS VERY IMPORTANT. 
          IT'S NOT JUST THAT THE DATA IS TELLING US THAT IT'S NOT GOING IN THE DIRECTION THAT WE WANT TO, RIGHT? RIGHT NOW WE'RE IN THE MIDDLE OF A COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT PROCESS. 
          AND A THIRD OF THE RESPONSES TO THE SURVEY ARE SAYING, YEAH, IT'S MOBILITY . 
          THAT'S THE BIGGEST CHALLENGE RIGHT NOW. 
          AND WHEN YOU DISAGGREGATE THAT, EVEN WHEN YOU DRILL DOWN INTO THAT DATA, WHEN WE SAY MOBILITY, WE CAN SHOW YOU THAT OUT OF THAT, A QUARTER OF THOSE RESPONSES ARE PUBLIC TRANSIT TRAFFIC, UM, OR JUST TRANSPORTATION GENERALLY. 
          THAT'S COMING UP TO THE TOP. 
          UM, SO WHEN THIS ALL STARTED, I REMEMBER, UM, THE PEOPLE WERE TRYING TO MAKE, UH, HEADS OR TAILS OF WHAT THIS WAS, WHAT WHAT WAS HAPPENING HERE. 
          AND A LOT OF PEOPLE SUBSCRIBE, ASCRIBED THE COMMUNITY VISIONING PROCESS TO, UH, MAYOR CASTRO'S VISION. 
          AND I REMEMBER I TALKED TO 'EM ABOUT THAT, AND THEY, AND, AND WE REFLECTED ON THE FACT THAT STRATEGICALLY, THIS CITY AND THIS ORGANIZATION MADE A VERY SMART CHOICE IN MAKING IT APART FROM THE CITY. 
          IT'S A ORGANIZATION UNTO ITSELF THAT ANSWERS TO THE PUBLIC THAT HOLDS US ACCOUNTABLE. 
          IT SHOULD TAKE THE GUESSWORK OUT OF POLICY PRIORITIES UP HERE IN THE DAIS. 
          UH, I THINK FOR, FOR THE MOST PART, AS WE USE SA 2020 AS THE TOUCHSTONE FOR POLICYMAKING, WE'VE BEEN ON TRACK. 
          WHERE WE GET OFF TRACK IS WHERE WHAT WE'RE DOING DOESN'T MATCH WITH THE COMMUNITY'S VISION. 
          SO IN ADDITION TO MAKING THAT ONE GREAT STRATEGIC, UH, CHOICE, UH, TO SEPARATE THIS ORGANIZATION, THE COMMUNITY, I THINK SOMETIMES WE, UH, FORGET THAT THIS IS, AND, AND, AND MAYOR CASTRO HIMSELF SAID THAT THIS IS NOT HIS VISION. 
          IT'S NOT ONE PERSON'S VISION. 
          IT'S NOT THE 
          [00:35:01]
CITY GOVERNMENT'S VISION. 
          THIS IS THE COMMUNITY'S VISION. 
          AND SO IT'S EXTREMELY IMPORTANT FOR US TO REMIND OURSELVES, I THINK AS WE LOOK AT SA 2020, THE, THE, THE GOOD AND THE BAD OF WHAT, UH, THE REPORT IS TELLING US THAT WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO ACHIEVE HERE IS WHAT PEOPLE OUTSIDE THAT WE ANSWER TO WANT US TO ACHIEVE. 
          UH, AND SO I'M, I'M GRATEFUL THAT YOU'RE HERE. 
          SORRY IT'S TAKEN SO LONG. 
          I HOPE YOU COME BACK SOON. 
          UM, BUT I'M ALSO VERY GRATEFUL THAT, UH, BY AND LARGE, IT SEEMS THAT THIS CITY IS MOVING IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION IN TERMS OF WHAT THE COMMUNITY WANTS TO SAY, WANTS TO SEE. 
          SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THE PRESENTATION. 
          UM, COUNCIL MEMBER SANDOVAL, THANK YOU, MAYOR. 
          THANK YOU, MOLLY. 
          THANK YOU, KIERAN, FOR YOUR PRESENTATION AND ALL OF YOUR HARD WORK, YOUR MOTIVATION, YOUR PASSION, AND TO, AND TO YOUR TEAM, AND TO WHOEVER MAKES THESE BEAUTIFUL PUBLICATIONS THERE, UH, VERY ENGAGING. 
          THANK YOU. 
          UM, I, UH, I ALSO THINK THAT THESE ARE, UM, AS YOU SAID, THESE INDICATORS OF THE COMMUNITY'S VISION. 
          AND, UH, YOU RECALL WHEN I FIRST, UH, WAS ABLE TO CHAIR THE COMMUNITY HEALTH INEQUITY COMMITTEE, I FELT IT WAS IMPORTANT TO HEAR FROM YOU BECAUSE, UM, I THINK THEY'RE ALSO INDICATORS OF THE COMMUNITY'S HEALTH, UH, AS A WHOLE. 
          SO I FELT IT WAS VERY, UH, IMPORTANT TO HEAR HOW WE'RE DOING. 
          UM, AND I, SITTING HERE LISTENING TO YOU GIVE, GIVE THE TALK, IT'S, WE'RE ASKING YOU TO DO A LOT IN ABOUT 45 MINUTES OF, OF DISCUSSION, RIGHT? IT'S THE WHOLE, UM, RESIDENT, A TRUE WHATEVER FOR YOUR ORGANIZATION. 
          AND WE'RE LIKE, OH, JUST WRAP IT UP IN, IN 45 MINUTES. 
          AND WE'RE TALKING ABOUT HOW MANY INDICATORS ARE THERE, 62 INDICATORS. 
          UM, AND I'M GLAD TO HEAR ABOUT WHAT YOU'RE DOING. 
          IT SOUNDS LIKE YOUR NEXT STEPS ARE, I'LL GO BACK, I'LL GO BACK TO THIS INDICATOR TALK, BUT IF I HAD TO SYNTHESIZE IT IN TWO OR THREE SENTENCES, WHAT'S GONNA HAPPEN IN 2020 WITH SA 2020? WHAT WOULD YOU SAY THAT IS? YEAH. 
          WE'VE BEEN WORKING WITH A TEAM OF FOLKS, UM, MOLLY MENTIONED EARLIER, OVER A HUNDRED FOLKS THAT ARE VOLUNTEERING WITH US IN OUR NETWORK. 
          AND WE ALSO TURNED THIS QUESTION BACK OVER, UH, WHAT COMES TO MIND WHEN YOU THINK OF SA 2020 AS WE STARTED PREPARING FOR AND PLANNING FOR THIS YEAR AND BEYOND? AND WHAT WE'RE HEARING OVER AND OVER AGAIN IS THAT AS A BRAND, SA 2020 IS STRONG, THERE'S A RECOGNITION OF THE BRAND IN SAN ANTONIO AT LARGE, WHICH IS IMPORTANT TO ELEVATING THE SIGNIFICANCE OF AN INDEPENDENT NONPROFIT. 
          UM, AND ALSO THAT IT'S CONVENIENT. 
          THAT 2020 IS ALSO A CLEAR VISION FOR THE FUTURE. 
          UM, SO AFTER THIS YEAR, A 2020 WILL CONTINUE DRIVING PROGRESS TOWARDS SAN ANTONIO'S COMMUNITY VISION, AND WE'LL BE SPENDING THIS CURRENT YEAR RE-ENGAGING AND REAFFIRMING THE COMMUNITY ON THE VISION AND ELEVATING AWARENESS OF THE VISION AS WELL AS THE NON-PROFIT . 
          SO AFTER YOU'VE DONE THE RE-ENGAGEMENT, IS THE IDEA TO REVISIT THE TARGETS OR THE GOALS AT ALL? THAT'S THE PROCESS OF WHAT WE'RE DOING RIGHT NOW, RIGHT? SO WE ARE CURRENTLY REAFFIRMING AND STRENGTHENING THE COMMUNITY VISION, LOOKING AT SORT OF, ARE THESE THE RIGHT INDICATORS THAT WE SHOULD BE TRACKING? UM, ARE THESE THE RIGHT RESULT? ARE THESE THE SAME RESULTS THAT WE STILL WANT TO SEE? SHOULD WE BE LOOKING AT SOMETHING DIFFERENT? SO TODAY, FOR EXAMPLE, WHEN WE GO TO THE CIVIC ENGAGEMENT MEETUP, AFTER THIS PRESENTATION, WE HAVE THE COMMUNITY VISION COMMUNITY RESULT FOR CIVIC ENGAGEMENT ON BOARDS. 
          WE'RE ASKING PEOPLE TO SORT OF SAY, YES, NO, ARE THERE DIFFERENT WORDS THAT WE WANT HERE? WHERE DO WE WANNA KEEP GOING FOR THE NEXT DECADE? THEN WE HAVE AN ENTIRE BOARD OF INDICATORS. 
          AND IT'S BASICALLY, HERE'S WHAT WE'RE TRACKING RIGHT NOW. 
          HERE ARE PROPOSED INDICATORS WE COULD POTENTIALLY TRACK. 
          UM, HERE ARE THINGS THAT WE KNOW ARE CURRENTLY MEASURED. 
          HERE ARE THINGS WE DON'T, THAT ARE NOT MEASURED AT ALL. 
          UM, AND SHOULD WE BE LOOKING INTO FIGURING OUT HOW TO MEASURE SOMETHING LIKE TRUST IN GOVERNMENT OR TRUST IN OUR NEIGHBORS? UM, AND ASKING THE COMMUNITY TO TELL US YES, NO, WHICH ONES? YEAH. 
          UM, AND THE INTENTIONALITY BEHIND THAT IS TO UTILIZE THE ENTIRE YEAR TO SORT OF SAY, ARE THESE THE RIGHT TARGETS? ARE THESE THE RIGHT INDICATORS? ARE THESE THE RIGHT RESULTS? OR DO WE WANNA SHIFT THAT LANGUAGE AND THEN BRING IT BACK TO THE COMMUNITY IN JANUARY OF 2021 AND SAY, THIS IS THE RESULT. 
          THESE ARE THE RESULTS AND INDICATORS YOU'VE PRIORITIZED OVER THE LAST YEAR TO TELL US THIS IS WHERE WE WANNA GO FOR THE NEXT DECADE. 
          SO THE, YOU KNOW, WHEN THE ORIGINAL GOALS OR TARGETS WERE, I GUESS, ADOPTED THAT WAS, UM, I'M LOOKING BACK AT YOUR CHART. 
          THAT WAS AN ACTION BY THIS, BY THIS COUNCIL, RIGHT? OR YOU DID ADOPT THEM AS A COUNCIL MM-HMM. 
          . 
          UM, BUT THIS, OR OUR PREDECESSORS DID, I'M SAYING IN MARCH OF 2011 MM-HMM. 
          , THE REPORT THAT CAME OUT WAS ALL DONE THROUGH THOSE PUBLIC MEETINGS. 
          MM-HMM. 
          , THAT REPORT WAS THEN BROUGHT TO COUNCIL AND YOU ADOPTED THEM. 
          SO WHAT DO YOU SEE THE, WHEN YOU, AFTER YOU'VE REPACKAGED THIS, IT'S 2021 IN JANUARY, WHAT DOES THAT LOOK LIKE? IS IT AN EVENT? IS IT A RIBBON CUTTING? WHAT, WHAT MAKES IT OFFICIAL? UH, THE COMMUNITY DOES . 
          [00:40:01]
I THINK PART OF US WALKING THROUGH THIS IDEA OF INFORMING, CO-CREATING, ENGAGING, UM, ACTIVATING THE COMMUNITY AT LARGE IS TO ALSO SAY THAT WE ARE COMMITTED TO BEING RESPONSIVE TO THE COMMUNITY THROUGHOUT THIS ENTIRE YEAR, WHICH INCLUDES WHAT SHOULD IT LOOK LIKE? I THINK IN 2010, UM, THE UNDERSTANDING IS THAT THE, THE STRATEGIC DECISION TO MAKE A 2020 AND INDEPENDENT NONPROFIT WAS ALSO INFORMED BY COMMUNITY, SAYING THAT THAT'S WHAT WE WANT THIS TO LOOK LIKE. 
          SO SIMILARLY, THIS Y ENTIRE YEAR, WE'LL USE THAT INPUT, UM, TO THEN WHAT WILL IT LOOK LIKE IN JANUARY, 2021, EVERY YEAR IN JANUARY, WE COME FORTH WITH OUR COMMUNITY IMPACT REPORT AND SAY, HERE'S THE REPORT FOR THE LAST YEAR OR WHEREVER THE MOST UPDATED DATA IS. 
          UM, AND THEN FROM THERE, WE SORT OF MOVE FORWARD IN THE YEAR. 
          SO IN JANUARY OF 2021, THE 2020 COMMUNITY IMPACT REPORT WILL BE RELEASED. 
          HERE'S WHAT HAPPENED OVER THE LAST DECADE OR SEVEN OR EIGHT YEARS, DEPENDING ON THE DATA, 'CAUSE DATA. 
          UM, AND THEN HERE'S WHAT WE HAVE NOW BEEN INFOR, THE COMMUNITY HELPED CO-CREATE WHERE WE GO NEXT AND HERE'S WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE. 
          UM, AND THAT WILL BE AS WE DO IN EVERY JANUARY SOME EVENT THAT IS, HERE'S THE INFORMATION, BUT THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE YEAR, WE ARE REAFFIRMING AND STRENGTHENING. 
          SO THERE'S, IT'S NOT GONNA BE LIKE, OH, WE WROTE IT AND THEN HERE'S WHAT WE'RE PRESENTING BACK TO YOU. 
          LITERALLY, THE COMMUNITY ALL YEAR LONG WILL BE TELLING US WHAT THE NEXT DECADE SHOULD LOOK LIKE. 
          ALRIGHT. 
          SO, UH, SO MAYOR, I'D, I'D LIKE TO, UH, SUGGEST THAT WHEN THE NEW, UH, DOCUMENT IS READY IN JANUARY, THAT WE ALSO BRING THAT BACK TO COUNCIL AND THAT WE HAVE SOME SORT OF RESOLUTION, UH, ENDORSING IT OR, OR ADOPTING IT. 
          AND I THINK IT WOULD BEHOOVE US TO STRATEGIZE HOW WE CAN, UH, TAKE SOME, SOME LEVEL OF OWNERSHIP ON THE GOALS AND MAKING SURE THAT WHAT WE DO HERE AT THE CITY IS SUPPORTIVE. 
          UM, AND YOU SPOKE TO THAT, UH, BRIEFLY, BUT WHEN I GO THROUGH AND I LOOK AT THE INDICATORS, I MEAN, THE SNAPSHOT THAT YOU SHOWED THAT, THAT TIMELINE OR THE, THE HORIZONTAL BAR, I THINK THAT LOOKS MORE POSITIVE THAN IT REALLY, THAN THE REALITY IS. 
          UM, I'M, I'M LOOKING THROUGH TAB BY TAB, AND AGAIN, THANK YOU FOR DOING THIS. 
          AND WE'RE TALKING ABOUT STAGNATION IN ALMOST IN A, IN A MAJORITY OF THESE INDICATORS. 
          MM-HMM. 
          , WE'VE GOT A FEW CHECK MARKS, BUT WE'VE GOT A LOT OF THE RED ARROWS POINTING DOWN. 
          THAT'S RIGHT. 
          IN, IN PARTICULAR, AND WE TALKED ABOUT THIS A WHILE BACK, WAS THE DOMESTIC VIOLENCE, HOW IT WAS, UM, I MEAN, THAT'S NOT TO SAY PEOPLE AREN'T DOING WORK, BUT WE JUST, WERE NOT MOVING THE NEEDLE ON IT. 
          YOU'RE RIGHT. 
          AND, UH, I WOULD SAY HOLD US MORE ACCOUNTABLE. 
          UM, I, I DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE YOU NEED TO DO, BUT, UM, HERE, HERE WE ARE 10 YEARS LATER. 
          YEAH. 
          AND, UH, AND FINALLY THANKS TO THE WORK OF, OF SOME OF OUR COUNCIL MEMBERS HERE, WE HAVE A STRATEGIC PLAN ON DOMESTIC VIOLENCE. 
          BUT I HONESTLY, THE ONLY THINGS, AND, AND STOP ME IF I'M WRONG, BUT MOST OF THE THINGS THAT HAVE THE GREEN CHECK MARKS HAVE TO HAVE INDUSTRIES BEHIND THEM, HAVE SOME SORT OF ECONOMIC DRIVER, AND MAYBE THAT'S WHAT MAKES THEM WORK. 
          BUT A LOT OF THE THINGS THAT ARE MORE, UH, SOCIAL, UH, MAYBE INCREASED PER CAPITA INCOME, CIVIC ENGAGEMENT, THOSE ARE THE ONES THAT SEEM TO BE TOUGHER TO, TO MOVE ON. 
          IS THAT, AM I NO, YOU'RE HITTING IT EXACTLY RIGHT. 
          THESE ARE NOT THINGS THAT WE'RE GONNA CHANGE IN A YEAR, WHICH IS PARTIALLY WHY WE KNOW THAT A DECADE LONG IS GOING TO BE MORE HELPFUL TO US. 
          RIGHT. 
          IF WE KEPT COMING UP WITH HOW DO WE CHECK MARK CIVIC ENGAGEMENT OR UNDEREMPLOYMENT IN A YEAR, IT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO DO. 
          WHAT WE ACTUALLY BELIEVE HAS BEEN OCCURRING OVER THE LAST 10 YEARS IS AS MORE AND MORE ORGANIZATIONS ARE UNDERSTANDING HOW THEY CAN HELP INFLUENCE COMMUNITY RESULTS, THEY'RE ENGAGING IN A MUCH MORE SPECIFIC INTERVENTION OF SOLID, LIKE, LET'S DO TARGETED INTERVENTIONS. 
          SO TO HEAR YOU SAY, YEAH, HOLD US MORE ACCOUNTABLE, I'M LIKE, I AGREE WHOLEHEARTEDLY. 
          YES. 
          UH, WE, THE LAST TIME WE CAME IN HERE, I THINK WAS 2014. 
          UM, SO YEAH, BY ALL MEANS, WE, I THE FACT THAT YOU WANNA ADOPT IT AND LIKE FIGURE OUT HOW YOU LINE UP I'M YES. 
          AGREED. 
           YES. 
          OKAY. 
          AND, AND FEEL FREE TO SAY THAT , IT'S YES. 
          AGREED TO YOU. 
          YES. 
          OKAY. 
          IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE? I'M NOT SAYING THAT YOU THINK , I MEAN, I'M SURE WE CAN COME UP. 
          I'LL, I'LL SLIP IT TO YOU SOMEHOW. 
          YES. 
          I'M LIKE, YES. 
          UM, THE, THE OTHER THING I WOULD SUGGEST IS AFTER THIS COMES BACK, WE ADOPT IT IS, UH, I IMAGINE IT'LL STILL BE BROKEN UP INTO SECTORS. 
          YEAH. 
          WE DON'T, I'M, I'M SORRY TO SAY TO YOU, I'M NOT SURE YET. 
          OKAY. 
          IT MAY NOT BE ONLY BECAUSE WE'RE WAITING ON MM-HMM. 
           COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT TO TELL US. 
          YES. 
          ALRIGHT. 
          AND I WISH I'D BROUGHT THIS UP BEFORE, BUT, YOU KNOW, WE DO HAVE A NUMBER OF COMMITTEES AND I THINK, UH, SOME OF THESE AREAS WOULD BE WELL HOUSED IN, UH, SEVERAL COMMITTEES, AND WE COULD SORT OF, LIKE WE'RE DOING WITH POVERTY, KIND OF TAKE OWNERSHIP AND SEE WHAT IS IT THAT THE CITY CAN DO TO ADVANCE ON, ON THESE ISSUES. 
          UH, IF THERE IS A WAY TO INTEGRATE THIS INTO OUR BUDGET PLANNING PROCESS, 
          [00:45:01]
I THINK THAT WOULD BE TREMENDOUS. 
          ALTHOUGH WE'RE, WE'RE KIND OF AT A, AT A FUNNY POINT, RIGHT? BECAUSE YOU'RE, YOU'RE DEVELOPING THE NEXT THING, THE, THE NEXT 10 YEAR ITERATION, AND WE'RE ABOUT TO GO INTO BUDGET PLANNING PROCESS THIS SUMMER. 
          SURE. 
          SO I'M, I'M OPEN TO YOUR SUGGESTIONS AND TO STAFF'S THOUGHTS ABOUT HOW WE CAN INTEGRATE THAT. 
          I DON'T KNOW, ERIC, IF YOU HAVE ANY COMMENTS. 
          WELL, I, I WOULD SAY THAT WE USE, CONTINUE TO UTILIZE WHAT'S ALREADY DOCUMENTED. 
          UM, AND, AND I WAS JUST GONNA ALSO ADD, UM, THAT YOUR SUGGESTION ABOUT THE, UM, BRINGING IT BACK TO COUNCIL IS ONE OF THE REASONS WHY IT'S ON THE B SESSION TODAY. 
          BECAUSE I SUSPECT THAT AS THE, AS THE COUNCIL DISCUSSES IT TODAY, THERE MIGHT BE MULTIPLE TOUCH POINTS IN DIFFERENT TYPES OF ARENAS, WHETHER THEY'RE PUBLIC MEETINGS OR COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT SESSIONS, WHERE THE COUNCIL WILL WANT TO BE ENGAGED SO THAT YOU'RE NOT SEEING A FINAL REPORT AT THE END OF THE YEAR OR IN JANUARY. 
          UM, BUT THAT, THAT THE COUNCIL HAS A BODY, HAS A CHANCE TO KIND OF DECIDE WHAT DOES IT LOOK LIKE. 
          I MEAN, YOU HEARD MOLLY'S PLAN FOR, FOR THE REST OF THE YEAR. 
          UM, WHAT ARE THE APPROPRIATE TOUCH POINTS FOR THE COUNCIL? UM, AND THAT'S ANOTHER KEY PART THAT I THINK IS, WOULD BE HELPFUL FOR MOLLY AND THE STAFF DURING THE, DURING THE TODAY'S CONVERSATION. 
          THANK YOU. 
          OKAY. 
          I'LL JUST, I'LL JUST WRAP UP BY SAYING IS, UH, FOR ME, I, I THINK AN INTEGRAL TOUCH AN A VERY IMPORTANT TOUCH POINT WOULD BE OUR BUDGET PROCESS. 
          UH, AND SECONDARILY, UH, WOULD BE WHEN YOU COME BACK WITH THE NEW, UH, DOCUMENT FOR US TO, UH, TAKE SOME SORT OF ACTION, ENDORSING IT, AND THEN AT THAT POINT, HAVE A STRATEGY FOR HOW WE MOVE FORWARD ON INTEGRATING IT INTO THE WORK OF, OF THE COUNCIL. 
          SO THOSE WOULD BE MY, MY RECOMMENDATIONS. 
          THANK YOU, MAYOR. 
          THANK YOU. 
          THANK YOU. 
          COUNCIL MEMBER SANDOVAL. 
          AND, AND LET ME JUST SAY, I WHOLEHEARTEDLY AGREE. 
          AND IF WE'RE DOING IT RIGHT, ALL OF THIS IS INTEGRATED WITHIN THE COUNCIL COMMITTEES AND OUR POLICY PRIORITIES UP HERE AND INCLUDING THE BUDGET PROCESS. 
          YEAH. 
          AND I CAN'T STRESS ENOUGH TO Y'ALL, THE WORK THAT WE'RE DOING WITH OUR 160 MULTI-SECTOR PARTNERS INCLUDES US FACILITATING THAT KIND OF CONVERSATION, DOING DATA ANALYSIS, UNDERSTANDING PROGRAM EVALUATION, WHETHER OR NOT IS THE THING THAT YOU'RE SAYING IS DOING THE THING, ACTUALLY DOING IT. 
          SO, UH, AND I, I'M SORRY TO INTERJECT. 
          WE'LL, WE'LL CONTINUE THE CONVERSATION, BUT, UH, WHAT WOULD BE HELPFUL, UH, IS IF, UH, WE CAN HAVE A CONVERSATION, YOU AND I, ABOUT COMMITTEE STRUCTURE, BECAUSE PRIOR TO NOW, WE HAVE TRIED TO TAKE THE SA 2020 VISIONING PROCESS AND METRICS AND FORCE THEM INTO THE STRUCTURE OF OUR COMMITTEES HERE. 
          BACK THEN IT WAS INFRASTRUCTURE AND GROWTH AND, AND, YOU KNOW, PLANNING AND, AND SO ON AND SO FORTH. 
          WE'VE, WE'VE CHANGED SOME OF THOSE A LITTLE BIT TO BE REFLECTIVE, BUT, UH, MORE ON, ON, UH, KIND OF FEEL AND INSTINCT. 
          IT'D BE MUCH MORE HELPFUL, I THINK, IF WE HAD A CONVERSATION ABOUT HOW THAT IS ACTUALLY INFORMING THE COMMITTEE STRUCTURES THAT WE HAVE HERE AT THE COUNCIL. 
          ALRIGHT. 
          UM, COUNCIL MEMBER, UH, GONZALEZ, UM, UH, THANK YOU. 
          THANK YOU COUNCILMAN FOR ALL THOSE QUESTIONS. 
          I THOUGHT YOU PHRASED THEM VERY NICELY, SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH. 
          AND ALSO, IT IS LIKE A LOVELY, REALLY EASY TO READ WITH THE TABS. 
          SO, UH, CONGRATULATIONS TO WHOMEVER DID PUT THIS, UM, TOGETHER. 
          IT'S REALLY NICE. 
          WE HAVE A GREAT BOARD MEMBER WHO ALSO IS DONATING HER TIME TO, AND PUT WELL, IT'S REALLY, IT'S REALLY GREAT. 
          SO, UM, CONGRATULATIONS. 
          I JUST, I WANNA FOCUS A COUPLE OF MY COMMENTS ON THE CIVIC ENGAGEMENT PIECE SINCE THAT'S WHAT WE'RE DOING TONIGHT, PLEASE. 
          UM, AND, UH, IT'LL BE AT DORTCH, WHICH IS IN DISTRICT FIVE. 
          SO EVERYBODY'S WELCOME. 
          UH, IT'S A GREAT, UM, SMALL BUSINESS IN THE DISTRICT AND I WANNA ENCOURAGE EVERYONE TO COME. 
          BUT ONE OF THE, I, YOU KNOW, NOW BEEN HERE SEVEN YEARS ON THE COUNCIL AND, UH, I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S PERHAPS JUST 'CAUSE I'M OLD NEWS, BUT I HAVE FOUND IT HARDER AND HARDER TO CONNECT WITH PEOPLE MM-HMM. 
           TO GET THE INFORMATION, TO GET PEOPLE TO PARTICIPATE. 
          AND I, I FOUND THAT THAT'S PERHAPS NOT JUST ME. 
          UM, I THINK THAT IN OTHER SECTORS, I FIND THAT I GET THAT SAME INFORMATION, THAT IT'S HARDER AND HARDER TO CONNECT WITH PEOPLE DESPITE THE MULTIPLE WAYS AND OPTIONS THAT WE HAVE NOW. 
          SO, I GUESS, AND I'VE ALSO HAD THE, THE LUXURY OF TRAVEL TO OTHER PARTS OF THE COUNTRY TO TALK ABOUT ISSUES. 
          UM, THE STUFF THAT WAS PARTICULARLY OF INTEREST TO ME REGARDING TRANSPORTATION AND, UH, UH, VISION ZERO AND A COUPLE OF OTHER, UM, YOU KNOW, SORT OF SPECIFIC THINGS THAT, UH, I WANNA BRING BACK TO OUR CITY MM-HMM. 
          . 
          UM, BUT I, I UNDERSTAND THAT PEOPLE ARE ALL OVER THE COUNTRY ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. 
          SO, AND WE HAD A WHOLE, UH, ALMOST A WHOLE DAY OF, UH, RELATED TO TRANSPORTATION, WELL, PARTICULARLY VISION ZERO, THE INITIATIVE TO ELIMINATE FATALITIES IN NEW NEW YORK. 
          UH, AND ONE OF THE WHOLE AFTERNOON WAS ABOUT HOW DO WE ENGAGE WITH PEOPLE AND TO TRY 
          [00:50:01]
TO GET THE MESSAGE OUT. 
          IT WAS ABOUT VISION ZERO AND ELIMINATING FATALITIES AND GIVING PEOPLE OPTIONS FOR ROAD, UM, ALTERNATIVES, UH, AND ALTERNATIVE TRANSPORTATION. 
          THAT WAS A WHOLE TOPIC OF IT, BUT IT SEEMS THAT PEOPLE ARE REALLY STRUGGLING WITH THIS. 
          AND SO, DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING ELSE, UM, THAT YOU CAN RECOMMEND TO CONNECT PEOPLE TO THE ISSUES? WE KNOW THAT THESE ISSUES MATTER TO PEOPLE, BUT WE'RE JUST NOT GETTING GOOD FEEDBACK. 
          YEAH. 
          FOR US, IF WE COULD ANSWER THIS QUESTION IN ONE WORD, IT WOULD BE TRUST. 
          UH, WHICH IS WHY WE WERE SPEAKING A LOT TO THAT EARLIER. 
          WE IDENTIFIED 70 PEOPLE THAT HAVE BEEN ACTIVELY INDIVIDUALS, COMMUNITY LEADERS, AND I'M, WHEN I SAY COMMUNITY LEADERS, WE'RE TALKING ABOUT FOLKS WHO ARE A AFFECTING CHANGE IN SOME WAY, UM, IN THEIR NEIGHBORHOOD OR IN THEIR COMMUNITY. 
          UM, IT MIGHT BE SOMEONE THAT YOU'VE NEVER HEARD OF BEFORE THAT WE WOULD SAY IS A COMMUNITY LEADER, RIGHT? 'CAUSE THEY'RE MAKING AN IMPACT IN THEIR COMMUNITY. 
          HERE IN SAN ANTONIO, WE BROUGHT 70 FOLKS TOGETHER, UM, THAT ARE COMMUNITY LEADERS AT LARGE. 
          THEY REPRESENT, UH, COMPANIES, NONPROFITS, THEY REPRESENT NEIGHBORHOODS. 
          THEY REPRESENT, UH, FOUNDATIONS ACROSS THE BOARD OF OUR PARTNERSHIPS, BUT ALSO JUST INDIVIDUALS. 
          UM, AND WE ALSO THEN TRAINED THEM ON, YOU HOLD TRUSTING RELATIONSHIPS IN THE COMMUNITY. 
          WHAT ARE THE QUESTIONS THAT YOU HAVE FOR US IN ORDER TO BECOME AN AMBASSADOR OF BOTH SA 2020, THE NONPROFIT, AS WELL AS SAN ANTONIO'S COMMUNITY VISION. 
          UM, SO THAT YOU CAN ELEVATE AWARENESS OF WHAT WE'RE, DO, WHAT THIS PROCESS, THE YEAR LONG PROCESS. 
          AND THEN WE'VE ALSO BEEN CONTINUALLY RETURNING TO THOSE CORE GROUP OF 70 PEOPLE AND SAYING, WHAT'S EMERGING IN THIS PROCESS? WHAT ARE THE KINDS OF QUESTIONS THAT ARE COMING FORWARD? OR WHAT ARE THE BARRIERS THAT YOU'RE SEEING? SO CONSISTENTLY ASKING WHY IS IMPORTANT TO US AS AN ORGANIZATION IN EVERY PROCESS THAT WE LEAD. 
          UM, AND WE FOUND, RIGHT THEN THE SURVEY NEEDED TO BE, OBVIOUSLY NOT ONLY DIGITAL, BUT IN, IN PERSON, NOT ONLY IN ENGLISH, BUT IN SPANISH AND IN SPANISH DIGITALLY, AS WELL AS IN PERSON. 
          UM, WE WORKED WITH SAN ANTONIO COLLEGE TO GIVE YOU AN EXAMPLE OF THEY HAVE AN A S L INTERPRETING SERVICE. 
          SO WE STARTED THINKING ABOUT WHAT ARE THE BARRIERS FOR THE DEAF COMMUNITY IN PARTICIPATING IN THIS PROCESS. 
          SO BECAUSE WE HAVE A, UM, A STRONG NETWORK OF PEOPLE THAT TRUST US, WE'RE THEN RELYING ON THE FURTHER NETWORKS THAT THEY TRUST. 
          AND IN ADDITION TO THE AMBASSADORS, IT'S ALSO THE PARTNERSHIPS, UM, WHICH ARE STRONG, RIGHT? THROUGH THE PROCESS OF DEVELOPING PARTNERSHIPS AND WORKING WITH FOLKS TO SAY, YOU'RE MAKING AN IMPACT IN THE COMMUNITY AT LARGE, AND WE WANNA PARTNER WITH YOU TO STRENGTHEN THAT IMPACT IS A PROCESS OF BUILDING TRUST AND BUILDING RELATIONSHIPS. 
          SO I, I WISH THAT, UM, THERE WAS A, YOU KNOW, THAT I HAD SOME BULLETS OF HERE'S THE REALLY SORT OF EASY WAYS TO DO IT. 
          AND WE KNOW THAT'S NOT, UM, HOW IT GOES. 
          AND FOR US, IT'S NOT THAT WE'VE CREATED THE VISION. 
          THE COMMUNITY CREATED THE VISION IN 2010 AND THEN NEVER TOUCHED IT, RIGHT? BUT IN FACT, THIS NONPROFIT ORGANIZATION HAS EXISTED FOR NOW NEARLY A DECADE, WORKING HARD TO BUILD RELATIONSHIPS AND PAY ATTENTION TO IT. 
          WHAT ARE THE BARRIERS AND HOW CAN WE MAKE SURE WE'RE ACTIVELY REMOVING THEM? SO I, I, UM, I KNOW THAT'S VERY EXPENSIVE AND TIME CONSUMING BECAUSE ONE HAS TO ACTUALLY BE TRAINED TO BE A FACILITATOR THAT THOSE THINGS DON'T NATURALLY, UM, THEY DON'T HAPPEN NATURALLY. 
          AND I KNOW THAT I'VE TRIED, UM, HAVING SMALL CHILDREN, UM, IS DEFINITELY, UM, A HUMBLING. 
          AND SO PEOPLE WILL TELL YOU THINGS JUST 'CAUSE THEY FEEL REALLY BAD FOR YOU AT THAT MOMENT, . 
          AND, AND SO THEY'LL TELL YOU, YOU KNOW, WHAT, WHAT, UM, HOW THINGS WOULD WORK EASIER FOR THEM, UH, IN, IN TIMES WHEN THEY'RE FEELING MORE VULNERABLE. 
          YES. 
          AND SO, NOT THAT I'M USING MY CHILDREN AS, UM,  AS, UH, WAYS TO GET INFORMATION, BUT SOMETIMES IT BREAKS DOWN THE BARRIER WHEN YOU'RE ALL ON THE FLOOR, UM, PLAYING OR ENGAGING IN A WAY THAT'S MORE NATURAL FOR THE PERSON THAT YOU'RE MEETING WITH. 
          SURE. 
          WE CALLED IT LIKE MEETING FOLKS WHERE THEY'RE AT, RIGHT? SO TAKING PUBLIC PARTICIPATION TO PEOPLE AND ALSO MEETING THEM WHERE THEY'RE AT IN THE PROCESS. 
          WE, FOR EXAMPLE, THE FIRST, UH, VERSION OF THE SURVEY WE WERE ADMINISTERING, YOU COULD CHECK THAT YOU WERE 13, WAS THE YOUNGEST THAT YOU COULD CHECK. 
          AND WE HAD PARTNER ORGANIZATIONS THAT ARE WORKING WITH PEOPLE WHO ARE YOUNGER, WHO HAVE A LOT TO SAY ABOUT SAN ANTONIO'S FUTURE. 
          AND SO WE IMMEDIATELY WERE PIVOTING AND WE'RE STRENGTHENING THAT SURVEY AS WE GO ALONG TO ALSO BE ENGAGING YOUNGER FOLKS, AND AGAIN, MEETING THEM WHERE THEY'RE AT. 
          WELL, I, I, I, I APPRECIATE THAT. 
          I WISH THERE WAS A WAY WE COULD DO THAT TO SCALE. 
          UM, AND ALSO I THINK IT HAPPENS OFTEN VERY ORGANICALLY. 
          UM, AND IT'S USUALLY NOT GONNA HAPPEN IN A MEETING, AND IT'S NOT GONNA HAPPEN WITH A, UM, FACILITATOR 
          [00:55:01]
LEADING A DISCUSSION. 
          UH, IT HAPPENS. 
          I FEEL LIKE, UM, WE DO TALK ABOUT MEETING PEOPLE WHERE THEY ARE, BUT EVEN THAT'S SOMETIMES STAGED AND THEN THAT DOESN'T REALLY WORK EITHER. 
          RIGHT. 
          UH, BECAUSE THE PERSON KNOWS THAT YOU'RE TRYING TO GET INFORMATION FROM THEM, AND THEN YOU DON'T HAVE THE TRUST THAT I THINK YOU NEED. 
          SO, RIGHT. 
          I, I'M, I'M, I'VE BEEN THINKING ABOUT IT A LOT BECAUSE I THINK WE ARE DISCUSSING SOME VERY IMPORTANT ISSUES AT OUR CITY, AND I THINK IT'S THE FIRST TIME THAT WE'VE REALLY HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO TALK ABOUT THINGS LIKE VIOLENCE AND TRAUMA, UH, AND REALLY, UM, THOSE ISSUES THAT ARE VERY SENSITIVE. 
          UH, BUT I REALLY DO BELIEVE THAT IF WE'RE GONNA MOVE THE NEEDLE ON ALL OF THESE THINGS, WE HAVE TO UNDERDRESS THE UNDERLYING TRAUMA AND VIOLENCE IN OUR COMMUNITY. 
          AND HOW DO YOU DO THAT WITHOUT, UM, UH, MAKING PEOPLE FEEL THAT THEY'RE IN A SAFE SPACE? AND SO I, I, I JUST, I, I DON'T, I DON'T HAVE A QUESTION PER SE, BUT I WISH WE COULD BUILD ON THAT IN SOME WAY. 
          UH, ALMOST LIKE AS IF IT WERE A, UM, A TWO-WAY MIRROR OR SOMETHING. 
          YEAH. 
          WHERE THE PERSON WHO WAS GETTING THE INFORMATION WAS NOT REALLY, UH, WAS NOT THE ONE AT THE SAME TIME DOCUMENTING THAT INFORMATION. 
          SO, UM, AND, AND SO, UH, I, I FEEL LIKE AS WE ARE TRYING TO CONNECT AND HAVE MORE WAYS TO CONNECT WITH PEOPLE, WE'RE WE'RE ACTUALLY LOSING THEM. 
          MM-HMM. 
          , AT LEAST THAT'S A FEELING THAT I'VE HAD. 
          SO YEAH. 
          I APPRECIATE, FIRST OF ALL, WE LIKE, YES. 
          WE'LL JUST SIT HERE NODDING UHHUH. 
          UH, WE AGREE. 
          UM, AND AGAIN, WE GO BACK TO SORT OF THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN TRUST IN GOVERNMENT AND TRUST IN YOUR NEIGHBOR OR TRUST IN AN ORGANIZATION THAT I GO TO A LOT. 
          RIGHT. 
          UM, AND IT'S PART OF THE CONVERSATION AS WE KEEP BEING ASKED AGAIN AND AGAIN, WELL, WHAT'S, WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO AFTER THIS SURVEY? LIKE, WHAT'S NEXT? AND WE'RE LIKE, WE DON'T, WE DON'T KNOW. 
          WE'RE ALLOWING THE COMMUNITY TO TELL US RIGHT. 
          WHAT, WHERE, WHAT'S NEXT. 
          UM, WE ARE WORKING WITH PARTNERS IN SPACES WHERE WE'VE ASKED FOR HIGH IMPACT. 
          LIKE, WHERE DO YOU HAVE PEOPLE? AND WE DON'T NEED TO BE THERE. 
          WE NEED YOU TO DOCUMENT WHAT THEY'RE SAYING SO THAT WE CAN UTILIZE IT. 
          OKAY. 
          SO I THINK YOU SAID SOMETHING VERY CRITICAL, RIGHT THERE WAS THAT, YOU KNOW, WE NEED YOU TO DOCUMENT THAT MM-HMM. 
          . 
          AND SO WHAT EXACTLY DOES THAT LOOK LIKE WHEN YOU SAY WE NEED TO DOCUMENT IT? PERFECT. 
          RIGHT. 
          SO, UH, LET'S USE, UH, THE GIRLS GLOBAL SUMMIT THAT JUST HAPPENED. 
          UM, SO THE GIRLS GLOBAL SUMMIT HAPPENED. 
          THEY ACTUALLY ALIGNED THEIR TABLE TALKS TO THE COMMUNITY VISION. 
          UM, SO THEY IDENTIFIED WHERE THEIR TABLE TALKS WOULD GO WITHIN THE COMMUNITY VISION. 
          AND THEN LITERALLY JUST TALKED ABOUT THE TOPIC AT THE TABLE AND WHO THE PRESENTATION WAS BEING DELIVERED BY A TEENAGE GIRL WHO WAS THEN SHOWING THEM WHAT SHE HAD LEARNED ABOUT THAT SPECIFIC TOPIC. 
          THEN WE SAID, SEND US THAT PRESENTATION. 
          WE'D LOVE TO SEE IT, AND IT ALLOWS US THEN, RIGHT? AND IF ANY CRITICAL QUESTIONS CAME UP, DID SOMEBODY ASK A QUESTION? WE'D LOVE TO SEE THAT TOO. 
          SO IT ALLOWS FOR, WE'RE NOT DOING IT IN A CONCERTED, LIKE, HERE'S YOUR PIECE OF PAPER AND PLEASE MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE COLLECTING THAT. 
          TELL US WHAT YOU'RE HEARING. 
          YOU ARE IN THE CONVERSATIONS WITH THEM. 
          RIGHT. 
          SO THAT IT THEN HELPS INFORM WHAT WE'RE DOING OVER HERE. 
          AND IT'S ALSO, LET'S BE CLEAR, WE HAVE 9,000 COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT PROCESSES HAPPENING AT ANY ONE TIME. 
          WE'RE ALWAYS ASKING QUESTIONS OF OUR COMMUNITY. 
          UM, AND IT'S NEVER A SHOCK. 
          IT WASN'T SHOCKING TO US THAT MOBILITY AND INFRASTRUCTURE AND EDUCATION ROSE TO THE TOP. 
          IT'S BEEN CONTINUING TO RISE TO THE TOP THAT THESE ARE THE THINGS THAT PEOPLE ARE MOST WANT TO SEE INFLUENCED THE MOST. 
          RIGHT. 
          AND IT'S THROUGH A HUNDRED, I'M, I KNOW WE KEEP SAYING 160 MULTI-SECTOR INSTITUTIONS, BUT IN CREATING THE RELATIONSHIPS WITH THOSE ORGANIZATIONS, THEY ARE ALSO ELEVATING FOR US WHAT THEIR CLIENTS ARE TELLING THEM, WHAT THE PEOPLE THEY SERVE ARE TELLING THEM, SO THAT WE CAN UTILIZE THAT IN A VERY MEANINGFUL WAY. 
          AND IT'S US DOCUMENTING AGAIN AND AGAIN. 
          WE JUST HEARD THESE 15 THINGS FROM THE LAST MEETING WE HAD WITH PARTNER X AND THOSE 15 THINGS, ARE THEY BEING REFLECTED IN THE WORK THAT WE'RE DOING MOVING FORWARD? WHICH ALLOWS US THEN TO SORT OF SHIFT AND PIVOT IN A MUCH MORE NIMBLE WAY. 
          I THINK ONE, 'CAUSE WE'RE SEVEN PEOPLE IN AN OFFICE, RIGHT? SO IT'S EASIER FOR US TO SORT OF SHIFT AND PIVOT, BUT IT ALLOWS FOR US THEN TO SAY, OH, OH, WHAT YOU HEARD WAS THERE'S NOT ENOUGH. 
          THE, THE DEAF COMMUNITY IN YOUR PARTICULAR SPACE DOESN'T FEEL WELCOME IN A COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT PROCESS. 
          WHAT, WHAT WOULD MAKE, WHAT WOULD BRING DOWN THAT BARRIER? OH AND A S L INTERPRETER. 
          GREAT. 
          LET US GO TO ANOTHER PARTNER ORGANIZATION, SAN ANTONIO COLLEGE, AND ASK THEM IF THEY'D BE WILLING TO PARTNER WITH US. 
          SO IT'S AN OPPORTUNITY TO SORT OF TAKE INFORMATION IN AT ALL TIMES. 
          AND WHILE WE'RE DOC, WE ARE ONLY DOCUMENTING IT SO THAT WE CAN SHOW, HEY, THERE ARE WAYS TO REDUCE BARRIERS TO COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT. 
          AND IT'S HARD, AND IT TAKES A LOT, AND YOU GOTTA SHIFT AND PIVOT AND CHANGE, AND IT'S NOT NECESSARILY WHAT YOU THINK 
          [01:00:01]
IS ACTUALLY THE THING. 
          RIGHT? UM, AND WE CERTAINLY KNOW THAT PUBLIC MEETINGS ARE NOT THE SPACE WHERE PEOPLE ARE LIKE, I CAN'T WAIT TO COME AND TALK ABOUT MY TRAUMA AT YOUR PUBLIC MEETING. 
          RIGHT? SO HOW ARE WE UTILIZING PARTNERSHIPS? UM, AND SO I HOPE THAT OUR SPEAK SPEAKUP FOLKS ARE LISTENING. 
          UM, I, I DID HAVE A MEETING WITH THE SPEAKUP PEOPLE YESTERDAY, AND WE WERE TALKING ABOUT, RIGHT, LIKE THE, WHAT WE, UH, WHAT WE CURRENTLY HAVE, UH, TO GET INFORMATION OUT TO PEOPLE. 
          UH, AND, YOU KNOW, WE TALKED ABOUT THE DIFFERENT VENUES, UH, OF THE DIFFERENT TV STATIONS AND HAVING THE TRANSLATION SERVICES AND, AND THE THINGS THAT WE DO. 
          AND I, I'M, I THINK THOSE ARE ALL REALLY IMPORTANT. 
          I, I DEFINITELY DON'T THINK WE SHOULD STEP BACK AT ALL, BUT I, I, PERHAPS THERE'S A BETTER WAY TO ENGAGE. 
          AND I CERTAINLY, I DON'T HAVE THE ANSWER, BUT I JUST KNOW THAT I FEEL LIKE I GET THE BEST INFORMATION AND THE BEST FEEDBACK FROM PEOPLE. 
          NOT WHEN I PRESENT AS, YES, YOUR COUNCIL MEMBER. 
          UM, BUT PEOPLE THINK I'M SOMEONE THEY DON'T REALLY KNOW THAT I'M A COUNCIL MEMBER. 
          SOMETIMES THEY THINK I'M A COUNSELOR, WHICH I TRY TO REMIND. 
          I'M NOT A COUNSELOR. 
          I HAVE LIKE ZERO, UM, HELP SKILL. 
          I, I CANNOT HELP YOU WITH YOUR ADDICTION PROBLEM. 
          NOT THAT KIND OF COUNSELOR. 
          UM, SOMETIMES THEY THINK I'M WITH THE POLICE DEPARTMENT. 
          MM-HMM. 
          , UH, BECAUSE WE'RE OFTEN REPORTING ON CRIME. 
          THEY DON'T, THEY DON'T REALLY KNOW WHO I AM, BUT THEY DO THINK THAT I'M SOMEBODY WHO WILL HELP THEM. 
          AND SO THAT'S WHEN I REALLY HEAR ABOUT THE NEED. 
          UH, AND SO I, I, I'M NOT, UH, I'M NOT A GOING UNDERCOVER OR ANYTHING, BUT I JUST FEEL LIKE I WISH THERE WAS A WAY THAT SOMEHOW WE COULD DOCUMENT THAT FEEDBACK IN A WAY THAT WAS MEANINGFUL. 
          THAT, YOU KNOW, COULD, YOU COULD ALSO PUT IN A CHART LIKE THIS. 
          MM-HMM. 
          . 
          UH, AND, AND PERHAPS IT DOES MEAN, UM, TRAINING DIFFERENTLY. 
          OUR SPEAK UP TEAM WHO HAVE BEEN, YOU KNOW, I KNOW THAT WE HAVE A WONDERFUL TEAM AT THE SPEAK UP DEPARTMENT, UH, BUT I THINK THEY'VE BEEN PRIMARILY TRAINED AS, UM, UH, MARKETING PROFESSIONALS OR, UM, MORE TRAINED IN GETTING INFORMATION OUT. 
          AND NOT AS, I DON'T, I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S, I DUNNO IF THAT'S TRUE, BUT I I WAS GONNA SAY, THEY'RE NOT TRAINED AS SUFFICIENTLY AS GETTING THE INFORMATION IN. 
          BUT, UM, ANYWAY, I, I HOPE THAT WE EXPAND THAT CONVERSATION AND I'LL, I'LL LEAVE MY COMMENTS TO THAT PARTICULAR PART ON CIVIC ENGAGEMENT. 
          'CAUSE IT'S BEEN ON MY MIND A LOT. 
          UM, AS WE ARE ESPECIALLY DISCUSSING, UH, TRAUMA AND VIOLENCE, PAY PARITY, WOMEN'S ISSUES, WOMEN ARE, WILL TEND NOT TO DISCUSS THESE THINGS, UH, MANY THINGS, UM, AS OPENLY, UM, THAT IN A WAY THAT, UM, UH, CAN BE TRANSLATED INTO INFORMATION LIKE THIS. 
          MM-HMM. 
          . 
          SO, THANK YOU. 
          THANK YOU, MAYOR. 
          THANK YOU. 
          COUNCIL MEMBER GONZALEZ. 
          COUNCIL MEMBER COURAGE. 
          THANK YOU, MAYOR. 
          UH, I APPRECIATE WHAT I'VE HEARD FROM THE MAYOR AND MY FELLOW COUNCIL MEMBERS ON THEIR REVIEW OF THIS AND, AND SOME OF WHAT YOU'VE ACCOMPLISHED AND WHERE WE'RE GOING WITH THIS. 
          UM, I THINK THAT OVER 10 YEARS, THE COMMUNITY MAY HAVE CHANGED A LOT OF WHAT THEY FEEL ARE THE PRIORITIES THAT THE CITY SHOULD BE LOOKING AT. 
          I KNOW WE NEVER LAID THIS OUT WHERE, WHERE WE SAID, OUT OF THESE, UH, 62, UH, EFFORTS, YOU KNOW, THIS ONE'S NUMBER ONE OR TWO OR THREE. 
          WE NEVER REALLY LAID OUT A PRIORITY LIST. 
          AND I DON'T KNOW IF, IF THAT'S THE BEST WAY TO GO AHEAD AND REVISIT ALL OF THIS, BUT IT DOES NEED TO BE REVISITED A LOT. 
          A LOT OF THINGS HAPPEN IN 10 YEARS. 
          A LOT OF ATTITUDES CHANGE. 
          A LOT OF PEOPLE BECOME MORE OR LESS ENGAGED AND, AND MORE, UH, INTERESTED IN THEIR VOICES BEING HEARD OVER DIFFERENT PERIODS OF TIME. 
          MM-HMM. 
          . 
          SO I'M GLAD TO HEAR THAT YOU'RE REVISITING WITH AS MANY PEOPLE AS YOU CAN, OR BRINGING NEW PEOPLE IN TO ADD THEIR THOUGHTS AND THEIR CONCERNS ABOUT WHAT SHOULD BE THE, UH, AREAS THAT THE CITY'S ADDRESSING, THAT THE COMMUNITY WANTS ADDRESSED IN, IN ALL OF THESE CATEGORIES. 
          AND I'M SURE THEY MAY GET RESHUFFLED A LITTLE BIT, YOU MAY ADD ANOTHER CATEGORY HERE, OR PUT A COUPLE OF THEM TOGETHER. 
          I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING HOW THAT PROCESS WORKS OUT. 
          AND I KNOW THAT SOMETIMES WHEN WE'RE ASKING PEOPLE WHAT THEY THINK THE CONCERNS ARE, WE ALSO SAY, YOU KNOW, HOW DO YOU THINK THOSE SHOULD BE ADDRESSED? AND WHAT I WOULD REALLY LIKE TO SEE ARE THE RECOMMENDATIONS THAT PEOPLE MAY HAVE ON ADDRESSING THE CONCERNS AND THE ISSUES THAT THEY SEE IMPORTANT TO OUR CITY, OR IMPORTANT TO THEIR OWN COMMUNITY, WHETHER IT'S THEIR DISTRICT OR THEIR NEIGHBORHOOD. 
          I THINK THOSE THINGS, UH, ARE IMPORTANT FOR US AS A COUNCIL TO BE ABLE TO UNDERSTAND IF, IF WE PRIORITIZE THINGS, AND A LOT OF TIMES IT'S ABOUT MONEY, UH, WHICH ARE WE GONNA PRIORITIZE, WHICH ARE GONNA HAVE THE GREATEST IMPACT ON THE COMMUNITY? WHICH CAN WE ACCOMPLISH AND WHICH CAN'T WE ACCOMPLISH? UH, AND SO THE, 
          [01:05:01]
WHAT YOU'RE DOING, I THINK IS VERY IMPORTANT FOR THIS COUNCIL AND FUTURE COUNCILS TO GO AHEAD AND TRY AND RAISE THE ACHIEVEMENT LEVEL OF WHAT WE'VE BEEN TRYING TO ACHIEVE IN, IN THESE, THESE, THESE ITEMS. NOW, ONE THING THAT CAME TO MIND WAS WHEN THE MAYOR WAS TALKING WITH YOU ABOUT RECIDIVISM, AND I NOTICED, 'CAUSE I LOOKED IN MY BOOK AS, AS HE MENTIONED IT, THAT THERE'S, THERE'S, UM, A WAY OF LAYING OUT A LIST OF SOLUTIONS TO THAT. 
          AND IT SAYS, A CONVICTION HISTORY OR CRIMINAL RECORD CAN PRODUCE BARRIERS TO A SUCCESSFUL REENTRY, EXCLUDING THOSE WITH CRIMINAL HISTORIES FROM SECURING HOUSING, GOING TO SCHOOL, VOTING, GETTING AN OCCUPATIONAL LICENSE. 
          WELL, WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO LOOK AT THAT AS A COMMUNITY AND SAY, OKAY, THOSE ARE BARRIERS THAT WE SHOULD BE ADDRESSING AS A COMMUNITY TO HELP THOSE PEOPLE MOVE FORWARD. 
          AND I, I, I'VE NEVER REALLY LOOKED AT IT THAT WAY, BUT I THINK THAT THAT'S SOMETHING WE NEED TO START LOOKING FOR IS WHAT ARE THE COMMON SENSE SOLUTIONS THAT PEOPLE MAY OFFER, BUT WHAT ARE THE BEST PRACTICES THAT ARE EASY TO IDENTIFY, UH, SUCH AS THESE RIGHT HERE THAT CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN WHAT WE DECIDE TO DO AS A COUNCIL TO MOVE THE NEEDLE FORWARD. 
          ON A LOT OF THESE, IT IS DISAPPOINTED TO SEE A LOT OF STRAIGHT LINES AND A LOT OF DOWNWARD LINES. 
          UH, AND SO MAYBE AS WE REVISIT ALL OF THESE, WE DO NEED TO THINK ABOUT PRIORITIZING SOME OF THESE THINGS THAT WERE IMPORTANT 10 YEARS AGO. 
          AND IF THEY COME UP AS BEING IMPORTANT AGAIN FOR ANOTHER 10 YEARS, AND WE HAVEN'T MADE ANY IMPROVEMENT ON THEM, IF WE'VE GOT A FLAT LINE AND WE'VE GONE DOWN AND WE'VE ONLY GONE UP A LITTLE BIT, MAYBE THOSE THINGS NEED TO BE PRIORITIZED A LITTLE BIT DEPENDING ON WHAT THEY ARE, SO THAT WE CAN REALLY SEE POSITIVE, UH, MOVEMENT FORWARD, UH, FOR WHAT THE COMMUNITY EXPECTS ARE IMPORTANT ISSUES THAT I BELIEVE THEY BELIEVE AFFECT THE QUALITY OF THEIR LIVES AND THE QUALITY OF THIS COMMUNITY. 
          SO, UM, I'LL, I'LL REREAD THIS VERY MORE, UH, INTENTLY AND ENCOURAGE MY STAFF TO DO THAT. 
          I ENCOURAGE ALL OF US TO, MAYBE WE CAN ALL COME UP WITH SOME COMMON GOALS THAT WE SEE JUST OUT OF THIS, THAT WE CAN START INCORPORATING IN OUR COMMITTEE MEETINGS, BUT MORE SO A YEAR FROM NOW OR, UH, 10 MONTHS FROM NOW, IF YOU COME OUT WITH A, A NEW UPDATED VERSION OF WHAT THE COMMUNITY BELIEVES ARE THE IMPORTANT THINGS WE SHOULD BE WORKING ON, THEN THAT'LL GIVE US A NEW SET OF GOALS TO WORK TOWARDS. 
          SO THANK YOU FOR THE WORK YOU DO. 
          I REALLY APPRECIATE IT. 
          THANK YOU. 
          COUNCIL MEMBER COURAGE. 
          COUNCIL MEMBER HVAR. 
          THANK YOU, MAYOR. 
          UM, GOOD AFTERNOON. 
          THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE. 
          UM, A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS, UH, FOR YOU AND I, I HAVE A COUPLE QUESTIONS FOR THE CITY, BUT WHAT PERCENTAGE, OR FOR WHICH CATEGORIES ARE YOU OBTAINING DATA FROM THE CITY? CAN YOU TELL ME? YEAH. 
          SO THE, EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THESE ARE HERE. 
          AND WHAT I'LL SHOW YOU FOR OUR CITY IS WE HAVE EIGHT CITY DEPARTMENTS WHO MAKE UP 33 RIGHT. 
          OF OUR SOURCES. 
          SO IT'S, IT'S 24% OF OUR SOURCES. 
          EIGHT OF THEM ARE CITY DEPARTMENTS. 
          THEY INFORM 16 OF THE INDICATORS, UM, WHICH IS ABOUT 25% OF THE INDICATORS. 
          AND SIX OF THOSE ARE ACTUALLY PERFORMANCE METRICS FOR THE CITY DEPARTMENTS. 
          SIX OF THE INDICATORS, SIX OF THE SIX 16. 
          SO 38% OF THE 16 ARE PERFORMANCE METRICS. 
          OKAY. 
          THANK YOU. 
          MM-HMM. 
          , I'M GONNA MOVE OVER TO THE CITY FOR JUST A SECOND. 
          SURE. 
          UM, DR. 
          BRIDGER MIGHT BE ABLE TO HELP ME, SO MAYBE YOU CAN ELABORATE A LITTLE ON WHAT, WHAT CITY DEPARTMENTS IS, UM, ARE, ARE, IS THIS DATA COMING FROM? SO I THINK THEY CAN DO THAT BETTER THAN I CAN. 
          OH, OKAY. 
          MAYBE, SORRY. 
          I'LL BE, I'LL BE RIGHT HERE FOR THE NEXT QUESTION. 
          OKAY. 
          UH, CITY OF SAN ANTONIO, IF YOU, YOU HAVE THE, IT'S ON PAGE ONE 11. 
          OH, OKAY. 
          THAT'S EASIER. 
          THANK YOU. 
          YEAH, I'M LIKE, I CAN, IT'S ON PAGE ONE 11 MEASURES AND METHODOLOGIES. 
          THAT'S, IT'S GONNA SHOW THE CITY DEPARTMENTS. 
          YEAH. 
          YOU CAN SEE NUMBER SIX, NUMBER SEVEN, NUMBER EIGHT, NUMBER NINE, NUMBER 10, NUMBER 11, NUMBER 12. 
          OH, I SEE. 
          OKAY. 
          YEAH. 
          AND THEN SWAP OVER. 
          'CAUSE SAN ANTONIO POLICE DEPARTMENT ALSO. 
          OKAY. 
          SO MAYBE THIS METHODOLOGY PAGE MIGHT HELP ME WITH THE NEXT QUESTION. 
          MY, MY, UM, QUESTION IS, I THOUGHT WAS FOR DR. 
          BRIDGER MAYBE, UM, THIS, IT'S HERE, BUT, UM, HOW IS, WHAT I'M WONDERING IS HOW IS THE CITY REC RECONCILING, UM, THE RESOURCE IMPACT BEFORE BETWEEN OUR POVERTY REPORT AND THE, THE MEASURING IMPACT CONCLUSIONS? I'M LOOKING AT PAGE 12 FROM THE NONPROFIT PARTNER IMPACT REPORT. 
          UM, HOW, HOW WE'RE RECONCILING THOSE TWO? IS THE CITY DEPARTMENT WORKING ON THIS? MAYBE, MAYBE. 
          OR, 
          [01:10:01]
OR MAYBE I SAY 2020. 
          THE POVERTY REPORT CAME OUT AFTER THEY HAD FINISHED COLLECTING THEIR DATA FOR THIS REPORT. 
          UM, BUT GENERALLY SPEAKING FROM METRO HEALTH'S PERSPECTIVE, WHERE THEY GET A LOT OF THEIR HEALTH DATA, UM, WE'VE GOTTEN BETTER AT RECONCILING THAT DATA AND WE'VE STRENGTHENED THAT RELATIONSHIP UP. 
          OKAY. 
          IS THAT A FAIR STATEMENT? MM-HMM. 
          . 
          OKAY. 
          UM, AND I HAVE HAD THE FORTUNE TO SEE THE PRESENTATION, THE POVERTY REPORT PRESENTATION FROM, UM, BOTH AT INNOVATION AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT FROM DIFFERENT ANGLES. 
          SO, UM, IT'S KIND OF FRESH IN MY MIND WHEN I'M, I'M READING THROUGH THIS STUFF, SO I, I UNDERSTAND IT JUST CAME OUT, SO MAYBE WE CAN TALK ABOUT IT LATER. 
          BUT I'M LOOKING AT LIKE THE BETA COEFFICIENT ANALYSIS, REALLY SEEING, UM, WHAT, WHAT, WHAT WE CAN USE, HOW WE CAN USE THIS DATA AND MOVE FORWARD. 
          AND SO MY LAST QUESTION IS, UM, REALLY I'M LOOKING THROUGH KIND OF BROWSING THROUGH THE, THE BEAUTIFUL REPORT. 
          I WILL SAY, UM, I SEE THIS AS KIND OF A, A DASHBOARD OF SORTS, AND IT'S HELPFUL, BUT WHAT I WANNA KNOW IS WHAT WE'RE DOING ABOUT IT, RIGHT? WHAT DO, AND THIS MAYBE IS WHAT COUNCILMAN COURAGE WAS, WAS TALKING ABOUT A LITTLE BIT WHAT WE AS A CITY CAN DO TO, TO MOVE THE NEEDLE. 
          AND ALSO HOW DO WE KNOW THAT, UM, OR WHAT DO WE KNOW ABOUT WHAT IS MOVING THE NEEDLE? WHAT ARE WE DOING AS A COMMUNITY? WE'RE HEARING FROM THE COMMUNITY? AND WE'RE, UM, FROM WHAT I'M UNDERSTANDING FROM THE PRESENTATION, IT'S COMMUNITY DRIVEN AND THEY'RE SETTING UP THESE GOALS FOR US. 
          UH, AND THEN WHAT ARE WE DOING, NUMBER ONE, AND HOW CAN WE CONTINUE TO, OR AT LEAST FROM GIVEN THIS POVERTY REPORT, I'D LIKE TO SEE WHAT WE'RE DOING, WHAT WE CAN DO IN THE FUTURE. 
          YEAH. 
          BUT, UM, I'M SORRY, I WAS GETTING A LITTLE CONVOLUTED, BUT I JUST WANNA SEE THE ACTION. 
          I WANNA SEE YEAH. 
          WHAT IS ACTUALLY WORKING. 
          YEAH. 
          IS IT SOMETHING THAT WE'RE DOING AS A CITY, AS A COMMUNITY THAT'S MOVING THE NEEDLE ON, YOU KNOW, HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATION RATES? SURE. 
          OR IS IT JUST A NATIONAL TREND THAT WE WE'RE BENEFITING FROM? YEAH, I THINK IT'S A MULTITUDE OF THINGS, RIGHT? SO INSTITUTIONALLY WE KNOW THAT IF AN INSTITUTION HOLDS SORT OF THE, UH, THE BIGGEST BULK OF IT, RIGHT? HIGH SCHOOLS CAN HELP. 
          AND HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATION, OBVIOUSLY, 'CAUSE THEY'RE HIGH SCHOOL AND THEY CAN GET MORE STUDENTS TO EXIT HIGH SCHOOL, RIGHT? IF YOU LOOK AT SOMETHING THAT'S MORE, OH, I'M GONNA SAY COMPLEX LIKE TEEN PREGNANCY, YES. 
          NATIONALLY, WE ARE SEEING THE PREGNANCY RATE GO DOWN FOR TEENAGERS. 
          AND AT THE SAME TIME, WE KNOW THAT SAN ANTONIO'S TEEN PREGNANCY RATE HAS REDUCED BY 46% OVER THE LAST SIX YEARS, WHICH IS A, A, A MUCH LARGER DECREASE THAN THE REST. 
          AND IT'S BECAUSE MULTI-SECTOR INSTITUTIONS CAME TOGETHER. 
          SO IT WASN'T JUST ONE INSTITUTION SAYING LIKE, WE'VE, WE OWN TEEN PREGNANCY RATE, WE'LL DO IT BY OURSELVES. 
          IT WAS CITY, COUNTY, UM, HEALTHCARE NON-PROFIT, RIGHT? SECULAR RELIGIOUS, ALL COMING TOGETHER AND SAYING, HOW DO WE DO THIS? IT'S IN THE CONVERSATIONS AROUND LIKE YOUR COMMISSION ON FAMILY VIOLENCE. 
          THAT'S NOT THE NAME OF IT, BUT IT'S UNDERSTANDING IT'S MULTI-SECTOR. 
          SO WHAT IS THE CITY'S PIECE IN IT? WHAT IS THE COUNTY'S PIECE IN IT? WHAT ARE NON-PROFIT PIECES IN IT? SO IT DEPENDS ON THE INDICATORS THEMSELVES. 
          WHAT WE DO KNOW IS THAT TARGETED INTERVENTIONS WORK, WHICH IS WHY WE STARTED DISAGGREGATING THE INFORMATION. 
          SO WHEN WE KNOW, FOR EXAMPLE, THAT TEEN PREGNANCY RATE IS GOING DOWN, UM, WE CAN ALSO, NOW THAT WE'VE DISAGGREGATED IT, SEE WHAT 15 TO 17 YEAR OLDS LOOK LIKE, WHAT 18 TO 19 YEAR OLDS LOOK LIKE. 
          THEN ALSO DISAGGREGATED BY RACE. 
          AND WE ALSO, IN TALKING TO OUR PARTNERS, KNOW THAT RIGHT NOW, ONE OF THE BIGGEST CHALLENGES IN THAT SPACE IS ACTUALLY TEEN MOMS HAVING A SECOND BABY, NOT THE FIRST ONE. 
          WE'RE REDUCING THAT ONE PRETTY WELL. 
          IT'S THE SECOND ONE. 
          SO NOW WE KNOW, OKAY, WE NEED TO SHIFT OUR RESOURCES AND PROGRAMS AND NEEDS. 
          RIGHT? SO I I'M, SO I'M SORRY TO SORT OF LIKE SAY, UM, HERE'S WHAT I'M HEARING FROM YOU IS WHAT CAN THE CITY BE DOING MORE LIKE BETTER, RIGHT? WHAT ARE THE TARGETED INTERVENTIONS THAT THE CITY ITSELF CAN BE DOING? AND WE'RE LIKE, YEAH, AGREED. 
          THIS REPORT SHOULD BE OFFERING YOU. 
          WHERE ARE THE CHALLENGES? WHAT ARE THE TAR? WHERE'S THE SPACE THAT WE SHOULD BE SHIFTING OUR PROGRAMS AND POLICIES AND RESOURCES, AND THEN HOW CAN WE DO THAT? AND THEN OVER TIME, HOW ARE WE TRACKING IT TO MAKE SURE THAT IT'S ACTUALLY WORKING? UM, THE, YOUR OPPORTUNITY CENTER, UH, UH, WHICH IS TARGETING 16 TO 24 YEAR OLDS, WE KNOW THAT'S A CHALLENGE IN OUR COMMUNITY, RIGHT? AND THERE'S AN INTERVENTION THAT THE CITY IS CURRENTLY PARTICIPATING IN AND MAKING SURE THAT THESE 16 TO 24 YEAR OLDS ARE GETTING SORT OF BACK INTO THE SPACE. 
          FANTASTIC. 
          WE KNOW THAT'S NOT GONNA HAPPEN OVER ONE YEAR. 
          WE GOTTA TRACK IT FOR A MINUTE. 
          SO WHAT ARE THE PERFORMANCE METRICS THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT OVER THE COURSE OF FIVE YEARS, RIGHT? TO SEE IF WE ARE ACTUALLY SEEING, ARE THESE 16 TO 24 YEAR OLDS NOW GETTING THEIR HIGH SCHOOL DIPLOMA? ARE THEY GETTING A DEGREE? ARE THEY MOVING INTO THE WORKFORCE? RIGHT? SO THERE'S SPA I'M LIKE, YES, EXACTLY WHAT YOU'RE SAYING. 
          YES. 
          YEAH. 
          AND, AND NOT JUST THE CITY THOUGH. 
          AND NOT JUST THE CITY AS AN ENTITY. 
          I MEAN, LIKE COMMUNITY, RIGHT? A HUNDRED PERCENT. 
          YEAH. 
          OKAY. 
          I'M, I'M JUST SAYING SPECIFICALLY FOR Y'ALL, YES. 
          LOOKING AT WHAT IS THE TARGETED INTERVENTION THE CITY CAN PARTICIPATE IN. 
          YES. 
          AND THAT'S TO ALL THE 
          [01:15:01]
QUESTIONS, TO BE FAIR, RIGHT? THE CITY IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR, FOR THE WORK ON THIS. 
          THEY ARE ONE ENTITY AND A MULTITUDE OF, SO I'D JUST LIKE TO ADD TO THAT AS WELL, UM, TO GET AT SOME OF THE NUANCE IN YOUR QUESTION. 
          I THINK THAT RIGHT NOW, IT WOULD BE FAIR TO CHARACTERIZE A LOT OF THE DATA WORK GOING ON AT THE CITY AND SA 2020 AS BEING SOMEWHAT DISCONNECTED. 
          SO FOR EXAMPLE, WITH THE POVERTY REPORT, WITH THE DOMESTIC VIOLENCE REPORT, WITH THE GUN VIOLENCE REPORT THAT WE'RE WORKING ON NOW, WE HAVEN'T CONSULTED WITH SA 2020 WITH SOME OF THE WORK SA 2020 IS DOING IN THE COMMUNITY. 
          THEY HAVEN'T ALWAYS CONSULTED WITH US. 
          SO WE NEED BOTH ON BOTH SIDES TO DO A BETTER JOB KIND OF FIGURING OUT WHERE OUR LANES ARE AND MAKING SURE THAT WE'RE NOT DUPLICATING EACH OTHER'S WORK, AND MAKING SURE THAT WHAT WE'RE BRINGING TO EACH OF EACH OTHER'S WORK IS A CATALYTIC FUNCTION THAT CAN REALLY DRIVE IT FORWARD MUCH MORE EFFICIENTLY AND EFFECTIVELY. 
          AND I THINK THAT'S KIND OF WHAT YOU'RE GETTING AT AS WELL, COUNCILWOMAN. 
          IT REALLY IS. 
          UM, AND YOU KNOW, MY INITIAL QUESTION WAS THE, THE PERCENTAGE, UH, OR FROM WHICH CATEGORIES AND 24% OF THE DATA IS COMING FROM THE CITY. 
          SO THERE'S, UH, AND THE WHOLE OTHER, UM, PERCENTAGE THAT'S NOT COMING FROM THE CITY THAT THE CITY COULD USE, RIGHT? SO THAT, THAT'S REALLY WHAT I'M, I'M GETTING AT PART OF IT, BUT ALSO I'D LIKE TO SEE, I LOVE THE DASHBOARD AND I, I'M GLAD TO BE ABLE TO REFERENCE IT, BUT I ALSO WANNA SEE THE NEXT STEP. 
          WHAT DO WE, WHAT ARE, WELL, NOT SO MUCH THE NEXT STEP IS, BUT HOW DID WE AFFECT THAT? HOW DID WE MAKE THOSE INCREASES HAPPEN IN CERTAIN, UM, WHERE WE WANT IT TO INCREASE, RIGHT? AND, UH, AND THEN WHAT CAN WE DO BETTER? MM-HMM. 
          . 
          OKAY. 
          THAT WAS ALL. 
          THANK YOU, DR. 
          RICHARDS. 
          THANK YOU. 
          I'M A YES, AGREED. 
          THANK YOU. 
          COUNCIL MEMBER KEO DALE, COUNCIL MEMBER ROCHA GARCIA. 
          THANK YOU MAYOR. 
          UH, AND THANK YOU TEAM FOR ALL BEING HERE TODAY. 
          GREAT WORK. 
          I ECHO THE COMMENTS OF SOME OF MY COLLEAGUES ON, ON THE REPORT, SO I'M VERY PROUD TO SEE GREAT WORK BEING DONE IN OUR CITY. 
          UH, I HAVE A QUESTION. 
          I HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO FIND THE BREAKDOWN FOR COUNCIL DISTRICT. 
          I WENT ONLINE AND I WAS LOOKING IN HERE. 
          I KNOW PREVIOUS REPORTS HAD THAT ON, ON HERE. 
          WILL WE BE RECEIVING THAT? YES. 
          YOU, WE ARE ACTUALLY IN THE PROCESS OF PUTTING IT ONLINE. 
          UM, SO WE'VE BROKEN UP, UH, THE COUNCIL DISTRICT PROFILES BY A FEW MORE INDICATORS. 
          THIS YEAR. 
          WE HAD A CHALLENGE WITH SOME OF THE DATA WE RECEIVED. 
          UM, IT WAS MISS, UM, LABELED, UH, SO IT CAME TO US INCORRECTLY. 
          IT WAS CAUGHT BY OUR DATA PARTNER. 
          SO WE'VE REFRESHED IT AND NOW WE'RE GETTING IT TOGETHER. 
          OKAY. 
          THANK YOU, MOLLY. 
          MM-HMM. 
          . 
          SO I, I LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING THAT ALSO ON PAGE 13TH. 
          SAME, UH, CONCERNS AS SOME OF MY COLLEAGUES. 
          SO I WAS WONDERING HOW WE HOPE TO MOVE THE NEEDLE. 
          AND I KNOW THAT YOU SAID THAT NEXT YEAR IT LOOKS LIKE WE'LL HAVE A 10 YEAR HISTORY TO SEE WHAT HAS BEEN DONE. 
          UM, I'M REALLY LOOKING FORWARD TO THAT BECAUSE I WAS GONNA ASK, WELL, DO YOU HAVE LIKE, KINDA LIKE A FIVE YEAR, LIKE WHAT, WHAT WE HAVE DONE BETWEEN 29, 20 14 AND 2019? OR DO, IS THERE ANYTHING THAT I CAN SEE A COMPARISON YEAR OVER YEAR OF HOW OR WHERE WE'VE IMPROVED AND THEN LOOKED AT MAYBE SOME TRENDS GOING ON IN THE COMMUNITY THAT MIGHT HAVE HELPED OR NOT HELPED THAT TREND? YEAH, IF YOU LOOK AT THE, UM, DASHBOARD ONLINE, YOU ACTUALLY SEE THE TREND LINES. 
          PERFECT. 
          OKAY. 
          GOOD. 
          SO THAT, I'LL GO ONLINE AND I'LL CHECK. 
          I DIDN'T KNOW THAT WAS THERE, SO THAT'S GREAT. 
          ON, UM, ON THE CIVIC ENGAGEMENT, SO I KNOW YOU ALL HAVE, ARE HAVING ONE IN, UH, DOELL TODAY. 
          MM-HMM. 
          , UM, A LOT OF THE FOLKS THAT I REPRESENT CAN'T AFFORD AN $11 DRINK. 
          MM-HMM. 
          . 
          SO INVITE YOU TO THE FLEA MARKET OR TRADERS VILLAGE OR PEA PARK OR SOMEWHERE MM-HMM. 
           SO THAT, UM, MAYBE YOU ALL CAN, UH, ENGAGE. 
          BECAUSE I DID NOTICE ALSO ONE OF THE REPORTS, UH, THE COUNCIL DISTRICTS THAT ARE IN MOST NEED ARE ALSO THE MOST UNDERREPRESENTED, EVEN IN THE BOARDROOM, UH, PROJECT THAT YOU GUYS HAVE GOING ON, I SAW DISTRICT THREE, FOUR, AND FIVE. 
          YEP. 
          WE'RE, WE'RE REALLY, UM, SO WE'RE, WE KEEP GETTING, WE KEEP HEARING FROM THE SAME PEOPLE MM-HMM. 
          . 
          AND SO I JUST WANNA MAKE SURE THAT THERE'S A DIVERSITY OF, OF A FOCUS ON DIVERSITY. 
          UM, THE ON PAGE 71 OF THE, UH, COMMUNITY IMPACT REPORT PROJECT, THE, OR DID YOU GUYS INCORPORATE GROWTH INTO THAT ORIGINAL BASELINE? THE GOAL QUANTIFY TO REDUCE RESIDENTIAL WASTE? NO. 
          OKAY. 
          SO I WAS WONDERING 'CAUSE THAT WAS A, A LITTLE SHARP, AND SO I WAS JUST WONDERING RIGHT NOW HOW THAT WAS NOW. 
          OKAY. 
          SO THEN, UM, MAY, SO I'M SURE YOU'LL DO THAT FOR THE NEXT REITERATION. 
          IT MIGHT BE HELPFUL. 
          UH, ON PAGE 81, I WAS, UH, SAD TO SEE RIGHT. 
          THAT WE HAVE 20% CONFIRMED VICTIMS ARE UNDER FIVE YEARS OLD. 
          MM. 
          UM, I DO WANNA TAKE A MOMENT AND POINT OUT THAT 50 56% OF THE PERPETRATORS WERE FEMALE. 
          AND THE REASON THAT I SAY THIS IS BECAUSE LAST TIME WE WERE TALKING ABOUT DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AND WE HAVE THIS WONDERFUL CAMPAIGN. 
          UM, BUT I, I WAS REMINDED BY ONE OF MY RESIDENTS AND HE SAID, JUST F Y I, UH, MALES GET ABUSED TOO. 
          RIGHT? AND SO, 
          [01:20:01]
AND IT WAS INTERESTING BECAUSE I'VE, I'VE HEARD THAT MESSAGE AND I'M, I'VE BEEN TRYING TO MAKE SURE THAT I'M MORE AWARE ABOUT HOW I, ABOUT HOW I SPEAK. 
          UM, BUT I THINK THIS IS VERY TELLING THAT 56% OF THE PERPETRATORS ARE WOMEN. 
          UH, AND FROM THE LOOKS OF IT, THEY'RE, THEY'RE HARMING THEIR OWN CHILDREN. 
          AND SO I, I JUST THANK YOU FOR POINTING THAT OUT. 
          AND I THINK THAT WE NEED TO BE MORE FORTHRIGHT IN, IN SAYING THAT, THAT THIS IS HAPPENING. 
          'CAUSE SOMETIMES I THINK MEN GET BASHED ALL OF THE TIME FOR SOME OF THESE THINGS, OR IT'S THE, THE ASSUMPTION THAT IT'S MEN AND IN REALITY THERE'S A LOT OF FEMALES DOING THIS AS WELL. 
          SO THANK YOU FOR, FOR, UM, ADDING THAT. 
          I THOUGHT THAT WAS A NICE HIGHLIGHT THAT YOU GUYS DID THERE, UM, ON, HAVE YOU, OR HAVE YOU, ROSA, SO YOU GUYS ARE GONNA DO, UH, THE 10 YEARS. 
          SO ARE YOU ALSO GONNA DO LIKE AN ECONOMIC IMPACT ON WHAT SA 2020 HAS DONE FOR THE LAST 10 YEARS? IS, IS THAT SOMETHING, AND I KNOW THIS IS AN AGGREGATE, THIS IS PARTNER ORGANIZATIONS, SO IT'S NOT NECESSARILY JUST SA 2020, BUT HAVE YOU COLLECTED ECONOMIC IMPACT REPORTS FROM SOME OF YOUR PARTNERS THAT MAYBE CAN HELP YOU ALL TELL THE STORY? YEAH. 
          SOME OF THE REPORTS THAT WE PRODUCE THAT MOLLY SPOKE TO A LITTLE BIT EARLIER INCLUDE PARTNER SPECIFIC REPORTS. 
          UM, AS PARTNERS ASK US TO WORK MORE DEEPLY WITH THEM IN STRENGTHENING THEIR CAPACITY AND STRENGTHENING THEIR IMPACT, WE THEN RETURN A REPORT TO THEM THAT TALKS ABOUT THE ECONOMIC IMPACT OF THEIR WORK. 
          WE ALSO PRODUCE WHAT'S IN FRONT OF YOU, RIGHT? THE NONPROFIT PARTNER IMPACT REPORT TALKS ABOUT THE ECONOMIC IMPACT OF THE NONPROFIT SECTOR MORE SPECIFICALLY. 
          AND WE PRODUCED THAT ANNUALLY. 
          OKAY. 
          GOOD. 
          UM, ONE OF THE THINGS THAT IS, AND I'LL MOVE ON TO, UH, TO THAT REPORT. 
          SO I THINK ON PAGE FIVE, YOU ALL REFERENCED, AND THIS IS SPECIFICALLY THE NONPROFIT PARTNER IMPACT REPORT. 
          MM-HMM. 
          , UM, YOU ALL REFERENCE INTERNS. 
          AND SO 144 NONPROFIT PARTNERS HOSTED 1,920 INTERNS. 
          ARE THOSE NEW INTERNS, OR ARE THESE PROGRAMS THEY ALREADY HAD BEFORE WE STARTED AS A 2020? OR IS THAT SOMETHING THAT THEY CREATED NEW BECAUSE OF THE EFFORTS OF SA 2020? YEAH. 
          ALL OF THE DATA IN THIS REPORT IS OUR NONPROFIT PARTNERS REPORTING FROM THEIR MOST RECENTLY COMPLETED FISCAL YEAR. 
          SO THE NUMBERS THAT YOU'RE SEEING HERE FOR INTERNSHIPS WOULD'VE BEEN FOR THE FISCAL YEAR BETWEEN 2018 AND 2019. 
          OKAY. 
          SO THOSE COULD OR MAY NOT, MAY OR MAY NOT BE SOMETHING THAT THEY ALREADY HAD IN PLACE. 
          MM-HMM. 
          . 
          OKAY. 
          SO THEN I, I WOULD LOVE TO SEE LIKE WHAT WE ADVOCATED FOR AND WE WENT OVER AND ABOVE, RIGHT. 
          AND, AND REALLY ACCOMPLISHED. 
          I THINK THAT'S ANOTHER WAY OF, OF SHOWING THAT WE'VE MOVED THE NEEDLE. 
          UM, ALSO ON PAGE SEVEN, UM, I DO, AND I, AND WE KNOW THIS IS 68% OF WOMEN, IT SEEMS ARE, ARE LEADING NONPROFITS THAT ARE DOING THE WORK. 
          UM, ON PAGE EIGHT, WE HAVE, UH, MY QUESTION IS SPECIFICALLY BECAUSE IN D FOUR, THERE'S ONLY 1%. 
          HOW MANY, HOW MANY DID YOU INTERVIEW EXECUTIVE DIRECTORS AND CEOS? WHAT'S THAT TOTAL NUMBER? I DIDN'T SEE THAT. 
          YEAH. 
          THE DATA IN THIS REPORT IS REPRESENTING OUR 144 NONPROFIT PARTNERS. 
          SO IT'S A REQUIREMENT TO COMPLETE THESE SURVEY QUESTIONS. 
          I, I WANNA ALSO ADD, IT'S IMPORTANT TOO THAT THIS IS THE FIRST YEAR, UH, THAT WE, THIS IS THE SECOND YEAR THAT WE'VE PRODUCED THIS REPORT, AND THEN IT'S THE SECOND YEAR THAT WE ARE PRODUCING, UM, THESE SPECIFIC QUESTIONS AND ASKING ABOUT RACE AND GENDER FOR LEADERSHIP. 
          IT'S ALSO THE FIRST YEAR THAT WE ASKED ABOUT INTERNSHIPS AND WHETHER THEY WERE PAID OR UNPAID. 
          AND THEN THE ROLE OF ESSAY 2020 AND DRIVING PROGRESS, THAT IS TO USE THIS INFORMATION TO INFLUENCE OUR NONPROFIT PARTNERS IN THE NONPROFIT SECTOR AT LARGE. 
          AND THE OTHER SECTORS THAT WE REFERENCED, BANK OF AMERICA AND THEIR, THEIR SUPPORT FOR PAID INTERNSHIPS INFLUENCE MULTIPLE SECTORS TO DOING BETTER BY THE NONPROFIT SECTOR AND SUPPORTING THE NONPROFIT SECTOR TO DRIVE IMPACT. 
          AND THAT'S GREAT. 
          AND I DID SEE THAT 73% ARE UNPAID INTERNSHIPS, SO, EXACTLY. 
          RIGHT. 
          RIGHT. 
          YEAH. 
          SO IT'S AN OPPORTUNITY, UH, TO CHANGE THAT. 
          RIGHT. 
          SO, GOOD. 
          I, I LIKE THAT. 
          AND I COULD TELL YOU WHO MY 1% AS A C E O IS PROBABLY DOING A NONPROFIT HERE. 
          UM, BUT I'D LOVE TO SEE THAT INCREASE, UH, ON PAGE 10 IS WHAT I WAS TALKING ABOUT EARLIER, THAT, UH, SOME OF THE MOST UNDERREPRESENTED, UH, DISTRICTS, COUNCIL DISTRICTS ARE ALSO THE ONES THAT ARE UNDERREPRESENTED IN THE BOARD GAME PARTICIPANTS. 
          SO I'D LOVE TO MAYBE WORK WITH YOU AND, UM, MAYBE WE CAN MEET AND WE CAN KIND OF STRATEGIZE WHO SOME OF THE FOLKS THAT MIGHT BE ABLE TO PARTICIPATE FROM DISTRICT FOUR MIGHT BE. 
          AND I'M SURE MY COLLEAGUES WOULD WANT TO DO THE SAME. 
          YEAH, WE WOULD LOVE THAT THE APPLICATION LAUNCHES TOMORROW. 
          OH, GOOD. 
          OKAY. 
          UM, SO YES, WE ARE ABSOLUTELY PREPARED TO, AND WILLING AND INTERESTED IN SITTING DOWN AND HAVING A CONVERSATION ABOUT HOW WE CAN INCREASE RE RECRUITMENT IN YOUR DISTRICT. 
          GREAT. 
          CAN YOU GIVE ME SOME ADDITIONAL INFORMATION? UH, SO I NOTICED 68%, UH, OF THE ORGANIZATIONS ARE RUNNING WITH LESS THAN 50 EMPLOYEES. 
          UM, 81% ARE RUNNING WITH LESS THAN 100. 
          CAN YOU TELL ME OUT OF THOSE, DID YOU DIG DOWN A LITTLE BIT DEEPER AND SEE LIKE WHAT KIND OF SERVICES THE FOLKS THAT ARE MAYBE IN THAT, UH, ONE TO FIVE EMPLOYEE, WHAT KIND OF INDUSTRIES, SPECIFICALLY NON-PROFIT, UM, DO THEY REPRESENT? LIKE WHAT KIND OF SOCIAL SERVICES ARE THEY OFFERING? DID YOU ALL 
          [01:25:01]
BREAK IT DOWN A LITTLE FURTHER, OR? WE DO. 
          SO WE ASK ALL OF OUR PARTNER ORGANIZATIONS TO SHARE WITH US THE COMMUNITY RESULTS THAT THEY'RE MAKING AN IMPACT ON. 
          UM, AND IT'S ALL OF THE DATA THAT WE SEE HERE, WE CAN CROSS-REFERENCE. 
          OKAY. 
          SO WE'D BE ABLE TO ISOLATE THE SPECIFIC SIZES THAT YOU'RE ASKING US FOR, AND THEN TO SHOW WHAT ARE THE SPECIFIC COMMUNITY RESULTS THAT THEY'RE MOVING THE NEEDLE ON, OR WHAT ARE THE SPECIFIC SECTORS THAT THEY WORK IN. 
          THAT'S ABSOLUTELY INFORMATION THAT WE COULD SHARE. 
          GREAT. 
          I'D LOVE TO SEE THAT, ESPECIALLY THE ONE TO FIVE, LIKE THAT'S HUGE. 
          LIKE, WHAT, WHAT ARE THEY DOING? WHO ARE THEY WORKING WITH? AND SO ANYWAY, SO I'M INTERESTED IN HELPING. 
          UM, PAGE 15, I THINK, UM, WAS VERY WELL DONE AS WELL. 
          YOU ALL HAVE, UH, PARTNERS. 
          SO WE HAVE PARTNERS, 63% VALERO FUND, 63% OF THESE 144 PARTNER AGENCIES. 
          MM-HMM. 
          . 
          SO IS THERE A REASON, I'M ASSUMING H E B I JUST HEARD TODAY, I CAME FROM AN L S A PRESENTATION EARLIER, AND I HEARD THAT H E B WAS ONE OF THE, UM, THE ONES THAT CONTRIBUTES THE MOST. 
          AND I KNOW THAT U S A A DOES TOO. 
          DID THEY JUST NOT REPORT OR ARE THESE JUST PEOPLE WHO ARE SHARING THEIR INFORMATION? IS THAT WHAT'S YEAH, THIS IS COMING FROM OUR NON-PROFIT PARTNERS TELLING US WHO IS FUNDING THEM. 
          OKAY. 
          SO THEN, OKAY, SO THEN I JUST, I'M SURPRISED THEN THAT THAT H E B'S NOT IN HERE AT ALL. 
          OR, OR U S A A, SO THAT'S WHY I WAS WONDERING, AND I HAD TO ASK LIKE, IS THERE FOLKS THAT AREN'T REPORTING AND SO WHO AREN'T PARTICIPATING? AND SO, UM, OKAY. 
          AND THEN, AND JUST TO, I'M SO SORRY TO INTERRUPT. 
          JUST SO YOU KNOW, ALSO WHEN WE'RE WORKING WITH, 'CAUSE WE ALSO WORK WITH OTHER SECTORS. 
          SO IF WE'RE WORKING WITH AN INSTITUTION LIKE A BANK OF AMERICA OR A WHATABURGER, AND WE'RE SEEING WHO THEY'RE FUNDING AND WE SEE THAT THEY ARE NOT A PARTNER, WE ARE ALSO DOING OUTREACH TO THEM TO SEE IF THEY WOULD LIKE TO COME ON BOARD. 
          SO THAT COULD BE POSSIBLE AS WELL, RIGHT? LIKE A LIST OF H E B PARTNERS, WHO ARE THEY AND ARE THEY NOT OUR PARTNERS? OR DO WE NEED TO DO MORE OUTREACH? YEAH. 
          GOT IT. 
          OKAY. 
          AND THEN, UM, I THINK COUNCILMAN GONZALEZ KIND OF REFERENCED THIS EARLIER, BUT I WAS JUST WONDERING HOW YOU WORK OR YOU INTEGRATE WITH, UH, SA SPEAKUP AND IF, UH, YOU THINK THAT SA SPEAKUP HAS HELPED YOU ALL IN THE COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT ARENA? UM, WE, UH, HAVE WORKED, UH, I THINK IT WAS LAST YEAR, BROUGHT, UM, THE CITY MANAGER, ERIC, INTO A CONVERSATION THAT WE HAD, UM, SPECIFICALLY TO TALK ABOUT THE BUDGET. 
          WE HAVE LOOKED AT, UH, THE ESSAY SPEAK UP, UM, OUTCOMES AND DATA, UH, TO ALSO OFFER OPPORTUNITIES TO STRENGTHEN THEIR COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT PROCESS. 
          UM, SO YEAH. 
          OKAY. 
          UM, I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT, SO, UH, I HEARD EARLIER THERE WAS A COMMENT, I THINK IT WAS COUNCILMAN HAIDA CAVEO MENTIONED, UM, SOMETHING LIKE, WELL, ARE, ARE WE CONNECTING? AND SO I'M JUST CONCERNED THAT IF IT'S BEEN 10 YEARS AND WE'RE STILL NOT TALKING TO EACH OTHER, THAT, YOU KNOW, THERE, THERE MIGHT, WE HAVE TO DO SOMETHING SOONER THAN LATER. 
          UM, SO I DON'T KNOW IF THERE IS KIND OF LIKE, UH, AN OPPORTUNITY TO, TO WORK TOGETHER ON, ON THAT AS WELL. 
          ALWAYS, OR TO START. 
          AND SINCE WE KNOW THAT THERE'S THIS NEXT COMING DECADE IS NEXT ONE, UM, I ITEM THAT I LEFT DOWN, I WAS WONDERING HOW YOU, UM, COLLECTED THIS ON THE IMPACT REPORT ON PAGE 100, YOU, UM, LOOK AT ACCESS TO INTERNET AND IT LOOKS KIND OF LIKE COUNCILWOMAN SANDOVAL. 
          TO HER POINT, IT LOOKS NICER THAN I, I THINK IN ACTUALITY IT ACTUALLY IS, BUT I COULD BE WRONG. 
          UM, AND SO I'M WONDERING IF YOU LOOKED AT ACCESS TO INTERNET BY COUNCIL DISTRICT, I KNOW A FEW DAYS AGO THERE WAS A STORY, UM, ABOUT ACCESS TO INTERNET, AND THIS MAKES IT LOOK NICER THAN I THINK THE REALITY IS. 
          ABSOLUTELY. 
          IT'S AN AGGREGATE. 
          WE DO HAVE IT, THE BREAKDOWN BY COUNCIL DISTRICT. 
          IT'LL BE IN THE PRO IN THE PROFILES. 
          SO THAT'S WHAT I'M WANTING TO SEE. 
          BUT THAT'S IT. 
          THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR EVERYTHING THAT YOU ALL DO. 
          THANK YOU, MAYOR. 
          THANK YOU. 
          COUNCIL MEMBER ROCHA GARCIA, COUNCIL MEMBER TREVINO. 
          THANK YOU MAYOR. 
          UH, THANK YOU GUYS. 
          THIS, THIS IS REALLY, IT'S, IT'S WONDERFUL INFORMATION. 
          UM, BUT I'M GONNA KIND OF PIGGYBACK ON A COUPLE OF COMMENTS ALREADY THAT WERE, THAT WERE SAID, UH, IN FACT, I'M GONNA REQUEST THAT THAT SA 2020 AND AND SA SPEAK UP REALLY WORKED TOGETHER BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, QUITE FRANKLY, IT SEEMS LIKE WE LISTEN TO SA SPEAK UP WHEN IT COMES TO THE BUDGET PROCESS, AND WE'VE NOT BROUGHT SA 2020 TO THE BUDGET PROCESS. 
          SO I, YOU KNOW, I'M JUST TELLING YOU THAT'S, THAT'S MY PERCEPTION. 
          UH, I THINK THAT, UH, THIS IS GOOD INFORMATION TO, TO HELP SHAPE THE POLICY. 
          AND SO, UH, I GUESS IT'S, IT'S KIND OF A, A SIMPLE QUESTION IN THAT IT, YOU FEEL THAT THE CITY DEPARTMENTS HAVE TAKEN THIS DATA TO HEART OVER THE, OVER THE YEARS. 
          UM, TAKE YOUR TIME. 
          YEAH. 
          I THINK THE CHALLENGE CONSISTENTLY WITH A, WITH SOMETHING LIKE THIS PARTICULAR REPORT IS, UH, IT SHOULD BE 
          [01:30:01]
UTILIZED TO HELP YOU SHIFT YOUR PROGRAMS AND YOUR EFFORTS AND YOUR RESOURCES, UM, IN A MACHINE AS BIG AS THE CITY OF SAN ANTONIO, RIGHT? YOU HAVE MULTIPLE DEPARTMENTS NOT ONLY CONTRIBUTING DATA, BUT THEN ALSO TAKING THE DATA AND EITHER UTILIZING THEM OR TAKING IT TO HEART. 
          I'LL BE COMPLETELY HONEST, THERE'S A, A, A PLAY HERE, RIGHT? THAT IS BOTH, UM, IF CITY COUNCIL IS NOT PRIORITIZING THE COMMUNITY VISION, UM, AND SAYING, HEY, HOW ARE WE MOVING THE NEEDLE ON THE INFORMATION THAT'S INSIDE THIS REPORT, THEN I DON'T KNOW HOW CITY DEPARTMENTS WHO ARE TAKING POLICY DIRECTION, UH, CAN INTEGRATE THE, THE WORK INTO THEIR STUFF. 
          NOW, I, I'M LITERALLY HAVE A VERY SPEC LIKE, MONTHLY MEETING IN THE CITY MANAGER'S OFFICE WITH JOHN PATEK. 
          HE KNOWS THE THINGS THAT ARE GOING ON. 
          WE KNOW THE THINGS THAT ARE GOING ON WITHIN THE CITY. 
          BUT I THINK THERE'S A, UM, I, I'M, THAT'S WHY WE WERE SORT OF VIGOROUSLY NODDING WHEN COUNCILWOMAN SANDOVAL WAS TALKING. 
          WE'RE LIKE, YEAH, IF YOU'RE, IF YOU'RE ELEVATING, HEY, HOW ARE WE DOING THIS WORK INSIDE OUR CITY AGENCY OR ORGANIZATION? HOW ARE WE DELIVERING QUALITY CITY SERVICES TOWARD A VISION OF PROSPERITY? THEN THE CITY DEPARTMENTS THEN INTEGRATE THE WORK HERE, RIGHT? I THINK THERE WAS A CHALLENGE WHEN, UH, WE HAVE HAD, NOW WE'RE ON OUR THIRD ADMINISTRATION. 
          SO I THINK THERE'S ALSO A, LIKE A, A, UM, A SHIFTING OF ARE WE, ARE WE STILL DOING THESE PRIORITIES? AND WE ARE SAYING, YEAH, I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY WE WOULDN'T, IT'S A COMMUNITY'S AGENDA. 
          SO I THINK IT'S PARTIALLY US SAYING, HEY, UM, IT IT HAS TO BE ELEVATED ACROSS THE BOARD. 
          AND IF YOU'RE SETTING POLICY AND BUDGET, UM, THEN OF COURSE THE CITY WOULD INTEGRATE ALL THE WORK INTO THEIR BUDGETS AND RIGHT. 
          BUT IF THEIR FEELING AS THOUGH MAYBE IT'S NOT AS ELEVATED, BUT DO YOU, DO YOU SEE IT HAPPENING AS A QUESTION? I THINK IN SOME CASES IT IS. 
          YEAH. 
          SO, I MEAN, I THINK, SO I, I DID A DASHBOARD MYSELF IN MY COMMITTEE AND, AND I'LL TELL YOU THAT, THAT, UM, THIS IS THE HARD PART. 
          THIS IS, UH, YOU KNOW, AS YOU CAN SEE, A LOT OF COUNCIL MEMBERS ARE ASKING QUESTIONS ABOUT, OKAY, HERE'S SOME DATA AND WHAT DO WE DO WITH THIS DATA? AND IS IT BEING IMPLEMENTED? BECAUSE BOTTOM LINE IS, IF YOU CAN POINT TO THE HILL, AS OUR CITY MANAGER WOULD SAY, AND WE DON'T DO ANYTHING TO TAKE THAT HILL, THEN WHAT ARE WE DOING WITH THIS INFORMATION? MM-HMM. 
          . 
          SO I DID A, A, A DASHBOARD OF MY OWN TO ASK WHERE ARE WE ON OUR ROOF PROGRAM, FOR EXAMPLE, THAT I'VE GROWN OVER THE YEARS FROM JUST $200,000 TO $5.3 MILLION. 
          AND, YOU KNOW, WE'RE ALMOST HALFWAY THROUGH OUR FISCAL YEAR AND WE'RE ONLY AT 9% OF THAT. 
          AND WITHOUT CHECKING THESE THINGS, I MEAN, IS THAT A COUNCIL ISSUE? AND, AND, YOU KNOW, SO, YOU KNOW, WE TALK ABOUT, LIKE, FOR EXAMPLE, WALKABILITY. 
          UM, SO IS OUR CITY WALKABLE IN GENERAL? RIGHT? AND WE, SO YOU COUPLE THAT WITH THE GAPS IN MILES THAT WE HAVE FOR SIDEWALKS, AND DO PEOPLE UNDERSTAND THAT, UH, IN THE NEXT CONVERSATION, FOR EXAMPLE, WE'RE GONNA BE TALKING ABOUT U D C AMENDMENTS, AND I'M GONNA BRING UP THE FACT THAT WE, WE HAVE A A U D C CODE CALLED 29 11 THAT BASICALLY SAYS, SIDEWALKS ARE YOUR PROBLEM. 
          BUT WE KEEP TALKING ABOUT THE FACT THAT, HEY, CITY WANTS A MORE WALKABLE, CITY, WANTS MORE, MORE SIDEWALKS. 
          AND I SAY, SPEAK UP. 
          NUMBER ONE, THE ISSUE IS SIDEWALKS, RIGHT? BUT WE'RE NOT CONNECTING THOSE DOTS. 
          AND IT'S, IT'S NOT BECAUSE THE CITY COUNCIL DOESN'T WANT TO MAKE THE CITY MORE WALKABLE, AND YOU'RE INDICATING IT IN YOUR DATA. 
          UH, I MEAN, I THINK YOU'VE BEEN ASKED SEVERAL TIMES, WHAT'S THE PLAN OF ACTION? HOW DO WE, HOW DO WE DO THIS? MM-HMM. 
          . 
          EXACTLY. 
          I MEAN, I THINK THAT'S, I THINK THAT'S THE POINT, YOU KNOW, IS IT, IS IT, IT, IT'S, I THINK WE'RE ALL, I SHOULD SAY, WELL, I'M A LITTLE CONFUSED IN THAT IT FEELS LIKE THERE, SOME OF THESE INDICATORS SHOW THAT WE'RE NOT REALLY, WE CAN POINT TO SOME ASPIRATIONAL THINGS THAT WE WANT TO DO, BUT WE'RE NOT QUITE DOING IT. 
          YEAH. 
          I THINK THERE'S A CONVERSATION TO BE HAD INTERNALLY IN EVERY SINGLE ORGANIZATION. 
          HOW IS THE WORK THAT WE'RE DOING TODAY MOVING THE NEEDLE ON THE COMMUNITY VISION PERIOD, FULL STOP. 
          MOST PEOPLE DON'T FULLY UNDERSTAND HOW THE CITY WORKS. 
          AND SO WHEN ASKED VERY SIMPLE QUESTIONS, YOU'RE GONNA GET VERY SIMPLE ANSWERS. 
          AND I THINK AT THE HEART OF THIS IS A LEVEL OF UNDERSTANDING THAT, AS YOU POINTED OUT, IT'S A VERY COMPLEX CITY ORGANIZATION. 
          LOTS OF THINGS ARE HAPPENING. 
          AND IT'S, IT'S, I THINK WE'VE GOTTA TRY TO FIGURE, FIGURE OUT HOW WE ACTUALLY GET TO SOME OF THE ANSWERS, 
          [01:35:01]
THE VERY SPECIFIC ANSWERS THAT, THAT LEAD TO SOME, SOME OF THESE OUTCOMES THAT WE'D LIKE. 
          AND IN THE BACK, WE HAVE SPANISH TRANSLATION. 
          THEY DIDN'T EXIST THERE BEFORE 2016. 
          AND, YOU KNOW, SOMEBODY WOULD SAY, WELL, THEY'RE OUT, THEY'RE BACK THERE TRANSLATING WORDS. 
          NO, THEY'RE BACK THERE TRANSLATING MEANING, RIGHT? BECAUSE IN THE END, IT'S NOT JUST, YOU KNOW, A WORD BEING TRANSLATED INTO SPANISH, BUT DOES THE PERSON IN THIS ROOM OR WHOEVER'S WATCHING UNDERSTAND WHAT WE'RE SAYING AND UNDERSTAND WHAT, WHAT THE ISSUE IS? AND, AND SO I, I JUST, I THINK, I THINK AT THE HEART OF THIS IS, IS THAT WE GOTTA CONNECT SOME OF THESE DOTS. 
          UM, YOU KNOW, I THINK THERE'S A LOT OF US ON COUNCIL THAT LIKE TO SEE MORE ACTION. 
          UM, I FOR ONE, UH, YOU KNOW, HAVE, HAVE, UH, YOU KNOW, BEEN ASKING TO, TO MEASURE OUR OUTCOMES SO THAT WE CAN REALLY DO THE THINGS THAT WE'RE SAYING IN THIS DOCUMENT. 
          UM, YOU KNOW, IN YOUR ARTS AND CULTURE TAB, WE TALK ABOUT INCREASE FUNDING FOR THE, FOR ARTS AND CULTURE INCREASE, WE WE'RE, WE'RE CHECK MARK ON THE INCREASED ATTENDANCE FOR ARTS AND CULTURE INCREASE THE ECONOMIC IMPACT OF THE CREATIVE SECTOR. 
          UM, AND IT'S, AND IN SOME OF THE, AS I READ THROUGH THIS, UH, THE ONE THING THAT THAT IS MISSING THAT WE JUST RECENTLY, UH, DID A, A COUPLE OF, UH, UH, UH, MEETINGS FOR WITH, UH, WHICH, WHICH WAS, UH, FUNDING FOR INDIVIDUAL ARTIST GRANTS. 
          AND, UH, DEBBIE DID A GREAT, DEBBIE AND HER TEAM DID A GREAT JOB OF, OF PUTTING THIS TOGETHER. 
          BUT WE LEARNED QUICKLY HOW, HOW LITTLE MONEY WE PUT INTO THAT. 
          AND YET, YOU, YOU BACK UP ABOUT SIX MONTHS AGO, AND WE WERE TALKING ABOUT A TICKETMASTER CONTRACT, AND WE ASKED THE DEPARTMENT, HEY, DO WE NEED MORE MONEY? NO, WE DON'T NEED MORE MONEY. 
          THOSE THINGS CONFLICT WITH ONE ANOTHER, RIGHT? AND, AND SO I JUST, I THINK, YOU KNOW, WE USE THE WORD TRANSPARENT. 
          I WAS TRYING TO COUNT HOW MANY TIMES WE USED THE WORD TRANSPARENT. 
          UH, BUT WE ALSO HAVE TO BE HONEST, RIGHT? AND I THINK THAT'S ANOTHER KEY ELEMENT TO HOW WE GET TO OUR OUTCOMES. 
          UH, YOU KNOW, I WANNA PUSH FOR, FOR OBVIOUSLY FOR TRANSPARENCY, BUT LET'S, LET'S BE HONEST WITH WHAT WE'RE REALLY DOING. 
          AND, AND THE FACT THAT, THAT WE'RE, WE'RE, WE'RE KIND OF FALLING BEHIND ON THE WAY WE IMPLEMENT SOME OF THESE, UM, GOALS. 
          UM, SO, UH, YOU KNOW, AGAIN, YOU KNOW, I APPRECIATE THIS WORK. 
          I JUST, I WANTED, I, I THINK WE NEED TO TIE IT IN A LOT BETTER WITH SA SPEAKUP, UH, BECAUSE WE'VE USED THAT, UH, YEAR AFTER YEAR IN THE, IN THE GOAL SETTING FOR OUR BUDGET. 
          I'D LIKE TO SEE, YOU KNOW, MORE OF THIS REALLY SORT OF DEMONSTRATE, UH, SORT OF A, A HIGHER LEVEL OF, OF, UM, COORDINATION WHEN IT COMES TO OUR GOALS. 
          THANK YOU, MAYOR. 
          THANK YOU. 
          COUNCIL MEMBER TREVINO. 
          COUNCIL MEMBER PERRY. 
          THANK YOU, SIR. 
          UH, MOLLY, THANK Y'ALL VERY MUCH FOR SURE. 
          APPRECIATE THE PRESENTATION. 
          UH, AND I APPRECIATE YOU COMING INTO MY OFFICE TO KIND OF GIVE ME A PRE-BRIEF ON THAT. 
          WHAT WAS, WHAT'S ALWAYS BEEN MY NUMBER ONE, I, I WOULD SAY MANTRA HERE ON THE DAIS. 
          YES. 
          RETURN ON INVESTMENT. 
          MM-HMM. 
          . 
          AND, YOU KNOW, I'M, I'M LOOKING AT THIS AND I'M, I'M NOT GETTING A, A CLEAR PICTURE ON WHAT THE INVESTMENT IS ON EACH ONE OF THESE CATEGORIES. 
          SO I WOULD LIKE TO SEE, AND, AND SOME OF IT IS CITY FUNDED. 
          SOME OF IT MAY BE STATE FUNDED, SOME OF IT MIGHT BE FEDERAL FUNDED, FEDERALLY FUNDED, BUT I DON'T KNOW WHAT KIND OF BUDGETS WE'RE TALKING ABOUT. 
          ALL THESE NON-PROFITS THAT ARE PART OF YOUR TEAM, THEY ALL HAVE BUDGETS, THEY ALL HAVE, UM, THEY SPEND A LOT OF MONEY OUT THERE AS NONPROFITS TO EXECUTE THESE PROGRAMS. AND IT WOULD BE GREAT TO SEE THAT CONGLOMERATION OF, YOU KNOW, WHO'S FUNDING WHAT TO THAT PARTICULAR AREA. 
          BECAUSE TO A LOT OF EVERYBODY'S POINTS UP HERE, WE, WE DEVELOP THIS BUDGET EVERY YEAR. 
          THAT, TO ME, THAT'S OUR MOST IMPORTANT ISSUE TO TAKE CARE OF EVERY YEAR. 
          WHAT'S THE BUDGET? WHERE ARE OUR RESOURCES GONNA BE GOING? MM-HMM. 
          . 
          SO IT WOULD BE GREAT TO SEE WHERE, WHERE WE COULD MOVE OUR RESOURCES TO, AGAIN, GO TO WHAT PRIORITIES THAT THE CITY COUNCIL FEELS. 
          BECAUSE TO MY COLLEAGUE'S POINT, AT THE END OF THE DAY, UM, IT'S ALL ABOUT MONEY AND WHERE THE 
          [01:40:01]
PRIORITIES ARE. 
          MM-HMM. 
          , YOU KNOW, I HEAR THAT IT'S NOT ALL ABOUT MONEY, BUT I, AT THE END OF THE DAY, I THINK THAT'S WHAT IT IS. 
          AND, UM, WHETHER IT'S MONEY OR SOMEBODY VOLUNTEERING THEIR TIME OR WHATEVER, THERE'S STILL RESOURCES OF, UH, BEING SPENT ON THAT. 
          SO IT WOULD BE GREAT TO GET THOSE CATEGORIZED IN THOSE BUDGET AREAS THAT WE'RE TRYING TO SEE. 
          IS THE NEEDLE MOVING IN A LOT OF THESE CASES? IT ISN'T. 
          BUT HOW, HOW MANY RESOURCES ARE BEING EXPENDED TO THAT? AND OUR, WE'VE GOT A BRAND NEW COMMITTEE THAT COUNCILMAN TREVINO CHAIRS CALLED THE, UH, CULTURAL AND NEIGHBORHOOD SERVICES COMMITTEE. 
          UM, I THINK WHAT YOU'RE DOING FITS EXACTLY INTO THAT, INTO THAT COMMITTEE. 
          AND THERE WAS A, A, A REPORT GIVEN AND A STATUS. 
          IT, IT WAS ON THE, UH, UM, THE ECONOMIC, OUR, OUR, WHICH REPORT WAS THAT POVERTY REPORT? YEAH. 
          IT WAS UP THERE SOMEWHERE, UH, THE POVERTY REPORT. 
          AND IT SHOWED THAT THE LINE WAS INCREASING, YOU KNOW, LINES GOING IN THE WRONG DIRECTION, JUST LIKE A LOT OF THESE LINES. 
          BUT THERE WAS AN INTERESTING DATA POINT. 
          UH, IT WAS JUST, JUST A FIGURE, $454 MILLION BEING EXPENDED HERE IN THIS CITY TO DO SOMETHING FOR FOLKS TO IMPROVE THEIR LOT IN LIFE. 
          MM-HMM. 
          , THAT'S A LOT OF MONEY. 
          SO I ASK FOR THAT TO BE CATEGORIZED WHERE THAT, WHERE THAT MONEY IS ACTUALLY GOING TO, AND ARE WE SPENDING IT IN THE RIGHT PLACES, JUST TO YOUR POINT, ARE WE SPENDING OUR RESOURCES IN THE RIGHT PLACE? SO I'D LIKE TO SEE Y'ALL BE MORE INTEGRATED WITH THAT COMMITTEE WITH A LOT OF THIS DATA SO THAT IT CAN STAY IN FRONT OF US. 
          AND, YOU KNOW, AGAIN, ARE WE AFFECTING THE PROGRAMS AT ALL? IF SOMETHING ISN'T WORKING OUT THERE, WHY ARE WE CONTINUING TO SPEND MONEY ON IT? HOW ABOUT MOVING SOME OF THAT RESOURCES TO THOSE AREAS THAT WE REALLY CAN MOVE THE NEEDLE ON? I, I ALWAYS ASK THE QUESTION, HOW MUCH IS ENOUGH? YOU KNOW, AT, AT, IN A LOT OF THESE PROGRAMS, YOU CAN CONTINUE TO INCREASE THE BUDGETS, BUT YOU'RE NOT GONNA, YOU'RE NOT GONNA MAKE ANY NOMINAL CHANGES IN WHERE THAT LINE IS GOING. 
          SO I THINK WE NEED TO DO A BETTER JOB TO IDENTIFY THOSE TOTAL RESOURCES. 
          AND WE CAN WORK FOR THIS AS A TEAM, BECAUSE WHAT ARE NONPROFITS OUT THERE FOR, TO BEGIN WITH, IS TO HELP THE CITY IN EXECUTING PROGRAMS AND TO PUT THE HELP WHERE IT NEEDS TO GO. 
          'CAUSE THE CITY, THE GOVERNMENT CAN'T FUND EVERYTHING. 
          THEY CAN'T DO EVERYTHING. 
          SO TO ME, THAT'S REALLY THE REASON THAT NONPROFITS EXIST, IS TO EXTEND WHAT THE GOVERNMENT IS TRYING TO DO. 
          SO THAT'S THE WAY I LOOK AT IT. 
          BUT AT THE END OF THE DAY, I, I, I, I HAVE TO SAY THAT IT'S ABOUT THE RESOURCES GOING INTO WHICH CATEGORIES AND WHAT ARE OUR PRIORITIES. 
          YOU CAN'T FUND 'EM ALL, AT LEAST NOT WITH TAXPAYER DOLLARS. 
          SO, UM, I WOULD REALLY LIKE TO SEE THAT IN THIS REPORT. 
          AND I, I JUST GOING THROUGH THE REPORT, UH, I WAS SEEING A LOT OF DATA FROM 2018. 
          WHEN CAN WE EXPECT TO GET THE 2019? BECAUSE WE'VE, WE'VE CONTINUED TO INVEST IN A LOT OF THESE PROGRAMS. MM-HMM. 
          . 
          SO WHEN WOULD WE BE GETTING THE RESULTS FROM 2019? SO IT DEPENDS ON THE DATA SOURCE, RIGHT? SO DATA DOESN'T MOVE LIKE WE MOVE, UM, SO WE'RE DOING THE 29. 
          I'M, I'M LAUGHING 'CAUSE IT'S LIKE THERE'S SOME IN HERE THAT'S FROM 2016. 
          IT'S WHEN THE DATA'S AVAILABLE. 
          YEAH. 
          RIGHT. 
          YEAH. 
          UM, SO UNFORTUNATELY, BECAUSE I, I THINK SOME OF THOSE, SOME OF THAT DATA IS, I HOPE THAT WE DON'T MAKE DECISIONS HERE BASED ON OLD DATA THAT'S NOT SHOWING WHAT'S REALLY HAPPENING OUT THERE. 
          YEAH. 
          I APPRECIATE THAT QUESTION. 
          'CAUSE WE GET IT A LOT. 
          IT'S LIKE, HEY, WE'RE MAKING A DECISION AND THE DATA'S NOT AVAILABLE EXCEPT FOR 2018. 
          AND WE'RE LIKE, GREAT, WHAT ARE YOU TRACKING? IN THE MEANTIME, IT WAS A CONVERSATION, UH, WE HAD AROUND IN, UH, INCOME SEGREGATION. 
          IT LOOKS LIKE IT'S GOING IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION. 
          DATA'S OLD, LIKE A YEAR OLD. 
          BUT IT LOOKS LIKE WE'RE STARTING TO DECREASE THE AMOUNT OF INCOME SEGREGATION WE HAVE IN OUR, OUR CITY. 
          IF YOU MADE A DECISION TODAY ON THAT ONE DATA POINT, WE WOULD COME BACK TO YOU AND SAY, DON'T, WHAT ARE YOU DOING? RIGHT? WHAT HAVE YOU BEEN TRACKING OVER THE COURSE OF THE LAST YEAR 
          [01:45:01]
TO TELL YOU THAT HEY, ACTUALLY EVICTIONS ARE DOWN. 
          ACTUALLY PEOPLE ARE STAYING IN THEIR HOMES AND NOT BEING DISPLACED. 
          RIGHT? SO QUARTERLY, WHAT ARE THE TYPES OF IT? IT BASICALLY GOES TO OUR WORK, AGAIN, WITH PARTNERS. 
          WHAT IS THE RESULT THAT WE'RE SEEKING TO ACHIEVE? WHY DO WE EVEN CARE ABOUT THIS RESULT? WHAT ARE THE OUTCOMES WE'RE TRYING TO ACHIEVE? KEEP PEOPLE IN HOMES, FOR EXAMPLE, RIGHT? THEN, WHAT IS THE DATA WE CURRENTLY HAVE? WHAT IS THE DATA AVAILABLE TO US? WHAT KIND OF DATA DO WE NEED TO BE TRACKING IF WE DON'T ALREADY HAVE IT RIGHT? HOW CAN WE FIGURE OUT IF IT'S ACTUALLY MOVING? AND THEN, THEN WE MOVE INTO WHAT ARE THE PERFORMANCE METRICS? DO WE WANNA DECREASE THE AMOUNT OF PEOPLE WHO ARE BEING EVICTED? DO WE WANNA DECREASE THE AMOUNT OF PEOPLE BEING DISPLACED? CAN WE TRACK THAT QUARTERLY? WHAT ARE WE DOING ABOUT THAT? AND THEN WE CREATE A PLAN, RIGHT? SO YOU'RE SPEAKING EXACTLY TO SORT OF WHAT WE WOULD SAY IS, OH, WE, IT'S LITERALLY HOW WE OPENED IT. 
          THIS IS A SNAPSHOT THAT SHOULD ALLOW YOU TO UNDERSTAND, ARE WE MOVING CLOSER TO OR FURTHER AWAY FROM THIS RESULT WE'RE SEEKING, WE MOVING CLOSER TO OR FURTHER AWAY FROM THE HILL, I GUESS I WILL USE THAT WE SEE IN THE, UH, HORIZON. 
          AND IN THE PROCESS OF THAT, HOW ARE WE TRACKING WHETHER OR NOT, HEY, WE'RE JUST GONNA GET ANNUAL REPORTS, SO HOW ARE WE TRACKING IN BETWEEN THERE? ARE WE MOVING AT ALL? IT'S THIS INCREMENTAL CHANGE THAT, THAT GOES TO. 
          OUTCOMES TAKE LONGER, RIGHT? SEEING PEOPLE'S LIVES SHIFT, SEEING UNDERSTANDING MOVES, SEEING ACTIONS CHANGE, SEEING CONDITIONS CHANGE, TAKE TIME. 
          BUT IN THE PROCESS OF THAT, THERE ARE PERFORMANCE METRICS. 
          THERE ARE THINGS THAT WE COULD BE MEASURING TO SEE. 
          YEP. 
          WE'RE MOVING CLOSER TO THAT. 
          THAT'S GREAT. 
          AND, AND METRICS IS PART OF THAT STORY ON, ON SHOWING WHERE YOU'RE GOING AND, UM, ARE YOU ACCOMPLISHING YOUR MISSION? MM-HMM. 
          . 
          SO AGAIN, WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO SEE THE TOTAL PICTURE, NOT JUST OF CITY, STATE AND FEDERAL FUNDING. 
          WHAT ARE ALL OF OUR PARTNERS, OUR PARTNERS, NONPROFITS OUT THERE, WHAT ARE THEY FUNDING AS WELL? HOW MUCH RESOURCES ARE THEY PUTTING INTO THOSE AREAS? THAT WAY WE CAN GET A BIGGER PICTURE AND SAY, OKAY, YEAH, MAYBE WE NEED TO SHIFT THIS AROUND TO THIS, THIS HIGHER PRIORITY. 
          IF YOU PRIORITIZE EVERYTHING ONE TO 10, YOU KNOW, DO YOU WANT TO FOCUS IN MORE ON NUMBER ONE? OR DO YOU NEED TO SHIFT THE PRIORITIES AROUND, YOU KNOW, IT'S BASIC BUDGETING. 
          YEAH. 
          SO IS WHAT I'M SAYING. 
          AND, AND THAT'S, THAT'S REALLY WHAT, WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO SEE THE TOTAL PICTURE ON. 
          SO WE'VE GOT, WE CAN ONLY GIVE YOU THE PICTURE ON THE INFORMATION WE RECEIVE, RIGHT? YES, ABSOLUTELY. 
          SO WE HAVE 144 NONPROFIT PARTNERS ON PAGE 11 OF OUR IMPACT REPORT FOR OUR NONPROFIT PARTNERS. 
          IT SHOWS YOU THEIR BUDGET SIZES. 
          UH, IT'LL ALSO SHOW YOU, IF YOU GO TO PAGE, LEMME MAKE SURE I'VE GOT THE BUDGET FROM THEM, IS, UM, SORRY, LEMME FLIP IT THROUGH. 
          OH YEAH, THAT IS, IT'S PAGE 11 IS THEIR BUDGET SIZE. 
          WE KNOW THAT IT'S ABOUT 2.1. 
          IS IT BILLION DOLLARS OVER THE COURSE OF ONE YEAR THAT AN ORGANIZATION THAT 144 NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS GET IN REVENUE? IF YOU LOOK AT SOMETHING LIKE ARTS AND CULTURE, WE'RE ON PAGE 17 OF THE REPORT. 
          IT'S, SORRY, HERE WE GO. 
          $1.2 BILLION IN REVENUE AND 1 BILLION IN EXPENSES, WHICH IS ON PAGE 10 OF THE REPORT. 
          THAT'S 144 PARTNERS, NONPROFIT AGENCIES. 
          THAT'S THAT'S AWESOME. 
          THAT'S, THAT'S PART OF THE PICTURE THAT I'M YEAH. 
          THAT I'M ASKING FOR THE THE BUDGETS. 
          YEAH. 
          BUT WHAT PROGRAM, WHAT PROGRAMS ARE BEING SUPPORTED BY EACH ONE OF THOSE BUDGETS? AND YOU KNOW, IF IT'S IN THERE, GREAT. 
          I I HAVEN'T HAD A CHANCE TO LOOK AT IT. 
          YEAH, SURE. 
          BUT THAT NEEDS TO BE LAID OUT VERY PLAINLY. 
          SO IT PAINTS A PICTURE FOR US TO SEE WHERE WE WANT TO PUT OUR RE RESOURCES TOWARDS AND HOW MUCH, AGAIN, OUR NONPROFIT PARTNERS ARE VERY, VERY IMPORTANT TO THIS CITY. 
          AND $1.2 BILLION, THAT'S A HECK OF A LOT OF MONEY THAT'S GOING TO DIFFERENT PROGRAMS HERE. 
          YEAH. 
          AND I WOULD EVEN VENTURE RIGHT, THE CITY IS ONLY FUNDING 51% OF THOSE. 
          SO I THINK THERE'S A, I I WANNA MAKE SURE THAT WE DON'T SLIP INTO, AND I, I DON'T THINK THAT YOU ARE, I JUST WANNA MAKE SURE WE SAY IT LOUDLY FOR OTHERS. 
          THIS IS NOT ABOUT, UH, DOLLAR FOR DOLLAR, RIGHT? IT'S WHAT ARE THE RESULTS WE'RE SEEKING TO CHANGE? EXACTLY. 
          HOW ARE WE CHANGING OUTCOMES? HOW ARE THE DOLLARS WE ARE DELIVERING IN RESOURCE, ULTIMATELY MOVING THE NEEDLE ON THOSE OUTCOMES AND THEN FURTHER TO THE COMMUNITY RESULTS? I GET IT. 
          COMPLETELY. 
          YEAH. 
          AND, AND THAT'S WHERE I'M GOING FROM AGAIN, WHAT'S OUR RETURN ON INVESTMENT MM-HMM. 
          , WHETHER, WHETHER IT'S BEING CITY FUNDED OR INTERNALLY FUNDED BY THOSE NONPROFITS. 
          YEAH. 
          WHAT ARE THOSE OUTCOMES? AND THAT, THAT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO ME THAT WE'VE GOT A LOT, AGAIN, WE GOT A LOT OF ARROWS THAT ARE GOING IN THE WRONG DIRECTION. 
          ARE THEY GETTING THE RESOURCES OR ARE THEY NOT SPINNING 
          [01:50:01]
'EM IN THE RIGHT PLACES? WHERE DO WE WANT TO REPRIORITIZE OUR RESOURCES? SO THAT'S WHAT I'M GETTING AT MOLLY. 
          MAKES SENSE. 
          AND I WANNA, YOU KNOW, I'D LIKE TO SIT DOWN WITH YOU AND MAYBE WE CAN COME UP WITH ANOTHER WAY TO DISPLAY THAT INFORMATION MM-HMM. 
          , TO MAKE IT MORE CLEAR TO US WHAT OUR PARTNERS ARE FUNDING OUT THERE AS WELL, AS WELL AS OUR OWN RESOURCES AND FEDERAL AND STATE RES RESOURCES. 
          GREAT. 
          MAKES SENSE. 
          UH, LEMME JUST MAKE SURE. 
          YEP. 
          THAT'S IT. 
          GREAT. 
          THANK Y'ALL VERY MUCH. 
          APPRECIATE IT. 
          THANK YOU, SIR. 
          THANK YOU. 
          COUNCIL MEMBER PERRY, COUNCIL MEMBER POLITE. 
          HI, MOLLY. 
          THANK YOU SO MUCH. 
          THANKS FOR YOU AND YOUR TEAM FOR ALL THE HARD WORK. 
          UH, I THINK THIS REPORT IS EXCELLENT. 
          UM, RARELY DO WE GET EXCELLENT, YOU KNOW, IN ITS PUREST FORM. 
          AND THIS IS REALLY, REALLY, REALLY EXCELLENT. 
          I'M SO IMPRESSED BY THIS. 
          AND, UH, THANK YOU FOR THAT. 
          THE, THE, THE ISSUE THAT I, I WANNA TALK ABOUT IS THE, UH, ENGAGEMENT SIDE, THE PAGE 25 AND ON, AND I, I'M SURE YOU HAVE IT MEMORIZED AND YOU DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT IT. 
          THE, UH, I HAVE A, UH, BEFORE THIS MEETING, I, I HAD A LONG CONVERSATION WITH A REPORTER WHO'S DOING A STORY ON CIVIC ENGAGEMENT AND PARTICULARLY DIVERSITY ON OUR BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS. 
          AND I UNDERSTAND SOME OF OUR OTHER COUNCIL MEMBERS HAVE, HAVE HAD A CHANCE TO TALK TO HER, UH, ABOUT PARTICULARLY WHY IT IS THAT, YOU KNOW, A CITY WITH 64% LATINO POPULATION HAS, YOU KNOW, FEWER LATINOS, THE NON-LATINOS ON ITS BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS AND, YOU KNOW, IS THAT PROBLEMATIC? AND, UH, YOU KNOW, WE WERE KIND OF TALKING THROUGH IT AND SHE ASKED ME, YOU KNOW, HOW ARE YOU GONNA SOLVE FOR THAT? RIGHT? AND MY, MY RESPONSE TO HER WAS, , I'LL SOLVE FOR THAT AFTER WE SOLVE FOR INCREASING THE NUMBER OF APPLICANTS THAT WE GET. 
          RIGHT? UM, THE, THE PROBLEM THAT I'VE GOT, AND I THINK MY BOARD MEMBERS, MY, MY OTHER COLLEAGUES UP HERE ON THE DAAS HAVE, IS THAT, UM, IT, WE DON'T OFTENTIMES HAVE THE LUXURY OF PICKING AND CHOOSING FROM MULTIPLE CANDIDATES FOR BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS, RIGHT? SOMETIMES WE ADVERTISE THE VACANCY FOR, YOU KNOW, FOR A LONG TIME UNTIL SOMEBODY SHOWS UP AND SAYS, HEY, I'D LIKE TO BE ON YOUR BOARD AND COMMISSION. 
          RIGHT? AND, YOU KNOW, I DON'T HAVE THE LUXURY OF BEING LIKE, HEY, YOU KNOW, I'M REALLY SORRY I WAS SAVING THAT FOR A LATINA FEMALE WHO RENTS AND HAPPENS TO BE A VETERAN, WHATEVER, RIGHT? UH, AND CHECKS OFF, YOU KNOW, OUR DIVERSITY BOXES. 
          AND SO I, I DO THINK THAT OFTENTIMES LOOKING AT, YOU KNOW, THE DIVERSITY BOXES, UM, IS A LUXURY, UH, IF WE'RE NOT INCREASING THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE WHO JUST SHOW UP TO APPLY TO BEGIN WITH, RIGHT? AND I DON'T KNOW, PICK YOUR ROOT CAUSE, UH, FOR THAT PROBLEM. 
          BUT I DON'T SEE HERE, AND MAYBE I'M, MAYBE I MISSED IT. 
          PROBABLY I MISSED IT, RIGHT? BUT AN ANALYSIS OF HOW IT IS THAT WE INCREASE THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE WHO COME AND APPLY. 
          I MEAN, I KNOW THAT COUNCILWOMAN SANDOVAL HAS MADE THIS ONE OF HER IMPORTANT, UM, THEMES DURING, YOU KNOW, THESE PAST THREE, ALMOST THREE YEARS THAT WE'VE BEEN UP HERE, WHICH IS WE NEED TO DIVERSIFY AND WE NEED MORE PEOPLE. 
          BUT I, I DON'T KNOW IF YOU HAVE ANY SUGGESTIONS TO GIVE US ON HOW TO SOLVE FOR THAT. 
          YEAH, SURE. 
          WE, UM, AS YOU SAW RIGHT IN THE REPORT, WE ALSO LOOKED CLOSELY AS WE DO IN INFORMING THE NARRATIVE THAT FALLS UNDER EACH OF THESE INDICATORS, RIGHT? SO WE'RE LOOKING AT WHAT THE OFFICE OF INNOVATION WAS PRODUCING FORWARD AND SHOWING, UM, THAT AS WE WROTE INTO THIS NARRATIVE THAT THE APPOINTMENTS WERE CONSISTENT WITH APPLICATIONS, RIGHT? MEANING THAT FOLKS BY RACE AND GENDER, UM, WERE BEING APPOINTED AT THE SAME RATE AT WHICH THEY ARE APPLYING. 
          UM, I THINK THE QUESTION THAT YOU'RE BRINGING FORWARD IS THE SAME QUESTION, UM, THAT WE'RE ELEVATING AROUND CIVIC ENGAGEMENT AND HOW CAN WE MAKE SURE WHETHER IN OUR OWN PROCESSES AND THEN WHAT OUR PARTNER ORGANIZATIONS AS WELL THAT WE'RE REMOVING THE BARRIERS TO SERVICE. 
          UM, AND HOW ARE WE DOING THAT IN SUCH A WAY THAT BUILDS TRUST WITH COMMUNITY? SO WHAT IS THE PROCESS RIGHT NOW? UM, HOW ARE WE MAKING SURE THAT THE BARRIERS TO SERVICE EVEN THAT WE UNDER FULLY UNDERSTAND WHAT THOSE BARRIERS TO SERVICE MIGHT BE FOR PEOPLE OF COLOR OR FOR WOMEN OR MORE SPECIFICALLY WOMEN OF COLOR. 
          UM, AND THEN EVEN SOMETHING AS SIMPLE AS THE APPLICATION PROCESS, RIGHT? HOW ARE FOLKS ABLE TO ACCESS THE APPLICATION AND COMPLETE IT? UM, WHAT IS THE FEEDBACK LOOP OF INFORMATION? SO I, IT'S EVERY STEP OF THE, UM, EVERY STEP OF THE RECRUITMENT, ALL THE WAY THROUGH THE TRAINING AND APPOINTMENT PROCESS THAT WE WOULD SAY THAT THERE'S A QUESTIONING THAT NEEDS TO HAPPEN OF HOW DO WE REMOVE THOSE BARRIERS, WHETHER IT'S LANGUAGE OR A NEED FOR CHILDCARE OR IT'S TRANSPORTATION AND MOBILITY MIGHT AFFECT SOMEONE'S ABILITY TO SHOW UP. 
          AND SO MY MY CONCERN ALSO IS THERE'S NO SHORTAGE OF DEMOGRAPHIC BOXES TO CHECK, RIGHT? FOR, TO DETERMINE WHETHER OR NOT ONE'S SELECTIONS ARE DIVERSE OR THE, THE, THE MAKEUP OF THESE BOARDS ARE DIVERSE. 
          AND SO I APPRECIATE WANTING TO, YOU KNOW, MAKE SURE THAT WE'VE GOT AN EQUAL REPRESENTATION OF, YOU KNOW, FEMALES TO MALES, AND THAT WE'VE GOT, YOU KNOW, A, 
          [01:55:01]
AN ADDICT, YOU KNOW, A UH, ACCURATE CROSS SECTION OF SAN ANTONIO TO REFLECT THE NUMBER OF YOU KNOW, LATINOS OR LATINAS ON THIS BOARD. 
          BUT, YOU KNOW, IT ALSO CONCERNS ME THAT, UM, YOU KNOW, WE ALSO HAVE TO SOLVE FOR ELDERLY, YOU KNOW, MAKING SURE THAT WE'VE GOT ENOUGH ELDERLY FOLKS AND YOUNGER PEOPLE ON THESE BOARDS TOO, RIGHT? UH, 'CAUSE IT'S NOT JUST FOR ME, IT'S NOT JUST LET'S SOLVE FOR THE LATINO AND, YOU KNOW, IN THE CITIZEN ENGAGEMENT SPACE. 
          I MEAN, FOR ME, IT'S HOW DO I SOLVE FOR, UM, YOU KNOW, THAT PERSON WHO'S 20, YOU KNOW, WHO WE'RE NOT TALKING TO, WHO WE'RE NOT ENGAGING, THAT FOR ME IS EVEN MORE ALARMING, RIGHT? UH, AND THEN HOW DO I, YOU KNOW, BECAUSE THAT'S AN OPPORTUNITY THAT I'M MISSING TO FIND THE NEXT MOLLY COX, RIGHT? LIKE, WHERE IS THE NEXT MOLLY COX ? UH, AND, YOU KNOW, HOW DO I, UH, YOU KNOW, WHAT, HOW DO I TALK TO HER? RIGHT? WHERE'S SHE HIDING? HOW DO I GET HER TO PARTICIPATE? HOW DO I DEVELOP HER? AND SO, ANYWAY, GO AHEAD WITH THAT. 
          ALSO, I THINK YOU'RE POINTING TO THE INTERSECTION OF ALL OF THESE BOXES, RIGHT? YEAH. 
          THE, SO I'M A 35 YEAR OLD WOMAN OF COLOR THAT HAS NEVER OCCURRED TO ME THAT I COULD SERVE ON A CITY BOARDING COMMISSION. 
          AND HOW COME, RIGHT. 
          SO, AND WHAT ARE THE COMMITMENTS THAT ARE BEING ASKED IN ORDER TO SERVE, AND HOW DO THOSE ALIGN WITH MY INTEREST FOR SERVICE? SO YES, ABSOLUTELY. 
          SO, SO I'LL TELL YOU ALSO, AND MAYBE THIS IS OBVIOUS, BUT, YOU KNOW, THERE IS A, AN ORGANIZED EFFORT OUT THERE BY PEOPLE TO, YOU KNOW, CAST DOUBT ON THE INTENTIONS AND THE GOOD WORK, UH, THAT GOVERNMENT, YOU KNOW, HERE AT THIS LEVEL, DOESN'T MEAN YOU'VE GOT ENTIRE RA AM RADIO STATIONS WHO ALL DAY, EVERY DAY ARE JUST PUMPING OUT DOUBT YOUR GOVERNMENT HATE YOUR GOVERNMENT, RIGHT? AND BY THE WAY, THEY'RE KILLING YOU WITH CORONAVIRUS AND WHATEVER, RIGHT? UM, I MEAN, I'VE, I'VE SAT THROUGH TWO PRESS CONFERENCES WITH THE MAYOR THIS WEEK AND LAST, AND THE QUESTIONS THAT WE GET FROM THE MEDIA, IT'S LIKE, ARE YOU ROOTING FOR GOVERNMENT TO FAIL? RIGHT? AND THEN WHEN PEOPLE'S WORLDVIEW IS INFORMED BY MEDIA LIKE THAT, OF COURSE THEY'RE NOT GONNA WANT TO ENGAGE, RIGHT? AND SO THERE'S A TRUST CRISIS, WHICH IS DELIBERATELY BEING INFLAMED OUT THERE, RIGHT? UM, AND WE'RE COMPETING, UH, WITH OUR, YOU KNOW, EFFORTS TO TRY TO GET PEOPLE INTO THE TABLE. 
          BUT THOSE MEGAPHONES OUT THERE ARE MUCH, MUCH LOUDER THAN US. 
          AND SO, YOU KNOW, SPEAK UP SA AND THE WORK THAT YOU GUYS DO AND IS, IS REALLY AMAZING. 
          AND, UH, I, I THANK YOU FOR SHOWING UP HERE TODAY AND FOR SHOWING UP TO WORK EVERY SINGLE DAY AND DOING GOD'S WORK. 
          I, I, I CAN'T ADD ANYMORE, OTHER THAN, YOU KNOW, I, I REALLY AM DEPENDING ON YOU GUYS FOR SUGGESTIONS ON HOW TO IMPROVE THIS ENGAGEMENT PROBLEM. 
          'CAUSE I THINK THAT'S PROBABLY ONE OF OUR, THAT THAT PROBABLY IS THE BIGGEST PROBLEM THAT WE'VE GOTTEN UP HERE IN SAN ANTONIO. 
          YEAH. 
          THANK YOU FOR SAYING THAT. 
          IT, I THINK YOU'RE POINTING TO ALSO THE COLLABORATIVE SPACE OF HOW GOVERNMENT CAN RELY ON SA 2020 AS A NON INDEPENDENT NONPROFIT ORGANIZATION THAT IS BUILDING TRUST IN COMMUNITY AND ASKING THESE QUESTIONS, RIGHT? AND IN THAT WAY, AND HOW DATA IS BEING SHARED AND UTILIZED. 
          AND WE ALSO KNOW SIMILARLY, RIGHT? IN PROGRAMS LIKE OURS, LIKE THE BOARD GAME, WE'RE RESPONDING TO, UM, LOOKING AT THE DEMOGRAPHICS OF OUR NONPROFIT BOARDS AND SEEING THAT THEY ARE MAJORITY WHITE OR THEY'RE MAJORITY MEN, OR THEY'RE FOLKS, UM, OLDER THAN 40 AND OUTSIDE OF THE CITY LIMITS. 
          UM, AND IT'S NOT THAT WE DON'T WANT THOSE FOLKS TO SERVE, BUT WE WANNA REPRESENT THE COMMUNITY THAT WE SERVE IN SAN ANTONIO. 
          AND SO HOW CAN WE MAKE SURE THAT THERE'S RACIAL AND GENDER AND AGE DIVERSITY, UM, ACROSS THE BOARD. 
          AND SO OPPORTUNITIES TO WORK WITH COUNCIL MEMBERS ON STRENGTHENING PROGRAMS LIKE THE BOARD GAME, UM, SHOWS THE SIGNIFICANCE OF COLLABORATION IN THIS WORK. 
          THANK YOU FOR YOUR HARD WORK. 
          THANKS, MAYOR. 
          THANK YOU. 
          COUNCIL MEMBER PALAIS, COUNCIL MEMBER ANDREWS SULLIVAN. 
          THANKS, MAYOR. 
          UM, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE WORK THAT YOU ARE DOING, UM, AND ACTUALLY HAVING THE COMMUNITY GIVE THEIR, THEIR INPUT AND TAKE OWNERSHIP IN THE CITY THAT THEY LIVE IN. 
          UM, FOR ME, I GUESS WHERE I AM LOOKING IS NOT ONLY FOR THEM TO TAKE OWNERSHIP AND WHAT THEY SEE AS A PROBLEM OR WHAT'S LACKING OR MISSING, BUT WHAT IS THE ACTUAL SOLUTION DRIVEN QUANTITATIVE INFORMATION THAT IS BEING GIVEN TO EACH AND EVERY AREA? UM, WHEN IT COMES TO THE RECIDIVISM, I KNOW SPECIFICALLY WITHIN DISTRICT TWO, WE STARTED A PILOT PROGRAM, UM, THROUGH THE BUDGET PROCESS WHERE WE TOOK $25,000 AND WE'RE USING IT TO BRING IN DISTRICT, UM, SECOND CHANCE INDIVIDUALS TO HELP FIND OUT EXACTLY WHAT IS THE BARRIER. 
          AND IT IS NOT NORMALLY, OR IS IT JUST NECESSARILY EMPLOYMENT? IT'S A MINDSET. 
          SO WHERE ARE WE AND WHAT PARTNERS ARE WE COLLABORATING WITH THROUGH THE COMMUNITIES THAT FIRST TO TELL US OR SHOW US THE SOLUTION DRIVEN IDEA, AS WELL AS THE QUANTITATIVE IDEA OF WHAT THEY SEE AS THE PROBLEM. 
          UM, SO I, I THINK FOR ME, THAT'S THE PART THAT'S MISSING. 
          UM, AND THEN WHEN IT COMES TO THE CIVIC ENGAGEMENT, WE ALWAYS HEAR THAT THERE IS A MISTRUST IN THERE. 
          THEY'RE ELECTED OFFICIALS, AND WE DO WHAT WE CAN TO GET THE INFORMATION OUT TO THE 
          [02:00:01]
COMMUNITY AND PUSH AS MUCH INFORMATION OUT. 
          BUT WITH THE DIGITAL DIVIDE, SOMETIMES IT IS VERY DIFFICULT FOR US TO DO SO IN SOME OF OUR AREAS. 
          SO MY QUESTION TO YOU IS, WHEN WILL WE SEE THE QUANTITATIVE FEEDBACK THAT MIGHT CROSSFIT SOME OF THE PROBLEM AREAS THAT WE SEE WITHIN THE SA 2020 REPORT? YOU'RE ASKING WHEN WILL WE SEE THE SOLUTIONS OR LIKE, COMMUNITY ELEVATING SOLUTIONS AS WELL. 
          SO THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT WE'RE DOING THIS YEAR. 
          SO IN ANY OF OUR FORUMS, WE'RE CO-CREATING THAT. 
          WE'RE BASICALLY SAYING HERE, OVER THE COURSE OF THE LAST 10 YEARS, WE'VE CERTAINLY BEEN TRACKING AND SHOWING WHERE WE ARE RIGHT TOWARDS OUR COMMUNITY VISION. 
          CAN WE ALSO START DECIDING WHAT ARE THE THINGS THAT WE SHOULD BE ELEVATING AS STRATEGIES? UM, IF FOR EXAMPLE, ALAMO PROMISE IS SOMETHING THAT WE ARE COMMITTED TO AS A COMMUNITY, THEN HOW DO WE SORT OF BRING THAT BACK OUT TO THE COMMUNITY AND SAY, HERE'S WHERE WE STAND ON ALAMO PROMISE, AND HERE'S WHERE WE'RE FALLING SHORT, AND IT'S BECAUSE NO ONE'S FUNDING IT, RIGHT? OR WHATEVER, RIGHT? SO HOW THEN DO WE PUT THE SOLUTION BACK, UM, AND SAY, IF THIS WAS IMPORTANT TO YOU, HOW ARE WE DOING IT? UM, THAT'LL BE HAPPENING THROUGHOUT THE YEAR. 
          UH, AND WE'LL BE PUSHING THAT OUT, NOT ONLY, UM, AS WE DO, Y'ALL HAVE A TON OF STUFF IN YOUR INBOX RIGHT FROM US. 
          UM, BUT WE'LL BE PUSHING IT OUT VIA EMAIL IN PERSON. 
          WE WOULD HAPPILY TAKE MEETINGS, THIS KIND OF PRESENTATION SO THAT YOU CAN SEE THE INFORMATION IS ABSOLUTELY AVAILABLE TO YOU. 
          UM, YEAH, ANY WAY THAT WE CAN SHARE THE INFORMATION TO YOU SO THAT YOU CAN THEN FILTER IT DOWN TO, TO EVERY AND OUT AND OVER AND CROP. 
          YEAH, WE'RE IN. 
          AWESOME. 
          BECAUSE THAT LEADS ME TO MY, MY NEXT, UM, I KNOW I'VE BEEN KIND OF HITTING ERIC OVER THE HEAD WITH T V S A AND, AND PUSHING OUT THE THINGS THAT WE AS A CITY ARE TRULY DOING FOR OUR COMMUNITY AND WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE. 
          AND ONE OF THE PRODUCTIONS THAT WE DON'T SEE IS A LOT OF SA 2020. 
          UM, WE HEAR ABOUT IT, WE SEE THE LINKS, WE KNOW THAT YOU GO OUT INTO THE COMMUNITY, BUT WE DON'T SEE YOU ON AN ACTIVE FORUM UNDER T VS A. 
          IS THERE A TIMEFRAME THAT YOU GUYS ARE LOOKING TO KIND OF FILL A SLOT TO GET IN TO SAY, WE'RE HERE, YOU'RE OUR COMMUNITY. 
          WE'RE HERE TO LISTEN, BUT WE ALSO NEED YOU TO TAKE OWNERSHIP IN SOME OF THE THINGS THAT WE SEE AS, AS THE PROBLEM. 
          WE WOULD LOVE TO DO THAT. 
          YES. 
          WE WOULD LOVE TO DO THAT. 
          . 
          OKAY. 
          AWESOME. 
          AWESOME. 
          SO, I'M, I, I KNOW ERIC, I KNOW I'M PUSHING EVERYTHING. 
          T V S A, I APOLOGIZE, BUT IT'S REALLY ONE OF OUR GREATEST PLATFORMS. AND I BELIEVE THAT IF WE START TAPPING IN WHEN YOU'RE DOING YOUR COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT AND ACTUALLY GIVING THOSE THAT YOU'RE SPEAKING TO THE LINK TO FOLLOW THE ENGAGEMENT, IT THEN HELPS OTHERS BECOME MORE INFORMED FROM THAT ASPECT OF COMMUNITY AS WELL, INSTEAD OF US JUST DOING IT AS A ACTUAL CITY COUNCIL BODY. 
          UM, SO I, I WOULD LOVE TO SEE THAT HAPPEN. 
          UM, ANOTHER OF THE, THE THINGS THAT I SEE AS WELL IS, UM, WHEN IT COMES TO SAFETY, COMMUNITY SAFETY, WE, WE KNOW SS A P D OFFERS THE COMMUNITY SAFETY ASPECT OF COPS ON, OR CITIZENS ON PATROL AND, AND THINGS OF THAT NATURE, BUT THEY DON'T GET THE TURNOUT THAT THEY NEED, UM, TO TRULY, UH, HAVE THAT, THAT COMMUNITY EYE PIECE. 
          SO WHAT IS THE COMMUNITY LOOKING TO DO AS FAR AS COMMUNITY SAFETY? ARE WE DOING ANY KIND OF, I KNOW WITH COUNCILMAN TREVINO, THE URBAN LIGHTING PLAN, SO WHAT DOES THAT LOOK LIKE WHEN IT COMES TO COMMUNITY INPUT AND COMMUNITY SAFETY? UM, I GUESS THOSE ARE THE THINGS THAT I WOULD LOVE TO SEE WITHIN THIS REPORT. 
          YEAH, WE APP VERY MUCH APPRECIATE YOU SAYING THAT. 
          IT'S AN EXAMPLE OF ASKING WHY. 
          UM, AND SO WE KNOW, RIGHT? WHEN, AS WE'RE REPORTING ON THESE COMMUNITY INDICATORS AND TALKING ABOUT THINGS LIKE IMPROVING SATISFACTION WHEN FOLKS ARE, UM, REPORTING MAYBE THAT THEY FEEL UNSAFE, THEN ASKING WHY, RIGHT? UM, IT, IS IT BECAUSE OF CRIME IN YOUR COMMUNITY, OR IS IT BECAUSE THERE'S NOT LIGHTING? AND THOSE ARE TWO VERY DIFFERENT FUNCTIONS, RIGHT? THOSE ARE, THOSE ARE DIFFERENT, UM, LIGHT ITEMS AND THE CITY'S BUDGET AND THE ABILITY FOR THE AB UH, THE CITY TO BE RESPONSIVE TO THAT. 
          UM, SO ABSOLUTELY. 
          YES. 
          UH, THE, THE, THE, IT'S ALSO SPEAKING TO THE IMPORTANCE OF GOING BACK TO CIVIC ENGAGEMENT, RIGHT? WHAT ARE THE KINDS OF QUESTIONS THAT WE'RE ASKING THE COMMUNITY AT LARGE, AND HOW ARE WE CONTINUALLY IN CONVERSATION TO BE ABLE TO ASK WHY, TO UNDERSTAND AND DRILL DOWN, UM, TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE, THAT AN ORGANIZATION LIKE OUR LOCAL GOVERNMENT IS NOT INVESTING RIGHT? UM, IN THE WRONG SOLUTION AND NOT ACTUALLY MEETING THE NEED IF IT COMES TO SOMETHING LIKE COMMUNITY SAFETY. 
          BECAUSE WE ALSO KNOW THEN IF THAT, LET'S SAY THAT WAS TO HAPPEN THAT WE RESPONDED TO, UM, SOMEONE SAYING, WELL, WE NEED INCREASE IN COMMUNITY SAFETY. 
          AND IF WE DIDN'T HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO GO BACK AND ASK WHY AND UNDERSTAND THAT IT MAYBE HAD TO DO WITH 
          [02:05:01]
LIGHTING, AND WE INSTEAD INVESTED IN, UM, INCREASING RIGHT IN POLICE PATROL, FOR EXAMPLE, UH, THAT WOULD THEN FURTHER DRIVE THE WEDGE BETWEEN DISTRUST, UM, IN GOVERNMENT, RIGHT? OR IN POLICE IN OUR COMMUNITY. 
          SO I APPRECIATE YOU POINTING THAT OUT. 
          AND THE INTENTION OF THE NARRATIVES THAT FOLLOW EACH OF THE COMMUNITY INDICATORS IN THE REPORT IS EXACTLY THAT, TO BE ABLE TO GIVE THAT NUANCE TO THE CONVERSATION, RIGHT? 'CAUSE THEN THAT TRIGGERS BACK TO COUNCILMAN PERRY'S GREAT INITIATIVE. 
          OH, MAKING SURE THAT WE REACH THE R O I AND WHERE WE'RE PUTTING THE DOLLARS THAT ARE GOING INTO EVEN THE NONPROFITS TO ENSURE THAT THEY'RE MEETING THE NEEDS OF THE COMMUNITY AS THEY SPEAK. 
          AND SO, UM, THOSE ARE JUST SOME OF THE SUGGESTIONS THAT I HAVE. 
          BUT I, I LOOK FORWARD TO THE NEW REPORT, HOW THE FEEDBACK IS COMING BACK, WHAT ARE THE QUANTITATIVE SOLUTIONS THAT WE CAN ADD TO THE PROBLEMS THAT WE SEE ARE TRENDING DOWNWARD, ESPECIALLY WHEN IT COMES TO FAMILY VIOLENCE, WHICH IS REALLY HIGH, UM, JUST WITHIN MY DISTRICT, BUT WE KNOW THAT THAT REALLY STEMS FROM A LACK OF, OF THE THINGS THAT HAVE BEEN MISSING FOR GENERATIONS. 
          AND WITHIN THE 10 YEARS THAT WE'VE BEEN DOING IT, THERE'S STILL A LOT OF THINGS THAT ARE CONTINUOUSLY MISSED. 
          BUT, UM, I LOOK FORWARD TO THIS CONVERSATION CONTINUING. 
          THANK YOU, MAYOR. 
          THANK YOU. 
          COUNCIL MEMBER ANDREW SULLIVAN, COUNCIL MEMBER GRA THANKS. 
          UH, I HAD TO STEP OUT FOR A PHONE CALL, BUT, UH, THANK YOU. 
          AND I THINK MY COUNCIL COLLEAGUES HAVE HELPED WITH SOME OF THEIR QUESTIONING. 
          I WILL START, UH, FIRST BY SAYING, UH, KAREN, YOU ARE MY TRUSTED AGENT IN THIS WHOLE THING. 
          SO, UH, THIS IS WHY WE CONTINUE TO WORK. 
          AND I THINK, UH, SOME OF THE COMMENTS THAT WERE SHARED AND SOME OF THE REMARKS, I WANNA JUST UNPACK IT AND LIKE RUMBLE A LITTLE BIT WITH THIS RIGHT NOW. 
          BECAUSE I THINK TO YOUR POINT, UH, MOLLY, IT'S TIME. 
          WHAT I THINK IS WE NEED TO MOVE, AND I THINK WHAT YOU'RE PLANNING ON DOING IS WE NEED TO MOVE FROM CONVERSATION TO ACTION AS A COMMUNITY. 
          AND ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I ALSO WANT TO REMIND EVERYONE ABOUT IS, UM, I ALSO AGREE WITH ONE OF MY COUNCIL COLLEAGUES, IS AS WE REVISIT THIS AND AS WE SHARPEN SOME OF THESE ELEMENTS THAT WE'RE WORKING ON RIGHT NOW IN, UM, WHAT THE COMMUNITY, ME AND MANY OF US WERE PART OF ALL OF THOSE YEARS AGO, TO DIRECTION FOR OUR COMMUNITY, IT HAS CHANGED. 
          BECAUSE SIX YEARS AGO, WE DIDN'T HAVE A WORLD, UH, UNESCO DESIGNATED WORLD HERITAGE SITE SIX YEARS AGO. 
          WE DIDN'T HAVE A MEDICAL SCHOOL ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF SAN ANTONIO SIX YEARS AGO. 
          WE DIDN'T HAVE A DOWNWARD EXPANSION OF A, A FOUR YEAR UNIVERSITY ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF SAN ANTONIO. 
          AND WE HAVE INSTITUTED AND MADE CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS AND CITY COUNCIL HAVE MADE DIFFERENT ISSUES AND INITIATIVES PRIORITY. 
          UM, SO THEY HAVE BEEN PRIORITIES FOR US. 
          THAT IS WHY WE DO HAVE OUR STATUS OF WOMEN REPORT. 
          AND WE NOW HAVE OUR WORK THAT WE'RE DOING WITH THE, UM, WITH THE DOMESTIC VIOLENCE, ET CETERA, AND MAKING THOSE A PRIORITIES MOVING FORWARD. 
          BECAUSE TO MY COUNCIL COLLEAGUE, UH, GONZALEZ'S POINT, SHE'S TIRED OF WAITING. 
          WE, WE ARE TALK, WE ARE TALKING ABOUT TOO MANY THINGS. 
          WE NEED TO TAKE ACTION. 
          AND THAT'S WHY WE'RE TAKING THESE ACTION POINTS RIGHT NOW. 
          UM, KIERAN, YOU WERE JUST TALKING ABOUT THE WHY OF THE LIGHTING. 
          DO YOU FEEL SAFE, ET CETERA. 
          U I W S O M IS DOING A PHENOMENAL SURVEY WITH OLDER ADULTS FINDING OUT, WHY AREN'T YOU GOING TO HEALTHCARE? WHY AREN'T YOU GETTING SEARCHING OUT HEALTHCARE? UM, BUT I DON'T SEE THEM AS ONE OF YOUR PARTNERS IN THIS HERE. 
          AND WE NEED TO CONNECT THE DOTS. 
          ALSO, LOOKING HERE WITH REDUCED, UM, TO REDUCE FOOD INSECURITY. 
          WE HAVE A PHENOMENAL HEALTHY CORNER STORE INITIATIVE THAT WE'RE DOING IN DISTRICT THREE THAT WE STARTED WITH 670 POUNDS OF FRESH FRUITS AND VEGETABLES THAT WE WERE DOING. 
          IT'S UP TO OVER 37,000 POUNDS, AND IT'S IN APRIL WILL BE A YEAR. 
          SO WE ARE DOING PHENOMENAL WORK IN THAT, IN THAT AREA THAT WE NEED TO PLUG INTO THIS. 
          UM, SO I, I WANT TO, UH, AND WE ARE ABLE TO TELL CITY STAFF THIS. 
          WE ARE PRIORITIZING IT. 
          THIS IS OUR BUDGET AMENDMENTS, THIS IS WHAT WE'RE DOING. 
          I DON'T KNOW, UM, JUST TO BE FRANK, I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE POWER STRUGGLE OR ISSUE IS ON THIS IS MY SIDE AND THIS IS MY TURF, AND THIS IS YOUR TURF, THESE ISSUES. 
          UM, 'CAUSE THAT'S WHAT I'M SENSING, AND I'M JUST GONNA, THAT'S WHAT MY SENSE IS. 
          IT MAY BE PERCEIVED, IT MAY BE REAL, BUT NO MATTER WHAT, OUR ISSUES ARE LARGER. 
          AND I THINK WE ALL AGREE WITH THIS, OUR ISSUES ARE LARGER THAN SILOS, AND OUR ISSUES ARE LARGER THAN TURF, THAT WE NEED TO CONTINUE TO WORK TOGETHER ON THIS. 
          UM, AND I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU ALL HEAR THAT FROM ME, AND THAT I, I DO BELIEVE THAT OUR ESSAY SPEAK UP HAS BEEN DOING PHENOMENAL WORK, ESPECIALLY IN OUR BUDGET SESSIONS. 
          WHAT WE'VE DONE TO MAKE SOME OF THOSE BUDGET, 
          [02:10:01]
UM, TOWN HALLS TO BE ALL IN SPANISH AND OUT IN THE COMMUNITY HAS BEEN, UH, VERY GOOD. 
          AND ERIC AND, AND JEFF AND THE ESSAY SPEAK UP TEAM, YOU ALL HAVE BEEN, UH, VERY FLEXIBLE IN, UH, IN RESPONSIVE TO US WHEN WE NEEDED, WHEN WE SAID, HEY, WHY AREN'T YOU DOING A BUDGET ISSUE? A BUDGET TOWN HALL IN MY DISTRICT MAKE IT. 
          SO, AND THAT'S VERY IMPORTANT. 
          AND I HAVE TO SAY, YOU KNOW, IT IS DISTURBING AND CONCERNING WHEN THE, THE AMOUNT OF, UM, PEOPLE THAT ARE PART OF THE BOARD GAME OR WHATEVER ISSUES THAT YOU'RE DOING WITH SA UH, 2020 AREN'T BEING REPRESENTED WITH THOSE THAT ARE THE MOST IMPACTED WHEN IT COMES TO FOOD INSECURITY, DIABETES, ET CETERA. 
          UM, THEN IF WE HAVEN'T DONE IT BY NOW, WHY HASN'T IT BEEN DONE? AND THAT'S PART OF MY RUMBLE WITH YOU ALL, IS TO, IF YOU HA, IF YOU AND OTHERS HAVEN'T FIGURED OUT HOW WE'RE NOT GETTING TO THESE PEOPLE, WHY HASN'T BEEN FIGURED OUT BY NOW? UM, AND IT COULD BE A VARIETY OF REASONS, BUT WE NEED TO CONTINUE. 
          I JUST WANNA MAKE SURE THAT THIS IS BIGGER THAN BOTH OF US. 
          BUT I KNOW THE CITY IS, HAS THE RESOURCES AND HAS THE CAPACITY TO DO MANY THINGS. 
          AND YOU ALL, THE CITY HAS BEEN VERY, UM, RESPONSIVE AND FLEXIBLE WHERE WE COULD BE, UM, IN THESE ACTIONS. 
          AND I'M VERY PROUD OF THAT. 
          AND I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU ALL DO THE REACHING OUT WITH YOUR PARTNERS AND ASKING ALL OF YOUR PARTNERS, WELL, WHO ELSE DO WE NEED TO PARTNER WITH, LIKE I'M SHARING WITH YOU RIGHT NOW. 
          UM, SO THAT'S WHAT I WANTED TO SHARE. 
          I THINK THOSE ARE ALL OF MY COMMENTS, UM, RIGHT NOW. 
          THANK YOU. 
          THANK YOU. 
          COUNCIL MEMBER VERAN. 
          THAT'S IT. 
          I JUST WANNA SUMMARIZE A COUPLE THINGS AND MAYBE, UM, HIGHLIGHT AND PUSH BACK A LITTLE BIT ON SOME OF THE THINGS THAT WE'VE BEEN HEARING OR OFFER, UH, PERSPECTIVE. 
          WE HAVE A TON OF CONVERSATIONS THAT LEAD TO ACTION HERE. 
          WE SPEND A LOT OF MONEY, AS COUNCIL MEMBER PERRY POINTS OUT. 
          WE HAVE NO SHORTAGE OF ACTION. 
          THE CHALLENGE FOR US IS TO MAKE SURE THAT OUR ACTION IS ALIGNED WITH THE COMMUNITY'S VISION, AND THAT THE SPENDING OF RESOURCES ALIGNS WITH THE COMMUNITY VISION. 
          WHAT I SEE HAPPENING AND SEEN IT HAPPENING, MY COLLEAGUES WHO HAVE BEEN HERE FOR A WHILE HAVE SEEN THIS HAPPEN WHERE THE CITY, BECAUSE WE HAVE GOOD METRICS ASSOCIATED WITH SOMETHING, A GOOD PROGRAM THAT SEEMS TO BE WORKING, WE GO DOWN THAT RABBIT HOLE AND WE CONTINUE TO FUND IT AND FUND IT AND FUND IT WHERE IT COMES BACK SAYING THAT PROGRAM IS WORKING, BUT IT'S COMPLETELY OUT OF ALIGNMENT WITH WHAT WE'RE, WHAT WE'RE BEEN CHALLENGED BY FOR THE COMMUNITY TO FULFILL A VISION. 
          SO IT'S NOT, IT'S NOT NECESSARILY, IN MY OPINION, LACK OF ACTION. 
          IT'S MAKING SURE THAT THE ACTIONS THAT WE DO TAKE, ACHIEVE THE OUTCOMES THAT OUR COMMUNITY IS ASKING FOR. 
          AND I WOULD SAY, UH, THAT'S BEST ILLUSTRATED BY SOMETHING YOU JUST BROUGHT UP, MOLLY ALAMO PROMISE. 
          UM, WE SEE THAT AS A CLEAR AND DIRECT IMPACT TO COLLEGE ACCESS, WHICH IS SOMETHING THAT THE COMMUNITY'S VISION AS HIGHLIGHTED OVER AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN. 
          WE'VE GOT THIS PROGRAM, WE'VE GOTTA MAKE SURE THAT THIS CITY IS PARTNERED BECAUSE IT'S NOT ALL OF US. 
          IT'S JUST THE CITY, THE COUNTY, BUT IT'S ALSO THE PRIVATE SECTOR. 
          IT'S THOSE STUDENTS. 
          IT'S THE ORGANIZATIONS THAT ARE INVOLVED IN THE ALAMO PROMISE. 
          WE CAN PULL OUR PART. 
          YEAH. 
          AND WE NEED TO PULL OUR PART, BUT WE ALSO HAVE TO, AS A COMMUNITY, RALLY AROUND THIS IDEA. 
          UM, SO WE CAN'T DO IT ALL, BUT THE PARTS THAT WE DO, DO WE NEED TO DO WELL AND MAKE SURE THEY'RE ALIGNED WITH SA 2020. 
          AND TO THAT END, I'LL JUST CLOSE BY SAYING, UM, I TOTALLY AGREE WITH WHAT'S BEEN SAID ABOUT MAKING SURE THAT THIS IS A BUDGET PROCESS AND THAT THIS IS HIGHLIGHTING OUR BUDGET. 
          AND WHAT I WOULD SUGGEST IS NOT, NOT JUST, AGAIN, COMING BACK EVERY SIX MONTHS OR EVERY YEAR, BUT WE SHOULD, UM, NOW BE COMING BACK REGULARLY, EVERY COUPLE OF MONTHS, MAYBE INTO EACH OF THE COUNCIL COMMITTEES WITH AN UPDATE ON ALL THE THINGS THAT OVERLAP, UH, WITH THE COUNCIL, UH, COMMITTEE CHARGES, UH, TO ENSURE THAT ALL THE WORK THAT'S TAKING PLACE FROM POLICY ITERATION, FROM POLICY CONCEPTION, ALL THE WAY TO WHAT HAPPENS ON THURSDAY MORNINGS IS MOVING THE NEEDLE IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION. 
          UM, SO I'M, I'M VERY EXCITED THAT WE, WE SEEM TO HAVE REACHED AN, AN, AN IMPORTANT INFLECTION POINT WITH SA 2020 AND WHAT ITS IMPACT WILL BE ON THE CONVERSATIONS UP HERE. 
          SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH, BOTH OF YOU FOR COMING IN AND, AND HIGHLIGHTING ALL THIS. 
          AND I THINK ERIC DOES WANT TO SPEAK. 
          GO AHEAD, ERIC. 
          I WAS JUST GONNA ADD ONE THING, MAYOR. 
          UM, I THINK THIS AFTERNOON WAS A REALLY HELPFUL DISCUSSION, AND, AND IT'S OBVIOUS THAT, UH, IN THE FUTURE, WE NEED TO DO A BETTER JOB, THE, THE BIG COLLECTIVE WE NEED TO DO A BETTER JOB OF COORDINATING. 
          I I ALSO THINK IT'S IMPORTANT THAT, UM, THAT THERE BE REGULAR TOUCHPOINT WITH SA 2020 AND THE COUNCIL, YOU HEARD MOLLY SAY THE LAST TIME SHE PRESENTED TO THE COUNCIL WAS IN 2014. 
          AND, AND WE NEED TO THINK THROUGH WHAT THOSE REGULAR TOUCHPOINT ARE. 
          THIS YEAR IS AN IMPORTANT YEAR FOR SA 2020 AS THEY GO 
          [02:15:01]
THROUGH THAT ENGAGEMENT. 
          UM, AND, AND, UM, I'M, I'M SITTING UP HERE AS I'M LISTENING TO THE CONVERSATION, THINKING THROUGH HOW, UM, MAYBE WE SHOULD BE INCORPORATING SOME OF WHAT, UM, MOLLY DOES AND WHAT SA 2020 DOES INTO OUR BUDGET PRESENTATION. 
          DECREASING DOMESTIC VIOLENCE WAS A PRIORITY IN, IN, UH, 10 YEARS AGO. 
          IT, IT WASN'T A MAJOR BUDGET INITIATIVE IN OUR BUDGET UNTIL 2019. 
          SO HOW DO WE PRIORITIZE THAT TO, I THINK A COUPLE OF COUNCIL MEMBERS MENTIONED THAT, HOW, HOW WE PRIORITIZE AT THE CITY IN ORDER TO GET THE OUTCOMES. 
          AND I THINK THAT'D BE REALLY HELPFUL. 
          SO I, I REALLY APPRECIATE THE CONVERSATION TODAY. 
          THANK YOU, ERIC. 
          AND I'M GONNA INVITE BOTH OF YOU TO COME AND SIT IN ON OUR NEXT, UH, TRANSPORTATION DISCUSSIONS. 
          WE'RE THERE. 
          ALRIGHT. 
          THANK YOU VERY MUCH. 
          ERIC. 
          WE GOT ONE MORE ITEM. 
          [2. 20-1731 Briefing on the 2020 Unified Development Code (UDC) Amendment
Process. [Roderick Sanchez, Assistant City Manager; Michael
Shannon, Director, Development Services]]
YES, SIR. 
          UH, MAYOR COUNSEL, THE SECOND ITEM IS JUST A, UH, REALLY, UM, BRIEF, UM, PRESENTATION ON THE 2020 U D C AMENDMENT PROCESS. 
          THIS IS JUST AN OVERVIEW OF THE PROCESS. 
          THIS IS GONNA BE GOING ON THROUGHOUT, UM, 20, UH, 20. 
          UM, MIKE SHANNON IS GOING TO WALK US THROUGH THE PRESENTATION. 
          JUST AS A REMINDER, THE U D C BY CODE, UH, IS UPDATED EVERY FIVE YEARS. 
          AND SO WE ARE IN THAT UPDATE YEAR. 
          UM, AND SO THERE WILL BE, UH, MICHAEL WALK THROUGH KIND OF THE PROCESS, WHICH HAS BEGUN AND THE APPROPRIATE TOUCH POINTS, AND WHEN THEY WILL BE COMING BACK TO COUNCIL FOR UPDATES. 
          MIKE, THANK YOU, ERIC. 
          UH, GOOD AFTERNOON, MAYOR COUNCIL, AND, AND YES, I'LL BE BRIEF, UM, BECAUSE WE'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT OUR U D C 2020, UH, UPDATE PROCESS NOW FOR A LITTLE BIT, BUT WE ARE UNDERWAY. 
          UM, SO LET'S GET STARTED. 
          SO JUST TO REMIND EVERYONE, UH, WHAT IS THE U D C UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT CODE? THE CITY'S UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT CODE IS CHAPTER 35. 
          IT HAS, UH, A LOT OF REGULATIONS, UH, AND REALLY IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE OUR RULES, UH, SO THAT WE CAN ISSUE PERMITS, UM, AND IMPLEMENT THE CITY POLICIES FOR DEVELOP DEVELOPMENT THAT ARE IN LINE WITH OUR COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, MASTER PLAN SA TOMORROW, CLIMATE ACTION, MAJOR, THOROUGH, FAIR, ET CETERA. 
          UM, SO, UH, THE DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS THAT WE TALK ABOUT, YOU, YOU, YOU KNOW, A LOT OF THEM, OF COURSE, ARE ALL OF THEM. 
          PLATTING ZONING. 
          WE'RE UP HERE EVERY TWO WEEKS TALKING ABOUT ZONING ISSUES, UH, BUT NOT JUST THE BASE AND OVERLAYS, BUT, YOU KNOW, IT COULD BE SPECIFIC ITEMS LIKE SHORT-TERM RENTAL ISSUES, AFFORDABLE HOUSING, ACCESSORY DWELLING UNITS. 
          UH, WE TALK ABOUT STREET AND STORM WATER ISSUES AND DESIGN. 
          HOW DO WE DESIGN THAT AS WE DEVELOP OR REDEVELOP NEIGHBORHOODS? HISTORIC PRESERVATION IS PART OF THE U D C. 
          THEY HAVE THEIR OWN SEPARATE CHAPTER IN THERE, OR ARTICLE. 
          AND THEN, UH, NATURAL RESOURCES AND ENVIRONMENT STUFF LIKE, WHETHER IT BE TREE PRESERVATION ORDINANCE OR THE AQUIFER PROTECTION, UH, IS, UH, IS IN THERE. 
          SO WHAT DOES THE CODE SAY? SO WE, WE USE THIS CODE AND IT GETS, UH, UPDATED, UH, EVERY NOW AND THEN, BUT EVERY FIVE YEARS, THE CODE SAYS WE NEED TO UPDATE THIS AND LOOK FOR WAYS TO IMPROVE OUR CODE. 
          UH, THE REASONS THAT THE CODE TELLS US TO, TO LOOK AT OUR CODE IS, UH, TO IMPROVE THE WORKABILITY AND ENFORCEABILITY OF THE CODE. 
          WE WANT IT TO BE AS CLEAR AS POSSIBLE. 
          WE WANT TO ELIMINATE ANY UNNECESSARY, UNNECESSARY DEVELOPMENT COSTS. 
          SO THAT'S, THAT'S OUR CHARGE HERE AS WELL. 
          UH, ANY ANY CHANGES IN LAW, FOR EXAMPLE, WE HAD SOME, UH, STATE LAWS, UH, THAT WOULD CHANGE THIS PAST CYCLE, UH, EVERY TWO YEARS THAT AFFECT, UH, WHAT WE CAN AND CANNOT ENFORCE. 
          SO WE HAVE TO, UM, UH, WORK THROUGH THOSE. 
          SO, UH, AND THEN, SO HOW DO THE AMENDMENT PROCESS COME? WELL, ANYBODY CAN SUBMIT AN, AN AMENDMENT TO, UH, THE CODE, RIGHT? AND THEN THERE'S A PROCESS OF HOW THOSE ALL GET, UH, FACILITATED. 
          BUT IF YOU LOOK THERE, CITY STAFF, NOT JUST MY STAFF, BUT A LOT OF STAFF MEMBERS ACROSS THE CITY, WHETHER IT BE PUBLIC WORKS, UM, THE PLANNING DEPARTMENT, HISTORIC PRESERVATION, UH, SUSTAINABILITY, UH, I, I KNOW I'M MISSING SEVERAL, UH, BUT REALLY A LOT OF THEM ARE, UH, THE COMMISSIONS THAT WE DEAL WITH, THE ZONING COMMISSION, PLANNING COMMISSION, BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT. 
          THEY CAN PROPOSE THEM H D R C, THE HISTORIC DESIGN REVIEW COMMISSION, EXTERNAL PARTIES, INDIVIDUALS OR GROUPS OF NEIGHBORHOOD, UH, BUSINESSES, UH, AND SUCH. 
          SO ALL OF THOSE CAN, UH, DO THE PROPOSED AMENDMENTS AND GET THEM IN. 
          AND WE HAVE ACTUALLY TWO SO FAR, SO TWO, UH, SINCE THE FIRST OF THE YEAR, UH, BUT MANY WILL BE COMING. 
          I KNOW, AND I'LL TALK TO YOU ABOUT THAT. 
          ONE OF THE ITEMS THAT I JUST WANTED TO MENTION AS WELL WAS, UH, AN ISSUE THAT CAME UP WEST FROM CONSUM IMPLY, UH, WE HAD TALKED ABOUT THIS. 
          SO IN 2018, UH, THERE WAS A DISCUSSION TO LOOK AT WHAT WE CAN DO TO, TO, UH, UH, DISCUSS COST IMPACT AS WE GO THROUGH THIS. 
          NOW, I WILL STEP BACK AND SAY, UH, EVERY TIME, UH, EVERY TIME THAT WE GO THROUGH ANY TYPE OF U D C AMENDMENT, UH, COST OR THE DISCUSSION OF WHAT IS THE COST OR RATE OF RETURN, RETURN ON INVESTMENT UPFRONT, LONG-TERM COST, THOSE ARE USUALLY EMBEDDED INTO IT. 
          UH, WE DID GO THROUGH A STAKEHOLDER PROCESS, DEVELOPED A RECOMMENDATION, UH, WENT THROUGH SOME COMMITTEES. 
          UM, THERE WAS A PROPOSAL TO ADD AND REQUIRE EVERYONE TO INCLUDE A COST IMPACT STATEMENT, UH, WITH THEIR AMENDMENTS. 
          UH, OF COURSE, THAT DID NOT GET PASSED. 
          UH, BUT WHAT WE'RE DOING NOW IS THAT ANY CITY DEPARTMENT THAT'S PROPOSING SOMETHING IS GONNA BE REQUIRED TO PUT THAT IN. 
          WE'RE KIND OF GONNA TEST CASE THAT, 
          [02:20:01]
UH, SO THAT WHEN WE BRING CODE AMENDMENTS TO YOU ALL LATER, UH, THIS YEAR, AT LEAST WE CAN HAVE A, A GOOD IDEA OF WHAT SOME OF THESE ARE GONNA COST. 
          AND, UH, MAYBE SOME OF THESE DISCUSSIONS THAT WE JUST HEARD, UH, WILL BE PART OF MY PRESENTATION TO YOU IN, IN, UH, DECEMBER. 
          SO, UH, THE, THE CODE ALSO TELLS US WHAT KIND OF AMENDMENTS WE CAN LOOK AT THROUGH THIS PROCESS. 
          IS EVERYTHING ON THE TABLE? WELL, UH, YES AND NO, UH, WHICH I HATE, UH, THAT ANSWER, BUT REALLY IT'S SPECIFIC TO EDITS AS THE MAYOR, I GOTTA CHUCKLE LOT OF THAT. 
          THANK YOU. 
          UH, EDITS, CLARIFICATIONS AND RULE INTERPRETATIONS. 
          SO WE ARE REALLY TRYING TO UPDATE THE CODE, UH, WITH NOT BIG LARGE POLICY ITEMS. WE'VE DONE THAT THROUGHOUT THE YEARS, UM, UH, IN, IN INTERMEDIATE, UH, CHANGES. 
          UH, BUT SO EDITS, CLARIFICATIONS AND RULE INTERPRETATIONS, THOSE CAN COME FROM ANYONE. 
          NOW, IF IT'S A LITTLE BIT BIGGER, IF IT'S A LITTLE BIT CLOSER TO A POLICY CHANGE OR A MACRO CHANGE, THE PLANNING COMMISSION, UH, MAY CHOOSE TO SPONSOR THAT CHANGE. 
          AND IF THEY DO, THAT WILL RIDE ALONG THIS, UH, THIS PROCESS. 
          AND I'LL BRING IT TO YOU ALL AFTER WE GO THROUGH, UH, THE PROCESS WITH, UH, THE OPEN MEETINGS AND ALL THAT STUFF, UH, THAT I GET TO YOU IN DECEMBER. 
          SO THE PLANNING COMMISSION, UH, IS, UH, ONE OF THE BOARDS OF COMMISSION, OR THE COMMISSION, UH, THAT IS, UH, THE LEAD COMMISSION ON THIS. 
          EVERYONE HAS A SEAT AT THE TABLE. 
          UH, BUT THEY ALSO HAVE SOMETHING CALLED THE TECHNICAL ADVISORY COMMITTEE. 
          THIS IS THEIR TECHNICAL SUBCOMMITTEE. 
          SO ALL OF OUR BOARDS AND COMMISSION HAVE THE ABILITY TO HAVE, UH, TECHNICAL COMMITTEES. 
          UH, SO THERE'S ONE THAT THEY'VE CREATED. 
          WE USE THIS ALL THE TIME. 
          UH, BUT IT'S USED HEAVILY DURING THE U D C EVERY FIVE YEAR UPDATE PROCESS. 
          THERE'S THE MAKE UP THIS 18 VOTING MEMBERS. 
          UH, THERE ARE SOME FROM THE BOARDS AND COMMISSION. 
          WE HAVE ALTERNATES BECAUSE OF THE MEETINGS. 
          WE JUST HAVE TO MAKE SURE WE HAVE QUORUMS. UM, AND THEN WE HAVE COMMUNITY REPRESENTATIVES, ARCHITECTS, ENGINEERS, PLANNING PROFESSIONALS, ET CETERA. 
          SO THEY'RE GONNA TACKLE A LOT OF THE TECHNICAL, HOW THIS WORKS. 
          WE DON'T WANNA WRITE ONE CODE SECTION THAT BREAKS ANOTHER ONE. 
          UH, WE WANT TO KNOW WHAT, HOW DEVELOPMENT WORKS, HOW IT'S GONNA AFFECT OUR COMMUNITY, THOSE TYPE OF THINGS. 
          SO THEY WILL, UH, DO A LOT OF THE WORK, THE TECHNICAL ADVISORY COMMITTEE. 
          THESE ARE ALL OPEN, UH, PUBLIC MEETINGS AND BRING RECOMMENDATIONS TO THE PLANNING COMMISSIONS, WHO WILL THEN VOTE ON THIS AS IT MOVES ON THE PROCESS, UH, BEFORE WE BRING IT TO YOU. 
          UH, AND I'M OVERSIMPLIFYING IT, BUT THAT'S, THAT'S THE, THAT'S THE BIG PROCESS. 
          SO LET'S LOOK AT 2015. 
          SO WHAT ARE WE, WHAT ARE WE DEALING WITH? I THINK, IF I REMEMBER, UH, I WAS STANDING HERE AT THE BUDGET CYCLE LAST TIME. 
          I SAID, WELL, WE GOT THE U D C PROCESS COMING AGAIN IN 2015. 
          WE HAD ALMOST 300 PROPOSALS. 
          WE, WE ACTUALLY EXPECT, JUST FROM WHAT WE'RE HEARING THAT TO BE A LOT MORE THAN THAT. 
          IS IT GONNA BE, UH, 50% MORE OR DOUBLE? WE DON'T KNOW, BUT WE EXPECT IT TO BE AND ARE GEARING UP TO BE MORE. 
          UH, BUT WE HAD ALMOST 300, ABOUT TWO THIRDS OF THEM WERE FROM CITY STAFF, A THIRD FROM EXTERNAL LAST YEAR, UH, UH, UH, IN 2015. 
          AND ABOUT 205 WERE ACTUALLY APPROVED BY COUNCIL IN 2015 TO MAKE IT A BETTER CODE. 
          UH, AND THAT'S WHAT HAPPENED. 
          SO, UH, THE PROCESS, THIS IS WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE. 
          UH, SO JANUARY ONE, WE STARTED. 
          SO IF YOU DIDN'T KNOW, I THINK YOU DO KNOW, 'CAUSE I'VE TOLD MOST OF YOU DIRECTLY THAT WE ARE AL ALREADY ACCEPTING, UH, AMENDMENTS. 
          AND WE ARE TALKING WITH A LOT OF DIFFERENT GROUPS, INDIVIDUAL BUSINESS GROUPS, NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATIONS, UH, OUR CUSTOMERS, ANYBODY WE CAN ACTUALLY JUST MEET AT THE SUPERMARKET. 
          WE'RE TELLING THEM, IF YOU HAVE AN AMENDMENT, SUBMIT IT, BECAUSE THIS IS THE TIME AND THE DEADLINE IS MAY 1ST. 
          OKAY? SO THAT'S WHY WE HAVE TWO. 
          WE FULLY EXPECT THAT APRIL IS THE BIG TIME WHERE EVERYBODY STARTS SUBMITTING, UH, THOSE AMENDMENTS. 
          SO MAY 1ST IS THE DEADLINE. 
          WE ARE REVIEWING THEM, AND WE WILL REVIEW THEM JUST TO MAKE SURE, UH, OR WE'RE AVAILABLE TO HELP THEM IF THEY HAVE QUESTIONS ON HOW TO, HOW TO, UH, WRITE SOMETHING, WHAT SECTION OF THE CODE. 
          WE WILL WORK WITH THE P TAC, THE PLANNING COMMISSION TO FIGURE OUT ARE THESE JUST EDITS OR DO THEY NEED TO BE SPONSORED BY THE PLANNING COMMISSION OR THE OTHER COMMISSIONS? BUT REALLY THE HEAVY LIFTING IS THIS SUMMER THROUGH OCTOBER, WE'RE GONNA BE WORKING WITH DOZENS OF P TAC MEETINGS, UH, AS WELL AS, UH, PLANNING COMMISSION DIRECTION. 
          WE'LL BE, UH, WORKING WITH OUR ENGAGEMENT, ENGAGING THE COMMUNITY, TRYING TO GET FEEDBACK AS TO HOW IT'S ALL UPDATING THEM AS TO WHERE IT'S GOING. 
          AND THEN BY NOVEMBER AND DECEMBER, WE'LL BE AT THE BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS. 
          MOST OF THEM WILL GO THROUGH THE PLANNING, UH, AND LAND, UH, DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE, UH, COUNCILWOMAN GONZALEZ'S COMMITTEE THAT SHE CHAIRS. 
          BUT THERE MAY BE SOME INDIVIDUAL ONES THAT HAVE TO GO TO SOME INDIVIDUAL ONES, UH, WHETHER IT BE HISTORIC TO COUNCIL, INTRAVENOUS, UH, COMMITTEE, UH, MAYBE SOME ENVIRONMENTAL ONES. 
          UH, BUT MOST OF THEM WILL GO THROUGH THE PLANNING AND LAND DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE. 
          AND THEN BY DECEMBER, I'M REQUIRED BY CODE TO BRING YOU A PACKAGE OF PROPOSED CODE AMENDMENTS THAT WE CAN HOPEFULLY AGREE ON AND, UH, GO LIVE WITH ON JANUARY. 
          SO ALL THAT'S KIND OF CODIFIED THAT PROCESS. 
          SO WHAT ARE WE DOING TO, UH, OUTREACH? SO WE TALKED A LITTLE BIT ABOUT ESSAY SPEAKUP AND ENGAGING. 
          SO WE ARE ALREADY, UH, OUT THERE, WE HAVE A SURVEY RIGHT NOW TRYING TO, UH, THROUGH ESSAY SPEAKUP, TRYING TO IDENTIFY WHAT THE PRIORITIES FROM THE COMMUNITY. 
          WE HAVE ABOUT 150 PEOPLE RESPONDED SO FAR. 
          WHAT'S MOST IMPORTANT TO YOU DEVELOPMENT? SOME OF THE STUFF WE'VE BEEN HEARING. 
          UH, OF COURSE, WE'RE E-BLAST SOCIAL MEDIA. 
          WE'RE HOLDING TRAINING ACADEMIES, AND WE HAVE BEEN FOR THE PAST YEAR ON THIS TOPIC, JUST 
          [02:25:01]
ONE TO EDUCATE, UH, MAYBE THOSE THAT AREN'T IN THE BUSINESS OF DEVELOPMENT, UH, EDUCATE THEM OF WHAT OUR DEVELOPMENT RULES ARE, UH, BUT ALSO NOW TELLING THEM OF WHAT THE PROCESS IS. 
          UH, WE'VE HAD, UH, COMMUNITY MEETINGS. 
          WE HAVE ONE, I THINK TOMORROW EVENING AT THE CLAUDE BLACK, UH, UH, IS ONE. 
          AND WE HAVE SEVERAL OTHERS SCHEDULED JUST TO GET OUT THERE AND TOUCH AND TALK ABOUT THIS PROCESS. 
          UH, OF COURSE, WE'RE LIVE STREAMING ALL OF OUR, OUR MEETINGS, INCLUDING PTAC. 
          UH, WE HAVE A WEBSITE THAT'S VERY INTERACTIVE, UH, THAT WE'LL BE UTILIZING. 
          IT'S ALREADY UP. 
          SO HERE'S OUR OUTREACH. 
          WE'RE RIGHT NOW, PHASE ONE IS JUST TELLING PEOPLE WHAT'S GOING ON, THAT, UH, WE'VE STARTED, THIS IS WHAT THE U D C PROCESS IS, UM, AND THAT THE DEADLINE IS MAY ONE. 
          UH, WE WILL THEN, UH, GO INTO PHASE TWO AND WE'LL TELL PEOPLE THAT THESE ARE THE AMENDMENTS THAT WE HAVE RECEIVED, AND WE'RE GONNA START WORKING THROUGH, AND WE'RE GONNA SEE WHAT MAKES IT PHASE THREE IS WE KEEP PEOPLE UPDATED AS TO, UH, THE PROGRESS OF ALL THOSE AMENDMENTS. 
          UH, SOME THAT ARE GETTING CONSENSUS, SOME THAT ARE NOT GAINING CONSENSUS, SOME THAT ARE VERY, UH, GETTING A HUNDRED PERCENT, UH, AGREEMENT. 
          MAYBE WE'LL GET ONE OR TWO OF THOSE. 
          AND THEN LASTLY, AS WE GO LIVE WITH THE NEW CODE, NEXT YEAR, WE'LL BE TRAINING. 
          SO VERY CONSCIOUS ABOUT HOW WE KEEP EVERYBODY INVOLVED AND UPDATED. 
          SO THAT'S A VERY BRIEF OVERVIEW, A VERY QUICK OVERVIEW. 
          I KNOW, I DON'T KNOW IF ANYBODY TIMED ME, BUT MAYBE, UH, I THINK COSMO, YOU TIME ME, BUT, UH, I'D BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. 
          GREAT JOB, MIKE. 
          THANK YOU VERY MUCH, UH, FOR CLARIFYING THE PROCESS. 
          UM, SO LET ME JUST BE CLEAR. 
          THE DISCUSSION TODAY IS, IS ABOUT PROCESS. 
          WE WILL GET INTO MORE OF CONTENT DISCUSSIONS ABOUT U D C SHORTLY. 
          UM, AND, AND WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO JUST SAY IS THAT, UM, AS I UNDERSTAND IT, AND AS I THINK WE'VE ROLLED THIS OUT PERIODICALLY, UM, THE U D C PROCESS IS A VERY IMPORTANT ONE FOR US TO MAKE SURE THAT THE POLICIES THAT WE HAVE BEEN ADVANCING AND WE HAD A GOOD DISCUSSION ABOUT THAT, UH, JUST A MINUTE AGO, ARE ALIGNED WITH OUR CODE, AND THAT WE'RE DOING THINGS IN CONCERT WITH THE, UH, GOALS AND, AND VISION FOR OUR COMMUNITY'S FUTURE. 
          TO THAT END, THIS IS NOT A SMORGASBORD OF OPPORTUNITY TO CREATE NEW REGULATION. 
          IN FACT, IT'S VERY MUCH DIFFERENT THAN THAT. 
          IT'S A CLARIFICATION OF WHAT WE DO IN TERMS OF REGULATORY, UH, SYSTEMS AND CODES CLARIFICATION, AS OPPOSED TO, UM, YOU KNOW, THINGS COMING IN FROM LEFT FIELD, UH, ET CETERA. 
          UM, HOWEVER, UH, I DO WANNA MAKE SURE THAT AS WE DO GET, UH, PROPOSALS THAT WE CAN ASSURE THE COMMUNITY, NEIGHBORHOODS, RESIDENTS, AS WELL AS, UH, FOLKS DOING THE WORK, THE DEVELOPMENT COMMUNITY, THAT THIS IS GONNA BE AN OPEN AND TRANSPARENT CONVERSATION THAT PEOPLE WILL BE, GET TO BE ABLE TO HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO DISCUSS, UH, WHAT THE CODE, UH, AMENDMENTS ARE FOR WHAT, UH, THEY WILL BE EXPECTED TO DO AND WHAT IMPACTS THEY MIGHT HAVE. 
          UH, SO, UH, JUST WANT TO ASSURE THAT IF YOU CAN SPEAK TO THAT JUST MOMENTARILY AND WE'LL GET INTO THE DISCUSSION. 
          SURE. 
          THAT'S ABSOLUTELY CRITICAL. 
          UM, SO WE HAVE IN DEVELOPMENT SERVICES, WE'RE THE FACILITATOR OF THIS PROCESS. 
          UM, EVEN IF WE DON'T HAVE THAT MANY CODE AMENDMENTS OURSELVES, BUT WE'RE THE FACILITATOR OF IT. 
          I HAVE A TEAM DEDICATED TO JUST THAT IS TO COMMUNICATING, GOING OUT TO ANY GROUP THAT WANTS TO TALK ABOUT THIS. 
          AND WE ARE KIND OF FORCING OURSELVES A LITTLE BIT INTO SOME GROUPS, BUT, UH, UH, BUT ALSO HOLDING, UM, YOU KNOW, NOT ONLY MEETINGS AT OUR PLACE, UH, WE HAVE A WEBSITE THAT'S VERY INTERACTIVE. 
          UH, WE'RE SENDING OUT MAIL INFORMATION TO GROUPS, UH, AND, AND INVITING THEM TO BE PART OF THIS LIVE STREAMING, ALL THE PTAC MEETINGS SO THAT PEOPLE, IF THEY'RE NOT THERE, THEY CAN FOLLOW ALONG, BUT ALSO GIVING UPDATES. 
          SO WE WILL BE GIVING UPDATES SOME OF THE HIGH LEVEL UPDATES AS WELL. 
          SO WE HAVE TO BE VERY TRANSPARENT, UH, NOT ONLY NOW, BUT THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE PROCESS TO ENSURE THAT PEOPLE UNDERSTAND WHAT'S BEING PROPOSED, UH, AND, UH, THAT, YOU KNOW, WE'RE FOLLOWING THE GUIDANCE OF NOT ONLY THE CODE, BUT ALL OF OUR ENGAGEMENT PRINCIPLES HERE IN SAN ANTONIO. 
          SO I THINK WE'RE, WE'RE GEARED UP AND READY FOR THAT, AND WE'LL DEFINITELY HAVE THAT, UH, DONE. 
          YEAH. 
          AND THERE'S NO BETTER EXAMPLE OF THE OLD SAYING THAT THE ROAD TO HELL IS PAVED WITH GOOD INTENTIONS THAN THE ENTIRE CODE PROCESS. 
          SO I JUST WANNA BE MINDFUL OF THAT AND CREATING A PROCESS BY WHICH WE CAN ALL HAVE OPEN, TRANSPARENT DISCUSSION. 
          I FEEL LIKE YOU JUST DROPPED THE MIC WITH THAT, WITH THAT QUOTE. 
          OKAY. 
          , COUNCIL MEMBER COURAGE. 
          THANK YOU. 
          UM, I JUST WANNA UNDERSTAND, HAS THE P TAC BEEN ESTABLISHED AND FILLED IN YET? YEAH, SO THE PLANNING, UH, THE, THE P TAC IS ALREADY ESTABLISHED. 
          IT'S ESTABLISHED ALL ALONG. 
          IT'S, WE DON'T JUST CREATE ONE EVERY FIVE YEARS. 
          SO THERE'S ONE, UH, THE PLANNING COMMISSION, UH, THOSE NINE MEMBERS ARE ASSIGNED, UH, BY YOU ALL. 
          SO THEY HAVE A P TTAC THAT THEY USE FOR THE FIVE YEAR CYCLE ALSO, OR ANY TYPE OF MAJOR THOROUGHFARE PLAN OR ANY OF THE OTHER OUT OF CYCLE U D C AMENDMENTS. 
          THOSE ARE, THEY'RE THE TECHNICAL GROUP THAT LOOKS AT SOME OF THESE. 
          UH, SO THEY HAVE ONE RIGHT NOW. 
          UH, IT'S THE 18 MEMBER VOTING MEMBER BOARD. 
          THEY HAVE ALL ABOUT 10 ALTERNATES. 
          UH, WE ACTUALLY HAVE SOME VACANCIES, A COUPLE OF VACANCIES RIGHT NOW, AS WELL AS SIX POSITIONS THAT ARE GONNA BE, UH, EXPIRING BECAUSE THEY HAVE TERM LIMITS, THE OVERLAPPING TERM LIMITS. 
          UH, SO WE HAVE SOME, UH, THAT ARE OUT THERE FOR ACCEPTING 
          [02:30:01]
APPLICATIONS RIGHT NOW. 
          WE HAVE SOME SOMETHING EXPIRING IN, IN, IN, UH, IN MAY. 
          SO IT'S AN ONGOING PROCESS TO KEEP THAT GROUP TOGETHER, BUT ALSO TO REFRESH, UH, WITH, UH, NEW BLOOD, IF YOU WILL. 
          COULD WE MAKE RECOMMENDATIONS TO THE PLANNING COMMITTEE OR TO YOUR OFFICE TO, TO FILL SOME OF THOSE POSITIONS? SURE, YEAH. 
          WE WOULD, WE WOULD LOVE TO KNOW WHO YOU'RE THINKING OF AND, AND REACH OUT FOR THEM, BECAUSE THERE'S AN APPLICATION WE WANT THEM TO APPLY, GET THAT INFORMATION TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION, UH, AND, AND CERTAINLY HAVE THEM CONSIDER THOSE PEOPLE. 
          UH, BUT THERE'S SEVERAL VACANCIES OR UP FOR RENEWAL POSITIONS RIGHT NOW IN, IN THE DIFFERENT CATEGORIES, I THINK THAT I LISTED OUT. 
          SO, UH, WE CAN HAVE FURTHER CONVERSATION IF YOU HAVE ANYBODY IN MIND, BUT IT'S A PLANNING COMMISSION THAT MAKES FINAL DECISION ON WHO SITS ON THAT. 
          YEAH, THE CURRENT, RIGHT NOW, IT'S THEIR TECHNICAL SUBCOMMITTEE, IF YOU WILL. 
          RIGHT. 
          UH, THAT HELPS THEM GO THROUGH ALL THESE TECHNICAL AMENDMENTS, THESE DEVELOPMENTAL AMENDMENTS, AND THEN THEY'LL RECOMMEND PLANNING COMMISSION WILL ACTUALLY VOTE ON THOSE TO SEE IF THEY MOVE FORWARD TO THE PROCESS, UH, TO THE CO THE COMMITTEES, AND THEN EVENTUALLY, YOU ALL SURE. 
          I'D, I'D JUST LIKE TO, AS A COUNCIL PERSON, BE ABLE TO MAYBE MAKE RECOMMENDATIONS TO THE PLANNING COMMITTEE. 
          SURE. 
          AND, AND I THINK WE WOULD NEED TO KNOW WHAT ARE THOSE VACANCIES, ARE THEY IN CERTAIN SPECIFIC AREAS THAT, UH, THEY NEED TO FILL SO THAT, YOU KNOW, WE CAN MAKE A REASONABLE RECOMMENDATION IF ANY OF US FEEL LIKE WE'VE GOT SOMEONE WE'D LIKE TO. 
          SURE. 
          AND WE, WE DID A, UH, WE DID A, UH, UM, KIND OF A MEDIA OUTREACH, I THINK IT WAS LAST WEEK FOR THE OPEN POSITIONS. 
          BUT WHAT WE CAN DO IS MAYBE SEND YOU A LIST OF, UH, THE CURRENT POSITIONS, CERTAINLY WHAT'S OPEN AND AVAILABLE, UH, TO NOT ONLY YOU, BUT ANYBODY WHO WANTS IT. 
          RIGHT. 
          I MAY HAVE OVERLOOKED IT. 
          I'D LIKE TO SEE IT AGAIN. 
          NOPE, THAT'S FINE. 
          WE'LL BE HAPPY TO GET IT TO YOU. 
          THANK YOU. 
          THAT'S ON THERE. 
          THANK YOU. 
          THANK YOU. 
          COUNCIL MEMBER COURAGE. 
          COUNCIL MEMBER SANDOVAL. 
          THANK YOU, MAYOR. 
          UH, THANK YOU, MIKE, FOR, UH, NOT JUST TODAY'S PRESENTATION, BUT TO YOU AND YOUR TEAM FOR YOUR ONGOING, UH, COMMUNICATION ABOUT THIS PROCESS. 
          UM, A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS. 
          I'M LOOKING AT SLIDE FIVE, YOU'VE TALKED ABOUT THE COST IMPACT ANALYSIS, AND THERE'S A STAKEHOLDER PROCESS. 
          NOW, THAT STAKEHOLDER PROCESS, THAT'S FOR THE WHOLE THING. 
          IT'S NOT JUST FOR THE COST IMPACT ANALYSIS, RIGHT? OR AM I WRONG? NO, WHAT, WHAT I WAS REFERRING TO IN THAT SLIDE IS THAT WE HAD, WE HAD DONE SOME WORK LAST SUMMER, UM, BASED ON THE DIRECTION FROM THAT, FROM THE COUNCILMAN'S, UH, C C R, AND SAID, HEY, WHAT COULD, OR SHOULD WE UPDATE IN THE CODE BEFORE THE PROCESS STARTS TO ENSURE THAT EACH AMENDMENT THAT COMES IN HAS SOME, HEY, WHAT IS THIS GONNA COST US IF WE AS A CITY ADD THIS TO OUR CODE OR MODIFY THE CODE? WHAT'S IT GONNA LOOK LIKE? A LOT OF THAT HAD TO DO, AND, AND THE COUNCILMAN, I KNOW I DON'T WANNA SPEAK FOR YOU, BUT, UM, YOU KNOW, COST IS AN IMPORTANT IMPACT. 
          WE WANNA MAKE SURE THE CODE IS AS GOOD AS IT CAN BE FOR THE DEVELOPMENT, NOT ONLY THE REDEVELOPMENT, BUT THE NEW DEVELOPMENT. 
          UH, BUT THAT STAKEHOLDER PROCESS THAT WE HELD HAPPENED LAST SUMMER AND CREATED A RECOMMENDATION, UM, THAT DID NOT EVENTUALLY GET TO COUNCIL AND PASSED. 
          SO THAT'S A SEPARATE STAKEHOLDER PROCESS. 
          NOW, I WOULD, I, I WOULD LIKE TO SAY THAT EVERYONE THAT WAS INVOLVED WITH THAT, UH, WILL, WILL LIKELY BE INVOLVED WITH OUR U D C OVERALL U D C PROCESS. 
          JUST THINKING OF THE NAMES ON THAT LIST. 
          SO THIS TASK FORCE RECOMMENDATION LIST THAT DID NOT COME HERE, ADD LANGUAGE TO INCLUDE COST IMPACTS OF PROPOSED AMENDMENTS THAT, THAT DID NOT GET TO FULL COUNSEL, REQUIRED DOCUMENTATION FOR COST IMPACTS. 
          CORRECT. 
          OKAY. 
          WE, WE RECOMMEND IF YOU HAVE IT TO BRING IT, BECAUSE THE QUESTION MIGHT BE ASKED, BUT IT WON'T BE A REQUIREMENT. 
          WE DIDN'T MAKE A CHANGE TO OUR CODE. 
          UH, BUT FOR THE CITY STAFF, WE'LL, WE'LL, WE'LL REALLY VOLUNTARILY DO THAT, UH, BECAUSE ONE, WE THINK IT WAS A, A GOOD IDEA ON SOME OF THE THINGS THAT WE MAY BE PROPOSING TO UNDERSTAND AND BRING TO YOU ALL, UH, THE BALANCE OF MAYBE A GOOD CODE AMENDMENT IDEA VERSUS A LOT OF THE OTHER POLICY ISSUES LIKE AFFORDABLE HOUSING AND ALL THOSE OTHER THINGS, HOW TO KIND OF KEEP THINGS AFFORDABLE. 
          OKAY. 
          WELL, UH, IN THE FUTURE, WHEN WE DO FINALLY REVIEW THE PROPOSED AMENDMENTS, I'LL TELL YOU SOMETHING THAT WILL BE HELPFUL FOR ME. 
          SURE. 
          IS, UH, IF YOU ARE GOING TO PRESENT COST, UM, WELL, OBVIOUSLY YOU'RE GONNA HAVE A RANGE, RIGHT? THERE'S GONNA BE SOME UNCERTAINTY AROUND THAT. 
          SURE. 
          SO BEING AWARE OF THAT, BUT ALSO ALWAYS HAVING THAT IN THE CONTEXT OF WHAT THE BENEFIT IS, I THINK IT'S VERY EASY TO GET TO PUT ON OUR BLINDERS AND JUST LOOK AT THE COST AND USE THAT AS A LEADING CRITERIA, BECAUSE NUMBERS ARE SO MUCH EASIER TO, TO UNDERSTAND. 
          BUT I, I THINK WE JUST ALWAYS HAVE TO PRESENT THE CONTEXT, UH, WITH THAT. 
          SO OF COURSE THAT'LL BE HELPFUL FOR ME. 
          THANK YOU FOR THAT. 
          MM-HMM. 
           IN THE FUTURE. 
          UM, IN TERMS OF, UH, STAFF REC, YOU SAID, UH, AMENDMENTS CAN BE INITIATED BY SEVERAL COMMISSIONS, THE B O A H D R C, AND, UH, CITY, CITY STAFF AND COUNCIL. 
          SO, UM, I, THIS IS A QUESTION FOR ERIC. 
          UM, IN TERMS OF, UH, THE OFFICE OF SUSTAINABILITY AND THE CLIMATE ACTION AND ADAPTATION PLAN, WHERE WILL WE SEE THOSE, UH, PROPOSED AMENDMENTS COME FROM? WELL, UH, IF I DON'T MIND, ERIC, I'LL TAKE THAT. 
          SO, FOR EXAMPLE, WE'RE 
          [02:35:01]
WORKING WITH DOUG, AND IF DOUG, IF I MISS ANYTHING, I'LL LET YOU COME UP. 
          CERTAINLY. 
          BUT DOUG, FOR EXAMPLE, IS, UH, LOOKING AND BEING THE, THE LEAD ON THAT. 
          HE WILL BRING THOSE AMENDMENTS THROUGH OUR PROCESS, MEANING THERE'LL BE, EACH PROPOSED AMENDMENT WILL WILL BE LISTED ON OUR WEBSITE WITH SOME CONTEXT ON HOW IT FITS WITH, UH, MAYBE THE CLIMATE, UH, CLIMATE PLAN. 
          UH, BUT THEN THEY WILL BE PACKAGED TOGETHER, UH, WITH ALL THE OTHER ONES. 
          FOR EXAMPLE, THE PLANNING DEPARTMENT IS DOING SOMETHING SIMILAR WITH SA TOMORROW. 
          UH, THE POLICY THERE AND THE, AND, AND THE PLANNING PRINCIPLES OF THAT ALIGNING OUR U D C WITH A RELATIVELY NEW DOCUMENT, UH, THAT WASN'T AROUND IN 2015. 
          UH, BUT, BUT IT'LL, IT'LL ALL COME TO YOU AT ONCE. 
          IT'S A BIG LIFT. 
          AND THAT'S WHY THERE'LL BE A LOT OF MEETINGS, A LOT OF BRIEFINGS, UH, TO NOT ONLY, UH, THE COUNCILWOMAN GONZALEZ PLANNING AND LAND DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE, BUT MAYBE POSSIBLY A COUPLE OTHER COMMITTEES THAT MAY WANNA FOCUS ON A FEW OF THOSE. 
          UM, DID I MISS ANYTHING, DOUG? YEAH, I, I THINK THE, BASICALLY THAT'S THE, THE, THE, THE PROCESS. 
          WE'RE CURRENTLY GOING THROUGH THE ENTIRE U D C, TRYING TO FIND THOSE OPPORTUNITIES WHERE, UM, ANY POTENTIAL CHANGES WOULD HELP MOVE FORWARD WITH THE, THE CLIMATE PLAN. 
          UM, THE KEY IS GONNA BE, IT OVERLAPS WITH LOTS OF DIFFERENT DEPARTMENTS, UM, WHETHER WE'RE TALKING ABOUT LAND USE OF TRANSPORTATION. 
          SO WE'LL BE COORDINATING WITH THEM, UM, AND, AND MICHAEL AS WELL. 
          OKAY. 
          THANK YOU. 
          THAT'S, THAT'S GREAT TO HEAR. 
          I LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING YOUR RECOMMENDATIONS. 
          AND SECONDLY, UH, WE HAD A CONVERSATION HERE ABOUT VIEWS REIMAGINED PLAN AND, AND CONNECT SA AND AT THAT TIME, AT ALSO REQUESTED THAT WE CONSIDER ANY, UH, CHANGES TO THE U D C THAT WOULD ALLOW US TO BE A MORE TRANSIT TO PROVIDE A MORE TRANSIT SUPPORTIVE ENVIRONMENT FOR, FOR OUR COMMUNITY. 
          CAN YOU TELL ME HOW IS THAT PROGRESSING? SURE. 
          UM, SO VIA IS AT THE TABLE ALREADY, SO IN THE BACKGROUND, WHICH WE'RE, WE'RE WELCOMING ANYBODY TO SEND IN AMENDMENTS, BUT WE HAVE, UH, DIFFERENT GROUPS FOCUSING ON DIFFERENT AREAS. 
          DOUG JUST MENTIONED HE'S KIND OF LEADING THAT CHARGE. 
          UM, OUR PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT, UH, WITH, UH, RAZZIE AND HIS TEAM ARE WORKING WITH VIA A LOT IN TERMS OF WHAT ARE THOSE TRANSPORTATION PROPOSED AMENDMENTS, WHAT THEY COULD AND SHOULD LOOK LIKE. 
          SO THEY'RE DEVELOPING THAT LIST, AND THOSE WILL BE PART OF THE PROCESS. 
          SO WE HAVE, WE'LL HAVE EVERYTHING FUNNELED THROUGH THE MECHANICAL, UH, U D C PROCESS. 
          UH, BUT WE DO HAVE DIFFERENT, YOU KNOW, ENTITIES LIKE VIA, UH, LIKE PUBLIC WORKS, UH, LIKE I SAID, PLANNING AND, AND OTHERS, UH, SUSTAINABILITY, WORKING ON THOSE. 
          SO THEY ARE ENGAGED. 
          UH, I THINK WE WERE AT A COUPLE MEETINGS JUST THIS WEEK ALREADY VIA WAS IN ATTENDANCE, TALKING ABOUT SOME OF THAT, UM, BECAUSE WE KNOW CONNECTA IS ANOTHER BIG PIECE NOW AS WELL. 
          UH, SO ALL RIGHT. 
          THANK YOU. 
          AND THEN LASTLY, I'LL JUST ASK YOU TO REMIND US, UM, YOU ARE, WE DO HAVE OPENINGS IN THE, UH, PLANNING, UH, TECHNICAL, I'M SORRY, PCT, WHAT DOES IT STAND FOR? PLANNING COMMISSION TECHNICAL ADVISORY COMMITTEE. 
          I CALL IT THE P TAC. 
          OKAY. 
          I I'VE MISSED THAT FIRST C. 
          THE FIRST C, YEAH. 
          YEAH. 
          OKAY. 
          SO THE P TAC C, UH, THERE, THERE'S CURRENTLY OPENINGS. 
          UM, AND CAN YOU REMIND US WHAT THOSE ARE? SO IN CASE ANY OF OUR COUNCIL MEMBERS HAVE SUGGESTIONS, JUST LIKE COUNCILMAN PERRY SAID, WHAT ARE THE CATEGORIES? SURE. 
          THERE'S A, RIGHT NOW THERE'S A COMMUNITY MEMBER, A GENERAL COMMUNITY MEMBER, ALTERNATE OPENING. 
          THERE ARE 6, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, UM, THAT ARE UP FOR EITHER, THEY'RE EXPIRING. 
          SO SOME OF THEM MAY REAPPLY, BUT, UH, THAT DOESN'T MEAN THEY'LL BE APPOINTED. 
          UH, BUT THAT'S A DEVELOPMENT REAL ESTATE PROFESSIONAL, A REGISTER, UH, REGISTERED PROFESSIONAL ENGINEER, TWO PLANNING PROFESSIONALS. 
          WHAT THAT MEANS IS AN A I C P OR AMERICAN INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED, UH, OF CITY PLANNERS. 
          UM, AND THEN ANOTHER COMMUNITY, UH, ANOTHER TWO COMMUNITY MEMBERS. 
          SO THOSE ARE THE ONES, AND I, AND I SHOULD JUST, THIS MIGHT BE A GOOD TIME. 
          THERE IS AN ADDITIONAL VACANCY, UH, THAT HAPPENED RECENTLY WITH MITCH, UH, ICK, UH, FROM THE PLANNING COMMISSION. 
          SO, UH, I'LL TAKE THIS OPPORTUNITY. 
          UH, MANY OF YOU KNOW THAT I HAVEN'T SHARED, I MEAN, I HAVEN'T TALKED ABOUT THIS, BUT SHE WAS A GREAT, UH, SUPPORTER OF THE, UH, PLANNING COMMISSION AND PTECH, AND SHE'LL BE SO MISSED. 
          SO MM-HMM. 
          , UH, JUST THINKING OF THAT, IT'S NOT ON MY LIST YET AS A VACANCY, BUT, UM, I'LL ADD THAT. 
          SO, AND, AND WHAT'S THE DEADLINE FOR APPLYING? UH, IT'S MARCH 20. 
          MARCH 20TH, RIGHT? MARCH 20TH. 
          MM-HMM. 
          . 
          UM, BECAUSE WE'D LIKE TO GET THEM, UH, SELECTED BEFORE, UH, THE EXPIRATION OF THE NEXT MEMBERS BECAUSE, UH, THE EXPIRATION JUST COINCIDES WITH, UM, THAT EARLY, EARLY MAY WHEN WE REALLY START KICKING OFF THOSE MEETINGS. 
          SO WE'LL SEE IF, UH, WE CAN GET PLENTY. 
          I THINK WE'VE GOTTEN A COUPLE ALREADY, TONY, IS THAT RIGHT? WE'VE ALREADY GOT A COUPLE APPLICATIONS, BUT IF YOU COULD HELP US GET THE WORD OUT, AND IF YOU NEED ANYTHING FROM US TO DO SO, WE, WE WOULD BE HAPPY TO, UM, GET THAT FOR YOU. 
          I THINK IT WOULD BE GOOD TO, I DON'T KNOW IF YOU COORDINATE WITH THE FOLKS WHO RUN THE NEIGHBORHOOD REGISTRY, BUT I THINK THAT'S A NATURAL, UH, WAY TO PROMOTE IT. 
          AND, YOU KNOW, TIER ONE, OBVIOUSLY VERY INVOLVED IN WHAT WE DO, SO IT'D BE GREAT TO HAVE THEIR, THEM ON BOARD TOO. 
          VERIFY. 
          WE DID SEND IT OUT TO ABOUT 400 ORGANIZATIONS, AND I, A LOT OF THOSE WERE PART OF THAT LIST. 
          OKAY. 
          BUT I'LL VERIFY IF WE DIDN'T, UH, WE, WE, WE DIDN'T MISS ANYBODY THAT WE NEED TO GET IT OUT TO. 
          THANK YOU VERY MUCH. 
          ALL THANK YOU, MAYOR. 
          THANK YOU. 
          COUNCIL MEMBER SANDOVAL. 
          COUNCIL MEMBER PERRY. 
          THANK YOU, SIR. 
          YEAH, THANK YOU, MIKE. 
          AND THIS IS A VERY IMPORTANT PROCESS HERE THAT WE'RE GONNA, LIKE YOU SAID, ONCE EVERY FIVE 
          [02:40:01]
YEARS. 
          UM, AND JUST LOOKING AT THE DATA FROM 2015, YOU HAVE, UH, HOW MANY WERE RECEIVED FROM EXTERNAL AND INTERNAL, AND THEN HOW MANY WERE APPROVED, EXTERNAL AND INTERNAL. 
          DO YOU HAVE ANY GLOBAL FEEL FOR WHAT WE'RE GONNA BE LOOKING AT THIS, THIS YEAR AT THIS POINT? I, I, I THINK THAT TWO THIRDS, ONE THIRD SPLIT, UH, YOU KNOW, SOUNDS ABOUT RIGHT IN TERMS OF A LOT OF THE WORK THAT'S HAPPENING WITH THE CITY ENTITIES, LIKE SUSTAINABILITY PLANNING AND OTHERS TO TRY TO GET CLOSER TO SOME OF THE, UH, RECENTLY ADOPTED PLANS. 
          UH, BUT THE NUMBERS, WHAT WE ARE ANTICIPATING 'CAUSE WE'RE GEARING UP AND STAFFING UP AND TRYING TO, YOU KNOW, BLOCK OFF ALL THIS MEETING TIME, WE'RE TELLING APPLICANTS HOW MUCH TIME WE THINK IT'S GONNA BE AND HOW MANY MEETINGS WE BELIEVE IT'S GONNA BE ABOUT DOUBLE. 
          WE, WE, WE THINK FIVE OR 600 AMENDMENTS MIGHT COME OUR WAY. 
          HOLY MOLY. 
          DOUBLE. 
          WE, WE, WE THINK SO. 
          WOW. 
          WE, WE, WE HAVE A LOT OF, WHY DO YOU THINK THE, WHY DO YOU THINK THAT LARGE OF AN INCREASE? I, I THINK IT'S A VARIETY OF ISSUES. 
          I THINK CERTAINLY WE HAVE SOME VERY IMPORTANT PLANNING, UH, DOCUMENTS AND, AND PRINCIPLES AND POLICY DIRECTION THAT WE HAVE RECEIVED FROM THE COUNCIL, WHETHER IT BE THE CLIMATE PLAN, WHETHER IT BE, UH, TRANSPORTATION ISSUES THAT WE'VE BEEN RECENTLY AFFORDABLE HOUSING, UH, AND BARRIERS TO THAT. 
          UH, BUT WE ALSO HAVE, UH, I WOULD SAY MORE EDUCATED AND MORE ENGAGED NEIGHBORHOODS, UH, THAT WE'VE BEEN TALKING WITH OVER THE LAST FIVE YEARS THAN EVER IN TERMS OF A LOT OF THE REDEVELOPMENT THAT WE'RE SEEING, UH, IN EXISTING NEIGHBORHOODS AND, AND SOME OF THE PRESSURES THAT THEY'RE FEELING. 
          UH, WE'VE DONE A FEW CODE AMENDMENTS ON THAT JUST THIS PAST YEAR. 
          SO, UH, FOR EXAMPLE, UH, SOMEONE MENTIONED THE TIER ONE, I THINK IT WAS COUNCILWOMAN, UH, MAYBE ALREADY MENTIONED THE TIER ONE JUST A MINUTE AGO. 
          WE, WE WILL BE, WE'LL BE, UH, ATTENDING AND WE'RE ALL PROMOTING THEIR, UM, THEY'RE HAVING A, A, A CODE CONFERENCE, U D C CODE CONFERENCE THIS SATURDAY. 
          UH, I DON'T REMEMBER THERE EVER BEING THAT FIVE YEARS AGO OR LONGER AGO. 
          SO WE, WE JUST BELIEVE THAT THERE'S MORE PEOPLE INTERESTED AND ENGAGED, AND THAT'S NOT A BAD THING. 
          UH, THAT'S ACTUALLY A GOOD THING. 
          SO THAT'S WHY WE'RE GEARING UP FOR THAT MANY POTENTIAL AMENDMENTS, UH, AND BEING ABLE TO, UH, WORK THROUGH THAT AND BE RESOURCED FOR IT. 
          SO I THINK WE'RE READY. 
          OKAY. 
          GREAT. 
          UM, BUT DON'T QUOTE ME ON THAT. 
          LOOKING FORWARD TO IT. 
          BUT, UH, AGAIN, I, I THINK ONE OF THE, ONE OF THE INTENTS OF THIS IS TO CLEAN UP, YOU KNOW, ORDINANCES THAT DON'T EVEN NEED TO BE OUT THERE ANYMORE. 
          THINGS THAT ARE, YOU KNOW, LOOKING AT A COST BENEFIT ANALYSIS ON, YOU KNOW, SHOULD WE REALLY BE PLACING THAT BURDEN ON WHATEVER, WHATEVER THE SITUATION IS. 
          AND, YOU KNOW, FOR ANY OF THOSE IDEAS, YOU KNOW, I HOPE THAT THE COST BENEFIT ANALYSIS IS PART OF THAT PROCESS ON EACH AND EVERY ONE OF THESE, SO THAT IT CAN BE VERY CLEAR, YOU KNOW, WHAT THIS CITY WILL BE IMPOSING ON A HOMEOWNER, A DEVELOPER, A BUSINESS, ANYONE OUT THERE, UH, TO COMPLY WITH WHATEVER WE'RE GONNA SAY NEEDS TO HAPPEN OUT THERE. 
          MM-HMM. 
          . 
          SO, YEAH. 
          UH, REALLY LOOK FORWARD TO THIS PROCESS. 
          APPRECIATE IT. 
          MIKE. 
          THANK YOU VERY MUCH. 
          THANK YOU. 
          THANK YOU.
