Description
No description was provided for this meeting.
If this is YOUR meeting, an easy way to fix this is to add a description to your video, wherever mtngs.io found it (probably YouTube).
A
February
9th
it's
4
P.M
I
want
to
start
on
time
just
to
honor
everybody's
time
and
commitment
to
the
program
and
things
that
you
guys
have
to
do
before
and
after
so
it
is
now
4
P.M.
We
start
the
meetings
off
with
a
prayer
and
the
Pledge
of
Allegiance.
So
if
you
could
stand
we'll,
have
a
student
come
do
the
prayer
and
then
follow
in
that
student
will
have
another
student
to
do
the
Pledge
of
Allegiance.
C
D
Okay,
if
you
please
face
the
flag,
I
pledge
allegiance
to
the
flag
of
the
United
States
of
America
and
to
the
Republic
for
which
it
stands.
One
nation
under
God,
indivisible
with
liberty
and
justice
for
all.
A
And
so
for
the
for
the
purposes
of
live
stream,
I'll
just
keep
walking
up
to
reintroduce
what
we're
doing
to
give
everybody.
That
is
that
for,
if,
if
they're
re-watching,
this
a
first
time,
Watcher
to
kind
of
give
them
a
little
briefing.
E
A
A
The
idea
of
the
program
that
it
starts
in
September
and
ends
in
May
we're
more
of
a
hybrid
program
because
we
begin
in
January
pretty
much
and
so
we'll
start
with
our
agenda
and
we'll
bring
up
our
first
presenter
to
start
the
meeting
and
after
our
first
presenter
comes
then
we'll
open
it
up
for
public
comments
due
to
scheduling
we'll,
allow
the
police
department
to
present
first
and
then
we'll
go
into
public
comments.
So
anybody
from
the
public
can
come
up
and
make
a
comment
to
the
youth.
A
F
Can
you
hear
me
okay,
so,
first
of
all,
this
is
exciting
and
I
am
thrilled
to
be
able
to
work
with
the
youth
in
the
community,
because
we
do
have
some
serious
issues
that,
as
a
police
department,
we
could
use
your
help
with,
and
what
I'm
going
to
be
talking
about
today
is
fentanyl
I
know,
we've
all
heard
some
Rumblings
and
grumblings
about
that
via
social
media.
The
news,
some
of
the
issues
that
other
areas
are
having,
but
we're
seeing
a
rise
in
these
issues
here
even
locally
in
the
City
of
Beaumont.
F
Unsuspecting
teens
in
our
community
are
getting
fake
pills
made
from
deadly
fentanyl
on
social
media
and
other
locations,
not
just
in
the
City
of
Beaumont,
but
all
over
the
United
States
fentanyl
is
50
to
100
times
more
potent
than
morphine.
You
can't
smell
it
or
taste
it.
You
can't
tell
if
fentanyl
is
in
the
pills
by
looking
at
them.
F
The
amount
of
fentanyl
that
it
takes
to
overdose
is
equivalent
to
two
grains
of
sand
and
with
unsuspecting
teens,
whether
they're
going
to
parties
or
they
think
they're,
getting
appeal
from
a
friend
for
pain,
something
like
hydrocodone
oxy.
Any
of
those
things
that
we're
coming
across
now,
our
narcotics
detectives
and
our
people
at
the
Jefferson
County
Crime
Lab,
when
I
work
with
them
and
put
together
reports
for
when,
like
Governors
and
people
like
that,
come
into
town
we're
seeing
stats
from
2021
that
are
already
very
alarming.
F
And
what
I'm
asking
you
today
is
for
help
developing
not
just
PowerPoints
but
different
videos,
different
things.
We
can
do
that.
Can
Target
not
just
High
School
age,
but
Middle,
School
age,
because
we're
seeing
deaths
are
occurring
in
ages
as
young
as
10
and
8
years
old.
Even
in
the
state
of
Texas
I
challenge
you
to
look
up
just
look
up
Fentanyl
and
some
of
the
videos
that
they
have
out
there
they're
not
hard
to
find
there's
a
lot
of
information
all
over
the
Internet
social
media
and
it's
scary
and
alarming
for
our
city.
G
Yes,
ma'am,
so
thank
you
very
much
for
coming.
We
greatly
appreciate
the
police
department,
sending
representative
speak
to
us
so
about
the
sources
of
fentanyl
in
our
community.
So
where
would
you
say
the
the
the
greatest
source
of
fentanyl
is
for
youth
in
Beaumont.
F
Well,
I
can
tell
you
where
it
originally
comes
from
and
how
it's
getting
here.
As
far
as
the
actual
drug
dealer,
it's
everywhere
everything
that
we're
coming
across
now,
whether
we're
doing
a
search
warrant
from
stuff
that
people
are
buying
on
the
streets.
Now
these
are
not
prescribed
fentanyl
or
you
know
the
type
that
you
get
when
you
go
in
to
have
surgery.
This
is
the
street
drugs.
F
Well,
I
have
to
take
this
much
meth
or
meth
is
still
our
largest
problem
here,
but
fentanyl
has
just
been
warming
its
way
into
everything
that
we're
doing
it's
in
again
in
our
pills
and
things
so
a
person
that
may
think
well
I
usually
take
this
many
Adderall
and
I
need
to
take
more
because
I
have
such
a
high
tolerance
will
get
a
hold
of
something
with
fentanyl
in
it
and
it's
deadly.
They
don't
understand
just
how
deadly
just
a
little
bit
of
fentanyl
can
be
to
them.
F
G
Yes,
ma'am
and
just
one
second
question:
sorry,
so
what
is
BPD
currently
doing
now
to
alleviate
the
crisis.
F
Our
narc,
we
have
a
unit,
a
narcotics
unit
that
focuses
primarily
on
drug
related
crimes
and
they
target
street
level
dealers.
They
work
with
different
task
force.
We
work
with
DEA,
we
work
with
even
a
lot
of
different
federal
agencies
and
other
local
narcotics.
We
have
a
Jefferson
County
Narcotics
task
force,
so
we
partner
together
and
do
what
we
can
to
combat
it.
F
But
you
know
enforcement
of
one
side
of
it,
but
we
we
need
to
be
proactive
and
get
the
message
out
to
youth
I'm
doing
my
part
I'm
trying
to
get
out
and
speak
with
different
schools
and
talk
to
the
kids,
but
we
could
sure
use
help,
helping
put
out
different
information
and
initiatives
and
ideas
that
will
get
the
message
out.
Thank
you.
Yes,
okay.
C
Hello,
hi
I'm
Miriam,
head
of
Public
Safety.
So
when
you
said
you
wanted
us
to
collaborate,
what
were
you
thinking
like
hold
meetings?
We.
F
Could
we
could
meet
or
you
guys
could
email
send
ideas?
We
could
bounce
those
off
back
and
forth.
You
know
there's
different
types
of
campaigns,
even
maybe
advertising
or
just
creating
you
know.
Some
areas
have
one
pill
can
kill,
is
their
slogan.
Maybe
something
catchy
for
the
City
of
Beaumont
that'll
get
kids
attention,
you
know,
I,
don't
know.
If
maybe
you
would
be
interested
in
creating
your
own
committee
on
it.
That's
up
to
you
guys,
but
I'm
open
for
suggestions
and
I'll
work
with
you
guys
on
whatever
level.
You
need
me
to
okay.
H
Yes,
I
was
wondering,
if
also
maybe
you'd
be
open
to
come
to,
like
especially
the
high
schools,
because
I
feel,
like
that's
a
big
issue
and
I
feel
like
that's
when
they're
really
starting
to
get
into.
If
maybe
y'all
would
be
willing
to
come,
speak
to
the
kids
or
I
know,
there's
also
been
a
decline
in
job.
Like
you
know,
maybe
a
lot
of
jobs
are
needed
and
a
lot
of
the
high
school
students.
They
don't
know
what
they
want
to
do
after
high
school.
F
Yes,
ma'am:
that's
what
our
unit
does
we
go
around
and
we
speak
to
all
the
schools
in
the
area.
We
start
from
elementary
up.
We
work
with
all
ages
and
grades
and
we
also
address
suicide,
bullion
social
media
issues,
but
right
now,
today,
I'm
bringing
forward
the
fentanyl
issue
because
I'm
really
concerned
about
even
city
manager.
Our
new
city
manager
here
has
talked
about
the
problems
that
he
was
having
at
his
previous
City
Buddha
kids
dying
in
the
schools
overdosing
with
fentanyl.
F
A
A
G
G
All
right
so
we're
going
to
be
moving
towards
the
public
comment
portion
of
the
agenda.
So
if
there
are
any
members
of
the
public,
you
have
three
minutes
to
speak
on
any
on
any
item
on
the
agenda
so
the
time
for
that
begins
now.
So,
if
anyone
who
would
like
to
speak.
G
All
right
so
moving
on
to
presentations,
so
the
February
groups
PowerPoint,
is
today
so
if
they
would
please
begin
their
presentation,
we're
ready
for
that
now.
G
I
I
I
They
are
to
be
parked
out
of
the
way
or
away
from
pedestrians
and
never
blocking
drivers.
The
writers
must
be
18
years
of
age
to
access
the
scooters
and
they're
also
encouraged
to
wear
helmets
on
every
ride
and
Obey
all
the
rules.
It
states
that
it
must
be
one
Rider
per
scooter
and
they're
encouraged
to
ride
in
bike
Lanes
instead
of
the
roads.
I
Next
slide,
please,
the
bird
scooters
pose
a
threat
to
any
Beaumont
citizen.
Although
the
scooters
are
specifically
unsafe
for
miners
without
a
permit,
the
bird
suiters
have
no
regulations
and
can
be
written
anywhere
in
the
city
as
long
as
payment
is
provided.
This
can
lead
to
injuries
and
even
fatalities.
I
Next
slide,
please
citizens
from
all
over
the
United
States
have
been
getting
hurt
over
these
scooters.
According
to
a
study
in
2019,
271
people
were
injured
from
a
bird
scooter
related
accident
in
Austin
Texas.
These
accidents
range
from
Falls
broken
bones,
hospitalizations
and
fatalities.
This
is
due
to
the
lack
of
restrictions.
These
scooters
have
embedded
within
their
operation
times
the
small
restrictions
that
these
bird
scooters
have
without
them.
Shutting
down
over
certain
periods
of
time
can
lead
to
injuries
and
increases
crime
rate
in
areas
specifically
in
Beaumont.
I
J
A
Yes,
riyash,
you
want
to
address
that.
J
So
the
company
that
these
bird
scooters
belong
to
is
based
in
California
in
Los
Angeles
and
it's
called
bird
rides
and
the
City
of
Beaumont
actually
partnered
with
bird
droids
in
last
year,
March
of
2022
almost
nearly
a
year
ago,
and
the
goal
of
this
of
partnering
with
birdrise
was
to
bring
environmentally
safe
e-scooters
in
several
locations
around
the
city,
and
so
the
idea
was
to
have
an
alternative
form
of
transportation
that
was
both
efficient
and
sustainable
and
on
Bird's
website
they
state
that
Riders
must
be
18
years
of
age
and
they
recommend
wearing
a
helmet.
J
However,
this
overly
optimistic
idea
of
law-abiding
citizens
riding
e-scooters
on
the
same
roads
as
Vehicles
was
not
the
reality,
while
bird
does
have
an
age
requirement.
Lack
of
enforcement
of
this
demand
has
wrecked
Havoc
to
the
City
of
Beaumont,
with
numerous
examples
of
teenagers
and
even
pre-teens
who
have
no
understanding
of
road
laws.
Using
these
scooters.
Moreover,
bird
only
recommends
wearing
a
helmet
while
riding
the
key
word
being
recommend
and
not
require
and
enforce.
In
a
2019
study.
L
So
I
come
with
a
solution
to
this
issue.
I
feel
like
we
should
have
age
limit.
As
he
said,
there
is
an
age
limit
to
be
18
and
over,
but
it's
not
enforced,
which
could
be
very
hard
to
enforce
because
you
can
find
them
anywhere.
So
anybody
could
get
on
them,
so
I
feel
having
an
age
limit
will
reduce
the
amount
of
Youth
accidents.
No
child
under
the
age
of
12
should
be
permitted
to
ride
the
scooters,
because
you
can
have
a
six-year-old
scooters.
L
That's
not
even
tall
enough
to
see
over
the
scooter
and
hold
it
like
this.
That's
not
safe
and
having
at
least
one
adult
for
every
child
between
the
ages
of
12
and
17
years
old
would
be
ideal,
and
if
you're
18,
you
could
ride
freely,
which
was
said
also
I,
feel
we
should
have
a
driver's
license
because
having
a
driver's
license,
you
know
the
rules
of
the
road
and
what's
safe
to
ride
on
where
is
it
safe
to
go?
Which
lane
to
ride
on
which
lane
not
to
ride
on
where
to
turn?
L
L
We
want
to
ensure
that
everyone
riding
the
scooters
knows
the
basic
traffic
laws,
also
having
restricted
areas
not
allowing
kids
to
ride
on
highways,
I've
seen
kids
ride
to
my
school
all
the
way
from
the
other
side
of
town
with
these
scooters,
which
is
not
safe
at
all,
riding
on
the
highways
with
a
scooter
is
not
safe,
also
not
allowing
them
to
ride
on
streets
at
all.
We
need
to
find
a
way
to
build
sidewalks
for
those
scooters
and
restricting
the
scooters
itself
actually
from
going
on
busy
roads.
G
Okay,
so
just
one
question
about
it
so
and
any
of
y'all
from
the
group
feel
free
to
answer.
So
what's
the
current
regulatory
environment,
like
for
bird
scooters
like
what
are
the
rules
like
as
they
stand
now,.
J
J
G
L
M
So
you
guys
talked
about,
like
you
know,
doing
enforcement
in
restricted
areas
and
you
propose
a
solution
with
the
driver's
license.
So
I
think
what
you
guys
are
trying
to
say
is
that
there's
issues
with
enforcement
right.
So
how
would
you
solve
that?
Exactly
because,
obviously
you
have
verification,
but
verification
doesn't
mean
enforcement.
So
what
Solutions
you
guys
or
ideas
do
you
guys
have
regarding
that.
I
I
feel
like
Beaumont
PD.
They
do
Patrol
areas
specifically
in
areas
where
there's
parks
of
libraries
or
anywhere
really
I
feel
like
it
should
be
enforced
in
a
sense
of
if,
if
a
cop
happens,
to
see
a
child
not
following
the
rules
of
a
bird
scooter,
they
see
them
in
an
unrestricted
area.
They
should
stop
them
and
you
know
deal
with
them.
Accordingly.
I
Maybe
propose
a
fine
for
parents,
letting
their
children
go
without
permission
or
getting
in
contact
with
an
adult
if
they're
under
the
age
of
12,
and
if
they
are
over
the
age
of
12,
which
is
what
the
limit
we
are
enforcing
and
they're
still
breaking
the
rules.
There
should
still
be
a
fine
enforced.
G
K
You
yeah
Josh
I
was
thinking,
maybe,
instead
of
a
fine,
we
could
do
community
service
that
would
get
them
more
involved
in
the
community
and
I
feel
like
you
would
learn
a
bigger
lesson
that
way
than
by
paying
a
fine.
J
G
Any
further
comment,
all
right,
so
we're
going
to
move
to
agenda
item
number
two
discussing
the
2023
youth
advisory
commission
Summit.
So
sir,
if
you
can
put
that
presentation
up,
thank
you.
Okay,.
A
Perfect
I
guess
I'll
lead
part
of
the
discussion
and
the
presentation
will
be
next
right
after
I
follow
the
discussion.
We'll
probably
ask
councilman
Turner
to
come,
make
some
comments
me
and
him
attended
the
conference
in
Dallas
this
past
weekend
and
Miss
Lundy
Brittany
Lundy
with
Beaumont
Early
College.
She
was
an
instructor,
so
she
came
as
a
chaperone.
We
left.
What
time
do
we
leave
Rob
two
around
two
something
we
we
plan
to
leave
around
12,
but
we
left
around
two.
A
We
had
some
glitches
on
the
way
there,
but
I
think
it
was
a
time
of
bonding
I
think
we
had
fun.
I
learned
that
I
answered
questions
too
vague
and
I
need
to
be
a
little
bit
more
detailed.
So
you
know,
I
was
asked
about
different
artists
and
things
like
that:
Apple
music.
It
was
very
uncomfortable
but
I'm
joking.
No,
it
was
a
fun
time.
So
we
took
five
students
to
a
trip
in
Dallas.
It
was
a
Texas
youth
advisory.
Summit
I
was
able
to
attend.
They
had
sessions
for
adults.
A
So
there
are
other
groups
across
state
of
Texas
who
have
youth
councils.
One
thing
I
did
take
away.
Was
because
of
well
I,
just
I
was
I'll
start
with
this.
When
I
grew
up,
I
went
to
programs
like
the
YMCA,
they
have
Boys
and
Girls
Club
programs,
different
community
outreach
groups
and
I
think
with
the
shortage
and
funding
in
those
organizations,
cities
are
expecting
I
mean
communities
are
expecting
cities
to
take
on
that
kind
of
burden
by
creating
a
program.
A
So
most
of
the
programs
that
we
talked
to
they
were
more
community
outreach
volunteer
heavy.
They
were
not
really
heavy
on
policy
agenda.
The
format
that
we
have,
which
I
think
sets
us
apart.
It's
a
unique
opportunity
for
us
to
stay
focused
on
being
a
governmental
entity,
but
as
well
growing
in
our
community
outreach
and
so
I
I
walked
away
thinking.
You
know,
I
had
programs
like
the
YMCA
growing
up,
but
nowadays
those
programs
are
underfunded.
A
But
you
know
that
was
one
thing:
I
noticed
most
of
the
groups
we
communicated
with
either
hadn't
started
a
program
or
their
program
was
more
community
outreach
and
what
you
know
I
left
with
thinking
we
needed.
We
can
do
a
better
job,
and
this
is
our
third
meeting.
A
So
we
have
a
lot
of
room
to
grow,
but
we
could
do
a
better
job
by
supporting
organizations
that
are
currently
doing
it
without
duplicating
that
service,
still
being
a
governmental
body
and
do
more
education,
around
government
and
policy
and
procedure,
and
so
I
left
encourage
I
left
thinking
that
we
could
be
the
best
youth
Council
in
the
state
of
Texas
I'm,
very
confident
on
that
I'm,
pretty
sure
that's
going
to
happen
within
this
year
or
in
the
Years
moving
forward.
A
The
way
we're
set
up
and
I
think
the
the
youth
feel
that
myself
and
councilman
Turner-
and
you
know
our
staff
and
Council
and
everybody-
that's
involved-
really
care
about
the
youth.
So
you
know
that's
the
starting
point.
They
feel,
like
you,
know,
we're
not
there
for
agenda
or
anything
like
that,
we're
there
really
to
serve
them
to
learn
and
we're
also
being
we're
being
fluid
in
our
approach.
A
We're
we're
allowing
the
youth
to
tell
us
what
their
issues
are,
and
maybe
they
have
a
different
system
of
how
to
solve
problems,
and
so
we're
trying
to
walk
through
that
process
and
allow
them
to
help
us
solve
issues
that
they
face
because
those
same
issues
they
face,
we
face
as
a
city
and
so
I
think
it's
a
left
thinking,
it's
a
win-win.
It's
a
great
opportunity.
We
have
a
great
group
of
kids
and
they're
excited
about
going
to
other
conferences.
N
Councilman
AJ
Turner,
Beaumont,
Texas,
3170,
Yasmine,
Dior,
77705.,
first
and
foremost,
I
want
to
say
thank
you
guys
for
even
attending
the
conference.
One
thing
that
I
did
realize
is
our
setup
is
completely
different
from
most
youth
councils.
N
We
actually
give
you
guys
the
opportunity
to
engage,
create
policy
and,
most
importantly,
what
we
always
talk
about
we're
going
to
identify
the
problems,
but
what
we're
going
to
do
we're
going
to
come
with
Solutions,
so
the
presentation
was
great.
With
the
bird
scooters,
I'm
gonna
touch
on
that
real
quickly.
N
Before
we
move
on
right
now,
the
City
of
Beaumont
is
currently
at
a
pause
with
birds
coolers
because
we're
assessing
and
evaluating
their
contract,
seeing
what
edits
and
what
things
we
want
to
make
and
if
we're
going
to
continue,
if
we're
going
to
stop
so
I
think
we
had
a
good
starting
point
today.
What
I,
really
like
you
guys
to
see
it
well
I'd,
really
like
to
see
with
you
guys,
is
I,
took
some
notes.
N
I
noticed
y'all
said:
IDs
has
to
be
used
to
rent
it
so
right
now
bird
has
their
standard
laws
and
agreements,
but
we,
the
council,
we
can
overpower
that
and
say
yeah
we're
going
to
take
it
a
step.
Further
y'all
might
have
this.
You
got
to
be
18
years
of
age
but
to
rent
it
in
Beaumont
Texas.
You
got
to
provide
an
ID,
so
I'm
glad
I'm
listening
to
y'all,
because
now
I
can
understand
some
of
the
concerns
that
y'all
have
so
the
ID
can
be
won,
scooters
being
in
isolated
areas.
N
We
could
put
a
Geo
fence
up,
so
it
can
only
be
in
certain
areas
which
I'll
choose
main
thoroughfares
I.
Think
you
guys
need
to
identify
the
streets
that
you
feel
like
are
too
busy
for
bird.
So
next
I
would
ask
y'all
to
supply
me
with
a
list
of
streets,
and
now
I
can
go
to
staff
and
say
these
are
the
list
of
streets.
Iu
Council
has
identified
that
we
feel
is
unsafe,
so
I
think
y'all
on
the
right
track.
N
Everything
y'all
said
was
right,
but
let
me
get
into
the
conference
what
impressed
me
the
most
is
I
feel
like
I5
students
stood
out,
every
room,
I
went
in
I,
noticed,
y'all
were
kind
of
leading
the
conversation.
You
know,
I
seen
some
kids
kind
of
sitting
back,
but
I
seen
y'all
actually
taking
the
lead,
and
that's
one
thing
that
really
impressed
me
to
say
you
guys
have
been
only
active
for
three
weeks
and
we
have
had
other
groups
that
have
been
active
for
years.
You
couldn't
tell
the
difference.
N
One
thing
I
want
y'all
to
think
about.
Is
we
went
to
their
conference,
so
let's
figure
out
a
way
that
we
can
create
a
conference
out
here
next
year,
all
right
so
now
what
we
want
to
do
moving
forward
when
we
travel,
let's
build
relationships,
let's
Network,
let's
get
contact,
so
we
can
formulate
our
own
conference
in
the
City
of
Beaumont
and
I.
N
Think
once
y'all
get
a
feel
for
how
they're
doing
things
we
could
put
our
own
twist
to
it
and
make
sure
we
had
the
best
conference
in
Texas,
like
Miles,
said
I,
think
y'all
are
really
standing
out.
Civil
discourse
was
a
real
good
one.
For
me,
y'all
had
the
opportunity
to
speak
with
lawyers,
different
versions
of
lawyers,
and
if
you
were
interested
in
going
to
that
career,
you
would
know
so
I
think
that'd
be
real
good
for
you,
so
the
next
one
I
want
to
make
sure
you
really
pay
attention
to
that.
N
Another
one
was
professionalism.
This
stood
out
because
it's
just
the
basic
necessities
of
Simply
being
professional.
You
know
when
it
comes
to
a
tire
how
to
speak,
what
to
wear
I
think
they
hit
the
nail
on
the
head
with
that
one.
The
other
one
was
help
me
out,
there's
two
more
marketing
and
Brandon,
which
is
my
favorite,
and
you
did
a
great
job
roulette
with
market
and
Brandon.
Like
you
killed
it
and
to
say
you
killed
it.
The
good
thing
is
what
you
actually
do
on
the
youth
Council
right
now.
N
Oh
well,
I'm
too
late
yeah.
Are
you
a
step
ahead
of
the
curve?
I
love
that
so
yeah?
That's
great,
but
that's
another
thing
miles.
You
took
the
initiative
and
you've
already
made
the
contacts
and
that's
what
I
like
about
this
group
miles.
You
asked
him
to
answer
the
question.
You
guys
are
running
the
show
we're
not
here
to
tell
you
guys
what
to
do.
N
You're
running
the
show
you
want
the
bird
policy
change,
I'm
telling
y'all
present
it
to
me
and
I'll
present
it
for
y'all,
and
we
can
present
it
together
because
Sam
is
now
approved
to
make
a
presentation
to
the
council
monthly.
Okay.
Last
thing,
it
was
one
more
that
you
guys
did,
that
was
initiative
and
development.
They
gave
scenarios
where
you
guys
had
to
have
solutions
to
problems,
and
it
wasn't
a
lot
of
time
to
figure
it
out.
Y'all
I
went
up
there.
Y'all
y'all
submitted
your
Solutions
and
I.
N
Think
everybody
from
Beaumont
done
a
great
job.
I
specifically
tried
to
watch
our
kids
or
young
adult
so
I,
don't
want
to
say
kids
but
y'all
doing
a
great
job
and
I'm
just
looking
forward
to
seeing
y'all
grow
throughout
this
process,
all
right.
So
if
y'all
got
any
questions
or
anything
y'all
know
from
me,
I
was
extremely
proud
to
say:
I
sat
in
the
audience
and
watched
y'all
perform
at
a
high
level
of
Excellence
I,
really
appreciate
it.
A
Before
we
move
to
our
next
point
out,
I
do
want
to
acknowledge
two
staff
members
that
are
here:
Lauren
Monet
she's
over
our
Communications
Department
did
an
excellent
job
with
a
media
training
that
it
was
a
two-day
training
where
staff
you
know,
directors
and
people
who
are
in
interacting
with
the
media
were
trained.
You
know,
I
think
that
I'm,
a
outspoken
well-spoken
kind
of
person,
but
I
learned
a
lot
today
in
that
training
and
she's
been
connecting
with
Arlette
in
our
youth
advisory
Council.
A
O
For
having
that
dress
here,
Kenneth
Williams
city
manager
Beaumont
a
pleasure
to
be
here
today,
councilmember
I'm,
still
apologizing
to
you,
I'm,
just
I'd
like
to
say,
I'm,
grateful
and
appreciate
the
things
that
you
are
doing.
You're
setting
an
example
for
all
of
the
young
people
of
Beaumont.
That's
going
to
go
well
well
into
the
future.
You
know
realize
the
impact
that
you're
having
but
one
day
you
will
you'll
think
back,
say:
I
was
sitting
there.
O
I
was
sitting
at
the
Dias
I
was
I,
was
in
I,
had
to
keep
pointing
making
decisions
and
then
you're
going
to
come
back
and
actually
be
a
part
of
that
decision-making
process
with
the
city
of
other
parts
of
government.
So
I.
O
Thank
you
for
what
you're
doing
I
think
the
work
that
miles
is
doing
with
you
or
appreciate
that,
of
course,
the
council
and
council
member
Turner
and
the
work
that
he's
doing
with
you
he's
really
sacrificing
to
work
with
you
and
you
couldn't
have
a
better
Mentor
council
member
to
work
with
you.
So,
just
thank
you
for
what
you're
doing
if
we
can
do
anything
to
help
you
just
let
us
know
we'll
be
glad
to
thank
you.
G
P
Hello
guys
so
this
past
weekend,
I
had
the
opportunity
to
attend
the
Dallas
Texas
youth
advisory,
Council
Summit
with
Yash
Catherine
and
then
Miriam
and
Arlette.
P
P
D
So,
like
Isaac
and
Mr
Ross
said
we
had
a
couple
bumps,
but
we
were
able
to
go
for
20
minutes
and
enjoy
the
dance
where
we
kind
of
got
a
little
preview
of
what
the
council
or
the
conference
was
going
to
be
like
for
the
next
few
days.
I,
don't
know
it
kind
of
made
me
feel
at
ease
a
little
bit
see
the
leaders
that
were
going
to
be
leading
our
conference
for
the
next
few
days.
P
C
Were
like
I
think
they
were
like
they
were
from
different
districts
of
Dallas
and
each
district
came
together
to
make
the
conference,
so
they
all
like
collaborated
off
of
different
schools
and
branches.
P
Yeah-
and
we
got
to
stay
right
next
to
the
big
ball
that
they
have
in
Dallas.
That
was
really
cool,
okay
and
then
the
next
slide.
Okay
and
then
for
day,
two.
We-
it
was
mostly
workshops,
so
we
had
four
workshops
in
total
and
the
first
Saturday.
It
was
three
of
the
workshops
and
then
Saturday
was
one
since
it
Sunday.
It
was
one
since
it
was
half
a
day.
We
had
initiative
initiative,
development,
branding
and
marketing
professionalism
and
civil
disclosure.
Do
you
want
to
speak
more
on
ions,
whichever
one.
D
I'll
speak
on
professionalism,
I,
guess
that
was
my
favorite
I
guess,
Workshop
of
the
four
as
Mr
Turner
mentioned.
It
was
based
on
a
tire,
your
tone
of
voice,
what
you
say
just
what
each
Council
represents
as
a
whole
and
I
found
it
really
interesting.
D
We
worked
on
elevator
talks,
I
had
never
personally
done
an
elevated
talk,
I,
don't
know
if
anyone
else
that
came
with
us
had,
but
it
was
really
interesting
and
a
really
quick
way
to
interact
with
the
other
councils
that
were
our
age
and
just
kind
of
get
to
know
them
on
a
better
level
and
from
that
I
took
away
that
in
those
first
few
seconds.
What
I
said
really
mattered,
because
these
kids,
it
was
the
first
time
they
ever
met
me.
So
it
was.
K
So
I
can
talk
about
our
next
one
that
we
had
with
civil
discourse.
So
in
this
one
we
basically
just
kind
of
learn
how
to
communicate
in
a
professional
manner
with
other
people
without
without
using
slang
and
all
the
other
stuff
that
we
say,
and
we
did
discuss
some
ethical
questions
that
had
to
do
with
government
health
care
and
various
topics
like
that,
and
so
what
I
really
liked
about
this
Workshop
is
how
the
people,
who
were
the
youth
they
were
about
around
our
age.
K
I
In
marketing,
I
have
a
big
bias,
as
you
can
tell,
but
what
they
asked
us
to
do
that
day
was
to
make
a
poster
over
an
initiative
and
kind
of
work.
Your
way
into
how
you
would
display
that
me
and
Miriam
actually
collaborated
on
that.
C
Y'all
left
me
with
the
most
challenging
one
initiative
and
development.
Basically,
we
were
each
randomly
handed
this
prompt.
It
gave
us
background
and
information
on
the
issue
you'd
be
addressing
and
it
showed
us
some
barriers.
We
had
barriers
and
we
had
to
address
those
barriers.
We
also
have
barriers
and
benefits,
and
we
also
had
to
address
both
of
those
and
come
up
with
solutions
to
the
problem.
C
They
wanted
us
to
be
very
specific,
step-by-step,
speak
appropriately
and
get
each
point
down
in
under
two
minutes,
and
we
had
like
what
30
15
minutes
to
come
up
with
this
idea,
and
there
was
of
course,
a
prize
at
the
end.
We
had
judges
and
the
judges
gave
really
good
feedback
on
how
we
did,
and
everyone
did
a
really
great
job
say
that.
P
So
that
was
pretty
much
our
Workshop
summed
up
and
then
I
wasn't
done,
I'm,
sorry
and
then,
after
a
full
day
of
learning,
we
got
to
go
I,
wouldn't
call
it
a
bowling
alley,
because
so
there
was
bowling
pins
set
up
on
both
sides
like
at
a
regular
bowling
alley,
but
instead
of
knocking
them
down
with
a
bowling
ball,
you
used
a
football
which
was
something
I
had
never
done
before.
I,
don't
know.
P
If
any
of
our
other
council
members
have
and
then
down,
there
is
Mr
miles
enjoying
lunch,
sorry
Hannah,
exposing
a
little
okay
and
then
now
you
can
go
to
the
next
one,
okay,
and
for
then
that
was
Sunday
our
third
day.
Our
last
day
we
had
breakfast
at
the
hotel.
By
this
time
we
got
to
interact
with
a
lot
of
the
other
councils
and
we
actually
made
friends
and
that's
who
we
sat
with
at
breakfast,
so
that
was
nice.
I
Being
able
to
mix
and
mingle
with
all
these
different
students
from
All
Over
Texas
was
amazing.
I
got
to
meet
people
that
were
just
like
me
and
the
complete
opposite
from
me,
and
that's
totally.
Okay,
because
through
those
new
networking
and
contact
informations
that
we've
got
from
these
different
students
that
tied
back
to
a
organization
which
was
another
Council
coming
from
a
different
city
with
similar
problems,
which
means
that
we
could
always
contact
each
other
for
second-hand
information
on
solutions
that
we
could
bring
here,
that
they
might
have
done,
and
vice
versa.
P
And
then
fine
that
was
half
a
day.
So
after
returning
on
our
way
back,
we
had
a
Microsoft
at
Bucky's.
It
was
we
were
all
in
favor
and
then
yeah
so
I'd
like
to
thank
everybody
who's
involved
with
it,
especially
Miss
miles.
We
can
go
to
the
next
slide.
He
was
with
us
there
from
the
beginning
to
the
end.
C
I
wanted
to
add
this.
It's
about
like
if
we
go
on
another
conference,
would
y'all
be
interested
in
like
shirts
matching
shirts,
because
I
noticed
that
a
lot
of
groups
had
some
type
of
matching
item
that
they
wore
each
day.
We
were
a
bit
overdressed,
no.
C
We
looked,
we
looked
really
good.
They
also
passed
out
like
pins
and
bracelets
for
schools,
so
would
y'all
be
interested.
P
G
Well,
thank
you
very
much
for
the
PowerPoint.
There
was
very
well
put
together
and
thank
you
guys
for
taking
the
initiative
and
attending
that
it
was.
It
was
very
good
to
be
represented
at
such
a
you
know,
well-attended
event.
So
thank
you
all
for
going.
G
E
Q
Just
a
moment
ago,
that
I'm
not
with
the
Beaumont
Homeless
Coalition,
because
it's
actually
two
different
organizations
with
two
different
Focus,
the
Beaumont
Coalition,
is
focused
on
the
city
with
serving
the
homeless
population
within
the
City
of
Beaumont,
the
Coalition
that
I'm
with
actually
looks
at
a
regional
perspective
and
so
we're
we
work
with
groups
in
Jefferson,
orange
and
Hardin
counties.
So
it's
a
different
little
bit
different
perspective,
but
still
we're
all
working
on
the
same
issue.
Q
So
there
I
was
told
that
y'all
were
interested
in
learning
about
homelessness,
and
so
I
have
three
questions
that
I'm
going
to
answer.
Try
to
answer
for
y'all
today.
The
first
question
is:
how
prevalent
is
homelessness
in
Beaumont?
The
second
is
what
causes
homelessness
and
the
third
is:
how
do
we
reduce
homelessness
right?
Those
are
some
big
questions.
I'm
gonna
do
my
best.
Q
So
let
me
start
with
how
prevalent
is
homelessness
in
Beaumont,
so
every
year
in
January
we
gather
volunteers
together
and
we
train
them,
and
then
we
send
them
out
into
the
community
to
conduct
needs
assessment,
surveys
with
homeless
individuals,
and
so
that
happens
at
the
end
of
January.
So
we
just
recently
completed
our
2023
count
and
while
those
numbers
are
not
yet
available,
we
have
to
go
through
a
process
to
make
sure
we
did
it
all
right.
Q
I
do
have
last
year's
numbers
for
the
City
of
Beaumont,
and
so,
let's
see
in
the
City
of
Beaumont
for
2022,
there
were
30
into
30
adults
who
were
in
homeless,
shelters
on
the
day
of
the
count,
and
there
were
21
children
in
shelters
on
the
day
of
the
count
unsheltered,
which
means
they
were
living
in
places
not
meant
for
human
habitation,
including
abandoned
buildings
in
the
parks
in
a
car
Etc.
There
were
111
individuals
in
the
City
of
Beaumont.
Q
Excuse
me,
so
we
know
that
there
are
far
more
than
that
in
the
city
that
are
experiencing
homelessness.
These
are
just
the
numbers
of
what
we
were
able
to
talk
to
and
conduct.
These
needs
assessment
surveys,
but
it
gives
us
a
place
to
start
to
understand
what
homelessness
might
look
like,
and
it
gives
us
a
way
to
compare
from
one
year
to
the
next
to
see
if
it's
going
up
or
down
or
how
our
interventions
might
be
affecting
it.
So
that's
the
answer
to
the
first
question.
Q
Q
So
I
have
a
handout
for
y'all.
First
question
is
what
causes
homelessness
at
the
top
of
the
page
and
you'll
see
there's
a
chart
on
here,
and
these
came
from
a
lot
of
research
that
has
been
done
to
identify
what
are
those
consistent
causes
of
homelessness
and
you
can
see
there's
a
ton
of
them
right
and
so
I
think
the
important
thing
to
look
at
did
y'all
have
enough
copies.
Yes,
I
have
more
of
you.
Q
So
the
important
thing
to
look
at
is
at
the
top.
We
see
biopsychosocial
risk
factors,
but
under
that
you
see,
on
the
left
hand,
side,
it
says
individual
and
on
the
right
hand,
side
it
says
structural
and
that
I
think
is
the
key
place
to
look
to
get
started.
Thank
you
because
when
we
talk
about
homelessness
and
what
leads
to
homelessness,
it's
not
just
about
what
happens
to
an
individual.
Q
It's
about
the
conditions
in
society
that
have
created
a
situation
where
those
conditions
might
happen,
but
it
also
gives
us
a
place
that
we
can
look
for
interventions
on
how
to
reduce
homelessness.
So
if
we
look
at
the
individual
category,
you
can
see
some
of
the
examples
are
mental
illness,
their
age,
their
education
level,
substance
abuse
and
many
many
others.
These
are
all
factors
that
have
something
to
do
with
an
actual
individual
person
and
their
experiences
positive
and
negative.
If
we
look
at
the
structural
side,
we
look
at
things
like
poverty
rates.
Q
We
look
at
loss
of
public
benefits.
We
look
at
housing
costs.
Housing
cost
is
tremendous.
It's
going
through
the
roof
that
influences
homelessness.
We
look
at
discrimination
at
low
wages.
We
look
at
health
care
costs.
There
are
many
factors
in
society
that
affect
if
individuals
are
likely
to
become
homeless,
and
so
I
really
hope
that
you
all
take
a
look
at
this.
It's
a
lot
of
information
I
totally
understand
that
take
a
look
at
it
and
think
about
it
and
think
about
how
these
different
elements
influence.
Q
Q
Who
do
we
spend
our
birthday
with?
Who
do
we
hang
out
with
on
the
weekends
that
that
is
actually
a
form
of
support
for
us
right?
Then?
If
we
move
to
the
left,
you
can
see
we
have
instrumental
needs
or
support.
Instrumental
support.
Just
means
tangible
things
right,
so
do
we
have
access
to
clothing?
Do
we
have
access
to
food?
Do
we
have
access
to
shelter?
Access
to
these
types
of
resources
are
really
important
in
the
in
the
consideration
of
homelessness.
Q
As
a
social
issue,
some
examples
are
places
that
we
might
find
instrumental
support,
include
food
banks,
churches,
soup,
kitchens,
shelters
and
clinics.
There's
many
more,
but
that's
just
an
idea.
If
we
move
up
to
the
top,
we
have
instrumental
support.
Excuse
me
informational
support,
and
this
is
when
we
know
where
to
turn
for
help
right,
and
so
my
guess
is:
if
I
asked
y'all,
where
can
you
go?
Q
If
you
need
food
right,
probably
most
of
y'all
would
be
able
to
tell
me
at
least
one
place
in
the
community
where
we
could
turn
and
ask
for
help
right,
and
so
that
is
a
form
of
support.
You're.
It's
able
we're
able
to
use
that
information
to
make
informed
decisions
to
find
resources
to
help
us
in
our
daily
life,
and
so
some
examples
in
our
community
for
informational
support
are
two
on
one,
which
is
an
information
and
referral
hotline.
If
y'all
don't
know
about
it,
make
a
mental
note.
Q
If
y'all
ever
need
information,
you
can
call
two
and
one
on
your
cell
phone
and
it'll
go
to
a
team
of
of
information
and
referral
Specialists,
and
you
can
tell
them
what
you
need
and
they
will
tell
you
what
in
the
community
meets
that
need
and
they'll
tell
you
how
to
get
a
hold
of
them,
really
a
valuable
2-1-1.
So
that's
one
example.
Q
Another
example
is
the
internet
right
how
many
of
y'all
Google
things
when
you,
when
you
need
to
right,
we
all
do
and
so
that's
a
resource,
because
we
know
how
to
look
things
up.
We
can
turn
to
our
friends.
Sometimes
we
turn
to
social
workers
or
other
professional
animals.
These
are
all
ways
that
we
gather
informational,
support
and
then
The
Fourth
Kind
is
social
emotional
support,
and
this
is
where
we
get
our
self-esteem
from.
This
is
really
when
someone
is
in
our
Corner.
They
say
I
believe
in
you.
Q
You
can
do
this
right
and
so
oftentimes
that
comes
from
teachers,
ministers,
friends
and
social
workers
sometimes,
and
lots
of
different
people
in
the
community.
But
social
emotional
is
a
really
important
form
of
support.
So,
if
we're
looking
at
these
four
different
types,
the
two
most
important
are
informational
and
social.
Emotional
can
y'all
guess
why.
C
Well,
they're,
like
the
two
most
things,
people
depend
on
having
self-esteem,
having
confidence
to
go
on
and
live
day
after
day
and
then
knowing
where
you
can
find
anything
that
can
help
you.
Q
Classes,
absolutely
informational
support
and
social
emotional
are
the
most
critical
because
they
are
empowerment.
They
are
forms
of
empowerment
so
that
people
feel
like
they
possess
what
they
need
to
get
what
they
need
to
get
the
help
to
get
the
support
exactly
and
out
of
all
four
of
these.
The
most
important
is
social
emotional
support.
Why?
Because
it's
when
we
believe
in
ourself,
if
we
don't
believe
in
ourselves,
then
we're
not
likely
to
call
an
organization
and
say
I
need
help,
because
why?
Q
Because
we
don't
feel
worthy,
but
when
we
feel
worthy
and
we
feel
like
we
have
the
ability
to
make
our
life
different,
we
are
much
more
likely
to
reach
out,
and
so
when
we're
looking
at
homelessness.
These
are
some
of
the
things
to
consider.
It's
not
a
simple
fix.
I
really
wish
it
was,
but
it's
not.
But
if
we
use
this
kind
of
information
we
can
make
informed
decisions
and
we
can
get
on
the
right
track,
so
I
think
I'm
almost
out
of
time,
so
do
y'all
have
any
questions.
Yes,.
R
Well,
it's
not
really
well
I
guess
it
is
a
question.
I
just
want
to
say
that
I
really
enjoyed
your
presentation
and
I
was
wondering
like
counseling.
So
I
said
earlier
about
the
BPD
coming
to
speak
to
our
high
schools.
Could
you
come
because,
like
a
lot
of
skit,
like
I,
didn't
know
about
any
of
this?
So
you
just
said
it
so
I
was
like
wonder
if
you
can
come
speak
to
our
high
schools
too.
Oh.
Q
Sure
I
love
doing
this
kind
of
stuff
and
I
actually
have
my
cards
I'm
going
to
start
here
if
y'all
can
just
pass
on
and
if
y'all
have
any
questions
on
here.
My
email
is
on
here
and
so
feel
free
to
reach
out
to
me,
I
would
love
to
answer
your
questions.
If
y'all
have
a
group
that
you
would
like
me
to
share
information,
I
really
am
all
about
informed
decision
making
and
so
I
feel
like
anytime.
G
Yes,
ma'am,
so
thank
you
very
much
for
your
presentation.
So
what
would
the
Regional
planning
committee
and
the
Homeless
Coalition
like
for
us
as
the
youth
Council,
to
try
and
move
towards
doing
like
like
what
course
of
action
or
like
policy
recommendations?
Do
you
have
for
us
I.
Q
Think
right
now,
our
recommendation
would
be
to
increase
awareness
about
homelessness
because
I
think
we
see
it
on
the
news
all
the
time
we
hear
about
it
on
the
internet,
but
we
don't
necessarily
really
know
much
about
it.
We
just
know
it's
an
issue,
so,
let's
help
people
understand
why
it's
an
issue.
How
does
it
happen?
How
prevalent
is
it?
Those
are
things
that
I
think
really
can
change,
how
we
see
and
how
we
respond.
Absolutely.
G
So
like,
if
there
was
like,
because
the
the
city
council
that
we
ultimately
report
to
is
going
to
measure
this
as
an
issue
in
terms
of
you
know,
Solutions
right
is
it
is
it?
Is
it
a
Personnel
issue?
Is
it
funding
that
they
want
some
kind
of
tangible
policy
option
to
alleviate
the
problems,
so
it
like
from
your
perspective,
what
is
the
like,
like
is?
Is
it
a
money
thing?
Is
it?
Is
it
like
a
new
Avenue
of
approach?
G
Q
I
think
that
is
a
is
the
question
and
the
problem
is
it's
not
easy
to
give
a
specific
answer?
You
know
we
could
say
Throw
money
at
shelter,
shelters,
okay,
that's
great!
That
shelters
and
houses,
someone
for
a
day
what
happens
when
they
they
time
out
of
that?
Well,
then,
what
kind
of
support
services
are
available
and
I
mean
it
just
goes
on
and
on,
and
so
when
I
talk
to
groups
who
are
looking
for
a
one
specific
thing,
I
say:
promote
Youth,
Development
programming.
Why?
Q
Because
we
know
that
children
who
experience
homelessness
have
a
higher
rate
of
homelessness
as
an
adult,
and
we
also
know
especially
for
girls,
who
experience
homelessness
as
teens,
that
their
rate
I
think
triples
as
adults,
because
they
don't
have
that
self-esteem,
oftentimes
and
Youth
Development
programming
really
strengthens,
as
you
all
can
tell
from
from
what
y'all
are
doing
right
now.
Right,
y'all
are
empowered,
y'all
are
being
y'all,
are
valued.
We
respect
each
other
thinking
and
saying,
and
we
want
to
support
you.
So
what
happens?
For
those
who
don't
have
that
experience?
Q
You
know
I
really
do
advocate
for
Youth
Development
programming.
It's
a
long-term
solution:
I
I
give
you
that,
but
it
can
be
impactful.
M
So,
thank
you
for
your
presentation.
So
I
had
two
questions
and
one
will
be
a
follow-up,
but
my
first
question
is:
what
do
you
see
the
expected
rise
to
be
in
homelessness?
You
can
give
us
something,
maybe
in
the
past
decade
or
so
in
Beaumont,
or
something
that
you
guys
foresee
in
the
next
few
years.
Q
So
right
now,
as
far
as
the
point
in
time,
count
numbers,
which
is
really
the
data
that
we
have
to
work
with.
Q
It's
staying
relatively
consistent
with
the
understanding
that
we
can't
we
haven't
been
able
to
get
to
everybody,
and
we
know
that
there's
probably
at
least
double
the
number
of
individuals
in
Beaumont
who
are
experiencing
homelessness
than
what
we
can
count
or
have
counted
up
until
now.
And
so
that's
one
of
the
things
that
my
Coalition
is
working
on,
trying
to
to
come
up
with
plans
and
develop
relationships
so
that
we
can
access
that
information
needs
assessment.
Q
M
Thank
you
I
appreciate
that
and
then
so
you
know
as
a
youth
Council,
we
sort
of
we
do
build
off.
You
know
other
ideas
that
are
going
on
in
community,
so
I
was
wondering.
Are
there
any
major
efforts
being
made
by
the
Homeless
Coalition
currently
to
solve
homelessness
like
at
this
current
moment
or
the?
Are
there
any
other
efforts
in
the
community
that
you
may
be
aware
of
that
way?
So
we
get
a
general
understanding
of
what
we're
working
with
sure.
Q
So
I
want
to
go
back
to
make
sure
I'm
clear
that
I'm
not
associated
with
the
Beaumont
Homeless
Coalition
I
attend
their
meetings,
usually
but
I'm
not
part
of
it.
I'm,
not
a
leader
for
it.
I
am
with
the
Southeast
Texas
regional
Coalition,
and
so
there
is
a
difference
in
my
Coalition
we're
we
much
more
focused
on
the
network
and
advocacy
for
services,
and
so
we
do
the
needs
assessment.
We
call.
Q
We
connect
different
programs
with
each
other,
so
they
can
collaborate
for
Grants
and
help
spread
those
dollars
farther,
and
so
that's
really
a
focus
for
our
program
in
the
Beaumont
Coalition.
There
may
be
someone
here.
I
don't
know.
Is
anyone
here
from
the
Beaumont
I?
Don't
want
to
know
what
one
so
for
for
the
Beaumont
Coalition
if
I
am
right,
I
believe
that
they're
focusing
on
increasing
shelter
access
right
now
and
they
also
have
recently
been
working
with
some
other
place,
to
increase
access
to
health
care
for
homeless
individuals.
Q
So
they're
not
having
to
you
know,
travel
across
town
but
I
know
some
other
place
now.
Has
health
workers
sometimes
who
come
in
periodically
they're,
also
developing
other
plans
like
the
Southeast
Texas
Food
Bank,
is
now
coming
to
some
other
place
to
to
distribute
fresh
food
and
I
know
that
they're
working
on
a
lot
of
collaborations,
and
so
beyond
that
I,
don't
want
to
say
too
much
because
I'm
not
really
sure,
but
I
know
that
those
things
are
in
place
right
now.
I.
A
N
I'm
just
gonna
hit
that
one
answer
that
you
guys
asked
of,
and
we
have
some
other
place.
We
have
Henry's
place
and
we
have
the
Salvation
Army,
the
Salvation
Army,
the
first
three
nights.
If
I'm
not
mistaken,
this
freedom,
is
it
25?
Is
it
ten
dollars?
It's
25
after
that,
so
the
first
three
three
nights
they
have
somewhere
for
free,
but
the
unfortunate
part
is,
after
the
first
three
nights,
it's
a
25
fee.
The
standpoint
that
we
are
right
now
in
the
City
of
Beaumont
is
in
order
to
suffice.
N
The
house
bill
that
was
filed
that
no
camping
under
the
freeways,
the
whole
nine.
You
have
to
have
a
destination
to
bring
the
homeless
to
right.
Now
the
City
of
Beaumont
doesn't
currently
currently
have
an
official
destination.
The
problem
is,
you
have
to
put
it
in
a
certain
area
in
every
area.
Each
council
member
is
wards.
So
now
this
problem
is
which
area
which
area
would
the
community
be
okay
with
a
homeless
Camp
being
in?
N
N
You
know,
bottle
in
and
provide
with
a
homeless
destination,
and
it
would
be
smart
to
kind
of
put
it
close
to
where
all
the
services
are
actually
provided
at
a
council
member
Mike
Getz
leads
the
Homeless
Coalition
and
that's
what
they're
working
on
right
now
finding
a
designated
area,
so
he
can
kind
of
come
to
the
council
and
do
a
presentation
on
whereabouts.
The
reason
I
know
we
talk
a
lot
and
he
kind
of
keep
me
updated.
I'm,
always
at
the
meetings
as
well.
So
I
think
that's
something.
N
C
This
is
just
from
a
financial
standpoint.
I
would
think
it'd
be
better
to
put
them
in
an
area
where
property
costs,
property
tax
is
low.
That
way,
it'll
be
easier
to
buy
the
land
and
build
and
put
homeless
people
there,
Plus,
usually
in
those
type
of
areas.
You
see
a
increase
of
homelessness
compared
to
areas
where
there's
higher
property
tax.
N
Q
Thank
you,
councilman
Turner
I'll
add
another
little
piece
to
what
he
said
in
San
Antonio.
They
do
have
a
it's
like
a
compound,
that's
almost
the
size
of
a
town
and
they
have
massive
numbers
of
different
programs
who
are
housed
within
that
compound.
So
there's
housing,
there's
substance,
abuse,
counseling,
there's
Health,
Care,
there's
education,
there's
all
these
different
things
so
that
it's
accessible
to
the
individuals
who
are
staying
in
the
in
that
program,
which
is
a
really
they're
I,
mean
nationally
they're,
considered
one
of
the
the
big
ones
to
look
up
to.
Q
They
really
are
and
then
also
I
wanted
to
follow
up
that
councilman.
Turner
is
absolutely
right
that
when
someone
is
picked
up
for
whatever
they're
picked
up
for
for
being
homeless,
they
do
have
to
have
somewhere
to
go
to
and
I
think
that's
one
thing
that
I
want
to
make
sure
that
I
do
say
also
that
when
when
people
are
removed
from
whether
it's
under
the
bridge
or
under
the
highway
or
wherever
it
may
be,
they're
going
to
go
somewhere,
they
don't
disappear,
and
so
it's
it's
really
more
effective.
C
Q
Now,
there's
not
with
my
group,
maybe
in
the
future,
but
not
not
just
yet
I-
know
spindle
top
who's.
A
mental
health
provider
in
the
community
has
a
lot
of
interns
that
they
work
with
and
we
we
kind
of
borrow
their
interns
when
we
need
stuff
for
special
projects,
so
I'm
not
really
sure
who
else
deals
specifically
with
homelessness.
Who
has
internships
right
now?
I
know
that
there
are
a
lot
of
very
small
groups
who
do
Outreach
in
the
homeless.
Q
Population
I
mean
gosh,
probably
50
or
60
groups
in
Beaumont
alone,
but
it's
like
one
or
two
people
who
get
together
and
they
go
do
something,
but
as
far
as
coordinated
I'm,
not
sure
of
that.
Okay.
C
I
just
wanted
to
ask,
because
it
I
don't
know
if
it
would
help
to
get
more
youth
involvement.
It
was
just
kind
of
a
side
thought.
Q
L
Is
this
like
a
job
for
y'all
or
is
y'all
volunteers
and
also
I,
see
that
you
are
Regional?
So
even
our
region,
like
do
y'all,
go
through
Beaumont
like
which
cities
are
y'all
right.
Q
So
my
Coalition
is
a
Southeast
Texas
Coalition
for
the
homeless,
and
we
cover
Jefferson
orange
and
Hardin
counties,
so
we're
kind
of
all
over
here
in
Southeast
Texas.
Our
organization
does
not
have
like
a
full-time
staff
of
people.
My
organization
is
made
up
of
people
from
other
organizations
who
are
interested
in
homelessness
issues,
so
lots
of
lots
of
churches,
lots
of
mental
health
programs,
hospitals,
school
systems,
who
anyone
really
who
has
a
vested
interest
in
homelessness
on
a
regional
level
kind
of
comes
to
our
group.
Q
We
have
about
184
members
right
now,
which
is
pretty
substantial
and
they
really
represent
all
the
different
parts
geographically,
but
also
different
different
elements
of
our
society.
Different
places,
which
is
really
pretty
neat.
So
yeah
did
that
answer
your
question.
A
But
I
wanted
to
get
more
input
from
everyone
more
specifically,
because
I
think
one
of
this
was
one
of
the
discussions.
Where
unanimously
everybody
wanted
to
be
involved
in
some
form
of
the
Homeless
Coalition
I
know
Bowman
has
one
and
you
guys
still
from
a
regional
standpoint,
but
there
was
you
know
there
was
a
lot
of
interest
here
and
so
I
just
kind
of
want
them
to.
Maybe
they.
N
J
I
did
have
a
question
about
homelessness
and
so
I
think
we
all
know
that,
like
every
homeless
person
hasn't
had
has
their
own
story,
some
people,
whether
it's
from
personal
problems,
economic
issues
and
so
I,
just
want
to
know
what
statistics
are
there?
Any
statistics,
not
mainly
you
already
talked
about
the
statistics
on
how
many
like
estimated
homeless
people
there
are
but
like
on
what
their
situation
is
like
how
many
of
those
are
employed,
but
they
don't
have
enough
money
to
get
a
living
wage.
J
Q
Q
It's
a
law
that
made
it
mandatory
for
schools
to
provide
services,
specific
services
for
children
experiencing
homelessness,
and
so
I'm
actually
working
right
now
with
the
region,
five,
which
it
covers
all
of
Southeast,
Texas
I'm
working
with
the
Region
5
mckinney-vento
team
and
we're
trying
to
come
up
with
some
strategies
so
that
we
can
engage
those
families
more
and
to
capture
their
information.
And
so
you
asked
about
the
numbers,
the
statistics,
unfortunately
I,
don't
have
a
lot
of
count.
Q
You
know
what
was
it
I
said
it
a
second
ago
for
the
children
who
are
in
Beaumont
who
were
homeless
on
the
day.
It
was
21..
We
know
there's
at
least
a
hundred
because
of
what
the
schools
are
working
with,
and
so
we're
trying
trying
to
find
a
way
that
we
can
partner
with
the
schools
so
that
we
can
get
that
information.
Oftentimes
kids,
who
are
experiencing
homelessness,
have
parents
who
are
you
really
kind
of
hit
the
nail
on
the
head?
Q
Their
parents
are
working,
but
they
just
don't
have
enough,
and
so
we're
trying
to
Target
that
population
to
try
to
capture
that
information
because
needs
assessment.
I
know
I
talked
about
it
a
second
ago,
but
if
we
can
capture
needs
assessment
information,
we
can
Advocate
more
effectively
for
the
things
that
are
specifically
an
issue
for
that
population.
J
Q
So
the
the
group
that
I
work
with
is
sponsored
by
the
regional
Planning
Commission.
Our
group
is
called
the
Southeast
Texas
Coalition
for
the
homeless.
Sct
CH
is
what
we
call
it
so
such
is
so
it's
the
network
of
service
providers.
We
do
collect
items
once
a
year
in
preparation
for
the
point
in
time
count
because
we
give
out
massive
amounts
of
stuff
on
point
in
time
day,
so
that
people
will
talk
to
us,
I
mean
quite
honestly,
and
so
we
collect
items
getting
ready
for
that.
S
Well,
it's
not
it's
not
really
a
question
but
like
a
statement
to
when
we
do
need
to
have
let
kids
be
more
aware
of
the
homeless
population
and
how
we
can
help
them,
because
I
mean
I'm
many
churches
that
I
know
my
church.
Specifically,
we
have
a
group
where
we
help
people
in
need,
people
who
can't
pay
their
bills,
people
who
need
food,
clothes
and
anything,
but
we
don't
have
a
lot
of
participation
and
by
like
having
the
youth,
more
involved,
letting
them
know
what's
going
on
here
in
Beaumont.
S
We
could
help
them
like
get
involved
in
those
groups
and
at
churches,
schools,
youth
groups,
stuff,
like
that,
because
I
mean,
if
more
kids
get
involved,
more
participants,
there'll
be
more
stuff
for
us
to
hand
out,
and
things
like
that,
and
at
my
school
at
least,
there's
a
program
called
communities
and
schools
where
they
do
help
children
in
need,
who
probably
are
having
difficult
financial
problems
at
home,
who
need
extra
food
or
who
clothes
and
I
think
by
just
us
being
aware
to
this
kid
to
not
be
ashamed
to
come
forward
and
tell
them
that
they're
having
problems
and
yeah.
Q
R
Okay,
I
had
two
questions,
I
mean
well
I
had
a
question
in
one.
The
first
question
was
in
your
region.
Do
you
know
like
the
youngest
kid
that
was
on
their
own,
that
y'all
you
all
had
to
deal
with.
Q
The
youngest
child,
if
I
remember
correctly,
at
least
for
this
year,
we
didn't
have
any
children
under
the
age
of
18
who
were
on
their
own
in
previous
years.
We
have
I
think
in
2022
we
had
two
or
three
who
were
between
the
age
of
17
and
21,
maybe
around
that
and
that's
kind
of
clumped
into
a
category
of
young
adult,
because
you're
kind
of
transitioning
from
child
to
adult.
Q
R
And
the
other
one
I
know
he
was
talking
about
for
schools
like
you
know
how
there's
kids
that
are
homeless
in
schools.
I
know
Debbie
went
to
the
school
tools.
The
representative
from
school
tools
is
her.
They
had
like
a
lot
of
stuff
and
I
really
liked.
It
was
just
a
whole
bunch
of
stuff
they
were
giving
out
to
teachers,
and
I
was
just
like
wondering.
If
maybe
I
don't
know.
If
y'all
do,
it
looks
like
y'all
partner
with
school
tools
and
try
to
give
out
some
school
supplies
to
the
students.
R
Q
Would
definitely
be
a
project
we
could
all
look
into
and
yeah
we
partnered
with
the
Southeast
Texas
Food
Bank,
who
sponsors
School
tools
for
the
pit
count
they
donated
a
pallet
of
water
bottles
like
I,
think
it
was
Aquafina
water
for
us
to
give
out
and
then
I,
don't
know
three
three
or
four
hundred
bags
of
self-stable
food
that
we
were
able
to
hand
out
on
pit
day
and
to
individuals
that
we
were
surveying
so
yeah
we
definitely
partner
with
them.
We
love
them.
Yeah.
P
So,
along
with
that,
I
was
gonna.
Ask
if
you're
willing
to
get
with
us-
and
maybe
since
you
said,
there's
not
really
any
like
community
service
opportunities
or
much
like
that.
Maybe
we
could
come
up
with
one
like
clothing
drives
at
our
school
and
like
the
donations
that
we
get
sure
no
hand
them
out
and
stuff.
Q
I
Interested
in
having
you
present
to
Beaumont
schools,
so
me
personally,
I
come
from
Beaumont
Early,
College,
High
School,
so
I
am
in
contact
with
you.
Thankfully,
and
I
am
very
pleased
to
have
your
contact
information
and
is
it
possible
for
you
to
come,
make
a
presentation
at
the
high
school
sure.
Q
J
So
I
wanted
to
ask
about
the
disabled
homeless
population
because
I
feel
like
in
our
society.
Disabled
people
are
sadly
they're.
They
don't
have
the
opportunities
that
most
people
have
including
homeless
people,
and
so
I
do
know
that
there
are
government
programs
that
are
supposed
to
help
disabled
people
and
homeless
people.
And
so
just
is
your
organization
working
on
making
sure
that
these
disabled
homeless
people
are
signing
up
for
these
for
Grants
and
funds,
anything
that
can
help
them.
Q
So
we
can't
make
sure
that
they're
signing
up
for
it,
but
we
can
Advocate
to
make
sure
that
there's
organizations
who
are
providing
that
service
and
so
which
we
do.
We
know
that
in
this
area
there
are
quite
a
few
programs
that
are
making
sure
that
veterans
have
access
to
health
care
and
Housing
Services,
and
so
we
definitely
are
working
with
them
to
increase
awareness
as
I'm
doing
here,
and
so
that's
that's.
Q
A
major
need,
one
of
the
other
things
that
we're
doing
is
partnering
with
some
of
the
health
care
providers
to
to
help
them
be
aware
of
what
the
issue
is
and
kind
of
the
prevalence
just
really
what
I
was
just
talking
about
with
y'all,
so
that
they're
aware,
because
most
very
often
professionals
don't
know
all
of
the
details.
They
know
homelessness
is
bad
homelessness,
there's
a
lot
of
it.
But
what
do
you
do
with
that?
And
so
we
help
to
imp
and
inform
them.
J
Another
question
I
had
was
about
the
the
security
of
where
these
homeless
people
are
staying.
So
I
think
me
and
like
personally,
most
other
people
who
are
blessed
enough
to
stay
in
a
house
and
we
always
make
sure
our
doors
are
locked.
Our
windows
are,
our
windows
are
closed,
so
we
can
sleep
comfortably,
but
these
homeless
people,
as
you
said,
are
on
the
streets.
Shelters
is
not
there
so
like.
Q
That
is
a
great
question
that
I
cannot
answer.
Each
of
the
the
Outreach
programs
would
have
to
contact
them
individually
to
make
arrangements
and
I
I.
Just
don't
have
that
information.
Sorry.
R
Sorry
I
never
asked
a
lot
of
questions,
but
I
just
had
one
do.
Y'all
have
like
do
y'all
deal
with
homeless
people
who
have
pets.
Q
R
Okay,
because
I
well,
my
school,
a
club
at
our
school
Beta
Club,
we're
currently
doing
a
pet
drive
to
donate
pet
food,
to
food
nutrition
services
for
seniors
and
maybe
like
we
could
do
something
with
y'all
to
try
to
donate
pet
food,
because
whenever
we
had
a
speaker
at
another
organization,
I
think
club
I'm
in
she
said
that
the
seniors
give
their
food
to
their
pets
because
the
pets
don't
have
so
maybe
like
the
homeless.
People
might
give
their
food
to
their
pets.
Q
That
would
be
great.
You
have
my
contact
info,
send
me
an
email,
and
let
me
know
that
you're
needing
the
information
for
the
pet
person
and
I'll
connect
you
with
her,
so
that
you
can
work
something
up
but
you're,
absolutely
right.
They
if
they
have
a
pet,
they
often
will
give
up
their
food
for
themselves
so
that
their
pet
can
be
fed.
G
G
Okay,
so
we're
going
to
be
moving
to
item
number
five
discussion
on
upcoming
community
events.
A
A
B
B
Afternoon
my
name
is
Mary
Simon
and
I
am
the
children's
program
manager
with
Southeast
Texas
Food
Bank
School
tools,
some
responsible
for
providing
services
to
teachers.
School
supplies,
that's
one
of
my
favorite
volunteers
to
come
to
help
out.
We
have
school
tools,
volunteer
opportunities,
Monday
through
Thursday,
from
2
30
to
5,
30
and
also
every
second
Saturday
Southeast
Texas
Food
Bank
have
a
variety
of
programs,
a
variety
of
volunteer
opportunities
that
would
address
a
lot
of
the
issues
that
you're
talking
about
today
and
in
particular
when
you're
talking
about
providing
services
to
families
homeless.
B
We
have
so
many
programs
that
address
those
issues
and
we
are
in
partnership
with
many
many
entities
within
the
community
so
but
anytime
you're
looking
for
volunteer
opportunities,
you
can
go
to
our
website.
Southeasttexas
Food,
Bank
click
to
the
right.
There's
a
volunteer
icon
click
on
that.
If
you
don't
have
a
profile,
you
complete
a
quick,
quick,
Pro
profile
and
then
it
would
list
the
volunteer
opportunities,
so
we
service
eight
counties
and
we're
out
and
about
providing
services
to
many
many
many
families.
B
So,
thank
you
all
for
what
you're
doing
I'm
really
impressed
and
just
really
moved
a
matter
of
fact.
I
got
permission
to
miss
work
today
to
be
here
today
to
listen
to
what
you're
doing
and
certainly
to
encourage
and
support
you
in
what
you're
doing
I
did
have
a
gift
for
y'all
I,
didn't
I,
didn't
know
how
many
so,
when
you
have
your
next
meeting,
I'll
be
here
to
present
you
with
a
token
or
something
that
you
can
take
on
your
next
trip.
G
Thank
you
very
much.
Are
there
okay,
where's
Douglas
good.
T
Afternoon
everybody
good
evening,
Chantelle,
Douglas,
I,
don't
know
if
it's
on
or
not,
but
as
a
spokesperson
for
Beaumont
United
high
school
and
someone
who's
partnering
with
Beaumont
ISD.
There
is
a
college
career
in
military
Readiness,
fair
that
is
being
hosted
by
BISD.
It's
coming
up
this
month
on
Saturday,
February,
25th
I
believe
is
the
exact
date.
Yes,
February
25th,
and
it's
just
an
opportunity
for
students,
as
well
as
parents
and
families
entirely
the
Beaumont
Community
to
just
come
out
and
learn
about
the
career
and
Military
opportunities.
T
I
think
it
may
also
be
a
great
opportunity
for
you
all
to
Showcase
who
you
are
and
what
you're
doing
for
the
community
and
I
know
the
contact
person
for
that
would
be
Miss
Eva
LeBlanc.
If
you'd
like
to
take
part
in
that
I
know.
Some
of
you
have
signed
up
to
volunteer
in
a
different
capacity
there.
So
just
keep
that
in
mind,
because
that's
another
opportunity
where
I
think
the
youth
advisory
Council
will
really
make
a
great
impression.
Okay,.
T
N
Yes,
this
upcoming
Saturday
I
know
y'all
been
talking
about
Community
cleanups
to
be
one
at
South
Park
neighborhood
association,
that'll
be
on
Highland
Avenue
it'll
be
at
the
church.
Harvest
for
lost
souls
I
will
actually
be
there.
E
N
Collecting
trash
will
supply
gloves
bags,
but
we're
going
to
clean
up
the
whole
Highland
Avenue
and
other
areas
around
that
we'll
have
a
dump
truck
coming
behind
us
and
we're
going
to
have
a
breakfast
a
community
breakfast.
It's
going
to
be
a
lot
of
Lamar
University
students
there,
as
well
as
other
community
members,
so
y'all
are
more
than
welcome
to
join
me.
If
you
want
to.
N
To
the
public,
yes,
ma'am
I'll
send
it
to
you,
so
you
can
get
on
the
page.
The
next
one
is
I
just
want
to
remind
y'all
that
mural
Fest
it'll
be
March
2nd
through
the
5th
and
I
think
you
guys
will
have
the
opportunity
to
put
input
if
it's
a
certain
kind
of
mural
or
something
that
you
want
to
see
in
Beaumont.
Even
the
art
boxes,
I
kind
of
want
to
challenge
y'all
to
reach
out
to
some
of
your
students
who
you
know,
are
good.
N
At
Art
we
Supply
the
paint
for
those
art
boxes,
so
they
can
paint
those
Xboxes
free
of
charge.
So
I
want
to
encourage
y'all
to
get
some
students
who
are
real
good
at
Art
to
participate
during
Muir
Fest,
and
they
will
have
a
student
wall
as
well
as
the
art
boxes
that
will
be
available
to
paint
and,
lastly,
Mardi
Gras-
you
guys
know
Mardi
Gras
next
weekend.
N
If
underneath
any
of
the
youth
Council
would
like
to
ride
afloat
with
the
city
council
y'all,
let
me
know
a
head
count
and
I'll
see
if
I
can
get
it
approved
for
y'all
to
ride
with
us.
Okay,
all
right.
I
I
also
like
to
address
in
our
previous
meeting,
we
talked
about
beautification
Beaumont.
We
were
supposed
to
discuss
a
date
for
that.
L
C
I'm
still
missing
one
person's
contact
information
that
volunteered
for
it,
so
I
haven't
organized
and
collaborated,
but
I
was
thinking
during
spring
break
because
that's
when
we're
most
free.
C
U
C
A
You
guys
can
discuss
Logistics
after
the
meeting,
maybe
and
y'all
meeting.
A
G
Okay,
so
if
there
are
any
other
members
of
the
community
that
would
like
to
share
anything,
any
opportunities
they'd
like
to
use
Council
to
be
present
at
now
is
your
time.
U
Good
afternoon
my
name
is
Michelle
melonson
I'm
a
volunteer
with
the
Southeast
Texas
Food
Bank
I'm,
also
a
volunteer
with
RSVP
and
I'm,
also
a
Ambassador
with
BISD.
It's
wonderful
to
see
what
is
going
on
here.
Really
wonderful!
Each
of
you
are
representing
the
city
very,
very
well,
and
it's
nice
to
see
something
of
this
magnitude
here
in
Beaumont.
I
had
a
question
for
the
lady
for
the
homeless.
Q
Sure,
excuse
me
so
the
point
in
time
count
is
conducted
once
a
year
by
mandate
by
Hud,
which
is
the
U.S
Department
of
Housing
and
Urban
Development
who's
in
charge
of
housing
Nationwide,
and
so
they
mandate
that
for
one
24-hour
period
in
January
of
each
year
that
Community
all
the
communities
across
the
country
are
counting
on
that
same
day
or
in
close
proximity.
So
on
pit
day,
which
this
year
was
Thursday,
January
26th
here
in
Beaumont,
most
of
the
communities
in
Texas
were
counting
on
that
specific
day.
So
that
there's
not
duplication
and
I.
Q
Q
Q
U
G
You,
okay,
so
before
we
move
on
I,
had
wanted
to
talk
about
at
the
youth
leadership
Beaumont
event
on
Tuesday
a
lot
of
the
feedback
from
the
students
in
that
program
as
far
as
problems
that
they
felt
youth
experienced
were
almost
all
of
them
were
geared
towards
education.
G
So
several
of
us
have
come
up
with
the
idea
that
our
next
speaker
for
the
February
22nd
meeting
that
will
schedule
later
on
in
the
agenda
should
well.
If,
if
it
was
possible
to
ask
the
superintendent
Dr
Shannon
Allen
to
come,
have
a
brief
q
a
period
with
us
for
the
next
meeting,
we
think
that'd
be
highly
informative
to
the
youth
in
Bowman.
G
So
we
can
consider
that
in
the
voting
agenda
we
can
add
an
item
there
Okay.
So
moving
on
to
agenda
item
number
six
presentation
on
the
future
of
the
youth
Council
yeah.
A
I
was
going
to
present
with
you
guys
with
a
little
bit
of
a
flower
and
then
I'll
talk
about
it
briefly.
This
is
something
that
will
be
emailed
to
you
and
I
want
to
ask
your
feedback
on
this
document.
But
I
do
want
to
say
this.
You
guys
are
getting
a
lot
of
information
around
events
and
opportunities
to
serve,
and
you
know
it's
impossible
for
you
yourself
to
do
all
of
that.
Our
goal
is
that
you
guys
are
leaders
your
youth
council,
members
and
so
you're
to
take
this
information
and
bring
it
to
your
campus.
A
Your
influence,
an
opportunity
to
pass
the
information
on
to
let
others
come
to
these
events
that
are
being
discussed
here
as
well
as
yourself,
if
you
can
make
it
please
stay
involved,
but
you
do
have
friends
at
your
school
who
are
not
involved
in
certain
things,
and
so
this
is
a
great
opportunity
for
you
to
meet
new
students,
because
it
gives
you
an
excuse
to
talk
to
people
but
also
advertise
these
kind
of
events.
So
I'll
move
to
this.
What
you
see
on
the
screen,
this
was
taken
from
that
conference.
A
I
just
kind
of
came
up
with
an
idea,
it's
very
similar
to
something
that
the
City
of
Beaumont
will
be
doing
we'll
have
on
as
I
scroll
up
here
it
says:
use
advisory
Council
as
I
continue
to
scroll.
This
is
the
2023-24
legislative
program
agenda.
A
The
idea
behind
this
is
that
most
cities
have
a
special
day
where
they
go
to
the
Capitol
in
Austin,
and
they
speak
to
the
legislators
about
future
policies
or
guidelines
or
things
that
they
want
to
see
in
bills
or
laws
that
are
passed
in
the
state
of
Texas
and
so
I
haven't
seen
one
where
it's
developed,
Just,
For
Youth,
and
so
that's
kind
of
what
I'm
going
to
submit
to
you
guys
that
we
can
continue
dialogue
around.
Is
you
know?
A
What
are
these
topics
that
we
could
talk
about,
that
we
could
pass
on,
and
this
may
be
a
document
that
only
goes
to
city
council,
and
so
this
is
something
that
you
know
when
city
council
develops
their
parks
in
the
future
that
they
have
in
mind
your
God,
the
guys,
your
your
ideas,
around
parks,
and
so
the
idea
for
this
is
to
be
sort
of
a
a
the
principles
and
guidelines
that
the
youth
Council,
which
you
guys
represent.
All
schools
involve
what
students
want
out
of
life
in
Beaumont
and
so
I'm.
A
You
know
as
I
continue
to
scroll
down
here.
I
have
it
in
different
sections.
Obviously,
empowering
youth
Public,
Safety,
Parks
and
Recreation,
promoting
youth
success,
creating
joint
initiatives,
Economic
Development
opportunities
for
Youth
and
so
I'm
just
going
through
an
abbreviated
version
of
this.
This
will
be
emailed
to
you,
but
the
idea
is
that
you
are
now
going
to
start
thinking
like
a
a
legislator,
whether
that
you
want
to
call
that
a
senator
a
congressman
president.
However,
you
want
to
look
at
that.
A
That's
what
you
are
for
your
campus
and
so
I
want
you
to
kind
of
be
looking
at
these
topics,
going
back
to
your
students
at
your
school
and
getting
feedback
and
finding
out,
if
there's
some
commonality
and
bringing
it
back
to
bringing
it
back
to
the
youth
Council.
So,
therefore,
we
can
develop
our
own
legislative
agenda.
This
can
be
taken
to
Austin
or
it
can
stay
here
in
Beaumont,
either
way.
I
think
this
would
be
a
step
of
innovation.
You
know
an
idea
that
hasn't
been
done
before
I'm,
not
I.
A
Looked
around
I
didn't
really
see
a
legislative
agenda
for
youth,
but
I
know
everything
is
included
around
Youth
and
Public
Safety
and
when
we
have
a
crisis,
we're
talking
about
our
youth
and
a
future
generation
that
is
coming.
So
this
is
an
opportunity
for
us
to
come
up
with
a
document.
You
guys
specifically
to
dig
into
this,
go
back
to
your
campuses
and
add
to
this
document
or
take
away
from
this
document.
A
A
I
think
you
know
one
we
always
want
to
start
local
I
think
this
could
be
proposed
to
our
local
leaders.
You
know
you
want
to
come
up
yeah.
N
So
instead,
instead
of
saying
this
at
the
end
of
the
meeting
not
going
to
say
it
now
since
we're
currently
talking
about
it,
so
the
city
council
is
currently
putting
together
a
legislative
agenda
for
the
City
of
Beaumont.
We
have
something
called
Golden
Triangle
days
where
City
officials
we
go
to
Austin
and
we
Advocate
on
the
things
that
we
want
in
Beaumont
Texas
right
now.
This
is
the
biggest
surplus
of
funding
that
we've
ever
seen.
N
Texas
receive
so
it'll
be
a
good
opportunity
for
you
guys
to
kind
of
put
together
something,
whereas
I
can
get
you
guys,
input
in
on
our
legislative
agenda
for
the
City
of
Beaumont
I
think
this
is
huge.
You
have
never
seen
you've
put
together
a
legislative
agenda,
so
I'm
pushing
y'all
if
possible,
Sam
you
can
see.
I
can
get
it
together.
N
So
we
want
to
kind
of
charge
you
guys
for
doing
that,
we're
going
to
we're
going
to
Austin
on
February,
27,
28
and
29th,
so
we
probably
got
about
a
week
and
a
half,
maybe
two
weeks,
to
see
what
we
can
put
together
and
if
we
can't
get
everything
that's
fine,
maybe
I
can
focus
on
one
of
two
things
that
we
can
get
done
all
right.
So
this
is
the
opportunity
it'll
be
specifically
for
elected
officials
from
the
Golden
Triangle.
So
your
city
council
will
go
your
county,
your
County
Commissioners,
your
County
judge
a
goal.
N
You
know
all
your
elected
officials.
This
is
our
opportunity
to
go
to
Austin
in
the
past.
We
just
go
and
meet
with
them,
but
this
year
we're
going
with
a
legislative
agenda
saying
this
is
what
we
want
to
see
in
Beaumont,
and
this
is
a
part
of
what
the
new
Council
wants
to
do.
So
this.
This
is
the
opportunity
for
y'all
to
have
input
on
what
we
go
for
in
Beaumont,
so
Miles.
This
is
a
great
job.
Man
I
think
you
really
killed
this
I
appreciate
it.
A
Yeah
definitely
so
I
just
want
to
bring
this
up
these
topics
that
you
see
right
here
on
that
screen.
These
are
things
you
already
talked
about,
so
I
just
basically
used
previous
conversations,
dialogue
that
I've
had
with
you
guys
so
that
the
the
categories
are
already
broken
down,
based
on
feedback
that
I
got
from
this
Council.
The
conversation
I
had
with
Junior
leadership
group
just
different
things,
so
there
was
some
commonality
in
all
of
the
conversations,
so
I
kind
of
put
it
in
a
category.
A
What
you
want
to
do
is
look
at
the
subject
of
Public
Safety
and
recommend
something
right
or
you
may
like
what
the
recommendation
is
in
that
little
paragraph,
and
you
can
you
can
kind
of
go
with
that,
but
it's
just
I
kind
of
put
a
template
out
there
already
so
you're.
Just
looking
at
the
subject
matter,
the
green
box
and
you're
looking
to
come
up
with
a
bullet
point,
an
item
that
you're
interested
in
or
concerned
about
and
yeah
I
have
more
questions
to.
You
know
feel
free
to
ask
them.
C
E
A
If
you
finish
in
a
timely
manner
before
we
go
to
Austin
yeah
we'll
keep
this
in
a
bag,
because
you
know
I,
don't
know
how
many
I
don't
know
how
many
youth
group
or
how
many
cities
have
walked
up
and
say:
hey
the
youth
in
our
community
want
X,
you
know,
I,
don't
think
that's
yeah
I,
don't
think
that's
really
happening,
so
it
shouldn't
take
that
long,
you're,
basically
just
talking
I
mean
you're.
Basically
just
talking
about
what
you
want
to
see
in
your
city.
A
A
G
And
I
can
have
a
written
summation
ready
for
the
city
council
prepared
for
our
next
meeting
on
the
22nd,
for
you
guys
to
vote
and
approve
or
not,
and
so
feel
free
to
reach
out
to
me,
with
any
recommendations
of
things
that
you'd
like
on
there
I'm
happy
to
consult
with
all
of
you
for
that.
So
that'll
that'll
most
definitely
be
an
agenda
item
on
the
next
meeting
and
I
look
forward
to
working
with
you
all
on
it.
A
This
could
make
it
to
Austin.
I
mean
I.
Think
that's
an
excellent
opportunity
to
do
something
like
that,
but
definitely
not
trying
to
push
it.
But
I
am
excuse.
D
Me
sorry,
my
bad
so
I
guess
that's!
This
will
be
emailed
to
us
and
then.
A
Yeah
I'll
email
this
to
you
guys
and
then
you
can
kind
of
go
through
every.
You
know
you
can
send
a
separate
email,
just
saying:
hey
I,
like
Public
Safety,
and
you
know,
I-
think
team
safety,
y'all
kind
of
talked
about
scooters.
So
there
are
the
cities
in
the
state
of
Texas
who
have
Scooters
or
motorbikes.
I
can
kind
of
highlight
that
I
think
you
guys
talked
about
in
your
the
first
presentation
about
police
officers
in
the
shortage.
A
So
you
really
you're
just
talking
about
the
things
that
you've
already
been
discussing,
so
you
taking
that
and
you're
putting
in
a
sentence
format.
So
all
of
you
guys
in
some
form
of
fashion,
have
had
some
conversation
about
the
change
you
want
to
see
and
the
things
that
are
in
the
way
of
that
change,
and
so
that's
essentially
what
you're
communicating
but
I
just
tried
to
give
you
a
category
based
on
all
the
conversation
I
heard.
G
I'm
happy
to
take
everybody's
recommendations,
for
that,
so
I
can
put
together
a
proposal
for
miles
and
for
the
next
meeting.
Okay.
D
G
Further
questions
all
right,
so
we're
going
to
move
to
our
voting
agenda.
Item
number
seven.
So
we're
going
to
vote
to
approve
the
next
meeting
date
and
time
we
had
talked
about
this
being
so
February
23rd
didn't
work
for
a
lot
of
the
I
think
it
was
from
Beaumont
United
because
you
all
had
an
event
that
day.
So
we're
wanting
to
move
that
to
the
day
before
February
22nd.
A
I
G
Okay,
what
about
what
about
Friday
is
that
Friday's,
not
okay,
I.
A
So,
who
can't
make
it
on
the
22nd
if
we
had
it
on
a
Wednesday
sure
show
of
hands
one
hand
who
can't
two
okay,
who
can't
make
it
on
the
21st
who
can
make
it
on
a
Monday?
That's
the
20th!
That's
a
Monday
who
I
mean
who
can't,
if
is
Monday
a
scheduling,
conflict?
Okay,
what
time
for?
Well,
let
me
do.
Let
me
do
this.
K
So
I
think
we
should
have
it
on
I
think
we
should
have
another
Tuesday
because
after
the
city
council
meeting,
everybody
is
already
here,
like
we've
only
been
seen,
Mr
AJ
a
lot,
we
have
seen
the
other
councilman,
but
we
haven't
seen
them
as
much
as
we've
seen
him.
So
if
everyone's
already
here,
we
can
voice
our
opinions
better.
G
D
G
I
G
C
J
G
G
S
What,
if,
if
they
won't
be
able
to
come,
they
also
held
meetings
to
the
public,
where
we
could,
all
as
a
group,
go
and
try
to
voice
our
opinions
as
well.
I.
G
Mean
within
school
board
meetings,
there's
there's
a
three-minute
public
comment
section
if
you
register
two
days
in
advance
that
you
can
voice
your
opinions,
but
it's
kind
of
hard
for
us
as
a
large
group
to
make
that
happen,
but,
like
any
individual,
is
more
than
welcome
to
go.
Do
that
on
their
own,
but
I
think
like
as
far
as
us,
receiving
any
kind
of
cohesive
feedback
from
BISD.
This
is
definitely
the
best
Avenue
to
go
about
doing
that.
C
Have
a
group
I
think
it's
two
people
that
go
to
the
superintendent
meetings
and
sit
and
listen
on
that,
so
I
could
get
some
feedback
from
them.
G
Okay,
that
is
good,
so
just
to
vote
on
designating
Dr
Allen
as
the
next
meetings
desired.
Speaker.
Okay,.
A
A
P
N
Comment
so
guys
plan
a
Dr,
Allen,
Plan,
B
I
would
suggest
a
school
board.
School
Board
president
Robert,
Dunn,
okay,
I,
think
that's
a
good
solution
to
the
problem.
So
Dr
Ellen
give
a
three-day
window
to
get
you
guys
a
response.
Then
you
reach
to
your
plan
B,
which
would
be
Robert
Dunn
the
school
board
president
and
you
work
your
way
down
by
availability.
G
Very
good
idea,
so
we're
going
to
move
to
vote
on
this.
G
All
right
we'll
make
the
arrangements
for
that
as
soon
as
possible.
Okay,
so
there
are
no
more
voting
items
so
we're
going
to
move
on
to
public
comment.
If
there's
any
members
of
the
public
that
have
a
three
minute
or
under
comment,
they'd
like
to
make
to
the
youth
advisory
Council,
now
is
the
time
for
that.
N
S
N
And
I'm
also
seeing
people
who
weren't
talking
the
first
meeting,
not
all
of
y'all
are
talking
and
I
love.
It
I
love
it
three
things:
y'all
talked
about
internship
programs.
So
what
I
want
to
challenge
y'all
with
and
this
could
be
in
the
future,
but
I
think
as
this
group,
you
guys
should
put
together
the
interns
that
you
want
to
see.
Youth
have
in
the
City
of
Beaumont.
N
So
instead
of
us
as
adults,
putting
together
the
list
of
jobs
and
internship
opportunities,
I
want
to
challenge
y'all
to
put
that
list
together,
because
what
we
may
think
may
be
a
good
intern.
Y'all
may
not!
So
that's
the
purpose
of
this
Council
to
let
you
guys
lead
what's
best
for
the
Youth.
So
that's
one
thing,
I
kind
of
want
to
look
at
y'all
discussing
in
the
future.
Another
thing
is
I.
Think
y'all
were
all
in
favor
of
something
to
the
magnitude
of
a
homeless,
Supply
drive
and
a
homeless
reduction
plan.
N
I
think
that
could
be
another
thing.
You
guys
kind
of
discuss
just
from
listening
to
y'all
I'm,
just
trying
to
think
of
ways
to
kind
of
push
y'all
to
keep
going.
And,
lastly,
bird
scooters
y'all
did
a
good
job,
y'all
kind
of
firming
up
what
y'all
wanted,
not
all
I
need
from
y'all
list
and
and
to
sum
it
all
up
is
the
streets
that
you
do
not
want
to
see
them
on.
N
C
Before
you
leave
question
about
the
internships,
what
do
you
mean
like
within
certain
companies?
Yes,.
N
Ma'am,
so
so
the
City
of
Beaumont
right
now
we're
putting
together
comprehensive
plan
with
the
Chamber
of
Commerce,
so
the
funding
probably
voted
on
more
than
likely
this
Tuesday
and
I'm
more
than
confident
it
will
pass.
So
with
that
being
said,
one
thing
that
I
brought
up
was
lack
of
Youth
engagement,
meaning
we
have
the
youth
Council,
but
now,
what's
the
next
step,
when
you
guys
are
juniors
seniors?
N
What
are
we
showing
you
guys
that
Bowman
has
to
offer
to
give
you
the
opportunity
to
want
to
stay
here
when
I
first
met
with
y'all
one
of
the
main
things
I
heard
the
complaints
were
we
didn't
know
about
nursing?
We
didn't
know
about
the
doctors,
we
didn't
know
about
all
the
opportunities
Beaumont
have.
So
if
y'all
want
to
intern
at
certain
law
law
offices
y'all
want
to
intern
at
the
BSD
admin
building.
If
y'all
want
to
intern.
On
the
second
third
floor
at
City,
Hall
with
the
city
manager,
I
need
to
know.
N
E
All
right
good
evening,
first
I'd
like
to
say
that
I'm,
so
very
proud
of
each
of
you,
I've
kind
of
been
here
from
the
beginning
and
I
have
seen
so
much
growth
and
I'm
just
very,
very
proud.
Now,
I
just
want
to
reiterate
what
Chantel
Douglas
mentioned
about
the
ccmr
fair
when
she
mentioned
that
that
might
be
a
good
opportunity
for
you
guys
to
get
out
there.
E
Maybe
Pub
yourselves,
maybe
contact
Eva,
LeBlanc
and
perhaps
maybe
secure
a
table
I'm
not
quite
sure,
but
you
guys
can
go
there
and
talk
to
the
community
about
what
you're
doing
here.
Also
with
regards
to
speaking
at
the
board
meeting.
I
do
think
that
would
be
a
good
idea
for
one
of
you
guys
to
sign
up
to
let
the
community
know
because
they
too
live
stream.
So
they
have
a
pretty
broad
audience.
E
So
I
think
that
would
also
get
the
word
out
with
what
you're
doing
and
there's
an
organization
that
I'm
a
part
of,
and
we
have
participated
in,
what's
called
Meals
on
Wheels.
Some
of
you
guys
know
about
that.
You
have
to
be
18
years
old,
but
and
if
you're
18
year
old
friends
with
a
vehicle,
perhaps
they
can
also
sign
up
to
go
and
assist
our
community
because
they
are
always
looking
for
volunteers
to
help.
So
maybe
you
can
take
that
idea
back
to
your
campuses
to
your
campus
organizations:
okay,
I'm
Charisma
papian!
G
All
right
so
we're
going
to
move
on
to
council
members
comment:
does
anybody
have
anything
they'd
like
to
say.
A
K
So
this
is
kind
of
going
back
to
our
Summit
that
we
went
on
a
lot
of
them
a
lot
of
the
councils
over
there.
They
had
bonding
activities,
and
so
I
was
thinking.
We
should
all
do
a
bonding
activity
to
kind
of
get
to
know
each
other
better,
because
I
still
sense.
There's
some
like!
Oh
I,
don't
know
you.
You
know
so
an
example
that
a
lot
of
them
did
was
like
an
escape
room
and
I
think
we
do
have
one
in
Beaumont,
so
yeah.
D
I
guess
mine's
also
comes
from
what
I
learned
from
the
conference
was
that
we
should
probably
look
at
something
to
kind
of
brand
us
I
feel
like
we
use
a
lot
of
branding
from
the
city
of
Beaumont,
which
is
great.
It
helps
to
keep
us
recognized,
but
in
The
Branding
and
marketing
Workshop.
D
We
learned
about
the
importance
of
having
your
own
logo
and
your
own
slogan,
something
that
the
community
knows
and
recognizes
you
by
so
maybe
there's
something
we
can
do
with
the
Beaumont
City
logo
to
kind
of
adjust
that
to
be
a
little
bit
more
youth-based
just
so
that
when
it's
seen
it's
automatically
known.
Oh,
that's
the
youth,
City
Council.
L
I
wanted
to
add
on
that
saying
that
maybe
we
could
get
I,
don't
know
how
y'all
feel
about
getting
shirts
made
to
wear
to
the
meetings
and
when
we
go
like
I
know.
You
mentioned
shirts
when
we're
going
out
of
town
and
stuff,
but
like
shirts,
when
we
go
volunteer
somewhere.
So
they
know
who
we
are
and
what
you
know.
R
Well,
I,
don't
really
have
much
to
say:
I
just
want
to
say
that
we're
all
doing
good
and
we're
all
growing
and
I
just
had
one
question
for
I
just
for
the
day
for
the
cleanup.
What
time
does
it
start.
N
S
S
J
Yeah
and
just
to
add
on
to
just
just
to
add
on
to
that
I
also
want
to
I,
also
am
planning
on
going
back
to
my
school
and
talking
to
my
classmates
about
what
they
want
and
what
problems
they
see
in
Beaumont
and
mainly
as
councilman
Turner
said
Solutions
and
see
what
solutions
they
have
to
problems
there.
I
I'd
also
like
to
make
a
public
statement,
Sam
actually
told
us
about
the
bring
a
friend
message
on
our
GroupMe
and,
as
you
can
see,
we
have
some
students
here
who
have
joined
us
from
this,
bring
a
friend
a
kind
of
small
little
thing.
I
And
I'd
like
to
encourage
you
who
have
attended
to
also
bring
a
friend
the
next
time
you
attend
our
meeting
or
and
just
kind
of
post
our
stuff
out
there
word
of
mouth
is
the
biggest
way
to
get
notice.
So
if
you
would
do
that,
I
would
really
appreciate
it,
because
you
guys
are
as
much
important
as
we
are
because
we
are
here
to
represent
you.
P
So
I
know
how
we're
planning
to
have
the
superintendent
come
talk
to
us
and
last
night
I
was
scrolling
through
Facebook
and
came
across
the
BISD
4-1-1
page
and
we
could
get
a
lot
of
or
that's
where
we
could
read
about.
If,
like
what
is
really
needed
to
ask
questions
for
the
superintendent.
H
I
just
had
a
question:
I
know
that
the
next
he's
gonna
be
an
awesome.
Is
that
Austin,
the
number
the.
A
Oh
so
you're,
referring
to
the
the
trip
in
Austin,
is
the
27
28
29th.
It's
we
hadn't
opened
it
up
to
the
youth.
That
was
more
so
for
a
city
staff
department,
heads
our
city,
council
and
so
they'll
be
representing
the
City
of
Beaumont.
H
Okay,
I
also
had
to
say
one
more
thing,
so
I'm
in
this
organization
called
wild
set
and
right
now
we're
partnering
with
like
different
high
schools,
with
no
we're
partnering
with
early
college
right,
yeah,
it's
early
college
and
what
we're
doing
is
we're
trying
to
grab
donations
like
a
detergents
and
soaps
and
stuff,
because
Peach
mccarthur
they're,
like
there's
a
it's,
a
very
big
school,
especially
right
now
that
it's
combined
with
the
middle
school
as
well.
H
You
know
they've
noticed
that
a
lot
of
students
come
to
school.
Saying
this
with
a
lot
of
respect.
They
come
to
school.
You
know,
maybe
not
always
smelling
the
best
or
they'll
come
back
with,
like
repeated
clothes
I
have
you
could
tell
have
not
been
washed
so
right
now
we're
trying
to
get
a
washer
and
dryer
put
into
that
school.
H
C
I
just
want
to
go
back
to
the
shirts
that
you
talked
about.
I,
wasn't
thinking
regular
t-shirts.
I
was
thinking
more
polo
shirts.
It
gives
kind
of
like
a
professional
Vibe,
also
something
that
I
got
from
the
workshop.
G
I'd
like
to
thank
our
speakers,
the
officer
from
the
police
department.
It's
no
longer
here,
I
want
to
thank
her
for
her
time
and
her
insightful
presentation
about
Fentanyl
and
then
I
want
to
thank
you,
Miss
White,
for
your
presentation
over
homelessness.
We
will
definitely
move
forward
in
acting
in
some
of
the
areas
that
you
highlighted
for
us
so
in
between
now
and
our
next
meeting.
G
My
top
priorities
are
going
to
be,
of
course,
reaching
out
to
the
school
district
about
having
either
the
president
of
the
board
or
the
superintendent
come
talk
to
us
and
then
kind
of
putting
some
of
the
goals
that
we've
outlined
today
into
policy
format
for
us
to
vote
on
or
recommend
to
the
city
council
for
the
next
meeting
and
then
to
condense.
All
that
into
a
document
that
we
can
approve
next
meeting
to
say
to
the
city
council.
So
they
can
have
a
youth
component
for
their
Golden
Triangle
days.
I
G
Me
you,
probably
in
conjunction
with
miles
it's
like
we
have
to
work
the
the
details
out
of
that.
Okay,
all
right
well
miles.
If
you
have
any
any.
A
Yeah,
do
you
have
any
comment?
I'll
go
live
okay,
as
as
far
as
just
so
Clarity
for
streaming
purposes.
All
you
guys
action
items
make
sure
you
bring
them
to
me.
So
I
can
help
assist
you
in
that
process.
As
far
as
passing
the
message
on
now,
there's
things
you
need
to
bring
to
your
school.
It's
on
you
to
take
those
messages
and
pass
them
on
to
your
students.
We
didn't
really
discuss
it
that
much,
but
I
did
want
to
find
out
who
had
interest
in
going
to
the
Washington
DC
trip.
A
I
know:
everybody's
probably
gonna
try
to
raise
the
hands,
but
obviously
we'll
have
to
look
at
that
from
a
financial
standpoint,
but
I
did
want
to
get
an
interest.
Those
dates
who's
not
available
is
the
biggest
question.
I
want
to
ask.
First,
it's
March
the
26th
to
the
28th
I
think
you
may
have
to
leave
on
the
25th.
A
A
A
Send
me
all
your
action
items
that
we
have
to
do
for
this,
because
you
guys
are
getting
more
information,
so
you
want
to
be
perceived
as
someone
who
follows
through
on
everything
and
so
I
want
to
be
able
to
assist
you
guys
in
that
process,
make
sure
you're
using
your
campus
a
lot
of
this
information
you're
getting
should
go
back
to
your
campus,
where
you
can
spread
the
word
to
other
students.
I
would
encourage
you
guys
to
start
inviting
more
people.
I.
A
Think
you
I'm
feeling
that
you
guys
are
more
comfortable
at
a
rate
where
you
can
handle
the
public
now
so
I'm
more
encouraged
to
invite
more
people.
I,
wouldn't
define
success
as
a
packed
our
room
where
you
know
you
guys
have
to
see
yourself
as
a
governing
body,
and
so
the
biggest
thing
is
this
group,
so
you
guys
have
to
decide
within
the
group
different
policies
or
things
you
want
to
see
in
the
future,
because
it's
a
true
possibility
that
you
can
make
that
happen,
so
your
your
focus
always
should
be.
A
This
group
will
also
inviting
other
people,
so
don't
I
wouldn't
measure
success
as
a
packed
out
room
that
doesn't
give
you
an
excuse
to
not
put
effort
in
to
go
reach
out
to
your
students.
You
should
be
talking
to
students
about
the
Beaumont
youth
advisory
Council,
the
things
that
you're
talking
about,
because
you
want
the
feedback
dealing
with
homelessness
and
things
like
that.
Just
getting
their
input,
I
think
makes
you
a
better
representative
and
it
makes
us
a
better
City,
because
now
we
have
more
feedback.
Did
you
want
to
say
something?
A
C
So,
just
to
be
clear,
next
meeting
we'll
be
discussing
our
legislative
yeah.
A
Next
meeting
we'll
vote
on
a
final
draft
so
by
by
next
meeting
next
meeting
you
this
should
be
finished
because,
however,
I've
already
done
like
the
pretty
much
most
of
the
work,
so
I'm
just
I
took
you
guys,
feedback
and
put
it
up
there.
So
you
may
agree
with
it.
You
may
want
to
add
something
you
may
want
to
take
it
away,
but
the
template
is
right
there,
so
you
just
kind
of
take
it,
and
you
know
you
can
make
some
changes
if
you
would
like
to
we're
getting
close
to
6
p.m.
G
Any
further
comment:
well,
rho
we're
two
minutes
past
the
hard
stop
at
six,
so
we
will
see
everybody
we'll
see
each
other
again
at
the
next
meeting.
All
right
so
have
a
good
night.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Everybody
for
coming.
