We
pray
that
you
would
give
this
council
and
the
leaders
of
our
community
the
wisdom
inside
and
guidance
that
they
need
to
be
a
way
in
which
people
can
grow
and
develop
and
learn.
Even
in
the
midst
of
this
pandemic,
we
pray
and
ask
that
you
would
continue
to
work
within
our
community
help
us
to
see
the
way
that
you
are
bringing
justice,
equality
and
peace
in
all
that
you
do
all
these
things.
We
pray
and
ask
in
jesus
name.

You
thank
you.
We
do
have
one
proclamation
today
and
it's
my
honor
to
deliver
it,
whereas
women

integral
part
in
the
success
of
society
and
whereas

educate,
activate
and

women
for
the
betterment
of
humankind
and

out
of
abundance

due
to
the
coveted

pandemic.
We
have
chosen
to
cancel
our
luncheon
this
year.
We
would
still
like
to
take
this
time
today
to
honor
these
fantastic

all

for
everything

Okay,
every
year,
you're
all
gracious
with
the
proclamation,
and
we
truly
truly
appreciate
it
and,
as
you
know,
for
obvious
reasons,
we
have
to
cancel
the
luncheon,
we're
hoping
things
get
better
later
in
the
year
and
we
will
be
able
to
do
something.
But
most
of
all,
I
hope
and

stay
well
and
please
be

On
june,
the
23rd
the
city
council
amended
the
emergency
disaster
orders
to
allow
for
the
opening
of
all
previously
closed
city
facilities
on
or
before
july.
The
31st,
with
the
exception
of
the
lakeside
center
and
council
members.
Samuel
and
mouton
have
requested
that
this
item
be
placed
on
the
agenda
to
reconsider
the
opening
of
certain
facilities.
F
I
A
I
I
believe
it
would
be
appropriate
that
we
evaluate
it
as
we
do.
The
other
orders
that's
in
place
and
just
address
it
from
that
vantage
point.
Looking
at
the
progress
that
has
been
made
or
the
lack
of
progress,
whether
it's
getting
better
or
getting
worse,
and
we
can
make
those
adjustments
based
on
those
that
information
that
we
receive.
K
K
K
Now,
if
we're
going
to
amend
that,
I
want
to
know
how
that's
going
to
affect
citizens
plans.
Are
there
some
citizens
going
to
be
less
less
scrambling,
because
they've
anticipated
something
happening
to
open
these
facilities
in
august
and
now
we're
going
to
pull
the
rug
out
from
under
them?
I
want
to
know
what
the
situation
is
like
for
that
before
we
vote
on
anything.
A
Okay,
we
can
hear
from
both
of
those
city
staff
members,
but
I
will
say,
I
wouldn't
say
we're
pulling
the
rug
out
from
under
and
when
we
put
this
in
place,
we
said
that
we
would
continue
to
monitor
it.
Based
on
the
numbers
we
had
87
new
cases
yesterday
and
many
over
the
weekend
and
last
week
was
a
bigger
spike
than
we've
ever
seen,
anticipate
even
a
bigger
spike
because
of
all
the
testing
that
we
have
going
on
just
an
fyi.
G
A
H
G
A
M
M
M
So,
though,
the
ventilators
have
not
exceeded
the
numbers
that
they
are
require
that
they
can
have.
We
have
an
adequate
number
of
ventilators
and
we
have
an
available
number
of
beds.
However,
it
takes
staff,
that's
trained,
to
take
care
of
these
critical
patients
that
the
hospitals
are
struggling
with,
because
there's
also
other
things
that's
happening.
People
are
still
coming
in
with
heart
attacks,
they're
still
car
accidents.
A
M
Exactly
right,
so
we
have
those
two
things
working.
We
also
know
that
one
of
our
hospitals
has
requested
a
mobile
mobile
medical
unit,
which
would
provide
available
beds
outside
of
the
hospital
in
a
mobile,
a
medical
unit
that
would
be
set
up
outside
of
the
hospital.
So
we
we
are
at
a
critical
point
with
the
numbers
of
patients
critical
care
patients
that
the
hospitals
can
care,
for.
M
It
is
taxing
our
whole
health
care
system
from
ems
to
nurses,
so
so
that
that's
our
biggest
concern
in
the
meantime,
we're
looking
at
school,
restarting
at
some
level
we're
also
looking
at
flu
season
just
around
the
corner,
which
in
august,
we
usually
start
planning
for
flu
season
getting
flu
shots
in
and
offering
those
to
our
offering
those
to
our
citizens.
So
we
are
at
a
extremely
critical
time
for
for
our
hospitals
and
the
care
that
they
can
continue
to
provide.
At
this
time,.
M
L
M
L
M
L
And
I'm
pulling
that
right
off
the
cdc
and
I
know
there's
so
much
stuff
people
don't
realize
how
hard
she
works
to
do
what
she
does
and
that's
why
I'm
trying
to
kind
of
clarify,
because
when
you
see
a
big
old
number
out
there,
you
think
is
that
that's
how
many
people
still
have
it?
Yes,
when
in
reality
the
ones
in
march
by
april,
they
were
back
home,
doing
whatever
they
were
doing.
M
A
A
So
to
think
that
that
even
half
of
that
total
numbers
recovered
is
incorrect,
because
that's
not
that's
not
the
case,
because
we
didn't
now,
I'm
not
saying
there
weren't
people
walking
around
out
there
with
covid
that
we
didn't
know
about,
but-
and
there
are
now
too
I'm
sure
absolutely
but
there's.
But
if
you
go
all
the
way
back
to
march,
you
can't
compare
where
we
are
now
to
where
we
were
in
march,
when
march
12th,
when
we
started
counting,
because
our
positives
were
really.
L
A
M
L
The
question
that
I
have
is
how
many
more
tests
are
we
doing
today,
just
so
everybody
can
put
it
in
perspective
because
you
look
at
this
all
the
time
the
mayor
looks
at
it.
We
look
at
it,
but
the
average
person
doesn't
know
if
we're
doing
200
tests
in
march
a
day
and
now
we're
doing
2
000.
Well,
it
makes
sense
it's
going
to
go
up,
but
they
don't
have
that.
L
You
know
to
evaluate
and
put
it
in
perspective,
they're
any
question:
it's
a
serious
situation
sure,
but
we
want
to
make
sure
that
they
understand
we're
comparing
apples
and
apples,
because
when
we're
testing
200
and
we
get
25
and
the
death
rate
in
the
united
states
is
down
to
what
it
was
in
march,
which
sadly
one
deaths
too
many.
But
if
it
was
200
in
march
and
then
we
look
today
and
see
what
it
is
by
comparison.
L
The
high
point
was
2
000
and
I
think
that
was
at
some
time
in
may,
but
it's
gone,
it's
it's
dropped
significantly.
In
spite
of
all
the
testing.
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
our
citizens,
if
they're
watching
us
and
we're
talking
to
them
about
beaumont,
that
they
understand
how
we're
doing
it
in
beaumont,
because
when
they
turn
on
their
television
set,
there's
just
there's
so
many
numbers
they're,
throwing
at
them
that
they're
thinking.
M
So
so
so
our
dilemma
is
we
don't
get
the
total
number
of
negatives?
Those
are
not
required
to
be
reported
to
us.
It's
the
positives
that
are
required
to
be
reported
to
us
when
we
have
our
military
testing
team
come
in.
We
get
those
negatives,
so
we
we
have
6
000,
maybe
in
our
database
and
all
of
that
is
entered
from
the
private
companies
that
are
doing
the
testing.
M
M
We've
had
34
deaths
and
recently
there
was
a
period
of
time
when
we
had
no
deaths
and
there
was
a
a
period
of
time
when
we're
talking
to
the
nurses,
the
infection
control
nurses
in
the
hospitals,
they
were
seeing
that
people
who
were
coming
in
and
being
hospitalized
with
covet
had
a
less
serious
infection
and
their
hospital
stay
was
less
that
lasted
maybe
three
weeks.
Maybe
four
weeks
it
has
gone
back
to
people
are
on
ventilators
and
on
ventilators
for
a
very
long
time,
and
a
lot
of
them
are
dying.
M
M
We
know
that
when
we
had
to
stay
at
home
order
prior
to
memorial
day,
our
numbers
started
to
plateau
and
they
started
to
come
down
and
then,
at
memorial
day,
when
things
partially
opened,
we
think
everybody
heard
open,
and
so
that
was
an
opportunity.
Oh
I've
been
locked
up
for
a
while.
That
was
an
opportunity
for
them
to
get
out.
We
saw
our
numbers
take
a
u-turn
and
they
have
skyrocketed
since
then.
So
we
want
the
public
to
understand.
M
We
want
our
community
to
understand,
avoid
large
crowds
stay
home
if
you're
sick,
wear
masks,
while
you're
in
public
wash
your
hands
and
practice
social
distancing.
We
know
that
those
tried
and
true
public
health
techniques
work,
because
at
this
point
we
we
have
some
experimental
treatment,
but
we
really
don't
have
anything
that
we
can
sink.
Our
teeth
into
that
is
is
is
helping
people,
especially
those
that
are
having
a
serious
infection.
It's
not
helping.
M
Those
people
survive
this
and
we
we've
seen
because
we
talk
to
we
don't
we
don't
take
care
of
any
of
these
patients,
but
we
talk
to
them.
We
have
young
people
38
years
old,
who
have
been
on
ventilators
for
eight
weeks.
They've
thrown
cots
they've
had
strokes,
they've
had
to
have
amputations,
they
survived
but
they're
facing
life-changing
challenges,
and
so
this
is
serious.
We
know
very
little
about
the
virus
and
every
day
something
changes,
and
so
we
just
want
people
to
weigh
the
risk
is.
M
L
I
want
you
to
know,
because
you
know
you
know
this
and
you've
heard
me
say
it.
The
first
death
was
a
long
time
friend
of
mine.
I
take
this
really.
Personally,
not
everybody
knows
somebody,
that's
got
it
not.
Everybody
knows
somebody
that
passed
away
and
even
smaller
number
knew
the
first
one
that
passed
away
individual,
that
I'd
known
and
been
close
friends
with
for
decades.
E
L
That's
how
and
you
know
this,
but
that's
how
serious
I
am
about
it,
but
I
also
want
our
citizens
to
understand
that
we're
always
comparing
apples
and
apples
and
so
that
they
don't
get
confused,
there's
so
much
stuff
thrown
at
them
out
there
in
the
news
that
it's
easy
to
be
confused.
Yes
as
bo
much
different
than
new
york
city,
but
that
they'll
hear
more
about
new
york
and
los
angeles
and
chicago
and
baltimore
than
they
do
beaumont.
L
I
M
Yeah,
I
think
there
is
a
serious
lack
of
understanding,
and
so
you
know
we
we
take.
We
also
take
it
personal
as
public
health
officials
to
get
the
message
out
there
in
a
way
that
people
will
understand
it.
I
think
that
again,
I
think
that
when
things
partially
opened
that
people
just
heard
open-
and
there
were
just
there
were
big
crowds
everywhere
and
and
all
public
health
officials
were
like.
M
Oh
my
god,
we're
looking
at
the
pictures
and
we're
thinking
in
two
weeks
we're
going
to
see
an
increase
in
covet
and
in
two
weeks
we
did
and
that
increase
has
not
gone
down
yet
so
we
want.
You
know
we're
constantly
trying
to
be
out
in
front
of
it
and
saying
this
is
what
you
need
to
do.
This
has
not
yet
gone
away.
Just
because
some
things
are
open
doesn't
mean
that
you
can
partake
in
those
things
you
don't
have
to
go
because
they're
open,
because
the
virus
is
still
out
there
and
you
know
I've.
M
I
I
M
I
I
I
M
Again,
council
member,
I
think
that
when
our
citizens
here
open-
even
if
it's
partially
open
they
don't
they
don't
really
hear
or
understand,
partial
and
they're
looking
to
us
to
make
the
best
decisions
for
them
when
they
hear
open,
they
think
that
the
pandemic
is
is
gone,
that
there's
not
a
chance
of
them
getting
the
pandemic
because
it
no
longer
exists.
So
I
do
think
that
they
look
to
us
as
officials
to
make
the
right
decisions.
There
is
no
benefit
to
them
to
to
go
to
a
party.
M
I
Has
there
been
a
confusion?
Is
there
a
confusion
now
from
the
messages
that's
being
given
from
washington,
d.c
or
from
austin
texas,
or
from
jefferson,
county,
courthouse
or
even
city
hall?
If
all
of
these
messages
are
different,
does
that
create
confusion?
Oh
absolutely,
and
do
you
feel
have
you
seen
that's
what's
happening
across
this
nation
now.
A
J
J
Could
you
explain
to
to
the
public
and-
and
you
made
some
statements
to
the
fact
that
there
are
not
enough
health
care
providers
that
are
trained
to
administer
care
to
people
that
are
that
critical?
Yes,
but
could
you
go
into
a
little
more
detail
as
to
where
we
are
with
being
at
maximum
capacity
for
our
local
hospitals?
At
this
point,.
M
So
when,
when
we
are
at
that
type
of
capacity,
we
have
so
many
critically
ill
patients
that
the
hospitals
are
finding
it
difficult
to
care
for
those
patients,
as
well
as
the
other
patients
in
the
hospital.
When
we
have
to
reach
out
for
assistance,
then
we
are
at
a
a
position
and
and
to
reinforce
the
ceos
of
the
three
major
hospitals
in
this
area.
Put
out
a
letter
a
few
weeks
ago,
asking
the
public
to
follow
these
guidelines,
avoid
large
crowds
only
make
essential
trips
essential
being
to
the
grocery
store
and
to
the
doctor's
offices.
M
N
Omar,
I
I
don't
believe,
there's
anybody
on
this
council.
Well,
let
me
say
it
this
way.
I
believe
everyone
on
this
council
is
concerned
about
the
health
and
well-being
of
our
citizens,
not
only
our
citizens
but
our
families
and
we're
all
trying
to
find
a
way
to
move
forward
in
a
safe
and
responsible
manner.
N
The
first
order
that
came
down,
I
believe
in
the
county
judge,
was
on
friday
march
the
13th
that
sunday,
the
15th.
You
were
part
of
a
panel
that
I
had
as
we
were
beginning
to
discuss
about
the
covet
19..
We
knew
less
than
that.
We
do
now
and
the
problem
with
this
is
we're
in
a
pandemic
that
we've
never
dealt
with
before.
N
So
I
don't
know
that
there
is,
I
mean,
as
far
as
I'm
concerned,
you're
the
expert
in
the
room,
and
yet
I
know
that
you
have
so
many
questions
still
unanswered
and
we're
learning
each
day
as
we
go
along,
that's
correct
and
so
there's
a
lot
of
contradictions
out
there
right
now.
You
know
there
are
some
things
that
we
think
of
fact.
Some
things
are
fiction.
Some
things
are
perception.
Some
things
are
reality
and
we,
as
citizens
are
trying
to
navigate
through
this
and
try
to
understand.
Do
you
wear
a
mask?
N
N
But
we
also
know
that
beyond
the
physical
there's,
the
mental,
the
emotional
and
the
spiritual
well-being,
we
also
know
that
we
have
to
get
our
economy
moving.
If
we
go
into
the
spring
of
next
year
where
we
are
today,
our
economy
is
going
to
be
in
serious
trouble,
so
we're
trying
to
find
a
way
forward
and
there
are
contradictions.
As
I
mentioned
home
depot
lowe's
restaurants
are
open.
N
Some
places
are
closed.
Some
places
aren't
right,
and
so
would
you
agree
that,
ultimately
we
do
need
to
as
leaders
we
have
a
responsibility
we
do,
but
ultimately
it
falls
on
the
individual,
taking
personal
responsibility
for
themselves
and
for
those
around
them,
and
we
all
have
to
do
our
part
in
trying
to
get
through
this
pandemic.
M
You
know
councilmember
felshar.
I
do
agree
with
that,
but
I
also
know
that
there
are
people
who
are
going
to
misinterpret
if
we're
not
very
clear
and
that's
just
the
way
it
is.
I've
been
in
nursing
a
long
long
time,
and
I
wish
everybody
would
assume
personal
responsibility,
but
I
do
believe
that
at
some
point
we
have
to
make
a
very
clear,
give
very
clear
directions,
because
if
you
leave
it
open,
then
it
can
be
misinterpreted.
M
M
M
I
I
want
to
share
with
you
something
that
that
I
heard
a
physician
say
this
virus
is
a
non-thinking
parasite,
but
it
is
doing
what
it
has
been
designed
to
do.
We,
the
humans,
the
thinking
humans,
should
be
able
to
do
what
we
need
to
do
so
that
we
can
see
this
virus
decrease.
The
virus
needs
a
host
and
that's
what
it's
looking
for.
It's
looking
for
a
host
so
that
it
can
multiply.
M
N
D
N
Sure
is
it
going
to
hit
beaumont?
How
quickly
would
they
be
able
to
reproduce
this
and
get
it
to
us,
but
we
as
a
community
are
trying
to
trying
to
understand
how
do
we
live
with
the
covet
19
until
the
spring
of
the
year?
Perhaps-
and
hopefully
it
will
be
over
then,
but
we've
got
a
we've
got
a
road
ahead
of
us.
We
do
and
I
think
that's
what
we're
all
trying
to
figure
out.
How
do
we
stay
alive
as
a
community
and
and
live
with
the
covet
19
until
we
can
beat
this
thing?
K
A
A
A
Right
that
had
you
may
have
the
antibodies
to
go
and
do
this
because
this
will
get
it
behind
us
quicker
also
so,
but
I
I
can't
there's
not
one
physician
that
I've
talked
to
that
has
said
you
need
to
open
everything
back
up.
I
mean
they're,
not
one
that
I
mean
they're.
They
call,
I
mean
they
call
they're
they're
almost
sounding
a
little.
I
don't
want
to
say
desperate,
because
they're.
A
M
A
A
N
K
K
K
O
O
K
O
K
So
is
it
really
helping
by
keeping
these
facilities
closed?
I
don't
know
the
answer
to
that.
Nobody
knows
the
answer
to
that,
because
all
of
this
involves
a
high
degree
of
speculation.
We
can
listen
to
the
science
and,
of
course
we
can
all
agree
that
it
is
important
to
socially
distance.
It
is
important
to
wear
masks
around
other
people.
K
K
K
I
think
that
the
time
has
come
that
we
give
consideration
to
where
we
were
two
weeks
ago
to
go
ahead
and
open
these
facilities
back
up,
and
I
continue
to
support
that
and
have
people
make
wise
decisions
to
not
live
in
fear,
but
to
make
wise
choices.
I've
said
that
from
the
very
beginning,
I'm
going
to
continue
to
say
that
do
not
live
in
fear,
but
make
wise
choices.
If
you
have
a
compromised
immune
system,
you
shouldn't
go
where
there's
a
lot
of
people.
K
D
A
J
O
What
you're
seeing
on
this
list
is
what
these
individuals
proposed
would
be
their
attendance
when
they
originally
signed
their
contract.
Based
on
the
current
governor's
orders,
our
venue
could
open
at
50
capacity,
which
is
175
guests,
so
we've
made
our
clients
aware
of
that,
and
they
will
have
to
shift
their
attendance
levels.
J
A
J
I
mean
some:
some
of
these
people
have
probably
booked
these
weddings
two
years
in
advance
yeah.
You
know,
and
it's
a
day
that
I
mean
they've
dreamed
about
they've
I
mean
they've
wanted
for
so
long.
Nobody
want
to
crush
any
anyone's
dreams
or
events,
but
in
the
event,
taking
the
responsibility
to
leave
someone
else
to
be
responsible
for
my
health.
J
O
A
L
L
In
two
weeks
the
governor
could
say
we're
going
to
open
it
up
to
75
percent.
I
don't
know
he's
already
said
it
doesn't
appear,
there's
going
to
be
any
chance
of
a
lockdown
and
he's
going
to
do
everything
he
can
to
make
sure
that
doesn't
happen,
while
they're
initiating
all
these
things.
But
if
we
followed
the
governor's
guidelines
for
these
facilities,
you
can
get
175
people
in
the
event
center.
Following
at
50
percent,
550
in
or
500
in,
the
julie
rogers
is
what.
A
O
L
O
O
L
L
L
D
A
The
order
puts
the
burden
on
the
restaurant
to
maintain
the
goal
or
maintain
the
order
that
the
government
puts
forward
my
biggest
concern,
and
I've
talked
with
miss
wheeler
about
this
more
than
once
is
how
I
mean
our
staff
can't
be
responsible
to
monitor
that
the
people
who
are
doing
the
event
would
have
to.
We
would
have
to
depend
on
them
to
monitor
that.
We
could
set
it
up
the
way
it's
supposed
to
be
set
up
and
make
the
requirements
the
way
they're
supposed
to
be,
but
we
can't
go
in
and
police
right.
A
L
L
D
G
And
it's
emily
and
her
staff's
responsibility
to
maintain
that
facility
in
whatever
rules
they
establish,
whatever
policies
they
have
in
place,
pre-pandering,
pandemic
and
pandemic.
If
we
are
to
follow
the
governor's
orders
at
the
50
percent,
the
proper
spacing,
it
will
be
incumbent
upon
her
and
her
staff
to
keep
that
in
place
throughout
the
evening.
D
L
But
we
could
tell
them.
My
question
was
tyrone.
If
we
tell
them
if
you,
if
you
violate
this,
this
is
the
last
time
you'll
be
able
to
use
the
facility
and
they
know
it
going
in
it.
That
would
seem
any
kind
of
agreement
with
any
kind
of
facility,
whether
we
have
it
or
some
other
private
facility.
Somebody
else's
god,
said.
If
you
come
in
and
violate
our
rules,
you
can't
come
back.
A
P
A
O
So
right
now,
most
city-owned
venues
are
not
open
in
the
state
of
texas.
So
I
can't
give
you
an
answer
on
what
they're
doing
besides
that
they're
not
open,
but
what
I
can
tell
you
about,
you
know
publicly
owned
facility.
That's
also
following
these
guidelines
is
that
they
are
policing
it
down
to
each
guideline,
and
so
we
haven't
really
discussed
this,
but
there
are
other
guidelines
that
have
been
set
forth
by
the
governor
related
to
venues
related
to
theaters,
about
temperature
checks
of
all
vendors
that
come
in
the
building
health
health
monitoring.
O
O
A
J
O
D
A
O
O
O
You
know,
I
think,
that
they're
kind
of
taking
it
every
couple
of
weeks
like
we
are
I've,
heard
a
couple
say
mid-september,
but
again
everyone
is
fluid
right
now
so,
but
you
know
there
are
privately
owned
venues
that
are
open
in
our
city
and
across
the
country.
So
you
know
I
just
I'm
happy
to
do
whatever
y'all
want
to
do.
I
just
don't
want
to
only
follow
some
of
the
guidelines
and
not
the
others
before.
O
O
O
O
O
L
Emily
do
you
know
of
any
organization
that
provides
the
service,
because
one
thing
I
discovered
a
long
time
ago,
if
there's
a
need,
somebody's
going
to
go
in
business,
doing
it
whether
it's
to
come
in
and
do
screening
and
perhaps
sherry
may
know
this.
That
would
actually
come
in
and
say
we'll
screen
for
all
these
events.
Here's
how
much
it's
gonna
cost
us
you
and
do
you
know
of
anybody?
L
That's
currently
doing
that
now
I
mean
because
okay,
because
usually
when
something
like
this
happens,
somebody
comes
along
and
says:
look
we
have
the
healthcare
professionals,
we
can
do
it
for
you
and
it's
going
to
cost
this
much.
How
many
people
are
going
to
be
here.
We're
going
to
charge
you
for
everyone
that
with
whom
we're
coming
in
contact
to
take
their
temperature?
L
L
It's
going
to
cost
500
to
have
somebody
come
in
here
and
do
this
you
need
to
know
this
coming
up
up
front,
that's
part
of
what
we
have
to
do
and
the
city's
not
going
to
absorb
it.
But
I'd
be
on
the
lookout
for
that,
because
something
tells
me
somebody
somewhere
is
putting
that
together.
If
they
hadn't
already
done
it,
and
until
today
we
hadn't
really
talked
about
it,
but
there's
a
lot
of
really
smart
people
out
there
that
are
in
the
health
care
facility,
profession
that
have
nurses
and
they
go.
L
This
is
what
it's
going
to
cost
and
we've
got
all
of
the
facilities
to
do
it,
whether
it's
at
the
julie,
rogers
or
the
event
center
of
the
civic
center.
I
mean
you
walk
in
the
outpatient
center
over
at
christus.
The
first
thing
they
do
is
they're,
taking
your
temperature
and
asking
if
you've
been
to
spain
lately
or
china,
or
any
place
else
for
that
matter.
Councilman.
K
So
we're
now
talking
about
enforcement
and
what
we
can
and
can't
do
and
what
we
should
and
shouldn't
do
and
who
would
be
responsible,
and
you
know
we
clearly
can
enforce
the
number
of
people
that
open
that
walk
into
a
facility.
We
have
fire
marshals.
Do
that
all
the
time,
so
we
can
enforce
the
capacity
numbers
we
do
that
it
becomes
more
difficult
to
enforce
some
of
the
governor's
orders
and
the
governor
will
tell
you
that,
because
there's
no
penalty
attached
to
disobedience
of
the
governor's
orders.
K
So
when
you
don't
have
a
penalty
attached
trying
to
enforce
something
is
impossible.
It
becomes
aspirational,
not
mandatory,
because
if
somebody
says
I'm
not
going
to
wear
that
mask
what
are
you
going
to
do?
We
know
we're
not
going
to
arrest
them.
Governor
abbott
has
said
that
we're
not
going
to
put
him
in
jail.
K
K
Well,
yes,
I
want
to
go
forward.
Knowing
all
of
these
rules
are
now
in
play
or
no,
I
don't.
I
think,
that's
just
a
little
bit
much
we're
going
to
put
it
off
for
six
months
and
as
to
what
council,
member
paige
has
said
again
having
temperature
checks
at
the
front
door
great.
We
should
do
that,
but
we
can
allocate
that
to
the
party
that
wants
to
book
the
facility
and
say
that
also
that,
too,
is
part
of
your
responsibility.
K
I
think
we're
making
a
a
great
big
deal
about
something
that
is
not
likely
to
transpire
too
much,
because
once
most
people
see
what
they're
up
against
in
terms
of
what
these
rules
are
going
to
be
like
in
terms
of
number
of
attendants
responsibility
of
policing.
These
rules,
amongst
themselves,
responsibility
of
having
someone
at
the
front
door
to
check
temperatures.
A
A
I
A
K
L
A
H
Then
you'd
open
the
public
hearing,
but
for
the
benefit
of
the
public.
The
public
hearing
is
titled,
receive
comments
related
to
the
community
development
block,
grant
mitigation
program
and
the
submission
of
an
application
to
the
general
land
office
for
a
texas
community
development
block,
grant
mitigation
grant
and
patrick
wilshire
is
here
now.
P
P
I'm
with
public
management
we're
the
grant
consulting
firm,
that's
been
hired
by
the
city
of
beaumont
to
develop
and
submit
a
cdbg
mitigation
application
to
the
texas
general
land
office.
We
touched
on
that
just
briefly
last
week
in
the
discussion
about
a
water
treatment
plant,
today's
public
hearing
and
I'm
going
to
go
over
several
items
today
the
notice
had
an
agenda
of
nine
items,
and
so
I'm
going
to
go
through
all
of
those
items
and
I
have
slides
to
kind
of
walk
us
through
all
of
that
item.
P
Nine
really
is
a
sort
of
a
public
comment:
q,
a
that
we
can
go
through
to
touch
on
these.
The
reason
why
we're
holding
the
public
hearing
is
really
to
ensure
that
we've
addressed
all
of
the
requirements
as
set
out
by
the
texas
general
land
office
to
submit
this
application,
and
so
the
first
slide
is
in
the
first
item
of
this
public
hearing
is
to
address
citizen
participation
and
because
these
are
federal
funds
and
because
they're
passed
through
to
the
state
of
texas
there's
a
variety
of
requirements
that
we
must
meet
now.
P
They
have
certain
processes
in
place
to
ensure
that
whatever
projects
or
applications
are
developed
on
behalf
of
a
jurisdiction
have
gone
through
some
level
of
public
comment,
public
consideration,
and
so
there
are
a
couple
phases
that
we
will
go
through.
You
know
you'll
see
me
again
eventually
to
walk
us
through
this
application,
and
this
is
what
we
call
phase
one
of
the
application
of
the
citizen
participation
process,
which
is
to
have
a
public
hearing.
The
purpose
of
this
is
to
receive
comment,
and
so
there's
a
notice
that
went
out
into
the
paper.
P
There
was
an
address
to
mail
comments
to
from
the
public
about
potential
projects
or
considerations
that
ought
to
be
made
for
an
application
to
be
submitted,
and
then
you
know
eventually,
we
will
want
to
kind
of
document
those
comments
if
there
are
any,
as
well
as
those
from
the
governing
body
today
to
you
know
to
incorporate
what
you
know
what
impacts
need
to
be
addressed
as
it
relates
to
long-term
disaster
recovery
activities,
which
is
really
what
this
program
is
all
about.
So
consider
this
as
phase
one
of
a
multi-phase
citizen
participation
plan.
P
There
will
be
another
phase
towards
the
end
where
we
would
put
a
what
we
call
a
substantially
complete
application
back
out
for
public
comment
through
a
publication
and
through
a
posting
for
at
least
14
days.
So
this
won't
be
the
only
time
to
have
comment,
certainly
as
a
governing
body.
You'll
have
another
opportunity
after
that,
because
after
that
we
will
have
to
take
that
application.
After
all
of
those
comments
have
been
made
and
addressed
and
bring
that
back
to
you
so
that
you
can
officially
authorize
that
submission
of
the
application.
P
Chris
boone
has
been
managing
this
for
the
city,
and
so
you
have
a
version
of
local
housing
guidelines
and
you,
you
know,
operate
your
program
sort
of
within
this
hud
mandated
requirement.
That
still
applies
to
this.
You
know
to
this
funding
opportunity,
and
so
you
know
our
main
objective
here
is
really
to
focus
on
projects
that
will
ultimately
enhance
infrastructure,
and
so
you
know
again,
what
we're
talking
about
is
long-term
recovery
type
projects
that
will
enhance
existing
infrastructure.
P
You
know
we
want
to
develop
a
program
that
ultimately
will
protect
life
and
property,
and
you
know
create
a
program
that
will
ultimately
be
funded
and
that
will
be
viewed
favorably
by
the
texan
or
land
office
and
then
when
it
is
viewed
and
monitored
by
either
the
state
or
the
federal
level
that
that
we
have
addressed
to
all
of
these
concerns.
And
so
there's
just
a
brief
chart
on
here
which
we're
pulling
directly
from
the
general
land
office's
action
plan
and
their
application
guide,
which
details.
How
we
need
to
consider
mitigation.
P
P
So
it
is
the
lion's
share
really
of
the
of
the
allocation
of
the
rest
of
these
programs.
There
are
some
other
competitions.
Unfortunately,
jefferson
county
is
not
identified
because
they
are
identified
at
the
county
level
for
eligibility
in
the
disaster.
Events
of
2015
and
2016.,
and
so
the
city
being
in
jefferson
county
is
eligible
for
the
hurricane
harvey
state
mitigation
competition
which
has
effectively
been
broke
up
into
two
batches,
so
there's
2.1
billion
dollars
that
has
been
allocated
to
this
particular
competition.
P
Right
now
they
have
opened
one
billion.
So
half
of
that
funds
is
open.
Now
for
an
application
to
be
submitted
on
october
28th
of
this
year,
the
other
half
of
that
will
be
released
sometime
late
this
year,
maybe
early
next
year,
and
then
there's
this
regional
mitigation
program.
That's
defined
there,
which
is
also
eligible
to
the
city
into
this
county
and
the
disaster
impacted
regions
from
harvey
which
will
be
similar.
P
P
Presently,
there's
a
billion
dollars,
that's
allocated
to
the
city
of
or
within
the
this
disaster
impacted
region
which
includes
beaumont,
and
so
what
is
that?
So?
What
is
that
one
billion
dollars
of
the
first
round
of
competition?
What
does
that
mean?
Who
all
is
eligible?
What
does
that
look
like
for
the
city
of
beaumont,
so
this
map
is
a
representation
of
the
49
impacted
counties
and
10
zip
codes
that
have
been
designated
by
and
sorry
if
the
map
is
small,
trying
to
fit
them
all
into
the
slide.
P
P
The
tan
colored
counties
are
defined
as
what
we
refer
to
as
hud
most
impacted,
and
that
is
a
very
important
concept
to
know.
So.
There's
there's
there's
two
two
designations:
one
is
a
hud
most
impacted
county
or
region,
and
the
other
is
a
state
most
impacted
county
or
region.
And
it's
it's
important
to
understand
the
distinction,
because,
while
there's
49
counties
and
10
zip
codes,
50
of
the
money
has
to
be
spent
in
hud,
most
impacted
and
distressed
and
up
to
50
percent
can
be
spent
in
the
state,
most
impacted
and
distressed.
P
P
If
we
look
at
that,
then
you
know
they're
trying
to
split
that
up
as
50
and
50
or
500
million
plus
will
go
to
hud,
most
impacted
and
500
million,
plus
we
go
to
state
most
impacted.
Ultimately,
this
is
a
competition,
so
the
wording
there
again
is
intriguing
for
us,
because
we
believe
that
it's
going
to
be
whoever
scores
the
best
is
going
to
get
funded.
P
P
for
this
round.
Only
for
hurricane
harvey
state
mitigation,
competition,
they've,
allowed
entities
that
are
not
units
of
local
government,
so
cities
and
counties
other
entities
that
are
not
cities
and
counties
may
submit
an
application,
and
so,
if
we
look
at
this
map,
you're
talking
about
hundreds
of
potential
applications
to
go
so
it's
going
to
be
a
very
competitive
process.
P
P
Criteria
to
adhere
to
the
minimum
application
to
be
submitted
is
3
million
up
to
100
million,
and
we
talked
a
little
bit
about
that
last
week.
But
those
are
the
ranges
that
you
can
submit
within
and
there's
a
host
of
scoring
criteria
that
will
impact
that
application
that
need
to
be
worked
through
going
from
today
and
moving
forward.
P
So
the
explanation
of
eligible
cdbg
mitigation
activities.
So
you
know
there's
two.
You
know
sort
of
lengthy
definitions
on
this
on
this
slide,
and
these
are
really
two
definitions
that
are
given
to
us
that
we
have
to
adhere
to
and
the
first
one
and
I'll
just
read
that
briefly
is
hud's
definition
of
mitigation.
Before
I
read
this,
I
want
to
make
sure
that
we
make
clear
that
mitigation
is
not
a
word
that
the
u.s
department
of
housing,
urban
development-
sorry
I
just
lost
that
defines
it
is
a
fema
term.
P
Fema
defines
mitigation,
and
do
that
often,
but
hud
has
not
so
this
while
it
seems
you
know
relatively
straightforward
and
simple
of
a
definition.
It
took
hud
nearly
two
years
to
create
this
definition,
and
so
what
that
is
is
those
activities
that
increase
resilience
to
disaster
and
reduce
or
eliminate
the
long-term
risk
of
loss
of
life,
injury
damage
and
loss
of
property
and
suffering
in
hardship
by
lessening
impact
of
future
disasters.
Now
we
will
have
to
define
a
project
that
will
adhere
to
that
definition
and
there's
another
definition
down
here.
P
However,
you
know
our
final
project
has
to
adhere
to
that
definition
by
hud
of
what
mitigation
is
and
then
the
project
definition,
and
I'm
not
going
to
read
through
all
that
in
in
in
detail
here.
But
ultimately
the
project
has
to
mitigate
or
has
to
lessen
or
has
to
alleviate,
in
some
fashion,
some
natural
disaster,
and
so
that
project
has
to
be
within
a
defined
geographic
area.
There
are
certain
parameters
we
have
to
use
to
use
to
to
identify
that,
but
we
have,
to
you
know,
create
a
project
that
mitigates
a
disaster.
P
So
the
use
of
past
disaster
recovery
funds
and
the
city
of
beaumont
has
you
know,
has
received.
You
know
good
amount
of
money
in
the
last
you
know
decade
and
a
half
or
so
there's
a
couple
pictures
we're
very
proud
of
of
these
pictures.
So
our
firm,
you
know
helped
administer
previous
programs
for
the
city
of
beaumont.
You
may
recognize
some
of
these
sites.
P
Some
of
them,
you
know,
are
rather
obscure
the
real
interesting
one.
If
I
may
is
this
picture,
where
you
see
the
contractors
down
there
in
that
hole,
that
was
actually
in
south
park
when
we
discovered
exxon's
70-inch
water
line,
and
so
this
was
a
quite
unique
picture
in
fact
that
that,
at
that,
when
I
took
that
picture,
we
met
on
site
with
exxon's
representative
and
the
first
thing
that
they
said
when
we
got.
P
There
was
thank
you
for
finding
our
water
line
because
they
didn't
know
where
it
was
so
it's
you
know,
we've
had
exciting
projects
well.
Over
70
million
dollars
has
been
allocated
to
the
city
of
beaumont
over
the
last
15
plus
years,
maybe
prior
to
2006,
but
we've
worked
with
the
city
since
2006
and
then
up
until
now,
so
you
have
done
you
know
some
great
projects.
P
P
So
that's
that's
the
terminology
that
we
use
often
and
it's
you
know
something
that
that
we
have
to
use
in
in
a
way
that
can
justify
and
identify
projects
for
funding,
and
so
because
the
the
federal
agency
is
the
use
department
of
housing
and
redevelopment,
and
because
cdbg
is
this
federal
program.
They've
identified.
You
know
at
least
three
national
objectives.
One
of
those
and
their
main
national
objective
at
the
federal
level
is
to
principally
benefit
low
to
moderate
income
persons.
P
That
just
is
familiar
for
you.
So
this
is
your
ccn,
the
city
of
beaumont,
those
red
shaded,
I'm
sorry
red
shirt.
Those
green
shaded
areas
are
block
groups
which
meet
the
federal
criteria
for
low
to
moderate
income,
and
so
and
again
I
know
that
they're
small,
so
we've
been
using
this
to
develop
the
potential
for
a
project
that
could
ultimately
qualify
the
entire
ccn
to
do
a
project,
so
we're
working
through
all
of
that.
P
So
item
seven
was
minimizing
the
displacement
of
persons
by
project
activities,
and
that
really
goes
without
saying.
For
us
and
for
staff
is
that
you
know
an
eligible
activity
could
be,
you
know,
buy
out
an
acquisition,
and
you
guys
do
have
an
allocation
for
that.
Currently
that
you're
working
through
for
your
round
one.
That
really
is
not
the
intent.
Our
intent
is
not
to
remove
people
from
their
homes.
P
Really,
our
intent
is
to
protect
the
people
that
are
in
their
homes,
with
you
know,
enhanced
infrastructure
or
better
services,
and
so
that's
what
staff
and
myself
and
the
team
will
be
doing
so
try
to
identify
those
projects
that
will
minimize
this
as
the
primary
objective
is
that
we
don't
want
to
take
people
out
of
their
homes.
We
want
to
lessen
these
burdens
of
natural
disasters
and
hopefully
that
project
that
submitted
achieves
that.
P
We
have
to
address
those
comments,
we're
going
to
bring
that
application
back
to
you,
and
we
have
to
pass
that
through
what
we
call
application
resolution,
your
official
authorization
to
submit
this
we
would
submit
on
on
or
before
october
28th,
but
from
there.
What
does
it
look
like?
So
what
do
you?
What
does
the
road
look
like
for
you
from
there?
P
P
P
We
would
work
through
that
process
that
may
take
one
two
months.
You
know
the
application
gets
approved,
that's
going
to
take
time
for
the
approval
process
to
go
through
at
the
at
the
general
land
office.
Ultimately,
that
application
has
to
make
it
to
make
its
way
to
contracts.
That's
going
to
take
a
significant
amount
of
time,
and
so
you
know
our
best
with
my
ex
my
experience.
P
Our
best
guess
of
a
contract
if
you're
funded
from
an
application
submitted
in
october
of
this
year,
won't
come
until
12
to
14
months
from
then
so
october
december
of
next
year.
There
is
no
telling,
if
that's
going
to
be
fast
track
now.
Geolo
will
tell
you
that
they're
going
to
get
them
in
and
out
as
fast
as
they
can,
and
certainly
I'm
sure
that
they
will
try.
P
But
you
know
our
experience
is
going
to
tell
us
that
we're
in
from
the
submission
of
this
application
to
potentially
seeing
a
contract
mayor
for
you
to
sign
this
12
14
months
away,
and
so
you
know,
even
from
there
you're
one
two
years
out
from
being
able
to
do
any
work.
So
I
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
clear
on
timelines
and
how
you
know
this
isn't
an
immediate
recovery.
P
H
K
L
L
I
think
this
is
important
for
our
citizens
we're
going
everywhere.
We
can
to
get
funds
to
enhance
the
drainage
and
eliminate
some
of
the
problems
we've
had
in
the
past,
both
with
you
and
bart
and
our
friends
out
at
dd6
all
in
conjunction,
because
if
we
can
get
those
funds
from
this
bundle
of
cash
there's
also
additional
funds
that
we
could.
We
will
go
out
and
talk
about
that
the
city
would
take
on
personally.
P
Now
I
didn't
touch
on
this.
I
think
we
touched
on
this
last
last
meeting,
but
technically
the
city
can
submit
three
local
applications
and
partner
on
three
regional
applications,
and
you
know
submitting
six
applications.
You
know
forgive
my
expressions
a
bit
of
a
pipe
dream
on
that
you
know.
So
what
we're
really
looking
at
is
what
are
our
best
applications?
What
are
they?
You
know?
We've
identified
at
least
one
I've
got
a
relationship
with
dd6.
I
know
who
their
grant
administrator
is
that
they've
hired
there
as
well?
P
A
A
We
hear
a
lot
about
what
we're
doing
or
what
we're
not
doing
and
there's
a
lot
going
on
regarding
not
just
our
drainage
right
now
and
our
water
treatment
plants
and
the
different
things
that
we're
looking
at
in
in
in
every
every
aspect
of
our
infrastructure,
we're
an
old
city,
1838
and
there's
a
lot
of
things
that
need
to
be
done,
but
they
all
cost
money
and
any
time
we
can
get
funding
like
this.
I
mean
it
is
so
much
needed
and.
D
E
F
P
Yes,
yeah
sure,
so
we
have
a
contract
with
the
city.
We've
been
hired
to
write
the
application
and
to
manage
a
project
if
it's
awarded
so
our
our
fee.
For
writing.
The
application
is
zero.
We
don't
we
don't
charge
for
that,
but
we
bill
our
fee
against
a
whatever.
The
awarded
contract
is
right,
so
our
fee
is
percentage
based
on
the
final
award
amount
and
that's
how
we
will
be
paid
to
the
grant.
So
no
local
funds
will
be
used
to
pay
public
management.
They'll
be
paid
out
of
the
grant.
P
A
D
A
So
everything's
been
done
that
I
need
to.
I
just
need
to
open
it.
Okay,
all
right!
So
we've
just
heard
the
information
in
front
of
us,
and
now
I
will
open
the
floor
for
any
citizen
who
wishes
to
speak
during
this
public
hearing.
This
is
what
we
just
talked
about.
I
will
open
up
the
microphone
at
the
end
of
the
meeting
for
general
comments
that
I
will
now
open
up
the
microphone
for
public
hearing.
A
A
A
H
D
D
Q
Q
We
think
it
would
be
prudent
to
consider
refinancing
portions
of
the
city's
existing
existing
debt
interest
rates
at
this
time
are
at
or
near
the
all-time
lows
for
municipal
bonds.
So
it's
a
very
attractive
interest
rate
environment
that
we're
in
the
presentation,
material
that
I
that
I
placed
before
you
has
several
pages
in
a
few
sections
in
it.
I'm
going
to
concentrate
my
my
comments
this
afternoon,
really
just
on
the
executive
summary
which
is
found
inside
the
front
cover
page
and
so
starting
out.
Q
Talking
about
the
water
works
and
sewer
system
is,
is
kind
of
the
first
item
on
our
for
our
discussion
here.
We
believe
that
there
are
two
refinancing
opportunities
that
we
ought
to
look
at
here
for
the
city,
the
first
being
in
combination,
a
series
that
would
would
be
one
series
in
combination
with
your
25
million
of
new
money.
This
would
would
add,
on
the
refinancing
of
the
series
2010
babs
back
in
2010,
the
city
issued
some
build
america
bonds.
Those
are
bonds
that
have
been
subsidized
annually.
Q
Q
Those
bonds
when
they
were
issued
were
issued
at
a
rate
of
about
6
percent,
so
we'd
be
looking
at
significant
savings
there.
The
other,
the
other
portion
of
that
transaction
that
we
think
is
important
to
to
consider
is
those
bonds
have
a
reserve
fund
that
is
set
aside,
that
the
city
does
not
have
access
to
until
those
bonds
mature
by
refinancing
those?
Now
we
would
also
be
able
to
free
up
the
reserve
fund.
Q
That's
allocated
for
those
bonds
and
that
reserve
fund
is
in
the
in
the
amount
of
2.39
million
dollars,
so
combined
we'd
be
looking
at
a
benefit
of
of
about
five
point,
almost
5.5
million
dollars
for
just
that,
one
that
one
refinancing
then
the
other.
The
other
refinancing
to
look
at
is
another
another
portion
of
the
city's
existing
debt
on
the
utility
side,
the
series
2012s
and
by
refinancing
those
bonds.
Those
bonds
also
have
this
reserve
fund
that
the
city
does
not
currently
have
access
to.
Because
of
old
bond
covenants.
Q
Then
moving
then
moving
forward.
That's
that's
the
the
information
on
the
on
the
utility
system.
On
the
geo
side,
we've
got
two
refinancing
opportunities
here
to
discuss
the
city
series
2011
bonds,
currently
in
the
amount
of
31.985
million
dollars,
are
coming
up
on
their
call
date
and
by
refinancing
those
now
we're
seeing
a
net
present
value
savings
of
approximately
8.57
million
dollars.
Q
These
bonds
would
have
to
be
in
advance
for
funding
and
because
of
current
federal
tax
law,
that
refunding
would
have
to
be
done
using
taxable
bonds,
but
that
is
a
very
common
thing.
That's
being
done
right
now
in
the
municipal
municipal
space
and
because
rates
are
so
low,
there
is
very
little
if
any
real
penalty
there
to
going
ahead
and
using
a
taxable
instrument
to
do
that
and
right
now.
We
believe
that
the
net
present
value
savings
to
refinance
those
bonds
would
be
about
11.69
million
dollars.
L
Q
Well,
I
would
I
would
echo
your
remarks
and
thank
you
for
your
for
your
remarks,
but
I
would
echo
your
remarks
as
it
relates
to
the
professional
with
professionalism
with
which
your
staff
operates.
But
I
think
it
goes
also
to
this
council
council
takes
takes
deliberate
action
to
look
at
this
sort
of
stuff,
and
it's
also
a
positive
reflection
on
the
council
to
be
able
to
to
take
it.
Take
advantage
of
these
low
interest
rates.
So
we
we
obviously
appreciate
the
opportunity
to
work
with
you
guys.
A
Now
would
be
the
time
for
any
citizen
who
wishes
to
speak.
If
you
would
like
to
make
public
comment
today
on
any
item
now's
the
time
to
do
so,
and
if
you
haven't
already
done
so,
please
pull
out
the
green
slip
and
hand
it
to
the
officer
she
will
bring
it
in
here
and
we
will
call
out
your
name
as
I
mentioned
earlier.
We
appreciate
if
you
keep
your
comments
to
three
minutes.
The
green
light
will
come
on
when
you
approach
the
podium
and
the
red
light
will
come
in
when
your
time
is
up.

The
prisons
in
southeast
texas
has
the
highest
covic
19
infection,
individuals
in
all
of
the
prisons
systems
in
texas.
Why?
The
difference
is
that
in
southeast
texas
we
have
refineries
petrochemical
industry.
It
is
said
that
we
will
produce
more
all
in
this
and
southeast
texas
than
they
do
even
in
saudi.

Black
kings
and
queens
are
being
used
like
puppets,
and
I
say
this
to
myself:
a
lot
of
people
are
gonna
die
for
the
board
members
that
made
this
agreement,
and
I
appreciate
mr
alderman
samuels
for
being
on
the
front
line.
I
appreciate
this
lady
right
here
for
being
on
the
front
line.
A
lot
of
people
are
going
to
die
and
satan
you,
the
part
of
it
mike,
gets
get
off.
K
The
number
of
complaints
I
have
received
in
the
past
week
concerning
citizens
with
discolored
water
is
alarming.
It's
something
that
I'm
glad
we're
going
to
be
addressing.
The
city
manager
has
agreed
to
meet
with
myself
and
another
council
member
and
we're
going
to
talk
about
that
and
hopefully
have
a
work
session
on
causes
of
the
discoloration
and
what
can
be
done
about
it.
K
D
H
H
H
H
Certain
many
days
and
weeks
are
different
than
others,
but
our
staff
does
a
very
good
job
of
in
very
difficult
conditions
of
repairing
these
lines
in
a
timely
manner,
even
if
it
includes
going
all
night,
and
so
they
do
an
excellent
job
they're
out
when,
when
the
public
sees
fire
hydrants
that
are
open,
that
means
they're
flushing
the
lines
to
try
to
clear
the
water,
and
I
know
it
can
be
disconcerting
to
the
public.
It
is
for
all
of
us.
When
you
see
brown
water
filling
up
your
bathtub,
we
get
it.
H
We
understand
it
is
safe
to
bathe
in
our
water
is
tested
every
day
throughout
the
day.
365
days
a
year
again,
we
don't
like
seeing
the
brown
water
coming
out
of
the
tap
we
understand,
but
last
week,
while
it
is
normal
meaning
it
doesn't
happen
every
day.
It
happens
when
you
have
a
lot
of
breaks
and
we
had
a
lot
of
breaks
last
week
and
that's
something
we
cannot
control,
that's
something
that
is
going
to
continue
forever
and
you
can
call
around
to
your
colleagues
in
other
cities.
They
deal
with
it
as
well.
H
So
I
don't
want
the
public
to.
They
have
every
right
to
call
us.
We
want
to
know
the
areas
of
town
that
are
having
the
discolored
water.
We
go
out
and
check
and
start
flushing
lines
in
those
areas,
and
our
staff
does
a
really
good
job
of
doing
that.
So,
yes,
we
want
to
hear
from
the
citizens
that
are
having
these
issues,
but
just
know
in
full
transparency.
H
The
problem
that
we
face
is
not
unique
to
us
and
it's
not
going
away.
We
might
have
5-10
breaks
tomorrow,
you
don't
you
don't
know
when
it
rains,
it
helps
you
know,
but
if
it
gets
up
9
500
degrees
for
a
number
of
days
in
a
row
or
a
week
without
rain,
you're
gonna
have
more
breaks
so
just
wanted
again.
I
think
three
of
you
or
two
for
sure
mentioned.
Would
you
please
say
something
today
and
I
am
going
to
meet
with
two
council
members
on
thursday,
with
key
staff
they've
asked
for
that?
H
I
I
I
need
to
find
out
that
was
questioned
as
to
where
it
is
on
the
rehabilitation,
and
I
think
all
council
members
received
an
email
from
the
cartwright
neighborhood
association
on
behalf
of
the
concerned,
citizens
of
cartwright
edition,
neighborhood
association
observed
and
noted
various
forms
of
illegal
activities
and
criminal
behavior
in
crew,
including,
but
not
limited
to
prostitution,
trafficking
of
narcotics
and
various
controlled
substances
in
and
around
the
above
mentioned
property.
That
conduct
has
generated
various
emotions
throughout
the
neighborhood,
such
as
terror,
fear,
distress
and
anxiety.
I
There
are
13
known
drug
distribution,
houses,
aka
crack
houses
in
the
cartwright
edition
in
the
city
of
beaumont.
That
cartwright
edition
is
a
tripods
shaped
area
that
is
approximately
one
mile
long
from
college
street
to
washington,
boulevard
in
the
north
and
southerly
direction
and
approx
approximately
one
half
mile
in
a
west
to
easterly
direction
from
fourth
street
to
the
railroad
tracks.
I
It
gives
a
list
of
addresses
in
which
there
are
suspected
drug
trafficking
and
there's
an
average
of
one
crack
house
for
every
five
blocks
and
they
are
asking
for
assistance
and
help,
and
that
is
an
email
that
was
sent
to
the
city
of
beaumont.
All
council
members,
the
sheriff
the
chief
of
police,
as
well
as
the
district
attorney's
office,
any
u.s
agencies
that
should
be
involved
and
they're
asking
that
they
get
relief,
and
I
told
them.
I
would
ensure
that
everyone
did
receive
that.
A
H
H
H
If
just
this
is
you
can
go
out
there,
I'd
even
tell
the
public
right
out
to
the
center
mark
theater
out
there
on
I-10,
which
is
closed
because
of
the
pandemic
right
out
there
and
just
drive
through
the
parking
lot
and
look
at
the
failures,
because
people
have
gone
to
the
moving
the
last
year.
A
lot
of
those
failures
weren't
there,
meaning
the
soil
conditions.
H
If
you
had
new
water
lines
everywhere
in
the
city
of
beaumont,
which
isn't
possible
in
any
city
in
america
or
the
world,
but
let's
say
you
did,
let's
say
that
you
had
hundreds
and
hundreds
of
miles
of
new
water
lines
in
the
ground.
That
is
not
going
you're
still
going
to
have
breaks
you
you
are
so
go
drive
through
that
parking
lot.
Look
at
the
failures
I'm
talking
from
here
to
the
podium.
H
I
was
out
there
within
the
last
four
or
five
days.
Now,
that's
all
private
property,
but
the
conditions
out
there
willow
creek,
there's
a
lot
of
parts
of
the
city
where
there's
more
changes
in
in
the
soil
conditions
than
other
areas
of
the
city.
That's
just
an
example
of.
If
you
have
new
lines,
you
know
buried
you're
still
going
to
have
these
problems
as
the
ground
shifts
and
pipe
shifts,
and
you
have
these
breaks.
It's
not
that
the
city's
done
anything
wrong
or
other
cities.
H
For
that
matter,
you
could
have
again
brand
new
infrastructure
in
a
city.
That's
30
years
old.
That's
not
the
point.
The
point
is
depends
on
soil
conditions,
weather
conditions,
you're
going
to
have
breaks
a
lot
of
times.
The
public
doesn't
even
see
it.
They
drive
by
we're
fixing
it
and
the
water's
still
clear,
sometimes
depending
again
case
by
case,
depending
on
the
size
of
the
line
and
how
many
lines
are
affected,
how
many
lines
we
have
to
isolate
you're
going
to
have
discolored
water,
so
I.
D
H
What's
changed
too
from
what's
changed
dramatically
over
the
last
compared
to
30
years
ago,
20
years
ago?
Is
social
media?
We
all
know
people
talk
more
about
it,
misinformation,
some
good
information,
a
lot
of
misinformation
start
sharing
it
and
I
just
want
accurate
information
out
there.
The
truth
of
the
matter
is
all
cities
have
breaks.
H
How
many
of
you
gone
up
to
the
country
and
stayed
in
a
hotel
an
hour
from
here,
and
you
see
the
discoloration
you
know
in
their
water.
Some
water
is
harder
than
others
depends
on
where
you
get
it,
whether
it's
well
water,
whether
it's
surface
water.
So
there's
a
lot
at
play
here,
but
that's
why
we're
staffed
every
day
we
have
people
on
call
every
night,
because
we
have
breaks
we're
going
to
continue
to
have
breaks
and
most
of
the
time
again
you
don't
see
it.
A
Thank
you
for
that.
Okay,
so
one
thing
that
I
did
want
to
talk
about
is,
as
always,
we
do
have
tomorrow
and
thursday
is
going
on
in
emergency
management
and
if
you've
registered
your
cell
phone
with
stan,
which
I'm
going
to
talk
about
in
just
a
second,
you
could
get
a
call,
and
that
is
testing
for
it.
But
if
you
haven't
registered,
that
call
is
saying:
tell
your
family
and
friends
register.
A
You,
the
there
is
a
phone
number,
I
don't
have
it
in
front
of
me,
but
if
you
go
to
stan
stands
for
southeast
texas
alert
network
and
if
you
go
to
www.stan.com,
you
can
register
your
cell
phone
and
get
those
alerts,
but
there
will
be
a
series
of
calls
coming
out
over
the
next
two
days
tomorrow
and
thursday,
asking
people
to
do
that
and
if
you've
already
done
it,
you
may
get
a
call
too.
So
please
be
aware
of
that,
and
that
is
emergency
alert
exercise.
A
We
do
different
exercises
throughout
the
year
for
different
emergencies.
We
had
never
done
one
for
a
pandemic,
but
I
think
we're
doing
no
one
had,
but
you
know
we're
working
on
hurricane
season
right
now.
You
know
anything
that
could
happen
a
spill
on
the
freeway,
whatever
it
might
be.
If
there's
a
danger
or
there's
an
emergency,
you
want
to
know
about
that
on
your
cell
phone.
I
would
think
so.
Please
register
your
cell
phones.
A
In
addition,
last
week
I
talked
about
the
national
guard
mobile
testing
unit,
which
is
the
the
group
that
has
been
in
our
city
on
and
off
over
the
last
few
weeks
doing
covet
19
testing.
There
are
walk-ups
and
they're
from
eight
to
four
alice
keith
park
was
today.
I
haven't
gotten
numbers
from
that.
Yet
rogers
park
is
actually
tomorrow.
A
Third,
I'm
sorry,
I'm
sorry!
Not
tomorrow
thursday,
the
23rd
central
park
is
friday.
The
24th
and
sterling
pruitt
is
the
28th
tuesday,
and
I
just
got
notification
that
there
will
be
monday
through
friday
of
next
week.
Christo
ray
will
have
one
monday
through
friday
of
next
week.
As
I
said,
you
do
not
have
to
register
for
those
they're
put
on
by
the
national
national
guard,
a
mobile
testing
unit
they're
from
eight
to
four.
A
Sometimes
they
close
a
little
earlier
than
four
if
they
get
to
their
number,
but
those
are
on
our
website
and
on
our
facebook
page
both
on
the
emergency
management.
Please,
like
the
city
of
beaumont
emergency
management,
page,
that's
a
new
page
that
will
give
so
we
can
take
some
of
the
emergency
management
information
off
of
the
police
department
page
because
we
have
too
much
on
please
we're
going
to
put
it
on
emergency
management
and
that'll
also
be
on
the
government
page.
A
A
So
y'all
might
remember
those
of
you
that
were
on
council
in,
like
2007
2008,
we
developed
the
customer
service
hotline,
which
was
3-1-1
and
now
we
are
using
that,
in
addition
to
a
customer
service
hotline
for
emergency
management,
both
to
register
people
with
stan,
but
also
when
we
have
like
we
have
harvey
or
imelda
to
use
for
non-emergent
calls
so
everyone's
not
using
911.
If
it's
not
emergent,
so
just
an
fyi
on
that
I
already
said,
but
today
I
mean
yesterday
we
had
87
new
cases.
A
A
And
again
I
also
want
to
say
that
if
you
have
recovered,
please
please
consider
giving
your
plasma
to
the
blood
bank
or
to
call
and
just
let
your
doctor
know
or
something
it's
not
like
a
normal.
It's
not
like
when
you
give
blood
it's
much
easier
than
that
and
they're
in
desperate
need
of
that
to
help
some
of
these
people
get
off
these
ventilators
or
hopefully,
never
get
on
the
ventilators.
A
In
addition,
since
this
is
still
going
on,
I
can't
say
how
important
that
is
to
our
city
as
far
as
funding,
whether
it
be
housing,
just
a
myriad
of
things
that
we
do
at
the
city.
So
if
you
haven't
already
gone
online
or
called
just
go
to
the
u.s
census
bureau
and
look
up
all
the
information
you
can
fill
it
out
online.
A
I
don't
remember
the
exact
date,
but
after
I
think
about
maybe
in
the
next
two
to
three
weeks
they
will
start
going
door
to
door.
We
are
about
56
right
now.
We
think
in
the
city
as
far
as
who's
filled
it
out,
so
we're
not.
We
need
to
be
higher
than
that
and
last
year,
the
last
time
we
did
the
census.
At
this
time
we
were
probably
in
the
60s
below
60
64,
so
we're
a
little
bit
behind,
probably
due
to
covid,
but
it's
been
extended.
A
So
please,
if
you
haven't
done
it,
it
will
not
hurt
you
on
benefits.
It
will
not
hurt
you
on
anything
that
you
do.
This
will
help
our
citizens
and
some
of
the
things
even
that
we
talked
about
today
for
funding
sources.
So
with
that
said,
I
believe
I
read
the
executive
session.
I
think
that's
all
I
had
and
we
appreciate
those
of
you
who
watched
and
those
of
you
who
came
and
we
are
now
we
will
now
recess
into
executive
session.
