Okay,
there
is
another
source
of
information
that
is
also
very
useful.
It's
on
u.s
mexico,
trade
through
south
inland
ports-
and
we
have
here
texas,
with
all
of
its
ports
of
entry,
new
mexico,
with
its
border,
ports
of
entry,
arizona,
all
of
its
border,
ports
of
entry
and
california,
and
we
also
have
a
monthly
trade
report.
So
as
an
example,
if
someone
wants
to
to
see
what
is
crossing,
let's
say
through
nogales
arizona
to
nogales
sonora,
we
have
the
information
here.
H
H
H
H
So
this
this
is
another
source
of
information
over
in
publications.
There's
a
some
of
the
multiple
presentations
that
I
have
been
given
in
the
last
few
years
regarding
our
region
and
other
issues.
So,
okay,
that's
just
a
quick
overview
of
what
the
texas
center
does
for
our
community,
and
I
just
I
think,
okay,
I
need
to
stop
the
sharing
that,
because
now
I'm
gonna
share
my
my.
H
H
H
So
when
an
issue
just
like
this
about
the
clusters,
when
we
were
asked
about
it,
we
are
not
currently
working
on
a
specific
project.
On
cluster
analysis,
we
have
some
information,
we
will
probably
work
on
it.
It
all
depends
on
what
comes
along,
but
basically,
what
would
I
like
to
start
a
is
a
quick
definition
of
professor
here.
What
are
clusters?
I
don't
you
all,
probably
already
know
what
it
is,
but
anyway.
H
This
presentation
with
you,
I
think,
via
the
chat
or
I'll,
send
it
to
arnold
and
or
tecla
and
you
and
they
can
send
it
to
all
of
you.
It's
a
geographic
concentration
of
related
companies,
organizations
and
institutions
in
a
particular
field
that
can
be
present
in
a
region,
state
or
nation.
They
arise
because
they
raise
a
company's
productivity
which
is
influenced
by
local
assets
and
the
presence
of
like
firms,
institutions
and
infrastructure
that
surround
it.
H
This
is
the
model
that
michael
porter
created
around
1990,
where
he
he
first
suggested
this,
this
vision
of
a
of
clusters
and
how
each
one
of
them
is
centrally
related
for
the
other.
There
are
two
type
of
clusters:
local
clusters,
that
consist
of
groups
of
industries
that
primarily
serve
the
local
market
and
traded
clusters
that
provide
products
and
services
for
cross-regional
markets,
and
they
bring
in
dollars
from
outside.
H
H
the
next
slides
we're
going
to
see
which
one
of
these
each
of
these
spheres
what
they
represent.
But
right
now
I
would
just
call
your
attention
to
see
that
you
have
two
blue
two
types
of
blue:
a
stronger
and
a
more
light.
Color
of
blue
and
orange
orange
is
last
decade.
2000
2009
and
the
blue
is
our
current.
So
when
we
are
above
one,
we
are
above
the
national
average.
H
We
are
under
the
national
average
of
employment
in
that
sector.
Above
one
we
are
above
the
national
average,
so
here,
basically
transportation
and
warehousing
from
2009
to
2019
grew
4,
000,
almost
5
000
jobs,
and
it's
we
already
know
it.
It's
the
most
important
source
of
the
employment
or
of
the
competitive
advantage
of
of
laredo.
H
H
This
is
another
comparison
of
other
services
over
here.
We
basically
go
with
the
big
ones:
transportation,
health,
education
retail.
Over
here
we
can
see
the
other
sectors,
the
other
clusterization
of
sectors,
business
services,
the
the
purple,
one
from
3
500
jobs
in
20,
2009
to
7
300..
So
I
got
doubled
business
services,
finance
and
insurance,
it
lost
jobs,
professional
services
gained
jobs
remains
more
or
less
at
the
same
part,
but
all
of
these
remember
are
below
the
national
average.
H
H
This
is
a
like
a
projected
job
that
will
be
created
from
2019
to
2029,
from
the
u.s
bureau
of
labor
statistics
in
our
case
and
these
computer
and
mathematical
occupations,
community
and
social
service
occupations,
healthcare,
practitioners
and
technical
occupations
and
support
occupations,
sales
and
related
occupations,
office
and
administrative
support,
occupations,
farming,
fishing
and
forestry
occupations,
product
production,
occupations,
so
green
ones
we're
growing.
They
are
expected
to
grow
management
occupations
has
the
medium
highest
media
manual,
wage
computers.
So
this
is
this
shows
us
what
is
going
to
grow.
C
H
Okay,
so
this
that
you're
gonna
have
this.
This
is
also
the
the
same:
the
employment
clusters,
but
from
2000
2009.
This
is
just
like
the
a
larger
projection
of
what
I
already
showed
you
comparison
so
they're
going
to
have
it,
so
you
want
to
want
to
see
it.
This
is
interesting
and
important,
and
I
don't
know
if
I
can
you're
just
seeing
the
the
presentation
right,
not
my
my
web
browser.
H
Okay,
I'll,
show
you
the
where
I
got
this
before.
I
finish.
This
is
from
the
u.s
cluster
mapping
project
and
it
shows
us
employment
in
webb,
county
in
2017,
private,
non-agricultural
employment,
transportation
and
logistics.
Once
again,
we
know
it's
the
the
highest,
but
we're
number
27
ranked
and
in
the
united
states
this
is
traded
clusters.
Remember
it's
the
one!
That's
from
outside
local
clusters:
it's
local
hospitality
establishments.
H
It's
number
one
and
over
here
is
local
logistical
services.
It's
a
number
177
in
the
us,
so
our
leading
source
of
competitiveness,
that
is
logistics,
is
and
traded
number
27,
and
that
means
out
of
laredo
number
27
in
the
country
and
local,
it's
1777.
So
this
is
good
for
us.
It
just
shows
what
we
already
have
okay
over
here.
H
This
dotted
gold
line
is
the
u.s
average
traded
cluster
wage,
and
if
we
go
down
to
see
oil
and
gas
production
and
transportation,
that
is
our
second
highest,
we
are
very
very
below
what
is
the
u.s
average
wage
for
this
cluster
over
here,
and
we
if
we
go
still
down
transportation
and
logistics,
this
is
the
u.s
average
wage
and
we
are
below
very,
very
reloaded.
So
that
is
something
that
we
have
to
work
on.
These
are
wages.
H
Once
again,
logistical
services-
we
are
on
a
buyer
with
the
u.s
average,
but
we're
still
below
for
the
cluster
two
different
things
and
just
to
go
back
to
something
that
that
I
have
been
thinking
about
is
there
is
a
already
there
are
already
documentation
and
guidelines
that
have
information
for
this
specific
issue
that
you
want
to
work
on.
Actually
it
is
there.
You
probably
came
out
from
that.
Some
of
you
were
part
of
the
laredo
economic
recovery
task
force
that
we
were
invited
around
when
the
pandemic
started
and
teclo
alma.
H
Remember,
I
can't
remember
anyone
else.
I
can't
see
you
I
just
report
little
screens,
but
anyway
there
I
mentioned
that
we
have
to
use
these
documents
that
are
so
important.
We
have
to
look
forward.
We
cannot
just
expect
to
to
like
a
fireman
a
pagar
fuegos.
We
can.
We
have
to
look
forward
and-
and
that
is
why
strategic
planning
documents
like
the
comprehensive
plan,
the
economic
development
strategy
and
the
region
laredo.
The
long-term
vision
plan
for
noaa
are
very
important
to
consider
in
the
economic
development
strategy.
H
It
is
already
here
you,
we
can
already
see
here.
Transportation
services
general
warehousing,
that
is
our
our
leading
source
and
where
we
could
diversify
and
what
new
areas
we
could
attend.
So
this
is
these
are
the
areas
where
maybe
the
city
should
should
consider
working
on
on
something.
So
now,
I'm
gonna
just
quickly
stop
sharing
this
and
show
you
something
else
and
for
those
of
you
who
want.
Where
am
I
chair,.
C
H
H
A
I
I
I
The
subcommittee
would
love
to
have
some
notes
from
all
of
you
on
what
your
thoughts
are
thus
far
on
the
whole
chapter,
380.,
so
to
just
kind
of
dive
into
it.
The
framework
of
how
this
was
developed
was
by
using
san
antonio's,
el
paso
and
austin
austin
had
an
amazing
one
and
what
it
did
really
well.
I
The
second
paragraph
is
regarding
the
civil
rights
public
private
partnerships.
In
chapter
380.,
I
think
it's
really
important
to
start
mentioning
this
language
of
public-private
partnerships.
I
know
there's
been
questions
and,
and
people
are
trying
to
understand
how
those
can
actually
be
done,
it's
something
that
goes
very
well
with
chapter
380,
so
I
do
have
a
section
in
here
that
refers
to
how
they
can
intermingle.
I
The
next
section
is
referring
to
the
economic
development
guideline
goals,
and
it's
really
kind
of
just
bundling
it
all
together
from
the
radio
economics
and
strategies,
it's
funny
how
the
previous
first
presentation
had
this.
That's
why
it's
included
here
also
because
the
idea,
especially
in
this
first
section
of
this
chapter,
380
guidelines,
is
we
want
the
individuals
that
that
packet
to
understand
what
the
city
of
laredo
is
really
looking
to
try
to
bring.
So
it
mentions
all
these,
the
core
targets,
the
device,
diversification
targets,
the
emerging
targets.
I
That's
why
this
little
charts
included
in
here
so
the
key
performance
metrics,
there's
an
entire
page
located
within
the
guidelines.
There's
a
lot
of
them
that
we're
showing
here
and
the
reason
behind
it
is.
We
believe,
there's
a
lot
of
ways.
You
can
measure
economic
development.
You
know
it
can
be
as
simple
as
you
know,
tax
revenue
generated
over
time
or
as
complex
as
as.
I
I
This
just
kind
of
almost
provides
a
menu
to
any
company
or
or
business,
that's
coming
to
laredo
and
showing
them
what
they
can
kind
of
come
to
us
with
and
say
you
know
what
we
think
we
can
meet
these
metrics
and
let
us
show
you
how-
and
these
guidelines
are
very
important
for
the
city
to
understand.
You
know
we're
opening
we're
open
to
receiving
these
type
of
metrics
as
as
the
guideline,
if,
if
a
project
is,
is
worth
developing
a
chapter
384
or
not,
so
there's
all
these
little
sections
here.
I
I
we've
already
gotten
some
feedback
on
this,
where
I
think
a
way
of
making
this
a
little
more
clearer
for,
let's
say
businesses
that
may
not
be
able
to
provide
the
data
to
prove
some
of
these
points
maybe
have
some
points
that
are
highlighted
that
let's
say
the
city
has
already
collected
data
from.
Let's
say
you
know
what
is
a
livable
wage?
We
would
be
able
to
provide
that
information
already
in
these
key
performance
metrics.
So
the
next
section
goes
into
purpose
of
the
380.
I
It
kind
of
goes
back
into
what
our
goal
is.
That's
2.0
2.1
jumps
into
the
eligibility
of
the
program
for
the
projects.
It's
now.
What
we're
really
diving
into
is.
Are
they
qualifying
projects?
Do
they
meet
all
these
criteria
that
we'd
like
to
set,
or
do
they
meet
a
criteria
that
we'd
like
to
set
so
on
2.2?
Each
program
will
be
created
in
consideration
of
this
framework
and
supporting
key
priorities
determined
by
the
overlap
between.
I
So
what
this
is
really
kind
of
referring
to
is
so
we
will
need
to
develop,
or
when
I
say
we
that
being
the
subcommittee
or
this,
the
actual
city
develop.
This
framework
for
these
priorities
and
determine
what
they
really
want
to
go
for
things
that
are
that
are
not
kind
of
currently
mentioned
in
chapter
30.
Examples
that
I've
seen
that
happened
in
laredo
is
the
trade
and
advanced
logistics,
there's
no
provision
or
mention
of
federal
trade
zone
abatements
I've.
I
I
am
not
an
expert
in
these,
but
I'm
sure
some
of
you
that
are
in
trade
understand
these.
I
I
don't
know
how
to
insert
the
language
myself
to
be
honest,
but
I
do
think
we
need
to
mention
the
fact
that
laredo
actually
has
these
abatements
for
trade
and
events
logistics,
and
I
think
it
should
be
mentioned
in
here,
because
the
way
we
should
look
at
this
document
is
once
these
businesses
or
companies
look
at
this
document.
I
They
should
be
able
to
already
understand
hey
without
even
this
chapter
380.
There
are
bonus
things
that
we
can
already
ascertain
and
if
we're
really
going
to
be
going
after
trade
and
logistics
well,
we
should
mention
the
federal
trade
zones,
so
tourism
and
retail
there's
no
provision
in
the
document
for
sales
tax
abatement.
I
I
know
we've
done
chapter
380s
with
sales
tax
abatements.
So
I
think
we
should
actually
mention
what
that
number
would
most
likely
look
like
as
an
opportunity
towards
businesses.
If
that's
another
thing,
they'd
like
to
go
for
in
those
chapter
380s
another,
so
security
and
technology
as
it
pertains
to
border
and
logistics.
I
actually
had
a
discussion
with
vegana
frank
regarding
this,
and
I
know
wants
to
go
after
these
logistics.
I
just
think
it
I'm
not
sure
if
it
should
be
mentioned.
I
This
is
one
of
these
things
that
I
really
want
feedback
from
everyone
on
this
committee,
the
logic
behind
the
uncertainty
on
putting
an
incentive
out
there
for
federal
agencies,
as
federal
agencies
go
where
they
need
to
go
it.
It's
almost
kind
of
like
we're
tossing
money
towards
someone
that,
if
they
need
to
be
in
loreto,
they're
going
to
be
in
laredo,
and
if
I
I
can
tell
you
as
a
commercial
broker,
I
can
see
major
issues
arising
in
the
fact
that
usually,
these
are
private
entities
that
go
after
these
contracts.
I
I'm
not
sure
if,
in
these
chapter
380s
the
city
can
start
competing
for
these
contracts,
federal
agencies
and
trying
to
get
them
and
give
them
abatements.
I
I
can
just
really
see
that
not
really
being
taken
well
by
the
business
sector
out
there.
So
on
the
continuation,
like
I
said,
I
don't
want
to
just
dive
into
everything.
I
just
want
to
highlight
certain
things:
the
revitalization
of
key
com,
key
employment,
node
or
specifically
designated
areas
in
the
city.
I
This
is
mentioned
because
it
provides
the
opportunity
for
certain
sectors.
We
can
actually
designate
certain
areas
and
and
designate
them
as
traits.
You
know
trade
logistics
designate
areas
as
retail,
so
in
other
words,
if
you're
a
retailer
you're
coming
after
these
incentives,
you
we
would
most
likely
want
you
to
be
in
these
specific
zones.
I
So
and
another
thing
to
mention
on
the
map,
just
because
they're
not
in
the
map,
it's
always
up
to
council
to
be
able
to
decide
if
they
still
want
to
prove
something
or
not.
So
I
wouldn't
consider
that
a
limitation,
if
anything,
I
just
think
it
provides
more
information
for
these
businesses
to
understand
where
we
really
kind
of
want
these
businesses
and
companies
to
go.
If
we
were
to
give
them
these
incentives,
so
the
amount
of
the
incentive
for
project
program.
I
This
is
the
grant
side
of
the
whole
thing,
and
I
know
this
grant
language
can
sometimes
be
confusing,
but
essentially
what
it
is
is
it's
a
tax
reimbursement.
These
are
the
example
amounts
that
we
that
are
in
here
right
now.
This
is
another
section.
I'd
really
like
to
get
some
feedback
on.
Basically,
the
way
it
works.
There's
two
ways
we
can
either
give
tax
abatements
based
off
investment,
or
we
can
give
tax
abatements
based
off
of
job
creation
we
can,
and
those
can
both
intermingle
simultaneously.
I
Also,
I
think,
what's
very,
very
important
is
that
we
have
language
that
refers
to
a
living
wage
with
standard
benefits
in
the
presentation
that
you
just
heard.
Laredo's
biggest
issue
right
now
is
that
we
have
we're
a
major
wage
gap
compared
to
other
cities.
So
I
know
a
lot
of
the
complaints.
At
least
what
you
typically
read
and
see
among
citizens
is
that
that
the
jobs-
just
don't
pay
well
enough
here
and
because
that
we
have
brain
drain.
I
On
top
of
that,
we
have
poverty.
So
I
think
it's
really
important
to
understand
if
we're
going
to
be
giving
these
incentives
out
there
that
they
benefit
the
citizens.
When
these
jobs
are
created
before
covid,
we
had
really
low
minimum
wage.
We
didn't
need
job.
You
know
there
was
plenty
of
jobs
out
there
that
paid
minimum
wage
in
laredo
and
up
to
12
14,
but
there
wasn't
really
anything
above
that,
so
I
think
we
need
to
take
that
into
consideration
so
on
loan
funding.
I
So
this
section
is
is
something
the
city,
I'm
not
sure.
If
they've
done
it
before,
I
do
know,
chapter
380s
can
allow
you
to
do
loans
right
now.
From
my
understanding,
in
my
conversation
with
becca,
there
is
zero
dollars
that
can
be
allocated
to
this,
but
I
I
do
believe
that
it's
in
our
best
interest
to
make
sure
that
we
put
all
the
tools
in
the
toolbox
and
we
can
always
include
language
that
states.
You
know
based
on
funding
from
city
council.
This
program
may
or
may
not
be
available
for
the
loan
funding
section.
I
So
I
I
really
do
believe
that
we
need
to
make
sure
this
language
is
in
here.
I
know
we
can
always
pass
it
later,
but
this
idea
of
passing
it
later
when
we
can
do
it
now,
I
just
to
me
I
I
do
believe
that
we
should
just
get
it
through
now
and
then,
if
we
can
fund
it
later,
that's
better,
so
you
can
dive
in
and
go
through
how
that
can
possibly
look
so
the
application
wage
and
benefit
requirements.
I
I
I
Evaluation
tools,
here's
the
but
for
statement
that
I
was
mentioning
earlier,
which
is
really
important,
cost
benefit
tool
return
on
investment.
These
are
all
different
ways
of
measuring
everything,
out,
exceptions
and
waivers,
and
then
the
process
we
need
to
figure
out
what
the
process
for
applying
for
one
of
these
grants.
I
I
think
anyone
that's
looking
to
make
you
know
a
hundred
thousand
dollar
investment
or
a
five
hundred
thousand
dollar
investment
should
be
able
to
go
through
the
same
exact
process
as
someone
that's
going
for
a
10
million
dollar
investment.
I
I
I
think
it's
really
important
in
there
refers
to
transparency
and
the
fact
that
all
this
should
be
in
an
open
portal
and
every
time
they're
approved
or
not
approved,
they
should
all
be
open
information,
but
that's
essentially
pretty
much
most
of
this
annual
update
and
reporting
you
need
to
once
these
go
out
that
same
kind
of
open
access
that
we
should
provide
all
that
data
out
there.
We
should
also
provide
the
updated
data
to
show
how
these
so
so
the
public
can
see.
Okay,
this
company,
that
got
this
chapter
380.
I
A
A
A
I
Okay,
yeah
I'll,
be
brief,
and
then
I'll.
Let
that
go
so
so,
for
example,
this
this
mention
of.
Let
me
just
come
up
revenue
positive
grants,
so
I
struggle
with
saying
that
is
a
bad
thing,
especially
for
example,
we
have
you,
know
20
companies
creating
you
know
smaller
jobs,
less
investments,
but
are
very
revenue
positive,
where
the
the
grants
that
we're
putting
out
there
for
them
is
creating
so
much
more.
I
C
Well,
yeah.
Thank
you
very
much
appreciate
julian.
So
on
that
particular
question,
you
know
you
have
to
decide
what
that
number
is
and
the
380
program
isn't
for
small
businesses
and
for
for
loans
and
grants
of
100
grand
or
50
grand.
Mr
chairman,
I
think
you
you're
correct.
You
would
be
inundated
with
that
and
there
are
separate
programs
for
that
kind
of
thing.
In
addition
to
that,
that
goes
into
the
private
sector
and
what
what
private
sector
businesses
do
like
ibc,
bank
or
lyft
fund.
