Okay,
all
right,
so
I'm
gonna
share
a
screen.
First
of
all,
thank
you.
Everyone
for
for
joining
the
meeting.
I
really
appreciate
y'all
doing
that.
I
know
everyone's.
You
know.
Timing
is
tight,
and
so
I'm
gonna
go
through
some
stuff.
Pretty
quick.
If
you
need
to
ask
something,
please
do
if
it's
something
that's
more
a
little
bit
more,
you
know
detailed,
please.
I
welcome
your
call
or
email
later
and
I'll
try
to
do
a
better
job
of
answering
at
that
at
that
time.
E
What
I,
what
I'd
like
to
do
is
give
the
committee
plenty
of
time
for
the
last
item
on
this
agenda
for
y'all
to
discuss
as
a
group.
So
if
I
go
a
little
bit
fast,
I
apologize,
but
I
just
want
to
get
to
that
someone's
like
unwrapping
like
their
sandwich
or
something
right
now,
they're
eating.
So
if
y'all,
can
you,
charles
mike
that'd,
be
great.
E
E
I
know
it's
almost
the
end
of
2020,
but
some
of
these
numbers
don't
come
together
so
quickly
and
we
have
to
you
know,
wait
on
organizations
like
the
federal
bank
of
the
us
census.
You
know
to
put
these
together.
Some
come
quickly
like
unemployment
rates,
but
some
of
these
others
don't.
So
that's
why
it
wasn't
until
the
end
of
october
that
we
were
able
to
get
some
of
this
information.
E
So
I
just
want
to
go
with
some
of
these.
You
know
and-
and
I
can
send
you
these
or
y'all-
can
screenshot
or
whatever
the
case
is
this
information
and
use?
However,
you
want,
and
so
let's
go
through
them
very
quickly,
our
labor
in
2010,
our
labor
force,
meaning
how
many
folks
were
working
at
that
time
was
a
hundred
and
five
thousand
apartment.
That
was
a
part.
Our
labor
force
right
people
working
was
ninety
six
thousand,
so
our
unemployment
was
eighty
six
hundred.
E
So
that's
what
our
labor
force
looked
like
here
in
in
the
in
the
metro
area,
which
is
basically
webb
county.
We
had
105
people
that
were
of
working
age,
which
is
16
and
above
our
employment
was
96
000
and
then
our
unemployment
rate
was
actually
8.2
percent,
which
is
was
for
back
then,
was
wasn't
that
high,
but
it
was
a
little
high.
Still.
E
Our
median
household
income
was
34
900.,
our
gross
domestic
product,
meaning
what
the
the
measurement
of
the
of
goods
that
laredo
produces
not
just
for
exportation
but
for
use
inside
of
laredo,
but
all
the
other
things
we
produced
was
7.7
billion
dollars.
Our
total
trade
and
meaning
international
trade
that
we
were
going
back
and
forth
across
the
border
was
112
billion
dollars.
E
Our
median
household
income
here
in
laredo
is
56
084..
Now
that's
a
significant
jump
from
2010
and
and
especially
the
last
two
years.
Even
last
year,
our
median
household
income
in
laredo
jumped
17
and
I
think
it
jumped
like
eight
percent
the
year
before
so
we're
we're
beginning
to
earn
a
lot
more
money
in
laredo.
Now
we're
still
not
at
the
state
average,
but
we're
a
lot
closer.
I
think
the
state
average
is
like
with
61
or
something
like
that.
E
We
used
to
be
about
40,
about
14
000
below
the
state
average.
Now
we're
more
like
4
000,
5
000
below
the
state
average.
So
we're
really
we're
doing
much
better,
but
we
could
be
doing
even
better
than
that.
Our
gross
domestic
product
look
at
the
goods
we
produce
here
went
up
quite
a
bit
eleven
point:
you
know:
seven
billion
our
total
trade
was
232
billion,
and
then
our
population
was
276
000
in
the
metro
area
and
2019..
E
So
then,
if
I
slide
down
to
the
10-year
assessment
on
those
eight
categories,
let's
look
at
labor
force:
real,
quick,
okay,
just
natural
growth,
population
and
people
coming
of
age.
We
we
improved
our
labor
force
by
thirteen
thousand
people
at
thirteen
percent
unemployment
or
employment
growth,
meaning
people
working
or
job
creation
right.
We
created
almost
eighteen
thousand
new
jobs
in
that
10-year
period,
or
we
were
up
18.5
on
employment
unemployment.
We
were
down
4
100
people
that
were
unemployed.
E
E
I
am
not,
but
I
know
that
median
is
different
from
average
and
it's
a
it's
a
truer,
a
way
to
understand
what
what
a
real
number
is,
and
so
that's
why
the
fed
bank
and
the
census
use
median
household
incomes
either
way
you
slice
it.
Laredo
improves
60
percent
on
median
household
income
from
during
that
10-year
period,
our
gross
domestic
product,
improved
52
percent,
or
about
4
billion
dollars.
E
Our
total
international
trade,
through
our
bridges,
was
up
85,
as
you
all
can
see
the
raw
numbers
up
earlier,
125
to
232
and
then
and
then
our
population
increased
just
10
percent,
which,
which
is
very
fast,
but
there
are
suburbs
around
dallas
and
houston
and
austin
and
san
antonio,
that
are
growing
a
lot
faster
than
that.
But
that's
okay,
because
our
unemployment
went
down
right,
our
household
income
went
up
and
if
you
and
if
your
population
starts
outstripping
your
your
job
creation,
you've
got
trouble.
E
I
mean
I
didn't
go
into
education
and
which
is
also
an
economic
development
factor,
but
but
our
education
numbers
are
up
as
well,
so
anyway
take
it
for
what
it's
worth
use
them.
If
you'd
like,
don't
use
them
it's
up
to
you,
but
for
the
short
term
right
here
I
can
try
to
answer
questions
if
y'all
have
any.
Mr
chairman,
I
have
a.
C
E
So
they
form
that
group
forms
about
25
24,
I
think
of
of
of
laredo's
paycheck.
If
you
will
pardon
me,
they
that's
how
many
folks
they
employ
like
24
25
of
our
employment
is
in
that
government
sector,
but
they,
but
the
paycheck
that
they
produce
is
is
upwards
of
33
percent
of
the
entire
paycheck
pie
for
laredo.
So
that
area
pays
very
well.
You
can
imagine
federal
employees,
you
know
police
officers,
firemen,
you
know
sheriff's
deputies
that
they
get
paid
fairly
well.
E
B
E
E
B
E
E
C
E
No,
but
we're
going
to
post
it
on
there
when
I
make
it
better,
look
a
little
bit
better
julian,
but
that's
a
really
good
suggestion
and
that's
what
we're
we're
getting
to
I'd
like
to
add
a
couple
of
more
categories.
Maybe,
but
but
yes,
we're
going
to
post
it
as
soon
as
we
we
get
it
complete
here
right
here.
Thank
you.
B
E
Yeah
yeah
they
they
have
a
lot
of
information
on
their
on
their
web
on
their
website,
and
some
of
some
of
which
I
have
here,
although
I
didn't
rely
on
it
this
time,
but
they
also
have
really
good
crossing
numbers
even
for
northbound
traffic.
It
might
be
a
little
bit
dated
like
a
year
or
two
behind,
but
they
do
a
lot
of
compiling
of
information
of
all
sorts.
A
Anybody
else
yet
can
I
ask
a
question:
it's
joe
sure,
tecla,
with
this
information
that
we've
got
for
the
last
10
years.
How
can
we,
as
a
committee
with
this
information,
supplemented
with
some
of
the
stuff
you
talked
about
with
the
industries
with
julian?
How
can
we
use
this
information
to
plan
for
the
next
10
years
to
try
and
get?
This
is
incredible
growth
and
I
don't
know
that
it's
sustainable,
but
to
continue
it
from
you
know
going
in
the
wrong
direction.
E
If
you
could
add
more
categories
to
this
information,
like
you
know
julian
suggested
and
then
and
then
you
know
pub
and
then
post
it
and
then
use
it
in
meetings,
use
it
for
strategic
planning,
give
it
to
other
departments.
You
know
say
the
next
time
we
do
a
comp
plan,
you
know
which
maybe
in
the
next
five
years
or
something
you
know,
we
need
this
kind
of
info
you
know
to
to
to
find
out
which,
which
direction
that
we
need
to
go
in.
You
know
that's
that
old
joke.
E
You
know.
Why
did?
Why
did?
Why
was
the
guy
writing
backgrounds
on
his
horse
and
he
said
because
I
want
to
see
where
I
have
been
right.
I
mean
that's
the
kind
of
that's
the
kind
of
thing
that
that
this
information
is
for
so
yeah
I
mean,
and
you
can
go
on
forever.
You
know
compiling.
Even
you
know
you
can
compile
100
categories
here.
The
census
will
be
out.
The
full
census
will
be
out
next
year
and
that'll
give
us
a
really
really
good
micro
level.
E
Access
to
information
like
how
many
small
businesses
do
we
have
in
laredo
how
many
veteran-owned
businesses,
how
many
women-owned
businesses
are
in
town?
What's
what's
the
what's,
the
true
poverty
rate
based
on
earnings
and
against
inflation,
so
all
that
stuff
will
be
out
after
well.
The
sense
is
a
little
bit
delayed
right
now,
so
it
may
not
be
till
may
or
june
or
july
of
next
year,
but
we
can.
We
can
really
start
developing
something
in
earnest.
You
know
once
that
comes
around.
A
And-
and
I
guess
a
little
follow-up
to
that-
the
reason
I
ask
right
is
the
median
household
income
and
I
think
you
referenced
it
that
it's
different
than
the
average,
as
I'm
sure
you
know
what
that
does
is
just
take
all
the
data
points
and
pick
the
one
right
in
the
middle.
So
I
don't
know
looking
based
on
this,
whether
our
lower
income
residents
are
also
growing,
or
this
is
just
sort
of
top
heavy.
A
So,
looking
at
this
information,
I
don't
know
how,
generally
everyone
is
doing
other
than
the
number
right
in
the
middle
is
higher.
You
know,
so
I
don't
know
what
the
average
is.
I
don't
know
you
know
what
the
data
actually
is
other
than
looking
at
this,
and
so
where
we
need
to
focus,
we
probably
need
just
a
little
bit
more
information
is
my
thought.
Well,.
E
Well,
your
average,
your
average
is,
is
going
to
be
higher
because
it's
skewed
by
those
bigger
numbers
right-
and
so
I
think
the
average
income
in
laredo
is-
is
around
60,
000
or
maybe
more.
I
think
I
remember
the
number
and
that's
because
you
know
the
folks
that
that
earn
a
really
big
paycheck.
You
know
bring
up
a
lot
more
of
the
lower
numbers.
F
F
F
It's
going
to
take
longer
to
get
those
empty
trailers
into
our
warehouses
to
export,
and
so
we,
you
can
tell
trade
how
to
move.
Let
them
move
how
they
have
to
move
they'll
do
the
best
job
and
and
when
you
do
that,
you
can
hinder
expenses,
you
can
delay
a
lot
of
things,
so
I
think
we
need
to
do
what
we
have
to
do
and
and
not
dictate
where,
where
things
should
go
to,
I
think
there's
a
lot
of
things
that
have
to
be
done
at
the
import
lot
and
outside
the
import.
F
I
think
text
also
has
to
do
their
job
as
well,
because
that
that
is
a
very
important
area
to
our
city
and
and
and
we
have
to
take
care
of
it,
and
then
we
have
to
look
into
the
future
five
to
ten
years
as
well.
There's
got
to
be
a
committee
to
look
at
those
things.
I
I
sent
albert
torres
to
to
put
a
standing
committee
in
the
city
for
trade
for
consulting
for.
F
What's
the
best
things
that
we
need,
can
we
go
to
a
higher
toll
fee,
or
can
we
do
this,
or
can
we
do
that?
I
mean,
if
you
send,
have
you
sent
those
those
trucks
to
colombia?
The
best
thing
is
to
don't
charge
a
fee,
no
toll
fee
and
you
can
go
to
colombia,
but
let
the
trucking
and
decide
I
mean.
There's
got
to
be
an
incentive
for
them
to
go
to
colombia
where
they're
not
going
to
charge
you
toll
fees
and
the
bridges.
That's
where
you
can
kind
of
give
them
an
option.
F
E
E
E
I
think
we've
gained
about
half
of
that
back
now,
but
the
vast
majority
of
those
job
losses
were
in
in
the
lower
paid
industries,
hospitality,
restaurants,
some
construction
and
then
also
on
the
lower
end
of
medical
offices.
Like
you
know,
medical
assistance,
billing
things
of
that
nature,
that
does,
and
so
a
lot
of
the
folks
that
were
earning
very
little
money.
Those
are
the
ones
that
lost
their
jobs.
E
First,
a
lot
of
people
that
kept
their
jobs
and
earning
paychecks
were
considered
essential,
such
as
in
the
trade
industry
and
government,
so
they
kept
getting
paid
during
that
time.
So
anyway,
I
just
wanted
to
throw
that
in
there,
but
if
no
one
has
any
more
questions
we
can.
Mr
chairman,
we
can
try
to
go
to
the
next
item.
It's
very
quick:
okay,
okay,.
B
On
the
construction,
they
were
essential
also,
but
I
know
that
new
homes
are
up.
I
mean
that
that's
what
they
call
the
construction,
so
very
good.
So
we'll
go
on
to
the
second
item,
which
is
a
presentation
on
interest:
buy
down
loan
programs
for
small
businesses
that
are
being
provided
and
offered
by
other
cities.
E
Y'all
have
brought
that
to
my
attention,
and
so
the
interest
buy
down
program
is
not
something
that's
unique.
Some
other
cities
are
doing
this,
not
a
lot,
but
some
and
basically
it's
what
y'all
think
it
is.
The
city
would
get
involved
with
a
partner
like
a
lift
fund
or
people
fund,
or
somebody
like
that
to
help
small
businesses
that
are
borrowing
you
know
like
twenty
thousand
dollars
or
less
or
twenty
five
grand
or
less.
E
The
the
borrower
would
still
have
to
repay
that
money,
but
we
would,
we
would
take
care
of
the
interest
rate
and
give
that
give
that
borrower
a
break
and
make
it
easier
for
them
to
borrow
money,
to
invest
into
their
business
and
not
have
to
worry
about.
You
know
the
interest
payments
on
on
that
money.
Now.
The
reason
this
is
appealing
to
us
so
far
is
that
it
this
it
may
not
require
very
much
capital
from
the
city
and
that
and
right
now
the
city
doesn't
have
any
money
right.
E
E
Although
arnold
and
I
have
had
several
discussions
about
getting
this
going,
so
I
just
wanted
to
throw
this
up
to
you
to
let
you
know
that
we're
working
on
something
and
we
come
back
with
some
we'd
like
to
come
back
with
something
more
solid,
maybe
in
two
months
or
so
so
you
guys
can
look
at
it
and
then
and
then
kind
of
start.
You
know
making
recommendations
or
suggestions
to
the
program.
D
G
No
sir,
no
sir,
I'm
excited
about
this.
You
know
this
is
a
new
step
forward
as
far
as
what
economic
development
is
is
trying
to
to
get
done
for
the
small
businesses,
and
it
fits
right
into
what
the
the
goal
of
this
committee
is
to
to
see
it
just
to
be
a
good
fit
for
us
and
see
how
we
can
move
it
to
advice
council
that
this
is
something
I
want
to
move
forward
with.
So
I'm.
E
On
board,
you
know
me
one
last
little
caveat,
mr
chairman,
on
this
part
on
this
kind
of
program
is
that
we
initially
approached
the
economic
development
agency,
the
eda
usu
eda,
about
funding
this
program
through
a
grant
and
and
and
they
have
been
doing
this
for
years.
However,
during
this
current
administration,
they
stopped
funding
this
type
of
program.
So
we
have
a
hope
that,
maybe
and
under
the
incoming
administration,
that
this
program
gets
recapitalized
and
then,
if
that's
the
case,
then
we
just
don't
only
have
to
rely
on
the
city.
We
can.
C
Regarding
and
I'm
probably
butchering
the
exact
what
these
are
exactly
called,
but
I
think
banks
have
community
reinvestment
credits.
Does
that
tie
into
this
at
all,
or
can
the
private
banks
and
laredo
join
in
on
this
or
partially
fund
this
for
credits,
or
is
there
anything
of
that
nature?
Maybe
john
will
be
able
to
chime
in
on
this.
B
You
know,
like
we
looked
at
another
program,
I
forgot
the
the
the
the
actual
program
thickly,
but
it's
just
it's
just
so
cumbersome,
and
it's
just
that
was
just
so
cumbersome
that
we,
we
just
said,
look
we're
just
not
interested
in
something
like
that.
I
mean
there
might
be
other
other
banks
that
might
be
so
yeah.
It
would
be
to
me.
I
think
it
would
be
difficult,
but
other
banks
might
like
you
said
I
heard
like
compass-
was
now
going
to
be
pnc.
They
they
needed
a
lot
of
cra.
E
They
do
need
a
lot
of
cra,
but
great
point
julian,
I
think
I
know
bbva
was,
is
always
looking
for
credits.
You
know
they.
They
run
a
program
through
a
mile
one
right
now,
which
dele,
where
they
kind
of
develop
these
financial
well-being,
seminars
for
small
businesses
and
people
who
are
not
very
high
income
earners,
and
they
get
credits
from
that
because
I
used
to
do
it
admission
for
them.
E
D
E
D
E
My
bad,
I'm
sorry,
I
thought
you
referred
this
one.
I
don't
know
I
could
check
on
that.
Hopefully
we
can
still
go
up
there
and
things
will
be
a
little
bit
more
settled
down
by
the
spring,
but
yeah
that'd
be
a
great
idea.
Now
they
do.
They
do
give
a
lot
of
their
regional
offices
a
lot
of
autonomy,
so
their
austin
office
handles
just
about
everything
that
dc
would
but
yeah
no
good
idea.
B
Very
good
anything
else,
so
we
can
move
on
to
the
next
agenda
item
any
and
anybody
else
have
any
anything
on
number.
Four,
on
the
interest
buy
down.
Okay,
we'll
go
on
to
number
two
number.
What
is
it
here?
It
says:
move
number
six,
which
is
the
it's
his
discussion
possible
action
to
approve
the
edac
meeting,
dates
for
the
2021
calendar
year,
and
you
see
those
on
your
screen.
D
B
Second,
totally
any
discussion
on
it.
All
those
in
favor
raise
your
hand
or
say
aye
aye
aye
motion
carries.
Thank
you.
Next
item
on
the
agenda
is
discussion
only
for
election
of
the
new
edac
chairman
and
vice
chairman
and
the
elections
will
be
held
in
the
january
2021
edac
meeting.
I
would
think
that
would
be
our
first
item.
We
were
going
to
have
it
this
one.
I
know
I
got
some
some
comments
by
some
of
the
committee
members.
B
B
Other
words,
either
way,
it'd
be
either
way
the
the
the
chairman.
If
it's
it
would
they
it
would
be
elected.
At
the
end
of
this
meeting
right,
we
were
going
to
elect
that
if
it
would
be
december,
so
it'll
be
at
the
start
of
the
meeting,
so
it
won't
affect
quote
unquote,
I
mean
that
person
conducting
the
business
right
other
than
that
I'll
open
up
the
meeting
and
from
there
you
know
after
the
minutes
we
can
have
the
election
and
that
chairman
will
take
and
the
vice
chairman
can
take
it
from
there.
B
B
E
Let
me
just
make
one
comment:
is
that
no
one
has
approached
me
about
it,
and
I
want
to
make
it
clear
to
the
committee
that
this
is
something
that,
if
you
do
have
it,
if
you
do
want
to
do
it
or
if
you
have,
you
know
someone.
You
think
that
you
want
to
nominate
from
the
committee
that
you
work
with
the
chairman
on
this.
It's
really
clear
in
the
rules
here
at
the
city
that
in
this
case
I'm
the
liaison
but
and
I
deal
with
you
all
on
projects
and
other
things.
B
C
H
C
B
E
D
Another
question
when
this
was
put
on
the
agenda
and
now
being
that
we
have
20
minutes
as
a
discussion,
only
item.
Whoever
was
able
to
put
it
on
the
agenda.
I
mean
what
kind
of
discussion
can
somebody
leave
this
discussion?
I
don't
see
what
20
minute
discussion
without
action.
I
don't
know
if
anybody
had
a
particular
vision
when
they
put
this
on
the
agenda.
As
a
discussion
only
item
I
know
I
had
requested
action
because
we
did
discuss
this
in
november
as
well.
E
Correct
the
only
reason
that
we
we
we
did,
the
discussion
only
is
because
we
had
to
post
and
we
hadn't
heard
back
from
the
entire
the
committee,
and
it
would
be
unfair
to
put
an
item
up
without
especially
one
as
important
as
this
one,
without
getting
some
feedback
from
folks
and
our
deadline
was
earlier
than
normal,
and
so
we
had
to
post,
as
I
mentioned,
to
y'all
in
that
in
that
email
or
some
of
you
in
that
email.
So,
unfortunately
that
wasn't,
that
item
was
not
able
to
be
vetted
out
properly.
E
E
You
know
I'm
just
saying
this,
for
example,
he's
going
to
accept
nominations
and
then,
after
the,
if
there's
nominations,
then
maybe
the
committee
votes
on
on
who
on
the
who
the
nominees
are,
and
then
you
pick
the
nominees
and
then,
of
course
you
would
have
to
make
a
motion
to
accept
that
as
the
the
new
chairman
and
then
the
vice
chair
also
needs
to
be
selected
from
the
group.
So
something
like
that.
I
don't
want
to
like
say
so.
C
I
like
what
tecla
said.
I
I
think
so,
if
I
understood
him
correctly
and
the
way
I'm
perceiving
it,
the
best
thing
to
do
is
to
let
john
know
if
you'd
like
to
be
considered
for
the
position
and
then
I
guess
we
will
then
decide
at
the
next
meeting,
but
I
I
guess
the
question
I
have
is:
is
it
possible
that
you
end
up
with
five
people
saying
they
want
to
be
part
of
the
chair
and
we
have
to
vote
individually
on
each
one?
Is
that
what
then
is
gonna
happen?.
E
I
wouldn't
I
wouldn't
I
would
just
caution
against
doing
any
other
business.
You
know
not
in
front
of
the
camera
or
you
know
in
public
regarding
any
of
our
selections
here,
just
for
transparency
reasons
to
make
sure
that
we
no
one
says
oh
well,
y'all
are
selecting
it
and
I
didn't
know
anything
about
it.
I
could
attend
it.
So,
let's
do
it
all
in
public,
as
is
what
I'm
suggesting,
I
think,
john.
I
think
you're
right.
I
think
julian
you're
right,
I
think
at
the
next
meeting.
E
There
should
be
a
call
for
for
for
the
committee
members
to
nominate
a
person
or
persons
for
the
the
position
of
chairman
and
then
also
for
vice
chair
and
once
you
make
the
call
and
people
make
motions
to
you
know
to
make
this
person
or
that
person
a
nominee.
Then
the
committee
votes,
just
like
any
any
other
item
that
you
have
you
vote
for
for
that
person
and
then
you
know
see
who
gets
selected
and
then
you
move
on
to
the
next
one.
B
F
H
I
was
just
simply
going
to
reiterate
declaw's
recommendation,
which
I
had
actually
put
on
the
comment
section
where
my
suggestion
was
obviously
doing
everything
public
on
record
and
everyone
nominates,
whoever
they
want.
Whoever
would
like
to
make
a
nomination
and
then
based
on
the
candidates
who
were
nominated.
We
all
come
to
a
vote
and
we
just
vote
on
it
and
for
make
your
own
nomination
for
chair
and
make
a
nomination
for
for
vice
chair.
If
you
have
one.
A
A
There
can
be
additions
to
that
list
for
that
next
and
the
first
thing
that
should
happen
at
the
next
meeting
is
the
action
item
of
approving
the
nominees
for
chair
and
vice
chair.
That
motion
should
carry,
I
hope,
and
then
we
have
a
vote
on
the
chairs
and
vice
chairs,
and
that's
what
I
think
again,
because
this
is
not
an
action
item.
A
It's
a
discussion
item
today
we
can
discuss
and
decide
who
wants
to
be
nominated
or
not,
but
I
don't
think
we
can
actually
nominate
them
officially
until
there's
an
action
item
which
is
the
beginning
of
next
meeting
once
that
carries,
then
we
have
the
vote
and
then
we
have
a
chair
and
vice
chair.
That's
what
I
just.
H
E
I'll
make
a
comment
real,
quick.
I
hear
what
you're
saying
joey
and
I
think
I
think
you're
right,
I
think
you're,
probably
in
the
bounds
of
what
you're
allowed
to
do.
Let's
just
be
careful
that
we're
not
nominating
someone,
because
our
agenda
doesn't
say
that
we're
we're
gonna
nominate
and
have
an
action
item.
A
E
D
B
E
D
Okay,
so
then,
what
I'm
hearing
is
everybody's
agreeing
that
next
meeting
an
official
nomination
will
go
out.
The
person
needs
to
accept
or
decline,
whoever
accepts
if
it's
more
than
one,
the
top
person
will
be
the
chair
and
the
second,
with
the
most
votes
will
be.
The
co-chair.
Am
I
hearing
that
correctly?
Is
that
what
everyone
said?
H
B
A
E
H
Correct
we'll
do
the
nominations
next
meeting
for
right
now.
Just
to
reiterate
the
point
of
agreement
was
nomination
that
way
that
we're
going
to
handle
the
election
will
be
nomination
and
acceptance
of
a
committee
member
and
then
we're
going
to
vote
for
the
nominations
of
a
chairman
and
vote
for
the
nominations
of
a
base
chairman
or
woman.
Sorry.
B
Okay,
so
say:
there's
three
for
say:
there's
three
for
for
for
free
chairman,
so
how
are
we
gonna?
Do
it?
Look?
I've
got
committee
member
one
committee,
member
two
committee
member
three,
so
who
chooses
who
who
votes
raise
your
hand
or
or
say
I
for
committee
member
one
and
then
how
about
for
committee
member
two
and
then
committee
number
three.
Is
that
the
way
you
all
want
you
all
want
for
the
or
the
election
to
take
place?
B
C
B
A
I
think
I
mean
that
was
saying.
No,
I
mean
here's,
here's
what
I
mean.
I
envisioned
this
being
just
like
any
other
election
right
like
at
the
beginning
today.
If
we
want,
for
example,
there's
three
suggestions:
rafa
arturo
and
myra.
Those
are
the
suggestions
I'm
seeing
on
the
chat
if
they
all
accept
officially
at
the
next
meeting.
I
suspect
that
we'll
have
a
nomination
of
them.
They
will
accept
at
the
next
meeting,
there'll,
be
a
motion
to
accept
these
nominations.
We
will
then
have
a
vote
as
a
committee
of
these
three
people.
A
Normally
we
would
do
this.
You
know
all
sitting
in
the
same
room
together,
because
we're
not
doing
that.
I
think
that's
why
julian
is
suggesting
we
do
paper
ballots,
that's
how
we
used
to
do
it.
I
think
whenever
we
were
in
person
together,
I
think
unfortunately
we're
just
gonna
have
to
do
it
on
video
on
chat,
that's
written
but
again,
everybody's
seeing
that
as
well.
So
to
me
it's
601
half
a
dozen
or
the
other.
A
When
you
do
a
vote,
I
don't
think
you
do
candidate
one
candidate,
two
candidate,
three
and
see
where
it
goes
by.
That
seems
a
little
odd
to
me.
It's
just
a
regular
vote
right
like
there's
three
people
on
a
ballot
typically
and
you
either
raise
your
hand
or
you
don't
raise
your
hand
and,
and
then
the
person
with
the
most
vote
twins.
I
think
that's
how
it
supposed
to
work,
but
I
could
be
wrong.
D
We
can
still
do
it
electronically,
like
a
paper
format,
whether
it
be
a
google
docs,
it
could
be
set
up
really
quickly.
You
vote.
We
send
the
link
to
everyone
through
the
chat,
you
click
on
it,
you
vote,
and
then
it
shows
you
a
live
stream
and
I
can
have
that
set
up,
send
it
to
teclo.
He
can
see
the
live,
he
can
share
his
screen
and
automatically
everybody
can
see.
Who
who
got
chair
and
who
got
vice
chair,
same
same
concept,.
D
B
B
D
On
that
note
being
that,
there
is
three
districts
that
are
in
runoff,
there's
a
potential
that
three
of
us
might
not
be
at
the
next
meeting
or
there
might
be
three
vacancies
or
you
know.
So
we
might
be
short.
But
is
there
any
way
in
case
that
there
are
new
committee
members
that
they
might
want
to
table
it?
Because
they
don't
know
anybody?
D
B
D
E
I
mean
if
someone
if
someone
wants
to
table
the
meeting
just
procedurally,
they
can
make
a
motion
to
table
the
meeting.
If
the,
if
no
one
votes
to
to
move
on
that
motion,
then
it
dies
and
you
have
the
election
so
that'll
be
up
to
them
to
make
a
procedural
thing
and
if
it
doesn't
work
it
doesn't
work.
That's
up
to
the
it's
up
to
y'all.
As
a
committee
to
vote,
however,
y'all
want
to
vote
on
that.
A
B
E
B
A
Yeah
arnold
number
one
arnold's
right
and
number
two.
I
think
john
had
a
second
question,
which
is,
I
don't
think
the
new
council
member's
term
starts
january
1st.
I
could
be
wrong,
but
it's
some
other
date
and
our
meeting
I
think,
is
before
that
other
date.
Someone
else
can
confirm
that,
for
me,
like
president,
doesn't
start
till
january
20th
right
so
well,.
E
It's
it's:
whenever
they
have
the
swearing-in
ceremony
they'll
they
have
the
election,
then
they'll
convert
the
votes
and
then
they'll
set
a
date
for
the
swearing
in
and
then
once
they're
sworn
in.
They
become
city
council.
They
start
serving
right
away.
Now
it
depends
on
what
their
personal
agenda
is
on
what
they
want
to
address.
First,
maybe
committee
committees
don't
matter
to
them,
so
maybe
they
wouldn't
address
it
for
several
months
right.
Well,.
A
E
A
B
Yeah,
I
would
just
I
would
have
the
election.
You
know
it's
never
going
to
be.
I
think
the
perfect
world
I
mean
right
now.
We
are
because
we're
you
know,
but
it's
going
to
take
months
before,
if
there's
new
council
person
that
comes
in
and
for
them
to
maybe
substitute
the
the
committee
member,
it
could
take
sometimes
four
or
six
months
I
know
cesar.
You
know
I
think
that
position
was
vacant
for
some
time.
I
believe
you
know
so
I
would
think.
Let's
just
have
the
elections
on
in
january
and.
A

And
then
do
any
of
the
nominees
are.
Are
they
to
address
us?
Do
we
want
them
to
address
us
on
what
their
plan
is?
I
mean,
are
we
even
clear
on
the
chairman
position
and
what
it
all
entails,
approving
agenda
items
is.
Is
there
anything
officially
in
writing?
You
know
why
you
mentioned
the
the
committee
procedures.
Do
you
know
if
there's
anything
that
officially
states
the
responsibilities
of
a
chairman
or
john?
Have
you
been
using
anything
as
a
guideline.
