KEEP LAREDO BEAUTIFUL BOARD OF DIRECTORS 080321

Good
afternoon,
thank
y'all
for
the
invitation.
My
name
is
tony
hartson,
the
manager
of
external
affairs
for
ap
texas
student,
electric
utility.
I
also
serve
on
different
community
projects
most
recently
well,
actually,
for
the
last
three
years,
I've
been
a
board
member
for
keith,
texas,
beautiful
the
state
board
that
works
with
the
affiliates
actually
is.
G
A
D
C
That
would
be
good
if
you
could
just
walk
us
discuss
with
some
of
the
other
board
members
or
work
better,
just
the
things
that
we
kind
of
felt
needed
addressing.
I
think
they
they've
highlighted.
Most
of
them
read
and
did
some
strike
theories,
but
the
key
issues
were
the
meetings
and
the
notices
thereof.
C
F
and
the
bylaws
had
not
been
effectively
looked
at
or
updated
since
about
2008
from
what
I've
been
able
to
find
in
the
archives
of
the
organization,
and
so
it
was
just
basically
an
an
opportunity
for
the
board
to
come
together
and
look
at
what
governs
you
and
then
also
look
at
what
governs
other
boards
committees
and
commissions
and
bring
the
two
into
alignment
as
well
as
just
generally
update.
So
we
did
make
a
few
small
word
changes
where
it
read
directors
as
opposed
to
board.
F
F
B
D
F
F
F
I
mean
everyone
with
the
exception
of
mr
duncan,
who
just
took
his
oath
today
is,
is
may
or
june
of
2020,
so
you
actually
have
a
little
bit
beyond
that
april
timeline.
Just
to
be
very
specific
to
the
question
you
just
asked
about.
Is
it
april
2020
or
what
is
that
date?
That
date
would
correspond
to
the
date
of
bureau
so,
for
instance,
you're
may
15th.
I
remember
that
because
that's
laredo's
founding
day.
D
F
F
Not
necessarily,
I
I
do
believe
it
because
we
have
not
heard
back
from
aida
yet
aydah,
I'm
from
bna
raminas.
Thank
you,
miss
lucy.
I
believe
that
they
are
going
to
be
forfeiting
because
they
haven't
been
responsive
so
upon
their
fourth
absence,
based
on
the
changes
being
approved
in
the
bylaws,
we
can,
you
know
they
forfeit
their
positions
and
that
we
can
go
out
and
well.
It
doesn't
keep
us
from
being
able
to
recruit
other
board
members,
but
I
believe
we're
going
to
lose
two
of
the
current
appointees
to
answer
that
question.
F
C
D
H
F
F
C
A
F
F
F
F
D
B
F
F
A
Center,
the
attorney's
office
that
can
also
be
if
we
were
one
of
us,
were
exposed
or
a
family
member,
but
we
still
want
to
be
part
of
the
meeting.
We
can
still
do
that
video
conference.
It
doesn't
have
to
be
something
that
the
city
says
it's
an
emergency,
it's
like,
if
you
have
a
family
like
an
emergency
as
well,
can
that
yeah.
F
A
A
A
H
F
F
Right
now,
the
rotary
has
received
the
rights
to
air
or
run
a
screening
of
the
story
of
plastic,
and
the
story
of
plastic
was
just
recently
nominated
for
an
emmy
for
their
writing
and
emmy
in
writing,
and
so
we're
real
excited
about
that.
That
would
be
hosted
at
sami.
U
and
klb
would
just
really
be
a
support
piece
to
that,
but
obviously
bringing
attention
to
the
issue
of
plastic
in
our
litter
surveys
that
we've
done
plastic
comes
up
everywhere.
F
There
isn't
a
survey
that
we
haven't
done
where
we
haven't
found
several
different
types
of
plastics:
every
photo
that
I've
taken
of
litter
and
every
photo
that
our
stormwater
crew
has
taken
of
litter.
That
they've
picked
up
all
kinds
of
plastics
are
there.
They
just
sent
me
a
photo
from
cleanups
that
they
did
today
and
yesterday
with
well
really
today,
with
all
of
the
rain
that
came
in
last
night
or
yesterday
afternoon
and
last
night,
all
kinds
of
plastics
were
washed
into
and
clogging
up
the
storm
drains.
F
F
It's
definitely
an
issue
for
us,
so
I
think
the
story
of
plastic
is
very
appropriate
and
we're
very
supportive
of
the
fact
that
it'll
bring
some
awareness
to
that
particular
issue,
not
to
mention
we're
a
contributor
to,
unfortunately
to
the
marine
plastic,
that's
floating
around
in
the
gulf
of
mexico,
because
we
are
up
river
from
brownsville
and
from
the
gulf.
So
everything
that
our
guys
and
our
system
doesn't
catch,
gets
washed
out
to
the
gulf
through
the
river.
So
we're
very
excited
to
be
a
part
of
that.
F
F
Looking
at,
I
believe
the
third
thursday
in
september
is
actually
world
river
day,
and
I
want
to
say
let
me
look
at
the
calendar
really
quick,
so
that
I
can
tell
you
correctly
what
that
yes
september
23rd.
We
believe
so
we'd
like
to
do
the
screening
of
the
movie
either
that
thursday,
friday,
possibly
pushing
into
the
next
week,
depending
on,
what's
happening
at
tamiu
and
the
venue
availability
there.
But
I'm
working
with
dr
patricia
and
she
is
working
on
that
on
that
venue,
reservation
and
tamiu
was
not.
F
They
were
restricted
up
until
this
month
and
their
venues
weren't
available,
so
they
just
came
available
this
month.
So
that's
why
I
don't
have
more
details
for
you,
because
we're
kind
of
waiting
on
this
coveted
timeline
that
they
were
operating
under
and
then
now
with
covet,
changing
I'm
not
sure
how
that's
been
impacted
or
not,
and
then
on
the
25th.
F
I'm
sorry
on
the
26th,
which
is
the
sunday
after
that,
we're
going
to
do
what's
called
an
audit
cleanup
along
las
palmas
trail
down
at
the
river,
so
las
palmas,
if
you're
not
familiar
with
it,
if
you're
looking
at
the
pedestrian
bridge,
which
is
bridge
number
one,
it's
going
to
be
to
the
east
of
that.
So,
if
you're
looking
at
it
to
the
left,
that's
what
I'm
kind
of
going
like
in
my
brain.
F
Direction
and
that's
been
named,
nature
preserved
by
the
city
council,
so
the
city
council
just
recently
took
action
to
create
these
preservation
areas
in
the
city,
especially
along
the
river,
and
that
trail
is
a
very
popular
birding
trail,
but
it's
also
very
popular
with
border
patrol
and,
unfortunately,
illegal
immigration
issues
down
there.
Nonetheless,
we're
gonna
go,
give
it
some
love.
We
want
to
clean
it
up.
F
But
I
don't
think
the
public
knows
it
really
well,
and
they
don't
know
how
to
access
it.
They
don't
know
how
to
get
down
there
and
it
really
is
a
beautiful
place.
It's
absolutely
gorgeous
it
has.
I
think
trisha
was
saying
an
eocene
era,
rock
formation,
where
you
can
see
all
the
layers
of
you
know
thousands
and
thousands
of
years
of
compression
on
one
side
of
it.
F
So
it's
it's
a
really
gorgeous
place
and
it
ends
up
obviously
at
sakata
creek
and
then,
if
you
hike
up
from
there
into
the
city
from
zakat,
that's
also
a
very
beautiful
hike,
so
we're
hoping
to
clean
the
section
between
bridge
number
one
and
psychothe
creek,
and
that's
what
we're
going
to
focus
our
efforts
on
and
do
the
audit
and
so
yeah
I
want
to
bring.
I
want
to
bring
some
attention
to
that,
and
that
would
be
my
one
highlight
for
my
report,
madam
chair.
F
It's
district
y,
okay
and
what's
happening
with
the
rotary
clubs,
I
forgot
to
mention
that
part.
So
thank
you
for
asking
the
question
massey
it's
a
bi-national
effort.
So
on
the
26th,
it's
all
of
the
rotary
clubs
along
the
texas
mexico
border
in
mexico
and
the
u.s
that'll
have
a
project
that
day.
Okay,
so
we're
we're
we're
one.
Ours
is
one
component
of
this
bi-national
effort.
F
That's
happening
all
along
with
rotary,
specific
rotary
international,
all
across
texas,
along
the
border,
we'll
have
something
going
on
at
the
river
or
we'll
have
some
sort
of
cleanup
happening
that
day
that
impacts
the
river.
They
may
not
be
right
on
the
river,
but
they're
going
to
be
having
something
that
impacts
the
river
do.
B
I
know
it
makes
sense.
I
met
a
rotary
club
sponsor,
so
they
work
with
the
regular
hurry.
So
they
do
have
it
but
part
of
the
lesson
not
so
much.
But
that's
you
know
more
of
a
teach
curriculum,
that's
something
that
we
can
maybe
create,
or
you
know,
offer
and
show
according
to
like
the
calendar
right
like
the
riverweight
coming
up
in
september,
and
we.
B
F
If
students
attend
the
movie
screening,
you
can
give
them
community
service
hour
credit
for
attending
the
movie
screening
and
maybe
not
incentivizing
it,
but
they
get
a
little
added
bonus.
You
know
if
they
go
and
they
they're
a
part
of
it.
In
addition
to
the
movie
screening
they'd
also
like
to
do
a
panel
discussion,
we'd
like
to
tell
the
story
of
plastic
and
laredo
and
go
back
and
revisit
the
tracy
knows
it.
F
Well,
the
plastic
reduction
instead
of
council
member
bed
mode,
the
plastic
bag
reduction
ordinance
and
what
happened
with
that
and
the
story
of
that.
So
mr
porter
is
going
to
be
a
part
of
that
panel
and
then
we're
working
together
with
risk
and
rotary
with
cup
to
bring
a
couple
more
people
into
that
panel
and
discuss
it.
F
We
had
initially
thought
we
could
invite
eva
guzman,
who
was
the
concurring
opinion
on
that
supreme
court
decision,
but
she's
running
for
office,
and
it's
not
exactly
the
best
fit
to
have
her
come
in
and
be
a
part
of
that
panel.
So
literally,
I
suggested
her
name
and
a
few
days
later,
I
read
in
the
paper
that
she
was
running.
B
F
Sure
I'm
sure
she
would
say
yes
to
the
invitation,
but
we
don't
want
it
to
be
political.
So
we
want
it
to
be
an
informational
educational
presentation
without
any
any
optics
coming
in
and
sort
of,
ruining
or
or
suggesting
something
other
than
the
sort
of
just
the
intent
of
what
we
want
to
do
with
that.
So.
F
H
D
H
I
F
F
We
had
discussed
some
goals
and
I
want
to
say,
for
I
know
for
sure,
for
the
cleanup
we
were.
Our
goal
was
going
to
be
about
400
volunteers
for
the
cleanup
itself
switching
over
to
the
movie,
I'm
not
exactly
sure.
We
didn't
really
know
what
to
expect
with
that
one
yet,
and
we
wanted
to
see
what
the
venue
was
going
to
be
before
setting
like
a
hard
number,
but
I
know
that
they
wanted
somewhere
close
to
that
number
two
300
to
400,
perhaps
to
attend.
C
C
F
H
H
H
A
H
F
We
can
market
it
to
be
sort
of
this
exclusive
event.
You
know
get
in
here
and
get
get
to
see
this.
You
know
I
mean
now:
emmy
award,
winning
or
emmy
nominated,
I
can't
say,
award
winning
yet
right,
but
emmy
nominated.
You
know
film,
so
so
yeah
we're
excited
to
be
a
part
of
sort
of
the
just
the
you
know
all
these
organizations
working
to
bring
awareness
to
this.
This
very
big
issue
and
at
the
most
recent
conference
from
peacetime,
is
beautiful.
F
B
D
F
A
F
The
amount
of
time,
the
specific
amount
of
time
lost
due
to
coven,
so
just
tracking
down
that
number
of
months
and
then
an
item
to
remove
the
members
that
have
not
been
responsive
so
far
or
in
attendance
to
the
meetings
and
then
an
item
to
amend
the
bylaws
to
allow
for
virtual
meetings
and
meeting
attendance
and
getting
the
language
from
the
city
attorney's
office,
so
that
we
can
take
into
account
several
conditions
that
may
apply
public
health
emergency
and
then
those
impacted
by
any
particular
contagious
disease.
Just
to
not
name
a
disease.
F
H
F
I
would
like
to
offer
some
consideration
for
any
subcommittees
that
we
would
like
to
create
and
then
perhaps
some
strategic
planning
session
consideration
so
a
because
again,
logistically
we
just
started
to
work
together
as
a
group.
But
what
does
the
group
see
as
those
primary
points
that
staff
and
the
organization
itself
need
to
be
working
towards
and
and
starting
to
define
that?
So
those
are
the
things
that
I
would
offer
for.
The
commission's
consideration.
C
A
discussion
about
budget
what
we
anticipate
we're
going
to
be
spending
over
the
next
12
months
and
different
events
that
have
already
been
planned.
I
know
council
pulls
people
right
beautiful
in
ten
thousand
different
directions
and
we
support
a
lot
of
their
efforts
and
so
just
maybe
have
a
really
good
strong
calendar
of
what
is
already
planned
by
some
of
the
council
members.
F
F
C
F
F
B
C
Because
I'm
trying
to
discourage
them
and
have
them
set
it
up
for
2022,
not
2021,
but
he's
got
a
tree
donation
coming
and
he's
got
this
other
one.
That's
pending
we're
already
in
about
60
trees,
he's
probably
gonna
say
well,
let's
just
do
another
250,
all
the
like.
We
did
last
year
or
2019
and
get
people
out
there,
but
let's
go
blame
the
pandemic
and
other
things
with
that.
Yeah.
F
We
had
a
planting
day
at
the
south
laredo
library,
this
saturday
it
was
only
20
volunteers
and
we're
going
to
be
outside.
So
I
did
say
all
of
that.
I
said
it's
a
small
group
we're
going
to
be
outside,
but
I'm
waiting
to
hear
back
a
determination
on
that
and
then
we
had.
We
wanted
to
do
a
back
to
school
cleanup
at
slaughter.
F
We're
also
waiting
on
that
too,
to
see
what
what
management
and
the
health
authority
is
suggesting
at
this
point,
because
our
numbers
just
changed
and
they
obviously
took
a
turn
for
a
little
bit
more
a
little
bit
higher
in
terms
of
those
statistics
and
all
the
different
rates
that
are
tracked
by
the
health
authority.
So
so,
yes,
there's.
Definitely
I'm
still
very
much
consideration
towards
the
pandemic.
At
this
point
before
we
move
on
with
our
our
current,
you
know
events
that
we
had
planned.
So
we
shall
see.
F
F
C
F
F
F
Those
of
you
that
didn't
hear
that
have
the
benefit.
Last
time,
council,
member
valmarez's,
liquid
studio
group,
is
providing
inclined
support
to
keep
florida
beautiful
and
developing
a
website
just
for
keith
loretta
beautiful.
So
we've
been
in
contact
with
his
staff
and
us
and
developing
things.
We
have
a
podcast
that
will
live
and
debut
on
our
website.
F
Lucy
was
on
the
last
podcast,
so
lucy's
debut
in
the
podcast
world,
and
so
we're
going
to
be
producing
a
podcast
monthly,
we'll
probably
be
recording
the
next
one
next
week
and
we're
going
to
pivot
and
do
some
features
on
our
partners.
So
I'd
like
to
partner,
I
love
laredo,
I'd
like
to
partner
with
keep
laredo
sustainable
as
well,
and
you
know
kind
of
just
bring
our
partners
into
this.
These
next
few
podcasts
tammy
you

Trying
to
get
him
like
scheduled,
it's
like
okay,
are
you
in
town
this
weekend?
Are
you
not
and
so
yeah
we
work.
We
work
really
well
with
big
lou,
but
it's
like
catching
that
at
the
right
moment
to
get
him
to
you
know
partner
with
us,
but
we
we
basically
just
kind
of
it's.
It's
just
unspoken
rule.
We
part
our
three
main
partners
on
anything
is
the
writ
of
sustainable.
I
love
laredo
and
people
are
beautiful.
Those
are
the
three
sort
of
trifecta
of
everything
that
we're
doing
locally.
F
This
big
blue
just
has
a
really
great
following
on
social
media.
So
that's
like
a
huge
help.
Whenever
we're
trying
to
get
you
know,
eyeballs
impressions,
people
looking
at
our
at
all
of
our
events
so
and
then
lorito
sustainable,
has
been
branching
out
and
doing
different
things,
so
she's
also
built
sort
of
this.
I
say
she
valerie
gonzalez,
is
her
name
she's
built
this
nice
array
of
different
folks.
Looking
at
what
she's
doing
too
so.
F
Been
very
supportive
of
our
events
too.
I
think
the
last
cleanup
she
came
to
was
our
may.
The
fourth
be
with
you
clean
up
over
at
sac
at
the
creek
and
southern
flags
park.
She
was
there,
so
yeah
she's
been
really
good,
too.
A
really
great
great
synergy
on
social
media
for
sure
dangerous.
It's
hard
with
the
baby.
