LAREDO CENTER FOR URBAN AGRICULTURE 102220 mp4
A
We
have
seven
members
of
our
board,
I'm
going
to
call
to
order
so.
B
A
Okay,
so
I'm
going
to
order
is
october,
the
22nd
202
2020,
so.
A
We
can
start
our
lcis
board
meeting
and
in
our
agenda
we
have
pledge
of
alliance
and
then
we
have
been
skipping
this
item
because
we
are
on
webex
and
I'm
gonna
call
the
role
we
have
guillermo
walls.
J.J
gomez,
john
porter
kirby,
schneider
schneiderman
is
not
here:
roger
garza,
roberto,
gonzalez,
gabriella
fernandez
is
not
here
and
then
we
have
derek
lexi.
A
A
A
C
A
Oh
okay,
actually
guillermo
just
told
me
that
he
doesn't
have
a
minute,
so
we're
gonna
have
to
revise
them
in
the
next
quarter.
A
A
No,
actually,
you
know
what
oh
well,
no,
yes.
Now
I
want
to
talk
to
you
about
two
issues
that
happened
at
the
garden
we
had.
As
you
know,
people
are
coming
in
to
garden
and
we
started
a
couple
of.
A
I
don't
know
like
donations
and
we
are
like
kind
of
putting
out
their
vegetables
and
errors
mostly,
and
we
had
an
incident
with
one
of
our
volunteers
that
a
person
from
the
just
general
public
came
and
said
that
if
this
was
a
community
garden,
they
can
come
in
and
actually
take
whatever
or
just
come
in
and
do
whatever
they
want
like
just
go
inside.
A
So
I
think
this
is
a
issue
that,
as
a
board,
we
need
to
address,
because
it's
not
okay,
to
put
our
volunteers
at
risk
because
of
these
type
of
behaviors.
A
So
I
talked
with
guillermo
and
he
said
that
probably
mr
gomez,
like
always
asking
for
items
from
him,
can
probably
help
us
with
some
information
about
the
idea
of
the
recreational
centers
are
also
funded
by
tax
money,
but
that
doesn't
mean
that
you
can
just
go
and
jump
into
the
pool
right
of
any
of
our
recreational
centers.
Of
any
pool
that
is
owned
by
the
city,
so
how
and
how
can
we
get
some
kind
of
information
out
there
that?
A
Yes,
this
is
a
community
garden,
that
we
are
organizing
an
organization
that
is
a
local
government
corporation
and
that
you
can
become
part
of
the
garden
as
a
member,
but
you
can't
just
enter
the
premise
as
you
wish
or
ask
or
outside
of
hours
of
operation.
So
I
don't
know
if
there's
there's
some
kind
of
signage.
I
think
the
volunteers
were
organizing
themselves
also
to
do
something
like
that,
but
I
think
it
should
come
from
the
city,
something
more
official.
D
Okay,
so
as
you're
as
you're
speaking
about
that
yes
you're
correct,
we
have
some
guidelines
that
we
put
up
in
the
rec
centers
or
pools,
and
I
can
maybe
we
can
follow
those
guidelines
all
right
and
then
maybe,
as
a
committee,
we
can
come
up.
Okay,
let's
add
these
guidelines
that
we
can
post
there
all
right,
I'll
I'll
email,
you
a
sample
of
the
guidelines,
so
we
can
take
a
look
at
it
and
then
come
up
with
a
committee
that
we
as
the
commission's
okay.
D
Let's
put
this
delete
this
or
whatever
number
one
and
then
number
two,
and
we
can
also
put
that
remember
in
order
to
be
to
step
in
the
premises,
you
have
to
do
a
a
volunteer.
You
have
to
do
a
volunteer
form
of
paperwork.
You
get.
You
have
to
get
registered
and
paperwork
with
all
that,
so
that's
kind
of
like
your
membership.
I
guess
you
want
to
call
it.
I
mean
we're
not
calling
anybody
back
from
coming
in,
but
we
have
to
have
some
documentation
as
far
who's
coming
in
who's
coming
out.
D
You
know,
so
we
can
put
that
that
you
know
before
entering
premises.
Make
sure
you
are
registered
with
with
as
a
volunteer,
you
know
we
could
come
up
with
the
phrasing
wording,
how
we
want
to
put
that
so
that
I
think
that
will
help.
I
mean
I
don't
know
what
your
thoughts
are
unless
y'all
have
other
other
suggestions,
I'm
yeah.
C
I
I
think
for
sure
you
know
that
that's
definitely
a
good
start,
the
the
the
other
thing
also,
I
I
think
we
should
probably
check
and
see
what
other
organizations,
maybe
in
other
cities,
how
how
they,
how
what
their
restrictions
are,
because
I
mean
I'm
sure
people
have
them,
because
even
though
it
is
a
community
project,
it's
not
it's,
not
a
hundred
percent
public.
C
I
guess
right
because
we're
kind
of
a
mix
of
both,
but
there
do
have
to
be
rules
and
I'm
sure
somebody
out
there
also
has
a
set
of
rules
that,
even
though
a
garden
that
that
their
their
community
follows.
So
I
think
just
basically,
like
mr
gomez,
says:
let's
see
what
what
we
can
adopt
from
the
city
and
then
let's
see,
what's
what's
already
existing
out
there
and
just
kind
of
cut
and
copy
and
paste
and
and
put
it
together.
C
E
Allow
me
to
yeah.
I
would
like
to
add
something
to
this
conversation.
I
have
been
working
on
a
document
for
the
past
two
weeks.
It's
a
garden
gardener
agreement
and
guidelines
for
our
gardens.
I
don't
know
I
mean
I
have
a
template
ready
for
you
for
your
review
for
a
board
review.
So
I
don't
know
if
you
want
me
to
share
it
right
now
to
share
my
screen
with
you
or
we
can.
We
can
review
it
later.
E
C
I
think
I
I
think,
probably
maybe,
if
you
I
don't
know
how
to
handle
it,
email
it
out.
We're
gonna,
have
to
add
in
the
section
for
executive
director
report
into
the
agenda
so
that
jose
can
present.
E
C
Sorry,
I
I
I'm
sorry,
I
I
see
number
10.
There
is
a
section
that
says:
executive
director
report,
okay,
okay,
so
yeah
that
that's
I
didn't
see
that
at
the
bottom,
so
yeah.
So
you
would
then
present
that
and
in
during
the
executive
director
report,.
A
I
I
just,
I
think
that
in
my
perspective-
and
this
is
what
this
is
just
my
opinion-
I
think
that
we
can
have
whatever
jose
has
right
now
as
a
starting
point
and
then,
if
mr
gomez
can
actually
add
some
from
the
information
that
they
already
have
and
how
things
are
handled
handled
throughout
the
city
right,
we
can
have
both
documents,
so
we
can
merge
and
actually
do
one
document
that
will
actually
become
our
offi,
our
our
unofficial
right
guidelines
right.
A
So
I
think
that
before
we
can
prove
any
document
today,
I
think
that
we
need
more
information
from
mr
gomez,
because
I
I
mean,
I
think
that
it's
important
for
us
to
follow
the
guide
guidelines
also
from
the
city.
Okay,
so
I
think
that
we
need
to
make
a
little
bit
more
research,
but
I
think
this
is
important
and
then
my
other
concern
about
this
item
is
that
I
mean
we
are
being
monitoring
the
facebook
account
and
we
haven't
have
any
haters
but
there's
another
group
on
facebook.
A
We
need
to
also
know
what
are
the
plans
for
the
house
from
the
city,
because,
right
now
we
only
have
the
premise
as
in
the
garden
and
the
carriage
house.
That
is
all
we
are
going
to
have
right
in
our
disability.
A
However,
whatever
function
the
house
has
is
going
to
totally
affect
the
grounds
of
kansas
house
and
how
we're
going
to
actually
interact
with
these
two
and
like
us,
two
entities,
because
again
I
mean
we
run
the
risk
of
people
coming
in
saying:
oh,
it's
open
to
the
public.
I'm
just
gonna
take
the
tomatoes
that
are
here
right.
A
So
I
think
that
that
is
another
important
piece
for
consideration,
and
I
don't
know,
mr
gomez,
if
you
have
any
more
information
about
what's
happening
with
the
house.
Anything
like
that.
D
Okay,
on
my
end,
what
I
do
know
that
the
last
I
heard
not
this,
not
this
city
council
previous
to
that
one,
we
were
going
to
try
and
put
it
in,
but
I
know
it's
it's
with
it.
It's
at
the
legal
department
to
be
honest,
that's
where
it's
at
right
now,
okay,
mr
eats
as
well,
send
it
to
legal
to
review
the
documents.
D
I
will
definitely
email
again
to
ask
where
this
what
the
status
is,
but
it's
it's
it's
it's
right!
It's
it's
there!
It's
there
at
the
at
the
legal
department,
because
I
know
they
want
to
review
it.
I
I
I
totally
agree
with
you
because
now
when
what's
the
future
of
the
second
house,
it's
going
to
happen
and
then
now
we're
going
to
have,
you
know
a
lot
of
a
lot
of
people
going
in
there
and
two
different
different
entities
entering
in
there.
D
G
Hello,
I
I
heard
my
name
I
was
on.
I
was
on
a
call
sorry.
A
D
Okay,
oh
yeah,
I'm
sorry
this
is
jj
john.
I
was
just
giving
you
an
update
about
the
contract.
The
last
guy
told
us
was
illegal
unless
you've
heard
something
other
different
and
and
then
the
direction
of
the
of
the
actual
house.
What
what
what's
the
state
looking
at,
but
maybe
you've
heard
something
other
than
I
haven't.
A
Do
you
know
that
or
any
of
you
do
you
know
any
anything
about
like
any
conversations
happening,
because
that's
the
thing
I
mean
whatever
it's
gonna
happen
with
the
house.
I
think
we
need
to
be
included
in
those
conversations
and
the
other
thing
is
I'm
not
sure.
If
martinez,
who
is
our
council
member
right
now,
do
you
know
john.
B
G
He's
yeah
he's
not
going
to
be
up
for
election
until
2022.
G
But
but
I
guess
I
can
tell
the
group
this:
we
we
did
look
at
the
carriage
house
and
and
there's
some
well
there's
a
roof
issue
there.
The
roof
leaks.
A
G
So
I
don't
know
jj
did
we
ever
get
a
cost
estimate
from
public
works.
D
Yes,
well,
we
haven't
got
the
actual
number
about,
but
they
did
go
over
there
john
and
to
go
check
it
out
and
I'm
waiting
for
the
money
amount
so
that
we
can
see.
So
we
can
get
a
dollar
box
to
see
how
much
it
will
cost
us
to
fix
it
because
it
it's
not
just
a
leak.
It's
just
it's
a
pretty
bad.
It's
a
bad.
F
A
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
That
was
background.
Noise.
I'm
sorry,
okay!
Yes,
I
think
that
that
is
important,
that
we
actually
have
some
kind
of
meeting
with
the
councilman,
so
we
kind
like
we
we
just
know
and
follow
up
with.
What's
going
to
happen
with
the
house.
G
Yeah
and
and
we'll
we'll
start
that
conversation
internally
with
with
staff
to
meet
with
the
councilman
but
yeah.
Let
we
we
just
need
to
get
the
the
dollar
amount
on
what
what
needs
to
be
repaired
for
that
for
the
carriage
house,
the.
G
Right
right
because
yeah,
if
it's,
if
it's
well,
if
it's
a
million
dollar
repair,
I
can
tell
you
right
now:
it's
not
going
to
be
done,
but
yeah.
So
we
have
public
works
looking
at
it,
and
so
they
can
give
us
a
rough
estimate
of
what
it's
going
to
cost.
And
then
we
can
go
talk
to
the
council
member
to
see
if
he
has
discretionary
funds
to
cover
that
and
and
if
he
says
yes,
then
then
we
can
put
it
out
for
bids
and
and
have
it
fixed.
D
Okay,
that's
correct.
You
wanted
to
see
what
dollar
amount
would
it
cost
to.
So
that's
why
I'm
working
on
public
works
as
soon
as
we
get
off
this
meeting
I'll
I'll,
follow
up
on
that,
so
we
can
have
a
price
to
give
them
a
price
and
tell
them
there's
something.
This
is
a
dollar
amount
councilman,
and
if
you
want
to
help
us,
you
know
you
want
to
help
out,
but,
as
mr
monroe
can
tell
you
it
is,
it
is
well
damaged.
That's
a
it
needs
a
lot
of
work.
A
And
then
I
I
know-
and
this
is
I'm
just
throwing
this
out
here-
because
I
really
have
no
idea
in
terms
of
the
legalities
of
this,
but
as
a
local
corporate
as
a
local.
A
Local
government
corporation,
we
can
actually
have
bones
and
things
like
those
that
are
part
of
like
cd
functioning.
A
So
I
mean
I
really
don't
know
how
this
works,
but
I
know
that
if
you
have,
for
example,
the
school
district
actually
did
this
about
a
bond
that
taxpayers
will
approve
and
then
once
they
approve
they
can
do
some
kind
of
repair
or
some
kind
of
enhancement
or
expansion
of
any
of
the
of
their
facilities.
A
G
So
yes,
yes,
we
could.
But
the
problem
is
we're
not
taxing
entities,
so
we
have
nothing
to
back
up
our
bond
with
unless,
unless
the
banks
will
take
cucumbers
and
onions,
we
have
to
have
it
secured
by
some
sort
of
revenue,
and
so
if,
if
we
get
a
revenue
source
in
the
future
and
hopefully
in
the
near
future,
then
yes
we
we
could.
We
could
sell
a
bond
for
improvements
but
yeah.
We
have
to
have
something
securing
that
bond.
A
D
Madam
chair,
before
you
go
on
to
the
next
item,
let
me
just
back
up
a
little
bit
on
the
about
the
guidelines
and
the
rules
that
we
want
to
come
up
with.
Once
we
come
up
with
the
rules.
What
we
do
is
we
do
two
things
I
got
to
send
it
to
our
legal
department,
make
sure
everything
is
recovered
and
then
we
got
to
send
it
to
risk
arrest,
department,
okay,
so
that
way,
so
the
sooner
we
get
this
the
better,
because
that
will
get
all
the
red
tape
that
we
have
to
go
through.
D
A
That's
the
other
issue
that
we
have
in
terms
of
rules
and
regulations.
I
have
another
item
in
that
regard,
so
there's
been
a
discussion
from
the
volunteers
and
the
people
that
are
actually
working
in
the
gardens
that
they
want
to
become
like
some
kind
of
members
or
organized
people
by
organized
entity,
because
actually
they
are
in
the
gardens
working
right.
So
we
discuss
about
a
membership
and
also
we
need
to
go
back
to
our
main
goal,
which
is
to
have
a
local
and
just
food
system.
A
A
A
So
we
have
a
core
group
of
volunteers
that
have
been
working
at
the
garden
for
months
and
years
now,
and
then
we
have,
for
example,
during
the
pandemic.
One
veteran
asking
for
permission
to
use
the
plot
and
that's
fine.
We
gave
the
permission
right,
but
now
we
are
in
a
pickle
because
we
want
to
regain
control
of
the
whole.
A
A
Mr
lopez,
we
told
mr
lopez
now
I
mean
we're
going
to
be
organizing
a
different
way.
Now
is
not
we
have
different
plots
now
we
all
as
a
group
we're
going
to
to
identify
the
plots
and
we're
just
going
to
work
together
right,
and
it
has
been
an
issue
of
back
and
forth
between
us
or
lcis
or
jose,
as
our
executive
director
and
mr
lopez
right
so.
D
A
H
Well,
well,
I
think
one
of
the
things
jose
was
coming
up
with
with
the
rules
and
regulations
is
just
the
standard
procedure
for
how
this
operates
so
that
should
be
covered
in
and
then
with
with.
You
know,
some
of
the
other
members
that
are
hearing
the
word
membership
for
the
board,
members
that
are
hearing
the
word
membership
for
the
first
time.
What
our
idea
was
is
for
everybody
who
becomes
a
volunteer
to
essentially
be
a
member
and
to
pay
a
membership
fee
that
lasts
for
the
year.
H
You
know
nominal
fee
that
could
go
toward
various.
You
know
just
things
for
the
garden,
but
would
also
just
invite
like
a
sense
of
ownership
and
commitment
to
the
garden
and
just
make
it
more
of
an
organized.
You
know
just
kind
of
tighten
up
every
every
portion
of
the
the
volunteer
experience.
H
So
I
guess
marcella's
question
would
be
what
you
know.
Maybe
this
is
for
you
bobby
is
is,
can
we
you
know?
Do
we
have
that
capability
as
an
organization
to
charge
a
membership
fee,
and
then
how
would
what
would
that
process?
Look
like.
C
Well,
we
we
one
of
the
things
at
the
beginning
was
we
we
had,
I
know,
floated
the
idea
of
of
getting
members
so
that
wasn't
that
the
the
only
thing
is
we
never
really
talked
about.
What
does
the
membership
get
you?
You
know
one
point.
We
said
a
membership
could
get
you.
You
know
a
donation
of
a
bag
of
groceries
or
a
box
of
groceries
a
month.
You
know
stuff
like
that,
but
no
we
we
never.
C
We
haven't.
There
were
other
pressing
things.
I
think
that
we
needed
to
get
the
garden
moving
and
everything
and
and
and
so
that
hasn't
come
up
again,
so
if
there
were
to
be
a
membership,
what
does
that
look
like
you
know?
What
do
you
pay
and
then
what
do
you
get
for
your
membership?
C
All
of
that
would
need
to
be
a
discussion.
I
would
probably
have
to
put
that
on
an
agenda.
I
don't
know
yeah.
H
That
could
be
pretty
simple.
I
mean,
like
mellie,
just
had
a
bunch
of
t-shirts
made
right
for
the
last
couple
of
weekends.
We've
been
wearing
the
same
color
t-shirts
which
looks
really
cool
right,
but
like
a
member
could
get
t-shirts
and
a
shovel,
and
you
know
some
kind
of
gardening
tool,
and
I
don't
know
we
could.
We
could
definitely
brainstorm
on
that
stuff
and
the
their
membership
fees
could
also
go
toward
well
or
we
could.
H
We
could
have
you
know
like
our
farmer's
market
or
if
we,
whatever
donations,
we
get,
it
could
go
into
a
pool
to
cover
membership
fees
of
people
that
can't
afford
to
pay
for
that
as
as
well,
but
it's
it's
all.
The
membership
fee
is
to
go
towards
the
fund.
So
it's
like
yeah,
you
get
something,
but
the
the
understanding
is.
H
It's
also
going
towards
the
fund
for
seeds
and
compost
and
things
that
come
back
in
the
form
of
food,
so
you're,
essentially
paying
a
membership
and
the
the
primary
thing
you're
getting
in
return
is
to
be
a
part
of
to
be
a
part
of
part
of
a
food
program,
because
you
know
sometimes
one
of
the
one
of
the
arguments
is
it's
like.
H
You
have
this
community
garden,
and
then
you
have
people
that
are
only
coming
at
harvest
wanting
to
take
food
or
other
people
that
may
think
well,
it's
the
food
is
like
like
for
the
for
the
people
in
the
community
that
don't
have
access
to
to
secure
food,
not
for
the
volunteers.
H
You
know
who
who
have
like
who
are
eating
all
of
the
food
right
so
like
we're,
we're
using
money
donated
from
grants
and
then
farming
the
food
and
then
eating
all
the
food
right.
So
it's
like
we're
doing
it
for
ourselves.
So
the
membership
program
is
really
about
us
paying
for
the
food
that
we're
eating.
H
You
know,
even
though
it's
just
a
small
small
fee,
but
but
also
just
introducing
that
sustainable
component
of
volunteer
serve
and
then
come
back
into
the
community.
C
Okay,
well,
madam
chair,
I
don't
know
if
you
want
to
or
if
you
can
create.
Maybe
we
create
a
a
small
committee
to
to
come
up
with
a
membership
plan
or
a
couple
of
membership
plans
to
to
to
explore
and
come
up
with
a
couple
of
membership
plans
to
present
at
the
next
board
meeting
for
review
and
and
possible
approval.
A
Right
and
actually
I
think
it
would
be
a
good
idea
to
have
a
small
committee
also
for
rules
and
regulations,
so
in
that
committee,
for
rules
and
regulations
we
can
have
rules
and
regulations
for
the
garden
and
then
membership
plan.
So
all
of
lots
of
regulations
can
be
discussed
with
within
these
small
subcommittees.
A
If
you
are
okay,
excuse
me,
would
you
mind?
Can
I
make
a
comment.
B
A
Is
this
morgan,
morgan,
morgan,
yeah,
sorry,
morgan!
Right
now
you
can't
talk
because
you
are
a
now:
it's
a
silent
partner.
Only
board
members
can
talk
at
this
time,
but
I
mean
you
can
send
us
comments.
Maybe
the
chat
I
don't
know
all.
A
A
H
C
Think
that's
the
the
I
think
it's
formatted.
That
way
for
a
reason
I
mean
the
meetings
are
public
meetings
are,
are
set
that
way
for
for
a
reason,
so
that
if
there
are
issues
that
the
public
needs
to
come
up,
I
I
think
they
do
that.
First,
for
a
reason
I
know
I
I
I
think
it's
it's
because
then
I
don't
think
the
meetings
would
they
could
last
almost
indefinitely.
G
May
I
make
a
comment:
it's
john
yes,
I
mean
one
of
us
can
make
a
motion.
We
can
always
reopen
public
comments.
I
don't
think
that's
an
issue
if
the
board
wants
to
do
that,
but
but
I
I
do
like
the
idea
of
the
membership-
and
I
also
wanted
to
mention
for
jose
keep
the
rate
of
beautiful,
has
been
been
very
good
at
getting
donations
from
home
depot
and
lowe's
and
heb,
and
it's
really
just
a
matter
of
calling
the
corporate
office,
and
I
I
can
get
some
contacts
for
you.
G
Generally,
it's
not
a
cash
donation
they
like
to
give
they.
They
basically
give
us
a
a
a
gift
card,
but
you
know
it's
it's
fairly
substantial.
You
know
a
couple
thousand
dollars,
and-
and
so
I
can
get
you
those
contacts,
but
I
think
we
need
to
also
go
after
the
local
corporations
to
see
if
they
will
donate
to
the
organization.
I
To
come
in
real
quick
for
what
what
happened
with
morgan
right
now,
maybe
we
can
create
a
discuss
some
channel
where
we
can
get
insight
and
feedback
from
the
community
actively
for
jose.
But
I
would
leave
that
up
to
josefi
if
he
wanted
that
and
where
he
would
want
that.
I
No,
no!
No,
not
in
this
forum,
I
mean
outside
of
this
forum
out
of
this
outside
of
meetings.
A
Oh
okay,
so
I
think
that
this
is
important
because,
okay,
this
is
in
my
head.
How
things
should
work?
We
have
the
volunteer
representatives,
they
go
back
to
the
volunteers
or
members
or
whatever.
We
want
to
call
them
members
at
this
point
and
then
they
discuss
whatever
we
discuss
in
this
meeting
they
and
then
they
bring
comments
back
from
our
members.
A
That's
what
I
believe
should
work,
but
I
mean
we
can
guillermo
you,
you
are
music.
Did
you
want
to
talk.
J
J
H
Yeah
great
well
I'd
love
to
hear
what
morgan
has
to
say.
A
I'm
going
to
close
my
item,
so
the
conclusion
is
that
we
need
to
form
a
small
committee
for
rules
and
regulations,
because
there
were
two
items
that
I
brought
to
this
this
meeting,
one
we
have
to
identify
and
regulate
who
how,
when
enters
into
the
gardens
right,
that's
number
one
number
two:
we
need
to
regulate
what
are
some
of
the
procedures
for
membership
and
what
does
that
mean
for
our
members
right?
What
are
the
rights?
What
are
their
privileges?
What
are
their
responsibilities,
so
we
need
to
regulate
that
as
well.
A
So
there
was
so
motion
to
form
a
subcommittee
and
I
need
volunteers
from
our
board
of
directors.
We
have
bobby
part
of
the
committee
who
else
and
derek,
and
I'm
assuming
or
the
volunteer.
I
am
I'm
assuming.
The
volunteer
representative
will
be
part
of
that
subcommittee.
A
H
Yeah,
I
would
imagine
as
many
volunteers
as
as
like
do
you
have
to
be
part
of
the
board
to
be
on
the
committee.
I
mean
that
should
be
a
that.
That
should
be
any
a
membership
privilege,
a
democracy,
membership
privilege
right.
A
A
I
think
we
need
to
say
1
2
five,
twenty
five
right,
so
I
will
I
will
suggest
this
is
just
a
suggestion
that
two
representatives
from
the
volunteers,
including
our
volunteer
representative
officially
for
the
board,
will
be
part
of
this
subcommittee,
because
we
have,
I
mean
other
members
that
have
from
the
board.
That
will
also
be
part
of
this
conversation.
A
C
H
And
and
we're
also
right:
where
is
it
on
the
sorry?
Is
it
on
the
agenda
discussing
the
what
we
talked
about
the
addition
of
more
volunteers
to
the
to
the
board.
H
A
H
C
J
Okay
for
secretary's
report,
it's
short
and
it's
sweet.
When
we
started
this
committee
or
when
we
started
this
organization
last
year
we
sent
out
the
I
guess,
the
link,
so
everybody
could
go
and
go
through
the
texas
open
meetings
act,
trainings,
I'm
going
to
send
them
out
again,
probably
tomorrow.
J
J
Furthermore,
I
am
I
kind
of
want
to
suggest
that
every
time
we
do
something
like
this,
whether
especially
when
it
as
it
re,
applies
to
the
membership
that
we
get
a
set
of
questions
or
we
set
of
items
and
we
submit
them
to
legal
so
that
our
legal
department
here
in
the
city
can
kind
of
verify
that
we're
not
going
to
go
into
any
any
trouble.
If
we
start
requesting,
I
guess
a
fee
for
membership
for
our
organization.
J
That's
going
to
be
additional
work
for
bobby,
because
he's
going
to
have
to
talk
to
an
accountant
and
figure
out
how
we're
going
to
have
to
pay
tax.
On
income
that
we
receive
so
just
to
keep
that,
in
the
back
of
your
all's,
mind.
A
Right
and
actually
priscilla
mentioned
that,
like
she
already
has
a
contact,
the
the
person
that
will
be
in
charge
of
our
taxes
or
our
yeah,
like
our
annual.
A
Yeah
and
priscilla
is
not
here
right
now,
but
she
told
me
that
she
already
identified
an
accountable,
but
yes,
I
think
it's
important
that
we
think
about
those
sciences
and
then
everything
like
all
these
rules
regulations
have
to
go
through
legal
and
risk
management.
Like
mr
gomez
said
so,
everybody
needs
to
be
on
that.
Also
aware
of
that.
A
And
then
we
need
a
treasurer's
report
bobby.
C
Okay,
let's
see
up
to
date
up
to
date,
we
have
had
a
total
of
111
and
55
cents
in
donations,
and
we
have
spent
457.45
on
seeds
and
plants
and
and
contract
fulfillments,
which
at
this
point
has
been
jose.
C
It's
been
total
of
seven
thousand
six
hundred
ninety
two
dollars
and
thirty
two
cents,
and
as
of
now,
our
our
bank
account
stands
at
a
hundred
and
fifteen
thousand
eight
hundred
and
nineteen
dollars
and
ninety
two
cents,
and
that
is
what
I
have
today
and
I
did
want
to
ask
about
the
the
accountant,
because
I
had
spoken
to
somebody
that
that
I
knew
and
and
at
first
he
said,
we
need
to
go
with
a
non-profit
somebody
who
handles
non-profits.
C
But
then
I
realized
we're
not
a
non-profit,
so
yeah
we
are
gonna
need,
I
think,
an
accountant.
And
so
I
was
gonna
see
if
anybody
have
any
suggestions
so
who
I
would
contact
priscilla.
She
has
the
name
of
somebody.
C
C
H
So
one
of
the
things
that
we
talked
about
with
with
all
of
the
volunteers
recently
is,
is
having
more
volunteer
representation
in
the
meetings,
just
so
there's
a
bigger
sense
of
of
what's
happening
at
the
gardens
and
and
what
needs
to
happen
moving
forward.
H
So
we
talked
about
just
opening
up
some
seats,
I
don't
know
is,
is
our?
Is
the
max
12.
H
What's
the
max,
is
there
a
maximum
number
of
board
members
allowed
for
for.
J
A
C
The
purpose
of
having
more
volunteers
on
the
board
derrick
is.
H
Yeah
is
that
is
that
you
know
90
of
what
happens
through
lcuas
happens
at
the
gardens
and
it's
in
the
vision
of
of
the
volunteers,
the
members.
So
you
know
a
lot
of
times
when
we,
when
we
have
these
meetings,
certain
things
may
not
get
voiced
or
can
be
overlooked.
H
So,
and
I
know
we
have,
I
mean
we
have
certain
members
of
this
board
that
I
still
haven't
even
met
or
seen.
You
know,
I
don't
even
know
who
they
are
so
the
it
doesn't
feel.
I
think
we
all
get
the
sense
that
it
just
doesn't
feel
like
the
the
board
is
necessarily
representing
the
garden
entirely
and
we
could
fix
that
somewhat
by
having
more
volunteers.
C
So
the
maybe
an
option
is
to
do
the
an
advisory
board,
because
I
know
sometimes
the
advisory
boards
are
created
where
the
either
the
executive
director
or
maybe
maybe
a
board
member
sets
up
a
meeting
on
the
side
with
with
a
specific
advisory
board
to
go
over
something
like
that.
I
I
don't
know
if
that's
a
possibility
in
our
case
or
not,
so
that
would
be
like
a
meeting
that
happens
outside
and
then
that
information
is
brought
into
the
normal
board
meeting
and
part
of
a
report.
J
I
just
want
to
say
that
I
just
pulled
up
the
the
combined
articles
and
section
6.0
says
all
powers
of
corporation
shall
be
vested
in
a
board
of
directors
consisting
of
11
directors.
So,
yes,
the
answer
is
11.
and
that's
the
health
department
representative,
myself
parks
and
leisure
jj,
environmental,
john
planning
and
zoning
kirby
economic
development.
That's
roger
sustainable
restaurant
tour,
bobby
private
sector
food
system
representative,
which
we
converted
to
you,
derek
urban
livestock.
J
Right,
correct
and
then
farmers
market,
which
is
priscilla,
then
ceci
as
the
happy
culturalist
and
marcella
as
the
academic.
So
we
do
have
11
and
they
are
all
filled.
H
Okay,
well,
next
next
comes
the
you
know,
one
of
the
reasons
that
this
came
up.
I
don't
know
if
everybody
on
the
board
may
be
news,
but
last
meeting
a
couple
of
people
volunteered
me
to
replace
marcella,
and
I
declined
that
invitation
only
because
I
knew
that
I
was
possibly
going
to
be
moving,
which
it
looks
like
I
am
going
to
be
moving
and
departing.
H
So
I'm
going
to
be
departing
my
chair
on
the
board
and
that's
where
this
idea
of
maybe
bringing
in
two
more
volunteers
to
with
my
departure,
but
if
it
could
only
be
one,
then
I'd
like
to
spend
the
next
few
minutes
with
the
volunteers
that
are
opening
up
the
conversation.
If
that's
allowed
to
to
comments
from
them
and
and
a
vote
in.
If
somebody,
if
it's
only
one
one
chair,
that's
being
filled
to
see
who
wants
to
fill
that
chair
and
then
we
could
vote
that
person
in.
H
C
J
Yeah
so,
according
to
the
to
the
bylaws
that
a
director
which
would
be
one
of
us,
may
be
removed
at
any
time
so
derek
whenever
you're
ready.
You
know
you
just
officially
tell
us
and
then
that
would
be
it
and
then
but
bobby
is
right.
So
whoever
would
think
he
would
have
to
be
voted
in.
D
Madam
chair,
if
can
I
interrupt
a
little
bit?
Yes,
I
have
a
12
o'clock
meeting
that
I
have
to
start
with
the
mexican
with
the
max
mendo
committee
meeting
it
they
also
meet
the
same
day.
We
meet.
We
meet
at
12.,
so
if
you
have
any
other
concerns
get
let
mr
walls
know
he
calls
me.
We
talk
very
often
and
let
us
know
what
we
can
do.
I
already
got.
D
I
already
made
the
notations
as
far
as
the
guidelines
follow
up
on
the
contract,
we'll
see
to
see
where
we
stay
and
get
somewhere
get
and
come
up
with
the
pricing.
What
price
we
get
for
the
carriage
house
is
that
correct
anything
else?
Will
you
please
let
mr
walls
know
and
he'll
give
me
the
message
if
that's
okay,
if
that's
okay,.
A
Yes,
I
will,
I
think
I
will
we
have
to
start
doing
a
couple
of
committees.
We
need
to
start
thinking
about
our
goals
and
how
this
board
is
actually
help
us
fulfill
the
goal.
So
I
mean
I
would
like
to
talk
about
that.
We
don't
have
enough
time,
it's
just
one
hour.
What
I
can
do
is
I
can
send
a
document
out,
so
each
member
of
the
board
will
actually
identify
where
they
can
and
will
be
willing
to
participate
in
a
in
a
committee.
A
So
we're
going
to
start
moving
forward
in
terms
of
identifying
goals
and
objectives
for
each
of
us
is
that
okay,
so
is
that,
okay
with
everybody.
H
H
For
the
agenda
concludes
that
I'd
like
to
open
up
morgan
for
your
comment
that
you
were
gonna
make
earlier
sure
it's
it
sounds.
I
can
tell
it's
genius.
So
if
you
could
care
that
would
be
amazing.
C
Should
we
make
a
motion
or
marcella,
you
want
to
make
your
quest.
C
A
B
Morgan,
thank
you
guys
so
much.
I
really
do
appreciate
that.
No,
I
was
going
to
mention
that
as
we
work
on
or
as
you
guys
work
on
the
membership,
we
could
possibly
use
that
as
we
can
show
that
we
have
consistent
income
to
back
a
bond.
Like
mr
porter
said
earlier,
you
know
we
cannot
only
include
individual
memberships.
We
can
also
do
business
memberships,
so
you
know
the
local
business
wants
to
become
a
member
of
the
community
garden
and
you
know
either
we
can
host
once
restrictions
are
lifted.
B
Maybe
even
host
people
coming
over
and
and
enjoying
the
outdoors,
but
the
membership
funds
might
be
able
to
provide
proof
of
income
to
allow
for
bonds
in
the
future.
That
was
my
only
comment
again.
Thank
you.
A
A
H
We
could
call
it
we,
I
mean
we
could
call
it
whatever.
We
want
to
call
it
a
corporate
membership
or
something
one
of
the
things
that
we
liked
about
membership
instead
of
volume
volunteer
it
just
it
just
took
on
ownership
kind.
C
H
Took
on
ownership
and
and
more
participation
and
and
gave
it
more
of
a
community
type
feel
whereas
like
sponsorship,
it
means
like
what
are
you
trying
to
sell
me?
You
know
they're
doing
it
as
a
as
a
trade.
You
know
and
volunteer
sounds
like
it's
punishment
or
a
speeding
ticket,
or
something
like
that.
You
know.
A
That's
another
item
that
we
need
to
open
for
discussion
at
some
point
that
we
can.
I
mean
we
need
at
least
20
people
working
on
the
card
and
then
a
rough
estimate
from
what
I've
my
experience
with
our
own
garden
here
at
tamiu,
and
the
experience
that
I
have
with
canseco
volunteers,
experience
that
I
have
with
gsi.
I
think
that
we
need
at
least
a
minimum
of
20
volunteers
for
that
garbage
to
actually
be
all
up
and
running.
A
So
I
was
jose
and
I
we
we've
been
looking
at
different
kind
of
websites
throughout
the
country
and
looking
at
what
do
they
do
in
terms
of
having
members
community
gardens
all
of
these,
so
one
of
the
one
in
particular,
we
found
a
farm
in
los
angeles
that
they've
been
working
with
people
that
was
incarcerated
at
some
point
and
they
give
this
facility
is
a
way
of
actually
kind
of
like
rehabilitate
people
that
were
incarcerated.
A
I
think
that
we
at
this
point
we
are
not
there
yet.
I
think
that
I
don't
know
if
all
the
members
I'm
just
having
like
our
regular
members,
will
feel
comfortable
with
this.
But
what
we
can
do
is
like
very
like
a
speed
ticket
people
that
are
like
that
have
to
complete
x
number,
because
that's
the
other
thing.
It's
not
a
one
time
event
that
you
have
to
volunteer
at
canseco,
because
if
you
come
one
day
and
you
plant
25
tomato
plants,
who's
gonna
take
care
of
that
right.
A
So
we
need
a
long
period
of
time
of
commitment
where
people
actually
can
plant
the
the
little
seed
and
then
have
it
look
at
it
grow
and
then
take
care
until
we
can
harvest
and
then
clean
the
plot
right.
It's
a
long-term
commitment,
so
people
that
actually
have
speeding
tickets,
people
that
have,
I
don't
know
like
minor
offenses.
A
A
They
have
to
do
xyz.
So
that's
another
way
to
have
activity
to
have
the
the
garden
up
and
running
and
then
have,
of
course,
our
core
group
of
volunteers
taking
care
of
whatever
they
want
on
saturdays,
but
during
the
week
we
can
have
another
type
of
a
group
of
people
actually
coming
and
working
at
the
garden.
H
H
So
I
I
think,
while
I
see
the
value
in
in
your
idea,
I
don't
feel
like
we're
at
that
point.
Yet,
and
we'd
get
a
lot
more
value
from
recruiting
members
that
want
to
be
there
not
that
have
to
be
there.
I'm
reminded
of
the
experience
with
the
students
from
tamiu
with
you
know:
we'd
have
40
people
at
the
garden
and
30
of
them
are
standing
around
and
when
you're,
you
know,
when
you
have
no
passion
for
for
being
there.
H
H
All
of
this
is
without
a
campaign,
and
one
of
the
things
jose
talked
about
was
having
a
banner
made
that
we
put
on
the
on
the
chihuahua
fence
line
that
that
just
you
know
just
says
who
we
are
lcuas
and
maybe,
like
members,
members
needed
inquire
within
or
whatever
and
something
on
on
facebook.
H
Perhaps
even
you
know
a
sponsored
ad
or
something
like
that,
but
there's
so
much
that
we
have
yet
to
do
to
recruit
members
that
I
think
once
we
start
doing,
that,
we'll
get
high
quality
members
and
it's
that
type
of
campaign,
and
then
we
could
even
open
up.
There
could
be
a
campaign
manager,
somebody
a
member
who's
in
charge
of
that,
but
it's
that
that's
going
to
get
us
to
be
able
to
open
up
other
gardens
and
and
have
people
for
or
gardens
on.
You
know
on
the
north
side
and
west
side,
etc.
H
A
H
A
H
That
will
be
so
much
easier,
so
maybe
maybe
we
can
come
up
for
the
next
meeting
with
a
campaign
approach
and
maybe
even
a
small
budget
for
that
yeah,
especially
if
we're
charging
a
membership
fee,
let's
say
at
50,
then
we
could
put
a
campaign
out
and
pay
for
some
ads
on
facebook
and
instagram
that
is
just
to
you
know.
We
get
a
good
return
on
investment.
A
We
do
have
some
money
in
our
budget
right.
We
have
a
money
in
our
budget
for
for
marketing,
so
we
need
to
just
make
the
the
call
like
this
is
how
much
money
like
jose
needs
to
come
up
with
a
plan.
Maybe-
or
I
don't
know
if
we
want
a
top
committee
to
help.
Okay
with
that
as
well
and
say:
okay,
this
is
how
much
money
we're
gonna
spend
on
marketing.
C
Yeah,
we
do
have
some
money
in
in
our
budget
set
aside,
for
that.
I
don't
know
off
the
top
of
my
head.
How
much
that
is!
I'd
have
to
pull
it
up,
but
we
do
have
some.
C
I
don't
I'm
gonna
have
to
leave
soon,
but
I'm
I'm
anxious
to
hear.
H
B
H
Or
if
it's
a
monthly,
you
know,
maybe
it's
a
10
monthly
or
whatever
you
know,
or
you
could
do
you
have
options
whatever,
but
but
that
could
be
done
in
in
jose.
We
could.
Maybe
ruby
can
help
us
with
this,
but
we
could
come
up
with
pre-planned
posts,
pictures
with
posts
that
that
go
out
on
we'll
get
this
instagram
up
and
running
facebook,
the
facebook
page
up
and
running
where
it's
posting
things
daily,
and
it's
constantly
inviting
people
to
the
garden
directing
funneling
them
to
the
website.
H
A
A
I
Yeah
I'd
love
to
help
him
set
an
appropriate
budget
so
that
we
can
extend
that
over
the
lifetime
of
it,
and
you
know,
like,
like
derek,
was
saying
any
any
more
funds
that
we
can
get
we'll
reallocate
on
there
if
possible,
but
for
now
we'll
do
something
modest
just
to
get
it
going,
maybe
even
a
kind
of
recruitment
event,
but
I'll
go
over
those
details
with
jose.
I
know
we're
trying
to
wrap
up
the
meeting.
I'd
love
to
work
with
him
in
in
any
way
to
help
with
the
effort
perfect
and
bobby.
C
E
E
Screen.
Okay,
I
have
a
summary
of
activities
for
the
past
month.
We
have
well
like
derek,
was
mentioning.
We
have
a
facebook
campaign
ongoing
campaign
where
we
are
posting
around
six
six
stories
a
week,
probably
one
every
two
days.
We
are,
I
mean
we.
E
E
Okay,
okay,
then,
in
terms
of
garden
maintenance,
we
have
been
working
very
hard
volunteers
in
working
very
hard
and
parks.
People.
Also,
thanks
to
mr
promises
to
approach
our
fall
growing.
Okay.
Well,
last
month
we
ordered
seeds
and
bought
50
plants
has
been
transplanted
in
terms
of
the
seeds.
We
have
filled
eight
72
cell
trays
with
seeds
and
we
started
propagation.
We
have
started
transplanting
our
own,
our
own
plans
to
to
our
garden.
E
E
I
want
to
thank
to
thank
meli
and
raquel
and
morgan
that
are
present
here
today
today,
because
the
we
had
a
from
our
garden
to
yours,
the
initiative
that
was
two
weeks
ago
and
they
collected
111
dollars
in
just
one
hour
and
that's
a
good
number
we
had
also
for
the
past
weekend.
We
participated
in
the
farmers
market
for
the
first
time
this
year,
thanks
to
melee
to
raquel
and
the
morgan
and
all
the
volunteers.
E
Yeah,
okay,
also
marcella
and
myself.
We
met
with
michael
gonzalez
from
lcc
from
florida
college
to
discuss
a
probable
problem,
probably
a
partnership
between
our
center
and
eloredo
college.
I
have
been
working
on
the
gardener
agreement.
Just
so
you
know
I
have
a
template.
We
have
a
good.
We
have
a
good
document
right
now,
a
seven
page
document
that
we
have
to
polish
and
intrigue
a
little
bit
to
our
needs,
and
I
think
it's
a
good
start.
E
E
Yeah,
I
understand
that
very
good
and
also
I
have
prepared
a
great
decision
and
a
purchase
requisition,
because
our
gardeners
at
hillside
need
tools
and
need
a
shed
to
store
those
tools
and
we
at
canseco.
We
also
need
compost,
javascript,
minerals.
We
need
a
growing
treatment,
all
sorts
of
things
to
to
keep
preparing
our
soil.
B
E
Kill
side:
okay,
I'm
proposing
a
a
seven
by
seven
shed
taking
shovels;
four
four
garden
breaks
or
garden
code;
two,
I'm
sorry,
two
plastic
card
holes
wheels
and
a
low
mower,
and
this
is
a
rough
estimated
and
here's
my
justification.
E
They
I
they
barely
have
one
building
this
point
and
two
broken
breaks.
They
have
been
requesting
for
the
past
two
months,
tools
to
card
hopefuls
and
in
addition
to
that,
I
think
it's
necessary
to
have
a
to
have
proper
storage.
A
Okay,
so
motion
to
approve
the
purchasing
for
hillside
tools
or
anyone
has
questions
before
we
go
to
the
motion
to
approve.
A
E
A
E
F
E
A
And
the
other
thing
is
contact.
John
john
said
that
a
laws
can
actually
provide
some
of
these
items.
So
maybe
you
wanna
contact
john
or
narrator,
beautiful
or
juniper.
Are
you
here
here.
E
B
A
So
I
want
to
I
mean
I
wanted
to
discuss
possible
action
goals
for
mexico
or
this
fiscal
year,
but
we
don't
have
any
more
time.
Are
you
done
with
your
item.
E
Yeah,
I'm
done
with
my
report.
It's
just
a
two
page
report
and
request
your
position,
that's
it
and
I
have
here
ready
templates,
which
we
will
discuss
with
the
committee
right.
We
have,
I
have
a
summary
of
the
rules
and
then
I
have
a
waiver
left
waiver
of
liability
release
agreement
and
then
the
rules
of
our
garden,
okay,
but
we
can
discuss
that
later
on
the
committee.
A
Yes,
and
if
you
can
send
us
a
copy
of
the
report
for
our
for
all
all
board
members,
that
would
be
ideal
because
we
all
need
to
cook
and
if
we
have
any
comments
or
whatever,
we
can
actually
do
open
comments
for
next
next
meeting.
Yeah.
A
I
do
have
a
working
sheet
because
of
course
I'm
a
teacher,
so
I
have
a
working
sheet
on
that
island,
but
I
will
send
that
information
as
well
to
the
board.
I'm
going
to
make
a
motion
to
adjourn
so
motion
to
adjourn.
A
So
all
in
favor
right,
okay,
so
we
are
turning
at
12
19..
Thank
you
so
much
for
being
here
and.
