Description
Laredo Center for Urban Agriculture Meeting 073120
A
B
A
B
Yes,
so
I'm
going
to
to
order
for
this
meeting
is
1106
and
we're
gonna
skip
touch
of
alliance,
so
we
have
seven
members
we're
missing
myself,
cecilia
and
mr
gomez,
roger
if
you
can
stay
until
mr
goodness
comes
in
that
will
have.
That
would
be
great
because
we
can
have
forum.
B
B
We're
good,
okay
and
then
guillermo
sent
the
minutes
from
last
meeting
from
the
meeting
that
we
have
on
the
27th.
B
A
Yeah
I
read
through
it,
I
thought
it
looked
great,
it
was
pretty
extensive,
it
covered.
You
know
the
major
functions,
the
the
pay
that
we're
gonna
give
and
it's
like
it,
looked
like
a
one-year
renewal
or
like
a
one-year
contract
which
is
great.
You
know
for
for
contracting.
You
can
always
it's
gonna,
be
easier,
we'll
know
where
we're
at
you
know
the
year
so
yeah
look,
they
look
well
thought
thought
out
and
I
didn't
have
too
many
comments
on
that.
I
don't
know
if
anyone
else
did.
C
I
I
also
have
an
excel
spreadsheet
that
I
should
have
attached
and
I
just
forgot:
it's
a
basically
just
a
payout
showing
the
dates
periods,
the
pay
date
and
the
amount.
C
250
zero
eight
is
because
you
can't
divide
fifty
thousand
by
twenty
six
pay
periods
because
we
pay
them
bi-weekly,
so
we
needed
the
eight
cents
in
there
just
to
round
off.
D
C
So,
basically,
the
contract
states
that
it
starts
august
16th,
so
that
gives
that
person
two
weeks
to,
I
guess,
put
their
affairs
in
order
and
it
gives
us
two
weeks
to
kind
of
get
stuff
in
order
too,
and
the
first
pay
period
would
be
august
16th
through
august
29th,
and
they
would
get
paid
a
week
later
for
that
work
on
september,
4th
so
for
every
two
weeks
that
they
work
they'll
get
paid
one
week
later.
That's
just
the
standard
way
we
work
in
the
city.
B
D
I
don't
know,
I
agree,
this
is
priscilla.
Sorry.
D
Under
the
compensation
area,
I
don't
know
if
we
need
to
be
this
specific
or
not,
but
where
the
bi-weekly
is
that
going
to
be
pre-tax
or
after
tax
you
know,
are
we
going
to
be
taking
out
the
taxes
for
them?
Is
it
going
to
be
a
1099?
Is
it
going
to
be
a
w-2?
D
Okay,
okay,
okay!
So
then
I
would
maybe
just
add
in
there
that
you
know
they
would
need
how
they
would
be
paid
so
that
they're
not
they're,
not
under
the
understanding
that
you
know
the
organization's
going
to
take
that
on.
C
E
No,
no,
I
think
the
contract
looks
good
and
yeah.
I
agree:
let's
just
put
a
sentence
in
there
about
that
he's
responsible
for
his
withholding
and
everything
else.
A
C
Right,
since
this
contract
is
from
lucas
and
not
the
city,
the
city
wouldn't
won't
look
over
this,
but
I
guess
in
its
form
the
city
has
looked
over
something
very
similar.
If
you
know
what
I
mean,
so
I
think
we
have
a
good
base.
C
B
E
E
D
C
B
B
There
were
three
items
on
the
agenda.
I
can
remember
looking
at
the
budget
proposal
for
from
vermont,
so
I
just
sent
the
budget
proposal
for
berman,
and
I
mean,
of
course
I
mean
we're
open
to
discussion
on
that
proposal.
B
So
what
it
says
pretty
much
is
that
she
is
proposing
two
days
per
week
on
and
off
site
and
he
would
like
to
address
with
his
extra
expertise,
different
type
of
issues
depending
on
what
they
need,
so
that
is
instructional
gardening
sessions,
planning,
design,
meetings
for
program,
development,
research
plan,
propagation,
etc.
A
F
D
D
B
Right
so
what
we
have
from
the
particular
piece
responsible
for
administrative
system
director,
thank
you
roger,
and
with
this
I
mean
it
will
completely
almost
completely
eat
the
budget
for
that
position.
F
I
think
the
idea
was
that
we
wouldn't
have
for
the
whole
year
was
for,
however
long
the
director
needed
if
he
needs
one
month,
two
months
of
experience
to
be
transferred
in
terms
of
knowledge
transfer,
then
that's
how
long
we
can
have
it,
but
I
still
think
it's
we
shouldn't
be
making
that
decision.
It's
something
you
know
yes
or
no.
It
should
be
well,
of
course,
we'll
tell
him
if
he
wants
to
you
know
what
are
the
parameters
we
can't
spend
this
much
because
of
our
budget.
G
I
I
agree,
I
don't
have
enough
information
to
be
able
to
vote
yes
or
no
to
that.
I
can
see
about
scenarios
where
we
would
need
a
consultant,
and
I
can
see
where
we
wouldn't.
I
know
originally.
When
we
came
up
with
this
idea.
G
G
He
is
on
the
more
experienced
side
of
the
candidates,
so
I
can
definitely
foresee
us
not
needing
any
type
of
outside
consultation
at
this
point,
but
I
I
I
do
agree
if
the
if
the
executive
director
has
a
one-year
contract
and
the
security
of
his
position
depends
on
what
he
does,
he
should
have
say
so
on
how
the
money
is
spent.
E
And
marcel
I
I
don't.
I
guess
we
there
are
maybe
some
circumstances
where
we
would
need
berman,
but
can
I
would
feel
better
if
he
had
a
proposal
of
you
know
a
per
event
proposal
and,
let's
say
let's
say:
corona
gets
to
a
level
where
it's
safe
to
do
plantings
or
garden
lessons
whatever
then
maybe
just
have.
E
If
he
could
give
us
a
proposal
for
a
you
know
per
event,
you
know
then,
maybe
maybe
we
can
you
know.
Maybe
we
can
use
them
in
that
capacity.
D
Okay,
just
a
quick
comment
on
that.
I
think
that
we
have
to
trust
the
executive
director.
You
know
that
we
are
bringing
on
board
and
we
need
to
make
sure
that
the
people
align
with
the
vision
that
he
also
has
for
what
he
wants
to
do
with
the
organization.
D
So
I
think
it
would
be
important
for
him
to
at
least
chat
with
berman
beforehand
and
see
what
are
his
needs
and
then
maybe
berman
can
come
up
with
something.
If
the
executive
director
felt
like
we
needed
that
extra
assistance
in
that
area,
then
they
can
kind
of
tailor
something
that
fits
the
needs
and
then
I
feel
then
could
come
to
the
board
and
say:
okay,
we
we're
looking
at
this
type
of
thing,
but
at
least
we
know
the
executive
directors
on
board
and
and
has
a
vision
for
that.
G
C
Personally
marcella,
I
just
wanted
to
say
that
I
think
that
the
rate
of
eighteen
hundred
dollars
a
month
for
two
sessions
a
week
is
really
kind
of
high,
especially
when
you
consider,
I
don't
imagine
him
working
more
than
four
hours
per
session,
so
that
comes
out
to
225
dollars
per
session
at
the
rate
of
like
56
an
hour.
If
he,
you
know,
works
a
four-hour
session.
C
If
anything,
I
don't
see
the
need
for
him
right
now
kind
of
like
what
john
said
you
know
with
the
state
of
our
community
as
it
is.
I
I
don't
think
that
an
eighteen
hundred
dollar
investment
in
august
or
even
in
september,
you
know,
would.
B
Right
so
I
asked
him
about
his
hourly
rate
and
he
said
that
he
was
calculating
something
about
30
dollars
per
hour,
thinking
that
he
would
be
doing
work
eight
hours
for
those
two
days.
I
agree
with
all
of
you.
I
mean
I'm
not
pushing
this
item.
I
just
got
this
rebuttal
and
we
have
talked
about
this
idea,
so
I'm
just
presenting
to
you
what
he
sent
to
me,
but
I
mean
I
can
definitely
go
back
to
him
and
say
well,
we
should
hire
a
new
person.
B
This
person
will
make
the
efficiency
if
we
need
any
other
support,
and
we
will
discuss
with
you
specific
deliverables
that
we
want
from
any
consulting
that
you
you
will
provide,
so
I
mean
so.
The
idea
is
that
so
motion
to
wait
until
the
executive
director
actually
decides
what
to
do
with
it.
Second
second.
G
B
Okay,
very
good.
Do
we
have
any
other
pending
item
guillermo?
Please
help
me
here,
because
I
am
a
little
bit
older.
I've.
E
Got
a
item
for
the
yes,
so
we
had
a
staff
meeting
on
tuesday
and
jj
brought
up
the
conseco
lease,
and
so
we
looked
into
that,
and
so
the
city
manager
already
has
authority
to
execute
that
negotiate
and
execute.
So
jj's
already
sent
it
off
to
the
city
attorney
for
review
and
for
the
city,
manager's
signature.
B
B
Do
you
know
when
we're
gonna
get
any
feedback
information
back
counter
proposal,
whatever
from
the
city?
Do
you
have
any
idea.
E
It's
probably
gonna
take
maybe
a
week
to
go
through
the
system.
So
probably
next
week
we
should
have
a
signed
document
and
then
and
then
we
need
to
whip
out
the
checkbook
and
write
a
check
for
dollars.
B
Actually
derek
and
bobby
had
this
idea,
so
I
don't
know
derek
if
you
want
to
jump
in,
explain
a
little
bit
more
where
we're
coming
from
with
this
idea
for
volunteers.
G
I'm
a
little
lost
there.
I
that
was
my
idea.
G
Yeah
I've
kind
of
been
that
already,
but
I
I
don't
remember
specific.
I
don't
remember
specifically
what
that
was,
so
I'm
gonna
take
the
fifth
on
that.
For
now
you
want
to
keep.
D
G
Yeah
wait
till
next
month,
but
it's
it's
I'm
sure
it
was
a
great
idea
and
it
sounds
like
I
was
going
with
a
flow
of
creativity
at
the
time,
but
but
yeah
and
I
think
you
know
a
volunteer
committee.
That's
that
sounds
great,
but
that
just
seems
like
a
lot
to
chew
on
right
now,
like
with
the
volunteers,
the
only
thing
that's
been
keeping
this
going
and
I'm
excited
about
an
executive
director,
and
I
think
this
let's
go
from
there
in
the
next
next
month,.
B
How
to
incentivize
more
the
board
to
actually
help
with
the
volunteer,
because
I
mean
the
volunteers
right
now
they
are,
they
need
items
so
I've
been
meeting
with
the
hillside
group.
They
have
given
me
a
list
of
items
they
would
like
for
next
for
next
time,
I'm
honestly
holding
it,
because
I
want
the
executive
director
to
help
us
with
that,
and
then
also
I
mean
in
terms
of
participation
and
what
kind
of
support
we
can
provide
for.
B
B
So
if
we
don't
have
any
like
okay,
so
we're
tabling
these
for
next
time,
and
if
anybody
else
has
any
other
comment,
please
let
me
know
okay,
so
I
think
we
can
adjourn
the
meeting
okay,
so
we're
gonna
adjourn
the
meeting
at
11
28.
Thank
you
so
much
everybody
for
being
here
and
we'll
present
this
contract
to
jose.
A
Right
have
a
great
weekend
thanks
motion
to
end
the
meeting,
I
think
we
need
a
motion
in
second.
