Tsubame,
yes,
we
only
have
emails
for
everybody,
but
we
need
to
update
my
man
also
she's,
working
on
an
app
like
finding
an
application
that
be
able
to
connect.
They
are
going
to
station
with
volunteers.
We
have
looked
at
one.
That
is
what
you
both
find.
It's
really
comprehensive,
so
she
might
the
next
time
we
meet
do
a
little
presentation
about
the
app
and
just
creep
forward.
So
there
may
be
at
least
a
pulse.
So
if
you
want
to
check
it
out
and
then
meet
up
so
I
love
it
any
more
comment.
Comments.

I
think
you
I
was
speaking
with
Christian
about
this
he's
some
eyewear.
What
what
every
issue
is
again
to
go
back
on
my
memory
of
this,
we
did
not
have
our
bylaws.
We
had
not
adopted
our
bylaws.
We
were
going
by
the
Articles
of
Incorporation,
the
Articles
of
Incorporation
say
that
bourbon
is
chair
and
then
I
doesn't
mention
other
other
offices
or
officers.
H
So,
on
our
first
meeting,
we
had
voted
for
chair
Vice,
Chair
and
Secretary
of
relief,
which
conflicted
with
what
the
articles
of
the
corporation
stated.
Of
course,
we
didn't
have
the
bylaws
at
that
time.
So
the
question
is:
do
we
need
to
follow
what
the
Articles
of
Incorporation
say
state
and
apparently,
that
I
guess
the
bylaws
on
a
copy
of
them
state
to
correct
that?
Or
do
we
keep
our
original
vote
and
the
original
people
that
we
selected
for
the
officers?
Okay,.
F
F
So
article
six
talks
about
the
Board
of
Directors
generally
and
the
composition,
and
so
it's
11
members,
one
through
five,
six
or
eleven
their
appointments
and
the
qualifications.
The
initial
directors
are
already
listed
in
the
certificate
and
so
that's
all
of
y'all.
So
that's
why
you
are
here
serving
and
it
has
the
initial
terms
for
those
directors
and
so
one
through
five.
F
Their
terms
expire,
September,
thirtieth,
2021,
six
through
11,
September,
thirtieth
2020,
does
say
the
director
that
is
in
position
number
two
service,
the
chair
of
the
board
until
September,
thirtieth,
2020
and
then
annually
thereafter
it
could
be
elected
by
the
majority
of
the
entire
board.
So
that's
that's
what
the
the
original
creation
documents
position
to
the
position
to
is
current
city
of
Laredo
parks
and
Leisure,
Services,
Department,
representative
and
so
I
think
that
was
you
Behrman
I
learned
for
your
position
to
at
the
moment,
and
so
that's
what
the
article
say.
Question
online
sure.
F
But
the
initial
certificate
lists,
via
the
original
eleven,
so
you're
part
of
the
og
first
eleven.
But
then,
after
once
your
term
expires.
It
doesn't
necessarily
have
to
fill
be
filled
with
a
director
position.
It
just
going
to
be
a
designee
or
a
representative,
and
so
that's
kind
of
how
that's
spelled
out
the
bylaws
ultimately
can't
be,
and
the
bylaws
are
not
inconsistent
with
certificate
information,
the
bylaws,
how
the
different
titles
and
positions
and
how
one
is
removed
or
appointed
the
Hospice's.
F
So
ultimately,
very
long
way
of
saying
I
mean
the
chair
has
already
been
appointed
by
the
student
led
by
counsel
and
by
by
the
certificate
of
formation.
If
we
want
to
make
changes.
Procedurally,
how
does
that
not
be
the
case
that
can
happen,
but
ultimately
the
in
the
the
proper
order
of
things
is
adoption
of
the
bylaws
adoption
of
everything
that
has
to
be
adopted.
And
then
you
have
your
election
us
here,
but
the
chairs
already
been
appointed
if
y'all
want
to.
You
know.
F
For
some
reason
it
does
say
that
you
know
what
the
terms
are,
the
one-year
terms
but
they're
subject
to
removal
at
any
time
with
or
without
cause
with
a
bona
fide
directors,
and
so
there's
ways
to
go
about
having
that
composition
of
the
officers
change,
but
that's
ultimately
up
the
wishes
of
the
born.
So
in
our
August
meeting,
when
we
did
elections-
and
you
know
we
put
everybody
in
place-
yeah
should
that
be
null
and
void
and
we
started
over
probably
I
mean
because
that's
the
only
position
that's
listed
out
and
certificate
of
formation.
F
G
F
H
C
H
E
A
A
G
A
C
C
A
C
A
A
A
A
C
C
A
C
A
F
I
mean
those
are
the
general
rules
that
apply
to
all
city
boards,
commissions
and
committees,
its
general
rules
of
order
on
how
a
meeting
is
supposed
to
be
run,
and
so
it
gives
guidance
to
members
of
the
assembly.
As
far
as
what
is
emotion,
how
do
you
act
on
emotion?
How
do
you
take
votes
forum
with
different
types
of
motions
and
what
precedents
they
have
over
each
other?
And
so
there
are
brief.
Explainers
online,
like
I,
have
a
Robert's
Rules
for
dummies
on
my
test,
but
there
Jack.
A
F
So
bigger
more
formal
boards
or
more
strict
and
their
enforcement
of
the
rules
is
smaller,
I
mean
to
the
degree
to
which
they're
adopted
or
they're
enforced
varies
among
different
organizations,
but
ultimately
it
gives
everybody
a
starting
point.
As
far
as
how
the
kind
of
meeting
is
supposed
to
be
run
and
so
I
think
the
the
city
has
adopted.
The
latest
version,
which
is
the
eleventh
that
there
so
I
I,
want
to
say
we
have
a
few
for
reference.
So
if
you
needed
a
copy,
it's
it's
very
exciting.
Reading,
I'm
sure.
F
A
F
D
A
G
Well,
just
a
point
on
that:
not
that
there's
any
controversy
or
maybe
ever
will
be
with
the
burrito
center
for
urban
agriculture
sustainability.
But
one
of
the
good
things
about
Robert's,
Rules
Wars
is
that
it's
very
easy
for
the
public
to
understand.
Who
did
what
who
said
what
was
it
agreed
on?
But
so
it's
important
to
to
speak
loudly
for
the
vote
for
the
for
the
recording,
there's.
G
G
That's
when
we
all
answer
and
if
it
doesn't
appear
or
sound
like
it's
gonna,
be
you
notice,
then
you
can
ask
for
any
opposed
and
then
we
would
record
that
we
would
say:
okay,
it
was
six
in
favor
two
against
whatever,
maybe
and
then
not
that
available
in
issue.
But
then
the
public
can
understand.
Okay.
What
what.
G
G
E
F
Area
extension,
so
would
she
be
replaced
with
somebody
from
attic
extension
or
would
she
still
be
able
to
be
a
director
even
though
she's
no
longer
there?
So
my
question
is:
is
it
the
position
or
is
it
the
person
and
I
guess
that's
one
of
those
fun
questions
that
the
board
gets
to
decide
because
it's
not
really
particularly
spelled
out
I
mean
it
does
lay
out
the
general
qualifications
of
the
person.
That's
supposed
to
be
in
the
position.
C
F
B
F
A
A
F
Ultimately
of
the
board,
ireland's
of
what
hires
them
so
I
think
different
local
government
corporations
do
things
differently,
but
generally
it's
an
understanding
that
it
is
a
quasi
governmental
entity
and
that
the
city
has
some
control
and
oversight
over
it.
But
it's
still
its
own
separate
legal
entity
for
purposes
of
everything
else
that
has
to
do
with
being
an
entity,
and
so
when
the
board
hires
somebody
they're,
not
a
city
of
Loretto,
employee,
they're,
employee
of
the
lorena
center
for
urban
agriculture
and
sustainability.
You
are
the
employer.
F
G
E
A
F
Not
that
it's
not
I'm
not
saying
that
a
city
public
employee
cannot
be
as
employee
of
the
Lorado
Center
for
urban
agriculture
and
sustainability.
What
I'm
saying
is
by
being
a
employee
of
the
little
eros
Center
for
urban
agriculture,
sustainability,
you're,
not
automatically
a
city
of
Loretto,
employee,
I,
think.
F
I
mean
you
can
think
about
it.
As
a
almost
like
a
separate
Department
of
this
video
so
yeah
to
me,
you
could
in
theory,
work
at
two
departments,
but
I'm
sure
your
old
department
director
may
may
want
you
to
be
there
for
what
they've
hired
you
for,
and
so
it
kind
of
the
how
those
employees
or
resources
are
going
to
be
allocated
and
shared
is
I.
Think
what
is
the
conversation
that
happens
when
you
have
do
dual
roles.
A
E
H
E
C
E
D
F
D
F
D
E
F
C
F
F
F
C
C
D
H
A
F
I
mean
I,
taught
the
medley
city
property,
so
we're
aware
that
the
discussion
starts
to
be
management
and
commute
with
their
respective
councilmembers.
Ultimately
again,
this
is
somewhat
part
of
the
city
and
its
composition,
so
it
would
just
be
to
be
a
an
agreement
in
writing
that
kind
of
spells
out
what
the
terms
of
the
lease
are
going
to
be
between
the
city
and
LC
uas.
E
And
I'm
expecting
to
meet
with
councilman
Martinez,
sometimes
and
I-
don't
know
if
it'd
be
do
we
need
to
put
something
in
writing
first
and
then
present
the
tumor.
Maybe
I
can
just
mention
that
there
is
an
interest
in
I
know.
The
discussion
has
been
that
small
carriage
house.
That
is
there
as
opposed
to
like
the
main
property
that
maybe
the
second
floor
that
can
be
used
as
a
small
office.
So
I
could
just
mention
that
to
him
I,
don't
where
that
goes.
It's.
C
E
Because
you
know
the
separate
in
the
congress
a
mother
had
was
somewhat.
The
idea
was
that
the
property
itself
in
the
garden
grounds
the
way
it's
been
managed
so
far-
and
I
don't
know
if
this
is
in
writing
anywhere,
but
that
it
seems
to
belong
to
parks
again,
I
don't
know
that
that
property
is
officially
like.
Are.
E
Canseco
property,
the
garden
grounds
are
not
referring
to
the
house
or
even
the
carriage
house,
so
I
don't
know
if
it
would
remain
as
the
grounds
being
parks
and
that
the
lease
agreement
might
just
be
for
the
use
of
of
the
office
there,
in
which
case
that
would
facilitate.
If
there
are
other
gardens,
have
become
part
of
Elsie
UAS.
It
doesn't
have
to
just
be
that
property
right.
E
B
F
E
C
E
A
C
F
H
F
C
E
D
E
We
think
somewhere
here,
we
and
I'm,
just
where
we
had
a
call
with
with
the
Wildflower
Center
and
that's
exactly
the
way
they
describe
how
they
manage.
There
are
grounds
as
well.
They
have
a
couple
people
hired,
obviously
their
budget
and
they're
they're
part
of
UT,
and
they
have
resources
that
we
don't
have.
But
the
main
idea
is
that
they
hire
in
volunteer
coordinator
and
that
person
is
responsible
for
I
think
they
have
800
volunteers
on
the
list
and
they're
the
ones
that
come
in
and
everything
within
everything.
E
A
E
E
I
I
received
a
call
yesterday
from
a
woman.
Her
name
is
Rosie
believe
Sanchez.
If
I'm
not
mistaken,
she
is
a
teacher
over
at
UIC.
She
is
the
AP
Human
Geography
teacher
and
they're
doing
an
agriculture,
I,
guess
they're
wanting
to
learn
more
about
urban
agriculture
or
any
combat
works.
So
they're
gonna
be
visiting
our
market
on
November
16th,
but
I
didn't
mention
to
her
gums
uncle
garden.
She
has
about
60
students
that
would
be
interested
in
participating
or,
and
we
don't
go
into
details
of
how
they
would
participate
or
anything
like
that.
A
It
doesn't
have
my
concern
is
I
said
it
doesn't
have
to
be
all
fanciful
because
we
have
several
gardens
across
the
city.
So
my
concern
is
how
to
coordinate
for
volunteers
for
all
these
colleges
and
that's
why
I
asked
CPS
about
who
is
our
intern
to
do
a
search
for
an
app
where
we
can
have
some
kind
of
organizational
control
for
both
peers
around
this
community
gardens
and
I?
Think
everything
can
go,
they
have
it,
but
probably
to
do.
A
C
E
A
E
C
E
E
B
A
E
F
F
No,
we
I
mean
we
had
originally
registered
a
nonprofit
corporation
instead
of
Texas,
but
501c3
status
you
get
from
the
IRS
I,
don't
know.
So
let
me
an
entity
that
we
had
created
did
not
have
not
gone
through
that
process.
Yet
so,
ultimately,
either
it
C
C,
3
C
4,
depending
on
what
this
organization
qualifies
for
its
that
tax
status.
That
allows
you
then
to
the
pursued
grant
opportunities
most
just
like
the
city.
The
city
is
not
a
501
C
3
organization
per
se,
but
it's
a
nonprofit
organization
that
most
like
granting.
E
E
A
G
Doing
it
because
they
don't
want
for-profit
organizations
to
apply
clearly
we're
not
for
outdoors
I,
agree
and
I
think
if
we
still
apply
it
I
think
they
would
consider
us
now
there
may
be
some
organization,
that's
so
restrictive
and
how
they're
doing
they
wouldn't
consider
us
as
we
don't
fit,
as
certainly
you
don't
check
a
certain
box,
but
I
think
most
of
the
grant
applications
would
acknowledge.
Okay,
it's
sound
if
I
want
to
receive,
but
it's
not
the
profit.
It's
it's
a,
but.
B
C
H
C
D
E
I
There's
ways
to
check
that,
though,
through
the
Secretary
of
State
and
then
the
comptroller's
office,
you,
you
know
you
type
in
the
organization's
tax,
ID
or
whatever.
We
have
no
federal,
ID
and
it'll.
Tell
you
what
type
of
what
status
this
organization
holds
at
the
moment.
That
way
we
can
know,
and
in
most
cases
that
will
tell
you
if
something
was
filed,
you
can
get
a
copy
of
whatever
it
was
filed.
Most
of
that
is
public
record.
G
E
A
G
G
Name,
but
if
you
contact
tech
globe,
yeah
economic
developer,
for
me,
he'll
he'll
get
you
in
touch
with
the
grant
coordinator,
development
I,
don't
recall,
but
he's
very
willing
to
help
any
organization.
That's
that's
once
to
do
research
into
what
grants
available
are
actually
applying
for
the
grants.
That's
great.
C
A
I
E
E
It
was
kind
of
a
hey
be
from
them,
then,
because
she
would
bring
all
her
friends
and
they
would
each
they
would
have
big
gala
events
and
a
$25,000
per
table,
and
so
they
were
bringing
raising
a
lot
of
money
and
that's
how
they
got
established,
but
over
the
years
they
died.
They
kind
of
fluctuated
really
out
of
these
donors
passed
away
and
long
story.
Short
ut
took
over
the
Wildflower
Center
as
part
of
their
landscape
architecture
program,
new
consulting.
E
E
They
probably
get
a
lot
of
their
native
plants
and
stuff,
which
could
be
something
to
consider,
see
us
and
the
native
plant
pollinator
garden.
We
have
a
greenhouse
there.
The
idea
is
that
the
Urban
horticulture,
Forestry
Division,
can
assist
with
propagating
plants
etc,
but
we
just
got
some
detailed
information
as
to
how
they
fund
themselves
and
keep
themselves
afloat
and
manage
their
grounds.
E
But
they
have
four
full-time
employees
that
manage
the
greenhouses
propagate
all
of
their
native
plants,
etc.
I
mean
they
are.
The
point
to
take
from
this
is
that
the
vision
for
OC
UAS
and
the
Conseco
property
is
a
significant
one.
It
requires
time
to
put
into
it
full
time
really
about
other
employees
or
volunteers
earth.
E
However,
that
is
organized,
so
hopefully
we'll
kind
of
get
there,
at
least
by
starting
with
with
a
director
or
volunteer
coordinator,
and
they
get
a
lot
of
this
I
think
the
LGC
council
clarified
that
your
ear
was
initially
where
was
501c3
our
LGC.
My
understanding
was
who
went
through
all
you
see,
so
that
there
could
be
continued
collaboration
with
the
city,
whether
it
was
my.
E
E
Been
a
more
intensive
effort
for
vulture
coordination,
it's
just
that
these
Saturday
sessions,
that's
showing
us
that
it's
not
enough
input
to
have
the
grounds
be
at
the
level
that
we'd
like
them
to
be
so.
We
increased
some
the
frequency
of
these
sessions
to
evening
sessions.
We
got
a
lot
done
on
everything,
I
mean
I'd,
say
Conseco
urban
gardens
planted
about
75%
with
all
these
new
plants
that
we
created
with
these
volunteers.
E
It's
doing
really!
Well,
though,
the
fight
against
the
Bermuda
grass
that
invades
is
coming
along
really
nicely.
We
have
a
couple
volunteers
that
have
taken
it
kind
of
personally.
In
there
we
every
time,
which
is
good
and
the
pollinator
garden.
We
have
a
contract
employee
through
my
division,
he's
part-time
Chris,
Segovia
he's
our
beekeeper
he's
been
doing
impromptu
weekday
morning
sessions
to
keep
the
pollinator
garden
kind
of
just
floating.
