LAREDO CENTER URBAN DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE MEETING 092420

So
they
are
looking
for
some
sources
and,
of
course,
all
that
comes
back
to
the
lease
agreement.
They
did
want
to
run
the
canseco
house
or
the
consecutive
property
kind
of
like
to
mirror
the
unit
trade
agreement,
and
I
told
them
that
we
probably
would
not
want
to
do
that,
because
what
that
would
mean
is
that
any
time
that
the
city
would
would
want
to?
They
could
have
an
event
at
the
consecutive
house
like
they
do
at
unitrade
night
and
well.
B
It
doesn't
necessarily
work
like
that,
because
we
have
an
actual
garden
there
and
the
volunteers
of
the
garden
would
be
very
hesitant
on
letting
people
go
there
without
the
volunteers
being
there,
because
if
something
happens
to
the
garden
and
to
the
plants
that
are
there,
you
know
people
put
a
lot
of
hard
work
in
there.
So
I
explained
to
them.
I
had
a
good
long
conversation
with
the
attorney
who
now
understands
what
we're
doing
and
understands
the
whole
process.
A
That's
fantastic.
Thank
you
so
much.
I
actually
said.
I'm
gonna
continue
with
this
public
comments.
I
sent
an
email
to
mr
eat
because
I
wanted
to
introduce
jose,
and
I
also
expose
the
fact
that
if
we
don't
have
the
lease
agreement,
we
have
found
several
grants,
but
those
grants
are
depending
on
the
lease
agreement
like
we
have
like.
I
mean
that
there's
land
that
it's
shared
with
the
city,
but
we
we
we
can
still
use
it,
I'm
trying
so
I'm
trying
to
find
different.
I
mean
I
I
I'm
really
appreciated.
A
I
mean
I
think
we
need
the
lease
agreement
and
if
they
can
actually
complete
the
carriage
house-
and
they
have
like
they
can
find,
the
fonts
would
be
fantastic.
I
think
so.
But
in
the
meantime,
what
can
we
do-
and
this
is
a
question
to
have
some
kind
of-
like
maybe
letter-
of
of
a
not
not
a
lease
agreement
sign,
but
maybe
a
letter
of
support
from
the
city
saying
we
are
working
on
this
lease
agreement.
We
are
trying
to
find
some
kind
of
funding
for
this
project,
but
the
land
is
there.
A
A
Yeah
local
government
corporation
right
so
we're
giving
their
support
like
that.
We
we
need
that
type
of
support,
so
I
think
that
would
be
important
because
I've
been
talking
with
jose
about
these
and
how
important
this
is
for
the
grants.
So
I
I
mean
I
would
propose
to
move
forward
with
with
that
that
request
from
the
city
of
florida.
B
I'll
talk
to
the
city
attorney
first
chance
I
get
hopefully
today
tomorrow
I
did
send
an
email
in
for
an
update
and
she
hasn't
responded
to
be
honest.
The
city
manager,
the
assistant
city
manager,
none
of
them
will
sign
anything
until
it
gets
past
legal.
It's
doing
legal
right
now.
You
know
I
I
I
understand
that
you
did
send
something
to
mr
reeds
and
you
know
that's
fine
and
all,
but
he's
not
going
to
sign
anything
until
legal
says:
yes,
go
ahead
and
sign.
A
No,
I
don't
want
to
force
any
signature
at
all.
I
mean
that's,
not
the
goal.
No,
the
goal
is
to
have
some
kind
of
letter
of
support,
for
example,
that
we
can
actually
include
in
any
application
for
grants.
That's
that's
the
that's.
The
that's.
A
request
is
not
like.
Oh
I'm
going
to
try
force
this
situation
or
no.
I
understand
that
and
I
really
appreciate
like
I
think
that
the
fact
that
they
are
looking
for
finding
funding
to
actually
complete
the
carriage
house
is
amazing.
I
think
it's
incredible.
I
really
really
think
it's.
B
Like
I
said
I'll
stay
on
top
of
it
on
top
of
it
with
valeria
and
we'll
get
it
taken
care
of.
I'm
glad
that
jose
was
telling
us
about
the
the
absolute
need
for
the
for
the
lease
agreement
to
establish
validity
for
our
organization,
so
that
we
could
apply
for
grants.
So
I
will
talk
to
valeria
about
it.
If
anything,
at
least,
we
can
get
that
portion
of
the
lease
agreement
to
stipulate
that
we
are
a
city-sponsored
non-for-profit
agency
and
we
can
start
going.
D
B
A
A
I
think
it's
a
difficult
time
I
mean
I
understand
the
city
is
also
looking
at
in
revenue.
I
mean
there
are
a
lot
of
companies
right.
They
are
trying
to
finish
the
the
current
house
and
all
that,
but
I
mean
I
don't.
I
don't
know
how
the
board
feels
about
jose's
continue
to
work
in
the
at
home
right
versus
having
an
established
office,
because
we
can
actually-
and
this
is
an
issue
that
as
the
board
we
need
to
to
think
about.
A
I
mean
I'm
just
asking
guillermo
if
we
can
have
a
letter
of
support,
because
we
need
those
that
letter
for
support
for
grant.
But
the
question
here
for
the
whole
board
is:
can
we
have
an
address
in
laredo?
That's
gonna
mean
I
mean
if
we
rent
a
space
for
jose
to
actually
have
an
office.
That's
gonna
be
money
from
our
budget.
Is
that
something
that
we
should
consider,
or
is
that
something
that
I
mean?
Are
we
still?
I
mean
I'm
comfortable?
I
trust
jose.
I
know
he
is
working
at
home
right.
A
B
B
Right
now,
that's
that's
what
they
are
doing:
they're
trying
to
secure
the
funding
in
order
to
get
those
renovations
done.
They're,
I
believe
jj
was.
I
was
talking
to
him
earlier
this
week
and
he
was
going
to
go.
Get
public
works
to
go,
do
an
assessment
of
the
work
that
needs
to
be
done
at
public
at
the
gun,
sickle
house
so
that
we
could
go
out
and
get
bids.
B
E
A
F
A
Okay,
so
I
guess
that
we
okay,
so
we
need
to
pin
this
item.
I
think
that
that
would
be
a
good
compromise.
Let's
pin
the
item
in
terms
of
the
office,
I
think
it
will
take
a
couple
more
months
right
and
then
in
the
meantime,
if
we
can
get
a
letter
of
support
from
the
city,
so
we're
gonna
start
with
the
process
of
applying
for
grants.
I
think
that
would
be
a
good
compromise
and
I
think
that
I
mean
I
I
really
appreciate.
B
B
B
C
E
B
A
E
E
E
A
B
A
B
B
B
A
That
well
one
of
the
things
that
I've
been
hearing
from
united
way
members
is
that
it's
difficult
to
find
accountants
that
actually
can
do
the
the
procedure
or
the
finances
or
the
reports
for
non-profit
organizations.
But
I
don't
know
if
we
are
a
local
government
corporation.
Do
we
function
the
same
way
as
a
non-profit
or
we
do
it
same
way
as
a
nonprofit?
D
C
C
B
D
C
C
C
We
have
started
a
a
marketing
campaign
on
facebook,
with
flyers,
post
pictures-
and
that's
that's
some.
I
I
know
miss
frank-
has
helped
us
also
in
marcena
she's
she's,
helping
us
to
share
comments
to
to
make
some
things
there.
In
the
facebook
pages
page,
I
still
don't
have
access
to
instagram
and
I
would
like
to
propose
okay,
the
creation
of
facebook,
close
group,
some
of
the
volunteers,
have
concerns
they
want
to
have
a
better
channel
of
communication
between
the
people
from
the
board
and
and
them
and
volunteers.
C
F
F
A
But
I
I
mean,
I
think,
that
we
need
to
establish
two
things
here.
Number
one
is
I'm
going
to
say
all
like
all
our
meetings
for
the
board
are
published,
so
if
any
of
the
volunteers
would
like
to
participate,
they
can't
join
like
viviana
has
done,
but
that
information
needs
to
be
shared.
So
I
think
direct
because
you
are
the
volunteer
representative.
A
You
have
to
actually
share
this
information
with
the
volunteers
because
they
need
to
know
these
type
of
these
board
meetings
are
happening.
The
other
thing
is
I've.
Done
I've
been
hearing
from
volunteers,
the
issue
of
transparency.
They
want
to
know
what's
happening
at
the
board
right,
so
I
think
that
it's
important
that
you
and
jose
both
of
you,
since
you
work
directly
with
the
volunteers,
need
to
be
reporting
consistently.
A
What
is
happening?
What
are
the
steps?
Where
are
we
in
the
process,
and
I
think
that
will
also
create
more
confidence
in
our
volunteers,
because
the
the
issue
is
this
has
been
like.
You
know,
for
example,
that
hris
it's.
It
was
like
the
overseeing
canseco
and
hillside
right
in
their
in
their
creation
and
that
we
are
a.
A
Corporation
and
that
we've
been
sharing
like
that,
the
city
of
laredo
is
not
the
government
governing
board,
but
it's
part
of
our
board
as
its
citizens
like
me
that
I
have
nothing
to
do
with
the
city
and
city
representatives
that
actually
work
together
to
actually
complete
a
project.
Like
this
I've
had
a
meeting
with
the
volunteers.
A
C
F
C
So
this
leads
us
to
the
next
pending
item
that
we
we
have
the
website
creation
non-action
taking
it.
So
my
plan
is
to
start
getting
quotes
early
in
the
next
couple
of
weeks
and,
of
course,
I'll
share
those
quotes
with
the
board.
Okay,
we
already
talked
about
the
lease
agreement.
The
carriage
house,
we're
gonna
talk
a
little
bit
about
the
garden
maintenance
parks
and
volunteers
have
been
working
hard.
C
So
we
are
working
on
that
too.
Okay,
some
insights,
okay,
we
need,
we
need
tools
and
hillside.
We
need
a
probably
a
new
lock.
It
was
like
there
was
a
problem.
Last
sunday
the
lag
was
open
and
that's
a
conversation
we
need
to
have
with
probably
coach
gomez.
We
need
a
basic
gardening
tools.
We
need
a
shed.
We
need
at
least
two
hose
wheelers.
C
We
we
still
need
to
get
together
and
identify
congregation
lines
in
order
to
determine
if
our
schedule
is
working
properly,
because
some
of
the
volunteers
are
concerned
that
sometimes
they
are
working
working
out
in
the
in
the
garden
and
the
irrigation
systems
turns
on
and
they
cannot.
They
cannot
work
properly.
C
C
D
D
C
A
picture
or
something
we
need
to.
I
need
to
talk
to
mr
navarro
about
that,
and
the
idea
of
this
is
to
eventually
schedule
some
gardening
workshops
or
professional
growth
opportunities
or
for
for
them
for
our
crew,
and
I
also
in
terms
of
the
garden
maintenance.
I
want
to
propose
the
purchase
of
a
shredder
tumbler
to
start
making
our
own
pumpkins
in
the
garden.
A
A
So
we
can
provide
the
information.
So
if
we
have
any
garden
in
any
recreational
center,
they
can
actually
they
are
being
trained
about
how
to
con,
how
to
develop
and
establish
or
how
to
support
and
upkeep
a
a
garden
in
their
recreational
centers.
So
I
think
this
piece
of
is
super
important.
We
need
to
work
more
with
coach
gomez
and
I'm
so
I'm
sad
that
he's
not
here
today.
C
I
know
we're
gonna
set
up
something
good
and
enjoy
interesting
and
we're
gonna
talk
about
the
volunteers
we
have
well.
I
I
have
not
19
signed
applications
right
now
and
ruby.
One
of
our
volunteers
have
developed
an
attendance
spreadsheet
and
I
want
to
thank
derrick
and
ruby
and
nelly
and
all
the
volunteers
that
have
been
working
past
weeks,
the
past
weekends,
on
the
gardens.
C
C
There's
one
grant
that
we
could
potentially
apply
in
the
near
time
it's
a
fruit
tree
planting
foundation,
but
they
they
also
request
some
kind
of
letter
or
document
that
allows.
You
allows
us
to
the
land
that
the
consecutive
house
and
that's
the
we're
gonna
we're
gonna
work
on
that
and
there's
one
other
brand
that
we
could
potentially
apply,
and
the
application
will
come
this
winter
that
that's,
it's
called
the
specialty
crop
block
brand
program,
it's
through
the
texas
department
of
agriculture
and
they
they
can
they
can.
A
C
C
C
A
A
I
think
it's
important
to
show
some
pictures
jose.
Thank
you
for
the
pictures,
because
we
can
see
that
before
and
after
I
mean
when
jose
came
into
capsico,
it
was
like
the
volunteers
have
gone
up
and
beyond
what
they
could
and
the
garden
was
in
completely
distress.
I
think
that,
for
they
had
have
done
a
great
job
in
trying
to
control
the
weeds
to
clean
up
the
garden,
I
think
that's
being
super
important
work.
So
thank
you
so
much
for
this.
It's
been
really
really
good.
A
C
A
F
I
I'll
I'll
add
too,
that
you
know
it's
it's
it's
a
point.
Processing
it's
been
two
or
three
times
now
that
you've
had
to
essentially
pick
up.
You
know
pick
up
a
truck
in
order
to
get
the
garden
out
from
underneath,
but
you
know
it's
it's
it.
It's
taken
some
pretty
heroic
measures
to
that
stuff
grows
fast,
that
bermuda
grass.
You
know
so
we're
in
a
good
we're
in
a
much
better
position.
Now
this
coming
weekend,
we've
been
working
on
one
garden,
primarily
because
we
just
that's.
F
F
F
F
A
Oh
hi
hi,
I'm
just
asking
if
I
mean
one
of
the
questions
that
we
have
is
that
we
don't
have
enough
volunteers
or
that
we're
thinking
that
the
volunteer,
the
volunteers
are
carrying
a
very
heavy
load
and
we
would
like
to
engage
more
people.
My
question
for
you
is:
how
can,
if
anything,
do
laredo
keep
laredo
beautiful
to
help
us
with
this
mission?.
H
A
H
A
So
if,
if
anyone
has
a
garden
in
their
recreational
center,
they
can
either
develop
the
garden
or
an
or
offshoot
the
garden
and
actually
have
this
as
an
educational
activity,
because
the
goal
for
lcis
is
to
have
an
impact
through
the
city
right.
So
I
think
that
it's
important
that
we
can.
If
we
can
develop
this
type
of
educational
program,
they
will
be
able
to
to
reproduce
what
we
have
at
canseco,
which
is
a
small
into
larger
or
other
portions
of
the
city.
So
I
mean
I
mean
we
can
with
jose.
G
Right
now,
right
now,
good
morning,
everyone-
so
I
remember
joining.
They
had
three
means
at
the
same
time
but
john
and
I
had
three
mains
at
the
same
time
and
I
feel
like
a
dj,
trying
to
turn
everything
all
these
screens
on
and
off
and
all
that.
But
yes,
so
cur
we
have
people
going
right
now
that
would
it's
kind
of
slow
with
the
rec
centers
and,
as
you
know,
the
pandemic
and
all
that.
So
I
have
these
extra
hands
that
we
can
put
them
to
use.
I
got
them.
G
I
got
them.
Beautifying
parts,
they're,
painting
all
these
little.
You
know
all
these
areas
that
haven't
gotten
tlc
because
they're
too
busy,
so
I
got
extra
hands
that
we
can
definitely
train.
We
just
gotta
go
with
mr
moreno.
Somebody
said
you
know
what
we're
gonna
set
up
a
seminar
and
I'm
gonna
send
him,
I
would
say,
maybe
three
or
four
from
each
rec
center.
G
I
can
probably
even
do
that
and
for
three
days
one
week
so
that
we
can
plan
it
and
then,
like
you
said,
extend
make
it
be
an
extension
of
what
we
want
to
have
doing
there.
We
go
okay
as
far
as
the
person
is
like
right
now,
they're
there
right
now
about
today's
thursday,
so
they're
out
there
cleaning
the
little
trail
because,
with
the
rain
everything
the
grass
just
got,
we
cleaned
it
out.
G
The
trail
got
cleaned
out,
so
they
know
how
to
do
the
basic
stuff,
but
to
actually
knowing
you
know
the
the
the
the
right
way
and
the
formalities
how
to
do
everything
like
that.
They
definitely
can
have
a
training
and
put
them
to
work
so
that
they
can
go
help
with
their
rec
centers
as
well.
That's
you
know,
that's
a
great
idea.
G
Does
we
just
need
to
come
up
with
a
plan,
mr
moreno
and,
let's
see,
let's
see
if
we
can
coordinate
and
somebody
that's
gonna
train
them
the
right
way
right,
because
I
mean
they're
gonna
clean
up.
You
know
it's
like
clean
out
the
weeds,
but
there's
no
certain
procedures.
You
want
them
to
do
so,
would
definitely
yes
ma'am
doctor,
you
will
definitely
we
could
put
it
together
and
help
everybody
to
help
all
of
us.
You
know.
G
A
And
then
jose,
I
don't
know
if
so
I
I'm
thinking
that
by
the
end
of
what
october
november,
maybe
you
might
have
some
crops
and
that's
just
gonna
use
the
help
of
the
farmers
market,
because
I
think
also
it
would
be
great
to
distribute
these
so
that
they're
like
you're
starting
to
to
to
grow
right
now,
so
probably
by
november.
You
can
have
something
at
the
farmer's
market
right
yeah,
that's,
I
hope,
yeah
and
that
I've
been
talking
with
mellie
who's.
Another
volunteer
and
she
said.
A
A
B
Okay
well
jose.
I
just
wanted
to
thank
you.
That
was
an
excellent,
an
executive
director
report.
If
you
would
be
so
kind
as
to
email
that
to
me
so
that
way,
I
could
include
it
in
the
minutes.
For
this
meeting
sure
also,
the
only
thing
I
would
recommend
is
on
your
executive
director
report.
Maybe
include
a
section
where
you
list
the
grants
that
you're
applying
for
considering
to
apply
for,
or
perhaps
see
it
out
there
in
the
future.
B
That
way,
we
as
a
board
could
help
you
out
with
those
grants,
and
you
know
we
all
have
little
strengths,
and
none
of
us
can
do
this
job
by
ourselves,
but
we
could
all
do
this
job
together.
So
that
way
we
could
assist
you
in
making
those
grants.
You
know
just
as
good
as
they
possibly
can
be
so
yeah.
If
you
just
include
that
in
your
executive
director
report,
we
can
definitely
all
contribute
our
little
areas
of
expertise.
A
B
A
D
A
F
A
A
A
H
A
F
Think
of
somebody
who
isn't
on
the
board
now
that
would
be
interesting.
This
I'm
sure
a
lot
of
people
in
the
city
that
would
be
interested
in
doing
something
like
this.
We
could
probably
find
somebody
really
motivated
to
do
it.
I
certainly
have
a
lot
of
passion
for
this
for
this
project,
but
I
I
think,
there's
probably
got
to
be
somebody
who's
better
suited
would
like
to
step
in.
D
A
I
don't
have
to
say
I
mean
this
is
for
appreciation
of
the
board.
I
don't
have
to
sit
down
right
now,
but
by
the
end
of
the
year
I
will
have
to
so
I
mean
if
the
board
agrees,
I
can
continue
to
support
like
I,
I'm
gonna
try
to
find
my
replacement
and
at
the
same
time
it
will
give
some
time
to
the
board
to
actually
find
a
new
chair,
not
okay
with
you,
but
I
I
needed
to
let
you
know
that
I
need
to
step
down
from.
I
think.
