B

C

Oh they'll, take it next John.

B

Quickest absent movie is here rosemary Kiki's, not here Maurice, here I'm here, Bolivia Vega is it. You know your parent, so we're all in attendance except John play Piquet and ballet.

B

And then we have a copy of the minutes.

D

E

17, oh yes,.

B

Now, if you just read up okay, we welcome everyone to the meeting. Wolf calls everyone.

B

Except for a role, and then last week, John Pig was absent. Already a vapor rub: radius City Press staff president with Arturo, my new role in Munna and Kristin Rosa spirit. How you saved Glenda Greeley, really seem heartless, and then we approve the minutes for every third. There were no public comments.

B

We reviewed discussed and approval of third-party funding applications for Jo fun. Mr. Arturo Garcia discussed that you're not lassie for duty. We had a concern from our staff side that some applications were submitted early for the documentation questions staff had under submission under a part direction of the community. We learned that can provide identities until February at Friday, May, 11, 2008 een at 5:00 p.m. for clarification, all entities that we had concerns with, provided all the information responsibly to staff clarifying concerns we had regarding their application.

B

All applications are fully complete to be reviewed by the committee.

B

This is about us the stated that she had a concern with the border region. mhm Our company sent application because the organization's incorrect application making it difficult to score, and is how you say you need both I mean that what your name. So my main thing.

F

B

Of times well, that's because they said they used to mean mrs.

F

Marsh, whoever.

B

Said that the application was missing, the portion that is valued at 40 points. Mr. Garcia stated that, because that location, reporter region use the hotel tell application, we should be reviewed and scored as Hotel Motel staff will not decide what you are applying for.

B

Mrs Shepard excuse yourself from South Texas Food Bank, miss Bobby survival's, excused herself from Bethany House Houston limo, excused himself from Laredo main street, the radial Center for the Arts Webb County Heritage Foundation and Laredo Cancer Society mr. Christian roses girl a stated that to avoid losing quorum committee members are to stay quiet and I participate in any discussion when discussing applications. They are excused mr. Arturo Garcia discussed if an organization submitted an application for funding assistance, a general funder hotel/motel, that is what they are playing for.

B

Staff will not decide what each organization is applying for.

B

Miss Hereford recommend for hotel-motel tax Octopussy applications to take 11% out of each applicant, so they keep runnin fairly good spirit or garcia stated that the third prong party funding committee decides and will make the decision to accept how the organization submitted the applications, approval of all 33 applications, general fund and hotel hotel is complete by the third-party funding motion by mr. livadas seconded by Kiki Lobo motion passed, so we scheduled a future meeting today at June 7th at 5:30 and is there a motion to accept the minutes is read all right.

B

More shut up the better for it in a second all in favor, 90, I'll, close.

B

B

There are no citizens here to make comments, because there's directions on the agenda so I'll take care of that. But we don't need to read that because in here so we will begin the review, discussion and approval of third-party funding applications for general fund and hotel motel occupancy tax for the year 18 19 18 minute for the year 19.

B

C

Adam sure, before we are I want to bring three items to discussion, the first one just to let everyone know again: roof decal. Eight application was submitted on May, 2nd 2018 was accepted by City Council on June 4th. Is there anything that's one and then the other one again ready will decide. They do. It said they're, sorry.

B

C

400G had to get some in hers.

E

Yeah, they said I think.

C

That's right, the other would be a little Main Street submitted three applications to to the process, but they used a incorrect application. They submitted the general fund application, but their intentions were to get exists. Assistance through Hotel Motel signs of chickens, near committees, review and discuss if you accept for the real Main Street to submit their applications using the correct application, Hotel Motel to be reviewed and included in the app process for fiscal year, 2018 2008.

C

That's the second item in the third item: border region, rehab center, as mentioned past murmurs miss our swagger. On a previous meeting. The application that was submitted by a border region rehab center is missing the portion that is bending 40 points. It was not sure if the application was correct was a correct one.

C

So, as a committee to review discuss to see if city staff should contact the organization and request clarification on the application or scored the applications as it and again, these items need to be discussed by the committee and make a decision if the committee would accept them. So.

A

I just have because I was in here at the next meeting. My understanding, based on the minutes that the chair of the chairperson right was that somebody who had already been approved and that our recommendation was made to do a deduction reduction that we don't present. That's.

E

Changed but I know because now there's more application.

A

You know figures.

E

Have changed so now we have to update that and take into consideration that they want the they're requesting almost 900,000 and we have.

D

C

A

E

That yeah, so how are we going to do that process? You know how do we determine they're all worthy organizations? We want to fund them all we funded alone last year, but now there's no money. The.

D

E

15 million dollar deficit. So so how do we do this and.

G

Your packets just to remind the board for the record or anything, it's 98 thousand for a general fund and that's the base up with a five percent reduction and then for the hotel. The hotel was also five percent reduced, which is five hundred fourteen thousand dollars. Would you have to work with at this point so.

B

And the Reno means J Street is asking that we that they change it to hotel motel.

G

In the past manager of a hotel motel, we, when we saw we were kind of curious, why they had submitted a general application and not the hotel multiplication, and they advised us it submitted. uh I guess there and I do have to be.

C

G

And they just want to do as we understand that you spoke to the right place.

C

Yeah so basically we asked the committee to discuss if they would accept for a real Main Street to basically a corrective application, but.

B

C

Application so.

B

Shall we take one item so.

B

C

G

First thing was.

C

A

Basically, the first one is birth, be cow. It's.

C

Accepted unclaimed.

B

And says the second.

C

One was with rural Mainstreet, send your three applications through the process, but they use to incorrect application. They submitted the draining flood, an application, but their intentions were to get assistance to ultimate attacks. Occupancy commit this review discussed to do exceptional, Main Street, to submit the three applications using the correct application, photo to be reviewed and included in the application process and.

B

They're here and they're president.

C

As I don't have them here, but I all depends what you decide.

B

Okay, we're gonna leave anybody make a motion to accept the change.

A

The change from.

B

The general fund to hotel-motel the.

A

Three of them, the.

E

Three of them, so why don't we discuss the figures of how it changes the sum of money from you know the general fund. How much do we subtract their from their three applications? So there's more availability of funds for those that are left in the general fund. That.

B

Would be another motion, yeah.

A

Do we have that information in terms of what is the actual? Yes, it's.

E

They're still under the general fund, that's right! This.

C

Is actually yeah because you need to accept them first I can do to Jimmy. So.

A

Then those three are a total and.

A

F

Amount, it has not varying because what we've done in the past is we've, given them more or less what they asked before.

H

F

Previous year, because they're asking whatever mom, doesn't mean we're gonna give them that amount. No.

H

F

You know, move things around and say this one, this much and.

H

F

That much so, if you accept them, it really doesn't have any bearing yes.

A

Be the reason I'm asking is so that we can deduct that amount requested.

E

H

A

H

A

So it was 75 plus 30.

G

Obviously it's gonna free all them I mean one way for the activities that they're that the report wouldn't be an SSI. If you look at the basic needs the top priority, so you probably wouldn't score well, so that's what the company is still undertaking that sense, I think we made a mistake they submitted under the wrong application. We had a training they've been advised.

H

G

Don't understand what happened? The posit did not change and.

F

You don't know why it's.

G

A new director and I think she just made a mistake. We.

E

Don't you got the same strength, but don't make mistakes and the people love gem boozing, the people love the farmers market now, I, don't know where the real Main Street really does other than when I read here. You know the advertising and marketing so I.

E

But you know what I had looked at all of this last night: I figured from the normal fun. If we funded them all, we can't fund them what they want and then only about 1/3 of what they wanted and the other one. You know it was about 86% that we could thought of what they wanted, but now that changes by changing those 3 applications to the other, so so they're ready to consider.

C

So they said: ok.

B

That's before we do the money thing, let's consider where they're not we're going to let the mangy little need to be change like if we want that money released from the general fund, then you know it's my opinion that we should make a motion to accept the change. Well, we accepted.

I

Early competition, so yeah.

B

I'm Beatrice.

I

B

Take I just an.

G

A

Elaborado Main Street, very the Main Street deluzy Festival and the Torino Main Street farmers market to be transferred from the general fund funding source to the hotel, motel occupancy.

C

C

G

Basically, we're gonna do now is I'm gonna, give you we're gonna, give you a copy of the application, and then this course you.

C

Know that's one and then that's a little Main Street for to cover the Saturdays.

H

E

Gonna say you know the: can you just passed that ordinance that they wouldn't be using third-party funding for salaries.

H

E

Maybe that's something that the council needs to infinity.

D

We can because.

C

You only view it, you don't see.

B

What was the third thing, I mean.

C

This I mean just don't oh, give you these score, she's, pretty knowledgeable right.

E

So this is the correct application that your.

H

Pal, yes, yes,.

A

C

Farmers market.

E

Then I've been there for hotel-motel I, think market order a major morning. I think.

A

It's supposed to be a variable tell them. Oh, no.

E

That's what mental health it is under general fund, but they submitted the wrong application. We.

G

Don't know what I mean big noise, we can think of these kind of figuring it out after the fact. Oh well.

A

So they input their what it was for know.

G

These girls kind of she kind of thought about it,.

B

G

Well, no one would miss her, for this isn't referring to is the one that.

H

G

They simply there's like four under hotel-motel and that's heads to bends, so you have to quantify that and I haven't seen the application.

B

But we have to use the hotel/motel relationship with them. Is this.

G

B

And then, but even though it's the hotel/motel evaluation sheet are still going to be considered under general front. No.

G

B

Under what Elmo? Yes,.

G

Whatever under that, because they're two very distinct application and requirements so like it's a hotel motel, they need to describe how they're bringing in that's too bad. How many and is he talking about that.

G

Automotive, you have to show that living in heads to bed that you believe people to come and stay in the hotel, business creation.

C

E

You know I think I got much work against them. I, don't know that I meant your mark, but you know I was just thinking you know, I was reading their application and they said one in four that ever every four people has an issue of mental health and addiction. This week you know Kate Spade, committed suicide, highly successful woman about 50 and.

E

G

The committee has a question like that: we are glad to take note of it and we will. We will reach out to the and we have four other ones and get your clarification and that's what you need well.

E

It'll really change this one for these three I think that if they submitted the wrong application, only no deadlines and all of this but I mean mental health- is a very important issue. Many communities don't address it. You know you see all the panhandlers some of those have mental health issues, addiction problems and if we can help I know, we don't have a lot of money, but.

E

It's a difficult thing to consider not giving them because they filed under the wrong application.

B

So you want to make a motion to send the application back to MHMR. Let them correct it. It can't be done not.

G

Back just advising that they applied, it was their intent to applying their what Emoto.

E

G

Patent basically.

C

B

Classification.

C

From them- and let them know that a portion of a point value, that's missing and.

E

How is it that they put heads to bends yeah.

B

Both ways they'd be the way they're gonna, promote short.

G

Well, if the implant is your general fund, then their hotel think they're right now, more.

E

G

Got it you're gonna, classify them.

I

Admit that the application is fun.

B

With cello yeah yeah, so that's we have to make the decision to put it over to Hotel, Motel or.

A

Just leave it where it is. We need to get clarification from the brain. Yes,.

B

That's the first thing you.

G

Ask me, and you submitting applications you're requesting for hotel-motel money. Then you have to consider them under that category. The application that's going on so everybody can get, could be further everybody if you're applying for general fund, that's for a separate type of funding activity, basic needs and activities and the community and that's a separate application, SEP separate scoring between your content. In this case it went under hotel-motel. So you need to consider than one does both categories, but it seems.

H

G

Thing might have meant to a blinder what we the speculation from our side. So.

E

Can we make a motion to get Clark okay.

G

You can ask for a suitable form, yeah.

J

Yeah don't go ahead. Is that.

B

The boy just went over.

G

In the streets application very go, Main Street submitted three applications. They come made an error and submit even a general fund. I think Priscilla submitted them. I mentioned, to my mind that she had made an error submitted under general fund issues at hotel-motel she's already submitted them. The board has taken a vote to accept that and she pitch it over to ultimate self service and a bishop will give you a copy of the magic.

C

Water today, I'm.

G

Not sure you ever had a good visit, it's all because, like you can't.

A

So they're the ndk Marwan, that's the one that we're going to get clarification. You.

G

Can leave it worked up right now about woman, just got scored, you can score it or you can wait on the holding. For that.

G

So, just to remind the committee you're getting a pianist okay important the person. The first process is a scoring to where you lift down and I. Think everybody already did their homework and we'll go.

G

Anthony buy a mini and everybody will announce our scoring and then we take the average of that score and we score that application and it must have a 70 or above to be considered for funding and then the second iteration is the hotel, motel and same process, and then you have time you might want to allocate funding to it or you wanted it for the next four minutes. Absolutely so.

A

If I'm saying we have pretty much everything as I read sports the general fund right, even with a maybe change of the border region, that's.

C

These days and that's that's things, I get a different motivation. If we're gonna do classification- and it makes me love it as far as the time everyone has. This would be a bit of this.

C

A

Cancer Society.

F

We thought around we'd say the organization.

I

Everybody gives.

F

Their score and then you do the average. That's right.

A

E

By organization.

J

A

Just go through the.

E

Averaging for each organization anytime, that way, we don't have all these numbers.

E

So we're going to Mercy Ministries first.

B

I gave them a score of 100.

G
