Presentation.
6A
is
our
first
quarter.
Financial
update,
miss
mccoy.
G
Thank
you,
mr
chair.
Today
we
have
joining
us
alexis,
lotero,
bradley,
flitch
and
andy
hawkins
from
our
team
to
review
the
first
quarter
financial
report
with
you
we're
gonna.
As
I
mentioned
before,
we're
gonna
give
a
brief
update
on
the
financial
reports.
G
The
entire
report
has
been
emailed
out
to
all
counselors
and
will
be
posted
on
our
website
as
well.
This
is
extremely
important,
of
course,
for
us
to
do
these
quarterly
reviews,
especially
in
a
year
where
our
revenues
are
so
uncertain.
So
we
really
look
forward
to
not
only
the
written
monthly
grt
updates
that
we
have
been
providing
to
the
committee,
but
also
these
quarterly
reports
to
be
able
to
review
how
our
major
revenue
sources
are
coming
in
as
well
as
how
our
major
expense
categories
are.
G
Looking,
I
think,
initially
in
this
first
presentation
after
the
first
quarter,
you
will
notice
comments
from
our
staff
and
comments
in
the
report
that
we
are
still
very
early
on
in
our
fiscal
year
to
be
making
any
significant
deviations
from
the
budget
that
was
approved
by
this
council
in
july.
So
as
this
was
being
put
together,
as
you
know,
in
the
last
few
weeks
we
have
gone
into
a
further
shutdown
period
than
we
were
in
from
july
august
and
september.
G
So
we,
the
revenue,
results
that
we
expect.
In
the
months
of
november
and
potentially
december,
we
will
be
seeing
a
very
different
picture
from
what
we
saw
from
july
through
september.
So
we
just
want
to
give
that
a
word
of
caution
as
we
are
going
into
and
reviewing
these
first
quarter
results
with
you.
We
are
still
very
taking
a
cautionary
approach
a
month
by
month
approach
to
managing
our
revenue
and
our
expenses.
G
H
Sure,
thank
you,
mary
and
thank
you,
mr
chair
and
members
of
the
committee.
The
first
quarter
report
of
course
looks
a
bit
different
than
previous
reports,
because
the
budget
looks
very
different
this
year.
H
As
you
all
know,
with
the
pandemic
situation
as
expected,
the
city's
revenues
are
much
lower
in
in
many
cases
than
have
we
have
seen
in
previous
years.
This
particularly
affects
the
gross
receipts
tax,
which
forms
the
largest
single
revenue
share
in
the
budget
and
particularly
in
the
case
of
the
general
fund,
a
very
significant
share
of
overall
expenses
or
overall
revenues.
Excuse
me,
and
because
of
this,
we
worked
at
the
budget
office
and
the
finance
department
worked
with
all
city
departments
extensively
over
this
year
to
the
budget
process
this
year.
H
In
order
to
reduce
their
budget
outlays,
we
took
several
steps,
including
holding
the
line
on
capital
purchases,
holding
vacancies
open
and
unfunded
and
various
other
steps
to
make
sure
that
we
would
meet
our
reduced
revenue
picture
but,
of
course,
now,
with
the
pandemic
seeming
to
surge.
Once
again,
it's
more
important
than
ever
that
we
hold
to
these
targets
and
because
the
you
know,
the
local
and
the
regional
economy,
of
course,
has
been
severely
impacted
by
the
pandemic.
H
With
that
said,
as
mary
mentioned
before,
we
have
not
seen
any
any
significant
deviations
from
our
budget
targets,
either
in
all
funds
picture
or
the
general
fund
picture.
H
Just
to
note
to
you
as
usual,
the
operating
budget
for
all
funds
includes
all
non-cip
funds,
because
cip
funds
tend
to
behave
a
bit
differently
by
their
multi-year
nature
and
the
fact
that
we
tend
to
bond
them
in
one
year
and
spend
them
in
subsequent
years.
They
kind
of
would
skewed
the
picture
if
we
included
them
here.
So
this
is
focused
more
on
operating
funds.
H
But
again,
as
you
can
see
there,
we
are
not
currently
projecting
any
variants
from
the
budget
at
this
point,
and
such
is
the
case
also
for
the
general
fund.
H
But
as
mary
noted,
the
fiscal
year
is
still
quite
young,
so
there
are
still
plenty
of
time
for
positive
or
negative
trends
to
develop.
That
would
cause
us
to
refine
these
projections
later
on.
So
we're
definitely
keeping
an
eye
on
it
and
we'll
continue
to
work
with
departments
on
making
sure
that
we're
still
develop
delivering
a
good
level
of
service
for
the
community.
H
While
meeting
the
this
unique
financial
challenge
that
we're
meeting
right
now
and
that
will
conclude
my
portion
of
the
presentation
and
I
will
stand
for
questions
or,
if
not,
I
will
turn
it
over
to
brad.
I
Thank
you
chair
good
evening,
everyone.
So
the
most
important
the
first
thing
we're
talking
about
is:
I
want
to
make
a
distinction.
Gross
receipts
are
sales
to
the
companies
that
pay
taxes
and
gross
receipt
tax
is
what
the
city
receives
in
payments
from
the
state,
and
so
when
I
talk
about
gross
receipts,
we're
looking
at
the
first
chart
and
in
this
case
we're
comparing
1990
or
excuse
me
2019
and
2020,
not
fiscal
years
but
actual
years
and
by
month,
so
you
can
see
how
the
businesses
are
doing.
I
This
is
really
about.
How
is
the
economy
of
santa
fe
doing
so?
I'd
like
to
highlight
you
know
the
most
important
number
was
just
occurred
in
september
and
we
actually
had
year-over-year
growth
in
the
retail
sector.
Why
is
that
taxable
retail
sector?
Why
is
that
important?
That's
the
it's
31
of
all
grocery
seats.
I
The
other
thing
you
would
want
to
point
out
is
that
you
know
professional,
scientific
and
technology
has
been
growing
for
the
year,
and
utilities
has
been
a
steady
grower
of
like
7.4
percent
for
the
year.
So
those
are
all
highlights,
then,
if
we
scroll
down
the
next
important
thing,
is
the
gross
receipt
tax
and
that's
what's
distributed
to
the
city.
I
I
You
can
see
a
good
consistency
year
over
year,
relative
to
the
budget,
fy20
came
in
better
than
expected,
but
with
an
adjustment,
it
came
in
almost
exactly
on
budget,
and
since
our
budget
this
year
was
based
on
fy
20's
budget,
we're
in
great
shape
that
we're
actually
coming
in
right
about
expected
down
20
percent.
I
So
this
is
this
shows
that
we're
down
23,
but
it's
largely
because
of
the
distribution
in
july
2019..
Moving
on
next,
we
have
grocery
seats,
is
the
single
largest
most
material.
I
I
It
doesn't
get
really
interesting
until
the
next
few
months
when
people
pay.
Otherwise,
you
know,
there's
really
not
much
to
say
about
property
tax
and
then,
lastly,
I'd
like
to
cover
lodgers
tax
lodgers
tax,
you
know
we've
got
three
months
of
good
data.
It
shows
that
we're
coming
in
about
a
third
of
where
we
were
in
previous
months.
I
Well,
I
just
wanna.
The
budget
was
built
based
on
quarters.
First
quarter.
Second
quarter.
Third
quarter.
Fourth
quarter,
so
the
first
two
quarters
we
expected
only
25
percent
of
revenue
of
the
fy.
Our
budget
was,
you
know,
down
75
for
the
first
two
quarters,
so
this
is
actually
a
little
better
than
expected,
but
I
must
caution
you,
given
the
shutdown
and
restrictions
of
this
new
and
getting
more
deep
certain
on
the
virus.
I
A
Okay,
questions
from
the
committee
councilwoman
v
hill
koppler,
you
have
joined
us.
Did
you
have
any
questions.
I
Basically,
the
federal
reserve
cut
interest
rates
to
zero
in
march
2020
at
the
beginning
of
the
pandemic,
and
interest
rates
have
really
gone
nowhere
other
than
there
they
have
been
falling
consistently
it's
as
securities
roll
off.
We
put
them
into
the
money
market
fund.
Our
strategy
right
now
is
to
be.
There
is
really
no
reason
to
take
any
risk,
and
so
we
just
let
the
money
accumulate
in
the
money
market
funds
be
risk.
I
Adverse
our
best
month
in
2019
was
700
000
a
month
in
interest
income,
we're
now
at
90
000
a
month
and
falling.
A
Item,
okay,
miss
mccoy:
do
you
want
to
give
us
a
summary.
G
I
think
the
it's
very
early
in
the
fiscal
year
after
three
months
of
results,
we
are
right
on
pace
with
the
levels
that
were
budgeted
by
the
governing
body
in
july.
We
will
continue
to
provide
monthly
updates
on
grt
we'll,
as
brad
indicated,
he
gave
you
some
highlights
on
our
economy.
You
know
over
the
summer.
Construction
is
strong,
we're
seeing
a
bounce
back
in
retail
for
the
month
of
september.
We'll
try
to
continue
to
give
you
these
highlights
for
our
for
our
local
economy.
G
So
we
can
understand
how
how
we
proceed,
but
at
this
point
at
least
especially
for
the
general
fund,
it's
it's
too
early
to
make
any
serious
budget
adjustments,
as
we
can
see
from
one
week
to
the
next,
we
can
go
into
a
shutdown,
go
into
the
red
zone
or
go
to
the
yellow
zone
or
go
back
to
the
red
zone.
So
it's
we're
still
continuing
to
have
a
very
cautious
approach.
G
This
early
in
the
fiscal
year
with
the
uncertainty
that
we
continue
to
face
with
how
the
pandemic
is
impacting
our
local
economy.
A
Okay,
great
all
right,
then,
that
that
brings
us
to
our
action
items,
the
items
that
were
pulled
off
consent,
the
first
being
item
h,
which
is
consideration
of
bill,
which
is
an
ordinance
amending
section,
14-8,
point
14
c
sfcc
1987
to
add
a
reference
to
the
impact
fee
service
area,
councilwoman,
cassette
sanchez.
E
Thank
you
very
much,
mr
chair.
I
just
had
one
quick
question.
I
was
looking
at
the
list
of
projects
that
were
included
and
we
had
on
two
different
land
use.
Cases
had
spoken
about
the
rufina
lopez,
lane
intersection
and
utilizing
impact
fees
for
improvements
there,
and
I
did
not
see
that
listed
anywhere.
So
I
wanted
to
get
some
information
on
whether
that
will
still
be
able
to
utilize
impact
fees
and
why
it's
not
on
the
list
right
now.
A
Okay,
mr
isakson,
did
you
have
an
answer.
J
I
would
actually
like
to
defer
to
carlos
gamora
he's
been
working
on
this
project,
doing
a
great
job
and
is
most
up
to
speed
with
both
the
eligible
projects
list
and
where
things
stand.
K
Yes,
I
do
mr
chair
and
counselor
cassette
sanchez.
So
right
now,
rafina
in
lopez
lane
is
on
the
projects
list.
The
proposal
is
for
it
to
be
on
there
as
an
eligible
project
for
up
to
1.8
million
dollars.
K
If
we
look
at,
I
don't
actually
have
the
page
in
front
of
me,
so
the
the
bill.
The
bill
item
only
has
the
2014
ifcip
the
the
earlier
item.
Actually,
the
resolution
is
what
is
approving
the
ifcip
and
that
resolution
does
have
it.
If
you
look
at
the
ifcip
it's
at
the
very
end
of
that,
it's
page
73
of
the
proposed
ifcip
I
did
also
want
to
comment.
Does
that?
Does
that
answer
your
question?
Have
you
found
it
on
there.
K
Absolutely
I
did
also
want
to
bring
up
counselor
view.
Real
did
ask
for
the
same
presentation
I
gave
to
public
works
and
utilities
committee,
and
so
I
can
also
go
through
that
as
well.
That
covers
both
the
the
resolution
approving
the
ifcip,
which
we're
talking
about
right
now
and
also
the
bill
that
would
be
changing
and
assessing
impact
fees.
So
so,
if
any
counselors
would
like
me
to
go
into
that
presentation,
I
can
we
certainly
don't
have
to
if
you
feel
like
your,
your
questions
have
been
satisfied.
A
Okay,
are
there
any
other
questions
from
the
committee.
K
The
counselor
b,
real
the
the
presentation,
hasn't
been
sent
through
email.
I
believe
it
is
in
the
minutes
for
the
public
works
and
utilities
committee.
I
will
say
that
the
presentation
is
mainly
some
pictures
of
tables
and
doesn't
have
a
lot
of
text
explaining
what
that
is.
But
if,
if
the,
if
the
governing
body
memo
is
somewhat
clear,
I
think
that
that
is
the
best
and
most
concise
summary
of
what
the
resolution
and
the
ordinance
are.
A
B
A
B
A
Okay,
that
item
passes
that
our
next
item,
then,
is
I,
which
is
a
request
for
approval,
to
enter
into
a
grant
agreement
with
the
new
mexico
environment
department
to
provide
reimbursable
funding
for
electric
vehicle
charging
stations
at
city's
public
parking
garages.
The
grant
funds
are
reimbursable
in
the
total
amount
of
twenty
six
thousand
three
hundred
and
three
dollars.
Councilwoman
cassette
sanchez.
E
Thank
you
so
much,
mr
chair,
I
just
had
a
question
about
the
placement
of
these
charging
stations
and
that
they
are
all
located
downtown.
My
understanding
is
that
these
are
for
public
use.
Is
that
correct?
Not
just
for
city.
E
Okay,
so
I
was
just
curious
about
the
the
placement
of
them
all
being
downtown
and
not
having
equal
access
on
districts
well,
this
outside
of
town
district,
3
district
4
to
charging
stations,
and
if
you
could
give
me
some
more
information
on
why
it
was
decided
to
put
all
of
these
at
these
locations.
L
Certainly
so
we
submitted
an
application
to
the
environment
department
for
one
dual
port
charging
station,
meaning
it
serves
two
parking
spaces
for
each
of
our
public
parking
garages
and
public
parking
lots,
so
that
was
that
was
decided
just
because
that's
you
know
at
this
point
basic
infrastructure.
L
We
need
at
those
facilities,
it's
worth,
noting
that
a
part
of
recommendations
that
are
coming
before
you
in
january
from
the
public
works
department,
from
a
follow
up
from
our
investment
grade
audit
at
our
facilities
for
energy
efficiency
and
water
saving
improvements
will
include
a
charging
station
at
the
south
side
library,
as
well
as
the
police
station.
L
E
Okay,
thank
you.
I'm
happy
to
hear
that
there
will
be
a
proposal
for
southside
library.
Has
the
g
triple
c
parking
lot
also
been
considered.
L
So
we're
also
some
funding
that
we're
using
to
cover
our
share,
for
this
grant
is
capital
outlay
funding
coming
from
the
new
mexico
legislature
and
we'll
be
able
to
use
that
to
install
charging
stations
for
electric
vehicles
for
our
fleet.
I've
been
talking
with
john
munoz
about
a
charging
station
for
one
of
his
vehicles.
That
would
be
parked
at
g
triple
c.
That
could
add
a
charging
station
to
the
public
facing
side
of
that
facility.
E
Okay,
wonderful,
that's
that's
good
to
know
good
information!
Thank
you
so
much.
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
we
are
considering
equitable
access
to
charging
stations
throughout
the
city.
So
I
do
appreciate
you
letting
us
know.
What's
what's
coming
down
the
pike
as
well.
Those
are
all
my
questions.
Thank
you.
A
C
A
F
You,
mr
chair,
just
had
a
couple
questions
I
think.
Overall,
I
think
it's
really
thorough,
there's
a
lot
of
good
pieces
to
that
it
seems
a
little
late.
We
were
doing
this.
We
usually
get
this
ahead
of
time
to
go
back
and
forth
about
what
should
be
included,
but-
and
I
think
it
actually
hits
the
highlights
of
what
we
we
want
to
consider
and
what
we
want
known
to
be
our
priorities
for
the
legislature,
and
I
was
just
curious.
It
said
that
in
public
works
it
was
passed
without
recommendation.
M
Thank
you
chairman
councillor
bureau.
I
don't
remember
that
happening,
so
I
don't
know
if
jesse
does
on
the
call
too.
A
Councilwoman
v
hill
couplers
on
public
works,
councilwoman
v.
Koppler.
Do
you?
Can
you
recall
what
we
did
at
public
works.
D
You,
mr
chair,
I
can
remember
that
I
had
questions
that
weren't
answered
and
I
was
wanting
to
hear
the
answers
to
the
questions
prior
to
voting
and
I'm
not
sure
that
any
other
counselors
had
questions.
I
can't
recall,
but
I
can
tell
you
what
my
questions
were
and,
and
that
is
on
the
resolution
on
page
five
line
10.
D
F
To
that
that
I
have
similar
questions
too,
mr
chair,
and
I'm
wondering,
though,
if
you
could
remember
councilwoman
if
wyatt
didn't
get
a
vote
or
it
it
moved
forward
with.
That
recommendation.
Is
that
because
everybody
had
questions
or.
D
Well,
I
I
guess
you
know
and
well
there
was
another
question
about
supporting
a
tax
on
unoccupied
homes,
or
I
mean
removing
the
three
percent
tax
cap
on
unoccupied
homes,
which
has
never
has
not
in
a
long
time
that
I
can
even
recall
when
we
discussed
that
as
a
council.
D
You
know
what
we
thought
about
that.
So
that
was
the
other
item
that
we
had
some
misgivings
about
and
whether
or
not
we
were
ever
going
to
have
that
on
any
agenda.
So
there
was,
I
think,
some
doubt
because
we
didn't
have
answers,
but
I
don't
know
any
other
questions.
I
can't
recall
any
other
questions
that
anyone
else
had
not
to
say
there
weren't
any,
but
at
least
those
were
too
big,
especially
well,
the
second
home
property
tax
and
the
occupancy
tax,
which
could
could
mean
a
whole
lot
of
different
things.
D
So
I
don't
think
the
the
committee
felt
like
we
could
move
forward.
I
think
councilor
garcia
is
online
too,
and-
and
maybe
he
has
other-
I
remembrances
of
questions
that
were
that
were
at
the
meeting.
A
Okay,
mr
guillen,
do
you
recall
what
the
public
works
department
ultimately
decided
with
this
item.
N
The
public
works
utilities
committee
move
this
forward
with
no
recommendation
because
they
wanted
answers
to
council
v
hill
coupler's
questions
before
they
took
a
took
a
motion
on
it
up
or
down.
So
in
response
to
those
questions,
the
the
occupancy
taxes,
the
lodgers
tax
and
in
2019
senator
worth
proposed
an
amendment
that
would
dedicate
some
of
the
funds
to
affordable
housing.
So
the
language
in
the
legislative
priorities
is,
I
believe,
related
to
that
bill
that
died
in
committee.
N
The
three
percent-
the
elimination
of
the
three
percent
cap
on
tax
increases
for
non
owner
occupied
residences,
is
something
that
representative
mcqueen
has
proposed
at
the
legislature,
and
it
has
been
in
our
priorities
list.
For
I
know
it
was
definitely
last
year.
I
believe
it
was
the
year
before
so
that
these
are
both
of
these
were
in
last
year,
if
not
the
year
before,
as
well.
A
F
Mr
chair
and
thanks
for
that
clarity,
jesse
just
to
understand
what
why
it
didn't
pass.
I
guess
I
was.
I
also
had
that
same
question
about
occupancy
tax
and
thanks
for
explaining
that
piece,
I'm
just
wondering
what's
the
process
of
potentially
considering
other
ones,
and
I
did
go
through
the
with
the
municipal
league
legislative
priorities
and
I
think
there
were
some
good
ones
on
that.
There
were
some
related
to
public
safety,
I
wasn't
quite
sure
or
in
agreement
with
how
they
worded
their
resolutions.
F
F
I
think
that's
something
that's
important
to
add
to
the
list
and
then
I
was
curious
if
we
needed
to
state
specifically
as
it
relates
to
public
safety,
our
stance
on
banning
no
knock
warrants
and
having
the
state
consider
that
piece
that
wasn't
listed
specifically
on
the
municipal
league's
legislative
priorities.
F
They
were
very
general
and
vague
about
what
they
wanted
to
do.
They
they
talked
about
creating
a
police
reform
committee,
which
I
don't
think
is
a
bad
idea.
I
just
wanted
to
see
if
there
were
certain
things
that
we
have
already
made
statements
on,
as
it
relates
to
public
safety
to
add
that
to
this
list
of
priorities,
and
then
I
know
well,
I
had
another
question,
but
I
guess
I'll
I'll
leave
it.
F
I
just
wanted
to
see
if
what
your
thoughts
are
on
that
piece
like
making
amendments
now
or
the
next
step,
I
think
is
it
goes
on
to
council
right
next
week.
F
N
And
council
on
the
ninth,
thank
you,
mr
chair
councillor.
If
you
would
like
to
propose
amendments
and
I'm
sorry,
I
can't
remember
if
you're
on
quality
of
life
or
not,
but
if
you
are,
then
you
could
you
could
maybe
draft
up
more
specific
language
and
propose
them
then,
and
I
can
work
with
you
on
that,
and
so
we
can
include
some
of
the
items
you
mentioned,
including
nornok
warrants
as
specific
therefore
be
resolved
clauses.
In
regards
to
the
municipal
league
resolutions.
In
previous
years
we've
we
haven't
adopted.
N
We
haven't
attached
all
of
them
as
as
items
that
we
support
we
sort
of
picked
and
chosen
this
year.
We
did
just
adopt
them
as
a
slate,
but
that
doesn't
mean
that
we
can
that
we,
we
can't
take
some
of
them
off
if,
if
they're
ones,
that
think
anybody
just
determines
that
you
don't
agree
with.
F
Yeah,
I
was
thinking,
maybe
more
of
just
a
statement
and
the
resolution
saying
that
I
forgot
there's
some
somewhere.
It
states
and
I'll
look
for
it
again
about
endorsing
legislation,
no
wait,
something
related
to
supporting
the
municipal
league's
legislative
priorities,
but
maybe
we
just
make
it
more
general,
like
some
of
the
some
of
them,
or
I
don't
know,
I
I
need
to
think
about
that
language,
so
yeah.
I
think
that
that
would
be
important
not
to
just
generally
state
that
we
support
every
single
thing
that
they
put
on
there
on
their
list.
N
Mr
chair,
in
years
past,
in
so
exhibit
a
is,
is
the
municipal
league
resolutions.
What
we've
done
in
the
past
is
just
on
exhibit
a
it
lists.
The
ones
that
we
support
right
now
exhibit
a
is
just
all
of
the
municipal
league
resolutions,
so
in
place
of
that,
if,
if
a
majority
decide
to
do
that,
we
can
pull
out
the
ones
that
we
don't
want
to
support
and
then
just
list
those
switch
up
exhibit
a
and
just
list
the
ones
that
we
want
to
support
there
in
place
of
the
existing
exhibit
a.
F
Okay,
so
maybe
it's
that
further
resolved
section
that
just
needs
a
little
bit
of
tweaking
about
the
city
lobbyists
to
work
with
the
new
mexico
municipal
league
in
support
of
their
2021
legislative
priorities,
where
the
city
would
benefit
from
the
passage
of
such
an
initiative.
Maybe
we
just
need
to
tweak
that
a
little
bit
so
I'll.
Look
at
that.
I
did
have
a
question
on
what
we
were
referring
to
on
page
five
of
the
resolution.
F
It's
a
further
resolved
piece
on
line
16
about
the
governing
body,
supports
and
endorses
any
legislation
that
would
increase
funding
for
the
new
mexico
tourism
department
for
use
in
advertising
a
statewide
co-op
grant
program,
a
personal
personnel
expansion
that
restores
the
reduction
in
services
at
the
department
between
2010
and
2018..
I
don't
understand
that.
Is
there
someone
that
could
elaborate
on
what
that
means.
N
Mr
chair
counselor,
randy
randall,
will
be
the
best
one
to
respond
to
that,
but
my
understanding
is
that
there
was
a
pretty
much
a
reduction
in
the
staff
statewide
really
during
the
martinez
administration,
including
at
the
tourism
department.
So
the
idea
is
that
we
support
funding
for
the
tourism
department
back
to
where
it
was
or
more
under
the
richardson
administration
to
promote
tourism
in
the
state,
including
in
santa
fe,.
F
Okay,
that
that's
helpful,
I
wasn't
sure
the
time
period,
but
now
that
makes
sense.
That's
all
the
questions
have
now
I'll
make
some
amendments
for
language
adjustments
for
wednesday's
meeting.
That's.
A
E
Yeah.
Thank
you,
mr
chair.
I
was
just
wondering
jesse
if
you
might
be
able
to
point
me
in
the
direction
where
I
can
get
more
information
on.
E
E
E
I
just
was
wanting.
I
was
just
wondering
if
there's
some
more
background
info,
I
could
read
on
where
the
municipal
league
is
coming
from
with
this
piece.
It
just
kind
of
mentions
sensitive
situations-
it's
not
very
clear,
so
I
would
just
be
interested
in
digging
into
the
background
on
this
resolution.
If
we
have
that
information
or
if
I
just
need
to
go
digging
on
my
own.
C
F
A
Okay,
anything
else,
counseling
cassette
sanchez,
anything
else
from
the
committee,
then
what
is
the
pleasure
of
the
committee.
A
C
B
A
G
Chair
counselors,
I'm
happy
to
give
you
an
update
on
our
cares:
act
grant
funding
from
the
state.
As
you
are
aware,
we
were
awarded
17
and
a
half
million
of
the
17
and
a
half
million.
The
city
has
already
encumbered
12
million
and
that's
a
little
bit
under
what
70
percent
that
has
been
encumbered
of
that
12
million
we've
already
sent
expended
out
the
door
made
payments
for
six
and
a
half
million
of
that.
G
So
that's
a
little
under
40
percent
of
that
of
that
17
and
a
half
million
yeah
for
a
little
under
40
percent.
So
what
we
have
to
look
forward
to
over
the
next
four
weeks
is
continuing
to
expend
what
has
been
encumbered.
G
If
you
recall,
there's
about
5
million
that
has
been
approved
for
direct
community
assistance,
that
direct
community
assistance
will
go
to
citizens
of
the
city
of
santa
fe
in
the
form
of
rental
assistance,
utility
payments
and
food
assistance,
and
there
are
multiple
different
local
nonprofits
that
are
assisting
us
with
distributing
these
funds
to
to
residents
in
santa
fe.
G
So
this
is
a
very
good
progress
that
we've
made
so
far.
We
are
will
be
submitting
our
first
reimbursement
requests
to
dfa
this
week.
We've
been
hard
at
work
to
make
sure
meeting
with
dfa
and
meeting
with
our
city
departments
to
make
sure
we
have
all
the
right
documents
in
order.
The
first
request
will
be
about
5
million
this
week
and
then
we
look
forward
to
making
the
second
request
next
week
for
the
remaining
1.5
million
that
has
already
been
spent
so
again,
very
good
progress.
G
We
have
all
hands
on
deck,
from
the
initial
eligibility
approvals
by
our
legal
department
to
the
procurement,
making
sure
we're
following
our
procurement
roles
by
our
procurement
and
purchasing
division
and
then
all
the
way
through
actually
making
those
payments
out
the
door.
So
we're
very
happy
to
report
the
progress
that
we've
made
in
the
last
few
months.
G
Of
this,
the
balance
is
about
five
and
a
half
million
that
we're
working
towards
encumbering.
I
have
several
requests.
G
You
know
for
pos
and
contracts
in
my
queue
that
I'm
reviewing
and
that
we
reviewed
with
dfa
to
ensure
the
eligibility
requirements
are
met
from
the
cares
act
from
the
treasury
guidance
that
has
been
issued.
In
addition
to
that,
we
will
be
submitting
reimbursement
requests
for
prior
period
expenses
as
well,
ppe
personnel
expenses
that
we
have
incurred
going
back
to
the
spring,
so
again
all
hands
on
deck.
G
To
get
these
dollars
out
into
our
community
and
to
ensure
that
we
are
being
diligent
about
the
projects
that
we
are
approving
to
maximize
the
reimbursements
that
we
will
be
getting
from
dfa.
But
we
do
plan
to
seek
reimbursement
for
the
full
17
and
a
half
million,
and
we
have
communicated
that
to
dfa
as
well.
A
Okay,
great
questions
for
miss
mccoy
on
that
councilwoman
villarreal.
F
G
Out
so
your
payroll
expenses
or
invoices
for
services
or
goods
that
has
already
been
paid
out,
got
it
that's
a
little
under
40
of
what
of
our
total
allocation.
G
G
We
met
with
them
today
to
again
cross
all
our
t's
dot,
our
dot
all
our
eyes
to
make
sure
we
had
everything
in
order,
so
it
will
be
approved,
and
then
next
week
we
plan
to
submit
for
reimbursement
the
remaining
1.5
million,
but
has
already
been
of
the
six
and
a
half
million
that
has
already
been
extended.
G
Okay
and
that
number
potentially
will
be
higher
we're
asking
departments
to
update
us
on
a
weekly
basis
with
this
information,
so
we're
making
sure
that
we're
staying
on
track
in
this
month
of
december
to
submit
our
reimbursement
request
to
dfa
excellent.
Thank
you.
C
G
Yeah,
I
think
I'm
I'm
very
encouraged,
because
the
number
that
we
actually
have
encumbered
is
closer
to
70
percent.
You
know-
and
we
have
about
four
weeks
left
and
again
the
the
remainder
that
five
and
a
half
million
that's
remaining
12
million's,
already
been
encumbered.
The
five
and
a
half
million
remaining
will
be
a
mix
of
expenditures
that
will
have
going
forward.
G
You
know
at
these
new
projects
that
you've
heard
so
much
about
and
that
you
approved
and
then
submitting
reimbursement
requests
for
again
some
of
those
expenses
going
back
to
the
spring
that
are
eligible
again,
our
that
is
our
primary
focus
to
ensure
that
what
we
are
submitting
for
reimbursement
we
get
reimbursed
for
every
single
dollar
of
that
17
and
a
half
million
that
is
that
was
awarded
and
then
looking
forward
ahead
to
next
year.
A
Okay,
anything
else
miss
mccoy.
G
That's
all
for
tonight.
Thank
you
all.
A
Okay,
matters
from
the
committee.
A
Okay
matters
from
the
chair.
Our
next
meeting
is
january,
4th
2021,
so
