B
A
A
Okay
here
we
go
counselor
travis
here,
councillor
lee
garcia
here,
councilor
michael
garcia,
president
councillor
royale
president
councillor
cassio,
here
moving
on
to
oh,
we
do
have
a
quorum
moving
on
to
approval
of
the
agenda.
Are
there
any
changes
from
staff
or
the
committee?
And
if
not,
what
are
the
wishes
of
the
committee?
A
All
those
in
favor
say
aye
aye
any
opposed
or
abstain,
and
that
motion
passes
approval
of
the
consent
agenda.
We
did
not
have
anything
pulled
off
of
the
consent
agenda
today.
Is
that
still
accurate
for
members
of
the
committee?
Or
did
anybody
change
their
mind
and
if
not,
what
are
the
wishes
of
the
committee.
A
A
motion
in
a
second
all
this
in
favor,
say
aye.
Any
opposed
or
abstain
motion
passes.
Okay.
Moving
on
to
our
presentations
today,
so
the
first
one
we
have
is
updates
from
the
santa
fe
food
policy.
Council
advocacy
how
individuals,
groups
and
local
government
influence
change.
So
we
have
david
sunberg
and
pam
roy
and
maria
sanchez
tucker
all
here
to
present,
and
I
should
actually
state
david
sunberg-
is
the
chair
of
the
santa
fe
food
policy,
council
and
pam
roy
is
a
member
of
the
council
and
then,
of
course,
maria
sanchez
tucker.
D
All
right
good
evening,
thank
you
so
much
madam
chair
and
council
members
for
having
us
tonight.
It's
really
an
honor
to
present
to
you,
and
I
also
want
to
thank
you
for
making
the
time.
I
know
that
you're
very
busy
people
and-
and
you
have
lots
of
presentations
and
things
to
consider
what
we
bring
tonight.
We
can
bring
up
the
slides.
A
Sure
can
we
get
some
assistance
with
getting
the
slides
up.
D
We
are
here
to
really
discuss
the
importance
of
local
and
regional
advocacy
through
local
governance,
to
really
impact
state,
regional
and
federal
government
policy,
especially
in
the
segments
of
the
local
food
sectors
and
programs.
As
many
of
you
know
that
our
advocacy
efforts
here
on
a
local
system-
oh
gosh,
thank
you
so
much
counselor.
D
It
can
make
a
tremendous
impact
through
both
the
funding
and
the
policies
I'm
just
going
to
spend
about
seven
or
eight
minutes
kind
of
going
through
a
few
quick
slides
with
you
and
I'm
going
to
tee
up
my
colleague,
kendall
chavez
from
the
governor's
office
to
talk
really
mostly
about
the
state
policy
impacts.
D
Sorry
that
was
my
initial
slide.
There
we
go
so
I
do
want
to
acknowledge
and
thank
the
new
mexico
food
and
ag
policy
council.
D
They
put
a
tremendous
amount
of
work,
putting
these
policy
recommendations
and
priorities
together
for
all
of
new
mexico,
the
santa
fe
food
policy
council,
actually
allies
with
the
new
mexico
food
and
ag
policy
council
on
these
priorities
and
I've
drawn
out
from
their
very
large
and
deep
diving
packet
of
information,
the
issues
that
are
top
of
mind
for
us
that
we
prioritize
as
well
as
the
ones
that
mostly
impact
santa
fe
more
deeply
and
richly,
and
I
want
to
thank
pam
roy
who's
actually
also
with
the
new
mexican
food
and
ag
policy
council
for
all
of
her
work
and
putting
this
together
and
for
sharing
it
with
us,
because
it
causes
us
not
to
redouble
these
efforts.
D
We
draw
out
some
of
these
recommendations,
our
priority
briefs
and
we're
going
to
be
recommending
representing
to
the
council
briefly
in
a
very
short
period
of
time,
maybe
another
month
or
so
asking
for
a
resolution
by
the
city
and
a
similar
one
to
the
county.
Supporting
these
efforts.
The
reason
we
go
through
this
process
and
we've
done
this
for
the
last
several
years
is
then
it
gives
us
the
words
and
the
language
to
be
able
to
go
to
those
partners.
D
They
go
to
state
and
federal
governments
and
say
these
are
the
priorities
of
santa
fe.
This
is
what's
important
to
us
and
our
people,
and
then
we
draw
down
on
that,
and
we
say
we
need
these
funding
streams.
We
need
these
programs,
we
need
these
priorities
that
we
can
implement
on
our
local
level.
We've
been
on
the
next
slide,
two
things
that
are
upcoming
at
the
federal
level.
One
is
the
child
nutrition
reauthorization.
D
D
They
impact
over
12
000
students
in
santa
fe
public
schools.
Imagine
all
those
meals
over
the
course
of
a
year,
all
those
meals
after
school
programs
and
all
those
meals
and
summer
and
backpack
programs.
So
those
funding
in
those
programs
are
tremendously
important
to
feeding
our
young
people
and
without
those
funding
dollars
without
those
policies
and
priorities,
and
without
our
word
and
our
stamp
of
approval
on
those
things,
we
might
not
be
getting
the
things
that
are
actually
appropriate
to
our
communities.
D
Next
is
a
farm
bill.
Every
five
years
the
farm
bill
gets
re-upped
and
re-voted
on
it's
a
big
one.
It's
over
400
billion
dollars
spent
over
five
years
with
programs
and
priorities.
Three
quarters
of
that
go
to
feeding
programs
on
here.
You'll
see
I
put
the
the
snap:
that's
the
supplemental
nutrition
assistance
program.
There
are
a
vast
array
of
new
mexicans
and
santa
fans
who
receive
snap
benefits.
D
D
And
I
can
tell
you
that
last
year
we
received
over
350
dollars
that
went
directly
to
our
farmers,
so
three
hundred
fifty
thousand
dollars
to
approximately
110
farmers,
just
at
the
santa
fe
markets.
Just
at
the
santa
fe
markets,
that's
huge
dollars
that
are
make
or
break
for
a
lot
of
our
farmers,
who
are
really
almost
assistance
living
and
those
double
up.
D
Food
bucks
are
absolutely
critical
to
this
community
because
they
double
the
dollars
on
local
foods,
for
people
in
our
community,
so
not
only
they
go
being
able
to
go
and
just
buy
food,
they're,
buying
high
quality,
local,
nutritious
food,
and
that
nutrition
access
is
absolutely
critical
to
people
who
otherwise
might
not
be
able
to
afford
it
that
I
didn't
want
to
dive
too
deeply
onto
the
the
federal
policies,
because
I
know
you're
very
aware
of
how
the
processes
work
and
I
wanted
to
go
on
to
some
local
impact
recommendations
that
we're
taking
on
here.
D
We
have
some
low
hanging
fruit,
pun,
intended
public,
transgender,
real
passion
project
for
it
over.
We
actually
had
to
really
back
off
a
lot
of
our
food
policy
council.
D
Emergency
feeding,
relief
programs
we're
diving
back
into
this.
Now
we
would
like
to
re-engage
with
the
council
in
terms
of
talking
about
what
are
the
places
and
where
the
places
within
departments
where
local
food
procurement
can
happen.
We've
had
some
great
conversations,
regina
rinaldi
of
senior
services
in
the
past,
and
one
of
the
recommendations
that
he's
made
is
actually
shifting
the
policies
to
provide
intergenerational
meals.
We
have
a
lot
of
families
in
in
santa
fe
and
new
mexico,
where
there's
multi-generational
families,
grand
prix
or
grandchildren.
D
If
they
cannot
eat
meals
together,
they
are
less
likely
to
access
any
programs,
the
rules
so
that
we
use
our
local
dollars
the
money
that
the
city
and
the
county
put
into
programs
and
use
those
to
support
intergenerational
meals,
because
they
know
the
city
puts
money
both
into
into
youth
programs
into
homeless
programs
into
senior
programs,
and
things
like
that.
But
we
tend
to
use
the
rules
that
the
federal
government
and
the
state
provide
to
advise
the
way
that
we
do
our
feeding
programs.
D
We
could
shift
those
dollars,
spend
the
federal
dollars
on
the
rules
and
things
that
they
allow
for
spend
our
local
dollars
on
other
things.
So
just
our
recommendation
is
is
to
direct
staff
to
investigate
all
those
policies
and
priorities
and
be
able
to
move
them.
So
we
have
different
pockets
of
money.
We
can
intentionally
spend
our
local
dollars
on
local
foods
and
have
a
greater
impact
on
the
community.
Every
one
dollar
spent
locally
with
a
local
vendor.
D
D
Next
we'd
like
to
talk
about
bigger
and
longer
engagement,
and
that
is
storage
and
transportation.
We're
hearing
over
and
over
and
over
again
in
our
policy
networks
that
our
local
and
regional
food
system
doesn't
work
for
our
farmers
and
vendors,
because
we
don't
have
enough
places
to
aggregate
and
to
transport
food
safely
and
rely.
D
The
city
and
government
owns
a
lot
of
vehicles.
It
owns
a
lot
of
resources.
It
asks
the
city
to
actually
do
a
comprehensive
study
in
terms
of
what
are
all
those
resources
that
it
owns
and
operates,
and
what
is
the
capacity
level
that
exists
right
now?
Is
there?
Is
there
extended
capacity
where
we
have
storage
that
could
be
used
for
storing
and
aggregating
local
products
so
that
those
products
could
be
bought
into
institutional
practices
through
the
aggregation?
D
So
we
have
a?
We
have
15
small
farmers.
None
of
them
could
produce
enough
for
any
one
program,
but
together
collectively
they
can,
if
they
have
an
aggregation
point
in
a
system
to
do
it.
So
these
are
mostly
studies
at
this
point,
we're
asking
for,
but
we're
asking
that
staff
time
be
applied
to
do
it.
So
that
way
we
have
better
information
and
deeper
information
and
better
relationships
with
staff
to
be
able
to
have
these
back
and
forth
questions
and
answer
sessions
about
what
can
we
do
better?
D
Finally,
supporting
agriculture
and
food
system
workforce
program:
this
is
a
really
interesting
one
and
one.
I
absolutely
love,
because
we
have
so
many
young
people
in
this
community
who
are
getting
disengaged
right,
we're
losing
them
because
we're
not
providing.
Maybe
the
things
that
tickles
their
natures
and
tickles
their
fancy,
what
if
we
provide
more
opportunities
for
them,
providing
opportunities
through
urban
agriculture
or
growing
and
cultivating
food
or
processing
food?
They
may
understand
many
of
them
that
oh,
this
food
that
I'm
working
with
provides
for
my
family.
D
It
provides
for
my
community
and
that
can
be
a
very
powerful
and
intentional
way
of
going
about
developing
a
workforce
program
that
both
tickles
the
fancy
and
engages
young
people,
as
well
as
people
who
are
aging
and
maybe
have
disengaged
from
other
other
jobs.
Food
is
a
passion
project
for
a
lot
of
people.
D
They
sit
and
eat
it
and
they
share
it
so
having
that
love
and
that
consideration
for
it
is
a
great
way
for
people
to
engage,
I'm
going
to
leave
it
there
for
questions,
but
I
thank
you
again
so
much
for
your
time,
pam
ray
and
I
both
make
ourselves
available
for
anything.
You
have.
A
Wonderful,
thank
you
so
much
and
thank
you
so
much
for
being
here
and
for
all
of
your
work.
Just
a
little
side
note.
I
am
my
final
paper
that
I
wrote
in
grad.
School
was
about
the
farm
bill
and
its
title
was
the
farm
bill
is
health
policy,
and
so
it
was
talking
about
specifically
about
subsidies
and
what
we
subsidize
in
this
country
so
to
see
some
work
and
some
focus
happening
on
the
farm
bill
right
now.
It's
just
very
excited
and
my
little
public
health
nerd
is
jumping
up
and
down.
A
C
B
B
C
B
C
Your
items
here,
thank
you,
david
for
your
presentation.
I
always
appreciate
your
excitement
and
energy
on
the
topic,
which
is
a
good
thing,
because
that's
what
you
need.
I,
as
you
all
know,
those
of
you
that
have
been
around
for
a
long
time.
I've
been
I
served
on
the
food
policy
council
and
those
were
the
best
days
of
my
life.
I
have
to
say
there
was
just
a
lot
I
learned
about
new
mexico
ag
and
just
and
also
the
the
the
things
that
don't
work
in
new
mexico.
C
So
I
I
learned
a
lot
on
that
and
I
appreciate
that
you
all
are
moving
forward
with
this
in
a
way
that
connects
the
local
to
the
state
and
then
to
the
federal
and
I'm
actually
I
mean
the
farm
bill
always
has
been
problematic
and
I'm
just
curious
if
it's
been
better
now
that
we
have
allies
at
the
federal
level
that
are
really
seeing
it
holistically
now
versus
how
they
used
to
see
when
they
just
focused
on
big
ag
back
in
the
days.
So
can
you
say
a
little
bit
more
about
that?
D
There's
a
lot
more
equity,
that's
built
in
and
there's
intentionality
towards
what
they're,
calling
underserved
communities
or
populations
and
they're
starting
to
draw
those
populations
out
and
recognize
that
native
americans,
african
americans,
hispanic
americans
and,
most
recently,
women
are
being
hauled
out
as
people
that
they've
blatantly
ignored
in
in
years
past.
Although
they
wouldn't
say
blatantly.
C
D
F
B
County
state,
federal
and
travel
because
I
think
the
pandemic
really
really
spurred
the
issues
and
brought
out
those
issues
about
how
important
a
local
food
system
is
and
why
our
work
is
so
important
and
the
office
of
the
governor's
work
that
you'll
be
hearing
kendall
talk
about
as
well.
B
Really
lucky
in
the
state,
because
we've
been
working
at
this
for
a
long
time
as
councilman
villarreal
mentioned
and
and
ms
chavez
will
really
share
that
out
and
express
how
what
that
looks
like
a
couple
of
decades
of
work
really
honestly-
and
this
is
the
work
that
we're
all
doing
at
the
federal
level.
The
way
that
stretches
you
know
we
don't
have
the
capacity
as
little
organizations
to
do
that
work
individually.
Here
we
have
incredible
partners
at
the
federal
level
that
our
groups
have
memberships
with
or
a
lot
allied
with.
B
Last
week
we
took
a
court.
Miss
travis
was
part
of
that
as
a
as
a
living
learning
ten
people
from
new
mexico,
some
had
never
been
on
the
hills
and
never
experienced
that
work
and
met
with
some
of
those
organizations
that
are
allies
and
partners
there,
as
well
as
with
our
congressional
delegation
and
usda,
the
programs
that
are
the
drivers
in
this
and
who
those
people
are
so
that
we
have
a
much
deeper
connection.
B
Direct
link
to
those
and
we're
seeing-
and
I
think,
I'm
hoping
kendall
might
bring
it
up
to
in
the
arizona
is
actually
what
some
of
those
programs,
as
we
learn
from
the
pandemic,
have
shifted
and
are
starting
to
shift.
How
we
see
this
farm
bill
and
one
of
the
programs
are
going
to
benefit
us,
the
most
and
also
in
regions.
As
david
said,
people
across
those
are
underserved
or
in
communities
that
haven't
received
the
kinds
of
necessary
resources
that
be
available.
C
B
Well,
madam
chair
and
council
via
rail,
I
think
it's
at
both
end.
One
is
that
the
pandemic
shed
the
light
on
on
things
that
were
already
happening
and
that
could
then
be
could
be
further
further
work
towards
and
further
invested
in,
and
then
the
second
part
of
that
is
as
program
as
emergency
funding
and
things
like
that
rolled
out
to
states
through
various
programs.
B
What
I
feel
is
really
hopeful
was
that
actually
the
usda
secretary
vilsack
his
team,
when
many
of
us
replied
back
and
said
these
programs
aren't
working
for
us
in
new
mexico
or
at
our
local
level,
and
that
happened
across
the
country.
They
did
a
pretty
quick
shift
and
some
of
those
programs
actually
and
and
this
travis
and
the
governor's
office
are
part
of
some
of
that
shift
in
the
sense
of
what
can
really
benefit
new
mexico
and
then,
secondly,
the
other
part
of
that
is,
then
they
said.
B
Okay,
these
are
programs
that
we're
gonna
begin
to
see
in
the
farm
bill.
Now
that
we're
gonna
start
to
look
at
the
farm
bill
and
really
build
it
out.
What
are
the
lessons
that
we
can
learn
from
both
the
pandemic
and
the?
What
we
brought
to
that
and
what
had
been
built
up
before
that?
I'm
not
sure
that
yeah.
C
Did
I
guess
I
was
just
curious
before
well
now
that
I
guess
I'm
just
thinking
about
bipartisan
support
for
looking
at
small
ag
versus
big
ag
and
if
that's
shifted
in
the
political
circles,.
B
Yeah,
madam
chair
and
council,
via
they'll,
I
that
again
is
a
yes
and
in
three
ways.
I
think
that
that
is
being
really
personally,
I
will
say
it
driven
by
communities
to
really
hold
that
you'll
see
in
our
information
as
a
new
mexico,
green
agriculture
policy,
council
and
then
taken
on
by
santa
fe
food
policy
council.
You
will
see
equity
at
the
top
of
that,
and
what
does
that
mean?
B
We're
really
looking
at
how
programs
are
accessed
and
how
they're
not
how
they
benefit,
how
they
are
really
not
beneficial,
and
what
is
that
historic
bias
as
well
that
plays
into
that
and
how,
as
communities
and
individuals
and
collectively
and
as
a
with
a
united
voice,
how
we
can
actually
shift
and
make
change
at
that
very
federal
level
and
we're
partners,
like
I
said,
with
people
across
the
united
states
that
are
working
on
that?
B
That
shift
in
a
big
way,
and
will
that
and
the
small
and
large
that
you
mentioned
it's
an
issue
that
is
being
discussed
across
the
country
and
we've
been
working
on
it
here
in
new
mexico
as
well,
very
specifically,
so
that
we
see
each
other
from
in
this
lived
experiences
and
that
whether
we
call
it
large
and
small.
B
However,
you
want
to
structure
that
or
say
that
that
everybody
counts
and
is
that
an
easy
thing
to
do
and
get
to?
No.
It
takes
a
lot
of
trust
building
and
a
lot
of
of
the
kind
of
work
that
we're
doing
with
the
governor's
office
through
the
food
policy
council,
with
our
state
food
policy,
council,
continued
building,
those
those
bridges
and
then
refining
and
clarifying
and
agreeing
my
consensus
on
who
we
represent
and
also
who
isn't
represented.
That
really
needs
that
lived
here.
C
Thank
you.
I
was.
I
appreciate
that
you
broke
it
down
from
local
impact
and
you
know
we've
been
working
on
that
public
procurement
piece
for
a
long
time
and
I'm
curious
if
there's
been
a
shift
city
and
county
that
you're,
seeing
because
right
before
the
pandemic,
we
were
talking
about
how
we
could
enhance
that
and
ways
and
pathways
and
then
covet
hit,
and
we
really
didn't
get
to
work
on
that
and
I'm
still
very
curious
about
how
or
how
I
can
support
in
that
way.
D
It
definitely
started
on
our
local
level,
where
the
santa
fe
public
schools
was
able
to
kind
of
lead
the
charge
set.
The
example
you
know,
then
it
gets
picked
up
at
the
state
level.
There's
a
lot
of
advocacy
work.
Things
move
slowly
for
years,
but
then
there's
been
some
incredible
acceleration
because
there's
the
recognition
of
how
valuable
it
is.
D
So
I
think
at
the
local
level,
will
be
important
for
us
to
adhere
to
kind
of
what's
happening
at
the
state
and
take
examples
from
other
communities
who
are
actually
accessing
dollars
to
be
able
to
fund
these
ideas
and
then
reinvest
them
and
reinvest
them
and
reinvest
them,
because
that
will
be
the
power
of
the
future.
B
And
madam
chair
and
council
via
rail,
which
is
one
other
add-on
to
that
when
it
comes
to
how
we're
procuring
schools
definitely
with
the
city
and
county,
though
directly
when
it
comes
to
like
senior
services
which
is
in
your
in
your
wheelhouse
so
and
kendall
will
discuss
this
actually
share
out
some
of
this
around
new
mexico
grown,
and
this
really
amazing
investment
so
that
senior
centers
early
child
care,
centers
schools
can
purchase
locally
local
produce
and
now
meets
and
we're
hoping
to
really
get
the
city
and
county
senior
services
on
board
as
we
move
into
next
year
in
the
senior
services.
B
It's
a
newer
program,
and
this
was
really
kind
of
the
second
year
in
a
way
that
the
funding
rolled
out
to
senior
centers
and
not
everybody
applied.
It
was
a
quick
turnaround
and-
and
I
think
also
maybe
capacity-
is
part
of
that
issue
as
well,
but
we're
really
happy
to
help
at
the
local
level.
When
there's
a
new
round
of
funding
and
our
aging
and
long-term
services
department,
the
state
level
are
fabulous
to
work
with.
They
really
want
this
program
to
be
in
every
community.
C
Thank
you.
I'm
I'm
curious
what
we
can
do
then,
to
support
that
public
procurement
piece.
I
don't
think
we're
where
we
need
to
be,
and
it's
also
dependent
on
the
local
economy
and
farmers
and
how
they
can
make
sure
that
they're
being
able
to
produce
consistently
in
order
to
have
the
produce
to
put
in
our
in
our
facilities
and
programs.
So
the
other
question:
it's
not
so
much
a
question,
but
I
was
thinking
about
when
the
first
I
had
was
on
council.
We
changed
the
urban
ag
zoning
ordinance,
which
was
so
painful.
C
I
have
to
say,
because
everyone
was
trying
to
think
of
anything
that
could
go
wrong
in
or
in
the
ordinance
or
allowing
people
to
farm,
and
I'm
I
don't
know
if
you
have
any
anecdotes
about
people
that
because
of
the
change,
it's
been
helpful
or
we're
kind
of
where
we
are
still
in
the
same
place
and
not
many
people
utilizing
land
in
that
way,
particularly
because
it's
expensive,
but
I'm
just
curious.
If
you
have
any
insight
on
that.
D
That
is
an
amazing
question.
Thank
you.
I
don't
have
any,
unfortunately,
anecdotes
in
terms
of
ways
that
it
was
supportive.
D
I
have
anecdotes
that
we
need
more
work
and
and
changing
the
code,
so
that's
easier
for
urban
agriculture
to
have
when
we
were
writing
that
our
vision
was
that
it
was
going
to
be
land-based
urban
agriculture
what's
happening
is
that
it
it's
more
aquaponics
or
hydroponics
based
urban
agriculture
and
that's
a
very
different
system,
and
there
I
know
one
business
that
really
struggled
to
actually
get
the
doors
open,
because
he
was
really
trying
to
follow
the
rules
and
he
got
hung
up
in
code
enforcement,
and
I
admire
him
for
for
his
intuitiveness,
but
he
also
highlighted
and
addressed
a
lot
of
problematic
places
where
we
could
make
it
easier,
especially
if
we
want
to
do
it
right
right
does.
D
D
Actually,
there
are
two
people,
and
one
of
them
does
and
the
other
does
not,
but
without
calling
them
out
by
name
because
they're,
very
good
people
and
they're
working
very
hard
and
their
business
is
thriving.
But
it's
a
matter
that
we
would
absolutely
love
to
engage
and
then
also
bring
in
those
community
voices
and
business
minds,
because
we
don't
have
all
the
answers.
D
We
don't
pretend
to
so
being
able
to
to
have
that
liaison
effort
between
the
food
policy
council
with
people
who
are
wanting
to
engage
in
food
businesses,
and
this
can
be
even
stretched
past.
Just
the
urban
agriculture
ruling,
but
also
doing
cottage
industry
businesses
or
really
greasing
the
wheels
for
other
aggregation
points
or
doing
value-added
foods
would
be
really
critical
to
food
infrastructure
and
food
security
in
our
community
and
we'd
love.
To
start
that
conversation
thank.
C
C
Yes
did:
did
you
hear
that
I'm
just
kidding
over
there?
The
other
question
I
had
there
were
suggestions
of
what
we
can
do
through
the
farm
bill
with
policy
changes
that
work
for
everyone,
and
I
didn't
see
this
directly.
I
know
there
were
you
know,
sliding
scale
approaches
to
usda
programs
and
trying
to
make
funding
available
through.
I
think
easier
for
people
to
access
that,
and
I
still
don't
see
that
happening
it's
just
like.
B
Yeah
and
madame
chair
and
council
via
rail
you're,
that's
very
real
and
it
is
a
huge
challenge.
It's
a
challenge
across
the
country
as
much
as
is
here
and
probably
even
more
so
I
want
to
say
here,
because
we
have
rural
tribal
communities.
We
you
know
have
that
larger
geographic
part
of
it
as
well,
and
it
is
why
those
recommendations
are
there
for
this
upcoming
farm
bill
that
we
are
we've
already
started.
B
Working
on
and
part
of
that
you'll
see
the
process
right
now
on
the
farm
bill
is
what
they
call
marker
bills,
so
they'll
start
to
come
up
with
ideas,
they'll
get
them
formalized
and
then
move
into
a
more
substantive
part
of
adding
those
initiatives
in
and
part
of,
those
are
exactly
what
you
read,
which
is
creating.
We
we're
offering
we're
suggesting
numbers
of
approaches
depending
on
the
type
of
community
or
individual
or
family
or
whatever,
that
might
be
organization,
applying
sliding
skill
being
part
of
that
organizationally.
B
A
good
example
is
a
program
called
usda
firm
to
school,
grant
program,
they're
already
doing
it
where,
if
an
organization
is
applying
for
funding
at
a
smaller
say,
less
than
fifty
thousand
dollars,
they're
not
required
to
put
up
a
one
for
one
match:
that's
huge,
especially
for
small
organizations
or
for
farmers
themselves.
B
Those
matches
so
we're
going
to
be
advocating
for
those
across
the
board,
whether
it
be
for
an
individual
like
a
farmer
or
a
rancher
or
an
organization
for
any
of
these
kinds
of
programs,
because
we
recognize
that
that's
the
inequity
in
access
one,
one
of
them
as
an
example.
D
If
I
may
add
to
that,
madam
chair
and
counselor,
some
of
these
programs
that
usd
is
coming
out
with
are
intended
to
alleviate
some
of
the
complications
and
difficulties.
For
example,
the
2501
grant
is
intended
for
underserved
communities
to
be
able
to
introduce
them
to
different
usda
programs.
However,.
D
Alleviate
the
complexity
or
the
difficulty
of
actually
then
applying
for
any
other
usda
grants.
So
if
you
still
want
to
go,
get
an
equip
grant
as
an
individual
farmer,
it's
great
money,
but
it's
not
easy,
and
one
of
the
ideas
that
we're
considering
at
the
farmers
market
institute
is.
Is
it
possible
to
raise
funding
to
hire
professional
grant
writers
to
navigate
and
assist
on
behalf
of
those
farmers?
They
still
would
have
to
go
through
the
entire
process
of
getting
their
their
farm
number
and
going
through.
D
You
know
all
the
equip
process
of
getting
the
approval
for
the
different
projects
and
programs.
However,
if
if
we
have
funding
or
confined
funding
to
be
able
to
assist
them
in
the
lengthy
and
very
challenging,
both
linguistically
and
just
time
constrained
for
the
applications
for
actually
just
getting
the
dollars
into
their
pockets,
so
they
can
do
the
good
work
and
raise
more
food
for
us.
B
So
many
and
and
council
be
real
one
additional
thing,
and
this
is
sort
of
on
the
other
side
of
it,
which
is
we've
been
talking
to
a
lot
of
the
agencies
we
are
requesting
in
the
farm
bill,
additional
funding
for
technical
assistance
at
the
ground
level,
but
at
the
same
time,
one
of
the
things
had
this
conversation
with
one
of
our
state
agencies,
their
federal
agency,
usc,
natural
resource
conservation
service.
That
holds
a
lot
of
these
programs
they're,
not
seeing
the
staffing
in
the
pipeline
they're
not
seeing
they
have
the
jobs.
B
We've
got
in
a
lot
of
places
in
the
in
government.
We
have
the
money
and
right
now
we're
just
not
seeing
the
flow
of
people
coming
into
those
jobs.
Some
of
that
even
is
at
the
college
level
as
well.
Young
people
are
not
turning
out
or
people
are
going
to.
College
are
not
graduating
with
the
kinds
of
degrees
and
interest
in
the
world
of
agriculture.
So
it's
a
big
deal.
You
know,
and
we've
got
to
figure
out
ways.
Other
ways
of
approaching
engage,
engagement
and
interest
right.
C
Thank
you
for
all
the
information.
Still
a
lot
of
work
to
do.
I
still
feel
like
they
need
to
change
the
application
process
and
then
last
question
I
it
doesn't
pertain
really
to
santa
fe
or
this
area,
but
really
down
south
and
in
eastern
new
mexico
and
there's
a
section
about
safety
and
dignity
of
food
and
farm
workers,
and
I
think,
that's
extremely
important
and
we
all
love
our
chile
and
I
don't
think
people
know
how
bad
the
practices
labor
practices
are
for.
C
Chile,
farmers
in
new
mexico
and
we
think,
oh
great
chili,
susan,
all,
I
can
think
about
the
people
working
that
aren't
getting
paid
well
and
also
the
safety
issues.
So
I'm
just
curious
if
even
at
the
state
level,
if
we're
really
looking
at
the
chile
industry
and
it's
important
to
us-
and
if
it's
important
to
us,
we
should
care
about
the
workers
that
actually
do
all
the
work
for
us
to
have
chili
on
our
plate.
And
then
the
other
piece
is
the
dairy
industry.
C
That's
I
don't
know
if
you've
heard
it's
pretty
horrible
lots
of
accidents
in
new
mexico,
mostly
immigrant
people
that
are
undocumented
and
they
don't
have
rights
to
fight
for
things
that
happen
on
the
work
on
at
work.
So,
given
those
realities,
I'm
curious,
if
we're
doing
anything
at
the
state
level,
to
tackle
those
issues,
especially
for
industries
that
we
rely
on
so
heavily
and
they're.
You
know
part
of
our
cultural
heritage.
So
do
you
have
any
thoughts
on
that
or
have
you
seen
anything
move
in
that
direction?.
B
Yes
and
madam
chair
and
councillor
garrell
really
want
to
give
a
shout
out
to
our
colleagues
and
friends
of
an
organization
called
la
samia
who
centered
down
in
the
southern
part
of
the
state.
B
In
this
last
legislative
session,
funding
was
a
bill
was
introduced
in
the
session
to
actually
provide
funding
for
chile,
the
chile
industry,
when
it
comes
to
labor,
so
that
it
could
really
lean
in
on
getting
being
able
to
provide
more
labor,
get
more
labor
and
be
funded
to
be
able
to
harvest
chili
lasagna
food
center
make
sure,
along
with
other
groups,
including
our
new
mexico,
united
policy
council.
B
We
advocated
for
a
change
in
that
legislation
to
make
sure
that
it's
the
workers
who
were
actually
paid
the
fair
wage
and
it
wasn't
specifically
just
the
farm
getting
the
money.
So
that's
short
of
a
long
but-
and
it
did
pat,
that
that
funding
did
pass
with
the
amendment.
So
we're
hoping
that
it's
idiot,
it
did
yeah.
So
the
goal
there
and
the
hope
is
that
as
the
state
rules,
those
farms
out
and
that
might
be
applied
for.
B
Actually,
farmers
have
to
apply
for
those
that
they
have
to
adhere
to
that
part
of
that
legislation,
which
is
that
the
workers
themselves
are
the
ones
who
are
getting
paid
paid.
The
fair
wage.
C
E
Madam
sharon,
quick
question
since
it
popped
up
during
the
conversation
regarding
farmville
is
currently
on
the
hill
work
being
worked
on
and
in
mr
sundberg's
presentation.
He
had
mentioned
using
the
fed
resources
for
one
activity
and
then
using
city
resources
for
another,
and
then
it
was
miss
roy
who
had
mentioned
the
match,
or
I
think
it
was
maybe
miss
mr
sundberg.
E
So
usually
there
is
with
fed
funding
some
type
of
match,
and
so
I
guess
my
question
is:
do
we
have
a
strategy
to
work
with
our
delegation,
given
sometimes
those
priorities
locally?
Aren't
the
same?
That's
going
to
be
in
the
national
federal
bill,
use
our
delegation
to
lobby
and
change
that
that
way,
we're
not
kind
of
tackling
two
different
initiatives
with
less
money
and
change
the
farm
bill
and
put
more
resources
behind
one
particular
initiative.
E
So
is
that
a
strategy
or
just
wondering,
because
you
know
I
under
completely
understand
that
the
match
situation,
and
sometimes
it
is
hard
for
especially
for
rural
communities,
to
come
up
with
that.
B
Yes,
and
and
madam
chair
and
councilor
garcia
yeah
what's
exciting-
is
that
our
delegation
is
really
behind
a
lot
of
this
and
the
sense
of
in
last
week,
with
our
cohort
there.
We
expressed
this
request
and
I
think,
with
both
our
congresswoman
and
also
our
senators,
and
they
all
we
have.
B
B
I
just
think
it
was
yesterday,
but
they
are
working
on
some
of
the
legislation,
what
they
call
marker
bills
and
changes,
and
these
things
that
actually
adhere
to
what
you're
suggesting
what
we're
hoping
for
too,
which
is
some
of
the
flexibility
in
these
programs,
and
I
think,
what's
important-
is
when
javascript
explains
some
things
at
the
state
level,
how
important
those
state
dollars
the
local
david
mentioned,
the
local
and
the
state
dollars
actually
leverage
federal
dollars.
So
part
of
that
strand
is
david
says
we
want
to
work
at
all
policy
levels.
B
You
know
across
local
federal
so
that
we
are
very
focused
on
how
those
we
can
leverage
those
dollars
to
the
greatest
extent
here
in
new
mexico
and
hope
that
communities
can
do
it
for
themselves.
If
that
answers
your
question.
E
It
does
thank
you
so
much.
I
appreciate
that
also
mentioned
the
capacity
issues
with
some
of
the
farmers.
Applying
I
mean
I
completely
understand
the
federal
process.
In
the
sense
I
used
to
have
to
write
federal
grants
and
applications,
it's
not
a
fun
process.
It
takes
you
weeks
to
get
them
done
and
when
you
sometimes
get
them
submitted,
you
come
back
for
clarification
except
it's
a
it's.
It's
a
very
rough
process,
and
so
I
guess
my
question
revolves
given
this
is
particularly
not
an
industry
where
they've
got
experts
that
are
grant
writers
is.
E
Are
we
looking
at
potentially
or
is
there
a
possibility
of
implementing
some
type
of
planning
grant
phase
where
there
can
be
initial
resources
provided
to
a
potential
applicant
where
they
can
work
with?
Maybe
a
grant
writer
or
somebody
that
has
that
experience
to
submit
a
quality
application?
That
way
when
it
comes
time
to
submit
they
they're
standing
on
a
solid
foundation
versus
somebody
just
trying
to
submit
an
application
because
they
want
to
get
the
resources,
and
so.
E
Question
is:
are
we
looking
at
or
is
there
any
type
of
planning
grant
I'm
not
too
familiar
with
the
process,
and
so
is
there
planning
grant
opportunities
or,
if
there's
not,
is
that
something
we
can
potentially
help
with
advocating
for
given
you
know,
I
understand
the
capacity,
especially
when
you
get
to
rural
communities.
It's
just
not
there
to
write
federal
grants.
B
Madam
chair
and
councillor
garcia
you
it
again
is
that
both
and
you're
absolutely
right.
It's
sort
of
in
multiple
multiple
levels,
which
is
we
now
we
have
in
state
that
some
of
the
foundations
have
actually
invested
in
tnt
technical
assistance
towards
communities
to
be
able
to
write
their
own
grants
and
get
that
kind
of
assistance,
and
then
at
the
federal
level
in
this
farm
bill.
B
This
is
part
of
the
request,
which
is
to
really
advocate
for
that
kind
of
formative
across
the
board,
assistance
for
all
states
and
for
agencies
to
be
able
to
provide
that
service
and
again,
it
then
falls
back
sometimes
on
the
agencies,
not
actually
having
the
capacity
to
do
that
and
having
had
some
of
those
conversations,
even
in
the
last
few
weeks,
with
some
of
the
federal
agencies
here
in
new
mexico
wishing
that
they
could,
but
they
they've
got
positions
open.
B
E
A
Thank
you
so
much
any
of
the
members
of
the
committee
at
this
time.
I
have
a
couple
to
follow
up
on
one
rich.
This
might
be
a
question
for
you,
but
you
know
this
discussion
of
the
workforce
pipeline
and
how
do
we
connect
youth?
How
do
we
connect
college
students
and
really
just
trying
to
think
of
the
partnerships
available
in
our
community?
D
Know
youth
works
is
a
you.
The
city
is
a
great
supporter
of
youth
and
they
really
piloted
a
program
through
their
youth
group
to
cohort
last
year
or
was
it
I
mean
it's
about
two
years
ago
to
start
up
the
community
garden
out
near
community
resources
on
county
property,
so
they're
a
good
resource
for
getting
young
people
into
the
pipeline,
and
it
could
be
one
of
those
things
where
it's
it's
just
it's
a
liaison
between
maybe
the
the
school
district
youth
work,
some
other
programs
with
the
community
college.
D
If
there
are
people
who
are
falling
out
of
the
workforce
because
they're
just
losing
their
passion
for
their
career
or
whatever
reason
it
is
having
it
as
an
increased
opportunity
for
people
to
go
and
find
meaningful
work
within
the
community,
like
I
said,
because
it
deals
with
food
which
is
such
a
core
value
for
all
of
us.
Humans.
A
Right,
absolutely
and
and
rich.
This
is
where
you
come
in.
I
know
we've
discussed
it
in
edac.
I
don't
know
if
we've
discussed
it
here,
but
the
pilot
mentorship
program
that
the
economic
development
is
looking
at
and
I'm
curious.
There
might
be
some
opportunities
with
the
agricultural
community
in
the
county
where
we
might
be
able
to
pair
mentors.
Do
you
see
that
as
either
an
opportunity
I
mean?
I
know
we're
piloting
and
then
hoping
to
expand,
but
where
we
might
see
some
overlap
there.
G
Yeah
manager,
thank
you
for
the
question.
I
can't
speak
for
the
county,
but
for
the
city,
it's
to
mr
sundberg's
statement
that
we
are
working
on
how
to
integrate
some
of
our
arpa
funding
with
the
community
college
and
we're
looking
beyond
the
trades
part
construction
trades
further
into.
How
is
it
connecting
with
food?
G
As
you
all
know,
we
have
a
dearth
of
employees
for
the
food
industry
and
so
we're
trying
to
do
training
there,
and
he
did
mention
mr
summer
did
mention
about
the
fact
that
we
do
fund
youth
works
programs
for
underserved
youth,
so
we're
trying
to
integrate
all
these
pieces
together,
community
college
and
the
public
schools,
because
we
talk
about
these
three
buckets
of
employment,
where
we
have
junior
seniors
seniors,
who
are
graduating
or
looking
for
work,
and
then
the
the
workforce,
the
general
workforce
and
we're
hoping
to
work
with
the
community
college
to
figure
out
where
the
need
is
so
we're.
G
I
think
it
went
out
friday.
There
is
a
survey
that's
going
out
to
the
business
community.
I
need
to
figure
out
whether
or
not
it
actually
went
out
to
the
greater
food
community,
but
for
our
greater
business
we
need
to
figure
out
where
the
need
is
right
now,
so
it's
possible
that
some
of
our
funding
will
land
with
the
community
college
and
work
through
some
sort
of
agriculture
program
that
there
is
a
need
for
workers.
Wonderful,.
A
I'd
also
be
curious
about
about
eco
at
the
public
schools,
and
I
don't
I
honestly
am
unfamiliar
with
all
the
programming
that
they
provide
there,
but
that
that
sounds
like
another
interesting
partnership.
A
And
then
I
know
that
there
had
been
some
discussion
about
food
manufacturing
and
I
believe
that
the
lucero
crossing,
I
know
one
of
the
businesses
that
is
looking
at
that
it.
It's
a
it's
food
production,
but
it's
dog
food
production
which
so
we
got
to
feed
our
pets.
But
if
that
is
also
another
opportunity
where
we
might
see
some
room
for
how
we
expand
and
support
food
production
in
our
community.
G
Yeah,
that's
very
good
question
two
two
things
one:
the
ellis
air
crossing
development
is
about
manufacturing
and
it's
about
food
manufacturing.
So
as
we
look
at
the
dog
food
company,
it's
about
food,
and
but
it's
about
economic
development
to
the
farmers,
because
the
the
food,
the
beef
etc
comes
from
local
producers
in
the
agriculture
community.
So
that
comes
into
the
manufacturing
space.
We
are
also
hoping
that
we
build
a
second
building
there
that
can
attract
food,
purveyors,
maybe
smaller
ones,
so
we
can
aggregate
them
in
some
way.
G
We
have
invested
in
a
food
accelerator
program
with
creative
startups.
So
that's
a
way
for
us
to
learn
about
the
pipeline
for
food,
whether
it's
locally
grown
and
we
don't
discriminate
whether
you're
in
the
county
or
the
city.
We
just
think
everyone
should
be
involved
in
trying
to
help
us
in
that
category.
Wonderful,
good.
A
Glad
to
hear-
and
I
think
that
that's
you
know-
I'm
really
glad
that
you
guys
are
here
today
again
these
conversations
both
act
as
informa
information
as
well
as
looking
for
where
there
are
different
avenues
where
there
might
be
collaboration
or
or
congruencies,
and
some
of
the
other
projects
that
are
happening.
A
The
other
area
that
I'm
curious
about-
and
I
don't
know
if
ms
chavez
might
be
the
one
to
answer
this
question-
probably
a
little
bit
of
both-
is
the
intersection
between
sustainability
and
agriculture,
and
I
know
that
this
one
gets
a
little
bit
complicated.
Obviously,
agriculture
takes
a
lot
of
water.
Water
is
something
that
we're
very
concerned
about
in
our
community.
A
Incentivize,
some
of
the
more
sustainable
food
agricultural
practices
like
leaving
fields
fallow.
C
A
Really
rotate
rotating
crops.
You
can
see
the
extent
of
my
technical
knowledge
with
agriculture
convention,
but
and
then
there's
also
been
a
lot
of
discussion.
I
know
from
different
food
policies
around
the
country
about
food
waste
and
how
do
we
divert
food
from
the
landfill,
whether
that
is
institutions
that
they
have
extra
food,
that
they
just
throw
away
and
there's,
I
know,
been
some
complications
and
how
do
you
actually
get
those
two
people
who
can
utilize
them
with
their
cooked
meals?
A
How
do
we
get
them
to
soup
kitchens?
How
do
we
get
them?
You
know
to
different
areas,
so
I'm
I'm
curious
or
there's
been
like
public
leaning.
You
know
when
we
have
those
bumper
crops
of
it
was
apricots
like
three
years
ago
and
just
I
remember,
the
sidewalks
covered
in
apricot
mush
as
people
were
stepping
all
over
them,
and
so
I'd
be
interested
to
hear
a
little
bit
more
about
what
is
being
being
explored
with
sustainability
and
agriculture
in
the
county,
as
well
as
the
state.
D
D
D
We're
not
only
looking
at
that
we're
having
depleted
resources
in
terms
of
water
but
and
we're
depleting
soil
resources.
Our
culture
can
add
back
into
those
things
doing
through
doing
sustainable
agricultural
practices
like
keeping
the
land
covered
and
building
healthy
soils.
Agriculture
controller
can
actually
use
one
tenth
of
the
water
that
it
uses
through
flood
irrigation
and
through
extractive
practices.
D
D
As
you
mentioned,
some
of
the
federal
funding,
for
example,
eqip
will
actually
provide
funding
for
individual
farmers
to
incorporate
more
sustainable
practice
very
intentionally
and
there's
some
great
programs
available
in
that
we
need
to
get
more
education
and
resources
available.
A
lot
more
micro
funding
would
be
very
help
beneficial
to
a
lot
of
our
farmers,
because
it's
the
upfront
cost
that
they
can't
afford
to
do,
whereas
if
they
can
get
a
reimbursement
or
something
along
those
lines,
we've
been
talking
to
some
other
groups.
D
F
D
There
is
a
green
bill
that
the
food
depot
with
pusheen
was
working
on
at
the
legislative
state
legislative
level
to
be
able
to
do
gleaning
on
farms
and
what
does
that
look
like
in
terms
of
human
safety
practices
and
liability
for
the
farmers?
So
that's
all
in
process
in
terms
of
local
gleaning,
I
encourage
everyone
to
go
out
and
gather
those
apricots
off
the
sidewalk,
even
better
shake
them
out
of
a
tree
and
catch
them.
There's
a
lot
of
food
that
goes
to
waste
just
because
we're
not
gathering
it.
D
We,
as
the
food
policy
council,
would
absolutely
love
to
put
together
a
report
with
some
different
ideas
or
recommendations
of.
Maybe
there
are
policies
and
practices,
maybe
there's
code.
Maybe
there
are
places
that
the
city
can
dip
into
actually
creating
food
access
points
within
neighborhoods
that
don't
have
good
local
food
access,
reutilization
of
parks.
Instead
of
watering
grass
in
a
park
we
could
water,
some
fruit,
trees
or
some
corn,
or
something
that
people
will
actually
go
and
enjoy.
D
B
This
two
things
and
thank
you
for
bringing
up
madam
chair
because
on
the
water
issues,
soap,
sustainable
and
water
issues.
So
of
course,
the
state
engineers
office
now
is
working
on
a
50-year
water
plan.
If
food
production
from
new
mexico
isn't
in
that
water
plan,
I'm
asking
the
question:
what's
going
to
happen
to
our
agriculture
and
the
ability
for
us
to
see
out
what
ms
travis
is
going
to
help?
B
You
understand
more
about
you,
which
is
the
investment
that's
already
being
made
in
the
state
towards
a
sustainable
food
system
and
one
that
is
ours,
that
we
really
build
out
that
local
economy
as
well.
So
that's
huge,
and
so
my
question
for
city
council
in
the
southern
fake
county
commission
is:
can
the
city
really
help
to
advocate
for
food
as
a
priority?
B
When
it
comes
that
50-year
plan,
we
have
as
a
new
mexican
act
policy
council.
Other
groups
have
as
well,
but
at
the
same
time
it
is
still
pretty
pretty
far
buried
down
the
pipeline
when
it
comes
to
a
50-year
water
plan.
So
it'd
be
one
thing
and
yes
to
the
food
waste
initiative.
B
So
the
outcome
of
that
legislative
request,
a
task
force-
was
put
together:
department
of
agriculture
and
a
team
of
people
from
across
the
state
put
together
a
food
waste
plan,
a
gleaning
plan.
So
now
it's
about
making
sure
it
doesn't
sit
on
the
shelf
right.
I
know
the
three
banks
are
very
much
interested
in
it.
So
are
a
lot
of
other
organizations
as
well.
It.
F
B
Also
in
the
in
the
federal,
so
senator
heinrich
is
co-sponsoring
with
a
congresswoman
pengri
a
bill
called
the
agriculture
resilience
act
and
in
that
our
focus
on
conservation,
programs,
energy
and
food
waste
are
the
three
components
of
that
particular
bill.
That's
already
been
introduced
in
congress.
G
I'm
jerry
yeah,
that's
something,
I'm
sorry,
something
that
they
sparked
from
a
food
waste
and
gleaning
program.
One
of
the
other
concepts
that
we're
actually
looking
on
for
the
elder
zero
crossing
is
about
the
food
desert
and
we
are
working
with
the
food
depot
to
figure
out
whether
or
not
we
can
create
kind
of
a
food
non-profit
store
in
on
this
property.
So
we're
meeting
with
them
next
week
to
learn
more
about
the
concept.
But
I
want
to
just
share
that.
G
A
Wonderful-
and
I
know
I've
spoken
with
sherry
hooper
about
that,
and
I
do
I
do
wonder
I
mean
I
know
this
year.
I
can't
tell
you
how
many
people
and
councilman
vitoria
did
it
as
well.
A
She's,
like
I
have
so
many
apples,
please
take
apples
like
I
cannot
eat
all
these
apples
and
we
had
a
number
of
neighbors
who
had
nectarines
and
trying
to
kind
of
offload
all
the
fruits,
and
I
just
I
feel
like
there's
an
opportunity
for
partnerships
within
the
community
to
really
make
sure
that
that
food
is
getting
in
is
accessed
by
individuals
who
need
them.
As
I
always
do,
I
feel,
like
everything,
kind
of
connects
to
each
other
and
some
of
the
40
of
food
waste
from
americans
is
simply
time.
A
People
go
to
the
grocery
store.
They
maybe
can
grow
the
grocery
store
once
a
week
if
they
don't
have
easy
access
to
transportation.
They're
loading
up
on
a
bunch
of
food
and
if
you
want
to
buy
fruits
and
vegetables
well,
those
things
go
bad,
and
so
I
mean
we
really
it's
this
very
fascinating
balance
and
when
we
start
to
look
at
the
food
desert
and
we
look
at
how
readily
individuals
can
access
the
grocery
store
on
a
more
regular
basis,
you
know
it
all
kind
of
knits
together.
A
This
is
where
I
always
go
back
to
the
general
plan
update
which
we
will
be
doing
soon
as
well,
so
really
an
exciting,
exciting
time
to
be
in
the
food
industry
and
then
the
food
food
realm.
I'm
really
grateful
to
the
work
that
you
all
are
doing
in
our
community
and
really
continuing
to
push
these
issues
and
bringing
them
to
the
forefront.
I
feel
like
they
can
be
very
invisible
issues
if
it's
not
something
that
people
are
experiencing
or
really
familiar
with.
A
You
know
we
frequently
don't
know
where
food
comes
from
anymore.
You
know
my
kid
has
to
remind
him.
Somebody
had
to
grow
this.
You
know
it
doesn't
just
pop
up
at
trader
joe's.
So
really,
thank
you
so
much
for
being
here
and
for
the
work,
and
I
know
this
will
be
a
continuing
conversation.
A
Yes,
we
do
have
great
staff
to
work
with.
Thank
you
so
moving
on
to
our
next
food
themed
presentation,
today,
the
new
mexico,
food
farm
and
hunger
initiative
advocacy
overview
of
the
statewide
hunger
initiative
legislative
session,
2022
david
sunberg,
as
well
as
kendall
chavez,
the
food
and
hunger
coordinator
with
the
office
of
the
governor
anne
maria
sanchez
tucker
community
services.
Director
are
here
to
present.
F
Thank
you,
madam
chair
members
of
the
committee,
speaking
of
food
dinner
time
right,
so
I'm
gonna
try
and
be
as
brief
and
and
keep
it
as
quick
as
possible
and
with
with
an
invitation,
would
love
to
come
back
at
a
later
time
with
a
more
formal
presentation
for
you
all.
I
do
want
to
say
so.
F
C
F
Keep
this
brief
and
I
will
have
to
warn
you:
this
presentation
is
outdated.
We
are
going
through
a
rebrand
like
literally
food
farm
and
hunger
initiative.
We
now
just
call
it
the
food
initiative.
We
have
a
logo,
so
I
will
just
warn
you
that
this
is
a
bit
outdated
and
this
is
we're
looking
in
the
past
right.
So
our
successes
and
wins
from
the
legislative
session
and
then
again
would
be
happy
to
come
back
to
the
committee
with
an
update
at
a
later
time.
F
All
right
so
in
the
beginning
of
my
works,
I've
been
in
the
governor's
office
for
about
14
months
and
I
was
invited
to
come
in
and
help
build
on
and
implement
the
governor's
priorities
around
food
and
hunger,
specifically
in
the
intersection
and
the
ability
of
the
state
to
really
feed
itself,
so
that
again,
that
sweet
spot
between
feeding
our
people
and
growing
the
food
we
need.
Our
people
is
where
my
work
is
really
is
really
hyper
focused.
So
in
the
beginning,
we,
this
was
a
strategic
plan,
and
now
it's
just
a
priority.
F
It's
a
framework,
a
policy
framework
in
the
way
that
we
approach
our
food
systems,
challenges
and
opportunities
here
in
the
state.
As
you
all
know,
these
are.
These
are
perennial
challenges
that
we've
been
experiencing
for
decades.
These
are
not
new,
they
were
compounded
by
covid,
and
so
you
know,
as
you
mentioned
chairwoman,
we're
in
this
space
of
like
a
lot
of
resource
coming
in
to
support
food
work,
a
lot
of
attention
on
it,
and
so
it's
our
it's
really
our
responsibility
to
make
sure
we're
fully
leveraging
state,
federal
and
local
commitment
to
this
work.
F
So
the
sort
of
norther
you
know
the
north
star
are
guiding
light
for
the
work
in
general,
and
you
can
see
that
mission
statement
in
front
of
you
was
again
to
really
address
hunger,
to
honor
the
wisdom
of
our
land-based
traditions
and
to
provide
equitable
access
to
nutritious
culturally
meaningful
foods.
So
this
work
was
built
off
of
thousands
of
hours
over
zoom.
This
was
during
covid
with
hundreds
of
people
from
all
you
know,
32
of
the
33
counties,
to
build
out
this
framework.
F
So
we
listened
for
hours
and
these
two
attended
many
of
those
meetings
on
the
problems
that
people
were
identifying
across
the
state
and
how
we
were
going
to
address
them.
So
there's
four
key
pillars
of
the
framework
that
we
that
we
identified-
and
these
will
not
look.
These
will
look
very
familiar
to
you
all
as
individuals
who
care
about
this
work.
The
first
is
community
food
programs,
so
really
recognizing
that
we
have
hundreds
of
millions
of
dollars
coming
into
our
state
for
federally
funded
nutrition
programs.
F
The
state
has,
you
know,
historically
put
some
money
in
and
we
still
have
major
gaps
even
in
santa
fe,
right,
there's
pockets
of
the
city
who
don't
have
access
to
basic
resources,
and
we
see
that
all
over
the
state.
This
pillar
is
also
looking
at
quality
right.
So,
madam
chair,
you
made
a
comment
about
sustainability.
F
Sustainability
is
very
hard
to
define
and
to
quantify
right.
So
quality
is
the
same
thing
we
know,
or
I
can
speak
to
my
perspective.
What
quality
quality
is,
but
that
is
a
really
hard
thing
to
identify
in
a
large
coalition
of
partners
from
all
over
the
state.
So
I
will
say
that
this
work
was
quite
challenging
again
because
we
had
big
ag
small
ag
food
justice,
individuals,
nutrition,
folks,
corporate
people
all
trying
to
come
together
for
to
form
a
common
framework.
F
This
was
looking
at
issues
of
workforce
development.
You
all
mentioned
that
mentioned
that
labor
and
issues
around
sustainability,
so
water
and
soil
were
especially
important
to
our
our
committee
members
and
the
folks
that
we
worked
with
again
a
very
hard
thing
to
define
and
to
quantify,
but
something
that
we
understand
is
critical
to
anything
that
touches
food
systems
work
in
the
west.
F
The
third
area
of
focus
is
supply
chains.
This
is
looking
at.
I
don't
know
how
many
times
I've
heard
a
farmer
or
a
senior
nutrition
provider
say
they
need
cold
storage.
We
have
massive
gaps
all
over
the
state
aging
infrastructure,
that's
preventing
our
communities
from
being
able
to
feed
themselves.
So,
a
few
months
ago
I
had
a
call
with
a
food
service
director
in
camado.
F
They
wanted
to
do
a
basic
program,
fresh
fruit
and
vegetable
program
and
to
buy
local
couldn't
do
it
because
they
didn't
have
refrigeration
space.
We
see
that
all
over
the
state
our
partners
have
been
asking
for
help
for
years
and
years
and
we're
finally
at
a
place
in
the
state
to
start
investing
in
those
resources.
F
The
supply
chain
piece
is
also
looking
at
regulatory
roadblocks,
so
david
mentioned
the
liability
issue
of
farmers
of
trying
to
glean
food
excess
product
from
fields.
F
F
For
the
food
and
hunger
initiative,
we're
focusing
on
three
key
areas:
legislation,
budget
and
an
administrative
work
across
straight
government.
State
government
excuse
me
and
really
putting
state
government
to
work
around
our
food
system.
So
this
last
year
was
year
one
our
legislative
session
last
year
and
we
really
focused
on
budget,
and
so
I
won't
go
too
into
the
weeds
here.
But
what
you
can
see
in
front
of
you
is
that
we
did
secure
24.7
million
dollars.
F
I
we
are
very
proud
to
say
that
we
secured
that
funds.
On
the
flip
side.
It's
sad
to
say
that
that
is
the
largest
investment
the
state
has
ever
made
in
foodneck.
So
say
that
again,
that
24.7
million
is
the
largest
investment
ever
made
in
food
and
agriculture
in
the
state.
So
these
are
in
the
most
polluted
secure
state,
with
lots
of
capacity
to
grow
food
for
itself
right.
So
we
fully
understand
this
challenge
and
understand
that
that
24.7
is
a
drop
in
the
bucket.
F
F
So
we
we
chose,
as
so
those
of
you
that
understand
food
systems,
work-
or
maybe
you
have
a
kid
in
in
a
school
or
a
you
know,
a
elder
in
a
senior
center,
or
maybe
we're
on
snap
at
one
point
in
your
life
know
that
each
of
these
programs
are
hyper
isolated.
F
So
at
the
federal
level-
and
you
see
that
in
the
farm
bill
the
food
and
farm
legislation
or
investments,
even
though
they're
connecting
the
farm
bill
are
not
connected
in
reality
right
and
so
we
did
our
best
to
make
sure
that
we
were
using
one
state
agency,
which
is
our
department
of
finance
administration,
who
is
sort
of
the
umbrella
agency
for
a
lot
of
the
executives
priorities
to
be
the
funnel
through
or
the
pass-through
for
all
the
funding
that's
going
through
for
this
year,
one
of
the
of
the
food
initiatives
that
24
million.
F
We
did
that
for
a
number
of
reasons.
A
no
matter
how
small
the
budget
is
it
shouldn't
get
lost
in
a
multi-million,
I
don't
want
to
say
billion,
but
a
large
budget
like
something
like
doh
hst.
F
We
wanted
these
priorities
to
stay
front
and
center
b
we
needed
to
figure
out
a
mechanism
to
have
shared
outcomes
and
shared
tracking
across
eight
agencies
that
are
managing
20,
30
plus
programs
and
and
to
really
make
sure
again
that
on
the
ground
as
a
community
member,
no
matter
where
I
am,
I
have
access
fair
access
to
all
of
these
programs.
As
a
farmer,
I'm
not
having
to
talk
to
eight
different
agencies
to
solve
my
product.
F
There's
one
process,
one
mechanism
to
do
it,
one
set
of
regulations
and
requirements
and
again
really
trying
to
make
government
work
for
people
rather
than
the
other
way
around.
So
I
want
to
highlight
a
few
things
for
specific
to
santa
fe.
We,
I
believe,
each
one
of
these
programs,
santa
fe,
the
city
of
santa
fe.
Our
partners
here
are
actively
accessing
and
the
other
comment
I
want
to
make
is
that
the
state
can
only
do
so
much
right.
F
We
have
to
work
in
partnership
with
our
local
governments,
county
governments,
tribal
governments
and
our
private
partners.
The
food
system
is
quite
complex.
We
can
write,
we
can
require
all
we
want
at
this
day
level.
We
don't
have
a
local
partner
to
implement.
It
means
nothing.
So
I
just
want
to
make
that
comment.
So
pam
mentioned
the
new
mexico
grown
program.
You'll
see
investments
here
from
new
mexico
for
seniors
for
preschools
for
schools.
F
We
have
expansion
of
the
wacom
senior
farmers,
market
nutrition
program,
senior
food
boxes,
essential
critical
programs,
many
of
which
are
tried
and
true
that
we
thought
needed
to
either
be
reoccurring
or
needed
extra
funding
to
really
bolster
them,
as
as
programs
that
were
going
to
be
in
place
in
perpetuity
for
our
community.
So
I
will
stop
there.
F
This
is
a
sort
of
stock
image
that
we
use
during
the
session
around
estimated
impacts.
I
will
say
it's
hard
to
quantify.
The
impact
and
outcomes
for
food
systems
work
right,
the
basic
the
basic
measure
that
people
use
as
food
insecurity,
food
insecurity
data
is
two
years
behind,
so
we're
looking
at
data
right
now
from
2020.
F
So
we're
really
excited
part
of
that.
24.7
million
was
10
million
for
food
system
infrastructure,
so
this
was
built
off
of
those
thousands
of
hours
of
partners
saying
we
need
money
for
x.
We
need
you
to
support
this
and
we
modeled
this
program.
After
a
program
of
massachusetts,
they
use
arpa
funding,
we
use
general
funds
and
we'll
continue
to.
We
will
continue
to
fight
for
this
for
this
funding,
I'm
giving
a
presentation
to
lfc
tomorrow
on
the
specific
pot
of
funds.
F
So
I
just
want
to
highlight
a
few
really
awesome:
innovative
scalable
models
that
we
were
excited
to
fund
here
in
santa
fe,
the
city
and
the
counties
you'll
see
youth
works,
building
out
their
commercial
kitchen,
training
and
staffing
to
do
to
do
what
they
do.
Best
right,
train
young
people
to
produce
food,
grow
food
aggregate
food
and
serve
the
community.
Youth
works
was
a
core
partner
in
our
in
the
state's
response
to
feeding
people
during
the
fires,
and
so
we
built
a
really
deep
relationship
and
trust
with
them.
F
As
an
organization,
the
food
depot
you'll
see
is
1.3
million
for
food
mobile
dose,
which
is
basically
a
non-profit
grocery
store
on
wheels
that
will
serve
all
of
northern
new
mexico.
You
can
literally
take
a
grocery
cart
into
it
and
shop
as
if
you
were
shopping
in
an
actual
grocery
store,
very,
very
proud
of
this
and
excited
to
see
local
food
in
their
traditional
foods,
et
cetera
and
no
matter
how
remote
you
are.
The
food
depot
will
come
to
you
so
we're
again.
C
F
Of
funding
for
santa
fe,
indian
school,
for
families
to
access
local
food
through
mogro
and
funding
for
reunity
resources
and
various
we
need
those
for
specific
projects
around
the
reunity
project
is
really
cool
and
we
didn't
they.
That's
not
enough.
I
feel
like
there
we
need
they
need
more
funding.
That's
all
we
had
available
for
that
specific
project,
but
I
know
reunity
is
also
thinking
about
how
to
use
number
twos
and
gleaning
and
workforce
development
around
that
piece
here
in
the
city.
F
So
so
that's
just
a
quick
snapshot
of
the
of
the
funding
for
santa
fe
and
for
the
county,
just
under
2
million
of
the
10
million
investment
of
the
state.
F
So
with
that,
that
is
all
I
have
for
you
today
again
with
with
an
invitation.
I
would
be
happy
to
come
back
in
a
few
months
with
the
santa
fe
specific
presentation
and
just
know
that
we
are
excited
to
work
in
partnership
with
the
city
and
the
county.
I
I
live
here.
F
I
love
santa
fe
and
I
feel
like
we
have
a
lot
of
opportunity
to
show
again
that
relationship
between
state
and
local,
that
it
really
does
take
all
partners
on
the
same
page
and
so
again
would
love
to
come
back
to
a
presentation
for
you
all
and
invite
you
all
to
work
with
us
work
with
us
on
this
thing.
That
is
the
food
initiative
across
the
state.
So
thank
you
for
the
time
and
if
you
have
any
questions,
wonderful.
A
Thank
you
so
much,
and
I
think
that
would
be
really
wonderful
to
to
have
you
back
in
a
few
months
and
so
loretta.
Well,
while
I
am
well
it's
on
my
brain,
let's
put
it
on
that
future
presentation
list,
because
I
think
it
would
be
really
helpful
and
that
there
are
many
of
us
that
are
very
interested
in
where
those
partnerships
lay
and
what
opportunities
we
have
at
the
city
to
find
ways
to
really
leverage
the
work
the
state
is
doing
to
to
benefit
the
community.
So
thank
you
so
much.
A
It's
really
exciting
to
see
the
focus
that
the
governor
and
the
state
are
putting
on
the
issues
of
food
and
hunger
and
feeding
individuals
and
supporting
agriculture.
So
thank
you
for
your
work.
E
E
E
F
Madam
chair
members
of
the
committee
council,
garcia,
I
mean
you
all
know
this
right,
you're,
looking
back
and
forward
at
the
same
time,
so
yeah
we've
been
prepping
for
24,
for
I
don't
know,
months
and
months
and
months,
and
it's
a
funny
place
to
be
so
I
will
say
we
are
looking
to
increase
that
dollar
by
quite
a
bit
and
also
looking
to
make
sure
that
the
funding
is
reoccurring
and
in
the
base
versus
one
time
for
some
of
these
projects,
it's
appropriate
to
do
one-time
funds
and
to
show
impact
right
and
show
that
we
can.
F
The
other
piece
that
I
want
to
mention
is
the
our
legislative
partners.
Don't
always
trust
state
government
to
get
funds
out
into
the
world.
They
have
good
reason
to
have
that
distrust
right.
So
I'm
proud
we
have
every
every
single
one
of
those
dollars
is
out
and
ready
to
go
and
out
into
the
world,
and
so
we're
proud
of
that.
And
that's
because
we
have,
we
were
able
to
funnel
it
through
one
agency
and
to
track
it
very
cleanly
right.
F
So
I
will
say
we're
prepping
for
24
we're
looking
at
some
big
once
in
a
generational
investment
across
the
board
for
seniors
and
children
and
our
farmers
and
again
and
where
those
systems
intersect.
So
at
a
later
time
I
will
be
able
to
more
formally
brief
you
on
on
the
direction
that
we're
heading.
E
A
C
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
and
thank
you
for
the
presentation
just
exciting
to
see
so
many
different
agencies
working
together
in
unison.
It
doesn't.
F
C
Very
often,
and
just
how
it
was
broken
down
and
the
connection
to
each
of
them,
I
was
really
excited
to
see
college
food
and
security
pilot.
I
think
that's
like
a
missing
piece
that
we
never
really
we
joked
about
it
in
college,
but
there's
a
lot
of
people
that
a
lot
of
students
that
didn't
have
food
security
and
was
going.
You
know
really
not
eating
well,
and
how
can
you
learn
when
you're
not
eating?
C
C
Of
course,
the
one
that
I
just
think
that
was
exceptionally
exceptionally
low
is
the
nmda
in
this
2.6
and
if
we're
trying
to
put
healthy
food
into
our
into
the
system
in
various
ways
and
looking
at
health
and
food
security,
I
just
felt
like
that
was
like
where
we
should
have
put
the
bulk
of
it,
because
we're
trying
to
to
support
the
local
food
system
and
be
able
to
expand
out.
So
I
think
it's
far
too
low.
Do
you
do
you?
F
Madam
chair
counselor,
via
real-
I
you
know
I
have
to
like
I
don't
what
day
is
it
just
kidding,
so
we
so
we
built
those
off
of
projections
right
and
so
the
the
million
I
think
for
nmda,
and
I
will
say
before
I
try
and
answer
your
question.
We
have
this
beautiful
thing
happening
in
new
mexico,
where,
for
better
for
worse,
some
people
have
differing
opinions
on
this.
All
of
these
agencies
are
shouldering
local
agricultural
work
right.
F
So
I
came
from
public
education
department
before
I
was
in
the
governor's
office
and
I
did
literally
primarily
training
farmers
for
our
farm
to
school
program.
So
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
that's
clear
that
you
know
at
least
half
of
these
agencies
meet
regularly
to
support
farmers
to
support
the
system
right,
and
so
I
think,
that's
important
to
say,
yeah.
F
The
dollar
amounts
were
based
on
initial
projections
and
then,
of
course,
we're
sort
of
carved
were
decreased
over
time
based
on
the
legislative
session,
so
I
will
say
that
and
also
the
capacity
of
the
agencies
so
for
nmda
the
double
up
food
bucks.
You
know
we've
grown
that
program
exponentially.
There
is
concern
from
some
parties
that
we
don't
have
enough
local
food
in
the
state
to
fulfill
that
dollar
amount
and
we
say
challenge
accepted
so
we'll
see
what
happens
this
year
and
sorry.
This
flies
really.
F
Horses
at
my
house,
so
it's
like
yeah,
it's
a
thing
healthy
and
the
healthy
soil
program.
Also
is
a
one
million
dollar
pot
of
funds,
also
not
enough,
but
that's
the
there
are
priorities
around
building
soil
and
again
connecting
those
producers
to
our
food
system.
More
broadly,
so
I
agree
with
you.
I
think
it's
an
issue
of
capacity
at
the
agency
level,
but
I
did
just
want
to
make
that
the
first
point
clear
that
we.
F
Pam
and
others
can
speak
to
this
from
experience
that
we
really
do
have
all
the
agencies
on
deck,
supporting
food
businesses
and
agriculture.
We
and
my
last
comment,
I'm
sorry,
I'm
getting
sort
of
unwieldy
here,
but
we
did
just
hire
four
new
people
across
state
government
to
just
do
food
systems
work.
So,
in
addition
to
my
position,
that's
privately
funded
in
the
governor's
office,
we
have
a
food
system
specialist
at
economic
development.
F
F
We
have
a
food
system,
a
food
security
coordinator
in
aging
food
security
coordinator
at
our
early
childhood
agency,
security
coordinator
versus
department,
so
and
those
four
individuals
with,
in
addition
to
myself,
are
acting
as
a
cohort
to
really
try
to
comprehensively
address
this
thing.
That
is
our
food
system.
So,
let's
make
that
comment
too.
C
Thank
you,
the
one
agency
I
was
trying
to
think
how
they
fit
in
and
why
they're,
not
theirs
state
engineers
or
how
the
water
systems
and
yeah
just
the
equity
part
of
that
and
are
they
part
of
the
conversation?
I
know
the
psyche
association
is,
but
I'm
always
curious.
How
which
partners
at
that
level
really
looking
at
sustainability
and
in
our
water
are
part
of
this
big
picture.
F
So,
madam
chair
and
counselor
via
real,
so
I
think
the
in
the
beginning,
when
we
initially
had
these
conversations,
it
was
big
picture
right.
It
was
everything,
throw
everything
in
the
spaghetti
on
the
wall
and
see
what
sticks.
F
I
was
advised
over
time
that
we
really
should
focus
on
the
things
that
we
can
directly,
that
I
can
directly
work
on
and
really
interface
with
and
change
quickly.
So
my
scope
and
the
food
initiative
got
really
focused
again
on
that,
where
we
can
support
local
agricultural
and
food
businesses
to
support
our
the
people
that
need
the
most
in
this
state
and
then
improving
the
system
or
broadly
so
that
our
emergency
food
systems
work
so
that
yeah
I
can
access
high
quality
local
food.
F
Wherever
I
go
right,
no
matter
where
I
am
in
the
state,
we
have
left
the
water,
the
politics
of
the
50-year
water
plan.
To
the
state
engineer,
I
will
say
that
in
the
framework
there
are
recommendations
around
incentivizing
agricultural
practices
that
conserve
water
right
that
protects
soil
that
protect
land.
C
E
C
The
one
thing
I
was
just
curious
about
when
you
were
talking
about
the
supply
chain
and
what
I've
noticed,
even
just
worse
with
the
pandemic,
is
like
the
processing
of
meat
is
just
there's
nowhere
to
no
butchers,
no
ways
to
buy
local
meat
to
be
able
to
well.
We
want
to
support
local
meat
growers
or
animals
and
then
there's
nowhere
to
process
it,
and
there
was
this
weight
that
was
like
eight,
I
don't
know,
maybe
a
year
to
process.
So
I'm
curious.
F
So
I
am
not
a
meat
expert,
but
I
will
say
we're
in
this
funny
place
of
trying
of
creating
the
market
through
all
the
nm
grown
programs
and
showing
and
justifying
need,
while
on
the
flip
side,
supporting
nmda
and
other
agencies
to
really
make
the
case
to
invest
in.
I
know
that
we
recently
the
legislature
did
allocate
funds
for
a
state
inspector
right
and
the
usda
inspector
is
a
key
part
of
the
larger
puzzle.
F
So
I
would
say
the
system's
sort
of
building
itself
in
the
moment
nmda's
projection
is
our
projections
are
that
it's
going
to
take
probably
three
to
four
years
for
that
infrastructure
really
to
be
in
place
to
meet
the
needs
of
our
communities
and
to
meet
them
each
of
our
meat
producers
yeah
but
yeah.
Definitely
it
is
being
talked
about
in
every
circle
that
I'm
in,
and
it
was
a
part
of
these
conversations.
We
made
sure
that
we
also
were
working
with
our
ranchers
in
addition
to
fruit
and
veggie
producers.
C
F
Madam
chair
and
counselor,
we
are
happy
to
say
that
so
taos
was
the
other.
There
was
three
really
large
buckets
of
funds
out
of
that
10
million
dollar
infrastructure
grant
I
spoke
to
one
was
the
food
depot.
The
second
was
a
food
distribution
hub
in
grants,
the
city
of
grants-
and
the
third
was
the
taos
county
economic
development
corporation
in
partnership
with
taos
county
to
stand
up
the
mobile
montanza
and
get
that
out
into
the
world
from
what
I
gather
we're
going
tomorrow.
F
Literally,
is
it's
a
few
weeks
out
of
actually
being
able
to
for
that
to
be
used
by
ranchers
up
north,
and
that
project
is
an
impeccable?
They
are
looking
at
the
mobile
matanza,
but
also
like
a
cut
and
wrap
facility
for
tc
edc
to
be
able
to
process
and
package,
and
so
they
really
were
thinking
through
the
whole
value
chain.
As
I
know,
our
partners
do
here.
That's.
A
A
You
know,
there's
always
that
that
component
of
what
might
work
at
the
national
scale
doesn't
work
for
new
mexico
nine
times
out
of
ten
and
then
and
then
throughout
new
mexico,
just
the
amount
of
diversity
in
this
state
and
the
different
needs
within
the
state,
and
so
I
really
just
want
to
applaud
your
work,
applaud
the
governor
for
putting
her
focus
on
this
and
for
really
for
the
state
legislature
for
allocating
resources.
A
Course,
thank
you
all
right.
We
have
already
approved
everything
on
consent.
Nothing
on
discussion,
no
executive
session
onto
matters
from
staff.
A
A
We
ran
into
a
snag
where
we
were
not
sure
that
we
were
going
to
be
able
to
get
this
streamed
live
on
youtube
today
and,
of
course
that
is
you
know,
we
we
advertise
to
the
public
that
they'll
be
able
to
watch
this
on
youtube,
and
so
that
was
really
concerning
to
me
that
I
was
probably
actually
going
to
cancel
our
meeting
if
we
were
not
able
to
do
that
so
alex.
Thank
you
so
much
for
being
here.
That
makes
a
huge
difference.
A
I
know
that
there
was
a
lot
that
you
guys
had
to
juggle
and
there
were
some
staffing
issues
so
shout
out
to
alex
the
itd
department
to
director
gonzalez,
and
it
was
really
really
wonderful
that
they
were
able
to
pull
together
as
a
team
to
to
get
this
streamed
on
youtube.
So
I
hope
some
members
of
the
public
are
watching
and
if
not
watch
later,
because
it'll
be
there
for
eternity
all
right
just
as
long
as
youtube's
live.
G
I'm
sure
yes,
if
I
could,
I
just
realized
I
wanted
to
have
something
for
matters
from
staff,
but
I'll
wait
until
you're
done.
Oh.
A
G
G
Sorry,
one
more
matter
from
staff.
I
wanted
to
put
into
the
record
to
recognize
christina
hilsick,
cody,
minich
and
judy
sanchez
who
were
designated
and
awarded
a
40-40
business
leader
awards,
and
they
will
be
vetted
next
friday
at
a
celebration.
So
I
want
to
just
let
the
public
know
that
we
have
three
staff
that
were
recognized
in
the
city
of
santa
fe
and
we
were
excited
about
that.
So
I
wanted
to
share
that.
