THE TOWN OF ADDISON, REALLY NEW MAYOR AND COUNCIL IS JOHN CRAWFORD, DEPUTY CITY MANAGER.

THE ORGANIZATIONS WILL HAVE FIVE MINUTES TO DISCUSS THEIR MISSION AND WHAT TO DO, WHAT THEY DO TO SERVE THE ADDISON COMMUNITY.

WE WILL BE PRESENTING AN ALPHABETICAL ORDER.

HOWEVER, THE CAVENAUGH FLIGHT MUSEUM IS NOT PRESENTING TONIGHT.

SO IF WE COULD START OUT WITH THE ADDISON ARBOR FOUNDATION, WE HAVE DR.

JAY EIRICH HERE TODAY.

JAY, GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL BAS AND ARBOR FOUNDATION AS AN ALL VOLUNTEER FIVE OH ONE C THREE NONPROFIT ORGANIZATION WITH SEVEN BOARD OF DIRECTORS.

WE HAVE A BROAD CHARTER TO PROMOTE AND ENHANCE THE LANDSCAPING, PUBLIC ART, PUBLIC PARKS, AND PARKS AND RECREATION IN THE TOWN OF ADDISON.

IT'S VERY GOOD NEWS.

WE ARE CELEBRATING OUR 25TH ANNIVERSARY THIS YEAR.

YEAH, IT'S WONDERFUL.

NUMBER TWO, PLEASE.

UM, WE'VE MANAGED AND SPONSORED 17 NOTABLE PUBLIC ART PROJECTS SINCE 2012, THREE OF THE INSTALLATIONS WERE IN THIS FISCAL YEAR.

UH, NOW WE'RE THE COVID-19 GATE IMPACTS TIMING AND INITIATION OF SOME OF THOSE PROJECTS.

UH, WE DID PROVIDE FUNDING OF $25,480, WHICH INCLUDED $10,000 PLUS MATCH DONATIONS, $7,740 TO REPLACE 42 TREES THAT WERE DAMAGED IN THE JUNE, 2019 STORM, WHICH WORKS OUT TO A TOTAL OF ABOUT 300 NEW AND REPLACEMENT TREES TO DATE SLIDE NUMBER THREE, TWO OF OUR PROJECTS THAT WENT IN THIS YEAR WERE THE GIVERS, WHICH IS A COMBINATION OF TWO ARTISTS.

JIM EFFLER BUILT THE RAVENS AND SCOTT SHUBIN DID THE PERCH.

THIS SCULPTURE IS LOCATED ON QUORUM AVENUE, JUST NORTH BELTLINE.

NEXT TO THE EMILY BUILDING ON THE EAST SIDE OF THE AMNY BUILDING ON SPECTRUM IS SPECTRUM BY SCOTT SCHUMAN.

AND THAT WAS JUST RECENTLY INSTALLED SLIDE NUMBER FOUR, OUR OTHER ALLISON ARBOR PROJECT THIS YEAR WHERE THE, WHAT CREATURES THAT THE WHITE ROCK CREEK TRAIL, THESE WERE CARVED BY UGO, PRISCILLA YANO AND INCLUDED A BEAVER, AN OWL, A BEAR

[00:10:01]

KIND OF WOODPECKER.

THEY WERE ALL CARVED OUT OF THE LIVE TREE TRUNKS THAT WERE REMAINING OF TREES THAT HAD BEEN DESTROYED DURING THE STORM OF 2019.

AND WE THINK IT MAKES A NICE PLEASANT ADDITION TO THE TRAIL AND, UH, ADD SOME PLEASURE TO OUR COMMUNITY SLIDE NUMBER FIVE, UH, TANGO FANTASIA, WHICH IS BY DALLAS ARTISTS, ART FAIRCHILD, UH, THAT INSTALLATION IS A PLAN FOR THIS MONTH.

UH, AND IF YOU HAVE DRIVEN BY THE CONFERENCE CENTER, UH, YOU'LL NOTICE THAT IN THE ISLAND, THERE IS A FOUNDATION THAT WAS JUST RECENTLY POURED, UH, THAT IS THE FIRST OF THE FOUNDATION WORK FOR THE SCULPTURE.

UH, WE DO HOPE TO HAVE IT INSTALLED TOWARD THE, UH, THE END OF, OF JUNE 1ST PART OF JULY SLIDE NUMBER SIX.

UH, QUITO IS A KINETIC SCULPTURE BY DAVID B. HICKMAN.

UM, THE ADDISON ARBOR FOUNDATION PROCURED AND RESTORED QUITO IN 28 INSTALLATION OF THIS WORK IS PENDING SELECTION OF A LOCATION.

AND ONCE WE HAVE IDENTIFIED THAT WE WILL COME TO COUNCIL AND ADVISE COUNSEL OF THAT SITE AT THAT TIME SLIDE NUMBER SEVEN, THE BENEFITS OF THE ADDISON ARBOR FOUNDATION PROJECTS TO THE TOWN OF ADDISON.

UH, WE ACTIVELY MANAGE THE MAJOR ART PUBLIC ART PROJECTS, AND THAT IS TO IDENTIFY ARTISTS AND ARTWORKS ENTER INTO YOUR CONTRACTS, COORDINATE WITH SUPPLIERS AND THE TOWN, ET CETERA, AND ADMINISTER THE COMMUNITY GARDEN AND PROVIDE FUNDING TO SUPPLEMENT THE TOWN'S BUDGET FOR LANDSCAPING.

UM, THE, UH, ART COLLECTION PROMOTES ADDISON AS A PUBLIC ART DESTINATION AND WILL BE PART OF THE FEATURES OF THE NEW DARK SILVER LINE STATION.

THERE WILL BE 12 WINDSCREENS THAT WILL DEPICT IMAGES OF OUR PUBLIC ART.

WE ARE REQUESTING FUNDING OF $50,000 PLUS THE $15,000 MATCH, WHICH WILL ENABLE THE FOUNDATION TO CONTINUE, UH, OUR ACQUISITION OF PUBLIC ART AND LANDSCAPING PROJECTS.

OUR OTHER DONATIONS ARE EXPECTED TO BE GREATLY REDUCED BECAUSE OF COVID, UH, 19 IN FISCAL YEAR 2021.

UH, THIS WOULD ENABLE US TO, UH, ACQUIRE ONE TO TWO PUBLIC GARDENS INSTALLATIONS.

UH, AND IT'S A UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY AT THIS TIME, UH, BECAUSE OF COVID-19 A NUMBER OF ARTISTS DO NOT HAVE OUTLETS FOR THEIR ART, UH, OR HURTING FINANCIALLY, UM, JUST BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE NOT BUYING, BUYING ART AT THIS TIME.

AND THIS IS AN OUTSTANDING OPPORTUNITY FOR US TO SUPPORT THE ART COMMUNITY.

UH, WE WOULD ALSO PLAN ON LANDSCAPING AND TREES AND THEN OUR OPERATING COSTS, WHICH ARE KEPT TO A, TO A MINIMUM.

AND THAT IS ALL THAT I HAVE FOR THE SNR PRO FOUNDATION.

THANK YOU, JAY.

YOU KNOW, I'M VERY PROUD OF YOU SAYS I LIVE AT AMALIE EVERY DAY.

I SEE THE TWO ARTS, YOU KNOW, WHILE SPECTRUM ON QUORA AND I ENJOY THAT THOROUGHLY.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR GREAT TEAM EFFORT AND WE, WE DO APPRECIATE YOUR COMPLIMENT.

THANK YOU, JAY.

NEXT, WE HAVE LEE SESSLER WITH THE DALLAS CAT LADY LEE.

I'M SORRY.

BEFORE YOU GO.

AND JOHN, I APOLOGIZE FOR INTERRUPTING MAYOR AND COUNCIL.

THIS IS WEST.

UH, UNFORTUNATELY WE'RE HAVING A TECHNICAL ISSUE WHERE OUR MEETING IS NOT BEING BROADCAST TO EVERYBODY, THE VIDEO, AT LEAST, AND I MAY BE THE AUDIO, BUT EVERYTHING IS BEING RECORDED.

SO IT WILL BE AVAILABLE.

OBVIOUSLY AFTER THIS MEETING, IT WILL BE AVAILABLE.

AND, UM, AS SOON AS WE RESOLVE THE ISSUE, WE'LL MAKE SURE THAT IT'S BEING SHOWN MINE, BUT IT JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE EVERYBODY WAS AWARE OF THAT.

WE ARE AWARE THAT WE'RE TRYING TO FIX THAT, BUT WANTED TO MAKE SURE EVERYBODY, BUT YOU, YOU CAN GO AHEAD AND START.

NOW, LADY, ARE YOU WITH US? I THINK SHE NEEDS TO AMU LEE, ARE YOU WITH I'M NEW TO A COMPUTER.

YOU CAN GO.

YOU CAN GO AHEAD NOW.

[00:15:07]

WELL, WE'LL WORK ON THAT TECHNICAL THERE.

LET'S MOVE ON TO METRO CAREER MENTOR CARE SERVICES WITH DR.

AMY WILLIAMS AND TAMIKA CAS.

SO THAT IS, I HEARD SOMEBODY SAY METRO CREST.

THAT IS OUR SLIDE THOUGH.

AM I GOOD TO GO? YES.

MA'AM ALL RIGHT.

WELL, THANKS FOR HAVING ME HERE TONIGHT.

I'M GOING TO START BY TALKING JUST A LITTLE BIT ABOUT METROCARE AND THEN ABOUT THE COHEN CLINIC, WHERE I'M THE DIRECTOR.

SO METRO CARES AND DALLAS COUNTY, THE LARGEST PROVIDER OF MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES IN DALLAS COUNTY.

AND ONE OF THE CLINICS THAT, UM, STARTED BACK IN 2016, UM, THEY STARTED WANTING TO SERVE VETERANS AND THAT CLINIC IS RIGHT HERE IN ADDISON.

SO IF YOU WANT TO GO AHEAD AND FORWARD, WE ARE PART OF METRO CARE, BUT WE'RE FUNDED BY THE COHEN VETERANS NETWORK.

AND THE COHEN'S VETERAN NETWORK WAS STARTED IN 2015 AND IT'S A FIVE, A ONE C THREE NONPROFIT.

AND OUR MISSION IS TO SERVE VETERANS AND THEIR FAMILY MEMBERS THROUGH OUTPATIENT MENTAL HEALTH CARE.

SO IF YOU WOULD PLEASE FORWARD AND, UM, THESE ARE ALL THE CLINICS ACROSS THE COUNTRY, SO YOU CAN SEE, UM, OUR LOCATION IS LISTED AS DALLAS, TEXAS, AND THE NETWORK HAS GROWN SINCE THE LAST TIME I WAS HERE LAST YEAR.

UM, AND BY PROBABLY FOUR OR FIVE CLINICS YOU CAN FORWARD.

SO WHAT WE DO BASICALLY IS WORK IN PARTNERSHIP WITH CO AND WE'RE PART OF METRO CARE, BUT WE WORK IN PARTNERSHIP WITH KELLYN TO PROVIDE SERVICES TO VETERANS AND THEIR FAMILY MEMBERS WHO EITHER CAN'T GET HEALTHCARE AT THE VA WHO ARE AN ELIGIBLE FOR CARE BECAUSE OF A DISCHARGE STATUS, OR THEY DON'T HAVE SERVICE CONNECTION, UM, OR FAMILY MEMBERS WHO ARE NEVER ELIGIBLE FOR, UM, THE VA CARE.

AND SO WE'RE TRYING TO BASICALLY BRIDGE THAT GAP, UM, FOR VETERANS AND FAMILY MEMBERS.

AND WE FOCUS PRIMARILY ON POST NINE 11, BUT WE DO SEE SOME PRE NINE 11 VETERANS AND FAMILY MEMBERS AS WELL, PLEASE FORWARD.

SO, UM, WHY, LIKE, WHY DO WE NEED TO DO THIS? WELL, UNFORTUNATELY POST NINE 11 VETERANS, AS YOU MAY KNOW, ARE FACED WITH LONG WAIT TIMES, UM, SOMETIMES AT OTHER BARRIERS.

AND SO BASICALLY THE COHEN CLINIC WAS CREATED TO FIX THAT, UM, TO REDUCE BARRIERS TO CARE AND TO ALLOW THEM TO GET CARE, TO TRANSITION BETTER FROM THEIR MILITARY STATUS BACK INTO THE COMMUNITY, PLEASE FORWARD.

SO IN THE FOURTH YEAR, WHICH WE JUST WRAPPED UP.

SO OUR FISCAL YEAR IS THE GREAT YEARS FROM MAY TO APRIL.

SO WE JUST WRAPPED UP OUR YEAR FOUR, WE SERVED 811 INDIVIDUALS.

SO THAT'S INCLUDING VETERANS AND FAMILY MEMBERS.

WE'RE ABOUT 65% VETERAN, 35% FAMILY.

AND, UM, OUR, WE DO CLIENT EXPERIENCE SURVEYS THAT SHOW, UM, A LOT OF SATISFACTION WITH THE CLINIC.

I'M 98% SAID THAT THEY WOULD RECOMMEND THE CLINIC.

UM, AND WE ARE ALSO SHOWING REALLY GOOD RESULTS OF THOSE THAT RECEIVE TREATMENT AT OUR CLINIC.

IN THE LAST QUARTER, WE LOOKED AT THE NUMBERS THERE, UM, 83% OF PEOPLE WITH PTSD EXPERIENCED A MEANINGFUL CHANGE, A REDUCTION IN THEIR SCORES, 60% WERE IN REMISSION AFTER TREATMENT.

AND THEN ABOUT HALF OF PEOPLE THAT HAVE DEPRESSION, UM, ALSO SHOWED A DROP.

SO, UM, WE'RE DOING REALLY GOOD WORK AND IT'S EFFECTIVE.

WE DO TARGET A TIME LIMITED TREATMENT.

SO PEOPLE ARE ON AVERAGE AT THE CLINIC, MAYBE THREE TO FOUR MONTHS, UM, IS AN AVERAGE LENGTH OF CARE.

IF YOU PLEASE GO FORWARD, THAT MAY BE THE END OF THE PRESENTATION, BUT I'D LIKE TO TALK ABOUT WHAT OUR SPECIFIC ASK IS FOR.

WE WERE ASKING FOR JUST OPERATIONAL SUPPORT.

PART OF OUR CONTRACT WITH CVN SAYS THAT WE HAVE TO COME UP WITH, UM, IN YEAR FIVE 30, 5% OF OUR OPERATING BUDGET FROM GRANTS AND PRIVATE DONATIONS.

AND SO WE WERE GOING TO ASK FOR JUST STRAIGHT OPERATIONAL SUPPORT, BUT WITH ALL OF THIS BEEN GOING ON IN THE PAST WEEK PLUS COVID, AND WE'VE BROKEN IT DOWN AND WE'RE ASKING FOR SOME TECHNOLOGY HELP SO THAT OUR STAFF CAN DO TELE-HEALTH FROM HOME AND FROM WORK.

SO WE'RE ASKING FOR EXTRA MONITORS, DOCKING STATIONS, WEBCAMS, AND THEN, AND THAT'S 25% OF OUR ASK.

ANOTHER 25% OF OUR HOUSE IS ACTUALLY THE SUPPORT OUR NEW DIVERSITY COMMITTEE TO LOOK AT RACIAL INJUSTICE AND TO BETTER MESSAGE TO AFRICAN-AMERICAN IN PARTICULAR VETERANS AND FAMILY MEMBERS, EVEN THOUGH THE DIVERSITY COMMITTEE IS MORE THAN JUST ABOUT RACE, UM, AND TO BRING IN PEOPLE, TO HELP TRAIN US, TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE DOING THE BEST WORK WE CAN WITH US FOLKS.

UM, AND THEN THE LAST 50% IS TO SUPPORT OPERATIONS.

SO DIRECT TREATMENT SERVICES IN THE WAY THAT I STRUCTURED IT IN THE ASK IS TO ASK FOR, UM, SUPPORT OF A CLINIC, UM, THERAPISTS SALARY.

SO BASICALLY 10% OF THEIR SALARY FOR ONE YEAR, UM, WOULD BE SUPPORTED BY THIS GRANT.

SO THAT'S WHAT WE'RE ASKING FOR.

WE DIDN'T HAVE THE SLIDE IN HERE.

UM, I'M GLAD BECAUSE WE SHIFTED TO RESPOND TO THE RECENT NEEDS THAT WE'VE SEEN IN OUR COMMUNITY AND IN THE COUNTRY CRITICALLY LOW.

UH, AND YOU KNOW, ALL OF THE BLOOD DONOR CENTERS ARE, WE'RE HAVING A SPECIAL EVENTS AND TO MAKE IT EASY.

THAT'S NOT ME.

COUNSEL, DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR DR.

[00:20:03]

WILLIAMS? NO, BUT I WOULD SAY CONGRATULATIONS.

NICE PIVOT, DR.

WILLIAMS. THANK YOU.

YEAH, I WAS ACTUALLY TOO, BECAUSE IDEA, SHE SAID, WHAT DO IT, WHAT IF WE DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS? AND I'M LIKE, THAT IS BRILLIANT.

AND I REALLY FEEL GOOD ABOUT IT.

AND MY STAFF IS EXCITED ABOUT IT AS WELL.

THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME.

WE'LL MOVE ON TO METRO CHRIS SERVICES.

MIKE HARRIS.

GOOD EVENING.

I'M MIKE HARRIS, DIRECTOR OF DEVELOPMENT WITH METRO SERVICES.

AND I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK WITH YOU BRIEFLY ABOUT, UH, THE SERVICES WE PROVIDE TO ADAMSON RESIDENTS.

UM, UH, THAT SLIDE IS SPINE RIGHT THERE.

UH, SO MOST OF Y'ALL Y'ALL ARE FAMILIAR WITH METRO SERVICES.

WE'VE BEEN IN THE AREA FOR ABOUT 49 YEARS PROVIDING PROGRAMS FOR SENIORS AND FAMILIES, UH, THAT, UH, ARE IN A LOW INCOME SITUATION.

UH, WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE HAVING A GREAT PLACE TO WORK FOR VOLUNTEERS TO HAVE A GREAT EXPERIENCE, BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY, WE WANT TO, UH, MAKE SURE THAT THOSE NEIGHBORS THAT WE ARE HELPING ARE TREATED WITH DIGNITY AND RESPECT.

SO, UH, BEFORE YOU'VE GOT A LITTLE BIT OF INFORMATION ON JUST, UH, WHAT WE'RE GOING TO BE BY THE END OF THIS FISCAL YEAR IN SEPTEMBER.

UH, A LOT OF THIS IS GOING TO BE RE RELATED TO, UH, THE COVID-19, UH, THAT HAS MADE A SIGNIFICANT IMPACT ON OUR AGENCY OVER THE LAST THREE MONTHS.

UH, SO WE'RE LOOKING AT HAVING, UH, SERVED AROUND A LITTLE OVER 20,000 INDIVIDUALS, UH, FOR THIS FISCAL YEAR, BY THE TIME THAT HANDS, AS YOU SEE, THAT'S ABOUT A 60% INCREASE OUR, UH, RENT ASSISTANCE AND OUR FOOD, UH, SINCE MAY, SINCE MARCH HAS SKYROCKETED, UH, AS YOU CAN SEE THERE, WE'VE GOT OVER 9,000 PANTRY VISITS AS OPPOSED TO, UH, 2,243, THAT SAME TIMEFRAME, UH, LAST YEAR, UH, EACH DAY WE'RE PUTTING OUT ABOUT 10,000 MEALS THROUGH OUR PANTRY, WHICH WE'VE TURNED INTO A DRIVE THROUGH RATHER THAN THE, UH, UH, KIND OF THE, THE FRIENDLY GROCERY STORE WE HAD, UH, SET UP, UH, JUST TO KEEP UP WITH THE DEMAND.

OUR RENT ASSISTANCE HAS ALSO INCREASED, UH, AS YOU SEE, 682% SINCE MARCH, UH, THAT IS A TOTAL OF OVER $500,000 THAT WE PROVIDED TO FAMILIES.

UH, WE'VE PROVIDED 749, UH, UH, MONTHS OF RENT, UH, TO THOSE FAMILIES.

UH, AND THAT IS IN CONTRAST TO 221, THAT SAME TIMEFRAME LAST YEAR, THAT ALSO IS CREATING SOME, UH, INCREASES IN OUR WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT.

UH, WE'VE GOT, UH, ABOUT 120% INCREASE THERE.

A LOT OF THOSE, UH, THAT WE'RE HELPING RIGHT NOW, OR WITH RESUMES, JUST MAKING SURE THEY'RE READY TO GET BACK OUT INTO THE WORKFORCE.

AND BY THE END OF THE FISCAL YEAR, WE'LL HAVE OVER 5,000 VOLUNTEERS PROVIDING 47,000 HOURS, JUST A LITTLE UPDATE ON ADDISON ALONE, UH, FORM THE TIMEFRAME, UH, MARCH THROUGH MAY, WE PROVIDED, UH, 66 MONTHS OF RENTAL ASSISTANCE.

AND THAT IS IN CONTRAST TO 16 THAT WE ONLY DID LAST YEAR DURING THAT SAME TIMEFRAME OF, OF MARCH TO MAY.

UH, AND THAT IS AT $46,000 AS OPPOSED TO ABOUT $4,500.

OUR FOOD PANTRY VISITS THAT'S UP AS WELL, UH, FROM A 139 LAST YEAR, THAT SAME TIMEFRAME TO 459 THIS YEAR.

SO, UH, A LOT OF, UH, OF, UH, FOLKS THAT WERE HELPING, UH, DURING THIS PEN PANDEMIC HAS REALLY INCREASED OUR LOAD.

JUST SOME OF THE THINGS THAT WE'RE DOING WITHIN THE COMMUNITY, WE'VE CONVENED ROUND TABLE DISCUSSIONS WITH OUR COMMUNITY LEADERS AND OUR STAKEHOLDERS AND PROVIDING, UH, GETTING INFORMATION FROM THEM ON HOW WE CAN BEST ADDRESS AFFORDABLE HOUSING ACCESS TO HEALTH CARE AND OTHER QUALITY OF LIFE ISSUES FOR OUR RESIDENTS.

UH, WE'VE DONE THE POINT IN TIME HOMELESS COUNT, WHICH HAS DONE EVERY YEAR IN JANUARY.

IT'S A NATIONAL COUNT OF ALL OF THE HOMELESS IN THE NATION, UH, TO GET A BETTER IDEA ABOUT HOW TO SERVE THAT, THAT COMMUNITY.

WE ALSO HAVE OUR SAFE AND SOUND'S, UH, HOUSING STABILITY PROGRAM.

WE'VE STARTED THAT WITH THE CITY OF FARMERS BRANCH TO ADDRESS A LITTLE BIT DEEPER WITH THE HOUSING INSTABILITY, FOR FAMILIES THAT HAVE CHILDREN AND CFP ISD.

WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT, UH, WE'RE NOT JUST DOING ONE MONTH RENT KIT.

WHAT CAN WE DO MORE IN DEPTH IN SOME CASE MANAGEMENT TO HELP THOSE FAMILIES ESCAPE POVERTY? LASTLY, ON THAT LIST IS OUR CAPITAL CAMPAIGN.

WE STARTED A CAPITAL CAMPAIGN, UH, ABOUT A MONTH BEFORE THE PANDEMIC HIT.

AND SO WE'VE PUT THAT ON HOLD AND, BUT WE'LL START THAT BACK UP WITHIN THE NEXT MONTH.

UH, WE ARE, UH, BUSTING AT OUR SEAMS. AND SO, UH, WE'RE LOOKING AT, UH, DOING OUR CAPITAL CAMPAIGN, GETTING A LARGER SPACE AND, UH, HOPEFULLY BEING ABLE TO SERVE

[00:25:01]

OUR NEIGHBORS.

UH, NEXT SLIDE PLEASE.

UH, SO THAT'S ALL I'VE GOT TONIGHT.

UH, THANK YOU FOR BEING A GREAT PARTNER OF OURS, UH, AND WE TRULY APPRECIATE YOUR COMMITMENT TO SERVE, UH, HELP US SERVE OUR NEIGHBORS.

THANK YOU, MIKE.

NEXT, WE HAVE JASON JOHNSON'S.

SPINALS IN DANIELLE SOFA WITH THE OUTCRY THEATER.

HELLO, MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL.

MY NAME IS JASON JOHNSON SPINOZA AND I'M THE MARKETING DIRECTOR OF OUTCRY THEATER, A FIVE OH ONE C THREE NONPROFIT THEATER COMPANY.

I'M ALSO ONE OF THE DIRECTORS AND TEACHERS AT OUTCRY.

MY NAME IS DANIELLE SOFA.

I'M THE MARKETING DIRECTOR AT OUTCRY THEATER.

THEATER WAS THRILLED TO BE SELECTED TO RECEIVE A GRANT FROM THE TOWN OF ADDISON IN LAST YEAR'S ROUND OF GRANT APPLICATIONS.

AND WE HOPE YOU DECIDE TO BOTH CONTINUE AND DEEPEN YOUR SUPPORT THEATER.

THE MISSION OF OUTRIGHT THEATER IS TO DRAW YOUTH AND YOUNG ADULTS TO THE THEATER AS BOTH AUDIENCE AND PARTICIPANTS, OUTRIGHT THEATER STRIPES, TO INTEGRATE THE ARTS INTO THE LIVES OF YOUNG PEOPLE, TO ENCOURAGE THEM TO BECOME LIFELONG ARTISTS AND ARTS APPRECIATORS OUTRIGHT THEATER UTILIZES BOLD ARTISTIC VISION, HIGHLY PHYSICAL STAGING, AND THEN ENERGETIC AND VISCERAL PERFORMANCE STYLE.

AND WITH RIGOROUS REHEARSALS, TENACIOUS, ATTENTION TO DETAIL AND UNWAVERING DEDICATION TO EXCELLENCE.

OUTRIGHT THEATRE FOCUSES ON DEVELOPING STELLAR PERFORMANCES AND EXCEPTIONAL STORYTELLING.

A HUGE PART OF HOW WE ACHIEVE OUR MISSION IS THROUGH OUR OUTCRY YOUTH THEATER PROGRAM.

OUTCRY YOUTH THEATER SERVES AGES FIVE TO 18 WITH APPROXIMATELY EIGHT PRODUCTIONS A YEAR, SUMMER CAMPS AND CLASSES WE OFFER CHALLENGING FOR OUR YOUNG ARTIST ACTORS, PUSHING THEM TO LEARN AND GROW AS BOTH PERFORMERS AND PEOPLE.

NOW, WE WANT TO TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT HOW OUTBREAK THEATER, WHAT OUTCRY THEATER DOES FOR THE TOWN OF ADDISON.

OUTCRY THEATER BRINGS PARTICIPANTS AND MEMBERS FROM ALL OVER THE METROPLEX INTO ADDISON.

OUR YOUTH PRODUCTIONS ARE LARGE CAST PRODUCTION, GENERALLY WITH 20 TO 40 ACTORS WHO COME FROM ALL OVER THE METROPLEX.

HE'S AFTER SPEND 11 DAYS, NOT AS IN FOR EVERY PRODUCTION AND SINCE MANY OF THEM DON'T DRIVE, THEIR FAMILIES ARE COMING AS WELL.

ALL OF THESE ACTORS IN THEIR FAMILY, THEY'RE EATING AND SHOPPING IN THE ADDISON AREA WHILE ATTENDING REHEARSALS AND PERFORMANCES.

WE HOLD CAST PARTIES AND ADDISON WITH HUGE GROUPS OF KIDS AND THEIR FAMILIES EATING AT RESTAURANTS LIKE ON THE BORDER BJ'S RESTAURANT AND THE LAZY DOG RESTAURANT.

AND WHEN THE FAMILY AND FRIENDS OF ACTORS COME TO SEE THE PRODUCTION, THEY ARE INTRODUCED TO THE BEAUTIFUL AS AN AREA.

THEATER OFFERS TOP NOTCH, YOUTH THEATER, AS WELL AS PROFESSIONAL PRODUCTIONS IN ADDISON OUTCRY, THEATERS, PROFESSIONAL PRODUCTIONS PRESENT UNIQUE, CHALLENGING, RARELY PRODUCED SHOWS THAT THE PUBLIC WOULD MOST LIKELY NOT BE ABLE TO SEE IN THE METROPLEX OR PROFESSIONAL PRODUCTIONS REGULARLY RECEIVE GREAT REVIEWS AND COLUMN AWARD NOMINATIONS, LOCAL CRITIC, CHRISTOPHER, STEPHEN SODEN WROTE IN THEIR SHORT AND ASTONISHING HISTORY.

OUTCRY THEATER HAS PROVEN THEMSELVES TO REPEATEDLY BE A JAZZY CANNY RUCKUS DAVID IN THE FACE OF THE ELIAS WHILE YOU THEATER IS POPULAR NORTH TEXAS, HOW CAN I USE THEATER IS UNIQUE.

WE PRODUCE PLAYS THAT YOUNG ACTORS WOULD NOT GET THE OPPORTUNITY TO ACT IN, IN ANY OTHER THEATER.

THESE INCLUDE CHALLENGING SHOWS LIKE ANTON CHECKOFF, THE SEAGULL, AND RARELY PRETTY SHOWS LIKE THE CRIPPLE OF INISH MON ARE YOU SEEING PRODUCTION PRODUCTIONS HAVE ONE NUMBER OF DALLAS AWARDS OVER THE YEARS, OUTCRY THEATER PROVIDES FREE TICKETS TO ADDISON RESIDENTS GIVING AWAY YOUR SELECT NUMBER OF FAMILY PACKS, EACH SHOW.

AND WE'VE BEEN COORDINATING WITH THE US AND MARKETING AND COMMUNICATIONS DEPARTMENT TO DISTRIBUTE TICKETS.

UNFORTUNATELY, RIGHT BEFORE WE WERE ABOUT TO BEGIN OUR FIRST GIVEAWAY WITH OUR PRODUCTION OF THE LITTLE PRINCE, WHICH WAS SET AT THE BEGINNING OF MARCH, THE CORONAVIRUS PANDEMIC HIT POSTPONING THE PRODUCTION UNTIL SEPTEMBER, BUT WITH LIVE THEATER TICKETS CURRENTLY ON HOLD, AS WE HAVE PLANS TO GIVE AWAY VIRTUAL TICKETS TO ADD SOME RESIDENTS FOR OUR UPCOMING SUMMER STREAMING PRODUCTIONS OF A LITTLE PRINCESS AND MACBETH, OH GREAT THEATER TEACHES, TEACHES ACTING AND THEATER TO LOCAL YOUTH.

WE BEGAN THE PROCESS OF DISCUSSIONS AND PLANNING WITH GEORGE HERBERT WALKER, BUSH ELEMENTARY.

COOL IN THE SPRING TO BUILD AN AFTERSCHOOL THEATER PROGRAM.

DURING THIS WEEKLY ONE HOUR CLASS, STUDENTS WILL LEARN SKILLS SUCH AS MOVEMENT, POSTURE, DICTION, PROJECTION, IMPROVISATION, CHARACTERIZATION, AND MORE UNFORTUNATELY RIGHT AS WE WERE ABOUT TO START SCHOOL, SHUT DOWN FOR THE PANDEMIC.

AT THIS POINT, WE CAN NOT BE POSITIVE THAT AN AFTERSCHOOL PROGRAM WILL BE ALLOWED AT GEORGE BUSH ELEMENTARY.

CAN WE WILL BE LOOKING INTO ALTERNATIVE ALTERNATIVE VENUES FOR AN ADDISON BASED YOUTH PROGRAM.

TO BLOCKING REHEARSING AND TEACHING DANCE CHOREOGRAPHY OVER ZOOM, TO LIVE STREAMS, PLAY READINGS.

THE CORONAVIRUS PANDEMIC HAS THROWN MANY BUSINESSES INTO TURMOIL AND THEATER COMMUNITY HAS BEEN HIT PARTICULARLY HARD.

WE HAVE POSTPONED THREE OF OUR SPRING PRODUCTIONS.

WE'VE HAD TO CANCEL PRODUCTION, BUT WHAT WE HAVE NOT DONE IS GIVEN UP, WE'VE BEEN INNOVATING AND DOING OUR BEST TO KEEP OUR STUDENTS ENGAGED AND ACTIVE FROM CHALLENGING OUR STUDENTS TO LEARN SONGS AND MONOLOGUE TO ONLINE ZOOM BASED CLASSES,

[00:30:01]

WE ARE CONTINUING TO INNOVATE, BUT THINGS ARE CHANGING EVERY DAY.

WE HAVE CAMPS STARTING IN JUNE THAT WE'LL BE REHEARSING USING SAFE SOCIAL DISTANCING GUIDELINES FROM OPEN TEXAS.

FOR TWO OF OUR MORE IN DEPTH CAMPS, WE WILL BE FILMING THEIR PERFORMANCES WITHOUT AN AUDIENCE, AND THEN STREAMING THE VIDEOS ONLINE FOR TWO WEEKS.

WITH THE RECENTLY ANNOUNCED REOPENING OF THEATER VENUES, WE HOPE TO BE PERFORMING AT THE ADDISON THEATER CENTER AGAIN BY AUGUST, DESPITE ALL OF HER EFFORTS.

THIS IS A VERY HARD TIME AND WE'RE NOT BRINGING IN THE REVENUE WE WOULD IN A NORMAL YEAR.

THAT'S WHY IT'S SO IMPORTANT FOR US TO CONTINUE TO RECEIVE FINANCIAL SUPPORT IN THE TOWN OF ADDISON.

WE WOULD ALSO REQUEST THAT YOU INCREASE OUR GRANT FROM THE $5,000 WE RECEIVED LAST YEAR TO $10,000.

OUTRIGHT THEATER LOVED PERFORMING AT THE ODDS AND BE YOUR CENTER.

AND WE ARE PROUD TO BE SPONSORED BY THE TOWN OF ADDISON.

WE HOPE THAT WE CAN CONTINUE TO GROW AND CONTRIBUTE EVEN MORE TO THE AMAZING COMMUNITY OF MADISON.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR TIME.

AND WE LOOK FORWARD TO ANSWERING ANY QUESTIONS.

YEAH, GOOD EVENING.

I'LL WAIT FOR MY COME UP HERE, BUT, UM, WHILE SHE'S DOING THAT, UM, I JUST WANT TO SAY THAT THE FINAL PLACE IS HONORED TO HAVE BEEN SUCH A LONG TIME PARTNER WITH THE TOWN OF ADDISON AND SERVING YOUR, UH, RESIDENTS WITH SERVICES FOR VICTIMS OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE.

WE WORK CLOSELY WITH THE EDISON POLICE DEPARTMENT TO MAKE SURE THAT IF THERE IS AN ADDISON RETICENT WHO NEEDS HELP, THAT WE'RE ABLE TO PROVIDE IT TO THEM, TO EMPOWER VICTIMS OF FAMILY VIOLENCE, BY PROVIDING HOUSING, COUNSELING, AND SKILLS THAT CAN HELP THEM BE INDEPENDENT AS WELL, AS WELL AS TRYING TO FIGHT THIS EPIDEMIC OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE THROUGH SOCIAL CHANGE AND ADVOCACY.

THE CORONAVIRUS HAS BEEN A REALLY INTERESTING, UM, EXPERIENCE FOR MANY VICTIMS, INTERESTING, BEING HORRIBLE, ACTUALLY FOR VICTIMS OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE.

IF YOU CAN IMAGINE BEING TRAPPED IN YOUR HOME WITH YOUR ABUSER AND YOU ARE TRYING TO FLEE, OR YOU'RE TRYING TO MAKE SERVICES ARRANGEMENTS TO HAVE COUNSELING.

SO WE'VE HAD TO ADAPT MANY OF THE PROGRAMS THAT WE SERVE AT US AND RESIDENTS WITH SINCE, UM, MID-MARCH TO BE ABLE TO ACCOMMODATE THEM.

AND ONE OF THE, UM, MOST IMPORTANT PROGRAMS WE DO IN PREVENTING DOMESTIC VIOLENCE IS OUR TEEN DATING VIOLENCE PREVENTION PROGRAM THAT WE PROVIDE TO STUDENTS IN RL TURNER CREEK VIEW RANCH, YOU IN NEWMAN SMITH.

OBVIOUSLY WE HAD TO ADAPT THOSE CLASSROOM PRESENTATIONS TO BE ONLINE PRESENTATIONS, AND WE'VE ACTUALLY BEEN ABLE TO ENGAGE PARENTS AND STUDENTS WITH EDUCATION, AS WELL AS REACHING INTO THE HOME AND HELPING WHEN THE CLASSROOM IS ONLINE, THAT WE'RE ACTUALLY PROVIDING EDUCATION AND TRAINING SERVICES FOR THOSE KIDS.

UM, OUR CLASSROOM EDUCATION AND OUR HEALTHY RELATIONSHIP PROGRAMS HAVE BEEN WELL RECEIVED.

WE'VE ALSO ACTUALLY PROVIDED A RESOURCE GUIDE FOR PARENTS BECAUSE IT'S REALLY DIFFICULT TO HAVE YOUR KIDS AT HOME AND HELP THEM HAVE INTERACTIVE ACTIVITIES, WAYS THEY CAN DISCUSS, UM, CYBER BULLYING AND THE OTHER THINGS THAT KIDS MIGHT BE EXPERIENCING.

SO IT'S CHALLENGED US AS AN ORGANIZATION TO BE ABLE TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO PROVIDE THESE SERVICES.

UM, AND WE SERVE, UH, 70 SPECIFIC STUDENTS FROM ADDISON AND THOSE FOUR HIGH SCHOOLS, UM, IN 2019.

NEXT NEXT SLIDE PLEASE.

SO THE DOMESTIC ONS PROGRAMMING AT THE FAMILY PLACE, ALL SERVICES ARE FREE.

AND SO WE HAVE, AND I REALLY THINK IT'S RELEVANT TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT HOW WE PROVIDE, UH, WITH THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC BECAUSE, UH, FACE TO FACE COUNSELING BECAME CHALLENGING AND TRANSPORTATION FOR PEOPLE BECAME CHALLENGING.

AND SO WE DEVELOPED A TELE-HEALTH, UH, PROCESS TO MAKE IT ACCESS AVAILABLE.

SOMETIMES IT'S BEEN REALLY HARD FOR A VICTIM TO, AS I MENTIONED, HAVE THAT COUNSELING SERVICE AND THEN KNOW THAT THERE ARE ABUSERS IN THE HOME, BUT OUR SURVIVORS ARE VERY CREATIVE.

WE'VE HAD THEM CALL US FROM PARKING LOTS.

THEY'VE BEEN AT WALMART, THEY'VE BEEN AT DIFFERENT STORES TELLING THEIR ABUSER.

THEY WERE STANDING IN LINE TO GET WATER OR STANDING LINE TO GET TOILET PAPER AND ACTUALLY STILL RECEIVING SERVICES.

SO WE DO GROUP AND INDIVIDUAL COUNSELING ON TELE-HEALTH.

AND SO WE'VE USED TECHNOLOGY.

WE HAD TO SEND OUR STAFF HOME AND MAKE IT POSSIBLE THAT THEY COULD STILL PROVIDE THOSE SERVICES.

SECONDLY, WITH OUR EMERGENCY SHELTER, WE HAVE, UM, THREE EMERGENCY SHELTERS AND THE, UM, WE HAVE BEEN, HAD TO REDUCE OUR POPULATION FOR SOCIAL DISTANCING BECAUSE OFTEN FAMILIES WOULD SHARE, UM, EMERGENCY SHELTER SPACE.

UH, BUT WE STILL OPERATED.

ABSOLUTELY.

WE WERE TAKING, UH, CLIENTS STRAIGHT FROM THEIR HOMES INTO OUR SHELTERS, EVEN DURING THE PANDEMIC.

AND WHAT WOULD BE INTERESTING AT THE VERY BEGINNING OF THE PANDEMIC WHEN PEOPLE KNEW THEY WERE GOING TO BE LOCKED IN, WE SAW THIS SPIKE IN CALLS THAT WAS NATIONWIDE ACROSS THE BOARD.

PEOPLE CALLING BEFORE THEY GOT LOCKED IN.

THEN THERE WAS THIS EERIE SILENCE THAT HAPPENED IN APRIL WHERE PEOPLE REALLY DID SEEM TO JUST KIND OF HAVE

[00:35:01]

TO FLY UNDER THE RADAR.

AND ONLY THE MOST SEVERE, SEVERE SITUATIONS DID PEOPLE ACCESS OUR SERVICES AND NOW WE'RE SEEING IT UP TICK AGAIN.

SO, UM, AS THINGS LOOSEN UP, BUT IT'S REALLY BEEN IMPORTANT FOR US TO BE ABLE TO SAY, YES, WE CAN HELP YOU.

AND SOME PEOPLE WHO HAVE HAD SYMPTOMS, WE HAVE PUT IN HOTELS RATHER THAN BRINGING THEM INTO OUR SHELTER.

EVERY CLIENT THAT CAME IN WAS TESTED FOR THEIR TEMPERATURE.

WE HAVE A NURSE ON STAFF WHO WOULD DO TELEMEDICINE WITH A FAMILY THAT WAS SYMPTOMATIC AND AMAZING.

LIKE THROUGH THIS WHOLE THREE MONTHS, WE ONLY HAD ONE FAMILY THAT TESTED POSITIVE THAT WE WERE ABLE TO ACCESS MULTIPLE TESTING SITES AROUND THE COMMUNITY TO BE ABLE TO CHECK ON OUR FAMILIES AND MAKE SURE THEY WEREN'T GOING TO ENDANGER THEMSELVES OR OUR STAFF AS WELL, FED ALL THE PPE THAT WE NEEDED.

UM, FORTUNATELY WE'VE BEEN IN REALLY PRETTY GOOD SHAPE THERE.

WE ONLY SERVE THREE ADDISON RESIDENTS IN 2019, WHICH IS GOOD FOR YOU GUYS, UM, THAT MAYBE THE PEOPLE THAT LIVE IN US AND AREN'T EXPERIENCING THE VOLUME, BUT I'LL BE INTERESTED TO SEE WHAT HAPPENS FOR THIS YEAR OF 2020.

WE ALSO HAVE A BETTER INTERVENTION PROGRAM WHERE WE'VE WORKED WITH THE OFFENDER WHO HAS COMMITTED THIS FAMILY VIOLENCE OFFENSE AND NEEDS TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE AND HAS TO RECEIVE AS PART OF THEIR PROBATION, 24 TO 36 WEEKS OF COUNSELING, DEPENDING ON IF IT WAS A MISDEMEANOR OR A FELONY THAT THEY, UH, COMMITTED.

THAT IS THE ONLY PERSON WHO PAYS FOR A FEE.

AND WE WORK CLOSELY WITH THE, UH, CITY COURT JUDGES, UM, AS WELL AS THE CRIMINAL COURT JUDGES OF DALLAS COUNTY TO WHEN THEY ARE ASSIGNED TO PROBATION, THAT THEY CAN COME TO THE FAMILY PLACE TO RECEIVE THOSE SERVICES.

AND WE TRY TO TEACH THESE BETTERS HOW TO IDENTIFY AND CHALLENGING THEIR CORE BELIEFS WHILE AT THE SAME TIME, HAVING CONTACT WITH THEIR, UH, THE PERSON WHO MOVED, THEY HAVE VICTIMIZED TO MAKE SURE THAT THAT PERSON IS SAFE IN THE HOME.

UH, SO, AND WE HAD FIVE, UM, BATTERERS THAT WERE ADDISON RESIDENTS IN 2019.

SO IN TOTAL WE SERVE, UH, 91 PEOPLE FROM THE ADDISON, UM, TOWN OF ADDISON.

AND WE SERVE SOME, OUR COUNSELING CLIENTS CAN BE WITH US FOR AN ENTIRE MONTH AND THEY COME, UH, FOUR TIMES A MONTH.

SO WE DO A DEPTH OF SERVICES, INDIVIDUAL AND GROUP, AS WELL AS CASE MANAGEMENT AND ACCESS.

AND WE MAKE REFERRALS TO LOCAL ORGANIZATIONS.

WE WORK A LOT WITH METROCREST SERVICES, UH, TO BE ABLE TO ACCESS THEIR RENTAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM.

SO I APPRECIATE THE FACT THAT YOU ALL ARE WILLING TO TRY TO, UM, TO SUPPORT THE FAMILY PLACE AND SUPPORT THE VICTIMS OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE IN YOUR COMMUNITY.

BECAUSE WHEN SOMEONE CALLS AND SAYS, I NEED HELP, WE NEED TO BE ABLE TO PROVIDE THAT HELP.

SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION.

WE'VE ASKED FOR $10,000 THIS YEAR, UH, THE FINANCIAL CHALLENGES ARE LARGE AND OUR COMMUNITY, AND WE WOULD APPRECIATE YOUR CONSIDERATION OF THAT AMOUNT.

THANK YOU PAGE.

WE HAVE PETER MANN WITH THE WATER TOWER THEATER NEXT.

WELL, THANK YOU EVERYBODY.

UH, LET ME PREFACE BY SAYING MY TWO YEAR OLD DID NOT GET HIS NAP TODAY.

SO IF YOU HEAR SCREAMING, PLEASE DON'T BE ALARMED.

THE FUN OF WORKING FROM HOME.

EVERYONE CAN HEAR ME.

EXCELLENT.

THANK YOU, MR. MAYOR, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN OF THE COUNCIL, A CITY MANAGER IN FRANCE FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO VISIT WITH YOU TONIGHT FOR YOUR STEADFAST SUPPORT.

THROUGH THE YEARS, WE HAVE BEEN THROUGH MANY CHALLENGES TOGETHER AND SHARE A VERY SPECIAL RELATIONSHIP.

IT'S A KNOWN FACT THAT THE TOWN OF ADDISON IS THE MAIN REASON THIS THEATER COMPANY EXISTS AND HAS SERVED ITS COMMUNITY AS WAS ORIGINALLY INTENDED WHEN THE ADDISON THEATER CENTER WAS COMPLETED AT 1992.

IN JANUARY, SAW EARLY SUBSCRIPTION REVENUE RESULTS UP TO 300% HIGHER THAN THIS SEASONS AND A HUGE JUMP IN SINGLE TICKET SALES.

AND I'M A SLIDE BEHIND, BUT THAT'S OKAY.

THE STONE COTTAGE WAS BUILT AS PART OF THE WPA PROGRAM UNDER THE NEW DEAL IN 1939, EXHIBITING RESILIENCE FROM THE PEOPLE OF THIS AREA.

I FEEL THE TOWN OF ADDISON AND WATERTOWER THEATER ARE POISED TO SURVIVE THE CURRENT PANDEMIC CRISIS RECESSION AND TROUBLING TIMES TOGETHER IN LARGE PART DUE TO THE SPECIAL RELATIONSHIP WE HAVE, MY MISSION IS TO MAKE SURE THAT WE TELL DIVERSE STORIES RELEVANT TO THE MANY ISSUES THROUGH THE DECADES AND ENTERTAINING THOUGHT PROVOKING WAY AND GIVE BACK TO THIS COMMUNITY AND ITS LEADERS UPON MY ARRIVAL, MY TEAM AND I WITH THE HELP OF OUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS WERE ABLE TO TURN A SIX FIGURE DEFICIT INTO A HEALTHY SURPLUS IN JUST THREE QUARTERS TIME.

OUR PROGRAMMING REVENUES AND FUNDRAISING GREW THROUGH A SOLID BUSINESS PLAN, CONSERVATIVE FISCAL BUDGETING AND DIVERSE POPULOUS PROGRAM.

HAVING BEEN NOMINATED FOR 41 COLUMN AWARDS FOR LAST SEASON, RECEIVING THE NATIONAL ENDOWMENT FOR THE ARTS GRANT FOR THE FIRST TIME IN OUR ORGANIZATIONAL'S HISTORY AND A, A FURTHER NATIONAL RECOGNITION AND ACCOLADE FOR OUR ART PATRONS REALLY CAME BACK TO US IN RECORD NUMBERS.

WE WERE ABLE TO REORGANIZE OUR INTERNAL STRUCTURE OF STAFF AND HAVE A TRUE WORKING BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND FILLED OUR THEATER TO 85% OF ITS CAPACITY WITH RECORD SALES DURING THE FIRST THREE SHOWS OF THE 1920 SEASON, WHICH CAME IN AT 7% HIGHER IN SALES THAN THE PREVIOUS SEASON NEXT SEASON, WHICH WAS ANNOUNCED

[00:40:01]

I'M CERTAIN, THESE NUMBERS ARE ALSO REFLECTED REGARDING THE ECONOMIC IMPACT THAT THEATER HAS IN THE TOWN AND ITS MANY OTHER BUSINESSES CHANGE SLIDE, PLEASE.

UH, THERE WE GO.

WATER TOWER THEATER BEGAN TO PLAN FOR COVID-19 PANDEMIC AND LATE FEBRUARY, GOVERNOR ABBOTT ABBOTT RATHER RELEASED A MINIMUM HEALTH STANDARD PROTOCOLS AS A GUIDELINE FOR REOPENING FINE ARTS PERFORMANCE HALLS.

RECENTLY WE ARE PLANNING TO MOVE FROM A THEATER THAT BUILDS COMMUNITY TO COMMUNITY THAT BUILDS THEATER BY OFFERING THE REMAINING TWO SHOWS OF THIS SEASON AS VIDEO ON DEMAND CONTENT FOR OUR PATRONS AND POSSIBLY THE CITIZENS OF ADDISON CHANGE SLIDE, PLEASE, THE 2021 SEASON HAS BEEN ALTERED BY WORKSHOPPING THREE NEW MUSICAL WORKS WITH THE FINAL READING OF EACH BEING FILMED AND OFFERED AS CONTENT FOR OUR PATRONS.

WITH THE OPTION OF GIVING FEEDBACK, OUR ONE PERSON SHOW AMP AS BEING FILMED AND OFFERED HIM THE SAME WAY FOR OUR PATRONS IN OCTOBER, ALL DONE ON THE TERRY MARTIN MAIN STAGE WITH SOCIAL DISTANCING AND OTHER SAFETY MEASURES IN PLACE.

FOLLOWING THESE FOUR OFFERINGS, WE PLAN TO PRESENT OUR FIRST FULLY STAGED PRODUCTION IN EARLY 2021 WITH TWO OTHER PRODUCTIONS TO FOLLOW THROUGH SEPTEMBER OF 21.

AND WE ARE SEEKING THE MEDIA RIGHTS FOR ALL THE PRODUCTIONS FOR PATRONS WHO WISH TO REMAIN IN VIEW AT HOME.

THE ADDISON THEATER CENTER OFFERS THE FLEXIBILITY, FLEXIBILITY RATHER NEEDED AND SEEDING AND STAGING THAT MAKES THIS POSSIBLE IN LINE WITH OUR STATE'S GUIDELINES AND OUR OWN SAFETY MEASURES.

OUR BUDGETS HAVE BEEN ALTERED TO REFLECT LOWER INVENTORY AND SALES.

WE ARE FULLY COMMITTED TO OUR EDUCATION PROGRAM AND PLAN TO RESUME CLASSES AND ACADEMY IN THE SPRING SUMMER OF 21 CHANGE SLIDE, PLEASE HAVING SURVIVED THE RECESSION OF 2008 AND THE PREVIOUS YEARS BEFORE MY ARRIVAL, A COUPLE OF THEM WATER TOWER THEATER HAS INTERNAL DATA THAT ALSO HELPS US NAVIGATE THIS UNCERTAINTY OF NOPE.

WE WERE GIVEN A PPP LOAN FROM THE SBA THAT HAS HELPED THE COMPANY SIGNIFICANTLY.

MOST OF THE LOAN WE ARE CERTAIN WILL FALL UNDER THE FORGIVABLE PORTION OF THE PROGRAM WITH YOUR HELP.

WE ARE SIMPLY PUT ABLE TO SURVIVE.

HOWEVER, WE ALSO RECOGNIZE THE IMPACT THIS PANDEMIC AND RECESSION HAS MADE ON LOCAL CITY BUDGETS AND ARE ASKING FOR A LESSER AMOUNT THIS YEAR, OUR UPCOMING CONCERT LATER THIS SUMMER IS THE PERFECT OPPORTUNITY TO HIGHLIGHT THE SPECIAL RELATIONSHIP WE HAVE AND THE RESILIENCE OF THIS COMMUNITY FAME TEACHER AND ACTOR, STELLA ADLER REMINDS US THAT THE WORLD OR RATHER THE WORD THEATER MEANS THE SCENE PLACE.

IT IS THE PLACE PEOPLE COME TO SEE THE TRUTH ABOUT LIFE AND SOCIAL SITUATION.

THEATER IS ESSENTIAL CHANGE SLIDE, PLEASE.

I AM QUITE CERTAIN THAT WHEN ARTISTS TELL THE STORY OF THIS TIME, IT WILL HAVE A LASTING IMPACT AND FURTHER DEFINED RESILIENCY FOR WITHOUT THE HARD WORK OF THE MANY PEOPLE BEFORE ME AND, AND YOUR SUPPORT.

WE MAY NOT HAVE EVER HAD OUR BELOVED THEATER ADDISON'S THEATER.

IT'S SEEING PLACE WHOSE ORIGINS COME FROM THE RESILIENCY OF THE PEOPLE OF THIS PLACE FROM GENERATIONS AGO, WHO FACED SIMILAR HARDSHIPS.

I PLEDGE TO YOU TO CONTINUE OUR HARD WORK AND STAND READY TO SERVE YOU AS ALWAYS.

NEXT, WE HAVE LISA RIGBY WITH THE WOVEN HEALTH CLINIC.

HELLO? CAN EVERYBODY HEAR ME? YES, MA'AM.

GREAT.

WELL THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME.

I'M THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF WOVEN HEALTH CLINIC.

SO, YOU KNOW, I THINK, YOU KNOW MOST ABOUT OUR CLINIC.

WE'RE A COMMUNITY BASED CLINIC AND OUR MISSION IS QUALITY HEALTH CARE.

BUT WHAT MAKES US UNIQUE IS WE'RE NOT JUST TREATING SICK PEOPLE.

WE PUT A VERY STRONG FOCUS ON PREVENTING DISEASE WITH OUR PATIENTS AND YOU KNOW, OUR SWEET SPOT IS UNINSURED OR UNDER INSURED PEOPLE.

AND I HATE TO SAY, BUT IT'S GROWING INTO THE MIDDLE CLASS ALSO.

UM, AND WE ARE SEEING OUR DEMAND.

COBIN HAS COMPLETELY FLIPPED EVERYTHING FOR OUR CLINIC.

SO I WANTED TO GIVE YOU A SNAPSHOT OF SOME OF THE WAYS IT'S AFFECTED THE CLINIC AND OUR OPERATIONS.

SOME OF THE CHALLENGES WITH THAT.

SO WHEN COVID HEAD, WE HAD TO LOOK AND SAY, WHAT ARE OUR FOUR KEY PRIORITIES? OBVIOUSLY ONE IS EMPLOYEE SAFETY.

IF MY PHYSICIAN AND MEDICAL ASSISTANTS AND NURSE, IF THEY'RE SICK WITH COVID, WE CAN'T SERVE OUR PATIENTS.

SO WE, YOU KNOW, WITH THAT, IT'S ALL ABOUT HAVING THE PROTOCOLS AND THE PPE.

THE SECOND IS WE WANTED TO PROVIDE CARE FOR OUR PATIENTS.

WE COULD NOT STOP.

SO WE DID SHIFT A LOT TO TELEMEDICINE AND I'LL TALK TO YOU ABOUT

[00:45:01]

THE THIRD IS SUPPORTING OUR COMMUNITIES.

WE ROLLED OUT A FIRST RESPONDER PROGRAM AND ESSENTIAL WORKERS SPECIFICALLY FOR OUR CITIES AND OUR CITY EMPLOYEES.

AND THAT WAS THROUGH THE HELP OF METRO CREST, A HOSPITAL AUTHORITY.

AND THE FINAL IS I STARTED LOOKING IMMEDIATELY AT OUR BALANCE SHEET.

SO YOU ALL KNOW THAT WE ARE NOT A COMPLETELY FREE CLINIC.

OUR PATIENTS PROVIDE ABOUT 20% OF THE COST OF THEIR VISIT, WHICH FOR MOST IT'S AROUND $25.

WE'VE SEEN A HUGE SPIKE, AN UNEMPLOYED OR PATIENTS HAVE LOST THEIR JOBS.

A LOT OF THEM WORKED IN RESTAURANTS AND WE KNOW HOW THEY WERE DEVASTATED.

SO WE HAVE BEEN WAIVING THOSE FEES AND GOING AFTER GRANTS SO THAT WE CAN TRY TO REPLACE THAT, TO KEEP OUR BALANCE SHEET HOLD FOR THE YEAR.

OKAY, NEXT SLIDE.

THIS IS A SNAPSHOT OF THE TIMELINE.

SO IN FEBRUARY CDC SAID, UH, THAT COVID WAS INEVITABLE IMMEDIATELY.

WE STARTED TRYING TO ORDER MORE PPE AND THERE WAS NONE AVAILABLE AND IT WAS NOT AVAILABLE REALLY UNTIL MID MAY.

SO MY STAFF AND MYSELF, WE GOT IN OUR CARS AND WE LITERALLY WENT TO SIX TO SEVEN HOME DEPOTS AND WE BOUGHT OUR PPE.

AND THAT IS WHAT HAS TAKEN US THROUGH UP UNTIL MAY.

WHEN WE COULD START TO GET EQUIPMENT BACK FROM OUR TRADITIONAL MEDICAL SUPPLIERS, WE WROTE OUR PROTOCOLS.

UM, WE STARTED TESTING IN MARCH.

WE HAD OUR FIRST POSITIVE PATIENT AT THE END OF MARCH AND WE HAD, WE CLOSED OUR CLINIC.

WE HAD IT SANITIZED AND WE IMMEDIATELY SWITCHED IN 24 HOURS TO TELEMEDICINE.

AND THEN IN APRIL WE DECIDED WE NEEDED TO LAUNCH OUR FIRST RESPONDER PROGRAM BECAUSE WHAT WE SAW AS THEY HAVE A LOT OF THESE DRIVE-THROUGHS, WE ARE NOT A HIGH VOLUME DRIVE THREE.

WE WANT TO OFFER A VERY PERSONAL PRIVATE EXPERIENCE AND PRIORITIZE THE FIRST RESPONDERS AND CITY WORKERS IN OUR CITY SO THAT THEY CAN GET IN WITHIN 24 HOURS OR WHATEVER'S NEEDED AND THEN GET THEIR RESULTS.

UM, TELEMEDICINE HAS BEEN REALLY DIFFICULT FOR OUR PATIENTS.

MANY OF THEM DO NOT HAVE COMPUTERS.

THEY DO NOT HAVE GOOD INTERNET CONNECTIONS.

UM, THEIR JOBS DO NOT ALLOW THEM TO WORK FROM HOME.

AND SO, UM, YOU KNOW, WE'VE, WE'VE SAW LIKE AN APRIL, OUR VISITS DROPPED ABOUT 35% AND IN MAY, THEY WERE DOWN 30.

UM, AND SO I THINK WE'RE STARTING SEE THEM COME BACK AT FIRST.

I THOUGHT THAT WAS TERRIBLE TILL I SAW THE NATIONAL STATISTICS.

SO NATIONALLY PEDIATRICIAN VISITS DROPS 71% AND VISITS TO INTERNAL MEDICINE FOR ADULTS DROPPED 50 TO 60%.

SO THEN I DIDN'T FEEL SO BAD.

I'M LIKE, OKAY, WELL WE'RE AT LEAST NOT THAT LOW.

UM, SO IN MAY, WE DID START FINALLY BEING ABLE TO GET MORE PPE.

WE HAD CHURCHES AND ORGANIZATIONS DROPPING OFF HANDMADE, BEAUTIFUL MASK AT OUR CLINIC.

AND IF YOU GO TO OUR FACEBOOK SITE, YOU CAN SEE SOME OF THOSE PICTURES.

UM, WE ALSO HAVE ORDERED A NEW COVID TEST THAT WE WILL BE GETTING IN ABOUT FOUR TO SIX WEEKS, WHICH WILL GIVE US THE ABILITY WE DO THE GOLD STANDARD.

THE TEST WE DO IS THE AARON GEL MOLECULAR TEST.

AND SO WHEN IT GOES TO LAB COURT, AND SO WHAT WE'LL BE DOING IS GETTING THIS TEST THAT IT'S, IT IS ACTUALLY ONE OF THE BEST RATED WEEK FOR RELIABILITY.

WE CAN NOW DO THE SAME TEST ON SITE AND GET RESULTS WITHIN 45 MINUTES.

AND SO WE ARE VERY EXCITED ABOUT THAT.

AND IN JUNE AND JULY, WE ARE GOING TO START BACK NOW THAT WE HAVE PPE TO ONSITE VISITS OUR SPECIALTY CLINICS.

HOWEVER, ALL OF OUR COOKING CLASSES, EXERCISE CLASSES, UM, ANYTHING THAT WE WERE DOING ONSITE IN THE CLINIC, AS FAR AS CLASSES AND GROUP EVENTS, WE ARE GOING TO CONVERT TO VIRTUAL FOR THE REST OF THE YEAR.

OUR PHONES BLEW UP SIMILAR TO SOME OF THE OTHER, UM, ORGANIZATIONS, BUT THEN TELL THEM IT TAKES LONGER.

I MENTIONED THIS.

SO ADDISON HAS BEEN PARTICIPATING IN THIS.

WE HAVE HAD APPROXIMATELY 10 PEOPLE FROM ADDISON THAT HAVE PARTICIPATED IN THE FIRST RESPONDER ESSENTIAL WORKER PROGRAM.

AND AGAIN, YOU KNOW, OVERALL WE'VE HAD APPROXIMATELY 50, UH, 50 PATIENTS COME THROUGH THIS PROGRAM SPECIFICALLY.

AND, UM, YOU KNOW, WE'RE GOING TO CONTINUE THIS.

WE'RE GOING TO TRY TO CONTINUE THIS FOR THE END OF THE YEAR.

WE WANT TO HELP YOU.

YOU ALWAYS HELP US.

AND THIS IS OUR WAY OF MAKING SURE WE CAN HELP YOU BACK.

UM, THEY CAN CALL THAT LINE IS AVAILABLE 24 HOURS, IT'S MONITORED.

UM, THEY CAN EMAIL, BUT THE BOTTOM LINE IS AVAILABLE 24 HOURS.

SO THEY CAN EMAIL.

YOU ALSO HAVE SOME CITY EMPLOYEES THAT HAVE CONNECTIONS FOR THIS, AND THIS IS FREE.

THIS IS WHAT METRO CROSS HOSPITAL AUTHORITY HELPED US FIND NEXT LIGHT.

AND THIS IS JUST THE NUMBER THAT WE'RE PROJECTING.

IT'S ABOUT THE SAME AS LAST YEAR.

HONESTLY, IT'S HARD TO NET WITH APRIL AND MAY.

IF WE WILL HIT THIS, I THINK WE'LL BE CLOSE.

UM, YOU KNOW, WE MIGHT END UP OVERALL DOWN 10%.

[00:50:01]

IT JUST, IT TAKES LONGER TO DO A TELMATE VISIT.

MY STAFF HAS HAD TO COME IT PLUS MEDICAL.

AND SO, BUT I THINK NET NET, WE'RE GOING TO BE CLOSE TO ONE 80.

UM, THE VALUE OF EACH RESIDENT, IT'S A THOUSAND DOLLARS.

THAT'S ABOUT 500 AND SERVICES AND ABOUT ANOTHER 500 AND PHARMACEUTICALS.

SO YOU REALLY GET A GREAT RETURN FOR YOUR MONEY.

AND I WOULD SAY THAT RIGHT NOW, UH, COMMUNITY HEALTH FOR, FOR PEOPLE THAT ARE UNINSURED, UH, IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN EVER.

SO I ASKED FOR YOU TO CONTINUE.

WE TRY TO KEEP OUR FUNDING REQUESTS LOW BECAUSE I KNOW THE PRESSURE ON CITIES.

UM, BUT YOU KNOW, I HOPE THAT YOU'LL CONTINUE TO SUPPORT US NEXT SLIDE.

THIS IS JUST A, YOU KNOW, OUR SWEET SPOT.

IT, MOST CLINICS ARE THOSE THINGS YOU SEE IN BLUE ON THE LEFT IMMUNIZATIONS SCREENINGS MEDICATIONS.

WE DO THAT.

IN ADDITION, WE DO THOSE THINGS ON THE RIGHT.

WE HAVE A REGISTERED DIETICIAN, WE HAVE A BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SPECIALIST.

AND SO WE TREAT THE WHOLE PERSON.

AND THE OTHER THING I WANT TO POINT OUT FOR 2019 OUTCOMES, WE CONSISTENTLY RATE IN THE TOP FIVE TO 10% NATIONALLY, NOT WITH CHARITY CLINICS, NOT WITH COMMUNITY CLINICS, WITH ALL CLINICS, OUR OUTCOMES FROM THE TOP FIVE TO 10% NATIONALLY.

UM, THESE ARE JUST SOME OF THE EVENTS WE DID WALK WITH A DOC IN VITRUVIAN PARK AND AUGUST PARTICIPATED IN THE ANNUAL.

I THINK IT WAS THE JANUARY MEMBERSHIP APPRECIATION, WELLNESS FAIR AT THE ADDISON ATHLETIC CLUB.

WE DID HOLD OVER THREE HEALTHY COOKING CLASSES THAT WERE ATTENDED BY OVER 75 PEOPLE.

NEXT SLIDE, WE LAUNCHED THAT THE EMERGENCY TESTING PROGRAM.

I MENTIONED WE HAD OUR FUNDRAISER.

WE WERE VERY EXCITED TO RECOGNIZE THE ADDISON ATHLETIC CLUB FOR THEIR COMMUNITY IMPACT.

WHAT I REALIZED WITH MY CLINIC IS IT'S ALL OF US, IT'S THESE OTHER ORGANIZATIONS THAT ARE ON HERE THAT YOU SUPPORT, IT'S THE CITY ITSELF.

AND WE ALL COME TOGETHER TO REALLY HELP CREATE THESE HEALTHY LIVES.

SO I TRULY DO APPRECIATE THAT NEXT SLIDE.

THE LAST SLIDE, I JUST WANT YOU TO KNOW COVID IS NOT OVER.

SOMEONE SAID THAT ON ONE OF MY CALLS THE OTHER NIGHT, I SAID, NO, IT MAY BE OFF THE NEWS, BUT YOU HAVE TO LOOK AT THE STATISTICS.

DALLAS COUNTY HAD SOME OF DAILY, THE HIGHEST REPORTED CASES THAT THEY'VE HAD.

WE ARE SEEING AN UPTICK.

THE LAST, I WOULD SAY FIVE DAYS, WE HAVE HAD MORE CALLS FOR TESTING.

UM, WE'RE SEEING RISING COSTS ACROSS THE BOARD, WHETHER IT'S PPE PHARMACEUTICALS, THE LAB WORK, THE VACCINES, THE INSURANCE, ALL OF IT.

MY BIGGEST CONCERN IS THE NUMBER OF UNEMPLOYED PEOPLE.

SO IT'S GOOD THAT IT LOOKS LIKE IT'S GOING BACK UP, BUT I REALLY WONDER HOW LONG IT'S GOING TO TAKE TO GET BACK TO WHERE IT WAS.

AND SO I FEEL LIKE WE'RE GOING TO HAVE MORE DEMAND FOR SERVICES IN 2021.

AND THE LAST BULLET IS SUPER IMPORTANT COVID-19 AND THE FINANCIAL STRESS, OR SERIOUSLY INCREASING THE DEMAND FOR MENTAL HEALTH SERVICE.

SO, UM, I JUST, THAT THAT IS SOMETHING THAT WE REALLY ARE SEEING.

UM, WE ARE, WE OFFER SOME SERVICES AND THEN YOU HAVE THAT STEVEN COHEN, YOU KNOW, CLINIC, WHICH DOES SUCH WONDERFUL WORK.

SO, AND THEN LIKE FAMILY PLACE, THERE'S JUST SO GROUPS THAT HELP PROVIDE SOME OF THIS, BUT WE ARE SEEING A, A VERY SIGNIFICANT UPTICK IN DEPRESSION, ANXIETY RELATED TO COVID-19.

AND FINALLY, LAST ONE, I JUST WANT TO THANK YOU AND LET YOU KNOW HOW MUCH I SUPPORT.

I REALLY APPRECIATE YOUR PARTNERSHIP, THE PARTNERSHIP OF ALL THESE OTHER WONDERFUL AGENCIES AND, UH, YOU KNOW, JUST PLEASE LET ME KNOW HOW WE CAN CONTINUE TO HELP YOU IF WE'RE NEW THINGS, OTHER WAYS THAT WE CAN HELP SERVE YOU ALL.

AND THANK YOU FOR WHAT YOU'RE DOING.

WE'LL TRY IT ONE MORE TIME FOR LISA SESSLER WITH THE DALLAS CAT LADY, ACTUALLY IT'S MICHELLE LEE IS HAVING SOME TECHNICAL TROUBLES, SO I'M GOING TO JUMP IN FOR HER THAT'S OKAY.

THAT'S GREAT.

FACILITIES, WHICH RIGHT NOW WE'RE ALL BY APPOINTMENT.

GO AHEAD.

UM, ALL RIGHT, WELL, THANK YOU SO MUCH.

AND I APOLOGIZE FOR THE DELAY IN GETTING ONTO YOU.

UM, YOU KNOW, FIRST OF ALL, WE THANK YOU FOR THE SUPPORT THAT YOU GAVE US.

UM, AND THE GRANT THAT WE RECEIVED, UM, IT'S GREATLY HELPED US.

UM, YOU KNOW, DALLAS CAT LADY IS AN ALL VOLUNTEER ORGANIZATION.

WE ARE VERY MUCH FOCUSED ON TRYING TO REDUCE THE OVERPOPULATION OF CATS AND KITTENS, UM, THROUGH TRAP NEUTER RELEASE THROUGH OUR SPAY NEUTER PROGRAMS AND OUR ADOPTION PROGRAM.

UM, WE ARE A FOSTER ORGANIZATION.

WE DO NOT HAVE A FACILITY.

UM, ALL OF OUR ANIMALS ARE, UM, FOSTERED IN VOLUNTEER HOMES.

UH, AND WE THEN DO OUTREACH EITHER THROUGH THE TNR OR THROUGH OUR ADOPTION

[00:55:01]

SO IT SLOWED THINGS DOWN A LITTLE BIT.

UM, WE, UH, A HUGE PART OF WHAT DALLAS CAT LADY DOES FOCUSES ON TRAP NEUTER LAKE RELEASED.

WE REALLY FEEL THAT, UM, TRYING TO JUST DO RESCUE AND DO ADOPTIONS IS, IS AN IMPORTANT PART, FINDING CAT TONGUES, BUT REDUCING THE OVERPOPULATION OF CATS AND KITTENS IS, IS SUCH A HUGE FOCUS FOR US.

UM, OUR VOLUNTEERS ARE OUR HEAD DOWN RIGHT NOW, TRYING TO DO AS MUCH TANAR AS WE CAN TO STOP THE MADNESS.

NEXT SLIDE RIGHT NOW, UH, IT IS CRAZY KITTEN SEASON.

UM, IT'S A, IT'S AN EVEN MORE CHALLENGING YEAR BEAT WITH COVID BECAUSE A LOT OF THE NORMAL RESCUES THAT WOULD BE OUT DOING TNR ARE NOT, UM, THEY HAVE COMPROMISED IMMUNE SYSTEMS. THEY'RE NOT ABLE TO GO TO A LOT OF THE FACILITIES THAT DO TNR.

SO DALLAS CAT LADY IS STEPPING IN MORE THAN IT EVER HAS.

OUR INBOX, OUR PHONES, OUR EMAILS, EVERYTHING ARE JUST FULL OF PEOPLE WITH CATS AND KITTENS NEEDING HELP.

UM, WE, WE LOOK FORWARD TO GETTING KITTEN SEASON BEHIND US A LITTLE BIT, UH, BUT, UM, THE, THE EFFORTS ARE, ARE VERY MUCH HEAD DOWN AND FOCUSED.

UM, AS YOU CAN IMAGINE, GETTING KITTENS FROM THOSE LITTLE BITTY ONES, ACTUALLY TO THE POINT THEY ARE SPAYED AND NEUTERED AND HAVE ALL THE VETTING THAT WE PROVIDE IS QUITE A DAUNTING EXERCISE.

WE RELY ON OUR VOLUNTEERS TO GET THEM IN FROM, FROM WHAT YOU CAN SEE ON THE LEFT HAND SIDE, WHERE, YOU KNOW, THEY'RE ABANDONED EVERYWHERE, WHETHER IT'S IN A BOX ON A PATIO, UM, AND THEN WE GET THEM IN, WE GET THEM SPAYED AND NEUTERED SHOTS DO MORE D DEPLETE, ALL OF THOSE THINGS.

UM, AND THEN EVENTUALLY ADOPTED AND, AND SOMEBODY TALKING, SORRY, SOMEBODY IS TALKING ANYWAY, NEXT SLIDE.

I HOPE YOU CAN HEAR ME.

UM, TRAPPING REALLY IS WHAT MAKES ALL THE DIFFERENCE.

UM, IF YOU CAN SEE THE THREE KITTENS ON THE LEFT HAND SIDE, YOU KNOW, THEY WERE DUMPED IN A SHELTER.

WE TOOK THEM OUT, WE GOT THEM ALL RESCUED AND GOT THEM ALL IN LOVING HOMES.

MOST OF THEM START OUT, YOU KNOW, OUT ON THE STREET SOMEWHERE OR IN AN APARTMENT OR A BUSINESS PARKING LOT.

AND WE DO EVERYTHING WE CAN TO GET THEM IN, GET THEM SPAYED AND NEUTERED AND GET THEM INTO LOVING HOMES.

UM, ONCE AGAIN, WE'RE ASKING FOR, UM, $5,000 TO SUPPLEMENT OUR SPAIN IN PROGRAM.

WHAT THAT'LL DO IS IT'LL ALLOW US TO SPAN NEUTER ABOUT A HUNDRED CATS AND KITTENS.

UM, FOR PART OF THAT, IT'LL, IT'LL BE SPLIT UP BETWEEN CATS THAT WE CAN TNR OR CATS THAT WE CAN GET IN AND GET SPAYED AND NEUTERED, AND THEN GET ADOPTED OUT INTO HOMES.

NEXT SLIDE, DALLAS KELLY DOES A LOT OF OTHER THINGS TOO.

IN ADDITION TO OUR OWN TNR AND ADOPTION EVENTS, WE SPEND A LOT OF TIME EDUCATING THE COMMUNITY ON TNR AND TEACHING PEOPLE HOW TO DO THAT LOANING TRAPS.

WE ALSO SPEND QUITE A BIT OF TIME AND ENERGY HELPING SENIORS AND LOW INCOME HOUSEHOLDS KEEP THEIR PETS.

WE GET FRUIT AND LITTER DONATIONS.

WE PROVIDE VETTING ASSISTANCE, BUT THIS YEAR WITH KOBE, WE HAVE EVEN MORE PEOPLE WHO AREN'T THE NORMAL SENIORS OR LOW INCOME HOUSEHOLDS WHO ARE, WHO ARE NEEDING HELP.

AND WE ARE SPENDING TIME, YOU KNOW, TRYING TO HELP THEM KEEP THEIR ANIMALS.

WE ALSO PROVIDE MEDICAL CARE FOR FERAL CATS, UM, WHETHER THAT'S GETTING THEM, YOU KNOW, DENTAL CARE, EMERGENCY SERVICES, HUMAN EUTHANASIA, IF THERE'S, IF THEY'RE VERY SICK, UM, WE WANT TO MAKE SURE WE HELP ALL OF THEM.

UM, THE OTHER THING IS, IS THAT OUR INTAKE RIGHT NOW IS OVERWHELMING, UM, WITH SO MANY PEOPLE HAVING TO CHANGE THEIR LIVING ARRANGEMENTS AND MEANING TO REHOME THEIR ANIMALS.

OUR INTAKE IS SIGNIFICANTLY UP, UM, RESULTING IN ADDITIONAL EXPENSES.

THE GRANT FUNDS WILL HELP US OFFSET OR SPAY NEUTER COSTS SO WE CAN CONTINUE TO SUPPORT, UM, FAMILIES AND FERAL CATS, UM, IN THESE ADDED WAYS.

UM, THIS IS A CRAZY CHART AND SOMETIMES IT'S MIND BOGGLING FOR PEOPLE TO REALLY, REALLY THINK ABOUT, BUT IT SHOWS WHAT HAPPENS.

ONE UNSPAYED FEMALE CAN JUST LIGHT UP THE WHOLE UNIVERSE IN, IN JUST A COUPLE OF YEARS.

UM, YOU KNOW, ONE FEMALE CAT, YOU KNOW, HAS THEIR CATS AND KITTENS THAT THEN HAVE MORE.

AND IT JUST MULTIPLIES, YOU KNOW, OUR GOAL IS TO CONTINUE OUR EFFORTS IN THE TOWN OF ADDISON WITH OUR TEAM AND OUR EFFORTS TO HELP REDUCE THAT, THAT CAT AND KITTEN POPULATION.

NEXT SLIDE TN WERE COLONIES REALLY MAKE A DIFFERENCE IF WE CAN KEEP STAYING OUT THERE AND DOING TAN, OR IT HELPS TO REDUCE THE CAT POPULATION, COMMUNITY COMPLAINTS AND THE STAFFING AND FINANCIAL REQUIREMENTS NEEDED FOR CITIES TO MANAGE THOSE CHALLENGES.

UM, THAT'S REALLY IT.

AND WE JUST ALWAYS WANT TO END WITH A CUTE KITTY THAT

[01:00:01]

SAYS THANK YOU.

BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY, WE, WE JUST REALLY WANT TO THANK THE TOWN OF ADDISON FOR HELPING US, UM, THE EFFORTS GO A LONG WAY WITH HELPING US, YOU KNOW, BE ABLE TO DO MORE SPAY AND NEUTER.

NUMBER FOUR, PRESENT DISCUSS.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH, MICHELLE.

HEY, MICHELLE, THANKS FOR STEPPING IN AT THE LAST SECOND THAT'S OUTSTANDING PRESENTATION.

OH MY PLEASURE.

MAYOR AND COUNCIL, THAT CONCLUDES OUR PRESENTATIONS.

WE'RE AVAILABLE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU MAY HAVE.

[4. Present and Discuss the Proposed Issuance of 2020 General Obligation Bonds and 2020 Taxable Refunding Bonds.]

THEY PROPOSE ISSUANCE OF 2020 GENERAL OBLIGATION BONDS AND 2020 TAXABLE FUNDING BONDS.

GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL.

UH, MY NAME IS STEVEN GLICKMAN, CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER.

ONE SECOND WHILE I, MY SCREEN.

GREAT.

AND CAN EVERYONE SEE MY SCREEN? YES, YES, YUP.

YES WE CAN.

A NET PRESENT VALUE SAVINGS OF 6.5%, A TOTAL NET PRESENT VALUE SAVINGS OF $795,000, AND THEN TOTAL GROSS SAVINGS OF $938,000.

WELL, I AM HERE THIS EVENING TO PRESENT TO YOU THE PROPOSED 2020 GENERAL OBLIGATION BOND PROGRAM, AND THEN ALSO SOME REFUNDING OPPORTUNITIES THAT WE HAVE TO SAVE SOME INTEREST COSTS.

UH, OUR PROPOSED 2020 GENERAL OBLIGATION, UH, PROGRAM WOULD CONSIST OF A TOTAL ISSUANCE OF 15.1, THREE, $5 MILLION.

AND OF THAT ISSUANCE.

THE MAJORITY OF THAT COMES FROM PROPOSITION A, WHICH IS FOR THE DESIGN AND RECONSTRUCTION OF KELLER SPRINGS AND AIRPORT PARKWAY.

UH, ENGINEERING CONTRACTS HAVE ALREADY BEEN AWARDED FOR BOTH PROJECTS.

AND THEN THIS FUNDING WOULD PAY FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF KELLER SPRINGS, WHICH IS ANTICIPATED TO BEGIN IN A FISCAL YEAR 2021.

AND THEN THE, UM, UH, RECONSTRUCTION OF AIRPORT PARKWAY WOULD BE IN A SUBSEQUENT BOND ISSUANCE, UH, ANTICIPATED FOR AROUND 2023, UH, PROPOSITION C $365,000, WHICH IS FOR THE DESIGN OF IMPROVEMENTS TO BE ADDISON ATHLETIC CLUB, UH, PROPOSITION D 140,000 FOR THE BOILER REPLACEMENT AT THE ADDISON ATHLETIC CLUB AND HVAC AND ROOF DESIGN AT THE ADDISON ATHLETIC CLUB.

AND THEN THE BOILER REPLACEMENT IS COMPLETE.

COUNSELOR COUNCIL HAD APPROVED A REIMBURSEMENT RESOLUTION FOR THAT PROJECT BACK IN DECEMBER, AND THEN PROPOSITION E, WHICH IS $600,000 FOR TRAFFIC CONTROL SYSTEMS AND COUNCIL AWARDED THE CONTRACT FOR THAT PROJECT AT THE MAY 26TH MEETING.

SO LOOKING AT THE TAX RATE IMPACT OF THE 2020 GENERAL OBLIGATION BOND PROGRAM IN TOTAL, WHEN, WHEN THE VOTERS VOTED BACK IN NOVEMBER OF 2019, UH, THEY WERE TOLD THAT THE TOTAL BOND PROGRAM WOULD COST THEM 10.31 CENTS ON THE TAX RATE.

WHEN, WHEN WE LOOKED AT THE, UM, 2020 GENERAL OBLIGATION BONDS, UH, IN COMPARISON TO THAT TOTAL, UM, THIS WOULD BE ABOUT 2.4 OR 5 CENTS PER WHAT WAS DISSEMINATED IN THE BOND ELECTION.

AND WHAT WE'RE CURRENTLY PROJECTING IS THAT THIS WOULD COST JUST OVER 2 CENTS, 2.06 CENTS.

SO A FAIRLY SUBSTANTIAL SAVINGS OVER, OVER WHAT WAS ANTICIPATED ABOUT 16% IN TOTAL , UH, WE ALSO HAVE SOME REFUNDING OPPORTUNITY.

SO WE HAD OUR FINDING OUR FINANCIAL ADVISOR HILLTOP SECURITIES, UH, DO AN ANALYSIS OF OUR DEBT PORTFOLIO AND DETERMINE IF ANY REFUNDING OPPORTUNITIES WERE AVAILABLE.

SO WHAT THEY FOUND BASED ON THAT ANALYSIS WAS THAT OUR 2012 GENERAL OBLIGATION BONDS AND OUR 2013 B CERTIFICATES OF OBLIGATION BONDS ARE GREAT CANDIDATES TO BE REFUNDED.

UH, THE 2012 GENERAL OBLIGATION BONDS ARE NOT CALLABLE UNTIL 2022.

AND THE 2013 CERTIFICATES OF OBLIGATION ARE NOT CALLABLE UNTIL 2023.

SO ONE OF THE CHANGES THAT OCCURRED IN THE TAX CUTS AND JOB ACTS A CA TAX CUTS AND JOBS ACT OF 2017, WAS THAT IF THAT IS NOT CALLABLE, THEN WE HAVE TO REFUND THAT ON A TAXABLE BASIS RATHER THAN TAX EXEMPT.

SO SINCE THOSE TWO BOND ISSUANCES ARE NOT CURRENTLY CALLABLE, UH, THE REFUNDING OPPORTUNITY WOULD BE TAXABLE.

SO EVEN GIVEN THAT, THAT THIS REFUNDING WOULD BE TAXABLE, THERE IS STILL STILL SUBSTANTIAL SAVINGS TO BE HAD.

WE ANTICIPATE THAT THIS WOULD SAVE ABOUT 0.1, FIVE OF ONE PENNY ON THE TAX RATE IN TOTAL THAT THE ALL IN TRUE INTEREST COST IS 2.3, 9%

[01:05:01]

SO IN TOTAL, IT'S GOING TO SAVE BETWEEN ABOUT 70 AND $70,000 PER YEAR.

AND THAT'S ABOUT IT.

IF YOU THINK OF IT IN TERMS OF CAPACITY, SAY ABOUT 70 OR $75,000, THAT GETS YOU $1 MILLION IN PROJECTS.

SO A YEAR YOU'RE GOING TO SAVE THAT EVERY YEAR HERE.

SO, UH, PRETTY, PRETTY SUBSTANTIAL SAVINGS, UH, ANALYSIS AND ASSUMPTIONS.

SO ONE OF THE THINGS THAT, UH, WE HAD INSTRUCTED OUR FINANCIAL ADVISOR TO, UM, TAKE INTO, UM, THEIR CONSIDERATION WAS THE EFFECTS OF COVID-19.

AND PREVIOUSLY WE HAD BEEN ASSUMING A 3.5% GROWTH EVERY YEAR OVER YEAR.

UM, HOWEVER, UH, WHILE WE'RE STILL PROJECTING 3.5% GROWTH, UH, IN OUR TAXABLE THAT, UH, VALUATIONS FOR FISCAL YEAR 21, WHILE WE HAD THEM REDUCE THAT TO 0% FOR FISCAL YEAR 2022 AND 2023, AND THEN 1% FOR FISCAL YEAR 24, BEFORE GOING BACK UP TO THE 3.5% A YEAR OVER YEAR, UH, BASED ON THAT, UH, WE WOULD ANTICIPATE OUR CURRENT INS TAX RATE THIS YEAR IS 14.94 CENTS.

UH, NEXT YEAR WE, UH, BASED ON THIS ANALYSIS AND ASSUMPTIONS, WE'RE LOOKING AT 16.26 CENTS, AND THAT INCLUDES THE REFUNDING CHANGES IN VALUATION AND THE NEW GENERAL OBLIGATION BONDS THAT WE'RE PROPOSING.

UM, OUR, OUR ASSUMPTION HAS ALWAYS BEEN 96.5% COLLECTION RATE ON THE, UM, TAX LEVY AND THEN OUR INTEREST RATE ASSUMPTIONS FOR THIS, THIS ISSUE.

ONCE THE NEW ISSUANCE WOULD BE 2.4, 8%, UH, AND THEN THE SALES IN THE OUT YEARS ASSUME A 4% FOR FISCAL YEAR 21, AND THEN 5% IN ANYTHING IN FISCAL YEAR 22 AND BEYOND, UH, TO BE HONEST WITH YOU IN THE CURRENT MARKET, UH, THOSE ARE VERY HIGH RATES.

SO, UH, I WOULD, YOU KNOW, IF WE STAY IN THE MARKET WE'RE IN NOW, UH, WE WOULD COME SIGNIFICANTLY VERY SIGNIFICANTLY UNDER, UNDER THAT, WHICH WOULD GENERATE SUBSTANTIAL INTEREST SAVINGS.

UH, I BELIEVE WHEN HILLTOP HAD PRESENTED THIS, UH, ANALYSIS AND ASSUMPTIONS PREVIOUSLY, THE TOP TAX RATE ON THE INS SIDE WAS PRESENTED AT, UM, ABOUT 1.7 CENTS, LESS THAN WHAT'S PROJECTED HERE.

HOWEVER, THAT IS A THAT'S STRICTLY DUE TO THE REDUCTION IN THE TAXABLE ASSESSED VALUATION GROWTH, UH, THAT WE'RE, THAT WE'RE SHOWING DUE TO COVID-19 AND THEN OUR TIMELINE FOR THIS.

SO WE'RE HERE TONIGHT TO PRESENT THE PLAN TO THE COUNCIL.

UH, JUNE 19TH, WE WOULD PROVIDE A DRAFT OF OUR PRELIMINARY OFFICIAL STATEMENT TO THE RATING AGENCIES, UH, THAT WEEK OF JUNE 29TH.

WE'LL HAVE RATINGS CALLS WITH BOTH S S AND P AND MOODY'S, UH, IN THE MIDDLE OF JULY, JULY 15TH, WE ANTICIPATE TO RECEIVE THE RATINGS AND THEN JULY 30TH, WE WOULD DISTRIBUTE OUR PRELIMINARY OFFICIAL STATEMENT TO POTENTIAL PURCHASERS.

AND THEN AUGUST 11TH, WE WOULD HOLD A COMPETITIVE SALE.

AND THEN COUNCIL WOULD BE ASKED TO ADOPT A ORDINANCE TO AWARD THE BONDS AT THAT COUNCIL MEETING ON AUGUST 11TH.

AND THEN ABOUT A MONTH LATER ON SEPTEMBER 10TH, WE WOULD ANTICIPATE DELIVERY OF THE PROCEEDS FROM THE BOND SALE.

AND I'LL BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS OR ANY COMMENTS.

WELL, CERTAINLY VERY PLEASED AT THE LOWER INTEREST RATE.

PLEASE GET THE TAX RATE OR INTEREST IN SINKING SHOULD GO DOWN SLIGHTLY FOR THIS YEAR AND WITH A REFINANCING.

THAT'S JUST A WONDERFUL OPPORTUNITY.

SO THANK YOU.

APPRECIATE THE WORK.

THANKS STEVEN ANIMAL QUESTION.

BUT I, I AM HAPPY TO REMAIN WHERE I'M AT, BUT IF SOMEBODY REALLY WANTS TO, TO DO, TO TAKE ON SOME OF THE ROLES THAT I HAVE OR WHATEVER, YOU KNOW, UM, UM, I'M OPEN TO THAT.

SO ANYBODY ELSE LIKE A TOM, LAURIE, IVAN, MARLIN, ANYBODY ELSE HAS INTEREST IN THIS ONE? HEY, MERE, I'VE GOT AN INTEREST.

UH, FIRST, UM, THE DEADLINE FOR THE TRAILS MASTER PLAN SURVEY THAT HAD BEEN GOING AROUND AND, AND, AND, AND HAD CLOSED IS ACTUALLY BEEN EXTENDED.

AND SO MIDNIGHT ON TUESDAY, JUNE THE 16TH, WE, UH, WERE ABLE TO WITH OUR SCHEDULE, OUR PROJECT SCHEDULE WORKING A LITTLE BIT MORE TIME TO GET SOME ADDITIONAL COMMENTS.

WE HAVE RECEIVED OVER 500, UH, UH, RESPONSES TO THE SURVEY SO FAR, WHICH IS GOOD.

UH, BUT WE WANT TO MAKE SURE, SINCE WE HAVE A LITTLE BIT AT THE TIME, WE MAKE THIS AVAILABLE TO MORE PEOPLE FOR A LITTLE, A LONGER PERIOD OF TIME.

SO IF YOU HAVE NOT HAD A CHANCE YET TO SHARE YOUR INPUT ON THE TOWNS, UH, TRAIL SYSTEM, AND YOU HAVE A ANOTHER WEEK OR SO TO RESPOND,

[01:30:01]

AND THEN FINALLY, AS WAS MENTIONED EARLIER, WE ARE IN THE PROCESS OF RECRUITING LIFEGUARDS.

SO HOPEFULLY OPEN, UH, OUR, UH, OUTDOOR POOL IN THE, IN THE NEAR FUTURE.

UM, THAT'S, UH, THAT IS WE'RE IN A, WE'RE IN A FORTUNATE POSITION BECAUSE WE'RE LOOKING FOR LIFEGUARDS WHEN OTHERS, WHETHER POOLS ARE SLOW TO OPEN.

SO HOPEFULLY WE'LL GET THE ONES WE WANT, UM, SOON, BUT, UH, WE'RE STILL LOOKING FOR, FOR THOSE.

SO IF YOU KNOW ANYBODY OR, UM, UH, YOU KNOW, WHO'S LOOKING FOR A SUMMER JOB AND HAS EXPERIENCED OR NOT, UM, AS A LIFEGUARD, PLEASE SEND THEM OUR WAY.

WE'D BE ABLE TO CONNECT THEM WITH OUR HR DEPARTMENT AND, AND HAVE THEM, UH, KNOW, GET ON BOARD AS A, AS A LIFEGUARD.

SO THOSE ARE MY ANNOUNCEMENTS MAYOR.

UH, THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR LISTENING AND I APPRECIATE EVERYBODY'S ATTENTION.

AND, UH, I THINK, UH, WE'LL GO TO THE PUBLIC COMMENT PERIOD.

HEY, MAYOR, MAYOR.

YES, I HAVE.

I WANT TO MAKE ONE QUICK ANNOUNCEMENT IF IT'S POSSIBLE.

UM, IF YOU, EVERYBODY, EVERYBODY ON COUNCIL, WHEN YOU GUYS ALL RECALL BACK IN JULY OF 2018, THAT WE, UH, WE HAD A DISCUSSION ABOUT, UM, UM, RECOGNIZING, HONORING RON WHITEHEAD AND CARMEN MORAN FOR THEIR SERVICE TO THE TOWN OF ADDISON.

AND AT THAT POINT, UM, WE DECIDED WE WERE GOING TO DO A BRONZE PLAQUE DEDICATION FOR RON AT ADDISON CIRCLE PARK AND THE VITRUVIAN EMPATHY THAT WAS GOING TO GET RENAME AND CARMEN'S HONOR.

AND DURING ALL THE DISCUSSION, RON WYDEN HAD SPECIFICALLY ASKED THAT NO CITY FUNDS BE USED FOR THE PAID FOR ANY OF THIS, ANY OF THE RECOGNITION.

SO WE I'VE SET UP WITH THE HELP OF LOTS OF WEEKENDS FROM MARRYING ROSENBLUTH HELPED SET UP TWO DIFFERENT GOFUND ME ACCOUNTS THAT I'M GOING TO BE SENDING OUT SOME INVITATIONS HERE, UM, TO HELP THE MONEY AND ANY EXCESS MONEY.

AND ALL THIS STUFF WAS ON THE, ON THE GO FUND, ME PAGES, BUT ANY EXCESS MONEY, UM, RON'S EXCESS MONEY WILL GO TO THE RON WHITEHEAD ENDOWMENT SCHOLARSHIP FUND, WHICH WAS SET UP AT THE UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS AND ANY EXCESS MONEY AFTER WE PAID FOR THE, FOR THE PLAQUE FOR CARMEN'S DEDICATION, UM, GOES TO SUSAN G KOMEN.

SO I JUST WANT EVERYBODY TO KNOW THAT THAT THERE'LL BE SOME, YOU'LL PROBABLY SEE IT ON SOCIAL MEDIA, SOME INVITATIONS FROM DIFFERENT PEOPLE, BUT TO HELP, UH, FRIENDS OF ADDISON AND HONOR WRONG.

SO I JUST WANTED TO SEE IF THAT WAS OKAY TO JUST LET SOME PEOPLE KNOW THAT'S PROBABLY GOING TO BE HITTING THEIR EMAILS SOON.

SO, HEY, TOM, IS THERE A NAME, IS THERE A NAME FOR THE GOFUNDME PAGE THAT YOU'RE REFERRING TO? UM, YEAH, LET ME, LET ME FIND IT REAL QUICK HERE.

UM, YEAH, THE GO FUND ME, THE GO FUND ME WEBSITE IS, GO FUND ME.COM.

AND THEN I THINK YOU SEARCH, YOU CAN SEARCH.

THIS IS I THINK THE NAME THAT ROSE MARY ROSENBLUM SET UP WAS ADDISON HONORS, FORMER CITY MANAGER, RYAN W RON WHITEHEAD.

AND I THINK IT'S SIMILAR TO THAT.

PROBABLY YOU SEARCH RON WHITEHEAD IF YOU DON'T ACTUALLY GET AN INVITE FROM SOMEBODY, BUT HOPEFULLY IT WILL GET OUT THERE IN SOCIAL MEDIA.

THE ONE THING I WILL LET EVERYBODY KNOW, WHICH IS SORT OF THE WAY THIS IS SET UP, IT SAYS, IT SAYS THAT THE BENEFICIARY, THE WAY IT'S SET UP, I SET UP TWO DIFFERENT CHECKING ACCOUNTS.

SO THE MONEY GOES FROM GOFUND ME STRAIGHT TO THESE CHECKING ACCOUNTS THAT I SET UP.

AND ONE OF THEM IS IF YOU WANT TO PAY BY CHECK, THERE'S SOME INFORMATION ON THERE, BUT IT SAYS YOU MAKE IT OUT TO MAKE A CHECK OUT TO RON WHITEHEAD, A RECOGNITION FUND.

AND THERE'S ANOTHER ONE, CARMEN MORAN RECOGNITION FUND.

IF YOU WANT TO SEND A CHECK, YOU MAIL IT, IT'LL COME TO MY HOUSE.

I'LL PUT IT IN THOSE TWO SEPARATE CHECKING ACCOUNTS.

AND RIGHT NOW, IF YOU LOOK ON THE THING, IT SAYS THAT I'M THE BENEFICIARY OF, BUT I WANT EVERYBODY TO KNOW THAT I JUST KNEW HOW MUCH THE COST FOR THOSE PLAQUES.

REMEMBER THAT EVERY GO BEYOND THAT G RIGHT.

UM, I WANT TO, I THINK CARMEN'S WAS, UM, IT WAS TOTAL OF ABOUT $2,700 TOTAL, I THINK, FOREVER FOR RON'S AND CARMEN'S, UM, I OPENED UP THE CHECKING ACCOUNTS.

I FUNDED IN THE MONEY ALONG WITH, AND THEN, UH, RAFT ALREADY HAD MADE A, A CHECK, A DONATION TO CARMEN'S FUND FOR $500.

SO I, I PAID FOR THE REST OF IT AND I I'VE ALREADY PAID THE TOWN.

SO THE TOWN HAS BEEN PAID WITH PRIVATE MONEY TO

[01:35:01]

DO THIS.

SO, UM, AND SO THEN WHATEVER WE RAISE ABOVE THAT, I THINK IT WAS 27.

WE'VE GOT THE EXACT AMOUNTS, OR WE CAN GET IT FROM THE TOWN WHATEVER'S RAISED ABOVE THAT.

ALL THE MONEY GOES TO THOSE, TO THE TWO DIFFERENT CHARITIES.

ALRIGHT, GOT IT.

AND JUST SO YOU KNOW, AND ABOUT AN HOUR AND WE ALREADY EXCEEDED OUR GOAL FOR RON'S AND THAT WAS VERY QUICKLY, SO HOPEFULLY IT'S GOING TO GET OUT THERE.

WE'D LIKE TO RAISE SOME MONEY FOR BOTH GREAT CHARITY.

SO THANK YOU.

IRMA.

DO WE HAVE ANYBODY FOR PUBLIC COMMENT? YES, SIR.

WE HAVE ONE GENTLEMAN THAT'S WAITING ON THE PHONE AND THEN I HAVE ONE EMAIL THAT WAS RECEIVED THAT, UH, THE GENTLEMAN THAT SENT IT REQUESTED THAT IT BE READ INTO THE RECORD.

SO WHATEVER FIRST HAVE HIM CALLING AND THEN STATE HIS NAME.

HOW MANY HE WILL COME AND WORKING ON IT.

WELL, WHILE HAMID'S WORKING ON IT AND YOU WANT TO GO AHEAD AND DO THE EMAIL.

WE'RE HAVING A LITTLE BIT OF TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES HERE TONIGHT.

MAYOR, I KNOW MAYOR, THIS IS HAMI.

THERE IS NO PHONE NUMBER, NOBODY WAITING IN THE WAITING ROOM.

SO RIGHT NOW, WHICH IS SKIP THIS BECAUSE THERE'S NO ONE THERE.

OKAY, GREAT.

UH, THE EMAIL WAS RECEIVED FROM MR. HOWIE ISAACS AND IT GOES, THIS IS WHAT HE HAD SUBMITTED FOR ME.

INDEPENDENCE DAY HAS ALWAYS BEEN A CELEBRATION OF FREEDOM.

I'VE ALWAYS BEEN VERY PATRIOTIC.

I SERVED IN THE U S NAVY ON A TECH SUBMARINE.

I LOVE MY COUNTRY WHEN I HEARD THAT THE CELEBRATION AND THE PART FOR KABOOM TOWN MAY BE CANCELED.

I WAS VERY DISAPPOINTED FOR MONTHS.

WE HAVE HAD TO LIVE UNDER RESTRICTIONS AND GIVE UP FREE, EVEN FREEDOMS TO HELP STOP THE SPREAD OF COVID-19.

I DON'T GIVE UP FREEDOMS EASILY.

I BELIEVE THAT THE ECONOMIC SHUTDOWN AND OTHER MEASURES WERE HUGE OVERREACTION.

WHAT WE NEEDED TO DO WAS EXERCISE, SOCIAL, DISTANCING, AND EXPOSURE, LIMIT OUR EXPOSURE TO OTHER PEOPLE AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE.

WE NEEDED TO EXERCISE GOOD HYGIENE.

THESE ARE ARE THINGS THAT I HAVE DONE DURING EVERY FLU SEASON.

WE NEED TO GET OUT AND ENJOY A DAY IN THE SUN AND IN THE FRESH AIR.

IF YOU CLOSE ADDISON CIRCLE PARK, AND YOU DON'T ALLOW US TO WATCH FIREWORKS FROM THE PARK, YOU ARE VIOLATING THE SPIRIT SPIRIT OF INDEPENDENCE DAY.

YOU ARE GIVING INTO TYRONY TYRON.

HE DOESN'T JUST COME FROM OTHER, FROM GOVERNMENTS.

IT ALSO COMES FROM CIRCUMSTANCES LIKE WHAT WE HAVE BEEN LIVING UNDER.

I'M A VERY STRONG LIBERTARIAN.

I WANT TO LIVE MY LIFE IN FREEDOM WITHOUT SOMEONE TELLING ME WHAT TO DO.

I THINK MOST OF US FEEL THIS WAY, BUT I'M ESPECIALLY COMMITTED TO THIS.

THIS NATION FOUGHT A TERRIBLE WAR TO WIN ITS INDEPENDENCE.

LET'S NOT GIVE UP THAT INDEPENDENCE BECAUSE OF A VIRUS.

WE KNOW HOW TO TAKE CARE OF OURSELVES.

SO PLEASE DON'T STOP US FROM EXERCISING OUR OWN GOOD JUDGMENT.

THE TOWN OF ADDISON SHOULD STAND UP FOR FREEDOM, NOT GIVE INTO CRITICS WHO MAY COMPLAIN ABOUT KABOOM TOWN BEING HELD IN THE MIDDLE OF A PANDEMIC.

WE RECENTLY HAD A GROUP OF PROTESTERS IN ADDISON CIRCLE PARK.

YOU ALLOWED THAT NOT ALLOWING THE CELEBRATION IN THE PARK FOR KABOOM TOWN WOULD NOT MAKE SENSE.

PLEASE ALLOW THE BOOMTOWN TO GO FORWARD.

YOU WOULD NOT BE VIOLATING THE GOVERNOR'S GUIDANCE ON OUTDOOR EVENTS.

SINCE A SPECIAL PROVISION WAS MADE FOR INDEPENDENCE DAY.

YOU WILL MAKE A LOT OF ADDISON RESIDENTS.

VERY HAPPY IF YOU KEEP KABOOM TOWN GOING THIS YEAR, SIGNED HOW HE ISAACS.

THANK YOU, IRMA.

SO OVER CONSIDER THAT.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

NEXT ONE IS CONSENT AGENDA ITEM SIX, SEVEN, EIGHT, AND NINE.

HOW WE, IF YOU ARE WATCHING US.

ALL RIGHT,

[ Consent Agenda: All items listed under the Consent Agenda are considered routine by the City Council and will be enacted by one motion with no individual consideration. If individual consideration of an item is requested, it will be pulled from the Consent Agenda and discussed separately.]

IS THERE ANYONE ON THE POOR, ANY ITEM MAYOR BEFORE YOU DO THAT? JUST A REMINDER.

WE DO HAVE ANOTHER CONSENT AGENDA ITEM THAT WAS ADDED AS AN ADDENDUM.

SO WE'VE GOT ITEMS SIX, SEVEN, EIGHT, NINE, AND NINE DOC ONE NINE.ONE.

[01:40:01]

DO I HAVE ANYONE ON THE POLL? ANY ITEMS? SO FOR DISCUSSION OR CLARIFICATION? NO.

NO.

ITEM, NUMBER 10, PRESENT, DISCUSS AND CONSIDER ACTION ON A RESOLUTION.

IF NO ITEM IS SIX, SEVEN, EIGHT, NINE, AND NINE.ONE, TWO.

I HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE THOSE ITEMS. SO I HAVE A LORI WARD MADE A MOTION.

AND THEN PAUL, WHAT IN SECONDARY OR IN FAVOR TO APPROVE ITEMS? SIX, SEVEN, EIGHT, NINE, AND NINE.ONE SAY, AYE.

[10. Present, Discuss and Consider Action on a Resolution Approving an Interlocal Agreement Between the Town of Addison and Dallas County for the Distribution of CARES Act Funds to the Town for Authorized CARES Act Activities and Authorize the City Manager to Execute the Agreement. ]

APPROVING AN INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE TOWN OF ADDISON AND DALLAS COUNTY FOR THE DISTRIBUTION OF CARES ACT FUNDS TO THE TONGUE FOR AUTHORIZED CARES, ACT ACTIVITIES, AND AUTHORIZE THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE THE AGREEMENT WEST .

THANK YOU, MAYOR AND COUNCIL.

I'M GOING TO ACTUALLY TURN THIS OVER TO BILL HOLLY TO, TO PRESENT THIS.

AND THEN A PANEL OF STAFF MEMBERS WILL HELP, UH, WALK US THROUGH, UH, SOME OF THE CONCEPTS THAT WE'RE CONSIDERING IS FOR HOW WE USE THESE DOLLARS.

SO BILL, IF YOU'RE READY.

GO AHEAD.

YES, SIR.

UH, 90, WE KNOW 96,000 EXPENSE TO DATE ON THE LOW END AND ADDITIONAL HUNDRED ON THE HIGH END AND ADDITIONAL 200, AS FAR AS ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS FOR RESIDENTS, UH, FOR THE TOWN, YOU'LL RECALL THE COUNCIL APPROVING AND ADDITIONAL $85,000 TO METROCREST SERVICES ABOUT A MONTH AGO, THOSE, UH, GO TO THEIR, UH, FOOD BANK, UH, RENTAL ASSISTANCE, UTILITY ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS FOR ADDISON RESIDENTS.

THANK YOU, MAYOR AND COUNCIL.

MY NAME IS BILL HOLLY.

I'M THE ASSISTANT TO THE CITY MANAGER.

THE TOWN HAS BEEN ALLOCATED $894,000 UNDER THE CARES ACT FOR THE REIMBURSEMENT OF ELIGIBLE EXPENSES RELATED TO THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC TO RECEIVE THIS FUNDING, THE TOWN MUST EXECUTE AN INNER LOCAL AGREEMENT WITH DALLAS COUNTY.

THE TERMS OF THE AGREEMENT ARE VERY STRAIGHTFORWARD.

THE TOWN MAY SEEK REIMBURSEMENT FOR ELIGIBLE EXPENSES RELATED TO THE TOWNS COVID-19 RESPONSE AND MITIGATION EXPENSES.

THAT WOULD BE THINGS LIKE PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT, SANITIZING, PUBLIC SPACES, CERTAIN PAYROLL COSTS RELATED TO PUBLIC SAFETY AND PUBLIC HEALTH EFFORTS DIRECTLY RELATED TO COVID-19.

AND SOME TELEWORK COSTS.

THE TOWN CAN ALSO SEEK REIMBURSEMENTS FOR PROGRAMS THAT ASSIST OUR ADDISON RESIDENTS THAT WERE IMPACTED BY THE PANDEMIC.

AND ALSO FOR PROGRAMS THAT ASSIST ADDISON BUSINESSES IMPACTED BY THE PANDEMIC.

THE INNER LOCAL AGREEMENT RUNS FROM MARCH 1ST TO NOVEMBER 30TH OF THIS YEAR, THE TOWN WILL RECEIVE $20,000 OR 20%, WHICH IS $179,000.

UPON EXECUTION OF THE INNER LOCAL AGREEMENT WILL THEN BE REQUIRED TO SUBMIT INVOICES, TO PROVE UP THAT $179,000.

THEN WE CAN SEEK PRE-APPROVAL AND, UH, THEN BEGIN SUBMITTING INVOICES RELATED TO THE ADDITIONAL $716,000, UH, THAT WE HAVE ALLOCATED TO THE TOWN.

SO, UM, THOSE WOULD BE SUBMITTED MONTHLY TO THE COUNTY AND ANY UNUSED FUNDS AT THE END OF NOVEMBER, WE'LL REVERT BACK TO THE COUNTY.

SO AGAIN, THE, YOU KNOW, OUR LOCAL AGREEMENT IS VERY STRAIGHT FORWARD.

THE MONEY WAS GIVEN FROM THE FEDS TO THE STATE, TO THE COUNTY AND IN TURN TO US.

SO THAT'S THE WAY THE AGREEMENT NEEDS TO WORK.

SO IF, UH, UM, UH, IF THE COUNCIL IS INTERESTED IN PURSUING THAT INNER LOCAL AGREEMENT, WE'LL DISCUSS ABOUT THAT IN A, IN A MINUTE.

OUR ASSUMPTION IS THAT THAT THE, THE COUNCIL IS, SO IT REALLY KIND OF LEAVES US TO THEN HOW WOULD THE COUNCIL LIKE TO PROCEED WITH THE USE OF THAT APPROXIMATE $900,000? AND AGAIN, THEY FALL INTO THOSE THREE AREAS, REIMBURSE THE TOWN, SET UP PROGRAMS TO ASSIST OUR, UM, OUR RESIDENTS DURING THE PANDEMIC AND TO ASSIST LOCAL BUSINESSES IN THE PANDEMIC AND TO HELP YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT WE'VE SPENT TO DATE.

AND THEN WHAT WE ANTICIPATE WILL BE EXPENSES THAT WILL BE INCURRED DURING THE TERM OF THE INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT.

I'LL PROVIDE YOU SOME OF THAT DATA.

WE ALSO HAVE ORLANDO COMPOST WITH ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT.

HE'S DONE A SURVEY WITH THE BUSINESS COMMUNITY, UNDERSTANDS WHAT SOME OF THEIR NEEDS ARE.

AND HE ALSO HAS SOME THOUGHTS OR IDEAS ABOUT WHAT A PROGRAM MAY LOOK LIKE.

SO AGAIN, WE'LL, WE'LL HOLD THIS DISCUSSION AND LOOK FOR DIRECTION.

AND THEN, UH, IF COUNCIL IS SO INTERESTED, WE'D BE LOOKING FOR ACTION ON THAT INNER LOCAL AGREEMENT.

SO WE COULD BEGIN THIS PROCESS.

SO, UH, TODAY THE TOWN HAS EXPANDED APPROXIMATELY $96,000 ON COVID-19 RESPONSE AND MITIGATION EFFORTS.

WE THINK OVER THE NEXT SIX MONTHS, WE'LL ADD ON THE LOW END, A ADDITIONAL, A HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS IN EXPENSES THAT ARE ELIGIBLE AND ON A HIGH END, UH, AN ADDITIONAL $200,000.

IT'S REALLY HARD IF WE'RE, IF WE'RE ON THE BACK END OF THIS AND THINGS GET EASIER, BETTER, UH, THEN, THEN WE'RE GOING TO BE ON THAT LOW END.

IF WE HIT A SPIKE, WE BECOME A HOTSPOT.

OUR EXPENSES MAY GO UP.

SO IT'S A LITTLE DIFFICULT TO ESTIMATE, BUT AGAIN, WE THINK,

[01:45:01]

THEY HAVE ESTIMATED THAT, UH, DURING THE, THE REMAINDER OF THIS TERM OF THIS AGREEMENT, THAT, UH, THEY WILL NEED AN ADDITIONAL HUNDRED AND $65,683 TO CONTINUE TO AID ADDISON RESIDENTS IN, IN THOSE PROGRAMS. THEY'RE ALSO, UH, WOULD LIKE TO HAVE A 20% CONTINGENCY ON TOP OF THAT, WHICH EQUATES TO $33,000.

SO ADD THOSE TWO TOGETHER.

UH, THEY WOULD ANTICIPATE, UH, A BASE OF ONE 65 WITH HOPEFULLY A CONTINGENCY OF 20% BRINGING THEIR REQUESTS FOR THAT PERFORMANCE PERIOD OF 200,000 ADDITIONAL DOLLARS.

IN ADDITION TO THE 85,000, THAT YOU'VE, THAT YOU HAVE ALREADY ALLOCATED TO THEM FOR BUSINESS ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS, ORLANDO AND HIS TEAM CREATED A GREAT BACK TO WORK PROGRAM WHERE THEY PROVIDED PPE AND SANITIZERS TO THE BUSINESSES THAT WERE GETTING UP AND RUNNING.

AND THE TOWN EXPENDED $7,425 TOWARDS THAT EFFORT.

UH, AND AT THIS POINT, I'LL PAUSE AND HAND IT OVER TO ORLANDO AND LET HIM TALK ABOUT SOME OF THE BUSINESS, UH, NEEDS THAT THE COMMUNITY HAS THE HIM AND HIS TEAM.

THANK YOU, BILL HONORABLE MAYOR CITY COUNCIL, UH, GOOD EVENING.

MY NAME IS ORLANDO ACCOMPLISHED DIRECTOR OF ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AND TOURISM FOR THE TOWN ADDISON.

WHAT ARE THE THINGS THAT WE'VE DONE AS A DEPARTMENT IS THAT WE INITIATED A COVID-19 ECONOMIC IMPACT SURVEY THAT WAS SENT OUT TO ALL OF OUR BUSINESSES.

AND SO THE WHOLE PURPOSE OF THE SURVEY WAS TO BEGIN TO GAUGE THE IMPACT OF THE UPENN DEMEC WITHIN OUR BUSINESS COMMUNITY.

WE WANTED TO KNOW HOW MANY BUSINESSES ACTUALLY APPLIED FOR SOME OF THE EXISTING PROGRAMS THROUGH THE CARES ACT, AS WELL AS OTHER SBA PROGRAMS. I THINK THAT ONE OF THE THINGS THAT IS STARTING TO BECOME, BECOME CLEAR IS THAT ABOUT HALF OF THE BUSINESS COMMUNITY DID APPLY FOR SOME OF THESE LOANS WHILE THE OTHER HALF DID NOT APPLY.

THERE WERE A FEW OF THEM WHO DID APPLY FOR THE LOANS.

AND THEN AT THE END, DECIDED NOT TO, UM, UH, TAKE THE LOAN FUNDING AT THE, UH, AT THE END.

WE ALSO ASKED THEM BASICALLY WHAT YOUR BIGGEST CHALLENGE WAS TODAY AND OVERWHELMINGLY WHAT WE'RE STARTING TO SEE IS THAT THE RESPONSES FROM LOCAL BUSINESSES DEAL WITH CASHFLOW, THE LOSS OF BUSINESSES, BUSINESSES THAT ARE NOT BEING ABLE TO A PAYMENT ON TIME, UH, AND OR ARE REQUESTING AN EXTENSION ON THEIR CREDITS.

SO IT'S DEFINITELY HITTING THE POCKET BOOKS OF A LOT OF BUSINESSES.

SO WHAT ARE THE PROGRAMS THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT DEVELOPING AND THAT WE WILL BE PROPOSING IN THE NEAR FUTURE IS A PROGRAM CALLED THE ADDISON CARES LEASE, UH, SLASH MORTGAGE ASSISTANCE GRANT PROGRAM.

AND SO WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT PROPOSING IS A GRANT PROGRAM WHERE WE WILL PROVIDE UP TO 75%, UH, OF A TWO MONTH LEASE OR MORTGAGE PAYMENT FOR LOCAL BUSINESSES.

THIS GRANT AMOUNT WOULD BE FOR A MAXIMUM OF $10,000 FOR, UM, A PER BUSINESS.

IT WOULD ENSURE THAT BUSINESSES ALSO HAVE SKIN IN THE GAME, WHICH IS WHY WE'RE NOT PROPOSING THAT WE PAY 100%, UH, AND IT WOULD HELP PROVIDE OR ALLEVIATE THE, UH, UH, FINANCIAL NEEDS OF THOSE BUSINESSES THAT ARE MOST VULNERABLE, UH, OF NOT STAYING, UH, AFLOAT.

SO THIS IS ONE OF THE PROGRAMS THAT WE'RE, UH, EXPANDING, AND WE WILL EXPAND A LITTLE BIT MORE ON PROVIDING ADDITIONAL CRITERIA ON HOW BUSINESSES MAKE QUALIFY, SUCH AS IDENTIFYING BUSINESSES THAT HAVE MAYBE FEWER THAN 50 EMPLOYEES WHOSE REVENUES HAVE DROPPED BY OVER 25%.

UH, WE WILL ALSO LOOK AT THE LENGTH OF TIME THAT BUSINESSES WERE HERE IN WORKING HERE IN ADDISON.

AND THEN WE'LL LOOK TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY'RE CURRENTLY IN BUSINESS, THAT THEY'RE CURRENTLY EMPLOYING AT LEAST 15% OF THEIR EMPLOYEES PRIVATE PRIOR TO THE, UH, THE PANDEMIC, UH, ITSELF.

WE'LL ALSO LOOK AND SEE IF ANY OF THESE BUSINESSES RECEIVED ANY CONCESSIONS OR ANY DISCOUNTS FROM THEIR LANDLORDS.

WE STRONGLY BELIEVE THAT THIS IS A GOOD PROGRAM BECAUSE ONE, IT WILL HELP ALLEVIATE AND PROVIDE FINANCIAL SUPPORT TO A SMALL BUSINESSES, BUT IT WILL ALSO HELP PROVIDE SUPPORT TO THE LANDLORDS WHO MAY HAVE BANK NOTES OR LOANS TO PAY ON THE BUILDINGS THAT THEY OWN.

SO THIS IS ONE OF THE PROGRAMS

[01:50:01]

THAT WE WILL BE LOOKING AT BRINGING, UH, TO OUR CITY MANAGER FOR HIS CONSIDERATION, AND HOPEFULLY ULTIMATELY YOUR CONSIDERATION AS WELL.

A QUICK QUESTION, ORLANDO, YOU MENTIONED, UM, UH, UH, SOMETHING ABOUT THE EMPLOYEES HAVING 15%, 15% OF THEIR EMPLOYEES BEFORE.

COVID, WHAT WAS THAT BASICALLY TARGETING THOSE SMALL BUSINESSES THAT HAVE LESS THAN 50 50 EMPLOYEES, AND THEN LOOKING AT WHERE THEIR EMPLOYMENT LEVELS ARE AT RIGHT NOW AT A VERY MINIMUM, THEY MUST HAVE AT LEAST 15% OF THEIR PRE, UH, SHUTDOWN LEVELS.

I SEE AT LEAST 15% OF THEIR PRE SHUT DOWN LEVELS OF EMPLOYEES.

I SEE.

PBP SECOND PAPER YOU SEND OUT, SO THEY MAY RECEIVE AFTER THE SURVEY.

BECAUSE I WAS, I WAS THINKING IN TERMS OF MEASURES FOR FUTURE, UH, VIABILITY IN TERMS OF, UH, TRYING TO ASSESS WHICH BUSINESSES, UH, HAVE A, A GOOD CHANCE IF THEY GET THIS OF, UH, CONTINUING TO SURVIVE.

SURE.

UM, THAT IS CERTAINLY ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE CAN ADD AS PART OF OUR APPLICATION PROCESS TO DETERMINE WHETHER OR NOT THE SUPPORT THAT THEY GET THROUGH THIS PROGRAM WOULD ACTUALLY ASSIST THEM TO STAY AFLOAT AND STAY IN BUSINESS IDEA OF HOW MANY YOU THINK, HOW MANY APPLICATIONS YOU'LL RECEIVE.

WELL, WE'VE, UM, A SURVEY THAT WE CONDUCTED, WE GOT ABOUT 50 RESPONSES SO FAR, AND SO AT LEAST HALF OF THE BUSINESSES, AND WE'VE KEPT TRACK OF THE, THOSE BUSINESSES WHO DID NOT RECEIVE ANY SUPPORT THROUGH ANY OTHER CARES, UH, PROGRAMS AND, OR DID NOT RECEIVE, UH, ANY, UH, SBA FUNDING.

AND SO WE'RE STARTING TO PUT TOGETHER A LIST.

UM, RIGHT NOW IT LOOKS LIKE 50% OF THOSE BUSINESSES DID NOT RECEIVE ANY FUNDING.

UM, AND SO WE THINK THAT THERE WILL BE QUITE A NUMBER OF OTHER COMPANIES THAT WILL COME OUT OF THE WOODWORKS AND APPLY FOR THIS PROGRAM.

IF WE DECIDE TO MOVE FORWARD WITH IT.

DID YOU REACH OUT TO, UM, DID YOU CAST A WIDE NET IN TERMS OF RESTAURANTS, HOTELS, COMMERCIAL? WAS IT JUST A, UH, YOU KNOW, OR A WIDE NET? YEAH.

WE HAVE A DISTRIBUTION LIST OF 1600 BUSINESSES THROUGH OUR BUSINESS REGISTRATION PROGRAM.

AND SO THIS EMAIL ON THE SURVEY WENT OUT TO ALL THOSE BUSINESSES, BUT IF WE DECIDE TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THE PROGRAM ITSELF, WE WILL NOT ONLY USE THAT LIST, BUT WE WILL ALSO UTILIZE OUR SOCIAL MEDIA LIST TO GET THE WORD OUT AS MUCH AS WE CAN.

SO DOES, DOES, DOES GETTING PP P FUNDING, UH, DISQUALIFY THEM FROM APPLYING FOR THIS DURING A CONFERENCE CALL WITH THE COUNTY? ONE OF THE THINGS THAT THEY WANTED TO ENSURE IS THAT THERE WEREN'T BUSINESSES THAT WERE DOUBLE-DIPPING.

SO THEY'VE INITIATED THEMSELVES, UH, A BUSINESS SUPPORT, UH, GRANT PROGRAM AS WELL.

AND SO IF ANY BUSINESS DID RECEIVE ANY SUPPORT THROUGH OTHER MEANS, AND THAT WOULD MEAN AUTOMATIC DISQUALIFICATION FROM THEIR PROGRAM.

AND SO WE WOULD INITIATE OR SORT OF FOLLOW THE SAME, UH, SHOOT I LOVE THIS.

THIS IS, UM, UH, THE REASON, THE REASON I, I REALLY AM IN FAVOR OF THIS IS BECAUSE NOT ONLY CAN YOU HELP SOME OF THE BUSINESSES THAT WERE UNDERSERVED IN THE SHUFFLE OF PAPERWORK, UH THERE'S YOU KNOW, A THOUSAND REASONS WHY, YOU KNOW, YOU, YOU KNOW, A LOT OF BUSINESSES MISSED OUT ON THAT, BUT, UH, THE BUSINESSES EMPLOY RESIDENTS AND THAT'S IN TURN, WHAT ALLOWS THE RESIDENTS TO PAY THEIR MORTGAGE AND THEIR LIGHT BILLS.

SO YOU HELP THE BUSINESS, UH, YOU HELP THE EMPLOYEES, YOU HELP THEM POTENTIALLY ADD ADDITIONAL EMPLOYEES.

AND LIKE YOU MENTIONED, YOU HELP, UH, THE, THE, THE LANDLORDS AS WELL.

SO YOU, YOU, YOU TOUCH ALL BASES THERE.

AND I WOULD HOPE THAT ESPECIALLY SOME OF THE BUSINESSES LIKE RESTAURANTS AND HOTELS THAT WERE, UH, PARTICULARLY, UH, DAMAGED THAT HAVE NOT GOTTEN OTHER FUNDING, UM, WAS CERTAINLY, YOU KNOW, APPLYING FOR THIS, YOU KNOW, I HAVE A QUESTION BECAUSE THE, WHEN THEY SEND OUT THE P P THE FIRST TIME, MOST RESTAURANT DAVID, BUT WHEN THEY SEND OUT TO THE SITE, MOST RESTAURANT RECEIVED AFTER THAT, THOUGH, MY QUESTION IS WHEN YOU DID THE SURVEYS.

SO THE SURVEY, IF THIS TOOL EARLY IN BETWEEN THE FIRST

[01:55:01]

SO THAT'S THE IMPORTANT ALL YOU'LL IDENTIFY THAT THEY RECEIVED THE PPP, OR THEY HAVE, YES, AND THIS WAS A JUSTICE SURVEY, BUT ONCE WE, UH, CLARIFY THE PROGRAM ITSELF, THAT WILL BE ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE WILL MENTION THAT IF THEY RECEIVED, UH, FUNDING THROUGH OTHER SOURCES, THEN THEY WOULD NOT QUALIFY FOR THIS PROGRAM.

JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE.

AND CAN I ALSO, UM, TO MY MIND, AND THIS MIGHT BE A BIGGER, BIGGER KIND OF, UH, UH, SUMMARIZATION TO MY MIND, WE WOULD ADDRESS NEEDS OF THE RESIDENTS.

UH, IF WE WERE TO ALLOT A PORTION OF THE FUNDING TO METRO CREST SERVICES, AND THEN ON THE OTHER HAND, THE MADISON CARES LEE SLASH MORGAN'S GRANT PROGRAM WOULD LEND ITSELF TO BUSINESSES.

SO WE GET BOTH SIDES OF THE EQUATION.

IS THAT CORRECT? YES, THAT'S CORRECT.

WEST.

WE'RE TALKING ABOUT VETERAN SERVICES, BUT I'M ALSO HEARING FROM SOME OF OUR NONPROFITS THAT SERVE A LOT OF, WELL, THAT SERVED VARIOUS, UH, PEOPLE AND ANIMALS AND SO FORTH.

UM, THAT THEY'VE GOT SOME, YOU KNOW, THEY'RE ASKING FOR A LITTLE BIT EXTRA, SOME OF THEM, BECAUSE OF COVID-19, I'M JUST KIND OF CURIOUS ANY, UH, ANY OF THOSE SHOULD CONSIDER IT ALSO ON THE, UH, RESIDENTS RESIDENT ASSISTANT.

WELL, WE CAN CERTAINLY LOOK, BUT THERE ARE REQUIREMENTS THAT HAVE TO BE MET FOR THE PROGRAMS FOR THE UTILIZATION OF THE MONEY.

AND THOSE GUIDELINES ARE GIVEN TO US BY THE DEPARTMENT OF TREASURY.

SO WE'D HAVE TO FIRST CHECK AND SEE IF THAT WAS, UM, THAT WAS A POSSIBILITY.

UM, BUT SECOND, AND I THINK IF, IF WE'RE REALLY LOOKING AT, UM, UH, HOW WE HELP PEOPLE AND I, YOU KNOW, I, I UNDERSTAND THAT, UH, THESE NONPROFITS ARE ALSO HELPING PEOPLE, BUT WHAT'S THE, WHAT'S THE BEST THING FOR THE BUCK, SO TO SPEAK.

AND WE KNOW THAT METRO CREST SERVICES WE'VE GIVEN THEM ADDITIONAL MONEY ON AN, ON AN EMERGENCY REQUEST.

AND, BUT WE KNOW THAT THAT REQUEST WAS MADE ON A, IT WAS A FRACTION OF WHAT THEY WERE PROJECTING THAT THEY WOULD NEED.

AND IN FACT, THEY'VE SENT US SUBSEQUENTLY, UH, ADDITIONAL INFORMATION TO TELL US WHAT'S, UM, WHAT, WHAT THEY WOULD NEED THROUGH THE REST OF THE YEAR, SO TO SPEAK.

SO WHILE THE COUNSEL PENDING, PENDING THAT, WHATEVER WE LEARNED FROM THE, UH, THE GUIDELINES FROM THE DEPARTMENT OF TREASURY, WE CAN COME BACK AND INFORM THE COUNCIL, BUT WE KNOW TODAY THAT METRO CREST SERVICES IS ELIGIBLE FOR THOSE DOLLARS, THE SERVICES THAT THEY'RE PROVIDING, WE KNOW THAT THEY ARE HELPING A LOT OF PEOPLE.

AND THAT, THAT IS, UH, UH, CERTAINLY A KNOWN PARTNER THAT CAN MANAGE THIS EFFECTIVELY.

SO, UH, WHETHER THE COUNCIL, AGAIN, WE CAN GO AND CHECK AND FIND OUT WHAT'S THE, UM, WHAT, WHAT IS ALLOWED UNDER THE GUIDELINES, BUT CERTAINLY, UH, THE COUNCIL CAN DISCUSS HOW THEY WANT TO DO IT.

BUT RECOMMENDATION FROM STAFF WOULD BE TO FOCUS ON THAT RELATIONSHIP WITH MEXICO SERVICES, BECAUSE THERE'S CERTAINLY A GREAT NEED.

NO, I, I, I AGREE WITH WHAT YOU'RE SAYING.

AND I WOULD SAY THAT, UH, WE, UH, TALKED TO THE FAMILY PLACE.

UM, THAT'S DEALING WITH DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AND WE TALK WITH, UM, OH GOSH, WHAT'S THE OTHER ONE THAT COMES TO MIND.

UM, WHAT'S YOUR OTHER ONE OFTEN CLAIM THAT METRO AND METRO CARE METRO CARE SERVICES ALSO AGAIN, WE'LL CHECK THE GUIDELINES AND MAKE SURE THAT IT'S ALLOWED.

AND THEN THE COUNCIL CAN DECIDE REALLY THOUGH, WHAT YOU WANT TO FOCUS ON TONIGHT, I THINK IS THAT WE'VE GOT A PIE THAT IS $895,000, RIGHT? SO THE QUESTION IS, IS HOW DO YOU WANT TO DIVIDE THAT PIE? YOU'VE GOT TOWN REIMBURSEMENTS THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT, YOU KNOW, IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD OF $200,000, WE'VE GOT, YOU KNOW, IF YOU JUST LOOKED AT METRO CREST SERVICES, YOU KNOW, THEIR, THEIR ADDITIONAL REQUESTS, YOU KNOW, AGAIN, NOT LOOKING AT HOW YOU FURTHER THE SET THAT, BUT THEIR ADDITIONAL REQUESTS TO BE IN THE $200,000 RANGE.

AND THAT WOULD, IF YOU JUST TOOK THE BALANCE OF WHAT WAS LEFT, YOU'RE JUST AROUND $500,000 FOR THE BUSINESS PROGRAM.

UH, SO THAT'S, IF THE COUNCILS THAT'S REALLY WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT FOR TONIGHT IS, OKAY, THIS IS OUR PIE.

HOW DO YOU WANT TO SLICE THAT GENERALLY? AND THEN WE'LL GO FIND OUT THE DETAILS ON WHAT CAN BE DONE SPECIFICALLY AND WHETHER, AND IF THE COUNCIL WANTS TO CONSIDER GIVING ADDITIONAL FUNDS TO OTHER NONPROFITS, AS OPPOSED TO JUST DOING THE THING THROUGH METRO CREST SERVICES, THEN THAT'S THIS THAT WE CAN FACILITATE THAT DISCUSSION.

IS HIS STAFF MADE A RECOMMENDATION ON HOW TO, HOW TO DIVIDE UP THOSE FUNDS?

[02:00:01]

YEP.

200, 200, 500.

DOES THAT EVEN SEE THAT? ALRIGHT, THAT WAS, THAT WAS THE MATH I JUST DID WHEN YOU WERE GOING THROUGH THE NUMBERS.

SO IT SOUNDS LIKE, IT SOUNDS LIKE 500 IS A WHOLE LOT OF MONEY, BUT WHEN YOU START TO LOOK AT THE NUMBER OF BUSINESSES THAT WERE IMPACTED, AND AS THOSE AS THOSE, UH, APPLICATIONS I'M SURE WILL BE COMING IN, IT GOES LIKE THAT.

AND THE NEED IS, UH, JUST, UH, VERY HIGH.

SO, UM, MY INCLINATION WOULD BE, UM, JUST HEAVILY FOCUSED ON WHAT'S BEEN LAID OUT AND RECOMMENDED BY STAFF.

I AGREE.

GO AHEAD AGAIN.

THAT'S 200 PER TOWN REIMBURSEMENT, UH, 200 FOR RESIDENT ASSISTANCE AND 500 FOR ASSISTED PROGRAMS. BUSINESSES.

500 IS JUST, I MEAN, THE TOTAL NUMBER IS NOT $900,000.

IT'S 894, I THINK.

SO ESSENTIALLY THAT'S, THAT'S WHAT, THAT'S WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT.

IF YOU HAVE UP TO 10,000 ONLY MAXIMUM SUBSIDIZE OR GIVE THE GRANT TO 50 BUSINESSES, YOU KNOW, THIS IS GQ.

CAN YOU CLARIFY THE MILESTONE THAT THIS IS A SET UNDER, ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT FOR THE COUNCIL'S STRATEGIC PLAN? I CAN'T OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD, BUT IF YOU GIVE ME A SECOND, I CAN, UNLESS WILL GO.

AND I'D BE HAPPY TO HEAR IT FROM YOU.

NO, NO.

I WAS JUST, UM, SINCE THIS IS ITEM 10 AND I'M LOOKING HERE ON THE, ON THE AGENDA.

IT IS THE CITY MANAGER DEPARTMENT AND THE MILESTONE HAS DEVELOPED A COTTON BELT STRATEGY THAT SHOULDN'T APPLY.

THAT IS NOT, THAT'S NOT RIGHT.

I THINK THAT'S CERTAINLY A TYPO.

SO I APPRECIATE YOU.

I APPRECIATE IT.

YOU MENTIONED LETTING US KNOW ABOUT THAT.

WE'LL, WE'LL FIX THAT, BUT GIVE ME A SECOND AND I CAN, I CAN TELL YOU WHAT THAT WILL BE.

HEY, WESTERN, WHILE YOU'RE LOOKING.

I GOT A QUICK QUESTION.

SO IS IT METRO ACROSS WE'RE RECOMMENDING 200, IN ADDITION TO THE 85? CORRECT.

SO IT'S REALLY TWO 85, RIGHT? WELL, IT COULD BE, IT COULD BE, IT COULD BE ONE OF TWO WAYS REALLY.

UM, SO THE, WE CAN REIMBURSE THE TOWN FOR THE $85,000 THAT WE GAVE.

SO THEN IT WOULD BE THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE 200 AND, AND, AND THE, UH, 85, OR THEY'RE ASKING FOR, I THINK IT'S AN ADDITIONAL $165,000 IN THAT NEIGHBORHOOD.

AND WHAT WE WOULD DO IS THEY BASICALLY BE COMMITTING TO 85 PLUS ONE, UH, YOU KNOW, THE ONE 65, BUT WHAT WE WOULD HAVE IS ANY DELTA OVER THAT IS KIND OF A CONTINGENCY SO THAT IF, IF SOMETHING ELSE COMES UP OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT, WE'VE GOT THE FLEXIBILITY TO, TO TAKE CARE OF THAT IF IT'S NEEDED.

SO FYI IT'S, THE NINETIES IS THE 96.

THAT IS, THAT THE TOWN SPENT SO FAR IS 85, 85 OF THAT, THE STUFF THAT WAS THE METRO.

I DON'T THINK SO.

BILL, CAN YOU ANSWER THAT PLEASE? THE 96 THINGS ARE HARD COSTS.

SO THE TALENT FOR PPE DISINFECTING AND ET CETERA, UH, OVERTIME FOR PUBLIC SAFETY, PUBLIC HEALTH, BUT THE 85 WAS, UH, WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THAT 96, BUT IT WAS MENTIONED WHEN WE TALKED ABOUT HOW MUCH HAD BEEN SPENT TO DATE ON, UH, THE, THE RESIDENT SERVICES.

AND THEN OKAY.

IF IT'S COUNCIL'S CHOICE, WE COULD CHOOSE TO REIMBURSE THE TOWN FOR THAT OR NOT.

AND IF THE, IF THE TOWN, OR IF THE COUNCIL SO CHOSE, THEN AT 85 COMES OUT OF THE EIGHT 94, REDUCING IT BY 85,000.

IT'S BOTH OF THOSE COUNT.

WE SPENT 180, RIGHT? HEY, HEY, WORSE.

DO NOT KNOW EXACTLY, UH, THE ALLOCATED 500,000 FOR THE SMALL BUSINESS, YOU KNOW, YOU NEED TO DEPEND ON THE APPLICATIONS RECEIVED, THEN IT CAN DETERMINE HOW MANY BUSINESS APPLIED FOR IT.

ARE YOU, ARE YOU LOOKING FOR COUNSEL TO BE MORE PRESCRIPTIVE THAN THE 200, 200, 500? NOT, NOT TODAY.

REALLY, REALLY.

I GET REALLY LOST WITH A LOT OF STUFF.

IF WE TRIED TO GO THERE.

THAT'S RIGHT.

I THINK THERE'S TWO THINGS THAT WE WERE LOOKING FOR ON THIS GEN ITEM.

ONE IS THAT THE COUNCIL TAKE ACTION ON THE INNER LOCAL AGREEMENT.

AND SECOND THAT YOU GIVE US GENERAL DIRECTION ABOUT WHETHER OR NOT THAT SLICING OF THE PIE, THE WAY WE'RE TALKING ABOUT IS ACCEPTABLE AND WE'RE NOT.

AND THEN, YOU KNOW, IF IT'S NOT THEN FIGURING OUT WHERE, RIGHT.

IS THIS THE RIGHT SIZING? LOOK WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE? EXCUSE ME.

YOU KNOW, I THINK THAT THIS MOMENT, CAUSE YO

[02:05:01]

SO, UH, I THINK IT'S TOO EARLY AND THAT, UH, TO ALLOCATE THE EXACT PERCENTAGE.

YEAH, WELL, WELL, THE OTHER THING IS THERE'S A HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS DELTA BETWEEN THE HIGH AND LOW OF WHAT THE TOWN IS EXPECTING TO, YOU KNOW, SO THERE'S A HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS RIGHT THERE THAT, YOU KNOW, IF WE'RE TALKING ABOUT REIMBURSING THE $85,000 OUT OF THEM AVAILABLE FEDERAL DOLLARS, IT COULD COME FROM THE DELTA.

IF THE TOWN DOESN'T SPEND THAT.

SO WE HAVE SOME FLEXIBILITY, I THINK GOING WITH THE TWO TO 200, 200, 500 RIGHT NOW IS ADEQUATE AS WE MOVE DOWN THE ROAD AND, AND WE CAN REFINE THOSE NUMBERS MORE.

WE CAN FURTHER DISCUSS THIS.

I, I I'M, I'M IN FAVOR OF THE TWO TO FIVE OR THEREABOUTS, UM, ESPECIALLY BECAUSE OF THE EXPONENTIAL VALUE OF GIVING BACK TO THE BUSINESS COMMUNITY AND THE IMPACT AND THE RIPPLE EFFECT THAT THAT WILL HAVE, UH, TO, UH, POTENTIALLY ADDISON RES RESIDENTS THAT NEED WORK.

UM, AND THE THINGS THAT I SPOKE ABOUT EARLIER YEAH.

FORWARD WITH A TWO TO FIVE ALSO IN FINE TUNING.

I AGREE.

AND I'M PREPARED FOR A BOAT.

TODAY THE MAIN THING IS, UH, TO AUTHORIZE THE CITY MANAGER TO ASK YOU THE INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT.

SO AS FAR AS THE DETAILS, HIS PERCENTAGE STILL, I THINK IT WOULD DEPEND ON ALL THOSE APPLICATIONS.

AND THEN ALMA CAN ALWAYS DECIDE THAT OFF, FINALIZE THAT IN THE LATER DAY, WE CAN ALSO SEE THAT THERE WERE MORE RESULTS FROM THE SURVEY.

DO I HAVE MOTION TO APPROVE THIS IN A SECOND? SO I HAVE A MOTION FROM IVAN HUGHES SECOND FROM MARLIN WILSON, OR IN FAVOR TO APPROVE THIS SAY, AYE.

THE NEXT ITEM REAL QUICK MAYOR.

I'M SORRY.

I'M NOT CLEAR THOUGH, ON HOW WE WANT IT.

I UNDERSTAND WE WANT SOME FLEXIBILITY, BUT FOR EXAMPLE, IF WE GET, IF WE GET A HUNDRED APPLICATIONS FOR THE BUSINESS THING, THEN YOU KNOW, THAT'S, THAT'S ALREADY MORE MONEY THAN WE'VE GOT AVAILABLE.

SO IT'S REALLY, IT WOULD BE REALLY EASY TO SAY LET'S PUT IT ALL TOWARDS BUSINESS OR, OR NOT.

SO I NEED, I DO NEED A LITTLE BIT OF GUIDANCE WITH, WITH BEING ABLE TO SAY, ALRIGHT, LET'S, LET'S USE THIS GENERALLY.

AND IF THERE, IF THIS NEEDS TO MOVE, THAT'S FINE.

BUT IF NOT, I MEAN, UH, ORLANDO MENTIONED UP TO 10,000, IF THERE ARE SO MANY ADVOCATES, SO YOU CAN REDUCE IT TO 5,000, EACH UP TO A HUNDRED.

RIGHT? SURE.

THAT GOT TO BE SOME FLEXIBILITY.

I WAS THINKING, I WAS THINKING IT WAS PROPORTIONAL, BUT IF YOU'VE GOT, YOU KNOW, TWO NIGHTS, TWO NIGHTS, FIVE NIGHTS, AND YOU LOOK AT HOW THE MONEY SPLITS OUT.

BUT, BUT I, I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THE COUNCIL IS COMFORTABLE WITH THAT BECAUSE IF THAT'S THE CASE, THEN THAT'S WHAT WE'LL GO IN AND START SETTING UP UNDERSTANDING THAT THINGS WILL CHANGE.

BUT THAT'S WHERE, THAT'S WHERE WE'RE STARTING FROM.

WAIT, WAIT ON THE STAFF.

VERY GOOD.

COMFORTABLE WITH THAT.
