“Do you think that if there was a collaborative board with representation from Annie Maddox and representation from Richardson Community Center, that those people could work together to allocate funds to serve more children?”

“Hold on. Hold on. Hold on, sir. If you want to come up, come to the podium and speak. We can't have yelling from the audience because the people at home need to also hear why this is an issue.”

“Well, that's what I've been saying. And you guys have been saying, no, that's not going to work. No, I'm saying everybody come together. Everybody come together and allocate those funds out to serve more children in more ways.”

“I also think, to add to that, I think that having a committee like that makes it attractive for other partnerships and to add to that pot. It's seeded by the city, and then you have corporate sponsors that have allocated youth funds like Blue Cross Blue Shield, TD Bank, First Federal Bank, monies out there in the community that can also go into that pot to serve that mission. that is then allocated out to the people who are doing the work.”

“Hold on, we're not taking, you cannot yell from the audience. We do need clarification on this. Last night we looked it up on the property appraiser. It's owned by the Annie Maddox board, right? Yes, ma'am.”

“Okay, so it's owned by the board. Just like Richardson, it's pretty much owned by the board. So you may want to, no, the county owns Richardson Community Center. It's a public-owned entity.”

“$200,000, okay. So now we need to talk about where this $200,000 is coming from. Staff, do you have any recommendations? Because $50,000 is coming out of the Mayor's Matching Grant, so...”

“Sure. So if you just took it out of the surplus, if you just took it out of what we're taking out of surplus, it sounds like this full amount is likely to come out of surplus, which is a dangerous investment. That's correct.”
