Human Services Advisory Board - Regular Meeting

Welcome to the June 17th, 2026 regular meeting at the Human Services Advisory Board. I'm calling the meeting to order at 6.04 p.m. Thank you all for attending. Carol, will you please call the roll for the record of board member attendance? I know I'm hearing. I'm present. Don Ciaravallo?

Present. Raymond Best?

Here.

Ethan Gravis? Here. And Shereen Cressy? Yeah.

Yeah. All right. With five out of six voting members, we have a quorum. It is now time for the citizen comment period. Anyone is allowed to speak on any topic for up to three minutes. If you would like to speak during the citizen comment period, please raise your hand.

Okay. We don't have anyone. And then Raymond, I'm going to switch you over to a presenter just in case you need to Okay.

Now we will consider approval of the minutes for the meeting held June 10th, 2026. Do I hear a motion to approve the minutes for this meeting as written? Motion.

Second.

Motion was made by Yancey, seconded by Ethan. Does the board have any discussion or corrections regarding the minutes? No, seeing none, Carol, we please call the roll for the vote. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. And at least there are.

Can I interrupt again? Sorry. So. Okay. Yes.

Thank you.

Thank you very much.

Thank you. Thank you.

Yeah, exactly. Okay. Sorry. Okay.

Yeah. All right. We will receive a presentation from staff on the compiled preliminary scores and proposed allocations created by board members for the applications for human services grant funding.

Okay.

And I just thought I would just quickly review where we can do that.

Let's see, to recap, last week, sort of the process we were going through, we almost didn't have this in, yeah. The process we were going through was sometimes if an agency had multiple applications, y'all wanted to go ahead and talk about those all at once. And then other than that, going down the list, I was working in gold. Anything y'all definitely wanted to come back and talk about. But of course, you know, this meeting, you can talk for any of it that you want. And then we have about 12 that have not had discussion yet. I think I'm gonna, we had it, our list was in...

Uh-oh. Oh, and I need to share my screen. I'm so sorry. Okay.

Okay.

Can you see the spreadsheet?

Yes. Okay. It's like getting in her car. Okay.

Okay, now given the scores, we can always go through any questions you have, like, and look at other people's detailed scores or however you want to do it. We ended, we're going down the list by score. And so we're now in the territory where it's pretty mixed. This is where we are. Let me know if this is what in the amount of information you want to see. So that's kind of all I have for a presentation. I'm happy to kind of go through where we ended up with the various organizations.

I'll do this. That's the next. It looks like we're even on the funding. So, I mean, we should just go with the majority of those three. Most of the survey. And then Central Springs was in 163282A survey. And then East County Child Board 25.

Yeah, they're all three of them.

Yeah, well, most of them were like four. They were really awesome.

Which Centro program is that? Set the overhead.

Oh my goodness. Yeah. Yeah. Sorry. Actually, I've got to take it off the table.

Yeah. Okay. Our first action item is to hold a staff facilitated discussion among board members on the FY2026-2027 Human Services Grant Applications for the purpose of comparison, evaluation, and selection to create a recommendation to City Council on which applicant agencies should receive funding and how much funding should be granted to each selected agency and consider approval of the resulting recommendations. This was tabled at the June 10th, 2026 meeting. Do I hear a motion to remove this discussion from the table?

Motion.

Motion was made by Ethan, seconded by Cherie. Thank you. Okay. Does the board have any further discussion right now? Carol, will you please spell the role for the vote? Okay. Yes.

Yes.

Yes.

Oh, and then the next thing is after discussion.

So in my view, we've taken it off the table. It's now open for discussion after that. Somebody's going to have to make a motion on what to at any moment came going down. Okay.

Now we can. Yeah. Okay. So talking about these next 3. I'm okay with straight suggestion of doing the averages or doing the.

The minimum request that the market was spread. Okay.

Yeah. Like, he was basically taken the majority. of the answers. So it would be $9,500. The next one would be $16,328. And then the next one $25,000. That works for me. Where's Ray?

See if I can bring it up. So you are the only zero there. So did you have any issues with services?

I'm sorry, you guys are breaking up so badly. I think you were asking me if I had on which one on Hayes County Protective Board.

i'm okay with 25 i was again i just ran out of money at different points so yes i'm okay okay and then also that just indicates that don't you still speak louder okay so i'm going with uh well it's because my screen is shared but he's not oh let's see if i can change the view in the link You're not showing that, Ray, whenever I share the screen, and so we can't see you. I didn't think of that before.

Was there anything I need to do on this end?

No, I think I need to change gallery.

Show gallery at top. You can do like side-by-side screen. Yeah. Alright, let's try that. You can also make Ray's side of the screen smaller if you want to go to the middle.

And Ray, you can see the spreadsheet.

I can see the spreadsheet. I can see me. Can't see you guys, but that's OK. You lick your tongue out at me. I'll never know it.

I have a question. Ray, are you then OK with doing the minimums for the same amount for the Wait, can you go back to lifelong learning? And what was the other one?

Lifelong learning. Yeah, I'm okay with that for the minimum. And central Esperanza. Yes.

Yes. On both of those.

This is so bad.

Like, oh, there it is.

Oh, that.

It's got to be on it so we can, you know.

This is something that's been.

Okay, next one. So I'll just say you'll see that I'm going to. Set Louis 5000. Well, we'll just have to revisit that experience based on the coordination. Because you like the locations. Can you speak up? Yeah, so basically on Centro's friends, I just felt like their reason I gave 5,000, I'm 516, but the reason I was at 5 is because their location seemed like really, really far away. And it seemed like it was getting further out than our ETJ is. Since we did Centro 1, oh, sorry.

Since we did Centro 1, do you all want to go ahead and do Centro 2 as well? Yeah. facility continuity and safety supports. Oh, yeah. So we gave them 15,000 for the first one, right? 16. Yeah, so this one. And Marcus 5000. question.

This is the one for, yeah.

Does anyone remember what this looked like, like in their budget that they gave us for it, like how it was budgeted out?

So it was, sorry, the original ask was for to pay for the insurance deductible. And then they got that covered by a different funding source. And so then they were requesting the money for the staff security booth and a larger street visible bulletin board. And they had in their application, you know, what that was going to look like. And the staff security booth, they wanted that for more of their like bigger events to improve safety. Uhm, and for the bulletin board to reduce confusion and strengthen communication during my term. It's what their applications on. That was going to be the use for. Either one. Original. But now they want it for the who's going to be sound.

I'm honestly fine with anywhere we go on this. I have 5,000, but if y'all are looking to do less, that's fine with me, but it's up to y'all.

Ray, are you able to hear?

Yeah, I heard all that. I've actually heard that pretty clearly. And the only thing I can say is that I did zero because I felt like I needed to cut somewhere. And that was a good place to cut since I already thought we did. Number one project should get money. I can still hear you. The screen has blinked out a couple of times, but I can still hear you.

Yeah, you cut out. Yeah, we said you needed to cut somewhere and you cut.

I cut there because of we're already given, I'd already thought that they would, I was hoping they would get the full amount of their first one. And so this gave me a place to cut.

That's kind of where I'm at with it. It is only $5,000. So, like, I don't know that we'll miss it, but we are also at. Like 120 K left or something like that. I think so.

Or less maybe you don't want to revisit that.

Well, on this 1, I think that is a 2500. Yeah.

The average is $2,750. That's, you know, the two zeros.

I almost want to leave it at zero and revisit it if we have money left. See where we are at the end after we've allocated and if we want to start moving, I'd rather leave this one at zero. That would be my vote.

What were you going to say, Sheree?

I'll do that. Because looking at the historical, I mean, most everybody wasn't here when they first started planning for it. And that was one of the big questions for funding it. But that location wasn't within our ETJ and wasn't listening in to it. Where we're at now is... literally way out of the way, and I don't, I'm not sure how many in San Marcos, right? In San Marcos, I have the experience there. So.

I may have that report. I'll be able to take time to look at that.

So they moved to a different location?

Yeah. And I think it's like four months further from when we first funded. And back then I was, you know, part of the reason why my reason being support funding then was It seemed like an organization. There was a lot of San Marcos . But I don't know what happened with the application they ran. I used to drive by it very frequently. The other one I didn't even know was there.

Oh, yeah. I mean, looking at it, I think this is it on Google Maps. And it lists itself as Redwood.

Yeah, it's in Redwood. It's 100% Redwood. Whereas before, it was at the juncture of the and Redwood Road, I think it was.

I guess where I'm at, if they've already had their, like, insurance deductible paid, I understand, like, the security booth as, like, a necessity or, like, a security thing. The bulletin is something where I'm a little bit more, like, I feel like the money could be better spent elsewhere and for another agency. So I'd maybe be good with, like, $0 or $2,500 or something like that. But I think we can also revisit it at the end.

And also one last thing on that is when we look at their budget, for their . They have about $39,000 budget. They're like almost . It does say it's 50%. They don't have any . I don't think . We're funding is basically to renovate. I'm guessing since it's a new location, it had a lot of issues when we moved in. But again, where is there other ways?

I'm okay with keeping it at zero for now and coming back if we have something at the end.

That's if you want to come back and talk.

So we give you one move. Yeah. I'll give it one more time. There's some in goal that aren't zero that we've funded and thought maybe once.

Yeah.

Yeah, that's a good point to point out.

We have over 5,000 favorable.

We only have two other ones that are gold. One of them is Salvation Army and then which name was it there?

So we have Shive in public entry next to unique. Next, maybe it goes for me. Well, one's already at zero. So that is public entry and next to unique. So then we have Shive asking for the facility.

Some people get on there still.

He's out there here and here. Most common. See. Didn't see you, Gray. We don't miss anyone. Are you okay?

Yeah, they just went silent. I didn't know if y'all were still talking or not.

We're trying to fix the technology here too. I'm getting messages now from Alexis to try to tell them some things to try.

Uh, the lowest person for shine center was. Yeah, I'll see so.

So we're all right. And on the building. Oh, wow. Yeah, um, it's just like, this is really hard for me.

Yeah, so are we getting discussed both at the same time or just one at a time?

We can do both. I personally went with 15,000 for both requests just because that's what I felt was fair given like all the other funding that I had to commit to other agencies and stuff like that. And, you know, I'll speak up. Sorry. Sorry. But, yeah, I just wanted to give them something and that was, I think their total request was 45,000 that brought them to 30,000. so that felt fair in my mind.

This is the 1 they had mixed up. We're at 20, we're supposed to be 16 and then 12. Oh, I'm sorry.

I don't remember which ones and I already deleted that. But all I did was you had a down and I just think, yeah, the score is 18 and then the details. I made 15.

Oh, gosh. That was all. Yeah, it looks like I did the opposite. Well, we're sure. And then when you were. Yeah, I mean, so I agree with you as far as. 45,000 would be 30. That's 75% of what we asked. So. I don't have a problem with that.

I don't have a problem with that.

I guess it might also be a little prudent to ask if there's anything left unfunded that people want to fund that we haven't gotten to yet? Because we do have like 80,000. Oh, I'm sorry. We do?

We have money? No, we have like a few dollars. Okay.

Can you show me a little Excel?

To make it bigger? I don't remember. No.

We could just operate and then. That's right. And so then at least we get here. Oh, he can't.

No, I haven't been able to see y'all since you put up the spreadsheet. I'm just imagining in my mind's eye what you all look like.

But when we make it. The problem is, it's the spreadsheet is stuck. I can't make, I can't overlay some reason. I don't know why. Yeah, well, it's just on our way. We can ask. Why don't we take right now the picture and tell me?

Oh, it's just. See some of those are. Okay.

We can still see you at that point. Okay. There we go. And then I can make it bigger again. Okay. So, Ray, we can't see you, but that's not a guarantee.

I'm not worried about seeing y'all. I can hear you. That's fine. As long as you can see me and I'm officially at the meeting, I'm good.

Okay. Oh, yeah.

We'll count you as official because this is just silence. Yeah, that's true. He's normally supposed to be on screen, but he has to like this when she gets here.

Okay. So here we are. They were asking for 30 and 15 or 20 and 15. We've now switched Sheree.

And so we've got kind of a range.

And we know Madeline, you know, kind of looking at it opposite, like she wanted to find Programming, but not.

The third rail.

But they're both for the buildings.

Yes.

Yeah.

Yes. Sorry, it doesn't do any programming.

So the San Marcos Mental Health Clinic and the youth respite and peer support is both for the buildings. Yeah. To maintain the building where the youth stay at the youth respite and peer support and then maintain the building 200. It needs to be leveled.

According to my.

Again, my this same as it was. We're funding buildings instead of.

And I still give them quite a bit.

Okay, but they need those buildings to provide services and they can provide services if those buildings are falling apart. Like I remember one year they asked money and I don't remember if we gave them the money, but I do remember that they asked for it. to repave their parking lot because it was all inky and it was just not accessible.

I know for the pavilion, we didn't give money for that. Because up until the country, when MHD came into the picture, we always funded the services they provided. So this is where my conclusion has been the last two years is we've always funded the services and now suddenly the country mentioned me as the services.

I mean, honestly, I don't know what's confusing about it. I mean, I, the MHD for me, I can understand that they're outsourcing the services to them so that they can provide the services. And at this point, China's not able to provide the services, but they provide the buildings, right? And so I can see how it can be confusing, but I think it's been kind of clear.

The confusion was in the days we brought the services, health care and HB wasn't there in the first two years when I was here. Now suddenly it's split into two. Because we, as a board, we did not fund any. We were very wary of that money. Of funding for projects versus services, people and contractors. Thank you. So at some point they didn't cover this in their. The presentation they said it was always this way. At some point, the country may be to both services as they went out there. So I'm not I'm OK with providing them funding this time. But again, as a board, we should not be funding fixing properties and fixing things like that when the city council's priorities are the people's priorities, not the nonprofits themselves.

Was it, like, I know this is only tangentially related, but, like, wasn't Mission Able's task for money for buildings that they were going to repair on behalf of, like, people receiving their services? Like, it wasn't Mission Able's, like, headquarters that they were repairing.

Right.

And, like, you know, similar to this, it's not like they're making repairs to office space for themselves. They're making repairs to the spaces that they are leasing out to, leasing or allowing to use, whatever it is, to places like that. And I just... I honestly don't know what it would be like for any nonprofit or, like, mental health thing to try to, like, lease from, like, a typical commercial landlord or something like that. If, like, the space that shine provides either didn't exist, or, like, fell into too much just repair to where it couldn't be used. You know, so, like, I mean, I think it would be. A big financial burden if they had to outsource it to someone who is trying to turn a profit on, like, using them as, like, a tenant. Whereas. And again, I either wasn't in the application or I don't remember whether or not SHIB charges MHCD to use their spaces or anything like that, but I'm sure not as much as anyone else would charge for some of their space. So I'm okay with funding them in some regard because I think funding SHIB ultimately will also help the nonprofits that they're allowing to use those spaces as well.

And then I've already agreed to like funding that provided up. I'm talking out to the board is. Back in 2023, you had maybe one or two requests for billing meetings and stuff like that. And I can count five right now and it's getting more and more over the CDS and the missioning. I understand that they're doing it for competing with some markets, so 30,000 for them. So we have one. So that's not there again, fine, but. I'm against, you know, central is asking for. Shives that's like all the stuff on the place asking for the city services, the. Community services work.

There sorry, go ahead.

Yeah, I just also think it's important to kind of think about just the changing landscape of the nonprofit world. and that there are mostly opportunities for grant funding that have to deal with direct programmatic things, supplies, and stuff like that. And so there's not a lot of opportunities for staff and for building and all the other stuff that you need to run your programs. And so I think that's part of what this funding is intended to do is to help support the organizations that are doing the services, right? And so at work, I work with a lot of nonprofits and we have to figure out like, What is it that we can fund so that you have some money freed up in your budget to fund this other thing that you can't get a direct grant from? So I think everyone's needs are different. I think it is increasingly difficult to get money. And yeah, I think this funding doesn't have Those, like, set stipulations, because it's meant to kind of do a wide scope of things. So to move us along, because we got a lot going, if we are, can we agree, are we agreeing on the average? Are we agreeing on the minimum requests for both of these? What was the consensus?

I mean, the total is close to 25, so do you want to do 1250 or 12500 for each? Or do you want to say 15,000? I mean, I'm looking at three of us going 20 and above, so I'm good with that.

But again, I'm not against the funding, I'm just... For mutual reference, we're seeing more and more of these funded investment buildings, and the CS market should not be funding buildings.

Well, that's still the hammer, but I'll say we kind of do need to get right over a plate sometimes with Alexis. So far, it hasn't crashed again since I did an IHDI. Okay. But I'm sharing my screen, and technically, Greg counted as big in the meeting unless he's showing. So he is probably showing on the meeting. Oh, okay. But we would like to see them if we can. Is there any way to overlay them?

Yeah.

We tried that, but then we can't see enough of the spreadsheets. It's a little warmer. Yeah, that's what we tried.

Okay.

Yeah, he can't see us, but he's been listening.

Can y'all not see me?

We haven't been able to when this spreadsheet is. Right now.

How about that? Oh, that's.

We can still see the whole. We're just discussing. Does that work?

Yes. Okay, now I can see this. I'm not leaving.

You can't tell me to leave.

And we exist at the very bottom, too.

I can see you guys now and the spreadsheet. So do we have to do the whole meeting again?

Oh, yeah. I could hear every word. We don't have to start over in it.

All right. I have a question. Is there any way to get this little tiny spreadsheet down?

You can try and just move them down. See that setting on the top? Okay, if you don't.

I want to see what's happening. Okay. Thank you. Okay. Sorry, y'all. You were talking about. Center how much. I just want to say, yes, I just want to say that.

You keep saying we shouldn't be funding buildings.

Right.

to say use and market funding.

Okay, but if they wanted to put that stipulation in the grant, they would have done it, right? And I very much agree with Alyssa that there are a lot of grant funding sources that are very restricted and organizations can only use them for certain things. And a lot of, meaning a lot of other things are left out like building repair, right? Or just general maintenance. And I believe that this is an opportunity for those organizations to come and request that money because the grant doesn't have those restrictions, right? And I do agree that there are more requests for building repair. And I think that's just because San Marcos is an old city, right? There's a lot of old buildings in this town that are falling apart because they're old. And so I I don't agree with you that we shouldn't be funding for the green runner because these buildings are the house to provide the services for the people of San Marcos, right? If there's no house, there's no services for the people of San Marcos.

We've been to a library.

I've been to what?

A library. No, I haven't been there. They have a building with like five or six non-office there.

No, I haven't been there.

Yeah. And it's a brand new building. They all moved in there. They just paid our lease on it. To say the place, it might be that it's a fallacy because again, I'm probably providing services. What I keep saying is we're funding, we're funding. Buildings more and more in a year, and that's taken away from the actual service of the actual people. For the human services for the human.

Okay. So if you want to, if you want to fund services. Then let's provide services to because they're the ones providing the service. Yeah, but we can't because they're asked is so big.

Yeah. I put 30,000 for them. For the services, I didn't put zero because we're providing service. And again, this is coming from. 434 years of experience with these 2 organizations. Where. I know for a fact that SHI used to be the one that brought in services and they never asked us for pavilions, except for the pavilion in 224, 223, and then the debate. And as of where we all said, no, we're not supposed to do that. And I'm not saying I'm advocating for providing $35,000 to one organization for building services. But I'm saying at some point we have to stop saying, if we have to put in bylaws, we should not be funding building repairs, building services, for all the non-fundments. Which is the same thing that happened with Central. With Central back then, we provided some money for, I think it was like an AC moon end and something else. And they keep coming back with more and more and more. So at some point as a board, we have to make sure that we're funding services to people, not repairs for non-profits. There's another organization I can remember when I was born that they used to be in a building that was like dilapidated and stuff. And they asked for $8,000 and we're saying, you know, they were providing $35,000. the services each mh so what's called information there's such a big organization that they gave us bigger leave it on you know we can't find 150 where we have 750 on cutter budget and i know for a fact again mhd never asked so many until like last year in this year so providing 30 000 you go back to their baseline

$40,000 is above everything we've been providing for the last six years.

Am I feeling specifically?

No, try it. Try it. We gave them $50,000 a year and $36,000 a year.

MHD, we gave women $60,000.

Again, on that,

disputing the 35,000 we're about to give them, but we're walking down a very silver slope, and we're seeing more and more of these, and our budget more likely is going to be coming soon.

This is just a recommendation also, so if the council feels the way that you feel, then you know, they'll say, we shouldn't be funding this. I don't know how deeply they look into all the applications, but... Well, until they don't, and then they make up whatever they want to make up whenever they want. So, you know... No, I mean, that's what they do whenever they don't like something we say. They just change it and move along. So... They're elected. They're city council. Right, so it's all a recommendation.

You know, like, I, I kind of agree with, like, if Council, if it is something that Council is a problem with, I do think it should go into bylaws because, I mean, they're explicit about things like only paying a certain amount of staff, like, funds and things like that. So, you know, I feel like if it is going to be, if the goal of this is to 100% of it be services directly, you know, it's money going directly to people having it, you know, that does need to be stated somewhere in there. And until then, I think we are, you know, At our liberty to recommend whatever we think is most.

So, just to bring up the human services agency definition, which is what. Is centered in, like, that's who we're funding or whatever is in the rules and regs and so that means you often change it. Not in this meeting, we have to post it for a future agenda. But just so you know, that's where it is.

Like, we're kind of that specific thing doesn't say providing. What does this help?

It's really talking about the agency as far as what it would fall in there.

We just have to make sure we're funding some organization that is definitionally a human services agency. Anything within that, we have freedom to decide what we're funding as long as it doesn't exceed the staff limitations we have and other things like that. Yeah, I don't see a problem. I don't see buildings as particularly any less, you know, necessary than the actual money to fund the program in general. You know, I think they should be evaluated just like any other program on our system. Sure, like, every dollar we spend should not be going to, like, building repairs. I agree with you there. And, like, it should be something that we're, like, cognizant of. But I don't have a problem generally with people applying for that, you know, for, like, them to fund that through us or anything. And I don't think they should be blocked.

Today is a new day.

We are a new body. Things can change. And things change. And I mean, you know, here we are. So again, are we going to sit at the average? Are we going to go with the minimum? Because we got a long way to go. It's okay with the average. The average, okay, 15, 833 and 9,500.

Sure. I'm okay with that. Are we running 16 or 15?

I'm okay with that again. This is future reference. We're seeing a lot more every year.

So next is. team networks. So that's new services here.

And y'all are during our birthday, we're requesting it for they do have a lot of zeros. So maybe industry.

These versus more Bureau, this is the summer Like primarily summer program, but it's an all year thing.

It says money will be used for rental facilities. Oh great.

$25,000 and $5,000 for seasonal hourly volunteers. For representation. But yes, they are the ones that have the optional program for for youth. And Let's see. I do know that they are a very small group, but I really liked how it's just like generations of families that

you know, these kids have gone through the program, and then they have kids, and their kids are participating in the program for volunteering, where they used to volunteer as kids, and I really like that. But I don't know how y'all feel about calling them.

I think I have already run out of money, if I cut that point myself.

I think it does look a little not as cost-effective looking at it right now than I guess when I was doing my application. I am still fine with funding it at the $22,000 if that's what you guys want to do, but also, you know, I think lower is also probably where y'all are thinking given the numbers.

I think budget was an issue, but then I also think it was kind of in that bucket of the nice to have versus need to have of the things that I funded. But it seems probably like already like some has been shaved off of my allocations. So I'm okay with funding it at whatever level we agreed to.

Let's start calling in again.

676. So we have, just to look at what's left, Senate 4 and rough draft.

All the ones that are left?

Yeah.

So, we can do a lot.

So, yes, so.

How are you? Forty five?

We'll see.

The fun rough draft at their maximum, just since it's right there.

I don't want to forget Madeline entirely, so I'll just plug that, you know, she's in the next service to move on.

How much money do we have left?

Oh, so we're at 680, so we have 70,000.

70,000.

Yeah.

I'm okay with funding for us.

Yeah, because all three of these, all four of these, the things that have been, and what they're asking for.

I'm okay with the minimum if we're all in agreement for these three.

The three? Yeah.

I'm okay with the minimum of those. You were all zeros. I know I'm zeros, but again, mine wasn't because I didn't think it was good.

It was because I ran out of money.

See, I was an all or nothing, and I'm learning now that that's not necessarily a good way to do it. See, I'm learning. You can't teach an old dog new tricks.

Great.

Sorry, I'll be happy with that, I guess.

All right. So then, hold on here. So I think, let's just double check. So we're at 879, okay.

How did that happen?

Oh. How did we do it? Maybe it wasn't some of the ones that were hidden.

That's what Excel used to do. But I thought it had been fixed, but oh, sorry. So let's go $130,000 in reverse. Yes. I knew I was like, well, this is really good.

You know, like we can,

Go back and look at the gold or look at, you know, bottom up.

Can you do maximum to minimum of the proposed funding?

Oh, like the largest requests?

Oh, comparing those to minimum?

No, just the largest funding.

Yes.

Yes, sorry. Thank you.

OK. OK, so now we have no gray.

OK, so we've done these at zero.

We can go and look at the next.

OK. And then you want So here's kind of mid-range, and then we're all the way up to the top. Southside housing stability.

See, why didn't you propose to think of that? We didn't propose that. Yeah.

It's not true, but we didn't. I know. We didn't. That's how it printed.

Yeah, because Southside. Hold on. Yeah, because I remember with Southside, we were right around there, so overland, this was like 55 miles.

Well, and look how many 0 simply want to give I have in mind that's 150,000, 150,000 got 0 and then we gave 25,000 to the daily services and 20,000 the sunrise and that that's what's the additional 150. 0 for that I'm worried now a little bit, but I think that's the only mistake because that should put us where I thought we were with, like, 9000 dollars left.

I do have it on PDF that I sent to y'all, so we can compare. So, is that it? What was the other one, Ethan?

It was Daily Services 25. They were both at their minimums, I believe.

That looks right. Yeah. And the Sunrise Village. Yeah. Oh, God.

And then how much did we get access? Summer camp?

Down to the bottom. We have like 20,000, 20,000.

Yeah.

Do you feel the need for me to take a minute and bring up the PDF and just double check? Yes.

Okay.

Sure. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah.

I don't know.

I was like, is it going to be the babies or the puppies?

Well, I don't know.

It's because I have a little kid. Well, he's not so little anymore. Monsters University. And they're like, this guy hates charity. Yeah.

Okay. Just resign instead of getting rid of it. Post-funding. Okay, now we can see it. Now, go back over here. Just need it. Old style. Just need it to be. Well, I think I see. Sorry. I see what you are talking about.

Oh, sorry. Oh, I'm sorry.

They're not sorry. No.

There's already, oh, there's a new buyer now. So here we go.

So like eight, five, six. It's just a mess.

HCWC2. I don't know what order we're in.

On the spreadsheet you're on, you're in order of closed funding, highest to lowest. Or last, I have no idea. Yeah, so we can't. So we don't say we can't.

So just reading through a little bit of 43. Oh, you know what would make it easier?

Let's make this one else. I just said.

I said here, I don't even know. That's OK. Agency. Okay, now we can at least find the museum.

No one else.

Okay. So, HCWC. For you, we already checked.

Which are? Combined Community Access. HCWC 1. HCWC 9. 20. Southside. The Daily.

Is.

And 25. So there. You and she is listening. To.

Here at the team. Excitement. In fact with.

One, two, three, four. Okay. I'm going to send her. I'm going. I'm going. To noon. Chasing my scene 122.

And then. In the action. I. Oops. So. and losing this phone. Okay.

We'd like to learn. Okay.

Then we're at some zeros and not know. So let's check your country. You know, that was a zero. And then Southside housing stability, which is zero. Zero. And then we got that 50 out there. And then zero. Okay. Awesome. Post-funding, Hayes Helping Hands, one. Community Assistance, I have 6,000. But last time we had sent in zero. Okay, and here it is, okay. I don't know why, okay. I'm glad we're checking in. Okay, Senate Court, two. Oh, they were not. Okay, MELS and ACCESS. MELS, zero. ACCESS, zero. Whoops, sorry. Central Texas. Good thing. Goodwill. Zero. Zero.

Okay.

So I think we're good. As far as what was last week. Okay. So now we're back.

That's

Yeah, okay, so now we're kind of back in motion. Did y'all want to, oh, you know, I had it sorted highest to lowest.

It's the same, right, 723 or 724, really.

Okay, so there's, There it is. You know, we don't want to look at it.

Much money to be at home.

We're at 724. Yeah, so about 26,000.

I had two ideas.

What are your ideas?

Was going through and seeing if we gave anyone less than their minimum and trying to get them up to their minimum requests or just seeing if there's anything that we put at zero under the goals that we want to reevaluate. That might be like 10,000, 5,000, 15 or something like that. OK, and you're gonna find with either one of those.

Yeah, I like the minimum idea.

Oh, let's see. That tells you there are 18,000 over there, right?

And then this will tell you who is below.

Perfect. Okay. And anyone with zeros at their minimum, right?

Yes.

And then I can sort it, John.

Are these, yeah, are they in order of, I guess, highest scoring?

Yeah. Oh, okay. Right now they're at highest...

Do we want to do them by highest scoring? So those are the first ones that we do for that or just go through and see which ones it is and which ones we're going to send to. If they're all 10,000 below, we could just do two of them.

Yeah, we can. Can we see what the rest of the list looks like?

Okay, so that way.

We also have an algorithm.

What's that?

I didn't. Yeah.

I don't think our form of our filters. Which is the women's shelter under?

Well, the Rhapsody in Justice 5, the sexual assault program. I would honestly be at least the 5,000 programs.

How do y'all feel about that one?

So. Yes, let's see 16.

What about Mission Ables?

They're OK. OK, oh yeah. both kind of gold.

And going back to talk about gold, just put it out there. I wanted to do that.

What were the gold zeros though?

The gold zeros, oh, I suppose they're important.

That's what it is. Yeah.

From the zero goals, I would be okay with the thing with the grass and sand, guys, because it's closer, what we have is closest to their minimum from the others.

But I don't know.

I don't know. What is the minimum? And what is the minimum?

Six acres.

I believe it's $16,100. Yeah.

I'm also okay with spreading the love to other organizations we've already funded. I mean, I don't know, whatever y'all think is the most.

I think if we can get one more organization funded, that's always a win, but I don't know.

Which one then do we want to look at if that's the.

I'm guessing maybe the access summer camps.

Yeah, that's the one I was thinking.

Because we could do the 16. And it's definitely under what they funded, but they're getting something.

One, it's right along with what do you think?

Is that close to the story or something?

Yeah, because last year or two years ago, they got 10 million for that 18.

Okay, yeah.

And then two years before that, we had a million dollars.

Hey, we're done.

I'm happy to double check the numbers. Sorry, I will double check the numbers. I'm happy to sort and whatever. would help me review if you need it or get it.

And then I'll take the notes off. Just like assume it's all.

I'm good. Are y'all, is there anything y'all want to click on or help Carol sort for us?

Is she going to, Carol, are you going to give us this spreadsheet when we're done?

Yeah, so I'll send it to you in Excel and then It'll be public when the council agenda is posted, which will be like, I think, July, maybe again.

Okay, thank you.

It will be posted on the section. Yeah. And so then, and then I'll give the agencies a heads up like, hey, you know, agenda will be posted on the study, whatever. So they're not going to see it until the council has their package. So I feel like council should see it before it.

Just wanted in the record that I would like more funding and not less. The city budget against $400 shortfall.

Elimination is supposed to be even.

Well, apparently it's balanced now. Oh really? I just said to town hall at simple, right?

Well, that's unbalanced a little bit, but. Right, yes.

Yeah.

Do we now need to? Do we now need to vote on this as our final list? Yes.

Maybe I'll go ahead and, like, if y'all are going to vote on it, I'll PDF it so that we know that this was it. Because then I'll use this spreadsheet to sort and provide it in bits and pieces to the council.

And so they will be reviewing and making their decisions on the job?

So what am I asking? So we have to have CDBG on our decision. And then at the last meeting, they were talking about, well, maybe we want to just move them around so that maybe there's only a couple that are funded by CDBG. So, like, they would take HSAB's recommendations and the recommendation for CDBG, but put it together and just fund it by CDBG. Put everybody else over to HSAB. So they want to, like, flip funding. Because some agencies apply for both, but for different things. So I have to present about that. And then if they want to do that, you know, we have to sort through. So it could change your numbers. They can't make a decision about HSAB, like an approved one, until September 15th after the budget's passed. Because this is next year in dollars. So that's what's a little awkward. But they could go ahead and what I've said on the agenda is provide direction to spec. And so then if they provide a direction, then I'll just take it back to them as a formality on September 15th. And then. Okay. Does that make sense? I think so. Yeah.

Are they able to change their mind between like July 7th and the September 15th?

Because they can't make a formal approval on HSAB because the funding... is an extrovert. But they cannot make a decision with CDBG. CDBG either July 7th or August 2nd, but we were not. No. Go ahead. Yeah. That way we can.

Okay.

But August 2nd is dropped in for CDBG.

Okay. So redundant discussion and a motion to approve a recommendation.

Motion made to approve recommendation list

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

Thank you. Thank you.

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

Yes. Sharif Ghazis? Yes. And Alisa Ramirez? Yes. So we have five yeses.

Our second action item is to consider approval of the 2027 Human Services Advisory Board Annual Calendar. The item was postponed from the June 10th meeting. Carol will review it briefly, and then I will accept a motion. Carol?

Okay, just one second, because I do want to convert this.

Okay.

I'm just wondering how other things are going. Let me see. Yes. Thank you.

Okay. I'm sorry.

I wonder if city council watches these meetings.

Some of them do.

Especially when it's an organization. I'm sure I've been asked before.

This is an organization they've been passionate about.

And I'm watching them too.

Okay, calendar.

Just so you know, We can't wait till January to approve this, but.

I felt like while everything's fresh and y'all have kind of been through the experience, it would be good to go ahead and get it done. Now the board does have to approve an annual calendar. It's part of your required duties, and so January it'll be similar to this spring. So January I'll send out the public notice. We'll have the public hearing that's required and then at that. purposes to talk about the application. Oh, FYI, just a quick note. Council may also talk about mining into one application. DDG would still have to be reviewed by staff because it or somebody else because it has to go super fast because then we have to post it for public comment. But HSAE could still roll and then maybe when we take it like on whatever it would be, I moved a little earlier.

So, oh, no, it's the same, July 6th.

So maybe when I take it to them, then they would still have the option of flipping among funding sources a little bit. The reason they are talking about doing that is CDBG has a lot of paperwork. Why not just fund, two agencies, and then everybody has less paperwork. Staff does, agencies do, and so forth.

And those two agencies are just like, well, we're used to it, so we'll do it.

I did make the calendar very similar to last year, so starting, so the, sorry, I'm not finding it. Okay, application process begins, so it would go all of February, and then we always start reviewing You have your board orientation March 10th, and then we start rolling. Hopefully these will happen a little bit earlier, so then you would have more room if you needed it to have another meeting. So like, here's your second discussion meeting is on June 2nd. So if you need a three, you know, we can still post another meeting. That's kind of it. The same thing, you know, we'll propose the allocations July, but they'll have to vote on September.

We're going to have to get to you.

Yes, and that will happen in February to maybe we definitely need to replace Linda and perhaps they have to also replace one. So, yeah. But that will happen in February. And that way they can roll right into the board orientation. So that should work okay. February, like second meeting in February is the typical one that council kind of looks across all the forms and bills everything. So unless they're, you know, so that's it. I'm happy to answer any questions. And then I'll turn it back over to Alyssa.

Hello. Do I hear a motion to accept the calendar? Any other discussion on this? All right. Okay. Yes. Yes. Yes. Madam. Oh, shoot.

Not for Lisa Ramirez.

Yes. Okay. All right. Does any board member want to request an item for a future agenda?

No. Awesome.

We have an opportunity for the press and public to ask questions related to items on this agenda. If anyone has such questions, will you please ask them now?

I don't think we have any. Yeah.

All right. Thank you all for your participation. I direct your motion to adjourn. Motion made. Thank you so much. Carol, will you please follow the roll?

I did ask, let me end it. I don't want to fall for adjournment, so that's why we're still leaving. Anyway, Nancy Ramone. Yes. Yes. Yes.

Yes.

Yes. Yes. Yes.

Yes, they now during this meeting at 723.
