KEN HILDEBRAND, DIRECTOR OF THE GLOBAL ACCELERATOR TEAM WITH THE OFFICE OF MANAGEMENT AND BUDGET. THE LAST TWO WEEKS AGO, WHERE AN ITEM BEFORE THE COMMITTEE. IT'S AN ORDINANCE. UH THAT WAS JUST READ, BUT IT HAD THREE ITEMS IN THERE THAT WERE ATTACHED TO A SCHEDULE REALLOCATING SOME FEDERAL ART FUNDS, $10 MILLION FOR LIBRARY RENOVATION AND EXPANSION TO ADD THAT TO SOME EXISTING FUNDS. 
          PARKS DEFERRED MAINTENANCE PROJECTS AT $13,250,000. AND THEN RUSSELL STATION TECHNOLOGY AND TRAINING CENTER AT $15 MILLION 750,000, AND THAT INCLUDED SEVERAL SUB RECIPIENTS WHO WOULD BE PROVIDING SERVICES. SINCE THAT TIME WE'VE PROVIDED SOME PROJECT PROPOSALS. ONE PAGES THAT YOU GUYS ARE REQUESTED, AS WELL AS A SUMMARY OF THOSE ONE PAGERS AND ALSO AT YOUR REQUEST. WE HAVE THE SUB RECIPIENTS HERE TONIGHT IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR THEM. 
          TONIGHT WE HAVE AMPED HERE AND WE HAVE DAVE CHRISTOPHER AND CHRISTINA SHADWELL. UH QUAKE, WHO? MARTIN AND MONICA STEWART FROM AMPED. FROM METRO UNITED WAY WE HAVE JOHN, NEV. IT ADRIAN JOHNSON AND LIZ MCCLELLAN. FROM THE LOUISVILLE URBAN LEAGUE. WE HAVE LYNDON PRIOR. BETTY FOX, AND I THINK LISA THOMPSON. IS MAYBE COMING AND THEN FROM THE UNIVERSITY OF LOUISVILLE. WE HAVE DR SHARON CARRICK AND FROM ELDER SERVE. WE HAVE TIM FINDLEY. SO HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU HAVE FROM ME. WE ALSO HAVE THE DEPARTMENT DIRECTORS FROM THE LIBRARY PARKS DEPARTMENT AS WELL AS ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT. UM SO. LOTS OF LOTS OF THINGS THAT WE CAN DISCUSS WITH THIS AND COLLEAGUES. HERE'S WHAT I WOULD ASK. I WOULD ASK THAT WE TAKE THE WAS INSTEAD OF 
          [00:20:01]
IT BEING ALL OVER THE PLACE AND PULL AND DIRECTORS UP AND DOWN. LET'S DO THE IF WE CAN DO THE WORK, FORCE DEVELOPMENT PEACE AND ASK THE QUESTIONS THAT WE HAVE WITH THE WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT PEACE FIRST. AND THEN IF THERE'S ANYTHING THAT WE NEED TO ASK FOR LIBRARIES WILL BRING THEM UP. AND THEN WE'LL FINISH WITH PARKS. UM SO I DO HAVE ONE QUESTION. SO WHEN I LOOKED AT THE SCOPE OF THE NEW PROPOSALS. SO I REMEMBER THE LAST TWO WEEKS AGO WHEN WE WERE TALKING ABOUT THE MONEY THAT WAS ALREADY PAID THE MILLION DOLLARS HOW MUCH OF THAT HAS BEEN ALREADY BEEN ENCUMBERED AND YOU WERE GONNA THINK. COME WITH A NUMBER. I DON'T I DON'T THINK I SAW THAT THERE WAS A QUESTION ABOUT THE LIBRARIES ABOUT THE AMOUNT THAT HAD BEEN ALREADY ENCUMBERED. UM NO, NO, NO, NO WITH WITH THE CEO. YES, YES, YES , YES. SO ALL THE FUNDS WERE ENCUMBERED. SO THAT WAS WHATEVER WE DO A SUB RECIPIENT AGREEMENT THAT ENCUMBER THE FUNDS FOR THAT PROJECT, NOT TALKING SPECIFICALLY ABOUT THE MILLION THAT WE LEFT OF THAT OF THAT. 
          HOW DO YOU SO AT THAT POINT YOU WERE SAYING AT THAT? I THINK. TWO WEEKS AGO YOU WERE SAYING YOU WERE JUST GETTING T INFORMATION FROM THEM OF WHAT THEY'VE ACTUALLY SPENT. SO AS OF THE LA MEENG, WE HAD PAID THEM 404,000, AND WE JUST PAID ANOTHER 68,000 THAT WERE OBGATE TPAY EM. IE EKANDHOSE WILL BE PART OFEQUESTT THE AUDIT THAT WE THAT STARTS NEXT MONDAY. OKAY SO ARE ANY OF THOSE THINGS THAT THEY JUST GAVE TO THAT? THAT LAST GROUP THAT YOU JUST TALKED ABOUT THAT THEY HAVE SUBMITTED NOW OR ANY OF THOSE MONIES THAT ARE GOING TO THE OTHER RECIPIENTS THAT WE HAVE IN THE AUDIENCE RIGHT NOW THAT HAVE ALREADY SUBMITTED DOING WORK AS I NOTICE EVERY ONE OF US THAT THEY'VE ALREADY STARTED. SO THEY SOME OF THOSE REQUESTS THAT SOME OF THOSE REIMBURSEMENT REQUEST THAT CAME IN FROM CEO SEE LAST WEEK INCLUDED INVOICES FROM THE SUB RECIPIENTS, AND THEY HAVE UNTIL WE GAVE COC AND DEADLINE OF THIS FRIDAY TOMORROW TO SUBMIT ALL OF THE RECEIPTS TO US, OKAY? THAT'S KIND OF BEEN A BY THE TIME WHEN WE TERMINATE A CONTRACTOR IN THE CONTRACT, THEY USUALLY HAVE 15 ADDITIONAL DAYS TO TURN IT ON THEIR SEATS. YEAH THAT'S UNDERSTANDABLE. SO WHEN WE HAVE THE FOLKS THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT TODAY, WHEN WE'RE LOOKING AT THEIR PROPOSAL, THE AMOUNT OF MONEY THAT YOU'RE THAT YOU'RE SUGGESTING IS TO TAKE IS MOVING FORWARD. IT'S NOT REIMBURSEMENT FOR THINGS THEY'VE ALREADY DONE BECAUSE THAT'S ALREADY IN A MILLION DOLLARS CORRECT. SO FAR, NONE OF THE SUB RECIPIENTS HAVE BEEN REIMBURSED FOR VERY MUCH. FROM CEO. SEE RIGHT, SO THE FUNDS THAT WERE RECOMMENDING FOR THEM INCLUDES THE AMOUNT THAT THEY NEED TO BE REIMBURSED FOR. THAT WAS SENT TO COC AND THEY WERE NOT REIMBURSED BY CEO. SEE FOR THOSE AMOUNTS. I MEAN TO SAY THAT SO SOME OF THE ORGANIZATIONS MAY HAVE SUBMITTED REIMBURSEMENT REQUESTS TO CLC THOUGHT THAT WAS THAT SECOND GROUP OF REIMBURSEMENTS THAT YOU'RE GETTING FROM. THOSE ARE THE ONES THAT JUST CAME DOWN. 
          OKAY, RIGHT AND WE HAVE NOT PROCESSED THOSE PROCESS THOSE THROUGH THE AUDIT, RIGHT? SO IN MY MIND, THEN THOSE THINGS THAT THESE FOLKS HAVE DONE WITH COC ALREADY. WILL BE PAID FOR OUT OF THAT POT. OUT OF THE POT. THAT'S UNDER THIS RECOGNITION DOLLARS WILL BE PAID. SOME OF IT WILL BE PAID OUT OF THE MILLION DOLLARS BUT MUCH OF IT FOR THE SUB RECIPIENTS WILL BE PAID OUT OF THE RECOMMENDED AMOUNT. BECAUSE NOT ALL OF THAT MILLION DOLLARS IS PROBABLY GOING TO BE MOSTLY THE CEO SEE COSTS AND SO WE'RE GOING TO USE THE RECOMMENDED AMOUNT. TO PAY FOR UM, THE PROCESS. THEY'VE ALREADY INCURRED THE COSTS GOING FORWARD AND ARE NO MORE WHEN THE AUDIT IS COMPLETE AS TO WHAT THAT'S GOING TO FULLY LOOK LIKE, OKAY. IN OUR GRANT RECIPIENTS THAT ARE WITH US TONIGHT ARE AWARE OF THAT. YES, OKAY. LET ME SEE WHO'S NO SPEAKERS WERE READY TO VOTE. JUST KIDDING. COUNCILOR FELLER. YOU CAN'T SEE. THANK YOU , MR CHAIR, SO THEY'RE JUST TALKING ABOUT AUNT ONLY UM, THE. THE AMOUNT OF, UM. THE RECOMMENDED AMOUNT ESTIMATED. 
          AND THE REQUESTED WHO IS REQUESTING THAT IS AMP REQUESTING THE 15 MILLION. THAT WAS THE REQUEST THAT WAS FROM AUNT YES, AND THAT SHOULD BE ON THE PROJECT PROPOSAL FORM THAT WAS SENT SHARED WITH EVERYONE COUPLE DAYS AGO. AND SO THAT. THAT AMOUNT OF MONEY IS TO COVER A COMPLIANCE OFFICER AND EMPLOYEE LIAISON CLIENT ADVOCATE AND INCLUDED SOME NEW POSITIONS 
          [00:25:07]
AS WELL AS THEY WERE CHANGING THEIR TRAINING MODEL FROM EVENING CLASSES TO DAYTIME CLASSES BECAUSE THEY FOUND WEREE AND THAT THEY WERE PERSONS PARTICIPATING IN THOSE CLASSES. 
          WERE ABLE TO COMPLETE MORE CERTIFICATES AND AN IMMERSION DAYTIME IMMERSION CLASS. SO WHY IS THAT COST MORE MONEY INSTEAD OF NIGHTTIME VERSUS DAYTIME? I MEAN, UM I DON'T KNOW ALL THE DETAILS ON THAT. DAVE CHRISTOPHER CAN HELP WITH THAT. BUT I THINK THERE'S MORE FUNDS INVOLVED IN BARRIER REMOVAL, BECAUSE IF I'M GOING TO I'M TAKING CLASSES DURING THE DAY. 
          THERE'S MORE BARRIER REMOVAL THAT I NEED THAN IF I'M TAKING CLASSES AT NIGHT. I MAY NEED SOME DIFFERENT TYPE OF TRANSPORTATION. I MAY NEED A DIFFERENT TYPE OF ADULT DAYCARE. 
          IF I'M IF I HAVEN'T A ADULT THAT NEEDS CARE AT MY HOME. THERE MAY BE OTHER TYPES OF FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE THAT I NEED DURING THAT TIME PERIOD. SO. BETWEEN THE SWITCH FROM DATA OR NIGHTTIME IN THE DAYTIME. AND THEN THESE 43 PERSONNEL. THAT'S $4 MILLION. I DON'T HAVE THOSE EXACT BUDGET NUMBERS IN FRONT OF ME, BUT I CAN GET THOSE TO YOU IF YOU'D LIKE THAT. YEAH THAT'S IMPORTANT TO ME, AND I'M NOT SURE I CAN VOTE ON THIS WITHOUT KNOWING THAT THANK YOU. COUNCIL ON PURPOSE. THANK YOU, MR CHAIR. UM SIR, I NEED SOME CLARITY ON THIS SUB RECIPIENTS. OF THE C E. 
          O. C AND IF YOU COULD IDENTIFY THOSE SUB RECIPIENTS AND DO THESE SUB RECIPIENTS HAVE SUB RECIPIENTS? SOME OF THEM DO? YES. SO THE SUB RECIPIENTS OF CEO SEE THAT WE HAVE WITH US TONIGHT OR AMPED. METRO UNITED WAY AND METRO UNITED WAY DOES HAVE SOME SUB RECIPIENTS WITH THAT THAT IT WAS PART OF THEIR PROGRAM. GLOBAL URBAN LEAGUE, UNIVERSITY OF LOUISVILLE AND ELDER SERVE AND WHERE THESE SUB RECIPIENTS IDENTIFIED DURING THE GRANT PROCESS. UM THESE THESE SUB RECIPIENTS FOR THE SERVICES THEY WERE PROVIDING WERE ALL IDENTIFIED WHEN THIS WAS BEFORE THE COUNCIL LAST YEAR, AS WELL AS THROUGHOUT THE YEAR THAT WE'VE BEEN WORKING WITH COC. 
          THEY IDENTIFIED THE WORK THAT EACH OF THESE SUB RECIPIENTS WERE GOING TO BE DOING OR CONTRACTORS IN SOME CASES UNDER THE SUB RECIPIENTS. MHM YES, RECIPIENT FOR METRO GOVERNMENT WAS C E O. C. AND SO AMPED METRO UNITED WAY. LOUISVILLE URBAN LEAGUE ETCETERA. THEY WERE SUB RECIPIENTS OF CEO SEE, AND THEN THEY HAD SOME RECIPIENTS. SOME OF THEM DID. YES I KNOW. METRO UNITED WAY I BELIEVE HAD A COUPLE OF SUBURBS, SIPPY INTS OR CONTRACTS HAD NOT SURE THE DETAILS OF THE OTHER ONES THAT THEY ALSO HAD SOME RECIPIENTS. I DON'T THINK THEY DID, BUT THEY CAN ANSWER THAT QUESTION FOR US. THEY YOU DON'T KNOW FOR SURE IF THE SUB RECIPIENTS HAD SUB RECIPIENTS METRO UNITED WAY TO GRANT WAS AWARDED WHEN THE GRANT WAS AWARDED CEO SEE GRANT WAS AWARDED COC. THEY DID IDENTIFY WHO THE SUB RECIPIENTS THEY WERE GOING TO BE WORKING WITH, AND IN THAT PROCESS, THERE WERE SEVERAL THINGS THEY HAD TO DO OF PUTTING OUT OUR FPS OR IDENTIFYING OTHER VENDORS OR OTHER NONPROFITS WHO COULD PROVIDE, UH, SUB RECIPIENT SERVICES. SO ALL OF THOSE WEREN'T IDENTIFIED AS HERE'S WHO WE'RE GOING TO BE WORKING WITH RIGHT AT THAT TIME WHEN THE COUNCIL VOTED ON THE ORDINANCE LAST YEAR, OR AS WE WERE GOSHI ATING THAT SOME IDEAS ON IT. BUT IN MOST CASES, SOME OF THEM THEY HAD TO PUT OUT A BID OR AN RFP FOR THOSE SERVICES. WAS THAT A REQUIREMENT? WELL CAN YOU CAN SPEAK TO THAT? I WOULDN'T THINK THE SUB RECIPIENTS OF THOSE SUB RECIPIENTS TO BE IDENTIFIED AT THAT TIME. I DON'T BELIEVE SO. NO. OKAY BECAUSE I THINK THAT WOULD BE CORRECT ME. IF I'M WRONG HERE, I THINK THAT WOULD BE FAIRLY COMMON FOR THE CONTRACTS THAT WE GET INTO. YOU HAVE A CONTRACT WITH WHOEVER, AND THEN THEY WE DON'T KNOW FOR SURE WHO THEY'RE GOING TO CONTRACT TO DO THE PLUMBING OR THE DO THOUGH SOME OF THEM WERE CONTRACTS THAT THEY HAD TO PUT IN ON R AND R F P FOUR SO THEY DIDN'T KNOW WHO WAS GOING TO BE AWARDED THAT OUR FB THEY KNEW WHO WOULD BE ELIGIBLE FOR IT. POSSIBLY BUT YES, PROBABLY ANOTHER ASSUMED. DON'T SPEAK FOR YOU BELOW ASSUMING PROBABLY HAVE AN IDEA WHO IS LIKELY TO BID ON YES, BECAUSE THERE'S ONLY SO MANY PEOPLE THAT DO A LOT OF THE WORK THAT THEY DO THEIRS. YEAH. 
          EVERYONE DOESN'T WAS THE RECIPIENTS RECIPIENTS DID THEY ALL HAVE TO BE PROVIDING UM, WORKFORCE SERVICES OR. SOMETHING IN THAT NEIGHBORHOOD FOR SERVICES OR BARRIER REMOVAL 
          [00:30:04]
SERVICES, SO THAT WAS A SERVICE THAT WAS BEING PROVIDED BY SOME OF THE SUB RECIPIENTS. SO HELPING SOMEONE WHO IS TRYING, WORKING TO GET A JOB OR GOING THROUGH TRAINING, PROVIDING BARRIER REMOVAL SO THAT THEY COULD ATTEND THAT TRAINING OR SO THAT THEY COULD QUALIFY FOR A JOB AND HELP WITH THOSE BARRIER REMOVAL SERVICES FOR A SHORT TIME. THANK YOU. TRANSPORTATION. 
          TRANSPORTATION CHILD CARE, TRANSPORTATION, CHILDCARE, FINANCIAL COACHING WITH SOMETHING ELSE THAT WAS BEING OFFERED. PRESIDENT WINKLER. THANK YOU, MR CHAIR, AND I'M SORRY I CAN'T SEE BUT I BELIEVE IS. IS DAVE CHRISTOPHER IN THE AUDIENCE? YES SIR. CAN HE ADDRESSED COUNCILMAN FOWLER'S QUESTIONS? YES, MHM. ART SO DAVE CHRISTOPHER EXECUTIVE RECORD FOUND EVENT. THANK YOU GUYS FOR GIVING THIS OPPORTUNITY. SO TO YOUR QUESTION, COUNCILWOMAN ABOUT WHAT? I GATHER THAT 45 MILLION. THE BREAKDOWN FOR THAT IS 2 MILLION GOES DIRECTLY TO THE WAGES FOR THE CERTIFICATION. HOLD ON JUST A SECOND, WOULD YOU . I JUST WANNA MAKE SURE THAT SHE HEARS YOUR ANSWER. SO THE QUESTION YOU ASKED ABOUT? WHY DID THAT NUMBER GO UP? FIRST OF ALL, IT'S BECAUSE IT WAS MORE ADDITIONAL WE'RE DOING. WE'RE DOING 40 HOUR WEEK INTENSIVE TRAINING. THAT'S THE TRAINING THAT WE DID IN 2017, WHERE WE WERE ABLE TO GET FOLKS WITH HIGH SCHOOL DIPLOMAS AND G D S JOBS AND DATA ALEX AND DATA SCIENCE AND HUMANA BROWN FORMAN. ANOTHER FOCUSES ON THE LOCATIONS THAT STARTED TO $65,000 A YEAR. SO THAT THE NEW MODEL IS A 40 HOUR IMMERSIVE. SO THEY PAID 40 HOURS A WEEK FOR 12 WEEKS AND THEN EMPLOYERS THAT HIRE THEM. SO $2 MILLION GOES DIRECTLY TO THEIR WAGES AND THAT THAT'S SO DID WE TALK ABOUT DIGNITY FOR THEM TO BE ABLE TO. THIS IS THEIR JOB FOR THAT 12 WEEKS THAT GETS A JOB THAT STARTS AT 6545 TO 65,000. THAT'S 2 MILLION OF IT. 1.2 MILLION ALLOWS US TO HIRE THOSE WALLS THAT YOU TALKED ABOUT. AND THEN THE REMAINING 2.3 COVERS. THE ITEMS, INCLUDING PROGRAMMING SALARIES ARE DESTRUCTIVE AND THAT KIND OF THING, SO THAT'S IN THE SOFTWARE, EVERYTHING. THAT'S HOW THAT BREAKS DOWN BECAUSE WE'RE USING MORE RESOURCES TO DO THE INTENSIVE TRAINING THAT WE LEARNED THAT THE EMPLOYERS NEEDED FOR THOSE FOLKS TO GET THOSE VIABLE JOBS RIGHT, SO NOT JUST ENTRY LEVEL JOBS AND CUSTOMER SERVICE WILL HELP DESK JOBS BUT ALSO JOBS DATA ANALYTICS, SO IT'S SORT OF STRENGTHENS THE ABILITY AND THEY GET MORE CERTIFICATIONS. AND SO WHAT HAPPENED WAS ONCE WE HAD ALREADY STARTED BECAUSE WE WERE CONCERNED ABOUT THE COC WAS NOT DOING IN TERMS OF COMMUNICATING WITH THE EMPLOYERS AND WHAT THEY NEEDED. AND SO WE WENT TO THOSE EMPLOYEES OURSELVES TO FIND OUT. WHAT IS IT YOU REQUIRE FOR THESE PEOPLE TO GET JOBS THAT ARE ADDED ABOVE A LIVING WAGE, AND THAT'S WHEN THEY CAME BACK AND SAID THE PROBLEM, WE DID IT BEFORE, IN 2017 AND BEYOND. WHERE WE GAVE THEM. DATA ANALYTICS DATA SCIENCE POWER BEYOND THOSE KINDS OF SKILLS THAT THOSE ARE THINGS THAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR, AND SO THAT'S HOW THE NUMBER CHANGE THE OTHER THING ABOUT THIS SUB RECIPIENTS AND WHETHER THEY WERE SUB RECIPIENTS. I KNOW THAT METRO 90 WAY HAD THE WE DO FINANCIAL LITERACY, AND SO THEY HAD A SUB RECIPIENT THERE. THERE'S SEVERAL CITIES WAS, I THINK APPLES I BELIEVE OR WHATEVER. BUT I'M SURPRISED IN THE UPRISING, BUT WHAT I WANT TO SAY IS THAT WE OPPOSED THE WHOLE IDEA OF THE 11.1 MILLION BECAUSE ONE OF THE THINGS WE WERE CONCERNED ABOUT WAS THAT INITIALLY THIS GRANT WAS $40 MILLION. YOU TOOK ABOUT 20 TO 24 BACK FROM THE C E. O C AND THEN IMMEDIATELY ALLOCATED THAT SOMETHING ELSE WITHOUT CONTACT WITHOUT SAYING, WHAT DO YOU GUYS NEED TO GET THIS THING DONE CONSIDERING ALL THE HARM IF YOU WILL THE CEO CEDED BY BEING THAT WHATEVER THEY DID, RIGHT? AND SO IMMEDIATELY WE WERE NOT GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY TO PRESENT THIS BEFORE. SO NOW WE DID. 
          THAT'S HOW WE GOT TO THE 15.1 MILLION. BUT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT DOING MORE IMMERSIVE TRAINING AND THOSE KINDS OF THINGS AND SO WHAT WE ENDED UP HAPPENING WAS, WHICH IS REAL CONCERN IS THAT FOR WHATEVER REASON THEY SUBMITTED THIS AMOUNT OF 15,750,000 AND THEN BASICALLY MADE US BATTLE FOR IT. SO SO WE GOT MORE MONEY AND THEN THE OTHER. THE OTHER PARTNERS GOT LESS MONEY, WHICH IS INTERESTING BECAUSE THERE WAS $24 MILLION PULLED BACK THAT WAS WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT MONEY, AND SOMEHOW WE'RE BATTLING FOR 15 15.7 MILLION. SO CAN I ASK WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED? UM, HAD THE MONEY NOT BEEN PULLED. COC WOULD HAVE HOPEFULLY DONE THEIR PART PORTION OF IT, AND WE WOULDN'T NEED IT. BUT WHAT HAPPENED BECAUSE THE HARM THAT WAS DONE BY CEO C AND THEIR THEIR LACK OF DUE DILIGENCE FROM THE EMPLOYERS THAT THAT WE DIDN'T WE DIDN'T HAVE A CLEAR IDEA BECAUSE WE WHEN WE DID APPROACH PROGRAM INITIALLY IN 2017 BEYOND RIGHT RECENTLY, WE HAD A FULL IMMERSIVE CEO SEEKING BUSINESS THAT THEY HAD ALREADY TALKED TO THE EMPLOYERS. AND THIS IS ALL THE EMPLOYEES NEEDED WAS THREE DAYS A WEEK, TWO HOURS A DAY, BUT WHEN WE TALKED TO HIM, WE FOUND OUT THAT'S NOT WHAT THEY NEEDED. THEY WOULD HIRE THEM THESE ENTRY LEVEL JOBS, BUT THAT WAS GOING TO BE HARDER FOR THEM TO DO. AS OPPOSED TO THE WAY WE 
          [00:35:03]
DID THE PROGRAM BEFORE SO AGAIN, IF NOTHING HAD HAPPENED IN THE 40 MILLION WAS INTACT WITH THE CEO, SEE? YES YOU WOULD HAVE RECOUPED THAT WOULD HAVE WENT TO THEM AND THEY HAD THE RELATIONSHIP. THEY SUPPOSEDLY HAVE THE RELATIONSHIP, SO THESE PEOPLE WERE READY TO HIRE. SO THE PROGRAM THAT WE HAD SET UP WOULD HAVE ACCORDING TO THEM WOULD HAVE WORKED. BUT NOW WHEN THEY WHEN YOU PULL THE COC OUT OF IT, THEN NOW WE'VE GOT TO FIGURE OUT WHAT THE EMPLOYERS WANT AND WHAT THE PLAYERS WERE BORN. HE WAS THIS MORE IMMERSIVE PROGRAM. WE CAN STILL DO THE PROGRAM, RIGHT? AND WE'VE GOT RELATED. WE'VE ACTUALLY GOT PEOPLE JUST THE OTHER NIGHT. WE HAD A COMPANY COMING IN DIESEL COME IN AND DO MARK INTERVIEWS FOR SOME OF THE PEOPLE THAT WE'VE GOT TO GO THROUGH TRAINING NOW, BECAUSE RIGHT NOW WE HAVE ABOUT CLOSE TO 60 PEOPLE THAT ARE GOING THROUGH TRAINING IN TWO DIFFERENT LOCATIONS. SO WE'RE DOING THE WORK. WE GOT IT GOING AND WE ACTUALLY GOT PARTNERS THAT ARE WILLING, HAD JUST HAD A MEETING TODAY, PLEADING WITH LAND TECH AND OTHER FOLKS THAT ARE READY TO DO THIS READY TO PARTNER WITH US TO DO THIS WORK. THEY'RE EXCITED ABOUT IT, BUT WE NEED THE MONEY TO DO IT EFFICIENTLY AND EFFECTIVELY TO GET THESE PEOPLE JOBS THAT WILL LAST AND THEN PUT THEM ON THE UPPER MOBILITY NOT TO JUST BE SERVICED AS WORKERS BUT THEN, ALSO BEYOND THAT. INTO LIKE OTHER HIGHER ROADS, MAKING MORE MONEY, SO WE DON'T WANT THEM TO COME INTO THIS COMPANY AND THEN JUST SIT IN THAT POSITION, THE WHOLE IDEAS, ECONOMIC EMPOWERMENT RIGHT FOR THEM TO GROW THROUGH THAT COMPANY IN THIS PROGRAM DOES THAT WITH OUR PARTNERS IN THE REFERENCE SERVICES THAT THEY PROVIDE, BUT BUT WITH YOUR PARTNERS, SOME OF THEM HAVE. THERE'S JUST BEEN CUT IN HALF, AND THAT'S A PROBLEM. I MEAN, IN MY OPINION, IF WE'RE GOING TO DO THIS, WE NEED TO DO IT AND DO IT RIGHT LIKE TO KNOW WHO'S REALLY DRIVING THE BUS. AND WHO IS OVER? AND HAVEN'T HAD THAT QUESTION ANSWERED EITHER. CAN'T ANSWER THAT QUESTION. THANK YOU DON'T HAVE THE KEYS. I THINK THAT IS THE ULTIMATE ISSUE IS OUR ORIGINAL BUS DRIVER IS NO LONGER DRIVING THE BUS. AND SO THEY'RE TRYING TO PICK UP THE PIECES. COUNCILMAN OWEN WELL AND THAT WAS WHAT I WAS GOING TO FOLLOW UP WITH. SO I'M JUST I'M TRYING TO FOLLOW THE CONVERSATION HERE AND I WAS NOT HERE WHEN THE PREVIOUS DECISION WAS MADE. TO ALLOCATE THE MONEY ORIGINALLY, SO I DON'T REALLY YOU KNOW, IT'S HARD FOR ME TO FOLLOW THE PROCESS. SO CLEARLY, THE COUNCIL FELT LIKE CEO C WAS PROVIDING A SERVICE OR WE WOULDN'T HAVE. WE COULD HAVE DIRECTLY ALLOCATED THE MONEY TO THE SUB RECIPIENTS IN THE FIRST PLACE. SO IT'S BEEN SURPRISING TO ME THAT WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO PIVOT SO QUICKLY IF CEO C WAS SO IMPORTANT IN THE FIRST PLACE. HOW CAN WE PIVOT SO QUICKLY AND JUST PROVIDE THE MONEY DIRECTLY TO THE SUB SUB RECIPIENTS WITHOUT THE SUB RECIPIENTS DOING SOME OF THE WORK THAT THE COC WAS BEING ASKED TO DO IS THAT PART OF WHAT YOU'RE SAYING IS THAT YOU'RE TAKING ON SOME OF THAT RESPONSIBILITY THAT THEY WERE BEING ASKED TO DO ORIGINALLY? SO, YES. SO WHEN I TELL YOU IS THAT WHEN WE INITIALLY GOT INTO THE COALITION I SORT OF INTENTIONALLY MADE SURE THAT WE COULD GET WHAT WE WOULD NEED TO GET DONE. EVEN IF THERE WAS NOBODY ELSE WE TRIED TO MAKE. OUR PIECE OF IT IS INDEPENDENT AS YOU POSSIBLY COULD, BECAUSE WE DIDN'T KNOW WHAT WAS GONNA HAPPEN. AND SO FOR A LOT OF THE LION'S SHARE OF THE WORK THAT NEEDED TO BE DONE, WE HELD ONTO AND WE KEPT CONTROL OF, BUT AS FAR AS BECAUSE THE C O C SAID OKAY, WE'VE GOT THESE COUNCIL MEMBERS THAT ARE WILLING TO DO SO. WE SO WE HIT SO THAT MONEY WAS OVER THERE THAT THERE COMES RESOURCES OVER THERE, AND WE WERE SUPPOSED TO PROVIDE THE TRAINING, WHICH IS WHAT WE DO, BUT NOW WE'VE ALSO DONE RECRUITING AND GETTING PEOPLE HIRED. BUT CEO C WAS TAKING THAT PIECE OVER. I MEAN, WE KNEW THAT EVEN WITH EVEN BEFORE YOU GUYS MAKE THE DECISION TO TAKE THAT MONEY BACK FROM COC WERE ALREADY CONCERNED. AND SO WE WERE ALREADY OUT THERE TALKING TO EMPLOYERS AND TRYING TO FIND OUT WHAT IS IT YOU NEED? AND WHY IS THIS THING WITH SOME SLOW AND WHY ARE WE NOT GETTING INTEREST WHEN WE HAD STORE MEETING FOR THE FOR THE COUNCIL MEMBERS TO MEET FOR THE CFC COUNCIL MEMBERS OF MEMBERS OF ORGANIZATIONS TO COME AND SIT DOWN AND TELL US WHAT THEY NEEDED AND WHAT KIND OF POSITION THEY HAD, HOW MANY ROLES THEY HAD, WE COULD. THAT WASN'T HAPPENING SO IMMEDIATELY BEFORE THAT, WE IMMEDIATELY PIVOTED HAD YOU REACHED OUT TO ANYBODY IN THE ADMINISTRATION OR COUNCIL TO EXPRESS THAT CONCERN PRIOR TO US TAKING THE MONEY BACK FROM CEO C TOOK PRESS THE CONCERN THAT YOU DIDN'T FEEL LIKE THEY WERE EVEN AT THAT POINT, LIVING UP TO THE AGREEMENT THAT THEY WERE LIVING UP TO THE WORK THAT THEY HAD BEEN HIRED TO DO. WE WERE WELL, NO ISSUING REPORTS TO AND FIRST OF ALL, DID I CHARACTERIZE THAT IN A FAIR WAY? I THINK SO. YES YEAH, I THINK SO. SO I'LL SAY THIS IS THAT WE REPORT WE SENT REPORTS TO UH, THE ACCELERATE TEAMS SAYING THAT WE HAD CONCERNS ABOUT THINGS THAT WERE NOT BEING DONE. I'LL BE I'LL BE STRAIGHT WITH YOU. I WAS HESITANT TO LIKE, BE TOO CRITICAL OF THEM. BECAUSE WE'RE SUPPOSED TO BE A PARTNER. THAT'S WHAT WE CALL LISTENS TO GIVE THEM TIME TO FIGURE IT OUT. RIGHT AND SO WE'RE IN THE SAME TIME WE CONCERNED AND WE'RE TRYING TO HELP TO GIVE THEM TIME TO FIGURE IT OUT. WE ALSO OUT THERE SORT OF HEDGING OUR BEST AND MAKING SURE THAT WE HAD A WAY TO PIVOT QUICKLY. SO WHAT 
          [00:40:01]
YOU'RE SEEING NOW IS US ALREADY AHEAD OF IT, SAYING THAT WE WERE CONCERNED WE WERE. WE DIDN'T WANT TO BLAST THEM BECAUSE WE WANT TO GIVE GRACE AND THIS IS OUR PARTNER, RIGHT? THESE ARE CALLED COALITION. WE DON'T WANT TO BLAST THEM, BUT WE WERE ALWAYS CONSIDERED ABOUT THEIR ABILITY TO DO WHAT WE NEEDED THEM TO DO. SO WE STARTED TO LOOK OUT THERE AND FIGURE OUT HOW CAN WE GET IT DOWN OURSELVES? AND SO THEN THIS ALL CAME ABOUT AND AS FAR AS US BEING ABLE TO SUBMIT THEIR MOUTH I MEAN, HONESTLY, WE HEARD WE HEARD ABOUT THE PRESS CONFERENCE. AN HOUR BEFORE THE PRESS CONFERENCE THAT ANNOUNCED THAT $24 MILLION WAS BEING TAKEN BACK AND THAT IT WAS THEN GOING TO PARKS AND LIBRARIES, WHICH IS, YOU KNOW, GREAT. RIGHT ACCEPTED. IT WAS WORKFORCE MONEY. AND WHAT WE HOPE THAT WHAT HAPPENED WAS YOU WOULD TALK TO US AND SAY, OKAY, WHAT IS IT? YOU NEED TO CONTINUE WITHOUT CEO? C INSTEAD WHAT WE HEARD WAS YOU NOW HAVE 17. WITH $15,750,000 THAT YOU GUYS GOT TO GET IN THE RING AND FIGHT IT OUT. THANK YOU. I APPRECIATE THAT CLARIFICATION. I'D KIND OF LIKE TO HEAR FROM THE OTHER SUB RECIPIENTS AS WE GO TO HERE. THEY'RE KIND OF PERSPECTIVE ON THAT SAME WHAT YOU JUST SPOKE ABOUT FROM THEIR PERSPECTIVE, BECAUSE I THINK IT'S HELPFUL. ABSOLUTELY THANK YOU APPRECIATE IT WOULD ADD. ONE PIECE OF THAT. I THINK THAT WHEN THE COUNCIL VOTED ORIGINALLY THE COUNCIL WAS UNDER THE IMPRESSION THAT HE SAID, YOU KNOW THAT COC WOULD FIGURE IT OUT. I THINK THE COUNCIL WAS UNDER THE IMPRESSION THAT CEO C WAS INVOLVED IN THIS FOR SOME TIME AND HAD IT FIGURED OUT TO SOME EXTENT. SO IT WAS A MATTER OF GIVING IT TO SOMEONE WHO WE'VE, WE FELT RIGHTLY OR WRONGLY FELT LIKE COULD DRIVE OF US EFFECTIVELY AND GET OTHER MEMBERS IN THE COMMUNITY TO DO. 
          COOPERATE AND GET THE BIGGER VISION COMPLETED THAT THEY WERE THE ONES THAT COULD PULL THAT OFF. RIGHT LATER, WRONGLY COUNCIL AND AUTHOR. THANK YOU AND I AGREE WITH MY COLLEAGUE. 
          I'D BE INTERESTED IN HEARING FROM THE OTHER SUB RECIPIENTS. I JUST WANT TO POINT OUT EVEN THOUGH WE HAD A NUMBER OF MEMBERS ON THE BUDGET COMMITTEE THAT ARE NO LONGER HERE ON THIS COMMITTEE. THAT THE THEME. THE RECURRING THEME WAS THAT WE HAD A LOT OF TRUST IN INSTITUTIONS LIKE A LOT OF TRUST, AND IT'S JUST INSTITUTIONS LIKE METRO UNITED WAY AND SO FORTH. A LOT OF THE QUESTIONS AND CONCERNS, AT LEAST FROM FROM MY END. WE'RE BECAUSE THERE WAS A LACK OF TRUST WITH THIS HEALTHCARE COUNCIL. AND I REMEMBER WHEN WE DEBATED THIS, I KEPT SAYING IT IF ALL THE FUNDING WENT TO AND SOME RECIPIENTS, WE'D BE OKAY WITH THAT BECAUSE WE KNOW THEIR WORK. SO I JUST WANT TO BRING THAT UP BECAUSE AS WE HAVE THIS DISCUSSION ABOUT WHO'S DRIVING THE BUS I JUST WANNA RECONFIRM AND REAFFIRMED MY FAITH IN THE ORGANIZATIONS THAT ARE CURRENTLY IN THIS LEGISLATION THAT WE'RE DEBATING FUNDING. THEY HAVE A TRACK RECORD THAT SPEAKS FOR ITSELF AND I CANNOT WAIT TO SUPPORT THEM AND VOTE. YES ON THIS. BUT AGAIN, I WOULD LOVE TO HEAR FROM THEM IN THEIR PERSPECTIVE ABOUT HOW EVERYTHING WENT DOWN, BUT I JUST WANT TO REMIND FOLKS ABOUT A YEAR AGO, WE WERE TALKING ABOUT HOW MUCH WE LOVED AND TRUSTED THEM. AND NOW HERE WE ARE HAVING TO PUT OUR MONEY WHERE I'M NOT THIS. THANK YOU. COUNCILMAN FOWLER. 
          THANK YOU, MR PRESIDENT, SO I DON'T KNOW WHO CAN ANSWER THIS. UM THE UNDER UNIVERSITY OF AND THE DIGITAL DIGITAL LITERACY TRAINING. IN EACH COUNCIL DISTRICT, SEEING BARRIER REMOVAL THERE AS WELL. SO ARE WE DUPLICATING? UM SERVICES THERE, OR WHAT'S. THANKS FOR THE QUESTION. DR SHARON CARRICK UNIVERSITY OF LOUISVILLE. UM WE'RE NOT DUPLICATING, BRIEF HANDSHAKE AND THIS IS ONE THING YOU CAN FEEL GOOD ABOUT THIS COALITION. ALL OF US DO KNOW EACH OTHER, YOU KNOW, FROM AUNT TO METRO UNITED WAY AND THE COALITION. THE GOOD THING WAS, IT'S STRENGTHENED. WHAT DO WE ALREADY HAVE? THAT WE DON'T HAVE TO DUPLICATE AND REPLICATE THAT WE CAN HANDSHAKE TOO. OUR OTHER COALITION PARTNERS. AND SO WITH THAT SAID, UH, THE 100 TRAIN THE TRAINERS, WHICH CAN HAVE NO DEGREE AT ALL THAT ARE IN ALL THE DISTRICTS. AND I DO HAVE THIS FOR YOU GUYS THAT HOW MANY ARE IN EACH OF YOUR DISTRICTS THAT ARE ALREADY IN THE PROGRAM TO GET TRAINED SO THAT THEY CAN GO OUT AND TRAIN OTHER PEOPLE IN THERE? COMMUNITY IS THAT THE BARRIER REMOVAL IS THAT WE CAN USE RESOURCES THAT WE HAVE EXISTING AND OR OUR PARTNERSHIPS THAT ARE IN THIS COALITION. AND SO WE'VE BEEN DOING THOSE REFERRALS SO THAT WE CAN. IF WE HAVE CHILD CARE, YOU KNOW, WE DON'T HAVE ROOM AT THIS FESTIVAL FOR THAT FACILITY THAT WE CAN YOU KNOW, TALK TO THE URBAN LEAGUE OR WE CAN TALK TO AND ANOTHER ONE OF THE COALITION PARTNERS. SO I SAY THAT THE COALITION HAD THAT'S ONE THING REALLY GOOD IS THAT IT BROUGHT US ALL TOGETHER TO SEE WHAT WE COULD LEVERAGE BUT ALSO WHAT WE COULD AUGMENT IF YOU WILL, IN 
          [00:45:06]
THE OTHER PEOPLE'S TRAINING AND OR SUPPORT AND OR WORKFORCE, UM, PLACEMENT. DID I ANSWER YOUR QUESTION? IT WAS COUNCILOR FOWLER HERE. MY APOLOGIES. I THOUGHT IT WAS SOMEBODY FALL IN LINE. YEAH FOLLOW UP AND COME BACK TO YOU JUST IN TERMS. SO THE OTHER GENTLEMAN WAS EXPLAINING THAT CEO C HAD NO STAY THERE, UM, THAT THAT THEY HAD RESPONSIBILITIES THAT THEY WERE DOING AND THEN WHEN THAT GOES AWAY WELL, ACTUALLY USED Q TESTIFIED EVEN BEFORE THAT WENT AWAY. THERE WAS SOME QUESTION ABOUT WHETHER THEY WERE FULFILLING THOSE DUTIES THAT EFFECTIVELY UM, AND THEN IT LEFT BOTH AT THAT TIME IN AND OUT CONTINUING ON AND MORE FOR THEM TO DO TO PICK UP THE PIECES. I THINK I SAID THAT ACCURATELY. SIMILARLY QUESTION FOR YOU. WHAT THINGS. ARE YOU NOW PICKING UP THAT WE'RE CEO? SEE AND DO YOU HAVE THE FUNDS IF WE PASS IT TODAY TO DO THAT EFFECTIVELY, WE DO. WE'RE PICKING IT UP TO AGAIN IN HANDSHAKE WITH THE OTHER COALITION PARTNERS UNDERSTANDING AGAIN HOW WE CAN LEVERAGE WHAT EACH OTHER HAS, UM AS WELL AS. 
          SUPPORT THE INITIATIVE FOR WORKFORCE AND 26 DISTRICTS. THAT'S REALLY CRITICAL. 
          COUNSELOR DO YOU HAVE A FOLLOW UP? I DID HAVE A FOLLOW UP. BUT IT WAS ABOUT METRO UNITED WAY AND I DON'T KNOW IF WE'RE GOING TO HAVE THEM COME UP AND PRESENT. WE WILL. IF YOU HAVE A FOLLOW UP FOR THEM. DO WE HAVE ANYTHING ELSE FOR MUSICAL CHAIRS AND BRING THEM UP AND DOWN IF WE DON'T NEED TO LEAVE THE CHART, THIS IS THE DEMOGRAPHICS OF WHO'S IN THE PROGRAM, UM, IN WHICH DISTRICTS AND SO ON AND SO FORTH THAT DIDN'T MAKE COPIES OF EVERYTHING. THANK YOU. YEAH YOU SEE THEM HERE? I JUST WANT TO FOLLOW QUICKLY. SO YOU ARE NOT PICKED. YOU DON'T FEEL LIKE ANY OF THE RESPONSIBILITY THAT WAS. BUT IS CALLING. TRANSFER. CAN YOU TURN ON YOUR MIND? CLUE? I JUST SAID THAT REALLY LOUD. I THOUGHT IT WAS ON THERE YOU GO SPEAKING INTO IT. OKAY UM MM. 
          WE'RE PICKING WE'RE PICKING UP THE. PIECES THAT THEY WERE DOING , UM, WITHIN UNIVERSITY OF LOUISVILLE, SO WE'RE NOT ASKING FOR ADDITIONAL FUNDING. WE'RE ASKING FOR THE RESTORED FUNDING AND WE'RE GONNA YOU KNOW, FIGURE OUT HOW WE MANEUVER THAT WITHIN THE UNIVERSITY. SO CAN YOU. 
          COUNCIL WAS HAVE YOU IN THE QUEUE. IS THAT WHAT YOU THOUGHT WAS YOUR QUESTION? THANK YOU. SO CAN I ASK A QUESTION THERE WAS ALSO THE UNIVERSITY UM. THE FOUNDATION HAD LIKE 900,000 IS CAN YOU EXPLAIN WHAT THAT IS? WE HAVE OTHER MONIES THAT WE'RE USING FOR WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT. 
          AND SO WE'RE ABLE TO PULL FROM OTHER FOUNDATION MONEY. IF WE RUN SHORT OF WHAT WE NEED TO DO TO ACCOMPLISH THE GOAL. OKAY BUT WE HAVE TO REQUEST IT. IT'S NOT IN THE ORIGINAL AMERICAN RESCUE FUND PROPOSAL. THE ORIGINAL ONE THERE WAS ASKED IF THERE WAS MATCHING OR, YOU KNOW, COULD THERE BE MATCHING AND SO THAT WAS IN THE ORIGINAL PROPOSAL, BUT WE HAVE TO REQUEST WHEN WE'RE OUT OF MONEY, OR WE HAVE, YOU KNOW. NEED ADDITIONAL RESOURCES. OKAY. THANK YOU. 
          YOU'RE WELCOME. COUNCILMAN WHERE YOU ASKING FOR MENTALLY UNITED? YES, I WAS. JOHNSON, PRESIDENT AND CEO, METRO UNITED WAY JOHN, NEVER DIRECTOR OF ECONOMIC MOBILITY FOR MENTORING, UNITED WAY. THANK YOU. THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE. SO MY QUESTION TO YOU. YOU ALL ARE. BEING CUT BY ALMOST HALF CORRECT. AND UM, I UNDERSTAND THAT YOU HAD ALREADY SUBMITTED APPROXIMATELY 300,000 TO BE REIMBURSED. I DON'T KNOW IF THAT IS INCLUDED IN THE MILLION DOLLARS THAT IS BEING SET ASIDE THAT THE CEO C HAD ALREADY ACCOUNTED FOR OR IF THAT'S GOING TO BE OVER AND ABOVE. AND THAT'S GONNA EVEN PUT YOU ALL SHORTER. UM WOULD INCREASE THE REDUCTION. IT WOULD INCREASE THE OKAY, SO I GUESS I NEED TO UNDERSTAND. FROM SOMEBODY WHY THEY WERE CUT BY 
          [00:50:04]
ALMOST HALF. KIND OF CAN I SEE A CLARIFICATION? CLARIFICATION QUESTION FIRST BEFORE, SO, YOU'RE ARE YOU SAYING THOSE? HE YOU HAVE NOT? RECEIVED YET OR TURNED INTO COC. THE STATEMENTS FOR THAT TO BE REIMBURSED THOSE THINGS TO BE REIMBURSED. THOSE HAVE BEEN SUBMITTED, BUT WE HAVE NOT BEEN REIMBURSED. OKAY SO THAT'S THE POLLOCK. THEY'RE TRYING TO. CONTINUOUS OF THE THINGS THAT CEO C IS GETTING REIMBURSED FOR. DO WE KNOW HOW MUCH OF THAT WILL BE THEIR REIMBURSEMENT TO ME? IN IT. I'VE SEEN TWO OR THREE INVOICES FROM UNITED WAY. THOSE ARE GOING TO BE PART OF THE AUDIT THAT WE'RE DOING. OKAY, SO THEY C E. O. C SUBMITTED A LARGE PACKAGE TO US LAST THURSDAY LAST WEDNESDAY OR THURSDAY. SO WE'VE GOT IT. WE HAVE NOW HAVE ALL THAT INFORMATION AND WE'VE SHARED THAT WITH OUR AUDITORS WILL BE GOING THROUGH THAT INFORMATION WITH THE INDIVIDUAL. BUT THE PEOPLE BEHIND YOU NOT JUST DOWN, BUT ALL OF THEM. THEY DON'T REALLY AT THIS POINT. THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT HAS BEEN TURNED IN. THEY TURNED IT INTO CEO. SEE, BUT THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT CEO C HAS TURNED INTO YOU. IS THAT PROBABLY TRUE BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE EVERYTHING FROM CEO CEO. THEY HAVE UNTIL TOMORROW TO TURN EVERYTHING INTO US. SO NETWORK, OKAY? SO YOU CAN YES. OKAY SO HOW HOW MUCH REIMBURSEMENT DID THEY TURN INTO YOU YESTERDAY? I CAN LOOK THAT UP AND GET THAT TO YOU. ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT CEO SEE THE AMOUNT THAT THE AMOUNT THAT WAS TURNED? IT WAS TURNED IN LAST WEEK. I'LL HAVE TO GET THAT AMOUNT FOR YOU. OKAY BUT YET THEY STILL HAVE UNTIL TOMORROW TO TURN IN MORE REST OF THE REST OF THE INVOICES. CEO C HAS UNTIL THE 17TH TO TURN IN THEIR FINAL. REIMBURSEMENT REQUESTS, OKAY? AND. OKAY SO CAN YOU TELL ME WHY THEY WERE REDUCED BY WAS METRO UNITED WAY REDUCED AND WE WERE PICKING UP THAT PIECE OF PROGRAMS THAT WE WERE REDUCING. ONE WAS A PROGRAM FOR UH, IT WAS CALLED FUN BLACK FOUNDERS. SO WE WERE. WE WERE ELIMINATING THAT PROGRAM. THERE WAS SOME ADDITIONAL INFORMATION THAT WE FELT WE DIDN'T HAVE. AND SO OUR RECOMMENDATION WAS TO REDUCE OR ELIMINATE THAT PROGRAM . THERE WAS ANOTHER PROGRAM THAT WE WERE ELIMINATING. I DON'T HAVE THAT ONE IN FRONT OF ME. 
          WHAT WE WERE TRYING TO DO WAS COME UP WITH WITH 15 MILLION WHAT? WHAT CAN WE FIT INTO THE $15,750,000? SO THAT'S WHY WE WERE LOOKING AT THE PROGRAMS AND LOOKING TO SEE WHAT'S GOING TO SUPPORT. THE AMPED THE WORK THAT AMPS DOING AND SOME OF THE OTHER WORK OF WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT AND SCALE THESE TO MEET THE WORK THAT AMBER'S DOING. SO THAT'S HOW WE CAME UP WITH THESE NUMBERS AS AN ESTIMATE. AND WHY DID WE ADD ELDER SERVE? ELDER SIR WAS A CONTRACT THAT WAS BEING NEGOTIATED ALREADY, BAR CEO SEE, AND THAT WAS A CONTRACT THAT THEY PUT AN RFP OUT, AND WE FELT THAT THAT WAS A BARRIER REMOVAL SERVICE THAT PROVIDED ADULT DAYCARE AND COULD BE BENEFICIAL TO, UH, PERSON SEEKING WORKFORCE OPPORTUNITIES. DIDN'T AMPED PROVIDE ADULT DAYCARE, TOO. I DON'T BELIEVE SO. NO, OKAY. NO ONE ELSE. I DON'T BELIEVE ANYONE ELSE WAS PROVIDING ADULTS ARE THE ONES BEHIND YOU ARE PROVIDING THAT SERVICE ONE WHO WAS NOT WORTH WORKING ON THAT CONTRACT WITH THEM, OKAY? OKAY. I STILL I THINK I'VE GOT ISSUES WITH CUTTING METRO UNITED WAY. UM, THE HAT. EVEN YOU KNOW, ANYWAY FOR THOSE FOR THOSE PROJECTS THAT YOU JUST MENTIONED WERE THEY ALREADY STARTED IN SO WE'RE STOPPING MIDWAY. YEAH. SO THANK YOU. AND I'LL JUST BE A MINUTE. UM SO THE 1.65 MILLION THAT YOU HAVE IN FRONT OF YOU WOULD STILL ALLOW US TO DO TWO OF THE FOUR COMPONENTS THAT WE HAD IN THE GRANT PROPOSAL. IT WOULD CONTINUE FINANCIAL COACHING, WHICH IS A SUPPLEMENT RELATE TO BURY YOUR REMOVAL. BUT IT'S REALLY HELPING WITH INDIVIDUALS GOALS AROUND INCOME EXPENSES, BUDGETING THAT CREDIT BUILDING FINANCIAL ASSETS BECAUSE RESEARCH SHOWS THAT IF YOU CAN BUY AND WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT WITH FINANCIAL COACHING, BARRY REMOVAL AND BENEFIT ACCESS, YOU TAKE PEOPLE MUCH FURTHER DOWN THE PATHWAY OF LONG TERM FINANCIAL STABILITY. SO IT ALLOWS US TO CONTINUE TO DO THAT. IT WOULD ALSO ALLOW US TO SUPPORT A PLATFORM. THAT'S CALLED THE UNITED COMMUNITY, WHICH IS AN ONLINE PLATFORM THAT ALLOWS VERY EFFICIENT REFERRALS AMONG ORGANIZATIONS SO CALLED AGAIN UNITED COMMUNITY. THANK YOU. AND SO THAT THAT ALLOWS US TO MAKE SURE THAT SOME OF THOSE NEEDS OUTSIDE OF DIRECT WORKFORCE, UM ARE TAKEN CARE OF. SO ALL THE THINGS THAT HAVE 
          [00:55:05]
ALREADY BEEN MENTIONED WOULD BE ACCESSIBLE THROUGH THAT HOLISTIC PLATFORM SO WE COULD CONTINUE THOSE SERVICES SAYS MR HILLEBRAND POINTED OUT. WITH THE REDUCTION THAT WE WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO CONTINUE TO SERVICES. ONE IS SUPPORT FOR UNDER REPRESENTED ENTREPRENEURS AND THE REASON WHY THAT IS IMPORTANT TO US IS THAT IT IS A PATHWAY TOWARDS LONG TERM FINANCIAL STABILITY. AND, UM ENTREPRENEURS WHO ARE OF COLOR START OUT WITH MUCH LESS CAPITAL THAN WHITE ENTREPRENEURS. AND SO WE HAVE A CURRENT PARTNER. IT STILL HASN'T BEEN DETERMINED. YOU KNOW, 100% MOVING FORWARD, BUT OUR CURRENT PARTNER, WE ACTUALLY HAVE A SEPARATE INITIATIVE WHERE WE'RE WORKING WITH A GROUP OF 12 FOUNDERS AND BASICALLY WHAT THEY DO IS PROVIDE 14 WEEKS OF COACHING AND INSTRUCTION OF HOW TO BUILD CHAMPIONS IN THE COMMUNITY TO SUPPORT THEIR BUSINESSES. AND SO FAR, SEVEN OF THOSE ENTREPRENEURS HAVE LAUNCHED FUNDRAISING CAMPAIGNS AND HAVE RAISED $82,000 AND WHAT WE'RE DOING FOR A SEPARATE POOL OF MONEY IS MATCHING THOSE DOLLARS THAT ARE RAISED. TO HELP GROW AND LAUNCH AND SUSTAIN THOSE BUSINESSES. SO THAT PIECE WE WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO CONTINUE. THE OTHER PIECE WAS AND ACTUALLY A SMALL DOLLAR AMOUNT, BUT WE FELT LIKE IT WAS REALLY HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO LEVERAGE SOME REAL IMPACT AND THAT WAS WORKING WITH FOUR HEALTHCARE EMPLOYERS AND IMPROVING THE WORKPLACE IS MAKING THEM MORE INCLUSIVE AND INVITING FOR OUR DIVERSE COMMUNITY. SO WE HAD ALREADY CHOSEN FOR EMPLOYERS THROUGH AN APPLICATION PROCESS. WE HAD ALREADY CHOSEN CONSULTANTS TO WORK WITH THEM WE HAD ISSUED, BUT THEY WERE DRAFT CONTRACTS SO THEY HAD NOT BEEN EXECUTED YET. 
          BUT IT WOULD ALLOW US TO WORK WITH THOSE EMPLOYERS, BY THE WAY THEY REPRESENT, UM THOSE IMPORTANT FOR EMPLOYERS, THEIR LOCAL WORKFORCES OVER 8000 INDIVIDUALS, SO WE DO BELIEVE THERE COULD BE REAL IMPACT, WORKING BOTH FROM THE SUPPLY OF TALENT AND LABOR AND WORKFORCE ACCESS IN OUR COMMUNITY AND THEN WORKING FROM THE EMPLOYER PERSPECTIVE OF HOW CAN WE MAKE SURE THAT ONCE THESE INDIVIDUALS ARE PLACED, THEY HAVE EVERY OPPORTUNITY TO BE SUCCESSFUL. 
          BUT THAT'S SOMETHING YOU'RE NOT GONNA BE ABLE TO DO. THAT'S CORRECT WITH THE REDUCED FUNDING. COUNCIL ON PURPOSE. THANK YOU, MR CHAIR, SIR. I DON'T KNOW IF YOU WOULD ANSWER THIS. I DON'T KNOW IF YOU WOULD ANSWER THIS QUESTION OF MR FAMILY WOULD ANSWER THIS QUESTION. I JUST WANTED SOME CLARIFICATION ON. HOW DOES ADULT DAYCARE RELATE TO WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT? YES AND TO ALSO CLARIFY COUNCILMAN FOWLER. WE ORIGINALLY IDENTIFY YOURSELF FOR THE RECORD WHO YOU ARE, BUT TIM FINDLEY CEO. L DESERVE. WE ORIGINALLY WERE APPROACHED TO BE A SUB RECIPIENT. WE WERE TOLD BY CEO C TO GO TO RFP BECAUSE IT WOULD BE EASIER. ORIGINALLY WE WERE A SUB RECIPIENTS. I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE I CLARIFIED THAT TO COUNSELING PURVIS. OUR ROLE IN THIS WE HAVE A LOT OF CAREGIVERS WHO AREN'T ABLE TO WORK BECAUSE THEY HAVE A FRAIL SENIOR SO THEY WOULD BE ABLE TO BRING THAT SENIOR TO ELDERS SERVE, AND THEN WE WOULD IN TURN, SEND THAT CAREGIVER THROUGH THE PROGRAM AND AMPED SO WE WERE GOING TO PROVIDE ADULT DAY FOR THOSE INDIVIDUALS THAT WERE IN NEED OR TO BOAST OF THE WORKFORCE. PRESIDENT WEEKLY. 
          THANK YOU, MR CHAIR. IT SOUNDS A LITTLE TO ME LIKE THE ADMINISTRATION MAY BE DECIDED THE NUMBER WAS 15 MILLION, AND THEN SORT OF BACKED IN LIKE WHAT PROGRAMS COULD WORK WITHIN THAT MONEY, AND IT SEEMS TO ME THAT PERHAPS THE BETTER APPROACH WOULD BE TO ASK THE COALITION MEMBERS IF COUNSELING ARTHURS POINT SORT OF CENTERED AROUND AND IN THE MIDDLE. LIKE WHAT WOULD THE RIGHT AMOUNT BE TO MAKE? WITH THAT AS THE CENTER TO MAKE THE PROGRAM SUCCESSFUL. I DON'T KNOW. MAYBE THIS IS A QUESTION TO THE COALITION MEMBERS BROADLY LIKE DOES IT MAKE SENSE FOR YOU ALL TO GET TOGETHER AND SAY, LIKE, HEY, ACTUALLY TO DO THIS, RIGHT? WE DON'T NEED 15.7 MILLION. WE NEED 16.5 OR 18.2, OR YOU KNOW, 34.5. I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS RIGHT. 
          BUT LIKE DOES THAT MAKE MORE SENSE THAN SORT OF BACKING LIKE IT BECAUSE AGAIN IN CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG, BUT THAT'S SORT OF WHAT I'VE TAKEN AWAY FROM TODAY IS THAT WAS REALLY DECIDED ON THE NUMBER AND THEN SAID, NOW WE NEED TO MAKE THE PROGRAMS FIT INSTEAD OF SAYING, WHAT SHOULD THE PROGRAMS DO? AND WHAT SHOULD THE RIGHT NUMBER B? SO WE CAME UP WITH THAT THE NUMBER OF 50 MILLION WE TOOK THE AMOUNT THAT WAS ALLOCATED TO THE SUB RECIPIENTS FROM CEO C AND THAT'S 
          [01:00:05]
HOW WE CAME UP WITH THAT NUMBER. SO WE KNEW HOW MUCH WAS BEING ALLOCATED BY CEO C TO EACH OF THOSE ORGANIZATIONS, AND THAT'S HOW WE CAME UP WITH A NUMBER. SURE AND YEAH, I'M NOT SUGGESTING THAT NUMBER CAME OUT OF THE AIR. WHAT I'M SUGGESTING, THOUGH, TO USE UH, DAY STATEMENT EARLIER. SOMEBODY WAS THE BUS DRIVER AND YOU'VE REMOVED THE BUS DRIVER, AND THERE'S COST LIKE THAT BUS DRIVER WAS PERFORMING A SERVICE AND THERE'S COST ASSOCIATED WITH THAT SERVICE. AND SO IF WE'VE TAKEN THE BUS DRIVER OUT OF THE EQUATION LIKE SOMEBODY'S GOTTA FILL THAT ROLE, AND THEY'RE PLAYING. BUDGET ASSOCIATED WITH THAT, AND IT MIGHT BE HELPFUL TO KNOW WHAT THAT IS, AND IT IS THAT ENTIRELY COVERED BY THE EXTRA FIVE THAT DAVE TALKED ABOUT, UM OR NOT, AND IF IT IS ENTIRELY THE SUBVERSIVE, IAN CAN . WHY WAS THE UNITED WAY MONEY CUT? THE UNITED MAINLINING THE D ER FOR THE HEALTHCARE COMPANIES. WE FELT THAT THE HEALTHCARE COMPANIES COULD PAY FOR THAT TRAINING THEMSELVES THE SIZE OF THE EMPLOYERS THAT THEY WERE THAT THAT'S SOMETHING THAT THEY COULD COVER. WE FELT LIKE THE SUPPORT FOR UNDERREPRESENTED ENTREPRENEURS WAS NOT DIRECTLY RELATED TO THE WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT THAT WE WERE SEEKING THROUGH THE THROUGH AMPED AND OTHER STUFF. IT'S CERTAINLY WITH SOMETHING THAT WE WERE DOING UNDER CEO SEE? BUT AS WE WERE LOOKING AT REDEFINING THE SCOPE OF THESE PROJECTS, THAT WAS SOMETHING THAT WE THOUGHT COULD COME OUT. THANK YOU. SO I GUESS I DIRECT MY NEXT QUESTION TO DAVE. AND AGAIN. I'M SORRY TO HAVE PEOPLE COME UP AND DOWN. UM, BUT MR CHRISTOPHER, CAN YOU SAY WITH WHAT IS IN THIS PROPOSAL, RIGHT? WHAT NUMBER ONE. WILL THESE PROGRAMS BE SUCCESSFUL AND NUMBER TWO? HOW MANY PEOPLE WILL BE SERVED? AND IS THERE A GAP SOMEWHERE IN IN WHAT'S BEEN CUT THAT PUTS THE PROGRAM AT RISK. WELL I WOULDN'T SAY THE PROGRAM IS AT RISK. IT CAN BE DONE WITH FOR LESS WITH LESS IMPACT OR LESS NUMBERS NUMBER OF PEOPLE. SO WITH THE 15.1 MILLION WAS WE STAY AT 340 40 PEOPLE TRAINED. UM AND THEN, UM, WHAT WAS IT LIKE 200? YOU SEE THAT? LIKE 202 107 INCHES 278 PLACED RIGHT SO THE PROGRAM CAN STILL WORK BUT TO GET THE FULL EFFECT OF THE PROGRAM AND TO GET WHAT THE EMPLOYERS NEED AND TO GET THAT UP ON MOBILITY IN THE IN THE IN THE WORKFORCE AND GET THEM NOT JUST JUST AN ENTRY LEVEL JOB AND STUCK IN AN ENTRY LEVEL JOB TO GET THEM FURTHER IN TIME. ALSO AGAIN WHEN WE LOOK AT YOU KNOW THE FACT THAT WE WENT TO AN IMMERSIVE MODEL THAT WE'VE ALREADY DONE. SO WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE WAY WE DID IT BEFORE IN 2017, AND WE'VE GOT FOLKS WITH HIGH SCHOOL DIPLOMAS AND G D S JOBS PAID STARTED $65,000 A YEAR IN DATA ALEX AND DATA SCIENCE. THAT'S A THAT'S A HUGE THING. THAT'S A BIG DEAL. AND SO WE WERE. SO IF WE'RE GONNA WE'RE GONNA ASK OUR EMPLOYEES TO COMMIT TO DOING THIS LONG TERM BECAUSE THIS IS NOT A SHORT TERM THING. WE'RE LOOKING AT THIS BEING A MODEL THAT JUST CONTINUES ON FOR YEARS IS THAT WE'RE GONNA GET OUR EMPLOYERS AND TECHNOLOGY HEALTHIER COMPANIES INVOLVED. THEN WE NEED TO MAKE SURE THEY UNDERSTAND THAT WE'RE GIVING THEM QUALITY WORKERS AND WHAT WE TELL THEM ALSO IS THAT WHEN THEY GET INTO THE WORKFORCE FOR THOSE FOLKS, RIGHT, AND THEY GET THOSE SEGREGATION BEIT PARA B I OR SEQUEL OR WHATEVER IT IS THAT WHEN THAT PERSON IS READY WHEN YOU'RE READY TO ADVANCE THAT PERSON TO ANOTHER POSITION THAT PERSON GETS TO COME BACK TO AND GET ANOTHER CERTIFICATION AND THEY CAN WE CAN CONTINUE. OUR WHOLE GOAL IS TO GET THEM AS HIGH. WE GET THEM. AS FURTHER ALONG AS WE CAN POSSIBLY GET THEM TO BRING MONEY INTO THE COMMUNITY TO GET THESE FOLKS OUT OF POVERTY BECAUSE WE'RE DEALING WITH UNDER UNDER UNDER EMPLOYED AND UNEMPLOYED FOLKS, SO THE PROGRAM WILL STILL WORK, BUT IT CAN BE ITS MOST EFFECTIVE AT THE 15.1 AND I AGREE WITH COUNSEL WINKLER, WHICH YOU SAID WAS THAT WHAT SHOULD HAVE HAPPENED IS WHAT DOES IT TAKE TO RECTIFY THE DAMAGE DONE BY THE PULLING OF THE MONEY FROM THE C E. O C. AND THEN HOW DO WE EFFECTIVELY CREATE THIS PROGRAM? BECAUSE THERE WOULD BE DISCOVERY, RIGHT? THERE WOULD BE THINGS WE FOUND OUT THAT WE DIDN'T HAVE OUR HANDS ON BECAUSE THAT WAS BEING DONE WITH SOMETHING BY SOMEBODY ELSE, AND NOW IT'S HANDED OVER TO US, AND WE DISCOVERED SOME THINGS RIGHT AND THOSE THINGS ARE THINGS WE HAVE TO NOW MITIGATE BECAUSE WE DON'T WANT TO SLOW DOWN BECAUSE WE NEVER STOPPED THE TRAINING. THE ONE THING I WANT TO POINT OUT JUST IN TERMS OF THE MONEY AND WHERE IT PUTS US AS AN ORGANIZATION. 
          WE? WE GOT A $4 MILLION LINE OF CREDIT TO BE ABLE TO FOCUS THE FRONT LOADED THIS PROGRAM AND WE'RE SPENDING THAT MONEY AND WE'RE PAYING INTEREST ON THEIR MONEY. AND SO THIS WHOLE THING AND DELAY THIS IS COSTING US MONEY. WE'RE NOT A YOU KNOW, AN ORGANIZATION HAS GOT MONEY JUST COMING OUT OF THIS COMING OUT OF NOWHERE. WE'RE WE'RE IN. WE'RE IN THE COMMUNITY TRYING TO MAKE IT WORK, SCRAMBLING AND FIGHTING EVERY DAY AND HERE WE ARE TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO GET THAT. 
          I'M GOING TO SAY THAT TO ME AGAINST US, BUT IT JUST FEELS LIKE THAT. WHEN THAT 15 THAT'S 7 15,750,000. DIDN'T EVEN MAKE SENSE. LIKE THEY IT WAS $24 MILLION OUT THERE THAT WAS PULLED BACK. HOW DID THAT SUDDENLY DISAPPEARED FORS? BECAUSE NOW WE HAVE TO MAKE UP 
          [01:05:03]
FOR THE LOSSES THAT WE HAD WHEN COC WAS TAKEN OUT OF THE PICTURE. SO I DON'T KNOW. 
          HOPEFULLY THAT ANSWERS THE QUESTION COUNSELOR WEEKLY MATE. AND I KNOW, UH, I DON'T GET TO DO THIS. I DON'T GUESS, BUT UNDER THE ARMY WANTS TO SPEAK SO IF I CAN OFFER YOU MY TIME. YEAH THANK YOU. DAVID I'M I'M SORRY. I MISSED A LITTLE BIT OF THAT. MY BATTERY DIED. AND SO I HAD TO SWITCH DEVICES. SO APOLOGIES, BUT I GUESS THE ONE FAULT QUESTION I WOULD ASK THEM IS WOULD YOU HAVE IT? IF YOU WEREN'T CONSTRAINED BY THE 15? WOULD YOU HAVE A DIFFERENT PROPOSAL WITH THE COALITION PARTNERS? SAY IT AGAIN. I'M SORRY. IF YOU WEREN'T CONSTRAINED BY THE 15.7 FROM THE ADMINISTRATION, WOULD YOU AND THE COLLISION COALITION PARTNERS HAVE A DIFFERENT PROPOSAL? YES I MEAN, WE ACTUALLY SUBMITTED. WE ALL SUBMITTED NEW PROPOSALS TO THE TO THE TO THE CITY. WE GAVE THEM THE NUMBERS THAT WE NEEDED. I MEAN, AND I ASSUME THAT YOU GUYS HAD THOSE THAT SO WE GAVE. WE GAVE DIFFERENT PROPOSALS TO THE CITY. THAT WAS THE EMAIL THAT COULD TOURIST SENT TO YOU ON TUESDAY EARLIER TODAY. THANK YOU. OKAY WE WERE ASKED US TO DO A ONE PAGE PROPOSAL ONE PAGE ON EACH EACH ONE. SO WE CAN GET YOU THE FULL PROPOSAL FROM THEM. IF THAT'S WHAT YOU WOULD LIKE TO SEE. BUT ARE ARE THESE WHAT IS YES, FORWARD OR IS THIS THEIR PROPOSAL THAT THEY CAME UP WITH? THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT THE PROPOSALS SQUARE. THAT'S THE PROPOSAL THAT WE ASKED. EACH OF THE SUB RECIPIENTS GIVE US A PROPOSAL WITHOUT CEO, SEE AND WHAT YOU NEED TO DO SO THE PROPOSAL FROM AMPED WAS 15,114,000. RIGHT AND THEN IT'S AN EIGHT OF THE SUB RECIPIENTS THAT ARE HERE TONIGHT. YOU SHOULD HAVE THOSE PROPOSALS FROM EACH OF THEM WITHIN IT. AT THE BOTTOM OF THAT PAGE IS THEIR AMOUNT. RIGHT THAT'S CORRECT, AND THOSE PROPOSALS CAME FROM THE SUB RECIPIENTS. WE DISTILLED IT DOWN TO A ONE PAGE PER PER THE REQUEST THAT WE HAD FROM THE COUNCIL AND THAT'S WHAT WAS SENT TO YOU BELIEVE ON TUESDAY. OKAY SO I'M STILL CONFUSED IF THIS IS THEIR PROPOSAL AND WHAT YOU'RE ASKING FOR HERE, THE DIFFERENCE UM, THE ORIGINAL AMOUNT FROM THE C E O. C FOR AMPED WAS 9,000,003 19 308 THAT'S CORRECT. AND THEN THE RECOMMENDED AMOUNT WAS 11,000,091 150. THAT'S CORRECT, BUT THE REQUESTED AMOUNT ON THE NEW PROPOSAL. SO AND I HEARING YOU SAY MR CHRISTOPHER THAT THAT THIS IS, IN FACT, WHAT WE'RE GOING FORWARD WITH IS YOUR NEW PROPOSAL. THAT IS OUR REQUEST THAT WE THAT WE GET TO 15.1 MILLION AND THEN AGAIN, WE WANT TO ALSO SUGGESTED THE SEVERAL PARTNERS GET THE REQUESTED AMOUNT THEY GOT BECAUSE AFTER AFTER LOOKING AT WHAT IF YOU WILL, WHAT HAPPENED AFTER COC IS POURED? THESE ARE THE NUMBERS WE CAME UP WITH, BECAUSE THAT SO WHEN YOU WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE 11.1 THAT WAS BASED ON THE QUESTION THAT THE ACCELERATED TEAM ASKED US AND WE ANSWERED THAT QUESTION. IT WAS VERY SIMPLE QUESTION. IT DID NOT ASK US WHAT IS REQUIRED FOR US TO MAKE THIS PROGRAM WORK AS EFFECTIVELY AS WE NEEDED TO WORK RIGHT AND WHAT THAT NUMBER IS. 
          SO WE ANSWERED THAT QUESTION, AND THE QUESTION IS A VERY LIMITED QUESTION. AND SO THAT'S HOW THEY GOT TO THE 11.1. BUT IF YOU ASK THIS, THE MORE DETAILED QUESTION THEN THE ANSWER IS 15.1 MILLION. AND WE'VE GOT THAT BROKEN DOWN HERE EXACTLY BECAUSE SOMETHING LIKE 54% OF THE MONEY THAT WE THAT WE HAVE OF THIS PROGRAM ACTUALLY GOES DIRECTLY TO THE PARTICIPANTS. HOW MUCH 74 54% OF 54. OKAY WE HAVE A VERY DETAILED, YOU KNOW, BREAKDOWN OF HOW THAT WORKS. WE LOOKED AT, LIKE SALT AND SOFTWARE THAT ADDITIONAL SOFTWARE WE NEED ADDITIONAL TRAININGS THAT WE NEED THAT THE FACT THAT WE'RE GONNA PAY THESE FOLKS $15 AN HOUR FOR 40 HOURS A WEEK AND IMMERSIVE TRAINING THAT THAT THAT THE EMPLOYER C IS VALUABLE RIGHT THAT THEY CAN THEN BE WITH CONFIDENCE. TAKE THESE FOLKS. WOMEN'S GOOD LOOKING INTO THE FUTURE OF IT. WE WANT TO BE RECOGNIZED AS AN ORGANIZATION THAT YOU CAN GET VALUABLE. UM WHAT WE CALL NONTRADITIONAL EMPLOYEES BECAUSE TYPICALLY, TECHNOLOGY ASKED FOR A FOUR YEAR COLLEGE DEGREE AND 46 YEARS EXPERIENCE. WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO OUR RELATIONSHIPS TO GET COMPANIES TO TAKE FOLKS WITH NO DEGREE AND IN SOME CASES, G D S AND GIVE THEM THESE JOBS TO PAY AT OR ABOVE A LIVING WAGE. WE'VE DONE THAT THAT WORKS AND WE NEED OUR PARTNERS BECAUSE THEY ARE THE ONES THAT DON'T DO THOSE BARRIER MOVIES AND ALL THOSE OTHER THINGS. SO IT IN ADDITION TO WHAT WE ASKED FOR. WE ALSO ASKED THAT THEY RECEIVED WHAT THEY'RE ASKING FOR. OKAY THANKS. THANK YOU FOR THAT EXPLANATION. 
          I APPRECIATE COUNCILMAN ARTHUR. QUESTION FOR KEN WENT BACK AND LOOKED AT THE ORDINANCE FROM 
          [01:10:04]
LAST YEAR. AND IT APPEARS THE PROPOSALS THAT WE TALKED ABOUT AND CAME TO AN AGREEMENT ON WEREN'T ATTACHED TO THE ACTUAL LEGISLATION. WOULD YOU BE OPEN TO THAT BEING ATTACHED TO THE RECORD NOW? THE PROPOSALS FOR THE SUB RECIPIENTS SO I DON'T THINK CEO. SEE WE DID NOT. THE LOCAL ACCELERATOR TEAM DID NOT HAVE THOSE PROPOSALS SO WE DIDN'T GET THE FULL PROPOSALS UNTIL AFTER THE COUNCIL HAD PASSED THAT I THINK WHAT THE CEO C PROVIDED TO THE COUNCIL WAS UH , I'D HAVE TO GO BACK AND LOOK AT THE RECORD, BUT WE DIDN'T HAVE FULL PROPOSALS FROM CEO. 
          SEE UNTIL PROBABLY THE END OF DECEMBER 1ST OF JANUARY. UNDERSTOOD WHAT WE DID HAVE SOME VERY LIMITED DOCUMENTATION. JUST GIVING US AN IDEA AN OVERVIEW OF WHAT THEY WANTED TO DO. BUT FOR THESE PURPOSES, I'M JUST ASKING. WOULD YOU FEEL COMFORTABLE TAKING THE PROPOSALS THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT RIGHT NOW AND PUTTING THEM IN THE RECORD? BECAUSE I'VE SEEN INFORMATION LIBRARIES AND SEE THE INFORMATION ABOUT THE DIFFERENT MEANINGS FOR PARKS, BUT I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE REACTED THE INFORMATION. WE THOUGHT YOU WERE GOING TO ADD THEM TO THE RECORD FOR THE COMMITTEE. SO WE REDACTED PERSONALLY THAT IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION FROM THE PROPOSALS THAT WERE SENT TO YOU. THANK YOU. YES. WHILE YOU'RE THERE, SO THE DIFFERENCE WHEN COUNCILWOMAN FOWLER IS TALKING ABOUT THE PROPOSALS THAT THE FOLKS BACK THE AGENCY'S BEHIND YOU GAVE THESE PROPOSALS WE FUNDED IT. YOU ELECTED PROPOSALS, MADE THE CALL AND THEN FUNDED IT AT A DIFFERENT LEVEL. THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THAT IS ABOUT $10 MILLION. IS THAT CORRECT? THAT'S ABOUT RIGHT ? YES LITTLE BIT. LITTLE CHARLOTTE. I THOUGHT ABOUT ME. 
          YEAH, OKAY. PRESIDENT LINCOLN'S WINKLER. YEAH THANK YOU. I THINK YOU JUST ANSWER MY QUESTIONS OR ASK THE SAME QUESTION BECAUSE I THINK THEIR PROPOSALS ADD UP TO THE 24. I THINK THIS IS PROBABLY THE NUMBER YOU WERE USING. COUNCILMAN BLACKWELL IS THE 24 8. AH 88 7 49 24,888,749 IS THE. 
          YES SO IF WE WERE TO CONTEMPLATE FUNDING THEIR PROPOSALS IN FULL, WE WOULD NEED TO REDUCE THE OTHER ALLOCATION BY THE CORRESPONDING 9 MILLION AND CHANGE. CORRECT. THANK YOU. 
          COUNCILMAN HAWKINS. YOU'RE A MUTE. OKAY SO I JUST WANTED TO ASK SO WITHOUT THE ENTITIES, ARE THEY ARE THEY STILL A PACKAGE DEAL, OR IS IT EACH ONE SEPARATE? RIGHT NOW, EACH ONE AS WE WHEN WE REQUESTED THE PROPOSALS, WE REQUESTED THEM ALL SEPARATELY. SO THAT WE COULD LOOK AT IT AS WE BEGIN. NEGOTIATIONS WILL LOOK AND SEE IF THERE'S SOMETHING YOU KNOW. 
          FOR INSTANCE, WE COULD SAY, LET'S HAVE ONE OF THE VENDORS BE A SUB RECIPIENT OF AMPED AFTER THIS GOES THROUGH, WE'LL HAVE TO DO THAT NEGOTIATION WITH THEM. BUT RIGHT NOW THEY'RE ALL STAND ALONE. OKAY AND WHAT'S YOUR NAME ? AND WHO DO YOU REPRESENT? MY NAME IS KEN HILLEBRAND. I'M THE DIRECTOR OF THE GLOBAL ACCELERATOR TEAM WITH THE OFFICE OF MANAGEMENT AND BUDGET. OKAY SO ARE YOU THE SAME ACCELERATED TEAM GUY THAT WAS OVER THE OTHER WHEN SO? SO YOU'RE OVERSEEING THIS? I'M JUST TRYING TO MAKE SURE I'M PUTTING FACE WITH THE NAME COUNSELOR. MY TEAM, SO I HAVE A TEAM OF PROJECT MANAGERS THAT WE DO THE ADMINISTRATIVE PROJECT MANAGEMENT FOR ALL OF THE AMERICAN RESCUE PLAN PROJECTS SO THAT 75 PROJECTS RIGHT NOW. SO WHAT? YOU SO WERE YOU A PART OF THIS BEFORE THEY TOOK THE THESE FUNDS BACK. WHAT DID YOU JUST GET BROUGHT INTO CANADA? TELL ME WHAT YOU MEAN ABOUT WAS THAT PART OF WHAT OKAY , SO BEFORE WE GET THIS MONEY BACK, RIGHT? WHAT YOU A PART OF THE PROJECT WHEN IT FIRST GOT INITIATED APART WITH THE GLOBAL ACCELERATOR TEAM SINCE MAY OF 2020 OKAY, SO WHAT WAS YOUR ROLE? UM, WITH WITH THESE DIFFERENT ENTITIES SO AFTER THE COUNCIL PASSED THE ORDINANCE LAST YEAR, IT WAS ACTUALLY DECEMBER 1ST 2022. WE STARTED WORKING WITH THE C E. O C TO NEGOTIATE THE CONTRACTS. SO THE GUARD NEGOTIATE THE AGREEMENTS, AND IT TOOK ABOUT THREE MONTHS TO NEGOTIATE THE AGREEMENTS AND WE SIGNED THOSE PROBABLY THE END OF MARCH OF THIS YEAR. AND EACH OF THOSE CONTAINED WE KNEW THAT EACH OF THEM CONTAINS SUB RECIPIENTS AND C E. O. C WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR WORKING WITH 
          [01:15:01]
EACH OF THE SUB RECIPIENTS THAT THEY WERE WORKING WITH, SO THEY WOULD STAY WOULD SEND INFORMATION TO US OR PERIODICALLY. THEY MAY BE INCLUDED IN THE MEETING, BUT MOST OF OUR MEETINGS AND INTERACTIONS WE'RE WITH THE CEO SEE AS THE PRIMARY SUB RECIPIENT . WE DID WORK WITH RUSSELL OR AMPED, UH MORE FREQUENTLY, ALSO BECAUSE OF THE TYPE OF WORK THAT THEY WERE DOING, AND THEY, UM, KIND OF A LARGER PROJECT. OKAY? THANK YOU. WELCOME DON'T HAVE, UM I DON'T SEE YOU MIND TWICE. WOULD YOU LIKE TO BE IN THE QUEUE CLEARLY SEE, YOU KNOW WHAT I MIGHT NEED TO DO IS REFRESH THIS. I'VE BEEN SITTING HERE A LONG TIME. LET'S SEE IF MAGICALLY YOU APPEAR IN THE QUEUE. ALONG WITH 30. OTHER PEOPLE, PROBABLY. YOU. DO I SEE YOU TWICE, ACTUALLY. SORRY. THANK YOU. IT'S SUPPOSED TO AUTOMATICALLY UPDATE. SO LISTEN. 
          I UNDERSTAND WHERE THIS IS SAUSAGE MAKING RIGHT IN AND WE'RE DOING IT RELATIVELY QUICKLY AND WHAT WE DO IN GOVERNMENT IS WE DETERMINE WHAT OUR PRIORITIES ARE, PARTICULARLY IN HOW WE SPEND MONEY SO BUT SIMILARLY TO WHAT PRESIDENT WINKLER WAS SAYING. WHATEVER THE NUMBER IS WHETHER IT'S AT THE END OF THE DAY, 24 MILLION OR 15 7 OR WHATEVER THE NUMBER ENDS UP BEING I HAVE TO SAY I WAS A LITTLE BIT CONCERNED IN THE SENSE THAT I DON'T FEEL NECESSARILY BECAUSE THE SUB RECIPIENTS WERE NOT INVOLVED IN THE CONVERSATION IN DETERMINING WHAT THE NUMBER WAS. AND THEN WE'RE THEN SHOEHORNING THEIR SERVICES INTO THAT 15.7 MILLION. 
          I'M JUST CONCERNED THAT WE MAY BE. I'M CONCERNED THAT THE THAT THE THAT THE APPROPRIATION TO EACH INDIVIDUAL PROGRAM RIGHT TO MAKE SURE THAT EACH ONE IS EFFECTIVE MIGHT NOT BE MATCHED UP. IF THAT MAKES SENSE, WHATEVER THAT NUMBER ENDS UP BEING RIGHT, SO I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT AGAIN, WHATEVER THE NUMBER ENDS UP BEING THAT WE'RE SURE THAT WITH THAT NUMBER IN PLACE THAT EACH OF THE PROGRAMS THAT WE'RE FUNDING CAN BE SUCCESSFUL, AND I DON'T KNOW IF THAT MEANS THAT THERE NEEDS TO BE MORE COMMUNICATION BETWEEN THE ADMINISTRATION AND THE SUBURBS RECIPIENTS. OR NOT, BUT IF THE ADMINISTRATION WANTS TO SAY HERE'S THE NUMBER AND WORK BACKWARDS THEN I THINK THERE NEEDS I DO. I THINK THERE NEEDS TO BE MORE CONVERSATION BETWEEN THE SUB RECIPIENTS IN THE ADMINISTRATION AT THAT POINT TO SAY, OKAY, LET'S MAKE SURE THAT WITHIN THAT PIE THAT ALL OF THE. PROGRAMS THAT WE'RE FUNDING CAN BE SUCCESSFUL. SO I'M WONDERING IF WE COULD CONSIDER THE PROPOSALS THAT THE SUB RECIPIENTS SENT TO US A STARTING PLACE FOR THAT, WHILE IT'S OVER THE 15 MILLION, IT'S AT 24,880,000. YOU KNOW, AS I STILL THINK THERE'S SOME WORK WE NEED TO DO WITH THAT NUMBER. WE WANT TO SCALE THOSE PROPOSALS TO WHAT WE'RE DOING WITH AMPED. UM SO THAT'S KIND OF WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT WITH. EACH OF THOSE PROPOSALS IS, HOW WOULD WE SCALE THAT TO WORK WITH AN HOW WOULD WE SCALE THE BARRIER REMOVAL SERVICES TO COINCIDE WITH THE FOLKS GOING THROUGH THE WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT TRAINING AT A END, SO THOSE ARE SOME DETAILS THAT WE WOULD NEED TO WORK OUT? WHAT DO YOU DO THE NEGOTIATION AND AGAIN I WANT TO MAKE IT CLEAR THAT YOU KNOW, SPLITTING THE 40 MILLION UP THE WAY YOU GUYS DID. I'M NOT SAYING IT'S RIGHT OR WRONG AGAIN. IT'S JUST PRIORITIZING DIFFERENT THINGS THAT ARE ALL IMPORTANT. UM SO I'M NOT NECESSARILY QUESTIONING HOW IS INITIALLY DIVVIED UP. I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WHATEVER WE END UP WITH IS SUCCESSFUL AND MATCHES UP FOR THE PROGRAM. SO WHAT'S WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IS WHEN THE COUNCIL DECIDES ON THE AMOUNT WE WOULD WORK WITH EACH OF THE SUB RECIPIENTS AND GO START DEVELOPING AN AGREEMENT WITH THEM ON AND GETTING INTO MORE OF THE DETAILS HOW THEY WOULD EXECUTE THAT IF THEY NEED OTHER SUB RECIPIENTS. WITH THE TIME FRAME WOULD BE ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE WANT TO LOOK AT IS. CAN WE GET THAT AGREEMENT SIGNED PRETTY SOON THE U. S. TREASURY DID ON A PAUL TODAY CONFIRMED THAT THE OBLIGATION DEADLINE IS STILL DECEMBER. 31ST 2024. WE CAN CERTAINLY HAVE THOSE AGREEMENTS SIGNED. I THINK YOU KNOW, ONCE IT'S PASSED, IT WOULD PROBABLY JUST BE A FEW WEEKS, MAYBE A MONTH TO GET THAT. GET THAT DONE. THAT'S PRETTY. THAT'S PRETTY AN ACCELERATED SCHEDULE, BUT THAT'S SOMETHING WE MIGHT BE ABLE TO DO SO THEN THEY WOULD BE ABLE TO START THE WORK PROBABLY AND SOME OF THEM ARE STILL DOING THE WORK BECAUSE WE DIDN'T WANT TO DISCONTINUE THE WORK THAT THEY WERE DOING ALREADY IN THE COMMUNITY. THERE'S OVER 200 PEOPLE THAT ARE THAT ARE IN TRAINING AND COACHING, RECEIVING TRAINING AND COACHING SERVICES RIGHT NOW. JUST HEARD THAT I'VE HEARD IT. A NUMBER OF TIMES, BUT REMIND ME THE MONEY HAS TO BE SPENT BY DECEMBER 31ST OF 24, OR 
          [01:20:05]
THE MONEY HAS ALLOCATED, ALLOCATED OR OBLIGATED THE TERM THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT USES OBLIGATED BY DECEMBER 31ST 2024 AND COMPLETELY SPENT BY DECEMBER 31ST 2026 ANY MONEY THAT'S NOT OBLIGATED. ABOUT 2020 DECEMBER 31ST 2024 WE SEND BACK TO THE U. S. TREASURY ANY MONEY THAT'S NOT SPENT BY DECEMBER 31ST 2026. WE HAVE TO RETURN TO THE OBLIGATED. WE MEAN WE HAVE CLEARLY IDENTIFIED WHO THE SPENDING THE MONEY ON CONTRACT FOR A SERVICE. IT'S A IT'S A SUB AWARD, SO IT COULD BE A SUB RECIPIENT AWARD THAT WE DO SO LET'S SAY WE EXECUTE A SUB RECIPIENT AGREEMENT SUB AWARD AGREEMENT WITH ONE OF THE SUB RECIPIENTS. THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT CONSIDERS THAT TO BE OBLIGATED AT THE TIME WE NEGOTIATE THAT THAT WAS THAT. DECISION WAS MADE THIS WEEK BY THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT. THEY HAVE A DISCUSSION OR OPEN DISCUSSION PERIOD FOR 30 DAYS, AND THEN IT WILL BE RULE A RULE. SO WE'VE KIND OF KNOWN THAT WAS COMING. SO THAT'S SOMETHING THAT'S IN OUR FAVOR RIGHT NOW. THANKS AGAIN, SO WHILE YOU'RE THERE. SO THE CEO I'M ASSUMING THAT THE CEO SEE EITHER. WHEN WE CONTRACTED WITH THEM BELIEVE THAT THEY UNDERSTOOD AND KNEW THEY SO THEY KNEW THE REACH THAT WE WERE TRYING TO DO, AND THEN THEY SUBCONTRACTED WITH INDIVIDUAL FOLKS WHO COULD MAKE THOSE THINGS HAPPEN. SO YOU GUYS AT THAT POINT WEREN'T IN THE WEEDS AS MUCH AS YOU ARE RIGHT NOW. IS THAT A FAIR STATEMENT THEY WOULD SEND US THE SUB RECIPIENT AGREEMENTS OR TELL US WHAT WAS GOING ON, SON. JUST DATA WE WOULD ASK FOR GETTING UPDATES IN THE WEEDS LIKE YOU ARE NOW, UM AND NOW IS IT FAIR TO SAY THAT WE ARE SHIFTING? SO WHO'S TAKEN SO HAS AMPED TAKING ON THAT COORDINATION ROLE, OR YOU TAKING ON THAT COORDINATION ROLE WILL BE TAKING ON SOME OF THE COORDINATION ROLE. THERE ARE SOME THAT WE THINK WOULD BE INDEPENDENT, BUT THERE ARE SOME AS WE BEGIN THE NEGOTIATIONS. WE MAY SAY I HAVEN'T EVEN TALKED TO DAVE ABOUT THIS YET IS MAYBE IT MAKES SENSE FOR AMPED TO BE THE UMBRELLA FOR A COUPLE OF THOSE SUB RECIPIENT AWARDS, ESPECIALLY IF THEY HAVE A COMPLIANCE PERSON ON STAFF. THAT MIGHT BE AND I HAVE TO LOOK AT DAVE THINKING OF THAT, DAVE OR OKAY, HE'S SAYING HE WAS THINKING OF THAT, SO THAT'S KIND OF WHAT WE WOULD WORK WITH THEM ON DURING THE NEGOTIATIONS, SO I UNDERSTAND WE SO WE STARTED WITH KIND OF STARTED WITH A NUMBER AND THEN WE WERE KIND OF AND THEN WE ASK FOR THEIR PROPOSALS. THEIR INDIVIDUAL PROPOSALS WITH DID THEY HAVE ANY TIME TO WORK? I HEARD, UM, PARDON AFRICA. THE DOCTOR SAYING FROM YOU TALKED ABOUT THE COORDINATION OR COLLABORATION DO THEY HAVE TIME TO WORK? LIKE IN A COORDINATED WAY ON THOSE OVER THOSE JUST STRICTLY INDIVIDUAL. I'M TELLING YOU WHAT YOU'RE UNITED. WE COULD DO. I'M TELLING YOU WHAT? YEAH, AS FAR AS I KNOW THEY WERE INDIVIDUAL, BUT I KNOW THEY WERE ALSO WORKING WITH EACH OTHER TALKING TO EACH OTHER. I DON'T KNOW THE EXTENT OF THAT. I THINK THAT THAT MAY HAVE BEEN A BIT OF COUNSELOR. NOT ONE TO IT FEELS LIKE JUST HEARING THAT TODAY. IT FEELS LIKE THAT WAS MAYBE A MISSING PIECE THAT AND AGAIN. I'M NOT BLAMING YOU WERE TRYING TO DO SOMETHING, BUT THIS WAS NOT OPTIMAL TO BEGIN WITH, BUT IT FEELS LIKE MAYBE THAT'S A PIECE THAT MIGHT BE MISSING IN THE PROCESS IS HAVING THAT COORDINATING, YOU KNOW WE CAN DO . OUR GROUP CAN DO THIS AND YOU CAN DO THIS AND WHO BUT BUT OH, MY NO ONE'S PICKING UP THIS PIECE, AND I THINK THAT'S COUNCILMAN'S CONCERN IS THAT WE NOT HAVE ANY OMAR'S WHO'S SPEAKING UP THIS AT THE END OF THE DAY. COUNCILMAN SORRY QUESTIONS QUESTIONS. SO THE QUESTION WAS. WHERE ARE WE COORDINATED? WE WERE WE WERE ALREADY SO THIS WHOLE THING STARTED SOME YEARS AGO WHEN WE WERE DOING THE BUILD BACK BETTER REGIONAL CHALLENGE AND THAT THAT THAT FEDERAL GRANT AND SO WE'VE ALWAYS BEEN WORKING TOGETHER, SO WE WERE BEFORE THE CELEBRATED WHEN WE WERE TRYING TO COME TOGETHER WITH THE PROBE, THE PLAN OR WHATEVER ALL OF THESE PARTNERS WERE TOGETHER. SO WHEN YOU ASK THE QUESTION, IS THIS A PACKAGE DEAL? I THINK WHEN THE CONGRESSMAN CONGRESSMAN, CONGRESSMAN HAWKINS ASKED THAT QUESTION YES, WE CAME TOGETHER BECAUSE WE NEEDED ALL OF THESE PIECES AND PARTS, SO WE'VE BEEN HAVING CONVERSATIONS EVEN AFTER THE MONEY WAS REMOVED FROM COC. 
          WE SAT DOWN AND WE TALKED AGAIN ABOUT LIKE, HOW DO WE NEED TO? HOW DO WE NEED TO COME TOGETHER TO MOVE THIS FORWARD? SO WE WERE COALITION WITHIN THE COALITION OPERATING US TALKING TO EACH OTHER BECAUSE WE NEEDED EACH OTHER PEOPLE JUST PIECES AND PARTS STILL COALITION EVEN WITHOUT THE BUS TRAVEL QUICKLY JUMP BACK IN ON THAT CERTAINLY. I APPRECIATE THAT, BUT I HAVE TO SAY AND MAYBE I DIDN'T HEAR IT RIGHT. BUT AT ONE POINT DURING YOUR TESTIMONY, I THOUGHT YOU SAID THAT THE ADMINISTRATION LEFT YOU GUYS SCRAMBLING FIGHTING FOR THE REMAINING 15.7. 
          [01:25:03]
WHEN I MEANT WAS SOUND TO ME LIKE COORDINATION. NO, NO, LOOK AT WHAT THAT MEANT WAS THAT'S HOW IT FELT TO US AS THE GROUP. AS AS THE COALITION THEY 15,000,007 AND 50,000 IN THE MIDDLE AND SAY ALL OF YOU GUYS FIGHT FOR IT. THAT'S HOW IT FELT TO US. WE WERE WE WERE THAT'S WE GOT TOGETHER AND TALKED ABOUT WHAT WE NEEDED TO DO. BUT THEN THE MINISTRATIONS SAID, OKAY, HERE'S 15,000,007 AND 50,000 BATTLE FOR IT. THAT'S HOW IT FELT US. THAT'S NOT WHAT WE'RE NOT SAYING THAT WE WERE FIGHTING EACH OTHER. WE WERE NOT WE WERE COORDINATED. WE WERE SITTING AT A GAME TOGETHER AND SAID, WHAT IS IT? WE NEED TO MOVE FORWARD. SO YOU ARE SPEAKING MORE TOWARD NOT NOT COORDINATION BETWEEN THE GROUPS BETWEEN SUBMARINES, BUT COORDINATION BETWEEN THE ADMINISTRATION AND YOU KNOW WE MET. WE WERE NEVER FAIR ENOUGH. I DIDN'T I DIDN'T YEAH, THANK YOU. THAT'S WHY I STEPPED BACK UP TO SAY THAT. THAT'S NOT THE CASE THAT WE WERE ALWAYS TOGETHER. THANK YOU. COUNCILOR HUDSON. THANK YOU. CHAIR TO MY COLLEAGUE, COUNCILMAN OR WINS POINT, WHICH WAS WELL MADE IN MUCH MORE ARTICULATE THAN I'M GOING TO BE ABLE TO DO. UH I THINK WE HAVE BEEN GIVEN A NUMBER BY THE ADMINISTRATION IN ITS THE 15. $15 MILLION NUMBER. 
          UM. AND PROBABLY NOT. PROBABLY CERTAINLY. THE SMARTEST PEOPLE IN THE ROOM TO BE ABLE TO MAKE THE DECISIONS ON HOW THAT GETS ASSIGNED TO DIFFERENT PROJECTS ARE ON THAT SIDE OF THE PODIUM, NOT THIS SIDE. SO FOR US. TO SIT HERE TONIGHT TO TRY TO OH, FIGURE OUT HOW THAT IS BEST SPENT. I THINK PEOPLE IN THE IN THE BLUE CHAIRS OVER HERE. SHOULD BE GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE THAT DECISION OR THOSE DECISIONS. WHAT I MIGHT SUGGEST IS THAT WE GO FORWARD WITH APPROVING THE NUMBER. AND ALLOW THESE THESE PEOPLE TO DECIDE TO DAVID'S POINT. UM. DECIDE HOW THAT GETS DONE, NOT NOT IN A ADVERSARIAL FIGHTING IT OUT WAY THAT THAT HAS BEEN DESCRIBED, BUT BUT IN A COLLABORATIVE AND COOPERATIVE WAY. OF WE ARE IN AN UNCOMFORTABLE POSITION. WE DIDN'T ASK TO BE PUT HERE. BUT THIS IS WHERE WE ARE. HOW DO WE WORK TOGETHER? TO MAKE THE BEST OF THIS $15 MILLION NUMBER. IF I MADE THAT THAT'S THE PROBLEM IS THAT $15 MILLION NUMBER IS NOT ENOUGH. THAT'S THE ISSUE AND SO WE SUPPORT THE COUNSELING. WINKLER'S POINT, THAT NUMBER SHOULD BE 24. MILLION. IF YOU LOOK AT ALL OF US WORKING TOGETHER, THE 15,000,007 15,000,007 50 WAS WHAT THE WHAT THE ADMINISTRATION CAME UP WITH. THAT IS INADEQUATE NUMBER THE NUMBER THE NUMBER THAT SHOULD BE WHEN YOU SAY THAT WERE THE THAT'S WHAT I MEAN BY BEING IN THE UNCOMFORTABLE POSITION. THE NUMBER IS WHAT IT IS. BECAUSE TO GIVE TO GIVE GET BEAR WITH ME. 
          FORGIVE YOU, THE 24. THE NEXT PERSON STANDING AT THE PODIUM IS GOING TO HAVE THE SAME ARGUMENT. 
          WE NEED MORE TO NOT. I'M NOT ASKING FOR WE'RE NOT ASKING 24. THAT'S THE TOTAL OF ALL OF US. 
          THAT'S NOT WHAT I'M SAYING, BUT TO GIVE TO GIVE YOU MORE THAN 15, THEN PARKS OR SOMEBODY ELSE IS GOING TO HAVE TO TAKE LESS MONEY INITIALLY, WASN'T IT WAS IT WAS WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT MONEY. 24 MILLION. THAT WAS 24 MILLION WAS TAKEN FROM COC WAS WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT MONEY THE MAYOR COULD HAVE SHOULD HAVE THIS ALL DAY LONG. BUT RIGHT NOW THE NUMBER IS 15. WHAT CAN BE DONE INSTEAD OF OKAY? INSTEAD OF WE GOT TO HAVE 24 OR NOTHING. YEAH. CAN BE DONE. UH SO WHAT? WHAT CAN BE DONE? WHAT KIND OF SOLUTION CAN BE DONE WITH 15? ALRIGHT I THINK WE THAT'S THAT IS WHAT YOU HAVE WITH THE PROPOSALS, RIGHT? YEAH. SO WE ARE. WE CAN CONTINUE ON TO HAVE FOUR PEOPLE IN THE QUEUE IS 16. WE CAN CONTINUE ON WITH US IF THAT IS THE WILL OF THE COMMITTEE. UM I THINK MAYBE I'M HEARING BUT I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT IT IS I'M HEARING CORRECTLY FROM COMMITTEE MEMBERS. I THINK WHAT I MIGHT BE HEARING IS THAT WE MIGHT ENTERTAIN A PROPOSAL. 
          TWO. UM. MAYBE TABLE AT THIS POINT AND TO ASK THE ADMINISTRATION AND THOSE FOLKS THAT WE HAVE AROUND THE TABLE TO HAVE A VERY SERIOUS DISCUSSION ABOUT WHETHER THE 15 IS ENOUGH AND WHETHER THE 24 IS ABSOLUTELY NEEDED AND COME UP WITH MAYBE COME BACK IN TWO WEEKS WITH WHAT UM, MAYBE A CONSENSUS FROM ALL THE FOLKS IN THE BLUE CHAIRS. AS YOU SAID, UM, WOULD SEE US BEING THE AMOUNT THAT WOULD BE NECESSARY IN ORDER TO IN ORDER FOR THE GOALS OF THE PROGRAMS. 
          [01:30:02]
NOT JUST WE NEED THIS BECAUSE WE WANT TO SPEND THIS BUT IN ORDER FOR THE GOALS OF THE PROGRAM TO BE IF THE ANSWER COMES BACK THAT WE HAVE TO HAVE MORE THAN THE 15TH. THEN I WOULDN'T I WOULD WANT INCLUDED WITH THAT ANSWER IS WHERE DOES THE EXCERPT COMPANIES HAVE TO BE? YES WE HAVE A WE HAVE A FINITE NUMBER, SO YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT. IF IT COMES BACK BIGGER. ALL WE'RE DOING IS NOT, YOU KNOW, EVEN EVEN OVER THANKSGIVING NEPAL. WE'RE NOT GETTING BIGGER. POINT OF CLARIFICATION. MR CHAIRMAN IS THAT WOULD THAT BE COMING BACK FOR THE NOVEMBER 30TH COUNCIL MEETING? TWO WEEKS FROM NOW. NO, IT'S NOT. OH I'M SORRY. WHEN IS IT THE NEXT THE FIFTH. OKAY? YEAH AND I WANT US TO NOT LOSE SIGHT THAT WE IF WE KEEP PUSHING THIS DOWN THE ROAD WE'RE GOING TO BE SITTING AT THAT THRESHOLD. SAYING. MAN IT SURE WOULD HAVE BEEN NICE FOR YOU HAVE BEEN ABLE TO SPEND THAT MONEY. AND SEND IT BACK TO THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT. SO RIGHT? BUT IT'S BUT IT HAS TO BE ENCUMBERED BY. DECEMBER 30TH 2024 AND IT SPENT BY 26, BUT BUT I HEAR YOU. I MEAN, THAT IS A CONCERN, COUNSELOR. I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ALSO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT MAYBE THE 15.7 IS THE RIGHT. CORRECT NOT ONLY AND THEN FROM THAT POINT THAT GOING THE OTHER WAY THAT WE MAKE SURE THAT THE PROGRAMS WITHIN THAT 15.7 ARE DESIGNED IN A WAY PROGRAM ON A PROGRAM BY PROGRAM BASIS THAT THEY CAN BE SUCCESSFUL. BECAUSE I'M NOT SURE THAT THAT THAT THAT LEVEL OF CONVERSATION HAS OCCURRED, RIGHT ? YOU KNOW, AND I DON'T WANT TO BE. YES, I IF I IMPLIED THAT IT WOULD NECESSARILY BE AN INCREASE . I DIDN'T MEAN TO IMPLY THAT I THINK IT MAY VERY WELL BE THE NUMBER. I DON'T KNOW WHAT I HEAR FROM WHAT I THINK I HEAR FROM MY COLLEAGUES IS THAT WE'RE NOT COMFORTABLE THAT WE'RE SURE THAT'S THE RIGHT NUMBER. IS THAT FAIR? OR THE RIGHT SERVICES? YES, RIGHT. YES AND THE SAUSAGE MAKING. WE'RE NOT SURE WE NEVER RUNNING THAT COULD GO THERE. SO. 
          I WOULD ENTERTAIN A MOTION TO SAY ONE MORE QUESTION AND I WAS GOING TO DO THAT. UM CERTAINLY. 
          OKAY. SORRY. IT'S A QUICK QUESTION, MR HILLENBRAND. OKAY I KEEP GOING BACK TO THE BARRIER REMOVAL ON THE UNDERSTAND THAT THAT'S A HUGE ISSUE WITHIN YOU KNOW THE TRAINING. UM AN AMPED. 
          IT'S HE SUGGESTED 340 PEOPLE TRAINED WITH URBAN LEAGUE, IT, SAYS 340 CLIENTS REFERRED BY AMPED FOR BURIAL REMOVER REMOVAL SERVICES. BUT YET THAT IS ALSO MENTIONED. UM WITHIN AMPS, SO I JUST STILL FEEL LIKE THERE'S A DUPLICATION THERE, AND I UNDERSTAND THAT THAT'S A LARGE PART, IF NOT THE BIGGEST, LARGE, LARGEST PART. BUT UM, HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE WE ANTICIPATING BEING ABLE TO TRAIN AND GET INTO JOBS. WHAT WAS THE GOAL? THE INFORMATION THAT I BELIEVE THEY VE SUBMITTED? 340 RESIDENTS RECRUIT AND TRAIN ON UNDEREMPLOYED AND. UNEMPLOYED RESIDENTS AND. AND MORE. SO IT'S 340. WAS THAT THE NUMBER 340 IN PLACE 213 INDIVIDUALS AND JOBS. 
          OKAY SO THAT WOULD BE SO WHEN WE LOOK AT THE BARRIER REMOVAL WE LOOK AT OKAY. AND HOW MANY OF YOUR FOLKS NEED BARRIER REMOVAL. OKAY LET'S REFER THEM TO URBAN LEAGUE. LET'S REFER THEM TO ELDER SERVICE SO THEY CAN GET THOSE BARRIER REMOVAL SERVICES. LET'S REMOVE THAT'S REFER THEM TO METRO UNITED WAY FOR FINANCIAL EMPOWERMENT COACHING SO THAT THEY CAN GET THE FULL BENEFIT OF ALL THE SERVICES. NONE OF THE BARRIER REMOVAL SERVICES ARE GOING TO BE PREVENTED BY AMPED AT ALL. IT'S ALL GOING TO URBAN LEAGUE. GOVERNMENT LEAGUE METRO UNITED WAY AN ELDER SERVE IN THIS PROPOSAL. OKAY THANKS FOR THAT. CLARIFICATION THANK YOU, UM I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO TABLE WE HAVE A MOTION TO TABLE BEFORE US. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR OF TABLING SAY, AYE AYE, ANY OPPOSED?
