>> 'S EQUIPMENT >> SEVEN WE VERY MUCH DID HAVE JUST ABOUT THE SAME PERCENT ON TIME AS LESS TIME.
WE DID HAVE INCREASE BE A TWO AREA USAGE THIS LAST MONTH.
WE DID HAVE A LOWER LINKUP DRIVER, BUT THAT WAS, BECAUSE SHE MOVED TO ARIZONA FOR THE LAST WEEK AND HALF. INDISCERNIBLE - LOW VOLUME ] WE DO HAVE TWO MORE COVERS FOR LINKED UP COMING IN THE NEXT WEEK. WE JUST HAVE TO FINALIZE ALL THE COVERAGES TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY ARE COMPLIANT WITH THE COVERAGES ON THEIR STAFF. TRAINED AND OUT ON THE ROAD TO HELP WITH THAT CLIENT BASE. OKAY . OUR PERCENT ON TIME WENT UP. DEMAND RESPONSE ON THE EVENING SERVICE , WE DID HAVE A BETTER ONE ON THAT. OUR ON CALL WENT DOWN A LITTLE BIT ON THAT, BUT THE WEATHER AND EVERYTHING HAD EFFECT ON THAT TOO. OVERALL THE ONLY BIG NUMBER THAT I COULD SEE THAT I MIGHT NEED TO EXPLAIN TODAY IS OUR CANCELS. WE HAD ABOUT , NOT SURE WHAT THE PERCENTAGES, BUT THE REASON THAT IS IS WE REALIZE THAT OUR REPORT THAT WE WERE RUNNING BEFORE THIS, WE WERE PLANNING ANY CANCEL THAT WAS CANCELED AT ALL. WE HAVE WHAT WE BREAKDOWN AS ADVANCE CANCEL, ANY CANCEL MORE THAN TWO HOURS. SO IF SOMEONE CANCELED THEIR TRIP A WEEK BEFORE, THE CANCELED IT, WE ARE COUNTING THAT AS ADVANCE COUNCIL . WE DID START JUST RUNNING THE COUNCILS FOR THAT DAY. AS LONG AS THEY CALLED AND AND MADE AN ADVANCE CANCEL, WHAT WE CONSIDER ELITE CANCEL ON THE DAY THEY WERE PLANNING TO TRAVEL, WE JUST STARTED COUNTING THOSE , BECAUSE BEFORE IF SOMEONE CALLED AND SAID, HEY, WE NEED TO CANCEL MY APPOINTMENT NEXT WEEK, BECAUSE I'M GOING OUT OF TOWN, WE CANCELED IT. IF I NEEDED TO CANCEL IT, BECAUSE INDISCERNIBLE - LOW VOLUME ] WE COME TO THAT. WE DECIDED THAT IS REALLY NOT WHAT WE NEEDED TO KEEP TRACK OF. WHEN HE WANTED TO KEEP TRACK OF THE PEOPLE WHO WERE COUNSELING, BECAUSE TODAY FOR WHATEVER REASON WE DID NOT NEED TO TRAVEL , BECAUSE THE WEATHER WAS BAD, DR. CHAIN DOCTOR CHANGE THE STUFF. REALLY COUNTING A LOT OF STUFF, BECAUSE WE CANCELED , BECAUSE SOMETHING HAPPENED A WEEK IN ADVANCE . IT WAS, LIKE, THAT IS A LOT OF STUFF THAT IS IT MORE LIKE A SCHEDULING ISSUE INSTEAD OF THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE SERVICE OR WE WOULD JUST WAIT TOO FAR IN ADVANCE. THAT IS WHY THERE IS A BIG CHANGE IN THAT. THOSE NUMBERS SHOULD BE MORE AROUND THOSE RANGES, MORE OF A STEADY LINK FROM NOW ON. ACCURATE , JUST WE HAD WAY TOO BIG OF A NET SO THAT IS WHY QUESTIONS YOU ALL WOULD HAVE THAT I CAN ANSWER?
>> LOOKS LIKE STEADY APPLICATIONS.
[00:05:07]
>> YES , WE ARE DOING VERY WELL ON THE APPLICATION PROCESS. THE EVENING SERVICE DID VERY WELL, STAIN STUDY ON THE BUSINESS STUFF. WE DO HAVE UPTICK ON OUR TRIPS. WE HAVE ANOTHER TAB OF THE MONTH JUST TO -- STARTING THIS WEEK. WE ARE ABLE TO HAVE A LITTLE BIT BETTER. HOPEFULLY EVEN THOUGH OUR ON TIMES ARE GOOD IN THE EVENING THEY COULD GO UP. WE HAVE DRIVERS TRAINING, COMING ON ] STARTING ON TWO WEEKS FOR NO , DO NOT KNOW WHAT THE
ACTUAL DATE IS. NINTH? >> WE DO HAVE MORE DRIVERS
COMING IN. >> IN ADDITION TO THE ONES THAT YOU BROUGHT UP AT OUR LAST MEETING?
>> YES, THESE ARE NEW HIRES . WE DO HAVE THE ONES WE HAVE , GLAD TO SAY THAT SINCE THE LAST MEETING, WE HAVE NOT LOST ONE DRIVER. NO ONE HAS LEFT. WELL, NOW THE LINKUP DRIVER WHO MOVED TO ARIZONA, SHE MOVED. WAS NOT, BECAUSE OF
OVERLAPPING SPEAKERS ] >> WHAT IS THE TOTAL NUMBER ?
>> OF DRIVERS WE HAVE RIGHT NOW? WE HAVE 13 DRIVERS ON THE ADA SERVICE I BELIEVE RIGHT NOW. YES, 13. THE OTHER ONE IS ON THE FIXED ROUTE HAVE 13 RIGHT NOW. WE HAVE ONE IN TRAINING THAT IS JUST FINISHING UP HER BEHIND THE WHEEL TRAINING WITH THE TRAINER. SHE HAS ANOTHER, I THINK, 30 HOURS BEHIND THE WHEEL AS A OBSERVER.
THEN WE HAVE THE THREE NOW. THEY HAVE TWO WEEKS OF TRAINING, TWO WEEKS OF TRAINING TO GO TO , HANDBOOK. LEARN ALL THE PROCEDURES AND THAT STUFF THEN THEY GET BEHIND THE WHEEL.
THEN WE HAVE A MINIMUM OF 60 HOURS WITH TRAINERS BEFORE THEY COULD GET THROUGH THE EVALUATION. SOME PEOPLE TAKE A LITTLE MORE THAN THAT, BUT A LITTLE MORE THAN 60 HOURS THAT THEY HAVE TO HAVE OBSERVED BEHIND THE WHEEL. WOULD GET EVALUATED EVERY DAY. REGRADE THEM ON HOW MUCH THEY HAVE TO ASK FOR HELP . HOW MANY TIMES THEY NEED TO BE SHOWN HOW TO SECURE WHEELCHAIRS. INTERACTIONS WITH THE CLIENTELE , CUSTOMER SERVICE. DOOR TO DOOR. SERVICE, THANK THEM AND ALL THESE THINGS, WRITE DOWN HOW THEY DO EACH DAY. GREAT THEM ON EXCELLENT, FAIR, POUR, AND I THINK THE LAST ONE IS EFFORT OR F, FAIL. IT COUNTS ON HOW MUCH TIME THEY HAVE GRADE. WE HAVE TO CORRECT THE ONCE OR TWICE, THEY GET THAT SO JUST DEPENDS ON HOW NEED TO MAKE SURE YOU ADDRESS YOUR CLIENT BY NAME. WANT TO MAKE SURE YOU ASK THEM WHAT THEY ARE GOING TO MAKE SURE YOU HAVE THE RIGHT ADDRESS AND RIGHT CLIENT. SOMETIMES WE GO TO THE HOSPITALS THERE ARE TWO, THREE PEOPLE WAITING FOR US SO LIKE, HEY, YOU JUST GO HEY, ARE YOU MARY ? VERY COMMON NAME. WANT TO MAKE SURE WE ASKED LESLIE, MARY PATTON ? FIRST, LAST NAMES. TO GO TO WALMART ON THE CEL-SCI, SOMETIMES THEY'RE NOT GOING TO WALMART ON THE SOUTH SIDE, BUT ON THE NORTH SIDE TO GET THEIR PRESCRIPTIONS. WE WANT TO MAKE SURE WE ASK THE QUESTION FOR WE GET HALFWAY TO THE WRONG WALMART THEN TURN AROUND TO GO THE OTHER WAY. THESE ARE THE KIND OF QUESTIONS WE TRAINED TO ASK TO MAKE SURE, BECAUSE IT IS VERY MUCH ABOUT BEING SAFE AND BEING COURTEOUS. ALSO ABOUT BEING POLITE ATTENTIVE TO TO CLIENTS, MAKING SURE THEY FEEL LIKE THEY KNOW WHO THEY FEEL WE KNOW WHO THEY ARE INDISCERNIBLE - LOW VOLUME ] WHISTLE ASKED WHAT TIME ARE YOU SUPPOSED TO TO MOVE OUR SCHEDULE AROUND.
WILL NEED TO GO DROP MARY OFF FIRST. WE WILL HAVE TO MOVE OUR TRIPS AROUND TO GET THEIR FIRST SO THEY ARE NOT LEFT INDISCERNIBLE - LOW VOLUME ] SOMETIMES THIS CAN MAKE PEOPLE A LITTLE BOTHERED, BECAUSE THEY DON'T GET TO GO TO SAFEWAY OR WALMART OR HPE RIGHT AWAY, BUT PEOPLE, WE DO PIRATE TIES TO CLIENTS WITH APPOINTMENTS AND JOBS OVER PEOPLE GOING HOME
[00:10:01]
AND PEOPLE GOING SHOPPING, BECAUSE THOSE PEOPLE HAVE VERY IMPORTANT THINGS TO DO FOR HEALTHCARE AND FOR WORK. WE DO OUR BEST TO MAKE SURE ARRIVE ON THE VAN IS 45 MINUTES OR LESS, BUT WE WANT TO LOWER THAT . THESE ARE ALL PART OF THE TRAINING THINGS THAT WE DO WITH ARE TO DRIVERS, AND THE TRAINEES TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY UNDERSTAND THE SYSTEM CAN MAKE MISTAKES, WHERE THERE AS A DOUBLE CHECK .>> YES SIR? >> IS IT FIVE DAYS A WEEK MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY RIGHT NOW?
>> THE ADA SERVICE RUNS SIX DAYS A WEEK, MONDAY-SATURDAY, FROM , WE PULL OUT ABOUT 6:15 IN THE MORNING AND WORK TILL ABOUT 5:45 IN THE EVENING. THE EVENING SERVICE RUNS ABOUT 6:15 , UNTIL MIDNIGHT , BUT ADA SERVICES FROM 6:15 UNTIL 5:45. WE WORK LATER THAN THAT, BECAUSE SOME PEOPLE GET PICKED UP HOURS
>> I HAD A PROBLEM WITH THAT ONE, SEVERAL YEARS AGO INDISCERNIBLE - LOW VOLUME ] WE DO HAVE SOME GRANDFATHERED CLIENTS THAT WE PICKED UP EARLIER THAN SIX, BECAUSE THEY WERE HERE BEFORE THE NEW SYSTEM , ON DIALASSIST, THE I DIALYSIS BUT SINCE THEN WE DO A 6:15 EARLIEST BOOKING INDISCERNIBLE - LOW VOLUME ] WE GOT TO GET OUR VANCE CHECKED OUT, DURING THE LEAVE, IS TRYING TO PULL OUT BEFORE 6:15, BECAUSE A LOT OF PLACES, EXCEPT DIALYSIS , SORRY
INDISCERNIBLE - LOW VOLUME ]. >> ANYTHING ELSE ?
>> YOU ALSO. YOU HAVE A VERY GOOD WEEKEND .
[3. Present and Future of Citizens Advisory Board for People with Disabilities]
>> NEXT AGENDA ITEM IS NUMBER 3, PRESENT AND FUTURE CITIZENS ADVISORY BOARD FOR PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES. OKAY . I WILL TAKE THIS ONE, THEY ARE HAVING TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES. THEY CANNOT HEAR US. SO THAT IS WHY YOU ARE NOT SEEING THE PERSON.
THEY TRY TO COME AND HEAR US, BUT THEY ARE WORKING ON IT. THE REASON AT OUR LAST MEETING IN DECEMBER WE TALKED ABOUT HAVING A CONVERSATION AT THIS MEETING ABOUT WHAT WE WANTED THE FUTURE OF THIS BOARD TO BE. IN 2017, WHEN THIS BOARD WAS SET UP, IT WAS SET UP TO MEET TWO TIMES A YEAR . IT WAS TO EVALUATE CITY PROPERTIES. ORIGINALLY THIS WAS UNDER THE HUMAN RESOURCES DEPARTMENT. I GUESS IT WAS ABOUT THREE YEARS AGO, IT MOVED OVER INTO PARKS AND RECREATION DEPARTMENT . WE TOOK ON FACILITIES , SINCE FACILITIES ARE WHAT YOU EVALUATE, THE BOARD WAS PUT UNDER OUR JURISDICTION AS WELL. AND SO, FROM THAT TIME, THERE HAS BEEN, AS YOU KNOW, A LOT OF TOURS OF CITY BUILDINGS, LETTER OF RECOMMENDATIONS, TRYING TO IMPLEMENT, MANY OF THOSE RECOMMENDATIONS, NOT TOO LONG AGO THERE WAS A PRESENTATION THAT WE HAD DONE.
WE CONTINUE TO HAVE THOSE ONGOING CONVERSATIONS IF THERE IS A NEW FACILITY OR SOMETHING COMING UP WE WILL BRING THAT TOWARD THE BOARD TO REVIEW. IS A NOTE THAT IS NOT REAL OFTEN.
MAYBE ONCE, TWICE A YEAR. AT THE LAST MEETING, OVER A COUPLE OF MEETINGS OVER THE LAST YEAR OR SO THERE HAVE BEEN CONVERSATIONS ABOUT HAVING SPEAKERS OR THIS BOARD BEING ACTIVE , IN PROMOTING DIFFERENT THINGS. SO THIS CONVERSATION IS ABOUT REALLY THE SCOPE OF THIS BOARD AND WHAT THIS BOARD WANTS TO BE. IF YOU WANT TO ASK FOR A CHANGE. WHAT IS BEFORE YOU, THAT HAS BEEN APPROVED BY CITY COUNCIL, IS MEETING TWICE A YEAR TO EVALUATE CITY FACILITIES. AS A STAFF PERSON, THAT IS MY DIRECTOR, IS TO MAKE SURE YOU ALL MOVE PRICIER AND THAT IS WHAT WE FOCUS ON. THEIR WAS A SPECIAL WHEN WE FIRST STARTED , MEETING MORE OFTEN, GOOD IDEA, BECAUSE THERE ARE SO MANY BUILDINGS IN THE CITY THAT IS LESS IS IMPORTANT NOW . WE HAVE GONE THROUGH SO MANY
[00:15:03]
OF THEM , WITHOUT STARTING OVER AGAIN. THERE IS JUST REALLY THAT ANYMORE BUILDING THAT WE HAD AT ANY PARTICULAR TIME.SO IF THIS BOARD CAN STAY UNDER THAT DIRECTION, YOU KNOW, WE CAN CONTINUE MEETING TWICE A YEAR, STAY ON CITY FERTILITY'S, THAT IS AT THE DISCRETION OF THE COUNCIL. IF THIS BOARD WANTS TO CHANGE THE SCOPE, THAT IS SOMETHING THAT I WILL HAVE TO TAKE NOTES ABOUT. THAT WILL BE SOMETHING THAT WE WILL NEED THE BOARD TO REQUEST OR MAKE A REQUEST FROM MR. HANNAH. I AM NOT SURE WE ARE AT THAT POINT YET , KIND OF DEPENDS ON HOW THIS CONVERSATION GOES TODAY AS TO WHERE WE WANT TO GO. WITH THAT, JAMIE , I WILL OPEN UP THE
FLOOR. >> NO PRESSURE . I DEFINITELY WANT TO HAVE THIS FEEL AS A COMMITTEE, AS A BOARD, THAT, YOU KNOW, YOU ALL GET THE INPUT, OF COURSE . I DO REALIZE WE ARE MISSING OUR SURE, JOANNE. KNOW THAT HER INPUT IS ALSO VITAL SO SEE ABOUT HAVING THIS CONVERSATION, BUT BEING ABLE TO TABLE ANY MAJOR DECISIONS UNTIL SHE COMES BACK SO THAT WE CAN MAKE SURE THAT WE GET HER INPUT AS THE CHAIR OF THIS BOARD. MOVING FORWARD. WHILE I KNOW WE DISCUSSED MEETING MONTHLY , IF THAT IS NOT A POSSIBILITY, I FEEL THAT WE COULD STILL DO IT EVERY OTHER MONTH. WHILE LOOKING AT THINGS THAT WE COULD BRING IN, THEN THEY FALL UNDER THE SCOPE OF THAT CITY ALSO.
NOT NECESSARILY BUILDINGS, BUT OTHER THINGS THAT THE CITY
OVERSEAS. OVERSEES. >> I JUST THOUGHT ABOUT WHAT YOU ALL WANT TO DO. MAYBE WE COULD JOIN AND GET BACK.
>> ANYONE OF YOU? >> I THINK IT WOULD BE BETTER JOANNE TO BE HERE ALSO. I HAVE A COUPLE OF THINGS , I THINK, RIGHT HERE. I THINK WE SHOULD MEET , I SAID THIS BEFORE, IN HERE, TWO MONTHS IS A LONG TIME . IF WE DECIDE ON ANYTHING TO START WORKING ON ANYTHING, I BELIEVE WE DON'T SEE ANYTHING FOR 'S TWO MONTHS. VOLUME ] I THINK THERE ARE OTHER POSSIBILITIES, YOU KNOW, JUST SAYING, EVENTS, SOMETHING LIKE THAT, WE COULD GET INVOLVED IN . I MISSED THE LAST MEETING . THIS IS OFF THE
CUFF , I THINK. >> DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING YOU
>> IS YOU ALL WOULD LIKE FOR ME TO PUT THAT ON THE NEXT AGENDA?
>> IT IS POSSIBLE . I THINK IT WOULD BE GOOD TO HAVE OUR CHAIRPERSON, YOU KNOW, INPUT TOO. I HAVE SOME IDEAS AND THOUGHTS FROM LOOKING AT OTHER SETUPS, SIMILAR TO OURS. I WANT TO MAKE SURE , I GUESS MY QUESTION IS DO YOU WANT TO SHARE ANY OF THOSE TODAY ARE JUST PUNT UNTIL THE NEXT
MEETING? >> I AM HAPPY TO SHARE --
>> WE COULD THINK ABOUT THEM. >> HOUSTON HAS A PROGRAM , SIMILAR TO OURS. SOME OF THE THINGS THAT THEY HAVE WORKED
[00:20:07]
WITH, THEIR CITY, LATELY THE RECREATION DEPARTMENT, INCLUSIVE ABILITY FOR COMMUNITY MEMBERS TO BE ABLE TO PARTICIPATE WITH THE KIDS, THE CAMPS THEY PROVIDE.ADAPTABILITY WITH BEING ABLE TO UTILIZE CERTAIN WORKOUT PROGRAMS , THINGS LIKE THAT, WHICH INVOLVE THE COMMUNITY. I KNOW WE ARE DOING THE ASL CLASS WHICH I THINK IS PHENOMENAL. INPUT , FEEDBACK HAS BEEN GREAT , ALONG WITH THE COURSE AND THE REGISTRATION. I KNOW THEY ALSO GET OUT AND MEET WITH THE DISABILITY COMMUNITY, ASKING THEM, ESPECIALLY WITH A CANTS GET TO THESE MEETINGS, WHEN THEY CANNOT GET TO THESE MEETINGS, LIKE THINGS THAT ARE HOLDING THEM, THEY HAVE A COMMITTEE THAT GOES OUT, TALKS TO THE CITIZENS. ADDRESSES , LIKE THEY HAVE, SIDEWALK ISSUES, BECAUSE THE SIDEWALKS HAVE OVERGROWN OR TOO CRACKED WITH THEIR WALKER, WHEELCHAIR , MOBILITY DEVICE. HE CANNOT WALK DOWN THE STREET TO GO TO THE STORE. THEY DO NOT HAVE ANYONE WHO CAN DRIVE THEM OR SUCH. THEY GO AND TALK TO THEM. I KNOW WE HAVE THE INDISCERNIBLE - LOW VOLUME ] NOT EVERYONE HAS A SMART PHONE SO THE TAKE A PICTURE AND BRING IT TO THE DEPARTMENT .
CAN WE ADDRESS THIS WITH THEM ? TO FIX THINGS LIKE THAT. NOT NECESSARILY BUILDING SPACE, BUT COMMUNITY-BASED , IF THAT MAKES SENSE , IN THE CITY RUN BUILDINGS ON THE PROPERTY.
>> IS LAZY , DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEAS VOLUME ] WE MIGHT BE INVOLVED IN?
>> I DO NOT HAVE ANY IDEAS , NO, OUR DIRECTIVE RIGHT NOW IS REALLY JUST TWICE A YEAR, EVALUATING CITY BUILDINGS. I DID NOT HAVE ANYTHING BEYOND THAT . SOME OF THE THINGS THAT BOARDS HAVE TALKED ABOUT OR HAVE ASKED FOR IN THE PAST THAT ARE BEYOND THE SCOPE AND WE HAD TO SAY NO. TO SO THIS IS SOMETHING WE HAD TO TALK TAKING SOMETHING TO COUNCIL FOR APPROVAL IF WE CHANGE THE
STUFF. >> I THOUGHT ABOUT , YOUR SON, CANNOT REMEMBER EXACTLY, YOU KNOW, WHAT LEVEL HE HAS HAD, BUT I HAVE BEEN READING UP A WHOLE LOT, FOLLOWING A LOT OF STUFF ON FACEBOOK WITH ACCESSIBILITY FOLKS. THERE IS NOTHING LIKE THAT ANYWHERE CLOSE.
>> ACCESSIBLE TENNIS , EVERYTHING , REALLY NOT ANYTHING AROUND LIKE THAT. I HAVE NOT CHECKED INTO IT. I AM NOT SAYING WHICH WAY IT GOES HERE, AS FAR AS WHAT THE CITY LIKES. AS FAR AS THE COURT MANAGER THINKS ABOUT IT, YOU KNOW
PROBLEM. >> THE LITTLE THINGS ARE THEIR OWN. THE CITY , THEY USE THE PARKS .
>> WE CONTRACT WITH THEM FOR THE USE OF OUR FACILITIES , BUT THEY MANAGE THEIR OWN INDIVIDUAL
LOW VOLUME ] . >> AGAIN, THROUGH THE CITY.
>> THAT IS A LOT OF WHAT THE CITY OR WHERE THE CITY HAS BEEN, YOU KNOW, WE HAVE THE AMENITIES, BUT WE DEPEND ON OUTSIDE GROUPS TO PUT ON THE PROGRAM. SO WHETHER IT IS THE CHALLENGER GROUP, SPECIAL OLYMPICS THAT USE OUR PROGRAMS, LEAGUES THAT USE OUR PROGRAMS, WE HAVE THE FACILITIES. WEEK CONTRACT WITH THE ORGANIZATION AND THEY PUT ON THE PROGRAMS. WE HAVE NOT INITIATED , EVEN ADAPTIVE RACK, YOU KNOW, WE TURNED TO THE MANAGEMENT OF THAT OVER TO ANDY HERWIG. IN A LOT OF WAYS, PEOPLE WITH SPECIALTY IN THAT AREA ARE ABLE TO DO THOSE PROGRAMS MUCH BETTER THAN WE ARE.
>> OKAY . JUST A MINUTE . SAY WE HAD A COMMITTEE THAT WENT TO, SAY, CITY DAY CAMPS AND SPORTS THAT WERE WILLING TO
[00:25:02]
INVITE THEM INTO THOSE THINGS. POSSIBILITY I TO WORK WITH THEM TO GO WITH THE PROGRAMS. YOU KNOW, TO KIND OF FACILITATE THOSE OPPORTUNITIES , BECAUSE I AT ONE POINT INDISCERNIBLE - LOW VOLUME ] BUILD AN INCLUSIVE OPTION FOR KIDS TO COME AND DO THEIR ZOO CAMP . THROUGH THE CITY REC CENTERS, CHRISTMAS, SUMMER, THEY OFFER THOSE PROGRAMS. EVEN LIKE THIS MORNING WE HAD A COMMITTEE THEY WANTED TO GET TOGETHER , WORK WITH THEM, KIND OF GUIDE THEM THROUGH THE PROCESS. LET THAT BE OUT OF OUR SCOPE OR SOMETHING THATOVERLAPPING SPEAKERS ] >> THAT IS CURRENTLY OUTSIDE THE SCOPE OF THE BOARD, BECAUSE THAT IS MORE INTO PROGRAMMING. NOT INTO THE ADAPTABILITY OF THE FACILITIES. IF THERE IS A GROUP OUT THERE THAT WOULD LIKE TO HAVE THE PROGRAM LIKE THAT, THAT IS OUTSIDE OF THIS BOARD, BUT THAT IS A CONVERSATION THAT WOULD HAPPEN WITH CITY ADMINISTRATION AND THE MANAGEMENT OF THE PARKS AND REC DEPARTMENT. OUTSIDE OF THE SCOPE OF THIS BOARD, AS IT IS .
>> DO YOU THINK IT WOULD BE A POSSIBILITY TO CHANGE THE SCOPE
OF THE BOARD? >> THAT IS THE CONVERSATION WE
ARE HAVING RIGHT NOW . >> IF WE COULD CHANGE THE SCOPE OF THE BOARD TO BE NOT JUST BUILDING BASED , BUT EVERYTHING CITY ENTITY, YOU KNOW, OVERSEEN BY THE CITY, I THINK WE COULD FIND A LOT MORE PRODUCTIVE THINGS TO HELP OUR CITY INCLUSIVE. AT A NEW PARK, BUT WHAT WE NEED TO DO VOLUME ] , BUT , YOU KNOW, OVERALL I THINK WHAT WE HAVE ALREADY, FINDING A PLACE TO MAKE THAT VOLUME ] I FEEL LIKE WE COULD DO MORE LIKE , JUST STOPPING THE EASY PART . I AM ALWAYS ONE FOR CHALLENGE , GOING THAT
FAR . >> I THINK WE DEFINITELY , SORT OF THE QUESTION YOU HAD, WITH STUFF, NOT NECESSARILY WHAT IT IS. MOVING THE SCOPE OF THE COMMITTEE --
>> THE QUESTION FOR TODAY IS DO WE WANT TO LOOK AT MOVING THE SCOPE , BUT MORE SPECIFICALLY , WE WILL HAVE TO FIND THAT TUNE, WHAT IS THAT, PUT IT IN WRITING TO GO TO THE CITY MANAGER. I GUESS RIGHT NOW WHAT WE'RE DOING IS BRAINSTORMING THAT WE ARE GOING TO HAVE TO FIND , FINE-TUNE THAT , EXACTLY WHAT IT IS. GOING BACK TO PROGRAMMING, LOT OF THAT, YOU START GETTING INTO PEOPLE 'S HOURS, DOLLARS, YOU GO TO CITY MANAGEMENT, CITY COUNCIL FOR APPROVAL. IT WOULD BE GREAT TO HAVE A PROGRAM, BUT IF WE DO NOT HAVE THE STUFF , YOU KNOW, IF WE DON'T HAVE THE STAFF, TRAINING, DO NOT HAVE THE SUPPLIES, IT IS HARD TO IMPLEMENT IT. THAT GOES INTO
THE BUDGET PROCESS AS WELL. >> TO MEET IT SOUNDS LIKE WE ARE ALL IN AGREEMENT. WE WANT TO TAKE A LOOK AT THE FOLLOW-UP ON THAT, BUT IN THE NEXT TO MONTHS , WE COULD THINK ABOUT IT, SOME OF THE STUFF
INDISCERNIBLE - LOW VOLUME ]. >> I DON'T THINK OUR JOB IS DONE YET THAT WILL COME BACK IS IT THIS BOARD'S RESPONSIBILITY TO DO THAT OR ARE THERE OTHER ORGANIZATIONS OUT THERE DOING THAT? ONE OF THE COMMENTS THAT WE NORMALLY GET IS THEY DON'T WANT US COMPETING WITH FOR-PROFIT. THEY DON'T WANT US COMPETING WITH NONPROFIT . SO JUST, BECAUSE IT IS SOMETHING
[00:30:05]
THAT WOULD BE GOOD TO DO, IS THERE ANOTHER OFFER, ARE WE ARE READY DOING IT? IT NEEDS TO BE TAPPED INTO, THAT IS ONE OF THE QUESTIONS THAT WILL COME BACK TO THIS BOARD. JUST, BECAUSE IT IS AGREED, IT DOES NOT MEAN THAT SOMEBODY IS NOTOUT THERE ALREADY. >> I WOULD SAY IN OUR AREA INDISCERNIBLE - LOW VOLUME ] THIS IS WHAT I AM BRINGING IT, BECAUSE I GET THESE QUESTIONS . FELT LIKE WHAT BETTER PLACE TO BRING IT TO, TO THIS ROOM, WHERE MAYBE IT COULD EVENTUALLY , BUT THAT IS JUST SAYING FROM DOING SOME BASIC RESEARCH , THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO WANT TO, BUT THE IDEA COMES , IT CALMS
AND LEAVES. >> ANYONE ELSE HAVE ANY
>> ANY OTHER DISCUSSION THAT WE WANT TO HAVE? DO WE JUST WANT
TO TABLE IT FOR NOW? >> DEBORAH, ANY OTHER COMMENTS
? >> I DON'T HAVE ANY RIGHT NOW.
>> PAT, DO YOU HAVE ANY COMMENTS?
>> I DON'T THINK I HAVE ANY COMMENT
>> DO WE NEED TO TAKE A VOTE ? >> THAT KIND OF FEEDS INTO THE
[4. Upcoming Board Topics]

CONVERSATION IN MARCH. THERE WILL BE PROBABLY NEXT MEETING FOR THE NEXT, THERE MAY BE SOME PLAN TO DO DIFFERENT THINGS TO DISCUSS AS WELL. SO IF SOMETHING COMES UP I WILL ADD IT TO THE AGENDA, BUT BEYOND THIS CONVERSATION, I DON'T HAVE ANYTHING ON THE HORIZON FOR THE CONVERSATION .>> WE ARE GOOD TO PUSH THIS TO MARCH.
