Yeah.

Yeah.

Well, give me uh I'll put some money in.

Oh, oh, he is.

Oh, cool.

Well, can't cover I got a game card.

Okay.

What's that's all about?

Good, how are you?

We're doing all right.

Uh June first, twenty twenty-six, uh City of Napa City Council regular meeting, and call that meeting to order, this meeting to order.

And our invitation tonight is Pastor Gabriel Render, if you'll stand with us for the invocation and the pledge of allegiance.

Ladies and gentlemen, pray with me.

Father, we've come before you this evening, recognizing that if we do not have you build the house, we labor in vain that seek to build it ourselves.

So Lord, I pray this evening that the uh proceedings would do uh just that, that they would proceed with wisdom as they recognize that you have called them to more than simply running a city to simply managing the resources entrusted to them by the people and the citizens of our of our town.

Well, Lord, that you've called them actually to a holy work.

You call them your deacons, just as you would an officer of our own churches.

So God, I pray that they would take this mantle with uh responsibility and with heaviness and with the burden that they bear, that they would seek to put their hand to the plow and to do rightly by their people, that they would seek not their own gain but seek the gain of their people, that they would invest wisely the talents that have been entrusted to them.

Lord, we know that if righteousness will exalt a nation, but that sin is a reproach to any nation.

So Lord, I pray that we would be here in Nampa, a people who are moral and upright before you.

Lord, again, I call these men and women and I charge them in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit to execute justice, to walk wisely and not haughty and arrogantly.

Lord, that they would have equal weights and equal measures in applying our constitution and our laws rightly before you, that they would uphold justice, that they would promote the good, and that they'd be a terror to evil.

So, Lord, we pray in your name this evening that these proceedings would go forth in just that manner, that these men and women would bear that responsibility with humility, that they would hear the needs of their people well with open ears, that they'd be slow to speak, quick to hear, knowing that frustration and anger do not produce the righteousness of God, but rather with meek and gentleness, I pray that they would seek your word and receive it, the implanted word which is able to save and promote life.

Lord, I pray for the city of Nampa that we would be a city that is an example in a city on the hill to the rest of our state, that we'd be a city among cities that leads its people well, cares for the needs of our community well, and that we'd be a place that would continue to thrive and stand against wickedness and perversion.

Lord, I pray that this city would do what's right with restraining evil in all its forms in all its ways, even when others fall short and make excuses.

So I pray for the men and women of this council and for every other servant of this city that they would take their responsibility well, that they would deal with it with the severity that it requires.

And Lord, that the proceedings of this meeting would honor you, that even in the discussion of budgets and and policies, that we would give you due glory because we know that there is no such thing as an amoral law.

All laws will promote the good or promote the evil.

So, Lord, may we be a city that promotes good.

We pray this in the name of Jesus Christ.

Amen.

Let's turn and pledge allegiance.

I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and in the Republic for which it stands, one nation and a God, the individual with liberty and justice pastor, thank you.

Thank you.

Jingula, here, Bills, here, Reynolds, Rodriguez, Griffin, all present.

Well, tonight we uh are reading a proclamation uh referencing Elder Abuse Awareness Month.

And so from the office of the mayor, whereas older adults deserve to be treated with respect and dignity to enable them to serve as leaders, mentors, volunteers, and vital participating members of our communities.

And whereas in 2006, the International Network for Prevention of Elder Abuse in support of the United Nations International Plan of Action proclaimed a day to recognize the significance of elder abuse as a public health and human rights issue.

And whereas the city of Nampa and the Nampa Family Justice Center recognize the importance of taking action to raise awareness, prevent and prevent and address elder abuse.

And whereas 2026 marks the 20th annual World Elder Abuse Awareness Day, it rec its recognition will promote a better understanding of abuse and neglect of older adults.

And whereas our population lives longer, we are presented with an opportunity to think about our collective needs and future as a nation.

And whereas ageism and social isolation are major causes of elder abuse in the United States, and whereas recognizing that it is up to all of us to ensure that proper social structures exist so people can retain community and social connections, reducing the likelihood of abuse.

And whereas preventing abuse of older adults through maintaining and improving social supports like senior centers, human services, and transportation will allow everyone to continue to live as independently as possible and contribute to the life and vibrancy of our communities.

Now, therefore, I David Bills, Council President of the City of Napa, Idaho, do hereby proclaim June 26th, 2026 to be Elder Abuse Awareness Month.

Yes, thank you.

President Councilman Bills and City Council, we are so thankful that you guys are recognizing June as Elder Abuse Awareness Month.

And as you said, that older adults they are living longer.

And there's this statistic from the United States Census Bureau that says right now in the United States in 11 states, older adults 65 and older actually outnumber children for the first time in history.

So if you stop and think about that, our generation generations are getting older and older, and unfortunately, elder abuse is just going to continue to get worse.

This last year at the Justice Center, we helped over 300 older adults.

And then Patrice is just going to say a quick word.

Yes, I'm Patrice Harris, and um I'm the elder project coordinator.

And so in that role, we um train law enforcement and community members about how to observe and report elder abuse.

Um many of the services we do hands-on, and so the clientele that we serve are involved in human trafficking, domestic violence, child abuse, elder abuse, stalking, domestic violence, and you hear that thinking younger people, but I've had cases, several cases on each one of those categories with elders.

And so it is in our community, and they deserve help and support, and that's what we do.

Well, we appreciate that you uh you do that, and that you're an advocate for those who need that assistance.

We should be, shouldn't we?

Amy, I just sorry.

We offer the opportunity to for up to five people to share for three minutes.

Uh is there anybody signed up?

Council President, we have two people requesting to speak, and our first speaker is Melissa Robinson.

Good evening, Mayor, City Council, members of the and citizen, uh fellow citizens of Napa.

My name is Melissa Sue Robinson, 155th Street North, Unit 210, NAPA.

Okay, now my speech is about renaming Liberty Park of 12th Avenue Road to Rick Hoganbaum Park, honoring the legacy of service and community.

Tonight I come before you with a proposal that is about more than reach uh changing a name on a sign.

It's about recognizing a person whose dedication, leadership, and commitment help shape our community.

I respectfully ask the city of Napa to consider renaming Liberty Park as Rick Hoganbaum Park and establishing a memorial within the park to honor his contributions.

Communities are built not only through old buildings and development projects, but through the efforts of individuals who dedicate themselves to serving others.

When someone in the best years of their life working to improve the quality of life for residents as service deserves to be remembered, naming a public space after such an individual creates a lasting reminder for future generations that leadership, compassion, and civic engagement matter.

Visitors could learn about a service to Napa and the role we played in helping our city grow and prosper.

Children playing in the park today may one day ask who Rick Oganbaum was.

Those who help guide that growth.

New residents arrive every day, and many may never know the individual or individuals who work tirelessly behind the scenes to make Napa the city it is today.

A park and memorial would ensure that this history is not forgotten.

Some may ask why we should rename an existing park.

My answer is simple.

Public spaces should reflect the people and values that have made our community stronger.

While the name Liberty Park carries meaning, honoring a local leader who devoted years of service to Napa and Canyon County provides a direct connection between our city's history and its future.

The memorial could include a plaque detailing Rick Hoganbaum's accomplishments, a landscape reflection area, and perhaps public artwork celebrating civic service.

Such project could become a point of uh pride for residents and visitors alike.

This proposal is not about politics, it's about gratitude.

It's about recognizing a life of service and ensuring that future generations understand the importance of giving back to one's community.

I encourage the city council to begin discussions with citizens, community leaders, and members of the Top family regarding the possibility of okay we we're there at time.

I appreciate you bringing it up because we've had those discussions.

We're in discussion.

And uh so at first uh some of the discussion, and and while we haven't all had it as a collective deal, because I've postponed waiting to get passed next week.

Uh we but I'm gonna say currently the the flavor is is to name a ballpark instead of a uh just park or a street, and so it was possibly to have uh a street and so forth, but with Rick's uh involvement in baseball, uh we think it'll be fitting to take uh some of the field areas in one of our parks and name uh the ball fields that hasn't been pitched before council, but council that's new information to some of you, some discussion amongst a couple of three, and so uh we are on track for that.

We just haven't taken the action yet.

Okay, I'm not a person that leaves and not listen to the council meeting because I'm very interested, but I'm losing my voice and I got I have to really have to get to it.

So thank you for sharing that information about the baseball.

Is there is uh these are comments available to folks uh non-public hearing?

So is there somebody else who has signed up?

And that would be Tyler Rogers.

Hello, City Council.

My name is Tyler Rogers.

Uh I live on 91 South Sky Drive here in Nampo.

Um I sent you guys an email just a few minutes ago.

I don't know if you can open up its PowerPoint, but um I live by West Middle School and uh or West that used to be a West Middle School, and um every time they're at the ballpark there, every time there's a um tournament going, whatever there's not I'm guessing there's not enough parking because there's people parked in the grass, and um so uh I have some photos on the PowerPoint since you guys and a proposed additional entrance to the parking or into the parking lot and additional parking.

Um, and then it'll this entrance will allow easier access to the park for cars and pedestrians on the uh south side of the park.

Um with that additional entrance, uh that'll cause a lot more traffic on Skydrive where I live, and I would propose that if we were to add more parking and another entrance that we'd put some speed bumps down sky drive.

It's already having we already have an issue with cars driving too fast down sky drive, anyways.

So that's about it.

Council president.

May I ask questions?

Tyler, where is Skydrive?

Is it on the south or north?

Uh it's the old Bonnie Bray subdivision, south on the south side of the South Park, yeah.

Yeah, that's that's a great idea.

Thank you for that.

Council president.

Yes.

Is Cody able to address this at all?

I know he wasn't prepared for it, but just looking through this presentation regarding has any damage come from the parking on those facilities.

Is that uh coordinated by the parks department, or is that something that they're doing on their own accord?

Is he oh I thought I saw you walk in.

Sorry, Cody, it's your lucky day.

Uh Cody Swander, Napa Parks and Recreation Uh Department Director, um, Council President and Councilman Griffin.

Um, the parking for these tournaments are really at the discretion of the tournament, whoever's holding the tournament.

So we had a private tournament over the weekend that was very busy.

Um we do not encourage parking on the grass.

In fact, in their when they sign the agreement, it says that they should not park on the grass.

We expect them to fill the lot and public parking along the streets, but we do know that it spills over into the neighborhoods.

Great.

Thank you.

No other persons have signed up, but is there anybody here wishing to address the council's three minute limit?

Not seeing anybody.

We'll uh move towards uh is there any amendments to the agenda, council.

So need a motion to adopt the till move agenda.

Second, we have a motion and a second.

All in favor say aye.

Aye.

Aye.

There's a uh change to our agenda, so I'm gonna pause for a moment in case uh folks are here for our public hearing.

The public hearing that's been noticed is uh the applicant has requested this meeting to uh be postponed until July 20th.

And so when we get to that part of the agenda, we will open it and then we will have a motion and a second and a vote to postpone it to July 20th.

So if anybody's here for that public hearing dealing with the variance uh on a freestanding monument signs, uh light industrial.

Just want to give you the heads up that uh that change is going to take place.

You're not sitting here longer than you may want to.

Okay.

Back to consent agenda.

Need a motion uh to adopt a consent agenda.

Second.

All in favor say aye.

Aye.

Aye moving forward, public works.

Tom staff communications.

Evening, council president and council uh Tom Point, Senior Public Works Director for the record.

Um, so I'm gonna introduce Kelly Black, our communication manager, to give you a report out on some of the communications he's done on our water initiative.

She's doing a really good job of getting the word out on all the different one water things that we've got going on in Nampa with stormwater, irrigation water, groundwater, and now reuse water.

And so I do want to point out that we've done a lot of work to communicate out the importance of reuse in the past, you know, to get the project over the finish line and get it built.

But we're never done, we're not done.

It's a constant education to the community on the value of this water and the safety of the water, and it's very important, especially this year with a pending drought that we have 5,000 acre feet of water to work with, which is 15% of our total demand in our irrigation system.

So it's it's significant.

So Kelly's been doing a good job of talking about this the project and other water initiatives, so I'd like to turn some time to her.

Thank you, Tom.

Council President, Counselors.

As Tom said, I'm Kelly Black.

I'm the Public Works Communication Manager.

And throughout the year, Public Works gets to engage students in various ways.

Uh, we really enjoy that, not just in comms, but across the whole public works team.

One of my favorite things as communication manager is to watch our staff in public works relate to students because they do such a good job connecting, and we think of future leaders in public works as well as all the STEM education things like that.

So we're gonna show two videos today just so you can get a glimpse into some of the great things we're doing with students.

The first is for water education days.

We had 650 students, fourth and fifth graders come over the course of two days.

We uh talked to them about like where does your water come from?

And surprisingly, quite a few said the sewer.

So we got to do some education from there.

And talk about the Aquifur groundwater surface water.

We also talked about how to protect and conserve our shared water resources.

And then we also had water safety focus.

So Crystal's gonna play this video for us.

So on your council write up, you'll see that we listed it all out.

But Idaho Power Canyon County Sheriffs, I mean, just a whole group of really neat people that came out and were a part of that.

So there were nine different booths.

A huge shout out to Parks.

Thank you for letting us you use Lakeview Park.

Um and it was a really really great date.

So come join us next year if you can, if you're available.

Um the other one we just had is our public works activity fair.

We run that during public works week.

We had 115 students, fourth and fifth graders, um, from central elementary this year, which was really neat.

And I think what's exciting on this one is again students get some ideas for careers, and they get the chance to really talk and interact with our staff.

So we just want to give you a taste of that event as well.

So that's our communication for today.

Any questions or anything?

Very good, very well done.

Well, thank you.

It's a wonderful team to be a part of it.

A good reminder to have you know what's going on behind the scenes and different areas of the city and all this happening.

So Rodney.

I'm sorry, I don't have a video.

Yeah.

Um so last week planning and zoning met and had several items before them that I'd like to report on.

The first one is uh conditional use permit for a non-commercial daycare for up to 12 children.

This was at 17050 North Gwynet Avenue.

And uh this was uh denied by the Planning and Zoning Commission over concerns about safety.

The next one was a conditional use permit for duplex in an RS6 zone at 221 to Aries Drive.

And this was uh conversion of a non-compliant or um non-compliant triplex to a not uh to a compliant duplex with the C UP, and this was approved.

And then the next one was annexation and zoning to RA zoning and RS 7 zoning for the Grace Bible Church.

And this was over by uh Midway Road and Lake Lowell Avenue.

Um this was approved by recommended for approval to you.

Um this will come before you on July 20th.

And then last of all, it was a conditional use permit for the Amazon Prime Air Integration.

Um this was drone delivery.

I'm sure you've seen it in the in the paper.

Um this was approved by city council, or excuse me, planning and zoning commission.

Council president.

Yes, on that final item, if I could ask a follow-up question.

Yes, sir.

I'm seeing conflicting opinions.

Is it coming before council or is it not coming before council?

Boise dev says it's come before council.

Other outlets say it was done in final with P and Z.

So can you clarify for us, please?

I sure can.

Yeah.

It a conditional use permit is approved or denied by the Planning and Zoning Commission.

However, uh they an interested party can appeal within the two weeks.

I think it's 15 days.

Um they can appeal that decision, and if it was appealed, they would need to come and um apply for that appeal, pay the fee, which is a 350 dollar fee, and then it would come before the the city council for a decision.

And that's a de novo, so it's it basically starts it over.

So all the information that was presented at planning and zoning would be the same opportunity you would have here.

But for now, it's it's done until that uh passes or somebody applies uh for the appeal.

That's correct.

Council president, may I ask a question?

Um Rodney, I had a um somebody come up to me and tell me that the um, and I don't know if this is accurate for sure or not, but you're the person to ask um for the Grace Bible, the rezoning on that.

Is that um with the current um comp plan?

The rezoning on that, or does that is the old comp plan being applied to that?

It's the current plan.

Okay, thank you.

Other questions for Rodney Appreciate it.

So new business.

Uh we're going to uh move to 5.1.

This is an action item.

Uh Matt, you're gonna be presenting, I assume, and we'll have some discussion.

Uh so this is not a public hearing, but it's a uh presentation and discussion.

Uh the the item is to allocate $97,404 community development block grant funding for public service to the activities selected, and so it's in our packet as to the various uh possibles and uh council as you may recall will need to have discussion and allocate funds or confirm the allocation that's been presented to us.

Uh good evening, council president and council.

Uh Matt Jameson Economic and Community Development Department.

And yeah, we are here tonight.

Um to finish the process we started uh at the previous uh public hearing and finalize the recipients of our public service funds.

Uh we've we've already successfully applied funds to an administration planning and non-public service, and we just held off on the allocation portion of the public service uh till tonight.

Um staff will ask council as a recommendation to allocate to four of the eight um eligible applicants uh and an applying an equal share of 24 351 to each of them because for the majority of them they all uh ask for more than we have to give on an equal share.

Um this is for two reasons uh funding constraints.

We just want to make sure we can give a meaningful amount that will help um meet the needs of their budget and also our capacity to administer and monitor those activities as they move forward from the program here.

And then uh due to HUD's guidance, we've also gonna this year ask just to apply a fifth um identify a fifth applicant that we can hold in our plan as an alternate to the the four that will receive funding in case for some reason an applicant is unable to proceed with an activity as funded.

Uh that will allow us to just quickly pivot and move the money to somebody additional.

That's something that how does ask us to do in most of the things we do now, just have an alternate in mind.

Um, just as a quick summary of the public service applicants, those were all presented in the public hearing.

Um their activities and a summary was provided in this packet, but uh this particular uh graph is just kind of highlighting our our five-year consolidated plan and what we funded within it so far.

But uh, this particular uh graph is just kind of highlighting our our five-year consolidated plan and what we funded within it so far.

Um this is going to be our 2026 program year, which is the last year of our five-year consolidated plan.

Um, in this particular chart, you'll see that we've uh we've funded areas in in similar color are meeting a similar priority need identified in our plan.

So we've got uh the yellow is for use services, uh, purple was for homelessness assistance, blue is homelessness prevention, and then domestic violence assistance, uh senior services, and then um substance use and mental health.

Uh so far to date, we've been able to reach um three uh of those categories, uh, four of those categories, excuse me, uh, through various years of funding, but we have not so far had qualifying applicants come forward in youth services and in uh substance use and mental health.

So this year we have uh three applicants that met those needs.

And so I just wanted to highlight uh the level of funding that have been received over the years and the ones that have not.

Uh again, similarly in the level of accomplishments, we've been able to achieve accomplishments in uh areas of homelessness assistance, homelessness prevention, domestic violence, senior services, uh, but not in youth services and mental health, which are all part of our our identified priority needs and our outreach to the community at the beginning of this five-year plan.

Uh and so the this is just uh kind of a listing of the accomplishments that have achieved so far today.

Uh and finally, this is uh what should have been in your packet.

It is slightly organized differently.

I I grouped them again by the priority need their meeting, just so it's easier to see what we're funding.

Um, but this is um I guess the level of funding that the applicant has requested the applicant's score and the review process, and then the number of beneficiaries that they'd be assisting, and then in the highlighted in yellow, it indicates the activities that we have not funded previously, and then the ones that have so the substance of substance use uh and mental health support and use services again.

We have not uh been able to have an applicant that met the qualifications we needed, and this year we have three, so we have an opportunity to fund those.

Um but at this point, I think the if you anyone had any questions or if you had a uh something you'd already know how you'd like to fund.

Council President Councilman Griffin.

Thank you.

Uh could you just explain to me, please, Matt?

I uh from my mind, and this might not be the majority's uh opinion.

I'd like to find at least three programs fully uh just based off their demand and what they're expected to produce.

And I'm curious if the fourth is only able to get a portion of that after I look at the numbers.

I'm looking at giving NAMPA Family Justice Center the full 30,000 meals on wheels the full 24,000.

Uh which is the next Salvation Army, the full 30,000, and then that leaves the remainder 13,404.

Would that be sufficient for Jesse Tree to be able to implement anything on their end?

Because if it's not, I would be interested in them passing that 13,000 to the boys and girls club of NAMPA.

Can you count?

I uh well, I would I would say it I don't know.

Um they primarily put their assistance towards rent um and homelessness prevention, so they're trying to keep someone in the in-housing, and so they're typically providing between one and three months rent assistance, usually getting them out of arrears, plus maybe sometimes a month to get them stabilized and then moving forward.

15 would probably be used up into maybe three households.

So I don't know if it would go far enough to be worth it.

Plus, we have a uh uh regular, not a regulatory, but uh an operations sort of guideline that we don't fund under 15,000.

So we'd want to meet at least our own internal operating, uh just because it's that's not enough money to justify our monitoring and staffing that particular it's a lot of work that goes into making sure they stay on top of things.

We want to get as many people as we can.

So uh, but if that's the route you'd like to go, I'd at least suggest we fund them at 15 and then maybe subtract some from the others.

Um I can pull up a spreadsheet if you want, and we can do that in real time so you can see the budget levels and where people would land.

Well, if I if we're looking at that number, it's 532 dollars from each of the remaining to be able to get that fourth option up to 15,000.

So 532 subtracted by but that might be the totally different direction than when council's going.

I might be in a rabbit hole here.

I just see that uh, especially for my district, meals and wheels is a first priority, and I want to see them fully funded, so that's why I'm advocating for that.

The family justice center, obviously, same report 260 individuals from that budget.

Unfortunately, in the Salvation Army, a hundred individuals with Jesse Tree, they've requested 50,000.

With Jesse Tree, they've requested 50,000.

We're not even going to be able to give them half of that.

So the number really would have to be skewed down pretty significantly, and that's why then go to boys and girls clubs.

So that's where my thought is council.

I don't know if anybody has the same appetite or we just can you just re brief restate which ones you wanted to fully fund the three?

I apologize.

Nappa Family Justice Center, Meals and Wheels and Salvation Army.

And so that would be this is what your recommendation now would look like, but we would maybe modify that to the fifth.

Okay.

And we can certainly look at that.

The uh I don't know if anyone else has any comments or if they're if that sounds good.

Council President.

Yes.

I'll wait to share my thoughts.

I think every year we uh ponder over this.

They're all great programs, and we've uh spread the money around accordingly.

Um to enterprises on various years.

I like what staff's recommended, and I'm for leaving it like it is first staff recommendation.

So with our uh what's in our packet is blank far as uh recommendations, so oh it didn't come through on that.

The so I guess so what I I'm just trying to see your numbers now.

Oh, I see to the notes.

Can you increase the size of what's on the screen?

Was there a recommendation of programs that you had recommended as well?

I didn't see that.

Uh we did not uh put forth a uh specific recipient recommendation for funding this year.

I think we were I think uh in the prior meeting you had asked to see the the actual scores, so we we provided those.

Um it for me I would want to see if if I'm making a recommendation, I would say that I would want to try to address some of the unmet needs that we have not met so far in our consolidated plan at the outset.

Those were the five things that were identified by the community as high priority, so use services and substance use and mental health were among those.

Um we just hadn't been able to reach those yet.

So my staff recommendation would be that we try to tackle one of those and then um and then fund the others as as you deem appropriate.

I would always uh as in general lead to the kind of the highest scoring in each category, just as a way to be as fair as we can.

But yes, uh my recommendation would be to try to lease fund some of the things I think you might have.

Uh for instance, boys and girls club or the SIRCC would be my recommendation, but that's just I'm just my goal is to try to capture as many of the things the community said we needed as we possibly can.

You have a preference between those two.

I know one scores higher than the other, and I think boys and girls club often gets a lot of support from the community, so I I might lean more towards this the latter, but they're both I mean they're both meeting uh a need in the community.

I think they've um boys and girls club have kept their costs low, they've and try to include as many families as they can, but I think that as they try to expand and reach more kids, I think that becomes more difficult, and then SIRCC, same thing.

They're they're they're trying to reach a housing demographic that maybe a lot of our other housing providers aren't necessarily tapping into where it's um uh individuals that are coming out of either incarceration or some sort of uh program that where they're needing some kind of uh housing for um sober living or things like that, they may not be addressed by some of the other housing providers.

So they are meeting sort of a niche um segment of the housing market, uh, but they are again not my favorite part of the year.

Uh all of these are really great programs, and it's I wish that HUD would increase the funding level for this type of activity so we could fund more, but uh and I apologize.

I was in the process of making this bigger for you.

Sorry, Councilmember Bills.

Yeah, uh the order that's on the screen is different from the order that's in our packet.

Yeah, I I I did that just because I realized that it might be helpful to see them grouped in the same activity style that they're in.

So if they're homelessness prevention, I apologize for that.

It might have been confusing.

This now helps, thank you.

Can you see the whole thing?

I can't tell.

Oh, okay.

Yeah, we can see it.

On my screen, it's all on.

We're just gonna pause for a couple minutes so that we can study the order.

Council President question?

Yes, sir.

So Matt, every year it seems to be that catch and Jesse Tree, and at times the family justice center have the same uh direction regarding hope homelessness.

So I is it is it mean it wrong to assume that they're doing the same thing?

Uh working in cooperation with each other, yeah.

They're not necessarily doing the same thing.

Catch is doing uh what they would um they call it a our path home.

It's uh basically considered a rapid rehousing program, I believe.

So they're taking a family that's in a state of homelessness and they're helping them navigate into stable housing and then through case management helping them become more financially stable and find ways to stay stably housed.

Whereas Jesse Tree is on the opposite side of the spectrum, they're trying to prevent a family or household from becoming evicted and becoming household, which creates barriers to them gaining access to housing in the future.

So on a on a cost perspective, they're both doing like something our community needs.

I think Jesse Tree, the the return on investment is oftentimes a little higher.

They can they can provide two months worth of rent and get keep someone in their house who might have just had a medical bill or something happened, a car breakdown, loss of a job, and they're back to work, whatever it might be.

And so that prevents them from needing so much assistance on the back end if they're homeless to get them back into housing, it's quite a bit more expensive with deposits, first and last month's rent kind of stuff, um, and then and then rent and then the case management needed to keep them in that house over the course of a year.

So it the cost on the back end of somebody who's homeless is more expensive than on the front end.

So they're they're kind of addressing different needs of the housing spectrum, but they're both trying to get people and keep people stably housed, but they're not doing the same program.

Um was there another one you asked about?

But I I would say there's not they're they're Jesse Tree and Ketch are not performing the same activity, but they're they're addressing the issues on the opposite sides of the housing spectrum.

Okay.

Follow up, sir.

Yes.

Um, so this is what I'm looking at.

Um, and in priority, the meals on wheels uh serves 250, and uh family justice center 260 as well.

Uh I would like to reduce the family and then be family justice center to 15,000 and give that 15 to meals on wheels.

And uh the boys and girls club of Canyon County because they serve a lot of other and uh was the other one uh salvation army.

I don't know if any else agrees with me, but something on the mountains maybe wanting to shift the funding from family just center down to uh meals on wheels.

That's correct, sir.

And the reason I say that is that if you notice every time uh the family just center goes out and they find their grants and they're funded as much as they can get funding from, and these individuals these uh organizations don't have that luxury.

That's why I'm saying remove some of that from NAMPA family.

I don't want to say that, but I'm sorry I have to go ahead.

I know that you already said it, but I was processing numbers.

The Jesse Tree with the 15,000.

Can you tell us how much that's gonna how many people that's gonna be able to help?

Uh I think the their average number of uh like uh eviction intervention is I think they range somewhere between depending on the person's rent, um, anywhere from like 900 to you know 1800 per household, just depends on uh if they need one or two months rent, they gotta sometimes get them out of the month that they're behind, sometimes they're two and three months behind because most of their they oftentimes step in when somebody's at the point of being evicted, they've been served a letter, they're being evicted.

Uh that's sort of the ones that they prioritize, kind of like a triage, they're just the ones that are most at risk of being uh evicted.

They'll step in and uh help navigate that.

So it it just depends on the cost of the the rent for the particular household they're dealing with, but I think we would see on average somewhere between uh depending on the the how far behind they are, it's anywhere from nine to probably even three thousand per household um with just the amount of assistance.

I think they also um get other funds that they they can then that are not restricted by a boundary of the city like ours are, and so they they can take those additional funds and they direct them towards our community.

So while they might use uh 1,500 or 2,000 of our dollars, they're also supplementing that with other funds so that the the total amount that they're behind there, I think they're sort of leveraging all the resources to spread it out and get as many people as they can and also use the others and try to maximize, I think the benefits so they're helping somebody, but not always all of it is from us.

I think it's a mix of funding, so um it may sound low idea of having it there, it's actionary versus reactionary.

So I think they go together.

I think you did I you did a good job.

Thank you.

Council President, if I could make a comment.

Yes, I'll I'll wait to share my thoughts.

Go ahead.

No, you please if you want.

I just was gonna respond the councilwoman January, just for basing it off the dollars, it's about 22 people from strict numbers, not from your explanation.

Your explanation was perfect.

I'm just saying from strict numbers from what was proposed and funding requested breakdowns.

The at the 50,000 it'd be 22.

The 50,000, it would be 75, but if you divide 50,000 by 75, it ends up being 666 times that you ultimately get 22 people.

Yeah, so again, I think they're leveraging funds, so there it wouldn't be a direct um dollar for dollar, but they're they are leveraging other funds, so ours are sort of supplementative in that process.

But so my notes uh match uh close to what you have, Matt, with the exception of switching the dollar amounts on Salvation Army and Mills on Wheels.

So I had close to I had the 30 on mills on wills and the 24 Salvation Army 15 at Jesse Tree.

Uh do you guys so Victor, I understand what you're you're suggesting is more towards uh the mills on wills.

Um which is what I had up to close to the 30 amount.

Okay.

If we reverse those two, then we got a pretty even from my perspective.

So it wouldn't change.

It wouldn't change the amount.

The total amount that is.

Are we able to give more than what was requested?

They requested 24,000.

Is it appropriate for us to go to 30?

Because I'd love to give them 30.

We we can.

I think the and I know be just in conversations, I know that they can always use the funding.

It uh in pri in most of these cases our funding goes towards staff time.

So if we're helping pay for staff time, we're always freeing up money that they can do use to expand their programs.

Um in general, we try to as a just a general rule, we try to fund what they've asked for.

Um I think um asking for 20 24,000, they probably have done the math and realize that an equal share of the amount of in our presentation prior was uh at the application um uh seminar thing we did with all the applicants, they probably realize that was their proportion of shares.

They probably asked for that based on that number.

You know, and historically they've asked for more.

They've usually asked for closer to 30 in their in their ask.

Councilman Reynolds.

Did we fund catch or Jesse Tree?

Uh we fund catch.

Yep.

And then um the application review score.

Typically, do you use that for weighting your criteria?

Yeah, we often do um, especially when they're when they're coming from the same activity, so they're they're trying to meet the same need, we will look at the scores and we would we would normally rank those by uh by the score, and oftentimes, like in this case, uh applicants that had not received funding prior, uh the scoring process gave them a little bump in points.

Um it was an effort to try to make sure maybe newer nonprofits or ones that hadn't been funded before got uh fair run at the funding.

Um but yeah, we typically prioritize um the score uh if they're similar under the similar um activity type, and we we wouldn't want to ever fund two of the same thing.

We can avoid it.

And just for clarity, uh did anyone want me to change those numbers to what you proposed so we can see where we're at with that?

Well, I'm gonna make a motion to kind of get us off dead center.

We reverse the two numbers between Salvation Army and Mills on Wills.

So the Mills on Wills would be at the 29,468, and Salvation Army would be at the 23,460.

Leave family justice as you have it, and leave uh Jesse Tree as you have it.

That would be my motion.

Question is if there's a second.

Council President, as soon as I can see what that I want to look at it.

Okay, Council President.

Let's hold for a moment.

I apologize.

It's zoomed in so much, it's oh I'm gonna use this screen.

I can actually see all of it on that one.

It zoomed in so much of mine I can't see the whole thing.

I'll use the one you guys are looking at to you.

That makes more sense.

So I've got 16.

I'm a little 16 long here.

So I'm guessing you're wanting to leave that with uh the larger share.

The mules on wheels.

Yes, right.

Correct.

Mills on wheels would be 500 even, 29.5.

To get to the 15,000, you need to be able to produce us from the others.

Boy, council president.

Yes.

Could I recommend that we actually swap from Jesse Tree to Boys and Girls Club?

And the reason being, Matt had also recommended that we either fund Boys and Girls Club or how do I say it, CERC?

Uh I think so.

S I S I R C C he he determined that those two are at need for the community that we haven't funded in the past.

Uh Jesse Tree has been funded in the past, so maybe rather than Jesse Tree, we give the 15,000 to the boys and girls club, who would then be able to support 35 rather than 22.

Council President another option.

My my concern is is that uh I mean it it's good that we support boys and girls club.

We do that in a certain way as it is.

Um but um having had to deal with it back in my early years of career of unlawful detainers and removing people from their homes and the difficulty of that.

Um that uh I feel it's important that as a city and over sight of these funds that it's important that there is some stopgap measures to assist.

Some are chronic and some are truly hit a hit a problem and they need assistance, and so I'm sensitive to uh that issue having uh personally uh been on the side of asking somebody to leave uh and getting court orders to have them do so.

And uh I've seen the good and I've seen the chronic.

And so I for me, I still think it's important to have uh some homelessness assistance.

I'll second the motion.

I uh gonna say point of order.

I was gonna second your motion.

So take in.

You had a motion on the I had a motion, and we didn't get a second.

I was seconding it when you started talking.

So I started below the eighty, yeah.

So anyway, uh I like it the way it is.

Thank you.

We have a motion and a second for clarity.

It's how the is the screen is now uh set as far as the uh funding approval.

So if I understand that's Nam Family Just Center, um Salvation Army, Jesse Tree and Mills on Wheels is what I'm showing.
