[4. U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Hill Country Flood support and disaster response roles and procedures - Joe Uviedo, HUD, San Antonio Field Office Director.]

UH, MR. GO IS WITH AND THE SAN ANTONIO FIELD OFFICE DIRECTOR.

GOOD MORNING, JOE.

GOOD MORNING.

GOOD MORNING.

WE JUST MOVE, WE MAKE A BRIEF PRESENTATION, UH, THIS MORNING.

AGAIN, AGAIN, MY NAME IS, UH, JOE .

I'M THE ACTING FIELD OFFICE DIRECTOR AT THE, UH, US DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING URBAN DEVELOPMENT, UH, FIELD OFFICE HERE IN SAN ANTONIO.

UH, SO WE WILL HAVE SOME HANDOUTS, UH, FOR YOU.

UH, I'M GONNA PROVIDE MY CONTACT INFORMATION SO THAT, UH, YOU'LL HAVE A WAY TO CONTACT HUD IN, IN THE AFTERMATH, AFTERMATH OF THE STORMS. AND AS WE'RE INTO THE RECOVERY STAGE, WANTED TO JUST SPEAK A BIT ABOUT THE, UH, THE FEDERAL PROGRESSION OF ASSISTANCE, WHICH I'M SURE MANY OF YOU ARE ALREADY FAMILIAR WITH.

BUT, UH, JUST JUST TO MAKE SURE THAT, UH, WE GIVE THIS BRIEF PRESENTATION SO THAT EVERYONE UNDERSTANDS, UH, WHERE SOME OF THE DIFFERENT FEDERAL AGENCIES, UH, FIT INTO ASSISTING, UH, THOSE THAT WERE IMPACTED.

UH, THE FIRST THING THAT I'D LIKE TO, UH, ALSO LET YOU KNOW IS THAT, UH, THE SECRETARY OF HUD, UH, SCOTT TURNER PROVIDED A, UH, A RECENT, UH, UH, PRESS RELEASE THAT, UH, THAT, UH, UH, ISSUED A RECENT PRESS RELEASE THAT PROVIDED FOR A 90 DAY FORECLOSURE MORATORIUM OF ON FEDERAL HOUSING ADMINISTRATION INSURED SINGLE FAMILY MORTGAGES, UH, IN KERR COUNTY, TEXAS.

SO THERE'LL BE A COPY OF THAT IN YOUR PACKET.

UM, AND THEN ALSO, UH, I PRINTED OUT THIS MORNING, JUST FOR YOUR REFERENCE, THE, THE LATEST UPDATED, UH, UH, FEMA DECLARED, UH, COUNTIES.

AND, AND SO THAT'S, UH, OF COURSE, THAT STARTED WITH CARR COUNTY AND HAS BEEN EXPANDED NOW.

AND SO, UH, FEMA IN THE ORDER OF, UH, FEDERAL, UH, ASSISTANCE, FEMA, FEMA'S ALWAYS FIRST, FIRST ON THE GROUND AFTER A DISASTER.

AND SO, UM, THE, THE DESIGNATION STARTED WITH KIRK COUNTY AND SINCE HAS BEEN EXPANDED.

SO IN, IN THE PACKET OF INFORMATION WE LEAVE AS OF TODAY, WE'LL, WE'LL LEAVE A COPY OF, UH, THOSE, UH, AREAS THAT HAVE BEEN DESIGNATED THOSE COUNTIES FOR EITHER, UH, INDIVIDUAL ASSISTANCE OR PUBLIC ASSISTANCE.

AND AGAIN, THIS IS FEMA, SO I'M NOT GONNA SPEAK FOR THAT AGENCY.

BUT, UH, JUST JUST TO MENTION THAT INDIVIDUAL ASSISTANCE FOR, FOR WHICH, UH, THOSE THAT WERE, FOR EXAMPLE, UH, YOU KNOW, DISPLACED BY THE FLOODS CAN, UH, GO DIRECTLY ONSITE WHERE FEMA IS SET UP AND, UH, REGISTER AND APPLY FOR, UH, ASSISTANCE THAT THEY MIGHT NEED.

THOSE COUNTIES RIGHT NOW INCLUDE, UH, BURN BURNETT, UH, KERR, SAN SABA, TOM GREEN, TRAVIS, AND WILLIAMSON COUNTIES.

AND THEN THERE IS,

[00:05:01]

AND THERE MIGHT BE ENTITIES IN THE AREA.

I'M NOT GONNA, AGAIN, SPEAK FOR FEMA, BUT, BUT JUST TO REFERENCE, UH, THE PUBLIC ASSISTANCE, UH, IS GONNA BE AVAILABLE FOR, UH, BURNETT, KENDALL KERR, KIMBALL, UH, LANO, MASON MC MCCULLOCH, UH, MAYNARD SAN SABA, AND TOM GREEN COUNTIES.

UH, SO THAT'S AS OF RIGHT NOW.

AND, UH, AS WE CONTINUE TO WATCH AND, AND MONITOR THE CHANGING, UH, WEATHER, IF, IF, UH, THERE'S ANY MORE IMPACT, YOU KNOW, IT'S ALWAYS SUBJECT TO, TO CHANGE OF IF MORE, UH, UH, NEEDS TO, TO, TO CHANGE THERE.

AND THEN AFTER, UH, AND, AND MAYBE ALONGSIDE ALSO WITH FEMA, WE'RE GONNA TALK ABOUT THE, UH, THE SMALL BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION.

SO IN THE PACKET I'M LEAVING YOU, THERE'S ALSO THE PRESS RELEASE FROM THE SMALL BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION.

UH, THAT REFERENCE IS WHAT, UH, WHAT'S AVAILABLE FROM THE SMALL BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION.

UH, YOU KNOW, AS, AS, UH, THE AGENCY'S NAME, YOU KNOW, WOULD INDICATE THEY, THEY WOULD HAVE, UH, ASSISTANCE OR LOANS FOR SMALL BUSINESSES.

UH, BUT, BUT I DO SEE FROM THEIR PRESS RELEASE, YOU KNOW, THEY ALSO MENTION, UH, HOMEOWNERS AND RENTERS, UH, ELIGIBLE TO APPLY FOR HOME AND PERSONAL PROPERTY LOANS AND, UH, MAY BORROW UP TO A HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS.

SO, AGAIN, I'M JUST REFERENCING THEIR MATERIAL.

UH, SO THEN THERE'S, THERE'S ONE OTHER, UH, TYPE OF FEDERAL ASSISTANCE THAT I WANTED TO MENTION.

IT'S CALLED, UH, UH, C-D-B-G-D-R, WHICH STANDS FOR COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT, DISASTER RECOVERY.

UM, SO I'LL LEAVE SOME INFORMATION IN YOUR PACKET.

AND THERE'S A LITTLE, UH, UH, FLOW CHART THAT SHOWS THAT THAT ACTUALLY, UH, IS AVAILABLE, UH, ONLY IF AND WHEN IT'S AUTHORIZED BY CONGRESS.

SO, SO THAT WOULD BE PERHAPS A MORE DELAYED, UH, FORM OF ASSISTANCE, MAYBE A LITTLE BIT MORE LONG TERM.

UH, AND, AND SO IF IT IS AUTHORIZED, THEN, UH, IT DOES FLOW THROUGH HUD, UM, AND THEN, UH, POTENTIALLY TO TWO SUBRECIPIENTS THAT, THAT WOULD THEN FURTHER ALLOCATE THOSE FUNDS.

UM, SO, SO NOT SOMETHING THAT NECESSARILY WOULD BE IMMEDIATELY AVAILABLE.

AND, AND THAT'S AN ONGOING PROGRAM.

SO I JUST PUT AGAIN, SOME INFORMATION ON THE C-D-B-G-D-R PROGRAM, UH, SO THAT YOU HAVE THAT.

SO THAT'S REALLY WHAT WE WANTED TO DO TODAY, UM, WAS, UH, JUST TO PROVIDE YOU THAT OVERVIEW SO THAT AS THINGS ARE HAPPENING IN, IN YOUR COMMUNITIES, UH, IN YOUR COUNTIES, UH, YOU HAVE A WAY TO KIND OF, UH, UNDERSTAND THE, THE PERSPECTIVE OF, UH, HOW THINGS WORK WITH, WITH FEDERAL ASSISTANCE.

AND HOPEFULLY THIS, UH, HELPS, YOU KNOW, AS FOLKS ARE TRYING TO, TO NAVIGATE, UH, AT THIS TIME.

THAT'S REALLY, THAT'S REALLY, UM, THE, THE ONLY, UH, POINTS, POINTS THAT WE HAVE TO MAKE.

AND, AND WE APPRECIATE YOUR TIME AND, AND AGAIN, OUR, OUR HEARTS GO UP TO ALL THOSE THAT WERE IMPACTED BY THE ANCE AND FLOODS.

THANK YOU.

THANK YOU.

WE HAVE ANY DISCUSSION? YEAH.

UM, SO WERE THERE ANY KIND OF DELAYS IN THE VICTIMS GETTING ASSISTANCE BECAUSE OF THE CUTS AT THE FEDERAL LEVEL? SO I CAN SPEAK, I CAN SPEAK FOR, AGAIN, ACROSS THE ENTIRE FEDERAL LEVEL, RIGHT? FOR HUT, UH, FOR HUT FOR HUT, BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE ANY, UH, DIRECT FUNDS, UH, THAT, THAT, THAT WOULD BE INVOLVED IN, IN THE IMMEDIATE, UH, DISASTER, DISASTER RECOVERY.

UH, THERE, THERE'S NO'S NO FUNDS TO, TO, TO REALLY SPEAK OF THERE.

I'LL TELL YOU, I'LL TELL YOU, UM, ONE OF THE THINGS WE, WE DO IN THE FIELD, IN THE FIELD OFFICE IS THAT WE START, UH, TO WORK BY CON CONTACTING, UH, DOING A PRELIMINARY IMPACT ASSESSMENT.

SO, SO WE START TO CONTACT THOSE IN, IN THOSE IMPACTED, UH, COUNTIES THAT WOULD, UH, HAVE OUR, UH, FUNDING FROM OUR PROGRAM.

SO, FOR EXAMPLE, UM, I ALSO AM THE ACTING DIRECTOR FOR PUBLIC HOUSING RIGHT NOW.

UM, I, I WILL TELL YOU, WE HAD, UH, IN, IN BURNETT COUNTY, UM, I THINK IT WAS 38 FAMILIES THAT WERE DISPLACED FROM, UH, PUBLIC HOUSING BY, BY FLOODS.

AND SO, UH, BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE A DIRECT, UH, FUNDING FOR,

[00:10:01]

AND, AND SO WE, WE KIND OF MOVE INTO, UH, INTO THAT ROLE.

AND, AND THAT HAPPENS IMMEDIATELY.

AND, AND JUST SO YOU KNOW, JUST SO IN THERE, IN ANOTHER, THERE IS ANOTHER TEMPORARY HOME FOR NOW, THEY'RE IN TEMPORARY SHELTER SOMEWHERE IN HOTELS RIGHT NOW.

AND SO, UM, I, I THINK WE JUST GOT THE APPROVAL YESTERDAY FOR, FOR THE, UH, TEMPORARY VOUCHERS AND, AND ONGOING, AS I SPEAK RIGHT NOW, UH, FOLKS ARE, ARE, ARE WORKING TO, TO FINALIZE A PROCESS TO PUT THOSE VOUCHERS IN THEIR HANDS SO THEY CAN SEARCH.

I THINK ALSO IN, UH, UH, UP IN, IN TOM GREEN COUNTY, WE, WE HAD, UH, LIKE TWO, UH, REPORTED, UH, VOUCHER HOLDERS THAT WERE DISPLACED BY FLOODING.

SO THEY WERE ISSUED NEW VOUCHERS BY THAT HOUSING AUTHORITY.

THEY WERE ABLE TO DIRECTLY ASSIST.

BUT, BUT WE DO TRY TO CONTACT ALL, UH, OF THE HOUSING AUTHORITIES, UH, FOR, FOR THE PUBLIC HOUSING PROGRAM.

AND HUD HAS DIFFERENT PARTS OF THE AGENCY.

SO WE, WE HAVE FOLKS CONTACTING THE CITIES, UH, YOU KNOW, TO, TO LEARN OF THEIR IMPACT.

AND, AND SO YOU HAVE A LOT OF DIFFERENT PARTS OF OF THE AGENCY RIGHT NOW THAT ARE MOVING.

SO I WOULD SAY I COULD SPEAK FOR HUD, I CAN'T SPEAK FOR THE OTHER AGENCIES, UH, BUT, BUT THAT'S WHAT WE'VE BEEN DOING SINCE THE, THE STORM.

SO ALSO HAVE ANY KIND OF FUNDING TO HELP REBUILD, UH, THAT'S, THAT'S NOT SOMETHING THAT WE'RE DOING IMMEDIATELY.

ANY OTHER, GO AHEAD, MR. HADLOCK AT THE GAME WARDENS AND ASKED RON HOW MUCH, HOW MANY HE WAS GOING TO DO.

I KNEW THE TEXAS RANGERS AND DPS WERE ALREADY NOTIFIED.

UM, I TALKED TO MARCELLA AT ACOG, I TALKED TO CLIFF HERBERG, UH, BRETT SNYDER THAT WORKS FOR ME AT 9 1 1.

AND THEN, UH, SHERMAN RAEY AT COMAL COUNTY.

AND THEN ALSO, UM, UH, JUDGE SAKA A LITTLE AFTER EIGHT O'CLOCK IN THE MORNING.

BUT CLIFF AND I HAD SEVERAL PHONE CALLS ALONG WITH MARCELLA, AND, UH, IT'S A TRAGIC SITUATION.

AND, UH, BUT THERE WERE ASSETS THAT HAD BEEN MOVED IN ACCORDING TO NIM, UH, THREE DAYS PRIOR TO THIS.

AND SO BETWEEN WHAT HE WAS DOING, WHAT THE GOVERNOR'S OFFICE WAS DOING, WHAT THE LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR WAS DOING, ET CETERA, UM, THEY WERE HEAVILY MOBILIZED AND MOVING ASSETS IN, INTO THAT AREA.

SO CLIFF, THANK YOU FOR TAKING MY CALLS AND THANK YOU.

SO, AND JUDGE EVANS, YOU'RE THE ONLY ONE I DIDN'T CALL, BECAUSE I KNOW YOU'RE, YOU'RE THE BACKUP .

WE'RE USED TO THOSE FLOODS, , BUT I, I WOULD SAY THAT, UH, I'VE BEEN THROUGH, WHAT, THREE, 500 YEAR FLOODS IN 30 YEARS AS JUDGE, OF COURSE, YOU ARE THE EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT COORDINATOR.

THIS HAS PROBABLY BEEN THE BEST RESPONSE I'VE EVER SEEN TO A FLOODING SITUATION.

YOU, THE COAST GUARD, BEING THERE WITH THE NIGHT VISION, INFRARED, UH, PARKS AND WILDLIFE, VPS TDOT, I MEAN, IT, IT'S THE BEST RESPONSE I'VE EVER SEEN IN, IN 30 YEARS.

SO IT IS, UH, IT'S UNFORTUNATE.

IT WAS THE, THE PERFECT STORM, AS THEY SAY.

YOU KNOW, BOTH FORESTS CAME DOWN, CAME MYSTICS HERE, A HUNDRED YEARS, ALMOST NEVER BEEN FLOODED.

WHO WOULD EVER THINK WOULD HAPPEN, BUT, BUT IT DID HAPPEN.

BUT THERE, THERE'S SOME THINGS WE HAVE TO, TO TALK ABOUT.

AND MAYBE THE, WE'LL QUIT FUNDING THE FILM INDUSTRY AND WORRY ABOUT PEOPLE WHO LIVE HERE IN TEXAS, A SPECIAL SESSION, AND GIVE US SOME MONEY TO TAKE CARE OF OUR, OF OUR CITIZEN.

'CAUSE WE DO NEED SOME HELP.

YEAH, WE HAVE COMMUNICATIONS GAP.

I MEAN, THE ALERTS WENT OUT.

I MEAN, I WAS UP, I GOT THE ALERTS, EVERYTHING ELSE.

BUT IF

[00:15:01]

SO, SO IT DOES NO GOOD.

YOU HAVE TO HAVE SOMEBODY RECEIVE NOT TO SEND IT.

SO WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT SOME TYPE OF, OF SYSTEM UP THERE.

WE'RE GONNA MEET TONIGHT IN MEDINA COUNTY TO DISCUSS OUR AREA DOWN THERE, BUT, UH, THERE'S A LOT OF THINGS CAN BE DONE.

BUT I THINK, BUT THIS WAS THE BEST RESPONSE I'VE EVER SEEN IN THE HILL COUNTRY.

SO I, I THINK THEY, THEY DID A GOOD JOB.

NI NIM DID A GOOD JOB, GOT PEOPLE MOBILIZED, BUT, BUT HAVING THE COAST GUARD THERE WITH THOSE HELICOPTERS, WITH THE INFRARED AND ALL THAT, THAT, THAT WAS, YOU KNOW, WHAT THEY RESCUED A HUNDRED AND SOMETHING KIDS.

SO, YOU KNOW THAT THAT'S NEVER HAPPENED THAT FAST BEFORE.

SO SAVED A LOT OF PEOPLE'S LIVES.

SO, YEAH, I DON'T THINK ANYBODY GOT ANYTHING CUT THAT MAKE ANY DIFFERENCE.

MAKES A GOOD SOUND BITE.

BUT I THINK IT'S JUST NOT, WELL, YOU LOOK AT SATURDAY, YOU LOOK AT SATURDAY AT NOON AND DOWNTOWN SINE PEOPLE ARE GETTING OUTTA THEIR CARS AND WASTE HIGH WATER.

BUT I'VE GOT PICTURES OF IT THAT WERE SENT TO ME, AND THERE WAS NO, THEY WEREN'T NEAR THE RIVER.

THERE WAS NOWHERE FOR THE WATER TO GO.

EVERYTHING WAS SATURATED.

AND SO THERE YOU HAD A, AN ANOMALY IN DOWNTOWN SEIN LOOKING AT THAT.

AND NOT TO FORGET ANYONE ELSE WHO'S, WHO'S HAD IT, MAYBE YOU WERE LUCKY ENOUGH TO GET SOME RAIN IN MCMULLIN? NOT YET.

NOT YET.

WE'RE, WE'RE ETERNALLY OPTIMISTIC.

ONE DAY CLOSER.

ALRIGHT, THANK YOU.

THAT WAS MONEY DOWN THERE.

THERE BE WATER.

SAID, YOU KNOW, THEY WERE, IT WAS, IT WAS JUST BIZARRE.

AND CLIFF AND I WERE TALKING THIS MORNING, YOU KNOW, WHEN TEXAS HAS A, A DISASTER LIKE THIS, AN ATTRACTION LIKE THIS, IT'S AMAZING TO SEE, NOT JUST THE STATE OF TEXAS, BUT OTHER STATES, OTHER AGENCIES, EVERYBODY PITCHING IN AND, AND WHAT CAN WE DO TO HELP? WHAT CAN WE DO TO HELP? WHAT CAN WE DO TO HELP? AND, UM, YOU KNOW, THAT'S JUST A, JUST AN AMAZING THING TO WATCH YOU AND A TRAGEDY, UH, .

KEEP THOSE.

ANY OTHER COMMENTS? MARK? I DO WANT TO THANK JOE FOR COMING OUT.

HE REACHED OUT TO US, UM, ON BEHALF OF HUD, AND SO JUST GOES TO WHAT YOU'RE SAYING ABOUT EFFORTS TO HEALTH.

THANK YOU.

THANK TO HUD FOR CONTACT.

YOU'RE VERY WELCOME.

AND, AND WHAT I WOULD ALSO WANNA MENTION IS THAT THEY, AND CONTINUE TO COORDINATE, UH, WITH MR. HARBURG ON OUR REGIONAL ADMINISTRATOR, ADMINISTRATOR, UH, WHO SITS IN, IN FORT WORTH, BUT THAT'S OUR HIGHEST RANKING, HU OFFICIAL, UH, IN TEXAS, IN THE SURROUNDING FIVE STATE AREA.

UH, HER NAME IS ASHLEY QUINONEZ.

AND, UH, SHE IS, UH, TRYING TO, UH, COORDINATE, UH, TO, UH, VISIT SAN ANTONIO AND COME TO A FUTURE BOARD MEETING HERE.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH, JOE.

THANK YOU SO MUCH.

THANK YOU SO MUCH.

SO MUCH.

OKAY.

ITEM MEMBER

[5. AACOG Hilll Country Flood Relief Updates - Clifford Herberg.]

I JUST WANTED TO GIVE YOU A LITTLE UPDATE.

UH, CHAIRMAN HAS LOCKER, UH, COVERAGE, SOME OF THE THINGS I WAS GONNA SAY, BUT I WANTED TO JUST LET YOU KNOW WHAT ACOG'S EFFORTS HAVE BEEN, UM, WHEN THAT BROKE OUT.

AND, AND, UH, I WANT TO GIVE KUDOS TO SOME OF OUR STAFF.

MARCELO WAS, UH, WORKING AS THE COORDINATOR FOR RESOURCE COORDINATOR AS SOON AS THAT, UH, OCCURRED.

SHE WAS ON THE PHONE AT SIX O'CLOCK IN THE MORNING.

OH, SHE WAS ON THE PHONE WITH YOU CHAIRMAN THAT MORNING.

AND, UH, I WANT TO THANK MR. HAAR.

HE WAS OFFERING HIS SUPPORT AND RESOURCES FROM BARE MET AND THE HOSPITAL DISTRICT RIGHT AWAY.

UH, AND MARCELLA WAS ABLE TO COORDINATE, SADLY, AT THE TIME, WE THOUGHT THERE WERE SIX DEATHS.

UM, AND SHE WAS COORDINATING, MOVING, UH, REFRIGERATED, UH, MOBILE BOARDS UP TO OCCUR BECAUSE THEY DON'T HAVE THE, UH, A LOCAL BOARD TO HANDLE THAT ANY, UH, CASUALTIES.

AND SO WE WERE INVOLVED IN THAT.

VERY HAPPY TO REPORT THAT.

UM, WILL MCKNIGHT AND HIS TEAM JUMPED IN, MADE SURE THAT WE CONTINUED AND HAD NO LOSS OF SERVICE FOR OUR HOME DELIVERED MEALS.

PARTICULARLY, UH, THE DIETER CENTER IN KERRVILLE DID EXPERIENCE SOME FLOODING, AND THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO OFFER THEIR CONGREGATE MEALS, BUT, UH, WILL GOT WITH HHSC TO, UH, UH, ALLOW A GRAB AND GO TYPE OF MEAL SITUATION, BOX MEALS, SO THAT, UH, THERE WAS NO LOSS OF SERVICE THERE.

UH, IT WAS MINOR INTERRUPTION UNTIL HE GOT THAT APPROVED THROUGH HU.

UM, AND THEN OUR, UH, WE HAD SOME CALLS TO HAVE OUR BUSES ON STANDBY TO TRANSPORT PEOPLE.

AND INTERESTINGLY, UH, JUDGE EVANS, YOU MENTIONED THE COAST GUARD.

THEY WERE, WE WERE REQUESTED TO HELP MOVE SOME COAST GUARD TROOPS WHO NEEDED,

[00:20:01]

UM, OUR VETERANS AFFAIRS PEOPLE, VERY, VERY PROUD OF THEM.

WITHOUT, UM, ANY PROMPTING FROM STAFF, FROM MANAGEMENT, OUR STAFF, PEOPLE GOT IN TO MAKE SURE THAT ALL THE VETERANS IN HER WERE IN GOOD SHAPE, TAKEN CARE OF.

SO WE WERE, I, I'M VERY PLEASED WITH OUR RESPONSE AS FAR AS INTERNALLY IN OUR, UH, THE CARE THAT OUR STAFF SHOWS FOR THE PEOPLE THEY SERVE AND BEING PROACTIVE AND TRYING TO REACT, REACH OUT TO THEM.

UM, AND THEN, UH, IN ADDITION TO HUD, UH, I WAS ON A LENGTHY TELEPHONE CALL WITH, UH, EDA ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AGENCY.

AND THEY HAVE ENCOURAGED US TO APPLY FOR A GRANT THAT WILL BE ON NEXT WEEK'S, UH, AGENDA TO, UH, UH, SEEK A DISASTER FROM COORDINATOR, UH, DISASTER RELIEF COORDINATION POSITION.

AND WE WILL BE ASKING SOME OTHER THINGS.

INTERESTINGLY ENOUGH, YOU MAY OR MAY NOT KNOW, UM, ACCO DOESN'T OWN A PICKUP TRUCK, SO WE'LL BE ASKING YOU FOR SOME TRUCKS AND TRAILERS AND SEE IF WE CAN GET SOMETHING.

BECAUSE FOR INSTANCE, WE'VE SET UP, AND, AND IN MY TIME, AS YOU MAY RECALL, I HATE TO, UH, RECITE THESE THINGS.

BUT IN THE 10 YEARS THAT I'VE BEEN HERE AT ACO, WE'VE HAD THE FIRES UP THE PANHANDLE.

WE'VE HAD VALDI, WE'VE HAD SOUTHERN SPRINGS, WE'VE HAD THE HURRICANES THAT CAME THROUGH HERE, AND WE'VE HAD THIS FLOODING.

SO WE'RE JUST SEEING THESE, THESE LARGE EVENTS MORE AND MORE.

AND SO WE WOULD LIKE TO DEVELOP AT LEAST, UH, MINIMAL SUPPORT SERVICES, UH, IF THE BOARD APPROVES, UH, TO HELP OUR, OUR REGION AND, AND OUR SISTER COLLEAGUES, UM, AT THE TIME OF THESE DIFFERENT EVENTS.

AND SO, YOU KNOW, WE ARE GOING, WE'RE GONNA BE SEEKING A, A GRANT FOR SOME TRUCKS AND TRAILERS TO BE ABLE TO DELIVER SUPPLIES.

ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE SET UP, AND I WON'T, I'LL, I'LL GIVE YOU MORE DETAILS NEXT WEEK SO THAT YOU DON'T HAVE TO HEAR IT TWICE.

UH, WE DID SET UP AN AMAZON WISHLIST, AND WE'VE HAD A HUGE RESPONSE, AND WE'VE BEEN DELIVERING STUFF UP INTO THE REGION.

UM, NOT SO MUCH CURVE, BECAUSE AS YOU CAN IMAGINE, AKER GOT INUNDATED WITH SUPPLIES.

BUT WE'VE BEEN FOCUSING OUR EFFORTS DOWNSTREAM IN KENDALL COUNTY COMFORT AND SISTER DALE, WHERE THEY'RE, WHERE THEY'RE REALLY MOVING THE SEARCH DOWNSTREAM, UH, FOR THE RECOVERY EFFORTS.

AND, UH, WE'RE SENDING THAT OUT ON ONE OF THE, UH, POLICE, AC ACADEMY'S, TAHOES.

AND SO IT WOULD REALLY BE NICE TO HAVE SOME TRANSPORTATION ABILITY, BUT, OR, OR TRANSPORT GOODS.

BUT MY POINT IS, WE'VE HAD A TREMENDOUS RESPONSE ON THAT WISHLIST.

AND, UH, IN ADDITION TO WHAT AOG HAS APPLIED, AND WE BEEN ABLE TO PROVIDE A LOT OF ASSISTANCE TO WORK, I WOULD SAY MEANINGFUL ASSISTANCE IN COMPARATIVE, THE RESPONSE NATIONWIDE, IT'S MINIMAL, BUT WE'VE BEEN DOING, TRYING TO DO OUR PART, UH, TO SUPPORT THE EFFORTS AS WELL.

AND I'LL GIVE YOU SOME MORE REPORTS ON THAT NEXT WEEK.

BUT THAT'S BEEN A BIG SUCCESS.

AND SO, UH, OH, AND I THINK I SHOULD ALSO SAY WE, WE, UH, HAD AN EMERGENCY BLOOD DRIVE LAST FRIDAY AS ONE OF OUR, I THINK THE MOST SUCCESSFUL IS DEIDRA.

WHERE'S DEIDRA? SHE JUST STEPPED OUT.

OH, SHE STEPPED OUT.

I THINK THAT'S THE BIGGEST BLOOD DRIVE RESPONSE WE'VE EVER HAD.

WE HAD, UH, IT WAS TOTAL, ALMOST TOTALLY FULL, I THINK THREE VACANTS ON LEFT WHEN WE DID IT.

SO JUST FOR THAT WAS JUST FOR STAFF.

IT WAS, IT WAS OPEN TO ANYBODY WE HAD, AND WE RECEIVED SOME PRESS COVERAGE ON IT FROM K SATIN, AND KEN'S REPORTED ON IT.

AND SO WE HAD, UH, 10 POLICE CADETS, OUR OWN STAFF.

WE HAD TENANTS FROM THE BUILDING, AND THEN WE HAD OUTSIDE PEOPLE RESPOND.

AND SO, UM, HAD A GOOD RESPONSE TO THE BLOOD DRAW.

SO ANYWAY, I JUST WANTED TO LET YOU KNOW A LITTLE BIT ABOUT WHAT WE'RE DOING AND, UM, WE'LL BE GIVING YOU MORE DETAILS NEXT WEEK.

YEAH.

ON THAT, THE GUY THAT REALLY KNOWS MORE ABOUT IT AND NEVER SAYS ANYTHING IS CHIEF WHITMAN, WHO WAS THE CHIEF OF THE RANGERS, TEXAS RANGERS.

UH, HE KNOWS A LOT ABOUT ASSETS AND, AND WHAT THE STATE, UH, CAN AND, AND CAN'T DO.

UM, WE ARE RIGHT NOW WORKING WITH TEXAS DPS TO PUT A 250 FOOT TOWER UP AT CORY RUN.

UM, WE THINK THIS WOULD BE SIGNIFICANT.

IT'LL BE CONTROLLED BY TEXAS DPS.

AND YOU'RE, YOU'RE IN THE LOOP ON THIS, AS YOU WELL KNOW.

AND, UM, SO WE'LL SEE.

IT'S NOT GONNA HAPPEN TOMORROW OR NEXT WEEK OR NEXT MONTH, BUT IT'S IN THE PLANNING STAGES, UM, WHICH WE THINK MIGHT HELP SOME OF THE OUTLYING AREAS THAT, THAT ARE THERE ALSO.

AND WE'RE TRYING TO DO, WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO, COMMISSIONER, IS TO MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE ALL OF OUR CURRENT ASSETS AND THEN IMPROVE UPON WHAT WE HAVE, BECAUSE WE ARE THE BACKUP FOR, WE HAVE THE BACKUP FOR CLIFF AT, AT CORY RUN, WHICH YOU'VE BEEN THROUGH.

AND, UH, SO, UH, I DID TELL THE SHERIFF I KNEW HE HAD A BUNCH OF JUNK IN ONE OF THE ROOMS OUT THERE, AND I BROUGHT, I HAVE TWO MOBILE COMMAND CENTERS THAT I'VE OWNED FOR

[00:25:01]

AND SO WE'RE LOOKING MAYBE DOING SOME STUFF WITH IT AS A TEMPORARY, SO WE'LL HAVE IT.

I TALKED TO YOU ABOUT A COMMAND CENTER THAT WE'VE RECENTLY RECEIVED THAT, UH, NEEDS SOME REFURBISHMENT.

YEAH.

MIGHT BE SOMETHING YOU CAN USE.

YEAH, THAT'S IN NO, I WAS GONNA SAY, SO BEAR OUR IT DEPARTMENT AT BEX COUNTY, UM, PUT UP A TEMPORARY TOWER OUT THERE FOR, SO THEY'RE USING THAT.

THERE'S, UM, OUR, IT PEOPLE ARE STILL OUT THERE.

SO ONE OF THE THINGS I MIGHT ADD IS WE GET TO THE LEGISLATIVE SESSION THAT, UH, YOU MENTIONED JUDGE EVANS.

UM, IF THERE IS A REGIONAL RESPONSE, MEANING MULTI COUNTIES, YOU KNOW, I THINK ACOG IS REALLY WELL POSITIONED TO ADMINISTER SOME SORT OF PROJECT FOR A EARLY WARNING SYSTEM THAT GOES ACROSS COUNTY LINES.

YOU KNOW, WE'D BE GLAD TO ASSIST IN DOING THAT IF THE BOARD IS SO INCLINED.

YOU KNOW, WE'VE DONE SOME OF THE DAG PROJECTS, WE'RE DOING THE MERE GRANT THAT CROSSES INTO MULTIPLE COUNTIES, AND, UH, THAT'S SOMETHING THAT, YOU KNOW, ACOG IS REALLY WELL SUITED TO DO, WORKING WITH, YOU KNOW, MULTIPLE AGENCIES AND MULTIPLE, MULTIPLE PARTNERS.

SO, YOU KNOW, KEEP THAT IN MIND.

IF, IF WE DO TALK ABOUT A LEGISLATIVE SOLUTION TO A WARNING, UH, TO BE PART OF THAT.

IF YOU KNOW, IF BOARD IS ON THE CLIENT, ANY DISCUSSION, HEARING NONE, WE'LL MOVE ITEM

[6. Consent Agenda]

A, UH, SIX A IS A CONSIDERED ACT ON THE RECOMMENDATION TO APPROVE THE 16TH, 2025 COMMITTEE OF APPROVAL.

SECOND, MR. HAT, ALL FAVOR.

ITEM

[7. Discussion and appropriate action on the recommendation to approve the 2nd Quarter 2025 financial report - Julio Elizondo. A. Dashboard B. Balance Sheet C. Revenue and Expenditures D. Administrative Budgets E. Quarterly Investment Report]

JULIO IS HERE TO GIVE US THAT MORNING, MR. MEMBERS C MY NAME IS, I'M YOUR CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER.

UH, BEFORE I BEGIN MY PRESENTATION, I DID WANT TO GIVE, UH, INTRODUCE A COUPLE OF MY STAFF THAT ARE HERE TODAY.

UH, HALEY HINES IS OUR BUDGET ADMINISTRATOR, AND SHE WILL BE GIVING THE PRESENTATION IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING MINE, WHICH IS THE BUDGET MODIFICATION.

AND, UH, I'VE GOT YAHIDA JORDAN AS WELL, WHO IS OUR NEW INTERNAL AUDITOR, AND SHE HAS BEEN WITH ACCO FOR A COUPLE YEARS NOW.

SHE WAS A GRANT ACCOUNTANT FOR THE IDD PROGRAM, SO SHE'S WELL VERSED IN, IN, IN HOW WE OPERATE HERE WITHIN THE AGENCY AND DOES BRING SOME PRIOR AUDIT EXPERIENCE.

SO I THINK SHE'S GONNA DO A GREAT JOB IN THAT ROLE.

WITH THAT SAID, UH, I WILL GIVE YOU THE UPDATE, A SECOND QUARTER UPDATE ON THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS.

WE WILL GO OVER OUR FINANCIAL DASHBOARD, WHICH I'M PLEASED TO ANNOUNCE WE'VE KIND OF REVAMPED THAT, AND I'LL GO OVER THAT IN THE NEXT SLIDE.

WE WILL COVER OUR FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, WHICH IS BOTH OUR BALANCE SHEET AND STATEMENT OF REVENUES AND EXPENDITURES AND THE ACCOUNTS WITHIN, AS WELL AS OUR ADMINISTRATIVE BUDGETS.

AND AS I JUST MENTIONED HERE, WE HAVE OUR FINANCIAL, NEW AND IMPROVED FINANCIAL DASHBOARD AT THE END OF JUNE.

UH, I'M GONNA GO OVER EACH OF THESE METRICS.

I DID WANNA POINT OUT THAT THE, THERE WAS A COUPLE, I DID IDENTIFY A COUPLE SLIGHT, UM, CHANGES THAT I WANTED TO MAKE.

SO THIS COPY IS A LITTLE DIFFERENT THAN A VERSION THAT YOU HAVE IN YOUR PACKET.

UH, BUT THIS WILL BE SENT OUT FOR THE FULL BOARD NEXT WEEK, UH, IF YOU ALL WOULD LIKE IT TO BE.

UM, SO THAT VERY TOP LEFT CORNER, WE'VE GOT PERCENTAGE EARNED AND SPENT.

I DIDN'T, I TOOK THAT STRAIGHT FROM THE, AND JUST WANT TO GIVE KUDOS TO HALEY HINES.

'CAUSE HALEY HINES WAS THE ONE THAT WORKED ON THE DASHBOARD FOR ME.

SO I DID, YOU KNOW, I CAME IN AT ACOG AT, UH, BACK IN 2017 AND SHORTLY THEREAFTER, WE INTRODUCED THE FINANCIAL DASHBOARD IN 2018 AS SORT OF, UH, UH, TO GIVE YOU YOU ALL, UH, THE ABILITY TO SEE OUR FINANCIAL STATEMENTS VISUALIZE THIS WITH GRAPHS.

SO, UH, I DID WANT, UH, TO REVAMP THAT AS WE'VE HAD THE DASHBOARD, UH, THE SAME FOR SEVERAL YEARS NOW.

SO, AS I MENTIONED, THAT PERCENTAGE EARNED AND SPENT, UH, IS WHERE WE HAVE, WHERE WE ARE AT THE END OF, UH, JUNE OR YEAR TO DATE, IN TERMS OF, UH, OUR BUDGET.

SO ON THE EXPENDITURE SIDE, YOU SEE WHERE 45% SPENT, UH, AND THAT THEORETICALLY YOU'RE HALFWAY THROUGH THE YEAR, YOU WOULD LIKE TO SEE A 50% MARK.

UH, THERE ARE SOME REASONS FOR THAT THAT WE'VE MENTIONED THROUGHOUT THE YEAR, AND WE WILL NEED SOME BUDGET MODIFICATIONS TO INCREASE AND DECREASE SEVERAL OF OUR PROGRAM'S BUDGETS.

THAT SECOND, UH, METRIC THERE OR GRAPH IS A SPEEDOMETER JUST SUMMARIZED.

IT GIVES YOU THE, THE DATA TO THE LEFT IN A, IN A DIFFERENT VIEW.

AGAIN, 45%.

THE ONE ON THE RIGHT IS A NEW, UH, GRAPH.

IT'S YEAR TO DATE, NET POSITION.

NOW WHAT THIS GIVES YOU GUYS IS, IS A BREAKDOWN OF OUR, UH, YEAR TO DATE NET POSITION WITH REGARDS TO PROGRAMS. SO WE'VE GOT REVENUE YEAR TO DATE, REVENUES

[00:30:01]

SO AT THE END OF, UM, JUNE, YOU CAN SEE WE HAVE, UH, MILITARY AND VETERANS AFFAIRS LEADING THE WAY THERE.

AND THEN IT, UH, DOING THOSE DOWN, UH, BY PROGRAM.

THE ONE RIGHT BELOW THAT IS THE BUDGET SIDE OF NET POSITION.

SO THIS GIVES YOU THE ANNUAL, UH, PERSPECTIVE OF THAT.

UH, SO YOU CAN SEE HERE, THE, THE VERY BOTTOM LINE GIVES YOU AN IDEA OF WHERE THEY, EACH PROGRAM IS SUPPOSED TO END THE YEAR.

UH, AND SO YOU CAN SEE MVA HAS ALREADY NEARLY ECLIPSED THAT MARK HALFWAY THROUGH THE YEAR, WHICH IS WHY WE NEED A BUDGET MODIFICATION TO CORRECT THAT BUDGET.

THE MIDDLE GRAPH THERE IS A TREE, WHAT WE CALL A TREE MAP, AND THAT IS A VISUALIZATION OF YEAR TO DATE EXPENSES BY DEPARTMENT.

JUST GIVES YOU AN IDEA OF HOW BIG EACH, EACH PROGRAM IS SPENDING, OR HOW BIG THEIR BUDGETS ARE YEAR TO DATE AND WHAT THEY'VE SPENT.

UH, AGAIN, UH, MVA IS GONNA BE THE, THE, THE ONE I CONTINUE TO MENTION HERE, BUT THEY'RE THE LARGEST OF ALL OF THE PROGRAMS. AND THEN YOU CAN SEE THE DIFFERENT COLOR CODES REPRESENTING EACH PROGRAM AS WELL.

THE YEAR TO DATE, UH, EXPER EXPENDITURE VARIANCE BY PROGRAM IS SIMILAR TO THE WATERFALL GRAPH THAT WE HAD IN OUR PREVIOUS DASHBOARD.

AND THIS IS JUST MEANT TO VISUALIZE OUR YEAR TO DATE VARIANCES BY PROGRAM.

YOU CAN SEE WE'VE GOT A HUGE VARIANCE IN BEAR AGING OF 1.1 MILLION AND MVA OF A 739,000.

AND AGAIN, WE WILL GO OVER THOSE IN, UH, IN DETAIL IN MY NEXT SLIDES AS WELL AS HAY.

UH, HALEY WILL BREAK IT DOWN IN HER BUDGET MODIFICATION PROCESS OR PRESENTATION DOWN AT THE VERY BOTTOM, THE TWO LEFT HAND CORNER ONES ARE ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE.

UH, THE FIRST ONE IS AN AGING REPORT.

AND THIS GIVES YOU AN IDEA OF WHERE WE ARE, UH, IN TERMS OF, UH, HOW BIG, UH, OUR OP OPEN ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE IS.

AT THE END OF JUNE, IT WAS ABOUT 6.6 MILLION.

NOW, WITH, BECAUSE OF HOW FAST WE CLOSE OUR BOOKS, BECAUSE OF THE EXEC, THE QUARTER END, UH, THERE WAS AN INVOICE, UH, FOR MVA, THAT WHICH IS OUR RATHER LARGE INVOICE, 2.3 MILLION THAT WASN'T CAPTURED IN AR, BUT WE DID ACCRUE FOR IT.

SO IT IS REPRESENTED IN THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS.

IT'S JUST NOT GONNA SHOW HERE ON THE AGED RECEIVABLE REPORT.

SO THAT OVER 90 IS SHOWING 18%.

UM, BUT THAT NUMBER IS REALLY CLOSER TO 12% IF YOU ADD IN THAT VETERAN'S DIRECTED INVOICE.

SO, WHICH IS WHERE WE WANT TO BE AT, UH, ANYWHERE FROM EIGHT TO EIGHT TO 12% IS A GOOD, GOOD NUMBER.

THAT MIDDLE BOTTOM, UH, ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE, AGING BY DEPARTMENT IS BROKEN UP BY, UM, HOW, HOW AGED EACH OF THOSE RECEIVABLES ARE.

SO YOU GOT YOUR CURRENT, YOUR 30 DAYS, 60 DAYS, AND ANYTHING OVER 90 PLUS DAYS.

UH, AGAIN, THE BIGGEST, BIGGEST OVER 90 DAYS IS GONNA COME FROM IDD AND ART, AND I WILL COVER THAT IN THE ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE SLIDE HERE, HERE IN A FEW SLIDES.

AND THEN MY FAVORITE IS THE CASH AND INVESTMENTS.

AND THIS GIVES YOU AN IDEA OF HOW MUCH CASH WE HAVE ON HAND.

SO AT THE END OF JUNE, WE'RE, WE'RE SOMEWHERE IN A BALLPARK OF A LITTLE OVER 10 MILLION, UH, SEVERAL MILLION HIGHER THAN WE WERE IN MAY, AND THAT IS BECAUSE OF THE COLLECTION OF SOME, UH, AGE TO ACCOUNT RECEIVABLE FROM TXDOT.

AND I WAS, I'M VERY HAPPY TO ANNOUNCE THAT, THAT THAT HAS BEEN CLEARED UP.

OUR BALANCE SHEET AT THE END OF JUNE.

WE ARE AT, UH, AROUND 50 MILLION IN TOTAL ASSETS.

AND, UH, THAT'S SEVERAL MILLION HIGHER THAN WE WERE AT THE END OF JUNE.

AGAIN, THE MAJORITY OF THAT IS CASH AND, UH, WE, WE LIKE TO GET THE CASH ON HAND, THAT WAY WE CAN INVEST IT AND GET THE INTEREST BACK SO WE CAN PROVIDE, UH, BACKEND SERVICES.

UH, ON THE PROGRAM SIDE OF THINGS, OUR FUND BALANCE, UH, BROKEN UP BY UNRESTRICTED AND RESTRICTED.

HERE'S, IT'S A SUMMARIZED VIEW BY DEPARTMENT.

UH, OUR TOTAL FUND BALANCE AT THE END OF JUNE IS IN THE BALLPARK OF 14.4 MILLION, UH, WHICH IS SEVERAL MILLION HIGHER THAT WE WERE BACK IN JUNE OF LAST YEAR.

AND THE BIGGEST REASON FOR THAT IS MVA, WHO IS CURRENTLY SITTING AT 8.3 MILLION IN UNRESTRICTED FUNDS, CASH AND INVESTMENTS, AGAIN, AS I MENTIONED, $10.2 MILLION AT THE END OF JUNE.

UH, AND I WILL COVER THAT IN A LITTLE MORE DETAIL WHEN I GET TO THE INVESTMENT SLIDE.

ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE, AS I MENTIONED, WE, THE MAJORITY OF THESE ARE CURRENT, WHICH IS WHERE WE WANT TO BE.

AND THE BIGGEST, UH, CUSTOMER THAT WE DO HAVE IS THE CD VETERANS DIRECTOR, WHICH IS CURRENTLY NOT ON HERE BECAUSE OF THAT ACCRUAL THAT I DID MENTION.

UH, WE DO HAVE A COUPLE OVER 90, UH, ISSUES THAT WE HAVE.

ONE IS WITH TDOT.

WE HAVE SENT THOSE THAT BILLING OUT AND WE DO EXPECT PAYMENT FROM TEXT DO IS JUST ON THEIR END, UH, THAT THEY'RE REVIEWING.

AND THEN THE OTHER IS THE MEDICAID ADMINISTRATIVE CLAIMING, WHICH IS PART OF THE IDD PROGRAM.

AND AGAIN, THIS IS JUST A QUARTERLY REPORT THAT IS BILLED AFTER THE FEDERAL QUARTER END.

SO WE'RE JUST WAITING FOR THAT PAYMENT TO COME IN.

OUR INVESTMENT SUMMARY BROUGHT TO YOU BY THE PUBLIC FUNDS INVESTMENT ACT.

YOU CAN SEE HERE WE HAVE ALL OF OUR INVESTMENT POOLS, WHICH IS TEXT POOL, LONE STAR, UH, THE RATE THAT THEY'RE PAYING AT AS WELL AS THE CDS WITH SHIRTS.

UM, CURRENTLY THE, THE LONE STAR ACCOUNT IS AT FOUR 4.3%, WHICH IS PRETTY GREAT RATE.

AND, UH, THE MAJORITY OF OUR CDS WITH SHIRTS ARE AT 5%.

AND SO INTEREST EARNED AT THE END OF JUNE IS ABOUT A HUNDRED THOUSAND.

SO THAT'S A GREAT FINANCIAL POSITION TO BE IN.

UM, THERE.

SO STATEMENT OF REVENUES

[00:35:01]

AGAIN, THE MAJORITY OF THAT IS MVA AND, UH, WILL NEED A BUDGET MODIFICATION ON ALAMO AGING.

WE HAVE CURRENTLY HAVE A VARIANCE OF 214,000, UH, ON THE EXPENDITURE SIDE, UH, AS, AS, AS WE KIND OF HIGHLIGHTED THROUGHOUT THE YEAR, THEY, THERE WAS A PAUSE IN SPENDING, UH, FROM EAR FROM EARLY APRIL TO MID-MAY BECAUSE OF THOSE EXECUTIVE ORDERS THAT WERE SENT DOWN.

UH, SO PROGRAM WILL NEED A BUDGET MODIFICATION TO CORRECT THAT.

BUDGET.

BEAR AGING, VERY SIMILAR STORY.

THEY'RE $1.1 MILLION BELOW BUDGET.

UH, AGAIN, SAME REASON BECAUSE OF THAT PAUSE.

BUT IN ADDITION TO THAT PROGRAM DID RECEIVE MORE FUNDS THAN THEY ANTICIPATED IN, UH, BOTH CAREGIVER SUPPORT AND ACCESS.

AND, AND THE FLIP SIDE OF THAT, IN HOME DELIVERED MEALS, THEY DID RECEIVE A SLIGHT DECREASE IN THAT.

SO THERE WILL BE A BUDGET MODIFICATION NEEDED TO CORRECT THAT.

BUDGET.

ART IS CURRENTLY $529,000 ABOVE BUDGET.

UH, I DID HIGHLIGHT THIS EARLIER IN THE YEAR AS WELL.

IT'S BECAUSE OF THE SERVICE EXPANSION PROJECT AND, UH, IT'S NOT, IT WASN'T INCLUDED IN THE ORIGINAL BUDGET.

IN ADDITION TO THAT, THEY DID CHANGE THEIR METHODOLOGY FOR REVENUE RECOGNITION, UH, TO MAXIMIZE THOSE FEDERAL DOLLARS.

SO WE WILL NEED A BUDGET MODIFICATION TO CORRECT THAT BUDGET AS WELL.

MILITARY AND VETERANS AFFAIRS, UH, AS I MENTIONED THROUGHOUT THE PRESENTATION, THEY'RE ABOVE BUDGET BY $1.4 MILLION.

UH, THE CASE MIXED FOR THE VETERANS DID CHANGE AT THE LAST QUARTER OF LAST YEAR.

SO THAT WAS AFTER THE BUDGET WAS ALREADY SET FOR THIS YEAR, UH, CAUSING THIS DIFFERENCE IN THE BUDGET THIS YEAR.

SO BUDGET MODIFICATION IS NEEDED TO CORRECT THAT BUDGET AS WELL.

IDD IS CURRENTLY AT $145,000 DEFICIT, UH, THAT WE HAVE HAD WRITE-OFFS OF ABOUT 218,000 IN MEDICAID YEAR TO DATE.

UH, EARLIER THIS YEAR WE DID MENTION THAT WE HAD A TOTAL OF 200,000 IN RECOUPMENTS THAT WERE PREVIOUSLY, UH, DENIED AND WRITTEN OFF.

I'M PLEASED TO ANNOUNCE THAT AS OF JUNE, UH, HHS HAS REIMBURSED US FOR 62,000 OF THAT.

SO WE'RE STILL WAITING ABOUT 140,000 STILL TO COME IN A PIPELINE HERE.

UH, BUT AT THE TAIL END OF LAST WEEK, WE DID, UH, WE WERE NOTIFIED OF A NEW ISSUE, UH, WITH THE ADMINISTRATIVE MEDICAID ADMINISTRATIVE CLAIMING.

UH, AND THIS HAD TO DO WITH THE TIME STUDY THAT'S DONE AT THE STATE LEVEL, UH, BECAUSE OF THIS TIME STUDY, IT'S NEGATIVELY IMPACTED US.

AND SO FOR THAT QUARTER, THEY'RE GONNA BE, THERE IS A, THEY'RE IN A DEFICIT OF $112,000.

SO CURRENTLY PROGRAM IS IDENTIFYING WAYS TO MITIGATE THIS LOSS, BUT HALEY WILL BE PRESENTING A BUDGET MODIFICATION, UH, NEEDED TO CORRECT THAT BUDGET.

YOU'LL SEE HOW MUCH OF A DEFICIT THE, THEIR FORECASTED IN THE YEAR.

PUBLIC SAFETY IS CURRENTLY 354,000 BELOW BUDGET.

UH, AS I MENTIONED EARLIER THIS YEAR, UH, THAT TARGET RANGE PLANNING GRANT IS THE, IS THE BIG REASON FOR THIS.

AND WE JUST WEREN'T ABLE TO SECURE THE LAND FOR THAT GRANT.

AND SO WE DO NEED TO REVERSE THAT OUT OF, UH, THE FY 25 BUDGET.

AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST, WE HAVE WEATHERIZATION WHO IS $337,000 BELOW BUDGET.

AND THE, THE MAJORITY OF THIS VARIANCE IS DUE TO THE DOE, UH, BIL GRANT.

AND HEY, WE'LL COVER THAT, BUT, UH, IN HER BUDGET MODIFICATION PRESENTATION, BUT THEY DO HAVE THROUGH JUNE OF NEXT YEAR TO SPEND THOSE FUNDS.

WHAT HAPPENED WAS WHEN THEY, THEY PUT THEIR FY 25 BUDGET TOGETHER LAST YEAR, THEY ANTICIPATED SPENDING MORE MONEY THIS YEAR, UM, AND THEY JUST FRONT LOADED A LITTLE TOO MUCH.

SO THEY'RE DEFERRING SOME OF THIS FUNDS TO BE SPENT IN FY 26.

SO THEY WILL NEED A BUDGET MODIFICATION TO CORRECT THAT, THAT BUDGET.

ON THE ADMINISTRATIVE SIDE, WE'VE GOT, WE'RE CURRENTLY 2% BELOW BUDGET, WHICH IS WHERE WE WANT TO BE.

UH, AND UH, AND, UH, HALEY IS GOING TO, UH, PRESENT A MODIFICATION THAT WE ARE PROPOSING ON THE ADMIN SIDE TO COVER THE SHORTAGE IN AGENCY MANAGEMENT.

UH, SO WE WILL HAVE A BUDGET MOD FROM, UH, MOVING SOME FUNDS FROM PUBLIC RELATIONS TO AGENCY MANAGEMENT.

AGAIN, SHE'LL COVER THE REASON FOR THAT IN A LITTLE MORE DETAIL IN HER PRESENTATION.

UH, THAT DOES CONCLUDE MY PRESENTATION THOUGH, AND IF YOU ALL HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, I'D BE MORE THAN HAPPY TO ANSWER THEM.

YOU KNOW, IT, IT MIGHT BE HELPFUL FOR ME, MAYBE NOT FOR ANYBODY ELSE, BUT AS WE GO THROUGH THESE AND LOOK AT WHAT, WHAT'S NOT BEING FUNDED, YOU GO THROUGH THE MEDICAID, UH, ALL THE OTHER THINGS THAT ARE, THAT ARE OUT THERE THAT ARE IN PLAY, UH, IT MIGHT BE GOOD TO GIVE THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE IF IT'S MEETS THE APPROVAL OF CHAIRMAN AND MR. HERBERG, UH, A LIST OF THINGS SO THAT WE CAN LOOK AT THOSE AND KNOW WHAT, WHAT EXACTLY YOU'RE SEEING FROM YOUR VANTAGE POINT.

OF COURSE, IF THAT'S PERMISSIBLE.

WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT A LIST OF THINGS YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT JUST AN IDENT EACH SPECIFIC PROGRAM YEAH.

THE CUTS OR WHATEVER AND HOW THEY'RE AFFECTING YOU.

YES MA'AM.

I KNOW COMMISSIONER, YOU'D LIKE TO SEE THAT.

SO, AND ONE OF THE THINGS JULIO THOUGH, CORRECT, UH, CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG IF I'M MISSTATING THIS, BUT SO

[00:40:02]

SO FOR INSTANCE, THE LAG IN FUNDING AND THE AIR AGING, WE'RE GONNA MOVE THAT FORWARD AND WE SHOULD EXPEND IT ALL BY THE END, CORRECT.

OF THE YEAR, CORRECT? YES.

YES.

SO IT'S NOT A LOSS OF FUNDING, IT'S JUST REALLY WHEN IT WAS SPENT, BECAUSE THERE WAS A PAUSE IN FUNDING EVERY TIME YOU MENTIONED THAT POLICY AND FUNDING.

I DON'T KNOW IF YOU REMEMBER THAT OFFICE OF MANAGEMENT BUDGET, UH, ORDER THAT CAME DOWN THAT JUST FROZE ALL FEDERAL PROGRAMS. YEAH.

AND SO WE PUT A PAUSE ON FUNDING WHILE WE WERE WAITING TO SEE WHAT THEY WERE GONNA FUND OR NOT.

SO 90, I DON'T KNOW THE EXACT PERCENT, BUT 95% OF OUR FUNDING, MAYBE 99% OF OUR FUNDING HAS REMAINED STABLE.

RIGHT? SO ONCE WE LIFTED THAT, WE'RE BACK IN BUSINESS.

AND SO IT'S GONNA BE EXPENDED, UH, WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE, UH, WEATHERIZATION BIL MONEY BECAUSE BASICALLY THEY FRONT LOADED ALL OF IT INTO THIS YEAR'S BUDGET, EVEN THOUGH IT'S A TWO YEAR CONTRACT.

AND SO, BUT ASIDE FROM THAT, EVERYTHING EXPECT, WE EXPECT TO EXPEND EVERYTHING.

AND SO AND SO, YEAH, LIKE CLIFF MENTIONED, WE, IT'S REALLY JUST THE TIMING AND ISSUE NOW.

AND SO THOSE FUNDS WILL BE SPENT, BUT THEY'RE JUST, IT'S THE TIMING OF WHEN THEY'RE GONNA BE SPENT.

THERE WERE TWO, I, I BELIEVE GRANT AND HAY'S GONNA COVER THOSE, UH, IN HER PRESENTATION.

THERE WERE TWO GRANTS OR ONE WAS NOT RENEWED FOR SURE.

AND, UH, AND ANOTHER THAT WE'RE STILL WAITING CONFIRMATION FROM, UH, DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY FOR SO, WHICH IS LOT'S PROGRAM, WHICH IS, YEAH, CORRECT.

AND SO, AND THAT'S A SMALLER GRANT.

VERY, YEAH.

SMALL GRANTS.

YEAH.

UH, AND SO THE OTHER THING I WANTED TO POINT OUT THOUGH, THAT WE DID GET A LITTLE BIT OF SHOCK ON, OR NOT A LITTLE, QUITE A BIT OF A SHOCK ON IS THE TIME STUDY THAT I, I'VE LEARNED MORE ABOUT IDD RECENTLY ON THE TIME STUDIES.

UM, BUT BASICALLY, UM, AND JACOB COULD SPEAK TO THAT IF I MISSTATE IT, BUT, UM, MEDICAID LOOKS AT HOW MUCH TIME YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO SUPPOSED TO SPEND.

THEY DON'T, IT'S NOT A FEE FOR SERVICE.

SO THEY JUST LOOK AT HOW MUCH YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO SPEND TIME-WISE IN SERVICING CLIENTS.

AND SO THEY LOOK AT POINTS IN TIME ON THE SERVICES YOU'RE PROVIDING, AND THEY TAKE THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE THAT ARE NON-MEDICAID PATIENTS AND THOSE THAT ARE MEDICAID PATIENTS, AND THEY TAKE THAT PERCENTAGE OF MEDICAID PATIENTS AND THEY PAY YOU ACCORDINGLY BASED ON WHAT YOUR BUDGET IS.

SO 50, 60, LET'S JUST SAY 60% OF YOUR PEOPLE ARE MEDICAID, THEY'RE GONNA PAY YOU 60% OF THE, OF LOOK AT YOUR BUDGET AND SAY, OKAY, WELL WE'RE TAKING UP 60% OF THAT BUDGET.

BUT THEN THEY APPLY THAT TIME STUDY AND SAY, WELL, YOU KNOW, WE'RE ONLY GONNA PAY YOU X DOLLARS FOR THAT SERVICE.

AND UNFORTUNATELY, AS I UNDERSTAND IT, WE ARE DEPENDENT ON ALL OF THE LITTA ACROSS THE STATE TO DO THEIR TIME STUDY AND FILL OUT THEIR DATA.

AND, BUT THE WAY IT'S EXPLAINED TO ME, THE BIG LIT DO A GREAT JOB OF DOING THAT.

THEY FILL OUT THE TIME STUDY, THEY HAVE THE POINTS, AND MY UNDERSTANDING IS A LOT OF THE SMALLER LITTA, WERE NOT COMPLETING THE TIME STUDY THAT IMPACTED THE WAY THE FORMULA IS, IS ALLOCATED.

AND WE SAW 112, A HUNDRED, 12,000, A HUNDRED, 12,000, 112,000, UH, DROP IN REVENUE FOR THIS QUARTER, JUST FOR ONE QUARTER.

BEEN TALKING TO VIRGINIA, UH, CHARLES, SHE TELLS ME THAT THE STATE IS GOING TO SEND OUT A, UH, TRAINING AND SOME ADVICE TO THE LITUS TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY'RE DOING THE THINGS THAT THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO DO.

AND FINGERS CROSSED WE RELYING ON EVERYBODY ELSE TO DO WHAT THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO DO.

THIS MATTER MAY CORRECT IN THE NEXT QUARTER, WE DON'T KNOW.

BUT WE DO KNOW THAT FOR THE FIRST QUARTER WE LOST ABOUT 40,000.

IS THAT CORRECT? SO IN THE FIRST QUARTER, THE FIRST QUARTER, NO, IT WASN'T A DEFICIT.
