YOU WENT TO SCHOOL WITH OUR CITY MANAGER.

I DID.

YEAH, THAT'S GOOD TO BE HERE WITH YOU.

SO THANK YOU FOR, FOR HAVING ME HERE IN GREETINGS FROM CHANDLER PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH, I WAS ACTUALLY PLANNING A DIFFERENT PRAYER TODAY, BUT I THINK RUSSIA'S ATTACK ON UKRAINE DEMANDED A CHANGE.

OF COURSE, UKRAINE IS VULNERABLE AND RUSSIAN LEADERSHIP HAS DECIDED TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THAT.

AND IT MADE ME THINK OF ONE OF JESUS'S TRAITS.

HE WAS CONNECTED TO GOD, BUT HE DIDN'T USE HIS POWER TO DOMINATE OTHERS.

HE USED HIS POWER TO SERVE US AND TO GIVE UP HIS LIFE FOR US HERE IN CHANDLER, WE ARE BLESSED TO HAVE LEADERS LIKE YOU WHO ARE ELECTED AND WHOSE MISSION IS TO SERVE, NOT TO DOMINATE.

SO IF YOU'D LIKE, IF YOU'D LIKE TO PLEASE JOIN ME IN PRAYING TO THE ONE, WHO'S TRULY POWERFUL.

LORD, THANK YOU FOR THE RICHES.

YOU'VE GIVEN US HERE IN CHANDLER FOR PROSPERITY DEMOCRACY AND FOR MANY GOOD LEADERS TODAY, WE ASK THAT YOU WOULD HELP THE PEOPLE OF UKRAINE.

PLEASE HEAR THE CRIES OF EVERYONE WHO WANTS FREEDOM AND OPEN A PATHWAY TO PEACE.

I PRAY THAT YOU WOULD RAISE UP LEADERS WHO FOLLOW YOU TO DO WHAT'S RIGHT.

AND I PRAY THAT YOU WOULD GIVE THEM HEALING AND PROTECTION.

EVEN IN THESE WORST OF TIMES.

AND TODAY WE COMMIT TO THE PEOPLE OF CHANDLER ARIZONA THAT WE WILL LEAD AS SERVANTS.

PLEASE GIVE US THE WISDOM TO SEE WHAT IS TRULY RIGHT AND GIVE US THE COURAGE TO DO IT.

AMEN.

AMEN.

AND THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA AND TO JUSTICE CALL.

SO THANK YOU AND GOD BLESS YOU.

LET'S TAKE A PICTURE OF YOU'RE GOING TO TALK FOR TWO OR THREE HOURS, THEN WENT SO QUICKLY.

OUR NEXT PROCLAMATION IS DISABILITY AWARENESS MONTH.

THE MAYOR'S COMMITTEE FOR PEOPLE WITH DISABILITY SERVES AS A LIAISON BETWEEN THE CITY COUNCIL AND CITIZENS OF CHANDLER TO INCREASE AWARENESS AND ACCESSIBILITY AND TO PROVIDE PROGRESS FOR INDIVIDUALS WITH DISABILITIES WHO LIVE IN CHANDLER.

THE MEMBERS OF THE MAYOR'S COMMITTEE RECOGNIZE ON DISABILITIES, RECOGNIZE THE PEOPLE OF PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES IN THE COMMUNITY AND STRIVE TO INCREASE THEIR OPPORTUNITIES FOR SUCCESS.

IN CHANDLER.

IN ADDITION, THEY HELP WITH ISSUES SUCH AS EDUCATION AND EMPLOYMENT USING THEIR STIPEND PROGRAM.

AT THIS POINT, I WOULD LIKE TO INVITE JEFF DEAVER, KIM FOY, AND AARON FORTNER AS MEMBERS OF THE MAYOR'S COMMITTEE FOR PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES TO JOIN ME IN ACCEPTING THIS PROCLAMATION AND DECLARING THE MONTH OF MARCH AS DISABILITY AWARENESS MONTH, ENSURING THE PEOPLE IN THE COMMUNITY HAVE A GREATER UNDERSTANDING OF THE IMPORTANCE OF INDIVIDUALS WITH DISABILITIES AND THEIR IMPACT ON SOCIETY AND COUNCIL MEMBER.

WOULD YOU LIKE TO READ THE PROCLAMATION THE LAST TIME? I FORGOT MY GLASSES.

THANK YOU MAYOR.

WHEREAS THE MONTH OF MARCH HAS BEEN OBSERVED ANNUALLY AS THE DISABILITY AWARENESS MONTH IN ARIZONA AND HAS BEEN RECOGNIZED THROUGH JOINT RESOLUTION BY CONGRESS, THE UNITED STATES AND BY THE PRESIDENT PROCLAMATIONS.

AND WHEREAS THE MAYOR'S COMMITTEE FOR PEOPLE WITH DISABILITY WAS FORMED TO SERVE AS A LIAISON BETWEEN THE CITY COUNCIL AND THE GENERAL COMMUNITY IN MATTERS REGARDING PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES AND

[00:10:01]

THEREFORE KEVIN ARCHY, THIS GUY, THE MAYOR OF THE CHAMP, THE CITY OF CHANDLER ARIZONA DO HEREBY PROCLAIM MARCH 20, MARCH, 2022 AS DISABILITIES AWARENESS MONTH AND WOULD YOU LIKE TO SAY ANYTHING HERE IN THIS? I KNOW YOU'RE NEW ON OUR COMMISSION, BUT WE'RE ALSO GOING TO RECOGNIZE SOME FOLKS, BUT SHORT AND SWEET.

SO WE HAVE SOME, UH, DISABILITY AWARDS, UH, OF AWARENESS AWARDS, AND I'D LIKE TO CALL THEM UP AND IF WE COULD HAVE A PICTURE WITH THEM, WITH US IN COUNCIL, AND THEN IF THE AWARDEES COULD STAND TO THE SIDE AND THEN WE'LL TAKE A PICTURE WITH EVERYONE TOGETHER AS WELL.

SO FIRST WE HAVE JULIE STEWART FROM HABILITATIVE OF THE YEAR, JULIE.

ALRIGHT, WAIT OFF.

SECONDLY, WE HAVE ALICIA WRONSKI AND I APOLOGIZE IF I PRONOUNCED YOUR NAME WRONG EDUCATOR OF THE YEAR, AT LEAST ALICIA AND NEXT SAVANNAH BRENHAM STUDENT OF THE YEAR SAVANNAH AND THE EMPLOYER OF THE YEAR IS SPROUTS MARKET.

IS ANYONE FROM SPROUTS WHERE THEY ABLE TO MAKE IT? I DIDN'T THINK THEY WERE.

ALL RIGHT, SO LET'S GIVE A ROUND OF APPLAUSE FOR SPROUTS MARKET AND THEN TAKE A PICTURE OF ALL RIGHT, COUNSEL, WE'RE GOING TO GO BACK TO THE DAYS, BUT WE DO HAVE A PRESENTATION ON TEEN DATING VIOLENCE AWARENESS OR DOMESTIC VIOLENCE COMMISSIONER CHAIR.

HOLLY NAPE IS GOING TO GIVE US A PRESENTATION, POLLY.

OKAY, WELCOME.

I THANK YOU GUYS FOR HAVING US OUT TONIGHT.

UM, PAULIE I'M HERE ON BEHALF OF OUR DOMESTIC VIOLENCE COMMISSION, OBVIOUSLY.

UM, SO I DON'T KNOW IF YOU GUYS KNOW THIS, BUT IT'S TEEN DATING VIOLENCE AWARENESS MONTH.

SO THAT'S VERY EXCITING AND UH, THEIR COLOR IS ORANGE.

SO I THINK THERE'S A DELAY RIGHT NOW, BUT YEP.

THERE WE GO.

PRINT OUT LOTS OF ORANGE HAPPENING THIS MONTH AND IN THIS WEEK.

AND WE WANTED TO JUST COME OUT AND, UH, SHARE SOME FACTS AND RESOURCES TONIGHT.

UM, AND THEN TELL YOU GUYS A LITTLE BIT ABOUT WHAT THE COMMISSION IS DOING THIS MONTH AND INTO NEXT MONTH TO EDUCATE OUR AND WORK WITH OUR SCHOOLS IN THE CHANDLER AREA.

SO THROUGHOUT THE PRESENTATION, YOU'RE GOING TO SEE A COUPLE OF THINGS.

SO UP IN THE CORNER HERE,

[00:15:01]

SO THOSE BOXES ARE WHAT WE'VE SPENT THE MONTH KIND OF PUTTING ON TO SOME OF THE CHANDLER SOCIAL MEDIA, UM, THROUGH THE POLICE DEPARTMENT, SO THAT WE'RE DOING KIND OF AN ONGOING EDUCATION CAMPAIGN, UM, WITH STATISTICS AND KIND OF HOW ANYONE IN THE COMMUNITY MIGHT BE ABLE TO INTERACT WITH A TEEN OR ANYONE ELSE THAT THEY'RE CONCERNED ABOUT DOMESTIC VIOLENCE, UM, IN THOSE TEENAGE RELATIONSHIPS.

SO WANTED TO START BY JUST SHARING SOME FACTS ABOUT TEEN DATING VIOLENCE.

UM, IT'S REALLY A LOT MORE COMMON THAN WE THINK.

SO OBVIOUSLY ONE IN THREE TEAMS WILL EXPERIENCE SOME SORT OF PHYSICAL SEXUAL OR EMOTIONAL ABUSE BY SOMEONE THEY'RE IN A RELATIONSHIP WITH BEFORE THEY BECOME AN ADULT.

OH, NO, SORRY.

THERE WE GO.

AND THEN NEARLY ONE IN 11 FEMALES AND ONE IN 14 MALE HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS REPORT HAVING EXPERIENCED SOME SORT OF PHYSICAL DATING VIOLENCE IN THE LAST YEAR.

AND THAT INFORMATION COMES FROM OUR CDC WEBSITE AND THEY DO THESE SURVEYS, UM, OF HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS TO ENGAGE THEM IN GETTING THE INFORMATION.

SO ONE IN EIGHT FEMALES AND ONE IN 26 MALE HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS REPORT HAVING EXPERIENCED SOME SORT OF SEXUAL DATING VIOLENCE IN THE LAST YEAR IN 33% OF ADOLESCENTS ARE VICTIM TO SEXUAL, PHYSICAL, VERBAL, OR EMOTIONAL DATING ABUSE.

AND THEN WHAT WE KNOW IS RIGHT, IT'S A LOT MORE KIDS THAN WE THINK ABOUT.

I KNOW I HAVE A DAUGHTER AND SHE'S 15 AND SHE GOES TO SCHOOL HERE IN CHANDLER AND, AND ALL THOSE THINGS.

AND THESE STATISTICS BECOME KIND OF ASTONISHING TO ME, BUT WHAT'S EVEN MORE IMPORTANT THAN JUST THOSE STATISTICS IS KIND OF THINKING ABOUT THE LONG-TERM EFFECTS FOR THESE KIDDOS, RIGHT? SO WHAT WE KNOW IS TEENS WHO SUFFER DATING ABUSE ARE SUBJECT TO LONG-TERM CONSEQUENCES, SUCH AS ALCOHOLISM, EATING DISORDERS, PROMISCUITY, THOUGHTS OF SUICIDE AND VIOLENT BEHAVIORS.

SO I WORK IN THE BEHAVIORAL HEALTH FIELD, I'M A DIRECTOR FOR A CHILDREN'S PROGRAM.

UM, THAT'S A STATEWIDE CHILDREN'S PROGRAM.

WE HAVE AN OFFICE HERE IN CHANDLER, SO WE'D LOVE THAT.

UM, BUT ONE OF THE THINGS WE'VE SEEN OVER THE PAST TWO YEARS IS A LARGE INCREASE IN OUR SUICIDE OR ATTEMPTED SUICIDES WITH TEENAGERS.

AND SO THAT'S BEEN, UM, A REALLY BIG PART OF COVID.

SO OUTREACH IS EVEN MORE IMPORTANT THAN IT EVER HAS BEEN.

WHAT WE ALSO SAW IN STATISTICALLY IS WHEN PEOPLE WERE LOCKED IN THEIR HOMES, WEREN'T GETTING OUT TO TALK TO OTHER ADULTS IN THE COMMUNITY OR KIDS AT SCHOOLS THAT VIOLENCE WITHIN THE HOME BECAME WORSE AND DATING VIOLENCE BECAME WORSE.

SO MY LAST SHOCKING STATISTIC FOR YOU TONIGHT, UM, IS 50% OF YOUNG PEOPLE WHO EXPERIENCED RAPE OR PHYSICAL OR SEXUAL ABUSE WILL ATTEMPT TO COMMIT SUICIDE AT T SOMETIME ACROSS THEIR LIFESPAN.

SO GETTING TO THESE KIDS EARLY IS THE BEST THING WE CAN DO.

UM, AND WHEN WE'RE TALKING ABOUT INTIMATE PARTNER VIOLENCE, IT CAN BE REALLY HARD TO TALK ABOUT, RIGHT? LIKE WHAT EVEN IS IT? THAT'S A BIG WORD, INTIMATE PARTNER VIOLENCE.

UM, SO WHAT WE DO AS A KIND OF A WHOLE, WHEN WE'RE LOOKING AT THIS, AS WE DEFINE IT IN FOUR DIFFERENT WAYS, UM, AND IT'S KIND OF OUR GATEWAY TO TALKING ABOUT HEALTHY RELATIONSHIPS ACROSS THE BOARD.

SO THE FOUR WAYS WE DEFINE THAT IS PHYSICAL ABUSE, OBVIOUSLY, RIGHT? THIS IS THE FIRST ONE THAT ALWAYS COMES TO MIND WHEN WE TALK ABOUT DOMESTIC VIOLENCE, THAT IT MEANS SOMEONE HAS TO BE HITTING ME OR PHYSICALLY HURTING ME.

AND THAT'S ABSOLUTELY NOT THE CASE.

IT REALLY OFTEN STARTS BEFORE THAT WITH PSYCHOLOGICAL ABUSE.

UM, ALSO SEXUAL ABUSE IS PART OF THAT SPECTRUM.

AND THEN LASTLY, IS IT STOCKING OR COURSE OF CONTROL.

SO, UM, WHEN WE LOOK AT THIS WHOLE SPECTRUM OF INTIMATE PARTNER VIOLENCE, WHEN WE TALK ABOUT PSYCHOLOGICAL VIOLENCE AND STALKING, THAT CAN INCLUDE THINGS LIKE FINANCIAL CONTROL IN A HOME, RIGHT? IF SOMEONE'S NOT ALLOWED MONEY OR FOOD OR TIME WITH THEIR FRIENDS, ISOLATION, WE OFTEN SEE HOW THIS THAT'S HOW THIS CYCLE STARTS, RIGHT? IT STARTS THE SAME WAY FOR KIDS, RIGHT? YOU CAN'T HANG OUT WITH THIS FRIEND OVER HERE AT LUNCH.

YOU CAN'T, YOU KNOW, THEY'RE RESTRICTIVE IN THAT ACTION.

IT'S THE GATEWAY, UM, TO THE INTIMATE PARTNER VIOLENCE.

SO THIS IS ANOTHER ONE OF OUR LITTLE, UM, PSA'S, THAT'S GONE UP ON THE WEB AND IT'S THAT EVERYONE DESERVES HEALTHY RELATIONSHIPS AND REALLY TRYING TO ENCOURAGE PEOPLE TO TALK ABOUT IT BECAUSE WE KNOW THAT THESE AREN'T EASY CONVERSATIONS TO HAVE.

SO ANOTHER GATEWAY INTO REALLY EASILY TALKING TO KIDS ABOUT THIS IS LEARNING ABOUT THE HEALTHY RELATIONSHIP SPECTRUM.

SO WITH MY DAUGHTER, IT'S LIKE, WELL, WHAT IS EVEN A HEALTHY RELATIONSHIP? HOW CAN WE TELL US THESE WORDS AROUND AND WHO EVEN KNOWS? RIGHT.

SO THE LOVE IS RESPECT.ORG IS A GREAT WEBSITE.

WE'LL TALK JUST BRIEFLY ABOUT THAT IN OUR RESOURCES, BUT THEY PROVIDE ALL SORTS OF THINGS, INCLUDING THIS HEALTHY RELATIONSHIP TO ABUSIVE AND UNHEALTHY RELATIONSHIPS

[00:20:01]

SO JUST KIND OF A LITTLE INFORMATION FOR YOU GUYS TO TAKE BACK WHEN YOU'RE HAVING THESE CONVERSATIONS, OR IF YOU'RE HEARING SOMETHING OR YOUR SON OR DAUGHTER, OR A FRIEND OF THE FAMILY IS HEARING SOMETHING YOU CAN BE LIKE, WAIT A SECOND.

I THINK THAT'S PART OF AN ABUSIVE RELATIONSHIP OR COMMUNICATING THIS INFORMATION WITH KIDS.

ALL OF THESE GRAPHICS ARE CREATED FOR KIDS.

THEY'RE CREATED TO BE ABLE TO HAVE ADULT CHILD INTERACTIONS AND ALSO FOR KIDS TO HAVE THESE CONVERSATIONS WITH EACH OTHER AND HELP EACH OTHER OUT.

SO HAVING A COURAGEOUS CONVERSATION SUPER IMPORTANT, AND ONE OF THE BIGGEST THINGS WE WANT TO PROMOTE HERE TODAY, SO WHERE TO GO TO LEARN MORE, UM, FOR THIS LITTLE SOCIAL MEDIA SQUARE THERE, WE HAVE THAT YOUTH AND YOUNG ADULTS DESERVE INFORMATION.

AND WHEN IT COMES TO TALKING ABOUT DATING ABUSE.

SO I LEARNED IN JOINING THE COMMISSION AND, YOU KNOW, PUTTING THIS PRESENTATION TOGETHER A LOT MORE ABOUT TEEN DATING VIOLENCE OVER THE PAST FEW MONTHS.

AND I FOUND WE HAVE THIS WEBSITE, WE'VE USED IT AS A RESOURCE HERE IN CHANDLER FOR YEARS.

AND IT'S CALLED LOVE IS RESPECT.ORG.

SO A LOT OF OUR INFORMATION COMES FROM HERE.

THIS IS KIND OF ALL THE INFORMATION.

IF PEOPLE NEED IT, YOU CAN LIVE CHAT ON THE WEBSITE.

THERE'S A PHONE NUMBER OR KIDS CAN TEXT IN OR ADULTS TO LOVE IS 2, 2, 5, 2, 2 TO GET MORE RESOURCES AND INFORMATION.

AND THIS IS ALL GEARED TOWARDS YOUNG PEOPLE, RIGHT? SO IT'S ALL ABOUT HAVING THESE OPEN CONVERSATIONS THAT ARE IN AN APPROPRIATE TONE FOR TEENAGERS, UM, ALL OF THAT.

AND THEN WE'VE ALSO BROUGHT SOME RESOURCES HERE TONIGHT.

SO OUT ON THE TABLE, YOU GUYS CAN FIND ALL OF THESE.

UM, WE'VE BROUGHT A HEALTHY RELATIONSHIPS, HIGH SCHOOL EDUCATORS TOOLKIT OUR WHEEL OF POWER AND CONTROL THE RELATIONSHIP SPECTRUM.

SO THAT ONE THAT WE JUST SAW UP THERE WITH HEALTHY RELATIONSHIPS, UM, APPARENT DISCUSSION GUIDE, IF THERE ARE ANY PARENTS OUT THERE THAT WANT TO TALK TO THEIR KIDS ABOUT TEEN DATING VIOLENCE, AND THEN ALSO JUST A SHEET OF STATISTICS, SO WE CAN HELP SHARE KIND OF WHAT A, WHAT AN ISSUE IT IS DURING THIS MONTH.

OH, AND ONE MORE THING I DIDN'T HAVE ON THE SIDE IS I WANTED TO TELL YOU A LITTLE BIT ABOUT WHAT WE'RE DOING WITH OUR SCHOOLS.

SO THE DOMESTIC VIOLENCE COMMISSION HAS PARTNERED WITH THE CHANDLER HIGH SCHOOLS AND WE'RE GOING IN AND DURING THEIR LUNCH HOURS, WE HAVE TABLING EVENTS WHERE WE HAVE, UM, MEMBER OF THE COMMISSION INTERNS, OUR POLICE DEPARTMENT PARTNERS, AND TALK ABOUT TEEN DATING VIOLENCE AWARENESS, HAVE A BIG WHEEL, GO THROUGH ALL THE HEALTHY RELATIONSHIPS, THERE'S, UM, CANDY AND FUN ACTIVITIES AND GOODIES FOR THE KIDS JUST TO RAISE AWARENESS AND BE THERE FOR THEM.

SO I THINK AT THIS POINT WE HAVE FOUR SCHEDULED TABLING EVENTS, AND THEN WE'VE ACTUALLY, WE'VE DECIDED IT SHOULD BE A LITTLE LONGER.

SO WE'RE GOING TO TAKE IT INTO MARCH TOO.

SO WE'VE EXTENDED THAT INTO MARCH SO THAT WE CAN CAPTURE MORE SCHOOLS AND KIDS IN THAT WAY.

THANK YOU, POLLY.

AND YOU'VE MENTIONED THE TABLE, IS THAT OUT IN THE FOYER, JUST OUT IN THE FOYER, ALL THE RESOURCES AND ALL THE OTHER INFORMATION THAT YOU SHARED IS AVAILABLE ONLINE AS WELL FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE WATCHING, CORRECT? YEP.

YEAH.

ALL IT LOVE IS RESPECTED.ORG.

GREAT.

AND, UM, TO OUR AUDIENCE, BOTH POLLY AND AARON ARE, ARE, ARE PART OF OUR FIRST CLASS OF CIVIC.

SO IT'S KIND OF FUN WHAT WE STARTED AS IT GET INTRODUCED TO THE CITY OF CHANDLER AND TO NOW SEE PEOPLE SERVE AND DO SOME GREAT WORK FOR THE CITY AS PART OF OUR BOARDS, WE'RE RUNNING OUR SECOND, UH, CLASS RIGHT NOW.

AND WE'LL LOOK FORWARD TO CONTINUING THAT.

SO THANK YOU FOR YOUR WORK COUNCIL.

CURIOUS, DO YOU HAVE OTHER, YEP.

IF YOU WANT, YOU HAVE A LINK FOR THAT AS WELL.

SO OTHER OTHER FOLKS COULD ACTUALLY DONATE TO THEIR AGENCY.

ALSO CHANDLER HAS BECOME A VERY, IT'S A VERY BUSY AIRPORT.

SO CHALLENGING IS THE AIRPORT CONTINUES TO BE ONE OF THE BUSIEST GENERAL AVIATION AIRPORTS IN THE COUNTRY AND THE AIRPORT AREA SURROUNDING THE AIRPORT IS ONE OF CHANDLER'S FASTEST GROWING EMPLOYMENT CORRIDORS.

IT SAYS YOU HAVE NOT BECAUSE YOU ASKED THAT SO WELL DONE.

COUNCIL MEMBER ORLANDO.

I DON'T REMEMBER FOR YOU ASKED FOR A BRIEFING.

YEAH, MAYOR.

UM, THIS PROGRAM

[00:30:01]

AND IN FACT, UH, I WORKED MANY YEARS WITH GENERAL MAXON, WHO WAS A PREVIOUS JUDGE ACTUALLY STARTED THIS PROGRAM GENERAL MAX AND I SERVED IN THE GUARD TOGETHER.

AND I, I JUST THINK IT'S ANOTHER GOOD FEEL, GOOD STORY.

CAUSE WE DO HEAR A LOT OF NEGATIVE THINGS ABOUT WHAT'S GOING ON IN OUR COMMUNITIES.

AND I'VE ALWAYS SAID THIS BEFORE, MAYOR.

I KNOW I'VE HEARD YOU SAY THIS.

THIS IS WHERE THE REAL WORK GETS DONE RIGHT HERE AT THE CITY LEVEL AND THE TOWNS AND ALL THE COMMUNITIES AROUND OUR NATION.

SO ALL THE OTHER STUFF, THAT'S JUST STUFF YOU WANT WATER.

WE MAKE IT HAPPEN.

YOU WANT A GOOD MUNICIPAL COURT.

WE MAKE IT HAPPEN.

SO I JUST WANT YOU TO TELL A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE VETERANS COURT, WHAT IT REALLY MEANS TO THE CITIZENS OF CHANDLER AND WHAT WE'RE DOING.

GOOD, GOOD THINGS THERE.

WELCOME JESSICA.

THANK YOU, MAYOR.

UH, COUNCIL MEMBER, ORLANDO COUNCIL MEMBERS.

I AM REALLY HONORED TO TELL YOU MORE ABOUT OUR VETERANS COURT ITEM.

NUMBER FOUR ON THE AGENDA IS THE IGA WITH THE CITY OF TEMPE THAT ALLOWS OUR COURT TO CONTINUE ON.

THIS IS THE SEVENTH YEAR THAT WE'RE IN OUR VETERANS COURT AND THIS IGA WILL CONTINUE IT ON FOR FIVE MORE YEARS.

UM, IT IS REALLY A REWARDING PROGRAM.

WE ARE ABLE TO CONNECT THE VETERANS THAT HAVE UNFORTUNATELY CONNECTED WITH THE, THE CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM, UM, WITH RESOURCES AND HELP TO GET THEM, UH, BETTER OFF.

SO UNFORTUNATELY WHEN THEY ARE SERVING OUR COUNTRY IN THE MILITARY CAPACITY, THEY HAVE INTERACTIONS AND EXPERIENCES THAT MIGHT CAUSE THEM TO HAVE PTSD, ALCOHOL ABUSE, SUBSTANCE ABUSE.

THEY MAY HAVE SOME MENTAL TRAUMA AND, BUT FOR THEIR SERVICE, THEY MIGHT NOT HAVE HAD THESE ISSUES COME UP.

AND SO THIS COURT IS REALLY A WONDERFUL SERVICE TO OUR COMMUNITY.

OUR MEMBERS OF THE, OF THE MILITARY THAT HAVE THOSE INCIDENTS COME UP, THERE'S A MINOR INCIDENCES, A DOMESTIC VIOLENCE SITUATION WITH A FAMILY MEMBER BECAUSE OF THEIR ALCOHOL ABUSE OR, UM, A DUI BECAUSE THEY WERE UPSET AND DROVE OUT OF THEIR HOUSE FOR SOME REASON OR ANOTHER.

SO WE DO HAVE A WONDERFUL PARTNERSHIP WITH OUR CITY LAW DEPARTMENT, WITH OUR CITY PROSECUTOR AND WITH HER, UM, ASSISTANCE AND THE COURT'S ABILITY TO FACILITATE THIS AND OUR WORK WITH, UM, THE VETERANS COURT AND THROUGH MARICOPA COUNTY, WE HAVE, UM, ALL OF THESE RESOURCES FOR VETERANS.

SO WE'VE GOT GREAT SUCCESS STORIES, PEOPLE THAT CONNECTED WITH VA SERVICES FOR COUNSELING, SUBSTANCE ABUSE, UM, EVEN, UH, HOUSING ASSISTANCE IF THEY NEED IT.

UM, SO WE SEE ABOUT 40 TO 50 PEOPLE PER YEAR.

OUR NUMBERS HAVE INCREASED.

SO THIS FISCAL YEAR WE'RE EXPECTING ABOUT 60 MEMBERS OF OUR MILITARY TO GO THROUGH THIS VETERANS COURT.

AND THE FUNDING HAS ALREADY BEEN ALLOTTED FROM THE LAST FISCAL YEAR.

WE ASKED FOR THIS MONEY FOR THIS YEAR.

SO WE'RE ASKING FOR COUNCIL TO APPROVE THIS IGA.

UM, IT REALLY IS A GREAT BENEFIT TO THE COMMUNITY.

IT HAS A RIPPLE EFFECT BECAUSE ONCE WE WERE ABLE TO HELP A VETERAN, NOT ONLY DOES IT HELP THAT PERSON, IT HELPS THEIR FAMILY MEMBERS AND THEN THE COMMUNITY.

AND IT REALLY DOES IMPACT THEIR QUALITY OF LIFE HERE IN CHANDLER.

AND IT IS SPECIFICALLY AS COUNCIL MEMBER, ORLANDO SAYS THE BREAD AND BUTTER HERE IN OUR CITY IS WHERE THE THINGS HAPPEN IS IN OUR CITY COURTS.

IT DOESN'T HAPPEN IN THE SUPERIOR COURT.

DOESN'T HAPPEN IN THE SUPREME COURT.

IT HAPPENS HERE, DAY-TO-DAY ON THE GROUND, WORKING WITH THE PEOPLE THAT COME IN AND INTERACT WITH US.

AND THESE ARE, THIS IS JUST ONE SMALL WAY THAT WE CAN ASSIST AND PAYBACK THE MEMBERS OF THE MILITARY THAT SERVED FOR US.

SO WE APPRECIATE THAT AND I'M HAPPY TO TAKE ANY QUESTIONS.

I KNOW I HAD THE QUESTIONS COUNSEL, ANY QUESTIONS I JUST WANT TO SAY, THANK YOU AGAIN, CONTINUE TO HELP OUR VETERANS.

WE NEED ALL THE HELP.

WE HAVE A VETERANS COMMISSION AND CITY OF CHANDLER, AND I HOPE THAT WE ARE INCORPORATING THOSE INDIVIDUALS INTO THE CONVERSATION SO THAT THAT WAY THEY CAN GET THE WORD OUT TO OUR VETERANS COMMISSION, UH, TO OUR VETERAN COMMUNITY.

SO THANK YOU.

THANK YOU.

THANK YOU, JESSICA RUBIN.

AND, UM, I DON'T REMEMBER 16 AS WELL.

COUNCIL MEMBER ORLANDO.

THANK YOU.

THANK YOU, MAYOR.

WE'VE UM, I'VE ASKED THE STAFF, THIS IS ANOTHER GOOD STORY THAT I THINK THE RESIDENTS NEED TO UNDERSTAND WHAT WE'RE DOING.

AGAIN, SOMETIMES WE GET CRITICIZED WHAT WE DO WITH FEDERAL FUNDING AND FROM PANKA CHRIS, WHAT WE'RE DOING OUR OWN DOLLARS.

UM, SO I'VE ASKED, UH, LEON TO AT LEAST GIVE US A LITTLE BACKGROUND WHAT WE'RE DOING HERE AND WHAT ARE SOME OF THE TANGENT AREAS THAT WE'RE REMOVING IN TO HELP OUR RESIDENTS.

OKAY, GOOD EVENING.

MAYOR MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL, THE ITEM THAT YOU HAVE BEFORE YOU TONIGHT, ITEM NUMBER 16 IS A COMPANION ITEM TO A RESOLUTION THAT WE BROUGHT TO COUNCIL ON DECEMBER 9TH AT THE DECEMBER 9TH COUNCIL MEETING.

WHAT THIS DOES IS IT ALLOWS THE CITY TO WORK WITH MARICOPA COUNTY ON OUR EMERGENCY RENTAL ASSISTANCE FUNDING.

THIS IS AN ENHANCEMENT FOR OUR COMMUNITY, AS IT ALLOWS RESIDENTS TO NOW BE ABLE TO APPLY ONLINE FOR THESE VERY IMPORTANT DOLLARS.

AND THEN IN TURN, UM, THE COUNTY WILL SUBCONTRACT WITH THE SEN TO PROCESS THE APPLICATIONS.

AND ONE OF THE BIG BENEFITS TO OUR RESIDENTS IS THEY CAN GO AND LOG IN AT ANY POINT AND SEE HAVE REAL-TIME

[00:35:01]

THE ITEM TONIGHT IS $7 MILLION IN REALLOCATED, EMERGENCY RENTAL ASSISTANCE FUNDS.

THESE FUNDS WHERE WE ALLOCATED BY THE STATE IS THE STATE SUGGESTED TO THE TREASURY THAT THESE FUNDS GO TO CHANDLER.

AND THERE WERE TWO REASONS FOR THAT ONE, CERTAINLY THE NEED WAS HERE.

AND SECOND OF ALL, WE DID VERY WELL WITH ALLOCATING OUR FIRST ROUND OF EMERGENCY RENTAL ASSISTANCE.

IN ADDITION, THE CITY IS RECEIVING APPROXIMATELY $6.3 MILLION IN EMERGENCY RENTAL ASSISTANCE TO FUNDING.

AND THAT TOO IS ON YOUR AGENDA TONIGHT.

YOU WILL BE ACCEPTING THESE FUNDS.

AND THEN AGAIN, APPROVING THE INTER-GOVERNMENTAL AGREEMENT WITH MARICOPA COUNTY, FOR THE ADMINISTRATION OF THESE FUNDS OR THE ALLOCATION OUT TO THE COMMUNITY, UM, MAYOR.

SO, UH, WHAT I UNDERSTAND THAT WE'LL SEND, WE'LL STILL BE HELPING FOLKS THAT HAVE, THAT DOESN'T HAVE ACCESS TO THE COMPUTER AND THE ACTUAL COME INTO THEIR OFFICE AND THEY COULD WORK, WORK WITH THEM IN THEIR HOME OFFICE, CORRECT THROUGH THE MAYOR COUNCIL MEMBER ORLANDO, THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL SYSTEMS SET UP TO BE ABLE TO HELP RESIDENTS IN NEED THAT EITHER ARE NOT ABLE TO ACCESS A COMPUTER OR MAY HAVE SOME CHALLENGES WITH USING IT.

THE COUNTY THEMSELVES HAS PROCESSED.

WE HAVE OUR CARES TEAM THAT CAN ASSIST AS WELL AS THE SENSE.

SO WE WILL MAKE SURE THAT IF ANYBODY HAS ANY CHALLENGES WITH USING A COMPUTER, WE WILL HAVE SOMEONE TO HELP THEM.

OKAY, GREAT.

SO ADDITIONAL FUNDING, IS THAT COMING DOWN AS WELL, OR THIS IS PROBABLY THE END OF THE ACTIVITY THROUGH THE MAYOR COUNCIL MEMBER ORLANDO.

THE CITY HAS, UM, BEEN ADVISED THAT WE HAVE ABOUT ANOTHER $18 MILLION IN MILLION DOLLARS OF NEED IN OUR COMMUNITY.

SO WE HAVE, UM, SUBMITTED PAPERWORK TO THE TREASURY TO ASK FOR ADDITIONAL FUNDS THAT COULD COME FROM AGAIN.

IF THE STATE DECIDES THAT THEY WANT TO REALLOCATE SOME OF THEIR FUNDS, IT COULD COME FROM A NATIONAL SWEEP OF FUNDS OF COMMUNITIES THAT ARE NOT EXPANDING.

AT THIS POINT.

WE REALLY HAVE NO INDICATION IF WE WILL GET ANY ADDITIONAL MONEY, BUT WE DID PUT A REQUEST IN TO MATCH WHAT THE ANALYSIS OF THE NEED WAS IN OUR COMMUNITY.

ALRIGHT, I APPRECIATE IT.

AND AGAIN, I THINK THIS SPUN OUT A LITTLE CONTROL HERE BECAUSE I WAS GETTING PERSONALLY, I WAS GETTING SOME DIFFERENT STORIES.

THERE WAS DIFFERENT ISSUES AT ONE TIME.

I CERTAINLY APPRECIATE YOU EDUCATING ME AND GETTING THIS BACK BACK ON TRACK.

SO WE'LL DEFINITELY WANT TO SEE THIS.

MY, MY ONLY OTHER CONCERN WAS OBVIOUSLY A SENSE ON A GREAT JOB IN OUR COMMUNITY.

THERE'S A TRUST RELATIONSHIP BUILT THERE.

UH, THERE'S YOU COULD SAY A LOT ABOUT PEOPLE, THE PEOPLE, YOU KNOW, PERSONALITY AND WORK TOGETHER.

SO THAT'S IMPORTANT THAT WE KEEP THEM ENGAGED BECAUSE THEY ARE THE BOOTS ON THE GROUND.

THAT FOLKS THAT ARE MAKING IT REALLY HAPPEN.

SO HOPEFULLY KEEP THEM ENGAGED, OBVIOUSLY FIGURE OUT HOW WE COULD WORK WITH THEM.

AND NUMBER TWO, MY, MY, MY BIGGEST ISSUE WHEN YOU AND I CHATTED WITH YOU ABOUT THIS, AS WELL AS YOU KNOW, CITY MANAGER IS, IS A NEED GOING TOWARDS THE CITIZENS THAT REALLY NEED IT.

AND I KNOW THERE'S ADMINISTRATIVE FEES AT TO BE STRIPPED OFF.

I KNOW THERE'S PROGRAMMATIC FEES, BUT I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT, SORRY, I PUT MY HANDS DOWN HERE BEING ITALIAN.

IT'S TOUGH NOT TO TALK WITH YOUR HANDS, BUT ANYWAY, UH, YEAH, YOU HAD THE SAME PROBLEM.

UM, NO, SERIOUSLY.

I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE, WE, YOU KNOW, WE'RE GUARANTEEING THE RESIDENTS, THAT THE FUNDING IS GOING TO THE PEOPLE THAT NEED IT AND NOT TO ADMINISTRATIVE FEES AND THINGS LIKE THAT.

YES.

UH, THROUGH THE MAYOR COUNCIL MEMBER ORLANDO, THE TREASURY ACTUALLY HAS A 10% CAP ON HOW MUCH MONEY TO GO THROUGH ADMINISTRATION.

SO WHETHER IT IS THE COUNTY CUTTING A CHECK DIRECTLY TO THE LANDLORD, WHETHER IT'S A CIN PROCESSING, THE APPLICATIONS, CITY STAFF, DOING OUR PORTION OF ADMINISTRATION BETWEEN THE THREE OF US, THERE CAN BE NO MORE THAN 10% OF THE DOLLARS THAT ARE, ARE KEPT FOR ADMINISTRATION.

AND I TELL YOU THAT EVEN WITH, UM, THE IR ONE INITIAL ALLOCATION THAT WE WERE ABLE TO USE LESS THAN THE 10% ON ADMINISTRATION, ALSO THE COUNTY, UM, THERE WAS CERTAINLY A GAP BETWEEN WHEN WE HAD THE ERA ONE FUNDING AND THIS ERA TO, OR THE IR ONE REALLOCATED FUNDING GOING OUT TO THE COMMUNITY.

SO THERE WAS A BACKLOG OF APPLICATIONS.

THE COUNTY THEMSELVES ARE USING THEIR OWN STAFF TO HELP PROCESS THE BACKLOG AND THEY'RE USING THEIR OWN FUNDING TO PAY FOR THOSE EXPENSES.

ALRIGHT.

YEAH.

LESS ENROLLMENT WE'LL DO WAS PUT PEOPLE OR PEOPLE ON THE STREET.

SO WE CERTAINLY APPRECIATE WHAT'S GOING ON WITH THIS FUNDING.

THANK YOU.

THANK YOU, LEAH.

THANK YOU, MAYOR.

THANKS CITY MANAGER, COUNCIL.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? COUNCIL MEMBER HARRIS.

YES.

THE, YOUR TEAM HAVE DONE A PHENOMENAL JOB.

UM, I SHARED THE STORY OF WHEN, UM, THIS PAST CHRISTMAS WHERE A RESIDENT REALLY NEEDED THE SUPPORT AND NEEDED TO GET THROUGH AND, UM, THEY NEEDED HELP WITH RENTAL ASSISTANCE AND THEY WAS FACING EVICTION IN LESS THAN A WEEK.

YOUR TEAM DURING CHRISTMAS BREAK CAME THROUGH, MADE SURE IT HAPPENED.

CITY MANAGER, YOUR TEAM DID GREAT.

AND WE WAS ABLE TO GET THAT RESIDENT HELP.

I KNOW THAT YOU GUYS ARE DOING A GREAT JOB.

I KNOW A SIN IS WORKING AND YOU GUYS HAVE BEEN VERY EFFICIENT WITH THE RESOURCES THAT HAS BEEN ALLOCATED TO THE CITY OF CHANDLER.
