City Council Meeting Minutes June 2, 2020 • Samples will be sent to a lab for testing • Implementing research done in partnership with Katerra • By: Texas State University multi -disciplinary team What this will provide that parking lot collection stations do not is: partially enclosed space, place to store samples appropriately, less contact between people taking the samples and the public. The building is multi-purpose in that it could be used in the future for immunizations and vaccinations that are not Covid-19 related also. It can be rapidly deployed in various locations. S. Administration requested $65,000 (15%) that will provide technical assistance to funded programs, ensure the appropriate use and documentation of funds and monitor and report progress to HUD. Staff will need to track hours of administration work. Staff recommends funding for administration and items 1,3, and 4 because these programs provide services to address the needs that are directly related to COVID 19 pandemic and also meets the two of the CDBG national objectives of providing services to low/moderate income individual and meeting an urgent need. 1. COVID 19 Small Business Recovery for $200,000 3. Advocacy Services for Abused and Neglected Children for $55,600 4. COVID 19 Collection Station for $105,530 5. Administration for $64,131 Program application 2 does not meet a CDBG national objective and is not recommended for funding. Mr. Ostrowski stated that the COVID-19 Community Recovery Specialist Position does not meet a CDBG national objective because it is not serving a specific clientele who can be tracked. The next steps are: June 2 Public hearing on proposed programs and projects June 7-13 Public comment period on draft action plan June 16 Request City Council approval of action plan The Mayor opened the Public Hearing at 8:16 p.m. Those who spoke: Jason Mock, President of Chamber of Commerce, spoke on behalf of the City of San Marcos Page 19
