          ISSUE IS PLEASE SILENT AND START. 
          UM, HAS EVERYBODY READ THE MINUTES OF MEETING? IF NOT, WOULD THAT ANY CORRECTIONS THAT ARE THERE, ANY CORRECTIONS WOULD LIKE TO POINT MISSPELLED THE SHI MOTION. 
          SECOND JERRY CLICK IS WITH THE . 
          WELL, THANK YOU. 
          HOW Y'ALL DOING THIS MORNING? EVERYBODY GOOD? WELL, I'M NOT A TECHNOLOGY GUY, SO I APOLOGIZE. 
          LET ME SEE IF I CAN, JESSE, I MAY NEED YOU. 
          I SEE IT. 
          I JUST CAN'T GET IT DOWN THERE TO IT. 
          WE'RE GONNA DO STOP THE BLEED THIS MORNING. 
          UM, IF YOU'RE NOT FAMILIAR WITH STOP THE BLEED. 
          UH, THANK YOU. 
          HOW'D YOU DO THAT? UH, . 
          I KIND DOWN. 
          HE'S GOT MAGIC. 
          HE CAN STOP THE TALENTED STOP THE, AND THEN I JUST ARROW DOWN. 
          YEAH. 
          OKAY. 
          IMPORTANT STOP. 
          SO STOP THE BLEED IS, OF COURSE, THAT WAS BASICALLY DEVELOPED AFTER THE COLUMBINE HIGH SCHOOL SHOOTING. 
          IF YOU REMEMBER THE COLUMBINE HIGH SCHOOL SHOOTING, IT CHANGED EVERYTHING BEFORE THAT SHOOTING. 
          IF THERE WAS A MASS INCIDENT LIKE THAT, THE POLICE WOULD GO IN AND SECURE THE SCENE BEFORE THE FIRE DEPARTMENT, EMS. ALL THAT EVER WENT IN. 
          WELL, IF YOU REMEMBER, SEVERAL PEOPLE DIED BECAUSE OF THAT DELAY. 
          IT WAS HOURS AND HOURS AND HOURS AFTER SOME PE AFTER THE EMS PEOPLE GOT TO GO IN THERE. 
          THEY DID HAVE SOME PEOPLE THAT HAD GOT TO GO IN THERE AND PROVIDE A LITTLE BIT OF TREATMENT WITH THE POLICE, BUT IT WASN'T NEAR ENOUGH. 
          UH, IF YOU REMEMBER, THERE WERE, THERE WAS PICTURES WHERE THEY HAD SIGNS IN THE WINDOW. 
          THREE PEOPLE DYING IN HERE. 
          PLEASE SEND HELP NOW. 
          SO THAT CHANGED EVERYTHING. 
          SO BASICALLY AFTER THAT, A LOT OF ORGANIZATIONS GOT TOGETHER, AMERICAN COLLEGE OF SURGEONS, AMERICAN COLLEGE OF EMERGENCY PHYSICIANS, AND THEY PUT TOGETHER THIS COURSE, THIS COURSE IS TAUGHT FOR LAY PEOPLE. 
          THAT'S, THAT'S WHAT YOU ARE. 
          YOU'RE A LAY PERSON. 
          NOW THIS SAYS THERE'S SOME IMAGES SHOWN THAT MAY BE DISTURBING. 
          THERE'S NOT. 
          THEY TOOK 'EM OUT. 
          I JUST CAN'T DELETE THIS SLIDE. 
          . 
          SO THE NUMBER ONE CAUSE OF PREVENTABLE DEATH AFTER INJURY IS BLEEDING. 
          IF YOU REMEMBER THE LAS VEGAS SHOOTING, A LOT OF THOSE PEOPLE DIED BECAUSE EMS HELP. 
          COULDN'T GET TO 'EM SOON ENOUGH. 
          BUT WHAT WE HAVE IN GARLAND NOW IS WE HAVE MEDICS ON THE SWAT TEAM. 
          WE HAVE MEDICS WITH OUR FIRE DEPARTMENT THAT TRAIN WITH THE SWAT TEAMS, AND THEY GO IN WITH THE SWAT TEAMS. SO NOW IF THERE IS A SITUATION, THERE WILL BE A MEDIC ON SCENE RIGHT THERE. 
          SO THEY'LL GO IN, THEY'LL TRY TO SECURE A LITTLE BITTY PLACE RIGHT THERE SO THAT THEY CAN SAFELY AND EFFECTIVELY TREAT PEOPLE. 
          AND THEN WE'LL TRY TO GET 'EM OUTTA THERE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. 
          THE LAS VEGAS SHOOTING, A LOT OF PEOPLE WERE SAVED BECAUSE THEY LEFT A WORK TRUCK, PARKED THERE, A PICKUP TRUCK WITH THE KEYS IN IT. 
          AND SO PEOPLE LITERALLY JUST THREW BODIES IN THE BACK OF THAT TRUCK, DROVE 'EM TO THE HOSPITAL, CAME BACK, LOADED UP AGAIN, DROVE 'EM TO THE HOSPITAL. 
          AND THAT SAVED COUNTLESS LIVES DOING THAT. 
          IMAGINE BEING THAT CITY WORKER COMING BACK THE NEXT DAY TO GET YOUR TRUCK AND IT'S JUST FULL OF BLOOD AND BODY PARTS AND GUTS AND, BUT IT IS WHAT IT IS. 
          SO BLEEDING IS SOMETHING WE REALLY NEED TO FOCUS ON. 
          WHERE CAN BLEEDING HAPPEN? WELL, WHEN WE THINK, THINK OF STOP THE BLEED, WE THINK OF MASS SHOOTINGS. 
          MASS STABBINGS. 
          IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE THAT. 
          I SAW A GUY ONE TIME THAT WAS MOWING HIS YARD AND HIT A PIECE OF METAL THAT I GUESS HAD FLOWN UP FROM THE STREET AND IT SHOT OUT THE BACK AND JUST ABOUT TOOK HIS FOOT OFF, HIT HIM RIGHT ABOVE THE ANKLE, JUST ABOUT TOOK HIS FOOT OFF. 
          AND I, IT WAS ALL I COULD DO. 
          WE DIDN'T HAVE TOURNIQUETS BACK THEN. 
          IT WAS ALL I COULD DO TO STOP THE BLEEDING. 
          I'VE HAD NEIGHBORS THAT HAVE CUT THEIR TOES OFF WITH LAWNMOWERS THAT HAVE CUT THEIR FINGERS OFF WITH POWER SAWS. 
          IT CAN HAPPEN ANYWHERE. 
          SO FIRST THERE'S TWO THINGS. 
          TWO GOES TO THIS CLASS. 
          ONE, IDENTIFY LIFE-THREATENING, BLEEDING, LIFE-THREATENING, NOT 
          [00:05:01]
YOU GOTTA DROP OF BLOOD ON YOUR FINGERNAIL, LIFE-THREATENING, BLEEDING. 
          AND THEN WE'RE GONNA STOP THE BLEED. 
          HOW ARE WE GONNA DO THAT? OR WE'RE EITHER GONNA DO IT BY USING DIRECT PRESSURE PACKING OR TOURNIQUETS. 
          AND THERE IS A PIECE OF PAPER, MA'AM, I BELIEVE IT'S SITTING RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU. 
          MS. CHANDLER, IF Y'ALL WOULD PLEASE PUT YOUR PRINT YOUR NAME ON IT RIGHT HERE, MA'AM, THIS IS THE ROSTER THAT I NEED. 
          IF YOU'LL PLEASE PRINT YOUR NAME ON THAT, ON THAT AND YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS. 
          I DO HAVE TO TURN THIS IN TO THE STOP TO PLEA.ORG, WHICH IS A FEDERAL ORGANIZATION. 
          I ALSO HAVE SOME STUFF BACK HERE. 
          IF ANYBODY IN THE AUDIENCE WANTS TO PARTICIPATE AND WANTS TO HAVE YOUR NAME ON IT, THERE'S SIGNUP SHEETS BACK THERE. 
          SO JUST REMEMBER IN ANY SITUATION, YOUR SAFETY'S NUMBER ONE, IF YOU GET HURT, YOU'RE NOT A PART OF THE SOLUTION ANYMORE. 
          YOU'RE PART OF THE PROBLEM. 
          SO ONLY HELP OTHERS WHEN IT'S SAFE TO DO SO. 
          IF YOU'RE HELPING SOMEBODY AND THE SITUATION TURNS UNSAFE, WHICH CAN HAPPEN VERY QUICKLY, GET OUTTA THERE IF YOU CAN TAKE THEM, THAT PERSON WITH YOU, TRY TO TAKE 'EM WITH YOU. 
          BUT YOU GOTTA TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF BECAUSE IF 15 PEOPLE VOLUNTEER TO GO HELP AND ALL THOSE 15 PEOPLE GET HURT, NOW THEY JUST 15 MORE PEOPLE THAT SOMEBODY ELSE HAS TO TAKE CARE OF. 
          SO SAFETY'S GOTTA BE YOUR NUMBER ONE CONCERN. 
          EVERYBODY THINKS THAT YOU GOT GLOVES IN YOUR POCKET. 
          YOU DON'T HAVE GLOVES IN YOUR POCKET. 
          THAT'S ONE OF THE THINGS YOU'LL SEE. 
          PUT GLOVES ON. 
          PUT GLOVES ON. 
          I DON'T HAVE GLOVES ON ME RIGHT NOW. 
          DO Y'ALL HAVE GLOVES ON YOU? NO, NO. 
          WASH YOUR HANDS WITH SOAP AND WATER. 
          THAT, THAT, THAT KILL KILLS MOST OF THE STUFF. 
          BUT IF YOU DO GET BLOOD IN YOUR MOUTH, YOUR EYES, THIS SAYS IF YOU GET BLOOD ON YOU, IF YOU GET BLOOD IN YOUR MOUTH, YOUR EYES, THINGS LIKE THAT, YOU NEED TO GO TO YOUR DOCTOR. 
          THEY NEED TO RUN TESTS, MAKE SURE YOU DIDN'T GET ANY BLOOD, BLOOD ASSOCIATED DISEASES. 
          BUT MOST OF THE TIME IF SOMEBODY'S RUNNING THROUGH HERE RIGHT NOW, THEY'RE BLEEDING. 
          I GOT NOTHING. 
          I'M JUST GONNA GRAB IT WITH MY HANDS. 
          THEN I'LL WASH MY HANDS LATER. 
          SOAP AND WATER. 
          OKAY, WE'RE GONNA FOCUS ON ABCS. 
          A IS ALERT, CALL NINE ONE. 
          ONE B IS BLEEDING AND C IS COMPRESSED. 
          CALLING NINE ONE ONE. 
          WHEN YOU CALL 9 1 1, EVERYBODY KNOWS IF YOU'VE GOT A LANDLINE THAT'S PLUGGED INTO THE WALL, YOU CALL 9 1 1. 
          WHEN THE DISPATCHER, THE CALL TAKER ANSWERS THE PHONE, IT'S GONNA SHOW THE ADDRESS. 
          YOUR CELL PHONE DOESN'T DO THAT. 
          NOW WE DO HAVE THE ABILITY HERE, UH, TO PICK UP ON WHERE YOUR CELL PHONE IS, BUT IT'S A LITTLE BIT TIMELY. 
          IT TAKES SOME TIME. 
          ALSO, YOU, ONCE YOU MAKE A CALL ON THE CELL PHONE, THAT JUST GOES OUT OVER THE AIR. 
          SO IT DEPENDS ON WHAT TOWER PICKS IT UP. 
          I KNEW A GUY THAT WAS MISSING FROM DALLAS AND THEY, THEY LAST PINGED HIS PHONE AT LAKE CHARLES, LOUISIANA, AND HE NEVER LEFT THE DALLAS AREA. 
          SO NOBODY CAN EXPLAIN THAT. 
          BUT IF YOU'RE USING YOUR CELL PHONE, IF YOU DON'T HAVE A CORRECT ADDRESS, GIVE US THE BEST LOCATION YOU CAN GIVE US. 
          ALSO, YOU'RE GONNA FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS THAT THE NINE ONE ONE CALL TAKER GIVES YOU. 
          AND IF YOU CAN, LET 'EM KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON, HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE INVOLVED. 
          YOU KNOW, IT'S A MASS SHOOTING. 
          I'VE SEEN SEVERAL PEOPLE GO DOWN AT LEAST 10 OR MORE GO DOWN. 
          THAT KIND OF CUES THEM AS TO WHAT TO DO AND WHAT KIND OF RESOURCES THEY NEED TO SEND. 
          BE BLEEDING. 
          FIRST YOU HAVE TO FIND THE SOURCE OF BLEEDING. 
          YOU'RE GONNA LOOK FOR. 
          REMEMBER THESE THREE THINGS, CONTINUOUS BLEEDING, LARGE VOLUME, BLEEDING, PULLING OF BLOOD. 
          SO CONTINUOUS BLEEDING. 
          IT'S NOT STOPPING LARGE VOLUME OF BLEEDING. 
          MAN, IT, IT'S, THEY'RE, THEY'RE SOAKING THROUGH ALL THEIR CLOTHES, PULLING THEIR BLOOD. 
          THEY'RE IN A POOL OF BLOOD THAT'S ABOUT HALF THE SIZE OF THEM. 
          THAT'S PRETTY SIGNIFICANT. 
          THERE MAY BE MULTIPLE PLACES THE VICTIM IS BLEEDING FROM. 
          SO YOU MAY FIND ONE SPOT AND YOU'RE FIXING THAT. 
          BUT THERE COULD BE OTHER PLACES THEY'RE BLEEDING FROM. 
          CLOTHING MAY ALSO HIDE LIFE-THREATENING, BLEEDING. 
          AND I DON'T UNDERSTAND IT, BUT YOU'VE ALL SEEN IT. 
          THESE KIDS OUT THERE, YOU'LL SEE SOME TODAY WEARING HOODIE SWEATSHIRTS, REAL THICK COTTON THAT'S GONNA ABSORB A LOT OF BLOOD BEFORE IT EVER STARTS SHOWING THROUGH TO THE SURFACE. 
          SO MY CLAIM TO FAME IS I'M GONNA CUT YOUR CLOTHES OFF IF YOU'RE INJURED AND I MAKE A CALL ON YOU ON THE AMBULANCE, I'M STRIPPING YOU NAKED. 
          'CAUSE I CAN'T TREAT WHAT I CAN'T SEE AMADOR TELL YOU THAT HE'S BEEN WITH ME WHEN I'VE DONE IT. 
          SO OF COURSE I CAN'T DO THAT. 
          I DON'T RECOMMEND YOU GO TO THE, INTO BROOKSHIRES OR INTO KROGERS AND YOU START CUTTING PEOPLE'S CLOTHES OFF . 
          BUT JUST KNOW IF YOU'VE GOT SOMEBODY THAT'S HURT AND THEY'RE BLEEDING, YOU'VE GOTTA FIND THAT SOURCE OF BLEEDING. 
          SO WHERE ARE THEY GONNA BLEED FROM? ARMS AND LEGS, NECK, ARMPITS AND GROIN. 
          WE'RE GONNA CALL THAT THE JUNCTION. 
          AND THEN THE BODY. 
          SO YOUR LIMBS, THE JUNCTION WHERE ALL YOUR LIMBS MEET YOUR BODY AND YOUR NECK MEETS YOUR BODY. 
          AND THEN THE BODY SEE COMPRESS PRESSURE. 
          YOU WANNA PUT DIRECT PRESSURE ON THE WOUND AND I, AND, AND YOU'RE GOING TO DO PRESSURE THAT'S SUFFICIENT, SUFFICIENT TO STOP THE BLEEDING. 
          SO WHATEVER I'VE GOT, I RECOMMEND ALWAYS HAVING A BANDANA IN YOUR PURSE OR IN YOUR POCKET. 
          THE OLD SCARVES, UM, T-SHIRTS, DIRTY SOCKS. 
          I DON'T CARE WHAT YOU GOT. 
          WE DON'T CARE ABOUT INFECTION RIGHT NOW. 
          WE DON'T CARE ABOUT THAT. 
          THEY CAN TAKE CARE OF THAT LATER. 
          WE CARE ABOUT STOPPING THE BLEEDING. 
          SO WHATEVER YOU'VE GOT, I'LL TAKE MY SHIRT OFF. 
          YOU'VE GOT A, A BANDANA IN YOUR PURSE. 
          YOU'RE GONNA GRAB IT AND YOU'RE GONNA PUT IT ON THE WOUND. 
          OKAY? AND WE'RE GONNA PUT ENOUGH PRESSURE, WE'RE TALKING, THIS IS LIFE THREATENING BLEEDING. 
          SO JUST HOLDING IT ON 
          [00:10:01]
THE WOUND'S PROBABLY NOT GONNA HELP. 
          YOU'RE GONNA PUT YOUR PRE YOUR BODY WEIGHT ON IT, OKAY? NOW, IT'S NOT GONNA BE COMFORTABLE TO THESE PEOPLE. 
          ONE, THEY'RE ALREADY HURT TWO, NOW YOU'RE PUTTING PRESSURE ON THAT WOUND. 
          SO THEY'RE GONNA BE SCREAMING AND CUSSING AT YOU, BUT YOU'VE GOTTA PUT PRESSURE ON IT. 
          YOU WANT TO USE JUST THE RIGHT SIDES OF THE CLOTH TO COVER THAT WOUND. 
          THE REASON BEING, IF YOU DON'T DO THAT, IF YOU'VE GOT A BIG PIECE OF, OF CLOTH OR WHATEVER, YOU'RE GONNA END UP PUTTING PRESSURE WHERE YOU DON'T NEED TO PUT PRESSURE. 
          YOU WANT TO PUT PRESSURE DIRECTLY ON THE WOUND. 
          IF IT STOPS THE BLEEDING, KEEP PRESSURE ON IT TILL 9 1 1 GETS THERE. 
          AND THEN, I DON'T KNOW IF I CAN SHOW THIS. 
          SHE'S JUST SHOWING HOW TO COVER A WOUND. 
          OH, LET'S SEE. 
          SO SHE'S GONNA GRAB WHATEVER SHE'S GOT. 
          AND LADIES, I'M TELLING YOU, IF SOMEBODY'S DYING, AND I'M JUST GONNA BE BLUNT, TAKE YOUR SHIRT OFF IF YOU GOT A, IF THAT'S WHAT YOU GOT, THAT'S WHAT YOU GOT. 
          YOU'RE STANDING THERE IN YOUR BRA, YOU'RE STANDING THERE IN YOUR BRA, BUT YOU'RE SAVING SOMEBODY'S LIFE. 
          OKAY? AND SHE'S JUST PUTTING DIRECT PRESSURE RIGHT ON THAT WOUND. 
          OKAY? PACKING. 
          SO WE PUT PRESSURE ON THERE, IT DIDN'T WORK. 
          NOW WE'RE GONNA PACK IT. 
          WHAT DO WE PACK? WE'RE GONNA PACK THE LIMBS, WE'RE GONNA PACK THE JUNCTIONS, OKAY? WE'RE NOT GONNA PACK THE BODY, WE'RE NOT GONNA PACK THE HEAD WE HEAD AND YOUR BODY ARE A CAVITY. 
          IF THERE'S WOUNDS TO THE, TO THE ABDOMEN, TO THE CHEST AREA, WOUNDS TO THE HEAD, THEY'VE GOTTA GET TO THE HOSPITAL AS FAST AS THEY CAN. 
          AND A LOT OF TIMES THEY'LL BLEED INTERNALLY. 
          AND YOU MIGHT NOT SEE THAT. 
          WE DON'T WANT TO PACK ANYTHING IN THE HEAD OR FACE BECAUSE YOU'RE GETTING INTO THE BRAIN AREA. 
          AND WE DON'T WANNA PACK ANYTHING INTO THE BODY BECAUSE THERE'S ORGANS AND YOU'RE PUTTING MORE PRESSURE IN THERE. 
          SO FOR LARGE WOUNDS, IF PRESSURE DOESN'T WORK, YOU'RE GONNA PACK IT. 
          AND YES, YOU'RE LITERALLY GONNA PACK IT. 
          SO IMAGINE THIS PERSON'S HURT. 
          NOT ONLY THEY HURT, BUT NOW YOU JUST PUSHED ON THE WOUND THAT DIDN'T STOP IT. 
          SO NOW YOU'RE GONNA TAKE A PIECE OF CLOTH OR WHATEVER YOU'VE GOT AND YOU'RE GONNA PACK IT INSIDE THE WOUND. 
          SO AGAIN, THIS IS NOT GONNA BE A PLEASANT SITUATION. 
          SO WE'RE GONNA PACK IT AND WE'RE GONNA PACK IT AND WE'RE GONNA PACK IT UNTIL EITHER WE CAN'T PACK IT ANYMORE OR THE BLEEDING STOPS. 
          AND THEN WE'RE GONNA PUT PRESSURE ON IT AND WE'RE GONNA COVER IT WITH PRESSURE. 
          SO WE'VE USED PRESSURE, WE'VE USED PACKING WITH PRESSURE. 
          SO WHATEVER THEY'VE GOT, AND THEY DO MAKE WHAT THEY CALL A HEMOSTATIC BANDAGES NOW THAT HAVE A CHEMICAL ON IT THAT WILL HELP STOP THE BLEEDING. 
          I'VE HAD SURGEONS TELL ME THAT THEY DON'T LIKE IT 'CAUSE THAT'S ONE MORE THING THEY GOTTA CLEAN OUT OF THEM BEFORE THEY DO SURGERY ON THEM. 
          BUT I DON'T CARE WHAT THEY HAVE TO DO IN 10 MINUTES OR 10 HOURS. 
          I CARE WHAT'S WHAT I NEED TO DO RIGHT NOW TO STOP THE BLEEDING AND SAVE THEIR LIVES. 
          SO THEY'RE JUST CONSTANTLY PUTTING IT IN THERE UNTIL THEY EITHER CAN'T GET IN THERE ANYMORE OR IT STOPS BLEEDING. 
          AND THEN THEY'RE GONNA TAKE THE REST OF THAT CLOTH AND PUT IT ON IT AND HOLD PRESSURE ON IT. 
          OKAY? SO WE'VE PACKED IT. 
          WHAT DO WE PACK? WELL, YOU PACK YOUR ARMS AND LEGS, YOU PACK THE JUNCTION AREA AND YOU, THIS SAYS PACK THE BODY. 
          DO NOT PACK THE BODY. 
          SO WE TRIED PRESSURE, WE'VE TRIED PACKING, THAT DIDN'T WORK. 
          NOW WE'RE GONNA GO TO A TOURNIQUET. 
          I'M GONNA BORROW YOURS, TOURNIQUETS. 
          I'M 66 YEARS OLD AND I GREW UP, THE TOURNIQUETS ARE A BAD WORD BECAUSE IF YOU PUT A TOURNIQUET ON SOMEBODY, THAT MEANS THEY'RE GONNA LOSE THEIR LIMBS. 
          AND THAT IS NOT TRUE. 
          WE NOW KNOW THAT TOURNIQUETS ARE MORE FORGIVING THAN WHAT WE USED TO THINK 50, 60, 70 YEARS AGO. 
          THEY NOW MAKE COMMERCIALLY MANUFACTURED TOURNIQUETS. 
          ALL POLICE OFFICERS, I BELIEVE, CARRY 'EM ON 'EM AT ALL TIMES. 
          UH, WE HAVE 'EM ON OUR AMBULANCES. 
          I DO RECOMMEND YOU MAKE A FIRST AID KIT. 
          DON'T GO BUY 'EM ONE OFF AMAZON. 
          GO TO WALMART AND GET YOU A GALLON BAGGY OR A COURT SIZE BAGGIE. 
          PUT YOU SOME BANDAIDS IN THERE, SOME TWO BY TWO GAUZE, BUT GET YOU A TOURNIQUET. 
          BANDAIDS WILL TAKE CARE OF 90% OF WHAT YOU'RE GONNA ENCOUNTER, I PROMISE YOU. 
          BUT TOURNIQUETS, WHENEVER BLEEDING WON'T STOP, YOU CAN'T STOP THE BLEEDING. 
          WE'RE TALKING ABOUT PEOPLE THAT ARE DYING. 
          WE'RE GONNA USE THE TOURNIQUET. 
          NOW, COMMERCIALLY MANUFACTURED TOURNIQUETS WORK BETTER THAN YOUR HOMEMADE TOURNIQUETS. 
          YOU KNOW, IF YOU'RE IN THE GIRL SCOUTS OR BOY SCOUTS, YOU LEARN TO GRAB A BELT, GRAB SOMETHING WIDE AND FLAT AND MAKE A TOURNIQUET WITH THAT. 
          THESE ARE DESIGNED TO WORK BETTER THAN THAT. 
          AND IF YOU HAVE TO DO THAT, THAT'S FINE. 
          BUT THESE ARE DESIGNED TO WORK BETTER THAN THAT. 
          SO THE TOURNIQUET, YOU CAN PUT IT ON YOURSELF, YOU CAN PUT IT ON SOMEBODY ELSE. 
          YOU WANNA PUT IT ABOUT TWO INCHES OR SO ABOVE THE WOUND. 
          IF I CUT MY HAND OFF, DON'T PUT THE TOURNIQUET WAY UP HERE. 
          PUT IT AS CLOSE TO THE WOUND AS YOU CAN IN CASE, UH, BECAUSE WHAT WILL HAPPEN SOMETIMES IS IF THEY LEAVE IT ON A LONG PERIOD OF TIME, IT IT'LL START KILLING THE TISSUE. 
          BANDAGING SLOWS THE VENOUS BLOOD DOWN. 
          A TOURNIQUET SLOWS DOWN ALL BLOOD. 
          SO NO OPTION A BLOOD'S GETTING TO THAT. 
          ANYTHING PAST THE TOURNIQUET. 
          SO IT'S GONNA START DYING, WHICH WE USED TO THINK, LIKE I SAID, WAS A LOT QUICKER THAN WHAT WE REALLY KNOW IT IS NOW. 
          AND IT DEPENDS ON YOUR CONDITION TOO. 
          SO PUT IT AS CLOSE TO THE WIND AS YOU CAN. 
          SO I'M GONNA GO ABOUT TWO TO THREE INCHES ABOVE IT. 
          I'M GONNA SECURE IT. 
          THIS 
          [00:15:01]
IS A WINDLESS. 
          I'M GONNA TAKE THAT AND I'M GONNA START TURNING IT. 
          AND I'M GONNA TELL YOU WHEN I FEEL PRESSURE, I'VE TURNED IT A HALF A TURN RIGHT NOW. 
          THAT RIGHT THERE IS PAINFUL AND I JUST TURNED IT ONE FULL TURN. 
          SO AGAIN, THIS IS NOT GONNA BE A PLEASANT SITUATION. 
          THESE PEOPLE ARE, THEY'RE BLEEDING, THEY'RE HURTING, THEY'RE SCARED THERE, THINK THEY'RE GONNA DIE AND YOU'RE HURTING THEM. 
          SO IT'S NOT GONNA BE A PLEASANT SITUATION. 
          THEY'RE NOT GONNA COOPERATE WITH YOU. 
          THEY'RE GONNA BE FIGHTING YOU. 
          OKAY? I WANT YOU TO BE AWARE OF THAT. 
          SO I'VE TURNED THAT ONE FULL TURN AND IT HURTS. 
          OKAY? YOU'RE PROBABLY GONNA HAVE TO TURN IT MORE THAN ONE FULL TURN. 
          A LOT OF TIMES WHEN YOU PUT TOURNIQUETS ON PEOPLE, THE TOURNIQUET WILL HURT HIM, HURT THEM MORE THAN THE THE WOUND ITSELF. 
          SO YOU'RE GONNA KEEP GOING, WE'RE GONNA SECURE IT. 
          AND THEN THERE'S A LITTLE WHITE TAG. 
          YOU TAKE YOUR SHARPIE AND YOU WRITE THE TIME THAT YOU PUT THE TOURNIQUET ON THE TAG. 
          WHO'S GOT THE SHARPIE IN THEIR POCKET? NOBODY DOES. 
          SO LEMME TELL YOU WHAT I DO. 
          AND I LEARNED THIS IN THE MILITARY. 
          TAKE THEIR BLOOD, PUT A BIG T HERE ON THEIR FOREHEAD. 
          AND IF YOU CAN WRITE THE TIME, WRITE THE TIME. 
          THE REASON I SAY DO THAT IS BECAUSE IF IT'S A MASS SITUATION, BODIES ARE GONNA START PILING UP AND THEY'RE PROBABLY GONNA HAVE A BLANKET ON 'EM. 
          'CAUSE WE TRY TO MAINTAIN THEIR BODY TEMPERATURE. 
          IF THEY'VE GOT A TOURNIQUET ON THEIR ARM, THEIR ARM COULD BE HIDDEN UNDER THE BLANKET. 
          AND THAT INFORMATION NOT BE PASSED ON TO THE PERSON AT THE TRIAGE CENTER THAT'S TAKING CARE OF THEM. 
          AND THE NEXT THING YOU KNOW, THEY'RE LAYING THERE FOR TWO HOURS, THREE HOURS. 
          THEY GOT A TOURNIQUET ON THEIR ARM AND NOBODY KNEW IT. 
          WELL, IF YOU PUT A BIG RED TEE HERE IN BLOOD, PEOPLE ARE GONNA ASK YOU, WHAT'S THAT TEA FOR? OH YEAH, THEY GOT A TOURNIQUET ON THEIR ARM. 
          FORGOT TO TELL YOU WHAT TIME. 
          WELL, I GOT IT WRITTEN RIGHT HERE. 
          NOW THE TIME IS IMPORTANT. 
          ONCE YOU PUT A TOURNIQUET ON, NEVER REMOVE IT. 
          NEVER REMOVE IT. 
          THE DOCTORS, THEY MAY SHOW, CHOOSE TO REMOVE IT AT THE HOSPITAL LATER. 
          YOU DON'T REMOVE IT. 
          I'VE HAD PEOPLE TELL ME, WELL, I'LL JUST LEAVE IT ON FOR 15 MINUTES AND I'LL LOOSEN IT UP. 
          DON'T DO THAT BECAUSE THE TOURNIQUET IS GONNA CREATE CLOTS AND IF YOU OPEN IT UP, NOW YOU GOT CLOTS FLOWING THROUGH YOUR BODY. 
          SO YOU'RE GONNA TIGHTEN THIS TOURNIQUET TILL THE BLEEDING STOPS. 
          WHAT IF ONE TOURNIQUET DOESN'T STOP THE BLEEDING? THEN YOU MAY HAVE TO USE A SECOND ONE. 
          PUT IN AS CLOSE TO THE FIRST ONE AS YOU CAN RIGHT ABOVE IT. 
          HERE'S AN EXAMPLE AND I'M GONNA HAVE Y'ALL PUTTING IT ON YOURSELVES AND EACH OTHER HERE IN JUST A MINUTE. 
          AND JUST SO Y'ALL KNOW, TOURNIQUETS HAVE AN EXPIRATION DATE ON THEM, WHICH IS STUPID TO ME 'CAUSE THERE'S NOTHING HERE THAT EXPIRES. 
          BUT EVERYTHING'S GOT AN EXPIRATION DATE ON IT NOW , WELL, SO THEY'VE GOT IT ON, THEY'RE TURNING THE WINDLESS, THEY'RE GONNA TURN IT UNTIL THE BLEEDING STOPS OR AT LEAST SLOWS DOWN. 
          'CAUSE REMEMBER ONE TOURNIQUET MAY NOT BE ENOUGH. 
          YOU MIGHT HAVE TO APPLY A SECOND ONE RIGHT ABOVE IT. 
          THEY'RE GONNA LOCK THAT WINDLESS IN. 
          THEY'RE GONNA COVER IT WITH THAT IT WITH THAT LITTLE WHITE FABRIC. 
          AND THEN THEY'RE GONNA TAKE THE SHARPIE OUTTA THEIR POCKET THAT EVERYBODY CARRIES. 
          AND WRITE THE TIME ON THAT, ON THAT LITTLE TAB. 
          OKAY? THESE ARE JUST AN EXAMPLE OF SOME COMMERCIALLY MANUFACTURED TOURNIQUETS THAT ARE OUT THERE. 
          OKAY? WHAT IF IT'S A KID? WELL, USUALLY THE REALLY YOUNG KIDS, UNLESS THEY'RE REALLY, REALLY YOUNG, YOU CAN USE THE SAME TOURNIQUET ON 'EM. 
          THAT'S GONNA BE BIG. 
          YOU'RE GONNA HAVE A LOT OF EXTRA STUFF. 
          BUT YOU CAN USE IT ON 'EM USUALLY FOR THE VERY SMALL CHILD OR THE BABY. 
          DIRECT PRESSURE WILL COVER ENOUGH. 
          YOU CAN PUT A LOT OF PRESSURE. 
          YOU KNOW, YOU CAN WRAP YOUR WHOLE ARM AROUND THEIR LEG OR THEIR HAND, YOUR WHOLE FA HAND. 
          SO USUALLY THE DIRECT PRESSURE WILL WORK THEM. 
          BUT IF IT DOESN'T FOR LARGE DEEP WOUNDS, YOU MAY HAVE TO PACK IT. 
          SO IMAGINE A LITTLE 2-YEAR-OLD THERE AND YOU'RE PACKING THAT WOUND. 
          THEY'RE SCARED TO DEATH, THEY'RE HURTING. 
          NOW YOU'RE STICKING YOUR FINGERS AND CLOTH INSIDE THEIR WOUND. 
          SO AGAIN, THIS IS NOT A PLEASANT SITUATION, BUT IT'S A SITUATION THAT I BELIEVE WE ALL SHOULD BE PREPARED FOR BECAUSE HEAVEN HELP US. 
          IT COULD HAPPEN TODAY, IT COULD HAPPEN TOMORROW. 
          YOUR NEIGHBOR COULD RUN OVER THEIR, THEIR FOOT WITH A LAWNMOWER AND CUT THE TOES OFF. 
          RIGHT NOW MY NEIGHBORS, WHEN I LIVED IN SOUTH GARLAND, MY NEIGHBOR DID WITH A RIDING LAWNMOWER. 
          EXPLAIN THAT TO ME WITH A RIDING LAWNMOWER. 
          SHE CUT HER TOES OFF WITH A RIDING LAWNMOWER AND JUST LAID IN THE YARD SCREAMING. 
          OKAY, WHAT ABOUT IMPELLED OBJECTS? JESSE JUMPS UP AND STABS ME. 
          AND THE KNIFE'S STILL IN ME. 
          DON'T REMOVE IT. 
          LEAVE IT THERE. 
          SOMETIMES REMOVING THAT IS GONNA CAUSE MORE DAMAGE THAN THAN THE INITIAL STAB. 
          TRY TO SECURE IT AS BEST YOU CAN WITH MANAGING MATERIALS. 
          ANYTHING THAT YOU'VE GOT IMPROVISED TOURNIQUETS. 
          IF THAT'S ALL YOU GOT, THAT'S ALL YOU GOT. 
          JUST KNOW THAT THEY DO NOT WORK AS WELL AS COMMERCIALLY MADE TOURNIQUETS. 
          AND YOU WANT TO USE SOMETHING FLAT. 
          A FLAT MATERIAL. 
          YOU DON'T WANT TO USE SOMETHING ROUND 'CAUSE IT'LL CUT INTO THE SKIN AS YOU TIGHTEN IT. 
          SO YOU WANNA USE SOMETHING FLAT. 
          COULD THEY POSSIBLY LOSE THEIR ARM OR LEG? YES THEY COULD, BUT WE NOW KNOW THAT TOURNIQUETS ARE MORE FORGIVING THAN WHAT WE EVER THOUGHT THEY WERE ABOUT 50, 60, 70 YEARS AGO. 
          THE CHANCES OF THEM LOSING THE LEG BY YOU PUTTING A TOURNIQUET ON 'EM ARE NOT AS HIGH AS WHAT WE ONCE THOUGHT. 
          PAIN. 
          OH YOU BETCHA. 
          THEY'RE GONNA BE IN A LOT OF PAIN. 
          THEY'RE GONNA BE IN PAIN FROM THE INITIAL WOUND AND THEY'RE GONNA BE IN PAIN FROM YOU PUSHING ON IT, PACKING IT, PUTTING A TOURNIQUET ON THEM. 
          THEY'RE 
          [00:20:01]
GONNA BE CUSSING YOU. 
          THEY'RE NOT GONNA BE COOPERATING WITH YOU. 
          SO YOU NEED TO BE PREPARED FOR THAT. 
          NOW DO Y'ALL HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR ME? YES MA'AM. 
          PAPER PRODUCTS. 
          CAN YOU USE THAT TO PACK THE ONE? I WOULD NOT PUT PAPER IN THERE, BUT USE WHATEVER YOU'VE GOT. 
          I WOULD PREFER YOU TAKE YOUR SHIRT OFF, TO BE HONEST WITH YOU MA'AM. 
          AND USE THAT. 
          AND I'M TELLING YOU, GO TO WALMART AND PAY $2 AND GET YOU A BANDANA. 
          BANDANAS CAN, BANDANAS CAN COVER A LOT OF DIFFERENT THINGS. 
          YOU CAN USE 'EM AS A SLING. 
          YOU CAN USE 'EM AS PACKING MATERIAL. 
          YOU CAN USE 'EM AS BANDAGES. 
          I LOVE BANDANAS. 
          BUT YES MA'AM, I'VE HEARD MENSTRUAL PADS. 
          I KEEP THOSE IN MY CAR 'CAUSE I'D HEARD THAT. 
          I'M TRYING TO SAVE MY HUSBAND IF WE HAVE SOME PROBLEM. 
          SO I HAVE PADS IN MY CAR. 
          I'VE HEARD YOU COULD USE THAT AS PACKING. 
          ANYTHING. 
          THAT'LL WORK. 
          YES MA'AM. 
          ANYTHING THAT'LL WORK, DO NOT DO. 
          USE THAT ON A NOSEBLEED. 
          DON'T, DON'T PACK THE NOSE. 
          REMEMBER WE DON'T PACK THE FACE. 
          LET THE DOCTORS DO THAT. 
          WE DON'T PACK THE FACE, THE HEAD OR THE BODY. 
          BUT ANYTHING YOU'VE GOT THAT'S ABSORBENT, YES IT'LL WORK. 
          AND A LOT OF PEOPLE DO CARRY THOSE TYPE OF THINGS IN THEIR, IN THEIR FIRST AID KIT AND YES MA'AM, WHAT DO YOU DO? IN THE CASE OF THE NOSE, UH, YOU'RE GONNA USE PRESSURE AND PARDON THE PUN, BUT YOU'VE GOTTA SQUEEZE THE SNOT OUTTA YOUR NOSE. 
          IF YOU'RE NOT HURTING YOURSELF, YOU'RE NOT PRESSING HARD ENOUGH, DO IT FOR ABOUT FIVE MINUTES. 
          HOLD YOUR HEAD DOWN, NOT BACK LIKE MAMA TAUGHT YOU. 
          'CAUSE IF YOU HOLD YOUR HEAD BACK, THE BLOOD'S GONNA GO DOWN THE THROAT INTO THE STOMACH AND YOU'LL THROW UP. 
          SO HOLD YOUR HEAD FORWARD AND PINCH THE NOSE. 
          PEOPLE ALWAYS ASK ME, WHAT DO YOU PINCH THE END OF THE NOSE OR HERE? WELL I CAN'T PINCH ANYTHING HERE. 
          THAT'S ALL CARTILAGE AND BONE. 
          SO I PINCH RIGHT HERE. 
          YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO PINCH IT FOR ABOUT FIVE MINUTES. 
          THAT SHOULD STOP THE BLEEDING. 
          OR AT LEAST SLOW IT DOWN. 
          IF IT'S GUSHING, YOU GOTTA CALL 9 1 1. 
          THEY GOTTA GET TO THE HOSPITAL, BUT DON'T PACK ANYTHING UP THE NOSE. 
          ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? YES. 
          OH YES MA'AM. 
          COULD YOU, IF YOU HAVE SOMEONE WHO BELIEVES IT'S SMART TO PUT A TOURNIQUET AROUND THE BODY OR ARE TOURNIQUETS IN LIMB, YES, YOU'RE NOT GONNA PUT A TOURNIQUET ON THE BODY. 
          NOW THEY DO MAKE, THEY DO MANUFACTURE TOURNIQUETS FOR HIP FRACTURES AND PELVIC BLEEDING AND STUFF LIKE THAT. 
          BUT WE DON'T HAVE ANY OF THOSE AND YOU'RE NOT GONNA HAVE A BIG ENOUGH TOURNIQUET FOR THAT. 
          SO NO, YOU'RE ONLY GOING TO, YOU JUST, LET'S JUST DO THE LIMBS. 
          SO, AND AND YOU'RE NOT GONNA PUT A TOURNIQUET ON ANYBODY'S NECK. 
          THAT'S ALWAYS THE BIG JOKE. 
          YEAH, I'LL PUT A TOURNIQUET ON YOUR NECK. 
          NO YOU'RE NOT. 
          JUST THE LIMBS IS WHERE YOU'RE GONNA PUT A TOURNIQUET. 
          ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? BUT I'M TELLING YOU, I'M ONE OF THESE PEOPLE THAT WHEN I GO SOMEWHERE, I PREPARE IN CASE THERE'S AN EMERGENCY. 
          LIKE I WALK IN HERE AND GO, OKAY, HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE IN HERE? WELL, OKAY, IF THIS HAPPENS, I'VE GOT, I'VE GOT A, A PAIR OF SOCKS, I'VE GOT A SHIRT, I'VE GOT BANDANAS, WHATEVER I NEED TO STOP THE BLEEDING. 
          SO LIKE I SAID, WE DON'T CARE ABOUT INFECTIONS AND BEING CLEAN AND ALL THAT. 
          RIGHT NOW WE'RE CARING ABOUT SAVING SOMEBODY'S LIFE. 
          SO HOPEFULLY THEY WON'T GET INFECTIONS FROM 'EM AND HAVE TO HAVE SURGERIES ON DOWN THE ROAD. 
          BUT IF THEY DO, THEY DO RIGHT NOW WE NEED TO SAVE THEIR LIFE BY STOPPING THEIR BLEEDING. 
          ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? ALRIGHT, LET'S START PRACTICING. 
          SO I'VE GOT WOUNDS HERE. 
          NOW BE PREPARED. 
          IF YOU PUT YOUR FINGERS IN A WOUND, IF THAT'S A BROKEN BONE OR IF IT'S FROM A GUNSHOT, YOU MAY HAVE SOME METAL IN THERE. 
          FRAGMENTS OF THE BULLET. 
          YOU MAY HAVE SOME BONE FRAGMENTS, YOU COULD GET YOURSELF HURT AND YOU COULD GET YOURSELF CUT. 
          SO BE AWARE OF THAT AND IF ANY OF YOU, ALL THESE PEOPLE WANNA PARTICIPATE, I'VE GOT SOME WOUNDS OVER HERE. 
          JSA, I THOUGHT YOU WERE GONNA SIT HERE. 
          SO I GAVE YOU YOUR VERY OWN WOUND. 
          I'M GONNA SIT THERE JUST BECAUSE YOU, THERE YOU GO. 
          . 
          ALRIGHT, SO FIRST YOU GOT YOUR WOUND. 
          LET'S FIRST START OFF WITH PRESSURE. 
          'CAUSE THAT'S THE FIRST THING WE'RE GONNA DO. 
          SO THERE'S PRESSURE AND YOU'RE NOT GONNA BE ABLE TO PUT ENOUGH PRESSURE ON IT SITTING THERE. 
          YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO GET UP AND PUT YOUR BODY WEIGHT ON IT. 
          AND I'M SORRY IF I'M TALKING TOO LONG 'CAUSE IT'S KIND OF A FINE ABOUT 20, 25 MINUTE CLASS. 
          THAT'S FIRST THING. 
          ANYTHING YOU'VE GOT T-SHIRT, BANDANA, SOCK. 
          I DON'T CARE. 
          HANDKERCHIEF. 
          YOU KNOW, IN THE OLDEN DAYS, MEN CARRIED HANDKERCHIEFS. 
          NOW NOBODY CARES. 
          A HANDKERCHIEF. 
          YOU, YOU, YOU HAVE TO COVER IT. 
          YOU'RE GONNA COVER IT. 
          JUST COVER THE WOUND AND PUT PRESSURE ON IT. 
          OKAY? NOW WE'RE GONNA SAY THAT DIDN'T WORK. 
          SO NOW YOU'RE GONNA PACK IT. 
          SO TAKE WHATEVER YOU'VE GOT THERE. 
          THAT LITTLE PIECE OF FABRIC'S SUPPOSED TO MIMIC A SHIRT. 
          TAKE THAT AND YOU'RE JUST GONNA START PACKING THAT WOUND. 
          SO IMAGINE HIM SCREAMING AT YOU. 
          HAVE YOU EVER CUT YOURSELF? AND THEN LATER SOMETHING WENT INSIDE THAT WOUND TOUCHED IT, IT HURTS. 
          OKAY? SO YOU'RE GONNA PACK THAT WOUND EITHER UNTIL YOU FILL IT UP, YOU CAN'T PACK ANYMORE, OR THE BLEEDING STOPS. 
          THEN YOU'RE GONNA COVER IT WITH SOMETHING AND YOU'RE GONNA PUT PRESSURE ON IT. 
          OKAY? NOW WE'RE GONNA SAY THAT DIDN'T WORK. 
          SO NOW WE'RE GONNA GO TO A TOURNIQUET. 
          SO EVERYBODY'S GOT A TOURNIQUET THERE. 
          YEAH. 
          SO GRAB THAT TOURNIQUET, PUT IT ON YOUR PARTNER. 
          YOUR PARTNER. 
          REMEMBER YOU WANNA PUT IT ABOUT TWO TO THREE INCHES ABOVE THE WOUNDS. 
          AND THESE TOURNIQUETS SAVE LIVES. 
          ALL OF THIS WILL SAVE LIVES. 
          BUT I'M TELLING YOU, TOURNIQUETS SAVE LIVES. 
          SO YOU WANT TO CINCH IT DOWN AS BEST YOU CAN. 
          AND THEN YOU WANNA START TIGHTENING THAT WINDLESS, THAT ROD. 
          NOW DON'T HURT 'EM WHEN THEY TELL YOU TO HURT, STOP. 
          [00:25:11]
OKAY? SO YOU CAN FEEL IT AFTER THEY JUST MAKE A HALF A TURN, RIGHT? SO YOU'RE PROBABLY GONNA HAVE TO MAKE TWO OR THREE OR FOUR FULL TURNS ON THIS WIN LIST ON THIS ROD. 
          THERE WAS ONLY ONE THOUGH. 
          WHAT'S THAT? THAT'S, I APPRECIATE THAT BROTHER. 
          THANK YOU. 
          VERY NICE. 
          THANK YOU. 
          YOU KNOW THE SAD SITUATION WITH OUR SOCIETY TODAY IS NOBODY CARRIES A POCKET KNIFE. 
          ME AND USED TO ALWAYS HAVE A POCKET KNIFE ON THEM. 
          NOBODY CARRIES A POCKET KNIFE. 
          MEN USED TO ALWAYS HAVE HANDKERCHIEFS ON 'EM AND WOMEN TOO. 
          NOBODY CARRIES A HANDKERCHIEF. 
          JUST PREPARE YOURSELF. 
          'CAUSE A POCKET KNIFE CAN HELP. 
          CUT YOUR SHIRT UP, CUT YOUR BLUE JEANS UP. 
          SHE HAS HER THANK YOU. 
          PLEASE BE SURE YOU PUT YOUR NAME ON THE ROSTER WITH YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS. 
          OKAY? YOU WANNA PACK IT TILL YOU CAN'T PACK ANYMORE OR IT STOPS BLEEDING? YOU COULD, YEAH, YOU COULD. 
          AND IF YOU PUT A TOURNIQUET ON SOMEBODY AND YOU'RE CALLING 9 1 1, TELL 'EM YOU PUT A TOURNIQUET ON THAT PERSON. 
          'CAUSE THAT'S, THEY'RE GONNA TELL THE EMS PEOPLE, THAT'S GONNA GET OUR MINDS RACING. 
          WHAT DO WE NEED TO DO? BOOM, BOOM, BOOM. 
          SO WE TRY TO STAY AHEAD. 
          SOMETIMES THAT MAY GET YOU A HELICOPTER RIDE HELICOPTER DEPENDING ON THE SITUATION. 
          YES MA'AM. 
          OKAY, ANY QUESTIONS? EVERYBODY GOOD? OKAY, SO I KNOW THIS WAS KIND OF A MORBID TYPE CLASS, BUT UNFORTUNATELY IN OUR SOCIETY IT'S A NECESSARY TYPE CLASS. 
          SO PLEASE FEEL FREE TO USE THESE, USE THESE SKILLS YOU JUST LEARNED. 
          NOW ONE THING THAT YOU'LL SEE, THAT YOU'LL HEAR IS PEOPLE SAY YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO ASK PERMISSION. 
          CAN I TOUCH YOU? YOU LOOK LIKE YOU'RE HURT. 
          CAN I TOUCH YOU? I'M TELLING YOU, IF I GOT SOMEBODY BLEEDING TO DEATH, I'M JUST, I'M ACTING, I'M JUST GONNA ACT. 
          THEY WANNA SUE ME, THEY CAN SUE ME.

          THERE'S TWO STATES THAT DON'T HAVE THE GOOD SAMARITAN LAW. 
          I DON'T KNOW WHICH STATES THOSE ARE, BUT YOU DO EVERYTHING WITHIN YOUR TRAINING. 
          WITHIN GOOD FAITH.

          FOR THOSE OF Y'ALL THAT ARE SITTING IN THE AUDIENCE, YOUR CERTIFICATE'S OVER HERE, JUST HEAR YOU PUT YOUR NAME ON IT. 
          CERTIFICATE. 
          HAS THAT BEEN A SUBJECT CONVERSATION? YEAH, THAT'S WHAT I, I WAS THINKING, I WAS LIKE, IT'S KIND OF A HOT TOPIC RIGHT NOW, SO YEAH. 
          LET ME JUST FIGURE OUT . 
          EXACTLY. 
          UM, IS THAT, IT'S A TOOL. 
          TOOK ME A SECOND. 
          I GOT IT. 
          ALRIGHT. 
          ALRIGHT FOLKS. 
          GOOD MORNING EVERYBODY. 
          UM, SO MY NAME IS SHAI MARLER. 
          I'M A NEIGHBORHOOD POLICE OFFICER HERE IN GARLAND. 
          UM, BEFORE I BEGIN, DOES ANYONE NOT KNOW WHAT A FLOCK CAMERA IS? OKAY, SO, UM, ABOUT 30,000 AGENCIES IN THE US NOW HAVE SOMETHING CALLED A FLOCK CAMERA. 
          AND IT'S RUN BY A COMPANY CALLED FLOCK SAFETY. 
          AND ESSENTIALLY WE HAVE THESE CAMERAS THAT ARE POSTED UP AT DIFFERENT INTERSECTIONS AND LOCATIONS THROUGHOUT CITIES AND THEY'RE AUTOMATIC LICENSE PLATE READERS. 
          SO AS YOU'RE PASSING BY THEM, THEY'LL PICK UP YOUR LICENSE PLATE AND THEN IT STORES THAT DATA THAT CAN BE SEARCHED BY LAW ENFORCEMENT. 
          AND AS YOU CAN TELL, SOME PEOPLE MAY LIKE THAT BECAUSE IT HELPS THE POLICE. 
          BUT OTHER PEOPLE SAY THAT IT'S KIND OF LIKE BIG GOVERNMENT AND IT'S KIND OF A HOT TOPIC IN THE NEWS RIGHT NOW. 
          YOU MIGHT SEE SOME, UM, NEWS ARTICLES ABOUT IT. 
          IT'S BEEN ON THE NEWS A LOT. 
          PEOPLE ARE CUTTING DOWN FLOCK CAMERAS BECAUSE THEY DON'T BELIEVE IN IT. 
          SO I'M GONNA GO OVER THE BENEFITS OF IT AND WHY WE REALLY NEED FLOCK CAMERAS IN GARLAND. 
          SO THIS IS AN EXAMPLE OF, THIS IS A POLICE CAR, BUT THIS IS WHAT A, UM, LICENSE PLATE READER IS GONNA PICK UP. 
          IT'S GONNA PICK UP A PICTURE OF THE CAR, IT'S GONNA GET THE LICENSE PLATE AND THE LOCATION AND THE DIRECTION OF TRAVEL. 
          AND HERE ARE ALL THE WAYS THAT WE USE FLOCK. 
          SO WE USE IT IN CRIMINAL INVESTIGATIONS. 
          IF SOMEBODY HAS A FELONY WARRANT, IT'S GOING TO NOTIFY US. 
          SO THEN WE CAN KNOW WHERE THIS PERSON'S TRAVELING. 
          WE CAN TRY AND GET THEM INTO CUSTODY FASTER, ESPECIALLY WHEN IT'S LIKE A VIOLENT CRIME. 
          OKAY. 
          UM, ALSO STOLEN VEHICLES OR STOLEN LICENSE PLATES. 
          BUT, UM, A BIG ONE IS LIKE MISSING PERSONS CASES. 
          SO WE DO HAVE INSTANCES WHERE WE HAVE LIKE AN ELDERLY PERSON WITH DEMENTIA, THEY GET INTO THEIR CAR, THEY START DRIVING AND THEY'LL BE GONE FOR HOURS. 
          BUT WE CAN PUT THAT LICENSE PLATE INTO OUR DATABASE AND IT WILL ALERT, UM, LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES ALL OVER THE UNITED STATES IF THAT LICENSE PLATE IS PICKED UP. 
          UM, AND THEN ALSO WE, UM, IT'S NOT JUST LAW ENFORCEMENT WHO CAN GET A FLOCK CAMERA, IT CAN ALSO BE LIKE HOAS NEIGHBORHOODS, BUSINESSES, I KNOW LIKE LOWE'S, HOME DEPOT, STARBUCKS, LIKE ANY KIND OF BUSINESS CAN SPONSOR THEIR OWN FLOCK CAMERA JUST TO PROTECT THEIR BUSINESS AND HELP WITH LIKE A RETAIL THEFT INVESTIGATIONS. 
          [00:35:02]
SO THIS IS WHAT, UM, INFORMATION IS GONNA BE PICKED UP. 
          THE LOCATION, THE MAKE MODEL AND COLOR OF YOUR CAR, IF THERE'S ANY STICKERS ON IT, ROOF RACKS, KIND OF LIKE DIFFERENT THINGS THAT MAKE YOUR LIKE CAR UNIQUE. 
          WE CAN SEARCH THAT. 
          SO I WANNA GO OVER A CASE THAT WE HAD RECENTLY, JUST TO GIVE YOU AN EXAMPLE OF HOW WE USE FLOCK. 
          SO THIS TRUCK RIGHT HERE, IT WAS ACTIVE IN THE DFW AREA FOR UM, YEARS. 
          IT WAS STEALING HIGH VALUED POWER EQUIPMENT FROM CONSTRUCTION SITES. 
          SO JUST IN GARLAND OVER THE PAST TWO YEARS, THIS TRUCK STOLE $300,000 WORTH OF POWER EQUIPMENT THROUGHOUT OUR CITY. 
          UM, YOU KNOW, ANYWHERE FROM $50,000 TO $150,000 AT A TIME. 
          OKAY? SO THEY WERE MAKING A LOT OF MONEY AND IF YOU NOTICE ON HERE, THERE'S NO LICENSE PLATE. 
          OKAY? SO IT MADE IT IMPOSSIBLE FOR US TO TRACK AND FLOCK. 
          WE COULDN'T SAY, HEY, LIKE SHOW ME ALL WHITE FORD F FOUR 50 TRUCKS IN GARLAND ON THIS DATE. 
          SO WHAT FLOCK ALLOWS US TO DO, UM, HAVE YOU EVER USED AN IMAGE SEARCH LIKE IN GOOGLE? YEAH. 
          SO LIKE IF YOU SEE SOMETHING IN A STORE, YOU CAN LIKE TAKE A PICTURE OF IT AND LIKE COMPARE PRICES. 
          LIKE I DO THAT WHEN I'M IN LIKE WALMART AND I WILL TAKE A PICTURE OF AN ITEM AND I SEE IF IT'S CHEAPER, UM, ON AMAZON. 
          BUT WE'RE ESSENTIALLY DOING THAT WITH A PICTURE OF THE TRUCK. 
          SO WE UPLOAD A PICTURE OF THE TRUCK INTO FLOCK AND IT WILL PULL UP ALL PICTURES OF TRUCKS THAT LOOK SIMILAR TO THIS PICTURE. 
          SO IN MY CASE IT PICKED UP HUNDREDS OF TRUCKS. 
          OKAY. 
          BUT I HAD TO GO THROUGH THOSE AND SAY, HEY, THAT'S MY TRUCK, THAT'S MY TRUCK, THAT'S MY TRUCK. 
          AND THEN I WAS ABLE TO ESTABLISH WHAT PATTERN IT WAS TAKING WHEN IT WAS DRIVING THROUGH DIFFERENT CITIES. 
          SO EVENTUALLY I REALIZED THAT THIS TRUCK HIT A CERTAIN INTERSECTION IN DALLAS THREE TIMES IN A ONE WEEK PERIOD. 
          AND I DECIDED, YOU KNOW, THIS CASE HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR A LONG TIME, I'M JUST GONNA SIT AT THAT INTERSECTION UNTIL I SEE THE CAR. 
          SO I SAT THERE FOR TWO DAYS AND EVENTUALLY THE CAR PASSED ME AND I WAS ABLE TO PULL THEM OVER. 
          AND SINCE THEN WE'VE GOTTEN SUSPECTS IDENTIFIED AND THEY HAD WARRANTS PUT OUT FOR THEM AND THEY'VE BEEN ARRESTED FOR, UM, ENGAGING IN ORGANIZED RETAIL CRIME. 
          YEAH. 
          SO YEAH, SO THAT'S JUST AN EXAMPLE OF, YOU KNOW, IT'S NOT EVEN CAPTURING A LICENSE PLATE, BUT THAT LED TO US SOLVING A MAJOR INVESTIGATION. 
          AND I'M COVERING UP THE LICENSE PLATE 'CAUSE THIS IS, UM, A REAL CASE. 
          IT ACTUALLY HAPPENED, UM, JUST THIS WEEK. 
          I BELIEVE IT WAS ON MONDAY. 
          SO, UM, WE HAD A SITUATION WHERE AN ELDERLY GENTLEMAN, HE WAS IN HIS SEVENTIES GARLAND RESIDENT AND HE WAS TRYING TO SELL HIS CAR AND HE WAS MEETING UP WITH SOMEBODY GETTING READY TO SELL IT. 
          WELL THAT PERSON DECIDED TO PUSH HIM OUT OF THE CAR AND TOOK OFF WITH IT AND HE SUSTAINED, UM, SEVERE INJURIES. 
          I BELIEVE HE BROKE HIS SHOULDER. 
          I MEAN, HE'S NOT LIFE THREATENING, BUT FOR SOMEBODY IN THEIR SEVENTIES BREAKING THEIR SHOULDER, IT CAN BE LIFE ALTERING, RIGHT? WELL UNFORTUNATELY WE WERE DEALING WITH A LANGUAGE BARRIER. 
          UM, THE PERSON WAS NOT AS CONSCIOUS BECAUSE THEY HAD JUST BEEN INJURED AND HIT THEIR HEAD. 
          SO WE ACTUALLY DID NOT KNOW THE NAME OF THE VICTIM AND HE'S GOING TO THE HOSPITAL. 
          SO THEN THEREFORE WE CAN'T GET HIM TO TELL US HIS LICENSE PLATE. 
          SO, UM, WE HAD A WITNESS NEARBY WHO SAID THAT HE WAS TRYING TO SELL A TOYOTA SEQUOIA. 
          WELL IT, AND IT WAS SILVER IN COLOR. 
          SO THEN I'M ABLE TO GET ON FLOCK AND LOOK UP WHAT SILVER TOYOTA SUVS HAVE COME THROUGH GARLAND IN LIKE THE FIVE MINUTES AFTER THE NINE ONE ONE CALL CAME OUT AND THEN THIS PICTURE POPS UP AND AS YOU CAN SEE IT'S A TOYOTA SEQUOIA AND IT SAYS IT'S FOR SALE. 
          AND THEN BY LOOKING UP THE LICENSE PLATE, VIEWING THE REGISTERED OWNER AND HIS DRIVER'S LICENSE PHOTO, THEN WE CAN SAY, HEY, THAT'S OUR VICTIM. 
          THEN WE'RE ABLE TO PUT THE LICENSE PLATE INTO THE NATIONAL DATABASE. 
          AND DALLAS PD WAS ABLE TO ARREST THE SUSPECT WITHIN A MATTER OF HOURS, RECOVERED THE VEHICLE AND EVERYTHING. 
          SO I BELIEVE HE'S MAKING A GOOD RECOVERY. 
          BUT UM, THAT JUST GOES TO SHOW LIKE IT'S MORE THAN JUST LIKE READING LICENSE PLATES. 
          UM, I KNOW SOME PEOPLE DON'T 
          [00:40:01]
LIKE IT BECAUSE THEY DON'T WANT BIG GOVERNMENT. 
          THEY FEEL LIKE WE'RE TRACKING PEOPLE, BUT IT'S REALLY ESSENTIAL. 
          I WOULD SAY WE USE FLOCK ALMOST ON A DAILY BASIS TO SOLVE INVESTIGATIONS. 
          SO I WOULD JUST ENCOURAGE YOU TO SUPPORT FLOCK CAMERAS. 
          THEY'RE VERY IMPORTANT TO PUBLIC SAFETY. 
          ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS? THERE WAS AN INSTANCE YESTERDAY, MEN AN OFFICER USING FLOCK ABLE TO LIKE A CHILD MM-HMM . 
          AND WE'RE NOT REALLY NOT THE CHILD. 
          YEAH. 
          I MEAN I CANNOT IMAGINE 'CAUSE I CAME INTO LAW ENFORCEMENT RIGHT BEFORE FLOCK CAME OUT AND WE HAD TO, UM, ESSENTIALLY LIKE WHEN WE'RE AT STOPLIGHTS, LIKE WE'RE HAVING TO READ ALL THE LICENSE PLATE AND INPUT THEM AND SEARCH THEM AND IT WOULD PULL UP, IS IT A STOLEN CAR? BUT YOU'RE HAVING TO GO THROUGH SO MANY TABS AND SEARCHING THAT MANUALLY. 
          BUT NOW WE CAN JUST PULL UP TO A RED LIGHT AND OUR COMPUTER WILL TELL US, HEY, THERE'S A STOLEN CAR NEXT TO YOU. 
          SO IT MAKES IT LESS WORK. 
          BUT IN THIS INSTANCE IT HELPS YOU SOLVE AN INVESTIGATION FASTER. 
          AND I BELIEVE FLOCK WILL DEFINITELY SAVE LIVES AND SOLVE MORE INVESTIGATIONS. 
          ANY OTHER COMMENTS, QUESTIONS? UHHUH? . 
          AND I'M NOT TRYING TO BELITTLE FLAW BECAUSE I THINK FOX, THE THING OUT THERE NOW IS THE NEW FOX THAT'S COMING OUT THERE IS GONNA BE ABLE TO I HAVE NOT HEARD ANYTHING ABOUT THAT. 
          I MEAN, OF COURSE FACEBOOK GETS EVERYTHING RIGHT? YEAH, YEAH. 
          . 
          YEAH, BECAUSE, BUT THAT'S WHAT THEY'RE SPREADING OUT THERE NOW. 
          YEAH. 
          AND I THINK THERE'S LIKE A MISCONCEPTION THAT WE'RE LIKE TRACKING PEOPLE WITH IT. 
          AND THERE ARE WAYS THAT WE TRACK PEOPLE IN THEIR MOVEMENTS. 
          LIKE IF THEY HAVE A WARRANT, BUT YOU HAVE TO GO IN THERE AND ACTUALLY SEARCH FOR A LICENSE PLATE. 
          I WOULD BET THAT 99.999% OF FLAW KITS ARE NOT LOOKED AT BY LAW ENFORCEMENT. 
          IT'S REALLY ONLY GONNA BE CERTAIN LICENSE PLATES THAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR. 
          AND THEN THERE'S UM, A LOT OF, UM, I WANNA SAY WE HAVE TO INPUT A REASON FOR LIKE, WHY WE'RE SEARCHING IT. 
          AND THEN WE HAVE PEOPLE WHO GO BACK AND CRITIQUE OUR SEARCHES AND DETERMINE LIKE, HEY, WAS THIS JUSTIFIED? SO THERE'S A LOT OF DIFFERENT LAWS AND POLICIES AND WE HAVE A DEPARTMENT POLICY THAT WE HAVE TO FOLLOW TO PREVENT ANY KIND OF MISUSE FROM POLICE OFFICERS. 
          YEAH. 
          BUT WHEN YOU PUBLISH THINGS LIKE FINDING A MISSING CHILD, DO YOU SAY, DO YOU SAY IN THE ARTICLE THAT IT A FLOCK CAMERA WAS, IF YOU DID, THAT MIGHT SHOW THE BENEFITS, UM, FOR THE YEAH, TO COMBAT THE MISINFORMATION. 
          I THINK IT'S PROBABLY JUST GONNA DEPEND ON LIKE WHAT AGENCY WHO DOES IT. 
          I MEAN, THERE'S SOME BENEFITS OF SAYING THAT BECAUSE WE WANT PEOPLE TO SUPPORT FLOCK. 
          WE DON'T WANT PEOPLE TO WANT THE FLOCK CAMERAS TO GO AWAY. 
          BUT AT THE SAME TIME, UM, IF WE SAY, HEY, THERE'S A FLOCK CAMERA AT THIS INTERSECTION, THEN THE BAD GUYS KNOW ABOUT IT BECAUSE THEY'VE EVEN CREATED APPS WHERE, UM, BASICALLY IF YOU'RE A CRIMINAL, YOU CAN BA IT'S BASICALLY LIKE GOOGLE MAPS, BUT TO AVOID FLOCK CAMERAS. 
          SO WE TRY NOT TO PUBLISH WHERE THEY ARE NECESSARILY. 
          ANYTHING ELSE? OKAY. 
          THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME. 
          I APPRECIATE IT. 
          THANK YOU. 
          THANK YOU.

          SO WE'RE VERY EXCITED AND, UM, CAN'T WAIT TO GET IN. 
          THEN THE NEXT THING IS JUST PICTURES FROM OUR 4TH OF JULY CELEBRATION.

          THIS GENTLEMAN HERE IS RON. 
          HE'S ONE OF OUR BUS DRIVERS. 
          SO HE WAS BRAVE ENOUGH TO DO THAT AND A ROSIE. 
          AND THEN WE HAD ONE OF OUR YOUNG VOLUNTEERS WHO'S A HIGH SCHOOL, I DON'T EVEN, YEAH, HIGH SCHOOL. 
          HE PARTICIPATED IN TWO OF OUR SPONSORS, SO THEY LOVED IT. 
          UM, THEN WE HAD A DJ IN, THEY WERE DANCING, HAVING A GOOD TIME. 
          UM, THIS BOTTOM PICTURE HERE, THAT WAS THEM CHEERING ON PEOPLE TO THE PIE EATING CONTEST. 
          SO, AND THEN A GROUP OF LADIES, UM, WE HAD A BIG TWO 50 BANTER. 
          OOPS, SORRY. 
          AND THEY, UM, TOOK THEIR PICTURE IN FRONT OF IT. 
          SO WE DID A POP-UP TRIP.

          WE JUST COME IN AND GO SOMEWHERE FUN. 
          OH. 
          UM, IT'S USUALLY A FREEBIE. 
          UM, THE 250 EXHIBIT WAS HERE AT CITY HALL AND WE TOOK THEM TO SEE THAT. 
          AND THESE ARE JUST SOME OF THE PICTURES FROM THAT. 
          AND THEN, UM, WE WENT TO BILOXI AND THESE ARE JUST PICTURES. 
          UM, THIS TREE THAT YOU'RE SEEING HERE HAD ANGELS CARVED INTO IT. 
          WOW. 
          SO, UM, THIS WAS A BIG, UM, FEATURE FOR THEM DURING THE TRIP. 
          AND THEN JUST SOME MORE, UM, I THINK THAT WAS IN NEW ORLEANS. 
          YEAH. 
          AND THEN JUST A GROUP. 
          AND THAT'S IT. 
          SO WE HAVE, UM, WE ARE PLANNING A LOT FOR THE NEW CENTER, UM, STARTING WITH SOME PROGRAMMING, EVENING PROGRAMMING TOO. 
          UM, SO WE'RE, WE'RE GETTING PREPARED AND READY TO GO. 
          YES.

          ANYBODY HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? MM-HMM. 
          ON THE HEALTH FAIR? ARE YOU GONNA BE ABLE TO HAVE SHOTS? WE ARE GONNA TRY. 
          ANGELISA HAS A CONTACT WITH, UM, HEALTH DEPARTMENT PARKLAND, UH, DALLAS COUNTY HEALTH DEPARTMENT.

          YES. 
          THEY DID IT LAST YEAR. 
          SO YEAH, WE ARE, WE ARE BEGINNING TO SEND OUT INVITATIONS. 
          SO IF YOU GUYS HAVE ANY VENDORS THAT HAVE EXPRESSED AN INTEREST, JUST LET US KNOW.

          ALL THEY DO IS FILL IT OUT AND IT COMES RIGHT BACK TO US.

          UM, CAROL, I DON'T KNOW.

          YEAH. 
          SO THAT'S ALL THE CURRENT DATA. 
          OKAY. 
          ANYBODY ELSE? THANK YOU. 
          HAVE A GREAT MONTH. 
          OH, I'M GOOD. 
          WE'LL SEE JUDGE FIRST CAN YOU GIVE US THAT I WAS NOT FOR THANK YOU. 
          THAT IT WAS GREAT. 
          YEAH, IT WAS GREAT. 
          WE SIGNED UP SEVERAL PEOPLE. 
          DID YOU NOT GAVE ME SO SEEING THEM COMING IN. 
          YEAH. 
          WE SIGNED UP A LOT OF PEOPLE. 
          TEAM TALKED TO A LOT OF PEOPLE AND UH, WERE AS VISIBLE AS WE KNEW HOW TO BE. 
          YEAH. 
           CAROL CAME. 
          DIDN'T YOU COME PART OF IT DIDN'T WEREN'T THE THREE OF US THERE. 
          THERE WERE THREE OF US THERE. 
          I GOT THERE EARLY. 
          YES. 
          YOU GOT BECAUSE I SET THE TABLE UP. 
          YEAH. 
          AND THEN YOU WENT ENJOYED FRIENDS MUCH. 
          YEAH. 
          YOU STAYED A GOOD WHILE. 
          YEAH, WE, PRIOR TO THAT WAS THE JULY, NO, YEAH, THAT WAS JUNE. 
          YEAH. 
          I WASN'T THERE JULY. 
          YEAH, THAT WAS JUNE. 
          THAT'S OKAY. 
          YEAH. 
          JUNETEENTH. 
          THAT WAS IN JUNE. 
          CAROL. 
          SO TELL ME, SHE HAD LOVED SINCE JULY. 
          WE, I, WE DIDN'T START COUNTING, BUT I KNEW THAT YOU WOULD SEE THAT BECAUSE EVEN BEFORE WE GOT THE TABLE SET UP, WE STARTED SIGNING UP PEOPLE. 
          WELL, I WAS THERE BY MYSELF FOR A WHILE UNTIL THEY CAME. 
          'CAUSE I GOT THERE VERY EARLY. 
          MM-HMM . 
          UM, AND WE SIGNED UP. 
          HOW WAS THE SETUP? DID, HOW DID THAT WORK? UM, YOU KNOW, TO GET, IS THERE SOMETHING THAT WE NEED TO DO TO MAKE THAT MORE EFFECTIVE IF WE DO THAT, OR WHEN WE DO THAT AGAIN? 'CAUSE I WASN'T THERE, SO I DON'T KNOW HOW YOU AND GOT IT DONE. 
          I DON'T THINK IT'S ANYTHING ELSE WE COULD DO. 
          OKAY. 
          IT'S A MATTER OF, I MEAN, WE HAD THE QR CODES AND THAT'S ALL THEY NEED. 
          MM-HMM . 
          IT'S JUST A MATTER OF BEING VISIBLE. 
          AND WE WERE VERY VISIBLE. 
          OKAY. 
          BUT YOU GOT THE TABLES SET 
          [01:05:01]
UP. 
          YEAH. 
          BUT THAT WAS BECAUSE YEAH. 
          MAKE SURE Y'ALL HAD EVERYTHING BEFORE WE STARTED. 
          YEAH. 
          SHE, SHE HELPED US. 
          OKAY. 
          GET THAT SET UP. 
          MM-HMM . 
          AND WE HAD A REALLY GOOD SPOT. 
          OKAY. 
          I MEAN, WHERE PEOPLE CAME IN, THE VISIBILITY IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING. 
          I, I WILL SAY, IN TERMS OF OUR TIME USE AND, YOU KNOW, WE, ON DIFFERENT DAYS, WE ALL HAVE MORE TIME OR LESS TIME. 
          ONCE THE DANCING HAD STARTED AND THE CELEBRATION, THE, THE GROUP WAS COMMITTED TO THAT. 
          OKAY. 
          YEAH. 
          AND SO WE'VE, WE STAYED A WHILE INTO THAT, CAROLINE, BUT THEN, I MEAN, NOBODY WAS WALKING AROUND ANYMORE. 
          THEY WERE DANCING. 
          MM-HMM . 
          SO I THINK THAT WHEN THERE'S THOSE KIND OF EVENTS, I THINK PEOPLE SHOULD FEEL FREE TO STOP WHEN NOBODY'S WALKING AROUND ANYMORE. 
          UM, AND SO WE SHUT DOWN NOT VERY EARLY THOUGH, BUT A LITTLE BIT EARLY. 
          BUT WE, I THINK WE COULD HAVE STOPPED EARLIER BECAUSE THE PARTICIPANTS WERE DOING SOMETHING ELSE. 
          OKAY. 
          WELL TO THAT, I THINK WE COULD START EARLIER BECAUSE LIKE I SAID, I GOT THERE PROBABLY AN HOUR BEFORE THE TIME. 
          AND I DON'T KNOW WHY I CAME EARLY. 
          I WANTED TO WALK AROUND AND SEE BEFORE I GOT STARTED. 
          MM-HMM . 
          AND SO I CAME EARLY AND IT WAS GOOD BECAUSE I WAS ABLE TO SET THE TABLE UP. 
          THE YOUNG MAN, UM, STEVEN? YES. 
          STEVEN YES. 
          YES. 
          HELPED ME SET THAT TABLE UP AND, AND WE GOT STARTED. 
          OKAY. 
          SO THE THE TIME, I DON'T THINK WE NEED TO BE THERE TILL DARK. 
          RIGHT. 
          WE COULD PROBABLY, LIKE YOU SAID, WHEN ONCE THE, THE, THE CONCERTS START, THE PEOPLE START ON STAGE, IT'S TIME TO SHUT IT DOWN. 
          OKAY. 
          AND I WENT EARLY, BUT WENT OVER TO THE DEDICATION OF THE MURAL. 
          OH, OKAY. 
          UM, AND, UH, SAW SOME PEOPLE OVER THERE AND SAW THE MAYOR AND LET HIM KNOW THAT THE COMMISSION WAS THERE AND HE CAME BY THE BOOTH. 
          DID HE COME BY THE BOOTH WHEN CAROL, YOU'D ALREADY GONE? I THINK THE MAYOR CAME BY AND I, UM, THE DISTRICT TWO REPRESENTATIVE. 
          UM, AND, UH, AND SO THAT, AGAIN, I THINK THAT'S IMPORTANT THAT WE ARE, ARE VISIBLE TO HIM. 
          JESSE DID I CARRIED THE THINGS JUST BACK TO FIELDS AND LEFT THOSE. 
          YES. 
          YOU GOT THAT. 
          OKAY. 
          YES. 
          THANK YOU. 
          THAT WORKED OUT. 
          OKAY. 
          ALRIGHT. 
          BECAUSE WE DID HAVE MATERIALS THAT JESSE HAD SUPPLIED AND THEN OF COURSE AT THE END OF IT, WE NEED TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. 
          SO THAT WAS THE ONE THING I WASN'T SURE ABOUT. 
          SO I JUST TOOK IT BACK TO, UM, FIELDS AND LEFT IT. 
          AND THEY SAID THEY WOULD LET JESSE KNOW IT WAS THERE. 
          SO WAS THAT OKAY? YES. 
          ACTUALLY IT, WE HAD SOMEONE ASSIGNED TO PICK UP THOSE ITEMS THAT WAS WORKING, BUT I GUESS THAT DIDN'T HAPPEN. 
          WELL, AGAIN, WE DID NOT, WE LEFT ABOUT 30 MINUTES, BUT WHAT WAS IT? WAS IT FIVE TO NINE OR FIVE? WHATEVER IT WAS, WE STOPPED ABOUT 30 MINUTES BEFORE THAT CUTOFFS. 
          SO MAYBE THEY WOULD HAVE JESSE, BUT WE DIDN'T KNOW TO EXPECT THEM. 
          AND I, I JUST THOUGHT, WELL, I'LL, I'LL EVENTUALLY FIND JESSE. 
          THEY WERE TOLD TO CHECK BACK IN WITH YOU BEFORE. 
          OKAY. 
          YEAH. 
          I'M AFRAID IT GOT BACK. 
          'CAUSE THAT WAS THE ISSUE. 
          WE DIDN'T, SOMETIMES THE TABLECLOTH GETS MISPLACED AND WE DON'T KNOW WHERE IT IS. 
          RIGHT. 
          BUT RIGHT. 
          SO, UM, SO WHAT DO YOU, SO IN THE FUTURE, RIGHT, WE SHOULD EXPECT THAT SOMEONE WOULD YES. 
          FROM STAFF THAT'S WORKING, LEAVE IT ON THE TABLE. 
          YEAH. 
          WE'LL HAVE STAFF COME OVER TO YOU TO GET IT. 
          OR YOU CAN SAY, HEY, WE'RE, ESPECIALLY IF YOU'RE LEAVING EARLY. 
          YEAH. 
          UM, TO JUST TELL 'EM, HEY, WE'RE GONNA LEAVE EARLY. 
          THEN THEY'LL COLLECT IT FROM YOU. 
          SO WE WILL HAVE IT ALL IN ONE SPOT. 
          OKAY. 
          OKAY. 
          SO YOU WILL SEND US THAT CONTACT INFORMATION. 
          YEAH, YOU CAN ALSO, I'LL BE AT ALL OF THEM BECAUSE I'M ON THE ACTUAL COMMITTEE. 
          OH, OKAY. 
          SO YOU CAN ALSO JUST GIVE IT TO ME TOO. 
          EITHER OR. 
          YEAH. 
          OKAY. 
          COMMUNICATION. 
          AND SO THAT'S LIKE A VERY SUCCESSFUL, UH, WAY TO GET OUT, GET THE INFORMATION AND BE VISIBLE. 
          WHAT ABOUT, UM, THE JULY 3RD, UH, SITUATION? HOW DOES THAT WORK? IT WAS TO BE HOT SO HARD. 
          WE HAVE IT SO HOT, BUT, UH, I DIDN'T DO THAT ONE. 
           DIDN'T EITHER. 
          KATHLEEN AND MONDOR AND I WERE THERE. 
          MM-HMM . 
          AND THE, AT THE BEGINNING, WE, WE WERE ABLE TO SIGN UP QUITE A FEW PEOPLE. 
          I DON'T REMEMBER THE NUMBER, BUT WE WERE RIGHT NEXT TO THE BOUNCE HOUSE. 
          OH. 
          THE LINE OF KIDS WENT RIGHT IN FRONT OF OUR BOOTH. 
          OH. 
          THERE WAS NO WAY FOR A SENIOR TO GET TO US. 
          SO LOCATION IS IMPORTANT. 
          LOCATION, YOU KNOW, NOT NEXT TO THE BOUNCE HOUSE. 
          AND I WOULD'VE LIKED TO HAVE HAD SOME SCOOPS AT BOTH OF THEM, UH, TO PASS OUT. 
          BECAUSE THE LITERATURE THAT WAS ON THE TABLE WAS ABOUT THE RECREATION CENTERS, NOT THE OTHER ONES. 
          NOT THE SENIOR CENTER. 
          YEAH. 
          SO, UM, SOMETHING, THE BINDER, DID Y NOT GET THE BINDER? NO, THE BINDER WAS ONLY AT YOUR TABLE. 
          SO JALISA AND HEATHER, THEY WERE NEXT TO YOU. 
          THEY HAD THE SENIOR, UH, SCOOP IN A BINDER. 
          SO I GUESS WE CAN MAKE TWO. 
          SO THEN YOU COULD HAVE ONE. 
          AND THEN THEY HAD, 'CAUSE THEY WERE PROMOTING, THAT'S WHAT J LEAST WAS AT THE TABLE PROMOTING SENIOR CLASSES AND TRIPS. 
          AND I WOULD, ANYTIME ANYBODY CAME BY, I SENT 
          [01:10:01]
THEM TO YOUR SIDE. 
          I KNEW YOU WERE SENDING THEM OVER, BUT I DIDN'T, I DIDN'T KNOW YOU HAD A SCOOP. 
          SO IF THERE ARE SPARE ONES, AND, AND ALSO ON THE TIME OF MONTH THAT WE'RE DOING IT, RIGHT, IT'S EARLY IN THE MONTH, A SCOOP WILL BE GOOD. 
          IF IT'S LATE IN THE MONTH, IT'S, YOU KNOW, TOO LATE. 
          OR IF WE JUST HAVE EXAMPLES OF OLD SCOOPS THAT WE COULD PUT OUT THERE FOR PEOPLE TO, TO TAKE. 
          SO THEY'LL KNOW THAT THIS IS A WAY THAT WE CAN COMMUNICATE AND THESE ARE THE THINGS THAT GO ON. 
          SO EVEN IF THEY'RE NOT CURRENT, IT WOULD BE GOOD FOR PEOPLE TO SEE THAT INFORMATION. 
          WE CAN DO A COMBINATION. 
          SO WE COULD PROBABLY HAVE A CURRENT ONE AND THEN SOME PAST ONES AS WELL. 
          SO WE CAN TAKE CARE OF THAT. 
          SO I HAVE, SO TOO, WHAT ABOUT FREEBIES? YOU KNOW, A LOT OF, WE WERE JUST LUCKY SHE GAVE US FREEBIES. 
          THAT'S HOW WE HAD ON THE TABLE. 
          WE DIDN'T ACTUALLY HAVE ANY. 
          SO HOW DO, HOW DO WE GET, YOU KNOW, THERE WERE WRISTBANDS AND LITTLE DUCKIES AND SO WE DON'T REALLY HAVE A BUDGET FOR FREEBIES FOR THE ADVISORY. 
          SO THAT'S SOMETHING I HAD TO LOOK INTO AND SEE IF WE CAN ACTUALLY GET SOME MONEY TO GET YOU THINGS THAT ARE STRICTLY ADVISORY VERSUS BEING PARK AND REC. 
          OR IT MIGHT JUST BE PARK AND REC ITEMS. THAT'S OKAY TOO BECAUSE THE SENIOR CENTERS ARE PART OF PARK AND REC. 
          SO, AND WHEN YOU JUST, IT'S MOSTLY THE KIDS, YOU KNOW, COME UP AND WANT SOMETHING. 
          BUT THE GRANDPARENTS HAD A LOT OF THE KIDS. 
          YEAH. 
          SO THAT'S BROUGHT THEM TO THE TABLES AND WE GOT THEM TO STAY, YOU KNOW, SO YEAH. 
          WE CAN SHARE GIVEAWAYS. 
          OKAY. 
          FREEBIES AREN'T REALLY FREE. 
          THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE TELLING US. 
          , YOU'RE NOT FINE. 
          NO SUCH THING. 
          HUH? SO I THINK GILI COULD, COULD HAVE BEEN BETTER IF WE'D HAD A BETTER LOCATION. 
          'CAUSE UH, THE, ONCE THE BOUNCE HOUSE GOT STARTED, YEAH. 
          I DON'T, I THINK YOU PROBABLY NOTICED THAT TOO, ONCE THE BOUNCE HOUSE GOT STARTED. 
          UH, YEAH. 
          AND THERE MAY BE A THOUGHT OF MOVING NOW BEHIND THE BOUNCE OUT. 
          YEAH. 
          AND THAT WAS SPECIAL EVENTS. 
          SO THEY PLACED YOU, THAT'S, I CAN TALK TO THEM, BUT WE DEFINITELY WANT YOU NEXT TO THE PARK AND REC TABLE. 
          RIGHT. 
          SO JUST IN CASE, IF YOU NEED TO TAKE A BREAK OR IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS, THEN THEY'RE NEXT DOOR TO YOU. 
          OKAY. 
          THAT SOUNDS MAYBE THE BOUNCE OUT. 
          SO WE HAD TWO GREAT SUCCESSFUL OPPORTUNITIES TO LET PEOPLE KNOW THAT WE EXIST AND WHAT'S GOING ON FOR SENIORS. 
          SO NOW WE'VE GOT OCTOBER COMING UP AND I'M SORRY, MY COMPUTER WAS DOWN, SO I DIDN'T HAVE THAT TO UH, TO, TO PRINT ANYTHING OUT TO SHARE WITH YOU. 
          BUT I CAN SEND SOMETHING TO YOU GAIL, AND YOU CAN SEND IT OUT TO THE, OF THOSE PEOPLE THAT HAVE SIGNED UP TO ACTUALLY PARTICIPATE ON THE EIGHTH. 
          AND, AND, UH, SO Y'ALL DID THIS LAST YEAR. 
          HOW LONG DO PEOPLE NEED TO STAY? HOW MANY PEOPLE DO WE NEED? TELL IT'S ONLY THREE HOURS. 
          IT'S HOURS. 
          IT'S NINE TO NOON. 
          MM-HMM . 
          SO LET'S, IT'S NOT A LONG AND IT'S INSIDE. 
          OKAY. 
          SO, UM, YOU KNOW, THERE'S NOT THE WEATHER COMPONENT. 
          RIGHT? WE HAD THREE PEOPLE LAST YEAR. 
          UH, UM, AND I SIGNED UP FOR THIS TOO. 
          I THINK YOU HAVE, I THINK I'M AND GA. 
          SO REALLY BASICALLY THE MORE THE MERRIER I GUESS. 
          BECAUSE IF YOU'RE NOT AT THE TABLE, YOU CAN WANDER AROUND TO THE VENDORS AND TALK TO THEM. 
          I TALK TO PEOPLE AND CHECK AND SEE WHAT FREEBIES THEY HAVE. 
          YEAH. 
          AND BRING THEM BACK TO OUR TABLE TO THAT'S RIGHT. 
          YEAH. 
          GO PICK THEM UP. 
          BREAK. 
          AND SO, AND WILL YOU HAVE FREEBIES FOR US? UH, ON THE EIGHTH? I'M GONNA CHECK. 
          OKAY. 
          OKAY. 
          AND SO THE OTHER THING THAT, UH, I WANTED TO TALK ABOUT, AND I THINK THAT ANN AND UH, VENITA HAVE ALREADY GONE TO CARVER TO, ON THOSE DAYS WHEN THERE ARE PEOPLE AT THE CENTER AROUND AN ACTIVITY THAT THEY ALREADY HAVE PLANNED. 
          LIKE BINGO. 
          I TALKED TO DEE ABOUT THAT AND JSA ABOUT WHAT DAYS DO THEY HAVE BINGO. 
          AND IF WE COULD GO JUST A LITTLE BEFORE THOSE DAYS. 
          'CAUSE THEY SAY THAT'S WHEN THEY GET THE LARGEST CROWD OF PEOPLE. 
          AND WE GO BEFORE AND THEN GET PEOPLE REGISTERED ON THOSE DAYS. 
          SO DID WE WANNA SELECT A DAY THAT WE DO IT AT BOTH OF THE CENTERS OR DO WE JUST WANT PEOPLE TO SHOW UP WHENEVER THEY WOULD LIKE? THAT WAS GONNA BE MY QUESTION. 
          AND WE CAN, WE CAN DO IT JUST, YOU KNOW, NEXT MONTH THIS AUGUST. 
          SO, SO DO IT IN SEPTEMBER. 
          WHEN DO THEY HAVE THESE DAYS? EVERY FRIDAY. 
          UH, AT, UM, GAIL AND EVERY Y'ALL HAVE IT TWO DAYS? NO. 
          DARD HAS IT TOO. 
          OKAY. 
          I'VE GOT IT BACKWARDS. 
          OKAY. 
          MONDAYS AND FRIDAYS. 
          MONDAYS AND FRIDAYS. 
          MM-HMM . 
          AND WE'RE FRIDAYS. 
          AND Y'ALL ARE FRIDAYS. 
          YEAH. 
          AND SO, AND THAT'S EVERY WEEK. 
          SO WE CAN PICK A DAY IF WE WANT TO. 
          UH, JUST TO HAVE A DAY WHERE WE JUST GO THAT DAY I SAID I WAS GONNA GO TO CARVER, UH, BECAUSE MANY OF US ARE ALREADY AT GALE. 
          IF PEOPLE WANNA DO THAT. 
          SO IS THERE A PARTICULAR DAY YOU WOULD LIKE TO GO? OR, 
          [01:15:02]
AND, AND WE HAVE TO GO BEFORE BINGO OR AFTER, BECAUSE DURING BINGO WE GET, WE'LL GET, UH, WE WON'T BE GREETED VERY WELL. 
          . 
          AND WE WANT PEOPLE TO LIKE US. 
          I'VE GOTTEN TO KNOW A FEW OF THE, UH, COVER PARTICIPANTS NOW A LITTLE BIT. 
          UHHUH AND MR. BILLY WILL NOT ALLOW ANYTHING TO INTERFERE WITH A PLANNED SCHEDULED OKAY. 
          YET. 
          OKAY. 
          OKAY. 
          . 
          HE HAS A A HE HAS QUITE A FROWN. 
          OKAY. 
          OKAY. 
          . 
          SO, UH, THE LADIES TELL HIM TO BE QUIET. 
          OKAY. 
          . 
          BUT, UH, HE, HE, UH, YEAH. 
          IT WOULD NOT NEED TO INTERFERE WITH BINGO FOR SURE. 
          NO. 
          AND, AND THAT'S OUR GOAL IS NOT TO INTERFERE, BUT OUR GOAL IS WANTING TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF WHEN THERE ARE THE MOST AMOUNT OF PEOPLE IN THE ROOM. 
          AND IF POSSIBLE, OR WE DON'T HAVE TO. 
          THAT'S, THAT'S JUST AN IDEA. 
          UM, WHAT IS THE, WHAT DO PEOPLE THINK ABOUT THAT? I THINK IT'S BETTER. 
          IT'S, IT'S, I LIKE A SCHEDULE. 
          OKAY. 
          I LIKE TO PLAN TO MM-HMM .

          OKAY. 
          SO WE'LL DO THAT ON THE 21ST. 
          UH, I WAS THINKING THAT IF WE DO THAT ON THE 21ST, THEN WE, WE CAN DO SOMETHING IN SEPTEMBER OR NOT. 
          I WAS THINKING WE'D DO SOMETHING ONCE A QUARTER IF THAT WOULD BE, DO Y'ALL THINK THAT, OR DO WE NEED TO DO SOMETHING MORE OFTEN THAN THAT? BECAUSE WE DID ALL THIS, ALL THE JUNE AND THE JULY STUFF. 
          AND SO IF WE DO SOMETHING IN AUGUST, THEN I THINK WE REST BECAUSE WE'VE GOT SOMETHING BIG COMING, WHICH IS THE OPENING OF THE SENIOR CENTER. 
          AND I THINK WE NEED TO PUT OUR ENERGIES IN, IN THERE FOR ANY KIND OF ADVERTISEMENT. 
          WHAT DO Y'ALL THINK? GOOD. 
          I AGREE. 
          OKAY. 
          SO WE'LL DO THE AUGUST 21ST AND THEN WE'LL WAIT AND SEE WHAT COMES, WHAT WE NEED TO DO NEXT. 
          THANK Y'ALL SO MUCH. 
          I APPRECIATE YOU. 
          I'M SORRY I, I WASN'T HERE FOR THOSE TWO EVENTS, BUT I KNOW THAT'S ALL RIGHT. 
          WE COVERED IT. 
          I KNOW Y'ALL GOT IT. 
          . 
          I JUST WANTED PICTURES. 
          I I MEANT TO ASK YOU TO TAKE PICTURES. 
          OH, WE DIDN'T EVEN THINK ABOUT THAT OUT THERE FOR PEOPLE TO SEE THAT WEREN'T DOING STUFF AT THE VERY END. 
          I SAID TO CAROL, OH YEAH, WE'RE SUPPOSED TO HAVE PICTURES. 
           ANNUAL REPORT. 
          YOU'VE ASKED ME TO REMIND YOU THAT YOU LIKE SOME OF THOSE, BUT WE DIDN'T. 
          IT'D BEEN NICE FOR THE SETUP AND EVERYTHING. 
          YEAH. 
          WELL, WE'LL WORK ON IT THOUGH. 
          WE'LL WORK ON LITTLE MORE ORGANIZATION NEXT TIME. 
          YES. 
          NEED A PROCEDURE. 
          DO YOU LIKE TO GIVE US A FOOD ASSISTANCE UPDATE? UH, I REALLY DON'T HAVE ANYTHING OTHER THAN, UM, YOU KNOW, THERE'S, I'M WORKING ON SOME THINGS. 
          THERE'S A, SOME MONEY OUT THERE AND I'M JUST NEED TO CHECK IT BEFORE I PUT IT OUT. 
          THERE'S MONEY FOR UTILITIES AND, UM, FAMILIES WHO OWN HOMES WHO DO NOT HAVE PROPER HEATING AND AIR CONDITIONING. 
          BUT I NEED TO CHECK ON IT BEFORE I PUT IT OUT. 
          SO I WILL GET THAT OUT IN A NEWSLETTER. 
          I KNOW THE FOOD, UH, SCHEDULE CAME OUT. 
          YES. 
          SO BIT LATE. 
          WELL, THEY NEED VOLUNTEERS. 
          I SEE. 
          I, I WAS DOING THAT AT ONE TIME AND WE WERE GETTING IT OUT AT, ON THE FIRST, BUT I HAD TO GIVE THAT UP 'CAUSE I HAVE SO MUCH ON MY AGENDA. 
          MM-HMM . 
          . 
          SO, AND IT'S HARD GETTING THAT TOGETHER. 
          IT IS VERY DIFFICULT. 
          WHOEVER'S DOING IT NOW, IT IS NOT AN EASY JOB. 
          MM-HMM . 
          THEY HAVE TO VERIFY EVERY LOCATION IS UH, YEAH. 
          A PROCESS. 
          IT'S A PROCESS. 
          YEAH. 
          SEE, WOULD YOU LIKE TO GIVE US AN UPDATE ON, UH, WEBSITE? WE HAVE, UH, AS FAR AS THE JOT FORMS, WE HAVE 376 SUBMISSIONS, UH, FOR THE EMAIL LIST. 
          AND THEN WE HAVE 88, UH, PEOPLE THAT HAVE THE FILLED OUT THE ACTUAL INTEREST SURVEY. 
          SO WE'RE MOVING ALONG. 
          I THINK WE'LL PROBABLY GET TO 400 PEOPLE FOR THE EMAIL LIST PROBABLY BY END OF THIS MONTH, IF NOT THE BEGINNING OF NEXT MONTH. 
          OH, THAT'S GOOD. 
          THAT'S A GOOD CALL. 
          YES. 
          YEAH, WE'RE MOVING. 
          DO YOU HAVE A CUTOFF MAXIMUM? WELL, JOT FORM TOLD ME THAT WE'RE, WE'RE AT 450 COMBINED BETWEEN THE EMAIL AND THE INTEREST FORM. 
          SO ONCE WE GET THE 500, EITHER 'EM HAVE TO GET US A PAID ACCOUNT OR HAVE TO GET A DIFFERENT QR CODE. 
          SO HOPEFULLY I GET US A PAID ACCOUNT. 
          'CAUSE OTHER PEOPLE WITHIN THE CITY THAT USES FORM. 
          SO HOPEFULLY WE CAN JUST GET ON THEIR ENTERPRISE ACCOUNT AND WE CAN KEEP THIS CURRENT, UH, FORM THAT WE HAVE GOING VERSUS STARTING A NEW ONE. 
          HAVE TO SWITCH OUT QR CODES AND DO ALL THAT STUFF. 
          BUT THAT'S A GOOD THING TO HAVE TO POTENTIALLY HAVE, IF WE SET A GOAL. 
          I DON'T THINK NO ONE SET A GOAL AS FAR AS HOW MANY PEOPLE YOU WANTED ON THE LIST. 
          WE JUST WANTED TO GET AS MANY PEOPLE AS WE WANTED. 
          OKAY. 
          BUT THIS IS, IN MY OPINION, THIS IS GREAT. 
          I MEAN, ESPECIALLY, I'M EXCITED. 
          I THINK IT IS TOO, COMPARED TO WHAT WE HAD. 
          YES. 
          ESPECIALLY YOU'VE ONLY DONE TWO EVENTS AND THEN IT'S JUST AT THE FACILITIES. 
          SO THAT'S PRETTY GOOD. 
          [01:25:02]
AND IT'S GREAT. 
          YES. 
          THAT'S VERY NEW. 
          STILL THE EMAIL BLAST. 
          YEAH. 
          AND THEN THE, AND HOPEFULLY NEXT MONTH I'LL HAVE A GOOD ANNOUNCEMENT FOR YOU. 
          SO WE'LL SEE. 
          SO HOPEFULLY WE'LL HAVE A PERTAINING TO A-G-S-A-C, SO HOPEFULLY, FINGERS CROSSED. 
          GOOD DEAL. 
          OKAY. 
          I GUESS, UM, I GUESS KIND OF TAGGING ALONG WITH THAT, REGARDING THE GAZETTE, I DID SEND THAT LATEST AJ SENIORS IN THE KNOW TO AJ. 
          THANK YOU. 
          MM-HMM . 
          YEAH. 
          RECEIVED IT TUESDAY. 
          THAT'S GREAT. 
          UM, NITA CITY PRESS THIS WELL, UH, I'LL APOLOGIZE ABOUT THE CITY PRESS. 
          I, CAROL SENT ME SEVERAL EMAILS ABOUT WHAT WAS HAPPENING OVER THE SUMMER AND I DID NOT THINK WE NEEDED ONE FOR THE, UM, LATEST ISSUE. 
          AND WE DID, AND I APOLOGIZE 'CAUSE WE DIDN'T HAVE ANYTHING, BUT THEY, CAROL WAS GREAT TO STILL GET THE QR CODE AND, UH, INFORMATION, OUR INFORMATION WAS IN THERE. 
          SO, WE'LL, I, I'LL TRY NOT TO LET THAT HAPPEN AGAIN. 
          UH, MY SUMMER GOT, UM, I HAD MANY SURPRISE FAMILY EVENTS. 
          I WASN'T ANTICIPATING AND, AND FAMILY STAYING WITH ME THAT I HADN'T ANTICIPATED WAS JOYOUS, BUT, UM, CHANGED MY PLAN. 
          SO I WANNA APOLOGIZE ABOUT THAT. 
          AND WE CAN TALK ABOUT A TOPIC IN A, SO CAROL, THE NEXT DEADLINE IS IN YOUR HEAD OR NOT? AUGUST 21ST. 
          OKAY. 
          UM, SO I SHOULD HAVE HAD IT READY TODAY TO SHARE, AND IT'S NOT, UM, IF, IF YOU DON'T HAVE A TOPIC, ONE OF THE THINGS I HAD SAID IS THAT, SO I THOUGHT THAT WAS WHAT YOU WANTED NEXT, BUT I WASN'T. 
          OKAY. 
          THAT'S WHAT YOU WANT. 
          ALL RIGHT. 
          OKAY. 
          UH, WE WILL, WE WILL DO THAT. 
          AND THEN I'M GONNA GET THE TENNIS CENTER READY. 
          OH YEAH. 
          SO IT'LL BE READY WHENEVER WE, AGAIN, I FORGET WHAT DATES WE'RE DOING, UM, BECAUSE THEY'RE READY TO TALK ABOUT WHAT THEY'RE OFFERING TO SENIORS, WHICH IS A LITTLE BIT, A LITTLE BIT OF STUFF. 
          UM, THE SECOND THING I NEED TO APOLOGIZE FOR TO EVERYBODY IS THE, UM, OUR SUB SUBCOMMITTEE ON CELEBRATION. 
          WE DID MEET AND I SAID I WOULD GET THE MINUTES OUT THAT NEXT WEEK. 
          AND HERE THEY ARE TODAY. 
          I WAS GONNA LOOK UP THE MEETING DATE AND I FORGOT IT WAS 6 22. 
          SO, GAIL, HAVE YOU PASSED THOSE OUT? YES, MA'AM. 
          OKAY. 
          SO IF Y'ALL WOULD LOOK AT THAT AND PUT, PUT A DATE ON IT. 
          IT SHOULD BE 6 22 THAT WE, UH, HERE'S KATHLEEN, WHAT'S COMING, UM, THAT WE HAD AT THE MINUTES THAT WE HAD THE MEETING. 
          SO, UM, WE HAD, UH, CLARIFIED THAT THE SUBCOMMITTEE COULD EXIST AND BE CONSIDERED A QUORUM IF WE HAD AT LEAST, UM, TWO PEOPLE. 
          LET ME HAND ONE TO DEE IF SHE'S STILL BEHIND ME. 
          AND, UM, AND DEE, WE KNOW Y'ALL ARE HUGELY IMPORTANT. 
          JESSE SAID YOU OFTEN HAD TO LEAVE THIS MEETING TO GET TO ANOTHER ONE. 
          SO HE WAS, HE HAD PROMISED TO BE SURE YOU, YOU GUYS ALWAYS GOT THE INFORMATION. 
          BUT WE'RE PROPOSING A COLLABORATIVE ACTIVITY WITH THE CENTERS, CERTAINLY WITH THE CENTERS. 
          AND WE, WE CONFIRMED THAT OUR SUBCOMMITTEE, IF WE HAD AT LEAST TWO PEOPLE, WE COULD MOVE THINGS FORWARD TO THE COMMISSION. 
          SO THERE WERE FOUR OF US THERE. 
          SAL WASN'T ABLE TO BE THERE THAT DAY. 
          I PROMISED HIM I'D SEND THE MINUTES RIGHT AWAY. 
          AND SAL HERE THEY ARE TODAY. 
          UH, I WILL SEND THEM BY EMAIL. 
          I'LL ADD THE DATE AND SEND THEM BY EMAIL TO EVERYBODY. 
          BUT, UM, I HAD SENT SOME IDEAS OUT, SO THEN I ASKED OTHER PEOPLE TO DO IT, TO BRING IDEAS TO THE MEETING. 
          AND, UM, WE WENT AND EACH PERSON CONTRIBUTED SOME THINGS. 
          JESSE JOINED US AND CLARIFIED WHAT WE COULD AND COULDN'T DO WITHOUT GETTING FURTHER PERMISSION FROM THE CITY COUNCIL OR OTHERS. 
          SO I HOPE JESSE HAVE INTERPRETED THAT CORRECTLY, THAT IF WE WERE DOING ACTIVITIES AT THE CENTER IN CONJUNCTION WITH PARKS AND RECREATION'S APPROVAL AT THE CENTER, THEN WE COULD DO THAT. 
          NOT DOING ANYTHING OUT INTO THE COMMUNITY. 
          SO I HAD HAD SOME IDEAS ABOUT INVOLVING THE DOWNTOWN AREA, BUT, BUT PRETTY QUICKLY WE AGREED WE WOULD STICK TO THE CENTER AND DO THINGS AT THE CENTER. 
          SO WE DISCUSSED A LOT OF IDEAS AND, UM, SO WE'RE COMING TO Y'ALL TODAY TO ASK, TO CONTINUE TO WORK ON THIS ACTIVITY. 
          UM, AND, AND, AND THINGS COULD CHANGE SOME AS WE START TO REALLY IMPLEMENT IT. 
          BUT HERE'S SOME OF THE IDEAS WE HAD. 
          AND, UH, ANN JUMP RIGHT IN. 
          KATHLEEN WAS THERE. 
          JUMP RIGHT IN. 
          TONY, JUMP RIGHT IN IF I'M FORGETTING THINGS. 
          SO WE TALKED ABOUT THE RIBBON CUTTING, AND THAT'S OFTEN DIGNITARIES AND THAT'S IMPORTANT, BUT WE'RE HOPING THE DIGNITARIES WOULD INCLUDE SOME SENIORS, PERHAPS THE, UM, OLDEST PARTICIPATING SENIORS, ONE EACH FROM FIELDS AND CARVER, IF WE CAN. 
          AND IDENTIFY SOME PEOPLE THAT WOULD BE GOOD TO, TO BE STANDING THERE BECAUSE WE THINK THEY SHOULD BE INCLUDED AS WELL, IF POSSIBLE. 
          UH, A MEMORY TREE, UH, 
          [01:30:01]
UH, UH, WE WE'RE STILL WORKING ON HOW THE TREE MIGHT LOOK, UH, UH, BUT A TREE WHERE PEOPLE WOULD PUT, UH, THINGS THAT THEY'VE APPRECIATED ABOUT THE CENTERS OR THINGS, UH, ENCOURAGING MESSAGES TO ONE ANOTHER THAT, UM, AND, AND WE'RE WORKING ON WHAT WE, HOW WE WOULD, WHAT THE TREE WOULD BE LIKE AND HOW WE WOULD MANAGE IT. 
          WE TALKED ABOUT A TREE ON THE WALL AND WASN'T SURE THAT THE NEW CENTER WOULD WANT, UH, SOMETHING STUCK ON THE WALL RIGHT AWAY. 
          SO AGAIN, WITHOUT KNOWING YET THE POSSIBILITIES IN THE NEW CENTER, WHETHER THERE COULD BE A WINDOW. 
          WE ALSO, I SHOWED ANN, UM, A METAL TREE. 
          I HAVE. 
          RIGHT. 
          THAT'S, UM, KIND OF COOL AND, BUT IT, WE WOULD NEED MORE OF THOSE. 
          AND THEY'RE NOT INEXPENSIVE, SO WE HAVE TO SEE IF THERE'S SOME FLORIST MIGHT LOAN US ONE OR WE, WE MIGHT, WE'RE WORKING ON THAT. 
          BUT SOME WAY, OR IF ONE OF YOU ALL HAVE AN IDEA OR SOMETHING THAT YOU COULD, WE COULD USE TEMPORARILY FOR THAT DAY. 
          YES. 
          AND, AND SO WE THOUGHT THAT MIGHT BE NICE TO HAVE. 
          UM, UH, ANNE WOULD LIKE, UH, SOME SENIORS TO SING AND SHE, SHE DID MENTION THAT WHEN WE WENT OVER TO CARVER. 
          BUT IF WE COULD GET A GROUP FROM, UH, A, A GROUP OR A SINGLE PERSON WHO MIGHT, UH, SING AN OPENING SONG. 
          UH, WE, WE KNOW WE HAVE A LOT OF SENIORS WHO CAN SING. 
          NOT ME, BUT OTHERS. 
          UM, WE HOPE TO HAVE A PHOTOGRAPHER THERE OR POSSIBLY A 360 BOOTH. 
          TONY SAID SHE MIGHT KNOW SOMEBODY COULD HELP US WITH THAT BECAUSE THAT THEY ARE EXPENSIVE. 
          BUT, UM, WE, WE MIGHT BE ABLE TO DO THAT. 
          OR WE MIGHT BE ABLE TO GET, UM, OUR APPRECIATION DONATION FOR A A 360 PHOTO BOOTH. 
          UM, WE WANTED TO INCLUDE SOMEBODY, AS I MENTIONED TO FROM CARVER. 
          THEY CAN'T BE ON THE SUBCOMMITTEE 'CAUSE THEY'RE NOT ON THE COMMISSION, BUT TO JUST MAKE CARVER FEEL INCLUDED. 
          AND, UH, A PERSON CAME RIGHT UP AND VOLUNTEERED WHILE ANNE AND I WERE THERE. 
          UM, BUT WE WERE TOLD THAT MIGHT NOT BE THE BEST PERSON TO PARTICIPATE WITH US. 
          UM, AND SO NOW AGAIN, WE'RE GONNA, WE'RE GONNA GET SOMEONE FROM THERE, UM, HOPEFULLY SO THAT THEY WOULD DO THAT. 
          UM, PARTICIPATE AND, AND BE SURE I I, AFTER VISITING CARVER, I FEEL EVEN MORE THAT, UM, THAT'S THE STEPCHILD OF THIS RIGHT NOW. 
          IT DOESN'T HAVE ALL THE RESOURCES THAT FIELDS HAS AND IT, UM, AND I WANT THE SENIORS ATTENDING THERE TO FEEL INCLUDED. 
          UM, WE THOUGHT WE COULD START THE LIBRARY BOOK DONATION POSSIBILITY TO EITHER HAVE A BOX FOR THOSE OR NOT. 
          AND AGAIN, ALL OF THESE THINGS HAVE TO BE APPROVED BY THE PEOPLE IN CHARGE. 
          RIGHT. 
          UM, WE, UH, KATHLEEN TALKED ABOUT HAVING THE COMMISSION MEMBERS DO SOME TOURS, BE BE PREPARED TO DO TOURS IN THE CENTER IF WE HAVE A BIG TURNOUT. 
          AND THAT WE MIGHT HAVE, UM, SOME SIGNS OR PLACARDS IN, IN EACH ROOM WITH THE KINDS OF ACTIVITIES THAT WOULD BE HAPPENING IN THAT ROOM, UM, FOR THE FUTURE. 
          UM, JESSIE INDICATED THAT REFRESHMENTS WOULD PROBABLY BE COOKIES AND WATER, UM, BROUGHT FROM PARKS AND RECREATION. 
          UH, BUT WE COULD, UH, SEE WHAT ELSE THAT WE COULD POSSIBLY HOLD. 
          WE WERE INTERESTED IN A DANCE BECAUSE YOU HEARD AGAIN, UM, THE SENIORS DO LIKE TO DANCE. 
          AND I'VE WITNESSED THAT, UH, AT THE, UH, AT WHAT, WHAT DANCE? THAT THE VEGAS PARTY, THEY LIKE TO DANCE AND, UM, THEY DID. 
          AND SO WE THOUGHT MAYBE, YOU KNOW, HAVE A, MAYBE HAVE A DJ. 
          AND I THINK, WAS IT ANN THAT THOUGHT SHE KNEW? WHO KNEW, WHO KNEW A DJ? I THINK IT WAS TONY. 
          TONY. 
          UM, AND THEN THE POSSIBILITY OF A TIME CAPSULE. 
          OF COURSE THE OPENING'S GONNA OCCUR WHEN THE BUILDING'S DONE. 
          SO I DON'T KNOW WHETHER A TIME CAPSULE IS PLANNED BY THE CITY CAN BE BURIED STILL UNDER THE CENTER, NEAR THE CENTER, HELD THERE FOR THE NEXT 25 YEARS OR 50 YEARS. 
          BUT WE THOUGHT THE SENIORS WOULD LIKE TO BRING THINGS, UM, OF THEIR PAST OR PRESENT FOR A GENERATION IN THE FUTURE. 
          SO AGAIN, THOSE ARE OUR IDEAS THAT WE'D LIKE TO WORK ON. 
          UH, JESSE CLARIFIED THAT WE COULD ASK FOR, UM, APPRECIATION DONATIONS TO, TO THE CITY. 
          WE, WE CAN'T, YOU KNOW, WE'RE NOT CALLING IT A RAFFLE. 
          WE'RE NOT, YOU KNOW, IT'S A, IT'S, IF YOU APPRECIATE THE CITY OF GARLAND AND THE SENIOR CENTER AND YOU'D LIKE TO MAKE A, A DONATION OF SOME SORT FOR DOOR PRIZES OR SOMETHING, THEN WE COULD DO THAT. 
          AND ANN HAS DRAFTED A LETTER, WHICH AGAIN, WE, WE NEEDED Y'ALL TO SAY IT'S OKAY TO START WORKING ON THAT. 
          WE DIDN'T KNOW IF SOME OF YOU WOULD GO TO BUSINESSES AND ASK OR NOT. 
          LET ME SAY SOMETHING ABOUT THAT. 
          OKAY. 
          YOU DO THAT ANN, BECAUSE I SENT THE LETTER TO YOU AND CAROL AND CAROL HAD A REALLY GOOD SUGGESTION ABOUT THE LETTER THAT EACH DISTRICT VISIT THAT BUSINESS IN THEIR DISTRICT, WHICH WAS A GREAT IDEA. 
          THAT WAY WE'RE NOT GOING ALL OVER THE 
          [01:35:01]
CITY. 
          WE JUST CONCENTRATE ON THE BUSINESSES THAT ARE IN YOUR DISTRICT. 
          AND I'LL SEND THAT LETTER OUT NOW THAT IT'S BEEN APPROVED BY JESSE AND CAROL TO EACH OF YOU, UH, SO THAT YOU CAN USE THAT LETTER TO SOLICIT, UM, WHATEVER. 
          HOPEFULLY IT'LL BE WHERE, UM, THE BUSINESSES WILL BE HAPPY TO DONATE. 
          AND I THINK THEY WILL. 
          UH, THE LETTERS, UM, I THINK WELL WRITTEN, UH, IT WAS PROVED BY SEVERAL PEOPLE, INCLUDING, UM, IT HAS TO BE APPROVED BY THE COMMISSION TODAY. 
          YES. 
          THAT WE CAN EVEN PROCEED. 
          YEAH. 
          WELL I SENT IT TO YOU GUYS AND SO YOU ALL CAN SAY WHAT YOU ALL FELT ABOUT THE LETTER AND THEN IF SOMEONE, I'M AT LARGE, I'M DISTRICT TWO, BUT, UM, IF SOMEBODY DOESN'T WANNA DO IT, UM, I, I'M, I'M VERY COMFORTABLE ASKING PEOPLE FOR SOMETHING AND SO, OR I COULD DO A DISTRICT WHERE MAYBE SOMEBODY CAN'T DO AS MUCH OR WHATEVER. 
          SO, UM, SO THAT'S, THAT'S WHAT WE'RE PROPOSING TO THE GROUP AND WE'RE ASKING Y'ALL TO, UM, UH, ALLOW US TO PROCEED AS A SUBCOMMITTEE AND START THE ACTIVITY. 
          BUT JESSE HAS SOME THAT ONE COMMENT, THERE'S A HIGH, HIGHLY GOOD CHANCE THAT THE RIBBON CUTTING AND THE OPENING OF THE FACILITY WILL BE TWO DIFFERENT DAYS. 
          AHA. 
          OKAY. 
          SO MEANING MAYBE SOME OF THESE ACTIVITIES WILL, COULD JUST BE FOR THE RIBBON CUTTING ONLY AND THEN THE OTHERS THAT IT ACTUALLY OFFICIALLY OPENS. 
          OKAY. 
          OH, OKAY. 
          THAT WOULD, SO THAT MAY KEEP THAT IN MIND. 
          YEAH, THAT'D BE FINE TOO. 
          AND AGAIN, IF THE DIGNITARIES HAVE THEIR OWN PLANS ABOUT THE RIBBON CUTTING, WE JUST THINK IT'S THE SENIOR CENTER. 
          LET'S HAVE SOME SENIORS STANDING THERE. 
          AND BECAUSE DION, WE'VE TALKED, SHE'S ALREADY PLANNING FOR OBVIOUSLY WHEN IT OPENS TO THE PUBLIC TO, YOU KNOW, HAVE SOME TYPE OF SHINDIG OR SOMETHING. 
          SO MAYBE PROBABLY MAJORITY, IF NOT ALL, COULD BE DONE THAT DAY. 
          BUT AGAIN, THAT'S JUST, I WOULD JUST KEEP THAT IN MIND THAT THOSE TWO DAYS MAY BE DIFFERENT. 
          OKAY. 
          OKAY. 
          LET ME, ALL OF Y'ALL ABOUT THE LETTER, WHICH IS GREAT LETTER, BUT I THINK TAKING IT AND HANDING IT TO THE MANAGER OF THE STORE IN PERSON AND HAVING A CONVERSATION WOULD WORK BETTER THAN JUST OH YEAH. 
          THAT THE, THE LETTER IS, I'M GLAD YOU SAID THAT. 
          THE LETTER IS NOT TO SEND OR HAND THE LETTER IS A GUIDE FOR YOU TO GIVE YOU SOME IDEAS OF WHAT YOU'RE GONNA BE ASKING FOR. 
          YOU KNOW, HOPEFULLY I'M, THANK YOU FOR CLARIFYING THAT. 
          SO WE'VE DONE THAT IN THE PAST FOR, UH, EMPLOYEE APPRECIATION WHEN WE HAVE OUR, ALL OF OUR STAFF MEET AND WE WOULD GO TO THE, THE FACILITY AND THEN WE WOULD TALK TO THEM AND THEN HAND THEM THE LETTER AS WELL, BECAUSE SOME OF THEM WOULD WANT SOMETHING IN WRITING AS WELL. 
          OKAY. 
          AS AN ANNOUNCEMENT, SAL WILL BE LEAVING US BECAUSE HE HAS BEEN APPOINTED TO A DIFFERENT GROUP. 
          UM, LET'S SEE. 
          IT'S GONNA BE THE, UM, PROPERTY STANDARDS BOARD. 
          UM, THE COUNCILMAN, UH, I CAN'T PRONOU HER NAME, SIR. 
          ANO ASKED ME THERE ON THAT BOARD AND UH, SHE'S GONNA APPOINT SOMEBODY ELSE TO TAKE MY PLACE ALREADY. 
          SO WE'LL HAVE, WE WILL BE HAVING A COUPLE OF NEW PEOPLE JOINING THE COMMISSION HOPEFULLY BY NEXT MONTH. 
          HAS ANYBODY HEARD FROM BOB? NOPE. 
          AND IN THAT VEIN, REMEMBER, DID YOU HAVE SOMETHING ELSE TO SAY? I JUST WANNA SAY I THOROUGHLY ENJOYED SERVING ON THIS COMMITTEE AND I THINK WE'VE MADE A DIFFERENCE. 
          Y'ALL WILL CONTINUE TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE. 
          THAT'S THE IMPORTANT THINGS I LOOK FAR TO HEARING FROM Y'ALL. 
          I PROBABLY ATTEND, TEND AS A SPECTATOR IN THE FUTURE. 
          'CAUSE I NEED, NEED US ALL SORTS OF GOOD INFORMATION HERE. 
          AND I LIKE TO TELL MY NEIGHBORS ABOUT IT TOO, AND IT REALLY HELPS. 
          SO, LIKE I SAY, GOOD LUCK TO Y'ALL AND YOU'LL ALWAYS BE IN MY THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS. 
          WELL, THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE. 
          IN OCTOBER, WE HAVE ELECTIONS FOR CHAIR AND VICE CHAIR COMING UP, SO IF ANYONE WANTS TO RUN, PLEASE PUT YOUR HAT IN THE RING CONSIDERATION. 
          AND YOU KNOW, I'VE ALWAYS HAD A PROBLEM WITH HAVING NEW PEOPLE COME IN IN SEPTEMBER AND NOT HAVING A CHANCE TO GET TO KNOW US AND THEN HAVING TO VOTE IN OCTOBER, BUT THAT'S THE WAY THE EVERYTHING'S WRITTEN. 
          SO THAT'S WHAT WE'LL HAVE TO DO. 
          DO WE KNOW WHO'S BEEN REAPPOINTED? NO. 
          ABOUT WHAT? YEAH, I GUESS WE'LL FIND OUT NEXT MONTH. 
          OH, SHOW UP. 
          WE, WE MAY NOT KNOW TIL CAROL IS 
          [01:40:01]
BEING RE REAPPOINTED. 
          WE KNOW THAT. 
          OKAY. 
          THAT'S, YEAH, THAT WAS, THAT WAS MY HIDDEN QUESTION. 
          , THANK YOU. 
          CAROL IS BEING REAPPOINTED WAS GONNA ASK BEING REAPPOINTED IN CONTINUING THE CHAIR. 
          AND THAT'S NOT TO NEGATE ANYBODY ELSE WHO MIGHT WANT TO DO IT, BUT I THINK YOU ALWAYS ASK THE INCUMBENT IF THEY'VE, UNLESS THEY'VE BEEN A RASCAL , I HAVEN'T SEEN ANY RASCALLY BE BEHAVIOR FROM HER. 
          I DON'T KNOW. 
          YOU DON'T KNOW CAROL VERY WELL? NO. 
          EASY. 
          WELL, AS FAR AS THIS POSITION GOES, SHE'S ALREADY ALREADY APPOINTED SOMEBODY. 
          SHE, SHE WAS GONNA SEND ME THE NAME. 
          SHE TOLD ME THAT SHE NEVER DID. 
          SO, BUT, BUT, BUT, SO WELL HOPEFULLY WE WILL HAVE A COUPLE OF NEW MEMBERS NEXT MONTH AND, UH, IF ANYBODY HAS YES. 
          OKAY. 
          FUTURE AGENDA ITEMS. WE'RE HAVING ANN, WE'RE HAVING MANDY PIPPEN GARLAND HEALTH DIRECTOR, UH, FOR SEPTEMBER MEETING. 
          I'LL JUST VERIFY. 
          SHE HAD ALREADY SAID YOU'LL CHECK CARE OF IT. 
          YEAH. 
          OKAY. 
          THANK YOU. 
          BECAUSE I HAD SENT HER, WELL NO, I ASKED YOU TO SEND IT. 
          YEAH, YOU SENT IT SO FAR WE, IT'S ABSOLUTELY YES. 
          OKAY. 
          BECAUSE SHE WAS VERY EXCITED ABOUT IT. 
          ALL RIGHT. 
          AND AS I MENTIONED, OCTOBER WE HAVE THE ELECTIONS AND WE'RE GONNA HAVE SOMEBODY FROM SENIOR SOURCE, JESSIE, THAT'S AN OUTSIDE ORGANIZATION. 
          OKAY. 
          PERSONALLY I'D LIKE TO HEAR FROM THE IT OR WHOEVER KNOWS ABOUT AI AND SECURITY FOR ALL THE DEPARTMENTS. 
          I DON'T KNOW ABOUT ANYBODY ELSE BUT THIS, THIS IS WORRYING ME. 
          MM-HMM . 
          SO I'D LIKE TO KNOW WHAT GARLAND IS DOING TO BE PROACTIVE. 
          THAT WOULD BE GOOD. 
          I DON'T KNOW WHO THAT'D BE, JESSE. 
          I DUNNO IF IT'D BE THE ID DEPARTMENT OR I JUST DON'T KNOW. 
          AND THERE'S A SPELLING ERROR IN THAT. 
          IT PROBABLY WOULD BE SOMEONE FROM IT, BUT I WILL, UH, FIND OUT. 
          THE SENIOR DOESN'T SAY OR IS THAT HOW IT'S SENIOR SOURCED BE SPELLED? IT'S UP. 
          SO I'LL CHECK ON THAT AND I'LL LET YOU GUYS KNOW BY NEXT MEETING. 
          UM, YES MA'AM. 
          ARE ARE YOU READY FOR NEW BUSINESS? NOT MOVE. 
          POSSIBLY . 
          WE SHOULD HAVE NEW I DID WANT YOU TO ADJOURN. 
          WE SHOULD HAVE NEW BUSINESS. 
          UM, IT'S NOT AN OPTION, BUT YEAH. 
          IN YOUR FUTURE AGENDA ITEMS WE MIGHT WANT. 
          AH, OKAY. 
          YOU WANNA DECIDE ON A CASE? CASE OR YOU SAY THAT AGAIN? YOU WANNA HAVE FOR PROFIT. 
          FOR PROFIT, FOR NON-PROFIT. 
          OKAY. 
          YES, PETER. 
          AH, WHAT DO WE WANT? WELL, I GUESS SINCE I BROUGHT JOHN THE LAWYER, I SUGGESTED HIM. 
          JOHN DEFINITELY HAS A PRACTICE AND WOULD LOVE IT IF, IF SOME BUSINESS CAME FROM IT. 
          BUT I, I CAUTIONED HIM AND, AND HE KNEW, HE'S VERY, VERY ETHICAL AS I'VE TOLD YOU THAT HE WAS TO TALK ABOUT THE TOPIC, NOT THE THING. 
          AND THEN WE LEARNED THAT WE REALLY SHOULDN'T HAVE SOMEBODY OUT OF THE GARLAND THING. 
          ALTHOUGH I THOUGHT IT WAS REALLY, I THOUGHT WE ENJOYED IT AND LEARNED THAT'S GOOD. 
          BUT, UH, I'M OKAY HAVING FOR-PROFIT PEOPLE AS LONG AS THEY KNOW THEY SHOULD NOT DO A CONFLICT OF INTEREST IN THE MEETING. 
          THEY SHOULD NOT DISCUSS HOW THEY CAN GET MONEY FROM TALKING TO US OR ANYBODY ELSE. 
          THEY SHOULD PRESENT, THEY COULD PRESENT A TOPIC BUT NOT SOLICIT FROM YEAH. 
          I JUST THINK THEY SHOULD BE GIVING KNOWLEDGE ON THEIR, YOU KNOW, WHATEVER SUBJECT MATTER THAT THEY'RE EXPERT ON. 
          JUST GIVE THAT INFORMATION AND NOT SOLICITING YES. 
          TRYING TO GET CLIENTS OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT AND ENSURE IT IS DIRECTED TO THE SENIORS. 
          FOR SURE. 
          I I THINK WE'VE HAD SEVERAL PEOPLE IN HERE THAT HAS DONE THAT, BUT, AND THEY NEVER SOLICIT BECAUSE VIS VIS I THAT'S A YEAH, THEY, THEY, THAT'S A COMPANY AND HE NEVER ONCE SAID THAT HE'S A COMPANY. 
          YOU KNOW, HIS INFORMATION WAS VERY, AND HE DOES GET A LOT OF TAX FUNDS AND DIFFERENT GRANTS, BUT YES, HE, HE'S HUSTLING THOSE GRANTS AND THEY CAN COME FROM, THEY COULD COME FROM A PROFIT SOURCE. 
          UM, I I THINK THE MORE INFORMATION WE GET, THE BETTER I DO TOO. 
          AND WHAT I WAS ALLUDING TO IS THAT WE'VE 
          [01:45:01]
LEARNED THAT IN THE SENIORS IN THE KNOW CAN'T BE ANYTHING. 
          NOT IN THE CITY OF GARLAND, NOT SPECIFIC TO CITY THINGS THAT CAROL GOT THAT INFORMATION. 
          'CAUSE YOU KNOW, I THEN PUT ABOUT THE LAW STUFF IN THERE AND WE THE TELL ME, IS IT AJ TELL ME THAT WHO APPROVES THE AJ COLE RAY? YEAH. 
          OR OKAY. 
          TOLD US THAT IT HAS TO BE ABOUT THE CITY OF GARLAND, WHICH, UM, OKAY. 
          AT SOME POINT WE MAY RUN, RUN OUT OF THINGS TO SAY WE'LL RERUN SOMETHING OR WHATEVER THEN BECAUSE, BUT MAYBE NOT. 
          BUT ANYWAY, WE CAN'T PUT IN THE SENIORS IN THE KNOW ANYTHING THAT'S NOT RELATED TO THE CITY OF GARLAND. 
          BUT FOR SPEAKERS HERE, I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE ANYBODY WHO WANTS TO SHARE SENIOR INFORMATION MYSELF. 
          I AGREE. 
          I DO TOO. 
          I AGREE THAT WE SHOULD YOU HAVE A COMMENT? OKAY. 
          WE'LL MAKE SURE WE UNDERSTAND. 
          JESSE, IN THAT INFORMATION YOU SENT THAT WE SENT TO JOHN TO ABOUT SPEAKING, I DON'T RECALL IF IT SAYS IN THERE THAT THERE SHOULD NOT BE, UM, PEOPLE SHOULD DISCLOSE A CONFLICT OF INTEREST AND NOT, UM, SOLICIT ANYTHING. 
          I DON'T THINK IT'S IN THAT INFORMATION THING. 
          SO THERE MIGHT BE A SENTENCE ADDED TO THAT. 
          I WOULD HAVE TO LOOK AND SEE. 
          YEAH, I DON'T REMEMBER EITHER. 
          BUT IF A GOOD PRACTICE TYPICALLY IS NOT FOR THEM TO COME UP AND ADVERTISE YES. 
          THEIR SERVICES. 
          OKAY. 
          UH, REMIND YOU THAT JESSE NEEDS TO KNOW WHAT'S TO BE ON THE AGENDA THREE WEEKS OUT. 
          16TH OF JULY ON THE AGENDA. 
          PLEASE LET HIM KNOW. 
          ALSO, IF IT'S A PERSON WITHIN THE CITY, THEN I'M SUPPOSED TO CONTACT THEM. 
          OKAY. 
          YEAH. 
          SOMETIMES CONTEXT. 
          . 
          TRUE . 
          IS THERE A SUGGESTION OF WHAT? FOR FUTURE I HAVE SUGGESTED THAT WE REACH OUT TO OUR NEW COUNCIL PEOPLE AND EVEN SOME OF OUR LONGER TERM COUNCIL PEOPLE THAT HAVE NOT APPEARED BEFORE US. 
          I MADE THAT SUGGESTION AS WELL. 
          DO YOU WANNA FOLLOW UP WITH MR. CARAWAY AND SEE PERHAPS IT CAN APPEAR AND, UH, IN ANSWER TO THIS QUESTION, NO. 
          IF THERE IS NO OTHER BUSINESS YES MA'AM. 
          I'M SORRY. 
          BUSINESS, UM, UH, THE SUBCOMMITTEE, UH, AND IT SHOULDN'T REQUIRE SECOND WHEN THERE'S MORE THAN ONE PERSON ON A COMMITTEE. 
          SO THE SUBCOMMITTEE, UH, UH, UH, OR MOVES THAT THE COMMISSION APPROVE, UH, MOVING FORWARD WITH OUR PLANS, UH, FOR A SENIOR CELEBRATION IN COLLABORATION WITH THE, UH, PARKS AND RECREATION STAFF. 
          YOU'RE ASKING FOR A VOTE? Y YES. 
          YOU, I BEL I MOVE THAT WE MOVE FORWARD WITH THE PLAN DESCRIBED. 
          I SECOND. 
          I SECOND. 
          OKAY. 
          CAROLYN, IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE? UH, ALL IN FAVOR OF APPROVING OR MOVING FORWARD WITH THESE PLANS? PLEASE SAY AYE. 
          AYE. 
          ALL AGAINST. 
          AND IT'S APPROVED. 
          THEN WE WOULD LIKE TO ASK JESSE TO BE, UM, AN AGENDA ITEM UNTIL THE COMPLETION OF THE EVENT. 
          SO IF YOU'D PUT US ON THE AGENDA FOR ANY MEETINGS BETWEEN NOW AND WHEN THE OPENING HAPPENS, PUT THE SUBCOMMITTEE ON THE AGENDA AS AN ACTUAL ITEM 
          [01:50:01]
WILL DO. 
          SO WE'D HAVE UPDATE. 
          IF THERE IS NOTHING ADJOURNED, THEN WE WILL ADJOURN AT 10 50. 
          I.
