Item 12.2 CouncilAuthority Member Page 5 of 7 CC/LRA Minutes - 02/11/2025 Councilmember Uribe: So, it was very exciting to see Chantel Andalon, the Sister City committee for those that are not aware we have been working pretty diligently all of last year, the first quarter of this year to try to raise funds to send a Riverbank youth to Washington, D.C. for a Summit that's going to be in June. We had an application process sent to all four schools, and I'd like to appreciate Chantel. / know she had another commitment to take off to, but she stepped up. She did the video interview yesterday. So, we're looking to submit all of that as soon as possible to the Sister Cities International. We'll get word if she was accepted or not. They're only taking 50 students across the country. It's going to be a very cool experience for somebody here in the City of Riverbank, and / think she's going to represent us very well. I'd also like to thank Michael for the event this past weekend with My Little one and Me. It was an amazing event. / almost got Cody to do the gangnam style, SO I"II get him next year, SO keep doing that event Michael. Councilmember Pimente!: This Saturday at the Sports Bar 108. They're having comedy night. It's $15 a ticket. So, ify you want to come out and have a good laugh, it's fora good cause. Come on out. Councimember Call: On the 29th of January, right after our last meeting, / had the opportunity to attend the StanCOG workshop. Stanislaus Council of Governments, which is our Metro Planning Organization, Regional Transit Authority and Local Transportation in Stanislaus County. It was an overview of the processes on projects start to finish. When we ask why everything takes SO long? We went over all of that. And then, finding the funding and project prioritization. One of the big focuses going forward is going to be where we're going to find money, since we're switching a lot of vehicles to electric, gas tax is used to fix our roads. So, moving into EV we have to find a way to balance that. On the 5th / went to Project Resolve with Mayor Hernandez. And it's an organization that figures out what builds and maintains stronger relationships with law enforcement. That particular workshop we did was, "How can we reach those who are distrustful with law enforcement? We were able to identify communities within communities where we can find designated messengers to help bridge that gap. So that was really enlightening. / went to the Little One and Me just like everyone else. My son had a lot of fun, and the glow sticks were a game changer. So, kudos to you guys with those. / thought we were at a lightsaber, party. / went to the El Concilio meet the elected officials. Mayor Hernandez was there as well. Stanislaus Latino Chamber is actually hosting one as well, February 20th at Papapolloni. Vice Mayor Fosi: The Riverbank Federated Women's Group is having their next meeting February 18, 2025 at 6:30 at Scout Hall. Page 6 of 7 CC /LRA Minutes = 02/11/2025 Item 12.3 Mayor/Chair Mayor Hernandez: The point time count was on January 30th like every, year or every other year sometimes. As far as / know, we don't have the actual data yet. City Manager Garcia: Usually the data doesn't get finalized until about June, when they submit to the Department of Housing and Urban Development for the for the country. But anecdotally, Sierra House serves now as a main point of contact rather than Scout Hall like it's been every other year. It sounds like we have made more contact with folks. / think part of that is the relationship building that Sierra House does SO, thank you to Seth and everyone out there. Just to give a little bit more context to Project Resolve that came around 2021 in response to some of the unrest that we saw in the protests that we saw in 2020, and was an effort of law enforcement to connect with community and like was mentioned, build communication and trust. / was able to attend, as Riverbank feeds into Enoch's High School as well, / was able to be a judge for their Speech and Debate team. They were very impressive, the high school students. So, it was exciting to be able to attend that. 13.
