[II) Citizen Comment Period with City Council]
RIGHT, THAT IS SEVEN. WE HAVE A QUORUM. UP NEXT, WE HAVE CITIZENS COMMENTS. THE COUNCIL WELCOMES COMMENTS FROM CITIZENS EARLY IN THE AGENDA OF CITY COUNCIL MEETINGS. THOSE WISHING TO SPEAK ARE ENCOURAGED TO SIGN IN BEFORE THE MEETING BEGINS. SPEAKERS WILL BE PROVIDED WITH AN OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK DURING THIS TIME PERIOD ON ANY AGENDA, ITEM OR ANY OTHER MATTER CONCERNING CITY BUSINESS, AND WE ASK THAT YOU PLEASE OBSERVE THE THREE MINUTE TIME LIMIT.ALL RIGHT. I HAVE ONE FORM FOR ERICA ROSA. THERE YOU ARE. MAYOR AND COUNCIL. THE HOMELESS COALITION OF HAYS COUNTY FROM SEPTEMBER 9TH THROUGH OCTOBER 10TH, OUR COALITION IS RECOGNIZING HOMELESSNESS AWARENESS MONTH UNDER THE THEME HOMELESSNESS A SITUATION, NOT AN IDENTITY. THROUGHOUT THE MONTH, WE'RE INVITING OUR COMMUNITY NOT ONLY TO LEARN MORE ABOUT HOMELESSNESS, BUT TO TAKE PART IN THE RESPONSE. WE HAVE A FLIER THAT WAS DISTRIBUTED TO YOU. ALL THAT LISTS SEVERAL UPCOMING OPPORTUNITIES TO GET INVOLVED.
THIS INCLUDES A POVERTY SIMULATION IN WIMBERLEY, OPPORTUNITIES TO SUPPORT MEALS AT SOUTHSIDE COMMUNITY CENTER, AND THEY ARE ALSO HAVING A BURGER COOK-OFF ON OCTOBER 10TH AND ARE LOOKING FOR TEAMS TO SIGN UP TO COOK BURGERS. I HOPE YOU'LL SHARE THESE EVENTS WITH YOUR COMMUNITY AND CONSIDER JOINING US AT ONE OF THEM. BUT TONIGHT, I ESPECIALLY WANT TO EXTEND THAT INVITATION TO YOU AS LEADERS OF THE CITY OF KYLE, HOMELESSNESS DOES NOT STOP AT MUNICIPAL BORDERS. SOMEONE MAY WORK IN KYLE, RECEIVE SERVICES IN SAN MARCOS, INTERACT WITH COUNTY SYSTEMS, AND SEEK HOUSING WHEREVER THEY CAN FIND SOMETHING THAT'S AFFORDABLE.
NONE OF OUR CITIES, SERVICE PROVIDERS OR COUNTY DEPARTMENTS CAN EFFECTIVELY ADDRESS HOUSING INSTABILITY ENTIRELY ON THEIR OWN. WE WOULD LOVE TO HAVE A REPRESENTATIVE FROM THE CITY OF KYLE REGULARLY PARTICIPATE IN THE HOMELESS COALITION. WE WOULD ALSO WELCOME A COUNCIL MEMBER, CITY REPRESENTATIVE OR OTHER COMMUNITY LEADER FROM KYLE WHO WANTS TO BECOME MORE DEEPLY INVOLVED, INCLUDING POTENTIALLY SERVING ON OUR BOARD. THE COALITION CAN ALSO BE A RESOURCE TO THE CITY AS WELL. WE BRING TOGETHER ORGANIZATIONS WORKING ACROSS HOMELESSNESS, HOUSING, BEHAVIORAL HEALTH, VETERANS SERVICES, FOOD ACCESS, HEALTH CARE, AND OTHER AREAS. HAVING KYLE CONSISTENTLY REPRESENTED WOULD HELP US BETTER UNDERSTAND WHAT IS HAPPENING HERE AND ENSURE KYLE IS PART OF BROADER CONVERSATION ABOUT HAYS COUNTY, HOW HAYS COUNTY RESPONDS. I ALSO RECOGNIZE THAT TONIGHT YOU ARE SCHEDULED TO TAKE FINAL ACTION ON THE CITY'S BUDGET. THIS HAS BEEN A CHALLENGING BUDGET CYCLE, WITH COUNCIL MAKING DIFFICULT DECISIONS ABOUT COMPETING NEEDS AND LIMITED RESOURCES. I'M NOT HERE TONIGHT TO ASK YOU TO ADD ANOTHER LINE ITEM TO THAT BUDGET. I AM ASKING THAT KYLE, THAT AS KYLE MAKES FUTURE DECISIONS ABOUT HOW PUBLIC RESOURCES ARE INVESTED, HOUSING STABILITY HAS A SEAT AT THE TABLE, AND THAT KYLE HAS A SEAT AT THE TABLE WHERE THE REGIONAL RESPONSE IS BEING DEVELOPED. SOMETIMES THE FIRST INVESTMENT ISN'T MONEY. IT'S PARTICIPATION.
IT'S SHARING INFORMATION. IT'S IDENTIFYING WHERE EXISTING RESOURCES CAN WORK TOGETHER INSTEAD OF SEPARATELY. HOMELESSNESS AWARENESS MONTH GIVES US AN OPPORTUNITY TO BEGIN THAT CONVERSATION. SO I INVITE EACH OF YOU TO ATTEND ONE OF OUR COALITION MEETINGS, PARTICIPATE IN ONE OF THIS MONTH'S EVENTS, OR TALK WITH US AFTERWARDS ABOUT HOW THE CITY OF KYLE CAN BECOME MORE CONSISTENTLY CONNECTED TO THIS WORK. THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE TO KYLE AND FOR ALLOWING US TO RECOGNIZE HOMELESSNESS AWARENESS MONTH WITH YOU TONIGHT. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. I HAVE NO MORE FORMS. WOULD ANYBODY ELSE LIKE TO COME
