BUT WHAT IS CSRA COMPANY? C-S-C-S-R-S IS THE COMPANY FOR THE ENGINEERING FIRM THAT'S HELPED US WITH THE I OSTEO, I'M SORRY.
CSRS IS THE COMPANY FIRM THAT'S HELPED US WITH, UH, A COUPLE OF DIFFERENT PROJECTS.
THEY HANDLE THE HAZMAT
AND THEN THEY'VE ALSO ASSISTED US WITH THE, UH, RECOVERY.
ALSO, UH, BOTH, BOTH WEEKS WERE COMPANY HALINA.
KALINA WAS THE, UH, INDIVIDUAL THAT WE HIRED, THE GROUP THAT WE HIRED TO HELP WITH THE CLEARING THE SHANKS LAKE PROPERTY AND ALSO THE DITCH BEHIND THE HOTEL.
THAT'S, THAT'S ALL I GOT ON THAT, UH, ON PART WILL, REAL QUICK.
ARE THESE THE FINAL NUMBER IN THIS REPORT ON THE SHEET, SIR? YES, SIR.
SO HOW DO WE DO? IT WAS A TOUGH YEAR.
HOW, HOW LONG HAS THAT BEEN GOING ON? PROBABLY 4, 7, 28 YEARS.
WE, YOU KNOW, WE MISSED 2020 AND 2024.
I, I JUST, I KNEW IT A PRETTY ROUGH, WE HAD A TROPICAL STORM.
IT WAS, IT WAS A TOUGH YEAR THIS YEAR.
UH, WE DO, WE, I'M NOT SAYING DO AWAY WITH IT, BUT MAYBE REVAMP IT A LITTLE BIT.
WE'RE HERE TO THAT'S YOUR PLEASURE.
WHATEVER Y'ALL WOULD LIKE US TO DO, WE CAN DEFINITELY DISCUSS IT.

SO ANY DIRECTION WE'RE WILLING TO TAKE IT TO.
I MEAN, HAS IT BEEN HEAVILY DECLINING? NO, SIR.
HONESTLY, THE LAST SEVERAL YEARS WE WOUND UP IN THE BLACK.
UH, THIS WAS, WELL I REALIZED, I REALIZED THE THURSDAY NIGHT WAS, IT WAS, IT WAS A TOUGH YEAR FOR US.
I KNEW, I KNEW SATURDAY NIGHT WAS TERRIBLE.
WHAT ATTENDANCE WAS DOWN ALL THE WAY AROUND.
HONESTLY, THE, THE BIGGEST EVENT AND MOST WELL ATTENDED WAS THE 5K ON SATURDAY MORNING WITH HAD MORE RUNNERS THAN WE'VE HAD IN THE LAST SEVERAL YEARS.
IT WAS BECAUSE THE MAYOR IS OUT THERE
I MEAN, THERE'S NO OTHER WAY AROUND IT.
THAT'S, THAT'S ALL I NEED DONE.
YOU ANY OTHER, ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS, COMMENTS, HAVE MOTION APPROVAL
[VI. BUSINESS ITEMS]
ITEMS FOR THE NATIONAL NIGHT OUT, THE[00:15:09]
NATIONAL NIGHT NOW THEREFORE I OFFICER NIGHT TO GIVE US A THANK YOU MAYOR COUNCIL.COUNCILMAN, GOOD TO SEE YOU AGAIN.
WHILE HARD TO BELIEVE IT'S BEEN A YEAR SINCE I WAS HERE LAST TO GIVE YOU AN UPDATE.
SO I'LL TRY TO MAKE IT BRIEF AND BRILLIANT, IF NOT BRILLIANT.
UH, AS ALWAYS, WE APPRECIATE THE OPPORTUNITY TO WORK FOR THE CITY AND TONIGHT WE'VE GOT A LITTLE OVERVIEW OF OUR DELINQUENT TAX COLLECTIONS AND ALSO OUR COURT FINE FEE COLLECTIONS FOR THE CITY.
SO WE'RE DEALING WITH $215,000 OF BASED TAX FOR ALL YEARS THROUGH 2025 WHEN WE PREPARED THIS FOR YOU JUST A FEW DAYS AGO.
UM, AND THIS GIVES YOU A BREAKDOWN TO THE MONEY THAT'S OWED, HOW WE SORT OF HAVE IT CATEGORIZED, AND THEN THE ACTIONS THAT WE'RE TAKING AND TRIED TO COLLECT.
SO THE LARGEST SINGLE CATEGORY, ROUGHLY 50% IS WHAT WE LABELED ACTION THAT BASICALLY ARE THE NEW ACCOUNTS THAT GET TURNED OVER TO US IN JULY.
THE LARGEST SINGLE TAXPAYER IN THE CITY OWNS FIVE PROPERTIES AND OWES YOU ROUGHLY $15,000 IN BASE TAX.
NEEDLESS TO SAY, WE'VE ALREADY BEEN IN COMMUNICATION WITH THEM TRYING TO GET A COMMITMENT TO PAY IF THEY PAY RIGHT.
IF THEY DON'T, WE'RE GONNA FILE A LAWSUIT TO COLLECT THAT.
MANY OF THE OTHER ACCOUNTS, UH, ARE UNDER $7,000 AND THEN THEY GO DOWN TO A FEW HUNDRED DOLLARS.
EVERYBODY GOT A LETTER BACK IN JULY, WE SAID 10,000 LETTERS COUNTYWIDE, PEOPLE THAT OWED TAXES.
UH, AND WE'VE ALREADY STARTED OUR CALLING CAMPAIGN.
SO ON EVERY, EVERY ACCOUNT THAT WE ULTIMATELY FILEDS, WE'RE COMFORTABLE THAT WE'VE DONE EVERYTHING WE CAN TO GET SOMEBODY TO VOLUNTARILY PAY.
IF THEY'RE NOT ABLE TO, NOT ABLE TO PAY OR WE CAN'T MAKE AN AGREEMENT, YOU FILE A SUIT.
YOU'LL NOTICE WE HAVE 24% OF YOUR MONEY IN LITIGATION.
THOSE ARE LAWSUITS THAT YOU FILED.
UH, AND WITHIN THAT CATEGORY WE HAVE PEOPLE THAT HAVE NOW MADE AGREEMENTS TO PAY JUDGEMENTS THAT WE'VE TAKEN AND PROPERTIES THAT WE'RE GONNA GET SCHEDULED FOR SALE, THEY'RE NOT ABLE TO FOLLOW THROUGH AND PAY THE TAXES.
THE LAST COLUMN I'LL POINT OUT FOR YOU IS OUR DEFERRALS.
SO 31,000 OF YOUR MONEY INVOLVES PEOPLE THAT ARE OVER 65.
AND BY LAW THEY'VE TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF THAT LAW AND ARE DEFERRING PAY THEIR TAXES.
IF THEY SELL THE PROPERTY PASS AWAY, THEN THEIR, THEIR FAMILY HAS A PERIOD OF TIME TO PAY, UH, BEFORE ADDITIONAL PENALTIES AND INTEREST ADD BACK UP.
AND SO WE BASICALLY JUST MONITOR THOSE ACCOUNTS.
WE DON'T CALL THOSE PEOPLE, WE DON'T WRITE THOSE PEOPLE, WE DON'T DO ANYTHING OTHER THAN MAKE SURE THAT THE DEFERRAL IS PROPERLY IN PLACE.
SO THIS GETS YOU A BREAKDOWN OF THE MONEY.
HOW IS IT BROKEN DOWN BY TAX? YOU CAN SEE OVER 50% OF THE MONEY IS 2050.
IS 2025 HERE, THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE LOOKING FOR.
IF I'M ON COUNSEL, I'M LOOKING OR MY MALIGNANCIES REALLY OLD OR ARE THEY RELATIVELY NEW? SO THE NEWER, THE MORE COLLECTIBLE YOU'LL SEE BETWEEN 25 AND 24, WE'VE GOT ALMOST 70% OF YOUR MONEY.
MUCH MORE LIKELY WHEN WE GET BACK INTO THOSE OLD 2018 PRIOR.
SOME OF THOSE INVOLVE ACCOUNTS THAT HAVE OVER 65 PEARLS, UH, BUSINESSES THAT ARE NO LONGER IN BUSINESS IF WE'RE NOT GONNA COLLECT IT JUST GETS HARDER OVER TIME.
SO YOU NEVER REALLY DO ANYBODY A FAVOR BY JUST LETTING THE TAXES SIT THERE AND NOT WORK ON EACH YEAR.
WHEN I COME TO VISIT WITH YOU, WE GIVE YOU A HISTORICAL COLLECTION FOR SEVERAL DIFFERENT TAX.
BY WAY OF EXAMPLE, FOR THE 2021 TAX YEAR, WHICH WE STARTED JULY 1ST, 2022, YOU HAD COLLECTED, THE TAX OFFICE HAD COLLECTED FOR YOU ROUGHLY 97, 90 8% OF YOUR CURRENT TAX THAT YOU LIVE.
THERE WAS ONLY $103,000 UNPAID.
[00:20:01]
AND PART OF THE FIFTH CYCLE OF THE COLLECTION OF THAT YEAR, WE'VE NOW RESOLVED 93% OF THAT HUNDRED 3000.SO WE'RE MAKING GOOD PROGRESS IN GETTING THE MONEY INTO THE CITY COLLEGE.
THE SAME CONCEPT GOES FORWARD, UH, FOR 23 AND 24.
SO 24 IS THE LAST FULL YEAR OF NOTE, THE AMOUNT THAT WAS OUTSTANDING FOR US TO COLLECT INCREASE BETWEEN 2021 AND 2024 TO 129,000 IS STILL NOT A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF MONEY.
WHEN YOU CONSIDER THAT YOU HAVE BEEN ADDING NEW VALUE IN YOUR TAXES TO YOUR, UH, TAXABLE WHICH YEAR.
AND IN THE FIRST COLLECTION CYCLE THAT COMPLETED, UH, JULY JUNE 30TH, 2026, WE COLLECTED 74% OF THAT 29TH.
AND THEN THROUGH THROUGH AUGUST WE'RE AT 76.5%.
SO YOU'LL SEE THAT THE AMOUNT TURNED OVER TO US BACK IN JULY INCREASED TO 164,000.
AGAIN, WHEN YOU CONSIDER THE PROPORTION TO THE TAXES, YOU LEVI IN IT'S, IT DIDN'T SET UP ANY ALARMS FOR ME.
AND MAYBE YOU, OH, I GOT, WE WE HAVE AN ISSUE GOING ON.
AND YOU'LL NOTE THAT IN THE FIRST TWO MONTHS, JULY AND AUGUST, WE'VE ALREADY COLLECTED ALMOST 31% OF THAT 1 64.
SO I FEEL LIKE WE'RE REALLY ON TRACK, UH, TO GET THE MONEY IN ON THE SAME PERCENTAGE BASIS THAT WE HAVE IN ALL THE PRIOR YEARS.
THE OTHER THING I WOULD POINT OUT FOR YOU AND FOR THOSE OF YOU THAT ARE INTERESTED IN PROPERTY, INCLUDE IF YOU GO TO OUR WEBSITE@WWW.PCM.COM, SCROLL DOWN TO JOIN OUR MAILING LIST.
YOU CAN SIGN UP NO COST AND WE WILL SEND YOU AN EMAIL BLAST EVERY WEEK.
IT USED TO BE AT 4:00 AM ON FRIDAYS.
NOW IT COMES ABOUT 6:00 AM I THINK THE COMPUTERS GET A LITTLE TIRED AND IT GIVES A LIST OF EVERYTHING WE'RE SELLING EACH MONTH IN BRA COUNTY.
SO WHETHER IT'S INCLUDED FOR OTHER PARTS OF THE COUNTY, YOU CAN SEE WHAT WE HAVE BILL.
AND THEN THE EVERY SALE IN TEXAS OF DRILL PROPERTY OCCURS ON TUESDAY BETWEEN THE HOURS OF 10 AND FOUR AT THE COURTHOUSE.
SO THE DAY AFTER THE SALE, WE POSTED ALL OUR RESULTS ON OUR WEBSITE.
SO YOU CAN SEE IF THERE WAS PROPERTY INCLUDED IN ITSELF.
I SAY ALL THAT TO, TO CIRCLE AROUND TO ONE THING I'D LIKE TO COMMENT ON.
IT WAS ABOUT A YEAR OR SO AGO THAT WE HAD A FORECLOSURE ON A PIECE OF PROPERTY.
IT WAS ON MAIN STREET AND IT WAS, UH, A PROPERTY THAT THE PEOPLE THAT OWNED IT AT THE TIME HAD BORROWED A LOT OF MONEY FROM A TAX AND TRANSFER COMPANY.
SO THE TAXES AND THE VALUE WERE A LITTLE BIT OUT OF WHACK BECAUSE THEY HAD BORROWED A LOT OF MONEY.
NOT SURPRISINGLY, IF THE TAX SALE, NOBODY WANTED TO BID ON IT.
SO THE TERM IS THE PROPERTY WAS STRUCK OFF TO THE CITY.
WE CO-OWNED IT WITH THE OTHER TAX AUTHORITY AND OUR JOB IS TO TRY AND GET IT BACK ON THE TAX BECAUSE IT'S NOT DOING ANYBODY ANY GOOD.
WELL, IT SO HAPPENS THIS PROPERTY ALSO DIS REPAIRED.
A COUPLE YEARS AGO THE CITY HAD FILED LIENS, UH, FOR I THINK WE WERE SOME MOWING THEY HAD FILED.
AND THEN SUBSEQUENT TO US TAKING THE JUDGMENT AND FORECLOSING ON THE PROPERTY, THE CITY DEMOLISHED IT AND YOU FILED A LIEN.
AND SO WORKING WITH CJ, WE, WE CAME TO YOU, WE PUT AN ITEM ON YOUR AGENDA A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO AND ASKED Y'ALL TO APPROVE IT.
PUBLIC RESALE OF THAT PROPERTY WHERE WE SET A MINIMUM BID AND I THINK THE MINIMUM BID IS SEVEN WAS 50,000 BUCKS.
AND Y'ALL AUTHORIZED US TO TRY TO SELL THE PROPERTY WITH THAT.
AND IN, IN AUGUST WE HELD THAT SALE, WE SOLD IT FOR THE $50,000.
THE CITY HAS BEEN ABLE TO RECOUP THE DEMOLITION LIE OF ROUGHLY $10,000.
UH, AND NOW THE PROPERTY IS BACK ON THE TAX ROLL.
UH, THE PERSON THAT BOUGHT IT, IT HAS ALREADY BEEN TO TALK TO THE CITY ABOUT TRYING TO SEE WHAT KIND OF DEVELOPMENT SHE MIGHT BE ABLE TO DO WITH IT.
SO THAT WAS A REALLY GOOD SUCCESS STORY WHEN SOMETIMES THE PROPERTIES, THE OWNERS ARE JUST NOT ABLE TO PAY THE TAX, UH, FOR WHATEVER REASON.
COULD HAVE BEEN DEBT, COULD HAVE JUST DON'T HAVE THE MONEY, DON'T HAVE THE INTEREST IN THE PROPERTY.
BUT GETTING THAT BACK ON THE TAX ROLL ROLE WOULD REALLY GOOD ONE.
I JUST WANTED TO MENTION THAT TO YOU.
THANK YOU ALL FOR AUTHORIZING US TO DO THAT.
THAT RESALE I'D BE HA I'M GONNA STOP RIGHT HERE REAL QUICKLY TO JUST ASK IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ON THE TAX PORTION OF OUR COLLECTION.
ONE REAL QUICK QUESTION, WHAT IS UNCOLLECTABLE? SO UNCOLLECTABLE IS GENERALLY, IT IS A, A BUSINESS THAT WAS HERE ON JANUARY ONE OF A PARTICULAR TAX YEAR.
BY THE TIME WE GOT AROUND TO TRY AND COLLECT IF THEY WERE OUT OF BUSINESS OR WE MAY HAVE SUED THEM, GOTTEN A JUDGMENT, BUT THEY HAD NO ASSETS WE COULD TAKE, UH, TO SATISFY THE TAXES.
AND SOME OF THOSE ARE ALSO CAN BE MOBILE HOMES THAT, UH, WERE HERE GONE OR DESTROYED AND WE'RE JUST NOT ABLE TO PUT IT BY LAW.
ONCE THOSE, UH, PERSONAL PROPERTY TAXES ARE 10 YEARS OLD, YOU'RE ALLOWED TO REMOVE THEM
[00:25:01]
FROM THE TAX FORM.SO EACH YEAR, THE TAX OFFICE IN, IN OUR OFFICE GO THROUGH AND IDENTIFY THOSE ACCOUNTS AND CLEAN THEM OFF.
LET ME GO QUICKLY TO THE COURT FINDING KEY PART OF OUR COURT.
FIRST LET ME THANK JUDGE SMITH FOR, UH, WE APPRECIATE WORKING WITH THIS COURT.
WE'VE WORKED WITH Y'ALL FOR MANY YEARS ON IT.
OVER THE HISTORY OF THE CONTRACT, UH, THE CITY HAS TURNED OVER $6 MILLION TO US TO TRY TO COLLECT.
YOU HAVE, UH, WE HAVE COLLECTED WORKING WITH THE COURT ALMOST 2.5 MILLION IN ACTUAL CASH AND PAYMENTS RESOLVED.
THE DISMISS CLEARED ARE SITUATIONS WHERE PEOPLE HAVE COME TO THE COURT, PRESENTED INFORMATION TO SATISFY THE COURT.
THEY DIDN'T HAVE THE FINANCIAL ABILITY TO PAY OF THE LAW, UH, SPENT TIME IN JAIL, DID COMMUNITY SERVICE, DID SOME TYPE OF A RESOLUTION THAT DIDN'T INVOLVE IN PAYING THE BALANCE THAT YOU HAVE IS PHENOMENAL WHERE IT'S PREDOMINANTLY PAYMENT VERSUS DISMISSAL.
AND THAT'S NOT TO SAY JUDGE SUE DOESN'T WORK WITH DEFENDANT.
HE DOES, HE DOES A TREMENDOUS JOB OF GIVING PEOPLE THE OPPORTUNITY TO PAY.
BUT YOU KNOW, THAT'S REVENUE THAT Y'ALL NEEDING TO SEE IF YOU CAN COLLECT.
AND SO HISTORICALLY THAT'S WHAT WE'VE DONE WITH AN AGGREGATE RESOLUTION RATE OF JUST UNDER 70%.
YOU CAN SEE HOW MANY ADDRESSES WE'VE COLLECTED, LETTERS THAT WE'VE MAILED, PHONE NUMBERS, WE'VE CHANGED PHONE CONTACTS AND THEN TEXTING.
YOU MAY RECALL LAST YEAR I MENTIONED YOU THAT WE'RE KICKING OFF OUR TEXTING PROGRAM.
UH, SO OF ALMOST 30,000 TEXTS THAT WE HAD SENT OUT, TRYING TO DRIVE PEOPLE TO THE COURT TO GET THEM TO RE RESOLVE THEIR ACCOUNTS.
AS YOU KNOW, PURDUE, BRANDON DOESN'T SOLVE, DOESN'T SETTLE CASES IN THIS ARENA.
OUR JOB IS TO DRIVE THEM IN THE COURT, BUT THE COURT DECIDE HOW THEY WANNA DEAL WITH PEOPLE.
HERE'S A QUICK LITTLE MAP, UH, GIVING YOU AN IDEA OF TOP 10 ACCOUNT BY ZIP CODE WITHIN, UH, THEY'RE OWED TO THE CITY.
I CAN SEE THE FIRST 1, 6, 7, 5, 3, 1 HAVE ROUGHLY 200 ACCOUNTS.
LITTLE OVER $132,000 IN MONEY.
SAME CONCEPT WITH BAD ADDRESSES.
WE SPEND A LOT OF TIME AND RESOURCES TRYING TO GET A GOOD ADDRESS AND GET SOMEBODY TO REACH OUT TO COME IN AND TAKE CARE OF THEIR VIOLATIONS.
AND FINALLY, THE ONE THAT I LIKE THE MOST, I'LL SHOW YOU EACH YEAR IS DEPENDS ON THE MAP.
EVERY ONE OF THOSE REPRESENTS SOME OF YOU THAT CAME THROUGH THE CITY LIMITS, GOT A TICKET, STILL OWES YOU UP.
SO ALL OVER, OBVIOUSLY THE BULK IS IN TEXAS, BUT YOU CAN SEE THEY'RE, THEY'RE FROM ALL OVER.
IT SORT OF SHOWS YOU WHAT THE INHERENT CHALLENGE IS IN THE COLLECTION OF THESE TYPE OF DEBTS.
YOU CAN'T JUSTIFY FLYING TO ANY ONE OF THOSE CITIES STANDS TO ARREST SOMEBODY FOR $300 OR 500 VIOLATION AND BRING IT BACK INCLUDED, YOU KNOW, JUST DOESN'T THE BACK.
BUT THIS GIVES YOU A SENSE OF WHAT IT'S THAT, THAT WE'RE DOING.
UM, SO WITH THAT, I'D BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS ON THE FINAL FEW PORTION OF OUR QUESTION.
WHAT TIME DID YOU SAY THIS IS BASED ON? THAT'S HISTORICAL.
SO THAT'S FROM WHEN WE FIRST STARTED UH, WORKING FOR THE CITY.
I DON'T THE EXACT YEAR LONG IT'S BEEN SEVERAL YEARS.
IT'S BEEN A WHILE BEFORE GRAY HAIR YOU DON'T LIKE TALK ABOUT PROBABLY NOT QUITE 20 YEARS CLOSE.
IT WOULD BE RESOLUTION NUMBER 51 20 26 RESOLUTION OF CITY COUNCIL OF CITY TEXAS.
THE RENEWAL OF CONTRACT WHERE THE CITY
[00:30:01]
TEXAS WILL REALIZE THAT WHERE THE CITY RESPONSIBILITY THEREFORE RESOLUTION THAT SECOND, SECOND, SECOND DISCUSSION.BUT I TWO ON WHAT PERCENTAGE? SURE.
UH, SO, UH, Y'ALL HAD PREVIOUSLY SEVERAL YEARS AGO ADOPTED A 20% COLLECTION PENALTY THAT PAYS FOR OUR SERVICE.
SO IT COSTS YOU NOTHING FOR US TO DO IT.
YOU GET ALL THE BASE TAX, ALL THE STATUTORY PENALTY AND INTEREST THAT GO DELINQUENT BY 20% COLLECTION FEE.
YOUR COLLECTION PENALTY IS ADDED ON PAID BY THE DELINQUENT TAXPAYER TO US FOR OUR SERVICE.
I WOULD LIKE I ANOTHER THAT YOU APPRECIATE IT, APPRECIATE THE OPPORTUNITY.
HAVE A GOOD, THAT WOULD BE CONSIDERATION RESOLUTION.
HAVE A SECOND GENERAL DISCUSSION.
I KNOW THERE'S NO CRYSTAL LAW.
HAVE WE SOLD ANY BEFORE? WELL, WE JUST HAD ONE ON THERE AND THAT WAS, IT'S BEEN PARTED OUT AS MUCH AS IT COULD BE PARTED OUT AND IT DID SELL HERE WITHIN THE PAST WEEK.
UH, I, IT, UH, 600 SOMETHING DOLLARS IS WHAT IT SOLD FOR.
[00:35:01]
IT.IT COULD HAVE BEEN PROBABLY SCRAPPED AND, AND MADE MORE.
HONESTLY WHAT I KNOW WE SAID ON DEALS, DEAL DEALS DO COM IT WAS ONE THAT WAS, I MEAN, IT IT WAS, IT WAS TOTALLY ON.
I MEAN IT WAS, IT WAS BEEN USEFUL PARTS.
IT WAS FAIR TIME TO ASK THAT QUESTION AND I KNOW THERE'S NO WAY OF KNOWING.
WE DON'T HAVE TO MOVE THEM THOUGH OR ANYTHING.
WE BASICALLY KNOW THEY HAVE TO PICKLE, THEY HAVE TO COME GET 'EM AND CALL ALONG THE LABOR BACK HERE.
BUT I GUESS RESOLUTION, FEES, THE BENEFIT NOW, THEREFORE, COUNCIL, ALL I'M TRYING TO DO IS THE BENEFIT FOR MIKE PATE.
I'VE KNOWN MIKE SINCE WE WENT TO SCHOOL TOGETHER.
UH, HE'S BEEN THE ASSISTANT JUDGE INCLUDE, I'M THINKING SOMEWHERE AROUND 14 YEARS MAYBE.
UH, HE RESIGNED A COUPLE YEARS AGO BECAUSE OF HIS CANCER.
HE DIDN'T FEEL LIKE HE COULD LOSE THE JOB BACK AND FORTH TO THE HOSPITAL ALL THE TIME.
UH, AND NOW HE'S FIXING TO GO THROUGH A MICROSURGERY.
HE'S PROBABLY GONNA BE LATE UP IN THE HOSPITAL FOR ABOUT FOUR, FIVE DAYS.
UH, THEY'RE TALKING EIGHT TO 10 WEEKS TO HEAL UP AND THEY DON'T KNOW IF THEY CAN DO THE SURGERY YET 'CAUSE THEY DON'T EVEN KNOW IF HIS HEART WILL TAKE IT.
SO HE'S GOTTA GO SEE SOME CARDIOLOGISTS, UH, TRYING TO DO SOMETHING TO HELP HIM OUT.
I'VE BEEN DOING BENEFITS TO PEOPLE FOR 35 YEARS AND UH, I ALWAYS TRIED TO ORGANIZE THESE AND GET 'EM TOGETHER.
WE'VE HAD 'EM ALL DIFFERENT PLACES, BUT I WANT HIM TO HAVE THIS IN HERE AND INCLUDE, HE'S FROM FLU, HE'S LIVED INCLUDED HIS WHOLE LIFE.
HIS KIDS GREW UP HERE IN HERE IN, SO I DIDN'T WANT TO TRY TO GO SOMEWHERE ELSE.
I'M ASKING COUNCIL IF THEY WOULD CONSIDER WAIVING THE FEES, IF NOT WAIVE THE FEES, MAKE IT REDUCE THE FEES.
IT'S SCHEDULED FOR NOVEMBER 15TH.
AND UH, YOU'VE HAD A VERY GOOD RESPONSE OF PEOPLE DONATING STUFF
