Omg!! Do you have the votes!!??? Hurrah! Best news ever!

This is great news!

that’s so awesome, Jason, so glad to hear you’re working on the sub minimum wage for disabled people

What is a fair wage?

especially with current inflation

Michael - $60,000 per year???Yeah CM Chavez, another great report on Lake St.

My minimum at AICDC is $17.00. that’s still not enough. I would like $20.00 or $40,000 a year.

The ballot for board elections is now live at https://www.midtownphillips.org/

Direct survey link: https://survey.alchemer.com/s3/6734609/18th-Ave-S-Little-Earth-Transportation-Study

They say if min wage had kept up with productivity increases, it would be anywhere between $24 & $28 per hour.

wow that’s so awesome

FYI, there is a new building project along 10th Ave S by Stewart/Andersen that is coming to the Planning Commission (I am the MPRB rep to the Planning Commission) on Thursday.

Youth employment is so important to our communities. Thank you Al! What great news

all I am so sorry, I have to step away (I am being called into a work emergency which I know sounds fake since i told you I work at a trivia company but someone no called no showed)

Al Bangoura great to have you back in town, I remember all your help with the first Midtown Festival, it was great. I hope the Theodore Worth House is working out well for your family. Joseph Spangler

so sorry!! thanks to everyone for this great meeting!

Hurrah!! Such a great report Al!!

Teen Teamworks is what I told you about last meeting!

Ok!! We are on it Al!! Something many in this neighborhood would advocate for!! Yes!!!

This is fantastic!

Do not reduce DEED money for youth jobs - talk to our state reps!

Thank you for sharing these exciting initiatives, Al! Can’t wait to learn more.

Have we misunderstood the nature of the problem that we’re trying to solve regarding encampments? (“We” is anyone working towards solutions, government or otherwise)

If you were king of the forest what would you do? What would that policy look like?

Michael you are not an outlier. Most of us on this zoom are all for a tough love approach. Harm reduction model does not work.

We are frustrated because NO ONE listens to us either!

Where is the housing need? Supportive housing with medical support to kick addiction w mental health/trauma resources? Little Lot housing outdoors.

People’s lives are at risk. Let’s just build a solution. Power to the people.

Michael Goze – You have a realistic understanding of what is going on – thank you for all your help and commitment. Joseph Spangler

How do we balance the needs of the homeless and the home owners who are dealing with their behaviors.

We should do a tour of 1800 post Chicago

Spokes of a wheel

Thank you Micheal!

Street works - there are brochures available at St Stephens Street Outreach.St Stephens also has their brochure on line.

Shelter Connect - is in the former Episcopal church downtown.

It still doesn’t solve the problem if people in camps don’t want to go to available housing.

I “call” the city in these times as well 😕

Feels like disposable lives - someone freezes to death or overdoses on a site. I tend to be tough love too Michael. I have seen unsheltered people be so violated by the violence which takes over the camp.

Not even any port a potty at the camp on 14th. Just disgraceful.
