Aldensey. Aye. Odendahl. Aye. Wilken. Aye. Sellers. Aye. Motion passed. Motion passed. 00:02:02.530 --> 00:02:35.680 Access. The next one is the discussion and approval of service provider agreement with NICA to administer the senior property assistance pilot program. I need a motion in a second, please, in order to have discussion. So move to discuss. Second. Okay. This program, guys, is a seven-month private program we're going to do for some of our senior residents, and we're starting in the third, fifth, and seventh wars because 00:02:35.680 --> 00:02:41.520 because we want to keep the program, you know, kind of small until we can work out all the kinks, okay? 00:02:41.520 --> 00:02:42.780 You said the 3rd and 7th? 00:02:42.780 --> 00:02:44.180 The 5th, 3rd and 7th Ward. 00:02:44.180 --> 00:02:47.060 Oh, 5th, 3rd, okay. 00:02:47.060 --> 00:02:48.060 We want to keep it small. 00:02:48.060 --> 00:02:55.940 We'll start with 20 seniors right now to keep the program kind of small to work out all the kinks and all that stuff. 00:02:55.940 --> 00:03:04.680 What it entails is seniors will have leaf blowing and services provided for them, 00:03:04.680 --> 00:03:14.040 Snow removal, ice removal, and in the spring they'll have their yards and stuff raked and get prepared for summer and with some mowing in the springtime. 00:03:14.600 --> 00:03:33.880 I would like to get a good grasp on the program before, well, not the program, get an understanding over these next seven months on how everything is going to work, how it's going to flow before I come to the board and ask, 00:03:33.880 --> 00:03:41.600 says, hey, can we extend it? So before any of that, this is just a pilot that we want to do for seven months. Give me your questions. 00:03:41.600 --> 00:03:55.140 I thought the program was a great idea. So we're not going to, in this program, we're probably not going to have much of any mowing because of the time. 00:03:55.140 --> 00:04:05.020 Right. They're going to be blowing leaves to the street for pickup and getting prepared for the snow and the ice. 00:04:05.020 --> 00:04:06.020 and all that stuff. 00:04:06.020 --> 00:04:11.020 And hopefully the snow doesn't fall before they can get the leaves picked up. 00:04:11.020 --> 00:04:14.020 Yeah, we don't control that one. 00:04:14.020 --> 00:04:15.020 I know. 00:04:15.020 --> 00:04:31.020 So, I would be interested in how, and I haven't thought about this myself, but in terms of how have you thought in terms of evaluating it, what do, you know, to see about taking it bigger? 00:04:31.020 --> 00:04:37.820 Were we going to look at it to say what may need to be changed, how successful it was, and all those kinds of things? 00:04:38.320 --> 00:04:48.600 NIACA is going to report back to us everything that's going on. We're going to also start looking at having a waiting list for potentially next year. 00:04:48.880 --> 00:04:56.820 So I'm going to gauge how the program is going to go based off of how many people want to sign up for in the spring, and then we'll take it from there. 00:04:56.820 --> 00:05:04.900 If we have a good number saying, hey, we want this program to continue, then we will look at continuing the program at that point in time. 00:05:06.380 --> 00:05:07.560 That sounds good. 00:05:08.340 --> 00:05:18.240 Because I don't think it would be wise of us to try and jump out and do a massive program citywide right now without having all our kinks worked out. 00:05:18.240 --> 00:05:23.200 Because we are working with NICA on this, and we're going to have two organizations that are going to be collaborating on this. 00:05:23.200 --> 00:05:29.100 So, I want to get that all worked out before we expand the program. 00:05:29.620 --> 00:05:35.540 Does NICA have, is it income driven as to who's accepted? 00:05:35.540 --> 00:05:48.540 If you look at the program, if a senior is part of the senior freeze exemption, then that would pretty much make them eligible because that's income. 00:05:48.540 --> 00:06:10.020 So that's what we're based on. Now, this is not for landlords' rental property. No. This is for homeowners. Our seniors who, I really don't want them out trying to shovel snow or rake leaves or trying to chip ice off of their sidewalks. I really don't want that. So if we can help, I think that would be good. Yes? 00:06:10.020 --> 00:06:19.860 It doesn't necessarily make any difference to us, but do you know, is NICA planning on doing this with employee staff or contract? 00:06:24.080 --> 00:06:41.520 I'm sure they're probably going to maybe contract it out. Yeah, I'm sure that's what they're going to do. I want to make sure that we have someone who's going to do it, someone who's going to be reliable. 00:06:41.520 --> 00:07:00.700 And so that's where our mind is because the last thing we want is for seniors to be calling us and calling out to say, wait, the person didn't show up and didn't move our snow. Now my husband is out, he's 80 years old trying to shovel the snow. We don't want that. So we got to make sure we have reliable people doing it. 00:07:01.700 --> 00:07:09.580 So I was thinking it might be useful at the end of the program to get some feedback from the seniors. 00:07:09.700 --> 00:07:10.100 Absolutely. 00:07:10.100 --> 00:07:36.580 Absolutely, absolutely, so what we'll have in place is toward the probably maybe like a month or a half a month before the program comes to an end, we send information to the seniors, have them fill it out and send it back to us, or we take time and go to each one of them and have them give us their written feedback, and then we bring it back to the board, and then we'll look at the feedback, and then we'll take it from there. 00:07:36.580 --> 00:07:40.440 What do you guys think? 00:07:41.020 --> 00:07:47.240 I think it's as much needed and a good idea to see if it can make it work. 00:07:47.240 --> 00:07:52.340 Okay. All right. Well, Madam Clerk, I guess please call the roll. 00:07:52.860 --> 00:07:53.500 Aldensey. 00:07:53.720 --> 00:07:53.960 Aye. 00:07:54.100 --> 00:07:54.700 Odendahl. 00:07:54.880 --> 00:07:55.160 Aye. 00:07:55.320 --> 00:07:55.760 Wilkins. 00:07:55.900 --> 00:07:56.120 Aye. 00:07:56.300 --> 00:07:56.780 Sellers. 00:07:56.960 --> 00:07:57.240 Aye. 00:07:57.420 --> 00:07:58.460 Okay.
