THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP.

FOR ADDRESSING THE NEEDS OF ALCOHOL'S LOW-INCOME COMMUNITY OVER A FIVE-YEAR PERIOD AND USING CDBG AND HOME FUNDS.

SO, UH, THE FIVE-YEAR CON CONSOLIDATED PLAN IS THE CITY'S PLAN

[00:05:01]

AND AS YOU KNOW, A ONE-YEAR ACTION PLAN IS REQUIRED FOR EACH YEAR OF THAT FIVE-YEAR PLAN.

THE ACTION PLAN IDENTIFIES THE PROJECTS AND ACTIVITIES THE CITY WILL UNDERTAKE DURING THAT YEAR TO ADDRESS THOSE GOALS AND PRIORITIES.

THE FISCAL YEAR 2122 WILL BE THE THIRD YEAR OF THE CURRENT FIVE-YEAR PLAN.

AND PROJECT SELECTED TONIGHT WILL FORM THE CORE OF THE ANNUAL ACTION PLAN.

SO IN NOTICE THE FUNDING AVAILABILITY FOR CDBG FUNDING WAS PUBLISHED AND THE APPLICATION PERIOD FOR CDBG PROJECTS AND PROGRAMS WAS AVAILABLE, UH, BETWEEN NOVEMBER 12TH, ALL THE WAY TO DECEMBER 17TH, UH, FOLLOWING THAT 12 ELIGIBLE APPLICATIONS WHERE WE SEE IT.

SO THE ACTUAL ALLOCATIONS OF CDBG AND HOME FUNDING FOR THAT, FOR THIS, UH, FOR THE UPCOMING YEAR HAVE NOT YET BEEN ANNOUNCED BY HUD HERE, YOU SEE THE HISTORICAL LEVELS OF THE CDBG FUNDING OVER THE PAST FEW YEARS, ALONG WITH THE ESTIMATED FUNDING ALLOCATIONS FOR FISCAL YEAR 21, 22, WE ARE ESTIMATING FOR 2122 CDBG FUNDING WILL BE APPROXIMATELY 1.3 MILLION AND HOME FUNDING WILL BE APPROXIMATELY 630,000.

THE ACTUAL FUNDING AMOUNTS COULD BE HIGHER OR LOWER.

AND CITY COUNCIL WILL BE ASKED TO CONSIDER WHICH PROJECTS RECEIVE ADDITIONAL OR REDUCED FUNDING.

IF THAT'S THE CASE THAT ON X-MEN PERCENTAGES, THAT MUST BE CONSIDERED WHEN ALLOCATING CDBG FUNDING, THE PLANNING AND ADMIN, THE CITY CAN ALLOCATE NO MORE THAN 20% OF THE TOTAL ANNUAL ALLOCATION FOR PUBLIC SERVICES.

THE MAXIMUM IS 15% AND THERE IS NO LIMIT TO THE PERCENTAGE OF FUNDS THAT MAY BE ALLOCATED FOR PUBLIC FACILITY CAPITAL, ALL THE OTHER TYPES OF PROJECTS WITH TOTAL CDBG FUNDING OF 1.3 MILLION AND THE OTHER, UM, MAXIMUMS REACHED, UM, THE AMOUNT AVAILABLE FOR THOSE PUBLIC FACILITY PROJECTS IS EXPECTED TO BE APPROXIMATELY 845,000.

SO THE RECOMMENDATIONS FOR CDBG FUNDING ALLOCATIONS ARE LISTED HERE AND ALSO IN ATTACHMENT TWO OF YOUR AGENDA REPORT FOR PLANNING AN ADMIN, UH, CATEGORY STAFF IS RECOMMENDING FUNDING FOR THE ADMINISTRATION OF THE CDBG AND HOME PROGRAMS IS, IS USED.

THIS FUNDING IS USED FOR THAT AS WELL IN THE AMOUNT OF 235,000.

WE'RE ALSO RECOMMENDING 25,000 AND CDBG FUNDS, UH, FOR FAIR HOUSING SERVICES THROUGH CSA SAN DIEGO COUNTY.

WE YOU'LL SEE LATER, WE'LL ALSO BE RECOMMENDING ANOTHER 5,000 FROM HOME FUNDING TO THIS ACTIVITY FOR A TOTAL CONTRACT AMOUNT OF $30,000 WITH CSA UNDER THE PUBLIC FACILITIES, CAPITAL OTHER CATEGORY, UH, STAFF RECEIVED THREE APPLICATIONS AND RECOMMENDS ONLY, UH, TWO OR THREE OF THOSE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD STREET LIGHTS PROJECT, WHICH IS CURRENTLY UNDERWAY.

AND WHEN THE PIN FOR CONTINUATION OF THAT PROJECT IN THE AMOUNT OF 280,000, A NEW PROJECT BROADWAY CREEK RESTORATION HAS SUBMITTED AN APPLICATION AND IS ELIGIBLE.

AND WE'RE RECOMMENDING FUNDING FOR THAT PROJECT IN THE AMOUNT OF 525,000 AND FINALLY A SECURITY SAFETY FENCING PROJECT PROPOSED BY EAST COUNTY, TRANSITIONAL LIVING CENTER IN THE AMOUNT OF 40,000, THE CDBG ADMINISTRATION AND THE NEIGHBORHOOD STREET LIGHTS PROJECTS ARE RECOMMENDED FOR ANY INCREASES OR DECREASES IN FUNDING.

WHEN THE ACTUAL FINAL ALLOCATIONS ARE KNOWN UNDER THE PUBLIC SERVICES, FUNDING ALLOCATIONS CANNOT EXCEED 15% OF THE TOTAL GRANT AMOUNT STAFF RECOMMENDS FUNDING FOR THE CRIME FREE MONTHLY HOUSING PROGRAM IN THE AMOUNT OF 49,107, THE EMERGENCY SHELTER EAST COUNTY TRANSITIONAL, AND THE AMOUNT OF 100,000, THE SENIOR CARE COORDINATION PROGRAM PROVIDED BY ELDER HELP IN THE AMOUNT OF 10,893, THE ROTATIONAL SHELTER PROGRAM THROUGH INTERFAITH AT 10,000 AND THE MEALS ON WHEELS, ALCOHOL PROGRAM IN THE, YOU KNOW, OF 25,000, UH, THAT GIVES US TOTAL PUBLIC SERVICES ALLOCATION OF AND 95,000.

AND THAT MAXIMIZES ALLOCATES ALL THE DOLLARS OF THE 1.3 MILLION FOR CDBG.

THERE ARE ALSO MAXIMUMS AND MINIMUMS PERCENTAGES THAT MUST BE CONSIDERED WHEN ALLOCATING THE HOME FUNDING FOR PLANNING AND ADMIN.

WE CAN AWARD NO MORE THAN 10% OF THE TOTAL ALLOCATION.

IN THIS CASE, TOTALING 63,000, THE MINIMUM A MINIMUM OF 15% MUST BE

[00:10:01]

RESERVED FOR COMMUNITY HOUSING, DEVELOPMENT ORGANIZATIONS AND PROJECTS.

SO FOR THIS YEAR, THAT'S 94,500, AND WE ARE JUST REQUIRED TO HOLD THAT IN RESERVE, THE REMAINDERS AVAILABLE FOR OPTIMIZED HOUSING PROJECTS AND PROGRAMS, AND WITH THE TOTAL ESTIMATED FUNDING AT 630,000, THE AMOUNT AVAILABLE FOR HOUSING ACTIVITIES IS EXPECTED TO BE APPROXIMATELY 572,500.

BUT THAT STAFF IS AVAILABLE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.

YOU MAY HAVE ANY QUESTIONS RIGHT NOW FOR STAFF.

ALL RIGHT, LET'S START WITH, UH, OPENING THE PUBLIC HEARING AND, UH, ANGELA, WE HAVE CARDS.

YES, SIR.

WE RECEIVED FOUR COMMENTS.

FIRST ONE READS, GOOD EVENING, HONORABLE MAYOR WELLS AND COUNCIL MEMBERS.

MY NAME IS STELLA FIELDS AND I AM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF CSA SAN DIEGO COUNTY.

I WOULD LIKE TO THANK YOU FOR YOUR ONGOING SUPPORT AND THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE YOUR FAIR HOUSING PROVIDER.

THIS PAST YEAR HAS HAD ITS CHALLENGES DUE TO THE PANDEMIC AND CLIENTS BEING IN THE REAR WITH THEIR RENTS.

THANK YOU FOR THE RENTAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM THAT YOU IMPLEMENTED ALONG WITH THE PANDEMIC.

THERE WAS A RISE IN TENANT LANDLORD ISSUES RANGING, RANGING FROM LANDLORDS, ATTEMPTING TO RAISE RENTS.

THEY CATE AND EVICT THEIR TENANTS.

IN ADDITION, WE HAD SEVERAL FAIR HOUSING ISSUES ADDRESSING DISABILITIES, AND WE PROVIDED SEVERAL OKLAHOMA RESIDENTS, A REASONABLE ACCOMMODATION PACKET TO ASSIST THEM.

WE PRESENTLY ARE A HUD APPROVED HOUSING COUNSELING AGENCY PROVIDING TENANT LANDLORDS RIGHTS, FAIR HOUSING RIGHTS FOR HOUSING TESTING ENFORCEMENT EDUCATION AND OUTREACH.

THESE SERVICES HAVE PROVIDED MANY ALCOHOL CLIENTS OPPORTUNITIES TO STAY IN THEIR HOMES, IDENTIFY ANY DISCRIMINATION, COMPLAINTS AND MEDIATE TENANT LANDLORD CONFLICTS.

IN ADDITION, WE HAVE EDUCATIONAL WORKSHOPS, INCOME COMMUNITIES PROVIDED BY OUR HUD FIRST TIME HOME BUYERS PROGRAM.

THESE ARRAY OF SERVICES HAVE HAD A POSITIVE IMPACT IN OUR ALCOHOL COMMUNITY.

I WOULD LIKE TO REQUEST YOUR ONGOING SUPPORT AND CONTINUED PARTNERSHIP.

IT IS A PLEASURE WORKING WITH THE CITY OF OKLAHOMA.

AND THANK YOU AS STILL.

THE NEXT COMMENT IS FROM DEBRA MARTIN AND IT READS, WE ARE GRATEFUL FOR THE COUNCIL SUPPORT AND REALIZE FUNDS ARE LIMITED.

I WANTED TO MAKE SURE IT'S NOT NOTED IN THE AGENDA THAT ELDER HELPS REQUEST FOR $15,000 IN FUNDS.

IT'S NOT ONLY FOR CASE MANAGEMENT AND TRANSPORTATION.

WE ARE ALSO SERVING 46 SENIORS MONTHLY USING OUR FOOD PROGRAMS, WHICH COST APPROXIMATELY 20 TO $30 PER DELIVERY FOR TWO WEEKS OF FOOD PER SENIOR, NOT INCLUDING LABOR PLUS ANOTHER 50

[00:15:01]

NON PANTRY CLIENTS RECEIVING ONGOING CASE MANAGEMENT AND ACCESS TO SUPPORT AND SERVICES.

THE FOOD PROGRAM ALONE FOR ALCOHOL CLIENTS COST APPROXIMATELY 13,000 WITHOUT LABOR AND WITHOUT INCLUDING COSTS FOR THE OTHER 50 NON PANTRY CLIENTS.

IF ANY CONSIDERATION CAN BE GIVEN FOR OUR FULL REQUESTS, WE WOULD BE MOST APPRECIATIVE.

OTHERWISE WE WILL MOST LIKELY BE REDUCING THE FOOD SERVICES OVER THE NEXT SIX MONTHS.

IS THERE ANY APPRECIATION DEBRA MARTIN CEO OF ELDER HEALTH OF SAN DIEGO? THE NEXT COMMENT IS FROM REEDS.

THANK YOU, MAYOR WELLS, CITY, COUNCIL AND STAFF.

MY NAME IS HAROLD BROWN, THE CEO FOR EAST COUNTY TRANSITIONAL LIVING CENTER.

WE HAVE PARTNER OVER THE YEARS TO HELP THOUSANDS OF HOMELESS FAMILIES OFF THE STREET AND INTO PERMANENT HOUSING OR LONG-TERM PROGRAMS. I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR CONSIDERING OUR REQUEST OF $100,000 TO CONTINUE TO HELP FAMILIES AND INDIVIDUALS IN OUR EMERGENCY SHELTER PROGRAM.

WE DO EXPECT AN UPTICK AND FAMILIES NEEDING THIS VERY SUCCESSFUL PROGRAM DUE TO THE PANDEMIC IN THE COMING YEAR.

WE'RE GOING TO BE ABLE TO INCREASE THE NUMBER OF EMERGENCY SHELTER PARTICIPANTS IN 2021.

AS WE WILL BE BUILDING TWO DORMITORIES THIS YEAR.

THANK YOU AGAIN FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION AND THE LAST, UH, COMMENTS SUBMITTED, UH, READS.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR PAST CALLS FOR YOUR I'M SORRY, I'M READING IT VERBATIM.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR PAST ALL SUPPORT OF OUR PROGRAMS AND CLIENTS THIS YEAR, IT IS NEEDED MORE THAN EVER SINCE OUR CLIENTS ARE THE FIRST TO BE LAID OFF OR FOR A LOAD LOWEST PRIORITY FOR JOB CREATION AND REHIRING.

WHEN THE PANDEMIC ENDS, OUR CLIENTS ALREADY HAVE MANY BARRIERS AND DESERVE A CHANCE.

WE'RE LOOKING TO THIS COUNCIL TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN MANY OF OUR CLIENTS AND THEIR FAMILIES LIVES.

OUR CLIENTS GIVE BACK TO THE COMMUNITY IN MANY WAYS, INCLUDING DONATING THEIR TIMES TO MEALS ON WHEELS AND SALVATION ARMY.

WE'RE NOT ASKING FOR A HANDOUT.

WE'RE ASKING FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE A JOB.

PLEASE RECONSIDER A FUNDING, OUR PROJECT PROPOSAL, OR EVEN PARTIAL FUNDING, WHAT YOU HAVE IN YOUR POWER TO DO GIVE US YOUR SUPPORT DURING THIS UNUSUAL TIMES, WE THANK YOU IN ADVANCE TO THE CITY OF ALCOHOL, FOR ALL YOUR SUPPORT AND CONSIDERATION ON THIS PROPOSAL.

A WARM REGARDS, DEBRA EMERSON, CEO OF ST.

MADELINE SOPHIE CENTER.

AND THAT CONCLUDES THE COMMENTS.

THANKS VERY MUCH.

UM, I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION THEN THE CLOSE, THE PUBLIC HEARING.

SECOND MAYOR WELLS, YOUR VOTE PLEASE.

COUNCIL MEMBER GOEBEL.

COUNCIL MEMBER MITCHELL.

CARRIES BY UNANIMOUS.

NOT ANSWER THAT QUESTION.

COUNCIL MEMBERS.

THIS IS ONE OF THE MORE INTERESTING TIMES OF THE YEAR.

WE ALWAYS HAVE MORE PEOPLE THAT NEED MONEY THAN WE HAVE MONEY TO GIVE.

UM, I THINK THE STAFF HAS MADE SOME GOOD RECOMMENDATIONS, OPENING UP TO DISCUSSION.

I'M HAPPY WITH IT.

I THINK THE STAT IS ALMOST READ MY MIND.

I AGREE WITH YOU.

I AGREE.

I HAVE A QUESTION SOMEDAY.

UH, OUR SIDEWALKS IN CBBG CDBG CENSUS AREAS ARE THOSE ELIGIBLE FOR CDBG FUNDS WHERE THERE ARE NO SIDEWALKS.

WELL, THEY, IF THEY'RE IN QUALIFIED CDBG CENSUS TRACKS, YES.

IF THEY ARE NOT, IF THEY'RE JUST GENERALLY OUT IN THE CITY, WE'VE BEEN, UH, WE DO HAVE A CONCRETE PROGRAM THAT ADDRESSES ADA, CURB RAMPS AND SIDEWALKS ASSOCIATED WITH THAT.

SO YES, AND CDBG, I LOVE THOSE CENSUS TRACKS.

WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO PROPERLY, I THINK SOMEDAY IN FUTURE YEARS, WE MIGHT WANT TO THINK ABOUT THAT A LITTLE BIT MORE, UM, TO, TO, TO BALANCE THINGS OUT ACROSS THE CITY.

GOOD IDEA.

ONE OF THOSE, WE HAVE A GOAL SETTING MEETING SET UP SO WE COULD, UH, MAKE THAT ONE PRIORITIES.

THAT'D BE GREAT.

UM, DO WE HAVE SPECIFIC, UM, AREAS TARGETED ALREADY FOR THE STREETLIGHTS? THANK YOU.

YES, WE HAVE THIS YEAR CURRENTLY FUNDED AND I DON'T HAVE, YES, I DIDN'T GET THAT INFORMATION.

UM, UH, PUBLIC WORKS STAFF EXACTLY WHERE THOSE ARE, THEN THESE ARE, THAT ARE ALREADY IN OUR PROPOSED THEIR NEW LIGHTS.

THEY WERE PREVIOUSLY IN DARK NEIGHBORHOODS AND THERE ARE, UM, DOING, PUTTING NEW LIGHTS, BRIGHTENING THE AREA, IF I MAY, UH, MAY OR MAY

[00:20:01]

SURE, PLEASE.

THANK YOU SO MUCH.

SO WE'RE, UH, CURRENTLY, UM, OUT TO BID, UH, FOR STREETLIGHTS, UH, FOR ABOUT, UH, 26 TO 30 AND THE AREA OF, UH, MOLLISON, UH, FIRST SHADY AND ORLANDO BETWEEN MAIN STREET AND MADISON.

AND THAT PROJECT IS CURRENTLY OUT TO BID AND THAT WE'RE GOING TO BE UTILIZING FUNDS $500,000 FROM LAST YEAR CDBG ALLOCATION.

SO FOR NEXT YEAR CDBG ALLOCATION, WE'RE REQUESTING, UH, WE REQUESTED $300,000 AND IT'S BEING RECOMMENDED FOR 280,000, UM, ALLOCATION FOR FISCAL YEAR 22.

HOWEVER, UH, THE LOCATIONS, UH, HAVE NOT BEEN FINALIZED, BUT THEY ARE IN THE CPG AREA AND THE DISADVANTAGED AREAS.

WE GET MONEY FROM STTD TO SUPPLEMENT THIS STREETLIGHT PROGRAM, NOT FOR THIS PROJECT, THE ONE THAT WE HAVE OUT TO BID.

HOW ABOUT FOR ANY PROJECT DOES SDG AND YOU GIVE US MONEY FOR STREETLIGHTS, NOT, WE DON'T HAVE, UH, I CAN LOOK INTO THAT, UH, UH, FURTHER, BUT WE DON'T HAVE ANY MONEY ALLOCATED FROM SAN DIEGO GAS AND ELECTRIC FOR THE STREETLIGHT INSTALLATION PROJECT.

YOU MIGHT BE THINKING ABOUT THE UNDERGROUNDING PROGRAM.

THE STG HELPS.

NO, I, I, I THINK STG HAS APPROVED OF FUNDS FOR COMMUNITY IMPROVEMENTS.

I UNDERSTAND THAT THE FUNDING FOR THE UNDERGROUNDING, LIKE WE DID AT, UH, 100 FLETCHER PARKWAY.

YEAH.

BUT I'M LOOKING FOR ALL SOURCES OF EXTERNAL FUNDS IS WHAT I'M ASKING.

THAT THAT WOULD BE A GREAT TIME.

UM, GRAHAM, CAN WE LOOK INTO THAT? WE CAN ASK THEM.

I MEAN, I'VE BEEN WORKING WITH STG FOR MANY YEARS IN, IN, UH, COMMUNITIES THAT HAVE TREMENDOUS NEED IN AND THEY HAVE NOT CONTRIBUTED TO THAT, BUT MAYBE THERE'S AN OPPORTUNITY.

SO WE WILL LOOK INTO IT.

YOU KNOW, I THINK EVERYBODY GOT A WHOLE LOT OF CARES AND WHO KNOWS IF THE KARA'S FUNDS CAN BE USED IN THIS WAY, MAYBE SDG.

AND HE GOT SOME, I DON'T KNOW, BUT IT DOESN'T HURT TO, THERE'S A LOT OF MONEY FLOATING OUT THERE FROM, FROM CARE ZACK STUFF.

AND CERTAINLY WE SHOULD EXHAUST ALL OPPORTUNITIES TO SEE WHO'S GOT SOMETHING THAT COULD HELP US JUST TO YES, MEAN SAID SOMETHING INTERESTING.

SO WITH REGARD TO THE STREETLIGHT IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM, UM, PRIOR YEAR WAS $500,000.

AND I THINK YOU SAID THAT WITH THAT $500,000, WE WERE ABLE TO GET 26 STREETLIGHTS INSTALLED.

IS THAT THE NUMBER THAT YOU SAID OR DID I MISHEAR THAT IT'S BETWEEN 26 AND 30 AND, UH, TYPICALLY, UH, THE ESTIMATE IS CONTINGENT UPON, UH, INFRASTRUCTURE REQUIREMENTS.

UM, AND THAT'S PROBABLY WHY WE SEE THE DIFFERENCE IN THE AMOUNT OF LIKES.

SO, AND THAT'S, AND THAT'S THE DIFFERENCE IS WHETHER YOU HAVE TO BUILD A FREE STANDING POLE OR IF YOU ATTACH IT TO AN EXISTING WOODEN ELECTRICAL LINE OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT, OR, UH, MORE BRINGING, UH, POWER INTO THE COMMUNITIES, UM, EITHER UNDERGROUND OR OVERHEAD UNDERGROUND.

AND THEN THE SECOND QUESTION IS IF WE HAVE, UM, STREETS IN OUR NEIGHBORHOODS THAT DON'T HAVE ANY STREET LIGHTS, UM, AS LONG AS THEY ARE IN A QUALIFIED TRACK, THEY CAN BE, THIS PROGRAM CAN BE USED TO INSTALL THE LIGHTS THERE.

IS THAT RIGHT? THAT'S CORRECT.

YES, SIR.

HAVE A QUESTION FOR MICHELLE.

SO A FEW YEARS AGO I HAD, UM, A STREETLIGHT PUT IN MY CUL-DE-SAC BEFORE I RAN FOR CITY COUNCIL, UM, IN MY CALL, THE STACK AND THEY CALLED THE SAT NEXT TO ME.

AND I WAS TOLD AT THAT TIME THAT, UH, THEY WERE GOING TO GET, UH, ASSISTANCE FROM STG AND E NOW I'VE HEARD YASMEEN SAY THAT THEY WERE GOING TO DO MOLLISON.

AND SO IS THAT THIS YEAR WE'RE GOING TO PUT LIGHTS IN, ON MODEL MAWSON OR IS THAT NEXT YEAR THAT'S HOPEFULLY BY THE SUMMER.

YES, IT IS SO DARK HERE ON NORTH MODELS AND THAT I'M SURE A LOT OF PEOPLE IN MY DISTRICT WILL APPRECIATE THAT.

GOOD TO KNOW.

COUNCIL MEMBER INFILL MEMBER MITCHELL.

UH, WE'LL GET A, UM, DID YOU WANT TO MAKE A MOTION? UH, I'LL MOVE ADOPTION OF BIZ CB CDBG, ALLOCATIONS, WORKSHEETS.

ALL EXACTLY.

UM, MAYOR WELLS, BOTH PLEASE.

[00:25:01]

AND ALSO MEMBER OR TESE.

ALRIGHT, THANKS EVERYBODY.

MOTION CARRIES BY UNANIMOUS VOTE.

THIS BRINGS US TO THE GERMAN, THE ADJOURNED REGULAR JOINT MEETING OF THE ALCON CITY COUNCIL, ALCOHOL AND HOUSING AUTHORITY.

THEN WE ALSO NEED A MOTION FOR THE HOME ALLOCATIONS.

IF YOU DON'T MIND, THEN I'LL MAKE A MOTION FOR APPROVAL OF THE HOME ALLOCATIONS WORKSHEET.

I'LL SECOND ME OR WEALTHIER VOTE.

REMEMBER MITCHELL? YES.

IN COUNCIL MEMBER ORTIZ.

CARRIES BY UNANIMOUS VOTE.

WE NEED ANY MORE MOTION.

WELL, DURING THEN, UM, THE NEXT DATE, WE WILL SEE YOU ALL AS ON THE 23RD DAY OF FEBRUARY, 2021.
