I have to complete one more agenda <br />review. If that review warrants any questions, I will update the Team. <br />Agenda Item No. 17 is about the purchase of new Water Meter Boxes and Lids. <br />A Councilmember had asked if the automated metering was completed. Per Nabil Saba, <br />the City has completed about 10% of the automation upgrades. It is moving along, but <br />moving slow due to supply chain issues. <br />2. Agenda Item No. 21 is the Working Wardrobe contract to provide training and vocational <br />training to probationers or others formerly justice involved, <br />A Councilmember asked if there are any information on success stores for such individuals. <br />I have attached a success story to this email. Their past performance is below. <br />Working Wardrobes Past Performance <br />0 Subcontractor for P2E between 9/2020-3/2022 <br />• 86 Participants enrolled <br />• 54% employment rate (during the height of the pandemic) <br />• When you compare employment rates for justice involved people without a program the <br />difference is striking <br />• Employment rates for justice involved people according to a Bureau of Justice report <br />range between 34.9% and 37.9% <br />• The WW program achieved 54% during COVID. We are aiming a minimum 60% this <br />time around. This population along with homeless people and people on welfare are <br />considered the hardest to serve <br />3. Agenda Item No. 22 - Agreement to design the public realm plan. <br />There was a question of the length of the S. Main portion of the design. On Main Street, <br />the Public Realm Plan goes from 1st Street to Goetz Avenue (near railroad). <br />4. Agenda Item No. 35 - City Council Aide Agreements <br />
