Mayor Turner stated to Mr. Van Arsdel to give his infomation to Rene Ruiz.

Council Member Robinson advised that Mr. Van Arsdel is a friend of his and they go to church together. He’s heard about his story in his office and is sympathetic. Mr. Van Arsdel has explained the story quite well and he‘s looking forward to seeing what they can do to help him.

Council Member Pollard stated to Mr. Van Arsdel that it shouldn’t take him coming down here to speak to them. If this situation happened back in July and the only thing that is holding it up is providing a number of a truck they can readily identify, based on his street and the route and the scheduling, we have to do a better job about ensuring that we do all that we can to make sure that the citizens and the residents of Houston don’t have to come down here on petty matters to get things resolved. In something like this, he‘s is appalled that it has to get to this point. He thanked Mr. Van Arsdel for coming down here and bringing it to their attention. He is sure that the Mayor and his Administration will jump on it.

#4 - ART SMITH – 5315 Sonora St. – 77020 – 713-691-9206 – Justice for Arthur Carr – (In Person).

Council Member Evans-Shabazz stated to Mr. Smith that she‘s been a long time friend and Koffey was her student. She is going to implore the police department to do a full investigation and if there is anything she can do to help facilitate a fair and just investigation, she will certainly be available to him. She offered her sincerest condolences to him and his family.

Council Member Castex-Tatum gave her condolences to Mr. Smith about his son but she does have a question because he made a comment that she doesn’t understand. The comment was, ”that them rehabbing Bellfort Park was part of a coverup.“ She wanted to express to him that the rehabbing of Bellfort Park, had nothing to do with a coverup of any crime. She is clammering for rehabs in the district and that was one of the very first ones that was done with the Harvey funds and they are very proud of the rehab that happened at that location. Many of those residents would have been displaced if they would have sold that property or if something else would have happened there had it not been done. For many of those people, they would not have been able to go into another location to live. This was a very important project for them in the district and in the city. She does want to see what they can do to help find out what happened to his son or if there has been some type of investigation because this is the first time she’s heard about this. She wants to help navigate in getting some answers.

Mayor Turner offered to Mr. Smith his condolences for his son and he thinks the best thing that we can do is to make sure that HPD does a very thorough investigation. And this is not just HPD, but also the Harris County District Attorney‘s Office because they determine whether or not charges should be filed.

Council Member Kamin stated that she wanted to give additional background. She also wanted to thank Mr. Lucey for working with her office. DON, her office, the chief arborist, and the Parks Department have all been out and all have been working with Mr. Lucey trying to come up with a solution. She appreciates Mr. Lucey agreeing for the City to remove the gravel portion of his driveway so that the city can repair the rest of the sidewalk path.

MAYOR’S REPORT

Mayor Turner stated that the Houston Health Department has started offering Pfizer booster shots to people who qualify under the CDC guidelines, they can call (832) 393-4220 or visit houstonemergency.org to find a nearby free site or to make an appointment to get your booster shot. In terms of the vaccination numbers for eligible Houstonians from 12 and above, 76.1% of Houstonians have received their first dose and then 64.4% are fully vaccinated. The positivity rate is 13.8% and then the hospital numbers in the City of Houston have come down from about 2,800 to about 1,600. It’s trending in the right direction and we need to keep bringing those numbers down. The county vaccination incentive program is ending this week, but the city’s vaccination incentive program is $100.00 for the first shot and $50.00 for the second shot and that program is continuing. They provided enough funding for 20,000 and up to this point, about 14,000 people have participated.

With respect to the Houston Harris County Emergency Rental Assistance, thousands of Houstonians are still struggling with the fear of evictions because of the pandemic. Recently, another $86 million was added to the Houston Harris County Emergency Rental Assistance program. The new funding was expedited from the federal government because of how fast the local program has been disbursing its original funds to help families in our region. This Thursday, people can get free legal aid and real time help to apply for rental assistance and avoid evictions because of the pandemic. The event is Thursday, September 30th from 3:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. at the Bridge Church in southwest Houston, at 14,880 Bellaire Boulevard.

Mayor Turner congratulated Houston Public Works for receiving an Asphalt Art Initiative grant from Bloomberg.org. It’s a $25,000 grant for the Gulfton Safe streets. The collaborative program helps to fund creative art and design projects to improve street safety, revitalize public spaces and engage community residents.

He is looking forward to supporting the Houston Women’s March, which will bring together women and allies for a peaceful walk and rally on Saturday. Participants will walk from Discovery Green to City Hall to raise awareness of some recent state laws that have restricted women’s rights. Speakers will include television host, producer, author and activist, Padma Lakshmi, Top Chef, television personality and author, Gail Simmons, Executive Director of The George Floyd Foundation, Shareeduh Tate and Harris County Judge Lina Hidalgo. He will be taking part in the opening ceremony for the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure on Saturday. It’s the largest gathering of breast cancer advocates, volunteers, survivors and supporters in Houston. Lastly, Tuesday, October 5th is National Night Out in Houston. Chief Finner and police officers will be out in various neighborhoods to discuss crime prevention and build stronger relationships with the public.
