20-044 ADMINISTRATION

➢ Ms. Shanna Burke, Executive Director, SETRPC, provided an update on COVID-19

information as shown below:

Return of All Employees to SETRPC Offices – June 15, 2020

Effective Monday, June 15, 2020, all employees were expected to return to work at the SETRPC Offices, unless

they had an extenuating circumstance that has been assessed and cleared by a Director or for Directors, with the

Executive Director. There are several who are covered under the ADA, and those are being taken on by a case-

by-case basis. And, if an accomodation needs to be made, that is being done.

Public Access to SETRPC Offices – June 22, 2020

Effective Monday, June 22, 2020, the SETPRC Offices will be open to the public, depending on what’s going on

with COVID-19 in the area this week. Anyone entering will be screened at the front desk and all other protocols

currently in place will be expected of the public as is in place for employees.

Health Protocols for Office - Update

In order to ensure a safe work environment, we have taken the following steps outlined by the CDC and/or as

general safety precautions:

• Screening of all employees is done upon entering the office.

• Temperatures are taken.

• Completion of a symptom screening form is required.

• Hand sanitizer is required when entering the reception area from the lobby.

• Hand sanitizer, cleaning wipes, cleaning sprays and/or alcohol swabs are placed in common areas.

• Gloves have been made available in the area outside of Suzanne’s office.

• Soap is available in all kitchens and rest rooms.

• Hand sanitizer has been provided for each employee to have at his/her individual desk.

• Box of tissues has been provided for each employee to have at his/her individual desk.

• A face mask has been provided to all employees.

• Guidelines have been issued requesting social distancing, particularly in common areas.

• Outside air dampers have been installed on all air conditioning/heating units to allow inside air into the

building.

• Information about COVID-19 and the prevention of such has been placed throughout the building.

20-045 CRIMINAL JUSTICE & HOMELAND SECURITY DIVISION

➢ Mr. Steve Curran, Director, Criminal Justice & Homeland Security Division (CJHSD), stated

that the CJHSD was requesting approval to make application with the Hazard Mitigation Grant

Program for $200,000 ($150,000 federal and $50,000 in-kind/local cost share) to update the Hardin

County, Jefferson County, Orange County, and the South East Texas Regional Mitigation Action

Plans; and, potentially the Jasper County Mitigation Action Plans. The grant amount may adjust if it

is approved, and the grant application is due on July 31, 2020.

A Federal Emergency Management Administration (FEMA) and Texas Division of

Emergency Management (TDEM) approved Mitigation Action Plan is required in order for local

jurisdictions to receive any federal or state FEMA grant funding or to receive Public Assistance from

FEMA after a disaster. Local Emergency Management Coordinators contribute a substantial amount

of time to updating the plans, and non-grant funded personnel costs count toward the local match

requirement (In-kind costs). Historically, 100% of the cost share requirements have been met with

local in-kind personnel costs. A Request for Proposal has gone out in advance for a contractor to write

the plans contingent on HMGP funding approval.

Mr. Curran, on behalf of the CJHSD, requested approval to submit the Hazard Mitigation

Grant Program 4466-DR-TX (Imelda) application to update Regional Mitigation Action Plans as

presented.

Judge Wayne McDaniel, Hardin County, made a motion to approve the request for the CJHSD

to submit the Hazard Mitigation Grant Program 4466-Dr-TX (Imelda) application to update Regional

Mitigation Action Plans as presented. Commissioner Johnny Trahan, Orange County, seconded the

motion. The motion carried unanimously.

20-046 COMMUNITY SERVICES DIVISION

➢ Ms. Colleen Halliburton, Director, Community Services Division (CSD), requested approval

for Community Services Block Grant (CSBG) FY2020 Stabilization Subcontractors. Ms. Halliburton

explained that funds for Stabilization Assistance are provided, annually, to SETRPC by the Texas

Department of Housing and Community Affairs (TDHCA) in the form of a Community Services Block

Grant (CSBG). Stabilization Assistance provides one-time, annual assistance with rent and utilities

for households living below 200% of the federal poverty guidelines (normally at 125% or below the

poverty level).

MINUTES

SETRPC EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE

JUNE 17, 2020

PAGE 4

In February, the SETRPC published a Request for Proposals (RFP) to subcontract Stabilization

Assistance in Jefferson County. SETRPC staff is conducting the Stabilization Assistance for

Hardin and Orange counties directly. Two agencies made proposals, Some Other Place for North

Jefferson County and United Board of Missions for South Jefferson County. The proposals were

reviewed and approved by the CSBG Advisory Council on Monday, June 15th, and the Council

respectfully requested approval from the SETRPC Executive Committee for SETRPC to subcontract

with Some Other Place and United Board of Missions in the amounts as follows (start date June 1,

2020):

• Some Other Place (North Jefferson County) – $30,793

• United Board of Missions (South Jefferson County) - $22,076

(See Attachment A for Method of CSBG Funding Distribution and Federal Poverty Level Guidelines.)

Mr. Josh Allen, President, Jefferson County Drainage District 6, made a motion to approve

the CSBG FY20 Stabilization Subcontractors as recommended and presented. Mayor Becky Ames,

City of Beaumont, seconded the motion. The motion carried unanimously.

➢ Next, Ms. Halliburton presented for approval a request for CSBG Subcontractor Amendments

to receive additional money using Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs (TDHCA)

COVID-19 Discretionary Funds. The TDHCA has amended the SETRPC contract, adding $23,772 to

conduct Stabilization Assistance for low-income clients living at or below 200% of the federal poverty

guidelines impacted by COVID-19. TDHCA is providing the additional money from its Discretionary

Fund and is to be distributed in the same manner as SETRPC’s annual CSBG Stabilization Assistance

contract. The CSBG Advisory Council respectfully requested approval from the SETRPC Executive

Committee for the SETRPC to amend subcontracts with Some Other Place and United Board of

Missions to add the amounts as follows (start date June 2, 2020):

• Some Other Place - $9,892

• United Board of Missions - $7,092

Funds as presented and recommended. Commissioner Johnny Trahan, Orange County, seconded the

motion. The motion carried unanimously.

➢ In conclusion, Ms. Halliburton reported that the TDHCA is in the process of implementing an

additional CSBG contract with SETRPC for the use of Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic

Security Act (CARES) funds. The contract amount will be $649,330 and contains the same criteria

and client eligibility as the annual Stabilization Assistance contract. The CSBG Advisory Council

respectfully requested approval from the SETRPC Executive Committee for SETRPC to amend

subcontracts with Some Other Place and United Board of Missions to add the amounts as follows (start

date June 3, 2020):

• Some Other Place – $246,782

• United Board of Missions - $176,920

(See Attachment B for further details about the CARES Act funds and SETRPC’s plans.)

Mayor Becky Ames, City of Beaumont, made a motion to give approval for the SETRPC to

amend subcontracts with Some Other Place and United Board of Missions as recommended and

presented. Mayor Thurman “Bill” Bartie, City of Port Arthur, seconded the motion.

After a brief discussion regarding ways and efforts to prevent duplication of services, a vote

was called. The motion carried unanimously.

Finally, Mayor Rebecca Ford, City of Bevil Oaks, SETRPC President, commended Ms.

Halliburton and staff for the good work they are doing.

Executive Director, both Ms. Burke and Mr. Dickinson suggested that perhaps the event could be

rescheduled for the 3rd or 4th week in October at the same place and asked for feedback from the

CARES INFORMATION & REFERRAL NETWORK

Multiple agencies and jurisdictions are receiving CARES Act funding to provide direct client services, and yet

there is no central location to provide the Who, What, Where and How to access these services. The SETRPC is

forming a CARES Information & Referral Network of organizations providing COVID related client services.

A Resource Directory will be made available on the SETRPC website for CARES Act client services in Hardin,
