OK, Now public forum. Thank you, Mr. Monette. | 00:03:23 | |
Good evening. How's everybody doing today? | 00:03:29 | |
My name is Chris Rottman and I have Joel Partridge here. We are with Support County Prevention Coalition. | 00:03:33 | |
We're one of the entities that advocate for absence on drugs and alcohol and we also facilitate the New Mexico Community Survey as | 00:03:38 | |
well as the Strategies for Success surveys. | 00:03:44 | |
I was here, I believe in April and I presented the 22 data for the strategies for success and the. | 00:03:50 | |
And New Mexico Community Survey. | 00:03:56 | |
I didn't want to wait so long now that we have the 23 data that we just collected, so I wanted to go ahead and present that data | 00:03:59 | |
to you and. | 00:04:02 | |
Answer any questions that you might have as we go through the data. | 00:04:05 | |
Because everybody have a packet. | 00:04:10 | |
OK. | 00:04:11 | |
I also provided you a full report for each UM survey that we did, but the the PowerPoint is just kind of a. | 00:04:12 | |
A summary of some of the data that's in there. The key points. | 00:04:19 | |
Any questions? | 00:04:25 | |
OK, so some of the highlights are parents are reporting a large decrease in providing alcohol to minors. | 00:04:30 | |
When we go in and look at our data and our grass here in a few minutes are going to see it was kind of a little bit higher and | 00:04:38 | |
it's kind of dipped down a little bit and support parents are reporting that there is not as much. | 00:04:42 | |
Um. | 00:04:47 | |
Giving alcohol to students that was previously reported. | 00:04:49 | |
Perceptions that alcohol hurt use hurts the community. | 00:04:53 | |
Financially has increased so more people are becoming aware that. | 00:04:57 | |
The alcohol that is being unused in the community is starting to impact the the community financially and so the community is | 00:05:00 | |
becoming aware of that and all this data that I'm going over right now is from the community survey and then I'll go over the | 00:05:06 | |
student survey, which is the strategies for success. | 00:05:12 | |
Working surveys come from they come from the Office of Substance Abuse and Prevention. | 00:05:18 | |
From the state the. | 00:05:23 | |
The primary office that. | 00:05:26 | |
Funds our our provides our grant funding and then also does other funding for like scope and a few other places like the DFC and | 00:05:29 | |
other entities that are in town. | 00:05:34 | |
And and these graphs are only for Socorro County. | 00:05:40 | |
These graphs are for the county, yes. | 00:05:44 | |
Current use of prescription painkillers use decreased from 17.6% to 10.9%. | 00:05:49 | |
And misuse decreased from 6.9% to 4%. | 00:05:55 | |
Among all respondents and from 39% to 36% among current users. | 00:05:59 | |
UH, perceived risk of harm associated with misusing prescription drugs increase. So again, more people becoming aware that | 00:06:05 | |
utilizing prescription drugs outside of their being prescribed to them for a specific reason. They're becoming aware that it's not | 00:06:12 | |
in their best interest to utilize prescription drugs when it's not prescribed to them. | 00:06:19 | |
Reported shares of prescription painkillers. | 00:06:26 | |
Decreased among parents to 5%. | 00:06:29 | |
Our lowest prevalence ever and among all adults as well, returning to COVID era levels from 6.1. | 00:06:33 | |
So you were gonna we see a drop from? | 00:06:40 | |
Prior to COVID and then COVID kind of came up a little bit and now it's it's starting to drop again. | 00:06:44 | |
And then reported locking of painkiller increased among parents. | 00:06:49 | |
From 52% to 61%. | 00:06:53 | |
I I hope to say that that's partly in. | 00:06:56 | |
Help with from us SPC and scope. | 00:07:00 | |
We and also the juvenile probation justice team, they provide lock boxes and we provide lock boxes for prescriptions. | 00:07:03 | |
Uh, free of charge to people who are requesting them. So we give them the lock box so that they can lock up their prescriptions. | 00:07:11 | |
Any other substances that you know are aren't of best interest for kids or anybody else. That's really the holder to get these | 00:07:17 | |
balls. They can contact scope I I. | 00:07:22 | |
I give mine to scope and they scope gives them out and also the Socorro juvenile Justice program will issue them as well. | 00:07:27 | |
How do they get that phone number? They can contact us scope and or I can they can go to our website or then go to scopes website? | 00:07:35 | |
Our website located at Socorro Prevention Coalition. | 00:07:43 | |
Dot com or they can go to our Facebook which is Umm Socorro County Prevention Coalition at Facebook and they can get our our | 00:07:47 | |
number from there and then they can also find scopes number on there as well. Thank you. | 00:07:53 | |
Yes. | 00:07:59 | |
And then the and it's not mentioned in here, but the project aware from the high school. | 00:08:01 | |
They umm. | 00:08:07 | |
Jackie Muncie is running the project to wear, and so at the health the Socorro Health Coalition has put together a. | 00:08:08 | |
Resource guide with entities in town. | 00:08:17 | |
That people can access for various reasons such as mental health, drug abuse. | 00:08:21 | |
And other needs such as food and and financial assistance and stuff like that, so that we could provide that. There's around like | 00:08:27 | |
500 total entries into that. | 00:08:32 | |
Document. | 00:08:39 | |
It includes medical as well as health and dental and other necessities that the community may need access to. | 00:08:39 | |
To be able to contact. | 00:08:46 | |
And they should share it pretty soon. I think they're completing it. | 00:08:49 | |
Relatively new. You may have not seen it. | 00:08:53 | |
Thank you. | 00:08:55 | |
Remember sound good? | 00:08:59 | |
Yeah. | 00:09:00 | |
Yes, Mr. | 00:09:02 | |
I'll, I'll let him finish then I've got a question. | 00:09:04 | |
OK, troubling findings from the 2023 Community Survey. | 00:09:10 | |
Current drinking increased for the second year from 53.4% to 58.4%. | 00:09:15 | |
And again, this is people who answer the survey anonymously. | 00:09:21 | |
And submit their answers. | 00:09:25 | |
UH perception of ease of teen access to alcohol in the community increased from 72% to 87%. | 00:09:27 | |
So parents and other community members feel like kids have easier access to alcohol and. | 00:09:34 | |
And whether they're getting it from family members or they're getting it from stores just selling alcohol, they they have the | 00:09:39 | |
perception that it. | 00:09:43 | |
They do have easier access than what they've had in the past. | 00:09:49 | |
Prevalence of receiving painkillers to in 2023 is 21.8%, which is similar to 2022. | 00:09:53 | |
Which was the highest ever at 22.8, so it has dropped. | 00:10:00 | |
A percentage. | 00:10:04 | |
But you know, percentage isn't a lot, so we we hope to continue to work towards prevention of using painkillers and and abstaining | 00:10:05 | |
from painkillers to see that drop more. | 00:10:11 | |
And people aged 26 to 30 were more most likely to have received a painkiller and were also the most likely to misuse them. | 00:10:17 | |
And a lot of that misuse is also perceived as. | 00:10:26 | |
I was prescribed A painkiller and then but I didn't use it all. | 00:10:29 | |
And now I I don't need it anymore. But then I take it every once in a while if I get a headache or something like that, that would | 00:10:33 | |
still be considered misuse. | 00:10:36 | |
And then fewer respondents report that health care staff talks to them and about. | 00:10:40 | |
The risk of using painkillers 55 that went from 55.8 to 40.9. | 00:10:45 | |
You know, somebody had a question. | 00:10:52 | |
Any questions? I had a question. | 00:10:54 | |
You said these numbers come from the. | 00:10:57 | |
Forms that were turned. | 00:11:01 | |
Back in my parents or by the students? | 00:11:03 | |
What percentage of students return the forms? So this form, this data that I'm presenting right now is the Community Health | 00:11:07 | |
Survey. This is for anybody that's 18 and older. | 00:11:12 | |
And the this percentages here was about the same as last year, it was a small percentage. | 00:11:17 | |
Last year we had like 194, this year we had like 135 people in the in the county participate in the survey. | 00:11:21 | |
So it's not a great representative of our county, but. | 00:11:29 | |
Like I said last year, I'm going to say it again this year. The survey is extensively long. | 00:11:33 | |
We don't add anything to the survey. | 00:11:38 | |
But we have to give the survey that OSEP has. We could add more if we wanted to. | 00:11:40 | |
But we we have to minimally give what this, what OSA. | 00:11:45 | |
Requires it, which is the the minimal questions that we have. | 00:11:49 | |
And we don't issue any other questions just because we know it's a long survey and to give people the complete it makes it kind of | 00:11:52 | |
hard in itself. | 00:11:56 | |
28 minute short shortened survey and we thought we'd get better short by turning our funding. Would like to fund survey so they | 00:12:01 | |
don't just yeah. | 00:12:05 | |
So there's 135 students. This is a, this is a community members. | 00:12:10 | |
Humanity members, these are 18 to. | 00:12:17 | |
18 year olds, old and and above. | 00:12:20 | |
That's who completes this survey. | 00:12:22 | |
And it's an online survey that's completed advertisement was put in the newspaper, advertisement was put with a water bills. | 00:12:25 | |
We even were able to advertise with the Roadrunner Food Bank as well as the Food Bank in. | 00:12:32 | |
Magdalena, so we could kind of get that out more. It was even extended because the state was seeing not a great completion rate. | 00:12:39 | |
So they it normally stops at the end of April. They actually pushed it to the second week of May. | 00:12:45 | |
And the numbers across the state were kind of low. | 00:12:51 | |
As far as number of people that actually answered. | 00:12:54 | |
Do anything in the Gita. | 00:12:58 | |
Umm. | 00:13:00 | |
I wasn't aware that Vegeta had its own watering water like. | 00:13:02 | |
Company So next year I will go to the water company and ask if we can put the put it with the water bill. | 00:13:07 | |
So that way we can make sure we get together and we can also again I didn't wasn't realized, didn't realize that Sonic San Antonio | 00:13:12 | |
had their own watering system too. So we plan to do the same thing there so we can get that out with them after them more. We did | 00:13:17 | |
it, like I said, we had it in the newspaper we had at the movie theater. | 00:13:22 | |
Umm. | 00:13:27 | |
I'm probably leaning away from most newspaper because most people don't use the newspaper nowadays. I want to try and get it out | 00:13:28 | |
in other ways. | 00:13:32 | |
So in using the water bills and using various other entities like the Roadrunner, Food Bank and some of the other food banks. | 00:13:35 | |
Hopefully we'll be able to get more participants next year. | 00:13:44 | |
People start serving up, finish it, yeah. | 00:13:48 | |
It's a lot of things, but he kind of gets it. | 00:13:52 | |
You have the. | 00:13:56 | |
14 minutes in the comment, but we did see people started. | 00:13:57 | |
Not completed. So again that's our suppliers and we shorten it, but we don't give me. | 00:14:01 | |
And the other. | 00:14:07 | |
The other thing we asked was could we split it up, not do it all at one time. | 00:14:09 | |
And they never really answered this and they still haven't answered this. So we we have a meeting next week that. | 00:14:12 | |
Hopefully the survey will come up and they'll and the small percentage of participants in the survey across the state. | 00:14:17 | |
Hopefully we can bring that up again and kind of. | 00:14:23 | |
Split it up and maybe do half and half. That way we have more participation and not such a long story because like Joel said it | 00:14:25 | |
takes about 30 minutes to complete if you're really putting some diligent effort and and reading all the questions and answering | 00:14:29 | |
it. | 00:14:34 | |
Diligently diligently. | 00:14:38 | |
The other questions. | 00:14:41 | |
Mr. Mayor, I actually have a couple. | 00:14:43 | |
Ohh, the bottom of page two says fewer respondents report the healthcare staff talked to them and about. | 00:14:47 | |
To them. And about the risk of using painkillers. So if the healthcare providers aren't doing it, who is? Does your group talk to | 00:14:52 | |
him? So we don't talk, We don't. Our system, our program is not a direct. | 00:14:58 | |
Service. It's an indirect service. So we do a lot of advertising on social media and we do. We recently added this past year we | 00:15:04 | |
added Catch My Breath to the to the school, the high school where we provide a a presentation at the health in the health class. | 00:15:11 | |
But we don't do direct service like scope does direct service. They do a lot of events and activities. | 00:15:19 | |
We'll do a lot of indirect where we put Baggies together, we hand out bags at like local football games or the basketball games. | 00:15:24 | |
And then we also do advertising in our social media. | 00:15:31 | |
Entities like these Facebook and Instagram. | 00:15:36 | |
You see the expression? | 00:15:41 | |
Equalizer. | 00:15:42 | |
There's a lot of people out there, but there's a need. | 00:15:43 | |
So. | 00:15:46 | |
And. | 00:15:47 | |
They would in turn do that for them. | 00:15:48 | |
The patients. | 00:15:51 | |
And the council was addressed, I think, at the last meeting about the Southern New Mexico Youth Advisory Board and they were. | 00:15:52 | |
Not happy that the youth center just shut down right now and they want and I received an e-mail over the weekend from their local. | 00:15:59 | |
President, I guess. | 00:16:06 | |
And they still want to provide some of the services that I know miss Muncie's compiling that list for. How do we get them access | 00:16:07 | |
to that? | 00:16:11 | |
Do they contact the health office or so that the for the the the document that Jackie Muncie put together? | 00:16:14 | |
It's going to be on a QR code and she's supposed to have it to me. | 00:16:22 | |
Hopefully by. | 00:16:26 | |
The end of this week and I can actually send that QR code to polo and we can get it out. | 00:16:27 | |
And then I was going to ask once it came out, if we could add the QR code to the city website. | 00:16:31 | |
Any other, umm, we're going to add it to our website, we're going to put it on our Facebook and. | 00:16:36 | |
Umm. | 00:16:41 | |
Instagram pages. | 00:16:42 | |
And if any other entities that we could possibly, you know get it to, the thoughts were also some people don't have access to | 00:16:43 | |
technology or don't have the means to use the technology using QR codes as we talked about, possibly making printed copies and | 00:16:48 | |
giving printed copies to certain areas. | 00:16:54 | |
But with it being like 55 pages and that's a double sided, we just gotta look to see what the cost is gonna be and then see how | 00:17:00 | |
many we could print and then who would be willing to kind of. | 00:17:05 | |
Hold on to those and hand them out as they. | 00:17:10 | |
As they were requested for. | 00:17:12 | |
Thank you, because I know that was part of Doctor Sharon Sessions 100% Community initiative also was to get those resources out to | 00:17:14 | |
people. | 00:17:17 | |
Yeah, they have a good job putting documents together for sure. | 00:17:22 | |
And the the one thing with the prescription drugs is we also. | 00:17:26 | |
Core like worked with Kelly Pharmacy. | 00:17:32 | |
And so we would give them documentation that they could put in the bags and and and send out. | 00:17:35 | |
We also provided some of the prescription medication where you can put the medication in a little like a bag and it'll harden up | 00:17:40 | |
and so you can dispose it properly and stuff like that with them closing down and not having a a pharmacy that will, you know, | 00:17:46 | |
engage with us and allow us to put out our, our, our information. | 00:17:52 | |
It's kind of hard. | 00:17:58 | |
Working with pharmacies. | 00:18:00 | |
So I think it comes back to social media just. | 00:18:01 | |
Talking to people and providing the bags that we do like it gains and various other events that we do. | 00:18:04 | |
Thank you. | 00:18:11 | |
Other questions? | 00:18:12 | |
Thank you for the presentation. You started Curiosity, who fund you the Office of Social Abuse and Prevention. | 00:18:13 | |
And that our money comes through the city and so we in turn our invoices any, any. | 00:18:21 | |
Invoices or reimbursements that we need, we turn it into Polo, Polo, process it and then we in turn process it with the state and | 00:18:27 | |
then they refund the the city. | 00:18:32 | |
Fiscal. | 00:18:38 | |
Yes. | 00:18:39 | |
OK. Just curious. Thank you so very much. I have all the other data, y'all may go over it. Y'all wanna. | 00:18:41 | |
I have some in the next couple of slides or some data and it's kind of broken down and just. | 00:18:48 | |
Data that you can look at. It's pretty much the same data we had last year or in April, but with the updated information for the | 00:18:54 | |
new survey that was just completed. | 00:18:58 | |
So the first graph is the alcohol related measures. | 00:19:03 | |
And you're going to see that that's where the the current drinking has gone up just a little bit. | 00:19:07 | |
It was 53.4% from the 2022 survey and now it's at 55.2%. | 00:19:12 | |
Binge drinking also went up from 26% to 28.4%. | 00:19:20 | |
And then binge drinking all respondents. | 00:19:25 | |
Went from 15.5% to 15.7%, so you did see alcohol kind of increase. | 00:19:30 | |
And it's still lower than what it was during the COVID time, but it it's slightly going up again. | 00:19:37 | |
Providing alcohol to minors. | 00:19:46 | |
You are going to see slight decreases. | 00:19:48 | |
Adults providing alcohol to minors in the past year. | 00:19:51 | |
Uh, the first graph is for adults. | 00:19:54 | |
And you see a slight decrease from 4.7% to 4.5%. | 00:19:57 | |
And then and the blue is last year 22, the red is this year's, this past year, the 23 survey that just occurred and then what you | 00:20:03 | |
really see a decrease in is that's where the parents becoming aware of. | 00:20:09 | |
Alcohol not being good for the kids. | 00:20:16 | |
Is that from 7.4% down to 4.1%? | 00:20:18 | |
So there was a a drastic decrease in apparents providing alcohol and those who report parents that they were provide alcohol to | 00:20:23 | |
their children. | 00:20:27 | |
OK. | 00:20:33 | |
He's of access to community consequences for alcohol use. | 00:20:35 | |
And these are. | 00:20:39 | |
Is it very easy or somewhat easy for teens to access alcohol in the community? And this is where that perception comes back in | 00:20:40 | |
from the community? | 00:20:44 | |
You're going to see the pink line is the 2023 data and you're going to see that it did increase. | 00:20:47 | |
From 72.7% to 86.4%. | 00:20:53 | |
Now when you compare it to the 2021 data it is still lower but. | 00:20:58 | |
We did have a large increase. | 00:21:02 | |
From last year to this year's data. | 00:21:05 | |
And then the other portion of the graph, drinking hurts my community. | 00:21:07 | |
This is the perceived understanding that the city starts to understand that. | 00:21:11 | |
Drinking is hurting our community and so we did see an increase and that is a positive increase of 75.9. It went from 70.7. The | 00:21:16 | |
community community identified that. | 00:21:20 | |
Drinking does have a negative impact on the community, especially financially, and so 75.9% of the community is now seeing that | 00:21:25 | |
they feel like there is a financial impact. | 00:21:30 | |
To the community. | 00:21:36 | |
Question mark. | 00:21:40 | |
Perception of enforcement of alcohol related laws. | 00:21:42 | |
Umm. | 00:21:46 | |
20/21 was a very large. | 00:21:47 | |
Uh, perception of? | 00:21:50 | |
Lack of police. | 00:21:52 | |
The community feeling like the police are gonna do something about alcohol, especially when it came to minors drinking alcohol. It | 00:21:54 | |
was at 55.8% then last year, the community reported. | 00:21:59 | |
At 28.9 has slightly come back up to 30.3 so. | 00:22:05 | |
As of 2023 data. | 00:22:10 | |
The community 30.3% of the community feels like the police will arrest an adult for providing alcohol to minors. | 00:22:12 | |
Umm. | 00:22:20 | |
The police will break up underage parties. | 00:22:21 | |
That's at 37.9%. It did drop a little bit. | 00:22:24 | |
Last year they the community felt like 38.2% felt like they would break up parties. | 00:22:29 | |
It dropped slightly to 37.9. | 00:22:35 | |
And then the last one, being stuck stopped for driving after drinking too much. | 00:22:38 | |
The perception did increase from compared to last year. Last year the community felt like. | 00:22:44 | |
53.9% for like the police would stop you and and arrest you for drinking under the influence. Now they report at 58.4% So that's a | 00:22:49 | |
positive community seeing that they feel like they. | 00:22:56 | |
That the police will arrest people for drinking and driving. | 00:23:02 | |
I can't believe that there's people out there that think that they won't get arrested for drinking and driving. | 00:23:07 | |
You know this is? | 00:23:14 | |
They're willing to. It's like gambling. They're willing to gamble until they finally get caught. | 00:23:15 | |
So unfortunately. | 00:23:19 | |
Question What? | 00:23:23 | |
Like have you guys talked about like the numbers and everything and how much do you think these are like skewed or big number | 00:23:26 | |
changes or because of like you know COVID and people getting out again and stuff like that or maybe more money from? | 00:23:31 | |
Stimulus, I see a lot about this and there's all these different thoughts out there. Have you guys talked about that? So there's | 00:23:38 | |
no data that asks about like what are you using to buy your alcohol like that for? There is that data that shows if you look at | 00:23:43 | |
the 2020 and 2021 data, you're going to see where that's the COVID years. | 00:23:48 | |
In the COVID time, you're going to see where that kind of increased. | 00:23:54 | |
And then they're going to see where it starts to decrease and then increase again. Some of it has to do with, I really think some | 00:23:58 | |
of it has to do with. | 00:24:01 | |
Prior to COVID, we had a larger number of people participating in the survey and then COVID was a small amount. So that's why | 00:24:04 | |
those numbers were bigger. So the people that did respond kind of had. | 00:24:09 | |
The the numbers that increased. | 00:24:14 | |
The negative responses to for the 2020 and 2021 year. | 00:24:17 | |
And then last year we only had 194 and then this year we had 135 or 34. So that's a big factor also is the. | 00:24:23 | |
The small number of people responding to the survey, that's gonna that's gonna be a huge factor. You're going to see in a minute. | 00:24:31 | |
We go through the data for the kids, which is the strategies for success. We had more kids participate in the surveys than we did | 00:24:36 | |
adults participate in the community survey. | 00:24:40 | |
And so if we could increase the number of people participating in the survey? | 00:24:46 | |
Again, whether they take the survey, the full survey and spend 25 to 30 minutes or we hopefully get a split in in two. | 00:24:51 | |
That would help our numbers, but. | 00:24:58 | |
The ultimately getting a better idea is gonna be getting a better poll of the the population. | 00:25:01 | |
And that population includes. | 00:25:06 | |
Socorro Vegeta, San Antonio Limitar and then also Magdalena and Navajo Alamo So. | 00:25:08 | |
That those numbers are significantly missing now. Last year during the 2022, we did not get anybody from Magdalena to participate. | 00:25:18 | |
If they did, they saw it like in the newspaper or something like that. | 00:25:25 | |
This year we were able to reach out and get a lot of. | 00:25:32 | |
Of little Flyers since through the. | 00:25:37 | |
Food bank and then also sent through the city and stuff like that like we did here. So and we hope to continue to do that and and | 00:25:40 | |
again increase our numbers hopefully. | 00:25:45 | |
The next part of data is the student data. This was given to. | 00:25:52 | |
All the students that parents were willing to allow participate at that were at the high school. | 00:25:56 | |
At the middle school at Cottonwood. | 00:26:01 | |
And also Magdalena. | 00:26:04 | |
High school and middle school. | 00:26:07 | |
And so, and at the very end I have the breakdown of numbers from each school. | 00:26:08 | |
This focused on E cigarettes, drinking alcohol and also mental health. Some of the highlights were e-cigarrete use decreased for | 00:26:14 | |
high school youth. | 00:26:18 | |
From 26.5% to 21.9%. | 00:26:23 | |
Marijuana use decreased slightly for middle school youth from 2012.9% to 1220.2. | 00:26:27 | |
To 11.4%. | 00:26:34 | |
So. | 00:26:37 | |
And then students offer resiliency factors, such as wanting to take care of their health and to protect their future plans as | 00:26:38 | |
reasons for not drinking or using other substances. | 00:26:42 | |
More than 80% of the students have an adult who believes they will be successful and at least one. | 00:26:47 | |
Friend their own age? Who cares about them? Both powerful protective factors, students generally believe. | 00:26:53 | |
With that 90%, their parents think it is wrong for them to use alcohol, marijuana, E cigarettes. | 00:26:59 | |
Which is a strong protective factor. | 00:27:04 | |
Perception of harm for using most substances increased among middle school youth. | 00:27:07 | |
And past years sadness and hopelessness. | 00:27:12 | |
And suicidal ideation decreased slightly from 20 in 2023 after several years of increase. | 00:27:15 | |
And then I have a couple graphs for you to look at. | 00:27:24 | |
Thank you. | 00:27:28 | |
Ohh, I'm sorry. | 00:27:30 | |
I I was just thinking about what you said earlier about me, like y'all can add to the survey. | 00:27:31 | |
I don't know how much this would be. I know for the mental health aspect. | 00:27:37 | |
Because I see that a lot. | 00:27:41 | |
But. | 00:27:42 | |
Is there a way to ask questions like maybe? I mean, it's hard for some of our young people like at least to take a step back and | 00:27:44 | |
think about how they are, but. | 00:27:48 | |
I don't know like like cell phone or smartphone usage like. | 00:27:53 | |
Like a question like how? | 00:27:57 | |
How would you feel if your if your phone was removed from you for a day or some question that would like where they could respond | 00:28:00 | |
to that? | 00:28:03 | |
And then maybe tie that to like some mental health stuff because. | 00:28:06 | |
Honestly, like some of the stuff that like the issues that we see, I mean, we've got a lot of coaches here and we've got a lot of | 00:28:09 | |
like educators and so many of the issues that we see stem from something on social media. | 00:28:15 | |
Stems from like somebody thinking they've got to be somebody they're not. | 00:28:21 | |
And like that can steer like some of this mental health stuff. | 00:28:25 | |
Like. | 00:28:29 | |
Man, they, I mean, I don't want to say way worse than the things are on that list. Those are serious. But yeah, we might have like | 00:28:30 | |
have something a lot more serious than that. Just what I see. Is there a way to throw it in questions like that that? | 00:28:35 | |
That can get down to the root of that and see if that guys with some of these issues too. So there are mental health so. | 00:28:41 | |
The SFS, which is the strategy for success, and that's what we're talking about now for the kids, there are mental health | 00:28:46 | |
questions. | 00:28:49 | |
That not specifically asked about like if I take your cell phone away, but they do ask mental health questions about how often do | 00:28:52 | |
you feel depressed, how often do you feel like you have anxiety, do you feel like you know you feel like you would commit suicide | 00:28:57 | |
or or various questions like that. And so in the the full report that I gave you, you'll be able to see the breakdown of the | 00:29:02 | |
different types of questions. | 00:29:08 | |
And you'll be able to see the percentage of responses for all those questions. But it does ask. It asks more mental health | 00:29:14 | |
questions than the Community Health Survey does. | 00:29:18 | |
You're you're you're getting the correlation of. | 00:29:23 | |
Depression leading to substance abuse. Like I would say if, if, if we could find out if kids are on their phone more than five | 00:29:26 | |
hours a day, what's the percentage? | 00:29:31 | |
Godly. I bet you that being 90% or what? | 00:29:36 | |
Like, you know. | 00:29:40 | |
And and a lot of the stuff they're seeing and doing. I mean, yeah, I see it as a big issue. I see a lot of problems arising | 00:29:41 | |
because of that. | 00:29:45 | |
Please bring up two with. | 00:29:48 | |
Jackie knows 13 because they're really they're they're funding is 4 into one stuff. | 00:29:50 | |
Not that. | 00:29:57 | |
Trying to help those things, but jacking them really put them both in person. | 00:29:59 | |
About those things and what they're doing in high school, trying to. | 00:30:05 | |
Make kids aware of their mental health and advocating to talk to people. | 00:30:09 | |
And so I think that's what we can bring up. We're always gonna be together with Jackie. We'll definitely offer the sentiment | 00:30:14 | |
material. | 00:30:17 | |
You're. | 00:30:21 | |
There's a lot of asking those questions. We can pass that along to you because she that that's me and good for her for sure, but | 00:30:22 | |
it's not to us. But I think they can tighten up the work very easily. | 00:30:26 | |
Within the group. | 00:30:30 | |
Thank you. | 00:30:33 | |
In your opening statement you said these results. | 00:30:35 | |
Hanging from the surveys that were returned to you. | 00:30:39 | |
That the students were allowed to return them by their parents. | 00:30:44 | |
So how many students actually returned the survey? If you go to and we can jump to that if you like. If you go to the very last | 00:30:51 | |
page. | 00:30:54 | |
You're going to see that. | 00:31:00 | |
We had over 500. | 00:31:02 | |
Umm. | 00:31:04 | |
Students participate in the survey between. | 00:31:05 | |
So, Coral High Saracino. | 00:31:08 | |
Cottonwood and Magdalena Middle School High School. We had over 500 kids participate. | 00:31:11 | |
Much better than the adults, Yes, Very much, very. | 00:31:16 | |
Much better. It's actually it's 570 so you can see the breakdown. The first table tells you that. | 00:31:19 | |
Uh. | 00:31:24 | |
Every student that was in six through 8th grade at Cottonwood participated. I think there was one student that was absent. | 00:31:25 | |
When they did it. | 00:31:31 | |
But 49 kids participated at Saracino, 167 kids participated. | 00:31:32 | |
At the high school, 229 kids participated, at Magdalena High, 61 participated, and at Magdalena, I'm sorry, Middle school and | 00:31:39 | |
Magdalena High, 64 kids participated. | 00:31:44 | |
And so. | 00:31:49 | |
Every kid at Magdalena also participated. I think he Chris Backstrom and told me that maybe one or two kids. | 00:31:52 | |
Weren't there the whole week that when they were doing that but? | 00:31:59 | |
Majority, like more than 90% of their kids participated at the at Magdalena between middle school and high school. | 00:32:02 | |
Mostly teachers allowed us to. | 00:32:08 | |
Go to class and interact with the kid. | 00:32:11 | |
And help with the. | 00:32:15 | |
We don't use some of our stuff as a grade, right? | 00:32:17 | |
And this The girl loves to do the presentation there, so it helped engage the kids to where it was worth something for them to do | 00:32:20 | |
it. | 00:32:24 | |
Because we asked to do but they got rid of. | 00:32:29 | |
Go ahead. | 00:32:33 | |
Good to learn that's not the aggregated data. | 00:32:34 | |
And they have the report, yeah, I sent. | 00:32:37 | |
The report and public and get those two. You have the you have the full report for the support, the the community survey as well | 00:32:41 | |
as the strategies for success. So there. | 00:32:46 | |
And then I know I'm going. I'm rambling. I'm going to go ahead and jump to my last. | 00:32:51 | |
Bing. | 00:32:57 | |
And get to it. Just catch my breath. It's something new. This is our direct service. | 00:32:58 | |
Everything else is indirect with pamphlets and Flyers and posting stuff on social media and. | 00:33:02 | |
The catch? My breath is our direct service and this is where we go into the high school and we provide. | 00:33:09 | |
Anti vaping presentations to the health classes at the high school. It usually takes about three classes to get it done. | 00:33:16 | |
And so we picked three days to do it, and we. | 00:33:23 | |
We had in the fall we. | 00:33:29 | |
Met with 65 students who participated in the health class. | 00:33:31 | |
There were 3-4 health classes in the fall and three health classes in the spring. | 00:33:35 | |
And then we had 54 kids who participated in the spring. | 00:33:39 | |
And so we're we're. | 00:33:42 | |
Primary trying to hit all those freshmen coming in. | 00:33:44 | |
And then we do have a mix of sophomores, juniors, seniors who maybe didn't have health before they. | 00:33:47 | |
You know when they were freshmen that they have to take it back and so we're hitting those kids. Our hopes are that we can we will | 00:33:53 | |
get funded so we can add catch my Breath to the middle school. | 00:33:58 | |
At this moment in time we haven't been told whether we got the funding or not. | 00:34:03 | |
But once we know, I'll let Polo know. | 00:34:06 | |
And then we hope to be able to add Catch My Breath to the middle school. | 00:34:10 | |
And we would like to. | 00:34:14 | |
Present that to and every different presentation. Same concept, different presentation to the 6th graders so that way they saw it | 00:34:16 | |
when they were 6th grade. | 00:34:19 | |
And then by the time they got the 9th grade, they'd see it again. Three years later and hopefully we can deter students from | 00:34:22 | |
utilizing vaping and other tobacco products. | 00:34:27 | |
Other questions from the Council. | 00:34:33 | |
Mr. Milner. | 00:34:37 | |
Sorry. | 00:34:38 | |
Thank you. Thank you for the time and we appreciate it. | 00:34:40 | |
Have a great day before we go to the next item. | 00:34:45 | |
From last the Council and. | 00:34:49 | |
Mr. Monett on. | 00:34:51 | |
Prophetic form is supposed to be for less than 5 minutes. | 00:34:54 | |
Yes, if this ever comes up again, we need to move it to an item. | 00:34:57 | |
Fair enough. Is that alright with everybody? | 00:35:02 | |
Yeah. | 00:35:05 | |
The next one that Chris is there, Mr. Mayor Kim. | 00:35:07 | |
We have a couple in the audience still under public forum. | 00:35:09 | |
Ohh, OK. I'm sorry. | 00:35:13 | |
That's fine. | 00:35:16 | |
Thank you. | 00:35:26 | |
YouTube. | 00:35:27 | |
Ready. | 00:35:28 | |
Ready to go. It was 101 degrees. | 00:35:32 | |
But all the kids finished. | 00:35:35 | |
These are the head. | 00:35:42 | |
Umm. | 00:35:45 | |
Bring a couple of items to your attention. Obviously it's a huge community effort. I think the city of Socorro where their | 00:35:47 | |
sponsorship in terms of city police presence, EMS. | 00:35:52 | |
And they also provide larger stacks for short Switch are on order for all of you as well. Everybody signs up at the last second. | 00:35:57 | |
So it's really hard to plan for T-shirts. And so we have a 2nd order coming and those I will bring later, but there are New Mexico | 00:36:05 | |
Tech, NRO local businesses. And then most importantly to me, over 60 volunteers come out just before this event. That's more than | 00:36:12 | |
the number of kids participating. But it takes a lot because there are a lot of driveways around Tech campus. | 00:36:20 | |
That I want to make sure I'm monitored for the safety of the kids on the bike. So it's a swim bike run for youth 7 to 14 and this | 00:36:27 | |
was the we say I say 13th annual ish. | 00:36:34 | |
And since there was a break during COVID, but it was, it's great to be back the second year in a row. Last year we were not able | 00:36:41 | |
to finish because of a freak thunderstorm. So this year all those younger kids finally got to actually cross the finish line and | 00:36:45 | |
they were really happy about that. | 00:36:50 | |
And so not only were there a lot of volunteers that included the high schools cross country team and the high school swim team. | 00:36:55 | |
A bunch of the volunteers have been past participants of the youth triathlon, which is really exciting to see them come back and | 00:37:02 | |
give back and give back to the community in that way. | 00:37:06 | |
And you have 43 kids start and finish. What was super exciting to me, 25 or almost 60% were from Socorro County and that's always | 00:37:11 | |
been my goal is to bump up that local participation rate. I mean, I love when families come down from Albuquerque, that's great | 00:37:16 | |
for Socorro, but. | 00:37:21 | |
I do this for the kids who are here and providing new opportunities that they will. | 00:37:27 | |
Likely. | 00:37:33 | |
Reach for other places. So that was very exciting to me. And then another new thing was that four of the kids who participated | 00:37:34 | |
Friday night went to bed, woke up and then participated as part of a relay team with the next morning during the adult race. So | 00:37:41 | |
they did it back-to-back and they most grown-ups didn't do that. So to see them kind of like expand their horizons and say Oh well | 00:37:47 | |
like now I'll take it to the next level and and to do both in the same weekend was really fun. | 00:37:54 | |
And the cross country team was there at the water station and we just had a ton of local participation. And Mike Harmon, future | 00:38:02 | |
Louise. | 00:38:05 | |
Excuse me, we'll report on the adult race. That was Saturday morning, but. | 00:38:10 | |
I just want to thank the City of Squirrel for your continued support. I plan to be back next year. The planning will start in | 00:38:14 | |
January and thank you. | 00:38:19 | |
Thank you. I appreciate all that you do and your you're doing some good stuff. Everybody knows my grandson was in on it too. He | 00:38:25 | |
was the head swimming. | 00:38:30 | |
So thank you for all you do. | 00:38:34 | |
Can you give us a name and? | 00:38:37 | |
I'm there with Contractor, race director for the other triathlon. I also want to say thank you. | 00:38:41 | |
Like the resources you provide the for the shirts. | 00:38:47 | |
Attend the theater, workers. All that keeps our athletes safe and makes a. | 00:38:50 | |
Provide several quality event and like professional event we had over 177 participants. | 00:38:57 | |
One of 25 of them were from Socorro. | 00:39:04 | |
140 were from New Mexico. | 00:39:07 | |
So we have people coming all also from our state from Florida and Michigan. | 00:39:10 | |
Just calling for a triathlon because this is a USAT sanction event. | 00:39:15 | |
People from our state come here. | 00:39:19 | |
And the goal for next year is as. | 00:39:22 | |
Seem a little bit. Increased local participation, 25 external low numbers. Hopefully we can get more local. | 00:39:24 | |
Participation, but on the other hand. | 00:39:30 | |
It's amazing to see me like all the volunteers are locals, you know, faculty, local teams. | 00:39:32 | |
Committee members, club look clubs from Tech, so we get a lot of support from the community and I think that makes. | 00:39:39 | |
Even you being seen like all the community coming together to support. | 00:39:48 | |
To support all these athletes. | 00:39:52 | |
So thank you so much then. | 00:39:53 | |
Yeah, next year we are gonna. | 00:39:55 | |
Try to provide a better event for everybody. Thank you so very much. Thank you. | 00:39:57 | |
Everybody helps Republic form. | 00:40:02 | |
Not seeing any. Do we have Chris here to? | 00:40:06 | |
Give a presentation. | 00:40:09 | |
He did. So he just did it. | 00:40:13 | |
That's that's the one that did it earlier. | 00:40:16 | |
That will be done. | 00:40:21 | |
Ohh, there it is, got buried. | 00:40:26 | |

Motion passes. | 00:41:44 | |
OK. Any new business? | 00:41:47 | |
Wow. | 00:41:50 | |
And the whole business. | 00:41:51 | |
Peter. | 00:41:53 | |
Ohh Peter. | 00:41:54 | |
Listener. | 00:41:58 | |
Concerning the coral cast. | 00:41:59 | |
I know that the city. | 00:42:03 | |
Contributes dollars and. | 00:42:05 | |
Services towards Socorro Fast. | 00:42:08 | |
And I've had questions. | 00:42:11 | |
From businesses and local musicians. | 00:42:13 | |
Wanting to know if any of the monies. | 00:42:17 | |
Um. | 00:42:20 | |
That. | 00:42:22 | |
Socorro Fast pass. | 00:42:23 | |
Goes to. | 00:42:25 | |
Is this? | 00:42:28 | |
That might perform in in various. | 00:42:30 | |
Businesses. | 00:42:33 | |
Does that happen? Does anybody know? | 00:42:34 | |
Or or who do we ask? | 00:42:38 | |
Hi, Peter. | 00:42:41 | |
Yes. So as the years have gone on and in doing so, Coral Fest. | 00:42:43 | |
We have so many local musicians in Socorro that want to play. | 00:42:49 | |
And um. | 00:42:54 | |
We just don't have enough spots, so if we were just going to have one stage. | 00:42:56 | |
Nobody would get to play. So what we have done over the years, we we added stages. For example, we had one in front of City Hall. | 00:43:01 | |
We had extra tents at the time. We no longer have extra tents. | 00:43:10 | |
To create another state. So what we've kind of done over the years. | 00:43:14 | |
Is we have used the capital bar as one of the stages. | 00:43:18 | |
So the capital bar. | 00:43:23 | |
Basically pays for the expensive bans. Basically the the one that plays at the end of the night, the more expensive bands she pays | 00:43:25 | |
for the. | 00:43:30 | |
Sound system that happens at the cap. | 00:43:36 | |
And then we do end up paying and I don't know if it's city, it's a coral pain, it's New Mexico Tech. We get money from New Mexico | 00:43:39 | |
Tech. So we typically try to use New Mexico tax money. | 00:43:44 | |
To pay for some of that entertainment that we use at the at the capital bar as our as our second stage. | 00:43:50 | |
OK, so who's the contact person in case the business? | 00:43:59 | |
Or a local band. | 00:44:04 | |
Might want to get some information that they can probably contact Ronna who who generally does the contracts with all the local | 00:44:07 | |
musicians because she you know, she knows all of them or they can call Desiree. | 00:44:14 | |
OK. | 00:44:22 | |
Who's our tourism director? Thank you very much. | 00:44:23 | |
Questions on that. | 00:44:27 | |
OK and. | 00:44:30 | |
Old business. | 00:44:33 | |
Anybody need one regular session? | 00:44:36 | |
There's another report out. We don't have to measure, report. | 00:44:40 | |

First time we had one full time. | 00:03:20 | |
OK, Now public forum. Thank you, Mr. Monette. | 00:03:23 | |
Good evening. How's everybody doing today? | 00:03:29 | |
My name is Chris Rottman and I have Joel Partridge here. We are with Support County Prevention Coalition. | 00:03:33 | |
We're one of the entities that advocate for absence on drugs and alcohol and we also facilitate the New Mexico Community Survey as | 00:03:38 | |
well as the Strategies for Success surveys. | 00:03:44 | |
I was here, I believe in April and I presented the 22 data for the strategies for success and the. | 00:03:50 | |
And New Mexico Community Survey. | 00:03:56 | |
I didn't want to wait so long now that we have the 23 data that we just collected, so I wanted to go ahead and present that data | 00:03:59 | |
to you and. | 00:04:02 | |
Answer any questions that you might have as we go through the data. | 00:04:05 | |
Because everybody have a packet. | 00:04:10 | |
OK. | 00:04:11 | |
I also provided you a full report for each UM survey that we did, but the the PowerPoint is just kind of a. | 00:04:12 | |
A summary of some of the data that's in there. The key points. | 00:04:19 | |
Any questions? | 00:04:25 | |
OK, so some of the highlights are parents are reporting a large decrease in providing alcohol to minors. | 00:04:30 | |
When we go in and look at our data and our grass here in a few minutes are going to see it was kind of a little bit higher and | 00:04:38 | |
it's kind of dipped down a little bit and support parents are reporting that there is not as much. | 00:04:42 | |
Um. | 00:04:47 | |
Giving alcohol to students that was previously reported. | 00:04:49 | |
Perceptions that alcohol hurt use hurts the community. | 00:04:53 | |
Financially has increased so more people are becoming aware that. | 00:04:57 | |
The alcohol that is being unused in the community is starting to impact the the community financially and so the community is | 00:05:00 | |
becoming aware of that and all this data that I'm going over right now is from the community survey and then I'll go over the | 00:05:06 | |
student survey, which is the strategies for success. | 00:05:12 | |
Working surveys come from they come from the Office of Substance Abuse and Prevention. | 00:05:18 | |
From the state the. | 00:05:23 | |
The primary office that. | 00:05:26 | |
Funds our our provides our grant funding and then also does other funding for like scope and a few other places like the DFC and | 00:05:29 | |
other entities that are in town. | 00:05:34 | |
And and these graphs are only for Socorro County. | 00:05:40 | |
These graphs are for the county, yes. | 00:05:44 | |
Current use of prescription painkillers use decreased from 17.6% to 10.9%. | 00:05:49 | |
And misuse decreased from 6.9% to 4%. | 00:05:55 | |
Among all respondents and from 39% to 36% among current users. | 00:05:59 | |
UH, perceived risk of harm associated with misusing prescription drugs increase. So again, more people becoming aware that | 00:06:05 | |
utilizing prescription drugs outside of their being prescribed to them for a specific reason. They're becoming aware that it's not | 00:06:12 | |
in their best interest to utilize prescription drugs when it's not prescribed to them. | 00:06:19 | |
Reported shares of prescription painkillers. | 00:06:26 | |
Decreased among parents to 5%. | 00:06:29 | |
Our lowest prevalence ever and among all adults as well, returning to COVID era levels from 6.1. | 00:06:33 | |
So you were gonna we see a drop from? | 00:06:40 | |
Prior to COVID and then COVID kind of came up a little bit and now it's it's starting to drop again. | 00:06:44 | |
And then reported locking of painkiller increased among parents. | 00:06:49 | |
From 52% to 61%. | 00:06:53 | |
I I hope to say that that's partly in. | 00:06:56 | |
Help with from us SPC and scope. | 00:07:00 | |
We and also the juvenile probation justice team, they provide lock boxes and we provide lock boxes for prescriptions. | 00:07:03 | |
Uh, free of charge to people who are requesting them. So we give them the lock box so that they can lock up their prescriptions. | 00:07:11 | |
Any other substances that you know are aren't of best interest for kids or anybody else. That's really the holder to get these | 00:07:17 | |
balls. They can contact scope I I. | 00:07:22 | |
I give mine to scope and they scope gives them out and also the Socorro juvenile Justice program will issue them as well. | 00:07:27 | |
How do they get that phone number? They can contact us scope and or I can they can go to our website or then go to scopes website? | 00:07:35 | |
Our website located at Socorro Prevention Coalition. | 00:07:43 | |
Dot com or they can go to our Facebook which is Umm Socorro County Prevention Coalition at Facebook and they can get our our | 00:07:47 | |
number from there and then they can also find scopes number on there as well. Thank you. | 00:07:53 | |
Yes. | 00:07:59 | |
And then the and it's not mentioned in here, but the project aware from the high school. | 00:08:01 | |
They umm. | 00:08:07 | |
Jackie Muncie is running the project to wear, and so at the health the Socorro Health Coalition has put together a. | 00:08:08 | |
Resource guide with entities in town. | 00:08:17 | |
That people can access for various reasons such as mental health, drug abuse. | 00:08:21 | |
And other needs such as food and and financial assistance and stuff like that, so that we could provide that. There's around like | 00:08:27 | |
500 total entries into that. | 00:08:32 | |
Document. | 00:08:39 | |
It includes medical as well as health and dental and other necessities that the community may need access to. | 00:08:39 | |
To be able to contact. | 00:08:46 | |
And they should share it pretty soon. I think they're completing it. | 00:08:49 | |
Relatively new. You may have not seen it. | 00:08:53 | |
Thank you. | 00:08:55 | |
Remember sound good? | 00:08:59 | |
Yeah. | 00:09:00 | |
Yes, Mr. | 00:09:02 | |
I'll, I'll let him finish then I've got a question. | 00:09:04 | |
OK, troubling findings from the 2023 Community Survey. | 00:09:10 | |
Current drinking increased for the second year from 53.4% to 58.4%. | 00:09:15 | |
And again, this is people who answer the survey anonymously. | 00:09:21 | |
And submit their answers. | 00:09:25 | |
UH perception of ease of teen access to alcohol in the community increased from 72% to 87%. | 00:09:27 | |
So parents and other community members feel like kids have easier access to alcohol and. | 00:09:34 | |
And whether they're getting it from family members or they're getting it from stores just selling alcohol, they they have the | 00:09:39 | |
perception that it. | 00:09:43 | |
They do have easier access than what they've had in the past. | 00:09:49 | |
Prevalence of receiving painkillers to in 2023 is 21.8%, which is similar to 2022. | 00:09:53 | |
Which was the highest ever at 22.8, so it has dropped. | 00:10:00 | |
A percentage. | 00:10:04 | |
But you know, percentage isn't a lot, so we we hope to continue to work towards prevention of using painkillers and and abstaining | 00:10:05 | |
from painkillers to see that drop more. | 00:10:11 | |
And people aged 26 to 30 were more most likely to have received a painkiller and were also the most likely to misuse them. | 00:10:17 | |
And a lot of that misuse is also perceived as. | 00:10:26 | |
I was prescribed A painkiller and then but I didn't use it all. | 00:10:29 | |
And now I I don't need it anymore. But then I take it every once in a while if I get a headache or something like that, that would | 00:10:33 | |
still be considered misuse. | 00:10:36 | |
And then fewer respondents report that health care staff talks to them and about. | 00:10:40 | |
The risk of using painkillers 55 that went from 55.8 to 40.9. | 00:10:45 | |
You know, somebody had a question. | 00:10:52 | |
Any questions? I had a question. | 00:10:54 | |
You said these numbers come from the. | 00:10:57 | |
Forms that were turned. | 00:11:01 | |
Back in my parents or by the students? | 00:11:03 | |
What percentage of students return the forms? So this form, this data that I'm presenting right now is the Community Health | 00:11:07 | |
Survey. This is for anybody that's 18 and older. | 00:11:12 | |
And the this percentages here was about the same as last year, it was a small percentage. | 00:11:17 | |
Last year we had like 194, this year we had like 135 people in the in the county participate in the survey. | 00:11:21 | |
So it's not a great representative of our county, but. | 00:11:29 | |
Like I said last year, I'm going to say it again this year. The survey is extensively long. | 00:11:33 | |
We don't add anything to the survey. | 00:11:38 | |
But we have to give the survey that OSEP has. We could add more if we wanted to. | 00:11:40 | |
But we we have to minimally give what this, what OSA. | 00:11:45 | |
Requires it, which is the the minimal questions that we have. | 00:11:49 | |
And we don't issue any other questions just because we know it's a long survey and to give people the complete it makes it kind of | 00:11:52 | |
hard in itself. | 00:11:56 | |
28 minute short shortened survey and we thought we'd get better short by turning our funding. Would like to fund survey so they | 00:12:01 | |
don't just yeah. | 00:12:05 | |
So there's 135 students. This is a, this is a community members. | 00:12:10 | |
Humanity members, these are 18 to. | 00:12:17 | |
18 year olds, old and and above. | 00:12:20 | |
That's who completes this survey. | 00:12:22 | |
And it's an online survey that's completed advertisement was put in the newspaper, advertisement was put with a water bills. | 00:12:25 | |
We even were able to advertise with the Roadrunner Food Bank as well as the Food Bank in. | 00:12:32 | |
Magdalena, so we could kind of get that out more. It was even extended because the state was seeing not a great completion rate. | 00:12:39 | |
So they it normally stops at the end of April. They actually pushed it to the second week of May. | 00:12:45 | |
And the numbers across the state were kind of low. | 00:12:51 | |
As far as number of people that actually answered. | 00:12:54 | |
Do anything in the Gita. | 00:12:58 | |
Umm. | 00:13:00 | |
I wasn't aware that Vegeta had its own watering water like. | 00:13:02 | |
Company So next year I will go to the water company and ask if we can put the put it with the water bill. | 00:13:07 | |
So that way we can make sure we get together and we can also again I didn't wasn't realized, didn't realize that Sonic San Antonio | 00:13:12 | |
had their own watering system too. So we plan to do the same thing there so we can get that out with them after them more. We did | 00:13:17 | |
it, like I said, we had it in the newspaper we had at the movie theater. | 00:13:22 | |
Umm. | 00:13:27 | |
I'm probably leaning away from most newspaper because most people don't use the newspaper nowadays. I want to try and get it out | 00:13:28 | |
in other ways. | 00:13:32 | |
So in using the water bills and using various other entities like the Roadrunner, Food Bank and some of the other food banks. | 00:13:35 | |
Hopefully we'll be able to get more participants next year. | 00:13:44 | |
People start serving up, finish it, yeah. | 00:13:48 | |
It's a lot of things, but he kind of gets it. | 00:13:52 | |
You have the. | 00:13:56 | |
14 minutes in the comment, but we did see people started. | 00:13:57 | |
Not completed. So again that's our suppliers and we shorten it, but we don't give me. | 00:14:01 | |
And the other. | 00:14:07 | |
The other thing we asked was could we split it up, not do it all at one time. | 00:14:09 | |
And they never really answered this and they still haven't answered this. So we we have a meeting next week that. | 00:14:12 | |
Hopefully the survey will come up and they'll and the small percentage of participants in the survey across the state. | 00:14:17 | |
Hopefully we can bring that up again and kind of. | 00:14:23 | |
Split it up and maybe do half and half. That way we have more participation and not such a long story because like Joel said it | 00:14:25 | |
takes about 30 minutes to complete if you're really putting some diligent effort and and reading all the questions and answering | 00:14:29 | |
it. | 00:14:34 | |
Diligently diligently. | 00:14:38 | |
The other questions. | 00:14:41 | |
Mr. Mayor, I actually have a couple. | 00:14:43 | |
Ohh, the bottom of page two says fewer respondents report the healthcare staff talked to them and about. | 00:14:47 | |
To them. And about the risk of using painkillers. So if the healthcare providers aren't doing it, who is? Does your group talk to | 00:14:52 | |
him? So we don't talk, We don't. Our system, our program is not a direct. | 00:14:58 | |
Service. It's an indirect service. So we do a lot of advertising on social media and we do. We recently added this past year we | 00:15:04 | |
added Catch My Breath to the to the school, the high school where we provide a a presentation at the health in the health class. | 00:15:11 | |
But we don't do direct service like scope does direct service. They do a lot of events and activities. | 00:15:19 | |
We'll do a lot of indirect where we put Baggies together, we hand out bags at like local football games or the basketball games. | 00:15:24 | |
And then we also do advertising in our social media. | 00:15:31 | |
Entities like these Facebook and Instagram. | 00:15:36 | |
You see the expression? | 00:15:41 | |
Equalizer. | 00:15:42 | |
There's a lot of people out there, but there's a need. | 00:15:43 | |
So. | 00:15:46 | |
And. | 00:15:47 | |
They would in turn do that for them. | 00:15:48 | |
The patients. | 00:15:51 | |
And the council was addressed, I think, at the last meeting about the Southern New Mexico Youth Advisory Board and they were. | 00:15:52 | |
Not happy that the youth center just shut down right now and they want and I received an e-mail over the weekend from their local. | 00:15:59 | |
President, I guess. | 00:16:06 | |
And they still want to provide some of the services that I know miss Muncie's compiling that list for. How do we get them access | 00:16:07 | |
to that? | 00:16:11 | |
Do they contact the health office or so that the for the the the document that Jackie Muncie put together? | 00:16:14 | |
It's going to be on a QR code and she's supposed to have it to me. | 00:16:22 | |
Hopefully by. | 00:16:26 | |
The end of this week and I can actually send that QR code to polo and we can get it out. | 00:16:27 | |
And then I was going to ask once it came out, if we could add the QR code to the city website. | 00:16:31 | |
Any other, umm, we're going to add it to our website, we're going to put it on our Facebook and. | 00:16:36 | |
Umm. | 00:16:41 | |
Instagram pages. | 00:16:42 | |
And if any other entities that we could possibly, you know get it to, the thoughts were also some people don't have access to | 00:16:43 | |
technology or don't have the means to use the technology using QR codes as we talked about, possibly making printed copies and | 00:16:48 | |
giving printed copies to certain areas. | 00:16:54 | |
But with it being like 55 pages and that's a double sided, we just gotta look to see what the cost is gonna be and then see how | 00:17:00 | |
many we could print and then who would be willing to kind of. | 00:17:05 | |
Hold on to those and hand them out as they. | 00:17:10 | |
As they were requested for. | 00:17:12 | |
Thank you, because I know that was part of Doctor Sharon Sessions 100% Community initiative also was to get those resources out to | 00:17:14 | |
people. | 00:17:17 | |
Yeah, they have a good job putting documents together for sure. | 00:17:22 | |
And the the one thing with the prescription drugs is we also. | 00:17:26 | |
Core like worked with Kelly Pharmacy. | 00:17:32 | |
And so we would give them documentation that they could put in the bags and and and send out. | 00:17:35 | |
We also provided some of the prescription medication where you can put the medication in a little like a bag and it'll harden up | 00:17:40 | |
and so you can dispose it properly and stuff like that with them closing down and not having a a pharmacy that will, you know, | 00:17:46 | |
engage with us and allow us to put out our, our, our information. | 00:17:52 | |
It's kind of hard. | 00:17:58 | |
Working with pharmacies. | 00:18:00 | |
So I think it comes back to social media just. | 00:18:01 | |
Talking to people and providing the bags that we do like it gains and various other events that we do. | 00:18:04 | |
Thank you. | 00:18:11 | |
Other questions? | 00:18:12 | |
Thank you for the presentation. You started Curiosity, who fund you the Office of Social Abuse and Prevention. | 00:18:13 | |
And that our money comes through the city and so we in turn our invoices any, any. | 00:18:21 | |
Invoices or reimbursements that we need, we turn it into Polo, Polo, process it and then we in turn process it with the state and | 00:18:27 | |
then they refund the the city. | 00:18:32 | |
Fiscal. | 00:18:38 | |
Yes. | 00:18:39 | |
OK. Just curious. Thank you so very much. I have all the other data, y'all may go over it. Y'all wanna. | 00:18:41 | |
I have some in the next couple of slides or some data and it's kind of broken down and just. | 00:18:48 | |
Data that you can look at. It's pretty much the same data we had last year or in April, but with the updated information for the | 00:18:54 | |
new survey that was just completed. | 00:18:58 | |
So the first graph is the alcohol related measures. | 00:19:03 | |
And you're going to see that that's where the the current drinking has gone up just a little bit. | 00:19:07 | |
It was 53.4% from the 2022 survey and now it's at 55.2%. | 00:19:12 | |
Binge drinking also went up from 26% to 28.4%. | 00:19:20 | |
And then binge drinking all respondents. | 00:19:25 | |
Went from 15.5% to 15.7%, so you did see alcohol kind of increase. | 00:19:30 | |
And it's still lower than what it was during the COVID time, but it it's slightly going up again. | 00:19:37 | |
Providing alcohol to minors. | 00:19:46 | |
You are going to see slight decreases. | 00:19:48 | |
Adults providing alcohol to minors in the past year. | 00:19:51 | |
Uh, the first graph is for adults. | 00:19:54 | |
And you see a slight decrease from 4.7% to 4.5%. | 00:19:57 | |
And then and the blue is last year 22, the red is this year's, this past year, the 23 survey that just occurred and then what you | 00:20:03 | |
really see a decrease in is that's where the parents becoming aware of. | 00:20:09 | |
Alcohol not being good for the kids. | 00:20:16 | |
Is that from 7.4% down to 4.1%? | 00:20:18 | |
So there was a a drastic decrease in apparents providing alcohol and those who report parents that they were provide alcohol to | 00:20:23 | |
their children. | 00:20:27 | |
OK. | 00:20:33 | |
He's of access to community consequences for alcohol use. | 00:20:35 | |
And these are. | 00:20:39 | |
Is it very easy or somewhat easy for teens to access alcohol in the community? And this is where that perception comes back in | 00:20:40 | |
from the community? | 00:20:44 | |
You're going to see the pink line is the 2023 data and you're going to see that it did increase. | 00:20:47 | |
From 72.7% to 86.4%. | 00:20:53 | |
Now when you compare it to the 2021 data it is still lower but. | 00:20:58 | |
We did have a large increase. | 00:21:02 | |
From last year to this year's data. | 00:21:05 | |
And then the other portion of the graph, drinking hurts my community. | 00:21:07 | |
This is the perceived understanding that the city starts to understand that. | 00:21:11 | |
Drinking is hurting our community and so we did see an increase and that is a positive increase of 75.9. It went from 70.7. The | 00:21:16 | |
community community identified that. | 00:21:20 | |
Drinking does have a negative impact on the community, especially financially, and so 75.9% of the community is now seeing that | 00:21:25 | |
they feel like there is a financial impact. | 00:21:30 | |
To the community. | 00:21:36 | |
Question mark. | 00:21:40 | |
Perception of enforcement of alcohol related laws. | 00:21:42 | |
Umm. | 00:21:46 | |
20/21 was a very large. | 00:21:47 | |
Uh, perception of? | 00:21:50 | |
Lack of police. | 00:21:52 | |
The community feeling like the police are gonna do something about alcohol, especially when it came to minors drinking alcohol. It | 00:21:54 | |
was at 55.8% then last year, the community reported. | 00:21:59 | |
At 28.9 has slightly come back up to 30.3 so. | 00:22:05 | |
As of 2023 data. | 00:22:10 | |
The community 30.3% of the community feels like the police will arrest an adult for providing alcohol to minors. | 00:22:12 | |
Umm. | 00:22:20 | |
The police will break up underage parties. | 00:22:21 | |
That's at 37.9%. It did drop a little bit. | 00:22:24 | |
Last year they the community felt like 38.2% felt like they would break up parties. | 00:22:29 | |
It dropped slightly to 37.9. | 00:22:35 | |
And then the last one, being stuck stopped for driving after drinking too much. | 00:22:38 | |
The perception did increase from compared to last year. Last year the community felt like. | 00:22:44 | |
53.9% for like the police would stop you and and arrest you for drinking under the influence. Now they report at 58.4% So that's a | 00:22:49 | |
positive community seeing that they feel like they. | 00:22:56 | |
That the police will arrest people for drinking and driving. | 00:23:02 | |
I can't believe that there's people out there that think that they won't get arrested for drinking and driving. | 00:23:07 | |
You know this is? | 00:23:14 | |
They're willing to. It's like gambling. They're willing to gamble until they finally get caught. | 00:23:15 | |
So unfortunately. | 00:23:19 | |
Question What? | 00:23:23 | |
Like have you guys talked about like the numbers and everything and how much do you think these are like skewed or big number | 00:23:26 | |
changes or because of like you know COVID and people getting out again and stuff like that or maybe more money from? | 00:23:31 | |
Stimulus, I see a lot about this and there's all these different thoughts out there. Have you guys talked about that? So there's | 00:23:38 | |
no data that asks about like what are you using to buy your alcohol like that for? There is that data that shows if you look at | 00:23:43 | |
the 2020 and 2021 data, you're going to see where that's the COVID years. | 00:23:48 | |
In the COVID time, you're going to see where that kind of increased. | 00:23:54 | |
And then they're going to see where it starts to decrease and then increase again. Some of it has to do with, I really think some | 00:23:58 | |
of it has to do with. | 00:24:01 | |
Prior to COVID, we had a larger number of people participating in the survey and then COVID was a small amount. So that's why | 00:24:04 | |
those numbers were bigger. So the people that did respond kind of had. | 00:24:09 | |
The the numbers that increased. | 00:24:14 | |
The negative responses to for the 2020 and 2021 year. | 00:24:17 | |
And then last year we only had 194 and then this year we had 135 or 34. So that's a big factor also is the. | 00:24:23 | |
The small number of people responding to the survey, that's gonna that's gonna be a huge factor. You're going to see in a minute. | 00:24:31 | |
We go through the data for the kids, which is the strategies for success. We had more kids participate in the surveys than we did | 00:24:36 | |
adults participate in the community survey. | 00:24:40 | |
And so if we could increase the number of people participating in the survey? | 00:24:46 | |
Again, whether they take the survey, the full survey and spend 25 to 30 minutes or we hopefully get a split in in two. | 00:24:51 | |
That would help our numbers, but. | 00:24:58 | |
The ultimately getting a better idea is gonna be getting a better poll of the the population. | 00:25:01 | |
And that population includes. | 00:25:06 | |
Socorro Vegeta, San Antonio Limitar and then also Magdalena and Navajo Alamo So. | 00:25:08 | |
That those numbers are significantly missing now. Last year during the 2022, we did not get anybody from Magdalena to participate. | 00:25:18 | |
If they did, they saw it like in the newspaper or something like that. | 00:25:25 | |
This year we were able to reach out and get a lot of. | 00:25:32 | |
Of little Flyers since through the. | 00:25:37 | |
Food bank and then also sent through the city and stuff like that like we did here. So and we hope to continue to do that and and | 00:25:40 | |
again increase our numbers hopefully. | 00:25:45 | |
The next part of data is the student data. This was given to. | 00:25:52 | |
All the students that parents were willing to allow participate at that were at the high school. | 00:25:56 | |
At the middle school at Cottonwood. | 00:26:01 | |
And also Magdalena. | 00:26:04 | |
High school and middle school. | 00:26:07 | |
And so, and at the very end I have the breakdown of numbers from each school. | 00:26:08 | |
This focused on E cigarettes, drinking alcohol and also mental health. Some of the highlights were e-cigarrete use decreased for | 00:26:14 | |
high school youth. | 00:26:18 | |
From 26.5% to 21.9%. | 00:26:23 | |
Marijuana use decreased slightly for middle school youth from 2012.9% to 1220.2. | 00:26:27 | |
To 11.4%. | 00:26:34 | |
So. | 00:26:37 | |
And then students offer resiliency factors, such as wanting to take care of their health and to protect their future plans as | 00:26:38 | |
reasons for not drinking or using other substances. | 00:26:42 | |
More than 80% of the students have an adult who believes they will be successful and at least one. | 00:26:47 | |
Friend their own age? Who cares about them? Both powerful protective factors, students generally believe. | 00:26:53 | |
With that 90%, their parents think it is wrong for them to use alcohol, marijuana, E cigarettes. | 00:26:59 | |
Which is a strong protective factor. | 00:27:04 | |
Perception of harm for using most substances increased among middle school youth. | 00:27:07 | |
And past years sadness and hopelessness. | 00:27:12 | |
And suicidal ideation decreased slightly from 20 in 2023 after several years of increase. | 00:27:15 | |
And then I have a couple graphs for you to look at. | 00:27:24 | |
Thank you. | 00:27:28 | |
Ohh, I'm sorry. | 00:27:30 | |
I I was just thinking about what you said earlier about me, like y'all can add to the survey. | 00:27:31 | |
I don't know how much this would be. I know for the mental health aspect. | 00:27:37 | |
Because I see that a lot. | 00:27:41 | |
But. | 00:27:42 | |
Is there a way to ask questions like maybe? I mean, it's hard for some of our young people like at least to take a step back and | 00:27:44 | |
think about how they are, but. | 00:27:48 | |
I don't know like like cell phone or smartphone usage like. | 00:27:53 | |
Like a question like how? | 00:27:57 | |
How would you feel if your if your phone was removed from you for a day or some question that would like where they could respond | 00:28:00 | |
to that? | 00:28:03 | |
And then maybe tie that to like some mental health stuff because. | 00:28:06 | |
Honestly, like some of the stuff that like the issues that we see, I mean, we've got a lot of coaches here and we've got a lot of | 00:28:09 | |
like educators and so many of the issues that we see stem from something on social media. | 00:28:15 | |
Stems from like somebody thinking they've got to be somebody they're not. | 00:28:21 | |
And like that can steer like some of this mental health stuff. | 00:28:25 | |
Like. | 00:28:29 | |
Man, they, I mean, I don't want to say way worse than the things are on that list. Those are serious. But yeah, we might have like | 00:28:30 | |
have something a lot more serious than that. Just what I see. Is there a way to throw it in questions like that that? | 00:28:35 | |
That can get down to the root of that and see if that guys with some of these issues too. So there are mental health so. | 00:28:41 | |
The SFS, which is the strategy for success, and that's what we're talking about now for the kids, there are mental health | 00:28:46 | |
questions. | 00:28:49 | |
That not specifically asked about like if I take your cell phone away, but they do ask mental health questions about how often do | 00:28:52 | |
you feel depressed, how often do you feel like you have anxiety, do you feel like you know you feel like you would commit suicide | 00:28:57 | |
or or various questions like that. And so in the the full report that I gave you, you'll be able to see the breakdown of the | 00:29:02 | |
different types of questions. | 00:29:08 | |
And you'll be able to see the percentage of responses for all those questions. But it does ask. It asks more mental health | 00:29:14 | |
questions than the Community Health Survey does. | 00:29:18 | |
You're you're you're getting the correlation of. | 00:29:23 | |
Depression leading to substance abuse. Like I would say if, if, if we could find out if kids are on their phone more than five | 00:29:26 | |
hours a day, what's the percentage? | 00:29:31 | |
Godly. I bet you that being 90% or what? | 00:29:36 | |
Like, you know. | 00:29:40 | |
And and a lot of the stuff they're seeing and doing. I mean, yeah, I see it as a big issue. I see a lot of problems arising | 00:29:41 | |
because of that. | 00:29:45 | |
Please bring up two with. | 00:29:48 | |
Jackie knows 13 because they're really they're they're funding is 4 into one stuff. | 00:29:50 | |
Not that. | 00:29:57 | |
Trying to help those things, but jacking them really put them both in person. | 00:29:59 | |
About those things and what they're doing in high school, trying to. | 00:30:05 | |
Make kids aware of their mental health and advocating to talk to people. | 00:30:09 | |
And so I think that's what we can bring up. We're always gonna be together with Jackie. We'll definitely offer the sentiment | 00:30:14 | |
material. | 00:30:17 | |
You're. | 00:30:21 | |
There's a lot of asking those questions. We can pass that along to you because she that that's me and good for her for sure, but | 00:30:22 | |
it's not to us. But I think they can tighten up the work very easily. | 00:30:26 | |
Within the group. | 00:30:30 | |
Thank you. | 00:30:33 | |
In your opening statement you said these results. | 00:30:35 | |
Hanging from the surveys that were returned to you. | 00:30:39 | |
That the students were allowed to return them by their parents. | 00:30:44 | |
So how many students actually returned the survey? If you go to and we can jump to that if you like. If you go to the very last | 00:30:51 | |
page. | 00:30:54 | |
You're going to see that. | 00:31:00 | |
We had over 500. | 00:31:02 | |
Umm. | 00:31:04 | |
Students participate in the survey between. | 00:31:05 | |
So, Coral High Saracino. | 00:31:08 | |
Cottonwood and Magdalena Middle School High School. We had over 500 kids participate. | 00:31:11 | |
Much better than the adults, Yes, Very much, very. | 00:31:16 | |
Much better. It's actually it's 570 so you can see the breakdown. The first table tells you that. | 00:31:19 | |
Uh. | 00:31:24 | |
Every student that was in six through 8th grade at Cottonwood participated. I think there was one student that was absent. | 00:31:25 | |
When they did it. | 00:31:31 | |
But 49 kids participated at Saracino, 167 kids participated. | 00:31:32 | |
At the high school, 229 kids participated, at Magdalena High, 61 participated, and at Magdalena, I'm sorry, Middle school and | 00:31:39 | |
Magdalena High, 64 kids participated. | 00:31:44 | |
And so. | 00:31:49 | |
Every kid at Magdalena also participated. I think he Chris Backstrom and told me that maybe one or two kids. | 00:31:52 | |
Weren't there the whole week that when they were doing that but? | 00:31:59 | |
Majority, like more than 90% of their kids participated at the at Magdalena between middle school and high school. | 00:32:02 | |
Mostly teachers allowed us to. | 00:32:08 | |
Go to class and interact with the kid. | 00:32:11 | |
And help with the. | 00:32:15 | |
We don't use some of our stuff as a grade, right? | 00:32:17 | |
And this The girl loves to do the presentation there, so it helped engage the kids to where it was worth something for them to do | 00:32:20 | |
it. | 00:32:24 | |
Because we asked to do but they got rid of. | 00:32:29 | |
Go ahead. | 00:32:33 | |
Good to learn that's not the aggregated data. | 00:32:34 | |
And they have the report, yeah, I sent. | 00:32:37 | |
The report and public and get those two. You have the you have the full report for the support, the the community survey as well | 00:32:41 | |
as the strategies for success. So there. | 00:32:46 | |
And then I know I'm going. I'm rambling. I'm going to go ahead and jump to my last. | 00:32:51 | |
Bing. | 00:32:57 | |
And get to it. Just catch my breath. It's something new. This is our direct service. | 00:32:58 | |
Everything else is indirect with pamphlets and Flyers and posting stuff on social media and. | 00:33:02 | |
The catch? My breath is our direct service and this is where we go into the high school and we provide. | 00:33:09 | |
Anti vaping presentations to the health classes at the high school. It usually takes about three classes to get it done. | 00:33:16 | |
And so we picked three days to do it, and we. | 00:33:23 | |
We had in the fall we. | 00:33:29 | |
Met with 65 students who participated in the health class. | 00:33:31 | |
There were 3-4 health classes in the fall and three health classes in the spring. | 00:33:35 | |
And then we had 54 kids who participated in the spring. | 00:33:39 | |
And so we're we're. | 00:33:42 | |
Primary trying to hit all those freshmen coming in. | 00:33:44 | |
And then we do have a mix of sophomores, juniors, seniors who maybe didn't have health before they. | 00:33:47 | |
You know when they were freshmen that they have to take it back and so we're hitting those kids. Our hopes are that we can we will | 00:33:53 | |
get funded so we can add catch my Breath to the middle school. | 00:33:58 | |
At this moment in time we haven't been told whether we got the funding or not. | 00:34:03 | |
But once we know, I'll let Polo know. | 00:34:06 | |
And then we hope to be able to add Catch My Breath to the middle school. | 00:34:10 | |
And we would like to. | 00:34:14 | |
Present that to and every different presentation. Same concept, different presentation to the 6th graders so that way they saw it | 00:34:16 | |
when they were 6th grade. | 00:34:19 | |
And then by the time they got the 9th grade, they'd see it again. Three years later and hopefully we can deter students from | 00:34:22 | |
utilizing vaping and other tobacco products. | 00:34:27 | |
Other questions from the Council. | 00:34:33 | |
Mr. Milner. | 00:34:37 | |
Sorry. | 00:34:38 | |
Thank you. Thank you for the time and we appreciate it. | 00:34:40 | |
Have a great day before we go to the next item. | 00:34:45 | |
From last the Council and. | 00:34:49 | |
Mr. Monett on. | 00:34:51 | |
Prophetic form is supposed to be for less than 5 minutes. | 00:34:54 | |
Yes, if this ever comes up again, we need to move it to an item. | 00:34:57 | |
Fair enough. Is that alright with everybody? | 00:35:02 | |
Yeah. | 00:35:05 | |
The next one that Chris is there, Mr. Mayor Kim. | 00:35:07 | |
We have a couple in the audience still under public forum. | 00:35:09 | |
Ohh, OK. I'm sorry. | 00:35:13 | |
That's fine. | 00:35:16 | |
Thank you. | 00:35:26 | |
YouTube. | 00:35:27 | |
Ready. | 00:35:28 | |
Ready to go. It was 101 degrees. | 00:35:32 | |
But all the kids finished. | 00:35:35 | |
These are the head. | 00:35:42 | |
Umm. | 00:35:45 | |
Bring a couple of items to your attention. Obviously it's a huge community effort. I think the city of Socorro where their | 00:35:47 | |
sponsorship in terms of city police presence, EMS. | 00:35:52 | |
And they also provide larger stacks for short Switch are on order for all of you as well. Everybody signs up at the last second. | 00:35:57 | |
So it's really hard to plan for T-shirts. And so we have a 2nd order coming and those I will bring later, but there are New Mexico | 00:36:05 | |
Tech, NRO local businesses. And then most importantly to me, over 60 volunteers come out just before this event. That's more than | 00:36:12 | |
the number of kids participating. But it takes a lot because there are a lot of driveways around Tech campus. | 00:36:20 | |
That I want to make sure I'm monitored for the safety of the kids on the bike. So it's a swim bike run for youth 7 to 14 and this | 00:36:27 | |
was the we say I say 13th annual ish. | 00:36:34 | |
And since there was a break during COVID, but it was, it's great to be back the second year in a row. Last year we were not able | 00:36:41 | |
to finish because of a freak thunderstorm. So this year all those younger kids finally got to actually cross the finish line and | 00:36:45 | |
they were really happy about that. | 00:36:50 | |
And so not only were there a lot of volunteers that included the high schools cross country team and the high school swim team. | 00:36:55 | |
A bunch of the volunteers have been past participants of the youth triathlon, which is really exciting to see them come back and | 00:37:02 | |
give back and give back to the community in that way. | 00:37:06 | |
And you have 43 kids start and finish. What was super exciting to me, 25 or almost 60% were from Socorro County and that's always | 00:37:11 | |
been my goal is to bump up that local participation rate. I mean, I love when families come down from Albuquerque, that's great | 00:37:16 | |
for Socorro, but. | 00:37:21 | |
I do this for the kids who are here and providing new opportunities that they will. | 00:37:27 | |
Likely. | 00:37:33 | |
Reach for other places. So that was very exciting to me. And then another new thing was that four of the kids who participated | 00:37:34 | |
Friday night went to bed, woke up and then participated as part of a relay team with the next morning during the adult race. So | 00:37:41 | |
they did it back-to-back and they most grown-ups didn't do that. So to see them kind of like expand their horizons and say Oh well | 00:37:47 | |
like now I'll take it to the next level and and to do both in the same weekend was really fun. | 00:37:54 | |
And the cross country team was there at the water station and we just had a ton of local participation. And Mike Harmon, future | 00:38:02 | |
Louise. | 00:38:05 | |
Excuse me, we'll report on the adult race. That was Saturday morning, but. | 00:38:10 | |
I just want to thank the City of Squirrel for your continued support. I plan to be back next year. The planning will start in | 00:38:14 | |
January and thank you. | 00:38:19 | |
Thank you. I appreciate all that you do and your you're doing some good stuff. Everybody knows my grandson was in on it too. He | 00:38:25 | |
was the head swimming. | 00:38:30 | |
So thank you for all you do. | 00:38:34 | |
Can you give us a name and? | 00:38:37 | |
I'm there with Contractor, race director for the other triathlon. I also want to say thank you. | 00:38:41 | |
Like the resources you provide the for the shirts. | 00:38:47 | |
Attend the theater, workers. All that keeps our athletes safe and makes a. | 00:38:50 | |
Provide several quality event and like professional event we had over 177 participants. | 00:38:57 | |
One of 25 of them were from Socorro. | 00:39:04 | |
140 were from New Mexico. | 00:39:07 | |
So we have people coming all also from our state from Florida and Michigan. | 00:39:10 | |
Just calling for a triathlon because this is a USAT sanction event. | 00:39:15 | |
People from our state come here. | 00:39:19 | |
And the goal for next year is as. | 00:39:22 | |
Seem a little bit. Increased local participation, 25 external low numbers. Hopefully we can get more local. | 00:39:24 | |
Participation, but on the other hand. | 00:39:30 | |
It's amazing to see me like all the volunteers are locals, you know, faculty, local teams. | 00:39:32 | |
Committee members, club look clubs from Tech, so we get a lot of support from the community and I think that makes. | 00:39:39 | |
Even you being seen like all the community coming together to support. | 00:39:48 | |
To support all these athletes. | 00:39:52 | |
So thank you so much then. | 00:39:53 | |
Yeah, next year we are gonna. | 00:39:55 | |
Try to provide a better event for everybody. Thank you so very much. Thank you. | 00:39:57 | |

Also interviewed the headlines real quick. | 00:41:10 | |

Questions. | 00:41:30 | |
I'll make a motion to accept that motion. Do we have a second? Second. Second. | 00:41:32 | |
Any discussion? | 00:41:39 | |
I'm hearing on paper. | 00:41:41 | |
Motion passes. | 00:41:44 | |
OK. Any new business? | 00:41:47 | |
Wow. | 00:41:50 | |
And the whole business. | 00:41:51 | |
Peter. | 00:41:53 | |
Ohh Peter. | 00:41:54 | |
Listener. | 00:41:58 | |
Concerning the coral cast. | 00:41:59 | |
I know that the city. | 00:42:03 | |
Contributes dollars and. | 00:42:05 | |
Services towards Socorro Fast. | 00:42:08 | |
And I've had questions. | 00:42:11 | |
From businesses and local musicians. | 00:42:13 | |
Wanting to know if any of the monies. | 00:42:17 | |
Um. | 00:42:20 | |
That. | 00:42:22 | |
Socorro Fast pass. | 00:42:23 | |
Goes to. | 00:42:25 | |
Is this? | 00:42:28 | |
That might perform in in various. | 00:42:30 | |
Businesses. | 00:42:33 | |
Does that happen? Does anybody know? | 00:42:34 | |
Or or who do we ask? | 00:42:38 | |
Hi, Peter. | 00:42:41 | |
Yes. So as the years have gone on and in doing so, Coral Fest. | 00:42:43 | |
We have so many local musicians in Socorro that want to play. | 00:42:49 | |
And um. | 00:42:54 | |
We just don't have enough spots, so if we were just going to have one stage. | 00:42:56 | |
Nobody would get to play. So what we have done over the years, we we added stages. For example, we had one in front of City Hall. | 00:43:01 | |
We had extra tents at the time. We no longer have extra tents. | 00:43:10 | |
To create another state. So what we've kind of done over the years. | 00:43:14 | |
Is we have used the capital bar as one of the stages. | 00:43:18 | |
So the capital bar. | 00:43:23 | |
Basically pays for the expensive bans. Basically the the one that plays at the end of the night, the more expensive bands she pays | 00:43:25 | |
for the. | 00:43:30 | |
Sound system that happens at the cap. | 00:43:36 | |
And then we do end up paying and I don't know if it's city, it's a coral pain, it's New Mexico Tech. We get money from New Mexico | 00:43:39 | |
Tech. So we typically try to use New Mexico tax money. | 00:43:44 | |
To pay for some of that entertainment that we use at the at the capital bar as our as our second stage. | 00:43:50 | |
OK, so who's the contact person in case the business? | 00:43:59 | |
Or a local band. | 00:44:04 | |
Might want to get some information that they can probably contact Ronna who who generally does the contracts with all the local | 00:44:07 | |
musicians because she you know, she knows all of them or they can call Desiree. | 00:44:14 | |
OK. | 00:44:22 | |
Who's our tourism director? Thank you very much. | 00:44:23 | |
Questions on that. | 00:44:27 | |
OK and. | 00:44:30 | |
Old business. | 00:44:33 | |
Anybody need one regular session? | 00:44:36 | |
There's another report out. We don't have to measure, report. | 00:44:40 | |
I don't like to, I guess. In fact I was out of town, but I found out later that Megalina lost their electricity. | 00:44:47 | |
And Councillor Deborah Dean. | 00:44:55 | |
Umm. | 00:44:58 | |
Offered her ice machine truck to go up there and help him out. So councillors, thank you very much for that. | 00:44:59 | |
That's what small communities are for When? | 00:45:06 | |
People can pull together like that because they definitely needed something. | 00:45:10 | |
For not only everything, but I mean cold. Everything needs to be frozen. | 00:45:16 | |
That's very long, so thank you. | 00:45:21 | |
