          [ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT]
ALL RIGHT. AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT. THE FIRST ISSUE WE HAVE IS THE HISPANIC INTEREST COALITION OF ALABAMA. WE HAVE JEFF CREDIT FROM THE COUNTY HERE TO ADDRESS THAT. GOOD MORNING EVERYBODY. GOOD MORNING. MORNING, JEFF. SO BEFORE US TODAY ARE TWO FUNDING PROPOSALS. 
          AS YOU ARE AWARE, WE UTILIZE ABOUT 10% OF OUR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT FUND EVERY YEAR TO SUPPORT ORGANIZATIONS THAT FURTHER OUR GOALS IN ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT. ONE OF THOSE BIG GOALS IS THE SUPPORT OF SMALL BUSINESS. IN THE PREVIOUS COUPLE OF YEARS, WE'VE SUPPORTED SEVERAL ORGANIZATIONS TO LEARN HOW BUSINESS RESOURCE CENTER, CENTRAL ALABAMA REDEVELOPMENT ALLIANCE, AND THE HISPANIC COMMUNITY CENTER OF ALABAMA TO SUPPORT THEIR SMALL BUSINESS INITIATIVES WITHIN THE COUNTY. RECENTLY, WE RENEWED A SERVICE CONTRACT WITH BIRMINGHAM BUSINESS RESOURCE CENTER. AND BECAUSE OF THE WAY THESE CONTRACTS ARE KIND OF STAGGERED ON THEIR START DATES, WE ARE NOW REINTRODUCING ERA AND JICA'S PROPOSALS. FIRST UP IS A RENEWAL PROPOSAL FROM KCB. JICA HAS DONE A VERY GOOD JOB HERE OVER THE PAST SEVERAL YEARS, AND THEIR WORK WITHIN THE COUNTY, AND HAS DONE PROJECTS IN A NUMBER OF CITIES ACROSS THE COUNTY. ASIDE FROM OPERATING BUSINESS ADVISORY CLASSES, PROVIDING TRAINING FOR PEOPLE THAT ARE LOOKING TO START THEIR SMALL BUSINESSES. THEY ALSO OPERATE THE SMALL BUSINESS REVOLVING LOAN FUND. THEY'VE BEEN VERY DILIGENT ON THEIR REPORTING, AND THEIR ACTIVITIES HAVE BEEN VERY GOOD. COUNTY HERE TODAY WITH US IS CARLO ALLAMAN, WHO OVERSEES JICA. AND CARLOS, I'LL LET YOU COME UP AND ASK YOU TO MAYBE GIVE US A BRIEF RECAP OF WHAT Y'ALL SEEN IN 2025 AND CLOSING. SURE. GOOD MORNING EVERYONE. THANK YOU FOR HAVING US HERE TODAY. THANK YOU. YOU KNOW, I THINK THAT WHAT WE HAVE REALLY SEEN IS THAT WHEN WE INVEST IN OUR SMALL BUSINESS OWNERS. RIGHT, RIGHT. I THINK THAT GIVEN THE ECONOMIC STATE OF OUR STATE, CITIES, COUNTY, COUNTRY, WE WANT TO DO EVERYTHING WE CAN TO HELP EMPOWER ENTREPRENEURS TO LIFT THEMSELVES UP. AND SO WE ARE WORKING WITH CITIES ACROSS THE JEFFERSON COUNTY TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE LIFTING UP. SO LIKE JEFF SAID, WE HAVE BEEN ABLE TO HAVE CLASSES THAT FOCUS ON WOMEN IN TERMS OF ENTREPRENEURSHIP, MAKING SURE THAT THEY ARE ABLE TO SUPPORT THEMSELVES AND THEIR FAMILIES. WE'RE ALSO ABLE TO HELP ALSO ALL MANNER OF FOLKS. AND THE CITY THAT JEFF MENTIONED IS, OF COURSE, OPEN TO EVERYONE. AND WE HAVE A 98% REPAYMENT RATE. 
          [00:05:04]
WE ONLY HAVE ONE DEFAULT 99 LOANS, AND WE DEPLOYED OVER $1 MILLION. AND THESE FUNDS DON'T GO TOWARDS OUR LOANS, BUT THEY HELP US IDENTIFY ENTREPRENEURS THAT CAN BE SUCCESSFUL WHEN APPLYING FOR LOANS. AND SO WE JUST APPRECIATE THE EFFORT TO SUPPORT OUR COMMUNITY MEMBERS AND OUR ENTREPRENEURS. ANY QUESTIONS? THANK YOU SIR. THANK YOU. MR. CRAIG. WE ALSO HAVE ONE FROM CENTRAL ALABAMA REDEVELOPMENT ALLIANCE. THAT IS RIGHT, WHICH MY PAPERWORK AROUND HERE. Y'ALL NEED TO TAKE ANY ACTION ON THAT. WE DON'T LIKE DOING BOTH. IF IT'S HIS PLEASURE. THEN THE PROPOSAL WE HAVE IS A PROPOSAL FROM THE CENTRAL ALABAMA REDEVELOPMENT ALLIANCE, ALSO KNOWN AS KARA. FUNDING AMOUNT WOULD BE THE SAME AMOUNT, 150,000. VERY SIMILAR ASSISTANCE THAT THEY PROVIDE TO THE COMMUNITY. THEY FOCUS ON MICRO AND SMALL BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT, CAPACITY BUILDING WITH SMALL BUSINESSES. AND OVER THE YEARS THEY HOST WORKSHOPS, ONE ON ONE ADVISORY AND HELP WITH RESOURCE NAVIGATION AND COMMUNITY. SO CONNECTING PEOPLE WITH FINANCIAL RESOURCES AND THAT SORT. MOST OF THE COMPANIES THEY TARGET ARE EARLY STAGE AND GROWTH STAGE BUSINESSES AND COMMUNITY, AND THE PROPOSAL THEY'RE LOOKING AT FOR THIS NEXT YEAR WILL EXPAND UPON WHAT THEY'VE DONE IN PREVIOUS YEARS. 
          WITH US HERE TODAY TO SPEAK ON BEHALF OF KAREN, TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. AND SAMUEL KELLY, HE IS AN ADVISORY BOARD MEMBER FOR KARA, AND WITH HIM IS A GUEST, TIFFANY STRAYHORN. SHE IS ACTUALLY A PREVIOUS PARTICIPANT IN KARA'S WORKSHOPS. AND THROUGH THEIR ASSISTANCE, SHE HAS ACTUALLY BEEN ABLE TO START TWO SMALL BUSINESSES HERE IN THE COUNTY. SO SHE'S HERE TO SPEAK ON HER EXPERIENCE WITH HER. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS AT THIS POINT, I'LL ASK SAM PHILLIP. SAM, IF YOU WOULD JUST MAYBE GIVE US A RECAP OF LAST YEAR AND WHAT YOU'RE LOOKING AT FOR. GOOD MORNING EVERYBODY. MY NAME IS SAMUEL KELLY. I'M THE CHIEF OPERATING OFFICER FOR SABER FINANCE. WE'RE HERE IN BIRMINGHAM THAT WORKS WITH SMALL BUSINESS OWNERS IN THE FORM OF LENDING CAPITAL AS WELL AS TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE. SO WE WORK WITH A LOT OF SMALL BUSINESS SUPPORT ORGANIZATIONS, AND KARA CONTINUALLY IS THE ONE THAT GETS THE MOST RESOURCE RESULTS FOR OUR BORROWERS. TIFFANY IS GOING TO BE A GREAT STORY TO BE ABLE TO SHARE THAT. 
          BUT A LOT OF TIMES WHEN BORROWERS AND SMALL BUSINESS OWNERS GO INTO THESE COHORTS, THEY GO INTO THESE PROGRAMS, THEY HAVE A CLEAR GOAL AND A CLEAR SET OF OBJECTIVES, AND THEY'RE ACTUALLY ACHIEVING THEM AT THE END OF IT. SO WHETHER THAT'S EXPANDING THE BUSINESS, THAT'S STARTING THE BUSINESS, THAT'S GOING INTO BRICK AND MORTAR OR GETTING A CONTRACT, THEY'RE DOING THAT. AND IT'S BECAUSE THAT KARA FOCUSES ON OPERATIONAL SYSTEMS AS WELL AS LEADERSHIP CAPACITY, FINANCIAL READINESS, AND STRATEGY. SO THEY'RE GIVING THEM THE TOOLS TO BE ABLE TO ACHIEVE THEIR GOALS. FROM A NUMBERS PERSPECTIVE, KARA'S RECENT OUTCOMES, THEY SERVED OVER 383 SMALL BUSINESSES. AND THAT'S JUST NOT GETTING PEOPLE IN A ROOM TO TALK. AND THEN THOSE ARE INDIVIDUAL TOUCHES AND VERY MEANINGFUL CONTACT WITH THEM. 
          THEY 43 BUSINESSES RECEIVED INDIVIDUALIZED MENTORSHIP OF A MORE EXTENSIVE LEVEL, MORE THAN $3 MILLION IN REVENUE IMPACT, AND OVER 20 JOBS CREATED. SO JUST THE WORK THAT KARA DOES, I THINK IT REALLY STANDS OUT IN A VERY CROWDED ENTREPRENEURSHIP ECOSYSTEM. WE WORK WITH A LOT OF REALLY GREAT A REALLY GOOD SERVICE PROVIDERS AND PARENTS IS VERY GREAT IN WHAT THEY DO JUST BECAUSE OF THE IMPACT OF RESOURCES. THANK YOU. TIFFANY, WOULD YOU LIKE TO MAYBE TAKE A MOMENT JUST TO SPEAK ABOUT YOUR EXPERIENCE? JUST TO GIVE A SHOUT OUT OR TWO TO BUSINESSES YOU. GOOD MORNING. GOOD MORNING. I'M THINKING I HAVE A SMALL BUSINESS OWNER IN JEFFERSON COUNTY. I WANT TO TAKE A MOMENT, A COUPLE OF MOMENTS TO SHARE WHAT KARA HAS MEANT TO ME PERSONALLY AND PROFESSIONALLY. AS A SMALL BUSINESS OWNER, SOMETIMES WHAT YOU NEED MOST IS NOT JUST INFORMATION. YOU NEED GUIDANCE, STRATEGY, ACCOUNTABILITY, RELATIONSHIPS, AND SOMEBODY WHO REALLY, TRULY BELIEVES THAT YOUR BUSINESS CAN GROW. THAT'S WHAT I EXPERIENCED WITH KARA THROUGH THEIR MENTORSHIP WORKSHOPS AND ONE ON ONE SUPPORT, I GET CLARITY IN AREAS THAT HELP ME THINK DIFFERENTLY ABOUT LEADERSHIP AND FINANCIAL READINESS AND 
          [00:10:04]
MARKETING, AND MY LONG TERM PLANNING. SO WHAT STOOD OUT TO ME IS THAT KARA TREATS BUSINESS OWNERS LIKE PEOPLE AND NOT JUST NUMBERS. THEY UNDERSTAND WHEN THE BUSINESS GROWS, FAMILIES GROW, COMMUNITIES GROW, GROWTH AND JOBS ARE CREATED. AND THAT REALLY RESTORED MY CONFIDENCE AND WHAT IT WAS THAT I WAS DOING. THE ORGANIZATION CREATES REAL RELATIONSHIPS AND REAL SUPPORT SYSTEMS FOR ENTREPRENEURS WHO OFTEN WOULD NOT HAVE ACCESS TO THESE TYPE OF RESOURCES OTHERWISE. I'M LEAVING A JOB. I HAVE PERSONALLY SEEN HOW INTENTIONAL THEY ARE ABOUT HELPING BUSINESSES MOVE FROM SURVIVING TO BECOMING SUSTAINABLE AND SCALABLE. I AM THANKFUL FOR THE INVESTMENT THEY MADE INTO ME AND INTO OTHER BUSINESS OWNERS ACROSS JEFFERSON COUNTY. AND WHEN YOU SUPPORT CARE, YOU SUPPORT REAL PEOPLE WITH REAL DREAMS AND REAL FAMILIES AND REAL BUSINESSES TRYING TO BUILD SOMETHING MEANINGFUL IN THE COMMUNITY. I STARTED MY BECAUSE OF WEDDING CAKE BUSINESS IN 2017. I WAS THE SOLE WORKER, THE ONLY OWNER. YOU'RE WHAT? I'M SORRY. YOU'RE. I WAS THE SOLE WORKER, THE ONLY PERSON WORKING. WHAT KIND OF BUSINESS? IT WAS A CUSTOM AND WEDDING CAKE BUSINESS. WELL, IT IS SO WE STILL ARE. AND WHEN I WENT TO KARA, I. I'M GOING TO BE FRANK. I SIT AT THE TABLE AND I WAS LIKE, WHAT DO I NEED? AND I HAD NEVER BEEN ASKED THAT BEFORE. WHEN GOING INTO THESE SITUATIONS, IT WAS ALWAYS IMMEDIATELY TELLING YOU WHAT I COULDN'T DO OR WHAT DIDN'T MAKE SENSE. BUT I KNEW WHAT I COULD DO BECAUSE I KNEW WHAT I HAD BEEN DOING SINCE 2017, AND WHAT I WANTED TO DO WAS JUST FIGURE OUT A WAY TO SCALE. AND SO, KARA, WALK ME THROUGH THAT. 
          KARA GAVE ME THE RELATIONSHIPS THAT I NEEDED. EVERYTHING THAT I NEEDED TO GROW HAS BEEN EITHER A PHONE CALL OR A TEXT MESSAGE AWAY. AND SO WITH THEM, I DECIDED TO DO A STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIP WITH ANOTHER BUSINESS THAT HAS COMPLEMENTARY SERVICES. AND SO I JUST CONTRACTED WITH THE CITY OF HOOVER FOR THE NEXT THREE YEARS. AND SO I'LL BE OPENING MY CAFE ON JUNE THE 10TH TO THE PUBLIC INSIDE OF. SO WITH THAT SAID, WE HAVE A CLEAR GROWTH STRATEGY OVER THE NEXT TEN YEARS BECAUSE OF KARA. AND WE LOVE TO HAVE Y'ALL, YOU KNOW, STOP BY IF YOU'RE EVER IN THE AREA SO THAT WE CAN TAKE CARE OF YOU. AND I THANK Y'ALL FOR YOUR TIME. 
          THANK YOU. THANK YOU. ANYBODY NEED A WEDDING? AND THAT IS PAULINE'S FINE CAKES AND DESSERTS AND DESSERTS ARE DELICIOUS. THANK YOU. OKAY, DOES ANYBODY HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ON KAREN? NO. ITEM TWO. WE GOT SUPPORT OF CENTRAL ALABAMA REDEVELOPMENT ALLIANCE TO AID WITH INNOVATION, ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AND. WE'RE LEAVING THAT TO THE IMAGINATION. IF IT'S ALL RIGHT, WE HAVE ONE WEDDING CAKES HERE. ITEMS ONE AND TWO. ALL RIGHT. WE GOT A MOTION AND A SECOND FOR ITEMS ONE AND TWO. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR, PLEASE SIGNIFY BY SAYING AYE.

AND IF THERE'S NOTHING FURTHER. ALL IN FAVOR OF THE MOTION, PLEASE SIGNIFY BY SAYING AYE. AYE. ALL OPPOSED? NO. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. THANK YOU. WHILE WE'RE AT IT, MISS CHAIRMAN, I WAS SHARING WITH HELEN. BUT FOR YOU TO DIRECT. I THINK THAT A LOT OF THESE SMALL BUSINESS OWNERS, SUCH AS THE BEAUTIFUL LADY THAT PRESENTED TODAY, WOULD BE INTERESTED IN KNOWING ABOUT THESE VARIOUS ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT ARMS THAT WE DO, AND THAT IF WE COULD MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE PUBLICIZING THAT SO THAT THAT CAN BE AN ADDITIONAL RESOURCE THAT THE GENERAL PUBLIC KNOWS ABOUT. AND THEN, YOU KNOW, YOU CAN MULTIPLY, NOT DIVIDE, BUT MULTIPLY. WHAT JUST HAPPENED TODAY? YES, MA'AM. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. YEAH. THANK YOU. OH, THANK YOU FOR
