YES.SO URBAN HOLDINGS IS OUR KIND MICRO TRANSIT PROVIDER FOR CALLING COUNTY TRANSIT. THEY ALSO WORK WITH DARK D C T A, UM WE WOULD LIKE THEM OR REQUESTED THEM TO PROVIDE TRANSIT SERVICE TO AND FROM INSIDE THE STADIUM FOR THOSE WITH VACCINATION APPOINTMENTS THAT DON'T OTHERWISE HAVE TRANSPORTATION. THE MANIFEST WILL BE COORDINATED WITH COLLIN COUNTY VACCINATION SCHEDULES AND WE WILL GIVE IT TO URGENT IRVING HOLDINGS A DAY IN ADVANCE. WE WILL HAVE AMBULATORY AND WHEELCHAIR ACCESSIBLE VEHICLES. WE'RE GOING TO USE AN EMERGENCY, NON PROCUREMENT. THIS IS AUTHORIZED BY FDA IN SITUATIONS WHERE EXIT G X URGENCY REQUIRES A SWIFT DECISION SO STAFF IS RECOMMENDING AUTHORIZATION OF THIS EMERGENCY PROCUREMENT FOR COVERT 19 TRANSPORTATION SERVICES. WE'RE LOOKING AT ABOUT 200 GRAND TO START THIS PROJECT UNDERSTANDING WE MAY HAVE TO CHANGE THAT FIGURE BASED ON BONY WAS NEAT. THEY'RE JUST GONNA CONSIDER. WE'RE ALREADY BUDGETED UNDER THE SEA A THIS WILL COME OUT OF THE CARES ACT FUNDS SO THAT 8.8 MILLION THAT WE WERE GIVEN, YOU KNOW, PARTICULARLY FOR COVERT. SO WE CAN USE WE CAN HELP THE ENTIRE COUNTY SO WE'RE NOT BEING LIMITED TO THE SIXTIES WHEN WE'RE DOING GREAT. I MEAN, SEVEN QUESTIONS. YES. OKEY HOW WOULD SOMEONE IN PROSPER ACCESS THE SERVICE? SO WE HAVE BEEN SETTING IT UP WITH COLLIN COUNTY VACCINATION SCHEDULE OR SO THAT WHEN YOU ARE ON THE WEBSITE OR WHATEVER LINK THAT YOU GET TO, THERE'S GOING TO BE IN BIG RED LETTERS AND SAYS, HEY, IF YOU NEED TRANSPORTATION, CLICK THIS LINK. IT WILL TAKE YOU TO A SEPARATE LIST. SERVE WHERE YOU FEEL LIKE THAT INFORMATION AND YOU KNOW THAT INFORMATION COMES DIRECTLY TO THE MEAT WILL GO TO MANIFEST GOLD. EVERY HOLDINGS. OKAY, BURGER. IS THAT AN UP TO $200,000 ISN'T A BLANKET? CHRIST IT COVERS US, NO MATTER HOW MANY RIGHTS WE HAVE, THAT IS A SETTING ASIDE A SET AMOUNT OF MONEY BECAUSE IRVING HOLDINGS IS GOING TO CHARGE US AN HOURLY RATE. YEAH, AND SO WE'RE GONNA PAY THEM WHATEVER. THEY'RE OUR GREAT IS, WE'RE JUST SETTING ASIDE THAT AMOUNT.
CORRECT DOESN'T NECESSARILY MEAN WE'RE SPENDING ALL THAT, BUT WE MIGHT OKAY. THANK YOU.
THIS IS ANGELA. JUST A GENERAL QUESTION. BASED ON A LOT OF THE FEEDBACK MAY HAVE RECEIVED FOR US TO EVEN GET TO THIS POINT. DO WE HAVE ANY IDEA OF. CANDLE IS THERE A LARGE REQUEST FOR THE TRANSIT SERVICE? COUNTY WINE DO WE HAVE LIKE A TENANT OF LIST OF PEOPLE THAT HAVE WELL NEEDED. I WAY ACTUALLY DON'T SO I HAVE NO IDEA THE NUMBER OR THE OR THE VOLUME AT ALL. WHICH IS WHY WE SET ASIDE. YOU KNOW A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF MONEY JUST BECAUSE WE MAY HAVE TO CHANGE THAT WE MAY HAVE A CONTRACT FOR YOU KNOW FEWER WE MIGHT HAVE, YOU KNOW, SPEND LESS MONEY. WE MAY NEED MORE AND HAVE TO COME BACK TO YOU GUYS AGAIN, BUT ESSENTIALLY.
I'M SO SORRY. I'M TALKING OUTSIDE AND I FORGOT THE REST OF MY INTENTIONS, E QUE LET ME LET ME TRY TO CHIME IN HERE AND ADD A LITTLE BIT SO, COUNCILWOMAN, UM, THE WEEK? I DON'T ANTICIPATE WE'RE GONNA HAVE A LOT OF USAGE, BUT WE'RE GONNA HAVE SOME WE KNOW THAT WE'VE HAD SOME SENIORS IN SOME SENIOR LIVING AREAS AND EXPRESSED TO US THAT THEY DON'T HAVE A WAY TO GET TO THE STADIUM. AGAIN. I DON'T THINK IT'S GONNA BE A HUGE NUMBER, BUT WE CERTAINLY DON'T WANT THEM TO NOT BE ABLE TO GET YOU KNOW WE WANT WE WANT TO REMOVE.
THAT IS A REASON THEY CAN'T GET THEIR SHOT. AND SO, UM THE THOUGHT WAS WE GOT FUNDING AVAILABLE THROUGH THE MUTTS. LET'S JUST MAKE IT AVAILABLE AND SAY, LET'S LET'S REMOVE THAT FROM THE EQUATION, I THINK IT IS GREAT. I THINK IT DEFINITELY CHECKS OFF ONE OF THE CONCERNS THAT WE HAVE BEEN GETTING FOR THE PAST COUPLE OF WEEKS WITH WHAT ABOUT THIS THING THAT CAN GET US? I THINK IT IS GREAT THAT WE HAVE THIS OPPORTUNITY TO PITCH IT IN
