[CALL TO ORDER]
OKAY. LET'S CALL THIS MEETING TO ORDER.THIS IS REGULAR MEETING 2020 408 OF THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT ADVISORY BOARD.
TODAY IS WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 21ST.
IF WE COULD HAVE A ROLL CALL, PLEASE.
[ADOPTION OF MINUTES]
AND THEN NEXT, WE HAVE ADOPTION OF THE MINUTES OF THE REGULAR MEETING.DO WE HAVE A MOTION ON THAT? MOTION TO ADOPT? THE THE MINUTES OF THE LAST.
I'LL SECOND THAT LAST MEETING.
I. AYE. ANY OPPOSED? I'M HEARING NONE. I VOTE AYE, AND THAT MOTION PASSES.
SO NEXT WE HAVE PUBLIC COMMENTS ON NON-AGENDA ITEMS. I DON'T HAVE ANY SPEAKER CARDS, BUT DO WE HAVE ANY? NO PUBLIC COMMENTS.
[NEW BUSINESS]
THEN WE WILL ROLL RIGHT ON TO NEW BUSINESS REVIEW OF THE STATE HOUSING INITIATIVE PARTNERSHIP PROGRAM.ANNUAL REVIEW FOR CLOSEOUT YEAR 2122 EB.
GOOD EVENING. SO EVERY YEAR, THE CITY OF PALM BAY IS REQUIRED BY FLORIDA STATUTE TO SUBMIT THE SHIP ANNUAL REPORT. AND THAT'S BASICALLY ALL OF THE GREAT ACCOMPLISHMENTS THAT THE CITY HAS MADE.
FOR THIS YEAR, IT'S GOING TO BE FISCAL YEAR 20 2021 THROUGH 2022.
THAT'S WHAT'S CONSIDERED THE CLOSEOUT YEAR.
THE INCOME CERTIFICATION IS THE HOUSEHOLD, WHAT THE HOUSEHOLD BRINGS IN AND THE HOUSEHOLD MEMBERS.
SO THEY TAKE ANYONE THAT'S OVER THE AGE OF 18 THAT'S WORKING.
THERE ARE A FEW EXCEPTIONS IF THEY'RE COLLEGE STUDENTS AND THINGS LIKE THAT, BUT THIS IS PROBABLY ONE OF THE MOST REGULATED GRANTS THAT WE HAVE AS THE CITY. THE FORMATTING IS DONE BY A COMPUTER SYSTEM THAT FLORIDA HOUSING COALITION.
FLORIDA HOUSING FINANCE CORPORATION HAS PUT OUT.
AND THAT'S HOW WE REPORT TO THEM.
ALL THE FORMS ARE CREATED BY THEM, AND THEY ARE THEN UPLOADED INTO THE SYSTEM.
THERE'S PARTICULAR SET ASIDES THROUGHOUT THE REPORT THAT YOU CAN SEE.
AND SO WE MUST MEET THOSE SET ASIDES.
WHEN YOU SEE A NEGATIVE CARRY FORWARD.
THAT'S ALWAYS WHAT YOU WANT TO SEE.
I RARELY EVER SEE IT WHERE YOU HAVE A LOT LEFT OVER IN THE YEAR, AND THAT'S A GOOD THING WHEN YOU HAVE THAT SMALL NEGATIVE CARRY FORWARD, BECAUSE IT SHOWS THAT THE CITY IS DEDICATED TO PRESERVING AFFORDABLE HOUSING FOR THOSE HOMEOWNERS, WHICH IS GREAT FOR THE CITY BECAUSE YOU KEEP THEM ON THE TAX ROLLS. SO AS YOU CAN SEE, THERE'S ACCOMPLISHMENTS THERE BY UNITS.
PROGRAM INCOME PAYMENTS, RECAPTURED FUNDS.
ELI IS EXTREMELY LOW INCOME AND I'M ON PAGE TWO OF THE REPORT.
BAILEY IS VERY LOW INCOME, LOW INCOME, MODERATE INCOME AND UP TO 140%.
IT THEN SHOWS THE SHIP FUNDS EXPENDED.
THEN IT MOVES ON TO HOME OWNERSHIP.
WE HAVE UNTIL SEPTEMBER 15TH TO SUBMIT THIS REPORT.
AND SO WE ARE KEEPING THIS OPEN UNTIL THE END OF AUGUST TO ALLOW THE PUBLIC TO COMMENT ON ANY OF THE GREAT ACCOMPLISHMENTS THAT WE MADE, OR ANY SUGGESTIONS OR ANY QUESTIONS THAT THEY MAY HAVE.
YOU CAN ALSO SEE THAT ON THIS REPORT, THEY TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION NUMBERS PRODUCED, FAMILY SIZE, RACE, HEAD OF HOUSEHOLD, HOUSEHOLD, DEMOGRAPHICS, ALL OF THESE THINGS IS WHAT WE HAVE TO REPORT.
THIS IS A VERY REGULATED REPORT TOWARDS THE END.
[00:05:05]
THERE ARE OTHER ACCOMPLISHMENTS BECAUSE YOU DO HAVE TO SHOW THE STATE HOW YOU USE OTHER FUNDING.SO YOU HAVE TO REPORT ON HOW YOU MAY HAVE USED ARPA FUNDING OR OTHER CDBG FUNDING TO HELP LOW INCOME RESIDENTS, ESPECIALLY FOR THE STATE.
IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, I'M AVAILABLE.
I HAVE ONE QUESTION ON THE REHAB PROJECTS.
WHAT IS THE MAXIMUM LIKE WHAT'S THE CAP FOR THE CITY? 75,000. AND IS THAT ARE YOU HAVING ANY TROUBLE? IS THAT AN ADEQUATE NUMBER RIGHT NOW WITH THE COST OF CONSTRUCTION? ARE YOU HAVING ANY ISSUES WITH THAT? WE GET VERY CREATIVE WITH OUR WITH THE SCOPE OF WORK.
OKAY? SO THOSE INDIVIDUALS THAT ARE OLDER.
YOU WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU'RE BUILDING IT SO.
OR PRESERVING THE UNIT SO THAT THEY STAY THERE.
SO THE 75,000 CAN BE A CHALLENGE TO KEEP UNDER.
BUT WE WORK VERY WELL WITH OUR CONTRACTORS, AND WE EDUCATE THE HOMEOWNERS ON THINGS THAT ARE CODE.
SO THEY MAY WANT CABINETS, BUT THE $75,000 BUDGET MAY RESTRICT IT.
SO THOSE ARE THE THINGS THAT YOU KIND OF REALLY WANT TO EDUCATE THE HOMEOWNER ON.
AND THE CONTRACTORS ARE VERY WELL AWARE.
THAT, YOU KNOW, WHAT'S CODE AND WHAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED AND SOMETIMES WHAT THOSE ESTHETIC THINGS THAT WE WANT TO DO, WE JUST CAN'T GET TO NEEDS VERSUS WANTS, AS MY MOTHER WOULD SAY, IT'S REALLY THE SAFETY, THE HEALTH THAT WE WANT TO KEEP THE PRESERVATION OF THE UNIT.
GREAT WORK. DO YOU NEED A MOTION ON THIS OR.
WE DO NOT. THIS IS FOR REVIEW.
AGAIN, BECAUSE IT IS VERY REGULATED, THERE IS NO WAY TO MANIPULATE ANY OF THE STRUCTURE OF THE REPORT, THE SET ASIDES OR THE SET ASIDES. IT'S IT'S VERY FLORIDA STATUTE.
YOU CAN GO TO A FLORIDA STATUTE AND SEE.
OKAY. BUT JENNY LAWSON, SHE'S OUR SHIP PERSON.
AND SHE REALLY DOES AN EXCELLENT JOB.
IN THE LAST SEVEN YEARS THAT SHE'S BEEN HERE, SHE'S REALLY FIRMED UP THIS PROGRAM.
EXCELLENT. DID ANYONE HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS ON THE REPORT? NO, I'M SEEING NONE. OKAY, SO THEN WE'LL MOVE ON TO THE NEXT ITEM, WHICH IS CDBG AND HOME TIMELINE AND TRAINING.
BACK TO YOU, MISS DEBBIE. SURE.
SO ONE OF THE THINGS THAT THE KDAB BOARD WANTED TO SEE WAS MORE HOME, HOME AND CDBG TRAINING.
AND I WANTED TO KIND OF HIGHLIGHT FOR THE BOARD TONIGHT.
SOME OF THE THINGS THAT WE STAFF ARE VERY IN TUNE WITH THROUGHOUT THE YEAR.
SO AS A STAFF MEMBER, WE CERTAINLY WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT OUR TIMELINES ARE BEING MET BECAUSE THAT CAN IMPACT OUR ALLOCATIONS IF WE DON'T REPORT TIMELY, IF WE DON'T SPEND TIMELY.
THESE ARE THINGS THAT THE COUNTY WHICH WE JUST HAD A COUNTY MONITORING TODAY FOR HOME.
SO THESE ARE THE THINGS THAT THE COUNTY IS GOING TO BE LOOKING FOR.
THESE TIMELINES ARE THINGS THAT ARE HUD REP IS GOING TO BE LOOKING FOR AS WELL AS SHIP IS GOING TO BE LOOKING FOR SOME OF THESE TIMELINES, LIKE THE ITEM THAT WE JUST REVIEWED. SO IT MOST ALL OF OUR GRANTS START IN OCTOBER WELL, EXCEPT FOR SHIP ALL OF OUR GRANTS START IN OCTOBER.
SHIP IS THE ONE UNIQUE GRANT BECAUSE IT'S A STATE GRANT.
IT STARTS ON THE STATE FISCAL YEAR, WHICH IS IN JULY.
AND WHEN THAT GOES OUT, WE START TO PREPARE THAT IN OCTOBER.
THEY CAN ALREADY HAVE THE MAJORITY OF THAT PACKET DONE.
THEN IN DECEMBER WE GATHER AND REVIEW THOSE PACKETS.
AND THAT'S WHAT HAD HAPPENED LAST YEAR WHEN MEMBER GARI CAME IN.
HE CAME IN ON THAT NIGHT WHERE ALL THE PACKETS CAME IN AND WE HAD TO SCORE THEM.
[00:10:05]
SO IN DECEMBER AND JANUARY, THAT'S WHEN WE MOSTLY COME BACK TO DO THAT WITH YOU ALL.THEN IN JANUARY AGAIN, WE SCORE THOSE PACKETS.
IT COULD BE DECEMBER, JANUARY, WE SCORE THE PACKETS, WE BRING THEM TO YOU, AND WE HAVE TO.
WHEN YOU SEE THE 30 DAY AD, THAT'S GOING TO BE SOMETHING THAT WE MUST DO.
THESE 30 DAY ADS IS SOMETHING WE HAVE TO LET THE CITIZENS BE ENGAGED AND ALLOW THEM AN OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK ON THE RFP OR REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS THAT GO OUT.
FIRST PUBLIC HEARING FOR CDBG, WHICH IS WHEN COUNCIL REVIEWS ALL THE PACKETS AND THEY LOOK TO SEE WHAT YOUR RECOMMENDATIONS ARE AS A BOARD TO REALLY PUT VALUE ONE WAY ON IF THAT'S THE FUNDING THAT THEY WANT TO ASSIGN TO THOSE AGENCIES.
THEN IN MARCH WE LOOK TO SEE, OKAY, WHAT IS OUR FINAL ALLOCATION? WE ARE NOT ABLE TO POST OUR SECOND OR LAST PUBLIC HEARING UNTIL WE GET THOSE ALLOCATIONS, THOSE FIRMED UP NUMBERS FROM D.C. AND FOR HOME AND FROM HOME THAT'S GOING TO COME THROUGH THE COUNTY.
SO SOMETIMES IN PRIOR YEARS YOU'LL SEE WHERE WE DO THAT SECOND OR THAT FINAL PUBLIC HEARING.
AND SOMETIMES IF IT'S OVER, WE CAN SAY, OKAY, WELL WE CAN EITHER DIVVY UP THOSE AMOUNTS OR WE CAN GIVE IT TO THAT LAST AGENCY THAT REQUESTED MAYBE THAT AGENCY REQUESTED 10,000, BUT NOW WE HAVE 12,000.
SO NOW WE CAN GIVE THEM THAT 12,000 THAT, YOU KNOW, THEY WERE LOOKING FOR INSTEAD OF THE TEN.
AND THAT'S WHY WE HAVE TO HOLD OFF DOING THAT FINAL AND PUBLIC HEARING.
AND YOU SUBMIT THAT PLAN BECAUSE WE BELONG TO THE HOME CONSORTIUM, WE'RE IN A UNIQUE SITUATION WHERE WE MUST WAIT FOR ALL OF THE OTHER CITIES THAT ARE IN THE HOME CONSORTIUM TO HIT SUBMIT TO HUD FOR THOSE PARTICULAR PLANS.
SO IN APRIL AND MAY WE'RE PREPARING OUR PLANS JUNE AND JULY.
THAT'S WHEN YOU KICK OFF THE MONITORING FOR THAT PARTICULAR FISCAL YEAR FOR THE SUBRECIPIENTS.
THEN IN AUGUST AND SEPTEMBER, WE'VE ALREADY SUBMITTED OUR PLANS.
WE'VE PREPARED OUR CERTIFICATIONS OR FIRMED UP OR ANSWERED ANY QUESTIONS HUD MAY HAVE.
AND WE'RE PREPARING OUR AGREEMENTS AND GETTING READY TO EXECUTE THEM.
BUT AGAIN, WE HAVE TO WAIT FOR THAT HUD CERTIFICATION LETTER TO COME IN.
AND THEN IN SEPTEMBER AND OCTOBER, WE'RE CONDUCTING OUR ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEWS TO MAKE SURE WE HAVE ENOUGH TIME THAT HUD SAYS, IF YOU'RE GOING TO WORK, FOR EXAMPLE, ON GOOD PARK THAT ALL THOSE ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW TICK MARKS AND ALL THOSE CATEGORIES ARE CHECKED OFF.
AND YOU DILIGENTLY HAVE CONTACTED ANY OF THOSE TRIBAL LETTERS THAT NEED TO GO OUT TO LET THEM KNOW, HEY, WE'RE GOING TO BE DOING SOME ACTIVE DIGGING BECAUSE WE'RE GOING TO PUT IN THIS OR WE'RE GOING TO PUT IN THAT, AND WE'RE BECAUSE WE'RE TOUCHING THE DIRT.
WE NEED TO KNOW WE NEED TO LET THE INDIAN TRIBES KNOW.
AND THEN YOU ALSO CLEAR IT THROUGH THE STATE AS WELL AS HISTORIC IF YOU'RE DOING ANY REHABS.
WE DON'T REALLY DO REHABS WITH CDBG.
SO THEN ALSO IN SEPTEMBER AND OCTOBER, WE'RE FIRMING UP THOSE FINAL INVOICES FROM THE SUBRECIPIENTS SO THAT WE CAN TELL HUD, YES, WE'VE SPENT THE MONEY BEFORE THAT 930 DEADLINE IN SEPTEMBER.
[00:15:02]
WE'RE CLOSING OUT ALL OUR PURCHASE ORDERS.SO THAT'S WHAT CURRENTLY STAFF IS WORKING ON.
AND THEN IN DECEMBER WE SUBMIT THAT TAPER, WHICH IS A REQUIREMENT TO HUD BY DECEMBER 30TH.
THIS IS GREAT. I FEEL LIKE MY JOB IS REVOLVES AROUND DEADLINES, LINE, SO I'M HAPPY TO SEE HOW YOU BACKED INTO THE THE FINAL REPORT TO GET YOURSELF THERE THROUGH THE YEAR SO THAT. YEAH, THIS IS A GREAT DOCUMENT.
ONE OF MY, ONE OF MY CONCERNS WAS WHEN I CAME WE HAVE LIKE TEN PEOPLE APPLIED FOR THE FOR THE GRANT, AND THEN FIVE GOT IT.
WHAT I WAS SUGGESTING CAN WE, YOU KNOW, LET THESE APPLICANTS KNOW IN ADVANCE THAT THE MONEY IS LIMITED. AND BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, THE PROCESS TO APPLY IS QUITE A BIT A LOT OF DOCUMENTATION TO FILL IN AND PROVIDE.
AND THEN, YOU KNOW, THAT'S ONE WAS MY MY CONCERN AT THAT TIME ALSO.
AND I WAS JUST SAYING, IF WE HAVE 50,000 AND IT'S TEN PEOPLE, WE GIVE THEM 5000 EACH AND NOT GIVING 120 AND 15 AND THEN FIVE LEAVE EMPTY HANDED.
THAT'S CERTAINLY SOMETHING THAT I CAN ADDRESS WITH MY HIGHER UPS.
WHAT WAS HISTORICALLY ESTABLISHED WAS THAT THE AGENCY HAS TO GET THIS MINIMUM.
SO MAYBE LOWERING THAT MINIMUM SO IT SPREADS THE MONEY OUT.
IT'S A CONVERSATION THAT I COULD HAVE WITH MANAGEMENT.
AND THEN WE CAN ALWAYS BRING THAT BACK.
I AGREE. YEAH. I THINK WHEN THE WHEN THE REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS IS INITIALLY PUT OUT, WHEN THE SOLICITATION IS PUT OUT, IT USUALLY HAS AT LEAST THE ESTIMATED AMOUNT OF FUNDING IN IT. SO IT THEY'RE THEY SHOULD BE AWARE THAT IT IS LIMITED FUNDING ESPECIALLY A LOT OF THEM.
IT'S THE SAME AGENCIES OVER A LOT OF TIMES.
I MEAN WE GET A COUPLE NEW ONES, BUT IT'S TYPICALLY THE SAME AGENCIES OVER AND OVER AGAIN.
AND I THINK A LOT OF TIMES, AS YOU'RE STATING, THERE'S A LOT OF INFORMATION THAT'S REQUIRED WITH THE APPLICATION, BUT THERE'S ALSO A LOT OF INFORMATION AND A LOT OF WORK THAT GOES INTO THE REPORTING REQUIREMENTS.
PLUS, I BELIEVE, ISN'T THERE A REQUIREMENT THAT THEY HAVE TO INCREASE THEIR LEVEL OF SERVICE? BECAUSE I KNOW WITH POWELL, WE TALKED ABOUT THAT A LITTLE BIT, THAT THEY HAVE TO GO HIGHER THAN WHAT THEY GOT THE LAST YEAR.
SO IF YOU HAD SOMEBODY THAT RECEIVED $20,000 THE PREVIOUS YEAR, IF WE WERE TO SPREAD IT OUT AND GIVE EVERYBODY $5,000, THEN THAT AGENCY WOULD NO LONGER REALLY QUALIFY BECAUSE IT'S NOT AN INCREASE TO THEIR LEVEL OF SERVICE.
SO THERE'S YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT.
THERE'S TWO CATEGORIES. YOU EITHER INCREASE YOUR LEVEL OF SERVICE BY EXPANDING THE NUMBER OF CDBG INCOME ELIGIBLE CITIZENS THAT YOU'RE GOING TO HELP, OR BY EXPANDING IT AND PROVIDING A NEW SERVICE.
YOU STILL NEED TO PROVE HOW YOU'VE HELPED IN THE PAST.
PALM BAY RESIDENTS THAT YOU'RE ESTABLISHED THAT THE PROGRAM COULD MOVE FORWARD EVEN IF YOU DIDN'T GET CDBG FUNDING, BECAUSE THAT THERE NEEDS TO BE THAT TO SHOW AT LEAST THAT THE AGENCY HAS THE LEVERAGING IF THEY IF THEY NEED TO.
RIGHT. SO IT IS I AGREE, IT'S A LOT OF PAPERWORK, RIGHT.
WELL, THE OTHER SUGGESTION IS LET'S US EDUCATE THE APPLICANT.
IT'S A FIRST COME, FIRST SERVE BASIS.
SO IF YOU WANT TO GET THE FUNDS THAT'S AVAILABLE, GET GOING WITH YOUR APPLICATION.
[00:20:03]
WE ONLY CAN ACCEPT FIVE APPLICANTS INSTEAD OF TAKING TEN OR MORE AND THE PHONE'S NOT GOING TO REACH THEM.I WOULD JUST SAY, YEAH, I DON'T, I DON'T KNOW.
WE THE FIRST COME, FIRST SERVE WERE I THINK WE COULD DEFINITELY MAYBE AMP UP THE FACT THAT IT IS LIMITED FUNDING AND MAYBE WE REVISIT THE WAY THAT THAT ADVERTISEMENT IS WORDED AND REALLY STRESSED TO FOLKS THAT THIS IS LIMITED FUNDING.
WE REALLY NEED YOU TO BEEF UP YOUR APPLICATION, BECAUSE I KNOW FROM YEARS OF BEING UP HERE, THERE'S SOME AGENCIES THAT I MEAN, WE BASICALLY GET A PHOTOCOPY FROM YEAR TO YEAR TO YEAR, WHICH IS FINE.
THEY APPLY FOR A LOT OF GRANTS, AND SO THEY HAVE ALL THE INFORMATION IN THERE.
BUT WE SEE THE SAME THE SAME NARRATIVE, THE SAME BACKGROUND INFORMATION.
THEY'RE JUST UPDATING THEIR FINANCIALS.
SO MAYBE MAYBE WE CAN STRESS TO THEM WE ONLY HAVE A LIMITED AMOUNT OF MONEY.
BUT I THINK IN THE GRANT CYCLE WORLD, IT'S NOT TYPICALLY DONE FIRST COME, FIRST SERVE.
IT'S THERE'S A DEADLINE YOU SUBMIT BY THE DEADLINE, AND THEN WE'RE ALL GOING TO RANK IT DEPENDING ON, YOU KNOW, DO THEY MEET OUR PRIORITIES? HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE THEY GOING TO SERVE? SO I MEAN, IF YOU JUST HAD SOMEBODY THAT TURNED THEIR APPLICATION IN FIRST, IT MIGHT NOT NECESSARILY BE ONE OF THE TOP PRIORITIES FOR THE BOARD OR FOR THE CITY, BUT I THINK WE COULD MAYBE DO SOMETHING AS FAR AS HOW LIMITED THE FUNDING IS TO REALLY KIND OF GET THEM TO, TO BEEF IT UP A LITTLE BIT.
ALSO, WE DO A TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE.
AMANDA TERRY, TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE WITH THE AGENCIES AND THAT'S THEIR OPPORTUNITY.
AND I BELIEVE WE DO THOSE INDIVIDUALLY.
WE DO ALL THE AGENCIES TOGETHER ON A TEAMS CALL.
SO JUST TO KEEP IT JUST TO ALLOW THEM TO EVEN ASK US, WE ARE THINKING ABOUT DOING THIS PROGRAM.
SO IT'S A GOOD REALLY GOOD OPPORTUNITY FOR THEM TO TELL US THIS IS WHAT WE WANT TO DO.
HOW DO YOU SEE THIS? HAVE YOU SEEN THIS BEFORE AND REALLY SET THE LEVEL OF EXPECTATION THAT WHAT THE CHAIRPERSON IS SAYING.
YOU HAVE TO PUT YOUR BEST PROPOSAL, PUT YOUR BEST GRANT WRITER RIGHT ON THIS.
BECAUSE WHEN THOSE PROPOSALS COME IN, WE REALLY DO.
IT'S SO HARD. IT'S THE HARDEST JOB ON THIS BOARD IS TO SCORE THOSE PUBLIC SERVICE AGENCIES.
AND I WAS LIKE YOU MY VERY FIRST YEAR.
THAT WAS MY VERY FIRST MEETING.
THEY SAID, COME TO CITY HALL AND PICK UP YOUR AGENDA PACKAGE.
AND THEY GAVE ME A BINDER LIKE THIS.
AND I WANTED TO GIVE EVERYBODY ALL THE MONEY BECAUSE EVERYBODY'S DOING GREAT WORK.
BUT TO THAT POINT, HAVE YOU EVER CONSIDERED DOING A GROUP TRAINING SESSION ONLY BECAUSE I WENT TO ONE OF THOSE MANY YEARS AGO WITH ANOTHER CITY AND IT, I FELT LIKE THE NETWORKING THAT THEY THAT THE AGENCIES HAD WITH EACH OTHER.
THEY ALL GOT THE SAME INFORMATION AT THE SAME TIME.
AND IT MIGHT SAVE YOU GUYS SOME TIME IF YOU DO ONE SESSION.
I MEAN, BACK IN THE DAY IT WAS IN PERSON.
BUT I DON'T KNOW THAT IT'S NECESSARILY BAD THAT THEY HEAR WHAT THE OTHER AGENCIES ARE APPLYING FOR BECAUSE, I MEAN, MAYBE THAT IS WHAT IT TAKES TO GET THEM TO AMP UP THE APPLICATION. JUST A THOUGHT.
IT'S A GOOD IDEA. THAT MAKES SENSE.
WELL, THIS IS GREAT. ANY OTHER COMMENTS ON THE ON THE TIMELINE? NOPE. I'M HEARING NONE.
[OTHER BOARD BUSINESS]
OKAY. SO THEN LAST WE HAVE OUR INFORMATIONAL STAFF REPORT.DID ANYONE HAVE ANY COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS ON THE STAFF REPORT? I JUST WANT TO PLUG FOR THE SCAT BUS VOUCHER PROGRAM.
DID WE HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS ON THE STAFF REPORT? NO, MA'AM.
I'M HEARING. ARE WE ANY OTHER COMMENTS FROM THE BOARD THIS EVENING BEFORE WE ADJOURN? NO. YES, SIR.
ALL I'VE GOT TO SAY IS AFTER LOOKING AT YOUR REPORT, I'M WONDERING HOW YOU FIND TIME TO SLEEP.
OKAY, WELL, I'M HEARING NO FURTHER COMMENTS, SO WE WILL ADJOURN TONIGHT AT 6:29 P.M..
[00:25:04]
THANK YOU EVERYONE. THAT'S THE WORLD'S RECORD, ISN'T IT? YEAH, I WAS PRETTY.* This transcript was compiled from uncorrected Closed Captioning.
