I'm,
going

And
if

mute

say
a
quick

not

One
item
at
a
time.
So,
as

an
item,
I'll
call
it
out.
So
we're
going
to
move
on
to
item
number

which
is
approval
of
the
action

Did

changes
or
recommendations,

also
joining
us
welcome.
Elizabeth.
Thank
you.
Okay.
That
completes
item
number
two.
So
we're
going
to
move
on
to
item
number
three,
which
is
about
our
boards
and
commissions
in
general,
and
whether
or
not
they
we
have
some
options
around
virtual
or
in
person
staff.
Are
you
gonna?
Is
there
a
particular
staff
member
that
wanted
to
kick
this
off
I'll.
J
Be
glad
to
do
that,
this
is
Jonathan
Jones
I'm,
the
community
development
manager
for
the
city
of
Asheville.
So
thanks
for
joining
us
this
afternoon.
J
So
with
the
end
of
the
state
of
emergency
under
the
pandemic
lifted
in
North,
Carolina,
effective,
August
15th,
the
city
of
Asheville
has
adopted
a
policy
for
remote
and
in-person
meetings
to
help
plan
better
on
what
which
committees
are
planning
to
meet
in
person
and
which
are
going
to
continue
to
to
use
a
virtual
option.
So
the
attached
staff
memo
that
was
included
with
this
agenda
outlines
some
of
those
details,
but
I'll
be
glad
to
hit
some
of
the
highlights.
J
We
basically
have
to
have
for
the
Consortium
as
a
committee
that
advises
City
Council
on
approving
home
recommendation
funding
recommendations,
a
two-thirds
majority
vote
that
this
committee
would
have
to
decide
whether
to
continue
meeting
for
the
next
12
months.
In
a
virtual
format
like
the
one
we're
in
now
or
to
shift
back
to
in-person
meetings,
at
which
point
we
would
need
to
identify
a
location
work
on
the
logistics
of
making
that
happen
and
make
that
shift.
J
The
idea
is
that,
as
we
make
a
that
12-month
Commitment,
if
there
are
special
meetings
that
need
to
be
called,
those
could
be
planned
accordingly,
if
they
needed
to
be
in
person
or
or
virtual.
But
again
the
idea
is
just
to
make
sure
that
we
have
some
of
the
planning
and
infrastructure
in
place
to
facilitate
this.
J
So
the
target
to
respond
to
our
boards
and
commissions
was
November
1st.
So
this
week's
meeting
is
very
timely.
In
that
sense,
I
believe
from
my
account.
We
have
10
of
12
.
membership
regions,
and
so
we
could
take
a
majority.
Take
a
majority
vote
if
everyone
voted
in
favor
of
one
option
or
the
other
and
I
believe
that
about.
A
Covers
it,
thank
you
Jonathan,
and
we
can
have
a
little
discussion.
I
guess
a
little
round
robin
I'm
personally,
just
because
of
the
locations
of
everyone
on
this
commission
or
this
Consortium
I'm
thinking
that
virtual
is
probably
best
I,
don't
know
about
y'all,
but
I
since
we've
gone
to
Virtual
meetings
in
our
lifestyle,
like
even
that
little
15
minutes
to
get
from
one
meeting
to
the
next
seems
to
have
disappeared.
So
now
put
us
in
different
cities
and
stuff.
A
It
just
sounds
like
a
lot
of
planning,
but
if,
if
you
are
wishing
for
it
to
be
in
person
and
would
like
to
speak
to
that,
maybe
we
can
hear
from
those
folks
does
anyone
wish
to
go
back
to
being
in
person.
I
Is
Karen
and
I
do
see
a
benefit
in
us
meeting
in
person
at
least
a
portion
of
the
time,
and
since
we
meet
so
seldom
I
just
see
the
opportunity
of
sharing
information
face-to-face
conversations,
I
I
just
think
it
is
at
least
a
portion
of
the
Year,
particularly
when
we
are
doing
the
review
of
applications.
I
see
that
as
a
very
important
time
to
have
those
in-person
meetings
when
we're
really
having
to
make
the
hard
decisions
so
I'll
leave
it
there.
That's.
A
No,
that's
really
great
and
I'll
share
that
I
did
suggest
and
I
asked
our
legal
team.
If
this
was
even
legally
possible,
we
do
need
to
decide
for
the
sake
of
everyone
involved
in
planning.
If
we
want
to
do
it,
you
know
remote
or
in
person
for
the
whole
year,
but
I
kind
of
thought.
You
know,
for
once
we
haven't
even
all
ever
gotten
together.
A
A
I'm,
not
sure
what
I
did
learn
from
that
request
is
that
if
we
wanted
to
do
that,
we
would
have
to
have
a
special
meeting
and
notice
it
that
way,
but
then
we
could
plan
it
that
way
and
perhaps
meet
in
person,
but
then
agree
to
otherwise
be
virtual.
Any
thoughts
on
that.
H
F
I
mean
I
think
it
will
be
great
I
know
it's
not
an
option
currently
when
we
can
have
hybrid
meeting
scenario,
I
think
that
you
know
after
this
next
year,
hopefully
that's
a
more
viable
option
so
that
you
know
what
I
really
enjoyed
about
the
virtual
is
I
do
feel
like
we've
had
consistent
participation,
particularly
from
jurisdictions
that
are
farther
away
and
I.
Think
if
you
remove
that
option,
then
it's
limiting
and
I
think
what's
been
great
about
this
setup.
Is
that
we've
gotten
to
hear
from
everyone
and
everyone
has
been
participating?
F
You
know
it's
removed,
some
of
that
travel
barrier,
so
I
hate
to
see
that
go
away.
I
do
think.
Karen
brings
up
a
great
point
because
there
is,
and
I
don't
like
to
use
that
word,
but
like
networking
opportunities
time
to
actually
talk
about
what
products
are
going
on,
you
know
when
the
meeting's
over.
We
don't
have
any
of
that
opportunity
here
of
that
sort
of
space
for
that.
F
So
if
we
can,
you
know
facilitate
that
another
way
or
perhaps
do
as
you've
mentioned
Sage
once
a
year
special
called
in
person,
so
that
we
have
a
standard
set
virtual
meeting.
But
when
we
need
to
talk
about
really
important
things
meet
in
person,
but
I,
don't
what
I
would
be
concerned
about
in
that
case
too
would
be
well.
Would
everyone
be
able
to
attend
that
in
person
and
is
that
going
to
Arena
C
participation
drop
so.
A
E
Well,
as
someone
who's
in
a
further
away,
municipality
in
Brevard,
I
think
that
I
certainly
could
make
it
work
to
to
be
in
person
once
a
year
and
at
a
special
called
meeting
to
do
some
of
the
important
work
that
we're
talking
about.
But
I
do
think
that
the
virtual
option,
as
a
the
standard
probably
makes
the
most
sense
for
for
me
in
particular.
Just
being
you
know,
45
minutes
to
an
hour
away.
B
I,
like
the
option
of
having
the
one
meeting
a
year
in
person-
and
we
can,
you
know,
try
to
schedule
it
for
enough
in
advance.
Maybe
even
have
a
meal
or
you
know,
do
something
to
make
it
significant
to
all
of
us
I.
Also,
though
you
know,
I
don't
have
to
travel
so
I
really
want
to
defer
to
the
people
who
do.
H
I
would
Echo
what
Robin
and
Emily
said,
and
especially
if
staff
has
been
really
great
to
get
the
agenda
out
for
the
whole
year
and
if
it's,
if
it's
something
that
we
know
of
in
advance,
I
would
definitely
be
happy
to
make
the
trip
to
Asheville.
I
Interesting,
okay
and
then
just
one
other
piece
of
it
I
think
it
would
be
to
helping
to
make
that
decision
when
we
are
reviewing
the
applications.
Usually
in
the
spring,
the
applicants
come
in
and
make
a
presentation
and
I
think
that
would
be
a
very
good
opportunity
for
us
to
have
and
a
significant
event
that
would
be
good
for
us
to
meet
in
person.
A
Okay,
so
the
way
this
works
for
scheduling
and
stuff
is
in
voting
is
that
we
really
need
to
vote
on
being
100
remote
and
we're
not
going
to
have
like
a
little
sideline
that
says,
but
we're
gonna
do
one
in
person
that'll
just
be
on
us
as
we
progress
throughout
the
year
to
say:
hey
we've
got
this
coming
up
and
we'd
like
to
do
a
special
meeting.
Okay,
so
does
anyone?
Would
anyone
like
to
make
a
motion
to
remain
virtual
for
the
next
12
months?
I
assume
we
have
to
vote
on
this.
A
C
A
A
A
I
looked
Frozen,
okay,
Karen
I
and
Matt
card.
A
You
don't
have
a
beard
all
right
and
Elizabeth
joined
us
hi.
Okay,
great!
Thank
you,
everyone
we
will
be
remote
for
the
next
year.
You
know,
could
you
mentioned
too
when
I
joined
this?
It
was
a.
We
met
four
times
a
year,
but
then
home
ARP
happened
and
we
started
taking
on
more
responsibility.
So
we've
actually
met
a
lot
more
than
four
times
a
year,
so
this
will
help
all
right.
Thank
you.
Everyone.
A
Moving
on
to
the
next
item,
we
have
closed
item
number
two
we're
moving
on
to
item
number
three
for
those
of
you
listening
at
home
and
that
is
I'm.
Sorry
item
number
four,
which
is
City
Staffing
and
the
home
ARP
update.
So
just
as
I
mentioned,
we
received
I
think
it
was
4.7
million
dollars
in
home
Arc
and
we
haven't
yet
started
the
process.
We've
got
a
little
bit
of
update
from
staff
on
that.
J
We
do
so
what
I
wanted
to
start
out
with
on
this
Staffing
and
home
art
update
was
just
to
kind
of
give
you
an
idea
of
where
our
team
here
at
the
city
is
at
the
moment.
J
I
guess,
since
our
last
meeting
I
believe
Rachel
Wood
has
come
on
full
time
as
our
one
of
our
assistant
city
managers,
so
I
don't
know
that
any
that
everyone's
had
the
opportunity
to
meet
her
but
she's
with
us
today,
and
we've
also
got
Ben
Woody,
who
has
been
recently
promoted
to
one
of
our
other
assistant
city
managers,
so
wanted
to
congratulate
him
as
as
that
change
has
happened,
we
have
over
the
last
couple
months,
had
some
staff
changes
within
the
Community
Development
Division
with
Brian
Huskey
Mary,
Brooke,
Cox
and
Nancy
Williams
have
taken
other
career
opportunities
and
in
the
meantime,
over
the
summer
the
Community
Development
Department
has
been.
J
You
know,
working
to
reorganize,
how
we
do
things
and
some
of
the
affordable
housing
responsibilities,
the
homelessness
strategy
area.
Some
of
that
work
that
had
previously
been
you
know,
housed
in
in
our
department,
has
has
been
realigned,
and
so
we
now
have
a
separate
housing
strategy,
Division
and
an
affordable
housing
team,
and
that
means
that
the
community
development
team
is
going
to
be
focused
more
on
specifically
the
federal
funding
for
C
DBT
at
home
and
specifically
supporting
this
committee
going
forward.
J
So
I
wanted
to
sort
of
share
that
update
we're
working
on
some
interviews
and
getting
some
of
those
changes.
Finalized
we've
had
Athena
alley
who's
on
the
call
with
us
on
helping
facilitate
this
meeting
wanted
to
do
an
introduction
there,
she's
she's,
been
serving
as
our
city
coordinator
and
you've,
probably
seen
some
emails
coming
from
her
and
we'll
see
those
in
the
future
as
we're
planning.
J
Some
of
these
meetings,
Megan
Gaskell
and
Christina
Harris
are
still
on
our
team
and
are
serving
as
as
our
analysts
for
both
cdbg
and
home
at
the
moment,
and
then
we
also
have
Laura
near
who
has
been
serving
with
our
cdbg
CV.
So
a
specific
allocation
of
cdbg
funds
to
address
covid
needs
in
the
community,
so
our
team
is
still
still
growing
and
changing
we're
in
a
bit
of
a
transition
with
some
staff
changes
happening.
J
We're
also
going
to
be
posting
a
new
position
that
will
be
focused
specifically
on
home
funding.
In
the
past
we
have,
you
know
it's
been
a
real
all
hands
on
deck
kind
of
Arrangement,
and
so
we're
hoping
to
you
know
bring
on
somebody
on
the
team
who
can
wake
up
thinking
about
all
the
great
things
that
we
can
do
with
home,
and
you
know
keep
that
keep
that
running
as
part
of
as
part
of
our
team.
J
So
on
that
front
we
are
also
still
in
the
in
the
interview
process
for
the
home
Arc
position
that
will
help
manage
and
develop
the
allocation
plan
for
the
home
art
project,
with
the
four
point
7
million
that
Sage
missioned
a
moment
ago.
J
The
city
is
also
been
under
contract
with
the
National
Alliance
ending
homelessness,
to
do
a
community
assessment
here
in
Buncombe
County
and
look
at
our
strategies
and
our
resources
and
the
best
ways
to
align
those
to
address
homelessness
in
National
and
buffum
County,
and
so,
as
that
is
coming
to
a
close
that
process
of
the
assessment,
and
we
start
getting
some
of
the
feedback
from
their
investigation.
J
We'd
love
to
be
able
to
fold
that
information
in
and
look
at,
maybe
a
possibility
of
bringing
in
another
consultant
to
expand
on
that
work
throughout
the
Consortium
and
have
a
real,
robust
plan
are
allocating
those
funds
in
the
future.
Given
the
varying
ways
that
we
can
spend
those
funds,
we
can
do
you
know,
construction
projects
that
have
large
price
tags,
or
we
can
have
multiple
projects
that
are
providing
Supportive
Services
over
the
next
couple
of
years.
J
The
nature
of
what
managing
those
projects
will
look
like
will
really
depend
on
how
those
funds
are
allocated
so
we're
trying
to
trying
to
navigate
that
strategically.
Just
to
let
folks
know
we
have
reached
back
out
to
the
HUD
field
office
and
confirmed
there
is
not
a
specific
deadline
for
those
allocations.
So
HUD
has
given
us
until
September
of
2030
to
fully
spin
down
those
funds,
but
there
is
not
a
a
set
deadline
at
this
point.
They
have
followed
up
to
encourage
any
Community.
J
That's
not
submitted
an
allocation
plan
for
those
funds
to
continue
that
process
and
submit
those
plans
for
their
approval.
J
J
But
answer
any
questions
folks
have.
A
Okay,
well
congrats
to
staff
for
having
some
new
positions
and
also
being
able
to
hopefully
fill
some
new
soon
specific
to
the
homework
sounds
exciting
I,
don't
think
we
we
haven't
done
that
before.
So
perhaps
we'll
have
some
new
ideas.
Okay,
you
don't
actually
need
any
kind
of
action
on
this.
This
is
just
more
of
a
so
everyone's
aware.
We're
not
in
a
rush
and
I
will
share
too.
As
far
as
our
community
is
going.
A
A
So
while
at
first
we
were
in
a
rush
thinking,
let's
get
this
money
on
the
street.
Let's
get
the
money
on
the
street.
You
know
it's
actually
kind
of
behooved
us
to
have
stalled
a
little
bit
because
now
we're
going
to
know
a
lot
more
about
the
situation
and
maybe
have
some
directions,
at
least
in
our
community
that
we
could
take
so
that
will
help
us
on
our
end
and
perhaps
in
the
surrounding
communities.
I
believe
it's
really
a
regional
issue,
so
I
think
the
timing
of
that
is
pretty
is
actually
great.
K
Hi
there
Nikki
Reed
I'm,
the
community
economic
development
director
for
the
city
of
Asheville
I
also
wanted
to
share
that
I.
Think,
since
the
Consortium
last
met,
the
transaction
did
occur
for
what's
known
as
the
Ramada
property
to
a
public,
a
private
non-profit
partnership
that
is
going
to
add
more
permanent
Supportive
Housing
here
in
Buncombe
County.
So
I
think
that
was
the
other
other
point.
That
also
was
influencing
a
little
bit
of
of
our
our
timeline.
K
Here
is
really
to
understand
the
landscape,
given
that
this
would
be
over
100
units
of
additional
permanent
Supportive
Housing
to
our
community.
You
know
waiting
on
that
closing
to
really
transpire
has
helped
us
also
to
understand
that
those
beds
added
to
the
inventory
really
makes
an
impact
on
then
the
future
planning
of
those
funds.
So
we're
happy
to
announce
that
that
did
occur.
K
A
A
If
I
recall,
there
were
114
rooms,
I
believe
50
were
going
to
be
project-based
vouchers
for
veterans
and
others
would
be
Community
permanent,
supportive,
wraparound,
Services
type.
So
that's
great,
and
our
days
in
is
also
under
construction
as
well.
So
Asheville
is
going
to
be
opening
two
permanent
supported
structures
this
year.
A
Okay,
thanks
for
the
update
on
that-
and
that
closes
out
item
number
four
and
we're
moving
on
to
item
number
five
for
those
of
you
listening
at
home,
and
that
is
the
fiscal
year.
2022
2023
reallocation
recommendation
and
we
have
a
quite.
We
have
a
new
thing.
We
have
a
new
problem
and
that
is
that
we
got
so
many
awards,
which
is
a
great
problem
to
have
right,
but
I.
Think
Jonathan.
Are
you
going
to
run
through
this
with
us.
J
I
will
be
glad
to
all
right
go
for
it,
so,
as
many
of
you
saw
back
in
the
first
part
of
October,
the
low
and
low
low
income
housing
tax
credit
awards
were
announced
and,
as
Sage
mentioned,
we
had
a
number
of
local
projects
that
did
receive
the
tax
credit
funding.
Some
of
those
were
previous
home
applicants,
so
we
had
awarded
funds
earlier
in
this
year
for
the
223
22
23
program
year.
J
The
one
we're
in
right
now
and
we
did
have
a
couple
of
programs
specifically
Apple
Ridge
and
the
white
pine
Villas-
that
did
not
receive
tax
credits,
and
so
we
will
need
to
look
at
reallocating
the
funds
that
had
been
set
aside
from
home
for
those
projects.
The
total
between
the
two
is
right
at
950
000.
J
One
key
thing
to
take
into
consideration
is
that
of
that
funding.
429
thousand
was
part
of
a
choto
Reserve.
That
anytime
HUD
gives
us
an
annual
allocation
of
Home
funds.
We
are
required
to
invest
15
of
that
in
an
eligible
choto
project,
so
with
Apple
Ridge
not
going
forward
with
tax
credit
projects.
That
means
that
we
will
need
to
not
only
reallocate
those
funds
but
also
reallocate
them
into
an
eligible
Toto.
J
We
had
previously
talked
about
a
process
by
which
we
would
consider
any
other
applications
that
had
come
in
or
fully
funding,
applicants
that
receive
tax
credits
who
are
not
fully
funded,
and
this
year
sh
pointed
out
we're
kind
of
in
a
new
situation
where
the
tax
credit
applicants
had
already
received
the
funding
their
full
request
this
year.
J
So
we
have
950
000
that
we
would
I
need
to
reallocate
and
given
that
the
tax
credit
awards
were
delayed
by
a
couple
of
months
process
wise,
we
are
actually
coming
up
within
the
next
45
days
or
so
into
the
next
application
cycle,
when
the
city
would
release
the
home
funding
application
for
the
coming
year.
J
So
with
that,
the
staff's
recommendation
would
be
to
essentially
roll
The
Returned
funds
from
this
year's
program
into
the
next
application
cycle.
Allow
any
of
the
applicants
who
had
previously
applied
or
would
need
to
ask
for
additional
funds.
I
know,
there's
been
a
lot
of
conversation
about
increasing
prices
of
these
projects,
so
we
may
have
projects
who
have
seen
those
construction
costs
and
estimates
go
up.
That
would
be
able
to
come
back
as
part
of
the
next
application
cycle
and
request
additional
funds.
J
A
Was
a
lot
to
absorb
who
wants
to
jump
out
there
with
thoughts,
so
you
know
on
the
table
we've
normally
had
like.
If
we
had
an
award,
we
were
really
thrilled
and
we'd
reallocate
and
just
dump
everything
in
their
pile,
but
our
awardees
are
fully
funded.
We've
got
this
leftover
or
this
eligible
funding.
How
are
what's
everybody
thinking?
Do
you
want
to
move
it
into
a
future
cycle?
Do
you
want
to
deal
with
it
now?
I
J
Yes,
so,
according
to
the
HUD
regulations
and
the
policies,
the
the
home
Consortium
on
policies,
the
target
is
to
have
these
funds
committed
to
a
project
within
24
months
of
the
award.
J
What
I
will
say
is
that
HUD
typically
or
has
in
the
last
in
all
of
the
years
that
I
have
been
working
with
with
the
funding,
have
extended
a
waiver
to
communities
allowing
that
commitment
beyond
the
24-month
period.
We
have
stuck
with
that
24
months
time
frame
as
a
good
rule
of
thumb,
so
that
we
don't
have
projects
that
are
just
sitting
on
funding
or
that
we
are
sitting
on
funding
as
a
community
as
a
group
of
communities.
J
But
at
this
point
we
have
received
the
HUD
has
issued
that
waiver
for
the
24
month
commitment.
So
we
would
not
be
running
into
a
deadline
there
or
with
the
Toto
funds.
C
Yeah
I
was
just
gonna,
ask
Jonathan,
does
that
kind
of,
hopefully
I
didn't
miss
this,
but
when
we
identified
previously
kind
of
the
the
reallocation
priorities,
the
second
one
was,
you
know
also
allowed
to
look
at
projects
in
previous
years
that
that
staff
take
a
look
at
previous
years
and
was
there
just
nothing
in
those
previous
projects
that
needed
additional
funding
or
kind
of?
What's
the
thought
process
on
that.
J
So
we
have
not
looked
into
previous
projects.
What
we
would
typically
have
done
with
tax
credit
Awards
earlier
in
the
year
is
come
back
to
this
committee
and
ask
for
one:
did
we
want
to
put
funds
into
projects
that
were
not
fully
funded
but
also
request
any
letters
of
intent
or
you
know,
simplified
requests
from
previous
applicants
or
open
a
full
application
cycle
so
just
giving
the
timing
of
things.
We
have
not
gone
down
that
path
at
this
point,
but
would
encourage
anyone.
J
H
J
D
B
B
One
thing
that
wasn't
clear
to
me
was
and
I.
One
thing
that
wasn't
clear
to
me
was:
if
there
were
any
of
the
applicants
from
the
spring,
who
did
not
fully
fund
that
were
not
the
tax
credit
projects,
I'm
seeming
to
recall
that
we
were
able
to
be
pretty
generous
this
time.
But
but
that
is
a
question
that
I
do
have
is
if
there
were
other
applicants
who
did
not
get
full
funding.
A
L
On
the
new
guys,
I'm
still
trying
to
learn
just
quick
question:
Apple
Ridge
did
not
get
the
tax
credits,
but
they
are
talking
about
going
forward
with
their
single-family,
affordable
housing
development.
Is
there
any
way
we
could?
They
could
use
those
funds
to
help
with
infrastructure
so
associated
with
the
single
family
piece
that
was
not
part
of
the
I
mean
it
was
part
of
the
overall
tax
credit,
but
it's
they're
going
to
move
forward
without
the
tax
credits
on
that
side.
Can
any
of
those
funds
be
used
for?
That
was.
A
L
A
Government.
You
know:
okay,
any
other
thoughts
and
great
question:
John,
Matthew,
cable,.
F
So
I'm
going
to
Echo
I
think
what
Robin
had
said.
No,
it's
just
not
a
I,
don't
know
that
it's
great
for
us
to
be
leaving
950
000
and
looking
at
the
other
document
that
was
shared
yesterday,
we've
got
another
roughly
hundred
thousand
dollars
and
some
funds
from
prior
years,
which
they've
now
said
that
they
don't
want
so
we're
sitting
on.
F
You
know
over
a
million
dollars
of
funds,
we
could
technically
redeploy
like
right
now
right
if
I
get
them
out
the
door,
but
I
understand
too
the
administrative
process,
and
you
know
duplicating
that
and
that
the
fact
that
the
timing
issue
has
come
into
play
because
normally,
as
Jonathan
has
mentioned,
this
is
happening
in
August
and
September
and
we're
now
almost
in
November
and
the
regular
process
starts
in
December.
F
But
that
is
a
a
longer
open
application
window,
because
it's
for
you
know
kind
of
initial
applicants.
It's
not
for
people
who
might
have
already
been
in
the
pipeline,
though
we
would
typically
have
entertained
completely
new
projects.
You
know
if
there
was
a
new
project
from
a
choto,
for
example
that
had
gotten
the
tax
credit
award.
F
That,
for
whatever
reason,
didn't
seek
home
funds,
there
were
a
couple
of
categories
that
we
would
normally
entertain,
even
some
new
project
proposals
or
if
there
was
a
jurisdiction
that
didn't
get
an
award
and
wanted
to
make
application
for
a
project.
So
there
were
a
couple
things
that
we
could
kind
of
normally
entertain.
F
I
guess
what
I
would
be
curious
about
is
if,
through
the
next
cycle,
we
might
be
able
to
move
on
that
million
dollars
of
funding
quickly,
so
that
we
make
a
decision
and
assign
those
to
certain
projects
and
then
obviously
still
hold
the
final
allocation
on
the
next
cycle
of
funds
that
1.2
million,
for
you
know
making
decisions
in
the
fall
again
once
tax
credit
awards
are
kind
of
issued,
I
didn't
know
if
we
could
talk
about
what
the
spring
process
might
look
like,
because
I
mean
we're
sitting
on
almost
as
much
as
we
annually
allocate,
and
can
we
get
those
processes
moving
more
quickly
at
the
same
time
as
we
look
at
kind
of
the
next
round,.
A
I
My
additional
question
is
on
this
is,
if
I'm,
and
tell
me,
if
I'm,
not
following
the
schedule
for
award
final
award,
so
if
in
January,
traditionally
the
applications
go
out
in
January,
they
come
in
by
what
time
a
deadline
date
for
applications
is
when
so.
J
We
typically
release
the
application
mid-December
and
allow
agencies
to
return
those
the
first
week
of
February,
okay,.
I
And
then
we
reviewed
them
somewhere
in
late
March
or
the
staff
makes
recommendations,
late
March
to
the
board,
April
May
yeah,
and
then
it
goes
before
the
city
council.
In.
J
I
I
So
I
feel
fairly
strongly.
That
I
would
like
us
to
look
at
some
how
to
start
getting
this
money
out
the
door
as
quickly
as
we
can.
A
A
We
we
have
a
the
city
of
Asheville,
has
just
moved
six
million
dollars
into
its
Housing
Trust
Fund
we're
going
to
do
an
application
period
in
the
spring
and
we're
going
to
kind
of
align
it
with
our
Buncombe
County's
application
period.
So
there's
a
lot,
an
RN
that's
happening,
and
then
our
staff
would
have
to
administer
a
new
process.
So
talk
to
me
a
little
bit,
Jonathan
Nikki,
how
you're
feeling
about
that,
and
if
are
there
ways
that
we
could
get
this
money
onto
the
street
into
the
hands
of
people
that
need
it
faster.
K
I
think
it's
a
it's
a
great
point
that
we
share,
of
course,
but
I
think
what
we
have
to
be
aware
of
is
is
what
is
the
process?
What
is
the
process
for
reallocating
these
funds?
Does
it
actually
have
to
follow
the
same
timeline
because
Jonathan,
the
last
part
of
the
process,
as
previously
described
again,
publishing
the
application
receiving
the
requests
this
committee
votes
on
it
city
council
then
has
to
approve
it,
but
then
doesn't
it
also
have
to
be
approved
through
the
annual
annual
plan
submitted
to
HUD?
K
J
Yes,
that
would
have
to
happen
with
this.
With
this
allocate
if
we
were
to
hold
this
950
000
open
up
a
new
application
process
for
those
funds,
we
would
pretty
much
have
to
go
through
the
same
steps.
We
would
still
have
to
vet
those
make
Awards
and
then
submit
an
action
plan
Amendment
for
combining
the
two
allows
us
to
do
both
of
those.
At
the
same
time,
we
would
make
an
amendment
to
the
current
action
plan
at
the
same
time
that
we
submit
to
the
next
action
plan.
J
The
submission
of
an
amendment
usually
gets
approved
quicker
simply
because
it's
a
funding
update
it's
a
matter
of
changing
numbers
and
projects
rather
than
resubmitting
the
whole
plan.
It
should
be
a
small
change
from
Hud's
perspective.
I
mean
not
a
not
a
minor
amendment
that
we
can
make
from
an
administrative
standpoint,
but
it's
not
it's
not
the
same
level
of
review
required
if
they're
accepting
a
brand
new
application
all
right
when
brand
new
action
plan.
A
Right
so
effectively,
if
we
handled
this
950
separately,
then
we'd
be
running
concurrent
processes,
so
it
doesn't
really
make
a
lot
of
sense
when
they're
a
month
apart
right,
so
I
think
what
we're
hearing
here
is.
This
Consortium
is
recognizing
that
there's
a
lot
of
need
in
the
community
and
this
money
needs
to
get
on
the
street.
The
staff
are
saying:
well,
we
are
about
to
start
a
whole
nother
process
next
time
so
next
month.
A
B
Oh
mute,
oh
mute
I
was
saying,
keep
talking.
What
I
have
to
say
is
related,
but
it's
slightly
different.
A
Yeah
I
mean
I'm
just
I.
What
I'm
hearing
is
we're?
Probably
not
going
to
be
able
to
do
two
concurrent
processes
like
this,
especially
when
they're
just
a
month
apart,
but
I'm,
also
hearing
that
the
concern
from
the
Consortium
that
this
is
this
feels
slow
that
we're
not
helping
as
people
as
fast
as
we
can
and
we're
not
really
feeling
good
about
that.
So
I'm
kind
of
trying
to
think
you
know
the
process
is
outlined
so
definitively
in
a
calendar
next
year.
A
B
To
say
two
things:
the
first
is
that
if
we
were
to
consider
applications
that
have
already
been
filed,
we
would
not
have
to
open
an
application
process,
because
we've
made
that
a
part
of
our
process
and
saying
what
we
would
consider.
We
could
simply
ask
for
a
written
update
from
the
applicant
saying
if
they
you
know,
still
need
the
buttons
with
the
status
of
the
project
is
and
I
think
that
process
could
potentially
happen
quicker.
B
That
being
said,
the
other
thing
I
wanted
to
bring
up
is
chotos
and
I.
Think
we
only
have
if
I'm
not
mistaken,
we
only
have
two
in
the
entire
Consortium
and
one
is
currently
ineligible
to
apply.
So
I
think
we
need
to
be
really
careful
and
make
sure
that
we
are
getting
some
choto
applications
in
the
next
cycle
and
that
we
are
all
doing
our
part
to
work
with
that
choto
partner,
because
we
need
them
as
much
as
they
need
us
right.
A
Great
Point
to
your
first
point,
I'm
wondering
you
know
you
also
I,
think
it
was
you
that
mentioned.
Are
there
previous
years,
applicants
that
might
be
sitting
with
the
need
so
I
guess
there
could
be
some
brief,
just
kind
of
a
look
back
at
the
previous
applications,
and
even
the
year
before
I
mean
to
your
point
to
see.
If
anybody
needs
it
but
I,
don't
you
know,
I,
don't
know
the
semantics
of
that
I,
don't
know
how
that
happens.
A
J
We
did
handle
this
with.
We
did
run
into
this
issue
with
the
cottages
of
Oklahoma
at
Oklahoma.
In
the
last
reallocation
they
had
an
fiscal
year
1920
award
and
then
they
were
awarded
an
additional
218
000
last
fall.
J
That
project
did
not
complete
and
that's
actually
where
some
of
the
funding
in
in
this
reallocation
has
come
back
around
for
a
second
time,
I
guess
to
I,
guess
to
Robin's
Point,
making
sure
that
we
do
have
you
know
sure
to
we
do
have
churros
that
are
submitting
for
projects.
J
It
does
mean
that
if
we
have
projects
from
previous
years,
we
would
have
to
make
adjustments
to
other
action
plans
outside
of
this
one
or
the
one
that
will
be
in
development
for
next
year.
If
we
have
Partners
who
have
applied
before
and
are
simply
telling
us
that
they
have
a
need.
I,
don't
know
that
that's
quite
as
robust
of
a
review
as
we
would
typically
do
for
an
application.
So,
like
a
one-page
request
that
says
yes,
we
need
X
number
of
dollars
of
Home
funds.
A
It's
an
expanded
version
of
what
we
sent
out
I
think
we
fully
funded
all
the
shows
we
could
right.
Let's
see.
J
Help
me
received
150
000
of
the
170
000
request,
both
Apple
Ridge
and
white
pine
Villas
did
not
receive
their
tax
credit
award.
Fairhaven
Meadows
did
receive
500
000,
which
was
their
full
ask,
and
we
have
allocated
the
the
10
limit
for
administrative
costs.
A
All
right,
Jennifer
I,
saw
your
hand,
go
up.
Sorry.
D
E
That's
what
I
was
going
to
say
is
is
I,
think
that
that
might
be
the
the
best
short-term
solution
for
using
the
funds
that
we
we
can
at
this
time
and
then
funneling
the
rest
of
it
back
into
next
year's
funding
allocation
might
make
the
most
sense,
so
we
can
fully
fund
as
much
as
we
can
and
then
give
it
a
fair
fight
for
the
next
round.
A
Jonathan,
do
you
think
sorry
Matthew,
just
a
second,
so
this
part
of
this
is
really
because
HUD
was
delayed
and
I'm
wondering
what
the
likelihood
of
that
happening
again
is
that
you
know
tax.
J
Not
that
I'm,
aware
of
that
they
have
been
in
my
time
here
at
the
city.
They
have
been
pretty
consistent
in
in
August,
and
that
was
what
they
what
they
announced
when
they
that
the
timeline
they
announced.
F
And
not
to
get
into
too
much
of
this,
but
I
know
this
is
kind
of
an
item
that
we
wanted
to
know
a
little
bit
more
about,
but
to
Echo
Robin's
point:
you
know
one
of
our
applications,
which
was
not
recommended
for
funding,
is
a
choto
agency.
That's
having
a
monitoring
issue
and
if
you
know,
I
believe
the
status
is
that
that
monitoring
resolution
is
still
in
progress.
F
But
if
that
wasn't
the
case,
that's
something
we
could
definitely
fund
and
we'd
like
to
know.
If
that,
if
there's
any
indication
that
that
might
be
resolved
before
the
next
round,
well,.
A
F
But
I
was
going
to
mention
so
they
actually
requested
funding
from
Buncombe
County
too
so
Buncombe
County's
involved
in
that
project,
but
in
their
in
their
project
performa
they
were
still
indicating
a
need
for
home
funds
of
1.2
million
Beyond,
just
the
yes,
so
it's
a
multi-layered
project
so
I
know
I.
Don't
believe
that
those
answered
this
request
I'm
guessing
that
the
application
would
still
be
one
that
would
be
coming
forward
if
they
were
eligible.
A
J
The
stop
sharing
here
for
a
minute
and
get
to
my.
A
D
A
J
J
At
this
point,
we
are
still
working
to
resolve
the
the
HUD
monitoring.
We
have
been
waiting
for
some
technical
assistance
from
HUD
to
help
wrap
that
process
up.
We
are
hoping
to
have
that
done
before
this
application,
we're
hoping
to
have
it
completed
much
sooner,
but
some
of
the
some
of
the
guidance
needed
from
HUD
to
wrap
up
those
findings
is
still
in
progress.
Just
hearing
back
from
from
our
HUD
field
office
today
on
some
of
that
scheduling,
some
of
those
technical
assistance
meetings.
J
So
the
goal
is
to
have
that
wrapped
up
before
the
application
or
the
awards
I
mean
even
if
the
applicant,
if
the
monitoring
findings
were
not
finalized
or
that
the
resolution
was
not
finalized
in
December,
MHO
could
certainly
submit
an
application
with
the
intent
that
they
would
be
resolved
before
it's
time
to
make
funding
decisions
in
March
and
we
and
have
communicated
to
MHO
that
they
could
go
ahead
and
consider
a
winter
application
because,
again
for
the
same
application.
Those
findings
resolved
again.
A
Though
it's
overlapping
because
we
did
hurry
and
it
went
to
Council
in
Asheville
and
we
allocated
money
from
the
bonds
so
that
they
had
it
in
time
for
their
application.
A
F
I'm
I'm
looking
it
up
now
and
it
may
be
the
way
that
it
was
referenced
in
there.
So
I'll
get
with
you
and
make
sure,
and
they
may
have
listed
City
home
that
we
mean
yeah.
A
I'll
just
verify
so
now
you
know
going
back
on
the
1.2
here
would
just
be
twice
as
much
as
the
request
that.
A
They
may
have
seen
greater
increases
yeah.
It
sounds
like
our
staff
reached
out
to
David
Nash
at
Haka,
just
to
make
sure
we're
on
the
same
page
and
that
they're
not
in
some
like
immediate
need.
So
if
they've
seen
some
kind
of
cost
increase
which
everybody
has
and
they
have
a
follow-up
application,
they
did
signal
that
it
would
be
fine
to
wait
to
the
next
application,
which
would
allow
us
to
also
confirm
the
1.2
is
already
paid
or
covered.
So
I.
A
Don't
think
we
have
a
rush
on
their
end
by
any
means,
and
they
were
informed
by
our
staff
about
this
possible
combining
things
into
a
new
application
period.
A
K
J
I
would
have
to
look
into
the
addition
of
the
twenty
thousand
dollars
to
bring
them
to
full
funding
that
may
actually
be
below
the
threshold
for
a
substantial
Amendment
and
would
just
be
just
a
minor
infusion
of
additional
funding.
So
that
might
not
be
I.
J
I
would
want
to
double
check
with
the
field
office
to
make
sure
that
we,
we
aren't
surprising
them
with
with
some
change,
but
it
wouldn't
prevent
the
the
Consortium
from
making
that
recommendation,
and
if
we
needed
to
roll
that
change
into
the
next
funding
cycle
or
as
part
of
the
upcoming
funding
meeting,
then
we
could
do
that
if
they
meant
duplicating
a
lot
of
administrative
effort.
There.
A
Okay
and
we
on
Council
only
have
one
meeting
in
November,
so
if
it
were
to
move
it
moved
quickly,
but
I
could
keep
an
eye
on
that
and
help
that
along.
If
that's
the
consortium's
desire,
okay,
you
had
your
hand
up.
I'm
sorry
go
ahead.
H
Oh,
that's,
okay,
so
I
think
this
is
more
a
question
for
Jonathan,
because
in
them
when
I
was
reading
the
reallocation
memo,
it
sounds
like
the
priorities
that
we've
laid
out
in
the
past
and
that
are
in
the
memo
blend
themselves
to
the
discussion
of
the
group
today
and
so
I'm
I'm
wondering
if
you
can
just
clarify
those
priorities
and
then
how
we're
still
getting
to
moving
that
money
to
reallocate
next
year.
H
Instead
of
so
like
priority,
two
is
projects
partially
funded
in
this
year
or
prior
years
and
then
to
John's
Point
earlier.
It
does
also
mention
new
projects
from
member
jurisdictions
that
didn't
have
an
application
funded.
J
So
we
could
continue
to.
We
could
find
eligible
projects
not
funded
in
March
22
projects
that
were
partially
funded,
which
we
don't
have
any
of
those
except
for
helpmate,
and
then
the
new
or
the
new
projects
from
jurisdictions
that
did
not
include
those
would
essentially
be
wrapped
into
the
next
application
cycle.
Those
priorities
could
continue.
J
A
D
H
B
No
I
I
don't
want
to
put
words
in
Kate's
mouth,
but
what
I
think
Kate
was
trying
to
say
and
and
what
my
thoughts
are
about.
It
also
is
that
I
think
as
a
Consortium.
We
would
have
liked
to
have
come
to
this
meeting
with
those
options
laid
out
for
us
and
the
information
included
for
us
instead
of
having
to
come
to
this
meeting
now
to
ask
for
it.
B
I
personally,
don't
love
it
when
you
all
come
with
recommendations
for
us,
like
the
recommendation
today,
of
moving
it
on
to
the
next
cycle.
I
would
rather
have
all
of
the
options
laid
out
and
discuss
them,
and
the
Consortium
board
make
a
decision,
and
that's
just
my
personal
feeling
about
it,
but
I
think
that
that
would
allow
us
to
have
a
lot
more
participation
and
to
be
able
to
speak
for
our
jurisdictions.
A
F
So
it
is
challenging
I
think
that
the
other
part
that
makes
being
a
Consortium
complicated
is
with
the
city
being
the
lead
entity
and
the
city
providing
the
staff.
F
We
have
to
look
at
City
staff
capacity,
but
part
of
what
makes
that
even
more
complicated
is
the
fact
that
part
of
the
annual
allocation
goes
to
support
the
administrative
functions
which
the
city
is.
The
lead
entity
is
responsible
for,
so
I
do
think
you
know
it's
definitely
a
challenging
place
as
a
staff
person
at
another
local
government
to
be
in
terms
of
balancing.
F
You
know
the
administrative
burden
and
the
administrative
funds,
and
also
being
responsive
in
this
case
with
City
staff
to
the
Consortium,
but
also
to
the
city,
as
your
employer.
F
That
how
we're
providing
guidance
on
what
we
want
to
see
as
a
Consortium
is
really
important,
and
so
I
appreciate
that
sentiment.
Robin
about
you
know
how
we
handle
all
these
kinds
of
things.
F
I
do
think
this
is
really
a
timing
issue
and
I.
We
could
run
two
processes,
I
mean
I,
I,
don't
think
anything
I,
don't
think
Jonathan
or
Nikki
would
say.
Well,
we
can't
open
an
application
tomorrow
and
have
something
running,
and
it's
going
to
finish
at
this
time
and
the
next
one's
going
to
finish
it
this
time,
but
for
applicants.
Is
that
confusing?
Do
they
apply
in
one?
Do
they
apply
in
both?
Do
you
have
a
dually
open
the
point
of
getting
out
of
that
right?
F
You
know,
I
want
I,
want
to
put
funding
out
there
and
I
do
and
so
I
think
that
you
know
that
is
ultimately,
the
goal
of
the
Consortium
is
not
to
have
funds
unused
and
I.
Think
that
we've
consistently
said
you
know
we
have
Awards
of
funds
from
years
prior
that
aren't
moving
and
why
are
they
moving?
So
we
are
looking
agreed
like
as
a
as
a
Consortium
about
how
to
make
sure
funds
we
allocate
actually
move.
F
We
want
them
all
allocated.
We
want
other
people
who
get
them
to
spend
them
so
I,
don't
know
how
much
we
would
Advance
the
process
at
this
point
and
how
they
would
would
handle
that,
and
you
know
for
clarification.
It
might
be
helpful
to
understand
if
we
were
to
open
it
earlier.
Could
we
close
things
sooner?
Is
that
administratively
feasible?
F
The
thing
I
would
add-
and
you
know
I'm-
certainly
willing
to
make
a
motion
on
expanding
the
funding
to
the
one
under
funded,
not
fully
funded
application
from
helpmate
understanding
that
that
may
involve
some
other
processes
to
deploy
it.
But
I,
don't
think
it
would
in
any
way
prevent
their
existing
award
from
moving
forward
and
in
the
process
and
then
being
amended
later.
F
If
we
needed
to
I,
don't
think
that
administratively,
it's
going
to
create
an
extra
step
potentially
at
some
point,
but
that's
in
a
worst
case
scenario,
and
it
doesn't
stop
anything
at
this
point
from
moving
forward
so
I'm
willing
to
make
that
motion
whenever
you
know
what
we
kind
of
get
to
that
place.
F
I
A
And
I
will
do
better
on
RN
because
because
we
do
a
little
check-in
as
chair
just
to
make
sure
I'm,
you
know,
know
the
agenda
and
everything
and
I'll
I'll
work
with
our
staff,
on
my
end,
to
make
sure
we're
presenting
all
the
options
and
less
supplying.
You
know
one
opinion
right:
I
can
work
on
that
with
our
staff.
That
should
be
easy
enough
to
do.
We
certainly
discuss
it,
so
it
can
be
written
out.
Okay,
Matt
I'm,
happy
for
you
to
make
that
motion.
If
you
like.
F
So
I
don't
have
the
number
in
front
of
me,
but
I
would
recommend
that
we
increase
the
funding
allocation
originally
allotted
for
helpmate
to
their
initial
full
application
request.
A
D
A
Further
discussion
before
we
go
to
a
roll
call,
vote
and
I
should
acknowledge
that
we
saw
Forrest
join
sorry
Forrest.
We
are
counting
you
as
present.
Okay,
I'm
gonna.
Do
a
roll
call
vote.
How
I
see
you
on
the
screen,
but
I
guess
whoever's
got
a
presentation
up
we'll
have
to
move
it
because
I
can't
see
everybody:
okay,
great
Kate,
hi
Matt
card.
E
A
Forrest
aye
Robin,
aye,
Elizabeth,
aye,
Matt,
cable,
Emily,
aye,
Ben,
yes,
Karen,
I,
I,
don't
think
I've
been
voting
myself,
I
and
I.
Think
that's
it.
Okay,
great,
okay!
Well,
hopefully,
we'll
be
glad
to
hear
that
and
we'll
deal
with
the
administrative
processes
there
after
so
staff.
Do
you
you
don't
need
us
to
actually
vote
on
combining
these
funds
into
one?
Do
you
you
just
kind
of
need
our
nod
or
do
we
need
to
vote
because
we
should
have
reallocated.
J
A
A
Sound
like
that's
where
we're
at
anyone
else
want
to
speak
up
about
that.
Subject:
okay,
and
maybe
what
we
can
do
is
do
a
really
good
narrative
on
how
this
has
happened,
so
I
can
explain
it
to
our
Council
and
to
any
of
these
other
applicants
and
so
on.
Just
how
we've
gotten
to
this
point,
where
we're
going
to
be
sitting
on
a
million
dollars
wishing
we
could
spend
it
go
ahead.
Karen.
I
I
The
return
Yes
portions
of
it
yeah
I,
just
just
for
the
sake
of
being
legal
I,
just
would
feel
more
comfortable
that
we
did
pass
that
as
a
took
a
vote
said
that
HUD
could
see
it
wasn't
a
staff
decision
that
it
was
a
Consortium
decision,
I'm.
A
I
I
wouldn't
like
to
make
a
motion
that
we,
so
we
would
include
in
next
year's
funding
round
both
the
current
Year's
balance
and
with
next
year's
allocation
and.
I
A
H
I
just
had
a
quick
question
when
staff
gets
to
the
point
where
you
are
on
Advertising
that
call
for
applications
in
this
well
I
guess
in
in
a
couple
of
months,
can
you
share
with
the
Consortium
your
method
to
seek
those
applications
because
we've
at
least
to
me
it
feels
like
we're
very
involved
in
obviously
reviewing
the
applications,
but
if
we
need
to
take
a
more
proactive
approach
in
our
own
communities
to
help
get
that
message
out,
I.
A
A
Robin
hi
Elizabeth
hi,
Matt,
cable,
hi,
Emily,
hi,
Ben,
hi,
Aaron,
I,
myself,
Sage
I,
okay,
great,
thank
you
I.
Imagine
our
overworked.
Staff
is
greatly
appreciative
of
this
as
well.
Okay
and
getting
back
to
our
agenda.
We
have
completed
item
number
five
for
those
of
you.
Listening
at
home,
we
went
a
little
bit
over
15
minutes,
we're
moving
on
to
item
number
six
Mars,
Hill
and
Marshall
membership
updates.
J
So
we
provided
an
update
on
the
process
at
our
last
meeting,
just
to
give
folks
some
time
to
consider
how
we
wanted
to
proceed
with
making
Mars,
Hill
and
Marshall's
membership
with
the
Consortium
official.
J
They
signed
the
joint
home
Consortium
agreement
back
in
2011
and
2012
respectively,
but
because
not
all
of
the
members
signed
the
document
at
the
same
time
or
signed
to
that
same
document
accepting
their
membership.
They
have
been
in
limbo
and
so
for.
D
J
So,
in
an
attempt
to
reconcile
their
membership
with
our
records,
they
they
signed,
they
resigned
that
agreement
and
they
were
the
only
ones
that
signed
it
and
when
we
sent
it
to
HUD
HUD
reminded
the
city
that
we
need
to
have
all
signatures
for
their
regulations.
So
the
staff
report
that
we
provided
includes
the
reference
to
this
regulations,
showing
that
the
way
the
joint
agreement
is
constructed,
the
the
Consortium
has
two
options.
J
The
first
option
is
that
each
member
would
need
to
sign
an
agreement
adding
a
new,
adding
new
members
or
would
need
to
delegate
that
authority
to
the
city
of
Asheville
as
the
lead
entity
so
that
we
so
the
city
could
make
those
administrative.
D
Changes
to
make
those
administrative
amendments
to
the
agreement
on
the
consortium's
behalf.
D
J
The
draft
the
draft
amendment
that
was
included
in
the
materials
outlines
those
Provisions,
but
in
order
to
authorize
the
city
to
add
Mars,
Hill
and
Marshall
and
make
all
of
the
membership
documents
line
up
correctly,
each
Community
would
need
to
approve
that
Amendment.
A
Okay,
gosh:
these
are
some
old
documents,
my
goodness
still
have
the
same
county
attorney
Okay.
So
it
sounds
like
then,
staff
need
a
motion
on
this
particular
item
and
we're
we've
been
moving
towards
us.
Everyone
is
favorable
of
adding
these
jurisdictions
right.
A
Okay,
I
haven't
suggested
motion
written
out
in
front
of
me.
Actually,
if
you
want
me
to
just
make
it
to
keep
it
easier,
I
see
a
couple
hands
up.
Sorry,
of
course,
go
ahead.
I.
G
Just
want
to
clarify
I'm,
assuming
the
motion
would
delegate
the
authority
to
the.
D
G
A
J
I
will
what
I
will
say
is
by
delegating
it.
Just
to
this
time
would
mean
that
if
there
is
an
additional
change
to
the
membership
in
the
future,
that
requires
Amendment
all
of
the
Committee
Member.
All
the
committee
jurisdictions
would
need
to
go
back
and
agree
to
do
that
and
sign
these
documents.
Sign
those
documents
again
to
add
the
new
members
by
delegating
the
authority
to
the
city
of
Asheville,
to
make
this
as
an
administrative
change.
J
J
D
C
A
F
Yeah
I
had
made
a
note
of
of
that
issue,
so
I
don't
have
any
problem
with
the
city.
Having
that
author
I,
don't
think
that
for
us,
the
process
of
getting
this
I'm
just
going
to
be
cumbersome,
I
think
that's
the
same
for
other
local
government,
so
anytime.
We
want
to
do
that.
I,
don't
know
that
that
process
makes
a
lot
of
sense
in
the
long
term,
in
terms
of
who
asked
actually
has
to
assign
it
in
the
process
that
you
do
to
make
that
happen.
F
I
think
we
might
be
able
to
fix
it
with
a
modification
to
the
wording
in
the
amendment
where
it
says
prior
approval,
I
think
that
seems
somewhat
vague,
like
how
is
the
city
staff
obtaining
prior
approval
from
the
Consortium
and
if
it's
said,
through
a
vote
at
a
Consortium
meeting
like
if
there
was,
we
understand
that
to
be
added,
the
Consortium
will
meet
and
the
members
will
vote,
and
then
that
is
the
prior
approval.
I
think
we
just
clarify
how
the
prior
approval
is
obtained.
F
Then
this
decision
is
really
at
the
Consortium
level
and
the
staff
is
just
executing
the
administrative
function.
I
think.
If
we
could
add
some
kind
of
language
that
explained
that
it
was
through
a
vote
of
the
Consortium,
that
would
make
me
feel
comfortable
in
my
answer.
I
think
your
concerns
for
us,
because
I
had
I
had
the
same
ones
and.
A
I
believe
that's
the
intention
of
our
staff
right.
Our
staff
don't
want
to
barely
just
to
point
people
to
this
Consortium
or
add
people.
So,
okay,
that
you
were
worded
that
fairly
well,
you
want
to
try
and
you
can
motion
out
of
that.
F
If
you
were
so,
let
me
grab
that
item
and
I'll
try
to
use
the
okay.
The
wording
in
there
hold
on.
D
F
All
right
so
approve
an
amendment
to
the
Asheville
Regional
Housing
Consortium
agreement
to
be
signed
by
all
member
units
of
government
authorizing
the
city
of
Asheville
to
make
amendments
on
behalf
of
the
Consortium,
as
presented
with
the
addition
in.
Let
me
grab
the
file
again
with
the
addition,
under
the
terms
and
conditions,
I
believe.
F
With
the
addition
that
the
approval
would
be
through
vote
at
a
regular
Consortium
meeting,
prior
approval
would
be
through
a
vote.
I.
A
A
Hi
Jennifer
hi
Ricky,
hi,
Forrest,
aye
Robin,
you
know
it:
Elizabeth,
hi,
Matt,
cable,
aye,
Emily,
aye
man,
hi
Karen,.
A
And
myself
Sage,
you
know
it
yeah
thank
God
all
right,
that's
great!
All
right!
Thank
you,
everyone
that
is
wonderful
and
we
have
completed
item
number
six
on
our
agenda,
and
that
means
we're
up
to
the
last
most
exciting
one
public
comment,
because
hundreds
of
people
are
calling
in
waiting
to
give
us
lots
of
good
tidbits
right.
A
H
I
I
just
wanted
to
make
sure
that
we
didn't
need
to
reference
or
talk
about
the
email
that
was
sent
today
for
Mountain
housing.
They,
it
I,
thought
that
they
would
be
speaking
on
this
meeting,
but
I
guess
it's
not
I.
Just
wanted
to
note
that.
A
No
I
mean
we,
you
know,
since
this
is
a
public
meeting
and
the
agendas
are
published
and
stuff,
it
would
be
an
agenda
item
if
we
were
to
discuss
or
take
action
on
it.
So
we
can't
really
just
add
from
an
email.
But
if
it's
something
that
the
Consortium
wanted
to
have
on
a
future
agenda,
we
could
discuss
it
and.
J
A
I
Up
yes
and
I
a
different
area
the
earlier
you
stated
that
Sage,
that
you
and
towns
and
City
staff
regularly
or
before
the
meetings
have
internal
meetings
to
kind
of
pull
to
the
agenda
together
and
go
through
each
of
the
proposed
agenda,
items,
successful
transparency's
sake
and
comfort,
and
primarily
because
you,
as
a
City
Board
member
and
City
staff,
for
transparency
for
the
entire
Community
to
here
that
is,
is
an
open
conversation
with
the
vice
chair,
also
being
not
from
the
city.
A
If
I
think,
maybe
we
have
done
that
before
and
really
what
I'm
referring
to
is
it's
not
really
a
planning
meeting,
we
don't
sit
down
and
say
you
know
like
what's
queued
up
and
everything
we
literally
just
like
today
went
through
and
we
said:
okay,
we
got
this
email,
it
wasn't
an
agenda
request.
Did
you
see
the
email
I
had
missed
Robin's
email?
A
This
is
more
of
a
check-in,
not
necessarily
like
me,
helping
them
or
them
helping
figure
out
how
to
do
an
agenda,
but
to
your
point,
yeah
I
think
Robin
and
City
staff
and
I
are.
We
were
in
phone
calls
several
times
today,
but
for
transparency
reasons,
yeah
I
mean
there's
no
I'm
happy
to
invite
Robin
into
the
conversation.
She
frequently
is
part
of
that
go
ahead.
Robin.
B
Personally,
I'm
not
looking
for
any
more
meetings,
but
I
will
say
that
you
know,
given
that
the
person
in
your
persistent
position
changes
sometimes
and
City
staff
has
changed.
It
has
been
handled
so
differently
over
the
years
and
with
some
folks,
I
was
included
with
some
folks.
I
wasn't,
for
example,
Julie
frequently
needed
to
miss
Consortium
meetings
and
I
would
run
them.
So
I
was
often
included
in
the
agenda
development,
so
I'm
happy
to
do
that.
Something
else
that
might
also
be
beneficial
is
just
asking.
A
Yeah
I
think
that's
a
great
way
to
even
close
out
a
meeting.
Every
time
are
there
any
things
queuing
up
anything
in
the
periphery,
that's
boiling
up
and
needs
to
come
to
our
attention.
I
mean
because
this
is
a
you
know:
it's
a
flowing
conversation.
We
really
were
designed
to
have
four
meetings
and
to
execute
specific
tasks,
but
we
kind
of
expand
in
our
range
here
now
we're
even
adding
other
jurisdictions,
but
this
whole
home
Arc
is
kind
of
opening
up
a
process
a
little
differently,
so
I
would
love
to
she's
right.
A
So
I
don't
know
if
everybody
knows
how
this
works,
but
I
am
the
chair
of
our
Housing
and
Community
Development
Committee,
and
that
role
is
also
the
chair
of
this
Consortium.
By
default,
so
I
will
I
mean
we're
in
the
middle
of
an
election.
It's
possible
in
January
I
could
be
gone.
I
doubt
I
will.
But
you
know
I'm
not
up
for
re-election,
but
with
the
election
comes
a
resortment
of
the
board
chairs
so
to
Rob
his
point.
A
G
Think
Robin
touched
on,
you
did
as
well
and
I
know
agendas
they're,
always
just
to
get
the
business
done.
There's
usually
never
an
agenda
behind
the
agenda,
but
if
you
can
just
send
that
staff
could
send
us
kind
of
their
deadline
for
getting
suggestions
and
I,
also
like
the
idea
of
mentioning
with
the
end
of
these
meetings,
so
that
we
just
know,
and
then
that
would
help
as
well
suggestion.
Thank.
A
You
and
let's
not
forget
too,
we
did
meet
over
the
was
it
summer
fall
when
we
talked
about
the
nclf
and
those
of
us
that
got
together
and
really
recognized
that
what
came
from
that
process,
which
was
State,
I,
guess,
West,
North
Carolina
organized,
was
that
we
needed
a
group
of
people
dedicated
to
housing
in
Western,
North
Carolina
from
all
the
jurisdictions
that
could
meet
regularly
and
talk
about
it.
And,
of
course
we
are
that
so
there
was
that
on
the
table
as
well.
A
A
Okay,
so-
and
you
can't
always
share
you-
can
send
me
ideas,
you
can
call
me
and
say
hey.
This
is
coming
up
in
my
community.
Can
we
get
it
on
agenda?
That
also
is
still
a
possibility
for
all
of
you,
so
you
know,
including
the
new
folks.
My
contact
information
should
be
available
on
there.
Anything
else
before
we
finish
up
for
the
day.
H
I
know
a
couple:
people
have
hopped
off
today,
but
at
our
next
meeting
can
we
do
introductions?
Because
we
have
new
members
and
I
know
where
they're
from
but.
