A
You
are
now
live
good
morning:
everyone,
I'm
sage,
turner,
chair
of
the
asheville
regional
housing
consortium.
I'd
like
to
welcome
you
to
our
june
23rd
asheville
regional
housing
consortium.
Meeting
we're
streaming
live
on
our
virtual
engagement
hub,
which
is
accessible
through
the
city's
website.
On
the
virtual
engagement
hub
link.
We
also
have
an
option
for
the
public
to
listen,
live
by
phone.
You
can
dial
855-925-2801.
A
You'll
be
prompted
for
a
meeting
code
and
that
code
is
8760
for
those
of
you
out
there
listening
and
joining
us
today.
Welcome
I'm
going
to
go
through
and
do
a
little
roll
call
for
attendance.
It
looks
like
we
have
pretty
light
attendance
today,
but
let's
capture
who's
here
so
board
members
and
staff.
As
I
call
your
name,
could
you
please
say
a
quick
hello.
A
A
A
Now
let
me
go
ahead
and
introduce
the
city
staff
that
are
with
us
community
development
division
manager,
jonathan
jones
good
morning,
and
I
believe
our
community
and
economic
development
director
nikki
reed
will
be
possibly
joining
us
a
little
late,
but
she's
not
going
to
be
with
us
at
the
beginning,
and
I
think
that
is
everybody
will
give
robin
a
second.
A
All
right
so
a
lot
of
absences.
We
do
not
have
quorum.
So
the
first
official
agenda
item
we
have
is
to
approve
four
sets
of
minutes,
but
without
a
quorum.
We
can't
do
that.
So
we'll
just
continue
that
to
the
next
agenda.
All
those
action
meeting
minutes
are
attached
to
the
agenda.
If
you
wish
to
review
them
again,
they're
just
action
minutes
so
they're,
not
large
discussions.
A
If
you
need
to
review
any
of
the
minutes
or
meetings
themselves
for
those
of
you
listening
at
home,
you
can
go
online
to
the
city's
website
or
to
our
youtube
channel
and
find
previous
meetings.
So
without
a
quorum.
We'll
move
past
item
number
one
and
on
to
number
two,
which
is
a
north
carolina
leadership
forum
on
affordable
housing,
discussion
robin
and
I
we're
gonna
tag
team.
This
I'm
hoping
she'll
be
able
to
join
us,
but
for
those
of
you
who
don't
know
about
this,
maybe
give
me
a
little
show
hands.
A
Does
everybody
know
about
the
north
carolina
leadership
forum?
Anybody
heard
of
it
it's
in
partnership
with
duke
oh
good,
so
I'm
good
mayor
blakely
has
so
apparently
it's
only
been
a
few
years
since
this
fruit
started
and
they
do
a
statewide
study
on
a
particular
topic
once
a
year
and
then
they
kind
of
come
through
the
areas
of
the
state
to
find
leaders
in
that
subject,
convene
them
for
about
six
months
for
six
whole
one
day,
meetings
on
the
topic.
A
We
had
34
regional
leaders
and
the
goal
was
how
to
increase
access
to
adequate
housing
in
western
north
carolina,
and
I'm
telling
you
about
this
group
because
it
pertains
to
all
of
our
counties
and
city
and
our
own
initiatives
and
funding,
but
there's
also
a
an
action
that
came
from
that
six-month
process
that
ties
into
this
particular
commission
or
could
possibly
so
we
spent
six
months
visiting
different
cities
in
western
north
carolina
and
meeting
with.
A
I
think
the
34
people
were
a
compilation
of
things
like
the
mayors,
like
commander
blakely
was
present
at
this
forum
and
the
county
commissioners
or
the
city
councilors
we've
got
robin
joining
great.
Some
of
them
were
the
university
chancellors
for
those
areas.
A
We
had
folks
from
dogwood
health,
trust
and
the
chamber
of
commerce,
so
just
kind
of
a
wide
array
of
representation
around
housing
and
the
goal
was
to
first
spend
a
little
time
analyzing
what
all
our
communities
had
in
common
related
to
housing
troubles,
whether
it
was
high
occupancy,
low
vacancy
or
not
enough
units
or
short-term
rentals
came
up
missing
middle
that
kind
of
stuff.
A
So
a
lot
of
the
typical
planning
initiatives
around
housing
and
then
what
we
did
was
kind
of
drill
down
into
what
was
actually
achievable,
like
what
things
have
so
many
roadblocks
like
state
legislation
that
we
couldn't
as
this
little
group
make
them
move.
So
we've
sorted
through
and
came
up.
I
believe
the
outcome
was
maybe
six
initiatives
and
I
won't
go
too
deep
into
all
of
our
findings.
But
what
did
happen
at
the
wrap
up
meeting,
which
was
about
six
weeks
ago?
Was
the
the
room
was
concerned
about?
A
How
do
we
continue
this
discussion?
We've
learned
a
lot.
We've
got
these
great
ideas,
but
how
does
it
move
forward
and
it
was
decided
that
we
needed
a
group
that
had
representation
from
all
these
counties
and
so
on?
That
could
continue
to
meet
on
a
regular
basis
and
discuss
housing
for
their
regions,
and
so
someone
at
the
last
minute
was
like.
I
think
we
have
a
regional
consortium
that
does
that,
and
we
do
so.
A
What
we're
talking
about
today
is
whether
or
not
we
as
a
group
feel
like
we
can
somehow
support
this
other
like
larger
conversation
of
housing
or
if
we
could
be
one
of
many
of
other
groups
like
the
land
of
sky,
came
up
and
the
point
being
how
to
keep
moving
policy
and
initiatives
and
discussions
forward
and
how
to
support
each
other
in
our
different
communities,
and
one
of
the
ideas
was
to
create
almost
like
a
database
of
policies
and
initiatives
in
different
cities.
A
Almost
just
a
google
drive
kind
of
resource,
and
we
may
be
willing
to
do
that
on
the
city's
end.
You
know
we're
the
participatory
jurisdiction,
so
it
kind
of
falls
on
asheville,
but
we
are
being
I'm
being
very
careful
not
to
create
situations
that
create
work
for
staff.
A
So
what
we're
looking
at
here
is
whether
or
not
this
group
even
wants
to
take
on
some
discussion
about
this-
wants
to
be
an
optional
hub
for
information
or
if
we
want
to
be
one
of
the
cogs
in
a
wheel
of
information,
so
we'll
be
looking
for
a
little
input
on
that.
I
wanted
to
give
robin
a
chance
to
say
she's
here
and
I
see
forrest
joined
us
robin.
Are
you
good
with
connection?
I
don't
see
your
camera
on
yet.
A
Well,
forrest.
Welcome
we'll,
add
you
to
the
list.
Yeah!
That's
great!
I
don't
know.
Let
me
check
what
our
quorum
number
is.
One
two,
three,
four,
five,
six,
seven,
eight
nine
10
11
12
13
14,
and
we
have
one
two,
three,
four,
five,
six,
seven
eight
we
can
do
this.
We
can
improve
minutes.
We
have
eight
great
boris.
Thank
you
for
joining
us,
assuming
robin
can
get
activated
here.
A
You
know
she
had
some
thoughts
to
share
about
the
consortium,
yeah
she's
still
having
trouble
well
just
based
on
what
I
said,
I
mean.
What
do
you
guys
think
like
we
are,
you
know
we're
the
only
body
that
meets
regularly,
that
represents
so
much
of
western
north
carolina
specific
to
housing,
and
you
know
it's
a
hot
topic
across
all
levels
of
city
and
or
plant
rural
planning,
but
it's
not
moving.
It
forward
doesn't
seem
to
have
like
a
body
that
continues
to
push
on
things.
A
So
those
of
you
who
hadn't
heard
about
the
nclf
or
maybe
mayor
blakely,
who
was
part
of
it.
What
are
your
thoughts
if
you're
still
with
us
robin?
Oh.
A
Right
for
real
for
real
great
welcome
robin,
and
that
gives
us
quorum
too,
so
we'll
back
up
two
minutes
later,
but
I
don't
know
if
you
could
hear
me,
I
was
just
kind
of
doing
a
brief
overview
of
nclf
and
how
they
operate
and
the
cohorts.
I
didn't
really
go
into
the
details
that
we,
you
know
created
from
the
group,
but
were.
F
I
think
he
did
a
really
good
job.
I
would
just
add
that
you
know
one
of
the
things
that
I
that,
based
on
people's
comments
and
my
own
experience,
it
was
really
great
to
be
able
to
communicate
across
difference.
F
There
were
people
from
both
political
parties,
people
with
a
variety
of
different
experiences
and
perspectives,
and
they
set
this
group
up
in
a
way
in
the
work
they
had
us
do
to
build
some
relationship
that
allowed
us
to
understand
better
where
each
other
are
coming
from,
and
I
found
that
very
useful
in
the
conversation
and
the
reminders
of
the
commonality
of
many
of
our
goals
was
really
helpful.
F
Did
we
all
agree?
Absolutely
not,
but
we
didn't
have
to
to
further
the
discussion
to
really
come
up
with
some
ideas
of
of
ways.
We
can
work
together
ways
we
could
further
the
conversation,
and
I
really
appreciated
that
and
are
otherwise
polarized
world.
E
F
And
I
would
appreciate
hearing
what
mayor
blakely
has
to
say
if
you'd
like
to.
B
Just
for
clarification
and
make
sure
I
understand
that
what
is
I
guess,
the
request
for
what
we
would
need
to
do.
Could
you
just
clarify
that
again.
B
A
We
just
robin-
and
I
had
just
closed
out
the
nclf
before
our
previous
ar
hc
meeting
and
the
call
was
kind
of
made
at
the
last
minute
of
our
wrap-up
of
you
know.
We
just
need
some
kind
of
body
that
can
continue.
The
conversation
continue
to
corral
us
and
can
hold
information
for
us
or
a
resource
page,
and
I
guess
the
question
is
I
mean:
do
we
want
to
be
that
body?
A
A
For
us,
are
we
just
one
group
and
we
offer
to
be
a
hub
for
information
to
me?
That's
a
real,
easy
thing
just
because
we
are
the
pj.
Like
you
know,
imagine
I
mean
matthew
and
your
work.
You
do
extensive
stuff
for
performance
and
stuff
for
housing,
and
then
we
get
into
these
more
rural
communities
that
have
never
even
seen
a
pro
forma
they're,
getting
their
first
litec
project,
so
they're
not
even
sure
how
to
evaluate
them
fully.
Are
they
great?
What
does
it
mean
for
the
community
they're
dealing
with
lots
of
pushback
from
residents?
A
So
I
think,
in
that
case,
like
brevard
community,
is
a
great
example.
There
maureen
their
mayor
was
part
of
the
nclf
and
we
went
and
visited,
and
she
was
talking
about
the
you
know,
just
the
troubles
they
have
in
getting
multi-family,
and
in
this
case
I
would
think
that
some
of
the
work
you
do
at
buncombe
county
just
them
being
able
to
go
and
see
how
buncombe
county
handled
it
without
having
to
dig
it
through.
Your
website
find
the
committee
whatever.
A
If
we
just
had
a
hub
for
how
all
these
cities
and
governments
have
been
handling
projects,
it'd
be
helpful
resource.
I
think
that
part
seemed
really
simple
to
me,
because
we
could
just
drop
things
as
they
land
and
happen,
but
the
rest,
as
far
as
being
a
continual
resource
or
hosting
things
to
me
implies
that
staff
time
is
needed
and
more
meeting
time
and
that
I'm
a
little
hesitant
on
does
that
help.
B
Yeah,
I
think
that
that
was
my
concern.
You
know,
I
think,
only
because
the
consortium,
obviously
we
pull
in
funds,
that
help
support
the
city
staff
right
like
that,
provides
the
staffing
to
the
consortium,
and
I
know
there
have
been
capacity
issues
before,
because
that
amount
of
funding
is
really
limited
and
probably
not
substantial
enough
to
support
the
amount
of
support
that
we
require
for
the
consortium's
work.
So
yeah.
I
think
you
know
things
that
aren't
going
to
be
burdensome
to
them.
B
My
only
concern
as
you're
stating
is
anything
that
might
become
burdensome
to
the
city
staff
and
and
need
to
change.
You
know
how
they're
funded
or
that
there's
not
enough
funding
to
support
the
activities.
So
you
know
I'm
definitely
we
struggle,
even
as
an
entity
that
works
in
this
area
more
extensively
and
we
have
local
funds
that
we're
committing
and
we
have
staffing
to
have
resources
so.
A
Yeah
you
know
part
of
one
of
my
big
takeaways
too,
is
that
some
of
these
surrounding
rural
communities
they're
just
now
stepping
into
some
of
the
stuff
that
we
have
been
doing
in
buncombe,
county
and
asheville
for
about
10
years.
So
you
know
if
they
can
learn
from
our
adventures.
I
don't
want
to
say
mistakes,
but
they
can
learn
from
our
good
projects.
Learn
from
our
hiccups
and-
and
I
don't
see
any
problem
with
that-
and
I
think
this
I
think
jonathan
was
probably
very
thankful
to
hear
that
other
people
also
like.
A
Please
don't
make
it
staff
work,
because
that's
really
not
the
goal.
This
we're
just
talking
resources.
Anybody
else
have
any
thoughts
on
that,
while
we're
kind
of
just
discussing
kate
forest
anybody.
C
So
we,
a
few
of
us
from
transylvania
county,
were
able
to
hop
on
the
school
of
government
last
week.
Did
an
affordable
housing
webinar,
I'm
not
sure.
If
anybody
here
was
able
to
okay
great,
and
so
we
at
the
end
of
the
day,
we
talked
with
land
of
sky
representatives
and
they
seemed
willing
to
help
where
they
could
so
as
a
potential
additional
resource
there.
There
were
also
some
so
so.
C
Like
you
mentioned,
this
is
relatively
new
when
you're
talking
about
big
projects,
and
so
they
shared
some
really
helpful
information
that
I
would
be
happy
to
share
with
the
consortium
and-
and
one
thing
was
the
county
profiles
from
the
north
carolina
housing
coalition.
Just
to
it
was
helpful
to
see
real
numbers
about
our
community,
for
example,
but
they've
got
obviously
every
county
in
the
state
profiled,
and
so
I
I
would
love
to
see
this
consortium
play
a
role
in
something
like
that.
A
Yeah,
do
you
remember
when
the
county
so
matthew,
the
county
came
and
kind
of
gave
us
their
update
on
their
comprehensive
planning,
that's
kind
of
what
I'm
thinking
like.
We
could
be
a
resource
or
a
hub
for
data
and
documents
and
projects
and
online
database,
but
we
can
also
be
hearing
updates
from
critical
initiatives
or
things
in
the
community
that
are
impacting
our
region
and
counties,
and
that
would
just
be
you
know,
making
time
on
an
agenda
extending
our
meetings
a
little
bit
to
hear
more
information,
but
not
inducing
work
on
staff
right.
A
So
I
mean
that
would
be
a
great
example.
Okay,
like
we
could
have
an
update
from
that
particular
to
our
whatever
it
was
called.
It
was
informative
right
and
sometimes
just
basic,
so
some
of
the
stuff
we'd
already
know,
but
to
summarize
it
and
say
this
happened
and
here's
another
opportunity,
and
let's
put
all
these
documents
in
the
database
I
think,
would
be
suitable.
It
would
be
helpful.
Maybe
keep
us
more
in
tune
with
what's
happening
with
larger
governments
too.
Oh
there's,
mayor
blakely,
you
want
to
share
anything.
D
Yeah,
sorry,
I
wasn't
ignoring
you
all
this
stuff.
No,
I
think
coming
out
of
leadership
reform.
I
think
the
bottom
line
was
that
housing
is
a
regional
issue
and
we
all
agreed
on
that,
and
I
think
we
all-
I
think
you
all
mentioned-
there's
people.
D
Different
types
of
the
spectrum
from
different
communities-
rural
urban
fletcher's,
obviously
a
more
rural
community,
so
I
I'm
not
sure
exactly
because
I'm
an
alternate
here.
You
know
what
exactly
happens
here
every
single
time,
but
I'm
familiar
enough
with
this
consortium
to
know,
I
guess
the
baseline
of
what
happens
here.
Nevertheless,
I
think
you
make
a
good
point.
Council
member-
and
I
think
this
could
be
a
very
useful
space.
D
We
can
talk
about
what's
going
on
in
each
other's
communities,
related
housing
and
learn
from
each
other
because
we're
you
know
obviously
a
community
of
8
000
residents,
we're
obviously
not
asheville.
So
we're
not
doing
the
same
things
that
you
the
same
thing
that
you
all
are
doing
we're
catching
up
we're
a
little
behind,
but
we
still
do
have
that
same
issue
of
housing
and
lack
of
and
particularly
affordable
and.
C
D
Even
on
the
market
so
coming
here
and
having
the
having
these
constructive
conversations
and
figuring
out
how
we
can
make
this
a
regional
issue
support
each
other,
I'm
definitely
on
board
with
and
definitely
don't
want
to
make
any
more
work
for
the
city
of
asheville
staff,
because
I
might
flow
that
on
my
staff
as
well.
F
F
F
That
I
had
thought
about
is
pigging
back
on
to
buncombe
county's
presentation
around
their
comprehensive
plan
is
that
the
other
counties
in
the
consortium
are
doing
comp
plans
right
now
too,
and
it
might
be
interesting
to
compare
contrast,
maybe
discuss
you
know
how
is
one
planning
to
handle
transportation
or
something
along
those
lines?
They
probably
are
all
at
different
stages
in
development,
but
maybe
something
we
could
look
at
down
the
road.
A
Great
okay,
well
I
know
one
step
rob
and
I
agreed
to
do
was
expect
chair
and
vice
chair
was
to
meet
with
land
of
sky.
We've
got
a
point
of
contact
there
that
deals
with
housing
and
to
see
if
this
is
something
they
see
themselves
investing
time
and
energy
into.
I
guess
I'm
not
entirely
clear
about
their
ability
to
like
say
if
a
legislative
initiative
came
out
of
this
and
it
was
more
of
a
political
thing.
A
I
think
that
changes,
how
land
of
sky
would
it
interact,
but
but
you
know
if
there's
just
maybe
they
want
to
be
the
hub
of
information
for
all
the
counties.
Maybe
that
makes
more
sense
than
asheville
staff
and
us
creating
a
google
drive,
so
rob
and
I
are
going
to
contact.
A
I
think
her
name
is
erica
and
maybe
have
lunch
with
her
and
kind
of
see
where
they're,
at
with
it
and
kate,
to
your
point
sounds
like
they've
already
mentioned,
you
know
we
want
to
help
somehow
so
we'll
kind
of
get
the
run
down
there
and
then
maybe
what
we
can
do
is
at
the
next
meeting.
We'll
just
have
a
little
update
for
you
or
if
I
get
anything
in
between
now
and
then
I
can
email
it
out,
but
yeah
robin
anything
else.
You
want
to
share
about
this
topic.
F
This
morning
I
met
with
a
group
of
housing
advocates
here
in
buncombe
county
who
are
reviewing
the
city
of
asheville's,
affordable
housing
plan
from
2008
and
looking
for
ways
to
advocate,
to
revise
some
of
those
recommendations,
move
some
of
them
forward
and
it
was
actually
really
inspiring
and
energizing
to
be
in
that
room
and
to
talk
about
what
happened
in
2008.
F
When
that
plan
was
created-
and
I
mean
lots
of
things
have
changed
and
in
terms
of
our
affordable
housing
picture,
it's
easy
to
say
that
things
have
gotten
worse,
but
we're
a
community
full
of
really
great
ideas
and
really
passionate
people
around
these
issues.
So
I
consider
this
group
a
part
of
that
a
part
of
the
puzzle
picture
in
working
on
our
affordable
housing
issues.
So
I'm
grateful
to
be
here.
I
was
grateful
to
talk
to
that
group
this
morning
and
they're.
A
So
energized
I
talk
to
them
often
and
and
they've
got
me.
This
is
the
08
plan
that
they
were
talking
about.
The
irony
is
that
this
plan
has
all
the
ideas
that
we
should
be
doing.
I
could
rewrite
this
plan.
I
could
just
go
scratch
out
the
08
and
say
2022
and
it
would
still
be
applicable,
and
this
would
be
a
good
example
of
something
I
would
put
in
the
document
folder,
because
it's
actually
really
interesting.
This
was
a
task
force
that
did
this.
It's
not
the
city
that
took
on
this
initiative.
A
A
Regionally,
I
think,
is
helpful,
so
I'm
fine
to
maybe
after
we
meet
with
landa
skye,
we
can
just
take
the
first
step
of
where
should
this
hub
of
information
land
right?
Maybe
that's
just
the
first
step
and
if
no
one
else
really
has
much
to
say
about
that.
We
can
move
on
to
the
agenda
and
just
know
that
we'll
update
you
at
the
next
meeting
any
other
thoughts
on
this
okay.
A
I
want
to
take
us
back
up
to
the
first
item,
real
quick
now
that
we
have
quorum
because
a
couple
folks
joined
us
and
we
have
four
sets
of
minutes
to
approve
and
we
can
approve
them
all
in
one
lump
motion
so
to
spare
us
extensive
rule
call.
I
think
that
would
be
smart.
So
let
me
ask
you
if
you
have
any
comments
or
questions
or
changes
to
the
may
25th
march
3rd
march,
15th
march,
23rd
and
february
10th
meeting
minutes
everybody
get
to
review
those
action
items.
A
Anything
I
mean
it
should
be
pretty
simple.
If
not,
then
maybe
can
someone
make
a
motion
to
approve
all
oh
go
ahead.
Kate,
did
you
have
a
change?
Sorry.
A
Yeah,
I
was
jumping
around
a
little
yeah,
so
those
last
four
meetings
and
if
anybody
has
a
motion.
A
G
F
D
A
Forest,
yes,
robin
yes,
myself,
I
all
right
great.
We
have
approved
those
minutes.
We
have
one
more
item
on
the
agenda
before
public
comment.
That
is
item
number
three
for
those
of
you
listening
at
home-
and
this
is
an
administrative
update
from
I
believe,
jonathan
jones.
Our
director
will
be
kicking
that
off
go
ahead.
Jonathan.
E
Thank
you
very
much,
so
two
updates
and
maybe
a
little
little
status
update
from
the
community
development
team
here
at
asheville.
I
guess
I'll
start
out
with
that
piece.
First,
I
do
appreciate
the
comments
during
the
discussion
about
the
north
carolina
leadership
forum
and
the
sensitivity
to
staff
workload
at
the
city
right.
The
moment
I
do
want
to
let
you
all
know
we.
E
We
have
two
team
members,
nancy
williams
and
mary
brooke
cox,
who
have
taken
other
positions
and
other
organizations.
Nancy
will
be
joining
buncombe
county
here
soon
and
mary
brooke
will
be
working
with
a
consulting
firm
called
the
cloud
burst
group.
We're
really
excited
for
them,
but
it
also
means
that
our
team
is
going
to
be
lean
for
a
little
while.
So
I
again,
I
appreciate
the
sensitivity
there
as
we
start
to
make
some
adjustments.
E
Both
mary,
brooke
and
nancy
were
a
great
help
on
a
lot
of
the
home
projects
that
this
consortium
has
funded
and
helped
oversee.
So
I
do
want
to
acknowledge
them.
You
know
as
part
of
this
group
meeting
and
thank
them
for
their
service
to
the
city
and
the
community.
E
So
with
that
moving
along
to
our
update
for
mars
hill
and
marshall,
I
think
in
one
of
our
previous
meetings
we
mentioned
that
there
was
a
message
from
hud
and
oak
from
hud,
saying
that
we
needed
to
correct
the
mars
hill
and
marshall
membership
as
part
of
the
consortium
and
that
process
took
place
a
long
time
ago
and
anytime
that
we've
had
a
new
member
join.
E
So
when
mars,
hill
and
marshall
joined,
we
have
signatures
from
them,
but
somewhere
in
the
process,
the
the
other
co-signing
process
didn't
happen.
So
that's
that's.
What
hud
brought
to
our
attention
is
that
what
we
needed
to
do
was
go
back
and
have
each
of
the
member
communities
also
signed
an
amended
membership
agreement
or
joint
partnership
agreement
to
to
make
mars
hill
and
marshall
fit
fit
into
that
process.
E
At
the
same
time,
we
also
went
back
through
the
requirements
for
the
membership
and
hud
does
allow
the
consortium
to
assign
the
city
as
the
lead
entity
and
the
participating
jurisdiction
to
assign
us
the
responsibility
of
amending
that
agreement.
So
the
consortium
could
choose
to
have
the
city
to
empower
the
city
to
add
new
members
when,
when
that's
necessary,.
E
But
the
caveat
there
is
that
in
itself
would
also
require
that
each
member
sign
an
amendment
to
make
that
possible.
So
it
would
be
great
if
at
this
point
the
city
could
just
go
in
and
administratively
update,
that
joint
partnership
agreement
to
include
mars
hill
and
marshall.
But
the
next
step
that
we
are
looking
at
either
way
is
that
each
member
community
is
going
to
have
to
sign
off
on
an
amendment
to
the
joint
partnership
agreement.
E
We
weren't
planning
explicitly
to
have
a
quorum.
Today,
we
included
the
minutes
on
the
agenda
in
case
that
was
possible.
We
could
do
some
housekeeping,
so
I
don't
know
that
there's
any
particular
action
that
we
need
to
take
or
have
ready
to
take
right
now
related
to
adding
mars
hill
and
marshall.
But
I
did
want
to
give
you
that
update
so
that
at
our
next
meeting,
if
we
need
to
make
you
know,
take
some
action
and
start
distributing
some
agreements
to
have
routed
in
your
communities.
A
To
consider
what
path
forward
you'd
like
to
take
there,
whether
it's
simply
adding
marcel
and
marshall
or
simultaneously
including
the
city,
as
you
know,
empowering
the
city
to
make
those
administrative
changes
in
the
future
when
we
win,
if
we
have
new
members.
B
So
I
I
guess
I
have
a
procedural
question
because
in
my
time
on
the
consortium,
I
don't
think
we've
done
this
right
and
so
like
agreeing
to
be
part
of
the
consortium
is
made
at
the
government
entity
level.
So
I
guess
historically,
is
this
like
an
item
that
we
would
need
to
take
to
our
boards
for
approval.
I
don't
know
that
you
know
I'm
the
appointed
representative
by
you
know
our
government
right
so
from
us
from
a
procedural
standpoint.
B
You
know
what
would
you
anticipate
or
what
historically
would
the
government
agencies
need
to
do,
because
we're
gonna
need
to
have
a
mechanism
to
to
consent
to
the
addition,
I
think,
largely
at
a
staff
level.
I
don't
see
an
issue
with
adding
the
two
entities
and
then
giving
that
administrative
ability
to
the
city
and
taking
care
of
that
all
at
once,
but
it's
more.
I
guess
I
just
have
a
kind
of
a
question
about
what
what
it
looks
like
for
us
as
each
individual
consortium.
E
So
from
the
from
the
signatures
on
the
agreements
that
we've
received
before
it
looks
like
it
would
be
the
authorized
representative
of
your
organization
or
board.
So
if
it
was
a
council-
or
you
know,
commission
that
that
would
have
this
basically
the
same
level
of
authority
to
enter
into
any
other
contract
or
agreement
on
behalf
of
the
organization.
So
that
might
look
a
little
different
for
each
community.
But
I
think
that's
really.
B
For
the
organization,
but
it
might
be
a
little
different
for
everybody.
Okay,
yeah,
like
I
said
it's
just
kind
of
a
procedural
question.
I
think
you
know
it
makes
sense
for
us
as
a
consortium,
because
we'd
be
informed
by
the
staff
and
exactly
we're
responsible
for
kind
of
understanding.
G
A
G
E
The
authorization
in
the
hud
regs
just
reference,
I
believe
it
just
references
the
addition
of
new
members,
the
bylaws
mention
removal
and
any
entity
that
chooses
not
to
participate
matter.
Of
fact.
There's
we
sent
out
letters
last
month
allowing
any
community
that
didn't
want
to
continue
to
participate
would
have
the
option
to
opt
out
when
hud
asks
us
to
re-certify
as
a
consortium
every
three
years.
So
I
don't
know
that.
There's
a
need
for
the
city
to
have
any
responsibility.
G
For
removing
members,
but
it's
more
the
administrative
task
of
adding
members
without
having
to
route
those
agreements
and
and
collect
all
of
the
signatures
in
the
future.
But
that
certainly
wouldn't
be
something
that
the
city
would
have
any
interest
in
doing
without
consultation
and
really
just
poor
form.
G
As
long
as
we-
and
I
think
we
could
address
that
as
long
as
all
of
the
consortium
is
consulted
and
then
one
observation
I'll
make
that
I've
noticed
on
a
number
of
things
in
government.
Our
governing
boards
are
further
and
further
removed
from
everything
that
goes
on
in
their
local
governments.
In
many
cases
and
part
of
me,.
G
Regional
collaboration
is
different
than
it
was
30
years
ago,
where,
just
in
land
of
sky,
you
had
your
county
commissioners
from
each
county
talking
to
each
other
on
a
regular
basis
that
quit
happening
at
some
point.
That's
part
of
the
world,
but
I
just
think
that
people
remembering
how
they
got
where
they
got
can
be
important.
G
But
I
think
that's
a
bigger
problem
than
just
this.
So
it's
not
worth
us
figuring
out
just
an
observation.
B
And
for
us
to
just
to
jump
in
and
kind
of
tag
in
on
that
idea,
I
think
and
again
it's
a
staffing
issue
and
I
always
hate
to
ask
consortium
staff
to
do
anything
else.
But
a
really
great
thing
for
me
would
be
kind
of
a
summary
of
the
consortium's
activities
to
be
able
to
say
this
is
what
we
did
over
the
last.
You
know
fiscal
year
or
whatever,
even
like
a
one-pager,
to
explain
like
who's
part
of
the
consortium.
This
is
the
activities
that
were
undertaken.
B
These
are
the
projects
that
were
supported
or
whatever,
because
it
is
hard
to
summarize
the
work
of
the
consortium
and
and
elevate
the
importance
of
its
work
kind
of
on
your
own
and
brief
conversation
so
having
a
resource
like
that
would
be
a
great
point
for
us.
I
think
moving
forward.
A
A
Of
the
boards
and
committees
at
the
city
of
asheville
do
an
annual
report
and
like
if
we
approved
funding
or
something
we
would
link
to
those
projects
and
so
on.
I
wonder
if
that's
something
we
can
do
in
the
past.
I
know
it's
city
boards,
it's
usually
the
staff
liaison
in
the
chair,
so
that
would
be
jonathan
and
I,
but
you
know,
there's
and
jonathan's
got
plenty
to
do
so.
I
don't
mind
looking
at
kind
of
a
wrap-up
document
myself.
A
A
I
was
told
when
I
started
it
was
like
we
meet
four
times
a
year
and
we
don't
have
this
funding
well
we're
meeting
a
lot
more
and
then
that
hallmark
which
we're
gonna
get
another
update
on
in
a
minute
came
in
so
there's
just
more
going
on,
I
think
than
any
of
us
thought
would
be
going
on.
So
I
think
a
good
summary
document
is
helpful
and
then
can
also
be
accessible
for
us
to
take
to
our
local
governments
and
share
updates
from
so
I,
like.
E
I
believe
so
I
will
we'll
go
ahead
and
pull
together
an
amendment
that
would
include
both
the
addition
of
mars
hill
and
marshall,
as
well
as
allowing
the
city
to
make
those
any
administrative
updates
in
the
future.
A
Great
and
maybe
what
we'll
do
if,
since
we'll
be
voting
on
that
in
the
future
and
we're
missing
quite
a
few
members
today
is:
if
we
could,
I
guess
we'll,
have
a
draft
out,
but
maybe
I'll
send
an
email
to
everyone
and
say
hey.
We
had
an
interesting
discussion
about
some
new
activity,
go
ahead
and
watch
the
recording.
If
you
can
so
we
don't
have
to
rediscuss
it
next
time
I'll.
Do
that
administratively!
A
E
So
we
are
still
sort
of
in
the
recalibration
process
with
home
arc.
E
We
have
processed,
we
posted
the
hallmark
position
and
had
reposted
that
and
had
some
candidates
respond
and
the
timeout
on
our
system
for
having
that
position.
Posted
had
expired.
So
the
city
is
working
through
the
applicant
pool
that
we've
currently
received
and
looking
to
repost
that
just
to
see
if
we
can
garner
some
more
interest
and
maybe
distribute
that
job
listing
through
some
other
networks,
probably
even
re-share
it
with
this
committee
to
share
with
anybody
else
that
might
be
interested.
E
I
can't
say
that
we
got
a
lot
of
responses
to
the
initial
posting
so
as
we're
as
we're
looking
at
that,
we
want
to
make
sure
that
we
keep
that
in
motion
as
well
as
looking
at
any
other
options
that
we
have
under
the
city
and
buckingham
county
are
working
with
the
national
alliance
in
homelessness
to
do
an
assessment
here
on
the
needs
and
the
gaps
in
our
community
and
seeing
if
there's
any
way
that
we
can.
E
You
know
sort
of
segue
from
that
study,
build
out
on
that
process
to
help
inform
home
art
so
sort
of
re-evaluating
how
we
can
collect
all
the
relevant
information
to
build
this
home.
Our
plan
with
what
we've
got
yes
sage.
A
A
A
larger
level-
and
you
know,
potentially
include
some
home
art
funding
in
hiring
a
consultant
participating
in
that
process.
A
little
broader
do
you
know
the
timeline
on
that.
E
E
I
was
just
going
to
say:
there's
there's,
you
know
still
progress
being
made,
but
we
just
had
to
we
had
to
kind
of
change
and
with
staffing
where
it
is
right
now
trying
to
make
those
adjustments
so
that
we
can
continue
to
get
the
work
done,
that
we
need
to
with
our
cdbg
and
homework
as
well
as
start
focus
on
home
art.
Thankfully,
home
art
does
not
have
a
fixed
deadline
that
we
have
to
submit
our
allocation
plan.
The
same
way
we
do
with
the
annual
action
plan.
So
there
is
some
flexibility
there.
E
A
A
Well,
so
tell
me
about
sorry,
because
I
got
distracted
by
text
so
our
this
application
period,
if
we
have
to
go
back
out
like
what's
the
goal
for
hiring
how
far
back,
are
we
pushing
this
because
we
had
originally
said
july
here
we
are.
E
Yes,
it's
given
given
the
num
the
limited
number
of
responses
and
working
working
through
those
applications.
It
takes
time
for
us
to
hire.
I'm
I'm
hopeful
that
we
can
have
somebody.
You
know
within
the
next
couple
of
months,
lined
up
and
ready
to
go,
and
that's
also
why
we're
we're
looking
at
the
possibility
of
you
know
pulling
in
some
outside
help
with
consultants
just
to
help
start
some.
E
We
started
some
of
the
work
that
brian
was
doing
some
outreach
and
planning
there
and
just
see
if
we
can't
pick
up
that
and
pick
up
that
torch
and
move
forward.
That
said,
we'd
originally
projected
to
have
a
meeting
in
july
for
an
update.
I
don't
know
that
that's
going
to
make
a
lot
of
sense
just
for
home
art,
so
I'll,
probably
probably
look
for
a
more
substantial
update
at
the
the
september
meeting
that
we
were
planning
on.
A
So
let's
say
we
get
somebody
we
get
some
good,
better
applicants,
they
get
hired
and
onboarded
it's
probably
august
september
at
earliest,
then
they've
got
a
lot
of
work
to
do
to
prep
and
then
they've
got.
We've
got
to
come
to
us
and
finalize
things
and
send
out
an
application
have
an
open
period,
all
the
stuff.
A
So
we're
really
looking
at
spring
right
at
the
earliest
okay-
and
I
think
that's
important
that
we,
you
know,
state
that,
because
you
know
this
is
going
to
be
money
that
can
be
partnerships-
and
you
know
last-minute
applications
aren't
great
for
this
kind
of
thing.
So
these
partners
out
in
the
community
that
may
be
seeking
these
funding.
We
we
probably
need
to
alert
them.
You
know
not
that
we
know
who
they
are
entirely,
but
the
ones
that
are
obvious
that
you
know
4.7
million
dollars,
is
going
to
be.
C
E
A
Have
some
impacts
on
applicants
and
projects
queuing
up,
so
I
don't
know
if
that
might
be
worthy
of
a
cape
announcement
right
once
we
have
a
better
timeline,
because
I
mean,
if
I'm
working
on
one
of
these
projects
and
hoping
to
apply
for
some
of
this
money,
and
it's
not
this
year,
I
would
need
to
know
my
project
would
need
to
know
so.
We
may
need
to
actually
set
some
more
definitive
future
dates
and
say
we're
not
dealing
with
this
till
next
year.
A
A
Well,
we
know
that
hundreds
of
people
are
listening
just
actively.
You
know
listening
everywhere.
We
say
so
if
you're
out
there
and
you
want
to
this
job,
come
on
down
network
help.
Us
find
someone
okay.
Well,
we
have
a
we're
doing
pretty
good
on
time,
and
that
is
our
last
item
on
the
agenda.
I
did
not
see
that
anybody
had
public
comment
ahead
of
time.
Christina
are
you
with
us
and
do
we
have
any
of
those
hundreds
of
people
trying
to
call
with
great
ideas.
A
E
A
We
do
not
have
any
public
comments,
okay,
so
the
only
thing
left
for
us
is
to
adjourn.
I
appreciate
everybody
making
time
for
this
meeting.
We
weren't
really
going
to
do.
We
added
it
as
our
you
know,
feeling
to
have
this
discussion
about
nclf
and
stuff
so,
but
we
got
our
mean
our
minutes
approved
for
four
meetings.
We
had
our
little
discussion,
we've
got
our
updates,
no
public
comment
and
we
can
all
go
along
with
our
day.
Thank
you
for
your
time
today
and
we
are
adjourned
have
a
great
day.
Everyone.
Thank
you.
