Description
No description was provided for this meeting.
If this is YOUR meeting, an easy way to fix this is to add a description to your video, wherever mtngs.io found it (probably YouTube).
A
B
So,
as
you
are
listening
and
and
discussing
the
information,
we
literally
need
direction
from
you
on
three
items.
Do
you
agree
with
the
most
highly
scored
categories,
because
what
our
conversation
today
is
going
to
be
about
is
not
specific
projects,
because
we
haven't
reached
that
phase
or
stage
yet,
but
we
will
be
talking
about
broad
categories
of
eligible
funding.
How
should
funding
be
allocated?
Should
we
do
lots
of
categories
and
a
little
bit
of
funding
or
narrow
those
categories
and
add
more
funding
to
have
a
more
significant
impact?
B
Essentially
what
we
are
trying
to
do-
and
I
know
this
is
different
from
what
the
county
did,
but
we
wanted
to
to
first
and
foremost,
understand
the
categories
so
that
we
could
really
direct
the
community
in
terms
of
what
your
priorities
are,
but
also
give
them
the
opportunity,
even
if
it's
outside
these
categories,
to
also
submit
requests
for
for
funding
next
slide,
and
so
it's
essentially,
this
is
going
to
be
the
overview
and
I'm
going
to
turn
it
over
to
patricia
for
her
to
give
you
the
overview
of
the
presentation
and
she'll
be
joined
by
eric
jackson
just
shortly
patricia.
C
Thank
you
deborah.
I'm
patricia
rosenberg
the
internal
auditor
for
the
city,
so
today
we'll
be
walking
through
the
arpa
available
grants
so
that
we're
going
to
start
at
a
really
high
level
and
talk
about
the
ar
prpa
in
general,
one
of
the
major
funds
that
I
mean
what
we'll
spend
the
majority
of
today
talking
about
is
the
local
and
state
government
fiscal
recovery
fund,
but
that's
one
of
many
grants
that
are
being
funded
through
the
arpa.
C
So
once
we
talk
about
available
grants,
then
we'll
go
specifically
into
the
allowable
uses
for
the
fiscal
recovery
fund,
we'll
get
into
the
planning
process
that
the
city
has
undertaken
so
far,
we'll
go
through
our
evaluation
process
at
this
point
and
then
we'll
share
some
tentative
results
that
we
have
for
y'all
and
we'll
conclude
with
again
asking
for
some
council
direction
on
the
points
that
deborah
had
already
mentioned.
A
Hold
on
so
apparently
somebody's
power
washing
because
we
scheduled
that
for
right
now,
but
maybe
we're
dealing
with
just
power
washing
somewhere
else
for
a
while.
Now.
A
Okay,
we're
just
doing
we're
just
doing
power
washing
in
this
meeting;
okay,
all
right!
Okay,
this
is
not
because
we're
taking
up
the
noise
ordinance
and
the
provision.
A
C
C
So
and
again,
what
we're
going
to
be
talking
for
the
majority
of
the
meeting
today
is
about
the
state
and
local
fiscal
recovery
fund
and
that's
the
26.2
million,
but
the
city's
also
receiving
direct
allocations
through
a
couple
through
a
few
other
grants.
One
is
home
funds
which
is
to
address
affordable
housing.
The
city
is
receiving
4.7
million
dollars
for
that
the
city
is
the
agent
for
four
county
regions,
so
we're
receiving
4.7
million,
but
that
covers
it's
beyond
the
city
of
asheville
and
it
really
does
cover
the
four
counties
is.
C
No,
it's
an
addition.
Okay,
everything
on
this
slide
is
in
addition
to
the
26.2
million,
so
public
transportation
is
receiving
1.8
million
and
that's
specifically
for
our
transit
system,
and
then
we
recently
found
found
out
that
we
were
awarded
the
shutter
venue
operators
grant
and
we're,
and
that
is
that
grant
is
awarded
to
venues
that
lost
significant
revenue
due
to
coven
19
closings,
so
harris
cherokee
center
submitted
for
this
grant
and
they
were
awarded
1.6
million
dollars.
So
that's
really
specifically
for
this
building
that
we're
in
today.
C
C
In
addition,
the
emergency
rental
assistance
program
was
allocated
to
buncombe
county
buncombe
counties
received
7.9
million
for
that
program
and
in
in
addition
to
rental
assistance,
the
state
has
been
awarded
separately
for
mortgage
and
utility
assistance,
273
million
dollars,
and
they
are
still
they're
still
deciding
the
process
for
allocation,
but
that
is
money
that
will
eventually
be
distributed
throughout
north
carolina,
specifically
to
asheville
for
emergency
housing
vouchers.
The
housing
authority
of
the
city
of
asheville
received
47
vouchers
and
those
are
to
be
distributed
locally
and
then.
C
C
C
So
now
we'll
get
specifically
into
the
fiscal
recovery
fund,
and
I
want
to
talk
about
the
allowable
uses
of
what
so
in
may.
The
treasury
department
has
issued
guidance
on
how
these
funds
can
be
spent.
So
again
we're
going
to
shift
a
little
bit
and
focus
specifically
on
the
26.2
million
dollars
that
the
city
is
receiving.
C
The
next
allowable
use
is
the
negative
economic
impacts
of
kova
19..
The
the
treasury
guidance
has
really
centered
a
lot
of
the
negative
economic
impacts
around
qualified
census
tracts.
So
any
programs
that
are
listed
under
negative
economic
impacts
there's
a
presumption
of
eligibility
if
it
falls
within
a
qualified
census
tract
and
just
in
case
anyone's,
not
aware.
That's
a
geographic
area
where
at
least
50
percent
of
the
households
have
an
income,
that's
less
than
60
of
the
area.
C
Median
gross
income
and
asheville
does
have
two
so,
and
this
is
direct
allocations
to
this,
could
include
direct
allocations
to
workers
and
households,
as
well
as
allocations
to
small
businesses
and
non-profits,
who
have
really
struggled
through
coven
19.
C
C
C
Okay,
the
next
category
of
allowable
uses
are
investments
in
water
infrastructure,
so
that
includes
water
and
sewer
infrastructure,
and
I
know
we
city
of
asheville
doesn't
have
a
sewer
system,
but
it
does
include
storm
water
as
well
in
that,
and
it
really
aligns
with
other
guidance
of
the
epa's
clean
water,
revolving
fund
and
drinking
water
state
revolving
fund,
so
they're
really
trying
to
align
with
guidance.
That's
already
out
there
for
grants
for
water
and
sewer
infrastructure
included
in
water
and
sewer
infrastructure.
C
Cyber
security
needs
to
protect
the
water
and
sewer
infrastructure,
and
also
to
support
efforts
that
address
climate
change,
and
then
the
last
allowable
use
under
infrastructure
is
broad
broadband
infrastructure
and
again
this
was
allowed
through
the
u.s
treasury
department.
C
So
I
want
to
focus
a
little
bit
on
the
key
dates
for
the
fiscal
recovery
funds
in
april
through
june.
There
were
a
few
major
things
that
happened
for
the
city.
The
u.s
treasury
department
issued
their
guidance
once
we
received
that
guidance,
the
city
started
identifying
potential,
internal
and
external
funding
needs
and
we've
developed
an
evaluation
process.
C
Additionally
in
may,
the
city
received
13.1
million,
and
so
that
was
part
of
what
was
identified
in
in
the
arpa
and
the
guidance
that
that
municipalities
would
receive
half
their
funding
in
may,
which
we've
already
received
and
we'll
will
receive
the
other
half
the
remaining
13.1
million
next
may
so
in
may
2022.
C
in
july
and
august,
and
so
this
is
what
is
currently
ongoing.
We're
evaluating
the
potential
funding
needs
and
we
hope
to
post
a
newly
created
job
for
recruitment,
and
that
was
that's
a
position
that
will
help
manage
these
funds
in
the
next
few
years
and
then
july
27th.
That's
today
we're
holding
the
work
session
with
all
of
you
and
to
talk
about
our
progress
and
to
give
some
really
initial
funding
recommendations
on.
We
will
not
be
taking
public
comment
today.
C
31St
is
the
first
submission
that
the
city
needs
to
to
send
in
to
the
treasury
department
that
will
outline
the
spending
that
has
occurred
through
july
31st
2021
and
the
treasury
department
is
requiring
after
august
31st
that
the
city
will
be
required
to
submit
quarterly
spending
plans,
and
then
lastly,
I
mentioned
this
already.
But
I
want
to
highlight
this
again,
so
the
city
will
receive
the
second
half
of
the
funding,
an
additional
13.1
million
in
may
2022.
E
Questions
have
a
brief
one:
have
we
are
we
targeting
a
particular
month
between
august
and
may
of
this
rfp
deadline?
Just
for
folks
that
might
be
listening
in
it
sounds
like
in
august
we'll
talk
about
the
funding
request
concept,
but
do
we
have
a
month
we're
targeting.
C
We
do
and
that
will
be
covered
later
in
the
presentation,
but
we're
looking
to
potentially
issue
rfp
in
september.
F
So
you
said
that
we're
only
considering
losses
from
parking
revenue,
what
I
mean,
I
know
that
the
civic
center
obviously
had
revenue
losses,
but
are
there
other
revenue
losses
that
we
are
not
considering.
F
C
Of
the
unallowable
uses
from
the
treasury
department
was,
it
couldn't
be
used
to
supplant
rainy
day
funds
so
really
to
bolster
fund
balance.
So
that's
really
what
we
were
focusing
on
were
the
funds
that
were
that
might
have
us,
might
have
a
struggling
fund
balance
at
the
end
of
this
year,
and
the
parking
fund
is
really
one
that
really
that
stood
out.
F
So
you
wouldn't
consider
the
heras
we
we
won't
consider
heras
this
building's
loss
revenue
losses
because.
C
Mostly
because
they
received
the
shuttle,
the
one
point-
the
1.6
million
and
their
fund
balance-
we're
we're
projecting
to
be
pretty
healthy,
okay,
and
that
said,
ultimately,
it
is
your
decision.
Okay,.
A
Well,
but
you
you,
it
sounds
like
you're.
It
sounds
like
the
areas
where
there
are
losses
like
transit.
You
know
the
civic
center
and
parking.
Those
are
our
three
main
areas
of
losses
and
you
already
see
transit
funding.
You
already
see
civic
center
funding.
You
didn't
see
parking
so
you're
putting
it
in
this
category.
A
G
A
little
unprepared
but
happy
to
come
up,
yeah
and
mayor.
I
think
you
said
it
correctly.
The
other
funds,
civic
center
and
transit-
are
receiving
their
own
grants
and
so
we're
not
looking
to
put
any
money
in
those
right
now
and,
as
you
all
know,
through
the
budget
process,
the
general
fund
did
really
well
this
year
with
sales
taxes.
So
we're
not
looking
to
put
any
money
in
in
the
general
fund
right
now,.
F
Right
and
we
didn't-
and
we
didn't
see-
a
big
loss
in
real
estate
taxes
right.
G
F
G
H
F
C
B
And
council
member
of
whistler,
we
initially
thought
that
we
were
going
to
have
to
do
a
plan,
and
that
was
the
schedule
of
why
we
were
having
workshops
and
all
those
kinds
of
things.
But
we
just
heard
from
the
treasury
department.
B
It's
in
flux,
and
they
said
you
don't
have
to
do
a
plan
and
we
said
yes,
so
we
we
don't
have
to
do
a
plan,
but
we
do
have
to
document
any
revenue.
That's
been
spent
of
any
credit.
C
C
B
I
think
on
the
reimagining,
some
of
the
next
steps
would
be
911
consolidation,
which
we
are
working
on
right
now
and
the
community
response
teams
which
we
are
working
on
right
now.
So
I
can't
remember
if
we
we
don't
have
a
proposal
for
the
use
of
arpa
funding
for
those
initiatives.
To
my
knowledge.
H
And
the
impact
the
community
engagement
that
shameka
did
with
us.
Will
we
anticipate
a
report
back
on
that
as
well?
At
some
point,.
B
Don't
know
that,
but
I
will
definitely
get
that
answer.
C
D
C
C
C
We
really
looked
at
three
major
processes
to
identify
potential
funding
categories,
so
the
first
was
community
engagement
data,
and
this
is
community
engagement
that
has
taken
place
that
the
city
has
has
done
over
the
last
few
years.
Through
that
process,
we
identified
15
categories
as
potential
funding
uses.
C
The
city
has
had
several
public
engagement
initiatives
recently
and
one
of
the
things
that
we
heard
repeatedly
what
from
the
community
was
there?
There
was
some
fatigue
around
engagement
and
being
asked
how
the
city
should
use
their
funds
and
they'd
like
to
see
us
actually
start
addressing
those
needs.
So
we
really
wanted
to
take
that
message
to
heart,
and
so
we
looked
at.
We
looked
at
the
engagement
initiatives
that
have
been
recently
under
have
been
undertaken,
and
that
includes
the
budget
engagement
process
that
was
just
a
few
months
ago.
C
So
through
the
community
engagement
efforts
and
I'm
not
going
to
go
in
detail
through
all
of
these
categories
that
were
identified,
but
all
of
these
all
the
categories
on
the
left
were
what
we
found
in
our
own
public
engagement
efforts.
One
of
the
things
that
we
did
consider
is
the
county
did
their
own
arpa
survey.
C
C
The
next
process
we
had
was
an
opportunity
for
employees
to
submit
internal
requests
and
our
internal
request
to
ask:
was
we
allowed
employees
to
to
request
categories
or
they
could
they
could
request
specific
projects?
But
I
want
to
really
emphasize
that
we
are
not
evaluating
specific
projects
when
any
projects
that
came
in
through
this
process
were
rolled
up
into
categories
and
that's
really
what
we're
looking
to
for
potential
funding
again.
Emphasis
at
this
point
is
on
categories
and
not
on
specific
projects.
C
So
through
the
internal
requests,
we
did
identify
an
additional
eight
categories
and
there's
really
two
major
themes
through
these.
They
tend
to
be,
and
I
think
the
reason
why
you're
seeing
additional
categories
coming
in
through
internal
requests,
some
of
them
are
employee,
focused
and
the
remainder
are
really
focused
around
infrastructure,
which
was
a
broad
category
that
came
out
of
community
engagement.
But
at
the
internal
request
we
started
breaking
that
up
into
into
more
specific
categories.
I
C
So
what
we
heard
in
the
community
engagement
was
small
business
recovery
in
general.
What
is
allowable
through
the
arpa
is
specifically
focused
on
the
impacts
of
covet
19.,
so
we're
taking
what
we
heard
in
the
community
and
tried
to
fit
them
into
the
allowable
uses
for
this
funding.
Does
that
help
clarify
not.
I
Really
because
early
in
the
slide
you
you
mentioned,
I
think
it
was
like
an
economic
income,
negative
economic
impact
or
is
specific
to
a
census
tract
it.
C
Is
so
the
treasury
department
guidance
outlined
the
negative
economic
impacts
if
we
use
the
funding
for
anything,
that's
included
under
negative
economic
impacts,
there's
a
presumption
of
eligibility
if
it's
in
a
qualified
census
tract,
if
it's
outside
of
that,
it
just
requires
more
justification
on
our
part
for
that
spending.
C
So
the
first
question
we
asked
was
if
there
were
any
additional
categories
to
consider
for
funding,
and
there
were
several
suggestions
for
for
specific
projects
and
we
made
sure
that
those
were
rolled
into
categories
and
then
there
were
three
additional
categories
and
I'm
going
to
go
through
these
individually
and
speak.
Why
we
included
them
or
did
not
include
them.
C
So
the
first
one
was
domestic
violence,
prevention
and
assistance,
and
that
is
the
category
that
we
identified
and
included
in
our
evaluation
process.
So
that
was
the
one
category
that
we
added,
and
that
was
because,
when
we
looked
at
other
funding
sources,
the
state
is
receiving
3.7
million
dollars.
But
to
us
that
didn't
feel
like
enough
for
domestic
violence,
prevention
and
assistance.
C
Several
of
you
mentioned
rental
and
homeownership
homeownership
assistance,
and
this
is
going
to
be
a
lot.
But
I
want
to
walk
through
all
the
different
funding
sources
that
are
already
available
for
rental
and
home
ownership.
Assistance,
so
I
mentioned
earlier
that
the
county
received
7.9
million
for
emergency
rental
assistance
of
that
7.9
million.
C
C
E
Thank
you.
I
just
wanted
to
add
one
comment,
because
it's
on
topic,
I
did
hear
from
pisgah
legal
one
of
our
partner
agencies
working
on
this,
that
they're
actually
seeing
a
problem
of
landlords,
accepting
large
lots
allotments
of
back
rent,
so
the
money
may
be
alec.
You
know
approved
for
a
particular
renter,
but
the
landlords
are
not
accepting.
So
we
have
other
things
in
outreach.
E
Yeah,
so
I'm
sorry
and
it's
probably
muffled
yeah,
so
we
have
a
situ.
We
have
situations
and
pisgah
shared
with
me
a
report
I
can
share
where
there
are
so
many
months
of
back,
rent
due,
but
that
renter
has
received
the
funds
through
the
local
government
or
the
pisgah.
But
the
landlords
are
refusing
to
accept
the
back
rent
and
renew
leases
and
it's
becoming
a
larger
problem
by
the
day.
A
E
F
A
And
pisgah
legal
does
have
a
great
program
to
help,
folks
that
are
facing
housing
and
security
and
dealing
with
landlords
and
residential
leases.
C
Thank
you
and
then
the
last
category
that
was
identified
through
the
council.
Certified
survey
was
educational
initiatives
and
we
did
not
include
this
as
a
category
to
be
evaluated
because
the
state
is
receiving
3.6
billion
dollars.
C
A
A
So
yeah
and
I
think
it's
confusing
for
a
lot
of
people,
because
in
north
carolina
you
know
the
education
funding
doesn't
come
through
the
city
at
all.
So
that
would
make
sense
to
me
that
it
wouldn't
come
into
our
accounts
before
it
went
anywhere
else.
C
The
second
question
that
we
asked
was
we
outlined
our
evaluation
approach
and
eric's
going
to
be
covering
that
in
a
few
minutes,
but
we
asked
all
of
you
if
you
had
an
for
agreement
with
the
evaluation
approach
and
six
out
of
seven
agreed,
and
there
was
one
comment
about
public
engagement.
I
hope
at
this
point
we've
at
least
helped
address
that
or
alleviate
that
concern.
H
As
the
person
who
is
the
one,
I
am
hearing
that
it
is
not
yet
addressed,
and
so
I
think
that
we
could
do
a
better
job
bringing
into
the
sunshine
first.
For
a
specific
example,
when
we
think
about
the
overlapping
of
those
community
engagement
efforts
was
the
point
system
used
then,
and
if
so,
could
that
be
shared
with
us?
Can
it
be
made
public.
H
H
B
So
I
I
want
to
be
perfectly
clear
in
terms
of
engaging
the
public.
We
have
engaged
the
public
in
terms
of
identifying
issues
and
needs,
irrespective
of
whether
it's
arpa
funding
our
general
fund
or
our
the
city's
budget
or
wherever
that
money
comes
from
going
forward.
B
So
I'm
I'm
hoping
that
there
is
not
a
perception
that
there's
anything
that's
not
done
above
board
or
that
we
are
not
providing
opportunities
for
the
public
to
have
input
as
to
how
we
spend
these.
These
resources.
I
H
Yeah,
I
think,
the
more
that
we
do
this
in
the
public
eye,
the
more
trust
that
we'll
have,
because
one
of
the
parts
of
this
input
fatigue
that
I
hear
is
that
the
communities
brought
in
last
and
so
as
we're
making
these
categories
and
identifying
our
funding
and
which
parts
we're
going
to
cover
of
our
revenue
losses.
For
example.
H
This
is
the
first
conversation
that
we've
had
in
the
public
and
we're
dealing
with
public
tax
dollars,
we're
a
public
body,
and
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
not
repeating
at
bringing
the
public
in
at
the
end
when
we're
asked
to
have
nothing
about
us
without
us,
is
for
us
conversation
of
bringing
people
at
the
table
at
the
beginning,
and
we
need
the
public
to
help
us
with
this
recovery.
So
I
don't.
B
Absolutely-
and
I
think
that's
why
we're
having
a
workshop
a
work
session
and
it's
why,
throughout
the
budget
process,
we
talked
about
arpa
funding
and
we
talked
about
well,
hopefully
we'll
find
out
when
the
eligible
guidelines
and
criteria
and-
and
I
hope
that
I'm
not
sounding
or
coming
across
being
argumentative,
I'm
just
suggesting
to
you
that
through
the
budget
process
which
just
ended,
we
we
had
discussions
about
issues
and
needs
and
that's
what
arp
funding
within
the
allowable
uses
ought
to
be
about
what
our
community
needs
and
that's
what
we're
trying
to
respond
to.
B
But
we
will
do
our
best
to
there
are
suggestions
or
things
that
you
all
want
us
to
do
differently.
A
Well,
why
don't
we
I
mean,
I
think
no
noted
the
comment
is
noted
and
if
we,
why
don't
we
move
through
this
and
then
kind
of
see
where
we're
all
at
in
terms
of
in
terms
of
next
steps,
I
mean
I
you
know
so
unless
anyone
objects
to
that,
that
would
be
my
suggestion.
C
Thank
you.
So.
The
third
question
that
we
asked
in
the
council
survey
was
how
funding
should
be
allocated
and
we
had
and
really
that
was
and
deborah
touched
on
this
at
the
beginning
of
the
presentation
and
we'll
be
asking
you
to
reaffirm
this.
We
know
that
we've
asked
this
in
the
council
survey
and
we'll
be
asking
later
today
as
well.
J
J
As
far
as
the
educational
part
and-
and
the
reason
I
said,
that
is
because
one
of
those
questions
up
there
was
one
that
I
was
concerned
about
is
providing
educational
assistance
for
different
for
people
in
the
community
and
three
some
of
the
people
in
the
community
have
come
to
me
and
said:
oh
sandra,
my
son
wants
to
go
to
a
b
tech
for
this,
or
he
wants
to.
You
know,
take
this
type
of
training,
but
they
don't
have
the
funds,
and
I
had
asked
deb
about
that
too,
is.
J
Employ
you
know,
basically,
it's
a
sustainable,
a
way
to
actually
get
the
community
up
and
running,
because
there
are
many
people
out
here
that
basically
need
different
educational
training
or
or
what
you
call
workforce.
Training
that
you
have
to
pay
for
and
they're
unable
to
you
know
do
certain
things.
So
I've
that's
what
I
was
really
concerned
about,
because
that
could
basically
help
a
lot
of
people
get
on
their
feet,
because
right
now,
the
way
the
market
is
set
up.
A
lot
of
the
jobs
that
are
available.
J
The
people
here
don't
have
the
training
and
a
lot
of
the
companies
really
don't
have
the
time
to
train
them.
But
yet
and
still
we
can
provide
educational
assistance
and
dave
pointed
out
to
me
that
av
tech
has
money.
But
the
thing
is,
even
though
those
places
have
money.
I'm
just
wondering:
could
the
city
take
some
type
of
initiative
to
really
with
this
money
to
be
able
to
help
people
get
on
their
feet
and
to
be
able
to
take
care
of
themselves
as
opposed
to
short-term
term.
C
I'm
hoping
this
addresses
your
question.
I
think
we
have
identified.
We
have
a
category,
that's
workforce
development
that
seems
to
speak
to
potentially
projects
like
you've
mentioned
and
separating
that
out
from
educational
initiatives.
I
think
workforce
development
probably
falls
under
educational
initiatives,
but
I
think
we
considered
it
more
as
school
for
the
educational
initiative
as
a
category
is
more
school
focused
and
we've
identified
workforce
development
as
a
category
that
we
are
considering.
J
And
the
thing
is
okay,
and
so,
in
other
words,
do
we
have
any
like
this
particular
gentleman?
I
just
want
to
give
an
example,
and
would
that
fall
under
that
particular
education?
He
was
more
or
less.
I've
had
a
lot
of
young
girls.
Ask
me
about
cosmetology
school.
That
is
a
big.
It's
it's
it's
for
the
black
community
that
could
help
a
lot
of
people
get
on
on
their
feet.
What
happens
with
that?
J
If
they
don't
have
licenses
and
certifications,
that's
what's
holding
a
lot
of
them
back
from
moving
to
that
next
level
to
be
able
to
make
enough
money
to
take
care
of
themselves.
Would
that
type
of
this?
These
are
type
of
educational.
You
know
training,
I'm
talking
about
not.
B
Yeah
and
I
think
workforce
development-
maybe
job
training-
is
the
broad
category.
The
educational
piece,
I
think,
is
probably
more
directed
to
an
educational
curriculum
of
schools
or
that.
B
F
You
made,
were
you
done,
you
may
deal
with
this
later,
but
when
we're,
when
we're
gonna,
look
at
the
projects
that
come
before
us,
how
are
we
going
to
take
into
account.
F
F
How
are
we
gonna
make
sure
that
that
nonprofit
is
getting
funded
by
the
right
source
and
not
being
overly
funded
by
several
by
several
parts
of
the
arpa
money
I
mean
it
just
seems
like
you
know,
you've
got
the
county
doing
the
same
kind
of
project
process.
You've
got
probably
the
education
system
doing
the
same
thing.
You've
and
you
know
you
said
all
these
various
agencies
have
gotten
funds.
So
how
are
we
going
to
coordinate
all
that
funding
to
make
sure
that
we're
spreading
it
out
and
that
people
aren't
getting
too
much?
C
I
think
that's
a
great
that's
an
excellent
point.
The
city
is
coordinating
really
closely
with
the
county
around
these
funds
and
we're
we're
meeting
almost
a
weekly
basis
talking
about-
and
we
know
that
the
process
the
city
is
undergoing
looks
different
than
the
county,
but
we
are.
We
are
in
pretty
constant
communication
in
a
lot
of
different
levels
about
it
and
I
think
we
need
to
we
can
we
can
expand
that
and
I
think
there
is
coordinated
coordination
with
several
other
agencies
as
well.
C
I
think
that's
already
happening,
and
I
think
it
will
continue
to
happen,
but
it
is
something
that
we'll
have
to
include
in
our
evaluation
process.
F
Right
yeah-
and
I
mean
I
just
you
know
from
a
timing
perspective.
I
think
we
also
have
to
be
somewhat
in
lockstep,
because
you
can't
you
know
some
other.
Some
non-profit
doesn't
want
us
to
assume
that
they're
they'll
get
funded
by
the
county
and
then
the
county
doesn't
do
it
and
then
our
and
our
process
is
closed,
so
not
only
coordinating
how
much
and
what
money,
but
also
timing
on
how
we
make
the
decisions
seems
like
it's
going
to
be
pretty
important.
F
B
B
It's
why
a
lot
of
the
front-end
information
that
we
were
providing
to
you
all
is
to
to
communicate
that
there
is
a
lot
of
opportunity.
Thank
god.
Excuse
me,
thank
goodness
out
there
that
the
community
has
access
to.
We
just
need
to
make
sure
that
one
of
the
one
one
of
the
guidelines-
and
it
wasn't
a
guideline
as
such
it
was
we
want
to
make
sure
that
we
have
maximum
impact.
B
We
wanted
to
make
sure
that
we
have
time
for
outreach
to
other
groups
who
may
not
have
participated
in
the
county's
rfp
process
that
we
do,
that
outreach
to
those
groups
to
say,
hey,
you
didn't
apply
for
the
county's
process.
Are
you
sure
you
don't
want
to
apply
to
the
cities?
And
if
you
do
do
you
know
how
to
do
it?
B
That's
we
are
trying
to
do
that
level
of
coordination
and
outreach
and
not
duplicate,
because
the
last
thing
we
need
to
do
is
to
duplicate
efforts
and,
as
you
said,
miss
whistler
not
fund
those
entities
that
most
needed
we're.
Also,
looking
at
this,
quite
frankly
as
an
opportunity
to
build
capacity
for
some
organizations
as
well,
it
may
not
be
a
whole
lot
of
money
that
is
given,
but
we're
hoping
that
we
can
start
building
more
capacity
for
non-profits
to
do
and
be
in
partnership
with
this
city.
F
Okay
and
to
follow
on
with
that
to
the
opioid
settlement
monies,
you
know,
I
don't
know
when
that
starts
to
come
in,
but
you
know
it
seems
like,
like
you
know,
when
we
think
about
like
reimagining
public
safety.
Maybe
there's
going
to
be
some
overlap
there,
so
we're
going
to
take
that
into
account
too
right
to
again
to
try
to
maximize
where
the
funds
go.
I
hope.
K
With
regard
to
the
opioid
settlement,
this
is
still
somewhat
speculative
because
we
do
not
have
a
final
accepted
agreement
by
all
of
the
states
which
is
necessary
in
order
to
finalize
the
agreement.
But
it
appears
that
that's
a
likely
finality
on
all
of
this.
The
payment
schedule
appears
to
be
starting
in
spring
of
next
year,
and
then
we
would
get
an
initial
payment
in
approximately
april
a
second
payment,
perhaps
in
june,
and
then
it
would
be
a
yearly
payment
thereafter,
every
summer
for
approximately
17
to
18
years.
K
C
L
We're
not
coming
today
with
recommendations,
we're
coming
with
some
tentative
results
of
the
process
that
we've
gone
through,
that
I'll
describe
in
a
moment,
and
I'm
gonna
show
you
the
results
and
then
we're
gonna
open
it
up
for
you
to
start
your
own
discussion
around
this.
L
What
we
did
was
we
put
together
an
evaluation
team
of
staff
from
all
16
departments,
and
we
asked
each
of
the
departments
to
nominate
several
people,
because
we
wanted
to
make
sure
that
we
were
getting
some
diversity,
at
least
on
the
staff
side,
between
not
only
the
different
departments
but
also
levels
in
the
organization.
L
Coming
into
the
evaluation
process
to
give
you
kind
of
as
as
good
a
result
as
as
possible
in
the
time
and
again,
just
to
reiterate
what
patricia
said
several
times,
their
job
was
to
kind
of
rank,
the
categories
that
the
24
categories
that
we
came
up
with
and
in
some
cases
they
had
example
projects.
They
could
use
to
kind
of
think
more
concretely
about
that.
But
all
of
this
is
all
at
the
category
level,
so
that
we
can
eventually
then
decide
where
that,
where
the
funding
will
go
and
get
into
the
specific
projects.
L
And
we
wanted
to
make
sure
that
we
had
a
kind
of
disciplined
way
of
thinking
through
how
we
were
coming
up
with
results.
We
shared
these
guiding
principles
with
you
during
one
or
two
of
the
budget.
Work
sessions
got
some
of
your
input
and
revised
them,
and
then
you
saw
in
the
council
survey
the
the
breakdown
in
weight.
L
We
wanted
to
really
focus
half
of
that
weight
is
on
equity
and
resilience,
specifically
around
recovery
and
and
kind
of
repairing
harms
from
the
pandemic,
and
then
the
rest
is
spread
through
the
other
categories
and
in
each
of
those,
and
we
did
share
that
in
the
in
the
council
survey.
There
were
some
questions
that
they
could
use
to
kind
of
think
through
the
process
of
how
to
rate
each
of
these
categories.
L
So
there
are
24
categories:
we've
divided
them
into
three
groups,
the
top
six
or
the
top
25
percent
top
scoring
middle
again,
the
the
six
and
then
the
fifty
percent
of
the
categories
that
kind
of
fell
below
in
scoring
in
the
in
the
second
half
and
then
what
we're
gonna
do
is
jump
from
there
into
a
google
doc
that
show
you
all
the
categories
in
those
three
buckets
and
allow
you
you
know
to
then
provide
input
on
where
you
think
things
might
need
to
land
differently.
L
So
this
is
what
came
out
as
the
top
six
categories
in
scoring
and
I'm
not
going
to
read
through
every
bullet
point.
I
will
sort
of
call
out
a
couple
of
these.
That
may
not
be
entirely
obvious
from
the
name
and
again
at
the
end
of
this,
I
will
be
I'll,
have
a
document
up
where
you
can
see
all
three
buckets
at
once.
L
The
community
communication.
One
was
thinking
particularly
about
infrastructure
in
order
to
do
continue
to
do
good
virtual
meetings,
but
also
upfitting
of
places
in
the
community
for
the
support
of.
L
What's
the
word,
I'm
looking
for
hybrid
meeting
capabilities
that
are
we're
getting
closer
to
where
people
actually
are,
so
that's
primarily
about
outfitting
those
sorts
of
facilities,
and
the
rest,
I
think,
are
pretty
clear
from
the
titles.
L
The
next
six
fell
largely
in
infrastructure,
with
the
exception
of
that
community-led
capacity
building
and
that
one
had
some
examples.
Around
neighborhood
resiliency
grants
things
like
a
community
planning
academy,
a
community
quarterback
organization.
That
sort
of
thing
were
the
examples
there
and
I
think,
councilwoman
ronnie
a
lot
of
that.
Several
of
those
came
out
of
the
climate,
justice
engagement
and
the
other
one
transportation
connectivity
infrastructure
is
things
like
sidewalks
and
crosswalks
and
greenways,
and
so
on.
L
And
then
the
remaining
12
categories
that
kind
of
fell
below
the
50
in
this
initial
scoring
are
up
there
and
I'll
just
call
out
to
explain
the
public
infrastructure
for
adaptability.
The
examples
there
included
things
like
permanent
portalet
bathrooms
downtown
the
expansion
of
the
avl
share,
share
space
program.
That
sort
of
thing.
L
A
google
doc
which
will
allow
us
to
do
two
things
one.
You
can
see
them
all
there
at
once,
where
they
fall,
and
then
we
also
can
take
notes
as
you
identify
things
that
you
would
like
to
prioritize
differently
than
they
they're
coming
out.
So
far,.
L
A
To
so
to
and
then
and
then
the
middle
and
low
will
argue
will
not
be
addressed
through
this
pot
of
money.
Well,
so
you
know,
I
think
this
is
an
interesting
exercise
to
give
this
sort
of
broad
direction
based
on
category,
because,
of
course,
what
happens
in
the
political
environment
is
then
a
specific
thing
results
as
a
selection
of
the
category
falling
under
the
category,
and
there
may
be.
A
You
know,
obviously
that
that
particular
project
will
get
pros
and
cons,
and
so
I
mean
so
I
just
you
know
I
think,
like
I
reserve
the
right,
for
you
know,
because
what's
going
to
happen,
is
we're
going
to
get?
We
have
some
of
the
money
we're
going
to
get
more
of
the
money
and
as
projects
fall
under
these
under
the
category
and
cut
they
will
have
to
be
voted
on
again
I
mean
the
funding
will
have
to
be
voted
on.
So
I
guess
it's
important
to
note.
A
A
You
know
that
sometimes
something
gets
to
us
and
we
say
you
know
what
I
know
you
think
that
falls
under
that
category,
but
that
doesn't
make
a
lot
of
sense
in
terms
of
the
pr
you
know
the
priorities
we're
hearing,
so
the
other
thing
that
I
need
a
little
clarity
on
affordable
housing
that
that's
you
know
our
wheelhouse
we're
right
there.
We
know
what
that
you
know
a
lot
of
what
the
tools
are
gonna,
be
there.
A
Community
communication,
homelessness
services,
we're
really
expanding
what
that
means
to
us
and
what
kinds
of,
and
we
have
a
kind
of
a
good
feel
now
for
what
kinds
of
projects
we're
even
talking
about
there.
But
what
does
public
health,
mental
health
substance
abuse
mean
when
we're
talking
about
the
city
of
asheville,
of
course,
because
we,
you
know
the
county
of
and
the
state
and
then
other
entities
like
mayheck
and
mental
health
providers
and
so
on
and
so
forth,
are
doing
a
lot
of
this
work.
L
So
well,
in
the
end,
the
interpretation
will
be
yours,
as
we
kind
of
go
out,
so
one
of
just
to
jump
forward
a
little
bit.
One
of
the
questions
will
be
whether
what
we
want
to
do
for
things
that
are
not
obviously,
city
of
asheville
implemented
whether
we
want
to
go
ahead
and
do
an
rfp
for
the
selected
categories.
That
will
be
part
of
the
decision
kind
of
guidance
today,
so
that
we
can
start
putting
together
a
plan
and
then
come
with
that
plan
in
august.
L
But
yes
for
that
category,
it
could
include
things
like
community
paramedics,
some
of
the
work
that's
already
going
on
around
reimagining
public
safety,
and
it
could
also
be
on
any
of
these
if
we're
doing
an
rfp
out
to
non-profits
or
other
agencies.
This
could
be
creative
things
that
the
community
might
might
come
up
with
as
well.
A
Well-
and
you
know
so-
I
have
seen
several
times
sitting
up
here-
great
ideas
for
things
that
the
city
should
be
doing,
that
the
city
doesn't
currently
do
and
each
time
we've
done
it.
There
have
been
some
successes,
but
it
has
been
an
incredible
struggle
and
we
often
hear
there
are
not
the
staff
resources
to
embark
on
a
new
thing.
A
We
don't
have
the
capacity
to
do
that.
We
don't
know
how
to
do
it,
so
we're
gonna
have
to
go,
learn
about
and
figure
that
out.
You
know
I'm
thinking
of
the
time
we
put
together
the
small
business
loan
program
I
mean
you
know.
I
think
it
took
us
a
couple
minutes
to
think
about
that
on
a
council
level
and
vote
for
it,
but
it
turned
into
this
incredible
staff,
project
and
endeavor,
and
then
the
administration
of
it
is
very,
very
difficult.
A
So
I
I
guess
I
just
worry
a
little
bit
like
it
sounds
a
little
bit
like
the
world.
Is
your
oyster
come
up
with
all
the
bright
ideas
you
could
possibly
think
of,
but
in
reality
my
understanding
is
this.
Funding
needs
to
be
spent
within
a
certain
amount
of
time.
It's
not
supposed
to
be
a
10-year
project.
A
This
is
supposed
to
be
a
relatively
short
like
in
the
you
know,
relatively
speaking,
compared
to
what
municipalities
normally
do
short
period
of
time,
so
I
would
assume
we
wouldn't
want
to
try
to
start
doing
something
we
don't
already
do.
I
would
assume
we
would
be.
We
would
want
to
try
to
build
off
of
what
we
do,
maybe
expand
something
that
we
do
maybe
do
something
a
little
different
than
what
we
do,
but
we
already
have
staff
that
are
kind
of
familiar
with
how
to
do
these
things
that
can
grow
it
am.
I
am.
B
Mayor,
I
think
you
gave
the
best
explanation
of
why
we
are
doing
this
process,
the
way
that
we
are
doing
it,
which
is
trying
to
understand.
Where
is
our
lane?
Where
do
you
want
us
to
be
in
terms
of
the
expenditure
of
this
funding?
Do
you
want
us
to
only
look
at
things
that
we
are
directly
connected
in
terms
of
a
service
delivery?
B
Looking
at
those
things
or
do
you
want
us
to
kind
of
get
out
of
our
lane
to
partner
but
not
be
directly
responsible
for
a
long-term
relationship
that,
if
it's,
if
we
get
a
project,
that's
like
a
year
where
the
expenditures
can
be
spent
within
that
time
frame
and
it
doesn't
obligate
us
to
a
much
longer
term
relationship
that
that's
that's.
Why
we're?
D
Can
someone
give
me
a
provided
definition
for
small
business?
What
does
that
mean
fewer
than
55
100
employees
50
employees,
and
does
it
take
into
account
revenue,
so
you
could
have
a
two-person
business
that
brings
in
six
million
dollars.
I
I
think.
L
Yeah
and
for
the
categories
we
didn't
narrow,
the
definition
too
much,
because
I
think
that's
part
of
the
next
phase
is
to
say
how
exactly
do
we
want
to
target
this
so
small
business
recovery,
one
way
of
targeting
it
might
be.
Let's
look
at
businesses
that
were
disproportionately
impacted.
That
would
be
very
much
in
the
spirit,
obviously,
of
our
own
principles,
but
also
of
the
guidance
from
the
treasury
that
might
be
a
way
of
narrowing
it,
rather
than
just
a
blanket
two-person
versus
ten
person,
but
that's
part
of
the
guidance
that
we
know
and.
I
That's
kind
of
where
I
was
going
earlier
when
I
mentioned
you
know
small
business
recovery
to
see
if
we
could
take
a
a
narrow
look
at
it
to
look
at
home-based
businesses
or
how
gender
and
race
is
impacted,
because
for
me,
workforce
development
and
small
business
recovery,
I
feel
like
they
have
other
opportunities
for
funding
or
similar
government
funding
down
the
road
and
for
small
business
recovery
at
the
onset
of
the
pandemic.
There
was
a
lot
of
support
and
probably
stuff
that
will
resume.
H
I
have
a
question:
can
we
go
back
to
the
slide
with
guiding
principles,
because
I'm
thinking
a
lot
about,
we
spent
that
time
in
the
retreat
together
and
talking
about
how
equity
needed
to
be
the
center
of
our
work,
and
when
I
look
at
the
guiding
principles,
I
think
it's
okay,
instead
of
equity
being
beside
all
of
these,
can
it
be
within
all
of
these
shouldn't.
We
invest
in
equitable
resilience
shouldn't.
H
We
make
sure
we
have
leverage
our
partnerships
and
address
disparities
that
we've
already
identified
instead
of
equity
being
separate,
be
in
all
of
them
and
then,
when
we
consider
the
census
tracts,
then
we're
addressing
our
disparities
instead
of
it
being
something
that
we
do
at
the
end
put
it
at
the
beginning.
But
maybe
I'm
I'm
just
that's
what
I'm
thinking
of
when
I
think
about
our
retreat
and
where
we
said
we
were
going
to
go
with
this.
H
So
then,
when
we
get
to
what
should
be
top
middle
and
lower,
then
maybe
we
could
be
doing
some
of
that
work
that
I'm
hearing
into
the
table.
B
So
yeah,
I
I
think
that
again
equity
is,
it
is
what
we
do
and
it
will
be
looked
at
within
each
one
of
these
categories
of
of
areas
of.
B
Funding
when
we
get
projects
in
specific
projects
that
are
proposed
to
us,
the
categories
and-
and
I
don't
know
mr
ronnie,
do
you
mind
if
we
move
off
the
oh,
of
course,
the
principles
to
the.
D
We
landed
with
our
retreat,
so
meaning,
if
you
have
a
pot
of
a
million
dollars,
we
have
so
much
like
this
group
of
people
gets
to
apply
first
right.
This
group
gets
to
apply
second.
H
I
know
the
slides
were
sent
to
us
this
morning.
B
And,
and
so
if
I'm,
if
I'm
hearing
both
of
you
all
thought
processes,
for
example,
if
it's
you
all
said,
you
know
what
affordable
housing
generally
is
if
it's
one,
let's
just
do
small
business
recovery,
and
I
think
what
I
heard
is
a
combination
of
how
can
we
prioritize
geographic
location,
the
census
tracts?
B
How
can
we
identify
size
and
and
have
a
definition
of
what
a
small
business
is?
If
that's
what
you
all
want
us
to
do
be
emphasizing
small
businesses,
and
I
think,
thirdly,
understanding
somehow
how
that
particular
business
was
impacted.
The
significance
of
the
of
the
impact,
I
I
don't
know
how
we,
how
how
we
would
a.
J
Thing
is
that,
but
I
think
that
when
we
were
discussing
as
like
shaniqua
said
earlier,
you've
got
a
lot
of
different
programs
that
are
out
there
that
basically
assist
the
small
businesses.
But
what
happens
is
the
ones
that
we
as
a
city
should
be
interested
in?
Are
those
that
cannot
qualify
for
those
programs,
because,
unfortunately,
you
have
to
have
tax?
You
have
profit
and
loss.
You
have
to
have
some
type
of
track
record
and
most
small
businesses,
especially
in
the
minority
community.
B
J
I'm
looking
at
more
or
less
sort
of
taking
it
from
the
approach
of
finding
those
businesses
that
have
been
operating
do
not
have
proper
paperwork.
You
see
what
I
mean.
J
Submit
to
somewhere,
you
know,
I'm
just
and
and
basically
have
a
place
to
go
where
we
can
actually
look
at
each.
You
know
business,
you
know,
have
someone
look
at
it
and
see
what
the
funding
can
do
to
help
them,
get
back
on
the
fee
on
their
feet
and
be
able
to
recover
and
then
once
we
also
do
that
we
help
them
get
their
records
in
in
line
and
so
that
they
can
qualify.
J
A
So
this
question-
I
was
just
going
to
say
this:
this
would
fall
into
the
category
of
we.
We
do
a
little.
You
know
we
do
do
minority
business
support.
We
do
have
I
mean
we
do
have
some
of
these
services,
but
to
the
level
you're
talking
about
we're
kind
of
a
consultant.
Yes,
so
you
know
we
don't
so
that's
not
something
the
city
does.
So
this
would
be
one
of
those
categories
of
like.
A
Do
we
issue
an
rfp
looking
for
some,
a
non-profit
or
a
service
provider
who
does
this
kind
of
work,
doesn't
have
to
be
a
nonprofit
actually
but
and
and
what
we
could
contract
with
to
provide.
J
To
me,
I
think
it
just
sort
of
fills
that
gap,
that's
being
missed.
The
people
that's
been
followed,
followed
me
in
between
the
gaps
and
not
being
able
to
get
services,
because
I
will
tell
you
that
it
is
tons
of
businesses-
small,
that's
in
the
minority
community.
That
said
no
I
couldn't
apply.
I
couldn't
apply
because
I
didn't
have
certain
things
and.
H
So
my
question
around-
that
is
what
I
was
hearing
when
small
businesses
were
first
eligible
for
recovery.
Funds
is
if
we
just
meet
our
targets
as
far
as
like
population
demographics,
then
all
we're
really
doing
is
perpetuating
the
situation
that
we
find
ourselves
in
now.
So
if
we
find,
if
we're
really
going
to
come
at
this
with
a
equitable
recovery,
we
wouldn't
just
hit
demographic
targets.
We'd
find
the
people
who've
been
falling
through
the
gap
historically
and
even
well.
L
And
first
I
just
I
want
to
acknowledge
the
point:
councilwoman
roney
and
one
of
the
challenges,
particularly
when
we're
looking
at
categories
is.
L
We
can
take
most
of
these
categories
and
come
up
with
a
wide
variety
of
projects,
some
of
which
would
very
much
align
with
the
principles
of
equity
that
we
want
to
center
and
others
absolutely
would
not,
and
so
we
tried
to
you
know,
focus
some
of
the
examples
on
those,
but
it
was
one
of
the
challenges
of
this
initial
one,
and
this
is
very
helpful
to
say:
no,
we
really
want
to
make
sure
that,
when
we're
looking
at
workforce
development,
if
we're
looking
at
small
business
recovery,
we
want
to
look
at
businesses
that
experience
disparate
impact.
L
First,
and
also
you
know
one
of
the
questions
and
it
came
out
of
the
equity
budget
tool
that
we
we
used
here
was,
you
know:
does
the
proposal
address
existing
disparities
that
may
or
may
not
have
been
exacerbated
but
they're
already
behind
and
even
if
they're,
only
as
much
further
behind
as
everybody
else,
they're,
probably
taking
a
disparate
impact
just
because
they're,
starting
at
a
at
a
at
a
at
a
less
healthy
place?
So
this
is
the
kind
of
guidance
where
we
did
the
best.
L
We
could
you
know
by
kind
of
weighting
it
fairly
highly,
but
we
would
still
want
to
really
do
that
a
little
bit
differently
on
individual
projects.
J
A
These
categories
to
help
us
evaluate
the
top
middle
and
low
priorities,
because
you
know
they
are
just
categories
so
that
there's
lots
of
things
that
could
come
under
them
and
I
think
also
staff
is
hearing
us
talk
about
specific.
L
F
Well,
yeah,
I
mean
I
think
like
for
me.
What
would
what
would
help
is
you
know
if,
if,
if
small
business
recovery,
for
example,
stays
in
the
top,
then
I
think
even
by
that,
we
need
to
define
it
to
say
it's
going
to
focus
on
people
who
didn't
get
help
didn't
get
previous
government
help
and
either
location-wise
it's
low-income
census,
area
or
or
you
know,
minority
business,
etc,
etc.
F
So
that
we're
not
so
that
we
kind
of
know
in
our
minds
what
what
we're
talking
about
here
and
and
while,
while
we're
on
the
topic
or
maybe
I'm
gonna,
I'm
gonna
tend
to
go
to
places
where
we've
got,
that
it's
closer
to
our
wheelhouse
and
hope
and
war
and
hope
and
work
with
the
other
agencies
to
make
sure
that
they
are
covering
things
that
are
not
in
our
wheelhouse
like
so
for
me,
the
public
health,
mental
health
substance
abuse-
I
am
you
know-
and
I've
said
this
more
than
once.
F
The
city
knows
how
to
do
that,
something
the
county
works
on
et
cetera,
et
cetera,
and
so
to
me,
that's
not
as
much
in
our
wheelhouse,
and
so
I'm
going
to
be
looking
at
things
where,
where
there's
a
go-to
person,
you
know
I'm,
we
know
who
is
an
expert
in
that
in
the
city
and
and
we're
not
just
you
know,
trying
to
fulfill
everyone's
dreams,
especially
when
we're
looking
at
so
many
other
agencies
have
funding,
and
the
fact
that
you
have
indicated
that
you're
working
hard
with
those
other
agencies
to
make
sure
it's
coordinated.
F
So
my
focus
is
going
to
be
things
that
we've
already
that
we're
already
doing
something
around,
because
even
if
we're
going
to
give
the
money
to
an
outside
agency,
we
still
have
to
have
the
ability
to
assess
that
and
to
look
at
how
they're
using
the
funding
going
forward
and
that
you
know
assess
how
they're
how
they're
spending
it
and
that
did
they
did
you
know,
are
they
spending
it,
according
with
our
rfp,
etc,
and
so
the
the
farther
we
get
away
from
our
wheelhouse,
the
more
uncomfortable
I'm
going
to
be
with
that.
F
So
that's
kind
of
I
I
don't
know
how
we're
you're
going
to
go
about
scoring
whether
we
all
get
a
dollar
and
we're
supposed
to
allocate
or
whatever,
but
that's
going
to
be
kind
of
how
I
think
about
it,
especially
given
that
we've
got
to
spend
this
money
within
a
relatively
short
period
of
time,
and
you
know
we
already
know
we
are-
are
not
staffed,
where
we
should
be.
That's
just.
A
Where
I
am,
can
I
ask
another
process
question
since
I'm
kind
of
obsessing
over
this
process,
but
when
we,
when
this
comes
back
to
council
at
our
last
meeting
in
august,
our
only
meeting
in
august,
which
is
august
24th,
is
is
what
you're
going
to
be
asking
council
to
vote
on
this,
the
the
categories?
It's
not
going
to
be
the
top
middle
low.
It's
going
to
be.
You
know
we
had
this
work
session.
We
talked
about
these
categories
and
finalize
our
our
direction.
I
mean
technically
we
don't.
A
A
I
think
it
would
be
helpful
because
you
know
I
think
you
look
at
this
list
and
I
think
you
know
if
you're,
a
member
of
the
public
and
you're
looking
at
this
you're
saying,
I
can't
believe
you
know,
child
care
is
your,
is
a
low
priority
for
you,
you,
the
most
heartless
people
ever
met,
but
but
what?
What?
What
we've
talked
about
here
and
what's
difficult
for
people
to
understand
is
just
exactly
the
fact
that
there
are
these.
A
All
these
other
entities
are
all
getting
money
to
do
stuff
and-
and
there
are
other
groups
that
are
getting
money
for
child
care,
for
example.
So
is
there
a
way
to
have
like
a
one
sheeter
or
something
that
kind
of
lets
us
know
locally
regionally?
Who
else
is
getting
what
and
what
their
money?
You
know
just
bullet
point
kind
of
generally
what
they're
getting
money
for,
because
I
you
know
I
I
don't.
I
just
anticipate
we're
going
to
hear
comments
like
I
can't
believe,
you're,
not
prioritizing.
You
know
something
very
important
on
this
list.
F
Right
like
what
patricia
talked
about
at
the
beginning,
where
you
said
you
know
the
state's
getting
this
I
mean.
I
think
it
wasn't
on
your
it
wasn't
out,
but
let's
let's
get
that
out
there
publicly
so
that
you
know
we
at
least
can
answer
those
kind
of
questions
and
answer
kind
of
how
did
we?
How
did
we
come
up
with
this?
Because
it
was
informed
by
the
fact
that
there's
other
funds
available
so
maybe.
C
There
is
some
limitations
on
what
is
actually
being
reported
out,
but
I
think
we
can
do
a
better
job
of
putting
out
in
public
a
more
comprehensive
list
of
at
least
available
funding
and
what
what
we
know
that
we've
identified
I
mean-
and
I
did
a
little
bit
of
that-
but
it
wasn't
comprehensive
by
by
any
means
of
what
is
circulating
throughout.
A
E
B
L
C
Okay
and
I
think,
there's
that
that
has
been
allocated
there's
a
couple
of
broader
buckets
that
are
at
the
federal
level.
Okay,
I
just
think
haven't
been
allocated
at
this
point,
or
at
least
I
was
unable
to
find
more
specific
information.
Okay,.
H
Can
I
get
some
clarity
on
community
communication,
which
is
listed
a
top
priority
and
how
that's
different
from
community-led
capacity
building.
L
So
the
community
communication
category
was
specifically
infrastructure
around
public
meetings
and
public
engagement
to
be
able
to
do
more
public
engagement
closer
to
people
in
the
community,
as
well
as
upgrading
our
ability
to
do
remote
meetings.
So
that
was
much
more
one
way
of
thinking
about
it
is
that
was
much
more
city-led,
whereas
community-led
capacity
building
is
much
more
community-led.
H
Okay,
so
if
we
were
looking
at
community-led
capacity
building,
whether
I
think
some
other
words
were
used
that
came
out
of
the
climate
justice
initiative
but
durham
has
an
example
of
engagement
ambassadors.
We
could
also
do
participatory
budgeting
and,
in
that
way,
you'd
have
a
community-led
way
to
address
some
of
the
things
they're.
Actually
in
the
lower
category.
It
would
be
up
to
the
community
to
prioritize
it.
It
could
be
environmental
sustainability,
it
could
be
food
security
and
community
gardens,
it
could
be
infrastructure
or
it
could
even
be
affordable
housing
options.
H
So
I'm
curious
if
it's
a
top
priority
of
council.
Obviously
democracy
and
democratic
process
is
very
important,
but
if
we're
really
talking
about
what
is
the
price
tag
on
community
communication?
Is
it
a
tripod
and
an
ipod
and
a
youtube
login
so
that
we
can
stream
and
archive
meetings
immediately?
Are
we
talking
about
a
whole
entire
another
program?
Are
we
talking
about
staffing?
L
And
I
don't
remember
the
exact
amount
for
that
project.
I
think
the
community
communication,
the
cape
one.
L
And
I
think,
there's
a
variety
of
ways
we
could
address,
that
I
mean
being
able
to
do
something
like
we're.
Doing
here
obviously
requires
more
infrastructure,
something
that
might
be
out
more
in
the
community
and
but
still
able
to
do
hybrid
might
be
something
simpler.
E
Thank
you.
I
have
one
other
comment
about
in
the
low
category
you
had
mentioned
that
public
infrastructure
for
adaptability
included,
potentially
the
outdoor
loo,
the
portland
loo
and
the
expanded
shared
asheville
shared
spaces
initiative,
which
is
the
outdoor
dining
to
me.
Those
are
pretty
integral
to
what
I
would
consider
small
business
recovery
and
just
even
staying
alive
during
this
kind
of
situation.
So
I'm
curious
if
those
could
be
blended
or
or
if
we're
really
just
not.
E
L
So
that,
and
one
of
the
things
that
we
identified
early
on
is
these
are
not
necessarily
disjoint
categories.
A
lot
of
them
overlap
in
various
ways,
but
yeah
we
could
absolutely
kind
of
roll
in
that
as
part
of
our
small
business
recovery.
F
L
L
So
one
of
the
values,
as
we
were
looking
at
leveraging
partnerships
as
one
of
the
guiding
principles
we
wanted
to
make
sure
we
weren't
duplicating
what
other,
what
other
sources
could
provide.
At
the
same
time,
you
do
want
to
leverage-
and
I
would
say,
adding
into
the
principles
if
you've
got
something
that
actually
hits
three
categories.
That's
good!
L
A
Okay,
so
council,
I
think
we,
you
know
we're
at
the
stage
where
we're
at
the
end
of
this
work
session,
and
we
just
want
to
confirm
that
these
are
the
categories
we
want
them
to
stay
like
this.
A
A
Water
infrastructure,
we,
you
know,
we
maintain
a
separate
water
fund.
We
put
in
place
new
fees
after
the
big
lawsuit
to
deal
with
capital,
so
I
kind
of
feel
like
that's
addressed,
and
you
know
anyway.
I
think
we
I'm
assuming
that
middle
category
is
made
up
of
a
lot
of
things
that
are
already
being
addressed
otherwise
by
the
city
and
and
so
again
kind
of
focusing
the
arpa
funds.
That's
how
these
these
things
landed
in
the
categories
they
landed
in
and
thinking
that.
B
A
And
and
to
and
to
that
end,
just
this
morning
I
did
a
press
conference
with
other
mayors
in
north
carolina
raw
rawing
around.
Please
congress
pass
that
pass
that
bill.
So
hopefully
that
will
happen.
L
So,
just
to
clarify
the
question
a
little
bit,
because
one
thing
I
heard
from
councilwoman
rony
is
if
we
had
community-led
capacity
building
in
as
one
of
the
top
categories
that
actually
allow
might
be
a
mechanism
for
allowing
the
community
to
bring
in
other
priorities
because
they
felt
they
were
of
value.
So
I
just
want
to
put
that
question
out
there,
whether
that
is
one
of
the
things
that
you
all
are
asking
for.
A
Can
you
can
you
differentiate
between
community
communication?
That
is
like
just
the
city's
efforts
to
communicate
around.
L
B
So
so
it's
city-led,
if,
if
I
could
give
up
give
an
example
when
we
had
our
information
sharing
and
truth-telling
sessions,
it
was
difficult
for
us
to
go
out
into
the
community
because
of
just
the
logistics
of
technology
and
linking
and
and
all
that,
and
we
did
it
in
this
center.
But
then
we
connected
at
the
eddington
center.
I
believe,
and
we
had
that
one
opportunity.
B
B
I
B
H
Right
because
we
have
small
level
organizations
that
are
streaming
from
venues
all
over
the
city.
One
of
them
is
in
this
room
right
now
and
like
I,
just
I'm
really
surprised
that
the
budget
need
for
that
would
be
super
high
compared
to
something
like
affordable
housing.
B
And-
and
I-
and
I
hope
that
this
is
looked
at,
as
you
know,
staff
did
an
analysis,
and
this
these
were
the
results
you
all
we
are
asking
you
all
to
say.
Does
this?
Does
this
feel
good
in
terms
of
top,
and
do
you
want
to
move
things
that
we
may
have
missed
from
the
middle
and
the
low
into
the
top
category?
That's
really
what
we're
talking
about
all
we're
talking
about.
Okay
is
what
what
did
we?
B
L
H
And
can
I
clarify
that
we
were
talking
about
this
infrastructure
potential
infrastructure
funding,
so
should
we
middle
prioritize
things
like
transportation,
connectivity
infrastructure,
which
is
something
very
near
and
dear
to
my
heart,
if
we're
anticipating
another
pool
of
funds,
maybe
this
needs
to
take
a
cautious
back
burner
I'll
hear
about
it
later
and
thankfully,
because
I
do
appreciate
public
engagement
so
that
we
can
pull
something
like
you
know:
environmental
sustainability
or
food
security
into
a
middle
column.
L
Well,
I
think
one
there's
always
the
danger
of
planning
around
something
that
hasn't
happened
yet,
and
so
we
don't
know
exactly
what
what
that
infrastructure
agreement
will
come
out
to
be,
and
I
think
I
think
and
correct
me
if
I'm
wrong,
but
I
think
really,
the
big
question
is
going
to
be
what's
in
the
top,
not
what
shifts
back
and
forth
between
middle
and
low,
because
one
of
the
realities
is
that
we
will
have
more
opportunities
for
things
to
fund
than
we
will
have
funds.
I
So
I
wanted
to
see
food
security
move
up,
but
I
also
wanted
to
change
the
language
a
bit
from
security
to
system,
because
security
is
just
access
and
accessibility,
but
we're
receiving
emails
right
now
about
how
many
food
programs
are
not
practicing
food
recovery.
So
we're
throwing
away
a
lot
of
food.
So
if
we
would
change
this
to
a
food
system,
then
I
think
yeah
I'll
feel
better
about
it
and
I
think
every
it'll
have
a
it'll
be
a
lot
more
effective.
H
L
A
A
A
I
A
Okay,
so
we
need
to
get
get
on
board
with
this
process,
because
my
understanding
is
all
middle
and
lows
going
away
we're.
We
are
going
to
be
just
telling
staff
what
the
top
priority
is
to
then
go
work
on
projects
for
this
arpa
money.
Now,
in
the
grand
scheme
of
things,
it's
probably
helpful
for
staff
to
hear
us
have
a
discussion
about
what
things
are
important
to
us
and
might
not
rise
to
this
top
level,
but
we
still
want
to
emphasize.
A
A
L
L
L
One
are
things
that
the
city
would
just
do
internally,
in
which
case
we
would
just
we
would
go
through
and
have
you
approve
the
projects,
but
that
would
be
implemented
by
us.
The
other
would
be
an
rfp
process
out
to
the
community,
and
one
way
of
doing,
that
is
to
say
the
following
three
five,
ten,
whatever
you
decide,
categories
are
where
we
want
to
hear.
L
B
C
So
before
we
go
back
to
categories
that
we're
asking
for
y'all's
recommendation
and
even
how
you
would
like
it
to
be
allocated
whether
it's
a
few
categories
or
more
categories,
we
want
to
walk
through.
What's
already
what's
already
been
approved
and
what
is
coming
up
for
approval
tonight
and
in
august.
C
C
No
actually
there,
the
city
also
submitted
a
a
bid
to
the
county's
rfp
process
for
the
same
amount.
So
that's
split
between
the
city
and
the
county,
the
whole
per
oh
boy.
The
whole
price
is.
A
C
This
slide
as
well,
and
we
had
mentioned
that
we're
also
considering
2
million.
This
is
the
first
time
you've
seen
the
2
million,
but
the
parking
fund
claiming
for
revenue
losses
worth
looking
at
about
a
2
million
loss
that
would
help
help
the
parking
fund
recover
and
then
additionally,
I
mean
we
had
mentioned-
and
I
know
y'all
had
talked
to
previous
budget
work
sessions,
potentially
hiring
one
to
two
staff
to
help
manage
these
funds.
J
Question
this
is
probably
sort
of
off
right
now,
but
I
was
just
wondering
I
know
we
were
talking
about
at
the
opiod
settlement
and,
if
that
one
it
does
come
to
fruition,
is
it
any
way
that
the
monies
that
the
city
get
that
we
could
actually
move
some
of
that
money
into?
You
know
for
the
as
far
as
the
hotel
acquisition-
and
we
can
put
it
back.
K
I
I
think
we
probably
can
it's
it's
still
again
to
be
completely
determined
what
the
allowable
uses
of
the
opioid
funds
are
going
to
be,
but,
as
I
understand
it,
on
the
current
draft
of
the
settlement
agreement,
there
is
quite
a
bit
of
money
for
the
types
of
services
that
would
be
overlapping
in
some
of
the
estimated
costs
for
the
operation
of
that
shelter.
K
B
F
F
Okay,
so,
okay,
thank
you.
Well,
I'm
going
to
put
my
six
cents
in
here.
I
would
take
out
which
see
I'm
taking
something
out
at
the
time.
F
I
would
kind
of
combine
the
small
business
or
cover
in
workforce
development,
and
then
I
would
move
up
I'm
supportive
of
the
food
system,
but
I
would
also
move
up
city
infrastructure
to
high
again
with
the
idea
that
is
it
in
our
wheelhouse.
F
Can
we
do
it
relatively
quickly,
because
I
mean
you
know
out
in
the
community?
It's
like,
oh
well,
you've
got
four
years
to
spend
it.
I
mean
it
takes
us
a
long
time
to
plan,
etc,
etc
and-
and
then
I
guess,
given
the
time
frame,
I'm
also
you
know
kind
of
thinking
about
affordable
housing
is
going
to
be
a
tough
spend
if
we
have
to
have
projects
in
place
and
actually
spend
them.
F
Unless
we've
got
a
bunch
of
people
and
and
again
I
don't
know
that
this
would
be
the
right
category,
but
we're
not
going
to
be
able
to
give
money
to
somebody,
and
then
they
don't
spend
it
right.
I
mean
it
has
to
be
literally
spent.
So
so
you
know
in
when
you
think
about
affordable
housing.
How
long
does
it
like
if
we
don't
have
it
on
our
table
today,
it's
going
to
take
two
years
to
get
a
project
down.
I
mean
at
least
that's.
D
F
But
purchasing
it
I
mean
literally,
you
gotta
find
the
land,
negotiate
it
and
purchase
it
within
a
two
to
four
year
period
of
time.
So
I'm
just
saying
I
mean
so
I
have
a
concern
about
you
know.
If
we're
going
to
put
a
lot
of
money
there,
can
we
really
execute
against
that
in
affordable
housing
because
it
just
takes
a
long
time
and
she's
exactly.
J
F
I
want
to
get
it
in
the
coffers
and
I
want
to
know
that
we
have
the
we
have
the
staff
people
that
can
do
it
and
we
could
you
know
to
you
what
what
is
the
shovel
ready
kind
of
idea
is,
is
why
I'm
I'm
moving
city
infrastructure
into
the
top
priorities,
because
I
as
well
as
some
community
partnerships,
so
that's
where
I
am
on.
J
That-
and
one
of
my
concerns
is
really
if
you're
going
to
get
back
to,
it,
is
affordable
housing
and
I'm
trying
to
figure
out
how
financially
you're
going
to
actually
what
can
you
do
with
all
the
other
things
in
that
column
that
are
really
things
that
we
really
need
in
the
community
to
make
an
impact,
affordable,
housing,
the
amount
of
money
it
takes
to
to
to
to
find
you
know
a
certain
percentage
of
homes
that
will
make
an
impact
on
the
community
that
there
there's
not
enough
money
that
we
can
even
consider
the
affordable
housing.
J
I
think,
as
far
as
the
rental
assistance
and
things
of
that
nature,
that
makes
sense
but
the
actual,
affordable,
affordable
housing
component.
I
do
not
see
how
it
can
fall
financially
in
that
column,
with
the
commitments
that
we
have
so
far
and
the
amount
of
money
we
have
left
to
spend.
H
Is
there
any
guidance
with
the
infrastructure
bill
if
it
does
pass
congress
that
the
infrastructure
bill
could
go
towards
affordable
housing,
land
banking,
land
trusts.
D
D
H
K
Updates
it
does.
I
would
say
at
this
point
that
it
is
unlikely
that
the
kind
of
affordable
housing
that
the
city
would
be
attempting
to
create
would
be
covered
under
that
infrastructure
bill.
H
A
So
I'm
a
little
bit
worried
about
how
that
how
long
this
is
taking
us
to
do
this,
so
this
seems
like
we
might
want
to
sleep
on
it
and
and
we
want
stickers
and
we
I.
F
A
So
so,
but
I'm
worried
about
the
timing.
If
we,
if
we
did
another
work
session,
would
we
need
to
schedule
it?
Can
we
schedule
it
before
the
next
council
meeting
same
day
or
do
we
need
to
do
it
like?
A
Well,
I
don't
I
don't
I
I
mean
you
know
what
that's
a
good
question,
because
I
I
think,
given
how
much
money
is
left,
I
mean
I
kind
of
wonder
what
is
even
possible
with
the
funds
we've
received
already,
knowing
that
we're
not
going
to
get
the
next
13
million
for
a
year.
Now,
all
of
that
chart,
you
just
showed
us
added
up
to
more
than
13
million
dollars.
A
I
know
all
of
it
doesn't
have
to
be
spent
right
this
second,
some
of
it
does
some
of
it's
already
spent
and
some
of
it's
going
to
be
spent
very
quickly.
Some
of
it
is
going
to
go
out.
At
least
the
I'm
like
the
emergency
shelter
is
a
three-year
allocation,
so
I
guess
I
just
wonder
if
we're
kind
of
doing
like
this
giant
discussion
here
with
this
big
existential
conversation
when
in
reality
the
ability
to
do
do
things
is
pretty
limited
and
maybe
it'd
be
better
to
get
more
focused.
A
I,
but
I
I'm
sensitive
to
the
fact
that
there's
you
know
by
comparison
over
at
the
county,
they've
got
double
the
funding,
they're
doing
a
huge
proposal
to
ask
people
to
bring
their
requests.
You
know
we're
we're,
obviously
in
a
different
situation,
because
our
funding
is
less
and
a
lot
of
it
is
already
has
already
been
spent.
So
I'm
wondering
if
council
do
you?
Do
you
like
this
approach
to
figuring
out
how
to
spend
this
money?
A
Do
you
want
to
do
these
categories
and
then
see,
and
then
then
we
just
start
objecting
to
every
project
that
comes
up
through
through
those
categories
I
mean
I'm
just
predicting
here,
but
but
or
do
you
want
to
just
go
straight
to
like,
let's
kind
of
let's
kind
of
think
about
this
more
on
a
project
based
level.
E
I
guess
we've
lost
it
at
the
moment
and
to
see
a
9
million
dollar
9.2
million
dollars
on
something
we
won't
even
vote
on
until
next
month,
and
it's
already
under
approved
and
planned
like
some
of
this,
is
just
catching
me
off
guard,
so
numbers
would
help
had
unknown
that
it
was
a
9
million.
I
was
thinking
it
was
a
5
million
so
that
I
think
the
numbers
would
help
tell
the
story.
E
Yes-
and
it
does,
if
I
were
in
the
public
reading
this,
it
does
read
as
though
it
has
been
total
total
approved
and
planned
is
already
16
million,
and
I
think
that
language
might
you
know
this
is
a
lot
to
take
in
is
sitting
up
here
and
it's
a
lot
to
take
in
as
someone
that's
watching
at
home.
So
I'm
a
little
concerned
about
that
language,
but
I
think
the
numbers
and
the
projects
might
help
the
conversation.
F
E
To
clarify,
I
didn't
mean
for
that.
I
meant,
as
we
are
trying
to
describe
these
buckets.
So
if
we
know
that
I
mean
right
here,
we
see
it's
really
11
million
dollars
in
between
emergency
non-congregate,
homeless,
shelter
and
potential
emergency
shelter.
Hotel
purchase,
like
so
understanding
that
the
impact
of
public
health,
mental
health,
substance,
abuse
and
housing
is
already
10
million
dollars
a
range,
something
that
would
help.
I
just
otherwise
like
to
kim's
point
this
community
communication.
Is
it
500
thousand
dollars?
Is
it
four
million?
E
A
B
F
A
How
about
what,
if
we
did
this,
what
if
we
okay
look
we're
already
doing?
We
already
got
a
bunch
of
stuff
going
here
around
affordable
housing
in
the
funding
we
heard
about
already
with
a
lot
of
our
partner
groups.
We
already
heard
a
lot,
we're
already
doing
a
lot
around
homelessness,
but
I
am
hearing
you
know.
For
example,
I'm
hearing
sandra
talk
a
lot
about
small
business
recovery
and
workforce
development.
I
mean.
Could
we
could
we
say?
A
Okay,
we
we've
already
baked
in
a
bunch
of
stuff,
and
can
we
give
some
direction
to
staff
to
say
here's
where
we
think
we
need
to
go
next
with
this
funding
but
we'd
like
you
to
come
back
to
us
with
some
specific
projects
so
that
we
can
wrap
our
head
around?
What
is
community
communication?
What
is
small
business
recovery?
What
is
workforce
development,
so
those
are
the
ones
we
haven't
heard
yet
that
we're
directly
tackling.
Yet
with
this
funding,
could
we
do
that
and
then
sort
of
see
what
that
looks?
A
F
F
I
mean
what
what
I
could
be
supportive
of
that
maybe
make
some
sense
is
if
we
instead
of
saying
projects
if
we
said
okay,
so
we
know
we
have
10
million
dollars
left
over
there's
two
million
dollars
for
this
there's
five
million
dollars
for
this
and
remaining
one
and
a
half
for
this
and
and
500
000
for
this.
So.
D
F
Rather
than
rather
than
come
up
with
a
project
to
say:
okay,
here's
the
money
that
we
would
allocate
to
those
various
various
categories
and
then
and
then
we'd
ask
the
community
to
come
back
and
propose
projects
with
the
idea
that
you
know.
Okay,
you
don't
I
mean
when
we
don't
have
10
million
dollars,
for
you
know
your
your
particular
project.
We
have.
F
We
have
500
000
for
that
particular
category
and
that's
how
you
should
fit
it
in
to
me
that
may
make
some
sense
to
just
help
the
community
a
little
bit
to
respond,
but
I
don't
want
to
come
up
with
projects
because,
frankly,
we
don't
know
what
the
community
wants
to
do.
B
And
I
think
for
staff
to
do
that,
it
is.
Do
you
want
us
to
think
about
this,
as
you
want
lots
of
projects
and
categories,
or
you
want
a
few,
you
want
us
to
narrow
some
of
the
categories
and
that's
what
we've
been
just
trying
to
get
at
is
if
we
took
affordable
housing
and
homelessness
services
off
of
this
list.
B
L
B
J
I
think
that
when
I
looked
at
as
far
as
I'm
concerned,
when
I
thought
about
the
arp
fund,
I
actually
thought
this
was
monies
that
we
could
use
in
the
community
to
best
address
as
many
and
impact
as
many
people's
needs
as
possible.
J
So
I
thought
we
were
trying
to
you,
know
sort
of
put
it
at
the
greatest
need
of
the
community
to
make
an
impact,
and
I
think,
in
order
to
do
that,
like
you
said
you
can
reach
out
to
the
community
to
see
the
needs,
but
I
think
by
spending
we've
already
committed
to
spending
a
large
portion,
that'll
be
dedicated
toward
homelessness
mental
illness,
and
that
was
the
center.
So
we've
already
as
far
as
I'm
concerned,
we've
allocated
money
towards
that.
F
We
haven't
voted,
we
haven't
voted
on
yeah,
but
let
me
just
yes,
but
I
just
want
to.
J
Say
that
basically,
so
I'm
thinking
that
to
be
able
to
use
the
money
to
affect
the
most
amount
of
people
that
it
could
actually
help
in
the
community.
That's
what
I
look
at
the
money
as
being
that
they
can
make
an
impact
and
help
those
people.
So
I,
like
I
said
when
project
costs
a
lot
of
money,
but
really
doesn't
what
do
you
call
affect
a
large
percentage
of
people?
Then
I
have
a
problem
with
that,
because
I
want
us
to
get
as
much
as
we
can
for
our
money
in
the
community.
E
A
L
We
can
do
that.
Some
of
it
does
come
under
youth
programming,
which
I
think
part
of
the
thinking
was
that
it
was
better
covered
by
other
agencies,
but
it
is
that
that's
where
that
would
fit
in
this
group.
A
That's
a
brilliant
idea.
Okay,
so
we-
and
we
didn't
really
accomplish
anything
here
too,
except
we.
B
A
Really
good
discussion
about
what
we
need
to
continue
discussing,
so
I
I
we
appreciate
you
all
so
much
for
putting
this
together
for
us
and
trying
to
herd
cats.
It
is
a
it
is
a
challenge,
and
so
more
on
this.
I
think
we'll
probably
discuss
how
to
bring
this
back,
whether
we
maybe
in
the
form
of
another
work
session,
but
I
mean
I
do
think
in
leaving
this
discussion.
A
It's
important
to
know
that
we
already
have
a
bunch
of
initiatives
moving
forward
with
this
funding,
we're
talking
about
how
to
focus
the
remainder
of
this
funding
so
and
you'll
hear
some
more
on
our
agenda
tonight
about
expenditures
using
the
the
arpa
funds.
So
we're
going
to
take
we're
going
to
take
a
break
here
because
we're
coming
back
in
just
a
few
minutes
at
five
o'clock
ready
to
go
with
city
council.
Anyone.
A
Anything
else
before
we
leave
the
work
session.
Okay,
all
right
back
here
at
five
o'clock,
thanks.
