A
You
know
it's
easy
for
me,
I'm
across
Park
in
my
other
office,
so
I
just
run
over
here,
but
you
know
I
defer
to
others
to
figure
out
when
the
best
time
is
I
know
we
got
to
work
with
staff
schedule
and
I
mean
I.
You
know,
maybe
the
other
meetings
on
Council
Tuesdays
are
more,
have
more
flexibility
to
move,
because
those
are
still
remote
and
they're
easy
right.
I
mean
bulk
of
them
are
remote.
So.
A
For
people
to
join
in
wherever
they
are,
whereas
this
one
is
in
person
so
I
don't
know,
maybe
you
all
want
to
take
a
look
at
that
and
see
if
what
you,
what
you
think.
A
C
D
E
C
A
A
Yeah
I
know
maybe
Jamie
you
want
to
do.
You
want
to
ask
I
mean
I
feel
like
we
kind
of
went
through
preferences,
but
I,
don't
remember
what
all
the
different
variations
that
we
discussed.
I
can't
say
for
sure:
okay,
I'm
gonna
who's,
leading
the
charge
today
on
walking
us
through
this
agenda.
F
Okay,
thank
you
mayor
and
good
morning,
Council
and
staff
and
I'm
going
to
walk
us
through
start
the
The
Briefing
session
by
walking
us
through
the
March
14th
agenda.
If
you'll,
if
you
have
your
agenda,
pull
it
up
and
take
a
look
and
follow
along
and
as
always,
if
you
have
any
questions
at
any
point,
please
feel
free
to
stop
me.
F
F
F
It
provides
the
city
of
Asheville,
Parks
and
Recreation
Department
with
access
to
two
athletic
fields
and
Associated
facilities
at
the
Carolina
Day
School
athletic
property
off
Sweden
Creek
Road.
So
what
that
will
do
is
give
additional
opportunity
to
access
athletic
programming
in
South
Asheville
for
our
residents
there,
and
what
that
agreement
spills
out
is
that
the
Carolina
day
school
will
be
the
primary
user
of
those
athletic
facilities.
City,
Parks
and
Rec
will
be
a
secondary
user.
G
I
have
some
questions
about
this
one,
because
we're
talking
about
resource
mapping
and
the
many
different
ways
that
our
community
engages
in
public
facilities.
G
F
Yes,
yeah:
the
staff
report
will
have
that
will
be
out
later
this
week.
We'll
have
a
more
detailed
review.
Also
we'll
include
specific
information
about
the
agreement.
So,
yes,
I
think
we
can
be
more
clear
about
what
the
secondary
use
exactly
is
in
terms
of
the
types
of
facilities
and
when
and
things
of
that
nature.
F
This
renewal
and
amendment
of
a
contract
is
for
an
additional
three
years
at
a
total
of
309
000,
and
it
provides
the
Asheville
Police
Department,
with
access
to
in
the
use
of
the
ballistics
IQ
solution,
which
is
a
service
that
provides
for
the
automated
scanning
of
ballistic
evidence
in
the
first
year
of
use.
We've
had
this
software
for
a
year.
In
the
first
year,
APD
was
able
to
use
the
service
to
examine
630
cases
and
through
that
they
that
examination
or
the
service
resulted
in
137
investigative,
leads
the
environment
and
Safety.
F
F
B
F
F
So,
moving
on
to
consent,
item
e:
this
is
a
actually
a
resolution
supporting
the
grant
award
to
the
French
Broad
River
Metropolitan
planning
organization,
and
what
this
grant
does
it
allows
the
French
Broad
NPO
to
prepare
a
feasibility
study
for
a
future
section
of
the
Swannanoa
Greenway.
The
mpo
needs
this
resolution
of
support
from
the
local
government
agency,
which
is
the
city
of
Asheville
in
this
case.
H
F
Item
is
consent,
item
F,
which
is
related
to
our
opioid
settlement
agreements,
our
most
recent
round
to
those
that
I'm
actually
going
to
ask
Brad
Branham
our
City
attorney
to
review
that
item.
I
Thank
you
Ben,
as
I
mentioned
at
our
previous
review
agenda
work
session.
This
is
the
second
major
national
opioid
settlement.
Inclusion
in
this
is
voluntary.
North
Carolina
could
stand
to
receive
upwards
of
600
million
dollars,
primarily
flowing
to
local
Municipal
and
County
governments.
Asheville's
chunk
of
that
is
at
a
maximum
only
about
1.2
million.
However,
the
county
is
standing
to
receive
close
to
13
million.
This
would
be
in
addition
to
the
funds
that
were
previously
received
under
the
original
opioid
settlement.
The.
I
I
However,
last
time
there
was
100
participation
in
North
Carolina,
we're
hoping
we
can
receive
that
again,
which
maximizes
the
total
funds,
and
if
that
is
the
case,
City
basketball
would
stand
to
receive
an
additional
1.2
million,
which
would
begin
flowing
in
the
latter
part
of
this
year.
We
have
until
just
early
April
to
sign
on
to
this,
so
we're
asking
you
to
authorize
my
office
to
be
able
to
execute
the
necessary
paperwork
to
share
in
those
proceeds.
A
So
so
I
thought
we
got
a
little
over
a
million
in
the
first
round,
and
this
is
the
second
round.
I
That's
exactly
right:
you
got
a
little
over
1.5
million
and
this
is
a
slightly
smaller
second
round
with
a
totally
different
set
of
defendants.
So
it's
a
separate,
very
similar,
Federal
settlement.
The
numbers
are
a
little
lower
this
time,
but
very
close
to
what
you
saw
last
time
as
well
as
the
distribution
ratio.
I
Okay
and
those
those
settlements
are
structured
to
flow
over
several
years,
but
most
of
the
payments
are
going
to
be
front
loaded,
so
they've
already
been
following
for
the
first
settlement.
The
second
would
start
later
this
year,
the
majority
of
the
money
coming
in
earlier,
rather
than
in
the
later
year,.
I
According
to
the
settlement,
each
jurisdiction
that
receives
funds
have
to
go
through
two
requirements.
One
is
a
reporting
requirement.
The
second
one
is:
you
must
elect
how
you're
going
to
spend
the
money
you
can
elect
essentially
a
predefined
set
of
allowances
which
I
think
most
municipalities
and
Counties
have
done,
or
you
can
elect
a
broader
option.
But
if
you
do
the
broader
option,
there
is
more
back
and
forth
between
the
state
and
your
reporting
requirements.
I
So,
generally
speaking,
these
must
be
spent
in
a
fairly
broad
spectrum
of
things,
but
to
specifically
address
the
opioid
crisis
locally,
and
that
can
be
service
provision
that
can
be
Staffing
to
internal
Staffing.
To
address
the
issue,
a
very
wide
variety
of
options
available
to
you.
Those
things
will
come
to
you
later.
I
I
I
will
also
mention
that
there
is
an
option
to
allow
your
funds
to
essentially
bypass
the
city
and
be
joined
into
the
county
funds
that
removes
the
city's
obligation
to
report
or
manage
those
and
let
all
the
funds
essentially
be
directed
to
the
county
so
that
the
coordination
becomes
a
little
easier.
You're
not
required
to
do
that,
but
it
is
an
option.
J
As
opposed
to
programs
that
may
be
sort
of
go
into
preventive
or
whatever
is
for
it
and
that
that's
what
I
was
concerned
about,
because
I
figure
that
Asheville
is
one
of
the
areas,
that's
highly
impacted
and
I
truly
believe
that,
as
far
as
when
they
start
defining,
where
the
money
should
go,
then
I
think
that
may
take
some
precedence
and
I
was
wondering
if
they
sort
of
looked
into
that
to
ensure
that
money
is
going.
You
know
where
it
needs
to
go.
I.
I
Think
they're
in
the
mayor,
you
may
be
able
to
speak
to
this.
There
was
a
lot
of
coordination
last
time
between
the
city
and
the
county
about
how
to
utilize
these
funds.
The
settlement
provides,
as
I
said,
a
pretty
broad
allowance
to
be
able
to
address
this,
how
you
feel
most
appropriate
at
the
local
government
so
long
as
it
is
going
towards
the
opioid
addiction
and
response
process.
Well,.
A
So
it's
not
really
a
me
question,
but
before
we
go,
I
mean
I
would
like
staff
to
make
a
recommendation
about
whether
or
not
it
makes
more
sense
for
us
to
just
give
this
money
to
the
county
and
have
them
administer
the
whole
program,
given
that
ours
is
so
small,
but
if
we're
using
it
for
Staffing
opportunities
that
we've
already
invested
in
then
that
then
we
need
to
but
bottom
line
is
I
would
look
to
the
manager
to
tell
us
what
is
the
appropriate
way
to
administer.
This.
Thank.
C
You
mayor,
we
will
have
as
part
of
our
budget
work
session,
we're
going
to
have
some
additional
information
up
for
you
on
Tuesday
about
this
particular
source
of
Revenue,
but
also
arpa
I
mean
just
give
you
a
holistic
look
at
all
of
the
revenue
sources.
We
usually
always
look
at.
C
You
know
property,
tax
and
so
forth,
but
we
are
fortunate
this
year
to
have
some
other
options
and
and
sources
of
funding,
so
we're
going
to
give
you
all
a
more
holistic
picture
of
that
Revenue,
as
well
as
some
suggestions
about
how
we
might
want
to
move
forward
in
terms
of
utilization
of
the
of
those
resources.
H
E
Just
kind
of
being
new
to
some
of
these
conversations
as
the
fresh
eyes
person
just
wondering
if,
in
the
conversation
with
this
particular
allotment
of
potential
resources-
and
it
just
opens
a
question
of
how
do
we
have
the
conversations
of
finding
shared
goals
with
the
county?
If
we're
both
public
institutions
that
serve
a
lot
of
the
same
people?
Is
there
a
bigger
process
outside
of
each
individual
opportunity
where
we're
collaborating
I
know
we're
talking
with
them
a
lot
about
McCormick
Stadium
right
now
and
there's
some
shared
priority?
E
There
there's
going
to
be
other
ones,
and
so
I
wonder
how
we
can
pursue
conversation
outside
of
one
opportunity
at
a
time
so
that
we
can
leverage
taxpayer
dollars
as
best
as
possible.
Yeah.
C
911
is
a
classic
example
of
how
we
Consolidated
a
functional
area
of
of
government
and
looked
at
the
most
efficient
and
effective
way
to
administer
that
initiative.
Brands
will
likely
Transit
Transit
I.
A
A
So
we
want
to
keep
building
on
that
because
we
know
they're
a
lot
more,
there's
greater
success
where
there's
more
collaboration,
so
so
no
I
definitely
think
I
love
hearing
it.
G
I
have
a
process
idea
as
we're
getting
in
our
groove
with
these
pre
briefing
meetings,
and
it
just
came
to
me
today
as
as
I
was
clicking
through
all
these,
you
know,
consent
agenda
items.
It's
supposed
to
be
non-controversial.
We
expected
to
pass
the
council
level
and
each
one
of
them
comes
with
this
count.
G
G
B
H
B
H
A
G
G
I
I
may
just
weigh
in
quickly
and
say
one
of
the
challenges
there
is
that
oftentimes
the
contracts
aren't
finally
negotiated
and
brought
to
their
final
Edition
until
after
Council
has
approved
them,
for
the
very
reason
that
we
don't
want
to
dedicate
that
staff
time
and
and
let
the
contractor
spend
too
much
time
going
down
that
path
if
it's
not
going
to
receive
the
necessary
approval.
So
in
many
cases
we
don't
have
a
final
document.
I
It
would
only
at
most
be
perhaps
a
portion
of
that
or
a
working
document,
much
of
which
does
not
include
the
real
important
scope
of
work
or
the
terms
and
conditions
that
are
unique
to
that
particular
document.
So
oftentimes
we
go
and
get
the
council
approval
and
then
the
operational
terms
are
negotiated
by
staff
after
the
fact
that
it's
not
always
the
case,
but
many
of
these
would
not
be
ready
by
the
time
they
came
to
council.
J
Foreign
just
a
question:
the
only
thing,
I'm
sort
of
concerned,
with
that
the
conversation
you
just
had
because,
basically,
when
you
talk
about
a
lot
of
times
is,
are
you
saying
invite
the
community
and
to
the
negotiation
process
of
contracts,
because
I
think
if
we
start
doing
that,
then
you're
looking
at
I,
can't
tell
you
what
you're
looking
at
but
anyway,
I
just
know
that
if
I
had
someone
to
have
to
sort
of
adjust
my
contracts
to
what
people
you
know
that
were
impacted
with
it
to
some
degree
it
could
get
messy.
I
That
is
why
these
contracts,
generally,
we
try
to
give
as
much
information
as
we
can
about
what
the
intent
is,
who
the
party
is
as
well
as
what
the
dollar
figures
are,
but
it
terms
below
that
which
become
much
more
operational
in
nature.
Those
generally
are
referred
to
staff,
but
we
don't
want
staff
to
be
ahead
of
council
and
although
there
are
certainly
some
negotiations
going
on,
they
often
don't
get
finalized
until
we
are
certain
that
we
have
the
authorization
to
move
forward
from
Council
with
those
items.
A
You
know
we're
authorizing
for
the
continued
negotiation
and
finalization
of
the
contract.
If
it
is
available,
is
it
a
practice
to
provide
it
or
not?
I.
I
Think,
historically,
we
probably
have
not
provided
it
in
many
cases,
for
probably
partly
the
reason
that
I've
said
and
partly
because
we're
trying
to
be
fairly
succinct
with
how
much
information
we
give
you.
Some
of
these
contracts
could
be
hundreds
of
pages.
A
A
What
is
an
accepted
practice
within
the
council
manager,
form
of
government
and
not
and
frankly,
I
haven't
I
I
haven't
actually
heard
concerns
in
the
community
outside
of
the
topic,
I
mean
the
community
wants
to
see.
What's
on
the
consent
agenda,
there's
Sometimes
some
discussion
about
whether
or
not
we
should
enter
into
this
contract,
but
I
haven't
actually
heard
anyone
say
I
needed
to
review
that
hundred
page
contract,
or
you
know
what
I'm
I
haven't
heard
the
issues,
because
the
the
contract
themselves
are
pretty
I
mean
they're
kind
of
I
mean
very
transactional.
A
They're,
not
so
I
mean
I'm,
not
I,
I,
guess
I'm
struggling
with
with
needing
the
council
to
have
enough
information
to
vote
on
something
without
going
overboard
in
terms
of
what
what
needs
to
be
attached
to
the
agenda.
C
Role
and
when
we
can,
we
will
provide
you
with
the
general
last
framework
of
what
the
contract
will
generally
have
entail
in
terms
of
scope.
What
is
it
that
we
are
Contracting
for?
What
is
this
service
I?
Think
we
can
give
you
all
we'll
try
to
give
more
information
about
that
scope,
similar
I,
think
of
what
the
police
contracts
we
at
the
committee,
we
gave
a
little
bit
more
detail,
probably
possibly,
and
that's
on
the
request,
but.
I
Is
anybody's
we
are
close,
we
have
all
of
our
full-time
positions
currently
field.
We
have
been
considering
and
working
with
our
finance
office
to
add
an
administrative
person
because
we
are
low
on
administrative
staff
right
now,
but
as
I
sit
here
today
we
have
all
attorney
positions,
field.
E
Providing
these
briefs
and
there's
still
a
lot
of
questions,
and
so
that
idea
of
maybe
looking
to
have
as
more
staff
part
of
these
agenda
briefing
conversations
that
that
might
help
so
that
the
information
and
conversation
can
be
there
to
get
to
the
goal.
Sometimes
the
idea
of
the
the
solution.
Maybe
we
could
tweak
that.
G
G
A
A
F
We
have
one
public
hearing
item
I'm,
actually
not
going
to
cover
that
Nikki
Reed.
Our
community
economic
development
director
is
here
and
I-
think
she's
going
to
speak
about
that
under
the
other
issues
section
of
the
agenda
actually
Nick
you're
going
to
speak
a
lot
today,
so
moving
on
under
new
business.
F
We
have
also
have
one
item
under
new
business
related
to
McCormick
field,
again
I'm
going
to
defer
that
to
Chris
Coral
our
decref
Department
of
director
who's
going
to
speak
about
that
under
the
other
issues
section
as
well,
and
then
last
thing
on
the
council
agenda
is
we
have
our
normal
boards.
F
H
K
Guess
it's
about
boarding
commission
I'm,
just
wondering
if
any
committee
or
commission
is
going
to
be
discussing
what
came
up
at
our
Council
Retreat
around
the
very
interesting
idea
of
having
our
own
police
School
whatever
you
call
that
I'm,
just
not
sure
if
that
like
just
goes
into
The
Ether,
because
it
was
said
or
if
anybody
ever
looks
at
that
or
what
committee
would
pick
it
up
and
I'm
not
asking
us
to
pick
it
up.
I'm
just
saying:
is
there
a
process
and
could
that
committee
talk
to
it
or
consider
it?
Please.
C
J
A
With
the
police
benevolent
Association
members,
there
was
some
question
about
whether
the
same
Staffing
capacity
issues
that
are
plaguing
the
department
right
now
would
also
just
plague
an
internal
school,
because
you've
got
to
pull
staff
to
do
the
training.
However,
they
did
say
they
do
use
retired
officers,
and
so
there
may
be
ways
to
it.
C
A
C
K
F
Great
thank
you
for
that
and
moving
on
next
section
of
our
agenda
or
excuse
me.
Our
agenda
today
is
a
review
of
our
upcoming
Council
committee
meetings.
I
have
the
first
two,
so
I'm
going
to
go
ahead
and
just
jump
right
in
ped
or
planning
and
economic
Economic
Development
Committee.
You
will
receive
a
update
on
the
pack
Square
Plaza
visiting
process
and
that's
going
to
be
a
general
update
on
that
process.
The
planning
that's
going
on
around
the
pack
square
area,
including
a
review
of
the
community
engagement,
that's
been
done
to
this
point.
F
We
expect
a
draft
Vision
document
to
be
ready
in
April
of
2023,
so
ped
will
get
a
sneak.
Peek
of
the
work.
That's
been
done
to
this
point.
The
presentation
is
going
to
focus
on
some
of
the
key
themes
that
have
been
developed
for
the
planning
process,
as
well
as
some
of
the
implementation
strategies
that
we'd
like
to
make
Council
aware
of
another
piece
of
that
I
want
to
cover
is
we're.
Also.
F
The
staff
is
also
going
to
ask
the
PED
to
make
a
recommendation
to
the
full
Council
on
the
acceptance
of
a
melon
Foundation
Grant.
That's
up
to
a
three
million
dollar
grant
that
may
be
available
to
the
city
and
county
for
implementation
of
this
plan,
and
the
great
thing
about
that
Grant
is:
it
doesn't
require
a
match
in
the
city,
so.
E
L
Sure
and
to
your
point,
council
member
Allman,
we
were
actually
contacted
by
melon,
and
so
that
relationship
has
been
established.
We've
already
submitted
some
general
information
and
now
we're
just
going
through
the
process
of
getting
the
vision
plan,
finished
and
then
figuring
out
what
that
funding
could
be
used
for.
E
F
You
yeah
a
lot
of
credit
to
Rachel
and
the
planning
department
for
the
work
on
that
okay,
I'm
going
to
keep
moving
boards
and
commissions
committee
a
couple
things.
A
few
things
on
that
I
want
to
know
number
one
is
please
for
the
public
and
everybody
that
committee
has
an
earlier
start
time:
it'll
actually
be
at
9
00
a.m,
on
March
14th,
so
it's
a
little
earlier
than
they
normally
meet
in
terms
of
business.
For
that
meeting
they
have
eight
appointments.
You'll
see
those
on
your
regular
accounts
list
into
seven
of
those.
F
Eight
are
due
to
resignations,
but
the
really
the
business
item
for
boards
and
commissions
is
a
consideration
of
a
proposal
to
move
from
monthly
to
a
quarterly
Advisory
Board
appointments.
The
boards
and
commission
committee
is
discuss
this
at
the
February
meeting.
Staff
is
asking
that
they
take
action
at
their
March
meeting.
One
thing
just
to
make
a
note
of
is
the
the
action
to
change
to
switch
from
a
monthly
to
a
quarterly
appointment
process
that
does
not
come
to
full
Council.
That
is
an
action
that
the
boards
and
commission
committee
can
take.
H
K
Even
if
our
votes
aren't
heard,
I
would
like
to
support
that
initiative
to
those
of
you
on
the
board.
D
E
E
And
boards
and
commissions
do
we
know
when,
like
we'll,
have
a
conversation
about
that
again,
I'm
just
kind
of
curious
and
maybe
there's
a
slide
deck
somewhere
from
recent
and
I'd
love
to
read
it,
but
just
kind
of
I
I,
don't
feel
up
to
speed
and
that's
part
of
my
new
onboarding.
So
I'd
love
some
of
those
sometime.
B
Yeah,
so
where
we
are
with
the
realignment
proposal,
I
guess:
there's
a
newly
formed
realignment
working
group,
so
community
members
they're
meeting
regularly
and
the
survey
was
a
big
piece
of
that
they
created
it
and
it's
been
distributed.
We
had
really
great
submissions,
but
right
now,
they're
in
the
process
of
analyzing,
with
the
hopes
of
making
recommendations
to
council
so
they're
in
that
process.
C
Okay,
thank
you.
Dan.
We
meet
on
March
14th
at
10
o'clock
and
it's
a
relatively
light
agenda,
but
some
fairly
significant
issues.
We
will
be
discussing
the
selection
of
the
new
external
audit
firm,
not
asking
for
any
type
of
action,
but
just
providing
an
overview
and
preview
and
the
action
will
take
place,
hopefully
on
March,
the
28th
and
the
next
one
would
be
an
overview
of
fees
and
charges
recommendations
and
we
previewed
a
little
bit
of
that
as
part
of
the
council
Retreat
and
as
part
of
your
earlier
work
sessions
around
the
budget.
F
No
other
questions
on
Council
committees.
I
will
move
on
to
review
of
the
eight-week
agenda
items,
there's
a
link
in
your
agenda
to
that
document,
and
you
can
see
it
on
the
screens,
and
this
is
really
just
the
way
that
the
clerk's
office
tracks,
the
items
that
are
that
are
coming
to
the
council
in
the
future.
I
would
I'll.
F
G
G
Know
that
one
of
the
things
I
hear
a
lot
is
that
folks
feel
like
they
provide
public
input,
but
that
we
don't
listen
and
listening
doesn't
look
like
action
or
it
might
help
if
there's
a
way
to
reflect
so
that
the
community
can
see
like
that.
I
that
my
concern
is
seen
here.
I,
don't
like
the
answer
that
I'm
getting,
but
it's
reflected.
G
C
Anything
before
before
you
move
on
to
the
next
items,
I
would
like
to
just
highlight
the
adoption
of
the
municipal
climate
action
plan
that
will
be
scheduled
for
March.
The
28th
I've
already
mentioned
the
audit
contract
for
action
and
then,
lastly,
the
we
need
a
resolution.
Our
action
on
the
home
art
allocation
plan
as
well,
because
January
Jamie
I'm,
sorry,
oh,
she
will
talk
about
the
home
office.
Nikki
will
talk
about
the
home
our
process,
because
I
think
we're
only
having
public
comment.
G
I
guess
my
question
is:
did
we
Circle
back
to
the
folks
who
gave
engagement
to
once
again
be
like?
Is
this
reflecting
what
we've
said?
Climate
Justice
looks
like.
C
H
G
G
C
G
A
A
Know
this
well
I
worry
about
you
directing
staff
to
do
something,
that's
going
to
add
a
big
thing
to
their
plate
without
having
counsel
agree
on
you
know,
I
mean
we
really
need
to
understand
because
I
mean
you
are
excellent
in
making
really
good
suggestions
about
how
to
better
do
community
outreach
and
response,
but
I,
but
what
I
feel
like
I'm
concerned
we're
doing
is
we're
piling
on
and
we're
not
realizing
the
effect
of
it
and
I
need
to
know
this
body
needs
to
know.
What
can
you
do?
How
how
do
you
prioritize
it?
We.
A
Here
so
we
need
to
be
able
to
say
we
heard
you,
you
want
these.
A
G
C
And
I
don't
know
necessarily
that
we
individualize
kind
of
the
response.
What
I'm
I'm,
almost
certain
that
we
have
done
is
the
document
has
been
updated
and
it's
out
for
your
for
you
to
review.
Gonna,
have
public
comment
at
the
whatever
date
of
the
meeting
and
come,
and
let
us
know
your
how
you
feel
I
mean
that's
traditionally
how
we've
done.
C
A
A
Agenda
that
we
need
to
talk
okay,
so
Ben
under
the
other
issues
and
updates
I
know
you
said
you
might
need
to
go
just
to
skip
ahead
here
on
the
McCormick
field.
Issue.
Sandra
is
not
going
to
be
able
to
be
at
our
council
meeting
Tuesday
night.
She
has
a
conference
I
related
to
her
service
in
this
role,
and
so
there's
some
question
about
whether
we
can
move
that
vote
I
mean
it
is
like
right
up
to
the
wire
to
March
28th
really.
A
K
C
M
Hi
Chris
Coral,
director
of
the
community
and
Regional
Entertainment
facilities
Department.
The
question
was
County
vote
dates
right.
They
will
be
voting
on
the
21st.
They
decided
at
their
work
session
on
Tuesday
to
vote
on
the
21st.
So
if
we
do
push,
we
would
be
voting
after
them.
M
H
J
C
C
M
So
we
spoke
with
Oakhurst
and
East
End
in
the
last
two
weeks
generally.
What
I
think
we
heard
was
that
both
neighborhoods
are
on
board
with
the
project
as
presented
as
a
multi-use
facility
with
additional
events
such
as
concerts
and
other
passive
events,
craft
fairs,
Etc
I,
think
we
heard
a
number
of
like
10
to
12
additional
days
a
year
with
loud
events
being
concerts
on
top
of
baseball
games.
M
We
definitely
heard
a
desire
for
no
additional
fireworks,
so
the
team
has
agreed
without
adjusting
their
lease
payment
request
or
number
to
remove
the
requests
for
additional
Fireworks
shows
and
amend
their
requests
for
back-to-back
firework
shots
to
only
on
July
4th
weekend,
when
July
4th
falls
on
a
Saturday
which,
in
the
next
20
some
years
only
Falls
three
times
so
it
would
be
2026,
20,
30,
4
and
27
three
times
in
the
next
20
years.
That
we
would
shoot
back
to
back
is
the
amount
of
requests
in.
H
A
As
worked
in
this
process,
the
neighborhood
feedback
remains,
as
you've
said.
What
does
that
do?
Looking
at
it
as
a
multi-use
facility,
and
you
know,
we
saw
some
fantastic
images
of
possible
ways
to
use
this
facility
other
than
for
baseball.
It
was
exciting
things
like
an
ice
skating
rink
in
the
winter.
H
A
Was
a
skate
park
competition?
You
know
all
kinds
of
different,
interesting
ways
to
use
a
base
stadium
that
I
did
not
know
about,
but
what
does
that
do
to
the
revenue
number
for
the
city
in
terms
of
the
impact
it
would
have
on
our
potential
Debt
Service.
M
It
really
depends
on
what
types
of
events
are
put
on,
who
hosts
the
event
and
the
structure
of
each
individual.
Ideally,
we
would
be
the
entity
programming.
The
concerts,
the
team
would
be
helping
facilitate
other
things
like
craft
fairs,
winter
lights.
So,
in
those
cases
where
it's
the
team,
all
the
revenue
would
go
to
the
team
in
the
cases
where
it's
the
concert,
the
revenue
off
of
the
ticket
sponsorships
Etc
would
come
to
the
city.
M
Food
and
beverage
would
be
split
by
the
team
since
they
are
managing
the
food
and
beverage
operation,
since
it's
there
site,
but
rough
numbers,
maybe
half
a
million
dollars
net
a
year,
assuming
we
can
do
10
to
12
concerts
plus
some
other
events
in
there.
That
doesn't
factor
in
if
we
decide
to
produce
free
events
like
farmers,
markets
or
Community
programming
with
Parks
and
Rec,
because
those
would
cost
money
without
Revenue
to
offset
it
so
a
whole
lot
up
in
the
air
depending
on
what
the
events
are.
A
M
M
A
So,
and
for
the
team
to
be
able
to
have
a
share
of
some
of
those
events,
do
we?
Where
are
we
at
with
the
team's
contribution
annually
to
Debt
Service.
M
The
team's
contribution
right
now
on
average
over
the
20
years,
is
468
750.,
so
that
stair
steps
from
450
a
year
up
to
475,
plus
some
bonuses
based
on
attendance
figures.
Additionally
they're
committing
75
000
per
year
every
year
that
rolls
over
for
Capital.
So
if
you
lump
it
all
together,
it's
about
10.8
million
dollars
that
they're
committing
over
the
term
of
the
20
years
and.
M
K
1.2
million
and
I
feel
really
confident
in
your
particular
skill
set
to
manage
this
facility
and
to
be
able
to
earn
some
Revenue,
because
you
do
so
well
in
our
other.
K
Amazing
great
work,
but
so
it
makes
me
come
to
the
number
of
really
we're
trying
to
make
up
700
000.
a
year,
so
I
would
really
love
to
see
the
city.
Where
do
you.
B
M
I
I
think
they've
heard
us
make
those
requests
numerous
times.
I
would
feel
good
about
that
I
think
if
they
vote
before
us
they're
going
to
vote
on
the
250th
number
per
year.
If
they
vote
after
us.
Maybe
that's
different,
but
I
I,
don't
know.
I,
don't
see
that
number
changing
I
would
be
really
surprised
if
it
did
on
the
county
side.
We're
working
through
a
process
with
major
league
baseball
and
the
team
right
now
on.
M
I
can't
call
it
a
ticket
tax,
because
this
board
doesn't
have
the
authority
to
create
a
tax
on
tickets,
but
we
have
the
ability
to
create
an
ordinance
which
sets
a
fee
on
per
ticket
purchases
at
the
stadium.
So
if
we
did
something
like
50
cents
per
ticket
on
individual
tickets
and
some
type
of
other
facility
ordinance
fee
on
packages
season
tickets
Etc,
that
number
could
be
anywhere
from
as
low
as
65
a
year
to
110
000
a
year
that
could
go
towards
this.
H
A
G
M
The
ticket
fee
portion,
yeah
I,
mean
we
can
totally
make
that
happen.
I
think
that
we
should
make
that
happen,
probably
contingent
on
no
State
money,
I
think
if
State
money
comes
into
the
project,
it
makes
sense
not
to
do
that
fee
because
you
have
to
remember
Minor
League,
Baseball,
10
ticket
is
like
its
thing
right
and
so
anything
that
we're
adding
on
to
increase
that
fees
is
not
a
good
thing
and
for
the
team
you
know
we
have
a
three
dollar
that
fee
at
the
Harris.
M
Center
is
three
dollars,
but
we're
only
selling
that
concert
to
that
person
once
a
year
where
they're
trying
to
sell
that
same
ticket
five
six
eight
times
a
season
to
the
same
family,
so
that
little
fee
adds
up
over
and
over
again.
So
you
want
to
keep
that
at
like
forty
dollars
for
a
family
to
go,
see
a
game.
So
if
State
funding
comes
in
which
could
be
significant,
you
know
we're
hearing
anywhere
from
two
to
five
million
I
guess
zero
to
five
million
I
should
say
that
that
fee
we
should
probably
not
put
on.
H
M
G
You
have
a
great
track
record
at
indoor
facilities,
but
there
is
no
way
for
us
to
get
a
temperature
gauge
on
what
happens
the
next
20
years
with
rain
events,
except
for
that
we
know
we're
going
to
have
them
and
they're
going
to
be
extreme
second
thing:
is
we
set
some
goals
around
Equity
with
our
ARCA
funding
and
we
keep
finding
different
ways
to
spend
it
that
are
not
with
our
Equity
score,
so
I'm
hoping
we
can
talk
about
this
in
the
budget
work
session
and
with
Kim
Marmon
Saks,
because
what
I'm
seeing
in
this
is
that
we
might
spend
arpa
funding
on
this
is
what
was
in
the
paperwork
that
I
read
this
morning
and
I.
C
A
C
M
G
G
Because
it's
a
new
thing,
then
we
gotta
maybe
look
at
what
the
future
holds,
because
if
we
can
make
this
facility
really
engage
our
community
more
than
just
baseball,
which
would
be
amazing
because
baseball's
already
a
win.
But
if
we
can
make
his
win
even
better.
I
think
that
we
should
expect
to
phase
up
the
number
of
non-baseball
users
over
time.
Yeah.
M
Full
disclosure,
we
haven't
even
started
the
phasing
up
been
higher
priority
things
to
deal
with
on
this
project,
but
that
is
still
a
conversation
we
plan
to
have
to
get
backwards
to
the
Rain
event
conversation.
M
So
I
haven't
done
outdoor
events
here,
but
prior
to
my
life
here,
I've
done
eight
or
nine
internationally
televised
outdoor
tennis
events
and
a
few
music
festivals
have
been
in
that
space
and
there's
insurance.
For
that.
Luckily,
that's
the
big
key
is
having
the
insurance
to
the
Rain
events
and
or
backup.
K
M
E
Philosophically
I
really
really
value
that
you're
putting
in
this
in
this
because
to
some
extent
part
of
why
we're
having
this?
What
feels
like
a
emergency
conversation
for
a
lot
of
public
dollars
is
because
we
haven't
had
continual
real,
necessary
investment
in
our
assets,
right
and
so
I
know
it
feels
hard
to
look
forward
and
I
think
the
legal
when,
of
course,
we
need
to
follow
the
legal
rules
of
what
we
can
and
can't
commit
in
the
future.
H
D
E
H
E
A
A
M
A
A
C
And
I
think
that
we
are
looking
at
the
use
of
that
facility
very
differently
going
forward
for
it
to
be
more
of
a
community,
broader
Community,
Asset
multi-purpose,
and
not
just
for
for
for
baseball.
What?
If,
if
I
could
I
do
want
to
go
back
to
the
community
input?
I
don't
want.
You
all
are
the
community
to
feel
that
we
are
understating
the
concerns
that
were
expressed
at
those
two
meetings
that
we
had
with
East
End,
as
well
as
with
all
curse.
C
They
are
really
concerned
about
parking
really
concerned
and
they're
concerned
about
noise
and
I.
Think
we
were
able
to
assure
them
that,
especially
for
McCormick,
that
the
tourists
will
continue
to
manage
the
the
parking
situation.
There
were
a
lot
of
concerns
with
the
East
End
about.
C
It
is
a
work
in
progress
that
we're
going
to
have
to
work
on
traffic
management
and
and
all
of
those
things
and
I
believe
that
they
felt
comfortable
with
our
responses
that
we
were
going
to
try,
but
that
it
was
going
to
to
take
some
time
the
first
year.
We
may
not
get
it
perfect,
but
second
year,
we'll
hear
back
from
them
in
terms
of
how
it
worked.
What
we
did
here,
though,
is
the
Oakhurst
community
literally
commended
the
tourists
for
the
new
parking
Management
in
Oakhurst.
M
Yeah
I
heard
clearly
from
the
neighborhood.
They
would
prefer
the
tourists
around
the
parking
operation
and
not
the
city.
That's
right!
Well,
you
know
that's
what
I
said
right
and
they
did
as
the
tourists
expand
into
Carroll,
Street
and
Easton
or.
M
And
their
general
manager,
Larry
Hawkins,
said
that
that
should
be
a
very
doable
thing
that
we
can
start
this
year
and
work
through
based
on
certain
game
sizes
and
we're
in
talks
with
the
team
about
how
they
can
manage
the
parking
from
Memorial
Stadium,
because
they're
so
close
together
and
tied
together
and
it
seemed
like
they
were
only
almost
more
parking
concerns
with
the
Memorial
Stadium
events
than
there
were
with
baseball
stadium
events.
C
And
our
ability
to
coordinate
activities
and
events,
and
the
other
thing
that
we
promised
is
communication
that
when
there
are
events
that
we
will
communicate
early
and
often
so
that
they
can
personally
manage
Arrangements
and
just
so
that
they
are
aware
of
what's
happening
and
and
again
they
were
very
pleased
that
we
were
headed
in
that
direction.
C
Fun
stuff
in
downtown
and
I
appreciate
the
neighborhoods
being
able
to
convene
the
their
their
leadership
and
asked
us.
You
know
tough,
but
I,
think
reasonable
questions
and
what
they
were
asking
of
the
city
to
me
was
not
that
unreasonable
and
I
truly
believe
that
we
can
respond
and
and
Brad
was
there,
the
first
meeting
to
help
us
get
through
some
legal
issues,
because
we
had
an
actual
email
that
they
sent
us.
That
said,
we
want
these
things
responded
to
and
we
were
I
think
we
were
able
to
respond.
A
Okay,
yeah,
so
I
think
we
we
need
to
figure
out
whether
we
can
do
this
Tuesday
or,
if
we're
going
to
need
to
move
it.
C
A
C
C
A
All
right,
looking
at
this
list
of
very
important
things
here,
we
just
did
the
update
of
McCormick
field.
What
what
do
you
guys
want
to
try
to
do?
Next?
I
was
thinking
either
homeless,
initiative
advisory
committee
update.
O
I
have
two
so
and
I'll
try
to
be
quick,
but
I
want
to
be
thorough
and
also
get
some
any
questions
that
you
may
have
to
be
prepared
for
Tuesday
so
start
with
Hallmark
home
art
funding
allocation
bit
of
background
so
home
our
poem,
that
is
the
Asheville
Regional
Housing
Consortium,
okay.
So
that's
a
group
of
four
counties:
that's
Buncombe,
Henderson,
Transylvania
and
Madison,
along
with
other
local
municipalities
in
those
counties
that
band
together
to
receive
an
annual
allocation
of
federal
home
funds
and
the
city
is
the
administrator
okay.
O
So
a
little
bit
of
background,
we
have
received
one-time
funding
in
the
amount
of
about
4.7
million
dollars
known
as
home
ARP.
So
it's
a
an
allocation
of
the
American
Rescue
plan
coming
through
the
home
Consortium
known
as
home
ARP
funds.
This
allocation
was
really
targeted
to
assist
individuals
or
households
who
are
homeless
at
risk
of
homeless
and
other
vulnerable
populations.
O
So
HUD
has
a
very
specific
framework
that
we
must
follow
in
the
allocation
of
these
funds.
The
first
thing
that
we
must
do
is
develop
a
funding
allocation
plan
that
is
based
off
of
a
very
specific
set
of
eligible
uses.
So
this
is
not
about
designating
certain
projects
that
we
want
to
fund,
but
really
designating
these
buckets
for
lack
of
better
word.
Those
eligible
activities
include
the
construction
or
preservation
of
affordable
housing,
tenant-based
rental
assistance,
the
Supportive
Services.
O
O
We
actually
have
the
plan
out
for
public
comment
right
now
until
the
20th,
and
then
we
plan
on
coming
back
to
Council
on
the
28th
for
the
final
approval,
we'll
bring
all
those
public
comments
to
you
and
have
those
final
results
in
a
final
plan
for
approval.
So
just
the
public
hearing
piece
for
next
Tuesday.
We
did
want
to
share
that.
Those
funding
allocations
right
now
are
proposed
as
follows.
So
of
the
roughly
4.7,
so
just
under
4.7
we're
looking
at
a
million
dollars
in
the
supportive
Services.
O
That's
really
recognizing
that
mental
health
and
substance
use
disorder
was
really
heard
throughout
our
public
process
and
the
second
investment
is
at
the
development
of
affordable
rental
housing,
really
stemming
from
the
fact
that
we
have
rental
assistance,
like
vouchers
in
our
community,
but
it's
really
hard
to
find
those
units
and
that
amount
for
development
of
affordable
housing,
3.1
the
remainder
of
those
funds,
so
just
a
little
bit
less
than
600
000
would
be
for
staff
Administration,
and
so
what
you're
not
seeing
on
that
list
is
non-congregate
shelter,
I,
don't
know,
that's
something
that
we've
talked
about
a
lot
in
the
past
couple
of
years
and
even
some
of
the
results
of
the
alliance
really
talked
about
about
shelter
needs.
O
However,
this
is
these
Regional
funds.
The
second
piece
here
is
4.7.
It's
really
not
enough
to
get
us
to
where
we
need
in
terms
of
the
construction
costs
associated
with
a
type
of
shelter.
That's
non-congregate
as
well
as
this
funding
does
not
cover
ongoing
operational
costs,
that's
another
big
expense
associated
with
shelters,
and
so
that
was
really
why
we
have
vetted
these
allocations
through
the
home
Consortium
and
looking
at
this
type
of
investment
strategy.
O
J
I'm
going
to
ask
you
a
question:
I
can
appreciate
you
know,
like
you
said
you
have
such
a
limited
amount
of
funds
and
to
be
able
to
really
affect
the
home.
You
know.
Housing
for
people
is
very
important
because
you
know
so
the
3.1
you're
allocating
toward
the
rental
assistance
or
whatever,
but
I
was
just
wondering.
I
know
they
just
had
a
meeting,
basically
with
some
of
the
providers
for
the
shelters
or
whatever.
They
were
basically
saying
that
there
are
plenty
of
beds
and
places
for
people,
but
they're
not
being
utilized.
J
I
was
just
wondering:
where
are
you
on
that
process
and
how
can
we.
K
K
Well,
that
would
be
for
non-congregate
shelter
for
yeah.
No,
what
we're
doing
here
is
saying
there
are
these
four
buckets
that
the
money
can
be
used
for
then
we
went
out.
So
this
is
four
counties,
so
it's
we
have
to
always
remember.
I
chair
this
commission
and
I
always
have
to
remember
to
take
off
my
Asheville
lens.
This
is
a
regional
initiative.
Okay,
so
then
we
went
out
into
the
community
in
all
of
the
counties
and
cities
that
are
participating.
K
There's
15
of
us
on
this
board
and
did
extensive
research
into
what
is
needed
in
all
the
communities,
and
it
came
back
actually
was
a
little
surprising
that
non-congregate
Sheltering
wasn't
the
highest
demand,
mostly
probably
because
we
have
so
many
coming
online
that
are
already
funded
underway.
So
this
Consortium
annually
does
the
home
and
cdbg
money
and
these
things
that
we're
talking
about
these
Services
Supportive,
Services
and
housing
are
really
in
line
with
what
we
allocate
through
these
other
funds.
K
Every
year
anyways
it
comes
to
UV
an
action
plan,
we
adopt
it
every
year,
and
so
we
basically
got
an
effusion
from
the
rescue
plan,
so
it
looks
like
it's
turning
into
based
on
the
same,
you
know
more
data
that
is
going
to
be
more
of
the
same.
The
biggest
need
is
in
this
rental
unit
production,
whether
it's
at
30
Ami,
voucher,
accepting
60
et
cetera.
Most
often
this
this
group
Awards
money
to
tax
credit
projects
and
that's
the
typical.
K
K
I'm
meeting
later
today
and
tomorrow
with
some
folks
that
would
have
been
in
the
non-congregate
applicant
pool
to
sess
out,
like
does
this-
you
know
was
this
something
they
plan
on
applying
to.
Where
are
their
plans,
particularly
like
helpmate,
who
we
know
is
queuing
up,
but
we
already
gave
funding
to
you.
It's
that
kind
of
thing
so
and
I'm
happy
to
follow
up
with
you,
but
no
no
I
greatly
appreciate.
L
Thank
you
yeah
and
council
member
Turner
just
to
build
on
what
you
were
just
saying
and
Nikki
can
definitely
expand
on
this
further
than
I
can,
but
just
an
important
note
that
the
dollars
could
not
be
spent
on
ongoing
operations
for
a
non-congregate
shelter,
and
so
we
would
not
have
a
funding
source
identified.
If,
if
this
funding
was
to
be
dedicated
towards
a
non-congregate
shelter
for
actually
running
the
shelter
once
it's
built.
O
Yes,
well
and
I
can
go
ahead
and
mention
I
was
almost
wanting
to
mention
this
earlier,
but
one
of
the
things
that
we
want
to
specify
when
we
actually
go
to
RFP.
So
just
a
little
more
about
the
process.
We
submit
this
plan.
Speaking
of
timelines
to
March
31st.
Is
our
deadline
to
submit
to
HUD,
so
we're
kind
of
teeing
up
right
to
do
that
on
time
and
then
once
HUD
accepts
it.
O
Our
next
step
would
be
to
do
an
RFP
for
proposals
that
would
fit
Within
These
categories
of
service
and
one
of
the
requirements
that
we
will
impose
upon
applicants
is
that
they
go
to
their
cocs.
So
we
have
the
Asheville
Buncombe
coc
for
both
Asheville
and
Buncombe
County,
there's
another
coc
for
the
remaining
counties,
but
they
would.
O
Continuum
of
Care
thank
you.
They
would
have
to
get
a
letter
of
support
from
their
Continuum
of
Care
these
applications
so
that
we
align
those
two
things,
because
we
certainly
want
to
ensure
that
these
dollars
do
benefit
the
populations
that
they're
intended
to
serve,
and
that
is
our
mechanism
to
hold
that
accountability.
This.
O
Okay,
well,
then,
let
me
go
on
to
the
just
next
general
update,
and
so
this-
and
this
is
regarding
the
second
item-
the
Supportive
Service
funding
request,
and
so
we
wanted
to
share
that.
The
city
of
Asheville,
along
with
the
cities
of
Greensboro
and
Raleigh,
have
been
invited
to
participate
in
a
conversation
with
staff
from
Governor
Cooper's
office
to
share
more
about
the
public-private
partnership
model
that
was
used
to
create
permanent
Supportive
Housing
at
the
former
Ramada,
with
with
step
up
and
Shangri-La,
and
so
as
I
understand
it.
O
The
state
of
California
has
supported
these
projects
with
Supportive
Services
from
the
state,
so
we're
hopeful
that
these
conversations
could
result
in
Asheville
being
kind
of
a
pilot
Community
for
Supportive
Services
dollars
for
these
public-private
Partnerships.
So
that's
really
all
we
have
right
now.
Rachel
and
I
are
working
on
this
together
with
Emily's
support,
of
course,
and
preliminary
conversations,
but
we
are
hopeful
that
we'll
see
you
happens
and
we're
going
to
provide
more
details
as
things
become
available.
So
that's
it
for
me
all
right
thanks
so
much.
N
Hello,
Emily
ball,
I'm,
a
homeless
strategy,
division
manager
in
the
community
and
Economic
Development
Department
I'm.
Here,
to
give
you
an
update
about
the
homeless
initiative
advisory
committee
and
how
they
have
been
working
to
implement
the
recommendations
or
follow
up
on
the
recommendations
from
the
National
Alliance
to
end
homelessness.
N
They
there's
a
lot
of
energy
and
momentum
right
now
and
they're
doing
a
lot
of
work.
It's
an
it's
an
exciting
time,
so
they
have
taken
two
specific
actions
at
their
February
meeting
and
then
established
a
few
work
groups
that
I'll
tell
you
about.
N
First,
at
the
February
meeting
they
adopted
the
alliance
recommendation.
Sorry,
they
adopted
the
goal
recommended
by
the
alliance
to
decrease
unsheltered
homelessness
by
50
percent
in
the
next
two
years.
The
two-year
time
frame
is
a
little
confusing
around
that
so
they're.
Looking
at
the
the
alliance
recommendation
is
looking
at
the
2022
point
in
time.
Count:
data
recognizing
we
don't
yet
have
2023
point
in
time,
count
data,
but
wanting
to
start
the
two-year
clock
right
now.
This
is
actually
2025
point
in
time.
Count
all
that.
Maybe
that's
right!
Awesome!
Strong
recap!
That's
right!.
N
Yeah,
so
they
did,
they
did
adopt
that
goal
for
their
work.
They
also
formally
adopted
the
Community
Values
that
were
identified
by
the
alliance
in
their
project
and
those
were
values
that
they
heard
from
community
members
through
their
needs
assessment
and
that
stakeholder
engagement,
a
key
value.
There
is
to
be
bold
and
they
have
talked
about
that
repeatedly.
David
Nash
is
the
chair
of
Hayek
and
has
really
been
encouraging.
All
of
Hayek's
work
to
to
stay
laser
focused
and
to
really
move
quickly
and
be
bold,
recognizing
the
urgency
of
the
situation.
N
The
other
thing
that
they
did
is
at
their
February
meeting,
is
established.
Four
work
groups
in
direct
response
to
the
alliance,
recommendations
and
I'll
talk
through
those
four,
but
all
four
of
them
are
chaired
by
Hayek
members
and
have
additional
hag
members
as
work
group
participants.
All
four
work
groups
have
people
with
lived
experience
have
homeless,
service
providers
include
representation
from
the
Homeless
Coalition,
so
there
are
three
co-chairs
of
the
Homeless
Coalition
and
all
three
of
those
folks
are
participating
in
all
four
I'm.
N
Sorry
they've
divided
up
but
they're,
covering
all
four
work
groups,
also
representation
from
the
Coalition
of
Asheville
neighborhoods
on
every
work
group
and
then
County
staff
and
City
staff
are
participating
in
work
groups.
All
of
them
are
meeting
virtually
right
now
and
are
reporting
back
to
Hayak
every
month,
so
that
just
happened
this
morning.
N
So
those
forward
groups
are
governance.
You
know
the
the
foundation
of
the
alliance
recommendations
was
to
retool
how
we
work
together
as
a
community
and
to
shift
the
governance
function
of
the
Continuum
of
Care
board
from
Hayak
in
the
boards
and
commission
structure
out
into
a
community
board
and
for
that
board
to
evolve
in
its
composition
and
really
clarify
its
charge
and
Charter
and
through
that
process,
to
establish
a
Continuum
of
Care
membership
body,
which
is
a
collection
of
stakeholders
who
are
saying
we
we're
on
we're
on
the
team,
we're
we're
on
board.
N
We
are
aligned
with
the
vision
and
the
focus
of
the
Continuum
of
Care
board.
We
want
to
all
be
working
together.
The
governance
work
group
is
looking
at
governance,
Charters
recommended
by
the
alliance
in
three
other
communities.
Those
are
Spokane,
San,
Diego
and
Houston
and
evaluating
those.
They
certainly
may
end
up
looking
at
other
examples
as
well,
and
then
they
will
draft
a
proposal
to
bring
back
to
Hayak
for
consideration
about
what
that
new
structure
might
look
like.
N
They
are
hoping
to
do
that
in
June.
At
the
junior
high
meeting,
Jen
Teague
at
the
county
is
the
chair
of
that
work
group
and
they
are
meeting
twice
a
month
right
now.
They
don't
have
a
standing
schedule
established,
but
wanting
to
meet
at
least
twice
a
month.
N
Second
work
group
is
the
shelter
work
group
and
they
are
focused
on
the
the
recommendation
from
the
alliance
to
expand
to
your
question
earlier
to
expand
our
shelter
capacity
by
95
beds.
Part
of
the
discussion
in
that
work
group
has
been
differentiating
between
to
Immaculate.
Abccm
has
been
identifying
this
as
program
beds
versus
shelter
beds.
We
have
a
lot
of
program
beds
that
are
available
in
our
community
where
participants
agree
to
participate
in.
N
You
know
particular
requirements
and
programming,
which
is
different
from
a
shelter
where
you
can
just
walk
up,
because
you
need
a
bed
that
night.
That
may
not
expect
you
to
comply
with
all
of
these
requirements.
So
a
lot
of
discussion
around
that
right
now,
I
expect
that
we'll
hear
more
in
the
more
Community
conversation
about
that
shelter,
work
group
is
chaired
by
David.
Nash
is
meeting
weekly,
has
a
really
good
representation,
and
right
now,
they're
focused
on
learning
about
how
shelters
are
operating
in
our
community.
A
Since
we
know
this,
one
is
going
to
come
as
a
recommendation
I'm
serving
on
it
and
Jasmine
is
serving
on
it
from
the
county
and
then
for
our
meeting
Monday,
which
was
at
a
restoration
Village
women
in
children's
shelter
or
program
brownie
joined
us
too
I've
been
into
that's
an
Emily.
Of
course.
It's
not.
G
Can
you
clarify
something
I
heard
this
morning
the
way
that
I
heard
it
was
that
outside
of
the
could
purple
slash
winter
shelter
beds,
we
don't
actually
have
non-programmed
shelter,
beds.
O
A
You're
not
in
program,
yet
you
can
walk
up,
you
need
shelter
and
if
you
are
a
female
victim
of
domestic
violence,
but
otherwise,
if
it
is
not
code
purple
and
you
don't
fall
into
one
of
those
categories,
there
is
not
a
media
shelter
available
for
you.
You
would
have
had
to
already
enroll
to
be
in
abccm.
G
So
as
I
know,
there's
folks
that
are
watching
this,
and
so
the
we
are
referring
to
the
meeting
this
morning.
Being
the
homeless
initiative
advisory
committee,
which
is
available
on
the
city's
YouTube
channel
and
I,
know
a
deeper
conversation
is
being
had,
but
that
would
lead
one
to
think
that
outside
of
code
purple,
which
is
called
only
during
inclement
weather,
that
we
don't
actually
have
non-program
shelter
beds.
N
And
I
think
I
think
I
expect
that
the
shelter
work
group
will
really
continue.
That
conversation
we'll
learn
more
about
that,
as
those
tours
continue
so
we'll
be
reaching
out
to
additional
shelter
transitional
housing
locations
to
ask
for
those
same
site
visits
that
we
did
at
abccm.
N
So
we
may.
We
may
refine
that
further.
A
Village,
which
is
women
and
children,
is
181
and
it
is
updated
every
week
and
I
asked
them
if
it
was.
You
know
folks
here,
and
these
are
people
who
might
not
necessarily
be
you
know,
literally
on
the
street
that
might
be
couch
surfing.
They
have
some
very
unstable
situation
and
they
said
that
their
list
is
primarily
Asheville,
Buncombe
County.
N
Two
other
work
groups
briefly
so
ayak
has
also
established
a
coordinated
entry
work
group
that
will
be
looking
at
how
people
access
services
in
our
community.
That's
particularly
focused
on
how
people
get
into
Housing
Programs
the
idea
of
coordinated
entry
is
that
we're
pooling
all
of
our
folks
who
need
housing
and
we're
pooling
all
of
our
housing
resources,
and
we
are
making
a
clear
and
strategic
match
that
gets
the
right
resource
to
the
person
at
the
right
time.
N
We
have
a
lot
of
work
to
do
on
that
front
in
our
community,
so
that
that
will
be
a
really
important
work
group
that
is
chaired
by
Marcus
laws
at
Homeward,
Bound
and
is
meeting
weekly
and
then
last
work
group
is
Outreach
and
encampment
response.
That
work
group
has
two
kind
of
distinct
charges
based
on
the
recommendations
from
the
alliance.
So
one
is
to
really
build
out
our
community's
Outreach
capacity
and
to
deepen
the
work
that
is
happening.
Better,
coordinate,
Outreach
efforts
across
the
community.
N
There's
a
lot
of
Outreach
work
happening
right
now,
but
we
may
have
multiple
people
contacting
the
same
person
or
we
may
have
someone
who
no
one
is
contacting
so
just
trying
to
get
better
coordinated
around
that.
Making
sure
that
Outreach
work
is
really
housing
focused
that
our
our
clear
charge
is
to
ensure
that
people
have
options
to
not
be
homeless
and
that
we're
really
proactive
in
connecting
with
folks
on
that.
So
Outreach
is
a
piece
of
it.
N
The
other
pieces,
encampment
response
and,
as
you
heard
in
the
recommendations
from
the
alliance,
the
specific
Focus
there
is
to
develop
an
encampment
response
strategy
and
policy
that
that
can
be
clear
and
transparent
that
our
community
can
that
all
of
us
can
understand.
You
know
how
decisions
are
made
at
what
point
those
decisions
are
made,
Who's
involved
in
the
response,
and
what
is
that
response
so
that
work
group
has
a
very
heavy
lift
and
they
are
excited
to
get
underway.
N
So
again,
a
lot
of
energy
in
this
hike
is
really
doing
a
lot
of
hard
work
right
now,
I
think
it's
an
exciting
time.
E
I
know
that
folks,
listening
could
hear
this
and
hear
groups
and
meetings
and
I
just
like
I,
don't
know
how
to
articulate
more
clearly
that
this
is
how
you
make
change
you.
Don't
the
city
can't
sit
there
with
a
magic
wand
and
say
you
shall
do
this
and
you
wouldn't
want
us
to
that:
wouldn't
be
the
Democracy.
We
all
love
right.
E
So
we
need
to
figure
out
ways
to
collaborate
and
row
in
the
same
direction
and
get
on
the
same
page,
and
you
do
that
by
spending
time
together
and
thinking
hard
together
and
the
amount
of
work
that
I
hear
that
you
just
shared
between
when
we
all
met
as
a
city
county
meeting
in
January
and
now
was
actually
Herculean.
That
is
a
tremendous
amount
of
alignment.
Getting
things
going,
people
making
commitments,
you
don't
build
coalitions
by
snapping,
your
fingers,
you
don't
roll
in
the
same
direction
by
telling
people
what
to
do.
E
N
I
appreciate
that
and
I
think
that's
exactly
right
and
I
I'm.
Sorry
I,
don't
remember
if
I
said
this,
but
they
will
be
reporting
back
to
the
to
Hayek
at
their
monthly
meeting.
Of
course,
those
are
public.
Those
are
live,
streamed
and
so
really
good
way
for
our
community
to
stay
updated
on
the
work.
That's
happening
and
a
good
way
for
those
work
groups
to
kind
of
cross
cross
work
with
each
other.
You
know
understand
where
the
Outreach
work
groups,
efforts,
connect
to
the
shelter
work
group's
efforts,
for
example.
N
K
C
L
Very
quick,
so
I
want
to
start
with
the
resounding
thank
you.
We've
gotten
really
positive
feedback
from
the
Department
directors
and
then
I
know
the
city.
Manager's
Office
Team
feels
really
encouraged
from
the
very
positive
Retreat
that
we
had
last
week.
You
know
that
was
a
significant
dedication
of
time
on
the
heels
of
a
recent
shelter
visit,
as
well
as
the
legislative
breakfast
Council
meetings,
everything
else
we
have
going
on
so
really
appreciate
you
all
dedicating
the
time
that
you
did
just
want
to
make
sure
you
all
are
aware.
L
We
got
the
minutes
earlier
this
week
from
Nicholas
Beeman
stats,
working
on
unpacking,
those
and
figuring
out
how
we're
going
to
package
information
and
bring
back
to
you
we're
going
to
come
back
via
these
agenda
briefings.
Council
manager,
I
mean
city
manager,
reports,
as
well
as
through
the
budget
process,
and
how
we're
going
to
look
at
operationalizing
your
priorities,
so
the
biggest
takeaway
we
want
you
to
have
today
is
that
we
commit
that
the
feedback
that
we
got
at
The
Retreat
is
not
going
to
stay
in
The
Ether.
L
So
again,
just
want
to
say
thank
you
we'll
be
kind
of
talking
more
detailed,
probably
at
the
next
agenda,
briefing
in
March
on
what
you
can
expect
and
have
a
little
bit
more
of
a
process
identified,
but
right
now
we're
just
kind
of
working
through
what
that
could
look
like
we're
going
to
talk
to
management
team
on
Monday
to
get
some
additional
feedback.
So
thank
you
again.
K
I
realize
you
know
we
always
have
afterthoughts
I
realized.
There
was
something
we
did
last
year
that
we
didn't
do
this
year
and
I
just
wanted
to
note
it
because
I
appreciated
it
so
much
last
year,
I
think
before
last
year's
Retreat,
you
went
to
department
heads
and
said:
how
are
you
feeling
and
there
was
17
apartment
heads
and
they
came
back
overwhelmed
overworked
exhausted.
K
No
but
I
do
wonder
you
know
if
you
do
that
again
sometime
in
the
future,
I'd
love
to.
C
E
E
We
I
feel
like
the
breakout
groups,
are
really
nice.
We
got
to
get
into
some
level
of
discussion,
but
it
does
seem
like
we
came
pretty
long
lists
and
a
step
that
might
be
helpful
too,
is
to
focus
that,
like
a
lot
of
times,
we
would
end
with
DOT
voting
or
prioritization,
or
things
like
that.
Like
I,
even
know
some
of
the
things
I
said
it's
like
I.
E
L
And
that's
why
I
mentioned
we're
going
to
meet
with
management
team.
This
coming
Monday
we're
going
to
go
through
the
entire
list
and
talk
about.
Where
is
there
already
direct
alignment?
Where
is
their
work
happening?
Where
would
there
need
to
be
additional
resources
identified
to
complete
some
of
those
things
and
that's
the
package
that
we're
looking
at
bringing
back
to
you
so
that
we
can
have
that
value
conversation
around
what's
doable
with
current
resources?
What
could
we
foreseeably
do
next
year
and
what
we
might
need
to
look
at
a
longer
Horizon.
K
And
it
helps
that
idea
helps
with
something
that
I
encountered
since
the
retreat
I
heard
from
some
folks
that
thought
some
of
the
suggestions
made
around
our
brainstorming
were
actually
things.
We
were
adopting
I
heard
from
a
few
people
that
were
concerned
about
Luigi
going
away
and
I
just
want
to
be
clear,
like
the
things
that
happened
in
the
tree.
We're
brainstorming
right,
like
we
didn't,
take
any
policy
action
just
to
be
clear,
I,
don't
know
if
the
media
reported
I'm
yet
to
find
where
this
was
printed,
but
just
a
little
heads
up.
