Description
NOTE: Video picture freezes at 22:15 but audio remains good throughout.
A
A
Cases
dealing
with
a
medical
issue
with
a
family
number,
so
he
will
hopefully
arrive
but
has
told
us
to
get
started,
so
we
will
do
that
have
done
that
yeah.
So
this
is
a
written
report
and
we
typically
don't
go
over
it
in
detail.
It's
just
updates
on
the
many
many
things
that
the
department
is
doing.
Do
we
I?
Don't
have
any
questions
about
it
this
month,.
A
B
So,
just
one
quick
announcement
that
we
added
a
new
member
to
our
community
development
team,
so
Emily
fall
if
she
doesn't
find
standing
up.
She
is
you
know,
HMIS
coordinators.
We
work
with
Brian
has
to
be
on
the
homeless
issue.
Issues
were
really
excited
to
have
her
as
part
of
our
team.
Very,
very
much.
That's.
A
Great
welcome
Emily
and
lean
is
Europe
you're
an
old-timer
on
these
issues
here,
and
we
are
very,
very,
very:
have
you
yeah,
you
guys
are
unstoppable
powerhouse
I
know
anything
else
all
right,
then
we
will
dive
into
the
meat
of
the
meeting.
We
just
have
one
agenda
item
and
I'm
gonna
turn
it
over
to
Kathy,
but
I'll.
Just
my
guess
is
this
is
why
so
many
of
you
are
here
today
and
again
very
happy
for
that
Kathy
we'll
go
over
this
a
little
bit
more.
A
Many
of
you
have
been
in
it
again
with
us
for
a
couple
of
years.
I
think
we're
to
the
point
where
we
really
do
want
to
try
to
move
forward
with
some
recommendations
to
Council
so
just
to
set
the
stage
today
we
will
be
taking
a
vote
on
this
and
moving
it
forward
to
council,
so
we
will
be
having
public
comment
on
it.
We'll
have
Kathy
will
do
a
presentation,
we'll
have
a
little
bit
of
conversation
and
then
I'll
open
it
up
for
public
comment
and
and
then
we
will
go
from
there.
So.
D
Chair
mayfield
and
members
based
TV
committee,
again,
I'm
cathy
ball
assistant
city
manager
for
the
city
of
Asheville
and
Thank
You
chair
may
feel
for
kind
of
providing
a
preface
to
the
presentation,
and
it
won't
be
much
of
a
presentation
except
to
talk
about.
The
fact
that
we
have
been
looking
is
to
repeat
what
you
said.
We
have
been
looking
at
trying
to
adapt
the
requirements
for
the
strategic
partnership
funds
so
that
they're
clear
for
folks
to
be
able
to
apply
for
that
they're
more
equitable.
D
As
you're
aware,
this
is
a
process
that
we
do
every
year.
The
pot
of
money
is
about
two
hundred
and
forty
thousand
dollars,
as
it
will
be
this
year.
So
we
are.
We
are
at
a
little
bit
of
a
crunch
to
be
able
to
get
the
guidelines
out
to
those
folks
looking
to
apply
for
these
funds
with
the
requirements.
So
our
goal
is
after
the
new
City
Council.
For
us
to
be
able
to
put
this
out.
I
would
also
say
that,
typically
on
any
given
year,
the
the
CDBG
funds
are
done.
A
D
Yeah
so
I'll
start
with
the
first
one.
The
first
one
is
limiting
the
number
of
years
that
organizations
can
receive
these
grants
and
limiting
it
to
five
years.
Staff
recommends
that
the
first
year
of
this
requirement
be
the
year
that
we're
in
to
give
folks
time
to
be
able
to
adjust
and
find
other
sources
of
funding.
So
that
would
be
the
first
recommendation.
This
is
and
again
this
goes
back
to
the
equity
inclusion.
It's
intended
to
help
folks
start
up
and
then
be
able
to
help
them
become
reliant
on
other
sources
of
funding.
A
A
D
Would
be
eligible,
so
you,
the
one
would
become
FY
21,
okay,
because
that's
when
we
would
start
the
clock
in
order
to
give
people
time
to
adjust
because
they're
new
they
may
be
counting
on
his
funds
for
this
year
and
they
may
have
received
them
in
the
past
five
years.
We
feel
like
we
want
to
transition
to
help
our
partners
as
we
can,
but
also
to
do
to
be
able
to
help
other
organizations
as
well.
D
The
next
year
would
be
your
one,
so
you
would
have
to
look
out
five
years
before
you
would
be
in
that
way
we're
starting
now
right.
So
after
five
years,
you
would
not
be
eligible
for
these
funds
anymore
and
again.
The
purpose
is
just
to
help
folks
give
to
people
plant
plenty
of
planting
time
to
be
able
to
transition.
D
Limit
on
the
the
organization's
total
budget,
one
of
the
things
we
saw
when
we
look
through
the
equity
lens
is
that
we
are
trying
to
help
folks
who
have
a
limited
budget
to
have
a
smaller
budget.
So
we're
recommending
that
if
your
overall
budget
is
more
than
a
million
dollars,
you
would
not
be
eligible
to
receive
this
fund
starting
this
year.
E
D
D
Third,
one
is
that
that
the
amount
of
the
grants
would
be
given
out
in
increments.
So
as
opposed
to
what
we've
seen
in
the
past.
Sometimes
we
will
have
grants
four
thousand
three
hundred
thirty
three
dollars
that
we're
administering
and
we
probably
are
spending
as
much
staff
time
administering
those
and
we're
not
saying
they're,
not
valuable.
To
folks.
That's
not
that
what
we're
saying
we're
just
saying
that
when
people
apply,
they
would
apply
for
one
of
these
increments
of
funding
and
the
wards
would
be
made
based
upon
that.
D
The
fourth
one
is-
and
this
is
something
that
you
won't
discuss-
last
a
June
or
July
in
your
meeting.
One
of
the
biggest
needs
that
we
see
in
the
community
is
closing
the
achievement,
the
opportunity
gap,
and
so
we
would
recommend
that
all
of
the
applicants
demonstrate
how
they're
able
to
close
the
achievement
gap
within
their
application
and.
D
E
D
There
are
various
ways
to
close
the
opportunity
gaps:
I,
don't
know
that
it's
totally
related
to
the
school,
but
in
the
event
that
we're
working
with
that
our
partners
are
working
with
the
school.
We
are
asking
them
to
get
feedback
from
the
schools
on
how
they
how
they
are
partnering
and
whether
or
not
they
knew.
If
you
remember
previously,
we
had
some
we'd
ask
the
school
if
they
knew
of
some
of
the
organizations
and
some
in
some
cases
they
said
they
weren't
aware
of
what
they
were
doing.
D
The
last
two
is
that
staff
would
not
move
forward,
applications
that
are
not
complete
and
in
saying
that
I
should
have
put
that
up
there.
We
have
are
committed
also
to
providing
the
committee
with
the
full
initial
application
so
that,
as
it
moves
forward,
we
may
work
with
the
applicant
to
try
to
make
it
fit
or
be
able
to
demonstrate
some
more
measures
that
we
can
account
for
on
outcomes.
D
But
we
are
going
to
provide
the
committee
with
the
initial
application
so
that
you
can
see
that
as
well
and
that
that's
been
a
request
of
council
members
and
that
staff
will
make
recommendations
on
funding
so
in
the
past,
staff
would
evaluate
them
and
give
kind
of
pros
and
cons.
Now
we're
staff
will
make
recommendations
on
the
funding,
so
I
don't
know
if
you
all
would
prefer
to
put
on
these
individually
that
we
did
movement
forward.
I
know
you
want
to
take
public
comment
before
you
do
that,
and
we
will
be
prepared
to
respond.
E
D
I'm
I
understand
what
you're
saying
I'm
wondering
if
we
say
these
are
guidelines
and
that
the
committee
could
evaluate
them
and
be
able
to
determine
whether
or
not
an
organization
was
moving
closer
to
achieving
that,
so
that
at
least
there's
a
time
frame
that
our
partners
are
shooting
for.
If
they
continue
to
demonstrate
this
they're
able
to
close
that
achievement
gap
and
they're
working
toward
I
think
the
committee
could
recommend.
E
A
A
A
So
we're
going
through
each
of
these
suggestions
and
recommendations
from
the
staff
and
just
having
a
quick
conversation
about
each
of
these.
The
the
one
bullet
that
Shaniqua
just
suggested
that
we
amend
and
I
agree
is,
on
the
first
one,
the
five-year
threshold.
So
just
so,
that
would
start
so.
Everybody
seems,
like
sort
of
everybody
starts.
A
Slate
for
this
fiscal
year
and
it
would
go
those
years
we
could
count
forward
going
from
now.
Shaniqua
suggestion
was
that
we
there
sort
of
be
a
default
of
five
years
as
the
max,
but
then
we
we
can.
We
can
continue
to
award
funding
if,
if
we
feel
like
that's
appropriate,
so
it's
not
a
hard.
So
at
five
years.
A
G
A
Paul,
maybe
if,
when
we
get
to
the
counts,
when
this
moves
on
to
Council,
we
can,
if
you
can
have
that
information
about
what
organizations
I'm
sure
we
will
hear
from
some
of
them
today
and
I
invite
you
to
let
us
know
if
you
would
fall
at
that
threshold
if
you
would
exceed
that
threshold.
Just
so,
we
know.
A
A
A
A
A
H
Just
a
question:
the
1
million
dollar
budget
number
I
know
that
you
put
this.
This
plan
has
been
developing
for
some
time,
so
I
don't
know
for
how
many
years
into
the
future
you
found
I'm
having
this
plan
and
I
wanted
to
know.
If
you're
going
to
have
some
way
of
being
able
to
increase
that
as
the
years
go
by.
Is
that
going
to
be
1
million
dollars
this
year
and
for
the
next
five
years
or
well?
You
have
some
way
being
able
to
bump
that
up
as
this
plant
grows,
we.
A
Just
is
to
help
small
nonprofits
and
when
you
get
to
a
million
bucks
you're,
not
a
small
nonprofit
anymore
necessarily,
so
you
can
always
change
I'm.
Not
contemplating
at
this
point
that
we
would.
You
know,
increase
that
every
year
with
inflation
or
anything
like
that,
maybe
after
a
few
years
we
would.
We
would
look
at
that
again,
but.
A
I
Hi
there
I'm
Nicole
hi
Bo
with
bountiful
cities.
I
just
wanted
to
note
that
it's
what
I
wanted
to
say
is
that
I
I
think
it's
really
admirable
and
important
that
these
dollars,
while
limited
that
we
have
every
year
in
strategic
partnership
funds,
are
directed
toward
closing
the
achievement
gap.
The
opportunity
gap
I
just
want
to
note
that
it's
my
belief,
I
haven't
seen
this
written
anywhere
yet.
I
That
also
enacted
those
policies
and
I
think
that
those
two
things
are
directly
related
and
so
I
just
want
to
caution
that,
yes,
while
we
put
200
something
thousand
dollars
a
year
into
the
organizations
that
are
desperately
working
on
closing
the
achievement
gap,
I
want
to
caution
us
that
those
organizations
alone
will
absolutely
not
be
able
to
close
that
gap
over
time.
They
can
do
what
they
can
do.
They
can.
I
They
can
maybe
reduce
the
gap,
but
ultimately
there
are
root
causes
that
those
organizations
addressing
after
school
and
mentorship
and
academic
support
are
not
necessarily
going
to
be
able
to
solve
on
their
own.
So
that's
that's
all
I
wanted
to
say
is
to
remember
to
think
about
this
and
I
know
y'all
arms
peach
preaching
to
the
choir,
but
I
just
wanted.
It
noted,
let's
think
about
this
in
a
larger
context.
What
can
be?
Thank
you.
A
Just
to
remind
folks,
we
had
that
conversation
last
year
and
sort
of
made
that
recommendation
last
year
in
the
light
of
at
that
time,
new
partnership
between
the
city
and
the
Asheville
see
schools
and
that
closing
achievement
gap
and
I
I'm
not
involved
in
that.
So
I,
don't
know
where
that
partnership
is,
but.
J
Good
morning,
Mariah
Feeney
with
Mountain
berserks
I,
just
had
one
question
and
one
piece
that
I
wanted
to
make
sure
got
on
the
record.
So
I
wanted
to
get
clarity.
If
an
organization
was
acting
as
a
fiscal
sponsor
for
a
smaller
nonprofit
organism
and
C
3
status,
would
they
be
ineligible
to
apply
with
as
a
fiscal
sponsor
if
their
budget
was
over
a
million.
J
And
and
so
I
guess
what
I'm
trying
to
build
clarity
for
as
as
if
this
or
this
funding
is
specifically
towards
smaller,
nonprofits
or
nonprofits
that
are
working
towards
closing
the
opportunity
gap
or
the
achievement
gap,
often
larger
nonprofits
or
nonprofits
over
a
million
dollars
in
budget
which
we
are
and
we've
received.
This
funding
before
are
working
on
and
collaborative
projects
with
other
nonprofits
on
things
that
could
bubble
up
to
become
a
new
501c3
or
sometimes
they
end
up
not.
J
J
A
F
Good
morning
drew
crawford
speaking
as
a
resident,
I'm
a
tool
that
I've
seen
used
in
other
instances,
specifically
darts
in
science
council
that
may
or
may
not
fit
with
fiscal
year.
Budgeting
is
in
that
second
third,
fourth
or
fifth
year
to
grant
actually
giving
a
multi-year
grant
kind
of
a
aging
out
grant
so
that
small
organizations
again
I
work
with
small
for-profit
businesses
and
that
multi-year
budgeting
is
just
really
a
challenge
that
they
face,
and
so,
if
possible,
that
would
be
a
great
tool
that
might
be
added
at
this
time.
Thank
you.
A
K
A
L
G
I
think
when
you're
setting
up
the
funds
that
you,
if
you
only
have
an
annual
allocation,
sometimes
when
we
do
multi
construction
contracts
or
something
you
counsel
may
have
approved
the
budget
that
will
cover
up
all
this
years.
So
it's
exactly.
As
you
said,
you
are
binding
other
councils.
This
is
a
source
of
funds
that
it
sounds
like
every
year.
Is
that
to
go
through
the
process
and
decide
what
you're
going
to
allocate
towards
it?
So.
L
C
G
A
Maybe
we
can
look
at
that
and
have
an
answer
to
that
when
it
goes
to
council
about
the
degree
to
which
HCD
and
council
could
recommend
multi-year
grants
and
I,
don't
know
that
we
would
want
to
recommend
a
five-year
grant,
but
you
know
even
a
two-year
grant
makes
can
make
a
big
difference.
Okay,
anybody
else.
A
I
think
what
I
meant
to
do,
if
I
didn't
do
it
was,
as
council
I
mean,
ask
either
Paul
or
Kathy
or
Janice
to
be
able
to
report
back
to
us
on
our
authority
to
do
that.
I
wouldn't
so.
The
process
here,
Keith
we're
gonna
vote
on
these
today
and
then
they'll
go
to
council
would
be
on
our
to
the
particular
a
level.
A
C
E
A
D
D
Working
on
an
agreement
with
actual
city
schools,
but
with
the
change
in
superintendent
I,
don't
think
that
that's
been
fully
executed
at
this
point.
So
I
think
that
at
this
point,
we're
pretty
open
to
being
able
to
look
at
from
our
perspective,
unless
directed
different
by
Council,
we're
looking
at
closing
the
opportunity
gap
for
individuals
and
if
it
is
a
program
with
the
National
City
Schools.
We
want
folks
to
be
able
to
demonstrate
whoever
they're
working
with
that
there's
metrics
and
there's
a
need
I'm
preaching
to.
M
So
basically
I'm
a
data-driven
person
and
based
on
the
data
that
we
got
from
the
Youth
Justice
Project
and
the
dpi
that
achievement
gap
is
gotten
wider
than
ever.
You've
got
a
pipeline.
I
just
got
those
on
the
phone
with
them
in
Durham,
you've
got
a
pipeline
of
charter
school
applications
for
this
city,
that's
coming
literally
and
vicereine,
the
actual
city,
schools
and
public
education.
M
Also
I,
don't
know
I,
guess
what
is
happening:
a
community
pretty
much
everybody's
kind
of
a
discouraged
because
of
the
lack
of
results
and
everything
that
we
got,
whether
it's
economic
development.
What,
if
not
business
about
whatever
it
is,
we
got
the
worst
data
sets.
We've
just
got
one
back
for
housing
from
our
software
engineers
this
week,
that'll
be
at
the
housing,
fair
I,
think
on
sanity,
a
portion,
but
it
has
grown
steadily
worse
and
worse.
M
Like
Nicole
said
the
urban
renewal
movement
decimated
our
capital,
it's
the
main
problem,
but
the
thing
about
it
is:
is
there
gonna
be
a
rubric?
So
these
decisions
are
not.
You
know
we're
all
human
we're
all
subject
to
just
you
know
who
we
know
and
I
know
how
businesses
we
do
business
with
people
we
know.
Is
there
a
rubric
that
these
applications
will
be
judged
by
and
will
that
rubric
be
published
before
and
along
with
the
specifications
for
the
proposals?
Also
I
wanted
to
ask
another
question
with
that.
M
Is
this
any
way
involved
with
Buncombe
County
for
teaching
partnership
funding,
or
is
it
a
separate
process?
Okay,
and
what
about
the
rubric?
Is
there
one
there's
been
so
little
performance,
metrics
of
just
about
every
NGO
that
the
city
deals,
especially
when
it
comes
to
folks
dealing
and
in
my
community
when
you
got
sick
people,
you
want
the
best
doctors,
you
can
find
you
don't
deal
with
quakes
and
you
don't
deal
with
people
that
are
not
held
to
high
standards
and
we're
reaping
the
wind
for
it
right
now.
M
So
I
guess
that's
why
I'm
just
a
little
turn
when
I
here
change
I
know
that
there
has
to
be
disruption.
No
change
that
brings
positive
results,
especially
for
poor
people
is
not
a
non-disruptive
event.
Let
me
just
assure
you
that
we
have
the
worst
data
sets
of
any
African
American
community
in
North
Carolina.
There
is
a
reason
for
that
and
if
it's
man-made,
it
can
be
disassembled
by
men
and
women
who
know
what
they're
doing
so.
M
I
would
say
to
you
that
if
you
don't
have
rubrics,
they
go
out
with
the
specifications
of
the
proposal
summary
where
everybody
can
see
them
and
that
everybody's
ticking
off
or
trying
to
get
like
Buncombe
County
just
thought
to
do
by
the
way
you're
going
to
have
a
process.
That's
highly
political,
and
you
know
everybody
knows
who
they
know,
and
you
know
political
system
and
cronyism
comes
into
it.
So
I
just
see
where
our
community
is
just
being
slowly
destroyed,
and
you
know:
I
looked
at
my
tax
bill,
the
other
day,
I'm
paying
I.
M
N
Good
morning,
I'm
Celeste
Collins,
with
on
track
financial,
education
and
counseling.
Our
budget
is
1.2
million,
so
we
would
not
be
eligible
for
strategic
partnership
funding.
Under
these
new
guidelines,
we
have
strategic
partnership
funding
for
our
vide
aside
our
free
income
tax
preparation
site
last
year
we
helped
926
people,
and
that
resulted
in
over
a
million
dollars
in
tax
refunds,
and
we
didn't
charge
anything.
We
cobbled
together
funding
to
be
able
to
staff
and
pay
the
rent.
Have
the
computers
available
to
provide
these
services
and
our
average
household
income
is
under
$25,000.
N
That
said,
is
there
a
place
where
strategic
partnership
projects,
such
as
our
vital
site,
can
go
for
support
from
the
city
to
continue
to
provide
these
types
of
services?
I
heard
CDBG
mentioned,
and
we
do
apply
for
CDBG
for
a
different
set
of
programs.
The
the
things
that
help
people
improve
their
credit
that
help
people
learn
how
to
buy
homes
that
really
target
helping
people
build
home
equity
to
work
towards
addressing
some
of
the
racial
wealth
gap.
So
that
would
be
my
questions
is:
where
do
we
go
because
it's
a
very
important
project
and
they're?
C
F
K
If
you
decide
to
do
a
multi-year
grant,
allocate
the
funds
already
existing
and
set
it
aside,
it
would
just
not
be.
It
would
just
come
off
of
what
you
allocate
that
year,
as
opposed
to
future
councils
being
mountable
down
to
something.
So,
for
instance,
if
we
make
a
three-year
grant
for
$60,000
at
a
max
of
$20,000
a
year.
We
just
take
that
60,000
out
of
what
is
the
process
for
that
budget
year
and
then
it
just
follows.
The
applicator
does.
E
A
K
A
Right
so
just
to
go
through
these
one
more
time,
so
the
first
one
limiting
the
number
of
years
that
organizations
can
receive
SPM,
for
instance,
five
years,
our
recommendation
and
is
that
that
is
a
guideline
that
sort
of
a
default
but
could
be
funding
could
be
longer
than
that.
If,
if
the
committee
and
council
recommended
second
one
limit
on
organizational
budget
to
a
million
dollars,
third,
the
grants
are
going
to
be
given
out
in
these
chunks
and
I.
Think
Cathy.
A
So
just
correct
me
if
I'm
wrong,
I
think
what
we're
saying
there
is
organizations
apply
for
one
of
these
amounts,
and
then
we
basically
are
taking
away
our
discretion
to
say.
Well,
you
know
we're
running
out
of
money
so
instead
of
10
that
they've
asked
for
10,
but
we're
going
to
give
them
seven
hundred
seventy-five
hundred
like
we're
we're
taking
that
away
from
ourselves.
We're
you
get.
You
get
one
of
these
chunks
and
it
may
be
that
someone
applies
for
15,
but
we
give
them
10,
but
but
we're
doing.
A
A
A
And
then
staff
will
make
recommendations
on
funding
which
doesn't
happen
now.
Organizations
receiving
in
$10,000,
grant
or
more
must
attend
capacity-building,
training
provided
by
the
city
for
others,
and
then
I
guess
it's.
We
don't
want
to
put
on
here
as
a
as
a
requirement
but
you're
also
going
to
explore
the
multi-use
grant
multi-year.
K
K
I
think
miss
Williams
brought
up
a
good
point.
The
metric
that
was
that
would
hold
organizations
accountable.
What
does
success
look
like,
so
we
want
to
close
the
opportunity
gap.
We
want
to
get
this
this
money
towards
good
efforts,
but
what
are
we
using
to
determine
what
success
looks
like
and
the
success
actually
equals
success.
K
I
know
that
kind
of
sounds
really
weird,
but
like
what
we
made
being
successful,
it
may
not
necessarily
be
successful
to
closing
an
opportunity
gap,
so
we
need
to
figure
that
out
before
we
just
kind
of
dedicate
this
whole
process
I'm
with
it,
but
we
need
to
figure
out
what
success
looks
like
and
does
it
align
with
the
school
system
and
does
it
actually
equal
success
or
is
it
just
us
trying
to
say
like
okay,
we
make
the
part
of
this
on.
We
might
actually
need
to
get
here.
K
A
Let's
I
mean
maybe
we
just
that's
worth
a
little
bit
of
conversation
between
and
among
us
I
mean
it
seems
like
so
Nicole's
point.
No,
no
one
or
even
the
collection
of
these
organizations
can
close
the
opportunity
gap
so
in
each
each
organization
is
going
to
have
their
own
their
own
little
piece
of
it.
Sometimes
it's
after-school
homework.
A
K
C
A
A
In
that
process
there
was
a
recommendation
as
I
recall,
or
there
was
there
was
information
in
what
came
to
us
about
whether
these
groups
worked
with
the
Asheville
City
school
system
with
that.
So
that
was
just
that
there
was
wasn't
a
judgment
from
the
schools
from
the
others,
a
school
system
about
whether
that
work
was
effective
or
not.
It
was
just.
C
E
A
E
Is
not
just
limited
to
childhood
education?
There
different
practitioners
from
humans,
newly
employed
racial
equity.
They
have
abstained
again
in
the
higher
education
realm
as
well.
So
maybe
we
can
bring
some
information
about
the
collective
resume
of
that
group.
So
we
we
don't
know.
That's
was
that
source.
M
D
A
D
A
C
K
It
kind
of
touches
on
this
way,
but
it
doesn't.
Mr.
teaching
partnership
funds
are
separate
from
other
organizations
that
are
being
funded
through
our
regular
budget
process
that
doesn't
have
to
go
through
any
other
criteria
but
say
that
they
actually
helped
close
the
opportunity
gap
and
I'm
kind
of
thinking
to
myself.
Even
though
they're
not
a
part
of
this
process,
other
organizations
accountable
as
well
that
do
not
have
to
go
through
any
sort
of
process
that
receive
actually
receive
right
now,
more
than
what
our
maximum
amount
would
be
allowed.
K
A
L
A
A
K
If
you're
not
converted
about
that
some,
maybe
you
are
so
really
it's
not
even
a
it's.
For
me,
it's
really
not
even
about
and
bad
per
se.
It's
the
fact
that
we
have.
We
want
to
recommend
this
announcement
with
the
meeting
coming
up.
When
is
this
going
to
go
on
the
council
agenda?
February
the
11th?
That's
like
right
around!
We
have
a
couple
of
unanswered
questions.
We
have
certain
things
that
seem
very
important
to
me
and
I.
Don't
feel
comfortable,
making
recommendations
in
front
of
putting.
H
K
B
K
A
The
implicit
we
if
we
and
I
want
to
come
back
to
what
the
unanswered
questions
are,
but
if
we
push
the
timetable
out
so
that
maybe
we
had
one
more
meeting
on
it
in
February
and
it
went
to
council
at
the
end
of
February.
What
does
that
do
to
the
timeline
the
application
time
I
mean?
Can
we
I
guess
what
I'm
asking
is
what
happens
if
we
bug
the
application
timeline
out
a
month.
B
It's
just
I
think
the
main
thing
is
we're
up
against
getting
everything
into
the
budget.
Usually
I
think
they
want
us
to
have
all
of
these
funding
decisions,
wrapped
up
I,
think
in
the
latest
in
May,
as
it
moves
to
the
budget,
and
so
there's
just
that
concern
to
make
sure
people
with
the
application
opens
have
enough
time
to
respond
to
it
and
then
get
it
back
in
time
for
the
decision-making
to
happen
and
get
it
through
so
can
be
move
forward
in
this
year's
budget.
D
A
B
A
K
D
A
I
Thank
you
and
again
Nicole
haaa
from
battlefield
cities.
I
wanted
to
say
two
things
really
quickly.
One
is
I
know
you
are
receiving
staff
updates
that
I
wanted
to
personally
give
you
an
update
about
the
actual
Welcome
Community
Land
Trust.
We
did
just
hire
our
first
interim
part-time
executive
director,
which
is
a
major
deal
for
us,
and
it
means
that
we'll
begin
we'll
be
able
to
begin
to
steward
properties
this
year,
so
she's
coming
in
at
the
end
of
January
and
we're
gonna
get
her
oriented
and
she'll
begin
right
away.
So
that's
exciting.
I
The
other
thing
I
wanted
to.
Let
you
all
maybe
marinate
on.
Certainly
no
decisions
today,
I
think
that
thinking
about
the
power
of
bond
funding
in
order
to
address
long-standing
issues
is
really
an
important
tool
and
I
think
we'll
look
back
and
see
how
useful
it
was
for
affordable
housing
and
things
like
that.
After
this
bond
period,
current
bond
period
ends.
I
I
would
like
to
encourage
us
to
think
again
outside
the
box
about
those
ongoing
fairly
disastrous
effects
of
our
urban
renewal
policies,
and
is
it
possible
to
issue
bonds
to
address
some
of
those
ongoing
effects?
I
know
the
word
reparation
is,
you
know
not
bandied
about
lightly,
but
a
bond
for
urban
renewal.
Reparation
would
be
really
interesting
and
I.
Think
it's
gonna
take
that
kind
of
money
to
actually
make
a
significant
impact
on
the
opportunity.
