this
year.
We
we've
done
glasses.
Hearing
aids,
we
do
teeth
for
seniors.
Our
job
is
to
keep
seniors
if
we
can
in
their
home,
because
it's
cheaper
for
medicaid
and
medicare.
They
live
longer,
they're,
healthier,
half
happier
and
healthier
by
living
in
their
own
home.
So
we
do
a
lot
of
stuff
and
we
fund
some
of
the
programs
here
at
bay,
county
meals
on
wheels
and
repairs
and
respite
care,
different,
all
different,
most
use
all
know
what
we
do
and
we're
glad
to
do
it.
H
This
is
exciting
work
because
you
know
there's
no
better
service
to
mankind
than
one
man
helping
another
one,
woman
or
one
man.
If
you
know
what
I
mean
doing
for
someone,
that's
really
in
need,
and
so
I
now
that
you
got
that
I'm
going
to
have
my
director
come
up
and
he'll,
tell
you
about
the
project
and
explain
where
we're
going
so
curious.
His
name
is
bob
brown
he's
our
director
for
regency.
K
K
we
work
for
you.
We
will
always
work
for
you
we're
the
best
investment.
I
think
the
county
ever
makes
in
everything.
We
do.
You
give
us
a
stipend
to
support
our
program,
a
few
thousand
dollars
a
year
and
we
return
millions
to
those
programs
that
pat
just
talked
about
millions.
So
we're
not
only
the
social
program,
we're
an
economic
engine
of
bay
county
and
we
also
work
with
your
department
on
aging
beth.
So
we
look
forward
to
continuing
those,
but
we
also
would
like
to
look
forward
to
the
future
in
the
campus
of
region.
K
7
on
euclid
we've
worked
through
this
pandemic
directly
with
your
local
health
department,
your
county
health
department
and
delivering
vaccines.
We
started
out
with
flus
a
couple
years
ago,
vaccines
and
we
migrated
very
quickly.
We
were
set
up,
so
we
didn't
work
in
competition,
but
just
like
we
do
with
your
department
on
aging,
we
worked
hand
in
hand
wherever
they
asked
us
to
go
and
help
deliver,
put
the
jab
in
the
iron
put
the
vaccine
and
somebody
that
wanted
it.
K
K
We
are
building
a
campus
there
of
integrated
care,
concentrating
on
seniors
so
clinic
pharmacy
therapy
to
those
that
can't
afford
it
don't
have
insurance.
Now.
In
regards
to
this,
I
heard
that
you
know
you
know.
Buildings
today
are
very
expensive.
This
is
expensive,
but
this
is
going
to
help
the
whole
campus,
not
just
this
building
and
have
us
deliver
hundreds
of
clients,
health
care
that
integrated
health
care
they're
confused.
K
K
A
K
A
L
Good
afternoon,
everyone,
my
name,
is
brian
harrison.
I
work
with
advising
care
home
health
and
hospice,
and
I'm
actually
here
today
again
just
delivering
information.
I
the
work.
We
do.
We
work
with
medicare,
medicaid
veterans,
work,
work,
comp,
those
have
been
injured
and
also
those
have
been
injured
in
auto
accidents.
L
I'm
here
today
to
urge
or
just
draw
some
awareness
to
the
challenges
that
we
as
home,
health
care
providers
are
now
facing
under
the
current
auto
insurance
reform
act
that
was
passed
in
2019,
first
and
foremost
doing
this
work.
We
did
see
a
lot
of
the
fraud
that
went
into
the
auto
insurance
world
that
we
as
michiganders
lived
in
and
do
not
wish
to
repeal
that
act
in
any
way,
shape
or
form.
L
We
do
believe
that
rates
should
be
lowered
and
that
we
should
find
relief
as
drivers
in
that
way,
but
at
the
same
time,
we
believe
the
legislature
not
any
fault
of
their
own,
put
a
few
things
in
there.
That
might
have
been
overlooked,
specifically
renforcing,
again
hourly
home
health
care,
which
could
include
catastrophic
24
7
care
for
those
with
brain
injuries
and
spinal
cord
injuries.
Who
don't
have
another
place
to
go
or
other
care
to
be
received?
L
What's
happening?
Currently?
Is
billing
rates
that
were
provided
by
home
health
care
agencies
such
as
ourselves
that
were
reasonable
at
around?
Maybe
thirty
dollars
an
hour
to
take
care
of
someone
with
a
brain
injury,
spinal
cord
injury
are
now
being
reduced
by
50
by
45
percent,
which
are
getting
reimbursements
back
at
now
between
14
to
16
dollars
an
hour
and
I'm
again
I'm
not
a
math
major.
I
love
the
face,
commissioner
fox.
L
L
We
have
been
working
with
rep
phil
green
who's,
been
wonderful
at
drafting
a
bill
with
house
leadership's
direction
to
potentially
get
something
moving
so
I'll,
be
sending
some
updates,
as
I'm
able
to
potentially
get
on
the
agenda
and
talk
more
about
that
bill.
Simply
as
a
county
to
draw
some
awareness
would
be
fantastic.
Thank
you.
A
M
M
There
are
other
options,
though,
out
there
that
I
just
want
to
make
my
opinion
on
that
clear.
I
have
huge
concerns
regarding
our
community.
Its
well-being
and
its
future
bay
county
is
failing
on
many
different
levels.
This
is
my
home.
This
is
where
my
husband
and
I
chose
to
raise
our
family.
This
is
where
I
grew
up.
It
has
so
much
potential
with
so
many
wonderful
people.
Our
community's
children
are
hurting
emotionally.
M
They
are
screaming
for
help.
Our
community's
children
are
missing
school
from
the
demand
in
our
public
school
systems
for
healthy
children
to
be
quarantined,
which
is
not
only
detrimental
to
their
emotional
health,
but
to
their
future
as
a
whole.
Stunting,
a
child's
educational
development
can
take
years
to
correct
all
while
creating
psychological
damage.
Our
children
have
zero
stability
anymore,
which
is
of
huge
importance
to
their
development.
M
Wearing
masks
has
created
widespread
issues
with
development,
health
and
anxiety
amongst
our
most
vulnerable.
We
have
people
moving
out
of
the
community,
pulling
kids
out
to
be
homeschooled
families
losing
their
jobs
and
careers
to
become
full-time
teachers,
and
this
community
is
losing
its
faith
and
trust
in
its
representation,
which
is
an
extremely
dangerous
slippery
slope.
I
have
seen
a
ton
of
push
to
become
vaccinated
from
our
health
department.
Let
me
just
say
all
push:
mandates,
discrimination
and
division
between
the
vaccine.
M
Unbacks
has
to
stop,
but
there
are
new
health
recommendations
and
guidelines,
which
I
know
today
is
changing
again
from
what
I
hear
are
cova
positive
have
more
rights
than
are
unvaccinated.
This
is
absurd.
Where
there
is
risk,
there
must
also
be
choice.
Keep
in
mind
when,
following
guidance
from
health
officials,
one
must
be
certain
that
any
protocols
they
are
creating
avoid
offending
the
constitution.
M
M
This
is
something
that
should
be
of
utmost
importance,
especially
during
a
time
when
we
need
our
immune
systems
functioning
at
their
best,
whether
we
believe
in
the
vaccine
or
not,
we
do
know
that,
even
if
you
get
it,
you
can
still
get
and
spread
covet.
The
community
feels
like
there
is
an
agenda
being
pushed
rather
than
our
well-being
and
health
being
a
priority.
I
know
that
you
have
the
power
to
make
a
huge
difference
in
this
community.
I
recently
learned
from
attending
another
court
case
in
michigan
just
how
much
power
our
commissioners
truly
hold.
M
Michigan
is
number
six
in
the
top
states
with
people
leaving
the
state
michigan
colleges,
universities
have
dwindling
student
enrollment
rates.
I
attended
a
board
meeting
for
bay
city
public
schools
where
they
discussed
having
to
get
rid
of
some
of
their
schools
and
staff.
Because
of
lack
of
students.
We
have
school
bus
routes
being
canceled
due
to
lack
of
bus
drivers.
The
number
of
people
becoming
fed
up
is
growing
people
or
please
help
us
to
rectify
things
before
it's
too
late.
This
isn't
just
a
county.
This
is
our
county.
M
We
shouldn't
need
to
flee
to
find
a
place
to
live
with
representatives
that
stand
up
for
their
people.
We
are
michiganders,
americans
and
children
of
god.
Our
country
was
founded
as
a
christian
nation
and
is
protected
by
the
constitution.
Fear
does
not
does
not
and
cannot,
discredit
the
fact
that
we
have
rights.
The
government
does
not
have
the
right
to
regulate.
M
We,
the
people
under
the
guise
of
keeping
us
safe
or
to
protect
us
from
one
another
when
it
comes
to
our
health
and
welfare,
no
matter
how
big
or
small,
young
or
old
rights
that
have
been
given
to
us
by
god
cannot
be
taken
away
from
us
by
man.
This
is
our
home
and
we
need
your
help
and
I
just
want
to
end
this
with
a
quote
for
all
that
may
be
listening
everywhere.
M
If
you
are
silent
about
your
beliefs,
because
you
are
worried,
someone
will
be
offended,
then
your
beliefs
are
not
that
important
to
you,
but
rather
what
people
think
about
you
is
what
people
see
about.
You
will
speak
more
loudly
than
how
people
feel
about
you,
because
in
the
end,
when
we
stand
up
for
what
is
right
and
true,
we
will
have
many
who
hate
us
or
love
us,
but
all
will
know
what
we
are
fighting
for
tb
leverage.
Thank
you.
C
C
G
G
G
G
G
No,
you
can't
have
that
a
pharmacist,
even
though
it
was
prescribed
by
one
of
the
front-line
doctors,
refused
her
life-saving
medications.
By
the
time
I
was
finally
negative
and
could
get
out
there
to
get
her
what
she
needed.
It
was
too
late.
The
damage
was
done.
Her
lungs
were
too
scarred.
She
had
blood
clots.
This
long
in
her
legs.
G
They
wouldn't
let
me
in
with
her
in
the
ambulance
in
the
er,
so
I
had
to
wait
16
hours
before
I
get
a
call
from
the
hospital
from
the
er.
To
finally
tell
me
what's
going
on
with
her,
which
I
already
knew,
because
my
background
is
emergency
medicine
and
flight
medicine.
My
sister
is
a
retiree.
My
mom
is
retiree
from
bay
med,
so
we
knew
what
was
going
on
and
we
knew
she
was
being
admitted
to
the
unit.
G
G
Finally,
so
they
said
she
had
covered
pneumonia
because
you
know
you
got
to
have
covet
in
there
so
that
they
can
make
money
off
it
because
their
lungs
were
so
scarred
from
covid,
but
we
don't
know
because
we
weren't
allowed
in
they
put
her
up
in
the
unit
and
they
still
we're
not
really
doing
anything.
For
her
just
comfort,
meds,
basically
well,
there's
nothing.
We
can
do
we'll
give
her
hepburn
ivf
hepburn,
but
the
clots
are
too
big.
G
G
G
G
So
now
we
said:
okay,
we
get
ahold
of
my
aunt
who
has
been
doing
hospice
for
20
years
and
it's
the
best
hospice
in
the
state
rated
number
one
award
after
award
after
award.
We
get
it
all
set
up.
We
can
get
mom
back
to
what
she
calls
her
apartment
at
bay
city,
comfort,
care,
everything's
set
up.
We
got
the
oxygen.
We
got
everything
there
so
that
she
can
at
least
die
with
the
one
her
loved
ones
there.
G
G
G
G
L
N
N
N
N
It
gets
dirty
and
it's
really
dirty,
but
it
needs
to
be
cleaned
and
I
have
two
daughters
in
chicago
I
was
telling
jim.
I
said
you
know
they
clean
their
buildings
all
the
time
and
they
look
fantastic.
Of
course
they
got
a
lot
of
money
in
chicago
too,
but
limestone.
If
you
were
to
look
at
the
outside
right
now,
you
would
never
believe
what
it
really
looks
like
cleaned
up,
it's
white,
it's
beautiful
right!
Now,
it's
a
brown
to
black
but
anyways.
The
other
thing
is,
I
understand
the
windows
we
replaced
in
the
80s.
N
N
So
he
would
they
could
clean
the
building
seal,
the
building,
inspect
all
of
the
windows
and
caulk
all
the
windows
and
you're
good
for
another
50
years
and
we'll
all
be
gone,
but
I
think
it's
something
that
the
people
at
bay
county
would
they
take
pride
in
this
building.
I
mean,
when
you
ask
the
average
person
in
their
mind
what
they
think
of
as
bait
bay
county
this
building,
they
think
of
this
building,
and
you
have
a
highway
out
here
that
people
from
all
over
see
it
and
I'm
sure,
every
time
they're
at
a
stoplight.
N
They
look
up
and
it's
not
a
good
site,
so
anyways,
I'm
just
putting
that
out.
I
think
that
if
we
could
clean
the
building,
I
think
everybody
in
bay
county
would
love
it.
They
would.
They
would
not
realize
the
color
it's
white
versus
brown
and
black,
but
anyways.
The
last
thing
is:
is
we
have
the
money
now
and
are
we
going
to
have
this
money
again
in
the
future
slim
to
none?
N
You
can
get
bits
for
free
and
that's
where
I'm
going
to
leave
it
right
there
just.
I
would
hope
that
somebody
could
make
a
motion
to
have
somebody
look
into
this
and
possibly
get
some
bits
and
if
it's
terribly
expensive
well,
that's
just
the
way
it
is
but
like
they
say
on
tv,
it's
free,
you
know,
so
I'm
going
to
leave
it
at
that.
Thank
you
very
much.
Thank
you.
A
O
Morning,
good
afternoon,
commissioners,
county
executive,
barsha,
county
staff.
It's
I
appreciate
the
opportunity
to
speak
to
you
today.
I
actually
presented
this
same
information
to
the
city
bay
city
council,
and
they
asked
me
to
bring
it
in
front
of
you
as
well.
I'm
not
asking
for
anything
other
than
to
provide
you
with
information,
so
I
that
might
be
a
change
of
venue
from
normal
for
you,
but
so
today,
I'm
just
going
to
talk
a
little
bit.
O
You
have
your
slides
in
front
of
you,
I'm
going
to
talk
just
what
michigan
works
is
a
quick
overview
for
those
of
you
who
aren't
familiar
with
us,
as
well
as
giving
an
update
on
where
bay
county
is
going
now
in
the
future.
So,
first
of
all,
michigan
works.
We're
an
employer-focused,
demand-driven
agency,
we're
structured
to
meet
the
specific
demands
of
our
region.
O
Our
mission
is
to
provide
high
quality
customer
service
connecting
employers
with
our
labor
force.
Our
staff
works
directly
with
employers
to
help
them
realize
the
talent
they
need
and
then
our
our
front
line
workers
work
with
job
seekers
to
prepare
them
to
meet
the
job
market
and
the
needs
of
those
regional
employers.
O
So
that's
what
we
are
as
michigan
works.
Now
I'm
going
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
bay
county,
I'm
going
to
talk
about
where
our
population
is
where
it
has
been
and
where
it's
going,
as
well
as
some
of
our
indicators,
as
well
as
the
industries
in
our
in
the
county
in
our
region,
where
they're
going
and
I'm
going
to
leave
you
with
some
talking
points,
some
takeaways
from
from
the
presentation
glossary,
I'm
going
to
talk
about
some
terms,
and
I
really
want
to
make
sure
that
I
hit
these
before
we
go
that
way.
O
Everything
makes
a
little
more
sense.
I'm
going
to
talk
about
unemployment
rate,
that's
basically
the
percentage
of
folks
who
are
actively
looking
for
work
out
out
of
our
labor
force.
I'm
going
to
talk
about
our
labor
force
participation
rate.
Those
of
our
population
are
actually
engaged
in
the
workforce,
whether
that's
looking
for
work
or
working
total
employment.
That's
everybody
actively
working
a
prime
working
age,
that's
a
key
demographic
25
to
64.
O
and
then
also
I'm
going
to
talk
about
those
not
in
the
labor
force
and
that's
going
to
be
a
key
point.
Moving
forward,
those
not
in
the
labor
force
are
basically
those
who
were
not
employed
during
a
reference
week
and
those
who
were
not
actively
looking
for
work.
I
guarantee
that's
not
me
doing
that
and
then
finally,
I'm
going
to
talk
about
alice,
that's
a
acronym
stands
for
asset
limited
income
constrained
employed,
it's
a
key
key
indicator,
basically
those
folks
who
are
working
hard,
but
yet
not
necessarily
making
enough
to
survive.
O
So
whenever
I
talk
about
population,
I
talk
about
a
population
for
a
specific
area,
and
then
I
also
talk
about
the
population
that
contributes
to
that
area
in
bay
county.
That's
the
middle
of
the
graphic
in
yellow,
that's
actually
what
we're
talking
about,
but
all
those
areas
in
red
around
bay
county,
that's
where
your
workforce
is
actually
communicating
from.
So
you
have
a
lot
that
work
here
in
bay
county,
but
you
also
have
a
lot
that
commute
in
from
the
surrounding
county.
O
So
now
I'm
going
to
take
a
step
back
population
change.
Where
have
we
gone
in
the
last
10
years?
This
is
a
a
graphic
that
was
produced
by
the
u.s
u.s
census
bureau
and
everything
in
that
picture.
That's
green
means
that
over
the
last
10
years,
you've
gained
population
every
county,
that's
not
green
or
beige
is
actually
those
counties
that
lost
population.
As
you
can
see,
our
entire
region,
specifically
our
entire
half
of
the
state,
has
lost
population
over
the
last
10
years.
O
So
that's
that's
really
important
for
us
to
know
where
we've
been
and
that
way
it
also
ties
into
where
we're
moving
breaking
this
down
a
little
further.
So,
as
you
know,
michigan's
broken
into
10
prosperity,
regions,
our
prosperity
region
that
we
belong
to
is
east
central
michigan
region
and
those
prosperity,
regions
really
tie
into
work,
worker
flows
and
and
supply
chain,
and,
as
you
can
see,
east
central
michigan
per
capita
has
the
largest
loss
of
any
prosperity
region
in
the
entire
state,
which
is
really
saying
a
lot.
O
And
it's
something
to
be.
You
know
definitely
take
note
of
moving
forward
breaking
it
down
even
further,
getting
a
little
bit
closer,
the
great
lakes
bay
region.
So
this
is
the
five
counties
that
that
I
represent.
We
lost
about
4.3
percent
of
our
population
in
the
last
10
years,
bay
county
lost
3.6,
so
not
quite
you're,
still
doing
better
than
the
regional
average
midland
actually
has
the
lowest
they're
fairly
flat.
O
Over
the
last
10
years,
isabella
county
lost
8.4,
that's
kind
of
a
misnomer
in
the
fact
that
a
lot
of
those
students
who
would
normally
be
captured
during
the
census
in
april
were
all
home,
so
they
weren't
captured
so
from
a
comparison
of
2010
2020.
It
looks
artificially
like
a
larger
change,
not
necessarily
true,
but
at
least
it
shows
us
just
how
much
the
impact
of
those
students
are
to
the
population
of
that
county.
So
that's
why
I
wanted
to
highlight
that.
O
So
that's
where
we
are
in
the
last
10
years,
our
region,
our
county
and
those
surrounding
counties
have
not
done
so
well
state
of
michigan.
Actually,
we
are
a
little
we're
about
flat.
We
had
about
two
percent
overall
gain,
so
the
state
is
gaining
people,
that's
good.
Unfortunately,
they're
not
they're,
not
staying
in
our
region
moving
forward,
so
using
a
lot
of
people
who
are
a
lot
smarter
than
me.
O
As
I
talked
about
those
surrounding
counties,
so
the
ones
who
wear
that
labor
force
feeds
into
bay
county
they're,
also
losing
population
over
the
next
25
years,
a
big
takeaway
from
this
chart
each
one
of
these,
these
bars
is
a
composite
of
all
five
counties
population,
as
you
can
see,
they're
getting
smaller
over
the
next
25
years,
the
only
county
in
our
region-
that's
not,
is
actually
midland
county.
That's
basically
staying
the
same.
It's
about
a
point,
two
percent
overall
growth,
so
it
is
growing
which
is
not
very
much
one.
O
So
now
we've
talked
about
the
population
shift
it's
getting
smaller,
but
it's
also
getting
older
specifically
that
silver
tsunami.
I
know
ryan
tarrant
from
the
chamber.
He
talks
about
the
soviet
tsunami,
a
lot.
Basically
the
the
ratio,
the
percentage
of
our
population
is
actually
getting
older
and
so
there's
going
to
be
less
people
working
this.
This
graphic
actually
shows
the
the
column
to
the
right
or
the
green
one.
That's
those
folks
who
are
basically
too
young
for
the
workforce.
O
The
blue
middle
one
are
those
who
are
at
that
prime
working
age
and
then
the
yellow
to
the
right
is
actually
that's
our
those
who
are
typically
outside
of
the
the
work
force
65
and
above
as
you
can
see.
Overall,
the
trend
is
to
get
smaller,
but
the
there's,
a
higher
percentage
of
that
population
is
older
outside
of
the
workforce,
it
peaks
in
2035,
and
then
it
actually
equalizes
moving
forward
that
2035
peak,
that
is,
that
silver
tsunami,
that's
kind
of
the
last
representation
of
the
baby
boomers
before
they
start
leaving
our
population.
O
O
Our
surrounding
counties
are
showing
the
same
labor
shift
as
bay
county.
Is
they
don't
quite
have
the
the
higher
the
age
ratio
of
that
outside
the
work
that
65
and
above
but
overall
the
population
is
getting
smaller.
So
that's
really
key
to
identify
is
the
fact
that
moving
forward
our
employers
need
talent
and
that
talent
we're
going
to
have
to
figure
new
and
innovative
ways
to
find
it,
because
it's
not
going
to
be
there
using
our
traditional
methods.
O
So
we
talked
about
where
our
population
is
so
that's
our
raw
materials.
For
when
we
talk
about
a
labor
force,
then
we
talk
about
the
next
metric.
That
we
like
to
reference
is
a
labor
force,
participation
rate.
So
what
that
is,
is
the
overall
percentage
of
the
population
that's
actively
working,
so
that's
16
above
that
is
actually
engaged
in
the
labor
force
or
trying
to
get
into
it.
There
are
three
lines
on
this
chart.
The
top
line
are
males
over
the
age
of
16..
O
The
middle
line
is
a
composite
for
all,
basically
total
workers,
and
then
the
bottom
line
are
females
over
the
age
of
16..
So,
as
you
can
see,
we've
actually
showed
a
slight
decrease
from
the
beginning
of
this
chart.
Now
this
chart
starts
after
the
last
recession.
In
2010
we
show
a
slight
decrease
but
fairly
level
in
the
labor
force.
Participation
rate
that
decrease
is
directly
related
to
retirements
an
older
workforce,
as
the
baby
boomers
started
to
age
get
out
of
the
workforce.
That's
what
was
demonstrated
by
that
decrease.
O
So
that's
expected
coven
is
that
december
2019
that
bar
that's,
where
we
had
a
sharp
drop
in
labor
force
participation
it
equalized
after
covert
fairly
quickly,
but
it
has
not
yet
reached
recovered
levels.
The
university
of
michigan
michigan
did
a
report.
They
expect
that
return
to
pre-covet
somewhere
around
2023,
so
the
first
quarter,
so
we're
still
not
out
of
the
out
of
the
woods.
Yet
we
did
a
survey
of
our
cons
of
our
participants.
O
So
we
can
get
a
better
idea
of
why
folks
still
haven't
come
back
into
the
labor
force,
so
that's
kind
of
what
we're
looking
at.
Not
only
is
our
population
getting
smaller,
but
it's
forecasted
to
have
fewer
people
actually
engaged
in
the
labor
force,
which
means
that
we
need
to
try
new
and
exciting
ways
to
get
folks
engaged
in
working
in
our
in
our
region.
O
O
What
this
is
really
meant
to
do
is
be
a
one-stop
shop
kind
of
a
dashboard
of
how
things
are
going.
The
indicators
across
the
top
dark
blue
line.
These
are
some
of
the
globally
universally
identified
metrics
that
really
go
into
how
a
workforce
is
going.
So
as
you,
we
talked
about
population
across
our
region
and
went
down
labor
force
participation
rates,
some
counties
have
shown
an
increase.
This
was
all
pre-coveted,
the
closest
demographic,
the
closest
data
that
I
have
is
from
2019,
which
is
displayed
here.
O
That
data
in
the
previous
slide
were
actually
current,
but
that's
on
a
nationwide
level,
so
there
shouldn't
be
any
reason
why
those
trends
haven't
remained
constant
throughout
total
employment.
The
big
key
for
this
column
is
that
in
the
bay
county,
saginaw
county
and
our
region
as
a
whole,
we
have
not
met
the
number
of
jobs
that
was
pre-coded
so
basically
a
year
ago,
we're
still
losing
jobs,
although
unemployment
rate
is
good,
which
is
those
people
who
are
actively
looking
for
work
that
is
low
to
very
close
to
pre-coveted
numbers.
O
The
number
of
jobs
out
there
that
are,
who
are
actively
employed
has
not
reached
pre-covert,
yet
so
that's
kind
of
what
that
that
column
indicates
and
then
another.
I
guess,
a
good
indicator
is
average
annual
wage
so
over
the
last
since
pre-cove
our
annual
wage
for
our
region's
gone
up
by
eleven
percent,
which
is
an
incredibly
fast
rate.
O
That
is
because
there
was
a
low
talent
poll
before
covent
a
lot
of
people
left,
employers
still
needed
to
produce
their
product,
their
demand
is
still
high,
and
so
wages
have
gone
up
extremely
extremely
fast
and
those
are
probably
still
raising
still
rising
as
we
speak.
And
so
that's
that's
a
good
thing.
That
means,
though
wages
are
increasing.
O
Typically,
whenever
you
see
low
unemployment,
wages
will
start
to
arise
shortly
after
and
then
they'll
rise
to
a
point
where
employers
can't
keep
affording
to
pay
people,
and
then
it
kind
of
levels
out
and
your
employment
goes
up.
So
it's
a
cycle
and
unfortunately
kovitt
kind
of
screwed
all
that
up,
and
we
expect
that
to
equalize
itself
here
in
a
year
or
two,
but
as
it
is
right
now,
we've
actually
shown
a
quite
a
significant
increase
in
raise
in
wages
and
that's
what
it's
taking
to
get
people
back
in
the
labor
force.
O
That's
one
method!
Finally,
I
wanted
to
point
out
the
household
above
alice,
so
those
those
folks
who
are
working
but
not
necessarily
making
enough
in
bay
county.
It's
65,
so
I
mean
65.
The
popular
percent
of
population
is
above
that
threshold.
That's
good
in
other
counties
in
our
region,
for
example,
isabella
county-
it's
actually
almost
one
to
one
so
for
every
person
who
doesn't
make
enough
to
exist,
we
have
one
who
does,
and
so
that's
a
very
concerning
metric
is
bay.
County
is
actually
above
the
state
as
a
whole,
which
is
good.
O
O
You
have
the
training
that
that
provides
the
the
base,
the
foundation
for
a
good
career,
and
so
the
lower
that
number
is
the
better
bay
county
and
gresha
county
has
actually
shown
an
increase
over
the
last
year
over
a
year
year
that
that
percentage
has
increased.
So
that
is
good.
Some
of
our
counties
are
static.
If
not
going
down
a
little
bit,
that
is
bad.
The
state
of
michigan
as
a
whole
is
8.2
percent,
which
is
actually
higher,
which,
which
is
higher
than
bay
county.
So
bay
county
is
doing
something
right.
It's
just.
O
O
So
from
a
talent
perspective.
I
promise
it's
not
me.
Bay
county
unemployment
rate
is
five
percent
you're
actually
lower
than
the
state
as
a
whole,
which
is
good
the
population.
Unfortunately,
is
going
down
over
the
next
25
years
that
percentage
of
the
population
that
is
actually
working
is
going
down.
It's
actually
decreased
about
27
percent,
and
then
our
population
is
getting
slightly
older
at
about
272
over
the
next
25
years,
so
fairly
steady.
But
there
is
a
slight
increase
now
the
surrounding
counties,
the
unemployment's
much
higher.
O
So
that
means
that
there
should
be
more
people
to
pull
from
outside
of
bay
county
still
not
reached
pre-coveted
levels,
but
still
much
better
than
they
were
in
may
of
2020,
where
we
were
almost
at
20
unemployment.
So
that's,
basically
one
in
five
people
were
looking
for
work
that
weren't
working
the
population
change
for
our
region
is
not
looking
good.
Basically
we're
going
to
lose
about
52
000
people
over
the
next
25
years
in
population,
not
not
a
good,
definitely
not
a
good
thing.
O
Our
working
population
is
also
getting
smaller
and
then
the
population
is
getting
it's
getting
older,
just
not
it's
just
not
going
down
as
high
as
the
rate
as
the
rest
of
the
surrounding
counties.
So
that's
talent,
talent,
is.
We
don't
have
enough
people
there's
a
bottom
line
for
where
we
are
now,
and
it's
going
to
look
that
way.
If
we
don't
do
something
different
in
the
next
25
years,
I'm
going
to
shift
a
little
bit
to
industry
where
our
industries
are.
O
This
is
a
kind
of
an
eye
chart
and
the
big
thing
to
take
away
is.
There
are
three
main
items
that
are
shown
on
this
on
this
graphic
everything
that
is
above
that
center
line
demonstrates
that
center
line
is
the
average
wage.
So
everything
above
that
line
is
better
than
the
average
wage
for
the
state
everything
below
is
below
the
average
wage
and
then
the
vertical
line
that
represents
growth.
So
everything
on
the
right
of
that
is
growing.
O
That's
related
directly
to
our
aging
workforce.
The
the
older
folks
get
the
more
medical
services
they
require
so
that
that
industry
goes
everything
else
is
shifting,
and
that
shift
is
directly
related
to
to
just
a
lower
population.
I
can
say
one
of
the
good
things
is
that
average
wage
a
lot
of
the
jobs
in
the
region
are
much
closer,
if
not
above
that
average
wage.
So
that's
good.
That's
definitely
good!
For
our
our
workforce.
O
Our
surrounding
counties
are
very
much
see,
are
forecasted
to
see
the
same
trend.
The
industry
shift
is
going
to
really
go
towards
the
increase
in
the
in
the
health
sectors
industry
and
then
everything
else
is
going
to
decrease
with
the
population,
as
you
can
see
that
that
industry
spread
is
much
wider
than
it
is
for
bay
county.
Just
because
it's
we're
talking
about
a
larger
population
and
more
county
specific
industries
like
the
manufacturing
or
the
services
industry.
Stuff
like
that,
so
again,
not
as
wide
for
the
the
wage,
the
annual
average
wage.
O
O
I'm
sorry
about
the
blinking.
I
don't
know
what's
in
that,
so
finally
to
bring
away
some
big
talking
points,
the
biggest
needs
of
employers,
and
this
goes
across
the
board.
It
doesn't
matter
what
the
industry
is
is
talent.
There
are
just
not
enough
people
right
now
in
bay
county,
and
this
is
a
hot
off
the
press.
This
morning
in
bay
county
alone,
there
are
3
392,
active
job
advertisements
in
bay,
county
alone.
Almost
2
000
of
them
are
full-time
work,
jobs.
O
There's
a
lot
of
work
out
there
in
our
region,
the
great
lakes
bay,
michigan
works
region.
There
are
12,
000
active
job
advertisements
out
there
right
now,
that's
a
huge
number
of
opportunity
for
employers
and
that's
what
we're
really
or
for
employees.
That's
what
we're
really
trying
to
to
advertise
to
our
participants.
O
Population
forecast
is
our
population,
for
our
region
is
going
to
be
getting
smaller
and
older.
Therefore,
attaction
and
retention
is
crucial,
making
the
most
of
the
people
that
are
there
now
and
working
to
attract
people
into
our
region,
and
basically
our
bottom
line
is
long-term
planning
can't
just
be
one
particular
area.
Historically,
we
would
be
able
to
focus
on
one
area
and
that
would
kind
of
fill
it.
O
This
has
to
be
multi-faceted
from
a
michigan
work
standpoint,
we're
focusing
on
those
students
as
early
as
middle
school,
trying
to
get
them
interested
in
careers
here
in
our
region.
So
they
stay.
The
great
lakes
bay
region
has
60
000
students
right
now,
a
lot
of
them
don't
stay,
and
we
need
to
change
that.
O
Also,
it's
attracting
new
people
into
the
workforce
who
potentially
those
people
who
aren't
necessarily
looking
for
work,
getting
them
into
the
workforce
and
then
also
trying
to
trying
to
bring
people
into
the
region
who
who
may
not
have
started
here,
but
those
are
the
big
takeaways.
I
hope
that
this
was
informative,
and
this
is
really
just
meant
to
help
move
forward
and
provide
you
with
the
data
to
make
a
good
decision.
P
O
O
City
bay
county
is
a
great
place
to
live,
however,
by
itself
it
can't
compete
with
the
ann
arbor's
and
the
grand
rapids.
However,
the
great
lakes
bay
region
is
a
great
place
to
live
that
can
potentially
compete
with
those
larger
areas.
So
that's
kind
of
the
mindset
too
changing
things
we
can't
look
at
ourselves
as
an
individual
entity.
We
have
to
look
at
ourselves
as
a
region,
and
that's
probably
the
biggest
takeaway
for
from
this.
For
this
audience.
Thank.
F
Q
I'd
just
like
to
make
a
comment.
Thank
you,
chris,
for
the
presentation
something
I've
been
concerned
about
for
quite
a
while
is
the
out
migration
of
our
younger
talented.
You
know
aspiring
workforce
to
kent
county
or
even
out
of
state.
So
I
think
it's
one
of
the
biggest
challenges
the
county
faces
is
trying
to
mitigate
population
loss,
because
when
you
lose
people
you
lose,
the
9
500
per
student
grant
goes
to
support
our
school
systems
and
districts
in
bay
county.
Q
So
it's
a
real
challenge
and
we
all
have
to,
I
think,
work
together
to
try
to
to
move
forward
as
a
region
and
as
bay
county
to
you
know,
attract
and
retain.
As
many
younger
you
know,
workforce
participants
as
we
can
and
as
you
say,
we
have
a
lot
to
offer
here.
We
have
a
lot
of
great
things
going
for
us,
but
we're
an
older
county
and
we're
continuing
to
see
the
trend
that
the
rest
of
the
rural
counties
in
michigan
are
just
a
continual
erosion
of
our
population.
Q
O
C
P
A
A
R
Thank
you,
commissioner.
Herrick
commissioners.
My
name
is
trevor
keys,
I'm
the
president,
ceo
of
bay,
future.
We
are
the
county-wide
economic
development
organization,
that's
responsible
for
business
retention
and
business
growth
here
in
bay
county,
as
well
as
trying
to
bring
additional
people
in
specifically
workforce
and
working
with
our
partners
like
chris
and
his
team
at
great
lakes
bay
michigan
works.
R
R
If
you
have
questions
happy
to
answer
those,
the
first
that
I'd
like
to
talk
about
is
a
small
business
grant.
The
second
one
that
beth
rosa
tiki
from
the
small
business
development
center
is
going
to
speak
to
is
a
small
business
support
program
and
then
the
third
kind
of
initiative.
If
you
will,
that
will
be
spoken
or
that'll
that
ryan
taran
from
the
bay
area
chamber
of
commerce
will
reference
as
well
as
feel
like
from
full
steam.
R
Social
media
is
a
talent,
attraction
and
retention
piece
that
we're
hoping
like,
I
said
it
can
stem
the
tide
and
can
reverse
the
population
decreases
that
we've
seen
here
in
bay,
county
and
and
increase
those.
So,
as
you
all
know,
future
is
responsible
for
economic
development
throughout
bay,
county
and
bay
city
we've
been
working
diligently
since
the
executive
order,
20
in
march
of
2020,
went
into
effect
to
help
small
businesses
that
have
been
affected
by
covet
and
covid
mandates.
R
That
would
help
to
support
small
businesses
who
continue
to
suffer
and
continue
to
kind
of
hemorrhage
through
the
fifth
spike.
Now
that
we're
dealing
with
as
it
relates
to
cove
19.,
like
I
said,
we've
had
kind
of
a
track
record
of
success
and
having
been
able
to
do
this
diligently
focused
on
trying
to
help
small
businesses
during
this
time,
we
want
to
continue
to
be
able
to
do
that
and
use
the
funds
that
allow
the
american
rescue
plan
act.
R
You
have
that
a
packet
of
information
in
front
of
you
as
to
a
draft
plan
that
we
had
outlined,
happy
to
discuss
and
collaborate
on
what
that
can
look
like
moving
forward
so
that
it
can
bring
kind
of
the
best
it
can
and
be
the
most
beneficial
positive
initiative
to
small
businesses
that
it
can
be
and
and
help
to
bring
kind
of
those
bring
those
small
businesses,
the
relief
that
they
they
desperately
need.
With.
S
Good
afternoon,
so,
as
trevor
alluded
to
I'm,
the
regional
director
for
the
small
business
development
center
hosted
at
saginaw
valley,
state
state
university.
We
represent
15
counties
from
the
z
bridge
to
the
mackinac
bridge
and
everything
east.
That
said,
we've
seen
a
lot
of
small
businesses
come
through
our
doors
and
a
lot
of
new
businesses
wanting
to
launch
in
the
last
two
years.
I
moved
into
this
role
in
the
middle
of
the
pandemic
june
of
2020.
To
be
honest,
we've
helped
small
businesses,
pause,
pivot,
restart,
recover,
relaunch
and
survive
over
the
last
18
months.
S
It's
been
a
journey.
The
journey
is
not
over
there.
In
the
proposal
that
we've
provided
you
with
today
is
there's
two
components:
one
is
specific
small
business
support
to
those
existing
businesses,
so
we
have
a
variety
of
different
services
that
we
offer
through
no
cost
consulting
training
and
market
research
capabilities.
S
The
first
is
a
comeback
toolkit
which
are
focused
on
businesses
that
have
been
in
operation
for
longer
than
usually
two
to
three
years.
We
look
at
business
and
customer
implications,
digital
opportunities
and
technology,
reconfigurations,
sustainable
growth,
financial
forecasting
and
support,
as
well
as
workforce
supply.
Virtual
workforce
future
workforce
how?
How
do
we
make
sure
that
there's
people
within
those
companies
to
make
sure
that
they
can
provide
services
and
or
products
to
our
region?
The
second
is
the
more
one-on-one
consulting.
S
S
S
We've
ran
through
four
cohorts
through
throughout
the
last
two
years,
primarily
focused
on
saginaw
county
we've
had
some
bay
county
businesses
involved,
but
it's
a
12-week
intensive
program
that
looks
at
assessing
strengths,
weaknesses
and
bottlenecks,
resources
around
space,
product
development,
networking
and
training,
lessons
in
navigating
the
e-commerce
ecosystem,
customer
service,
technical
support
and
troubleshooting
and
last
but
not
least,
positioning
to
build
business
relationships
that
last
a
lot
of
our
businesses
that
are
just
starting
out
typically
count
on
their
own
internal
network,
friends,
family,
etc.
How
do
we
help
them?
Expand
to
that?
S
The
last
component
that
the
sbdc
are
one
of
the
last
components
that
the
sbdc
focuses
on
is
technology
commercialization?
Chris
did
a
great
job
outlining
some
of
the
industry
clusters,
where
there's
their
high
paying
high
wage
earning
jobs
that
are
on
the
growth
we
can
help
with
patents.
We
can
help
technology
commercialization
for
free,
so
these
are
services
that
are
covered
throughout
our
entire
region.
That
said,
our
capacity
limit
to
do
this
in
a
more
intentful
focus
for
bay
county
would
be
covered
through
some
of
these
arpa
dollars.
S
In
this
proposal,
someone,
I
think,
said
innovative
or
forward
thinking.
This
is
time
for
forward
thinking
investments.
We
know
that
we
have
a
declining
population,
we
have
an
aging
workforce.
What
can
we
do?
That's
going
to
be
innovative,
but
in
a
way
that's
going
to
be
the
right
fit
for
bay
county.
S
S
T
Thank
you,
beth.
Thank
you,
commissioner.
Here
commission
and
I'd
like
to
build
a
little
bit
about
on
what
chris
was
talking
about
with
all
of
the
data.
I
don't
need
to
throw
out
all
the
numbers.
Chris
is
the
expert,
but
you
know
in
bay
county.
I
think
we
all
realize
you
know
we
have
wonderful
people
here,
but
we
still
have
a
people
problem
we're
going
to
lose
one
in
five
people
over
the
next
25
years
per
capita.
T
We
are
20
percent
higher
age
65,
plus
than
the
state
average,
and
from
a
workforce
perspective,
much
of
what
cova
did
and
the
labor
shortage
is.
You
know
I
would
call
it
the
great
resignation
we
had
an
economist
in
to
talk
to
us
and
what
we're
seeing
is
stock
market
is
up
home,
prices
are
up,
so
people
have
built
equity
and
a
lot
of
people
are
not
coming
back
to
the
workforce
and
are
retiring,
so
we're
seeing
that
at
an
even
faster
pace
here
in
bay
county.
T
You
know
it's
terrifying
to
think
that
the
rest
of
the
region's
workforce
is
going
to
decrease
by
16
according
to
chris's
numbers.
At
the
same
time,
bay,
county's
workforce
by
25
percent-
we
know
that
this
matters,
because
95
percent
of
businesses
that
are
looking
to
relocate,
look
at
the
labor
market.
Do
they
have
enough
workers
in
an
area
to
support
what
they're
looking
to
build
without
taking
action?
Now
the
things
that
we
heard
today
are
going
to
become
a
self-fulfilling
prophecy.
T
So
how
do
we
change
it?
Well,
if
you
have
an
engineer
in
chicago
who
applies
for
a
job,
it
will
use
the
example
of
michigan
sugar
doesn't
get
an
interview.
He
probably
doesn't
ever
look
at
bay
county
again,
but
what
if
we
can
put
something
together
that
connects
that
engineer,
who's
looking
and
open
to
relocating
that
identifies
him
and
others
and
can
reach
hundreds
or
even
thousands
of
engineers
and
actually
connect
them
with
those
open
positions
here
in
bay,
county
and
in
the
region?
We
have
to
be
able
to
compete
for
talent,
statewide
and
nationally.
T
We
need
to
keep
our
young
people
here
by
collaborating
with
our
region's
universities
and
colleges,
and
we
can
do
that
by
marketing
our
community
and
all
the
opportunities
that
it
offers.
It
isn't
enough
anymore
to
just
post
a
job
job
opening
I
mean
he
mentioned
3
300,
open
jobs
in
bay,
county
alone
that
doesn't
work.
You
know
it's
not
enough
to
just
market
ourselves
and
say:
hey
we're
a
cool
place.
T
Those
things
have
to
come
together,
and
so
that's
why
phil
like,
and
I
from
full
steam
social
media
sort
of
put
together
this
piece
of
the
package
to
first
stop
that
bleeding
of
of
our
outsourcing
our
talent
but
then
also
growing.
Our
talent
base.
I'd
like
to
turn
things
over
to
phil,
to
explain
a
little
bit
more
about
how
this
works.
U
We
can
accomplish
these
tasks
by
following
and
improving
upon
models
of
already
successful
talent,
attraction
and
retention
platforms
like
hellowestmichigan.com
and
uncommoncharacter.com
of
st
joseph
missouri.
We
would
create
a
high
level
marketing
and
place
making
platform
a
one-stop
portal
into
all
things
bay
county.
U
After
an
initial
engagement,
design
and
creation
phase,
a
website
and
social
media
channels
would
launch
with
employment
opportunities,
relocation
and
community
information
and
marketing
content.
We
would
amplify
the
best
base
county
has
to
offer,
while
also
making
it
easy
for
people
to
find
information
about
our
community
and
engage
with
it.
This
proposal
also
includes
world-class
branding
and
alongside
social
media,
the
use
of
email,
marketing,
text-based
marketing,
podcasting
print
marketing
and
more.
U
U
This
effort
would
be
built
on
the
stories
of
the
people
of
bay
county
and
as
an
example.
The
story
based
marketing
approach
has
already
been
implemented
in
the
city
of
saginaw,
with
the
stories
there
being
seen
over
15
million
times
in
just
a
year
and
a
half
here
in
bay
city
in
just
25
episodes,
the
hey
bay
city
podcast,
has
been
downloaded
downloaded
over
ten
thousand
times
and
continues
to
be
downloaded
an
average
of
250
times
each
week,
even
without
new
episodes
being
published.
U
This
story
based
approach
is
a
unique
one
and
one
that
is
born
right
here
in
bay
county
and
it
has
already
been
tested
across
the
country.
I'm
confident
that
this
proposal
is
an
opportunity
for
bay
county
to
lead
the
region,
state
and
nation
in
place.
Focused
marketing
that
is
both
human
and
effective
placemaking,
is
creating
physical
and
social
changes
to
our
cities.
That
encourage
interaction,
connection
and
economic
development
bay
city's
feet
on
the
street
is
a
prime
example
of
how
simple
community-led.
U
Place-Making
efforts
can
be
a
critical
element
in
addressing
the
economic
effects
of
covert
19..
Not
only
did
it
provide
opportunities
for
restaurants
to
expand
and
serve
more
customers,
but
it
also
attracted
attention
to
the
quality
of
life
bay.
County
has
to
offer.
On
a
friday
night.
This
past
summer
I
was
riding
a
bike
dressed
up
like
waldo,
giving
out.
I
love
bay
city
details
to
people
eating
out
on
the
street.
U
I
was
stopped
by
a
group
of
people
sitting
at
a
table
in
front
of
mulligans
and,
as
I
was
giving
them
stickers,
I
asked
them
where
they
were
from
we're
all
from
the
u.p.
They
said
they
had
never
been
to
bay
city
before
deciding
to
drive
down
to
check
it
out
on
a
whim.
They
saw
people
in
the
streets
busy,
restaurants,
music
and
a
strange
fellow
having
fun
dressed
up
like
waldo
handing
out
free
stuff.
U
This
is
just
the
coolest
city.
They
said
we
are
coming
back.
Connections
like
that
are
what
creates
people
who
will
visit
bay
county
over
and
over
and
over
again
as
tourists,
customers
and
those
looking
for
a
new
home.
It
creates
a
sense
of
ownership
in
our
own
citizens,
giving
them
the
ability
to
craft
and
change
their
cities,
showing
them
that
they
are
part
of
a
community
able
and
willing
to
adapt
to
their
needs
and
desires.
U
A
So
so
you
all
have
you
all
have
I
the
proposal
in
front
of
you
except
I
didn't
get
one,
but
that's
okay
me
at
the
end
they
get
one,
but
so
this
we're
not
going
to
do
anything
with
this
right
now
anyways,
but
my
qu.
My
question
would
be.
Would
you
like
these
guys
to
come
back
next
week,
because
I
think
we
have
the
board
main
extra
day?
Yes
and
answer
any
questions
you
might
develop
over
the
next
week?
Would
that
be
a
good
idea?
D
D
A
A
A
It's
fine
yep.
We
can
do
it,
so
you
guys
come
back
next
week
and
we'll
if
there's
any
questions
about
what
you,
what
you're
trying
to
do.
I
know
it's
a
little
different
than
it's
a
little
different
than
what
other
people
are
asking.
I
I
think
so
we'd
be
happy
to
have
you
back
the
next
tuesday
after
we
have
a
personnel
meeting
first
and
then
forever
board
meeting,
so
it
won't
be
too
long.
Yes,
sir,
mr
mr
krieger.
A
A
P
A
P
P
D
D
W
D
D
P
P
P
P
I
P
A
A
Q
Thank
you,
mr
chairman.
I'll,
be
brief.
It's
been
a
very
informative
meeting.
I
think
a
lot
of
important
discussion
and
input
here
today
to
the
commissioner
of
conan's
point
and
others
we
have.
I
still
continue
to
be
approached
about
our
funding
and
so
I'll
submit
that
to
all
of
you.
I
know
we
have
a
request
and
I
think
they'd
like
to
peer
before
the
board,
to
make
their
case
for
the
firefighter
museum,
which
should
be
relocated
from
bangor
township
down
to
downtown
bay
city
at
a
site
there
and
then
also.
Q
What
else
is
I
think,
the
firefighter
museum
and
of
and
well
we
have
several.
We
have
several
other
requests
and
oh
yeah
santa
claus
house
for
mary,
I
don't
thank
you
amber
marietta
is
an
icon
in
the
community
and
we
all
remember
nate
doan,
mr
santa
claus
from
bay
county,
and
they
also
have
been
impacted
by
colvid
and
the
challenge
of
fundraising
to
keep
that
going.
So
I
know
that
at
some
point
the
santa
claus
house
people
would
like
to
also
approach
the
board
to
see
what
what
help
they
might
be
able
to
secure.
A
X
X
X
X
I
think
the
way
that
it
was
last
referred
was
was.
It
was
referred
back
to
corp,
council
and
administration,
and
when
I
had
a
contract
completed,
I
would
board
it
to
the
board
and
at
that
point
in
time
after
the
board
received
it,
it
would
be
that
it
would
be
brought
back
up
as
a
referred
motion,
so
it
would
be
back
as
the
original
motion.
D
Thank
you.
We
there's
been
some
debate
or
discussion
on
this
for
several
months
and
we've
heard
today
various
proposals
on
businesses
that
are
hurting
and
there's
a
number
of
businesses
within
the
service
industry
and
instead
of
picking
and
choosing
who
gets
help
and
who
don't
get
help.
This
particular
proposal
would
provide
relief
for
every
business
that
has
a
food
food
license
and
it
would
be
restaurants
bars.
D
It
would
be
non-profits,
it
would
be
churches
all
those
folks
over
the
last
two
years
have
paid
their
their
licenses
yet
operated,
either
with
everything
being
shut
down
or
take
out
only
or
25
or
50
percent.
So
to
me
it
would
be
a
way
to
show
all
those
businesses
that
there's
something
that
we
can
do
for
everybody.
Everybody
gets
something
and
those
licenses
go
from
three
four:
five:
six
seven
hundred
dollars.
I
know-
and-
and
you
know
I've
got
a
business,
but
it
doesn't
pertain
to
me.
I
got
my
check
in
my
pocket.
D
I
don't
need
it,
but
listening
to
all
the
folks
that
were
here
and
gave
proposals,
there's
a
lot
of
businesses
that
do
need
it.
So
this
is
in
no
way
benefits
me,
but
it
it
would
benefit
everybody,
because
I
know
you
know
when
I
get
it,
they
send
me
a
bill
on
january
whenever
and
it's
450,
you
know
this
way,
we'll
send
them
a
letter
saying
you
know,
because
of
what
you've
endured
the
last
two
years,
we're
going
to
take
care
of
it.
D
For
you,
I'm
sure
it's
going
to
help
a
lot
of
people
out,
and
I
think
it's
something
the
least
that
we
can
do
to
show
these
folks
that
we
understand
what
they've
gone
through,
and
we
want
to
do
something
that
we
can
to
help
them
so
and
those
dollars
are
coming
out
of
general
fund
because
of
the
oh.
I
guess
it
would
be.
D
You
know
if
you
have
300
and
some
licenses
and
the
reporting
for
arpa
would
be
very
time
consuming
instead
of
going
through
arpa,
which
it
does
qualify
for,
we
were
going
to
take
it
from
the
general
fund
and
let
those
businesses
know
that
we're
behind
that
as
well.
All
of
those
businesses
within
that
service
industry.
A
D
My
proposal,
jan
okay,
if
it's
350.,
you
tell
those
the
business,
you
don't
have
to
pay
anything
we're
going
to
send
whatever
portion
of
that.
350
goes
to
the
state,
we're
going
to
send
that
to
them,
whether
we
cut
it
in
one
lump
sum
or
all:
300
businesses
pay,
350
and
25
of
that
goes
to
the
state.
So
we
understand
how
that
works,
we're
going
to
give
them
relief
on
it
all
and
then
we're
going
to
send
to
the
state
what
is
due
to
the
state?
Okay,
that's!
W
X
X
X
X
So
I
I
guess
I
run
into
the
same
question
of.
Is
this
considered
a
donation
if
we're
waiving
a
fee
to
a
for-profit
business
and
whether
or
not
that
would
be
a
lawful
use
of
general
fund
dollars
as
opposed
to
arpa
dollars?
I
think
you
could
obviously
very
clearly
make
an
argument
that
it
would
be
an
appropriate
use
of
our
funds
dollars.
P
Yeah,
I
have
a
question
so
I
can
certainly
appreciate
our
desire
to
help
small
business
and
we
have
other
small
businesses
that
were
completely
shut
down.
We
had
the
motels,
it
comes
to
mind
right
away:
motels
gyms
movie
theaters,
so
we're
singling
out
one
particular
industry,
but
we
have
multiple
industries
that
operate
in
bay
county
that
were
also
severely
affected.
I
Mr
creator,
thank
you,
so
we
just
listened
to
pay
future
come
in
and
talk
about
them
wanting
two
million
dollars
from
us
or
20
million
dollars
or
whatever
the
number
was,
and
they
will
address
that
section
of
the
industry
that's
been
affected.
I
believe
that
we're
not
addressing
them.
It's
just
that
in
the
food
service
industry
for
the
last
two
years,
they've
been
like
everyone
else
greatly
affected,
and
I
just
think
it's
time
for
us
to
show
these
businesses
that
there's
concern
by
the
board
to
lend
a
helping
hand.
So.
A
D
All
hotels
are
if
they
had
a
some
sort
of
a
fee,
they
had
to
pay
and
we
should
provide
it
to
them
if
they
didn't
they're
not
out
anything.
These
businesses
in
the
service
industry
were
paying
for
licenses.
They
weren't
able
to
use.
So
it's
only
the
right
thing
to
do
is
to
let
them
know
that
we
care
about
them.
We
understand
over
the
last
couple
years
that
industry
has
been
hit
hardest,
that
we
want
to
do
something
for
them.
Can
we
do
something
for
everybody?
D
I
I
don't
know,
but
you
got
a
whole
lump
sum
of
folks
here,
300
some
folks
that
we
can
do
something
for
now
now.
Are
we
going
to
look
at
the
arpa
dollars
and
say:
we've
got
15
million
left
well.
Are
we
gonna
hit
everybody?
Are
we
gonna,
take
every
business
or
are
we
just
gonna,
take
pick
and
choose
who
comes
in
here
and
wants
money
for
whatever
reason,
there's
gonna
be
other
people
that
aren't
going
to
be
represented.
That
aren't
going
to
get
anything.
Should
we
just
say?
Well,
we
can't
do
that.
D
A
D
D
But
where
was
I
going
with
that?
No,
I
just
think
hey.
You
know
we
got
something
here,
it's
pretty
easy.
You
help
people
and-
and
I
don't
know
who
else
has
been
hurt.
You
know
I
know
that
industry
has
been
hurt
because
that's
all
you
see
on
tv
they're
looking
to
you,
know,
you're
reading
the
detroit
paper.
Those
businesses
are
dropping
like
flies,
so
can
we
do
something?
We
should
do
something?
It's
only
the
right
thing
to
do.
They
paid
for
something
they
weren't
able
to
use
and
we
can
make
that
decision.
D
Provide
them
to
be
successful
in
the
future,
and
probably
you
know
it
doesn't
guarantee
that,
but
it
shows
that
we
care
and
that's
our
role
is
to
care
about
people
in
our
district
care
about
the
businesses
that
have
been
affected
by
this,
and
I
don't
know
why.
If
a
commissioner
brought
a
resolution
up,
it
could
not
be
adopted
today.
I
just
don't
remember
that
ever
somebody
or
amber
you
said
something
about
the
front
of
the
agenda
has
got
something
I
don't
see
anything
on
here
that
we
have
to.
X
The
question
was
asked
whether
or
not
if
it
was
brought
on
the
agenda
as
a
motion
to
receive,
or
sorry
excuse
me
to
discuss,
as
opposed
to
a
motion
to
vote
on
whether
or
not
it
was
allowed
under
article
10,
section
4
of
the
board
rules
regarding
agenda.
It
does
state
that
anytime,
something
new
is
brought
up
on
the
agenda
that
wasn't
submitted
in
that
form
by
the
designated
deadline.
X
You
are
required,
if
approved
by
a
majority
of
the
elected
commissioners
present
in
voting.
If
you
have
that
number
of
votes
to
bring
it
up
for
a
vote,
then
you
can
do
that,
but
you
would
have
to
have
a
vote
to
consider
it
for
something
other
than
what
was
brought
up
on
the
agenda.
So
the
motion
would
have
to
be.
I
move
that
we
allow
a
new
motion
to
consider
a
vote
on
this
issue.
You
vote
on
that
motion.
X
D
X
A
Yeah
and
I
and
for
me
I
would
say
that
I
like
to
I
like
to
think
about
stuff
for
a
little
bit.
You
know
we
just
found
out
what
it
would
cut.
We
had
no
idea
what
what
the
price
was
on
it
today
and
I
think
we
have
no
information
about
what
the
what
the
what
the
city
is
doing
you
know
for
with
it,
for
their
people
there's
just
a
little
bit
out
there
yet
for
me,.
Q
You
know
I
received
a
lot
of
calls,
especially
from
christian
schools
and
others
that
have
food
service
even
just
serving
pizza,
and
they
were
very,
they
were
shut
down
and
they
were
very
resentful
of
the
fact
they
had
to
pay
the
health
department
to
come
out
and
even
though
their
operations
weren't
weren't
in
service,
they
still
had
to
pay
that
I
think
it'd
be
a
small
amount
of
money
out
of
the
general
fund.
It
would
make
it
much
easier
to
send
that
signal
that
we
care
about
every
business.
Q
Q
You
know
casting
dispersions
on
any
group,
but
women-owned
businesses,
minority-owned
businesses
and
veteran-owned
businesses
qualified,
but
white
male-owned
businesses
didn't
get
anything
of
the
federal
money,
so
there
is
some
resentment
out
there
and
I
think
if
we
took
an
approach
that
everybody
got
a
little
bit
of
relief,
it
would
be
symbolic,
I
think,
of
the
county
showing
our
concern
for
each
and
every
small
business
and
and
food
service
provider
in
the
county.
I
wouldn't
have
a
problem
with
it,
but
of
course
it's
up
to
the
board
so.
A
A
P
Right,
I
don't
either
I
don't.
I
personally
don't
see
we're
waiting
a
week.
It's
a
problem,
we're
back
to
making
decisions
on
the
same
day
we
hear
something,
and
I
personally
think
we
need
a
process.
I've
been
kind
of
adamant
about
that
to
review
all
of
this
it
we
don't
want
it
to
become
projects.
We
wanted
to
be
part
of
an
overall
plan,
and
that
was
my
understanding.
So
I
don't
see
the
necessity
of
today.
J
Commissioner,
so
I
don't
know
if
it's
allowed
to
refer
to
administration
to
bring
back
next
week
since
there's
not
a
formal
resolution
that
which
we
haven't
voted
on.
So
there
is
a
motion.
Yeah
there
is
another.
Should
the
motion
do
yeah
yep,
so
I
would
make
the
motion
to
refer
to
administration
to
bring
back
that
week.
P
B
P
B
A
B
J
B
J
I
A
E
I'm
going
to
do
this
until
we
get
to
the
actual
day,
so
garbage
athletic
association
is
holding
their
annual
fundraiser
dinner
a
night
at
the
races
fingers
crossed.
It
will
actually
happen
march
5th
2022
at
the
grand
tickets
are
50
each
with
as
dinner
open
bar
and
such
there
are
still
opportunities
for
you
to
be
able
to
sponsor
in
the
event
or
even
get
your
name
in
the
program.
So
there's
different
little
blocks
that
you
can
kind
of
put
in
there.
You
can
sponsor
part
of
the
race
you
can
sponsor
a
horse.
E
D
I
was
thinking
a
little
bit.
You
know
because
there's
a
lot
of
discussion
going
on
and
what
commissioner
fox
said.
This
isn't
part
of
arpa.
This
is
coming
from
the
general
fund,
so
this
has
nothing
to
do
with
the
overall
plan
for
the
5
million
that
we
got
for
this
year
to
spend.
This
was
coming
from
general
fund
dollars
to
help
businesses
in
your
district.
D
In
my
district
and
all
those
businesses
that
have
been
hurting,
it
would
be
nice
that
they
would
get,
as
jim
said,
a
little
bit
of
recognition
that
we
do
understand
what
they've
been
through.
So
it's
nothing
to
do
with
arpa.
You
can't
just
say
we're
putting
that
all
together
for
the
plan,
because
it's
coming
from
the
general
fund.
J
A
Okay,
the
announcer,
let's
see
