Description
The American Rescue Plan Act Working Group kicked off their first meeting on Feb. 28, 2022.
A
Thank
you,
so
thank
you
amy.
So
what
we're
gonna
do
is
very
briefly.
Each
group
is
going
to
have
about
five
minutes
to
just
do
a
report
out
and
tell
us
how
things
are
going
what's
going
on
with
your
group
and
then
after
that,
we're
going
to
have
just
a
little
bit
of
time.
If
there's
any
outstanding
questions,
so
I
thought
we
would
start
with
economic
challenges.
So
is
one
of
the
co-chairs
available
or
someone
else
who'd
like
to
just
report
out
and
let
us
know
the
progress
of
what's
going
on
with
your
group.
C
To
do
it?
Okay,
so
we
had
a
great
conversation
around
a
list
of
preliminary
ideas.
Susan
and
I
brought
five
or
six
ideas
to
the
group
as
a
starting
point
that
was
mined
from
the
list
that
leslie
went
through
that
list
that
was
created
from
feedback
from
phase
one
and
brainstorming
sessions
and
so
on
and
so
on,
and
so
we
from
that
list
brought
five
or
six
ideas
to
the
team,
and
then
the
team
spent
the
majority
of
the
time
adding
to
that
list.
C
C
A
D
Yes,
certainly
so
in
our
group.
Similarly,
karen
and
I
you
know
put
together
for
the
presentation,
we
organized
kind
of
the
ideas
into
buckets
of
work,
so
we
identified
kind
of
five
major
areas
of
possible
actions.
We
could
take
and
then
kind
of
populated
those
buckets
with
some
of
the
the
very
specific
ideas
that
were
presented.
So
we
presented
that
to
our
group.
Had
some
discussion
focused
around
that
discussed
some
things
that
would
need
to
be
changed.
D
D
A
A
E
It
was
a
an
amazing,
wonderful
conversation
and
we're
going
to
work
as
homework
in
prioritizing
them
and
coming
up
with
some
specific
ideas
and
coming
back
at
the
next
meeting
to
start
digging
into
making
them
transformational
and
sustainable
and
equitable,
and
hopefully
we
can
make
that
all
get
together
concisely.
It's
a
great
conversation,
though,.
A
A
B
E
Right,
we
will
be
sending
out
homework
by
the
end
of
this
week.
If
you
want
it
sent
to
a
different
address.
Just
let
us
know,
and
if
not
you
know
you
can
catch
up
since
we
haven't
really
set
it
all
up.
We
don't
know
what
those
little
deadlines
and
things
will
be
so
it
may
be
that
everything
works
out
perfect.
But
if
you
want
us
somewhere
different,
so
you
can
jump
in
earlier.
Just
let
us
know.
G
G
Absolutely
I
can
give
you
kind
of
the
big
view
and
then
your
co-leads,
you
know
it's
truthfully
up
to
them,
but
by
the
third
meeting.
We
hope
that
you
will
reach
one
to
three
ideas
of
recommendations,
approximately
how
much
you
would
like
invested
in
them.
The
reasons
why
who
are
the
potential
stakeholders
that
might
be
involved
or
experts
that
you
might
want
to
talk
to?
G
We
know
that
you
won't
have
all
the
information
just
re-meeting,
but
want
to
give
enough.
Let's
say
enough
of
a
jumping-off
point
for
the
boulder
staff
to
be
able
to
jump
in
and
then
take
it
to
the
place
where
it
will
need
to
be
for
the
presentation
to
be
occ,
and
everyone
is
invited
to
that
presentation.
G
G
F
I
I'll
just
jump
in
really
quick
and
similarly
thank
you
all,
and
I
want
to
just
this
is
this-
is
a
lot
of
work,
especially
on
virtual
to
not
be
able
to
be
in
person
and
rub
elbows
and
compare
post-it
notes.
It's
just
not
the
same,
and
yet
this
is
really
vital
work,
and
so
I
just
want
to
say
thank
you.
I
And
so
we
need
to
get
out
of
the
mindset,
because
we
are
not
talking
about
the
last
crumbs
here.
We
have
together
an
opportunity
to
do
transformative
change
and
to
respond
in
big
ways.
So
that's
hard
for
a
lot
of
us,
because
we're
used
to
going
after
a
grant
and
all
these
organizations
on
the
screen
could
possibly
be
fighting
for
the
same
grants
in
boulder
county.
So,
let's
really
burst
in
with
that.
I
What
have
we
not
done
before?
What
haven't
we
tried?
We
have
programs,
we
have
platforms,
we
have
partnerships,
and
this
is
an
opportunity
to
really
challenge
the
way
that
it's
always
been
done
and
I'm
excited
for
all
of
you
to
be
part
of
this
conversation
to
bring
in
some
of
your
networks
and
the
research
you're.
Seeing
so
thank
you.
Thank
you.
It's
really
appreciated
and
it's
an
exciting
opportunity
for
all
of
us.
G
J
Night,
I
just
want
to
give
a
sorry
just
a
quick
clarification,
so
everyone
is
aware
of
when
the
some
of
these
follow-ups
will
come
out,
because
I
realized
the
cloud
recording
it
says
does
take
double
the
time
of
the
meeting
to
process.
So
it's
going
to
be
a
little
a
little
while,
and
so
you
can
expect
tomorrow
to
start
seeing
those
meeting
notes
those
follow-ups
things
like
that,
but
for
now
just
enjoy
the
rest
your
evening
and
take
a
break
please
from
a
computer
and
rest
your
eyes.
