A
B
C
Kelly
veit:,
so
let's
go
ahead
and
dive
in
with
a
quick,
agenda.,
recap.
um!.
So
first
and
foremost,
our
virtual
meeting
guidelines
as
a
reminder,
members
of
the
public
are
invited
to
today's
meeting.
however,.
This
is
not
a
public
hearing.,
so
we
do
ask
the
members
of
the
public
in
attendance,
their
microphones
and
their
cameras.
Off..
If
you
do
have
pressing
comments,
questions,
concerns,,
you
are
welcome
to
add
them
to
the
chat.
however,.
They
will
not
be
followed
up
in
the
course
of
today's
conversation
by.
C
C
kelly
veit:,
so
our
agenda
for
today
we're
going
to
start
with
a
milestone
calendar
which
is
really
to
just
sort
of
give
a
snapshot
of
what
we
know
in
terms
of
this
fun
distribution,
process,
kind
of
the
the
phones
of
what
we've
identified
in
this
first
year
as
our
major
milestones,
and
then
a
little
bit
more
of
the
processes
between
those
milestones.
C
Kelly
veit:,
I
will
be
talking
about
the
responses
that
we
received
from
a
recent
request
for
proposal
that
we
put
out
for
facilitation
and
evaluation
assistance..
I
will
so
switch
gears
and
robin
all
be
meeting
us
through
a
conversation
about
resource
distribution.,
um.
primarily,,
whether
there
are
specific
pros
cons
or
priorities
around
doing
a
direct
funding
cycle
versus
a
competitive
bid
cycle
in
this.
next
round.
We'll
also
be
talking
about
a
wastewater
fennel
project,,
which
was
a
priority
project.
C
C
Kelly
veit:
so
that
said,
first
up
our
annual
timeline.
and
really
this
is
just
an
acknowledgment
that
you
know,.
In
our
first
year,
there
was
kind
of
a
a
strong
learning
curve..
We
were
really
trying
to
figure
out
what
our
major
milestones
were,.
What
our
due
dates
were
back
to
the
state.,
what
our
processes
that
work
back
to
the
state
were
and
how
to
sort
of
fold
in
our
process
of
identifying
priorities
and
relevant
programming
across
that
that
annual
timeline.,
and
so
this
is
just
to
sort
of.
C
Kelly
veit:
provide
the
group
a
little
bit
of
an
understanding
of
what
we've
determined
or
kind
of
the
guide
posts
along
the
way..
We
do
know
our
general
funding
timeline.
uh,,
within
that
we
have
a
lot
of
process
pieces
that
we're
still
really
trying
to
figure
out
that
can
sort
of
shift
our
our
timeline
from
when
we
know
we
have
funds
to,
when
they
actually
land
in
that
in
the
hands
of
some
of
the
programs
that
are
funded..
C
C
Kelly
veit:,
the
request
for
proposal
was
put
out
for
assistance
in
helping
to
facilitate
that
process.
Our
funding
process.
we're
going
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
today
about
direct
versus
competitive
funding
processes,
and
they
do
have
different
corresponding
lengths
of
time.,
so
making
one
of
those
decisions
early
could
send
kind
of
our
subsequent
timeline
in
one
of
two
different
directions,.
One
hundred
and
fifty.
C
Kelly
veit:,
we
we
know
that
we
do
want
to
hold
space
for
priorities
that
are
designated
directly
by
a
county
or
municipality
leadership.
um!,
and
so
what
does
it
look
like
to
really
integrate
those
priorities
to
sort
of
the
broader
process,
that's
underway
within
our
operations,
group,
and
some
of
the
community
processes
that
will
be
underway
with
this.
ah.,
rfp.
effort,.
C
Kelly
veit:
full
settlement
amounts
are
constantly
sort
of
shifting,,
and
so
we
do
have
a
understanding
of
our
baseline
of
funds
that
are
due
to
the
region
on
an
annual
basis.
however,,
there's
a
little
bit
of
flex
in
those
dollars,.
And
if
you
can
recall
all
of
the
municipalities,
we're
given
an
opportunity
to
opt
in,
and
which
means
pool..
Their
funds
is
the
regional
share,
which
then
takes
that
regional
share
number
up,
or
they
have
the
option
to
opt
out
and
keep
their
local
share
of
dollars,,
which
would
bring
that
regional.
C
Kelly
veit:
pool
of
dollars,
down.,
that
is
an
annual
decision
that
municipalities
can
make
on
an
ongoing,
basis.
and
so,
you
know,.
While
we
do
have
that
baseline
of
funds
that
we
know
are
coming
to
the
region.,
there's
a
little
bit
of
wiggle
room
in
each
direction
that
we're
just
trying
to
plan
around
as
we're
in
real
time,,
also
figuring
out
our
priorities
and
programs,.
C
Kelly
veit:
and
then
our
structure
for
phasing
in
and
out
in
programs.,
so
we've
heard
loud
and
clear
from
the
regional
council
in
the
past
that
we,,
you
know
we're
concerned
about
sustainability..
We
want
to
make
sure
that
any
of
the
programs
we
bring
on
are
not
planning
on
these
dollars
to
be
sustained
on
an
on
one
basis,
and
that,,
you
know,.
C
Kelly
veit:
out
or
sunset
programs
that
have
funding
today.,
but
maybe
in
another
year
or
two
might
not
be
the
most
appropriate
fit,
either
because
they've
reached
their
goals.
or
maybe
they
don't
really
align
with
the
network
of
strategies
that
we
have,.
Whatever
those
reasons
might
be,
just
allowing
a
mechanism
to
really
move
programs
off
of
that
funding.
Street.
C
C
Kelly
veit:
uh.,
so
we
will
be
aware
of
that
baseline,
regional
share
of
dollars.
and
then
every
december.
We
need
to
submit
our
plan
to
coach
the
ag's
office
at
the
state
level,
to
say
how
we
intend
to
use
those
dollars..
So
if
you
can
recall
from
this
year's
process,,
that
was
where
we
might
in
that
cost
system
online
and
we
allocated
dollars
across
three
different
categories..
So
that
would
be
done
every
december.
But
the
slight
caveat
there
being
that
we
do
have
an
amendment
period
in
march.
C
Kelly
veit:
the
following
march
to
sort
of
shift
some
of
those
dollars
among
the
different
categories,
or
if
we
had
decided
in
december
to
not
draw
down
all
of
our
dollars
in
one
month
sum,
and
we
actually
saved
some..
We
can
go
back
in
that
march
amendment
period
and
say,
okay,
now,.
We
we
have
an
an
additional
plan
to
allocate
some
of
those
remaining
dollars..
So
that's
sort
of
the
wiggle
room,
that's
allowed
until
march
of
every
year.
C
Kelly
veit:,
so
within
those
milestones
we
have
a
couple
of
priority
processes,,
some
of
which
I've
already
mentioned
in
that
last
slide
before
september,.
When
we
really
have
an
understanding
of
that
dollar
amount,,
we
really
want
to
have
our
strategic
priorities
set
so
that
we're
ready
to
go..
You
know,
exactly.,
you
know
how
we
want
to
dedicate
these
dollars,,
whatever
that
number
might
be.
C
C
Kelly
veit:
also
an
answer
to
the
question
of
cleaning
all
of
our
funds..
So
this
is
really
something
that
allows
us
a
bit
of
strategic
legal
room
in
that
we
can
say,
you
know,.
Maybe
we
want
to
draw
down
x
number
of
dollars,
but
keep
certain
dollars
to
sort
of
move
and
sort
of
revisit
our
planning
process
at
a
later
day
by
that
march,
period.
uh,,
and
so
that's
a
bit
of
a
strategy
there.
we
could
also,
as
dollars
roll
into
subsequent
years.
That
allows
us
the
opportunity
to
just
say,.
C
Kelly
veit:
to
pull
down
all
of
our
dollars
this
year,
and
we
actually
want
to
put,.
You
know
more
in
the
pop
for
next
year,
and
have
a
bigger,,
broader
plan
that
brings
on,
you
know,
more
programming
in
a
subsequent
year.,
so
that
allows
us
that
that
little
bit
of
flex
and
wiggle
room
in
our
strategy.
C
Kelly
veit:,
similarly
annual
or
multi-year
contracts.,
so
this
year
we
did
make
the
decision
to
go
with
annual
contracts.
those
twenty-five.
She
already
programs,
are
receiving
their
funds
on
an
annual
basis.
um!,
but
just
knowing,
and
seeing
now
how
much
process
pieces.
capacity
has
sort
of
gone
into
this..
It
might
make
more
sense
for
everyone's
bandwidth,
and
for
the
process
pieces
to
kind
of
play
out
over
a
longer
part.,
and
so
maybe
it
makes
sense
for
us
to
award
multiple
year
contracts,.
Instead
of
being
more
contracts.
C
Kelly
veit:
in
december,,
submitting
the
plan,
having
the
plan
approved,
and
really
beginning
that
contracting
process
with
the
county,
and
then
in
quarter.
One
really.
The
process
pieces
become
a
little
bit
more
internal
and
staff
oriented,,
so
the
funds
will
be
distributed,
and
then
processes
need
to
be
in
place
for
the
ongoing
reporting
elements
back
to
the
county
from
recipient
programs
as
well
as
expenditure
reporting.
C
Kelly
veit:,
so
this
is
a
little
bit
just
kind
of
an
fyi
to
provide
some
structure
on
what
has
at
times
seemed
a
little
bit,.
You
know,
up
in
the
air
in
terms
of
structure,
this
process
ah,
in
year,
one
and
so
no
real
request
for
any
specific
questions
here.,
but
of
course,.
If
there's.
A
D
Nuria
rivera
vandermyden:,
I'm
happy
to
jump
in
with
a
quick,
comment,
and
just
wanted
to
say
kelly.
I
just
really
appreciate
the
notion
of
multi-year
contracts,
because
it
is
hard
for
programs
to
get
up
and
running
and
off
the
ground
with
enough
data
to
support
it
in
an
annual
process,
and
as
long
as
there's
some
evaluation
along
the
way,.
I
think
that's
a
really
smart.
D
Nuria
rivera
vandermyden:
suggestion,,
as
as
we're
continuing
to
move
forward.
C
C
Kelly
veit:
that
could
be
really
rewarding
in
terms
of
capacity
and
bandwidth,,
because
you
have
the
ability
to
really
review
these
in
a
more
meaningful
way
and
sort
of
as
you're
moving
forward.
There's
not
just
a
a
constant
new
timeline
kind
of
upon
you,
already.,
so
um,
that
was.
that's
good
to
hear
some
support
for
that.
yeah,.
C
Lexi
nolen:
kelly,
just
a
little
a
question
for
clarification.
I'm:
sorry,
claire..
Do
you
want
to
go
first?.
E
C
Kelly
veit:
yeah.
and
we
are
going
to
have
conversations
about
kind
of
the
the
pros
and
cons
of
competitive
versus
direct,
so
where
it
would
fit
in
the
timeline..
We
do
know
that
competitive
bid
process
would
take
longer
than
our
direct
funding
process
that
we
did
in
this
round,.
So
we
would
have
to
back
that
up
before
september,
to
say,
you
know,
okay,.
We
have
to
put
out
rfps,,
which
means
that
we're
putting
out
our
keys..
Then
we
have
to
move
those,.
C
C
A
Claire
levy:
yeah,,
my
my
question
was
around
developing
the
strategic
priorities,
and
having
that
ready
is
that?.
Are
we
expecting
that
work
to
primarily
be
done
by
the
working.
C
Kelly
veit:,
so
in
my
mind
it's
a
full.
and
so,
um,.
You
know,
we're
really
anxious
to
get
this
facilitator
kind
of
on
board,
and
our
timeline
is
really
hoping
to
have
them
on
board
and
do
an
initial
kind
of
kick
off
with
staff
and
the
operation
group.-
by
end
of
april
or
early
may,
and
they're
really
going
to
help
us
facilitate
that
process.
C
B
B
C
C
C
C
C
Kelly
veit:,
we
received
six
responses.
um,,
so
they're
they're
listed
here..
I
thought
I
hyperlinked
them
as
well
in
case
folks,
wanted
to
to
review
these
slides,
and
maybe
dig
around
to
learn
a
little
bit
more
about
the
organizations.,
but
I'm
happy
to
get
those
links
to
folks.
If
they're
interested.
C
Kelly
veit:
uh,-
and
this
was
the
initial
scoring
criteria
that
we
weighted
these
agencies
against.,
so
um,,
you
know
we
had
all
of
these
weights
are
actually
made
it
the
exact
same
amount
in
the
rfp..
This
is
the
exact
scoring
matrix
that
included
in
that
document.,
but
we
did
have
an
exercise
recently
in
our
operations,
group,
just
to
say
just
a
quick
mental
meter,,
you
know,,
checking
the
temperature
to
say,
are
any
of
these
a
higher
criteria
and
priority
than
others.
C
Kelly
veit:
should
some
of
the
scoring
be
close
between
our
finalists,,
just
knowing
the
sort
of
insights
from
the
operations
group
to
say,
you
know,.
This
is
really
a
way
more
important
criteria
to
us
than
perhaps
this
other
element.
and
so,,
probably
no
surprise..
The
waiting
came
out
that,,
providing
similar
facilitation
services
and
planning
services
for
those
talk
to
were
a
top
priority
to
the
operations
group
members,
and
the
lowest
priority.
Was
the
budget
based
on
this.,
so
again.,
just
sort
of.
C
C
Kelly
veit:,
so
I'm
going
to
talk
about
the
pros
and
cons
that
we
saw
come
out
of
our
applications,
uh,
really
what
made
certain
applications
stronger
for
us
than
others..
This
is
not
about
one
particular
organization.
again,.
This
is
really
generalized
pros
and
cons
of
what
we
saw.
C
Kelly
veit:
um..
In
our
stronger
responses
to
the
application,
we
saw
a
strong
application
of
equity,
principles,
strong
emphasis
on
utilizing
data
to
ensure
inclusion
across
all
impacted
populations.
so.
um,.
You
know,
organizations,
noting
that
they
need
to
look
at
xyz
data
components
to
make
sure
that
they
have
the
right
folks
at
the
table
from
those
most
impacted.
Communities.
C
Kelly
veit:
um.
strong
applicants
also
mentioned
really
granular
level
breakdowns
of
the
facilitation
process.,
how
they
would
approach
it.,
specific
tools..
They
would
use
the
specific
iterative
process
methodology.
some
even
mentioned
or,
excuse,
me,
outlined
an
exact
meeting
timeline
and
the
relevant
objectives
backing
out
of
that,.
You
know,
september
december
timeline
that
I
just
mentioned
in
terms
of
when
we
need
to
have
our
plan
into
state,
backing
out
of
that,
and
notating.
What
exactly.
C
C
Kelly
veit:
um,
and
then
also
strong,
applicants
mentioned
how
they
would
engage
across
particular
barriers
and
access
issues
for
all
populations.,
so
some
spoke
to
how
they
would
tackle
the
digital
divide
and
language
barriers,
off
offering
translation,,
services,
and
community
convenience,,
and
also
an
acknowledgment
of
the
power
dynamics
that
would
sort
of
be
at
play
within
some
of
these
conversations
and
their
methods
to
sort
of
approach
that,
from
the
very
very
beginning,
to
break
down
this
power
dynamics.
C
Kelly
veit:,
some
of
the
cons
we
saw
across
applications.
um,.
Unfortunately
none.
there
was
one
agency
that
was
local.
but
um,.
The
rest
were
out
of
state
um,,
which
you
know
we
thought
was
a
little
bit
of
a
bummer,
and
we
did
want
to
see,,
especially
because
there's
going
to
be
so
much
community
engagement
in
this
process.,
we
did
want
to
see
that
local
uh,,
you
know,
connectivity
to
the
the
players
in
the
communities
within
our
region.
C
C
C
Kelly
veit:
and
then
specifically,.
We
saw
that
not
many
had
strong
examples
of
how
they
would
utilize
data..
A
lot
of
them
mentioned
what
data
sources.
They
would
mean
on.
ah,,
but
not
how
that
would
be
integrated,,
especially
when
it
came
to
evaluating
programs.
C
C
Kelly
veit:
staff
did
take
the
first
sort
of
run
through
of
these
six
or
a
few
responses,,
and
we're
able
to
unanimously
agree
that
two
of
the
agencies
were
not
as
strong
as
the
others.
um!,
so
those
two
were
eliminated..
Those
four
remaining
agencies
were
brought
forward
to
the
operations
group.
In
summary,
format,
so
wanted
to
note
that
what
the
operations
group
saw.
C
Kelly
veit:
um,
at
this
time,
there's
no
official
ops
group
recommendation..
So
what
we
did
identify
in
our
meeting
on
thursday
was
the
questions
that
members
would
like
to
see
forwarded
to
an
additional
round
of
interviews
for
these
final
agencies,
and
then
have
opsgroup,,
provided
one
more
additional
opportunity
to
participate
in
sort
of
in
a
deeper
capacity
by
being
present
in
those
finalist
interviews,.
Should
they
should
they
want
to.
C
Kelly
veit:
that
in
our
in
our
meeting
on
thursday,
we
did
ask
the
the
obstacle
members..
What
are
the
questions
that
you'd
want
to
see?
these
organizations
expand
on
three
that
came
forward
loud
and
clear,
is,.
What's
their
what's
the
intention
for
local
presence?
so,,
as
you
heard
me,
say,,
none
of
them
are
local.
and
uh,.
You
know,.
In
that
same
way,
we
didn't
see
in
the
budgets
a
travel
line
included
in
many
of
our
non
local
agencies..
So
we
just
wanted
to
hear
the
voice.
C
C
Kelly
veit:
someone
pause
there
and
and
sort
of
put
the
same
question
out
to
to
regional
group
members
and
just
ask
if
there
was
specific
questions
or
additional
content
content
that
you
would
like
to
hear.
More
of
the
applicants
expand
upon
um,
and
just
sort
of
note
that
here,.
A
Claire
levy:,
just
the
question
jumping
out
at
me,
with
with
the
dirth
of
local
respondents,
is
whether
they're
intending.,
maybe
you
said
this.,
but
are
they
intending
to
do
most
of
this
done
digitally,
remotely
on
screen?.
C
A
D
nuria
rivera
vandermyden:.
I
have
concerns
about
that
as
well,,
although
I
think
that,
depending
on
what
their
response
is,,
I
think
they
can
overcome
that
if
they
are
planning
to
be
more
direct,,
I
think
all
virtual
is
going
to
be
a
problem.
as
as
we're
thinking
about
bridging
trust
with
potential
participants
and
the
engagement
that
is
anticipated.
D
Nuria
rivera
vandermyden:
so
with
that,,
I
think
the
the
staff
expertise,
not
just
in
the
similar
work,
but
frankly
in
in
in
relationship
to
relating
to,
and
incorporating
diverse
perspectives
from
a
variety
of
potential,
participants.
sort
of
the
equity
question
of.
D
D
B
C
C
B
B
B
Robin
bohannan:
barriers
to
access
a
partnership
with
the
county,
or
of.
C
Kelly
veit:
yeah,,
that's
a
great
point..
I
know
we
have
the
summary
of
those
questions
the
way
that
they
come
to
us.
they're
a
little
bit.
they're
randomized.
So
I
can't
tell
if
certain
questions
are
being
asked
all
from
one
agent,,
you
know..
If
there's
fifteen
questions,
I
can't
tell.,
if
fourteen
or
from
one
agency
and
one
from
another,
or
you
know,
from
all
over
the
place.,
but.
C
C
Kelly
veit:
are.
there
other
processes
you'd
like
to
see
in
place,
and
maybe
I'll,
just
also
open
up
to
that
last
question
on
staff
process
in
these
decisions
moving
forward.,
so
you
know,.
This
was
sort
of
our
first
round
of
trying
to
to
really
take
a
a
key
decision,
point
and
integrate
or
weave
together
the
process
of
staff
work,.
The
operations
group
feedback,,
the
regional
councils,
feedback
as
well.
what's,.
What's
standing
out
for
you
in
terms
of
what
worked
or
what
we
could
expand
on
in
subsequent
processes,.
A
A
A
C
Kelly
veit:
yeah,
and
I
think
that's
actually
a
great
question
for
the
operations
group
to
dive
into
as
well.
um,.
You
know,
I
think,
looking
at
just
the
way.
This
last
year
has
gone
kind
of
talking
through
that
milestone
calendar
earlier..
It's
been,,
you
know,
a
lot
of
the
targets
and
timelines
have
seen
so
up
and
down
and
kind
of
confusing
to
an
extent.
and,
of
course,
that's
just
kind
of
the
learning
curve
of
your
one..
But.
C
Kelly
veit:
um!,
I
do
really,,
you
know,,
acknowledge
that
it
would
be
great
to
have
in
our
strategic
framework
those
kind
of
on
and
off
france
of..
When
are
we
revisiting
certain
decisions?
and
what
mechanisms
do
we
have
in
place
to
make
this
an
ongoing
iterative
process
to
allow
for
that
natural
evolution??
That's
great.
thank
you.
C
C
D
C
B
B
B
Robin
bohannan:,
the
cons
of
that
in
terms
of
for
the
cons
of
the
competitive
process.
um.,
and
so
we
just
wanted
to
have
this
conversation
with
you
all,
and
I
just..
I
want
to
name
that.
B
B
B
B
Robin
bohannan:
for
staff
to
get
out,
as
well
as
agencies
to
respond
to
in
terms
of
contracting.
and
the
the
downside
of
that,
from
my
perspective,
is
that
you
don't
know
who's
out
there?.
That
might
be
a
really
key
plan.
B
Robin
bohannan:
or
a
disparately
impacted
group,
or
population
or
agency-
that's
not
not
often
invited
to
the
table.
um!
and,
as
we
just
talked
about.
B
B
B
D
D
D
D
D
D
Nuria
rivera
vandermyden:,
so
it
it
to
me.
it
just
kind
of
depends
on
what
the
projects
are,
and
I
feel
like
it's
going
to
be
a
little
bit
of
a
both.
and
because
I
don't
know
how
to
get
through
the
barriers
to
knowledge
and
the
invitation
and
the
transparency
aspect..
If
we
don't
do
some
of
the
competitive
process,.
F
Susan
caskey:
yeah,,
I
would.,
I
would
agree
with
what
nuria
said.
I
think,
of
both..
The
and
approach
is
important,.
I
think,
through
evaluation
and
outcomes,,
being
able
to
determine
if
we
want
to
scale
a
certain
program
feels
important,
and
we
wouldn't
necessarily
want
to
do
a
competitive
process
for
that.
F
F
F
F
B
F
Susan
caskey:-
and
this
is
a
little
bit,-
you
know,
a
little
bit
ahead,
too,,
but
just
would
want
to
also
talk
about
what,.
If
any
barriers,
the
team
is
seeing
to
contracting
because
of
insurance
requirements
or
things
like
that.,
so
we'd
want
to
make
sure
we're.
A
A
Claire
levy:
I'm,,
I'm
not
going
to
restate
all
of
that..
The
the
only
thing
I
wanted
to
add
here
is
that
the
amount
of
time
it
takes
to
complete
the
competitive
bidding
process
and
the
concern
for
me.
A
A
B
B
G
D
A
B
B
B
B
B
C
Kelly
veit:
no;
and
I
mean
I
see
all
of
the
the
benefits
that
folks
have
voiced
in
terms
of
needing
to
sort
of
know.
What's
working,,
what's
not?
um,,
you
know
what
are
the
agencies
that
we're
not
reaching.,
and
how
can
we
do
that
via
a
competitive
process?,
so
um,,
you
know
I
I
I
sort
of
agree
with
the
direction
that
the
board
is
going
in
terms
of
this
both,
and
flexibility..
C
Kelly
veit:
here
right,
now,
and
I
think,
in
terms
of
the
annual
cycles
versus
the
multiple
year
cycles..
One
other
thing
that
comes
to
mind
for
me
is
that's
really
going
to
be
guided
by
our
strategic
priorities
as
well
right?,
because
if
there
are
projects
that
are
specifically
aiming
to
move
the
needle
on
one
of
the
major
priorities
we
have,,
but
we
also
know
that
the
needle
onset
priority
can't
realistically
be
moved
in
an
annual
basis,.
You
know..
That's
all
the
more
reason
to
allow.
C
B
B
E
B
B
Kelly
veit:
no,-
this
is
this
is
great..
I
think
it's
in
my
mind
kind
of
pinging,
my
next
step
to
sort
of
map
this
out,
that
timeline
of
obviously
uh,,
all
of
us
coming
back
to
the
strategic
priorities
being
sort
of
the
foundation,
and
then
the
various
routes
that
we
can
kind
of.
Take
the
the
funding
process.
and
the
kind
of
annual
or
multi-
contracts
from
there.
So
this
is
super
helpful
for
me.
thank
you.
B
B
Robin
bohannan:
and
at
one
point
um!,
that
testing
was
done,
and
and
at
a
point
in
time
the
city
of
lewisville
had
the
highest
percentage
of
fentanyl
in
their
waste
work.
B
B
Robin
bohannan:
and
um!
there's
high
levels
due
to
other
drugs
being
laced
with
fentanyl.
B
B
Robin
bohannan:
and
before
we
go
there,,
I
know.,
let's
see.,
your
staff
has
been
very
engaged
in
this
conversation,
and
has
has
sort
of
made
some
really
important
points
that
I'd
like
the
board
to
hear.
B
Robin
bohannan:
before
we,
we
have
the
discussion.,
if
that's
okay,
with
you,
lexi.,
and
do
you
want
to
jump
in?,
because
I
really
do
want
to
hear
what
lexi
has
to
say,.
I
just
want
to
make
it
clear
that
that
this
has
not
been
identified
as
a
for
kind
of
commissioner's
interest.
this.
This
is
an
individual
commissioner
in
this.
E
E
E
E
E
E
E
Lexi
nolen:
to
implement
an
alternative
strategy
to
get
a
handle
on
where
we're
seeing.
use
that
relate
that
uses
a
tool
called
od
map.
E
E
E
E
Lexi
nolen:,
so
I'm
happy
to
explore
it
more.,
but
just
wanted
to
give
you
kind
of
that
background
around
kind
of
what
we
have
been
working,
on.
um,
and
why
we
see
it
as
an
advantage.
B
F
B
B
B
Robin
bohannan:
um,,
so
so
it's
just
there's
a
process
question
there
and
then
there's
a
specific
question
about
this
request
and
what
we
should
do.
and
again
I
I
recognize
that
you
don't
have
full
information
about
what
this
would
look
like,
and
we
can
certainly
get
that
and
bring
that
back
to
you.
F
F
A
Claire
levy:
and
I
just
wanted
to
point
out
that
miranda
put
put
an
observation
in
the
in
the
chat
about
the
personnel
it
would
take
from
each
of
the
municipalities
and
their
wastewater
treatment.
A
A
A
A
Claire
levy:
um,
yeah.,
so
I
think
maybe
we
still
have
some
questions
about
whether
this
would
be
useful,
and
hearing.
Lexi
say
that
there
they've
got
tools
in
place
that
that
may
actually.
A
E
Lexi
nolen:,
the
od.
map
will
identify
specific
places
where
overdoses
have
happened
where
naloxone
has
been
used.
it'll
give
you
counts,
like
person
case
numbers..
The
wastewater
testing
can't
waste
water
testing
can't
distinguish
between.
for
instance,
um,,
someone
who
has
urinated
out
fentanyl
from
hospital.
legitimate
hospital
use,
to.
ah,.
E
B
Lexi
nolen:,
so
the
od
map
is
focused
on
yeah
use
of
naloxone
tracking,
of
use,
of
naloxone
for
overdoses
or
cases
that
have
been
called
into
law
enforcement
or
other
sources
for
overdose
response.
E
E
Lexi
nolen:
granular
information.,
but
it
is
more
in
the
outcome
impact
of
overdoses
than
generally
use..
So
that's
a
good
distinguishing
characteristic
of
the
two
also,.
E
Lexi
nolen:
and
I
think
it's
a
really
good
question
about
whether
the
waste
water
testing
is
being
used
in
other
jurisdictions
for
fentanyl
testing..
I
think
we
could
learn
a
lot
from
that
about
um,,
whether
it
makes
sense
for
us
whether
it
would
give
us
additional
useful
information
or
not,
as
well.
As
you
know,
the
cost,.
D
D
D
Lexi
nolen:,
but
I
am
persuaded,
if
this
is
not
the
best
way
to
do
it,
to
do
something,
else,
and
would
be,.
I
think
your
question
clear
is
the
most
interesting
one.,
not
necessarily
for
this..
I
think
we
can
get
good
information
from
lexi.
you
and
your
teams,,
and
I
would
rely
on
your
expertise
about
how
you
think
we
should
go
about
it.,
but
I
am.
D
D
D
Nuria
rivera
vandermyden:,
where
does
that
come
from
right,,
is
it?.
I
don't
know
that
I,
as
a
board
member,,
unless
I
heard,
for
example,
today,
lexi
say,
we've
got
another
alternative
that
may
actually
be
more
useful
than
what
waste
water
testing
done,.
That
I
would
have
known
that
so
some
level
of.
D
Nuria
rivera
vandermyden:,
substantive
conversation,
or
a
little
bit
of
research
to
the
table,.
I
think,
helps
me
as
a
board
member,,
but
trying
to
make
sure
that
staff
hasn't
spent,.
You
know,
two
hundred
hours
on
that
question
is
important.,
so
the
process.
One
is
something
that
I
think
we
need
to
work.
Through.
B
Robin
bohannan:,
it's
robin
bohannan:
and
robin
bohannan:.
What
what
I'm?
What
I'm
hearing
before
we
go?
Into.
that
question
is
is,
and,
and
commissioner
stolen
did
give
us
some
resources
that
we
could
reach
out
to
to
get
some
of
these
questions
answered,,
and
so
I
think
it
wouldn't
take
a
lot
of
staff
time.
B
B
A
B
B
F
F
B
B
B
Robin
bohannan:
thoughts,
about,
and,
and
especially,
I
think,
we're
talking
about
um,.
B
B
D
Nuria
rivera
vandermyden:
I'll
say
that
the
city
has
one
additional
tool
that
people
have
not
been
using
in
the
past,,
which
is
an
out
of
three,,
not
just
an
out
of
five,,
which
the
not
of
three
allows
for.
If
there's
an
additional
desire
to
see
just
a
little
bit
more
research,
and
then
caps
like
a
reasonableness
to
that,
which,
I
guess
is
under
my
purview..
D
Nuria
rivera
vandermyden:,
but
that
seems
like
a
little
bit
of
something
we're
doing
here
with
the
fentanyl
wastewater
testing..
Can
we
have
a
little
bit
more
information
before
really
going
down
the
road
and
exploring
it.,
and
it
seems
like
for
some
of
these
that
may
come
up,
and
I
don't
know
what
what
will
come.
Up.
A
A
A
Claire
levy:
advisory
group,
claire
levy:
and
and
um,
you
know,,
I'm
just
the
last
person
on
this
screen
to
be
able
to
contribute
anything
to
what
you
know
whether
we
are.
proceed
with
something
like
that,.
B
B
C
Kelly
veit:
yeah,,
I
think,
in
terms
of
using
either
this
web
or
the
oxford
and
I'm..
I'm
glad
that
you
know
clarity.
You
brought
up
the
slide,
because
I
think
it's
long
been
a
question
of
how
do
we
integrate
um,
the
expertise
of
that
community,
coalition,
or
broadly,
into
the
work
of
the
opioid
export??
But
I
think,
in
terms
of
folding
in
primary
projects
directly
to
that
process..
It
makes
the
most
sense
to
me,,
because
it's
one
less
duality
to
hold
in
what
we've
already
identified
is
going
to
be
a
lot
of.
C
Kelly
veit:
different
duality
processes.,
so
you
know:
we've
got
um,,
you
know
the
application
process
might
be,
and
the
timeline
might
be
able,
and-
and
I
think
if
we
can
just
start
to
streamline
at
least
one
primary
element
of
this
um,,
that
would
be
really
helpful..
So
I
would
actually
see
it
as
something
that
I'm
sure
um..
That
group
would
like
to
sort
of
chew
on
and
kind
of,
take
under
their
purview,
because
they're
gonna
be
having
that
contextual
awareness
of
this
ongoing
discussion.
we're
having
about
priorities,.
C
C
Kelly
veit:,
I
think
it
fits
for
the
operations
group
to
kind
of
take
these
things
on..
The
question
that
comes
to
mind
for
me
is
the
most
equitable
mechanism
to
elevate
those
those
projects
directly
to
the
ops
board..
So
I
might
want
to
think
through
that
mechanism
a
little
more.
but
yes,
to
your
question..
Does
it
make
sense
to
sit
there?
and
I
think
it
does.

C
Kelly
veit:
um.,
so
the
reason
that
they
are
need
to
be
reassigned
now
is
because
of
the
recent
walgreens
and
cbs
settlements..
So
essentially,
this
is
all
of
the
same.
every
time
that
happens.,
the
every
single
municipality,
needs
to
re-agree
to
be
a
part
of
this,
and
to
accept
the
terms
of
the
the
legal
settlement
in
order
to
accept
those
those
dollars?.
A
Claire
levy:,
I
that's
what
claire
levy:
would
james?
to
what
if
these
communities
elect
not
to
opt
in
for
any
reason,
would
that
affect
the
make?
Up
of
this
council.-.
B
B
B
Kelly
veit:
yeah.,
so
I
just
I
I
do
want
to
clarify.,
so
I
think
we're
moving
two
things
into
one
document.
um,,
so
that.,
and
this
was
kind
of
confusing
for
a
lot
of
the
regions.,
so
we
just
talked
about
it
in
that
cross
regional
learning,
collaborative
that
the
coac
host
monthly..
So
this
is
actually
not
the
funding
opt
in
an
opt
out
piece..
This
is
this
is
just
a
participation
agreement
to
say,
yes,.
We
town
of
betterland
would
like
to
receive
additional
dollars
from
those
those
settlements.
C
Kelly
veit:
um.
that
annual
opt-in
and
opt-out
decision
will
be
put
forward..
I
don't
have
an
exact
date,,
but
last
I
heard
they
were..
They
were
looking
at
june
or
july
as
the
annual
period
where
they
could
opt
in
and
out
um,.
So
I
I
know
a
lot
of
regions
got
kind
of
confused
thinking.
This
was
the
same
thing.
um..
So
to
your
question
of
how
much
that
would
move
the
funding..
If
certain
municipalities
leave
the
or
opt
out
to
take
their
funds,,
it's
a
relatively
small,.
C
Kelly
veit:
all
fluctuation,,
because
there
is
a
baseline
number
of
what
the
region
is
going
to
get,,
no
matter
what..
So
I
think
last
year.
um,.
I
don't
want
to
make
up
numbers,,
but
it's
it's.
Basically
the
number
that
we
worked
with,
which
we
allocated
one
point:
eight
million
dollars
to
different
programs
last
year,,
and
I
think
it
was
something
like
one
point.
Four
or
one
point.
Five,
and
again
I
can
get
exact.
Numbers,
was
the
the
regional
share
that
we
already
had
as
our
baseline,,
so
that
wiggle
room,
with
the
additional
three
hundred.
C
A
Claire
levy:
yeah,,
I
was
just.,
I
was
just
about
to
say,.
I
think
we
have
reached
the
end
of
our
agenda.
um.,
so
yeah,
I
get.
I.
I
get
the
privilege
of
opening
and
closing
this
and
letting
everybody
have
eight
minutes
back
in
their
day..
It's
really
been
a
great
discussion..
I
want
to
thank
everybody
for.
A
Claire
levy:
for
active,
participation,
and
um!,
we'll
see
you
on
the
next
screen
here,
and
I'm
not
going
to
even
try
to
find
it
on
my
calendar,,
but
I
know
I
know
where
we've
got
them
scheduled
so
great
conversation
and
take
care
of
buddy
bye.
