A
A
A
C
My
friends,
my
name,
is
michael
schlotz.
I
live
at
605
riceville
road
in
east
asheville,
I'm
here
today,
representing
myself
and
asheville
food
and
beverage
and
about
the
concern
of
parking
in
the
city,
particularly
as
it
relates
to
those
in
the
service
industry.
I
thought
I
might
just
take
a
moment
and
share
with
you
my
story.
I've
been
living
down
here
for
two
and
a
half
years,
the
entire
time
working
in
the
food
and
beverage
industry.
C
However,
in
the
last
year,
almost
exactly
one
year,
I've
worked
at
an
establishment
that
has
no
parking
consideration
for
its
employees
and
in
preparation.
For
this
event,
I
have
calculated
the
cost
of
parking
for
myself
and
my
household
in
this
last
year
and
with
fines
paid
with
fines
still
owed
and
then
also
with
fines
paid
on-site
to
legally
pay
for
parking
across
the
year.
C
The
pardon
me
so
yeah.
In
any
case,
it's
extremely
expensive.
I
do
my
very
best
I
put
in
a
good
faith
effort
to
pay
and
oftentimes
I'm
paying
via
the
app
and
still
getting
ticketed
for
windows
of
about
30
to
you
know,
maybe
45
minutes
where
I'm
unable
to
access
my
phone
to
pay
because
I'm
doing
service
on
the
floor.
C
Food
service
industry
in
this
city
is
extremely
high
demand.
We
see
hundreds
of
people
per
night
and
we
do
not
get
the
opportunity
to
get
breaks
that
are
legally
required
in
most
places
of
work
and
so
to
this
effect,
I
have
incurred
very
much
more
tickets
than
an
average
person
would,
and
I
would
appreciate
any
consideration
that
y'all
could
have
for
us
just
to
make
this
situation
a
little
bit
easier
to
make
it
less
of
a
tax
to
work
in
the
city.
C
We
put
in
a
lot
of
work
to
make
sure
that
the
people
that
come
to
this
city
are
treated
well.
Service
is
an
industry
where
many
of
us
who
are
still
in
it
are
passionate
about
our
work,
and
we
are
there
to
provide
a
good
time
for
the
people
who
are
here
providing
economic
consideration
for
this
city,
and
so
we
ask
that
you
just
be
in
our
corner
on
this
help.
D
D
On
average,
70
million
people
are
helped
every
single
year
in
the
city
of
virginia
beach
alone,
and
that
does
not
include
the
outlying
cities
that
nearby
are
also
frequented
parking.
Here
ever
since
I've
arrived
to
work
in
downtown,
nashville
has
been
through
the
roof.
The
most
I
ever
paid
in
virginia
beach
was
seven
dollars
for
a
day,
and
that
was
the
most
extreme
that
you
would
ever
pay.
D
Having
lower
costs
has
been
proven
to
increase
the
amount
of
people
willing
to
work
in
an
area,
but
also
increase
the
demand
for
tourists
to
come
to
downtown
sure.
We've
got
west
asheville
and,
although
I
frequent
that
area
quite
often
I'd
like
to
be
in
downtown
more
often
most
most
people
that
I've
met
and
I've
talked
to
about
these
issues
since
the
one
month
I've
lived
here,
have
stated
that
they
refuse
to
work
in
downtown
they've
refused
to
visit
downtown
simply
because
of
the
astronomical
cost
it
is
to
park
somewhere.
D
If
we
look
alone
at
the
pack
square
parking
garage
on
biltmore
street,
it
is
four
dollars
per
half
hour
capping
at
20
for
a
day.
That's
telling
people
that,
if
they're
lucky
and
they
make
twenty
dollars
in
that
first
hour,
working
as
a
server
as
a
bartender
that
that
whole
first
hour
working
went
just
to
their
parking
and
that
does
not
include
the
gas
that
they
had
to
use
to
get
to
work
their
car
payment
that
comes
out
for
every
single
month
to
pay
for
their
car.
Their
insurance
that
they're
legally
required
to
have.
D
The
state
of
of
the
parking
garages
all
across
the
board
are
not
in
great
condition.
This
money
is
not
being
reinvested
in
the
city.
This
money
is
going
directly
into
the
pockets
of
the
rich
and
it's
disgusting,
so
I
propose
that
costs
be
lowered
for
the
parking
for
on
all
accounts,
to
improve
tourism
and
improve
the
workers,
lives
that
are
out
here
serving
the
city
every
single
day.
Thank
you.
E
Hi,
my
name
is
adrian
michelle
and
I'm
very
grateful
to
be
here
with
you
today.
I
live
at
30
graceland
road
in
north
asheville,
and
I've
been
in
asheville
for
a
couple
years
and
just
like
my
friends
talked
about,
I'm
not
going
to
I'm
going
to
talk
about
something
totally
different
than
what
they
said,
because
I
don't
want
to
reiter
reiterate
that
issue.
What
I'm
going
to
talk
about
is
the
time
it
takes
for
me
to
get
to
work.
E
I
work
at
the
asheville
beach
armor
and
we
have
two
locations,
one
on
broadway
and
one
on
battery
park,
and
it
doesn't
matter
which
one
I'm
at
it's
I
have
to
calculate.
Okay,
if
I
have
to
be
at
work
at
11,
let's
just
say
I
have
to
calculate
okay.
How
much
time
is
it
going
to
take
for
me
to
leave
to
find
a
parking
spot,
and
am
I
going
to
be
able
to
find
one
and
therefore
I
have
to
leave
much
earlier,
especially
when
I
know
it's
tourist
season
and
there's
many
many
tourists
here.
E
I
have
to
calculate
that
and
leave
a
lot
earlier,
which
takes
away
from
my
time
and
and
things
that
I
could
be
doing
better
than
trying
to
drive
around
finding
parking.
So
to
me
that
is,
that
is
a
huge
issue
that
I
have
to
and
I'm
not
getting
paid.
So
I'm
taking
extra
time
out
of
my
day
to
drive
around.
Sometimes
I've
had
to
leave
as
much
as
an
hour
earlier
before
work
starts
and
to
me
that's
just
not
sustainable
sustainable,
nor
is
it
acceptable.
E
Nor
is
it
a
good
way,
for
you
know
to
have
warm
fuzzies
towards
working
downtown
because
I'm
spending
my
personal
time
finding
a
spot
and
then
it's
a
snowball
effect,
because
then,
if
I'm
late,
it's
going
to
affect
other
workers,
because
if
I
come
in,
let's
just
say
I
have
a
midshift
and
I
come
in
and
somebody's
supposed
to
be
leaving.
Then
they
have
to
stay
later
because
I'm
running
late
because
I
couldn't
find
parking.
So
to
me
it's
just
a
snowball
domino
effect.
I'll
just
give
a
really
quick.
E
For
instance,
I
was
at
the
broadway
store,
a
co-worker
was
at
the
battery
park
store.
They
were
coming
to
cover
for
me
because
I
had
to
leave
at
four
o'clock.
It
took
them
an
hour,
an
hour
to
come
from
battery
park
to
broadway,
and
so
I
was
stuck
there.
So
that's
the
domino
snowball
effect
that
I'm
talking
about.
I
was
there
because
I
stayed
until
they
showed
up.
That's
not
fair.
For
me,
that's
not
fair
for
her.
E
That's
not
fair
for
anybody,
so
my
my
take
on
it
is,
you
know
same
as
them
and
I
agree
with
everything
they
say,
but
I
also
wanted
to
bring
the
time
and
also
the
pollution
of
you
know
how
many
cars
are
driving
around
wasting
gas
or
we're
wasting
gas
and
we're
polluting
the
air
more
because
of
trying
to
find
parking.
So
it's
a
big
domino
effect.
It's
a
snowball
effect
and
without
without
workers
there
would
be
no
tourism.
E
F
Well,
we
also
know
that
hendersonville
just
started
charging
for
their
own
street
parking,
and
that
was
something
I
kind
of
liked
about
hendersonville.
You
could
go
out
there
and
find
a
place
to
park
and
pull
in
now.
You
can't
this
is
an
example
folks
of
what
I
have
brought
up
several
times
on
some
of
your
zoom
meetings
in
your
long-range
planning.
F
F
Maybe
you
could
cut
a
deal
with
the
employers
where
they
could
give
free
parking
and
let
them
deduct
that
from
their
profit,
which
would
take
taxes
out
of
your
pocket
and
that
might
increase
your
debt
service
on
these
parking
garages,
which
I've
already
heard-
and
I
have
requested
from
don
just
just
a
while
ago-
and
I
didn't
want
to
do
it
and
catch
him
behind.
I
want
to
know
what
buncombe
county's
debt
service
is
and
avril.
F
F
First
thing:
we
do,
we
don't
do
prayer,
I'm
75
years
old,
and
I
remember
coming
to
these
chambers
and
hearing
different
prayers,
jews,
episcopalians
baptists,
and
it
was
a
great
learning
experience.
We
didn't
even
have
a
moment
of
silence
tonight.
I
want
you
all
to
think
about
that.
I'm
not
a
bible,
thumping
preacher,
but
we
do
have
to
have
some
morals
next
septic
systems.
F
And
I
hope
you
realize
that
when
you
flush
your
commode
in
the
city
of
asheville,
you
are
subsidizing,
affordable,
housing.
Yet
you
did
not
evaluate,
I
think,
you've
decided
to
now.
Seventy
five
thousand
dollars
to
solve
the
sewer
problem
is
not
a
drop
in
the
bucket
it'd,
be
better
off
to
spend
that
money,
telling
people
how
to
maintain
their
sewer
system
and
that's
coming
from
an
environmental
system
engineer
that
has
designed
sewer
plants.
G
This
option
should
be
exercised
whenever
additional
property
characteristics
are
discovered
that
were
not
previously
taxed.
In
this
circumstance,
the
assessor
is
obligated
to
collect
back
taxes
up
to
five
years
with
interest
penalty,
and
you,
commissioners,
are
supposed
to
get
a
report
by
state
law
of
who
was
who
was
affected
by
these
clawbacks
and
where
they
live.
That
should
be
reported
to
the
commission
by
state
statute,
a
few
numbers
for
context.
G
G
Exercising
this
option
to
the
degree
required
by
state
law
could
have
really
profound
impacts
to
improve
the
inequality
inequalities.
We
are
observing
in
the
assessment
system.
On
july
15
2022
urban
3
submitted
an
initial
records
request
to
buncombe
county
for
all
real
property,
discovered
notices
sent
to
buncombe
county
property
owners.
In
2021
a
week
and
a
half
later,
we
received
a
reply
that
the
data
was
not
available
to
staff
in
a
reporting.
G
Excuse
me
a
reporting
format.
We
followed
up
for
more
information
on
july
27
2022
with
county
assessor
keith
miller,
and
he
informed
us
that
the
county
does
not
have
real
property
tax
discovery,
notices
or
associated
data
easily
accessible,
and
that
to
proceed
with
our
request
would
incur
charges
to
cover
the
labor
necessary
to
retrieve
and
compile
discovery
data.
G
He
told
us
there
would
also
be
delays,
because
staff
would
not
be
able
to
get
to
the
work
until
after
billing,
for
the
county
was
complete
at
the
time
he
said
three
to
four
weeks,
which
would
imply
the
end
of
august.
After
several
follow-up
emails
on
august,
2nd
mr
miller
confirmed
that
our
request
was
still
pending
completion
and
he
would
get
back
to
us
with
a
cost
estimate
as
soon
as
staff
had
time
to
review
today
september
6,
we
still
not
heard
back.
G
We
understood
through
prior
conversations
with
staff,
that
discovery
was
not
being
exercised.
The
degree
required
by
this
section
of
the
general
state
statute,
this
records
request
to
the
county,
confirmed
this.
We're
feeling
that
revealing
that,
even
to
the
extent
that
the
discovery
may
be
exercised
sparingly,
it
is
not
being
tracked
or
quantified.
G
We,
as
taxpayers
and
residents
of
buncombe
county,
deserve
access
to
this
data,
and
the
commission
should
make
every
effort
to
be
transparent
and
provide
this
data
to
the
residents
of
the
county.
Understanding
who
is
and
who
is
not
being
asked
to
provide
back
taxes
on
an
annual
basis
should
be
mapped.
It
should
be
quantified.
It
should
be
addressed
and
understood.
H
Hey
y'all,
I'm
carly
schwartz
I've
been
living
here
for
six
years,
I'm
with
asheville
food
and
bev
united
as
well.
I'm
just
going
to
circle
back
on
the
parking
issue.
I
want
to
talk
to
y'all
today
about
the
safety
of
walking
to
your
downtown
place
of
work,
especially
if
you're
trying
to
avoid
paying
for
downtown
parking
a
lot
of
us
park
on
cherry
street
and
park
in
montford
and
walk
in
around
three
to
five
pm
and
then
walk
out
at
midnight
close
to
midnight.
A
lot
of
us.
H
More
recently,
since
there's
a
lot
of
people
kind
of
congregating
and
things
are
harder
financially
for
a
lot
of
people,
so
they
are
living
on
the
streets
now
anyway.
That
makes
it
more
dangerous
for
those
of
us
who
have
pockets
full
of
cash,
leaving
our
jobs
and
trying
to
walk
to
our
cars
safely,
which
really
in
asheville
shouldn't
be
a
problem
at
all.
H
H
Excuse
me,
those
are
big
city
problems
and
we
shouldn't
have
to
in
a
small
town
where
we
move
here
to
have
a
low
stress
environment
worry
about
our
safety
in
and
out
of
work.
I
think
that's
all
I
have
to
say
I
deal
with
the
same
things
that
everyone
else
deals
with
with
cost.
I
pay
1
8
of
my
income
as
well
to
parking,
and
I
would
be
it
would
be
really
great
if
we
could
have
free
parking
eventually,
but
discounted
parking
is
fine
as
well.
H
Also
as
a
final
note,
if
any
of
you
haven't
parked
on
cherry
street
or
momford,
I
would
really
encourage
you
to
do
that
at
midnight,
sometime
or
even
10
p.m,
and
just
try
walking
into
downtown
and
walking
back
out
bring
your
kids.
If
you
want
see
how
it
feels.
I
would
like
to
you
to
experience
what
we
have
to
do
every
day.
Thanks.
A
A
All
right
well,
thank
you
to
everyone
who
took
time
to
come
and
address
the
board
this
evening.
We
appreciate
it
all
right,
we
move
on
and
we
have
a
couple
of
presentations
and
the
first
of
which
is
a
proclamation
recognizing
labor
day
and
worker
appreciation
week
in
buncombe,
county
and
vice
chair,
amanda
edwards
is
going
to
read
the
proclamation
and
jen
hampton
from
asheville
food
and
beverage
is
going
to
receive
the
proclamation,
and
we
appreciate
everyone
from
national
food
and
beverage
coming
out
tonight
and
sharing
your
perspective
thanks
for
being
here.
I
Thanks
for
joining
us
jyn
and
to
the
other
members
of
asheville
food
and
beverage
united,
it
really
is
an
honor
to
present
this
to
you
all
this
evening
as
we
celebrate
you
all
and
the
accomplishments
of
workers
across
buncombe
county
and
celebrating
yesterday
as
labor
day.
So,
thank
you
all
so
much
for
your
efforts.
I
The
effort
to
address
the
concerns
of
workers
remains
a
vital
cause
to
provide
living
wage
jobs,
safe
working
environments,
affordable
housing,
health
care,
child
care
and
other
needs.
Now,
therefore,
the
buncombe
county
commissioners
proclaim
the
week
of
september
4th
to
be
worker
appreciation
week
in
buncombe
county
in
recognition
of
the
labor
day
holiday,
and
to
express
our
appreciation
to
all
workers
in
buncombe
county,
signed
by
brownie
newman
chairman
of
county
board
of
commissioners.
A
Jen
thanks
for
being
here
and
the
other
members
of
your
organization
and
we'd
love
to
hear
a
little
bit
about
what
you're
working
on.
I
understand
you
have
a
couple
of
slides,
you
wanted
to
see
and
it
sounds
like
we
should
have
had
in
the
proclamation
of
as
well,
of
course,
to
address
the
parking
issue
as
well
so,
but,
but
I
wanted
to
share.
A
I
mentioned
this
to
jen
before
the
meeting
that
at
our
briefing
meeting
this
afternoon,
the
staff
this
is
something
this
county
is
looking
at,
and
the
staff
have
presented
a
couple
of
different
options
for
us
to
look
at
to
address,
because
we
are
hearing
that
from
the
community
loud
and
clear
that
that's
a
need,
so
you
can
go
to
the
county
website
and
at
our
briefing
meeting
that
we
had
at
3
p.m.
There's
a
copy
of
the
powerpoint
presentation
that
the
staff
gave,
and
so
we're
really
looking
for
feedback
on
these
ideas.
A
J
Thank
you.
Thank
you
so
much
for
having
us.
Thank
you
very
much
for
this
proclamation
of
worker
appreciation
week.
That's
pretty
awesome
and
also
want
to
thank
chairman
newman
for
reaching
out
to
us
and
extending
this
invitation
to
come
and
present
this
issue
to
you
all
tonight
I
said
I'm
jen
and
I'm
lead
organizer
with
asheville
food
and
beverage
united,
which
is
a
worker-led
coalition
of
restaurant
workers
right
here
in
asheville
dedicated
to
fighting
for
better
working
and
living
conditions
for
all
service
workers
in
the
asheville
area.
J
We
are
also
working
on
teaching
workers
how
to
organize
their
workplaces
if
they
want
to
and
what
their
rights
are,
as
workers
we're
also
working
with
other
community
organizations
to
build
networks
to
try
and
provide.
For
I'm
sorry,
we
are
working
with
other
community
organizations
trying
to
network
and
collaborate
to
solve
these
issues
together.
J
So
we
are
like
I
said
we
are
fighting
for
workers.
We
have
like
close
to
22
000
workers
in
asheville
work
in
the
food
service
industry
in
over
900
restaurants,
and,
as
I'm
sure
you
know,
these
workers
contribute
an
economic
impact
of
like
three
billion
dollars
and
we
service
around
11
million
tourists
every
year.
So
we
really
think
that
that
really
wouldn't
be
anything
without
our
labor.
J
There
would
be
no
tourism
industry
in
asheville,
so
we've
been
talking
to
workers
about
our
fair
deal
campaign,
which
is
fighting
for
living
wages,
paid
sick
days
and
better
scheduling
practices,
and
in
doing
that
talking
to
workers.
We
discovered
that
while
those
issues
are
super
important
they're
also,
as
you
can
tell
very
upset
about
the
parking
issue,
so
we
decided
to
do
something.
J
We're
going
to
take
it
to
the
city
to
work
on
the
transit
issue.
I
know
that
the
county
can't
do
anything
about
that.
I
just
wanted
to
make
that
little
note.
So
our
petition,
which
I
brought
with
us
today,
a
physical
copy
of
everybody
who
signed
it.
We
have
over
2000
signatures
that
we
gathered
in
about
two
weeks,
so
people
were
very
excited
to
sign
that
petition
and
you've
already
heard
from
the
workers
what
they
have
to
say
about
it.
J
J
And
I
believe
that
you
all
can
do
that.
I'm
really
looking
forward
to
you
and
excited
to
see
what
those
proposals
were
that
chairman
newman
was
talking
about,
and
I
really
appreciate
you
guys
for
having
us
up
here,
and
I
know
that
we
can
work
together
to
do
something
about
this,
for
what
we
think
is
the
city's
most
essential
workers.
A
Jen
thanks
so
much
for
being
here
appreciate
everyone
being
here
and
we
do
look
forward
to
your
feedback.
It's
not
a
proposal
for
free
parking,
but
we
feel
like
it's
a
big
step
in
in
a
good
direction.
So,
but
we
look
forward
to
talking
talking
with
everybody
more
about
it
who
works
in
your
industry
and
all
the
folks
who
who
come
downtown
all
right.
Thank
you.
Thank
you
again.
A
All
right
and
yeah
and
folks
are
welcome
to
stay
if
you
wish,
but
if
you,
if
you
wish
to
go
as
well,
that's
certainly
totally
fine
too.
The
next
item
under
presentations
is
early
childhood
education
and
development
committee
and
rachel
nygard.
Our
strategic
partnerships
director
will
present
this
item.
L
L
Among
just
some
of
the
findings,
you
are
making
investments
in
early
childhood
education
because
you
know
in
our
county.
We
have
major
gaps
in
access
to
affordable,
high
quality,
early
care
and
education,
and
that
led
to
its
selection
as
a
county
strategic
plan
goal
and
now
on
to
the
update
the
primary
way
that
buncombe
county
is
working
toward
its
goal
of
increased
kindergarten.
Readiness
is
through
the
early
edu
childhood
fund.
L
L
L
And
here
is
a
look
at
our
current
crew
15
early
childhood
committee
members,
as
appointed
by
you,
the
membership
includes
three
members
of
the
buncombe
county
board
of
commissioners,
al
jasmine
and
robert.
I
believe
I
speak
for
our
committee
when
I
say
we
are
honored
to
be
serving
and
working
with
these
fine
elected
officials.
L
You'll
notice,
a
mix.
There
are
larger,
more
institutional
organizations
such
as
buncombe
county
schools,
as
well
as
community
action
opportunities
who
operate
head
start
here,
and
you
will
see
smaller
or
newer
child
care.
Centers
represented
here,
such
as
the
christine
avery
learning
center
and
evolve
early
learning.
L
L
The
projects
include
everything
from
classroom
expansions
and
operations
to
much
needed
supplemental
support
such
as
behavioral
health
and
parent
engagement,
there's
a
strong
emphasis
on
workforce
development
to
recruit,
support
and
retain
professionals
in
the
field.
We'll
touch
on
this
topic
again
in
just
a
bit
at
this
time.
I
will
pass
on
to
comm
committee
member
wendy
weber,
and
I
thank
you.
M
Now
we're
going
to
get
into
the
nitty-gritty
of
performance
reporting
once
the
grants
are
awarded
county
staff
work
closely
with
the
grantees
to
set
up
performance
contracts.
These
include
scope
of
work
that
defines
services,
deliverables
and
performance
measures,
grantees
submit
quarterly
reports
on
their
project
performance,
including
updates
on
activities,
progress
toward
goals
and
use
of
funds.
M
Continuing
with
our
annual
report
on
grants
from
fiscal
year
2022,
we
want
to
highlight
some
takeaways
from
the
grantees
quarterly
reports.
71
percent
of
all
goals
were
met
across
21
funded
projects.
This
is
a
lower
level
of
goal
attainment
than
we
would
expect
in
a
regular
year
as
a
result
of
kovit.
M
The
goals
where
we
saw
the
lowest
attainment
were
around
enrollment
attendance
and
staffing.
For
example,
only
20
percent
of
goals
were
met
for
number
of
slots
and
enrollment
percentage,
and
only
50
percent
of
goals
were
met
for
student
attendance.
We
did
see
that
grantees
had
good
success
on
goals
related
to
student
achievement.
89
percent
of
these
goals
were
met.
M
The
impacts
of
kovid
continued
in
fiscal
year
2022
and
the
field
of
early
care
and
education
was
especially
hard
hit.
Some
examples
of
what
we
heard
from
grantees
young
children
were
not
yet
eligible
for
covert
vaccinations
through
the
majority
of
the
fiscal
year.
It
wasn't
approved
until
june
18
by
the
cdc
programs
were
unable
to
have
as
many
classrooms
open
due
to
lack
of
staffing
and
the
classrooms
that
were
open.
They
had
to
clean
repeatedly.
M
M
M
M
Examples
of
success
are
on
your
screen
and,
despite
the
challenging
times,
there
were
plenty
of
successes
to
report
on
some
of
the
examples
from
our
grantees
in
their
anecdotes
that
they
shared
with
us.
The
family
child
care
network
project
said
we
met
goals
by
pivoting
and
adjusting
our
approach
and
our
community
engagement
to
meet
shifting
needs,
and
anyone
who
has
spent
time
with
a
just
three-year-old
or
more
than
one
three-year-old
will
appreciate
this
comment
from
christine
avery
learning
center.
M
M
That's
a
big
yay
evolve.
Early
learning
stated
we
are
learning
how
to
interview
and
enroll
so
that
our
classrooms
are
balanced,
inclusive
and
work
for
staff.
We
are
operating
on
a
wait
list
for
fall
and
beyond
an
on
track,
secure
program.
Participants
stated
I
had
an
incredible
experience
and
I'm
so
proudly
blessed
to
say
I'm
a
homeowner.
Now
I
continue
to
save
and
learn
valuable
debt
relief
tools
that
I
share
with
others.
Thank
you
and
here's,
a
statement
we
received
from
spanish-speaking
members
of
the
collaborative
la
milpa,
and
this
is
their
translation.
M
We
feel
very
proud
to
have
had
access
to
knowledge
training.
The
trainings
have
been
so
focused
and
of
such
value
to
learn
more
about
the
development
of
children
under
five
years
of
age,
since
most
of
the
members
of
the
cooperative
and
network
are
spanish-speaking,
immigrant
women
and
and
although
their
knowledge
and
experience
on
child
care
is
extensive,
with
the
received
theory
and
practice,
they
have
been
able
to
provide
not
only
care
to
the
children
of
the
community,
but
also
now
provide
education
regardless
of
language.
M
M
M
N
Good
evening,
as
we
said
at
the
start,
the
reason
we
have
an
early
childhood
fund
is
to
improve
community
conditions.
There
are
several
community
indicators
that
we
watch,
including
this
information
about
the
number
of
children
served.
We
want
to
see
an
increase
in
the
percentage
of
children
in
the
community
who
are
served
by
licensed
early
care
and
education
programs,
because
participation
in
high
quality
early
learning
is
a
factor
that
increases
kindergarten
readiness.
N
These
charts
reflect
the
percentage
of
children
enrolled
in
licensed
care
over
time.
The
top
chart
in
orange
and
blue
shows
all
children
from
birth
until
kindergarten
currently
29
of
all
children
in
age
range
within
this
age,
age
range
in
buncombe
county
are
enrolled
in
licensed
care.
The
bottom
chart
in
the
green
and
blue
shows
pre-kindergarten
age,
children,
four
and
five-year-olds,
not
yet
in
kindergarten.
N
Currently
51
percent
of
children.
This
age
are
enrolled
in
a
licensed
program.
The
trends
over
time
don't
show
the
steady
upward
curve
that
we'd
hoped
for,
and
we
know
this
is
because
of
covid
and
many
of
us
in
businesses
and
organizations
across
this
country
are
going
to
see
similar
types
of
curves.
N
2018
is
a
benchmark
showing
where
we
were
prior
to
the
establishment
of
buncombe's
early
childhood
fund.
2019
is
year
one
of
the
grants
and
2020
when
the
lines
drop
downward
is
when
covid
hit.
Several
programs
reported
wait
lists
for
this
fall's
enrollment,
so
we
look
forward
to
the
future
and
that
this
graphic
will
look
considerably
different.
N
Factors
that
contribute
to
this
are
the
strict
levels
of
education,
credentialing
and
training
requirements,
combined
with
the
generally
low
levels
of
pay
for
these
positions.
When
coveted
related
workforce
shortages
began,
this
exacerbated
an
already
challenging
situation
for
early
education.
The
number
of
employees
working
in
licensed
facilities
has
dropped
from
1045
in
2019
to
869
in
2022..
N
Kindergarten
readiness
is
a
key
community
indicator
related
to
this
work.
Until
recently,
we
haven't
had
good
information
about
the
kindergarten
readiness,
as
our
school
systems
were
each
using
different
assessments,
starting
in
2020.
We
now
have
a
unified
assessment,
which
is
a
that
is
a
source
of
of
great
pride
for
us
and
we're
very.
We
are
thankful
that
our
school
systems
have
worked
together
to
unify
this
assessment.
N
Seven
of
these
measures,
the
ones
in
the
boxes
at
the
top
right
of
the
screen-
are
the
ones
we
look
at,
which
address
early
language,
literacy,
cognitive
and
math
proficiency.
We
know
that
this
isn't
a
perfect
assessment.
I'm
not
sure
there
is
when
you've
got
this
many
domains
related
to
small
children
that
you
can
definitively
say
this
child
is
ready.
This
child
may
not
be
another
limitation
is
that
data
is
not
available
for
charter
private
and
home
schools,
which
together
represent
a
growing
number
of
students
in
our
community,
but
all
limitations
aside.
N
Four
of
the
seven
indicators
we
talked
about
the
north
carolina
eli
data
has
revealed
the
troubling
fact
that
at
the
time
of
kindergarten
entry,
there
is
already
an
achievement
gap.
On
the
previous
slide,
we
shared
that
69
percent
of
all
children
assessed,
met
or
exceeded
the
proficiency
standard
for
the
majority
of
objectives.
N
N
We
are
pleased
to
have
this
new
data
partnership
and
look
forward
to
working
with
the
early
learning
partners
and
the
school
systems
to
implement
what
we,
what
we
find,
we
will
be
able
to
study
the
impact
of
participation
in
pre-kindergarten
programs
and
how
that
impacts,
children's
kindergarten
readiness.
We
will
work
to
understand
more
about
the
disparities
we
will
have
information
over
time
to
be
able
to
map
trends
and
impacts,
and
importantly,
we'll
be
able
to
adjust
our
investments
in
programming
in
accordance
with
what
we
learn
before.
We
continue
this
evening's
presentation.
N
We
want
to
take
a
moment
to
add
a
bit
of
information
about
a
special
project
related
to
our
early
childhood
committee.
While
this
is
not
funded
through
the
early
childhood
fund
that
we've
been
discussing
this
evening,
it's
one
of
the
most
innovative
and
bold
steps
that
our
community
has
taken
to
expand.
Kindergarten
readiness,
the
nc,
pre-k
expansion
project
is
being
led
by
buncombe
partnership
for
children
and
funded
by
the
county's
coveted
recovery
funding
through
the
american
rescue
plan.
N
The
partnership
for
children
has
been
awarded
3.2
million
dollars
to
build
capacity
to
expand
north
carolina
pre-k
in
buncombe
county.
The
pilot
project
just
launched
for
this
school
year
is
intended
to
result
in
lower
teacher
turnover,
increased
provider,
participation
in
nc
pre-k
and
reduce
barriers
for
families.
The
project
will
increase
stability
and
equity
among
existing
north
carolina.
Pre-K
providers
expand
the
pool
of
high
quality
providers
and
licensed
teachers
and
make
it
easier
for
eligible
families
to
learn
about
and
take
advantage
of,
nc
pre-k's
proven
benefits.
N
In
summary,
we
want
to
say
thank
you
for
your
investment
in
this
very
important
program.
Not
only
are
we
building
an
infrastructure
for
workers
in
this
community
to
house
their
children
while
they're
going
to
work,
we're
building
the
skill
set
and
the
brains
of
those
children
who
are
our
next
generation
of
workers?
N
So
it's
a
it's
an
important
investment.
We
appreciate
that
you're
making
it
on
an
annual
basis.
We
also
appreciate
the
trust
you've
placed
in
the
program
and
doing
this
additional
3.2
million
dollars
to
work
on
systems
that
can
help
us
expand,
expand,
pre-k,
we're
proud
of
the
impacts
that
we've
made
so
far,
there's
more
to
be
done
and
hopefully
not
in
a
pandemic.
N
So
we
can
see
we
can
see
trend
lines
that
will
make
us
all
happy.
We'll
it'll
be
easy,
easy
to
tell
where
the
pandemic
was.
During
all
this
time
we
have
strategies
in
place
to
build
a
strong
and
equitable
recovery
from
the
pandemic
and
continue
advancing
early
care
and
education
as
a
keystone
of
a
thriving
buncombe
county,
and
we
so
appreciate
your
leadership.
B
N
B
K
We
targeted
75
percent
of
the
available
eligible
children
in
a
community,
because
not
everybody
will
choose
that.
That's
the
right
fit
for
their
family
right
now.
We
have
demand
information
at
the
center
by
center
level
in
the
in
the
form
of
wait
lists,
and
we
have
an
upcoming
centralized
portal
of
entry
single
portal
of
entry,
which
will
help
us
get
better
at
telling
you
about
demand
information
in
the
future.
Okay,
I'll.
N
Well
and
again
I
don't
have
data,
but
I
do
I
hear
from
employers
every
day
who
are
talking
about
the
trying
to
attract
people.
So
not
only
do
we
have
issues
around
the
availability
of
child
care,
it's
affordable,
housing.
It's
all
those
things
that
workforce
wants.
People
want
to
be
here,
but
we've
got
some
basic
barriers
to
their
coming.
B
N
Well,
we
were
actually
talking
about
this
earlier
today
on
the
chambers,
the
chambers
public
policy
committee
has
put
together
a
legislative
agenda
and
we've
discussed
the
need
for
supplements,
salary
supplements
for
child
care
workers,
because
this
is
core
economic
development
infrastructure
and
in
an
environment
where
it's
difficult
to
get
workers,
those
barriers
that
exist
need
to
be
knocked
down.
In
order
to
get
people
back
to
work
and
to
be
functioning
in
society,
we
would
love
to
see
the
general
assembly.
N
O
Just
very
briefly
and
behalf
of
commissioner
surveying,
the
committee
want
to
thank
the
three
of
you
and
staff
for
the
hard
work
that
went
into
this
presentation
and
the
whole
committee
for
the
work
represented
here
and
just
lift
up
again,
something
that
was
referenced
a
few
times,
but
I
think
bears
repeating
is
that
you
know
one
of
the
most
significant
things.
That's
happened.
The
last
few
years
is
the
ability
to
direct
resources
into
some
of
the
retrofitting
and
infrastructure
needs
that
are
required
so
that
we
will
be
prepared
to
begin
scaling
access.
O
So
that's
things
like
the
single
portal
of
entry.
That's
things
like
having
a
consistent
way
to
assess
kindergarten
readiness,
so
we
can
really
track
the
efficacy
of
what's
happening,
and
it's
certainly
what's
about
to
happen.
As
the
pre-k
pilot
moves
forward.
I
understand
an
update
from
the
partnership
that
local
pre-k
centers
will
begin
receiving
that
local
supplement
by
the
end
of
this
month,
so
that
funding
is
about
to
start
flowing
into
those
centers
and
I
think
we're
really
about
to
enter.
A
A
R
Good
evening,
everyone
it's
been
a
little
bit
since
I've
had
the
pleasure
to
be
in
front
of
you,
it's
nice
to
be
back
and
there's
been
some
favorable
developments,
since
we
were
together
last
I'd
like
to
walk
you
through
those,
it's
a
short
presentation.
I
think
there's
maybe
12
pages,
and
I
think,
let's
see
so
for
tonight's
agenda-
we're
going
to
walk
you
through
year-to-date
financials,
so
2022
calendar
year
through
june,
but
I
have
an
update
through
july,
the
calendar
year
forecast
for
for
23..
R
R
First
on
the
financials,
how
are
things
running
year-to-date,
slightly
unfavorable
actual
claim
costs
are
running
about
four
percent
above
forecasted
claim
costs
for
the
health,
health,
insurance
programs
you're
an
employer
self-funded
program,
so
you
pay.
Those
claims
as
they
come
in
blue
cross
is
just
an
administrator
for
you.
You
pay
them
administrative
fees
so
on
a
claim
basis,
slightly
unfavorable.
This
is
through
june.
I
shared
with
you
that
I
was
able
to
get
july
data.
R
R
Just
to
give
you
an
update
on
where
you're
spending
some
of
your
money,
you
have
17
large
claimants
over
125
000
is
what
we
consider
to
be
a
large
claimant
in
calendar
year,
22.,
eight
or
employees.
Nine
are
either
spouses
or
children
of
those
17
claimants.
How
are
they
enrolled?
You
have
three
different
medical
plans,
so
there's
just
dispersion
around
enrollment.
We
just
share
that
data
point
just
to
suggest
you
don't
have
adverse
selection,
any
one
plan
it's
kind
of
evenly
divided
on
large
claimants.
R
These
are
just
some
statistical
data
points
that
suggest
that
the
program's
doing
really
well
the
the
blue
cross
discounts
that
you
have
are
50
of
charges
that
save
the
county
23
and
a
half
million
dollars
in
the
most
recent
12
months.
There's
some
clinic
engagement
data
points
here
that
I
think
are
interesting
and
and
should
be
embraced
by
the
county
leadership.
I
think
staff
hr
and
the
clinic
and
blue
cross
program
behind
the
scenes
are
running
really
well.
Your
nurse
support
management
engagement
is
saved
about
361
thousand
dollars
in
care
avoidance.
R
That's
fantastic.
Your
member
health
engagement
rates
are
15
or
actually
at
15
book
of
business
norm
for
blue
cross
is
around
11..
That
doesn't
sound
like
a
lot.
That's
really
amazing
guys.
So
that's
things
like
member
engagement,
programs,
hyperlipidemia,
hypertension,
low
back
pain,
autoimmune
diseases.
R
That
means
your
employees
are
getting
the
message
at
the
clinic
from
hr
and
they're
enrolling
in
these
programs
and
they're,
taking
the
advice,
your
generic
utilization.
So
that's
just
a
marker
that
says
when
there's
a
lower
cost
drug,
are
your
employees
taking
that
drug
as
opposed
to
a
brand?
We
look
for
that
to
be
at
86..
You
guys
are
at
88
that's!
I
know
these
are
small
percentages
but
they're
fantastic
results,
your
medication,
possession
rate.
That
means,
if
somebody's
on
a
maintenance
met
could
be
allergies
could
be
asthma.
R
It
could
be
something
more
more
significant.
Like
a
beta
blocker,
your
medication
possession
rates
are
really
good,
so
people
are
not
only
filling
the
script
they're.
Taking
their
meds
and
they're
getting
their
scripts
filled,
we
moved
formularies
a
little
over
a
year
ago
to
a
more
low-cost,
focused
formulary
that
saved
almost
seven
hundred
thousand
dollars
in
the
most
recent
12
months.
So
fantastic
results
that
speak
to
the
collaborative
work.
R
That's
been
done
in
the
past
and
the
integration
of
the
clinic
and
some
of
the
other
efforts
and
in
your
wellness
and
health
management
programs,
a
couple
of
more
data
points,
I'll
keep
going
copay
maximization
program,
that's
a
pharmacy
program
that
leverages
into
pharma
coupon
programs,
so
it
doesn't
cost
the
employee
any
and
in
order
to
save
the
county
money,
this
program
can
be
leveraged.
You
guys
started
about
a
year
ago
and
you've
already
saved
279
thousand
dollars.
R
R
Diabetic
adherence
to
evidence-based
care
is
20
above
normative.
So
again,
that's
diabetes
is,
is
probably
the
biggest
killer
in
the
us
today.
That's
no
different
in
bunking
county.
So
it's
nice
to
see
that
adherence
to
evidence-based
medicine
is
higher
than
norm
diagnostic
imaging
program.
So
that's
where
you
get
an
mri,
for
example,
there's
a
care
there's
a
program
to
steer
that
care
to
the
most
cost
effective
place
and
that
saved
the
county.
49
000
this
year
and
er
and
urgent
care
utilization
are
below
normative
data,
which
is
where
you
want
to
be.
R
You
don't
want
er
visits
if
you
can
avoid
them.
So
that's
a
good,
that's
another
marker
that
suggests
the
clinic's
working
and
the
clinic
hours
and
the
clinicians
are
well
respected
and
admired
by
your
employees
because
they're
being
used
and
then
preventive
care
screening.
So
that's
colorectal
screening,
other
mammograms,
pap
smear
screenings,
routine
physical
examinations,
those
are
above
normative
data.
Again
your
associates
and
covered
family
members
are
are
paying
attention
taking
the
advice
of
the
clinic
and
having
screenings
done
so
that
adds
all
adds
up
to
favorable
performance
about
one
percent
above
norman.
R
I
know
these
are
small
percentages
when
you
look
at
them,
but
it's
really
favorable.
So
it's
nice
to
be
able
to
share
that
because
I
know
the
last
couple
of
times.
I've
been
at
the
podium,
it
has
not
been
favorable
news,
it's
been
pretty
challenging,
so
that
was
a
lot
really
fast,
but
I
I
think
it
ties
together
the
success
the
program's
having
it
leads
to
a
revised
forecast.
So
the
translation
of
of
that
news
and
and
favorable
recent
developments
is
the
the
calendar
year.
R
23
forecast
is
a
little
more
favorable
to
kind
of
set
the
23
forecast
in
context.
The
22
forecast
is
about
33.5
million
dollars
with
the
county,
picking
up
the
majority
of
that,
you
see
it:
30.7
million
and
the
employees
picking
up
a
little
over
2.8
million
dollars,
and
so
for
calendar
year
23.
There
is
a
forecasted
increase.
Please
keep
in
mind.
Healthcare
trend
has
run
at
about
seven
percent,
so
and
and
from
my
side
of
the
table
in
employee
benefit
consulting
when
we
see
forecasts
that
are
south
of
seven
percent.
R
That's
very
favorable
that
suggests
some
things
are
going
well
in
the
risk
pool
and
the
disease
burden
is
mitigating.
So
that's
nice.
This
increase
option.
One
would
be
to
keep
your
three
programs
as
they
are
today.
So
I
started
with
the
county
offers
three
medical
plans:
no
changes
to
those
plans,
no
changes
to
the
network,
no
changes
to
the
prescription
drug
program;
basically,
no
changes,
no
changes
to
employee
premiums.
R
Option
two
would
be
keeping
most
of
option
one
intact,
but
adding
a
fourth
medical
plan,
and
that
plan
is
known
as
a
qualified
high
deductible
health
plan.
You
might
originally
have
known
as
consumer
driven
health
care,
high
deductible
health
plan,
but
it'd
be
adding
a
fourth
plan,
keeping
the
other
three
plans
as
they
are
today,
just
adding
a
fourth
employed
premiums
wouldn't
change.
The
employee
premiums
to
enroll
in
the
fourth
plan
would
be
the
same
as
core
or
or
maybe
mildly
favorable
on
the
single
if
they
were
wellness
compliant.
R
R
Here's
a
good
visual,
the
the
top
of
the
page,
is
the
three
plans
that
you
offer
today.
The
bottom
of
of
the
page
is
those
three
plans
again
and
with
the
ad
of
the
hdhb
high
deductible
health
plan
in
the
ad
network
benefits
the
the
county
is,
is
recommending
in
the
first
year
to
fund
the
entirety
of
the
deductible
so
for
a
single
that'd
be
1500
hours
and
for
a
family
that'd
be
3
000..
R
This
just
goes
a
little
bit
deeper
in
what
is
a
qualified
high
deductible
plan.
The
one
that's
been
designed
again
yourself
on
a
plan
sponsor,
so
you
able
to
design
it
how
we
want.
We
worked
with
staff
in
leadership
to
design
it.
The
deductible
would
be
1500
hours.
There
are
some
legal
minimums
and
maximums
and
plan
design
features
it's
irs
tax
code.
These
meet
those
there.
It
is
within
the
legal
minimums
and
maximums,
so
the
plan
design
would
be
irs
compliant.
R
The
deductible
would
be
1500
hours
for
a
individual
and
3
000
for
the
family,
co-insurance
would
be
30
out
of
pocket.
Maximum
would
be
forty
five
hundred
and
nine
thousand
for
family
and
then,
as
I
had
previously
mentioned,
the
premium
or
employee
payroll
deductions,
if
you
will
would
be
identical
to
the
core
plan,
with
the
exception
of
single
and
for
those
that
elected
it
and
single
and
they
were
wellness
compliant
it'd
be
actually
be
cheaper
than
core,
not
remarkably,
but
it
would
be
cheaper.
R
So
that's
a
fantastic
way
to
introduce
that
and
then
again
the
county
would
fund
the
hsa
account
and
just
administratively
that
they
would.
The
proposal
is
to
do
that
that
fifteen
hundred
and
three
thousand
in
thirds
so
at
different
intervals
during
the
calendar
year.
That's
because
hsa
money
becomes
the
owner
when
you
hand
when
the
county
hands
or
any
employer
hands
an
employee,
hsa
funds.
Those
funds
become
owned
by
the
employee
on
the
day,
they're
they're
handed
to
them.
R
R
What
makes
a
high
deductible
health
plan
different?
Well
first,
it
has
some
tax
advantage
status
that
allow
a
consumer
to
open
an
hsa
allows
a
plan
sponsor
like
buncombe
county,
to
actually
hand
money
to
employees,
and
you
do
that
in
a
tax-free
way,
so
that
money
goes
to
their
side
of
the
table
dollar
for
dollar
and
they
own
it
and
it's
theirs,
whether
they
stay
at
the
county
or
not,
they
have
it
in
perpetuity.
There
are
no
co-payments.
R
So
one
of
the
downsides,
a
lot
of
people
feel
about
high
deductible
health
plans
is
how
come
there's
no
pharmacy
copays.
How
come
there's?
No
doctor
visit
copays
can't
have
co-pays
just
part
of
the
law,
so
co-pays
aren't
available,
however,
preventive
care
so
routine
physical
examinations
and
preventive
screenings.
You
can
still
do
it
100,
so
your
employees
and
associates
would
not
suffer
in
their
preventive
care
compliance
and
their
health
status
and
screenings
by
joining
the
qualified
high
deductible
helpline.
R
R
Your
employees
would
actually
be
opening
an
account
if
you
handed
them
if
they
chose
the
qualified
deductible
plan
and
they
opened
an
hsa
account
in
the
example
of
a
single.
The
county
would
be
handing
them
1500
hours
if
the
balance
was
at
a
thousand
dollars.
For
I
think
it's
six
to
nine
months,
then
they
those
are
investable
assets,
so
think
ir
ira
or
401k
or
403b.
R
They
actually
would
have
a
menu
of
of
investment
options
to
pick
from
once
the
balance
stayed
at
a
certain
place
withdrawing
the
money,
it's
untaxed
as
long
as
your
section
213,
that's
reference
to
an
irs
code,
but
those
are
the
deductible
expenditures,
unlike
flex
flexes
that
you
use
it
or
lose
it.
So
everybody
knows
the
fsa
money
on
the
medical
reimbursement
side.
Hsa
is
a
little
different,
no
use
it
or
lose
it.
R
R
So
I
moved
through
that
relatively
fast.
I'm
I'm
happy
to
take
questions.
I
think
the
gist
of
it
is
either
a
2.3
increase
or
2.6.
So
that's
extremely
favorable.
I
hope
the
board
receives
that
as
favorable
news
tonight
and
the
increase
is
somewhere
between
800
and
888,
depending
upon
whether
it's
the
board's
desire
to
maintain
the
three
plans
or
have
the
three
plans
and
add
a
fourth-
and
you
know
this
is
probably
worth
mentioning.
R
R
I
I
think
if
the
group
were
to
offer
the
fourth
medical
plan
you
might
have
somewhere
around
40
or
50
employees,
take
it
again
with
option
one
being
no
increase
to
current
premiums
and
they
like
their
current
plan.
I
don't
know
how
long
they
would
consider
an
alternative.
We'll
certainly
do
our
part
in
the
communication
strategy
to
help
encourage
some
of
these
40
percent
to
seriously
consider
it,
but
by
offering
it
a
wide
swath
of
of
your
employees
would
benefit
from
it.
R
B
I
have
one
question
and
it
might
be
for
the
county
manager
so
with
the.
If
we
go
with
a
high
deductible
plan,
so
the
first
year
the
county
will
fund
it
100
and
that
will
only
be
if
they
go
ahead
and
sign
up
this
first
year
right,
okay
and
then,
after
that
it
would
be
50
correct,
okay
for
each
year
thereafter.

Good
evening,
commissioners
hope
you're
all
doing
well,
so
we
have
some
housekeeping
we
need
to
do.
We
are
required
to
we.
We
you
are
required
to
name
our
official
depositories
for
the
county
has
not
been
updated
since
october
31st
of
2000,
as
you
can
imagine,
there's
a
few
that
we
need
to
add.
As
things
have
changed,
banks
have
merged
and
that
sort
of
thing.
U
T
U
Gotcha,
I
I
guess
yeah
just
to
let
you
know
where
I'm
going
with
that
is,
is
at
a
future
date
when
we're
thinking
about
that
or
going
through
that
process
for
changing
any
of
these
I'd,
be
interested
in
the
board.
Giving
feedback
on
you
know,
selecting
a
bank
that
maybe
aligns
with
our
values
to
the
best
of
our
ability
that
still
meets
the
needs
of
the
of
the
county
and
our
deposits,
and
that
sort
of
thing.
So,
okay,.
V

This
is
an
annual
ordinance
to
carry
forward
funds
that
were
budgeted
in
fiscal
year,
22
to
fiscal
year,
23
totaling,
five
million
three
hundred
thirty,
eight
thousand
eight
hundred
eighty
eight
dollars
in
the
general
fund,
seven
hundred
twenty
five
thousand
five
hundred
forty
nine
dollars
in
the
transportation
fund
and
sixteen
thousand
two
hundred
forty
nine
dollars
in
the
solid
waste
enterprise
fund.
A
large
portion
of
these
funds
related
to
goods
or
services
purchased
in
fiscal
year
22,
which
were
unable
to
be
delivered
in
fiscal
year
22..
V
The
largest
amount
is
related
to
economic
development
incentives
budgeted
in
fiscal
year,
22,
for
which
we
have
not
received
a
request
for
disbursement.
A
second
ordinance
transfers,
3
million
48
000
of
these
dollars
to
the
multi-year
special
projects
fund,
where
we
have
budgeted
multi-year
incentives
for
fiscal
year
23
forward.
V
Other
reasons
for
carrying
forward
are
receipt
of
single-year
grant
revenue
delayed
from
fiscal
year,
22
and
general
fund
grant
match
that
was
not
transferred
in
the
prior
year.
Majority
of
the
revenue
for
this
budget
amendment
is
appropriate
fund
balance
with
some
grant
revenue
and
intergovernmental.

It's
a
long
day,
but
probably
most
people
well,
though,
is
the
oh,
but
the
the
comp
plan
is
like
a
three
by
three
meeting.
So
there'll
be
three
commissioners
here
for
that:
okay,
well,
would
you
all
be
open
to
doing
like
an
11
30
meeting
that
day
and
then
some
people
be
in
this
comp
plan
meeting
some
people
won't,
but
we'll
be
coming
back
that
same
day
for
that
so
11,
45
or
11
30,
something
145
too
weird.
Like
pick
a
time
still.
