From YouTube: Commissioner's Budget Workshop (March 30, 2021)
Description
Special Meeting of the Buncombe County Board of Commissioners where they hear from staff on the FY22 budget.
A
C
C
C
C
C
C
C
May
18th
is
the
current
proposed
date
for
the
county,
manager's
recommended
budget
message
june.
1St
is
the
tentative
date
for
the
public
hearing
on
the
recommended
budget.
You
all
have
the
discretion
to
either
adopt
the
budget
on
june
1st
at
a
regularly
scheduled
meeting
on
june
15th
or
any
other
specially
called
meeting.
That's
properly
noticed
any
questions
about
the
timeline.
A
A
A
D
C
We
will
review
in
some
additional
detail,
personnel
requests
or
changes
that
are
currently
included
in
the
first
pass
budget,
significant
operating
drivers
or
significant
changes
to
operating
and
program
support.
We
additionally
would
like
to
explore
and
receive
commissioner
direction
as
it
relates
to
staffing
requests
specifically
for
two
grants.
The
safety
and
justice
challenge
grant
and
the
community
paramedicine
grant
and
then
a
review
of
some
of
those
items
that
we've
collected
information
on
strategic
plan
priorities
asking
for
additional
guidance
from
you
all.
C
If
you
will
recall,
we
recently
added
almost
3
million
in
expenditures
for
the
opeb
contribution,
so
that
recently,
you
know
inflates
that
to
347.
and
the
budget.
The
amended
budget
reflects
changes
so
budget
amendments
that
occur
since
the
time
of
adoption
is
what
the
amended
budget
is
salaries
and
benefits
makes
up.
The
majority
of
the
general
fund
budget
to
fund
staff
to
provide
services
that
the
county
is
either
mandated
expected
or
best
positioned
to
provide
program.
C
Support
is
the
second
highest
percentage
which
includes
89.5
million
to
ab
tech
and
our
k-12
schools,
health
and
human
services
makes
up
18.1
million
of
the
program's
support
where
the
majority
is
offset
by
state
and
federal
revenue.
Sources
for
mandated
services
and
economic
development
is
four
million
dollars
in
the
amended
budget,
and
early
childhood
programming
is
2.8
million.
C
C
C
We
do
want
to
break
down
the
3.8
growth,
so
we
will
review
that
detail
over
the
next
several
slides
before
I
do
that.
I
would
like
to
just
take
a
moment
to
review
and
remind
us
what
each
of
these
ledgers.
So
as
we
talk
about
the
budget,
these
are
the
ledger.
Our
ledger
summaries
ledger
accounts,
but
just
want
to
review
the
like.
C
The
main
content
of
what's
included
in
those
salary
and
benefits
is
probably
the
most
obvious
one
that
is
salarying
benefits
for
regular
positions,
temporary
position,
salaries
and
then
any
grant
funded
position,
salaries
and
benefits
that
are
budgeted
in
the
general
fund
program.
Support
is
primarily
made
up
of
education,
local
current
expense,
funding,
economic
development,
incentive
and
program
areas
across
social
services
and
public
health
operating
is
what
you
generally
think
of
for
contract
and
professional
services,
travel
and
training
utilities.
C
Debt
service
are
our
debt
obligations
for
previous
financing.
Of
projects
as
well
as
budget
for
estimated
future
fiscal
year,
2022
debt
costs,
transfers
and
other
financing
are
budgets
to
transfer
dollars
from
the
general
fund
in
support
of
items
that
exist
in
other
funds,
such
as
the
transportation
funding
and
the
affordable
housing
program.
Funding
and
then
capital
outlay
are
expenditures
for
equipment
and
fleet
which
are
new
or
replacement.
C
The
last
is
contingency
so
from
a
budgetary
perspective.
Contingency
is
budgeted
as
contingency
and
that,
as
you
all
authorize
its
use,
it
gets
transferred
into
the
area
of
the
budget.
It's
needed.
For
instance,
the
fiscal
year
2021
contingency
amount
of
1
million
was
authorized
for
use
for
public
health
and
emergency
services
for
pandemic
response,
and
that's
why
you
don't
see
it's
still
in
the
budget
for
the
amended,
because
it's
actually
then
moved
out
to
the
other
other
ledgers
in
those
cost.
E
G
G
C
C
C
D
C
C
But
if
you
do
have
specific
questions
on
the
others,
I'll
be
happy
to
answer
them.
We
will
review
in
further
detail
in
today's
discussion.
The
community
paramedic
and
program
manager
positions.
These
positions
are
a
partial
year
request.
Following
the
conclusion
of
grant
funding,
we
made
a
commitment
to
you
that
grant
funded
positions
are
time
limited
unless
you
all
support
the
continuation
of
them
with
county
funds
in
the
same
scenario,
is
the
three
pre-trial
services
screener
positions?
B
Many
of
you
have
seen
the
requests
and
the
complaints
from
citizens
around
nuisance
abatements
in
their
community.
We
currently
don't
have
a
position
for
court
enforcement
that
really
gets
out
and
every
response
to
those
requests.
We
were
using
a
hybrid
model
where
we
pull
employees
from
different
departments
to
address
these
issues.
The
position
you
see
there
today,
the
code
enforcement
officer
will
help
to
address
those
specific
and
be
the
person
that
the
community
can
call
when
they
have
nuisances,
and
we
can
respond
to
that.
B
So
that's
the
need
that
we
have,
that
is
included
in
this
year's
budget
that
we
haven't
had
before.
In
addition,
yesterday,
I
responded
to
you
regarding
some
builders
that
are
complaining
about
our
septic.
The
position
you
see
here
for
environmental
health
specialists-
that
is
a
position
that
wants
to
prove,
can
help
to
address
that
need,
so
those
are
mostly
based
on
need
in
their
community
right
now,
those
two
or
in
my
mind,
some
of
the
most
vital
positions
that
you
have
on
your
list.
C
A
B
A
I
J
B
D
B
The
excuse
me
this
is
the
second
wave
of
those
positions,
so
these
are
part-time
positions
that
the
library
would
need
to
continue
the
service
that
they're
providing
okay.
Thank
you.
I
believe
there
are
actually
17
or
so
positions
asked
in
the
library
and
we
cut
that
in
half.
So
when
we
send
a
list
of
the
68
you
would
see
there
was
a
hot
lot
more
that
we
decided
to
trim
back
and
instead
of
having
a
three
or
four
year,
build
out
for
the
library
would
not
be
a
five
year
build
out.
E
D
B
B
C
There
was
a
there's:
a
total
of
a
5.5
million
dollar
increase
request
in
the
fiscal
year.
2022
first
pass
budget
for
a
salary
and
benefits
and
wanted
to
walk
through
what
what
are?
What
are
those
components
so
1.6
million
dollars
of
that
is
the
impact
to
the
baseline
budget
for
the
april
1.45
cost
of
living
adjustment.
C
C
C
C
We
have.
We
are
seeing
a
one
one
point
million
dollar
impact
as
a
result
of
the
state
retirement
required
employer
contribution,
share
increase,
so
the
employer
contribution
went
for
regular
employees
from
10.19
to
11.29
percent
and
for
law
employees.
It
went
from
10.9
percent
to
12.14,
so
that
equates
to
about
a
million
dollar
additional
impact
to
our
budget.
For
next
fiscal
year.
C
C
C
So
operating
and
program
support
primary
drivers,
I'll
begin
with
information
technology,
so
1.9
million
of
the
2.3
is
related
to
deferred
maintenance
and
technology
refresh
for
it.
When
we
were
developing
the
budget
last
year
and
evaluating
for
expenditure
reductions,
this
is
an
area
where
we
deferred
some
of
our
items
to
account
for
projected
revenue
shortfalls,
the
k-12
and
a
b
tech
local
fund
budget
support
is
included
in
the
first
pass
budget
as
a
three
percent
increase
so
for
buncombe,
county
schools,
asheville
city
schools
and
a
b
tech
for
the
purposes
of
first
pass.
C
C
C
C
A
C
I
C
And
that
gets
a
little,
it
gets
a
little.
Yes,
it
gets
skewed,
but
then
you
we
also
have
to
like
choose
like
the
rate
at
which
you
set
the
ad
value.
I
mean
so
it's
a
that
one
is
this,
makes
it
a
difficult
year
to
like
really
use
that
as
a
solid
guide
for
unrestricted
revenue
growth,
because
we
don't
quite
really
know
what
that
is
until
the
tax
rate
is
established.
A
The
current
forecasted
number
that's
correct,
and
it's
a
it's
a
bigger
number,
but
part
of
the
point
is
last
year
it
was
a
smaller
number
because
of
the
forecasted
impacts
of
covid
and
all
that.
So,
while
this
is
bigger,
it's
kind
of
a
over
a
two-year
average,
it's
it's
somewhere
in
between
those
two
right.
C
A
C
All
right
so
I'll
also
just
point
out,
so
we
in
going
through
the
the
various
cost
centers.
I
really
chose
to
kind
of
highlight
those
that
were
greater
than
like
fifty
thousand
dollars.
You
know
at
a
time
or
at
so
I'm
trying
to
figure
out
some
other
ones
that
I
would
point
out
so
the
general
services
that
584
000
increase
for
that
cost
center
is
actually
where
we've
been
working
to
streamline
our
janitory,
our
janitorial
and
utility
expenses.
C
So
that's
a
another
area,
so
it's
not
really
a
net
increase
for
them.
It's
a
it's
a
shift
to
their
budget
and
then
I'm
happy
to
review
or
discuss
any
of
the
other
items
here.
Id
bureaus
two
new
fingerprint
scanners.
I
think
they're
currently
operating
on,
like
windows,
7
still
so
we're
at
a
kind
of
critical
point
where
we
need
to
replace
those.
C
I
C
The
direct
assistance,
so
in
the
amended
budget
we
came
forward
with
some
additional
funding
that
had
been
provided
to
health
and
human
services
as
passed
through.
So
that's
in
the
21
budget,
but
it
wouldn't
be
in
the
22
budget,
so
it
reflects
as
a
decrease
elections
on
decreases
related
to
haven't,
had
a
presidential
election
in
21,
and
you
don't
have
that
repeated
in
2022
the
justice
resources
support.
C
C
You
can
see
their
library
where
they've
transferred
the
janitorial
services
to
general
services
and
then
the
playground
funding
which
I'll
speak
to
a
little
bit
later
as
well.
The
we
don't
currently
have
a
placeholder
in
for
the
discussion
around
the
playground,
funding
or
the
extracurricular
enhanced
curricular
activity
support.
A
Just
on
that
last
point
that
you
made
so
we
did
have
a
discussion
about
how
that
might
be
structured,
the
supplemental
education
funding,
but
it's
so
it's
not
currently
recommended
to
the
budget.
So
if
we
wanted
to
do
that,
we
would
need
to
bring
that
back
in
and
it
would
be
structured,
as
was
discussed
at
the
recent
meeting.
C
They
are
compiling
lists
from
their
individual
school
requesters
that
fit
those
categories
of
funding,
so
that
was
the
playground
enhanced
curricular
in
association
with
like
their
student
clubs
and
organizations,
and
so
I
I
have
had
more
frequent
conversation
with
asheville
city
and
they
are
in
the
final
kind
of
fine-tuning
of
their
list
and
then
what
our
hope
is
is
that
we
will
take
that
information
from
them.
I've
asked
them
to
prioritize
those
lists
and
we'll
be
happy
to
share
those
lists
with
you
all
and
then
internally.
C
C
C
Most
of
the
detail
that
we
focus
on
in
the
conversation
is
around
the
general
fund
because
it's
the
county's
primary
operating
fund.
However,
we
do
want
to
make
you
aware
of
two
additional
personnel
requests,
one
in
the
solid
waste
enterprise
fund
for
a
scale
operator,
and
then
one
request
for
attempt:
conversion
in
the
internal
service,
health
and
dental
fund
for
a
part-time
physician,
extender
position
again.
C
Currently,
the
safety
and
justice
challenge
grant
covers
pre-trial
screener
positions
through
january
31st
2022
in
the
fiscal
year
22
budget.
The
request
to
be
able
to
staff
pre-trial
screener
positions
in
22
from
february
to
june
is
for
an
estimated
total
of
fifty
eight
thousand
seven
hundred
and
twenty
four
dollars.
C
C
I'll
just
note
that
the
table
at
the
bottom
reflects
some
accomplishments
and
outcomes
which
you
heard
our
justice
services
director
speak
to
several
weeks
ago,
and
I
would
note
that
the
overall
percent
of
diverted
individuals
into
pre-trial
out
of
total
bookings
has
has
improved.
So
the
percent
has
increased.
K
And
just
to
clarify,
we
could
connect
the
dots
to
some
extent
between
the
224
000
being
saved
by
justice
resource
services
due
to
more
streamlined
services.
And
then
this
is
a
budget
request
to
add
new
positions.
But
if
we
look
at
the
totality
of
all
that,
we
see
we're
actually
saving
money
under
justice
resources.
B
C
K
K
K
M
F
M
K
J
B
A
A
You
know
if
there's
500
or
400
or
300.
How
do
those
differences
affect
our
cost
to
operate
the
facility?
You
know,
because
it's
an
important
facility
and
then
there's
these
kind
of
decisions
too,
that
we
can
make
in
investing
in
different
initiatives
that
can
influence
those
numbers
which
cost
money,
but
also
might
save
money.
So
just
at
a
high
level,
if
there's
a
way
that
we
could
kind
of
understand
those
different
scenarios.
D
A
If
people
have
comments
I'd,
certainly
you
know,
I
think
it's
fine
to
share
them,
even
though
we're
not
going
to
take
specific
votes
on
this,
but
avril
did
you.
I
just
didn't,
know
yeah
in
terms
of
jasmine's
point.
I
don't
know
how
specific
you
were
looking
for
the
feedback
to
be
today
versus
sort
of
taking
this
information
in
we're
going
to
have
subsequent
kind
of
follow-up
meetings
about
this.
How
specific
are
you
looking
for
feedback
today
on
different
questions.
B
If
it's
an
absolute
no,
then
I
would
like
to
get
that
guidance
today,
but
our
recommendation
is
to
continue
this
work
because
it
is
so
impactful
on
the
jail
population.
I
think
this
is
one
of
the
strategies
that
we
help
to
use
to
bring
that
numbers
down.
So
it's
in
the
budget
as
a
recommendation,
but
if
it
was
an
absolute
no
from
this
board,
then
I
would
like
to
get
that
guidance,
because
these
expenditures
help
to
guide
the
revenue
conversation.
The
next
time
around.
A
Right,
so
if
people
have
concerns
about
a
particular
budget
item,
you
know
you
can
certainly
raise
those,
but
don't
feel
like
today's
meeting.
Is
your
only
chance
to
say:
hey,
wait,
a
second,
I'm
not
sure
that's
a
top
priority
for
me.
If
I
have
to
choose
between
this
and
other
things,
there's
going
to
be
plenty
of
other
chances
to
take
all
this
in
and
then
give
further
feedback
on
the
things
that
we
really
want
to
make
sure
stay
in
versus
things
that
might
be
lower
priorities.
So
this
is
that
initial
discussion
all
right.
H
B
Right,
but
if
it
was
guaranteed,
then
this
we
were
expecting
it
money,
but
there's
no
guarantee,
so
the
hope
would
be
if
this
program
is
to
continue.
We
need
that
funding
from
the
county
county
coffers.
So
if
that's
the
case,
that
is
why
it's
here,
but
if
money
does
come
from
funding,
we'll
come
back
to
the
board
and
appropriate
that
money
and
then
don't
have
to
use
the
county
money,
but
I
didn't
want
to
go
into
the
year
without
this
conversation
and
then
come
back
later.
Of
course,.
H
C
H
E
N
N
I
think
well,
it's
part
of
the
nature
of
paramedics
that
they're
used
to
working
these
hours.
They
prefer
these
overtime
hours.
We've
not
had
a
lot
of
ability
to
hire
paramedics
on
only
a
20
80
hour,
because
at
the
hour
standard
hourly
rate
of
a
paramedic
it
just
it's
not
that
substantial
to
so
they
expect
to
build
an
overtime,
allows
them
they're
accustomed
to
that,
and
that's
the
culture
of
sorry.
B
I'll
jump
in
as
well,
they
actually
work
a
12
hour
shift,
so
it
makes
it
a
little
bit
harder
to
just
do
your
regular
eight
hours
because
of
that
12
hour
shift.
We
have
talked
before
about
going
down
eight
eight-hour
shift,
but
to
go
to
an
eight-hour
shift
for
24
hours.
You
then
have
to
have
a
whole
neta
crew,
so
it
is
much
cheaper
to
do
the
overtime
at
12-hour
shift
than
it
would
be
to
hire
another
crew
to
do
three
eight-hour
shifts
per
day.
A
M
B
B
D
B
Enough
but
it'd
be
more
expensive
to
hire
another
shift
because
I
believe,
there's
a
two
or
three:
how
many
per
minutes
for
shift
three
per
truck,
so
it'd
be
three
for
every
truck
if
you're
thinking
about
that
to
get
to
eight
hour
shifts,
but
then
there's
a
handoff
between
when
they
get
off
and
when
they
come
on
so
the
staggered
time.
So
it's
automatic
overtime
after
that
12
hours.
A
E
B
B
K
A
Build
it
out
into
the
future,
expand
it.
There
were
going
to
be
more
staffs
here,
then
perhaps
you
know,
perhaps
the
the
change
in
the
shift
schedule
might
actually
make
sense.
I
mean
what
I'm
hearing
is
like
to
just.
If
you're
only
going
to
hire
a
few
additional
people,
then
you
have
to
kind
of
do
it
this
way,
because
you
won't
have
enough
staff
to
shift
more
than
the
12-hour
shifts,
but
if
it
were
a
bigger
program,
then
perhaps
different
structures
might
make
more
sense.
To
consider
at
that
point.
B
Yeah
really
just
the
way
it's
kind
of,
and
we
can
have
that.
We
can
add
that
to
the
mix
for
this
specific
program,
not
the
ambulance
services,
because
that
12-hour
shift
works
for
them,
but
on
the
community
paramedicine
side,
we
can
think
through
that,
because
there'd
be
social
workers
and
other
types
of
work
that
will
be
done
here.
So
we
can
think
through
what
that
would
look
like
as
we
build
this
out.
B
C
So,
similar
to
previous
years,
we
are
bringing
forward
areas
and
amounts
that
staff
need
guidance
from
you
all
on
they
are
outlined
here.
These
items
are
not
currently
included
in
the
first
pass.
Expenditure
amounts
in
our
various
meetings
with
you
since
december.
We've
documented
items
and
amounts,
as
it
relates
to
the
desire
to
progress
the
strategic
plan
priorities.
C
C
C
C
In
recent
weeks,
there's
been
information
that
the
local
fiscal
recovery
dollars
could
be
an
eligible
funding
source
for
broadband.
Therefore,
consideration
of
this
project
would
need
to
be
determined
by
you
for
a
general
fund
or
prioritize
for
local
fiscal
recovery
dollars
if
your
desire
is
to
support
it.
C
E
C
E
C
B
We've
heard,
I
think,
from
two
commissioners
specifically
for
these
list
of
numbers:
we've
also
heard
from
replacing
money
from
ncdot,
which
is
something
that
we
would
need
for
you
to
weigh
in
on,
if
you're
taking
on
the
state
level
funding
and
if
there's
others
that
we're
missing,
please
we
want
to
make
sure
we
have
that
complete
list
and
then
again,
if
it's
a
hard.
No,
then
we
need
to
know
that.
K
K
B
Think
it
was
funding
loss
based
on
your
budget
from
pre-code,
so
I
think
they
were
looking
at
if
you
were
lost
sales,
tax
or
property
tax,
or
something
like
that,
because
I'm
not
sure
they're
talking
about
state
level
funding,
but
that's
something
that
we
can
put
on
our
list.
As
we
get
more
guidance,
we
can
ask.
C
J
I
E
E
E
B
And
we
will
bring
that
back
to
you
because
you're
correct,
we
did
an
rfp
and
before
we
can
award
that
we
are
working
through,
we
did
have
a
broadband
work
group
steering
committee
and
that
commissioner
wells
has
been
gracious
to
serve
on
before
she
was
a
commissioner.
So
she
was
very
involved
in
this
even
then,
but
we
will
bring
that
back
to
you
before
we
can
award
a
contract,
so
we
would
figure
out
those
answers
and
negotiate
with
them
and
bring
that
to
you
now.
B
J
Which
is
really
great
timing
with
all
this
potential,
because
we're
already
very
well
positioned,
so
we
we
definitely
need
to
pro.
In
my
opinion,
prioritize
broadband
keep
this
in
the
budget
and
then
obviously,
if
we're
able
to
use
the
the
extra
funds
correct,
then
we'd
be
able
to
do
that.
But
we
wouldn't
want
to
kick
this
out
of
the
budget
right
now
and
not
have
that
placeholder
when
we
have
this
re,
these
requests
for
proposals
and
the
potential
to
actually
move
that
needle
so
again,.
A
D
B
B
A
Okay,
but
now
that
we
have
the
recovery
funds,
which
we
did
not
know,
we
would
have,
but
they
have
to
be
spending
three
years
correct
right,
so
that
is
is
the
is
the
thinking
that
perhaps
we
just
accelerate
this.
Since
we
have
funding,
that's
not
going
to
have
to
come
out
of
the
general
fund
for
this
purpose,
but
which
in
fact
needs
to
be
allocated
sooner
and
which,
of
course,
we
would
want
to
see
the
improvements
happen
sooner
so.
A
B
The
current
thinking
is,
would
you
allocate
two
million
or
more
of
the
10
million
for
this,
for
this
funding
from
that
51
million?
So
if
you
were
to
say,
we
know
it's
10
million.
If
you
want
to
allocate
the
three
years
of
6
million
from
this,
we
could
move
that
faster
and
spend
that
6
million.
If
your
decision
would
be
only
going
to
do
2
million.
A
Again,
we
haven't
gotten
to
the
bigger
discussion
about
the
around
the
recovery
funds,
yet
maybe
we'll
end
up
realizing
gosh.
We
could
we've
got
a
hundred
million
dollars
worth
of
ideas
here
and
there's.
You
know,
I
don't
know
how
that's
going
to
turn
out
yet
because
we're
just
getting
started,
but
I
guess
the
simple
way
I
was
thinking
about
it
was
why
don't
we
spend
10
million
dollars,
use
all
recovery
funds
and
do
it
in
three
years.
B
That's
fine.
That
would
be.
That
would
be
one
option
or
you
could
take
it
again
and
use
more
recovery
money
for
other
options,
but
absolutely
our
thought
would
be.
Broadband
is
eligible,
so
we
would
not
be
asking
you
for
the
two
million
from
general
fund
on
this
list.
It's
on
the
list
because
we
collected
all
these
data
throughout
the
year,
but
our
plan
would
be
to
set
that
two
million
dollars
aside
and
you're,
actually
looking
at
1.9
from
general
fund
right
now.
Okay,.
D
G
Range
on
those
proposals
varied
substantially,
but
what
we're
doing
right
now
is
going
through
an
evaluation
process
on
those
proposals
is
an
active
procurement.
So
I
don't
want
to
speak
too
much
to
the
specific
details
or
the
vendors,
but
we
did
see
a
range
on
the
cost
and
we're
negotiating
those.
Now.
G
G
We
actually,
the
rfp
that
was
developed,
speaks
to
both.
So
we
spoke
to
access
extending
access
into
more
rural
areas
where
infrastructure
doesn't
exist,
but
we
also
had
a
very
specific
component
of
the
rfp
around
affordability
and
accessibility,
which
tends
to
be
what
we
think
of
it
as
more
of
an
in-town
or
urban
issue.
A
B
A
Funding,
I'm
excited
about
the
list
too.
The
I
have
one
specific
question
on
the
mountain
mobility
mat,
so
this
is
259
000,
but
this
would
simply
maintain
current
services,
so
this,
unfortunately,
would
be
having
to
spend
money
not
to
do
some
fun
new
things,
but
just
to
keep
what
we
to
keep
what
we
have.
This
isn't
for
trailblazer
operations.
Is
it
this
is
for
senior
citizen
mobility
access.
Could
you
just
tell
us
a
little
bit
more
about
what's
at
stake?
If
we
don't.
O
D
O
O
Then
we
roll
over
into
5310,
which
is
a
competitive
grant
process,
matched
with
rope
funding
and
then,
when
those
funds
run
out,
we
use
the
bounce
of
rope
funding.
So
that
gap
is
one
of
the
least
restrictive
in
terms
of
how
it
can
be
used
outside
of
you
know
which
the
general
population
is,
and
it
can
be
a
match
dollar
to
federal
dollars.
O
I
A
I
think
there
was
a
did.
I
see
a
slide
that
has
more
details
about
this
somewhere
else
in
the
presentation
I
feel
like.
I
did
okay
right,
I
guess
just
on
this
item
right
so
yeah.
This
is
mentioned
in
the
this
one
page
handout
there's
a
paragraph
on
it.
If
we
could
just
if
we
could
just
get
a
little
bit
more
detail,
I
mean
naturally,
I
don't
think
anybody's
excited
about
the
idea
of
losing
services,
but
just
it
is
a
lot
of
money.
A
A
That
level
of
detail
would
be
helpful
to,
I
think
so,
other
other
questions
or
comments
at
this
time.
On
these
items,
we
are
going
to
talk
more
about
just
kind
of
general
use
of
recovery
funds
in
a
little
while
so
in
terms
of
like
what
are
the
commission's
ideas
or
interest
in
that,
that's
going
to
be
another
chance
to
kind
of
talk
about
new
things
that
we
can
do,
but
again
they're
going
to
have
to
kind
of
fit
within
that
eligible
eligibility
for
those
funds.
A
G
E
But
one
would
be
a
county-wide
transit
master
plan.
Another
would
be
funding
for
watershed,
restoration
or
or
stream.
Restoration
improvements
did
all
the
increased
flooding
that
we're
seeing
if
you
drove
around
last
week
or
at
all,
you
might
have
seen
some
of
that,
which
is
only
going
to
get
get
worse.
E
I
A
A
That
you,
that
you
really
think
are
probably
not
going
to
be
potential
recovery
act
funds
then
now
is
a
good
time
to
mention
them.
I've
got
several
that
I'm
probably
going
to
hold
for
that
discussion,
because
I'm
hopeful
that
they're
going
to
be
recovery
act
funds.
If
the
answer
comes
back
no
they're,
not,
then
I
might
want
to
kind
of
like
pull
them
back
into
kind
of
like
all
right.
Well,
how
else
could
we
figure
out
how
to
fund
them?
But
if
you're
it's
something.
K
I
A
B
G
E
A
I
think
those
books
sound
like
you
know
you
know
important
issues
to
be
looking
at.
As
with
a
number
of
other
items,
I
think
there's
kind
of
this
question
around.
Do
we
put
those
into
the
comprehensive
plan
study
process
versus
trying
to
do
something
you
know
stand-alone
so
I'll,
just
kind
of
I'm
not.
I
don't
have
a
personal
opinion.
A
Question
but
I
know
that
from
a
process
standpoint
there's
different
ways
of
doing
it
right.
So,
but
again,
if
there
are
some,
if
we
can
do
some
distinct
studies
like
that
using
recovery
funds,
then
that
might
might
be
a
good
way
to
do
it
so
other
any
other
ideas
right
now
for
things
that
are
likely
not
recovery
funds
eligible
that
folks
would
like
to
just
you
know,
elevate
for
discussion
at
this
time.
A
Okay,
you
know,
I
know,
there's
some
other
information
elsewhere
in
the
presentation
about
this,
so
I'm
happy
to
hold
off
for
there.
I
know
there's
some
in
some
of
the
other
financial
documents,
there's
some
discussions
about
like
some
of
the
renewable
projects
that
are
on
the
radar
screen
for
this
year
and
also
what
look
kind
of
like
placeholder
numbers
for
future
years.
C
So
so
this
concludes
my
portion
of
the
presentation
and
I
will
turn
it
over
to
john
hudson
who's.
One
of
our
budget
analysts
who's
been
the
primary
lead
for
our
capital
planning
project
process
and
then,
following
that,
eric
growl,
with
our
it
department
will
be
here
to
present
information
related
to
information
technology
recommended
projects
for
fiscal
year
2022.
So
that's
where
I
would
look
to
for
you
to
you
know,
ask
questions
or
if
the
detail
doesn't
come
out
in
that
conversation,
definitely
ask
the
questions.
A
So
I'll
just
I'll
just
I
could
say
at
a
high
level
now
I
know
there's
a
couple
projects
identified,
they
sound
great
to
me
and
some
future
placeholder
numbers
that
we'll
see
for
future
fiscal
years.
The
one
thing
I
would
say
on
the
like
energy
side
is
that
I
want
us
to
make
sure
we
have
resources
budgeted
to
basically
plan
future
projects
right,
like
these
projects,
like
like
any
of
these
other
planning
initiatives
that
we
talk
about.
For
you
know
water
quality
or
transit
or
comp
plan.
A
A
So
I
want
to
make
sure
we
have
resources
to
do
those
kinds
of
future
projects,
because
a
lot
of
these,
like
the
the
plan
we
did
last
year
it
took-
I
don't
know
it-
took
a
couple
of
years
to
plan
it
and
and
other
kinds
of
projects
can
can
also
have
long
lead
time.
So
I
just
I
think
we
have
to
think
about
like
future
we're
going
to
get
to
these
goals
like
we
have
to
have
a
pipeline
of
projects
that
actually
happen,
and
so
that's
that's
something
I
just
would
say.
A
Okay,
so-
and
I
know,
there's
some
placeholder
numbers
in
the
budgets
for
those
kinds
of
things
so,
but
I
wasn't
sure
exactly
how
they're
being
vision
envisioned
in
terms
of
just
like
actual
actual
installation
costs
for
doing
something
on
a
library
or
something
else
or
versus
sort
of
planning
planning
resources.
But
we
will
come.
I
think
this
will
come
up
again.
I
Q
N
N
We
opened
the
date
for
those
requests
on
august
17th,
the
capital
review
team
also
reviewed
and
revised
our
capital
improvement
policy
and
procedures
last
fall
and
and
the
copy
of
those
that
reviewed
the
policy
and
procedures
was
disseminated
to
you
in
the
fall
november.
20Th
we
closed
these
the
window
for
submit
requests
and
the
capital
review
team
began
their
work
on
looking
at
those
requests
and
deciding
what
we
would
bring
forward
to
the
to
the
budget
process.
N
So
the
recommended
projects
for
the
general
fund
for
fiscal
year
22
are
as
follows:
there's
a
building
automation
system
for
the
detention
software
that
controls
the
hvac
system.
The
software
is
almost
obsolete.
So
this
is
a
important
high
priority
project,
a
911
backup
center
we're
discussing
consolidation
efforts
with
the
city
of
asheville
between
our
dispatchers
and
their
dispatchers.
N
Regardless
of
how
those
consolidation
talks
go
asheville
currently
provides
a
backup
center
for
us.
If
we
do
not
consolidate
with
asheville,
we
will
need
a
different
space,
and
if
we
do
consolidate
with
asheville,
we
will
need
a
larger
backup
space.
So,
regardless
of
how
those
discussions
go,
we
will
need
a
backup
center
as
that's
mandated
by
state
law.
N
We
have
considered
a
phase
two
of
solar
panel
installation.
This
would
be
solar
panels
on
the
east,
asheville
library
and
the
firing
range
at
the
public
safety
training
center
and
where
we
held
our
last
budget
retreat
a
paddle
boat
replacement
for
lake
julian,
an
additional
new
restroom
facility
for
the
buncombe
county
sports
park.
N
I
believe
that
to
accommodate
the
number
of
crowds
number
of
visitors
they
see
at
the
park
that
they
there
should
be
yet
another
restroom
facility,
an
upgrade
at
the
owen
park,
playground
an
accessible
boat
launch
at
lake
julian
bathroom
additions
at
lake
julian.
Those
bathrooms
are
old
and
aged,
and
there
could
be
some
concerns
about
the
underground
plumbing
and
such
as
we
moved
through
that
project.
N
The
administration
building
this
building
the
envelope
repair.
There
was
exterior
job
done
on
the
windows
last
year
because
of
leakage,
and
that
uncovered
more
significant
work
to
be
done
on
this
building,
and
so
we're
looking
about
two
and
a
half
million
dollars
to
repair
that
building
this
building,
and
then
we,
then
we
felt
that
there
was
a
need
for
a
dog
park
for
the
county.
We
don't
have
an
existing
dog
park
and
this
is
in
part,
as
part
of
the
anchor
destination
grant.
We
dog
parks
would
be
put
out
at
the
buncombe
county
sports
park.
N
Are
there
any
questions
about
these
recommended
projects?
You
can
see
that
what
the
funding
nature
is
pay
go
means
pay
as
you
go.
That
would
be
cash
that
we
would
take
from
the
general
fund
and
do
an
interfund
transfer
to
the
capital
projects
fund
and
those
items
that
that
say,
debt.
We
would
go
out
for
debt
on
and
combine
those
with
other
projects
on
an
annual
basis
when
we
have
accumulated
enough
expenditures
to
go
out
for
debt.
N
N
Q
S
N
In
business,
and
apparently
he
built
a
couple
buildings
for
mission
as
well
that
have
similar
issues,
but
there
is
there's
building
exterior.
That
has
to
be
done
with
the
flashing
was
not
installed
properly
and
it
has
and
brings
up
some
leakage
issues,
and-
and
so
we
need
to
eliminate
water
intrusion
and
air
infiltration.
N
B
Commissioners,
if
you
recall
when
mike
was
here
last,
we
actually
did
some
discovery
on
the
building,
because
we
thought
the
windows
were
what
was
leaking
and
every
time
it
rained
the
building
would
leak
and
when
they
pulled
the
exterior
off.
They
realized
that
the
flashing
around
the
windows
weren't
completed,
and
then
there
was
a
lot
of
issues
around
with
tie-ins
as
well.
So
we
do
need
to
do
some
significant
repair
work
on
the
exterior
envelope.
The
brick
wasn't
always
tied.
In
specifically,
the
ties
they
used
were
wrong
at
that
time.
F
N
Q
N
I
think
we've
we
build
a
lot
of
that
into
our
con
construction
contracts
now
and,
and
our
general
services
department
does
put
in
language
to
protect
us
in
those
sorts
of
situations,
and
but
again
this
was
a
particular.
This
was
outdates
most
of
the
folks
who
were
working
in
that
group
now
and-
and
so
we
would,
we
would
expect
that,
through
our
contract
language
and
through
the
contractors
we
work
with,
that,
we
would
be
able
to
alleviate
those
concerns
if
they
came
up
again.
J
N
N
I
E
N
H
A
A
You
know
to
get
to
our
goals:
we're
going
to
need
to
be
doing
really
large
scale
projects
and
just
doing
a
couple
of
small
installations
each
year
won't
won't
get
us
to
our
goals,
at
least
not
on
the
I'd
like
for
us
to
get
to
our
goals
ahead
of
schedule.
I
think
just
you
know
we'll
need
to
be
doing
more
than
this
annually
to
get
to
our
goals.
So
it's
part
of
the
reason
I
you
know
just
I
want
us
to
make
sure
we're
thinking.
A
We
have
the
capacity
to
think
about
bigger
projects,
so
I
think
we
need
some
kind
of
subcommittee
working
on
this
because
there's
a
lot
of
planning
work
and
I
think
it's
going
to
take
creative
thinking
around
how
to
do
that.
So
I'm
certainly
supportive
of
these,
but
I
also
want
us
to
have
a
process
to
make
sure
we're
thinking
about.
I
A
Out
there,
which
well
just
like
the
last
round,
cost
some
money
to
do,
but
in
all
likelihood
will
probably
save
us
even
more
money.
So
I
just
I'm
very
supportive
of
these
projects,
but
I
also
think
we
I'm
just
interested
in
the
kind
of
the
process
for
planning
for
for
future
projects
this
year,
and
you
know,
over
a
multi-year
period-
is.
T
A
A
Think
creatively
about
you
know
what
are
those
few
future
future
opportunities
so
anyway,
those
are
just
just
some
feedback,
but
I
appreciate
that
that
we
have
committed
to
a
big
bundle
of
projects,
and
just
following,
through
successfully
on
that
is,
is
going
to
be
a
lot
of
work
for
sure.
So,
if
if
there
are
other,
you
know,
the
project
manager
sounds
great.
If
there
are
other
resources
we
need
either
in
terms
of
outside
engineering,
support
or
internal
capacity.
I
would
certainly
be
open
to
hearing
it.
I
N
These
are
projects
for
our
solid
waste
enterprise
fund.
The
enterprise
fund
is
self-sustaining,
with
the
revenue,
so
the
pego
projects
are
well
within
their
their
ability
to
cover
and
they
would
go
out
for
debt
on
the
two
larger
projects
and
and
with
the
these
are
projects
that,
with
the
consistent,
consistently
growing
amount
of
need
for
solid
waste
projects,
we're
meeting
demand
and
dane.
N
We
are
looking
at
a
major
construction
of
our
cell
7
municipal,
solid
waste
and
also
our
phase
7
of
construction
and
demolition.
Those
are
his
big
debt
projects
he's
also
looking
at
covering
a
gas
collection,
control
system,
expansion,
a
floor,
trailer
for
transfer
station,
hauling
and
six
semi
trucks
for
transfer
station
hauling,
as
well
as
a
compost
feasibility
study,
so
that
dane
has
also
put
together,
that
is,
in
your
larger
packet.
A
five-year
plan
of
projects
for
solid
waste.
E
E
E
E
N
T
E
T
N
There
should
have
been
a
larger
capital
project
packet.
You
received
that's
about
80
pages
and
in
that
packet
you'll
find
the
five-year
cip
that
dane's
planned
out
for
for
his
solid
waste
department.
Okay,
and
if
you
have
further
questions,
we
can
take
those
out
if
you
review
that
material
and
get
back.
Thank
you.
D
Q
I
I
D
N
A
N
I
N
Gonna
pull
that
up
right
now
so
right
here
I
have
the
five-year
general
fund.
This
may
be
very
hard
to
see.
This
is
in
your
packet
and
under
the
fy
22
column,
you
can
see
all
the
projects
that
we've
just
discussed
today
and
the,
and
there
are
placeholders
for
some
of
these
projects.
I
I
do
have
some
details.
Some
of
these
projects
are
simply
placeholders
that
we've
been
holding
for
a
long
time
and
we
don't
have
a
lot
of
detail
about
what
that
project
looks
like.
I
B
A
A
S
A
Dollars
for
reasons
that
are
always
hard
to
understand,
but
if
you
just
build
it
when
you're
building
the
road,
it's
like,
basically
you're
paying
for
the
extra
materials.
So
I
think
this
is
a
bargain
for
us
as
a
community
to
get
this
multimodal
infrastructure
built
up
front
when
the
rest
of
the
project
is
included.
So,
for
those
reasons
I'm
just,
I
think
it's
great
that
we
have
this
in
our
budget,
even
though
we're
not
exactly
sure
what
future
year
would
actually
happen.
N
B
I
wanted
to
bring
your
attention
as
well,
because
we
are
trying
to
plan
a
five
year
schedule,
so
if
you
notice
in
23
there's
some
big
costs
that
are
also
coming
that
we
want
to
think
through.
But
I
wanted
you
to
pay
attention
to
this
as
you
go
through
your
packet
just
to
give
some
awareness
around
trying
to
get
that
five-year.
Look
as
you
go
into
this.
B
N
B
A
I
guess
you
know
this
kind
of
goes
to
maybe
their
the
discussion
about
the
recovery
funds,
but
for
the
capital
projects
like
a
lot
of
the
recreational
assets,
I'm
kind
of
working
under
an
assumption
that
a
lot
of
those
probably
will
end
up
being
eligible
right,
because
you
can
make
a
good
argument.
These
recreational
assets
will
be
used
by
people
who
visit
our
community.
It's
you
know
it's
there'll,
be
economic
development
benefits
from
those
outdoor
recreation
assets
and
other
amenities.
B
We
will
look
to
our.
We
will
look
to
our
existing
plans
for
projects
like
sustainability,
like
recreation
and
even
our
facility
plan.
That
john
mentioned,
as
we
get
guidance
from
the
federal
government,
how
we
can
spend
that
money.
We
will
look
to
our
existing
plans
to
bring
forward
projects
with
you,
as
well
as
the
projects
that
you're
going
to
give
us
later
today.
To
consider.
A
D
G
J
Just
tying
in
with
what
brownie
said
the
I
agree
with
him
about
the
recreation
yeah.
Can
you
hear
me
now?
Okay,
I
agree
with
him
about
the
capital
projects
with
recreation,
and
also
it
makes
me
wonder
about
the
mobile
unit
that
you
have
here
in
23
the
100
000
toward
that,
because
it's
the
mobile
hhs
unit
potentially.
Would
you
think
that
funding
for
that
could
work.
B
That
could
possibly
be
a
funding
because
it's
public
health
and
that
could
that
would
have
helped
us
with
covid.
So,
yes
ma'am,
we
would
first
look
at
our
capital
projects
that
have
already
been
laid
out.
We
will
look
to
the
projects
that
you're
developing
now
as
part
of
how
we
would
bring
forward
to
you
when
we
start
spending
that
money
as
soon
as
guidance
comes
out,
then
that
can
really
help
us
focus
on
what
is
available.
N
J
D
D
I
L
On
the
it
governance
process
for
fy22,
so
what
is
the
I.t
governance
process?
Well,
it's
a
set
of
procedures
and
policies.
So
we
can
make
good
decisions
on
our
technology
acquisitions
for
upcoming
years.
We're
done
looking
at
over
five
thousand
dollars
of
costs.
It
is
a
committee
of
ten
staff
members.
L
I
F
D
L
L
Internal
efficiencies
et
cetera,
that
process
was
evaluated
by
the
committee,
scored,
etc,
and
then
recommendations
were
presented
to
avril
the
county
manager
on
what
to
move
forward
with
and
present
for
you
today,
acms
had
a
lot
of
say
in
that
too,
but
by
and
large,
the
the
committee
scored
these
projects
based
on
the
criteria
and
presented
them
for
recommendation
so
similar
to
the
capital.
We
were
asked
to
put
a
five-year
project
plan
together.
L
I'm
sorry
this
is
pretty
small,
but
I
think
you
have
it
in
your
pack
in
front
of
you
I'll
just
go
through
these
real
quickly.
So
for
fy22,
the
first
one
is
office,
365,
backup
solution.
In
fact,
2020
was
a
huge
year
of
us
going
to
office
365
to
support
all
the
hybrid
work
and
remote
work,
and
things
like
that.
So
it's
a
cloud-based
solution
like
any
of
our
data
assets.
We
need
to
back
them
up
and
preserve
them.
L
L
Making
sure
that
we
are
reaching
out
to
those
businesses
when
we
have
rfps,
so
this
portal
is
going
to
allow
some
of
that
processes.
The
public
records
request
management
tool.
We
have
lots
of
public
records
requests
every
week.
Three
pios
in
in
the
county,
general
government
sheriff
and
hhs
has
a
pio.
L
L
To
our
public
records,
request
system
power,
bi
cloud
service,
another
cloud
solution:
here
we
love
our
data
and
analytics
in
the
county.
We've
been
doing
that
mostly
on-prem,
but
this
solution
allows
us
to
integrate
with
all
the
office
365
work,
we're
doing,
and
collaborate
and
share
outside
of
buncombe
county
as
well
in
a
much
more
efficient
manner
and
secure
manner.
So
our
other
partner
agencies,
our
community
partners.
This
is
a
way
that
we
can
share
and
collaborate
with
data
analysis.
L
The
next
one
is
the
big
ticket
item
for
this
year.
It's
the
enterprise,
budgeting
tool.
This
is
built
into
our
erp
system
and,
right
now
I
think
budget
can
speak
to
this
more
than
I
can.
But
it's
a
spreadsheet
process
predominantly-
and
this
puts
it
all
inside
of
our
erp
system
and
really
focuses
on
lots
of
opportunities
to
refine
the
budget,
make
sure
we
are
budgeting
appropriately.
L
This
is
for
our
probably
our
cape
team.
There's
lots
of
uses
for
community
engagement
platform,
things
like
everything,
from
participatory
budgeting
to
feedback,
and
you
know
what
do
you
want?
Let's
talk
about
sidewalks
or
those
kinds
of
things,
so
a
real
way
to
get
community
involved
in
government.
L
The
online
customer
relations
portal
is
similar
in
in
this
way.
This
is
eventuality,
and
this
is
going
to
be
a
full
online
service,
catalog
quickly,
search
and
find
all
the
different
services.
I
believe
the
first
real
push
is
around
complaint
management
and
things
like
that,
so
right
now
kind
of
going
all
different
directions.
This
is
a
centralized
portal.
They'll
get
put
into
one
of
our
case
management
systems,
and
these
type
of
issues
will
be
tracked
holistically
throughout
the
county.
L
That's
for
fy22
is
called
the
papercut
print
release
terminals.
This
is
self
printing,
essentially
at
our
libraries,
kiosk-based
printing
right
now.
It's
a
very
manual
process
with
our
library,
assistants,
collecting
money
working
with
the
citizens
to
print.
This
is
essentially
self-printing
I'll
go
through
these
next
ones,
just
real
quickly,
but
just
maybe
similar
to
the
capital
five-year
plan.
The
it
five-year
plan
is
probably
gonna,
be
pretty
fluid
as
new
things
come
up
last
year.
We
did
this
process
and
some
things
just
ended
up
in
different
years.
L
L
So
for
some
of
those
board
and
agenda
management
solution
faster
upgrade.
That's
our
fleet
management
system,
coupe
systems,
that's
continuity
of
operations.
You
can
think
of
that
as
disaster
planning,
food
and
lodging
we
actually
our
vendor
in
this
space,
has
been
bought
out
and
we
are
going
to
need
to
migrate
the
system
into
one
of
our
current
systems.
That
represents
that
a
few
more
cobblestone,
that's
our
document,
our
our
contract
management
system,
again
around
vendor
collaboration
and
e-signatures
facility
dude.
That's
our
facilities,
management
system,
webvoc!
L
Well,
that's
for
emergency
operations
center.
It's
a
platform
to
manage
emergency
operations.
We
currently
use
the
state
system,
and
but
this
system
will
allow
us
to
create
our
own
events
and
manage
those
independently
of
the
state
tax
assessment
combined
personal
and
real
property
assessment.
We
currently
have
all
of
our
personal
business
property
in
one
system
and
our
real
property
and
another
system,
and
this
is
his
desire
to
consolidate
those
systems.
L
L
G
D
L
Pretty
high
level
and
pretty
fast,
these
are
county
management's
recommendations
through
the
itdc
governance
process.
There
is
one
more
slide,
there's
a
couple.
Other
funds
that
are
at
play
here,
the
911
fund,
which
is
reimbursable.
This
is
the
emergency
fire
dispatch
protocol
tools.
So
when
you
call
9-1-1
a
series
of
questions
that
they
go
through
to
help
get
the
right
response,
we
already
have
this
in
place
for
ems
and
law,
and
then
the
last
one
is
an
inter-departmental
case
management
system.
This
will
be
grant
funded.
L
A
A
B
One
of
the
things
we
mentioned
to
you
previous
four:
six:
zero,
nine,
two,
five,
four:
six:
zero,
nine,
two,
five
and
she's.
Getting
that
ready.
One
of
the
things
we
mentioned
to
you
when
we
first
heard
this
money
is
the
need
for
some
positions
that
we
would
need
to
bring
forward
to
help
manage
this.
So
on
your
agenda
for
the
april
6,
you
will
see
us
asking
for
positions
that
would
give
us
a
head
start
to
at
least
get
the
job
advertised,
but
we
would
not.
B
B
P
P
P
Local
fiscal
recovery
funds
and
buncombe
county's
estimated
allocation
as
part
of
this
fund
will
be
approximately
50
million
dollars.
You
can
see
the
number
written
on
the
screen
between
50
and
51
million
dollars.
That's
still
an
estimate
that
we're
getting
from
naco,
which
is
the
national
association
from
of
counties.
P
A
A
So
it
specifically
means
water,
sewer
and
broadband,
but
is
the
language
I
mean?
Is
there
some
potential
that
it
might
be
a
broader
set
of
infrastructure,
or
is
the
sense
that,
like
those
were
the
infrastructure
pieces
that
were
specifically
named
so
probably
you
know,
other
types
of
infrastructure,
probably
not.
P
P
Yes
and
I'll
get
to
the
neco
item
in
just
a
second.
Let
me
talk
about
the
buncombe
process
for
this,
so
we
talk
to
you
about
having
a
60
to
90
day
planning
process.
That's
ambitious
part
of
that
will
depend
on
what
you
know
how
quickly
this
guidance
gets
turned
around
to
us
and
we
have
more
instructions.
P
Our
next
stage
is
to
gather
ideas
from
departments
we
talked
about
looking
at
the
it
list,
the
capital
list,
other
projects
that
departments
may
be
aware
of
and
want
to
submit
from
community
partners
in
the
general
public.
Our
planning
team
met
yesterday
and
discussed
using
a
survey
for
the
general
public
and
then
potentially
later
on
in
the
process,
an
invitation
like
more
of
an
rfp
style
structure
to
get
ideas
from
eligible
non-profit
organizations.
P
This
is
all
still
quite
in
development.
Nonetheless,
once
we've
got
all
of
the
priorities
in,
we
will
run
them
through
a
prioritization
process
using
a
standardized
scoring
criteria.
That's
similar
to
the
process
that
we
use
for
the
last
two
topics
you
heard
about
like
when
we're
looking
at
it
investments,
capital
investments,
we
would
have
a
team
in
a
predefined
set
of
criteria
which
we'll
visit
later,
but
would
include
things
like.
P
F
P
Earlier
there
was
a
small
discussion
about
broadband.
We
need
some
definition
of
what
broadband
means
within
the
context
of
this
particular
bill:
capital,
investment
equipment
and
software,
some
more
definition
around
aid
to
impacted
industries
and
assistance
to
households,
some
more
definition
around
education
product
projects.
P
Those
last
three
that
I
mentioned
also
have
funding
coming
their
way
from
other
sections
of
the
american
rescue
plan.
So
that's
another
component
that
we
are
and
state
funding
in
some
cases.
So,
sort
of
triaging
and
watching
once
we've
got
our
collection
of
potential
ideas,
not
only
what
is
eligible
for
use
of
fund
within
local
fiscal
recovery
funds,
but
what
is
most
in
need
of
fund
in
terms
of
maximizing
other
potential
funding
sources,
whether
they
emanate
from
the
american
rescue
plan
or
other
sources.
P
So
considerations.
I
was
just
touching
on
this
wanting
to
make
sure
that
there's
alignment
with
the
strategic
plan
priorities
we're
in
year
one
of
a
five-year
strategic
plan
as
a
county
government
and
have
that
laid
out
for
us
priorities
that
are
both
community
focused
and
foundational,
focused,
so
outside
kind
of
buncombe
county
as
a
community.
And
then
internal
buncombe
county
is
a
governmental
entity
and
want
to
have
balance
so
that
we're
we
have
projects,
support
portfolio
projects
representing
both
areas,
considering
equity
and
equitable
outcomes,
and
support
for
most
impacted
populations.
P
P
And
finally,
the
place
that
will
pause
the
slides
and
open
for
a
conversation
is
the
this
kind
of
initial
brainstorm
list
of
potential
recovery
fund
priorities.
This
was
populated,
based
on
informal
conversations
that
we've
heard
between
when
we
heard
the
these
funding.
This
funding
had
been
approved
and
was
coming
our
way
to
now.
This
is
really
just
to
get
the
conversation
flowing.
P
You
all
have
a
few
ideas
that
came
to
the
table
already
during
this
conversation
and
staff
have
taken
note
of
those
suggestions,
and
you
all
have
also
expressed
that
you've
come
in
with
some
other
ideas,
so
I
spoke
with
the
chairman
in
advance,
and
I
think
that
this
would
be
a
good
time
for
me
to
pass
to
you
and
you
facilitate
that
conversation
we'll
be
here
to
listen
and
then
wrap
up
at
the
end.
Is
that
good.
A
You
know
this
is
very
unique.
Probably
none
of
us
will
see
something
like
this
again
during
the
time
that
we
are
serving
in
this
elected
capacity.
I
you
know
I
have
done
this
for
a
while.
I've
never
seen
anything
quite
like
this,
so
we
need
to
invest
these
funds
really
strategically
in
ways
that
people
will
look
back
and
realize,
like
that,
made
a
real
difference,
whether
you
you
know
people
agree.
A
A
I
would
just
say
you
know
for
folks
who
want
to
who
have
feedback
just
feel
free
if
it's
commenting
on
some
of
the
ideas
that
are
up
here
feel
free
to
just
share
your
comments
up,
you
know,
like
you
want
to
really
you
know,
you
know,
express
support
for
some
of
the
specific
ideas
or
add
something
new,
so
I
think
it'd
be
pretty
open-ended.
Whatever
comments
can
flow,
I
think
we
have
time
to
get
all
all
the
ideas
on
the
table.
J
So
I'll
start
with,
I
think,
we've
already
discussed
broadband.
That
seems
to
be
a
really
clear
field
and,
I
would
say:
affordable
housing
too.
I'm
really
hopeful
that
we'll
be
able
to
do
something
with
with
those
projects,
because
it's
my
understanding,
we've
got
some
really
good
projects
before
the
affordable
housing
committee
and
and
we
don't
have
all
the
funding
for
those
projects.
So
I'm
really
hopeful
that
we
can
move
that
forward
in
a
meaningful
way,
as
well
also
the
utilities,
energy
efficiency,
I'm
really
interested
in
exploring
some
with
that.
J
I
know
commissioner
sloan
had
some
really
good
ideas
around
that.
So
I
think
there's
potential
there
for
really
helping
people,
because
utilities
were
something
that
were
really
you
know
anything
we
can
do
to
keep
people
in
their
homes
and
have
affordable
housing,
affordable
utilities.
All
of
that
seems
really
important.
J
J
I
really
feel
like
if
there's
some
way,
we
can
do
that,
because
we're
we're
working
on
bringing
in
all
these
businesses
here
right
to
improve
the
paint
good,
paying
jobs
and
employ
people,
and
I
just
really
feel
that
we
don't
want
to
miss
that
opportunity
that
we
really
need
to
make
sure
that
we're
doing
the
outreach,
especially
to
our
high
school
population
and
and
making
sure
that
they're
gonna,
you
know,
be
ready
for
these
jobs
and
know
about
these
jobs
and
all
that.
So
anything
we
can
do
around
that.
J
Potentially
I'm
hopeful
will
be
a
good
fit
and
just
a
couple
of
other
things,
just
in
general
when
we
think
about,
I
think
chairman
newman
mentioned
earlier
kind
of
that
recreation.
I
think
about
aging
in
place,
which
is
one
of
our
strategic
priorities.
So
when
we
can
do
things
out
in
the
community,
so
people
can
age
in
place.
I
think
that's
really
beneficial
and
anything
we
can
do
to
support
a
resilient
and
healthy
food
system
as
well.
J
D
K
K
What's
listed,
there
is
figuring
out
whether
there's
a
way
to
expand
access
to
quality
early
child
education,
perhaps
doing
that
combined
with
affordable
housing
projects-
and
I
know
this
would
be
limited
to
capital
expense,
but
there
actually
are
some
capital
needs
on
the
near
horizon,
as
we
think
about
the
need
for
new
early
childhood
facilities
and
and
them
being
located
near,
affordable
housing
and
public
transportation
is
always
so
key.
So
lifting
that
up
we
also
just
to
flag.
K
The
second
one
is
shifting
gears
a
bit
and
going
to
resident
well-being
and
I'd
like
to
just
take
sort
of
paying
a
broad
picture
and
then
drill
down
to
the
areas
where
I
think
there
might
be
some
eligible
capital
expenses
and
that
what
this
relates
to
is
really
the
extraordinary
crisis
we
see
in
our
community.
That's
been
exacerbated
by
covid19
at
the
intersections
of
mental
health
issues,
homelessness
and
addiction.
K
By
the
time
I
get
to
work.
In
the
morning,
I've
passed
two
homeless
camps.
One
year
my
kids
daycare
one
in
a
park
across
the
street
from
our
house
and
also
often
walked
by
several
homeless
folks,
who
are
leaving
the
code
purple
shelter,
that's
just
across
the
street
from
us
and
the
level
of
suffering
and
need
is
just
so
profound.
So
I
don't
think
this
is
news
to
anyone.
K
K
K
That's
part
of
one
of
the
exciting
conversations
we've
been
having
is
getting
to
a
place
in
our
community
where
anytime,
a
911
call
calls
in
from
any
jurisdiction
where
there's
a
mental
health
crisis,
someone
who's
overdosed
or
someone
in
an
addiction-related
crisis,
a
community
paramedic
could
be
dispatched
potentially
with
law
enforcement
as
well.
If
that
was
warranted
from
a
safety
perspective,
so
I
think
there's
a
trajectory
there
around
the
scale
up
of
that
program.
K
K
As
we
said,
the
er
in
the
jail
tends
to
be
where
someone
goes
right
now
and
that's
a
that's
the
right
fit
for
some
people
from
a
safety
and
health
perspective,
but
for
a
lot
of
people
it's
not,
and
they
will
bounce
out
almost
immediately
for
those
that,
with
the
most
urgent
needs,
I
think
there's
an
opportunity
to
create
a
create
a
behavioral
health,
urgent
care
or
mental
health,
urgent
care
facility.
That
actually
has
more
advanced
clinical
capabilities
so
that
they
could
assess
and
treat
people
who
had
mental
health
crises.
K
Maybe
they
need
to
get
back
on
medication.
Maybe
they
need
a
place
to
be
stabilized
for
a
while,
but
they
don't
need
to
go
to
the
er
that
hasn't
existed
per
se
in
our
community
to
date
and
we've
we've
seen
again
lots
of
people
just
bouncing
and
cycling
and
cycling
because
they
have
needs
too
serious
to
be
treated
on
the
street,
but
not
serious
enough
to
to
warrant
a
hospital
admittance.
K
My
church
next
door
has
been,
I
think,
showing
us
what's
possible
and
the
need
for
this
and-
and
it's
been
working
really
well
by
all
accounts
and
then
there's
still
a
lot.
They
get
they
get
full
very
quickly.
So
the
need
far
exceeds
the
capacity
of
doing
this
in
a
sort
of
stand-up
way
at
a
church.
So
I've
been
talking
for
a
bit
here,
but
this
is
a
big
project.
K
A
E
I
guess
first,
first
of
all,
looking
at
the
at
the
slide,
for
whatever
reason
when
I
made
my
list,
I
didn't
think
about
education
related
activities
as
as
qualifying
under
these
funds,
but
we
just
don't
know
so.
You
know
I
will
give
a
shout
out
to
yeah
brick
and
mortar
infrastructure
for
early
childhood
education
as
well
as
anything
related
to.
E
K-12
or
community
college
infrastructure
in
support
of
stem
education
or
workforce
development
that
sort
of
training,
I
think
I
saw
on
our
facilities
study
one
of
the
the
one
of
the
buildings,
that's
in
the
poorest
shape
that
the
county
owns
is
the
west
asheville
library.
So
I
see
new
libraries
on
there.
So
that's
something
to
consider
but
I'll
jump
to
my
my
list.
E
E
Sewer
alien
septic
tank
sewer
extension
program.
I
think
the
state
spends
a
few
million
dollars
a
year.
Essentially
you
just
find
low-income
persons
with
healing
septic
systems
and,
if
they're
in
proximity
to
sewer
extending
them,
so
that
would
be
you
know
in
terms
of
shovel
ready,
a
really
easy
and
quick
use
of
funds
that
can
help
out.
E
You
know
low-income
folks
that
aren't
going
to
get
connected.
Otherwise,
turning
to
weatherization
and
energy
efficiency,
another
really
exciting
opportunity.
You
know
in
the
past,
we've
spent
really
small
dollars
on
weatherization
for
fixing
windows
and
cracks
and
roofs,
and
that
sort
of
thing
this
could
be
an
opportunity
to
just
to
really
spend.
You
know
a
couple
million
dollars
on
whether
in
the
form
of
grants
or
no
interest
loans
to
upgrade.
E
The
commercial
side,
there's
a
lot
of
opportunity
to
you,
know
renovate
a
commercial
kitchens
do
rooftop
solar,
other
energy
efficiency
in
commercial
properties
as
well.
So
that
would
be
something
to
look
at
again,
whether
in
the
form
of
a
grant-
or
I
don't
know
if,
if
revolving
loan
programs
would
be
something
that
they
would
let
us
set
up
under
this.
E
What
else
what
else
yeah
in
terms
of
in
my
head,
drawing
a
direct
line
from
the
economic
impacts
of
covid,
you
know
where
that
takes
me
is:
is
a
b
tech
and
our
small
business
incubator
and
ways
to
really
support
and
lift
up
entrepreneurship
in
our
in
our
community.
So
I
don't
necessarily
have
particular
program
ideas
in
mind,
but
if
there's
any,
I
guess
again,
one-time
expenditures
that
could
aid
in
that.
That
seems
like
a
no-brainer
to
me
what
else
there's
a
few
dozen
miles
of
greenway
in
the
buckham
county.
B
E
I
think
I'll
say
one
more
thing.
I'll
stop
talking.
I
mentioned
what
you
know:
watershed
restoration
stream
bank
restoration,
as
our
community
rapidly
develops,
especially
in
the
urban
areas.
You
know
we're
losing
losing
trees,
we're
adding
a
previous
surface,
so
flooding
is
getting
getting
worse
and
also
with
climate
change.
E
Our
storms
and
the
quantity
of
storms
is
getting
worse.
So
it's
just
gonna,
it's
just
gonna
kind
of
snowball
in
terms
of
the
problem
and
it's
even
turning
into
a
potential
emergency
in
areas
like
swannano
river
road,
where
the
swananoa
river
is
eroding
the
soil
underneath
the
road
itself
and-
and
so
I
really
kind
of
think
this
could
be
an
opportunity
to
invest
in
watershed,
restoration,
there's
the
central
asheville
watershed
restoration
plan
that
was
put
together
by
riverlink
has
a
really
detailed
list
of
potentially
shovel
ready
projects.
E
E
It's
also
the
kind
of
thing
we
should
probably
consider
as
a
county
spending
a
couple
hundred
thousand
dollars
on
a
year
or
every
couple
years
to
improve
storm
water,
rain,
gardens,
swales
stream,
restoration
that
that
sort
of
thing,
I
think,
could
go
a
long
way
in
creating
a
more
resilient
community,
yeah
and
then
just
fine.
You
know
final
thoughts.
If
there's
any
way
we
can,
we
can
any
of
these
programs
leverage
other
other
funds,
I
think
others.
Others
have
mentioned
that
you
know.
E
H
I
H
To
go
next,
these
are
all
great
ideas
and
not
to
you
know,
reiterate
every
single
one
of
them,
but
the
when
I
think
about
affordable
housing
and
education.
There
does
seem
to
be
an
intersection
with
the
two
in
terms
of
community
well-being,
so
figuring
out.
In
my
mind
how
we
look
at
those
two
is
almost
incredibly
intertwined
in
terms
of
helping
benefit.
Our
community,
I
think,
is
really
important.
H
H
We
also
have
an
opportunity
to
retrain
and
retool
people's
skills
to
get
them
into
the
jobs
that
are
currently
available.
That
we
know
are
also
well
paying
jobs,
but
the
overarching
thing
that
I
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
keeping
in
front
of
us
at
all
times
is.
We
know
that
the
virus
has
most
adversely
impacted
our
communities
of
color
and
people
of
color.
We've
declared
racism
as
a
public
health
crisis.
H
This
pandemic
is
a
public
health
crisis
and
where
and
those
those
two
things
really
intersect
in
my
mind,
as
we
think
about
each
one
of
these
ideas,
the
bullets
up
there.
I
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
keeping
our
eye
on
the
equity
piece
and
ensuring
that
we
are
serving
throughout
these
projects,
the
most
vulnerable,
most
impacted
members
of
our
community.
D
H
T
H
13
14
month
plus
loss
with
our
our
k-12
and
even
into
higher
ed.
I
think,
and
how
do
we
look
at
utilizing
funds
to
assist
those
most
vulnerable
children
in
our
community
so
that
they
don't
fall
further
behind,
but
they
have
the
opportunity
to
catch
up.
I'm
also
thinking
as
we
talk
about
our
racial
equity
action
plan,
we
know
that
there's
community
input
sessions
coming
up.
H
I
think
we
could
certainly
sit
here
all
day
and
say
well.
We
think
this
would
be
best
for
our
communities
of
color,
but
I'm
really
hopeful
throughout
those
planning
and
input
sessions
that
we
start
to
hear
from
them
too.
What
would
help
them
recover
from
covet
19.?
So
I
think
all
of
the
things
that
we've
talked
about
certainly
have
that
opportunity,
but
I
want
to
make
sure
that
we
are
not
forgetting
that
and
our
most
vulnerable
marginalized
members
of
our
community.
S
S
D
Q
Q
We
talk
about
housing,
we
talk
about
jobs,
folks,
we
are
doing
a
darn
thing
to
really
attack
systemic
racism
in
this
community
and
we've
got
to
and
one
of
the
ways
we've
got
to
make
sure
that
you
know
we
can't
build
out
affordable
housing.
We
can't
forget
it,
but
what
we've
got
to
start
doing
and
I'll
just
use
that
as
an
example,
it's
using
affordable
housing,
it's
temporary
housing,
and
by
that
I
mean
when
we
move
people
into
these
affordable
housing
complexes.
E
F
Q
Give
them
the
training,
the
education
and
everything
that
they
need
to
make
them
taxpayers
rather
than
tax
takers,
because
these
people
don't
want
to
be
stuck
in
that
rut
from
now
on
the
way
it's
happening
now,
you
know
when
I
talk
to
a
family
in
the
five
generations,
they've
lived
in
hillcrest
house.
That's
a
crying
shame!
It's
no
excuse
for
that,
but
we've
got
to
be
more
deliberate
in
what
we
do.
You
know
we
do
a
good
job
in
this
community
of
talking
about
it.
Q
We've
got
to
do
something
about
it
and
when
we
look
at
what
we're
doing
you
know
in
environmental
energy,
stewardship
everything
our
four
pillars,
but
folks,
if
we
don't
deal
with
the
core
problem
in
this
community,
it's
still
systemic
racism,
we're
not
going
to
get
anywhere
and
when
you
talk
about
small
business
support,
african-american
businesses,
it
was
more
when
I
was
a
kid
in
this
community.
It
is
today.
Q
So
what
that
tells
me
we're
going
backwards,
we're
not
going
forward,
but
as
elected
officials,
we're
going
to
have
to
take
the
lead
in
this
and
we've
got
to
be
strategic.
We've
got
to
be
serious
about
it
and
it
can't
be
wind
addressing
that's
not
going
to
get
us
where
we
need
to
go
and
sure
in
some
places
it's
going
to
cost,
but
look
at
what
it's
going
to
cost
us.
Q
If
we
don't
do
it
look
at
what
it's
cost
us
already,
when
you
look
at
our
health
system,
look
at
our
schools,
the
achievement
gap
that
we
have
in
the
city
is
just
unreal
and
in
the
county.
If
you
look
at
the
gap,
I'm
sure
it's
to
have
and
have
nots.
It's
the
same
thing:
it's
not
that
much
different,
but
I
want
us
to
be
strategic
to
really
look
at
what
we're
doing
and
let's
not
try
to
bite
off
everything
we
can't
do.
G
Q
But
let's
take
the
important
pieces
of
this
pie
and
try
to
buy
them
off
one
at
a
time,
and
hopefully,
five
years
from
now
10
years
from
now
we'll
be
where
we
need
to
be.
But
let's
just
do
I
don't
want
to
see
this
50
million
dollars
come
in
and
we
blew
it.
What
good
is
it?
You
know
it's
a
windfall.
I'm
like
you
brownie,
we'll
probably
we
won't
see
this
in
our
political
lifetimes.
Q
Q
That's
it.
I
know
I
might
not
have
said
anything.
You
know
specific,
but
it's
time
somebody's
got
to
be
the
conscious
of
our
community
and
we've
got
to
step
up
and
do
it
and
it's
affecting
all
the
people
in
our
community.
You
know,
I
always
say
this:
it's
old
saying
a
chain
is
only
as
strong
as
its
weakest
link,
so
folks,
we've
got
a
weak
chain
in
our
community
and
we
gotta
strip
it.
A
All
right,
thank
you.
Thank
you.
Al
thanks.
Everyone
for
your
comments
on
this.
I've
got
a
few
things
I
wanted
to
add.
Maybe
a
few
things
that
have
been
mentioned.
I
just
want
to
kind
of
echo.
I
guess-
and
it's
I
mean
I
think
it's
great-
that
some
of
these
initiatives
that
we've
already
been
working
on
and
doing
planning
on
are,
you
know,
seem
clearly
eligible
under
the
recovery
funds,
like
the
broadband
of
course
seems,
seems
yeah.
It's
great
that
we've
already
been
working
on
doing
planning
around
that.
A
Obviously,
I'm
supportive
of
that
you
know
we
didn't
know
we
would
get
50
million
dollars.
You
know
at
the
time
this
broadband
work
was
being
done,
so
it
sounds
like
there's
some
different
opportunities
that
have
already
been
identified
through
that,
but
perhaps
we
can
take
what
we've
learned
from
what's
already
come
in
and
now
that
we
know
there's
potentially
more
resources
to
apply.
You
know
maybe
look
at
some
other
opportunities
and
I'm
glad
we're
looking
at
both
the
rural
and
the
kind
of
in-town
needs
around
that.
A
Is
you
know
there
are
some
significant
new
like
tax
credits
that
are
refundable
cash
tax
credits
for
families
and
nationwide?
That
is
kind
of
there
are
new
policies,
I'm
not
super
familiar
with
all
of
them,
but
one
of
the
things
I've
heard
is
that
there's
a
going
to
be
a
great
need
to
make
sure
all
of
our
residents
are
fully
educated
about
that
and
to
make
sure
that
people
who
are
families
that
are
eligible
for
it
are
able
to
access
that.
A
So
again,
I'm
just
kind
of
repeating
something
I've
heard,
I'm
not
sure
how
how
true
all
this
is,
but
perhaps
there'll
be
a
need
for
us
to
invest
in
efforts
to
just
fully
educate
the
community
to
make
sure
all
of
our
residents
are
able
to
benefit
from
some
of
the
new
national
policies
that
are
out
there.
That
can
benefit
families
in
buncombe
county.
A
So
I
just
wanted
to
to
relay
that
as
as
one
idea
I've
heard
from
the
community,
I
definitely
am
very
supportive
of
the
high
access
low
barrier,
shelter
concept,
that
jasmine
spoke
about
related
project.
You
know
related,
but
distinct.
You
know
another
project
idea.
That's
been
talked
about
in
the
community
for
a
long
time
around
the
idea
of
ending
chronic
homelessness
and
the
hardest
to
house
of
the
chronically
homeless
population.
A
You
know
homeward
bound,
has
been
kind
of
working
on
development
of
a
project.
With
that
idea
in
mind
for
a
number
of
years,
there's
been
a
number
of
sites.
Looked
at
that
did
not
you
know
had
issues
did
not
come
through,
but
there
now
seems
to
be
a
very
promising
project
to
help
advance
that,
because
it
is
focused
on
homelessness,
it
seems
surely
that
would
be
an
eligible
project,
so
I'm
very
supportive
of
the
county.
A
A
Looking
at
this
model,
this
reach
model,
I
think
it's
very
interesting
and
I'm
supportive
of
I'm
supportive.
Of
that
I
mean
it's
one
of
those
projects
where
you
know
we
probably
could
utilize
recovery
funds
for
that,
as
my
hunch,
if
the
pilot
project
is
successful,
is
probably
something
we're
going
to
want
to
continue.
So,
on
the
one
hand,
it's
kind
of
a
pilot
project
by
its
nature
is
short-term,
but
if
it's
successful
it'll
probably
turn
into
a
long-term
project,
so
our
recovery
funds,
the
best
use
of
it
versus
county
funds.
A
I
don't
have
a
strong
opinion
about
that
at
the
moment,
but
I
just
you
know.
Whichever
way
we
need
to
do
it,
I'm
very
I'm
very
supportive
of
that
because,
as
al
said,
you
know,
if
we're
not
trying
some
try,
you
know
trying
some
new
things
to
tackle
these
long-standing
problems.
Then
I
think
we're
we
just
have
to
do
that,
because
there's
a
lot
of
good
work,
that's
done
in
this
area,
but
it's
obviously
not
been
enough
to
make
the
difference
that
we
want.
So
so
I'm
very
supportive
of
that.
A
D
A
D
A
Something
like
that,
but
that
actually
building
some
new
projects
does
end
up
being
identified
as
a
as
a
permissible
purpose.
If
it
is
I,
I
would
be
very
supportive
of
that
being
like
a
meaningful
percentage
of
the
recovery
funds.
You
know
investing
a
meaningful
percentage
of
the
funds
into
that
purpose.
The
affordable
housing
committee
has
just
been
mentioned.
We've
got
a
great,
I
think,
an
unusually
strong
group
of
projects
that
have
applied
for
funding
to
the
county,
which
we
won't
be
able
to
fund
all
of
them
just
with
our
typical
funding.
A
So
that
would
allow
us
to
do
more
and-
and
I
think
with
you
know,
with
like
the
ferry
road
property
or
other
public
properties,
I
think
there's.
My
sense
is
that
there's
a
long
enough
window
here
that
we
could
we
determine
you
know
how
much
funding
we
would
want
to
apply
to
this
need,
there's
probably
time
to
actually
think
about
doing
some
new
projects.
You
know
with
this
and
getting
them
started
and
getting
funds
invested.
A
So
I'm
if
it
becomes
a
permissible
use
of
funds,
I'm
very
supportive
of
trying
to
really
really
make
a
big
impact
on
on
that
issue
in
terms
of
small
business
support.
You
know,
I
think,
the
things
that
the
county
did
with
our
partners
during
the
one
buncombe
fund
process.
I
think
those
were
you
know,
were
in
the
big
scheme
of
things.
It
was
a
modest
amount
of
funding,
but
I've
heard
very,
very
good
feedback
from
that.
I
think
it
was
very.
A
I
think
it
did
have
a
meaningful
impact
and
I'm
I'm
definitely
open
to
allocating
additional
funds
for
similar
purposes.
I
mean
there
were
probably
lots
of
good
applications
that
were
not
able
to
be
funded
with
the
modest
amount
of
funds
that
we
had
appropriated
ourselves.
So
I'm
looking
at
trying
to
do
more
to
support
small
businesses
in
a
really
efficient
way,
not
a
lot
of
red
tape.
A
You
know
maybe
still
relatively
small
amounts
of
money,
but
for
a
lot
of
our
small
business
owners
and
sole
proprietors
and
minority
owned
businesses
or
people
who
want
to
start
a
business
get
get.
You
know
get
a
grow,
their
equity
in
the
community.
I
think
those
are
those
are
exciting
opportunities
to
think
about.
A
I
would
also
kind
of
echo
parker
said
around
some
of
the
some
of
the
greenway
projects.
You
know
it
seems
like
those
would
be
eligible,
they
clearly
identify.
You
know,
tourism.
You
know
restoration
as
a
permissible
use
of
funds.
We
all
know
that
that's
kind
of
our
best,
our
outdoor
assets,
are
among
our
best
assets.
So
if
there
are
some
projects
that
are
pretty
shovel
ready
and
some
additional
funding
can
help
us
actually
go
get
things
built,
then
I
would
I
would.
I
would
love
to
see
that
happen.
A
A
There's
a
piece
of
property
that
a
b
tech
is
interested
in
that
is
basically
like
the
property
is
surrounded
by
other
av
tech
properties
and
it's
been
under
a
long-term
lease.
The
lease
is
coming
up.
They
are
interested
in
acquiring
it
in
basically
utilizing
they're.
Just
building
on
it
and
utilizing
it
as
like
a
new
like
workforce
center
is
the
idea
that
I've
heard
kind
of
talked
about
with
the
purpose
of
that
would
be
so.
The
idea
would
be.
A
You
know
that
there's
actually
lots
of
really
good
jobs
in
the
community
that
don't
get
filled,
and
so
this
could
be
kind
of
a
facility
where
employers
could
come
in
do
interviews
with
interested
candidates
which
might
be
a
b
tech
students,
but
it
could
also
just
be
anybody
in
the
community.
They
don't
necessarily
have
to
be
an
av
tech
student.
So
that's
kind
of
this
new
concept.
I've
heard
just
recently
kind
of
brought
up,
so
I
just
wanted
to
kind
of
share
that.
I
think
it's
a
conversation.
A
Ab
tech
is
interested
in
talking
to
us
about,
maybe
because
it's
kind
of
got
this
workforce
element
to
it.
Perhaps
it
could
be
ineligible
for
these
kind
of
like
economic
recovery
funding,
if
if
it
ends
up
not
being
eligible
for
that,
but
the
commissioner
and
ab
tech
think
it's
a
good
idea,
perhaps
there's
other
ways
we
could
approach
it
as
well
utilizing
you
know
the
sales
tax
revenues
or
some
other
purpose.
I
just
wanted
to
kind
of
put
that
put
that
out
there
as
kind
of
a
new
project
idea
that
I
became
aware
of.
A
All
right,
let
me
just
I
think
those
were
all
of
the
things
I
wanted
to
just
kind
of
underscore
or
add
to
add
to
the
mix
at
this
time.
So
I'll
stop
there.
Are
there
any
follow-up
questions?
I
think
everyone's
had
a
chance
to
share
their
ideas
or
any
kind
of
follow-up
questions
or
discussion.
Now
that
everyone's
had
a
chance
to
sort
of.
D
I
E
Of
branding
and
logos,
and
that
sort
of
thing
I
don't
know
if
that's
gonna
come
out
for
this,
but
one
thing
I
was
thinking
about
on
the
on
the
drive
over
today
was
just
whatever
becomes
eligible.
Whatever
we
spend
these
funds
on
branding
it
away
and
communicating
to
the
public
how
it
was
paid
for
and
connecting
it
back
to
this,
this
pot
of
funds,
I
think,
is
not
the
top
three
priorities
in
my
mind,
but
one
of
the
one.
D

I
would
be
remiss
if
I
didn't
mention
direct
covet
response
that
didn't
come
up
in
the
commission
or
brainstorm
around
priorities,
but
it
is
an
allowable
use
of
funds.
We
have
fully
expended
our
coronavirus,
really
funds
and
we,
as
we
receive
funding
from
sources
like
the
state
public
health
department,
through
agreement
agenda.
P
And
so
at
this
time
it's
too
soon
to
say
what
methodology
we
would
use
to
to
define
an
amount
needed
because
we're
still
we're
still
assessing
all
of
both
the
expenses
as
well
as
what
revenues
could
be
available
to
cover
them.
But
just
want
to
keep
that
on
your
awareness
that
some
portion
of
these
funds,
we
may
recommend
be
used
for
direct
code
response
and
so
putting.

That
sounds
great,
so
we
know
that
this
all
the
municipalities
are
getting
funding.
We
know
like
the
airport
is
getting
they're
getting
a
lot
of
money
and
the
schools
are
the
city
district
and
the
county
district
will
also
each
get
direct
funding.
Do
we
know
that?
Do
we
know
how
much
the
schools
are
likely
to
get
order
of
magnitude.

Great,
thank
you.
Thank
you
to
all
the
staff,
for
I
think
there
was.
This
was
like
excellent
information,
so
I
know
we're
still
pretty
early
in
the
budget
process,
but
this
was
really
good.
So
thank
you
all
for
putting
all
this
together,
so
we
are
adjourning
almost
exactly
on
time.
So
thanks
everyone
for
showing
up
and
throwing
your
ideas
in
the.
