From YouTube: Board of Commissioners' Pre-meeting Aug. 6, 2019
Description
This is the Board of Commissioners' pre-meeting from Aug. 6, 2019. The Board hears staff updates on items they will hear at a future meeting.
A
Quick
look
at
the
agenda.
We're
going
to
talk
about
County
surplus
property.
Jaclyn
is
going
to
give
us
an
update
on
the
medication,
assisted
treatment
for
opioid
use
disorders
and
potential
board
resolution
going
to
talk
about
bank
financing
for
replacement
of
sheriff's
pupils.
Ben
update
on
the
census
and
Tim
love
will
also
give
us
an
update
on
the
survey
results
from
the
regional
broadband
study.
A
A
Are
there
any
other
items
of
people
would
like
to
cover
in
this
meeting?
I
have
one
I
wanted
to
suggest?
Can
we
just
have
like
a
we
have
time?
Maybe
just
do
a
little
discussion
at
the
after
we
get
to
the
other
agenda
items
just
about
kind
of
this
meeting
and
then
how
this
meetings
working
for
everybody?
It's
the
timing,
the
right
we've
talked
a
little
bit
about
the
timing.
You
know
it
is
a
different
time
better
save
time.
A
A
Okay,
so
we
will
have
a
Ron
once
Ron
Hagen
wants
to
do
a
brief
closed
session
with
us.
He
his
schedule
is
that
has
a
family
commitment
later.
So
he
wants
to
do
that
at
the
beginning
of
our
meetings.
So
I
think
we'll
we'll
open
the
meeting
and
then
we'll
go
ahead
and
go
into
closed
session
just
to
hear
from
Ron.
A
D
B
A
G
G
Another
part
of
that
process
is
to
make
this
at
active
list
that
we'll
put
on
our
intranet
so
that
other
departments
can
go
and
look
at
this
list
to
see
what
we
have
available
for
them
and
what
they
don't
pick
and
choose
from
what
we'll
be
providing
to
the
commissioners
to
prove
to
auction
off
Jules.
Are
there
any
questions.
F
This
is
work
really
well
do
Michael
upstairs
for
many
years
and
you
don't
need
to
hold
vehicles
for
30
days.
Core
value
of
vehicles
go
down,
plus
the
people
down
there
having
to
try
to
keep
things
running.
There's
no
problem.
After
he's
dead
and
stuff
like
that,
I
don't
know
anything
about
come
here,
but
you
know
you
got
computers,
you
got
all
kinds
of
stuff
parts
aboard
I
know
a
little
bit
back
hard.
Some
people
may
know
a
little
bit
back
computer.
So
far,
everything
we've
done
even
the
gentleman
I'm
talking
about.
F
He
took
a
2.2
million
dollar
check
to
the
bank
course
that
was
one
no
names
match.
I
think
I
talked
terrible
about
this
a
little
bit.
It
just
needs
to
be
fixed
where
the
stuff
split
up.
It's
put
up
for
sale.
It's
put
on
the
website,
you
don't
matter
the
people
in
departments
know
it.
That's
not
the
problem.
It's
the
problem
is
we
want
to
sell
it
and
get
rid
of
it
and
sitting
there
holding
it
for
60
days
or
30
days
or
90
days
is
the
wrong
way
to
do
so.
It
just
needs.
F
We
need
to
make
some
kind
of
amendment
to
were
Mike.
I
can't
think
miss
last
name
is
on
fort
for
me.
Standard
I'm,
Stanbury
right
he's
been
doing
this
for
year
after
year
after
year
and
with
with
basically
no
problems.
You
know,
if
you
want
to
go
on,
I
want
to
go
home.
Anybody
in
here
wants
to
go
online.
You
just
go
to
go
cover
already.
You
might
find
something
you
want,
but
I
will
have.
Can
we
fix
it
where
it
just
goes
to
a
year
or
whatever
it
is?
F
Can't
look
you
it
okay,
but
the
main
thing
is:
we
need
to
get
it
back
to
where
it
was
so.
This
stuff
people
look
on
on
this
gogo
and
they're
used
to
looking
at
patrol
cars
and
computers
and
all
this
stuff,
each
and
every
month,
they're
not
going
to
be
used
to
looking
at
them
every
three
months.
Then
you
pile
them
on
there.
Then
the
price
goes
down,
so
we
need
to
get
as
much
out
of
them.
We
can,
and
if
we
can
do
this
paper,
how
fruit.
F
B
A
J
Yeah
this
is
intended
to
be
a
preview
and
it
discussion,
certainly
if
yeah
a
preview
and
a
discussion
if
anyone
would
like
to
talk
it
through,
and
you
want
to
acknowledge
that
Sheriff
Quentin
Miller
is
here.
This
summe
item
follows
up
on
a
presentation
and
discussion.
J
A
little
bit
of
brief
context
around
this
medication,
assisted
treatment,
is
considered
the
standard
of
care
and
treating
the
opioid
use
disorder
and
there's
a
lot
of
data
showing
the
impact
that
those
programs
being
available
at
the
jail
in
terms
of
people
being
on
the
road
to
recovery
from
a
very
difficult
disease,
and
also
in
terms
of
things
like
reduced
rates
of
recidivism
and
the
cost
savings
that
go
into
that.
So
this
is
an
issue
that
ties
most
directly
into
our
strategic
commitments
around
responding
the
opioid
crisis.
J
It
also
has
tie-ins
to
our
work
around
justice
issues
and
trying
to
develop
programs
and
interventions
that
break
some
of
the
cycles,
especially
of
folks
that
are
being
arrested
again
and
again
and
again,
when
really
what's
going
on
is
a
mental
health
need
or
a
health
need
related
to
addiction
and
the
disease
of
addiction.
So
this
today,
really
just
wanting
to
preview
that,
on
our
August
20th
meeting
be
introducing
a
resolution.
J
Ever
did
the
two
other
folks
putting
this
in
the
agenda,
but
I've
had
the
chance
to
be
in
touch
with
everyone
and
Commission
about
it,
and
this
resolution
would
endorse
the
use
of
medication,
assisted
treatment
as
a
standard
of
care
and
specifically
endorse
planned
expansion
of
the
program
at
the
Detention
Center,
which
is
scheduled
to
launch
in
its
pilot
phase.
In
September,
we
had
seed
funding,
that's
coming
from
the
North
Department
of
Health
and
Human
Services
through
the
state
opiate
grant.
J
I
A
F
The
sheriff
is
putting
that
in
place,
which
I'm
assuming
that's
where
the
direction
is
coming
from.
I
think
it's
a
great
idea.
I
mean
certainly
one
I'm
gonna
try
to
give
those
people
some
help
and
some
hope
you
know
when
they
late
I.
Don't
necessarily
you
know,
I'm,
not
a
big
fan
of
you
know
a
lot
of
resolutions
so
I'm,
not
necessarily
I.
F
Don't
know
that
we
have
to
do
that,
but
I
do
think
sure.
You
know
that
strong
support
for
that
in
trying
to
give
them
while
they're
there
they
don't
seek
out.
You
know,
I,
had
a
conversation
with
a
friend
of
mine
this
morning
were
something
they
have
been
Eagles
parking
lot.
Wouldn't
ever
have
new
broad
daylight.
You
know,
and
so.
A
So
you
know
this
is
certainly
not
something
I
have.
This
is
the
simple
way
I
think
about
this.
You
know
kind
of
based
on
what
I've
learnt
you
know
have
a
chance
to
learn
about
it
lost
a
few
months.
Is
that
for
folks
who
have
you
know,
have
an
addiction
issue,
they're
spending
time
in
the
detention
facility,
for
whatever
reason,
maybe
it
was
related
to
that?
Maybe
but
unrelated
to
that.
You
know
they're
there
that
when,
when
folks
leave,
there's
a
extremely
high
rate
of
overdose
and
a
lethal
overdose
following
people
are
leaving
right
because.
A
A
Be
the
time
that
they
spend
in
the
detention
facility
is
actually
a
time
where
they
can
kind
of
start
getting
on
a
path
where
the
chances
of
them
successfully
dealing
with
that
are
actually
much
better
than
if
they'd
so
kind
of.
Turning
up,
it's
probably
a
negative
situation
from
their
perspective
being
in
the
detention
facility,
potentially
into
kind
of
a
pathway
that
can
be
a
better,
a
better
path.
So.
J
Part
of
what
this
program
does
is,
it
doesn't
just
say
we're:
gonna
prescribe
m80,
while
you're
in
the
jail.
It
also
is
about
connecting
people
to
the
continuum
of
resources
so
that
when
they
are
reentering
the
community,
they
have
ongoing
access
to
that
medication,
but
also
access
to
safe
housing.
A
dental
support
so
yeah.
J
It's
trying
to
break
that
cycle
and
kind
of
create
a
new
story
here
in
welcome
County
and
the
communities
have
been
able
to
do
this,
see
that
it
is
creating
that
that
new
story
for
and
I'm
bringing
hope
into
an
issue
that
I
think
so
often
we
just
get
such
very
grim.
It
was
just
very
heartbreaking
stories,
I
think
all
of
us
know
those
stories
or
you've
seen
you've
seen
them.
You
can
directly
touch
by
them.
So
that's
part
of
what
it
certainly
motivates.
B
F
But
you
have
over
here
on
here
right
I'm,
here
on
Maryland
Avenue
this
month.
It's
people
that
take
drugs
or
have
been
on
drugs.
They
go
every
day
every
single
day
to
get
this
drug
so
that
they
don't
stay
on
drugs
and
then
you
get
to
during
the
two
days
they
have
to
show
up
or
Merriman
every
day
everything
stand
in
Landon
they
able
to
get
that
drive
for
the
one
day.
I
think.
J
You're
referencing
one
site
and
and
with
the
advent
of
medication,
assisted
treatment,
it's
being
widely
prescribed
across
the
county
there,
even
health
department's
in
North
Carolina
that
are
starting
to
prescribe
it
Pinchas
prescribes
it,
may
heck,
prescribes
it.
So
there's
many
different
places,
including
someone's
family
physician
or
they
could
get
this
prescription
and
there's
new
technologies
or
the
medication.
F
Fair
mission
or
direction
or
resolution
is,
we
want
to
provide
hope
and
health
and
assistance
while
people
are
married
jail,
but
we
want.
We
want
the
ultimate
goals
for
them
to
be
free
of
that
addiction.
Yeah
I
think
we
need
to
be
make
sure
that
that's
the
message
that
we
see
want
them
to
be
free
of
it.
That's.
J
J
E
I
would
like
to
say
I'm
all
for
it
and
just
coming
from
a
country,
boy,
I
believe
in
just
common
sense
approach
to
everything.
But
when
we
looked
at
opiate
the
destruction,
it's
doing,
let's
not
talk
about
nationally
of
statewide,
but
here
in
Buncombe,
County
I
see
it
every
day.
I
see
it
with
members
of
my
family
members
of
my
church,
everybody.
We
are
all
for
this
resolution
and
we
need
to
do
all
weekend
and
I
agree
with
statistics.
E
But
folks,
in
some
cases
we
don't
even
begin
to
know
the
statistics
and
the
damage
that
opioids
are
doing
for
us
and
if
we
wait
it's
going
to
just
do
more
damage,
but
we
need
to
take
the
lead
as
commissioners
and
do
all
we
can
to
protect
our
community
and
that's
what
it's
all
about
what
we
can
do
for
our
community
and
folks.
This
is
why
we
will
put
here.
This
is
why
we
were
elected
and
for
us
to
have
a
discussion
on
this.
A
All
right,
very
good
next
up
is
the
bank
funniest
thing
for
share
people's
item
in
Mason.
Scott's
gonna
help
us
out.
L
L
So
this
is
a
topic
that
you've
seen
before.
This
is
really
just
a
recap
of
the
status
of
where
we
are
at
this
point,
with
the
funding
and
financing
replacement
vehicles
or
the
sheriff's
complete,
a
high-level
overview
of
where
we
are
and
the
timeline
along
with
the
approval
of
the
budget
for
this
fiscal
year,
you
all
approved
1.65
billion
dollars
to
replace
380
peoples
in
the
sheriff's
fleet.
L
Following
that,
when
we
had
entered
this
fiscal
year,
we
worked
with
our
the
county's
financial
advisor
to
facilitate
an
issue,
an
RFP
for
financing
the
way
of
an
installment
purchase
contract.
Since
that
time,
finance
department
and
financial
advisor
have
been
and
discussions
with
one
another
gathering
reviewing
and
summarizing
those
proposals
we
are
here
today
at
106
I
want
to
offer
you
a
tentative
recommendation
for
the
lender
think
resolved
to
go
with
in
two
weeks
on
the
August
20th
regular
meeting.
L
We
expect
you
all
hope
you
all
will
select
a
bitter
and
improve
financing
of
these
vehicles
and
then
all
in
September
6
is
the
tentative
closed
date
that
we're
working
to
as
far
as
the
bid
process
and
the
responses
themselves
fairly
straightforward.
You've
requested
a
five-year
term
with
fixed
rates.
L
We
expect
our
first
debt
payment
to
go
out
August
of
next
year
after
five
years.
The
final
payment
would
be
August
of
2024.
There
were
at
least
50
lending
agencies
that
were
contacted
for
this
process,
including
national,
regional
and
local
organizations.
We
had
14
responses
and
two
home
trusts
was
the
locally
headquartered
entity
that
responded
to
us
our
primary
considerations.
L
L
L
B
L
C
A
L
L
F
To
know
that's
a
lot
of
money-
and
it's
never
been
done
before
right
here,
so
I
had
four
hundred
thousand
a
year
to
work
with
he
made
it
work.
These
cars
still
worked
is
now
we're
talking
all
this
management.
Forty
some
vehicles
or
somebody
throws
out
their
big
number
I
guess
just
because
we're
a
big
County.
We
can
do
what
we
need
to
spend
other
people's
money
again,
but
I
mean
personally
I
voted
against
this
total
budget.
This
is
part
of
one
of
them
again,
because
we
have
staff,
don't
have
a
man.
F
No,
we
don't
have
findings.
We
have
people
that
understand
behaviors.
He
understands
the
finisher
I
understand
certain
things
too,
but
the
thing
that
I
didn't
understand.
That's
why
we
have
people
in
different
departments
making
decisions,
1.6
million
dollars
of
the
county's
money
finances.
Now
we
we
had
a
screwed
up
very
ear
to
back.
We
got
1.8
million
dollars
for
them.
This
is
down
here
the
finance
for
15
years.
F
Anything
first
wheels
fall
off,
though,
and
I'm
a
good
shake
motor
quits
get
it
pulled
in
the
transmission
which
you
get
pulled
in,
but
you
know
these
guys
when
these
things
come
for
maintenance,
there
were
4,000
miles
of
your
toll
chain
gets
the
breakage.
X
gets
rotors
jacks
against
everything,
checked
for
suspension
on
these
cars.
For
these
guys
that
ride
down,
don't
matter,
it's
got
100,
don't
matter.
It's
got
10
liners
long
as
that
car
is
in
good
shape
and
the
suspension
does
what
it's
supposed
to
do.
F
A
H
So
the
actual
initiative
was
no
hard
cost
more
than
when
I
ended
up
with.
So
this
is
just
one
of
them
to
learn
some
vehicles
that
we
had
helped
and
I'm
pleased
that
I
Drive
and,
in
addition
to
that,
that
bit
will
be
used
again,
not
only
by
me
by
others.
So
to
answer
your
question
on
the
subway
now
I
will
tell
you
some
what
feeling
some
kind
of
way,
because
sheriff
Duncan
is
done,
the
same
thing
and
no
one
question:
you
know
what.
A
B
A
There's
three
commissioners
who
want
to
put
the
vehicle
replacement
policy
back
on
the
agenda.
We
can
totally
do
that,
but
the
decisions
been
made
to
procure
vehicles.
So
really
the
question
on
the
agenda
right
now
is
how
to
pay
for
it
and
if
there's
three
commissioners,
you
want
to
go
back
and
look
at
policy
again.
It's
a
fair
question,
but
I
would
I
would
want
to
see
that
people
gonna
go
back
and
spend
time.
Looking.
I
Just
want
to
let
you
know:
I've
stepped
out
and
talk
to
and
Duncan.
When
this
come
up
and
ask
him.
I
said
you
know
a
lot
of
vehicles
and
he
said
Mr
Presley.
We
have
not
ordered
none
over
the
past
and
I
have
to
totally
support
this,
because
we
have
not
been
getting
any
vehicles
last
for
years
and
I'm
Commissioner
fryer,
one
point:
six
million.
If
you
figure
out
you've
been
spending
four
hundred
thousand
a
year
on
them.
I
A
A
K
K
So
2020
census
overview
just
a
reminder:
the
federal
government
administers
the
census.
However,
the
federal
government
relies
heavily
on
local
organizations,
in
particular
local
government
census,
and
so
this
year
the
census
is
doing
that
again
and
they're.
Asking
for
our
support.
The
thought
process
here
is
that
we
had
the
relationships
in
the
communities
and
if
we
want
to
increase
participation
rates,
the
way
to
do
that
is
use
folks
than
notebooks
in.
E
K
Of
what's
coming,
long-term
postal
mailings
will
start
going
out.
Mid
March
of
2020
relate
to
the
census,
and
those
mailings
will
be
active
through
the
end
of
July.
This
year
the
census
is
piloting
a
few
options
to
take
the
census.
So
you'll
have
three
options.
When
you
receive
that
mailing
one
option
will
be
to
take
the
census
online.
So
this
is
a
new
process.
You'll
be
able
to
scan
a
QR
code
on
your
postcard,
that's
tied
to
your
address
and
we
yield
census
in
that
way.
K
Additionally,
you'll
be
able
to
complete
the
census,
the
poem
if
you
choose,
and
finally
as
usual,
as
we've
been
accustomed
to
you'll,
be
able
to
complete
the
census
in
person.
If
someone
comes
to
your
house,
quick
notes
as
you're
talking
to
folks
in
the
community
a
lot
of
attention
on
the
census
this
year,
census
will
never
email.
You
and
the
census
will
never
call
you
that's
not
going
to
be
their
mode
of
contact.
However,
if
they
do
come
to
visit
you,
they
will
have
appropriate
identification.
K
So
as
you're
talking
to
folks,
please
make
sure
that
they're
aware
that,
especially
as
we're
piloting
kind
of
a
new
method
of
taking
the
census.
A
final
note,
the
census
will
be
the
short
form
version
so
rather
than
600
questions
we're
talking
about
10
to
15.
So
that's
what
you
can
expect
I
just
quick
talking
points
folks
asking
in
the
community.
K
If
no
questions
there
will
proceed
to
the
next
slide.
So
this
is
all
about
participation
rates
we've,
given
you
the
last
two
censuses,
as
well
as
as
well
as
a
goal
or
2020.
So
the
federal
government
is
80
percent
goal
on
us,
which,
for
us
you
can
see
in
the
green,
is
a
four
percent
increase
on
the
last
census,
which
was
also
a
percent
increase
on
the
previous
census,
so
kind
of
tracking
with
our
steady
increase.
But,
as
you
know,
at
a
certain
point,
it's
hard
to
improve
on
really
good
marks.
K
One
thing
that's
really
important
for
us,
though,
is
to
communicate
the
significance
of
the
census.
I
know
you
know
the
value
of
counting
folks
and
what
that
means
politically,
but
I
wanted
to
quantify
it
for
you.
In
a
way
that
turns
into
dollars,
so
when
we
talk
about
the
census,
each
uncounted
resident
is
the
loss
of
approximately
sixteen
hundred
dollars
in
federal
funding
per
year
per
person.
So
sixteen
hundred
dollars
per
person
times
ten
years,
which
is
the
next
time
we
would
do
a
census,
would
be
approximately
sixteen
hundred
dollars
over
a
ten
year
period.
K
For
one
person,
that's
not
counted
again,
we're
counting
all
folks,
so
this
could
be
counting
a
newborn.
A
three-year-old
doesn't
matter
if
we're
able
to
increase
our
participation
rate
of
1%.
That
would
be
approximately
2,500
residents
in
Buncombe
County,
which
equates
to
4
million
dollars
in
federal
funding
annually
and
40
million
dollars
over
10
years,
just
by
a
1%
acres.
So
as
we
look
at
the
census
and
move
forward
just
wanted
to
give
you
some
talking
points
and
again
quantify
the
significance,
one
item,
I
would
say.
Dear
mr.
K
F
K
We've
extended
an
invitation
to
all
the
municipalities
in
our
county
and
some
are
taking
a
more
active
role,
I
just
pasted
on
their
time
commitments.
Additionally,
we
have
the
chambers
of
commerce,
they're
participating,
so
Asheville
area,
as
well
as
the
Black
Mountain
Swannanoa
chamber
and
then
finally,
a
heavy
support
from
our
county
departments,
so
our
Community
Engagement
Team,
Health
and
Human
Services,
Communications,
GIS
and
planning.
All
of
this
comes
together
to
identify
Commissioner
Belcher's
question:
how
is
the
community?
How
is
the
county
participated?
Our
goal
is
to
establish
a
complete
committee.
K
This
is
the
census
terminology,
a
CCC
and
the
purpose
of
that
complete
count.
Committee
is
really
hone.
The
messaging
create
the
buy-in
to
sort
of
get
folks
understanding
the
value
of
the
census
and
what
they
need
to
do.
The
county
will
not
be
knocking
on
doors
as
county
employees.
County
plays
make
volunteer
or
you
know,
take
on
temporary
jobs,
that's
separate,
but
as
a
county
organization,
our
job
is
really
to
organize
and
make
sure
the
word
gets
out.
Does
that
answer
your
question
a
mystery
a
little
bit
more
about
the
complete
count
committee?
K
K
Folks
in
the
community
so
use
us
to
get
the
word
out.
The
Buncombe
County
wide
CCC
will
include
representation
from
our
schools,
so
I'll
be
in
touch
with
PCs
and
ACS.
The
university
is
UNCA
a
BTEC
nonprofit
community
United
Way
as
an
example,
faith,
community,
business
community
and
the
media.
We
think
having
the
media
involved
is
a
key
way
for
us
to
get
the
word
out.
So
we
will
be
sort
of
standing
up
our
subcommittees,
which
will
include
folks
in
these
areas
and
then
get
to
work.
K
Next
step,
so
in
terms
of
the
near
term,
we're
trying
to
get
this
complete
count
committee
together,
so
we're
sending
out
invitations
to
folks
like
hey,
if
you're
interested
in
the
census
give
us
a
call.
Here's
how
you
loop
into
what
we're
doing
if
you've
got
your
own
initiative,
that's
great.
Let's
just
stay
in
contact
that
way.
K
We're
not
duplicating
will
convene
that
fool
group
sometime
in
late
August,
we'll
do
census
training
in
late
September
and
then
we'll
continue
to
develop
our
communication
plan
through
late
October,
so
that
we're
ready
in
April
2012
in
terms
of
an
ongoing
basis,
very
important
to
recruit
additional
census
employees.
So
again,
this
is
we're
not
paying
anyone.
This
is
federal
funding
for
Census
employees,
but
a
partnership.
Specialists
and
recruiting
specialists
are
critical
assets
for
census.
Those
are
part-time,
federally,
funded
positions,
and
the
census
is
having
trouble
this
year
recruiting
folks
for
those
positions.
K
K
K
Our
agenda
today
action
state
just
get
you
up
to
speed,
we'll
talk
about
some
of
the
observations
from
the
survey
that
we
issued
earlier
this
year
and
then
again
we'll
talk
about
next
steps
before
I.
Do
that
when
it
gets
there
a
quick
opportunity
to
update
you
on
her
role
from
a
regional
standpoint,
west
engine
projects
and
things
like
that,
the.
M
West
engine
project
came
out
of
our
last
economic
development,
strategic
plan
broadband
being
identified
as
kind
of
an
infrastructure
of
today's
time.
Water
sewer
roads,
not
broadband
because
of
all
of
the
facets
that
address
those
education
and
healthcare
and
specifically
with
broadband,
wants
trickiest:
there's,
not
a
lot
of
local
governments
that
have
a
grasp
on
how
it
intersects
with
the
private
sector.
There's
a
lot
of
policy
in
the
way.
There's
a
lot
of
money
in
the
way
and
how
we
funnel
that
money
in
the
right
place
is.
M
Responsibility
to
do
it
or
ours
solely
Anna,
Skye
several
years
ago,
started
to
dig
into
this
a
little
bit
deeper
and
thought
a
way
to
do.
This
would
be
to
attract
a
new
provider
into
the
area.
They'd
identified
six
urban
areas,
two
of
which
in
Buncombe
County
bill
our
forests
in
the
city
of
Asheville
and
put
out
an
RFI
to
get
that
process
started
we're
still
working
with
that
provider
who
wants
that
that
contract
and
to
remove
barriers?
M
But
it's
it's
no
small
feat
to
do
that
in
today's
a
political
climate
Phase
two
of
the
process
is
what
welcomed
County
at
large,
as
well
as
all
of
our
member
governments
are
part
of
which
was
to
do
a
regional
demand,
aggregation
study.
The
reason
we
do
that
is
the
FCC
Maps,
grossly
over-represented.
What
happened
specifically
in
rural
areas
as
to
what
kind
of
coverage
is
served.
M
M
And
through
that
process
we
do
the
demand
aggregation.
We
put
together
these
profiles
that
also
have
a
lot
of
additional
ways.
We
see
that
opportunities
for
kind
of
next
steps,
things
we're
doing
in
policy
and
we
use
kind
of
the
big
package
of
all
that
data.
We
collected
back
over
the
last
few
months
to
drive
those
answers
for
you
guys.
K
And
so
at
this
point,
we'll
give
you
kind
of
a
preview
of
some
of
that
activities
that
have
occurred
so
actions
to
date.
Sarah
came
and
presented
to
you
on
April
16th
at
your
regular
meeting,
updated
you
on
some
of
the
activities
that
were
occurring
since
then.
Two
major
things
have
happened
on
an
inventory
of
vertical
assets,
of
these
fancy
way
of
saying
tall
things
towers
all
stuff.
K
Our
County
staff
sort
of
went
forward
with
that
process
using
our
communications
folks,
but
also
our
community
engagement
folks,
so
they
reached
out
directly
to
community
centers
and
we
got
the
word
out.
Our
campaign
was
utilization
of
posters,
social
media
and,
in
some
cases,
in-person
visitation.
So
we
had
some
folks
actually
helping
others
complete
survey
at
community
centers,
just
to
make
sure
we
got
the
word
out.
K
K
K
B
K
K
Fun
stuff,
you
know
to
use
it
for
education
to
use
it
for
jobs.
Is
there,
however,
our
access
is
either
limited
because
we
don't
have
it
or
we
do
have
it.
The
quality
is
questioned.
So
it's
a
pretty
compelling
story.
When
we
look
at
our
survey
results
over
the
course
of
the
county.
You
know,
I
know
this.
K
You
know
when
we
look
at
the
county
as
a
whole.
Here
on
the
left,
you
know
lots
of
folks.
Do
you
have
access?
That's
indicated
by
those
green
dots?
However,
the
red
dots
are
kind
of
buried
in
them.
You're,
saying
Tim,
but
more
people
have
access
than
don't
that's
part
of
the
point.
Lots
of
people
do
have
access
if
you're
in
the
right
community,
if
you're
located
off
the
right
highway,
whatever
it
is,
but
we
still
need
to
pay
attention
to
those
that
don't
have
access
so.
F
E
M
J
M
K
The
conversation
continues
to
get
deeper
is
on
the
right.
We're
talking
about
quality
of
access
in
this
case,
blue,
is
back
I'm,
not
gonna
force
you
to
try
to
read
that
I'm
just
gonna
ship
to
the
next
slide
and
show
you
kind
of
what
we
saw
so
again.
Blue
dots
are
saying:
my
quality
of
access
is
not
adequate,
and
so
we
saw
kind
of
three
pockets
there's
more
than
that,
but
we're
stressing
about
it
Jim.
So.
K
Also
questions
about
the
quality
of
the
access
here,
tons
of
blue
dots.
What
I
would
say
is
that
say
any
much
community,
as
you
know,
is
fairly
well
organized
around
this
topic,
and
so
they
got
the
word
out
in
a
strong
way
where
we
also
sort
of
see
some
gaps
is
just
south
of
Barnesville
right
overhearing,
it's
the
reims
Creek
area.
Probably
we
call
it
so
again,
some
pockets
of
you
know
service
and
then
over
here
and
sort
of
the
southeast.
So
the
broad
river
area,
seeing
against
some
caps,
should
be
surprising
to
us.
K
K
F
F
F
Frustrating
part,
is
you
pay
X
number
of
dollars
where
it's
50,
60,
$70
and
then
a
year
later,
it's
slows
name,
you
know
and
then
there
and
they
happen
to
make
a
decision
on
reopening
call
him
threaten
that
switch,
and
you
know
get
you
ice
good
and
all
that
what's
it
supposed
to
so
they
were
doing
this
act.
You
know
there
was
a
part
of
me
that
was
saying
you
know.
K
Exactly
the
quote
that
I'll
steal
from
Keith
Conover
who
works
for
NC,
apartment
of
information
technology
and
CB
NT,
he
says
the
broadband
is
market
driven,
not
regulated,
and
that's
exactly
what
it
is.
It's
a
utility
where
supply
and
demand
is
king,
but
there's
no
regulation
to
require
service
in
a
way
that
we
would
postal
mail
or
something
of
that
nature.
So
it's.
K
K
Ndit
is
going
to
manage
this
meeting
for
us
that
way
they
can
provide
kind
of
a
firewall
between
us
and
providers
as
a
government
and
a
private
entity,
and
the
purpose
will
be
to
sort
of
show
the
providers
one
invite
them
all.
You
know
so
you're
already
here
skyrunner
you
already
here
18,
but
maybe
you're
on
the
west
coast.
You
wanted
to
get
into
an
East
Coast
market.
Why
do
we
do
that?
We're
just
trying
to
increase
competition,
it's
basic
supply
and
demand
goal,
given
the
data?
What
can
you?
What
can
you
do
for
us?
K
K
So
we'll
provide
additional
details
in
September
about
that
purpose.
That
meeting
you're
welcome
to
join,
but
it's
not
meant
to
be
a
board
meeting
per
se
or
really
a
meeting
where
we
just
yell
at
our
providers.
It's
not
really
the
goal.
Our
goal
is
to
get
them
information
so
that
they
can
provide
quality
service
or
improve
it
earlier
are.
A
M
A
So
these
are,
these
are
mostly
not
tall
things
that
are
publicly
owned
property,
but
you're.
Just
kind
of
look
me
out
there
in
the
community
like
where
are
things
that
could
be
infrastructure
but
they're,
mostly
private
property
private
instead
they're,
essentially
like
any
kind
of
existing
site
control
to
for
this
particular
purpose
that
would
have
to
be.
You
know
someone
we
have
to
work
on
it
either.
One
of
the
providers
or.
M
But
we
need
to
work
that
there
are
examples
and
other
County
is
where,
if
you
own
a
tower,
you've
got
a
lease
feed
off
of
that
for
that
space,
but
the
way
that
the
county
might
amend.
That
is
that,
if
you're
doing
it
in
a
rural
area,
maybe
it's
less
of
a
lease
fee
or
not
only
speed
for
a
certain
number
of
months
until
they
get
a
customer
based
established.
A
K
K
F
B
C
A
A
This
meeting
they
like
to
having
the
ability
to
kind
of
preview
some
stuff
before
we
are
actually
voting
on
it.
I've
heard
Bennifer
some
questions
about.
Is
this
the
best
time
of
day
for
it
I've
heard,
like
I've
heard
a
few
members
talk
about
what
if
we
moved
it
more
into
the
afternoon,
so
we
kind
of
come
over.
B
H
A
F
Said
not
allege
that
plagues
papers
time,
that's
fine!
It's
just
like
sure
we
had
to
have
a
discussion
with
surf
sitting
behind
me
if
I'm
sitting
upstairs
he's
looking
at
me
and
I'm
looking
at
him
and
that's
the
way
I
want
it.
I
want
the
people
sitting
out
there.
Thinking
looking
at
me
and
that's
the
way
it
should
be
working
not
searching
for
a
table
with
people
behind
you.
C
F
I
think
you
make
I
think
that
anytime
you're
starting
a
series
of
meetings-
and
you
have
a
few
there's-
certainly
nothing
wrong
with
with
trying
up
there
at
three
o'clock
and
see
how
that
works.
I
do
like
the
fact
that
it's
closer
to
the
meeting,
because
I'm
gonna
go
and
try
to
other
than
going
and
getting
me
a
sandwich.
I'm
gonna
figure
out
what
to
do.
The
next
couple
hours
I
usually
push
a
default
that
and
go
and
work
in
the
office.
F
J
J
Here
because
it
does
feel
like
a
different
kind
of
setting
and
I
think
the
chamber
is
it
just
is
such
a
formal
setting,
which
is
good
in
some
ways,
but
I
think
for
these
kind
of
discussions,
I
like
the
opportunity
to
interact
with
staff
I
like
the
opportunity
to
interact
with
so
many
different
staff.
It's
like
getting
to
know
more
staff
there
once
in
a
while
there's
an
item
on
these
agendas.
J
I
can't
think
of
one
necessarily
today,
but
where
it
feels
like
it
might
fit
on
the
five
o'clock
at
done,
the
equally
as
a
county
manager,
updated
or
just
staff
level
presentation,
something
that
you
know
I
think
it's
nice
to
imagine.
We
have
people
tuning
into
this
and
that
I
think
it
folks
are
gonna.
J
And
I
think
would
be
good
to
set
up
some
protocol
where
and
if
people
are
talked
like.
We
have
never
seen.
You
speak
to
people
from
here
versus
kind
of
back
and
forth
in
in
this
space.
So
there's
going
to
be
that
back
and
forth
that
there's
a
little
more
structure
around
it
and
it
sort
of
follows
that
decorum
and
protocol
we
use
anytime
we're
talking
with
other
folks.
J
I
O'clock
o'clock,
9
o'clock
doesn't
matter
to
me:
I
usually
try
to
make
Jews
D
my
long
day
schedule
everybody,
but
I
I,
just
don't
like
havin,
where
you
have
to
turn
around
to
talk
out
I
mean
you
could
do
a
set
in
word.
We
could
see
everybody
I
mean
many
time.
Is
that
intensity
is
what
you're
not
contact
is
what
I'm
really
big.
On
this
hand,
how
other
people
reacting
to
what's
being
said
is
why
I
would
love
to
do
it
upstairs.
A
E
A
C
Agree
with
that,
it's
important
that
we
have
these
sessions,
that
we
can
talk.
I
do
like
the
structure
where
it's
more
informal
and
not
a
formal
side
and
I
want
staff
to
be
engage,
and
you
know
them,
and
they
know
present
to
you
so
I,
like
the
informality
of
it
so
but
I
serve
at
your
pleasure.
A
Well,
I
appreciate
you
I
think
we
should
your
suggestion
to
do
these
I
think
I've
read
a
good
addition
to
do
how
we
started
looking
at
issues,
especially
when
they're
not
ready
to
vote
on
right
now,
but
our
you
know,
they're
things
are
starting
and
we
can
have
some
learn
some
stuff
and
give
some
informal
feedback
along
the
way.
I.
Would
you
know
I
think
I
would
lean
towards
the
afternoon
at
3:00,
maybe
even
3:30
and.
A
A
A
B
A
B
K
C
A
A
Just
say
just
in
terms
of
these
means
are
good
I,
but
I
don't
think
we
should
necessarily
I
think
this
question
about
the
coated
item
of
the
agenda
for
this
meeting
versus
the
5
o'clock
meeting.
That
is
an
important
question
right,
because
I
think
in
some
ways
the
five
o'clock
meeting
will
always
get
more
public
attention
in.
A
Would
suggest,
let's
put
it
on
the
five
o'clock
meeting,
with
the
understanding
it's
for
informational
purposes
only.
This
is
just
the
first
discussion,
not
the
voting
discussion,
but
things
that
are
really
important
to
us.
I
think
in
some
ways,
if
we
put
too
much
of
that
on
these
meetings,
I
think
it
diminishes
to
five
about
me.
We've.
C
Everything
here
will
come
to
you
at
five
o'clock
and
eventually,
yes,
eventual
history,
so
this
is
actually
giving
you
a
heads
up
to
know
that
we're
still
working
on
items
and
you'll
see
these
again,
but
at
five
o'clock
a
lot
of
times,
it's
not
ready
for
us
to
talk
about
it
beyond.
Just
here's,
a
heads
up.
F
You
don't
want
to
happen
is
something
in
the
pre
meeting
for
this
type
of
environment.
Where
that
it
comes
to
us
and
because
it
looks
like
there
might
not
be
enough,
you
know
it
wasn't
that
warm
and
fuzzy
you
know
as
far
as
our
conversations
and
it
never
shows
up
on
the
agenda.
You
know
with
the
color
then
you're,
making
those
decisions
in
in
that
meeting
and
we're
not
we're
not
getting
the
full
puzzle
game
time.
That
makes
sense.
F
B
F
One
put
this
on
the
agenda.
You
know
you
know
yeah
and
then
hey
that's
what
this
conversation
is
about.
If
somebody
wants
to
quit
dealing
with
you,
then
you
know:
let's
move
it
and
do
it
I
see
a
lot
of
that
type
of
thing
coming
out
of
this
we
have
an
office
at
all.
I
do
hope.
We
talk
as
much
up
there
as
we
do
here.
I
do
not
like
the
way
this
is
laid
out.
Okay,
I
do
hope.
We
talk
as
much
up
there
or
more.
F
Conversation
needs
to
be
I
mean
we
got
to
have
our
deform,
but
we
don't.
We
don't
want
to
owe
anything
back.
Cuz
I
mean
you
know,
brownies
done
a
good
job.
You
know
in
reeling
that
type
of
thing
yeah,
so
we
don't
need.
We
need
to
be
able
to
say
you
know
respectfully
what's
on
our
mind
and
get
it
out.
A
All
right,
good
conversation
hey
before
we
adjourn
one
item
of
the
agenda
tonight.
There's
information
in
your
packets
is
the
internal
audit
director
recommendation.
This
is
coming
from
the
audit
committee
correct
and
the
Commission
does
not
need
to
better
than
this.
Do
we
or
do
we
or
is
this
just
simply
that
we're
gonna
get
us
an
important
position
as
a
position?
Terry
wells
I
mean
tips.
Our
oranges
had
and
I.
C
C
A
E
N
I've
attended
the
two
listening
sessions:
they've
both
been
fairly
well
attended
and
the
one
in
Black
Mountain
had
a
whole
host
of
different
questions
than
the
one
last
week
in
Weber
bill
I
wouldn't
want
to
share
with
you
the
one
from
Weaverville
last
week.
The
question
that
we
ended
on
was
as
residents
of
Buncombe
County.
How
can
we
support
law
enforcement
to
the
point
of
it
being
a
desirable
career
for
folks,
graduating
college
and
in
high
school
and
wanting
to
be
a
part
of
law
enforcement?
N
So
I
just
wanted
to
share
that
I
thought
that
was
a
really
interesting
conversation,
that's
starting
to
bubble
up
at
a
time
where
law
enforcement
is
really
struggling
to
recruit
people
to
want
to
serve
in
those
jobs.
So
Sharon,
Miller,
chief
deputy
of
our
heart,
really
took
those
comments
to
heart
and
I'm,
looking
forward
to
seeing
how
we
can
also
support,
then
in
those
efforts
to
hire
and
to
recruit.
N
I
You
so
I'm
thing
I
got
is
that's
doing
these
meetings,
I
like
it.
What
time
does
not
matter
than
me?
Three
o'clock
could
be
good,
but
I.
Don't.
A
I
F
You
know
my
only
comment
is
I
want
I,
want
that
I
want
this
communication,
open
I
want
out
there
I'm
just
talking
about
it.
I
don't
want
people,
thinking
that
you
know
that
to
commissioners
or
or
how
every
number
of
Commissioners
they're
talking
or
trying
to
manipulate
things
that
staff
is
doing
XYZ
all
that
stuff.
You
know,
we've
put
all
this
out,
so
people
can
see
that
and
see
how
we
discuss
him
and
get
everything
else,
because
I
don't
want
to
be
surprised.
