If
we
are
able
to
get
through
these
items-
and
we
have
time
commissioner
sloan
requested
some
time
to
talk
about
a
proposal
that
has
originated
from
the
eastern
band
of
the
cherokee
regarding
the
naming
of
the
location
inside
the
great
smoky
mountains
national
park,
so
you
still
want
to
talk
about
that
today.
If
we
have
time
correct,
if
we.
B
B
While
I'm
sharing,
I
may
ask
you
all
some
questions
feedback.
If
there's
anything
that
you're
hearing
from
the
community,
you
have
any
questions,
please
don't
hesitate
to
pause.
I'd
like
to
even
get
your
input
about
our
impact
where
we
want
where
we
hope
to
make
an
impact
and
if
there's
anything
missing.
B
B
A
project
team
is
beginning
to
work
through
the
details
regarding
the
strategies
to
be
funded
based
on
feedback
so
far
next
month,
we
anticipate
to
be
bringing
a
draft
financial
plan
to
the
board
for
input
to
then
present
a
final
recommendation
for
approval.
In
september,
we
have
introduced
our
ongoing
strategic
plan,
which
outlines
how
we
continue
to
prioritize
settlement
funds
over
the
course
of
the
next
17
years,
using
community
engagement
and
data
to
inform
those
decisions,
and
this
should
begin
in
september
november
of
this
year,.
B
B
B
And
this
again
is
the
a
reminder
of
the
strategies
approved
through
the
memorandum
of
agreement.
We
are
narrowing
down
which
strategies
can
have
the
biggest
impact
based
on
current
needs,
but
through
further
collaborative
strategic
planning,
we'll
be
able
to
expand
to
strategies
outside
of
this
list
in
order
to
focus
on
the
unique
needs
of
our
county.
B
Many
of
these
strategies
overlap,
and
so
because
one
strategy
isn't
prioritized
does
not
mean
a
program
would
not
get
support
so,
for
example,
recovery
support
services
could
cover
the
costs
of
peer
support
or
care
navigators
within
re-entry
programs.
Syringe
service
programs,
post-overdose
response
teams
supporting
evidence-based
addiction
treatment
could
also
include
treatment
for
incarcerated
persons.
B
There
we
go
so
one
way
that
feedback
was
gathered
was
through
a
survey
on
our
public
input
page,
which
was
available
from
april
13th
to
may
25th.
Participants
were
asked
to
rank
a
list
of
seven
strategies
in
the
order
they
felt
were
most
important
for
buncombe
county
to
invest
opioid
settlement
dollars.
B
B
Our
other
venue
of
gathering
proximate
community
feedback
is
through
the
behavioral
health
justice,
collaborative
where
a
diverse
group
of
community
stakeholders
identified
problems,
needs
and
barriers
in
our
community
and
then
identified
the
immediate
priorities
for
settlement
funding.
There
were
also
conversations
regarding
ideas
to
better
support.
Our
community
that
looks
more
to
the
root
causes,
addresses
prevention
and
mitigating
the
downstream
impacts
to
our
community.
B
Our
may
behavioral
health
justice
collaborative.
We
continue
to
dive
deeper
in
identifying
strategies
to
meet
the
needs
of
the
community
and
those
that
aligned
with
the
memorandum
of
agreement,
reflecting
on
previous
meeting
outputs,
as
well
as
the
public
input
page
results.
These
were
items
initially
identified.
B
There
was
consensus
of
the
group
that
sustaining
current
programs
would
be
a
priority
if
current
funding
is
not
covering
the
need
and
or
is
expiring,
such
as
our
post-overdose
response,
syringe
services
and
addiction
treatment
in
the
detention
center
and
to
use
this
time
to
share
some
examples.
To
get
you
all
thinking
about
what
are
potential
strategies
that
we
may
want
to
prioritize.
This
initial
moment
is
through
various
efforts
within
the
community
to
increase
access
to
peer
supports.
B
Peer
supports
can
help
someone
access
support,
such
as
transportation
to
appointments
being
that
connection
needed
to
wait
till
there
is
a
spot
available
to
start
treatment
or
be
a
point
of
contact
when
they
are
ready
to
access
treatment
and
then
linking
clients
to
other
services
and
supports
our
rural
partners.
Have
shared
that
access
to
treatment
as
a
challenge
due
to
their
not
being
resources
close
to
home
and
having
limited
transportation
options
being
able
to
assess
geographic
needs
and
partnering
with
surrounding
counties
that
may
have
services
more
accessible
to
where
a
buncombe
county
resident
resides?
B
B
The
first
one
was
increase,
availability,
timeliness
and
accessibility
of
treatment
services
increase
the
number
of
medical,
clinical
and
peer
support.
Professionals
working
in
local
treatment
services
decrease
homelessness
in
the
community
reach
areas,
individuals,
there
we
go
populations
that
are
not
currently
served,
and
so,
instead
of
reading
through
all
that,
now
that
you
have
that
in
front
in
our
the
behavioral
health
justice
collaborative,
we
identified
the
selection
criteria
and
weighted
them.
B
A
For
you
know,
folks
who
have
addiction,
you
know
they
lead
to
addictions
and
feed
the
addictions,
and
so
I
don't
know
just
as
part
of
this
conversation,
I
guess
I
would
like
to
continue
to
learn
more
about
how
things
are
going
in
terms
of
the
trends
around
efforts
to
address
the
over.
You
know
the
over
prescribing
of
these
legal
medications
but
which
are,
very
you
know,
very
addictive
and
very
dangerous.
So
that
would
be
one
question.
I
would
have
right.
E
And-
and
in
relation
to
that,
that's
one
thing
when
I
was
looking
over
all
this
information,
which
I
really
appreciate
the
level
of
detail
that
you're
sharing
with
us
was
kind
of
that
preventative
lens.
I
know
you
mentioned
that
early
on
and
I
think
you
have
it
a
few
years
down
the
road,
but
I
would
really
love
for
us
to
be
looking
at
that
all
along,
because
it
seems
really
clearly
it's
important
that
we're
addressing
where
people
are,
but
we'd
really
like
to
impact
the
fact
that
people
don't
get
started
down
this
road
right.
B
And
that's
where
we
are
partnering
with
different
groups
that
are
looking
at
that
and-
and
we
were
just
having
the
conversation,
as
you
know,
it
is
very
important.
We
don't
want
to
rush
because
it's
a
very
systemic
right,
deep,
there's
still
some
level
high
level
things,
so
that
is
still
part
of
our
conversation.
B
B
And
so
next
steps
that
the
board
can
expect
and
again
the
slot
this
is
not
working
is
incorporating
information
we
have
now.
We
will
be
meeting
with
a
time
limited
project
team
on
a
weekly
weekly
basis
to
draft
a
financial
plan
for
initial
use
of
funds
by
further
defining
the
strategies,
allotting
dollar
amounts
and
the
time
frame
to
be
funded.
So
one
thing
I
want
to
make
you
all
aware
of
the
moa
expects
at
the
least
that
the
board
approves
a
strategy,
a
dollar
amount
and
a
time
frame
for
funds
to
be
spent.
B
As
you
can
imagine
right,
there's
it's
never
too
short
of
a
time
to
do
something,
but
we
also
want
to
be
planful.
So
our
thoughts
are
we're
going
to
work
with
share
with
you
all
a
strategy,
a
dollar
amount
and
a
time
frame,
and
then,
through
september
to
december,
we
will
continue
to
kind
of
fine-tune.
B
It
also
gives
us
some
boundaries
to
operate,
because
we
could
go
into
a
lot
of
different
directions
to
really
then
narrow
in
and
then
continue
this
process
for
fiscal
year,
24
and
further
planning.
But
I
wanted
to
make
sure
that
you
all
were
comfortable
with
that
high
level
approval
of
strategy,
dollar
amount
and
time
frame.
B
A
B
F
Oh
perfect,
so
this
is
a
very
long
name,
but
essentially
I'm
talking
to
you
today
about
an
interlocal
agreement
that
we
have
with
the
town
of
weberville,
where
we
provide
erosion,
control
and
stormwater
permitting
services
for
their
development
or
development
projects
within
their
jurisdiction.
And
we
do
this
for
several
municipalities
throughout
the
county
and
they
are
one.
G
H
A
F
Recently,
the
department
of
environmental
quality
has
been
doing
audits
of
a
lot
of
these
communities
and
their
permitting
programs,
and
in
the
audit
they
identified
that
the
existing
memorandum
of
understanding
with
the
town
between
the
town
and
the
county
was
not
sufficient
to
meet
their
needs,
and
so
they
just
need
a
more
robust
agreement
in
place.
It
doesn't
change
the
nature
of
the
relationship,
doesn't
change
the
services
that
we
are
providing
in
any
substantive
manner.
It
mainly
just
clarifies
things.
F
F
G
G
A
F
Yeah,
so
on
the
on
the
erosion
control
side,
they
do
not
so
on
the
erosion
control
side,
we
do
not
have
any
memorandums
of
understanding.
This
will
be
our
first,
and
that
is
because
we
are
a
delegated
authority
from
the
department
of
environmental
quality
to
provide
erosion
control
permitting
services
on
behalf
of
the
state.
F
F
A
F
A
F
A
I
I
So
from
the
nc
works
commission
there
was
a
request
for
counties,
and
so
that's
why
I'm
here
today,
and
so
the
commission
said
counties.
Please
take
a
look
at
these
guiding
principles
and
determine
basically
you
know
one.
Would
you
like
to
realign
your
workforce
development
board,
or
would
you
like
to
leave
it
as
is,
and
so
that's
the
question
we
bring
to
you
all
today,
just
to
get
you
up
to
speed.
I
So
how
did
this
all
even
get
started?
What
were
the
challenges
with
the
workforce
development
system
across
the
state,
and
there
were
basically
four
big
buckets
in
general,
there
was
some
concern
that
the
existing
workforce,
development
boards
weren't
aligned
to
efficiently
support
economic
development,
and
so
when
we
say
that
we
mean
you
know
helping
workforce,
get
to
employers
and
help
helping
potential
employees
get
to
those
employers.
I
Additionally,
there
was
a
large
variation
in
the
number
of
counties
and
the
number
of
individuals
that
these
workforce
developments
supported.
In
some
cases,
a
workforce
development
board
supported
a
single
county
and
their
residents,
but
in
other
cases
similar
to
ours.
You
know
we
have
a
workforce
development
board
that
covers
four
counties.
I
Let's
make
sure
that
you
know
these
workforce
development
boards
are
accessible
to
their
actual
labor
markets
commuting
patterns.
Let's
reduce
redundancy
redundancy,
let's
align
with
community
colleges.
Let's
make
sure
that
everyone
in
the
state
is
getting
consistent
service
and
then
ultimately
number
eight.
You
know
as
things
change,
you
know,
let's
revisit
the
state
of
the
workforce
development
boards,
so
those
are
the
guiding
principles
and
what
we
wanted
to
show
you
here.
I
One
initial
thought
from
the
nc
works
commission
was
to
make
our
workforce
development
boards
look
more
similar
to
what
you
see
on
the
right,
which
are
the
north
carolina
prosperity
zones,
and
so
that
gave
us
initial
pause
because,
as
you
look,
the
the
western
region
is
a
pretty
big
region
and
much
bigger
than
our
current
workforce.
Development
board
footprint,
which
is
on
the
left,
which
you
can
see,
is
that
four
county
footprint
that
we
are
familiar
with
from
the
land
of
sky,
and
so
our
initial
recommendation
was
you
know.
I
I
So
we
set
out
to
kind
of
assess
the
land
of
sky
workforce
development
board
against
those
challenges
identified
by
the
nc
works
commission,
and
that's
what
you
see
on
the
slide
and
so
our
takeaway
bottom
line
up
front
a
lot
of
the
challenges
that
were
noted
by
the
nc
works
commission.
We
didn't
really
see
present
here
in
the
land
of
sky
region
and
so
I'll
just
walk
through
those
quickly.
I
So
you
know,
are
we
aligned
in
an
efficient
manner
and
from
our
perspective
the
answer
is
yes,
our
four
county
region
is
linked
by
infrastructure.
You
know
our
interstates
I-26
I-40,
it's
obvious,
but
also
our
natural
boundaries.
You
know
our
mountains
clearly
create
commuting
patterns,
but
additionally,
our
waterways,
french,
broad
river,
swannanoa,
river,
key
elements
of
our
infrastructure
and
our
landscape
that
are
aligned
in
our
workforce
development
board
from
a
variation
standpoint.
I
You
know
our
four
county
region
mirrors
the
cog,
and
these
are
some
of
our
most
frequent
partners
in
economic
development.
Are
we
aligned
with
our
community
colleges?
I
think
it's
pretty
obvious.
We
work
extremely
closely
with
ab
tech
and
blue
ridge
community
college
on
projects
as
they
come
up
and
then
the
final
item,
you
know
single
county
workforce
development
board
is
just
not
applicable
in
our
scenario.
I
I
So
one
example
is
the
guided
compass
program,
which
is
to
help
build
careers
in
tech
and
I.t
the
inspire
recovery
to
work
program,
which
is
an
11
county
program
that
all
started
long
ago
with
someone
by
the
name
of
philip
cooper,
who
I
know
many
of
you
have
worked
with
over
the
years
who
challenged
us
to
think
about.
How
can
we
get
folks
out
of
recovery
and
into
employment
and
support
them
when
we
do
so
early
childhood
educator
workforce?
I
You
know
again
another
project
targeting
a
specific
need
in
our
community
getting
more
folks
into
early
childhood
education,
the
creation
of
the
first
post-secondary
credential
in
partnership
with
my
future
nc
and
then
finally,
on
august
9th,
at
the
convention
center,
there
will
be
the
western
north
carolina
rebounding
stronger
summit,
and
so
this
is
an
invite
from
to
the
federal
reserve
bank
and
they'll.
Come
talk
to
us
about
economic
trends
that
they're
seeing
here
in
western
north
carolina
and
how
we
can
get
in
front
of
some
of
those.
I
I
Additionally,
you
can
take
no
action
and
nothing
will
occur,
we'll
we'll
just
maintain
the
current
alignment
without
any
action
from
you.
Alternatively,
you,
if
you
reject
staff's
recommendation-
and
you
would
like
to
see
a
different
workforce
development
board
alignment,
we
could
certainly
look
into
that
and
bring
some
ideas
to
the
board.
I
E
E
E
A
A
A
J
J
J
We
immediately
saw
strong
public
interest
in
use
as
I'll
show
in
the
following
slides
and
so
a
little
over
a
year
later,
here
we
are,
and
the
county
was
awarded
was
just
awarded
twenty
two
thousand
five
hundred
dollars
of
through
the
community
waste
reduction
and
recycling
grant
through
the
state
department
of
environmental
quality,
to
expand
this
existing
drop-off
program
and
add
two
to
more
two
to
four
more
drop-off
sites
for
fiscal
year.
23.
J
J
It
is
a
top
priority
for
us
and
we
want
this
program
to
be
accessible
to
all
communities
and
we
know
how
vital
the
service
is
that
the
oakley
community
center
and
library
provide-
and
so
this
is
a
large
reason
why
we
chose
this
location
as
the
third
drop-off
site
and
moving
forward.
This,
you
know,
will
continue
to
be
a
factor
in
our
decision
for
citing
future
locations.
J
So
this
pie
chart
shows
the
current
drop-off
participation
by
zip
code.
We
get
zip
code
data
from
every
household
that
registers
for
this
program,
and
this
data
is
current.
You
can
see
that
the
downtown
south
slope
area
has
the
highest
participation,
and
that
just
means
that
we
are
meeting
that
need
with
the
stephens
lee
drop-off
location.
We
expect
to
see
that
in
the
data.
J
Over
the
next
few
months,
we
also
expect
the
east
asheville
participation
to
increase
with
this
opening
of
the
of
the
new
oakley
drop-off
site
and
for
future
expansion.
We
will
look
into
the
four
cardinal
directions
as
potential
areas
for
new
drop-off
sheds,
obviously,
west
asheville,
north
asheville
and
south
asheville
are
the
have
the
highest
participation
in
this
program.
A
So
can
this
make
one

As
I
mean,
this
is
an
interesting
chart,
I
mean
so
the
downtown
you
know.
Neighborhoods,
obviously
are
participating
a
lot,
but
it's
interesting
that
it
shows
that
there's
almost
similar
levels
of
participation
from
other
areas
of
the
community
right.
So
a
lot
of
people
obviously
are
from
neighborhoods
that
are
not
right.
There
are
bring,
are
bringing
their
compost
or
their
materials
to
be
composted
to
the
facility
right,
correct.
J
J
All
right
so,
according
to
national
data,
over
half
of
the
materials
are
that
are
landfilled
or
actually
organic
matter
that
is
able
to
be
diverted
in
buncombe
county.
The
preliminary
data
from
our
waste
characterization
characterization
study
shows
that
this
number
is
actually
closer
to
38
locally.
J
One
of
the
questions
that
we
most
frequently
receive
is
where
is
this?
You
know,
compost
going,
can
I
get
finished
compost
through
this
program,
and
so
danny's
dumpster
is
actually
the
company
that
we've
contracted
with
to
service
our
drop-off
locations
and
because
this
is
a
free
program,
we
are
unable
to
offer
finished
compost
to
the
public,
but
we
absolutely
do
intend
to
incorporate
compost
giveaways
at
some
of
our
grant
funded
outreach
events
later
this
year.
J
Another
compost
question
that
we
get
has
to
do
with
the.
Why
and
I
wanted
to
kind
of
quickly
review
why
composting
is
so
important
and
why
we
should
care
from
a
waste
reduction
perspective,
it's
extremely
effective
in
reducing
the
overall
amount
of
waste
getting
landfilled
and
again
nationally.
That
percentage
is
over
50.
J
Many
people
forget
that
high
quality
soil
is
needed
to
grow
their
food
and
compost.
It
provides
a
rich
mixture
of
nutrients
and
is
an
effective
soil
amendment,
so
it
you
know
overall
overall
makes
our
ecosystem
more
resilient
and
from
an
overall
climate
change
perspective.
The
greenhouse
gas
reduction
potential
is
huge,
so
now
a
bit
more
about
where
this
program
is
headed
in
fiscal
year
23.
J
This
is
how
our
drop-off
program
is
currently
set
up,
and
this
structure
will
continue
with
minor
adjustments
based
on
public
feedback
moving
forward.
So
the
first
step
is
residents
are
able
to
scan
the
qr
code
on
posters
around
the
county
or
they
can
go
to
the
website
and
register
for
this
program.
J
J
J
There
are
several
other
factors
to
consider
when
picking
an
expansion
site-
and
I
know
I've
touched
on
a
couple
of
them,
but
I
just
wanted
to
list
a
couple
more
so
first
is
it
within
danny's
service
area?
Danny
is
danny's.
Dumpster
is
pretty
much
the
only
composting
company
in
town,
so
we
are
limited
by
where
he
is
willing
and
able
to
service.
J
J
A
A
J
J
So,
looking
forward,
we
will
open
a
fourth
drop-off
site
in
this
summer,
actually
which
will
be
at
the
west
asheville
library,
based
on
the
aforementioned
factors.
We
will
also
finalize
and
expand
our
education
plan
in
the
fall.
We
are
going
to
open
a
fifth
drop-off
site
and
host
a
promotional
educational
event
about
the
program
and
about
composting
in
general
and
then
in
the
spring
we
will
assess
the
need
for
any
additional
drop-off
sites
and
host
a
second
educational
event
prior
to
the
grant
closeout.
D
Yes,
I
got
one
for
you,
I
recall
in
an
earlier
slide,
you
mentioned,
I
think
your
estimate
of
organic
matter
in
our
landfill
is
38
based
on
preliminary
numbers,
and
I
recall
you
telling
us
the
other
day
that
there's
a
study
coming
for
our
waste
stream
in
a
couple
months.
I
believe,
is
what
what
you
said,
and
I
guess
my
question
is:
are
we
going
to
have
kind
of
a
definitive
number
as
close
as
one
can
get
with
a
study.
J
D
J
A
A
Looking
ahead
beyond
kind
of
the
this
pilot
phase,
I
mean:
could
you
kind
of
describe
where
what
do
you
think
the
system
might
look
like,
and
maybe
three
or
four
years
down
the
road
or
five
or
six
years
down
the
road?
If
there
was
you
know,
if
it's
successful
kind
of
what
does
the
pilot
project
potentially
lead
to,
or
I
mean
I'm
sure,
we're
learning
we'll
be
learning
by
doing
what
we're
doing
here,
but
just
I
don't
know
what
what
do
you
potentially
see
beyond
the
pilot
phase.
J
Well,
the
pilot
phase
is
definitely
you
know,
demonstrating
a
need
and
desire
from
the
from
the
community,
and
that's
you
know
definitely
being
established
currently
with
our
pilot
program,
but
we
are
also
working
in
the
part
of
the
waste.
Characterization
study
is
identifying
priority
programs
for
our
department
to
pursue,
and
definitely
one
of
the
identified
programs
is
going
to
be
organics
management,
so
we
will
have.
J
We
are
working
on
that
and
we
will
have
a
better
picture
of
what
that
will
look
like
in
that
report
that
sds
is
working
that
we
are
working
with
scs
on
right
now.
I
will
say
that
the
part
moving
forward
this
partnership
and
program
will,
you
know,
continue
to
expand.
I
believe,
but
it
will
be
limited
by
staffing.
J
Operational
costs
are
minimal.
The
largest
annual
expense
will
be
that
hauling
contract
that
the
county
is
going
to
be
responsible
for
with
all
of
the
county-owned
drop-off
sites,
and
then
also
you
know
that
staff
time
that
goes
towards
maintaining
and
checking
in-
and
you
know,
working
with
the
community
answering
questions
that
kind
of
thing.
A
Well
great:
well,
I
look
forward
to
kind
of
learning
more
about
how
it's
going
anything
we
can
do
to
kind
of
get
the
word
out
about
this.
I
mean
I
had
kind
of
heard
about
it,
but
I
think
it's
still,
I
think,
there's
still
like
a
lot
of
public
awareness.
You
know
to
be
achieved
around
this
and
my
hunch
is
that
it'll
end
up
being
a
really
popular
program.
A
I
mean
the
asheville
area
and
buncombe
county
have
traditionally
had
like
among
the
highest
like
residential
recycling
rates
of
communities
in
the
state,
and
I
think
people
will
embrace
this
for
for
similar
reasons
right.
They
don't
want
stuff
to
go
to
the
landfill
if
they
can
avoid
it,
but
for
a
lot
of
just
households,
you
know
the
idea
of
kind
of
doing
your
own
composting.
It's
really
challenging
right.
A
A
I
think
this
is
exciting
because
it
creates
what
seems
to
be
like
what
will
be
a
very
user
friendly
process
for
people
to
to
take
their
compost
in.
So
I
just
it
seems
like
a
really
practical
solution,
so
I
think
it's
gonna
do
great
and
and
has
the
potential
to
really
make
a
difference.
So
so
I
would
just
encourage
the
staff
as
as
it
moves
forward
if
there
are,
if
there
are
opportunities
to
continue
to
support
it
and
scale
it
up.
I
mean
the
budget.
A
A
D
Yeah,
thank
you,
mr
chairman.
So
it's
a
little.
I
guess
kind
of
a
little
unusual
thing
for
us
to
look
at
and
discuss,
but
it
ended
up
in
the
news,
and
I
followed,
along
with
the
eastern
band's
tribal
council
last
week,
and
I
watched
their
meeting
and
their
discussion
focused
entirely.
Not
you
know
not
whether
this
is
the
correct
historical,
cultural
name
for
them,
but
but
merely
how
to
pronounce
it
was.
It
was
mainly
the
discussion
they
had
around
their
own
language
and
history,
so
I
thought
that
was
that
was
fascinating.
D
D
A
I
guess
I
have
one
are
other
local
governments
in
western
north
carolina
or
the
area.
Also
thinking
about
this
that
you're
aware
of
and
do
we
know
if
the
department
of
interior
or
park
service
have
kind
of
started
any
process
to
consider
the
idea,
or
is
it
really
at
this
stage
where
it's
sort
of
the
idea
is
being
elevated
from
the
eastern
band?
And
that's
just
that's
where
it's
at
at
this
point
it
hasn't
really
kind
of
gone
beyond
that
at
this
time.
Don't.
D
There's
no
other
local
governments
that
I'm
aware
of,
I
don't
don't
know.
I
think
this
with
the
the
tribal
council
just
voting
last
thursday
morning.
I
think
it's
their
intent
to
send
a
letter
to
the
department
of
interior
requesting
this
and
so
yeah.
I
don't
think
they've
had
certainly
have
time
to
react
to
my
knowledge.
A
Okay
and-
and
it
is
because
it's
within
a
national
park,
the
the
department
of
interior
and
park
service
have
the
jurisdiction
in
essence
to
decide.
This
is
what
we're
going
to
call
this
place.
Is
that
how
that
process
works?
Is
that
it's
they?
They
are
the
landowner
right
yeah,
so
they
have
the
sort
of
legal
authority
to
make
this
decision.
A
D
100
certain
on
whose
end
decision
it
is,
but
I
think
it's
a
coincidence
that
the
usgs
bureau
of
geographic
names
and
the
national
park
service-
and
I
forget
the
name
of
the
the
tribal
authority
under
interior
they're-
all
they
all
roll
up
under
interior.
So
it
all
kind
of
works
through
the
interior
department,
whether
it's
up
to
the
national
park
service
or
the
usgs.
E
And
my
question
was
kind
of
related,
as
specifically
has
the
eastern
band
requested
you
know
before
we
would
do
this.
I
would
hope
I
would
want
them
to
to
want
us
to
do
this.
Yes,
is
the
way
that
I
would
look
at
it,
so
I'm
I'm
supportive
if
they
are
wanting
us
to
to
join
them
in
this
type
of
resolution,.
D
H
I
I
would
be
supportive
of
us
moving
forward
but
kind
of
echo
commissioner
well's
question
of
just,
I
think,
making
sure
that
we're
kind
of
doing
our
taking
all
the
appropriate
steps
in
terms
of
the
language
being
reviewed
and
making
sure
that
this
is
indeed
kind
of
the
type
of
action
that
the
ebci
tribal
council
community
would
be
asking
kind
of
neighboring
communities
to
take.
So
I
I'm
in
I'm
and
one
way,
one
way
we
could
proceed
if
there's
the
will
to
do.
H
D
D
C
You
know
what
I
guess
I
would
be
more
cautious
here,
I'm
for
it,
but
I
think
it
would
be
good
for
us
to
look
into
it
and
then
let's
bring
it
back
at
the
august
meeting,
because-
and
I
look
this
is
great,
but
when
people
start
bringing
it
and
then
we
go
right
to
it
tonight,
I
need
some
time.
Okay,
yeah.
C
C
A
All
right
so
it
sounds
like
it
sounds
like
there's
interesting,
considering
the
proclamation
and
if,
if
folks
do
come
tonight,
they
can
certainly
speak
during
public
comment.
We
can
learn
more
from
them,
but
in
terms
of
commission
further
consideration,
it
sounds
like
there's
interest
in
placing
the
item
on
our
agenda
for
the
august
2nd
meeting
and
we
can
put
it
on
the
regular
meeting.
