We
wanted
to
take
a
moment
this
evening
to
with
great
sadness,
recognize
the
passing
of
Rodney
hasty,
a
dedicated
public
servant,
who
served
as
a
chief
assistant
district
attorney
in
Buncombe
County,
starting
in
2015
I,
wanted
to
take
a
moment
to
extend
support
and
condolences
to
his
family,
his
colleagues
in
the
DA's
office
and
many
people
across
our
community
who
mourn
his
passing.
Please
join
us
in
a
moment
of
silence
and
moment
of
support
for
his
family
and
friends
and
colleagues.
A
All
right
I'd
like
to
announce
that
anyone
who
is
attending
the
meeting
this
evening,
who
used
our
County
parking
garage
or
use
public
transit
to
attend
this
meeting,
can
receive
validation
for
your
parking
pass
or
transit
pass
from
one
of
the
officers
who
is
here
this
evening,
just
feel
free
to
see
them
on
the
way
out
of
the
meeting.
It
will
be
valid
for
today
only
I'd
like
to
read
the
ethics
reminder
to
the
board.
A
Is
there
any
item
on
the
agenda,
the
outcome
of
which
would
have
a
direct,
substantial
and
readily
identifiable
financial
impact
for
any
board
member,
and
does
any
board
member
have
a
financial
interest
in
any
public
contract
coming
before
the
board?
Today,
there
being
none
all
board,
members
have
a
duty
and
obligation
to
vote
on
any
matters
voted
on
by
the
board
at
the
meeting
this
evening.
A
Okay,
we
come
to
the
consent,
agenda
and
approval
of
the
agenda.
We
need
to
there's
been
a
request
to
remove
the
public
hearing
on
the
rezoning
request
from
this
from
the
agenda
this
evening.
I
think
it'll
be
rescheduled
for
a
future
meeting,
but
it's
not
ready
to
be
discussed
tonight,
and
we
also
would
like
to
move
we'd
like
to
have
a
brief,
very
brief,
closed
session
at
the
beginning
of
the
meeting.
So
I
don't
believe,
there's
any
reason
to
have
a
closed
session
at
the
end
of
the
meeting.
A
So
we'll
move
that,
with
the
approval
of
the
Commission,
to
have
a
brief,
closed
session
to
consult
with
an
attorney
at
the
beginning
of
the
meeting,
we
anticipate
anticipate
will
last
only
about
10
minutes
or
less
all
right.
Is
there
a
motion
to
approve
the
consent
agenda
with
the
removal
of
the
public
hearing
and
inclusion
of
a
brief,
closed
sessions
consult
with
the
attorney
at
the
beginning
of
the
meeting
and
any
members
of
the
public?
A
Well,
let's
first
see,
if
there's
a
motion
to
approve
so
moved,
are
there
any
questions
from
any
members
of
the
public
about
the
consent
agenda,
all
right
all
in
favor,
please
say
aye
aye
any
opposed
all
right,
as
I
mentioned,
we
do
need
to
have
a
brief
closed
session.
The
purpose
is
to
consult
with
an
attorney.
A
A
Unfortunately,
for
folks
in
the
room,
the
mics
are
not
going
to
be
working
properly,
so
I'm,
just
gonna
ask
all
the
commissioners
and
anybody
who's
speaking
to
please
just
you
know
project
as
well
as
you
can,
and
so
everyone
speak
up
for
the
meeting
tonight,
all
right
and
they
said
I,
don't
think
this
is
gonna
get
fixed
for
the
meeting
tonight.
All
right
so
sorry
about
that
Stephanie.
But
thank
you
for
being
here
and
we'll
come
back
to
you.
E
Attempts
to
make
it
work,
I
appreciate
having
an
opportunity
to
talk
tonight
about
the
work
that's
implemented
by
the
Buncombe
County
Tourism
Development
Authority,
to
attract
overnight
visitors
to
the
community.
The
BC
TDA
is
a
public
entity
with
the
public
purpose
of
attracting
overnight.
Visitors
to
create
customers
for
our
local
businesses,
provide
jobs,
generate
taxes
for
revenue
and
facilities
for
the
people
who
live
in
Buncombe
County
I'm
presenting
this
report
on
behalf
of
the
BC
TDA
and
our
Board
Chair
Gary
proba
is
here
with
me
tonight.
E
The
BC
TDA
was
created
by
North
Carolina
State
law
to
administer
the
proceeds
of
the
occupancy
tax.
The
board
is
appointed
by
the
Commission
and
the
City
Council,
and
one
seat
is
appointed
by
the
chamber
of
commerce
to
build
a
base
of
expertise
to
guide
the
investment
of
the
occupancy
tax
for
its
greatest
benefit.
The
annual
report
and
the
sales
and
marketing
plan
is
included
in
your
packet
and
it's
available
online
for
the
public
on
our

This
year,
115
new
tourism
businesses
work
on

receive
free
partner
benefits,
and
that
brings
the
total
number
of
tourism
partner
businesses
we
serve
to
almost
1,300.
Of
course,
everything
we
do
is
focused
on
attracting
people
to
visit
and
connecting
them
to
local
businesses.
These
local
businesses
represent
an
exciting
array
of
experiences
that
are
enjoyed
by
residents
and
visitors
alike.
They
are
independent
retailers,
artists
and
musicians,
food
and
beverage
professionals,
health
and
wellness,
cultural
and
outdoor
attractions
and
I
have
to
tell
you.
E
The
CVB
offers
programs
to
help
develop
and
retain
tourism
businesses.
Three
hundred
and
fifty
people
attended
our
annual
meeting
in
September.
We
offer
the

All
of
these

builds
relationships,
including
a

Each
of
these

We
hosted
a

and
two

There's
a
special
section
for
the
tourism
management
and
investment
planning
process
that
I
talked
to
you
about
a
couple
of
months
ago.
We
also
distribute
a
newsletter
monthly
and
maintain
a
community
Facebook
page.
So
in
total
we
visit
27
events
that
were
attended
by
1,400
local
people.
E
Last
year
our
team
also
engages
in
community
service.
You
can
see
us
here
working
at
the
community
garden
in
Black,
Mountain
and
helping
with
downtown
cleanup,
and
you
can
see
some
pictures
from
the
backpack
drive
and
the
Toys
for
Tots
Drive
we're
in
our
fourth
year
of
providing
funding
for
festivals
events
and
seminars
funded
with
revenue
that
we
earned
from
advertising
on
explore,
Asheville
comm
and
last
year
we
were
able
to
provide
a
hundred
and
eighty-five
thousand
dollars
to
39
local
organizations.
E
The
TPDF
has
become
the
largest
source
of
grant
funding
in
Western,
North
Carolina
prior
to
the
creation
of
the
dogwood
foundation,
and,
of
course,
75
percent
is
invested
in
tourism
promotion
that
attracts
customers,
local
businesses
and
provides
the
public
benefit
of
creating
jobs
and
tax
revenue,
and
that's
the
portion
of
the
occupancy
tax
that
funds
our
marketing
programs,
which
I
will
touch
very
briefly
on.
In
just
a
few
minutes.
E
The
product
Development
Fund
was
implemented
in
2001
and
has
awarded
forty
four
million
dollars
to
thirty
nine
community
projects,
including
ten
million
dollars
that
was
awarded
in
2018,
of
course,
you're
all
familiar
with
the
Incan
Ranka
recreation
destination,
grant
that
was
provided
in
partnership
with
you,
totaling
on
six
million
dollars.
The
North
Carolina
Arboretum
received
additional
funding
for
flights
and
parking
totaling,
nine
hundred
and
five
thousand
dollars.
The
National
innovation
hub
at
the
Center
for
craft
is
opening.
Next
month
they
received
a
gift
of
nine
hundred
and
seventy
five
thousand
dollars.
E
The
ymi
cultural
center
will
be
improved
through
a
grant
of
eight
hundred
thousand
dollars,
and
we
waived
the
matching
funds
requirement
for
this
project
that
will
help
them
become
more
economically
sustainable
as
they
build
out
a
space
for
meetings
and
events.
The
leaf
community
arts
organization
is
building
a
leaf
global
Art
Center.
E
Instead
of
providing
a
grant
for
the
African
American
Heritage
Trail,
we
offered
a
partnership
to
support
development
of
the
trail
system,
but
also
to
maintain
it
as
part
of
our
wayfinding
system
in
perpetuity,
and
our
team
is
working
with
the
community
to
preserve
and
present
African
American
heritage
with
a
website
that
will
complement
the
trail.
The
TPDF
is
also
providing
funding
to
expand
the
wayfinding
system.
E
We
updated
the
downtown
system
with
all
of
the
changes
this
year
and
our
design
team
held
input
sessions
for
stakeholders
in
the
river
arts
district
and
recently
shared
this
proposed
design
that
will
be
implemented
at
the
conclusion
of
construction.
A
few
months
ago,
I
presented
an
overview
of
our
tourism
management
and
investment
plan.
This
planning
process
represents
a
monumental
shift
in
the
approach
of
deciding
how
to
invest
this
sort.
This
resource
within
the
Mandate
of
the
law
that
created
it.
It
is
typically
typically
woops.
We
lost
the
slides
again
we're
good.
E
It
has
typically
been
an
application
based
process,
but
the
team
it
focuses
on
three
important
differences.
The
first
is
public
input
to
prioritize
opportunities
and
challenges.
The
second
is
a
collaboration
with
public
entities
to
develop
projects
for
investment,
and
the
third
and
most
important
is
to
plan
for
a
ten
year
period
of
investment,
so
that
we
can
accomplish
bigger
and
more
significant
projects.
E
We
are
entering
the
discovery
phase
that
will
focus
on
meeting
with
public
entity
teams.
Those
meetings
have
already
begun
to
be
scheduled
so
that
we
can
really
dig
in
to
urban
planning
strategies
that
will
help
manage
the
impacts
of
tourism
while
continuing
to
harness
the
benefits.
The
phase
one
report
will
be
presented
next
Wednesday
at
the
tourism
management
forum
and
I
hope
that
we
will
see
you
there.
E
The
biggest
benefit
of
the
BC
TDA
is
created
by
the
destination
advertising
that
expands
the
customer
base
for
local
businesses
of
all
kinds.
It
also
raises
awareness
and
creates
a
favorable
image
for
this
community
as
a
place
to
go
to
college
and
start
a
business
and
to
relocate.
Last
year
we
conducted
an
extensive
search
for
a
new
ad
agency
and
360
I
in
Atlanta
was
chosen
and
quickly
went
to
work.
E
Developing
new
media
strategies
and
creative
360
I
has
been
recognized
by
ad
week
as
the
breakthrough
agency
of
the
year
and
we're
happy
to
be
able
to
bring
that
level
of
expertise
to
work
for
Buncombe
County
explore
Asheville
also
employs
dozens
of
writers.
Fattah
refers
videographers
and
musicians
that
develop
creative
content
with
us
in
partnership
with
the
agency.
The
new
TV
spot
that
I
plan
to
show
you
tonight
is
also
created
with
a
primarily
local
cast
and
crew.
E
These
are
the
markets
where
we
are
placing
television
and
streaming
video
when
we
say
TV
ad,
it
doesn't
really
mean
on
the
TV
anymore.
We
buy
video,
mostly
in
two
flights,
one
that
starts
in
the
late
summer
and
moves
into
early
fall
and
another
that
is
spring
into
early
summer.
But
we
really
have
an
always-on
strategy
in
a
media
mix
that
includes
all
kinds
of
channels
from
paid
social
to
digital
search
engine,
optimization
and,
of
course,
video
in
20
ups.
They
deleted
missing
a
couple
of
my
slides.
E
We
were
we'd
plan
to
show
you
some
creative
tonight
that
the
abies
not
cooperating
so
we'll,
send
you
a
link
and
provided
on
social
media
channels
for
the
public,
but
in
2019
we
debuted
a
new
tagline.
Let
your
spirit
run
free,
letting
your
spirit
run,
free
means
being
spontaneous
and
open,
embracing.
The
small
and
big
surprises
that
asheville
is
sure
to
offer
up.
The
tag
line
was
developed
from
audience
insight.
E
Research
that
revealed
that
potential
visitors
feel
the
pressure
in
the
many
demands
that
they
face
in
everyday
life
and
that
they
have
to
do
and
that
they're
craving
for
an
escape
to
do
the
things
that
they
want
to
do.
I'm.
Sorry,
we
can't
play
the
new
creative
for
you,
but
we'll
get
that
to
you,
but
every
dollar
that
is
invested
in
paid
advertising
returns
forty-three
dollars
in
spending
at
our
local
businesses
and
three
dollars
in
sales
tax.
All
within
six
months
of
the
campaign
running.
E
Sorry,
these
got
out
of
order.
Somehow
that's
the
new
tagline,
let
your
spirit
run
free
and
that's
the
commercial
okay.
So
we'll
go
past
that
so
the
the
creative
is
designed
to
have
a
long-form
video
to
30-second
spots
in
two
15-second
spots,
to
show
kind
of
the
breadth
and
depth
with
the
visitor
experience
in
Buncombe
County,
and
we
just
filmed
additional
footage
last
week
that
will
continue
to
change
the
ads.
So
our
media
relations
is
kind
of
the
secret
weapon
of
getting
the
word
out
about
the
businesses
that
are
in
Buncombe
County.
E
This
year
our
team
secured
587
significant
placements
that
generated
2.3
billion
impressions
and
a
publicity
value
of
thirty
five
point:
eight
million
dollars.
Those
placements
result
from
our
team
of
three
PR
professionals,
doing
960,
custom
pitches
and
755
media
touchpoints.
We
also
hosted
57
journalists
on
site,
so
we're
creating
their
visits,
and
you
know
connecting
them
to
artists
and
makers
and
musicians
and
restaurant
tours,
and
you
know
all
of
the
businesses
that
are
now
able
to
receive
national
media
exposure
from
these
free
efforts.
E
E
Staying
ahead
of
the
headlines
and
in
the
mix
of
these
acts
accolades
year
after
year
is
not
an
easy
task,
and
just
recently
we
were
able
to
secure
through
a
special
effort
to
promote
Asheville
as
a
top
town
for
music,
some
very
significant
placements
from
rolling
stone
and
jam
base,
and
a
list
of
ten
prominent
music
publications
to
support
the
music
industry
here
and
create
a
more
sustainable
ecosystem
for
them
through
it
all.
The
team
is
on
the
road
at
these
locations
and
media
events.
E
There
we
go
and
media
events,
making
connections
and
sharing
stories
to
keep
Asheville
and
Buncombe
County
top
of
mind.
Our
content
and
social
program
is
managed
in-house
at

Asheville
for
Asheville's
receiving
almost
5
million
user
sessions
a

We
also
have
a
newsletter,
that's
distributed
to
120,000
qualified
users
a
month,
we've
hit
400,000
followers
on
our
social
channels,
and
we've
also
been
on
in
the
past
year,
developing
special
content
for
neighborhoods
and
other
townships
around
Buncombe
County.
E
Here
you
see
an
example:
that's
been
developed
for
Black
Mountain,
with
the
addition
of
more
listings
and
special
photography
and
new
videos,
and
you
know,
strategies
to
get
eyeballs
on
these
pages.
The
page
views
for
the
Black
Mountain
content
have
already
increased
74
percent
and
we
continue
to
build
these
out
for
other
areas
of
the
community.
Last
year,
as
I
mentioned,
explore,
Asheville
focused
on
improving
the
way
that
the
destination
and
our
industry
partners
appear
across
the
Google
ecosystem.
E
This
has
been
critical
as
Google
pushes
further
and
further
into
the
travel
space
to
ensure
the
region
was
well
displayed.
The
team
uploaded
more
than
500
photos
and
360
degree
images
into
Google
my
business
knowledge
panels.
These
assets
already
have
been
viewed
more
than
2
million
times.
We
also
added
more
than
50
Google
posts
to
the
Asheville
knowledge
panel
receiving
more
than
4
million
impressions.
E
We
believe
that
explore
Asheville
should
be
the
voice
of
the
destination
at
every
stage
of
the
visit.
That's
why
we
rolled
out
a
new
suite
of
tools
for
visitors
who
are
already
hearing
on
the
ground.
So,
let's
take
a
quick
look
at
welcome
to
AVL
com.
It's
available
on
both
desktop
and
mobile.
You
see
the
tile
interface
streamlines
access
to
the
content
and
real-time
parking
availability.
This
is
all
the
same
content.
E
It's
the
same
content
for
business
listings,
that's
available
on
explore
Asheville
dot-com,
but
it's
streamlined
to
make
it
easier
to
use
and
quicker
access
for
local
businesses.
It
also
helps
move
visitors
throughout
the
region
and
we
hope
it
will
help
with
repeat
visitation
and
longer
stays
by
enhancing
visitor
satisfaction
and
improving
awareness
of
everything
there
is
to
see
and
do,
and
once
you
click
further
into
the
site.
E
Our
sales
team
attracts
groups
to
bunkin
County,
including
meetings
convention,
social
groups,
tour
groups,
weddings
and
sports.
The
bedrock
of
any
sales
program
is
person-to-person
contact.
Last
year,
our
team
of
five
sales
managers
logged
a
whopping,
twelve
thousand
nine
hundred
and
one
personal
contacts
they
issued.
981
sales
leads
an
increase
of
twenty
four
percent,
and
we
we
had
five
hundred
and
sixty
six
groups
commit
to
hold
future
events
in
Buncombe
County.
E
Two
years
in
a
row,
a
route
is
an
International
Cycling
event
that
we
were
able
to
attract
in
partnership
with
the
Sports
Commission.
They
spent
1.4
million
dollars
with
local
businesses.
For
this
weekend
event,
the
Spartan
raised
six
point:
two
million
dollars
in
total
business
spending
and
the
SoCon
championship
tournament.
You
know
it's
spring
and
Asheville.
How?
What
would
it
be
like
without
soaked
on
brings
five-and-a-half
million
dollars
of
spending
on
that
weekend?
So
that
is
a
very,
very
brief
highlight
of
the
work
we
do
at
explore.
E
Asheville
the
Explorer
astral
team
is
privileged
to
represent
this
community
and
play
a
role
in
attracting
customers
providing
jobs,
generating
tax
revenue
and
developing
facilities
that
benefit
the
people
who
live
in
Buncombe
County.
The
people
who
visit
Buncombe
County
spent
two
billion
dollars
a
year
at
local
businesses.
They
generate
almost
200
million
dollars
of
state
and
local
taxes,
including
31%
of
sales,
tax
revenue
and
19%
of
property
tax
revenue
they
provide
over
27,000
jobs,
including
18,000,
at
tourism-related
businesses.
So
thank
you
for
having
me
back.
Do
you
have
any
questions.
E
Yeah
during
during
phase
one
of
the
tourism
management
investment
plan,
we
hosted
three
public
input
sessions.
We
conducted
a
community
Sentiment
Survey
that
2,600
people
participated
in.
We
also
did
extensive
evaluation
of
current
conditions,
and
so
the
phase
one
report
will
be
presented
next
Wednesday
at
the
Ferguson
auditorium.
The
program
starts
at
6:00.
We
asked
the
people
RSVPs
and
we
know
how.
F
E
A
G
G
G
Thank
you,
okay,
great!
Let's
want
to
have
my
slides
go.
So
the
family
justice
center
is
a
part
of
the
coordinated
community
response
to
domestic
violence
and
sexual
violence.
We
have
ten
on-site
partners
that
all
serve
some
function
in
terms
of
providing
services
and
support
to
victims
of
sexual
assault,
domestic
violence,
elder
abuse
and
and
child
maltreatment,
and
a
part
of
the
coordinated
community
response.
G
So
I
wanted
to
take
a
brief
moment
and
just
talk
about
three
key
points.
I'm
going
to
talk
about
fjc
data,
then
I'm
going
to
talk
about
kind
of
what
our
current
outcomes
and
successes
are
and
then
looking
ahead.
So
for
FY.
Excuse
me
so
for
the
first
three
years
of
the
Family
Justice
Center
being
an
operation,
we
just
celebrated
our
our
third
anniversary.
In
July,
we
have
certain
served
1707
new
clients
who
have
gone
through
the
integrated
intake
process,
which
is
a
fundamental
part
of
the
Family
Justice
Center
model.
G
Those
are
all
new
clients
served
not
returning
clients
in
FY
nineteen
690
people
accessed
in
integrated
services
for
the
first
time
at
the
Family
Justice
Center.
That
is
a
15%
increase
when
you
compare
the
numbers
to
the
previous
fiscal
year
and
in
FY
19
51%
of
survivors
accessed
more
than
one
provider
at
their
initial
intake.
So
at
their
first
experience
of
accessing
services
at
the
Family
Justice
Center,
51
percent
of
survivors
were
able
to
access
more
than
one
organization.
G
G
So
to
move
on
to
some
excessive
and
advancements,
I
wanted
to
highlight
our
intake
data.
Our
survey
data,
so
after
Survivor
goes
through
their
initial
intake.
We
asked
them
if
they're
willing
to
complete
a
survey
and
from
those
surveys
results.
We
found
that
92%
of
survivors
responded
that
they
left
with
a
plan
to
keep
themselves
safe
and
they
knew
what
to
do
after.
They
left
the
fjc
after
their
first
initial
intake
at
the
Family
Justice
Center.
G
In
addition,
69%
this
past
fiscal
year
of
survivors
who
completed
the
survey,
responded
having
experienced,
decreased,
fear
and
anxiety,
just
after
their
first
intake,
first
interaction
with
us,
some
other
successes
and
accomplishments.
Several
years
ago,
the
governor's
crime
Commission
created
a
dedicated
funding
category
for
Family,
Justice,
centers
and
co-located
services,
and
they
continue
to
refer
other
counties
who
were
interested
in
Family
Justice
centers
to
the
Buncombe
County
Family
Justice
Center,
to
see
how
we
operate
and
learn
best
practices.
G
In
addition,
the
Buncombe
County
Family
Justice
Center
was
featured
myself
and
one
of
our
one
of
our
active
survivors.
That's
the
chair
of
the
survivors
voices
committee.
We
Co
facilitated
a
national
directors,
call
for
all
of
the
Family
Justice
Center
directors,
and
we
provided
a
training
on
how
to
do
survivor,
focused
work
and
how
to
keep
survivors
at
the
center
of
our
decision-making
and
our
programming.
G
So
looking
ahead,
some
of
our
priorities
for
this
current
year
are
our
domestic
Vons
fatality
review
team
want
to.
Thank
you
all
for
voting
in
support
of
that.
Last
year
we
have
been
meeting
since
November
of
last
year.
We
have
selected
a
case
and
according
to
this
PowerPoint,
we
were
scheduled
to
do
a
two-day
full
case
review
next
week.
However,
with
the
passing
of
Rodney
hasty,
who
was
an
active
integral
member
of
our
team
and
per
state
session
law
were
required
to
have
a
member
of
the
DA's
office.
G
At
that
review,
we
have
decided
to
postpone
and
reschedule
to
give
the
DA's
office
some
more
time
to
identify
the
right
person
for
that
team,
but
we're
looking
forward
to
get
that
to
getting
that
rescheduled
in
the
next
couple
of
months
and
being
able
to
present
those
findings
and
recommendations
to
you
all.
Also
this
upcoming
year
that
this
fiscal
year
we're
gonna,
be
focusing
on
strategic
planning
looking
at
what
where
we
want
to
be
in
the
next
three
to
five
years.
G
H
Thank
you
so
much.
Thank
you
so
much
for
the
commissioners
for
your
support
of
the
Family
Justice
Center
sexual
violence
still
continues
to
be
one
of
the
most
underreported
crimes
in
the
nation.
Having
said
that,
what
we
found
is
with
the
Family
Justice
Center
in
since
its
opening
in
2016
is
that
we
have
seen
a
market
increase
in
survivors
of
sexual
violence.
Not
only
calling
and
picking
up
the
phone,
but
also
walking
through
the
Family
Justice
Center
doors
is
the
chart
will
note
what
the
growth
has
been
year.
H
H
We
don't
feel
that
it's
because
human
trafficking
has
increased
in
our
area.
It's
we
feel
it's
pretty
much
the
same
any
time
you
have
that
recipe
of
tourism
airports,
interstate
highways.
You
know
you
are
bound
to
have
human
trafficking,
but
what
we
found
is
is
that,
as
a
result
of
the
outreach
that
our
voice
has
been
able
to
do
in
the
community
and
training
on
what
human
trafficking
looks
like
with
other
service
providers,
that
we
have
seen
an
increase
in
referrals
to
our
voice,
so
in
terms
of
successes.
H
So
in
terms
of
so
human
trafficking
work
and
we
anticipate
seeing
that
growth
and
we
will
continue
to
serve.
In
fact,
our
human
trafficking
project
is-
has
been
recognized
as
a
state
model
in
other
areas
that
we
have
been
recognized
as
a
state
and
national
model
is
our
prevention
work,
one
of
our
most
well
known
programs
is
our
bar
outreach
project,
which
is
a
project
that
works
with
service
industry,
more
particularly
alcohol
serving
establishments
around
how
they
can
play
a
role
in
the
minimizing
of
drug
facilitated
sexual
assault,
alcohol
being
the
number
one
drug?
H
Our
voice
also
sees
an
opportunity
to
work
with
the
environmental
inspectors
on
training
them
to
what
to
look
out
for
in
terms
of
signs
of
human
trafficking,
whether
it's
sexual
human
trafficking
or
labour
human
trafficking,
and
so
we
can
work
together
to
be
able
to
provide
resources
as
needed.
Another
piece
Diana
mentioned
the
part
about
the
fjc
being
recognized
at
the
state
level
and
national
level
as
well.
Another
piece
that
we
have
that
has
been
recognized
at
the
state
level
is
our
pathways
to
prevention
plan.
The
plan
came
to
light.
H
As
a
result
of
a
coalition
of
service
providers,
program
leaders,
government
representatives,
educators,
youth
leaders
and
survivors,
and
many
more
who
came
together
to
create
a
multi-year
comprehensive
plan
to
help
end
sexual
violence,
domestic
violence
and
child
maltreatment,
and
where
we
see
opportunity-
because
we
are
now
going
into
our
year,
2
of
our
plan
is
an
opportunity
for
the
county
to
be
involved
in
providing
more
resources
to
sustain
the
work.
But,
in
addition,
also
providing
an
opportunity
to
educate
the
community
and
outreach
around
prevention
efforts.
H
One
of
the
things
that
the
pathways
to
prevention
coalition
chest
did
was
create
prevention,
education
guide,
which
any
community
member
who
wants
to
be
involved
or
who
wants
to
have
access
to
prevention.
Education
programming
can
pick
up
this
resource
guide
and
be
able
to
see
which
of
the
programs
are
tailored
to
their
needs,
and
the
great
thing
about
this
guide
is
that
it
isn't
just
to
our
voice
help
made
and
mount
Child
Advocacy
Center.
H
I
J
My
name
is
April
Burgess
Johnson
I
have
the
privilege
of
serving
as
the
executive
director
for
helpmate.
Helpmate
is
the
organization
here
in
Buncombe
County
that
provides
safety,
shelter
and
support
to
survivors
of
domestic
violence
and
I
want
to
thank
this
commission
for
the
the
time
and
the
investment
that
you've
put
into
making
our
community
safer
and
to
stopping
the
tolerance
of
domestic
violence.
J
After
that
that
rash
of
homicides,
community
leaders
came
together
and
began
overhauling
systematically
one
by
one
domestic
violence
response
systems,
sexual
violence,
response
systems
in
our
community
and
part
of
the
outcome
of
that
was
to
build
a
giant
funnel
to
try
to
get
victims
into
appropriate
Victim
Services.
We
did
that
intentionally
because
we
know
that
in
the
year
prior
to
their
death,
according
to
national
research,
only
four
percent
of
domestic
violence-
homicide
victims
had
had
contact
with
a
program
like
helpmate.
J
So
we
know
that
there
is
a
very
strongly
preventative
nature
to
survivors
being
able
to
form
safety
plans
with
programs
like
helpmate,
and
so
what
you
have
in
front
of
you
are
some
numbers
to
illustrate
how
well
that
funnel
has
worked.
If
you'll
look
back
in
fiscal
year,
1213
you'll
see
that
helpmate
served
about
1,800
survivors.
The
blue
line
you
see
on
your
graph
is
the
number
of
people
that
we
served.
The
orange
line
is
the
hotline
calls
we
took
and
the
gray
line
there.
J
Safety
plans
that
we
formed
the
first
arrow
that
you
see
is
when
our
community
began
its
coordinated
community
response
effort
where
we
implemented
the
lethality
assessment
protocol,
where
law
enforcement
are
putting
victims
on
the
hotline
with
a
helpmate
advocate
from
the
crime
scene.
We
also
begin
the
launch
of
the
enough
public
awareness
campaign
and
we
saw
a
pretty
significant
spike
in
the
number
of
people
that
were
reaching
forward
for
help
both
in
person
and
on
our
hotline
and
forming
those
emergency
safety
plans.
J
The
second
arrow
that
you
see
there
is
the
opening
of
the
Buncombe
County
Family,
Justice,
Center
and
you'll,
see
that
we
really
took
a
sharp
incline
and
our
ability
to
do
meaningful,
long,
lasting
and
repeat
safety
plans
with
survivors,
because
as
a
survivor
situation,
changes
so
does
their
safety
needs
and
the
need
to
plan
around
them.
We
wanted
to
be
sure
that
is
we
were
implementing
these
programs
that
we
were
responding
effectively
to
all
survivors,
including
the
smallest
among
us.
J
We
wanted
to
be
sure
that
there
were
effective
programs
in
place
to
attend
to
the
needs
of
children
exposed
to
intimate
partner
violence.
We
were
pleased
to
be
able
to
partner
with
Department
of
Health
and
Human
Services,
to
implement
the
safe
and
together
protocol,
which
seeks
to
support
protective
parents
in
their
protective
capacities,
because
we
know
that
often
it's
not
only
the
adult
but
also
the
child,
that
is
impacted
by
domestic
violence
in
the
home.
J
We
help
survivors
to
navigate
the
sometimes
complex
system
of
working
with
child
protective
services,
and
we
have
designated
space
within
our
emergency
shelter
to
respond
to
the
needs
of
children.
As
we
look
forward,
some
of
the
opportunities
for
growth
and
change
that
we
have
are
twofold.
One
is
that
we
need
to
create
a
seamless
experience
across
all
of
the
systems.
We've
done
a
great
job
of
making
sure
that,
when
a
victim
comes
to
the
Family
Justice
Center,
they
can
connect
with
multiple
agencies.
J
J
We
need
to
make
sure
that,
when
victims
go
across
the
street
to
the
courthouse
to
get
protection
that
they
offer
the
same
seamless
experience,
but
that
process
is
easy
to
navigate,
is
accessible
to
them
and
is
coordinated
well
with
the
services
that
we
have
over
at
the
Family
Justice
Center
for
helpmate.
Specifically,
we
know
that
to
continue
to
reduce
domestic
violence,
homicides
in
Buncombe
County,
we
have
to
double
the
capacity
of
our
shelter
right
now.
J
None
of
these
system
innovations
would
have
been
possible
without
the
continued
support
of
the
Buncombe
County
Commission.
You
all
have
been
there
not
just
word,
but
indeed-
and
we
are
extremely
grateful
for
that-
we
hope
that
you'll
keep
the
foot
on
the
gas
and
continue
to
support
these
important
initiatives
that
serve
survivors
in
our
community.
I.
Think
any
of
us
at
this
point
would
be
happy
to
entertain
any
questions
that
you
have.
Thank
you
thank.
B
You
mentioned
doubling
shelter
capacity
is
one
priority
and
I
think
creating
a
similar
level
of
integration
and
there,
as
folks
move
into
the
court
system
is
another,
is
Memorial
to
be
thinking
about
in
terms
of,
in
addition
to
just
continuing
support
for
fjc.
What
what
else
the
we
can
be
advocating
for
in
our
community
around
these
issues
and
what
next
steps
might
look
like.
J
I
think
that's
a
great
question.
I,
believe
that
talking
to
talking
to
our
colleagues
in
the
court
system
and
encouraging
that
integration
I
believe
you
all
hold
important
and
powerful
positions
and
I.
Think
that
expressing
your
concern
and
commitment
to
this
increased
system,
integration
is
an
important
piece
to
bring
forward.
I.
Think
Diana
might
also
have
some
feedback.
G
I
just
wanted
to
add
so
as
we're
doing
our
strategic
planning
process.
We're
really
going
to
be
trying
to
drill
down
on
our
priorities
and
kind
of
where
we
see
ourselves
in
the
next
three
to
five,
but
something
that's
been
emerging
recently
has
been
creating
a
space
where
older
adults
can
go
to
for
similar
services,
but
that
don't
fall
under
the
category
of
intimate
partner
violence.
So
we're
seeing
an
increase,
as
we
do
an
excellent
job
of
getting
the
word
out
to
the
community
about
our
services.
G
We're
seeing
increased
numbers
of
older
adults
coming
to
seek
services
and
support
the
fall
outside
of
intimate
partner
violence
so
really
looking
at.
Is
there
an
opportunity
there?
What
would
that
look
like
if
there's
not
an
opportunity,
specifically
with
the
Family
Justice
Center?
What
other
opportunities
exist
to
make
sure
that
those
older
adults
aren't
falling
through
the
cracks?
G
K
I've
just
got
a
comment:
I
think
myself
and
brownian
Commissioner
fryer
were
we're
here
when
we
County
took
the
steps
to
you
know
to
make
this
happen
and
not
not
us
make
it
happen,
but
you
know
through
the
the
need
in
the
direction
of
the
community,
but
a
couple
things
that
stuck
in
my
mind
and
I,
don't
want
y'all
to
forget
him.
I
want
you
to
continue
to
tell
us
about
it.
K
You
know
so,
as
y'all
have
an
opportunity
to
come
before
us,
I
know.
I,
don't
want
you
to
forget
that
statistic.
I
want
you
to
continue
to
bring
it
forward
and
and
and
give
us
more
information
about
the
success
stories
and
how
you
know
families
are
I
mean
you
know
by
getting
them
help.
You
know
very
quickly
is:
what's
what
stops
that
escalation,
and-
and
you
know
in
20
years
later,
you
know
them
being
affected.
K
If
you
reduce
that
stress
immediately,
you
know,
then
it
helps
them
for
a
lifetime,
and
so
I
just
want
to
encourage
you
to
continue
to
bring
that
that
forward
and
remind
remind
us
of
that
and
just
keep
telling
us.
You
know
that
these
families
are
getting
better
quicker
and
that
they're
finding
help
under
under
that
one
roof.
Thanks
absolutely.
G
D
You
all
for
the
life-saving
work
that
you
perform
in
our
community
I'm.
As
we
know,
there's
been
several
well
documented,
well
covered
in
the
media
stories
of
loss
of
life
through
domestic
violence
situations
in
our
County,
particularly
in
our
communities
of
color.
As
part
of
your
strategic
planning
process.
Is
there
some
conversations,
some
discussion
about
how
you
start
to
reach
out
to
those
communities
of
color
and
start
to
build
those
trusted
relationships
so
that
they
come
to
you
before
they
experience,
tragedy
and
loss
of
life?
Absolutely.
G
So
to
clarify,
we
have
not
started
our
strategic
planning
process,
but
that
will
be
an
item
that
we
really
try
to
dig
deep
and
and
drill
down
on
I
know
each
individual
on-site
partner
has
done
some
of
their
own
work.
I
know:
helpmate
has
reached
out
to
the
people
of
color
and
tried
to
get
specific
feedback
as
it
relates
to
accessing
services
at
the
Family
Justice
Center.
G
The
question
moving
forward
is:
how
can
we
do
that
again
in
a
coordinated
way,
so
that
we're
all
sharing
the
information
and
and
really
trying
to
move
the
needle
in
that
way?
What
I
will
also
say
is
that
when
we
look
at
our
demographic
data,
our
demographic
data
does
reflect
our
our
fjc
intake.
Data
does
reflect
general
demographics
for
the
county,
so
14
percent
of
individuals
seeking
services
at
the
Family
Justice
Center
identify
as
african-american
black,
which
is
reflective
of
our
community.
G
A
A
L
Good
evening
we
came
before
the
pre
meeting
a
while
ago
regarding
these
two
amendments,
so
I'm
just
gonna
review
them
real
quick
for
you.
If
you
have
any
questions,
let
let
me
know
just
to
remind
you.
It's
two
separate
public
hearings,
one
for
the
traffic
study
amendment
and
then
one
for
the
special
family
revisions.
L
So
we
have
two
two
proposed
subdivision
amendments.
One
one
relates
to
our
traffic
impact
studies.
It's
a
revision
to
when
traffic
impact
studies
are
required
as
part
of
the
subdivision
approval
process
and
the
second
one
is
a
clarification
of
the
requirements
for
a
special
subdivision
and
then
a
revision
to
the
requirements
for
a
family
subdivision.
L
So
for
the
traffic
impact
study
requirements.
Just
to
give
you
a
little
history
in
2017,
we
added
a
requirement
for
those
studies
for
subdivisions
of
300
Lots
or
more
in
2018.
The
zoning
ordinance
was
revised
to
require
traffic
impact
studies
for
plan
unit
developments
with
75,
more
75
or
more
units.
So
the
proposed
amendment
would
align
those
two
ordinances,
the
subdivision
ordinance
and
the
zoning
ordinance,
and
we
we
provided
the
text
amendment
to
the
North
Carolina
Department
of
Transportation
and
the
city
of
Asheville.
L
L
The
proposed
amendment
was
reviewed,
discussed
and
a
public
hearing
was
was
held
by
the
Planning
Board
and
they
recommended
the
proposed
amendment
to
the
board.
So
again
we're
changing
the
threshold.
So
it
aligns
with
the
zoning
ordinance
and
then
we
act.
We
added
a
requirement
that,
if
a
if
a
subdivision
is
going
to
generate
a
decrease
level
of
service
to
D
or
lower,
you
either
have
to
submit
your
driveway
permit
from
NCDOT
or
your
approval
from
a
controlling
municipality.
L
When
you
submit
for
preliminary
approval,
currently
developers
usually
bring
their
preliminary
approval
before
the
Planning
Board
prior
to
getting
that
d-o-t
driveway
permit.
So
what
we're
saying
is,
if
there's
a
decrease
in
level
of
service
to
D,
you
have
to
do
that
beforehand.
So
do
T
and
usually
in
the
city
of
Ashe,
will
have
time
to
review
what
that
development
is
going
to
do
to
the
road
and
just
to
give
you
an
idea
level
of
service
so
for
level
of
service,
a
B
and
C.
It's
pretty
free-flowing.
It's
pretty
stable,
but
you
can
see.
L
D
is
where
the
development
would
start
to
affect
the
traffic
flow
and
effect
capacity
on
the
road.
So
are
there
any
questions
about
the
traffic
study,
amendment
No,
so
the
second
amendment
is
for
special
and
family
subdivisions
special
subdivisions.
It's
a
clarification
of
when
the
three-year
time
limitation
on
on
further
subdivision
is
triggered
and
family
subdivision.
It's
a
revision
to
the
requirements
for
a
family
subdivision.
L
So
for
special
subdivisions.
A
special
subdivision
is
three
Lots
or
less
and
as
part
of
the
requirement,
you
cannot
further
subdivide
those
three
Lots
within
a
three-year
time
period.
Unless
you
meet
the
minor
subdivision
requirements,
so
we
had
some
confusion
in
the
development
community.
So
we're
just
adding
a
clarification
that
if
you
have
a
two
lot
subdivision,
you
can
create
one
more
lot
without
having
to
meet
those
minor
subdivision
requirements.
L
So
for
family
subdivision,
currently
the
regulations
allow
you
to
have
up
to
five
Lots
for
family
members
and
what
developers
were
doing
is
creating
an
additional
three
Lots
as
a
special,
creating
an
eighth
subdivision
that
didn't
go
through
the
review
process
and
they
didn't
submit
plans
for
roads
or
have
to
meet
any
other
road
standards.
So
our
proposed
revision
is
to
hold
it
at
five
Lots
total
and
allow
up
to
three
Lots
for
sale.
L
A
See
any
at
this
point,
so,
let's,
let's
do
two
public
hearings
for
each
of
the
text.
Amendments
first
I'll
open
at
622
the
public
hearing
for
consideration
of
the
text,
amendments
regarding
the
traffic
impact
studies.
Are
there
any
members
of
the
public
who
wish
to
speak
all
right,
I
will
close
the
public
hearing
at
622?
Is
there
a
motion
regarding
the
text
amendment
for
the
traffic
impact
studies?
A
M
M
A
N
The
reason
I
didn't
get
up
a
minute
ago
on
the
other
one
is
because
what
I'm
will
say
on
this?
One
applies
to
the
other.
One
I
was
born
and
raised
on
Jupiter
Road
I
got
the
same
Road
now
that
I
had
when
I
was
six
years
old
and
I
bet,
you
there's
been
over
a
thousand
houses
built
within
a
mile
of
my
house.
N
The
traffic
flow
from
the
housing
is
a
big
part
of
the
problem,
but
the
other
part
of
the
problem
is
we've
not
done
anything
to
air
roads
period.
We
don't
even
know
the
size
of
them.
Now
you
can't
even
see
how
you're
getting
out
but
anytime,
you
do
anything
to
add
time
to
building
a
house.
What
do
you
do
to
the
price
of
housing
in
Buncombe
anytime?
You
increase
the
time.
Do
a
traffic
study
subdivide
do
a
plan
any
time
you
do
that
you're
driving
the
cost
of
housing
up.
N
So
it
sounds
good.
It
reads
good,
it's
just
somebody
something
to
do
and
a
committee
to
serve
on,
but
all
it
does
is
drive
the
cost
of
housing
up
and
guess
what
right
next
to
my
house
is
a
new
lot
and
I
just
found
out
a
while
ago,
there's
seven
the
Lots
for
sixty
thousand
dollars
an
acre.
Then
you
got
to
put
the
will
in
and.
N
Tank,
so
we're
going
to
start
controlling
how
you
divide
it.
If
you
want
to
slow
down
the
growth
in
the
county
and
keep
this
wonderful,
beautiful
countryside
that
everybody
talks
about,
look
at
doing
something
like
letting
a
five
acre
piece
of
property
be
declared
non
developer,
and
if
you
develop
it,
you
have
to
pay
higher
taxes
and
all
the
back
taxes.
When
you
decide
to
develop
it,
you
might
see
some
of
the
families
holding
on
to
their
property
and
not
subdividing
it.
So
that's
just
some
thoughts.
A
J
I
A
P
Q
Good
evening,
commissioners
just
wanted
a
report
on
something
that
we've
had
a
lot
of
interest
in
October
24th
Dave
Owens
from
the
School
of
Government,
is
going
to
be
coming
up
here
to
conduct
a
quasi-judicial
training,
a
legislative
update
and
then
also
to
go
over
a
couple
of
other
items.
We
just
talked
to
David
Owens
yesterday,
I
also
found
out
he's
retiring,
so
this
is
one
of
the
last
opportunities
to
speak
to
him,
but
we've
also
invited
all
six
municipalities
in
the
county
and
we're
happy
to
tell
you
that
we're
nearing
about
a
hundred
people.
Q
This
includes
boards
of
adjustment
planning
boards,
elected
officials
like
yourselves,
and
also
some
historic,
Resources
Commission
members
from
the
various
municipalities
to
give
you
an
update,
an
opportunity
to
meet
folks
and
participate
in
a
training
session.
We've
worked
to
get
some
information
out
to
you.
This
will
be
held
at
the
first
floor.
200
College
Street
one
o'clock
in
the
afternoon
to
4:30.
We
understand
everybody
has
a
busy
schedule
we'll
have
nametags
for
you.
Rest
assured.
Q
If
you
need
to
leave
at
any
time
or
if
you'd
like
to
drop
in
at
any
time,
we'll
have
parking
available
in
the
parking,
deck
and
yeah
that's
pretty
much
it
and
and
we'll
see
you
there
and
let
us
know,
let
me
personally,
no
civil
or
any
of
staff
there's
anything
we
can
do
for
you
or
any
accommodation
or
if
you
have
any
questions,
all
right
thanks
Nate.
Thank
you.
Thanks.
P
A
R
R
So,
just
to
give
a
brief
overview
of
Legionnaires
disease
experts.
Now
it's
a
form
of
lung
infection
of
pneumonia,
that's
caused
by
the
Legionella
bacteria
and
most
healthy
people
when
they're
exposed
to
Legionella
are
not
going
to
become
sick.
But
there
are
higher
risk
groups
such
as
people
who
are
50
and
older
people
who
are
chronic
and
former
smokers.
R
We
think
about
things
like
cooling
towers,
on
buildings
or
hot
tubs
or
decorative
fountains,
and
so
just
to
set
the
stage
for
the
daily
work
that
our
communicable
disease
staff
do
and
our
health
department
in
every
local
health
department.
You
know
every
day
we
get
reports
and
from
local
medical
providers
and
laboratories,
reporting
on
musical
diseases
and
conditions
that
are
mandated
by
law.
They
report,
and
so
in
the
state
of
North
Carolina.
R
There
are
75
different
communicable
diseases
and
conditions
that
these
providers
and
labs
have
to
report
to
us
and
for
those
reports,
our
communities
staff
investigate
each
reports,
so
they
have
to
contact
the
affected
individual
contact.
The
medical
providers
review
medical
records
review
lab
reports.
Ask
many
questions
to
determine.
Does
this
case
of
illness
actually
meet?
R
If
there's
something
is
going
on
in
a
region
or
statewide
and
they
provide
technical
assistance
and
support
when
the
event
expands
behind
beyond
a
single
County
and
they're
always
available
for
consultation
at
any
time,
and
so
the
timeline
of
this
outbreak
again
specific
to
Buncombe
County
on
Friday,
the
20th
of
September,
we
received
a
report
of
a
case
of
Legionnaires
disease
from
a
local
medical
provider
annually.
We
see
anywhere
from
five
to
seven
cases
of
Legionnaires
disease,
and
so
one
case
doesn't
necessarily
tour.
Make
us
think
there
could
be
an
outbreak
going
on.
R
But
then,
a
couple
days
later,
on
the
afternoon
of
Sunday,
the
22nd
three
additional
suspected
cases
of
Legionnaires
disease
were
reported
to
us
by
a
medical
provider,
and
so
our
community's
nurses
began
investigation.
But
due
to
the
severity
of
the
illness,
they
were
unable
to
interview
the
individuals
until
the
following
morning:
Monday
the
23rd,
and
that
morning
we
also
notified
the
Division
of
Public
Health
that
we
had
a
cluster
of
Legionnaires
disease
in
our
community.
R
R
Can
you
ask
those
cases
that
have
been
reported
to
you
if
they
attended
the
fair
and
we
were
able
to
confirm
that
those
cases
reported
to
us
had
attended
the
fair
and
we
shared
that
back
with
the
state
on
Tuesday
the
24th
that
morning
I
sent
an
alert
to
local
medical
providers
and
selling
them
we're
seeing
an
increase
in
Legionnaires
disease.
So
please
be
vigilant,
please.
R
If
you
have
patients
who
have
these
symptoms,
please
make
sure
you're
considering
Legionnaires
disease
and
your
and
your
what
we
call
differential
diagnosis
of
illness
and
then
that
day,
the
Division
of
Public
Health
issued,
what's
called
a
case
definition
for
an
outbreak.
So
a
case
definition
is
how
you
know.
Does
this
person
have
meet
the
qualifications
to
be
counted
as
a
case
of
this
illness
and
so
there's
a
clinical
picture.
So
what
are
the
symptoms
that
they
have
there's
laboratory
evidence
that
shows?
R
They
were
conducting
an
assessment
of
the
site,
environmental
investigation
and
also
an
epidemic
epidemiological
investigation,
so
they
conducted
a
case
control
study
to
determine
what
was
it
about
the
people
who
got
sick
and
attended
the
fair
and
the
people
who
attended
the
fair
and
didn't
get
sick.
What
was
the
difference?
What
were
the,
what
were
the
things
that
that
increased,
the
risk
of
Legionnaires
disease
and
and
so
on,
October
3rd,
is
when
the
state
after
surveying
the
the
population
determined
that
the
individuals
who
got
sick
were
more
likely
to
have
visited.
R
This
this
is
kind
of
hard
to
read,
but
what
it
basically
shows
is
the
the
box
over
to
the
left
shows
that
was
the
time
frame
of
the
Mountain
State
Fair
and
then
the
bars
are
the
number
of
cases
that
had
onset
on
these
particular
dates
following
the
fair,
and
so
this
is
the
type
of
epi
curve
you
would
expect
from
a
single
point
of
exposure.
There
was
something
that
all
these
people
were
exposed
to,
and
then
we
see
this
huge
spike
of
illness
following
it
and
a
decrease
in
the
cases
after
well.
R
The
incubation
period,
which
is
the
time
from
when
you
were
exposed
to
an
organism
until
you
get
sick
and
so
for
Legionnaires
disease,
we're
looking
at
two
weeks,
and
so
you
can
see
when
two
weeks
after
the
fair
ended
there
have
been
no
cases,
no
new
cases
of
Legionnaires
disease
reported,
and
so
this
is
from
the
state's
website.
These
are
the
characteristics
of
all
the
affected
individuals,
and
this
is,
as
of
yesterday,
that's
the
last
time
they
updated
their
website.
So
you
can
see
that
69%
of
the
confirmed
cases
were
admitted
to
the
hospital.
R
As
I
said,
the
generis
disease
can
cause
a
very
severe
pneumonia
and
people
can
end
up
in
the
intensive
care
unit
and
we're
now
up
to
three
deaths.
As
of
today
and
a
majority
of
people
again,
cases
were
Legionnaires
disease,
there's
a
milder
form
of
Legionella
infection
called
Pontiac
fever,
and
we
did
see
some
cases
of
those.
B
R
Mean
there's
guidance
on
the
CDC
website,
so
a
cup
over
the
past
and
on
a
decade
there
has
been
an
increase
in
the
country
of
reported
cases
of
Legionnaires
disease
and
so
that
a
CDC
has
put
out
guidance
about
maintenance
of,
usually,
we
think
about
cooling
towers,
because
that's
where
the
big
events
have
tended
to
happen
in
hotels
or
conventions,
but
they
they
have
issued
some
recommendations
for
people
who
have
equipment
that
could
aerosol
eyes
water.
So
there
is
information
out
there
for
people
yeah
anything
else.
A
S
S
There
are
seven
strategies
within
this
grant
which
are
outlined
on
this
slide.
We
have
four
primary
strategies
as
well
as
three
supporting
strategies.
The
primary
strategies
are
deflection
at
arrests
in
booking
diversion
to
behavioral
health
and
substance,
abuse,
treatment,
enhancing
pretrial
services
and
implementing
efficiencies
in
case
processing,
and
all
of
these
are
undergirded
by
those
supportive
strategies
which
include
data
utilization,
community
engagement
and
addressing
racial
and
ethnic
disparities.
I
highlight
these
so
that
I
can
later
point
out
how
pretrial
services
connects,
but
before
I
do
that
quick
overview
of
what
pretrial
services
is.
S
This
is
a
county
program
that
is
nested
within
the
strategic
partnerships
Department,
which
is
why
I'm
here
representing
this
pretrial
services,
has
two
primary
functions.
They
conduct
risk
assessments
for
people
who
have
been
booked
into
the
detention
facility
and
share
that
information
with
the
judicial
officials
to
help
inform
their
release
decision
so
setting
bonds,
whether
somebody
can
safely
whether
they're
likely
to
be
able
to
safely
await
in
the
community
for
the
disposition
of
their
case
or
need
to
be
detained
within
the
jail.
S
S
Here
we
go,
creates
an
expansion,
a
new
function
for
pretrial,
which
is
to
conduct
those
those
risk
assessments.
I
talked
about
a
minute
ago
at
a
different
phase,
slightly
earlier
phase
of
the
process
so
conducting,
rather
than
after
booking,
when
somebody's
already
in
the
jail
or
Detention
Facility
moving
that
up
and
conducting
it
on
a
24/7
basis
at
the
magistrate
level
prior
but
prior
to
booking
or
pre
booking.
S
The
intended
outcome
of
this
strategy
is
to
reduce
the
number
of
people
who
enter
the
jail
and
stay
for
short
periods
of
time.
In
order
to
provide
that
service
on
a
24/7
basis,
it
will
take
six
positions
for
regular
full-time
positions
and
then
two
part-time
positions
in
order
to
be
able
to
provide
that
continuity
and
have
somebody
there
24
hours
a
day,
seven
days
a
week.
The
request
is
for
these
positions
to
be
classified
as
pretrial
screeners.
S
These
positions
are
fully
funded
by
the
grant,
so
one
hundred
percent
of
the
salary
and
benefits
any
cost
associated
by
the
position
is
covered
by
the
grant,
with
in
accordance
with
the
grant
funded
positions
policy
which
this
board
adopted
in
April,
which
addresses
access.
Essentially,
grant
funded
positions
if
fully
funded
by
a
grant
can
be
benefited,
so
these
positions
would
be
eligible
for
benefits
and
they
would
be
time
limited
for
the
life
of
the
grant
and
abolished
after
the
end
of
the
grant.
K
A
T
A
A
I
S
S
S
The
requirements
within
the
law
state
who
shall
participate
in
the
creation
of
that
agreement,
which
is
including
law
enforcement,
acute
care,
hospitals,
mental
health
providers
etc.
I'm,
here
at
the
at
the
podium
presenting
it
because
behavioral
health
functions
within
Buncombe
County
fall
under
the
strategic
partnerships
department.
But
the
leg
work
here
is
done
by
the
office
of
the
sheriff
and
other
law
enforcement
organizations,
which
is
why
I'll
get
out
of
the
way
in
just
a
second
and
let
chief
Dunn
Everett
Hart
talk
with
us
about
what
Buncombe
agreement
is
going
to
look
like.
S
What
we
want
to
point
out
is
that,
as
our
community
came
together
and
met
convened
through
the
leadership
of
aya,
which
is
the
LME
MCO,
the
local
managed
care
organization
for
mental
health,
substance
abuse
and
developmental
disabilities.
As
we
came
together,
we
identified
that
the
structure
that
we
have
in
place.
Currently,
we
did
not
wish
to
change
so
as
via
produced
an
overall
crisis
plan
which
will
include
the
transportation
plan
once
approved,
which
is
required
to
be
approved
by
the
county
government.
S
F
Good
evening,
Donna
Borak
bunsen,
County,
Sheriff's
Office
and
thanks
for
the
opportunity
to
present
previously
state
statute,
providing
guidance
on
how
local
law
enforcement
would
identify,
taking
the
custody
and
transport
mental
health,
consumers
that
needed
involuntary
commitment,
process
and
medical
treatment.
So
what
we've
done
is
we
basically
adopted
that
exact
same
format?
A
lot
of
it
is
based
on
jurisdictional
boundaries.
So
if
there's
a
consumer
that
lives
in
Black,
Mountain
Black
Mountain
law
enforcement
will
be
responsible
for
the
initial
transport
they
lived
in.
F
The
city
of
Asheville
City
police
would
do
so
and
in
Buncombe
County
the
Sheriff's
Office
will
handle
same
one
of
the
unique
factors
of
this
is
that
buckin
County
Sheriff's
Office
is
also
responsible
for
doing
transports
across
the
state.
So
any
IBC,
regardless
of
what
jurisdiction
takes
it
to
the
initial
evaluation
site
mission,
hospital
or
Biltmore
356.
If
they're
going
out
of
County
Buncombe
County
Sheriff's
Office
would
be
responsible
for
doing
that
transport.
S
I
S
For
next
steps,
I
will
remind
about
a
timeline
thing
that
we
talked
about
before,
which
was
the
original
requirement
of
the
state
when
this
law
would
into
effect
a
year
ago
in
October
2018.
Was
that
communities
prepare
this
transportation
agreement
by
January
that
was
missed
by
nearly
every
I
think,
except
one
County
at
that
time.
S
The
reason
that
it
has
come
up
is
that
this
October
the
deadline
for
completing
the
overall
crisis
agreement
for
the
county
we've
been
in
communication
with
via
health
and
with
the
division
of
mental
health
at
the
state
level,
and
they
know
that
it's
on
the
agenda
this
evening
and
that
is
on
the
agenda
on
board
of
Commissioner
on
board
of
commissioners
dentist
throughout
Western
North
Carolina
during
the
month
of
October.
So
it
is
in
line
with
other
communities
who
are
our
peers?
What
will
happen
next
if
the
board
approves
tonight?
B
A
U
U
The
request
is
for
a
total
of
two
million
four
hundred
and
forty
thousand
dollars
at
the
August
29th
2019
meeting
between
a
B
Tech
and
Buncombe
County's
joint
capital
advisory
committee.
The
committee
approved
the
recommendation
of
three
projects
to
begin
in
fiscal
year,
2020
on
October
7th
2019,
the
a
B
Tech
Board
of
Trustees
approved
the
projects
to
be
brought
forward
to
Buncombe
County
Board
of
Commissioners.
U
In
reference
to
the
budget,
amendment
request
itself
and
we
are
requesting
that
we
budget
expenditure
dollars
for
the
fiscal
year.
2020
joint
committee
recommended
projects
as
outlined.
There
is
sufficient
revenues
budgeted.
What
we
are
requesting
is
that
the
expenditure
budgets
of
debt
service
and
interfund
transfer
budgets
be
reduced.
There
were
dollars,
budgeted
expenditure
dollars
available
from
prior
years
that
are
unspent,
that
we
would
request
a
repurpose
for
the
expenditure
budget
for
these
recommended
projects.
U
T
The
board
got
the
well.
The
committee
in
the
new
committee
got
the
cart
before
the
horse
and
was
going
to
jump
around
the
horse
and
go
straight
to
us,
and
then
it
got
deferred
back
to
the
trustees.
And
since
that
point
we
looked
at
half
million
dollars
for
lighting.
I've
talked
to
Duke
Energy
and
I've
talked
to
Dirk
in
the
process
and
Duke
says
they'll
try
to
do
what
they
can
do
to
furnish
lighting
for
the
school.
T
I
T
Done
all
the
design
work
on
them
plus,
you
know
it's
doing
the
work
on
these
buildings.
They
seem
to
want
to
go
in
a
different
direction
in
this
process.
That's
not
the
direction
that
was
brought
forward.
We
have
a
bill
in
Raleigh,
that's
never
been
passed
that
was
sent
down
there
for
eight
years.
It's
not
it's
not
went
through
in
the
process
yet,
and
so
we
keep
getting.
You
know
if
they
say
well,
the
bill.
T
T
It's
going
to
jump
into
this
as
quick
as
they
did.
There
was
two
votes
against
it
myself
and
gene
Bell
and
because
it
don't
you
know
it's
kind
of
like
it's
in
a
building
that
we
have
that
they
beat.
You
know
it's
a
tinker
campus.
It
is
a
building,
it
was
given
to
us,
but
its
own
land,
that's
brownfield
and
it
can't
be
used.
It
can't
be
sold
so
we're
going
to
put
a
million
seven
hundred
thousand
dollars
roof
on
a
bad
building.
T
So
that's
kind
of
like
putting
lipstick
on
a
pig,
and
you
know
I
talked
to
Dirk
other
day
said
where
we're
spending
twenty
thousand
dollars
a
year.
You
know
patching
the
roof.
What's
an
old
building
and
we're
going
to
spend
down,
you
know:
I'd
rather
spend
twenty
thirty
forty
thousand
a
year
patching
the
roof,
then
spending
a
million
seven
hundred
thousand
on
something.
That's
never
going
to
be
totally
fixable
because
the
the
one
area
and
it
it's
where
one
of
the
machines
was-
and
it's
like
a
three-story
deal
and.
T
It's
easy
to
say:
let's
just
go
ahead
and
take
this
money,
but
I,
don't
know
why
we
went
through
all
the
work
to
try
to
get
it
toward
what
happened
in
in
the
past,
with
the
past
Commissioner
and
passing
on
commissioners,
but
PI
staff.
It's
the
county's
money.
When
the
vote
came
forward,
the
money
belonged
to
the
county
still
does
it's
just
something
that
was
so
supposedly
promised
and
period
I'm
trying
to
keep
up
to
the
promise
but
they're
jumping
in
so
quick
to
try
to
just
spend
it.
T
You
know
we're
spending
twenty
five
million
dollars
to
fix
the
buildings
over
there.
Now
that
are
deteriorated
over
the
years,
twenty
five
million,
and
at
the
end
of
that
deal
we
should
have
nineteen
million
dollars
and
funds
so
that
if
they
would
like
to
have
a
new
building
or
in
the
middle
of
it,
if
they
need
a
new
building,
that
we
could
actually
go
borrow
the
money
at
a
local
bank.
Buncombe
County
can
because
school
can't
borrow
any
money
and
we
can
pay
it
off
fairly,
quick
without
having
a
30-year
loan.
T
T
He
helped,
but
they're
still,
together
with
the
contractors
and
all
to
be
able
to
make
this
College
come
back
to
life
because
he
couldn't
make
the
buildings
come
back
to
five
of
those,
but
he
said
I
think
I
can
get
them
back
to
three
point.
Five
and
that's
you
know
we
have
a
thing
stating
that
right
now
and
Buncombe
Tech
is
not
hateful.
T
That
is
that's
not
good.
I
want
to
see
the
school
come
back
and
thrive.
That's
what
I
want
to
see.
It's,
not
the
money.
It's
I
want
to
see
the
school
come
back
and
thrive
and
I
know
you're
standing
there.
This
is
your
job
and
I
know.
Dirk's
job
and
I
knew
Dennis's
job,
but
the
fact
is:
why
do
we
want
to
do
this
today?
I
don't
know-
and
you
know
five
hundred
thousand
for
lighting.
Well,
that's
just
a
guess.
T
You
know
there's
four
pieces
of
equipment
that
do
fireball
CNC
machines,
a
quarter
million
dollars
worth
is
still
sitting
in
a
basement
over
there,
and
that
was
done
years
ago
when
ever
I
was
I
went
to
Linamar
to
you
know,
try
to
get
some
business
for
the
school,
but
I
appreciate
this
school.
You
know
I'm
glad
to
be
on
the
board
and
it's
like
gene
Bell
Superman.
T
K
I'm
gonna
be
supporting
it
I
think
it's
time
that
Inca
the
Inca
Cabot's
that
people
refer
to
it
as
a
campus.
Maybe
tech
makes
a
commitment
there
and
you
know
that's
my
that's
my
main
objective
for
voting,
for
it
I
think
it's
time
for
the
you
know
those
constituents
that
live
in
alden
inca
to
hear
that
there
there's
a
commitment
made
to
to
that
campus
so
and
so
I'll
be
voting
for
the
motion
tonight.
B
I'll
be
doing
the
same
and
I'm
honored
to
be
serving
along
with
Commissioner
Whitesides
and
members
of
the
a
BTEC
community
and
mr.
Bob
Lane
former
community
on
this
committee.
I
feel
like
the
committee's
work,
has
gotten
off
to
a
fast
start,
which
is
appropriate
to
the
task
before
us
and
I
really
look
forward
to
this
as
one
step
in
the
process
of
rebuilding
that
relationship
between
the
county
and
a
BTEC,
and
just
want
to
add
that
as
a
little
additional
context
around
around
the
reasons.
Why
I'm
excited
to
vote
for
this
this
evening.
D
M
Tell
you
I
miss
Mike
for
our
being
over
there
and
with
his
expertise.
He
has
brought
a
lot
to
us
over
the
years
of
why
they'd
be
taking
not
there
now
inca
campus
is
very
important.
That's
mine
and
Joe's
district
and
we
we
need
it,
but
I
tell
you
I,
think
it's
right
now
the
wrong
time
and
that's
why
I'm
gonna
be
voting
against
it.
O
I'll
be
voting
for
it
because
I
disagree
with
my
friend
name:
I
think
it
is
the
right
time
my
family
is
live,
been
a
neighbor
of
bunkum
Tech
since
1968,
when
it
was
what
10
years
old
and
I've
watched
the
college
over
and
part
of
the
problem.
I
see
that
we
have
is
one.
We
have
not
done
a
good
job
of
preventative
maintenance.
That's
what's
put
us
where
we
are
now
and
I
think
the
work
we're
doing
now
is
we're
starting
that
and
I.
Think
what's
good.
O
If
we
back
up,
we
have
a
MoU,
the
county
between
the
county
and
Buncombe
Tech
and
if
I
remember
right,
we
don't
need
a
state
law
to
do
this,
because,
as
long
as
we
have
the
MOU
between
both
organizations,
we
can
do
it
and
to
the
majority
of
the
trustees
only
to
voted
against
it.
Out
of
what
1617
I
don't
know,
I
mean
you
have
on
the
trustees
14,
you
know
the
majority.
Unfortunately,
majority
rules
I
mean
fortunately
I'm.
Sorry
and
the
other
is
we
set
up
the
committee
and
we
did
now
I
agree.
O
A
All
right
thanks,
everyone
I'll
just
add
that
I'm
excited.
We
have
the
joint
committee
I
think
this.
You
know
this
provides
a
public
forum
to
have
good
communication
between
a
BTech
and
the
county,
and
we've
got
representatives
from
both
bodies
in
the
community
there,
so
we've
had
the
same
model
between
the
county
and
this
the
City
and
County
Schools
for
our
our
k-12
schools
for
several
years
now,
and
it's
been
a
great
model
for
making
decisions
about
how
to
invest
finite
resources
to
take
care
of
our
public,
our
public
buildings.
A
You
know
in
this
case
we're
looking
at
you
know,
fixing
roofs
on
buildings.
It's
probably
one
of
the
things
that
should
always
be
at
the
top
of
the
list.
I
mean
what,
if
you
know
what,
if
we
invested
in
Asheville
High's
droops
sooner
about
how
much
money
saving
that
could
is
saved,
so
you
know
letting
your
roofs
fall
apart
is
about
is
about
the
worst
thing
that
we
can
do
for
our
public
buildings
if
we
want
to
take
care
of
them
long-term.
A
This
is
investments
five
hundred
thousand
dollars
in
energy
efficiency
projects,
but
projects
that
will
pay
themselves
back.
Very
quickly,
so,
every
day
that
we
go
by
not
doing
this
we're
just
wasting
money
that
we
don't
have
to.
You
know
to
keep
the
lights
on.
You
know,
and
this
will
free
up
money
that
can
be
invested
into
the
operations
of
the
college,
for
our
teachers
and
and
I'm
programming,
rather
than
just
literally
paying
way
more
than
we
need
to
to
keep
the
lights
on.
So
these
are
just
a
bunch
of
great
projects
and
I'm
excited
they're.
A
A
A
T
A
U
Buncombe
County,
you
all
have
already
approved
and
budgeted
the
county
matched
portions
were
which
are
additionally
listed
in
the
information
and
the
request
for
board
action.
So
what
we
are
requesting
to
do
is
to
budget
the
expenditures
and
the
revenues
in
this
fund
so
that
we
can
receive
those
dollars
from
the
state
and
pass
them
back
through
to
the
to
the
landowner.
I
A
Opposed
all
right,
thank
you
all
right,
commissioners,
we
did
add
one
additional
item
to
new
business,
which
was
a
presentation
on
proposed
nonprofit
funding
guidelines
and
Rachael.
Nightguard
will
get
us
started
on
this,
and
this
is
going
to
be
an
informational
discussion
only.
We
can
consider
this
at
our
next
meeting.
If
we
want
to
take
action
on
it,
hello.
S
The
first
part
is
to
address
commissioner
request
to
update
the
strategic
partnership
grants
funding
process.
As
you
remember
back
in
the
spring,
as
we
were
moving
through
the
funding
allocation
process
for
FY
2015
I,
believe
we
were
in
a
pre-meeting
setting
downstairs
in
this
building
in
the
ground
floor
conference,
room
saying
what
we
had
come
up
with
for
how
to
move
through
the
FY
24
21.
We
wanted
some
recommendations
for
a
revamped
process,
so
this
is
a
first
look
at
that.
S
The
second
half
of
the
conversation
is
related
to
the
guidelines
for
funding
of
nonprofit
agencies.
This
is
resolution.
That's
in
place
that
addresses
more
broadly
than
just
this
one
grant
program
guidelines
for
funding,
nonprofit
organizations
so
for
the
first
objective,
the
the
grant
process,
which
is
the
strategic
partnership
grant
process.
S
These
grants
are
annual
grants
to
nonprofit
organizations,
organizations
apply
to
Buncombe
County,
we
open
those
applications
in
December
and
they
submit
by
February.
The
funding
is
approved
by
July
1
and
runs
July
through
June
in
alignment
with
our
fiscal
year,
and
we
have
those
grants
associated
with
either
our
strategic
priorities
or
goals
within
the
County's
sustainability
plan.
This
funding,
as
you
know,
is
directly
decided
by
commissioners,
and
once
those
grants
are
made,
we
administer
those
as
performance
contracts,
some
things
that
are
strong
about
the
current
state.
S
S
Have
a
contract
for
including
individual
measures
performance
measures
that
they
can
be
evaluated
on,
that
monitoring
of
performance
includes
not
just
program
but
also
fiscal
performance,
and
that
performance
reporting
is
included
in
an
online
dashboard,
that's
published
to
the
to
the
internet
and
shared
to
the
Board
of
Commissioners
and
connecting
it
within
the
strategic
partnership
department.
Where
some
of
our
counties
other
grant
programs
has
been
working
well,
there
are
some
things
that
are
that
could
be
improved
or
our
challenges
about
the
process.
There
is
fluctuation
from
year
to
year
for
how
commissioners
decide
the
grants.
S
S
We
also
don't
tightly
adhere
to
process,
so
we
have
an
application
deadline,
but
we
accept
late
applications
in
on
an
inconsistent
basis,
so
that
makes
it
tough
for
organizations
to
know
if
they're
able
to
come
in
after
deadline
or
not
not
all
organizations
that
are
funded
through
this
grant
process
are
nonprofit
organization.
So
we're
using
this
as
a
mechanism
to
funnel
funding
to
projects
that
Buncombe
County
wishes
to
provide
grants
to
that
may
be
associated
with
public
organizations
that
that
are
sort
of
mixed
in
with
the
grants
to
nonprofits.
S
And
finally,
the
last
bullet
listed
here
is
something
that
the
board
of
commissioners
has
discussed.
I'm
Commissioner,
Belcher
I've,
been
here
over
the
years
with
you
on
in
that
seat,
and
one
of
the
items
that
has
come
up
is
different.
How
organizations
can
be
overly
dependent
on
County
grants,
and
that
could
be
how
long
a
group
has
been
funded
or
a
project
has
been
funded,
or
it
could
be?
How
much
of
that
groups
funding
comes
from
this
grant
source?
S
A
S
D
Before
we
jump
into
that
what
we
did
before
we
developed
the
recommendations.
Was
we
look
to
the
School
of
Government
for
guidance
and
best
practices
in
terms
of
nonprofit
funding
via
counties?
We
also
dug
really
deep
and
looked
at
what
other
counties
across
North
Carolina
we're
doing.
That
seemed
to
be
working
and
follow
the
best
practices
there.
So
we
brainstorm
the
recommendations
based
on
all
of
the
research
that
we
did
to
bring
forward
to
you
all
in
the
pros
and
cons
of
what
those
recommendations
look
like.
D
As
commissioners,
we
will
limit
funding
to
nonprofit
organizations
that
have
been
in
existence
for
a
minimum
of
two
years.
So
no
brand-new
organizations
will
receive
funding
gives
us
a
little
bit
of
time
to
ensure
that
they
have
the
capacity
to
do
the
work
that
they
say
that
they're
going
do
for
us.
We
will
limit
grant
funding
to
three
years
for
a
single
project
that
will
start
with
the
FY
21
funding.
So
we'll
have
a
new
slate.
D
Everything
will
be
wiped
clean
for
the
organizations
who
have
been
receiving
funding
funding
will
be
limited
to
less
than
30%
of
the
overall
organization's
budget.
Part
of
the
reason
for
that
is
to
look
at
the
diversification
of
funding
streams
for
the
nonprofit
organizations
that
if
they
have
that
diversity,
then
it
shows
us
that
there's
a
lot
of
community
support
other
organizations
granting
support
that
shows
that
they're
meeting
their
goals
and
moving
forward.
D
So
we
did
consider
several
options,
and
here
they
are,
we
could
maintain
the
current
process
where
the
seven
of
us
decide
directly.
We
could
have
a
subcommittee
of
commissioners
making
the
decisions.
We
could
also
have
a
committee
that
includes
county
staff
and
the
fourth
option
is
a
committee
of
community
volunteers
and
looking
at
some
dissipate,
ory
budgeting
decision-making
through
that
process.
D
So
what
we
would
like
to
bring
forward
to
you
all
this
evening
is
the
fourth
recommendation
to
consider.
We
would
establish
a
nine
member
committee
of
community
volunteers
who
will
review
the
applications
and
recommend
grant
funding.
Members
will
apply
to
and
will
be
appointed
by
each
of
us
for
those
terms
and
will
have
three
years
staggered
terms.
D
There
will
be
very
clear
conflict
of
interest
policies
that
members
adhere
to
so,
for
example,
no
current
or
recent
board
off,
sir,
so
a
chairperson
vice
chair.
Anyone
who
has
served
on
the
executive
committee
of
that
organization
or
a
nonprofit
organization
will
not
be
eligible
to
be
appointed
by
us
for
this
committee.
They
can
be
a
member
of
a
board,
but
just
not
serving
in
a
leadership
capacity.
K
B
C
S
You
all
of
this
is
up
for
discussion,
but
that's
that's
the
way.
It's
currently
written
something's,
sorry
about
what
I
did
to
the
slides,
but
you
were
headed
toward
this
one
back
to
me
back
to
you,
okay,
so
the
committee
would
be
responsible
for
creating
a
grant
funding
recommendation
to
this
body
to
the
Board
of
Commissioners
for
consideration,
as
as
part
of
the
annual
budgeting
process,
that's
consistent
with
how
it
works
for
other
grant
funds
such
as
the
early
childhood
fund
or
the
aging
funds.
S
S
We
reviewed
pros
and
cons
of
the
in-person
presentation
or
interview
for
finalists
and
think
that
it
does
bring
some
value
and
would
continue
to
have
that
as
part
of
the
process
committee
reviewers,
which
would
use
a
scoring
process
and
score
independently
using
an
online
grant
software
and
a
points-based
scoring
system,
which
is
typical
for
some
of
those
other
grant
processes
that
I
mentioned
ago.
The
types
of
criteria
is
difficult
to
use.
Here
we
go
the
types
of
criteria
that
would
be
included
in
that
scoring
tool
would
include,
for
example,
alignment
to
the
Commissioner
goals.
S
S
The
community
partnerships
and
community
collaboration
would
be
constant
in
to
consideration,
as
well
as
the
ability
to
leverage
other
funding
and
a
review
of
the
overall
financial,
health
and
sustainability
of
that
organ
of
the
grantee
organization,
as
well
as
connection
to
any
other
potential.
County
funding
or
contractual
relationship
would
be
something
we
evaluate.
S
So
before
we
have
discussion
about
this
half
of
the
presentation,
quick
review
of
the
timeline
we
are
on
the
far
left
at
the
we're,
not
in
the
pre
meeting,
we're
in
the
regular
meeting.
But
this
is
an
informational
presentation,
provided
that
we
leave
here
with
some
consensus
about
what
could
be
brought
back
for
a
vote
in
a
couple
in
three
weeks
at
your
next
meeting.
That
would
occur
on
November
5th.
We
would
open
prepare
the
application
and
open
it
up
for
organizations
by
December.
A
K
K
K
Okay,
because
the
need
is
great
and
the
need
is
throughout
throughout
Buncombe
County.
That's
been
kind
of,
that's
been
tough,
you
know
and
I,
don't
know
that
you
could
ever
have
you
know
right.
You
know
we
have
three
districts
I,
don't
know
that
you
could
ever
have
a
third,
a
third,
a
third
you
know,
but
but
just
an
equity
in
in
that
funding.
You
know
a
lot.
Some
people
apply
some
people,
don't
some
people,
you
know
I,
don't.
T
P
K
It's
a
it's
I
think
the
lab
the
ladder.
If
we're
going
to
spend
three
million
dollars,
I'm,
just
a
million
dollars
in
each
district,
now
I
know
I'm
being
silly
and
that's
not
going
to
happen.
You
know
exactly
that
way,
but
it
shouldn't
be.
You
know
two
and
a
half
in
one
area,
and
you
know
and
250
here
and
250
I
mean
we
just
need
to
be.
We
need
to
be
really
careful
and
and
I
think
we
probably
should
look
at
very
carefully
some
of
the
ones
I.
K
K
Because
some
of
us
would
be
familiar
with
some
of
them
and
some
of
us,
you
know,
wouldn't
be
familiar
now
when
I,
when
I,
when
I
say
that
you
know
we
still
have
to
support
it,
we
staff
to
vote
on
it.
You
know
it
doesn't
need
to
disappear
somewhere.
Where
we
can't
see
it
I
mean
we
still
need
to
be
part
of
the
decision,
but
I
don't
know
I
mean
some
of
it.
I
like
some
of
its,
but
you
know
I'm
plugged
you
for
taking
a
shot
at.
D
For
me,
a
huge
piece
of
moving
forward
on
this
was
after
we
had.
Several
applicants
speak
to
us
about
them,
not
understanding
or
the
process
for
application
and
feeling
like
they
had
to
come,
speak
to
us
to
really
advocate
for
funding
for
themselves.
It
didn't
feel
that
it
was
very
equitable
in
terms
of
those
organizations,
so
I
wanted
to
work
with
Rachel
and
the
staff
to
really
create
a
very
transparent,
open,
equitable
for
every
organization
in
Buncombe
County
to
have
the
opportunity
to
apply
for
funds.
I
do
agree.
D
Commissioner,
Belcher
I
think
we
have
an
opportunity
to
reach
other
organizations
that
may
not
typically
apply
for
County
grant
funding,
so
maybe
a
little
bit
of
opportunity
to
advertise
and
do
a
little
more
relationship
building
with
those
organizations
to
encourage
them
to
apply
for
funding
versus
just
the
the
largest
nonprofits
in
our
community.
So
I
think
we
have
some
opportunity
yeah.
K
And
you
know
we
we've
been
funding
some
community
centers.
This
also
I
mean
I,
don't
want
I,
don't
want
the
community
centers
to
feel
like
that
they're
they're
being
left
out
of
this
process,
and
so
I
mean
we'll
have
to
see
we
have
to
we'll
have
to
see
I
mean
they
have
to
have
an
opportunity
to
be
able
to
request
funding.
You
know
just
as
an
example
and
do
they
fit
do
they
have
to
come
up
with
a
new
project
every
year
to
be
able
to
ask
for
money.
We
don't
want
them
doing
that.
K
O
Want
to
thank
you
because
I'm
not
like
this
process,
it
was
not
since
I've
been
on
the
board
and
I
had
to
jump
through
hoops
before
coming
on
the
board.
With
this
process
and
I
always
felt
that
it
was
just
too
darn
political
and
whoever
would
holler
the
loudest
ooh,
whatever
would
get
it
and
was
not
necessarily
a
lot
of
organizations
were
lost
in
the
shuffle
I
felt
and
even
after
being
on
here,
not
liked
it.
The
other
thing
I
feel
if
we
follow
our
strategic
priorities.
O
Hopefully
that
will
do
some
of
your
concerns
Gil,
because
we
should
be
giving
their
organizations
who
are
making
a
difference
not
on
you
know
in
the
whole
county,
just
not
in
one
area,
whatever
I
think
that's
going
to
be
critical
to
and
that
we
tied
in
with
our
priorities.
That's
for
the
whole
county,
not
just
for
one
district.
You
know
we
can
hopefully
get
the
biggest
bang
for
our
buck
doing
it
that
way,
but
we
need
to
discuss
that
I
agree,
but
we're
all
I
could
vote
on
tonight.
O
O
We
started
that
committee
and,
if
that's
any
indication
of
what
we'll
have
it's
going
to
work,
fine,
because
we
have
people
around
the
table
where
all
of
them
are
in
the
childcare
business,
but
I've
know
I've
been
pleasantly
surprised
that
everybody
is
open
and
you
know,
handle
all
of
our
the
requests
we've
had
in
a
professional
way
and
in
a
fair
way,
but
I
like
what
I
see.
Thank
you
both
for
a
job.
Well
done.
That's
almost.
K
Say
one
other
thing
that
I'm
gonna
hash
and
my
other
commissioners
talk.
I
do
have
a
concern
about
the
the
committee
you
know.
I
was
voted
to
represent
the
entire
county
as
well
as
my
district
and
bring
information
to
the
Commission
that
you
may
not
have
that
I'm
familiar
with,
because
my
constituents
talked
to
me.
My
constituents
come
and
see
me
and
I
wanna.
I
do
know.
K
K
S
Bunch
of
times
all
right,
so
we
have
a
resolution
on
the
books,
its
numbers
up
on
the
top
of
the
screen.
This
would
be
in
your
packet
for
the
next
meeting.
The
resolution
was
originally
established
in
2008.
It
was
amended
in
2013.
It
establishes
guidelines
for
the
funding
of
nonprofit
organizations
and
Institute's
some
structure
for
how
that
works
similar
to
the
grant
funding
process.
There
are
some
things
about
this
resolution
that
work
well,
that
are
strengths
that
we
would
want
to
keep
and
build
on
particularly
the
emphasis
on
accountability.
S
S
For
example,
it
is
unclear
which
of
the
counties,
multiple
grant
programs,
this
provides
guidance
on
so
we
have,
for
example,
strategic
partnership
grants,
that's
the
grant
process.
We
just
talked
about,
there's
also
affordable
housing
grants
which
are
administered
through
our
planning
department.
We
have
community
recreation
grants
through
the
Recreation
Department
Isaac
Coleman
and
tipping-point
grants
early
childhood
funding.
Buncombe
County
has
a
portfolio
of
grants,
and
the
resolution
isn't
clear
as
currently
written
as
such
the
funding
eligibility
criteria
is
tip
is
difficult
to
apply.
S
And
we
would
bring
in
consistent
practice
across
the
organization
that
mechanism
of
the
performance
contract
following
a
grant
award,
because
that
has
been
successful
for
us
where
we've
used
it
so
far.
The
main
change
related
to
financials.
Our
current
guidance
is
difficult
to
apply
as
as
written,
because
it
says
every
nonprofit
should
have
an
audit.
Full
audits
are
prohibitive
for
some
organizations
because
of
the
cost
and
the
time
the
resource
is
needed.
S
It
is
common
across
across
grant
making
to
have
a
tiered
structure,
so
we
would
still
collect
IRS
tax
filings
over
the
form
990
s
from
these
nonprofits.
But
then,
according
to
the
size
of
their
organization,
we
could
collect
an
audit,
a
review
or
a
compilation
with
a
process
for
them
to
request
a
waiver
to
use
another
third
party
provided
document
if
those
are
not
available.
A
Just
so
just
a
question
so,
but
the
recommendation
here
is
that
this
would
apply
to
well
you're
talking
about
some
guidelines
that
would
be
applied
sort
of
across
all
grant
making
you
know
platforms,
but
in
terms
of
this
committee
of
nine
people
they
would
be
only
advising
on
what
we
currently
call
our
strategic
grants.
Not
these
other
sources
of
community
funding
that
we.
S
B
Just
going
back
for
a
sec
as
you
all
kind
of
do
another
pass,
maybe
it
could
I
would
be
interested
in
thoughts.
Maybe
two
categories
of
applicants:
one
are
applicants
to
apply
for
both
strategic
partnership
grants
and
receive
HHS
grants
from
the
county
and
I
feel,
like
those
have
in
years
past
been
handled
in
different
ways.
So
thinking
about
that
and
then
the
other
would
be
I,
think
Commissioner
Belcher,
I
I
also
thought
right
away
about
community
centers
and.
B
Maybe
thinking
about
are
there
other
funds
are
there
other
grantees
that
it
would
be
very
typical
to
think
of
a
kind
of
consistent
line
of
public
funding
as
a
central
source
of
support
for
their
work?
If
that
makes
sense
like
in
other
communities,
museums,
for
instance,
receive
kind
of
annualized
funding
publicly,
so
just
thinking
about
are
there
is
there
sort
of
a
subcategory
of
entities
like
that
for
whom
the
project
guidelines
may
or
may
not
be
quite
as
aligned?
And
the
answer
might
be?
S
B
S
A
But
I
mean
you
can
I
mean
those
are
different
words
right,
but
those
are
grants
right,
I
mean
it's
for
funds
to
nonprofit
organizations
and
they
and
they
do
things.
You
know
before
I
mean
so
I
know.
You're
I
get
the
distinction,
but
they're
grants
right
and
there's
a
contract
that
goes
with
them.
So.
S
It's
a
conversation
that
we've
had
a
lot
over
the
years
because
they
are
so
related.
We
see
them
as
different
where
a
contract
is
initiated
by
the
county,
wanting
a
service
and
procuring
that
service
versus
a
grant
which
is
sort
of
developed
at
the
community
level
and
looking
for
funding
from
the
county,
but
they've
become
nuances.
A
Future,
but
the
reality
is
a
lot
of
things
have
been
funded,
almost
all
good
right
through
HHS
for
community
projects
that
are
not
we're
not
legally
required
to
do.
They
were
seen
as
good
ideas
that,
like
it'd,
be
great
to
see
them
happen,
so
I
mean
I.
Just
I
have
always
felt
like
like
what
gets
funded
under
strategic
priorities
and
what
gets
funded
in
some
cases
through
HHS
they
could.
The
distinctions
are,
don't
seem
so
obvious,
all
the
time
so
I
just
I,
think
that
is
part
of
the
conversation
of
just
kind
of.
K
The
other
thing
too,
and
in
business
definition
of
it
there's
a
definition
of
employee
in
a
kind
of
con
contractor
right
and
if,
if
the
county
is
your
only
source
of
money,
you're
an
employee
of
the
county,
it's
not
a
you're,
not
a
contractor
right,
yeah,
yeah,
there's
some
other
terms,
but
it's
anyhow
we're
having
that
conversation.
So
it's
kind
of
cool
so.
S
A
Know
just
one
last
observation
here:
I
do
think
that
I
mean
I'm
open
to
this
I.
Think,
there's
just
pros
and
cons
to
all
these
different
ways
of
doing
it.
You
know
the
this
is
very
time-consuming
on
us
for
what
is,
at
the
end
of
the
day,
a
fairly
modest
percentage
of
the
budget,
but
I.
Don't
think
this
all
downside
for
having
it
these
some
of
these
decisions
made
from
a
from
an
elected
body-
and
you
say
it's
a
political
body.
It
also
means
it's.
It's
a
no.
A
It's
an
elected
by
the
people,
body
of
the
community
and
and
it's
joe
said,
a
lot
of
people.
I
mean,
I
think
we
hear
a
lot
of
stuff
that
just
when
you're
in
this
job,
you
hear
stuff
that
just
you
know
not
everyone
else
walking
around
town
is
is,
you
know,
gets
the
benefit
of
so
I,
see
I,
see
trade-offs,
but
I
think
there
has
been
I
think
these
we've
always
been
dissatisfied
with
the
way
we
do
it,
whether
we
might
be
equally
unsatisfied
with
a
different
way.
A
I
guess
we'll
see,
as
we
kind
of
look
at
look
at
doing
it
differently,
but
I
think
it's
a
good
discussion,
so
thanks
to
appreciate
everyone's
work
on
kind
of
bringing
some
ideas
forward
ahead
of
the
budget
cycle
to
kind
of
think
through
how
we
want
to
try
next
time.
Okay,
all
right!
That
concludes
all
of
our
regular
business
items.
We
don't
have
any
board
appointments
this
meeting,
so
we
move
to
public
comment.
Are
there
any
members
of
the
public
who
wish
to
talk
to
the
board?
Mr.
Elton.
N
I've
heard
transparency
till
I'm
about
ready
to
puke,
because
I
don't
see
transparency.
Folks,
I
see
a
presentation
just
made
that
you
say
you
already
have
in
your
package
that
wasn't
put
on
the
internet.
That's
the
second
time.
We've
had
that
crap
happen,
the
second
time
from
the
public.
Ok,
so
I
think
something
is
bad
wrong
here
in
your
little
details,
you
don't
want
to
hear
what
I
got
to
say:
brownie
I
know
it
and
I
don't
really
care.
Cuz,
I'm
gonna
say
it.
N
N
N
Now
your
county
manager
made
a
great
comment
tonight
on
this
deal
about
evaluating
nonprofits,
one
of
the
best
things
I
heard
her
say
it's
the
service
that
gets
distributed
to
equal
areas
of
the
county,
that
you're
after
Joe
it's
the
service,
and
if
your
nonprofit
can't
tell
you
where
they're
going
to
provide
their
service,
you
don't
need
to
be
a
fund
in
them.
And
you
know,
common
sense
is
just
don't
I,
don't
hear
it.
N
90%
of
the
time
here,
I
mean
y'all
could
stretch
out
something
you
know
how
to
pull
a
rubber
band
and
probably
talk
about
it
for
five
hours
and
then
tell
why
you're
going
to
vote
the
way.
You're
gonna
vote.
But
you
know
it's
so
simple
own
nonprofits
and
I
did
this
years
ago
and
when
I
say
it,
you
sure
that
ain't
gonna
do
it.
Anybody
that
wants
my
money
and
the
taxpayers.
N
Money
should
have
to
open
their
books
period,
not
just
what
little
thing
they're
funding,
because
they
can
hide
something
over
here
and
hide
something
over
here
and
give
that
to
somebody
else,
and
it
can
go
over
here
on
this
line
and
guess
what
that's?
What
the
counting
is
hiding
the
money
and
all
it
doesn't,
prove
anything.
Look
how
long
the
and
what
did
we
find
out?
None
of
your
outage
is
worth
of
crap.
N
V
Thank
you
for
this
opportunity
sees
that
Grindstaff
on
behalf
of
Asheville
right
for
kids
in
the
pediatric
brain
tumor
foundation,
thirteen
children
each
day
are
diagnosed
with
a
brain.
Tumor.
Thirteen
lives
will
be
changed
forever.
Brain
tumors
are
the
deadliest
childhood
cancer
and
the
deadliest
disease
facing
our
children
in
the
United
States.
You
can
make
a
difference
in
these
children's
lives.
You
can
change
these
statistics
I'm
here
to
talk
about
the
Asheville
ride
for
kids,
benefiting
the
pediatric
brain
tumor
foundation.
V
Asheville
ride
for
kids
is
an
event
that
does
two
things.
It
raises
funds
for
the
pediatric
brain
tumor
foundation
and
it's
a
program
that
helps
families
that
have
kids
with
brain
tumors.
Let
me
explain
both
the
pediatric
brain
tumor
foundation,
funds
through
fundraising,
life-saving
research,
fueling
ways
to
find
better
treatments
and,
ultimately,
a
cure.
The
pediatric
brain
tumor
foundation
has
through
fundraising,
supplied
family
support
programs
like
emergency
financial
aid,
family
camps,
peer-to-peer
counseling
and
event.
V
Programs
like
the
Asheville
right
for
kids
I've,
seen
how
therapeutic
it
can
be
for
kid
and
their
family
to
attend
one
of
these
events,
which
brings
me
to
the
Asheville
ride
for
kids.
We
need
know
the
kids
need
help
changing
those
statistics
I
said
earlier,
and
the
way
we
can
do
that
besides,
donating
and
fundraising
is
to
volunteer
in
planning
these
events.
A
I
Thank
You
mr.
chairman
and
members
board,
have
you
ever
seen
heard
or
felt
in
your
family
when
a
child
was
taken
from
your
family
or
your
loved
one
to
DSS
custody
or
some
means
of
government
intervening?
You
ever
had
that
feeling
that
gut-wrenching
feeling
that
just
kind
of
tore
you
apart,
you
need
to
think
about
it.
I
Those
are
not
my
statistics,
those
are
real,
those
are
for
parenting
rights
a.org.
These
is
real.
You
saw
how
the
Democrat
Party
smeared
mr.
Trump
President
Trump,
how
they
smeared
him
for
doing
the
2,000
kids
of
the
immigrants
and
they
plastered.
He
made
him.
Look
like
he'd
done.
The
unpardonable
sin
now.
I
want
you,
commissioners
to
think
about
it.
I
It
was
a
political
move.
Just
like
we've
seen
tonight.
There's
political
moves
going
on:
that's
not
good.
We
need
to
be
facing
them
the
truth
and
what
we
can
do
to
change
to
help
people
who
profits
from
taking
of
these
children,
hospitals,
doctors,
counselors
courts,
lawyers,
judges
and
politicians.
I
What
does
that
say
to
you
about
your
job
as
a
commissioner
and
your
responsibility
to
make
sure
human
trafficking
is
stopped?
We're
talking
about
some
sobering
things
here.
What
you
heard
tonight
on
the
Justice,
Center
I
told
you
that
was
going
to
happen
just
like
we
just
they
told
you
how
the
numbers
was
going
to
go
up
considerably.
Now,
look
at
the
numbers
of
DSS
compared
to
the
numbers
that
you
heard
from
them:
they're
not
telling
all
the
numbers
they're
telling
you
what
they're
taking
in
there's.
I
A
Thank
you.
I
have
a
couple
of
quick
announcements
on
October
24th
at
1:00
p.m.
the
UNC
School
of
Government.
Quasi-Judicial

the
commissioners
will
hold
their
pre
meeting
at
200,
College
Street
room
three
to
six
in
downtown
Asheville
and
on
November
5th
at
five
pm.
The
commissioners
will
hold
their
regularly
scheduled
meeting
at
200
College
Street
room
at
three
to
six
downtown
Asheville
and
I.
T
Have
something
to
say:
go
ahead,
I
just
got
condemned
a
minute
ago
for
having
something
in
the
back
room
that
was
supposedly
illegal.
I
got
a
whole
folder
full
of
stuff
with
you
and
Jeremiah,
which
you're
not
supposed
to
be
telling
staff
what
to
do
and
that's
illegal,
so
I
guess
we're
playing
the
same
game
but
you
you
know
he
didn't
know
anything
about
solar
panels
now
he
does
because
of
you,
that's
what
you
do
for
a
living.
You
know
I
talked
to
Wells
and
them
that's
what
you
do
for
a
living.
T
He
worked
in
a
in
one
of
the
departments.
On
the
fourth
floor.
He
didn't
have
a
clue,
but
here
I've
got
all
this
information
and
I
do
mark
out
stuff
pretty
good,
and
this
is
you
I
want
to
meet
you.
You
know
you
know
I
need
to
meet
with
you
I'm
on
vacation,
but
it's
going
to
happen
when
I
get
back,
you
need
to
talk
to
Julie
Mayfield.
She
can
tell
you
how
to
get
grants.
It's
all
here,
so
we're
not
supposed
to
instruct
staff
on
what
today
I
don't,
but
you
sure
David
yeah,
all.
A
Right,
Thank
You,
commissioner,
you
know
I
do
absolutely
stand
by
what
I
said
earlier
forming.
If
you,
if
we
form
a
committee
of
this
commission,
a
couple
of
things
need
to
happen.
First,
it
needs
to
be
voted
on
by
this
commission
that
never
happened,
and
then
it
must
be
held
in
public
and
it
is
a
violation
of
the
state's
public
meeting
laws
to
not
do
that.
So
I
absolutely
stand
by
that,
and
and
I've
made
it
no
secret
that
I'm
an
advocate
for
clean,
renewable
energy
and
and
and
that's.
A
P
Tonight,
at
the
Board
of
Elections
I'm
Trina
by
relations
director
tendered
her
resignation
or
retirement
she's,
actually
got
stolen
by
the
state.
So
she's
going
to
go
to
the
state
of
Elections.
You
know
they
were
going
through
a
change
so
if
she
was
stolen
but
from
us
to
go
work
for
the
state
office,
so
she'll
be
here
through
to
November
elections,
but
shortly
after
that,
she'll
be
moving
on
to
the
state.
Thank.
A
You
for
letting
us
know
one
last
announcement
before
we
go.
I
would
like
to
say
how
surprised
and
disappointed
I
was
to
hear
yesterday
that
Jennifer
Bowman
with
the
Asheville
Citizen
Times,
is
going
to
be
leaving
Western
North
Carolina
in
a
couple
of
weeks,
and
so
I
just
wanted
to
acknowledge
the
work
that
jennifer
has
done
over
the
last
couple
of
years
faithfully
covering
the
issues
of
Buncombe
County.
A
You
know
in
this
role
there
might
have
been
a
couple
of
occasions
when
I
didn't
agree,
with
every
way
that
a
particular
article
might
get
framed,
but
Jennifer
you've
done
job
covering
the
county
during
a
really
important
time,
and
so
I
just
wanted
to
say
thank
you
for
what
you've
done
and
best
wishes.
I
know
you
used
to
live
in
San
Diego
and
are
going
back
there.
So
I'm
best
wishes
and
everything
going
forward
for
you
and
your
your
family
all
right
all
right,
but
that
we
are
adjourned.
