Commissioners' Briefing for Oct. 6, 2020
A
B
C
Else
I
want
to
move
up
the
the
inca
barn.
That's
in
new.
I
think
it's
in
new
business,
I'm
going
to
move
it
up
to
the
first,
because
I'm
not
going
to
be
doing
the
presentation.
It'll
be
a
couple
people
from
from
the
school
that'll
do
it.
So
I
think
it's
one
new
business,
but
it's
the
last
one.
So
I'd
like
to
move
it
up
to
the
first,
so
they
can.
D
D
E
D
D
D
That
doesn't,
however,
account
for
our
most
recent
cases
per
day
and
that
you
can
see
they
are
outside
of
that
window,
but
are
falling
within
that
window.
Following
the
phase
2.5
implementation
and
we
just
went
into
phase
3.0
so
just
like
major
holidays,
it's
historically
we've
also
seen
an
increase
in
cases
shortly
after
some
of
the
lifting
of
restrictions.
D
So
you
can
see
that
we're
just
under
30
new
cases
per
day
and
we'll
be
monitoring
this.
The
last
couple
of
days.
You
can
see
that
it's
starting
to
show
a
little
bit
of
leveling,
but
it's
a
little
too
soon
to
say
that
that
is
a
level
trend
or
that
that's
decreasing
trend.
So
we're
going
to
be
watching
that
for
the
next
several
days
to
see
where
that's
headed,
this
is
a
great.
Usually.
D
I
wait
till
the
end
to
say
that
the
three
w's
are
really
important,
but
I
think
it's
really
important
here
to
say
it
that
as
restrictions
do
get
lifted,
it
is
very
important
that
folks
remember
the
three
w's
of
wear
weight
and
wash
that
it
is.
It
has
been
important.
It
is
increasingly
important
as
restrictions
get
lifted
and
we
begin
to
interact
and
have
more
interactions
within
different
venues.
D
D
We've
also
seen
at
the
state
level
that
percent
positivity
that
had
gotten
as
low
as
5
has
also
increased,
and
it's
at
6.4
percent.
As
of
today.
Just
of
note
that
the
state
and
the
nation
are
seeing
similar
trends
as
that
we're
seeing
we're
seeing
right
now,
which
is
over
the
last
week
or
so
increasing
cases
per.
D
D
Usually,
you
see
this
as
just
a
dark
blue
bar
graph,
indicating
our
specific
region-
and
here
you
see
our
region
compared
to
these-
the
six
other
regions
in
the
state.
But
it's
the
same
information
about
the
hospitalization.
We
actually
are
that
orange
line,
that's
toward
the
bottom.
There
that's
our
region
and
again
you
can
see
that
overall
compared
to
other
regions
in
the
state,
the
burden
for
our
hospitalization
has
been
lower.
But
we
are
seeing
in
that
last
data
point
of
october,
dated
october,
2nd
just
the
slightest
bit
of
increase
there.
D
D
F
There's
lots
of
folks
that
are
paid
very
well
in
this
world
to
do
things
like
that,
and
I'm
not
one
of
them.
So
everything
I
give
to
you
is
going
to
be
public
data.
You
know
these
are
data
sources
that
we
trust
that
anyone
could
access
and
to
give
you
an
idea
of
where
we
are
today
not
not
intended
to
give
you
a
forecast
but
you'll
be
able
to
draw
some
conclusions
as
we
look
at
some
of
the
trends.
F
F
So
one
of
the
first
places
we
want
to
start
is
the
unemployment
rate.
We've
heard
so
much
about
this
throughout
the
pandemic,
and
you
know
what
I
want
to
say
is,
as
we
start
this
conversation
context
really
matters.
So
a
lot
of
the
data
you're
going
to
see
from
me
today
is
going
to
be
referring
to
that
asheville
msa
into
the
msa
is
your
metropolitan
statistical
area
that
is,
for
those
listening
at
home
or
in
the
audience.
That's
not
limited
to
asheville
city
limits
by
any
means.
F
Our
asheville
msa
actually
represents
something
broader
which
includes
buncombe
county,
as
well
as
some
surrounding
counties,
including
hendersonville
henderson
county.
The
reason
that's
important
is
from
an
economic
standpoint.
You
know,
regions
matter,
you
know
the
economy
isn't
restricted
to
county
borders,
and
so
we
want
to
talk
about
it
in
a
more
broad
perspective.
F
F
So
you
know
we
jump
from
about
three
percent
up
to
16
percent
tremendous
impact
in
the
april
may
time
frame,
but
you
can
see
that
unemployment
rate
starts
to
drop
down
in
june,
so
we're
you
know
closer
to
eight
percent,
a
slight
spike
in
july
and
then
continuing
down
into
august,
where
we
currently
are,
and
so
we're
currently
at
about
a
seven
percent
unemployment
rate.
This
is
still
not
good
for
where
we've
been.
You
know.
F
If
we
look
at
just
this
time
last
year,
we're
closer
to
three
percent,
so
clearly,
unemployment
has
had
a
big
impact
in
our
area,
but
that
said,
we
have
seen
a
lot
of
folks
be
able
to
get
back
to
work
and
so
that
that's
a
positive
as
well
as
we
begin
to
think
about
unemployment.
The
next
question
is,
you
know:
what's
the
status
of
jobs
in
our
community
and
you
know
I'll
confess
to
you,
we
don't
have
a
great
source
to
say
hey.
This
is
how
many
businesses
closed
that
type
of
information.
F
You
know,
there's
not,
there's
not
a
really
good
way
to
do
it
timely,
but
what
we
can
say
is
how
many
jobs
are
in
our
community
so
again
we're
looking
at
the
asheville
msa,
which
again
is
a
regional
measure
looking
at
buncombe,
henderson
and
others,
and
so
we're
looking
at
total
unemployment
from
this
perspective
and
what
we
wanted
to
show.
You
is
kind
of
that
trajectories,
so
you
can
see
in
april
again
we
have
a
really
big
dip
in
total
employment,
so
we
shed
almost
thirty
thousand
forty
thousand
jobs,
not
a
good
thing.
F
F
Some
have
been
almost
unaffected
where
some
have
just
been
decimated,
and
so,
while
this
gives
us
a
picture
at
the
top,
we
wanted
to
show
you
some
select
snippets
of
other
groupings
of
industry,
and
this
is
all
based
on
the
u.s
bureau
of
labor
statistics
that
have
been
impacted
differently
and
so
in
this
sector.
We're
looking
at
manufacturing
and
the
manufacturing
sector
has
been
hit
differently
and
what
you'll
see
is
a
pretty
perceptivist
drop
in
april,
but
sort
of
a
plateau.
F
So
we
haven't
seen
a
really
large
bounce
back
in
this
industry
which,
when
we
think
about
it,
is
not
terribly
surprising.
Manufacturing
includes
many
industries,
some
of
which
who
have
been
impacted
pretty
severely.
One
in
particular
that
comes
to
mind
is
the
aerospace
industry.
We
know
that
travel
is
down
for
many
reasons,
some
including
regulation,
but
other
industries.
You
know,
I
think
we
saw
as
recently
as
over
the
weekend.
You
know
industries
specializing
in
products
that
go
that
can
be
used
for
hygiene
or
sanitation.
F
We've
seen
an
increase
in
in
those
industries,
so
there's
been
some
differentiation
there
as
we
begin
to
look
at
another
industry,
that's
been
impacted
slightly
differently
and
you
should
be
looking
at
the
yellow
line
just
to
track
with
me,
the
mining
logging
and
construction
industry.
So
this
is
fascinating,
because
when
we
talk
about
total
employment,
we
can
actually
see
that
in
august
that
yellow
line
gets
above
our
2019
workers
on
payroll
number,
as
well
as
our
three-year
average.
F
Shifting
to
a
less
positive
story
is
the
one
of
leisure
and
hospitality,
and
I
think
this
is
very
close
to
many
of
us.
We've
talked
about
it
a
lot.
You
know
we
see
that
we
dropped
almost
20
000
jobs
from
march
to
april
in
this
industry,
which
is
an
incredible
impact.
I
guess
the
positive
of
this
is
that
we
have
seen
a
sharper
recovery.
F
F
I
think
the
major
takeaway
here
is
for
a
lot
of
our
hotel
and
lodging
industry.
The
impacts
have
not
been
that
significant,
with
the
exception
of
your
hotels
and
motels,
that
orange
line
that's
right
at
the
top.
If
you
compare
the
very
front
of
the
slide
july
of
2019
to
the
very
far
right
july
of
2020,
you
can
see
that
our
room
sales,
the
dollars
generated
through
hotel
nights,
is
down
almost
15
million
dollars,
which
is
a
pretty
substantial
impact.
F
When
we
talk
to
explore
asheville
and
the
groups
that
are
support
our
hotels,
you
know
we've
asked
them,
you
know,
so,
what's
the
state
of
your
recovery,
and
so
this
is
more
anecdotal
than
data.
But
what
we've
found
from
those
discussions
is
that
our
weekends
we're
seeing
kind
of
a
recovery.
We
feel
pretty
good
about
where
we're
at
with
that.
From
a
hotel
perspective.
F
F
One
is
events
we
just
don't
have
as
many
business-related
events
coming
into
town
for
a
variety
of
reasons,
the
primary
one
being
mass
gatherings.
Those
are
restricted,
so
you
would
not
expect
to
see
that
so
event,
venues
are
not
as
busy
as
they
normally
would
be.
You
know,
additionally,
we're
seeing
that
business
travel
isn't
quite
as
required
as
it
once
was.
You
know
more
people
are
virtual
than
ever
and
so
you're,
just
not
seeing
those
types
of
travel.
So
from
an
anecdotal
perspective,
weekends
seem
to
be
recovering
locally.
F
F
Next,
we
wanted
to
talk
about
housing
security,
so
what's
going
on
with
evictions,
and
so
this
data
comes
to
us
from
our
buncombe
county
sheriff's
office
and
we've
spent
a
good
amount
of
time
talking
to
them
about
it,
and
the
key
here
is,
as
you
can
see,
there's
clearly
a
gap
in
this
data
so
april
2020
through
june
of
2020.
You
see
that
there's
no
evictions
basically
and
the
reason
for
that,
as
you
may
recall,
was
there
there
was
a
federal
restriction
that
did
not
allow
these
evictions.
F
However,
in
july
of
2020,
you
can
see
that
there's
sort
of
we're
beginning
to
see
evictions
again
and
so
the
the
story
here
and
for
more
details
on
this.
We
could
certainly
get
it
for
you,
but
you
know
there's
about
a
40-day
period
between
the
initial
federal
restriction
and
then
the
later
cdc
restriction
on
evictions,
and
so
during
that
time
we
saw
we
began
to
see
you
know
a
spike.
F
F
Again,
I'm
not
the
expert
on
that,
but
wanted
to
give
you
a
picture
of
kind
of
what
that
looks
like
I'd,
also
be
remiss
if
I
I
didn't
say
this,
but
in
our
discussions
with
the
sheriff's
office,
you
know
the
sheriff's
office
is
required
to
to
serve
any
type
of
civil
paper
regardless
of
their.
You
know
perspective
on
it,
and
so
they
wanted
to
make
sure
that
we
were
clear
on
that.
This
is
something
they're
doing
because
they
have
to.
Regardless
of
you,
know
the
obvious
discussions
we've
had
on
on
coven.
F
So
that
was
my
last
slide
and
before
I
turned
it
over
to
fletch.
I
wanted
to
see
if
you
had
any
quick
questions
on
you
know,
evictions
or
any
of
the
employment
data
we
presented.
Discussion
on
travel
fletch
will
get
into
food
insecurity,
mental
health
when
he
steps
up
here.
But
if
there's
any
questions,
I'd
go
ahead
and
take
him
now.
G
Tim.
Thank
you.
This
is
really
helpful
as
we
look
at
the
more
recent
data
around
evictions
has
has
the
program
that
the
county's
providing
some
some
funding
for
around.
I
guess
legal
representation
for
tenants
during
evictions
has
that
really
kicked
into
gear.
Yet
it
has
okay,
so
so,
presumably
that
number
would
be
higher,
if
not
for
the
services
being
offered.
E
F
C
So
just
got
a
comment,
you
know
being
a
member
of
the
cda,
I'm
also
on
a
search
committee
for
the
replacement,
cvb,
and
some
information
came
out
that
one
of
the
the
that
a
source
that
a
particular
location
was
using
was
the
university
of
virginia
on
in
on
covent
information.
It
was
it
was
pretty
unique
in,
but
if
I
just
encourage
y'all
to
look
look
into
that,
I
can
provide
you.
Maybe
some
additional
information.
C
F
H
I'll
go
ahead
and
try
to
ask
the
question
as
we
look
at
it.
So
are
these
looking
specifically
at
evictions
that
are
related
to
covet
19
and
job
loss,
or
is
this
just
evictions
in
general,
because
I
mean
people
who
are
struggling
financially
are
going
to
struggle
continue
to
struggle
financially,
but
is
there?
Are
these
separated
sure.
F
I
Good
afternoon,
so
we're
going
to
talk
about
food
and
nutrition
services
first
and
nutrition
insecurity.
So
this
is
a
pretty
dramatic
graph.
You
can
see
a
transition
to
march
to
april
we
had
a
big
spike
in
our
fns
cases.
You
know
working
through
our
women,
infants
and
children
program
brought
3
000
cases
over
our
three
two
year
average
and
currently
have
7
000
more
recipients
than
this
time
last
year
and
we're
anticipating
that
that
trend
is
going
to
continue.
You
know
throughout
the
year
well
into
next
year.
I
I
What
we're
looking
at
specifically
here
is
in
the
red
reddish
orange
is
a
2019
data
and
then
2020
is
the
or
the
tl
is
the
2020
data,
and
it's
grouped
in
these
categories-
I'm
not
going
to
get
into
the
specifics
of
each
one,
but
the
takeaway
from
this
slide
is
that
in
2020,
almost
across
the
board.
In
all
these
categories,
you
see
here
on
the
left.
We
see
significant
increases
in
these
young
adults
using
this
crisis
text
line.
I
So
if
we
look
at,
I
apologize,
I
don't
have
better
clarity
on
these
maps,
but
if
we
look
at
western
north
carolina
on
just
about
all
of
these,
we're
going
to
see
an
increase
in
all
those
categories
listed
on
the
left,
notably
some
places
where
we
see
a
decrease
is
in
e
in
bullying
and
I
and
suicide-
and
we
don't
have
a
clear
interpretation
of
that.
But
there
might
a
logical
assumption.
I
D
So
the
last
portion
is
just
to
give
you
an
idea
of
what
what
we're
planning
and
what
we're,
what
we've
been
doing
and
what
will
be
done
in
the
next
four
to
12
weeks.
I
suppose,
starting
with
you
know
what
are
the
things
that
we're
thinking
about
and
as
public
health
and
other
partners.
Much
of
our
planning
efforts
have
been
focused
on
the
time
that
we
find
right
now,
which
is
the
flu
season
is
upon
us
and
covet
is
still
circulating.
D
And
so
many
of
those
who
are
at
high
risk
of
illness
for
covit
are
also
at
high
risk
for
flu,
and
those
are
the
groups
that
we're
talking
about
with
the
over
65
those
with
chronic
health
conditions.
You
know
individuals
who
are
in
nursing
homes
or
long-term
care
facilities
and
in
addition
for
our
children
under
two
and
pregnant
women,
you
know
we're
also
concerned
about
them
for
flu
season.
So
you
know
flu
is
available
within
our
flu
vaccine
is
available
in
our
community.
D
The
cdc
recommends
that
folks
get
their
flu
vaccine
and
kova
testing
is
also
available
in
our
community.
It's
recommended
for
those
who
have
symptoms
and
also
for
those
who
believe
they
may
have
been
exposed
or
close
contact,
and
the
planning
teams
have
been
spending
a
lot
of
time.
Thinking
about
these
areas
with
limited
access
for
testing
and
vaccination,
and
that's
what
I'm
going
to
go
into
right
now,
and
so
originally
we
had
had
three
fixed
sites
for
a
community
covid
testing
and
due
to
low
utilization
within
one
testing
site.
D
What
we
decided
to
do
is
maintain
our
two
fixed
sites
on
sundays
and
thursdays,
which
will
give
us
eight
fixed
sites
scheduled
for
october
and
then
that
third
testing
site,
we
have
repurposed
to
be
more
of
a
pop-up
testing
site
that
would
rotate
throughout
the
county
and
we
have
seven
pop-up
sites
that
are
scheduled
for
october,
in
conjunction
with
specific
community
partners,
in
order
to
reach
critical
and
marginalized
populations
like
our
historically
black
neighborhoods
and
our
hispanic
and
latinx.
And
so
you
can
see,
there's
a
15
15,
total
testing,
cova
testing
events
scheduled
for
october.
D
D
So
our
october
calendar
is
really
full
and
very
appreciative.
Community
partners
who
have
come
to
the
table
with
us
and
helped
us
identify
locations
and
spots
and
populations
that
need
it
so
identified
locations
include
here
in
downtown
emma
shiloh
and
other
areas,
and
I'm
talking
about
planning
can't
talk
about
planning
without
thinking
about
covet,
in
fact,
in
a
coveted
vaccine,
and
so
I
just
want
to
say
that
there
are
no
approved
vaccines
at
this
time.
D
I
will
say
that,
though
we
don't
know
much,
we
can
make
some
assumptions
in
that.
It's
likely
that
any
approved
vaccine
will
have
a
tiered
or
a
staggered
distribution,
which
means
it's
likely
that
there
will
be
some
type
of
prioritization
of
the
vaccine
and
then
work
its
way
towards
mass
or
general
population,
but
all
of
that
to
be
determined
but
just
wanted
to.
Let
you
know
that
these
are
things
that
are
on
our
radar,
that
we're
planning
for
and
trying
to
anticipate
as
much
as
possible,
also
on
our
radars
supporting
our
k
through
12.
D
So
what
we've
been
doing
is
providing
data
and
indicator
updates,
but
also
consultation
and
technical
assistance
regarding
the
strong
schools,
toolkit
and
other
department
of
health
and
human
services
guidance.
But
I
also
wanted
to
bring
attention
to
that.
We
have
implemented
a
school
nurse
case,
investigation,
training
and
a
team,
and,
as
in
an
effort
to
plan
for
as
students,
come
back
into
classrooms,
we
wanted
to
equip
our
school
nurses
with
the
same
case,
investigation
training
that
our
communicable
disease
nurses
have
at
health
and
human
services
through
our
department
of
public
health
and
our
communicable
disease.
D
Nurses,
trained
school
nurses
in
case
investigation
and
again
as
students
enter
classrooms
again
identified.
School
cases
would
be
assigned
to
our
school
nurses
and
those
school
nurses
have
a
team
lead
back
at
health
and
human
services
and
so
they're
serving
their
population
and
work
alongside
our
nurses
at
health
and
human
services
to
best
provide
services
to
our
schools
in
the
event
that
we
identify
cases.
I
Questions
want
to
speak
momentarily
about
planning
forward
for
the
winter
and
into
next
year.
Part
of
my
role
as
the
public
health
preparedness
director
is
coordinating
shelter,
training.
That's
that
works
in
fold
with
emergency
services
in
the
american
red
cross.
We
all
provide
a
component
of
that
this
year,
in
particular
with
cobot
upon
us.
We've
there's
been
guidance
from
several
different
agencies
from
the
cdc
to
the
red
cross
to
this
from
the
state
about
how
we
would
do
any
kind
of
mass
sheltering.
I
I
We've
had
several
meetings
between
emergency
services
and
red
cross
on
this
making
sure
we're
on
the
same
page,
there's
also
going
to
be
american
red
cross.
Their
intention
locally
this
year
is
if
we
do
have
any
sheltering
incidents,
to
try
to
put
those
people
in
hotels
which,
in
the
past,
depending
on
the
number
of
people
available,
we've
just
set
up
shelters.
Historically,
here
our
shelters
have
been
on
the
smaller
side.
Maybe
10
people
are
15.
I
a
couple
years
ago
we
happened
to
get
up
to
60,
but
they're
much
more
inclined
to
use
hotels
this
year
just
to
keep
people
out
of
that.
You
know
open
gathering
situation
and
then
another
concern
we
have
as
we're
working.
Our
way
through
hurricane
season
is
if
people
have
to
evacuate
or
shelter
on
the
coast,
and
with
this
increase
of
six
feet
distance,
they
may
not
have
this
space
and
resources.
I
So
the
state
has
a
plan
to
bring
those
people
requiring
sheltering
west
across
the
state
and
the
state's
already
identified
shelters
in
western
north
carolina
and
those
are
going
to
be
state-run,
shelters
which
we
can
assist
with,
but
they'll
be
under
the
guidance
of
the
state
discussing
code
purple
we've
had
many
planning
efforts
in
progress.
We
know
that
locally
we've
been
able
to
increase
our
capacity
in
anticipating
requirements.
Do
the
covid
one
thing
we're
still
working
on,
which
is
a
current
gap,
is
our
daytime
warming
stations.
I
So
this
is
a
little
bit
different
than
code
purple
itself,
but
where,
during
the
day,
people
who
need
the
resource
can
come
inside
indoors
to
warm
themselves,
we're
still
working
that
issue.
I
just.
I
also
want
to
bring
attention
to
another
line
of
effort
that
stemmed
from
originally
from
the
eoc
emergency
operations
center.
We
set
up
for
kovid.
We
brought
so
many
great
resources
into
the
fold
from
the
community.
K
L
L
L
M
L
This
was
about
to
come
to
the
board
this
board
back
in
pre-covert
in
january,
and
that
that
area
shown
on
the
map
on
the
screen
is
pretty
accurate.
I
pulled
in
one
day
to
see
where
the
property
stake
was
so
it's
that
eight
foot
portion
in
that
grass
medium
between
our
drive
to
the
parking
deck
and
that
parking
lot
where
they
want
to
build.
So
what
happens
in
the
mechanics
of
closing
an
unopened
street
and
in
old
platz?
L
L
The
resolution
declining
offer
to
use
property
at
emma
elementary
school,
as
you
all
well
know,
I
mean
the
county's,
been
focusing
on
funding
and
helping
with
early
childhood
learning
and
education.
Over
the
past
several
years,
buncombe
county
school
board
has
been
cooperating
and
working
diligently
with
that
effort.
L
L
So
the
idea
is
to
lease
that
long
term
to
verner
for
the
construction,
use
and
operation
of
that
site
for
early
childhood
learning,
and
what
the
school
board
has
to
do
by
statute
is
first
offer
that
surplus
property.
They
declared
the
property
surplus
some
months
ago.
They
have
to
offer
it
to
the
county.
So
the
ask
here
is
that
this
board
decline
offered
to
use
the
property
for
any
other
use
or
purpose
and
just
allow
it
to
be
used
for
early
childhood
learning.
L
L
C
C
C
A
M
So
our
request
is
that
the
library
board,
based
on
the
recommendation
of
the
finance
department,
requests
that
the
board
of
commissioners
approves
adopting
the
practice
of
clearing
the
library,
fine
and
feed
at
older
than
three
years,
and
the
current
amount
on
the
books
is
1
million.
Thirty,
seven,
four
hundred
and
thirteen
dollars
again
going
back
to
june
of
1994.
A
A
M
So
so
what
happens?
Is
it?
We
have
a
fine
threshold
of
ten
dollars
so
once
it
hits
ten
dollars
a
fine
stops
accumulating,
they
can
then
bring
in
the
the
item
and
pay
for
the
item
and
usually
the
fees.
At
that
point,
we
do
use
a
collection
service
that
engages
with
the
patrons
and
makes
contact.
We
make
an
initial
contact
before
we
send
them
and
they
are
sent
at
a
50
threshold.
M
So
until
their
combination
of
fines
and
fees
and
late
times
hits
50,
they
stay
with
us
when
they
hit
50,
then
they
go
the
collection
service
and
they
attempt
to
make
contact
over
the
period
of
154
days
past.
That,
though,
there's
no
consequence
there's
they
don't
get
reported
to
a
credit
reporting
agency
or
anything
along
those
lines.
So
it's
just
it's
just
a
kind
of
a
continual
effort
of
making
contact
to
see
it
to
see
if
we
can
get
those
items
back.
M
M
A
M
A
N
Just
so
you're
all
aware,
this
is
kept
on
the
library,
their
set
of
books,
so
we
don't
see
it
on
our
ledger.
So
when
we
discovered
this,
that's
when
it's
like,
we
need
to
actually
record
this
on
our
ledger,
so
we
recorded
a
huge
receivable
and
the
corresponding
revenue.
So
now
we've
inflated
revenue.
So
it's
not
realistic
because
we
know
we're
not
going
to
collect
it.
That's
why
we're
asking
for
you
to
write
this
off.
Thank
you.
C
N
N
But
you
know
jim
wasn't
aware
of
it
until
we
started
digging
and
then
sure
we're
like
wow
wow
yeah.
We
didn't
want
to
bring
it
to
you,
but
we
thought
you
might
want
to
see
it
yeah.
I
appreciate
it
yeah.
This
will
be
on
assuming
that
you're
all
good
with
eliminating
this
uncollectible
debt
it'll
be
on
next
or
two
weeks.
Agenda,
yeah
and
it'll
just
be
a
consent
item
to
eliminate
it.
So.
C
C
M
M
We
gently
remind
people
that
they
have
these
items
out,
but
moving
forward.
The
the
trend
in
libraries
across
the
country
really
is
to
eliminate
the
collection
of
fines.
There's
a
there's,
a
variety
of
reasons.
For
that,
probably
the
the
largest
reason
for
doing
that
is
to
reduce
barriers
to
access.
M
Folks,
who
you
know
either
get
into
trouble
and
aren't
able
to
pay
off
their
fines
will
never
come
back
to
the
library
or
they
may
not
come
in
the
first
place,
just
because
they're
discouraged
by
the
potential
for
that,
and
so
from
that
standpoint
alone.
That's
that's
a
motivator
for
eliminating
the
collection
of
fines.
That
doesn't
mean
forgetting
that
a
book
is
not
returned.
If
it
or
an
item
is
not
returned,
I
mean.
M
Go
out,
you
know,
continue
to
try
and
pursue
and
get
those
materials
back,
but
as
far
as
just
the
late
fines
eliminating
those
is
something
that
you
see
as
a
trend
nationally
chicago
one
of
the
larger
systems
who
have
done
this
famously
last
year
they
saw
240
percent
return
and
the
amount
of
materials
coming
back
to
them
once
they
implemented
the
no
fine
strategy,
and
so
the
kind
of
the
general
condition
they're
saying
across
the
country
is
either
your
returns
are
kind
of
stable.
You
know
they.
M
They
come
back
generally
around
the
time
that
they're
due
or
you
get
a
little
bit
better
of
a
return,
but
they're
not
seeing
this
sort
of
situation
where
people
just
never
bring
back
the
materials.
So
that
would
be
my
thinking
moving
forward
and
it's
certainly
something
we've
been
thinking
about
already
about
how
we
might
pursue
that
limiting
fines.
C
C
M
Recent
years
yeah,
just
looking
at
the
past
few
years
with
our
collection
service,
they've
been
returning
of
probably
somewhere
between
42
and
44
000,
that's
a
combo
if
we
get
fines
and
payments
for
lost
damaged
items.
So
the
total
return
we're
seeing
either
with
fines
or
paying
for
items,
is
in
the
mid
40
000
range
and.
A
M
Yes,
every
time
we
place
a
a
claim,
as
895
per
account
that
we
send
to
them.
That's
after
the
50
threshold
is
hit.
We
send
the
account
to
the
collection
service,
so
the
I
got
some
figures
here.
Let
me
pull
this
out.
I
want
to
say
it's
in,
like
six
to
seven
thousand
dollar
range
generally
versus
the
you
know,
42
to
44
we'd
get
back
something
along
those
lines,
but
then.
M
A
So
I
mean
it's
the
sound.
I
mean
you
make
a
pretty
strong
argument
that
maybe
this
whole
effort
to
try
to
go
extract
this
money
back
from
folks
who
you
know
lost
a
book
or
were
late
or
whatever
is
maybe
just
not
a
good
use
of
of
resources
and
effort
and
there's
some
good
arguments
to
not
not
use
that
as
a
tool
so
are.
Are
the
are
you
going
to
issue
that
recommendation
to
us,
or
is
it
still
something
that's
being
kind
of
vetted
or.
M
A
A
C
You
know
an
alternative,
you
know
that
you
know
the
libra.
The
purpose
of
the
library
is
to
be
open
for
people
to
be
able
to
come
in
and
be
able
to.
You
know,
get
their
books
have
the
time
there
or
go
online
and
to
be
be
assisted,
educated.
You
know
strengthened
in
their
spirit.
You
know,
books
do
work
wonders
for
people's
souls
and
they
do
at
the
same
time
you
have
the
business
that
we
have
to
run,
and
so
what
we
need
is
good,
solid
recommendations.
C
Obviously,
there
was
a
hole
in
the
policy
you
know
and
we're
trying
to
fix
it
and
and
through
some
good
you
know
fiscal
review.
You
know
we've
that
has
been
discovered,
and
so
what
we
need
is
a
is
a
solid
recommendation
that
balances
all
of
that.
You
know,
and
I
don't
think
we're,
certainly
not
looking
for
anything
like
that
today,
but
you
know
I
mean
that's
my
thoughts.
You
know
that
we're
looking
for
that.
You
know.
C
We
certainly
want
personal
accountability
for
for
people
that
you
know
that
use
this
facility
and
use
this
service,
but
we
also
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
not
creating
something
that
makes
someone
who
has
definite
need
of
coming
in
and
using
it
more,
but
they
don't
use
it
because
they
got
a
five
dollar
fine,
you
know,
so
we
need
to
balance
all
of
that.
So
thanks
for
bringing
it
to
us
absolutely.
A
O
O
All
right,
so
one
of
the
first
questions
that
you
all
asked
me
was
what
were
the
actual
numbers
that
we're
looking
at,
for
you
know,
usage,
and
so
what
we're
able
to
do
is
gather
the
2019
data
and
so
out
of
the
2019
data.
We
had
33
employees
that
used
the
birth
or
family
medical
leave
for
birth,
and
then
we
had
74
families
that
used
time
off
to
care
for
a
family
member.
O
Just
so
you
are
aware
one
of
the
things
we
also
did
was
aggregate
the
wages.
So
we
took
all
the
employees
that
used
for
the
birth
or
all
the
employees
that
used
the
the
care
and
we
aggregated
their
wages
and
so
for
the
birth
of
a
child.
The
average
wage
was
28
dollars
and
20
cents
and
the
average
wage
for
those
that
used
for
family
care
were.
O
28.65
there
we
go
so
the
next
piece
is
is
how
do
we,
how
do
I?
How
did
I
get
the
data,
and
so
what
I
wanted
to
make
sure
what
we
were
aware
of
is
the
the
difference
in
what
the
deferred
cost
and
what
the
temp
costs
I'm
about
to
talk
about,
so
the
deferred
costs
is
really
what
we're
looking
at
is
the
employee's
current
salary.
O
That's
in
the
budget
that
if
they
were
to
go
out
on
paid,
leave
we'd
planned
on
paying
for
it
anyway,
and
so
what
would
happen
is
if
they
were
to
leave?
There
would
be
some
liability
there
for
temp
costs.
That
would
be
if
we
were
to
backfill
their
position
for
whatever
period
of
time
that
you
all
grant
and
what
we
looked
at
is
typically
for
our
family.
You
know
if
someone
was
going
to
stay
home
to
take
care
of
a
family
member,
they
typically
do
it
right
now
intermittently,
and
so
what
did
that
look
like?
O
How
would
I
calculate
that
figure,
and
so
what
we
looked
at
is
for
the
first
four
weeks.
We
did
not
take
into
consideration
that
the
compensation
would
be
coming
out
of
that,
and
so
the
next
slide
is
what
are
the
deferred
costs
again?
This
is
what
the
exact
salary
is.
So,
if
you're
looking
at
our
33
employees
that
took
time
off
to
care
for
their
babies
or
for
adoptions.
G
G
G
E
O
Charges
that
are
going
to
incur
so
there
will
always
be
something
that's
going
to
happen.
Okay,
so
if
you
did
want
to
stagger
so
we
talked
about
staggering
so
rather
than
offering
12
and
12
you
might
decide,
12
and
and
8
or,
and
that's
why
the
figures
are
listed
this
way.
So
you
could
have
a
better
okay
idea.
O
O
O
A
That's
somebody
took
the
leave
in
2019.,
took
time
off
to
take
care
of
a
family
member,
but
but
in
most
cases
they
had
to
use
their
own
time
for
that
right,
so
it
seems
like
that
would
be.
It
will
be
a
dramatically
larger
number.
If
we
are
now
saying
to
the
organization
it
could
be
you
get
paid
to
you
know,
you
know
you
can
just
do
it
and
you
still
you
still
get
paid
just
as
much
as
if
you
were
working.
O
A
A
A
A
O
I
actually
agree,
I
think
the
the
paid
family
care
portion
would
be
it's
it's
something
that
employees
you
know
we.
We
have
employees
that
have
sick
family
members,
and
so,
if
they
have
the
opportunity
to
stay
home
with
their
family
and
care
for
them-
and
you
know
in
regards
to
whatever
their
illness
is
what
a
great
opportunity.
However,
it
does
come
with
a
cost,
but.
A
Is
there
a
way
to
based
on
other
organizations,
have
we
looked
at
case?
Studies
of
you
know
this
county
did
this
five
years
ago
and
you
know
here's
the
percentage
of
employees
who
utilize
the
full
eight
weeks
or
ten
weeks
or
twelve
weeks
they
utilized
it
every
year.
You
know,
or
they
use
high
percentages
of
that
right
every
year.
So
they're.
Basically
you
know
a
couple
of
months.
Each
year.
O
C
O
P
A
little
bit
more,
we
didn't
ask
the
question
of
the
experience
that
they're,
seeing
how
many
more
people
are
taking
it.
We
were
really
focusing
on
how
many
weeks
they
were
given
and
most
people
were
in
that
six
to
eight
week
range.
Okay,
we
can
go
back
and
ask
what
costs
are
you
seeing?
We
did
not
ask
that
cost
questions
and.
A
Just
you
know,
and
again
just
just
what
the
utilization
is.
I
mean,
is
it
if
we
give
eight
weeks
or
ten
weeks
or
wherever
we
land
is
it?
You
know
five
percent
of
employees
who
utilize
the
full
amount
each
year
or
10
or
15
or
20.
Just
you
know
what
are
what
are
the
experiences
of
similar
organizations
would
be
really
helpful.
B
So
this
this
107
was
actual
employees
last
year
who
used
this
the
fdmla,
the
numbers
here,
the
two
four.
Those
are
just
estimate.
How
many
of
those
107
did
we
fill
in
with
a
temp
last
year
or
we
paid
overtime?
Is
these
these
numbers
to
the
right?
Are
just
estimates?
If
the
so
we
really
don't
know
how
many
of
those
107
we
actually
put
a
temp
in,
because
I
mean
these
numbers
could,
if,
like
you
say,
I
have
107.
If
you
only
filled
in
two
positions,
these
numbers
are
going
to
be
way
lower
than
this.
O
Typically,
when
you,
because
everyone's
taking
their
own
pto,
you
know
it's,
I
know
in
one
area
like
health
and
human
services,
they
actually
have
higher
they've.
They
have
it
built
into
their
matrix
where
they
actually
hired
additional
people,
because
their
population
tends
to
have
more
children,
others
they
just
got
to
figure
it
out.
It's
it's
typically
overtime
or
you
know
your
exempts
are
going
to
pick
up
the
weight
on
that
now.
I'm
sorry.
O
So
a
couple
of
the
questions
that
were
asked
the
last
time
had
to
do
with
our
parents
that
both
of
the
parents,
the
you
know,
whatever
the
the
parents,
actually
work
for
buncombe
county
and
the
way
our
policy
is
written,
is
directly
because
of
the
law.
And
so
we
are
in
compliance
with
the
law.
And
so
I
just
want
to
sort
of
take
you
over
what
the
law
for
family
medical
actually
requires
us
to
do,
but
do
know
we
can
be
more
generous
than
the
law.
O
We
just
can't
be
more
strict
than
the
law.
Okay,
so
the
key
piece
for
this
one.
Is
it
just
talks
about
what
what
are
some
of
the
limitations
in
regards
to
the
shared
leave
piece
and
it's
under
fact
sheet?
28,
l,
and
so
when
we
look
at
what
are
subject
to
the
limitations,
meaning
that
the
spouses
have
to
share
that
leave.
It's
the
birth
of
the
son
of
the
daughter,
it's
the
adoption,
and
it's
also
caring
of
a
parent.
O
Now
that's
important,
because
the
next
one
oops
wrong
way.
Sorry,
the
next
one
talks
about
that.
If
I
was
going
to
stay
home
and
care
for
my
husband
or
my
wife,
my
or
either
one
of
my
children,
that's
not
included
in
the
shared
piece
of
the
leave,
nor
is
it
to
take
care
of
an
employee
with
a
serious
health
condition
or
when
it
when
we're
playing
with
the
military.
So
anything
that
has
to
do
with
exit
exidency
say
that
one
three
times
fast
right
that
also
doesn't
apply
here.
O
So
are
you
all
clear
on
this
piece
when
it
comes
to
the
law,
because
I
know
that
was
some
confusion
last
week,
and
so
at
the
end
of
the
day,
I've
got
some
more
work.
You're
asking
me
to
get
some
utilization
costs,
so
I
guess
one
of
the
things
I'd
ask
you
to
think
about,
because
it
looks
like
I
have
to
come
back
with
more
information
is:
are
you
looking
at?
O
O
What
is
the
number
of
weeks
that
you
are
looking
at
and
it
may
represent,
based
on
the
data,
I'm
able
to
get
back
and
did
you
want
to
offer
a
enhanced
benefit
for
those
married
couples?
So
that
way,
if,
if
my
spouse
works
here,
that
he
or
she
has
the
exact
same
benefit
when
it
comes
to
fmla
that
I
have
for
all
aspects
of
fmla.
C
C
P
A
A
Could
you
could
you
sort
of
describe
and
maybe
as
kind
of
layman's
terms
as
possible?
The
you
know
if
someone
has
some
kind
of
you
know
a
scary,
serious
health
emergency
in
their
families?
Of
course,
we
all
want
people
to
be
able
to.
You
know,
respond
to
that
and
not
have
to
worry
about
anything
but
focusing
on
that
at
the
time.
A
Could
you
describe
if
we,
regardless
of
how
many
weeks
we
end
up,
choosing
to
provide
on
this?
If
we
include
this
benefit,
what
are
the
kind
of
criteria
for
for
what
an
employee
would
be
able
to
use
to
take
the
paid
time
off,
because
it's
not
just
sort
of
any
illness
right,
there's
some
criteria
that
we're
going
to
be
utilizing.
Could
you
describe
kind
of
how
that
works
and
like
how
what
level
of
kind
of
seriousness
or
things
like
that
that
would
be
covered
under
the
policy,
so.
O
Typically,
the
physician
is
the
one
that
dictates
what
we
do.
I
mean
I'll,
be
honest
with
you,
so
if
you
had
an
employee
that,
let's
say
the
spouse
was
in
the
hospital,
the
physician
may
say
that
it's
my
responsibility
as
a
spouse
to
go
sit
by
his
or
her
bedside.
It
could
be
to
drive
my
spouse
to
and
from
cancer
treatments.
It
could
be
my
responsibility
to
care
for
my
spouse
at
home
when
they
can't
do
the
normal
activities
daily
living.
O
We
actually
talked
about
that
at
our
leadership
team
and
one
of
the
things
we
we
discussed
is
you
know:
do
we
limit
it
to
those
that
you
know
the
the
actual
care
piece
you
know?
So
if
I
had
to
take
my
husband
back
and
forth
or
my
spouse
back
and
forth
to
the
doctors
for
their
treatments
or
if
I
had
to
care
for
him
or
her
at
home
for
their
treatments,
those
kinds
of
things
would
that
would
that
be
better?
O
But
what
we
found
is,
if
we're
looking
at
true
equity
and
we're
offering
you
know,
would
it
only
benefit
those
that
are
at
a
higher
salary
range?
Could
I
afford
to
stay
home
and
not
receive
compensation
because
it
didn't
fall
within
this?
This
line
of
caring?
I
wanted
to
be
there
emotionally
for
my
family
member,
but
our
policy
didn't
allow
that.
So
if
we
had
a
lower
earner,
would
they
not
be
able
to
afford
that
and
is
that
true
equity
and
we
at
the
leadership
teams
that
that
really
wasn't
true
equity.
A
You
know
okay,
and
so
did
you
say
it's
it's
a
physician's
determination
if
it
meets
the
criteria
or
not
like
like
an
employee,
would
be
required
to
provide
a
letter
from
a
physician
saying,
correct,
here's,
the
care,
that's
needed,
and
that
would
be
the
criteria.
If
is
a
physician's
letters,
provided
is
that
right.
O
Exactly
and
a
lot
of
times
we
enter
into
internet
interactive
discussion.
However,
if
the
physician
says
you
know
it's
it's,
this
person
needs
to
do
this,
then
the
employee,
that's
that's!
What
we
abide
by
is
what
the
physician
is
is
asking
us.
If
it's
something
that
I
would
say,
there
really
is
very
few
times
that
we
will
go
against
whatever
the
physician
says.
You
know
if
there's
ways
that
we
can
have
some
kind
of
accommodation
and
again
it
goes
back
into
interactive
discussion.
A
P
Go
back
we'll,
go
back
and
try
to
get
answers.
I
do
know
that
we've
been
reaching
out
to
our
county
partners
quite
heavily,
and
a
lot
of
them
are
still
dealing
with
covet
and
can't
get
some
responses
back
as
quickly
as
we
would
like.
But
if
we
do
get
those
responses,
we'll
be
back
again
in
two
weeks,
if
not,
we
would
let
you
know
what
we're
hearing
back.
At
least
we
would
do
a
touch
point,
at
least
next
next
meeting.
C
I
think
the
other
thing
too.
We
got
to
look
at
options,
whether
it's
I
mean
if,
if
this
was
a,
if
this
was
a
a
company
benefit
for
other
than
you
know,
a
governmental
you
know
benefit,
then
you
would,
you
might
even
be
phasing
into
an
ultimate
goal
because
you'd
be
testing
the
cost
through
the
process.
C
C
You
know,
maybe
the
benefits
increased,
you
know
a
little
bit
and
then
we
measure
it
and
see
how
it
works,
and
you
know
instead
of
I
mean
we
got
to
know
the
cost
and
we
can't
because
once
you
offer
the
benefit
and
you're
not
going
to
roll
it
back
hard
to
pull
back,
I
mean
I'll
roll
it
back.
You
can't
yeah
I'll.
O
O
B
O
I'll
be
honest
with
you
with
what
we
have
right
now,
because
I
did
ask
this
question
of
my
benefits.
Person
of
the
employees
that
have
taken
their
full
12
weeks
has
anyone
left
immediately
after
and
I
only
got
one
and
it
was
really.
This
person
ended
up
going
from
full-time
down
to
part-time,
simply
because
she
had
four
children
and
it
just
didn't
make
sense
to
put
the
all
four
children
into
child
care.
E
G
E
G
G
C
I
mean
I
like
get
it
like
this.
I
mean
it's
open,
we're
able
to
talk
through
it
and
some
good.
You
know,
I
think
I
think
more
decisions,
better
decisions
come
out
when
we're
all
able
to
kind
of
you
know,
throw
it
out
and
hash
it
out,
and
I
mean
because
it's
better
today
I
mean
you
know
we're
gathering
more
information,
we're
learning
more
we're
asking
more
questions.
G
O
P
These
were
the
decision
points
that
we
needed
as
we
start
crafting.
What
would
it
look
like
in
a
policy
so
on
the
mirador
staggered
sharon?
You
can
speak
to
this,
but
when
we
were
here
last
time
with
some
of
the
comments
that
we
heard
thank
you
we
were
talking
about.
Do
we
have
the
same
benefit
for
parental
leave,
the
birth
or
child
and
care
of
a
family,
or
do
we
have
different
weeks?
So
that
was
the
staggered
myriad.
It
would
be
the
same
or
staggered.
P
We
could
have
six
weeks
for
one
eight
weeks
for
the
other
or
eight
and
ten,
but
it
could
be
a
staggered
benefit,
so
we
wanted
to
get
where.
Where
were
you
landing
on
that
idea
and
the
number
of
weeks
we'll
take
that
back
and
get
more
information
on
the
number
of
weeks
and
then
the
last
one
was
around
the
sheared
lee
for
both
married
employees,
and
that
was
around
the
fmla,
where
you
had
a
combined
leave.
P
C
So
I
mean,
I
think,
there's
I
mean
there's
to
me:
there's
numbers
associated
with
every
every
one
of
these.
You
know
I
mean
and
if
you're
improving
a
benefit
at
any
company,
you
work
for.
Let's
just
realize.
That
is
a
positive
move
for
those
team
members,
and
so,
if
we
have,
if
we're
improving
that
benefit,
then
it
will
be
helpful
to
those
families
without
question
to
their
individuals
to
their.
You
know,
whoever
they're
caring
for
what
we
have
to
do
is
just
be
very,
very
careful
and
how
much
is
mirrored.
How
much
is
staggered?
C
How
much
is
you
know
two
weeks
three
weeks,
you
know
ten
weeks,
you
know
how
much
is
the
cost
in
how
much
is
it
shared?
For
both
I
mean
all
those
have
to
have
number
for
me.
They
just
have
numbers
associated
with
it,
so
that
you
know
I
just
don't
want
us
to
forget
the
fact
that
whatever
improvements
we
make
is
going
to
improve
a
and
already
good
good
program
that
we
have.
So
you
know
if
we
see
the
end
result
being
way
out
here.
We
don't
necessarily
have
to
get
there.
C
O
H
O
C
J
C
E
O
O
G
Just
to
share
my
perspective
as
one
commissioner
on
those
three
questions
I
based
on
kind
of
the
conversations
we
had,
would
support
a
mirrored
policy
of
10
or
12
weeks,
and
I
want
to
see
where
the
data
lands
and
would
really
appreciate
some
sort
of
staff,
guidance
or
recommendations
on
the
spousal
question.
I
know
what
the
basement
is
under
federal
law
that
was
helpful
to
get
that,
but
just
around
what
seems
like
a
fair,
equitable
way
to
approach
it.
G
Understanding,
you're,
not
wanting
to
understanding
where
we're
wanting
to
be
as
fair
as
possible,
and
also
you
can
imagine,
scenarios
where
a
family
could
have
more
than
one
thing
happen
in
a
year
very
easily
one
plan,
one
unplanned
and
how
how
we
best
support
a
family
that
works
for
the
county.
That's
navigating
that.
So
if
there
could
be
any
guidance
or
recommendations
on
that
piece,
I'd
certainly
recommend.
I
mean.
Certainly
I'm
sorry.
A
E
A
A
A
Sharon,
thank
you
so
much
so
we're
going
to
talk
about
this
again
in
two
weeks.
At
the
briefing
again
one
other
process
question
to
have
the
public
hearing,
do
we
need
to
have
all
of
the
exact
language
of
what
the
personnel
revisions
would
be
or
could
we
because
we
could
go
ahead
and
if
the
answer
is
no
and
we're
just
saying
we're
talking
about
this
topic,
we
could
actually
go
ahead
and
do
the
public
hearing
in
two
weeks
and
get
that
done.
A
L
A
B
You
know
we
were
emailed.
I
guess
it
was
three
weeks
ago
about
something
that
went
on
down
at
the
board
of
elections.
Some
and
then
the
email
said
that
they
were
going
to
work.
Sheriff's
office
and
e.m
was
going
to
try
to
work
a
plan
to
make
sure
that
our
voting
in
buncombe
county
is
say
done
safely
and
people
aren't
being
intimidated.
B
P
Yes-
and
we
actually
did
a
tabletop
last
week
with
all
of
those
parties
involved
and
fletch-
was
part
of
that,
and
one
of
the
leaders
of
that
he
and
taylor
so
I'll.
Ask
him
to
brief
on
what
happened
at
the
tabletop
and
we're
from
that
tabletop
and
experienced
your
craft
and
what
that
policy
will
look
like
and
plans
will
be
prepared
for
election
day.
So
he
can
just
give
you
a
brief
highlight
on
what
we
did
on
that
tabletop
great.
I
Hello
again
so
even
prior
to
the
tabletop
exercise,
we
have
last
week
about
two
weeks
before
that
we
met
all
the
key
players:
election
services,
emergency
services,
us
represented
public
health,
asheville
police
department,
buncombe,
county
sheriff's
department,
all
met
and
discussed.
You
know
our
biggest
concerns
going
forward
into
election
season.
I
What
was
what
we
anticipated
as
our
biggest
threats
and
then
from
that
working
with
ap
tech
who
spot
at
the
ab
tech
training
facility.
We
sponsored
that
tabletop
exercise
last
wednesday
in
the
prior
discussion.
We
discussed
everything
from
you
know:
winter
storms,
an
early
winter
storm
flooding,
loss
of
power
at
specific
sites,
touched
on
some
stuff
we've
seen
across
the
country,
but
as
other
places
open
up
early
voting,
some
voter
intimidation,
some
blocking
parking
lots,
some
I'm
trying
to
fake
having
long
queues
to
get
in.
I
So
we
discussed
some
of
that
and
and
then
everything
up
to
the
point
of
also
this
election
will
be
unique
because
there's
so
many
mail-in
ballots,
that's
going
to
be
delayed
for
final
counts,
so
talking
about
not
just
up
to
election
day,
but
the
week
after
the
election
anticipated
problems
there.
So
last
week's
exercise
focused
on
a
couple
of
those
key
things.
We
focused
on
an
early
winter
storm
and
loss
of
power
at
some
voting
sites.
I
P
A
Yeah
and
maybe
just
one
follow-up
question:
if
somebody
you
know
whether
it's
early
voting
sites
are
going
to
start
opening
up
pretty
soon
so
once
the
once,
you
know,
there's
the
early
voting
sites
and
then
the
election
day
sites,
if
somebody
if
a
person
in
the
county
is
going
to
vote
or
whatever,
if
they
see
something
that
that
doesn't
seem
right
like
hey.
This
is
voter
intimidation
or
you
know,
because
obviously
people
have
a
you
know.
A
I
Well,
I
apologize.
I
wasn't
prepared
to
speak
to
this,
but
I
know
there
is
a.
There
are
hot
lines
where
you
see
any
kind
of
whether
it's
intimidation
or
have
questions
about.
What's
going
on
poll
in
sight,
there's
state
and
national
hotlines
you
can
call,
but
also
if
anyone
does
feel
that
there
is
intimidation
or
potential
violence
in
escalating
situations,
they
can
call
9-1-1
the
9-1-1
call
center
is
going
to
be
have
a
special.
I
You
know
response
set
up
for
the
next
couple
of
weeks
during
early
voting
and
voting
day
to
have
a
slightly
different
response
for
polling
sites
than
they
normally
would.
But
that
was
part
part
of
the
planning
process
we
went
through
and
I
could
we
can
reach
out
to
voting
services
and
get
that
make
sure
that
hotline
I
know
they're
having
a
campaign
specifically
to
get
that
stuff
out
there,
but
there
are
hotlines
to
call
both
regionally
statewide
and
nationally
for
voting
concerns.
