We
hope
this
will
be
an
interesting
process
for
you
and
we
will
go
right
into
our
presentations,
our
first
presentation
after
after
we
do
after
we
do
I
always
forget
this
part.
After
we
do
attendance,
we
will.
We
will
start
with
our
first
presenter,
who
is
Metro
Interfaith,
so
John
we
may
we
begin
with
you.
B
You,
okay,
our
first
presenter
from
Metro
Interfaith.
The
rules
of
the
game
are
about
a
five
minute
presentation
with
about
five
minutes
for
questions
and
answers
by
the
committee,
but
no
no
hooks
come
down
if
you
go
over
that
time.
So
please
don't
worry
good
evening
and
you
need
to
keep
the
microphone
tremendously
close
to
be
heard.
Is.
B
J
F
J
Good,
my
name
is
Conan
Smith
I'm,
the
CEO
of
Metro
Interfaith,
thanks
for
having
me
here
tonight.
So
you
would
like
to
hear
more
about
the
Binghamton
homeownership
Academy
I
believe
so.
The
the
academy
is
a
partnership
that
was
created
a
few
administrations
back
between
the
city
of
Binghamton,
Metro,
Interfaith,
Chenango
opportunities
at
the
time
not
for
profit
out
of
Chenango
County
and
Habitat
for
Humanity
The
Academy
is
designed
to
help
improve
homeownership
rates
and
the
housing
stock.
J
It's
income
eligible
requirements
for
the
program,
so
folks
have
to
be
low
to
moderate
income
household
owners
and
it's
a
really
great
program.
It
helps
helps
with
expensive
but
needed
repairs
such
as
roofsome
foundations,
which
are
always
very
important
for
a
house.
So
we've
been
I,
think
we've
been
administering
the
programs
for
about
10
years,
maybe
a
little
more
than
that
I
kind
of
lost
track
of
time.
J
J
Exactly
so,
we
use
the
funds
to
cover
the
costs
of
administration
costs,
as
well,
as
you
know,
providing
the
the
counseling
and
education
of
the
folks
that
come
in.
We
take
care
of
all
the
intake
paperwork
qualifying
for
the
folks
that
come
in
the
program
postage,
your
you
know
your
day-to-day
costs
for
of
running
a
business.
J
J
We
have
plenty
of
plenty
of
good
Messengers
out
there
that
spread
the
news
about
the
the
work
that
we
do.
So
we
we
have
a
class
right
now
we're
teaching
a
class
right
now,
it's
that
was
supposed
to
be
going
on
tonight.
We
had
to
cancel
it
tonight,
but
I
think
there's
18
people
enrolled
in
that
class.
Tonight,
it's
a
five-week
series.
It
goes
for
five
weeks,
it's
three
and
a
half
hours
long
and
those
assuming
everyone
gets
through
the
class
and
and
graduates
through
the
class.
J
Theoretically
they
as
long
as
they're
prepared
to
apply
for
a
mortgage.
Potentially
they
could
be
a
homeowner.
You
know
say
within
the
next
next
three
months
and
they
would
definitely
be
interested
in
buying
in
the
city.
Ultimately,
that's
their
goals.
They
want
to
be
homeowners
within
the
city
itself,
so
they
would
be
applying
for
the
assistance
funds
through
the
city
of
Binghamton.
B
J
So
that
is
data
that
I
don't
track
or
that
we
don't
track
and
a
lot
of
it
is
a
lot
of
it
hinges
on
ultimately,
with
the
what
the
the
participant
wants
to
do.
So,
theoretically
they
might
complete
the
class.
Perhaps
they
have
to
clean
up
some
credit
issues
or
or
work
on
savings,
and
so
that
might
hold
them
up
from
buying
a
house
immediately,
but
they
might,
they
might
attain
all
their
goals
and
be
able
to
purchase
a
home
saying
in
a
year
two
years
from
when
they
get
through
the
class.
J
J
J
B
F
J
J
You
can
also
use
it
not
only
with
the
cities
program,
but
you
can
also
use
it
with
other
home
buyer
assistance.
Programs
within
the
area
here
we're
a
HUD
certified
housing,
counseling
agency.
So
our
certificate
certificate
is
accepted
across
the
country.
They
could
move
to
Ohio
if
they
wanted
to
and
use
our
certificate
to
purchase
a
home,
but
ultimately
I
mean
we're
focused
on
trying
to
get
folks
to
purchase
homes
within
the
city
of
Binghamton.
J
So,
theoretically,
in
the
ideal
situation,
they're
going
to
graduate
they're
going
to
obtain
their
certificates,
they're
going
to
go
to
the
bank,
get
pre-approved
for
a
loan
they're
going
to
start
looking
for
a
home,
find
a
home
come
to
us,
come
back
to
us,
apply
for
the
city's
down
payment
assistance,
closing
cost
assistance,
and
we
would.
We
would
work
that
through
the
the
system
and
then
ultimately,
they
would
receive
money
from
the
city
of
Binghamton
for
down
payment,
posing
cost
assistance.
Get
a
mortgage
with
a
local
lender,
purchase
a
home.
L
J
J
J
G
J
J
J
J
G
J
So
we
hold
the
courses
five
times
a
year,
so
we'll
be
doing
like.
Currently
we
have
this
this
course
going
on
and
it'll
end
where
we
are
in
February
right
now.
So
it's
going
to
end
sometime
in
mid-march
and
then
we're
gonna.
We
probably
take
two
weeks
off
and
we'll
start
the
next
course
theoretically,
beginning
of
April
I'll
say
we
do
take
a
brief
break
in
the
summertime.
J
D
B
J
Yes,
absolutely
yeah,
and-
and
so
it's
not
I
can't
say
that
we're
going
to
focus
all
of
the
money
specifically
on
on
Binghamton
residents.
Only
but
ultimately
the
goal
is
to
get
so
we
might
be
working
with
somebody
from
the
Town
of
Union,
but
if
they're
going
to
move
from
the
Town
of
Union
into
the
city
of
Binghamton,
that's
a
good
thing
from
our
perspective.
So
that's
that
that's
where
we're!
What
we're
trying
to
do?
Okay,.
L
It's
been
a
successful
program
in
the
last
couple
of
years.
We've
had
some
problems
with
covid
some
other
issues,
but
we're
still
doing
home
repairs
and
we
think
it's
much
needed
service
in
the
community.
We
set
up
the
program
years
ago
to
assist
seniors
to
continue
living
in
their
own
homes,
recognizing
that
there
are
a
lot
of
seniors
out
there
with
very
limited
incomes,
and
it
can
be
quite
expensive
trying
to
maintain
your
house
in
the
past,
we've
gone
out
and
we've
done
a
very
small
repairs.
L
L
L
We
just
you
know
we
didn't
have
a
Mason,
we
didn't
have
anybody
that
could
do
that
type
of
work
and
it
you
know
it
turns
out.
There
are
a
lot
of
people.
If
there
were
wood
stairs,
we
could
rebuild
the
stairs,
not
a
problem,
but
if
there
were
break
or
stone
or
concrete,
it
was
a
little
more
problematic.
With
additional
money
that
we
received
from
the
city,
we
could
hire
a
mason
or
a
contract
with
an
employee
to
Mason
to.
J
L
And
you
know
replace,
replace
and
rebuild
those
stairs,
and
that
was
an
excellent
I
mean
there's
other
types
of
things
we
can
use
that
money,
for
it
enables
us
to
do
repairs
up
to
five
thousand
dollars
using
contractors.
So
there's
a
combination
of
activities.
You
know
the
small,
very
small
repairs
that
our
crews
will
do.
The
bigger
repairs
might
require
more
skilled.
You.
J
L
L
We've
got
some
money
where,
if
they
have
extreme
need,
we
could
actually
hire
a
plumber
to
go
out
and
put
the
hot
water
tank
in
for
them,
and
that's
great
now,
in
addition
to
the
home
repair
program,
we're
talking
about
it's
sort
of
an
entry
into
our
system,
so
to
speak,
because
we
do
get
additional
grants
from
the
state
of
New
York.
In
fact,
in
the
last
couple
of
months,
we
received
a
restore
Grant,
which
is
repairs,
emergency
repairs
for
senior
citizens.
L
The
difference
with
that
is.
It
enables
us
to
go
up
to
twenty
thousand
dollars,
which
is
a
good
chunk
of
change
and
was
just
raised
by
the
state
from
10
to
20.
and
I.
Think
part
of
the
thinking
might
have
been.
They
went
to
20.
You
could
continue
to
do
roofs
back
in
the
old
days.
You
could
do
a
roof
for
10.
You
know,
but
that's
very
unlikely
today,
but
anyways
we
received
a
restore
Grant.
L
L
We
received
a
third
grant
for
General
Renovations
from
the
New
York
State
home
program,
but
anyways
the
money
we
get
from
the
city
for
our
home
repair
service.
That's
for
some
seniors,
that's
sort
of
their
entry.
If
we
get
out
there
and
they
call
us
for
home
repair-
and
we
can't
do
it,
then,
with
that
program
we
can
refer
them
to
restore
or
access
one
of
these
other
programs
and
help
them
to
get
the
assistance
they
need.
So
I
mean
you
know.
Overall,
the
need
for
repairs
and
assistance
for
seniors
is
still
there.
G
G
L
L
L
N
L
L
L
Yeah,
well,
he
actually
at
a
winter,
for
whatever
reason,
especially
to
Christmas
season,
it
slows
down.
I
mean
it
really
does
for
whatever
reason,
and
then
it
starts
going
like
gangbusters
again
in
the
spring
as
we
get
closer
to
Spring.
So
the
waiting
list
right
now
is
not
too
long.
On
the
other
hand,
we've
been
getting
a
lot
of
calls,
repairs
that
are
bigger
than
what
our
crews
can
do,
so
we
have
to
bump
them
into
the
other
programs.
B
L
Feasibility
issues,
in
some
cases
you
know
some
things
are
just
not
possible,
I
mean
the
the
other
thing.
Is
you
don't
run
into
it
so
much
in
the
city
of
Binghamton,
but
we
do
work
elsewhere
and
occasionally
you
run
into
a
house
that
is
in
such
a
terrible
condition
that
the
amount
of
work
that
it
needs
exceeds
the
value
of
the
house.
You
know
that's
not
necessarily
a
good
investment
on
the
part
of
us
or
whoever
is
providing
the
funding.
So
in
situations
like
that,
you
could
end
up
determining
it
is
not
feasible.
L
L
L
L
Sure
it
does,
because
you
know
when
we
apply
for
the
state
money
we
list
money
that
we're
getting
from
the
city
of
Binghamton
for
the
horn
repairs.
So
you
know
it
shows
that
you
know.
We've
we've
got
funding
from
other
sources
and
you
know
that
we're
we're
not
just
first
timers
when
it
comes
to
doing
this
type
of
activity.
C
L
We,
if
somebody
calls
with
an
emergency-
hopefully
we
can
respond
a
little
more
quickly,
but
with
a
new
level
of
oversight
because
of
Hud.
We
can't
respond
until
we
have
approval
from
the
city
of
Binghamton,
so
that
at
best
is
going
to
take
two
or
three
days
so
I
mean
if
somebody
has
a
leaking
hot
water
tank.
That
could
be
a
problem,
but
the
intent.
You
know
if
somebody
has
something-
that's
really
urgent,
a
really
dangerous
to
somehow
get
out
there
as
soon
as
we
can.
B
C
B
F
A
O
O
O
B
A
O
F
D
N
A
A
F
Q
So,
for
those
that
are
new
to
the
board
and
for
the
audience
so
cares
is
a
Grassroots
organization
that
was
founded
by
community
members
to
figure
out
a
way
to
how
to
help
parents
navigate
the
you
know
the
issues
that
they
were
having
who
live
in
the
city
within
the
city
of
Binghamton,
School
District.
So
care
stands
for
Community
Advocates,
restoring
educational
standards,
and
so
our
backpack
giveaway
is
something
that
we've
been
doing
since
about
2016..
Q
And
then,
since
2017,
up
until
last
year,
we've
been
been
blessed
to
be
partners
with
the
city
to
provide
funding
to
get
the
backpacks
and
the
supplies
that
we
give
up
to
a
thousand
families
throughout
every
summer.
That
we've
been
doing
this,
and
so
it
has
been
a
benefit
we
feel
like
for
the
community
in
order
to
do
that,
because
as
many
who
know
who
have
students
within
school,
school
supplies
aren't
cheap
and
it
can
be
a
very
hard
burden
for
a
lot
of
families
who
can't
afford.
D
I,
don't
I
don't
have
a
question,
but
I
just
want
to
say
that
we,
you
did
the
backpack
thing
at
the
normal
Community,
Center
yeah
and
it
was
really
well
received.
Everybody
was
so
happy
and
I'm
glad
that
you
guys
do
it.
Even
today
somebody
came
and
needed
a
backpack
like
it
seems
like
something
simple,
but
it's
really
not,
especially
when
kids
have
to
carry
stuff
around.
So
thank
you
for
the
program
so.
Q
It
is
yes,
so
we
so
in
addition
to
the
backpack,
we
actually
Supply
school
supplies
as
well,
so
we
buy
pins,
pencils,
notebook
composition,
notebook
spiral,
notebooks,
highlighters
markers,
so
even
the
smallest
things
that
you
may
think
that
a
student
use
in
their
day-to-day
school
supplies.
We
try
to
provide
that
input,
those
in
the
backpack,
so
we
set
them
together
before
we
distribute
them.
So
that
way,
it's
already
set
for
a
student
ready
to
go
on
their
first
day
of
school.
Q
Q
Q
So
the
first
couple
of
years
we
were
utilizing
Dr
Yu's
office,
which
is
at
the
downtown
Center
and
at
her
house
and
her
house
as
well,
and
we
had
a
actual
get
together
of
our
parent
mentors.
Who
we
worth
cares
and
we
just
kind
of
set
up
a
bunch
of
tables
in
the
backyard
and
set
up
an
assembly
line
and
just
put
all
the
bags
together.
Q
I
C
Q
Q
Yeah,
so
for
this
year
we
are
it's
a
total
of
15
000
that
we're
asking
for,
and
that
includes
the
backpacks
and
the
individual
school
supplies
home.
So
we
initially
started
off
a
few
years
ago
of
doing
about
550
trying.
Then
we
increased
it
to
750
once
we
start
to
be
able
to
partner
with
the
Citibank
exam,
but
the
past
couple
of
years
we've
been
doing
a
thousand
families
and
we've
there's
been
no
backpacks
left
over
every
year.
Q
That
we've
done
this
people,
and
you
know,
as
brand
news
mentioned,
will
come
up
and
ask
you
know:
are
there
still
any
backpacks
left
over?
And
so
because
we
do
this,
we
try
to
do
it
multiple
days
throughout
the
summer,
just
to
accommodate
family
schedules,
and
so
we
make
sure
that
we
go
to
different
Community
neighborhoods
in
the
city.
To
so
that
way
we
can
meet
the
families
where
they
are
and
it
is
always
jam-packed,
regardless
of
whatever
spot
we
have
gone
to
during
2020.
Q
And
again
it
was
just
you
know
in
the
meant,
though
we
were,
you,
know,
kind
of
out
of
the
wait
with
the
pandemic.
People
still
came
out
in
large
droves
to
get
backpacks
just
because
you
know
there
was
so
many
unknowns,
especially
for
families
during
that
year,
who
might
have
lost
a
job.
You
know
just
getting
to
get
that
backpack
was
a
great
benefit
to
them.
A
C
F
Questions-
oh
sorry,
just
me,
I
just
want
to
give
you
my
card
because
I'd
like
to
partner
with
you
guys,
I'm
the
general
manager
for
the
greater
good
grocery
store
on
the
north
side
of
Binghamton,
so
I'd
like
to
partner
with
you
guys
and
kind
of
help
out,
because
we
I
have
something
planned
for
around
that
time.
So
I'd
like
to
give
you
my
card
just
so
that
way,
I
could
kind
of
work
with
it.
It
happened.
P
P
P
They
they
don't
really
jump,
that's
good
just
because
we
try
to
do
them
all
I
mean
last
year
we
tried
to
do
them
pretty
quickly.
You
know
so.
People
are
not
generally
jumping
and
we're
a
small
group,
so
we're
Banning
these
tables
again
again,
so
most
of
us
are
sitting
at
multiple
sites,
so
yeah
that
that
that's
been
brought
up
to
us
before
I
haven't
seen
that
to
be
a
problem.
P
P
They
do
them
in
Vestal.
They
do
in
other
places.
Also
it's
just
that
people
might
not
be
able
to
get
there,
but
75
was
a
lot
yeah.
That's
a
lot
of
people
that
that
we
had
to
turn
away,
and
then
we
even
had
the
city
reach
out
to
us,
because
people
reached
out
to
the
city
asking
for
backpacks
and
we
had
none.
B
B
P
Assumptions
around
income,
most
of
people
that
come
are
living
in
the
city
of
Binghamton,
okay,
they're,
coming
with
multiple
kids,
because
you
need
to
burn
your
children.
Okay
and
yeah
people
don't
show
up,
I
mean
these
are
good
backpacks
all
right.
But
if
you
have
money,
these
are
not
great
backpacks.
These
are
not
the
backpacks
you
buy.
If
you
have
a
lot
of
money,
you
know,
and
these
supplies
are,
are
good.
I
mean
they're,
really
good
supplies
for
I,
don't
think
people
that
are
coming
there
and
taking
advantage
of.
B
P
P
N
P
B
P
P
P
P
P
A
P
It's
a
virtual
tutorial
program
that
we
started
last
spring.
We
got
funding
to
start
this
program
last
spring.
We
realized
that
because
of
the
because
of
covert,
but
even
prior
to
covert,
there
was
a
just.
There
was
a
disproportional
difference
in
the
terms
of
how
the
children
of
color
were
doing
in
reading
and
math
in
the
city,
schools
and
so
covet
just
exasperated
that
problem,
not
just
here
but
across
the
country.
So
we
were
doing
a.
P
P
We
have
a
couple
of
social
workers
on
our
board,
who
donate
their
time.
If
there's
a
need,
the
family
has
a
need
that
we
can
address
or
we
can
help
them
get
some
problems.
We
offer
them
an
opportunity
to
speak
with
one
of
the
social
workers
you
know,
and
they
donate
time
to
speak
to
them.
If
the
kid,
if
the
the
student
has
some
problems
that
they
want
to
address,
we
offer
them
an
opportunity
to
speak
with
the
social
worker
and
it's
not
just
once
in
a
continual
basis.
P
So
we
were
able
to
service
30
students
with
15
tutors,
each
tutor
tutor
two
students,
and
we
did
this
last
spring
and
we
were
able
to
move
students
from
failing
to
passing.
We
took,
we
took
students
who
were
slated
to
go
to
summer
school
who
did
not
have
to
go
to
summer
school
and
we
had
a
student
who
was
going
to
fail
their
grade,
who
did
not
fill
their
grade,
so
we
had
30
students
and
they
all
went
to
the
25
weeks
that
we
had
funding
for
and
they
were
able
to.
P
P
We
get
our
students
by
partnering
with
the
schools
and
the
guidance
counselors
who
identify
students
who
are
in
trouble
and
they
feed
them
to
us,
and
so
we
work
with
the
guidance
counselors
to
kind
of
like
new
students.
We
can't
catch
them,
get
them
back
into.
You
know,
get
them
back
to
the
two
to
make
sure
that
they
are
continually
connected
with
us.
So
we
get
a
lot
of
help
from
the
schools
and
that
support.
P
We
got
funding
again
for
this
program
for
this
spring
from
the
the
Broome
County
Youth
Bureau.
So
we're
doing
it
again,
but
again
we
have
funding
only
to
support
30
students
and
15
tutors.
All
the
funding
goes
to
the
the
tutors
and
we
have
an
incentive
program
for
the
students
that
they
make
it
through
all
the
weeks.
Then
they
get
a
stipend
at
the
end
for
for
making
it
to
all
the
weeks.
B
P
Asking
for
44
000
only
seconds
rescue,
43
200,
because
we
would
we
would
like
to
double
our
program.
We
would
like
to
service
60
students
and
hire
30
tutors,
so
the
funding
would
go
to
the
the
tutors
and
then
incentive
to
the
students,
and
we
also
because
we
require
an
adult
be
with
the
student
during
the
tutorial.
We
try
to
either
give
them
money
to
purchase
a
pizza
or
we
buy
pizza
for
them.
B
P
Addictive
I
mean
it's
a
tremendous
need.
You
know
our
students
are
not
doing
well,
and
it's
not
just
here.
You
know
I
think
people
are
still
trying
to
catch
up
from
covert.
You
know
the
the
students
of
color
that
that
we
target,
but
don't
work
up
exclusively.
We
will
work
with
any
student
that
applies
to
the
program,
but
the
students
of
color
were
already
behind
before
covet
hit.
A
P
They're
just
they're
further
behind
you
know,
so
it's
a
tremendous
need
yeah,
but
there's
lots
of
research
that
shows
that
these
you
know
online
tutorials,
work
and
they've
been
really
successful.
I
had
my
granddaughter
in
an
online
tutorial,
she's
a
seven
she's,
seven
years
old
and
she
fell
behind
in
Reading.
B
S
My
name
is
Sarah
gloss,
I'm,
the
executive
director
of
the
Binghamton
local
Development,
Corporation
I'm,
also
a
teacher
at
the
University,
and
this
is
my
class.
Thank
you
very
much
for
having
them
here
by
virtue
of
my
position
as
the
Director
of
economic
development
for
the
city
of
Binghamton.
Could.
B
S
By
virtue
of
my
position
as
exec
or
as
director
of
economic
development
for
the
city
of
Binghamton,
I
serve
as
the
executive
director
of
the
Binghamton
local
Development
Corporation,
both
organizations
a
lot
of
the
work
overlaps,
but
the
cdbg
funds
that
we
receive
from
the
city
on
both
those
activities.
So,
overall
our
work
falls
into
three
buckets.
The
primary
is
business
assistance.
We
support
businesses
across
the
city
of
Binghamton,
with
our
community
development
block
grant
allocation.
S
We
focus
on
those
census,
tracts
both
entrepreneurs
and
businesses
located
in
census,
tracts
that
meet
rcdbg
requirement.
So,
even
though
we
support
businesses
and
entrepreneurs
across
the
city,
the
funds
from
rcdbg
allocation
support,
specifically
those
census
tracts
that
are
most
impacted
by
poverty.
So
business
assistance
can
look
a
lot
of
different
ways.
Our
primary
method
of
support
is
financial,
so
we
have
revolving
loan
funds
available
through
the
bldc
that
we
provide
to
businesses
across
the
city.
S
We
also
support
them
through
a
variety
of
just
informational
activities:
relocation,
Services,
Business,
Services,
triaging
them
out
to
other
services
in
the
community
that
might
better
suit
them,
depending
on
where
they
are
in
their
entrepreneurial
business.
Journey.
We
help
troubleshoot
when
they
have
issues
through
our
permitting
process
or
any
other
processes
at
the
city
of
Binghamton.
S
We
code
all
of
our
time
to
different
activities
and
then
track
it
against
our
cdbg
allocations
and
Steve
might
be
able
to
jump
in
on
some
of
the
specific
numbers
for
questions.
But
we
do
a
lot
of
stuff,
so
I'm
curious
to
know
what
you
guys
are
most
interested
in
hearing
about
so
I'll
take
any
questions.
S
B
D
S
D
So
just
it's
just
I
walk
past
those
two
things
and
it
it
looks
kind
of
sad
that
they're,
really
nice
properties.
It
looks
like
they're
very
well
done,
but
they're
empty.
Do
you
guys?
Do
you
guys
like
so?
Do
you
when
you
plan
to
repair
or
whatever
do
you
plan
a
business
for
it
or
is
it
just
you're
just
spending
money
to
make
it
look
nice
and
then
there's
nothing
in
there
yeah.
S
That's
a
great
question
so
for
those
two
particular
properties,
my
understanding
is
they're
owned
by
the
same
property
owner
the
New
York
State
Main
Street
funding
is
a
funding
stream
through
New
York
State,
the
Department
of
State,
where
it
primarily
focuses
on
facade
renovation.
So
it
is
a
little
bit
of
aesthetic
work,
that's
being
done.
The
goal
of
the
program
is
to
increase
the
stability
and
Aesthetics
of
the
building,
so
that
a
business
can
be
successful.
In
that
we
have
been
in
communication
with
the
property
owner
about
his
plans.
S
We
are
slowly
but
surely
trying
to
advance
those
conversations.
We
have
the
same
concerns
that
you
do
lots
of.
State
money
went
into
those
properties,
they
look
beautiful,
but
they
are
empty.
So
that
is
something
that
we
are
actively
working
on
with
the
property
owner.
We
don't
have
a
resolution
at
this
time,
but
we
are
hoping
that
over
the
next
year,
we
can
continue
to
work
with
him
to
put
viable
businesses
in
those
locations.
B
B
S
S
S
B
S
A
M
B
140,
so
it's
on
the
back,
it's
on
the
basket,
and
it's
really
something
that
the
maker
decided
to
me
and
so
let
the
record
show
that
Deb
Hogan
had
joined
us
previously
before
some
of
our
presentations
and
right
now
we
will
entertain
the
approval
of
the
minutes.
Does
anybody
have
any
comments
on?
Yes,
your
name
was
not
smelled
right
again.
A
A
F
B
R
Okay,
so
those
of
you
aren't
aware
what
we
have
hired
a
consultant
to
do
the
home
ARP
plan,
that's
sort
of
running
coterminous
with
this
body,
a
survey
just
went
up
to
that
or
a
link
to
a
survey
just
went
in
the
paper.
I'll.
Send
you
guys
I
forgot
to
do
that
earlier.
Send
you
guys
a
link
to
the
survey
and
I'll,
send
it
to
the
Community
Development
listserve
as
well,
we'll
have
a
Spanish
version
here
in
a
day
or
so,
and
I'll
post
it
on
the
city
website.
R
So
that's
sort
of
going
on
then
now
at
some
point
the
company,
Chrysalis
and
Mr
Jason
right
out
of
Atlanta,
will
be
presenting
to
this
body
because
in
theory,
yes,
you
need
to
kind
of
get
his
budget
and
then
okay
it
and
then
it
goes
on
to
the
mayor's
office
to
okay,
it
and
then
so.
There's
like
we're
extremely
tight.
R
So
although
modifications
can
be
made,
it's
kind
of
really
encouraged
to
kind
of
go
with
what
he's
going
he's
going
to
put
forward,
because
that's
going
to
be
based
off
of
surveys,
public
feedback
and
all
the
other
stuff.
So
we
should
be
having
a
public
hearing
I
think,
maybe
your
guy's
public
hearing
and
the
public
hearing
for
this
will
be
done.
At
the
same
time,
I'll
have
to
double
check
that.
R
We
can
do
we
can
do
public
hearing
two
public
hearings
at
the
same
same
day,
yeah,
okay,
so
but
currently
other
than
that.
The
next
step
we're
going
to
have
the
stakeholder
meeting
on
the
eight.
That's
the
non-applicant
stakeholders
groups,
like
the
one
of
the
local
veterans
groups,
I
invited
DSS
rise.
Basically,
new
agency
who's
not
applying
for
money
but
can
represent
a
solid
body
of
groups
that
may
be
impacted
or
affected
office
for
aging
is
another
one.
R
So
but
it's
any
agency
that
has
not
applied
for
fun
and
is
not
seeking
funds,
because
then
you're
gonna
at
least
get
hopefully
an
unbiased
perspective
on
someone
who's
not
trying
to
you
know
not
not
a
detriment
to
people
requesting
funding,
but
every
Everybody.
Every
agency
requesting
funding
is
always
going
to
make
it
that
their
group
is
the
most
in
need
of
funding,
and
but
that's
what
they
are.
R
R
The
next
two
meetings
on
the
fourth
and
the
fifth
and
the
19th
of
April,
those
are
the
fun
ones.
That
is
the
those
are
the
budget
meetings.
Now
we
normally
have
two
of
them,
but
sometimes
it
can
be
done
in
one
I
will
get
pizza,
and
so
let
me
know
if
you
have
any
preferences
for
your
pizza
and
we
will
basically
have
a
few
hours
of
yelling
and
screaming
at
each
other,
and
it's
a
good
time.
It's
a
good
time.
We.
R
B
R
That's
it
it's
that
tiny,
tiny
pie
that
you
guys
are
left
with
divvying
it
up
and
everybody's
going
to
have
those
agencies.
You,
like
more,
like
you,
know
like
more
than
others
and
you're
gonna
fight
for
them
and
I'm
gonna.
Tell
you
this.
That's
what
you
should
do.
Absolutely
whatever
agencies
that
you
like.
You
should
fight
for
your
agencies,
you
like,
because
you
represent
members
of
the
community.
You
are
representing
their
interests
here.
R
So
if
you
feel
like
your
community
is
not
being
the
certain
members
of
your
community
not
being
served,
and
we
need
additional
funding
for
service
agencies
to
affect
that
that
group,
then
you
need
to
fight
for
it,
so
I
mean
don't
don't
feel,
don't
feel
ashamed
of
it.
But
you
know
you
guys
have
to
compromise
too,
because
this
budget
requires
at
least
seven
years.
It
is
not
a
simple
majority.
You
have
to
have
at
least
seven
members
say:
yes,
I
approve
this
budget.
So
that's
going
to
be
those
two
meetings.
K
R
R
The
the
I'm
trying
to
like
brainstorm
what
I
did
it
was
housing
and
poverty
would
be
DSS.
Disabled
I
hate
to
use
that
term,
but
the
disability
access
would
be
stick
I,
think
I'm,
trying
to
remember
if
I
invited
staff
or
not
for
lgbtq,
maybe
it
didn't.
Maybe
I
need
to
check
that
one
veterans
group,
one
of
the
local
veterans
groups
and
rise
for
domestic
violence
and
office
for
Aging
for
seniors.
R
So
those
seem
to
be
like
if
you
kind
of
like
looked
at
that
that
you're
gonna
sort
of
umbrella
and
pretty
much
everyone
that
might
fall
outside
the
sort
of
normal
I
hate
to
say
the
word
normal
but
fall
outside
of
the
of
being
represented.
It
so
I
think
by
including
all
of
them
we
would
get.
We
will
get
everybody,
including
all
the
agencies
that
applied
so,
but
yes,
I
definitely
did
a
thing
and
they
sent
me
something
which
was
not
technically
what
I
had
asked
for.
But
it
was
something
else.
R
I
gotta
review
that,
but
it
was
this
morning
and
I
didn't
have
a
chance
to
look
at
it
yet,
but
that's
going
to
be
yeah,
that's
gonna!
Be
on
the
8th
so
going
back
to
the
budget.
I'll
have
the
Excel
spreadsheet
we'll
have
it
posted
up
here?
It's
a
pretty
simple
one.
We
changed
it
last
year
or
last
two
years
years,
I
can't
remember
and
I
think
it
worked
out
better
where
we
had
the
the
separate
sheets
for
your
service
agencies.
So.
F
N
R
Easily
tell
who
you
were
dealing
with
and
the
separate
sheet
for
the
capital
projects
you
could
tell
who
was
getting
one
so
because
it's
no
longer
we're
going
to
give
two
hundred
thousand
dollars
to
streets.
It's
we're
going
to
give
200
000
to
streets,
to
do
these
specific
streets
same
thing
with
Parks
project,
so
you're
going
to
be
very
specific.
Now
these
things
can
change
over
the
course
of
the
Year
depending,
but
that's
just
the
way
nature.
This
is
the
way
you
know
it
rolls.
R
We
try
to
stick
with
the
the
the
road
projects
but
and
the
parks
projects,
but
things
can
happen
at
the
last
minute
and
that's
unfortunate
but
yeah.
That's
where
we're
at
with
that
and
then
after
the
19th
once
well
I
mean
the
budget
could
be
approved
by
the
fifth,
but
assuming
it
takes
two,
then
the
chair
will
need
to
present
to
City
Council
in
the
mayor's
office.
Your
recommendations
so
make
sure,
as
you
guys
are
working
on
the
budget.
R
The
reasons
and
the
specificities
of
why
you're
wanting
to
fund
agency
a
for
x
amount
is
passed
on
to
her.
She
needs
to
know
she
needs
to
know
why,
because
the
city
council
asks,
why
are
you?
Why
are
you
recommending
only
funding
this
group
this
amount?
She
knows
once
that's
done,
you
guys
are
pretty
much
done.
You
get
the
summer
break,
have
fun
and
then
we'll
meet
back
again
in
the
fall.
R
I
say
this
every
year,
but
I
really
need
to
stick
to
it.
This
year,
I
will
be
doing
on-site
monitoring
visits
in
the
summer.
I
will,
let
you
guys
know
I
somehow
they
keep
slipping
away
from
me
and
Hud's
getting
mad
at
me.
So
I
gotta
stop
doing
that,
but
other
than
that
I
think
that's
more
of
everything.
I
mean
the
mayor's
office
will
still
have
to
approve.
They'll
still
have
to
make
a
budget.
Oh
mayor's
office
numbers,
so
I
removed,
I
was
usually
going
to
have
the
mayor's
office.
R
Do
a
presentation,
but
the
meeting
was
getting
kind
of
long
and
I'm
glad
we
excluded
them.
They
will
give
me
numbers
and
I
will
pass
them
on
to
you.
So
once
I
have
those
numbers,
I
will
let
you
know
if
you
have
any
issues
about
anything,
you
can
obviously,
of
course,
contact
the
mayor's
office
contact,
Megan
and
communicate.
R
If
you,
if
you
feel
any
of
those
numbers,
are
unreasonable,
but
the
mayor's
prerogative
is
that
they
eat
he
can
choose,
and
the
mayor's
office
can
choose
specific
numbers
to
fund
I
mean
that's
that's
kind
of
their
that's
his
job,
so
just
be
aware
of
that,
but
he
does
I
do
know
that
they
are
aware
that
you
value
your.
He
values
your
input
and
he
wants
you
to
know.
You
know
that
that
he
values
your
input
so
and
I
think
letting
having
him
present
number
numbers
to
you
ahead
of
time.
R
Sort
of
gets
gets
over
some
of
those
things
so
you're,
not
just
you
know
we're
going
to
fund
these
agencies
agencies
so
once
he
tells
you
no
we're
going
to
fund
this
for
this,
and
this
for
that.
This
is
for
that.
Once
you
have
those
numbers,
then
you
can
work
around
with.
What's
you
know
the
remainder
and
understand?
Also,
you
can
understand
what
agencies
or
programs
or
whatever
may
not
be
not
be,
not
be
included
in
the
mayor's
planned
approvals,
and
you
guys
can
focus
on
those
as
well.
B
And
last
year
we
did
take
him
our
concerns
about
funding
issues
and
he
listened
to
us
and
changed
and
went
with
what
we
had
recommended.
So
that
was
pretty
cool
first
time
that
that
ever
happened
so
so
Steve.
Just
to
clarify
the
Chrysalis
thing.
Is
that
the
next
meeting,
which
is
two
weeks
from
now,
which
would
be.
B
R
I
will
say
this
if
the
home
ARP
issue
requires
us
to
have
an
emergency
meeting
I'll,
let
you
know,
hopefully
it
will
not
I'm
hoping
we're
going
to
be
able
to
work
within
the
time
frame,
but
we
have
to
have
a
plan
to
HUD
by
the
end
of
March.
So
it's
a
it's
a
it's
a
very
tight
constraint
on
this.
Okay.
