H
K
A
The
goal
and
the
objective
of
the
presentations
this
afternoon
is
to
get
a
current
status,
the
stuff
addictions,
including
hotel
and
motel
tenants,
as
well
as
get
a
report
from
Mecklenburg
County
in
terms
of
Little
Theatre,
doing,
as
relates
to
the
coab
at
19
and
on
this
population.
As
I
said
earlier,
we
have
four
outstanding
presenters
today,
we're
going
to
adjust
the
order
just
a
little
bit
in
ex-miss
to
complement
with
Mecklenburg
County
would
make
this
presentation
first
and
they
will
follow
with
Daniel
and
Josh
best
following
him.
L
All
right
good
afternoon,
everyone
and
thank
you
for
inviting
me
Sharon.
For
me,
it's
known
what
the
county
is
doing
to
start
the
homeless
story
called
the
19
next
slide
for
this
presentation.
I
will
review
the
magnitude
of
problem
in
our
community
and
the
service
assistant
funding.
The
county
provides
provided
towards
this
issue
before
Kovan
19,
our
initial
and
ongoing
efforts
during
the
outbreak
of
Cova
19
to
help
the
homeless
of
our
community
and
our
work
to
assess
additional
people
who
are
homeless
and
at
a
higher
risk
of
:
19
next
slide.
L
The
next
one
to
know,
as
everyone
is
well
aware,
homelessness
was
a
significant
social
problem
prior
to
Cova
19.
We
have
a
couple
of
ways
we
attempt
to
understand
the
severity
of
this
complex
issue
in
our
community.
We
lead
the
annual
point
in
time
count
survey
when
a
team
of
homeless
service
providers
and
volunteers
come
together,
one
night
in
January
and
survey
the
number
of
people
experiencing
shelter
or
unsheltered
homelessness.
The
results
from
the
2020
survey
will
will
be
released.
L
This
fall,
but
the
2019
point
in
time
count
resulted
in
1742
people
being
counted
as
homeless.
We
also
attempt
to
understand
homelessness
where
the
one
number
which
is
highlighted
on
the
slide.
This
is
our
best
estimate
of
the
total
number
of
single
adults,
youth
veterans,
the
chronically
homeless
and
families
who
are
homeless
in
the
community.
As
of
March
31st
2020.
This
number
is
three
thousand
six
hundred
and
eighty
three
and
not
everyone
included.
This
number
is
on
the
streets
or
on
or
on
shelter.
Many
are
in
shelters
and
some
are
in
transitional
house.
L
The
goal
of
the
homeless
services
system
is
to
help
individuals
exit
from
homelessness
to
permanent
housing
and
then
to
sustain
down
housing
in
FY
18
over
2,100
individuals
successfully
exited
to
permanent
housing.
However,
it's
worth
noting
that,
despite
the
number
of
people
moving
into
permanent
housing,
there
contains
to
be
a
steady
inflow
of
people
entering
homelessness
in
community.
L
We
offer
direct
services
for
the
homeless
or
those
at
risk
of
becoming
homeless
through
our
departments
of
Community,
Support,
Services
and
criminal
justice
services.
People
we
serve
are
many
different
backgrounds
and
at
various
points
along
the
housing
and
homelessness
cure
continuum
that
includes
people
at
risk
of
becoming
homeless,
children
and
families.
The
chronically
homeless,
individuals
of
mental
health
and
substance
use
conditions
and
people
reentering
our
community
from
the
criminal
justice
system.
L
Enough
a
review
of
the
key
county
programs
that
served
the
homeless.
We
operate
coordinated
injury,
a
process
that
aims
to
divert
people
from
becoming
homeless
or
connect
them
of
shelter
or
housing.
This
is
a
portal
of
entry
for
homeless
services
in
the
community
residents
in
need
of
shelter
or
housing
assistance
shift
first
call
United
Way
is
to
101
Health
and
Human
Services
hotline
and
will
then
be
referred
for
coordinated
entry.
If
appropriate,
we
have
coordinated
entry
staff
and
located
at
urban
ministry
center
men's
shelter
and
Salvation
Army
5156
in
person.
L
Coordinated
entry
assessments
were
completed
during
the
FY
19
and
an
average
of
$400
per
month.
We
have
10
County,
Social
Work
staff
and
two
clinical
supervisors
that
work
at
permanent
supportive
housing
programs
operated
by
the
urban
ministry
center
men's
shelter
for
people
who
were
once
chronically
homeless.
These
programs
serve
approximately
200
individuals,
criminal
justice
services,
housing
assistance
for
re-entry
program
provides
housing.
People
return
to
our
community
after
a
period
of
incarceration.
L
Most
clients
remain
in
the
program
between
7
and
12
months,
along
with
housing.
The
program's
case
managers
assist
with
connecting
clients
to
food
clothing,
health
care
resources,
as
well
as
education
and
employment.
The
program
has
served
ninety-one
individuals
so
far
and
fiscal
year
20
and
the
budget
for
this
effort
is
approximately
one
hundred
and
sixty
thousand
dollars.
We
also
manage
our
communities
continuum
of
care
governance
committee,
as
defined
by
HUD,
but
Awards
four
point:
seven
million
dollars
to
our
community
through
a
competitive,
collaborative
application,
concepts
earned
recipients
includes
both
the
county
and
nonprofit
agencies.
L
These
funds
support
the
county,
shelter
plus
care
program,
a
program
that
links
people
who
are
chronically
homeless
with
affordable
housing
and
supportive
services.
Shelter
plus
care
currently
serves
approximately
two
hundred
and
forty
household
community
nonprofits
currently
receiving.
These
funds
include
community
link,
urban
ministries,
urban
ministry,
centers,
men,
shelter,
Salvation,
Army
and
supportive
housing
communities.
These
funds
helped
them
provide
housing,
subsidy
for
permanent,
supportive
housing
and
rapid
rehousing
programs.
Next
slide,
we
also
fund
additional
services
provided
by
our
partner
agencies.
These
services
include
homeless,
diversion
emergency
shelter,
legal
advocacy,
housing,
placement
and
case
management.
L
The
partner
agency
we
fund
are
highlighted
on
this
slide
by
over
5.6
million
dollars
to
support
these
agencies.
Through
a
rental
subsidy
fund,
we
provided
an
additional
5.7
million
at
the
foundation
for
the
Carolinas
away
home
Housing
endowment
back
home.
The
program
provides
for
every
housing,
rental,
subsidy
and
supportive
services
to
families,
you've
individuals
and
who
are
homeless
and
earn
less
than
30%
ami,
so
far,
19
households,
a
total
of
57
people
and
moved
into
housing
through
the
MEC
home
program
which
kicked
off
in
February.
H
L
An
urban
ministry
center
for
link
housing,
a
program
designed
to
house
long-term
shelter
guests
at
the
men's
shelter.
Seven
people
have
moved
into
how
using
with
the
link
program
so
far,
so
between
our
county
programs
and
our
funding
for
nonprofit
agencies,
we
invested
over
twenty
million
dollars
in
homeless
related
services
during
FY
22,
Colvin
19
next
one
next
one
as
the
Cova
19
crisis
unfolded
in
our
community.
Mecklenburg
County
began
coordinating
weekly
a
weekly
call
with
community
providers
and
serve
the
homeless
to
ensure
a
comprehensive
response.
L
Our
discussion
centered
on
how
we
could
all
work
together
to
maximize
our
current
resources
to
help
the
homeless
during
call
the
19.
We
requested
that
the
agencies
prepare
a
continuity
of
operations
plan
and
identify
additional
activities
to
slow
the
spread
of
Kovach
such
as
hand-washing
education
and
ordering
additional
cleaning
supplies
next
lot.
L
Working
with
United
Way
nation
of
Carolina's
agency
of
Charlotte,
the
Board
of
Commissioners
helped
establish
the
:
19
response
plan.
In
the
wake
of
the
crisis,
over
16
million
dollars
has
been
raised
for
the
fund
so
far
with
donations
coming
from
many
businesses,
churches
and
individual
donors,
County
contributed
1.3
million
dollars
on
much
of
which
goes
to
homeless,
related
services.
L
Next
line
from
the
beginning
of
the
Cova,
no
break
men's
shelter,
Salvation,
Army
and
safe
clients
were
involved
in
US,
coordinate
our
sheltering
response
because
of
the
need
for
social
distancing,
men's
shelter
and
Salvation
Army
were
unable
to
offer
the
100
overflow
bids.
It
normally
provided
address.
This
reduction
in
community
shelter
capacity,
they've
been
working
and
closely
with
the
men,
Shelton
salvation
or
means
say
clients,
and
so
far
the
county
has
written
over
300
hotel
rooms
for
shelter
guests
to
be
able
to
practice
social
distancing
in
isolation
and
Quarantine.
L
This
help
make
the
shelters
in
their
guests
safer
by
reducing
overcrowding.
The
county
provides
food
and
laundry
services
at
the
hotels,
and
we
also
provide
security.
A
budget
amount
for
these
hotels
thus
far
is
approximately
1.4
million
dollars
and
will
continue
to
grow
as
the
crisis
continues.
This
is
in
addition
to
the
20
million
dollars
that
we
were
already
providing
when
a
shelter
gets
tested
positive
for
Cova
19.
L
This
will
create
additional
capacity
at
all
of
these
shelters
or
the
unsheltered
next
level,
Oh
March
16th,
nor
clemency.
Just
as
very
Beasley
issue.
The
court
ordered
Elaine
civil
court
proceedings,
including
evictions.
Another
order
alone
shares
to
delay
performing
fictions
on
previously
issued
fictional
works.
He
recently
extended
these
orders
to
June
1st
the
North
planning
attorney
general's
office,
issued
a
letter
to
almost
100
hotels
at
strawberries
to
all
divisions
in
accordance
with
judge
business
or
the
president
of
the
Greater
Charlotte
hospitality.
L
Tourism
Alliance
issued
a
statement
asking
his
group
members,
the
hall,
their
hotel
convictions
as
well,
and
the
county's
contract.
The
partnership
of
legal
aid
continues
to
be
a
resource
through
this
crisis.
Legal
alien
has
assisted
with
eviction
prevention
for
clients
at
a
hundred
different
hotels.
During
the
last
three
weeks
alone,
the
county
is
leading
an
effort
of
many
nonprofit
agencies
to
help
people
at
risk
of
hotel
evictions
as
well,
by
contact
connecting
them
with
funding
to
pay
their
hotel
bills
or
housing
related
calls.
L
Social
serve
is
partnering
with
the
county
on
this
project
to
administer
funds
from
the
Colvin
19
relief
fund
or
eligible
hotel
guests
in
the
county.
Social
Work
staff
will
also
assist
for
providing
access
to
other
available
community
resources.
No
Monday,
April
20th
I
was
contacted
by
a
task
force
member
councilman
Eagleson
about
the
Days
Inn
on
Woodlawn.
That
was
closing
now
that
next
day
were
14
families
remaining
at
the
hotel.
In
the
poem
Wabasha,
we
contacted
legal
aid
and
activate
a
coordinated
entry,
Social
Work
team
to
assess
the
hotel
guests.
L
Legal
aid
inform
the
hotel
that
they
would
file
and
have
the
car
water
to
back
on
the
corporate
office.
Address
the
problems
out
and
injunction
there's
still
uncertainty
about
what
will
happen
at
this
property,
but
the
County
continues
to
work
with
remaining
guests
to
offer
resources
as
available
and
appropriate.
L
The
ELC
has
representatives
from
both
atrium
in
Ohio.
They
continue
to
provide
medical
advice,
will
ensure
testing
protocols
are
in
place
for
the
sheltered
and
unsheltered
homeless.
Also
know,
Vaughn
has
obtaining
large
image
for
a
facemask.
They
are
developing
a
plan
to
distribute
these
to
our
shelter
partners.
For
both
the
shelter
guests
and
the
unsheltered
homeless,
next
one
we've
been
asked
to
provide
transportation
for
Pope,
19
or
homeless
and
vulnerable
residents
in
our
community,
who
are
asymptomatic
and
we're
working
with
our
current
transportation
vendors
and
provide
this
service
next
slide.
L
There's
also
work
been
done
to
assist
people
who
are
unsheltered
and
in
homeless
encampments
from
around
the
county.
Cdc
guidelines
for
the
unsheltered
homeless
include
not
clearing
encampments
during
Kovan
19,
because
this
increases
the
potential
for
spread
of
the
disease,
encouraging
people
staying
in
canvas
to
set
up
their
tents
or
sleeping
homers
at
least
12
feet
by
12
feet
of
distance.
The
toilets
or
hand-washing
facilities
are
unavailable,
nearby,
provide
access
to
poor,
Johnson's
and
washing
facilities
for
encampments.
L
L
We've
had
several
conference
calls
with
the
greater
Charlotte
Ryan's
IBC
group
to
discuss
our
concerns
regarding
the
unsheltered
population
shared
our
current
efforts
to
pathan
was
going
over
19.
Well,
their
initial
proposal
was
larger
than
the
copa90.
No
effort
was
focused
instead
on
responding
to
the
broader
unsheltered
issue
in
our
community.
L
We
are
collaborating
with
the
urban
ministry
center
men,
shelter
to
identify
policy
champions
in
need
of
porta-johns
and
hand-washing
stations
as
well.
11
locations
have
been
identified.
Two
of
these
locations
that
are
areas
frequented
under
the
homeless
will
have
to
porta-johns
urban
ministry
center
will
manage
these
facilities,
with
funding
provided
by
the
county
to
our
services
have
come
up
as
a
concern
as
well.
The
mobile
shower
van
is
no
longer
operating
in
our
community.
L
Magnifico
often
requested
an
additional
100
to
120
hotel
work
homes
for
people
who
are
unsheltered
and
living
with
one
of
the
CDC's
harvest.
Factors
for
severe
disease,
we're
now
working
with
urban
ministry
center
men
shelter.
To
finalize
our
approach
to
this
issue.
Current
plan
is
as
follows:
now
they
will
provide
a
70
room
hotel
well
that
will
be
staffed
24
hours
a
day
by
the
urban
ministry
center,
the
support
of
from
the
Salvation
Army
in
supportive
housing
communities.
L
L
So,
in
summary,
we've
continued
to
operate
our
homeless
services
programs
and
provide
significant
funding
into
our
partner
agencies
over
twenty
million
dollars
prior
to
call
the
19's
Cova
19
again
to
affect
our
community,
which
being
homeless
service
providers
to
ensure
the
most
comprehensive
response
possible,
and
we
have
weekly
calls
with
all
of
our
shell
departments,
we're
currently
operating
over
300
hotel
rooms
for
social
distancing
and
isolation
and
Quarantine
to
help
the
homeless.
We
all
we're
working
with
our
own
service
partners
to
finalize
an
approach
for
serving
the
homeless
or
a
higher
risk
of
open
18.
L
A
Anthony,
thank
you
very
much
for
that
presentation.
I
want
to
thank
you
and
the
Mecklenburg
Board
of
County
Commissioners
and
your
colleague
for
the
work
that
you
do
to
help
our
most
vulnerable
population,
which
is
to
homeless.
As
you
can
see
from
the
presentation,
Mecklenburg
County
takes
the
lead
and
serving
and
working
with
the
homeless
population
in
our
community,
but
simply
because
they
also
house
the
the
supportive
services
necessary
to
support
that
effort.
So
they
are
the
really
agency
government
organization.
That's
impacting
the
homelessness
issue
in
our
community.
A
Our
role
as
a
city
is
to
play
it
supportive
role
with
the
county.
Examples
of
that
supportive
role
would
be
one
example
of
this
happened.
Monday
we
did
approve
194
shelter
beds
for
the
the
men's
shelter
on
state,
so
a
venir
at
the
part
of
our
housing
trust
fund
allocation.
In
addition,
every
year
the
federal
emergency
grant
allocation
is
dedicated
to
helping
up
the
homelessness
issue
in
our
community
and,
as
Anthony
said
earlier,
City,
provided
that
I
find
a
420
beds
to
help
of
a
corporate
nineteen.
So
we
play
a
supportive
role.
A
I
did
not
see
that
that's
changing
in
the
short
and
long
term,
simply
because
of
the
supportive
service
issue
that
the
counting-house
under
their
jurisdiction,
so
I
think
that
kind
of
sets
the
table
for
us.
Regarding
the
homelessness
issue,
I'll
ask
the
first
question
and
task
force
members
be
mindful
there's
three
other
presentations
to
come,
so
this
be
mindful
of
that.
My
first
question
to
Anthony
is:
is
there
a
transition
plan
to
get
people
out
of
the
hotels
once
we
get
down
the
road
of
post-cold
at
19?
A
L
Have
not
finalized
the
transition
plan
because
we
were
looking
to
have
an
overall
transition
plan
based
on
the
governor's
horse
and
so
now
that
the
governor's
issued
a
phased
in
approach,
we're
developing
the
transition
plan.
Right
now,
we've
been
having
conversations
in
ownership
Delta
partners,
because
many
of
the
folks
said
have
gone
into
the
shelter's
I
mean
the
hotels
have
come
from
the
shelter's
to
allow
for
social,
distancing
and
there's
new
population
with
the
unsheltered.
We
are
finalized
in
that
plan
and
now,
with
the
urbanism.
A
B
Thank
you
as
not
so
much
questions
but
comments
of
what
I
would
like
to
see.
This
taskforce
tackle,
along
with
the
county
I,
think
we
need
an
action
plan
or
growing
tent
city
that
is,
is
situated
on
North,
College
Street,
behind
Urban
Ministries
I've,
you
recognized
that
homelessness
is,
is
an
issue
that
affects
every
county,
every
district,
in
our
County
and
in
our
city.
But
of
course
North
Los
College
is
the
centralized
location
and
we
need
to
deal
with
that.
B
L
Well
guess
we're
being
evicted
for
the
hotels
for
for
non-payment,
but
since
the
chief
justice
letter
Anora
came
out,
they
should
not
be
evicted
from
those
hotels,
but
legal
aid
is
taking.
L
L
I'm
not
sure
on
how
many
hotel
rooms
are
not
I
mean
I
do
know
that
our
legal
aid
team
is
accepting
a
ton
of
phone
calls
from
from
individuals,
and
we've
activated
our
coordinated
entry,
Social
Work
team
to
work
with
those
folks
in
the
hotel's
help
them
plan
for
a
transition
out
of
the
hotels
or
help
them
with
any
resources
that
they
need
under
in
this
this
period.
Okay,.
L
That's
that
stated,
the
:
19
fund
will
be
used
with
crisis
assistance
ministry
to
assist
those
individuals
that
lost
their
job
was
a
relief
to
Colvin
and
were
saving
those
motels,
and
they
would
help
those
individuals
paid
those
hotel
bills
that
was
before
chief
justice
Beasley's
order.
Oh
and
since
then
we
have
been
working
with
them.
Still:
we've
transitioned
from
crisis
assistance
ministry
to
social,
serve,
help
pay
some
of
those
hotel
bills,
but
also
we're
doing
more
than
just
paying
hotel
bills
using
our
Social
Work
team
to
help
them
plan
for
a
transition.
D
L
We're
working
with
the
hotel
guests,
we're
not
working
with
those
businesses
and
and,
as
I
stated
in
a
presentation,
we're
asking
yes
to
call
the
2-1-1
hotline
and
we'll
begin
to
plan
for
those
guests.
As
far
as
the
businesses
there's,
there's
not
a
statewide
plan
that
accompany
chief-justice
Beasley's
or
to
work
with
the
businesses.
Okay,.
D
L
D
A
C
M
A
B
I
do
I
do
one
of
the
the
issues
with
the
homeless
population
that
we're
trying
to
solve
right
now
from
a
city
perspective
is
the
cat's
situation.
We
have
a
number
of
homeless
individuals
that
are
writing
transportation
through
the
day
is,
but
one
of
the
issues
is
that
you
know
that
workers
and
everybody
on
it,
those
homeless
individuals
do
not
have
access
to
the
PPE
that
is
necessary
to
help
reduce
the
community
spread.
L
So
many
of
the
shelters
have
some
limited
PPE
now,
but
early
in
the
presentation,
it's
about
Nova
purchasing,
a
large
order
of
mass
I,
believe
they're
going
to
purchase
a
million
mass
and
they
plan
to
mass
the
entire
community
and
one
of
the
priority
populations.
If
are
the
homeless,
shelters
and
the
unsheltered,
so
they
shan't
see
contact
of
partners
to
give
them
those
masks
and
other
support
items.
I
would.
B
I
hear
that
I
would
like
light
love
to
see,
and
specifically
our
book,
the
blue
one
along
the
blue
line
and
on
our
catch
transportation.
If
we
can
focus
on
that,
because
it
is
our
healthy
frontline
workers
that
are
utilizing
that
and
we
have
to
obviously
keep
everybody
healthy,
but
as
we
reduce
the
literal
viral
effect
of
this
issue,
I
think
we
should
should
really
look
at
that.
Yes,.
A
You
Anthony
for
your
presentation
and
thank
you
for
the
work
that
Burke
County
is
doing.
Let
me
reiterate
one
more
time:
Mecklenburg
County
is
the
lead
agency
relating
to
homelessness
in
our
community.
Our
role
as
a
task
force
and
the
City
Council
is
to
be
in
a
supportive
position,
and
so
we
are
in
stand.
Ready
to
support
with
Mecklenburg
company
is
doing
to
eradicate
homelessness
in
our
community.
A
So
they
can
come
and
really
give
us
a
broker
perspective,
and
if
we
can
allow
the
speakers
to
speak
and
then
we
exile
questions
after
all,
three
have
made
their
presentation
because
again
they
will
all
be
along
the
same
lines
in
terms
of
questioning
when
we
have
questions
so
we'll
start
with
the
the
Attorney
General
special
deputy,
then
we'll
follow
the
judge
best
and
binge
of
judge.
Trott
welcome,
Daniel.
N
What
we
have
been,
what
I
included
in
that
packet
was
the
press
release
that
Attorney
General
Stein
issued
on
Friday
April
3rd
concerning
the
hotel
eviction
issue,
along
with
a
sample
of
the
letter
that
we
sent
out
to
many
hotels
in
Charlotte
on
that
day
by
mail
and
then
I've
also
included
two
follow-up
communications
that
we
sent
on
to
the
North
Carolina
restaurant
and
Lodging
Association,
based
on
questions
that
they
have
raised
concerning
our
original
letter.
So.
N
Of
background
to
why
we
sent
out
a
sort
of
high-level
overview
of
the
contents
of
those
letters
and
then
just
a
few
observations.
So
his
background
to
this,
it
came
to
our
attention,
both
through
contacts
from
legal
aid
in
Charlotte
and
from
contacts
from
United
Way
2-1-1
to
the
Department
of
Health
and
Human
Services
in
Raleigh.
That
had
become
a
significant
issue
on
hotel
evictions
shortly
after
the
the
stay-at-home
or
the
issue
and
the
letters
that
we
put
out
as
if
folks
would
have
closely
read
it.
N
N
It
has
been
the
law
since
the
Baker
V
blush
in
case
out
of
the
Court
of
Appeals
in
1991,
that
it
is
clear
that,
in
appropriate
circumstances,
the
North
Carolina
landlord-tenant
laws
apply
to
hotels
and
motels
and
as
aided
in
our
April
3rd
letter,
it
is
a
very
fact-intensive
in
in
resident
by
resident,
intensive
question
of
whether
people
have
established
and
are
using
their
hotels
as
primary
residences.
But
that
has
been
the
law
since
1991
now
and
as
as
mr.
N
Trautman
sort
of
explained,
the
sort
of
issue
that's
arisen
now
now
is
with
typically
the
one
key
issue
about
North
Carolina's
landlord
tenant
law
is
that
in
order
to
remove
someone
either
physically
or
constructively
from
a
property,
one
has
to
go
to
court
and
get
an
order
from
the
magistrate
and
have
it
served
by
the
sheriff
you
cannot.
It
is
a
it
is:
a
violation
of
North
Carolina's
landlord
tenant
law
to
what's
typically
called
the
self-help.
Eviction
is
not
allowed
and
out
to
the
or
someone
out.
N
If
you
don't
have
the
court
order
and
don't
have
the
share
of
executes
the
court
now
with
with
Chief
Justice
Beasley's
order
that
Deportes
see
sort
of
regular
operations
they're
doing
first.
That
means
for
evictions
that
have
not
occurred
before
that
author
who's.
In
there
they're
there
aren't
proceedings
right
now
to
look
to
allow.
N
There
is
effectively
a
moratorium
of
addictions
to
plan
before
10
o'clock,
so
that
contrasts
with
under
normal
sort
of
we're
talking
about
a
normal
hotel.
Yes,
that's
just
there
on
business
travel
over
vacation
or
whatnot.
There
were
not
protections
under
North
Carolina,
so
the
hotel,
without
removal,
it
really
is
just
a
matter
where
someone's
overstaying
their
their
their
terms.
Their
hotels
will
typically
offer
a
local
police
to
see
trespassing
their
arrest
for
trespassing,
but
that's
not
a
one.
N
So
we've
gotten
a
lot
of
questions
and
feedback
and
from
hotel
owners
from
the
associations.
Then
I'll
say
the
vast
majority
of
hotel
owners
that
have
contacted
us
are
our
very
understanding
of
the
issue
and
are
not
looking
to
put
people
out
on
the
street
and
understand
the
sort
of
the
unprecedented
situation
we're
in
and
that
simpler
for
all
the
associations
that
are
contacted
us.
F
N
N
Industry
I'll,
say
Wyatt.
This
was
addressed
in
our
April
7th
letter.
There
was
some
confusion
because
for
sales
tax
purposes
in
North
Carolina
there
is
a
sort
of
hard
and
fast
90-day
rule
on
the
hotel
has
to
collect
sort
of
the
typical
sales
tax
on
a
hotel
gas
versus
after
90
days.
It
is
considered
a
for
sales
tax
purposes,
residents
where
that
sales
tax
no
longer
needs
to
be
collected,
just
as
a
typical
sales
tax
on
apartments,
so
that
created
it.
That
connect
still
is
creating
confusion.
N
There
are
a
lot
of
hotel
owners
who
do
ooh,
and
understandably
so,
given
the
complicated
nation
with
the
law,
this
fiction
issue
doesn't
typically
come
up
believe
that
there
was
sort
of
a
hard
and
fast
90-day.
Our
April
7th
later
makes
it
clear
that
that
is
not
the
law
of
North
Carolina
with
a
landlord-tenant
law
again
that
the
Baker
V
Russian
case
did
not
create
any
bright-line.
Rules
on
when
someone
becomes
sort
of
a
pair
is
their
primary
residence
for
purposes
of
eviction.
So.
N
Genuine
confusion
that
I
think
we've
been
somewhat
successful
in
in
clarifying,
but
we
still
are
getting
hearing
from
hotel
eligible
confuse
about
telling
us.
Oh
no,
we
don't
have
to
you,
don't
have
to
go
to
you
get
an
eviction
order,
because
I
and
similarly
we've
heard
a
lot
of
a
lot
of
confusion
or
wish
by
the
the
hotel
industry
that
there
was
a
bright
light.
Who
I
mean
I,
think
they
a
lot
of
people
are
seeking
clarity.
N
As
I
said
again,
we
are
just
interval,
we're
just
sort
of
saying
the
law,
as
the
Court
of
Appeals
has
laid
it
out.
We
don't
have
the
power
to
create
a
bright-line
rule
and
there
just
isn't
a
bright-line
rule
under
under
how
our
courts
have
interpreted
the
landlord-tenant
law.
So
I
completely
understand
the
frustration
of
the
hotel
industry
about
that,
but
that
is
what
the
law
is
at.
J
N
N
N
It
is
not
that
Ada
and
the
letters
in
April
16th
make
this
very
clear,
does
not
excuse
payment
for
the
rooms.
It
does
not
mean
that
hotels
can't
ask
for
payment,
can't
continue
to
build
customers.
This
is
this
is
really
just
a
question
about
physically
removing
them
from
the
property
or
doing
things
that
constitute
constructive
eviction
under
the
wall.
So
like
what
we
heard
with
the
wood
on
Days
Inn,
shutting
off
the
water,
shutting
off
the
power
rekey,
the
rumors
or
something
to
that
extreme.
N
But
again,
just
asking
people
to
pay
is
not
it
is,
is
unlikely
to
be
a
constructive
eviction
and
is
not
prohibited
by
the
the
landlord
tenant
laws.
So
it
really
is
just
that
question
that
actually
getting
someone
removed
from
the
property
does
require
going
to
poor
and
at
the
current
moment,
even
though
the
Chief
Justice's
order
is
not
is,
is
not
allowable
and
we've
continued
to
receive
complaints
about
the
issue.
I
think
I
think
the
volume
of
complaints
is
starting
to
go
down.
N
Letters
as
and
I've
also
been
in
touch
with
legal
aid
in
Charlotte
and
continue
to
interface
with
them.
On
the
issue,
I
will
say
it
is
a.
It
is
an
issue.
Ultimately
we're
tenants
that
are
facing
the
situation
need
to
obtain
individualized
legal
counsel,
which
is
almost
certainly
going
to
come
through
the
legal
aid
or
some
other
kind
of
pro
bono
arrangement,
because
it
is
such
a
fact-specific
inquiry
and
the
law
is
sort
of
so
fact-specific
just
from
sort
of
be
it
may.
I
N
Their
best
assessment
based
on
not
a
whole
lot
of
wall
out
their
office.
But
in
fact,
at
the
beginning,
I
think
a
lot
of
people
are
making
good-faith
efforts
with
the
vast
majority
of
hotel
owners
if
you're
from
or
trying
to
do
the
right
thing,
but
we're
certainly
in
order
to
still
getting
compliance
and
certainly
are
sort
of
first
answer
that
everyone
is
trying
to
get
in
touch
with
legal
aid
and
get
that
kind
of
individualized
legal
assistance.
A
Thank
You
Daniel
and
that's
a
very
good
pivot
point
or
my
good
friend,
judge
best
in
terms
of
what
happens
when
the
court
opens
what's
happening
on
the
ground
in
Mecklenburg
County,
and
this
kind
of
share
what
the
task
force
Kim
as
well
as
Elizabeth,
the
state
of
affairs
here
at
Mecklenburg
County,
what
our
court
system
and
what
you
envision,
how
that's
going
to
operate
once
these
borders
are
lifted
and
I
turn
the
floor
over
to
judge
bass.
All.
M
Right,
thank
you
very
much
for
having
me
on
this
call.
I've
been
serving
as
this
court
judge,
as
well
as
our
chief
judge,
Elizabeth
Josh,
since
January
1st
2009
and
currently
I
lead
our
civil
courts
committee,
our
civil
courts
committee,
as
you
all
we'll
know,
which
is
why
I'm
on
the
call
we
handle
our
landlord
tenant
matters
as
well
as
civil
matters
involving
monies
between
10,000
and
25,000
dollars,
as
well
as
which
includes
some
debt
collection
matters
as
well
as
commercial
evictions,
as
well
as
residential
evictions,
which
legally,
we
call
them
summary
ejectment.
M
The
summary
adjustments
are
initiated
with
a
filing
of
a
complaint,
but
the
first
thing
is
that
the
landlord
has
to
send
that
demand
notice,
and
they
can
only
do
that
under
the
law
by
the
16th
day
of
each
month.
If
it's
a
year-long
lease,
they
have
to
give
a
one
month,
notice,
seven
days
notice
if
it's
a
month-to-month
lease
and
a
two
day
notice.
If
it's
a
week-to-week
lease.
M
M
So
at
this
point
in
Mecklenburg,
County
prior
to
or
March
16th,
as
of
March
16th,
there
were
approximately
300
a
summary
ejectment
outs.
I'll
use
the
word
appeal,
I'm
sorry
eviction,
300
eviction
pending
to
go
before
a
magistrate.
Half
of
those
were
dismissed
later
in
the
month
toward
towards
the
end
of
March
middle
of
April.
M
So
there
are
still
150
Mecklenburg
County,
some
rejecteth
that
need
to
go
before
the
magistrate
who
are-
and
they
are
that
first
step
in
the
process
for
removing
a
tenant
from
the
resident
as
since
the
shelter
the
stay-at-home
order
by
the
governor,
there
have
been
approximately
200
new
filings
and
that
approximation,
and
once
again
these
are
the
matters
that
will
go
before
the
magistrate.
That
estimation
is
not
a
definite
estimation.
It
is
an
estimation
that
we
should
have
numbers
for.
After
all,
of
the
data
entry
is
completed.
M
Currently
our
clerk's
office,
our
court
system,
we
they
are
accepting
filing
for
eviction,
but
once
again
nothing
is
happening.
Our
court
system
currently
for
evictions.
We
are
not
proceeding,
we're
not
hearing
those
matters.
We
are
not
issuing
orders,
and
that
goes
back
to
not
only
the
governor's
order,
but
also
be
chief
justice
order
as
well
halting
those
processes
and
noting
that
it
is
not
considered
an
essential
court.
We
are
only
operating
essential
courts
at
this
point
and
just
Josh.
M
Maybe
it
would
speak
on
that
just
a
little
bit
later,
what
those
courts
thought
is
needed
now,
after,
of
course,
someone
appeal
that
child
de
novo
to
the
district
court
as
of
March
16th,
and
these
are
back
to
law
backlog
cases.
We
had
approximately
a
hundred
and
thirty
three
summary
ejectment
or
eviction
pending
when
the
stay
at
home
order
and
the
Chief
Justice
order
was.
M
Implemented
so
currently,
right
now
you
have
approximately
three
hundred
and
fifty
cases
at
the
magistrate's
level,
and
you
have
one
hundred
and
thirty
three
cases
before
a
district
court
judge
and
those
are
the
appeals.
So
in
other
words
someone
was
forced,
or
the
magistrate
found
that
those
individuals,
the
tenants
that
they
were
not
to
be
removed
from
the
property
or
the
landlord's
appealed
the
magistrate's
decision
saying
that
the
tenant
could
remain
in
the
property.
So
right
now
those
are
the
numbers.
M
So
that's
approximately
four
hundred
and
eighty
three
cases
now
keeping
in
mind
and
we
have
been
in
discussions
and
prior
to
this
meeting,
the
civil
courts
committee
did
have
a
meeting
and
we
did
discuss
what
those
ideas
are
going
or
what
the
court
system
or
our
process
will
look
like
and
what
our
dockets
will
look
like
once
the
stay-at-home
order
will
be
implemented
and
speaking
with
our
clerk
ELISA
Chen
Giri.
We
have
our
in
even
discussions
with,
of
course,
our
chief
chief
district
court
judge,
as
well
as
other
key
officials
that
operates
the
courthouse.
M
Once
we
resume
normal
operations,
our
normal
operations
will
not
be
so
normal.
We
will
still
be
implementing
and
utilizing
safety
measures
recommended
by
the
Centers
for
Disease
Control,
so
in
other
words,
we
will
still
not
have
packed
court
rooms.
We
will
still
be
instead
of
placing
50
cases
per
day
or
in
a
courtroom
docket.
It
may
look
as
though
we
have
25
cases
and
we
will
be
implementing
as
many
strategies
as
necessary.
M
We
will
have
to
determine
how
many
cases
and
our
clerk
of
court
as
well
as
our
chief
district
court,
will
have
those
discussions,
as
well
as
the
civil
courts
committee,
how
many
cases
should
be
put
on
and
each
day
there's
already
a
published
calendar
for
June
1st,
for
example,
because
we
know
will
resume
June,
1st
and
right
now,
130
of
all
133
of
those
backlog.
Cases
are
on
that
docket,
but
that
does
not
mean
that
we
will
hold
or
hear
all
of
those
matters.
During
that
week
we
expect
continuances
from
some
of
our
landlords.
M
And/Or
our
tenants
or
requests
for
continuances,
and
we
will
not
be
able
to
handle
that
volume
taking
into
consideration
the
safety
measures
that
we
will
have
to
put
in
place.
We
are
currently
considering,
however,
how
we
are
going
to
handle
our
summary
adjustments
and
right
now
we
are
considering
with
input
from
our
chief
district
court
judge
and
our
clerk's
office,
whether
or
not
we
are
going
to
hold
some
hearings
remotely.
This
has
provided
us
with
WebEx
and
I
apologize.
I
could
not
sign
no
and
I
anticipated
being
able
to
sign
on,
but
they
example.
M
We
all
have
WebEx
so
that
we
can
have
confidential
hearings
via
WebEx
the
attorneys.
They
have
conference
rooms
and
they
have
the
capability
so
that
we
can
hold
some
of
these
hearings,
whether
it's
by
motion
or
whether
it's
an
actual
hearing
remotely
the
jury
trials.
However,
those
will
be
on
the
back
burner
and
for
the
most
part,
when
we're
talking
about
evictions,
we
are
not
talking
about
jury
trial.
M
We're
talking
about
hearings
where
we
anticipate
no
more
than
10
people
would
actually
be
in
the
actual
courtroom,
but
nonetheless
we're
still
discussing
whether
or
not
those
hearings
will
be
remotely.
We
are
also
discussing
how
we're
going
to
schedule
the
backlog
of
hearings
and
then
what
we
are
going
to
do
with
our
hearings
moving
forward.
M
The
fact
that
we
will
not
have
our
jury
hearings
will
allow
us
or
give
us
more
days
to
actually
handle
the
summary
ejectment
or
eviction
cases,
but
that
schedule
has
not
been
finalized,
for
example,
that
one
hundreds
of
one
hundred
and
thirty
three
cases
if
we're
able
to
hold
court
for
days
per
week,
just
in
the
week
of
June
1st,
that
means
we
will
have
to
handle
approximately
33
cases
per
day.
So
how
would
those
33
cases
be
broken
up?
Will
we
have
you
know
15
or
16
and
17
in
the
morning?
M
You
know
and
16
in
the
afternoon
we're
not
sure.
As
of
yet
and
we'll
be
having
those
continued
discussions,
one
of
the
things
that
we
need
to
figure
out
number
one
and
people
we
need
to
get
to
the
table
and
I
heard
that
someone
that
one
of
our
panelists
miss
Graham
is
working
for
the
Apartment
Association.
So
they
will
be
invited
to
our
team
meetings.
We
will
be
inviting
crisis
assistance
ministry
to
our
team
meeting
to
our
next
meeting
will
be
hope
to
invite
our
degree
in
Charlotte
Apartment
Association
to
that
meeting
as
well.
M
We
have
firms
that
represent
landlords,
legal
aid.
Of
course
they
are
part
of
our
of
our
committee
already,
and
the
creditors
bar
will
be
speaking
with
them
as
well,
but
all
of
course,
our
magistrate's
Clerk's
office,
as
well
as
our
trial
court
administrator's
office,
will
be
involved
in
that
meeting.
But
one
important
person
or
one
important
aspect
of
that
is
that
all
of
these
individuals,
even
with
the
backlogged
cases,
they
have
to
be
re
noticed.
M
In
other
words
they
have
to
be
served
and
given
at
least
30
days
notice
to
tell
them
when
their
eviction
or
some
rejection
hearing
will
take
place
in
district
court.
So
we
have
to
have
individuals
from
the
sheriff's
office
present
before
we
can
finalize
what
exactly
our
calendars
will
look
like,
so
they
will
also
be
invited
to
the
table
for
their
input.
M
We
have
350
total
at
the
magistrate
level
133
at
the
district
court
level,
and
then
we
anticipate
we
have
approximately
200
new
filings
since
this
day
at
home
order
has
been
and
the
chief
justice
order
has
been
put
into
place.
So
we
were
talking
about
potentially
683
cases.
We
have
also
had
discussions
and
we
will
be
discussing
whether
or
not
we
are
going
to
extend
court
hours,
because
not
only
do
we
have
to
be
concerned
about
our
caseload
and
the
CDC
recommended
safety
precautions.
M
So
when
we
talk
about
specifically
hotels
and
motels
extended
stay
hotels,
the
smaller
hotels
where
people
tend
to
reside,
it's
not
a
hard
fast
rule,
as
he
stated
what
the
case
that
he
mentioned
states.
They
are
be
rushing
which
is
outlined
in
the
Attorney
General's
letter.
And
what
Baker
be
rushing
said
and
is
still
considered.
Good
law
is
that
there
is
no
inherent.
M
Determination
that,
because
that
is
where
you're
staying
at
a
hotel
or
motel,
that
that
is
considered
your
residence,
it
has
to
be
when
whether
someone
is
a
tenant
has
to
be
determined
by
looking
at
all
of
the
circumstances
and
the
fact
that
the
building
is
identified
as
a
hotel
or
motel
and
those
who
reside
in
it.
As
guess
that's
not
determinative,
so
it
is
actually
a
case-by-case
basis.
M
So
each
judge
would
take
a
look
at
and
determine
whether
or
not
how
long
had
you
been
staying
at
the
hotel.
Had
you
been
receiving
mail
there
did
you?
Do
you
receive
mail
anyplace
else
you
know.
Is
this
address
listed
on
your
children's
school
application?
What
is
the
circumstances
over?
All
of
that
particular
hotel?
Do
they
come
in
and
provide
cleaning
services
each
and
every
day,
do
you
pay
utilities?
M
Are
there
separate
utilities,
there's
a
lot
of
different
factors
that
go
into
a
judge,
ultimately
making
the
determination
that,
yes,
this
person
staying
at
the
extended
stay
or
the
stay
in
you
know,
or
today's
in
whether
or
not
you
are
actually
a
tenant
and
whether
or
not
the
hotel
had
the
ability
needed
to
file
an
eviction
or
whether
or
not
they
could
call
the
police
to
simply
arrest
you
and
charge
you
with
trespassing.
So
there's
a
lot
that
goes
into
it
as
the
attorney
Deputy
Attorney
General's
data
is
not
clear-cut.
A
E
E
You
know
our
normal
sort
of
court
business,
so
we
will
no
longer
be
restricted
to
this
sort
of
the
necessary
emergency
kinds
of
proceedings
or
proceedings
where
significant
due
process
rights
are
at
stake,
but
we're
not
going
to
be
able
to
have
normal
operations.
We
continue
to
receive
guidance
on
what
it
will
take
to
to
have
live
hearings
and,
to
you
know,
handle
court
business
in
a
manner
that
maintains
the
safety
of
our
staff.
Our
court
personnel
and
members
of
the
public
I
think
that
judge
best
invitation
to
members
of
this
task
force,
including.
E
You
know
folks,
who
can
kind
of
represent
both
the
interest
of
property
owners
and
tenant.
It
is
something
that
you
know.
I
would
echo,
because
I
think
we're
gonna
have
to
be
really
creative
about
how
we're
dealing
with
this
backlog.
Historically,
we've
had
mediation
practices
to
try
to
resolve
pending
eviction
cases.
E
A
Thank
you
very
much
for
Europe
for
your
presentation.
You
know
participation,
judge,
vest
Daniel.
Thank
you
again.
A
lot
of
good
information
I
think
it
was
really
important
that
we
again
kind
of
frame
the
issue
moving
forward
direct
people
in
terms
of
where
the
authority
lies
in
terms
of
some
of
these
issues,
ie
homelessness,
Mecklenburg,
County
issues
in
terms
of
evictions,
etc.
A
The
judicial
system
itself
here
in
Mecklenburg,
County
and
so
again
the
information
is
for
the
task
force
members
as
well
as
the
general
public,
as
we
begin
to
look
at
what
happens
when
the
court
reopens
here
throughout
the
state
and
specifically
here
in
Mecklenburg,
County
and
so
I
will
open
up
the
full
River
to
questions
from
the
members.
I
hope
that
we
can
really
hear
from
our
external
members.
First,
there
are
other
voices
around
the
table,
Rhonda
for.
A
A
C
Practices
that
further
strengthen
the
existing
law
around
protecting
tenants
in
place
and
what
I'm
really
asking
is
I
know
that
the
courts
are
going
to
follow
the
statute
and
they
have
that
responsibility.
But
does
the
city
have
any
sort
of
legal
authority
to
in
any
way
impose
any
rules
around
how
that
process,
unfolds
and
I?
Don't
know
whether
or
not
Daniel
can
answer
that
question
or
either
of
the
judges
can
answer
that
question.
But
it's
just
a
to
raise
the
point
of
whether
or
not
there's
any
latitude
locally
within
the
city
to
affect
this
process.
M
Daniel
is
probably
more
appropriate
to
answer
that
question
too,
because
we
have
to
follow
state
law,
but
there's
also
an
ability,
as
far
as
an
ability
for
city
and
counties,
of
course,
implement
ordinances.
But
I
believe
that,
with
regard
with
regards
to
summary
ejectment
landlord-tenant
matters,
I
do
not
believe
there's
Authority,
but
I
am
NOT
going
to
absolutely
say
that
there
isn't
so
I
think
the
Attorney
General's
Office
may
have
more
experience
with
that.
But
I'm
not
aware
of
any
authority.
Yeah.
N
I
mean
I
would
say,
I
mean,
and
this
is
not
an
area
that
I
regularly
practice
and
as
far
as
sort
of
local
the
ability
of
local
governments
and
that
Authority
I
will
say,
I,
don't
I,
don't
believe
there
is
anything
in
the
landlord-tenant
statutes
that
would
on
its
own
authorize.
It
I
believe
and
I'll
have
the
citation.
Without
my
hat
there
is
a
provision,
I
think
exclusive
yeah,
there's
an
explicit
provision
preventing
cities
and
counties
from
entering
rent
control
statutes
under
the
landlord
tenant
law.
N
That's
general
statute,
42
14.1,
explicitly
bans,
rent
control,
I,
don't
I,
don't
I,
don't
hear
what
you're
I
don't
so
that
would
be
one
section:
I'd
look
to
I,
don't
think,
there's
anything
explicit
otherwise,
and
the
landlord
tenant
laws
statutes
there
and
again.
This
is
a
someone
different
issue.
I
know,
city
and
county
building
codes
can
be
grounds
for
sort
of
issues
about
habitability
under
the
landlord
tenant
law.
So
there
is
some
room
for
cities
and
counties
to
pass
sort
of
minimum
housing
standards.
That
again,
probably
is
not
particularly
relevant
to
this
issue.
H
E
G
To
process
through
all
of
the
cases
and
working
under
this
new,
normal
I,
do
wonder
if
there
is
any
way
for
us
to
make
notations
as
for
a
kind
of
along
the
same
lines
as
mr.
Lindsey
for
tenants
who
are
not
on
a
good
end
of
a
legal
proceeding.
So
if
they
have
a
judgment
that
passed
against
them,
I
wonder
if
there's
a
way
to
notate.
K
G
M
Hi
this
is
just
this
is
just
best.
I
do
not
know
that
we're
able
to
influence
that
my
understanding
and
I
just
was
going
to
call
on
a
webinar
for
credit.
Yesterday,
our
organization
sponsor
to
sponsor
that
webinar
I
do
know
that
that
would
be
something
at
the
federal
level,
because
the
federal
government,
of
course
they
through
federal
legislation,
determine
how
something
should
be
reported.
M
I
do
know,
of
course,
as
we
know,
with
mortgages
and
with
mortgages
and
rent
for
commercial
businesses,
there's
already
information
out
there
that
it
should
not
be
reported
to
the
credit
reporting
agencies,
no
late
fees,
things
of
that
nature,
but
to
the
extent
we
can
notate
that
this
is
a
covert
19,
summary
ejectment
or
eviction.
That's
something
we
can
definitely
discuss
and
I
am
notating
that,
and
we
can
discuss
that,
and
hopefully
you'll
be
a
part
of
that
discussion
at
our
next
civil
courts
committee.
I,
don't
know
what
effect.
If
any
it
will.
A
I
Welcome
to
Unga
yeah
good
afternoon,
and
thank
you
all
for
such
good
information
I'm
on
a
lot
of
those
prevention.
Calls
and
I
have
to
say
that
sometimes
I'm
just
conflicting
information
right,
because
I
know
we
were
giving
some
information
that
a
person
could
be
in
a
role
one
night
and
actually
got
tennis
rights.
So
I'm
sure
that
a
problem
was
said.
But
I
was
just
trying
to
get
an
understanding.
Is
there
a
length
of
time
when
this
order
will
be
up
and
people
in
the
hotels
will
have
to
leave?
M
The
chief
justice
order
expires,
or
we
will
resume
normal
operations
June
the
1st,
which
means
that
at
that
time
our
civil
court
sessions
will
resume,
albeit
we're
not
sure
of
what
that
structure
will
look
like.
But
we
will
be
issuing
orders
what's
that
week
of
June
the
1st
so
June,
the
1st
I
would
say
or
May
31st.
M
M
We
have
no
way
of
knowing
what
the
police
will
do
in
that
situation
right
now,
because
there
is
currently
a
state
stay
at
home
order.
My
understanding
with
the
Days
Inn
situation
is
that
the
police
were
sort
of
being
called
out,
but
they
were
not
necessarily
removing
people
generally.
What
will
happen
is
from
my
experience
and
I'll.
Let
the
Attorney
General
and
just
Josh
can
chime
in
and
or
any
of
you
I
have
not
seeing
the
police
get
involved
in
civil
matters.
This
is
a
civil
matter.
M
They
may
give
them
a
citation,
is
totally
up
to
that
particular
police
officer,
whether
or
not
they're
going
to
actually
arrest
the
person
for
trespassing
or
give
them
a
citation
and
move
on
because
they
may
not
want
to
get
involved.
Since
it's
considered
a
civil
matter,
so
yeah
I
just
don't
know,
we
just
don't
know
how
it's
going
to
pan
out.
F
M
Currently,
the
numbers
that
I
was
provided
mr.
Cochran,
they
do
not
reflect
whether
how
many
of
those
summary
ejectment
or
addictions
were
filed
due
to
non-payment
of
rent,
so
I'm,
not
sure
that
I
can
answer
those
questions.
I,
don't
even
believe
that
the
Matt
of
the
clerk's
office
or
trial
court
administrator's
office
actually
keeps
that
data.
I
can
inquire
to
find
out
as
far
as
whether
or
not
the
tenant
can
actually
pay
their
rent
in
order
to
remain
and
the
property.
M
That
is
always
an
option,
but
it's
also
an
option
of
that
particular
landlord
to
actually
refuse
the
rent.
The
landlord
does
not
have
to
refuse
the
rent
if
they
believe
that
that
tenant
or
if
they
want
that
tenant
removed,
because,
let's
say
there
was
a
that
same
tenant
before
they
filed
the
eviction
with
the
133
that
are
backlogged.
That
will
come
before
a
district
court
judges,
not
the
magistrate
issues,
but
before
district
court
judges
out
of
that
133.
M
M
They
may
ultimately
just
want
that
tenant
to
be
removed,
so
they
do
not
have
to
accept
the
rent
if
the
landlord
does
accept
the
rent
and
basically,
that
sort
of
starts
the
clock
all
over
again,
and
so
the
landowner
has
to
go
through
the
proceeding
of
some
reject
event,
sanding
the
demand
letter
following
the
complaint
all
over
again.
So
that
is
a
possibility.
M
The
landlord
will
accept
the
rent
and
that's
where
we
did
talk
about
reviving
our
voluntary
dispute
resolution
and
we'll
be
having
that
discussion
at
our
next
meeting
to
try
and
resolve
a
lot
of
these
cases.
That
was
a
program
that
we
used
to
have
that
the
State
Bar
from
my
understanding
is
trying
to
revise
there's
still
no
phone
number
they're
trying
to
create
a
dispute
resolution.
Hotline
phone
number
I
was
told.
M
E
E
B
B
You
all
have
presented
about
about
laws
that
have
been
written,
not
really
considering
being
in
an
extended
pandemic.
So
when
we
tell
people
that
the
primary
prescription
for
surviving
this
pandemic
is
to
stay
in
a
home,
it
is
common
sense
to
understand
that
someone
who
doesn't
have
a
traditional
home
will
consider
a
hotel
home,
even
if
they
have
only
been
there
for
one
or
two
nights.
B
B
M
Well,
for
me,
this
is
just
best
again
for
me.
I
think
that
goes
to
because
we
do
have
so
much
discretion.
All
we
can
do.
All
we
can
do
is
tell
you
what
the
law
is,
what
the
law
states
we're
bound
by
that,
but
that's
where
figuring
out
and
actually
determining
and
voting
for
your
judges
comes
into
play.
M
That's
where
your
lawyers,
your
advocates,
your
lawyers,
your
legal
aid,
attorneys
your
advocates.
Your
housing
advocates
come
into
play,
presenting
those
arguments
to
the
judge
and
alternately
allowing
that
judge
to
make
the
determination,
I,
don't
think
and
I.
Don't
think
that,
as
you
say
that
the
law
doesn't
take
into
account
one's
personal
experiences,
it's
not
supposed
to
be
partial,
it's
both
the
impartial
/
unbiased,
but
there
has
to
be,
like
you
said.
Some
degree
of
common
sense
apply
to
the
facts
and
I
think
in
this
particular
case.
M
To
answer
your
question:
I,
don't
know
that
there
is
an
answer
to
your
question,
except
that
that's
where
determining
who
your
judges
are
comes
into
play
and
whether
or
not
they're
understanding
the
realities
during
this
pandemic,
and
how
are
the
judges
going
to
find?
Is
our
the
judges
who
are
going
to
be
hearing
these
case
is
ultimately
going
to
be
determining?
Well?
No,
they
were
a
tenant
and
you're
gonna
have
to
evict
them.
M
I
can't
tell
you
that,
because
I
can't
tell
you
how
any
of
my
colleagues
would
find,
I
can't
tell
you
what
I
would
do,
because
that
would
be
improper
and
unethical
for
any
judge
to
tell
you
how
they
were
rule
in
any
particular
situation,
so
I
wish
I
could
give
you
more,
but
unfortunately,
I
can't
answer
that
question.
I
would
just
suggest
that
you
know
everyone
keep
their
eyes
open
and
we
can
have
some
of
those
discussions
during
our
meeting.
But
keeping
in
mind
that
you
know
every
judge
is
considered
an
independent
judicial
official.
M
So,
for
example,
we
don't
have
supervisors.
We
are
beholding
to
you,
the
public,
because
you
constitutionally
are
allowed
to
vote
for
your
judges.
So
that's
who
we
answer
to
is
we
answer
to
the
public.
Now
we
have
our
schedules.
We
have
our
administrative
duties.
You
know
our
chief
tells
us
where
to
be
and
what
courtroom
to
go
into
and
she
you
know
will
represent
us
at
different
meetings
and
that's
what
she's
supposed
to
do.
We
can
come
to
a
consensus.
If
we
all
agree,
then
we
all
agree
on
a
certain
policy
or
procedure.
M
But
when
it
comes
to
the
law,
that's
action.
That's
up
to
every
single
judge
independently
to
use
their
so
to
you
their
own
independent
judicial
discretion.
So
I'm,
sorry,
I
can't
give
you
more,
but
we
can
have
those
discussions
and
maybe
we
can
that's
where
the
advocates
come
in.
I
would
just
say
that
I
love.
D
D
I,
don't
know
what
the
agenda
is,
but
I
I
think
we
need
some
time
to
process
this
we're
going
to
hear
from
some
hotel
owners.
If
I
had
to
ask
the
specific
question.
I
know
that
there
are
hotel
owner
license
if
the
attorney
general's
office
maybe
has
recommendations
for
those
hotel
owners
who
do
have
individuals
who
might
be
considered
legal
residents,
and
we
know
that
there
are
hotels
out
there
that
have
not
been
paid
and
over
a
month,
I've
received
emails
personally
from
a
hotel.
D
That's
owed
hundreds
of
thousands
of
dollars,
so
I
don't
know
what
we
tell
these
hotel
owners
because
they're
being
villainized
but
they're
not
being
caged
and
they
have
staff
and
if
they're
not
paid
and
in
there
and
they're
forced
to
close
we're
going
to
have
people
out
in
the
street.
So
I
don't
know.
If
there's
a
solution
with
that,
also,
if
they're
evicted,
we
know
that
we
have
at
least
200
and
filing
in
the
community
that
are
waiting
to
be
processed,
there's
gonna
be
so
many
more.
D
This
is
a
lose-lose
situation
when
hotels
are
not
being
paid.
If
initially,
as
you
heard
mr.
Trautman
say
it
was
a
part
of
the
pelvic
plan.
So
if
we
can
reintroduce
this
to
the
Cova
plan,
I
don't
know
how
this
is
done,
but
this
is
a
problem
into
the
crisis,
so
you
can
discuss
solutions
next
week.
I
think
we
are
the
task
force
that
starts
with
this
I
know,
but
we
just
this
is
a
lose-lose
situation
in
our
community.
We
have
to
do
something.
That's
all.
A
A
Daniel
judge,
best
judge
Trotman
for
their
excellent
presentation
and
and
giving
us
the
information
I
think
is
necessary
to
to
move
the
community
forward
to
educate
the
community
and
talk
about
what
the
law
is
today.
Obviously,
as
we
work
through
this
cold
in
nineteen
crisis,
so
thank
you
very
much
for
your
presentations
and
responding
to
my
my
phone
call
and
then
being
against
this
afternoon.
Miss
Johnson.
A
And
I'm
not
sure
what
that
changed
before,
and
that
was
one
of
the
reasons
probably
brought
Anthony
here
today.
Why
we
brought
the
judges
and
the
deputy
attorney
general
here
today
to
kind
of
frame
the
issue
for
the
community
to
find
out
how
we
can
play
a
supportive
role.
The
two
with
the
county
and
so
I
would
love
to
open
it
up
for
comments
and
reference
to
that.
A
A
A
What
we
would
like
you
to
do
is
to
take
a
look
at
it
over
the
weekend
and
give
us
feedback,
so
we
can
go
ahead
and
bring
it
to
you
at
our
next
meeting
for
an
adoption
and
so
most
likely
they
did
30
seconds
a
minute
just
to
kind
of
outline
what
you
presented
to
us
and
then
we'll
take
it
on
as
homework
and
provide,
and
it's
over
the
weekend
for
an
adoption
on
next
week.
There's
widened
sure.
K
Thank
you,
mr.
graham
and
other
council
members
and
task
force
members
quickly.
What
you
have
is
a
work
plan
that
was
developed
basically
based
on
what
we
heard
in
the
original
task
force
in
the
first
task
force
meeting
about
the
things
that
you
thought
we
need
to
work
on.
It
is
categorized
into
several
sections.
I
won't
spend
time
on
the
details
of
this
section,
but
basically
there's
a
general
section.
There
is
a
financial
assistance
section.
There
is
an
eviction
section
which
was
covered
today.
There's
a
marketing
and
communication
section.
K
There
is
a
section
that
deals
with
increasing
the
supply
of
affordable
housing,
there's
a
regulatory
and
a
legislative
tool
section
and
then
finally,
there's
a
homelessness
and
supportive
services
section
and
within
each
section
there
are
tasks
or
activities.
Based
on
your
specific
comments
at
the
first
meeting,
as
mr.
Graham
has
said,
it
is
a
draft,
if
you
all
will
just
continue
to
look
at
it.
Get
back
any
comments
to
me.
K
B
Yes,
this
is
councilmember
Winston
I,
actually
read
that
work
plan
and
not
necessarily
as
a
draft,
but
as
Miss
Wyman
said.
This
is
what
we
all
discussed
last
week
and
I
think
there's
much
more
stuff
to
here.
That
can
be
done
in
30
days,
but
I
would
like
us
to
start
doing.
The
work
I
would
like
to
see
a
30-day
work
plan,
I
think,
to
review
and
update
that
housing
framework
and
specifically
around
some
of
the
things
that
we
talked
about
today.
B
A
A
A
same
time,
our
staff
will
send
healthy
the
meeting
agendas
and
our
signing
information.
We
ask
you
to
provide
your
edits
to
the
30
day
action
plan
we
like
to
get
that
sooner
than
later,
so
we
can
kind
of
complete
the
final
document
for
your
consideration
next
week
and
thank
you
one
again
for
participation.
I
know
today
was
a
lot
of
information.
B
A
All
the
task
list
members
to
provide
their
comments
to
it.
Some
have
others
have
not
I
mean,
so
we
want
those
full
comments
and
once
we
get
it
will
it
will
bring
it
to
the
committee.
That
would
be
the
first
thing
that
we
we
discussed
on
next
week
or
a
formal
adoption
of
it
I'm
Monica
members.
So
we
can
feel
that
we
are
on
it.
