Thank

D
E
E
C
Let's
pray,
aye,
funster,
rohanian,
great
Ken,
Rowling.
E
B
Wonderful
we've
spent
at
the
rules
we
are
meeting
virtually.
The
next
item
on
our
agenda
is
approval
of
the
meeting
minutes
from
the
last
meeting.
Those
minutes
minutes
are
attached
in
the
packet.
Do
I
have
any
changes,
then
I
will
need
a
motion
to
adopt
the
minutes.
B
C
Frye
I
voice,
Cheryl
huntingin.
D
C
Great
Ken
Rowling.
E
E
Could
I
just
make
a
comment
on
animals
I
I
kudos
to
whoever
put
these
together?
That
was
a
very
difficult
meeting
and
I
felt
like
this
sums
up.
You
know,
got
to
the
issues
without
having
to
go
through.
You
know
too
much
of
The
Angst
and
the
and
and
everything
that
we
all
dealt
with
so
I
really
appreciated.
E
Reading
these
minutes
and
and
having
them
cut
to
the
issues
and
raise
them
very
cleanly
for
us
here,
including
the
fact
that
that
was
those
were
difficult
decisions
to
be
made,
and
it
was
a
difficult
context
in
which
to
make
those
decisions,
meaning
there
just
isn't
enough
money
to
do
the
work
that
we
need
to
do.
Yeah.
B
Thank
you
so
much
Canada,
wonderful
minutes.
As
always.
Our
next
item
on
the
agenda
is
our
first
of
two
opportunities.
Oh
it's
just
our
first.
We
typically
will
have
a
second
anyway
for
public
comment,
which
we
very
much
appreciate:
feedback
from
the
public
Jessica.
Have
we
had
anybody
for
Iowa
public
comment,
or
is
anybody
at
this
moment
indicating
they
would
like
to
make
public
comment.
C
G
B
And
then
the
next
item
we
have
is
the
application
and
report
review
process
and
with
that
Jessica
I
think
I
hand
it
over
to
you.
C
C
Okay
so
we've
gone
over
the
agenda
and
we
have
no
public
comment.
Marion.
Would
you
jump
to
four
for
me?
Please
thanks
so
much
okay,
so
I
wanted
to
lead
us
through,
hopefully,
a
robust
discussion
about
our
allocation
process
and
our
review
process
for
applications.
C
C
So
let's
talk
about
the
history
of
the
allocation,
the
new
allocation
process
and,
let's
start
there
next
slide.
Please.
C
And
yep,
so
this
new
process
really
started
back
in
March
of
2019
with
the
formation
of
the
social
services
Corps
committee,
under
the
leadership
of
Kimberly
Richardson
staff
was
charged
with
creating
more
equity
in
City
operations.
This
was
following
the
council's
goal
of
creating
more
equity
in
City
operations
and,
and
it
was
a
good
one,
so
I
I
have
the
vision
and
mission
statement
of
the
social
services
committee,
but
I
also
wanted
to
point
out
covid's
impact,
so
this
is
sort
of
a
living
process.
C
Although
the
realignment
efforts
started,
there's
a
wonderful
city
council,
member
for
from
Kimberly,
August,
19th
and
I
can
get
that
information
to
people,
but
but
really
the
idea
of
funding
under
these
three
categories
to
best
support
Evanston
in
Residence
started
in
2020..
So
next
slide.
Please.
C
Okay,
so
these
are
our
objectives
of
the
allocation
process
and
this
was
approved
by
rules
committee
on
October
5th
of
2020.
But
these
objectives
really
speak
to
why
we've
asked
agencies
to
present
either
Case
Management
Services
for
funding
or
safety
net
services
and
and
then
our
Support
Services,
which
the
social
services
committee
provided.
The
focus
of
funding
under
funding
for
case.
Excuse
me
funding
for
counseling
and
therapeutic
services.
C
So,
but
really
the
goal
is
a
client-centered
approach
right
so
putting
the
people
who
are
participating
in
Services
first
and
reducing
the
stigma
of
Social
Services
and
then
leading
with
that
Equity
lens
and
we'll
talk
a
little
bit
about
that
in
the
next
slide.
C
So
we,
when
we,
when
this
model
was
first
approved,
it
was
pre-pandemic
and
we
did
not
realize
how
much
the
community
would
need
in
safety
net
Services.
It
made
sense
to
fund
public
services
or
provide
50
of
Public
Services
for
safety
net
Services,
given
the
pandemic.
But
really
our
original
objective
was
from
the
public
services
funding.
C
We
have
available
set
aside
40
for
Case
Management,
Services
40
for
safety,
net
services
and
20
for
support
services,
and
the
goal
of
this
is
really
to
provide
continued
support
for
the
programs
that
are
doing
good
work.
We
don't
want
to
interrupt
those
services
and
by
providing
gaps
in
funding,
and
this
will
ideally
help
us
move
toward
a
two-year
or
two-year
funding
model,
which
is
is
what
we
did
with
in
2021
and
2022..
C
But
it
really
is
critical
to
note
that
that
ongoing
funding
lead
to
stability
so
for
our
Case
Management
Services,
we
are
yep.
Thank
you.
The
goal
with
providing
robust
case
management
is
really
for
households
for
people
or
households
in
deepest
need
to
have
wrap
around
services
from
their
case
management
support
or
their
case
management
point
of
contact.
So
we
know
that
you
know
following
best
practices
case.
C
Management
should
include
an
intake
process,
needs
assessment,
service
planning
in
the
form
of
our
measurable
service
plans
and
then
monitoring
and
constant,
like
ongoing
evaluation
of
how
participants
are,
are
reaching
goals
and
reaching
self-sufficiency
in
the
community.
We
also
know
that
case
management
should
employ
like
trauma-informed
care
and
strength-based
practices
to
best
support
the
people
people
connecting
to
Services.
C
There
need
to
be
regular
meetings
and
documentation
of
those
meetings
and
and
really
robust
reporting
around
the
referrals
that
case
managers
are
making
for
people
in
the
community
and
then
whether
or
not
those
referrals
are
successful,
so
that,
if,
if
people
aren't
able
to
access
the
referrals
and
the
additional
Community
needs
case
management
case
managers
are
there
to
support
them
through
that
process,
and
that
can
be
anything
from
you
know.
C
Benefits
enrollment,
as
Cheryl's
probably
well
knows
to
you,
know:
identification
of
Legal
Services,
child
care
services,
Housing
Services,
housing
notification
services,
but
when
we
talk
about
robust
case
management,
it's
really
that
breath
and
diversity
of
of
supports
that
we're
looking
for
case
managers
to
provide
next
slide.
Please
so
our
case
management
metrics
are
again
looking
at
the
population
serves
I'm.
So
sorry,
I
didn't
flip.
My
slide
really.
The
goal
of
funding
is
to
create
capacity
for
these
programs
to
serve
Evanston
residents,
so
we're
looking
at
participant
turnover.
C
We
know
that
people's
problems
aren't
necessarily
solved
in
six
months
or
a
year
oftentimes.
It
could
take
18
to
24
months,
but
we
are
looking
at
the
rate
that
people
are
are
moving
through
Services
we're
looking
at
the
equity
impact.
You
know,
even
though
covet
caused
Great
hardship
to
people.
We
don't
want
to
lose
sight
of
the
our
Equity
model
and
that
really
means
using
public
resources
and
government
funds
to
invest
in
populations
that
that
have
been
historically
underserved
or
that
have
suffered
from
the
practices
of
racist
institutions.
C
That's
was
a
critical
goal
of
this
shift
in
our
allocation
process,
and,
and
so
we
want
to
keep
sight
of
that,
not
only
when
we're
funding
case
management,
but
also
when
we're
funding
so
safety
net
services.
C
C
Okay,
so
when
we're
reviewing
applications
and
reports,
these
are
sort
of
the
the
high
level
key
key
things
that
we're
looking
for,
and
we
hope
I
hope
that
this
information
is
captured
in
staff
summaries,
whether
it's
the
summaries
of
applications
or
the
summaries
of
those
report
sheets,
but
we're
looking
at
how
much
money
programs
are
asking
for
what
they've
actually
received,
how
those
funds
were
allocated
across
their
program
budget,
the
number
of
total
people
being
served
and
the
number
of
Evanston
residents
being
served
and
how
those
numbers
are
shifting
over
time.
C
That's
been
a
big
focus
of
this
restructure,
specific
to
case
management.
We
are
looking
at
again
those
service
plans.
How
many
are
being
created
are
people
successfully
completing
their
service
plans
and
and
moving
on
to
stability,
the
referral
process?
We
know
that
Evanston
agencies
in
particular,
work
very
closely
together,
there's
evidence
of
that
not
only
in
the
land
meetings
that
Ali
Harnett
has
mentioned
in
past
Social
Service
committee
meetings,
but
also
through
the
ID,
the
Evanston
Collective,
which
to
refresh
people's
memories.
C
The
group
of
service
providers,
including
Moran
center
youth
job
center
Oru,
who
are
all
working
and
others
that
I
have
not
mentioned
so
many
others,
but
that
are
all
working
together
to
provide
these
wrap-around
services
but
critical
to
our
our
reporting
and
measurements.
Is
you
know
again
how
many
referrals
are
are
people
receiving
and
how
many
of
those
referrals
are
successful
and
and
leading
to
the
additional
supports
people
need.
C
Steph
also
looks
at,
and
you
know,
presents
budget
and
financial
information
when
reviewing
reports.
We
want
to
make
sure
that
that
there's
Financial
documentation
for
the
way
funds
are
allocated
across
program
budgets
and
how
how
the
agency
is
spending
and
also,
last
but
not
least,
critical
I
think
is
the
way
agencies
are
able
or
the
way
applicants
are
able
to
comply
with
reporting
requirements.
There
are
a
lot
of
them,
but
they're
they're,
all
critical
next
slide.
Please.
C
A
E
I
have
a
question
about.
You
know
the
in
the
three
categories
of
allocations:
what
I'm
trying
to
understand
more?
What
the
support
that
that
third
category,
what
does
that
mean
or
or
what
does
that
Encompass
right
it
it
the
other
two
anyway,
I,
don't
have
in
front
of
me
right
here,
but
but
could
you
could
there
be
some
comment
on
it?
E
What
Support,
Services
I
think
that's
what
it
says
when
I
hear
that
I
think
of
that's
providing
support
to
the
organizations
that
are
doing
all
this
but
I
think
there's
there's
something
meant
really:
that's
focused
on
members
of
the
community
or
clients,
as
we
refer
to
people
seeking
or
needing
and
seeking
services,
and
so
some
comment
on
that
would
be
helpful
for
me.
Yes,.
C
I,
you
know
what
I
appreciate
your
question.
Thank
you
so
much
because
it
gives
me
the
opportunity
to
also
talk
a
little
bit
more
about
how
we
got
ourselves,
how
we
find
ourselves
here
and
that
idea
of
Support
Services
and
really
this
whole
new
restructured
allocation
process
wasn't
done
in
a
vacuum.
It
wasn't
just
Community
Development
staff
or
housing
and
grants
team
staff.
C
These
this
idea
came
from
staff
across
City
departments
and
then
staff
reaching
out
into
the
community
and
following
best
practices
to
ask
agencies
and
other
community
stakeholders
like
our
school
districts
and
the
Evanston
Community
Foundation
or
the
Cradle
to
career
and
Evanston
Advocates
group.
What
additional?
First
of
all?
How
do
we
best
support
the
community,
which
is
how
the
idea
of
case
management
and
safety
net
Services
came
about
and
then
what
additional
supports
did
households
need
to
become
self-sufficient
right?
C
So,
if
you're
in
case
management
services-
and
you
know
you're
you're
making
it
but
your
car
breaks
down,
maybe
you
just
need
five
hundred
dollars
to
fix
your
car
in
order
to
avoid
crisis
and
remains
self-sufficient,
and
so
in
conversations
with
agency
Representatives
providing
Services.
C
They
floated
around
many
ideas
were
floated
around
about
what
Support,
Services
could
look
like
and
in
fact,
Amanda
and
another
SSC
member.
At
the
time,
Damita
Cravens
participated
in
these
conversations
to
hear
about
what
participants
needed
to
reach
self-sufficiency
and
really
thrive
in
the
community.
That
was
the
goal
to
help
residents
thrive
in
the
community
and
from
those
conversations,
the
idea
that
mental
health
support
right.
We
know
it's
a
huge
mood
that
became
the
focus.
It
was
really
mental
health
like
counseling
and
therapeutic
support.
C
E
C
A
But
I
just
wanted
to
add
something
to
that
when
we
were
originally
working
with
the
social
services
core
committee,
one
of
the
things
that
we
kept
and
with
our
agencies,
one
of
the
things
we
heard
is
there
are
often
things
you
know
the
case
managers
refer
people
to
different
kinds
of
services
that
they
need,
and
sometimes
just
because
of
funding
availability
and
whether
people
qualify
under
this
or
that
or
the
other.
A
That
was
the
summary
on
that,
but
we
we
originally
thought
it
could
be
a
whole
range
of
things
until
we
looked
at
that
we
wouldn't
have
enough
funding
to
provide
so
we
concentrated,
and
so
we
were
just
launched,
the
first
social
service
and
the
support
services
allocation
earlier
this
year.
So
too,
it
took
us
a
little
while
to
get
to
that
point.
Yeah
yeah.
E
So
it
so,
it
leads
me
to
another
question
that
I
I
just
don't
know
about,
and
that
is
in
any
of
these
programs
that
we
we
support.
E
Is
there
also
like
direct
cash
assistance
that
is
available
to
people
whose
Heat's
going
to
be
cut
off
or
water
is
going
to
be
cut
off
or
there's
no
food
in
the
in
the
house
or
in
the
thing
you
know
I,
just
like
I
just
don't
know,
I
just
don't
know
if
that's
also
an
option
where
people
get
that
kind
of
direct
service,
in
addition
to
all
of
the
tremendous
services
that
are
already
being
offered
right,
housing
help
and
and
mental
health
services
and
so
forth.
C
Yeah,
no-
and
you
know
what
that's
a
great
question
in
talking
to
the
agencies,
this
idea
of
a
fund
to
address
kind
of
any
and
all
we
we
did
discuss
it.
We
did
find
that
there
were,
you
know
if
you
needed
food,
there
were
referral
options.
C
E
Community
yeah
I've
seen
that
in
different
ways
and
through
my
when
my
kids
were
in
school
and
how
we
could
be
helping
other
families
who
needed
warm
clothing
or
whatever,
but
I
just
was
wondering
if,
if
that's
built
into
the
budgets
of
any
of
the
kind
of
organizations
that
we
support
through
these
funds,
that
they
can
help
somebody
with
a
rent
payment
when
that
just
can't
make
it
this
month.
You
know
thank.
E
And
Medicaid
isn't
Medicaid
being
cut
back
anyway,
but
yeah.
Thank
you.
That's
very
helpful.
I
don't
want
to
like
take
us
off
into
all
of
the
issues
that
we
did.
We
just
can't
solve
within
this
community,
but
I'm
I'm
curious
about
what
are
the
the
linkages
within
our
community,
so
that
people
are
helped
in
different
ways
and
in
ways
that
maybe
we're
not
always
aware
of
you
know
so
good.
C
No,
it's
a
it's
a
great
suggestion,
honestly,
the
the
support
for
mental
health
services
that
it
is
a
two-year
program.
C
It
is
something
that
that
the
social
services
committee
will
certainly
be
reviewing
in
future,
with
I'm
sure,
agency,
results
and
and
feedback.
B
Back
and
Jessica
I
appreciate
this
presentation
to
sort
of
remember
how
these
three
funding,
sources
and
programs
sort
of
fit
together
and
I
think
it
is
different
than
how
we've
done
in
the
past
as
a
city,
but
it
it
was
done
with
a
purposeful
vision
and
a
lot
of
discussion
both
with
committee
members,
but
also
with
agencies
of
like
what
their
needs
are
and
what
are
the
the
current
challenges
and
obviously
I
think
as
we
see
all
of
the
unwinding
from
covet,
I
think
we'll
have
reassessments
and
and
different
needs
might
pop
up.
B
But
it
really
was
that
robust
case
management
than
connecting
to
those
support
services
and
those
case
manager
agencies
also
having
sort
of
those
connections
and
relationships
with
the
safety
net
providers
as
well
and
trying
to
really
wrap
services
around
the
most
vulnerable
members
in
in
Evanston.
So
thank
you
for
sort
of
putting
those
puzzle.
Pieces
together
for
us
I
think
it's
very
helpful.
C
Okay,
so
not
to
rush
the
discussion,
but
if
we're
moving
on
we're
now
going
to
talk
about
safety
net
Services
shockingly,
so
the
social
services
committee
has
really
not
had
the
opportunity
to.
C
Sink
our
teeth
into
this
definition
of
safety
net
services
and
what
it
can,
what
we
would
Define
as
a
basic
need
again
to
to
your
point
about
covid,
the
needs
were
were
pretty
exposed
right,
the
need
for
immediate
shelter,
food
safety.
C
A
lot
of
resources
went
to
support
those
needs,
but,
as
we
hopefully
recover
from
the
pandemic
in
thinking
about
what
our
residents
need,
we
could
expand
I
like
to
think
of
it.
You
know
based
on
Maslow's
hierarchy
of
needs
right
once
there
are
basic
food
and
shelter
and
safety
requirements
are
met.
Then
we
we
can
start
to
look
at
other
other
forms
of
support
and
bringing
in
our
equity
lens.
C
We
can
look
at
what
the
supports
might
might
be
for
our
bipoc
populations,
whether
it's
education
assistance,
because
we
know
that
institutions
of
government,
education
and
physical
care
are
have
been
historically
racist
in
their
practices,
and
so
any
sort
of
supports
that
would
minimize
that
damage
could
be
important.
C
Workforce
Development,
although
this
is
also
being
looked
at
in
other
areas
of
the
city,
but
really
our
definition
of
a
safety
net.
What
what
constitutes
a
safety
net
service
is
immediate
access
to
resources
to
prevent
a
person
or
household
from
falling
into
destabilization
due
to
a
recent
hardship.
Typically,
these
crises
are
not
only
immediate
but
also
time
limited.
C
You
know,
the
head
of
household
loses
a
job
and
then
needs
needs,
rent
support
or
food
and
access
to
you
know,
Workforce
Development
or
somebody
recovering
from
a
medical
procedure
again
might
have
limited
mobility
and
need
food.
We're
also
looking
at
the
ways:
safety
net
providers,
Target
marginalized
populations.
So
do
our
safety
net
providers
have
Spanish-speaking
staff?
Do
they
have
a
plan
to
address
or
to
to
better
support,
limited
English
speakers
in
our
community?
Are
the
services
being
provided
on
a
sliding
scale
or
at
no
cost
to
participants
and
then
again
how?
C
How
are
they
able
to
report
the
service
hours
or
the
units
of
service
that
that
are
being
provided
and
and
can
that
reporting
measure
the
services
to
Evanston
residents
and
the
broader
population?
Next
slide,
please?
C
Okay!
So
in
looking
at
some
of
these
metrics
I
realize
I
spoke
about
them
in
the
last
slide,
but
but
they
are
still
pertinent.
How
quickly
can
safety
net
providers
link
participants
to
Services?
What
kind
of
demand
is
there
in
the
community
and
what
is
the
provider's
capacity
just
to
take
on
or
provide
more
services
to
more
participants
and
and
really
drilling
down
to
understand
what
what
we're
measuring
what
services
are
being
offered
and
how
we're
measuring
the
impact
on
the
household
next
slide?
C
Please
so
the
way
we've
we've
been
doing.
This
is
to
again
present
this
information.
Around
funds
received
funds
requested
versus
funds,
received
services
to
to
the
population
and
again,
accessibility
or
ways
that
the
providers
are
overcoming
potential
barriers
to
Services
how
City
funds
or
any
awards
are
applied
to
the
program
budget
and
how
funds
are
allocated,
and
this
ties
into
you
know
the
agency's
ability
to
comply
with
reporting
requirements.
C
But
again,
this
is
why
we're
here
tonight
to
talk
about
this
and
to
come
up
with
with
better
ways
to
make
sure
we're
giving
you
the
committee
members,
the
information
you
need
to
make
the
funding
decisions
or
the
allocation
decisions.
So
yeah,
let's
pause
here
and
are
there
any
questions
around
safety
net
services.
B
B
Obviously
you
at
the
staff,
see
that
reporting
and
have
you
know
the
ability
to
sort
of
review
it
more
and
a
familiarity
with
what
is
adequate,
high
quality
reporting
and
what
is
reporting
where
there
are
there's
less
adequacy,
perhaps
or
or
challenges,
or
maybe
it's
not
meeting
our
our
federal
requirements,
or
perhaps
it
took
you
a
lot
of
effort
behind
the
scenes
to
pull
out
what
you
needed
right,
like
that
happens
in
a
way
where
we
may
not
see
it
and
I,
do
wonder
if
there's
a
possibility
for
in
future
or
War
awarding
sessions
where
we're
sort
of
going
through
this,
and
even
just
sort
of
updating
and
Reporting,
where
we
can
get
in
a
more
clear
fashion
or
in
a
fashion
where
I
could
understand
if
there
are
concerns
or
opportunities
for
the
grantees
to
improve
their
operational
components
of
that
I
think
you
know
we
understand,
or
at
least
I
understand.
B
Very
you
know:
I
can
look
at
the
stuff
of
how
many
members
they're
surveying
and
how
many
you
know,
some
of
that
I
understand
very
quickly.
I
mean
it's,
but
on
the
operational
opportunities
or
strengths,
I
think
highlighting
some
of
that
could
be
beneficial,
at
least
for
me
as
a
Committee
Member.
C
I
appreciate
that
I
and
staff
appreciate
that
tremendously
and
I
think
yeah
we.
That
is
something
that
we're
going
to
be
talking
about
tonight
and
in
in
future
meetings.
How
staff
can
provide
more
substantive
information
about
everything,
just
detailed.
So
thank.
G
You
can
I
ask
a
follow-up
question
to
that
comment
because
I
think
it's
very
interesting.
We
have
discussed
best
way
to
be
able
to
provide
that
in
an
easy,
digestible
fashion.
It's
it's
currently
mentioned,
but
in
Jessica's
reporting
and
I
was
wondering.
G
Is
this
a
question
of
having
some
because
there's
some
nuances
as
you've
kind
of
pointed
out
in
your
question?
It
is
a
question
of
mentioning
a
little
Narrative
of
what
potential
challenges
are
happening
or
what's
going
on
with
the
reporting,
the
compliance
or
would
it
also
be
helpful
to
have
kind
of
a
general
either
like
a
street
light
kind
of
system?
You
know
green,
yellow
or
red
or
or
some
kind
of
like
it
meets
expectation.
B
I
will
speak
for
myself.
I
would
like
some
signaling
of
sorts,
because
sometimes
in
the
narrative,
when
I'm
reading,
all
of
the
narratives
I
can't
always
okay,
discern
green
versus,
yellow
versus
red
I'll
use
your
street
light.
But,
like
you
know,
or
maybe
you
know,
your
term
meets,
and
you
know
whatever
maybe
I
would
like
some
sort
of
signaling
I,
also
think
it
could
help
frame
our
discussions
potentially
but
I'll.
That's
my
that's
my
perception
or
preference,
but
welcome
feedback
from
the
committee.
A
And
an
interesting
thing
is
in
Zoom
grants
in
the
past,
we've
had
a
staff
scoring
tool
that
we
have
used
and
we
can
go
back
to
that
which
really
looked
at
all
those
things
like
okay,
do
they
have
their
operational
ducks
in
a
row?
A
Basically-
and
you
know,
are
we
spending
hours
chasing
people,
or
you
know,
and
and
everybody
knows
that
any
organization
can
have
you
know
there
can
be
a
report
period
That's
challenging
for
I
mean
so
it's
not
it's
not
nitpicky
in,
but
overall
and
and
over
the
years
I
mean
at
one
point
it's
going
back
to
the
when
cdbg
was
allocated
separately.
A
At
one
point,
we
had
to
really
go
over
that
you
know
when
we
were
giving
people
very
small
grants.
For
example,
we
were
spending
all
the
time
on
their
Grant
and
they
couldn't
even
do
the
reporting.
You
know
that
type
of
thing,
and
so
it
really
it
there.
There
are
situations
where
I
think
we
could.
A
We
could
look
at
reinstituting
that
and
I
think
that's
one
of
the
tools
we
can
talk
about,
because
we
do
have
a
scoring
tool
both
for
the
programmatic
part
and
the
sort
of
operational
parts,
and
we've
used
that
in
the
past,
and
we
can
go
back
to
that.
But
even
that
can
be
really
really
challenging.
When
how
many
applications
do
we
get
when
you
each
have
all
those
to
do
so.
We've
got
maybe
some
things
we
can
talk
about
about
ways.
A
We
could
try
to
lessen
the
burden
on
individuals,
and
maybe
we
can
I
think
Jessica's
got
a
couple
slides
to
show
us
that
maybe
we
could
show
you
kind
of
potential
formats,
or
these
are
ways
we've
been
doing
it
to
give
you
ideas
of
how
we
can
improve
that,
but
then
also
then
start
sort
of
brainstorming
about.
How
can
we
reduce
the?
A
How
can
we
help
not
only
give
you
information
better,
but
maybe
look
at
ways
to
make
the
whole
review
process
more
manageable
for
individuals
by
breaking
into
different
groups,
that
kind
of
stuff.
C
Yeah,
the
next
two
slides
sort
of
talk
about
or
or
illustrate,
a
proposed
template
for
case
management
and
then
safetynet
reporting,
whether
it's
on
the
application
or
ongoing
Services,
as
evidenced
by
the
the
reports
that
that
agencies
submit
and
again
the
goal
is
to
present
this
information
in
a
very
streamlined
and
consistent
way.
C
So
that
information
is
accessible
to
committee
members
and
Marion.
Could
you
would
you
mind
looking
at
the
safetynet
report
format?
Also,
so
safetynet
is
very
similar
to
case
management,
because
we
are
measuring
a
lot
of
the
same
key
points
in
terms
of
residents,
served
or
population
served
budgets
and
how
funds
are
applied.
The
the
two
main
differences
are
in
the
referrals,
the
service
plans
and
the
referrals
per
case
management
and
the
service
hours
and
the
accessibility
of
services
for
safety
net
Marion.
C
C
C
I
know
that
there
has
been
a
discussion
about
perhaps
a
rubric
or
the
score
tool,
Sarah
mentioned
or
forming
a
working
group,
or
maybe
several
working
groups
to
divide
up
applications.
If
there
was
the
appetite
to
do
that,
so
it
really.
C
The
goal
in
this
meeting
is
for
the
committee
to
decide
the
depth
or
level
of
review
that
that
we
feel
we
can
commit
to
and
then
for
staff
to
really
hear
the
critical
supports
that
that
would
be
useful
to
members
and
then
to
move
forward
under
that
model.
So
in
the
packet
you
know
again,
we
talked
about
the
score:
the
scoring
tool
in
Zoom
grants
being
the
the
biggest
and
and
most
time
consuming
way.
C
Similarly,
staff
could
present
a
rubric
for
the
committee
to
review.
We
could
talk
about
that
at
a
future
meeting
and
then
some
more
streamlined
processes
which
include
the
spreadsheets
that
committee
members
submitted
with
the
goal
of
really
capturing
applications
that
that
committee
members
felt.
C
Best
followed
are
our
funding
model
and
and
wanted
to
to
support
and
then
at
what
levels,
what
levels
that
support
would
take
in
terms
of
allocation
suggestions,
but
but
we
have,
we
have
lots
of
options.
So
Sarah
can
I
see
your
hand,
sorry
book,
nope,
you're,.
A
Muted,
yeah
and
I
really
what
I
I
think
is
a
challenge
and
and
I
over
the
years
done
a
lot
of
different
application
reviews
for
different
organizations
when
I
work
for
the
YMCA
I
was
one
of
the
people
who
got
called
by
the.
Why
of
the
USA?
Hey
we've
got
this:
will
you
be
a
grant
reader?
You
know,
and-
and
you
know
so
and
I
was
on
the
United
Way
board
for
a
number
of
years-
and
you
know
so.
It's
like,
and
one
of
the
things
that
I
really
would
like
to
hear
is.
A
If
there
are
ways
we
can
oh
well
and
also
talking
about
some
of
the
ways,
other
groups
have
done
this:
the
mental
health
board.
When
it
was
that
organization
that
was,
it
was
named
that
you
would
make
a
a
subcommittee,
it
would
be,
they
would
be
generally
two
people
who
would
everyone
would
have
all
the
information
and
review
things,
but
two
people
would
really
delve
into
it
and
come
up
with
a
these.
A
Are
our
recommendations
and
how
and
why
and
and
they
would
look
at
when
the
in
some
cases,
the
all
the
members
were
using,
that
scoring
tool
and
zoom
grants
and
they
would
look
at
the
average
score
in
the
average
funding
and
they'd
come
up
with
all
these
kind
of
to
start
it
off
and
give
some
rationale.
So
because
one
of
the
huge
things
is,
the
challenge
is
you've
got
all
this
information
and
it's
an
enormous
challenge
to
do
it.
A
Another
thing,
although
I
think
it's
very
difficult,
because
we'd
have
to
then
break
the
funding
into
finite
amounts
would
be
to
even
consider
having
things
reviewed
and
discussed
on
different
days,
because
it's
also
overwhelming,
or
maybe
there
have
to
be
two
days
or
a
day
where
there's
discussion,
you
know
two
meetings,
because
so
what
we're
really
trying
to
do
is
just
get
your
ideas
on
what
might
work
best.
A
Could
maybe
some
people
review
safety
net
and
some
people
review
case
management
and,
and
everyone
can
read
and
and
score
if
they
you
know,
obviously,
but
but
really
delve
into.
You
know
to
reduce
the
those
are
the
types
of
things
that
I
was
thinking
of,
I
mean
I.
Remember
when
we
were
doing
things
for
the
YMCA,
it
was
generally
they
they
would
do
a
random
allocation
of
okay
grants
to
people.
A
A
Even
if
you
all
have
time
to
study
every
single
thing
in
detail
and
I
know
many.
You
all
spend
many
hours
at
it.
It
still
is,
it
can
be
just
overwhelming
and
and
maybe
that's
a
way
of
looking
at
things-
I
don't
know,
but
those
are
the
types
of
things
we're
hoping.
Maybe
we
can
get
insight
from
and
it
doesn't
have
to
be
decided
at
this
minute.
But
if,
if
you
even
have
ideas
on
what
might
work
best,
then
maybe
we
can
think
about
that
and
provide
more
information.
B
No
very
very
helpful,
Sarah
and
Jessica
interested
in
feedback
from
the
perfect
10
go
right
ahead.
E
A
few
thoughts
I
don't
have
a
recommendation,
but
yet
but
I
I'm,
very
I'd
be
very
interested
in
helping
sort
through,
what's
the
most
reasonable
and
and
doable
process
for
really
a
limited
amount
of
money
that
we
have
to
really
address
the
much
greater
needs.
So
that's
just
background
and-
and
my
experience
with
the
last
go-around
was-
was
frustrating
for
me,
because
I
I
realized
that
we
were
coming.
We
each
had
different
perspectives
or
starting
points
looking
at
those
applications,
all
of
which
were
worthy
and
needed.
E
You
know,
but
but
we
start
up
a
different
and
and
I.
It
was
hard
for
me
to
like
jump
onto
somebody
else's
perspective,
because
I
couldn't
I
didn't
review
the
proposals
of
the
applications
with
the
same
okay.
So
that's
that
a
couple
things
strike
me
that
we
might
want
to
factor
into
here
and
and
one
is
there,
there's
there's
sort
of
a
scr
to
me.
E
There
would
be
a
sort
of
a
screening
for
eligible
organizations
period
coming
into
you
know,
requesting
These
funds,
I
I
see
the
and
I
really
agree
with
the
the
criteria
for
this
funding
going
forward
is
about
our.
Are
these
programs?
Are
these
organizations?
Are
they
client
centered?
You
know?
Are
they
are
they
in
my
mind,
are
they
representative
of
the
people
of
people
in
our
community
who
they
are
serving
or
they
are
delivering
services,
so
I'm
wondering
if
there
isn't
some
vetting
process?
This
is
very
tough.
To
do.
E
I've
been
in
the
funding
world
for
40
years
in
different
ways,
but
but
there's
like
who's
eligible,
you
know
to
come
in
and
to
say
we
do
this
great
work
in
this
community
now
I,
there's
no
aspersions
on
any
agency
organization
that
I've
seen
so
far
in
you
know
in
the
social
services
committee,
purview,
they're,
all
terrific,
but
but
but
I
I
recall
when
we
were
looking
at
the
the
social,
the
support
services
re
requesting.
E
We
moved
some
not
as
long
established
organizations
some
who
were
newer
and
who
were
more
rooted
in
different
communities.
They
were
moved
into
consideration
and
that's
a
legitimate
thing.
You
know
who
serves
our
communities
the
best
who's
connected
to
them,
so
I'm
just
wondering
if
there's
some
way
to
like
think
about
how
do
we
vet
the
organizations
themselves?
E
You
know
that's
going
to
be
fraught
with
multiple
issues
right,
you
know,
we've
got
organizations
that
are
10,
20,
30,
100
years
old
right,
you
know,
and
how
do
you
say,
they're
still
legitimately
connected
to
these
guidelines
that
that
that
you
know
preceded
my
time
on
the
committee
and
my
time
I
mean
I
I've
been
in
Everest
in
a
long
time,
but
you
know
focus
on
historically
you
know
a
isolated
communities,
communities
that
suffer
from
structural
racism
and
all
of
that
right,
that's
that's
a
real
charge
for
us
to
so
I
think
that
that's
one
area,
I
I
I
I.
E
What
I
would
find
helpful
as
a
Committee
Member,
is
that
we
would
agree
that
this
is
going
to
be
a
bit
arbitrary,
but
that
there's
like
four
or
five
criteria
or
filters.
We
want
to
put
on
to
a
applicants
and
it
is
arbitrary.
We
know
it
doesn't
cover
everything
that
an
agency
or
an
organization
does
and
has
in
their
mission
and
has
in
their
heart
and
all
of
that
right,
but
there's
some
arbitrariness.
E
We
might
have
to
do
do
and
then
we
experiment
that
with
that
that
doesn't
seem
to
be
the
right
one,
the
second
time
around
we
do.
We
change
it,
but
I
I
would
be
comfortable
with
us
at
least
agreeing
that
there's
five
Essentials
or
there's
whatever.
That
number
is
and
that's
kind
of
how
we
want
to
read
and
look
at
these
proposals
and
then
I,
like
the
thought.
The
third
thing
I
don't
know
shut
up
is
the
the
the
the
notion
of
a
working
group.
E
B
No
thank
you
very
much.
Ken
Vice,
chair,
rohanian
and
then
I
see
your
hand
as
well
as
Amanda.
D
Thank
you,
chair
yeah.
This
reminds
me
a
bit
of
some
of
the
work
that
I
do
or
some
of
the
work
that
I've
seen
happen
at
my
current
company,
where,
when
we're
vetting
contracts
with
third-party
providers
granted,
these
are
kind
of
different
scope
and
a
different
purpose.
D
We,
you
know
as
part
of
the
standard
template
reform
when
we're
pushing
through
the
the
proposal
for
consideration
from
leadership.
It's
there
are.
We
use
third-party
rating
agencies
for
those
providers
that
we
are
evaluating,
potentially
getting
into
contract
with
whether
it's
done
in
Brad
street
and
of
some
of
these
names
they're
familiar
with
folks
on
the
call
or
like
Moody's
rating
system
right,
Moody's
and
Pitch
the
accredited
bureaus
there.
There
are
equivalents
for
non-profits
and
Charities.
There's
one
called
charity
navigator
that
actually
I
remember
I've
looked
at
before
and
I'm.
D
Actually,
it's
funny
I'm
pulling
up
some
of
the
agencies
that
we've
worked
with
in
the
past
on
here,
and
they
are
on
here
the
ones
that
are
based
in
Evanston,
and
so
you
see
ratings
for
these
Charities
there's
as
much
detail
about
them
as
much
as
possible.
D
I
think
it
tries
like
the
rating
system
tries
to
normalize
to
a
kind
of
an
Apples
to
Apples
comparison
between
Charities
as
much
as
possible,
too
so
I
think
it's,
maybe
if
it's
deciding
on
if
this
is
if
this
is
Meaningful,
to
have
a
third
party
check
and
if
these
Charities
are
rated
incorporating
that
into
the
applications
themselves
as
well,
not
for
the
agency
to
fill
out
but
for
us
to
view
and
consume.
As
members
is,
okay
organization
a
submits
their
application,
they
say
all
these
things.
D
Well,
what
does
the
third
party
assessor
also
say
about
them,
because
that
can
be
important
as
well
as
well
as
what
Ken's
talking
about,
which
is
our
own
framework
that
we
devise
with
multiple
filters,
how
do
all
those
triangulate
and
how
all
those
compare
and
tell
the
story?
None
of
that
made
sense.
Absolutely.
B
B
F
Are
on
mute,
Amanda,
yeah.
Sorry
got
me
right
when
one
of
my
kids
was
asking
a
question:
yeah
I
have
a
couple
thoughts
too
and
I
I,
like
a
lot
of
the
things
that
have
been
said
already:
I
really
I,
like
the
idea
that
you
brought
up
earlier
Samantha
about
you,
know
having
some
kind
of
rating
system
or
whatever
just
to
talk
about
some
of
that
administrative
piece.
F
I
also
think
it
is
important
for
each
of
us
on
the
committee
to
review
all
of
the
applications.
I
just
think
if
we
have
some
kind
of
background
knowledge
and
the
summaries
that
the
staff
completed
were
extremely
helpful
as
I
compare
the
time
you
know
between
you
know,
reading
everything
in
the
zoom
grants
versus
the
summaries
that
you
invited.
So
that
was
really
helpful,
but
you
know,
in
addition
to
everyone
having
some
kind
of
foundational
knowledge
about
each
of
the
agencies.
F
But
one
thing
I'm
really
honing
in
on
also
is
what
you
said
can
about
everyone
having
a
different
perspective.
You
know
reflecting
on
our
conversation
last
time
and
I
think
I
think
that's
something
we
should
be
more
transparent
about
on
the
committee
like
I
personally,
don't
know
the
backgrounds
of
anybody
on
the
committee.
You
know
what
are
the
values
that
we're
bringing
to
this?
What
what
are
our
professional
or
personal
interests
in
this,
so
that
that
can
help
inform
you
know
what
it
is
that
we're
deciding?
F
So
maybe
that's
just
a
piece
of
of
us
getting
to
know
each
other
better
or
a
part
of
the
discussion
to
help
us
discern
the.
H
H
The
memo
talked
about
a
working
group
just
to
figure
this
part
out,
and
so
first
and
foremost,
I
just
want
to
say,
I
not
only
support
it,
but
I
would
with
volunteer
to
participate
in
that
I
think
it's
I
think
in
order
to
figure
this
all
out,
we
really
need
to
you
know
dedicate
an
hour
or
two
to
just
kind
of
working
through
this
and
and
and
perhaps
even
looking
I
think
that
was
said
earlier.
H
Looking
at
existing
models
that
other
communities
are
are
using
and
maybe
even
other
organizations
foundations
perhaps
are
using
so.
H
It's
really
important
to
me
that,
whatever
process
we
put
in
place
that
we're
helping
or
we're
incentivizing
organizations
to
improve
what
they
do
to
improve
the
delivery
of
services
that
ultimately
leads
to
better
outcomes
and
I'm,
not
I,
don't
feel
confident.
Yet
that.
H
You
know
healthier,
better
lives
and
I'm,
not
I'm,
not
there
yet
and
I
wanna
I
wanna.
Be
there
because
I
think
this,
you
know,
while
it's
not
a
ton
of
money,
it
is,
it
does
represent
a
significant
it's.
It's
significant
enough
to
where
people
I
mean
at
the
last
meeting
were
really
you
know
challenged
with
not
having
enough
of
it
right.
So
it
certainly
it
represents.
H
You
know
a
significant
part
of
funding
in
Evanston,
and
so
I
just
want
to
feel
better
about
that,
so
I
would
love
to
participate
in
the
working
group.
Just
to
think
more
about.
You
know
this.
These
initial
questions
and.
C
Yes,
thank
you
so
much
so
you
know
again.
These
are
excellent
points.
I
know,
Sarah,
Marion
and
I
are
all
taking
notes
and
I'm
looking
forward
to
reviewing
them,
but
just
as
I
hear
people
talking
about,
can
you
mentioned
getting
on
the
same
page
and
council
member
Birds
you
talked
about
it
also.
C
Would
it
be
helpful
if
perhaps
at
a
very
foundational
level,
there
were
two
slides
about
the
information
that
we
capture
from
case
management
and
safetynet,
and
and
might
we
go
back
and
revisit
those
slides
because
they
do
outline
again
the
very
basic
information
that
we're
trying
to
capture
and
we
would
be
happy
to
council,
member
Burns,
Point,
add
other
or
or
let
me
say
this,
because
this
restructure
is
new.
C
We
we
recognize
that
the
first
couple
of
years
and
the
committee
even
talked
about
this-
we're
really
going
to
be
years
of
of
just
Gathering
sort
of
Baseline
information
for
the
agencies
to
assess
who
they're
serving
how
they're
providing
Services.
What
robust
case
management
looks
like
versus.
You
know
what
the
safety
net
needs
are
in
the
community
and
we've
seen
such
an
incredible
shift
in
in
just
those
needs
alone.
C
Over
the
past
couple
of
years,
that
I
would
say,
I
agree
with
council,
member,
Burns
and
I'm
sure
other
committee
members
feel
the
same
way
that
we're
working
to
build
that
map
and
understand
what
those
Services
look
like
and
who
is
being
served
and
how?
First
so
we
are
yeah
working
on
on
filling
out
that
picture
and
and
the
first
step
to
that
is
part
of
the
restructured
process
right
rather
than
funding
all
of
the
agencies
for
doing
the
good
work
that
they
do.
C
Part
of
our
shift
was
was
really
looking
at
these
agencies
and
saying
like
Okay.
Now
we
want
to
review
the
services
provided
under
these
two
very
specific
categories,
and-
and
these
are
the
points
of
information
we're
looking
for
to
kind
of
build
that
map.
So
could
we
pause
in
the
conversation
for
a
minute
and
perhaps
go
back
to
slides,
12
and
then
17
for
Committee
Member
review
to
to
let
staff
know
if
that
information,
that's
currently
really
being
captured
at
a
high
level?
C
Is
is
enough
to
build
out
that
picture
I'm
sure
it's
not.
Let
me
just
again
start
by
saying
I'm
sure
it's
not.
But
what
else
would
the
committee
like
to
see?
C
We
might
not
be
able
to
capture
it
in
in
the
first
five
years
or
the
first
you
know
number
of
years,
but
but
I
agree
that
it's
really
important
to
look
at
Community
impact
on
a
much
broader,
longer
term
scale
and
that's
part
of
why
our
our
allocation
model
has
shifted
the
way
it
has,
because
one
of
the
components
is
is
providing
that
stability
of
services,
so
that
we
can
see
how
people
and
households
progress.
Sorry,
I'll,
stop
no.
B
No,
no,
no
Jessica,
council
member
burns.
Your
hand
is
up.
H
Yeah
sorry
now
I
was
just
gonna
say:
I
I
I
mean
certainly
if,
if,
if
anybody
has
comments
to
provide
now,
they
should
do
so.
I
just
think
a
better
I
I
think
a
better
venue
is
probably
taking
it
away
from
this
meeting.
H
Putting
it
you
know,
I,
don't
know
how
many
of
us
can
meet
without
you
know,
triggering
the
Oma
requirements,
but
I
I
think
we
will
get
more
out
of
this
conversation
if
we
had
some
time
to
additional
time
to
think
about
it
and
again,
I
I
think
sometimes
just
using
I'm
really
interested
to
know
to
see
what
Derek
mentioned.
H
Both
you
know
that
the
company
that
he
works
for
is
using,
but
also
I,
think
he
Derek.
You
mentioned
that
she
found
something
that
other
organizations
other
cities
tools,
that
cities
are
using,
but
I
think
with
with
more
of
that
type
of
information
in
front
of
me,
I
could
I
could
participate
more
in
in
this
exercise.
In
addition
to
that,
you
know,
I
just
would
like
to
think
a
bit
more
about,
because,
like
some
of
my
concerns
are
you
know,
I
think
reporting
is
really
important
and
I
know.
H
Previously.
We've
heard
that
some
organizations,
you
know
struggle
with
reporting
in
a
way
that
that
may
be
beneficial
for
our
process
and
so
I
I
think
when
we
but
I
do
think
that
that's
an
important
thing
that
we
should
measure
for
and
that
we
either
help
organizations
figure
out
how
to
you
know,
capture
and
maintain
debtor
data
and
present
data
better
or
you
know,
I,
don't
know
if
they
should
continue
to
get
funding
right.
H
You
know
how
are
they
keeping
their
records
so
that,
when
we're
auditing
them,
we
actually
can
more
ease
more
easily
identify
whether
or
not
the
funds
are
being
used
appropriately.
If
you're,
not
you
know,
keeping
your
records
good
enough,
where
we
can
learn
what
we
need
to
from
auditing,
it
I
think
that's
something
that
should
impact
your
score.
H
Ultimately,
so
that
I
have
a
lot
of
those
questions
and
I,
don't
know
how
we
can
better
work
that
into
the
process,
but
I
think
it
should
be
a
part
of
the
process
in
a
more
meaningful
way
and
so
I
have
some
kind
of
random
thoughts
flying
around
but
I.
Think.
If
we
took
this
to
another
venue
to
a
working
group,
we
could
we
could
get
a
lot
out
of
it.
B
I
I,
agree
and
I'm
trying
to
recall,
although
Jessica
can
correct
me,
I
do
believe
our
initial
sort
of
reporting
structure
might
have
started
with
a
working
group.
I
might
have
been
on
it
and
then
I
I
think
this
week
is
all
blur.
But
it's
almost
like.
B
All
right
so
dare
Vice
chair
honey,
you
had
had
your
hand
up
is
no
longer
up.
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
I
I
don't
skip
over
you.
You
were
next
on
my
list,
but
your
hand
is
down
down.
D
I
was
just
going
to
respond
to
a
councilmember
burns
on
the
website
that
I
found
that
scores
non-profits
and
Charities.
It's
a
public
website.
It's
called
charity,
Navigator
and
I
was
typing
in
some
of
the
names
of
our
agencies
that
we
work
with
and
they
were
on
there.
They
had
evaluations
and
ratings
from
this
third
party
website.
So
if
that's
something
that
we
weave
into
our
our
reports
and
reviews
in
the
future
could
add
another
dimension
of
information.
E
Thank
you,
I
I
want
to
respond
to
Bobby's
council
member
Bobby's
Burns
comments
about
the
the
the
the
the
slides
12
and
it's
17..
I
I
feel
like
that
kind
of
information,
just
as
you
suggested
council
member
would
be
best
in
as
we
think
through.
What's
the
kind
of
information
we
need
I
think
so
that
could
be
part
of
the
working
stuff
second
point
or
the
the
the
the
further
work
to
come
up
with
what
what
what's
the
criteria?
E
What's
the
screen
or
whatever
it
is
we're
going
to
call
our
our
process
for
reviewing
applications,
I
I
just
lost.
My
second
thought.
Sorry,
the
third
thought
that
I
wanted
to
share
is
is
not
connected
to
some
of
the
earlier
things.
E
We've
said,
although
maybe
tangentially
to
what
council
member
Burns
has
said,
and
that
is
well
I'll
tell
you
what
my
experience
was
so
at
at
the
last
meeting,
I
thought
I
saw
some
Flags
in
the
staff
assessments
and
about
the
what
was
going
on
in
within
some
organizations
I.
Since
our
conversations,
our
work
is
totally
in
the
public
realm
I
don't
feel
comfortable
in
like
picking
at
one
or
the
other
Organization
for
some
perceived
or
some
or
questions
I
I
on
a
couple
of
levels.
I'm
I'm
very
concerned
about
that
one
is.
E
This
is
not
a
pile
on
thing
and
I.
Don't
want
to
be,
and
I
I've
lived
in
this
world
for
50
years
of
of
organizations
so
forth
and
I
don't
want
to
cause
competition
or
people
trying
to
bad
mouth
it.
So
that's
one
possible
negative
thing
and
the
other
thing
is
like
I.
Don't
want
to
put
some
organization,
you
know
on
the
spot
when
we
have
40
people
from
the
community
and
us
we're
like
so
I
I'm.
E
Looking
for
some
way
is
there
so
I
I
understand
we're
fully
transparent
and
I
want
us
to
be
that
way,
but
there's
got
to
be
a
way
to
deal
with
difficult
issues
within
an
organization
that
you
know
that
that
should
be
dealt
with,
including
are
they
meeting
our
bipoc
guidelines?
Are
you
know?
Are
they
you
know?
Okay,
so,
and
and
I'll
just
share
one
on
I've
spent
a
lot
of
years
as
a
staff
person
and
running
foundations.
You
know
and
there's
there's
a
certain
level
of
of
of.
E
There
is
a
good
level
of
confidentiality
in
your
relationships
to
to
organizations
and
to
internal
issues,
and
and
that's
so,
a
staff
role
is
often
to
like
figure
that
out
and
and
deal
with
that
and
make
that
as
part
of
their
recommendations
to
the
the
board,
or
in
this
case
the
committee
so
I'm
just
very
sensitive
about
you,
know,
calling
somebody
to
task
and
a
open
meeting
when
I
don't
know
if
I
know
the
right
stuff,
you
know
so
and
it's
just
that's
an
issue.
E
I've
been
struggling
with,
there's
a
level
of
confidentiality
and
there's
a
level
of
of
transparency
that
we
have
to
deal
with
right
in
in
the
foundations
that
I
worked
with.
We
never
shared
each
each
other's
proposals
with
other
with
other
groups.
You
know
we
consider
that
their
intellectual
property
and
their
their
their
their
their
their
their
work.
You
know,
and
it
wasn't
out
there
for
somebody
else
to
critique
or
something
so
anyway.
B
And
I
think
can
that
I
think
that
was
why
I
don't
know
if
we're
coming
at
it
from
the
same
page,
but
that
was
why
I
also
sort
of
saw
it
like
I
couldn't
tell
always
is
this
a
flag?
Am
I
meeting
am
I
reading
this
as
a
flag
because
of
my
own
perception
and
that's
sort
of
where,
like
a
signal,
would
be
helpful
for
me
or
grading
or
I
I.
Think
that's
for
the
working
group
to
decide,
but
I
I,
I.
B
H
Yeah
and
then
this
is
kind
of
back
to
Ken's
earlier
point,
but
I
think
that's
why
it's
important
to
have
you
know
those
kind
of
hard
and
fast
criteria
so
that
people
don't
feel
like
things
are
being
applied
unfairly
or
unequally.
I
mean.
H
It's
tough
because
you
know
once
you
start
enforcing
it,
everyone
won't
make
the
cut,
but
I
think
it
also
helps
to
do
this
in
a
way
that
that
makes
it
easier
because
because
it
came
to
your
point,
you
know
this
is
definitely
different
than
a
private
organization.
It
does
have
to
be
transparent,
I,
don't
think
any
of
these
discussions
meet
the
closed
session.
H
You
know
requirements
and
so,
and
so
we
have
to
find
other
ways
around
it
and
I
think
one
way
to
do
that
again
is
just
to
create
those
hard
and
fast
criteria
and
and
hold
every
group
accountable
to
it.
It
you
know,
and
so
there's
no,
you
know
favoring
any
organization
over
another.
B
Yeah
and
I
before
Jessica,
I,
just
gonna,
say
and
making
that
very
clear
to
the
applicants
beforehand.
So
they
know
our
expectations
and
there's
that
transparency
I
think
you
know
I
and
I.
I
I
think
that's
important
and
will
set
us
up
as
an
organization
as
a
sorry
as
a
committee
for
success
in
future
rounds
as
well.
Jessica
yeah.
C
Yes,
thank
you.
You
know,
I
was
going
to
say,
I
appreciate
all
of
these
points
and
agree
with
them,
and
it's
also
challenging
for
staff.
However,
because
this
is
my
role
and
because
I
we
do
have
conversations
with
agencies
around
reporting
in
compliance
I.
C
Actually,
while
I
recognize
the
challenges
of
the
public
process,
I
personally
see
it
as
a
benefit
in
my
role,
because
when
I
do
make
statements
about
agencies,
those
agencies
are
required
to
come
to
meetings
and
review
the
packets
and
review
the
summaries
and
I
tell
them.
You
know
if,
if
I'm
misrepresenting
anything,
this
is
your
opportunity
to
to
chime
in
and
set
the
record
straight.
C
So
I
I
do
see
a
way
for
staff
to
provide
a
more
robust
analysis,
which
is
something
that
I
think
that
I've
heard
committee
members
ask
for
and
certainly
be
very
transparent
with
agencies
prior
to
having
a
public
conversation,
but
also
continually
inviting
agencies
or
welcoming
them
into
the
process,
so
that
if
there
are
misrepresentations
that
they
are
there
to
correct
the
record-
or
you
know,
talk
to
talk
about
challenges-
and
you
know
that's
one
of
the
other
gray
areas
in
in
the
reporting
or
the
way
information
is
presented
by
staff
to
two
members.
C
H
C
B
Well,
wonderful,
thank
you.
I
would
like,
if
you,
if
the
committee
will
indulge
me
and
just
sort
of
trying
to
summarize
sort
of
what
I've
heard
in
next
steps,
I'm
going
to
try
to
pull
in
every
string
and
grade
it
together
and
if
I
miss
something
and
I'll
add
my
few
little
strings
at
the
end.
Most
of
you,
you
guys
all
covered
very
similar
things
of
in
my
in
my
process.
B
So,
first
and
foremost,
we
need
a
working
group
for
just
what
are
those
reports
and
some
reasons
or
what
do
we
need
and
the
process
I
heard
council,
member
Burns,
volunteer
and
I
thought
I
kind
of
heard
Ken,
but
I
might
be
okay
and
we
have
two
unless
anybody
objects,
I
think
that's
a
that
we
can
only
have
two
without
violating
open
meetings
act
and
so
that
that's
two.
H
Derek
wants
to
participate.
I'm
happy
to
you,
know
kind
of
look
at
their
work
as.
H
The
last
working
group
that
that
had
a
crackhead
there
so
Derek
if
you
want
to
participate,
I'm
happy
to
yeah
I'm,
happy
to
to
relinquish
my
seat
at
that
table
and
you
can
participate.
E
So
that
was
actually
going
to
be
my
question
before
is:
is
there
any
way
we
can
have
a
working
group
that
has
more
than
a
couple
of
us?
Oh
wow,.
B
E
E
A
Right
I
just
need
to
recognize
establishing
a
working
group
with
more
than
two
people
means
we
have
to
have
agendas
posted
48
hours
in
advance.
We
have
to
have
minutes,
we
have
to
have
that
and
frankly,
we
are
really
strapped
staff
time
right
now,
so
that
could
be
a
challenge.
I'm,
not
saying
it
can't
be
done,
but
I
think
we
need
to
make
sure
that
we
are
well
prepared
so
that
the
meetings
are
productive
and
we
get
the
most
out
of
them.
A
So
I
think
maybe
that
would
be
a
way
to
approach
that,
maybe
because
we
really
are
I
mean
we've
got
a
lot
of
things
on
our
plate.
In
addition
to
including
just
going
to
be
getting
out
all
the
grant
agreements
and
stuff
like
that
that
get
our
people
funded
so
and-
and
we
can
also
it's
not
something-
we
have
to
do
instantly
because
we're
not
going
to
be
having
another
round
of
applications.
A
So
I
just
want
to
also
point
out
that
I
think
we
can
be
very
thoughtful
and
and
about
timing
on
this
too,
because
I
don't
have
a
problem
with
having
an
extra
meeting
or
two
and
have
more
people,
but
I
think
that
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
we
are
able
to
help.
You
all
make
those
as
productive
as
possible.
G
Yeah
mostly
concerned
for
bandwidths
and
staff
being
able
to
support
a
public
meeting
yeah.
H
E
Don't
know
if
Ken
that
was
your
yeah,
that's
where
I
was
going
to
go.
I,
don't
know,
I,
don't
know
what
the
agendas
look
like.
But
what,
if
we
dedicated
an
hour
of
the
next
meeting
or
something
to
the
working
group,
to
doing
this
very
thing.
G
Yeah
the
other
thing
as
well.
That
could
be
it.
We
could
consider
kind
of
a
hybrid
where
there's
a
little
bit
of
a
working
group
of
two
people,
prepping
some
conversation,
and
then
we
bring
it
back
to
the
committee
as
a
conversation
and
then
maybe
they
go
back.
There's
flexibility
there
that
can
work
to
be
worked
out
as
well.
B
B
So
why
don't
we?
Does
anybody
object
to
doing
that?
That
way
we
all
can
participate?
We
don't
have
a
robust
agenda
that
will
be
our
agenda
I'm,
just
nobody
objecting.
So
that's
what
we'll
do
we'll
streamline
some
staff
effort
there.
So
thank
you
guys
so
we'll
discuss
that
through
the
working
group
or
sorry
through
the
committee.
B
I
also
heard
you
know,
sort
of
the
process
of
both
from
Ken's
without
priorities
and
then
from
council
member
Burns
of
standards
and
I.
Think
that
on
both
ends
makes
a
lot
of
sense
and
I.
B
Think
the
priority
component
might
also
tie
that
discussion
might
help
so
Amanda
to
sort
of
understanding
where
we're
all
coming
from,
as
we
sort
of
discuss
those
priorities
that
might
sort
of
naturally
and
organically
lead
to
sort
of
some
of
that
conversation,
Amanda,
I,
I,
hope
and
I
think
that
all
makes
sense
and
that
might
be
I
think
we
start
with
what
the
reporting
is
I.
B
Can
we
start
with
some
of
those
standards,
some
of
those
development
or
determination
of
I'm,
going
to
call
them
continue
with
your
street
light
analogy,
but
then
we
can
also
move
on
to
priorities
and
make
it
really
clear
to
applicants
with
a
good
amount
of
lead
time.
B
This
is
what
we're
looking
at.
These
are
our
priorities.
These
are
standards,
and
this
is
what
we're
sort
of
going
to
be.
You
know
discussing
over
the
next
next
year.
B
The
other
thing
I
I,
think
that
I
would
like,
and
it
was
sort
of
something
I
think
we're
going
to
be
discussing
next
month.
But
I
do
like
that
summary
that
visual
summary,
where
I
actually
would
find
it,
the
most
helpful,
isn't
necessarily
on
the
the
scoring,
but
in
the
discussion
as
a
Committee
Member
I
was
I.
You
know
like
that
very
simple
sort
of
one
pager.
If
you
will
there
was
visually
sort
of
straightforward
to
me
as
we're
discussing
it.
B
It
would
be
helpful
because
sort
of
scrolling
through
the
application
or
even
the
more
text,
Heavy,
summary,
isn't
and
I'm
thinking,
mainly
because
of
me
I've
got
the
agenda
up.
I've
got
these
other
things
that
I
I'm
I
feel
like
I
have
to
ask
things
that
I
I
know
the
answer
to
but
I
can't
pull
easily
and
if
that
sort
of
summary
page
would
be
very
helpful
for
just
discussion.
B
B
Okay,
so
the
next
steps
we'll
discuss
we'll
discuss
the
I'm
sorry.
B
We
will
discuss
the
process
or
the
the
stuff
on
slide,
12
and
17.
and
and
just
sort
of
discuss
as
a
group.
B
What
is
missing
what
we
like
what
we
might
want,
tweaked
and
sort
of
go
from
there
and
I
suspect
that
will
be
a
robust
discussion
and
we
might
then
lead
into
sort
of
process
and
priorities
and
standards
into
the
next
discussion,
but
that's
just
a
an
assumption
based
off
of
the
content
we
have
before
us.
B
H
Just
quickly
I
think
something
Sarah
said
it
struck
me
as
something
that's
really
important.
That
and
you
know
I
would
encourage
you
know,
staff
to
just
reach,
or
even
us,
to
provide
some
feedback
now,
perhaps
and
even
I
guess
in
between
meetings
but
to
provide
input
to
staff
about
what
we
need
in
order
to
have
the
most
productive
discussion
around
this,
because
I
do
think
a
bit
of
preparation
and
and
input
from
us
would
help
staff
to
prepare.
H
You
know
provide
any
information
you
know
in
the
next
packet
for
us,
so
I
don't
know
if
that's
something
we
do
now,
or
probably
it's
better
off
us
sending.
Maybe
our
individual
thoughts
but
I
do
think
that's
important
to
get
that
information
to
staff
as
soon
as
we
can.
B
I
I
agree,
council,
member
and
I
think
you
know
with
the
with
the
recognition
we're
gonna
have
that
broader
discussion.
I,
don't
know
if
we
want
to
do
just
a
working
group
or
there
are
two
folks
and
they
to
have
a
call
with
Jessica
or
if
everybody
just
who
has
who
wants
to
and
has
the
capacity
to
send
in
individual
comments.
B
I,
don't
know
if
that's
harder
or
easier
for
Jessica
or
harder
or
easier
for
committee
members,
but
I
do
think
if
there
are
some
folks
that
can
do
a
little
bit
of
leg
work
or
want
to
do
a
little
bit
of
legwork
before
and
help
staff
sort
of
have
share
our
thoughts
before
the
next
committee.
Our
discussion
will
probably
be
more
robust
and
maybe
efficient
as
well.
E
Ken,
so
I
would
just
suggest
resending
the
the
document,
the
memorandum
that
you
sent
this
time
for
this
meeting,
which
listed
the
criteria
for
reviewing
case
management.
You
know
that
the
background,
the
history
stuff
and
then
I
think
reminding
us
of
those
of
those
12
and
number
12
and
17.,
just
as
starters
of
and
I'm
saying
that,
from
my
perspective
of
looking
to
want
to
set
a
set
of
screens
right,
you
know
wanting
to
set
a
set
of
five
six
criteria.
E
A
Sarah,
would
it
be
helpful
for
us
just
to
even
just
have
copies
of
things
like
the
scoring
tools
that
have
been
that
are
in
Zoom
grants,
for
example,
just
so
that
you
have.
A
So
you
don't
have
pages
of
stuff
the
the
scoring
questions
we've
had
in
the
past
and
also
the
ones
that
we've
had
that
staff
have
used,
because
there
are
a
bunch
of
things
that
we
look
at
and
part
of
it
is
because
of
Any
time
we're
looking
at
federal
funds.
A
You
know
hey,
we
got
to
check
to
see
if
they
have
a
single
audit
and
if
they
have
a
single
audit,
we
have
to
check
to
see
if
there
are
findings
and
that
sort
of
thing
and
that's
kind
of
what
Vice
Cheryl
hanyan
is
it's
one
of
those
pretty
objective
measures
that
is
like?
Are
they
handling?
A
You
know
another
organization,
assessment
of
organization?
Now,
not
all
of
our
organizations
have
a
single
audit
because
you
have
to
have
750
000
or
more
of
federal
funding
expended
in
your
fiscal
year.
So
but
but
that's
one
of
the
things
we
look
at,
we
we
also
we
get
there
financial
statements
and
we
look
again
for
Auditors
comments
and
things
like
that,
and
so
you
see
on
that
things.
They're,
like
audit,
you
know
any
comments.
A
And
I
think
that
those
sorts
of
things
could
be
in
a
whatever
we
decide.
We
need
staff
to
look
at
and
score.
It
could
be
combined
in
a
way
that
what
the
committee
is
talking
about
not
then
like
discussing
absolute
specifics
that
could
be.
A
B
A
We
do
have
things
like
in
our
application.
One
of
the
things
is
we
ask
for
the
applicants
to
outline
their
Staffing,
because
you
know
one
of
the
things
Ken
that
you
brought
up
is:
are
they
reaching
people?
A
One
of
the
kind
of
measures
of
is:
do
you
have
staff
that
mirror
the
population
you're
trying
to
work
with,
and-
and
you
know
we-
we
talked
about
that
in
some
cases,
but
we
can
talk
about
those
sorts
of
things
too,
because
those
are
ways
that
we
can
maybe
be
better
at
presenting
that
information
more
comprehensively
to
the
or
in
a
in
a
no
matter.
A
How
many
times
you
read
the
applications
I
think
it
is
helpful
to
have
a
summary,
because
it's
like
anything
else,
if,
if,
when
you're
in
a
discussion,
those
all
those
little
details
are
the
hard
things
to
come
up
with
and
make
sure
that
we're
putting
the
the
correct
things
into
the
summaries.
For
you.
H
Thank
you.
Yes,
sir
I
have
one
last
thought
on
this
I
think
comparing
what
the
the
criteria
we
use
now
with.
Maybe
previous
criteria
would
help
in
the
same
way
that
you
know
you
I
think
just
like
a
quick
comparison
chart.
So
we
can
quickly
see
like
what
what
we're
doing
now
is
maybe
different
than
what
we've
previously
done
or
the
other
way
around,
and
then
also
comparing
it
with
with
maybe
some
other
cities
and
organizations
measuring
tools
and
again
putting
it
all
in
the
charts.
H
So
we
can
quickly
scan
it
to
see.
You
know
what
are
some
some
quick
things
that
we
might
want
to
add
to
our
scoring
tool
that
other
places
are
doing
that
we
might
not
be
doing
but
it'll.
H
Kind
of
drum
up
conversation
a
lot
more
than
if
we
are
expected
to
come
up
with
some
of
those
things
on
the
Fly.
Because
again,
you
know,
there's
so
many
examples
of
this,
because
every
city,
every
most
foundations,
they're
doing
this
and
so
I
think
we
can
I
I.
Think
we
can.
If,
with
a
little
bit
of
research,
we
can
have
those
organ
through
those
organizations
that
first
come
up
with
somebody,
some
quick
things
that
we
might
want
to
add
to
our
process
and
then
the.
H
Love
to
know,
especially
around
like
is
is
so
it's
not
just
like.
Are
you
keeping
records,
but
it's
I
also
want
to
get
a
better
sense
of
next
meeting.
Are
we
evaluating
around
like
the
way
in
which
they
keep
their
records
right
like?
Are
you
keeping
it
in
a
way?
That's
that
that
meets
some
some
type
of
standard,
so
not
just
checking
them,
say:
Yep
they're
keeping
records,
but
again
what
are
the
are
they
holding
to
some
standard
of
keeping
records
and
same
thing
for
case
management
plan?
H
Again,
it's
not
just
if
you're
you're
keeping
case
management
plans,
but
again
are
you
holding
to
some
standard
because
I
can
think
of
you
know
I,
don't
think
every
every
case
management
plan
is
is
equal.
I
think
some
are
are
probably
better
than
others,
and
so
it
would
be
interesting
to
see
what
level
of
detail
we're
measuring
each
area
in
and
then
some
we
may
be
measuring.
You
know
more
detail
than
others,
but
I'd
like
to
have
a
better
sense
of
that
at
the
next
meeting.
That.
A
Is
something
thank
you,
councilmember
Burns,
for
bringing
that
up?
One
of
the
things
we
have
not
been
doing
a
great
deal
of,
and
actually
any
of
really
since
the
start
of
the
pandemic
is
site
visits
where
staff
looks
at
those
sorts
of
things,
and
that
is
something
we
will
reinstitute,
because
that's
a
really
important
part
of
our
monitoring
process
and
but
we
have
historically
done-
is
a
risk
assessment.
You
know
when
you
see
other
red
flags
like
reporting
problems
or
things
don't
seem
to
match
up
and
stuff
like
that.
A
You
know
you,
you
prioritize
based
on
that
and
that's
one
of
the
things.
Actually,
we
historically
have
been
required
to
have
by
cdbg,
but
but
I
think
that
that's
the
type
of
situation
where
we
can
really
look
at
case
plans
and
go
through,
and
this
is
something
that
you
know
like
how.
How
are
these
things
working
out?
And
you
know
what
kind
of
results
are
we
seeing
and
and
I
think
that
would
be
a
helpful
thing
that
and
and
that
takes
some
years
of
people-
I
mean
you
know,
especially
2021.
A
We
didn't
have
any
measures
like
that,
because
everybody
was
just
trying
to
function.
You
know
in
2021,
but
2022
our
agencies.
You
know
many
everybody
started
stabilizing
more
and
we're
going
to
see
that
and
I
think
that
that's
an
important
part
of
our
information
that
we
can
get
because
we're
not
just
saying
we're
funding
you
to
do
your
good
work.
As
Jessica
said
we're
saying
we're
asking
agencies
to
do
work
in
a
way
that
we're
saying
is
going
to
result
in
what
we
think
is
best
for.
B
C
Sad
Can
to
your
point:
I
can
post
the
slide.
The
slides
will
be
posted
on
the
Committee
website,
and
I
can
also
send
them
out
to
all
for
deeper
review.
Sarah
mentioned
and
she's
absolutely
correct.
We
do
have
template
versions
of
the
case
management
and
safety
net
applications
and
those
score
questions.
I
I
want
to
let
this
body
know
that,
even
though
we've
experienced
some
challenges
and
shifts
to
our
timeline,
we're
actually
absolutely
on
track
in
terms
of
where
other
recommending
bodies
have
been
in
this
time
period.
C
Typically
after
allocations
were
made
toward
the
end
of
the
Year,
everyone
would
take
a
collective
breath
and
then
around
March
April,
particularly
Mental
Health
Board,
would
would
review
the
applications
and
score
questions
to
really
see
what
we're
capturing,
how
we're
we're
assessing
performance
and
then,
whether
or
not
we
want
to
make
any
changes
in
terms
of
what
we're
capturing
for
the
next
application
cycle
and
and
Sarah
is
absolutely
correct.
We
are
on
a
two-year
cycle.
C
I
have
slides
that
talk
about
it,
but
we
do
have
not
only
the
time
to
have
these
conversations
around
what
what
we
want
to
measure
and
what
the
committee
would
like
to
look
at.
But
we
have
plenty
of
time
to
then
advertise
the
results
of
those
conversations
to
agencies
well
before
the
Fuller
application
for
2025,
which
doesn't
mean
that
we
won't
be
assessing
2023
results
moving
into
2024,
but
but
any
big
changes
would
would
happen
in
the
middle
of
2024
for
the
2025
application
cycle.
C
So
I
hope,
there's
comfort
in
in
this
idea
that
all
recommended
the
recommending
bodies
of
the
past.
You
know
take
this
time
in
Spring
to
review
the
application
and
and
the
assessments
and
before
we
we
move
topics.
I
I
still
am
a
little
bit
unsure
as
to
whether
or
not
we're
the
committee
is
going
to
form
a
working
group
or
send
suggestions
to
staff.
But
I
just
wanted
to
put
out
there
that
I
am
happy
to
work
with
this
group,
in
whatever
way
would
be
would
be
most
supportive
and
beneficial.
C
Send
me
emails,
anytime
or
a
form
of
working
group
and
and
we
can
move
forward
in
that
way
with
the
working
group
presenting
their
recommendations
at
our
next
meeting.
But
you
know,
let
me
know
what
I
can
do.
Thank
you.
B
E
So
I
am
not
volunteering
for
a
working
group
prior
to
the
next
so
committee
meeting.
B
A
Last
question
we
have
a
one
of
our
attendees
is
asking:
will
the
committee
meet
in
person
for
this
upcoming
process?
Discussion
and
I
just
wanted
to
note
that,
as
of
May,
we
have
we'll
be
going
back
to
in
person
for
sure,
but
the
com,
the
the
committee,
can
determine
whether
it
wants
to
have
the
April
meeting
virtual
or
whether
you
want
to
start
in
person.
So
I
didn't
want
to
respond
to
Patrick
for
you,
and
that
is
since
we
don't
have
a
all
members.
A
B
B
H
Yeah
I
think
remote.
Unless
you
know
Patrick
is
I
feel
like
sometimes
or
remote
has
been
made.
Meetings
more
accessible,
hopefully
to
from
people,
and
so
for.
A
topic
is
important
to
this.
I
think
I
will
go
with
the
with
remote,
because
it's
more
accessible
for
people
to
participate
and
join
wherever
they
are
so
I
think
one
more
remote
meeting
makes
sense
before
the
the
the
main
mandate
kicks
in
or
whatever.
A
Do
as
well
is
check
with
our
legal
staff
when
it
is
possible,
if
it's
in
your
rules
to
have
a
member
who
can't
come
in
person
attend
virtually
as
long
as
there
is
a
quorum,
and
so
those
are
things
that
I
think
we
have
to
follow
up
internally
to
see,
because
I
would,
if
we
could
maintain
that
flexibility
for
members
who
are
unable
to
come
in
person
as
long
as
we
have
Quorum
but
could
join
virtually.
That
would
be
good.
It
might
be
phone
virtual
only
because
we
don't
always
have
very
good.
