Excellent,
thank
you
so
much
all
right,
so
we
definitely
have
all
our
people
here.
I
just
wanted
to
note
that
representative
conley
did
reach
out
to
say
she
may
she
can't
be
here
on
her
laptop
she
may
be
able
to
phone
in,
but
she
may
not
have
a
phone
signal
to
be
able
to
do
so,
so
she
will
try
if
she
can
get
here,
but
we
thank
her
for
notifying
us
that
there
might
be
an
issue
with
attending
this
evening.
B
B
G
B
B
We
just
approved
the
minutes
and
we
are
on
to
item
4,
which
is
20
21,
208,
5,
arpa,
funding,
allocation
and
distribution
process,
and
mr
burt,
I'm
not
sure
if
you
want
to
take
this
over
if
you
want
to
turn
it
over
to
your
team,
but
I
had
a
quick
question
before
you
start:
can
you
please
let
this
body
know
if
you're
going
to
be
expecting
recommendations
from
us?
So
if
you
would
like
us
to
recommend
certain
things
this
evening
that
way
we
can
kind
of
have
that
in
our
head
as
we're
conferring.
C
And
we'll
need
guidance
on
this
first
one
on
this.
First,
let
me
turn
one
second
on
this.
First
one
we're
looking
at
doing
business
outreach,
bringing
in
some
key
business
leaders
sort
of
like
we
did
with
the
our
key
partners
for
nonprofits
we're
looking
at
probably
about
10
to
12
business
leaders
to
meet
with
the
group
planning
staff.
Let
me
pull
it
out.
Funding
staff
did
put
together
some
names
to
start
with.
C
If
you'd
like
me
to
go
over
those
again
we're
shooting
for
to
be
manageable
in
the
10
to
12
range,
here's
some
names
that
they
have
thrown
out
bruce
flax.
Since
he's
the
executive
director
of
the
mystic
chamber,
tony
sheridan,
adam
young
who's,
the
owner
of
sift
and
young
buns
dan
meiser,
the
owner
of
the
oyster
club,
chair
of
the
connecticut
restaurants,
association
aaron,
simon.
B
C
C
B
B
Thank
you.
Thank
you
for
joining
us,
ms
patrick.
Let
me
add
you
to
the
list.
Ms
patrick.
We
are
on
item
2021,
208,
5,
arpa,
funding,
allocation
distribution
process,
we're
on
the
first
item,
which
is
the
business
outreach
and
where
mr
burt
was
compiling
a
list
of
names
of
potential
businesses
to
invite.
So
that's
where
we
are
all
right,
counselor,
bob
gardner!
I
apologize
back
to
you.
G
G
G
Managing
their
businesses
have
been
really
hit
the
hardest
and
we've
seen
women
returning
to
the
workforce
at
a
much
lower
rate
than
we
would
certainly
like
to
to
see,
and
so
you
know
that
discussion,
I
think,
is
very
timely
and
important
here
in
groton,
and
so
you
know,
I'd
definitely
like
to
focus
our
intention
attention
to
the
businesses
that
are
really
most
in
need,
and
certainly
no
you
know.
The
names
you
mentioned
have
been
on
businesses.
G
That
really,
I
think,
have
you
know,
flourished
before
the
pandemic
and
were
hit
hard.
You
think
about
beard
and
when
they
opened
you
know
they
could
not
serve
food.
Therefore
you
know
they
had
to
remain
clothes
throughout
the
duration
of
covet
all
of
last
year
and
that
certainly
hit
them.
Luckily,
they,
you
know,
have
a
very
loyal
following
that
they've
cultivated
over
the
years
and
have
been
able
to
rebound
very
quickly,
but
not
not
all
throughout.
Our
town
have
been
able
to
share
that
success
story
as
well.
G
B
B
E
B
C
F
Thank
you.
I
think
this
is
a
a
really
well
done
list,
some
things
that
I
would
like
to
see
myself
and
looking
at
it
is
more
of
a
disbursement
of
the
style
of
business.
I
were
very
restaurant
heavy
on
this.
I
know
they
were
heavily
hit,
but
I
think
when
we
look
at
a
business
structure,
we
should
be
looking
at
businesses
as
a
whole
and
looking
at
not
only
restaurants
but
kind
of
collaborating
to
have
other
styles,
so
maybe
five
restaurants,
maybe
five
other
unique
style
businesses.
F
That
way,
we
really
paint
a
nice
picture
of
exactly
how
this
is
affecting
our
businesses,
not
just
the
restaurant
industry
heavily
which
they
have
been
hit
pretty
hard.
So
I
think,
looking
at
the
numbers,
I
would
like
to
see
a
little
bit
more
outreach
just
for
the
diversity
of
businesses
and
diversity
being
what
they
provide
for
service.
F
F
Yeah,
because
I
think
that
would
be
very
helpful
in
this.
This
is
another
example
where
that
database
and
having
a
place
to
pull
from
for
our
resources
and
knowing
our
businesses
in
our
community
versus
like
hey,
you
know,
joey
over
here
or
tom
over
there.
If
we
actually
compile
those
into
a
program,
we
would
be
able
to
pull
them
more
easily.
Thank
you.
I
I
Ccm
is
looking
to
partner
with
groton
and
new
london
to
help
in
developing
a
more
robust
database.
It's
a
statewide
problem.
Actually,
we
do
have
a
limited
database,
but
really
that's
gathered
through
an
old
approach,
basically
face-to-face
those
who
sign
up
for
explore
more
business
card
exchange,
those
types
of
things
we
know
we
have
not
captured
the
full
extent
of
businesses,
particularly
primary
contact
information,
so
we're
always
working
on
that
and
it
helps
on
when
we're
trying
to
reach
out
to
businesses
whether
it's
plastic
covered
information
about
arpa
funding
across
the
board.
I
So
that's
an
ongoing,
that's
an
ongoing
effort.
The
specific
point
that
I
had
wanted
to
make
is,
I
think
we
were
seeking
representatives
of
the
business
as
a
whole
in
groton,
so
it's
appropriate
to
have
businesses
come
and
speak
with
this
committee,
but
we
didn't
envision
that
we
were
capturing
all
businesses
at
this
given
time
at
this
level,
we
were
looking
for
basically
an
understanding
from
key
business
interests
as
to
what
they're
experiencing
what
are
the
problems.
We
know
about
labor
problems,
we
know
about
supply
chain
problems.
I
C
C
B
J
D
Thank
you,
madam
mayor.
I
just
wanted
to
really
echo
what
counselor
bumgardner
said
about
having
a
nice
diversity
of
you
know
and
who
is
being
asked
whether
it's
women
or
minority-owned
businesses,
I
think
that's
really
important.
I
did
I'd
like
to
get
a
copy
of
the
list
too.
If
that's
possible,
it
did
seem
a
little
heavy
on
mystic.
As
the
mayor
mentioned,
it
did
seem
heavy
on
non
on.
D
D
A
contractor,
and
also
a
landlord
and
unite
ct
has
you
know,
has,
is
a
slow,
difficult
process,
and
I
think
it
would
be
really
useful
for
this
group
and
others
to
hear
about
that,
because
that
program
from
what
I
have
heard
is
not
working.
As
you
know,
this
body
thinks
it
might
be,
there's
a
lot
of
money.
In
fact,
most
of
the
money
has
still
been
undispersed
because
of
procedural
problems
and
how
they
I
don't.
D
You
know
how
they
communicate
with
the
people
who
are
requesting
the
money
as
far
as
I
can
tell
so
I
I
do
think
it
would
be
good
to.
You
know,
make
sure
that
we
have.
You
know
the
variety
of
businesses,
although
I
hear
mr
bronk's
desire
to
just
have
a
few
main
ones.
I
think
you're
not
going
to
hear
about
all
the
needs
that
exist
unless
you
get
all
those
kinds
of
businesses
at
the
table.
C
H
H
H
I
think
we
could
get
a
much
better
perspective
from
them
and
I
think
it
would
round
out
the
group.
I
I
understand
that
everybody
has
had
problems,
but
I
think
we
need
to
be
talking
to
the
smaller
businesses
and
really
reaching
out
to
them
to
come.
In,
I
mean
I
know
myself.
I
own
a
business,
and
I've
had
no
success
with
things
that
I've
attempted
to
do
so,
but
that's
a
that's
a
different
thing,
but
I
think
we
need
smaller
female
owned
businesses
to
be
much
more.
H
B
B
I
Thank
you
just
to
clarify
yeah,
I'm
definitely
in
support
of
any
and
all
businesses.
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that's
clear.
I
just
wanted
to
clarify
that
our
initial
role
was
to
get
representation
from
business
groupings,
so
I
clearly
understand
that
we
want
to
do
something
more
than
restaurants
and
more
than
mystic.
I
support
that
another
name.
I'd
like
to
throw
out
there
is
it's
the
wildflower
salon
which
is
in
paquan,
but
you
know
to
some
degree
the
more
we
cherry
pick
individual
businesses,
the
more
we're
leaving
out.
F
Yes,
thank
you.
Yes,
it
would
be
helpful
to
have,
I
think,
moving
forward
as
we
progress
and
try
to
move
these
meetings
more
frequently.
Any
information
we
can
have
on
the
front
end
would
be
helpful,
so
the
list
of
those
businesses
might
have
triggered
some
of
these
thoughts
prior
to,
and
it
might
have
also
then
segued
into
some
bringing
names
to
put
forward.
F
I
can
respect
the
fact
that
you
stated
tonight
that
you
want
to
have
a
small
quaint
group
and
that's
why
the
importance
of
eight
restaurants
or
five
restaurants,
if
we're
only
going
to
have
10
or
15,
we
want
to
bring
some
others
in,
but
I
think
to
to
bring
in
businesses.
We
need
to
be
advertising
that
we
should
have
been.
You
know,
advertising
utilizing.
We
have
so
much
social
media
at
our
disposal.
F
Those
are
things
that
can
be
done
again
on
the
back
end
before
this
meeting
with
the
list
that
you
guys
have
generated,
but
an
all
call
out
there
so
that
I
could
share
it.
Other
folks
can
share
it.
We
all
are
kind
of
looking
and
conquering
the
town
as
a
whole,
but
I
think
it's
really
important
to
have
small
business
represented
here
in
a
diverse
tapestry
of
folks
in
their
individual.
I
think
of
the
yarn
lady
that
does
the
yarn
shop.
F
I
think
you
know
I
know
counselor
obery
brought
up
the
boots,
there's
tons
of
things,
and
I
can
respect
the
fact
that
we're
looking
at
what
orders
and
supplies,
as
was
stated
before
by
mr
bronc.
But
if
you
look
at
a
restaurant
supply
issue,
it's
not
going
to
be
the
same
as
the
yarn,
lady
or
the
boot
person
or
this
person.
So
I
think
it's
important
that
we
have
all
that
representation,
because
everyone's
been
affected
differently
and
we're
going
to
find
gaps
and
trends
and
holes
where
other
people
actually
did
quite
well
during
covet.
F
I
We
actually
get
copies
of
all
of
the
paperwork
that
comes
through
the
clerk's
office,
but
not
all
of
it,
so
we
do
caption,
but
that's
not
always
the
best
primary
email
address.
Surprisingly
and
oftentimes.
If
it's
an
llc
corporation,
we
don't
necessarily
get
the
primary
data,
it's
helpful.
We
do
capture
it,
but
it's
a
small
fraction
of
the
whole
there's
a
huge
gap.
I
We
have
roughly
1500
businesses
in
town,
of
course,
not
all
bricks
and
mortar,
but
we
only
have
a
several
hundred
businesses
in
our
database
and
that
rely
on
in
terms
of
what
their
address
is.
What
their
name
is,
what
their
email
is,
so
we
don't.
We
don't
have
as
robust
to
the
system
as
we
would
like
and,
like
I
said,
that's
a
statewide
problem
and
ccm
is
helping
with
that.
F
So
when
they
come
in
and
they
address
themselves
as
a
business
and
they're
paying
taxes,
they
have
an
address
for
taxes.
So
maybe
it
might
be
a
mail
outreach
initially,
but
I
would
think
there
might
be
a
way
to
utilize
some
of
that
information
we're
getting
because
they're
paying
taxes
correct
or
no.
F
So
yes,
but
the
contact
is
there,
so
I
looked
at
another.
I
asked
another
like
just
looked
at
another
town
where,
like
with
the
paid
things
and
how
do
they
capture
and
they're,
saying
they
capture
them
because
they
pay
taxes
to
the
town,
so
if
they
don't
have
an
email
on
file
and
they
pay
their
taxes.
When
you
send
that
bill
out,
you
can
send
a
flyer
in
that
envelope
asking
there
are
better
ways
to
contact
them
for
that.
F
C
C
Well,
we
need
now
to
talk
about
the
timing.
If
we
try
to
do
this
in
two
weeks
where
it's
gonna
be
hard,
I
think
to
get
a
good
representation,
we
might
need
a
little
more
time
than
that.
We
could
do
it,
but
I
don't
know
if
it'll
be
as
good
as
waiting
just
a
little
bit
longer,
but
what's
the
committee's
wishes
for
holding
it.
C
B
C
B
F
Yes
want
to
make
sure
because
then
you
have
other
things
to
get
through
and
I
want
to
make
sure
I'm
in
the
right
spot.
You
have
an
opinion
on
the
timing,
but
of
course
I
do
yes,
I
think
it's
really
important
that
we
are
working
on
the
back
end
on
this
to
come
in
and
have
one
thing
I
heard
is
folks
want
relief
and
they
need
it
and
to
wait
three
more
weeks
to
come
up
with
names.
I
feel
we're
meeting
more
frequently,
but
we're
not
doing.
F
There's
folks
on
here
that
you
know
that
could
be
contacting
each
other.
Like
like
moderator
evan
said
she
didn't.
Have
the
number
names
sierra
didn't
have
the
names
I
didn't
have
the
names
of
shops,
so
I'm
just
trying
to
figure
out
a
way
to
move
this
along
a
little
faster,
because
while
we
sit
here,
another
three
weeks
will
pass
and
our
intentions
are
great
but
we're
not
moving
along
just
to
get
names.
F
C
We
just
put
this
list
together
today
we
are
meeting
rather
quickly,
but
the
reason
the
agenda
packet
also
has
the
meat
of
it
in
there
is
so
you
can
get
thinking
about
it
too,
so
we
were
doing
our
part
of
the
homework.
We
expect
other
people
to
read
those
agenda
packs
and
do
the
same
thing
and
come
to
the
meeting.
So
it's
not
just
on
our
shoulders,
but
we
will
be
on
october,
6,
actually
having
people
here.
G
Yeah,
I
was
just
about
to
say
on
not
on
the
timing
of
the
meeting.
Just
one
more
point
about
you
know
who
he
can
reach
out
to
and
you
know
before
then
you
know
different
business
groups
and
and
resources
on
how
to
get
the
information
I'm
sure
in
in
mayor
hedrick.
I'm
sure
he
can
do
this
but
reach
out
to
groton
utilities
to
get
a
list
of
folks
who
you
know,
businesses
that
are
utility
customers
very
handy,
listed
that
the
utilities
wouldn't
mind
you
know
submitting
to
support.
C
B
D
C
F
I
think
we
should
take
a
consensus
on
that
feeling,
because
I
don't
know
that
I
can
support
that.
First,
I
would
like
to
see
20
to
25.
second,
so
before
before
we
move
forward
with
that.
Second,
I
think,
if
we're
going
to
limit
it,
we
should
be
reaching
out
and
saying
here's
our
time
frame
in
which
we'd
like
to
hear
from
you
back
by
it's
going
to
be
a
small
claim
group.
F
But
please
submit
your
suggestions
and
concerns,
and
this
group
should
have
a
email,
that's
generated
with
what
the
need
is
that
we're
going
to
be
asking
these
folks
so
that
they
can
send
an
email
and
that
can
be
just
as
powerful
and
that's
still
allowing
the
voice
to
be
present
and
have
a
say
of
where
they're
having
trouble.
So
I
just
would
encourage
as
much
as
we
want
to
have
a
15
body
representation.
F
I
think
that
really
could
limit
our
service
and
our
span
of
what
we're
here
to
do
and
I
think,
allowing
folks
to
be
able
to
email.
So
is
there
a
spreadsheet
or
a
form
that
we're
going
to
send
or
what
questions
are
you
guys
thinking
before
we
move
the
topic?
I
think
that's
really
important,
and
do
we
all
agree
that
it
should
only
be
15.?
Is
that
a
couple
people
is
that
the
whole
body?
I
I
think
it's
important
to
be
a
part
of
this
group.
F
B
B
B
B
With
this
plan
for
the
initial
meeting
of
the
small
group
followed
by
additional
meetings
that
will
be
broader,
we
also
need
to
talk
about
the
near-term
funding,
make
a
decision
on
that,
and
we
also
have
to
talk
about
the
public
outreach
process,
so
our
staff
has
been
working
behind
the
scenes.
This
is
their
job.
This
is
what
they
do
all
day.
B
H
D
Patrice
I
I
mean
I
I'm
sorry
to
just
bust
in,
but
I
I
think
in
my
comments
I
made
clear
what
I
thought,
which
is
I
do
think
there
needs
to
be
greater
diversity.
You
know
racial
diversity,
gender
diversity.
I
do
think
there
needs
to
be
greater
diversity
in
terms
of
the
sector,
the
business
sectors
that
are
invited
so
that
you
hear
from
landlords
and
contractors
and
beauty
salons,
and
you
know
small
retail
owners.
So
you
know
grocery
stores.
Perhaps
so
you
know
liquor
stores,
I
I
guess
I
am.
D
B
C
Yeah
we
just
want
we
in
order
to
start
the
phase
one
we
need
to.
We
just
want
some
ideas
of
what
some
of
the
issues
are
out
there
before
we
get
into
the
meat
of
things
everybody's
throwing
out.
I
want
10
000
for
this.
We
just
we
want
some
people
with
some
broad
diversity
who
hit
different
areas,
preferably
that
just
tell
us
feed
us
what
they're
hearing
just
like
council
members
hear
things.
C
People
in
some
of
these
positions
hear
things
and
they
can
give
us
a
broad
range
just
so
we
can
kind
of
get
that
in
mind
as
we're
actually
going
into
the
real
outreach,
but
we
totally
here
we'll
make
sure.
There's
a
diverse
group,
totally
hear
that,
and
you
know
as
if
you
give
us
the
leeway
as
we
see
what
names
people
come
up
with,
maybe
it
will
grow
a
little
bit.
C
B
C
This
sort
of
a
races
there
takes
the
place
of
the
term
emergency
funding
because
some
of
what
we're
seeing
we've
talked
about
needing
a
pot
of
money
that
is
available
more
quickly
rather
than
waiting
through
a
whole
process,
and
we've
already
seen
some
of
this
we've
seen
ledge
light.
We've
seen
the
cog
we'll
hear
from
marge
fondula
slater
see
what
her
needs
are,
but
I
want
money
available
for
also
her
department.
C
So
if
there's,
if
we
suddenly
have
an
influx,
I
know
we
haven't
seen
it
at
this
point,
but
if
we
see
an
influx
of
evictions
and
other
things,
you
know
money
money
that
the
council
already
has
set
aside
for
these
things
and
that
they
can
draw
in
for
if
they
get
other
requests.
We
know
we're.
Gonna
need
money
for
a
position
for
the
town
for
the
net,
we'll
call
it
the
navigator
position
just
because
that's
what
the
cog
called
it.
C
But
so
what
we
would
like
to
do
is
get
a
recommendation
from
this
group
for
an
amount
of
money
to
recommend
to
the
council
to
set
aside
for
those
dollars
that
the
council
and
rtm
could
approve
uses
as
they
come
up
if
needed,
to
bypass
the
whole
application
process.
So
we've
spent
we've
already
committed
86
000-ish
for
the
navigator
position
or
for
the
for
the
ledge
light
we've
done,
56
000
for
the
navigator
or
for
the
yeah
navigator.
C
C
B
I
Thank
you.
I
think
staff
has
been
asked
repeatedly
how
we
can
expedite
things
and
clearly
we're
concerned
about
ensuring
we
meet
federal
requirements,
we're
seeing
other
municipalities
that
may
be
handing
out
funds
quicker,
but
our
questions
are
what
are
the
needs
and
are
they
necessarily
complying
with
the
federal
requirements
and,
ultimately,
the
reporting
requirement.
So,
just
as
a
recap,
we
believe
it's
important
to
go
through
this
needs
assessment.
C
And
mayor
you
know,
I
was
going
to
have
marge,
do
an
update
of
course
later,
but
maybe
she
wants
to
touch
on.
I
just
I
just
heard
from
her
in
the
last
day
that
they
haven't
seen
the
influx
yet,
but
I
wanted
to
kind
of
hear
her
thoughts
on
an
amount
just
for
the
human
services
portion
that
might
be
possibly
needed
in
the
short
term.
B
H
I'm
fine.
Thank
you
very
much.
Oh,
I
guess
I
would
say
I
understand
what
paige
was
trying
to
do,
and
I
recognized
that
because
he
was
bringing
on
people
that
spoke
for
a
logic
group,
and
I
think
that
was
excellent
and
I
hope
some
of
those
people
will
still
be
part
of
it
and
then
balance
it
with
some
of
the
smaller
businesses.
B
C
You
just
sent
me
an
update
on
where
you're
at
on
things
in
the
last
two
days.
I
believe,
if
you
just
kind
of
want
to
recap
that
and
then
what
you
think
our
potential
needs
you
see
coming
up,
even
if
you
don't
know
for
sure
it's
going
to
hit
what
you
think
might
be
an
amount
of
money
we
would
want
to
set
aside
just
in
case
to
cover
that
you
know
we
can
always
add
on
to
it.
You
know
I,
you
know
just
have
at
least
a
decent
starting
spot
for
human
services.
L
Well,
I
had
initially
responded
to
an
email
that
john
reiner
had
sent
asking
department
heads
to
spell
out
if
they
could,
what
specific
areas
they
might
need
to
utilize.
Some
of
the
arpa
funding
for-
and
I
had
responded
to
him-
that
the
funds,
as
I
see
them,
could
supplant
some
of
the
monies
that
we
currently
have
in
our
donations.
Trust
fund
in
our
groton
utilities,
assistance
fund
in
various
other
funds
that
we
currently
use
to
assist
people.
L
If
we
could
supplant
some
of
those
monies
with
the
arpa
funding,
then
that
would
of
course
preserve
the
funding
that
we
have
available,
that
we
normally
have
to
rely
on
for
the
future
which,
when
we're
not
going
to
have
this
extra
funding
available.
So
that
was
one
thought
I
had
we.
Certainly
we
were
assisting
people
continuously
with
rents,
mortgage
not
mortgages,
primarily
rents
and
utilities
and
fuel
assistance,
and
occasionally
extraneous
costs
to
help
them
with
work
related
expenses,
either
job
search,
expenses
or
or
actual
employment,
related
expenses,
transportation,
etc.
L
The
arpa
funding
help
with
such
things
as
child
care,
which
is
something
that
we
don't
normally
have
the
ability
to
to
get
involved
with,
because
we
don't
have
the
resources,
so
there
are
areas
that
we
could
help
with
in
addition
to
what
we
currently
do,
that
would
help
people
with
their
job
search
their
entry
into
employment,
retaining
their
the
roof
over
their
head,
whether
it's
an
apartment,
a
house
whatever,
and
helping
with
the
transportation
costs,
etc.
I
had
figured
out
well.
L
L
We
are
getting
about
a
little
less
than
the
average
number
of
requests
for
utility
payments
and
we're
not
sure
if
this
is
because
people
are
still
they're
getting
through
the
food
stamp
or
the
snap
program
they're
getting
an
extra
benefit
for
basing
the
number
of
children
in
the
family.
There
are
still
some
resources
that
have
been
available
to
people
through
stimulus
or
whatever.
L
I
think
I
just
read
recently
too
that
there's
going
to
be
another
stimulus
payment
going
out.
I
may
be
mistaken,
but
I
thought
I
had
read
that
so
at
any
rate,
we're
not
we're
not
quite
sure
what
is
happening,
but
we're
not
getting
a
lot
of
eviction
notices
either
we're
not
getting
on
anywhere
near
than
we
would
normally
get.
C
C
L
C
And
then
also
keep
in
mind
that
we're
looking
at
maybe
a
cdbg
style
program
to
also
help
people
with
their
home
things,
which
would
also
run
through
the
plantings
type
style
of
cdbg
process
too.
And
if
we're
talking
some
of
these
dollars,
we
might
we're
probably
starting
to
look
at
using
a
whole
lot
of
our
funds
between
these
couple
programs.
If
we
were
looking
at
these
kind
of
dollars,.
B
C
I
don't
think
it'll,
be
you
know
as
long
as
we're
tracking
as
the
money's
given
out.
I
don't
think
the
reporting
after
the
fact
will
be
too
difficult.
We
just
want
to
make
sure
we're
we're
all
following
the
same
procedures,
we're
all
tracking
the
same
abiding
by
the
rules.
That's
part
of
why
we
need
that
navigator
position
is
to
be
more
of
an
expert
on
these
things.
C
K
I
think
so
I
think
I
have
enough.
If
you
guys
can
hear
me,
there
is
discussion.
I
we
had
today
in
the
house
in
the
senate
about
extending
the
governor's
executive
orders,
which
would
have
to
happen
by
the
30th
of
september,
and
I
think
folks
are
still
having
that
discussion.
That
would
extend
the
unite
ct
program
longer,
so
we
are
in
flux,
but
hopefully
the
next.
Before
your
next
meeting.
We
have
that
solid
update
for
you.
D
Thank
you.
Thank
you,
miss
fondulas,
for
that
I
guess
what
I'm
missing
in
that.
I
think
for
one.
I
think
that
you're,
the
word
you
really
want
is
not
supplant,
but
augment
at
least
I'm
hoping.
That's
what
you
mean.
So
you
want
to
augment
these
funds,
but
what
I
prefer
to
hear
for
this
type
of
short-term
needs
assessment.
D
D
I
give
money
to
those
funds,
you
know
for
food,
and
you
know
I
I
never
actually
know
what
happens
to
it,
which
is
fine,
but
I'm
hoping
that
it's
filling
a
need
that
folks
in
groton
have,
and
so
it
would
be
useful
to
have
that
kind
of
data
of
how
many
families
are
applying
you
mentioned.
Hardly
any
families
are
looking
for
utility
help,
rent
help
and
even
food
help.
So
so
that's
one
part
of
my
question
is:
if
you
could
embed
it
in
a
little
empirical
data.
That
would
be
helpful.
For
me.
D
The
second
part
is
that
you
said
50
000
for
six
months
and
just
doing
the
math
on
your
numbers.
It
would
come
out
closer
to
133
000
if
those
those
numbers
that
you
gave
us
are
what
you
believe
to
be
true,
because
that's
half
of
a
third
of
the
800
thousand
dollar
value,
so
I'm
not
sure
where
the
50
000
comes
from
so
again
a
little
if
we
could
get
a
little
more
data,
I'm
happy
to
support
it,
but
I
would
just
love
to
know
what
it's
based
on
thanks.
C
I
think
that's
a
totally
valid
point,
and
also
I
want
to
keep
in
mind,
though
we
also
want
money
that
doesn't
have
to
go
through
the
long
process
so
that,
if
we
start
suddenly
getting
evictions,
there
are
money
on
hand
that
the
council
or
others
can
tap
into.
So
I
think
it's
a
bit
of
both
what's
needing
now
or
what's
anticipated
for
potential
needs
sort
of
like
having
a
fund
balance.
B
L
L
We
are
not
dependent
on
the
arpa
funding
to
continue
our
program,
the
the
assistance
we
give
is
it
it's.
We
limit
the
assistance
because
we
are
trying
to
stretch
the
funds.
Indeed,
we
had
the
spicer
fund,
for
I
don't
know
how
many
years
20
some
odd
years
of
the
spicer
fund,
that
stretched
the
the
that
trust
fund.
L
As
to
the
last
penny-
and
we
are
very
used
to
working
with
the
clients
to
say,
okay,
we
are
going
to
be
able
to
pay
such
and
such
on
your
bill,
but
you
are
are
going
to
need
to
come
up
with
the
balance.
That's
due
and
people
are
able
to
do
that
and
that-
and
they
understand
that
there
are
limited
funds
available
with
this
funding.
L
It
is
I
I
I've
been
sort
of
in
a
quandary
as
to
what
exactly
the
town
wants
me
to
do
with
it.
As
far
as
the
the
we
could
take.
If
you
gave
us
ten
thousand,
we
would
we
would
stretch
it
as
as
far
as
we
possibly
could.
If
you
gave
us
a
hundred
thousand,
we
would
still
stretch
it
as
far
as
we
possibly
could.
I
I
don't
know
what
the
town's
wishes.
L
We're
not
sure
exactly
what's
what
additional
funding
is
going
to
be
coming,
so
I
I
feel
right
now,
as
if
I'm
I'm
I'm
working
with
with
with
some
guesstimates
more
so
than
actual
numbers
and
and
our
actual
numbers
can
change.
That's
the
one
thing
about
our
department
is
that
we
can
have
no
business
one
week
or
not
no
business.
But
very
you
know
few
clients
one
week
and
the
next
week
see
many
more
people
it
and
and
there's
not
necessarily
any
rhyme
or
reason
to
it.
It's
people's
individual
circumstances.
C
And
mayor,
I
would
say
that
you
know
part
of
this
is
just
that
not
necessarily
direct
all
these
dollars
to
a
particular
purpose.
At
this
point,
it's
a
pot
that
the
council
and
rtm
can
tap
into,
so
it
doesn't
even
have
to
be
put
towards
human
services.
At
this
point
it
could
just
be
what
amount
generally
do
you
want
to
have
it
on
hand
just
in
case,
and
then
you
vote
on
it
as
needs
come
up.
Thank.
F
Thank
you.
I
too
think
having
a
little
bit
of
data.
I
think
it
would
be
important
moving
forward
to
have
some
type
of
numbers
that
we
can
use
in
the
future
and
have
when
we're
looking
into
our
budget
season
as
well.
Currently
we're
looking
at
you
know,
pandemic
issues.
Do
we
currently
have
gas
assistance
as
well
like?
I
know
I
referred
a
client
and
they
said
that
the
church
they
had
to
call
the
church
and
the
church
gave
them
a
gas
card.
L
Some
vouchers
for
food
also
some
gift
cards
for
food,
but
that
is
what
we
use
primarily
when
we
have
someone
that
is
in
need
of
of
gasoline
and
church
does
refer
people
to
us,
but
they
also.
We
also
have
permission
from
the
ecumenical
council
to
use
that
fund.
If
we
have
someone
that
was
not
referred
by
the
church,
but
someone
that
the
social
workers
are
working
with
that
needs
gasoline
assistance.
F
Okay,
so
it's
kind
of
a
little
more
discretionary
because
all
right
and
then
the
other
things
and
just
look
at
the
needs
and
accessibility,
because
the
fluctuation
is
there
curbside
pickup
available
where
we're.
If
people
are
handicapped
or
immune
compromised
that
we're
bringing
the
food
out
to
them.
F
F
As
it's
been
called,
this
is
one
we
really
need
to
narrow
down,
and
I
think
we
really
need
to
bring
some
more
data
and
I
heard
tonight
respect
the
staff
and
what
they
bring
and
it's
no
disrespect
as
a
counselor
to
ask
questions,
because,
as
at
the
end
of
the
day
in
the
community,
I'm
elected
to
ask
questions
of
my
staff
of
our
community
on
behalf
of
our
community
and
that's
not
an
insult,
that's
a
way
of
collaboration
and
working
together.
So
I
feel
in
this
department
we
need
a
little
bit
more
work.
F
We
need
some
more
numbers,
more
information,
more
collaborative
efforts
like
talking
about
like
how
we
get
the
funds
into
the
hands
of
the
folks
that
need
it,
the
most
and
so
for
that
I
I
would
like
to
see
how
we
can
generate
some
more
topics
of
discussion
and
really
pick
this
apart
on
a
more
in
depth,
in-depth
level
to
make
sure
we're
meeting
the
needs.
Some
of
the
things
that
I
read
from
outside
services
that
I
saw
people
needing
in
the
code
with
pandemic
relief
that
were
losing
funds
was
helping.
F
People
buy
a
bicycle
to
get
to
work.
You
know
25
30,
100,
there's
like
it
should
be
a
broad
spectrum
of
thought
process
here
when
looking
at
the
needs
for
folks
in
this
area.
This
is
the
bread
and
butter.
As
some
would
say,
this
is
the
make
or
break.
This
is
the
part
of
the
town
where
we
really
should
be
putting
our
the
most
emphasis
on,
because
we're
talking
about
quality
of
life,
not
about
what
we
can
do
with
infrastructure
in
other
areas
in
our
town.
F
That's
also
important,
but
this
is
really
important
to
me.
So
is
there
a
way
that
we
can
map
this
collaborate
brainstorm,
maybe
for
the
next
meeting.
I
know
we
have
a
plan
for
the
businesses,
but
how
do
we
wrap
this
in
to
make
sure
you
know
the
folks?
One
of
the
needs
that
I
just
wanted
to
address
was
a
person
who
was
not.
I.
D
F
Up,
please
the
the
person
of
interest
that
I'm
speaking
on
behalf
of
tonight,
that
I
helped
they
had
to
leave
because
of
a
mold
issue
and
they
had
nowhere
to
go
and
they
were
living
in
low
income
housing
and
I
helped
them
refer
to
this
department
and
everybody
was
extremely
professional
and
very
helpful,
but
one
of
the
needs
that
was
met.
They
put
them
in
a
hotel
that
had
no
no
cooking
facilities.
F
So
one
of
the
needs
I'd
like
to
address
in
this
area
is
making
sure
that
we
have
microwavable
foods
and
foods
that
they
were
giving
them
like
pasta
and
other
things,
and
we
need
to
think
also
outside
the
box
of
having
a
separate
need.
Maybe
for
people
who
can't
cook
and
don't
have
stove
tops.
This
person
had
exhausted
all
of
their
funding
going
to
food,
pantries
and
soup
kitchens
on
gas.
F
B
Right
very
good,
so
what
we
need
to
do,
I
know,
there's
an
urgency
to
get
money
into
the
hands
of
people
as
you've
stated
several
times,
and
we
agree
with
you
on
that.
But
in
order
to
do
that,
this
body
needs
to
recommend
to
the
council
who
then
has
to
allocate
the
funding.
So
we
need.
We
need
an
idea
tonight,
whether
you're
comfortable
with
the
50
grand
50
000,
I'm
sorry,
the
50
000
that
director
fonduelas
is
suggesting
mr
burt.
B
C
Well,
I
think
the
you
know
you
may
now.
This
is
based
on
what
I've
been
hearing
early.
What
we've
all
heard
earlier
from
this
group
that
we
want
some
flexibility.
We
know
we
already
have
to
set
aside
the
86
000
to
56
000.
However
much
we're
going
to
need
for
our
own
position,
you
know
so
we
need
whatever
amount
we
set.
It's
going
to
have
to
include
all
those
three
things:
50
000
or
whatever
it's
for
this,
but
you're,
probably
gonna
want
a
little
more
than
that
too.
C
Now,
unless
we're
going
to
change,
how
we've
been
talking
about
things,
new
programs,
we've
talked
about
using
an
application
process.
So
right
now
we're
talking
about
existing
programs
in
terms
of
empirical,
it
seems
to
me
I
don't
know
march.
Do
you
track?
I
think
now
is
not
the
time
to
be
too
stingy
with
the
dollars.
So
let's
say
you
give
do
you
track?
How
much
is
requested
for
each
person
versus
how
much
is
given?
C
You
know,
it'd
be
nice
to
know
what
that
what
what
the
difference
is
between
that
and
let's
say
you
usually
give
out
limits
at
500.
Well,
do
you
have
a
recommendation
that
there's
typically
in
a
given
month?
We
do
this
number
of
you
know
this
number
of
electric
assistance,
blah
blah
blah
at
this
amount
each
and
that
so,
if
you
average
that
out,
we
want
to
double
that
and
then
six
months
of
that
you
know
there
might
be
a
way
to
come
up
with
those
dollars
based
on
past
history
as
a
starting
point.
L
L
The
amount
of
rent,
that's
owed
or
the
utility
bill
that
is
owed,
it's
a
it's
a
portion
of
that
payment
that
is
owed,
and
we
only
pay
that
400
after
the
client
has
come
up
with
the
balance
that
is
due
and
then
we
tell
say
groton
utilities
that
we
will
pay
the
400
after
the
client
has
paid.
The
balance
that
is
is
owed
on
the
account
rents
are
phenomenally
higher
than
400,
so
we
are
paying
a
portion
of
what
is
what
is
owed
on
various
bills.
C
Now
yeah
that's
great
and
I
think
that's
the
intent
is
to
get
more
money
to
them,
but
I
think
what's
helpful
is
do
you
know,
though?
Can
you
go
back
and
see
how
much
was
requested?
What
was
the?
What
was
the
individual's
match
to
get
that
400
for
for
rent?
What
did
you
do
for
utilities,
that
type
of
thing
so
that
we
could
know
some
past
history,
so
we
could
extrapolate
a
reasonable
number
for
a
six
month
period.
B
So
I
I
would
ask
that
we
can
find
our
remarks
to
a
dollar
amount,
because
there
is
going
to
be
a
lag
in
process
like
we
have
to
make
the
recommendation.
We,
we
being
the
council,
has
to
have
a
meeting
and
it's
it's
going
to
take
some
time.
So
if,
if
we
delay
this
further
coming
out
of
this
body,
then
it's
just
going
to
delay
further
when
it
gets
into
the
hands
of
the
people
who
are
coming
to
director
fonduels
for
help.
B
D
Thank
you,
madam
mayor,
I
did
I
I
was
going
to
propose
a
number
and
I
think
I
liked
mr
burt's
idea
of
having
a
pot
that
you
know
was
going
to.
You
know
just
sit
there
and
isn't
necessarily
your
mark
for
specific
needs,
so
I
was
going
to
say
just
based
on
miss
fonduelas's
data
or
rather
lack
of
data,
but
the
numbers
that
she
gave
us
that
may
be
150
000,
something
like
that
might
be
the
pot,
but
I
I
do
want
to
stress
that.
Personally.
D
D
What
is
the
need
and
more
specifically,
what
is
the
unmet
need
and
that's
what
I
really
want
to
know
how
many
people
are
coming
to
ask
what
are
their
needs,
irrespective
of
what
your
limits
are
or
what
your
financial
you
know,
current
financial
limits
are
so
I
think
that
would
make
me
feel
better,
but
I
think
150
150
000,
would
be
a
pop
big
enough.
You
know
just
based
on
the
numbers
that
miss
fondulas
gave
it
would
be
133.
D
C
B
D
B
C
C
Right,
there's
400
000..
If
you
count
the
two
that
have
already
been
you've
already
approved
at
the
council
level,
though
the
86
and
the
56
and
then
rtm
has
done
the
ledge
light,
but
not
the
cog.
Yet
that's
coming!
That's
gonna
go
to
committee
soon.
I
believe
for
the
rtn,
so
f400
would
be
with
those
numbers
in
there.
Just
you
know.
So
you
could
you
know
back
those
out
for
if
you're
talking
additional
dollars,
so
so
you'd
be
talking
and
then,
but
is
there
any
you
know?
C
B
I
I
am
more
comfortable
with
a
higher
number
to
be
able
to
respond
quickly
to
people
than
a
smaller
number
and
for
having
people
to
jump
through
tons
of
hoops.
I
understand
there's
going
to
be
documentation,
no
matter
what,
but
personally
I
I
would.
I
could
support
moderator,
evan
and
definitely
support
what
you
just
said,
mr
burt
counselor
borland.
Could
you
speak
to
the
amount
that
you
would
like
to
see?
Please.
B
F
Understand
that
I
was
my
clarifying
point,
was
the
400
for
the
individual
to
kind
of
make
sure
the
number
I
was
thinking,
because
I
think
that's
so
yeah.
I
can
support
what
some
moderator
evans
had
stated
for
the
150,
maybe
the
500
000
for
the
total
pot,
because
I
do
think
it's
important
that
folks
that
are
trying
to
meet
the
need.
They
need
to
be
able
to
generate
a
positive
revenue
and
so
for
stretching
funds
and
saying
you
only
can
get
this
much
because
we're
trying
to
make
a
little
bit
go
really
far.
F
It's
causing
financial
stress
on
that
on
those
folks,
and
so,
if
they're
not
meeting
the
full
need,
they're
they're,
never
getting
a
hat,
and
that's
one
of
the
things
of
folks
in
need.
Who
need
financial
support
that
we're
finding.
So
looking
at
that
pot
of
500
000,
it's
really
important
because
that
400
for
the
year,
or
only
paying
partial
this
if
you're,
only
making
x
amount
of
dollars
you're
never
getting
ahead.
And
the
hope
is
that
you
want
people
to
be
able
to
have
a
little
bit
of
a
positive
revenue
on
their
next
paycheck.
F
So
being
able
to
pay
off
a
bill
in
its
entirety
could
really
take
the
stress
and
emotional
stress
off
of
somebody,
so
I
could
support
those
numbers
of
the
500
and
have
things
move
in
a
fashion
that
would
support
that.
But
again,
I
think
having
the
data
in
the
future
would
be
very
helpful.
Thank
you.
C
And
we
will,
we
will
bring
this
back
for
further
discussion
to
his
details
and
I
want
to
make
sure
as
private
500
we
have
money.
We
might
start
talking
businesses
and
learn,
there's
a
hugely
pressing
need
that
we
need
to
meet
right
now.
So
that's
part
of
the
reason
to
have
the
the
buffer
is.
If
something
else
like
that
comes
up.
C
I
Thank
you,
my
my
simple
comment
was
that
I
did
recommend
a
buffer
somewhat
of
a
contingency,
so
we're
we're
doing
our
best
to
understand
what
the
needs
are.
We're
clearly
talking
about
short-term
or
urgent
needs,
but
human
services-
that's
probably
the
lion's
share,
but
maybe
it's
not
all,
and
as
mr
burr
was
saying
you
know,
maybe
there
are
some
business
needs
and
I'm
not
advocating
specifically
for
that,
but
it
could
be
a
category
that
we're
unaware
of
at
this
point.
That
would
also
fall
in
that
bucket.
C
And
one
thing
to
mention
too,
is
we've
received
half
the
money.
I
think
that
was
late
mid-june.
I
think
it
was
if
I'm
not
mistaken,
as
we
get
towards
that
next
cycle
too,
we
can
always
add
more
near-term
dollars
on
as
we're
programming
things
out,
so
it
doesn't
mean
you
know
there.
This
can
certainly
be
adjusted
later.
It's
really
just
to
get
right
through
the
immediate
need.
B
Okay,
very
good,
so
then
the
other
thing
we
need
to
bring
to
council
is
the
public
outreach
process.
I'm
assuming
we
have
to
bring
all
three
of
these
things
or
the
two
things
together
to
counsel
in
order
to
get
the
ball
rolling
right,
okay,
so
then
we
need
to
decide.
We
need
to
hear
about
the
amended
flow
chart.
I'm
assuming
mr
can
put
it
together
and
then
we
have
to
decide
if
we're
ready
to
send
that
forward
to
council
in
order
to
get
this
going
and
get
money
in
people's
hands.
So.
F
I
have
a
quick
point
of
clarification
before
we
move
to
the
next
topic.
What
is
it
other
towns
have
already
started
to
allocate
these
funds,
and
I
just
want
to
make
sure
the
500
looking
at
our
density
and
population
compared
to
some
of
the
other
municipalities
that
have
started
to
allocate
funds.
I
just
wanted
to
ask
the
town
manager,
where
are
we
standing
and
what
some
of
those
other
towns
have
put
forward
in
this
department.
C
It's
all
over
the
place
and
what
you're
seeing
in
some
places
is
they
put
out
plans
and
then
they
started
pulling
back
on
it
like
in
norwich.
It's
really,
whatever
you
think
is
appropriate
for
your
own
town.
I
think
500
is
the
minimum.
I
would
not
be
adverse
to
having
a
little
more
buffer.
Whatever
you
know,
whatever
people
think.
F
C
B
The
other
thing
is
this
is
a
recommendation
from
the
long-term
recovery
committee,
but
the
council's
going
to
make
the
decision
then
we're
going
to
hand
it
off
to
the
rtm.
So
it's
it's
got
to
go
through
a
long
process,
so
I'm
eager
to
get
it
out
there
enrolling
so
that
we
can
make
the
money
available.
Are
you
turning
it
over
to
ms
harkin
for
the
flowchart.
B
M
Okay,
so
this
flow
chart
hasn't
changed
too
much
from
what
you
saw
at
the
last
meeting
other
than
we've
added
some
dates
to
it,
and
we've
also
added
the
bucket
of
identification
of
near-term
needs.
So
it
starts
off
on
the
blue,
with
the
needs
assessment
phase
one
and
that
needs
assessment
is
starting
already.
We've
already
met
with
people.
We've
we've
signed
the
contract
for
being
the
table,
the
engagement
platform
and
we're
working
on
trainings.
As
we
speak.
M
M
Information
at
the
senior
center
at
the
library
at
the
community
center
talked
about
signage
at
major
intersections
with
the
link
information
if
they
want
to
give
more
feedback,
we're
talking
about
groton
tv,
getting
sean
greeley
to
do
a
ticker
or
something
on
groton
tv.
So
I'm
really
trying
to
get
the
word
out
that
we're
looking
for
feedback
and
blue
sky
ideas
and
that
needs
assessment
phase
one
and
then
the
needs
assessment
phase,
two
which
is
in
october
november.
M
So-
and
I
want
to
say
that
all
this
time
in
the
background
I'm
working
on
the
application
materials
for
the
grant
program-
I
actually
met
with
sima
last
week
and
that
we
had
a
chance
to
chat
about
how
we
could
better
facilitate
that
and
and
how
the
the
application
can
get
tweaked.
So
thank
you,
sema
working
on
that.
So
then
needs
assessment.
Phase
two
is
october
november.
Like
I
mentioned
the
buckets
we
prioritize
the
buckets
and
then,
in
october
november,
late
on
the
on
the
later
side.

I'll
ask
a
question,
since
it
seems
that
mayor
grantowski
has
stepped
away
for
a
second
I
didn't
hear-
or
maybe
I
just
missed
it.
It.
I
see
in
the
paper
that
a
lot
of
the
communities
like
stonington
and
other
ones
are
having
community
meetings
meetings
with
the
public
and
are
you
planning
to
have
that
in
our
needs
assessment
phase,
because
I
know
the
kiosks
sound
nifty.
But
I
can
tell
you
my
92
year.
M
We
hear
that
we
are
limited
by
you,
know,
meeting
request
requirements
for
the
town
and
we're
not
allowed
to
meet
in
person
right
now,
but
I
think
we
can
have
probably
smaller
groups
go
out
and
have
interactions
with
the
seniors.
You
know
I
have
a
really
good
relationship
lately
with
mary,
jo,
and
I
think
we
could
work
something
out
that
helps
meet
that
need.
B
C
F
F
Folks,
some
people
can't
read
written
language
and
they
have
other
disabilities,
and
so
they
could
be
the
ones
who
need
the
services
the
most
and
may
need
to
be
captured,
and,
I
think,
making
sure
everything's
dual
language
multi-language.
If
it's
on
computer,
then
you
probably
can
go
endless,
but
there
are
folks
that
are
blind
that
are
seniors,
have
macular
degenerative
eye
disease
that
may
need
help
with
these
forms
and
may
need
someone
to
bring
them
and
advocate
and
help
them.
F
You
know
navigate
the
system
and
I
think
we
need
to
open
up
those
doors
and
those
lines
of
communication
to
meet
the
needs
of
everybody.
There
have
been
things
I've
seen
where
they've
done
curbside,
where
there's
been
things
where
you
pull
up
under
the
awning,
and
you
have
a
tablet
out,
and
you
start
to
manipulate
the
tablet
for
the
client
or
person
of
in
need
or
a
person
who's
giving
feedback,
and
you
could
actually
verbally
ask
them
the
question
things
like
that.
F
There's
ways
that
we
can
do
this
outside
the
box
and
limit
our
exposure,
but
still
like
moderator,
emin
stated,
people
are
still
gathering.
Doctors
and
nurses
are
still
collecting
data
and
seeing
patients.
This
is
a
need
based
based
on
the
response
of
covid,
and
we
have
to
you
know,
make
those
connects.
So
I'm
open
to
suggestions
on
how
we
can
do
that.
But
I
think
the
curb
side
is
one
way
and
it
could
be
very
helpful.
C
M
B
F
No
by
just
just
the
time
frame
on
that
is
there
any
way
to
try
to
move
some
of
those
items
a
little
bit
quicker
in
its
intensity.
Some
of
this
stuff
is
not
going
to
hit
into
possibly
january
with
winter
coming
and
the
needs
of
folks
like
there's
a
need
greater
now
with
the
holidays
coming
up
and
things
like
that,
just
I
know
we
have
the
emergency
funds
that
would
be
available,
but
I
just
I
don't
know
and.
J
K
F
Stand
with
our
rollout
in
comparison,
I
guess
it's
good
to
look
at
we're
all
new
at
doing
this.
So
we're
not
perfect.
I
don't
expect
to
be,
but
it
is
good
to
see
and
collaborate
and
see
how
other
municipalities
of
our
size
are
rolling
this
out
to
make
sure
that
we're,
I
don't
know
doing
it
in
our
own
way,
but
are
they
doing
it
faster
or
should
we
be
pulling
back
or
are
we
right
on
target
well.
C
All
I
could
tell
you
is
well
I'll
get
the
info
on
norwich
and
stonington
and
some
of
those,
but
at
the
in
mayor
hedrick,
you
were
there
too.
My
sense
from
cog
when
we've
talked
about
this
is
most
people
do
not
have
a
plan,
yet
they
want
to
get
the
navigator
position
in
to
know
how
to
spend
the
money
and,
what's
appropriate,.
E
Right
and
the
other
issue
with
that
is
people
are
concerned.
They
want
to
make
sure
that
if
they
spend
the
money
they
spend
it
on
the
right
thing,
because
if
you
don't
you
got
to
pay
it
back
to
the
feds
and
it
comes
out
of
hide,
so
there
could
be
a
cost.
If
you
try
to
go
too
fast,
I
recognize
there's
a
need,
but
you
also
need
to
be
judicious
in
what
you
do
now.
E
If
the
money's
going
to
go
to
social
services,
then
you'd
want
the
money
to
go
to
social
services
anyway
and
you're
not
going
to
feel
bad
about
that.
If
you
have
to,
if
you
have
to
pay
for
that
out
of
the
tax
base,
because
we're
already
doing
it,
so
that
makes
sense
the
amount
of
money
the
500
makes
sense
and
moving
it
forward
makes
sense
from
this
committee.
So
that's
just
my
opinion.
C
J
B
C
Know
she
touched
on
it
some,
and
I
guess
you
know
marge
just
if
you
can
confirm
that
you
do
have
somebody
trained
that
you've
been
putting
the
word
out.
Is
there
a
person
I
just
I
forgot?
Is
it
who's
doing
it
over
new
london
for
the
region,
who's
got
the
actual
certification
who
did
who
trained
you?
The
person
there
marge.
L
They
they
sent
someone
for
the
first
couple
of
weeks
and
had
I
think,
two
people
that
came
in
and
that
was
it.
There
was
no
other
business
for
them.
We
had
announced
that
we
had
a
banner
out.
We
had
facebook
postings,
I
mean
we
did
and
they
had
done
the
same
thing.
We
there
just
wasn't
business
so
that
person
is
now
back
at
the
new
london
homeless,
hospitality
office.
B
C
C
I
will
get
out
articles
to
the
group
for
what
places
have
done
planned
so
far,
and
then
everybody,
if
you
have
please
buy
preferably
end
it
tomorrow,
very
early
monday
at
the
latest.
If
you
have
ideas
or
people
contacts
for
ideas
for
business
entities,
please,
so
we
can
get
that
word
out.
I'd
like
to
get
the
invite
out
tuesday
at
the
very
latest,
if
possible,
because
that
still
is
only
two
weeks.
