If this is YOUR meeting, an easy way to fix this is to add a description to your video, wherever mtngs.io found it (probably YouTube).
A
A
Thank
you,
madam
Clerk,
and,
as
always,
please
sure
be
sure
to
silence
your
cell
phones.
Members
turn
on
microphones
and
does
anyone
have
a
guess
there
are
not
many
folks
out
here
so
I
would
be
surprised,
but
seeing
no
hands
go
up
like
to
ask
for
approval
of
the
meeting
minutes
of
August
22nd.
A
We
have
motion
and
a
second
all
in
favor
by
saying,
aye
opposed
like
sign
that
carries
and
as
has
become
tradition.
This
is
a
special
meeting
committee.
So
we
always
read
the
charge
of
the
task
force.
Task
force
was
developed
to
take
a
wide
but
deep
look
into
the
functions.
The
executive
branch
of
the
Commonwealth,
specifically,
the
hope,
is
we'll
be
able
to
go
cabinet
by
cabinet.
Allow
them
to
come
in
explains
their
explain
their
structure
from
top
down
and
how
they
function.
A
This
will
lead
to
further
conversations
on
how
each
cabinet
is
funded
and
their
budget
building
practices.
Additionally,
those
meetings
will
give
the
cabinets
the
opportunity
to
propose
the
legislature
to
the
legislature,
future
reorganization
plan
and
any
other
proposals
aimed
at
increased
efficiency
that
requires
legislative
approval.
Overall.
This
task
force
should
produce
information
helpful
in
general
assembly
and
increasing
government
efficiency
in
the
2023
session
and
sessions
to
come
so
and
I
personally
want
to
throw
in
about
reorganizations
some
of
our
committees.
A
A
An
item
came
up
last
meeting.
That
is
the
subject
of
the
first
item,
which
is
the
governor
Scholars
Program.
So
we
have
Dr
Sedano
if
you'd
like
to
approach
the
and
your
wing
man
there.
If
you
all
could
formally
introduce
yourselves
for
the
camera
and
to
the
meeting.
D
A
F
A
Nice
to
hear
from
them
so
I
will
turn
the
floor
over
to
you
for
your
presentation
and
then
we'll
take
questions
at
the
end.
D
So
I'm
going
to
start
and
do
the
first
slide,
then
director
sedania
is
going
to
do
the
rest.
So,
as
I
mentioned
during
the
introduction,
I'm
Trey
Grace
number
1989
Alum
of
the
governor
Scholars
Program
I've,
been
on
the
board
over
20
years.
I,
don't
exactly
remember!
When
I
went
on
the
board,
we
obviously
don't
have
term
limits
and
I've
been
share
for
about
the
last
five
years.
I'm.
Also
a
parent,
both
of
my
daughters,
went
through
the
program
a
few
years
ago.
D
I
thought
what
I
would
do
is
take.
This
first
slide
that
we
prepared-
and
this
is
the
one
that
I
can
speak
most
directly
to
on
behalf
of
the
board
of
the
structure
of
GSP
and
sort
of
how
this
money
Works
a
little
bit
of
background
in
1983,
then
Governor
John
y
Brown
decided.
You
know
the
state
should
have
a
Governor's
School,
which
is
the
generic
term,
for
what
GSP
is
many
states
in
the
south
in
the
midwest
started
forming
these
schools
in
the
late
70s
and
early
80s,
and
so
Kentucky
created
one.
D
The
legislature
passed
author's
funding
in
the
83
session
to
to
be
awarded
in
the
after
July
1
fiscal
year,
so
fiscal
year,
84.
the
program
was
a
summer
program,
it's
a
five-week
program,
and
so
because
you
needed
to
start
a
program
before
the
money
was
available.
The
public-private
partnership
that
it's
finances.
It
was
immediately
needed,
so
private
actors
stepped
up
and
paid
for
the
first
few
months.
D
First
few
weeks,
excuse
me
of
salaries
and
then,
when
the
private,
the
public
money
stepped
in
after
July
1
it
paid
for
the
rest,
that's
basically
been
the
structure
of
her
set,
so
the
ratio
is
roughly
75.
Percent
of
the
funding
is
a
state
appropriation
to
the
governor,
Scholars
Program,
Inc
and
GSP.
Inc
is
a
not-for-profit
corporation.
It's
not
a
government
entity.
D
It's
a
501c3
tax
status
registered
to
Secretary
of
State's
office,
so
this
generalists
only
put
75
percent
of
our
budget
directly
through
an
appropriation,
the
other
25
percent
that
it
takes
to
run.
The
program
is
raised
privately
there's
a
separate
Foundation
which
I'll
talk
about
in
a
second
that
raises
that
money
and
then
transfers
the
money
into
GSP
Inc.
To
balance
the
budget,
the
mission
of
GSP
is
to
enhance
the
next
generation
of
Civic
and
economic
leaders.
It's
a
free,
five-week
program,
Kentucky
colleges,
universities.
This
past
summer.
D
It
was
at
Bellarmine,
Moorhead
State
in
Center
College,
roughly
every
three
years.
We
do
a
bid
structure
to
reopen
it,
and
we
extended
this
past
cycle
one
more
year
because
of
covid
so
next
summer,
we're
going
to
have
a
slight
variation
Murray
and
Moorhead
and
Center
will
be
the
three
campuses
for
the
next
three
years.
D
They're
about
three
or
four
schools
have
been
kind
of
rotating
over
the
last
decade,
or
so
in
2005,
the
general
assembly
passed
a
reorganization
bill
related
to
the
program
and
incurred,
and
basically
said
you
have
to
set
up
a
separate
Foundation
to
raise
private
money.
There
had
been
some
issues
and
some
confusion
about
State
dollars,
private
dollars,
all
kind
of
coming
in
together
into
one
entity,
and
so
the
way
it
works
somewhat
similar
to
KET,
where
you
have
multiple
entities.
D
So,
as
I
mentioned,
the
legislature,
you
appropriate
money
directly
into
GSP
Inc
for
all
private
support
and
grants
come
into
the
GSP
foundation
and
then
the
foundation
transfers
the
money
over
into
Inc
in
early
July
very
early
in
the
fiscal
year.
The
state
transfers
the
money
in
to
GSP
the
board
of
directors,
which
I
said
I'd
share.
We
hired
executive
director,
Ina
Rhys
hires,
the
rest
of
the
staff.
D
The
oversight
was
transferred
from
the
governor's
office
into
the
what
was
now
I
guess,
or
the
education
Workforce
Development
cabinet,
which
I
know
is
going
to
have
a
new
name
shortly,
if
it
doesn't
already
so
that's
kind
of
how
we're
structured
so
we're
part
of
sort
of
dotted
line
oversight
into
the
cabinet,
but
not
really
not
truly
a
state
agency,
but
obviously
75
percent
of
the
budget
comes
from
the
public.
Hence
the
oversight's
appropriate
I'm,
going
to
let
a
Reese
get
into
a
little
bit
more
of
the
structure
in
how
it
actually
works.
Rhys.
E
In
the
packets
of
information
that
you
all
have
some
of
the
documents
to
which
Mr
Grayson
referred
a
few
minutes
ago
are
in
that
order.
The
Senate
Bill
134
on
the
right
hand,
side
Senate,
Bill
134.
There
was
the
Fletcher
Administration
reorganized
the
GSP,
then
our
current
board
of
directors
and
the
executive
order
from
Governor
Steve
beshear
transferring
us
to
the
then
Workforce
Development
education,
Workforce
Development
cabinet.
E
Now
we
report
in
the
last
few
months
to
the
education
and
Workforce
cabinet
I,
think
the
best
or
educational
labor,
cabinets,
ELC
and
so
I
will
refer
also
to
some
documents
on
that
side.
E
E
F
E
And
that
so
that's
we
separate
the
money.
We
are
one
of
the
three
Governor
schools
in
Kentucky
we
are
the
oldest
and
the
largest,
but
there
is
also
Governor's
School
for
the
Arts
and
Governor
school
for
entrepreneurs.
Those
are
two
separate
entities,
they
have
their
own
structure,
they
have
their
own
executive
director
and
they
report
one
to
our
cabinet
and
the
other
one
to
the
are
tourism,
Arts
and
Humanities.
I.
Think
that
that's
the
name
foreign
there
are
all
what
we
do
year
round
is
to
organize
the
summer
programs.
E
E
in
in
in
the
in
the
session
of
2000
in
legislative
session
of
2000
senators,
Stivers
and
then
Senators,
Shaughnessy
and
case
Weir
file,
a
bill
to
create
the
Third
campus
and
expanded
campuses,
and
so
since
2001
we
have
three
campuses.
Even
though
we
are
one
whole
program,
the
students
are
assigned
to
one
of
the
three
campuses
and
it
is
a
bad
process
and
the
the
college
is
Bid
and
submit
a
bid
every
year
to
every
three
years
to
host
the
program.
E
As
Trey
mentioned
I
with
the
campus
directors
hired
and
supervised
the
summer
personnel,
they
are
contractually
higher
for
one
summer.
Only
the
contract
is
for
one
summer
and
there
is
no.
There
is
no
tenure
position,
they
can
reactivate
the
the
application
and
be
rehire
one
more
summer
or
more
than
one
summer,
but
there
is
no
guarantee
that
they
will
come
back.
We
have
three
on
each
of
our
campuses.
We
have
one
campus
director.
E
We
have
approximately
19
faculty
members
on
each
campus,
approximately
19
residential
staff
members
on
each
campus
and
in
about
eight
office
staff
members.
They
come
together
for
about
seven
to
seven
or
six
weeks.
The
students
come
for
five
and
there
are
then
350
Governor
Scholars
for
a
total
of
1050.
E
350
on
each
campus,
with
that
with
the
current
money
and
I
will
refer
that
when
we
talk
about
the
budget
with
the
current
money,
we
have
are
enough
for
1020,
but
in
the
last
two
years
and
next
year
the
Department
of
Education
is
providing
additional
support
for
30
more
Scholars.
So
that's
why
we
have
1050
and
that's
the
number
we
have
announced
for
nine
for
next
summer.
E
E
They
come
and
we
provide
free
of
charge,
the
room
and
board
for
the
students,
and
so
in
addition
to
that,
our
main
goals
are
to
provide
tools
to
tackle
problems
and
in
a
way
you
can
see
helping
others
be
creative
in
life.
School,
workplace
and
community
develop
the
ability
to
recognize
when
to
be
a
leader
and
when
to
be
a
follower
and
learning
how
to
achieve
our
Highest
Potential.
E
The
GSP
does
not
quantify
learning,
and
by
that
I
mean
we
don't
have
grades,
we
don't
have
academic
credits,
it
is
an
environment
in
which
the
students
live
together,
learn
together.
There
are
residential
advisors
on
each
Hall
and
the
faculty
members
remain
on
another
halt,
separate
from
the
students,
but
on
campus.
E
So
if
we
create
a
community
of
about
400
people
on
each
campus,
you
can
see
on
your
left
hands
on
your
right
hand,
side
a
document
there
there
that
is
called
noteworthy
alumni,
some
of
our
Business
Leaders,
some
of
our
Civic
leaders,
some
of
our
academic
leaders.
This
is
just
a
sample
of
some
of
our
past
Governor
Scholars.
There.
E
It
is
an
extremely
high
and
highly
competitive
process
at
all
School
levels.
Our
overriding
goal
in
this
election
is
that
all
the
120
counties
of
Kentucky
will
be
represented.
E
E
Hart
County
did
not
submit
anyone.
Neither
School
in
Hart
County,
caverna
or
Hart
County
High
School
submitted
anyone.
So
I
am
actually
visiting
hard
County
tomorrow
evening
too,
because
it
is
important
for
us
that
all
all
districts
be
represented
and-
and
the
number
of
that
they
can
submit
to
the
state
level,
is
based
on
the
junior
population
in
the
competition
big
begins
in
the
school,
continues
at
the
district
level
and
then
reaches
up
to
the
at
the
state
level,
the
campus
components
once
they
come
to
campus,
we
have
classes,
we
have
a
for
each
scholar.
E
We
have
a
focus
area
or
some
sort
of
in
in
college
term
is
a
major
area
that
the
students
select
they
select
that
class.
Then
there
is
a
second
class
called
General
Studies
that
we
assign
them
to
with
another
team,
a
different
teacher,
and
we
do
that
intentionally
so
that
the
students
who
select
science
may
go
to
the
humanities
and
they
they
balance
their
own
curriculum
in
and
then
there's
residential
activities.
E
There
are
discussion,
groups
called
seminars,
they
are
led
by
the
by
the
resident
advisors
and
they
are
led
by
the
resident
advisors
because
they
are
close
in
age
to
the
students
themselves
and
they
live
with
the
students
in
the
dorms.
In
the
Resident
halls
there
are
residential
activities
like
Hall
activities,
field
trips,
supervised
field
trips,
community
service.
Whenever
possible,
we
have
in
the
last
two
years.
We
were
not
able
to
do
that,
convocation
speakers
and
many
other
activities
that
lead
us
to
our
goals
overall
goals.
E
We
have
a
college
fair
to
which
we
invite
all
Kentucky's
colleges
and
universities
and
the
students
have
the
opportunity
to
attend
that
we
have
a
school
counselor
training
for
the
next.
You
know
during
the
summer
for
the
next
application
process.
We
also
have
rules
and
regulations,
so
the
students
Don't
just
run
freely
on
a
campus.
They
are
17
years
of
age
and
we
need
to
have
a
number
of
rules
and
regulations.
Some
of
those
are
non-negotiables
like
no
firearms
and
no
drugs
and
no
alcohol,
for
instance.
E
Some
of
them
are
just
for
out
of
necessity
to
maintain
a
good
environment
within
the
community
in
2022.
To
give
you
an
example,
we
receive
at
the
state
level
1756
applications
and
they
come.
They
came
from
Eastern
Kentucky
counties,
357
from
Western
Kentucky
counties,
419
from
Northern
Kentucky
counties,
212,
Jefferson,
County,
356
and
Central
Kentucky
412..
E
We
accepted
1051
students
that
is
about
60
acceptance
rate.
Female
applicants
were
1204
male
applicants
552,
though
those
percentages
have
grown
and
grown
and
grown
one
side.
The
the
percentages
began
changing
way
back
in
1995
was
the
first
year
that
was
not
50
50.
E
E
The
application
is
not
only
based
on
grades.
Many
people
believe
that
we
are
only
basing
these
on
grades.
No,
the
academic
achievement
is
important
to
us.
That's
GPA,
standardized
test
difficulty.
Of
course
load
is
up
to
30
percent
student
profile.
That
is
extracurricular
activities,
that
is
service
owners
and
awards,
and
that
is
30
a
write-in
entry
up
to
20
and
two
letters
of
recommendation,
one
from
a
teacher
and
one
from
a
Community
member,
a
member
of
the
community
outside
the
school.
E
We
explain
the
very
competitive
selection
process
on
every
we
will
be
reaching
these
months
and
next
month
we
are
reaching
about
80
counties
of
Kentucky,
with
explanations.
I
have
an
event
tonight
at
Georgetown
for
the
counties
in
Scotland
surrounding,
and
so
tomorrow.
I
have
hard
County
and
surrounding
Thursday
I
have
Taylor
County
and
surrounding,
and
then
we
moved
to
Western,
Kentucky
and
later
Eastern
Kentucky,
where
we
reach
about
80
counties
every
year
to
explain
to
the
potential
Governor
Scholars
and
their
parents
about
the
program.
E
This
is
a
graphic
here
that
shows
the
overall
satisfaction
with
the
program.
We
do
this
every
year.
We
didn't
do
this
in
2020,
because
it
was
a
very
modified
program.
E
We
didn't
do
it
in
2021,
but
we
returned
to
do
it
this
year
and
the
questions
that
the
students
asked
that
we
asked
the
students
in
the
survey
at
the
end
of
the
program
as
they
exit
relate
to
classroom
experiences,
residential
life
campus
events
and
and
what
they
have
learned
about,
Kentucky
in
general
and
colleges
in
Kentucky
as
well
about
83
percent
of
our
students,
graduates
go
to
Kentucky
colleges
and
universities.
E
All
Kentucky's
colleges
and
universities
offer
scholarship
at
different
levels,
based
on
the
fact
that
they
have
completed
the
GSP,
and
so
you
can
see
here.
The
number
of
strongly
agree
agree,
neutral,
disagree
and
strongly
disagree.
Those
percentages
are
fairly
similar
over
the
years.
E
And
you
also
have
the
last
document.
On
your
right
hand,
side
is
the
actual
budget,
as
approved
budget
comparison
in
2021
and
the
one
for
2022,
as
approved
by
the
board
of
directors.
We,
even
though
we
received
the
money
in
July,
the
state
money
we
do
have
our
our
fiscal
year
is
calendar
year.
So
that's
you
know
some.
Some
things
are
not
accounted
there.
That's
just
the
proposed
budget
for
this
year
and
we
have
not
even
paid
yet
more
head
State.
We
are
still
in
the
process
of
revising
their
bill.
E
You
can
see
the
appropriate
the
state
Appropriations
from
the
first
year.
I
was
appointed
executive
director
and
you
can
see
the
numbers
of
Scholars
that
we
have
had
over
the
years
and
as
Trey
explained
at
the
beginning,
the
money
that
comes
with
fiscal
year,
2000
20
23,
which
we'll
receive
in
July
this
year,
paid
for
the
program
in
2022.
E
That's
exactly
what
Trey
tried
to
explain
at
the
beginning
when
the
program
was
created
in
April
with
money
coming
in
July,
and
then
the
private
money
kicks
in
first,
and
so
the
private
money
is
extremely
important
to
us
and-
and
the
fundraising
has
been
you
know
satisfactory
all
these
years
to
maintain
at
least
the
25
percent
of
the
budget,
and
for
next
summer
we
expect
to
have
1050
students
and
the
state
Appropriations,
as
announced
in
the
biennial
budget,
is
similar
to
this
past
year.
E
B
You
Mr
chairman,
my
first
question
is:
do
you
keep
a
record
of
success?
I
mean
I
know
you
got
a
listing
there
that
you
shared
with
us
but
of
All
Sorts.
How
many
actually
goes
in
and
actually
completes
a
bachelorette
degree
at
some
point
in
time.
E
Yes,
we
are
tracking
a
mechanism
and
we
work
with
Kentucky
stats,
also
with
KY
stats,
so
that
we
can
make
sure
that
we
have
those
records.
E
We
need
those
records
not
only
for
all
of
you
here,
but
also
for
potential
private
donors
who
ask
about
those
records
it's
important
to
maintain
who,
where
they
go
to
college,
we
we
know
approximately,
how
many
students
go
in
state
and
what
colleges
they
go
and
what
how
many
students
go
out
of
state,
how
many
students
have
residents
in
Kentucky
and
the
success
of
many
stories,
I'm
not
going
to
tell
you
that
we
know
a
hundred
percent,
because
there
were
many
many
numbers
of
years
in
the
early
earlier
years,
that
there
was
no
data
available.
E
And
so
basically
we
began
to
collect
data
of
this
nature
in
1999.
In
the
academic
report,
I
don't
have
the
current
one
is
still
going
to
the
print
and
and
I
will
send
you
a
copy
all
of
you.
But
this
is
a
2021
and
you
can
see
in
the
back
of
the
report.
E
There
is
information
about
college
going
from
the
beginning
in
Kentucky,
and
also
the
current
permanent
resident
in
the
state
of
Kentucky.
It's
about
82.6
percent
of
our
alumni
and
we
have
about
35
000
alarms
in
40
years.
B
You're
going
to
make
more
comment.
Yes,
you
may
thank
you.
I
appreciate
that
and
yeah.
Yes,
I
would
like
to
look
forward
to
seeing
that
data.
One
thing
that
and
I
think
it's
a
good
program.
Don't
get
me
wrong,
but
at
the
same
time
I
wonder
sometimes,
if
we're
not
providing
resources
to
those
who
would
be
successful
regardless,
whether
you
had
a
governor
scholarship
program
or
not
I'm
worried
about
those
those
students
who
are
average
students
that
may
not
have
the
and
I
the
writing.
B
I
think
is
probably
done
prior
to
it.
So
you
you
get
a
lot
of
help
if
you
got
that
but
I
wonder
if
there's
a
group
of
students
that
we're
not
touching
that
could
be
considered
and
how
that
would
help
them
be
successful
and
encourage
them
to
go
on
to
a
degree
seeking
student
that
makes
sense
to
you
as
well,
so
it.
E
It
is
difficult
to
explain
also
that
many
of
the
students
that
we
select
or
successful
in
academics,
but
have
a
lot
of
adversity
in
lives
as
well,
and
our
students
are
not
selected
only
as
you
know
now,
in
terms
of
the
academic
records,
many
of
them
work
and
that
is
considered
part
of
the
application.
When
do
they
do
they
do
work?
They
can
say
that
too
many
of
them
do
service
in
the
communities.
Many
of
them
do
extracurricular
activities
to
help
the
families
around
them
as
well.
E
So
but
I
understand
exactly
what
you
mean
in
terms
of
others.
Unfortunately,
you
know
and
I
trade
I
guess
you
agree
with
me
on
this,
but
I
don't
know
if
you
have
something
else
to
say.
Unfortunately,
we
don't
have.
Our
capacity
is
limited
to
the
numbers
that
we
have
also,
you
know
how
in
the
schools,
one
of
the
difficulties
we
face
in
the
selection
process
in
the
schools
is
that
some
schools
want
to
nominate
without
an
application.
E
They
just
want
to
designate
these
this
and
that
and
we
want
to
make
sure
that
they
conduct
an
application
process.
Many
parents
have
commented
in
the
past.
The
systems
in
the
schools
may
not
be
favoring
some
students,
but
I
certainly
understand.
As
a
professor
I
am
I
came
to
Kentucky
as
a
professor
and
I
have
taught
over
many
years.
First
graders,
10th,
graders
and
then
college
and
I
understand
that
there
are
many
students
that
don't
come
to
programs
like
this
and
I
wish.
We
could
also
assist
in
a
in
that
way.
D
If
I
could
add
representative
Cole,
which
I
can't
see
you
and
you,
which
means
you
probably
can't
see
me
if
we
do,
that,
we
can
see
each
other
hey.
Let
me
add
two
things
to
this
answer.
D
One
is
I
think
you
know
through
the
first
way,
it's
a
fair
point
and
I
think
that's
where,
with
the
goal
of
having
somebody
from
every
County
and
the
recruitment
efforts,
we're
trying
to
do
our
best
to
get
out
and
and
every
cycle,
this
is
more,
you
know
anecdotal
qualitative,
but
it
I'm
always
struck
by
the
number
of
students.
D
You
know,
first
time
away
from
home
first
time
doing
laundry
first
time.
You
know
all
these
kinds
of
things
some
of
the
adversity
talked
about.
D
The
second
thing
is
big:
by
forcing
he
alluded
to
the
application
by
requiring
an
application,
one
of
the
things
that
that
does
is
that
prepares
students
for
the
college
and
scholarship
application,
and
so
many
students
use
their.
You
know
the
list
of
activities
that
they
prepared
and
their
their
reference,
their
references
and
their
essays
to
help
get
scholarships
and
unlock.
You
know
funding
like
that,
so
it
is,
it
is
I
think
by
it.
D
By
definition,
it
is
a
program
that
doesn't
that
not
every
student
in
Kentucky
is
eligible
for,
but
many
of
the
students
who
participate,
you
know,
would
not
fit
a
description
of
elite.
D
D
Because
there
is
this,
you
know:
you've
got
kids
from
Kentucky
country
day
going
to
as
well
as
kids
from
caverna
high
school.
Just
to
pick
one
that
I
know
is
a
small,
tiny
school
that
is
an
independent
district
and
that
Aries
mentioned,
and
so
we
want
to
make
sure
that
they
have
a
good
experience
on
campus
too.
E
The
the
30
additional
Scholars
that
are
sponsored
by
the
commission,
the
Department
of
Education,
are
if
that
money
is
targeting
also
students
with
circumstances
adverse
adverse
circumstances.
E
Down
funding
also,
we
also
have
about
forty
thousand
dollars
private
money
from
Churchill
Downs
in
Jefferson
County,
actually
for
each
of
the
legislative
districts
in
Jefferson
County,
we
select
one,
we
don't
select
them
earlier,
but
we
select
them
based
on
facts
that
are
you
know,
students
who
have
an
extraordinary
mind
but
are
not
in
line
to
be
successful
because
of
other
circumstances.
D
I
guess
the
last
thing
I'll
add
is
when
the
decision
was
made
to
add
the
third
campus.
The
motivation
was
to
get
to
more
students,
and
that
was
why
those
three
Senators
proposed
it,
and
we
was
also
why
the
first
campus
was
specifically
Eastern,
Kentucky
University,
because
you
know
the
campuses
were
in
Central
kentucky
or
even
Western,
Kentucky
or
Murray,
which
made
a
distance
barrier
and
by
putting
that
first
campus
at
EKU.
It
signaled
to
the
folks
in
the
eastern
half
of
the
state
that
this
is.
D
This
was
a
Statewide
program
for
everybody,
and
we've
tried
to
maintain
some
level
of
geographic
diversity.
Although
ultimately
it's
about
the
bottom
line,
but
we've
been
fortunate
to
have
both
Murray
and
Morehead
participate
for
the
last
couple
decades,
which
is
oftentimes
the
first
time
somebody's
been
to
Eastern
or
Western,
Kentucky
and
I.
Think
that's
a
good
thing.
E
A
Question
is
from
representative
Baker.
B
Mr
Daniel,
thank
you
so
much
for
being
here
today.
Thank
you
very
much.
I
have
a
couple
questions
for
you.
First
off,
who
sets
the
curriculum
that
is
taught
at
GSP
is
that
is
that
curriculum
designed
and
established
by
the
faculty.
E
E
I
was
hired
to
teach
originally
in
literary
studies
and
Spanish,
which
is
my
specialty
in
in
college.
We
have
faculty
members
about
half
of
our
faculty.
Members
are
college
professors
and
about
half
our
high
school
teachers.
So
we
balance
the
high
school
teachers,
understand
discipline
very
well,
and
the
faculty
members
from
colleges
do
a
little
bit
more
of
like
lecture
also,
and
they
are
higher
for
a
specific
subject.
E
For
instance,
political
and
legal
issues
is
one
subject,
a
new
subject.
Next
year
will
be
public
policy
and
administration,
or
we
have
the
Sciences
astronomy,
so
the
faculty
members
are
taught,
and
then
they
propose
a
course
that
is
reviewed
by
me
and
by
our
three
campus
directors
together
and
and
that's
how
keeping
in
mind
that
we
advise
The
Faculty
members
not
to
plan
a
lot,
because
we
really
want
these
students
to
provide
information
to
generate,
because
sometimes,
if
we
plan
something
like
in
college
or
in
high
school,
they
have
done
it.
E
I'm,
going
to
give
you
a
specific
example
personal
this
year,
because
of
necessity,
I
had
to
take
one
class
called
cultural
anthropology
and
after
the
the
first
sessions
we
were
dealing
with
cultures
of
the
world,
including
Kentucky
one
week,
the
first
after
the
first
session,
the
students
decided
that
they
wanted
to
also
work
and
explain
to
others
about
their
family
tree.
So
I
allow
that
because
it
was
generated
by
the
students
and,
of
course,
I
guide
them
on
how
to
prepare
the
family
tree.
E
It's
not
just
I'm
gonna
joke
about
discussing,
or
it
is
a
serious
activity,
and
so
we
want
the
students
to
own
in
the
program.
Nobody
calls
me
doctor,
Professor
or
Mr.
Everybody
calls
me
Aries,
but
in
fact
everybody
calls
me
every
in
life
and
yeah
and
and
and
we
do
that,
because
we
are
all
Scholars,
the
students
are
not
called
students,
they
are
Scholars
and
we
are
Scholars
and
they
own
the
education
in
that
classroom.
As
much
as
many
students
will
tell
you
will
tell
me,
or
is
you
have
inspired
me?
E
No,
you
have
no
idea
how
much
the
students
have
inspired
me.
I
am
not
from
this
country
and
the
great
and
I
resign.
My
tenure
post
at
GS
at
the
University
of
Louisville
after
I,
got
all
my
ranks,
of
course,
to
do
this
full-time
because
of
The
Inspirations
I
get
from
this.
The
type
of
students
that
you
get
in
here
it
is
a
community
very
unique.
Many
people
will
tell
you
is
an
Utopia,
and
so
the
curriculum
is
like
that.
For
the
first
part,
the
second
class
is
taught
by
The
Faculty
from
a
different
angle.
E
We
asked
them
to
create
a
class
that
not
does
not
exclude
anybody
in
in
the
topic.
You
know
how
somebody
has
a
engineering
mind
and
they
don't
want
to
do
literary
studies
at
all,
or
vice
versa.
So
we
as
a
literary
studies
teacher
like
myself,
to
create
a
class
about
an
apple,
and
this
is
a
class
that
was
created
by
one
colleague
of
mine
at
Center
College
a
few
years
ago,
called
an
apple.
A
day
takes
the
doctor.
E
You
know
teachers
and
so
on
and
the
fourth
week
in
computers
and
so
on
and
the
first
week
the
students
were
asked
to
find
the
meaning
of
the
Apple
from
their
own
perspective,
and
this
was
to
create
a
course
created
by
The
Faculty
members
to
bring
students
from
different
fields,
because
the
students
that
come
to
us
really
want
to
do
something.
In
life-
and
they
many
of
them
think
that
they
know
exactly
what
they
are
going
to
do.
E
E
A
B
The
and
I'll
try
to
be.
A
B
So
I
have
a
number
of
questions
about
obviously
I'm
limited
to
one.
Yes,
but
there
are
a
number
of
parents.
There
are
a
number
of
students
or
a
number
of
legislators
who
are
concerned
about
what
took
place
at
GSP
this
summer
and
what
I
was
told
from
a
number
of
different
individuals.
This
summer,
students
were
required
to
declare
their
political
party,
their
gender,
their
sexuality,
their
stance
on
abortion
and
their
white
privilege,
and
they
had
to
explain
their
white
privilege
throughout
the
week.
What
would
you
say
to
parents?
What
would
you
say
to
those
students?
E
First
of
all,
thanks
for
the
question
because
I
I
heard
when
you
asked
the
question
secretary
link
as
well,
I'm
going
to
tell
you
right
now
that
we
have
not
received
any
of
those
comments
or
inquires
in
any
way
in
my
office
in
any
way
at
all.
E
We
heard
Trey
Grayson
heard
from
one
representative
very
shortly
after
we
close
one
campus
as
always,
and
I
met
with
that
representative
Mr
Bentley
last
week
and
explained
to
him.
Yes,
I
had
to
dig
into
the
activity
Bank
and
we
found
an
activity
called
a
privileged
walk
and
we
are
reviewing
the
the
activity
to
see
if
it
fits
or
not,
because
if
it
doesn't
fit,
it
needs
to
be
out.
E
E
The
intention
is
not
really
to
get
to
know
the
students
talk
among
themselves
and
that's
fine,
but
really
we
have
not
received.
We
don't
ask,
what's
your
sexuality,
if
they
want
this
close
to
that,
but
we
don't
ask
now
the
activity
itself
says
and
I'm
going.
To
be
honest,
you
know
you
probably
have
seen
copy
of
the
activity
that
we
I
had
to
dig.
The
activity
says
literally.
G
E
Oh
well,
perhaps
some
of
our
members
would
like
to
yes:
I
will
share
them.
I
will
follow
up
and
share
with
you
that
activity
the
activity
as
the
students,
if
you
are,
if
you
have
received
an
education
step
forward
yeah
if
you
have
come
from
another
country,
step
backwards
and
and
I
understand
the
circumstances,
then,
if
that
means
that
we're
asking
the
students
to
this,
you
know
to
say
something
they
don't
have
to
participate
in
the
activity
either
I
understand.
E
If
we
are
asking
them,
we
will
have
to
really
study
and
reconsider
that
you
know
you
know,
because
what
I
don't
want
is
to
send
the
message
that
the
governor
Scholars
is
I'm,
going
to
use
a
word
that
I
don't
know
how
to
pronounce
well,
because
somebody
used
it
with
me.
The
other
day
woke
is
that
the
name
I
I
mentioned
to
Senator
Senator
the
other
day.
They
were
walk
and
he
said
no
worries
is
woke.
E
We
don't
want
to
send
that
message,
and
you
know
I
I
will
retire
in
a
couple
of
years,
but
before
I
do
that
I
make
sure
that
we
it
doesn't
happen.
That
is
not
the
governor's
Scholars
problem
representative
Baker.
D
I
had
one
thing:
representative,
Baker,
I'd,
love,
I,
think
the
board
and
the
rest.
We
would
love
to
hear
from
the
parents
who've
reached
out
to
you
and
I
said
that
to
representative
Bentley,
because
from
we
can
gather
because
we
haven't
heard
directly
from
parents,
we
think
I
think
maybe
your
question.
It
doesn't
sound
like
this
was
very
widespread.
D
So
please,
please
direct
them
absolutely
to
a
reason.
He
always
talks
to
parents
at
the
end,
and
so
this
is
one
we
you
know
when,
when
representative
Bentley
called
me,
I
think
it
was
like
the
day
after
the
Moorhead
campus
closed,
I
passed
it
along
I
said
you
know,
because
I
didn't
know
anything
you
know
about
it
and
wanted
them
to
meet
and
they
finally
got
a
chance
to
meet.
But
we
really
want
to
talk
to
those
parents
because
you're
right,
we
don't
I,
don't
the
program.
We
don't
want
to
woke.
D
You
know
we
want
to
it's:
a
growth
experience
and
being
exposed
to
people
are
different
than
you
is
part
of
that,
but
we
don't
want.
The
last
thing
is
to
have
somebody
feel
uncomfortable
and
the
taxpayers
don't
deserve
that
the
participants
will
deserve
the
parents.
People
don't
deserve
that.
E
A
Last
question
is
from
representative
mentor.
H
Thank
you
very
much,
chair
Miller
and
thank
you
both
for
being
here
now.
I
am
both
a
faculty
member
and
a
legislator.
So
we're
not
known
for
being
brief
and
I'm
gonna,
give
it
my
best
shot,
but.
G
H
H
The
fellow
students
showed
them
what
they
can
be
I
see
people
who
are
first
gen,
who
have
never
thought
about
going
to
law
school,
but
somebody
at
GSP
suggested
to
them
that
they
could
do
that
and
they
turn
up
in
my
office.
I
have
any
number
of
success
stories
that
I
could
point
to
who
fit
that
profile
and
they
have
flowered
because
of
what
your
program,
their
colleagues
The
Faculty.
All
of
you
who
invested
in
them
have
shown
them
they
can
be
as
a
faculty
member
I
celebrate
that
success
as
a
legislator.
H
A
I
I
You
chairman
I,
appreciate
that
I
and-
and
you
can
provide
this
after
the
fact,
but
I'd
love
to
know
what
the
timeline
is
here
director
if
you're
reviewing
that
material
which
is
troubling
to
us
who
have
gotten
reports
from
from
students
or
their
families.
But
that
didn't
happen
just
a
week
or
two
ago
that
that's
been
several
weeks
ago,
so
I'm
curious.
A
I
And
again,
I'm
not
going
to
ask
you
to
answer
so
we
can
move
along
here,
but
I'd
appreciate
some
follow-up
on
when
we're
going
to
get
a
response
on
exactly
what
the
review
of
that
material
said
or
whether
or
not
it's
been
tossed
out
or
if
we're
going
to
keep
it,
because
it's
not
as
bad
as
we
were
told
or
whatever
and
then
two
the
legality
of
the
material
I
think
if
it's
as
was
reported,
I
think
there's
some
civil
rights
violations
that
might
be
at
issue
there
and
I
guess
I
want
to
know
if
that's
really
the
case
because
I'm
getting
it
second
hand,
you're
getting
it
second
hand.
E
I
Like
to
know,
if
that's
an
issue,
because
if
it
is,
we
probably
ought
to
call
the
Attorney
General's
office
and
have
them
investigate
that
and
and
identify
whether
or
not
any
civil
rights
claims
actually
exist
so
and
maybe
they
aren't
maybe
there.
Maybe
there
isn't
an
issue
there,
but
we
don't
know
the
answers
to
those
questions.
Thank
you.
Thank
you,
chairman.
All.
A
Forward
to
receiving
further
information,
yes,
sir,
thank
you.
The
lifestyle
item
on
the
agenda.
Excuse
me
is
public
protection,
cabinet
organization,
operation
and
budgetary
overview.
I
apologize
for
just
getting
to
you
all,
but
we
all
learned
something.
So
that's
a
good
day.
F
First
off
Mr,
chairman
and
members
of
the
task
force,
I
appreciate
you
having
us
here
today
to
discuss
the
public
protection
cabinet.
My
name
is
Ray
Perry
I
am
the
public
protection
cabinet
secretary
and
I'll.
Let
my
colleagues
introduce
themselves.
C
F
We're
we're
a
shared
service
cabinet
because
of
this
common
Focus.
Through
the
various
offices
attached
to
the
secretary's
office,
we
offer
shared
services,
so
our
agencies
are
consistent
throughout
those
shared
services
include
administrative
service
such
as
fiscal
and
human
resources,
and
we
also
provide
Communications
throughout
our
various
departments.
F
It
also
includes
includes
Information
Technology.
We
believe
this
is
a
major
strength
of
our
efficiency.
I
I
know
I'm
biased
here,
but
I
feel,
like
our
cabinet,
has
one
of
the
best
I.T
staffs
in
state
government,
and
we
can
discuss
that
earlier.
We've
we
have
created
internal
databases
that
provide
licensure
and
insurance
tracking
and
currently
serves
all
of
our
agencies,
with
the
exception
of
housing,
building
and
construction.
F
This
allows
Financial
savings
but,
more
importantly,
allows
us
to
adapt
our
database
to
any
new
laws
that
are
created.
In
addition
to
these
databases,
ppc's
I.T
staff
have
created
the
following
applications
that
will
allow
for
additional
efficiencies.
There's
the
star
training
for
ABC
evidence
tracking
for
ABC
officers,
an
internal
system
to
for
purchase,
request
and
request
for
travel
that
maintains
all
documents
in
a
centralized
location
allowing
for
tracking
and
approvals
and
will
integrate
with
emars.
F
As
far
as
budget,
it
is
important
to
note
that
our
agency
primarily
operate
on
restricted
funds
generated
through
licensing
fees.
However,
there
are
some
general
funds
and
some
federal
funds.
I
would
like
to
take
a
moment
to
thank
the
general
assembly
for
the
additional
funding
that
was
included
in
hb1.
This
was
very
important
to
us
it.
It
helped
us
with
additional
positions
and
vehicles
in
the
State
Fire
Marshal's
office
and
to
hire
more
inspectors
and
plan
reviewers.
This
was
badly
needed
and
it's
a
godsend
to
us
that
we
have
these
extra
positions.
F
So
I
really
want
to.
Thank
you
all
for
that.
The
department
has
been
understaffed
for
many
years,
and
a
combination
of
national
natural
disasters
and
economic
development
has
increased
the
need
for
positions
there.
The
funding
is
great.
So
with
that
we'll
start
with
our
power
points,
we've
got
it
up.
Okay,
so
here
you
see,
we
have
the
office
of
the
secretary
and
we
have
10
other
departments.
F
This
provides
an
overview
of
the
cabinet
as
a
whole,
we're
a
small
cabinet.
We
regulate
some
of
the
biggest
industries
in
Kentucky
and
we
touched
the
lives
of
all
kentuckians
we'll
go
to
slide
three.
As
I
previously
noted,
the
office
of
the
secretary
provides
services
and
oversights
for
all
agencies
within
the
cabinet.
The
federal
funding
note
relates
to
the
Appropriations
from
the
state
fiscal
Recovery
Fund
in
non-profit
assistant
fund.
F
This
program
provides
one-time
assistance,
payments
to
eligible
eligible
non-profit
organizations
that
experience
net
negative
revenue
and
calendar
years
2020
and
2021.,
and-
and
we
can
answer
some
questions
on
that
here
in
a
minute,
staff
within
the
office
of
the
secretary
also
administers
the
team
Western
Kentucky
tornado,
Relief
Fund
and
the
team
Eastern
Kentucky
flood
Relief,
Fund,
slides
four
and
now
we're
going
to
start
with
the
agencies.
The
Department
of
Professional
Licensing
provides
administrative
support,
fiscal
operation
support
and
the
legal
counsel
to
various
licensing
board.
The
types
and
services
provided
are
determined
by
the
board.
F
They
vary.
Sometimes
we
just
provide
administrative.
Sometimes
we
just
Pride
legal,
sometimes
a
combination
of
both
slide.
Six,
please,
the
Kentucky
real
estate
Authority
protects
the
public
by
licensing
real
estate
professionals,
including
appraisers,
auctioneers
and
home
inspectors,
and
real
estate
sales
associates
and
Brokers
and
investigates
complaints
received
by
all
the
related
licensees.
F
The
federal
funds
related
to
the
Federal
grant
wrote
relates
to
scanning
of
appraisal
documents
into
a
National
Database.
That's
what
the
204
000
is
slide.
Number
seven.
F
The
Kentucky
boxing
and
wrestling
commission
encourages
the
growth
of
unarmed
Combat.
Sports
protects
participants
and
Spectators
and
strives
to
improve
the
sport
by
thoughtful,
reasonable
and
fair
regulation
and
monitoring
they've
been
working
hard
to
promote
wrestling
mixed
martial
arts
and
boxing
in
the
home
of
Muhammad,
Ali
and
I'll,
say
this.
We've
got
a
real
good
guy
in
this
job.
He's
working,
it
WWE's
the
Big
Money
Maker
here
and
he's
gotten
them
to
come
here.
F
I
think
three
times
in
one
year,
so
I
mean
he's
really
working
to
promote
it
and,
of
course
that
fills
up
hotels
and
restaurants.
It's
good
for
everybody,
so
I'm
very
proud
of
that.
The
next
is
the
Alcohol
Beverage
Control
Board,
the
Department
of
Alcohol
Beverage
Control,
develops
and
enforces
reasonable
administrative
regulations
related
to
the
sale
and
use
of
alcoholic
beverages.
F
This
includes
mop
beverages,
distilled
spirits.
The
agency
is
one
of
three
PPC
to
have
sworn
Law
Enforcement
Officers,
to
assist
in
enforcement.
The
federal
funding
relates
to
the
ABC,
provides
for
the
FDA
related
to
Tobacco
compliance
and
I
wanted
to
say
something
about
our
ABC
officers.
In
addition
to
this,
they've
provided
Security
in
West
Kentucky
during
the
tornado,
and
they
were
also
working
down
there.
Providing
Security
in
the
flood
areas,
they
worked
a
full
day.
They
were
on
their
way
home.
Two
of
our
officers
got
a
call
said:
hey.
F
F
F
Dfi
provides
oversight
of
depository
institutions
such
as
Banks
and
Credit
Unions
non-depository
institutions
such
as
payday
loans
and
mortgage
loan
services,
and
now,
with
the
the
passing
of
the
legislation
student
loan
services,
they
also
provide
oversight
for
securities
next
one,
the
Kentucky
Horse
Racing
commission
is
an
independent
agency
of
state
government
charged
with
regulating
the
conduct
of
horse
racing
paramutual
wagering
on
horse
races
and
related
activities
within
the
Commonwealth
of
Kentucky
Kentucky
Horse
Racing
commission
is
administratively
attached
to
our
cabinet.
We
provide
administrative,
human
resources
and
fiscal
support
to
the
agency.
F
The
Department
of
Housing
building
and
construction
enforces
Statewide
standards
for
building
construction.
The
agency
ensures
Fire
and
Life
Safety
and
existing
buildings
licenses,
certificate,
plumbers,
electricians
boiler,
contractors,
sprinkler
and
fire
alarm
contractors
and
building
inspectors.
The
State
Fire
Marshal
is
an
office
within
this
agency.
F
It
is
important
to
note
that
local
governments
may
have
jurisdiction
over
inspections
within
their
municipalities,
such
as
those
for
single
resident
residential
homes
in
the
area
for
which
they
have
requested
jurisdiction.
So
we
don't
always
have
jurisdiction
over
residential
homes.
We
can
help,
but,
but
they
mainly
have
that
slide.
13.
You
ready
Department
of
Insurance
is
also
in
our
cabinet.
F
F
A
Oh,
we
appreciate
it.
Co-Chair
Mills
has
the
first
question:
okay,.
G
Thank
y'all
for
being
here.
Thank
you
for
being
here
today,
secretary
and
Commissioners.
G
First
of
all,
your
cabinet
is
huge,
I
mean
we
just
it's.
It's
humongous.
How
much
you
have
oversight
and
you're
exactly
right
it
does.
It
does
touch
every
corner
of
the
state.
I
have
a
particular
question
and
I
have
some
more
questions
afterwards,
but
under
that's
the
gambling
question,
but
under
current
Kentucky
law,
is
it
legal
for
an
individual
to
promote
and
host
large
cash
and
tournament
style
poker
games
in
the
state
of
Kentucky
Jacob.
C
So
I'll
tackle
that
one
I
think
you
all
would
appreciate
the
you
got
to
be
impressed
with
my
range
with
the
different.
C
There
is
one's
particular
license
that
is
available
for
a
special
fundraising
event
for
charitable
organizations
to
obtain
what
you're
describing
wouldn't
exactly
fit
with
my
understanding
of
how
that
would
work,
I
would
obviously
have
to
look
at
additional
details
to
say
for
sure,
but
generally
speaking,
no
that
wouldn't
be
something
that
I
think
would
fall.
Certainly
within
charitable
gaming,
I
would
draw
a
distinction
between
what
we
regulate
and
what
our
friends
at
the
state
police
would
enforce.
Our
world
tends
to
be
charitable
gaming.
C
C
G
C
So
what
how
I
kind
of
try
to
explain
it
to
everybody
is?
There
are
obviously
a
number
of
independent
boards
and
commissions
that
are
not
attached
to
us
in
any
formal
way.
I'll
I'll
compare
the
board
of
embalmers
to
the
board
of
psychologists.
Those
are
two
independent
regulatory
boards
that
are
created
by
statutes
have
their
own
statutory
scheme,
their
own
regulations,
the
psychologists
contract
with
us
to
provide
them
with
fiscal
oversight,
assistance
getting
their
bills
paid
issuing
their
licenses,
and
we
provide
an
attorney
to
their
board.
C
The
board
of
embalmers
does
not
do
that,
so
they
are
purely
independent
and
not
with
under
our
purview
at
all.
If
they
wanted
to
contract
with
us,
they
certainly
could.
That
is
I,
believe
it's
in
KRS
chapter
12
that
empowers
the
boards
to
contract
with
the
Department
of
Professional
Licensing
if
they
chose
to.
But
the
board
of
embalmers
at
present
does
not
contract
with
us
in
full
Candor.
They
have
in
the
past,
but
they
are
not
currently
with
us.
G
My
final
question
Mr
chair:
please:
could
you
give
us
just
a
very
quick
we've
got
other
other
questions
as
well
update
on
the
Western
Kentucky
relief
funds
and
how
much
is
in
there
and
how?
If
there
are
problems
with
folks
seeking
to
get
those
funds
into
their
Community,
what
are
the
challenges
that
you're,
seeing
that
the
folks
trying
to
get
the
money
into
the
communities
are
running
into
sure?
Thank
you.
F
F
After
that,
we
we
didn't
have
a
case
management
system,
so
we
rely
on
FEMA
and
so
FEMA
does
a
case
management
system.
And
if
you
applied
for
FEMA,
we
were
very
careful
not
to
duplicate
benefits.
You
have
to
work
with
them,
because
if
you
do
that
they
could
pull
back
money,
but
so
we
we
worked
with
them,
gave
additional
monies
on
top
of
what
FEMA
had
already
given
people.
F
One
advantage
to
West
Kentucky
than
East
Kentucky
is
Insurance
applied
a
lot
more
so
in
because
the
department
of
insurance
is
one
of
our
agencies,
we
did
a
data
call
with
them
to
find
out
who
had
filed,
claims,
tornado
claims,
and
then
we
gave
assistance
on
deductible
payments
to
insured.
So
that's
another
way.
The
fund
helped
we've
we're
also
partnering
with
three
non-profit
home
builders,
there's
home
for
Hope
Habitat
for
Humanity
and
Fuller
Center
they've
committed
with
a
total
of
16
million
dollars
from
the
fund
to
build
300
homes
in
the
area.
F
Do
you
know
how
many
homes
they've
built
I
mean
they're,
moving,
really
good
35
homes
they've
already
built
again
the
homes
for
hope.
The
Mennonites
provide
a
lot
of
the
labor.
For
that
we
provide
provided
funding
for
the
material.
The
Mennonites
provide
the
labor.
They
talk
take
off
during
this
time
of
year
to
do
their
crops,
but
once
that's
done
they're
back
to
building
so
we've
partnered
with
them.
We've
also
partnered
with
the
long-term
recovery
groups,
we've
given
them.
What
was
the
total
12
million
dollars
for
the
long-term
recovery
groups
in
the
area?
F
They
can
give
3
500
out
of
the
fund
per
individual,
and
you
have
to
keep
in
mind
that
our
funds-
and
that
was
a
little
problem
at
first,
because
we
couldn't
just
give
money
to
non-profits
because
they
charge
administrative
fees.
We
can't
charge
any
administrative
fee
out
of
our
fund.
The
only
fee
that
ever
came
out
of
that
was
credit,
credit
card
processing
fees
for
people
that
donate
with
there's
nothing.
F
We
could
do
about
that,
but
so
that
we
have
to
tie
each
dollar
to
an
individual
and
no
administrative
fees
can
come
in
like
that,
so
we're
working
with
them.
That
leaves
us
with
a
balance
of
9
million.
Two
hundred
and
eighty
two
thousand
dollars
left
in
that
fund,
we're
working
with
the
long-term
recovery
groups
and
also
there's
another
home
builder
in
the
area.
Some
local
churches
have
got
together
and
that's
specifically
Graves
County.
F
What's
the
name
of
that
one
hope
initiative
they've
submitted
a
request
to
build
20
to
25
homes
and
we're
going
to
work
with
them,
and
then
we
may
do
an
additional
additional
money.
If,
if
the
non-profit
home
builders
can
speed
it
up
and
meet,
or
you
know,
we
might
make
more
money
available
for
them
for
more
homes
in
the
area.
So
that's
kind
of
a
an
update
on
West
Kentucky,
tornado,
Relief,
Fund.
I
Thank
you,
chairman,
asking
my
regular
question
or
line
of
questioning
here
and
I'm
I'm,
particularly
curious,
I.
Don't
know
what
the
infrastructure
looks
like
you've
got
a
couple
dozen
Professional
Licensing
boards,
as
you
talked
about,
and
then
there
are
others.
I
didn't
realize
that
that
you
still
might
offer
some
sort
of
administrative
Aid
to
those
that
aren't
underneath
you,
but
that
are
independent.
Yeah.
B
I
Curious
what
the
sorry
I-
that's
just
the
professional
boards
portion
of
your
ridiculous
umbrella
here.
What
does
the
I.T
infrastructure
look
like
with
the
cabinet?
How
many
systems
are
there?
Do
all
of
the
subordinate
agencies
have
systems
that
talk
to
yours
or
are
there
independent
systems?
That's
a
big
open-ended
question
because
I
don't
know
exactly
what
it
looks
like
and
then
I
guess.
The
second
part
of
that
would
be
what
what
needs
to
be
improved.
C
So
I
can
speak
to
the
first
half
of
that
question
and
then
I'll
defer
to
the
secretary
and
the
chief
of
staff
for
the
second,
so
the
best
way
that
I
can
describe
it
is.
We
have
created
kind
of
a
shell
system
that
does
licensing.
The
entire
intention
of
that
system
is
to
do
licensing,
it's
a
massive
database
and
then
each
of
the
boards
that
we
serve
has
a
small
branch
of
that
system.
C
So
everything
is
still
kind
of
fed
into
what
I'd
call
it
and
I'm
sorry
I'm,
not
an
I.T
guy,
but
what
I
call
the
mothership
program
but
custom
built
into
different
things.
So
we
would
consider
things
like
how
much
is
your
license
fee?
What
is
the
license
term?
What
information
needs
to
be
kept
on
your
record
and
kind
of
custom
build
little
offshoots
of
that
master
program
for
each
of
the
board
that
contracts
with
us,
so
that
covers
your
Department
of
Professional
Licensing
boards
kind
of
how
they
function.
C
C
Secondarily
to
that,
and
so
all
of
those
boards
are
independent,
they
contract
with
us
for
services.
They
can
come
or
go
as
they
would
choose
to
do
so.
The
actual
entities
that
are
under
our
cabinet
when
we
assumed
office,
some
of
them,
were
using
third
party
vendors
to
provide
Licensing,
Service
I
know
ABC
was
under
a
third
party
vendor,
for
instance,
and
so
we
have
tasked
RIT
professionals
with
bringing
some
of
those
in-house
one.
Obviously,
for
savings
we
don't
have
to
pay
a
third
party,
but
two.
C
It
also
gives
us
the
ability
to
customize
that
software.
So,
for
instance,
ABC
licensing
is
coming
back
under
US
Secretary
mentioned
the
star
training
we
star
training
is
what
they
teach
servers,
so
you
don't
over
serve
somebody
when,
if
you're
a
bartender
or
a
server
that
was
administered
by
a
third
party,
its
significant
cost,
we've
now
brought
that
in-house.
It's
an
online
training
that
everyone
has
to
complete.
We
do
it
it's
under
our
control.
C
If
the
legislature
were
to
deem
it
appropriate
to
change
some
of
the
laws
related
to
drinking,
we
don't
have
to
ask
a
third
party
to
do
it.
We
just
update
the
changes
directly,
so
it
all
starts
from
a
Master
System,
because
issuing
a
license
fundamentally
is
the
same
task:
I'm,
verifying
that
you
have
met
certain
traditional
credentials
and
then
issuing
you
a
piece
of
paper
that
says
go
forward
and
practice.
We
can
just
customize
that,
based
on
your
particular
industry's
needs
now
in
terms
of
how
we
can
improve
I'll
turn
to
my
colleagues,
yeah.
F
And
Senator
Westerfield
I
can
I
can
provide
to
you.
This
is
we've
prepared
a
whole
big
list
of
all
of
our
RIT
initiatives.
What
we've
done,
how
much
money
it's
saved,
what
what's
in
the
hopper,
what
we're
working
on
the
goal
is
is
to
make
licensing
as
easy
as
possible
as
business
friendly
as
possible.
Ces
is
easy
as
possible.
Have
you
could
have
total
access
to
your
information?
Get
rich
go
paper.
C
It's
subject
to
particular
the
particular
board
if
they've
contracted
with
us,
but
with
all
the
most
all
the
DPL
boards.
Yes,
we
are
receiving
that
paperwork
and
entering
it
into
the
system.
No,
that's.
A
Right,
it
is
in
your
met,
your
data,
your
master,
Mothership
database.
Yes,.
A
C
It
now
some
boards,
we
have
What's
called
the
e-services
portal.
If
you
have
a
if
you're
a
licensee
of
any
of
our
boards,
you've
probably
heard
of
e-services
before
you
can
get
on
and
access
your
information
make
payments
upload
certain
documents,
it's
kind
of
a
record
that
follows.
You
forever
reminded
me
a
lot
of
like
your
college,
account
at
UK.
You
know
you
get
on
to
register
for
classes
and
pay
your
tuition
same
thing
for
us
just
with
a
professional
license
attached
right.
F
So
I
can
I'd
just
like
to
highlight
a
couple
of
areas.
When
we
came
on
board,
ABC
was
was
used
a
lot
utilizing
an
off-the-shelf
product
I
honestly,
with
the
with
the
I.T
staff.
We've
got
I'm,
not
a
fan
of
off-the-shelf
products.
I
If
I
can't
interrupt
in
the
interest
of
time,
I
I
I'm
very
interested
to
hear
and
I
want
to
see
that
document.
So
I
appreciate
you
preparing
that,
for
us.
Are
there
things
legislatively
that
you
need
the
legislature
to
do
to
improve
efficiency
in
your
cabinet?
I
appreciate
things
you're
doing
on
your
own
already
independently,
and
that
report
is
very
good
and
I'm
glad
to
hear
it.
I
But
the
objective
of
this
task
force
is
for
us
to
identify
whether
there
are
things
we
can
do
within
the
executive
branch
to
improve
your
efficiency
and
I'm,
asking
every
one
of
you
that
come
in.
Is
there
something
we
can
do
not
what
you're
doing
right
now
on
your
own,
which
is
fine
and
I,
don't
mean
to
step
on
your
shoes
there,
but
I
want
to
know
if
there
are
things
that
need
to
be
done,
that
you
can't
do
because
you
need
us
to
do
something.
That's
what
I'm
asking
for.
F
Quickly,
so
one
thing
is:
the
Department
of
financial
institutions
is
looking
at
a
reorg,
and
this
will
help
them
address.
What's
it
called
blockchain
technology
and
cryptocurrency,
that's
a
new
thing
coming
up,
so
we've
got
to
create
a
division
to
handle
that
it's
a
whole
level
of
expertise.
So
that's
that's
something
that
we
will
be
proposing
that
you
all
could
help
us
with
there.
I
can
tell
you
that.
F
While
it
I
mean
so,
a
lot
of
our
departments
are
getting
stripped
of
our
employees.
This
is
happening
more
so
with
the
Department
of
financial
institutions
than
any
other
agency.
The
Federal
Reserve
and
the
FDIC
have
always
tried
to
recruit
from
us
somewhat,
sometimes
successful,
not
as
much.
F
They
can
pay
a
whole
lot
more
money
than
we
can
what's
happening.
Lately
is
they're
calling
and
saying:
hey
come
to
work
for
us,
make
a
whole
lot
more
and
you
can
stay
there
in
Louisville.
You
don't
have
to
move
to
Chicago.
You
can
telecommute
five
days
a
week,
so
we're
losing
them
like
crazy
and
that's
a
very
specific
title.
These
examiners
and
it's
hard
to
find
these
people
it's
somewhat
competitive,
with
department
of
insurance
as
well
another
area
and
it
that,
and
you
all
helped
fund
additional
positions
in
housing
building
construction.
F
We
went
through
and
looked
at
all
these
titles
raised
them
got
them
up
to
what's
called
an
old
midpoint
to
help
with
salaries.
We
still
can't
compete
to
get
plan.
Reviewers,
County
governments
pay
more
than
our
state
plan
reviewers,
and
so
with
all
these
Economic
Development
projects.
That's
really
putting
a
strain
on
our
staff
right
now,
I
mean
every
time
I
hear
somebody's
thinking
about
leaving
I
panic.
You
know
because
we
don't
want.
The
last
thing
we
want
to
do
is
slow
somebody's
paperwork
or
plan
review
down.
F
F
H
C
H
H
So
representative
Mentor
I
mean
right
now,
honestly
we're
working
on
those
regulations
that
Bill
of
Rights
portion
and
drafting
those
that
is,
that
has
been
our
Focus
since
the
law
passed,
get
looking
at
all
the
best
practices,
certainly
reviewing
the
piece
of
legislation
that
you
sponsored
and
trying
to
incorporate
the
actual
specific
process
into
a
regulation
which
we're
working
on
drafting.
So
that's
been
the
focus
okay.
We
look
forward
to
seeing
that.
Thank
you
so
much.
A
Thank
you
and
what
may
be
the
last
question
is
from
co-chair
Mills.
G
Just
a
follow-up
question
about
working
from
home
telecommuting,
whatever
you
want
to
call
it
approximately,
how
much
of
your
staff
is
still
at
home?
How
many
are
in
a
hybrids
sense
and
where,
where
are
we
at
on
that
and
what
is
is
permanent,
a
permanent
office
policy
allowing
them
to
stay
out
or
is
there
an
executive
Authority?
That's
allowing
folks
to
work
from
home.
How?
Where,
where?
Where
does
that
stand.
F
There
there
is
a
new
permanent
policy.
It's
it's.
48
of
PPC
staff
are
on
a
hybrid
telecommute
policy
in
accordance
with
the
the
new
Statewide
telecommuting
policy,
so
they're
in
the
office
three
days
a
week
in
telecommute
two
days
a
week,
and
we
require
everybody
to
be
in
the
building
one
day
as
mostly
As.
We
can
on
on
one
day
just
to
work
together.
F
If
we
have
new
employees,
we,
if
the
first
six
months,
we
want
them
in
the
office
to
get
the
training.
This
is
something
we
noticed
during
the
pandemic
when
we
were
100
percent
telecommute.
C
And
just
to
clarify
that
48
percent
are
on
a
hybrid,
the
other
52
percent
are
actually
full-time.
What
I
would
call
on
the
job
in
the
office
may
not
be
a
fair
description.
They
tend
to
be
field
inspectors
with
HPC.
That's
a
difficult
task
to
complete
from
home,
for
understandable
reasons
in
terms
of
100
telecommuting,
I
think
we
would
have
a
negligible
number
and
those
would
almost
be
exclusively
medical,
accommodations,
yeah.
G
And
then,
in
your
opinion,
do
you
feel
like
that
that
state
government
is
a
good
place
to
see
positive
work
from
home
policies?
Do
you
think
that
it
affects
customer
General
customer
service
across
all
the
vast
umbrella
that
you
oversee?
In
other
words,
we're
concerned
about?
You
know
people
sending
an
email
and
not
getting
a
response
for
three
days,
getting
a
phone
call.
You
know
leaving
a
voicemail
and
not
getting
a
voice
call
back.
Do
you
have
policies
within
your
that
keep
that
from
happening?
Yes,.
F
Sir
I
actually
our
new,
and
we
designed
this
for
our
cabinet.
So
when
you
come
in
the
morning
or
you're
at
home,
you
log
in
if
you're
in
the
building
or
out
of
the
building-
and
this
is
not
only
for
telecommuting,
but
it's
also
with
telecommuting.
You
don't
know
if
there
was
a
fire
in
the
building.
You
know
typically
you're
supposed
to
grab
the
sign
in
and
out
sheets
and
go
out
and
you
take
raw,
and
you
know
who's
in
and
out
tell
the
community,
and
that
makes
it
work
you
know.
F
So
we
have
this
system
where
we
can
track
and
you
log,
if
you're
out,
outside
of
the
building
inside
the
building
working
home
or
working
in
the
office,
and
that
works
very
well.
We
also
have
audits.
We
require
managers
to
call
if
you
don't
answer
an
email
within
a
certain
time.
You
know
you
can
lose
your
telecommute
policy,
it's
your
telecommutability,
and
so
we
stay
on
that.
I
can
say
that
we've
had
very
few
complaints.
There
was
a
few
we'd
address,
it
I
think.
A
I've
long
been
an
advocate
of
work
from
home,
but
it's
got
to
have
the
ability
to
manage
their
what
they're
doing,
and
that
sounds
like
you're
on
that.
Yes,
sir
members,
we
are
going
to
wrap
this
up
unless
there
are
any
other
questions.
A
I
do
want
to
make
sure
that
you
look
through
the
material
that's
been
provided
and
if
you
have
follow-up
questions,
get
them
to
Mr
Carter
next,
next
to
me
and
we'll
ask
for
a
response
and
if
it
requires
a
more
detailed
explanation,
we'll
have
that
group
back
not
to
picking
on
you
all,
but
we
do
want
to
do
that
because
we
are
trying
to
Deep
dive
where
there
are
questions
and
concerns.
A
Are
there
any
other
matters?
Anyone
wants
to
bring
up
if
not
their
next
meeting
date
is
here:
Monday
October
24th
at
1
pm.
