THANK YOU. IN THEIR ROLES STAFF HAVE PREPARED A COMMUNITY GUIDEBOOK WHICH IS IN FRONT OF YOU SO YOU CAN JUST WALK THROUGH THE COMPONENTS OF THAT TYPE OF AND

SO I'LL STOP RIGHT THERE AND SEE IF THERE'S ANY QUESTIONS REGARDS TO THE CONTENTS OF THE MATTER BEFORE WE GO INTO MORE DETAIL EVERYBODY OKAY SO FAR OKAY PLEASE.

RIGHT. I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE I HAVE IT ON THE SCREEN HERE.

OKAY SO IF YOU COULD PLEASE GO TO TAB SIX AND OF COURSE IT GOES INTO MORE DETAIL IN REGARDS THE STRATEGIC WORKSHOP THE TOWN COUNCIL HAD ON MARCH 12TH AND THE PRIORITIES THAT WERE LAID OUT IN REGARDS TO OUR WORK PLAN FOR THE CALENDAR YEAR 24 AND THERE'S A FEW PAGES HERE THAT I WANT TO SKIP OF COURSE THE COMPONENTS OF FINDING HOME AND HOUSING AND AS WELL AS THE FOUR PILLARS AT ALL OF OUR HOUSING DRAFT. SO IF YOU GO TO THE THIRD PAGE IT OUTLINES THE PRIORITY INITIATIVES BY TOWN COUNCIL FOR US TO WORK ON AND I'M JUST GOING TO GET INTO MORE DETAIL THESE INITIATIVES. SO FIRST YOU HAVE EXECUTED PUBLIC PRIVATE AGREEMENT AS YOUR NEW TOWN COUNCIL DID RECENTLY THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE TOWN AND ONCE YOU RESIDENTIAL AND WE'LL GO TO YOUR POINT SO WE'RE VERY EXCITED ABOUT THAT SO NORTH POINT AND I'M AGREEMENT I MENTIONED BEFORE I'M SORRY GLEN UH ARE WE EVER GOING TO SEE FRAMEWORK OF THAT AGREEMENT OR THAT AGREEMENT NEEDS TO COME BEFORE THIS COMMITTEE SO AS WE GET LATER INTO THIS PRESENTATION WE'RE GOING TO DISCUSS IN A LITTLE BIT MORE DETAIL WHAT WE THINK THE NEXT STEPS ARE FOR THIS COMMITTEE AS IT RELATES TO NORTH POINT. IF YOU GO BACK AND WE LOOK AT THE TIMELINE FOR NORTH NORTH POINT WAS A PROJECT THAT STARTED THROUGH THE TOWN MANAGER AND TOWN COUNCIL LONG BEFORE THIS COMMITTEE WAS FORMED AND IN FACT TOWN COUNCIL HAD FORMED THEIR OWN ADVISORY COMMITTEE AGAIN BEFORE THIS COMMITTEE WAS FORMED TO HELP LEAD THAT EFFORT.

AND SO THAT COMMITTEE ALONG WITH TOWN COUNCIL BEEN TASKED WITH WITH TURNING A LOT OF THAT OUT THAT WORK UP TO THIS POINT. NOW IT DOESN'T MEAN THAT THERE'S NOT GOING TO BE WORK FOR YOU ALL TO CONTEMPLATE INVOLVEMENT TO HAVE IN THAT PROJECT WE'RE JUST NOW STARTING TO GET INTO THAT NOW THAT THERE'S THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENTS IN PLACE AND SO AS WE GET LATER WE HAVE A COUPLE OF OF ACTION STEPS ACTION ITEMS THAT WILL TAKE THE NEXT 90 TO 120 DAYS AND THEN EVEN IN THE LONG TERM WITH HOW THIS THIS COMMITTEE CAN GET INVOLVED IN THAT PROJECT NOW THAT WE HAVE THAT FRAMEWORK IN PLACE. BUT THAT FRAMEWORK HAS BEEN ADOPTED. IT'S BEEN AND IT'S IT'S IT'S IT'S IN PLACE FOR THAT THE PURPOSE OF THIS COMMITTEE WAS TO LOOK FOR THAT ALL OPTIONS BE INVOLVED IN ALL THINGS YOU HAVE EXPRESSLY CUT US OUT OF THAT AT THIS POINT UP TO NOW IS NOT ACCEPTABLE THAT NEEDS TO BE CORRECTED AND WE HAVE SOME AND AGAIN WE HAVE SOME OPPORTUNITIES THIS COMMITTEE TO GET INVOLVED IN NORTH POINT AS WE MOVE FORWARD THE THE INFORMATION ABOUT NORTH POINT TODAY AND THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT AND THAT INFORMATION IS AVAILABLE TO US, IS IT NOT OR OR VOTING YES, ABSOLUTELY. THE DOCUMENTS THAT THE AGREEMENT'S BEEN EXECUTED IT'S A IT'S A IT'S A PUBLIC DOCUMENT CAN THAT CAN BE SHARED. NOW I I THINK THE ISSUE THERE, STUART, IS THAT THAT INITIATIVE WAS WELL UNDERWAY THE TIME WE GOT WE GOT FORMED TO THAT IN THE SENSE IS THAT IT HAD BEEN ANNOUNCED THAT THEY WERE GOING TO GO FORWARD WITH THAT AND THAT THEY HAD A PARTNER THEY COULD HAVE INVOLVED US AT THAT POINT THEY NOT TO THAT IS A SIGNIFICANT FAILURE BY THIS AND THIS COMMITTEE OKAY OKAY OKAY NO OKAY.

ALL THANK YOU. SO AGAIN IN REGARDS TO NORTH POINT NAUGHT, POINT WILL BE 150

[00:10:07]

SO OF COURSE WE'RE WE'RE REALLY EXCITED TO SEE THAT PROJECT MOVE FOR AN AMENITIES AND PROGRAMS THAT PRIORITIZE THE WELL-BEING THE QUALITY OF LIFE OF RESIDENTS WILL BE THE MAIN FOCUS OF NORTH POINT. SO SOME OTHER INITIATIVES THAT WE HAVE THAT WE'RE GOING TO FOCUS ON IS SUPPORTIVE. THE HOUSING COMMITTEE'S ENDORSED 2024 WORK PLAN.

SO THE ITEMS THAT WERE GOING THROUGH THAT ARE ON SCREEN RIGHT NOW IS THAT WORK PLAN.

THIS WILL BE OUR FOCUS THE NEXT CALENDAR YEAR AND OF COURSE I'LL GO INTO FURTHER DETAIL AND HOW THE HOUSING ACTION COMMITTEE COULD BE DEEPLY INVOLVED IN EACH ONE OF THESE INITIATIVES. SO CURRENTLY WE HAVE IMPLEMENT THE LOWCOUNTRY HABITAT FOR HUMANITY AND YOU THE COMMITTEE AND RESOURCES AND CONNECTIONS ARE INVALUABLE TO THIS EFFORT IN REGARDS TO HABITAT WE THERE'S SOME OPPORTUNITIES FOR YOU ALL TO WORK WITH US REGARDS TO LOCATING PROPERTIES ETC. IN REGARDS TO HABITAT BUILDING HOMES ON THE ISLAND IMPLEMENTING THE CDC IMO YOU STAFF HAS OVERSIGHT OF THE MSU AT THIS TIME WE DON'T WE DO NOT ANTICIPATE NEEDING ANY ASSISTANCE FROM THE COMMITTEE AND REGRETS THAT MSU IMPLEMENTED THE HOME SAFETY AND REPAIR LATERAL SEWER CONNECTION PROGRAMS. THIS IS JUST SOMETHING YOU KNOW THAT WE WANT TO ENSURE THAT YOU ALL ARE AWARE OF AND WE ANTICIPATE HAVING HISTORIC NEIGHBORHOODS PRINCIPAL PLANNER COME AND PRESENT MAYBE ON A QUARTERLY BASIS UPDATES AND REGARDS TO THE HOME SAFETY AND REPAIR PROGRAM AS WELL AS THE LATERAL SEWER CONNECTION PROGRAM IN QUINCY THAT IS THAT THAT POINT IS NOT WITHIN OUR PURVIEW BUT PROVIDE FOR INFORMATION THAT AGAIN I'M SORRY THAT THE SAFE PROGRAM IS NOT IN AND IN OUR PURVIEW OF THE HOUSING ACTION COMMITTEE CURRENTLY WILL BE KEPT INFORMED ABOUT THAT. YES, THAT'S CORRECT. OKAY.

I WILL BE BREAKING THE INFORMATION NEXT IMPLEMENTING THE FUNDING HOME PLAN THROUGH THE FOLLOWING ACTIONS DEVELOPING AND ADOPTING THE DISPLACEMENT, MITIGATION AND SUPPORT WHICH IS IN FRONT OF YOU TODAY CREATING A HOUSING WORKFORCE HOUSING METRICS DASHBOARD TOWN STAFF IS BEGINNING TO OUTLINE THE GOALS, OBJECTIVES AND DATA POINTS FOR THIS DASHBOARD. IT BRING A DRAFT TO YOU FOR REVIEW IN THE COMING MONTHS NEXT EVALUATING EXISTING WORKFORCE HOUSING POLICIES AND RECOMMEND HOUSING POLICIES AS PART OF THE ALAMO ALAMO AMENDMENT SO WHILE THIS IS A PRIORITY THIS IS NOT THE HIGHEST PRIORITY FOR THE COMMITTEE AT THIS TIME. BUT WE WILL BE PRESENTING UPDATES THROUGHOUT THE CALENDAR YEAR NEXT DEVELOPMENT MONEY CREEK NEIGHBORHOOD STABILIZATION PLAN WE ANTICIPATE THIS BEING A PROJECT THAT THE HOUSING HAS COMMITTEE COULD BE DEEPLY INVOLVED IN FROM HIGHLIGHTING ORGANIZATIONS WITHIN THE REGION THAT MAY BE GOOD PARTNERS TO WORK WITH THOSE IN REGARDS TO CREATING THE STABILIZATION AND WE ALSO LIKE A NEIGHBORHOOD MEETING TO KICK OFF THE PROJECT THAT WE WILL LOVE THE HOUSING COMMITTEE TO WORK WITH US TO INITIATE AND FINALLY DEVELOPING A RFP FOR THE BRYANT ROAD PROJECT.

UNLIKE THE NORTHPOINT SITE WHICH IS RENTAL BASED THE BRYANT ROAD PROJECT WILL BE IT WILL SUPPORT A PATHWAY TO HOMEOWNERSHIP SO THESE WOULD BE DWELLINGS THAT FOLKS COULD PURCHASE ON THE ISLAND IN THE NEXT 90 DAYS TILE STAFF WANTS TO RELEASE AN RFP FOR THIS PROPERTY AND NEEDS GUIDANCE FROM THE COMMITTEE IN REGARDS TO PREPARING THIS FORMULA.

SO WE WILL HOPE THAT THE HOUSING COMMITTEE CAN HELP WITH THAT AS WELL.

SO WITH THIS THIS IS THE DIRECTION THE TOWN COUNCIL HAS ESTABLISHED FOR ALL OF US AS.

IT RELATES TO HOUSING INITIATIVES FOR THE REMAINDER OF 2020 FOR TO HELP FACILITATE THIS IMPLEMENTATION TASK STAFF PROPOSES THAT THE HOUSING ACTION COMMITTEE FORMED THE FOLLOWING WORK GROUPS THE MUD CREEK NEIGHBORHOOD AND BRYANT ROAD PROJECT WORK GROUP, THE LAND ACQUISITION AND DEVELOPMENT WORK GROUP DISPLACEMENT AND SUPPORT WORK GROUP AND THE LAND MANAGEMENT ORDINANCE WORK GROUP AND IF SUPPORTED BY THE HOUSE AND ACT COMMITTEE WE COULD GO INTO MORE DETAIL IN REGARDS TO THE NATIONALS THOSE PARTICULAR WORK GROUPS COULD WORK ON AND AND WHEN GET TO THE POINT FURTHER DOWN ON THE AGENDA ABOUT WORK GROUPS WELL WE'LL PASS OUT A DRAFT OF THAT HOW THOSE INITIATIVES CAN CAN WORK THROUGH THE WORK OR PROCESS. OKAY THANK YOU. OKAY.

AND I'M OPEN TO ANY QUESTIONS THAT THAT ESSENTIALLY ENDS THIS PART OF THE AGENDA.

OKAY. BEFORE WE GO TO QUESTIONS FROM COMMITTEE, ARE THERE ANY PUBLIC COMMENTS ON ON THIS PARTICULAR ITEM? VERY NONE.

HOW ABOUT FROM THE HOUSING ACTION COMMITTEE COMMENTS QUESTIONS I GUESS I JUST A

[00:15:08]

IT IS THAT THIS IS WHAT WE THIS IS THE DIRECTION THAT TOWN STAFF HAS BEEN GIVEN BY BY COUNCIL AS FAR AS THESE ARE PRIORITIES THAT TOWN COUNCIL AS A AS A AS A GROUP HAS SAID WHEN IT RELATES TO HOUSING AND THERE'S A WHOLE BUNCH OF OTHER TOPICS THAT THEY'VE PROVIDED PRIORITIES ON BOTH RELATES TO HOUSING OUR CURRENT FOCUS AND OUR CURRENT PRIORITIES ON THOSE ITEMS THAT ARE ON THE SCREEN RIGHT THERE IT MEAN THERE ARE GOING TO BE OTHER ITEMS THAT THAT WE MOVE FORWARD WITH AFTER WE GET THROUGH THIS 90 TO 120 DAY PERIOD THERE WILL BE A CONVERSATION WE'LL HAVE WITH YOU ALL AND THEN WE'LL TAKE THAT TO TOWN COUNCIL AND, SEE WHAT THEY WOULD LIKE TO INCORPORATE INTO THEIR NEXT ROTATION PLAN THAT'LL TAKE PLACE IN 2025. AND SO THIS IS THIS IS KIND OF THIS WAS REALLY IN ALIGNMENT IS AS MR. WHITE SAID, THIS IS A REAL WE'RE TRYING TO EVERYBODY UP WITH WHAT OUR PRIORITIES HAVE BEEN GIVEN MY TOWN COUNCIL AND THEN WE'LL WORK TOGETHER TO MOVE FORWARD TO MAKE SURE WE KEEP THAT ALIGNMENT AND SUBSEQUENT STRATEGIC ACTION PLAN YEARS AS AS WE MOVE FORWARD ON THAT THE CRITICAL MORE BUT WE SHOULD HAVE INVOLVED IN THOSE DISCUSSIONS ABOUT WHAT WE DO BE GOLD RATHER THAN BEING DICTATED TO THIS IS WHAT YOU'RE DOING AND YOU ABSOLUTELY WILL BE INVOLVED IN THOSE CONVERSATIONS. I'VE ALREADY MADE THE DECISION THAT THIS IS ALL WE'RE DOING THAT'S COMPLETE. THAT WAS MY THAT'S WHAT THIS COMMITTEE WAS FOR AND THAT WAS MY OVERVIEW AND. WE WERE SUPPOSED TO BE LED BY QUINCY AS THE CHIEF HOUSING OPERATION OFFICER. THAT IS NOT WHAT'S HAPPENING HERE AND THAT WAS MY POINT OF MIND AND I COULD BE WRONG. MY INTERPRETATION IS THAT THIS COMMITTEE WAS SET UP AS A SEPARATE COMMITTEE TO DETERMINE CERTAINLY IN CONCERT WITH THE TOWN STAFF AND TOWN COUNCIL BUT WHAT WE THINK THE PRIORITIES NEED TO BE AND WHERE WE THINK WE SHOULD BE SPENDING TIME SO IT JUST FUELS LITTLE BACKWARDS TO ME IN IN THIS FIRST YEAR BECAUSE WE'RE STILL IN THE FIRST YEAR OF OF THIS COMMITTEE IT MIGHT IT PROBABLY A LITTLE BIT BACKWARDS BECAUSE YOU WERE FORMED I BELIEVE IN NOVEMBER OCTOBER OF LAST YEAR.

SO WORK ON COUNCIL'S ACTION PLAN WAS FOR THIS CURRENT YEAR THAT WE'RE IN RIGHT NOW ALREADY WELL UNDERWAY AND SO YES SOME OF YOU WERE NOT INCLUDED IN THAT AND THAT IS THE FIRST PROBLEM. BUT WHAT I'M SAYING IS THAT THE ALIGNMENT OF OUR SCHEDULES AND WHEN YOU WERE FORMED WE'RE NOT IN SEQUENCE MOVING FORWARD WE WILL BE IN SEQUENCE AND BE WILL HAVE AN ABSOLUTELY AN OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE CONVERSATIONS TELL US SO ALSO NORTH BY TOWN COUNCIL WHAT YOU SEE THE PRIORITIES TO BE ULTIMATELY THOUGH IT WOULD BE THE DECISION OF TOWN COUNCIL AS TO DETERMINE WHAT THOSE PRIORITIES ARE MOVING FORWARD AND THERE MAY BE SOME OTHER THINGS THAT THEY SEE AS PRIORITIES THAT THAT THAT YOU ALL AND WE ALL THE STAFF DO NOT HAVE ON OUR LIST AND AND WHY WE GO THROUGH THIS ENTIRE PROCESS.

AND SO I DON'T DISAGREE PROBABLY ESPECIALLY THE NEW GUY AT THE TABLE IT PROBABLY FEELS A LITTLE BACKWARDS BUT MOVING FORWARD CAN WE CAN ALL BE IN SEQUENCE AND WORKING TOGETHER TO MAKE SURE WE'RE ALL ALIGNED WE MOVE FORWARD WE THANK LISA MY UPSET COMPARED TO THE FACT THAT WE HAVE BEEN IN PLACE FOR ALMOST A YEAR NOW AND WE HAVE NOT HAD MEETING WITH THE STRATEGIC PLANNING GROUP OF THE TOWN AT ALL THEY HAVE NEVER COME INTO THIS MEETING AND SAID THIS IS WHERE WE WE'RE GOING OR ANY OF THAT. NONE OF THAT WE HAVE BASICALLY BEEN SPINNING WHEELS FOR A YEAR AND NOW YOU'RE TELLING US THAT YOU KNOW WE'RE NOT GOING TO LET YOU SPEND YOUR ELSEWHERE, WE'RE GOING TO PUT YOU ON THIS WHICH IS NOT WHAT THIS COMMITTEE WAS FORMED TO DO. YOU KNOW, WE HAD A PURVIEW AT LEAST THE WAY IT WAS EXPLAINED TO US AT THE BEGINNING WHEN WE WERE APPOINTING TO THIS COMMITTEE WAS WE WERE TO HAVE A LOOK AT THE WHOLE ISSUE REGARDING IT AND THAT WAS THE REASONING FOR HIRING OF A CHIEF HOUSING TO HAVE CONTROL OVER ALL THAT AND THAT STAFF TO SUPPORT THIS COMMITTEE NOT RUN THIS COMMITTEE. THAT'S THE OPPOSITE WHAT'S HAPPENING I MEAN I DON'T KNOW HOW ELSE TO SAY THAT JUST EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED. YOU KNOW YOU'VE ALLOCATED A BUDGET ABSOLUTELY NONE OF IT IS TO ANY OF THE PRIORITIES THAT WE HAD AS THIS COMMITTEE GOING FORWARD. AND IF I CAN JUST JUMP IN TO PIGGYBACK OFF WHAT YOU SAY MY SORRY MIKE, PLEASE IF I COULD JUST JUMP IN TO PIGGYBACK OFF WHAT STUART IS SAYING.

I DO RECALL IN I BELIEVE THE FIRST MEETING THAT WE HAD OR MAYBE THE SECOND MEETING THAT

[00:20:05]

SO YEAH, GO ON, YOU'RE NEW TO THE GAME. SO I WOULD JUST SAY IN ADDITION TO WHAT IT WAS TO YOU KNOW THAT THE LAST MEETING WAS CANCELED AND IT WASN'T CANCELED ON OUR BEHALF AT LEAST I DON'T THINK SO. I THINK OUR CHAIR WOULD HAVE SHARED THAT AND SO THAT'S WHERE IT FEELS LIKE WE'RE KIND OF BEING PUT IN ON TALKS AND THAT MAY NOT BE THE INTENT AT ALL BUT I THINK IT'S JUST NEED TO BE ABLE TO HAVE CANDID CONVERSATIONS ABOUT WHERE WE ARE AND ALSO TO UNDERSTAND WHERE THE STAFF IS.

AND I UNDERSTAND YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES TO TOWN COUNCIL AND SO FORTH BUT I THINK AS A NEW PERSON YOU NEED TO UNDERSTAND SHAWN AT LEAST WHAT WE HAD OUR MINDS AS TO WHAT THIS COMMITTEE WOULD BE TRYING TO I DON'T MEAN TO FURTHER THROW YOU UNDER THE BUS HERE. I'M ONE OF THE NEWER MEMBERS ALSO AND WHEN THE FIRST THING THEY DID IS READ THE RESOLUTION APPOINTING THIS GROUP AND OBVIOUSLY IN THE COUPLE I THINK IN THE FIRST PARAGRAPH IT INDICATES WE OUGHT TO BE INVOLVED IN MAKING RECOMMENDATIONS AS IF AS TO HOUSING AND SO FORTH. IT JUST SEEMS TO ME THAT THAT SHOULD BE SOMEWHERE ON AN AGENDA AT SOME MEETINGS WHERE WE HAVE THAT ABILITY.

SO FIRST OF ALL I UNDERSTAND EVERYTHING THAT SAYING THAT'S WHY WE'RE HAVING THIS MEETING HERE AS TO DO WANT TO DO A BIT OF A RESET ON EXPECTATIONS AND WHERE WE ARE AS A STAFF AS A AS AS A COMMITTEE AND SO THAT WE CAN MOVE FORWARD AND HAVE IT ALIGNED WITH WHERE WE ARE.

YES. I DO RECOGNIZE YOU HAVE INVOLVEMENT IN NECESSARILY WHAT IS UP THERE BUT A LOT OF IT'S IMPORTANT THOUGH TO A LOT OF THE THINGS THAT ARE UP ON THAT BOARD CAME FROM THE FINDING HOME PLAN WHICH IS WHAT ALL REALLY KIND OF FOCUS IN ON.

SO THERE IS SOME ALIGNMENT WITH WITH WITH YOUR MISSION WITH THE FUNDING HOME PLAN AND ULTIMATELY WHAT WE'RE ALL TRYING TO ACCOMPLISH AS FAR AS HOW WE MOVE YES IN THE FUTURE AGENDA THERE WILL BE CONVERSATION ABOUT THE UPCOMING STRATEGIC ACTION PLAN AND WHAT ITEMS COULD THIS COMMITTEE BECAUSE YOU ARE AN ADVISORY COMMITTEE TO TOWN COUNCIL ITEMS DO YOU WANT TO PUT IN FRONT OF TOWN COUNCIL FOR THEIR CONSIDERATION THAT WILL BE PROBABLY LATER THIS FALL AS AS TOWN MANAGER AND REALLY SHAWN COLUMN THE OTHER ASSISTANT TOWN MANAGER IT THROUGH IS HELPING LEAD THE STRATEGIC PLAN EFFORT AS PART OF HIS ROLE WILL BE HELPING TO BRING AND FACILITATE THOSE CONVERSATIONS COMING UP SO YES THERE'S THIS LOOK AT THIS AS A RESET THIS IS A POINT MAYBE A NEW POINT OF BEGINNING BUT THERE'S THERE'S A LOT OF OTHER STEPS THAT WE'RE GOING TO TAKE ALONG THE WAY TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE ACCOMPLISHING THE THINGS THAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT THAT'S JUST NOT ACCEPTABLE AND IT'S UNACCEPTABLE THAT THIS COMMITTEE WAS FORMED TO HELP ATTACK THE WHOLE WORKFORCE HOUSING THING WE HAVE FROM THE DAY THIS COMMITTEE HAS NOT BEEN INVOLVED IN ANY PLANNING DISCUSSIONS HAS ALL BEEN DONE BY THE STAFF LEVEL AND IT'S JUST BEEN FILTERED DOWN TO US AT TIMES WE HAVE NEVER BEEN ASKED TO BE INVOLVED. WE HAVE ASKED TO INVOLVED AND HAVE NOT BEEN GIVEN THAT WHAT YOU ARE NOW DOING IS PUTTING US INSIDE A SMALLER BOX OF THINGS THAT HAVE ALREADY BEEN DECIDED AND THAT DOES NOT REALLY MAKE USE OF THIS COMMITTEE THE WAY IT WAS ENGENDERED IN THE WAY IT WAS CHARTER SO GOING TO PUSH BACK REALLY HARD HERE AND I DON'T I MEAN TO SPEAK FOR EVERYBODY ELSE BUT I FEEL QUITE HONESTLY THAT YOU HAVE BASICALLY JUST TOLD ME THAT THE LAST YEAR I'VE SPENT IN THIS ROOM HAS BEEN AN ENTIRE WASTE OF TIME AND THAT NOTHING WAS SAID OR DETERMINED HERE IS IMPORTANT BECAUSE YOU NOW HAVE DECIDED THIS IS ALL DOING AND THAT IS NOT AND I APOLOGIZE I KNOW YOU'RE NEW THIS POSITION YOU HAVE NOT BEEN INVOLVED IN IT FROM DAY ONE BUT QUINCY'S BEEN HERE SINCE FEBRUARY.

YOU KNOW MRS. BENNETT SINCE DAY ONE. THAT IS NOT THE DIRECTION THAT WE WERE SOLD ON THIS COMMITTEE TO BE ON AND WE'VE ALL VOLUNTEERED A LOT OF TIME.

WE'VE SPENT SOME EFFORT OUTSIDE DOING OUR OWN WORKSHOPS ABOUT WHAT WE THINK IS IMPORTANT AND NONE OF THAT INFORMATION HAS BEEN INCORPORATED TO ANY OF THESE PLANS AND I TAKE GREAT UMBRAGE AT BEING I'M GOING TO SAY BELITTLED AND PUT TO THE SIDE HERE IS WHAT WE'RE DOING HERE AND THAT'S JUST NOT ACCEPTABLE AND AND I AM IMPLORING YOU FIRST TO REASSESS WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT RIGHT NOW GO BACK GO BACK TO WHAT OUR CHARTER WAS FROM DAY ONE WE'RE

[00:25:02]

IN FACT WHEN I'VE ASKED ABOUT IT I'M TOLD OH WE'VE GOT IT HANDLED.

SO IT'S THERE ARE MAJOR AND THE EXAMPLE WAS WHEN WE FIRST TOLD ABOUT NORTH POINT IT WAS GOING TO BE 300 UNITS ALL WORKFORCE HOUSING NOW GOT CUT TO 50% OF THAT AND WE SAID THAT'S WHAT IT NEEDED TO GET ACCOMPLISHED. SO THESE ARE THE THINGS THAT WE HAVE NOT HAD ANY INPUT AND CONTINUE TO BE NOW BEING BOXED OUT EVEN FURTHER. SO IF THAT IS THE INTENT OF STAFF AND THE COUNCIL TO DO THAT THEN I FOR ONE WOULD SAY I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE POINT OF THIS COMMITTEE IS AND I AM AGAIN I DON'T KNOW IF ANYONE AGREES WITH ME OR DISAGREE WITH ME BUT THAT'S MY FEELINGS THE MOMENT. WELL I THINK WE'VE MADE OUR POINTS AND SO MY AND I DON'T DISAGREE IS THAT THAT'S AN ACTION ITEM TO COME BACK AND MAYBE LET'S HAVE A CONVERSATION ABOUT HOW I WOULD I WOULD ENCOURAGE US TO LOOK AT HOW WE PUT THE AGENDA TOGETHER THE AGENDA I THINK PRIMARILY GIVEN TO US.

I THINK IT SHOULD BE COAUTHORED SO YOU KNOW OUR DESIRES AND NEEDS ARE INCORPORATED INTO AGENDA. SO I, I FOR THE SAKE OF TIME I WOULD JUST RECOMMEND STUART I THINK YOU'VE BEEN HEARD AND SPOKE AND I WOULD JUST ASK THAT THAT'S AN ACTION ITEM AND THAT'S WHY I IF I COULD GET THAT IT'S ACTUALLY SOMETHING VERY SPECIFIC THAT.

WE'VE HAD MYSELF THE TOWN MANAGER HAVE HAVE HAD A CONVERSATION WITH THE CHAIRMAN ABOUT IS WHEN THE AGENDA DOES IS PUT TOGETHER THAT WORK COOPERATIVELY WITH YOUR CHAIRMAN AND MAKE SURE THAT THAT REFLECTIVE OF WHAT WE NEED TO ACCOMPLISH AS A STAFF BUT ALSO WHAT YOU'RE TRYING ACCOMPLISH AS AS A HOUSE AN ACTION COMMITTEE SO THAT IT'S SOMETHING THAT AS MOVE FORWARD WILL BE SOMETHING THAT WE DO. PERFECT THANK YOU.

IF I CAN JUST ADD TO THAT. YES. MARK ORLANDO AND SHAWN CALLED ME TO A MEETING THIS WEEK TO TALK ABOUT THESE ISSUES WHERE. WE WERE HOW HOW I FELT THINGS WERE GOING A LOT OF THE ISSUES BEING RAISED HERE WERE EXPRESSED IN THAT IN THAT MEETING AND THERE WAS ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF THAT BY TOWN LEADERSHIP AND A DESIRE EXPRESSED TO CHANGE THAT MAKE IT MAKE IT WORK BETTER BECAUSE I HAVE TO AGREE WITH STUART A LOT OF WHAT WE'VE TRIED TO DO IN THE FIRST YEAR HAS BEEN SOME WASTED TIME.

BUT I DO SENSE THERE'S AN AWARENESS THAT THERE IS A NEED FOR A HOUSING ACTION COMMITTEE TO DO WHAT WE CAN DO. AND I WOULD SAY EVEN IN THE SHORT WE'RE WE ARE NOT EVEN THOUGH TOWN COUNCIL HAS A A GROUP OF PRIORITIES WITHOUT DIRECT CONSULTATION WITH US THAT DOES NOT MUZZLE US FROM TALKING ABOUT WHAT WE WANT TO TALK ABOUT IN THESE MEETINGS AND. WE'LL GO THROUGH THESE WORKGROUPS IN ITEM D HERE THE NAME ADDRESS OUT A LITTLE BETTER BUT I THINK WE'RE SEEING SOME SOME POSITIVE OF HOPE FOR US BEING ABLE TO CONTRIBUTE POSITIVELY TO IT DESPITE THE HISTORY TO THE CONTRARY OVER THE PAST PAST YEAR. I HOPE I HOPE THAT THE TRUE STATEMENT OF OTHER COMMENTS ON THIS PARTICULAR ISSUE QUICK QUESTION DOES THAT INCLUDE YOUR YOUR PART OF THE PRESENTATION? YEAH. IN REGARDS TO THIS YES. EXCEPT OF YOU I WOULD LIKE TO GO INTO MORE DETAIL IN REGARDS SOME OF THE INTEREST THAT WE FEEL THAT THE WORK GROUPS COULD ASSIST WITH. THAT CONCLUDES THIS PART OF THE PRESENTATION.

OKAY. WHY DON'T WE SIT FOR ITEM D HERE WHEN WE WHEN WE BRING THAT UP AGAIN? THAT WAS ALL FOR INFORMATION. NO NO VOTE OBVIOUSLY REQUIRED

[4.b. Displacement Mitigation Support Plan Recommendation - Quincy White, Chief Housing Officer]

QUINCY, BACK TO YOU. ALL RIGHT. SO AGAIN, GOOD MORNING.

SO IN FRONT OF YOU YOU HAVE THE DISPLACEMENT INTEGRATION SUPPORT PLAN WE'VE BEEN WORKING

[00:30:06]

OKAY. SO AGAIN, THE DISPLACEMENT MITIGATION SUPPORT PLAN IS ANCHORED IN THE COMMUNITY PILLAR FOCUSING ON THE FUNDING STRATEGIC SOLUTIONS TO SUPPORT DISPLACED RESIDENTS IN RESPONSE TO THE CHALLENGES POSED BY DISPLACEMENT EVENTS.

THIS PLAN IS DESIGNED TO PROVIDE ESSENTIAL SERVICES AND SUPPORT TO DISPLACED RESIDENTS BY LEVERAGING THE COLLABORATIVE EFFORTS OF VARIOUS TEAMS AND PARTNERS ENSURING A AND EFFECTIVE RESPONSE COMMUNITY PARTNERS WILL LEAD AND PROVIDING SUPPORT FOR RESIDENTS WHILE UTILIZING PRIVATE FUNDING DEDICATED TO DISPLACEMENT MITIGATION EFFORTS.

THE TOWN CONVENED MULTIPLE COMMUNITY MEETINGS WITH STAKEHOLDERS TO DEVELOP A COMMUNITY RESPONSE AND FORMULATE THIS PLAN THROUGH VIRTUAL AND IN-PERSON MEETINGS AND WORKSHOPS STAKEHOLDERS HELP DEFINE KEY STRATEGIES RECOMMENDATIONS AND BARRIERS TO SUCCESS. THE PARTNERS WERE SELECTED FOR THEIR EXTENSIVE EXPERIENCE IN MANAGING DISPLACEMENT EVENTS. THOSE LEAD PARTNERS INCLUDE CHRIST LUTHERAN CHURCH, THE COMMUNITY OF THE LOWCOUNTRY AS WELL AS THE DEEP WILL PROJECT. LET'S SEE IF I READ THIS ONE THING I DID NOT GET OUT OF IT THIS IS WHAT FUNDING IS THE TOWN PROVIDING THIS THIS WOULD BE A PRIVATELY FUNDED INITIATIVE SAME SAID AGAIN SORRY PROVIDING ZERO FUNDING SO THIS IS ENTIRELY ON DEEP BASICALLY NO THAT'S THAT'S NOT CORRECT SO THE COMMUNITY OF THE LOWCOUNTRY WOULD DEVELOP A DISPLACEMENT FUND THAT COULD BE SUPPORTED BY DONATIONS FROM LOCAL RESIDENTS AND THOSE FUNDS WOULD BE UTILIZED TO SUPPORT NOT ONLY WELL BUT OTHER COMMUNITY PARTNERS AS THEY PROVIDE SERVICES TO DISPLACED RESIDENTS.

I GUESS MY CONCERN IS HERE WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN I MEAN THE TOWN YOU'VE WRITTEN UP THIS NICE LITTLE PLAN YOU BASICALLY SAY IT'S BEING FUNDED BY SOMEONE ELSE.

THESE ORGANIZATIONS ARE GOING TO DO THESE THINGS. WHAT DOES THE TOWN DO? WELL, I WOULD SAY A FEW THINGS . I THINK INFORMATION IS IS A COMMODITY THAT CANNOT BE MEASURED. SO WHEN SO MANY THE INITIAL DISPLACEMENT EVENT OCCURRED, YOU KNOW, A LOT OF FOLKS WERE KIND OF FLAT FOOTED WHEN IT OCCURRED AND YOU KNOW, IF YOU WERE GOING THROUGH A DISPLACEMENT EVENT YOU WILL HAVE TO, YOU KNOW, FIND A LOT OF THESE ORGANIZATIONS ON YOUR OWN.

RIGHT. WHEREAS WITH THIS PLAN THROUGH OUR INITIAL PROCESS INTERNALLY WE'LL BE ABLE TO NOTIFY THE LEAD AGENCY WITHIN COMMUNITY RESPONSE TEAM EARLY ON IF A DISPLACEMENT EVENT IS OCCURRING WHICH GIVES MORE TIME TO DEVELOP A TEAM TO DEVELOP A PLAN AND TO PROVIDE SERVICES TO THOSE THAT ARE GOING THROUGH THE DISPLACEMENT EVENT.

SO I THINK IN THAT WAY THE COMMUNICATION THAT THE TOWN IS PROVIDING TO THE COMMUNITY PARTNERS IS IS SOMETHING THAT IS UNIQUE TO THIS PLAN AS WELL AS FORMALIZING A TEAM SO THAT IF YOU ARE GOING THROUGH A DISPLACEMENT EVENT ON THE ISLAND YOU KNOW WHO TO GO TO FOR THAT LEVEL OF SUPPORT. I GUESS MY OBJECTIONS ARE GOING TO BE HERE IS THAT ONE? WHY ISN'T THE TOWN PROVIDING FUNDING FOR THIS? WE HAVE A 160 ODD MILLION DOLLAR BUDGET. WE'VE PUT $4 MILLION TO HOUSING PROJECTS.

WE HAVE DONE NOTHING TOWARDS SOCIAL SERVICES ASPECT OF THIS ASPECT OF DISPLACEMENT NOTHING IN THE BUDGET COVERS THIS AND YOU CAN'T EXPECT THE CHARITY OF OTHERS LOWCOUNTRY RE FOUNDATION FOR DEEP WELL OR ANYONE ELSE TO PICK UP THE SLACK WITH.

THIS IS A TOWN ISSUE NOT JUST LOOK AT THE TOWN ISSUE. THE TOWN SHOULD BE PROVIDING SOME FUNDING FOR THIS AND WHY IT ISN'T GIVEN THE SIZE OF OUR BUDGET AND WHAT WE'VE DONE TELLS ME THAT PRIORITIES ARE A LITTLE MIXED UP. I JUST GOING ON THE RECORD

[00:35:04]

AMI I READ THIS AND I ASK WHAT HAPPENS TO THE PEOPLE YOU KNOW, 2 TO 3 MONTHS AFTER THE DISPLACEMENT EVENT, YOU KNOW, IT'S EASY. THERE'LL BE RESOURCES TO GET PEOPLE INTO HOTEL. I UNDERSTAND THAT THAT'S ALL REALLY IMPORTANT.

BUT THEN WHAT AND? SO I GUESS I FEEL LIKE IT'S NOT FINISHED AND I'M HOPING THAT THAT'S WHAT THIS GROUP CAN HELP THE TOWN DO IS SORT OF FIGURE OUT WHAT WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE WHEN IT'S FINISHED BECAUSE HOPEFULLY IT'S FINISHED WITH AFFORDABLE HOUSING OPTIONS THAT THE TOWN HAS RELATIONSHIPS WITH THESE OWNERS ARE ABLE TO FIND THESE MORE PERMANENT OR LONGER TERM SOLUTIONS PEOPLE THAT ARE DISPLACED YEAH I THINK THOSE ARE VERY TWO BOTH GREAT POINTS AND YOU KNOW ONCE WE DOVE INTO SOME OF THESE WORK GROUPS THERE IS SOME SOME WORK FOR THE HOUSING COMMITTEE TO DO TO ASSIST AND MAYBE FURTHER DEVELOPING THE PLAN LOOKING TO SEE IF THERE ARE GAPS IN SERVICES OR FUNDING OR THAT WE HAVE NOT LOOKED AT TO BE INCLUDED AND I WILL SPEAKING OF FUNDING, YOU KNOW, I DO AGREE WITH STUART THAT YOU DO NEED TO EFFORTS LIKE THIS DO NEED RESOURCES BECAUSE WE HAVE SUCH A ROBUST SOCIAL SERVICES GROUP ON THE ISLAND. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE THE TOWN REALLY UP THE ANTE ON THEIR CONTRIBUTION TO THE HOUSING TRUST FUND OR TO ANOTHER LOCAL SET ASIDE TO MAKE INVESTMENTS IN HOUSING OPTIONS AND LET THE GROUPS THAT ARE ON THE ISLAND THAT ARE SUBJECT EXPERTS IN THE SOCIAL SERVICES COMPONENTS DO WHAT THEY DO BEST ACT AS THE CONVENER AND THEN REALLY MAKE INVESTMENTS IN THE INFRASTRUCTURE THAT THIS PROGRAM NEEDS TO BE.

THANK YOU. YEAH AND WE COULD OF COURSE GOING TO BE DISCUSSING DISPLACEMENT WE'RE OTHER COMMENTS SO I WOULD JUST LIKE TO SAY AS SOMEBODY KIND OF WEARING TWO HATS AT THE TABLE AS A MEMBER OF THIS COMMITTEE AND HAVING THE THE HEFTY LOAD OF LEADING THE DEEP PROJECT THAT WILL CLEARLY BE YOU KNOW, ONE OF THE INTEGRAL PARTS OF THIS PLAN WE HAVEN'T ALL THE FUNDING OUT. WE DON'T KNOW WHERE WE'RE GOING TO PUT THE PEOPLE. THERE ARE SOME KEY QUESTIONS THERE BUT I DON'T THIS PLAN AS SOMETHING THAT WE CAN CHECK THE BOX AND IT'S DONE IT WILL CLEARLY BE CONTINUING TO EVOLVE FROM MY POSITION FROM COMING INTO A THE THREAT OF A MAJOR DISPLACEMENT A COUPLE YEARS AGO I FEEL LIKE WITH WHAT THIS PLAN BEGINS TO PUT IN PLACE WE ARE WAY FURTHER THE ROAD THAN WE WERE A COUPLE YEARS AGO. BUT BUT I DO APPRECIATE SARAH HIS COMMENTS AND STUART THE RACE IS NOT FINISHED AND THE RACE WILL FRANKLY NEVER BE FINISHED.

BUT I DO FEEL THIS POSITIONS US THAT WE HAVE DELINEATED WHAT THE NEEDS ARE GOING TO BE.

WE'VE A FEW PEOPLE ON BOARD WHO ARE WILLING TO HELP. WHERE WE ARE NOW IS LIGHT YEARS BETTER THAN WHERE WE WERE A COUPLE YEARS AGO EVEN THOUGH WE'RE NOT AND EVEN THOUGH WE DON'T HAVE IT ALL FIGURED OUT YOU KNOW IF IT HAPPENS WE'VE GOT AT LEAST A PLAYBOOK THAT WE CAN JUMP AND GO WITH INSTEAD OF TRYING TO FIGURE IT OUT. WE WERE DEFINITELY TRYING TO TO LAND THE CRASHING PLANE LAST TIME AND I FEEL MUCH ABOUT ABOUT WHERE WE ARE WITH THIS.

AND AGAIN I DO LIKE THE HEART OF THE MATTER IS IF IT DOES HAPPEN TOMORROW WE CAN PROVIDE CASEWORK. WE CAN WE CAN WORK WITH PEOPLE BUT THE SAD ANSWER IS I DON'T HAVE ANY PLACE TO PUT THEM AND EVEN PUTTING PEOPLE IN HOTELS SHORT TERM CAN GET REAL SQUIRRELY WITH LIABILITY ISSUES AND THAT COULD POTENTIALLY DO TO CHILDREN AND SCHOOLS ALL OF THOSE THOSE MYRIAD ISSUES BUT BUT WE HAVE TO START SOMEWHERE.

[00:40:01]

SO I JUST WANT TO ADD THAT COMMENT AS I'M DOING THIS AND THIS IS ON THE AGENDA FOR OUR RECOMMENDATION TO TO TOWN COUNCIL I THINK THIS NEEDS TO BE VIEWED AS A GOOD STEP ONE IN THIS PROCESS WHERE THERE ARE HUGE STEPS TO IN STEP THREE WHICH ARE FUNDING SOLUTION AND HOUSING SOLUTIONS THE THE THE BIG UNKNOWN HERE IS WHEN THE DISPLACEMENT EVENT HAPPENS WHERE CAN WE PUT ALL THESE GOOD FOLKS THAT THAT HAVE BEEN DISPLACED AND OF COURSE THAT'S THE CRUX OF THE WHOLE HOUSING ISSUE HERE WHERE WE'RE WORKING PEOPLE LIVE ON THE ISLAND WHETHER THEY'RE DISPLACED OR OR NOT. SO I BE COMFORTABLE FOR ONE TO TO SAY THAT THIS IS THIS IS A WORTHY FIRST STEP ON THIS PROCESS GIVEN THAT NEXT STEPS ON FUNDING AND HOUSING AVAILABILITY NEED TO BE TAKEN. ARE THERE COMMENTS FROM THE PUBLIC ON THIS ISSUE? PASTOR JIM, THANKS THANKS. I GOT THE MEMO OF UNDERSTANDING AND WHEN I I WAS IN THE MEETING WITH YOU AND I VOLUNTEERED TO BE THAT KIND OF COMMUNITY OTHER IN THERE CHRIST LUTHERAN I VOLUNTEERED MYSELF I DON'T KNOW THAT I VOLUNTEERED CHURCH WHICH IS THE ONE OF THE SMALLEST CHURCHES ON THE ISLAND AND IT'S REALLY ME THAT WAS KIND OF VOLUNTEERING FOR THIS AND AS EXCITING AND DYNAMIC AND ENERGETIC AS I SEEM I CAN'T DO EVERYTHING AND I AND THIS REALLY DOES ALL OF THE CHURCHES TOGETHER TO DO THIS AND I'D FEEL MUCH MORE COMFORTABLE NOT SAYING THAT IT'S CHRIST LUTHERANS RESPONSIBILITY BECAUSE IT'S REALLY MY RESPONSIBILITY. I KNOW THAT YOU'D RATHER I'M SURE THAT YOU WOULD RATHER PARTNER WITH AN ORGANIZATION RATHER THAN A PERSON.

BUT THE FACT IS IT'S ME AND THAT SO SO I MEAN I'D LIKE TO DISCUSS HOW THIS WOULD GO FORWARD THIS WOULD BE A GREAT OP THIS WOULD BE A GREAT REASON FOR THE MAYOR AGAIN TO CONVENE OTHER CHURCHES, OTHER PASTORS TOGETHER SO WE CAN MAKE THIS A GROUP EFFORT AND THE MAYOR HASN'T DONE THAT IN A SENSE SINCE HE'S BEEN IN OFFICE WHERE WE WERE DOING THAT BEFORE A LOT OF THOSE CONTACTS THAT I HAD THAT WAS POSSIBLE TO TO TO NEGOTIATE WITH THE CHIMNEY COVE HAVE KIND OF FADED AWAY BECAUSE LOT OF PASTORS HAVE CHANGED.

SO SO THOSE ARE TWO THINGS THAT I WANT TO SAY. THE OTHER THING IS I DO AGREE WITH STEWART AND I DON'T HAVE YOUR NAME TAG HERE SARAH THAT THIS FEELS A LITTLE BIT LIKE A CEASE FIRE LIKE THIS IS ALL NOW ON THE ON COMMUNITY SERVICES BUT I MEAN I KNOW HOW THIS WORKS I AM REALLY IGNORANT OF THAT WHOLE THING BUT IT FEELS LIKE THE TOWN SHOULD HAVE SOME SKIN IN THE GAME RATHER THAN JUST COORDINATING AND I'M NOT SURE HOW YOU DO THAT.

I'M NOT SURE WHAT WHAT IS LEGALLY RIGHT BUT IF IF IT'S THERE THEN WE SHOULD I DON'T FEEL REALLY SUPPORTED BY I MEAN EXCEPT TO COORDINATE WE ARE LIGHT YEARS AHEAD OF WHERE WE WERE BEFORE JUST SANDY AND I GO AND WHAT DO WE DO YOU KNOW THEN THIS AND THIS IS REALLY GOOD TO HAVE THIS SHEET BUT I MEAN SINCE WE RAISED THIS TOO I MEAN AND WHEN I WENT SORRY I'M I'M JUST MAKING THIS UP RIGHT NOW BUT WHEN WHEN I AGREED THIS, IT FELT LIKE I WOULD JUST AGREED TO IT LIKE I AGREED TO A LOT OF THINGS LIKE COLD WEATHER, SHELTER AND ALL ALL THE OTHER THINGS. BUT WHEN THIS GETS TO A MEMO OF UNDERSTANDING I DON'T THINK I CAN BRING MY CONGREGATION IN AGAIN. ONE OF THE SMALLEST CONGREGATIONS ON THE ISLAND TO SAY WE'RE GOING TO COORDINATE THIS WHOLE THING.

I'D FEEL MUCH MORE COMFORTABLE IF THERE WAS A PARTNERSHIP OF A LOT OF CHURCHES AND WE COULD GIVE THAT A NAME BUT THAT WOULD TAKE THE YOU KNOW, WOULD TAKE THE TOWN PUTTING SOME RESPONSIBILITY ON ON COORDINATING THAT TOGETHER. SO THERE YOU GO.

NOT I'M NOT TO SIGN THIS THE WAY IT IS SO I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S A CHIP YOU'RE A PARTY TO IT. I WOULD SAY YES. LET'S SEE YEAH.

I'M SORRY. GO AHEAD. I WOULD SAY A FEW THINGS TO PASSIVE JUNE'S POINT THAT IF YOU LOOK AT THE ORGANIZATIONAL CHART OF COMMUNITY RESPONSE TEAM, THE HOPE WAS THAT YOU KNOW, IT WILL NOT JUST BE THESE THREE LEAD PARTNERS TAKING ON THE WHOLE EFFORT, IT WILL BE COMMUNITY PARTNERS AS WELL AS A SUPPORT YOU KNOW, PASTOR DRIVEN

[00:45:04]

SO YOU KNOW WE DID NOT WANT TO OUTLINE THE COMMUNITY PARTNERS THAT WERE SUPPORTING THE COMMUNITY RESPONSE BECAUSE IN FEAR OF LEAVING SOMEONE OUT BUT THERE'S QUITE A FEW PARTNERS THAT WILL BE SUPPORTING THESE LEAD PARTNERS. IT'S NOT JUST THESE TWO REALLY PARTNERS. SO I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT I EMPHASIZE CAN I JUST RESPOND TO THAT? IT'S ONE THING TO SAY THAT THE UNITED WAY, YOUR COMMUNITY FOUNDATION LOWCOUNTRY WILL STRIVE TO GROW SUPPORT THIS. IT'S ANOTHER THING TO TURN AROUND AND HAVE THE TOWN. WE WILL PROVIDE SUPPORT FOR THIS BECAUSE THIS IS A SOCIETAL PROBLEM THAT AFFECTS THE TOWN. I DON'T CARE IF IT'S YOU QUITE HONESTLY YOU PUT $200,000 IN THE BUDGET TO ALLOW PEOPLE TO HELP PEOPLE CONNECT TO THE SEWER SYSTEM.

NOW I'M ON THE HILL TO HAVE THE NUMBER ONE BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS I APPLAUD THAT. THAT'S GREAT. BUT YOU CAN'T FUND HALF A MILLION DOLLARS TO PUT INTO THIS TO SUPPORT DISPLACED WORKERS WHO LIVE HERE, SUPPORT COMMUNITY, PROVIDE TO PROVIDE ECONOMIC ENGINES TO THIS COMMUNITY AND THAT IS A FAILING OF NOT ONLY THIS COMMUNITY WHICH DID NOT HAVE A LOT OF INPUT ON IT BUT OF THE WHOLE TOWN COUNCIL IN THE BUDGETING PROCESS. SO YOU NEED TO GO BACK AND, FIND A WAY FOR US TO MOVE FORWARD. THIS ONE OF YOUR LEAD PARTNERS SAID I DIDN'T SIGN UP FOR THIS AND THAT'S A PROBLEM TOO YOU DIDN'T VET WHAT HAPPENS IF YOU KNOW WITH PARTIES CAN'T DO IT YOU PUT ALL THE ONUS ON YOU JUST YOU JUST COORDINATOR YOU'RE NOT PUTTING ANY ONUS DELIVERING ON IT I'M ON THE TOWN AND IT'S A TOWN PROBLEM SO I GUESS I'M PUSHING BACK ON THAT THAT NEEDS TO BE COMPLETELY READDRESSED AND LOOKED AT IT FROM THAT STANDPOINT AND FIND A WAY TO FUND THIS AT SOME LEVEL AND IF I CAN JUST JUMP IN BECAUSE ALONG WITH SANDY AND PASTOR JIM I ONE OF THEM SORRY WELL IF I COULD JUST JUMP BECAUSE ALONG WITH SANDY IN PASTOR JIM AND THE CHIMNEY COVE ONE IS GROWING INTO A GREATER MASS THAT THAT THE TOWN REALLY NO ONE WAS REALLY PREPARED FOR THAT THE KEY ISSUE IS THAT TO ME THIS SEEMS VERY REACTIVE INSTEAD OF PROACTIVE AND YOUR POINT AND I'LL YOU SANDY IS A PERFECT DEEP WELL AS IT IS A PERFECT EXAMPLE WHEN WHEN PEOPLE WERE SCRAMBLING WE WHAT 30 DAYS TO FIGURE OUT LIKE WHEN WE FIRST GOT INTO IT IT WAS ABOUT A 30 DAY WINDOW TO FIGURE OUT WHERE WE COULD WHERE ARE THESE PEOPLE GOING TO GO WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN WITH THEM AND AND WE WERE ALL AND SO HINDSIGHT BEING 2020 OBVIOUSLY WE ARE LIGHT YEARS AHEAD OF WHERE WE WERE BACK THEN BUT ALL THINGS CONSIDERED THAT SHOULD BE LESSON THAT THERE SHOULD BE NOT ONLY A PLAN BUT FUNDING BECAUSE WE WERE IN PANIC MODE THAT PEOPLE WERE GOING TO HAVE LEAVE THE ISLAND AND FIND A HOTEL. ALL OF THESE DIFFERENT ELEMENTS THAT WENT INTO THE PROBLEM. AND SO TO YOUR POINT, YES, THERE HAS TO BE SOME FUNDS THAT ARE READY AND ABLE TO BE USED ON DAY ONE BECAUSE CHANCES ARE WHEN SOMETHING LIKE THIS JUMPS OFF AND EVEN THE AND I'M THIS PROBABLY REMIND ME THAT THE MOBILE HOME PARK THAT WAS AN ISSUE SAME THING ROLLER HANGING OUT THERE TOO RIGHT TICKING TIME BOMB EXACTLY BUT BUT THE POINT IS IS THAT WHEN WHEN THE WIND OF A WHIFF OF SOMETHING IS GOING TO HAPPEN WITH THIS CAME ALONG IT WAS A OKAY WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO NOW AND HOW FAST CAN WE DO IT? AND SO THAT IS KEY TO THERE'S GOT TO BE SOME MONEY BEHIND THIS.

AND I PICK UP ON ONE OF THE POINTS THAT PASTOR JOON MADE WHICH WE RECOMMENDED VERY EARLY ON I CAN'T REMEMBER BUT GETTING THE FAITH BASED COMMUNITY INVOLVED IN SOME WAY AND.

I THINK THAT'S SOMETHING THAT THE TOWN SHOULD BE THE LEADER THAT WE'RE I WOULD PUT IT THIS WAY I RECOMMEND HOPEFULLY THE COMMITTEE AGREES BUT SOMEHOW BECAUSE IT SHOULDN'T ALL FALL BACK TO PASTOR JOO AND THESE PASTORS DO CHANGE BUT IF YOU THINK ABOUT THE NUMBER OF CHURCHES ON THIS LITTLE ISLAND AND IF YOU COULD CAPTURE THAT COMMUNITY I THINK A LOT

[00:50:04]

I JUST GOT THIS YESTERDAY SO I HAVEN'T GONE THROUGH THE THE THE CHANNELS TO GET IT I KNOW THAT MY CONGREGATION IS SUPPORT OF THIS VERY EXCITED ABOUT THIS AND I AM EXCITED ABOUT THIS BUT I JUST DON'T THINK THE ONUS SHOULD BE JUST ON ONE CHURCH EVEN THOUGH I AM USUALLY THAT PERSON LATELY. I MEAN I'VE BEEN HERE THREE YEARS ONLY BUT I'M THAT PERSON WHO CAN GATHER A LOT OF PEOPLE I CAN DO THAT AND I CAN BE A HELP WITH THIS BUT THAT BUT WHAT IF I DIED? WHAT IF I WAS CALLED SOMEWHERE ELSE THIS THE WHOLE FRAMEWORK JUST KIND OF FALLS APART THAT IT JUST I DON'T FEEL COMFORTABLE SAYING THAT CHRIST LUTHERAN CHURCH IS IT BECAUSE IF I'M NOT THERE THEN ANOTHER PASTOR MIGHT NOT MIGHT NOT BE THAT THERE SHOULD BE THERE SHOULD BE SOME SORT OF ORGANIZATION.

I'M VERY EXCITED TO A PART OF THIS OFFICIALLY YOU KNOW LIKE AN OFFICIAL WAY.

I'M VERY EXCITED THAT MY CHURCH HAS ITS NAME ON IT LOOKS REAL GOOD.

YOU KNOW WE'RE OF THE DISPLACEMENT STRATEGY BUT JUST REALISTICALLY I DON'T THINK THAT THAT'S THAT THAT'S SOMETHING THAT CAN BE PUT ON ONE CHURCH THAT'S ONE OF THE SMALLEST CHURCHES IN ON THE ISLAND BUT THAT CAN PUT ON ONE CHURCH OR ON ONE PART OR SHOULD BE PUT ON ONE PASTOR EVEN IF THAT PASTOR IS REALLY GREAT BECAUSE THOSE THINGS FALL APART TOO SO SO QUICKLY AND YOU KNOW DEEP WELL HOW DEEP WELL IS YOU KNOW MORE GUARANTEED TO BE AROUND AT THAT COMMUNITY FOUNDATIONS MORE GUARANTEE THAT CHURCHES ARE FICKLE I MEAN WHO THEY WHO THEY GET AS A PASTOR WHAT WHAT HAPPENS TO PASTORS IT'S ALL IT'S IT'S ALL VERY SUBJECTIVE TO INDIVIDUAL BUT AT ANY RATE I JUST WANT TO SAY THAT I AM THAT I AM I'M THAT CHRIST LUTHERAN CAN BE A PART OF THIS. I'M PROUD THAT THAT I CAN BE LIKE KIND OF KIND OF GATHER PEOPLE TOGETHER IN THIS BUT I DON'T KNOW THAT CHRIST LUTHERAN SHOULD BE THE POOR PEOPLE ON THE ON THE MEMO OR OR IN THAT IN THAT LITTLE SLOT SHOULD BE SOMETHING ABOUT ALL FAITH ALL FAITH COMMUNITIES. SO THAT'S ALL IF WERE SAYING A FAITH BASED COALITION YOU WOULD OKAY. YEAH YEAH THAT'S GOOD QUESTION . AND I'M NEW TO THE COMMITTEE AND I CAME IN AFTER THIS DOCUMENT BASICALLY SUBSTANTIALLY COMPLETE. HOW IS IT THAT CHRYSLER'S FROM CHURCH JUST LEARNED ABOUT THIS ? I'M I GUESS I'M JUST A LITTLE BIT YEAH. SO THAT'S NOT EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED.

SO WE HAD SEVERAL COMMUNITY WORKSHOPS WE MET WITH PASTOR JUNE DEEP WELL AS WELL AS THE COMMUNITY FOUNDATION OF LITTLE COUNTRY AND WE ASKED THEM IF THEY WERE MAINLY PARTNERS AND THE COMMUNITY RESPONSE TEAM AND THEY ALL AGREED TO BE AGAINST INCENTIVES HERE.

YEAH SO MUSIC CAME FIRST SO I WAS LIKE YEAH SORRY I WAS CONFUSED REALLY CONFUSED.

THAT'S NOT WHAT HAPPENED. OKAY I GOT IT ALL RIGHT. YEAH, YEAH.

SORRY I WAS THAT'S WHY I WAS LIKE HOW DID THAT HAPPEN? THAT WHOLE DOCUMENT DESIGN GOT IT. OKAY. GOT IT.

UNDERSTOOD. THANK YOU, QUINCY. SO THAT WAS NO, NO, IT'S FINE.

SO TO FURTHER CLARIFY SO A DRAFT WAS PROVIDED TO THE COMMUNITY PARTNERS TO LOOK AT IN TO OR YOU TO KIND OF FORMALIZE THE RELATIONSHIP. THAT'S WHAT SHE'S REFERRING TO.

BUT YES SO IF WE NEED CHANGE THE LANGUAGE IF THAT'S A RECOMMENDATION OF COURSE WE COULD WE COULD CHANGE THE LANGUAGE AND THERE'S BEEN MANY DRAFTS OF THIS BEFORE BUT WHATEVER WAS MEAN MAKES WELL WE'LL MAKE THOSE CORRECTIONS. OKAY.

I SEE A COUPLE MORE COMMENTS FROM THE PUBLIC OTHER THAN KATIE HI.

[00:55:05]

SO THIS IS AN ORGANIZATION THAT'S IN COMMUNITY WITH FOLKS ON A DAY TO DAY BASIS THAT WOULD PROBABLY BE AFFECTED BY THIS. SO I THINK THAT THAT'S A REALLY INTERESTING RESOURCE THAT THIS MUNICIPALITY AND THIS COMMITTEE TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF .

THEY RECEIVE SIGNIFICANT FEDERAL AND THAT FEDERAL FUNDING HAS GONE UP WITH EVERY SINGLE ADMINISTRATION SINCE LYNDON JOHNSON. SO IT'S NOT A REPUBLICAN THING.

IT'S NOT A DEMOCRATIC THING THAT FUNDING GOES UP AND THEY THEY ALSO FOCUS ON HEAD START.

SO RESEARCH ORGANIZATION IT'S KIND OF LIKE IF YOU'RE TRYING TO DO SOCIAL SERVICES WORK IN THE IF YOU WANT TO RELATE IT TO LET'S SAY THE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION AND YOU'RE TRYING TO PAVE A ROAD BUT YOU'RE NOT USING OF TRANSPORTATION DOLLARS IF THAT MAKES SENSE IT'S FITS HAND-IN-GLOVE THE SECOND THING THAT I WOULD RECOMMEND IS AND I'M HAPPY MEET WITH THE TEAM I'VE LET A NUMBER OF PEOPLE KNOW IS THAT I ACTUALLY WAS ACTIVELY INVOLVED IN THE MAUI WILDFIRES AND THE DISPLACEMENT THAT OCCURRED THEREAFTER SO THESE ARE THINGS THAT YOU HAVE IN YOUR WHEELHOUSE. THERE ARE PEOPLE IN THE COMMUNITY THAT ARE YOUR WHEELHOUSE THAT KNOW WHAT REAL DISPLACEMENT LOOKS REAL AND IMMEDIATE DISPLACEMENT LOOKS LIKE. SO I WOULD ENCOURAGE THIS COMMITTEE IF YOU GUYS ARE GOING TO BREAK OUT AND DO A LITTLE BIT MORE WORK ON THAT TO LOOK AND SEE WHAT HAPPENED IN MAUI AND WHAT WE DID. THANK YOU.

THIS ELECTION KATIE. HENDERSON I JUST NEEDED TO MAKE A POINT HERE IF YOU'VE EVER BEEN IN THE FINANCE AND ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE MEETINGS THEY'RE VERY, VERY SERIOUS ABOUT WHO THEY GIVE MONEY TO THE TOWN GIVES MONEY TO DIFFERENT PARTS OF THIS THAT YOU GUYS ARE INCLUDING INTO YOUR PURVIEW HERE AND SO TO SAY THE TOWN HAS NO SKIN IN THIS GAME NOT TRUE. AND I THINK THAT THAT'S SOMETHING THAT MAYBE THE COMMITTEE NEEDS TO BE EDUCATED ON A LITTLE MORE. THANK YOU FOR THE COMMENTS FROM . THE PUBLIC WHERE ARE WE AS SHOCKED WOULD YOU HAVE SOMETHING IF I COULD JUST ABOUT THE FUNNY BECAUSE FUNNY IT'S BEEN TALKED A LOT ABOUT THEM TALKED ABOUT A LOT THIS MORNING HOW COULD YOU MOVE TO MAKE IT ABSOLUTELY WHEN IT COMES TO FUNDING THAT JUST TURN IT OFF AND I'LL FIGURE IT OUT WHEN IT COMES TO FUNDING THE PUBLIC COMMENT IS CORRECT THERE ARE THERE ARE OPPORTUNITIES FOR MANY OF THE PARTNERS THAT ARE IDENTIFIED IN THE DISPLACEMENT PLAN AND EVEN OUTSIDE OF THIS PLACE AND PLAN THAT HELP US WITH WITH HOUSING IN GENERAL IN THE COMMUNITY THEED FUNDING THRH THROUGH A PROCESS A COUNCIL GOES THROUGH EVERY YEAR AFFILIATE AGENCY AND OTHER WAYS THAT MAKE MONEY AVAILABLE IN TERMS OF ALSO THEN HOW WE'RE SPENDING MONEY ON ON HOUSING YOU INCLUDED IN YOUR IN YOUR GUIDEBOOK THAT YOU'RE PROVIDED THERE YOU CAN SEE THE AMOUNT OF FUNDING THAT THE TOWN HAS COMMITTED TO PROVIDING HOUSING OPTIONS IN THE COMMUNITY. SOME OF THAT IS TIME.

SOME OF THAT IS GOING TO NORTH POINT AND USING OUR PORTIONS OF OUR ARPA ALLOCATION AND IT'S NOT AN INSIGNIFICANT INSIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF MONEY. IT DOESN'T MEAN THAT WE CAN'T DO MORE. WE CAN'T WE CAN'T DO DIFFERENT AND BETTER THINGS AS WE AS WE MOVE FORWARD. BUT THE TOWN IS IS MAKING COMMITMENT AND BOTH IN STAFF AND IN RESOURCES FINANCIAL AND OTHERWISE LAND AND IN PARTNERSHIPS THAT WE'RE CREATING HELP SUPPORT ALL THE ACTIONS THAT THIS COMMITTEE AND TOWN COUNCIL ARE WORKING TO TO TO PUT TOGETHER A WHOLE PORTFOLIO OF OPTIONS HOW WE WE ADDRESS HOUSING YES THE DISPLACEMENT MITIGATION PLAN BY ITS VERY NATURE IS REACTIVE. THERE'S OTHER THINGS THAT WE'RE WORKING ON OUTSIDE THE DISPLACEMENT MITIGATION PLAN TO HELP BE PROACTIVE AND CREATE HOUSING OPTIONS AND THEN TO CONNECT THOSE THOSE PEOPLE THAT AND HOPEFULLY GET EVEN BETTER BE MORE PROACTIVE ABOUT HOW DO WE IDENTIFY WHERE PEOPLE ARE AT RISK FOR DISPLACEMENT AND THAT WE CAN START TO CONNECT AND CONNECT ALL THOSE RESOURCES TOGETHER OVER TIME.

BUT THIS IS A MARATHON. IT'S NOT A SPRINT. THIS IS SOMETHING THAT'S GOING TO TAKE TIME AND SO WE'RE TAKING STEPS AND EVENTUALLY WE'LL HOPEFULLY GET INTO A SPRINT BUT RIGHT NOW WE'RE TAKING SOME STEPS SO. I THINK AS IT RELATES TO THIS THERE SEEMS BE SOME CONFUSION ABOUT THE PLANETS OFTEN AND I KNOW THAT CAME THROUGH A LEGAL REVIEW AND I APOLOGIZE FOR ANY CONFUSION THAT CREATED BUT THE PARTNERS AROUND THE BOARD ARE

[01:00:06]

SO I RECOMMEND THAT THIS TO THE OKAY I JUST HAVE I CAN JUST HAVE SOME CLARIFICATION IF I LOOKED AT THE BUDGET IT SEEMS THAT THE $4 MILLION IS EARMARKED FOR SPECIFIC AND THERE IS NO SPECIFIC ITEM FOR DISPLACED SO IS THAT YOUR IS ARE YOU SUGGESTING THAT SOME OF THESE FUNDS SUCH AS THE STOCKPILES ARE WOULD BE IMMEDIATELY FOR DISPLACEMENT SO THE HOUSING BUDGET THAT YOU HAVE THAT'S THAT'S CORRECT THERE IS THERE IS NOT FUNDING SPECIFICALLY EARMARKED FOR DISPLACEMENT THERE ARE OTHER AGENCIES THAT WE WE HAVE SUPPORTED I DON'T HAVE I DON'T SPEAK ON TO TERMS I'D BEEN STILL IN MY FIRST TWO MONTHS I DON'T KNOW EXACTLY WHO OUR AFFILIATE AGENCIES ARE BUT THERE ARE AFFILIATE AGENCIES THAT WE PROVIDE ADDITIONAL FUNDING TO THAT'S NOT CAPTURED THE HOUSING FUND BUDGET THAT WE'RE PROVIDING RESOURCES TO THAT ARE PART OF THE DISPLACEMENT RESPONSE.

SO THERE IS AN INDIRECT ALLOCATION OF FUNDS POTENTIALLY ,AN INDIRECT ALLOCATION OF FUNDS TO HELP SUPPORT DISPLACEMENT. BUT THERE IS NOT A SPECIFIC ALLOCATION OF FUNDS THAT GO DIRECTLY TOWARDS TOWARDS THE DISPLACEMENT MITIGATION PLAN AS HAS BEEN LAID OUT HERE. I ASK YOU TO PROVIDE THAT DETAIL FOR US.

WE CAN PROVIDE OUR DETAIL BECAUSE I THINK THERE'S A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN EXAMPLE DEEP WELL ASKING FOR FUNDS TO SUPPORT GENERAL MISSION AND THEN SAYING OH BY THE WAY THOSE FUNDS ARE ALSO TO COVER THE DISPLACEMENT. I UNDERSTAND THAT'S A COMPLETELY ASPECT NEEDS TO BE CLARIFIED. WOULD IT BE FAIR TO YOU KNOW I'M LOOKING FOR SOME CONSENSUS FROM HOUSING ACTION COMMITTEE. WOULD IT BE FAIR TO SAY I'M FOR SOME CONSENSUS ON HOUSING ACTION COMMITTEE AS WHAT WE DO AS WHAT WE DO TODAY ON THIS I BELIEVE FROM WHAT WE'RE HEARING IT IS NOT READY FOR FINAL APPROVAL FROM THIS GROUP.

I THINK WOULD BE WORTH A RECOMMENDATION THAT SAYS WE THINK THIS THIS IS AN EXCELLENT START AS FAR AS OUTLINING WHAT HAPPENS IN A DISPLACEMENT EVENT ,WE DO NEED MORE INFORMATION ON FUNDING SOURCES, ON HOUSING OPTIONS WHEN PEOPLE ARE AND WE NEED TO CLARIFY THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT SOMETHING LIKE A FAITH BASED COALITION HERE NOT NOT A SPECIFIC CHURCH THAT'S THAT'S THAT'S LEADING THAT COMMUNITY RESPONSE IS THAT A MOTION THAT COULD BE AWARDED TO BE SUPPORTED BY FOLKS HERE FOR FOR TO I WOULD EVEN TAKE A LITTLE STRONGER THAN THAT I WOULD SAY IS I'M WITH THE BEGINNING FRAMEWORK BUT THERE IS MUCH WORK BE DONE AND UNTIL THAT WORK IS DONE WE CAN'T DO ANY ACTION ON IT RIGHT THAT COULD YOU KNOW I THINK THAT THERE'S BEEN A LOT TALK ABOUT WHERE DO YOU PUT THE PEOPLE YOU KNOW THE ACTUAL DISPLACEMENT AND THAT I THINK SOME PEOPLE HAVE DONE THIS ALREADY BUT IT IS NOT A PROBLEM WE'RE GOING TO SOLVE RIGHT NOW AND THAT IS THE ULTIMATE GOAL OF THE COMMITTEE IS TO GET PEOPLE OUT OF UNSTABLE ENVIRONMENTS WHERE YOU KNOW THAT YOU ARE IN SOMETHING LIKE A TRAILER PARK THAT COULD BE SOLD OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT AND WE PUT THEM INTO MORE OF A LONG TERM WORKFORCE HOUSING OPTION THAT'S NOT GOING TO BE SOLVED YEARS. SO I THINK I AGREE COMPLETELY WITH WHAT YOU'RE SAYING. I THINK WE CAN'T GO SO FAR AS TO SAY WE'RE NOT GOING TO APPROVE THE STEP ONE PLAN WITHOUT SAYING WHERE'S EVERYONE GO BECAUSE THAT IS COULD BE YEAR. IT'S GOING TO BE YEARS TO FIND LAND, BUILD PROPERTY, MOVE PEOPLE IN AND I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY YEARS SO I THINK WE NEED TO SAY THIS IS A FIRST STEP WE HAVE WORK TO DO IN FRONT OF US AND YOU KNOW OBVIOUSLY CORRECT THE FAITH BASED COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIP AND THINGS LIKE THAT BUT I DON'T WANT TO HOLD ON THIS UNTIL WE HAVE AN ABSOLUTE SOLUTION WHERE PEOPLE ARE GOING TO GO BECAUSE WE DON'T WE CAN'T HAVE AN EVEN IF WE HAVE MORE PROPERTY YOU'RE NEVER GOING TO HOLD EMPTY PROPERTY IN THE EVENT OF A

[01:05:04]

I USED TO WORK A DAILY NEWSPAPER BACK WHEN PEOPLE STILL WRITE DAILY NEWSPAPERS AND HAD A MOTTO YOU GET IT AS RIGHT AS YOU CAN AS FAST AS YOU CAN AND THEN YOU FIGURE OUT TOMORROW WHAT YOU NEED TO AND I KIND OF FEEL LIKE THAT'S WHERE WE ARE WITH THIS PLAN.

WE'VE GOT START WE KNOW THERE'S SOME THERE'S HOLES IN IT AND WE WORK ON THE HOLES BUT I DON'T WANT TO TO STOP MOVING FORWARD. WE MAY HAVE TO REJIGGER AND SOMETIMES LIKE IN A SOCCER MATCH YOU HAVE TO PASS IT BACKWARDS TO MOVE FORWARD. BUT I FEEL LIKE WE NEED KEEP THIS MOVING FORWARD. THE ULTIMATE GOAL IS TO NOT HAVE DISPLACEMENT.

THAT'S OUR REAL GOAL BUT WE KNOW WE DON'T LIVE IN A PERFECT WORLD AND DISPLACEMENTS ARE GOING TO HAPPEN. WE JUST NEED TO BE AS PREPARED AS WE POSSIBLY CAN AND AND I JUST DON'T WANT TO SEE THIS PLAN GET BURIED IT IN IN IN FIGURING IT ALL OUT BECAUSE YOU'RE RIGHT. WE'RE NOT GOING TO FIGURE IT OUT.

WE DIDN'T GET HERE IN ONE DAY. WE'RE NOT GOING TO GET OUT OF IT IN ONE DAY.

BUT KEEPING IT MOVING FORWARD IDENTIFYING WHERE THE HOLES ARE AND MOVING IS IS CRITICAL.

SANDY, WOULD YOU BE SUGGESTING A A VOTE ON IT TODAY OR SENDING IT BACK FOR FOR FIXING THESE ISSUES THE BEST CAN AND VOTING ON IT IN AUGUST? WHAT I FEEL LIKE IT'S VERY MUCH LIKE OUR MINUTES THEY MAY NOT WE KNOW THERE'S SOME PROBLEMS WITH THEM.

YOU KNOW, WE'VE ENUNCIATED THAT. I THINK WE WOULD I WOULD BE SUPPORTIVE OF OF APPROVING IT WITH ADDITIONAL CORRECTIONS JUST TO KEEP IT MOVING FORWARD BECAUSE MY FEAR IS IF TABLE IT IT STAYS TABLED HERE. QUINCY IS IT A VOTE AT TOWN COUNCIL? SO WHAT IS THAT JUST A JUST FOR THE PROCESS.

SO THE ADOPTION PROCESS OF THIS IS THAT A ONE VOTE AT TOWN COUNCIL IS A TWO VOTE AT TOWN COUNCIL THAT THEY HAVE COMMENTS AND TABLE IT BACK RIGHT WOULD BE THE NEXT STEP I GUESS SO THE NEXT STEP WOULD BE THE PUBLIC PLANNING COMMITTEE WILL BE NEXT.

NOW YOU CAN VOTE AND APPROVE WHAT RECOMMENDATIONS AS YOU STATED BEFORE WITH THE CORRECTIONS OTHERS THAT YOU MAY HAVE BUT YES THE NEXT STEP WILL BE THE PUBLIC PLANNING COMMITTEE AND THEN IT WILL BE THE TOWN COUNCIL FOR FIRST WEEK.

SO DON'T WE KNOW IF THERE IS A DISPLACEMENT TOMORROW THE ONLY PLACE THESE FOLKS CAN GO IMMEDIATELY WOULD BE INTO HOTELS. AM I WRONG? I MEAN WHERE ELSE WOULD THEY GO ? SO DO WE TALK TO SOME HOTELS? I HOW WE PURSUE THAT THAT MAY SOUND LIKE A SILLY COMMENT BUT HAVE YOU SPOKEN TO ANY OF THE HOTELS THAT IF THIS HAPPENED COULD WE COUNT ON YOU IF YOU HAVE ROOMS AVAILABLE YADA YADA YADA YEAH SO THAT WAS SOMETHING THAT WE WERE HOPING TO DISCUSS IN REGARDS TO THE DISPLACEMENT WORK GROUP WHEN WE WERE GOING TO WALK THROUGH SOME OF THOSE SCENARIOS THAT WE'RE GOING TO GO INTO THE DETAIL THAT WAS GOING TO BE ONE OF THOSE AREAS THAT WE WERE GOING TO LOOK AT.

YOU KNOW, DO WE HAVE ANY TYPE OF TEMPORARY YOU KNOW, RESOURCES AVAILABLE? AGAIN, I'M SEARCHING FOR OUR NEXT STEP BASED ON WHAT WE'VE JUST HEARD WOULD IT BE APPROPRIATE FOR THIS GROUP TO SAY WE HAVE RECEIVED THE REPORT .

WE'RE GRATEFUL FOR THE WORK TO DATE. WE DO NEED THOSE ITEMS ISSUED AND THE COALITION OF CORRECTION VERSUS CHRIST LUTHERAN CHURCH A HARDER LOOK AT FUNDING SOURCES AND AT LEAST SETTING UP A PLAN FOR FINDING HOUSING SOURCES. IS THAT SOMETHING THIS GROUP WOULD BE WILLING TO ALONG TODAY? SORT OF IF GOD FORBID THERE'S A DISPLACEMENT EVENT IN THE NEXT MONTH WE CAN WE WOULD HAVE AT LEAST THAT TO TO RELY UPON I DON'T THINK YOU CAN BECAUSE THERE ARE TOO MANY YOU'RE ONE OF YOUR COMMUNITY PARTNERS IS NOT READY TO TO ASSUME THAT MANTLE SO TO SPEAK SO THAT'S A MAJOR HOLE IN THE PLAN AND I

[01:10:10]

BUT THE REALITY IS IS THAT THAT COULD CHANGE. CHRYSLER MAY NOT HAVE THE RESOURCES NECESSARY TO DO ANY OF THAT WITHOUT BEING ABLE TO BRING ANYBODY ELSE'S RESOURCE.

SO SO I AGREE THAT YES, THAT'S A PLAN THAT'S MOVING FORWARD BUT IT'S NOT READY TO GO TO COUNCIL. IT'S NOT READY TO PUSHED UP TO THE NEXT LEVEL BECAUSE I THINK THERE'S TOO MANY HOLES HERE THAT HAVE TO BE CORRECTED. I DON'T THINK WE'RE TABLING AND THINK WE'RE JUST SAYING IT NEEDS TO HAVE MORE WORK DONE ON IT AND THESE PROBLEM'S RESOLVED BEFORE IT CAN BE MOVED FORWARD TO THE NEXT LEVEL THAT'S THAT'S ALL I COULD SAY.

I DON'T THINK THERE'S I THINK BECAUSE OF THE THE FACT THAT ONE OF YOUR COMMUNITY PARTNERS IS NOT WILLING TO SIGN ON TO IN ITS CURRENT FORMAT SAYS IT CAN'T GO FORWARD THAT THAT'S JUST THE POINT I HAVE IS THAT THE SENSE OF THE GROUP THAT WE NEED NOT REALLY VOTE ON ANYTHING TODAY BUT SEND IT BACK WITH THE COMMENTS I WOULD LOVE TO HAVE I WOULD LIKE IT IF THEY CAME BACK TOMORROW AND SAID THIS IS FIXED OR THIS IS ARRANGED HAS BEEN CREATED AND YOU KNOW WE NOW HAVE EIGHT CHURCHES THAT ARE GOING TO TAKE ON THIS MANTLE PLACE COORDINATED BY PASTOR JIM BUT I DON'T KNOW THAT CAN HAPPEN THAT QUICKLY AND I DON'T KNOW IF SHE'S A FORCE OF NATURE. I HAVE TO ABOUT THAT AND AND AND I DON'T KNOW IF THAT EXISTS IN ALL THE DIFFERENT CHURCHES AND OTHER ORGANIZATIONS ON THE ISLAND.

I THINK IF YOU ON YOUR MOTION TO SEND IT BACK WITH THESE OTHER TO BE CLARIFIED AND CORRECTED PRIOR TO A VOTE ON IT THAT WILL GET THAT WILL KEEP IT IN ACTION AND MAYBE MAYBE EVEN IN A NEXT MEETING OR SO WE'LL GET TO THE BACK BUT I DON'T WE CAN APPROVE IT IN THE FORM BECAUSE ONE OF THE SIGNATORIES CAN'T SIGN IT AND I THINK WE JUST CAN'T IT OKAY.

WELL I THINK WE CAN INDICATE WHAT WE NEED AND I THINK WE HAVE AND I DO THINK WE'RE TALKING TWO VERY DIFFERENT DOCUMENTS. WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THE DISPLACEMENT PLAN AND THEN WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THE MEMORANDUMS OF UNDERSTANDING.

SO I JUST DON'T WANT THE LANGUAGE IN THOSE MEETINGS WHICH QUINCY IS ARE TOTALLY A DRAFT AND WORK ON IT SO I JUST DON'T WANT TO TORPEDO THE PLAN FOR FOREIGN AMMO THAT'S IN A DRAFT FORM ADMITTEDLY SO FORTH BUT THAT'S WHAT TOWN COUNCIL APPROVES.

WELL GIVEN THERE'S NOT UNANIMITY HERE I THE BEST THING IS TO WITH THE COMMENTS WE'VE MADE TO SEND IT BACK FOR WE'VE HEARD MORE WORK OVER THE NEXT MONTH AND AND BRING IT BACK IN AUGUST. MAY I ASK A QUESTION IN REGARDS TO THE PLAN JUST THE PLAN ITSELF IF WE CHANGE CHRYSLER DETROIT CHURCH TO FAITH BASED COALITION THE PLAN ITSELF IS THAT THE ONLY CHANGE IN REGARDS TO THE PLAN ITSELF AND IT NEEDS A FUNDING COMPONENT FROM MY UNDERSTANDING OF THOSE TWO ITEMS I WOULD SAY THAT'S THE MAJOR ONE BUT I THINK FINDING COALITION AND GETTING AGREEMENT WHO THAT IS AND WHAT IT IS YOU KNOW, IT COULD BE IT'S A NICE THING OR WE'VE GOT A FAITH BASED COALITION HERE BUT IF THEY DID THAT DOESN'T EXIST OR IT'S NOT SOMETHING TO HAPPEN YOU NEED TO HAVE IDENTIFIED THAT AND AGAIN HAS JUST GOT TO DO OUR BEST TO TO HELP COORDINATE THAT BUT IT'S JUST ONE SMALL CHURCH.

YEAH THAT WAS OUR INITIAL THOUGHT PUTTING. PASTOR JUNE AT THE HEAD OF THE COMMUNITY RESOURCE LEAD PARTNER WAS THAT SHE COULD BRING IN THOSE FAITH BASED ORGANIZATIONS TO FURTHER ASSIST IN SUPPORTING DEEPER. I WANT TO TAKE A STEP BACK I DON'T TO PUT THE ONUS ON PASTOR JUNE TO HAVE TO ACCOMPLISH THAT AN OWNER SHOULD COME BACK THE TOWN TO HAVE TO CREATE THAT AND CO-CREATE THAT SO I'M SURE SHE'S HAPPY TO LEAD IT.

I DON'T WANT TO PUT WORDS IN HER MOUTH BUT SHE'LL DO WHATEVER SHE CAN TO HELP IT HAPPEN BUT IT STILL HAS TO COME . THE TOWN DOING IT NOT JUST SAYING OH IT'S NOW CHRIST LUTHERAN DOING A LOT AT THAT POINT AND WELL LET'S SEND IT BACK FOR THAT WORK WITH NO ACTION TODAY AND AND THE DISPLACEMENT WORK GROUP WILL ALSO GET INVOLVED IN IN THIS AND IN THE COMING WEEKS DON. OKAY.

[4.c. Workforce Housing Program Updates - Quincy White, Chief Housing Officer]

[01:15:05]

WE WERE TO SPEAK AT THE BLUFFTON CHAMBER OF COMMERCE POWER AS ONCE TO THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE PUBLIC POLICY COMMITTEE MEETING AT BOTH OF THESE EVENTS WE WERE ABLE TO SPEAK IN REGARDS SOME OF THE HIGH LEVEL INITIATIVES OF HOUSING FOR THE ISLAND AS WELL AS SOME OF THE WORK BEING DONE FROM THE TOWNS PERSPECTIVE.

I ALSO HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO MEET ONE ON ONE WITH JULIE DAVIS, THE NEW EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF , THE COUNTY HOUSING AUTHORITY TO DISCUSS SOME OF THEIR INITIATIVES AS.

IT RELATES TO THE ISLAND BUT YES THOSE ARE THE PROGRAM UPDATES.

ANY COMMENTS ANY PUBLIC COMMENTS ON THAT AGENDA ITEM, OTHER GOOD AFTERNOON OR GOOD MORNING HEATHER RATH FOR THE AS I SPOKE ABOUT TWO MONTHS AGO THE QUALIFIED ALLOCATION PLAN FOR THE LOW TECH HOUSING IS NOW OUT. IT'S IN DRAFT PREVIEW COMMENTS HAVE BEEN SUBMITTED ON THIS. WE'VE RECEIVED ABOUT 15 COMMENTS FROM ACROSS THE STATE, NONE FROM THE LOWCOUNTRY SO THAT IS SOMETHING THAT I WOULD REALLY ENCOURAGE YOU GUYS TO DIG IN AND SUBMIT COMMENTS ON IT IS VERY, VERY, VERY IMPORTANT TO BE ABLE TO ACCESS THIS FUNDING AGAIN I WILL USE ANALOGY OF TRYING TO PAVE A ROAD OR BUILD A BRIDGE WITHOUT USING THE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION. THAT'S WHAT THIS PROVIDES FOR OUR MUNICIPALITY. I WILL ALSO BRING TO YOUR ATTENTION THE COMPETITIVE GRANT THAT WAS AVAILABLE WITH SOUTH CAROLINA HOUSING REGARDING MANUFACTURED HOUSING IF YOU REMEMBER 1300 OF OUR HOMES ON HILTON HEAD ISLAND ARE MANUFACTURED HOUSING SO THIS DOES MAKE UP A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF HOUSING STOCK INCLUDING OUR WORKFORCE.

AND I GUESS MY QUESTION TO QUINCY WAS DID WE APPLY FOR THIS GRANT AND DID WE SUBMIT COMMENTS ON THE GRANTING PERIOD YOU THANK YOU. OH THE PUBLIC COMMENT COMMENTS FROM WITHIN THE COMMITTEE BECAUSE I OKAY TO THE TWO QUESTIONS WE HAVE NOT AS ANY COMMENTS AND TO THE SECOND IN REGARDS TO THAT GRANT I'M AWARE OF THE GRANT BUT NOTHING HAS BEEN SUBMITTED IN REGARDS TO THAT I COULD NOT CONCLUDE ITEM .

[4.d. Work Area Updates - Jack Alderman, Housing Action Committee Chair]

SO LET ME PASS THIS AROUND AND I'VE TAKEN LIBERTY OF AT LEAST TENTATIVELY ASSIGNING YOU ALL TO SOME NEW WORK GROUPS. THERE ARE A COUPLE OF THESE EXISTING WORK GROUPS THAT ARE REMAINING HERE ABOUT FUNDING SOURCES AND COMMUNICATIONS BUT THE I'LL WAIT UNTIL THIS GETS ALL THE WAY AROUND BUT THERE WERE THERE WERE FOUR NEW WORK GROUP AREAS THAT SEAN AND MARK AND I AGREE BE MORE RIPE FOR IMMEDIATE AND ACTUAL IMPACT AND WE CAN TALK ABOUT THOSE IN A MINUTE HERE WHEN EVERYBODY GUESS IS THAT ALL THE WAY AROUND THE FIRST IS MUDDY CREEK AND BRYANT ROAD AS YOU KNOW THE TOWN HAS ACQUIRED PROPERTY THERE FOR POTENTIAL DEVELOPMENT OF AFFORDABLE WORKFORCE AND WORKFORCE HOUSING AND THERE'S ALSO SOME NEED FOR SOME COMMUNITY STABILIZATION WORK THERE AND THEY ASK THAT THAT PUT TOGETHER ONE OF OUR WORK GROUPS THAT DEALS SPECIFICALLY WITH THAT AND I HAVE ASSIGNED FOR FOLKS TO THIS TENTATIVELY

[01:20:08]

THESE GROUPS WOULD BE MEETING OUTSIDE OUR OUR MEETINGS HERE AND THEN INFORMATION BACK TO TOWN STAFF AND AND TO THESE MEETINGS. SO THAT'S THE FIRST ONE.

THE SECOND ONE IS GETTING MORE DIRECTLY INVOLVED AND I THINK THIS IS PART OF WHAT STUART WAS BRINGING UP EARLIER OR MORE INVOLVED IN LAND ACQUISITION AND DEVELOPMENT WHERE WE CAN REALLY BE AT THE AT THE TOP OF THE LIST FOR FOR KNOWING WHAT'S GOING ON WITH ACQUISITION POSSIBILITIES AND WHERE THOSE LANDS ARE AND WITH PARTICULAR ATTENTION TO THE BEING ABLE TO SATISFY THE MEMORANDA OF UNDERSTANDING THAT HAVE ALREADY BEEN EXECUTED WITH HABITAT AND WITH THE COASTAL COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION AND AGAIN I ASSIGNED FOUR OF US THERE TENTATIVELY DISPLACEMENT WE HAVE TALKED ABOUT AND THIS AN AREA WHERE THAT GROUP NEEDS TO TO MEET AGAIN AND MEET DIRECTLY WITH STAFF IN THE IN THE COMING MONTHS AND WORK TO RESOLVE THE ISSUES THAT HAVE BEEN RAISED TODAY AND THEN A NEW ONE THE LAND MANAGEMENT ORDINANCE IS GOING TO UNDERGO A EXTENSIVE REVIEW WHICH IN LARGE PART WILL HELP TO ENCOURAGE THE DEVELOPMENT OF WORKFORCE AND THEY WOULD LIKE US TO BE INVOLVED THAT AND I HAVE FOUR OF US ON THAT AND THEN THE NEXT TWO ARE EXISTING WORKFORCE AREAS THAT WE HAD TALKED ABOUT BEFORE AND I'M LEAVING THOSE ON THE LIST.

A COUPLE OF OTHERS HAVE DROPPED OFF BUT FUNDING SOURCES DENNIS CRAWFORD IS SHOWING SEVERAL IDEAS THAT MIGHT WORK WELL ON FUNDING AND COMMUNICATIONS GETTING OUT INTO THE COMMUNITY . SO THOSE THOSE ARE BOTH LONGER TERM NUMBERS FIVE AND SIX ARE BOTH LONGER TERM WORK AREAS THAT COULD SHOW SOME SHORT TERM RATE POTENTIAL.

THE FIRST FOUR ARE PRETTY NEAR TERM SPECIFIC ITEMS THAT WE WE CAN BE VERY, VERY HELPFUL ON AND IN THE MIDDLE OF A LOT OF THESE ISSUES RATHER THAN ON THE SIDELINE WITH THAT I'LL OPEN THAT UP FOR FOR COMMENTS. WELL I WOULD JUST SAY I LIKE THE WAY THIS HAS BEEN.

I HAVE A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS AND COURSE YOU MAY BE ABLE TO ANSWER THIS IN TERMS OF BEING PROACTIVE IN REVIEWING PROPERTIES THAT ARE COMING ON THE MARKET.

YES, THERE WERE SOMEONE TOWN THAT DOES THAT IS TRYING TO BE KNOWLEDGEABLE OF SOMETHING THAT COULD BE COMING ON THE MARKET COMES ON THE MARKET THAT THE TOWN COULD BUY THAT WOULD BE APPROPRIATE HOUSING AND I JUST DON'T KNOW HOW IT WORKS. IS THERE SOMEONE THAT'S THAT THAT IS THEIR RESPONSIBILITY OR WAS A RELATES TO POTENTIAL HOUSING SITES WHETHER THAT'S FOR FOR PUBLIC OR EVEN JUST FOR PRIVATE PARTNERSHIPS ARE BEING INFORMAL PARTNERSHIPS THAT MAY BE ABLE TO BE FORMED THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE'VE STARTED TO TASK QUINCY WEST TO WORK THROUGH AND BE ON THE LOOKOUT FOR THOSE AND ESTABLISH CONNECTIONS WITH THE REAL ESTATE COMMUNITY AS WELL AS IN OTHER ORGANIZATIONS. SOMETIMES A LOT OF THOSE PROPERTIES ARE COME AVAILABLE THEY'RE NOT NECESSARY THROUGH AN MLS BUT THROUGH WORD OF MOUTH AND THOSE ARE THE HARD ONES FOR US IT'S EASY TO PULL UP THE MLS LISTINGS SO TRYING TO CREATE THAT COMMUNICATION CHANNEL WITH QUINCY RELATES TO THAT.

SO AND THERE'S OTHERS THAT ARE INVOLVED IN THAT PROCESS THROUGHOUT THE TOWN THROUGHOUT THE TOWN STRUCTURE AND THERE'S ALWAYS CONVERSATIONS HAPPEN IN BETWEEN BUT IT'S SOMETHING WE'RE TRYING TO GET BETTER AT ESPECIALLY FROM A HOUSING FOCUS.

OKAY SO MY QUESTION IS IN TERMS OF SHORT TERM RENTALS TYPE B AS I THINK PROBABLY MOST PEOPLE NOW ADOPTED A A PHILOSOPHY ABOUT THEY'RE GOING TO MANAGE THAT.

IS THAT ANYTHING THE TOWN IS CONSIDERING? YES.

THAT THERE'S BEEN A CONSIDERABLE CONVERSATION WITH TOWN COUNCIL ABOUT SHORT TERM RENTALS. THERE ARE SOME TASKS THAT ARE IN FRONT OF THE PLANNING DEPARTMENT NOW TO TO LOOK AT OUR SHORT TERM RENTAL REGULATIONS AND HOW DO WE MANAGE SHORT TERM RENTALS AND THERE'S BEEN SIGNIFICANT COMMITTEE MEETINGS WITH TOWN COUNCIL AS WELL BUT THERE WILL BE ADDITIONAL INFORMATION COMING FORWARD IN THE NEAR FUTURE THEY ARE THOSE ARE PART OF THE PRIORITY AMENDMENTS THAT THE PLANNING STAFF IS

[01:25:03]

CHUCK JUST FOR FOR UNDERSTANDING IS THERE A COMMITTEE CHAIR TO ALL OF THESE SUBCOMMITTEES? HOW IS THIS ORGANIZED TO PULL THE GROUP TOGETHER THAT COMMITTEE GROUP TOGETHER? I THINK EACH OF THESE GROUPS NEEDS TO MEET AND AND IDENTIFY A COORDINATOR AND CALL THEM ON A CHAIR OF THEIR WORK GROUP. BUT SOMEBODY THAT WILL WELL WE'LL CALL THE MEETINGS AND IT ORGANIZED SO I'D LIKE TO SEE ALL THESE GROUPS MEET IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF WEEKS AND I CAN GO AHEAD AND CALL FOR THESE FIRST MEETINGS I THINK THAT WOULD BE HELPFUL FOR EVERYONE AND THEN YOU AMONG YOURSELVES CAN CAN DECIDE RIGHT WHERE YOU TAKE IT FROM THERE AND I THINK WE HAVE BEEN CONCERNED THERE WAS NOT MUCH OF A DIRECT LINE FROM THESE WORK GROUPS TO STAFF PREVIOUSLY. I, I THINK WE'VE GOT REASSURANCE THAT THAT THAT LINE WILL BE THERE THAT IT HAS NOT THAT THAT'S BEEN A FAILING IN THE END AND IT WILL BE WILL THAT BE YOUR STAFF OVERSIGHT THEN ON EACH COMMITTEE SUBCOMMITTEE OR JUST GENERALLY MORE COMMUNICATION WITH THE STAFF THAT POINT YEAH STAFF PARTICIPATION IN THOSE MEETINGS AND AND THAT THEY WILL THEY WILL BE AWARE OF THAT ARE GOING ON AND THAT THEY NEED TO BE ATTENTIVE TO THAT THE STAFF WILL NOT BE RUNNING MEETINGS THEY WILL BE PARTICIPATING I THINK DENNIS AND SEAN ARE FOLLOWING UP ON WHAT SANDY SAID ABOUT THE SHORT TERM RENTALS. IS THERE ANY ABILITY FOR US TO GET INFORMATION AS TO WHAT TOWN COUNCILORS IT JUST SEEMS TO ME THAT AS TIME GOES BY AND MORE AND MORE RENTALS SHORT TERM RENTALS GO INTO THE INVESTMENT MARKET EXAMPLE WHICH IS OCCURRING WE LOSE MORE AND MORE OPPORTUNITIES FOR THOSE SHORT TERM RENTALS TO BE AFFORDABLE HOUSING SO I FOR ONE WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT YOU GUYS WERE THINKING ABOUT THAT AND PERHAPS YOU KNOW WE CAN PROVIDE SOME INFO ON THAT ALSO BECAUSE INSTEAD OF BUILDING AND FOR PLACES TO ACQUIRE AND CONVERT THIS WHOLE AREA THAT HAS TO BE ADDRESSED. I THINK VERY CERTAINLY WE CAN ONCE INFORMATION IS AVAILABLE CAN WE CAN PROVIDE THAT AS AN UPDATE TO THE TO THIS COMMITTEE THE REGULATIONS AT THIS POINT AT LEAST WHAT'S BEEN DISCUSSED IS ABOUT ENFORCEMENT AND PENALTIES. IT'S ABOUT QUANTITY AND IMPACTS OF SHORT TERM RENTALS ON THE SURROUNDING. IT'S ABOUT SQUARE SCALE QUALITY CHARACTER OF OF THE SHORT TERM RENTALS AND TIMESHARES ARE ALSO BEING BROUGHT UP AS AS A CONCERN A PART OF THAT THAT THAT SHORT TERM RENTAL PROCESS SO IT'S A MULTIFACETED APPROACH AS AS WE AS WE THINK ABOUT SHORT TERM RENTALS IN THE COMMUNITY BECAUSE THERE IS I KNOW IN MY REVIEW CERTAIN OTHER RESORT COMMUNITIES THERE IS THE ABILITY PUT OR PUT RESTRICTIONS ON THIS UNIT WITH WITH THE ABILITY TO COMPENSATE THE OWNERS. THERE'S A WHOLE BUNCH OF WAYS YOU CAN PURSUE THAT AND YOU KNOW, I JUST LIKE TO BE INVOLVED IN IT AS PART OF THIS COMMITTEE AND I ALSO YOU KNOW, AS SOME OF YOU KNOW, BEING A SHORT TERM RENTAL OWNER MYSELF AND HAVING A LARGE NETWORK OF OTHER SHORT TERM RENTALS, THE CONSENSUS IS IS THAT WE COULD NEVER MAKE A SHORT TERM RENTAL HOUSING WITHOUT A SERIOUS DEFICIT, YOU KNOW, BETWEEN THE INSURANCE AND THE HRA COST, THE FUNDS JUST AREN'T AREN'T THERE WITHOUT SOME TYPE OF GRANT OR A FOR THE TENANT IN PAYING THAT RENT. I WILL SAY THAT YOU KNOW MANY OF THE SHORT TERM RENTALS HAVE A DESIRE TO GO INTO THE LONG TERM MARKET HOWEVER THEY ARE ECONOMICALLY THEY JUST CAN'T DO IT. WELL MY POINT WOULD BE OTHER MUNICIPALITIES DO IT AND I'D JUST LIKE TO SEE THE PROS AND CONS OF IT SO THAT WE CAN EVALUATE ONE OTHER WORD ABOUT THESE THESE WORK AREAS THAT THEY ARE NOT INTENDED TO BE LONG TERM STANDING COMMITTEES. THEY THEY DO WHAT THEY CAN ON A PARTICULAR ISSUE, MAKE THEIR REPORTS, HAVE THEIR IMPACT AND THEN MOVE ON TO SOMETHING ELSE. AND I THINK THAT'S PARTICULARLY TRUE OF THESE THESE FIRST FOUR MIGHTY CREEK BRYANT ROAD NEEDS A GOOD BIT OF ATTENTION NOW TO

[01:30:05]
