Planning District Commission Meeting   8/20/2020

First items is, let's just go ahead and do matters from the public.

With that, I will turn it over to you, Mr. Vice Chair.

I saw tubs, I think.

Or if you'd like, just let us know you'd like to speak.

With nothing being said, can I get a motion to approve the minutes of the June 4th meeting as presented?

So moved.

Okay, so that's a motion by Lisa and a second by I believe Andrea.

Correct.

Or if you want, we could just do a I and then walk away.

Hold on, Bob.

Christine, you're muted.

Seems to be the theme.

And just a reminder, this is a motion to approve the minutes of the June 4th meeting.

I have no questions, comments, or concerns at this time.

I would like to make a motion that we accept the financials as presented.

Christine, do you want to pull up the information or would you like for me to share?

Either way, I have it up and ready if you want me to share.

We'll get out of that.

Is it sharing the correct screen?

That is the report.

But with that, you know, we've been really pleased with how this is working We know there are some things that we can continue to work on We would love your support if possible and helping with the outreach and making sure we're getting the right communities access to these funds so if you have any suggestion or any Things you would like for us to be doing differently Please reach out to me directly and I'm happy to help and work on it

One quick question that came from one of the board members was, can we get a copy of this presentation sent out to the directors?

Absolutely.

And then after that, I guess, Chip, you were looking for a motion to approve the funding agreement for rent and mortgage relief program?

Mr. Chairman, I would like to make that motion.

That is a no-brainer, right?

Alright, here we go.

Dario trying to make it across the working bridge.

Move it fast.

So there was a motion from Keith and a second from who?

I seconded.

Christine, if you could go ahead and do the roll call.

I've got, oh, sorry about that.

We've got some more extras joined us.

Aye.

That's Bob.

I've got Bob.

That would be Bob.

Yes, I.

Has Donna Price joined the call?

She will not be joining tonight, Christine.

Has he joined the call?

I have not seen his name pop up.

Thank you.

Chip, moving on to the grievance policy and procedures.

OK. You should.

If there are any specific questions on those two things, I'm happy to take them.

Michael, you have a question?

I just know I've gotten a couple questions about that.

We don't have it translated into any other languages, but that is something we can look into because we now have, DHCD has now given us access to a language line that we can use so I can reach out to them to see if we can convert that document so that it isn't available in Spanish.

Okay, thank you.

Can we, whoever that was.

There may be a need for more than just the Spanish language.

I imagine that's something that they can make available as needed basis.

So we could do that and put it on the website and it can translate into who knows how.

I need a second.

Second.

Christine, if you could go ahead and do a roll call vote.

Can you tell me who made the motion?

The motion was Lisa Green and the second was Michael Payne.

Keith Smith?

Aye.

Ned Galloway?

Aye.

Jesse Rutherford?

Aye.

Michael Payne?

Aye.

Waiting on Tony O'Brien?

Motion's going to pass no matter what.

All right.

Oh, Tony is an eye.

Thank you, Tony.

Chip, take it away.

All of this is in place, you all have had a chance to look at it, but we haven't had an opportunity to officially approve this framework until the committee can get up and operating and then come back to you with an official set of bylaws.

All right, if I could, does anyone have any specific questions for Chip before I ask for the motion?

Yep, Chip, I saw that there was the first meeting was hoped for in September, but we'll have to go back and get board approval for whoever's going to participate on this.

Yes.

We just had a board meeting last night, so we won't meet again until September.

We will continue that until we can have a formal committee in place.

Thank you.

Is there any other questions for Chip or Christine related to the broadband regional housing partner, regional partnership

I'm in favor of it and I'd like to join that ad hoc committee if possible.

Hearing none, I'm going to ask for a motion to approve the Regional Broadband Partnership Framework as presented.

Tony got it.

I need a second.

I'll do that.
