[8:47] uh welcome to your your return to charom
[8:53] um I'll keep this quick um and uh this

[8:59] on the status of our growth Management
[9:02] program checklist or your checklist that
[9:04] each city is required to submit in order
[9:07] to receive their
[9:08] 18% Return To Source funds as well as uh
[9:11] there's an additional
[9:13] 2.09% uh available in some parts of the
[9:16] county and the checklist is that
[9:18] mechanism to to get those Return To
[9:20] Source funds so we're in the 2018
[9:23] 2019 uh year cycle uh payments for
[9:27] fiscal year 1920 and 2021 are uh in play
[9:32] with approval of this uh checklist
[9:35] there's $16.8 million out there for the
[9:38] the current 1920 fiscal year that we're
[9:40] paying out upon approval of checklists
[9:42] so uh just so you know they are all due
[9:45] by June 30th of this year we've only had
[9:47] six of the 20 uh submitted to date H
[9:51] submitted and approved however um Oakley
[9:54] did submit theirs over the break so
[9:55] we've got seven in the system but 13
[9:58] left um uh I'll I'll uh for the benefit
[10:02] of the new member your uh city is uh has
[10:05] taken care of their uh requirement
[10:08] submitted their checklist so you don't
[10:10] need to do anything but uh for the rest
[10:12] and you can see the attachment if your
[10:14] city is uh doesn't have a check mark
[10:17] next to it we encourage you to talk to
[10:19] staff but our recommendation tonight is
[10:21] or our offers really just to uh remind
[10:24] the
[10:25] jurisdictions mat will this be a consent
[10:28] item on our um Regular CCTA
[10:31] meeting it would probably be unless it's
[10:34] requested that it be on the um I let's
[10:38] keep it as a consent item but perhaps uh
[10:41] in the and I don't have the staff report
[10:43] in front of me but if there could be an
[10:45] updated list of those cities and or the
[10:48] county uh that might not have and um uh
[10:52] maybe one of us will we won't pull it
[10:53] from the consent calendar but we could
[10:55] at least mention as a reminder um that
[10:59] it needs to get in so is that all right
[11:02] with everybody I think so yes thank you
