Um

533
00:21:24,040 --> 00:21:25,760
the administrative support is critical

534
00:21:25,760 --> 00:21:27,840
to our operations. It allows the buyers

535
00:21:27,840 --> 00:21:30,400
and myself over management to focus on

536

so having this administrative support is

542
00:21:42,960 --> 00:21:46,120
is very important. Um the administrative

543
00:21:46,120 --> 00:21:49,480
support would handle all of our filing,

544
00:21:49,480 --> 00:21:50,440

a journey to kind of get them to spend

744
00:27:12,160 --> 00:27:14,440
the money in compliance with the rules

745
00:27:14,440 --> 00:27:16,680
set out by Treasury, and Robin and her

746
00:27:16,680 --> 00:27:18,360
team have done a great job, but now it's

747
00:27:18,360 --> 00:27:21,400
time for us to get those projects closed

748
00:27:21,400 --> 00:27:24,840
out and to get our final reports to

749
00:27:24,840 --> 00:27:27,200
Treasury, and that's going to require a

750
00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:30,440
little bit more guidance um for those

751
00:27:30,440 --> 00:27:33,320
that either

752
00:27:33,320 --> 00:27:35,480
received incorrect information in the

753
00:27:35,480 --> 00:27:37,520
beginning or need help getting across

754
00:27:37,520 --> 00:27:39,480
the line. So, this is what we're trying

755
00:27:39,480 --> 00:27:41,040
to do, and Robin has put together a

756
00:27:41,040 --> 00:27:43,720
brief presentation that will probably

757
00:27:43,720 --> 00:27:45,080
give you a little bit more information

758
00:27:45,080 --> 00:27:46,960
as to where we are right now. So, I'll

759
00:27:46,960 --> 00:27:49,160
turn it over to Robin.

760
00:27:49,160 --> 00:27:51,390
>> Good morning. Good morning. I'm not um

761
00:27:51,390 --> 00:27:51,400
» Good morning. Good morning. I'm not um

762
00:27:51,400 --> 00:27:52,880
I don't have the ability to share my

763
00:27:52,880 --> 00:27:54,440
screen. I don't know if I can get that

764
00:27:54,440 --> 00:27:56,200
ability real quickly in Teams. I was

765
00:27:56,200 --> 00:27:57,240
waiting

766
00:27:57,240 --> 00:27:58,360
for the share.

767
00:27:58,360 --> 00:28:00,030
>> I think um

768
00:28:00,030 --> 00:28:00,040
» I think um

769
00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:01,440
they are going to We have your

770
00:28:01,440 --> 00:28:02,760
presentation, so I think they're going

771
00:28:02,760 --> 00:28:04,560
to share.

772
00:28:04,560 --> 00:28:06,510
>> Oh, I I I'll just walk through it then.

773
00:28:06,510 --> 00:28:06,520
» Oh, I I I'll just walk through it then.

774
00:28:06,520 --> 00:28:07,560
I can't see it.

775
00:28:07,560 --> 00:28:07,870
>> Okay.

776
00:28:07,870 --> 00:28:07,880
» Okay.

777
00:28:07,880 --> 00:28:11,590
>> Okay. So, um as Regina alluded to, and I

778
00:28:11,590 --> 00:28:11,600
» Okay. So, um as Regina alluded to, and I

779
00:28:11,600 --> 00:28:13,000
think we made this clear when we

780
00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:15,160
initially earlier on in our contract, we

781
00:28:15,160 --> 00:28:16,320
had brought some things to the

782
00:28:16,320 --> 00:28:17,600
commission

783
00:28:17,600 --> 00:28:19,880
as we started to experience some

784
00:28:19,880 --> 00:28:22,600
some some issues that concerned us. So,

785
00:28:22,600 --> 00:28:24,840
our original scope when we started, you

786
00:28:24,840 --> 00:28:27,560
know, we we believed that let's just say

787
00:28:27,560 --> 00:28:29,000
because you had prior consultants and

788
00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:31,640
you had prior work done that your files,

789
00:28:31,640 --> 00:28:33,800
your documentation were at a certain

790
00:28:33,800 --> 00:28:35,600
level as far as compliance with this

791
00:28:35,600 --> 00:28:38,080
one-time generational funding through

792
00:28:38,080 --> 00:28:41,080
the ARPA program. Um we brought to your

793
00:28:41,080 --> 00:28:43,080
attention early on that we had serious

794
00:28:43,080 --> 00:28:44,320
concerns about some initial

795
00:28:44,320 --> 00:28:46,600
determinations made relative to whether

796
00:28:46,600 --> 00:28:48,320
the agreements with your partners,

797
00:28:48,320 --> 00:28:49,320
because that's what we call them, your

798
00:28:49,320 --> 00:28:52,040
partners and your grantees, uh

799
00:28:52,040 --> 00:28:53,400
were

800
00:28:53,400 --> 00:28:55,640
I will just say with the designation of

801
00:28:55,640 --> 00:28:57,800
the agreement type, subrecipient versus

802
00:28:57,800 --> 00:29:00,040
beneficiary, were consistent and

803
00:29:00,040 --> 00:29:02,320
compliant with both the Treasury

804
00:29:02,320 --> 00:29:03,960
guidance as well as the uniform

805
00:29:03,960 --> 00:29:06,680
guidance. And we raised those issues. Uh

806
00:29:06,680 --> 00:29:15,230
what we what we recommended and and

807
00:29:15,240 --> 00:29:19,670
» We lost you.

808
00:29:19,680 --> 00:29:30,510
Robin, we lost you.

809
00:29:30,520 --> 00:29:31,640
» No.

810
00:29:31,640 --> 00:29:32,150
>> Regina

811
00:29:32,150 --> 00:29:32,160
» Regina

812
00:29:32,160 --> 00:29:34,030
>> I'm going to put you on speaker.

813
00:29:34,030 --> 00:29:34,040
» I'm going to put you on speaker.

814
00:29:34,040 --> 00:29:34,590
>> Okay.

815
00:29:34,590 --> 00:29:34,600
» Okay.

816
00:29:34,600 --> 00:29:36,710
>> All right.

817
00:29:36,720 --> 00:29:37,480
Go ahead, Robin.

818
00:29:37,480 --> 00:29:38,830
>> Go ahead.

819
00:29:38,830 --> 00:29:38,840
» Go ahead.

820
00:29:38,840 --> 00:29:43,070
Okay, can you all hear me now?

821
00:29:43,080 --> 00:29:44,680
Unmute me. Can you all hear me now?

822
00:29:44,680 --> 00:29:45,910
>> Yes.

823
00:29:45,910 --> 00:29:45,920
» Yes.

824
00:29:45,920 --> 00:29:48,310
>> Okay. So, as I was saying, you can go to

825
00:29:48,310 --> 00:29:48,320
» Okay. So, as I was saying, you can go to

826
00:29:48,320 --> 00:29:50,840
the next slide.

827
00:29:50,840 --> 00:29:52,280
Here, too.

828
00:29:52,280 --> 00:29:54,830
Um

829
00:29:54,840 --> 00:29:56,040
And you can go to the next slide as

830
00:29:56,040 --> 00:29:57,640
well.

831
00:29:57,640 --> 00:30:01,270
So, what we

832
00:30:01,280 --> 00:30:04,080
what we identified early on was that

833
00:30:04,080 --> 00:30:06,040
those issues could potentially put this

834
00:30:06,040 --> 00:30:08,720
really the county in a precarious

835
00:30:08,720 --> 00:30:10,680
situation under audit. And one of the

836
00:30:10,680 --> 00:30:13,040
big things we are audit defensible and

837
00:30:13,040 --> 00:30:14,720
and we brought that to the table as far

838
00:30:14,720 --> 00:30:16,040
as our approach. You can go to the next

839
00:30:16,040 --> 00:30:17,520
slide. So, when we looked at the

840
00:30:17,520 --> 00:30:19,920
projects and made that it down There we

841
00:30:19,920 --> 00:30:22,840
go. So, what we identified was that for

842
00:30:22,840 --> 00:30:25,240
those projects, that determination of

843
00:30:25,240 --> 00:30:27,960
subrecipients versus beneficiary had

844
00:30:27,960 --> 00:30:29,840
tremendous impact on how you had to

845
00:30:29,840 --> 00:30:32,160
monitor projects. We elected and

846
00:30:32,160 --> 00:30:33,440
discussed with going with the

847
00:30:33,440 --> 00:30:35,760
conservative approach, so that even if

848
00:30:35,760 --> 00:30:37,880
the initial determination is questioned

849
00:30:37,880 --> 00:30:40,000
under audit,

850
00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:42,040
The approach for the county is that

851
00:30:42,040 --> 00:30:43,680
we're going to be the most conservative

852
00:30:43,680 --> 00:30:45,360
and we're going to treat them all at the

853
00:30:45,360 --> 00:30:46,960
highest standard, which would have been

854
00:30:46,960 --> 00:30:49,000
as a subrecipient. So, we did not go

855
00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:50,840
back and try to argue the point about

856
00:30:50,840 --> 00:30:52,720
the initial determination. What we

857
00:30:52,720 --> 00:30:54,280
proposed and the county understood and

858
00:30:54,280 --> 00:30:56,320
accepted was that we're going to go with

859
00:30:56,320 --> 00:30:58,040
the most conservative and the most

860
00:30:58,040 --> 00:30:59,920
protected um protective and audit

861
00:30:59,920 --> 00:31:02,040
defensible for the county and to treat

862
00:31:02,040 --> 00:31:04,520
these projects as subrecipients and make

863
00:31:04,520 --> 00:31:07,120
sure we're validating 100%

864
00:31:07,120 --> 00:31:09,040
of the dollars that were used for ARPA

865
00:31:09,040 --> 00:31:11,800
programs. So, there's 65 projects. The

866
00:31:11,800 --> 00:31:13,680
good thing is you all have obligated all

867
00:31:13,680 --> 00:31:15,280
of the money's obligated. This meant

868
00:31:15,280 --> 00:31:17,680
that as of December 31st, 2024, all your

869
00:31:17,680 --> 00:31:19,680
pro all your money's were in a pro a

870
00:31:19,680 --> 00:31:22,400
project. To date, total we've totally

871
00:31:22,400 --> 00:31:24,280
validated When I say validated, that

872
00:31:24,280 --> 00:31:25,720
mean my teams have gone through the

873
00:31:25,720 --> 00:31:27,640
actual expenditure exports supporting

874
00:31:27,640 --> 00:31:30,560
documentation, um the project scope,

875
00:31:30,560 --> 00:31:32,880
every dollar and we verified that these

876
00:31:32,880 --> 00:31:34,560
dollars were spent

877
00:31:34,560 --> 00:31:37,120
based on eligible um costs, allowable,

878
00:31:37,120 --> 00:31:38,520
reasonable, and necessary costs

879
00:31:38,520 --> 00:31:40,600
consistent with the uniform guidance.

880
00:31:40,600 --> 00:31:43,600
However, we have about 11,800

881
00:31:43,600 --> 00:31:45,320
11,800

882
00:31:45,320 --> 00:31:48,320
that we have to validate and get spent

883
00:31:48,320 --> 00:31:51,160
by December 31st, 2026. And that's the

884
00:31:51,160 --> 00:31:53,120
population we're focused in on because

885
00:31:53,120 --> 00:31:55,040
as you all know, failure to for those

886
00:31:55,040 --> 00:31:57,360
funds to be expended by December 31st

887
00:31:57,360 --> 00:31:59,520
will result in me and the county having

888
00:31:59,520 --> 00:32:02,160
to recapture and return those funds to

889
00:32:02,160 --> 00:32:04,240
um the county and that's what Regina was

890
00:32:04,240 --> 00:32:08,800
alluding to. Of that 72 of that 11,800,

891
00:32:08,800 --> 00:32:12,400
a lot of those are your uh grantees who

892
00:32:12,400 --> 00:32:15,360
do not neces did not necessarily have a

893
00:32:15,360 --> 00:32:17,280
full understanding standing of federal

894
00:32:17,280 --> 00:32:19,480
grants. And we've had to work very

895
00:32:19,480 --> 00:32:21,480
closely with them and and getting them

896
00:32:21,480 --> 00:32:23,080
to, you know, have it, you know,

897
00:32:23,080 --> 00:32:25,320
identify expenditures, maybe modify the

898
00:32:25,320 --> 00:32:26,640
expenditures to make sure they're

899
00:32:26,640 --> 00:32:29,440
eligible. Their budgets are off. Um lack

900
00:32:29,440 --> 00:32:31,400
of documentation. They simply didn't

901
00:32:31,400 --> 00:32:33,480
realize the level of documentation, even

902
00:32:33,480 --> 00:32:35,320
though it is in their agreement. I do

903
00:32:35,320 --> 00:32:36,800
want to note that your agreements made

904
00:32:36,800 --> 00:32:38,560
it clear that all of that they had to

905
00:32:38,560 --> 00:32:42,120
provide audit supporting documentation

906
00:32:42,120 --> 00:32:44,080
as requested for any expenditure. So

907
00:32:44,080 --> 00:32:45,720
whether they were a subrecipient or

908
00:32:45,720 --> 00:32:47,720
beneficiary, your agreements made that

909
00:32:47,720 --> 00:32:50,520
clear. So at this point, we have about

910
00:32:50,520 --> 00:32:52,760
32 projects that pretty much were ready

911
00:32:52,760 --> 00:32:55,040
that they complete documentation. We're

912
00:32:55,040 --> 00:32:57,440
ready to close out. 33 we have where

913
00:32:57,440 --> 00:32:59,200
we're in this

914
00:32:59,200 --> 00:33:01,160
period of of attempting to work with

915
00:33:01,160 --> 00:33:02,960
them to make sure these funds are spent

916
00:33:02,960 --> 00:33:05,160
and spent allowable.

917
00:33:05,160 --> 00:33:07,320
We have about 39 where we had a

918
00:33:07,320 --> 00:33:09,800
discrepancy with the classification. And

919
00:33:09,800 --> 00:33:11,680
so as I said, we've dealt with them. We

920
00:33:11,680 --> 00:33:13,440
feel like the county is in the best

921
00:33:13,440 --> 00:33:15,360
protected position based on our approach

922
00:33:15,360 --> 00:33:16,720
to treat them

923
00:33:16,720 --> 00:33:19,000
hold them to the higher standards. So we

924
00:33:19,000 --> 00:33:21,280
have 35 projects that are in process. We

925
00:33:21,280 --> 00:33:22,760
have about

926
00:33:22,760 --> 00:33:23,480
um

927
00:33:23,480 --> 00:33:25,520
28 that are ready for closeout, which is

928
00:33:25,520 --> 00:33:26,920
going to we're closing starting to close

929
00:33:26,920 --> 00:33:28,360
them out and then two that we're trying

930
00:33:28,360 --> 00:33:31,360
to kind of determine where they are. We

931
00:33:31,360 --> 00:33:33,720
have One of the issues too is we started

932
00:33:33,720 --> 00:33:35,400
to have some poorly reporting that

933
00:33:35,400 --> 00:33:37,520
wasn't being done. So we've been working

934
00:33:37,520 --> 00:33:38,800
with them as well. You can go to the

935
00:33:38,800 --> 00:33:43,910
next slide. So where we are

936
00:33:43,920 --> 00:33:46,600
You can go to Yeah, thank you. So this

937
00:33:46,600 --> 00:33:48,640
then this deals with with advances,

938
00:33:48,640 --> 00:33:51,120
spend rate, and deobligation. So one

939
00:33:51,120 --> 00:33:52,640
other thing to keep in mind is that some

940
00:33:52,640 --> 00:33:54,720
people got money up front. So we have to

941
00:33:54,720 --> 00:33:57,080
validate their expenses. And of that

942
00:33:57,080 --> 00:33:58,800
419,000,

943
00:33:58,800 --> 00:34:01,760
basically we have validated. We have 600

944
00:34:01,760 --> 00:34:03,160
Remember now, this money is already

945
00:34:03,160 --> 00:34:05,320
gone. We're we're trying to get their

946
00:34:05,320 --> 00:34:07,320
their actual expenditures to validate

947
00:34:07,320 --> 00:34:08,960
that they used those funds for the

948
00:34:08,960 --> 00:34:11,960
intended purposes. So potentially, those

949
00:34:11,960 --> 00:34:13,520
are the ones too and that's within that

950
00:34:13,520 --> 00:34:15,399
whole 11 million that we're attempting

951
00:34:15,399 --> 00:34:17,840
to validate. We see a potential

952
00:34:17,840 --> 00:34:20,480
obligation of 500,000 just because some

953
00:34:20,480 --> 00:34:22,320
under and over budgets, but that number

954
00:34:22,320 --> 00:34:24,560
is not firm at this point. And at this

955
00:34:24,560 --> 00:34:27,520
point, we have about 60.2% of the funds

956
00:34:27,520 --> 00:34:29,600
advanced funds that are

957
00:34:29,600 --> 00:34:32,159
validated. So we have about 38% roughly

958
00:34:32,159 --> 00:34:34,600
that are not validated. We can go to the

959
00:34:34,600 --> 00:34:39,550
next slide.

960
00:34:39,560 --> 00:34:41,800
Yeah. Yeah, thank you. So, what we've

961
00:34:41,800 --> 00:34:43,919
taken what we've done, a lot of direct

962
00:34:43,919 --> 00:34:46,720
communication, Regina, our team,

963
00:34:46,720 --> 00:34:49,200
calling, emails, not

964
00:34:49,200 --> 00:34:51,560
follow-up, conference calls. We've

965
00:34:51,560 --> 00:34:53,000
looked we've reviewed their quarterly

966
00:34:53,000 --> 00:34:54,720
reports, their financial reports, their

967
00:34:54,720 --> 00:34:56,240
project reports, their request for

968
00:34:56,240 --> 00:34:58,800
reimbursement money reports, um weekly

969
00:34:58,800 --> 00:35:00,080
conference calls on spending

970
00:35:00,080 --> 00:35:02,320
projections. We still meet weekly with

971
00:35:02,320 --> 00:35:04,080
um the county to go over these spending

972
00:35:04,080 --> 00:35:05,960
projections and even more so as we're

973
00:35:05,960 --> 00:35:07,320
getting closer and closer to that

974
00:35:07,320 --> 00:35:10,200
deadline. We have um discussed a more

975
00:35:10,200 --> 00:35:11,440
aggressive approach for these

976
00:35:11,440 --> 00:35:13,400
non-responsive. Like I said, the last

977
00:35:13,400 --> 00:35:15,920
quarter we noticed we didn't get 46 46

978
00:35:15,920 --> 00:35:18,800
reports and we're at um that quarter was

979
00:35:18,800 --> 00:35:21,280
June 30th and we're August 11th. So, we

980
00:35:21,280 --> 00:35:22,960
just talked about the fact of making it

981
00:35:22,960 --> 00:35:25,040
clear to failure to validate or provide

982
00:35:25,040 --> 00:35:26,640
us with the documentation to validate

983
00:35:26,640 --> 00:35:30,000
may result in the recapture of um of

984
00:35:30,000 --> 00:35:31,720
those funds or the re-obligation or

985
00:35:31,720 --> 00:35:34,160
re-allocation of those funds. So, that's

986
00:35:34,160 --> 00:35:36,040
the more aggressive approach we're going

987
00:35:36,040 --> 00:35:38,280
to have to that we're taking now to get

988
00:35:38,280 --> 00:35:40,320
us across the finish line. And so, of

989
00:35:40,320 --> 00:35:42,760
course, the conflict consequences of

990
00:35:42,760 --> 00:35:44,480
non-responsive, of them not responding,

991
00:35:44,480 --> 00:35:46,600
this $11 million of those in that pool

992
00:35:46,600 --> 00:35:49,240
are not is potential de-obligation and

993
00:35:49,240 --> 00:35:50,680
the county does still have some

994
00:35:50,680 --> 00:35:53,560
re-allocation they can do um within now

995
00:35:53,560 --> 00:35:56,680
and December 31st, 2026. The issue is

996
00:35:56,680 --> 00:35:58,040
understanding what needs to be

997
00:35:58,040 --> 00:36:00,480
de-obligated and rather re-allocated,

998
00:36:00,480 --> 00:36:01,720
which is what we're trying to get our

999
00:36:01,720 --> 00:36:06,270
pulse more around. Next slide.

1000
00:36:06,280 --> 00:36:09,080
So, what that looks like that yeah. What

1001
00:36:09,080 --> 00:36:11,240
that looks like when you see that number

1002
00:36:11,240 --> 00:36:13,920
350 increase, I just want to say our

1003
00:36:13,920 --> 00:36:15,680
original contract only went through

1004
00:36:15,680 --> 00:36:18,120
January 1st, 2027.

1005
00:36:18,120 --> 00:36:20,360
Um Treasury has put out guidance and

1006
00:36:20,360 --> 00:36:22,560
indicated that close out those to April

1007
00:36:22,560 --> 00:36:25,280
30th, 2027. So, what does that mean?

1008
00:36:25,280 --> 00:36:27,200
Even if funds are expended by December

1009
00:36:27,200 --> 00:36:29,440
31st, every grant, every project has to

1010
00:36:29,440 --> 00:36:31,640
be closed out. And even And Treasury

1011
00:36:31,640 --> 00:36:33,600
recognized that that will not will not

1012
00:36:33,600 --> 00:36:35,760
happen by December 31st, even if all the

1013
00:36:35,760 --> 00:36:38,480
money's are. So, Treasury has extended

1014
00:36:38,480 --> 00:36:40,800
through April 30th, 2027 for the

1015
00:36:40,800 --> 00:36:42,440
closeout of the project. And we're

1016
00:36:42,440 --> 00:36:45,640
recommending um our contract be extended

1017
00:36:45,640 --> 00:36:47,840
to cover that period as well. So, in

1018
00:36:47,840 --> 00:36:50,000
that period, um

1019
00:36:50,000 --> 00:36:52,080
and you can go to the next slide.

1020
00:36:52,080 --> 00:36:53,480
Oh, you can stay here. You can stay

1021
00:36:53,480 --> 00:36:56,160
here. Um what this budget supports, we

1022
00:36:56,160 --> 00:36:57,520
got to complete all of the ARPA

1023
00:36:57,520 --> 00:36:59,840
reconciliation and closeout. One of the

1024
00:36:59,840 --> 00:37:02,160
big reconciliations is to what you've

1025
00:37:02,160 --> 00:37:04,440
been reporting in Treasury. Treasury

1026
00:37:04,440 --> 00:37:07,080
just issued an alert about 6 weeks ago

1027
00:37:07,080 --> 00:37:08,800
about the aggressive actions that how

1028
00:37:08,800 --> 00:37:10,400
they're going to determine who's being

1029
00:37:10,400 --> 00:37:12,120
monitored. And they're going to really

1030
00:37:12,120 --> 00:37:13,960
look at those Treasury reports and the

1031
00:37:13,960 --> 00:37:16,960
categories and the expense categories,

1032
00:37:16,960 --> 00:37:18,960
um how you've been reporting. So, we

1033
00:37:18,960 --> 00:37:20,680
need to make sure that all of the

1034
00:37:20,680 --> 00:37:22,400
changes that have impacted are being

1035
00:37:22,400 --> 00:37:24,360
reported in those reports. We're going

1036
00:37:24,360 --> 00:37:26,320
to finalize, continue monitoring, and

1037
00:37:26,320 --> 00:37:27,960
technical assistance, processing

1038
00:37:27,960 --> 00:37:30,160
reimbursements, getting these files as

1039
00:37:30,160 --> 00:37:31,920
complete as possible. We've done so many

1040
00:37:31,920 --> 00:37:33,600
amendments and we'll continue to do so

1041
00:37:33,600 --> 00:37:35,720
to get the documentation right. And as

1042
00:37:35,720 --> 00:37:37,680
you know, we're working on three audits,

1043
00:37:37,680 --> 00:37:40,440
which were 40% complete. And we hope to

1044
00:37:40,440 --> 00:37:42,160
have the audit results on the conflict

1045
00:37:42,160 --> 00:37:45,080
of interest within the next 30 days,

1046
00:37:45,080 --> 00:37:46,720
putting it mildly. Within the next 30

1047
00:37:46,720 --> 00:37:48,640
days, we should have

1048
00:37:48,640 --> 00:37:49,800
um some

1049
00:37:49,800 --> 00:37:51,800
some reporting to you at least on the

1050
00:37:51,800 --> 00:37:53,520
conflict of interest audit. And we're

1051
00:37:53,520 --> 00:37:55,720
very close to finishing that. All the

1052
00:37:55,720 --> 00:37:57,200
other audits we're doing field work, and

1053
00:37:57,200 --> 00:37:58,800
we expect to be finished by September

1054
00:37:58,800 --> 00:38:01,360
30th, 2026. You can go to the next

1055
00:38:01,360 --> 00:38:04,270
slide.

1056
00:38:04,280 --> 00:38:06,400
So, as I said, when we got involved and

1057
00:38:06,400 --> 00:38:08,000
we made you aware that the compliance

1058
00:38:08,000 --> 00:38:10,520
were issues, financial was issue. I will

1059
00:38:10,520 --> 00:38:13,640
say some of your um beneficiary your

1060
00:38:13,640 --> 00:38:15,720
your grantees didn't understand they had

1061
00:38:15,720 --> 00:38:17,560
to keep any documentation for whatever

1062
00:38:17,560 --> 00:38:19,200
reason. So, it's it's been a hill to

1063
00:38:19,200 --> 00:38:20,960
climb for some. And some were just

1064
00:38:20,960 --> 00:38:23,720
getting advances up front and with no

1065
00:38:23,720 --> 00:38:25,800
actual expenditure testing or no actual

1066
00:38:25,800 --> 00:38:27,440
documentation being having to be

1067
00:38:27,440 --> 00:38:29,560
submitted. So, if I can go to the next

1068
00:38:29,560 --> 00:38:31,160
slide.

1069
00:38:31,160 --> 00:38:33,960
And I'll try to try to wrap up. Um as I

1070
00:38:33,960 --> 00:38:35,320
said, these are all the things we've

1071
00:38:35,320 --> 00:38:37,080
done to address those issues. You can go

1072
00:38:37,080 --> 00:38:41,030
to the next slide.

1073
00:38:41,040 --> 00:38:43,120
Um I talked about the risk to you, what

1074
00:38:43,120 --> 00:38:44,640
could happen to the county. We're always

1075
00:38:44,640 --> 00:38:46,920
on a audit defensible mode and how our

1076
00:38:46,920 --> 00:38:49,040
act our approaches protected you, giving

1077
00:38:49,040 --> 00:38:50,520
you the best position in training of

1078
00:38:50,520 --> 00:38:52,440
those to mitigate those risks. You can

1079
00:38:52,440 --> 00:38:56,350
go to the next slide.

1080
00:38:56,360 --> 00:38:57,440
I'm going to talk to you about the

1081
00:38:57,440 --> 00:38:59,480
remaining work to be done so you have a

1082
00:38:59,480 --> 00:39:01,360
complete understanding of what has to be

1083
00:39:01,360 --> 00:39:03,520
done between now or really 7/1 and

1084
00:39:03,520 --> 00:39:05,200
4/30/27.

1085
00:39:05,200 --> 00:39:07,280
Keep the next slide and I'll wrap it up.

1086
00:39:07,280 --> 00:39:09,040
We're trying to get to the wrap up. This

1087
00:39:09,040 --> 00:39:10,840
is our work plan so you'll know what we

1088
00:39:10,840 --> 00:39:13,960
plan to work on from now until the um

1089
00:39:13,960 --> 00:39:15,560
April 30th date. We expect to be

1090
00:39:15,560 --> 00:39:18,520
finished March 31st. Next slide. Cuz

1091
00:39:18,520 --> 00:39:20,240
this is an important one.

1092
00:39:20,240 --> 00:39:21,560
Um

1093
00:39:21,560 --> 00:39:23,360
This is our the the um our

1094
00:39:23,360 --> 00:39:25,080
recommendation is to complete these

1095
00:39:25,080 --> 00:39:27,480
projects um and why we're recommending

1096
00:39:27,480 --> 00:39:29,720
approval of this budget. So, that pretty

1097
00:39:29,720 --> 00:39:32,000
much um in the final slide, that pretty

1098
00:39:32,000 --> 00:39:35,440
much um wraps up the request. As you can

1099
00:39:35,440 --> 00:39:36,560
see, there's a lot more detailed

1100
00:39:36,560 --> 00:39:40,360
information in the presentation, but um

1101
00:39:40,360 --> 00:39:41,880
thank you so much for allowing me these

1102
00:39:41,880 --> 00:39:43,880
few minutes to make this presentation.

1103
00:39:43,880 --> 00:39:45,790

Canstanzo. Tell me um

1155
00:40:38,840 --> 00:40:41,240
give me the idea of why this addition is

1156
00:40:41,240 --> 00:40:42,840
necessary

1157
00:40:42,840 --> 00:40:45,560
after we made the the original contract

1158
00:40:45,560 --> 00:40:48,160
and the original procurement of funds.

1159
00:40:48,160 --> 00:40:50,640
Are we seeing an increase? Are we Did we

1160
00:40:50,640 --> 00:40:52,720
not budget enough time? I know that

1161
00:40:52,720 --> 00:40:54,160
we've we've mapped this out to end on

1162
00:40:54,160 --> 00:40:55,800
March 31st, but that would have been a

1163
00:40:55,800 --> 00:40:57,960
known time frame. What are What are your

1164
00:40:57,960 --> 00:41:00,120
thoughts about the increase?

1165
00:41:00,120 --> 00:41:01,510
>> The inc- And as I said in the slide

1166
00:41:01,510 --> 00:41:01,520
» The inc- And as I said in the slide

1167
00:41:01,520 --> 00:41:02,800
earlier on, it was because of the

1168
00:41:02,800 --> 00:41:04,680
quality of your

1169
00:41:04,680 --> 00:41:06,960
the initial determinations and your file

1170
00:41:06,960 --> 00:41:08,960
compliance and what we thought what was

1171
00:41:08,960 --> 00:41:11,720
thought to be in your files. We thought

1172
00:41:11,720 --> 00:41:13,800
even from internally, you all's

1173
00:41:13,800 --> 00:41:15,600
perspective, the determinations were

1174
00:41:15,600 --> 00:41:16,960
questionable.

1175
00:41:16,960 --> 00:41:18,000
Um

1176
00:41:18,000 --> 00:41:19,960
the files were so incomplete. There

1177
00:41:19,960 --> 00:41:22,000
There was no documentation

1178
00:41:22,000 --> 00:41:24,680
as far as just expenditures.

1179
00:41:24,680 --> 00:41:26,400
A lot of your unfortunately, a lot of

1180
00:41:26,400 --> 00:41:28,000
your grantees weren't familiar with

1181
00:41:28,000 --> 00:41:29,720
federal requirements. So, they did the

1182
00:41:29,720 --> 00:41:31,200
best that they could. So, we're doing a

1183
00:41:31,200 --> 00:41:32,880
lot of I I want to say maybe we're

1184
00:41:32,880 --> 00:41:34,960
building some sustainability, too,

1185
00:41:34,960 --> 00:41:37,000
because we're building a capacity,

1186
00:41:37,000 --> 00:41:39,520
because we're building we're

1187
00:41:39,520 --> 00:41:40,960
taking them through the process of

1188
00:41:40,960 --> 00:41:42,760
understanding federal grant requirements

1189
00:41:42,760 --> 00:41:44,520
so they so they can

1190
00:41:44,520 --> 00:41:45,920
you know, comply with this grant. That

1191
00:41:45,920 --> 00:41:47,880
hopefully builds capacity.

1192
00:41:47,880 --> 00:41:48,520
Um

1193
00:41:48,520 --> 00:41:50,600
the level of um reporting that's been

1194
00:41:50,600 --> 00:41:52,840
required as far as just from them and

1195
00:41:52,840 --> 00:41:54,400
understanding and making sure that

1196
00:41:54,400 --> 00:41:56,560
they're in compliance, we could not have

1197
00:41:56,560 --> 00:41:59,120
anticipated that um initially. I will

1198
00:41:59,120 --> 00:42:01,360
say the audits, which are included in I

1199
00:42:01,360 --> 00:42:03,920
am saying is included in that. 350 was

1200
00:42:03,920 --> 00:42:06,640
another unanticipated. We could not have

1201
00:42:06,640 --> 00:42:09,280
have anticipated that those particular

1202
00:42:09,280 --> 00:42:11,920
situations and that level of monitoring.

1203
00:42:11,920 --> 00:42:14,480
Um and so those are the I guess the

1204
00:42:14,480 --> 00:42:17,520
largest contributing factors.

1232
00:43:00,600 --> 00:43:02,160
Good morning to you. Your slides are

1233
00:43:02,160 --> 00:43:03,640
always kind of busy even though they're

1234
00:43:03,640 --> 00:43:05,240
very, very detailed. They're kind of

1235
00:43:05,240 --> 00:43:07,440
busy. I would like a copy of them so

1236
00:43:07,440 --> 00:43:09,640
that I could really try to understand a

1237
00:43:09,640 --> 00:43:11,400
little bit more detail and more thorough

1238
00:43:11,400 --> 00:43:14,840
fashion what uh, you're presenting. I'm

1239
00:43:14,840 --> 00:43:17,080
I'm also concerned

1240
00:43:17,080 --> 00:43:19,080
uh, you mentioned understanding the

1241
00:43:19,080 --> 00:43:20,160
federal grant requirement. I don't think

1242
00:43:20,160 --> 00:43:21,480
we have that luxury built into the

1243
00:43:21,480 --> 00:43:23,720
contract uh, where the recipients or the

1244
00:43:23,720 --> 00:43:25,480
subrecipients uh,

1245
00:43:25,480 --> 00:43:27,840
can take time to understand federal

1246
00:43:27,840 --> 00:43:29,720
grant requirements. That was a part of

1247
00:43:29,720 --> 00:43:32,160
the criteria when they signed uh, the

1248
00:43:32,160 --> 00:43:35,560
contract uh, early on uh, and the level

1249
00:43:35,560 --> 00:43:36,920
of monitoring required. I think we

1250
00:43:36,920 --> 00:43:37,880
should

1251
00:43:37,880 --> 00:43:39,120
we should have already been aware of the

1252
00:43:39,120 --> 00:43:41,560
level of monitoring required uh,

1253
00:43:41,560 --> 00:43:44,640
to make sure that these uh, recipients,

1254
00:43:44,640 --> 00:43:46,880
subrecipients or beneficiary uh, you

1255
00:43:46,880 --> 00:43:48,400
know, were

1256
00:43:48,400 --> 00:43:50,280
they understood what was at stake, uh,

1257
00:43:50,280 --> 00:43:53,160
what their responsibilities uh, were and

1258
00:43:53,160 --> 00:43:55,080
they they should have been been aware of

1259
00:43:55,080 --> 00:43:58,320
that. So, and I I want to know, I'd like

1260
00:43:58,320 --> 00:43:59,680
to have a list of the ones that you've

1280

00:44:24,480 --> 00:44:26,320
as subrecipients, some as beneficiaries,

1282
00:44:26,320 --> 00:44:28,040
and I know I had a lot to say about that

1283
00:44:28,040 --> 00:44:31,360
early on. And so, I am concerned that

1284
00:44:31,360 --> 00:44:34,000
even when we reclassify them, are we

1285
00:44:34,000 --> 00:44:37,240
really sure that we're meeting the

1286
00:44:37,240 --> 00:44:39,200
requirements and that Treasury

1287
00:44:39,200 --> 00:44:41,600
guidelines are being adhered to as we

1288
00:44:41,600 --> 00:44:44,200
attempt to reclassify subrecipients to

1289
00:44:44,200 --> 00:44:46,880
beneficiaries or vice versa.

1290
00:44:46,880 --> 00:44:49,760
So, that really concerns me. And if

1291
00:44:49,760 --> 00:44:52,040
there's additional monies that are

1292
00:44:52,040 --> 00:44:54,960
necessary to be expended to extend the

1293
00:44:54,960 --> 00:44:57,400
time required to monitor these uh

1294
00:44:57,400 --> 00:44:59,280
these recipients, it ought to come out

1295
00:44:59,280 --> 00:45:02,000
of their funding. Uh I'm I'm wondering

1296
00:45:02,000 --> 00:45:04,720
is the $350,000, Miss Walker,

1297
00:45:04,720 --> 00:45:06,200
uh

1298
00:45:06,200 --> 00:45:08,400
part of ARPA monies that we've somehow

1299
00:45:08,400 --> 00:45:10,240
set aside, or would this come out the

1300
00:45:10,240 --> 00:45:12,600

then use some of those funds for

1313

1333
00:45:53,880 --> 00:45:56,080
last spreadsheet. Keep in mind, a lot of

1334
00:45:56,080 --> 00:45:57,480
these recipients got their money up

1335
00:45:57,480 --> 00:46:00,000
front. So, because we gave them money up

1336
00:46:00,000 --> 00:46:01,480
front, we no longer have the money.

1337
00:46:01,480 --> 00:46:03,160
We're trying to get them to comply on

1338
00:46:03,160 --> 00:46:05,120
the back end with funds that they've

1339
00:46:05,120 --> 00:46:07,960
already expended and whether they were

eligible or applicable to Treasury

1341

1342
00:46:12,200 --> 00:46:13,920
received their money, we certainly will

1343
00:46:13,920 --> 00:46:15,840
use that towards if we had to do a

1344
00:46:15,840 --> 00:46:18,720

1355
00:46:31,080 --> 00:46:32,480

00:46:37,840 --> 00:46:39,680
that they didn't have to. So, it's a lot

1363

of misinformation because this has this

1364
00:46:42,240 --> 00:46:43,840
has gone through a lot of hands since

1365
00:46:43,840 --> 00:46:46,600
these funds were given out. So, um I

1366
00:46:46,600 --> 00:46:48,560
confirmed, are you receiving the emails?

1367
00:46:48,560 --> 00:46:50,600

1382
00:47:09,320 --> 00:47:10,960
with the way Booth has monitored this so

1383
00:47:10,960 --> 00:47:12,960
far. Their support has been incredible.

1384
00:47:12,960 --> 00:47:15,400
It has made it audit defensible. I love

1385
00:47:15,400 --> 00:47:19,120
that word. Um but uh there's just a lot

1386
00:47:19,120 --> 00:47:21,240
of money. $11 million in play and then

1387
00:47:21,240 --> 00:47:23,520
another $350,000 payment out of our

1388
00:47:23,520 --> 00:47:26,200
general general fund. Um Doug's got a

1389
00:47:26,200 --> 00:47:27,240
lot of questions. I know he's going to

1390
00:47:27,240 --> 00:47:28,360
ask her as well. So, after that

1391
00:47:28,360 --> 00:47:30,680
conversation, maybe you guys talk and if

1392
00:47:30,680 --> 00:47:33,200
there's a way before our next meeting to

1393
00:47:33,200 --> 00:47:34,200

commission together to discuss or or

1395
00:47:36,080 --> 00:47:37,600

1396
00:47:37,600 --> 00:47:39,560

00:47:51,960 --> 00:47:53,400

1407
00:47:54,880 --> 00:47:56,240

1408

1409
00:47:58,240 --> 00:47:59,600

1410
00:47:59,600 --> 00:48:01,560
half million. So, our larger ticket

1411
00:48:01,560 --> 00:48:03,480
items are in progress. We're just trying

1412
00:48:03,480 --> 00:48:05,800
to get all of the documentation to see

1413
00:48:05,800 --> 00:48:07,560

1414
00:48:07,560 --> 00:48:09,600
funds. But, for the funds that we can,

1415
00:48:09,600 --> 00:48:11,000
certainly we will sit down and comb

1416
00:48:11,000 --> 00:48:12,640
through the spreadsheet.

enter the contract as subrecipients as

1446

1501
00:50:05,840 --> 00:50:07,400
who that is. So,

1502
00:50:07,400 --> 00:50:10,200

00:50:15,440 --> 00:50:15,830

>> Regarding that particular uh item, there

» Regarding that particular uh item, there

1512
00:50:18,120 --> 00:50:20,280
are a number of people here who

1513
00:50:20,280 --> 00:50:22,120
represent volunteer fire departments

1514
00:50:22,120 --> 00:50:24,280
throughout the county. And so, even

1515
00:50:24,280 --> 00:50:26,840
though we are taking it off the agenda,

1516
00:50:26,840 --> 00:50:29,720
uh I think it might be uh

1517
00:50:29,720 --> 00:50:32,320
important that we at least hear from

1518
00:50:32,320 --> 00:50:33,960
them at some point based upon your

1519
00:50:33,960 --> 00:50:36,680
discretion, you know, what uh concerns

1520
00:50:36,680 --> 00:50:39,240
they have about the resolution and how

1521
00:50:39,240 --> 00:50:41,800
the monies are being allocated. I

1522
00:50:41,800 --> 00:50:43,200
understand that there's some concern

1523
00:50:43,200 --> 00:50:46,000
about equity in the allocation. So, if

1524
00:50:46,000 --> 00:50:48,240
you would allow at some point before we

1525
00:50:48,240 --> 00:50:49,280
leave or

1526
00:50:49,280 --> 00:50:50,880
before we adjourn, if they could at

1527
00:50:50,880 --> 00:50:52,400
least have

1528
00:50:52,400 --> 00:50:54,120
an opportunity to express their concern.

1529
00:50:54,120 --> 00:50:55,110
>> Yeah, they

1530
00:50:55,110 --> 00:50:55,120
» Yeah, they

1531
00:50:55,120 --> 00:50:57,480

1533
00:50:59,440 --> 00:51:00,960
Again, it's I don't know if it'll come

1534
00:51:00,960 --> 00:51:03,240
back to us or not, but

1535
00:51:03,240 --> 00:51:04,840
I don't know if it'll ever come back to

1536
00:51:04,840 --> 00:51:05,760
us. So,

1537
00:51:05,760 --> 00:51:07,710
>> Well, just for information and purposes,

1538
00:51:07,710 --> 00:51:07,720

00:51:14,000 --> 00:51:14,640
That'll be good.

1544
00:51:14,640 --> 00:51:15,430

1664
00:53:56,840 --> 00:53:58,120
but they still have to get there

1665
00:53:58,120 --> 00:54:01,360
themselves. So it's going to be always

1666
00:54:01,360 --> 00:54:04,800
any most 90% of your lobbyists firms are

1667

represent

1674
00:54:14,840 --> 00:54:16,600
numerous companies over there and so

1675
00:54:16,600 --> 00:54:17,800

00:55:43,600 --> 00:56:23,550
with that program.

1748
00:56:23,560 --> 00:56:24,520

thank you to our

acting administrator Regina for her work

1761
00:56:41,160 --> 00:56:43,000
and as well as

1762
00:56:43,000 --> 00:56:46,200
Robin and Jennifer as well. We wanted to

1763
00:56:46,200 --> 00:56:49,520
just spend just a short moment to

1764
00:56:49,520 --> 00:56:52,440
give you an update on on the Montgomery

1765
00:56:52,440 --> 00:56:53,760
Thriving

1766
00:56:53,760 --> 00:56:56,600
as it exists today. We are thankful for

1767
00:56:56,600 --> 00:56:58,080
your trust

1768
00:56:58,080 --> 00:57:00,920
in, you know, everybody to get this

1769
00:57:00,920 --> 00:57:04,080
redone. And we were happy with the

1770
00:57:04,080 --> 00:57:06,880
fidelity as which has been done that.

1771
00:57:06,880 --> 00:57:08,560
Next slide, please. I'll go through

1772
00:57:08,560 --> 00:57:10,680
these slides pretty quickly. And as

1773
00:57:10,680 --> 00:57:12,160
always,

1774
00:57:12,160 --> 00:57:14,480
I'm a phone call or a meeting away if we

1775
00:57:14,480 --> 00:57:17,320
need to dig into some of the details

1776
00:57:17,320 --> 00:57:22,590
as you review this presentation. Um,

1777
00:57:22,600 --> 00:57:23,920
One of the things I wanted to mention is

1778
00:57:23,920 --> 00:57:26,040
that the summary of the funding, the

1779
00:57:26,040 --> 00:57:28,360
program was originally at 2.5 million,

1780
00:57:28,360 --> 00:57:31,560
but we were able to out reallocate money

1781
00:57:31,560 --> 00:57:34,480
from other pots. And we actually wind up

1782
00:57:34,480 --> 00:57:37,080
having a baseline of 2.8 million to

1783
00:57:37,080 --> 00:57:40,000
distribute to businesses. Every dollar

1784
00:57:40,000 --> 00:57:41,760
counts and this allowed us to do

1785
00:57:41,760 --> 00:57:43,960
additional 6 to 10

1786
00:57:43,960 --> 00:57:47,000
businesses here. We remain

1787
00:57:47,000 --> 00:57:48,240
We want to continue to remain

1788
00:57:48,240 --> 00:57:49,575
transparent on that but we're thankful

1789
00:57:49,575 --> 00:57:50,400
[clears throat]

1790
00:57:50,400 --> 00:57:51,560
that we were able to serve more

1791
00:57:51,560 --> 00:57:55,750
businesses. Next slide, please.

1792
00:57:55,760 --> 00:57:59,800
To date we have awarded 2.5 We had a

1793
00:57:59,800 --> 00:58:03,160
remaining 279. This was as actually as

1794
00:58:03,160 --> 00:58:06,360
of the 31st. We're pretty much

1795
00:58:06,360 --> 00:58:09,000
at the end

1796
00:58:09,000 --> 00:58:11,600
We're pretty much at the end of the No

1797
00:58:11,600 --> 00:58:12,760
problem.

1798
00:58:12,760 --> 00:58:15,760
At the cycle end we will expend or

1799
00:58:15,760 --> 00:58:17,960
commit all the dollars by the end of

1800
00:58:17,960 --> 00:58:19,000
this week.

1801
00:58:19,000 --> 00:58:21,800
Next slide, please.

1802
00:58:21,800 --> 00:58:24,800
Just to give you an overview, we had 391

1803
00:58:24,800 --> 00:58:28,280
applications received. We processed 279.

1804
00:58:28,280 --> 00:58:31,160
We gave technical assistance 227.

1805
00:58:31,160 --> 00:58:34,080
We had a lot of messages, information.

1806
00:58:34,080 --> 00:58:35,760
We were really

1807
00:58:35,760 --> 00:58:37,280
through all the different kind of

1808
00:58:37,280 --> 00:58:41,040
vehicles in touch with people but really

1809
00:58:41,040 --> 00:58:42,840
got that message through and we were

1810
00:58:42,840 --> 00:58:44,560
thankful for county commission as well

1811
00:58:44,560 --> 00:58:47,160
as city council members who helped us to

1812
00:58:47,160 --> 00:58:50,040
spread the news, get messages,

1813
00:58:50,040 --> 00:58:52,840
send information but were able to give

1814
00:58:52,840 --> 00:58:54,760
those updates as well. Next slide,

1815
00:58:54,760 --> 00:58:57,630
please.

1816
00:58:57,640 --> 00:59:00,160
You notice here that we had 15 million

1817
00:59:00,160 --> 00:59:03,040
dollars in requests for for those

1818
00:59:03,040 --> 00:59:04,680
dollars.

1819
00:59:04,680 --> 00:59:07,800
We were able to process percentage of

1820
00:59:07,800 --> 00:59:10,320
that. 112

1821
00:59:10,320 --> 00:59:13,400
applicants were not processed but you

1822
00:59:13,400 --> 00:59:14,960
can see the awards.

1823
00:59:14,960 --> 00:59:16,000
Uh

1824
00:59:16,000 --> 00:59:18,360
some of the final determinations here

1825
00:59:18,360 --> 00:59:20,000
and I'll get into some of these by

1826
00:59:20,000 --> 00:59:23,720
district and council in the next slide.

1827
00:59:23,720 --> 00:59:33,990
Next slides.

1828
00:59:34,000 --> 00:59:37,240
» Just make sure. Oh, here we have 116

1829
00:59:37,240 --> 00:59:41,360
awarded grants, average of $21,000 here.

1830
00:59:41,360 --> 00:59:44,240
And we're we're 90% probably 95 right

1831
00:59:44,240 --> 00:59:47,640
now percent of the way projected. We are

1832
00:59:47,640 --> 00:59:49,960
the end of this week the funds will

1833
00:59:49,960 --> 00:59:51,400
totally exhaust. We won't get to

1834
00:59:51,400 --> 00:59:54,040
everyone on the list, but it was a first

1835
00:59:54,040 --> 00:59:56,800
come first sort of basis. We did that

1836
00:59:56,800 --> 00:59:57,880
and I'll talk a little bit about the

1837
00:59:57,880 --> 01:00:00,360
process in the next next next slide,

1838
01:00:00,360 --> 01:00:04,830
please.

1839
01:00:04,840 --> 01:00:06,960
So, here you see the award by types.

1840
01:00:06,960 --> 01:00:09,960
Most of the as you see the most of the

1841
01:00:09,960 --> 01:00:11,280
award programs were the capital

1842
01:00:11,280 --> 01:00:12,920
improvements. So, business small

1843
01:00:12,920 --> 01:00:15,560
businesses that were looking to

1844
01:00:15,560 --> 01:00:18,120
improve their

1845
01:00:18,120 --> 01:00:20,120
their business somehow, but we had

1846
01:00:20,120 --> 01:00:22,160
others and other allocations as well

1847
01:00:22,160 --> 01:00:25,000
that took advantage of that. But, really

1848
01:00:25,000 --> 01:00:27,040
happy about how that went and how how it

1849
01:00:27,040 --> 01:00:28,480
helped small businesses. Next slide,

1850
01:00:28,480 --> 01:00:32,030
please.

1851
01:00:32,040 --> 01:00:33,640
Here you look at the the county

1852
01:00:33,640 --> 01:00:36,720
districts. This is a breakdown of where

1853
01:00:36,720 --> 01:00:39,840
things went. Uh

1854
01:00:39,840 --> 01:00:44,320
District 4 having the most, but

1855
01:00:44,320 --> 01:00:46,640
kind of everybody got touched across the

1856
01:00:46,640 --> 01:00:49,280
board here in in in in the different

1857
01:00:49,280 --> 01:00:52,160
categories that we that you see for

1858
01:00:52,160 --> 01:00:53,640
those areas.

1859
01:00:53,640 --> 01:00:56,590
Next slide, please.

1860
01:00:56,600 --> 01:00:59,080
So, wanted to talk this a little bit

1861
01:00:59,080 --> 01:01:00,880
briefly about the

1862
01:01:00,880 --> 01:01:02,880
grant execution agreement. This was

1863
01:01:02,880 --> 01:01:06,190
definitely a

1864
01:01:06,200 --> 01:01:08,160
Go back to the other slide. There, thank

1865
01:01:08,160 --> 01:01:09,000
you.

1866
01:01:09,000 --> 01:01:11,160
This is definitely a kind of partnership

1867
01:01:11,160 --> 01:01:14,040
between the county city

1868
01:01:14,040 --> 01:01:16,560
as well as what being the management of

1869
01:01:16,560 --> 01:01:18,160
Booth Management.

1870
01:01:18,160 --> 01:01:21,360
This process kind of was fully there.

1871
01:01:21,360 --> 01:01:23,800
We participated in weekly sessions uh

1872
01:01:23,800 --> 01:01:26,080
with the county and the city and Booth

1873
01:01:26,080 --> 01:01:27,880
Management. We met every week. We

1874
01:01:27,880 --> 01:01:30,240
discussed uh kind of the grant uh

1875
01:01:30,240 --> 01:01:32,840
execution. Uh they were they were

1876
01:01:32,840 --> 01:01:36,080
electronic signatures. Uh fully executed

1877
01:01:36,080 --> 01:01:38,320
uh copies were returned. Um and then

1878
01:01:38,320 --> 01:01:39,880
we're transitioning to the reimbursement

1879
01:01:39,880 --> 01:01:42,400
phase now. And so, really uh

1880
01:01:42,400 --> 01:01:44,200
collaborative um

1881
01:01:44,200 --> 01:01:45,040
uh

1882
01:01:45,040 --> 01:01:49,750
way that we we approached this.

1883
01:01:49,760 --> 01:01:52,000
As you see uh here on this slide, I

1884
01:01:52,000 --> 01:01:54,720
wanted us to mention that we are we have

1885
01:01:54,720 --> 01:01:56,440
the disbursements. We're starting to

1886
01:01:56,440 --> 01:01:58,720
that 312,000

1887
01:01:58,720 --> 01:02:00,400
uh is actually higher now, but that's

1888
01:02:00,400 --> 01:02:03,080
the total amount uh finally approved.

1889
01:02:03,080 --> 01:02:05,040
So, once they get a uh conditionally

1890
01:02:05,040 --> 01:02:09,120
approved, uh we they go through the our

1891
01:02:09,120 --> 01:02:11,160
businesses have to return their process.

1892
01:02:11,160 --> 01:02:12,720
They have a process that they have to

1893
01:02:12,720 --> 01:02:16,040
do, watch videos, and other things. And

1894
01:02:16,040 --> 01:02:17,960
so, that that amount that's been

1895
01:02:17,960 --> 01:02:19,960
released because they've finished those

1896
01:02:19,960 --> 01:02:22,440
things. Those This uh we expect this one

1897
01:02:22,440 --> 01:02:25,000
to go up because we're at now at this

1898
01:02:25,000 --> 01:02:27,800
portion of the phase. So, we expect by

1899
01:02:27,800 --> 01:02:29,680
the end of the month that this would be

1900
01:02:29,680 --> 01:02:33,830
80 80%.

1901
01:02:33,840 --> 01:02:36,360
Uh this this request was funding type.

1902
01:02:36,360 --> 01:02:38,120
Uh this what you want to know is that we

1903
01:02:38,120 --> 01:02:40,960
had a assessment that uh Booth

1904
01:02:40,960 --> 01:02:43,800
Management has set up for us. Uh and

1905
01:02:43,800 --> 01:02:45,000
there were two things. There was

1906
01:02:45,000 --> 01:02:46,960
advanced uh if there was a low risk,

1907
01:02:46,960 --> 01:02:49,160
there was a risk uh profile that

1908
01:02:49,160 --> 01:02:51,840
everyone got. And if there was depending

1909
01:02:51,840 --> 01:02:54,680
on what type you were in, uh there was a

1910
01:02:54,680 --> 01:02:56,960
advanced uh that's given um at a

1911
01:02:56,960 --> 01:02:59,040
percentage. But also, uh there were

1912
01:02:59,040 --> 01:03:00,800
retroactive uh

1913
01:03:00,800 --> 01:03:02,520
grants as well. So, if they were higher

1914
01:03:02,520 --> 01:03:04,000
risk, uh they were included in the

1915
01:03:04,000 --> 01:03:06,240
budget. They had to show certain things.

1916
01:03:06,240 --> 01:03:07,880
Um and then the those payments were done

1917
01:03:07,880 --> 01:03:10,640
on a reimbursement basis based upon risk

1918
01:03:10,640 --> 01:03:13,280
and other factors. Next slide.

1919
01:03:13,280 --> 01:03:15,040
Uh just want to just these are some I

1920
01:03:15,040 --> 01:03:17,080
won't go into this. Uh these are some of

1921
01:03:17,080 --> 01:03:20,040
the requirements uh that went into the

1922
01:03:20,040 --> 01:03:22,320
risk factors here.

1923
01:03:22,320 --> 01:03:24,480
The award amount, the years of business,

1924
01:03:24,480 --> 01:03:27,760
and other criterias that I can

1925
01:03:27,760 --> 01:03:30,000
get into at a later time.

1926
01:03:30,000 --> 01:03:31,590
>> Yeah, Frank, we running a little bit

1927
01:03:31,590 --> 01:03:31,600

1945
01:03:53,000 --> 01:03:55,680
I know that was a something that

1946
01:03:55,680 --> 01:03:57,720
some of the commissions asked for.

1947
01:03:57,720 --> 01:04:00,520
We were able to go above the 2.5. We're

1948
01:04:00,520 --> 01:04:02,240

fair, accurate, audit defensible,

1952
01:04:09,640 --> 01:04:11,880
