[0:00] You've been in
[0:01] Morgan County, both of you, too.
[0:09] » Sorry, that was really jumbled. Can you
[0:10] say that again?
[0:12] >> Oh, no problem. Is my
[0:14] audio okay for everybody?
[0:18] » It's okay for me.
[0:20] >> Okay. Okay. I know sometimes, cuz I have
[0:22] to connect my my speakers to my
[0:24] headphones and microphones, sometimes
[0:26] they don't play well together, so.
[0:29] Okay.
[0:31] Thank you, everyone, for coming.
[0:34] Um
[0:36] We um if you know as you may notice on
[0:39] the agenda, we'll talk about our meeting
[0:40] schedule a little bit later. We've had
[0:42] some conversations in the past about
[0:44] maybe finding a time that works is a
[0:46] little more convenient for people.
[0:48] Um
[0:49] so, we'll talk about that later, but
[0:50] thank you all for making this time work.
[0:53] Um
[0:54] first on our agenda, we have minutes
[0:57] from May and February.
[0:59] Um
[1:00] for our our our C
[1:03] meetings in those months. Does anyone
[1:05] have any questions or comments about
[1:07] those or would like to make a motion?
[1:15] » Move to approve those meet meeting
[1:16] minutes.
[1:20] » Great. For for for both?
[1:22] >> Yep.
[1:24] >> Great.
[1:27] Do I have a second?
[1:33] » Sorry, I had to find my mute. I'll
[1:35] second.
[1:37] >> No worries. Thank you.
[1:42] Hm.
[1:43] I'm just going to very quickly make sure
[1:46] that Mayor Olsen
[1:48] isn't
[1:49] in my foyer right now. So, I apologize.
[2:22] » Apologies. I thought I heard the bell
[2:23] which means no one's upstairs. So I just
[2:25] wanted to make sure he's not
[2:27] um in there. Okay. Thank you very much
[2:29] for approving those minutes.
[2:31] Next on our agenda, we have review and
[2:34] approve updates to the rating and
[2:35] ranking policies and procedures.
[2:37] As a reminder, this is the email that I
[2:39] had sent kind of outlining the changes
[2:42] that we had discussed um and asking if
[2:44] anyone had any
[2:46] comments or additional items they wanted
[2:48] to discuss.
[2:49] Um I didn't get any additional comments
[2:51] and it it sounded like everyone I heard
[2:53] from was okay with those, but um we need
[2:55] to take an official action and I just
[2:57] wanted to make sure
[2:58] um everyone had a chance to see those
[3:00] and see if there was any additional
[3:01] questions.
[3:15] Not hearing any.
[3:19] Does anyone want to make a motion?
[3:25] » I'll make a motion.
[3:25] >> Quickly before we do that, I'll
[3:27] Oh, okay, great. All right, never mind
[3:29] everyone. No, no, no. That's okay. Just
[3:31] going to remind everyone that the about
[3:33] the changes that we made just
[3:35] um because that email was a while ago.
[3:38] Um the change that we made was that
[3:40] um if someone applies for a multi-year
[3:42] grant for example, Fern did this year,
[3:45] if they are not able to get their full
[3:47] first year of requested funding in the
[3:50] second year, we'll make their
[3:51] application whole. So that was the
[3:53] change that or it wasn't a change
[3:54] necessarily, just a clarification that
[3:56] we made in there. Um
[3:59] For Stephanie, thank you for
[4:03] your first. Does anyone want to make a
[4:06] second?
[4:07] >> I'll second that.
[4:09] >> Great. Thank you.
[4:12] Um all in favor?
[4:13] >> I.
[4:17] » Thank you. Thank you.
[4:19] Um okay. So, each year
[4:23] the first required steps for people who
[4:25] would like to apply to CDBG is to attend
[4:28] the how to apply workshop.
[4:30] Um and W 43 we typically host that um in
[4:34] the beginning of October
[4:37] or beginning in October. I guess I
[4:39] shouldn't specify beginning. It does
[4:41] depend on when the state is available to
[4:43] attend that.
[4:45] So, this year they have told me
[4:51] that they can make it work on
[4:55] October 15th. That is a Thursday at
[4:57] 3:00.
[4:59] Um I just wanted to you know
[5:03] let you guys know that's tentative
[5:04] tentatively the date that we've
[5:07] scheduled that for. I haven't advertised
[5:10] it or anything or anything yet. I wanted
[5:11] to talk to you guys and just
[5:13] see, you know, are there big things
[5:15] happening like in your counties that
[5:16] would prevent people from
[5:20] attending that date?
[5:22] Any big conflicts
[5:24] to be aware of before we go ahead and
[5:26] advertise that date.
[5:28] And again, that was 3:00 on October
[5:31] 15th.
[5:39] » Yeah, I'm fine.
[5:42] >> Okay.
[5:44] Great. Well, then I will
[5:48] um start advertising that. I'll send a
[5:52] flyer with all the information to this
[5:53] group as well, so that
[5:55] you guys are able to to share that um
[5:59] through your channels to to make sure it
[6:00] reaches as many people as possible.
[6:05] Okay.
[6:07] We are flying through. Last but not
[6:09] least, our schedule.
[6:12] Um
[6:13] Some people had expressed that Thursdays
[6:16] might be a little bit easier for them to
[6:17] attend than Tuesdays.
[6:19] Um
[6:22] as always, up for discussion is, you
[6:25] know, if we want to meet somewhere else,
[6:26] if the hybrid format is working, we want
[6:29] to explore other options.
[6:32] Um but but
[6:35] primarily, you know, I just
[6:37] want to ensure that we can always at
[6:40] least get a quorum for our meetings. Um
[6:43] and so um
[6:45] if Tuesdays at noon are hard for people,
[6:47] I'm happy to
[6:50] look at you know, changing that. And And
[6:52] we don't necessarily have to
[6:55] stay So, right now in our bylaws, it
[6:57] actually says the third Tuesday of, you
[7:01] know, February, May, August, November.
[7:03] Um
[7:05] So, it's very specific. So, if we want
[7:08] to maybe make it more broad, we can do
[7:10] that. Um and just, you know, at the end
[7:14] of each meeting, look for a date or, you
[7:16] know, like a couple weeks out, I can
[7:18] send a Doodle or something like that,
[7:20] but um yeah, what are your thoughts, all
[7:23] of you, on Tuesday the third Tuesday at
[7:25] noon?
[7:26] >> So, Tuesday at 10:00 is our commission
[7:29] meeting each week.
[7:32] And I can't be out of the office on
[7:34] Tuesdays.
[7:36] So, if I I we can I I can like today
[7:40] um they're doing their meeting in the
[7:42] evening, which is really, really rare.
[7:44] Um, but I mean, I can I can zoom in. I
[7:48] just wouldn't be able to leave.
[7:55] And and
[7:55] >> Okay.
[7:56] >> If we can keep the
[7:58] hybrid option, I think that would be
[8:00] best cuz a lot of us like my day is
[8:03] back-to-back meetings normally. Like or
[8:06] I'm at the capital or yeah. So, or I'm
[8:09] doing
[8:10] >> Okay. And it is a long drive.
[8:12] >> I don't
[8:12] exactly and I don't have a I don't have
[8:15] a uh
[8:17] a regular schedule for what I do cuz I'm
[8:20] I do all the account development and
[8:22] government relations. So, I can be
[8:23] anywhere at any given time. So, if I
[8:25] have a zoom option, that's great.
[8:29] And I know it's only four times a year,
[8:30] so you know.
[8:32] >> [laughter]
[8:33] >> What What time is your commission
[8:35] meeting?
[8:37] >> Um, our commission meeting starts at
[8:38] 10:00, but it it sometimes it's over at
[8:40] 10:15, sometimes it's over at noon. Just
[8:43] depends on the agenda.
[8:44] >> Yeah.
[8:48] Maybe 1:00 would work better than a noon
[8:50] if we did it on Tuesday.
[8:52] >> Yeah, absolutely.
[8:54] >> I like the Tuesday option. That works
[8:55] best for me.
[8:57] >> Yeah, I could do 1:00 for sure.
[9:01] >> Let's do Tuesdays at 1:00.
[9:03] And let's do the zoom option. I think
[9:06] the zoom option we're so spread out,
[9:08] honestly, you know.
[9:10] Morgan, Weaver, Twilla.
[9:12] Uh, I think
[9:15] you know, if if you have a real long
[9:18] agenda and you have some
[9:20] a lot of stuff we have to go over,
[9:21] Christie, that's you know,
[9:24] really intense, yeah, you know, over and over, maybe we need to get
[9:28] together in person, but I think
[9:31] you know,
[9:31] >> Yeah.
[9:33] >> As long as we
[9:34] >> Maybe we It's not It's not worth Yeah,
[9:36] it's kind of a struggle for me to drive
[9:38] 45 minutes to an hour to Salt Lake there
[9:41] and back for a 30-minute meeting. That's
[9:45] for sure.
[9:46] >> Well, Christy always provides a good
[9:48] lunch.
[9:50] >> [laughter]
[9:50] >> Well, there's that.
[9:51] >> Not about you guys out there.
[9:54] >> If Mayor Olsen needs his lunch, he can
[9:57] come to the county building and watch
[9:59] the zoom with me and I'll provide him a
[10:00] sandwich.
[10:01] >> There you go, Rachel.
[10:02] >> Hey, wow. [laughter]
[10:04] >> Very generous
[10:07] >> I know. What if So, can I drive up to
[10:09] the Coola Coola County building for
[10:11] lunch or is that not okay?
[10:14] Um
[10:15] if 1:00 sounds
[10:18] better for people, that works perfectly
[10:20] fine for me. Hey, is one okay with you?
[10:24] >> Yeah, it's fine. The hard part is like
[10:27] I guess the hard positive is Warren
[10:30] County's too wealthy and we'll never
[10:31] qualify for CD money.
[10:35] >> I know. I know. You guys have had some
[10:37] creative projects that have done well.
[10:40] >> Warren County representative, the grant
[10:42] we'll never qualify for. So.
[10:45] >> Well, we don't
[10:47] Hey, we don't qualify for rural.
[10:50] >> Yeah, rural but with like
[10:52] >> My whole project area is rural
[10:55] and I can't qualify for anything rural.
[10:58] >> Well, Morgan was poor until Kate moved
[11:00] in.
[11:01] >> No, yeah.
[11:03] >> Wow.
[11:04] >> You didn't [laughter] know I live in a
[11:05] van down by the river, right?
[11:08] >> No, you just live in that office. That's
[11:10] [laughter] what you do.
[11:10] >> That's true.
[11:12] Uh, I just need a shower and then I
[11:13] won't even need a van.
[11:15] >> Oh, shoot.
[11:17] >> Tom comes in on Thursdays. He works My
[11:19] assistant to the county manager comes in
[11:21] on Thursday so he can have air
[11:22] conditioning.
[11:24] >> [laughter]
[11:27] » Aw.
[11:28] >> Okay.
[11:31] Great. Well, that
[11:33] um is helpful. Hopefully we can that's
[11:35] easier for everyone to attend. Um so you
[11:38] don't have to reschedule meetings kind
[11:40] of at the last minute. So that is great.
[11:42] I will update the bylaws. We'll have to
[11:44] take action on that
[11:46] at our next meeting. Um just as a side
[11:49] note, we typically cancel our November
[11:52] meeting. There's not a lot to talk
[11:53] about, you know, it's before the
[11:56] you know, we have any applications
[11:57] turned in. It's after we've updated our
[11:59] policies and procedures. So there's not
[12:01] a ton discussing November. So um
[12:05] expect that that will likely be
[12:06] canceled. Um which means
[12:10] we won't meet again until February.
[12:12] Which is crazy, so far from now. Um
[12:15] >> Are we expecting
[12:16] >> But if you have anything in the interim,
[12:17] feel free to reach out. I'm sorry, what
[12:19] was that?
[12:20] >> Are we expecting applications for review
[12:22] in November?
[12:24] >> So the um how to apply workshop takes
[12:27] place in October and then the first
[12:31] like initial application deadline is
[12:34] January 31st. So we don't
[12:37] uh look at anything until February.
[12:43] » So Christie, what were the our meeting
[12:45] months again? Once again.
[12:48] >> Yeah, February, May, August, November.
[12:53] >> Thank you.
[12:54] >> Mhm.
[12:58] » Okay, Christie, I want to
[13:00] clarify or verify how to apply workshop
[13:03] October 15th,
[13:06] 3:00.
[13:08] >> Correct.
[13:08] >> And at your office.
[13:11] >> Yes, we'll also provide a Zoom link.
[13:14] >> And you will provide a Zoom link also.
[13:17] Okay.
[13:17] >> Mhm. We typically don't put the Zoom
[13:19] link on the flyer
[13:21] um
[13:22] because if they are, you know, going to
[13:23] be posted up and around one and two, we
[13:26] strongly encourage people to come in
[13:28] person.
[13:30] >> Okay.
[13:30] >> However, you know, when So, when they
[13:32] RSVP and they let me know they're going
[13:34] to attend virtually,
[13:36] I'll point them in the direction and the
[13:38] Zoom link will also be posted on the
[13:40] Easttown Public Library website.
[13:42] And on our website, but the flyer that
[13:43] is going to be like hung up on walls, I
[13:46] typically don't put the Zoom information
[13:47] on that.
[13:47] >> Okay. How long does that usually last?
[13:49] Is that a 1-hour or 2-hour?
[13:52] >> It's typically an hour.
[13:53] >> Okay.
[13:55] All right.
[13:55] >> Mark, probably want to put that on the
[13:57] WICOG agenda.
[13:59] >> Yeah.
[14:00] that's a good idea.
[14:03] Okay.
[14:04] I will
[14:05] I'll do that.
[14:08] » Great, and then I'll get that flyer to
[14:10] you as soon as I can.
[14:11] >> Okay.
[14:13] >> Hey, I can never remember, I'm sorry, if
[14:16] we need a motion to adjourn or not.
[14:18] >> Probably.
[14:19] >> Okay, [laughter]
[14:21] anyone want to do that?
[14:23] >> Sure.
[14:24] Stephanie, it's yours.
[14:26] >> Motion to adjourn.
[14:28] >> Second.
[14:30] » Okay, great.
[14:33] All right.
[14:36] Thank you all so much, and if you have
[14:38] any questions or anything, feel free to
[14:40] reach out. Otherwise, I'll send you some
[14:42] more information and we will plan to
[14:44] talk at the beginning of the year.
[14:46] >> Awesome.
[14:47] >> Thanks for your help.
[14:48] >> Cool.
[14:49] >> Okay. Thank you.
[14:50] >> Thank you.
[14:51] >> Have a good one.
[14:53] >> Bye.
