He said this would model the Partnership to End <br />Homelessness (PTEH) coordinator position. He said there are projects and events that this <br />staff person would coordinate. <br />Commissioner Price asked if there is a specific goal since the Council does not provide <br />direct services to the population. <br />Commissioner Rich said the food council does not provide food, but has two different <br />groups that are currently meeting: an economic development group and a group of food <br />providers. She said the Coordinator would coordinate monthly meetings of the providers at the <br />Rogers Road Community Center. She said this allows the efforts of food provision to be <br />coordinated to eliminate duplication of services, and also allows food to be spread out as far as <br />possible, to serve as many people as possible. She said there is no way to know this <br />information without a coordinating effort. She said the economic development portion comes <br />from the farmers, and the coordinator will work with the farmers and suppliers to get food to <br />other markets, such as schools, for example.
