She said there is so little reentry housing, and this is a more unique 37 organization. She said the requested money is for the rent, and the program plans for 38 its residents to be working and paying rent. She said this is start up funding. 39 Commissioner Price said the BOCC had an unofficial agreement to follow the 40 Manager's guidance. She said she supports the program, but her concern is the 41 $20,000 for a start up. She said she would like some sort of partnership for a year, to 42 insure it is sustainable. 43 Bonnie Hammersley said the outside agencies process was a little different this 44 year, and did not follow the typical formula. She said no new agencies were awarded 45 funding. She said if the Board approves this amendment, the program would have to 46 follow all outside agencies' processes and procedures. 47 Commissioner Price said she does not want it to look like the BOCC is giving 48 preferential treatment. She said perhaps the County could be more hands on in the 49 management of the funding, and this should be more of a partnership, as opposed to a 50 typical outside agency. 51 Chair Rich said she agreed with Commissioner Price, and does not want to give 52 funding to those who lobbied the BOCC, when others did not know that doing so was 53 even a possibility.
