She said there is so little reentry housing, and this is a more unique 36 organization. She said the requested money is for the rent, and the program plans for 37 its residents to be working and paying rent. She said this is start up funding. 38 Commissioner Price said the BOCC had an unofficial agreement to follow the 39 Manager’s guidance. She said she supports the program, but her concern is the 40 $20,000 for a start up. She said she would like some sort of partnership for a year, to 41 insure it is sustainable. 42 Bonnie Hammersley said the outside agencies process was a little different this 43 year, and did not follow the typical formula. She said no new agencies were awarded 44 funding. She said if the Board approves this amendment, the program would have to 45 follow all outside agencies’ processes and procedures. 46 Commissioner Price said she does not want it to look like the BOCC is giving 47 preferential treatment. She said perhaps the County could be more hands on in the 48 management of the funding, and this should be more of a partnership, as opposed to a 49 typical outside agency. 50 Chair Rich said she agreed with Commissioner Price, and does not want to give 51 funding to those who lobbied the BOCC, when others did not know that doing so was 52 even a possibility. 53 6
