15 1 interest. She said that when she had an earlier conversation with the manager about this topic, 2 she thought that this amount would be awarded through the county manager's process. She 3 said #2 seems that the BOCC can amend the manager's allocation. She said she is not in 4 support of option #1 and that she is fine with option 2. 5 Commissioner Greene said she understood Commissioner Bedford was concerned 6 about timing, but that she did not think it would be a significant issue. 7 Commissioner Fowler asked if they would know the specific allocations on the date of 8 adoption. 9 Bonnie Hammersley said they will know because it will be listed in the budget. She said 10 the reason they have changed it to a grant system is because it was so political. She said this 11 will take the politics out. She said advisory boards appreciate that the county is taking their input 12 on the applications. 13 Commissioner Richards said that if she understands how decisions are made, she feels 14 a little more comfortable. She said she feels that as a representative of the county she needs to 15 understand the reasoning. 16 Bonnie Hammersley said that each application is ranked and there is information at the 17 end of each application explaining the ranking. She said that some advisory boards rank 18 differently. She said she met with all fifty-eight outside agencies and she has told them all will 19 know their funding as of May 3. She said if they have any questions, they can contact staff to 20 find out why funding was provided. 21 Chair Price asked if Bonnie Hammersley could provide the scoring sheet. 22 Bonnie Hammersley said yes and that is part of the work session. 23 Commissioner Richards said that Community Home Trust is contracted to provide 24 services on behalf of the county, but they have little or no influence over how they deliver that 25 service. 26 Bonnie Hammersley said that Community Home Trust is different because all the local 27 governments have signed an interlocal agreement that they will pay a certain amount of funding 28 to the agency. She said they are part of the outside agency funding, but Community Home 29 Trust does not have to apply. She said that other outside agencies are required to follow 30 performance measures as they submit in their application and that is reviewed by department 31 directors. She said they get paid quarterly only if they submit their information on performance 32 measures. 33 Commissioner Richards asked if there are performance measures in the interlocal 34 agreement for Community Home Trust. 35 Bonnie Hammersley said yes. 36 Commissioner Fowler clarified that Community Home Trust does not have a ranking in 37 the outside agency process but is included in the 1.2% of funding. 38 Commissioner McKee said he supported option 2, but he was still going to resign from 39 the Community Home Trust board. He said that it is clearer that there is no conflict of interest 40 by resigning. He said the process for outside agency funding is better now, and it is clearer how 41 we get to the allocation for outside agency funding. He said option 2 gets the county further to a 42 clean process. 43 Chair Price asked if Community Home Trust requires that elected officials sit on the 44 board. 45 John Roberts said he thought it was in their bylaws, but the bylaws will have to be 46 changed. 47 Commissioner Bedford thought maybe it could be changed to have a staff representative 48 rather than an elected official. 49 Chair Price asked if there is a consensus for option 2 so it can be placed on the agenda 50 at the business meeting.
