Commissioner Fowler said that the review being harsher by certain departments might be something that the board would want to amend. Bonnie Hammersley said that in those areas, she sees a greater need. She said that is why those departments review more strictly because the level of service provision is critical.

John Roberts said that the elected officials serving on the Community Home Trust board are appointed by the local governments and serve as public representatives.
