Hammersley requests to record.The information will be taken to Orange <br /> County Commissioners working session in September to support the next RFP for$S million. Purpose is <br /> to document the feedback and ensure a better process for next time. <br /> Blake to guide the discussion—there was a screen shot of the feedback form to support the feedback <br /> process. <br /> Lynn: Did you receive our feedback? <br /> Hammersley: Only received two. <br /> Lynn: Process was very cumbersome, not user-friendly, which made it difficult to participate.The <br /> request did not have a consistent format for the responses; it would be easier if there was a consistent <br /> reporting mechanism so that she does not have to sift through reams of data. Hesitated answering <br /> qualitative questions or questions outside of her expertise. She would like to see more emphasis on <br /> quantifying sustainability and knowing to what extent the projects actually support affordable housing. <br />
