changes should reduce questions and bias. The <br /> motion carried without dissent. <br /> 6.Waitlist Prioritization. Rosser reviewed the <br /> previous draft of the preference ratings. At this <br /> time there are approximately 160 applicants on <br /> the waitlist. There was some recategorization to <br /> ensure the most vulnerable get <br /> referred. Categories for amount of time on the <br /> waitlist and Orange County residency were <br /> proposed as well as the weighted <br /> ratings. Hudson made a motion to approve the <br /> preference categories as presented, but <br /> specifying that "time on waitlist" would be a <br /> tiebreaker; McCalla seconded. Discussion <br /> included how applicants may be in more than <br /> one category which increases their priority; <br /> flexible needs; and applicants who are receiving <br /> other services from other agencies. Also, how <br /> approval does not have to be final and can be <br /> changed if Board notices it is not working as <br /> intended. Motion carried without dissent. <br /> 7.Adjournment. Murdock-Doherty made a motion <br /> to close the meeting at 6:59pm; Weatherly- <br /> Rosner seconded. Motion carried without <br /> dissent. The next meeting will be August 15, <br /> 2024 (virtual). <br /> [Type here] <br />
