He noted that Chairman O’Brien would be absent from the discussion as he was not participating in funding decisions relating to HopeSource due to any potential conflicts of interest. Commissioner Jewell stated that the Board had previously met on 12/19/2016 to consider the proposal from HopeSource. He explained that at the conclusion of the meeting the Board wanted to take some additional time to consider the proposal and allow the Homelessness and Affordable Housing Committee time to provide feedback. Commissioner Osiadacz read an e-mail from Nancy Goodloe, Homelessness & Affordable Housing Committee member who indicated she had no comments. At the time of the meeting she needed additional information about the Vouchers referenced in the document since she didn’t remember them being in the first proposal, however John Raymond, COO HopeSource had clarified the information for her. Ms. Goodloe also indicated that Mr. Raymond assured her that it was the first proposal and the vouchers are for eligible disabled homeless persons and that they are good for 20 years. Commissioner Jewell stated that the proposal is before the Board and questioned if Commissioner Osiadacz had any comments and asked the public if there was anyone wanting to speak. Commissioner Osiadacz stated she did not have anything to add at this time.
