<br /> <br />• Habitat-process <br />• Lender-process <br />The group discussed the previous application that Habitat for Humanities has applied for and was <br />awarded funding from the County through our Homelessness and Affordable Housing Committee <br />(HAHC). The funds helped them create housing opportunities for those in need in our community and <br />discussed the future HAHC funds and discussion about how these can be leveraged or prioritized in <br />different ways to support these efforts. <br /> <br />Environmental Heath Permit Volume Review <br />Chelsey Loeffers noted that due to the recent decline in building and development in Kittitas County <br />there is concern around permit volume and related environmental health revenue. Public health tracks <br />annual permits, inspections, and license volume data. The data is reviewed annually and based on the <br />immediate past year and five-year comparison, data permit volumes for building and development <br />related activities have decreased over time, but are stabilized by consistency in the food, solid waste, <br />and living environment programs. The health department uses multiple data points in determining <br />estimates annual volume for fee modeling and staffing needs. Reduction in volume over five years has <br />been slow and there are some increases in several key areas. The department will continue to closely <br />monitor permit and inspection volumes. <br /> <br />Health Officer Update <br />No Health Officer update this month. <br /> <br />Other <br />The board discussed Hopesource contract and a conflict of interest with a subcontractor. The county is <br />working with Hopesource and will be updating the County Agreement for Service to add a conflict-of- <br />interest section for future purposes. <br />Brett Wachsmith discussed quorum issues in the Behavioral Health Committee meeting due to members <br />resigning or being unable to attend meetings for personal reasons. The group discussed possible <br />solutions until the group can work on how to address the issue. <br /> <br />Meeting concluded at 11:04 am <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />___________________________________ <br /> BOCC Chair <br /> <br /> ___________________________________ <br /> Candi Blackford, Clerk
