1:57:36Thank you. Get a motion and a second. All those in favor say aye. Aye. Aye. Motion passed. Thank you. Thank

1:57:44you. And Mr.

1:57:45Chairman Mari the clerk reminded me of something. The supplemental cares appropriation that the Congress and the President signed right around the Christmas holidays. included another allocation for specifically for rental and mortgage assistance that will be direct distributed to counties. We applied for that. Uh we've not received the money yet, but you will see an agenda item on the next board meeting to accept that. We're estimating that's gonna be in the range of about fifteen million dollars.

1:58:15One five or five up.

1:58:16One five. Uh but we're not sure because the numbers haven't been worked out yet and Treasury hadn't posted the actual numbers for each jurisdiction. So we've applied for that. You'll see that in front of you. It's specific to rental and mortgage, a little more strings attached than in our program, but we're working through that to get that set back up to do that. And as the clerk mentioned, our team of the year was a CARES team. Uh Mr. Todd Kirsey, who's on the line today, was the employee of the year, a team member of the year, and then Tambri Lane, who

1:58:47that you're all familiar with, was the leader of the year. So that's all I had. Sorry. Congratulations. Meeting with a good note, one of the good notes. Thank you.

1:58:55Okay. One comment on that cure's money. Uh so I the uh government did extend the deadline for um us to spend the money. So you know we were in this rush to just in case for December 31st, but they did give us an extension to December 31st of 2021, correct?

1:59:15That is correct. Um you know unfortunately we got that extension three days before we were supposed to be a hundred percent executed and so we were a hundred percent executed. Our nonprofits that didn't spend all their money have we've extended the date now so they can continue to work on those issues into the new year. But the cares money was expense because we were supposed to be

1:59:36Yeah.

1:59:36A hundred percent expensed on the thirtieth of December. And when you extend my deadline two days before that, well I'm Sorry, we're already gonna be expensive that point.

1:59:44Yeah, that was another um unfortunate rollout.

1:59:50Mr. Chairman, are you Mr. Are you gonna bring up the letter that um Senator Pasano sent to us?

1:59:59Uh I've asked for um For a comment from the attorney's office based on that.

2:00:06To get

2:00:06that answer back before I move forward.

2:00:08Okay. Yeah. Okay. I just I know we were all copy on letters. I didn't know if it was coming up today. Yeah.
