Lynda, I think April 15 is your meeting.  See Beckie’s request below.

 

FYI – I just learned that on April 15^th the hope is the agenda item is after 10:30 – is that possible?

 

 

After 10:30 would be better because of the Coalition for Homeless Families meeting, but if needed I can ask someone else to facilitate the Coalition meeting. Thanks again Beckie!

 

 

You can definitely confirm it will be on the board calendar on 4/15, sometime between 9:30 and noon.  I’ll get you a time certain as soon as I get it from the board clerk.  Thank you!

 

 

I know that Mary Li wants to speak, and I do as well. The other partners are Kate Lore, First Unitarian Church, Brandi Tuck, Portland Homeless Family Solutions, Emily Berndt, 211info,Mary Li, Multnomah County Department of County Human Services, and Edith Murillo from Human Solutions. I don’t want to bog things down too much with too many speakers, so between now and then I will work with Mary Li to figure it out.

Thanks so much for your help with this. Should I wait for a confirmation from you or can I put this out to Mary and the other partners now?

 

Erika – Will you please review the attachment, add the speakers, and I will submit this to Deb Bogstad for the April 15^th meeting?

 

Thank you!

 

 

 

Well, I just got word that two of our partners can’t be there plus it’s the statewide homeless partner meeting. What about the week before? If not we can make it work for the 22^nd. No worries.

 

 

Erika – 22^nd it is.  I will get a time certain for you as soon as I submit the attached – please review and make any additions or changes – especially on presenters if there are going to be more people than you.  It’s preferable to send presentation materials by the Wednesday at noon prior to the Board meeting so the Clerk can get copies in the board packet.  If you bring them the day of, just make 6 copies – one for each Commissioner and one for the Board Clerk for the record.

 

 

 

 

Thank you Beckie! Let’s go with the 22^nd. If you could give me a time approximate I will make sure to hold that time open. I would like to prepare some brief materials, is it OK to just bring this the day of or would it be better to get them to you ahead of time?

 

 

Erika,

 

I’m happy to put this on the agenda.  Right now there is time available on the April 1, 8, 15, and 22^nd.  The 29^th is the Chair’s budget release, so that’s not the best day.  Please let me know what day you prefer and the presenters and I’ll put the paperwork together.

Thanks!

 

 

FYI

 

 

Thank you, Ruth for putting this in motion. Aaron got right on it and passed this along to Beckie Lee who will try to help us get something on the agenda for April or May sometime. I appreciate the opportunity. We just did not want to forget to say thank you to the Commissioners for the new way of doing things this last winter and tell them about the great results we have been getting with some of our most vulnerable families. Should not take more than 10 minutes.

 

 

District 1 (Commissioner Kafoury’s office) will be in touch with you.

 

Thanks again for your good work and we will look forward to hearing from you.

Thank you for contacting us.  I will work with you on this. 

 

I will give you a call today.

Good day,

 

You may recall that Multnomah County consolidated and expanded winter services for homeless families this year. As the lead provider agency in this consortium, we have called together monthly meetings of the other providers as well as Multnomah County. As a system, at our last meeting, all providers were mentioning how much better everything is under this new system and how many more families we are serving. We would like the opportunity to thank the Council if possible for about 10 minutes sometime in April or May. I am not sure of the proper procedure to try to get on the agenda. Please advise, and thank you in advance.
