This was the fifth year of the agreement for the Colorado Community Response(CCR)program. The CCR program was a prevention program that also encompassed a financial literacy program. Over the life span of the program,they had served 222 families in Eagle County. The program's resources had been a blessing to the community. Commissioner McQueeney wondered if families needed to be referred to the program. Ms. Eves stated the referral process was the proper channel but not always the case. Commissioner Chandler-Henry asked if the grant payed for the staff to run the program. Ms. Eves stated that the grant employed two case managers that were bilingual. Regina O'Brien stated that there were currently 11 entities coordinating in the upcoming election. The IGA would be sent out to the coordinating entities August 1.The election would be similar to other mail ballot elections. Colorado had been a vote by mail state since 2013.

Resolution 2017-044 2017 2nd Supplemental Budget John Lewis,Finance Department Mr. Lewis presented the request. There were typically four supplemental requests a year. The supplemental totaled$20,439,443.00, $6 million represented transfers between funds and approximately$10.5 million represented the impact of the unassigned and assigned fund balances for the$15.5 million Hardscrabble Ranch purchase. The impact to the General Fund reserves was only$30,000. The impact of the$2,680,559.00 loan to the Open Space did not have an impact on the reserve balance because it would be paid back. The request would be posted on the website,and he felt that the request continued to represent a conservative approach to the budgeting. Commissioner Chandler-Henry asked Mr. Lewis to clarify the Hardscrabble impact to the General Fund. Mr. Lewis stated that out of revenues next year, Open Space would be repaying the General Fund. Chairman Ryan explained the process of requesting additional funds. A large part of the supplemental was additional revenue from grants and/or unforeseen needs that come up throughout the year. Commissioner McQueeney thanked Mr. Lewis for his presentation and the time he spent making it understandable to the general public. It was helpful to understand how the funds operated and how the revenues were assigned to certain funds. Mr. Lewis stated that Open Space simply collected the revenue and then used it to spend towards further purchases. After this purchase it would be a while before the county could fund another large acquisition. Commissioner McQueeney moved to approve the 2017 2nd Supplemental Budget.
