“Thank you, Chair. Quick question. I know that the EA and EGA are state-funded programs. How is those dollars figured out? Is it an allocation? Is it off of population? Is it off of residents who are on our program? Or is it a formula that is distributed through the counties? And then my next question then goes into, do we add dollars to, like levy dollars or other program dollars to that support as well?”

“I think I just have a question more or less for maybe you, County Manager. If there's some confusion around this performance measure, can we maybe change the performance measure and have one that shows us maybe what we're looking for? Or, you know, if this performance measure is not very useful, let's change it.”

“Okay, I just wanted to make sure. So a couple questions. On this slide right here, do we know... When we talk about the American Indian families or the African American Indian families, and you can see how that number goes up and down a little, do we know are these families that have been on the program for multi-years and are now just utilizing the whole family support? And then also, does this work tie into the work that we're doing with our family coaching programs that we are supporting as well? Because I know the American Indian Family Center is not a partner with the Economic Mobility…”

“And then one thing I do want to just name and just say are I know that for the Native American community, like you said, we partner with the American Indian Family Center. But have there been other agencies interested in holding that contract or that similar contract? And why do we only partner with one? I understand that they've held that contract for many years. And I'm just curious as what does that look like going forward?”

“Okay, while we're still on this slide, do we know the participants that exited off, did they utilize training programs or other support services that we offered versus them utilizing career advancements on their own if they were already working part-time or they were already in school versus, hey, they're starting at zero, they got a job, they went to a training program, right? Do we have that type of data as well?”

“That's awesome. I just want to follow up and say I think that's an important part or an important piece that we try to communicate somehow during this budget season or even just going forward is that our participants that are on this program or some of these programs are employed. They are working hard to exit the program and use it how it's intended to be used and it's not abused, you get a lot of that misinformation or that misconception that people utilizing these programs are abusing them. This is really important data, and I think it's really important that we somehow find a way to make…”
