Discussion:
City Administrator Tom Ourada expressed his concerns with SENDD and the issues we've had with their representatives. However, their executive director apologized and assured Tom that they would do better going forward. The city is currently working with SENDD on a housing program. Also, future projects that SENDD will be working on are things that the city could benefit from. The Committee agreed and mentioned that the expertise of SENDD representatives is helpful with grant writing and submissions, which is worth keeping our membership for at least another year.
