Hello, Peter,
Jacob Frey's aide responded that it is not in Jacob's wheelhouse to advocate
that the
HHH annual meeting be pushed back to allow for decent public notice.
David Hewitt gave me the link to receive HHH notices. This past Friday, Nov.
10th I got the email notice for the HHH annual meeting for Thursday, Nov. 16th.
That is only 5 days notice. Not a reasonable notice to allow the public to
arrange schedules to be able to attend. Also, there should be two annual
meetings one on a week day and one during the week to,really allow for public
access.
Ending homelessness IS NOT a 9 to 5 " let us all get our bureaucratic meetings
out of the way to meet the letter of some law about meetings". Real inclusivity
means thinking outside of the bureaucratic box.
I am self employed and still need more time than five days to arrange my
schedule.
For,these providers who constantly talk among themselves they a) knew long
before the date of the meet b) their jobs allow for them to go. Although the
majority of the in the trenches workers cannot go. I have no idea how homeless
persons were included BUT a classic response will be that they are
included....almost always as tokens.
And, in the (rather highly scripted list of events at this meeting) there is no
mention of tne evaluation , self criticism of where HHH fell short, although
David Hewitt told me it would be forthcoming .
Andy Hultquist is noted to be the person who was charged with ( per the Henn
County web site)
ongoing program evaluation of heading home Hennepin ten year end homelessness
efforts to
identify what worked, what needed adjusting. Happy to send the exact wording on
his duties from the web page if you want that.
Neither he or David Hewitt have responded to my request for his evaluations.
Our FOI request to HHH did not include any Evals by Andy. Sadly, we got a grand
total of 24 pages from our FOI request.
Also, I am trying to find more specifics on the downtown 100. Actually it was
fifty by the time HHH got to,it. but HHH and st. Stephens still title it 100.
Ironic them receiving an innovation reward when it was Guy Gambill with our
decrim committee who did the research, planning and advocacy on the downtown
100, none of the providers worked on it, just stole it from guy and decrim when
the money rolled in.
