Ms. Brown said DCD is working with DNS to have owner occupants do only the essential services and will require a performance amount to cover those costs and that will be returned to the owner once the essential work is completed. This will be a pilot project for a year and a higher performance amount will be required of investment owners. Maria Prioletta came to the table and spoke on buyer requirements that NIDC has.

Murphy. The metrics of whether participants are employed needs to be tracked to see if this program is a success. DPW has also brought on 100 people on "super crews" and they were able to do miles and miles of pothole repairs. Mr. Thomas said the department can provide a report of the type of work that they cannot obtain using SBEs, such as sewer lining. They do try to break those contracts down so some of the work can be done by city residents through the Residents Preference Program. Members were concerned with the quality of grass cutting -- long cuttings left on the grass, grass being uncut for long periods of time by the highways and who is responsible for what. Right now the county is only mowing its grass along the highway twice a year. Laurie Daniels - Operations Director said they are adding E-Notify to the language on the signs relating to no 4" parking rule unless plowing operations are occurring.
