Mr. Sherman called the meeting to order at approximately 2 p.m. and announced the meeting was being video and audio live streamed through YouTube and via the Commissioners' Facebook page. Mr. Sherman introduced Bill West,who led the meeting in prayer. Mr. Maggi introduced Michael Pierce,US Army veteran from Washington,who led the Pledge of Allegiance. Mr. Sherman entertained a motion to approve Minute No. 1180, dated February 15, 2024. Moved by Ms.Janis; seconded by Mr. Maggi, approving Minute No. 1180, as written. Roll call vote taken: Mr. Maggi—Yes;Ms.Janis—Yes;Mr. Sherman—Yes. Motion carried unanimously. Before moving forward,Mr. Maggi asked to make an amendment to the agenda,requesting the Board officially request the LSA Board take another look at their 2024 LSA Funding List with regard to the Washington City Mission project,which was initially recommended and then removed from the list. He wanted to be clear that it was not about lobbying for a certain project after a decision was made, but about following a process,which has been in place since 2008. Continuing,Mr. Maggi said on January 30, 2024 the LSA Committee issued a list of 51 recommended projects,including the City Mission's 50-bed homeless women's shelter project as line item number 38 in the amount of$4,781,428 with a recommended funding of$500,000. On February 6, 2024, he stated, a new list was issued with only 50 projects, as the City Mission's shelter project had been removed. Mr. Maggi noted he has been an advocate of the LSA process for 16 years, having participated in forming the process,which aims to remove politics from it. The board is comprised of appointed representatives from the state government, boroughs, cities, townships, and economic development agencies, endeavoring to make the process as transparent and pristine as possible. A process which is a leading example in the region,Maggi stated. Maggi made a motion to amend the agenda to include a request for the Board of Commissioners to ask the LSA Board to reconvene for the purpose of reconsidering the 2024 LSA's $500,000 funding for the City Mission's 50-bed homeless women's shelter project. Mr. Sherman then asked Solicitor Sweat about the legality of such a motion. Mr. Sweat said an amendment to the agenda cannot involve the spending of money or a contract. Mr. Sherman made a motion to amend the agenda to add a request for the LSA Board to reconvene to research the City Mission's project, as well as other eligible projects for the 2024 LSA distribution list. Mr. Sweat approved. Mr. Maggi seconded the motion, but asked to clarify what was meant by"other eligible"projects. Mr. Sherman said it would include the 20 other projects which did not get funded. He continued, saying it's not fair ask about just one project. He believes the opportunity should be granted to all, for the sake of transparency. Mr. Sherman spoke about his years in the non-profit sector and volunteering, stating that City Mission is a great organization,but all those not funded should be included in the LSA's review. He then called for a second to his motion. Mr. Maggi called for a point of order, requesting the review be limited to the City Mission, as they were the only organization on the list which was then removed. Ms.Janis said she received a list on February 6, 2024 and the City Mission project was not on it. Mr. Sherman then called a point of order and requested a roll call. Roll call vote taken: Mr. Maggi—Yes;Ms.Janis—Yes;Mr. Sherman—Yes. Motion carried unanimously. Mr. Sweat also requested an agenda amendment to add Item No. 9,Tax Refunds. Mr. Sherman said they would make note of it when the time comes. SPECIAL ORDER OF BUSINESS None. RECESS FOR PHOTOS PUBLIC COMMENT The following Washington County residents provided public comment: Muse resident A.C. Roland thanked the Board for their time and asked the Board about putting the City Mission back on the 2024 LSA funding list. She also asked about getting more animal control officers in the budget, saying is too vast of an area for volunteers and the limited staff. On another topic, she requested a copy of the Sunday meeting with Ms. Sloane.

Guy Montecalvo, talked about growing up and the help he received from The Washington City Mission.

Marie Montecalvo, a 27-year veteran county educator said she was supportive of the Mission and their need for a women's shelter. Saying, "It's always the right time to do the right thing." Reverend Chris Stillwell of Fairhill Manor Christian Church voiced his support of the work the Mission does, asking why it was listed for funding and then removed. He said that information should be available to comply with the Sunshine Act. COMMISSIONERS'RESPONSES Mr. Sherman responded to AC Roland,informing her there are systems in place for audits to be conducted and the Controller's Office handles these audits,letting her know she can review audits for any other department or Row Office in the Controller's Office. For audits of the Controller's Office, those are handled through an independent accounting firm,Maher Duessel. He directed her to Public Affairs Director, Patrick Geho or Chief of Staff Daryl Price. Mr. Sherman thanked everyone who spoke about the City Mission, saying he's looking forward to a continued partnership.
