Recommend approval to extend the current FMCoC Chair and Secretary Terms by one year – Jody Ketcheside Due to the expiration of 6 Officer positions at the same time, it was recommended that the terms of the Chair and Secretary be extended by one year in order to provide continuity should all officer positions be filled with new members and also to stagger the terms of the officers so that this does not occur again. If approved the Chair term will expire in February 2020, and Secretary term will expire in March 2020.

PIT expenses, and we’ll be requesting to carry that amount over for the 2019 PIT. Current volunteer count is as follows: Fresno – 96 total (51 tally night, 50 1st survey night, and 70 for the 3rd day. It’s a little low. For comparison, on the 2018 PIT tally night there were 189 volunteers. Madera County currently has 24 volunteers. Jody encouraged more people to register asap. 4. Built for Zero Update – Maryann Knoy: FMCoC is involved in the National Federal Initiative to reach functional zero. Data is tested in 100-day cycles on things that can be implemented on a larger systemic scale. During the last cycle, 20 clients became match ready for housing intervention. To take them to the next step we carried over those 20 clients and focused intensively over the next 100 days on the remaining 15 clients that had not been housed. Of those 15, 5 have been house, 5 are on the verge, and contact was lost with 1 client. We are still working with the remaining 4. The last day of test cycle is January 28, 2019. Also ran a test cycle for a Diversion Screening Tool. Data is being processed, but hoping to have it by March. Once completed, it will be sent out to the whole FMCoC. 5.
