today, subcommittee members would have an opportunity to identify outstanding
questions before finalizing individual scores. If staff could not answer, additional
information would be requested from the organization.
Ms. Bishop shared that Subcommittee Member Chad Wakefield declared a conflict of
interest with the City of Chandler Housing and Redevelopment Division Relocation

Wakefield to excuse himself from that part of the discussion.

related to the Relocation Assistance and Professional Services applications would be
delayed to the next meeting to allow for presentation of the most up to date information
related to the Relocation Assistance Demonstration (RAD) project.
Subcommittee Chair Alcala facilitated a discussion of each application to identify the need
for additional information from agencies.
