16:00:20 From Vicky Davidson : We had a heat index of 103 the other day. Nice today, about 90 degrees. 16:01:46 From Sheryl Matney : My cousin sent me pics from the Bay area in CA - it looks like nighttime in the morning! 16:02:13 From Santa Perez : 115 on Saturday, 83 today 16:06:59 From Tedra Jackson : What's the meeting cadence again? Every third Thursday? 16:08:40 From Aaron Carruthers, SCDD : Sheryl, it's wild. I'm concerned for people in the Bay Area who don't have air conditioning. With rare 100+ degree days and the smoke and no way to process the air, I'm concerned. But it changes fast, and not quite sure which way. better air? better temperature? worse air? hotter temps? another fire? winds on the fire? will the winds change direction? I got notices that all electric companies will have the power turned on throughout the state after turning off the power in certain areas in an attempt to prevent their power lines sparking wildfires. It's a lot, and layered, and in many parts of the state at once 16:09:28 From Tedra Jackson : We host a weekly webinar and stream it live on our Facebook. It's really helped people for whom registration challenges are a barrier. Has NACDD considered this option? 16:10:10 From Angela Castillo-Epps : Yes, the third Thursday - October 15th at 4 EST. The invite and details went out to everyone today. If you did not receive it, please let me know. Thanks! :) 16:10:40 From Kirsten Murphy : What is the date of the next NACDD managed care event? missed it when Donna said. 16:12:01 From Mercedes Witowsky : Aaron, Thoughts are with all of you in CA! 16:13:55 From Robin Troutman : The managed care event will be September 24th 16:15:48 From Christine Pisani-DD Council : Aaron...anything we can do to support Californians?

I'll let you know. Appreciate it! 16:17:35 From Santa Perez : Thank you 16:19:48 From Christine Pisani-DD Council : Aaron I am so sorry this is happening. It is heartbreaking to see all of this happening... 16:23:15 From Aaron Carruthers, SCDD : Christine, just throw in a major earthquake and a tsunami and 2020 will be complete :) Being here with you all is nice, familiar. If I turn my head the view out the window is dark, orange, and snowing ash. You're all a much nicer focus 16:29:12 From Erica McFadden-AZ : Woohoo Christine! 16:29:32 From Erica McFadden-AZ : That was me! 16:29:33 From Ann Trudgeon’s iPhone : Oklahoma also approved!! 16:29:40 From Kristen Larsen : Please share Christine! 16:30:06 From Rachel London : Maryland approved too! 16:31:53 From Robin Troutman : CFR 75.306 16:32:37 From Alison Whyte : So we will need to do this again for FY20, yes? 16:33:12 From Tedra Jackson : Great question Allision 16:33:16 From Tedra Jackson : Allison 16:33:30 From Sheryl Matney : Right now, the ACL is just wanting to address Fy 2019 16:34:29 From Sheryl Matney : they are not saying "no" to FY 2020 - but have not opened the door for Fy 2020 no-cost extension opportunities - I think the memo indicated not seeking FY 2020 no-cost extension requests "at this time". 16:37:16 From Kim ICDD Director : Thanks Christine! 16:37:45 From Christine Pisani-DD Council : You are so welcome! 16:38:59 From Kim ICDD Director : You are completely right Brooke. Same here. We are sending out letter today... basically we need the extra time because you told us we had it? LOL 16:39:18 From Erica McFadden-AZ : Kim that sounds like our letter! 16:39:29 From Erica McFadden-AZ : Because you told us that is why we did it! 16:41:39 From Brooke Lovelace : sorry one more time when is the letter due? 16:42:03 From Rachel London : 9/14 16:44:24 From Brooke Lovelace : thanks Rachel 16:47:08 From Jason Withers - Virginia DD Council : Here are the obligation/liquidation questions we posed to our Program Officer that we requested clarification on: 16:48:28 From Jason Withers - Virginia DD Council : The first bullet on page 1 of the guidance states "All Fiscal year 2018 Awards have a liquidation deadline of September 30, 2020 as established in the Notice of Award (NOA)." Under Grant Flexibilities, For the FY 18 Awards, page 3, the third bullet states "Councils can request a liquidation waiver to liquidate funds past the liquidation period of 9/30/2021, for ACL's review and consideration". Question: Can you please confirm that the no-cost extension to liquidate 2018 funds is automatic and Councils do not need to request a liquidation waiver for the no-cost extension to 9/30/2021? 16:49:13 From Jason Withers - Virginia DD Council : Question: Are Councils still permitted to carry out work, which utilizes the 2018 funds, until September 30, 2020 (as specified in the April 28, 2020 guidance)? Pg 1, Fiscal Year 2019 Awards: "ACL approves a one-time special condition for Federal fiscal year 2019 grant awards that will allow for grantees to complete the work authorized by September 30, 2021, but obligations must be made by the 24-month period project end date of September 30, 2020." 16:49:36 From Jason Withers - Virginia DD Council : Question: Can you please confirm that (i) if a Council has obligated all of its 2019 funds by September 30, 2020, and, (ii) work will be continuing on those projects through September 30, 2021, (iii) a letter requesting a no-cost extension for obligation of funds is not required? 16:49:49 From Christine Pisani-DD Council : Great work Erica. Would love to see that guidance. 16:50:18 From Christine Pisani-DD Council : Sorry have to get on another meeting. be well people! 16:50:38 From Daintry (Hawaii) : Thank you Erica, please share!! 16:51:52 From Kristen Larsen : Thank you Jason for sharing the questions you sent. Nebraska sent similar questions and I am waiting for a reply. 16:52:13 From Jason Withers - Virginia DD Council : Thanks Kristen! 16:53:28 From Erica McFadden-AZ : Here is the guidance to fund in-home supports during the school day: https://des.az.gov/sites/default/files/media/Services_and_Supports_for_Members_Using_Remote_Learning_During_COVID-19_Emergency_090820.pdf?time=1599607194887 16:56:09 From Ann Trudgeon’s iPhone : need to sign off to catch a staff meeting. hang in there friends!! thanks for the updates NACDD 17:00:53 From Alison Whyte : There should be a "thumbs down" reaction.
