willing to set up another remote meeting place at the Quilcene Community Center.

If the county defers to be the CoC, then historically the lead is Olycap. If Olycap is not going to do it this year - how does the County do the CoC functions? Olycap (Chris) is currently
running it. Olycap’s concern is that they have adequate notice so that clients and employees don’t experience loss of services or employment during the transition. The only way Olycap
will pursue it again is if no one else does. Structurally it may be better not to have a service provider overseeing other service providers.
Unsure what pieces Olycap is willing to hold on to, operational dollars would need to be attached. The county will be asked mid-January, and the details will need to be worked out, hopefully
the decision can be fully flushed out during the 6 months till it becomes real.
Next Meeting: Oct. 6 - 11:15
