proper certification...their name gets added. What we found in the <br /> past is that a lot of the families...this is the first time...they don't <br /> do these types of construction projects...they don't know who to <br /> call. So they always ask us...so what we do is we give them a list <br /> of contractors who have done work with the program in the past <br /> and they are clearly told that here's an example of people you <br /> could try to call. Yellow pages is also a good places to look or <br /> referrals from other family members or friends that you know of. <br /> The selection of the contractor is totally up to them. <br /> Mr. Adams: The list itself...just to take it quick tangential...quick tangent here. <br /> The list itself...is there some phrasing on there that indicates that <br /> the office or the County is not endorsing any of these contractors? <br /> Ms. Akiyama; I don't think honestly that there's that language on the list. It's just <br /> a list of names. <br /> Mr. Adams: Far it from me to suggest you might include that. <br /> Ms. Akiyama: I think that's a good idea...but also the administrative rules that <br /> clearly defines for them that they make the choice is also <br /> distributed to them. So...but I think that's a good idea. <br /> Mr. Adams: But they understand based on your explanation that they also have <br /> the ability to go to other folks...there's other sources...there's no <br /> requirement to choose from that list that's provided....is that right? <br /> Ms. Akiyama: But the notation on the list is what you're recommending. <br /> Mr. Adams: They're also told this though I'm assuming. <br /> Ms. Akiyama: Yes. <br /> Mr. Adams: But it's probably not a bad idea to include that information if <br /> you're handing out that information out. Just saying. <br /> Ms. Akiyama: Thank you. Okay. <br /> Mr. Adams: So...I'm sorry. Ms. DeCoito what's your position in the office? <br /> Ms. DeCoito: I'm a clerk. <br /> Mr. Adams: And...do you as I...as the administrator talked about the decision <br /> that there's a specialist that determines eligibility...there's an <br /> inspector that goes out to the house...checklist of items based on <br /> 8 <br />
