At Monday night’s meeting under new business, LTRG Chair Kota Young explained the partnership with PACS is to provide a streamline experience for local individuals.

In other new business, three community members volunteered to be a part of the Donated Goods Committee that was created through the Donated Goods Policy approved at the last LTRG meeting. Young said the policy does suggest four members with Amy Littlejohn, Lucinda Gray, and Chancie Goodwin volunteering to serve on the committee. No one else volunteered to serve on the committee, but Young said that anyone that wanted to volunteer could add their name if they decided to do so.
In addition to Form A, Young said the LTRG should also create a General Intake Form to help those individuals impacted by the tornado to any degree to submit their information to be entered into the system.
