					Commissioner Lansburgh voiced concerns over the recent shootings occurring in Woodland in public housing and wondered what role YCH plays if one of their residents is a gang member. Janis explained how they handle these types of issues and what their policy is. And it doesn't mean the family has to move necessarily. Discussion continued on how to make this area safer and Janis said they are working with Woodland PD about installing video cameras to common areas so they will have better surveillance. Janis noted that Lisa Baker will be bringing the 2020 YCH dates to the December meeting and Agency Counsel Hope Welton noted that the upcoming meeting in December, along with closed session, will be lengthy.
