And I'm not saying that I wouldn't be willing to work
with the staff and go back and look and see what kinds
of flexibility -- but I also know that with regard to
the realities of the Acquisition Program, local
agencies, with the recent changes to the OHMVR Program,
the Grants Program, it requires local agencies to come
up with a significant amount of match and also to be
able to demonstrate that they can operate the program.
So it's not just a situation of changing the
regulations; there's some practical sides of it that you
may want to look at if you want to schedule an agenda
item to get some local agencies and talk about what
they're trying to do and how hard it is.
So yeah, there are some limited ways of looking
at the regulations in emergency situations. I'm not
confident that I'd want to say there's a lot of
possibility here, but certainly I'd be willing with
staff to look at it and come back and talk a little bit
more about it, if you'd like me to do that.
