I've had. It's just that they're overworked, and they
have too much on their plate to come in. I anticipate
that changing, and hopefully in the next couple years
there will be more submitted.
COMMISSIONER VAN VELSOR: And then a second
question, the non-profits, are there more projects this
year than last for non-profits?
OHV STAFF FERNANDEZ: Yes. Actually, we have
actually one more non-profit applicant this year than we
did last year. The amount of projects are the same. So
last year we had 22 projects submitted, and this year we
also have 22 projects submitted. Although, we do have
one more applicant than we did last year.
COMMISSIONER VAN VELSOR: Do you think there's a
capacity issue with non-profits? I mean, for example,
the federal government does not have the capacity to
apply and develop for restoration. It seems like they
could rely on non-profits to provide that capacity. Why
is that not happening?
OHV STAFF FERNANDEZ: I don't know. But I think
that's something we can obviously look into and go out
and do some more outreach. I think there are some
non-profits out there that can come in and partner up
with the federal land managers. The one thing with
these restoration projects, they're three years in
