Stevens and Asherall discuss integrating Saturday Night Lights into program model

Yeah, I think a lot of the work that's being done needs to be connected.

In your testimony, you spoke about one of the programs that I don't like as much, which is Saturday Night Lights programs, which is SNL.

I've never been shy to explain my thanks with that.

And you explained that SNL has been in both the beacons and in the cornerstones.

And one of the reasons why I don't like it is because it's a standalone program and it doesn't make sense.

And so my question is to you guys, are you guys looking to roll that just into the model moving forward?

And why wasn't that done originally to not just have that become part of the program model when you did one of these contract extensions or something like that?

It's on.

The green means it's on.

So turn it back.

Yeah.

Okay, great.

Thank you.

I can't speak to how the timing and how it all rolled out with the SNL, but what I can say is this, is that we're not planning

to have an RFP for the SNL, but we are looking at ways to realign it and think about whether or not, to your point, it makes most sense to integrate it into a future concept paper and an RFP.

So that's the exercise that we are.

Are doing internally to discuss, like, how does this live within the fabric of our community centers?

Yeah.

I mean, again, like, the program in itself, like, it makes sense, but it does not make sense to me as a standalone.

I think that it should be a part of the program, right?

And I think some of the, you know, it started out as a separate program.

And what happens is people hear things when it's good, then everybody wants it.

And so I think that it was one of those moments we should have stepped back and been like, wait a minute, is this something we could just expand throughout all of the portfolio opposed to having the touch points in the way we do.

So I'm happy to hear that that's something that's being considered as we're thinking about moving into a concept paper.
