6.Waitlist Prioritization. Rosser reviewed the
previous draft of the preference ratings. At this
time there are approximately 160 applicants on
the waitlist. There was some recategorization to
ensure the most vulnerable get
referred. Categories for amount of time on the
waitlist and Orange County residency were
proposed as well as the weighted
ratings. Hudson made a motion to approve the
