Will the Department send us a note on the contractual basis for the number of contracted beds versus the occupancy? Does it pay if they are not fully occupied? I ask for a note on that so we can see for ourselves. Will the officials also provide us a note on how the Department satisfies itself on the exemptions and the planning? For example, I know of a couple of instances where properties were said to be former bed and breakfasts even though they were not. How does the Department satisfy itself on that? Will it also send us a note on the modular homes and the costs and numbers? Is the tax clearance certificate the only issue the Department satisfies itself on where the providers are concerned or does it look at other issues? If so, what are they?
