Staff Report & Agenda Item Details

15. CONSIDER AND TAKE POSSIBLE ACTION ON DESIGNATING ONE OR MORE BOARD MEMBERS AS REPRESENTATIVE TO ATTEND CONFERENCES, MEETINGS, SEMINARS AND SIMILAR EVENTS AS DISTRICT REPRESENTATIVES. Director Morrison suggested that instead of designating a board member to attend conferences, meetings, seminars and similar events that all directors be advised of upcoming meetings at the regular Board meetings. If a director is available to attend a meeting, that director can advise the board at the meeting and then report back to the rest of the board at the next meeting. Director Morrison will be attending the conference at Del Lago on September 11 and 12, 2002. Approval of extension of the Memorandum of Understanding makes staff personnel available for 20 hours per week every week. Representatives of the Board can be reimbursed at state rates for travel.
