MS. WONG: I’ll hold off our report when we get to agenda item about boards and commissions. MS. NICHOLSON: Do we have a report from Revenue Enhancement and Collections subcommittee? MS. PROVALENKO: Not at this time. We’re still waiting for information. MS. NICHOLSON: And I can say that we have no report from Technology Recommendations and Adoptions. MS. GARSON: Before you go on, so the committee met on boards and commissions? Remember how when you have a subcommittee, you present the report, and then there’s no discussion at the meeting, and you discuss the report at the next meeting. So if you pass up on your report, I’m wondering what it is that you’re going to do when we get to the board and commission agenda item. Did you have a meeting outside of MS. WONG: I think it was in November when we were meeting with several different, when we had a roll of meetings with different departments. MS. GARSON: Okay. So you’ve already reported about those discussions. MS. WONG: Yes. And we did not finish on this topic because it seemed to be, I think our meeting had ended and we waited and waited about three or four meetings that this topic has come up that we had not addressed yet. MS. GARSON: Okay. So you don’t have a new report? MS. WONG: No. MS. GARSON: Okay. Got it. Thank you. DISCUSSION REGARDING ITEMS PREVIOUSLY RECOMMENDED TO BE PLACED IN DRAFT REPORT: MS. NICHOLSON: Now we’re on to Discussion Regarding Items Previously Recommended to be Placed in Draft Report. I wonder if we want to jump to Agenda item 9 before we get into this rather involved discussion on the draft report. Would you like to do that? MS. WONG: I can do that. MS. NICHOLSON: Can we ask the audience members to introduce themselves, or not? MS. WONG: Is that allowed? MS. GARSON: Normally you, would any of you mind at all? 3
