MS. NICHOLSON: Do you have a suggested date? ndth th MS. WONG: The 2or 16of March might be options? I’m thinking that the 4and th 18are furlough Fridays. Is that correct? MS. GARSON: Yes. MS. NICHOLSON: The second would probably be a little too early if we’re trying to get some feedback from those departments. So the option would probably be March 16 and then we have two Wednesdays in a row, which poses a problem with putting items on the agenda. So it would almost force us to move the meeting that we’ve now moved rdththth to the 23of March to maybe to the 30, so it would be the 11and the 16, which ththth means we wouldn’t add anything to the agenda. 11, 16and 30. What’s your pleasure folks? I think it would be better to look at February and see if there’s a meeting we could add in February so we could get that letter out earlier. To me that’s thth the crunch. I’m leaving on Wednesday the 9and returning on Tuesday the 15and thth leaving again on February 19 and probably coming back on the 26. So I could do 16 th instead of the 11. How does that work for people? February 16. Could we meet then? MR. MATSUDA: I’m not going to be here. I’m going to be out of state. MS. PROVALENKO: Yeah, I’m having a hard time with it too. Cause it’s really hard for me to say right now. I have some clients coming in to town who I have to spend time with. And I don’t know the agenda yet. I don’t know what my calendar is going to look like. MS. NICHOLSON: Well, our other option would be, I mean what we’re trying to do is get that letter out to the departments so we could basically let Gloria send out the letter. MS. WONG: The committee. MS. NICHOLSON: Yeah. Her committee send out the letter to the departments so that we can get the feedback. MS. PROVALENKO: Right. I understand that, but couldn’t, once she’s put that together couldn’t we receive an e-mail of it and respond individually back to you? MS. NICHOLSON: It’s the summary of the potential consolidations and then the cover letter that will go out with it. MS. PROVALENKO: I’d like to see the summary, that’s the key for me, just to see what the summary is. We won’t talk to anybody, but just MS. GARSON: I think that’s the communication itself, outside of the committee, then you’re having, even if you’re just looking at it and explain to me, it’s like you’re having a discussion or deliberation about it outside of a noticed meeting. 39
