agenda for the next meeting so it could be distributed as a communication so that there’s not this, all this lag. So we receive a report but we can’t talk about it. MS. GARSON: Generally, probably not. It’s even questionable for OIP whether or not you can get the report with the communication prior to a meeting because that, in and of itself is a serial communication. MS. O’HARA: So for instance, we met this morning. We can make a verbal report? MS. GARSON: Right. MS. O’HARA: But if we were to make a verbal report and then follow up with a written report that still couldn’t be under discussion at the next meeting? It would have to wait. MS. NICHOLSON: Till the following meeting after that. MS. GARSON: Well, if it’s the same thing that’s in the verbal report, I don’t think that the fact that you reduce it writing makes any difference. So I would suggest you make a verbal report. And if you want to memorialize something than just includes the things you discussed, I don’t think that’s a problem. MS. NICHOLSON: Otherwise the minutes are the record of that. MS. GARSON: Correct. There’s no requirement for a written report. REPORTS FROM SUBCOMMITTEES MS. NICHOLSON: So we’re skipping agenda item 6 for right now and moving to agenda item 7. If any of our subcommittees have written reports. MR. MATSUDA: Operations, Budget MS. NICHOLSON: They would like to file? MR. MATSUDA: Yes. MS. NICHOLSON: So, starting with Operations and Budget. MR. MATSUDA: Operations, Budget and Consolidation committee, we don’t have any report. MS. NICHOLSON: Revenue Enhancement and Collections? MR. ARMOUR: We have no new reports. MS. NICHOLSON: Technology Recommendations? MS. O’HARA: The chair and I met this morning with Data Systems. I’m trying to remember they’re names. 30
