DISCUSSION OF SUBCOMMITTEE REPORT PRESENTED AT OCTOBER 22 MEETING MS. NICHOLSON: Okay. So when Bill gets it then he’ll have to give it to you as a communication. So, no we’re back on agenda item 6, which is discussion of the subcommittee reports that we got at the last meeting and we did get a report from, actually everyone had something, not necessarily reports to discuss, but we did have some discussion items from Operations, Budget and Consolidation subcommittee. MS. WONG: Since she needs to leave at noon, which is in three minutes, do you want to take hers first? MS. GARSON: Actually when she leaves you will lose quorum. MS. O’HARA: They can’t have discussion? MS. GARSON: No. MR. ARMOUR: We should probably move to the next agenda item and future meeting dates. Skip to the end. ITEMS TO BE PLACED ON NEXT AGENDA MS. NICHOLSON: Okay. Yes, we should actually move right to the agenda for the next meeting if we can do that. So we’re going to skip to item 11, Items to be placed on next agenda. What is our pleasure in terms of what we want to put on our agenda for the next meeting? Is there another department that we wanted to meet with? We have discussed someone. MS. CARVALHO: You folks requested Scott Leonard and he agreed to come. MS. NICHOLSON: Okay so Scott Leonard will be our speaker at the next meeting. Anyone else that we would like to hear a little bit from? Scott Leonard is from the Planning Department as I recall. Anything else relating to Planning? Yes, Eileen. MS. O’HARA: This isn’t related to Planning, but it’s related to our meeting this morning and the communication that we anticipate receiving from Data Systems. It might be good to ask James Kiley to come because the rest of the commission was not present at our subcommittee meeting this morning. He might be able to explain better recommendations that come through in our communications. MS. NICHOLSON: So we would like to invite him specifically to address their communication to us? Which hopefully we would receive by then. So this has to do with Data Systems, which I know you guys have also talked about some data issues. Is that speaker you would be interested in hearing from? MS. WONG: I would not necessarily. I think that both of you can surmise what was stated unless it was so impressive that. 32
