4 Open Assignment: Nancy Alford was unclear which subcommittee she serves on, due to some recent changes. She will await election of a new chair to commit to an area or project she wants to work on. 7) Discussion of Handout: CIP Budget Members had been provided with a hard copy of the CIP Budget 2010-2011. The chair asked if any members had any recommendations for the next CIP. He noted that next month the AC would need to submit a report on what was done during 2010. He expressed uncertainty about what could have been accomplished given: a) lack of an AC budget; b) lack of cooperation from elected and appointed officials; c) limitations set by the Planning Department. However, 2010 was partly an educational process. Nevertheless the AC needs to do better, he said. If he is re-elected as chair, he will take a stronger leadership role to help drive the group to accomplishment. He asked members to bring to the next meeting a few items taken from the CDP which could be the focus of a CIP request for 2011-2012. Leonard Librizzi noted that the AC’s role was not only to introduce such items, but also to lobby for items the AC wished to support. Upon request, Allen Salavea reviewed the sections of the CIP document. There are summaries of the priorities for each County department in each section, followed by a detail page for each project. He noted that the CDP document would count as a “legal mandate” for requests based upon CDP language that included “shall” or “should.” The deadline for submittals is May of the year. The departments’ staff makes the presentations before the County Council. Mike observed that the AC could formulate a proposed CIP item as a group but he did not believe this was an efficient process. Nancy Alvord agreed and suggested some additional communications on this topic in between meetings, through Allen Salavea. NEW BUSINESS 8) Election of Chair and Vice Chair Vote: Nancy Alvord nominated Mike Fischer as chair; Jeannie Palermo seconded. Mike thanked the group for its confidence in him. He said if selected he would be demanding that the group work hard in the coming year. By a voice vote, Mike Fischer again became the chairperson. Vote: For vice chair Jeannie Palermo nominated Nancy Alvord, with Leonard Librizzi seconding. Members unanimously supported Nancy.
