Present: Jonathan Brand, Tom Crady, John Kalkbrenner, Mickey Munley, Jack Mutti, Russell Osgood, Todd Reding, Susan Schoen, Helen Scott, Paula Smith, Jim Swartz, Frank Thomas, and Karen Voss.
The meeting was called to order at 8:32 a.m.
Jonathan Brand began the discussion with an update on the current budget model. He expressed his hope that more reductions could be found and reflected in the current model, but the purpose for the meeting was to discuss the strategic priorities not yet in the budget and identify those to recommend be included in next year's budget.
The Committee briefly discussed each recommendation it made at the last meeting regarding reductions in several areas.
Next, the Committee turned its focus to the priority items which were outlined by Russell Osgood and distributed to the members. The Committee recommended added funding in the base budget for several items. Members were encouraged to continue to be diligent in finding additional funds from their budget areas for other priorities.
Jonathan reported that a schedule of monthly Committee meetings would be distributed to the members in the next several days.
The meeting adjourned at 10:23 a.m.
