Amounts were previously approved in NOVA. Todays’ vote is to acknowledge amounts in public.
- Discussion 2020-21 Allocation Scenarios – Project Manager
Motion: Second:
Vote: Yes: No
Three scenarios from CAEP were reviewed for 2020-21. The first was to reflect a status quo. The second would be a reduction in COLA. The third would be a reduction in COLA to include a reduction in member base amounts.
- Discussion of Annual 2020-21 Plan/Writing Prompts – Project Manager
Motion: Second:
Vote: Yes: No
Writing prompts are to be completed by each member and submitted to the Project Manager to create an initial report. Once an initial draft report is created, the consortium will review/edit it at our May meeting and review it one more time at the June meeting before a final vote. Once the consortium has consensus, the Project Manager will input it into NOVA. This is the process from CAEP for all Annual Reports. The Project Manager recommends for members who you have MOUs, to work together on the writing prompts.
- Discussion of Pilot Option “Flatten the Curb” – Project Manager
Motion: Second:
Vote: Yes: No
In as much as the consortium has been thrust into an online platform for all members for the current and in all probability for the subsequent year that perhaps our pilot should change and reflect how to create and maintain online services.
- Discussion of Split Funding – Deanna Keuilian
Motion: Second:
Vote: Yes: No
