Allocation Committee. The Allocation Committee will report on the reallocations that the CTHPC approved by email vote. The Committee will also discuss the unit cost questions that need to be answered by the Council.
Other
BVCOG. BVCOG will present a quarterly utilization and expenditure data report.
Other Discussion:
Retreat
Ms. Crowell will type up the agenda for the retreat, which was developed by the facilitator, Jamie Schield. The Executive Committee was encouraged to give their input on any changes that need to be made to the agenda.
Core Competency Review
Ms. Crowell talked to the committee about prioritizing the core competencies by committee in order to identify which core competencies are most vital to each committee. This would be compared to the makeup of each committee and help identify areas that need to be strengthened. The Executive Committee agreed that the Membership Committee would develop a draft document outlining core competency priorities by committee and present it to the Executive Committee for review.
Re-allocations Policy
Ms. Crowell talked to the committee about developing a re-allocations policy for emergency re-allocations where timeliness could be an issue. The committee decided to have the Allocation Committee draft a policy that would give the Executive Committee authority to approve re-allocations in certain circumstances or for re-allocations under a certain amount. The policy will go to the entire Council for a vote before it is adopted.
