Administrative Agency Evaluation
BVCOG will send out the Administrative Agency Evaluation via e-mail to the CTHPC members. The completed evaluation will be turned in at the meeting.

Committee Reports
Membership Committee. The Membership Committee was unable to agree upon a date and time to meet via conference call. BVCOG received two applications for membership. A summary of each applicant's information was sent to the Committee for a vote via e-mail.

Allocations Committee. Minutes of the Allocations Committee meeting were sent to Committee members via e-mail.

Community Empowerment Committee. The Community Empowerment Committee met to develop questions for consumer groups from other Planning Councils that will participate in the CTHPC meeting.

Needs Assessment Committee. Ms. Crowell stated that she would contact Mr. Benfer to discuss the report for the Needs Assessment Committee.

Standing Committee Meetings:
There has been difficulty coordinating a date and time for committee meetings and conference calls. Mr. Wilson informed the Executive Committee of Mr. Benfer's concern with the lack of committee members committing to a date and time for committee meetings. BVCOG suggested establishing standing committee meetings for each committee on a monthly basis. If it is not necessary for a committee to meet, then the scheduled meeting can be canceled. Ms. Castro will address committee member attendance and the possibility of standing committee meetings during the CTHPC meeting.
Reallocations Policy:

BVCOG will send the reallocations policy to the Executive Committee via e-mail. The Executive Committee will meet at 9:30 a.m. prior to the CTHPC meeting to review the policy. The reallocations policy will be presented during the Allocations Committee report at the CTHPC meeting.
