Planned Presentations
Presentations on the Medical Monitoring Project and Quality Management are scheduled for the June meeting. These presentations will be conducted by non-members and will take approximately 45 minutes combined.

Committee Reports
The Executive Committee discussed the content of each committee report to be given:

° Allocation Committee: Mr. Willson will discuss the upcoming allocation process. Ms. Castro presented the Executive Committee with a revised list of committee members designed to adequately represent all HSDAs.
° Comprehensive Planning Committee: Mr. Guerrero will discuss the current status of the comprehensive plan. BVCOG and Mr. Guerrero will meet by phone prior to the Council meeting to go over the committee report.

Quarterly Utilization/Expenditure Report
BVCOG explained to the Executive Committee that, due to the ARIES conversion, usable data is not yet available for the Austin HSDA. This is due to ARIES utilization reporting inconsistencies within Austin. BVCOG will have data to present for the upcoming allocation process. The Executive Committee agreed to have a normal utilization/expenditure report for each HSDA with the exception of Austin, which will be presented at the August meeting.

Rita Castro adjourned the Executive Committee meeting at 10:30 a.m.
