Members Present: Sam Guerrero*, Cynthia Juniper, Robert Luckey, and Chris Benfer

BVCOG Staff Present: Christopher Hamilton

The committee discussed each of the goals and objectives, noting those that have been met, those that should be changed, and those that are not appropriate to the Planning Council. Mr. Hamilton will make the agreed upon revisions to the goals and objectives section of the plan.

The committee discussed the upcoming reauthorization of the Ryan White CARE Act (RWCA) and came to the conclusion that the plan should not be rewritten before the reauthorization occurs because of potential changes to the legislation. The committee has agreed to wait and evaluate the reauthorization prior to developing new goals and objectives for the comprehensive plan.

The committee will report to the Planning Council that it has reviewed the plan and continues to do so, agreeing upon some changes to be made thus far, but primarily, feeling it is best to wait until the RWCA is reauthorized before undertaking any major revisions.

The next meeting is October 20. The committee will decide a week before it will still meet on this date, depending on guidance from HRSA/DSHS about RWCA reauthorization.

The meeting was adjourned at 9:45 a.m.
