SUMMARY:  Attached as Exhibit 13-A is a draft charge prepared by staff for the Public Outreach Committee (POC).   Language shown in bold italics is alternative text proposed by POC Chair Knight.  Due to scheduling conflicts, the Public Outreach Committee was unable to meet and make a recommendation on preferred language for the charge.   Therefore, Chair Knight requested that the full Board review the language and make a decision on the charge.

 

RECOMMENDATION:  The Board should review the draft charge and the alternate language shown on Exhibit 13-A .  The Board should discuss the charge and adopt preferred language.

 

BACKGROUND:  At the September 8, 2005 Strategic Planning Session, the Board directed that charges be developed for all Board committees.   At the December 12, 2005 Board meeting, charges for several committees were submitted for consideration and adopted by the Directors.  Consideration of a charge for the Public Outreach Committee charge was deferred until the committee members could meet to refine the charge and develop a recommendation for the Board.
