DISCUSSION
ATTENDANCE AT MEETINGS, Mary Bloom-Ramos
Director Bloom-Ramos expressed concern that task force members who
show up for meetings are often told at that time that there will not be a
quorum, and that the meeting will be cancelled. She noted that staff
currently makes phone calls to the members three days in advance, sends
at least two notices via FAX, and makes phone calls the day before the
meeting. She suggested that task force meetings be cancelled three
days prior to the meeting if staff can not confirm that a quorum will attend.
Board member discussion ensued, and Empowerment Zone Manager Bill
Manis noted that, for future task force meetings, staff will inform all
members three days in advance of the meeting whether there will be
sufficient attendance for a quorum.
