However, he also asked if we were going to submit a bond request this year. At this time we only have to submit an intent to file a request, so he is going to do that. It requires no detail. BUT we have a short time table to put together details if we are going to make a request this year. If we don't make a request this year, it is TWO YEARS before we can do so again. The dates are:
October 3 - CIO has to provide preliminary draft language to the governor's office
October 24 - final language due
That means that at our next meeting we need to approve the draft language - including funding estimates and what we want to fund - to get them to Dick by Oct 3. And then we would need to approve any changes at the October meeting.
I suggest we take a preliminary look at the survey results that Sewall has prepared, and draft something up before the September meeting.
Is there a Board committee looking into this? If not I can coordinate the effort and get something together ASAP. Please let me know if you are interested in participating. We can vet this via email before the September meeting.
