Call the Meeting to Order
II. Committee Applicant Interview
A.
Kathy Santoro Interview
We then talked about Kathy's interest in joining the full Board and the change in the composition of the Board since she was last on the Board.
III. Governance
A.
Review of Board of Trustee Handbook
We discussed the best approach for editing and finalizing the Handbook going forward. We decided that we should tackle one section at a time at each meeting. The agenda will include notice of which section we will be addressing. Members should review the section ahead of time and come with comments, etc. to discuss as a group. Polly will create and send out a Google Docs form to GC members for shared real-time editing. Kathy volunteered to help with formatting (thank you!), which does not need to happen at the meetings since no substantive changes will be made to the document.
IV. Closing Items
A.
Public Comments and/or Member Comments
Kim Nothnagel asked the following question: Is the GC responsible for maintaining the Board on Track member data? We were not clear on the answer, but Polly believed this was the Clerk's domain, or that of the Board Chair. We all agreed that some of the information is outdated and that sections of Board of Track could be cleaned up accordingly. Polly will present this question to the full Board at the next meeting.
There was no public comment.
Kathy introduced herself and her interest in serving on the Governance Committee and potentially on the Board as a whole.
