He further <br />noted that the recommendations would effectively change the current <br />strategy committee structure, by centralizing the committees into one large <br />group that meets frequently and is given direction directly from the SAEC <br />Board of Directors. A Sustainability Task Force would be established and <br />would be a standing Task Force of the Board, subject to the provisions of <br />the Brown Act. The Task Force would carry out and implement the <br />business and strategic plans of the Empowerment Zone. <br /> <br />The total number of Task Force members would be 35 with the Chair and <br />Vice Chair selected from the SAEC Board. Director Haynes noted that the <br />Ad Hoc committee was including a recommendation that would require that <br />Task Force members abstain from participation in the Task Force if <br />applying for or currently receiving Empowerment Zone Funds. <br /> <br />Board discussion ensued. Members expressed support for many of the Ad <br />Hoc Committee's recommendations but some expressed concern that <br />participation would be severely limited if there were a requirement that <br />Task Force members could not apply or receive Empowerment Zone <br />Funds. Director Haynes replied that this recommendation could be deleted <br />from the proposal. <br /> <br />SAEC MINUTES 4 APRIL 24, 2002 <br /> <br /> <br />
