CREATE A SUSTAINABILITY COMMITTEE
Bill Manis, Empowerment Zone Manager briefed the Board relative to this
item and noted that the staff report should be corrected to reflect that the
sub-committees of Child Care, Safety and Transportation, and Health and
Housing would be made full committees and not eliminated as stated in
the report.
Board discussion ensued. Board member Larry Haynes volunteered to
chair the new Sustainability Committee and Board member Mary Bloom-
Ramos volunteered to co-chair this Committee. Ben Grabiel addressed
the board relative to concerns about the lack of participation and poor
attendance at many of the program committee meetings.
Board members emphasized that the primary role of the Empowerment
Zone members on the new Sustainability committee would be to facilitate
communication between the SAEC Board and the Program Committees.
Approve the recommendation recognizing the Chairs and Co Chairs
as the Sustainability Committee.
