Following the agency presentations, Chair Aitken discussed the appointment of Board Members to the funding
subcommittee. She explained that after discussing the topic with Vice-Chair Henninger, they both agreed that
appointing the newerCSB members to the funding subcommittee would be beneficial to their overall
understanding of the funding process and would feel more comfortable giving their input in a more informal
setting. All other Board Members would have the opportunity to provide their input freely at the next board
meeting. Board Member Murphy indicated that she could not participateon the funding subcommittee at this time
due to her work responsibilities. Chair Aitken then appointed Board Members Beas, Kelso, and Cudd to the
funding subcommittee and indicated she and Vice-Chair Henninger would also participate on the subcommittee.

recommendations tosubcommittee members via email so that they could be consideredduring subcommittee
deliberations.Joe indicated he will check on the availability ofmeetingspace at City Hall for the subcommittee
meeting and get back toeach subcommittee memberwith possible dates and times.
