SC@Work: May 12, 2009 Board Meeting

I’m so behind on posting this…my sincere apologies! Fortunately, there weren’t a lot of additional documents generated for this meeting. A lot of work is still at the committee level, and the agenda was on the light side to give us time for an extended board planning workshop focused on our strategic planning process.

We did have the redistricting issue come up, which was the subject of a blog post earlier. I had made the decision to oppose it, because I think our district has a huge advantage by not being balkanized between different districts, but coming at problems with unified interests and accountability. For lack of another motion, I moved to table the issue, and the motion to table passed 4-3 (Leslie, Palmer, Vineyard and Klein).
