BOE 2013 - 14 Approval of Meeting Schedule for 2014
Vice-Chair Murashige noted that currently the meetings are scheduled for
the 3d Friday of the month at 1 :00 p.m. and asked if there were any
objections to the schedule. Mr. Weil stated that he does not like meeting at
1 :00 p.m. on Fridays. Mr. Nagano said the Board used to have the
meetings in the morning but that did not fit Chair Clark' s schedule and -
questioned if it would be advantageous to anyone to again have the
meetings in the morning. Mr. Weil replied yes; the contra-flow is on and
traffic is not nearly as bad. It was noted that it still might present some
problems with Ms. Clark's schedule but she would not be the Chair. Vice-
Chair Murashige said it has been suggested that the meetings be held on
Fridays during the morning, subject to further discussion at the January
meeting when Ms. Clark returns. Mr. Perry made the motion to change the
meeting time to 9 :00 a.m. based on the dates
submitted in the schedule. Mr. Nagano seconded
