Greetings. As advised I am on vacation this week and unable to join the RA for its meeting on Sunday the 17th. I did want to pass along several requests and comments, though:
1. I see an agenda item regarding budgeting. I request that in view of the roles of the Chancellor and Treasurer in our government you not take major actions without giving us notice of your plans and reasonable opportunity to appear or give comment. My general plans to date, after two weeks on the job, regarding executive branch budgeting activity are fairly well known, and recapped in this thread: http://forums.slcds.info/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=2047 and most recebtly in this post:

2. In the interim I request that you consider approving a change to the PIO stipends as described here: http://forums.slcds.info/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=2070 This is a minimal expense in context, and well within our means.
3. I also wish to submit a comment, and suggest an alternate proposal, to the new "Commerce Clarification" Bill, as posted here: http://forums.slcds.info/viewtopic.php? ... 910#p11910
Best of luck with your meetings
Kind regards Jamie P
