8. Advisory Roundtable.
Schumann – Said he is frugal and was disappointed to see the packet mailed twice and will just review
online to save money. He suggested that meeting packets be accessed by members on line instead of
having them mailed to Advisory Board members. Staff shared there was an error made in the meeting
packet and the minutes were inadvertently left out of the meeting packet, so were mailed as a separate
mailing to members, so they could review prior to the meeting. Staff shared they are okay with using this
approach going forward with members accessing the meeting packet online. They asked if all members
were okay with viewing the meeting packet online, or if anyone desired receiving a mailed packet. The
following members shared how they wanted to receive the meeting packet:
Page – Shared she is able to find the meeting packet online, so no need to mail it.
Koski – Requested that staff mail her the meeting packet.
Smith – Shared she is able to find the meeting packet online, so no need to mail it.
Moes – Shared she is able to find the meeting packet online, so no need to mail it.
Hennen – Shared she is able to find the meeting packet online, so no need to mail it.
