UNFINISHED BUSINESS <br /> <br />A. 2013 Edited Goal/Work Plan Review <br />Ms. Olson recapped that at the December meeting the committee made some minor <br />changes to the goals and expectations. Staff has attached the revised version for review. <br />One change was to have Item #10 state “prepare regular newsletter articles” versus <br />“prepare monthly newsletter articles.” Another change made was to change the PTRC <br />members’ time commitment to 3-4 hours versus 6-8 hours. <br /> <br />Council Liaison Holden indicated that if the committee is not going to submit newsletter <br />articles on a monthly basis, to let the Communications Committee know since currently <br />the Communications Committee is setting space aside for the PTRC articles. She <br />informed if the Communications Committee does not receive articles monthly, the PTRC <br />may not be guaranteed a spot in the newsletter. Chair O’Malley suggested the PTRC <br />submit articles on an every-other-month basis. Discussion ensued and the committee was <br />in consensus submitting articles every other month. Ms. Olson indicated she would <br />change Item #10 to now read “prepare newsletter articles every other month” and Ms. <br />Holden indicated she would inform the Communications Committee of this change. <br />
