Voting Yea: Brown, Floyd-Bryant, Sanchez, Drane, Pino, Martin, Washington, Caraballo, Hudson Program and Grant Updates Program Manager, Marcus Thorne, shared updates from the July Monthly Milestones report. He also shared the Strategic Navigation Plan and our Data Tracker with the board. The goal of sharing the Strategic Navigation Plan and Data Tracker was to help the board better understand the specific deliverables which have been committed to SAMHSA and to demonstrate program progress through July. We spent significant time reviewing the SPARS section of the Milestones report. (Note: SPARS stands for SAMHSA Performance Accountability & Reporting System. SAMHSA stands for the Substance Abuse & Mental Health Services Administration. The ReCAST grant, which this board oversees, is issued by SAMHSA. Indicators of progress and performance (IPP) measure grant outcomes.) We briefly discussed the IPP measures as well. As a result of this presentation, the Board wanted to have a better understanding of the Data Tracker. Marcus recommended inviting our data evaluation team, Betsy Crane and Jenn Ballentine, to our next meeting to provide additional context and clarity. Select members for a By-Laws Sub-Committee The ReCAST Program Manager requested two volunteers join a bylaws sub-committee. ReCAST Bylaws are governed by the ordinance which created the board, with the exception of the “duties of officers” section which is to be determined by the board itself. Establishing officer duties will be the primary task of this sub-committee. Two members volunteered: Liliana Pino and Nancy Martin. Other Business Board Chair, Chanda Floyd-Bryant, asked the Program Manager to introduce the two new Board Members to the rest of the Board. He did so, introducing DeVante Hudson and Carol Caraballo. Final Adjournment Motion made by Sanchez, Seconded by Pino.
