c. Expansion & Review Team report- The state did not want us to do a survey again. They want a committee to be able to converse about the items. There is a minimum of 1 meeting required per year. Staff & key volunteers meet with the expansion & review team and provide knowledge and experience. They need to consider everything this team comes up with but doesn’t have to do it. We need to use word of mouth to find people that should serve on this committee. There will be two people from each council. Voted unanimously for Melba Riel and Karen Poe (Motion 1-Corinne, Motion 2-Cheryl) to serve on the expansion & review team from this council. After team is formed from the councils, they will look at the demographics and see if they need to add others from the community.
