Commissioners discussed calendar changes affecting quarterly meetings with LEC members, options for the annual employee picnic in September and a potential scheduling conflict in October.

Commission member Speaker 1 summarized the LEC schedule: a meeting set for June 19 "is canceled," and the subsequent quarterly meetings listed as September 3 and December 11 had been canceled when sent out but later rescheduled to September 3 and December 11. Speaker 1 said, "I just wanted to make sure I was understanding it right." Speaker 2 agreed.

On the employee picnic, staff member Steve said the original venue was unavailable and offered alternatives. "We could change the venue to the Hillside Aquatic Center. That actually will seat more people," Steve said, and later noted, "It'll seat over a 100." He described the facility as indoor, air-conditioned, with a small kitchenette and elevator access to a second-floor meeting room. Commissioners discussed alternative dates (September 3 or September 10) and the option of keeping the original date and moving to Hillside.

Speaker 2 suggested a future indoor option, noting, "Shonsby Arena down by Wachter ... they have kind of, like, party rooms upstairs in the arena." After weighing availability risks, Speaker 1 said, "Choice between this keeping the date in Hillside or moving the date up a day?" Speaker 2 responded, "Let's keep the date and check out Hillside." That direction was accepted.

Separately, Speaker 2 raised a scheduling conflict with an external conference: "MISO State's annual meeting ... moved ... to October 20 through the 22, and we have a commission meeting on October 22." Speaker 4 proposed a tentative alternate, saying, "We'll put a hold on the 20 second. Put a hold on our calendars for that date." Speaker 2 said holding an alternate date (October 23) would work and that a virtual meeting could be used if needed.

The transcript records these scheduling decisions as directions to staff rather than formal motions or votes. No budget allocations or formal policy changes were discussed during the scheduling discussion.
