At the meeting, the commission appointed a member to serve as the commission’s contact for the Office of Management and Budget’s (OMB) space‑utilization and workforce policy review.
OMB asked the commission to name a single contact so OMB can analyze workspace needs, collect data and develop a comprehensive plan for how different staff should be allocated within the building. The appointment was discussed and approved without a formal recorded vote.
Commission member Brandy (name provided in the transcript; role/title not specified) raised OMB’s request and described OMB’s plan as a data collection and analysis effort that would lead to a comprehensive workspace plan. Another commission member (name not specified in the transcript) offered to coordinate with OMB, saying, “I would be happy to work on this.” The presiding member responded, “I will appoint you,” and the appointment was made during the meeting.
Discussion included a brief review of OMB’s guideline categories; one member noted that under the proposed guidelines “most of our people probably in, like, if you think of Erica's office when you come in, that would probably be 2. Really small.” Commissioner Sherry (name given in the transcript; role/title not specified) raised no objection to the appointment.
This action is procedural: staff and the appointed contact will work with OMB as OMB develops its analysis. The commission did not take separate formal votes or adopt a new policy during the meeting. The appointed contact is expected to be the single point of coordination for questions and information requests from OMB, and OMB will return to the commission with its analysis when available.
Less critical details: the meeting did not specify timelines, a formal title for the contact, or whether the contact will report progress at a future public meeting.
