Member raises staff travel-policy concerns tied to consent calendar rescission
Summary
A board member questioned a proposed travel policy change and whether the executive director would have discretion to protect staff traveling to certain U.S. states; a colleague said the issue appears as a consent item to rescind outdated policies.
Nancy Hawkins used public comment time to raise what she described as a personal concern about a proposed travel policy that referenced travel to Arizona and other states. She asked whether the policy would be replaced by one allowing case-by-case executive director decisions to protect staff who might face conflicts during travel.
"I was asking if you heard me...I saw the potential change in the travel policy with regard to Arizona, and it raised for me the issue of potential travel to really all states given the current political situation," Hawkins said. She asked whether decisions would be made to protect staff on a case-by-case basis.
Board member Eugene Everett told governors he believed Hawkins' comment related to a consent-calendar item to rescind some outdated policies. The transcript does not record a formal discussion, motion or vote on that consent-calendar item during the provided excerpt.
No formal action on the travel policy change or the consent-calendar rescission is recorded in the provided transcript; further consideration would take place through the consent calendar or at a later agenda item.
