Committee postpones formal review of Small Enterprise Growth Board after absence
Summary
The Small Enterprise Growth Board did not attend the review and had not supplied policies; staff recommended rescheduling and the committee agreed not to include the entity in its letter until materials and representation are provided.
The Small Enterprise Growth Board was not present for its scheduled quasi‑independent entity review on Feb. 9, and committee staff reported that required policies had not been provided. Committee members discussed two options: proceed with a staff review of submitted materials and follow up with questions to the entity after the meeting, or reschedule the entity’s review and exclude it from the committee’s letter if materials and representation are not provided. Members expressed disappointment at the absence and the chair indicated staff will request rescheduling and omit the Small Enterprise Growth Board from the review letter pending receipt of materials.
Why it matters: Quasi‑independent entities are required to provide documentation and appear for statutory reviews; absence and missing policies may delay oversight and require staff follow‑up.
Next steps: Staff will request a reschedule and follow up to obtain the board’s policies for review.
