Summary

The board chair said Half Moon Bay’s decision not to appeal a recent court ruling frees funds for agency priorities and asked the board to schedule a strategic-plan session; directors said timing should dovetail with the upcoming budget process.

The meeting opened with the chair making a brief statement about a recent court matter and urging the board to shift focus toward a strategic plan. The chair said Half Moon Bay had "decided not to appeal the most recent court decision," which the chair framed as allowing the agency to redirect funds toward other priorities.

The chair asked that a strategic-plan session be added to a future agenda and proposed a committee to set the session agenda, naming Nancy from Granada and indicating Debbie and the chair would serve. Directors discussed the timing and whether the strategic plan should be held while the budget is being prepared. One director observed the budget provides a form of strategic planning but others said a separate multi-year planning exercise was needed.

Directors agreed to place the strategic-plan item on a future agenda; some asked that the budget discussion and meeting schedule be used to identify an appropriate date.
