Summary

Finance and Administration staff reported that all but two projects are on schedule and a committee member asked whether delays near Los Alamos are tied to federal activity; staff said they will seek input from Secretary Silva and follow up by email.

Ashley, a staff member reporting to the Finance and Administration committee, said most projects are on schedule but that two had delayed starts and invited questions on the provided information.

Member Mononttoya asked whether the delays—which appear to be nearer the Los Alamos area—were related to federal activity, specifically operations at the Department of Energy laboratory. "Does that have anything to do with what's going on at the federal level or do you have any information on why they're delayed on those two?" the member asked.

Ashley said she did not have that detail at the meeting but offered to obtain information from Secretary Silva and provide it to committee members. Member Mononttoya requested the follow-up by email.

The chair then moved the meeting to the next agenda items. The committee did not take formal action on the delays; staff committed to report back with any clarifying information.
