- Discussion and Approval of Three Year Strategic Plan
Chairman Wilson asked the Committee if all had a chance to review and opened the floor to discussion. Member George Indelli stated everything sounded great about the plan and glad we are able to have such a completed plan. His only worry is with Coordinator Livingston’s resources being ran thin and worried about the resources available to attain goals set within the plan. Chairman Wilson explained Coordinator Livingston’s main function is the program, giving her more lead way and the ability to work on these goals. Chairman goes on to explain that within his office he is hoping to hire two new Vendor Supplier Management/Vendor Relations Management support staff to help take on vendors and the State Use Program same as they would in a competitor vendor scenario. There will be a lot of interaction and discussions with the agencies and vendors. Making sure vendors are supplying what they have been contracted to supply and that agencies are doing what they should be doing. Giving Coordinator Livingston the flexibility to utilize these two in helping with some of her needs and concerns with vendor/agency issues. Motion to adopt Three Year Plan was made by Member Gloede, seconded by Member Indelli. The Three Year Strategic Plan was approved by the committee.

- Discussion and Review of Document Destruction Guidelines
Chairman Wilson asked the Committee if all had a chance to review and opened the floor to discussion. Member Gloede questioned whether this was already in place.
