Committee Basics Bethany shared information about procedure, timeline, etc. for the Committee: Voting and quorum policies will match those of the CoCs: 2-week vote warning, quorum being 60% of the fixed committee (will need to determine official members of committee before being able to determine what is 60%) Group consensus should be the first priority when making big decisions We will need to report back to both CoCs as a sub-committee: we’re well integrated with VCEH, but will need to be mindful about staying connected to the Chittenden County Homeless Alliance as well. We have one representative from Spectrum who also sits on the CHA, who can help ensure information is shared. Once the Chittenden County CoC has their CoC Support Specialist position filled, we could ask that person to join the committee. Meeting schedule plan: meet every other month, give ourselves time between meetings to get real work done, if we create workgroups that will give them time to meet as well Timeline: we’re hoping to have a plan to move out of committee within a year, but we have flexibility Committee is currently receiving HUD technical assistance for the next 6 months Next meeting: Doodle poll showed that May 11th worked best for everyone Bethany requested changing the time from 1-3pm to 10-12pm that day, those attending confirmed this would work, Bethany will email others and be in touch
