VI. DISCUSSION: COMMUNITY YOUTH DEVELOPMENT STATEWIDE

to replace Rafael Alvarez, who recently resigned due to his parents illness. Ms.
Corona distributed Steering Committee Membership applications.
Kimberly Rhoades left at 6:25 p.m.
IX. CURRENT CONCERNS: Ms. Varino requested that Steering Committee
members not talk and whisper when it is time to review proposals. She stated
that she did not want any distractions, and that she wanted to hear everybody's
comments when RFPs are being reviewed. Therefore, Ms. Varino discouraged
any side talking. Additionally, Ms. Varino asked Ms. Corona and Mr. Semtner if
there was a policy in place regarding Steering Committee members being tardy
to meetings. Ms. Varino stated that when members are late, valuable time is lost
because the tardy member has to be filled in with what was previously discussed.
Mr. Semtner informed Ms. Varino that although the Committee did not have a
policy, he was unclear whether the City had one. Mr. Semtner indicated that he
would find out if the City had a policy, and that we would revisit the issue at next
months meeting. Mr. Semtner advised the Steering Committee members that
they should start thinking about what would be an appropriate course of action
for members that are consistently tardy.
X. TRAINING: CONSENSUS SCORING: Marla Miller with Texas Network of Youth
Services, conducted the Consensus Scoring Training for Steering Committee
members. Prior to the training, Ms. Corona distributed packets to the Steering
Committee members, which consisted of: Statement of Confidentiality & Conflict
of Interest, General Guidelines for Evaluating Proposals, Request For Proposals
for FY 2004, and Proposal Evaluation Tools. Ms. Corona informed the Steering
Committee members that she and Mr. Semtner would be meeting with the two
youth, Katie Childs and Vanessa Reynolds on March 26, 2003 and April 2, 2003,
to assist them in reading the proposals.
Xl. ADJOURNMENT: Since there was no further business, Dick Leonard moved to
adjourn the March 20, 2003 Regular Called Meeting of the Community Youth
Development Steering Committee. Andrea Walter seconded the motion. The
motion carried. Chair Verla Varino adjourned the meeting at 7:50 p.m.
