New Business
Strategic Planning
Terry Profota updated the group on changes to the process. The group generally agreed to move forward on keeping the Task Force at the same size and move to quarterly meetings for the full group. Most business would be accomplished in committees like Executive, PI&E, and Community Support.
Of the possible committees, the Community Support, Strategic Planning and PI&E groups are functioning. There will also be an Executive and Finance Committee.
In a discussion with the County Attorneyís Office, Jenna and Terry learned that there has been concern from the Commission, forwarded to the County Attorneyís Office for resolution, about agency-representatives not going through the application process with the Commission. A final opinion on that is pending.
Board Job Description:
It was proposed that there would be a three year term for members, with a one year wait after that in order to renew. Two expectations of members could be that each attends the quarterly meetings, and that each is part of a committee for at least a year of their tenure. This would apply to both at-large members and agency representatives. In addition, anyone at-large interested in membership would need to attend a meeting before applying.
Others:
The proposed Board Governance Calendar will be re-formatted to work with the quarterly meeting schedule. The proposed Law Enforcement Advisory Group Charter will not be acted on as the Task Force will continue as one large board.
Motion to approve the Grants Charter with a name change to ìCommunity Education & Activity Support and Enforcementî or CEASE Awards Committee by Terry D. Approved.
At the July Task Force meeting the group will vote on several Strategic Planning Documents.
Before leaving, Terry P. urged members to consider serving as a Task Force officer.
Financial
Terry's Fiscal 2012 contract has been included in the approved budget to the county for approval. There may need to an additional contract later in the year in order to accomplish the work outlined in the Fiscal 2012 agreement.
Waiting for confirmation from Fiscal that $6000 from the Task Force reserve be moved to Contracted Services to help address an apparent high-volume of requests for Fiscal 2012. Would bring the total for Contracted services to $16,000 and leave $40,000 in reserve.
CEASE Awards
Dennis Farnham will be committee Chair and Aaron Vice-Chair. Aaron presented on the award applications discussed in the June 1st meeting of the committee.

MHP Overtime Patrols for high-risk DUI times/events like July 4th and the Cat/Griz game. Motion by Chuck to award $3500 for MHP, second by Gordon. Approved. Aaron will contact Sgt. McLaughlin about providing more specific proposals for each patrol. MHP can reapply if there are more funds available later in the fiscal year.
Three Forks Rodeo Proposal: $2160 for DUI enforcement of the event. MIP foot patrols were removed from the proposal. Motion to approve $2160 by Terry D, second by Shanda. Aaron gave permission to use the application on the website as an example of a well-written proposal.
