The Board Personnel Committee meeting focused on reviewing the organizational chart and progress, discussing post-bond staffing needs and role expansions, outlining the process for hiring an architectural firm, and holding an executive session to discuss personnel matters. Following the executive session, the board reconvened to adjourn the meeting.

The committee reviewed and approved the minutes from the October 20, 2021 meeting. A discussion took place regarding the organizational chart, identifying issues with the format and exploring the implications of expanding roles and responsibilities, including potential cost increases. The need for additional staffing and role expansions in relation to post-bond construction needs was also discussed, along with the potential conflict of interest regarding design and posting. The process and board expectations for hiring an architectural firm were outlined, including the timeline for the RFQ, advertising, candidate scoring, and interviews. The goal is to be prepared for the next steps in the project, including the use of local funds and a bond selling strategy.
