Agenda Item 2 Chairman's Opening Remarks (None) Agenda Item 3 Approval of the August 81 2012 Meeting Minutes Ms. Burns noted the date of the Meeting Minutes was incorrect, and should be changed from June 4, 2012 to August 8, 2012. It was (M)Hernandez / (S)Lemons / (C) to approve the minutes as corrected. VOTE: Unanimous. Agenda Item 4 - Approval of the 2013-2015 Strategic Plan Ms. Burns reported that the current Strategic Plan reflects all changes suggested in the Commission's June 4, 2012 meeting, and all that is left is to approve the plan. Dr. Giza noted that the implementation for the BreEZe database will be December 3, 2013, while the implementation for the medical database is one day later, on January 1, 2014. He asked whether the medical database was • going to be worked on concurrently or separately and whether a gap in the implementation was 1 of6 necessary. Ms. Burns replied that it was her understanding that BreEZe and the medical database were not related, and that the proximity of implementation dates was a coincidence. It was (M)Giza / (S)Hernandez / (C) to approve the Strategic Plan as written. Agenda Item 5 Executive Officer's Report • a. Budget Update Ms. Burns pointed to expenditure documents in the packets that reflected actual account activity for the months of July and August in the meeting materials. Some activity such as travel and pay were not reflected in these documents due to the standard delay. She noted that payout for athletic inspectors is usually one month behind. Also, the documents SQqwa total operating budget of $1,139,000 but in actuality the Commission is trying to operate within a budget of $1,125,000 as part of a two-year solvency program that the Commission implerJiented,.,,_-,,y,.,•,•,,,,,,,: a couple of months back in order to achieve savings and establish a healthy fund. Ms. Burris!also n~ted that the surplus percent does not accurately reflect true surplus due to the delay in s9meiaccourtt:activity such as travel and payout. Revenue for September is about $100,000, and reventre for October is.iprojected to be about $120,000 due to events that the Commission heldcorwill hold in those months. The Commission has also been working to resolve issµes with thE! amounts th.itathletic inspectors are compensated at events. Recently the DepartmenFofConstrmer Affairs (DCA)t,upon the Commission's request, asked CalHR v,lhether or not athletici;ommissioners were paid appropriately and CalHR prepared a legal opinion whichiallows the Comrti1ssion to stop paying athletic inspectors currently employed by the State of Californic1 tim~<a1pd-a-halfovertime pay even though they work full time for the state and perform athletic insp'eqtion!l 1fn:adpition to their primary job. Also, the Commission does not needto. reimburse inspectors fodtf:leJime theytr.avel to and from their homes to • the event. Instead, inspectorscal'i\be paid regular time(.c>rtf~;event, bdt not for their travel time. The one exception is for leapjnspectors VVQO perform''duti~s-at home'i,i'1;preparation for the event and then travel to the event from their home. Ti:te,y can be Pi=/idior their travel time. Inspectors were notified of this via a memo on October'77,2012 e){plaining this\'policy and it took effect the same day. Dr. Lemons inquired whether,,tlilerE! was a'pr<oject~J1lisaviogs from 1this policy, and Ms. Burns is working with the budget offic:eto·getthe;prqjectedmurnbers .. f\h\; z::-, , :- '.·.';;, The opinionCalso authorized.\the Comrn[s,sion to move to flat-rate compensation as an alternative to hourly comp'ens,,;1tion. Mr. Grafit6ffnquiredw,hether any grievance had been received regarding this and Ms. Burns r~plied that therel~adn't beeri:any. Preliminary estimates show that the Commission may be able to hlre·c1pother inspei;tor from the salary savings. The baseline number of inspectors per game is now four. Ms.IBurns also noted that the amount allocated for inspectors is already very low, and so any savings achieyed thr()!iJllh inspector pay reduction should be put back towards maintaining a baseline number of inspectors,iiiorder to ensure proper regulation and safety at events. The Commission submitted a Tl~~ative budget change proposal this year which will reduce the budget authority for the Commission from $1,939,000 to $1,125,000 and this was a necessity based on the insolvency issue faced. This reduction will ensure that the Commission does not face future insolvency threats. Dr. Giza inquired whether the reduction would appear on the next meeting synopsis. Ms. Burns replied that it would not because the budget numbers are based on the Governor's Budget allocation. However, the goal of $1,250,000 could be noted on subsequent documents, but the lower allocation number will not appear until the next budget year. b. Status of Regulations Ms. Burns directed the Commission to the regulation table in the packet and noted that the hand wrap • and asthma medication regulations still have not moved forward due to staff reductions. However, 2 of 6 DCA has offered staff assistants to help with moving them forward.
