Regional Continuum of Care Council Nomination and Selection Committee Meeting
DRAFT Meeting Minutes June 4, 2015
2:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m.
Reviewed and Approved on: _________ Committee Secretary Initials: ___________ Attendance: Rick Gentry, Tricia Tasto Levien, Kevin Crawford, Lila Fetherolf, Jennifer LeSar (via phone), Sr. RayMonda DuVall, Tuck Forsyth Members Absent: Bill Bolstad Guests: Melanie Wilson Staff: Melissa Peterman, Vicky Joes, Casey Cole Potential Conflict of Interest Summary: Lila Fetherolf explained that Interfaith Community Services is the fiscal agent for Alliance for Regional Solutions and Interfaith submitted a Letter of Interest for Supportive Services Only for the Coordinated Assessment and Housing Placement (CAHP). She recused herself from any discussions and voting related to the Request for Proposals for the Infrastructure Organization (IO). Board Seat Rotation Summary: Kevin Crawford and Vicky Joes introduced a draft Board Seat Rotation recommendation that recommended seats for one-year terms and seats for two-year terms. Kevin Crawford motioned to approve the draft 2015 RCCC Governance Board Seat Recommendation and Rick Gentry seconded. The motion asked that additional language be included in the footnotes that details the terms of the various seats and the term limits outlined in the Charter (10 years). The recommendation will be forwarded to the RCCC Governance Board and then the RCCC full membership for approval. Infrastructure Organization RFP Summary: Kevin Crawford and Vicky Joes explained that the Draft IO RFP had been sent to various parties for review. Erica Snyder and Vicky Joes are also holding a listening session on Friday, June 5th, 9 – 11 am for individuals to discuss their comments/questions in person. There have been several opportunities for public input. Rick Gentry introduced a motion and Tricia Tasto Levien seconded. It was unanimously approved by the Committee members noting that Lila Fetherolf was not in the room during the discussion and vote and is recusing herself from
5
discussion and voting related to the IO RFP. The motion recommended that the RCCC Executive Committee review and approve the final IO RFP. The RCCC Governance Board will not be meeting in June so it was felt that in the interest of time the Executive Board should review and approve the final IO RFP. Several people noted that it’s not typical that RFPs are shared with public prior to finalization. May Minutes Summary: Kevin Crawford motioned to approve the corrected minutes and Sr. RayMonda DuVall seconded. The corrections to the May minutes are as follows: correcting the spelling of Tricia’s last name to Levien; noted that Jennifer LeSar was in attendance at the May meeting; and noting that the next meeting was June 4, 2015 rather than July 3, 2015 as noted in the minutes. The corrected minutes were unanimously approved by the Committee members. RCCC Charter Revision Interim Process Summary: Kevin Crawford and Vicky Joes explained the new proposed structure for the charter revision process. The Chair of the Nomination and Selection Committee will nominate three (3) members from the Committee and three (3) members will be nominated from the full membership. One-half of the members of the Subcommittee must be represented by HUD-funded agencies. Tricia introduced a motion to approve the interim charter review process and Lila Fetherolf seconded. It was unanimously approved by the Committee members. If someone wants to be considered for nomination they should email Melissa Peterman. Chair Update Summary: Kevin Crawford announced that he will be stepping down from Chair of the Nomination and Selection Committee due to his other work responsibilities. He will still be a member of the Nomination and Selection Committee. Kevin Crawford nominated Rick Gentry as the new Chair of the Nomination and Selection Committee and Tricia Tasto Levien seconded. It was unanimously approved by the Committee members. Next Meeting: July 2, 2015 from 2:00 to 3:00 pm. Location to be determined.

Background
The Charter states specifically that the “Nominations & Selection (N&S) Committee
“reviews the Governance Charter and provides recommendations to the Board and Full
Membership Body.”
On May 28, 2015, the RCCC Chair convened a meeting with staff and leaders from the N&S
Committee and the Charter Revision Ad Hoc Committee of the Full Membership Body in
order to provide clarity on the process for revising the RCCC Charter, gain consensus on
who will coordinate, convene and communicate this process, and determine next steps.
The group agreed to forward this proposed process to the N&S Committee for
consideration, after which it will be presented to the RCCC Board for final approval. The
group also acknowledged bigger issues of authority, accountability, efficiency and
effectiveness that are not addressed through this process.
This is a proposal for an Interim Process, until the selection of the Infrastructure
Organization (IO). In the future, we envision that this process could be facilitated by the IO.
Structure
The RCCC will form a Subcommittee of the N&S Committee, consisting of at least 3
members of the N&S Committee and 3 representatives from the Full Membership.
Half of the subcommittee must be represented by HUD-funded agencies, either from
the N&S Committee or the Full Membership.
The Chair of N&S will choose the 3 representatives to serve on this Committee, and
the Full Membership will choose 3 representatives.
Regional Continuum of Care Council RCCC Charter Revisions Interim Process
DRAFT Updated June 4, 2015
11
We will need to give careful consideration to the stakeholder composition of this
group so that there is equal representation of funded and non-funded
representatives involved to ensure an unbiased process.
Representatives are expected to be in direct communication with their respective
groups to provide updates on the Subcommittee’s discussions.
Once seated, this group will select a Subcommittee Chair to guide through the
process and facilitate meetings.
The Committee will be staffed by the new Project Director (who is a neutral staff to the
entire RCCC).
This person or consultant will be responsible for convening meetings, communicating
information, and preparing and keeping materials and records.
Interim Process
This group will begin by reviewing the slate of recommendations brought forward to the
full membership last month:
1) Staff will create a clear standardized form for proposed changes, which would list the
proposed change, the originating Committee of the proposal and originating date,
the reason for the proposal, the legal analysis, and the Board’s response, and the
final outcome at the Full Membership.
2) Prior to Subcommittee review, the full slate of recommendations brought to the Full
Membership Body on X date will be sent to Procopio for legal review and feedback,
and then back to the Subcommittee for any changes.
3) The Subcommittee will also allow for an open input period from other Advisory
Committees to forward recommendations to them for consideration.
4) With the legal analysis and additional recommendations, the Subcommittee will
consolidate a list of agreed upon recommendations.
12
5) Recommendations would then be sent to the Nominations & Selection Committee
for feedback and vote of endorsement.
6) Then the Subcommittee would bring forward slate of recommendations to the Board
for feedback, input and endorsement.
7) Finally, the Subcommittee would bring forward the slate of recommendations to the
Full Membership Body for review and adoption.
The recommendations must be posted publically on the website at least 2
weeks prior to Full Membership review and approval, in order to allow for
extensive public input and review by the Full Membership.
The Full Membership will hold two meetings at a minimum on the proposed
changes, with at least one informational community input session prior to the
vote.
Timeline
The group meet will meet monthly at a minimum, with the GOAL of bringing forward the
next set of recommendations to the Board and Full Membership Body for adoption in 6
months, by December 31, 2015.

RCCC Charter Revisions Interim Process Proposed Amendments
Updated July 2, 2015
Background
On June 4, 2015, the Nominations & Selection (N&S) Committee approved the “RCCC Charter Revisions Interim Process” with the intent of presenting it to the RCCC Board for final approval. The process includes a six-member sub-committee consisting of three N&S Committee members and three members of the Full Membership Body. This group is to convene monthly and propose changes to the Governance Charter by December 31, 2015.
To ensure the process more closely aligns with the Governance Charter and the work of the other Standing Advisory Committees, four amendments are proposed for N&S Committee consideration.
Proposed Amendments
1. Sub-Committee Structure a. Current Statement: The RCCC will form a Sub-committee of the N&S Committee, consisting
of at least 3 members of the N&S Committee and 3 representatives from the Full Membership. Half of the sub-committee must be represented by HUD-funded agencies, either from the N&S Committee or the Full Membership. The Chair of N&S will choose the 3 representatives to serve on this Committee, and the Full Membership will choose 3 representatives (pgs. 10-11 of Meeting Packet).
b. Proposed Amendment: The N&S Committee will form a sub-committee consisting of six members of the N&S Committee. The representatives will be selected by the N&S Committee Chair and consist of one individual from each of the major N&S Committee member categories: City, County, Community & Development, Philanthropy, and Provider. One exception is the Provider category, which will have two representatives.
c. Reason for Amendment: It is the responsibility of the N&S Committee, which consists of Full Membership and Governance Board representatives, to review and recommend changes to the Governance Charter. This amendment brings the process closer in-line with the existing Governance Charter, which outlines the responsibilities of both the N&S Committee as well as the Full Membership Body. o It is the responsibility of the RCCC Full Membership to, “Review and approve
Governance Charter and all amendments at least annually” (p. 9 of the Charter). o The Nominations & Selection Committee is, “Responsible for the RCCC Governance
structure, this Committee evaluates and recommends changes to improve the structure and ensure it is operating in an optimum way to meet the mission. It reviews Board Member nominations, reviews solicitation responses and provides recommendations to the Board. It also reviews the Governance Charter and provides recommendations to the Board and Full Membership Body” (p. 19 of the Charter).
14
2. Interim Process a. Current Statement: The Sub-committee will also allow for an open input period from other
Advisory Committees to forward recommendations to them for consideration (p. 11 of the Meeting Packet).
b. Proposed Amendment: The Sub-committee will conduct a series of three community input sessions on proposed Charter revisions. Feedback will also be accepted electronically. Other Standing Advisory Committees are encouraged to submit their feedback through this method.
c. Reason for Amendment: The other Standing Advisory Committees have adopted the process of hosting community meetings to solicit stakeholder feedback on high-profile topics. This change brings the Charter revision process in-line with the work of the RCCC.
3. Staffing a. Current Statement: The Committee will be staffed by the new Project Director (who is a
neutral staff to the entire RCCC; p. 11 of the Meeting Packet). b. Proposed Amendment: The sub-committee will be staffed by the new RCCC Project
Management Services entity (who is a neutral staff to the entire RCCC). c. Reason for Amendment: The RCCC is not currently hiring a Project Director but instead
seeking an entity to provide Project Management Services.
4. Approval a. Current Statement: The group agreed to forward this proposed process to the N&S
Committee for consideration, after which it will be presented to the RCCC Board for final approval (p. 10 of the Meeting Packet).
b. Proposed Amendment: The review process with amendments will be approved by the N&S Committee.
c. Reason for Amendment: It is not necessary for the Board to approve working group processes.
