III. Public Comment: None (no one present)

IV. Office status

* Reviewed Impasse ’17 with Bolte. Currently 126 open.

* Cormack provided Legislative review. Will continue to examine appropriations for our agency and monitor how election costs will be paid for in the State.

* Revisited Board approval of ad hoc mediator fees for FY17. Fees are the same as FY16 and are as follows: 1) Trainee ($30 reimbursement rate); 2) 0-6 years of service ($45 reimbursement rate) and 3) 7+ years of service ($55 reimbursement rate). These rates were discussed and approved at a previous Board meeting in September. Cormack moved that this is accurate and verified this to be true on 4/3/17. Gannon seconded, unanimously approved.

* Budget update from Luttrell. Luttrell presented a new fiscal update on the status of the current PERB budget. At this time, the projection is that PERB will have $21,349.64 remaining in unspent reversion funds for this year. Should these remain unspent at the end of the fiscal year, they would revert back to the state general fund. PERB is projected to end the current fiscal year with an expected reversion of $27,591.97, which would return to the general fund and potentially have half of that sent back to the agency for use in the next fiscal year on approved training and technology uses.

* Approval for an additional chair purchase from IPI in the amount of $400.00, totaling $1,197.00, using T&T funds discussed. Cormack moved to approve total of $1,197.00 for purchase of 3 office chairs using Training and Technology funds, Van Fossen seconded; unanimously approved.

* Discussed PERB staff attending regional meetings to discuss HF 291 changes with constituents. Looking at beginning these in June ’17.

* The Board discussed needing to review and potentially approve a bid from Ricoh concerning a scanner services contract at their next meeting. It will be placed on the agenda for potential action at that meeting.
