8. Review MOU

Michelle Long Dixon reviewed the MOU between the Council and the AIDS Office, stating the MOU was a living document used in the daily relationship between the Council and the Grantee. The goal is to add detail and to develop language in the MOU that promotes clarity and helps to avoid conflict in carrying out the daily relationship between the two bodies.
Michelle Long Dixon suggested creating a new MOU when the new Council Co-chairs are elected in October, and suggested having a process for annual review. The agreement should also include how the Grantee interfaces with the new Director.

CM Thomas suggested devoting an I and P Committee meeting to discuss the MOU once the new Director is hired. Also, the Co-chairs should have an exit interview to talk productively about what was effective and what was not.
Michelle Long Dixon suggested having a place where the Grantee can evaluate the Council, either in a conversation or in writing.

9. Next meeting date & agenda items
CM Benham suggested that the Committee begin a process for adopting a written policy on conflict of interest.
CM Pugh stated she would look into finding an attorney to volunteer to address the roles of Council members around conflict of interest.
