Board member appointment terms for Rick Hanas, Mike Hill and Tomas Jimenez will expireon September 30, 2009. Mr. Hanas and Mr. Hill have expressed a desire for re-appointmentand have submitted appropriate paperwork to the Governor¶s office. Mr. Jimenez hadexpressed a desire for reappointment when the issue was addressed earlier in the year;however, the status of his paperwork is unknown. A motion was made and duly seconded

and unanimously passed to recommend to the full Board that Rick Hanas, Mike Hill andTomas Jimenez be supported in their desire for reappointment to the Board.

Bill Dresser addressed the development of a slate of officers for election at the upcomingJuly Board meeting. He stated that Mike Hill had expressed interest in the position of Chairman or Treasurer. Dick Kravitz had sent a letter to the Board in advance of thismeeting, expressing that due to the current economic situation and other unstable factors, itwould be prudent to keep the existing officers in place for continuity. Mr. Kravitz moved tokeep the current slate of officers for the upcoming year. The motion was seconded anddiscussion ensued. It was concluded that although the member-at-large position was electedby the Board, the slate would consist of the Chairman, Vice Chairman, Treasurer andSecretary. Due to some terms ending on September 30, if those members were elected to

serve as officers and were not re-appointed to the Board, a new slate of the affectedpositions would be put forth at that time. It was also noted that PRIDE Board memberscontinue to serve after term expiration until they have been re-appointed or a replacementhas been named. Dick Kravitz withdrew his original motion and restated the motion that, asexpressed in his letter to the Board, the committee should recommend to the full Board thatthe existing slate of officers (Jim Reeves, Chairman; Rick Hanas, Vice Chairman; Mike Hill,Treasurer; Bill Dresser, Secretary) be re-elected to their respective roles to serve for theupcoming year; and, the position of member-at-large would be determined separately; and, if those elected officers whose terms expire on September 30 are not re-appointed, then analternate candidate would be put forth at that time. The motion was duly seconded andunanimously approved. It was noted that this recommended slate does not exclude other Board members from being nominated for an officer position during voting at the Board

meeting.

Jim Reeves asked Secretary McNeil if he would be willing to speak with the Governor¶s officein support of the Board members whose terms expire September 30 th. The Secretary statedthat he had expressed his support for the reappointment of the four Board members andwould do the same for those whose terms expire in September.

There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 11:22 a.m.
