- Zoom mechanics briefing for Owners:
- -- We've muted all participants upon entry to minimize background noises that will allow everyone to clearly hear the current speaker; We're asking that you please use the chat tool or raise your hand in order to ask a question.
- -- We do have an Owners Forum section planned in the meeting, so post your questions along the way and if we don't get to them in real time, we'll be sure to cover them in that section of the Agenda.
- -- Turning your video on is not required, but in this time of disconnection, we would love to see your faces and we encourage you to use the video tool if you are able.
- -- If you have a comment or suggestion that doesn't need discussion but you want to pass something along to us, the chat tool is great for that as well. Or, you are welcome to email the board at [email protected] with any additional thoughts or questions after this meeting.

ACTION/INTENTION: Board members are aware of the Cost Control Policy and discussion of whether changes are needed. Orientation to the Accounts Payable Process.
The current Cost Control Policy was updated September 8, 2018 but was not formally approved by the Board so a vote is needed to approve it. In practice, we have been more strict about financial approvals than the policy states as we work to minimize spending.
