COUNCIL CHARTER - Steve Schafer

Mr. Schafer informed the council that the latest version of the charter, dated June1, 1999, provided for additional members of the council. As drafted, the following members would be added: Workers' Compensation Court Administrator; Supreme Court Administrator; Legislative Fiscal Office director; and a representative of the Department of Education. The charter will be presented to the NITC for their approval at their meeting on June 29, 1999. Mr. Schafer asked if there was any discussion on the charter.

Mr. Moore observed that there didn't appear to be representation from non-code agencies. Discussion ensued about how to get non-code agency representation.
