During this discussion, we talked about possible ways to house the data from the SPIL to ensure granite staters have access to the tools. Also, about the need to have the SILC website be more interactive for the end user. Lisa Beck advised that this year was not likely given VR was required to send money back to ACL due to vendors not spending their contract limit. Lisa Beck will take the committee’s request back for consideration. Lisa advised there will be a budget meeting for VR in April.

Committee also questioned, what if anything is being sent to the governor’s office or the website based on this being a governor advisory committee. No one at this meeting was sure what, if anything was being sent. Assumptions made, minimally, the PPR should be made public.
Research needed to understand our requirement as a governor appointed council and obligations set within.

Motion to adjourn made by Deb Ritcey, second by Krystal Chase; motion passed unanimously.

Next meeting date: March 4, 2026 at 8:00am
