At the June 14, 2017, Committee meeting, Staff presented proposed revisions to Governance Process GP-7, to reflect the Board's request. With two minor changes, the Committee agreed with the proposed changes and requested that it be presented to the full Board for consideration.

Attachment 1 is a redlined version of GP-7 the reflects the language requested by the Board and approved by the Committee. Attachment 2 is a finalized copy of the revised GP-7 (with changes incorporated) for reference.
