8.Approval of proposed 2023 Budget. (For Action)
Updates to the budget: We were notified of our IOLTA allocationfor 2023 so that has been updated. With that update, I also updated the staff line items to increase our PAI staff and the line item for the improvements at the new space in Bridger as the original $25,000 was extremely low. Finally, I reduced the amount we may receive this year from USVETS because that program has not officiallystarted yet.

IV.New Business
1.Approval of contract for architectural services from APTUS for remodel of the 4th Floor Bridger offices. (For Action)
2.Consider establishment of 2 new committees: Grievance Committeeand Membership Committee; take nominations for membership on committees. (For Discussion and Possible Action)
a.The GSP Committee is in the process of updating the bylawsand is considering a provision that will require removal of the board if a director misses 3 consecutive meetings or is excessively absent. To that end, this Board has discussedcreating a Membership Committee to discuss attendance.
b.The Grievance Committee is one of the required committees at NLS to take grievances from clients as well as employeespursuant to the Personnel Manual. I do not believe this committee has any current members, but I may be wrong. In any event, this committee does need to be populated with members and guidelines drawn up for the handling of clientand employee grievances.
