I ASK THE DALLAS COUNTY COMMUNITY COLLEGE DISTRICT TO PARTICIPATE IN THE STATE OF TEXAS, RENEWABLE ENERGY CO-OP, CALLED TREK.
TO PURCHASE UP TO ONE-HALF OF YOUR ELECTRICITY FROM RENEWAL ENERGY PLANTS.
TREK WAS DEVELOPED AND INTRODUCED BY SEEKO, WHICH IS THE STATE ENERGY CONSERVATION OFFICER.
AND THE COMPTROLLER IN NOVE NOVEMBER 2018 SPECIFICALLY TO MAKE IT EASY AND INEXPENSIVE FOR TAX SUPPORTED ENTITIES SUCH AS YOURSELF TO PURCHASE ELECTRIC POWER FROM RENEWABLE SOURCES AND BENEFIT FROM THE LOW-COST BENEFITBENEFITS IN THE STATE.
THE 3 CENTS PRICE IS HE LOWEST
[01:00:04]
OFFERED IN TEXAS SINCE DEREGULATION WAS STARTED.THAT RICE IS LOCKED IN FOR THE NEXT 12 YEARS.
THE CAPITAL COST TO PARTICIPANTS IS ZERO.
THE CAPITAL COST TO YOU IS ZERO.
THE DISTRICT'S CURRENT ELECTRICITY CONTRACT IS NOT EFFECTED AT ALL.
THE POWER OBTAINED THROUGH TREK WILL BE INCLUDED IN YOUR NEXT ELECTRICITY CONTRACT THAT YOU WILL SIGN WITH WHATEVER RETAIL ENERGY PROVIDER YOU SELECT.
POWER CONSULTING SERVICES ARE ALSO INCLUDED IN THE 3 CENTS ELECTRIC RATE.
THE TEXAS ENERGY AGRUGRATION WON THE BID WITH THE STATE TO PROVIDE CONSULTING SERVICES TO TREK PARTICIPANTS.
THEY ARE AVAILABLE TO MEET WITH YOUR STAFF TO EXPLAIN THE PROGRAM AND TO HELP GET IT INCORPORATED INTO YOUR NEXT ELECTRICITY CONTRACT.
THIS UNUSUAL STATE INITIATED ELECTRICITY PURCHASING OPPORTUNITY IS THE RESULT OF AGGREGATING POWER AND OBTAINING WHOLE SALE PRICING FOR THE RENEWABLE ENERGY.
BY WORKING TOGETHER, BOTH LARGE AND SMALL ENTITIES CAN BENEFIT FROM THE SAME LOW-COST ENERGY.

SMALL ENTITIES CAN AFFORD TO USE RENEWABLE ENERGY TODAY, MOVING US FASTER TOWARD THE GOAL OF HAVING A 100% RENEWABLE ENERGY GRID.I HOPE THE DISTRICT WILL ASSUME ITS LEADERSHIP ROLE IN THIS ENDEAVOR.
AND SIGN UP FOR THE TEXAS ENERGY CO-OP.
>> CHAIR D. FLORES: THANK YOU, MR. HOGS FOR THAT INFORMATION.
MS. MOLINA IF YOU CAN HAVE THE APPROPRIATE STAFF MEMBER GET MORE INFORMATION FROM HIM SO WE CAN EXPLORE POSSIBILITIES.
THANK YOU. CHANCELLOR AND BOARD ANNOUNCEMENTS.
>> CHANCELLOR MAY: THANK YOU VERY MUCH MADAM CHAIR, MEMBERS OF THE BOARD.
FIRST, LET ME JUST SAY WHAT A GREAT EVENING IT WAS.
GETTING TO SEE OUR PHI THETA KAPPA AND STUDENT GOVERNMENT ASSOCIATION AND LEADERS.
I WILL SAY THAT WE, SEVERAL REASONS WHY I APPRECIATE THESE GROUPS COMING FORWARD.
ONE, THEY ARE OUTSTANDING STUDENTS AND REPRESENT US WELL.
AND HEY WORK WITH OTHER STUDENTS TO MAKE OUR COLLEGES A BETTER PLACE FOR ALL.
BUT SECONDLY, ONE OF THE EASONS WHY AS A BORDURE PROMOTED THESE ORGANIZATIONS BECAUSE THEY TEND TO BE SUCCESSFUL BECAUSE THEY ARE ENGAGED IN CAMPUS LIFE IN A DIFFERENT WAY.
THEY COMPLETE TWICE THE LEVEL OF STUDENTS WHO LOOK EXACTLY LIKE THEM BUT ARE NOT ENGAGED IN PHI THETA KAPPA OR STUDENT GOVERNMENT ASSOCIATIONS AND DOUBLED UP.
BECAUSE THEY ARE ENGAGED IN IT ALL.
AS ONE OF THE INDIVIDUALS MENTIONED, ABOUT FIVE YEARS AGO, THE BOARD AGREED TO SET ASIDE DOLLARS TO PROVIDE SCHOLARSHIPS FOR STUDENTS WHO CAN'T AFFORD THESE ACTIVITIES.
AND WE ALSO UNDERWRITE PART OF THEIR TRAVEL YOU HEARD MENTIONED SO THEY CAN PARTICIPATE IN THE EVENT.
I CAN'T TELL YOU HOW MANY TIMES I HAD A STUDENT TELL ME IT WAS THEIR FIRST TIME ON A PLANE OR OF STATE.
SO THANK YOU FOR THAT SUPPORT.
LET ME ALSO TAKE A MOMENT TO NOTE THAT FORMER TRUSTEE DON, WHO RECENTLY PASSED AWAY, HE SERVED AS A MEMBER OF THE DCCCD FROM 1978 TO 1997, TWO TERMS AS BOARD CHAIR.
HIS MEMORIAL WAS HELD YESTERDAY I WOULD LIKE TO ASK THE BOARD AND THE AUDIENCE TO JOIN ME IN A MOMENT OF SILENCE TO REMEMBER HIS 19 YEARS ON THE DISTRICT.
LET ME TAKE A FEW MO MOMENTS FOA LEGISLATIV UPDATE.
AS WE GET NEAR THE THREE-WEEK MARK LEFT IN THE SESSION.
AS THAT IS COMING UP ON US, THERE IS A LOT OF THINGS HAPPENING ALL AT ONCE.
THE PROPERTY BILL TAX BILL PASSED THE HOUSE ON APRIL 30, 107-40.
AND WHAT THIS BECAME THEN THE SUBSTITUTE FOR SENATE BILL 2 IN
[01:05:02]
THE SENATE.IN THAT, LEFT US BASICALLY UNCHANGED WITH THE, WHILE OTHERS WERE CAPPED IN TERMS OF ROLL BACK, WE WERE LEFT AT 8%.
IT CHANGED A COUPLE OF THE THINGS IN THE BILL.
PREVIOUSLY THERE WOULD HAVE TO BE CITIZENS SIGN A PETITION TO GO FOR VOTE.
NOW IT WOULD BE MANDATORY ON ANY DOLLARS WE GO ABOVE THAT 8% CAP AND OBVIOUSLY THERE IS A PROCESS.
IN THE ORIGINAL SENATE BILL 2, WE REMAIN 3.5%.
WHICH WOULD COST $21 MILLION AT THAT BEEN IN AFFECT THE LAST SEVERAL YEARS.
CHAIRMAN TURNER, HIGHER EDUCATION COMMITTEE HAS GONE ON TELEVISION AND OTHER EVENTS TALK TO THE IMPORTANT OF COMMUNITY COLLEGES.
CHAIRMAN BURROWS, HAS CONTINUED TO ADVOCATE.
THE 8% FOR COMMUNITY COLLEGES.
WE'VE SEEN IN THE SPECIAL SESSION, SPEAKER BONNEN REMOVED COMMUNITY COLLEGES FROM THAT PARTICULAR BILL.
WE'LL WATCH AS WE GO THROUGH THIS PROCESS.
ONE OF THE GREAT, I BELIEVE, LANDMARK BILLS FOR HIGHER EDUCATION CERTAINLY THIS SESSION FOR THE FIRST TIME I BELIEVE WE'RE GOING TO BE ABLE TO SUCCESSFULLY GET THROUGH BOTH HOUSES, TRANSFER LEGISLATION THAT WILL SAVE STUDENTS DOLLARS, TTHE STATE OF TEXAS AND TAXPAYES DOLLARS AND ALLOW MORE STUDENTS TO COMPLETE THEIR EDUCATION IN LESS TIME.
IT PASSED UNANIMOUSLY ON THE SENATE FLOOR.
CERTAINLY, WE AND I APPRECIATE ISAAC FOZ HAS SPENT COUNTLESS HOURS REPRESENTING DALLAS AND ALL COMMUNITY COLLEGES IN MEETING WITH UNIVERSITIES AND OTHERS.
I WAS AT THE CAPITAL WITH MR. ADAMES AND STUDENTS FROM EL CENTRO FOR EL CENTRO COLLEGE DAY AT THE CAPITAL.
WITH JUST A GREAT GROUP OF STOFSTUDENTS.
REPRESENTATIVE RAMOS, AND RECOGNIZED OUR STUDENTS AND PRESIDENT AS WELL.
THE STUDENTS HAD THE CHANCE TO TOUR THE STATE CAPITAL AND HOUSE CHAMBER AND LEARN FROM REPRESENTATIVE RAMOS, WHO IS AN ADJUNCT FACULTY AT EL CENTRO ABOUT HOW GOVERNMENT WORKS.
HOPEFULLY IN THE FUTURE WE CAN EXPAND AND INCLUDE A MORE OPPORTUNITIES FOR STUDENTS TO TAKE A DAY AT HE CONTAMINATE.
WE CONTINUE TO EXPAND -- WE RECEIVED $250,000 GRANT FROM ADVANCED ROBOTICSES TO LAUNCH THE ACADEMY.
WHILE MILITARY PERSONNEL, PERMISSION CAN BE GRANTED TO BEGIN TRA TRAINING FOR P TO SIX MONTHS.
THEY GET TEMPORARY DUTY ASSIGNED TO THE COLLEGE TO GO TO SCHOOL DURING THEIR LAST SIX MONTHS IF THAT IS WORKED OUT IN ADVANCE.
THE INDUSTRY 4.0 ACADEMIC IS A VIRTUAL TRAINING SYSTEM, WHICH WILL ENABLE TRAINING TO OCCUR AT ANY BASE IN THE U.S.
WE'RE EXCITED TO BE PART OF THAT.
LATER TODAY, MADAM CHAIR, IF I COULD MAKE COMMENTS ABOUT MY RECOMMENDATION AT MOUNTAIN VIEW COLLEGE WHEN WE GET TO THAT POINT.
AS WE KNOW, THE DR. TOM CHESNEY, THIS WILL UNFORTUNATELY BE HIS LAST BOARD MEETING WITH US.
TOM WAS NAMED THE 16TH PRESIDENT AT CLARK CL IOWA.
HE'S BEEN WITH US AT BROOKHAVEN.
AND IT WAS MENTIONED EARLIER TODAY, THE P TECH AND EARLY COLLEGE HIGH SCHOOL, TOM LED THAT FOR THE ENTIRE DISTRICT.
AND WE WISH HIM THE BEST F LUCK.
JOIN ME IN CONGRATULATING HIM.
I HAVE AN AMAZING LEADERSHIP TEAM IN THE DISTRICT THAT MANY OF THEM JUST DAY IN AND DAY OUT
[B. Announcements from the Board Chair and/or Trustees]
PROVIDE GREAT GUIDANCE, LEADERSHIP, SUPPORT FOR ME AND THE BOAR BOARD.I WANT TO ACKNOWLEDGE ONE IN MY OFFICE WORKING AND GOING TO
[01:10:01]
COLLEGE AT THE SAME TIME.SHE RECENTLY RECEIVED HER DOCTORATE OF EDUCATION IN MANAGEMENT FROM CUPELLA UNIVERSITY.
>> CHANCELLOR MAY: THAT'S NOT EASY TO DO WORKING FOR ME.
WITH THAT, MADAM CHAIR, THAT CONCLUDES MY COMMENTS.
>> CHAIR D. FLORES: ANY TRUSTEESS HAVE ANY COMMENTS?
>> I WANTED TO THANK EL CENTRO AND THE CULINARY ARTS AND THE PROGRAM FOR BITS AND BITES.
IT KEEPS GETTING BETTER AND BETTER.
SECOND THING I WANT TO MENTION.
THERE WAS AN ELECTION LAST SATURDAY.
AND WE HAVE 1.1 -- ARE YOU GOING TO TALK ABOUT THIS?
>> CHAIR D. FLORES: CAN WE DISCUSS THIS DURING THIS TIME? IS THAT LEGALLY ACCEPTABLE?
1.1 MILL ARE BILLION REASONS TO BE HAPPY.
HAVING BEEN INVOLVED IN THE '04 IT'S A REFERENDUM ON THIS INSTITUTION.
FOR THIS COMMUNITY TO SUPPORT WITH 71% PLUS THE MISSION OF THE DALLAS COUNTY COMMUNITY COLLEGE DISTRICT AND ENTRUST US WITH THIS LEVEL OF RESOURCE IS FANTASTIC.
THANK YOU TO EVERYBODY WHO MAKES HAPPEN DAY IN AND DAY OUT FOR DCCCD.
THERE WERE A COUPLE OF FOLKS WHO WORKED ON THE CAMPAIGN.
THE DALLAS CITIZENS COUNCIL AND CHAMBER WERE VERY INVOLVED IN PROVIDING THE FINANCIAL RESOURCES TO GET THE STORY OUT.
ONE OF OUR DCCCD FOUND ACTION BOARD MEMBERS, CLINT, MANAGED THE RESOURCES FROM THAT POINT OF VIEW.
WE'RE THANKFUL TO THOSE WHO WORKED ON THE CAMPAIGN.
CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL OF YOU.
THIS COMMUNITY BELIEVES IN WHAT WE'RE DOING.
>> D. ZIMMERMANN: I WAS PRIVILEGED TO ATTEND AND BE ON STAGE FOR THE GRADUATION AT EASTFIELD COLLEGE.
WE HAD 922, YES, IT WAS AN ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL EVENING.
THERE WAS QUITE A FEW, A GENTLEMAN WHO WAS 74 YEARS OLD.
A LADY, SHE SAID, IT ONLY TOOK MY 20 YEARS. IT WAS VERY VERY EXCITING.
WE WERE ABLE TO HONOR A GENTLEMAN WHOSE LIFE HAD PASSED WITH HER DIPLOMA.
AT THAT POINT, WE KIND OF COVERED ALL THE GAMUT OF EMOTIONS.
THERE WAS THE EXCITEMENT AND THEN OF COURSE THE ULTIMATE LOSS.
IT SPEAKS TO THE VALUE PEOPLE HAVE FOR EDUCATION, WE WOULD HAVE COME AND SOUGHT TO GET THAT WHICH SHE HAD WORKED FOR.
SO SHE ENDED UP WITH HER DIPLOMA.
>> CHAIR D. FLORES: TRUSTEE WILLIAMS OR BRAVO?
>> M. BRAVO: I WANT TO SAY THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO WORKED ON THE MOUNTAIN VIEW COLLEGE SELECTION COMMITTEE.
I ATTENDED TO OF THE FORUMS WITH THE FINALIST OUT OF THE FOUR.
WHAT THE TWO I DID NOT MEET BUT READ ABOUT, THEY WERE EXCELLENT CANDIDATES.
THANK YOU TO WHOEVER SERVED ON THE COMMITTEE.
>> S. WILLIAMS: YEARS AGO WE THOUGHT RAISING MONEY ON THE BOND ISSUE WAS BIG.
450 MILLION. SEVERAL PEOPLE I KNOW, DID I SEE RIGHT, $1.1 BILLION? YOU ARE KIDDING.
MY FIRST TWO CALLS AFTER ELECTIONS CLOSED.
I THINK EACH OF YOU SITTING OUT HERE, YOU ARE LIKE US.
YOU HAVE SOMETHING TO BE PROUD OF.
>> CHAIR D. FLORES: I WANT TO ECHO WHAT TRUSTEE RITTER AND WILLIAMS SAID ABOUT THE BOND, WOO-HOO! BECAUSE OF THE HARD WORK THE STAFF DID IN ASSESSING WHERE WE ARE AND WHAT WE NEEDED AND COMING UP WITH A FIGURE THAT ALLOWED US O PASS THIS BOND
[01:15:02]
WITH NO INCREASE IN TAXES.SO THAT WAS QUITE AN ACCOMPLISHMENT.
THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO WORKED HARD TO GET THIS PUT BEFORE THE VOTERS, ALTHOUGH YOU COULDN'T TALK ABOUT IT ONCE YOU PUT OUT THE INFORMATION.
TO THOSE WHO WORKED ON IT, THANK YOU SO MUCH.
AND ECHO WHAT TRUSTEE BRAVO SAID, THANK YOU TO DR. ADAMES FOR LEADING THE SEARCH COMMITTEE.
IT IS NEVER EASY BUT THANK YOU FOR WHAT YOU DID.
SO THEN, I HAVE A FEW MORE ITEMS HERE.
TRUSTEE JAMESON AND CHANCELLOR MAY SUBMITTED A ROPOSAL REGARDING THE $1.1 BILLION BOND.
SHOULD THEY DECIDE TO GO OUT FOR A BOND ELECTION.
SO DR. MAY WILL LET US KNOW IF THE PROPOSAL S ACCEPTED AND THEN WE KNOW WHETHER OR NOT THAT WILL FOR SURE BE A SESSION ON THE CONGRESS THAT WILL HAPPEN IN OCTOBER.
SO ALSO THERE, THEY ARE PRECONGRESS ACADEMIES.
ONE THAT DREW MY ATTENTION WAS THE ONE HELD ON POLICY GUIDELINES FOR FISCAL HEALTH AND MANAGEMENT.
NOW THAT WE PASSED THIS BOND, FOR THOSE TRUSTEES THAT WANT TO UNDERSTAND THE PROCESSES AND HAVE A MORE OF A COMFORT LEVEL IN TERMS OF MOVING FORWARD ON GETTING THE BONDS FINANCED AND HOW THAT WORKS WITH THE BUDGET, ET CETERA, I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO ATTEND.
AND IF YOU CAN'T ATTEND, AND ASKED BAY LATO INQUIRE OF A.C.
C.T. AT ANY EXPERTS IN FINANCE PARTICULARLY AS IT RELATES TO COMMUNITY COLLEGES AND BONDS SO THE BOARD CAN HAVE A WORK SESSION ON THIS AND GET A GREATER COMFORT LEVEL AS WE MOVE FORWARD WITH THE ADMINISTRATION OF THE BOND DOLLARS TO COVER THE AREAS WE SAID WE WANT TO COVER.
WE'LL HAVE A BRIEF MEETING ON TUESDAY MAY 14, 10 A.M. TO CANVAS THE VOTE FROM THE BOND ELECTION.
WE ASK THREE OTHER BOARD MEMBERS COME THAT DAY, NEXT TUESDAY.

I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO JOINING THE MOUNTAIN VIEW AND -- BUT I LEARNED A LESSON OF HOW TO SAY DCCCD, IT WAS D TRIPLE CD I WAS TAUGHT WHEN I WAS WAITING WITH THE STUDENTS.

SO I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO JOINING THE FAMILY.
I AM SURE TOGETHER WE CAN CONTINUE TO IMPOWER PEOPLE AND TRANSFORM COMMUNITIES.
THANK YOU AGAIN FOR THE OPPORTUNITY.
>> CHAIR D. FLORES: WELCOME ABOARD.
>> CHAIR D. FLORES: TRUSTEE ZIMMERMANN, YOU HAD A QUESTION ON 8C1?
LOOKING AT THIS ONE, WE'VE LOST TWO MORE POLICE OFFICERS.
I'M VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH THAT.
WE SEEM TO BE LOSING POLICE OFFICERS.
[01:25:01]
BUT ALSO -->> I WOULD BE HAPPY TO COMMENT ON THAT.
RIGHT NOW THE DALLAS POLICE DEPARTMENT HAS 700 OFFICERS SHORT.
THEY JUST DID A SIGNIFICANT SALARY INCREASE WHICH WE WILL HAVE TO REVIEW OUR SALARIES.
FRANKLY IMPACTING ABILITY DUE TO THE SHORTAGE O MAINTAIN OFFICERS.
WE'RE WORKING WITH UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS DALLAS, OUR COLLEGES WITH THE DALLAS POLICE CHIEF HALL, TO REALLY ADDRESS SOME OF THE ISSUES.
IT IS SYSTEMIC, IT'S NOT UNIQUE TO WHAT WE'RE HERE.
WE APPRECIATE YOU BRINGING THAT UP AND OFFICERS THAT ARE ON BOARD BUT UNDERSTAND WE RESPECT THEIR DECISIONS HOW THEY CAN BEST MEET THE NEEDS OF THEIR FAMILY.
WE WANT TO BE THE EMPLOYER OF CHOICE BUT THOSE CONVERSATIONS WE NEED TO HAVE IN THE NEAR AND IMMEDIATE FUTURE.

>> CHAIR D. FLORES: THANK YOU,
[9. Policy Items - First Reading]
TRUSTEE ZIMMERMANN.>> CHANCELLOR MAY: LET ME DO THIS IN THE EXCITEMENT HERE.
>> CHANCELLOR MAY: DID AN OUTSTANDING JOB AND CERTAINLY SHE'LL BE THE ROLE UNTIL JULY 1.
BUT WE REALLY COULDN'T HAVE GOTTEN THROUGH THE PERIOD WITHOUT HER SO THANK YOU SO MUCH.
>> CHAIR D. FLORES: THANK YOU, DR. DAVIS.
WITH THAT, WE'RE AT THE INFORMATIVE REPORTS.
ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS ON THE INFORMATIVE REPORTS?
ON 9F, I KNOW IT'S HE FIRST READING BUT THERE IS QUESTIONS.
IT LOOKS AS IF WE'RE TRYING TO CHARGE FOR TRANSCRIPTS.
I THINK WE TALKED ABOUT THAT IN THE WORK SESSION.
BUT WE'RE NOT GOING TO BE CHARGING FOR TRANSCRIPTS, RIGHT?
>> IN OCTOBER OF 2018, THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES APPROVED A CONTRACT WITH CREDENTIAL SOLUTIONS.
WE ARE TRYING TO DISCOURAGE STUDENTS FROM REQUESTING PAPER TRANSCRIPTS.
CREDENTIAL SOLUTIONS IS A PROVIDER, EXTERNAL PROVIDER.
WE ARE WORKING WITH ANOTHER VENDOR, GREEN LIGHT, TO PROVIDE ELECTRONIC, FREE TRANSCRIPTS.
OUR UNIVERSITY PARTNERS DO NOT WANT PAPER TRANSCRIPTS BY AND LARGE BECAUSE WE'RE INCREASING THE NUMBER OF TRANSFER STUDENTS TO THOSE INSTITUTIONS ND MOST EMPLOYERS REQUEST ELECTRONIC TRANSCRIPTS AS WELL.
WE HAVE A CONTRACT THROUGH OCTOBER OF 2019 THROUGH CREDENTIAL SOLUTION.
THIS POLICY CHANGE WAS MADE GENERIC SO WE CAN WORK WITH ANY VENDOR WE CHOSE TO PROVIDE TRANSCRIPTS TO OUR STUDENTS.
>> CHAIR D. FLORES: AGAIN, THE GOAL IS NOT TO CHARGE STUDENTS FOR TRANSCRIPTS?
>> CHANCELLOR MAY: WELL THE GOAL IS -- THE GOAL IS FRANKLY A NOMINAL FEE, NOT TO RAISE REVENUE.
FRANKLY TO DISCOURAGE PAPER TRANSCRIPTS BECAUSE WE ISSUED 146,000 PAPER TRANSCRIPTS LAST YEAR.
AND AS HEARD, MOST INSTITUTIONS
[01:30:02]
OR EMPLOYERS DON'T WANT THEM IN PAPER FORMAT, OUT OF HABIT PEOPLE CONTINUE TO REQUEST THEM EVEN THOUGH WE HAVE OTHER OPTIONS AVAILABLE.WE WANT TO ENCOURAGE THOSE TO USE THE OTHER OPTIONS, SINCE THAT IS THE PREFERENCE.
>> THE NOMINAL FEE IS $5, WHICH IS HALF OF WHAT MOST UNIVERSITIES AND COLLEGES CHARGE FOR SIMILAR PAPER TRANSCRIPTS OR ANY.
>> CAN WE SET IT UP SO ELECTRONIC ARE FREE AND THEY ONLY PAY FOR PAPER?
>> THAT IS WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN.
THE IDEA IS WE REALLY WANT TO ENCOURAGE THAT.
[10. Informative Reports]
IT'S FASTER.BELIEVE IT OR NOT, PAPER COST PEOPLE JOBS EVERY DAY BECAUSE IT TAKES TOO LONG.
IT TAKES SOMETHING TO GET LOST IF IT'S MORE THAN 72 HOURS TO ARRIVE.
ELECTRONIC IS INSTANT AND WE WANT TO ENCOURAGE THAT.
>> THE VENDOR WE SELECTED YOU APPROVED PROVI
