                 RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT/ANNUAL REPORT

 

 

 

                                                MEETING MINUTES

                                                            October 9, 2003

 

 

Present:  Kim Austen, Linda Starn, Jo Anne Myall

 

  1. Meeting called to order at 1:25 pm

 

  1. Minutes from previous meeting reviewed and approved.

 

  1. Kim had just downloaded a copy of the California Response to Domestic Violence Report that was reviewed by members. There was a discussion of easily read graphs in the report and how to present statistics in the best way, as on page 21 of the Domestic Violence report.

 

  1. Questions were brought up as to how we would report statistics per population for UCSC, Harbor Patrol and California State Parks, as all deal with a transient population.

 

  1. Linda will be meeting with her staff soon and would like to have individual reports by the next meeting in November, including the brief text write ups for each agency represented in the report. This includes non represented agencies, earlier assigned to members for follow up.

 

  1. Kim suggested we include a section on new bills related to Domestic Violence. If there is no room at the end of the report to do this, we could consider putting this information in the cover letter.

 

Meeting adjourned at 1: 55 pm

 

Next meeting: Thursday, November 13 at 12:15 pm.
