Reappointments/Appointments
This was Jeff's topic for the agenda. This is a continuation of a discussion that was initiated in the fall of 2017. Current code sets the requirements for how many board members, the regional distribution of those members, and the mix of political affiliations, among other requirements. Jeff would like the board to discuss whether there is a problem, consider options, and then make recommendations to the Lottery. This would be for the 2020 legislation at the earliest. Rayelle, Shane, and Dennis shared their perspectives.

The conclusion to the discussion was that the Board's October agenda be specifically about options and ideas presented in an open public meeting and the Board's official recommendations be finalized and presented to the lottery.
