Treasures report was explained and an example was handed out for all members to examine. Victorina Blanco made a motion to accept this report and the estimates of the report. All were in agreement. The Program Budget for 2003 was handed out for all members to examine. Each line was explained on the budget to understand clearly where the money was being spent and how. One question was asked about the budget, by Nadia Romano " Does all the money get spent in one year and if not where does the remainder of the funds go if there are any left over at the end of the year." Tere Keller- Amaya explained that the unused portion of the funds are returned to the Federal Government unless a project had been started and in progress and is in need of the funds. No more questions were asked, and the meeting proceeded. An Application for Federal Assistance was presented and handed out to all members to examine. It was asked that the Policy Council approve the application to be sent for the continued education and training of present staff, which would include tuition and books along with other necessities to further the education of staff. A motion was presented by Judith Corrales to approve the application and all members were in agreement. Tere Keller-Amaya proposed a change for the upcoming year 2004 on behalf of the pre-school, to continue through out the year to help further along the education of the 4 to 5 year olds in hopes to get them ready for kindergarten. If this is a possibility she will write up the procedures and hours as well as plan it into the budget. All agreed that this would be a good idea and for her to investigate further on this plan. Tere Keller-Amaya asked all members for input on the months and days and hours of the centers for the upcoming year. Olathe Migrant Seasonal Head Start suggested February through November from 6:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. However in the first three months the hours could be shorter (7:30 to 4:30), and in the middle of summer, June, July, August and September the 6:00 — 6:00 schedule should be in effect. If this is not possible then at least have the center open at 6:00 a.m. to whatever time is agreed upon. Grand Junction Migrant Seasonal Head Start suggested February through November as well, however they suggested that the school stay open later in the evening the morning hours in effect now were fine for them. Tere said she would take all this information and plan for the next year budget wise. Leticia Galindo held elections for the Western Slope, Chair Person, Co-Chair Person, Secretary, and Treasurer.
