1. Chairman’s Report of Approved Travel: Barry Wallerstein, Executive Officer, reported that Chairman Burke approved a request for Cynthia Verdugo-Peralta to travel to Vancouver, British Columbia on July 8-12 to attend a reception with Ballard and attend the California Fuel Cell Partnership meeting. Also, Vice Chair Norma Glover has been approved to travel to Lake Tahoe, CA to attend the CCEEB seminar. Dr. Wallerstein stated that last month Dr. Burke requested staff to review the method in which his travel to Sacramento to attend monthly CARB Board meetings is reported.
