Att. 2 B. Discussion 1. Municipal Contributions for 2023 Tara said that under the revised contracts with NYFS partner municipalities, increases in their contributions are tied to the CPIU. Due to inflation, that index is now at 7%. That may be too much to ask partners who are also experiencing the effects of inflation. However, Tara said it would be appropriate to ask for some form of increase. She asked board members who sit on city councils to bring this issue up with their city and said they can copy either Jon or Roberta on those emails during Tara's absence. 2. Stay the course with NETS Tara also noted that the NETS program is included in the 2022/2023 budget. Covid had an extremely negative affect on the program's ability to operate and generate revenue. Because of community need, the decision was made not to cut the program and see if it would rebound in a new format once Covid restrictions eased. Currently the NETS program is rebounding under the new fiscal model and it is expected that both the middle school and high school cohorts will have waiting lists. Erich suggested that the agency create a white paper outlining the history of NETS and options regarding the current and future state of the program. C_ Equity Statement Draft In the interest of ending the board meeting on time, this item was tabled to the April board meeting. IX.
