The new Owner's Representative staff members were introduced to the PPFD
Board, which included Heath Gardner, Jake Hartwig, and Brooklyn Jefferson from
the Wenaha Group.
Discussion of Owner's Representative Roles, Responsibilities, &
Expectations
Mr. Gardner led discussion including eliciting the hopes and expectations of the
PPFD Board to which each PPFD Board member shared their thoughts.
Mr. Gardner introduced a draft hand-out of a "PPFD — Aquatics Stakeholder
Register." It included stakeholders involved and project activities as a model for
explicitly defining and setting roles and responsibilities. After discussion, Mr.
Gardner indicated that he would update the document. Mr. Watkins suggested the
PPFD Board formally adopt the register at the next PPFD Board meeting
scheduled for June 20th. He noted that additional discussion on approvals for
certain expenditures may require authority to be granted to the Executive Director.
