Discuss 2021 Meeting Schedule, Format, and Locations and Review Twelve-Month Planning Calendars INFORMATION ONLY
This item is for information only.
BACKGROUND Meeting Schedule, Format, and Locations The Committee is asked to review the proposed 2021 meeting schedule, format, and locations in preparation for action at the September meeting. The attached draft meeting calendar follows the pattern of meeting on the second Thursday of each month (except June, depending on the date of campus commencements), with the January and August meetings cancelled when circumstances permit. It proposes the July meeting, rather than the April meeting, for an annual retreat. It also shows potential meeting locations. It continues the Board’s practice of meeting on the Bothell campus in March and on the Tacoma campus in November. It does not propose meeting in Eastern Washington. The Board met in Spokane in September 2016 and in September 2019.
• The November 2021 Board meeting falls on Veterans Day, so the Board is asked to choose whether to meet on Tuesday and Wednesday (November 9 and 10) or on Wednesday and Friday (November 10 and 12).
The statutory basis for the Board’s calendar is Revised Code of Washington (RCW) 28B.20.105:
“The board shall hold regular quarterly meetings, and during the interim between such meetings the executive committee may transact business for the whole board: PROVIDED, That the executive committee may call special meetings of the whole board when such action is deemed necessary.”
Per Board of Regents Governance, Bylaws, Article IV, Section 1(a), the Governance Committee carries out the statutory functions of an executive committee. Twelve-Month Planning Calendars The Committee has recently adopted the practice of reviewing draft planning calendars for each standing committee and for the full Board at each meeting. In response to the Board’s wishes, staff have endeavored to put routine, noncontroversial items on consent and distributed agendas, when possible, so as to leave more time for important issues. Staff have also worked to improve and

standardize the content and rhythm of Board items. In addition, the Board is asked to note and evaluate the following changes:
• The attached agendas reflect the new capital planning process, in which a discussion of the Board’s long-term or five- to fifteen-year capital strategy in March precedes consideration of the five-year capital budget in May and June. Individual capital projects will now come to the Board for a single approval, absent any subsequent need to adjust the project budget or scope in accordance with the Board’s delegated authority, because inclusion on the annual capital budget is tantamount to the former one-stage approval. In addition, UW Medicine capital spending funded by University debt will be brought annually to the Board for approval, even if it does not rise to the $5 million level required for reporting or the $15 million level required for Board approval.
• Quarterly updates on the Finance Transformation project will be included in the Finance Report.
• Following the Board’s suspension of Internal Lending Program Financial
Stability Program requirements in June 2020 through the end of Fiscal Year 2021, on account of COVID-19 financial impacts to major internal borrowers and what is expected to be a dynamic situation for their finances, the Board will receive quarterly Borrower Risk Reports on internal borrowers.
• The annual operating and capital budget items will continue to present
conjointly in May and June, when possible.
• UW Medicine will continue to present a monthly CEO’s Report and its three annual reports: Finance in November, Compliance in March, and Patient Safety and Quality in June.
• Wednesday Regular meetings remain sites for in-depth discussion of
emergent issues.
• The Board will work with the Senior Vice President for Advancement, when one is chosen to determine the cadence of reporting to the Board. Until then, it will continue to receive the three customary annual reports (Report of Contributions, Return on Investment, and Benchmarking).
• Executive Risk & Compliance Officer Jane Yung plans to deliver an
enterprise risk management plan in February 2021. The Board will work with her to determine the cadence of reporting. At her recommendation, counsel plan to update the Board on ongoing or potential litigation in July and December, as permitted by the Open Public Meetings Act.
