and provided options on how any premium might be used.  Discussion
ensued on the timing of the COP issuance and the need for legislation to
address any ambiguities in Senate Bill 20-219.  Cheri Gerou, State
Architect, provided input on the balance of the Emergency Controlled Maintenance
Account, and the requirements of Senate Bill 20-219 with respect to the
premium and this account.  Treasurer Young discussed some requirements
in federal law pertaining to the payments.

Ms. van Mourik summarized
what the decision items are with respect to the Senate Bill 20-219 premium.
