ORDA Board Meetings

I have no idea how one gets a board to "commit funds" without stating, for the record, the amount of cash needed and what it's going to be used for.

ORDA governance is a mystery to me.

This is text from Draft minutes.
#407 Resolution Approving and Adopting an Open Data Policy Pursuant to Executive Order 95 On a motion by Mr. Lussi, seconded by Mr. Lack.
Ms. Crew explained that EO 95 is focused on using technology to improve citizen engagement. As part of the Open Data NY effort, the types of information shared under this policy would include events calendars, maps of the mountains, attendance numbers, and bid information. She noted that the bid information would be particularly helpful, as that is the type of request often associated with FOIL. A data coordinator will be designated to compile and publish the information, and Ms. Munro asked if that was anticipated to require another staff person. Presently the effort is planned to be done by existing staff.

Its also interesting that only one person on the bOARDa ask questions, every county in the state can have a seat..... At least we have a skier on the board

I'm not sure what rules govern ORDA meetings, but other agencies don't publish documents until after the meeting. I'm thinking the amounts they were committing were stated in documents, which may be available publicly a few days after the meeting. That's how the agencies I'm familiar with operate.

Doesn’t make him a bad man. C’mon man.
Obviously you know nothing of the past, so go ahead and give Mike a pat on the back. Mike is the epitome of many a state workers (and now an ORDA Authority CEO-meaning NO STATE OVERSIGHT), through and through; show me the money!!
He'll tell you everything that you want to hear, and do exactly the opposite as long as it benefits him.

Yup, relatively new to what’s been up at Gore and ORDA. Sounded like he knew more about snowmaking than the last ORDA CEO appointed, Patrick Barrett of Avis fame.
