The Council of Great Lakes Governors (CGLG) which serves as Secretariat to the Regional Body and the Compact Council indicated that less than 30 days notice is given for these special meetings because the sole substantive focus will be to vote on a budget resolution for both organizations for the second quarter of FY 2010 (October 1-December 31, 2009). Pursuant to the By-Laws of the Compact Council, the budget serves as authorization for the Executive Director to make expenditures on behalf of the Compact Council. The current budget resolution providing such authorization will end on September 30, 2009, and a new budget resolution must be approved to allow expenditures thereafter.
