“The Executive Vice President and General Counsel, the Executive Vice President – Corporate Services

Generation and I concur in the recommendation.”
Mr. Hoff presented the highlights of staff’s recommendations to the Trustees. Chairman McCullough
congratulated Mr. Hoff on a job well done with this report and Mr. Hoff said that all of the credit belonged to
Ms. Gil, Ms. Karaczewsky and Ms. Carmody. In response to a question from Trustee Cusack, Mr. Hoff said that
the newly enacted Government Employees Ethics Reform Act (the “Act”) would require that some minor changes
be made to the Authority’s procurement policy and guidelines. Mr. Kelly said that the Act signed by Governor
Spitzer was effective on April 25, 2007. He suggested that the language of the resolution for this item be changed
to authorize staff to make the necessary changes to the procurement policy and guidelines to reflect changes in
the law.
The following resolution, as submitted by the President and Chief Executive Officer, was adopted by a vote
of 6 to 1, with Trustee Moses abstaining.
