Dear Bruce

Attached is a new integrated Policy and Procedure regarding Split Collections.  I recommend that you or whoever conducts the November Board meeting ask the Board to approve it there. 

As you recall, when the Board approved a draft Procedure on Split Collections at their September meeting they attached a proviso that they wanted this new procedure combined with our policy on split collections.  After the meeting, however, I found no such policy; so I drafted a brief new policy on split collections and inserted it at the beginning of the longer procedure which the Board had already approved. 

I then submitted the combined policy and procedure for approval at the October Board meeting, which I did not attend, but I am told that the Board decided not to vote on it then because they did not realize it was an update-- they thought they had already approved it in September.

So, here it is for the November meeting.  The principal change since September is the insertion of a new draft policy in front of the procedure.  There are also a few minor revisions in the procedure portion of the package, but these are minor and not anything of likely interest to the Board.

May the Board's review proceed smoothly and successfully--

Helen
