4. EPE Plans for FY13 (KL).  From Ophelia Cespedes, 4/2/12: The current performance management process has been on hold pending review by an City- Wide EPE task force per the Meet and Confer Agreement between HOPE and the City administration. Recently, the task force forwarded a recommendation to the Mayor for consideration, however, a new EPE process will not be in place until 2013. For this reason, Employee Performance Evaluations (EPE) will not be required for the current 2012 EPE cycle. In preparation for the new performance management process, employees must receive an EPE plan by the end of May. For HPL employees, the EPE plan deadlines are as follows:
1. Supervisor EPE plans must be reviewed with the employee, signed and received in HR no later than, Friday, April 27th
2. Non-supervisor EPE plans must be reviewed with the employee, signed and received in HR no later than, Friday, May 25th.

5. Questions/Discussion
1. KL: press release from Mayor’s Office about new FY budget: no job or service cuts planned.  Mayor’s 5 Priorities also posted in building lobby for the month.
2. PF: Sorter set up to backdate until 1 pm (when we open at 10 am) or 2 pm (when we open at noon).  Please make sure to finish the first two book drops of the day (including exceptions) before this cutoff so all items returned before we open are properly back dated.
3. NO: Be sure to use the Smart Money workaround saved on the desktop of the 1st floor computers when doing the deposit to generate the correct merchandise report.
