  In November of 1997, PML 97-041 invited all State 
  departments to participate in a review of printing trade 
  classes.  The intent of this review was to consolidate these 
  classes and better describe their future use within the 
  State.
  
  Ten user departments, along with representatives from the 
  Department of Personnel Administration (DPA) and the 
  California State Employees' Association, have formed a team 
  and met several times to achieve the above stated 
  objectives.  Minutes to these meetings have been written to 
  document the team's progress.  In order to facilitate 
  communication among all users of the State's printing 
  classes and keep departments informed, the team believes 
  that distribution of the meeting minutes would be 
  appropriate.  Attached you will find copies of the meeting 
  minutes compiled for the last five meetings.  They provide 
  information on what issues have been identified, what 
  alternative courses of action are available to address these 
  issues, and how the team might best proceed to achieve the 
  desired goals.
  
  Because not all departments may want to receive these 
  minutes on a continuing basis, the team is limiting future 
  distribution to only those departments that request updates.  
  If you or other staff in your department want future 
  minutes, complete the attached form and  
  return it to DPA.  Once received, a copy of the team's future minutes 
  will be sent to the address listed on the form.  Feel free to 
  disseminate this form to the managers in your department's printing 
  program.
  
  If you have any questions, please contact Daniel Tokunaga at 
  (916) 324-0433, Calnet 454-0433, or fax him at (916) 327-1886.
