Offer clear charge to ABC when establishing or offering new task(s). 2. Outline responsibilities of the ABC and membership on the ABC. Set realistic tasks for ABC to accomplish. 3. Provide a periodic opportunity for evaluation and review the success of each ABC. Make changes to charge, responsibilities, or membership when it is appropriate. 4. Check for the full support and understanding of BOCC to establish an ABC. 5. Provide an avenue for continued dialogue between BOCC and ABC. a. BOCC agrees to: / Clarify ABC tasks and provide clear answers when asked. / Communicate back to ABC when BOCC has not taken ABC advice. Explain the reasoning. b. ABC agrees to: / Seek clarity from BOCC when needed. 6. Clarify BOCC's membership role on ABC. It is as a liaison, not to set direction or give the answer. 7. Establish clear guidelines about staff' role as `support' to ABC. What does support mean? Who can ask staff to undertake work? In what amounts? 8. Timing of advice from ABC and staff needs to be coordinated so BOCC has both sets in a timely manner and can use to make informed decisions.
