aL <br />Excerpt from April 14, 2009 approved minutes <br />APPROVED 5/5/2009 <br />MINUTES <br />ORANGE COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS <br />WORK SESSION <br />April 14, 2009 <br />7:00 p.m. <br />3. Hold occasional daytime work sessions (to ease burden on staff and others <br />of evening commitments) <br />Commissioner Yuhasz said that this is a good idea, but has not received much <br />SUppOtk. He SUggeSted looking at something quarterly to see how this would work. <br />,. <br />`SSI0112f GOfdOn Said that she would like for the Board to try and work <br />smarties and make better use of 6~sting meetings time before adding daytime meetings. <br />Commissioner Hemminger said that there have been so many meetings lately; it <br />would be difficult to try and find a quarterly meeting during the daytime. <br />Chair Foushee said that she would not like to hold a daytime meeting unless all <br />County Commissioners could attend. She would not like for a Commissioner to have to <br />choose between work and elective duties. <br />Commissioner Nelson said that holding meetings during the day limits the people <br />that can run for this office. He said that he would not be able to attend a meeting during <br />the day. <br />Commissioner Gordon agreed with Chair Foushee. <br />Chair Foushee said that rather than say the Board would never do that, as the <br />Board changes, there may be changes on this subject. <br />Commissioner Yuhasz said that as long as there is no policy against holding day <br />meetings, then the option remains open. He suggested deleting this one. <br />The Board agreed to delete this item. <br />Commissioner Jacobs pointed out that some people work at night and have <br />conflicts with night meetings. Chair Foushee agreed and said that the Board should be <br />considerate of certain schedules. <br />
