County Commissioners: Boards and Commissions -Annual Summaries <br />8 Chair Pelissier said that these are summaries and work plans for their boards and <br />9 commissions. She said that she would like for the County Commissioners to consider writing <br />10 a letter to each board thanking them and acknowledging the positive work they have done <br />11 for the County. She said that the work plans are there for the County Commissioners to <br />12 review and they are in line with the Board of County Commissioners' priorities. <br />13 Commissioner Hemminger said that she liked the Quick Reports and she liked <br />14 reading these summaries. <br />15 Commissioner Jacobs said that it would be helpful to have had department heads <br />16 here to respond to questions. <br />17 Chair Pelissier said that she has some questions about the state mandated boards <br />18 because they are not advisory boards. She is not sure how the County Commissioners <br />19 should be responding to these boards and maybe it is just a matter of accepting their reports <br />20 since the County Commissioners meet with them annually. <br />21 Commissioner Foushee made reference to the Social Services Board and said that <br />22 the Board of County Commissioners has a relationship with these boards because of <br />23 funding. In some cases, the BOCC has some control because of the budget. <br />24 Commissioner Yuhasz said that the goal was to have less departmental staff <br />25 involvement and then speak to the chairs instead of staff. He thinks that these kinds of <br />26 boards need to be treated a little differently. <br />27 Commissioner Gordon said that she appreciated the reports, but she thought the <br />28 Board was going to be able to give feedback tonight. <br />29 Commissioner Jacobs said that he is comfortable with having the chairs to come <br />30 represent their boards but there has sporadically been an annual meeting with board chairs <br />
