Petitions to the Board by Board Members- Process for Commissioners <br />to Place an Item on a Regular Board Meeting Agenda <br />Excerpt from the Approved Minutes from the March 15, 2011 BOCC Regular <br />Meeting: <br />4-I. Process for a Member of the Board of Commissioners to Place an Item <br />on a Meeting Agenda <br />The Board approved the process for a member of the Board of Commissioners to <br />place an item on a Board meeting agenda indicating a petition could be either <br />stated orally or in written form and there is not a vote but it goes through the <br />process of review by the Chair/Vice ChairlManager. Each Board member will <br />then be given three minutes total for petitions. The Board then directed staff to <br />incorporate the necessary changes into the Board's Rules of Procedure and the <br />agenda face sheets for regular -Board meetings <br />Decision Point <br />• Does-the Board want to continue with the adopted process for Petitions to <br />the Board by Board Members as stated above or revise this process? <br />2. Joint Meetings with other Parties <br />Currently, the Board meets with elected governing boards as well as internal <br />boards and commissions on an annual basis. It recently has been suggested to <br />meet with other entities (such- as the Fire Chiefs/Fire Department Board Chairs) <br />to discuss a particular, time sensitive issue (Fire/EMS Study) and/or elected <br />officials to discuss an on-going topic (Rogers Road Mitigation). <br />Decision Points: <br />Does the Board want to meet on an as-needed basis with these groups <br />when a particular issue arises since there is no public comment at work <br />sessions? <br />• Are there criteria to be applied? <br />
