• Add an Item to the agenda - Section V -Rule 9 -This section may need to be reconciled with the Board's framework for individual Commissioners petitioning the Board on an agenda item. The Board's Rules of Procedure currently state: (this was changed when board added two members) `The board may, by approval of four of its members, i.e. an affirmative vote equal to a quorum, add an item that is not on the agenda. Comment Because of the increased volume and oomple~dty of the matters they must consider, nearly all boards use an agenda. Some boards use an agenda only to organize the material they must consider and to give themselves an opportunity to study the issues before they meet. These boards generally allow last-minute additions to the agenda by general consent. This rule takes that approach. Other boards use their agenda to control the length of their meetings. Often a board that uses its agenda for this purpose will hold a work session before the regular meeting to ask questions and thoroughly e~lore the proposals that must be voted on at the regular meeting. Generally these boards take a stricter approach and do not allow late additions to the agenda unless an emergency e~asts. • Order of Business -Page 16 -Update to Current Order (when formally adopted) Public Charge -Page 17 -Change "citizens" and "citizen" to "residents" • or "resident" or "the public" • Others changes as needed.
