Commissioner Jacobs suggested that the other option be that each Board member has <br /> one committee with limits. <br /> Commissioner Gordon suggested that one option be to not change the process. <br /> Commissioner Yuhasz suggested an option that each Board member can keep two <br /> boards with limits. <br /> Commissioner Jacobs suggested that the limits of being on a committee should be <br /> within a County Commissioners' term so that there is some turnover. <br /> Commissioner Yuhasz suggested bringing this back to a work session with all in <br /> attendance. <br /> Commissioner Gordon made reference to the current policy for the selection process <br /> and the way it works for the veterans and the lease senior members. There needs to be more <br /> discussion about the first three bullets before figuring out the rest of the process. <br /> Chair Pelissier said that this would be put on a work session sometime this fall. <br /> Donna Baker said that before this gets put back on the agenda, she will send it out to <br /> all County Commissioners to be sure that everything is captured. <br /> 3. County Commissioners: Discussion on Various Board Procedures <br /> Decision Points for BOCC <br /> 1. Petitions to the Board by Board Members- Process for Commissioners to <br /> Place an Item on a Reqular Board Meetinq Aqenda. <br /> Excerpt from the Approved Minutes from the March 15, 2011 BOCC Regular Meeting: <br /> 4-I. Process for a Member of the Board of Commissioners to Place an Item on a <br /> Meeting Agenda <br /> The Board approved the process for a member of the Board of Commissioners to place an <br /> item on a Board meeting agenda indicating a petition could be either stated orally or in <br /> written form and there is not a vote but it goes through the process of review by the <br /> Chair/Vice Chair/Manager. Each Board member will then be given three minutes total for <br /> petitions. The Board then directed staff to incorporate the necessary changes into the <br /> Board's Rules of Procedure and the agenda face sheets for regular Board meetings. <br /> Decision Point: <br /> - Does the Board want to continue with the adopted process for Petitions to the <br /> Board by Board Members as stated above or review this process? <br /> The Board agreed by consensus to keep this procedure in place. <br /> 2. Joint Meetinqs with other Parties <br /> Currently, the Board meets with elected governing boards as well as internal boards and <br /> commissions on an annual basis. It recently has been suggested to meet with other <br /> entities (such as the Fire Chiefs/Fire Department Board Chairs) to discuss a particular, <br /> time-sensitive issue (Fire/EMS Study) and/or elected officials to discuss an ongoing topic <br /> (Rogers Road Mitigation). <br />
