4 <br />from indulging their passion if it coincides. He suggested putting a term limit on the <br />number of consecutive years a Board member can reserve a particular board. <br />Commissioner Jacobs agreed with Commissioner Yuhasz and he suggested one <br />term in office, four years, and it should be retroactive for those serving, <br />Commissioner Yuhasz said that the Board of Health is typically athree-year term <br />and would be a reasonable term limit. <br />Commissioner McKee said that he liked it this year but he had no prior <br />experience and he respected other's areas. He said that there were plenty of boards to <br />choose from and he did not feel shorted. <br />Chair Pelissier said that with the decrease in the number of boards, it narrowed <br />the pool. She said that if the County Commissioners keep two, then there is less to <br />choose from. She said that she purposely only kept one and left more for others to <br />choose from. <br />Commissioner Gordon likes the current system but suggested that, as a <br />compromise, one possibility would be for each member to only keep one board. She <br />said that this affects her the most because she will lose one of the transportation <br />boards. She said that the retroactive piece is not fair to the senior members. <br />Commissioner Gordon said that she has heard three options: <br />- Each County Commissioner keeps two boards (current system) <br />- Retroactively limit the term to three years <br />- Keep one board <br />Chair Pelissier suggested narrowing this down to two options today. <br />Commissioner Jacobs said that the current system is an improvement to what <br />they had in the past. He made reference to the retroactive issue and said that he has <br />been on this Board for 13 years and he has never had the opportunity to do <br />transportation because Commissioner Gordon will not let go. He said that this is not fair <br />because he has an interest too. He said that the more people that have knowledge of <br />different things on the Board, the stronger the Board will be. <br />Commissioner Yuhasz said that he appreciated Commissioner Cordon's <br />concerns and he suggested choosing one board now, and be able to keep it for a term <br />limit; and all else goes into the pot. <br />Commissioner McKee asked about the time limits and Commissioner Yuhasz <br />said that the one board would not be retroactive and the other board would be <br />retroactive. <br />Commissioner McKee said that he has a concern about doing afree-for-all. He <br />said that a compromise would be to choose one and repeatedly choose one if there was <br />a particular interest. <br />Commissioner Yuhasz said that it does not seem fair for one Board member to <br />hold on to a particular outside board for as long as they are in office. There should be <br />turnover at some point. He would suggest putting a time limit on the number of years to <br />ensure this turnover. <br />Commissioner Gordon said that she does think they should have an opportunity <br />to stay on a board for a long time, since otherwise she would never have been able to <br />accomplish what she did for regional transportation. For example, she worked on the <br />joint MPO Long Range Transportation Plan which won a national award not long ago. <br />
