Commissioner Gordon said that it is a good idea not to add things to the agenda at the last minute. She recommended taking the stricter approach and not allow late additions unless an emergency exists. Commissioner Jacobs said that if anything is to be added, then the Chair should bring it up at the beginning of the agenda. Commissioner Gordon said that the way it is written is fine. Commissioner Yuhasz said that the Chair and Vice-Chair can be dictatorial but there should be some procedure where the full Board can override the Chair and Vice-Chair. Chair Pelissier agreed that there should be a procedure. .Commissioner Yuhasz suggested that if an item has been petitioned by a Board member and the Chair and Vice-Chair review it and decline to put it on the agenda, the item can be added to the next immediate agenda by a majority vote of the Board. It would have to go through the process first. Back to yellow sheet: * Consent Agenda - Items to include or exclude by custom Commissioner Jacobs said that there should be some parameters as to what goes on the consent agenda by amount, or if previously discussed by Board and not agreed upon. If something is of significant public interest, it should not be on the consent agenda. Chair Pelissier said that it sounds like a lot of work to come up with criteria when any item can be pulled off the consent agenda. Commissioner Yuhasz agreed. Chair Pelissier said that she is not hearing a majority for adding criteria. Commissioner Jacobs said that he would argue for keeping things off the agenda so that people know they exist, because they indicate things that the Board might not ever otherwise be able to publicize. Commissioner Gordon said that this item will not be finished this afternoon, so she would like to bring up i#em #4 on the agenda. Commissioner McKee left at 4:27 PM. 4. Creation of a General Policy for Board of County Commissioner Advisory Boards Commissioner Gordon asked about Page 2 of 13 at the bottom. Regarding Section III, Membership, and the qualifications, she asked Donna Baker to send what the facilitators had given the Board. She said that it seems that the Board discussed things that are not listed here. She thought that there was a discussion that members should not owe any taxes in Orange County or be convicted of any felonies. She asked if anyone else remembered this. John Roberts said that this is a draft only and it could be added. There were a number of things that were discussed but not included because there was no consensus.
