last meeting there were some very small agreements that were not significant to the operation <br /> of the Board that still have to come back and be approved. The suggestion was to look at <br /> some different criteria to determine the important intergovernmental agreements that should <br /> come back to the Board for approval. <br /> Commissioner Foushee suggested tabling this until the staff can bring back proposed <br /> language that amends this. <br /> The Board agreed that its current process needed to change but to table this <br /> item at this time and ask staff to bring back with amended language for further <br /> discussion. <br /> Cancellation of meetings <br /> Donna Baker said that the issue was brought up about when meetings are cancelled <br /> and how this should be done. <br /> Commissioner Jacobs said that the Board should be polled in order to cancel a <br /> meeting rather than leadership making the decisions. <br /> The Board agreed that the Clerk would poll the full Board before a meeting is <br /> canceled. <br /> Commissioner Gordon asked for staff to come back with suggestions on how to better <br /> utilize reuse work sessions. <br /> Agenda Item 2. Creation of a General Policy for Board of County Commissioners' <br /> Advisory Boards <br /> Chair Pelissier said that this was discussed at the retreat that was facilitated by the <br /> School of Government last spring. <br /> John Roberts said that everything in here has been agreed to by the full Board in <br /> principle with some details to be worked out. <br /> The text of John Roberts' recommended draft advisory board policy is inserted in <br /> its entirety in this section of the minutes with the BOCC comments following each <br /> section. John Roberts will bring back a final draft of this policy with the recommended <br /> changes incorporated into document at a future meeting. <br /> DRAFT---ORANGE COUNTY BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS <br /> ADVISORY BOARD POLICY <br /> The Chair did not go over specific areas UNLESS John Roberts and/or the BOCC had <br /> comments on a particular section—therefore the comments from BOCC and others are <br /> referenced and italicized at the end of each section and the actual text in the original <br /> abstract is left intact and the changes proposed will be incorporated in John Roberts's <br /> final draft to be brought back to the BOCC in early 2012. <br /> FROM JOHN ROBERTS <br /> SECTION I: SCOPE <br /> A.
