Additions or Changes to the Agenda <br />24 <br />25 Chair Jacobs called the meeting to order at 7:00 pm. He asked Donna Baker, Clerk to <br />26 the Board, to introduce Thom Freeman, the new Assistant to the Clerk. <br />27 Donna Baker introduced Thom Freeman as the newest member of the Clerk's office. <br />28 She said he comes from the Department of Social Services. He will be in the re- instated, full - <br />29 time position of Assistant to the Clerk, with a focus on boards and commissions. She noted <br />30 that this position was eliminated due to staff budget reductions in 2010 and was recently re- <br />31 instated by the Board of Commissioners during the past budget cycle. She said there were <br />32 many facets of the position that were unable to be addressed during the absence of a full time <br />33 position, such as chair meetings, staff orientations, and volunteer recruitment and recognition. <br />34 She said the re- instatement of this position will help bring things back up to "full throttle" in the <br />35 coming months. <br />36 Thom Freeman said he is looking forward to the challenge. <br />37 <br />38 Chair Jacobs reviewed the following agenda changes and items at the Commissioners' <br />39 places: <br />40 - PowerPoint - Item 4 -b — Comprehensive Annual Financial Report for FYE 6/30/2013 <br />41 - Agenda change to Item 6 -f- Resolution of Approval — Hughes- Morgan Conservation <br />42 Easement Donation- - This must be removed from the consent agenda to discuss <br />43 whether the BOCC wishes to accept the conservation easement without the liability <br />44 insurance provisions found in section 5(c) of the draft conservation easement.
