14 1 Commissioner Rich asked if there is a way to get a report on the number of people 2 serving on more than one board. 3 Thom Freeman said he can have that information pulled. 4 Commissioner Dorosinsaid he wouldlike to register his respectful dissent. He said 5 even if you change this to one board, people can still serve on multiple boards by being on 6 short term task forces, work groups or the non-advisory boards. 7 Commissioner Price said she does not mind the multiple boards.She said it is the job 8 of the Board to make sure that the wealth is spread around. 9 Commissioner Dorosin suggested that if someone is already serving on an advisory 10 board, they would only be placed on a second board if there were no other applicants. 11 Chair McKee said he is not seeing consensus on this. 12 13 5)Process for nominations for applicants (who are not recommended) at Board 14 meetings? 15 Currently, most nominations for applicants to boards and commissions come from advisory 16 board recommendations. 17 Decision Point:Does the Board want to develop a process for nominating applicants 18 at BOCC meetings who are not recommended by a particular advisory board? 19 20 There was consensus that this issue was already decided in the earlier discussion. 21 22 4.Discussion on Board Rules of Procedures 23 Chair McKee said this item arises from discussion about moving board comments to the 24 beginning of the meeting when there is more of an audience present. 25 Commissioner Dorosin said his real concern was regarding announcements that are 26 directed at the public, such as event announcements and things of that nature. He thinks this 27 should be included at the front of the meeting as Board petitions and announcements, and the 28 Board should police themselves that these announcements are directed outward. 29 He said reports that are more internal process updates could stay at the end of the 30 meeting. He said when there are community based events, it is important to have these at the 31 front of the meeting. 32 Chair McKee suggested that the Board open up the petition section to include 33 announcements that are related to public events, while holding the three minute limit. He said 34 he objects to moving all comments to the beginning,becausethere are people waiting to 35 discuss other items. 36 Commissioner Rich said she would like to keep the petitions separate from the 37 announcements. 38 Chair McKee said he is just trying to find a way to limit the time. 39 Commissioner Price said she is still thinking along the lines of comments versus 40 announcements. She said there are times when you want to make a comment recognizing 41 employees for doing an outstanding job, and you want the public to hear this. 42 Chair McKeesaid he does not have a problem with that, and the Board members would 43 have to use their own discretion. 44 Commissioner Price said she agrees with the idea of giving certain comments in the 45 beginning and then give more internalreports at the end of the meeting. 46 Commissioner Jacobssaid the key is keepingit to three minutes. He said Board 47 members should have the opportunity to make any comments while the room is full.He said 48 there have been problems in the past with sticking to the three minute requirement, but 49 everyone in this group is good at keeping within the time frame. 50 Commissioner Burroughssaid she is very comfortable with the three minute limit.
