Commissioner Price said she agrees with the idea of giving certain comments in the <br /> beginning and then give more internal reports at the end of the meeting. <br /> Commissioner Jacobs said the key is keeping it to three minutes. He said Board <br /> members should have the opportunity to make any comments while the room is full. He said <br /> there have been problems in the past with sticking to the three minute requirement, but <br /> everyone in this group is good at keeping within the time frame. <br /> Commissioner Burroughs said she is very comfortable with the three minute limit. <br /> Chair McKee said he is hearing consensus to make this change and leave three <br /> minutes for each Board member. <br /> Commissioner Rich asked if"Petitions" would become "Petitions and Announcements." <br /> Chair McKee said that was his wording, but he is open to other suggestions. He said it <br /> will be up to the Board to clarify when a comment is being made versus a petition. He said <br /> there needs to be a habit of making a clear statement when it is a petition. <br /> David Hunt said this proposal would need to come back to the Board for approval. He <br /> said he is hearing that this is to be changed to "Petitions and Announcements" with a three <br /> minute time limit, and then there will be comments time at the end of the meeting, without a <br /> time limit. <br /> Chair McKee said there seems to be consensus on that solution. <br /> A motion was made by Commissioner Jacobs, seconded by Commissioner Burroughs <br /> to adjourn the meeting at 9:31 p.m. <br /> Earl McKee, Chair <br /> David Hunt <br /> Deputy Clerk <br />
