John Roberts said that these 11 boards are ready for the Board's review and <br /> discussion. <br /> Commissioner Gordon said that a few of the board policies have some things about <br /> attendance and residency but others did not, some had information about special meetings <br /> and others did not, etc. <br /> John Roberts said that each board policy will be different. The general policy has <br /> provisions for residency and such and that would cover all boards. <br /> Commissioner Gordon said that if something, such as residency, is specifically in an <br /> individual board policy, then it should be in all of them. <br /> John Roberts said that each board has different responsibilities and Commissioner <br /> Gordon said that she just wanted to find out the process that was used, and how it was applied <br /> to the policies of the various boards. <br /> Commissioner Yuhasz said that some of what he said is similar to what Commissioner <br /> Gordon said because these are not all formatted the same. It would be helpful to have the <br /> same items under the different sections under each board's policy. <br /> OUTBoard <br /> Commissioner Gordon made reference to Duties, Section 2a, and said that she would <br /> like to acknowledge that the board will work on things besides roadway and transit needs. She <br /> suggested adding, "and other transportation needs" to this sentence. The Board agreed. <br /> Chair Pelissier made reference to page 4, 3-b, and said that she thought there was no <br /> Transportation Services Board anymore. She suggested striking this. The Board agreed. <br /> Commissioner Jacobs asked why it stipulates that members have to serve one year, <br /> etc. <br /> John Roberts said that this is a holdover from the current policy. <br /> Commissioner Jacobs suggested eliminating the language about the specific terms and <br /> create a template for new boards should something like this be needed. <br /> Commissioner Yuhasz said that in a lot of these bylaws there were specific times and <br /> locations for meetings. He suggested striking these. <br /> John Roberts said that this is in the OUTBoard bylaws at the request of staff members <br /> because there was concern from staff that the start times for this board have been extremely <br /> random. <br /> Commissioner Jacobs said that the bylaws could state that the boards should adopt a <br /> set meeting schedule annually. <br /> Commissioner Gordon said that there could be a general wording such as "every 1St <br /> Wednesday," etc. <br /> Commissioner Foushee said that it does not have to be in the specific bylaws but in a <br /> general location such as the website. <br /> Commissioner Yuhasz clarified that the general policy would be that each board would <br /> adopt a meeting schedule annually for time and location and that it would be distributed. <br /> The detailed information will be deleted from these particular bylaws. <br /> Economic Development Advisory Board (New Board): <br /> Economic Development Director Steve Brantley said that he participated in drafting the <br /> bylaws for this board. <br /> Frank Clifton said that the key to this is decided on how many members for this board. <br /> He suggested that membership be between 7-11 members. <br />
