4 <br /> 5. For the Board to discuss re-structuring the agenda order to reflect <br /> externally oriented items versus internally oriented agenda items. <br /> Excerpt from the January 27, 2017 BOCC Retreat DRAFT Minutes: <br /> • In response to Chair Dorosin's earlier remarks about the Board's meetings <br /> not being as engaging to the public as they could be, Commissioner <br /> Jacobs said that the Board could consider changing its meeting agendas. <br /> The first part of our meeting could be externally oriented. Then in the <br /> middle we could have a presentation from one of the Departments. We <br /> could leave the dais at that point and turn the podium over to the staff. <br /> And then we would come back for the more internally oriented agenda <br /> items after that, such as procedures for advisory boards or appointments, <br /> for example. Just like they have moved public hearings up to the front, <br /> because that is what is of interest to most people in the public, they could <br /> identify the items that most people in the public do not care about, and <br /> address them later. <br />
