6 Chair Dorosin said to move forward with removing the four QPH meetings from the draft 2018 calendar; he will follow up with the legislators regarding the breakfast; and the Board can think some more about the "proposed" changes. Commissioner Rich said there are seven items on the November QPH, and the flood insurance item needs to be moved into a regular meeting, as it must be voted on prior to November 20th. She asked if there is any procedure that needs to be followed to move this into the November 14th meeting. John Roberts said this item needs to be at a QPH because of the language of the UDO. He said the QPH could be moved up a week to November 13th, or move the QPH to the 14th; open the public hearing; handle that issue only; and continue the rest of the public hearing until November 20th John Roberts said at least one member of the Planning staff preferred handling everything on November 13th, but the other option is available. He said the Planning Department does need to know the Board's pleasure so that appropriate notice can be given. Commissioner Price said Hurricane Irma may be in the area as early as Monday, September 11th, and asked if it is wise to have a meeting on that Monday. Chair Dorosin said that decision can be made closer to the time. 2. Board of Commissioners - Boards and Commissions Discussion Discussion Points for BOCC 1.

Chair Dorosin said he had requested this information, which indicates the statutory board that has their own bylaws versus state statutes that govern their work. He said this request was made in response to the Board of Health issues that arose earlier in the year. Chair Dorosin asked if the Board of County Commissioners can approve bylaws, or require that bylaws be approved by the BOCC. John Roberts said it depends on the board, and for the Department of Health and the Department of Social Services, he would say no. He said the BOCC does approve the operating procedures for the Board of Adjustment. Chair Dorosin suggested that the Attorney review and summarize anything of note within the Board of Health by laws.
