5 Commissioner Rich said term limits should be 2 years. 1 Commissioner McKee said to start the term limits anew, not retroactively. 2 Chair Dorosin said the combining of options C and D seems most favorable, with 3 two-year term limits, a round robin process, and collegial conversation. He said option E 4 could be added, but that does not seem well supported by the BOCC. He asked if the 5 Clerk could bring this back for approval and the Board agreed. 6 Chair Dorosin said he wanted to bring up one more housekeeping item: when the 7 Board votes for Chair/Vice Chair in December, it is done via a written ballot that is given 8 to the Clerk; the Clerk reads the votes, but never states who voted for whom. He said 9 he finds this to be inappropriate, and akin to a secret ballot. He said the votes are public 10 record, but he thinks the votes, and who cast them, should be read aloud. 11 Commissioner McKee said it is available to the public as a public record anyway. 12 Chair Dorosin asked if there is a reason that the Clerk should not read this 13 information aloud, as it allows for greater transparency. 14 Commissioner Burroughs agreed with Chair Dorosin. 15 Commissioner Price asked if a written ballot is even necessary, or is a show of 16 hands acceptable. 17 John Roberts said the action will be reflected in the minutes, which is the official 18 record. He said other boards have used electronic voting, which shows up on the video 19 screen of the meeting. 20 Commissioner Price said if the intention is to see who is voting for whom, then 21 there is no need for a ballot; a raising of hands will suffice. 22 Commissioner Jacobs said any changes should be added to a future agenda for 23 a vote. 24 The Clerk will provide an abstract at the November 20th meeting. 25 26 2.
