27 <br /> 1 Commissioner Rich said at the end of a meeting, the Board is keen to get out of the <br /> 2 meeting, and may not be having necessary discussions. <br /> 3 Chair Dorosin said there is agreement to move appointments up a bit in the agenda, and <br /> 4 to do them bi-monthly or quarterly as a regular item that allows for more discussion. <br /> 5 Commissioner Rich said if appointments are placed before consent, then staff will wait <br /> 6 longer to see if a consent item is going to be pulled. She said if the Commissioners can agree <br /> 7 to inform everyone ahead of time if they plan to pull a consent item, it would ensure that staff <br /> 8 does not have to linger. <br /> 9 Commissioner Jacobs said there is a deadline to reveal concerns about agenda items, <br /> 10 and if the Chair sticks to that deadline a Commissioner would be unable to pull an item at the <br /> 11 last minute. <br /> 12 Chair Dorosin agreed. <br /> 13 Staff will review agenda format and then propose/move the appointments to a different <br /> 14 location on the agenda (rather before the Manager/Attorney Comments or under regular <br /> 15 agenda or reports.) <br /> 16 <br /> 17 8. Discussion/Decision Point: <br /> 18 -Applicant Interest Listing: Thom Freeman currently contacts applicants <br /> 19 before putting up on abstracts to see if they are still interested in a position on <br /> 20 a board and if there is no response email/call within a specified timeframe- <br /> 21 and it is still less than two years for the application on file, does staff keep <br /> 22 applicant on interest list or remove. <br /> 23 <br /> 24 Chair Dorosin said this is like purging voters. <br /> 25 Commissioner Rich said to give applicants a time frame in which to respond to Thom <br /> 26 Freeman's contact, and tell them if they do not respond in a timely manner, they will be purged <br /> 27 from the list. <br /> 28 Commissioner Marcoplos said one can apply again. <br /> 29 Thom Freeman said the applicant is removed from the list, but he keeps their contact <br /> 30 information. <br /> 31 <br /> 32 9. Discussion/Decision Point: <br /> 33 <br /> 34 -Appointments: Reformatting of appointment abstract (to reduce duplication <br /> 35 of information), membership roster and applicant interest listing to orientate <br /> 36 both to same format and reduction of duplication of information on applicant <br /> 37 interest list. (examples in attachment C- were used on a trial basis at the Sept. <br /> 38 4t" meeting). <br /> 39 <br /> 40 Already in place. <br /> 41 <br /> 42 10. Discussion/Decision Point: <br /> 43 -Boards/Commissions Attendance by BOCC members: To request an alternate <br /> 44 to attend meetings if a BOCC member is unable to attend a board or <br /> 45 commission meeting (whether it is an internal board/commission or an <br /> 46 intergovernmental board). <br /> 47 <br /> 48 Donna Baker said if a Commissioner is unable to attend, and there is no designated <br /> 49 alternate, the Commissioner could call another Commissioner to attend in their place. <br /> 50 Commissioner Burroughs said she thinks this already happens. <br />
