31 1 Commissioner Jacobs said it will be just like the other goals, and it seemed like 2 everyone is in accord with the short statement being added. He said he misunderstood the role 3 of the CfE. 4 Commissioner McKee asked if there is purpose to the tabular format. 5 Chair Dorosin said the current format of the social justice goal is not useful, and it would 6 be more useful to have a short statement of why/how a particular item impacts the social justice 7 goal. He said he would think the same would be true of the environmental justice goal. He said 8 to put the three statements (financial, social, and environmental) on the front page, since many 9 times that is all people read. 10 Chair Dorosin said he understands the argument for not creating more work on staff. 11 Travis Myren said staff would be concerned about going through multiple projects, and 12 trying to quantify every aspect as pertains to goals; but a simple, general statement would be 13 fine. 14 Commissioner McKee said it reeks of patting themselves on the back. 15 Commissioner Marcoplos said if in the course of putting the agenda, it would be helpful 16 to include a few factoids to give public something to chew on. 17 Travis Myren said some projects would be more conducive to doing that than others. 18 Chair Dorosin said more complex items could be detailed during 19 presentations/discussions. 20 Commissioner Price said she does not review the social justice statements, and would 21 prefer to see the impact of different projects, both positive and negative. 22 David Stancil said staff will take the Board comments and suggestions to the 23 Commissioner for the Environment, and bring a proposed template at some future date. 24 25 Commissioner Marcoplos said he wanted to talk about the ground rules for Board of 26 County Commissioners, and how the Board members choose which boards on which they want 27 to serve in the coming year. He asked if there are specific rules laid out for the process, and he 28 thought there was. 29 Donna Baker said the Board made and adopted some changes to the process last year. 30 She said it is a short policy, which she can forward to the full Board. She said it would be a part 31 of the packet for the last meeting in December, and the boards and commissions will be chosen 32 that night as a part of a regular meeting. 33 Chair Dorosin summarized the process: each Commissioner gets one save only; each 34 Commissioner can serve two 1-year terms on intra-County boards, and four 1-year terms on an 35 intergovernmental board. He said this practice was not retroactive. 36 Commissioner Marcoplos asked if a Commissioner has served one year on a board, and 37 wishes to remain on it for a second year, would this be the Commissioner's one save. 38 Chair Dorosin said yes, this would be the one save. 39 Commissioner Marcoplos clarified that the BOCC is not committed to having a 40 Commissioner serve two years on every board. 41 Chair Dorosin said no, the BOCC is not committed to having Commissioners serve for 42 two years. 43 Commissioner Marcoplos said that this means the BOCC is okay with a Commissioner 44 learning the ropes of a particular board during the first year, only to leave and be replaced by a 45 different Commissioner the following year. He said he thought the intent was to have two years 46 on a board in order to understand it and be effective. He said it would also be beneficial for one 47 to serve a decent amount of time on an intergovernmental board for the same reasons. 48 Chair Dorosin said there was no agreement to Commissioners having two-year terms on 49 a board, and this is why boards and commissioners are chosen yearly.
