27 <br /> <br />-Appointments: Reformatting of appointment abstract (to reduce duplication of 1 <br />information), membership roster and applicant interest listing to orientate both 2 <br />to same format and reduction of duplication of information on applicant 3 <br />interest list. (examples in attachment C- were used on a trial basis at the Sept. 4 <br />4th meeting). 5 <br /> 6 <br />Already in place. 7 <br /> 8 <br />10. Discussion/Decision Point: 9 <br />-Boards/Commissions Attendance by BOCC members: To request an alternate 10 <br />to attend meetings if a BOCC member is unable to attend a board or 11 <br />commission meeting (whether it is an internal board/commission or an 12 <br />intergovernmental board). 13 <br /> 14 <br />Donna Baker said if a Commissioner is unable to attend, and there is no designated 15 <br />alternate, the Commissioner could call another Commissioner to attend in their place. 16 <br />Commissioner Burroughs said she thinks this already happens. 17 <br />Chair Dorosin said to let the Clerk know if you are unable to attend a particular board or 18 <br />commission meeting, and if that board does not have designated alternate member, Donna 19 <br />Baker can let full Board know to see if anyone else wants to attend. 20 <br />Commissioner Marcoplos said this is likely only an issue where a board has only one 21 <br />BOCC representative, and perhaps a back up could be designated ahead of time for those 22 <br />boards. 23 <br />Commissioner Jacobs said this places the responsibility on the Commissioner to get in 24 <br />touch with the alternate, which does not always happen. 25 <br />Commissioner Burroughs said the BOCC should be paid more, as this job is getting 26 <br />bigger and bigger. 27 <br />Commissioner Price said certain boards have training requirements, so an alternate 28 <br />would be ineligible to fully participate/vote. 29 <br />Chair Dorosin said an alternate could just go and listen. 30 <br />Commissioner Rich said it would be good to have someone present 31 <br />Chair Dorosin said work with the Clerk if you are unable to attend a meeting such as 32 <br />above. 33 <br /> 34 <br />4. Discussion on Alternatives for Potential Environmental Impacts Section on BOCC 35 <br />Meeting Agenda Abstracts 36 <br /> 37 <br />BACKGROUND: 38 <br />In response to an April 26, 2018 petition from the Board of Commissioners to potentially begin 39 <br />outlining environmental impacts within agenda item abstracts, staff has prepared two draft 40 <br />agenda abstract templates for Board discussion and feedback. Both templates are integrated 41 <br />approaches that recognize and illustrate the three sustainability components of: 42 <br />• Environment (related to the 2005 Environmental Responsibility Goal - Attachment C); 43 <br />• Equity (related to the 2010 Social Justice Goal - Attachment D); and 44 <br />• Economy (Financial Impact). 45 <br /> 46 <br />The templates are as follows: 47 <br /> 48 <br />Attachment A – Minimal Edits – Current abstract format with integrated approach including 49 <br />the impacts related to the 2005 Environmental Responsibility Goal. 50
