31 Commissioner Marcoplos clarified that the BOCC is not committed to having a 1 Commissioner serve two years on every board. 2 Chair Dorosin said no, the BOCC is not committed to having Commissioners serve for 3 two years. 4 Commissioner Marcoplos said that this means the BOCC is okay with a Commissioner 5 learning the ropes of a particular board during the first year, only to leave and be replaced by a 6 different Commissioner the following year. He said he thought the intent was to have two years 7 on a board in order to understand it and be effective. He said it would also be beneficial for one 8 to serve a decent amount of time on an intergovernmental board for the same reasons. 9 Chair Dorosin said there was no agreement to Commissioners having two-year terms on 10 a board, and this is why boards and commissioners are chosen yearly. 11 Commissioner Marcoplos asked if there is any concern about a Commissioner being 12 experienced in order to be effective, and simply flipping from one Commissioner to another from 13 year to year. 14 Chair Dorosin said if a Board member feels strongly about staying on a particular 15 board/commission, then said Board member can present that request/argument to the rest of 16 the Board and the Board can determine whether it agrees or not. He said it was his 17 understanding that each Commissioner gets one save, and there are the other limits as 18 previously outlined. He said just because one gets appointed to board “x” does not mean that 19 one will be on that board for 2 years. He said all the boards and commissions are on the list 20 every year. He said the intergovernmental boards having longer limits to allow for a 21 Commissioner to get fully immersed and be most effective. 22 Commissioner Marcoplos said he just wanted clarification, and looks forward to reading 23 the written rules/process when forwarded by the Clerk. 24 Chair Dorosin said the choosing process will occur on December 11. 25 Commissioner Rich said the choices are not approved until the first meeting in January. 26 Donna Baker said she notifies the boards after the choices are made, but there are no 27 work sessions in December or January, and the Board decided last year to move this process 28 forward to December. 29 Commissioner Price said some of the boards start meeting before the Commissioners 30 have things situated. 31 32 The meeting adjourned at 9:57 p.m. 33 34 35 Mark Dorosin, Chair 36 37 38 Donna Baker 39 Clerk to the Board 40
