He said last year the goal was to ensure that <br />no Commissioner had a lifetime appointment to any committee, which was achieved by the <br />changes made. He said the Board also acknowledged the need to serve for longer on some <br />boards due to the learning curve; however, there was no formal process put in place to ensure <br />this. He said he would like to discuss this at a future work session, and wants to know how the <br />Board makes the most of its power by putting the right people in these very important positions, <br />part of which is allowing the person to stay in the position for more than a year. <br />Chair Rich said one can be on a board for two years and when it comes time to choose, <br />it may be that no other Commissioners want the position. She said this begs the question of <br />whether the original Commissioner should be able to remain on the board. She agreed there <br />are details that need to be ironed out.
