17 1 John Roberts said he could create some proposed rules for the BOCC to consider. 2 Chair Rich asked if staff could accomplish that before the summer break. 3 John Roberts said yes. 4 Commissioner Price said virtual meetings work, and once the crisis is over, allow board 5 members to attend virtually, but mandate a physical meeting for the public to be able to attend. 6 She said the policy should also cover whether board members can vote electronically. 7 John Roberts said the advisory board policy does not apply to some statutory boards 8 (Board of Health, Social Services, etc.), and this potential policy would only apply to advisory 9 boards. 10 Commissioner Marcoplos moved to allow advisory boards to meet virtually during this, 11 and any future crisis, and come up with a policy thereafter. 12 Chair Rich said the policy is needed, and voting now would be too broad and without 13 guidelines on how to meet. 14 Donna Baker said the BOCC is meeting virtually through June, and the policy could take 15 effect from July 1 onwards, which would allow guidance and help to those who have not done 16 these types of meetings before. 17 Thom Freeman said the boards really want to meet, and it would be good to allow them 18 to do so in the near future. 19 Commissioner McKee said none of these boards need the BOCC to act on anything 20 right now, and it can be discussed as an agenda item in an upcoming meeting. He said this 21 should be handled properly. 22 Bonnie Hammersley agreed with Commissioner McKee, and said staff could bring this 23 back on June 2nd 24 Commissioner McKee said a lot of people might have problems accessing virtual 25 meetings, like he has. 26 Commissioner Price said she is in favor of giving the go ahead to staff to draft some 27 language. 28 Commissioner Dorosin asked if the BOCC has a post-COVID policy, as to whether 29 Commissioners can participate remotely. 30 John Roberts said he believed so, but will research. 31 Commissioner McKee asked staff to please double check on that because he could not 32 do that 6 years ago, per state law. 33 34 A motion was made by Commissioner Price, seconded by Commissioner Bedford to 35 appoint the following to the Adult Care Home Community Advisory Committee: 36 37 Position 2 Jack Ramsey At-Large - One Year Preliminary Term Expiring 03/24/2021 38 39 VOTE: UNANIMOUS 40 41 Commissioner Greene asked if she could be provided some information about this 42 committee and the BOCC's roles and responsibilities regarding oversight of these homes. 43 Chair Rich said this committee has asked for more help, and it is important to continue 44 conversations, especially given the impact of COVID-19. 45 Commissioner Price said this committee is seeing inadequacies in adult care homes, 46 but are unsure how to address them.
