34 <br /> 1 Lydian Altman said it is good for staff to hear this so they can include more information in <br /> 2 their presentation of items. <br /> 3 Lydian Altman said these are cautionary in some ways. <br /> 4 Chair Price reiterated that the Board should review tax levies periodically. <br /> 5 Lydian Altman asked if there were thoughts on how often. <br /> 6 Commissioner Hamilton said she is happy to leave the suggestion at periodically until <br /> 7 the strategic plan and other pieces are in place so they don't lock in on something they can't <br /> 8 sustain. <br /> 9 Commissioner Greene agreed. <br /> 10 Lydian Altman asked if everyone is in support of the suggestions made for this topic. <br /> 11 She also asked for clarification on what Commissioner Bedford and Chair Price wrote about <br /> 12 consideration of new and different types of information. <br /> 13 Commissioner Bedford said this is the same thing they discussed before about reporting <br /> 14 out from liaison meetings and spreading department updates across the year rather than two <br /> 15 budget work sessions. She suggested the Board plan at least one programming in-service or <br /> 16 training for themselves each year on a relevant topic that is beyond a retreat. <br /> 17 Chair Price added when there are controversial issues it would be good to make efforts <br /> 18 to hear from all sides before reaching a decision. <br /> 19 Commissioner Fowler added it would be good to also see data that provides more <br /> 20 context. For example, if 10 people were served, how many were eligible or reached out or were <br /> 21 served last year. <br /> 22 Commissioner Hamilton said it would also be good for there to be definitions and more <br /> 23 labels on data to provide more clarity. <br /> 24 Commissioner Bedford reiterated she would like a future discussion on protocol for <br /> 25 reporting out from liaison committee meetings. <br /> 26 Commissioner Fowler said when the Board comes to a conclusion on that, it would be <br /> 27 nice to have the protocol as information item quarterly as a reminder. <br /> 28 Chair Price said the protocol may change with every iteration of the Board depending on <br /> 29 preference. <br /> 30 Commissioner Richards said that ties into the question about how to spend time at <br /> 31 meetings. She asked if there was an easy way to have a designated space for more good to <br /> 32 know/nice to know information. <br /> What might this governing hard have to Flo differently to move towards these <br /> high performing priorities? <br /> Suggested Change <br /> * Preparation for <br /> meetings <br /> Time spent during the <br /> meetings <br /> Communication <br /> between meetings <br /> 33 �� <br />
