37 <br /> 1 Commissioner Richards said some of the Boards have unique requirements (like state <br /> 2 requirements for ethics and conflict of interest disclosure), so having that information ahead of <br /> 3 time might be helpful. <br /> 4 <br /> 5 Next steps for board and staff <br /> 6 <br /> 7 Lydian Altman said her takeaways from the first item were to update Article 46 resolution <br /> 8 by September 2022, develop a scorecard that demonstrates benefits to economic development, <br /> 9 schools, and costs to community (Externalities), draft RFP for strategic plan/performance <br /> 10 management for Board's approval by September 2022, and for staff to share examples of good <br /> 11 county strategic plans. She reiterated that she will send out thematic notes with more details to <br /> 12 the Board. <br /> 13 <br /> 14 Evaluation <br /> 15 <br /> 16 Lydian Altman asked what worked well today, and what could be done differently next <br /> 17 time. <br /> 18 Commissioner Fowler said the facility was good including the size of the room, <br /> 19 technology, space for food at the back, and the ability to eat outside. <br /> 20 Commissioner Hamilton said it was hard to hear in this room and would need <br /> 21 microphones next time. <br /> 22 Commissioner Fowler said she feels positive that something will come out of this retreat <br /> 23 because there are clear next steps. <br /> 24 Commissioner Hamilton said she wanted to have more opportunity for discussion to get <br /> 25 a sense of people's values and she feels she got that. <br /> 26 Commissioner Bedford said being in person was more beneficial than Zoom. <br /> 27 Commissioner Hamilton said having time for discussion rather than presentations also <br /> 28 helped. <br /> 29 Commissioner Bedford said all colleagues have been fully engaged and she said the <br /> 30 facilitator did a great job keeping them on track and summarizing. <br /> 31 Commissioner Bedford said January is a better time for the retreat. <br /> 32 Commissioner Greene agreed. <br /> 33 Commissioner Richards said she wouldn't mind doing some pre-work next time because <br /> 34 they can get more done that way. <br /> 35 Commissioner Hamilton said she would like to provide more information to staff about <br /> 36 what the Board needs ahead of time, so that they can get a full picture of information. <br /> 37 Commissioner Fowler suggested rotating the planning committee. <br /> 38 <br /> 39 Adjournment <br /> 40 A motion was made by Commissioner Fowler, seconded by Commissioner Hamilton, to <br /> 41 adjourn the meeting at approximately 4:00 p.m. <br /> 42 <br /> 43 VOTE: UNANIMOUS <br /> 44 <br /> 45 <br /> 46 Renee Price, Chair <br /> 47 <br /> 48 <br /> 49 Recorded by Tara May, Deputy Clerk to the Board <br /> 50 <br /> 51 Submitted for approval by Laura Jensen, Clerk to the Board. <br />
