34 <br /> Lydian Altman said it is good for staff to hear this so they can include more information <br /> in their presentation of items. <br /> Lydian Altman said these are cautionary in some ways. <br /> Chair Price reiterated that the Board should review tax levies periodically. <br /> Lydian Altman asked if there were thoughts on how often. <br /> Commissioner Hamilton said she is happy to leave the suggestion at periodically until <br /> the strategic plan and other pieces are in place so they don't lock in on something they can't <br /> sustain. <br /> Commissioner Greene agreed. <br /> Lydian Altman asked if everyone is in support of the suggestions made for this topic. <br /> She also asked for clarification on what Commissioner Bedford and Chair Price wrote about <br /> consideration of new and different types of information. <br /> Commissioner Bedford said this is the same thing they discussed before about reporting <br /> out from liaison meetings and spreading department updates across the year rather than two <br /> budget work sessions. She suggested the Board plan at least one programming in-service or <br /> training for themselves each year on a relevant topic that is beyond a retreat. <br /> Chair Price added when there are controversial issues it would be good to make efforts <br /> to hear from all sides before reaching a decision. <br /> Commissioner Fowler added it would be good to also see data that provides more <br /> context. For example, if 10 people were served, how many were eligible or reached out or were <br /> served last year. <br /> Commissioner Hamilton said it would also be good for there to be definitions and more <br /> labels on data to provide more clarity. <br /> Commissioner Bedford reiterated she would like a future discussion on protocol for <br /> reporting out from liaison committee meetings. <br /> Commissioner Fowler said when the Board comes to a conclusion on that, it would be <br /> nice to have the protocol as information item quarterly as a reminder. <br /> Chair Price said the protocol may change with every iteration of the Board depending on <br /> preference. <br /> Commissioner Richards said that ties into the question about how to spend time at <br /> meetings. She asked if there was an easy way to have a designated space for more good to <br /> know/nice to know information. <br /> Wtial migt0 Ihis gaveining hoard gave to da dilleiently l❑move towards-these <br /> high performing priorities? <br /> , .
