37 <br /> Lydian Altman clarified that this would be so there is better matching with qualification <br /> and responsibilities of each board. <br /> Commissioner Richards said some of the Boards have unique requirements (like state <br /> requirements for ethics and conflict of interest disclosure), so having that information ahead of <br /> time might be helpful. <br /> Next steps for board and staff <br /> Lydian Altman said her takeaways from the first item were to update Article 46 <br /> resolution by September 2022, develop a scorecard that demonstrates benefits to economic <br /> development, schools, and costs to community (Externalities), draft RFP for strategic <br /> plan/performance management for Board's approval by September 2022, and for staff to share <br /> examples of good county strategic plans. She reiterated that she will send out thematic notes <br /> with more details to the Board. <br /> Evaluation <br /> Lydian Altman asked what worked well today, and what could be done differently next <br /> time. <br /> Commissioner Fowler said the facility was good including the size of the room, <br /> technology, space for food at the back, and the ability to eat outside. <br /> Commissioner Hamilton said it was hard to hear in this room and would need <br /> microphones next time. <br /> Commissioner Fowler said she feels positive that something will come out of this retreat <br /> because there are clear next steps. <br /> Commissioner Hamilton said she wanted to have more opportunity for discussion to get <br /> a sense of people's values and she feels she got that. <br /> Commissioner Bedford said being in person was more beneficial than Zoom. <br /> Commissioner Hamilton said having time for discussion rather than presentations also <br /> helped. <br /> Commissioner Bedford said all colleagues have been fully engaged and she said the <br /> facilitator did a great job keeping them on track and summarizing. <br /> Commissioner Bedford said January is a better time for the retreat. <br /> Commissioner Greene agreed. <br /> Commissioner Richards said she wouldn't mind doing some pre-work next time because <br /> they can get more done that way. <br /> Commissioner Hamilton said she would like to provide more information to staff about <br /> what the Board needs ahead of time, so that they can get a full picture of information. <br /> Commissioner Fowler suggested rotating the planning committee. <br /> Adjournment <br /> A motion was made by Commissioner Fowler, seconded by Commissioner Hamilton, to <br /> adjourn the meeting at approximately 4:00 p.m. <br /> VOTE: UNANIMOUS <br /> Renee Price, Chair <br />
