~~~~ ~~ ~~ <br />1 b. Proposed Guidelines for Commissioner Requests for Information from County Staff <br />2 The Board considered proposed Guidelines for Commissioner Requests for Information from <br />County Staff. John Link summarized the information in the agenda abstract. He made reference to <br />page three, item three, which is in the case when the information requested requires more than two <br />5 hours of staff work. In this case, the Manager will have a discussion with the Chair to decide how to <br />6 respond. <br />~ Commissioner Gordon asked about the word "significant" and how much time this involves - <br />g two hours or several days. John Link said that staff would try to respond right away. However, we may <br />9 not know how long it will take until sometime after the meeting. If the item takes longer than planned, <br />1o then John Link would talk with the Chair and discuss where it would fit into the priorities. <br />1 i Chair Jacobs suggested changing the language in item B-1 on page three to "(more than <br />12 several hours)" to be consistent with item three, "Additional Information Requesting Significant Staff <br />13 Work (More than Two Hours)." <br />14 A motion was made by Commissioner Halkiotis, seconded by Commissioner Carey to <br />15 approve the Guidelines for Commissioner Requests for Information from County Staff with the change <br />16 as suggested above by Chair Jacobs. <br />17 Commissioner Gordon said that there are other things that the County Commissioners do <br />18 that take staff time, such as meetings. John Link said that at this stage the number of project <br />19 committees or work groups is reasonable and is not encroaching on staff time. <br />zo <br /> <br />• <br />
