Board Operating Procedures and Communications (Chair Candace Andersen) |
|
Chair Andersen led a discussion on Board Procedures and Communications. No vote was taken but, by consensus, it was agreed that the regular, Tuesday meetings Board of Supervisors meetings would convene at 9:00, and adjourn to closed session between 9:00 - 9:30 a.m., with the public agenda items to begin at 9:30 a.m. On days when there are no items for the 9:00 a.m. closed session, the Board of Supervisors meeting will convene at 9:30. The Chair expressed her preference to take public comment at the beginning of the meeting, absent unusual circumstances. It was confirmed that the length of public comment is at the discretion of the Chair.
Staff was asked to bring to the Board an action to adopt a resolution amending Resolution 2016/1, which appointed Board members to serve on the committees. Board members questioned the need to appoint alternates to standing committees of the Board of Supervisors. The discussion was that alternates could be appointed by the Chair in unusual circumstances where a Board member was absent from four consecutive meetings. This matter will return to the Board for further discussion at a later date.
