Commissioner Eggert also felt that sometimes <br />we should discuss having an ordinance on a subject before going - <br />any further in assigning staff time, when in fact, there is not <br />any support for it. Commissioner Eggert stressed that she <br />believes that a County Commissioner always should have the <br />ability as an elected official to put something on the Agenda, <br />but under Items T and 2 in the memo, nothing comes onto the <br />Agenda without the approval of the Office of the County <br />Administrator, and she disagrees with that. <br />Administrator Balczun stated that staff regulates itself <br />just like the Board regulates itself.

Commissioners should have the right to put <br />their own matters on, but it is up to the Commission to ask if it <br />68, <br />
