r AUG 2 8 1990-� Chapter 102 - Board of County Commissioners Meetings and Procedures. Attorney Vitunac noted that this sets out the names of the 3 County Officers and their duties and the Board/employee relationship. The recommended changes%have to do with the agenda. Since this was written, the agenda has switched to the Administrator; so, the words "Executive Aide" in 102.01 should be changed to read "County Administrator." In 102.04, we use the same agenda format presently used, changing Public Presentations to Proclamations and Presentations and changing Clerk to the Board to Constitutional Officers. Chairman Eggert discussed the inclusion of Matters by the Public, but noted there is some question if we should have this. Commissioner Scurlock commented that the only thing he sees is that there are a number of policies that we historically chose to follow but that have never been put down in writing, and he did not see any attempt to do that here. For example, it has been our policy that if a Commissioner has a conflict or feels a conflict, not only do they file the appropriate papers, but they physically leave the room. We also have had a policy that if something is turned in by Wednesday before the next meeting, anyone will be put on the agenda. He just felt all these various type things should be spelled out. He further noted that we have not adopted Roberts Rules of Order. Attorney Vitunac believed that is covered under 102.06, and that (f) really spells it out. He believed Roberts Rules actually stifle debate. Commissioner Wheeler noted that our meetings are run very openly, and he personally thought having it governed by 3 votes works well. Commissioner Scurlock further noted that in regard to appointments to the various boards, we have had rather general policies that are not specifically set down. Chairman Eggert agreed that on the P&Z Commission, we tradi- tionally have said we would make one appointment from each 28
