SUBJECT/PROPOSAL/REQUEST: Adopt Board Policies for 2024
ITEM TYPE: Regular Action Item
STAFF CONTACT(S): Richardson, Rosenberg
PRESENTER (S): Steven L. Rosenberg
LEGAL REVIEW: Yes
REVIEWED BY: Jeffrey B. Richardson
BACKGROUND: The Board’s Policies address the Supervisors’ reimbursement for travel expenses, the appointment of Supervisors and community members to public bodies, and Supervisors serving without remuneration on the board of trustees of not-for-profit entities. The Board adopts its Policies at its annual organizational meeting each January.
STRATEGIC PLAN: Mission - To enhance the well-being and quality of life for all community members through the provision of the highest level of public service consistent with the prudent use of public funds.
DISCUSSION: The proposed Policies are the same as those adopted by the Board on January 4, 2023, with several minor revisions and a clarification in Section 3(B)(9) that the terms of citizen members of boards, commissions and committees shall continue, unless such members are otherwise removed, until their successors have been appointed and qualified. This treatment is consistent with general principles of law concerning appointments to public bodies.
If any amendments are desired, staff will return to the Board at a later meeting with amended Policies for the Board’s consideration.
BUDGET IMPACT: None.
